    A/N: I'm Legendarian Mistress, and I have just started on this Digimon fic, but intend to post updates as regularly as I can. Also, please be aware that Origins and Secrets takes place twenty years before Time Shards, which is the first of Fuyu's planned fics. Now then, let's get moving into "Origins and Secrets".

    Rated: M for violence and death.

    Origins and Secrets

    Chapter 1

    "... An abnormal weather pattern has settled over Odaiba today and won't lift. We encourage you to stay indoors until authorities are able to learn of the abnormality's origin. This is Ryoko Da'ar of Odaiba 34.7; back to you, Kara."

    "Thanks Ryoko. As you may know-"

    Mrs. Kimura fiddled with the dial, turning off the radio. The blonde-haired woman hurried over to the base of the staircase that led to the rooms on the second floor. "Yoshino, Noriko! Hurry please, or you'll be late for school!"

    "Coming, Mum!" Yoshino called back loudly, bored with today already.

    One of the older boy's younger siblings skipped past; it was Noriko, the oldest of his sisters. She giggled as she turned her black-haired face in her blonde brother's direction. "Don't be like that, Yoshino," the girl replied. "School will be fun today, I'm sure of it!" With that said, she continued on her path downstairs, making her way to the kitchen table where Yoshino joined in a couple of seconds later.

    As their mother finished delegating out breakfast to her six children, Yoshino asked Noriko his usual question in a process he did every morning. "How did you sleep last night, little sister?"

    Noriko answered that her sleep had been disturbed by a vision of a giant white tiger. Yoshino blinked several times, adding that he, too, had seen a huge golden dragon in his. The sixteen-year-old wondered what it could possibly mean, but was quickly scolded by his mother when she saw his wandering expression and also told him to begin breakfast or he'd never get to school.

    "Yes, Mum," the boy groaned and started getting stuck into his cereal.

    Noriko tittered again, before she finished hers.

    ...

    "Hey, Rukia!" Rukia Sagisu turned, her tightly braided long brown hair hitting her in the face lightly. Yoshino was standing there, holding something.

    "Yeah, Yoshi?" She joked, using the nickname his friends called him by. His blue eyes stared warmly at her.

    "You dropped this; I don't know what it is, though," he answered, holding up a crimson device that resembled a wireless computer mouse. Rukia paled and quickly snatched it. How could she have dropped her Digivice?

    "Thanks," she replied awkwardly, wondering if the others had received theirs yet. She started speculating whether the others had had the visions and been told of their fate. Rukia herself had been addressed by Zhuqiaomon, who called himself the Red Phoenix of the South. He gruffly informed her that she was one of five Chosen Children who would be receiving their Digivices, known as the D-Kinect.

    "Earth to Rukia?" Yoshino was waving a hand close to her face. She returned to the present and swatted it away. "Ah, so you've come back to us." It was his turn to joke now. Everyone in their two classes knew that when Rukia was in deep concentration, she zoned out.

    "Oi, you two, hurry up! Class starts in five minutes," a brown-haired girl called to them as she jogged past. Both looked at each other, before bolting to their respective school buildings.

    ...

    The Mega level peered down at the Champion, who blinked at him curiously. "Are you quite certain of this plan?"

    "Quite," replied the dragon. "The half-breed and the others have called them."

    "Of course they've been called. It will make little difference in the end. They will fall."

    "You sound confident," the Champion answered.

    "My plans are perfect. Of course I am." He waved him off. "Now go."

    "Yes, boss," the four-eyed dragon sneered, with a hint of malice in his voice as he flew away.

    The Mega snorted. "Ah, what a fun relationship this will be."

    ...

    "That's great work, Tanner!" Mr. Ryan, the American teacher for Tanner's class of nine and ten-year-olds, praised the boy. "You're doing really well in this lesson."

    "Th-thanks, Mr. Ryan," the brown-haired boy stammered. "B-but I've still got the rest of the day ahead of me."

    The man sighed; he wondered if Tanner would ever get over the deeply buried shock of losing his parents. "Alright, everyone," he raised his voice, having heard the rest of the class becoming rowdy. "Settle down and go back to your work."

    "Yes, Mr. Ryan," the class chorused, faces red at being caught in the act.

    ...

    It has begun. A familiar, gruff voice entered her mind.

    "Huh?" Rukia looked around, having heard something, or for that matter, someone.

    Hiroshi looked over, his yellow eyes puzzled. "What's wrong, Rukia?" Rukia glanced at him and grinned widely at the boy to hide her discomfort.

    It's begun… You will go.

    "Ah nothing, I thought I heard something," she lied, hiding a shiver. As he turned away, she glanced out the window. "Mother..." she whispered. "I'm scared. I have to leave you. I know you won't be able to cope."

    ...

    "Hey, Yoshino, can I get some help please? Miss Sudazu wants me to take these to Mr. Tsurumaki, but I can tell just by looking that there's too many..." A white-haired girl asked.

    "Sure, Zoë, why not?" Yoshino responded. "We'll take half each." As the twenty history books were divided into two groups, carried by both teens, the boy glanced at his cousin. I wonder what role she has to play in this mission. Fanglongmon said that myself, Noriko, Rukia, Hiroshi, Tanner and Zoë would be going; but what I don't understand is why us?

    The two soon arrived at Mr. Tsurumaki's room, where they placed the history books on his desk. Yoshino left a note on one of them saying that he and Zoë had delivered them upon Miss Sudazu's request. They left, going back to their classroom.

    ...

    School was over and Rukia heard Hiroshi breathe a sigh of relief as the bell clanged. All of the students exited their classrooms and made their way to the school gate, where six in particular stopped for a talk.

    "Did you guys get the same weird dream?" Yoshino was asking Rukia, Tanner, Hiroshi and Zoë. When all bar Rukia stared at him strangely, he clarified: "I was spoken to by a golden dragon and Noriko had a vision of a giant white tiger."

    "My dream had a long blue dragon," Hiroshi grumbled.

    "A-and I was approached by a two-headed turtle," Tanner stumbled over his words.

    I knew it, Rukia asserted mentally. We are the five. "As for myself, a phoenix came to me." But that doesn't explain the sixth, Zoë.

    "In my dream, I was approached by a robed human," Zoë responded.

    "Anyway," Hiroshi drawled, not seeing where this conversation was heading. "Tanner's had a hard day today, so I'm going to take him home."

    Shrugs and nods of compliance came from the others who followed, but they all got as far as the park, where the clouds were significantly darker than anywhere else. It was there that they saw a man in snow white torn clothes and his face hidden. He wore brown boots with buckles on them. The man wore a white cape and hat. In one of his gloved hands was a staff with a snowflake. Whoever he was, what he did next surprised everyone. His staff slammed into the ground and a light began overtaking him, before he was gone in the blink of an eye.

    "We're all here now. It can start." The others turned to look at Tanner. "We're going. I can feel it." Noriko's eyes narrowed and she tensed defensively.

    Yoshino frowned and looked around, not quite catching the hidden meaning. Rukia shivered. The weather report didn't mention this cold front. She glanced up, expecting to see snow. Her eyes widened, as her vision caught green and red light. "Why are the aurorae here?"

    "Um guys, there are bright stars in the light!" Tanner cried. He seemed to be back to normal and was pointing at the sky. They all looked up.

    "Should we run?" Hiroshi asked, his voice now quavering. Yoshino secretly agreed.

    "No point," Zoë replied quietly. "They're coming for us. There's no way to avoid it." She smirked faintly and muttered, almost to herself: "I was right. This was fate after all." Noriko's earlier suspicion infected Yoshino now and he watched her. She knows an awful lot about this.

    Abruptly, the world vanished into light. Using his other arm, Yoshino covered his eyes. The next thing he knew, he was plummeting downward, or at least what he thought was down. What's going on here? Yoshino felt fear wash over him. We haven't stopped falling. Are we going to die?

    He didn't get a response.

    The whiteness faded and he could see green. Inhaling, he smelled grass. We're in a meadow. He rolled over, surprised to feel his left hand clenched around something. Moving his head to see, he unclenched his fist. The device from before was still solid in his hand. I shouldn't be able to hold this. Sitting up, he turned it over in his hands. It still looked like a wireless computer mouse, but it was now more digitized. His was grey.

    He looked around, seeing the other five collapsed as he had been. "Everybody okay?" There were general groans of consensus. One after the other, they all sat up and looked at the device in their hands, barring Zoë.

    "What are these, do you think?" Rukia muttered, her pale green eyes curious.

    "Those are Digivices, specifically called D-Kinects. You need them to travel in and out of the Digital World." Yoshino turned toward the voice, not recognizing the creature as he strolled over to him.

    "You mind telling me who you are?" He sounded curious, not annoyed. The creature gave him a sneer from behind his collar.

    "I'm Sorcerymon, a Champion level Digimon whose attacks are Crystal Barrage and Aquarius Fill." Behind him were four other Digimon.

    A bouncy creamy kitten leaped onto Noriko's head and grinned. "I'm Salamon, glad to meet you! Let's do our best now, okay?"

    A dog made her way over to her partner, only she was larger with red ears. "Labramon," she greeted friendly-like. "Hiya!"

    The third one, a large owl-like creature with a ninja's outfit, gave a confident smirk. "Falcomon," he introduced, looking slightly smug. "Glad to meet you. I think I'm going to enjoy this."

    The last was a small purple dragon, who shuffled over shyly. "I'm Monodramon," he said, looking away from his partner's gaze. "Nice to meet you. I... I hope I can be of help."
     
    Oh wow. That wasn't bad. Maybe you could try describing what your characters look like a little more? Just a suggestion, feel free to disregard. :3
    It's a nice, Digimon feeling story. Which is good, for a Digimon story, of course. xDD;;
    Looking forward to the next chapter. Keep up the good work!

    Chapter 2

    "So, you have arrived?" A woman's voice was heard seemingly from thin air, before she materialized near them. She had a robe on and she pushed back the hood.

    Zoë gasped in recognition. It's her! The girl has, as was mentioned earlier, white hair that reaches her shoulders and is contained by a hair-tie and circular crimson eyes. She is the average height for a fifteen-year-old and very fit, from always running. Zoë's top is plain turquoise and she wears denim shorts. Her shoes are expensive steel-toed boots.

    The woman was dark-skinned and had long-flowing black hair. "My name is Candeena," she introduced herself. "I am a Watcher and was designated to be your Guardian."

    Sorcerymon snorted disdainfully. "Get it right, Candeena," he countered, his expression dark. "You're a half-breed and you know it."

    Candeena turned her gaze to the underhanded Digimon. "That may be, but they don't need to know my origins immediately. Is that perfectly clear, Sorcerymon?"

    "If you say so." Sorcerymon kept his tone even.

    "Your journey will be difficult, Chosen ones," Candeena explained, facing the group once again. "A power struggle between two Digimon has begun."

    "Sounds difficult," Falcomon mused. "Interesting."

    "J-just what are D-digimon?" Tanner stuttered. Tanner has brown hair and green eyes, his hair a spiky mess, ends having being gelled to stand upright. He's scrawny, but a good soccer player, his skin lightly tanned. He wears a faded blue shirt and black shorts. Tanner's shoes are worn from all of the walking he does.

    "Digital creatures that live here in this parallel world to you: the Digital World. They are your friends here."

    "I would hardly call myself a friend to a human," Sorcerymon grumbled, staring pointedly at Candeena.

    "What do you prefer; an enemy? There could be worse things than a friend to humans. Settle for partner if you must."

    "Don't beat around the bushes, Candeena. You know I was employed by the-"

    "Do not speak of your underhandedness in their presence!" Candeena raised her voice.

    The children looked between them curiously, unsure of what to say.

    "What are you talking about?" Rukia inquired softly. Her eyes are a pale green. She typically wears a violet shirt with grey capris and white and blue sneakers. She has tanned skin from always being outside.

    "You'll find out when you must," Candeena replied curtly.

    Hiroshi shrugged. "Whatever," he muttered in annoyance. He has flat black hair and eerie yellow eyes. Hiroshi seems rough around the edges, trousers torn at the cuffs and his purple shirt sleeves ripped off. His shoes are very worn.

    Salamon frowned and looked at them. "It's okay," she chirped brightly. "I'm sure we'll figure it out sooner or later!"

    "I hope you're right Salamon," Yoshino stated. Suddenly, a large, black dragon appeared above them.

    Monodramon jumped. "That's..."

    "Little mono-boy scared of me?" The four-eyed beast taunted. "Well, you should be! You pitiful beings are causing my master a lot of trouble!"

    Monodramon trembled, teeth clenched with slight rage.

    "I am Devidramon, a servant of Lord Tactimon," the Champion declared. "And we both object to your being here!" Devidramon glared at them all with his oval-shaped eyes, before slamming his tail into the ground, making Monodramon flinch again.

    Falcomon snorted. "And we care because why? Your master will be dead any day, once we have our say."

    "You weaklings won't get your say, because I'll kill him first! So stay out of my battle!"

    "Infighting this early," Sorcerymon muttered. "Fools."

    "Shut up, pawn of the Gods!" Devidramon snapped, pushing his draconic face at the elf's. Seeing the other's surprise, the dragon gloated. "Oh yes, don't think we don't know."

    "Whether you do or not makes no difference. You will still die."

    Suddenly, Devidramon stiffened, looking almost at the sky. "I'm being called, so I must go." His wings flared as he took off and circled. "Hey, mono-boy, this one's especially for you. Let's see how you can handle one of your own Digivolutionary forms, that's my parting gift!" The black dragon disappeared before anyone could say anything.

    Down dropped an orange dragon who had various blue markings on his body and red markings on the brown carapace on his head. He gave an arrogant smile. "Mega Flame!" Fire burst from his maw.

    Still seething over being called names twice now, the air around Monodramon started shimmering, the shimmer so great it prevented anyone from seeing what was going on. When the shimmering faded, in his place stood an ExVeemon. "Vee Laser!" An intense laser beam in the shape of an X was shot from his chest towards the adversary.

    The two attacks cancelled each other out and from the fading light burst GeoGreymon, horned head down. "Horn Impulse!"

    "Critical Crunch!" ExVeemon had dispersed his foe's attack and was in the process of jumping towards GeoGreymon to inflict a powerful bite.

    He blocked it with his arm, causing it to bleed, but the dragon smirked. With the position ExVeemon was in, it was impossible to avoid any attack. As the Dragon let out a blazing ball of flame, the Blue Fighter couldn't do anything. All he could hear was the words, "Mega Flame!" as he got hit with the searing fire.

    ExVeemon saw no need to dodge; he simply stood and weathered the attack. When the flames died away, his blue skin was somewhat blackened with smoke, but he was otherwise unharmed. From his position, he fired multiple Vee Lasers, each one stripping GeoGreymon's tough skin away, until his Digi Core was revealed.

    GeoGreymon tried one last feeble attack. "Mega Burst!"

    ExVeemon snorted in disgust and drove his hand through his opponent's Digi Core, shattering it. GeoGreymon burst into data instantly. The air shimmered again and ExVeemon de-Digivolved back to the Rookie level. "G-great job, Monodramon," Tanner hesitantly praised.

    Immediately, Monodramon flushed. "T-Thank you."

    "Well, I don't know what time this world keeps to, but I think we should try and get home." Yoshino replied.

    "We get to see your homes?" Salamon exclaimed. "Cool!"

    Very reluctantly, Sorcerymon turned to Candeena. The half-Watcher got in first, though. "This portal will take you back to your world." She motioned to said portal behind them. "But be very careful in hiding your partners. Your Odaiba isn't used to the forms they take and may mistake them as monsters."

    "Okay," Yoshino said cheerily. "We will be. Thank you." He wore a white shirt underneath a sleeveless dark blue vest and black trousers; that's his high-school uniform.

    The six children entered the portal and were almost instantly overcome with nausea.

    ...

    Devidramon flapped his wings as he landed on the outpost. There knelt a Cyberdramon, who watched him with pure reverence. "It's begun," announced the corrupted dragon. "Soon Tactimon will fall to me."

    "Yes, m'lord," his minion agreed, eyes on the ground.

    ...

    Back in Odaiba, the Chosen Children were unaware of Devidramon's plan to single them out; they were completely unaware that the devilish dragon was laughing at them as he sent a small squadron of his underlings to the real world. The gate opened, revealing various Digimon: Shurimon, Rinkmon, and Ninjamon respectively.

    Yoshino and Noriko were walking home from the convenience store when an illusionary forest appeared in front of their eyes; this was the technique many Shurimon mastered over time. Instantly, the two children were on guard. "How interesting," commented a voice. "Easily paranoid."

    "Who's there?" Noriko declared, though her voice was shaky. She wears a tailored grey jacket over her red short-sleeved shirt and her pants are denim shorts with black dress shoes.

    One Shurimon appeared; his comrades were keeping up the illusion that was the forest known as Shadow of Leaves. "I am an Armour level, Shurimon. So you are the Chosen Children."

    Yoshino narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "Why are you here? Are you a servant of Devidramon?"

    "Perhaps we are, perhaps we're not."

    "Yoshino!" A girl screamed. The teen was furious; that was Zoë! He whipped around, seeing an ice-skater-like Digmon holding his cousin.

    "Let her go, now!" He yelled.

    "Make me, boy," replied the Digimon arrogantly, clutching her tight enough to restrict breathing.

    "Hurricane Wave!" A fairy-like Digimon with a visor over her eyes stood nearby; the wind had come from her hands and was currently blasting the Rinkmon.

    Zoë winced, feeling the wind against her face. Rinkmon adjusted the girl so she was directly in front of him. "I'd like you to try that again."

    "Crystal Barrage!" Sorcerymon had teleported to behind the Rinkmon and pelted him with a barrage of crystallized ice.

    "Good," murmured the Digimon. "Except for the fact that I'm good with ice."

    Tobucatmon and Diatrymon appeared to help their allies. "Spinning Fight!" Tobucatmon yowled, attacking Rinkmon by spinning at him while biting. Tobucatmon was a grey and white cat with wings and large eyes. Her wings and tail had the pattern of a race-car flag on them. She reminded them of an animal-like military plane.

    "Mega Dash Impact!" Diatrymon screeched. It was best known as a surging body slam. Diatrymon was an ancient bird with green armour and red and orange feathers below the armour. His legs were large and powerful, with sharp talons. There were claws over the wings. Finally the bird's beak seemed like a fanged mouth.

    Rinkmon leapt over their heads with a smile toward Zoë. "I wonder when they'll take you from me. Ah well. Spinning Cutter!" He spun through them, slashing them with his arm blades.

    "I don't know why Devidramon told you upstarts to come to the real world but your battle, Rinkmon, ends here!" ExVeemon declared, dropping down from the sky onto the ice-skater. The force of the hit caused Rinkmon to collapse to the ground, with a piercing crunch as a sharp rock slashed open his chest and shattered his Digi Core.

    "Upstarts, huh?" Rinkmon let out a wheezy laugh. "Don't get cocky because you can win with the odds one against four. That's just... arrogant. I wonder how well you'll do... alone..." He burst into data and Zoë dropped, managing to hit the ground without too much pain.

    The five Champions stood defiantly against the lone Shurimon; the Ninjamon were still to appear, but suddenly another voice was heard. "Shurimon, fall back. We failed here; the boss wants us to return."

    "Understood, Ninjamon," the lone Shurimon replied. The Shadow of Leaves illusionary forest dissipated and the squadron disappeared, with the Shurimon looking back at his foes.

    "There may be only five of us," ExVeemon stated, "but we will protect this world with every bit of our data we have available. Devidramon is a fool to stand against us."
