Author's Notes: Approximately a few days after I post this, my pre-university freak out will begin...correction. It has already begun.

Ascension - V 1.6
'Travelling through dimensions is even crazier than riding on a roller coaster!!' The sensation that Taichi Yagami felt was the exact same sensation as any human would feel during freefall motion. The boy tried to relax but the ride was extremely intense. Finally, he felt fresh air upon him once more, which indicated that they had reached their destination. He didn't notice it since both he and Zero appeared right in the middle of the sky. "Aaaaaahhhhh!!!"
Moments later, two loud splashes could be heard as the two dropped into a large swimming pool. Taichi frantically swam up to the surface and gasped. He looked around to see several people staring at him in shock. "Taichi, are you alright?" Zero came up right behind his tamer. "Yeah. Let's get out of here..." The Digimon led the way to the change room with Taichi right behind him.
Taichi grimaced as his clothes clung to his soaking skin. "Man, I'm soaking wet!! I don't suppose...Zero, where did you get that?" Zero held up a sports bag which had a set of dry clothes and a towel. "You're wet so I grabbed these so that you can change into them. I think they should fit you since you're pretty scrawny. Why? Besides, you can't save the world looking wet and all." He dropped the sports bag before checking the change room door. Some people were approaching but a single glare from the champion Digimon made them think twice, especially with the Digimon incident still fresh in their minds.
The boy just wanted to strangle his Digimon right there but he had to remember that Zero had never been to the human world and he only knows what his tamer told him. He checked his Digivice and notebook. The Digivice was okay but the notebook was another matter. While Taichi changed into a simple white t-shirt and jeans, Zero used one of the mechanized dryers to try and salvage what was left of the notebook. After strapping his Digivice on his wrist and his goggles to his head, he gave Zero a look. "I suggest we leave before anything else happens."
They quickly made their way out of the change room and eventually made it on to the streets. After running for a minute to a more safe location, they gave a huge sigh. "That was a close call!!" Before the boy could agree with his partner Digimon, he heard a woman call out his name, or what sounded like his name except for the surname, in a strict manner. "Taichi Kamiya!!"
He stopped and slowly turned around to face the woman. "Just because you're still involved in this digital world business doesn't give you an excuse to lie to me about missing tofu night!!" She paused. "Who's your friend here?" Being the mother of a Digidestined helped made her feel more comfortable being around Digimon. Before Taichi could say anything, Zero took advantage of this opportunity. "I'm a friend of Taichi. We met in the digital world. I'm a Veedramon but you can call me Zero, which is short for Zeromaru. And you would be..."
The woman smiled. "I'm his mother!! It's so nice that you're here to support him through this tough time. Why don't you come to our house for dinner? I have no idea what type of food you prefer but I'll see what I can come up with." Zero gave a bright smile. "Thanks a lot, madam!!" Throughout the conversation, Taichi just stood there with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He didn't start moving towards Mrs. Kamiya's vehicle until Zero had to yank him from the spot where he was standing.
"That reminds me...what happened to you? Why are you in those clothes? Did something happen or something?" Zero quickly made up an excuse. "Taichi had a little accident and someone offered him some spare clothes." Mrs. Kamiya simply shrugged. "After I wash those clothes, you have to return them to whoever lent them to you in the first place." "Yes...mother," said Taichi in a weak voice.

"Ha ha!! With all these Digimon here, it's like a buffet!! Double Impact!!" Beelzemon fired off his shotguns and killed more Digimon as they continued to manifest themselves in the real world. Sure, it wasn't a challenge but data was data. And can any sensible Digimon say no to free data?
He hopped on Behemoth and flew down the streets, fueled only by adrenaline from the carnage and the mayhem that he had caused. 'What do we have here? An idiotic pedestrian...' In the middle of the street, a Digimon was carrying a pair of small children, one under each arm. Beelzemon leapt off of his motorcycle and performed his Darkness Claw attack as he flipped forward. Finally, he landed on his bike again and used the brakes so he could absorb the data.
The two children were dropped off to the sides as the Digimon burst into data. Beelzemon quickly uploaded the data before letting out a small satisfied sigh. "Now this is living!!" He noticed the two children that the Digimon had dropped. Upon closer inspection, he recognized them as his former partners, Ai and Mako. They were both unconscious, probably due to what had recently happened to them.
The darker side of him would have been thrilled to have such an opportunity present itself. 'Perfect!! Now you can blast them to kingdom come for being such brats to you when you first arrived!!' But a small part of him...to be more precise, the Impmon that had a fondness for them, even though they did act like brats for a while, started arguing. 'Hey, hey, hey!! They took care of you when you first came to this place!! Is this any way to repay them?'
He stood there, uncertain about anything. 'There's an easy way out...just leave them there. I don't owe those two anything.' But he didn't move. Sure, they might have been brats for a while but when they first met, life had been...pleasant. And interesting, seeing how hard the twins had to work to keep him a secret from their parents.
Inside the cold hearted demon lord Digimon, the simple Impmon remained. The Impmon who had entertained Ai and Mako with his 'magic' fireball act. And after the act, there was a warm feeling inside when the twins appluaded. "Wow!! That was so cool!! You're the coolest Digimon of all!!" "And you're so nice...a lot nicer than my brother!!"
Beelzemon finally made a decision. 'Damn...I'm getting soft.' He picked up the two children and started walking towards his motorcycle. After strapping the two of them down to his small passenger seat at the back, he fired up the motor. 'Alright...all I'm doing is dropping them off to a place that's safe and then I'm getting the hell out of here.'

"Now this may hurt a bit so try to be still." Rika hissed in pain as Renamon applied pressure to the wound with the herb. "That's an understatement. So how do you know all this stuff about herbs?" The fox Digimon waited patiently for the medicine to take effect. "During my time in the digital world, I've fought on my own so I had to learn how to treat my own wounds and identify which herbs could help in the healing process. And now you know why I stockpiled these herbs for the last few weeks."
"That's quite a story you guys have. It's got to be serious if these towers are worrying Azulongmon," stated Henry as he placed a bandage on a cut. The previous battle left him with a few minor injuries. TK crossed his arms. "He didn't tell us much about them except that it's a bad omen of things to come if towers are set up in your digital world and ours. We better find out what all this is about and fast."
"Whoa, wait a second here...so we gotta head to the digital world in order to find out about that tower and stop it or something?!? Just how are we gonna get there anyway?" asked Kenta. Cody took a sip of his bottled water. "We'll have to use the opening that Diaboromon created in the first place...assuming that Renamon is right and that is a gateway to your digital world."
Takato tried to remain focused on the discussion but he couldn't stop fidgeting. Then out of nowhere, Terriermon hops on to his head. "Hey, fearless leader!! What's up?" The boy glanced at the closed room where Renamon was tending to Rika's wounds. "Just a little worried about Rika, that's all. I never thought that we could all share the same pain. What would happen if you all died?"
"Momentai!! That just means we gotta be more careful when we fight!! We won't let anything bad happen to you guys so don't sweat it! And don't worry about your girlfriend!! She's not going to get herself killed or anything! Besides, other than losing her virginity to you, she probably has to fulfill a few fantasies as well. With her personality, I would assume she would like to dominate-" The statement earned the vaccine rookie a swift hit on the head. "Zip it, rabbit."
Takato gave a warm smile as Terriermon moved away. "How are you holding up, Rika?" There was some dried blood on her arms but other than that, she looked fine. "I'm well enough to find out what's going on. Care to fill me in?" While the boy quickly explained the situation, the others had already begun planning.
"If the Digidestined are going to the digital world, then I'm tagging along!! Since it's Guardromon's home and all, I've got to help defend it!" Kazu stood up with a firm look on his face. Kenta also rose from his seat. "I've got to go along as well!! Besides, Henry, Takato, Rika and Suzie have more experience dealing with the Digimon so they should stay here and stop whatever bad things come out of those rifts!!"
"You're right. The other tamers have more experience in dealing with Digimon and being a tamer in general. So we'll need them to come with us," said Yolei. Before the boys could argue, Henry spoke up. "Actually, Suzie should stay here. The digital world is extremely hazardous so I don't want her to be there. You two can look after her and help defend the city from dangerous beings coming from other quantum planes." "Henwy!! No fair!!"
"Suzie, this isn't open for discussion. That reminds me...how are you guys going to get home after all this has resolved?" Davis was about to say something but he closed his mouth. Ken gave a sigh. "Um...we haven't completely figured that out yet. We were thinking we could get home like last time but the Omega Sword is back in our world where it's being used to help Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon try to recompile themselves into their basic forms."
"There is a way that you can get home." All eyes turned to Lopmon who leapt out of Suzie's arms and on to the table. "I remember that the Digimon Sovereigns each have a personal gateway to cross over to other realms. We've seen the evidence when you explained that Azulongmon transported you here. So now we've got to go talk to Zhuqiaomon when all this has finished. I don't think you'll have much luck since he has a grudge against humans and tamed Digimon."
"You seem to know quite a bit. Can you help us?" asked Kari. Lopmon gave a sigh. "I don't really know. Although I was one of his Devas, my credibility would go down the drain now that I have a tamer. Perhaps I can request a formal tribunal...that's it!! Since this situation involves others from outside his realm, the other Sovereigns have a say. So they can overrule him if necessary! I'll still need to present my case and in case things get out of hand, I'll probably need Suzie to help me digivolve."
"Wait!! She gets to go and we don't?!? Where's the justice in that?!? We're a team and we've all got to stick together!!!" Before Kenta could continue ranting, Kari approached him. "We really need for you and Kazu to stay here and keep the peace while everyone's gone. Can you do that for us? I would really appreciate it."
"I...oh...why not? Fine, I'll stay here...but you guys owe me!! But you're depriving yourself of a mega Digimon right here!!" Kenta held MarineAngemon in the palm of his hand. Kazu groaned. "I shouldn't be surprised...after all, Kenta did think she was cute on the show. He's hopeless." Another voice came out of nowhere. "Absolutely hopeless!!"
Kazu glared at Guardromon. "Stop imitating me, you big lugnut!! So that settles it. Everyone but me and Kenta is heading to the digital world...it's going to be kind of boring around here." Takato came up from behind his friend. "Trust me, Kazu. Keeping the peace will be anything but boring."
The group quickly exited the building and headed out to the area where Diaboromon had opened the gateway but there were several scientists and guards around the sparkling rift. "Alright. We'll run interference while you make a break for the portal. Ready, Guardromon?" "I'm ready to go!!" Kazu and Kenta took deep breaths before running out and yelling nonsense. And with their Digimon right beside them, the guards and scientists took notice.
"Get them!! I want them alive!!" The guards gave chase and loaded up some tranquilizer guns. "Guardian Barrage!!!" Guardromon fired his missiles at a precise area where it would create a partial smokescreen. Kazu and Kenta quickly hopped on the champion Digimon. "Okay, Guardromon!! Make like a bird!!" The boys held on as Guardromon took off into the air.
"Team Epsilon to base!! Two new children have been spotted and they have Digimon with them, sir!!" Before the guard could listen for Yamaki's instructions, he heard the surprised yelps of some of the other guards. When he turned around to look, he felt someone hit him hard in the stomach. It wasn't a lethal blow but it was enough to knock the wind out of him. He dropped his communicator. "I want them brought in immediately!! Is that clear, commander?!?" Renamon quickly crushed the communicator.
Davis held out his D3. "Okay, now while everyone's distracted...Digi Port open!!" Nothing happened. Rika snorted. "You moron...this isn't like your world where you can just call up a portal!! Renamon, how do we get in?" The other Digimon had quickly disabled the guards and rounded up all the scientists into a more confined area of the site. Before she could give an answer, a mysterious fog rolled in. The next thing they knew, they were enveloped in it before all of reality exploded.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Commander Shigeru, come in!! Dammit!!! Riley, have Team Gamma report to Team Epsilon's previous position and find out what the hell happened!!" Yamaki focused his attention to Janyu Wong. "So you've come to your senses? Good. Right now, we need all the help we can get to fight this battle." The other man just gave an icy glare. "If I help you to resolve this, then you've got to let all of the children go."
'I suppose a minor compromise is acceptable. I can figure out how to deal with the children later.' "Very well, Mr. Wong. If you'll follow me, I'll show you the lab and introduce you to your co-workers. I'm sure you'll recognize them right away." Janyu wasn't sure what Yamaki meant until he entered the lab. Right in front of him were his old colleagues from the Monster Makers except for Shibumi.
Yamaki looked around the laboratory. "It took us a while to figure out who worked on the Digimon project but eventually we were able to find the key files from your former sponsor's records. As for Shibumi, we still haven't found him. Still, your combined programming talent should suffice to create a countermeasure for these digital anomalies that keep popping up. I'll check back here in a few hours and by then, I want to see some possible solutions. Understood?" Janyu nodded grimly.
With his expectations delivered, Yamaki turned around and left the laboratory. One of the men gave a heavy sigh as he ran a hand through his red hair. "Who would have thought that our project would cause so much trouble?" Janyu took a seat near his new workstation. "It was only supposed to be a game, Dolphin. Now humanity's future depends on how this game ends."
Sorry for the long wait. But reading six Discworld novels, all of them 250+ pages long, takes a lot of time. It's still good literature. Philosophy, science fiction and fantasy blended with humour. Just as a lot of cool things come from Japan (unique delicacies, video games, manga, anime), there are plenty of cool things from England like Discworld, Robot Wars, Red Dwarf and Harry Potter. Anyways, I've decided to write something separate for the Digimon World 3 characters from 'Hacker's Net' and no, they won't cross over into 'Ascension'. Not yet anyways. I've been doing some reading about the other Digimon World games and they don't make a lot of sense. At least I have a few more ideas about my little thing. I have no idea how long this other story is going to be or when I'll get it out. I've also found out something weird about the Digimon card game...they only use 30 card decks. I mean I can deal with 40 card decks like in certain tournament formats of Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! but 30 cards?!?!? That's insane!! And when I tried to follow the rules of game play...I kind of got lost. It's seriously wacky how the game play goes. Is this my last attempt at understanding the Digimon Trading Card Game?
The smeg it is.

Ascension - V 1.6

He looked around to see several people staring at him in shock. "Taichi, are you alright?" Zero came up right behind his tamer. "Yeah. Let's get out of here..." The Digimon led the way to the change room with Taichi right behind him.
Taichi grimaced as his clothes clung to his soaking skin. "Man, I'm soaking wet!! I don't suppose...Zero, where did you get that?" Zero held up a sports bag which had a set of dry clothes and a towel. "You're wet so I grabbed these so that you can change into them. I think they should fit you since you're pretty scrawny. Why? Besides, you can't save the world looking wet and all." He dropped the sports bag before checking the change room door.

"After I wash those clothes, you have to return them to whoever lent them to you in the first place." "Yes...mother," said Taichi in a weak voice.

With his expectations delivered, Yamaki turned around and left the laboratory. One of the men gave a heavy sigh as he ran a hand through his red hair. "Who would have thought that our project would cause so much trouble?" Janyu took a seat near his new workstation. "It was only supposed to be a game, Dolphin. Now humanity's future depends on how this game ends."
Sorry for the long wait. But reading six Discworld novels, all of them 250+ pages long, takes a lot of time. It's still good literature. Philosophy, science fiction and fantasy blended with humour. Just as a lot of cool things come from Japan (unique delicacies, video games, manga, anime), there are plenty of cool things from England like Discworld, Robot Wars, Red Dwarf and Harry Potter. Anyways, I've decided to write something separate for the Digimon World 3 characters from 'Hacker's Net' and no, they won't cross over into 'Ascension'. Not yet anyways. I've been doing some reading about the other Digimon World games and they don't make a lot of sense. At least I have a few more ideas about my little thing. I have no idea how long this other story is going to be or when I'll get it out. I've also found out something weird about the Digimon card game...they only use 30 card decks. I mean I can deal with 40 card decks like in certain tournament formats of Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! but 30 cards?!?!? That's insane!! And when I tried to follow the rules of game play...I kind of got lost. It's seriously wacky how the game play goes. Is this my last attempt at understanding the Digimon Trading Card Game?
The smeg it is.
