Digimon: The Lost Episodes
Episode 1:
Legendary Warrior
A boy with spiky brunette hair and blue eyes was walking through the Digital World with his partner, the tough and vengeful Cyberdramon. Everything was peaceful now, or at least for them.
No. It will never be peaceful for us. Millenniummon is now in Cyberdramon's body and because of that…we have to be careful.
He sighed and looked at his partner, who trudged on without saying anything. Ryo looked around the Digital World. He knew that the Digidestined had their own destiny waiting for them…and he had his as well.
But what is my destiny? To be nothing but a sidekick…a character who doesn't mean anything to anyone? No…I know there's much more. I just have to find it…
As the sun started to set in the Digital World, Ryo and his partner stopped to camp for the night. He built a small fire, caught some fish, and they had their supper. As they started to sleep, Ryo looked at his small digivice. It was like the Digidestineds' and he was glad to finally have a partner of his own.
Of course I'm glad. I can finally be like them. Hopefully I can control Cyberdramon…and when I learn to master that, then I'm sure things will look better for us.
He finally lay down and peacefully went to sleep under the moon and stars. As he slept, he started to dream of something. Something he couldn't figure out.
Ryo opened his eyes and looked around. He wasn't in the Digital World anymore…he was in Japan.
What happened? Where's Cyberdramon?
He looked at the buildings, unsure of what to do or where to go. As he kept looking around, he suddenly heard an explosion behind him. He turned and started to run that way, as the sounds got closer. He was almost there and could definitely tell that a battle was going on. Ryo kept going until he saw three kids a little younger than him. He stopped and looked at them. There were two boys and one girl. The shorter boy had brown hair with maroon eyes and adorned a pair of yellow and blue goggles on his head. The taller boy had blue hair with gray eyes and the girl had red hair with lavender eyes. Ryo also saw three digimon fighting another digimon, as he guessed they were the children's partners. He also saw a small white digimon behind them, who was watching the battle. He watched as the three kids took out their digivices and held them at an angle.
Those digivices are a lot different than mine…
Ryo was surprised when they each took out a card and swiped it through their digivices.
"Digi-Modify! Digivolution Activate!"
He watched as the small digimon's forehead glowed as the other three digimon digivolved.
"Guilmon digivolve to…Growlmon!"
"Renamon digivolve to…Kyyubimon!"
"Terriermon digivolve to…Gargomon!"
Once their digivolution was complete, the small white digimon's head stopped glowing.
"Go get 'em, Growlmon!" said the shorter boy.
Ryo watched with amazement as the three digimon attacked and quickly destroyed the digimon.
Amazing…
Time seemed to freeze as a deep voice called out to Ryo.
Remember these faces, Ryo Akiyama. They have not joined forces yet and have not become who they are…but in time they will. Know this…they are called the Digimon Tamers and will rid this world of evil.
"Tamers? …Who are you?" he asked aloud.
I am what you call a Digimon Soothsayer. I am showing you this Ryo because you must join forces with them. One of the guardians of their world has asked me to call to you.
"What kind of dimension is this?"
One where the Digidestined are nothing but a mere fairy tale. The cards you saw them swipe are called Modify Cards. Ryo, you must travel to this dimension to learn the rules of the Digimon Card Game so you can continue your adventure…and destiny. To prove you are the strongest, you must defeat everyone at a Digimon Tournament. Only then will you be able to continue your journey.
"I see. There are so many worlds…it's hard to define what is real anymore. How will I get here?"
In due time, my friend. I will open a portal to this world so you can travel to it. I have also created a family for you.
"All right. What about Cyberdramon?"
He will stay in the Digital World until you are ready.
Ryo squinted as he opened his eyes into the sun. He sat up and looked around to find Cyberdramon gone, which he figured he went to fight a digimon or get something to eat. As he rubbed his eyes to get the tiredness out, he wondered about his weird dream.
Was that even real?
He turned around suddenly as Cyberdramon flew into view and then landed beside Ryo, without saying anything. Sighing, he got up and started to head off with Cyberdramon loyally beside him. As they walked, Cyberdramon suddenly tensed up and started to growl.
"What is it?" he asked his friend.
"Something's here."
He said nothing more as he turned and went toward the direction where it was coming from. Ryo watched him quickly run from view.
"Cyberdramon…wait!" he shouted after him as he tried to run after him.
He finally caught up to him as his partner stared at a glowing light. Ryo looked at it. It was a beautiful white light with specks of different colors popping up everywhere. Unsure of what it was, Ryo went up to it and put his hand near it. He gasped as his hand started to fizz out of focus and suddenly jerked it back. He looked at it uncertainly and then remembered his dream.
Could this be…?
"Come on Cyberdramon. I think it's safe."
He took a deep breath and ran into the portal with his partner following behind him. Ryo yelled as he fell downwards, not knowing where he was going. He finally landed on brown soil as he hit. He got up and looked around him and saw that Cyberdramon was all right. Ryo looked up and saw a glowing sphere with jets of red beams coming down from them and behind them looked like…continents of Earth.
"Where are we?"
In the Digital World, my friend.
"Huh? …It's you again," Ryo said as he recognized the voice.
Yes. I will guide you to the Real World…but after that you're on your own.
"So this is this dimension's Digital World?"
Yes. The rules here though are stricter. Once a digimon dies, it cannot come back and digivolution is harder for them. They have not digivolved for years, so some have forgotten about it. It is also harder to get here and back to the Real World.
"I see. Well, I know Cyberdramon will be all right. I'm ready to go into this world's Earth."
Very well. These little guys will help you.
Ryo then saw some white little guys that were floating around and giggling, or that's what it sounded like to him. He turned to his partner and they looked at each other.
"I'll be back as soon as possible, Cyberdramon. I just have to take care of this…"
His partner nodded, showing that he understood. He didn't say anything as a bunch of the small giggling digimon lifted Ryo. Ryo found himself flying up into the air towards the Real World as he looked down to see a tiny speck of his partner. He closed his eyes as he braced for impact towards the world as he felt a cool wind brush against his face. Ryo opened his eyes to find himself in a park on Earth.
Shinjuku Park…wait! How did I know that? That soothsayer must've filled my mind with the information I needed to be in this dimension.
He got up and started to walk down the streets, looking into some of the stores with Digimon merchandise in it. As he wandered, he started to think of where to go.
Let's see here now. Family…family…wait! I live in…
He stopped in front of a house that looked fairly nice. He stepped inside as a man looked at him. He had a brown beard with brown hair and also had blue eyes.
Oh boy…
As days went on, he soon became adjusted to his new life. Luckily, the memories helped him out a lot so soon he knew the names of his family members, friends, and other things. Now it seemed everything was normal for him and he didn't have to search his mind anymore to recall anything. He had also bought the cards for the game and found out that some of his 'friends' played it as well. He learned the game and started finding better ways to play his cards. Soon, he was beating the best out of his friends.
"Sheesh Ryo. What do you do? Study the game night and day or something?" one of them asked.
He simply shrugged.
If only they knew…
Soon his friends didn't try to beat him and then the posters for the Card Game Tournament were starting to be seen. He signed up for it and hoped that he had worked hard enough to beat everyone there. A couple of months went past before the tournament finally took place. Ryo got the directions to where it was held and went there on the day of the tournament. As he entered the doors, his eyes widened at the amount of kids that came to compete.
This is going to be a long day…Episode 2:
The Tournament
As he went through the crowd, he got his number and who he would be competing in the first round. He looked at the long list of kids and thought that some of these kids could only be here to watch their friends battle it out. As they announced the time for the first round, everyone went to their seats and sat with their opponents. Ryo sat across an 11-year old boy with blonde hair who looked eager to win. As they announced for the round to begin, Ryo started to think about what to do. After a few cards, Ryo defeated his opponent and advanced to the next round. As the rounds went on, he discovered that a lot of these kids weren't hard to beat, so he tried to give them the idea he was actually struggling with them. In the end, of course, he defeated every single one of them.
This is easier than I thought…but I have to stay alert. The upper rounds will get harder than this.
As they advanced towards the final rounds, some were a lot tougher to beat but he handled it well. Soon, he was in the final round along with someone else. As he went to his seat to play the final round, he found out that his opponent was a girl. On the sheet, it said her name was Rika Nonaka. He stared at her as she stared at him back with her cold lavender eyes.
Where have I…?
He examined her closely trying to remember.
That's right! She's the one I saw…one of the ones that will be a tamer.
"Hey! Are you going to stare at me this whole time, or are we going to battle?" she said fiercely, pulling Ryo back to reality.
"Sorry."
He sat down as they started the final round. He quickly found out that she was good at this. Better than good. She was great! She laid out her cards and they were good moves as he was actually struggling. He decided not to go easy on her as he gave it all he had in his knowledge of the game. The round went on endlessly until he finally defeated her with a final Goliath card. Everyone cheered Ryo's victory as the girl named Rika stared at him with those cold eyes and slowly got up. Ryo was about to shake her hand and say how good she was, but she quickly walked off before he had a chance to. Deciding not to go after her, he went up onto the stage where he accepted the title 'Digimon King'. Everyone cheered his victory as he said a few words to them and then went on home.
That girl…Rika…she's one hard-core girl. Oh well. I shouldn't worry about it. I have other things to attend to.
As he entered his home and went to his room, he noticed that his computer was on. He went to it and saw a minimized box flashing on the bar. He clicked on it and up popped a white screen with a few words on it.
It's time to go.
Before he could respond, he was suddenly sucked into the portal on the computer, taking only his digivice and cards with him.
