Getting the Digivice was the easy part, the hard part was knowing which egg belonged with you, at least, that's what my older brother David told me. I never believed him until I actually got to Bootup Meadow for my own Partner, and it seemed so, different from the first time I came here.
My friends the twins, Chris and Cassidy, were already searching around. I tightened my mother's Bandana. I saw an egg nestled in a bush, made my way to it but before I got there another classmate snatched it away. I saw an egg up in the trees and tried to climb up but fell down and saw the gymnast in my class climb up to the top without trouble. I tried and tried again, and after who knows how long, I walked into the twins who were each holding their own egg.
"Looks like your still empty handed, you need some help," asked Cassidy.
"Please I'm begging you," I moaned.
"1000 bits," She said with an evil expression on her face.
"You're the Devil…"
"Alice," she said with a salesman's personality on a commercial, "Now and only now you can get, a 5% girl-to-girl discount."
"That's still expensive!" Chris meanwhile had noticed David and his friends watching from a distance. He waved over to them and gestured for them to come closer. By this time I was on the ground begging for help neither Cassidy or I noticing any of them until they were practically on top of us.
"Alice, come on up."
"There's no more point in trying David…" He whispered something to Scott. And I just let myself pass out from exhaustion. They stood for a few minutes and finally decided to go with their plan
"DemiMeramon if you would please," said Scott.
"Demiblaze!" The heat of it would have been just fine in waking me up but no… they went for the more extreme measure and set my hair on fire…yeah, next thing I knew I was making for the nearby lake.
"I think we overdid it," whispered David.
"I can't believe you got me to do that."
"When do you think she'll realize that DemiMeramon already ate the fire, or that he could do that?"
"20 bits says she doesn't."
"I'll take those odds."
As I sprinted for the lake I tripped over a dead tree's root and fell, then noticed something, I wasn't on fire anymore. Only the very tips of my hair was singed, then I recalled that some Fire based species Digimon could eat fire as well as spew it out as I learned at the academy. I realized what had happened, stood up, and kicked the tree whose root had tripped me. Still angry I laid down on the ground and stared up into the sky and felt rain drop down on my face.
There was a large hole next to the root, easily big enough for 2 people, I crawled in all the way to the back and just sat and thought for a moment. It took me a second to realize I was sitting on more than just dirt. It was something much harder. I moved over to see what it was, expecting it to just be a rock, but found it to be more valuable than any rock. It was an egg, it was my egg… I started digging it out of the ground, then brought it into the light, it wasn't extremely glamorous, it had a very simple design on it, just horizontal black and white stripes. It didn't matter to me what it looked like, just that I had found one at all was enough to make me happy, I didn't even care what was in there.
I pulled it out of the hole I had dug then brought it out of the den-like structure. The rain hadn't lasted long, it was as sunny as when I arrived what seemed like days ago, and I could see my brother and the others waiting for me at the top of the hill. They gestured for me to catch up with them as we started on our way back to Eclipse City.
"Oh Grand Master Lucemon, King of the Demon Lords, I have heard your call, what is your bidding?"
"Devimon," hissed a voice in his head, "Your first task is to begin the resurrection of the armies, then search for the 7 code cards, as I am sure you are well aware, they are the only thing keeping us bound in this slumber…"
"As you wish, master." Devimon walked from the mirror then searched the fortress in which he resided for the book that held the information that he required, he found it and searched its contents. He found what he was looking for, in order to bring back the armies, he had to undo the seal that stood in the ruins of Mount Cursor, a simple task, but at the moment, he required some assistance from his old allies.
