All Aboard

Shibuya, Japan

A spiky brown haired teenager named Ryu Yamamoto traversed a staircase with a yellow dinosaur Digimon by his side.

The Digimon by his side is known as Agumon. Agumon and Ryu are able to fuse together and become a Mega level Digimon known as WarGreymon through a process known as Biomerging.

The reason for him being there was that he received a strange phone call from someone he'd never encountered before.

'What was with that bizarre phone call I received earlier.' Ryu thought to himself.

Ryu would soon discover that he wasn't the only one contacted.

Five other kids had also gotten a strange message and headed to the train station.

Their names were Takuya, Koji, Zoe, J.P. and Tommy.

After boarding the elevator, Ryu stood next to a black-haired kid wearing a green jacket and baseball cap.

'Who's he?'

Ryu paid him no attention and continued down the staircase.

"Ah, come on, give me a break I'm doing the best I can!" A boy shouted bolting to his feet and holding his head in frustration getting weird looks. He wears a yellow T-shirt with a black D-like symbol on the chest, under a red jacket with pockets on each side of the chest, a dark brown Bermuda, light brown gloves, white socks, orange and red sneakers with white soles, and a light brown cap over which he puts his goggles. The cap leaves a tuft of his hair in the front.

The girl had long blonde hair and green eyes. She wears a pink cap with two points the resemble cat ears coming out of it. She also wears white and pink shoes and long purple socks. She wears a blue and white striped shirt under a pink jacket and a pink skirt. Both the skirt and the jacket have vertical stripes on the sides. Her shirt is cut to expose her bellybutton, and her jacket is also open.

Across from her was a young, overweight boy with spiky brown hair and eyes. He wears a orange shirt under a blue jumpsuit with yellow pockets, white socks, and blue and yellow sneakers. In his right hand is a chocolate bar.

The last person in the car was a young boy with light skin, short brown hair and green eyes. He wears a mustard-colored shirt under a V-neck shirt with short sleeves, a dark green collar and dark green trimmings at the sleeves and the bottom. He also wears yellow shorts with two pockets at the front and red suspenders hanging loosely from the sides, orange socks, and white and green sneakers. On his head, he wears an oversized orange newsboy cap.

The girl nodded holding up her phone while the boy across from her just sighed and rested his chin on his hand.

"With them here, there's five of us I wonder if that means something special." The girl said facing the boy in the jumpsuit.

"Something special?" Takuya inquired looking down to his phone. "What, why did you guys get on this train?" The girl gave Takuya a confused look as he walked forward stopping in front of the boy in the jumpsuit and continued. "I mean, was it the message?"

"Hey kid, this is the closest train to the elevator okay?" The boy said looking irritated while pointing a chocolate bar at Takuya. "Now look, just leave me alone."

"Gee, sorry." Takuya said.

"Ignore him." Ryu spoke as he entered the train car with Agumon. "I'm Ryu Yamamoto and this...is my Digimon partner, Agumon."

"There must be a reason you picked this particular train, right?" Takuya said causing the girl behind the two boys to giggle.

"like him it was closest to the elevator." She said.

The boy grinned giving Takuya a side look.

Ryu rolled his eyes at what J.P was doing.

"Watch this." He whispered before addressing the girl across from them holding out his chocolate bar.

"Hey honey you want some chocolate?" He then pushed Takuya to the side as he got up pointing to himself. "So my name's J.P., what yours?"

"I'm Zoe, it's nice to meet you." Zoe replied smiling politely.

I'm Takuya, hi there." Takuya said smiling.

"I'm-" The boy to Zoe's right started getting everyone to turn to him. "I'm Tommy but-" Tommy kept his head low so his cap was hiding the top half of his face. "I didn't want to get on this train."

"What are you saying?" Takuya asked as Tommy started blubbering and his shoulders started to shake a little.

"Two kids, bullies, and they-" Tommy started to say as he remembered how he got on the train. "Pushed me on the train and shut the door." He finally turned to face the other kids and they can see tears flowing down his face. "Why are kids always picking on me?"

"Jeez, the kids is like a faucet." J.P. muttered while Tommy continued to cry.

"J.P.!" Zoe said before turning to Tommy and smiled kindly to him. "Don't worry Tommy you're safe now that you're with us."

Suddenly, something that sounds like someone impersonating a train whistle sounded as the lights went out and the car started to shake knocking everyone off their feet.

"What's going on?" Takuya asked looking at the device in his hand as the same symbol from before appeared on the screen.

"Welcome to the digital world Takuya." The voice said. "This is your D-tector."

"Digital world, you're kidding." Takuya muttered as the train reached the end of the tunnel. "What have I gotten myself into?"

The train started riding the rails up before going straight again. Michael turned to the others and saw they were holding the same device in Takuya's hand but in different colors. J.P's being blue and yellow, Zoe's purple and pink, and Tommy's white and green.

"Did you guys get that message?" Takuya asked as they stared at the devices they held while Michael stared at his phone that was the only one that hasn't changed. 'I'm guessing yes.'

Train whistle sounded again but louder causing everyone to cover their ears.

"You can hear that on Mars!" Takuya yelled so the others can hear him over the sound.

Everyone turned to the window to see many little jellyfish-like creatures flying by.

"Are those ghosts?" Zoe wondered as she got up to get a closer look.

"They look like it." Tommy replied sounding a little scared.

"Or marshmallows." J.P said. "They go great with chocolate."

"Are you kidding me?" Ryu questioned incredulously.

One of the creatures got closer til it was sticking on the window making a creepy face which caused Zoe to scream making them scatter out of surprise.

"Probably ghosts of kids who came here before." Takuya said hands on the window looking outside freaking out. "What have I gotten myself into, and what if there's no way of getting back out?"

"Jeez, calm down Takuya." Zoe said after calming down. "We're all in this together."

"I bet that's the train station." Zoe said as the train entered and started to slow down. "I hope there aren't anymore of those ghost things there." There was uneasiness in her voice that she quickly shook off. "Not that I was scared or anything!"

"Yeah, I always scream in terror when I'm not afraid." J.P said sarcastically. As the train slowed to a stop.

Zoe scoffed at that. "Boys."

The doors opened for them to see a bunch of weird grey ball-like creatures with bunny ears and red eyes in front of them.

"Human kids I want to play with!" One of them said as another said. "Just don't break them this time."

The kids in the train were not sure if they wanted to come out when suddenly steam came out from behind them and pushed them out and landing on their backs.

"That first step's a doozy." A sudden voice said laughing at it's own joke.

"Yeah." Tommy groaned not realizing that it wasn't the others who said that.

"Is it me or did the train just talk?" Takuya asked staring at the train that now looks different from when they first got on it.

"The train did talk." Ryu replied.

"Hey bub, I'm not just any old train, I'm Trailmon and I'm alive just like you." Trailmon said. "Although I am more handsome than you scrunched up little pugs thank you very much. Anyhow, this here is flame terminal, you're in the heart of digimon village."

"Digimon village?" Takuya asked getting up.

"Yeah pals." The bunny-eared ball said getting up in Tommy's face. "Our last friends didn't last very long."

"I have enough friends." J.P said nervously as they were surrounded and Tommy started crying again.

"I didn't even want to be on this train!" Tommy yelled as he cried.

"Sorry you feel bad kiddo, but I can't stick around." Trailmon said as he backed up. "If you want to go home, you'll have to find a spirit or something."

"This kid should get a job as a fire alarm." J.P said watching Trailmon back up.

"What's a spirit and where do we get one?" Zoe asked just as Trailmon was already out of the station. "Hello!"

"Where you going give us an answer!" J.P yelled. "Hey!"

"Hey yourself, I got a schedule to keep!" Trailmon yelled back.

"So, guess that's it we're all alone." Takuya said as they watched Trailmon leave. J.P and Zoe both got up.

"Wait, come back here!" J.P shouted.

"Yeah, pretty please!" Zoe pleaded and Tommy started to cry again.

"Take me home!" Tommy shouted before jumping off the platform and started running in the direction Trailmon just left. Takuya jumped off the platform too and chased Tommy.

"Tommy stop!" Takuya yelled.

"Why do I get the feeling we're gonna spend all our time rescuing the baby?" J.P asked rhetorically watching Takuya and Michael chase after Tommy.

Tommy continued running until he reached the last bit of land before he balanced himself on the train rails and started tight roping the rest of the way.

"Tommy!"

"Go away!" Tommy said not turning back and kept balancing himself as he walked along the train rail.

"This isn't helping you're gonna fall!" Takuya shouted trying to talk Tommy into turning around and come to them where's it's safe.

"At least I won't be here anymore!" Tommy said back before Ryu grabbed him by the back of the shirt and held him off the ground.

"And how do you intend to leave? The train that brought us here is gone." Ryu questioned.

"I'll take you home!" Takuya shouted suddenly sounding unsure of himself. "That's right, Trailmon said that if we find the spirit we can go home right?"

Ryu set Tommy down on the tracks.

Tommy stood there for a few seconds before turning his head to face them. "Right, okay I'm coming back." He started to turn around but slipped and started to fall scaring Takuya before he wrapped his arms and legs around the railing.

Takuya sighed in relief.

"That was a little too close for comfort." Takuya nodded in agreement.

"Don't move, I'm coming to get you!" Takuya called out and was about to go when a sudden green light caught their attention and when they turned their heads they saw green flames burning a building turning it into data before it vanished. Two creatures running their way the one on the left being a bipedal creature with white fur on its body, grey fur on the mouth, and black eyes. It has three claws on each hand and foot, and wears a pink belly-band. The one on the right was also bipedal but has yellow fur and looked a rabbit with squinted eyes, long pointed ears, and wearing overlarge red pants, which seem to be capable of being stretched.

"Look what you got me into!" the one and the left said as they collided with Takuya and Michael knocking them on their backs with the creatures on top of them groaning. "It's humans."

"You think everything's a human." The rabbit said as the other pulled out a magnifying glass.

"Don't start with me you-" The belly-band creature said before Takuya but him off.

"We're human, would you mind getting off us now?" Takuya eyed the one on him carefully.

"I'm so sorry." The belly-band creature apologized. "His fault."

"Yeah my fault." The rabbit said before realizing what the other said. "Hey!"

Growling caught their attention and they turned to the green flames to see a black dog with heads on its shoulders.

"What is that?" Takuya asked.

"That is one bad dog." The white furred creature said breaking Takuya's chain of thought. "His name is Cerberumon and his special attack is Emerald Blaze and that is why we need your help."

"Where's the ancient spirit?" Cerberumon demanded.

"So whenever you ready go get him." The belly-band creature said hiding behind Takuya while the rabbit hid behind Michael.

"Now would be good." The rabbit said.

"I can sense the spirit's presence all over this town." Cerberumon said. "I must destroy it."

"No way, it's mine!" Takuya shouted causing Michael to look at him like he was crazy while the two behind them just laughed nervously.

"Then you shall be destroyed with it." Cerberumon said opening his mouth wide for them to see green flames. "Emerald Blaze!"

The creatures surrounding Zoe and J.P hopped away not wanting to be caught in the attack. Zoe and J.P watched as green flames pass by the entrance of the station.

"What are you crazy, run already!" The belly-band creature yelled while on Takuya's shoulder.

"Yeah, but where am I supposed to go?" Takuya asked.

"Anywhere but here." The rabbit said as flames headed towards them.

Takuya almost lost his balance but managed to correct himself and wrap his arms around Tommy.

"That mutt is going to eat up the whole village." The creature on Takuya's shoulder said as he turned to see Cerberumon eating the data.

"Ah great!" Takuya yelled.

"There goes the train tracks." The rabbit said as the data was completely devoured and the rail they were on started to bend down.

"Takuya!" J.P called out not able to do anything else with Zoe behind them.

"Oh no."

"Agumon biomerge to...!" Ryu and Agumon overlap before a reptilian Digimon resembling a T-Rex stood in their place. Yellow armor covered most of the Digimon's body. Spiky red hair trailed down the back of his head. "...WarGreymon!"

"No way!" J.P and Zoe were left speechless at the sight of WarGreymon.

Takuya held onto Tommy while wrapping his arms and legs around the rail to prevent them from sliding off with little to no result as they kept sliding until they fell to a piece of land that was still below them. When they landed, Takuya's D-tector fell out of his pocket and it turned itself on before the same symbol from before appeared on the screen causing it to float a little off the ground and turn til it was pointing in front of Takuya.

"Hey, my D-tector." Takuya said as a beam of white light shot from it towards a pillar of fire. "No way."

Well that wasn't so hard." Takuya said his face filled with determination. "Time to go home." Takuya got up and realized one thing. "But how am I supposed to get it and what do I do with when I do?"

"No need to worry about that." Cerberumon suddenly said causing them to turn their heads to face him. "For it will so be destroyed." Then he charged towards them.

Takuya turned his eyes to Tommy who was holding on to Michael with the other two to his left and right before looking towards Cerberumon with eyes burning with determination before he took a step forward and picked up a steel pipe next to his D-tector.

"This sure rates pretty high on a scale of one to stupid." Takuya held the pipe in both hands in front of him as he blocks Cerberumon from biting his head off. However, it wasn't enough as Cerberumon ripped it from his hands and jumped over him and as an act of desperation Takuya grabbed his tail being dragged into the pillar of light with Cerberumon.

"Get out of my way human, or suffer my wrath." Cerberumon said standing in front of the spirit.

"No!" Takuya yelled before Cerberumon was covered in flames letting out cries of pain. "But I hope that his wrath isn't as bad as it sounds."

"The spirit's power!" Cerberumon shouted jumping out of the pillar rolling to a stop. "That hurt."

"But what about Takuya?" Tommy asked turning his focus to the pillar worried for the boy.

Takuya had his eyes shut and when he opened his eyes looking at his hands to see he saw that he wasn't on fire or feeling hot. "I'm fine." Takuya then looked up at the spirit. "Ancient spirit." As he stared at it Takuya's eyes had fire burning within them. "Spirit!"

Tommy and the two creatures turned to Takuya's D-tector as it floated up and flew to Takuya's hand as he pointed it at the spirit before it released a beam of light that pulled the spirit inside with the screen showing a symbol that looked like the japanese kanji for fire. "It is time."

Takuya's left hand got surrounded by a ring of code and swiped it over his D-tector.

"Execute!" When Takuya's fully swiped over his D-tector the code from his hand started to surround him. "Spirit Evolution!" Screens of data covered Takuya from the front and back as red and yellow armor appeared on it. The screens came closer and in Takuya's place was a tall warrior with long wild blond hair and blue eyes wearing red and yellow armor with the kanji for fire on its belt before landing onto a platform throwing a couple of punches. "Agunimon!"

"What is this?!" Cerberumon said in shock. "Humans turning into Digimon?!"

"What did he turn into?" Tommy asked as the belly-band creature pulled out a book from its band.

"Well let me see." He said as he flipped through the pages.

"No way." J.P said not believing what his eyes are seeing.

"Every way." Zoe said.

"Big and red, likes flames, not Santa Clause." The belly-band creature said under his breath with Tommy, Michael, and the rabbit behind him as it searched through the pages before stopping on a page that had a rough sketch of the warrior in front of them as the pillar surrounding him disappeared. "Agunimon!"

"No matter who you are you'll lose!" Cerberumon shouted before jumping up releasing green flames. "Emerald Blaze!"

"Great Tornado!" WarGreymon spun around at high speed dispersing the flames, shocking Cerberumon.

"What!?"

Agunimon did a little cartwheel grabbing Tommy, and the two digimon before doing a front flip landing on one knee in front of J.P and Zoe depositing the ones in his arms before back flipping to where Cerberumon was.

"Molto cool!" Zoe exclaimed while J.P just groaned.

"Portals of Darkness!" The eyes of the heads on Cerberumon started to glow a violet light before black holes with green outlines appeared and Agunimon jumped when a new one appeared but a new hole appeared just as he was about to land and only had enough time to grab the edge before Cerberumon forced him to fall in with his claws and when Agunimon fell in the portals closed leaving him to float not being able to see. "Now we'll see how you'll fare on my turf, darkness!"

Agunimon was looking left and right trying to find Cerberumon only to feel claws slash from his left, then his right, followed by his front letting out screams of pain with each hit before he finally managed to grab Cerberumon's claw before it can connect again.

"No one escapes the darkness." Cerberumon said before opening his mouth. "Emerald Blaze!"

The flames connected with Agunimon but no screams of pain were let out as he landed an uppercut shutting Cerberumon's mouth.

"How about I defeat you without escaping?" Agunimon said before spinning at high speeds while releasing flames. "Pyro Tornado!"

"Terra Force!" WarGreymon gathered energy and concentrated it into one spot, then fires it as an extremely dense, high-temperature energy shot.

'Human children defeated me?!' Cerberumon thought in disbelief before shouting. "No!"

"That's amazing!" Tommy said smiling that Takuya won.

"He's beautiful!" Zoe shouted her hands on her cheeks.

Cerberumon was surrounded by a ring of data and his body blacked out.

"Now to take the fractal code." Agunimon took out his D-tector pressing the button on the side causing his symbol to appear in the screen before swiping it over the ring of data. "Fractal Code Digitize!"

In Cerberumon's place was an egg while on the D-tector's screen was Cerberumon and the egg flew away.

"Hey, look at the pretty little light." The rabbit digimon said watching the egg fly away.

"You nincompoop, that pretty little light is Cerberumon's essence so it looks like we're not done with him." The belly-band digimon said as the rabbit digimon went behind him to look at the book only for the other to close it. "Buzz off, you said you didn't want to hold the book."

Tommy looked down to where Agunimon is to see him get surrounded by data before Takuya was on his hands and knees breathing hard where Agunimon was.

"Wow that's tiring." Takuya said to himself before looking at his D-tector which had the symbol from back at the train station. "But what… what happened, how did I know how to do that stuff?"

"You're Digi-destined." The voice in the D-tector replied.

"I'm what now?" Takuya asked confused.

"Digi-destined." The voice repeated. "Chosen for great things, but don't be frightened the one who chose you, is you."

"I chose myself?" Takuya asked still confused. "I guess this means we're not going home."

Meanwhile a blue train made it's way to Flame terminal station with the bandana wearing boy inside looking out the window.
