Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chapter 1
Introductions
Jason was walking through the woods behind his grandparents' house. Jason had red hair and was about 5'4". He wore a black shirt, beige pants, and white shoes. Jason was visiting his grandparents with his mother. 'Even my grandparents have digimon partners,' Jason thought to himself. Jason stuck his hands in his pockets and stared at the ground a he walked. 'Why don't I have a digimon partner?' Jason asked himself like he had a thousand times before. Just then, Jason saw a light in the corner of his eye. He looked over and saw something on the ground. Jason bent over and picked it up. "Is this a digivice?” he asked out loud, looking at the object.
It certainly looked like one except it was a little different. It had a screen in the center, but it was almost perfectly round, if it weren't for the four buttons, one by a corner of the screen. Jason looked around. He was no longer in the woods behind his grandparents' house. He was in some type of forest. There were plants he had never seen before. Jason started walking the way he came hoping to find his way back.

Suddenly, out of the thick brush, a giant black wolf jumped out. "Wh-who are you?" Jason asked nervously. "I'm Kaziwulfmon. I'm here to take you to Darklordmon, where you'll meet your demise," the wolf said. Jason ducked under some bushes as Kaziwulfmon swiped at him. Jason ran through the bushes and trees as the digimon chased. "Demon Wolf Claw," Jason heard behind him. He then heard some trees behind him smash. Jason quickly crawled into a giant hollow tree. He crawled to the back of the tree. He heard Kaziwulfmon run past the tree.

Jason looked around. There was a dinosaur-like digimon lying across from him. It was red and had black marks that looked like scars over its eyes. It had two horns on the back of its head going straight back. The digimon slowly stirred. “Who are you?” The digimon looked at Jason and jumped up happily. “You’re finally here!” the digimon said excitedly. “I’m Velocimon.” Jason looked at Velocimon as he stood up. Velocimon stood at about 4 feet and had three black stripes on his black.

“I’m Jason. Were you waiting for me?” Jason asked. The digimon smiled. “Of course. I’m your partner.” Velocimon said. “An evil digimon is taking over this world. You and some others need to help us save this world from Darklordmon. He’s been taking control of more and more digimon.” Jason stood there listening in amazement. Was this the reason he didn’t have a partner before? “Let’s do it.” Jason said after a pause. Jason crawled outside and Velocimon followed him.

Just then Kaziwulfmon jumped out of the bushes. Jason and Velocimon jumped to the side just in time to avoid being hit by the attack. The two ran into a clearing. There were other people there. One was a boy a few inches taller than Jason. He had silver hair and was wearing a red shirt with a giant black “x” on the front.” He was also wearing a black headband, black pants, black shoes and red wristbands. Next to him was a small doglike digimon. The digimon was about 3 ½ feet tall. It was standing on what would have been its hind legs and had ice blue fur. He had a fox-like tail.

There was also a set of twins in the clearing, a boy and a girl. Both had black hair and blue eyes. They were both wearing White pants and with jackets, which were over black shirts. They were wearing blue shoes. While the boy had short spiky hair, the girl had long flowing hair. Next to them were digimon Jason had seen before: Crabmon. There were two: one was the normal grey while the other was blue. Jason ran next to the girl as Kaziwulfmon ran into the clearing.

The four digimon attacked Kaziwulfmon. “Ice Claw,” the dog cried slashing at Kaziwulfmon. The two Crabmon used Scissor claw. Velocimon jumped out. “Fireball,” he cried. A giant fireball was shot out of Velocimon’s mouth. Kaziwulfmon was hit by all of the attacks and ran off. Some other people walked out of the bushes. Four people walked out with digimon following them. Everyone stood in a circle looking at each other. Jason looked at the others but no one said anything.

There was a girl with red hair. She was wearing a green soccer outfit and white sneakers. Next to her was a small red bird-like digimon. Next was a boy about Jason’s height. He had black hair and was wearing a black jacket and black pants. He also wore black shoes. Next to him was a digimon that looked like a black house cat standing on its hind legs. It was wearing shorts and a bandana. Finally there were too girls. The first of the two had a digimon partner Jason had seen before: Gizamon. The girl was wearing a blue sweatshirt and a black skirt. She wore black shoes with pink stars on them. The other girl, who had brown hair, was wearing a fur coat that went to her elbows and jeans. Next to her was a small moving bush.

“Hi, I’m Jason,” he said to them nervously. “This is my partner, Velocimon. I’m from Florida.” Jason looked at the others.

After an awkward silence, the boy with the silver hair spoke. “I’m Gre. I’m from California. This is Kabumon, my partner.” Gre said pointing to the dog. Kabumon bowed when Gre said his name.

“I’m Rei, from Brazil. This is Birdmon.” The girl in the soccer uniform said.

One by one, everyone introduced themselves. The girl in the fur coat’s name was Leslie and she was from Russia. The bush was Scrubmon. The twins introduced themselves next. The girl was Lao and the boy was Tao. They were from China. The girl with the Gizmon was Elie and she was from England. The last guy was Kyo. He was from Japan. His partner was Felimon.

“Now that we’ve been introduced, we need to get down to business. That wolf might come back. We need to be ready,” Jason said.

“I agree,” Gre said almost immediately. The others nodded but they didn’t have much time for agreement because Kaziwulfmon jumped out of the trees. He had a scar over his right eye that he didn’t have before.

The 8 digimon jumped in front of their partners to protect them. “Demon Wolf Claw,” Kaziwulfmon cried as he slashed at the 8 digimon. Velocimon, the two Crabmon, and Kabumon used the same attacks as before. Birdmon used an attack called Wind Gust, with which he sent a gust of wind that seemed to do a considerable amount of damage. Scrubmon used Leaf Blast which she shot thre leaves which exploded on contact. Gizamon used Spiral saw and Felimon used Cat’s Claw, in which he slashed at Kaziwulfmon. The amount of damage was enough to digitize Kaziwulfmon back into a digiegg.

Above the digiegg was a black sphere. “Fire Claw,” Velocimon said slashing the black sphere, destroying it. “So, that’s how Darklordmon is controlling the digimon,” Jason said. The othere digidestined looked confused. Jason explained about Darklordmon trying to take over Zeta. “We’ll need to set up camp, seeing as it’s getting dark.” Leslie said. All of the others agreed that they would take turns being lookouts. They soon had a fire lit, compliments of Velocimon, and were ready for the oncoming night.

Chapter 3
Trouble in the Village
“We should split into two groups and meet back here.” Jason suggested. He went with Gre, Rei, and Leslie one way. Lao, Tao, Elie and Kyo went off in the opposite direction. Jason led his group right into a group of fruit trees. Kyo lead his group down to a stream where they caught some fish. An hour later, they were filled with breakfast and had some fruit saved for later.

“I think we need a leader.” Gre said.

“I nominate Jason.” Rei said which surprised Jason. Everyone agreed.

Jason had never been happier. He went from having no friends to having fifteen, including the digimon.

“Alright then. We need to get moving. We shouldn’t just stay in one place and wait for them to attack.” Jason said and once again everyone agreed.

So they packed up what they had and walked down a path through the woods. They soon came to a small town, but it seemed to be deserted.

“Hello?” Jason called out.

“I don’t think anybody’s here.” Gre said.

Rei looked over and thought she saw a shutter close.

“What happened here?” Tao asked looking at some burn and scratch marks on a building.

“I don’t know,” Jason said as he walked up to a door and knocked. “Hello? We’re not with Darklordmon.” This had done it. All sorts of digimon came out of their houses.

An Agumon walked up to them. “Then, can you help us?” the Agumon asked.

“What happened?” Jason asked.

“Come back to my house.” Agumon said. They followed Agumon back to a decent sized house. It was red with yellow windows. They walked inside and sat on the ground in a circle to listen to Agumon. Agumon remained standing as he explained. “Darklordmon has sent an evil digimon here to terrorize us. Every night he comes and takes away another villager to become a slave to Darklordmon. His name is Firebearmon and he’s too strong for any of us to beat.”

“Well, don’t worry. We’ll stop him.” Jason said standing up.

That night the eight digidestined and their partners patrolled the streets. For a few hours, nothing happened. Gre walked down a dimly lit street, Kabumon following closely behind. “I’m bored,” Kabumon said.

“Well, we’ve got to do this,” Gre replied. Just as he turned around, a giant bear that seemed to be on fire lunged at him. Gre quickly dodged. “Get him, Kabumon!”

“Fire Bear Claw.” Firebearmon slashed at him and fire seemed to come out of his claws. Kabumon countered with Ice Claw. It barely touched Firebearmon and he started laughing. “You call that an attack?” Firebearmon teased. He then attacked again knocking Kabumon back into Gre. Kabumon was out cold.

“Kabumon! Get up!” Gre said. “Our friends are counting on us. SO GET UP!” As he said this his digivice glowed.

“Kabumon digivolve to Tokumon.” He was now a lot bigger. His claws were a little longer and he had a headband on. There were blue streaks along the ice blue fur. “Let’s do this tough guy.” Tokumon said. He stood straight up on his hind legs.

Tokumon reared back and called out, “Ice breath.” He then shot out a breath of ice. It froze everything it touched and it hit Firebearmon, freezing him instantly. “Wolf Claw.” Tokumon struck Firebearmon. Firebearmon screamed in pain before digitizing into a digiegg. A ball of fire shot out from behind Tokumon and Gre and it destroyed the black sphere. Gre turned around to see Jason and Velocimon.

“Nice job,” Jason said as he gave a thumb up. Gre couldn’t help but smile.

In the morning, Jason and Gre explained to the villagers that they were free from Firebearmon. The other digidestined listened as they were told what had happened.

“That’s two that have digivolved. I wonder who’s going to be next,” Leslie said hopefully. The fact that the digimon partners were digivolving was a good sign. After a days rest, they left the village with an abundance of food. They set off through the desert towards a beach.

Chapter 5
Battle on the Beach
There was a large mansion on the beach and night was coming fast. The group went up to the door and Jason knocked the knocker. “Coming,” came a voice from inside. The door opened to reveal Wizardmon.

“Welcome. I’ve been expecting you. I received a call from Kamin Village. They told me what happened with Firebearmon. I should thank you for helping them. Come in and relax. It’s getting late and you’re more vulnerable at night,” Wizardmon said leading them in.

At first they were weary of this supposedly friendly digimon, but they entered anyway. They walked into a large living room with a bunch of chairs.

“It can get pretty lonely here by myself. I’m glad to have some company. There are rooms upstairs where you can sleep. If you’d please follow me,” Wizardmon said leading them upstairs. “You’re a pretty quiet group, but I guess you’re just being careful. Here we are,” he said pointing to two rooms on the left and two rooms on the right.

The twins took one rooms. Kyo and Gre quickly grabbed another. Leslie and Elie took the third room. This left the last room for Jason and Rei. Inside was a great platter with an abundance of food. After eating, everyone went to sleep except Jason.

‘Something’s not right,’ Jason thought. Jason looked over at Velocimon and Birdmon. The two of them were asleep. He looked over at Rei. See too was sleeping. Jason got up and exited the room quietly. He walked over to the stairs and heard some voices.

“Please, they haven’t come yet, I swear,” he heard Wizardmon say.

“I’ll be back tomorrow. You’d better hope they’re here if you want to stay alive,” he heard the other voice say.

Jason suddenly jolted awake. ‘It was just a dream,’ Jason thought. ‘But it felt so real.’ Jason was awake for about an hour before falling back to sleep.

The next morning they all woke up and ate breakfast. They looked in the closets and found bathing suits. Everyone changed into bathing suits and grabbed some towels. They thanked Wizardmon and went down to the beach.

Jason and the digimon didn’t go into the water. The twins didn’t go far into the water. Jason had lied down on a blanket and started to sunbathe, but didn’t have a long time as heard someone scream.

Jason shot up and saw Leslie screaming. Elie started screaming. Suddenly, they were lifted up in the air. Kyo, Gre, and Rei were lifted up next. A giant octopus emerged from the water.

“Octomon!” Jason said angrily. He then turned to the twins. “Lao, Tao, Tyromon’s attacks will be ineffective against him so it looks like it’s up to you.”

The twins nodded to each other. “Go, Crabmon!” they exclaimed together. Their digivices glowed. Tao looked at the grey Crabmon. “Crabmon digivolve to Coelmon.” Coelmon immediately got into the water. Lao looked at the blue Crabmon. “Crabmon digivolve to Seadramon.” Seadramon followed Coelmon into the water.

Octomon looked at the two digimon with fear. “Spurting Ink,” he cried shooting ink at the two digimon. “Ancient Bite,” Coelmon raced towards Octomon. “Ice Breath,” Seadramon shot ice at Octomon. Before the attacks could hit, Octomon dropped the digidestined and ran off. “I’ll get you for this, Digidestined,” Octomon called out as he ran off. Coelmon and Seadramon helped the others back to shore.

They all went back to Wizardmon’s mansion. Wizardmon was practically skipping for joy. “Thank you, digidestined. He’s been bothering me for days now. I shall lend you my boat so that you can get to Darklordmon’s island. The digidestined spent the night in the mansion and said their farewells the next morning as they rode off in Wizardmon’s boat.

Chapter 7
Of Fog and Fire
A day’s travel later, they landed on Darklordmon’s island. They traveled up the part warily. “We need to keep our guard up,” Jason said. The trees on the island were pitch black. There was a dense fog and a dark aura that made them shiver.

A dark laugh came out of the fog. The fog slowly surrounded the digidestined.

“Who’s there?” Leslie called out.

“I am Fogmon. I may not appear to fit my name, but my ability to create fog certainly does,” said the dark voice. A shadow appeared in the fog. It was a caped body with a floating orb for a head. “Oh, and don’t forget my partner, Meramon. I hide him while he incinerates my opponents.”

Suddenly, as Fogmon disappeared into the fog, balls of fire shot at the digidestined. They tried to dodge them, but most of the digimon were knocked out. The only ones not knocked out were Gizamon, Scrubmon, and Felimon. The digidestined looked after their digimon partners.

“First, thing we need to do is stop Fogmon. What we need is some way of stopping him.” Jason said.

“I could stop him if I could digivolve,” Scrubmon said.

“Well, we’ll just have to try,” Jason said. Just then, more fireballs shot at them. This time they were aimed for the humans.

“Scrubmon!” Leslie screamed.

“Gizamon!” Elie cried.

Their digimon jumped in the way as their digivices glowed. “Scrubmon digivolve to Vinemon.” “Gizamon digivolve to Deltamon.” Vinemon looked like a green man whose clothes were made of vines. Deltamon blocked most of the fireballs.

Vinemon quickly grabbed Leslie as a fireball almost hit her. “Are you alright?” Vinemon asked her. She nodded. Vinemon set her down. “Vine hold.” He said. Vines from around his arms went into the ground. They heard a scream of surprise from the fog.

“Felimon digivolve to Catmon.” Catmon attacked at the place where they heard the scream. The fog lifted as they saw Fogmon digitize into a digiegg.

“Triple forces,” they heard Deltamon cry as he shot three lasers, one from each head, at Meramon who also digitized into a digiegg. They then destroyed the black spheres.

However, now was not the time to celebrate. The rest of the digimon were up now. A black cloud came out of the forest. It formed into a red man in a black cloak. The digimon gave an evil. The rest of the digimon partners digivolved. “Ha ha ha. You think you can defeat me? Even as eight champion level digimon level digimon you won’t stand a chance. I am one of Darklordmon’s top eight servants. I am Orbmon,” the dark digimon said.

Orbmon shot an orb at each of the eight digimon and they digitized back into their in-training forms. Each of the digidestined went to their partners. Orbmon laughed. The digidestined were suddenly encased in giant black orbs. The orbs were lifted off the ground and were sent in eight different directions across Zeta.

Chapter 9
Friends
Gre was holding a small ice-blue puppy. He felt the orb land. When the orb disappeared, he put down the small digimon. “Nakumon digivolve to Kabumon.” They walked through the woods a short distance until they came to a small hut.

“So, you’ve finally arrived,” said a voice from behind them. It was a Gotsumon. On his back was a basket full of rocks. “I was told by Warmon to look out for you. Follow me.”

They followed Gotsumon into the hut. On the opposite side of the hut was a giant stone tablet. Gre walked over to it and it became his tag and crest.

“You are the owner of the crest of friendship,” Gotsumon told him. He then went on to explain the situation with Warmon.

Gre looked over to where the crest was. There was now a gun with the crest of friendship on it. “So, we’re just supposed to wait?” Gre asked.

“Yup,” Gotsumon said nodding.

Suddenly, they heard a tree fall outside. “That can’t be good,” Gotsumon whispered.

“Come on out digidestined. I know you’re there,” said a rasp voice. Gre looked outside. He saw a sword cut down a tree. As the tree fell, a digimon was revealed. It was Musyamon. He gave an evil laugh. Gre backed away from the window.

“Let’s do it Kabumon,” Gre said.

“Right. Kabumon digivolve to Tokumon.” As he digivolved, he destroyed the hut. “Ice Breath,” he shot a last of ice at Musyamon.

“Shogun Blade.” Musyamon cut right through the Ice Breath and hit Tokumon. Tokumon digitized back into Kabumon. Musyamon slowly walked towards Gre. He went to strike but was stopped by someone in armor with a sword.

“Hurry up, Gre. Grab the blaster of friendship.” It was Jason.

Gre quickly ran back as Jason fought off Musyamon. He quickly grabbed the blaster. “Digital Armor activate.” His armor was different from Jason’s. Gre’s armor was blue. His helmet was shaped like Garurumon’s head. He received another blaster, both of which had the crest of friendship on them.

He fired red blasts at Musyamon. They hit Musyamon and hit screamed in pain. Jason slashed at him and he digitized into a digiegg. Gre shot the black sphere. Both Jason’s and Gre’s armor went back into their digivices.

“Nice job, Gre. By the way, this is Warmon,” Jason said.

Warmon walked out of the bushes. “Pleased to meet you. I’m sure Gotsumon explained everything to you,” Warmon said and Gre nodded in response. “I bet you’re wondering what the four buttons on the digivice do. Allow me to explain. This button shows a map of Alero. This one shows a map of Zeta. This button allows you to see any digivices that are close to you, within 10 mile. And this button, as Jason has learned, releases your armor,” Warmon said pointing to each button accordingly.

Jason pressed the button for the Alero map. A hologram version of Alero appeared above the digivice. He pressed the button again and it disappeared. He then pressed the button to detect the other digivices. A round flat map appeared above the digivice. There was one dot next to the center. Towards the top was another dot. Jason pressed the button again.

“Let’s go, Gre,” Jason said. “Thank you for your help Warmon. I’m sure we’ll meet again. We shall get stronger and eventually defeat Darklordmon and restore your power.” Warmon nodded. Jason, Gre, Velocimon, and Kabumon walked down the path in the direction of the dot Jason had seen.

Chapter 11
Twins Separated

WARNING- This Chapter has a lot of going back and forth. If you don’t read carefully then you WILL get lost. Now read on for the twin’s adventure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Lao held onto her digimon, she remembered her life before coming to Zeta. Meanwhile, Tao was also remembering his life before Zeta. While they were being hurled somewhere, they weren’t thinking of anything but how they used to be.

Both of them were top notch students at their school. Lao was a straight A student while Tao had been the president of four major clubs at their school without being overloaded. Lao had skipped three grades while Tao had become class president.

Why were they like this? To keep their minds off of not having a partner.

Lao gripped the small Bakumon. She didn’t even notice that they had stopped. “You can let go of me now,” Bakumon said. Lao opened her eyes and let go of Bakumon. “Bakumon digivolve to Crabmon.” They were at the top of a canyon. They walked along a path that lead into the canyon. They figured it would be less likely to be caught by Darklordmon if they were deep within the canyon.

Meanwhile…

Tao braced himself for impact. When he awoke, Crabmon was standing over him. “What happened?” he asked.

“You were knocked out when you crashed. You were lucky I caught you,” a voice said, but it wasn’t Crabmon.

Tao sat up. He wasn’t sitting on the ground, but on a digimon. It was Whamon. Whamon explained about Warmon and the situation. He then told him that he needed to obtain his crest and weapon that was on Kago Island.

Meanwhile…

Lao had reached the bottom of the canyon. She and Crabmon started walking along the wall. It wasn’t a deep canyon, but deep enough to be hidden. She went to put her hand on the wall and it glowed, becoming the crest of Reliability. Behind it was a trident. A loud crash came from behind them. A Tortomon ran towards them.

Meanwhile…

Tao walked down the sandy path of the tropical jungle. He got to the top of the hill and stopped. Beneath there was a great glow as the stone he was standing on became the crest of Knowledge. A pair of knuckles appeared where the crest was. Tao bent over to pick them up, but stopped.

“What’s that smell?” Crabmon asked.

Meanwhile…

Lao’s armor was blue. It had patches of white fur around the forearms and lower parts of the legs. There was red “hair” coming out of the back of her helmet. She slashed the trident at Tortomon while Seadramon blasted him. Lao gave a final slash while Seadramon destroyed the black sphere.

Meanwhile…

Tao was having trouble. Raremon was hard to damage and even Coelmon was having trouble. His armor was purple. It had Kabuterimon’s horn on the top. Suddenly, a shot came from behind him. It was Gre. Gre shot three more times and Raremon had digitized. Leslie slashed and destroyed the black sphere.

Gre went over to him. “You’re lucky Tokumon’s a good swimmer,” he said jokingly.

Meanwhile…

Lao walked on. She noticed the canyon top getting closer to them. She stopped as she noticed some figures in front of them.

“You were not easy to find, Lao,” Jason said. Rei, Velocimon, and Bridmon were with him. He explained the Warmon situation to her and how to use the digivice. “We’ve decided to call them D-X’s,” Jason told her. He went on to tell her what had happened to the others so far. He then told her how Gre and Leslie went after one signal…

And Jason and Rei had gone after the other.

“I see. So, we’re going to meet up with them?” Tao asked.

“Yeah, luckily Whamon can take us back to shore.” Leslie said.

They went back to Whamon. Whamon brought them to the shores of a beach. Behind the beach was a mountain that with a crack going down the center. On the beach was Lao and the others. Whamon told them that he would take them to the next digidestined and they climbed on his back. Kyo and Elie were still missing and it was a big world.

Chapter 13
The Team Together
Kyo ran across the forest. Kuwagamon was chasing after him. This chase had been going on for a few days now. It happened shortly after the orb crashed. Purmon, a small gray fur ball with a tail, resumed his rookie form of Felimon.

They soon found a cave where Kyo obtained the crest of light and a bow. His armor was white except for the gold rings around his wrists and ankles that resembled Gatomon’s Tail ring.

Soon after, he was attacked by Kuwagamon. His arrows, however, had little effect on Kuwagamon. So they hightailed it and had been on the run ever since. Kuwagamon was tiring out, but so were Kyo and Felimon.

They needed assistance quickly. They continued through the forest, but they eventually came to the ocean. There he met the others with a smile. When Kuwagamon came out of the forest, Velocimon and Kabumon digivolved. When Kuwagamon saw that he was out matched, he quickly turned around. The digidestined were back together as a team and were stronger than ever.

Jason explained everything about Warmon and the Digivices to Kyo. They built a fire to keep them warm for the oncoming night. Everyone then told Kyo their stories. Jason thought that they would be strongest if they knew each other’s stories. Everyone looked at Elie and Kyo. They were the last to tell their tales.

Elie looked down. “All I had ever wanted was a digimon partner. I had been hoping and hoping. People teased me for years, but I kept on hoping. But I after my sixteenth birthday I had given up hope. But when I came here, and found Gizamon, I didn’t know what to think. I felt that I could hope again. I was really happy,” Elie said.

Kyo looked even worse. “I was always kept in the dark. Because I didn’t have a partner, nobody would talk to me. But I’ve seen the light. I know now that it doesn’t matter what they think.”

“I’ve learned that I should stand up for myself.” Jason said.

“I’ve learned that I need friends,” Gre said.

Just then, Jason’s, Gre’s, Elie’s, and Kyo’s crests all glowed. But they didn’t have time to think about it. Kuwagamon was back and this time he brought friends. Two more Kuwagamon came out of the trees.

“It’s time to fight,” Jason said. He stood up and raised his D-X over his head. “Digital Armor Activate.” He pressed the button to release his armor as he said this. His digivice glowed and turned into a ring of light that went down his body. As it did, his armor covered his body. His sword appeared in front of him. Jason grabbed the sword. The others did the same.

An hour later, three digieggs were laying in the bushes near the fire.

“I guess we just pissed them off.” Tao said. It turned out that there weren’t any black spheres.

“Kuwagamon have been known for being violent,” Gre said.

“We’ll continue to travel in the morning. Now that we’re back together, we can get stronger and beat Darklordmon once and for all.” Jason said.
