//------------------------------// // The Tip of the Digital Iceberg // Story: My little Pony: Friendship is Digital (OUTDATED) // by DarklordAxel20 //------------------------------// Last time in the story, " I'm A digimon, a digital monster!! Cue Digimon theme song At the Library with Twilight, Spike and the newly digivolved Motimon. "Y...You you..changed?!! but how?! this is impossible?! " having just witnessed the metamorphosis, Twilight had began to panic not knowing what happened. "I've..I've never heard of this happening before and you spoke.. wait you spoke.., " she quickly grabbed a piece of paper and a quill with her magic, "Alright I want you to tell me just who and what are you, what were those eggs? ". The newly changed monster took a minute to think then opened its mouth to answer. "OK then, ahem My name is Motimon I am a digimon, or as some call us a digital monster, those eggs you and your friends brought home were me and my friends, " the digimon began to explain to her how he changed or as he called it " digivolved". "For how I changed it's simple, it took two factors for a digimon such as myself and my friends to digivolve ". "And that factor would be?!? " twilight asked almost very impatiently, "Oops sorry just a bit excited, " she said as sweat ran down her forehead. "It's understandable miss sparkle, I myself would be excited upon meeting something I've never seen before, " he stated. He squirmed his way closer to her, "As I was saying the factors that made me digivolve was the energy the food you gave me supplied me with, and the friendship you gave me, you see certain digimon require different factors to digivolve but most baby digimon only need a strong bond to digivolve, " he looked at her making sure she was getting all of this. Twilight looked at him for a minute then realized something, this strange creature that she had never met in her life knew who she was, "[Wait a second how the hay do you know my name you only just met me, and how did we build a strong bond over a an hour or two ". There were so many many questions going on in her head that it confused even Twilight, luckily her new friend was willing to answer all of them. He cleared his nonexistent throat and started pacing back and forth as if he were a teacher giving a lesson, "Those can easily be answered Twilight, for starters how I know your name, well we were destined to meet I was sent here with my friends to meet your friends..although I don't know why, and as for the bond it may have been a few hours that you remember but the whole time I sat next to you in my egg on your bed I began to develop a strong bond, I could feel a strong sense of friendship deep inside you and I slowly took it in and that's what started this bond ". The more Motimon explained the more understanding Twilight became of the scenario, although one thing still stayed in her thoughts as the tiny pink being spoke, what did he mean by " we were destined to meet", these words confused her. The more Motimon spoke the more Twilight couldn't help but stare at him, " and thats where a digi-egg comes from.. hey were you listening?!," whined Motimon. Twilight shook her head to regain her focus before nodding, "Y..yes I'm listening , sorry I just couldn't help but stare your so..intriguing, "gasp" I wonder what the other's eggs hatched and digivolved into! " she scooped up her pink companion with her magic placing him on her head and she rushes out the door leaving poor spike still unconscious on the floor. Meanwhile at Rarity's boutique Rarity took a moment to compose herself, having experienced a great deal of shock from the sudden transformation. After taking a few deep breaths she looked at the bouncing pink creature and spoke in an ever so polite tone not wanting to offend the new creature, "Pardon my confusion but a digi-what? I don't believe I've ever heard of such a creature..although you are simply adorable, I have never seen or heard of anything like you, " said Rarity trying to remain calm so not to startle the creature. "I said..., " the creature took a breathe, "My names Koromon and I'm..a Digimon! or as some people say digital monsters but I prefer Digimon It's a lot easier to say, " Koromon said in a very excited tone, reminding Rarity of a certain pink earth pony. The pink ball shaped creature went to go back to gorging himself on cat food but before he was able to get even a nibble he was levitated onto the kitchen counter which left him with a pouting face like a filly or foal who just got their favorite toy taken away. She couldn't help but smile at the face he was making because it reminded her of the face Sweetie Belle made when she didn't get her way, but before the adorable face could fully distract her she shook her head to regain her focus, "Now hold on a minute young..monster, um what exactly is a digimon? " she asked in a very confused tone. "Well..It's what I am but that's as much as I know to be honest if you want to know more you could try asking my friend Motimon I know he got sent here with me but I don't know where, " he said in a disappointed tone before instantly brightening up, "I do know one thing...I'm starving, so Rarity could I please have some more food, " begged Koromon. Rarity could almost facehoof at the answer he gave, it not being much help and all, "Now hold on just one moment mister, I'll feed you after one question, how in Equestria do you know my name I know I'm well known around Ponyville but you were only hatched just this morning, you are still that baby aren't you, " she slowly questioned him before awaiting an answer. "Of course I'm still me who else would I be, I mean I only digivolved, I mean It's no big deal..and if you don't know what digivolving is then that's an easy one that even I could answer, " answered Koromon as he continued to bounce up and down. His answer only left Rarity waiting for what he meant, but she knew she wasn't getting anything out of the childish creature unless he was fed so she gave in and placed a bowl of assorted foods in front of him not knowing what the pink ball ate, not that it mattered cause he ate it all in just a few bites, "Wow that was good thank you Rarity, " he said with a big smile that stretched across his whole body. "OK I'll answer aaany question you got, starting with how i know who you are, " he began his explanation. "Well It's simple...we were destined to meet yep yep that's true I don't know why but that's how I know who you are, that and some of the customers today said your name, and on the matter of digivolving, it means I got bigger and stronger thanks to the love and friendship you've shown me along with the energy the food gave me, " he answered in what to her sounded like the happiest voice tone she had ever heard from anypony. It didn't take much time for her to comprehend the meaning of everything he was saying, "You mean it was my caring and friendship that made you change, " he moved his whole body up and down to nod to her question. "My you certainly are a fascinating little monster aren't you I guess I made a good choice picking you who knows what else laid inside of those other eggs ". "Other eggs?....oh you must mean my friends, they came here with me," he happily answered, " Can we go and see if we can find them please Rarity, " begged Koromon, he even made the cutest puppy dog eyes to go along with his begging. Being unable to resist the adorable look he was giving her she lifted him onto her back and set off to find them, "But you need to be careful I won't have you getting dirty if your staying with me you should at least have a little class, " she said as they went on their way. At Fluttershy's cottage right after Punimon digivolved into Tsunomon Fluttershy couldn't help but stare at the marvel that happened before her eyes, it was like a filly or foal witnessing a butterfly hatching from its cocoon for the first time, "What's the matter Fluttershy you look like you just saw a ghost, " he began to speak to her which surprised her even further. "Is there something on me?! oh no get it off get it off!!! " he began to comically squirm around in circles panicking for no good reason. His cries were enough to snap Fluttershy out of her trance like state. Her loving instincts took over as she lifted the screaming creature into her hooves and rocked him back and forth to calm him down, in her naturally soft voice she began to speak to him, "It's OK little one there's nothing on you, so there's no need to be afraid, besides I'm here for you so even if there was something nasty or scary on you I wouldn't let it hurt you, " she acted as brave as can be to help consul he frightened creature. "Um...o..one question what are you, " was all she could get out. A big smile came to the once frightened creatures face, "I'm Tsunomon a digimon, and It's because of you that I was able to digivolve, " he stated happily although this confused her further. "Um...excuse me but whats a digimon I've never heard of an animal like that before and i know almost all the animals in the Everfree Forest, " she said still not getting it. He took a deep breath and then spoke, "It means digital monster, " the word monster however, only made her frightened. "Hey it's OK I wont hurt you Fluttershy most of us are really nice in fact I got sent here with some friends I'm sure you'd love to meet, " Fluttershy however knew what he was talking about but at the moment like her friends before her, she was curious as to how this little creature who was no more than a day old to her understanding knows who she is when she hasn't had her name said all day. She gulped and took a deep breath to keep her composure, "Y...you know who I am?? " "Of course I do we're destined partners after all, that's how you knew to take my egg, " he looked up at her, "that's also how I digivolved, it was your kind heart and love that allowed me to change well that and the yummy food you gave me, " he said keeping the big grin on him. Fluttershy smiled at his words and giggled at the part about food before heading to the door with him. "Let's go find your friends I bet their really worried about you, " she hadn't really understood what he meant by her love made him grow but a part of her told her that keeping and helping the little horned creature was the right thing to do. With Tsunomon giving a nod of agreement they were out and about on their way to find his friends. At Sugar Cube Corner a very happy Pinkie Pie and a very Happy kokomon bounced around one another greeting each other over and over. "Ohmygoshohmygosh!!! you are so much cuter than before and look you jump higher!! " she squealed in excitement. With a long pause and a loud gasp she realized that she was talking to a new resident of Ponyville, "I almost forgot!! Welcome to Ponyville!! I'm gonna throw you the beeeeeeeest party..EVER!!, " but before she could sprint off to start planning she was stopped by her bouncing companion. He had bounced in front of her to stop her in her tracks, "WAIT!!!!, " it squealed in its high pitch voice, "WE can't throw a party yet I gotta find my friends they're here somewhere too ". His pleas did not go unheard as she looked at him with a rather goofy but understanding face, then her face turned into slight confusion, "Saaaay...whats's your name cause before you didn't tell me, Ooo oo I bet its something cool like nitro or rex or- " her ranting was cut short by his answer. "I'm Kokomon!!! " he said in a loud gleeful voice as he continued to bounce about, his name alone was enough to cause her to let out another loud gasp. She seemed to bounce faster upon hearing his name, "Your name has koko in it!!!!! Doyoutastelikechocolateyoulooklikechocolateibetyoudoletstestitrightnow!!! " She said speaking at an alarming rate which didn't seem to bother her bouncing buddy. She took it upon herself to lick her new friend to test her theory though he didn't taste like chocolate it did make kokomon giggle and laugh. "Hmm you don't taste like chocolate but you don't taste bad either....oh well, " she simply shrugged the thought off before letting her companion bounce onto her head before bouncing themselves downstairs and into Ponyville, "Let's find your friends my little digi-buddy, " and with that they were off. Inside Applejacks house at Sweet Apple Acres. Both Applejack's and Applebloom's mouth hung open wide at what they just witnessed, the little purple furball had changed into what looked like a blue cat rolled into a ball. "Now what in tarnation just happened, Applebloom get back we don't know if this critter is dangerous or not, " she said as she defensively raised her hoof in front of her younger sister. She noticed this action brought a sad look to the kittens face. "There's no reason to be scared I'm yer friend Applejack you hatched me yerself, " the young creature sounded as if it were mimicking Applejack's accent. It's tiny voice made Applebloom saw aw and brought a small apologetic smile to Applejack's face. "See I'm just a friendly little kitten but you can call me Wanyamon, I'm a digimon, " he started to explain but was cut off by a question. "What the hay is a digimon? sounds like a word Twilight would make up, say what's a digimon youngin, care explaining," Applebloom nodded wanting an explanation as well. Wanyamon licked the bowl the applesauce once sat in then began to speak, "Digimon are super strong digital monsters like me, some of us are heroes, while some of us are baddies who are downright no good, but don't ya worry about me, me and all mah friends are good guys, " he said with much pride in his voice. Applejack just laughed at how proud he sounded of himself with her knowing that feeling herself. " Say what's so funny was it somethin I said, hey I'm not lyin I always tell tha truth It's DemiVeemon who fibs all tha time, Yep I'm as honest as can be one hundred percent of the time, " he stated with even more pride in his voice. Applejack just let out a few more chuckles at the little ones misunderstanding of her laughing , "Now now hold yer horses I wasn't accusin yah of nothin just laughin cause in a way you remind me of mahself always proud to be helpin ma friends and always tellin the honest to Celestia truth ". "Yeah my sister's the most honest pony in all of Ponyville she'd never lie even if her life depended on it, just ask anypony in town, " added Applebloom. The sisters got curious again wondering how he changed but before they could ask he started looking around as if he had lost something. "whatchya lookin for little feller,whatever it is I can always help ya find it, " Applejack offered to the small feline. He responded with this, "It's not what I'm lookin fer, It's who I'm lookin fer, Yah see I came here with five friends, I don't know why we were sent here but we were, can yah help, " he didn't need to beg because Applejack knew what he was looking for. She knew he meant the other five eggs. "Yah wouldn't happen to be referrin to a bunch of eggs would yah, " she noticed how big his eyes got when she brought the eggs up, that's where she got her answer. "I know just the ponies to look fer then cmon then and we'll find yer pals and maybe I can get an explanation as to what the hay have I seen today, cause to tell the truth...I'm downright confused, " they shared a chuckle before Wanyamon hopped onto her back. "yah safe and tight back there? " with a nod for conformation they were off to find Wanyamon's friends. Right underneath Rainbow Dash's cloud. Rainbow Dash's reaction was similar to Pinkie's as it wasn't shock as much as it was excitement, she picked up the little blue lizard and stared at it with a big smile on her face, "That is so cool!, you like all changed and stuff, look you even got legs now, now your really ready for some speed, " she continued to look the creature over before her curiosity got the best of her and she asked the little lizard a question, "Saaaaay, whats your name little guy, " asked Rainbow dash , not really expecting to get an actual answer from the baby creature, but the real shocker to her was that it actually answered her. In a squeaky voice it spoke its name and what it was, "My names DemiVeemon and I'm a digimon, in fact I'm the coolest of all the digimon, " it bragged. For some reason this little monster reminded her of a younger version of herself, "But from what your heart has told me no ones cooler than you rainbow dash, and before you ask how I know your name let me answer you ". She liked this little thing he went straight to the point, "I know you cause your heart told me who you were and it wasn't wrong, you were so awesome saving me from that big bird cat, the awesomest infact! " seemed like Rainbow Dash had a natural born fan. She smiled at his innocence and his words, "That's cute kid your not half bad yourself, " these words brought great joy to the freshly digivolved DemiVeemon, "Your lucky it was me who picked you out cause I'm gonna teach you how to be awesome, not that your not awesome enough but you can never be TOO awesome, " then she pondered his other words, her heart helped him hatch and change, "Hey um DemiVeemon was it? what you said about my heart making you like this...did it really?? " she asked in a bemused matter. The little digimon nodded, "One last thing..what's a digimon? " DemiVeemon seemed especially excited to answer this question, "Digimon are only the coolest things there are our name means digital monster, " stated the little blue monster. "We're the coolest monsters there are and the toughest too, you thought I was cool now wait till I digivolve again or wait till we find my friends and we'll all digivolve now that will be awesome!! " however his words brought more confusion to Rainbow Dash. "Wait you mean you and your friends can change again...THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!! " she shouted in excitement. "Well come on then I'm sure old egghead has already gathered the others lets beat them there!, " she put him on her back and made sure he was hanging on tight before taking off leaving a long rainbow trail behind her that quickly dissipated the further she got. In the center of Ponyville as all 6 teams were arriving, not all was what it seemed. As soon all 12 of them neared the center of Ponyville a fire caught their attention but it was no natural fire, cause thee was too much panic coming from the spot for one little fire. The main six eventually met up but before hellos could be said they got a good look at what everyone was running from. A tall red reptile that anyone could mistake for a dinosaur, was making a mess of Ponyville. Right as Twilight was about to ask what the creature in question was all six in-training digimon hopped off their pony friends backs and rushed forward, "It's a Tyrannomon, every stay back we got this!!, " said Motimon as he and the others charged forward feeling that their friend's lives were in danger. And right as they were about 10 feet away from the rampaging digimon all 6 of them began to glow. What they were about to see left all but Twilight awestruck, "Girls...I think we've only hit the tip of the iceberg in understanding whats going on ".
