A Meeting Of Tamers

By Lady Geuna

Rated: PG

Summary: There is the Dark World, Dream World, Digital World, Real World, and the Tamer World. But what if Takato of the Tamer World discovers a key that could force all the worlds into one? The balance of the very worlds will shift like no one would've ever expected.

Another Universe, but mostly canon. Takes place some time before they meet Ryou and the Devas, and before their digimon are able to digivolve to Ultimate.

Prologue: A matter of worlds...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There isn't just one world. There are many. Possibly even thousands. They can only be seen in the form of colored pillars, and exist parallel to each other. They are all in a state of balance, in coexistence. But if one were to be destroyed or harmed, then all the other worlds would eventually suffer the same fate.

A perfect example is the "Digital World" and the "Real World". When the Digital World faced the threat of destruction, the Real World also faced it's own threat of destruction. Environmental disasters began to occur all over the Real World, until the ones known as the Digidestined somehow crossed over into the Digital World. After a long, hard struggle, the threat there was eliminated, and both worlds were saved.

At other times, the worlds can clash. The "Dark World" crossed over to the Digital World through the use of "human puppet" known as Ichijouji Ken. When a digivice came through his computer, Ken was taken to the Digital World. There he met Akiyama Ryou, a fellow Tag Tamer from yet another world and his future best friend, along with his digimon Veemon. In August of 2000, after meeting Akiyama for the second time, Ichijouji was implanted was Millenniumon's Dark Seed after the evil digimon was destroyed. Ichijouji and Akiyama prevented the digimon for becoming Moon=Millenniumon by Jogress digivolving to Paildramon. This took place a little while after the original Digidestined defeated Armageddonmon and returned home to the Real World. While implanted, Ichijouji was driven mad.

Because he was so overcome with darkness, Ichijouji opened a dark gate, instead of a digital one, while trying to go back to the Digital World later on.

This had been a total accident, but it was too late. His digivice was infected with darkness, and thus the first D-3 was created (he wished the D-3 into existence, because the Dark World allows your dark thoughts to come true). The darkness was able to get to Kamiya Hikari, the child of Light, through him. The creatures from the Dark Ocean attempted to take Hikari as their queen. But they did not succeed because of Takaishi Takeru, the child of Hope. He managed to cross between the worlds and save her, due to the bond between their two crests, Hope and Light. The only other times the Dark World has been known to cross over is in the Digital World, in the form of the "Dark Cave". Ishida Yamato, the child of Friendship, and Takenouchi Sora, the child of Love, both nearly "drowned" in their own darkness until their friends came and saved them. Ichijouji didn't have anyone to protect him before he was consumed by his own darkness.

Oikawa Yukito opened a gate to another world, also. This was the "Dream World", were whatever you wish for would come true. It is the opposite of the Dark World, which can bring your dark thoughts to life.

There are even some worlds that are very much alike.

In one of these worlds, an organization has formed, Hypnos, dedicated to the study of the Digital World and the creatures that inhabit it. They have developed special technology to detect those digimon who

try to enter into the Real World. Their job now was to prevent them from "Bio-emerging". Deleting them before they can enter. Now and then they would miss one of course, but that would be taken care of by the three children in Tokyo; Lee Jenrya, Makino Ruki, Matsuda Takato, and their digimon.

It is the one called Takato who will cause two worlds to clash once again, and not just with the Digital World...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somewhere in Tokyo, a man stares intently at a huge computer screen. He wasn't very happy. Though, being happy was a very rare occurrence for him lately... Especially these days.

Even with all the knowledge, resources, and information Hypnos had acquired, they still couldn't understand these children, these "Tamers".

What made them different from any other child? What is it that gives them the power, the right, to control a digimon? To make it "digivolve"? Walking data was not something to ignore, especially when it's with a bunch of little, idiotic kids. So why? Couldn't those children see the danger of data walking around amongst people?

Network Administrator Yamaki sneered, rubbing his temples. He needed some sleep...

These questions still plague them, unable to find the answers they need. All they can do is keep close watch on these three "Tamers", and the people they know. In time, they would grow tired of this pointless game they played, and the creatures would be deleted.

Simple.

However, there was little chance of it happening.

But there were more important things to be doing at the moment, it seems. The computer had detected an anomaly.

No, five anomalies. Hm, that was a few more than usual...

"Sir."

He adjusted his sunglasses, carefully studying the incoming data. "What is it?" Yamaki continued to open and closing his lighter. It was an annoying habit, but he now found it somewhat relaxing. It was better than "hitting the bottle" or chain smoking, anyway. At least it won't send him to an early grave.

"There's something wrong with the system, we can't get a secure tracer lock on it. The anomalies are on a different wave link, I think. But they're all definitely wild ones."

"It'll be too dangerous for the system to try to route the data. We can't risk circumventing the safety grid to these..."

That wasn't good. "I don't care what you have to do." He snapped the lighter shut and clinked it in his fist. "I want them destroyed!"

"Yes sir!"

"Another has entered into the system. It's like the other anomalies. We're trying to intercept, but the other signals are interfering! We can't trace it!"

"Sir! They will bioemerge in 23 seconds! We can't stop them!"

"The system won't respond! Yugoth's program cannot be activated!"

"It's breaching the system!"

The screen started to go haywire. Random patterns of 0's and 1' danced on the screen. Then other numbers began to join in with the chaos.

He heard his cell phone ring. Not intending on answering it, he just took a glance of the main screen. He was almost startled to discover it was going crazy as well.

Everything electronic.

Yamaki let out a frustrated curse, slapping his fists down into the control panel. "This can't happen! Shut that thing down!! Now!!"

"We're trying! There's something wrong with the system! It's going berserk!!"

And all at once, everything went black...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At about 10:39 p.m., Eastern time, a electrical surge ran through the city of Tokyo. There was no rational explanation that could be given, nor was a probable cause found. But for about seventy seconds, every electrical item within the city suffered some sort of breakdown. Then for four minutes afterwards, everything shut down.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a similar occurrence happened at the exact same time in Hokkaido up north.

And halfway across town, in Shinjuku, in the middle of a skywalk overlooking the bay, a digital field explodes into existence.
