Chapter 1: Birth of brothers:

You already know the story about the Digimon Tamers, am I right? Well there is an alternate world where the story is almost the same, but this has some major differences.

In a hallway of class, the eighteen year old Takato was sitting on a floor sketching in his notepad, where, taking in his appearance his hair was a lot messier, almost looking like Tai's hair.

And while he still wore similar clothing as he did when he was thirteen, consisting of a blue jacket, yellow shirt and grey trousers, his body was more developed and his face more mature.

'Wouldn't it swell to have two Digimon to be real?' Takato thought to himself as he looked at his latest drawing, which consisted of two Digimon, the first being his own creation, a red dinosaur-like Digimon that had black markings upon his arms, chest, legs and head, while the second was a familiar orange reptile Digimon that was part of his Digimon's inspiration.

'Guilmon and Agumon. It's hard to believe Digimon are still a favourite on TV.' The brunette then thought, smiling a little as he finished the details upon his sketch, wanting to go deeper in his drawing and go into a artist career.

"Hey, Chumly!" A voice then called, causing Takato to look up to see Kazu above him, staring at him with a grin.

"After school, you wanna play some Digimon again?" Kazu asked, resting his arms behind his head as he added. "I hope you got some more Cards this time."

"No problem, Kazu." Takato replied with a smirk of his own, setting his notepad in his backpack and headed off with Kazu, making their way to the park, where the duo took a spot under the slide and began their match with their Digimon cards.

"Ok, I play WereGarurumon to the battlefield." Kazu declared, wondering how Takato would react to his Ultimate Level Digimon.

About to reach for Card, Takato froze, confusion filling him as he noticed a strange blue one lying atop his deck, causing the brunette to pick it up, examine it and ask with confusion. "Huh? What this Card?"

Seeing Kazu just shrug, Takato decided to find his answer as he withdrew a scanning device, running it along the Card to see the effects.

But confusion continued to fill the duo as the scanner then changed, altering to a small device with a red pattern upon it and a red sash, which Takato then realized what it was and asked with great astonishment. "It cannot be... A Digivice? But how?"

"So what's going on here, Takato?" Kazu asked, he too just as confused.

"I don't know, but I am determined to find out." Takato said in reply, deciding to call off their match and head on home, wanting a little privacy as to better examine his new Digivice.

-Several minutes later-

Making his way out of the park and returning back home at his parent's bakery, Takato headed to his bedroom, setting his Digivice on his desk and began pacing around his room for the next few minutes, wondering how the Digivice appeared.

"Could it be, am I a chosen Digimon Tamer?" Takato asked himself, shaking his head and saying with seriousness. "Even so, I don't have a Digimon."

As if acting to his words, the screen of the Digivice began to glow, scanning the pages of Guilmon and Agumon that Takato had left all upon his desk.

"My notepad!" Takato called, rushing to his Digivice to see it had finished scanning and now had a set of two bit imaged Digi-Eggs set in the screen.

"I don't believe it. It scanned my ideas and designs of Guilmon and Agumon." Takato said, astonished, before he smiled at the realization of what was to come. "Then that means I get to get my Digimon? I'm going to have actual Digimon by my side."

"Takato, it's time for dinner!" His mother suddenly called.

"Coming" Takato called back, setting his Digivice back down and left his room, unaware, that inside the Digivice, while the two Digi-Eggs remained rested, Guilmon's Digi-Egg began to glow with a dark aura.

-Later, that night-

After finishing dinner, his homework and helping his parents with some of the duties of keeping the bakery up to code, Takato immediately hit his bed and quickly fell asleep, keeping his Digivice in his hand, while he muttered in his sleep, for he had a peculiar dream, finding himself watching an eighteen year old girl that had red hair and an amazing figure enter a foggy battlefield.

Continuing to find his gaze fixated upon the red haired girl, Takato saw the mystery girl had her red hair style in a more freestyle, flowing down her back, while her attire consisted of a blue and white shirt and a set of dark blue trousers.

"Whoa... who is she...?" Takato asked himself, finding the mystery girl quite attractive and made him want to know where he could find her.

"Renamon, can you see the digimon nearby?" The girl then asked as something appeared behind her, surprising Takato to see a yellow fox-like Digimon land beside the enchanting woman.

Looking at the Digimon, Takato immediately knew it was a female from seeing that it had a stunning and mature body figure than her human partner, along with a set of EE-sized breasts poking out from her mane.

And if that wasn't enough to tip Takato off about the vixen being a woman, her belly button showing and huge butt would be another obvious clue.

But despite the vixen's seductive form, Takato could sense she was an amazing fighter, partly from looking at her purple gloves and staring into her azure blue eyes, seeing a great loyalty and determination within them.

"Yes, Rika. It's right here." Renamon said as something appeared through the mist, revealing to be another Digimon, a Lynxmon, which showed a great hostility toward the duo.

But as amazed as Takato was at seeing the Digimon, he was also glad to now know the name of the enchanting young woman, Rika.

"Rika?" Takato questioned, thinking carefully before it hit him.

"Rika, as in Rika Nonaka?" He wondered, remembering overhearing some of the female students talking about her, namely bringing up how her mother was a model and saying many things about her that Takato found offensive, wanting to defend her honour if he knew where she was or what she looked like at the time.

But here she was, giving orders to the foxy Digimon, fighting as a team against the larger beast Digimon.

"Thermal Mane!" The Lynxmon then called furiously, releasing a stream of flame from its mane at Rika and Renamon, but neither seemed afraid by the attack, but instead, Rika withdrew a Digivice, amazing Takato to see he was not the only one to possess such an item.

And his amazement remained as Rika showed how it could be used.

"Digi-Modify!" She called, withdrawing a Digimon Card from the deck box attached to her belt and ran it through her Digivice, where she then added. "Draining Rain activate!"

From her call, the Card took its effect, causing a dark rain cloud to appear above Renamon and Lynxmon, where it poured down, just missing Renamon, but hitting the blazing Digimon, making it cry out and hiss as its attack was rendered useless, while the paralytic effects of the Card kicked in, leaving Lynxmon open for attacks.

"Another easy victory." Rika said, drawing another Digimon Card, once again calling out 'Digi-Modify', only she used a different Card.

"Thunder Fist activate!" She followed up, finished running the Card through her Digivice, causing a st of electrified gauntlets to materialize around Renamon's paws, which she then brought to the ground, causing the electricity to run through the water and around Lynxmon, making it cry loudly as it was electrocuted and defeated.

And with its defeat, it collapsed and suddenly burst into countless particles of Data that Renamon absorbed into her being, making Takato gulp, knowing not to mess with the foxy Digimon, before watching as Rika and Renamon turned, taking their leave as the surrounding area began to fog up until Takato could no longer see them or the scenery that had filled his vision.

-The next morning-

Takato woke up from his dream, rubbing his eyes as he began to adjust to another day.

"Man, why did I dream about Rika?" Takato questioned, wondering whether or not it was just a dream or if there was more to it.

However, as he sat up, his thoughts changed from Rika and to his Digimon when looked at his Digivice and saw his Digi-Eggs had hatched.

"They hatched?" Takato asked, rushing to his desk and taking his Digivice in hand, seeing only the shells of the Digi-Eggs, which made him then wonder. "But where are Guilmon and Agumon?"

He then saw a beep, a signal from his Digivice and saw a map of Shinjuku with it pinpointing their location.

"Down in the alleyway huh?" Takato asked himself as he quickly changed clothing, left the Matsuki residence and followed the source of the Digivice soon coming across a strange light in the alleyway and saw two Digimon appear.

The first being a red bipedal dinosaur-like creature with red scales, a set of bat-like wings protruding from its head, acting like ears, an inverted marking takato knew as the Zero Unit imprinted upon its snouth, as well as both feet, but what confused Takato was why the Digimon had its eyes shut.

It had three claws on each hand and two claws on the front of each foot, with one claw on the back of each foot.

White scales covered its belly, while the Digital Hazard symbol was marked upon the Digimon.

And to complete its appearance, like all his illustrations, this Digimon had the same black horizontal lines on its arms, legs, neck, back and tail, as well as two black marks under its eyes and a black triangle mark on each shoulder.

The second Digimon, Takato recognized as Agumon, most notable from its reptilian appearance and amber coloured skin that was standing around three feet tall.

The Agumon had a set of light green eyes, flattened forearms with broad, three-clawed hands, though early artwork for the Digimon virtual pet depicted its hands with four claws and distinct pectoral muscles.

Its legs and arms were very vascular and its head and snout were almost as large as the rest of its body.

But breaking from the sudden amazement, Takato then spoke his mind. "It's true. It's them. Agumon... Guilmon... they're both here!"

However, as joyous as he was at seeing the Digimon was real, all of a sudden, Agumon let out a snarl and attacked.

"Pepper Breath!" The Digimon called, releasing a ball of flame close to the brunette, shocking Takato.

"Agumon, why did you do that?" Takato questioned, getting Agumon's attention, making it walk over to him as Takato braced himself, thinking the Digimon to be hostile. "I created both Digimon and now one is about to blast me to smithereens!"

As he braced himself, Agumon stopped in front of him and sniffed him a little, which made him smile happily, before he nuzzled the Tamer, surprising Takato, who then asked "You aren't gonna hurt me?"

"Nya?" Agumon asked back, not used to his speech patterns yet.

But telling Agumon was indeed friendly, Takato smiled happily.

"I really created you. And you're mine. Hi, Agumon." Takato said cheerfully as he hugged Agumon's muzzle, making the orange Digimon laugh in reply.

Making sure not to exclude his other partner, Takato then turned his attention to Guilmon

"Guilmon! I am glad you were here. Now us three can be partners." He said, expecting Guilmon to either speak innocently or very little like Agumon, but found an eerie silence as Guilmon slowly rose his head, before opening his eyes and revealing them to be an deep red colour with slit irises.

'Something isn't right.' Takato thought as he stared at Guilmon, concerned as he questioned himself. 'What is this evil power Guilmon is producing?'

From the dark vibe Guilmon was giving, Agumon hugged closely to Takato in fear as Guilmon suddenly sprouted a set of black feathered wings from his back and then flew off into the air, ignoring Takato and Agumon.

Stunned, Takato called out. "Guilmon, come back! Where are you going?"

However, Guilmon continued to ignore his Tamer and flew away, continuing to concern Takato, who had to ask. "Guilmon... what happened to you?"
