Little did I know that a job interview would turn into something unforeseen. Nor did I expect that I would be taking Ryo Akiyama's place.

Little did I expect that a job interview for a new business would turn into something that nobody could have foreseen . Nor did I expect to be essentially taking the place of Ryo Akiyama. The real question is whether it is the 'Original DigiDestined' or the '02 DigiDestined'?

I don't know Millenniummon's plan behind this or if the DigiDestined are his only prisoners. But I have little doubt that any schemes the villains come up with won't be as foolish or obvious.

Crashing Arrival

☆-----☆

My name is Gabriel Campbell. My hair is a dark reddish copper with platinum highlights. My eyes are a deep amethyst that fade to a deep ultramarine at the edges. A soft sigh escaped as I slipped out of my car, mildly confused as this dirt road was unfamiliar.

My gaze shifts to the forearm bracer on my right forearm before flicking to the armored watch on the other wrist as I felt the thrum of energy through the replacement cybernetic arm.

My head tilts as I hear an odd humming before my gaze rises to see something I never expected… seconds before I hear the sharp crackling of electricity. A dark blue AtlurKabuterimon firing off a huge arc of bright crimson electricity in a Mega Blaster….. right at me!! In the flare, I notice its body pulsing with dark purple miasma as it Dark Digivolved.

My eyes widened as I saw the car detonate in a huge fireball, throwing me through a thorny bush and through thorny vines that shredded my clothes and drew blood. I was unconscious before I hit the ground.

When I came to, however, it was to a cooling sensation brushing over my skin as I realized my head was in someone's lap, fingers running through my hair.

"Poor dear, cut up so badly and burned, though where that chunk of metal came from through your forearm and opposite shoulder, I don't know," the soft female voice murmured.

I blinked at a softly purring voice that spoke. "It looks like something detonated, though other than burning chunks, there isn't much left," she commented.

My eyes flutter open before I blink at what I see: a butter furred mare with a long soft rose pink mane as well as a golden furred vixen. My head tilts as I gasp as my body is aching immensely.

My eyes widened slightly upon seeing her, noticing how her head tilts. "Damn… fan art, anime, and games far undershone your looks, Renamon. Speaking of, you're one of my personal favorite Digimon, though admittedly Lilymon and Angewomon aren't far behind… and a certain Demon Lord of Lust," I admit shyly. I notice her eyebrows rising upon the careful mention of the Demon Lord of Lust a.k.a Lillithmon.

"Wise not to mention their kind. They are not the kind that you would want the attention of," she remarked.

I blink as my watch pulsed rhythmically as if detecting something. Admittedly, the metal rail just above it is rather distracting. "Can you sever the part between my forearm and shoulder? I'm guessing that it's adrenaline keeping me from feeling the pain," I commented wryly. "Though it aches," I deadpan. A surge of light blinded me before I heard a feminine grunt of "Neko Tsume," before I blink upon feeling something fall into my lap. My eyebrows rise upon seeing the rail severed. What's standing over it, however, is more eye-catching and has a far too innocent look.

"Uh…. hello," she said haltingly, her voice soft with a hint of a purr.

My eyebrows rise in mild surprise. "You're not Hikari's Gatomon, are you?" My question made her eyes widen slightly before she hugged me tightly around my lower chest, which mildly confused me.

"H-hai," she murmured shyly and quietly.

My eyes narrow slightly as she jumped, blinking as she leaped to a nearby tree branch, hissing with a surprised look as my cybernetic arm clenched as I feel an intense heat and burning surge through my body as a soft groan escaped me as my fists clenched as smoky cinders, electricity, and tendrils of soft pink, pale green, and bluish purple light surge around my body as my fists relax before clenching again as heat erupts in a detonation around me as the cybernetic forearm and elbow explodes as a new human arm regenerates from cinders and arcs of crackling electricity. "Gatomon, tell me everything," I growl in a steely tone, ignoring the startled yelp from the butter furred mare and the wary look of the Kitsune Digimon.

Gatomon shivers at my tone, I notice. "Sorry, Gatomon. But I'm almost certain that you having escaped…. has something to do with that TyrantKabuterimon that blew up my car," he deadpanned.

"A what?" Gatomon and Renamon said in surprise.

"It was an AtlurKabuterimon, yet I saw it Dark Digivolve before passing out," I commented dryly.

I noticed out of the corner of my eye that they traded a look I couldn't guess the meaning of.

As we walked, my eyes scanned around cautiously before noticing a cottage disguised into the hill. My eyes narrow for a second before my ears twitch at a soft cracking huff before my arm swipes out, a crescent arc of heat causing the dual golden clouds of pollen to ignite in fireballs.

My eyes narrow slightly upon seeing the ruby eyed Floramon. Their 'hands' looked much like morning glory flowers.

My head tilts cautiously as one rears back a 'hand' before hurling a condensed ball of pollen that hit a bush nearby which ignited in dark red flames which made my eyebrows rise warily. My nose twitched at the stench of kerosene.

My fingers curl inward as I feel heat radiating from my core as cinders and smoke swirl as if alive around my fingers and hands, coiling up my forearms. I barely react to the oddity as I push off, my senses picking up on a literal needle of icy blackness as my vision inverted into infrared. My head tilts, noticing its location at the base of their skulls.

Perspective Shift - Abigail Fluttershy

I know I'm not the bravest of mares. Never was the strongest in magic nor physically, unlike Irida who managed to do a Sonic Rainboom. However, in terms of flexibility and control, I can more than hold my own. My head tilts as I notice his irises had shifted to an odd dull ruby with rhythmic pulses of pale orange. He blinked twice, shaking his head.

"They're being controlled by something. By what, I can't guess," he said softly as his fingers curled inward, the odd flows of cinders and smoke condensing into his palm before he snapped it up in an underarm throw. A thick 'shell' of cinder filled smoke erupted between the two plant Digimon before exploding in a noxious cloud.

My eyes widened slightly as he pushed off swiftly as I gagged at the sulfurous stench. I hear Angel Bunny yelp in shock as his body explodes into streamers of smoky cinders as a dark red fireball shoots through where his chest had been before his body reformed into flesh and blood. I gasped in surprise as he vaulted into the noxious cloud before I saw the outlines of the Floramon tossed back by twin kicks.

My head cocked as I saw the thick cloud dissipating before I see both Floramon pinned down on their fronts by swirling clouds of smoke and cinders.

"Smoke restraints. The control over their bodies is… ah," he said before he plucked a needle of what appeared to be black ice from the back of the Floramon's neck. I noticed Floramon shuddered before going limp for several seconds before her eyes opened to reveal greenish aquamarine irises. He repeated the same thing with the other, though its eyes were a surprising pale lavender.

"If Millenniummon is involved and he brought back Devimon… then Devimon definitely learned not to go with something as obvious as gears. Needles are far harder to detect, and on top of that, they can be found nearly everywhere. Tailors and seamstresses, medical facilities, casual homes," he sighed.

"How did you know about Millenniummon? I never said he was involved," Gatomon said suspiciously.

"Honestly? Where I come from, Digimon are characters in an animated series with movies and video games. Needless to say, seeing an AtlurKabuterimon with my own eyes was pretty damned shocking… much less for it to Dark Digivolve into TyrantKabuterimon before I passed out. But there is a trilogy of Digimon games that involve Millenniummon as the antagonist… and this feels eerily like the first game… though in that it was Millenniummon capturing the DigiDestined and petrifying them whilst resurrecting their most noticeable foes. Call it a gut feeling, but I rather doubt it'll just be Piedmon, Etemon, and Devimon only. And I wouldn't be surprised if ol' Devimon can hear through these Dark Needles," he commented before his hand tightened over the needles before a flare of pink erupted between his fingers before he opened his hand to reveal steam rising from his palm.

I notice the tears in Gatomon's eyes before I'm surprised as he crouches, hugging her firmly. From the look on her face, she didn't expect the hug either. "And if you feel useless, Gatomon… you're only useless if you do nothing to fight back. And I refuse to leave Taichi, Hikari, Yamato, Sora, or the others as Millenniummon's prisoners. You with me, mon amour?" he said softly.

"Besides, if I'm honest, Gatomon, you're far cuter than Agumon. True, Agumon and Gabumon were known as 'the faces' of the Digimon franchise… but I've always had a soft spot for two Digimon in particular… and both of them are right here," he commented with a small smirk.

I glanced back at Renamon, noticing her cheeks were slightly orange rather than yellow. A small smile crossed my face at that.
