Digimon: Hyperlink

[Digimon Hyperlink]

The Digital World had been relatively at peace

after the dethronement of the self-proclaimed

Digimon Emperor. All traces of that dark era were

gradually erased until it remained but a mere

memory in the minds of those who had witnessed it

firsthand. Malomyotismon never came into existence;

in fact, Yukio Oikawa was never involved with the

affairs of Ken Ichijouji or the Digital World.

The majority of the real-world denizens still know

nothing of the Digital World; and just as the

original battle between Greymon and Parrotmon at

Highton View Terrace was explained away as

terrorism, so have been other real-world

discrepancies.

A small branch of the Japanese military, which soon

came to be known as the Delitto Special Operations,

became extremely interested in these “acts of

terrorism” and the apparent amount of power behind

them. When no groups were found to support the

seemingly random attacks, the Delitto Special Ops

(DSO) began their own research and eventually

stumbled across conspiracy theories involving the

Digidestined and the Digital World. Through largely

hysterical re-tellings of Digimon sightings, the

rumors were enough to lead the DSO to the

Digidestined and much more dangerous information.

The DSO was obsessed with the promise of power

offered by the Digimon they researched, and planned

on using them as weapons for their own agenda.

When the DSO failed to open a working portal into

the Digital World, a tense struggle between them

and the known Digidestined ensued. When the latter

refused to allow careless entry into the Digital

World, the DSO attempted to create their own

portals. They were poorly made, and blinked out of

existence shortly after they were born. The one

Digimon they were able to pull out into the real

world was so weak from the transition through the

“glitchy” portal that it was destroyed as soon as

they began running tests on it.

The Digidestined, meanwhile, busied themselves with

sealing off the Digital World. They remained silent

and kept their heads down – after several fruitless

years, the DSO was shut down and regarded in much

the same manner as Area 51. Afraid of similar

abuse, the remaining Digidestined made a pact to

never return to the Digital World. After several

decades, Digimon and the events involving them came

to be seen as a hoax; an old wives’ tale not to be

given credit.

----------

It has been over a century since anyone has even

seen, much less set foot the Digital World. The

tentative calm that had settled in the absence of

human interference is beginning to warp – Digimon

are once more reaching out to the real world in

search of human tamers, desperately in need of

help. People all over the world have started

receiving mysterious emails, each one containing

but a single link that once clicked, self-deletes

the email after it pulls the reader into the

Digital World through a dilapidated portal.

So why has chaos seized the reigns of the Digital

World once again? Darkness has returned in the form

of a virus that is spreading through the Digital

World. It warps both the Digimon and their world

into dark, twisted imitations of their true selves,

bringing out and manifesting the worst of who they

are. The origins of the disease are shrouded in

mystery, and stemming the spread of the virus seems

an impossible task. A dark beast, Gevaudamon by

name, is said to spread the illness as he travels

through the digital landscape -- is he the cause of

this pandemic, and if so... Will you be able to

stop him?
