[spoiler=[b]Digimon Appearance:[/b]] -> [spoiler=[b]Prologue[/b]]Operation 0: RescueIt was a beautiful Saturday, the first day of Summer Vacation too. I had my entire summer planned out; spend time with friends, finish my homework early this time, if I have free time spend it on the net, but more importantly become part of something big. But…….for the first time in 3 years my family decided to take a vacation and of all places to the old campgrounds. Of course like any other teenager who’s had their phone taken away, I find myself bored to death just staring out the car window. “Dawn if you want you can use my laptop.” “Really!? Thanks dad!” Saved, finally a way to get rid of my boredom and I may find that thing again… Thinking back it is still actually pretty weird. It happened only one week ago. I was finishing up my homework on the computer when an animated egg popped up on the screen. “Oh great a virus, easy enough to delete.” When I was about to trash it the craziest thing happened. “To the trash you go….Wait it….it hatched!? What in the world is this thing, it looks like a funny helmet wearing bat?” The worst part about that was it ate my homework. “Hmmmmm…” I had to start all over too. “Here we are everyone ready to go?” My mom asked over excitedly as we came into view. As we slowed to a stop I realized that nobody else was there. “We’re all alone today, what a weird feeling.” I said taking in the beautiful forest scenery. Both my parents started to unpack the car and set up the picnic things when I realized I forgot to turn the laptop off. “I’ll be right back.” I told my mom as I hurried back to the car. When I got there I simply grabbed it and was about to hit the power button when I noticed one of dad’s programs came up. Usually I wouldn’t pay any attention but this wasn’t like the others; it was showing a chart with readings going sky high and a ringing noise that sounded a lot like emergency bells. Without a second thought I grabbed the laptop and ran back to my parents. When I got there I was out of breath (I still don’t know why I ran) and trying to explain what happened before handing over the laptop. “D…da….dad something is….something is wrong with the computer.” I told him handing over the laptop finally getting my breath back. It was an unsettling and eerie feeling see my smiling dad’s face turn into a shock of disbelief and horror. I can’t really remember how he tried to explain it, something about digital pulses and materialization. I have never seen anyone type as fast as he did after that, you would have thought he himself was a computer. Suddenly the wind picked up and a beautiful aurora appeared in the sky. My parents and I stared at it; my dad had stopped typing having given up. As we looked on a bright flash on the ground made me cover my face with my arms, temporarily blinding me. When the light faded I put my arms down to see the same bat like thing hovering….but it was real! “Well, well, well, so this is the human world not bad. It’ll do nicely for my master.” The bat said. My mom screamed as it spoke, to be honest if I could’ve said anything I would’ve screamed too. The bat turned towards us and snickered revealing its bright yellow eyes, sharp teeth, and a skull in the middle of its forehead. It spoke again introducing itself as DemiDevimon. My dad had moved in front of me and had found a branch to fight the little bat. To which the bat simply laughed off and brought out a huge dart from behind its back. The bat flew up and then drove straight towards dad yelling, “Demi Dart!” I guess out of instinct I turned and grabbed the picnic basket and threw it as hard as I could at the thing. With DemiDevimon still yelling the food hit his foot making him drop the dart. He turned to me as my dad took a massive swing and when hit sent the monster flying straight into a tree. As my family cheered the creature stood back up with the worst laugh I had ever heard. “You think a weak human can beat a digimon? Think again….” As he said that he started glowing a bright white and dad’s computer made a louder sound. “DemiDevimon digivolve to………..Devimon!” The bat howled, sadistically. After the light faded the bat was gone! But even worse a vampire took its place! This time no one screamed or even made a sound, that thing had just transformed… “Now humans get ready to feel the true power of the digital world.” Devimon said as he approached slowly. My dad charged at it and took another swing at it. The vampire easily smashed it and hit dad into the air and across the picnic table. As the ‘digimon’ laughed he came towards me and my mom, but not before another one of dad’s programs popped up and started making a chirping sound. With the aurora still in the sky the wind picked up again but it wasn’t like the first one. Devimon also had stopped and was confused by what was happening. All of a sudden it all stopped and everything was silent. The vampire turned his attention back to us and took one step before it happened….. It had the sound of the old sci-fi films when the aliens were being beamed to their ship but it looked like a rippling of water, but it was right over our heads! Soon enough my day got even weirder when a boy and another monster fell from the ripple in the sky. With a loud thud the black haired, oddly dressed boy hit the ground. “That defiantly didn’t go as planned.” He said as he got up with his hand on his head. The creature that came with him used its ears to fly up and land on his shoulder. It wasn’t a scary one either; actually it was pretty cute looking. Just then he looked around, his eyes went over my mom, then my dad, and finally me. When he looked at me he winked and smiled saying. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything, haha.” Nobody moved, but shaking uncontrollably I managed to lift my hand and point at the vampire. To my surprise when the boy turned around all he did was shrug his shoulders and say. “You’ve gotta be kidding me. Get ready Friendmon, here we go again.” After that he simply let the creature off his shoulder and took what looked like a fighting stance. Meanwhile the vampire smiled and drew back his arm, “Touch of Evil!” Devimon launched his arm at the strange boy. Without a flinch he stood waiting to be hit, I held my breath. His ‘digimon’ jumped up and shouted, “Friend Shield!” With that the arm continued towards him but at the last second hit an invisible wall! The vampire cringed as his attacked was blocked and the boy stood still in his confident, smiling, stance. “It’s time I went back to report; you got lucky this time boy.” Devimon mumbles and with a wave of his hand vanishes in an instant. I also noticed the aurora in the sky disappeared. The boy looked surprised and lifted Friendmon onto his shoulders with a “Hmph.” With his back still towards us and my family’s eyes still glued to him he takes in a deep breath and exhales. He moves one foot preparing to turn around, but the rippling sky came back. He looked into the sky just in time for two more people and ANOTHER creature to fall right on him. After the dust that was kicked up settled the confident boy was under the two others, and something that looked like Robin Hood. “GET OFF OF ME! What are you guys doing here anyway?” He protested.“Don’t be like that, we came to help.” The green haired boy said smiling as he rolled off what seemed to be his friend. “Yeah, we are on the same team AND I am responsible for you.” The serious blonde boy said as he dusted himself off. When he found himself clean enough he smacked the first one on the back of the head. “What were you thinking taking the time traveler? This wasn’t our assignment you know?” “Owww, you didn’t need to hit me. Besides we can’t get in trouble because nobody we know exists yet.” He proclaimed ending with a chuckle. With another smack to the back of the head the leader looks our way and lets out a big sigh. He walks over to my dad and holds out his hand, “My name is Ivan Tenkuu, that is Will Midori, and you might have already met Jacob Mikomi. This may all seem like a dream but if you would kindly allow us some of your time, we can explain everything.” ….When the day began I had my whole summer planned out; spend time with friends, finish my homework early, if I have free time spend it on the net, and more importantly become part of something big. Right now I’m standing face to face with three boys my age and two monsters. It really makes me want to rethink my summer plans……….

Legend Zero Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 [align=center][spoiler=[b]Intro Arc[/b]][spoiler=[b]Chapter 1[/b]]Operation: Explanation .: Apartment: Tokyo, Japan :. A beam of sunlight peeps through a crack of a blind, streaming into a bedroom. The light falls onto the eyes of a teenage girl, lying in bed. She groans upon waking, the light being too strong for her eyes, she turns over to adjust her eyes to the morning sun. The brown haired girl manages to finally get up from her bed. Wearing a plain white T-shirt and dark navy shorts she opens her door. As she slowly walks through the hallway she manages a powerful yawn, trying to force herself awake. She staggers into the kitchen and opens the refrigerator door, grabbing a small bottle of orange juice. As she gulps down the refreshing beverage a faint sound is heard. Upon hearing this ungodly sound she sits the bottle down and looks into the living room. A look of complete dissatisfaction overcomes the teen as she sees a perfectly empty room, two perfectly folded sleeping bags, and the source of the sound…. In the far sleeping bag was a black haired, smiling, teenage boy. This boy was Jacob Mikomi the boy who had saved this girl and her family only one day ago. Along with his two friends, Ivan and Will, they managed to convince her parents to let them stay at their place. Of course she was grateful for being rescued but this was too much, she needed a little payback. As Dawn continues to watch the odd boy sleep a dark smile crosses her face, an idea that will at least start to even things up. Dawn, now wide awake, half jogs back to the kitchen and grabs a navy and white can entitled ‘Whip Cream’. The smile even broader now as she heads back to the living room all the while is shaking the can. She now stands above Jacob with her menacing grin and gets on her knees. She sprays the whip cream onto the boy’s right hand anticipating the enjoyment of her prank. She sets the can aside and very gently crosses the boy’s face with her finger. The teen stirs and groans at the girl’s antagonizing but remains sleeping. Enjoying the moment like a cat with a mouse, Dawn tries again. As Jacob moves about he brings up his left hand and rubs his face. Frustrated now Dawn tries again one last time and without thinking flicks her new roommate. She jumps back quickly thinking of an excuse as Jacob twitches and opens is eyes halfway, looking straight at Dawn. “What are you doing? Do you know how early it is?” Jacob asks in a drowsy voice. Dawn now burning from the embarrassment quickly thinks of a way out. “Well, ah…ah…You have something on your face and I was getting it off.” The teen girl now looking at Jacob’s right hand half scared and half still wanting a perfect prank. Still lying down, unmoved, Jacob’s eyes widened as he stared at the brown haired girl. “Oh really, well you got something on your face too.” Stunned at the utter stupidity of herself, Dawn panics, ashamed she forgot to look in the mirror this morning. “Wha!? Where is it at?” Dawn squirms and fidgets frantically running her fingers through her face. As the terrified girl gets frustrated to a point of almost rage Jacob places his left hand on her shoulder. “If it’s that big of a deal let me get it.” Jacob quickly lifts his other arm and rises off the floor. The last thing Dawn heard before getting hit with whip cream was a boy’s chuckling voice. “Gotcha!” .: Dr. Tears’ Lab :. In a massive complex dead in the middle of the city many adults are scurrying around in lab coats. But up on the top floor two teenage boys are checking out the scenery. “Whoa, this view is pretty cool huh Ivan?” A green haired boy asks his friend. The other boy put his hand on the window, his blonde hair falling in front of his eyes. “They have no idea of the terror and destruction that awaits them.” “So how do you find my lab?” Will and Ivan turn to face Dr. Tears coming down the stairs dressed as every other scientist. Will still smiling walks to the doc with Ivan following his lead. “To tell you the truth it’s pretty much out of date to us, but I think I can make it work.” The over jolly teen proclaims. Dr. Tears a little disappointed continues on. “Anything I can do to help, you bet I’ll do it. This is for the future of humanity right?” “You’re too kind Dr. Although I am surprised on how quickly you accepted our story.” Ivan said shaking the Dr.’s hand. “Oh no trouble at all, the most difficult part was convincing my wife to let you three stay with us. But after all you did save our lives.” He exclaimed with a faint chuckle. .: Streets of Tokyo :. “I can’t believe I have to go with you!” Dawn growled as she walked beside Jacob. “You can deliver this to my dad by yourself, besides after what you did earlier.” “It’s your fault you know? You shouldn’t have tried pulling the oldest trick in the book.” “Well with you being from….well you know where, I figured you wouldn’t understand even the oldest of tricks.” She said, finally cooling down from the morning. “In the future the oldest trick is still the oldest trick.” Jacob says half apologetically as he puts his hands behind his head.Dawn begins thinking back to how Jacob saved her from Devimon with the help of his own digimon. “Hey Jacob, where is Friendmon anyway?” The young hero puts his arms down and looks around suspiciously. “He is right here.” Just then the small white and black tipped digimon jumps out from behind and lands on Jacob’s shoulder. “AHHH!!!” Dawn jumps back attracting the eyes of many passerby’s. “What are you thinking?” She shouts now pointing at the creature. Jacob now looking around at all the glares the loudmouth attracted. With a disappointed tone he tries to bypass the situation. “Geez, if you don’t like stuffed animals then just say so. I guess you won’t be getting one then.” .: Dr. Tears’ Lab :.In the technology ridden room Will is busily typing away. Meanwhile Ivan and Dr. Tears are staring in awe behind the boy. “In-Incredible, I’ve never seen anyone this talented. How is this possible?” The scientist stutters trying to fathom the boy’s unnatural talent. “That’s our Will, one of the best computer engineers the Digital Protector’s have.” The blonde teen announces with a proud voice. “With him at the keyboard it’s only a matter of time until we’re able to get there.” “By ‘there’ you mean the Digital World, the home to those creatures?” Mr. Tears interrupts. “Yeah, the Digital World will be dangerous but we need to find info as to where the Demon Lords are located.” “You kids know more about this then anyone here at this lab, but I do wish you didn’t have to put yourselves in this kind of situation.” With the final, loud, stroke of the key Will turns around. “Don’t worry we all signed up. Well not for this exact mission but you know what I mean. By the way it’s going to take awhile to find a Digital Rift; we may not make the due date.” “Due date? What does that mean?” Dr. Tears inquires. “At the end of summer an event known as the ‘Awakening Light’ is said to occur. This event is said to be the initial cause for humans to discover the existence of digimon. With our meddling in the time stream it could become a problem if humanity misses this event.” The teen leader states while turning to the door. Standing in the doorway is Jacob and Dawn, the girl with a surprised expression. The small digimon on Jacob’s shoulder flies over to Ivan and with a huge smile and in a loud voice booms. “Hey Ivan is Hoodmon here?” “Yeah, hey Hoodmon its safe you can come out!” The teen calls out. One of the side doors in the lab opens revealing a small digimon whom is cloaked in red and green, upon entering a bow is seen attached to his left arm. “Thank you, it was getting cramped and lonely in there.” “Hoodmon! Hoodmon! Did you miss me?” The smaller digimon asks flying over and landing on the cloaked being. “Your enthusiasm always amazes me, but none the less yes I missed you.” Friendmon now with a sparkle in his eyes flies around the room shouting. As the others watch the hyperactive digimon’s spree Jacob reaches up and catches him. “Right… Now that that’s over with, what’s the plan?” Both Will and Ivan shrug out of ideas to pass the time until Dr. Tears intervenes. “You talked about how that bat one changed, would you mind explaining that?” The three boys stare blankly at each other. “Changed?” After a few moments of silence a light bulb goes off in Jacob’s head. “Oh you mean digivolving? When digimon get enough data or an intense enough emotion it has the ability to digivolve. Digivolving makes a digimon stronger and faster, think of it as upgrading to the next level. These ‘levels’ are known as Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, and finally Mega.” As Jacob stops, Will continues on. “The Digital Protectors use cards in order to digivolve up to Ultimate. Those who can’t digivolve are considered students in our time. Those with one card and can digivolve once are D rank Protectors. Those who Armor Digivolve, which is entirely different, are considered C rank Protectors. Then there’s us who have two cards and can digivolve to Ultimate which are considered B rank Protectors.” Will drops off as Ivan finishes the lecture. “Originally an A rank squad was suppose to come here, they would be able to digivolve to Mega.” Ivan now glaring at Jacob. “But with some unexpected events we were the ones who got sent.” Now returning his gaze back to the father and daughter he continues on. “Friendmon is a rookie and Hoodmon is a champion. We each choose are digimon based on our grades during school, except for Jacob.” All eyes shift from Ivan to Jacob and Friendmon. “Friendmon is the oldest digimon the Protectors have but as you can see he is a little too ‘wild’ for the battlefield. Somehow though Jacob is able to get the little guy to focus and fight.” “Woah.” “Simply fascinating.” The father and daughter exclaim together. Just then an alarm had signaled at the computer Will sat at. The three boys crowded the screen as the scientist and young girl stood behind trying to figure out the problem. “What’s going on?” The Dr. managed to say. But as the scientist was finishing the boys stood up and headed for the door, with their digimon following. “Do you mind giving us a ride? Another digimon will materialize within the hour.” The blonde leader said sternly closing the door behind him. [spoiler=[b]Chapter 2[/b]]Operation: Future Warriors .: Sunken Park :. The group arrives at the source of the disturbance indicated by Dr. Tears’ laptop. “So another one of those things will come here?” The brown haired girl now overcome with fear manages to mumble. With a slight nod Ivan inspects the area. He sees the lush greenery and the darkness that soon approaches with the sun beginning to set. The area still a little moist from the last rain seems to shine in some spots due to the orange tinted sun. “Will, do you have any ideas as to when this thing will materialize? If it’s not soon we might have to go in blindly.” The teen questions as he moves his blonde hair out from his navy eyes. “Yeah I kind of noticed that myself. No street lights are anywhere near here either. The only thing we’ll have to work with will be the Digital Rift.” Will now with his right hand under his chin tries to think as he sits himself down with the laptop in his lap. While the others still continue on searching the prominent sounds of rapid typing echoes throughout the seemingly empty park. “Digital Rift? There will be one here at this park?” The only adult inquires thinking back to his last experience with a digimon. “Yeah, you should have noticed it. It looks like a giant aurora; you did see one with Devimon right?” Answered the small cloaked digimon with an amused voice, while the three boys nodded in agreement. “So that’s what the aurora meant. But what’s a Digital Rift?” The teenage girl again mumbles looking around scared and suspiciously. “We already explained this to your dad but basically a Digital Rift is a rip in the natural barrier between Earth and the Digital World. In short, that aurora connects the two worlds.” The futuristic computer whiz explains still typing away at an amazing rate. Jacob is seen sitting on a low tree branch on a nearby tree as his digimon partner hovers slightly above him. With the rustling of the leaves and bushes as he hops down he brushes himself off casually before speaking. “Looks like nobody is anywhere near this place. Hopefully we can beat this thing before anyone notices.” The annoyed looking adolescent reports in with an indifferent tone. After 20 minutes of searching and waiting the group prepares to leave. “I still don’t understand why we aren’t going to stay?” Dawn ask finally back to her normal self since no digimon was seen. “The digimon could come at anytime right?” “That’s exactly why we are leaving. The barrier between the worlds is still very strong so it could take awhile for anything to come through. We can come back tomorrow but for now waiting in the dark is pointless.” The group leader retorts as he turns around getting ready to head back to the car. Hoodmon, Will, Dr. Tears, and Friendmon start heading back as well Dawn turns to Jacob in an attempt to not let their efforts be wasted. But to her surprise Jacob did not have the relaxed face she had always seen him with; instead he stood in the middle of the open field and with a grim expression stared at the sky. “Jacob, what is it?” Dawn ask as an uneasy feeling returned. The others had turned around as the gentle breezed began to pick up, as the sunset continues to fade as the inevitable darkness approaches. “Jacob come on its time to go.” The group’s leader demands, his blonde hair blowing in the constant wind. The mysterious boy’s gaze remains fixed on the sky. “Friendmon here it comes, get ready.” Jacob proclaims with an ominous tone. As soon as Jacob’s statement had concluded the laptop Will had earlier been typing away on began emitting an emergency alarm. The other two boys now had moved back into the field, Will at the far edge mashing away at the keyboard. The two digimon stood firmly beside their human counterparts ready to face whatever appeared. As the trio stood waiting the professor and his daughter had backed away onto the outskirts of the open plain. A magnificent aurora filled the sky; it was brilliant neon green and bright red twisted around a stream of shining silver. The wind continued to increase in power as the leaves began swirling in a vortex pattern. A giant flash of light strikes the ground expels, blinding the group. The light quickly dissolves and a menacing grumble is heard. The group unshields their eyes and the scientist, daughter pair is stunned. Before them is an adult height, green skinned and silvered haired ghoul. The monster’s teeth are sharp and displaced; two slender horns protrude from the top of his head and is wearing nothing but alternating red and black ankle and wrist bands with jet black shorts. His stance is that of what a caveman’s would be, carrying a spiked bone club. “So this is the Human World that Devimon spoke of? Ah and there are the humans he said would greet me also.” The evil digimon said upon laying eyes on the kids. The team consisting of Jacob, Ivan, and their digimon stand confidently against the new arrival. “Looks like we got ourselves an ugly one huh?” Jacob boasts standing at the front. “Hmph. We have to face Ogremon…Here I thought we weren’t going to be wasting time.” Ivan condescendingly says to the ghoul. The infuriated digimon madly stomps his feet. “How dare you humans mock me!” The digimon broke into a swift run and approached the team. “You humans have no shame!” “I’ll handle this one, okay?” Jacob tells his leader then nods to Friendmon. The over enthused digimon jumped into the air and with a summersault screamed, “Friend Shield!” When Ogremon got within distance he took a swing with his club. “Pummel Whack!” As the club came inches within Jacob’s face it was blocked by the same invisible wall as before. Behind it the teen stood smiling boldly. The green beast jumped back and managed to give an evil smile. “Devimon was right, that shield is annoying. But no matter you can’t be a coward forever.” Growled Ogremon with a sinister laugh. “What’s going to happen now?” Dawn whispered to Will. “This is where things get fun.” Jacob turned slightly to nod again at his digimon partner. Friendmon then took flight and hovered a few feet off the ground and nodded back to his human ally. With that Jacob took off at full speed towards Ogremon. Dr. Tears and Dawn gasp loudly at the action taken by the Protector. “Alright let’s see how you fight.” Jacob said as he charged the digital creature. Ogremon was taken by surprised but quickly recovers is mind set and pats himself on the chin waiting to be hit. With a broad grin Jacob reaches the grotesque creature and throws a hard right. With a loud smack the punch lands right on the green digimon’s chest but the result is not even a budge. As Ogremon continues to smile and chuckle flaunting his superiority, Jacob rears back for another punch. Just before impact Friendmon’s voice rings through the empty field. “Friend Shield!” The left fist of Jacob, covered by his digimon’s attack, connects with Ogremon’s right cheek. The force of the hit sent the ghoul flying backwards, ramming into a tree. Dr. Tears’ jaw drops as his daughter’s shock and awe for the boy had finally earned himself some respect from Dawn. “Come on, get up…You’re not down for the count are you?” Ogremon rises to his feet and wipes at his already brusing face. “So that’s your game is it? Only a human would result to a trick as low as that.” Barked the bitter digimon as he tightened his grip, ready to strike the boy at any moment.This time Ogremon made the move and charged at Jacob. Bringing back his right arm to swing his club the veins along his arm begin popping out, showing that he isn’t holding back. “Pummel Whack!” “Will he be alright?” Dawn again ask the boy casually typing on the laptop. “He’ll be fine, all Protectors are required to know how to defend themselves.” By now Ivan has his arms crossed, he and his digimon looking annoyed and a bit bored. Meanwhile Dr. Tears began jotting down various notes. Orgemon reached about two feet from the Protector he made his attack. As the bone club made a broad horizontal swing the boy ducks just in time, “Friend Shield!”, and comes up strong with a hard fist to the digimon’s gut. Ogremon now trying to regain some breath lossens his grip enough that Jacob knocks free his weapon. “Friend Shield!” He finishes up with an uppercut to the fiend, sending him soaring a few feet backwards howling in pain. Still smiling Jacob turns around and gives a thumbs up to the rest. “Easy enough.” Now with his hands in his pocket and his digimon on his shoulder Jacob starts heading back to the others. However Ogremon returns to his feet and begins rushing toward the cocky kid. Dawn screams in terror as the ghoul nears him. Ogremon reaches out his arm preparing to grab Jacob by the throat. “Now!” A strong voice calls out. “Right.” The cloaked digimon retorts as he takes a firing stance. “Apollo’s Arrow!” As Ogremon comes within inches of Jacob’s still calm face an arrow strikes the Champion level. Ogremon falls and begins disintegrating into tiny sparkles. Looking unfazed by the digimon’s final stand, Jacob turns to watch Ogremon being deleted. He kneels down beside the helpless creature. “Where are the Demon Lords hiding?” “What’s happening?” Inquires the scientist. “This is what happens to digimon that die. Since they are essentially just data that is what they return to, plain data. This process is known as ‘deleting’ because the digimon is permanently gone and cannot be restored. ” Will states sternly.“What does it matter you’ll all be dead soon enough. Long live digimon and long live the Demon Lords.” The creature whispers as what’s left of him burst into data. .: Apartment: Tokyo, Japan :. Everyone is sitting around the table, enjoying the breakfast made by Mrs. Tears. The well lit apartment shows the relaxed and happy faces of the teen boys while the Dr. and his daughter have a very perplexed expression. After finishing a bite Ivan wonders what is on their minds. “What’s wrong, you don’t seem to be all here?” “Well…” The professor begins mournfully. “Is it alright what you did? That was a living creature and without trying to talk with it and understand it you started a fight. In the end that digimon died and we’re here celebrating.” With a sigh Ivan stops eating and places his elbows on the table and hands under his chin. In a sort of ominous way he begins to explain, the room now completely silent. “I absolutely agree with you and I assume that’s what been on both your minds. During the beginning humans tried it your way, they tried to understand and they tried to communicate. The result of that is one third of human life eradicated within 50 years.” “We tried talking it out and it got people killed and lives ruined. Now is the time for action instead of talking…” Jacob says cynically as he gets up and leaves the room. As the remaining members continue their meal in silence Jacob sits atop the apartment complex, the cool morning breeze blowing gently. As the sun makes its rise the teen thinks back to his past. He stands up stretching out and with a loud yawn. “This time will be different…I’ll personally make sure of it.” [spoiler=[b]Chapter 3[/b]]Operation: Friends and Fighting .: Apartment: Tokyo, Japan :. It is midday as Dawn and Mrs. Tears are in the kitchen observing in silence the boy standing at the counter, Jacob. With an appetizing aroma filling the apartment and the familiar sounds of cooking Jacob lets out a sigh and turns around to the girls. “And that’s how it’s done.” The teen says in a proud tone. The mother and daughter look behind him to see the beautiful lunch that he prepared. With sparkles in their eyes they completely bypass him and move to take a bite. As they take the first sip of the stew both manage to give out a squeal of joy. “This is so delicious.” They sang in unison as they continued to eat. “Wow, you two are worse than Friendmon and Will.” He tells them in an amused voice. The two pay no mind to Jacob’s insults. Jacob begins to leave the kitchen when he hears the creaking of a door opening. Filing in are Dr. Tears, Will, Ivan, Friendmon, and Hoodmon all overcome with exhaustion. Friendmon flies onto his partner’s shoulder and closes his eyes, drifting off. The three humans trot over to the couch and plop down groaning the whole time. The girls now now move into the living room to scold the boys. “This is what you get for staying out all night.” Dawn begins with a condescending tone. “It is important for you to get proper sleep.” The mother figure said, disappointed. The two teen boys had completely tuned out their surroundings as they started to fall asleep, Dr. Tears loudly yawns and nods in agreement with his wife and daughter. “By the way honey can you go to the lab and pick up my laptop? I forgot to pick it up at the maintenance department on the way back.” The scientist says drowsily to his child. “Fine.” The teen girl groans with a snobby attitude. “I’ll go to.” Jacob announces cheerfully as he raises his hand. “What!? I don’t want to go with you!” “Why not? I still don’t know much about this city so I want to site see so to speak.” “That’s a great idea.” Mrs. Tears says as she goes into another room. She emerges with a list and hands it to Dawn gleefully. “This is a shopping list and I want you two to pick this stuff up on the way.” Dawn grabs the list and the back of Jacob’s shirt and pulls him to the door, with his digimon still sleeping on his shoulder. .: Streets: Tokyo, Japan :. The beautiful sunny day has made the streets of Tokyo overflow with people. Among these are Dawn and Jacob, the boy with a relaxed atmosphere and the girl in a suspicious mood. She is looking around quickly and appearing nervous. “What’s wrong with you?” Jacob asks noticing her actions. She quickly turns from nervous to angry. “It’s your fault! What if I’m seen by someone I know walking with you?” Not catching the rhetorical part of the question Jacob spits out an answer. “Well you could say the truth; that we’re going to pick up some things.” “You’re a complete moron aren’t you? My mom only sent us to get food so she could taste more of your cooking.” The depressed girl breaks to the boy. Jacob, taking Dawn’s previous statement as a compliment, starts looking around amazed. “There are so many tall buildings and people. It’s nothing like the future at all.” Dawn back to quickly looking around begins to think about what the future is like. This sidetracks her scouting until she hears the calling of familiar voices. “DAWN! Over here!” “Oh no.” Dawn manages to mumble as she turns around to see not one but two of her classmates, Joan and Leo. As the two walk up to Dawn they abruptly notice the futuristic boy. The girl grabs Dawn’s hands and whispers to her, blushing. “I’m sorry I didn’t know you were on a date.” The blonde female teen said with an obvious French accent. Now also blushing Dawn pulls her hands away. “Not in a million years would I ever consider!” She begins as she then notices the two boys staring at each other. The new arrival was around the same age but had an emotionless expression. His hair is long and brown covering most of his face. One could manage to see the bright green of his eyes. Wearing black pants and muscle shirt he stares straight at Jacob. Determined to not back down Jacob glares back trying to study the new boy. “Jacob stop staring at Leo. You’re embarrassing me!” Dawn demands. As the staring continues Friendmon abruptly comes alive and jumps into the air and hovers. “Jacob I feel a digimon nearby.” The faces of the four freeze in a shocked expression. Friendmon looks around and realizes where he is. The small digimon quickly retreats to Jacob’s shoulder, hiding his face with its ears. “Oops.” .: Parking Complex: Tokyo, Japan :. After the quick introductions and explanations the now group of four have determined the location of the soon to arrive digimon. The group scans around the old, empty, rundown parking garage to find nothing more than dust and spider webs. The blank stone walls give a cold, eerie, sensation as they scan the place. With Jacob and Friendmon leading they ascend level after level looking for the anything unusual. The blonde haired shy girl, Joan, is clinging tightly to Dawn. “So you’re saying a monster will appear and attack us?” She says frightened. “You actually believe this guy? Electronic monsters are impossible.” Leo mumbles to himself in a cold manner. Jacob continues to glance, amused by the new company. “You have interesting friends, Dawn.” He says with a chuckle. “Interesting is a nice way of saying weird.” Leo mumbles again. As the group reaches the seventh floor they all manage to see the bright glow. Leo and Joan are stunned in seeing that an aurora is the cause of the glow. Dawn notices this aurora is different than the previous, instead of multi-colored this aurora consist of bright yellow twisting around a white strand of light. Friendmon jumps up off his partner’s shoulders and hovers in front of the others. “A digimon has already come through the Rift.” Jacob turns to Dawn and instructs her, losing his smile. “Get them out of here.” Dawn nods and grabs Leo’s and Joan’s arm and sprints for the stairs. When Leo reaches for the doorknob he is electrified and shocked, sending him to the ground. Hearing the screams of the girls Jacob realizes that they have been noticed and it will be impossible for them to leave. The two girls help Leo up as a crude laughter echoes through the garage. Jacob and Friendmon glare around trying to identify the source of the laughter. Unable to escape Dawn and the others return to stand behind Jacob. The Protector waits patiently expecting an attack. As the laughing stops a small digimon emerges from the darkness. The black digimon, small and round, could be identified easily by the shining golden thunderbolt in its forehead. The digimon zooms around with tremendous speed. As the digimon bounces off walls sparks of electricity lighten the seventh floor. “Thunderballmon…”Jacob says under his breath. Jacob rushes the speedy ball and starts to throw punches. Thunderballmon easily dodges and taunts the teen fighter. “You pathetic human you couldn’t hit me if I had my eyes closed.” The corrupt digimon proudly declares. Mesmerized by the battle Leo and Joan seem lost in thought. Watching Jacob miss punches one after another causes hope to fade from Dawn. “Come on Jacob.” The girl whispers. Frustrated with himself Jacob reaches into his pocket and pulls out his white D-Shield and a card. The card is of normal size but with an interesting green and blue ‘electronic’ pattern. “Alright this is it, Friendmon get ready.” “Thunder Volt!” Screams the ball shaped digimon as he throws lighting at Jacob. The lighting catches him by surprise and hits the teen’s hand causing him to drop the card he pulled earlier. With his hand now numb the hero feels desperate. Too stunned to move the other children are speechless. All of them looking pale as ghost, Dawn manages to look at her friends. ”If I don’t do something this could be it.” “Thunder Volt” Another stream of lighting charges towards Jacob. “Friend Shield!” With no time to spare the lighting crashes into the familiar invisible wall. Jacob grits his teeth not being able to hit his mark. “So that’s your game…” Thunderballmon grunts in delight. The evil digimon shoots a blinding light at Friendmon causing the little Rookie to cover his eyes, unable to assist. Thunderballmon prepares for the final move and charges himself with electricity and rushes Jacob. The Protector shields himself with his arms and prepares for the hit. Seconds before impact Dawn interrupts the digimon’s attack as she dives and pushes Jacob, the two both manage to avoid the barrage and Thunderballmon slams into the floor. Dawn and Jacob tumble to the side of the hole made by the attack. Acting solely on instinct it finally hits Dawn that she risked her life to save Jacob. Overcome with fear she raises her head to see Jacob just as surprised as her. “Looks like we’re even now, I saved you and you saved me.” Jacob tells her with a grin. Leo and Joan run over to their friend. Friendmon now recovered returns to the group as well. Lifting himself and Dawn to their feet’s Jacob staggers forward to inspect the crater. Relieved to see her friend alright Joan questions and scolds Dawn for her recklessness. Leo on the other hand followed the Protector and looked deeply into the cave. Now his composure returned he is confident that he can manage the next attack. Secretly he glances at Jacob wondering how someone can seem so confident when facing a monster. Leo’s train of thought is broken when the entire complex begins to shake. Violently pillars begin to break and the levels above start to loosen. Everyone’s eyes are glued to the ceiling as the rubble begins to fall more rapidly. Jacob takes off and dashes for the other side of the collapsing level. Confused and scared the two girls run to Leo with Friendmon perched on Dawn’s shoulder. Closing in on his objective Jacob turns back to nod at his digimon and makes a headfirst diving slide. The hero gets to his feet revealing the card in his hand. He takes out his gleaming white piece of tech with his other hand. Friendmon preparing for what is about to happen, takes flight and soars a few feet in front of the others. Jacob passes the card over the top of his device’s screen which causes a light to erupt from his D-Shield. “DIGI-MODIFY…DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!” The light transfers from the teen to his digimon. Now surrounded by the blinding white light the cheerful creature begins to grow and change shape. ”FRIENDMON DIGIVOLVE TO…BUDDYMON!” The small flying digimon no longer seen is replaced with a new creature. The new digimon is still fairly small, with large unproportional ears and a tiny horn located on its forehead. Light tan and periodically black striped and tipped ears this digimon has kept the warming smile of its predecessor. Without time to speak the children watch on as the cute monster puffs out its ears and places his hands straight out, “Buddy Barrier!” chants the digimon. .:Streets: Tokyo, Japan :. Now blocks from the fight the group stops to regain their breath. The sun now setting the cool breeze blows over the exhausted teenagers. Gasping for air Dawn notices that Friendmon has returned to Jacob’s shoulder. “When did he change back?” Surprised Jacob turns to his left to see his comrade sitting in his usual spot. Taking a quick high-five from his happy go lucky digimon, he returns his attention to the puzzled group. “He de-digivolves when he gets tired. Saving four people from a collapsing building would tire me out too.” The cold boy approaches the other whom saved him. Without a change in expression he sticks out his hand. Jacob taken aback for a second quickly shakes Leo’s hand. “I may not know what’s going on but if you ever need anything I’m willing to help.” “Me…me too.” Whimpers Joan. Glad to have made new friends and allies Jacob nods in acceptance of their offer. .: Apartment: Tokyo, Japan :. Walking out from the bedroom Ivan rubs his eyes just waking up from a mid-day nap. He looks around to see Mrs. Tears cooking dinner while the professor and Will sit lazily watching TV. “Dawn and Jacob aren’t back yet?” He asks puzzled. Will turns around and looks to the door. “Guess not Jacob probably got lost.” With a shrug of his shoulders the team leader pulls out a chair and sits at a nearby table. He turns abruptly when he hears the doorknob turn. Jacob and Dawn straggle in, Friendmon fast asleep. They both move to the table and take a seat, appearing completely exhausted. As she sits Dawn props her head up with her hands and closes her eyes. Jacob lets his head fall straight to the wooden table, causing a loud thud. The others in the room look around at each other hoping for an explanation. The other two Protectors turn to each other and back to their friend. “You’re late, what happened?” Demanded Ivan. The tired boy and girl look up and stare at each other. Jacob turns his tired expression into a smile and Dawn returns with a smile of her own. Jacob and Dawn put their heads back down. Jacob sighs as he takes out and slides a card across the table. “Oh nothing…” The boy ends with a chuckle. .: Odaiba Park: Tokyo, Japan :. The full moon shines down on the park. Sitting alone on a bench is a teenage boy. This boy was wearing a dark outfit but covered by the night. Perched on his shoulder was a small creature, a digimon. As the clock strikes midnight the child stands to leave. In a dark voice he looks to the sky. “So it begins…” [spoiler=[b]Chapter 4[/b]]Operation: Past of the Future (Part 1) .: Apartment: Tokyo, Japan :. After a quiet and normal day the new ‘family’ consisting of the Protectors and the Tears finish dinner. The father shuffles into the living room and prepares to watch the news. Team leader Ivan along with Will return to the table to continue their work via laptop. Mrs. Tears begins dishes with the help of her daughter. Looking lost and out of place Jacob strolls around searching for a means of entertainment. Gazing at how quickly everyone found a role and the deep concentration they all share the teen boy walks over to the door, putting on his shoes. “I’m going to get some air.” He notifies his friends with an indifferent tone as he silently and quickly leaves. “Don’t get lost.” The blonde leader instructs Jacob as the door shuts. Within seconds the others continue back to their activities… .: Odaiba Park: Tokyo, Japan :. The night already arriving causes the street lights to burn bright. Ominously Jacob is the only one in the park, with the cool breeze blowing against his back and the sound of chirping crickets the Protector finds an empty bench and takes a seat. The teen leans his head back and stares blankly into the clear, starry, night sky. The eerie feeling of being alone allows the hero to release a sigh. Trying to let go of the stress and frustration of these last few weeks causes Jacob’s mind to wonder… .: Apartments: Tokyo, Japan :. Drying their hands with a towel, the mother and daughter stroll out of the kitchen to see the guys huddled around the laptop with only the sounds of keyboard strokes echoing throughout the room. As the girls approach they notice the astonished expression given by Dr. Tears. Turning to inspect they are dumbfounded to see Will busily typing away as an image of a bright and sunny field shining on the screen. The field was a spectacular site; completely wide-open one could sense the warmth and the relaxing mood. The scene was completed with a single lone tree standing tall as the easy breeze causes its leaves and branches to sway gently. “I don’t get it, why are you guys so happy?” Dawn asks with a dry tone. “It’s the place I’m spending the summer at.” The girl’s father explained with obvious delight. The girl raised an eyebrow surprised and still confused as her and her mother glanced at each other. A loud pound of the ‘Enter’ key Will spins around in his chair with a broad grin. Ivan stares deeply into the screen and softly announces. “The Digital World…” The next couple of hours were used to describe their plans of going to the foreign world. They also explained the known sectors of the Digital World accompanied with a map from the future. “So wait you guys haven’t been there before?” Dawn inquires coldly. “In the future we can’t keep the fight off our world, how could we get enough manpower to go to theirs?” Ivan retorts sharply. “We’ll be able to leave in a couple of weeks but it looks as though the barrier is still strong.” Will tells the group. With a jolt of excitement Mrs. Tears rises while clasping her hands. “I know, you boys haven’t been here that long so why not tell us more about yourselves. With that I’ll plan a nice vacation day and meal of all your favorites. So share everything.” The motherly figure politely request. “I want to hear about the future too!” Dawn supports noticing the awkward feeling the two are felling. Feeling uneasy about the suggestion the two Protectors feel it impossible to turn down the one who took them in. With a loss of words they glance at each other waiting for the other to say something. But with his previous training it is the team leader who manages the first move. “Ok, Will can go first.” Ivan demands as he coughs, turning a little red. Shocked in disbelief Dawn, Dr. Tears, and Will stare at him with jaw dropped expressions; surprised by the dirty play of the so thought righteous leader. “Why you…” Will manages under his breath. With a rare half smile Ivan pats his friend on the back and makes the motion to lead on with his other arm. The green haired boy sighs with displeasure and begins. “Well there really isn’t much to tell on my part; Ivan and my stories are related so I might as well tell it all…” .:ARC Shelter: Former America:. Inside a dark quiet room the stillness dominates all. The faint sounds of breathing echo throughout, the only source of sound. The room begins to brighten as many beams of light invade through the window, setting the room aglow. After a few minutes the creaking of footsteps is heard and approaching. They come to a halt and a fierce knocking follows. “Wake up dear, today is your graduation and you don’t want to miss it!” A woman’s voice rings. A loud groan emits from the bed and the figure sits up with a yawn. The room now partially visible is cluttered with computers, circuit boards, phones, and many other devices. Finally arising the figure stands, a green haired boy. “OK mom, I’ll be down in a second!” The boy calls out in a cheery tone. Now dressed and ready the kid straps on his backpack and heads out the door, calling out his goodbyes. Closing the door behind him Will turns to see another child standing behind him. “Hey Ivan.” The blonde boy stands firm and emotionless, with his digimon right beside him. He grunts back at the greeting and starts walking. Will surprised at first locks the door and takes off after his friend. “Rough morning huh?” He rhetorically asks with a wide smile. The two continue to head towards a giant building in the distance, where many kids and adults are seen congregating as well. While Will whistle a tune he slams into Ivan, who suddenly had stopped. “Ouch, what was tha…” Was all he could manage before looking over his friend’s shoulder to see none other than Toya. Toya was a slender teen with his trademark snow white hair and golden watch. With his finger the boy raises his glasses with a smile. “Well, well, well…If it isn’t this year’s number one student.” Will turning with the conversation gazes to Ivan who seems to not have noticed. Ivan tightens his grip on his backpack and walks pass their confronter. “Come on, we’re going to be late.” He coldly announces. Will stunned straggles and stumbles to catch up to Ivan and Hoodmon. Toya seeming unfazed by going unnoticed checks the time and chuckles… .: Digital Academy: ARC Shelter:. After a long day in class the two boys sit next to one another as many file out of the last class of the day. Chatter about the graduation ceremony had gone on all day and many were overly excited. Ivan was flipping through a notebook, going over the final details of his speech that was to be given later on today. Will having been hit with fatigue has his head flat on the desk. “By the way have you found the third person for our squad yet?” Will inquires, obviously bored. He raises his head to see his soon to be boss slightly shake his head side to side. Sinking back down to sleep Will jars himself awake as he see the door open. Ivan turns just in time to see Chief Hiroshi enter the room. Dressed in a military style outfit with several medals the seemingly gentle looking man strolled up to Ivan. “Cadet Ivan, I would like to have word with you in private. It has to do with your team.” The Chief orders as he clears his throat. Without making eye contact Ivan continues flipping through his book. “If it’s about my team then you can say it here.” “That’s what I like about you son, always responding to your gut.” Chief Hiroshi laughs patting the blonde kid on the back. “I’ve found the final member of your squad and he’ll be staying with you from now on.” Will is left stunned as his mouth instinctively gapes open. He manages to get a glance at Ivan who is just as surprised. His violet eyes stuck open with awe. “Give me one reason why I should accept him?” The new team leader questions, in an almost nervous voice. “Because…” The Chief begins raising the suspense. “He is the survivor from SAVIOR…” [/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo Fish Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Wait, I don't know much about Digimon at all, but who is Toya and why WOULD he appear in this story!? Anyways, it's only flawed because it needs some grammar adjustments, more description and a bit more sense. Rather than hope you'll change all of it I'll try to go over it myself (and I won't correct in special type, so be careful). It's a WEATHER REPORT OF SORTS.[align=center] During this period of time the world is covered in constant battles' date=' a never ending war. It is not other nations that this conflict originated from, but from the very technology humans created. This is the year 3000, a time of constant struggle against monster-like creatures known as Digimon. This conflict began only 100 years ago and yet already a third of human life has vanished. Could these ‘Digimon’ really be that powerful? No, in fact ten years ago humanity began its counterattack and was forcing the Digimon back into the world from which they came. But as soon as hope arrived, it was taken by the Demon Lords. Seven of the most powerful digital monsters appeared on the planet and destroyed all hope for humanity. Now, with military all but destroyed, only those partnered with ‘good’ Digimon can fight back. These are the Digital Protectors. These mere children fight alongside each other and their Digimon partners to hold back the seemingly inevitable end. But our story does not begin here. It starts a long time ago, when all was peaceful with the world. This is Tokyo, Japan in the year 2010. With the remaining efforts of the Digital Protectors, they have managed to send three of their elites back in time to stop the transgressions that will arrive and engulf the world.[/i'] Some things weren't really style or grammatical errors, but I typed them a bit differently so they're a bit clearer. Don't put a comma after conjunctions like 'but'! Human's means human is, not something that belongs to humans! Spell out smaller numbers! And be careful with where you put your commas and periods!Okay...quick question here. How do they live in TOKYO and get names like IVAN!? There's more than one case. A whopping THREE cases. And...Dawn Tears? That's a sad name. Who in their right mind would name their pitiful child that? I mean, Dawn's a pretty name, but last name TEARS!?!? Well, it might be a real last name... Oh, wait, Dawn Tears lives in Japan? (skips character bios) [spoiler=[b]Prologue[/b]]Operation 0: RescueIt was a beautiful Saturday, and the first day of summer vacation too. I had my entire summer planned out; spend time with friends, finish my homework early this time, if I have free time spend it on the net, but more importantly become part of something big. But...for the first time in three years my family decided to take a vacation to, of all places, the old campgrounds. Of course, like any other teenager who’s had their phone taken away, I find myself bored to death just staring out the car window. “Dawn, if you want you can use my laptop.” “Really!? Thanks, dad!” Saved. Finally, a way to get rid of my boredom (what's this over here supposed to mean? --> and I may find that thing again… Thinking back it is still actually pretty weird. It happened only one week ago. Wait waitwait WWWAAAAAAIIIIIITTTTT. WHEN did he get the to-be-mentioned computer virus and WHEN is everything happening!? I was finishing up my homework on the computer when an animated egg popped up on the screen. Oh, great. A virus. Easy enough to delete, I thought. When I was about to trash it, the craziest thing happened. To the trash you go….wait, it….it hatched!? What in the world is this thing? It looks like a funny helmet wearing bat! Why don't you describe it for us instead of just saying "helmet-wearing bat"? And can't you go any farther with description...? Like it looking realistic or pixellated or something? The worst part about that was it ate my homework. I'm going to add in some description, to make this make more sense, if you don't mind. Literally ate it. It just opened its mouth and swallowed my whole document! “Hmmmmm…” I had to start all over too. I'm surprised she's not, well, freaking out. She's as calm as possible, actually. Which is pretty weird, since whenever I so much as press the cartridge too far in on my GBA I turn it off as fast as possible. And it's weird that she's not thinking too much of it. “Here we are. Everyone ready to go?” my mom asked over excitedly as the campgrounds came into view. As we slowed to a stop I realized that nobody else was there. “We’re all alone today, what a weird feeling,” I said, taking in the beautiful forest scenery. Both my parents started to unpack the car and set up the picnic things when I realized I forgot to turn the laptop off. “I’ll be right back,” I told my mom as I hurried back to the car. When I got there I simply grabbed it and was about to hit the power button when I noticed one of dad’s programs came up. Usually I wouldn’t pay any attention, but this wasn’t like the others; it was showing a chart with readings going sky high and a ringing noise that sounded a lot like emergency bells. Without a second thought, I grabbed the laptop and ran back to my parents. When I got there, I was out of breath (I still don’t know why I ran) and trying to explain what happened before handing over the laptop. “D…da….dad something is….something is wrong with the computer.” I told him, handing over the laptop and finally getting my breath back. Oh, so NOW she's reacting to all of this. It was an unsettling and eerie feeling, to see my smiling dad’s face turn into a look of disbelief and horror. I can’t really remember how he tried to explain it, something about digital pulses and materialization. I have never seen anyone type as fast as he did after that day. You would have thought he himself was a computer. Wait, what's the computer sitting on? Suddenly the wind picked up and a beautiful aurora appeared in the sky. It contained wondrous shades of gravy green, infrared and hot pink. Well, you didn't DESCRIBE that part so well, so...might as well be. My parents and I stared at it; my dad had stopped typing, having given up. And thew laptop fell onto the ground and broke, having been released from his magnetic grasp...!? As we looked on, a bright flash on the ground made me cover my face with my arms, temporarily blinding me. When the light faded I put my arms down to see the same bat-like thing hovering….but it was real! WAs it real-y pixellated? Was it pixellated in the first place? If you told me these simple things before I wouldn't have been so confused later. “Well, well, well, so this is the human world. Not bad. It’ll do nicely for my master,” the bat said. My mom screamed as it spoke. To be honest, if I could’ve said anything I would’ve screamed too. The bat turned towards us and snickered, revealing its bright yellow eyes, sharp teeth, and a skull in the middle of its forehead. Nothing about its circular body? Because I'm pretty sure that's a defining feature. It spoke again, introducing itself as DemiDevimon. HOW somebody says something can add character, y'know? Especially a NEW character. That's showing and not telling, what you did thar. My dad had moved in front of me and found a stubby? branch to fight the little bat. At which the bat simply laughed and brought out a huge dart from behind its back. The bat flew up and then dove straight down towards dad yelling, “Demi Dart!” I guess out of instinct I turned and grabbed the picnic basket and threw it as hard as I could at the thing. With DemiDevimon still yelling the food hit his foot, making him drop the dart. He turned to me as my dad took a massive swing, and when he hit he sent the monster flying straight into a tree. As my family cheered, (wait, they're cheering? Not just saying, "Thanks, dad. I never want to go through that again..." "Well, there's something I oughta tell you..."? Wow, they're a REALLY happy family) the creature stood back up with the worst laugh I had ever heard. What does he mean, worst? Most evil? Was it a cackle? More of a terrified gasp for life? Piercingly loud? Just really annoying and slow? What? “You think a weak human can beat a Digimon? Think again….” As he said that he started glowing a bright white and dad’s computer made a louder sound. Wait, how far away is DemiDevimon now? Shouldn't he be laying on the ground, or something you should describe? “DemiDevimon digivolve to...Devimon!” The bat howled sadistically. After the light faded, the bat was gone! But even worse, a vampire took its place! This time no one screamed or even made a sound. That thing had just transformed…AAH! That's DEFINITELY Devimon! DAAAH!! He's not DEMONIC-LOOKING at all! He's TOTALLY a vampire!“Now, humans, get ready to feel the true power of the digital world,” Devimon said as he approached slowly. My dad charged and took another swing at it. The vampire easily smashed it and hit smacked? headbutted? kicked? ground pounded? wimpy slapped? shoopdawhooped? dad into the air and onto the picnic table. As the ‘Digimon’ laughed he came towards me and my mom who are, apparently, NOT MOVING AT ALL, but not before another one of dad’s programs popped up and started making a chirping sound. With the aurora still in the sky the wind picked up again, but it wasn’t like the first one. There was wind before? Devimon also had stopped and was confused by what was happening. All of a sudden, it all stopped and everything was silent. The vampire turned his attention back to us and took one step forward? backward? to the left? before it happened… It had the sound of an old sci-fi film when the aliens were being beamed to their ship but it looked like a rippling of water, and it was right over our heads! Soon enough my day got even weirder when a boy and another monster fell from the ripple in the sky. With a loud thud the black haired, oddly dressed boy hit the ground.WHATDOYOUMEANBY - oh. He's Lambo.“That definitely didn’t go as planned,” he (Lambo) said as he got up with his hand on his very hairy head. The creature that came with him used its ears to fly up and land on his shoulder. It wasn’t a scary one either; actually it was pretty cute looking.Daaaw, that little...hedgehog...with big ears that it can...use to fly is so KYUUUTE. Just then he looked around. His eyes went over my mom, then my dad, and finally me. When he looked at me he winked and smiled saying, “I hope I’m not interrupting anything, haha.” Nobody moved, but shaking uncontrollably I managed to lift my hand and point at the vampire. DEVIMON LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A VAMPIRE!! (to me) DEVI STANDS FOR DEMON! DEMON!! But hey, if he looks like that guy from Nosferatu, which he TOTALLY does because you described him as "a vampire", then I don't think he's a Digimon. To my surprise, when the boy turned around all he did was shrug his shoulders and say, “You’ve gotta be kidding me. Get ready Friendmon, here we go again.” I should tell you right now...that Friendmon...(to me) is a DUMB name for a Digimon. Palmon's cool because you can make yourself think it means something else, and Palmon's pretty awesome anyway, but Friendmon is just so...so...so blatant. After that, he simply let the creature off his shoulder and took what looked like a fighting stance. Meanwhile the vampire smiled and drew back his arm,. “Touch of Evil!” Devimon launched his arm at the strange boy. Is it still attached to him? Is it stretchy? Did it take off m=like a missile? Any of the above is funny. Without a flinch he stood, waiting to be hit. I held my breath. His ‘Digimon’ jumped up and shouted, “Friend Shield!” *laughs* With that the arm continued towards him but at the last second hit an invisible wall! The vampire cringed as his attack was blocked and the boy stood still in his confident, smiling stance. It was confident? Couldn't you have told us that before? “It’s time I went back to report. You got lucky this time, boy,” Devimon mumbled, and with a wave of his hand vanished in an instant. I also noticed the aurora in the sky disappeared. The boy looked surprised and lifted Friendmon onto his shoulders with a “hmph”. With his back still towards us and my family’s eyes still glued to him, he takes in a deep breath and exhales. He moves one foot, preparing to turn around, but the rippling sky came back. He looked into the sky just in time for two more people and ANOTHER creature to fall right on him. After the dust that was kicked up settled the confident boy was under the two others, and something that looked like Robin Hood. So two of them are called "others"...and one of them is Robin Hood. Here's the best picture I could find featuring two "others" in action.Yeah. That's totally them. They're totally another species that doesn't need to be described in any way what soever.“GET OFF OF ME! What are you guys doing here anyway?” he protested. “Don’t be like that, we came to help,” the green haired boy said smiling as he rolled off what seemed to be his friend.Wait, one of them has GREEN HAIR!? Forget that last picture. We need another image.Yeah. That's the guy. Totally.“Yeah, we are on the same team AND I am responsible for you,” the serious blonde boy said as he dusted himself off. Is he still sitting on Lambo? What a jerk. When he found himself clean enough he smacked the first one on the back of the head. “What were you thinking, taking the time traveler? This wasn’t our assignment, you know that?”THe best picture of Kittan I could find not from DeviantArt. And, hey, don't be hittin' the smartest but gayest character in the series.“Owww, you didn’t need to hit me. Besides, we can’t get in trouble because nobody we know exists yet,” he proclaimed, ending with a chuckle. With another smack to the back of the head, the leader looks our way and lets out a big sigh. He walks over to my dad and holds out his hand. “My name is Ivan Tenkuu NOOO! His name is Kittan Bachika. You're so WRONG all of a sudden!, that is Will Midori Leeron Littner, and you might have already met Jacob Mikomi Lambo. This may all seem like a dream but if you would kindly allow us some of your time, we can explain everything.” …When the day began I had my whole summer planned out; spend time with friends, finish my homework early, if I have free time spend it on the net, and more importantly become part of something big. Right now I’m standing face to face with three boys my age and two monsters. It really makes me want to rethink my summer plans.....[/align]I know there are character bios with pictures, but I really don't look at them much let alone notice they have "Appearance" boxes. So now your team consists of Dawn from Pokemon, Leeron and Kittan from Gurren Lagann, and Lambo from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Good job. It's definitely not as bad as a lot of other stories I've read, but it still needs work. Mostly you need to work on realistic character reactions, describe even if there are pictures of characters around, and review grammar to make sure it looks right.

Aequitas Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Not too bad. Listen to the above post for criticism, and I hope you continue this. It seems interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 @Kendo Fish: I can understand that there are grammatical errors. Grammer never was my strong point and hopefully this will help with that. But I do have a problem with you 'lashing out' at my characters. Just because you skip over the characters section doesn't mean you can bash on their names or appearences (because if you would have cared to look Ivan and the other boys are not from Tokyo). Also instead of adding pictures in and trying to insult the piece to ruin it for anyone else who tries to enjoy it why can't you either do it in a more formal *nicer* manner or PM it to me? D: In other words you made your point very clear. Thanks none the less for the comments everyone. I will try to improve over the course of this FF.

Blackstone Dresden Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Are you gonna allow people to create characters to put in later or did you already take care of that? Also, if you are allowing us to make characters, can I call dibs on the requisite heel-face-turn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
