Pt 1: The Darkness Within

It had been three years since the Japanese Digidestined had defeated MaloMyotismon and stopped his sinister plot to take over the Digital World. After Oikawa had returned peace and prosparity to the Digital World many things happend that changed the existence of many. Every person in the world had recieved their own Digimon partner and things looked up for both worlds, the evil that had once hovered over the them had disappeared and things were the best they could ever be. The Digidestined had now become celebrities in their own right and there was not a place on the planet that the story of their journey was not known. There were two exceptions to this peace and happiness, One was a boy named Jonathon who lived on his computer after tragic events had turned him bitter and the other was a boy named James who, unlike everyone else on the planet, had not recieved a Digimon partner with no explanation why. The two lived closer than they could imagine to one another, surprising considering they both had their problems. Unknown to either of them the day in which their lives would change was to come very soon and would result in a new friendship gained and a new Darkness born...

James sat in his apartment alone, the only light came from the flashing images of the television screen that he sat watching in total Darkness, the volume so loud that it drained out the sounds of people and their Digimon outside having fun as the weekend begun. As the light of the television flashed on the wall of the apartment many pictures could be seen, most of them drawings of a Digimon James had thought up one night not to long after people beganing getting their partners. The drawings seemed to get Darker and filled with less passion the further along the wall they went, obviously due to the fact that James slowly began to loose Hope of every meeting his partner, it was like a part of him slowly had began to die and the drawings showed the steady progress of this happening. "A psycho female with an axe, talk about a bad combination!" James sat slouched down in his chair watching a Horror movie that was showing on one of the television channels, the movie was about a deformed woman who in rage of her appearence went on a massacre with and axe she had customised herself. To most people this movie would be too horrifying to watch but to James it was nothing, he had lost his fears the day he had lost his Hope and to him this movie was nothing more than a joke "If I ever meet some crazy axe wielding woman i'll definatly make sure that she was beaten to a pulp before I left, these stupid people hit her on the head once and think she wont get up and come at them!" As James continued to watch the movie the Light that shone underneath the door from the passage Light began to flicker wildly before the entire power went and James sat in total Darkness "What the?" James got up and felt his way over the furniture to the door as strange loud noises began to come echoing from the top floor of the apartment building "Ok strange noises and power cuts, thats either a Digimon or a psycho..." James openend the door and made his way to the stairs "Hopefully both!".

"Ok who the heck lives up here?" James walked up the creaky stairs and came to the top floor, it was obviously not meant for living but James could hear mumbling coming from the room at the top of the stairs and proved that someone had decided to make their home up there "What do you mean there is not enough power!" James walked over and looked through a gap in the door which was not properly shut to see a boy walking around talking to himself "Im a genius of course I can work out where to find the power what do you take me for!" The boy stopped at his computer and began grinning "Yes of course, I can hack into the city's power grid and send all the power to this building!" The boy grinned as a strange shadow was cast from the computer "Then why do you not do it already?" James jumped back as from no where a voice echoed through the room, it was an evil voice and sounded very serious and sinister "Fine I will but I shall have to fetch some things, Im quite sure I saw what I will need in the storage room in the basement, I will be right back..." The boy began to walk towards the door as James went and hid behind a pillar the was next to the staircase where he could not be seen "Jonathon! Do not forget that if I bring you here you will have to do my bidding, I need someone of your experteise to defeat my enemies" The boy turned round and nodded "Yeah yeah you keep your promise and I shall keep mine!" As Jonathon dissappeared down the staircase James walked over to the door and looked in, no one was there much to James' shock "Ok what the hell is this guy doing?" James walked in the room and looked around, it was almost empty apart from a computer on a desk, the computer looked like it had been modified by Jonathon to be perfect in every area accept for appearance in which it looked very strange, the keyboard had its keys all muddled up to what normal computers had "And who would you be then?" James jumped and spun around as a ghostly figure emerged from the wall and stood grinning at him evily "Well who are you child?" The figure floated towards James who stumbled back and fell on the computer, his hand smashing the keyboard bringing up three letters on the screen - V, A and M "What are you are you a Digimon?" James looked up at the ghostly figure as footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs "That does not matter, but if I was you I would hide, Jonathon doesnt like anyone touching his computer..." The figure grinned as James slowly went towards a cuboard and went in, closing it so he could not be seen as the figure laughed as Jonathon came through the door "Who were you talking too?" The figure smrked and disappeared into the computer "No one, let us get on with this shall we?" Jonathon nodded as he connected some things to his computer and sat down in front of it "Let my voyage begin!".

"Ok im into the power grid, they think they can stop genius' like myself from breaking through such primitive firewalls? How pitiful!" Jonathon sat typing at the computer as James sat in the cuboard looking through a small crack, just enough to see what was going on "Is it done?" The figures voice appeared again as Jonathon smiled "It is... Now!" Jonathon hit the return key and all of a sudden all the light in the building came on "Now how do I open the Gate to your reality?" The figure laughed at Jonathon's question "It will take something you cannot get from a computer boy, it takes rage, anger, misery, everything that makes a person evil!" Jonathon sat looking unamused "Your telling me im doing all this for nothing!" The figure laughed once again "Of coure not, you just need the right motivation, like this one - It was your fault your partner was deleted then absorbed by that wild Digimon, after you caused you parents accident you went mad forcing him to fight so much that he could barely keep himself awake until the day when he could no longer do so and collapsed in battle and you had to stand watching as you partner died, you ended up causing the deaths of three beings and you didnt even realise it!" Jonathon jumped up and picked up the chair and threw it through the window "No it wasnt my fault! Tsukaimon had the power to fight but he didnt use it! he was weak and didnt deserve to be my partner! He... What am I saying... He was my best friend and im speaking as if he was just a toy..." The voice laughed again "Thats it were almost there keep up your thoughts of anger and sorrow and soon you shall leave this world for another!" Jonathon got a tear in his eye and fell to the floor sobbing "Stop! This is no way to bring me to your reality!" The figure appeared behind Jonathon and smiled "Oh you are wrong my boy it is, look!" Jonathon looked up and his tears dissappeared as the screen began to blur and the room began to shake as a portal openend up in the computer "Now go through, I have plans for you that you cannot even imagine!" The figure picked up Jonathon and threw him at the computer, the portal openend wider and sucked him in aswell as bits of paper that flew across the room "Ah perfect these humans are so easy to manipulate its pathetic!" James fell forwards as the door to the cuboard blew open "Ah I had forgotton about you, How about you join me aswell, you will have power beyond what you can comprihend!" James looked at the figure then at the door before jumping up and trying to run away as the figure teleported in front of the only exit "Please you think that you can escape a spirit like myself?" The figure picked James up and threw him at the computer as the portal openend up and sucked him in "Hmm who would have thought I would find two beings in this reality with such a strong Dark force? Oh well lets just Hope they dont get lost along the way!" The figure had a sinister grin as he went over to the computer "Oh well back to take over the Digital World of my reality!".

"Wha? Where am I?" James rubbed his eyes as the sun glowed through the window of a building that James had never seen before "Ah you have awoken, It's a pleasure to finally speak with you!" James looked over to see a Digimon chuckling away at him "You were out for days, but from the distance you travelled that is no surprise, He thought he would bring you for your Dark power but he did not know that your Destiny was already written in stone... Literally!" The Digimon pointed to a wall that looked like it was covered in primitive cave paintings "Hey im not trying to be rude but who are you exactly?" James pushed himself up from the bed that he awoke on and looked directly at the Digimon "Oh in all the excitement I forgot to introduce myself, I am Jijimon and you are currently in the Digital Wo..." James jumped up in shock and looked out the window "THE DIGITAL WORLD!" Jijimon smiled as James' face lit up with happiness "Yes but im afraid to say it is not the one you think it is, you have been brought to a different reality entirely, the forces of Light brought you here..." James calmed himself down and sat on the bed, shaking with excitement and shock looking at Jijimon "Im not trying to be funny... Jijimon... But that thing that brought me here, he wasnt someone I would call "Light", I would call him crazed ghost but even that dont seem to fit him that well!" Jijimon nodded "You were brought he by a Dark being for evil purposes however it was meant to be, the forces of Light had decided this before you were even born, they decided you would be the Digidestined who would come to save this world..." James looked surprised "Er but im not a Digidestined... and what about that other kid?" Jijimon stopped smiling and looked serious "The boy is but a pawn in a game he does not realise, he is being used for Darkness played off his emotions... he is not evil, just lost within himself, he has a Darkness within that he has realised without even knowing it..." James nodded "Ok that doesnt make any sense, and you still havent noted that im not a Digidestined, Digidestined are people with Digivices and partners!" Jijimon smiled "Anything I say now you will not understand, in the future you will learn about everything that has happend and will understand but for now let us focus on what currently lays in our grasp..." James raised his eyebrow "You ever speak normally with yes, no or simple explanation answers?" Jijimon laughed "Yes but this is a truly amazing day but you will not understand that for a long time, as for you partner..." James began smiling "What am I getting one here?" Jijimon nodded his head as James jumped up again "When?" James began smiling once again "When you truly need him...".
