Fanfic / Heroes of the Digital World

Heroes of the Digital World is a Digimon series by Miss Anonymous hp. It is a cross over between the Adventure and Tamer series. The stories are influenced by The Heroes of Olympus series. The series starts out with Takato waking up in the Adventure digital world with no memory of who is. He embarks on a journey with the digidestined in hopes of finding out who his, as well as the dark force that is causing problems in the digital world.

Note that the series uses the English dub names.

The Lost Tamer: Even before Takato was electrocuted, he was having a crummy day. It all started when he woke up with no memory, in a strange place, and surrounded by a group of kids known as the digidestined looking for somebody named TK. Now he, Guilmon, and five worried kids must set out to find out what exactly is going on… and why

Tamer of Hope: This whole situation was really starting to get to TK. He'd hardly slept or eaten; he'd nearly died more times than he could count. He'd only survived this long thanks to Patamon - the only detail he could remember about his life. And now he'd run into a group called the Tamers who had answers, but they weren't talking... even when the fate of the world was at stake.

Note that spoliers in the generals folder will be unmarked. Any sequel story will have spoilers from pervious stories unmarked.

This fanfiction series provides examples of:

In General

• Alternate Universe: In-Universe example. Both the Adventure and Tamer worlds exist as do both of their Digiworlds.
• Amnesiac Hero: Both Takato and Guilmon, and TK and Patamon start out as this in their stories. The only thing they know are their names. Guilmon does seem to have some memory of Takato. TK on the other hand has some vague memory of Patamon and of Kari as well.
  • Takato and Guilmon regain their memories by the end of Lost Tamer.
• Big Bad: Huanglongmon for the entire series.
• Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Gennai’s exchange of TK and Patamon with Takato and Guilmon carries a heavy risk as it could destroy everything in the long run. Which just says how desperate the situation is.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: Quite a few of the characters have this going for them.
• Love Hurts:
  • Kari had just started dating TK before he disappeared. With him gone she has felt distraught since.
  • As revealed in The Tamer of Hope, Jeri has had feelings for Takato for years, but thought he didn't return her feelings. She was very happy to be proven wrong... but Takato goes missing the same day he and Jeri were supposed to go on their first date which naturally depresses her.
• Resurrective Immortality: The digimon that are destroyed don’t stay that way for long. They’ll start to reconfigure almost immediately.
• Seven Deadly Sins: The Seven Great Demon Lords all being the embodiments of the seven sins, are also dragons to Huanglongmon
• Unique Protagonist Asset:
  • Takato is able to power up Guilmon with his cards and then there is biomerging with Guilmon. The later has a serious draw back as it nearly kills him as it’s not compatible with the Adventure world.
  • Patamon being able to digivolve into a celestial digimon is unique as no digimon has been able to do it in the Tamer world. What advantage this will give him is yet to be seen.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Huanglongmon was once a hero who, when the digital world and the dark world where threating to destroy one another, became the core for both worlds to balance light and dark. However, as more worlds were created, he had to become the core for them as well. Overtime in his deep slumber he grew mad from the isolation and now simply seeks to awaken and be free. Even if that means the destruction of everything.

• Loophole Abuse: Datamon made it so that digidestined digimon couldn’t digivolve in his mansion. Takato is a tamer, so Guilmon has no problem digivolving.

• Misplaced Retribution: Caturamon says that Bailhumon would destroy Davis and Veemon for being holders of the digiegg of friendship just because the power was used to create Thunderbirdmon. Something that is offense to him as the orb for it was stolen. Something that they had nothing to do with in any way.
• My Master, Right or Wrong:
  • Averted with Bailhumon, his master has ordered that Takato and Guilmon have to be destroyed but because of Yolei and Ken’s presence (due to being the creator of the crest of Kindness and Sincerity) that he hears Takato out. Upon seeing Takato’s D=Power he decides to let them go as not to interfere with Gennai’s grand plan.

    • Their deva, Vajramon, however disagrees and fights to defend the kids.
• Next Tier Power-Up: When all hope seems lost and Barbamon is about to kill Takato, Davis throws himself in front of Takato to try and save him.

• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Vajramon decides to defend the digidestined from Ebonwumon even Ebonwumon’s own master is saying to kill them.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When they see Gorillamon beginning to reform after being destroyed and figuring out that the other two digimon with him will as well, the group decide to get out of there as fast as possible.
• Shout-Out:
  • Upon seeing that the new caretaker for Primary Village is a Bearmon, Davis swears he hasn’t been sleeping in his bed and Veemon says he hasn’t been eating his porridge. A little nod to Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
  • When the group get to Ebonwumon’s home they are led through a labyrinth by Vajramon, a half-man half bull digimon. This is a shout out to Minoan mythology of the minotaur and the labyrinth that was its prison.

• Stern Chase: Nearly half of the story has the younger digidestined trying to find Gennai by following any lead on Thunderbirdmon.
• Take Me Instead: After Barbamon kidnaps Tai, Kari begs him to let her brother and TK go and to take her instead. Barbamon just laughs and says there wouldn’t be any fun in it.

• There Are No Coincidences: The group talks about how there is too much going on for all of it to be a case of Contrived Coincidence.
• This Can Not Be:
  • Sirenmon lets one of these out after Kari is able to snap the boys out of her enchanment.
  • Datamon is surprised when Guilmon is able to digivolve despite his restrictions. Turns he only put the restrictions on digidestined digimon.
• To Serve Man: Orochimon still wants milkshakes and is going to use Kari, Yolei, Ken and Takato to make them. Oh, Guilmon as well.
• Trap Is the Only Option: When Kari tells the group what Barbamon has been forcing her to do they know they still have to go if they want to save Tai.
• Trapped in TV Land: When Takato gets some vague memories back he thinks momentary that he is stuck in a tv show. However, everything just feels too real to be some show.
• Uncanny Atmosphere: Some of the characters feel that there is something off about Takato and Guilmon. Like they don’t belong.

  • Likewise, Takato has the same feelings about everything around him.

• Underestimating Badassery: When Takato tells Datamon he is not a digidestined, the latter assumes he and Growlmon won’t be much of a threat.

  • Homeostasis tells Kari that Gennai is missing.
  • Several lines in chapter twenty-two reveal to the reader that the Orochimon, Dokugumon, and Gorillamon the gang run into are old enemies from the Tamer world. Which means they are also Back from the Dead.
• Wham Shot: After they had just destroyed three digimon that should have been the end of the battle, but then the gang begin to see Gorillamon begin to reform.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Gennai gets a lot of flak for his actions. The exchange of Takato and TK just seemed to cause the digidestined problems and distress.
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: AeroVeedramon ask why they don’t just destroy Belphemon before he awakes up. Gennai says the darkness of the area is acting as a barrier.
• You Are Not Alone: Davis is quick to bring Takato into the group saying that as a digidestined he is one of them. Even though Takato isn’t one but shush, he doesn’t need to know that.

Tamer of Hope

• Ascended Extra: Hanaharu is a character from the show but was a minor no named one. Here he is the recent promoted director of Hypnos and is rather antagonistic.
• Back from the Dead: The Vilemon that have been chasing Tk and Patamon are from those among those who were sucked into MagnaAngemon’s Gate of Destiny.
• Better to Die than Be Killed: Patamon points out that jumping off a cliff would probably be better than getting torn up by the Vilemon. Which disturbs TK a little but then he takes him up on it and does jump but gets Patamon to digivolve saving them both momentary.
• Big Brother Instinct: Henry would rather die that let his sister get involved in the fighting.
• Big Brother Is Watching: Hypnos’s original purpose was to monitor electronic communication for any threats.
• Blackmail: Hanaharu tries to get Riley to be on his side by saying he could keep Yamaki from taking the blame for everything that has gone wrong.
• Blatant Lies: TK can tell that the others are withholding some kind of information on who he is.
• Dark Secret: Like Kari before her it seems Jeri has some kind of shameful secret that she is keeping from the others. It has something to do with Huanglongmon.
• Deadpan Snarker: Terriermon of course.
• De-power: Just like the others in The Lost Tamer, TK loses his armor digiegg. However, he is warned ahead of time.
• Destructive Savior: The Tamers have this problem going for them as their fights cause problems for Yamaki who is already on thin ice at Hypnos, and he is one of the few who can openly support them. So, he tells them to keep it off the streets.
• Failed a Spot Check: TK is so stuck in his thoughts that he doesn’t notice the cheery Vilemon sneak up on him until he enounces his presence. Same thing with the angry Vilemon. Luckily for TK the two Vilemon start to bicker instead of tearing into him.
• Fangirl: Kenta and Kazu are oozing this at TK and Patamon.
  • One of the female scientists at Hypnos literally squeaks at the sight of him and runs back into her office.
• Fantastic Racism: Hanaharu clearly doesn’t like digimon.
• Heroic RRoD: By the start of the story TK and Patamon are running on fumes from being chased for three days none stop by two Vilemon. When TK gets Patamon to digivolve into Pegasusmon he can only maintain the form for a handful of seconds before going back to Patamon.
• Hero with Bad Publicity: Without Takato and Guilmon to keep up the good PR, public opinion has been turning against the tamers.
• Ideal Hero: Kenta is rather surprised that TK would forgo getting his memories back as soon as possible to instead help with the coming battle on the solstice. He thinks the other tamers would be hard pressed to make that decision themselves.
• Innocently Insensitive: TK talking about how the Vilemon refused to return to Primary Village causes some discomfort amongst to tamers with him at the time, Jeri among them. Jeri tries not to let it bother her as the others tell him that there is no Primary Village. Her Dark Secret also seems to be playing apart in her behavior.
• Instant Sedation: Riley sprays a vile of something in TK and Patamon’s faces, and it knocks them out in seconds. Being as tired as they were possibly help that along.
• Jerkass: After hanging up on a conversation Hanaharu calls whoever he been talking to an idiot. He has no love for the tamers and their digimon calling Patamon a mistake. He almost breaks open TK’s digivice. It’s no wonder why Rika told TK he wasn’t to be trusted.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Rika still has a very hard attitude and is very confrontational. Such as when Kazu questions TK on if he had seen Takato. Rika points out that he would have said if he had. However, she gives Jeri a free pass for doing the same thing. In fact, she is very nice to Jeri. Having taken her under her wing to teach Jeri everything about digimon.
• Keeping Secrets Sucks: Just about everyone is keeping secrets from the others on top of lying to TK and they really don’t like having to.
• Once Done, Never Forgotten: Kenta pissed his pants in the first grade and Kazu won’t let him forget it.
• Power Incontinence: Henry and Rika have been warned against biomerging as it could kill them.
• Race Against the Clock: Just like in The Lost Tamer the group only has a matter of days before the solstice. In this case an army is heading for a portal.
• Relatively Flimsy Excuse: A strong case for one. Riley tells Hanaharu that TK is Yamaki nephew from an estranged sister. Given the blonde hair it can be quite believable and Hanaharu falls for it.
• The Scapegoat: Yamaki took a lot of blame from all the problems that had been occurring and with Takato’s disappearance got demoted.
• Sequencing Deception: When first starting the story you may assume that TK events are happening at the same time as Takato's in The Lost Tamer. However, it turns out that not only has TK been in the Tamer digital world for two months, but it is just days before the summer solstice. That is four months unaccounted for.
• Shipper on Deck:
  • Rika is one for Takato and Jeri. Much to the latter’s surprise.
  • Subverted with Jeri towards Henry and Rika. She thinks she sees something between them but berates herself for trying to play matchmaker.
• Ship Tease: Henry is starting to have feelings for Rika in the months following Takato’s disappearance.
• Show Within a Show: Obviously the Tamer kids would be a little freaked out to see a couple of characters from one of their favorite shows brought to life.
• Stealth Hi/Bye: Renamon pulls the hi part when Rika offers her food, causing TK to jump out of his skin.
• Stern Chase: The story opens up at the tail end of one. TK and Patamon have been getting chased for three days by a couple of Vilemon. They are able to escape into the real world and after meeting the tamers are able to beat the Vilemon for good.
• Stunned Silence: After finally getting rid of the Vilemon for good the tamers all fall silent and look at TK, clearly in shock of a fictional character in the flesh being right before their eyes.
• Teleportation: TK is able to escape the digital world through a manmade data stream.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Subverted, Guardromon does draw people's attention when walking down the street, but no one is running for the hills at the mere sight of a digimon,
• Wham Line: "Impmon’s gone too." Given that he was stated to be the Demon Lord of Gluttony in The Lost Tamer, was his disappearance a matter of choice or was he forced?
