Digimon: A Legendary Tale.

In a world much different then ours, exist beings known as Digital Monsters; or Digimon for short. In that world, 3 beings of immense power exist, Cherubimon, Seraphimon and Orphanimon. Their existence brings peace to the land, light to the darkness. However, as of late, the darkness has slowly risen. In a digital being known as Lucemon.

He once brought peace to the world in a time where human and beast types fought, however, Lucemon soon got too submerged in his power; demanding more. He soon started to kill some of the most powerful Mega's in order to gather power, and this was deemed unjust by the 3 guardians; who sent out the 10 Legendary Warriors out to fight. The battle was immense, and it took the near dead Legendary Warriors all their power to get him to revert into his Digitama(1). Since they were near death, they sealed, using an ancient coding, away the egg into the core of the Digital World in hopes it'd never awaken. However, in case it would, they entrusted their raw data to the 3 Guardians, in the form of spirits for compatible beings of the future to use in case Lucemon were ever to awaken.

That time is now.

His corruption has been seeping the cracks of the world, closest being Cherubimon. Tempting him with power, Lucemon turns the once pure Cherubimon into an agent to gather data from pieces of land in order to gather enough to break Lucemon free, and with that, started to move the pieces in place. But with darkness, is light.

Orphanimon and Seraphimon, noticing their companions demise to darkness, discussed the dire matter and saw no other way to solve the problem other than the way it was treated over 300 digital-years ago. However, the spirits were hidden a long time ago; to prevent anyone from gathering them who was not compatible(2). And by studying the digimon in existence, none were compatible with the spirits anyway.

They had to turn to another life form, Humans.

Orphanimon, interested in the human world, sent out data through the digital seams that connected the 2 worlds, sending a message that'd reach any human of age compatible. The message itself would be "Do you wish to change your life for the greater good?" 『Yes』　or 『No』. Pressing yes was the first test of compatibility.

-----------

It's spring break(3), and the world seemed to be resting on your fingertips. It's a normal, sunny day, but unlike most days, you receive a mysterious text message from 'unknown'. The first message says:

"Do you wish to change your life for the greater good?" 『Yes』　or 『No』.

Although you have plans later on that day, or don't seem to interested, you're too compelled to press for yes. Almost like a person possessed, you press yes. Taking a second to load, you receive the next message.

"Go to the nearest train station and take the elevator all the way down. You have 20 minutes."

A bit skeptical of the message, you decide to see what the message is; or if it's just a hoax. Taking any transportation that you can, you barely reach the station in time. Taking the elevator down, you see that the numbers on the screen start to blink wildly, as you're obviously going lower than you should be..

As you land at a underground station, where there are 5 different colored cars lined up, and it seems that there are many different people looking inside the trains..
---------

With the message across, Orphanimon has now laid the hope in the hands of humans. The message she sent was specifically coded to only, truly, interest 10 people that would be compatible and take the Trailmon(4) to the Digital World. These 10 humans would bring salvation for digimon...

and for their own kind as well.

D-Scanner: The Digivice of the RPG, they are created from your cellphones from when you cross the Digital World <--> Earth divide. They have many different built in features such as:
compass, walkie talkie, being able to scan the evil digimon's data when they're defeated for the land data. Also, since the Chosen Children are from around the world, the D-Scanner observes, and after a few hours of observing, can take the sound data from one persons mouth thats one language, and translate it into another. However, this takes a few hours of observation for the D-Scanner. It also holds the spirit and allows Spirit Evolution.

Picture of the D-Scanner: here

Culture: Allowing you to pick where your character originates from, there will be a language barrier until the D-Scanner picks up your language and the others.
To make note of different languages until then, you can simply say your character doesn't understand, etc. If they understand some English, thats probably for the better.

Human "Digi"Power: A gift given by Seraphimon when you enter the digital world, your body's data will be bombarded with data from digimon that will allow it to gain a specific power. This is only a self-defense mechanism, as it consumes human energy that'll need to be replenished by sleep or food.

Attacks: As you start to gain battle experience, and more digital code from fighting(you will be returning most of the code to the land, but some will be kept since that it the digimon itself), you will gain 2 extra attacks. The 5th and last one is your Trump Card, so to speak.


Notes in plot.
1.Digitama is also a Digiegg, which is what a digimon turns into when they die; unless the death is through the heart of a digimon, or they have no energy to turn into an egg.
2.The spirits only react to their compatible partners. IE, You see your spirit's 'statuette', it'll start to glow.
3. If you live in the southern hemisphere, then it is winter break.
4.Trailmon are digimon that look and operate like trains. The digital world are covered in trails, and almost every town has a station. They have cars attached to them to carry passengers. Digidex entry here

A good Digidex is located here~!.

Name: Matsumoto Akina / 松本明菜
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Location: Sapporo, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan.
Personality: Akina is one who likes the atmosphere of solitude, and the quietness that spurs from it. She hates people who annoy her; or for that fact, anyone really besides her grandfather; who she can barely stand either way. She's quite smart and athletic, but she tends to put off a snooty vibe due to her 'loner' personality. However, when Akina is given a task or responsibility, she has a strong sense of duty to complete it.
Appearance: Some call her a 'Yankee' due to her tomboyish looks and height. Matsumoto-kun, as they call her, stands at about 5'8", an ungodly height for a lot of her classmates. Her legs are a bit longer than her torso, and she's flat chested(Who isn't in Japan~), but she doesn't seem to mind any; since most would bother her in her kendo training either way. Her hair is the typical coal black, cut down to her shoulders with no bangs, and her eyes are a stone-cold grey. While in school, she'll wear the typical female school uniform, occasionally pissing the officials with wearing the male one she got from a neighbor who graduated the year prior(She does this one quite often). When she isn't in school, she wears white and black sneakers with dark blue jeans, and a slightly long yellow shirt(It's not baggy, just to her thighs). Since it's spring, she's wearing a navy blue light jacket that doesn't have a hood. Akina has a huge scar on her back from a nasty strike from her grandfather during a kendo practice.

The only change in the digital world is that she now has a single, very thin braid in her hair that is longer than her hair itself. The braid is about 1cm in width and goes down to her mid back.
Spirit of: Light
Human "Digi"Power: Able to run in the blink of an eye.(more or less, the Flash!)
D-Scanner Color: Light yellow base(same color as this text), Navy blue handle.
History: Back when she was only 3, her mother and father divorced - separating her from her twin sister as her mother took her, and her father took her twin Akira. Akina's mother was never around for her either way, before or after the divorce, so it was really her grandfather on her mothers side who rose her. Her mother works an important position for a law firm, and is always doing cases or studying for a new one, so while Akina is well off financially; she never really had a solid family. Her grandfather treated her harshly from the moment she turned 5, as she started to learn kendo, along other school things. Suffering from many minor bruises from not being able to sufficiently block his hits until she was 10, she was always questioned for child abuse. Akina was never allowed to have friends during her practice; since her grandfather grew up strictly, so should his granddaughter; who he has no prejudice of gender due to his daughter not bearing any more children. This may be one reason why Akina is so cold to everyone around her now, but it also may be the trauma from never having a real mother.

When she was 14, during an intense kendo practice, her grandfather got her in the back and the shinai* broke(not in two,but some of the sticks in it broke) from the hit. The wood hit hard enough to bruise the muscles and bone,and leave a scar. Her grandfather calls it "A reason to strive to be better, and a example of failure". This is the only moment she cried, as she never wanted to be a failure in her grandfathers eyes; nor anyones.
Relationship: Open to none until later on. Can have other people crush if you want~.
Other: Akira has been trainned in kendo to use 2 shinai in ni-to style. This is her favorite, however, her grandfather prefers one shinai(but taught her ni-to from request). She also knows some english, but isn't comfortable with it.
Favorite Saying: "If you start something, finish it, or don't start at all."
Favorite food: Soba noodles!
Nickname:Matsumoto-kun, Matsumoto-chan(by some females who don't know her.;x ). Will want to be known as Matsumoto until sometime later on, since she's more comfortable with that.

Name:Hakanaimon
Virus/Data/Vaccine: Data
Type: Warrior
Element:Light
Appearancetanding about 5'7", Hakanaimon looks a lot like Lenneth from Valkyrie Profile(Picture: here*), except there are some differences. First difference is that the head armor covers the eyes; Hakanaimon has no eyes, she "sees" with her other senses(and therefore, can get a distinct feel for the environment around her and her enemy, so if anything, she has an advantage). Her hair is silver like in the picture, but it's shorter, just past the shoulders, and it's not in a braid. Other than that, she has a pair of white, angelic wings growing out of her back that allow flight; these seem to be the only bestial part of her.
Her sword always glows with a deadly, yet beautiful light.
Attacks:
1.Celestial Slash: Sword glows with a heavenly light as she disappears, only to reappear behind her opponent with a crescent wound on their body that glows. Considered her most basic attack.
2.Dual-Sword Style: Takes the sheath of the sword and devours it in light, turning it into a second blade. This makes full use of Akina's "ni-to" training.
3.Fleeting Whirlwind: Using her wings and Dual-Sword Style to maximize the strikes, she flys up into the air; and when high enough, she spins down, forming a tornado with a barrage of light-energy scythes formed from her 2 swords.
4.*Celestial Wrath: Using both swords,she rushes at the opponent and performs a barrage of strikes. After 20 strikes, she deals the final blow.
5.**To be decided. I can't think of it.;3
Other: Akina dislikes the skirt. DISLIKES!>=O

-i want to jump on the Last Train of the day / my feelings can't wait 'til tomorrow.-Last Train by YUI

With my back against the bench, I sat in an upright position as I slowly ate the manju that was today's meal; grandfather had told me to only eat one thing today prior to today's lesson, and to get plenty of fresh air. Sitting on a bench in a park, check. Eating a green tea manju? Check. I would've opted for soba, but the vendors in the park didn't offer any.

I kept to myself as the cherry blossoms twirled around in the wind, my bites into the confection going slower and slower as a male from my kendo club approached me. I shot him a glare; it was obvious he was new to the club. But I didn't feel like wasting my time on small fry, either.

"Matsumoto-chan?"He asked as I bit again into my manju, finishing it.
"-kun."I corrected him. He seemed a bit weirded out, but then laughed at it.
"Thats what all the other boys call you, ne? Your swings in the club before break were great! When do you get to practice?"He replied, looking into my eyes as I paid no attention to his, only looking at the dancing petals in the air.
"All the time."I replied in a short, simplistic tone. He looked at me, puzzled, and I sighed. I came to the park to enjoy the quiet, not to chitchat with someone who could barely handle a shinai."My grandfather trains me."
"I see. Thats cool!"He replied, eerily enthusiastic. We both sat on the bench for a good few minutes until he spoke up once more. "Well, I'm sorry for bothering you, Matsumoto-kun. See you later."
"Farewell."I replied simplistically, and looked at him walk off a bit disappointed. I had nothing to do until 14:00pm*, and it was 12:00pm now. My head rested on the bench, and I decided if I could maybe rest, or just enjoy the silence of the atmosphere..

Until there was a vibration coming from my pocket. I took out my cell phone, wondering who it was; because I never gave out my cell phone number to anyone besides family, It was a text message, so it was probably a spam message that I'd just delete and get another one later. With the flip of my black cellphones top, I pressed yes to receive the message; I at least needed entertainment.

"Do you wish to change your life for the greater good?" 『Yes』　or 『No』

"Eh?! What kind of bullshit is this."I said a bit outloud, gathering the attention of a few people around me. I shrugged it off as I looked at the message, was it some virus for my cellphone? One of the quizzes that people like to pass around for shits and giggles? I moved my thumb over to the red phone button to press『No』, but I found myself more than compelled to press for yes. As if a person possessed, my thumb slid over and pressed for Yes, and the screen blinked, followed by a "Loading" screen that lasted a few seconds.

"Go to the nearest train station and take the elevator all the way down. You have 20 minutes."

What the..? I looked at the screen for a good minute, and the screen changed into stopwatch-mode to count down from 20 minutes. Was this some sort of hoax?! I didn't know how far the elevators at the local station could go down, but the last time I remember, nothing special was ever there. I snapped the lip shut and stood straight up from the bench.

"Might aswell go for entertainment sakes."I told myself in a whisper, and I walked peacefully out of the park; but started to make a mad dash to the station; which was more than 20 minutes away.

'20 minutes..thats not enough time! Why do I even feel like doing this if I know I'm not going to make it..' I thought to myself in a hurry, dodging people left and right on the sidewalk and almost crashing into a few outside stands a few times aswell. As I ran into a crosswalk that was busily occupied by moving cars, I ran in place, looking at my cellphone.

'10 minutes..you have to be kidding me..'I sighed, and saw a brief opening in between 3 cars. I waited for them to pass by, and made a mad dash through them as I got a few honk from the horns as I passed through. Never feeling any more suicidal in my life; I still wondered why this, a sudden stupid text message, was so important. Was it because it was out of the ordinary?

Maybe.

As I ran through the next few blocks with ease, my stomach started to cramp up on me. Eatting a Manju then running after wards, was probably not the best idea, I thought, but I could see the train station. Taking a deep breath, I continued in a running pace and made it to the station, taking out my card in one swift action as I passed through the gates. I stood in the middle of the platform, and took a good few breathers as I saw a whole bunch of people staring at me.

"Mommy, why is she breathing like that..?"I heard a child ask his mother, and I immediately gave him a glare, one enough to send him behind his mother in fear. I gathered my breath and looked at my cellphone for the watch.

'3 minutes..not enough..'I rushed, and quickly found the elevator out of memory. I slammed my fist on the button to go down, and it quickly opened up. I ran in and quickly pressed the the lower floor button over and over as the doors closed and the elevator seemed to drop. I looked up at the monitor to view the levels we were passing through, until I saw something extremely off.

The screen was flickering and the numbers were showing up randomly, like in a horror film, although the elevator wasn't going down in the manner. It soon rrived in it's spot, and my cellphones screen lit up.

"You have arrived. Please board before they depart.."Text scrolled across the screen, and I looked infront of me as it seemed that there were different kinds of trains here, and there were plenty of people looking inside the trains; but not getting on.
'Should I..? I have practice with grandfather soon..and..'I thought to myself, then looked to my cellphone in my hand as one by one, the trains began to depart. In almost a recklessly stupid move, using the rest of the sugar energy from the manju, I ran to the train that was last to depart, a pink colored one, and jumped onto it's back as it started to move. I quickly held onto the railing to stabilize myself, and looked foward as the mysterious station below the one in Sapporo was disappearing in the distance..



Anyway, the trains go by this order in the station. "White - Purple - Green - Red - Pink", and it doesn't matter which one you board. The station itself is a crossroads between 2 worlds, and the elevators in the US, Iceland and Japan all connect there(but you can only see your own elevators. gg Data).

Each underground station is the same one for everyone, it's connected to every train station that was connected to Orphanimon's message. I hope that clears it moreso than the prior paragraph..
