Digimon: The Power of Evil

Chapter 1: Our world, 2013

Luke Ichijouji hated being late, he checked his phone and grumbled as it flashed the time( 2:14) up at him. " Great, I was meant to be at the principal's office by 2:00. I can't believe that I'm late on my first day". Luke had been expelled from his old school for "Playing with Fire" but when asked about it later he would say he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. His parents were very upset and angry that he had been expelled so they sent him to boarding school. " Stupid uniform" he complained as he pulled at his itchy grey sweater that had the school crest sown on by his mother " I wonder how Hope and Rose are doing". Hope and Rose were two of his best friends that had also been expelled at the same time as him, in total there were five kids starting at the boarding school today, four of which had been expelled from their previous high school. The four kids that were expelled were Luke Ichijouji, Hope Inoue, Rose Tachikawa and James Minamoto( Luke's best friend) the fifth person starting at the boarding school that day was Abby Kamiya who was only six years old, Luke and his friends had no idea if she been expelled from her previous school or not. Luke was thinking of an excuse to tell the principal for his tardiness " I got lost, nah that's too overused, I know, I'll say that i was reading in my room and didn't notice what time it was" Luke had one main passion in life and that was books, he would read for days on end if he was able to. He turned around the corner towards the principal's office and walked right into a little girl, he tripped over and landed on the ground. " Are you okay? Should I call 911?" she asked these questions thoughtfully. " It's okay. I'm fine,see" he stood up and shook hands with the young girl. " I'm Luke Ichijouji, and you are?" Luke waited for an answer. " I'm Abby, nice to meet you Luke, do you know where the principal's office is? Do you know where the toilet is?" Abby was the kind of girl who asked a lot of questions at the same time, "Yes the principal's office is down this corridor" he said as took hold of Abby's hand and started walking towards the office together. " Is this your first day at school?" Luke asked her. "Yep, how about you?" Luke was going to answer but they had come to the end of the corridor " Might as well get this over with" thought Luke as he gently pressed down on the handle of the door. He gave it a small push and let it annoyingly creak open. "Luke, Abby, how nice of you to join us" said the principal angrily. " Sorry I'm late sir, I was reading and I lost track of time" he explained but the principal wasn't listening, instead he was staring at Rose who had pulled down her hat to laugh. Hope gave her a small punch on the upper arm "Someone's noticed you" she whispered and started laughing hysterically. This just made Rose more hyper and within seconds she was leaning onto the principal's desk to stop her from falling on the floor. Luke giggled but it wasn't very noticeable, whereas James kept a straight face, he wasn't paying attention to Rose he was looking at Hope. They had gone out a couple of times over the summer but Hope wasn't ready for a relationship yet so she ended it. James had been really disappointed by this and even showed up at Luke's doorstep crying, but Luke had reassured him that they were still friends and that had seemed to calm him down. Now he tries to act like he's over her, but every time she looks away he will stare at her with his dark blue eyes. "That kind of behaviour is not tolerated in my office" yelled the principal, quickly shutting everyone up. He went on to discuss the rules of the school and give the kids their class timetables.

"That was so boring." Luke sighed as he hugged Rose. Rose was the kind of person who loved hugging, there was a rumour going around the kids old high school that once Rose had hugged the Geography teacher. "So what do you want to do?" Abby asked. The older kids had never noticed that she was following them. They were in their early teens and none of them really wanted to hang out with a six year old. "Why don't we go for a walk outside" proposed James, he was planning on ditching Abby when she went to tie her shoelace, which he assumed was going to come undone. "Abby would you like to climb on my shoulders?" said Hope, she had two younger brothers at home and she adored playing with them, she couldn't wait until she had her own kids. Abby didn't bother giving an answer she just climbed onto Hope's back and wrapped her legs around Hope's neck. The kids walked outside into the cool, fresh air."It looks shiny" exclaimed Abby. The older kids didn't know what she meant by this "o.k. why don't go around this corner up ahead" said James as he gave Abby a strange, confused look. Luke and Rose were giggling about something but James didn't have any interest in hearing about that right now. "I'll race you" said James who ran further ahead waiting for Hope to follow. " Stupid kid" he thought "How come she gets to sit on Hope's shoulders, why can't I?" By now he had turned the corner. He looked up and suddenly he understood what Hope meant by "It looks shiny" up ahead there were flashing lights that were beaming out from a bush. Hope and Abby had caught up and noticed it too, "Pretty colors" said Abby as she slid off of Hope's shoulder. She blew the whistle that was around her neck, expecting something to happen. When nothing did she walked over and toughed the lights, "More" she thought as she walked deeper into the light. It was Rose who acted on the spot and ran over to grab her, "Give me your, OH IT'S PRETTY" she squealed with delight as she also walked into the light, one by one the children were drawn in until finally it was James' turn to get attracted to the beauty of the lights. "The only reason I'm going into these stupid lights is to protect Hope" he grumbled. Little did he know that these would be the last words he would say on earth for a long time.

When Abby opened her eyes the first thing that she noticed was that the colors were gone. "Hope, where are the pretty colors?" she asked as she gently rocked Hope's body, "Hope? Please wake up." After a few more minutes she noticed that there was a bush just like the one she had seen back at the boarding school, Abby swore that she saw eyes peeking out from the bush. "Hello," she cautiously asked. She put her hands into the bush and reached around for the vessel that held the eyes. "Are you my partner?" it asked it a questioning tone. "I don't know what that is but sure" Abby replied as she grabbed onto the body. It was a white cat-like digimon. " Who are you? What are you?" said Abby as she cuddled the creature. "I'm Gatomon, I'm your partner digimon" Gatomon happily replied as she curled up in Abby's arms. "Wow, wait what's a partner digimon?" " A partner digimon is a digimon who is loyal and will always be there for you no matter what happens!" replied Gatomon, it was as if she was reciting what she learned at digimon school. "How come I've never had a digimon before?" Abby asked, she was beginning to miss the company of the older kids, and she realised that she had left Hope alone on the opposite side of the bush. She tried to pick up Gatomon but she was too heavy for her small arms. " It's okay, I need the exercise" said Gatomon as she wriggled free form Abby's hands and walked alongside her. When they reached Hope's sleeping body they noticed that there was a digimon standing next to Hope. "Gatomon," he exclaimed, "thank goodness you're here , my partner, Hope, she won't wake up, I think she's dead." He gave Gatomon a hug. " Gaomon, I'd like you to meet my partner Abby" said Gatomon as she stood back, giving Gaomon a clear view of Abby. " Hello Abby, I'm Gaomon, Hope's digital monster, or digimon for short. Do you think she'll be alright?" he seemed genuinely worried as he said this. " She should be fine,I know, I'll blow my whistle, it always wakes up my dog, Scout." Abby reached for her whistle, she brought it up to her lips and blew, as hard as she possibly could. The sound immediately woke up Hope. She lazily lifted herself of the ground, shook all of the dirt off of her school uniform and looked at Abby and the Digimon. Her mouth open widely. "Hi Hope, I'm Gaomon, I'm your partner digimon." Hope still kept the same expression as she slowly took off her glasses and wiped them off of her jumper. After adjusting them she finally spoke. " Abby could I please talk to for a minute". Abby walked over to Hope and started talking. " So did you catch the game last night?" asked Gatomon, trying to make small talk. Hope and Abby returned a short while later. "Ok, we've been talking and Abby has explained about the whole partner digimon thing. So I guess that means that I'm your partner human Gaoman?" she asked cautiously. Gaomon gave her a long hug. " If we're here because of the lights I guess that means that Luke, James and Rose must be close by!" said Abby. The two girls now partnered with their digimon set off in search of their friends.
