Now that I'm on my summer break I have time to continue the story, hopefully there are still people to read it
The Fifth Digidestined
Hi, my name is Jake, I'm 16 years old and a digimon trainer. That's all you really know of me right now isn't it? Don't worry… there's lots more.
I wasn't even a year old when that whole war between the digi-destined and digi-destroyers broke out so I have no clue what life was like before the fighting began. I grew up in a mansion on a military base with my dad, Etemon and Ravenmon. Etemon was my dad's partner digimon just like Ravenmon was mine. I never met my mom and my dad never really spoke of her. I did learn from Etemon that she didn't agree with my dad's opinion on the war and left right after the fighting began. I was so mad at her for being a traitor and defecting to the enemy.
I led a really secluded life growing up. My dad wouldn't let me go to a regular school so instead I went to the military base with him everyday. I was taught by a private tutor at the base and never allowed to visit any of the nearby towns. When I was six I started asking my dad why I wasn't allowed to go outside the base. Every time I asked, I received the same response… that it was just too dangerous. I never much liked the response he gave me but always accepted it because he was my dad. Then when I was twelve, my dad told me he and Etemon were leaving on a very special mission. He said that this mission was the best chance to win the war and defeat our enemies. That day, my dad, Etemon and most of the base left. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months and still no word from my dad. I stayed in the mansion with the few military officials that remained for about a year, hoping that my dad would be back. He never returned… but somebody else did.
I was asleep when the first radio call came in. A massive force of the enemies' digimon were attacking the base and our forces were loosing ground. The call came in to evacuate the mansion but it came in too late. The door was broken down by a Gorillamon and within seconds we were all surrounded. Everybody in the mansion reluctantly surrendered and we were all taken to a containment center somewhere upstate. It was there that Ravenmon and I finally met her, the woman behind the attack. It was there that we finally met my mom. I was so angry at her… she abandoned me when I was just a baby and then she removed me from the only home I ever knew. I had so many questions that I wanted to ask her but before I could begin, she told me to follow her. The three of us went into a quiet room and she told me to sit down. It was in that room that everything changed. Etemon was right when he told me my mom was a traitor. He was right when he told me that she left because of the war… but before that day I never thought that she was right to leave. My dad, the officers at the base and everyone that I had ever known were all digi-destroyers. My mom left my dad because she found out that he was one of digi-destroyers. If that wasn't bad enough, he was also involved with the initial attack that on the digi-destined. She couldn't believe that somebody she loved would do that… to her friends, her partners, her team. My dad told her that he spared her life because he loved her. My mom left the first chance she got to enlist and fight against digi-destroyers. She did this under a fake name so nobody would know of her past though, she would never be trusted if they knew who her ex-husband was. My mom left to make the world a better place while my dad continued to destroy it.
Ravenmon and I were then led to a small room covered in papers and maps. They were all of the mansion that I grew up in and the surrounding area. The papers and books outlined hundreds and hundreds of strategies to break into the mansion. Apparently they were all plans to break in and rescue me but the area was just too heavily guarded. She couldn't even take me when she escaped because even my room was guarded nightly by Etemon. That wasn't the only secret that she had to show me as she left with me to her house. She opened the door and introduced me to Eric, my little brother. Another reason why my mom left was because she didn't want my dad to know she was pregnant. Not after what he did to the other digi-destined and their children.
Life was pretty good while living with my mom and Eric. We got to travel the world, cleaning up the mess that my dad and people like him created. I had never seen such beautiful places before, growing up on a rocky military base. Everything was peaceful until two years ago. Eric and I were awoken by our mom in the middle of the night. The expression on her face told us that something bad was coming. The ground then began to shake as music filled the air. It was Etemon and my dad slowly heading towards the house. Mom told Me, Ravenmon, Eric and his digimon partner Guilmon to run while she dealt with our dad. From my window I saw her and her partner digimon leave the house, giving us time to escape through the back. I grabbed Eric and the four of us headed towards the back door. Ravenmon and I made it outside but when we turned around, the house was ensnared in a purple bubble laced with black wires. It was Etemon's 'Dark Network' attack. Eric told us to run and get help, so Ravenmon and I ran away from the house. By the time we help arrived it was too late. My mom and her partner digimon were gone and the rest were missing. I hated my dad more than ever and in my eyes… The only family I had left was Ravenmon. We left this world in search of a better one and eventually arrived in the digital world.
