Chapter 1: New Friend and The Start of New Story
Once upon a long time, when internet was first introduced to humanity, they knew nothing except that it would bring humanity to an even greater future. Little did they know that behind the screen of the computer, lies an entirely whole new different world with creatures of many kinds residing inside it.
Fast forward to the present, the whole world is now facing a great disaster. The desert is having a storm and the south pole is having a summer but no scientist could come up with a concrete reason as of why these phenomenon occur.
Instead of having scorching sun shining the land during summer, the country of Japan have snows falling from the sky. While most of the people are elated that they could escape the raging sum for at least a while, the seven digidestined that join the summer camp in hope for some fun and relaxation couldn't say the same as all their programmes for the day are ultimately cancelled.
When seven mysterious device fall down from the sky, the children of course couldn't hold their curiosity to touch it and that's where everything went wrong.
As soon as their hand made contact with it, they were pulled into a dimensional hole and were transport to another place that they could definitely confirmed not being near their camp at all after a few minutes of wandering around and meeting with odd looking creatures that called themselves digital monsters-- digimon for short.
Yes, those Digimons could talk.
Anyway, along the course, they realize that the place is not only occupied by those small and cute digimon, but also the big and scary one. Worst, for some of them who are not thrilled for adventure, they have to fight those digimon too with the digivice things that they pick up from their camp.
Slowly but surely, they start to adjust to the new place. There would still be some complaints now and then but at least no one was crying. Not even Takeru who at least look optimistic as compared to the older children-- Joe and Mimi for example. Right now, the group of seven is on their way to the peak of the sole mountain in the place.
On their way to the mountain however,the group are forced to stop under a big tree due to extreme tiredness from walking for a long time.
"How nice would it be if I have a can of cola right now.."Mimi, a girl with pink sun hat, say as she how pleased would she be if a can of cola appear in front of her right now.
"Mimi."Taichi warned, trying to avoid another round of complaint. Even though he said that, Taichi admitted to himself that he couldn't resist from thinking the same. All the other have the same thought, except the Digimons of course who is clueless about the soft drink.
Seeing as there is no harm in asking, Tentomon look at his partner for some answer. "Koushirou -han, what is a 'cola'??"
Koushirou could only sigh at the question and was about to explain before Takeru cut him short by tugging his brother's shirt. "Onii -chan, what is that??"Takeru ask Yamato as he points toward something shiny.
"I don't know Tagiru.."Yamato admit. He squinted his eyes hard but still, he couldn't make anything out of it.
By now, all attention are on the shiny thingy. "Wanna go check it Taichi??" Agumon-- Taichi's digimon partner, ask excitedly and is replied with same enthusiasm.
Without waiting for the other, the two make a sprint towards the object. "Taichi! Agumon! Wait!!" Sora try to stop him but fail as they were already too far away from them. Sora shake her head in defeat at the two's childish behavior before turning her head towards the group. "What do we do now??"
"Couldn't we just wait for them here??"Jou replied, feeling a bit unwilling to follow as they were finally able to take a short break after a long walk.
The moment he finish talking however, Taichi's voice could be heard ringing in the air. "Hey guys!! Come here!! You all couldn't believe what we found!!"
"Do we even have a choice??"Yamato mutters before bringing Takeru along with him toward Taichi's direction. The two's respective digimon partner-- Gabumon and Patamon follows tightly behind.
When the rest of group join Taichi and Agumon, they are indeed shock to find what Taichi was saying before. Lying still in front of them is a little girl who look like she's only the same age as Takeru with a big egg by her side.
Looking at her lifeless face, Jou's responsible instinct immediately flare up.Quickly, he snapped out of his shock and rush to the girl's side. Jou push away the girl's black cloak to examine her condition and found some bruises and cut on most part of her body. Luckily, the bruises and cut are not at all threatening.
"Gomamon.."he say and his loyal digimon partner immediately stand to his side to assist him. "Please bring out a bottle of disinfectant from inside of my bag."he request and Gomamon waste no time in abiding it. "Right away Jou."
While Jou and Gomamon are treating the girl, the other are busy worrying about the unknown girl's wellbeing. "How could this happen??"Sora ask, feeling pitiful for the girl. Ever so caring, Biyomon pat her partner's back. "Are you okay Sora??"
"Maybe a digimon attack her??"Mimi suggest and was agreed by Koushirou.
Worried for the children's safety, Gabumon offer himself to scout the area from any bad digimon. "Thanks Gabumon."Yamato thanks his partner. "It's fine Yamato. It's my duty to protect you anyway."Gabumon bashfully reply before walking away.
"Wait, I'll go scout too!!"Patamon say, eager to help as well. He quickly fly away from Tagiru's side to join Gabumon.
Agumon look at Taichi. "Taichi."he firmly say. Taichi lock eyes with him and nod his head, allowing Agumon to go join the two other digimon. Taichi watch as his partner run away from the group and turn to look at Jou. "Jou, how is she??"he ask.
Jou take a full minute to bandage the girl's arm and only after that did he reply Taichi. "She's fine. Just minor wound here and there. I'm not sure when she will wake up though."
A smile of relieve begin to form on the rest of the group face. "That's good, right onii-chan??" Tagiru, with a smile on his face turn to look at his brother who now also adorn a smile, although just a little. "Yes Tagiru."
"But hey, isn't that a digivice on her hand??"Mimi point out and all eyes are directed toward the girl's hand.
True enough, there is a digivice resting on the girl's tight grip. "Is she.."
"A digidestined too??"Koushirou finish Sora's sentence and then look at Tentomon, expecting him to have an answer for this.
"I'm sorry Koushirou -han, but I too don't know."
Seeing as there is nothing that he could do anymore, Jou starts to pack his things back inside his bag with the help of Gomamon. "Great work Gomamon."Jo praise his digimon partner which make Gomamon happy and beaming with smile. "You too Jou!!"Gomamon reply energetically.
Not long after, the three digimon return back from their scouting."Anything?"Palmon ask but the three digimon simply shake their head.
Just then, there is a slight movement from the girl's finger and Takeru, being the only one who notice it, point it out. "Look, she's waking up."
Another minute pass until the girl wake up. At first, her expression bore those of confused but as soon as she saw the peoples surrounding her, her confused look turn into a scared one.
Yamato, being used child her age other than Taichi, slowly go to her side as of to not scared her. "Don't worry, you're safe now. We're not bad peoples. My name is Ishida Yamato and this is my partner digimon, Gabumon."
"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Gabumon." Gabumon gently introduce himself.
The young girl look at Gabumon, feeling confused again. "Gabumon??"she say, unsure before turning her head to look at Yamato with the same expression. "Yamato??"
Yamato smile supportively at her. "Yes, I am Yamato and this is Gomamon."
"And I'm his brother!!"Takeru suddenly say from Yamato's behind, eager to introduce himself to the new person. "I am Takashi Takeru and this is Patamon. He's my friend."
Patamon too greet her with a small wave. "What is your name??"Takeru ask, feeling excited as there is finally someone who is close to his age.
Normally, it wouldn't take someone too much time to answer the question but the girl seems taken aback by the question. "Name??"
Tagiru excitedly nod his head while the other look at each other, unsure.
"My name..." The young girl think for a while before a smile finally appear on her face. "My name is Sachi."she say after a long silence.
"Sachi? That's a beautiful name."Sora compliment her. "My name is Ta-"
Before Sora could introduce herself, she was interrupt by Agumon who is impatient to introduce himself. "Hey, is it my turn yet??!! My name is Agumon!! And this is Taichi, my partner!!"Agumon loudly introduced himself and earn a smacked on the head by Taichi.
"Don't scared her."Taichi scold Agumon before turning to look at Sachi with gentle smile on his face as he is reminded of his younger sister. "Sachi is it?? My name is Yagami Taichi. Nice to meet you. And this person standing beside me is Sora."
"Thanks Taichi. My name is Takenouchi Sora, and this is Biyomon."she introduce herself alongside with Biyomon who raise up her wings. "Nice to meet you Sachi!"Pyocomon happily say.
Next it was Mimi's turn to introduce herself. "My turn now. I am Mimi, Tachikawa Mimi." Palmon then step up from behind Mimi. "And I am her digimon partner, Palmon."
"Yo, I am Tentomon. My partner is Koushiro -han and while he may seems quiet, he's a good partner."Tentomon fly to Sachi's side and whisper the last sentence, although not so small as the other, especially Koushiro can still hear it. "I can still hear it Tentomon." he sweatdropped.
Koushiro then return to his calm composure and introduce himself properly. "My name is Izumi Koushiro, nice to meet you Sachi -san. This person over here is Jou -san, he's the one who help to bandage your wound." He then points up to Jou who is nervous as it was his turn now to introduce himself.
Sachi's eyes immediately set at Jou, page which make him even more nervous. Knowing his partner too well, Gomamon take the initiative to introduce himself first, letting Jo to calm himself down. "Hi!! I am Gomamon and this is my partner, Jou!!"
Jou straighten up and quickly introduce himself. "I-i uhh, I'm Kido Jou!!"he nervously sttuter up and bow 90 degree to Sachi, although he is older the one.
Sachi crack a smile at Jou's nervousness before thanking him. "Arigato, Jou -san."
Jou become calmer and he too smile. "No worry, Gomamon help too."
Sachi then direct her smile towards the sea digimon. "Thanks to you too, Gomamon."
Gomamon's face redden. "That's nothing really."he bashfully reply.
"Anyway Sachi -chan, what are you doing here alone?? What happened to you before we found you??"Sora ask, her mother instinct unintentionally switched on.
Sachi's smile now disappear from her face as she thinks hard for an answer at the moment. In the end, she could remember nothing. "I... don't know.."
Worries is apparent on each digidestined's face. "What do you mean you don't know??"Yamato gently ask.
"I.. can't remember.."Sachi honestly answer, avoiding to meet the digidestined's eyes which are filled with sympathy.
"Do you remember who your parent is??"Mimi ask.
Sachi shake her head.
Taichi make an eye contact with every digidestined before he turn his head back to Sachi, a gentle smile on his face. "It's okay. How about you follow us for the moment? We'll help you as soon as we get back to our camp."
Sachi's eyes lit up at the offer. "Can I??"
Taichi smile and nod firmly at her question. "Of course, you are now one of our friend, right guys??" All the other too smile, agreeing with Taichi's word. "And friend don't turn their back at their friend."Taichi finished.
At that moment, the egg that is forgotten by all other violently shakes at it's place before returning still again, attracting the attention of other.
"What is that??"Sachi curiously point at the egg before pulling it closer to her.
"I don't know but that sure is a huge egg. Maybe we can cook it for our dinner la-"Taichi suggested but was immediately objected as the digimons all gather around the egg. "No!!"all the digimon shout and make a barrier around Sachi and the egg.
Confused by the digimon's reaction, Koushirou look at his digimon partner. "Tentomon??"
"I'm sorry Koushiro -han but you can't eat this. This is a digiegg!!"Tentomon explained.
Jou bent his body forward and straighten his glasses to take a closer look at the egg. "Digiegg??"
"What is a digiegg??"Mimi bluntly ask.
"Digiegg is where we all come from." Gabumon explain and all digimon nod their head. "Yeah, it is when we are still not born yet!!"Agumon strongly support.
"Like a chicken then!!"Takeru conclude and this time, it is the digimons turn to look at them questioningly. "Ne Takeru, what is a 'chicken'?"Patamon ask his partner.
Takeru waste no time in showing off his knowledge to the clueless digimon. "My teacher teach me that chicken is hatch from egg that is lay by a mother hen."
"So we are chicken in your place??"Tentomon ask, looking at his partner, Koushirou.
Koushirou deeply sigh at the innocent question. "I don't think you want to be a chicken Tentomon. Chicken is raised by human to finally become our food."
The digimons are clearly shook by the answer. "...food??"Tentomon repeat.
"Haah, speaking about chicken, I've been wanting to eat fried chicken these day."Mimi say dreamily. Her words is deeply misunderstood by the digimons and further shook them all. Palmon gulped hardly before looking at her partner. "F-fried chicken??"
Sora, noticing the scared look on Biyomon's face, pat the bird digimon's shoulder in concern which only make the digimon jump in shock. "Kyaa!!"Biyomon shout in terrified.
Sora retract her hand back from Biyomon. "Uhh... Are you fine Biyomon?? You look scared."
"Yeah, you all look scared."Taichi say when he noticed that Agumon is also bearing the same scared look.
"How could we not?? You guys eat digimon!!"Agumon shout. The digidestined all take a moment to register what Agumon was talking and laugh when they finally understand what is causing the digimon to be scared.
The digimon all look at them weirdly. "Why are you laughing Jou??"Gomamon ask, confused.
"It just that, it just that- puahaha!!" Not even a proper sentence left Jou's mouth and he is not able to control his laughter.
"What is it Yamato??"Gabumon couldn't resist to ask.
Breathing deep breath, Yamato calm himself down and explain to all the confused digimon, rescuing them from their distress. "Digimon is not chicken, you digimon aren't even the littlest same as chicken and we are not going to eat you all, don't worry."
"Is it true Takeru?? That you won't eat me??"Patamon fly closer toward Tagiru who naturally welcome him into his embrace. "Of course!! You're my friend Patamon, I'm not going to do that."
The digimon could now heave a deep sigh of relieve.
"Anyway, why is there a digiegg here??"Jou ask when he finally regain his composure.
The digimon all look at each other for answer. "We don't know. Digiegg is usually at the Village of Beginning, which is quite far away from here." Gabumon explain.
"Tentomon??"Koushiro ask his partner and Tentomon confirm it without hesitation. "Then..." Koushiro take a moment to think before coming up with a conclusion. "Maybe it's Sachi -san's future digimon partner."
"Sachi -chan's digimon partner??"Mimi say.
Koushirou nod his head. "Yeah, her digimon partner. After all, she have a digivice like us too and if she already have one, shouldn't the digimon stay by her side now, like ours??"Koushiro reasoned.
"Yeah, it all fit in. You are a genius Koshirou!!"Taichi praise.
"But why is it not hatched yet?? We've been here for almost four days now and unless she come later than us, which seems impossible, then there's no other answer. Our digimon partner all come out to us not as digiegg, why is hers different??"Yamato question.
Koushirou too bore the same question but as he couldn't think of any plausible answer, he could only shake his head in defeat.
Seeing that they are staying for too long of time at there already, Sora suggest them all to start moving before the day turn into night and all agreed.
"Sachi, let's g-"
They all turn their head and look at Sachi who is looking at the digiegg with a fond smile on her face. "My digiegg.."she say before hugging the egg, sharing her body warmth with it.
