Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Hana was walking home from school, she notices that Luke, Coronamon, and another boy with a Velocimon fought against a pair of Flybeemon. "Man, don't boys ever think to stop and take a break every once and a while? If they keep this up, the whole school will be like a giant magnet for wild digimon." She walks down the street, but fails to notice that she is being followed...

It isn't until Hana reaches her third traffic light that she realizes that she's being watched. "Nuts. If it's a digimon, I'm completely defenseless." She glanced behind her and noticed that the only person there was a student who went to her school, a boy about her age, though he was much taller than she was. "Whew. It's just someone from school. Maybe we go home the same way?"

"...Ta...mer.......T....am...er.........Tamer?"

Hana froze in her tracks. She glanced at the guy's lips again. Sure enough, they were mouthing the word 'tamer.' "Um, what? What are you talking about?"

"...You...girl...you are...a tamer...a digimon tamer...aren't you?" The kid was now staring at Hana, his eyes blazing with a mysterious light. "Don't try to lie....you smell like digimon...know you got one...saw your fight with Bakemon...show me your digimon."

Hana was starting to get creeped out by this guy. "Um, I don't know what you're talking about. Leave me alone please." Now he was reaching his hands towards her, trying to grasp her throat. "Go away!" Hana ran across the street towards her house, trying despirately to put some distance between this guy and herself. When she finally got home, she locked the door and ran to her room. Inside, Gaomon was lying on her bed, pretending to be a stuffed animal.

"Hm? What's wrong Hana? You look exhausted."

"No time to talk Gaomon; we've got trouble! There's some creep who knows about you and wants me to show you to him! I think he's crazed; he tried to strangle me!" Before Hana could say anymore, they heard the sound of wood being ripped apart down below. "Oh no, he's here already! C'mon Gaomon; if he wants to see you that badly, let's give him a good look...right before we hit him so hard he'll be too dizzy to see much else!" Hana grabbed her digivice and cards, ran down the stairs, and swiped the first card on her deck. "Digimodify! Crystal Fire Activate!" Gaomon lept in front of her, his fists and hands now swirling with a blue flame, shouted "Crystal Fire!" and shot the fire at Hana's attacker. As the flames cleared, they discovered that it wasn't a person at all. The mechanical doll that was disguised as a person fell to the ground as the digimon controlling it, Hagurumon, lept out of it and floated into the air.

"So...this is your digimon, eh little girl?" Hagurumon began shooting towards Gaomon, but Hana interupted him by knocking him into the wall. "You creep! Whatever you're here for, there's no way I'm going to help you get it! Now go away and leave me alone!" "Hana! Look out!" "Cog Crusher!" Hagurumon fires a gear at Hana, but Gaomon leaps in the way and takes the hit instead. "Gaomon! Are you okay?" "Hana, don't come near me!" As Hana approached Gaomon, he suddenly started trying to hit her. "Huh? Gaomon?" "Kehehe. Your friend's been hit by my Cog Crusher; now I control his every move." He demonstrated by having Gaomon perform a short dance, then stop right in front of Hana. "Kill your tamer, Gaomon." "Gaomon...no!"

Jason was sitting on the window sill. "So, how long are you going to wallow in self pity? It doesn't make a girl pretty," he said to Hana. Velocimon was sitting by the window.
