Prologue
In a parallel universe comprised of computer data known to all as the Digital World, we find five Mega Level Digimon conversing about a very important topic. These Digimon are known as the Digimon Sovereign: Azulongmon, Zhuqiaomon, Ebonwumon, Baihumon, and Fanglongmon. They are the rulers of the five quadrants of the Digital World.
Azulongmon is a Digimon whose body type is like that of an Asian dragon. However, his body itself is made of blue lightning with orbs resembling prayer beads around his wrists, and long links of chains encircling his body. He has a pair of angel wings due to being a holy attribute Digimon, and a dark blue helm with yellow lightning patterns all over. Sticking out of the top of his helm is a blue horn resembling a thunderbolt, and he has a fantastic mustache/beard combo that almost resembles the facial hair of the great wizard known as Merlin. Overall, his design is derived from Seiryu: the Azure Dragon of the East from Chinese legends.
Zhuqiaomon is a bird Digimon whose design is like that of the Vermillion Bird of the South, Suzaku, from Chinese legends. He has several pairs of wings that are like those of a bird, all having a flame pattern in the feathers, with the main pair of wings having claws or talons. His body is like that of a dragon and also has a pattern of flame. Red orbs like prayer beads hover around his neck, and his long beak and fiery helm make him appear similar to a majestic Phoenix: a mythical bird that is reborn from its own ashes.
Ebonwumon is a Digimon that has the body and shell of a turtle with two snake-like heads, a long tail, and a giant tree growing from the back of his shell. The shell and armor on his body are brown, while the scales on his body are a pale yellow color. He resembles Genbu: the Black Tortoise of the North.
Baihumon is literally a giant Digimon with the form of a white tiger. He has lavender purple stripes, a helm of the same color, spiky gunmetal gray braces around his hind legs and the tip of his tail, three spikes going down between his shoulder blades, a row of pale yellow prayer beads around the center of his abdominal area, and a pair of guards on his forelegs that have the chinese symbol for 'White Tiger' on them. His overall design is based on Byakko: the White Tiger of the West from Chinese lore.
The final member of the Digimon Sovereign is Fanglongmon. He's a giant, golden dragon with layers of sharp, golden scales all over his body and massive horns on his head. His piercing red eyes look like they could burn a hole right through your soul, and he has pale red prayer beads going down the middle of his spine, right between two protective rows of horns growing from the sides of his body. He is said to be derived off of the Yellow Dragon of the Center from Chinese lore.
The five Digimon were looking down at the viewing orb they use when they search out worthy humans to become Digidestined. The Digimon Tamers are not necessarily Digidestined, as they don't have any sort of obligation to protect the Digital World. There is, however, one member of their group who is worthy of being a Digidestined. Plus a few others from an alternate Earth.
Takato Matsuki is his name.
When the boy was first chosen to be a new Digidestined, Azulongmon and his fellow Digimon Sovereign had gifted the boy with a very special Digivice. Unlike the D-Arks that the other Tamers possess, Takato's was a genuine Digivice with the ability to create a Digimon partner by scanning the data of a Digimon that the user made from scratch. It could even revive a lost species of Digimon.
So what Takato doesn't realize is that when it scanned his drawings and data regarding his fallen partner, Guilmon, it actually caused one of the Digital World's Royal Knights to be reborn in his Rookie Level. But even as a Rookie, Guilmon has the power of a low level Champion Level Digimon.
But this is exactly why they are gathered here today.
During Zhuqiaomon's rather extreme methods of taking back Calumon, the physical incarnation of the Light of Digivolution that was created by Azulongmon, Takato and the Tamers had ventured into the Digital World in order to rescue Calumon. Looking back on that now, Zhuqiaomon now understands how he might have implied that Calumon needed rescuing. Unfortunately for them, when they finally made it to the final entrance to Zhuqiaomon's palace, they were met by the recently Digivolved Impmon who was just itching to fight them and absorb the data of the Tamers' Digimon.
The Mega Level demon Digimon called himself Beelzemon.
None of the Digimon belonging to the Tamers were strong enough to bring down Beelzemon as he overpowered them all. Four Digimon at the Ultimate Level just weren't enough. In the end, Beelzemon had not only absorbed the data of Renamon and Terriermon's Ultimate Level forms (Taomon and Rapidmon), but he'd also completely absorbed the champion level partner of Jeri: Leomon.
That was when Takato snapped and did something that, to this day, the boy regrets deeply. Using his anger towards his own powerlessness, his hatred for Beelzemon, and his sorrow at Leomon's death, Takato forced Guilmon to Dark Digivolve into the polar opposite of the Royal Knight he is meant to be. At the same time, Takato had unintentionally crushed his own Digivice and severed the link between his heart and Guilmon's core, leading the newly Dark Digivolved Digimon to go on a rampage where he was fully intent on destroying all enemies in sight.
Guilmon, instead of Digivolving into the holy knight of the 13 Royal Knights of the Digital World, had Dark Digivolved into… Megidramon: Keeper of the Digital Hazard.
Megidramon succeeded in defeating Impmon and purging him of his darkness… but at a price.
His own data had been destabilized. Megidramon burst into particles before being sent back to the Primary Village to be reborn. Zhuqiaomon, having witnessed Takato and Guilmon's boundless courage when in the face of danger and need to protect others, even though Megidramon had been brought back into existence for a brief time, had shielded Guilmon's data from being absorbed. Preserving the partner of a one in a million Digidestined like Takato was the least he could do.
"This is terrible." lamented Zhuqiaomon.
"I agree, old friend." Ebonwumon said, his voice sounding like an elderly man. "That poor boy sacrificed so much to save his friends… and they betrayed him for it."
Baihumon slammed his paw on the ground, making a spider web of cracks in the stone due to his anger. He is the most hot headed of the Digimon Sovereign, but he values loyalty above all else. And to him, what these 'Tamers' that Zhuqiaomon created have done is completely unforgivable.
"THOSE PATHETIC HUMANS DARE TO CALL THEMSELVES DIGIDESTINED!? THEY ARE A DISGRACE TO THE POSITION!" roared Baihumon. "IF I EVER SEE THEM IN MY SECTION OF DIGI-WORLD, I'M GONNA-!"
"Calm yourself, Baihumon. We are all as angry about their actions as you are, but that's no reason to begin using questionable language." said Azulongmon. "Besides, I think we all know that Zhuqiaomon feels bad enough for his choices regarding how he ran his part of the Digital World, and the outcome of his testing the tamers to see if they had what it takes to be true Digidestined."
Zhuqiaomon simply hung his head in shame. It's true he didn't really believe that any of the tamers were worthy of being true Digidestined, let alone obtaining the ability to Biomerge, but he didn't expect this whole incident with Megidramon to happen.
"What do we do now, Azulongmon?" asked Zhuqiaomon. "I take full responsibility for my actions regarding Takato and Guilmon, and even what happened with the other tamers, but we must not allow Takato's light to be extinguished like this. The light that makes him a true Digidestined is fading rapidly, and I have no idea how to restore it!"
Fanglongmon looked thoughtful as he viewed an Earth parallel to their own. One where aliens and humanoids that have superpowers comparable to the Digimon are actually quite common. More specifically, he was looking into the lives of several females from that realm. Ones he knows will do Takato some good. And he for them.
"It is time we create a new generation of Digidestined. Ones who will aid Takato in saving the entire Digital World from the greatest of all evils." he said. "But for this to be successful, we must call forth many Digimon. We will need to find the perfect partner for each chosen Digidestined."
The remaining members of the Digimon Sovereign nodded and departed for their respective sections of the Digital World. There they will host… auditions, shall we say… and determine just which Digimon will fit each of the warriors that Fanglongmon has in mind. The golden dragon, meanwhile, looked down to the viewing portal and looked at the females who would become part of the next Digidestined.
Two sisters from another planet: both princesses of their people. A mage who has great difficulty controlling her powers. A female with the power to sting like a bee. And a blonde girl with the power to control the very earth itself.
"Soon, Takato… soon, your spirit shall be healed. And together with your soulmates, you shall restore the balance of the human and Digital Worlds." Fanglongmon thought out loud.
"Excuse me, Fanglongmon-Sama, but… who are you talking to?" asked a passing DemiDevimon.
*To Be Continued…*
Yeah, I've seen a whole lot of stories where Guilmon actually dies after the whole Megidramon vs Beelzemon debacle and I figured I'd give a try at writing my own take on one of those stories. As you can see, it's a crossover between Digimon and Teen Titans and the pairing will be Takato and a small harem. He and these girls will be the true members of Takato's generation Digidestined. But I need some suggestions for some of their partner Digimon.
Starfire's Partner: Undecided
Blackfire's Partner: Undecided
Raven's Partner: Undecided
Terra's Partner: Undecided
Bumblebee's Partner: Fanbeemon
If you have suggestions for them, please be sure to let me know in your reviews. See you all in the next chapter!
