Line #49 FanFic/Dimensions


1	From the demented mind of [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/531845/Blazing_Chaos Blazing Chaos]] comes a rather entertaining series. ''Dimensions'' follows on from the end of Anime/DigimonTamers [[spoiler:and later Anime/DigimonAdventure]] and covers the lives of our heroes as they grow up, going through terrible tragedy, destructive battles and the foibles of maturity, all the while trying to find the truth about this world they inhabit, the true nature of Digimon, and the true nature of those in their group who are not entirely as they seem. Can they trust newcomers? Is it right to kill? And what does the future hold in store for them, a future which has a strange way of getting in contact with them? [[spoiler:[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And what on earth]] [[RunningGag is up with the pebbles?]]]]

Takato and the other tamers decide to take advantage of the portal shown at the end of the SeasonFinale to bring back their partners. Of course, things are never that simple. Especially when odd things begin to happen around [[HearingVoices Takato]] [[GlowingEyes and]] [[NewSuperPower Rika]]...

5	The series is well-known for the extensive and elaborate mythology that is crafted and integrated into the normal Digimon series. While some might be discouraged by the inclusion of some of the more unusual plot elements, most find them very entertaining and actually make the story better.

36	* KidWithTheLeash: Takato has to act this way towards [[spoiler:Chaos]] most of the time.
37	* LightIsNotGood: Just like her counterpart, [[spoiler:Harmony]] is not straight forward. Some pretty bad things have been connected to her name, including [[spoiler:the kidnapping of young girls by a village of Renamon and [=DarkRenamon=] in order to reach the mega level]].
38	* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: When you add the tamers, their digimon, [[spoiler:the Digidestined, ''their'' partners]], the new {{OC}} tamers and partners, assorted parents, Monster Makers, and other important reoccuring humans and digimon, there is quite a population running around.
39	* MultinationalTeam: While most of the kids are from Japan, they later gain some members from [[spoiler:Great Britain and America]].
40	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Many of their problems can be traced back to an earlier action by the heroes.

51	* RetGone: [[spoiler:: Rey/Rei's most powerful ability, Final Destiny, does this.]]
52	* RunningGag: No, [[spoiler:Chaos]], the pebble is not the awesome.
53	* ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler:: Rey/Rei, as the Tenth Angel of Destiny, has the ability sense destiny's flow and, thus, alter it. At the low end of her powers she can alter anyone's luck for the better or worse. At the high end of her powers she can kill anyone by nullifying their destiny - effectively erasing them from existence.]]
54	* SevenDeadlySins: One of the Books revolves around the heroes facing [[spoiler:the Seven Demon Lords]].
55	* ShipperOnDeck: Takato and Rika strongly approve, and take active steps to promote, [[spoiler:Guilmon and Renamon]] as a couple.
56	* SociopathicHero: [[spoiler:Chaos. Murder is always his first solution for a problem ([[CrossesTheLineTwice including making himself "invisible]]), morality is never his biggest concern, and he claims that the only reason he hasn't destroyed all of existence yet is because [[RunningGag that would destroy the pebble]], his greatest creation]].
57	* TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: Partially averted. While most of the action takes place in Japan or the Digital World, they do take a trip to the BigApplesauce for a few interesting events.
58	* WeirdnessCensor: Very few people remember the fact that [[spoiler:the tamer universe and Digidestined universe ended up combining together]]. Anything that doesn't quite fit together properly is essentially forgotten or ignored by the general population.
59	** Except for the [[spoiler:Gods, Angels and Demons]] and anyone who happened to be [[spoiler: in contact with one of them]] or in an alternate universe at the time...
60	* WhamEpisode: The end of Book One. And Book Three. And Book Four. And Book Five. Actually, most books have some form of big twist near the end. Blazing Chaos seems to like these surprises.
61	** Chapter Thirty of Book Seven. [[spoiler:The Kabuki Village would've been wiped out without being able to digivolve (due to the light of digivolution being stored in Calumon) - the previous Priestess Sakuyamon would've died with no mega level heir to create the village's magical shield/invisibility cloak. The solution? Kidnap girls from the real world and force a biomerge. Oh dear. When the Tamers find out, Harmony isn't quite so complimentary of The Priestess' 'amazing plan'...]]
62	* WindsOfDestinyChange: [[spoiler:Ryder, the First Angel, has this as his ability, Retcon. Retcon rewinds time and allows to Ryder to pick an outcome that is better than what the original outcome was. All of Rey's/Rei's, the Tenth angel, abilities are this UpToEleven]]
