Digimon.arc (condensed)

**Digimon.arc** (デジモンドットアーク, *Dejimon Dottoāku*?), pronounced "Digimon Dot Arc", and stylized as **digimon.arc** is a Digimon fan-project. It consists of one continuous story spread out over two "seasons."

## Story

See *List of Digimon.arc episodes*

See *Timeline of events in Digimon.arc*

The current year is 2053. Over half a century ago, a group of human scientists led by a French graduate student named Adeline Bon discovered an unfathomably vast digital space they called the Digital World, as well as the intelligent creatures who inhabit it; Digimon. Several of Bon's colleagues formed MIDGARD Systems, which has since grown to be a multi-national company responsible for the modern world's most advanced technology. By far their greatest innovation was the DTS— an umbrella term for the utilization of the "Server Layer" of the digital world to augment the real world.

The discovery of the digital world destabilized the rift normally separating it from the real world, and attacks on human cities by confused Digimon became widespread, though just as often the creatures would befriend humans. World governments attempted to regulate this by military force and an international policy against the unauthorized interaction between humans and Digimon, though MIDGARD would be the ones to find a more permanent and effective solution. Arc Academy was founded— an expansive branch of educational facilities dedicated to training young people to form partnerships with Digimon to keep both the real and digital worlds free of conflict.

A technologically prodigious society formed thanks to the DTS and Arc Academy, and Digimon became an accepted part of everyday life for many people across the world.

Every few years, the digital world would face a new crisis— whether from long-running power conflicts the world over or human interaction threatening the fate of one or both worlds. An unknown force would always respond in kind, resulting in a phenomenon where specific pairings of Digimon and human partners would progress very quickly and reach levels of power thought impossible. Those "selected," usually young people, became known as the Chosen Children, and always end up playing an instrumental role in restoring equilibrium to both worlds. Arc Academy's E-class started when this abnormality was detected so that additional training could be provided to Chosen Children in order for them to join professional tamers in combating these threats.

Five years ago, a group of seven Japanese Chosen Children faced the insurmountable task of restoring order in the digital world after years of rule by the tyrannical Demon Lords. The mission succeeded and the Demon Lords were defeated and recovered by MIDGARD, but resulted in the loss (that is, death) of six out of seven children and their partner Digimon, as well as the complete dissolution of the digital world's highest authorities; the Royal Knights. The digital world lacked a leader, and it remained that way until one of the Royal Knights, Alphamon, resurfaced to repair the disorder created by the conflict with the Demon Lords. Peace was restored, but humans would not soon forget the danger the Chosen Children faced.

An alarming number of gates between the real and digital worlds have opened as of late. Amamiya Yuuki— the younger sister of one of the six deceased Chosen Children— has recently moved to Tokyo with her parents. After getting lost in another prefecture while trying to get home, Yuuki is led to the grounds of Arc Academy Tokyo by a mysterious voice. Several days later, a teacher from Arc Academy visits her home and tells the girl she *has* to enroll in the Academy— her short visit caused a disturbance in one of the Digi-tama in Arc's highest-security nursery, and she is a Chosen Child just like her brother.

And her partner is one of the Demon Lords.

## Overview

The story follows Yuuki and the seven other members of Arc Academy Tokyo's E-class. Together they fight the stray Digimon who wander through gates into the real world, while Arc Academy and MIDGARD attempt to deduce what new danger has triggered the selection of not one, but eight Chosen Children. Along the way, the children and their Digimon become familiar with each others' worlds.

Yuuki's incorrigible partner seems to be incapable of accepting his partnership with a human, but to the relief of all who know his identity as Baalmon— Demon Lord of Gluttony, he appears to have lost his memories.
