Hey guys, sorry for the long wait. It took me a while to get this to be somewhat ok with me to publish. Hope you enjoy!
I stuck the mirror I had in my hand around the corner of the building. Judging it was safe, I quickly took off down the street, checking to make sure I wasn't being followed. I stopped in front of the house, took another look around, and quickly ran in. After bolting the door behind me, I took a small breather, setting down the bags I was carrying. Ryan was trying to find another source of water, after our last one was destroyed. With just the two of us left, it was becoming harder to do all the tasks to keep up with the corrupted digimon. I sat down on my chair, and picked up the egg that held my partner. Even after all these years, it had yet to hatch. Maybe I should explain a bit about the world I was stuck in.
10 years ago, Ryan, Logan, Shelby and I all woke up in the middle of this strange park, inside a city that was full of skyscrapers, houses and different buildings. We all found a giant egg in front of each of us, as well as a small device. The eggs belonging to Ryan, Logan and Shelby all hatched, and their new digimon partners explained what was going on. As Betamon X, Ryan's partner, explained to us, we were drawn into a self-sustaining worldlet that draws corrupted digimon into it as well. These corrupted digimon existed outside of the dimension, but were trying to break through. Logan and his partner, DemiDevimon, quickly found that the worldlet was only a chunk of land, about 5 miles each direction from the center. There was an edge to this world, and we seemed to be floating in a strange, gray mist. Shelby and Renamon had quickly found a house we could use as a base, and we all fled there. While we were all confused, Ryan, Logan and I quickly came together to figure out what had happened. We all knew each other, and had been hanging out at the mall (which, even though we were all about 8, out parents trusted us to be by ourselves), and then we were suddenly in this new world. Shelby stood off to the side, talking to her partner. Shelby looked to be a few years older than us, and quickly took charge. After looking around, we had found shelter, and discovered a grocery store. We also discovered that whatever food and other items we took, were replaced the next day. Realizing that, we knew that we could at least sustain ourselves in the strange new world. Over the year, Ryan, Logan and Shelby, as well as their partner worked on protecting us from the corrupted digimon, ranging from rookies to Ultimate level digimon. Each of us had also discovered a crest; in tune to one of the things we believed represented our strongest part of our personalities the most. Ryan found the Crest of Power, as he believed strength was important to protect ourselves. Logan found the Crest of Darkness, because he believed darkness is a time for rest, recovery and peace. Shelby found the Crest of Memories, because she believes that the memories we form impact who we are. Each of them had unlocked their Crests as well, however, my crest has remained blank and inactive. Betamon X digivolved to MegaSeadramon X, DemiDevimon had digivolved to NeoDevimon, and Renamon digivolved to Wisemon. It was all going fairly well, until a few years ago. That was when the first of my friends disappeared.
6 years after we first arrived, something had happened. We all heard a loud explosion, and suddenly a large creature appeared in the middle of the park. It was a large robotic digimon, with green limbs, and a red shell-like body with two cannons on its arms. When I saw it, a name came to my mind. JumboGamemon. Right after I thought of that name, Renamon quickly identified it as JumboGamemon, as well as a mega level digimon. I paled. From what the digimon have told us, mega levels were on their own class, and even with three ultimates, we may have trouble. Suddenly, Shelby stepped forward, and digivolved Renamon to Wisemon.
"Get out of here, I can handle this," she told the rest of us. We tried to protest, but the look in her eyes made us quickly back off. Ryan and Logan took off, while I hid behind a building a little ways away. I had a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Wisemon quickly attacked the large digimon, however he was quickly loosing. Grabbing at my crest, which had suddenly grown warm, I watched as a dark pink aura surrounded Shelby. The symbol for her crest appeared in the air behind her. She grabbed her crest, put her hand out, and cried out something that I couldn't hear. Suddenly, my crest burned my hand, and a light surrounded Shelby and her partner. The symbol for her crest shattered into pieces, and reformed. I stared at the new symbol, and something told me this was the Crest of Dreams. I watched as Wisemon changed into a mega level digimon. It was reminiscent of a clown digimon, and the name that came to mind was Piedmon. Another huge flash of light from Piedmon blinded me, and I turned away. Once the light died down, I stared. Shelby, her partner, and the large digimon had disappeared. That was the last time I saw her in person.
After I found Ryan and Logan, they were devastated to hear what had happened. We all wondered where she could have gone, and what caused it. Was it the fact that her partner made it to mega, or was it the same force that had brought us here? We couldn't figure it out, but we were all left wondering what would happen in the future. 2 years after Shelby left, I woke up in the middle of the night, clutching at my chest where my crest had burned me once more. I got up, and looked out the window. I saw a black and gold light, and a large flash of bright light, and I knew that Logan was now gone as well. Ryan and I didn't talk about it at all, silently mourning the loss of another of our friends, as well as wondering who was next.
Suddenly, a large explosion happened in the middle of the city. I looked out the window, but I already knew what was happening. My crest began to burn, and a large blue/green light revealed a large serpentine digimon in the middle of the city, fighting another large digimon. A final flash of light and both digimon were gone. Awestruck, I sat back down, and clutched at the egg that held my partner. I was all alone now, in a city that may have corrupted digimon with no one to help me. I was truly alone. I went over to the bed, lay down, and pulled the covers over my head. It was the middle of the day, but I still laid there and cried myself to sleep. Maybe if I had been a bit stronger, I would have been awake to notice as my crest and digiegg glowed, and maybe I would have seen my partners egg wobble a bit, before growing still once more.
