Chapter 2

A Legend is Born

By 1995, there had been no incidents in that had affected the Digital World nor the real world. Gennai had catalogued everything about the digital world. The inhabitants called themsleved Digital Monsters, or Digimon for short. They had a culture all their own. In the spring of that year, Gennai had reported a disturbance that came from the wall of fire. According to the unit, this disturbance was an accumulation of viruses that had been prevalent over the past decade. Gennai knew that these viruses had a negative effect on the Digital World and the inhabitants, but there hadn't been any serious damage that would affect the real world, but this menace warped the space time continuum of the Digital World so that time was out of sync with the real world. Gennai reported that the Digimon had prophecies of children coming from the real world to save the Digital World from this menace. Zed was worried that this would expose the existence of the Digital World to the public. Gennai suggested that children would be an ideal recruitment, because they would not be a threat to the security of both worlds. He even suggested that the children could be allies.

Zed agreed and allowed Gennai to help the Digimon recruit five children to defeat the menace they called Apocalymon. The MIB created digivices for the Digidestined. The main function was to combat virus Digimon and to aid in the growth of the digimon of the respective Digidestined.

Gennai reported that the digidestined were to be selected where the portals where the strongest, which was in Japan. A long time resident, Leomon, who had befriended Gennai, took on the task of guiding and protecting the digidestined for present and future.

The five children that were selected, were brought to the Digital World. Like the eight that followed, they were assigned digivices and Digimon companions. It took them three weeks to battle and contain Apocalymon. The Original Five returned to the real world on the condition that they never discuss what they know until further contact. Although Apocalymon was defeated and contained for the time being, the damage that was done still had to be fixed, which Gennai was not sure what to do about. Futhermore, he realized that Apocalymon was still a potential threat and that more work needed to be done to secure both worlds.
