I have no idea what inspired me to write a Digimon fic, but who cares. You know the drill. Read and review. Constructive criticism will be taken into consideration, but criticism will be ignored with lightening fast indifference ! Also, if you need a better explanation, just say so and I’ll include it in the next chapter. Like all my fanfics, this one will be continued/discontinued depending on the reviews.
The day began in a totally boring way. Like most kids in my class, I was prepping myself up for the new show “Digimon: Digital Monsters”. I guess looking back, it was kinda kiddish, but whatever. If I hadn’t watched it, well…I still haven’t decided if I’d do it all over again.
Anyway, like I said, it began in a totally boring way. I got up, ate breakfast, got changed, and awaited the new program. According to one of my friends, his friend in Japan said the new show ruled. It was like, Pokemon, but on a much larger scale. That almost sold me out, but when he showed me pictures of these really cool monsters (I really admired the one named Gabumon), I just had to watch it. So, there I was. Zack Zepelli, ZZ, ready for action.
The show began in a typical way: an annoyingly catchy theme song, a brief introduction of the characters, and then the event that sets the show in motion. In fact, THAT event was what set me in motion. I had just gotten a new computer (well, actually it’s sort of old, but since my brother moved out, I get all his stuff) and as soon as the first commercial rolled, everything went out. My house was plunged into dimness (it was morning, so it could have been worse). All except for my computer, that is. Of course, I wouldn’t realize this until it was to late.
Digimon: The Beginning of the Beginning Chapter 1
The kid, the cone, and the computer
“MOM?!”
“Yes, dear?”
“POWER’S OUT!”
Mary Zeppelli shook her head. She would never admit it, even to her other friends, but her son was captain obvious. Not five minutes had passed since the blackout rolled, and her son just called to her. Matters were not helped by the fact that she herself had just woken up (at least he had fixed his own breakfast). At thirteen, she really expected him to be a little more dependent (in a matter of minutes, his life would depend on it), but now wasn’t the time to be concerned with that. She had gone into the garage to look for the power switch. She had just been looking for any disconnections (they had some rats in the garage which their cat would not take care of) when Zack had called.
“I know, honey ! I’ll be with you in a sec. See if anyone else’s power went out !” she called back
After seeing no disconnections, she went upstairs
************************************************** ***
Zack took his brother’s cell phone and dialed a few numbers. He called some of his friends to see if their power went out. The answers surprised him. About half, who were the ones watching digimon, had their power out, and they lived in different areas. The other half, who lived elsewhere and were doing something else at the time, still had theirs on.
“Huh. That’s weird,”
Zack turned around. His mother was there at the door.
“Zack, honey, not all the power’s out. Your computer is still on,”
“Huh ?”
“Your computer, look !”
Zack looked where his computer was next to his bed. So it was on. It was on
When did I even turn it off ?
“Did anyone else have their power on ?”
“Only a few people, but they live farther away from us”
“Oh. Okay. Well, it’s morning, so it shouldn’t matter to much. I’m going to make myself some breakfast, okay ?”
With that, she turned to the hallway, leaving Zack staring at his computer.
************************************************** *****
About the same time she hung up, May Flor’s computer flashed up. Ignoring her brother’s cries (one of his T.V. show’s disappeared due to the blackout, and now he and everyone else was paying. Typical.), she stared at the monitor (which had a super-cut background of P. Diddy, her dream boyfriend). She had actually been on her way to turn it on (her depressed science teacher decided to take her frustrations out on May this weekend), but as soon as the blackout happened, it flipped on by itself. Well, not really. It was on, but the on/off button wasn’t flipped.
What did Zack say about the blackout ?
That in itself was weird. She and Zack got along, but the amount of time they spent talking to each other was strictly a school time thing. Well, whatever. It saved her the trouble of pressing the switch herself.
************************************************** ****
Something pretty weird was happening at the Zeppeli household. The mysterious computer screen aside, it was now starting to glow green.
“Where have I seen that before ?” Zack asked himself. He found from past events that talking out loud helped him remain calm.
“Oh yah, the Digimon show !”
He couldn’t stop starring at it. All the while he was remembering what had happened during the show. The kids getting sucked up…and up…and up…

Blue, blue, blue, blue, and some green. This was the scenery Zack saw when he first woke up. He was groggy. It was like waking up on a Saturday expecting school.
Where am I ?
How’d my computer get on ?
Where’s mom ?
What’s that cone thing ?
Wait. What is that cone thing ?
There was a thing pyramid like cone sticking up from the sand of the extremely small beach. Some to think of it, there were dozens of tiny islands, all with beaches on them, and all of them had cones on them. Wonder what they were…
Throwing caution to the wind (Zack’s curiosity took the best of him, again), he reached out to touch the cone. It quivered. He touched it again, this time a hard poke. It shook more. Smiling faintly, he started poking it relentlessly. It started shaking, then stirring, then…erupting ?
There were small puffs of sand coming up around the cone. Zack, freaked, feel backwards. The erupting kept on for a scant five seconds. Then it stopped. Then…
BAM !
Something exploded where the cone had been ! A shadow was cast over Zack. Then the thing landed. Zack, to wrapped up in his own awe, actually scrambled up for a closer look. The thing wasn’t that tall. Give or take a few inches, it probably came upto Zack’s chest, which really wasn’t saying much. The head was a little like a lizards, except the eyes were covered by some visor (or was it sunglasses ?). The cone, which had been shaking a little while ago, came out of the creature’s back, which gave it the turtle like impression. The skin was an aqua type of green and the feet were like a human’s, except they stood on the sole of the feet, which reminded Zack of a ballerina. Zack almost laughed out loud at this, but then he noticed the next feature. The arms were lanky, and the claws, each with five razor-sharp nails, which Zack seriously thought were metal (he later turned out to be right), hung down past the waist. The creature, who looked like it was coming out of a daze itself, looked up at Zack and smiled.
“Hi there !”
So, whatdya think ? I know it seems bland, but I intend for this story to develop at a much quicker pace. Also, it will not always be in third-person (it’s important to see what’s going on in a character’s head, especially Jolyne’s).
