Digimon Xros Wars AU 02

"Digimon Xros Wars: Alternate Universe 02!" Is a Fanfic that takes the original Digimon Xros Wars series and changes its plot by moving Akari Hinomoto from the human world to the Digital World, gives her the Red Xros Loader, partners her with Shoutmon and a Lopmon. From there, the story enters a roller coaster of madness, with the obvious Alternate Universe changes coming into play somewhere around the middle of the first arc.

It can be found here.

The Story is currently divided up into two arcs separated by an intermission bridge, with hints of a third arc later to come. These are:


 * The Code Crown hunt (AKA: Digimon Xros Wars)
 * The First 30 chapters of the story, covering the First episode to the fight with Tactimon in Sword Zone.
 * Intermission Bridge
 * Seven Swords (AKA: Digimon Xros Wars: The Evil Death Generals and the Seven Kingdoms)
 * Currently ongoing, covering Xros Heart's return to the Digital World and their battles against the Bagura Army's Seven Death Generals.
 * Currently ongoing, covering Xros Heart's return to the Digital World and their battles against the Bagura Army's Seven Death Generals.


 * 108: The Bagura Empire thinks this is the total Number of Code Crowns.
 * Action Girl: Akari and Sparrowmon.
 * Alternate Universe: Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
 * All Just a Dream: Chapter 37 begins like this.
 * Asteroids Monster: Starmon's "Meteor Squall!" Attack is this with his subordinates.
 * A Wizard Did It: Wizardmon
 * Badass Abnormal: Taiki in Dust Zone.
 * Badass Boast: Shoutmon paraphrasing the Eleventh Doctor's Pandorica speech in Lake Zone during Chapter 5, using Xros Heart's previous reputation to his advantage.
 * Berserk Button:
 * Big Damn Hero: Xros Five's debut in Heaven Zone. Engine King Grand Nine in Dust Zone. Zenjirou in Shinobi Zone.
 * Big Damn Heroes: Arguably all of Xros Heart.
 * BFG:
 * Taiki Digi-Xrossed with Dorulumon still makes the Dorulu-Cannon.
 * Beelzebmon Xrossed with Revolomon makes him Death the Kid with wings.
 * RampageGureimon IS one.
 * BFS: Zenjirou's Rare Star Sword, and Tactimon's Jatetsufūjinmaru.
 * Big Red Button: The "Giant, Big, Red, Threatening Button That Must Never Ever Be Pressed Under ANY Circumstances (TM)" that Matadormon presses in Chapter/Episode 28.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Narration delves into this on occasion, lamenting on the story at hand, and even saying that the Readers are lucky they don't have to see a certain event (The Love Love Dance).
 * Quite literally Broken in chapter 36, with Aradia pausing the story entirely to explain what the Honeybeemon were doing.
 * Break the Cutie: The story seems to be putting Kiriha through the ringer with the most recent (Seven Swords) arc.
 * Brick Joke:
 * When Cutemon and Shoutmon Digi-Xros in Shinobi Zone into "Tengen Toppa Shou-Cutemon!", It comes off as a one-off Shout-Out.
 * You think it's just a Punny Name when you hear Sally's full name originally, but then comes Chapter 28 again with its Whole-Plot Reference to the Doctor Who episode "Blink."
 * Catch Phrase: When asked "Who are you?" Akari and Shoutmon go into variations of the following, often with accompanying poses and roll-calling similar to Super Sentai and Power Rangers.
 * "He doesn't know?" "Seems he doesn't." "Let's tell him then." "We are Xros Heart! Engrave It on your Hearts!"
 * Continuity Nod: Both ShineGreymon Ruin Mode and Lucemon Dragon Mode appear in Chapter 37.
 * Continuity Snarl: The story subtly changes tracks roughly halfway through the first arc, due to Digimon Xros Wars the Young Hunters Leaping Through Time airing.
 * Cute Monster Girl: Akari's Digimon form, as seen Here.
 * Disappeared Dad and Missing Mom: Akari's father founded the original Xros Heart, presumably her mother was a member as well. They left her in Green Zone with the promise that they would return. They Didn't, and one day the Red Xros Loader fell from the sky and passed leadership of the team on to her and Shoutmon.
 * Tactimon pretty much spells it out for us.
 * Don't Explain the Joke: Eridan the Monitamon explains the funny spelling of DeltAntylamon's name, much to Aradia the Monitamon's annoyance.
 * Now a Running Gag: Eridan tries the same thing with OmegaShoutmon in chapter 32, ZekeGureimon in Chapter 33, and Shoutmon De-Xros in Chapter 35.
 * Enemy Mine: Xros Heart and Blue Flare team up briefly with Tactimon when AncientVolcamon goes insane from his previous defeats.
 * Everything's Better with Everything: The Power to Digi-Xros ends up being reduced to this quite a lot.
 * Everything's Better with Princesses: Lake Zone has two princesses, Bastemon, the older of the two sisters, and Chibi-Bastemon, the younger of the two. Guess which one accompanies Xros Heart?
 * Fan Service:
 * Lopmon can Digi-Xros with Lila to become Turuiemon Xros Two Lilly, who is an alternate Version wearing a green skirt and a loose, green T-shirt with fairy wings instead of the usual the ninja clothing. Taiki lampshades this as Lila's will altering the Digi-Xrossed form.
 * Akari fights in a bathing suit during the first Magma Zone episode.
 * Nene wears the Love Love Dance costume in Dragon Land for no apparent reason other than to annoy Zenjirou and Lila.
 * Feet First Introduction: The first thing Taiki sees of Sally Sparrow are her dark grey snow boots, strangely out of place on a tree on an island's beach.
 * Flat What: Happens a lot.
 * Foreshadowing: The Bearmon in prison comments about a Cutemon couple who had recently been transferred out of Magma Zone. Cutemon notes that it would be a wild coincidence but can't help but wonder if it's his missing parents.
 * Fauxshadowing:
 * Fusion Dance: Digi-Xrossing in general.
 * Genre Savvy: Everyone shows signs of this at some point or another.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Practically everyone when you let Wizardmon use his Shapeshifting spell.
 * Hot Springs Episode: Having just left Island Zone, which actually had a beach, and arriving in Magma Zone, everyone wants to enjoy the Hot Springs. Akari lampshades this.
 * Humiliation Conga: Dark Knightmon in Dust Zone, see the Nice Job Breaking It entry below. Death Meramon in Magma Zone
 * And now Neo Vamdemon in Vampire Land.
 * Interspecies Romance: Played with with Shoutmon and Akari, but ultimately subverted. The opening narration explains that "Anyone born in the Digital World" is a Digimon, and the first episode shows that Akari has Shoutmon's attacks and can Digi-Xros with Lopmon. She also has to ride in the Xros Loader(s) with the other Digimon, or else she'll disintegrate like any other Digimon.
 * Played straight with Lila the Lillymon and Zenjirou, although Lila just wants to be human, and they haven't admitted to liking each other yet.
 * Invoked Trope: Shoutmon finds a scarf in the Human world that matches the Scarf of Asskicking that mysteriously appeared (and disappeared) In Shinobi Zone.
 * It Runs in The Family: Tactimon implies that being a traitor runs in Hangyomon's family.
 * Jumped At the Call: Taiki did this to save Dorulumon's life.
 * Law of Inverse Recoil: Averted. The Dorulu Cannon has a NASTY recoil, Taiki only ever uses it twice before collapsing in Lake Zone.
 * Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Shoutmon briefly wonders if he's taking the position of the viewers of a TV series in chapter 29.
 * Loads and Loads of Characters: Xros Heart makes friends wherever they go. Has it's own Page.
 * Memento MacGuffin: Shoutmon's Omega shaped Necklace. Doubles as an actual MacGuffin in that it lets him Digivolve into OmegaShoutmon, apparently as part of a Stable Time Loop put into place by Tactimon and Lilithmon.
 * Mook Face Turn: Dorulumon starts a trend.
 * Mundane Utility: While the Shapeshifting Spell from the original Xros Wars Manga to turn a Digimon into Human Form is normally used for more private use,  uses it to quickly repair her jet engines and rescue Nene from falling in Heaven Zone.
 * Wizardmon uses the same spell to disguise the other Digimon as humans when the Xros Loaders break down on Earth.
 * Mythology Gag: The Second arc is named "Seven Swords" instead of "The Evil Seven Death Generals" as a Shout-Out to the rumored title for the Second half of the Xros Wars anime.
 * Nice Job Breaking it, Villain:
 * One-Hit Kill: This happens at the end of the Karaoke Zone endings,
 * Play-Along Prisoner: Xros Heart does this to break out the prisoners in Magma Zone.
 * Psychic Dreams for Everyone: The First chapter opens with this: Everyone who was sleeping at the time has the same dream-battle.
 * Dreaming of Things to Come: Akari seems to have prophetic powers, having a dream about a critical event in the Death Generals Arc at the beginning of the first Jungle Zone chapter. She continues to have more simplified dreams after  arriving in Shinobi Zone.
 * And another one foreshadowing the climax of the Second arc, set to Infinity Mechanism, no less.
 * Purely Aesthetic Gender: Averted like it is in the main series, with a few added details. The Shapeshifting Spell from the original Xros Wars Manga to turn a Digimon into Human Form is normally used between Digimon who can't reproduce in their Digimon forms.
 * Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Dust Zone's rebellion force.
 * Dorulumon and Shoutmon discuss all of Xros Heart being this in Chapter 36.
 * Running Gag: The Red Pickmon and Birds.
 * The Xros Loaders breaking.
 * Shoutmon hopes they don't make a habit of falling from the sky when entering a Zone when entering Lake Zone,
 * The Digimon Introduction Corner Segments: Eridan the Monitamon introduces a Digimon, and explains their name, much to Aradia the Monitamon's continual annoyance.
 * Shout-Out: Too many to count! It has it's own page.
 * Spanner in the Works: The Denizens awakening puts a Spanner into DarkKnightmon's plans.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Gureimon instead of the usual Greymon.
 * Stable Time Loop: Taiki will have to make one at some point in the far future, having already seen the end result via the aid of a dimensional disturbance. He has it easy, though, when compared to others: Shoutmon is setting one up for other people, and Nene seems to be working towards a similar goal.
 * The whole story so far seems to be the result of one.
 * Stuff Blowing Up: Happens more often than you'd think.
 * Tangled Family Tree: ChibiKamemon calls Akari "Akari-onee-chan", Shoutmon "Shout-onii-san", and Knightmon "Knight-otou-san", despite the fact that he's not related to any of them, and that he considers Knightmon to be more of an uncle than a father, but thinks it sounds better.
 * Theme Music Power-Up: Dondokomon's assembled band playing X-4B THE GUARDIAN! and SKY DANCING HERO XROS FIVE! in Heaven Zone counts as this.
 * Theme Naming: The Seven Swords arc has the first half of the episode title being named after the current Land in some way.
 * There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Kiriha's motto when it comes to fights. Xros Heart seems to have adopted this in their later fights.
 * Invoked Trope: Xros Heart says this right before Shoutmon De-Xros destroys NeoVamdemon with three consecutive attacks.
 * Time Skip: Twice over the span of three chapters-
 * Timey-Wimey Ball: The Time-Static-Storm-Like-Things that keep popping up seem to be a part of one going across all of time and space.
 * Troubled Backstory Flashback: Akari and Taiki get these early on, showing how they came to hold the Red Xros Loader and Memento-Goggles, respectively.
 * Unexplained Recovery: SkullKnightmon's survival  goes largely unexplained, although it's been theorized by Xros Heart that he's much like the Shademon that he used to possess Nene and Kiriha (and several people in Heaven Zone) and that his data was unstable enough to survive.
 * DarkKnightmon writes a journal entry in a recent chapter trying to explain away his recovery as a survival mechanism. It's up to you if you want to believe him or not.
 * Who's on First?:
 * Word of God: This whole page was started and is maintained by the original fan-fic author.
 * You ALL Share My Story: Dark Knightmon wonders on the fact that Taiki, Kiriha, Nene, and her sister all have extremely Strong Xros Codes despite not being born in the Digital World.
 * Your Size May Vary: It's a brief blink and you miss it line, but Sparrowmon had data that allows Xros Five (and any subsequent forms) to adjust their size to match their opponent.
