The Hope of New Beginnings [Closed/Ended]

There deep in the forest was the Village of Beginnings, a place where Digimon's called "Reset" after their death comes for them if they aren't consumed by other Digimon. In this place there was a young Mokumon who was not very old, maybe a couple of months at the best. However, in that time, he has seen many things that happened around the village. Friends he had made growing up, ready to leave the village but to him, there was always something preventing him from leaving.
What was this feeling that told him not to leave? Was it trying to tell him that he wasn't ready to leave yet? Perhaps it was a message from his past life trying to protect him? Those were all valid questions to ask as he stared up to the sky of the village. Wondering if he would ever grow to become a bigger, stronger Digimon. That question seemed more daunting with each friend that seemed to pass on and start their new lives outside of the village.
Despite his curiosity, he was alone Mokumon. His eyes stared up at the nighttime sky as all of these questions flooded his thoughts. He was away from most of the other baby Digimon, alone to consider all of these thoughts without interruption. It seemed not long after his mind grew blank, unsure what he was doing alone, looking up to the sky beyond the trees. Soon something was calling him, it was uncertain what was calling him but slowly he wandered off.
Wandering off slowly to the exit of the village, like something was calling out to him to go explore it. This feeling never seemed to leave him, it only got stronger as he grew closer to the exit. Perhaps now was his chance to leave and explore the Digital world or was there something or someone else he was drawn to?

In the forest not far from the Village of Beginnings a pair of digimon were laying near a campfire. One of them, a Gammamon named Grace, was sound asleep having worn herself out from their full day of travel. Meanwhile the other, a Gumdramon named Kshin, was not asleep as he had been feeling restless that night but didn't want to bother his friend's sleep. Sighing Kshin sat up and got to his feet deciding to take a walk. Maybe then he would be relaxed enough to sleep.
Walking away from the campsite, Kshin started walking in the direction of the Village of Beginnings. Why even he didn't know but he had a real big thought enter his mind as he drew closer to the village. His adopted father's Mandrake and Lothar, had recently had a new child in the form of a Jyarimon named Lilly. The fact he was now a big brother was mind blowing. Maybe that was one of the reasons for the last few nights of restlessness. It wasn't that he was afraid he'd be a bad brother, no, it was more the fact that the excitement hadn't worn off.
After walking for a while Kshin picked up the very faint sight of a tiny flame ahead. It wasn't likely to be a campfire seeing as it was not that far from the village. So driven by curiosity the young dragon pushed on soon catching sight of a baby digimon wondering around outside the village. This was dangerous as it seemed the little one wasn't with one of the village caretakers. Approaching the baby digimon carefully he said "Hey there little guy. What are you doing out here all alone?"

There was nothing to do but explore outside of the village finally! This was his first real chance to explore beyond the protected walls of it. Trying to see if he could learn how to be a big, strong Digimon like all of the friends that left him! Although he didn't understand the dangers that lay beyond the village. He knew that the caretakers always said to not leave unless you are ready. He was going to prove to everyone that left that he could handle himself out in the big, scary Digital world!
Slowly he would not believe what his eyes were telling him. A bigger Digimon was moving towards him? Was this the danger of leaving the village everyone mentioned? Was this small but bigger Digimon going to attack and take his data, even if it wasn't that much!? There inside of his chest, there was a pounding heartbeat. Was this the heat beat of someone scared?
The answer was yes! Quickly as Kshin grew closer the baby Digimon would scramble to try to get away from the scene. Quickly taking the chance to hide behind a rock that was just a little bit too small to conceal his entire form! Then those words came from Kshin's mouth, friendly words but maybe this was a ploy? A ploy to get him to be friendly then eat him later!
"Mo?" He replied, curiosity getting the better of himself as he raised from his hiding position. Not being more than maybe a couple of meters from Kshin. His big round eyes watching what he would do next, curious more than afraid at this point. Was he still a threat? If he was wouldn't he have already attacked and consumed him? Soon it seemed the baby Digimon would relax a little.
It seemed that this Baby Digimon was braver or perhaps just a little stupid out beyond the protection of the Village! It also seemed like he was not that big of a talker yet.

Kshin watched as the Mokumon scrambled away from him and tried to hide behind a nearby rock. It was understandable seeing as from the baby digimon's view Kshin was a giant by comparison but that didn't make the young Gumdramon feel any better. He didn't intend to frighten the poor kid like that.
Kshin remained where he was so as not to frighten the child anymore and watched as the Mokumon peaked out of its hiding place but was likely still very scared. Then an idea came to Kshin's mind as he slowly sat down on the ground giving him a somewhat smaller appearance and tucked his hammer tail behind him so as not to appear threatening in anyway before he said "It's okay, little guy. I'm not going to hurt you so you can come out when you're ready." Kshin rested his paws in his lap as his amber eyes stayed focused on the baby hoping he could convince the Mokumon to come out of hiding. "I know how scary it is to be outside of a place you know as safe." Kshin then said in a calm tone not knowing how much the baby understood. With digimon of that level it was always hard to tell as some could be wiser than they looked at first glance.

It was indeed the natural response the Mokumon had at any sign of trouble. Was to either flee or hide from a danger that was present! His heart was still beating a million miles per second he felt as his big eyes looked on Kshin more, curious as to what he was doing here but still staying a good distance away from him. Wondering what the next move was going to be.
Soon enough there was another move from Kshin, he moved to sit down to make himself smaller which seemed to work on easing the baby Digimon from freaking out as badly. The tail wasn't even on his mind as he looked at him more as he hid it away behind him. This makes the Flynt relax even more as he slowly decided to come from behind the rock he was hiding behind.
Moving ever closer to Kshin with those big eyes still staring at him curiously. Within a couple of steps the Mokumon would stop, looking around the forest they were in. It seemed like he spaced out all of a sudden, perhaps he was having a moment of hesitation? No, this was normal for Flynt to suddenly space out for no reason at all as his eyes seemed unfocused upon his surroundings, it seemed almost like he was glitching out slightly with how his eyes seemed like they lacked focus.
Perhaps this was normal for his species? It was unclear to anyone but one who was an expert in Digimon knowledge. Soon enough within at least thirty seconds, his focus came back in as he stared at Kshin once more, seeming to be the target he was going to learn about next. Slowly taking a few slow steps over to him, moving ever closer as Kshin would receive a single poke. Soon enough Flynt was running back behind the rock, curious what response he would get from Kshin after the poke!
However, it seemed like he wasn't fully scared of him at the moment, since he was so brave to attempt to poke him!

Kshin watched as the Mokumon seemed to be less afraid. It seemed making himself look smaller worked as the baby began coming out of hiding looking more curious than afraid which Kshin took as a good sign. Slowly but surely the Mokumon made his way to where Kshin was sitting with big eyes filled with curiosity instead of fear. Kshin remained still so as not to frighten him away. Then the little one stopped his gaze drifting away from Kshin and to the forest causing the young Gundramon to turn to look that way too. Nothing seemed to be there other than the tree line but it made sense that the unknown could have the baby's attention.
The attention didn't stay on the forest for long though as the Mokumon continued heading over to Kshin before poking the young dragon and darting away behind the rock again. Kshin giggled at how cute the little fella was in his efforts to interact but still made no sudden movements. "Did you like the feel of my fur, little guy?" Kshin asked with a gentle chuckle while smiling at Mokumon wondering what the kid would do next.

The way Kshin react was unexpected! Flynt would look at Kshin from the rock as he giggled, curious what made the poke funny. It was a simple poke to Kshin but the reaction made the Mokumon braver! He would get up from behind the rock once more. Quickly moving over to Kshin again as he gently pokes him again on the chest, curious to see if he would get a similar reaction. His eyes would narrow as he awaited the reaction from him.
"Mo? Like.....Like what you do!" There was this excitement in his voice as he spoke for the first time to Kshin. Perhaps he was breaking that shell that was around him finally? It seemed that he didn't mind Kshin's company now as he appeared to not be that scary. Sure he was bigger and has a nasty tail but he didn't seem to want to use it on him!
Soon Flynt would stare at Kshin more, getting this weird smile on his face as he would suddenly begin to move close to him. Without warning the Mokumon would circle Kshin, quickly jumping onto his back! Using what little strength he had to climb up to site on Kshin's head.
"Let's go, hammer friend!" He exclaimed as he pointed off in one direction. Unsure if Kshin could see what direction he was pointing but it didn't bother him. This guy was his ticket to exploring the entire Digital world as long as he sat on his head the entire time! If they were to find themselves in trouble he could make a smokescreen to hide their tracks as Kshin ran away, this seemed like a good idea!
"One day I will be as big and as powerful as you! Then I could carry you instead!" He would giggle himself, trying to be friendly now with Kshin.

The Mokumon then approached Kshin again poking him in the chest as it seemed he was no longer afraid of him. Then the baby spoke more than just part of the name of his species which surprised Kshin as not all baby digimon talked right from the start. Since the little one could talk it was obvious to Kshin that the Mokumon had understood what he was saying the whole time.
Kshin watched as the excited youngster approached him even closer while smiling before circling Kshin swiftly. Then before Kshin knew it the Mokumon had climbed onto his head. Yup, definitely wasn't afraid of Kshin anymore though when Kshin heard the words Let's go, hammer friend! "Wait, go? Go where?" Kshin asked clearly confused. Surely the village caretakers would be looking for this little guy soon and him running off with this baby may not be a good look. What if they got mad at him? "Are you sure it's okay to go away from the village, little guy? What about the caretakers? I don't want them to think I kidnapped you."

With a tilt of his head, he would think upon the words that were said to him. He might have forgotten that the caretakers of the village would most likely be looking for him since he had a bad habit of trying to leave the village. He would the point back towards the village!
"We can go back there! You are right Hammer Friend, we need to tell people you are not a bad kidnapper, you are the new Hammer Friend. I will go on an adventure with you so I can grow big like you and have a hammer tail like you1" He would state puffing out his body for no one to see. Forgetting he was sitting on Kshin's head. Soon enough his expression would turn to a frown.
"Maybe we can find them and once we do you can get permission to take me alone for a journey!" Flynt giggled as he began to ideal play with horns on top of Kshin's head. Gently poking them a couple of times with soft giggles curious if he would listen since he did bring up good points.
"I like big Hammer Friend, I like the name, will keep the name for you." He nods furiously, bumping into the top of Kshin's head even if he was a little bit confused about the situation! This would be the start of a friendship Flynt would figure out...If he ever got permission to leave the village with him! It would be sad to not be allowed to go with his new Hammer friend. Seeing the Digital world with such a nice person as him.
"Oh...Flynt, Flynt, Flynt!" He would exclaim loudly to Kshin. "Me, Flynt!" He would continue to nod once more bumping into Kshin's head like before! It seemed the little guy was growing rather attached to Kshin whether or not he wanted this. He would most likely follow him around for the seeable future!

Seemed that the little guy at some level understood Kshin's worry and was willing to head back to the village to ask for permission to go with him. Sure Kshin understood the want to explore but boy he was feeling a bit overwhelmed to be a babysitter. Boy he wished Grace was there to help him out and not back at the campsight sawing logs right now but surely he could handle something as simple as asking the caretakers permission to take this little one out for awhile, right. Getting up carefully, Kshin said "Okay, we'll go back to the village to ask the caretakers for permission. Last thing we need is for them to freak out not knowing where you are." The excited baby then began playing with his horns but it didn't bother Kshin one bit. He was just curious after all.
When his tiny passenger began bumping his head Kshin turned and began walking towards the village. It likely wouldn't be long before they came across one of the caretakers since the village was within sight of them. When the baby digimon introduced himself as Flynt, Kshin smiled and said "Nice to meet you, Flynt. My name is Kshin."

This was such a wonderful experience for Flynt! He was enjoying how nice Kshin was but to make him a babysitter was not his intention but that was fine ti seemed. Perhaps Kshin would not mind being a babysitter for the young Digimon as he giggled from upon his head. Wiggling a little bit as he point at the village, squinting slightly to see if he could find one of the caretakers!
"Ummmm, me can't see one of the caretakers...." He mentioned looking down at his new friend Kshin. Very upset now since he wanted to find one of them so he could permission to leave to go on an adventure with him! He started to make sad sounds almost like crying.
Perhaps this was all too much for Flynt? Perhaps this feeling was his past life telling him to go explore the world? Whatever this feeling was it was starting to overwhelm him to a great degree. Kshin would not see the painful look on his face since he was on top of his head but he could surely hear it. He seemed rather upset now at the fact he could not locate one of the caretakers.
"....Wah...Me bad....Me....just want to go!" He cried out trying not to upset himself any further from his mistake. It wasn't even a mistake! Something just told him that he was doing something wrong and was unable to find what he was searching for but maybe even with his crying, Kshin could find one of the caretakers.
What was going on? Was this new experience too much for the baby Digimon? Perhaps it was best that he was left behind in the village? There were too many questions for Flynt to know, it was all so confusing. All of these different emotions were flooding around his head. He stopped crying but now he was all puffed up. The expression on Flynt's face was that of pain, confusion, nervousness, and more. It was clear on his face what he wanted!
"Me....Me.......Don't feel...Me feel...Good? Me feel different...We need to find....them! Me....Just want to go on adventure with Hammer Friend!"

As Kshin walked into the village looking around he found it odd that he couldn't see any of the caretakers of the village doing various nightly duties or even any that were looking for Flynt. Then Flynt started to make sounds similar to crying leaving Kshin at a loss for what to do.
Reaching back Kshin gently took hold of Flynt noting how soft his wispy body felt before lifting the Mokumon settling him carefully in his arms. "Shh, it's okay Flynt. One of the caretakers has to be here somewhere. Don't cry." Kshin said in a soothing tone in an attempt to calm Flynt down. Fortunately Flynt soon stopped crying but judging from the look on his face the Mokumon was undergoing multiple emotions at once which was likely the reason why his next words regarding how he was feeling made Kshin come to the conclusion that Flynt didn't totally understand how to communicate how his feelings in this moment except for wanting to go on adventure.

At being held Flynt could only look back up to Kshin with this twisted expression written on his face. Soon he would begin to wiggle furiously out of Kshin's hold. Landing softly upon the ground as he looked up to him as the expression softened a little. It was odd that no one was looking for him but perhaps they were busy or maybe Flynt did this s often that they figured one day he would just wander off. With a soft coo, he nodded his head a little bit, unsure what Kshin meant by that fully. That was most likely due to the emotional strain he was under. Kshin could see the baby Digimon tensing up a couple of times as he looked to Kshin with a big smile on his face now, masking how he felt about the situation. "It's okay...Just....take me with you then Kshin..." He would smile brightly even if his emotions were in turmoil inside. Unsure what to make of them as he smiled brighter than he has before. Kshin probably stirred emotions in the baby Digimon that not only he knew he had. Was it some sort of primal call? Was this a nod back to his previous life, if he even had a previous life? It was unclear to both of them what this was but something was clear. There was a large amount of data building up for no reason at all. Was Flynt going to attack Kshin? That would be silly especially since Kshin was so much more powerful than him! It would seem that the data kept building up, circling the Mokumon. He didn't seem phased by it at all, it felt all-natural. Suddenly around Kshin, there would be some flames as the data caught fire, burning away as it was absorbed into Flynt's body. The flames didn't seem to harm Kshin at all. "Mokumon.....Digivolve.....To!" There was a pause as the data settled down and before the two of them, there was a new form. A living ball of fire with hands it seemed. He was big than before as he looked up to Kshin with a big smile on his face. It would seem that the emotions and the friendship he made just now were enough to drive Flynt to the next stage! "DemiMeramon!" He exclaimed as he floated around Kshin. This was a shock to both of them most likely, "Look at me, I digivolved! Kshin is still a friend, Flynt is also a friend to Kshin? I understand...I don't think we can find the caretakers but I am stronger now with help from a new friend...emotions told me to grow and I gave in...To be big like Kshin!" Current Level: In-Training |

Kshin became puzzled at Flynt's twisted expression as the Mokumon wiggled out of his gentle hold landing on the ground. Apparently Flynt didn't want to be held but Kshin didn't really know all that much about babies but at least he tried. When Flynt told Kshin to take him with him, Kshin seemed unsure as he asked "Are you sure, Flynt?" It was unsure to Kshin what emotions were stirring in Flynt at this moment but maybe he was outside the village by himself for a reason even if it was unclear to either of them at the time.
Then Kshin watched as data started to build up around Flynt before coming alive with flames that didn't seem to bother the Mokumon one bit. Next thing Kshin knew was Flynt had then digivolved into DemiMeramon right before his eyes. "I learned that emotions can sometimes spark a digivolution but I guess if we are careful it would be okay to leave the village. I have a campsite near here where my friend Grace is sleeping. She would be happy to meet you too, Flynt. So are you ready to go?"

Flynt's eyes would almost sparkle at those words that Kshin was talking about! Did he hear that he had a friend he was traveling with!? Perhaps this could get fun to meet this Grace person, Kshin seemed to be traveling with them for a reason. He would nod the best he could which was more like an entire body wiggle! This was something unexpected that happened that evening. Neither of them could have figured out that the emotions caused by the potential of being left behind could have sparked a digivolution in Flynt.
If anything Flynt seemed rather happy now that he was bigger and fast now than what he was. Lightly gibing Kshin a pat on the head as he smiled to him, eyes still sparkling with joy and new found freedom! This was the chance he had hoped for, a chance to leave and go exploring the Digital world! Even if he wasn't much stronger he did grow and at the rate, he was going he would be as powerful as Kshin in no time!
With no time to waste Flynt blasted off towards the edge of the village where he met Kshin for the first time. Wondering if he could find where this camp was located all by himself without any help! Most likely Kshin being an entire level above him would have no trouble catching up with him even knowing he was moving quickly. He wanted to find out who this Grace person was and wasn't going to let anything stop him! It would seem like Flynt was determined and it felt like nothing was going to let him forget his current mission was!
"Come on Kshin, keep up with me. I will find this camp of yours and once I do....I may be attacked....Huh, second though this is a bad idea...Oh well away!"
