Yes, well, almost is a major league understatement. It's neither complete, nor a novelization. In fact, it's [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: a darker retelling of one of my favorite shows as a kid.

[[Original Character]] Brandon Cash has just gotten back from his last day of school, and after a long day's celebration of the matter, he's just about to kick back and relax...at least until he gets word that his arch-nemesis Xana (not to be confused with [[Code Lyoko (Animation)|Code Lyoko's villain of a similar name]]) is heard to be building a new nuke production line for his factory. This could threaten the city, so naturally, Brandon gets into the factory, and beats Xana once again. Upon taking care of his newly built satellite laser, a temporal warp opens from the remains of the satellite, and sucks Brandon into the Digimon universe.

Thus begins Brandon's journey through the Digital World with the characters seen in the show. Brandon and the DigiDestined will need to survive Xana's attacks if they intend to survive the vices of the Digital World.

* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: Dream Bot!Xana utilizes a heat-seeker version of this in his fight with Brandon, during "Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo". He also shoots like this in a fit of rage near the end of the fight.
