Episode Zero: It's My Life

Friday, April 25, 2002.
2:10 PM, Ashland, Massachusettes, USA.
Cycle Theme: Digimon Main theme
Twelve-year old Zachary Peter Bramner made his way through the hallways of his school back to his homeroom; stopping breifly at his locker to grab his backpack. It was dissmissle time, finaly. It had been another day in Hell, as useual. rarely did he have a good day anymore.
He ignored the people trying to annoy him; it was nothing new and he and grown to almost enjoy their disappointment when they got nothing out of him.
He briefly saw the one thing that he loved most in this damn world, Sarah Nelsini. Zack thought she was the most beautiful creature in the world. her hair was long and black like a raven's, and her eyes a startling green. she had tanned skin which somehow she maneged to keep tanned in the winter. She wore blue jeans and a white t-shirt that had a golden halo design on it's center, and multicolored beads in her hair. She was smiling, and though it wasn't directed at Zack it warmed him anyway.
Then, he saw his arch nemesis, John Montag, put an arm around Sarah. Sarah and John loved each other; Zack knew that and he didn't want to get anywere near John if possible. He was one of those people who just got worse and worse as you got to know them better. Zack had been stuck knowing him since first grade. right now, he thought that Satan (had he been real) would of been nicer to know. John had red hair the color of fire and was wearing a red tanktop and khaki shorts.
"Satanist," a kid that Zack knew (but didn't like) said as Zack passed by him. He hated that little subtitle people used on him. About a week ago, they had been studying the fall of the Roman Empire, and in one way or another it had come out that Zack was an athiest. So, people had taken to calling him a Satanist for some odd reason.
Zack entered his homeroom, and practicly colapsed onto his desk. He just wanted the day to END. fortunatly, the school was small, so he could sit by himself.
"How come you don't belive in God?" a voice asked. Zack looked over and saw another kid he hated two seats away from him.
"Go away," He said, not taking the bait. the kid just snickered.
"Maybe bus nine will be called first for a change," Zack thought. the buses were called in three sets at a time, and normaly his bus was in the second set.
Zack checked his backpack quickly to make sure he had everything. Pencils, paper, notebook, Social Studies book. They had only one homework asignment, and that was to read chapter one of the Fall of Rome section of the book. He had already read the book back to front, on previous asignments he had forgotten to stop reading, so he didn't actualy need to read it, but he wanted to, in case he had missed anything. Unlikely, but possible. he belived anything was possible.
Right, Zack thought. If anything was possible then the Earth would be under his control because he had used an army of those monsters he had seen on the computer about three years back. Naturaly, that wasn't going to happen.
"May I have your attention please," the clerk at the office said when the PA came on. "We would first all like to congradulate-"
Yadda yadda yadda, Zack thought. Just get to the buses. Yes, the football team won (again), yes, the D.A.R.E. program would be begining soon, you've only told us a thousend times.
Finaly, they started anouncing buses. for a nice change, Bus Nine was called first. he got up out of his seat, taking off the "kick me" sign he knew was on his back and had been for the last two seconds. Ametures.
Zack walked down the halway, and again he glimpsed Sarah as she hurried to open her locker. When she did, a rose fell out. Zack smiled. it was sad, the ways he came up with to make her smile. He had done that durring lunch, went into the teacher's room, grabbed the key, opened the locker, and put it in on the backpack, then maneged to put it back without being seen (it was fortuante that Sarah only went to her locker at the begining and end of the day, otherwise he might of missed the smile. once he had maneged to see her all day, though). the rose was real, he had snipped it from his mom's garden. taped onto it's bottem, in type on a small card were the words "your welcome". He saw Sarah smile as she breathed in the rose's scent, then hurry to her bus. Zack got onto his. He knew that she knew that it wasn't John who'd been giving her all these surprise gifts, he didn't have a big enough imagenation.
Zack sat in the front of the bus, that way he didn't have to deal with anyone torchering him. He was also luckaly the first stop off of the bus, so he didn't have to wait long to get home. Once home, he went to his room, a well-lit room. he was very brightly dressed normaly, though he dressed in mostly one color.
He moved the mouse on his small computer, and the screen flickered a few colors.
"Hi Neo!" the messege read as the Magic: the Gathering: Oddesy screensaver he had downloaded turned on, and the password entry window came up. He typed in his password (It was "Sarah", easy enough to remember)
the main screen came up. he checked to make sure the Internet was conected, then clicked on his AOL conection. he was online in under 10 seconds and alreay heading to check his E-mails(he was part of an Internet Forum run by EZ Board, and because of his signup he recived junk mail all the time). this time, there were only three E-mails. One was for a credit card, he deleted that. one initialy looked interesting, being a toy discount, but when he saw it didn't include Transformers he deleted that as well (he only colected those toys. his most prized was the origonal, Dye-cast Optimus Prime, worth around $300).
the third one caught his eye. It's title read "Hello, Zachary Peter Bramner" and it's sender was [email]CD@dgtl.wrld[/email]. he clicked on it.
the screen suddenly turned white.

[Darkened Skye]

Episode One: the Crest of Darkness

"Uh-oh," Zack said, waving the mouse around franticly.
Finaly, something happened. a black egg apeard on the screen, and started cracking.
"Huh?" Zack asked. This was weird...
the egg hatched, and a small, black ball with yellow eyes, small horns, and a mouth with small white, pointed teeth came out. it looked at Zack.
"Arik." It said. it leaped forward, and the screen, and the computer, shook with the impact. Zack leaped away from the computer.
"Okay, what the heck?" He asked as the computer shook again. the small ball looked impatiant.
"ARIK!" It shouted, slamming forward. suddenly, there was a sound like a stong wind, and the small ball thing was sitting on the ground. It looked up at Zack.
"Arik..." it said impatiantly, then hopped away, down the hallway in an instant and then into the kitchen.
Zack just stayed were he was, staring at the computer. it had returned to normal.
"One to many bad days at school," he said holding his head and thinking maybe he had halucenated it all. Then heard a crash from the kitchen. he ran into it.
the black ball thing was up on the counter, in the fruit bowl, eating more then it looked like it should of been able to eat. as Zack stared, it ate a whole aple in one gulp, then ate a bannana, skin and all.
Zack didn't know what to do, obviously. Suddenly, the ball thing looked queezy, then glowed black. there was a flash of blackness, and when the anti-light cleared, the ball thing had gotten bigger. It was about a foot tall, with larger horns, bigger eyes and a biger mouth, and a foot-long tail.
the thing looked at Zack. "Huh. This is what I have to work with," it said, in a voice that sounded like a baby version of Tarantulus from Beast Wars. It hopped of the counter and looked up at Zack.
"Hi, we're parnters." the thing said. Zack just stared.
"Wh...what are you...?" He maneged after ten seconds.
"My name's Irikimon. I'm a Virus-type In-training Digimon." he hopped back into Zack's room. "Jeeze, what do you need all this stuff for?" He asked, and Zack heard crashing again. he ran into his room, and saw his display case of Transformers had fallen over. Irikimon was looking at Sandstorm, a helicopter Autobot Transformer. he was holding it with his tail
"Uh...could you put that down?" He asked.
"Why?" Irikimon asked.
"because it's mine." Zack said.
"Not anymore," Irikimon said, squeezing his tail. He broke Sandstorm.
He.
Broke.
Sandstorm.
"Why you little-" Zack started. Sandstorm could easaly be replaced, but that wasn't the point!
"Little what? Come on, bring it on! I've got more then enough for you." he blew out bubbles which made Zack stagger back. They packed more of a punch then they looked like they had.
Zack grabbed a woden staff he had carved one day when he was bored and swung it so fast that the little thing didn't have time to react, and it was hit up against Zack's wall, then fell. It turned halfway around, eyes glowing red. Then, it smiled.
"Good," Irikimon said. "I thought I was stuck with a weakling. Maybe you aren't so bad, kid."
"Awnsers, now," Zack said. "What are you?"
"And strait to the point, too! I'm Irikimon, it translates to Little Demon Monster. I'm a Digimon, a creature made out of computer data. You are Zack, you're a human, and you have the Crest of Darkness."
"No I don't, I'd know." Zack said. "Where did you come from?"
"You have the Crest, alright," Irikimon said. "You just don't have it on you. give it time. Now, let's go to the Digital World. You're needed."
"Where?"
"Where I'm from. It's an alternate Universe, you can reach it through the computer."
"How, exactly?" Zack asked. Now he was begining to get curious.
"Well, let's see," he looked around, then under Zack's chair.
"Ah, here it is." he came out with two objects. one looked like a pendant, and the other like a handheld game device. the device was mostly white, but had black outlines.
"Put on the pendant," Irikimon said. "That's the actual Crest of Darkness. the device is a D3. Hold it up to the computer, and then we'll be there." Zack put on the pendant and took the D3. the pendant began to do some kind of anti-glow slightly when he put it on the Crest of Darkness was shaped like a black creasent moon, with the poins facing up. it was on a golden background. the D3 did nothing.
Irikimon hopped up onto Zack's shoulder, wraping his tail around Zack's arm for balence.
"Just hold it up to the computer," Irikimon said. "It's not that hard..."
Zack did. there was a warping sound, then suddenly Zack was in a tropical jungle, were it was raining. hard. he could hear thunder. Zack was soaked through instantly. He noticed that his blue t-shirt had been swiched with a black leather jacket, and a white t-shrit. his green shorts had been replaced with loose-fitting blue jeans.
"Welcome to the Digital World, enjoy your stay!" Irikimon shouted over the rain.

Episode Two: Digivolution

"What's with all the rain?" Sarah asked the small green ball in her arms, with eyes, a mouth, and a stem with leaves on it. She said her name was Herandemon.
"It IS a rainforest!" Herandemon shouted back. "What did you expect?"
"Just not so much rain!" Sarah complained.
"I like the rain!" the small child near Sarah said. His name was Alex Mirimak. Sarah occasionaly baby sitted him. Next to him, a small, red and yellow pig like digimon ran around with him. Alex was wearing a yellow T-shirt with khaki shorts. Wait, he hadn't been wearing that when he came in-
Then Sarah noticed that her clothes had changed as well, from a white t-shirt and blue jeans to a green shirt and a brownish miniskirt.
Sarah looked at the Crest hanging from her neck. it was colored green with a black background. It looked like a cross, but instead of the left, right, and upper rods there were three circles, each with a smaller circle in it. the top one was bigger then the other two and had two circles in it instead of one. Alex had a Crest as well, it was a horizontal shaft with two spheres at either end. the left sphere had three triangles pointing away from it, as did the right. inside each sphere was a circle. it too was against a black background, and it itself was colored yellow.
"What's this mean?" Sarah asked Herandemon. She had initaily been afraid of Herandemon but now she felt like she had known her all her life. Sarah was refering to her Crest.
"Faith," Herandemon said. "And Alex-"
"Has the Crest of Trust!" Khymon said, jumping up and down. his short fur as soaked through, as was Alex.
"Alex, get out of the rain!" Sarah aid sternly. "You want to catch a cold?"
"Jeeze, sorry," Alex said. "That's what I get for being a kid..." Khymon followed him and Sarah under the relitive dryness of a tree. Sarah's shirt was wet, and she could see a portion of her anatomy. But Alex was obviously to young to care.
"How do we get home?" Sarah asked.
"Don't worry, there's a way." Herandemon said. "Just give me a second. Oh, yeah, we just need to find a Computer."
Sarah shook her head. "Were do we do that?" She asked.
"Oh, we just gotta find one," Herandemon said. "There's all sorts of random items around here. It shouldn't be too hard."
"Alex..." Sarah said as she saw him inching into the rain.
"Awe, what can one rainstorm do?" Alex slumped.
"You could catch pnemonia," Sarah said, being unusualy pesimistic. Alex's eyes widened. He didn't know what pnemonia was but it sounded bad. "We'd have to rush you to a hospital. You'd run up a huge hospital bill and make my life bad with your parents. You'd linger on life support for a few weeks, then die."
Alex leaped away from the rain and was clutching to Sarah, Khymon clutching to him.
"Syke," Sarah said. That calmed him down a lot, but he eyed the rain suspiciously.
"Okay, so let's just wait for this rain to stop, then go find a computer."
"It won't be hard," Herandemon said. "I swear."
"Sarah?" A semi-familier voice asked. Sarah was startled and jumped, as was Herandemon. they both turned quickly, Herandemon leaping from Sarah's hands and looking suspiciously at the kid and Digimon that had come from the rain. He looked a little familier to Sarah, kind of. the digimon looked like a black, horned version of Hernademon.
"Who're you?!" Herandemon demanded.
"Cool yourself, data-type," the digimon said. "I'm not here to fight, especialy not against someone like you..." his yellow eyes flashed for a second.
"Charming," Sarah said. she looked at the kid who had moved into the tree's cover. "Who're you?"
This looked like a small blow to the kid. "Zack," He said. "Zack Bramner. We go to the same school."
Sarah racked her memory. she knew practicly everyone in the school.
"I...don't think I recognise you," Sarah said at last.
"I'm not really noticed much," Zack said. "And when I am it's not useualy for a good thing."
"Oh, GREAT," the small ball thing said. "I'm stuck with a looser for a partner. Could this get worse?"
"Oh, your the kid John's always picking on!" Sarah said.
"Never mind, it just did," the ball thing said. "Chances of getting to know Herandemon itemently: ZERO!"
"That's Irikimon," Zack said.
"I don't think I like you much," Sarah said to the black ball.
"Yeah, I don't like Zack much either," Irikimon said. Zack gave Irikimon an icy glare, but he didn't care. "What? I'm not just going to like you because you have a Crest. you want my respect, you have to earn it."
"That's not nice," Herandemon said.
"You could of said that nicer." Alex said. "You need to learn manners,"
"Oh, and you're going to teach them, kid?" Irikimon asked, eyes glowing red. Alex cowered back, but Khymon steped forward.
"I don't like your attitude!" He said.
"I don't like you," Irikimon said. "So f*ck off." Khymon backed off in shock. It also stopped raining, but the skys remained cloudy.
"Oh, NOW it's ON!" Herandemon said. "Herandemon, DIGIVOLVE TO>>>"
"TYMORAMON!" Tymoramon looked a lot like a Bellsprout from pokemon. It was about four feet high and made mostly of vines. It had arms, ending in claws made of thorns.
"Uh, Tymoramon, right?" Zack said. "Listen, I'm sure Irikimon doesn't mean any of this..."
"I MEAN EVERY WORD OF IT!" Irikimon shouted. "IRIKIMON, DIGIVOLVE TO>>>"
"GHELDINGMON!" Gheldingmon looked like a raptor, about four feet high. it's skin was scaly, and colored a dark grey. it had horns and two tail blades, as well as talons and claws. the horns, blades, talons, and claws were colored black. it's eyes were yellow.
Gheldingmon roared a chalenge at Tymoramon, and said something inaudable. Dark energy surrounded his hand, and then formed up and into a blade. he said something else, and black energy creeped accrose his frame, making him look like he was outlined with black.
"SPORE SEED!" Tymoramon shouted, throwing her arms forward. small seeds launched from them, and hit Gheldingmon. he was wraped in vines almost instantly, but he just cut through them with his blade.
Gheldingmon roared, then leaped forward. Tymoramon leaped out of the way, but Gheldingmon kicked out and hit her anyway, and he hit her so hard that she fell over. Gheldingmon leaped onto her, tounge licking his lips.
Zack then lunged forward, knocking Gheldignmon off of Tymoramon. Gheldingmon turned to Zack, shifting from left to right on his feet like a bird.
"Oh, YOU want some of this?" He asked. Zack was kneeling, and was vunurable.
Tymoramon suddenly leaped forward, to fast for Gheldingmon to react.
"EARTH CLAW!" She shouted, and earth formed around her hands, extending them out to a few inches. she slashed across his back, and he fell to the ground, then quickly leaped back up.
Gheldingmon hissed at Tymoramon, then leaped forward, slashing, and she fell. they were back in the same possition as before.
"Gheldingmon!" Zack shouted.
"SHE SHOULDN'T OF MADE THE CHALENGE!" Gheldingmon said. "FIRST rule of Modem: Don't chalenge what you cannot beat! Else, THIS might happen!" He looked at Sarah, and pointed his un-bladed hand. "You'll be next. I can tell." He raised his blade, but then he was hit with blue energy, which dispersed the black energy on him and covered him. he fell to the ground, shaking. his eyes darted around, like he was seeing something that only he could see.
Zack looked at were the blue energy had come from. He saw a Digimon that looked like an Abra from Pokemon, and John Montag.
"Great," He said, as he saw John running over to Sarah and the Abra Digimon circling Gheldingmon. John was weaing his red tanktop and khaki shorts as useual, but they looked cut different, and he was also weaing those cloth wristbands that sports people always wore.
Alex was crying, he was scared out of his little mind. Khymon was scared as well, and looked like he was wiping his tears in Alex's t-shirt. Zack moved over to him, and tried to comfort him.
"I want my mommy!" Alex said. Gheldingmon suddenly wasn't glowing with blue energy anymore, and he leaped up, but he looked much more unsure of himself. the Abra digimon eyed him, looking like he was about to cast a spell or something. John was holding Sarah, and kept on asking if she was okay.
Zack studdied Gheldingmon. He at first acted like he was the best thing to ever happen to Zack, but now he had just tried to kill Sarah. Who's side was he on, anyway?

[Darkened Skye]

Episode Three: Modem

John held Sarah, trying to calm her down. Aziirmon, the Abra-looking Digimon, was muttering something. Gheldingmon was relising that he was outnumbered.
"What is that, Aziirmon?" John asked.
"His name is Gheldingmon," Aziirmon said. "Virus-type rookie, and a powerful one. But, I think that Tymoramon and I combined can end his threat."
"No!" Zack said, moving in between Aziirmon and Gheldingmon. "No, don't."
"Nerd," John said. "Get out of the way. He just tried to hurt Sarah. NO ONE tries to hurt Sarah."
"Wait," Zack said. "Okay, Gheldingmon lost his temper. We can all get that, right? Only he has more power then what a human has. Maybe this is just the way he's used to settling disputes. we can't kill him for that."
"Watch us," Tymoramon said.
"You'll have to kill me, too," Zack said, then he thought "AM I CRAZY?!" But for some reason, despite what he had just done, Zack couldn't let Gheldingmon die.
"Do not force me to make you get out of the way," Aziirmon said calmly, but also sternly.
"Just one more chance," Zack said. "That's it. one more. if he screws up again, then I won't stop you from doing whatever."
"Fine," John said. "Aziirmon, he gets one more chance. But next time, get HIM out of the way."
Aziirmon backed up a few steps, as did Tymoramon. Gheldingmon looked like he was about to have a heart attack, and also looked at Zack like he was God or something.
"You..." He said. "You helped me...no one's ever done that for me before..."
"I just didn't think you deserved to die on your first offence," Zack said. "But I won't get in the way the next time."
"There WON'T be a next time," Gheldingmon said. His arm jutted back as if in recoil, and the SmallBlade disapeared. he walked up next to Zack, scratching the back of his head. "I'm...I...uh...thank you," He said, stuggling with the words. he looked up with nothing short of admaration. "you went against your freinds and risked death...for me..."
"Okay, so where are we?" John asked, ignoring all the emotional crap between Zack and Gheldingmon.
"This continant is called Modem," Gheldingmon said quickly, trying to be helpful and avoid seeing his past again via Aziirmon's attack, Psychosis. It was his worse fear. "This forest is called the Dark Wood, because the sun almost never shines here."
"I didn't ask you," John said. Gheldingmon stepped forward, growled and beared his claws, but then he glanced back at Aziirmon and saw him staring sternly. Gheldingmon steped back, and moved his head into his shadow, submiting.
"He's right," Khymon said. "This is Modem. We're in the Dark Wood."
"Okay, so let's make tracks to find a computer," John said. "My parents want to know when I'm going to get a pizza, I think they'll want to know if I'm in an alternate reality."
"My parents would probably be happy I'm getting out," Zack said as they started away.
"Why? Don't you like sports?" Sarah asked.
"Sarah..." John said.
"What? Just trying to get to know him. I can do that. So, don't like sports?"
"No, not really," Zacks aid. "Too physical. I haven't broken a bone yet and I want to keep it that way."

* * *

"Ultaimon...?" Dana Silverman asked the small, blue ball of feathers with blue eyes, a beak, and wings in her hands. "Were are we...?"
"This is the Digital World!" Ultaimon said happaly. Dana looked down at her, and noticed that what she was weaing had changed slightly. Her previously black miniskirt was now blue, and her pink T-shirt was now a pink long-sleeved shirt. The sleeves seemed a little big, but it actualy looked stylish. cool.
"So...like, were EXACTLY are we? Want country?"
"Country?" Ultaimon asked. "I dunno what that is. This is Modem Continant, and we're in the Dark Wood."
"That's not inviting," Dana said, somewhat annoyed at it's uninvitefulness. How did it expect to get tourists with a name like that? Well, maybe the freaky ones, like that Zack Bramner...
Her pink-colored D3 beeped. She swiched from holding Ultaimon with both hands to one, and looked at the D3. it showed her, a pink dot, in the middle, then a black, green, blue, and yellow dot off to the right.
"Uh..." She moved a step to the right, and the dots got bigger. "Okay, I get it. let's go see who this is," She started walking.
"Okay," Ultaimon said. "Probably more humans and Digimon."
"How d'ya know?" Dana asked.
"Because you're Digi-Destined!" Ultaimon said. "That's the only reason why we'd of met. Our World and Your World are compleatly different, and right now Our World is in a lot of trouble, and whenever that happens, kids from Your World come! And eveything is better then."
"Wow," Dana said. "What's the matter with the DigiWorld?"
"I dunno," Ultaimon addmited. "But SOMETHING has to be wrong, why else would you be here? You will help, right?" She looked up at Dana with big baby eyes.
"Uh...of coarse!" Dana said. "Why not? How hard could it be? Oh, Sarah!" Dana had just caught up with the other kids and saw Sarah. They ran to each other and hugged (as I've noticed girls often do), and were almost instantly babbling about what seemed like nothing.
"Do girls from Your World always do this?" Gheldingmon asked Zack. They were standing away from the rest of the group.
"Yeah," Zack said. "I never got why."

[Darkened Skye]

Episode Four: Kaalmon Unleashed
Several Hours later, 6: 19 PM Earth Time

"So what IS Your World like?" Gheldingmon asked.
"Boring," Zack said. "Nothing interesting ever happens. Well, there was a small problem a while back with the Arabs stealing arms and taking hosteges again, but nothing much."
"Stealing arms?" Gheldingmon asked. "Did the humans they were stolen from get their arms back? It has to be hard with only one arm, or no arms."
"I meant guns. wepons."
"Oh." Gheldingmon said. They were still away from the rest of the group, wanting to remain seperate. Zack had learned a lot about Digimon in that time. They were made of computer data; and there were many kinds. Gheldingmon was a Virus-type, classifide as the Demonic Page Digimon. Zack was a little offset by this, but Gheldingmon seemed nice deep down. Very deep down.
They were all traveling through the forest, sticking together. Khymon and Ultaimon had digivolved to Ieterimon and Kysiramon. Ieterimon looked like a red and orange salamander with tiny batlike wings, and Kysiramon looked like a blue bird with a small horn sticking from it's head.
"Were is a computer, anyway?" Zack asked.
"Uh..." Gheldingmon said. "...Around. Somewere. Yeah. And you should be able to get home..." He thought "I hope..."
Zack heard a sound like a twig snapping. Gheldingmon heard it too, they looked around.
"Okay, did you hear that?" Ghedlignmon asked.
"Yeah, I-"
"WEB FLARE!" a voice shouted,a dn Gheldingmon maneged to get himself and Zack out of the way. a web that looked like it was on fire hit near were they had been.
Everyone stopped and looked around. They formed into a tight circle, witht he Digimon hanging around.
"What was tha-" John started.
"Arachdramon," Gheldingmon interupted. "Virus-type champion digimon. Look like ten foot tall spiders. Servents of Scorpiusmon...uh, not that I know the guy personaly."
"WEB FLARE!" that almost hit John, but he moved out of the way. They saw nothing through the trees.
"They're great at stealth." Gheldingmon added. "But, I think maybe if one of us could Digivolve again..."
"Done," Aziirmon said. He glowed with blue energy. "Aziirmon, DIGIVOLVE TO>>>"
"FHENDURMON!" Fhendurmon looked like a twenty-foot tall version of Kadabra from Pokemon, colored blue.
"WEB FLARE!" firey webs shot at Fhendurmon. He raised his hands and pointed at it.
"DREAM WAVE!" Blue energy hit the Web Flare, and it disperesed. Fhendurmon turned and pointed at the trees.
"DREAM WAVE!" Blue energy hit something in the forest, which screamed and fell out into veiw. It looked like a spider, all right, a black widow.
"Arachdramon," Gheldingmon confirmed. Suddenly, they were surrounded by Arachdramon.
"Uh..." Zack said. They were sevearly outgunned....
"HALAMON!" a new voice shouted from the forest. "DIGIVOLVE TO>>>"
"GASIMON!" an angelic digimon cut through the trees, attacking the Arachdramon. aided by Fhendurmon, a few were taken out. Zack noted that when they were dameged enough to die they would burst apart into tiny fragments that would soon disapear.
Then, the Arachdramon, no longer caught by surprise, attacked. Fhendurmon and this new Digimon would be overwhelmed quickly.
"Can you do that?" Alex asked Ieterimon.
"I can try!" Ieterimons aid. "IERTERIMON, DIGIVOLVE TO>>>"
"CALDEDRAMON!" Calderdramon looked like a dragon from english myth. It's hide was colored red, and it's entire tail was on fire.
"Lava BURST!" Lava spewed from his mouth and hit the Arachdramon, but there were still so many...
"KYSIRAMON!" Kysiramon shouted. "DIGIVOLVE TO>>>"
"CELESTIMON!" Celestimon looked like a giant blue bird, with a long mane of feathers coming from the top of it's head.
"SKY ARCH!" wind colected at her wings, then shot forward. a few more Arachdramon fell.
Zack moved away slightly from the fight, and bumped into someone, and they both quicly turned, Zack stupidly apologising.
The newcommer was a girl, looking slightly younger then Zack. she had black hair and was weaing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, white sneakers. she had a Crest, which looked like a four-sided star inside a larger four-sided star, colored purple. she also had a D3, which was also colored purple. She had pale white skin that rivaled Zack's for lack of tone, and looked Asian.
"Introductions later," She said, in almost perfect english, but he had a slight accent that hinted Japanese. "Right now, what can we do to help? I don't think Gasimon can hold them for long. Any ideas?"
"Uh..." Zack said. He didn't know what to do...why did people always ask him stuff like this at the worst times?!
"TYMORAMON, DIGIVOLVE TO>>>"
"ASKITAEMON!" Askitaemon was about fifteen feet tall, and shaped like a human. She had green shiney hair and pale green skin, and was weaing very little. She held a staff.
"VINE GROWTH!" a few Arachdramon were caught up in vines and were squeezed to death, but there were still to many.
"Gheldingmon!" Zack said, running over to a crouched down form of Gheldingmon who looked very scared. "Why haven't YOU Digivolved?"
"Well..." Gheldingmon stammered. "Uh...you see...uh..."
At that moment, Askitaemon was hit by a Web Flare. Being a Plant Digimon, this severaly hurt her.
"Awe, HELL!" Gheldingmon shouted, stepping up. "Gheldingmon...DIGIVOLVE TO>>>"
Gheldingmon grew in hight to fifteen feet tall. his neck grew out to be long and his horns got bigger, his legs much longer as well as his tail. He had dark green hair that started from behind his horns and swept down almost to the bottem of his neck. His hands covered his face, but then he drew them back and slashed at two Arachdramon behind him, not even looking. they burst apart into data. he roared at the sky.
"KAALMON!" He shouted, and suddenly all action stopped. they all looked at Kaalmon. Sarah said something under her breath, sounding like "Good GOD..."
"Kaalmon?" One Arachdrmaon asked.
"Lord Kaalmon?" Another asked.
"Overlord..." Gasimon hissed with malice, but also slight fear.
Kaalmon looked behind him, at the Arachdramon who were forzen in place, half with amezement, and half with that kind of gut-wrenching fear.
"DARKBLADE!" Kaalmon shouted as he leaped forward and slashed before the blade was fully formed with his free hand. two Arachdramon were taken out in one swing.
"CALL TO DARKNESS!" Kaalmon shouted, and black energy surrounded him. he slashed out, hitting another three Arachdramon. He had deleted those five in under a second.
Kaalmon stood in the middle of a circle of Arachdramn. they relised what had happened and atacked. he leaped into the air and landed on two. He stabbed one and twisted the neck of another, and both were deleted. Only ten Arachdramon remained. most of them charged, two of them provided long-range cover.
Kaalmon moved. Two Arachdramon fell, one was hit into a tree and knocked out, and then the others tried to run. Kaalmon chased them down and deleted each of them, then started walking back, qucikly, to the Arachdramon that was consious again. It was trying to back away.
"No..." He said. "Please...mercy...MERCY!" Kaalmon swung a fist at the Arachdramon, hitting him away and into another tree.
"There are others!" The Arachdramon pleaded. "I can show you...PLEASE!" Kaalmon ignored him as he stabbed is blade into the Arachdramon's gut. it screamed in pain, and then burst apart into data.
Kaalmon turned to the five other Digimon, smiling.
"Maybe this isn't so bad..." He said, before they all attacked, All of the humans shouting protest.
Kaalmon stood, waiting for them to come. he then leaped forward, and hit Fhendurmon first, so hard that he de-digivolved to Aziirmon. he then swung his blade, hitting Askitaemon with it's flat side, and she too de-digivolved. he took out two of the others, Calderdramon with a backhand and Celestimon by headbutting her, leaving only Gasimon. He stood only a few feet away from Gasimon, who swung her sword. Kaalmon caught it, then twisted it out of her hand and threw it away. Gasimon tried her dagger, but she was again disarmed. she resorted to her fists, but Kaalmon caught the blow and twisted her arm so that she was kneeling before him. All this looked effortless to Kaalmon. He twisted again, and Gasimon cried out in pain. He then kneed her, and she flew back, de-digivolveing. the sword and dagger also joined in her bright light, and she became a small, mouse-like Digimon, colored yellow.
Kaalmon looked at all the rookie digimon. "Easy," He said. he de-digivolved back to Gheldingmon, and stalked forward, making his way past the fallen digimon, kicking Aziirmon when he tried weakly to grab him.
"Zack," He said. "We have to teach these guys how to fight, if we want to beat the Overlords."

Episode Five: the Overlords
One Hour Later

The newcomer was named Kailine Tsamino, she had the Crest of Life, her Digimon was Halamon, she was from Japan, and that was all the group needed to know about her, thank you very much. She was holding Halamon, who was severaly weakened from the beating that Kaalmon had givin all them. They were all in bad shape, except Gheldingmon. He was sitting near a fire he had gotten Ieterimon to light via threats. But he had seemed much nicer after it was lit.
"Lesson one: Fight through your pain," That was what Gheldingmon had said to Ieterimon first, after it had gotten dark. He had then revealed bleeding hands, givin to him by Gasimon's sword and dagger. He also had a few burns from the Web Flares of the Arachdramon, but he didn't seem to even know that they were there. Everyone else was sitting as far away from him as possible.
"What is he?" Zack whispered to himself, but got an awnser from Halamon, though a weak one.
"He is Kaalmon..." She said. "Th-the worst...O-Overlord...the...Dre-Dread Lord..."
"Huh? Overlord?"
"Don't," Kai said. "She's hurt. Don't make her talk more then she has too." Halamon tried to protest, but Kai hushed her.
"So...who are you?" Zack asked. "Besides something basic."
"I said," Kai said. "Kailine Odette Tsamino. Call me Kai."
"Anything else?" Zack asked. "Y'know, a mom, a dad, a brother or sister-" He was cut off with an icy glare.
"Shutting up," He said, taking the hint.
"They are not ready," a voice said next to him. He jumped, and saw that Gheldingmon was now beside him.
"What was that?" Zack said. "Why'd you-"
"Self-defence," Gheldingmon said. "They attacked. I defended. Had I not beat them this hard, they would of kept coming. I might of had to delete them."
Zack thought for a moment, then relised it made sense. They seemed to now hate Gheldingmon with a passion.
"What are you?" Zack said. "Why do they all hate you?"
"I am...was...an Overlord." Gheldingmon said. "There are now seven. We took control of Modem, then divided it up into sections that we ruled. I was called the Dread Lord. Whenever I had to put down a rebellion, not too often, surviving digimon would often kill themselves rather then live to feel my wrath. Not a bad idea, I was EVIL to the core."
"You're not much better now," Kai said.
"Point of veiw, there," Gheldingmon said, sighing. "I used self defence. had any Arachmon in that scouting party lived, we'd have a leigon on our heads now. a leigon of Arachdramon I can't defeat, the only reason I defeated those ones was because I had two elements: surprise and fear. One-on-one, I'm about as powerful as any of the other Digimon. Okay, a little better. They were just so scared that they were messing up. And I had fear on my side when I was taking on Halamon, Aziirmon, and the rest. Speaking of which, sorry Halamon. Little hard there."
Halamon looked startled, and looked up.
"Wha...?" She asked.
"Sorry," Gheldingmon repeated, sounding sincear. "I was a little too hard. I didn't even relise what I was doing. I'm sorry."
Halamon looked like she had just seen God come down and told her that she could take over his job.
"You're...joking..." She said. Gheldingmon shrugged. "Fine," He said sarcasticly. "I can see there's no fooling you." to himself, he muttered "Am I going to have to put up with this the rest of my life?"
"You seem to know a lot about here," Kai said. "Why are we here?"
"You're the Digi-Destined," Gheldingmon said. "the Chosen Children. We're the Chosen Digimon. Each of you have a Crest that best exemplifies what makes up the youness of you. You're here to help us Digimon digivolve so that we can fight back evil and help out Modem. In this case, the Overlords. You can't get home until each is deleted, we made that, figuring we could pick you off one at a time."
"Wait," Zack said, holding his Crest. "This means Darkness. You said."
"And...?" Gheldingmon asked.
"Isn't Darkness evil?"
"Nope," Gheldingmon said. "Seperate thing. Darkness, and it's counterpart, Light, have the potentiality to become either."
"Oh, cool," Zack said.
"Tomarrow," Gheldingmon said, "We leave here. Scorpiusmon's base resides in the deepest part of the Dark Wood. We should make tracks for it. the Digimon should be healed compleatly by then; if not, too bad. We can't afford to be slow." He glanced over at Alex and Ieterimon, who were asleep next to Sarah. "I think we might have a chance," He said. "At least with him. Such strength for one so young."

[Darkened Skye]

Okay, so what do you think?

I know, I know, they suck. It's probably down there with Vance Moore right now. But, I swear, the episodes get better and longer, and I also swear that plot twists come in more often and things get more detailed and I think my spelling and grammar gets better.

Keep in mind, though - if you say yes, you're saying yes to ninety-six episodes and two hundred nineteen pages. This is the longest digimon fanfic ever, if not the longest fanfic ever. It is brilliant, it is my baby, I have worked lovingly on it for years now. It had an earlier version (thus the 'Redefined" status of it), but that was only thirty-six episodes and seventy seven pages long, and it was all happy-go-lucky. this thing gets DARK.

[Darkened Skye]

Ouch. That hurts, guys. Not one reply, not even one veiw.
