Shark: Ah shit. I'm supposed to be working on HR: MfL, but screw it. Digimon Frontier rewrite, I'll try my best!
Destiny: You gotta stop this.
Shark: You always try to talk me out of it! I'm doing this and that is final. This is a new type of story for me.
Destiny: Fine. SHARK DOES NOT OWN DIGIMON
The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility. ~ Václav Havel
Catherine smiled. Today was probably the best day of her life. She had just recently flown from Australia to Japan for an excursion her Japanese teacher holds for the students showing they understood and could speak Japanese better than the average, enough to hold a conversation for up to an hour! She had actually snuck her phone on the trip, when she wasn't supposed to. Now they were in groups to look around Shibuya, however, they were at its train station.
While her friends went one way, she walked the other, a slight wind brushing her mid-back hair and lifting it a bit. She decided to re-arrange the large goggles on her head a little bit, just to make them straight. People had teased her because she wore them, but she didn't really care. Personally, she loved them with their red rims and oval shaped blue lenses. They were also exactly like the ones from her favourite Pokémon game.
When she was a few meters away from the group she heard her phone ringing. As she picked it up, she noticed the strange symbol that was shown. "Ok, bizarre." She muttered before looking at the message. 'Do you want to start?' it asked. Since it was flashing on yes already, Catherine shrugged. 'Can't do too much harm.' She thought and pressed the 'OK' button. As it was locked in, a strange woman's voice came out of it.
"Catherine Disan, it's time to decide your future." The mysterious voice said. "Go to Shibuya station." Catherine raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? I'm like…" she trailed off looking at an elevator. "A meter away." She sighed. An elevator came up and the doors opened, but before she could enter, a boy with long black hair and a bandana walked in, closely followed by a sprinting boy wearing an olive hat with…goggles, who just made it in time for the elevator doors to close. As they did, Catherine realised she had been staring at them and as the doors closed behind the boy, she knew she had missed her chance.
Seeing stairs, she started to trot down them and passed a boy who looked like he was about to trip. She caught the boy as he fell, with him landing on her back. Her lungs protested as the air escaped too quickly, causing her to wheeze as the boy stood up with an apologetic look on his face. "I'm sorry." He said timidly and held out his hand. Catherine took it and smiled, closing one eye, still gasping for breath.
"It's…fine. This isn't the…first time." She grinned as the air circulated in her lungs again. Opening the closed eye, she said "I've done that before, only it was me going splat on the ground at school 'cause of my silliness." The boy, who was wearing a blue cap with a red long sleeved shirt and green short sleeved coat smiled slightly.
"Still, I'm sorry anyway. It's just; I wanted to catch my brother." He sighed. Catherine could tell he was slightly depressed by this fact, but looking at him better she could see he looked exactly like the bandana boy, only with shorter hair.
Catherine nodded. "Bandana boy your twin? By the way, I'm Catherine. Catherine Disan."
The boy nodded. "Yeah, he's my twin. I'm Koichi Kimura. The 'Bandana Boy' were talking about is Koji," Then he frowned "But he doesn't know I exist. I was only know he's my twin because of my grandma, and…yeah." The boy, now known as Koichi, sighed again.
"Well, let's go down, I think I saw Koji go down. I wanted to get the elevator, but Goggle head and Koji got in and it closed." Catherine laughed. Koichi nodded with a smile, and together they rushed down the stairs. When they reached the bottom, Catherine gasped and exclaimed. "Look at all the trains!" There was a yellow one, a blue one, a green one, a brownish-pink coloured one and an odd looking blue-green-grey train.
The mysterious voice came again. 'It's up to you now. Which one will you choose?'
Koichi frowned. "We have to choose one? What one then?" He asked, looking around. Catherine grinned.
"I say we look for Koji and jump on the train he goes on. You were looking for him, right?" She asked, scanning the kids for Koji.
"Good idea." Koichi replied, looking for his twin. As Catherine searched, she let out a gasp of outrage and dragged Koichi with her. "Gah! Where are we going?" he asked, confused.
"Some bullies are picking on a little kid. I don't stand for bullying, if I recognise it." Catherine fumed and approached the boys, standing in front of them defending the little kid, Koichi standing a few meters away, looking pale and scared. "Hey, you punks, stop bulling this kid or I swear I will gouge out your eyes, shove them down your throats, just SO YOU CAN WATCH ME TEAR YOUR CORPSES APART WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS!" She shouted at them, the little boy now whimpering. The two boys had backed away during her rant and turned and ran as her fists rose.
Turning to the boy she sighed, crouching down, feeling angry at herself. "Look," she said bringing the boys' face to look at hers. "I'm sorry you had to hear that, but they were bullying you. If I scared you, I'm sorry for that also, but those bullies were being mean. Am I forgiven?" She asked, looking into the boys' eyes.
"Y-yeah, re-remind me not to get you mad." He smiled slightly and chuckled a little. Reaching into her jeans pocket Catherine fished out a little toy Polar Bear, about the size of her thumb, which she had gotten for her birthday a year ago.
"Here, as an added apology, take the polar bear. He's kept me safe along with my Dingo toy." Catherine grinned and the boy smiled a big grin as well. "I'm Catherine. Catherine Disan. You?"
"Tomoki Himi, but I'm often called Tommy." Tommy smiled and took the little Polar Bear.
"Ha, ha, I like your name. So, are you getting on this train?" Catherine asked Tommy. Tommy got inside the train.
"Yeah." He grinned even wider as the doors closed. Catherine chuckled. Giving a two fingered salute she walked back to Koichi.
"So…you act that way often Catherine?" Koichi nervously chuckled. Catherine smirked.
"Depends on who I'm talking to. Also, you can call me Kat." Catherine laughed happily. She then looked at the clock. "Well, let's get on a train." She groaned as she looked at the deserted area. All the kids were on the trains.
So they both got on a dark coloured train (Catherine wasn't sure what colour it was) and sat down. As the train started moving, Koichi started muttering something.
CATHERINE'S P.O.V
I looked at Koichi. He was talking softly, and I couldn't hear, but when a dark aura covered him with a bizarre looking figure, I knew something was wrong. Because we were sitting opposite each other, I moved over to his side and sat next to him. "Hey," I whispered softly to him. "Whatever is happening to you, forget about it. They can't hurt you. Koichi, Koji will be waiting for you, wherever we will be going."
The aura faded a bit, but I thought it wasn't enough. Whatever it is that was happening, it's not good. "Koichi, you are brave. You are strong. Whatever anyone is saying to you, tell them to fuck off, because you are your own master." As I said this I noticed a light orange glow around me. I looked up and saw a figure, a humanoid thing that resembled a Dingo. I would know as Dingo's are my favourite animal.
She had light orange hair with white highlights, white chest and orange back armour that fitted perfectly, with orange armoured legs and white thongs. She had a tail that ended at her heels and an orange helmet with a white muzzle (with a black nose and light red eyes that were full of happiness), so you could only see her mouth, which had two fangs poking downward. They were hardly see-able though and she looked about 16, by human standards. She also had two large boomerang strapped to her back. The orange aura spread to Koichi and over-ridded the black. A few seconds later, the glow around both of us faded and Koichi looked at me.
"Thanks, Kat." He smiled and a dark aura came back, but it was lighter, and a kind looking lion-like humanoid thing was there. The woman's voice came again.
'Catherine, you have received the spirit of LassDingomon and Dingomon. Koichi, you have received the spirits of Darkness, Lowemon and KaiserLeomon. I wish you both good luck on your journey. And Koichi, Catherine, take these D-Tectors.' As she said that a soft grey light shone and a weird device appeared in his hands. Looking at my phone, I realised it had also transformed and become one of the D-Tector thingies.
I groaned. "NOW you talk,and leave us a strange item. GREAT!" As I said that the train stopped.
"Alright, time to get off." It said and opened its doors…wait, SAID!?
My eyes widened and I looked around. "Koichi, did you just hear the train talking, or am I going crazy?" I asked him, slightly panicking.
"I heard it too. Hold on Kat," Koichi said and as we got out of the train I looked at it, and he looked at its front. Following his gaze, I started hopping on one foot then the other. That only happens when I'm scared or nervous. "Excuse me, but what are you? Also, could you please tell us where we are?" He asked confidently. My hopping got faster.
"Well young man, I am a Trailmon. Also, you and your lady friend are in the Digital World, where we Digimon live. You are currently at Flame Terminal. FYI, Digimon are Digital Monsters." The train-Trailmon-said in a feminine voice. I calmed down a little knowing where we were, but was still nervous.
"Thank you." Koichi said politely. I swear, this guy could calm a raging bear if he wanted. After that the Trailmon took off. "Well, Kat, looks like an adventure begins here." He grinned.
"Right." I nodded and stopped hopping. This was just like a Pokémon adventure, just a lot different and with Digimon. As I said this, a roar erupted and Koichi and I looked at each other.
"Let's go." We said at the same time.
Shark: Like it? I actually tried. This is the longest chapter I have ever written, so I'm happy.
Destiny: Yea, and with you re-watching Frontier, this is going to be a breeze.
Shark: Yup! Now, GOODNIGHT OR GOOD MORNING OR GOOD AFTERNOON YOU FF HOPPERS!
