Authors Note:: This is a rewritten Digimon Adventure, using the additional character of mine, Halie Kendricks, now known for this story as Halie Kamiya. I'm following the story as much as possible so it doesn't confuse a lot of people. I don't mind compliments and critiques to this story, if you found something that should be changed about my writing, please let me know, I would love your help. If you read and leave a review and have a question or comment that you would like answered, I'd be more than happy to reply. This story will mostly be more of Halie's point of view, but every now and then it will change to that of another character and I will let you know when it does.

Disclaimer:: I don't own anything in this story other than the few changes I've made that were my creation and my character of Halie Kamiya.

Challenges of Life: Time Begins

CHAPTER 1: The Meeting

(Tai's Telling—everything said by Tai for this intro will be as followed, so it's kind of like narrating.)

INTRO::

It all began when the climate went completely out of control. The rainforest dried out and other places got totally flooded with ocean water like chocolate sauce. And get this, cities that were normally blazing hot in the summer got super cold. At the time, I didn't know any of this was going on, because I was at camp. All the other campers were goofing off and hanging out, me; I was enjoying the summer sun while…going over my multiplication tables. That is until it started to snow, in the middle of July! Totally freaky, and it gets weirder, you won't believe what happened to me and some of the other kids. Oh, by the way, my name is Tai Kamiya!

"Tai! Wake up Tai!" a young voice sounded from below the tree-limb the twelve-year-old boy was snoozing upon. The voice came from a small, dark red-headed child stood just below. She had on a black tank top with a dragon holding two balls; of white and one black. Her sneakers had a winged heart on both sides; one wing like an angel's and one demonic. That loud mouth is my nine-year-old sister Halie, and everyone seems to love her. The commotion the child was raising about her brother caught the attention of a few kids around the campsite.

One of the girls at the site came over to stand next to Halie; she had lighter red hair, a yellow shirt with a white collar, and a blue hat. The girl gave a smile as she looked up towards the sky and catching the young child's attention. This is Sora; she's okay for a girl. Sora had just let out a gasp as she noticed the snowflakes falling from the semi-clouded sky.

And Matt, well Matt's just too cool. A golden-haired boy in a green shirt and jeans looked over towards the two girls standing underneath the tree, his hair cut into that spikes and bangs. Yet another kid noticed the snow and finally took his eyes away from his yellow computer. And this little kid is Izzy; he should have gone to computer camp. Although not far away from where Sora and Halie stood, the last girl in the area stood up from looking at the flowers. She wore a reddish-pink outfit with a matching cowboy hat and brown gloves. That's Mimi; I'll bet you can guess her favorite color on the first try!

A boy about the same age as Halie stopped from playing in the bushes and began to look at the snowfall along with the others, amazement glowed in his eyes. That's TK, Matt's dopey little brother. And the last one to look up, seemed to be the oldest of them all, him looking down at the stairs he was walking along probably hoping not to fall. Oh, and this is Joe. Don't scare him, he might wet his pants.

Noticing her brother climb down the tree like a scared bear, Halie grumbled as she was pushed inside the cabin that would hold the rest of the kids until the snow stopped as it started to fall down much heavier. The noise of the wind started to worry the older kids; Izzy was to busy trying to get his internet connection while TK and Halie began playing Rock, Paper, Scissors because they got bored.

Watching and waiting for someone to open the door so they could go back outside, Halie got really bored until Tai slid it open. TK and Halie were the first ones out due to the fact they just wanted to go outside and not be cooped up like they would be if they were at home. Once Matt and Joe came out of the cabin, everyone noticed the two children already throwing snowballs at each other, yet aiming it just right, Halie threw her latest one and nailed Tai between the eyes causing him to fall from the unexpected impact. Looking at each other, TK and Halie ran and hid behind Sora and Matt until something caught everyone's eye.

Running back into the cabin, Halie stood over the kid and his computer, "Hey Izzy, you've got to come and see this! There are so many colors in the sky!" yet all she got was the reply she would have gotten from Tai.

"It's probably just the sunset Halie, it always has different colors at that time." Izzy paused as he thought about what she had said then looked at his clock. "Wait, it can't be sunset, it's hardly after noon." Grabbing his computer he followed Halie out to where the other six kids were waiting, watching the sky. As soon as they stopped he asked, "Well, what is it?"

"Maybe an aurora?" the question came from Sora who once again had Halie next to her. Ever since they had gotten to camp Tai never hung around her and the older girl did.

"You mean Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights? That's impossible. You see that in Alaska, we're way to far south."

"Tell that to the snow Izzy."

Yet after that Joe was being over-reactive and Mat just replied. Then suddenly a green shape appeared in the sky and just as Halie was about to say something, Tai butted it and said it himself. "Hey, what's that?" And as soon as he said that eight streaks of light came down from the green shape in the aurora, it seemed like fireballs at the end; each landing in and around the eight children as a cloud of snow-dust surrounded them.

Sora, recovering from what happened asked, "Everyone, are you alright?" and she got the replies of Matt, Mimi, and Joe as Izzy just claimed it as meteors. As everyone gathered around one of the new holes in the ground a light flashed and a small, strange device floated out. Each of the eight kids grabbed the one that came in front of them, Joe being the only one to nearly lose it and conversations started up again mostly with Izzy giving everyone some long-winded words that most of them didn't understand.

Just as soon as someone asked for instructions, what seemed like a large wave came literally out of no where and rose to a great height. As the wave of water came crashing down, swallowing each of the children and the next thing they new, there was no snow just really hard earth.

Halie sat under a tree with Tai lying unconscious a few feet away, a pink head with eyes sitting in her lap speaking like a conversation with it and it replied. She had found out that his name was Koromon, he was a Digimon, and the group landed in the Digital World. As Halie was processing everything, Koromon bounced over to Tai and spoke. "Tai. Yoo-hoo, Tai"

As soon as Tai noticed Koromon on top of him, Halie laughed as he started to freak out about it. Yet, Tai didn't notice his younger sister laughing until Koromon continuously told Tai that he was a friend and not to be afraid. Once Koromon told Tai his name and bounced into his hands, Tai's device from camp started to glow a bright light and Halie stopped laughing, looking away.

Suddenly Izzy came out from behind a couple of trees a few yards away, and as soon as they started talking, Halie felt left out, turning around and walking off. Izzy had one of the Digimon too, and she noticed that Matt, Sora, and TK had them as well. Also, once Mimi and Joe joined the picture, everyone had a Digimon friend except Halie. "Figured it was my luck, it's always my luck; Tai gets everything while I just get left out."

Kicking a rock she continued to walk until she heard shouts from Tai, Sora, Joe, and TK calling her, wondering where she was at. Suddenly a large, and that means large, red and black bug broke a tree as it stepped just in front of Halie and let out a roar. Just a few seconds after she let out a scream, the gang came running up behind her and one of the other Digimon, Tsunomon stated that the large Digimon was Kuwagamon.

Feeling her wrists get grabbed, Halie began running with Tai leading her as the neared a dead-end cliff. Letting go of her hand Tai walked near the edge and looked down, allowing everyone to know that there was no way out, and "We're trapped." Halie rolled her eyes and thought to herself, 'Yes Tai, that's a way to stay positive.'

After lying on the ground by being pushed down by TK, she watched with the others as the Digimon started to attack Kuwagamon until he fell from the sky into the forest. Everyone called for their Digimon as the saw them down on the ground. Each of the kids hoping their new friends were alright while Halie just stood up and padded the dust out of her clothes and narrowed her eyes in a longing fashion. That is until Kuwagamon came back, angrier than ever and everyone, including Halie ran to the edge where Tai was. All the older kids saying they should run until the Digimon said they should stand and fight. Then the Digimon started to run towards the large Digimon, the partnered kids telling them to return then as they neared the digital devices of the partners glowed, a light from the sky landing in the place the Digimon were in.

KOROMON DIGIVOLVE TO……AGUMON!

YOKOMON DIGIVOLVE TO……BIYOMON!

MOTIMON DIGIVOLVE TO……TENTOMON!

TSUNOMON DIGIVOLVE TO……GABUMON!

TOKOMON DIGIVOLVE TO……PATAMON!

BUKAMON DIGIVOLVE TO……GOMAMON!

TANEMON DIGIVOLVE TO……PALMON!

Just as soon as the new Digimon began to attack, they were knocked back by Kuwagamon with most of them landing down on the ground until Agumon gave the start up and Palmon and Patamon attacked.

POISON IVY! The vines at the ends of Palmon's hands wrapped themselves around Kuwagamon's right leg as he started to gain altitude, keeping him somewhat grounded until Patamon attacked, BOOM BUBBLE! Then Tentomon's attack, SUPER SHOCKER! and Gomamon's rolling spin to place Kuwagamon on one knee.

Agumon gave a good job to everyone before summoning a ball of fire in his mouth and releasing it, PEPPER BREATH! With Gabumon and Biyomon right behind him, BLUE BLASTER! SPIRAL TWISTER!

The last three attacks caused Kuwagamon to light up in flames and roar in pain before everyone sent their attack it the beetle Digimon, knocking him down for the count before they ran back to their friends. Halie just stood in the back while everyone greeted their new Digimon formed friends, she apparently being left behind again. Only until Biyomon and Sora walked over, and her Digimon introduced herself since they hadn't officially met like Halie had with Agumon before he digivolved.

Yet, just as the reunion came, so did Kuwagamon, apparently not fully defeated. Tai and Agumon being the closest, Halie yelled at him, "Tai! Watch out!" Her older brother looked just in time to not get stabbed with the pinchers of the large Digimon. Not noticing the cliff start to break off until the rumble, everyone seemed pretty freaked out about it, for it hadn't even been a day and they were already falling off cliffs.

Saskia: Alright well I followed most of the first part of the story to the exact, besides the parts where Halie came in. I guess I didn't really describe her that well, so I'll do that now. Halie has short, dark red hair in layers. She's normally seen in jeans and a black or purple shirt with either a dragon or some strange design; or she could be seen with a gray hoodie on with yellow markings along the left arm. Her eyes are 'hazel' but sometimes they're a deep blue color. Currently she is eight years old, the same age as T.K. and the sister to Tai. Although why she is his sister will be explained in later chapters. Also I have planned to make the updates something around two per week as long as my economics class doesn't interfere.

Halie: ....so Saskia, why don't I get a Digimon!? It's not fair that everyone gets one but me!

Saskia: Well.....that's going to be told about later on as well, I mean you have a digivice so technically you are a digidestined, your partner just...hasn't arrived yet.

Halie: What's that supposed to mean!? My partner hasn't arrived yet.

Saskia: Well it means I havn't figured out who your Digimon partner will be -smiles-

Halie: -grumbles- Well, you better figure it out and soon, Tai's going to get on my nerves.

Saskia: Don't worry Halie, he's going to get on everyone's nerves...

Tai: Hey! What's that supposed to mean!?

Saskia: ....Nothing Tai, well anyways, please review, critique and anything else you would like, I don't even mind if you bash this because it won't matter, I'm going to complete it, anyways I'm going to try to quickly get to the climax of the story so it might make people interested.....
