Chapter 1: Deep Seas and Dark Tunnels
Somewhere in a lab alarms began blaring as a man rushed down a hallway and into a room with a holding container that was busted open "oh no, he took it..." the man was distressed but he composed himself and spoke aloud "find him...and kill him" a cloaked figure behind him nodded and a glowing red light beamed behind it.
Taikei opened his eyes to the sea, he was underneath the water's surface and watched as green light broke through the darkness of the water and with each stroke of light a figure became more clear, a figure clad in armor was now visible and Taikei felt fear fill his body. The figure began moving towards him, reaching out and breaking the surface of the water, the hand encompassed Taikei's entire being and covered him in darkness.
Taikei shot up from his bed in a cold sweat, he removed his sheets and sat up on the edge of his bed, he looked at his phone, he hadn't even slept a minute, it was still 23:23 "what the hell?" He whispered to himself in confusion. Taikei put on his pants and opened his bedroom door "mom? Dad? Mia?" He called out into the dark hallway with no response, he walked through the hallway and down the stairs to the living room to find the TV on and emitting static, the static had a blue hue to it.
Taikei grabbed the remote and tried to turn it off but instead the picture cleared up to reveal a massive open field of grass with burn marks and smoking craters littering it. Suddenly a massive foot appeared onscreen causing the screen and even Taikei's house to shake, another pair of massive feet appeared and the two giants began to fight, Taikei fell back onto the couch "whoa" he muttered as he watched the two figures maneuver between eachother moving away from the screen where Taikei could get a better look at them, one was the figure from his dream, it's armor was black with gold outline and a red gem on its head while the other was clad in blue armor with dragon-like wings and a golden V-shape on its chest, the black armored one knocked the blue one down infront of the TV, the creature looked directly at Taikei and its hand began reaching through the TV and into Taikei's house.
Taikei backed away from the massive hand forcing its way into his home. While the blue one struggled, the black monster approached with a massive blade in its hand and impaled the blue one without a second thought, the blue creature began to disappear and Taikei looked on in disbelief as the giant looked at him and uttered something "protect it" and it began transferring a series of codes through its fingertip and it started to form an egg-like object on it. The object gained a blue color and dropped from the finger and the giant creature faded away.
Taikei grabbed the egg and backed away as the black armored one looked at him through the screen, it tried reaching through but it was blocked by something. The giant walked away and Taikei breathed a sigh of relief as the TV illuminated the room when suddenly a massive hand reached through his TV and towards him.
Taikei woke up in his bed again, his breatha felt hot and his chest was burning "man, what dream" he said to himself. Taikei felt his forehead and stated to himself "most exciting thing I've experienced all summer" he inspected himself and saw a massive lump at the end of his covers, he threw off the covers to reveal the egg from his dream. Taikei grabbed the egg and turned it in his hands when a knock on the door caused him to drop but quickly caught the object, a female voice from behind the door called for Taikei "hey Tai, mom said to come down for breakfast". Taikei wiped off the sweat from his forehead and responded "I'll be there in a minute" he took the egg and hid it underneath his bed and dressed himself. He opened his door and made his way down the stairs where his family was eating breakfast, his father was reading a newspaper and his sister and mother were putting down plates of fiod, Taikei sat down and began to eat fast, his mother noticed this "wow Taikei, you seem to have an appetite this morning" Taikei looked at her with a fish hanging out of his mouth and nodded quickly continued eating with vigorous speed.
Taikei's father looked at Taikei and said "Taikei, I want you to go out and find a summer job today" Taikei almost choked and looked at him then at his mother who just closed her eyes and kept eating. Taikei swallowed and responded "well I've already tried looking for one but if you haven't noticed, the job market in this town isn't the most forgiving" his father made a noise with his mouth "you're just making excuses for your laziness" his mother kicked his father in the shin to shut him up and finally spoke up "Taikei, it wouldn't hurt to atleast go outside and search for one today but you can go at your own pace" his older sister, Maki, decided to interject "you always baby him mom" Taikei shot a glare at her and she sneered at him. Taikei's mother cleared her throat "I baby both of you, it took you two years to find your job did it not?" Maki blushed in embarrassment and kept eating.
Taikei got up abruptly "May I be excused from the table?!" He exclaimed surprising his family, his mother nodded nervously and Taikei ran up the stairs and into his room, he knew something was amiss. He looked underneath his bed to find the egg broken open and a trail of shell scraps leading to an open bag of chips that was shaking with a high pitched growling sound coming from it. Crumbs flew out of the bag as it shook, Taikei reached out and grabbed it causing the entity inside of it to freak out and shoot out of the bag and onto the center of the floor, Taikei approached it, it was a pale blue blob with a horn-like protrusion on top of its head. Taikei reached out and it turned around and snapped at him, Taikei jumped back and saw the tiny creature flash it's teeth at him. Taikei looked around and saw an intact potato chip next to him, he picked it up and presented it to the tiny monster, it stopped growling and sniffed the chip, in the blink of an eye it snatched the chip and crunched it up quickly "huh, you're just hungry aren't you? Hmmm, I'll get you something better than chips".
Taikei made his way downstairs where his father and sister were leaving for work and his mother was packing up the leftover breakfast. Taikei grabbed two bowls and filled one up with rice and the other with miso soup, he grabbed a couple pieces of omelette and fish and rushed back upstairs "sorry mom, gotta eat in my room, I've got a Summer Paper to do" his mother stuttered "o-okay honey, don't stress yourself out" Taikei shut his door and locked it. Taikei put the bowls on his desk aswell as the creature, he picked up a piece of rice and omelette and presented it, the creature ate the food happily and waited patiently for another bite. Taikei kept feeding the creature and enjoying its company "you're actually kinda cute, I wish I knew what you were" the creature just happily chewed its food while it listened.
About an hour passed when Taikei noticed something about the tiny creature, it began to grow in size and soon morphed into a new form, it had two horns and actual limbs. Taikei picked up the creature "wow, that's new, you seem heavier too" suddenly a crashing sound from downstairs alerted Taikei, he looked out his window to see multiple armed men entering his house and shouting from downstairs coming from his mom. Taikei almost opened the door but he stopped himself "they must be after you little guy, let's get out of here" he grabbed his backpack and put the blue creature into it "hang on little guy, I'm gonna get you out of here" he silently opened the window and leaped out while closing it as he heard the door to his room get breached. Taikei ran through the around his house leaping over power boxes and jumping rails until he made his way to a plaza with two staircases on either end and a railing, he looked behind him to see the same armed men approaching him "how did they find me?!" He questioned, he looked up to see a helicopter hovering overhead "oh crap" he uttered.
Taikei rushed towards the stairs when he saw more men coming up and even more coming up the other staircase. Taikei put his back to the railing as the personnel surrounded him, one of them brought out handcuffs and approached Taikei. The man was about to rush when Taikei's backpack began to violently shake. One of the men talked into his radio "Code Ultraviolet, we may require a Bright" suddenly the backpack burst open and the blue creature landed now even bigger than before with larger arms and standing at a solid three feet tall and now a more vibrant blue with a small golden V on its forehead.
The creature stood there for a solid couple of seconds before disappearing and with a blue and white blur multiple operatives were knocked into the air and their weapons snapped in half in midair. The creature reappeared infront of Taikei and looked at him, it suddenly spoke "you have my utmost gratitude for protecting me while I regenerated but now I must leave, in order to save my world and yours I must-" before it could finish, it was struck by a massive surge of lightning and caused it to lose consciousness, Taikei looked where it came from and saw a red beetle-like creature, it was hovering above the ground and had large sickle-like claws and large green eyes. It then proceeded to blast Taikei and knock him out aswell. The last thing Taikei saw were three human figures standing above him while one of them stated "he has it" as his vision whitened and he lost consciousness.
Taikei slowly woke up with his vision slowly improving. He attempted to move but found himself restrained to a chair with mechanical clamps bounding his wrists and ankles, Taikei began to wriggle attempting to get free but he was stopped by a voice coming from the other end of the room. Taikei looked where the voice came from to see a man in a large trenchcoat and sunglasses, he had scars on his face and his hair was long and bone white that was tied up behind his head. Taikei looked directly at him and breathed heavily out of nervousness, for what seemed like forever they just stared at eachother until Taikei tried to break the silence "w-who are you?" He questioned but got no response from the menacing figure.
Another minute passed when the man got up from his chair and walked towards Taikei, Taikei leaned back as the man approached, the man then uttered a question "did you know that every action causes an equal and opposite reaction?" Taikei thought for a moment and nodded and the man continued "and so you understand what kind of actions can cause the most powerful reactions right?!" His voice was getting louder and more aggrivated. Taikei nodded his head visibly shooken with fear, the man further continued with the tirade "and so you know your actions have caused a massive reaction that the world may not be able to deal with. Am I correct?!" Taikei was confused at this point not knowing how to respond. The man moved quickly and grabbed onto the arms of Taikei's chair "if it were up to me, I would have you labotomized and sent to an asylum" he moved off of Taikei and paced away "but the higher ups have decided that you're more useful as an asset as you've bonded with the Digimon you encountered, obviously this Digimon is more important than you can imagine and so by proxy...you're more important than you imagine".
The man finally introduced himself "as of now you will call me Director Moriymoto and Sir, your employment and training starts in two hours" before Taikei could respond Moriymoto pressed a button that was on a keypad on one of the walls and the white room they were in began dropping like an elevator. After a couple minutes the elevator stopped and the wall to the left of Taikei opened revealing a woman with violet hair done up in a bun wearing a black business suit and glasses, she entered the elevator and gave Moriymoto a file "here's the evaluation of the Veemon that was brought in, everything seemed fine until the mental evaluation, unfortunately that shock from Agent Tentomon was more intense to the subject considering the time of reformation and its mental data was scrambled and its memory has been nearly erased except for knowing the boy and him feeding the subject". Moriymoto sighed and responded "well, at least it's in our custody and so is Taikei so they're safe for now".
Moriymoto pulled out a remote and pressed a green button causing Taikei's restraints to open and free him, Taikei sat up and felt his wrists "what happened to my mom?" Taikei asked with a stern voice, Moriymoto responded "your mother is fine, we've made repairs to your house and your mother will not remember a thing, unfortunately you cannot tell anyone about this place, your employment, or Digimon. In return you will receive lodging if you so prefer, a paycheck based on how well you do on your missions, and the best healthcare we can offer" Taikei walked up to Moriymoto and asked "so what is this place?" Moriymoto answered while guiding Taikei through the facility "we are inside an organization called DATS, an oraganization that works to protect the barrier between the Real World and the Digital World and to ensure the ignorance of Digimon and their World remains in the general public, unfortunately that was spoiled by Marcus Damon some several years ago, this job is not easy, there will be peril and you will risk your life". Taikei stopped and asked "where do I sign?" Moriymoto cracked a smirk "you already have, welcome to DATS, Taikei Nakamura".
