Episode 1: Get Up! Adventure!

/Life is so boring/ thought a teenage boy as he was walking home from school. He was tall, brown-skinned, and had dark brown hair, which looked black from far away. His common, dark brown eyes, depicted a look of tiredness and boredom. The rough wind ruffled his white, long-sleeved shirt, with a red t-shirt on top. The legs of his black, baggy jeans scuffed against the concrete sidewalk as he walked, and he bent down to roll them up.

/I'm just about the only kid with nothing to do. I need a life./ he thought. Standing back up, he continued on his way. They sky was a cloudy gray, sitting atop a very urban neighborhood, casting a shade of dullness upon the city. Cars drove by on the black tar streets. The area was lifeless, with very few people. As he came to the end of the street, he waited at the crosswalk to cross the street. People around him were enjoying small conversations, while others just stood there waiting silently for the walk sign to appear. The white walk sign blinked on, and he and the crowd of civilians walked across the wide, black street. He crossed the street onto another block of brick houses, and turned around the corner until he arrived at tall, red brick apartment building. He opened the large entrance door, and walked in. He journeyed up a mountain of stairs, which seemed to stretch forever, until he finally came to a landing. He walked across the white hallway until he came to a door. 34C read the green apartment door. /Home. Finally./ thought the boy as he reached into his pocket, and pulled out a silver key. He inserted the key into the lock and turned it. The lock clicked, he opened it and entered.

The interior of the apartment was nothing special. A couch, TV, and a coffee table in the living room, a stove, refrigerator, countertop, and sink in the kitchen, what a basic home would have. "Dad! Chris! I'm home!" he yelled aloud, but there was no response. The boy shrugged, and walked across the hard wooded floor, to his bedroom door, which he opened and walked through. With an exhausted sigh, he threw his dark blue school bag on the hardwood floor. His room was small and simple, fit with a bed, a dresser, windows, and a computer atop a desk. With another sigh, he collapsed on his bed. As he lay sprawled out on the bed, staring at the white ceiling, he yelled, "I'm going to die of boredom! Will something exciting happen already! I need an adventure!" A very long silence followed. Suddenly, his computer screen glowed white. This grabbed his attention, and he sprang up and ran to the machine. His eyes widened with anticipation, as he bent closer to the computer screen. The screen grew brighter. The light then faded away, and the screen returned to normal.

"Awwww." he moaned as he dropped his head in disappointment. "Must’ve been a glitch." He stood up and turned towards his bed, when he walked into a glowing, red ball floating in mid air. "Whoa, pretty." he said in amazement. He grabbed the floating orb, and it shined so brightly, that he had to shield his eyes from the blinding, red light. The light then faded. He opened his hand, and in the light's place was a red and black device. The gadget was medium sized, and fit perfectly in his hand. It had a black, rubber gripped handle, attached to a gray screen that was built into a red cover. the side of the cover had two black buttons, with a short, thin, black antenna on the top. "Amazing!" he said in excitement, while curiously flexing the device around in his hands to observe it. He shoved it into his pocket. Without warning, the ground beneath the boy's black and white sneakers collapsed, creating a pitch black hole. The boy fell into the hole screaming.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>

Deeper, deeper he plunged. The hole seemed to have no end. Various multicolored lights zoomed past him. /I feel like I'm in a giant screensaver./ He thought to himself, amazed by the whole experience. Beyond the zooming lights, he noticed a opening with light coming out. He fell faster and through the end of the tunnel, when he came into a clearing and stopped, suspended in the blackness of his surrounding. The area was dark, dotted by shining stars, a distant sun, and a gray, radiant moon. /I'm in space! There's no air! I'll die/ He panicked, trying to hold his breath, when he finally couldn't hold it any longer and gasped for air. To his surprise, he could breathe. "Where am I?" he asked himself, confused. As he looked forward, he noticed a large, blue and green planet, that very much resembled planet Earth, but was enveloped in a bright green bubble. As he gazed upon the planet in astonishment, he was interrupted by a giant, thunderous voice.

"Halt! Who dares to trespass!" The loud voice echoed from above.

The boy looked up to see an enormous, winged bird, with two arms and legs, fit with razor sharp talons, descending towards him. It wore a black helmet, with golden, two pronged horns attached. It’s body was encased in golden armor. The boy was intimidated by the creature's size.

"I am Crossmon! Protector of the entrance to the Digital World! Who goes there!" the voice roared again. Crossmon's eyes fell upon the boy. The boy gulped.

"Intruder! State your business!"

"I uh-uh" the boy stuttered, trying to speak.

"Do you have proof of entrance!" The giant bird asked.

They boy shook his head, with his jaw wide open. He was terrified of the monster’s immensity.

"Just as I thought! Trespasser! I shall eliminate thee!" blasted Crossmon's voice.

With those words, Crossmon's body was enveloped in a golden flame. The boy was paralyzed with fear as the flames grew bigger.

"Kaiser Phoen--!"

“Ah! Wait!” Crossmon’s attack was interrupted by the boy's plea.

Crossmon stopped his attack, and the flames engulfing his body instantly disappeared. The boy fumbled around in his pocket, and pulled out the red and black device he had before.

"I-I-I have this." the boy stuttered once again, trembling. Crossmon looked at it, inspecting the gadget. Crossmon gasped.

"A D-Stryke!"

" A D-what?" the boy asked, bewildered.

Crossmon pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"I sincerely apologize. Please enter." Said Crossmon, bowing.

The boy let out a sigh of relief. The giant monster pointed at the green bubble, and a hole appeared in it. The boy floated towards the opening, and into the bubble. Suddenly, gravity pulled him towards the planet, and he started falling again.

"AHHHHHH!" the boy screamed as he plummeted towards the ground. The surrounding, which appeared as a huge blur to the falling boy, was a giant, red rock canyon, with a beautiful, clear blue sky. He kept falling until he came to a sudden halt. Beneath him was a giant, floating, white flower petal in the air. The boy and the petal floated towards the ground until it came to a stop. The petal hovered above the red earth, and the boy hopped off. The petal floated away, until it was caught by a plantlike creature.

This creature was rather short, and unlike nothing the boy has ever seen before. It had a green, thick, stem like body, that was stubbed at the end, with no legs. It had big, green leaves for hands. It’s bright yellow face resembled the sun, and showed a friendly expression. There were white flower petals around it's head. The petals rotated around the creature's head, allowing it to float in mid air. It's dark green, almond shaped eyes shone brightly. The giant flower petal shrunk, and the creature placed it in a missing petal spot on it's head. The creature giggled at the boy.

"Good job Flowamon!" exclaimed a female's voice in the distance. The boy turned to see an Asian girl, slightly shorter than him. She wore yellow overalls with a white t-shirt trimmed with bright green, under the overalls. Her shoulder length black hair was neatly in pigtails, tied with yellow bands. Round eyeglasses covered her hazel eyes. She walked with an open, yellow laptop in her hands towards the flowerlike creature. The creature floated towards the girl. They both looked at the boy. She walked up to the boy, and put one hand out.

"Hi, my name is Meilin, what's yours?"

"Chandler" said the boy, shaking her hand.

"Where am I?" Chandler asked. Meilin closed her laptop and straightened her glasses.

"You're in the Digital World." she informed Chandler.

"The Digital World, so does that mean everything here is digital?" asked Chandler. Meilin nodded.

"So who was that giant golden bird who almost destroyed me?" Chandler continued.

"That would be Crossmon. He guards the entrance to the digital world. You see that giant, green bubble surrounding this world?" explained Meilin.

"Yes." Chandler replied.

"That's the Digital world's firewall. Crossmon is the only one who can open and close the firewall. Anything can get out, but nothing gets in."

"Oh." Chandler nodded.

"This world is inhabited by creatures called Digital Monsters, or Digimon for short. Crossmon is a Digimon, and so is Flowamon." said Meilin, turning towards Flowamon. Chandler walked up to Flowamon and knelt to her.

"Thanks for saving my life, Flowamon." he said, smiling. Instantly, Flowamon darted behind Meilin's legs. Blushing, Flowamon peeked out and gave another, soft giggle.

"Don't worry, Flowamon's always shy around new people." Meilin reassured Chandler. "Hmmm, it seems Crossmon made an exception for you. Normally he destroys anything that tries to enter."

"Yeah, I showed him this." said Chandler, pulling out the red and black device again.

"What is this thing anyway?"

"They're called D-Strykes." explained Meilin, pulling out a similar device. It looked exactly like Chandler's, only the grip and buttons were pale green, and the covering was yellow.

"Oh." Chandler nodded once again.

"I have another question. Who brought me here, and why am I here?" he asked.

"Do you normally ask this many questions?" said Meilin, smiling, but annoyed.

“Sorry.” Chandler apologized.

"I brought you here." said Meilin.

"Why?" Chandler asked.

"Well, it's kind of confusing. I receive orders by e-mail from someone named MDG thedigtalworld.This person is also the one who brought me here in the first place. Well, today he sent me an commandto recruita new Digidestined. You, basically.” Meilin continued.

"So, this MDG person, who is it?" asked Chandler.

"I don't know. I've been trying to ask where to find it, but all it replies is 'You will in time.' It's really frustrating."

“You see, any connection made from the Digital World to the real world results in a Digital Portal, and it's my job to create these portals to recruit Digidestined like yourself." Meilin explained.Chandler nodded, understandingly.

/So that explains why my computer screen lit up, and how I got here in the first place./ Chandler thought to himself.

"Though, I still don't understand how you're a Digidestined, have a D-Stryke, but no partner Digimon."

"Partner Digimon?" Chandler asked.

"Yes. Every Digidestined is supposed to have a partner Digimon. Like Flowamon here. She's my partner, and I’m her partner." Meilin smiled at her.

"I'm...not that special." Said Flowamon, cheeks growing red.

"Well, let's get going. We have a mission." said Meilin, as she placed her laptop in it’s green carrying bag, and placed it on her back.

"What mission?" asked Chandler.

"We're on a mission to defeat Pharaohmon before he fully awakens and unleashes destruction and chaos on the Digital World."

"So, why can't we just destroy him now?" Chandler asked. Meilin scratched her head, trying to come up with an answer.

"Heh, well, There are two problems. One, we're not strong enough on our own, and we need more reinforcements, and two..." Meilin trailed off.

"Two...?" Chandler asked.

"and two is...we don't know where he is! Eheheheh." explained Meilin, chuckling, but embarrassed. Chandler shook his head, sighing. The group of three started walking through the canyon.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>

"So, where are going anyway?" asked Chandler.

"Well, we're trying to travel through this canyon, into a village on the other side. But first we have to pass through a forest." informed Meilin.

"A forest next to a canyon?" Chandler asked, confused. Meilin shrugged.

"Hey, it's the Digital World, nothing is ordinary here."

As the small group of three traveled along the hard, red earth, in the blazing hot sun, Chandler started complaining.

"Ah, It's too hot! I can't take anymore of this heat!"

"Well, we're in the middle of a canyon on a sunny day, what did you expect?" replied Meilin, stopping to bend down and tie her white sneakers. Flowamon stopped with her.

Chandler walked ahead. Accidentally, he tripped over a medium sized, brown rock, jutting out of the ground. Flowamon gave another giggle. Frustrated by the heat, Chandler kicked the rock. "Stupid rock!" he yelled. Suddenly, the ground shook, and the area in front of Chandler crumbled to reveal a gigantic monster arising from the earth. The monster was brown, with long arms with fists the size of boulders. He had a mask made of metal, and appeared to be made out of stone. It's eyes were pure white, as if it were possessed. Meilin stood up and noticed the giant monster. Flowamon gasped.

"Hmmm..." Meilin hummed, and sat on a large, flat, nearby rock, with Flowamon following right behind. She opened up her yellow laptop and started using it. The humongous, stone-made monster’s roar echoed throughout the canyon. Suddenly, Chandler's D-Stryke started shining. He took it out of his pocket and examined it, then pressed a button. A small hologram opened up on his D-Stryke, which gave the monster's picture, followed by some text.

"Golemon, Virus Type." Chandler read aloud.

"He's at the Champion level. Special attacks: Golemon Punch, and Crimson Curse." Chandler stood there, puzzled. He didn’t understand what it meant.

"Golemon Punch!" yelled the Digimon, as one of his large fists fell towards Chandler.

Narrowly, Chandler dodged the attack by running away from it. Golemon's punch shook the earth as it made impact.

/I don't understand. Golemon are usually peaceful Digimon. Why would it attack/ thought Meilin, as she typed. Flowamon nudged her.

"Meilin...shouldn't we help him?" she asked, concerned.

"No. He can do this on his own. Besides, I want to see what he's really capable of." Flowamon nodded in response, but worried about Chandler.

"Golemon Punch!" yelled the golem Digimon again, as he sent another punch towards Chandler.

"Hey, I'm sorry for calling you stupid!" Chandler apologized, once again dodging the attack. Golemon roared.

"Hey!" Chandler yelled back to Meilin.

"Aren't you going to do something!" he asked. Meilin kept typing.

"I don't have to do anything. It's your fight." she said, sharply. Chandler groaned.

"Oh, and a piece of advice. Hold your D-Stryke, and yell "D-Stryke Activate."

"Why?" Chandler asked, confused.

"Just do it." she commanded.

Chandler ran from another punch and took a deep breath. He held his D-Stryke in the air. "D-Stryke! Activate!" Chandler yelled, and with those words, two, long, red blades made out of light, shot out of both ends of Chandler's D-Stryke.

"Hey, it worked!" he yelled in triumph.

/A lance? Impressive./ Meilin thought, as she observed the battle.

"Golemon Punch!" shouted Golemon again, as he sent another punch at Chandler.

This time, the punch hit the ground, sending a wave of dust at Chandler. He covered his eyes with his arms. The gust was so strong, it knocked him off of his feet. Chandler got back up. He looked at his weapon, and then at Meilin.

"What do I do with this thing!" he asked, yelling.

"Figure it out." Meilin responded, paying attention to her computer.

Chandler didn’t understand why Meilin was being so unhelpful, but he quickly turned his attention back to Golemon. Golemon spotted Chandler, and ran at him. Chandler was frozen with fear.

/What can I do? He’s just to strong./ he thought, begining to doubt himself.

"Golemon--!" Golemon yelled, raising it's fist. "Hurry!" Flowamon yelled, worried.

"--Punch!" shouted Golemon as it's large, rock hard fist came slamming down towards Chandler.

Chandler gulped, and stood his ground. He quickly pointed his red lance at Golemon's fist. Golemon's fist made contact with the lance, and with a howl of pain, Golemon stabbed his fist on Chandler's lance. He staggered back, almost losing his balance. Golemon was overwhelmed with frustration, and went rampant. He was stomping all over the place, making the ground shake. His roaring sounded like thunder as he displayed his anger. Blinded by rage he randomly turned towards Meilin and Flowamon, and slowly running in their direction, shaking the earth with his stomping.

/He's stomping towards Meilin and Flowamon! They'll be crushed/ thought Chandler, scared at the thought.

Golemon's large foot was right above Meilin and Flowamon. Flowamon panicked, while Meilin kept her cool.

"Meilin...we have to get out of here!" Flowamon warned.

"Just stay here." Meilin reassured Flowamon.

/There's nothing I can do! But they need help/ Chandler fought with himself. Golemon's foot came crashing down above Meilin and Flowamon.

"Meilin! Flowamon! Look out!" Chandler screamed, but they didn't move.

Meilin gave a smirk, with her eyes closed. Chandler yelled with frustration, and gave one big slash with his lance. A large, red blade of light ripped through Golemon. Golemon stopped dead in his tracks, and fell backwards, unconscious. Golemon moaned with pain.

/I did it./ Chandler thought to himself, with a sigh of relief.

He then collapsed to the ground, on his hands and knees. Meilin noticed a black shadow with red eyes, leak from Golemon. It silently slid across the ground, and seeped into a crevice in the earth.

/It's no doubt Pharaohmon doing./ She thought to herself.

Flowamon gave a sigh of relief. Meilin closed her laptop, stood up, and walked towards Chandler, who was panting from exhaustion. She helped him up.

"Nice job, for your first time." she congratulated Chandler, smiling.

"What were you thinking! You could’ve been crushed! What if I didn't stop him! You guys would've been pancakes!" Chandler snapped back yelling.

"But it worked, didn't it?" Meilin winked. Flowamon giggled at their argument.

"Hmph!" said Chandler, turning his head away from Meilin.

"Putting your lives in danger to make me attack." Chandler mumbled.

He smiled, then chuckled. The group of three set off, across the canyon until they came to a cliff. Flowamon floated ahead and looked down.

"Umm...it's the forest." she said to Meilin.

"We finally made it!" Chandler yelled victoriously. Meilin smiled.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>

In the depths of an eerie, dark crypt, with walls, pillars, and floors made of stone, lies a golden sarcophagus, atop a stone altar. Torches in the room instantly set fire and illuminates the area. Small pictures and symbols spread across the walls are revealed in the light. It's an Egyptian tomb. Within the golden sarcophagus, two glowing, red crimson eyes open in the darkness, and a cold, gruesome voice is heard. "They‘ve arrived...It's time I set my plans into action..."
