Disclaimer: Digimon is property of Toei and blah blah blah...
In the beginning, before the Digital World, there was only a storm of nothingness. This emptiness clotted into the form of a serpent, Ophionmon, sightless for there was naught to see. He slithered among the vast rubble of space, and in his wake the nothingness transformed into Chaos. Unaware of this, Ophionmon continued his blind search, searching for something which was not there. The rage of his blind search moved invisibly like a wind. The searing winds blew so hotly that in the infinite darkness, there was a light, and the icy cold depths were set aflame.
A startled light rose from the wastes of Chaos, and from this flame was born Eurynomon, the all-mother, the moon-goddess. She danced across the edge of nothingness, the path of her dancing becoming the margins of the sea and the sky. Finding what he was looking for, Ophionmon pursued her, his coils becoming the West, North, South, and East Winds. Enclosed by these coils, Eurynomon transformed herself into a white bird and flew away. She nestled in the sky and laid a clutch of silver eggs... which were the sun, the stars, and the orb which became the Digital World.
This lush planet was cultivated of earth, from which sprang the trees and water which would sustain the life forms inhabiting this new world, the Digimon. Peculiar creatures, the Digimon were hatched from eggs, much like their mother planet had been, and were content and at ease with each other. But soon, as they became more inquisitive of their world, they began to evolve into more powerful beings, and soon the Digital World was plagued with war.
Eurynomon witnessed this, being the loving mother of all, and knew that this disorder was of the will of Ophionmon. Seeking to bring order to her world, and save her precious children, she sought out the serpent. In a fierce battle, she was able to succeed in separating his soul from his body at the cost of her own power. Though her body was destroyed and her strength near exhausted, Eurynomon divided her spirit into the three moons of the Digital World. Awaiting the time when her power would regain and she could defeat Ophionmon once and for all.
Despite Eurynomon's efforts, chaos still reigned in the Digital World. Lucemon, a Fallen Angel Digimon, sought to bring peace, but soon was corrupted into letting chaos become the true nature of the world. Eurynomon, watching from above, recognized the violent beliefs of Ophionmon immediately, and helplessly watched her little ones slaughter each other....
Then, ten warriors appeared, the incarnations of the elements that created and formed the basis of all life.
Darkness, which had cloaked the nothingness.
Light, born of the nothingness.
Fire, the spark that began life.
Wind, which blew the breath into the beginning of life.
Thunder, which had raged in the nothingness.
Ice, the chill that was felt in the nothingness.
Earth, which upheld life.
Water, the liquid that held and sustained life.
Wood, the purifier of life.
Metal, born of the world itself.
Manifested in the forms of ten powerful Digimon, they overpowered and defeated Lucemon, who was condemned to imprisonment within the core of the Digital World, and thus were dubbed the Legendary Warriors.
Eurynomon was overjoyed with the accomplishment of the Legendary Warriors, but soon grew concerned. With no form of order, chaos was sure to erupt again. With the last of her strength, she sent an angel from each of the moons, with whom she trusted to govern the order of the Digital World; Seraphimon, Opanimon, and Cherubimon.
It was not long when Cherubimon, lord of the beast Digimon and the only one of the three angels to possess beast rather than human qualities, began to let his thoughts betray him. He began to think that the beast Digimon were discriminated against compared to the revered human Digimon. He also believed that chaos was the true form of the Digital World. He was corrupted by evil, and convinced the beast Digimon to revolt against the human Digimon. Thinking Seraphimon was the one plotting against him, Cherubimon separated and imprisoned his soul and body, and held Ophanimon captive in a cage of light.
The utter destruction of the Digital World seemed inevitable.
Refusing to stand by and let her world be demolished, Ophanimon desparately called out to the world that existed parallel to her own. The planet, Earth, the home of the very species whose essence made up the Digimon that Cherubimon loathed.
She called out to the humans. Seeking the purest hearts, she called to the children of Tokyo, Japan. Many crossed over into the alien world, but only five children, whse hearts were strong and pure, were chosen to become the ones to wield the spirits of five of the Legendary Warriors.
Passionate and earnest Kanbara Takuya, Warrior of Fire.
Strong and silent Minamoto Kouji, Warrior of Light.
Powerful and dependable Shibayama Junpei, Warrior of Thunder.
Lithe and loving Orimoto Izumi, Warrior of Wind.
Light-hearted and innocent Himi Tomoki, Warrior of Ice.
Chosen to defend and save the Digital World, these five brave souls had more than their share of hardships. Cherubimon was not one to be intimidated, and he possessed the spirits of the other half of the Legendary Warriors. He created new Digimon to possess the spirits of Water, Wood, Earth and Metal. But for the most powerful spirit he held, he chose a lost soul which had wandered into his world, who happened to be the elder twin of the Warrior of Light.
Kimura Kouichi became the Warrior of Darkness.
Through many trials that tested the strength of their courage and friendship, the five warriors chosen by Ophanimon succeeded in freeing Kouichi and releasing the true spirits of Darkness, and ultimately purified the deceived soul of Cherubimon.
But they knew their battle wasn't over yet, as they soon had to face the threat of the Royal Knights, once valiant heroes of the Digital World, who were now servants of Lucemon. Despite the warriors attempts at stopping their mad quest, Crusadermon and Dynastmon succeeded in draining all of the data of the Digital World, the vast amount of information enough to release Lucemon from his prison.
Lucemon easily overpowered the warriors, though at the sacrifice of the Warrior of Darkness, Fire and Light were able to combine their powers and form a new warrior powerful enough to defeat the Fallen Angel. However, they had only succeeded in destroying his physical form.
A small amount of the monstrous power of chaos was held in Lucemon, and when his body was destroyed that power formed into an egg from which sprouted a dragon. This dragon was able to cross into the realm of the humans, in an attempt to control their world.
The warriors triumphed in the end, combining their hearts and destroying the dragon and its heart, restoring the Digital World and returning to their own. With a new found faith in themselves and each other, they continued on with a new outlook on life.
But...
Just as the human world revolves around a cycle of war, peace and revolution, such does the Digital World follow a certain rule. Balanced on a scale, teetering between tranquility and chaos. But a single grain of rice can tip that scale.
Chaos is a sea, where the slightest disturbance can ripple the surface. Something has caused the rage of Chaos to well up again. This time, rather then let another drive the world into ruin, a new force has risen to stop this catastrophe, by any means necessary.
Stirred from a deep rest, a quiet seething rage barely contained...
A force that is neither loved nor hated. A force that does not love nor hate. It simply is, existing only to keep the balance.
The warriors must be summoned again, to battle the manifestation of nothingness.
And this time, the survival of both the Digital World and Earth may not be guaranteed...
For it began with Chaos, and will end with Chaos. Only Fate will determine how soon this will happen....
