The e-mail title was To whom it may concern, something that sounds like a informing letter from University of Tokyo telling you that you’ve failed a subject. Kari, however, is relieved that this is a mail sent by Hermesmon. Personally, Kari doesn’t know jack about this Hermesmon, but if someone is using an alias as a digimon, this guy is certainly not against digimons. Recently, as a renown Digi-destined, she had been getting threat letters and hate mails from certain hate group which just can’t respect the fact that being of another world is sharing earth with them.
Kari is college second years now, she’s still her warm and gentle self, only matured and prettier. Kari studied in University of Tokyo majoring in Child Education, and her brother, Tai, is graduating this summer majoring in Foreign Diplomacy. Many things had changed since their last adventure in the digital world, many of her friends have left Odaiba and move to other places, even half way across the globe. The Digi-destined of Light no longer fight against the forces of digital evil, but against increasing amount of projects and home works. The hardship of real life are not so easy on the children who saved the world.
The Email reads:
Hikari Kamiya: Digi-destined, You’ve been chosen among few who are qualify to bear this burden. You’ve saved the Digital world more then once, and went though hardship and struggle unheard of among both men and mons. But the mission you’ve been chosen to undertake are dangerous beyond any task you’ve taken before. By agreeing to take this mission, you will face torture, death and even eternal pain and suffering. You’ll face enemies with power beyond imagination. You are chosen to become a member of The fellowship of Pantheon. Your mission will save both world from eternal enslavement and suffering. Your mission is to defeat Gods of the Digital world.
You and other member of the fellowship are to gather at Mount Olympus Plaza at Digital world Trade City
P.S.:On second thought, the minute you finish reading this message, we’ll zap you to the plaza in the digital world.
Hermesmon. messenger of the Olympus.
True to this mon’s word, a flash of light from Kari’ computer note book suck her in to the Digital World.
The room Kari fell in to is a rather classy one. It’s a heavily decorated room with ton of delicate (and weird, mind you) items and fine painting of digimons. It’s more like a room of a European rich royalty who had a passion for digimons then a room for a place called Pantheon. Kari, however is more surprised at her clothing, it’s a post-Victorian style red dress, with lace and fake flower. She (which is also a surprise) is sitting in a huge red couch with, to her surprise (this world never seize to surprise people, doesn’t it?) With Matt (Yamato?) and Sora “Hello, my lady. Isn’t the weather fair today?” Matt, wearing a rather formal suit, bowed in a mocking way “And what is up with this place?” “I was expecting more of a Greek style environment.” Kari answered “And you’ve time to do some expecting, I was zap here the second I opened the mail” Sora, in the same dress as Kari’s but in light blue, said after Kari.
Sitting across the room, a white hair girl about Kari’s age, wearing a rather eerie black dress (still Victorian) smiled at Kari “We haven’t met, have we? Hi, My name is Adela Stressamen, I’m from Germany.” “I almost forgot!! This is Hikari, My best friend Tai’s sister!” Matt replied Adela “Hi, Nice to meet you!”Kari said “By the way, how is Tai? We haven’t met since I moved to Osaka.” Matt asked “Oh he’s okay if you consider the fact that he has three more reports to do before he graduate.” “Is he... okay about me and Matt...?” Sora carefully ask “He’s...um...peachy...just peachy... except that he still bang his head on the wall after you chat with him over the net... and the occasional sleep talking, which drove our land lord mad, heh heh...he’s not okay.” “Oh...I’m sorry...” “Don’t be! I personally thinks he should move on...heh heh...Adela, hope we didn’t bore you too much.” “That’s okay! (I enjoy knowing your deep dark secrets.) “
The door of the room opens and a short and funny looking digimon strode in. He’s Hermesmon, vaccine type demi-god digimon, he’s about 3'4 with a oversized Greek helmet (you know, the one that has a brush on it) and a pair of squinting eyes. he has no body, so his arms (a pair of armor gloves) and his feet (armor sandals) float close to his head. With a rather humourous British English Hermesmon said to the Digi-destined “All has gathered, vary well. My lord Zeusmon awaits you all, follow me.” with that he turn around and starts to walk away, and the Digi-destined stumble to their feet to follow.
“Wait up, mon! Could you tell us more about this mission of yours?” Matt catch up to Hermesmon and asked. “And where’s our partner digimon?” “Every thing will be explained once my lord receives you all, do be patient, mortals” Hermesmon answered in a cocky attitude “What ever.” Matt replies to Hermesmon’s attitude.
With in a large red-wood door, an old man sitting in front of a big fire place with a lowered head, quietly thinking to himself. the room he’s sitting is a huge living room decorated with over-sized ancient civilization’s artifacts. The door slightly creaked then opened, and Hermesmon with the Digi-destined entered
The old man lift up his head and smiled “The storm gathers, but hope gather with it. Welcome, Chosen ones.” he stand and greet his guests, while Hermesmon bow low “Zeusmon is... Human!?” Kari startled at Zeusmon(yes, the old man, if you hadn’t figure it out) human appearance ”This is only a disguise, but my point of summoning you all here are not so you can be impress at my disguise. The world, both world is in grave danger.” Zeusmon slowly strode towards the big window in the room, the city lights decorated the window with reflections of a million colors “It’s been eternity since I’ve told anyone about this” he sign the Digi-destined to sit, they picked from a large variety of chairs and sofas and couches “And one more should fill the void” Zeusmon said softly. Suddenly, while the Digi-destined ponder the meaning of Zeusmon’s words a young men with messy heir and a toque (for friends of US, a beanie) fell from the ceiling”when!? what!? where?!” “Now that a familiar sight.”Kari said “That reminds me of the first time I went to the Digital world, always falling on my head” Adela said “Same here” Matt add “How did I get here!?” The guy ask “Did you read the email?” Hermesmon asked “Yeah, but I didn’t get it, little dude” the boy said “Mortals” Hermesmon sighed “Herman Duke Adams, from New York, isn’t it?” Zeusmon said “Yo, dude, how you know my name?” “It has been for told...” “Whoa...Deep, dude” “Is he a Digi-destined?” Sora Sighed.
“Now that all has gathered, my story begins...” Slowly, Zeusmon sits down on delicately decorated chair “It’s been a long time since my story, my mythology had been told. It was several thousand years ago, when great evil still reign upon the Digital World. One Digi-god, Kronosmon, conquered and united the Digital World. But his heart was black and his rule was cruel, under him all mon suffered. For thousands of years he ruled, and for thousands of years the Digital World lived in hell. But I, as his son, cannot stand and watch as he pillage the digital world. With My brothers, Poseidonmon and Hadesmon, we travel far and wide and call upon those who will fight for our cause.
But Kronosmon’s power is too great, my brother Hadesmon had given up and along with the Dark-gods Setmon and Lokimon as they betrayed the alliance of the gods. Eventually darkness failed and the justice won though their vigilance, and the alliance won the war of the gods. Darkness was thought to be forever locked behind the great gate of Tartarus, the deepest part of the Erebus, Underworld.
But the gate of Tartarus are no longer shut tight, the earth trembles with grieve, and the horror of Kronosmon is about to be unleashed... that is why you were summoned here.”
A moment of silent pass like thousands of years in the great room as the Digi-destined digest Zeusmon’s words “Are you saying that we, mortals, I quote, are going to fight against gods?” Matt broke the silence “I’m asking you to give your helping hands, but it’s in you to give.” Zeusmon answered “I guess we gonna have to... after all, we are the Digi-destined...by the way, where’s our digimon partners? Shouldn’t they hear about this too?” Sora said “Thus brings me to another point...” The sadness in Zeusmon’s voice send an eerie chill down to the everyone’s spines ”I’m afraid that you will have to fight with out their help...Alas! They’ve been tracked down by the dark forces.” “You mean they’re...” Kari did not dare to finish her sentence “Locked with in the dark gate of Tartarus, Hadesmon sees all. He knows my every move and he seek and destroy every last obstacle between him and the releasing of our evil father...I’m sorry...”
A great grief taken over the Digi-destined, Kari and Sora are already crying, Matt was in a state of shock and disbelief. Only Adela was calm enough to ask Zeusmon “And how do you propose that we, with our partners gone, defeat Gods of Digimons!?” “There is one last hope to defeat Hadesmon and his minions. To fight gods, one must have the power of gods. Each and every one of you are favor by a different Digi-god, by the power of the god each and every one of you can turn into a Digimon.”Zeusmon look sharply into the eyes of every one who gather in the room “It’s your choice now, to join this struggle for the survival of the Digital world. You are Digimon and human’s last hope, do you accept this responsibility?” “Do you even have to ask?” Matt stands up “We’ll accept. I do not know what peril lies in my path, but I will walk this path, for Gabumon...” “This is my struggle now, I’ll undertake this task!” Kari also stands up “They’ll know what is true suffering when I get my hands on them!” Adela glare at the window as if Hadesmon were standing there “What about you, child?” Zeusmon looked at Sora, she slowly lifted her head ”I never liked violence and I never will be, but who ever harm Biyomon will pay dearly for what they done!”
“So be it... You’re the Fellowship of the Gods. You’ve agree to undertake this mission, to go through darkness and sorrow, to risk your life to pain, torture, death, and eternal suffering so that many could be saved from Kronosmon’s terror. You’ll not fail your quest, you’ll not fail justice, you’ll not fail each other. You struggle and fight and possibly be killed, so that peace and justice may reign. The gods will guide your path, and illuminate your every step.
Have faith, my children, your Digimon partners may have fallen, but there is hope of saving them from eternal torture and pain in Erebus. This is the battle for the Digital World, for your digimons, for your lives, you are our survival’s last hope.” Zeusmon trembles with great excitement, then he calmed down “I would’ve gone with you all, but the digital world not longer believe in us, the age of mythology had passed, and our powers diminished. I would only get in the way...”Zeusmon sink into his chair, he looks like an old men finally surrender to father time. The room fell silent.
“Whoa... that is deep, dude.” Duke said “but what are you guys talking about?”
