Digimon: Digital Ponies

Prologue: And so it Begins Part 2

Twilight groaned as she woke up and rubbed her face, before freezing when she felt something off about her hoof. Shakily, Twilight opens her eyes and stares at her new ‘paws’ when she remembered the feeling of her back legs missing. Looking around frantically, Twilight was relieved to see that she had her back legs again, before screaming when she noticed she changed like she had when she had gone to Sunset’s world the first time, but this time it was different. Instead of her pony-legs, she was shocked to see her back legs now were like little stubs, with a single claw on each. Her tail changed to look fox-like with the pink and purple interspaced up the length. Her perspective was also changed, or the world she was in was massive, she was about the size of a small dog.

Twilight waddled off from the spot where she had woken up to find a pool of water or a mirror so that she could see her reflection. What she did not realize was the fact that she was walking away from the spot where she had knocked out the young boy and herself. Said boy was currently still unconscious and she had not yet seen him. So she waddled off and finally came to a small pool that was close to a nearby stream. Looking into the pool, she was finally able to see what the rest of her looked like. She had a small round body which her fox-like tail was attached too. Her mouth had changed to where it looked like more of a w shape than anything else. She had a pair of big fox-like ears that appeared to be as tall as her new round body was if not a bit bigger. Although these allowed her to listen more readily to the noise around her, the ears were not that flexible. Her eyes had also changed to be slightly triangular in design with her purple pupils looking back at her from the pool. There were small red triangles above her eyes that were also below her ears that did look slightly cool. Her whole body still retained the purple coloration that her previous body did minus her tail which was ringed like a raccoon's. The darker stripes were a much darker purple than the rest of her. She also still had a small nub that was her horn right between her ears and small stubs for her wings.

What she did not know was that after knocking into the human child it had sapped more energy from her causing her to revert to Kudamon’s in training form. She was now a Kyaromon, albeit a purple variation of it. She stood staring down at her reflection for quite a while before the information that she’d changed finally kicked in and she proceeded to have her epic freakout due to having turned into a creature that made no sense to her. She was lucky that she had wandered off to the side of Primary Village and out of sight and hearing of the boy before she had her freakout. And while all this was going on events were proceeding back with the boy and the young little Petitmon.

The young boy was finally waking up again with a loud groan as he put his hands to his head. His head throbbed with pain from where the weird animal he had seen for just a moment had knocked into him. He kept his eyes closed for a few moments before he finally reopened them as she quietly whispered to himself, “Ugh. Just what kind of animal was that? It seemed to be in a panic of some sort, and it hit me without realizing it.” He looked around the area to see if he could spot the creature wondering if it had been knocked out as well. He frowned as he realized that it was nowhere in sight.

However, he did see a small black creature with tiny wings and a single clawed foot underneath it, coming his way by hopping into the air and then floating for short bursts through the air while flapping its small wings before it would go back down again. The creature seemed to be coming his way with a downcast look about it. It seemed to be continuously glancing back at the strange collection of buildings in the distance that he now realized he could see. He frowned and finally stood up from the ground and brushed his clothes off only to stop as his hands brushed against a device attached to either side of his pants. One of the Devices was the one from before he ended up in this strange place. But the other one appeared to be longer and more rectangular with a tiny square window at the top.

He looked at the devices in confusion for a moment before looking back at the little creature that was coming his way. He looked at his surroundings more thoroughly to see that he was at the edge of a vast forest. In the distance was the collection of buildings that looked a lot like a toddler’s play toys from blocks to other things. There was a stream running around bends and turns in the distance that seemed to be full of fish. He finally turned back to look at the approaching creature as he muttered to himself, “Just what kind of a place have you wound up in now Richard?”

The tiny creature we all know was Petitmon, moving along the trail, sniffing the air to keep in the strange Digimon's scent to follow it better. The Petitmon was so focused on this with its eyes closed that it had yet to see the human child it was rapidly approaching. Finally, it opened its eyes and froze as it softly settled on the ground and looked at the sight in front of it. The Petitmon let out a scared little, “Bah.” as it entirely saw the human. It looked up at the human child with wide, fearful eyes as the human looked down at it with a confused expression.

Richard was indeed confused as he looked down at the creature whose appearance defied physics and reality. “How is this possible. Its wings are too small actually to flutter the way it has, and it's only got a single clawed foot underneath its body that shouldn’t have enough strength actually to hop like that. Just what kind of creature is it and where am I?”, He muttered underneath his breath. He finally noticed that the creature was quivering with wide eyes. Like it was more afraid of him than anything else.

He slowly knelt down onto the ground as he held a hand out towards it curiously as he said, “Its okay little guy. My name’s Richard, and I’m a human. I won’t hurt you although I do wonder just what you are.”

The Petitmon watched Richard kneel down and reach out with his hand slowly. It still shivered with fear for a few moments before its curiosity started to come to the fore. It knew that this being before it was a human. Every young Digimon was taught what a human was and what they were like. All because of the ancient legends of the past about a group of human children who had fought against dark Digimon in the past and sealed them away. Petitmon continued to watch the human as it held its hand out.

Figuring that the human wasn’t going to hurt him, Petitmon moved over to the human with a small short hop and landed near the human’s hand. He sniffed the air around the human’s hand, and the smell he got back was one of someone who was kind and caring, who wanted to know more about the world and how things worked in it. The Petitmon looked up at Richard for a moment before closing his eyes and leaning forwards, so his forehead rested against Richard’s hand.

That touch was all the Petitmon needed to Digivolve into Babydmon. This in-training Digimon had a small wispy wind looking tail that was black but at the same time mostly see through. It would generally have had green wings and scales except on its belly, but instead, they were black with a red x on each side. The Digimon's eyes were still a pretty violet color, but its head was more draconic. It had two horns growing out the back of its head that would have been black with red tips but were green with blue tips. Thankfully its belly was still the same golden color as other Babydmon. It had no arms or legs to speak of though and was always floating in the air, and caused the white digivice to become a solid black color.

Richard stumbled back in surprise when the small creature evolved into a still little, but now bigger creature that looked similar to what Richard would have expected a sea dragon to look like. His shock increased moments later when he heard a high pitched scream come from the forest, followed by a loud roar. Unnoticed by both human or Digimon, the advanced looking Digivice started to glow.

Now by this time you all know what happened with the original DigiDestined. It all started with Tai waking up and meeting his partner Koromon and Izzy meeting his partner Montimon. And the two of them aided by their partners managed to run away from a big red bug Digimon was known as Kuwagamon. Kuwagamon was a champion level Digimon that had claws that could slice through trees like a hot knife through butter. What the two of them had failed to see in their haste to escape it, was another smaller Digimon who was frantically running through the forest looking for a place to hide and avoid it.

Tai and Izzy had ended up hiding inside a big hollow digital tree till the bug Digimon had flown off away from the area off towards another part of the island after having lost sight of what had angered it. The two of them then met up with the other children and things proceeded just like we all know they do except for asking if anyone had seen Richard, the American kid. It was at this point that the group saw a small Digimon being chased by the same Kuwagamon they had just escaped from. But as they saw the bug Digimon coming, they also saw two small figures clinging to its back for dear life. One was most definitely a human child like themselves, and the other appeared to be another small Digimon.

These two were of course none other than Richard and Babydmon who had hitched a ride on the back of the Kuwagamon after it had been chased off by a rather angry Elecmon who kept it away from his charges. The Kuwagamon had been looking for an easy meal, but it wasn’t going to get one thanks to the guardian of the village. As for how Richard and Babydmon ended up getting on Kuwagamon’s back, well that was an exciting thing in and of itself.

You see when Richard and Babydmon had rushed towards the source of the noise, they had gotten there in time to see the big red bug pick up and fly off with the small purple foxy Digimon. Richard was able to recognize it as the Digimon who had knocked him out earlier albeit in a different form. He didn’t know how it had changed, but he figured it was something similar to the small Digimon from earlier changing into its new form. They had watched the bug Digimon fly off into the distance and then out of sight but figured they couldn’t do anything to aid the poor small creature that had been carried off. This led the small Babydmon to end up depressed and sad that he couldn’t help out.

That was until Richard's second Digivice started glowing brightly, and a beam of purple light engulfed them, depositing them on the same bug Digimon back. The shock that something had landed on its back caused Kuwagamon to drop its meal. Angered by losing its food, the insect Digimon thrashed around inadvertently starting the sequence of events that led to our heroes in the predicament they were in.

The Kuwagamon screeched in anger as it flew towards the kids while trying to get whatever was clinging to its back off. The two had been hanging on since the bug got back to the Primary village and then been chased off by the Elecmon who had spotted it. They were lucky that Elecmon’s lightning attack had only hit the front of the Digimon and hadn’t been conductive enough to engulf the whole Digimon. So they were okay for the most part. But both Richard and Babydmon wanted off.

The destined children all ran away from the angry Digimon while one of them quickly picked up the small injured purple Digimon. They ran as fast and far as they could away from the upset bug as their partners hit it with their attacks albeit carefully, so they didn’t hit the figures on its back. Finally, the Kuwagamon ended up chasing them to the edge of the cliff we all know of and landed on the ground before vigorously shaking itself and dislodging Richard and Babydmon. They were sent flying to land on the ground and skidded to a stop by the other children.

Richard winced in pain as he slowly uncurled himself off the ground while poor Babydmon laid on the ground unconscious. He looked up at the other kids and quickly nodded to them before turning to face the big red bug while the small purple Digimon struggled out of Mimi’s arms. It landed on the ground and moved up with the other Digimon growling at the monster.

“I have had enough of you chasing me around and then tormenting these humans.” The purple Digimon shouted, but like before a subtle glow formed around Richard’s advanced digivice. The other in-training form Digimon moved up by the purple Digimon and replied in the affirmative, “Yeah. We won’t let you hurt our partners. Come on everybody let’s go” They all charged at the bug and ended up using their attacks again, but all it took was one swipe of the bug’s claw to knock them all back injured and almost out of energy again. Except for the purple Digimon, who managed to avoid the claw swipe, and kept peppering it with machine gun bursts of light from the stub on its forehead. Sadly it's assault too was ended, but instead of landing next to the others, it was almost knocked off the cliff, only thanks to the quick reaction of Richard that its fall was prevented.

Richard quickly pulled the purple Digimon away from the edge before setting it down again. He looked it over with concern, “Are you okay? It doesn’t look like you’ll be able to fight anymore. You should rest. We’ll figure out some way to take care of it.”

Twilight shook her head and resumed the stance with the other Digimon, “No. If I don’t stand up for my friends, then I wouldn’t even be worthy of the title of Princess of Friendship.” Unnoticed by all but one, all the Digivices started glowing as a hard screeching was heard, though it sounds more like a ringing than a yell.

A black storm cloud formed overhead before beams of light fell on each of the main DigiDestined Digimon partners. Sampson felt his advanced digivice glowing and picked the glowing thing up before his hand was covered in some digital glow. He frowned at it for a few seconds before he followed his instincts and slammed his fist to the top of the digivice while calling out, “Digisoul Charge!” A beam of light shot forth from the digivice and up into the air to connect with the black storm before another beam of light came down and engulfed the purple Digimon in a beam of light as well. Sampson didn’t know what she had meant by Princess of Friendship, but he knew it was important.

Thus the epic Digimon theme song we all know started to play as each of the Digimon began to change and Digivolve. First up was none other than Koromon who circled as the data entered his body, “Koromon Digivolve too…..Agumon” and this was of course preceded by the others.

“Tsunomon Digivolve too…...Gabumon!” The now wolfish Digimon said as he appeared in a flash of light.

“Tanemon Digivolve too…….Palmon!” The poison vine Digimon said as she splayed her arms.

“Bukamon Digivolve too…….Gomamon!” The seal Digimon said as he appeared with a determined expression.

“Tokomon Digivolve too……..Patamon!” The small orange Digimon replied as it appeared in a flash of light.

“Montimon Digivolve too……..Tentomon!” The now small red bug Digimon proudly said as he appeared.

“Yokomon Digivolve too……...Biyomon!” The pink bird Digimon declared as she appeared looking quite fierce.

“I don’t know know what you expected when you chose to pick on those weaker than yourself, but I’ll make sure you regret it,” Twilight shouted as the beam of light engulfed her. The instant it did, something unbelievable happened, the single beam turned into six, all colors of the rainbow. As if by instinct, Twilight shouted “Twilight Harmonize to…..” with that all six beams converged, evolving Twilight. “Salamon!” And with that Twilight Digivolved into Gatomon’s rookie form, somehow wholly bypassing standard evolution lines to end up as this holy Digimon. But instead of the usual white fur that a salmon has, she was of course purple. Her wings had disappeared, but her horn was longer now and no longer a stub. She was also floating in an intense purple glow while her eyes were a bright white.

All eight Digimon then charged forwards towards the bug Digimon with the other seven firing off their main signature attacks one after another which knocked it back somewhat. Then it was Twilight’s turn to fire off her own. “Sledge Crash!” She shouted, though instead of the normal attack, Twilight formed an impenetrable shell around herself and flung herself right into the Kuwagamon’s face.

The Kuwagamon moved back once more as it screeched in pain and irritation. It flailed its limbs wildly as it rolled around without direction. Agumon looked at the others and nodded, “All together now! Pepper Breath!”

Twilight had already cried out, “Sledge Crash!” Once again as an impenetrable shell formed around her yet as she sped towards the Kuwagamon.

“Spiral Twister!” Biyomon shouted as her attack charged up.

“Super Shocker!” Tentomon cried as electricity moved away from him to knock up behind Twilight while the Pepper Breath and Spiral Twister did as well. All the Digimon’ attacks knocked into her shell as she was propelled towards the Kuwagamon.

“Blue Blaster!” Gabumon cried as he fired his blue breath attack.

“Boom Bubble! Pah!” Patamon cried while floating in the air. He inflated his body and then let out the explosive blast of wind towards Twilight.

Gomamon charged up his attack which was for some reason a couple of fish that knocked up behind Twilight as well propelling her forwards some more.

Palmon moved her arms outwards as she called out, “Poison Ivy!” And her vines whipped out of her hands and lashed the back of Twilight’s shell launching her forwards with even more power and speed.

Twilight flew through the air with elements surrounding her shield and moving at high speed with a lot of power behind her. She slammed right into the Kuwagamon, denting its exoskeleton on its stomach before she bounced back and off. The Kuwagamon’s screeching increased for a moment before cutting off as the wind was knocked out of it. It fell to its back wheezing for a moment and in pain from the attacks.

The children all cheered as they saw the Kuwagamon down on the ground thinking that it was out for the count. Their Digimon rushed to them, and they cheered as they hugged their Digimon and put their hands in the air in victory. The Babydmon had finally come back around and was now floating quietly and nervously near Richard who looked at it curiously for a moment before turning back to Twilight who had come back over to him, “Nice job. You sure packed a punch when you slammed into him. I think he’s down for the count, but I do have to ask, What kind of creature are you?” Richard asked, as even the other Digimon were curious; Even Tentomon, The digital encyclopedia, was confused.

While the Digimon looked for all intents and purposes like a Salomon, and before that a Kyromon, Tentomon had never seen any Digimon Jump Digivolution like that. Also, she didn’t Digivolve the same way. So many questions were rattling around Tentomon head that by the time he noticed that the Kuwagamon had gotten back up, it was already too late, as the Bug Digimon had already cut the cliff face away from the rest of the land.

All of the children hurtled down towards the raging river below screaming, Believing they were all going to drown and die. And the angry Kuwagamon was falling right behind them with its significant form looming above them. And so the children plunged towards the river below.
