Digimon Journey - 01
Chapter 01 – In The Beginning, There Were Wizards
The rain was pouring down, beating down on the land of the Digital Plane. Wizardmon stood, his hat and cloak soaked from the downpour. As the lightning striked, it illuminated the darkness and Wizardmon could see the outline of another.
“The wall is collapsing! What do you plan to do about it? We must do soemthing, Lord Seraphimon!”
Seraphimon, Ultimate Level
The highest ranking of the angel Digimon, he uses his golden wings to fly. He cleanses evil with his Seven Heavens Attack
Wizardmon, Adult Level
This young magician calls thunder clouds with his incanations of fire and earth! His special attacks are Thunder Ball and Magical Game.
“Wizardmon. You are misguided. We are going to do nothing. Once the wall falls, we will journey to the real world and take it over!” Wizardmon’s eyes widened.
“What!?! You’re mad! I have no choice! Lord Seraphimon, I must stop you!” Seraphimon laughed.
“Then your fate is sealed.” Wizardmon held up his staff.
“Magical Game!” Lightning striked down on Seraphimon but he didn’t even flinch. “Heh.” Seraphimon held out his palms.
“Seven Heavens!”
Seven large glowing orbs appeared in front of him. All seven orbs fired at Wizardmon. Six of the seven flew past him but the last slammed right into Wizardmon. He fell over onto the ground, too injured to move. He felt he was on the verge of being deleted.
“Poor Wizardmon. If only you wren’t so foolish. I’ll leave you to rot…” Seraphimon turned and dissapeared into the darkness.
“Lord Seraphimon, what has become of you?”
Another Digimon watched from afar. He had the same outline as Wizardmon. A white light appeared over Wizardmon and slowly started to descend onto his body.
“Sweet light. Take me away…” The light engulfed Wizardmon. Just as it was about to go out, the other Digimon jumped into the light, just as it went out.
Opening: Far-Off Promise
“You and I walk down this lonley road. C’mon! Let’s go! Our journey awaits! Let’s reach for that blue sky and soar to the heavens together! Whatever happens, even if we are sperated, we promised to meet back here, where our dreams began. Wherever you may go, I know I’ll be there too. That’s for sure. We’ll go on together, even through a rough thunderstorm. So go on, let’s go! Our journey awaits! To that place where dreams become reality. I’ll take your hand, and we’ll go there. Together.
The alarm clocked buzzed loudly on that nightstand. A hand reached out from under the blankets and turned it off. A boy crawled out of bed; he had fairly long brown hair for a boy. He was about 5’11 and was nothing but skin and bones. That boy’s name was Kevin; thirteen years old and in the seventh grade. Sunlight came through the window and hurt his brown eyes.
“Good morning to you too, sun.” He said in a sarcastic tone. He sighed and put on some shorts. He walked downstairs to the living room and then into the kitchen.
Kevin was in the middle of summer break. He was going into the seventh grade. He smelled the air and smiled.
“Eggs and bacon. Smells delicious.” Said Kevin. A brown haired woman was standing in the kitchen wearing a business suit.
“Kevin, eat up.” She said giving Kevin a plate of eggs and bacon as he sat down at the table.
“So what’s on your agenda today?” She asked. “Dunno. Probably see what Sammy is up to. Mom, where’s dad?” His mother smiled.
“He went to work and so am I.” She walked out the door without another word. Kevin showered and dressed himself.
“Now what to do…” Kevin heard a knock at the front door. He anwsered it and found himself face to face with a boy the same heighth as Kevin. He had short blonde hair, blue eyes, and was thin just like Kevin.
“Hey Sammy.” Said Kevin. “Top of the mornin to ya, Kevin!” He replied. Kevin looked at the clock on the wall. “Sammy, its 12:30.”
“Oh well. What are ya up to?”
“Chores… wanna come?”
“Sure.”
They walked outside, the weather was suprisingly cool for summer. Kevin and Sammy lived in the country, in the state of Michigan. They lived next door to eachother, another girl of the same age lived across the road. But Kevin and Sammy never talked to her. Those three houses for the only houses for miles. They lived about twenty minutes from the nearest town. The boys worked on the chores for a good couple of hours. When they finally fnished, Sammy struck up an idea.
“Hey Kevin. Let’s go to the ‘spot.’”
The spot was a secret area the boys found in the woods behind their houses. What was back there was spectacular; it was a small waterfall.
“Yeah, now there’s an idea! Let’s go!” Said Kevin, dropping the shovel he was leaning on.
Something caught Kevin’s eyes in the woods and he looked around him. “What’s up?” Asked Sammy. “I thought I saw something there in the woods. Just my imagination though.” The boys walked down the path they made a few years back . They continued on, unaware that something was watching them. Finally, they arrived to the “spot.” They sat down close enough to see the waterfalling.
“Help me…” Came a voice from the woods.
“Who’s there!?!” Replied Kevin, standing up. A Digimon came out of the woods. It looked like Wizardmon but he was light blue and white. “Sorry to startle you. My name is Sorcerymon. My brother is injured, I need your help.” Kevin and Sammy exchanged looks and nodded. They follwoed Sorcerymon into the woods until they came to another Digimon; Wizardmon laying on the ground.
“Who is that?” Asked Sammy.
“This is my brother, Wizardmon. Please help him!” Replied Sorcerymon.
Kevin walked up to Wizardmon and bent down. He touched his chest and a light appeared before Kevin. Wizardmon’s wounds healed and the light turned into an orange and black device. Another appeared before Sammy but it was Blue and White. Wizardmon stood up.
“So it’s true then. We are partners with humans.” Said Wizardmon, watching Kevin.
“I don’t mean to be rude,” Said Kevin “But what are you?”
Wizardmon straightened himself up.
“My friend, we are Digimon. We come from an alternate world called the Digital World. These devices you hold are your Digivice OXS. We come bearing bad news. The wall seperating the worlds is collapsing. We are governed by three celestio Digimon: Lord Seraphimon, Lady Ophanimon, and Lord Cherubimon. Latley, Lord Seraphimon has been acting funny. He wishes to take over your world once the wall collapses. He used to be a nice, caring, Digimon, but now… but we are here to prevent him from taking over.”
Kevin looked up at the sky. “So you’re going against your leader? That’s…” Wiazrdmon stopped Kevin from speaking.
“A Digimon is near.” Said Sorcerymon.
Then a turtle Digimon with a spiked shell came into view.
Tortomon, Adult Level.
His heavy, hard shell is super heavy weight class and can send out repeated attacks. His special attacks are Shell Phalanx and Ground Dash.
Sorcerymon, Adult Level
A wizard currently in training. He once looked after Seraphimon and his castle while he slept. His special attacks are Crystal Barrage and Aquarius Fill
“Let us handle him! Magical Game!” Wizardmon fired lightning at Tortomon but didn’t do anything to him.
“I will fight too, brother! Crystal Barrage!” Sorcerymon fired many pointed arrow heads from his staff, made of ice, at Tortomon. Tortomon shook it off and advanced on the kids.
“Sorcerymon, his weak point is udnerneath him. We need to flip tortomon over!” Said Wizardmon. Sorcerymon nodded and jabbed his staff into the ground. “Crysta Barrage!” The crystals shot up out of the ground underneath Tortomon, knocking him onto his back.
“Now! Thunder Ball! Magical Game!”
Both attacks from Wizardmon hit Tortomon and he disntigrated into many bits of data. The data split into two streams and entered Kevin and Sammy’s Digivices.
“So it seems Lord Seraphimon is sending minions to defeat us. The wall is weak so weaker Digimon can go through but he is too strong. It seems this won’t be out last battle.” Said Sorcerymon.
“So, together we have to stop these Digimon? Wow. What a day.” Said Sammy. Kevin bent down to eye level with Wizardmon.
“It’s good to be your partner, Wizardmon.” He said. Wizardmon’s eyes started to tear up.
“It’s good to be you’re partner too…”
