[i]A week earlier...[/i] Ah, Chicago, Good old Chicago, Illinois... City of the Big Shoulders, home of the Bears, the Blues Brothers, and some of the best damn deep dish pizzas the world has ever seen. Also the home of some of the largest Mafia syndicates in America, led by Al Capone himself, but that's neither here nor there. Sure, there were many problems this city has on the ground, it's infamous in more ways than one. Corrupt Mayors and politicians as usual, the streets below being filled with people whose had bad days, not to mention gang violence galore. Even so, there was good to be had in this city, as no one can deny the beauty of its metropolitan atmosphere from afar. The view of the night sky from a Chicago High-rise as the moon light reflects off the perpetual waves of Lake Michigan. A pity then that rather than viewing the horizon of the giant lake amidst a clear starry sky, Tyler Falcon had his views on his computer. He probably should be in bed by this point; it's nearly midnight and there's school to be had. But the warnings of his brothers were ignored as usual, as he played his online games in the relaxing silence in the dead of night. This was unfortunately common for the boy, which might explain the complaints the teachers seems to give to his eldest Brother, Jordan, regarding his sleeping patterns on a near-daily basis. It's not like he isn't smart...albeit in a way that most teacher may not agree with necessarily, he does at least seem to understand the logic behind stuff in enough ways to earn a passing grade in more classes than not. It's just that, as the school councilors have pointed out to said Brother, the boy seems to run his life on laid-back chance and inappropriate optimism; he'll make it through classes that he's just barely passing, smiling as if he's acing classes left and right. At least one of his brothers, as a result, tend to hammer some sense into Ty so as to make him get a grip with the gravity of his situation... literally hammer it in, with a hammer of hard plastic. It was meant to be just a small bop on the head...only to wind up giving Ty a concussion. Jordan did punish the other brother for this bit of violence and bandaged up the top of his head, but scolded Ty as well for how lax he is with his life and future, after which leaving him in his room using his computer. Ty was navigating the internet, minding his own as he tried to watch some videos, listen to some music, the usual mellow things one does to pass time even when there is none left to waste. It was around then that something happened that he couldn't expect. His computer froze up, the soundbite of the video he was watching making a singular line of static noise for a good 20 seconds before the screen starting glitching up, black squares fading in and out in millisecond, things like the bottom right icons disappearing and reappearing at the same speed. Needless to say, this was annoying; he knew that he didn't go on any site that would create this bad a virus, so maybe one of his brothers did so while he was away. He was about ready to reboot the computer when he noticed something...different flicker on the screen from the corner of his eye. Looking over at the screen with a degree of interest, he began to notice the glitching screen begin to form some kind of outline, that of a oddly shaped object, some kind of rounded vertical rectangle with a small circle that goes beyond the rectangle's border. Some kind of odd geometric symbol perhaps? Then he noticed two white angel wings fade in on both sides of the symbol... Oh, lovely, so this is either a bizarre religious cult hacker, or someone with that thinks itself some sort of cool angel. Before he could move once again to try and reboot the computer, only to then notice something even more bizarre, a voice, distorted and incoherent, being heard...from the computer? "[i]...Co-...Come...Need...[/i]" He could hear it say. Making him raise an eyebrow; was the hacker tapping into his speakers or something? He then noticed something REALLY bizarre, as his screen began to ripple, as if he was watching the surface of water, and before he could think of it in a rationale way, suddenly a human hand, pale white, emerged from the screen. He's seen this kind of thing in horror movies before, this is where the hand intends to grab and possibly choke him out. But no, oddly enough, as soon as most of the forearm was out of the computer screen, the hand that looked like it was reaching out to grab Ty flipped upside-down and became an extended hand, as if offering something with it. What exactly was it trying to say? Is there something invisible in his hand, is it asking to for him to take its hand, and if the latter, why? Ty could only figure one conclusion from this: This had to be some kind of crazy hallucinating from the earlier concussion he suffered. Part of him wanted to go downstairs and tell his brothers about this, or just go to sleep and let the brain heal itself. But then he heard one of his siblings telling him to turn the computer off and get to bed, that in addition to school, there's a plentiful amount of chores awaiting him afterwards. At which point he figured, eh, may as well give into the concussion and enjoy the madness while it lasts, maybe he'll get lucky and he'll be called in sick because of it. With this in mind, he took the computer-hand, and let it grip tight to his wrist, far harder and stronger than he was anticipating, and pulled him into the screen. In the split second he was thinking that this won't end well, as he's about to be hitting a flat hard surface in mere moments, he realized how wrong he was when he was pulled through the screen, once again feeling like jumping into water. He could see a bright light in the distance amidst streams of luminescent code flying past him in numerous ways. The light got bigger, and bigger, until it was blinding enough to make him shield his eyes. He opened up his eyes again, and the next thing he knew, he was on the ground, a rather hard gravel-like ground that suggests he was laying on stone of some kind, looking at a clear blue sky on a bright sunny day. "[color=gold][b]It seems you're coming around. I didn't expect humans like yourself to gain unconsciousness so quickly after arriving.[/b][/color]" A voice said to him. Ty looked around to see who it was, only to turn his head to the side and spotted a blonde-haired boy, looking around his own age, wearing a white toga, a bunch of colored tattoos lining across his body, golden rights around his wrists and ankles, and most notably of all, the 1..2..3..6 angel wings on both sides of his body, 12 in total. Oh, It's just an angel........Wait, wha- Immediately Ty jumped back a little as he spotted the angel-winged boy, then took another look at the area around him. "[color=Lime][b]Oh, so THAT'S why they say to stay away from the light...Gotta say, Heaven's not quite as grand as its cracked up to be, is it under renovation something.[/b][/color]" Ty asked the angel boy. Said angel was about to say something with a confident smile on his face, but stopped before he could get even a noise out, let alone a word, as he processed what the boy before him said. "[color=gold][b]...Come again?[/b][/color]" The Angel asked, perplexed written on his face as clear as day. "[color=lime][b]I get a concussion, which probably led to my brain bleeding, then I get a hallucination, gave in, bright light, now I'm here with an Angel in hea-....umm...Actually I guess this is more like Purgatory huh? ...Yeah, I guess that makes more sense.[/b][/color]" Ty said, causing the blonde angel to blink his sapphire blue eyes, not quite sure what this boy was going on about. "[color=gold][b]...Even if such conclusions were right, I must admit you are taking such a possibility...more well than I imagined a human would.[/b][/color]" "[color=lime][b]I lived in a house filled with brothers who have much better chances at success than me, so I can't say I have any real...ambitions for myself, you know? ...Wait, you mean I'm [i]not[/i] dead?[/b][/color]" "[color=gold][b]No, you are not...Perhaps I should introduce myself foremost, my name is Lucemon and this is-[/b][/color]" "[color=lime][b]Wait, Lucemon...? As in 'Lucifer' Luce?[/b][/color]" "[color=gold][b]I...suppose?[/b][/color]" Lucemon said in response. It was God who gave him this name, but beyond its base symbolic signifance as a name that represented the Light, the mythology behind its etymology was something that he never knew, nor had any care of finding out. It just meant "Light", and that was enough for him. "[color=lime][b]Oookay, so I'm actually in hell then, ...nicer than I imagined.[/b][/color]" Ty said as he looked at the sky again, Lucemon closing his eyes and instinctively showing irritation on his face. ...Apparently Lucemon did need to learn of his name etymology after all. In hindsight it did make sense all things considered for him these past years, "[color=gold][b]As I have already said, you are [i]not[/i] dead. Listen closely, I am not an actual angel as you humans know them.[/b][/color]" "[color=lime][b]Well, yeah, obviously. ...Because you're the devil.[/b][/color]" Ty then said, Lucemon stating to show relief for a second when it seemed as if Ty was acknowledging him, and then immediately contorted to annoyance. As he then whacked his fist over Ty's head, causing Ty to yell out in pain. "[color=gold][i]I am slowly but surely beginning to regret this decision...[/i] [b]In any case, this is not the afterlife, you are not dead, now please listen; this is important information you need to know. I am what you humans call a Digital Monster, or Digimon for short.[/b][/color]" Lucemon muttered to himself before then explaining to Ty. "[color=lime][b]Oooow, ...Digimon? ...You mean, like one of those V-Pets?[/b][/color]" "[color=gold][b]...I resent such a name for our race, but I suppose that is what you humans consider us as, yes.[/b][/color]" "[color=lime][b]But...You don't have pixels or anything like that, and can actually hit me.[/b][/color]" "[color=gold][b]It may be hard to understand the specifics as to why, but this is a world made entirely of Digital code manifesting as physical matter. This, is the Digital World, and all that resides in it are creatures made of digital information.[/b][/color]" Lucemon explained. Ty couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion. "[color=lime][b]So in other words, ...I'm inside the computer?[/b][/color]" He asked. "[color=gold][b]That is one way of putting it, it's more accurate to say that you're inside a land created from the digital data of all computers of your world, manifested into a physical plain of matter.[/b][/color]" "[color=lime][b]So...I'm inside the Internet then?[/b][/color]" "[color=gold][b]Not necessarily...I'll explain the details another time. We do not have much as is, and time is of the essence.[/b][/color]" Lucemon then said, tossing some kind of golden wrist device towards Ty, which he caught, and took a look at. Immediately he noticed the front of it is the exact design of the outline that appeared on his computer. "[color=lime][b]...What's this?[/b][/color]" "[color=gold][b]That is known as a Digivice, It is how I manage to bring you to this world, the means by which to bring you back to your own, and the key to your survival in this place, as a Digidestined.[/b][/color]" Lucemon explained as Ty kept looking at, and playing around with, it. "[color=lime][b]Umm...Phone home. ...Escape...Google how to get home...? ...I don't think it's working.[/b][/color]" Lucemon raised an eyebrow as he looked at this...dumbfounded scene of the boy treating the Digivice like some smart phone. "[color=gold][b]...Creating the means to enter your world is not that simple. It requires a great amount of energy and a code in order to access, and I've already too much of it to get you here.[/b][/color]" "[color=lime][b]Umm...Ok, but I have school tomorrow, and if I'm not dead, then I have a bunch of brothers who'll worry about me if I'm not back there...and more importantly, would kick my ass for worrying them.[/b][/color]" Ty said as he placed the Digivice on his wrist. "[color=gold][b]Time varies between worlds; this world's time goes faster in parallel to your own, and as a result, by the time a day passes in this world, less than a day passes in yours. As such, you needn't worry, young one.[/b][/color]" "[color=lime][b]It's Tyler, Tyler Falcon...or Ty for short. So...Why am I here exactly?[/b][/color]" "[color=gold][b]...Very well, Ty, I shall explain. You are a digidestined, chosen by that Digivice. As such, you are one tasked by fate to come to this world and be a part of its salvation. Under normal circumstances, you and others like yourself across your world would be called here to assist the digimon that live in this world, and achieve their protection from any that would harm them. ...However, I have alternative plans for one such as yourself. Each digidestined is given a digimon of their own to protect them and aid their will, and as fate would have it, [i]I[/i] am your partner in this. One would be quite honored to have me at their side, this is not something that normally happens on a daily basis.[/b][/color]" Lucemon explained to him, a hint of confidence in his voice at the end. "[color=lime][b]...So I'm partnered with the Devil?[/b][/color]" Ty bluntly asked, annnnd, Lucemon falls to the ground in irritation. "[color=gold][b]Please stop calling me that...[/b][/color]" "[color=lime][b]But why me though? I'm just some kid, not even a really good one. I'm sure one of my brothers would be more suited to this thing...[/b][/color]" "[color=gold][b]The skills of your siblings are irrelevant. The Digivice chooses its master, and it chose you, likely because you have something nobody else does, something about you worth being chosen for, just as it chose me to be your partner. It is something that cannot be explained, and will get nowhere with questioning. What matters is that now that you're here, I have need of your help.[/b][/color]" Lucemon explained. "[color=lime][b]Umm...Ok, I mean, not like I have much choice. So, Lucy, What do you want with me?[/b][/color]" "[color=gold][i]Lucy...?[/i] [b]Very well...I would like you to be stand as the ruler of this world...I would like you...to be the Digimon Emperor, Overlord of the Digital Realm.[/b][/color]" Lucemon said, his arms and wings extended outward proudly as he said it. Ty blinked for a few seconds before tilting his head in confusion. "[color=lime][b]...Huh?[/b][/color]" Ty simply said...Did he...Did he just say "Overlord"? [hr] [i]Present Day...[/i] A bright sunny day was seen on the horizon of this world, however false in may be in actuality, the boy didn't care one bit about. a relatively peaceful land of grassy meadows and plant life galore stretched across the horizon as far as his eyes could see. In the distance, stood a small but thriving metropolis, covered head to toe in plant life and shaped in the form of a flower's blossom, hence why it was called... "[color=lime][b]Blossom Town...Our first of many, many targets. This'll be fun, Can't wait to start actually throwing the word about us.[/b][/color]" Ty said, oddly holding a Demidevimon over his face. "[b]Eyheyheyhey! My face isn't a some mask or goggles, boss![/b]" The little bat thing said, flapping his wings around in a panic. [hider=Demidevimon][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/b/b9/DemiDevimon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090130030543[/img] [indent][i]Type: Evil Familiar Alignment: Virus Attacks: Demi Dart Evil Whisper Bat Flutter Demidevi Claw I did NOT graduate from the Evil Familiar school of Mischief and Mayhem to be used like this! I can suck up blood with a Demi-dart, make minor curses, and even send bat buddies to get on peoples nerves, but being binoculars is not what I was made for, Boss![/i] [color=lime][i]...There's an Evil Familiar School in this world?[/i][/color] [i]NOT the point, boss![/i][/indent][/hider] "[b][color=lime]Oh you're no fun...[/color][/b]" Ty said in response as he lets go of Demidevimon, revealing that his face was now completely different. From his birth to when he first met Lucemon, he had short brown hair in no particular style and blue eyes. But for some reason, now his hair was messy and purple, as if spiked up wildly on purpose, and his eyes were just as purple. His attire also changed...He came into the world with a white t-shirt with black outlines, and some black and green shorts, with no footwear at the time due to him arriving when he was in his room. Now he wears a white suit with multiple straps wrapped around his arms, and two straps hanging loose around his legs. Apparently, his pants are made to look like a piece of punk fashion with bondage pelts, but they are actually just fake belts sewed to thicker part of the thighs. His shirt is ripped at the hem and the collar part of it is completely gone, and big parts of the uniform are fixed with metal clips. He has multi-colored buttons running down the middle of his shirt, with a few usually hidden under his checkered black-and-white scarf, has military badges on his right, and wears two-colored black and purple slip flats. All over a black flowing cape and to finish off the evil dictator look, a leather-peaked hat with a golden badge at its top in the shape of the Digital World's [url=https://wikimon.net/images/6/69/Mark_of_evil.jpg]Mark of evil[/url]. It seems he now has the look worthy of the title of Digimon Emperor. Behind him, in addition to Lucemon who was also staring down at the town in the distance, was an army of other Digimon, most of them humanoid and some of them clearly evil in appearance, and one in particular seemingly far more menacing with his massive stature and a black cloak over its body. Among the members of this army, one would be able to Spot a [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/0/0b/Wizardmon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080929150549]Wizardmon[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/9/93/Witchmon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110304023942]Witchmon[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/0/0e/Devimon_t.gif/revision/latest?cb=20180107045202]Devimon[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/c/cd/Meramon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090205055917]Meramon[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/e/e5/Clockmon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110805035127]Clockmon[/url], and, oddly enough, a [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/p__/images/9/97/Bffa67e10a54899e92d62879e3d06872.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170521160643&path-prefix=protagonist]Renamon[/url], and those were just some of the many digimon that seemed to follow Ty and Lucemon. Ty took one last good look at the town before looking back at his imperial army. "[color=lime][b]Ok, so, Everyone knows the plan? ...Any questions? ...Good. This is gonna be our first big hit for this empire, and first impressions are key. This goes off without a hitch, there won't be a digimon anywhere in this server that didn't know who we are. Witchmon already provided me with the special spices that'll really get this thing started...Now I just need a good vehicle to ride down there with, does everybody got that done yet?[/b][/color]" Ty asked. Some of them nodded and wheeled in this "vehicle" that Ty mentioned. "[color=lime][b]It's... so beautiful! You guys did a great job with this! This'll surely bring chaos into the hearts of those poor little plants...[/b][/color]" Ty said. Lucemon looked at it and then back at Ty, palm perfectly plastered upon his face in embarrassment as he stares at the "vehicle" in question. "[color=gold][b]If I may, I still believe this plan of yours brings too much needless risk.[/b][/color]" Lucemon mentions to him. "[color=lime][b]You worry too much, Lucy. It'll be fiiine, We'll strike terror and despair into the hearts of every last citizen before the day is done...and get our reward before lunch time.[/b][/color]" Ty said to him, leaning on Lucemon's shoulder as he does before then jumping onto his "vehicle", a pair of sunglasses from his pocket now on his face, as he takes off the bat medal from his hat and putting it in his pocket. "[color=lime][b]Alright everyone, to your places. Remember, if anything DOES happen, I'm counting on the rest of you for some troubleshooting...potentially literally. Now then...It's time to commence [i]Operation: Fiesta-Dura[/i]! Hi-Ho, Silver, AWAY![/b][/color]" Ty yelled out as he blasted off towards Blossom town on his... [hider=Rocket-powered shopping cart.][img]http://images.mentalfloss.com/sites/default/files/styles/mf_image_16x9/public/RocketCart_6.jpg?itok=94k5Ik5C&resize=1100x619[/img][/hider] [hr] The Digimon, as one might expect in a place like Blossom Town, were all essentially plant type Digimon, just about every plant digimon you can think of was here. [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/1/1b/Budmon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090128045034]Budmons[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/a/a1/Floramon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101126214135]Floramons[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/c/c7/Palmon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130402190834]Palmons[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/4/4d/Togemon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090205060244]Togemons[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/2/29/Vegiemon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090205060546]Vegiemon[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/e/ea/Lalamon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090130133411]Lalamons[/url], [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/3/30/Sunflowmon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101001040208]Sunflowmons[/url], you name it, they're probably here. It seems the town is filled to the brim with in-trainings, Rookies, and Champions. There were a few ultimates, but they were either few and far between, or apparently were at the center castle of Blossomtown, where their mayor seems to reside, serving as guards for her. Aside from the bizarre plant-like architecture of the buildings, the place was completely covered in what appeared to be thorny vines, and the blossoms of roses as far as the eye could see were decorated throughout the city. They were going about their day, minding their own, when one of the Floramon looked into the distance and saw something from the corner of her eye, something...odd, to say the least. As the others looked, they saw the small human riding atop a rocket-powered shopping cart, looking onward with sunglasses on as his black cape flapped in the wind. Turning off the rockets with a switched, he pressed on a step that appeared to be the breaks, making the shopping cart coming to a screeching halt...right in the middle of town. He could hear as the others starting to whisper among each other of this strange man that showed up out of nowhere, some of them calling him out for his recklessness in driving something like that in here. Ignoring the musings of the masses, Ty stood up on his cart and looked upon them with a big smile. "[b][color=lime]...Denizens of Blossomtown, Lend me your ears! I am Falcon, ruler and Overlord of a Mighty Empire! The Digimon Emperor who shall one day cast dominion upon this world. As Emperor, I give you but one order to obey...[/color][/b]" He declared, deepening his voice so as to sound as menacing as a 12 year old possibly could. He then jumped off his Cart and onto the ground below, and almost immediately threw off his cape. What happened next was...odd. For starters, Ty now looked somewhat...smoky, as if some kind of steam or smoke was coming off him in very little quantity, to a point where most may not even notice it all that much. Secondly, his hat now looked like a round Mexican party hat, and around his waist was some kind of purple mp3 player, and two maracas behind him. "[b][color=lime]...To Party Hard![/color][/b]" He said, as a certain song started playing, and he in turn started dancing, getting out his Maracas and shaking them about...then he started to sing to the song. [hider=They call me...][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dyO9SWiY7k[/youtube][/hider] Eventually, in a few minutes, the Digimon began to dance with him, as he threw away his maracas towards a Togemon, and a Palmon started to sing with him, then the others started to join in the singing as well. Ty even went as far as temporarily tango dancing with a Floramon. The [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/e/ee/Lillymon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090128165111]Lillymons[/url] and [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/6/63/Lilamon_b.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090128165111]Lilamons[/url] in the Castle looking out towards the party that was going on outside suspiciously. [i]Everything was going according to plan...[/i] [hr] As the party began in Blossomtown, Demidevimon looked over yonder at the party, and even began dancing a little himself as Lucemon kept his face in his palm. "[b]I don't believe it...The little boss is actually doing it![/b]" Demidevimon said as he danced. "[i][color=gold]May God forgive me for my sins...for I have created a monster.[/color][/i]" Lucemon thought as he struggled to look at the embarrassing display in the distance. It should be noted that the tall cloaked member of the army, has disappeared from sight completely.
