Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Digital Active Series: Digimon Adventure ❯ Chapter I: Ready For The Digital Active ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon or anything of the franchise. All concept is under the ownership of Akiyoshi Hongo, Toei Animation, and Disney (did i forget something?).
 
Author's note: the reason i deleted the story from Mediaminer and other such as Fanfiction.net and Ficwad because i needed to do some serious research on the Digimon franchise; Tamogatchi, Manga, Games, Cards, and Anime. Not only did i spend nearly six months away from the website studying to get a better understanding, but i also looked up more on science, technology(a big influence in the fic), politics, weaponry, and countries, especially Japan.
 
The fanfic's idea is that I'd like to see the Digimon Adventure storyline from the viewpoint of 'real life', but to keep it at a more 'sensible understanding'. In other words, this story may go in a serious turn of events, but nothing too serious as to start controversy. Thought i didn't like i a little bit, the 02 ending counts in this fic, as it is an interlude of both BelialVamdemon's defeat (MaloMyotismon) and the 25-year jump.
 
As i had wrote in my profile, this isn't the only fic I'm writing. In fact, there are about two in work now; this one, referred to as D-Active Series: Digimon Adventure, taking place during the fall of 2003. and the second being D-Active Series: Digimon Tamers, occurring a year after the movie Runaway Locomon/Runaway Digimon Express. In both fics, i plan on using their original Japanese names instead of the American dub.
 
In closing, readers can expect to see characters from two Japanese mangas in this version; C'mon Digimon and Digimon V-Tamer. Also, i'll be updating about every 7-10 days or less.
 
 
 
Chapter I: Ready For The D-Active?! Intensifying Information is Given!
 
 
Odaiba, Tokyo Bay (inner city)
Friday, September 19, 2003
5:57 P.M.
 
Inner city, Odaiba. A popular shopping and sightseeing area for all of Tokyo and foreigners alike. Though a Friday, it was no different from any other day passing by citizens. Life resumed a norm; school, work, study, the usual. However, today was about to become one in a few to change the mood of earth, and it's knowledge of Digimon...if a bit remained. Everyone's eyes are suddenly glued to a blue van going through casually. It wasn't any van, but that of a major electronics company; Josaki Electronicals.
 
The van's arrival into the island surprised many, as something like this was unlikely to occur from the companies massive schedule. Of all who looked, gossiping of a possible reason, one, in a blue jersey and blue-green jeans, seemed to take a bigger notice, wondering. On her shoulder stood a cherry blond owl only two feet tall, it's green eyes glancing the same as each in the crowd.
 
“Fukuroumon,” Miharu Harukichi, the Japanese female was fourteen-years, asking her Digimon partner about said van. “isn't that van from Josaki Electronicals?”
 
“yes.” the cherry blond owl confirms. “thought it is awkward why there in Odaiba.”
 
“why did you say that, Shouldn't it be the same for us? How we traveled from Osaka.”
 
“taking the subway wouldn't be any better. not only financially, but time-wise.”
 
Fukuroumon clears his throat. “may i remind you this was your idea. As you said? 'would it be too much of an issue to Evolve to Ultimate and fly in secrecy to Odaiba', tho' it's odd how no one could spot a 15-foot, light brown bird and a fourteen-year old.”
 
“yeah,” she admits. “and you agreed.”
 
“only because you...”
 
the conversation halts to that point, not wanting to get out of hand.
 
“but still, how on earth are we suppose to find the Blue Cruiser around here, Odaiba's bigger than i thought.”
 
“...i told you we should have left with the others.” the cherry blond owl mumbles.
 
she turns to her partner.“I'm sorry, come again?”
 
“we would not need to rush if IF we left earlier.” he admits.
 
“the blue cruiser opens at five, and--”
 
“you thought by waiting 25 minutes before, we would, as you said, 'have no problem at all'.”
 
sometimes it's downright annoying when you're right. She thought, frustrated.
 
Miharu and Fukurumon were headed for what's referred to as the Blue Cruiser. Blue Cruiser developed in January of 2003, a few weeks after the Chosen gathered in the Digital World to help stop BelialVamdemon. The idea and construction was by Digital Enterprise, or D.E. For short, a company built around the same time. It's actually an Internet cafe the size of a convention center, inside and out. It was located in Odaiba as a request from both the president of both companies, though no reason was given.
 
“hey, what can you see on the side of the van?”
 
“I'll check, but i can't guarantee perfection on accuracy.” the owl's eyes suddenly brighten. “Kuro-Zuappu!!” Looking closer at the van. On it, Fukurumon spots a banner, written in romaji.
 
“looks like an invitation.”
 
“can you read it out?”
 
“hold on,” the owl keeps steady not to strain it's eyesight. “Pacchiri!” focusing, the romaji text became clear enough for the cherry blond owl to describe.
 
“well, what's it say.”
 
“hold on!” he mumbled, steadying it's focus on the van's banner. Miharu, you're a very impatient young lady. He then thought in annoyance.
 
“alright then.” his eyes return to normal shade. “the banner clear says 'IN THREE DAYS, THERE WILL BE A COMPETITION IN MINAMI OSAKA! TO LEARN MORE, VISIT THE NEAREST BLUE CRUISER INTERNET CAFE! HAVE A GOOD DAY!'”
 
“hmm,” Miharu whispers to herself. “wonder if the guys know about it?”
 
just then, Miharu's D-Terminal vibrates from her waist. Now holding it, a message appeared. Inside the e-mail read the following.
 
Chosen,
 
In 24 hours, there will be a festive gathering in the Digital World. This very memorable occasion is to celebrating and enjoy the many times peace and tranquility to our world was snatched away, yet given back by you generous humans. As a great offer, we want to give this as thanks for your time. Any member of your family may come if they desire to.
 
 
After reading, a puzzled look comes across the fourteen-year-old's face.
 
“something wrong?” Fukurumon asked.
 
“it's not signed.”
 
“and?”
 
“when a message is sent, it's usually signed.”
 
“things don't always happen as they're always do...” it was there something struck the owl mentally. “Miharu, exactly HOW are we going to get there?”
 
she sighs. “...good point. I don't even know.”

on top of a tall building, a darkly cloaked figure observes below Miharu and Fukurumon. It now turns away.
 
“Data Collected! Mission Accomplished!”

Blue Cruiser Internet Cafe (Odaiba, Tokyo Bay)
Friday, September 15, 2003
6:15 P.M.
 
The Blue Cruiser, an Internet cafe in Odaiba taller than a old roman castle, twice as wide as Shinto shrine, walls around inside painted in a mixture of blue and yellow. The floor of the wide-spaced den was of nothing special texture than pine wood. Inside there were many young children; those from only seven years to nineteen years old. Chatting and socializing, the Blue Cruiser seemed no different from any other Internet cafe...if one could hold Digimon 10 to 16 feet tall, even for Ultimates, though most were bigger.
 
There were arenas for sparring at each corner; North, East, West, and South. To the far northeast corner of the room stood a sturdy painted door, no bigger than eight feet. Inside sat a group of children no more than eleven to thirteen years and their Digimon partners no bigger in size but eight. Aside from the total sitting, one had stood a few feet from the group, a seemingly attractive blond, dark-tipped hair fifteen-year-old girl in blue long-sleeve shirt, beige carpi pants, listened closely to many questions asked, answering to the best of her knowledge. this girl's name was Ajibana Fujiwara. Alongside her, a calico-colored cat Digimon whose height reached to her knees, looking at each in the group. The feline Digimon's name is Mikemon.
 
“What was it like being a Chosen?”
“What was it like fighting all the mean and evil Digimon?”
“How many were part of the Chosen team you were on?”
“Was it hard putting up with any of your teammates?”
“Was it scary being in the Digital World?”
 
as the so-called 'interview' went on, questions similar to those flew across the room at an alarming rate. Some would say a leopard's rate. As if not stressful enough, one alone struck the entire room from a ten-year-old.
 
“Ms. Fujiwara...?”
 
what am i! an old lady?! The blond thought, irritated.
 
“...are you entering the D-Active Tournament?”
 
immense silence engulfs the room, each of the young children exchanging looks. A voice from the entrance speaks, asking the same unanswered question a younger child had before. A gray haired fourteen-year-old male wearing a black shirt and white pants, alongside a floating, gray-colored Digimon.
 
“yes, 'MS' Fujiwara.” he comments sarcastically.
 
The blond sighs in disbelief. Shinichiro...Tapirmon...
 
are you going to enter the D-Active Tournament?”
 
the same silence rebuilds around the room. Everyone now wonders what will be her answer.
 
“any day you're ready to give us an answer...”
 
the blond remained silent, increasing the already tense situation.
 
“too scared to answer, alright. But may i remind you that the Chosen who've came after us are entering, such as the V-Tamer team.”
 
whispers fill each corner of the room, now knowing that the tournament may become interesting to watch for the V-Tamer Chosen's involvement.
 
“and a few of Odaiba's.”
 
she then gasps, before saying, “ODAIBA!? I've heard a lot of things about them!”
 
“so...what will it be?” Shinichiro now returns to the subject.
 
“oh, and by the way,” the gray-hair male begins adding. “would it be of any help if i told to Kenterou Kamon and Kuroda Akuro were entering.”
 
whispers grew louder around the room, knowing one quarter of the Osaka Team would be included.
 
those two... Mikemon thought. ...that means...Bunomon and Kikoumon are in too!
 
Ajibana looks up to the ceiling, now holding her Digivice beginning to glow. The blond turns toward Shinichiro.
 
“D-1! D-Active Up!” the Digivice model slowly forms to a calico-color bo staff. “Tell me Shinichiro,” Ajibana points her staff his direction. “does this qualify as an answer?”
 
“D-1! D-Active Up!” the gray hair male's digivice slowly molds into a green rapier, pointing in her direction. “as they say, you bet it does.”

Digital Enterprise (Osaka, Japan)
Friday, September 15, 2003
8:52 P.M.
 
 
Nightfall. The company of Digital Enterprise was expected to close in less than twelve minutes. However, only two figures remained, hidden in shadow down an empty hallway.
 
“Anything you can tell me about each team involved in the Eastern D-Active Tournament?” the taller asked.
 
“Eastern? You mean...” the shorter began interviewing.
 
“...yes, there are three other tournaments taking place on the exact same date; Northern, Western, and Southern.”
 
“intriguing...about all the Japanese Chosen.”
 
“yes.”
 
the shorter figure holds out a sheet of paper, written with extensive details. A wicked smile forms across the taller's face, looking at the sheet.
 
“send you're best after the following. Collect even more data. Once you've finished, do as you wish.”
 
“i see. But why have you excluded these four?”
 
“because i have more important plans for them...especially those friends of Josaki's son.”
