Updates have been pretty fast since I already have the first 4 chapters written up in an exercise, so it is only a matter of typing it up. After the first 4 chapters updates are going to slow down a bit but I will do my very best to finish what I start even if it takes forever. I don't want to stop any of my stories half way done. Well then enough of that and on with the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon
Chapter 2: The Digital World
The last thing Aoi remembers is a bright flash of light and then nothing. She slowly stirs awake finding herself face down on a grassy terrain. Their was a purple fog like miasma covering the land making it impossible to see her surrounding. The miasma was making her lungs burn and her eyes water, but it quickly passes. She starts to get up but stops when a searing pain surges through her left leg. Aoi cringes in pain and quickly grabs her leg. She reaches into her jacket pocket and takes out a small container that has pills in it taking two pills and swallowing them before putting the pills away and leaning against a tree.
A few minutes pass before the pain stops and Aoi stands up trying to see through the miasma. From what she could see she was in a forest but that was all.
"Hey is anyone there?" Aoi yells out trying to find someone.
She starts walking around calling out to try and find the others until she seems to come to an opening.
"Aoi" she turns around hearing Aki calling out to her. Coming from another direction was Aki, Rico, Rita and Shin and they all seem fine.
"Are you okay?" Rico asks Aoi who reassures him that she was fine.
"What happened?" Rita asks.
"The last thing I remember was the strange numbers on the computer" Aki replies.
As the 4 talk about what happened Shin walks past them and kept staring into the miasma, The others look at him and walk up to see what he was staring at. A faint outlining could be seen in the distance and it starts to become clearer. The miasma completely Vanishes leaving the group of 5 in ah at what they saw.
A bright sun illuminates down onto the towering castle that looks as if the walls were made of light. The castle was situated right next to a cliff and towering walls surround the three sides. The group starts walking closer to get a better look and sees a gate with two guards.
"Maybe they can help us" Rico says.
"I don't know, it could be dangerous" Rita replies.
"Have any better ideas" Aki says.
"I'll go" Aoi says starting to walk forward. "You guys stay here, I'll signal if it's safe."
"I'll go too" Shin says before walking past Aoi.
The two walks silently up to the castle gates where they both get a better look at the guards. The two look exactly the same as they were covered in full body armour and a strange symbol was on the chest piece. They carry large shields on their backs and a sword on their sides.
Aoi starts to regret the idea as one of the guards start to walk towards them drawing its sword. Both of them back up as the guard stops a few feet before them and brought its sword down. To both their surprise the guard did not strike them, instead it drove its sword into the ground and kneels down. Aoi has a surprised face while Shin remains expressionless.
"Welcome, I am Knightmon the guard of the castle gates" Knightmon says bowing his head. "My master is expecting your arrival, please enter."
The Knightmon stands up and returns to the side of the gates as they start to open. Aoi turns around and signals the others that it was safe. As the five were reunited they enter the gates and they close behind them.
"I guess there is no going back" Aki says.
"Ya but where do we go from here?" Rita asks.
"You have to head to the meeting room" a voice says.
"who said that?" Rita asks looking around but couldn't see anyone.
"Hey toots down here" the voice says. Looking down in front of them they see a small bunny like figure with a horn on its forehead.
They just stay their staring at the creature before he couldn't take it anymore. "Stop staring at me it's as if you haven't seen a digimon before."
"Digimon?" Aki says.
"What's that?" Rico asks.
The digimon takes one of his ears and puts it to his forehead and shakes his head. "Why do I always get the hard jobs." He jumps up and lands on Rita's head "look here toots I'm a digimon, all the creature here are digimon and we live in the digital world."
"hey don't call me toots" Rita yells and shakes her head causing the creature to jump off and land on Aoi's shoulder.
"So if your a digimon also, what is your name?" Aoi asks not being bothered by the digimon on her shoulders.
"Ah that's right I never introduced myself, I am Terriermon and I will be your guide while your here" Terriermon says as he bows to the others while still on Aoi's shoulder. "Now then allow me to show you to the meeting room" Terriermon uses one ear to wrap around Aoi's back and the other to point the way.
"Exactly what is the digital world?" Shin asks.
"It is just as it sounds" Terriermon responds. "It's a world made up of data that resides in the net." They all have confused looks upon their faces except for Shin who has a face of understanding and interest.
"So in other words your just data, a bunch of 0's and 1's put together the form of a creatures" Shin says.
"Hey dude our bodies might be nothing but numbers, but we developed from that and we became living beings with souls and emotions" Terriermon replies.
"Wait" Rico says "let me get this straight. Right now we are inside the net on a planet made of data" Terriermnon nods. "But then what does that make us? Are we data too?."
"Of course" Terriermon replies. "In order to get you here we had to turn your organic bodies into bits of data and break it down. Once you were broken down we were able to transfer you here."
"Hold it, the way you said that makes it seem as if you brought us here on purpose" Aki says with a bit of a suspicious laugh.
"Well we did" the digimon replies. This causes them all to stop abruptly and stare at Terriermon.
"Why are we here?" Aoi prompts the question on everyone's mind.
"You are here because you are the only ones that can save us" Terriermon says.
The group was confused at first but as they continue there trek through the castle their new friend explained a lot. They found out about the war, the divide and the new war about to start. They learned about digivolving and that digimon are always reborn as eggs. Finally they learn that they are digidestines who will become partners with digimon.
"Here we are the meeting room" Terriermon says pointing to a door at the end of the hall.
As they enter the meeting room they are greeted by a angel. A human figure in silver armour, a purple helmet and guard on his arm and 8 silver wings.
"Greeting humans I am MagnaAngemon owner of this castle and protector to all that resides in these walls. I believe that Terriermon has filled you in on most of the details" MagnaAngemon states.
The angel motions for them to take a seat and they did. They were all sat around a huge table that suddenly shines bright and a hologram appears.
"This is the digital world" MagnaAngemon says. "As you can see our world is divided and the dark side is planing to start another war soon. If war is to break out their will be many loses and our side will surely fall to their Superior numbers."
"And you want us to stop this war" Aoi says receiving a nod.
"But how do we do that?" Rico asks.
"Ya, even with digimon partners we will only be 5 people and 5 digimon. Will that be enough?" Aki asks.
"We are not asking you to fight the war for us" MagnaAngemon says.
"Then what are we here for?" Rita asks.
At that time the hologram changes again to reveal a clear diamond shaped crystal.
"This is a legendary crystal that once resided in the temple of the holy dragons. During the first war the crystal disappeared and the doors to the temple closed. It is said that deep within the temple there lies a mystic power that can put an end to the fighting for good."
"So you want us to find this crystal" Shin Says.
"Yes, if we can find this crystal then all the fighting will end" Terriermon states.
"But how do we go about finding this crystal?" Aoi asks.
"I will reveal that later after you find your digimon partners" MagnaAngemon says.
"Find? Does that mean we have to go look for them" Rita says. "I thought you would just have them lined up for us or something."
"A partner is not something you can just pick out" Terriermon says. "You and your partner have a special link that connects you. There is only one digimon in the entire world that can be partners with you, if it's not the digimon then it can not digivolve."
"Okay so where do we begin to look?" Aki asks.
"There is only one place to look" MagnaAngemon said. "All your partners are waiting for you at the 'Star River of Rebirth'."
That is the end of chapter 2. We got more introductions from some important digimon, the kids learn about why they are there, and now they now where they need to go to first. The next two chapters are just going to be introductions to there partners and some info on the special digivices they get. After the 2-parts then we will get to see the adventure begin and some action. I hope you like the story so far, well then until next chap, bye.
