Hi everyone out there, this is my first fic that I started writing a while back. I finally decided on actually making an account and posting it. It's not completed, so I'm not going to post it all at once. It's gonna be pretty long and have quite a bit of chapters, and maybe I'll split it in to sequels, I don't know, but hopefully I'll be able to finish this without losing interest. Oh, and I'm not to sure about the title, I might change it later xP All right, onto the story!

Summary: The Digital World is in danger again, and it needs a new group of Digidestined to save them. Who are they going to be and are they enough to stop the inevitable, or will all they have to gather up all the former Digidestined to defeat the impending doom?

Disclaimer: The only things I own are my own OCs, and the story line. I do not own Digimon, or the characters, or any of the mysterious evil Digimon roaming Earth and the Digital World. I wouldn't bother owning them anyways, they'd probably just eat me.

PS: Oh, and I'll be putting each characters info in the beginning of the chapter after they appear. And some of the digivolution lines aren't correct, I made up my own digivolution lines from the existing Digimon, so if a Digimon digivolves to something that it's not in its line, it's supposed to be like that. All right, let's get this show on the road!

Regular Text is well, regular

Chapter 1: Enter Benji

Sunlight streamed though the curtains, slowly waking a human-sized lump under the covers of a bed. Benjirou "Benji" Himura groaned, rubbing his eyes briskly to rid them of sleep. Yawning, he streched his arms above his head, listening to the sounds of morning traffic outside his window, and... snoring? He looked down, startled, then smiled softly at a small orange ball of fluff, peacefully dozing on his pillow. Gently picking up the tiny fire-colored creature, last nights memories came rushing back.

*** Flashback ***

Benji's dark blue sneakers squelched annoyingly though the park as he looked for shelter from the sudden downpour. Why is it raining? It's summer! he thought as he grumpily trudged though the drenching rain, flipping the hood of his maroon jacket up over his head in a futile attempt to shield out the rain. Already sopping wet, he checked his watch, watching as it flashed 4:38 pm. He sighed, once again looking around for shelter. Spying a barely noticible cave a little off to the side, he ran towards it, hope pounding in his chest. This was definitely not here before, he thought, but nonetheless grinning when the opening came into veiw and looked fairly inviting, after being in the rain for so long.

As he ducked into the cave mouth, Benji realized the inside of the cave was glowing with a comforting scarlet glow. It wasn't a chilling, bloody color; more of an almost firey hue. In fact, the feeling warmed his cold, wet body to the center of his shaking, shivering bones. He quickly warmed up, as if he was sitting near a blazing fire. Rubbing his hands together, a flash of orange caught his eye. As he crept closer, Benji noticed the homey light was eminating from a large egg-shaped object sitting on a pedestal made of rock that rose up to Benji's hip level. The glow seemed to be radiating off the egg in waves, a strange pulsing feeling filling him with a sudden surge of courage.

Reaching our with a slightly shaking hand, Benji lightly touched the tip with his finger. Immediately, the light grew ever so much brighter, almost blinding him. Gritting his teeth and squinting, he placed both hands on it, feeling the energy humming almost happily as it flowed thoughout his whole body, mind, and soul. The egg, um thing suddenly became as light as a feather, almost causing Benji to drop it. But the moment it detached itself from the rock, the bright light enfulged him, filling the already bright cave with a searing firey glow. The egg burst into flames, causing Benji to flinch, almost dropping it again. As the flames washed over his hands, he discovered the heat had no affect on him, just a warm feeling that flickered around his hands.

Looking down, he gasped in shock, seeing the egg had disappeared, a small orange creature nestled in its place. The strange-looking animal slowly opened his emerald-green eyes and yawned cutely, peering at Benji for a bit before breaking out into a smile, hopping up and down, still in Benji's cupped palms. "Hi Benji! What took you so long?"

Annd... that's it for this chapter! Yay for cliffhangers! Well, hope you read my fic and r&r :) Thanks and cya soon!
