Gold awoke as the light shone all over his face. "Oh, five more minutes..." He groaned angrily as he sat up. He yawned and stood up. He then rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked around blankly. Until realization hit him like train that is. He screamed out of surprise for a moment before searching frantically around his surroundings, trying to understand where he was. It was a forest, he could tell, it was full of green leaves and grass with various color flowers. The sky was blue with a few clouds. The bushes and shrubs were too thick so he couldn't see beyond a few feet. He looked to the ground and found Platinum asleep on the ground. Or unconscious, he didn't care. "Platinum!" He said. "Wake up! We're in a huge mess!"
But what he didn't notice was that he and Platinum were in new clothes. Gold was still in his red hoodie, but now it had a grey collar on it. He was wearing a black T-shirt as well under the hoodie. He was now wearing black sweat pants and grey shoes with red. He still had his hat and goggles however. Platinum had her pink boots on and a pink overcoat with 4 buttons on the front with a white hat on her head. Gold started to shake her a bit, trying to get to wake up. When she finally opened her eyes, she looked at Gold's face. Immediately she knew something was wrong. She shot straight up an scanned the area. "Where are we?!" She gasped. "And what happened to our clothing?!"
"Huh?" Gold looked down at himself and said, "I didn't notice."
"How?! We're wearing totally different- Never mind." She sighed, taking a deep breath then exhaling. "Where are we?"
"I'm not sure. Doesn't look anything like Diamond's apartment."
"No duh." She said with a bit of an attitude.
"Well, standing still won't help us. I say we try and find a clue."
"What kind of clue did you have in mind?" Platinum asked.
"Hmm... Like... Some type of landmark... Or something recognizable."
"Well, talking won't make progress. Onward." She began to walk in a direction and Gold just walked by her side. They were walking through the forest for what felt like a long time. But it was just for ten they came across the base of some type of pyramid with a large staircase. "What is this?"
"I knew I wanted to see a landmark, but this is ridiculous..." Gold sighed. But something jumped down from the top of the pyramid. It landed on the staircase right in front of them.
Gold and Platinum took a step back in shock. It was a blue dragon with a white underbelly with a grey 'X' on the stomach. He was standing on two legs and had white wings. It stared at the duo with piercing red eyes. "Who are you two humans?" It asked angrily.
"Us?!" Gold asked confused.
"Yes!" It snarled in annoyance.
"Well it's only polite to formally exchange names rather than swooping down and asking for demands." Gold said. Mocking him with a polite tone, but the creature didn't notice.
"Well fine." He said. "My name is ExVeemon. I'm a Champion level Digimon. I have tremendous arm and leg strength and can destroy a mountain of rock with out leaving a trace."
"Hold on." Platinum said. "Did you say 'ExVeemon' and 'Digimon'. It that's true, then we're in the digital world."
"Huh?! You mean like that place that was in the novels?!" Gold asked astonishingly.
"Yes. That is right. This Digimon here is quite famous too for his debut in the stories."
"No way... Then that means we're-"
"I AM still here." ExVeemon said, growing impatient.
"Whoops, sorry." Gold said in his convincing politeness, "Got carried away and lost in our own thoughts. We'll just be going now so-"
"Not so fast. Remember: Introductions." ExVeemon stated slyly.
"Oh right, where are my manners. My name is Gold Ethans and this here is Platinum Berlitz."
"I'm pleased to meet you." Platinum said while doing a little curtsy. She was totally having mixed emotions toward the Digimon.
"Now I have another question: How'd you get here?"
"!?"The digimon's question surprised the both of them. They didn't know what to say. "Well, the thing is we kinda-" Gold started.
"That's enough!" ExVeemon shouted, "I heard all I need to hear!" He began to fly upward.
"Is he leaving?" Gold asked. The Digimon then swooped down in an attempt to ram right into the two kids. "I'll take that as a no!" Gold cried out. He grabbed Platinum's hand and started to run up the stairs. ExVeemon then turned and began to fly over to them.
"Vee-Laser!" The Digimon cried out. The X on his chest was now an orange color. It then fired and X shaped beam from the symbol. The shot barely missed them. They were almost to the top.
'Just a bit more...' Gold thought. Honestly his main concern was Platinum's safety rather than his own. He didn't like Platinum the way Diamond did, but he wasn't going to let her get hurt. Just how he works he assumes. They made it to the top of the pyramid but there was nothing on top. Just a flat space on top. "Oh no!" Gold cried.
"What are we gonna do?" Platinum asked concerned, "I don't want it to end like this!"
"I'm sorry." ExVeemon said, "But this is for the Digital World. Vee-Laser!" He sent another beam at them. Gold and Platinum rushed out of the wayin time but it hit the surface of the pyramid. Suddenly, the floor began to crumble underneath the kids and the duo fell into a newly formed hole.
Gold stood up and stretched, but this time everything hurt. He winced in pain a bit and rubbed his side. It hurt the most. He landed on it when they fell. He looked over to Platinum, who was just standing there in an unnerving silence. "Platinum... Are you OK?" Gold asked, his voice full of real concern.
"I'm fine. Just pondering."
"About?" Gold said.
"How the structure of the pyramid remained totally in tact on the outside, but the inside is hollow..."
"If we are in the Digital World like that Digimon said, then anything is outside of scientific boundaries. So it won't make a lot of sense why."
"I guess you're right. But another thing is bothering me. If ExVeemon was a partner to one of the protagonists in the novel, then why attack us? Aren't we digidestined?"
"We don't have Digivices last time I checked. So it must be some sort of mishap that we were pulled into here... So it would explain why the Digimon attacked. He probably mistaken us for a threat to his home."
"Oh. Well, looks like we're trapped..." Platinum was right. They were in what appeared to be a cave. The interior was shaped like how the pyramid looked, but the cave walls were rugged and not smooth. Some moss was growing on the walls in certain places. There was a stone pedestal on the other end of the space. Above was the hole that they fell from. It was a pretty far distance.
"Well, let's try looking around..." Gold walked over to the pedestal and found something interesting. "Hey Platinum. Come look at this!" What he was looking at was two D-3 digivices. They were dull and grey, like they were shutdown for a while. A long while. "What do you think these are for?"
"Surely not for display." Platinum answered, "There has to be a connection."
Subconsciously, something was telling Gold to pick up the device before him. He slowly went down to grab it. Platinum was feeling kinda the same, so she went to pick it up along with Gold. Their finger tips just touched the digivices and both of the devices began to glow a golden light and an almost white light, but it was platinum colored. When the light faded, the digivices were now a white and gold color for Gold and a white and platinum for Platinum (Just they're color is they're name too, to keep it simple.)
"Wow! Looks like we are digidestined after all." Gold said.
"Yeah. I guess so. But who would be our partners?"
"Us down here." Said a voice. Gold and Platinum jumped from the surprise. They turned and looked down to see two new Digimon that weren't there before. One was like a lion, but it had red fur and walked on two legs. It also had wristbands on with a strange symbol on it, similar to the one on his forehead. "I'm Coronamon Gold. It's nice to finally meet you partner!" Coronamon said with a bright smile.
The other Digimon had red fur and patches of blue, a fan like tail which was now closed and a pair of blue eyes. "I'm Elecmon Lady Platinum. And I'm your partner."
"Our partners?!" Gold and Platinum said exasperated.
"Yup. That's us." Coronamon went on, "It has been forever since we've been out of there."
"Out of where?"
"It was a seal keeping us trapped inside here. But you broke it just by touching the digivices. And we appeared before your side right now."
"Now who would place the seal?" Platinum inquired. Before she received an answer, the cave began to shake and crumble.
"Oh no, he knows we're in here!" Gold gasped.
Platinum then fell to her knees and held herself. "Why won't he stop?" She asked almost sounding like a sob, "I wish he'd stop..."
"There there Lady," Elecmon said, trying to comfort the panicking girl , "We'll be alright. I promise you."
"Thank you Elecmon," Platinum said, "But unless we get out of this cave soon, we'll be crushed from the rubble, or a hole will open and ExVeemon will corner us."
"Not unless we digivolve." Coronamon pointed out.
"That's easier said than done." Gold said, "How are you gonna digivolve without the right-" More rubble began to fall as the pyramid caved in. The debris was going to crush all of them.
But the digivices soon glowed again. And so did the two digimon. "Coronamon digvolve to... Firamon!"
"Elecmon digivolve to... Leomon!" Firamon had the same color scheme as his previous form but looked more like a lion from the real world. He now had wings to accompany his new form and a golden mane now. Leomon was also a lion-like Digimon except he now bipedal and wore black jeans. He had a good build for a Digimon and he had a blade strapped to his belt.
"Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon said as he sent a sort of projectile at the stones, it was in the shape of a lion's head and it was orange. The attack turned the debris to nothing but dust.
"OK. Now get on!" Firamon ordered.
"You heard the 'mon!" Gold said. He hopped on Firamon's back and helped Platinum up. Once they were now sitting Firamon took off and flew out of the newly formed hole, only to meet ExVeemon blocking the way.
"Fira Claw!" Firamon cried. His claw became enveloped in flame and he struck ExVeemon out of the way. Once they were a good distance away Firamon turned around but didn't try and strike again.
"We're going to try and explain ourselves this time." Gold said, with much more confidence than he did last time.
"Alright."
"ExVeemon," Gold cried out, "We're not the threat here. Look." Gold held out the digivice for the Digimon to see.
"How do I know you're not lying and that's a fake?"
"Geez man." Gold sighed, "You're WAY to cautious for a couple of kids with Digimon partners'. Or friends. Whichever works."
"He is right." Leomon said walking over to ExVeemon.
"Believe them. They are not the enemy. In fact, they are the ones who freed us." Firamon told the dragon Digimon.
"Hmm..."
"Oh come on." Gold sighed again, this time just growing straight out tired of his thinking, "Why are you thinking so hard? Do you want to believe us? If yes, then trust us. If no, don't trust us. Because honestly, you're definitely putting too much thought on the situation. It's one of feeling, not of facts."
"Gold." Platinum said, "As much of a 'facts' person I am. I agree with you completely."
"See? Even our bookworm can tell you just by feeling!"
"Somehow I get the feeling That you say that a lot about me..." Platinum added.
"Ya see?" Gold asked. Leomon by now had jumped up and de-digivolved back into Elecmon and in Platinum's arms. ExVeemon still didn't know what to do.
"Gold," Firamon said, "Let's get out of here now. Leave the Digimon to his thoughts."
"Right." Gold said. Firamon then turned and flew off. To where, they knew not. All they had to do was get away from ExVeemon for a while.
