Something changed.

Nearby, Adam Jackson and his three digimon, Koe the Koemon, Terry the Terriermon and Ace the wormmon were busy at work..well at play with baby digimon of Primary Village. Adam was wearing baggy cargo pants, a dark green wife beater and his bright red hooded trench coat with his guilds symbol of a tree with 3 crimson claw marks on the trunk on the back of the coat. He also wore sneakers, his digivice in his coat pocket, his crest of friendship around his neck. The Tamer and his trio were busy playing music for the baby digimon having them dance and bounce around for exercise. Adam was playing a smooth melody on a harmonica while Koe played along on a set of bongo's  and Terry played a set of castinets while Ace helped the babies dance.

While the group played, several of the digi-eggs hatched to the sound of the music, cribs appearing under them. While Adam danced and twirled around while playing the harmonica, he noticed a rather confused boy wandering around like he was lost. Adam stopped playing and slowly approached to the boy who looked like he was about to flip out.

"Hey, take it easy man. I know the trip can be a bit..disoranting. You must be a new arrival. Welcome to the digital world. More specifically, Primary Village also known as the village of beginnings. This is where the inhabitants of this world known as digimon are born. Most humans who get sucked into this world are brought here to meet their first partner digimon. Check your pockets. You should find a small electronic device. It's called a digivice. It will lead you to your digimon partner. Oh! I almost forgot, My name is Adam Jackson."

Adam then bowed and motioned towards the crowded area where the music was coming from and lots of different types of baby digimon were dancing.

"I'm sure you have tons of questions. I will gladly answer them all. I have been here for 11 years since I was five. Just do me a favor and take a deep breath and try not to freak out. It scares the babies and makes them cry."

Seeing his Tamer talking to someone new, Terry quickly trotted over and hopped onto his tamers shoulder, his long ears hanging down.

"Hiya new guy! I'm Terry!"

Adam then lightly tapped Terry on the head. 

"Now Terry we discussed this, let the new arrivals get through the freak out stage before you start in on them."

Terry nodded with a smile.

"Sorry Papa."

Terry then got off of his tamers shoulder and went over and began to play music again while dancing.

Adam sighed and scratched the back of his head. This was always so difficult. Adam decided to take it slower this go around as he picked up the baby Poyomon gently petting it softly. He then held it out for the tamer to take when he was ready.

"Digimon, it's short for digital monster. You are in their home world known as the digital world. Now follow me on this, I'll take it slow. That little device in your hand is known as a digivice. The digivice helps these little guys do something called digivolving. In simple terms it makes them change into a bigger and stronger form. You having a digivice means you are something called a Tamer and this little guy is your digimon."

Adam waited and watched the young boy to see if he was taking it better now that Adam had slowed down. Adam slowly reached his hand into his coat pocket and pulled out his digivice. His was longer and thinner and was a dark green color. It was a more advanced model. He gently held it up.

"I'm a tamer too."

Adam held out the poyomon again with a smile toward the young man.

"Say hello to your tamer little one. it's alright."

Adam slowly looked at the young man keeping his confident smile.

"Being chosen as a tamer is a great honor. It means you are destined for great things. This little guy here is going to be by your side the whole time. Isn't that right little one?"

Adam sighed as the boy began asking the harder questions. Questions in which Adam unfortunately did not have answers too. He just shrugged softly rolling back and forth on heels trying to think of what to tell the boy. After a few minutes Adam just decided to wing it.

"I will be completely honest with ya man, I don't have all the answers. See..the digital world and our world..It's like..a coin, yea a coin! Two sides, same coin. This world is the flipside to ours. As for what you are supposed to do now, that's up to you. Some, like me and my guild became protectors of this world. Some unfortunatly have been trying to destroy it. Most however just try to live and survive. As for who has brought us here, no one knows though I have the feeling that we are here for a reason, like we are the pieces to a bigger puzzle. I'm not really one to obsess over the big picture. I just try to help others and keep this world I found myself in safe."

Adam then patted the boys shoulder gently as if he was the boys mentor. He made a thinking face and just sighed after studying the boy.


"So, are you ready to learn a bit more about digimon? The basics at the very least?"


Adam couldn't help but feel a bit proud of himself. He for once felt smart and he liked it. He wondered if his friend Melody would be impressed. He just shrugged and waited for the boys answer. 

Adam's eyes went wide as the Poyomon began shaking and then digivolved into a Tokomon. Adam clapped happily once the process was done. Adam just held up his hands to have Harmen calm down. He placed his hand on Harmen's shoulder.

"Be calm man. You just witnessed digivolution first hand. Your little Poyomon just digivolved into a Tokomon. You see, there are six basic stages of digivolution. It goes like this, Baby, In-training, Rookie, Champion, ultimate and finally mega. Digivolution, to put it in simple terms, is an energy sharing process. The digimon uses it's energy while borrowing some of yours to reach the higher forms of digivolution. Rookie, once reached, becomes most digimons default form like with my three partners. My partners are able to reach the level of ultimate."

Adam couldn't help but get the warm fuzzies as the watched the new duo together. It was quite adorable really. It made him wonder if when Koe and he were first partnered up if they ever looked that cute. After a few moments of watching Adam cleared his throat.

"Digimon have to be tended to like human world pets. You gotta keep them healthy and fed or they will get sick or won't be able to digivolve. Oh, don't worry about your partner reaching champion or higher, after a threat passes or they run out of energy and go back to rookie or if they use up a ton of energy, in training. Oh before I forget. You have a name right Harmen? Why not give your partner one?"

Adam then gave a thumbs up to Harmen and his Tokomon.

"After you do that, i'll continue the lesson."

Adam tried to hide a tinge of sadness as Harmen mentioned his mother and her story about the angels. Adam let out a small chuckle because the next thing that came to his mind was the champion level digimon Angemon. Adam smiled but then cleared his throat as he got ready to talk about his least favorite subject about the digital world.

"Speaking of good and evil Harmen, It's sad to say but not all digimon are good. Be they digimon with evil tamers or just plain mean evil wild digimon it does happen. Some digimon are just savage and don't know any better while others do what they do because they see it as fun. Point is, you have to be on your.."

Adam was then cut off by a loud shrill scream of a baby leafmon as a mean looking Fangmon prowled into the village licking his lips hungrily asking who was afraid of the big bad wolf. Adam groaned and looked at Harmen.

"Speaking of, duty calls"

Adam then broke into a fast run and quickly sent a jump kick to the Fangmons face knocking him away from a group of baby digimon cribs. As the Fangmon staggered to his feet, Adam was joined by Koe,Terry and Ace who stood by Adam's side.

"I will tell you for certain we arn't Mutt. You came to the wrong village looking for a snack!"

Adam then smirked and ran at the fangmon again while his digivice glowed bright in his pocket causing his three digimon partners to be enveloped in green energy orbs while Adam put the fangmon in a headlock to distract him while his three partners digivolved.

"Koemon digivolve too!!...Apemon!
Terriermon digivolve too!!..Gargomon!"
"Wormmon digivolve too!!..Stingmon!"

The three orbs then shattered and revealed the three champion level digimon who soon rushed for their foe as Adam broke the headlock and kicked the foe towards his partners. Koe quickly grabbed the massive bone club off of his back and swung it upward to knock Fangmon into the air.

"Mega bone stick!

Gargomon then aimed his gun arms up at the Fangmon and began blasting him with energy bullets while Ace blasted him with energy needles.

"Gargo pellets!"
"Multi-moon shooter!"

When the fangmon landed, it stood up weakly reciving a glare from Adam.

"You are beaten, leave this place and never hunt here again!"

After a few moments the fangmon just weakly nodded and ran off. Once he was out of site, all three of Adam's partner digimon returned to their rookie stages as the baby digimon cheered causing them to blush. Adam just made his way back over to Harmen and Sed.

"Sorry about that. I have one final thing that is of grave importance. This is not a video game. The wild enemies you decide to kill do not respawn or at the very least have the smallest of chances of being reborn. See, a partnered up digimon like Sed,Koe,Terry or Ace will always be reborn if they fall in battle because of us..well..our digivices. It saves their data and sends it back here in the form of an egg. Point is..killing is bad. I know obvious..or at least it should be."

Adam was then greeted by the sounds of rumbling tummies and cries.

"It's lunch time for the babies, wanna help?"

Adam and his three digimon stretched after the battle before Adam smiled at Harmen and his partner proud of his quick victory. He then made a thinking face and rocked back and fourth on his heels looking at his three digimon who were desperatly trying to calm the hungry crying digimon by making goofy faces which were failing. A idea suddenly struck him.

"Oh I know! Distraction! We need a distraction! Why don't you tell the babies some fantastic human world story! To them the human world is the magical mysterious place, not the digital one. Make something up if you have too..just keep them busy!"

Adam then made his way into the giant mass of crying digimon and whistled loud using his fingers which caused the crying babies to go quiet suddenly while still sniffling as they looked up at Adam.

"It's okay little ones, our new friend Harmen is gonna tell you a story! He is gonna tell you a story about the mysterious and magical human world ooooo"

Adam made a ghostly moaning sound while wiggling his fingers to sell the idea which got the babies interested and focused on Harmen. Adam then ran over and joined his three partners and began to quickly make bottles of warm milk along with small bowls of what looked like kibble for baby digimon, giving the few digimon who were in their in-training level. As the group sneakily began passing out the food Adam made a motion to have Harmen start talking. If the babies caught Adam with the food he would get mobbed. Terry,being the thoughtful digi-toddler that he was got Sed an extra big bowl of the digi kibble sitting it in front of him and then giving the Tokomon a big hug before going back to work.

Adam and company quickly finished passing out the food and soon all of the baby digimon were passified and happy as they eat and slowly began to nod off. Adam and his three digimon let out a collective sigh as they slowly and quietly walked over to Harmen and Sed Careful not to disturb the sleeping babies.

"Follow me you two, I want to show you my little hide away in the village."

Adam and his trio then gently weaved through the crowd of sleeping digimon and began walking down a soft green colored street Toward a tall multicolored clock tower that looked like it was made out of a childs building blocks. Once they were far enough away from the babies Adam turned to Harmen and Sed.

"This is where I come when the digital world gets to be too much. I've been here a long time and now I lead a growing guild as well as help out here plus protecting many villages. Sometimes I just need to get away ya know?"

Adam smiled as they arrived at the base of the clock tower and opened it's plush door. Adam opened the door and he and his three digimon began walking up the winding stairs, stopping at the top where you could see out through the clocks face. Next to the hidden clock face door was a small freezer. Adam opened it up and pulled out six fudge popcicles, One for everyone. Adam then opened up the small door and sat on the edge to where you could see to the edge of the vast village. He passed out all of the ice cream as Terry sat in his lap, Koe sat on his left and Ace on his right. The four bit into their ice cream.

"Come sit you two. Enjoy the View and the Peace. Oh and the ice cream, defiantly the ice cream."

Adam then took off his coat and sat it behind him, the warrior seeming to melt into the child like teen that he actually was as his three partners and he enjoyed their frozen treats.

"If there is any lesson I can teach you about surviving here, one of the most important ones is this. Enjoy the little things. So Harmen, tell me about yourself."
