As the light faded it revealed an egg with violet rings swirling around it
"This can't be" Zac stammered as the egg floated in front of him
He extended the arm and lay his palm on the smooth surface of the egg and it rested into his arms
"I can't believe it" Zac said a beaming smile on his face "It finally came"
The egg fidgeted in his arms, Zac laid it on a bed of thickets and walked to the entrance of the cave. He looked out at the frozen land and icy forests, he was in Russia, he had been at Echo's Russian offices when he heard news of Lazarus arresting Alpha Team, luckily for him he had contacts and managed to get his way out of the base before officers arrived.
He knew the reason for their arrest Azza had been sent on a mission to close all the gates to the Digital World, the main gate being in Odaiba, Japan. No one but Lazarus knew why the gates were to be shut but Azza and Zac had come with a plan to backfire on Lazarus. The only gate left open was the gate from the London Eye which stands over the British branch of Echo, Azza had closed both the gate in Odaiba and the gate in England, there was only one way to now open the gates and that was by the person who closed it with their D-Touch. Zac sighed before entering the cave to check on the egg, the egg still rolled and fidgeted like a person in a bad dream.
"Zac Jones?" a voice whispered from behind him
Zac turned startled his fists ready as he saw a battered young boy with blonde hair and a navy peak cap almost crawling into the cave, Zac ran to help the boy, lifting his head and supporting it
"Are you ok?" Zac asked in Russian
"N-no" the boy replied, he saw the egg "You have Digimon?"
"Not yet" Zac said "You know of Digimon are you a Tamer?"
"N-not anymore" the boy stammered his eyes beginning to fill with tears "T-they k-killed Kuwagamon"
"He'll come back" Zac comforted "When a Digimon dies there data his reassembled into a new Digi-Egg"
"N-not anymore" the boy stammered his energy weakening drastically "Something's happening in the Digi-World my friend, when a Digimon dies it now stays dead"
Zac's eyes were wide with shock
"But worst of all my friend is that this puts the Digidestined and Tamers at risk" the boy continued "There's a connection between Digimon and partner one so strong that neither can live without the other…so when one dies so does the other"
The boy gulped as his face went paler, Zac looked at his egg rolling frantically
"Is that w-what's happening to y-you?" Zac choked out the words
"Y-Yes" the boy said "T-they killed Kuwagamon, n-now I-I-I-"
His mouth began to froth with blood as his face went as pale as the snow outside, he held his hand to his face as he looked in horror as his fingers began disintegrating into small particles, soon the rest of his body starting from his feet started doing the same. The boy panted heavily as he lost his arms and legs slowly, closing his eyes in manic pain, soon the disintegration started on his torso and up to his head
"S-Save…t-the…o-o-others" the coughed and panted through the blood erupting from his mouth, his eyes rolled back and the blood began flowing out of them. Zac looked on in horror
"What can I do?" he thought to himself as the particles finally consumed the boy, he slammed his fist into the pool of blood that had been left behind as tears flooded his eyes "I have to do something but what? If I reveal myself I'll be arrested"
He stood up and looked out of the cave to the sun setting on the frozen forest, he clenched his fist
"No…I cant let this happen" he said clenching his fist tight "I have to save them even if I have to do it alone"
"Your not alone" a mysterious yet friendly voice said from behind him, Zac swirled on his heel again this time to find a long lost friend, one he had not seen for nearly a year. George stood there a small robotic canine-creature kneeled by his side, his black D-Touch shone brightly with his crest symbol, a spiral with three hexagons surrounding it, shining on the face "The Order will help!"
"George!" Zac cried out in shock "What are you doing here…how did you know I was here has Echo sent you"
"Echo has no way of tracking me no more" George said "I came here by my own means…that boy that was just here?"
"Dead" Zac choked "You knew him?"
"Yes" George said somberly "He was a member of The Order, Yuri was his name, Yuri Rasputin he had been partnered with a Kuwagamon"
"He told me of his partner" Zac sighed "Not of his name, what happened to Kuwagamon"
"Shot down" George sighed "We were on a mission when Echo discovered us out of nowhere came to sharp blades, Kuwagamon managed to deflect one but the other hit him in the chest…it was unfortunate for Yuri that they were not higher up"
"Unfortunate? How?" Zac asked thinking his friend sounded quite brutal at that point
"Well he would have died instantly if he'd had a higher fall" George replied, he noticed Zac was giving him and evil glare so he continued "As soon as Kuwagamon was hit he died instantly so Yuri's fate was sealed…the only problem is, that the process of being killed when your Digimon is, is that it's a slow painful process"
Zac began to understand what he meant but was still confused on why he had come here, he looked at the robotic dog
"Is that a Digimon?" Zac asked
"Yes" George replied thinking it was a silly question "This is Gigamon"
The mechanic dog bowed low
"Its nice to meet you, sir" the dog said in a mechanic voice
The egg still rolled around frantically on the bed of thickets
"I need your help Zac" George said "I've made a resistance and we're gonna bring Echo down"
"What about the others?" Zac asked
"Azza and Jack have been arrested as well as the Digidestined, Sian's in a coma and Nathan's still on the Navy circuit and Echo won't risk such a public display and as for Tom I cant get a hold of him" George sighed "Its just you and me and now only five others"
"Who are the others?" Zac asked
George walked to the edge of the cave and whistled, five other children soon came into view. The first one was a blonde boy wearing a grey t-shirt with a read shirt over it, on one shoulder was a cream coloured rabbit with long lop ears with green patches on its body, on his head was a single small horn, on his other shoulder was another rabbit identical to the first except the cream was replaced with brown and the green replaced with pink, on its head were three horns as opposed to two.
"This is Willis Washington" George said "And this is Terriermon and Lopmon"
Next to him was a girl sobbing into her gloves her blonde hair covered by a brown bobble hat, beside her was a large grey horse with black wings and a red helmet with a long horn on the top
"This is Anna Kandinsky" George introduced "And her partner Unimon"
The next girl had her arm around Anna comforting her, her hair was also blonde but short, behind her was a large green insect with no eyes and instead of hands had to large blades.
"This is Sonya and her partner Snimon" George said
The next teenager was a blonde hair girl with a pretty face her hair was platinum blonde and tied back, her red dress tattered, by her side was an exhausted humanoid-plant its head like a red bulb and her hands budded flowers
"This is Catherine of France and her Digimon Floramon" George introduced
The last teenager was a tanned boy with long hair and a red bandanna around his head, beside him was a large dinosaur with huge spikes coming out his back
"And finally this is Lou Smith and Tortomon" George finished
"I know some of you" Zac said, nodding towards Willis "Some of you I don't I'm afraid"
"This is what's left of The Order" George sighed "We've suffered major casualties over the passed few months"
"What's our first move?" Catherine asked in a light French accent
"Well we need to have a proper send off for Yuri" George sighed "But first, Zac I need an answer"
Zac looked around at the badly beaten teenagers and why they were fighting, he felt as if he was looking at Alpha Team six years ago, he hesitated look at Alpha Team now half of them were in prison while the rest were in hiding except for Tom…god knows where he had gone, Sian was in a coma and Nathan would be getting arrested once he stepped foot on the shore, would this Order become corrupt in years to come as well?
He looked once more at their determined faces and then finally at George
"It would be an honour" he smiled, the egg stopped rolling and exploded in a ray of bright light to reveal a small furry creature with large ears and a long bushy tail rolled up in a ball, it stretched and yawned poking its head up on its forehead was an emerald gem that shone in the moonlight, it scanned the beings surrounding him
"Why everyone so serious?" the Digimon asked, his eyes met Zac's "You must be my partner"
The creature leapt to its feet and ran at Zac "Me name's Racoonmon"
"I-I'm Zac" Zac beamed
"Why its nice to meet you Zac" Racoonmon smiled
"Now that your partners hatched I reckon its time we start planning what we do…starting with busting the others out of jail" George said rolling up his sleeve to show his D-Touch "But first Zac I want you and Racoonmon to follow me"
George pushed a button on his D-Touch and a swirl of light erupted from it standing there was a swirling portal with shards floating around it
"You need to see the damage" George told him stepping inside, Zac hesitantly followed
