, Neb: Brother and sister separated, lost in a strange new world. I do not own Digimon.

Kanji stared at his hand that the gauntlet vanished from. He had a dragon tattoo across his palm and on the back of his hand was the golden colored gemstone. "Natsuko... NATSUKO!" He heard a roar come from outside his blue shaded house. Kanji grabbed his dad's key and tied it around his neck. Everything inside the house was different then what it use to be, but the key remained the same color and shape. He walked outside and saw a jungle. Kanji began looking around, he had no idea where he was, but he knew one thing, he had to find his sister. Kanji started running through the jungle untile he tripped over an egg. "W-what is this," he grunted. Kanji heard the roar again, and it was coming closer. He grabbed the egg and started sprinting.

The roar was getting closer and closer and Kanji felt his arm burn again as it held onto the egg. "AAHhhhhhhhhhh," Kanji screamed as the egg was imprinted with the tattoo mark on his palm. The creature emerged from the woods and Kanji turned his head to see a red lion man charging at him. Kanji screamed as he ran through the woods. He could hear the gem on his hand make fuzzy noises until it started to talk.

Red Leomon, Champion Level Digimon, watch out for his deadly flame claws.

"Y-you can talk, where am I how do I stop this thing!"

Leomon requires a stronger predator to take it down, though regular Leomon is more honorable, don't expect honor from Red Leomon. You are in the digital world if you wish for safety, call forth the creature from the egg as your guardian, warning, once the Digimon has hatched you can only call a new partner after the Digimon has been eliminated.

"Kind of like a video game huh, in Samurai Ranger, I could only choose a single animal in the forest to be my partner, so it's kind of like that. Well fine, hatch this egg for me!" The egg glowed sending a bright light around him. From within it, a red reptilian face emerged from it. The element of fire has been chosen, this Digimon will now digivolve. The red reptilian head opened it's eyes and grunted before glowing once more and growing slightly larger.

"Toothmon digivolves to... Dragomon!" The small head had become a draconic looking creature with small wings and sharp teeth. Its scales were red and white just like the type of clothing Kanji wears. The creature carried a katana on it's back that's hilt was covered in red scales. Dragomon looked over at Red Leomon who's claws lit with orange flames.

"Rage Claw," the lion Digimon yelled as it fired two burning waves at them.

"Single Strike, Hidden Tail," Dragomon growled as he released a wave of crimson fire from his blade countering the enemies attack and redirecting damage to him. The Red Leomon roared in anger and charged at Dragomon who retaliated with ranged attacks while keeping its distance. Dragomon may have a weapon, but as far as melee combat would go, Red Leomon was much bigger and stronger.

"W-why is my partner small," Kanji wondered.

All Digimon start off small, Dragomon, in particular, is a mutated Digimon thanks to the code you added with your gauntlet. Though your desire to be a samurai strengthened him, he still is no match for Red Leomon at close range.

"I will protect you, partner," Dragomon grunted as Red Leomon almost closed in on him. Luckily Dragomon was much faster despite his opponent being a champion level Digimon. Dragomon got up on a tree and then jumped off using gravity to pull it down.

"Single Strike, Hidden Tail!" The fire burned on the katana once more as he cut clean through his opponent. Red Leomon transformed to an egg and vanished directly afterward.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Looks like I'm not alone," a young girl with dark skin, green and brown camouflage shorts and a brown t-shirt grinned. Her hair was black and tied back and her eyes were green. A black snake slithered around her like jewelry. "He's too new to fight properly, but his partner is powerful enough to test my Digimon's power!" The girl had a snake tattoo wrapped around the purple gem on her forehead that glowed as the sun hit it.
