It's been awhile, but I've tried another attempt at writing. Yu-Gi-Oh was a bit difficult writing about, as it involved spending a large amount of time planning the Duels, and writing around them, and furthermore, it was difficult to find a way to make reading about them interesting. To be quite honest, I'm rusty as it is when it comes to basic writing, so piling on having to plan out a game as well for each chapter was quite difficult for me.
So, I switched gears. Another childhood series I enjoyed was Digimon, and that series has a lot of potential to write about. So, well, here's something I've worked on. I'm not the best writer, so this is more or less practice for me, but I hope you'll enjoy the story, and if you're not a Digimon fan, might wanna check out the actual series as well.
I hope to have a new chapter out every other week, and actually finish at least an entire story arc. That being said, enjoy!
The Plot
Digimon: D.E.M is an original Digimon story, a unique take on the original formula of Digimon Adventure. Seven Humans and Seven Digimon team-up to take on the evil plaguing the Digital World and prevent it from destruction. Sounds familiar, right?
D.E.M is a 'retelling' of Digimon Adventure, in a sense. It returns to the linear evolution format (Child, Adult, Perfect, Ultimate) of the original series, and the basic element of a Human and Digimon Partner working together. It is focused on nostalgia in a sense, but with some unique elements thrown into the mix as well, as the story progresses coming into its own feel.
Characters
* Tau: The Leader
Digimon: Primemon. An ape creature, with an affinity for fire.
* Sigma: The Lone Wolf
Digimon: Celmon. A dinosaur-like creature, with an affinity for ice.
* Rho: The Heart
Digimon: Komorimon. A white bat, with an affinity for wind.
* Pi: The Brains
Digimon: Whiskmon. A catfish/eel, with an affinity for electricity.
* Kappa: The Pillar
Digimon: Platymon. A platypus, with an affinity for water.
* Iota: The Soul
Digimon: Kaguyamon. A bamboo creature, with an affinity for nature.
* Lambda: The Guide
Digimon: Duomon. A two-headed dragon, with an affinity for both light and dark.
Important Notes Before Reading
* This story has no connection to the Adventure, Tamers, Frontier, Savers, or Xros Universes, technically. The Digital World featured in this story is similar to the one seen in Digimon Adventure, but otherwise is not meant to be the same Digital World. There are a few easter eggs as the story develops that hint at connections to the other series, but are basically in-jokes.
* For standardization sake, I'll be using the original names for the Digimon and their attacks, so, Piyomon instead of Biyomon, and 'Baby Flame' instead of 'Pepper Breath'. Since there are a lot of Digimon that haven't had a proper 'dub debut', and a lot of dub names have changed throughout the various media, it's just easier to manage.
* The central 'Partner Digimon', as well as a few of the supporting Digimon, are my own creations, and I hope you'll accept them. I feel Digimon has a loose enough canon that 'OC Digimon' aren't as much of an annoyance as Fan Pokemon in a Pokemon Fic, which has a more stable, less shifting roster of creatures. Most of the Digimon featured, though, are pulled from the actual franchise. At the end of each Chapter, I'll provide a Digimon Glossary, with a link to 'Wikimon', the Digimon Encyclopedia, for those of you to brush up on the Digimon featured, and some information provided by myself about the original Digimon featured.
* I've taken a few liberties for plot sake when it comes to minor technical things like a Digimon's level (one Ultimate Digimon is merely a Perfect Digimon, as an example), their strengths, etc. Of course, this stuff changes in the official material as well, so I don't think it is that big of a deal. I'll make a note in the Digimon Glossary when such a change occurs.
