Your trek along a mountainous path led to a cavern that you haven’t discovered before. It was a convenient place to reside until the storm goes through. As you move further inside the dark cavern, you see a dim light that becomes brighter as you moved towards it. In the furthest depth of the cavern, you see the bright light emitting from handheld mechanical device resting on a stone altar. Your curiosity draws you towards the altar despite your conscious telling you otherwise. Your eyes catch of an engraved drawing of what vaguely looks to be a troll of some kind. It’s hard to make out the details from the weathered condition of the engraving. As you moved closer to view the engraving, the device begins to shine brighter, and the device sends pulses that surge through your body as if the device was…living. As if each pulse you felt was like a heartbeat…but how, you questioned. You now face to face with the device where you see what looks to be a small idol of an earthen giant in a fetal on the video screen. Once you held the device in your hand, the screen reads “B Spirit of Earth Gigasmon….Activate Y or N?” Without thinking, you instinctively clicked a side button which selected the Y option. The screen suddenly turns off and the pulsing ends. Annoyed, you wanted to put the device down until you noticed that it adhered itself to your right hand.

You attempt to shake it off with no avail, but you notice that something was dripping from the device. As you took time to examine the weird liquid, light brown and tan goo spontaneously gushed out of the device just missing your face. However, your right hand and leg were not spared from the torrents of goo that covered your hand, shirt, shorts, and hiking boots. You hastily tried to wipe the ever-expanding fluid from you, but it wasn’t too long before your hands and upper body was encased. As the gooey fluid descending further, you felt the liquid prison become denser pulling you down to the ground. It wasn't long before the tan and sand covered substance encased your body before sealing your head. You lay face down struggling to move, struggling to lift yourself, to fight against the unfortunate fate that you encountered until you felt a pulse. It was the same as you felt before except this time it's emanating from within you.

AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE A WORTHY VESSEL!!!

You shook as you heard a bellowing voice inside the darkness. It sounded as if came from every direction.

IF YOU ARE TO BE TRUE WIELDER OF THE EARTH SPIRIT, THEN FIGHT FOR IT OR LET THE EARTH CRUSH YOU FROM WHERE YOU LAY!!!

Whether through your new determination or the motivation from the bellowed the voice, you begin to lift yourself. Filled with a new drive, you were determined to fight through the goo and free yourself but something unexpected happens. The goo that held you down became lighter and starts adhering around your body.

YES!!! TAKE THIS NEW FORM AND BECOME THE MIGHTY GUARDIAN OF THE EARTH!!!!

You excitedly take on the new destiny that was forced upon. As soon as you heard those words, you began to see flashes of the figure that was engraved on the ceiling above the altar. The more of the figure you see inside yourself, the more eager you were to become what it was. The goo reacts to your eagerness by building on more muscle to your already fit physique. Spikes protruded from the knuckles of your expanding hands as well as your arms, back, and legs. You grew to at least 8 ft tall as the goo began to fuse with the muscles in your body. Lastly, your head takes shape as you lose your ears but gain a strong jaw and a large nose. As your body finished the last of its changes, you began to feel the spirit meld with your very soul. You shake suddenly as the soul merges with your own and you began to take on its confidence and bravado. You awaken to find yourself kneeling. As you stand, you not observed your new form but admired it. Hands that can not only grab a boulder but crush it singlehandedly. A body hard as granite, able to take a hit and dish one out twice as hard. You were built like a juggernaut and loved every moment of it. “How can one be meek with strength like this? ”you questioned as you flexed your enlarged biceps.

YES, VESSEL. WE ARE ONE NOW. TAKE THIS NEW FROM AND RULE THIS DOMAIN AS OTHERS HAVE BEFORE YOU!!!

You readily accepted the new destiny thrust upon you. You became the guardian spirit of the earth and with it, you know the ins and out of the mountain range, every trail, cliff, and cavern those before you have protected. You walk out the altar room, shaking the ground beneath you with each step. As you reach the mouth of the cavern, you see vandals in the distance destroying the trail. With a smirk, you gave yourself a running start before you launched yourself into the air ready to give the ragtag group the surprise of their life.

Sometimes picking up a digivice can lead one to a whole new destiny.
