Protectors of the Digital World
Chapter 2
"You are in the Digital World," said a voice behind the four confused teens, "and you are not welcome."
Andy, Katie, and Runi slowly turned around, fearing what they would see, as well they should. What they saw was a small creature wearing a cloak. It had horns, glowing eyes, clawed feet, and a tail.
"JacobwakeupJacobwakeup!" whispered Andy while slapping him as he slowly came to.
"Where are...AAAAAHHHHH!" yelled Jacob as he saw the small creature pull out a small sword made of bundled up wood.
"All hail Ebemon!" it said. "THUNDER KOTE!"
The sword started glowing and crackling with lightning. The kids tried jumping out of the bush, but they couldn't get out before a giant bolt of lightning shot out at them.
"BUBBLE BLOW!" Yelled multiple squeaky voices. A big group of bubbles went flying at the lightning and stopped it in its tracks.
The four kids looked over at the source of the bubbles and saw four even smaller creatures. One was a blue ball with a very small tail, one was a maroon ball with 3 bumps, one looked like an upside-down teardrop with small fins and big ears, and the other one was a small puff of smoke with a candle on its head.
"RRRR!" growled the cloaked creature, "THUNDER KOTE, THUNDER KOTE!" it yelled, shooting lightning bolts at all four small creatures.
"SOAP BUBBLES!" yelled the teardrop.
"SMOKEY BLOW!" yelled the smokey guy.
They both shot bubbles and smoke out of their mouths which stopped the lightning again.
"RRRRR! HOTHEAD!" Screamed the cloaked thing. It's eyes started glowing red, then it shot fire out of them.
"Oh no!" squeaked the red ball.
"Takyoku Kanji!" yelled a booming voice. The whole world suddenly shone blinding white. When the glow was gone, so was the fire and the cloaked creature was running away.
Terrified of that huge voice, the four kids turned back around and saw a giant yellow dragon towering over them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" they all yelled. They all tried scrambling out of the bush when the dragon spoke again, this time his voice calming and almost hypnotic.
"Fear not, young ones. I will not harm you. I am Huanlongmon, and I rule the Digital World," he said with the four small creatures on his back.
"Well," said Andy, "as long as you're not going to eat us, could you tell us what the crap is going on!"
"Gladly," said Huanlongmon, "This is the Digital World, a world that exists in all computers, but can only be accessed if a portal is opened from this side. It is inhabited by us Digimon, constructs of various computer programs. You are here because the Monitor has deemed you worthy to face our gravest challenge. The Monitor is what me and my advisors use to view all humans using their computers. Four of my advisors are very loyal, but the fifth is the reason you are here. Ebemon is the smartest Digimon ever, and when he decided I wasn't fit to rule, he deemed it necessary to usurp the throne and take the Digital World for himself. He has many followers, including that Kotemon you just encountered. You are here to stop Ebemon."
"Wait a second, wait a second," interrupted Andy. "How are we supposed to defeat your advisor if his lackey almost handed us our butts on a platter?"
"With them," said Huanlongmon. He gestured towards the four balls. They were obviously bored by the conversation and were now piling themselves on top of each other, falling over, and laughing.
Jacob raised an eyebrow. "Rrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiight."
"Psssst," whispered Huanlongmon, "You're on."
"Oh, right," said the blue ball.
"These four will be going with you on your quest to find and stop Ebemon. Chibomon, you will go with Andrew," the blue ball went to Andy, "Punimon will go with Jacob," the red ball hopped to Jacob, "Katherine will get Pichimon," the teardrop went to her, "and Runihura will be partners with Mokumon." The puff of smoke floated over to Runi. "Oh, and these are your D-Scribes." A PDA-looking device appeared in front of each kid. "These will allow you Digimon to Digivolve into stronger forms. They also allow any power of any Digimon your partner assimilates be transferred to their Baby, their current form, and their In-Training form, as well as identify any Digimon you come across, telling you their name and powers. Now that your ready, I suggest you get yourselves out of this bush and head 3 miles north to the Monitor. It may be a nice place to search for clues. Enjoy your stay in the Digital World," and he walked away.
The four kids, bewildered and shaken, got out of the bush and stood there in silence, looking at the horizon of the Digital World.
