[OOM] Red skies in the Village of Beginnings
The sky is red when Ogremon comes to the Village of Beginnings.
Elecmon has no idea when everything changed. One day, Ogremon and Leomon were the protectors of File Island, safeguarding it against anybody who would disturb the peace. Every day, new eggs in the village hatched, new babies for Elecmon to look after, until he was sure he’d have to go hunting around for extra help.
Things had been -- idyllic. It wasn’t a word Elecmon would usually use to describe the Digital World.
When things changed, they didn’t change immediately. One day, Ogremon went missing, and when Leomon found him, he was standing in the snowy wastes at the edge of the island, staring out over the water at something only he could see.
More and more, his attention seemed to drift, and before long Leomon was patrolling on his own, while Ogremon wandered the island, searching for something he couldn’t find.
Then he started to become violent. At first, it was only in short bursts, as a stray word or an unexpected touch made him snap his teeth and swing his bone club. Then, he was violent more than he was peaceful. Then, finally, he lost his mind completely.
He wasn’t the only one, either. Whatever had seeped into Ogremon and twisted his mind, it wasn’t long until the rest of File Island started to succumb. Mojyamon went first, then Frigimon, then the many Numamon. Monzaemon and Centalmon turned next, and then the Kuwagamon.
Elecmon stayed in his village, hatching his eggs, hoping it would blow over.
But eventually, Ogremon came to him.
He moves with a single-mindedness Elecmon hadn’t seen since he’d first started to change, smashing every egg he comes across, trampling over their shells. When Elecmon attacks, Ogremon just ignores him, too focused on his task to notice.
So Elecmon stops attacking. Instead, he gathers as many eggs in his arms and starts to flee. He doesn’t know where he’s going to go, when nearly everyone on the island is mad. Maybe he’ll hide in the ruins of the Ancient Dino Region, or take the eggs to the top of Mount Infinity.
Ogremon’s attention snaps towards him before he even makes it five paces.
As he comes stomping towards Elecmon, Leomon jumps in, sword at the ready. They clash, club and sword crashing together, Leomon darting out of the way as Ogremon flings himself into the air and comes down with enough force to throw up dust and dirt around himself.
When the dust clears, Ogremon is fleeing, and Leomon is clutching his chest, hiding a glimmering slash across it.
As Leomon gives chase, Elecmon catches a glimpse of a figure, standing among the broken shells. Not a Digimon. A human boy, with a shock of dark hair.
Elecmon blinks at him for a moment. “Ken Ichijouji?”
The human doesn’t seem to notice him, and as Leomon and Ogremon vanish over the horizon, he flickers blue and vanishes, like a mirage, leaving Elecmon alone with the broken remains of his village.
