I don't own digimon.
Digital Adventures Online
Session 1
Logging in
Elena dashed across the pavement.
She had shoved the game into the back pocket of her dark blue sundress, occasionally making sure it hadn't fallen out. In retrospect, putting it in her vest was probably a much better idea. At the very least, it slightly complimented her mess of purplish brown hair and amber eyes. A pair of kris hung by her waist, looking like a cross between a pie cutter and a dagger.
All around her, were the tall skyscrapers that towered in the sky. Surrounding those large titans of stone and metal, were the sidewalks and roads required for a city. Among those two areas, large crowds of people gathered . Strangely, the coming of the night sky did little to faze them from actually taking their gazes off of their magical little devices as car blissfully passed on by.
"Just my luck." Elena thought, her body beginning to stutter a little bit as data particles seemed to be cast off of her. She always hated this part of the day, preferring to spend it inside. But, sometimes one needs to face their fears and take a step into the wild side of life. In this case, that meant heading out into the world to get her new game before night fell onto the city. A building then came into view, beckoning her in. Elena almost immediately accepted, her dash turning into a whole blown run as she entered.
Inside it was your typical lobby affair, white walls and white tile floors with a bunch of barf green sofas scattered about. The corsair continued to walk on by, heading straight towards the elevator. She pushed the button labelled "three" and rolled her amber eyes.
It had been alright day at school, even with the annoyance of dealing with the teasing. Even then, the hardest thing about it wasn't the work. It was interacting with others, a skill that all the other people at her school seemed to be more skilled at than her. After a few minutes of just standing there and listening to the dull elevator music, the elevator stopped and the corsair exited into the hallway. Amid the light shadows brought forth by the windows, a creature stood at the far end of the area. It looked like a black cat, but the shadows weren't making identifying the creature an easy task.
"Liora, is that you?" Elena whispered, running towards the animal. The creature just sat there, waiting for the girl to come over. Just as she reached the feline, it faded away. "Just my eyes playing tricks on me."
The way back to to the apartment passed in silence and slight disappointment. At the very least, it was the first person in quite a while to actually give a care about her.
Nonetheless, Elena opened the door and headed in. Inside, a sparsely furnished apartment filled with plushies and the usual furniture awaited her. The only thing of note, appeared to be a shield-like crest displaying a sword and a wand. Below it, was a simple title.
Drogaciji Academia
This, was the only connection the corsair held to her old home. In a way, it was all she needed. Elena sat herself down at the desk, pulling the game out as she booted up her laptop. She then slid the disk in, the world beginning to swirl around...
.
Elena opened her eyes.
Gone was her apartment, having been replaced with barren plains blanketed by a reddish orange sky.
Beside her, the deceased body of a high school student laid. While there appeared to be no visible wounds, bits of banana covered the head.
"Just ignore the very unimportant dead body."
Elena's gaze snapped away from the dead body, finding herself looking at an orange dino wearing a pair of golden pants.
"Welcome to Digital Adventures Online." the creature announced, pulling a banana out. "I am Swaggy McSwaggypants. Now, what is your name?"
Elena only stood there, debating whether or not to answer.
"Uh..." she started, taking a deep breath. "Elena Yuliana."
As Elena said that, Swaggy pulled out a clipboard and gave it a quick glance. When the dino finally did return his gaze to the corsair, a look of fear and sadness had formed on his face.
"Go, while she still doesn't know you're here."
Elena then walked away, pushing what little trust she had in the inhabitants of this place to the back of her mind. Her gaze focused on the far end of the area. To the east, appeared to be a small cave jutting out of the from the wall of a canyon.
Swaggy McSwaggypants quickly became just a little speck on the horizon, possibly bothering some other unlucky soul. Not that Elena really cared about that for the minute. At the moment, she just wanted to explore the cave. After that, Elena wasn't too sure. The walk to the cave slowly came into view, indifferent to whoever decided to enter it.
Inside, darkness seemed to emanate from within the quite plain brown stone walls and floor.
"That's it?" Elena thought and took a step. Almost instantly, the floor crumbled into dust, dropping her into a slightly smaller chamber. Unlike the chamber above it, the walls had been painted silver with the floor not getting the same treatment. After, her gaze focused on a solitary brown pillar jutting out from the ground. Sitting on said pillar, was a large sea green egg.
"Release me..."
Elena looked all around, unable to find the source of the voice. Her gaze quickly returned to the egg, which seemed to be the only possible source of the disturbance. She took a step closer to it, placing her left hand on it. The egg was then engulfed with purplish black light, forcing the corsair back a few steps. When the light finally disappeared, a sea green feathered scorpion now sat on pillar.
"Uh..." Elena started, only to stop. "Hi?"
"HI!THANKYOU!WHAT'SYOURNAME?" a stream of words flooded out of the bug's mouth, only for the digimon to jump into her arms. As such, said creature currently found a kris in her face. "Sorry about that, let's try that again."
Elena stared blankly at her new friend, strapping the dagger back onto her dress.
"Elena." the corsair answered, only for the scorpion to crawl up onto her head. "
"Carinamon." the creature explained, jumping off of Elena's head.
Scanning...
Carinamon
Rookie, Data
Special Moves: Carina Sting, Poison Claw
.
Elena: So, we're partners now?
Carinamon: Yep!
Elena: Don't I get any kind of fanfare or acknowledgement of this being special?
?: Other than that one little thing and Elena being a mistake, no.
Scan Complete.
Elena and Carinamon turned around, suddenly finding themselves back outside the cave. Before a brief second, they could make out a translucent figure, only for it to disappear before either of them could get a good look at it. In the time they were in the cave, the sky had gone from bright blue to a slightly darker purple.
"Who was that?" Carinamon inquired, only to get no response from her human. The scorpion then turned around, finding a large purple four-legged hawk creature with a broken pocketwatch around it's neck. A pair of amber pupils gazed over all, while its claws dug into the sand. It had a rubbery look to it, with a mane of multicolored feathers sprouting from it's back. Finishing off the look, was a long black tail with a metal 'spike' at the end. "What happened to you?"
Laughter then filled the area, it's source unknown.
Notes:
Now that I know where this is going, this wasn't that hard of a chapter to edit. Even if it meant redoing nearly everything.
Outside of fixing Elena's other form of course. Which is hopefully the last thing that I'll need to fix on this chapter.

Next Time: A little meddling couldn't hurt, could it?
