Deep in an urban part of Florida, two friends were hanging out and watching tv. One had long black hair and was slightly built. He was scarfing down a bag a popcorn. The other was a girl with short brown hair. She was yelling at the boy to save some popcorn for her. They were watching some show with about time travel.
"Tristan! If you eat all that popcorn, I'm not gonna make anymore cookies for you!", yelled the girl as she threw a pillow at Tristan. He dodged it, only to get pummeled by another one. He just laughed and crammed some more popcorn into his mouth. He then threw the bag at her.
"Fine Meggie, you can have the popcorn. Only because I love your chocolate chip cookies too much. You want anything to drink?", said Tristan as he walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. Meggie just replied with a no and he just shrugged and grabbed a soda. He walked back into the living room and plopped on the couch, earning a scowl from Meggie. They continued to watch their movie, with Tristan devouring the bag of popcorn along with two other bags and four sodas.
As the movie neared the end, all the power in the house began to go haywire. Light bulbs began burning out. Eventually all the light in the house went out. Tristan angrily complained about missing the movie's ending and loudly blamed the local power company.
"Well, if there's no power, what do we do now?", asked Meggie. Tristan just shrugged and decided to go outside. Meggie followed after. When they got outside, they both came to a sudden stop. A fair distance away, the sky was lit up very brightly by a strange light.
"Well I don't know about you, but I wanna check out that light.", said Tristan as he began walking in that direction.
"Tristan, what are you thinking? Don't you remember what we talked about the other day? The rules of survival? You never go towards strange lights!", exclaimed Meggie as she chased after him. She is always having to follow him into crazy scenarios.
"But Meggie, the power is out and we have nothing better to do. Pretty please, can we go see the light? I wuuuuuve you", pleaded Tristan as he did his usual begging act. He even added his famous puppy dog eyes and "I Wuve you" phrase to it. She scowled at him for a minute, but conceded. The act always works on her, but only because of how much she loves her best friend.
"Yay! Now let's hurry before it disappears!", cheered Tristan happily as he then ran towards the light. Meggie then ran after him.
As they ran, they had to cross through a patch of woods. Meggie was worried they'd run into a bug the entire time. She has a slight fear of bugs. Even the tiniest little bug can freak her out. Eventually, they came to an open pasture. There they could see the strange light. It was a bunch of numeric code moving around along with some strange symbols. The patch of code was enormous in size. As they watched, as hole began to appear in the code and grow larger and wider.
When the hole reached its maximum size, strange-looking creatures began pouring out. Some were insects with flame-like wings, some were yellow primates, and various other creatures crossed over. Meggie and Tristan then ran away and headed for the woods. The Shadramon caught sight of them and chased after them. As they got close, they began shooting fireballs at the friends.
As they ran, Meggie tripped over a tree root. Tristan stopped to help her up. One of the Shadramon charged in to attack them. Before it could; however, a sudden burst of webbing wrapped around it and caused it to crash into a tree. It was left stuck there struggling to break free. Meggie and Tristan were relieved to see a woman in red walking towards them.
"Are you two alright? It's not safe here for the two of you right now. I will take you out of these woods and then you must get away from here.", asked Arukenimon as she reached the friends. She looked at Meggie's ankle and was glad it wasn't hurt. They then had to run, as the other Shadramon charged in the avenge their comrade. As they got to the edge of the woods, Arukenimon bid the humans farewell.
"But you can't stay in there Miss! Like you said, it's not safe.", argued Tristan.
"I will be fine. Despite my appearance I can manage those fireflies with little effort. What's important is that you two get to safety. And know matter what you see or hear, don't come back into these woods. Now go.", replied Arukenimon. She then gave them both a hug and a small push to send them on their way. Tristan scowled, but relented. He also wanted to make sure Meggie got to a safe place. They proceeded to run towards his house. As he looked back, he saw Arukenimon walking back into the woods. He wished her luck and whispered thank you.
"These two will definitely be perfect candidates for the chosen ones, Seraphimon and Ophanimon. I only hope that you both saw them. I very much hope to see them again. Now to take care of this mess.", spoke Arukenimon calmly as she walked slowly into the woods. The Shadramon had gathered the Apemon and the other various digimon together. They all then converged on her. She then proceeded to change form into a red spider-like creature. She then proceeded to attack the enemy digimon. Eventually, all of the enemy digimon were restrained with webbing. She then summoned forth a horde of other spider-like creatures to help carry back the digimon. They carried them back to the hole and reached it just in time. They all jumped back through, carrying the raging digimon with them. Once everyone was through, the hole promptly closed and the light vanished.
As the friends reached Tristan's house, they wondered what happened as they saw the light vanish. Tristan then offered to take Meggie to her house, so she doesn't have to go alone. Afterwards, he got back home and proceeded to get ready for bed. As he lay in bed dozing off, he didn't notice the glowing angelic figure peering at him through a small rift.
"You were right Arukenimon. These kids will make excellent Digi-Destined. Their hearts are pure. And this one seems to be full of much courage. We will activate the rest of our plan tomorrow morning.", spoke Ophanimon as she closed the small rift. She and the rest of the Rebellion's forces then proceeded to head back for camp. They carried one of the rift machines along with them. Everything was falling into place for the Rebellion. No one expected what would happen in the following days.
