Digimon Adventure 03: Magic, Mutation, and Beyond
Opening notes: Okay here is a bit of conflict. Not in the fic timeline, but in I guess Peter's personality. Peter wants Jake and his friends to stay in Never Land where they won't grow up. But because of a magical jewel he has them leave. Please keep in mind, Peter is the Guardian of Never Land. So, as Guardian he knows all about the magical items of different worlds. The crystal he sends Jake, Izzy, Cubby, Celeste, and Skully away to protect is an important thing that in Arc 2 starts the search for the magical artifacts that belong to the Cyber Knights, the Paladins, and the kids. It's one of the Moon Crystals that belongs to one of the other Moon Princesses. Which one will be fairly obvious. But for reference here are the names of the Princesses and their Crystals:
Princess Serenity: Silver Moon Crystal
Princess Katerina: Eclipse Moon Crystal
Princess Andromeda: Shadow Moon Crystal
Princess Mahina: Cosmic Moon Crystal
Princess Rhiannon: Blue Moon Crystal
Princess Miakoda: Equinox Moon Crystal
Princess Kamaria: Dawn Moon Crystal
Princess Celina: Dusk Moon Crystal
Princess Adrianna(Not a sibling but a cousin): Stardust Crystal
So that's the list. Demiyah is already in possession of her Crystal and Adrianna's is hidden in Digiworld. Which leaves the others. Further more, the Beyblade system has point counters to upgrade a persons bey and check into a WBBA outpost for a night or two. Meals would be included. But most pros don't use them. Often anyhow. The G-Revs do in case they can't find a decent place before a match out of town. The 'Dark Shadows' is a term for the main bad guys of Arc 2 who are intergalactic black market treasure hunters. Kind of like Divatox except less puns and jokes. Most of the time. The Dark Shadows are in a brief part of the ending of this chapter.

Recap(Shiro): "Hello everyone. It's Shiro the Black Paladin. Last time, there were a group of strange digimon responsible for causing unusual situations around Odaibah. Even both Connor and Greg were roped into it a bit. We also met a little boy named Jake who I have to admit looks a lot like Kim and Tommy. But Jake's seen as Demiyah's adoptive brother. He came to stay for a few days and enjoyed the visit. He even admitted he wanted to stay. But he put his duty over his heart. What's going to happen this time? Stay tuned and find out!"
Chapter 10: Pirate Kids, Beyblades, and Dark Shadows!:
Peter flew with a worried look on his face. Jake was panting alongside Izzy, Cubby, Celeste, and Skully. Jake, after Peter told him what to do asked, "Why are you sending us away Peter? We did everything you asked us to. We always worked hard to defeat Captain Hook and Doctor Undergear." Jake looked like he wanted to cry. But Peter sighed and said, "Jake, I'm not mad at you. I need you five to do this for me. If Captain Hook or Kindgom Hearts forbid, Xehanort got his hands on that crystal it could destroy Never Land." Jake asked, "What do you mean it could destroy Never Land?" Peter revealed a gold key on a chain around his neck, "Just like the Mystic Islands, Never Land has a chosen Guardian*. When I was left for dead by the matron of the orphanage I lived at as a regular kid, this key appeared to me in a bright light. It took me to the Star of Life* where it's protector Arianne* told me I was the chosen Guardian of Never Land. She gave me all of the knowledge I would need as the new Guardian.* Including the names of several powerful magical artifacts and what they looked like. That crystal is the Eclipse Moon Crystal. It's owner is Princess Katerina of the Moon. She died but was reborn on Earth. If her Crystal is active again so is she. I need you kids to take the Crystal away and protect it. Me and the Lost Boys can handle Hook and Undergear. But you have to protect that crystal. You understand?" Jake nodded as he accepted the satchel which held something for Demiyah along with the letter explaining. Before taking his bag and running through the portal with his mateys.
In Odaibah, Demiyah was walking to get her bike after school when she saw the portal open. Jake, Izzy, Cubby, Celeste, and Skully tumbled out of it. Demiyah knelt down to check on the kids. Connor and the others saw Jake and his friends. Keith asked, "What are they doing here?" Jake groaned and saw Demiyah. He handed her the letter Peter handed him and as she read it, her grip on the seven year old pirate tightened. Shiro asked, "So what's up?" Demiyah replied, "Jake and his crew found a magical jewel. Hook tried to get it and Peter said in the letter it's power is very dangerous if left in Never Land. So he sent Jake and his mateys here in order to protect it." Kim asked, "For how long?" Jake replied upset, "Peter didn't say. So I don't know." Tommy said, "So we'll take you in Jake. At least until you can go back to Never Land again. You'd have to use our last name and go to school in the same grade as Connor, Amaya, Greg, and Rachel. But I promise, we'll take good care of you." Jake cried but he was happy. It felt like he had a real home and a family* for once. But he also felt being held like he was by Demiyah was familiar* but he couldn't figure out why. Shiro said, "I would be glad to take in Izzy while she's here." Kyren*, Keith's uncle on his mom's side said, "I'll take in Cubby."
The next day, Jake, Izzy, and Cubby were at Dana's office with their host parents getting their school check-ups. Izzy and Cubby were scared, but Jake wasn't afraid. He got a check-up here before. After the check-ups were done, the kids met their teacher TJ Johnson who was very nice to them. Izzy and Cubby were a bit distrustful of him*, but Jake knew him from Demiyah.* Jake asked Demiyah when they left the school, "Big sis, why are some of the kids who stay at the school scared to leave?" Demiyah blinked before replying, "Jake, some of them have features that are, difficult to hide. Their seen as wierd and freaks by others. Some people even call them monsters." Jake said, "But their not!" Demiyah smiled, "You know that and I know that. But you have to remember, humans fear what they don't understand. People don't understand a lot of things and that makes them very...stubborn on their opinions. Kids don't make their opinions often by themselves. Their taught by their parents or guardians. Take for example my parents. Their parents raised them to be kind and caring individuals while also being positive role models for society. My parents learned from their surrogate father, that light isn't always good and darkness isn't always evil. They also learned from their experiences there is good and bad everywhere and in everyone. It boils down to something called Nature versus Nurture."
Jake asked, "What's that mean?" Connor, Greg, Amaya, Rachel, Izzy, and Cubby were sitting by them listening to what Demiyah was saying. The rest of the gang was close by listening as well. "Let's see. Nature means learning along the road and making choices for yourself. Like how Peter takes care of himself and how the Lost Boys are. Just like you, Izzy, and Cubby are. Nurture means how ones parents raise them or how someone grows up in their circumstances. I grew up with no clue of my birth parents until a couple weeks ago. I also grew up learning a person is a person no matter how they look, where their from, what they like, and the circumstances of their birth. It's our actions not our abilities that define who we are.*" Jake asked, "So if someone didn't like certain people, they would raise their kids to think like that too?" Demiyah replied, "They sure would. But it boils down to what a person believes in their heart. If they are just repeating what their parents taught them without actually believing it, then it's most likely a case of being a metaphorical puppet. Dancing to their parent's opinion tune. Or talking as the case would be."
Two days later, Demiyah met the kids outside their classroom and told them, "We're going on a special trip this Saturday. So we have to be at the train station really early in the morning." Rachel asked, "Where are we going?" Demiyah replied, "Bey City. We heard there was another Thundercat descendant there."
That weekend, the whole gang went with Demiyah to Bey City. Lance led the Paladins to look on the south end of the city. James took the Next Avengers to look in the west side of the city. Aqua led the Keyblade wielders save for Demiyah to look on the east side of the city. Demiyah led Ken and the kids through the north side of the city. Each one of them had a communicator watch. It functioned like a normal watch but also kept them connected to each other.
Jake was lifted up by Demiyah so he could look at a display in a store window. A boy with blue hair and brown eyes said, "Are you guys new in town?" Demiyah turned to answer and said, "Oh my gosh! Your Tyson Granger of the G-Revs! I'm such a huge fan!" Ken looked dumbstruck as he watched his leader fangirl* over a dude they bumped into on the street. Which made the kids laugh. Jake said, "Big sis, you might want to answer his question." Demiyah shook her head, "Sorry. My friends and I are visiting for the day. We're looking for someone." Tyson asked, "Who are you looking for?" Demiyah said, "Does the word Thundercat mean anything to you?" Tyson said, "Personally no. But, my friend Ray said he was descended from one of the Thundercats once. It was in passing but it's strange you came here when he said a new Lady of the Thundercats was chosen." Demiyah said, "Can you introduce us? It's important." Tyson said, "Sure. Just give me a minute to call Ray." Ken made a quick call to the others who met up with them alongside Max Tate, Kai Hiwatori, and Hiro Granger. Daichi was at the dojo with Ray.
At the Granger dojo, Ray looked grumpy because Tyson said a fangirl he met by chance knew about the Thundercats. He saw the girl as the his former team the White Tigers stood close. Mariah watched Demiyah in confusion. Mariah said, "She moves like a lion." Demiyah smirked and allowed the change between her normal Human/Asgardian/Lunarian self and her Thunderan self to happen. Ray took one look at the sword on her belt and kneeled. "Princess. Hail Lady of the Thundercats." Ray's human self changed into his Thunderan form which resembled a tiger. He said, "I am Raymond Kon the descendant of Tygra. It is an honor to finally meet you Princess Demiyah descendant of Lion-O." The White Tigers kneeled to her as Demiyah returned to her normal form. She blushed as her cat ears and tail came out. She said flustered, "None of that please. I haven't taken my place as the next Lady of the Thundercats. We have a mission to complete. There are Dark forces at work in the worlds." Kai asked confused, "Worlds? As in plural?" Ken said, "Yes Kai, worlds. The Universe is far bigger than what you believe it to be. There are many worlds each with their own people and in many, magic. We're on a quest to save them. By gathering the descendants of the Thundercats so they can defeat Akurayami. Mumm-Ra's legacy." Mariah said disgusted, "Mumm-Ra had a legacy?" Ray commented, "That...is highly disturbing." Demiyah said dryly, "No kidding. Long story short, we have to gather new allies and go on an, I guess, life changing quest in order to save the worlds." Max said in a joking manner, "No pressure though."
Hiro asked, "Demiyah is Jake related to you?" Demiyah shrugged, "I honestly have no clue. He's like a little brother to me so that's what I call him." Tyson said, "You two sort of do look alike." James asked, "How do you look like Kim and Tommy if your adopted?" Demiyah replied, "A blood adoption ritual. I still read the biological daughter of my birth parents by standard DNA tests. Something specialized would show the blood adoption." Ventus said, "Wow. I was not expecting that." Izzy asked, "Demiyah what's DNA?" Demiyah said, "DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid is the biological coding for all living organisms. It is different for every individual everywhere. It's near impossible to replicate the exact DNA strands without the proper scietific equipment. Each living organism recieves exactly one half of their DNA from each parent. Humans generally have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chromosome coming from the Greek words Chromo meaning colour and Soma meaning body. Chromosomes come in pairs. As I said, Humans have 23 pairs. Cats have 19 pairs. Nekojins have exactly 34 pairs. This is because we are capable of taking on feline traits and shifting into a feline. If you find a cat with 34 pairs of chromosomes then it's a nekojin. Chromosomes are in pairs because one is inherited from a mother and one from a father. Each Chromosome has genes. A gene is made of a large DNA molecule and has 'genetic code' which is passed from parent to offspring. There are two types of genes. Dominant and Recessive. A dominant gene will be present over a recessive gene. For example, Blue eyes is a Recessive gene. In the case of mutants, the X-Gene could be Recessive for years if not decades in a family line before becoming the Dominant Gene in a person's family line. Same with the Meta Gene which is similar to the X-Gene but initally is because of different circumstances mutating a normal Dominant Gene in a human or other life form. The more basic version of this is how some superheros have the same powers as their parents. This is because the parents powers are Dominant Genes. Or they were Recessive that got passed down."
Vanitas said deadpan, "I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your a real encyclopedia Demiyah." Terra joked and said, "Your a regular science Professor." Keith chuckled, "Looks like you've got a new nickname Miya." Everyone chuckled at Demiyah being called Professor. Pym said, "Next thing you know she'll start wearing glasses." Demiyah said sheepishly, "I actually do need them, but I usually wear contacts made by the Rangers that won't slip in battle. My dad wears these kind of contacts too." Demiyah removed the contacts and slipped on a pair of gold wire frame glasses. Matt said, "Now you and Pidge look darn near identical. Only real difference is your hair colors and skin tones." Pidge blinked and said amused, "It's almost like looking in a mirror." Demiyah giggled, her honey brown eyes sparkling in excitement.
After exchanging numbers with Ray and the White Tigers the gang went back to Odaibah. Jake on the train ride back asked, "Big sis, do DNA tests tell people about their family?" Demiyah replied, "There are tests like that. Why little Captain?" Jake said uncertain, "Well...it's just, Izzy and Cubby have real fuzzy memories about their families and I don't. We were found by Peter about the same time so I should have some memories of them. But I don't and I have to know where I come from. Whether or not I have a family. Izzy and Cubby's families are a mystery because they can't remember much. I don't know if my family is alive and looking for me or not." Demiyah hugged Jake and said, "If you want to know, I'll help you little bro."
The next day, Jake went with Demiyah down to the medical center. Jake held her hand as they walked through the building into a room where there was a big chair and some strange equipment. Jake asked curiously and using his sister's new nickname, "Professor what's this stuff?" Dana walked in and asked amused, "Professor?" Demiyah giggled, "Keith said it's my new nickname when Terra called me a Professor. And to answer your question, this is a Phlebotomy kit. Phlebotomy is a fancy way to say that blood is being drawn." Jake blinked and said, "Oh. Okay." Dana asked, "So what sort of test am I seeing Jake for today?" Demiyah replied, "He wanted to see if he had any family here. This world was where Peter found him, so he's curious since he doesn't have any memories of his family." Dana commented, "Kind of like you eh Professor." Demiyah said, "Don't call me that. But yes." Jake was nervous since he'd never got blood taken before, but Demiyah promised him it wasn't so bad. Once the blood draw was done the needle was removed from his arm and a yellow bandage was put on his arm where the needle was. Dana said, "It'll take about a week to run the test and get the results."
(In an unknown location)
A group of menacing beings known as the Dark Shadows, a group of inter-galactic treasure hunters were crowding around trying to find a special locket that would reveal locations of magical artifacts. Not knowing that Peter Pan sent it and the Book of Mysteries to Demiyah.
Ending noites:
What Demiyah says about choices not abilities defining who we are: A quote from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Demiyah fangirling: She's fourteen give her a break. This shows she is indeed a normal girl despite her powers.
Peter being Guardian of Never Land: As he said places like the Mystic Islands require a Guardian. If he ever did want to grow up, then he would have to choose a new Guardian to take his place. Peter Pan wouldn't be his actual name, but a title for the Guardian. His actual name is one I'll eventually make up for this story so it's not canon.
Peter being an orphan: This isn't canon either, but it's how I do things. Not all orphans are lucky and Peter is meant to represent that.
Arianne: She is the Guardian of the Star of Life. And is the mother of one of the kids. I have yet to decide when to reveal it.
Star of Life: This is where the Lifestream flows from in my fic. In this mythos, the Lifestream is what guides spirits who pass on either before their time or when it's their time.
Professor: Demiyah spent most of her time expanding her knowledge, because when the Digidestineds would blow her off or in Ken's case be kept away from her by the others, she really had nothing better to do with her free time.
Demiyah needing glasses: This is from Zeltrax beating her. Obviously, she can heal just fine. But since she couldn't go blind because of her accelerated healing, she needs glasses instead.
Kyren: An oc I created to give Krolia a bit more background.
Jake's feeling about his family: Again important! This is because of Ursula supressing Jake's memories of his family.
Jake's familiarity with Demiyah holding him: Again is because of Ursula using her magic on Jake. Will become known in Arc 2 Chapter 1.
Ray as Tygra's descendant: This is far too tempting. His former team was the White Tigers and his Bit Beast is a Tiger so it made sense.
Izzy and Cubby not trusting Tj: They haven't really met many good adults in the time they've been in Never Land. So it's normal for them.
Jake knowing Tj from Demiyah: He's visited before as seen back in Chapter 9. Izzy and Cubby didn't go with Pidge and Hunk to school. Jake did and Demiyah introduced him to a number of people including Tj.
Next Chapter Preview(Amaya aka Owlette): "Hi everyone, it's Amaya. Next time, it's school spirit week! It's so much fun getting to dress up! But on Wicked Wednesday, Inoue claims we're evil! I know she's the real bad guy, but when she convinces Kari and Tk that big sister and her friends partners should be deleted forever things get bad. But the real shock is coming for someone else. What is it? Flutterring feathers! Don't miss the next chapter of Digimon Adventure 03: Magic, Mutation, and Beyond: School Spirit, Monster Days, and Deception Revealed. See you there!"
