Chapter 1

It was a cool summer afternoon in the middle of July, a rare occurrence in Missouri. Most of the state's residents would be outside, enjoying the summer sun while it's not so hot, as there would be very few days like that going into August and the rest of July. You could walk down any old neighborhood and watch kids play in hoses, jump in backyard pools, and blow bubbles so big that they would pop right in their faces! It should be a lovely time in the world now, right?

Wrong. This particular neighborhood was all cooped up inside on that cool summer day… You see, what was unique about this day, is that no weathermen throughout the country had been able to predict it. It had been scheduled to be a perfectly normal 102 degrees Fahrenheit, as it had been since mid-June. The cause of this drop in sudden coolness? To the average bystander, it was unknown. To the 18-year-old aspiring scientist, Tiffany Strong, it was completely logical.

The teen bustled around in her homemade laboratory in her basement of her parents' house. "Okay, we're getting close to actually starting this thing!" She exclaimed with joy and pulled another lever, making the temperature drop another ten degrees. "Oh…" She started fiddling around with the controls on the computer screen in front of her. "Well, that's not good." She muttered to herself as she dragged herself over to the pile of paperwork on one of the counters. Clearing the stack till she reached the bottom of the paper, she pulled out a tiny sheet that listed the dangers of her latest project. "Could end all humanity if given a chance." She read slowly, and then turned around. "Yeah, this is an issue." She dashed back to the lever, threw it back up, and in doing so, cut off the energy supply feeding into the giant tube in front of her. "Not today, you don't!"

She smiled and turned back around to look at the piece of paper again. "Okay, what else was on here that could be dangerous…" She felt a slow tap on her shoulder and assumed it was her parents. "Mom, Dad, go away. This is dangerous stuff right here." The tapping continued. "MOM!" She turned around, expecting to see her mom there, holding a plate of food for the hard-working girl.

Instead, she saw a shattered tube with a hexagonal shape hovering over it. She screamed, and leapt underneath one of the desks a second before it grew a spiked mace as an arm and swung it right where she had been standing. "Apocalymoooon." The creature growled, sending chills up Tiffany's spine. "Oh no… What have I created this time…" She groaned and was forced to quickly move again, as a sword now sprouted out of the hexagonal shaped spike ball. "Alright, I guess your name is Apocalymon? Well, you can never beat the person that created you, so get back in your tube and I'll disable this whole thing." It growled, and let out a shriek that shattered all of the glass in the house. "GOT IT! I will be getting out of your way while you go on your merry way or something." Tiffany ducked as the spiked mace swung back her way and destroyed the back part of her laboratory. "Noooo, not the lab!" She cried out, as she watched months of hard work go down the drain.

Apocalymon began to float out of the lab and into a portal that it had summoned. "Where are you going?" Tiffany yelled after it as the portal was closing. "Digital… World…" The creature telepathically put in her mind as the portal closed. "The digital world? What's that?" Tiffany muttered to herself and she set out to clean up what was left of her lab.

Two Years Later

A young boy walked outside, squinting up at the sun to get a rough estimate of the time. "Okay, I should have enough time to get back home then, right?" He asked himself, willing his body to keep moving. "I'm almost there. I can make it in time." He hefted his heavy backpack onto his small 16-year-old shoulders and almost fell over. "Come on now, no falling. You can see the door now." He worked his way up to the door and opened it, fully expecting a tirage of insults to come as he tracked snow into the house. "Mom, I'm back before 5. Do I get to eat now?" He asked the house, warily stepping in it and placing his backpack down.

He slowly explored the house, starting with the bedrooms, calling out for his mom every so often, but hoping that she wasn't there. "This is really confusing…" He reached the kitchen, and saw a note on the kitchen table. "Michael. This is probably weird for you since I've never called you by your name. But, there's a first time for everything I guess. Anyways, I digress. I left the house. For good. You've got about two hours as of 3:00 pm before the Child Welfare officers come to pick you up and take you to the orphanage. And yes, I was your biological mother. You have no family other than me and I don't want you anymore. Buh-bye." Michael put the note on the kitchen table and quickly glanced up at the clock. "Shoot. It's 4:55. Time to move. Grab food, water, and clothes. Maybe blanket if you can."

Michael dashed around the house, grabbing what he would need to survive as long as he could by himself. He got back in the kitchen right as he heard a knock on the door. "No, I need more time…" He muttered and stood up, already planning in his head. 'Okay, this is gonna be pretty simple. I'm not going to an orphanage, ever.' With his hastily put together plan, Michael grabbed one last item from its special place in the house and hid it with the rest of his belongings and opened the door. "Hi! You must be the officers."

Michael quickly glanced at the officers, judging that they were no more than those who would hop off the streets to do this job for some quick money. 'Not gonna be hard to outrun, the important part.' He went with the officers, grabbing his bag of stuff that he had quickly put together and went out to the car. He was very quiet as the officers started talking about the "exciting" weekend that they had the past weekend, forcing Michael to hold in his noises of disgust. Michael quickly started digging in his bag for his escape attempt, and was fortunate enough that the men were making enough noise just by talking that he was able to execute it.

He pulled out a small package and held it close as he slowly unlocked the door, praying that the two loudmouths in front wouldn't hear him. He heard a click, and the door unlocked itself. He held it up against the car, hoping the duo up front hadn't heard him.

To his relief, neither seemed to notice anything different. Instead, they turned on the radio, blasting it as loud as it could go. 'Thank everything possible for these two bumbling idiots.' Michael thought in his head and cracked open the door, letting the hot summer air come through. He glanced back up at the two men, and, seeing that they were still engaged in their conversation, waited until they reached a red light.

The car came to a quick halt at the next red light, giving Michael the opportunity to get out of the car. He had to time it correctly; otherwise he would've been seen, making his attempt a lot more difficult. Michael seized the opportunity when the two officers turned the radio to a heavy metal station that was in the middle of a very, very loud song. 'Here goes nothing!' He thought to himself, as he opened the door and jumped out of the car, letting the door gently close behind him.

The second his feet touched the ground, he started sprinting for cover in the group of tall trees that he could see off of the corner of the road. "Oh my god, I just did that." Michael panted while running, taking care to stay out of view of the front seats of the car. He dodged a couple of cars that were trying to cross the intersection and other lanes, and quickly jumped over one of the cards and landed into a roll that sent him on to the grass and behind the trees.

"Oh my god, I did that." Michael let out the breath he had been holding and looked around, expecting there to be someone there. "No? Okay, let's go. I don't have much time." He started running off, much deeper into the city.

Two Weeks Later

Tiffany, now 20-years-old, jostled her keys into the lock on her apartment door. "Come on, you stupid thing." She pushed on the door just slightly and it gave in, opening to her apartment. "Alright, gentle is best here." She smiled and placed her purse on the hook on the wall and grabbed her phone out of it. Putting the device in her pocket, she walked over to a pile of laundry on her bed and started folding it.

A quiet noise startled her and caused her to come out of her laundry-induced tired phase. "What was that?" She turned around, only to see a clearly hungry boy trying to sneak away from her purse. "Hold up now, that's not for you." She grabbed whatever was in the boy's hand and took it away from him. "Now, if you wanted some food, you could've just asked for some. I've got plenty." The kind young adult pulled out a granola bar from her purse and handed it to the dirty boy. "Thank you… Do you have one for Ally too?" The boy stepped to the side to reveal another person, this time, a girl, who was holding something else in her hand. "Here, don't worry about it." Tiffany handed the girl a granola bar as well, reaching into her kitchen to see what else she had in regards to food.

"Now, why are you two on the streets instead of at a home?" She asked, puzzled by why such a young boy and girl would be out on the streets and stealing. "My mom left me, and I found her being beat up by her dad." The boy explained, hugging Ally, and clearly showing support for the girl. "May I ask what your name is?" Tiffany squatted down to get a better look at the duo. "Yes. My name is Michael. I was the boy that escaped from the Child Welfare officers a few weeks back." Michael decided to trust Tiffany, as she had given them food and hadn't kicked them out yet. "Michael, what's that over there?" Ally pointed towards a shape in the corner of the room. "I don't know Ally. Excuse me, ma'am, but what is that in the corner?" "You can call me Tiffany."

Suddenly, the object jerked, and revealed itself in its entirety. "Apocalymon! What are you doing here?" Tiffany shrieked and stood in front of the two kids. "You… Are coming with me now!" It roared and Tiffany grabbed onto the first thing she could find, which was a bag of food, and prepared to swing it at Apocalymon, but was stopped in her tracks. "NOW!" It roared again and Tiffany, Ally, and Michael were thrown into a nearby portal to the digital world with whatever they had with them.

On the other side of town

A teenager lie face down on her bed, muttering incoherently in her sleep, seemingly looking for something. Her hand slammed down on a beeping alarm a few seconds later, momentarily stopping the annoying beeping noise. She groaned and lifted her head, searching for her phone. "Where did I put that?" She sat up and felt around her bed, finding her phone quickly after that. She quickly began getting ready for her day, slipping on her school clothes that she would normally wear, and stepped out of her room into the hallway and made her way to the kitchen, where her mom was waiting. "Good morning Linzi. Did you sleep well?" She asked, while Linzi made herself a bowl of cereal. "Yes, I did. It was really nice to sleep in my own bed again!"

"I'm glad. It was lonely being by myself for the weekend, but it's good that you enjoyed yourself at camp." Linzi's mom referenced the short Girl Scout camp that Linzi had just went to the previous weekend. "Now, remember that when you get home from school today, you've got to get that pack of yours put away and everything out of it cleaned, okay?" Her mom smiled. "Yep! I got it momma!" Linzi gave her mom a hug before she sat down with her cereal. She quickly tore through her cereal and got ready for her school day.

It didn't take long for her to notice that something was wrong. "Why is my hairdryer gone?" Linzi started digging around her bathroom for the electronic. "And why is there water dripping from the ceiling?" She opened the door to the bathroom and was greeted by a wave of water pushing its way in. "What? Where am I?' Linzi stepped into the hallway and looked out the window. "What." Outside the window, a small school of fish swam by. "I'm underwater…" Quickly grabbing her pack from the weekend prior and opened the front door, more than ready to swim to the surface, no matter how far away it was.

In The Real World

"Now, it begins…" Apocalymon took one last glance at the real world before entering back into the digiworld, watching as a strong-looking teen glared at the creature with hate in his eyes. "YOU! I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!" The teen stood in the ruins of his house, where his parents lie, buried into the ground because of the rubble. "Have fun trying…" Apocalymon disappeared, and the portal began closing. "Not without me you don't!" The hotheaded teen ran into the portal after Apocalymon, reappearing in the digital world in a massive jungle. "Oh no… Where am I?" The boy groaned and buried his face in his hands.

"I might as well keep moving to try to find civilization, I guess." He began pushing through the ferns and plants to move towards a small clearing. "I'll be able to see the surroundings a bit better then." He quickly reached the clearing and glanced around. "It seems to be safe…" He stepped out into the clearing and heard a screech from a nearby tree. "What was that? Who is there?" He yelled, hoping to hear a human voice. "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! YOU DARE INVADE MY TERRITORY?" A human-sized flying insect flew out from the trees, swinging its arms so that the trees around it were cut down. "Ooooh, a tasty little treat! Time to gobble him up! Brown Stingers!" The stingers that had been previously unseen to the teen revealed themselves and began to shine a dark brown color.

The teen quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the powerful strike that the insect had fired off from its stingers. "START RUNNING!" He began running through the trees with the intention of hopefully quickly loosing the monster.

Nearby, another boy sat down, exhausted from walking all day. "Okay, I've literally walked all day Jacob… There's no one around here…" He sniffled and stood back up again, preparing his legs to move so he could walk some more.

The other teen ran past Jacob, screaming his lungs out the entire time. "What? What is…" Jacob turned around to see the bug-monster preparing an attack. "Poison Powder!" "AIYEEEEEEEE!" Jacob threw himself to the right, causing the attack to miss once again. "SOMEONE HELP MEEEEE!" He cried out as the insect thing bore down on him.

Underneath Jacob's feet, a small glow emanated and revealed itself to him. The glow belonged to a small blue and green device. "Genomon… Digivolve toooo!" A cute pink puffball jumped out from one of the bushes and stood in front of Jacob. "Caninmon!" A small black dog now stood in front of Jacob growling at the insect creature. "What? Who are you and why are you helping me?" Jacob was terrified and slowly panicking. "My name is Caninmon! I'm your digimon partner and my job is to protect you from nasty guys like Flymon!" Caninmon growled at Flymon. "You just let me handle it from here, okay?" "Um… Okay! You go Caninmon!" Jacob cheered on his savior. "Hyper Blast!" Caninmon jumped in the air and opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs that glowed and sent a blast of electricity towards Flymon.

The electricity connected, stunning Flymon for a few minutes. "Quickly! We've got to get out of here!" Caninmon nosed Jacob, pushing him away from Flymon. Jacob quickly got the memo and began running away from the stunned Flymon, with Caninmon hot on his heels. The two moved past several more clearings, tramping down the grass and ferns as they raced through the jungle. "Have!" Jacob tried to talk to Caninmon, bust lost his breath midway. "Have we lost that evil creature?" The two slowed to a stop. "I think so…" Caninmon quickly replied, panting. The dog creature began sniffing around the small area that they had found themselves in. "It seems to be all clear!" Caninmon barked happily.

"Um… Pardon me, but what are you?" Jacob blurted out, breaking the silence that had been hovering over the duo's heads as they explored the area. "Well, my name is Caninmon!" Caninmon barked. "I'm your partner digimon!" "My partner what now? What is a digimon?" Jacob looked at the dog again, examining him. "A digimon partner! I've been waiting for you my entire life and now you've finally come to the digital world!" Caninmon, newly excited, started running circles around Jacob. "Where is the digital world? Am I going to be able to get back to my parents? My friends?" Jacob looked at the sky. "This sky is unlike anything I've ever seen before."

Caninmon nuzzled Jacob's leg. "Don't worry about getting home for now! We've got to find the others, and then you can get home." His nose perked up. "Others? Who are the others?" Jacob asked, now thoroughly confused. "All I wanted was a pizza!" He exclaimed. "We have to keep moving. Flymon is still looking for us and he'll find us if we stay still." Caninmon trotted off in another direction, forcing Jacob to run after the digimon. 'And what is this blue and green device in my hand? So many questions and so few answers!' His hand went into his pocket, where the device lay after he picked it up when Caninmon saved him.

In the Same Jungle, Near a Clifftop

Ally, Michael, and Tiffany were sitting on a large rock in the jungle. The younger two were clearly exhausted while Tiffany was getting short of breath from the amount of walking they had to do. "Where the heck are we?" Michael was getting frustrated at the jungle. "Michael, calm down. None of us know where we are, and I'm sure we'll find a way to get out of here eventually." Ally spoke quietly, hoping to ease Michael's quickly growing temper. "Yeah, we'll find our way out of here! In fact, I thought I saw water earlier, and that's got to be a sign of some sort of civilization." Tiffany stood up again, using her height to her advantage as she looked around for the water again. "Over there! We should start heading that way!" She started moving again and Michael and Ally followed.

The three slowly made their way to the water that Tiffany thought she saw earlier. However, they quickly came to a cliff that fell sharply into a huge ocean. "Well… Scratch that idea, I guess…" Tiffany trailed off and started looking over the cliff. Ally started looking near the edge. "There seems to be a pathway down." She said quietly, getting Michael's attention. "Tiffany, look over here. There's a pathway down." Tiffany quickly walked over to the duo and looked at the narrow path. "That's really small. I hope it's stable." She put one foot on it and it didn't crumble. "It seems to be stable." Ally pointed out and started heading down. "Well, I guess we're going down." Michael chuckled and followed her down while Tiffany slowly went behind him.

About halfway down the path, Ally stopped suddenly. "The path stops here. We have to go back up." She frowned and turned around. Suddenly, the cliff began to shake and the path started to crumble. "HURRY! BACK UP THE CLIFF!" Michael yelled and started pushing Tiffany back up the path. Tiffany quickly started climbing back up the path, moving faster that she ever had gone before. "Almost there!" She yelled back to Ally and Michael.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! WHY DO YOU INVADE MY TERRITORY?" A voice growled from deep within the cliffside. "What was that?" Ally screamed as the path collapsed even more. "GRAAAAAAAAH!" Tiffany, at the top of the cliff, shrieked at the sight of the monster at the top. "DIGMON DOESN'T LIKE INVADERS!" A yellow and black digimon with drills all around its body, giving it many easy ways to dig holes. "PREPARE TO DIE! DRILL BLAST!" Two of the digimon's drills detached and fired themselves like torpedoes at Tiffany and the cliff.

Tiffany quickly dodged to the side and one of the drills flew off of the edge of the cliff. The second drill, however, flew into the cliffside path and knocked Ally and Michael off of the path, sending them falling down to the water below. "DRILL BLAST!" Digmon yelled and fired off two more drills, sending them at Michael and Ally, intending to hit them dead on.

In Michael's back pocket however, the blue and green device began to glow a bright white light, and at the top of the cliff, a tiny voice could be heard yelling, "FRENMON… DIGIVOLVE TOOOOO!" A small white digimon with two antennae jumped out from the bushes and was replaced by a larger gray and white monkey-looking creature. "CHINCHILMON!" Chinchilmon jumped off of the cliff and used its two tails to grab Michael and Ally. Using one of her arms, Chinchilmon also grabbed onto a twig that had been protruding from the cliff. "HURRY WEREMON!" She cried out as the blue and green device in Ally's side pocket began glowing.

A small orange and red colored fluffball jumped off of the cliff as well, aiming for the three on the twig. "WEREMON DIGIVOLOVE TOOOOOO!" She announced and she started glowing. "KANGAMON!" The newly digivolved kangaroo-esque digimon landed on the cliff. "POWERFUL KICK!" Kangamon grabbed a hold of Chinchilmon's free arm and kicked off of the cliff, giving the foursome a circle trajectory, letting them fall back onto the cliff, terrified for their lives. Tiffany stood on the other side of the agitated Digmon, trying to distract it with a tree limb that she had grabbed. "OVER HERE YOU TINY-BRAINED MOLE!" She yelled and smacked it on the head. "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" Digmon turned quickly and drilled a hole in the limb, causing Tiffany to jump back in fear.

"AIEEEE!" She screamed as the digimon advanced on her and prepared another drill blast. On her hair band, however, another blue and green device shined brightly and a third quiet voice could be heard. "COOMON DIGIVOLVE TOOOOOO!" A tiny white blob jumped out from the bushes and was quickly replaced by a bipedal fox creature with brown fur. "AZUREMON!" The digimon jumped in front of Tiffany, assuming a defensive stance. "Do not worry now, Tiffany. I am here to protect you." He spoke, growling quietly. Kangamon and Chinchilmon nodded to Michael and Ally. "That's right! We're your digimon partners and we're gonna get rid of this nasty digimon!" Chinchilmon cheered and began running at the Digmon. "Digmon is going down!" Kangamon made one single jump and landed on top of the drill digimon.

"Powerful kick!" She exclaimed as she landed, stunning Digmon while Chinchilmon readied himself. "Tail spin!" Chinchilmon jumped in the air and turned around while his two tails began spinning around incredible fast, creating an air current that distracted Digmon and forced to move into a better position. "Trian beam!" Azuremon jumped back and thrust his hands out in a triangle pattern. The pattern glowed and shot out a bright blue beam that struck Digmon on his chest, sending the digimon stumbling backwards, tottering near the edge of the cliff. "NO! GET OUT!" It shrieked and fired off another two drill blasts at its feet, breaking the cliff and causing it to begin crumbling. "MOVE NOW!" Tiffany grabbed Ally and began running into the jungle again, with Michael and the three digimon following. Michael turned around at one point to see the Digmon falling into the ocean, creating a large splash and a loud roar from the sea.

Once the three had gone a sizable way into the forest, they came to a halt and turned to look at the digimon. "Yay! That Digmon was one nasty creature!" Chinchilmon cheered and jumped on Michael's shoulder. "What are you little guys?" Ally asked them, bending down to look Kangamon in the eye. "Well, to put it simply, we're your digimon partners!" Kangamon replied eagerly, bouncing and down. "Well, I say that if you can help us get home, that's all good with me!" Ally laughed and patted Kangamon on the head.

Azuremon and Tiffany stared at each other, trying to gauge the other. "Well, you sure did good back there." Tiffany cracked first and smiled, while giving the rookie-level digimon a hug. "It's nothing. I did what I had to do." Azuremon brushed it off. "We must find the other digimon and their partners. It is not safe to stay in one area for very long anymore." He quickly started moving north and the others had no choice but to follow him. "Other partners? Are there other humans here who have befriended digimon?" Tiffany asked. "You could say that!" Kangamon bounced ahead. "And what are these devices?" Michael held his blue and green device up for the three digimon to see. "That's your digivice! It's what helps me digivolve so I can protect you!" Chinchilmon explained to him. "All of the chosen have one and it's what distinguishes them from other humans." Azuremon included and continued walking. "Hm… This will be interesting. Not exactly what I signed up for, but whatever." Ally shrugged and continued onwards, with the other four following her and Azuremon.
