"And so it begins..."
This is the remastered version of The Chosen Children. I noticed I made a few mistakes that I wanted to correct and also not I forgot to upload a chapter. Please enjoy and review!
The scene fades in from black and it was a pure blue sky before there are various letters reflecting different parts of an island on them as they moved across the screen.
Tai is then shown falling through the scene, then Daisuke, Sora, Matt, Izzy, Mimi, Joe and finally TK who fell through the sky.
Soon it shows Koromon turning into Agumon, Chibimon became V-Mon, Yokomon turned into Biyomon, Tsunomon transformed into Gabumon, Motimon turned into Tentomon, Tanemon became Palmon and Bukamon turns into Gomamon.
Next it shows Greymon shooting flames from his mouth, next Lady XV-Mon spun through the air and a beam of light was released from her chest, then Birdramon took to the air as she flapped her wings with flames shooting out, Garurumon jumps through the air shooting out blue flames from his mouth, Kabutrimon is in the sky releasing a ball of electricity from his chest and Togemon is shown spinning around as needles shoot from her body.
Ikkakumon then bursts out of the ocean with Joe on his back, Greymon breaks out of a mountain with Tai watching, Birdramon flies into the sky with a smiling Sora holding onto her ankle, Lady XV-Mon has Daisuke holding onto her waist as they both smile and fly towards the sun, Izzy is on Kabuterimon's back as the bug flies through the air, Matt is mounted on Garurumon as the wolf runs through the forest and Mimi is sitting on Togemon's fist as the cactus walks forward.
TK is then shown looking scared as Angemon then appears behind him, ready to fight.
The humans are all then shown falling through the sky towards a planet that looked to be Earth, but there was a single island on the planet that had a tall mountain.
A shadowed form of Devimon then appeared, roaring as black gears flew around him.
The Digivice was then shown as white digital code shone from the device, different colored lights shining around.
A pillar of rainbow light was then shown as Agumon, V-Mon, Biyomon, Gabumon, Tentomon, Gomamon, Patamon and Palmon were swirled into the pillar.
Greymon then appeared in front of the pillar of light, then came Lady XV-Mon, Birdramon, Garurumon, Kabuterimon, Ikkakumon, Angemon and Togemon.
Koromon, Chibimon, Yokomon, Tsunomon, Tanemon, Bukamon, Tokomon and Motimon were shown standing on a cliff ledge, glaring.
Agumon, V-Mon, Biyomon, Gabumon, Palmon, Gomamon, Patamon and Tentomon were then shown in a forest.
The scene then changed with the Digimon standing around their humans protectively with Biyomon, Patamon and Tentomon in the air as they all stared at Kuwagamon, Meramon, Monzaemon, Seadramon, Shellmon, Numemon and Andromon as they all stepped out from behind the trees and surrounded the group.
Tai was then shown smirking as he raised his fist as the scene moved back showing Sora, TK and Joe on his left while Daisuke, Izzy, Matt and Mimi were on his right, everyone smiling as the word "Digimon" appeared above them in the sky.
It was a beautiful warm day that summer and there were children of all ages running around the camp ground, laughing and smiling.
Sitting under a tree was a girl with mahogany hair, tanned skin, chocolate brown eyes and wore a black spaghetti strapped top that cut off at her belly button, a dark magenta sweater, light wash jeans and pink high tops.
Around her neck was a short gold chain that had a peridot gemstone in a princess cut and her hair was pulled up into a ponytail, her bangs framing her face.
In her lap was a sketch pad that the girl was drawing in, looking over the view of the mountains and was trying to draw it, pouting when she made a mistake and would have to erase the lines and continue with her work.
Above her, resting on a sturdy tree branch was a boy her age with wild brown hair, tanned skin and had coffee colored eyes that were currently closed.
The boy was dressed in a blue t-shirt that had an orange star on each sleeve and three orange buttons while he had on a yellow short sleeved turtleneck underneath.
He also wore a pair of white gloves while his right arm had a black wristband on, and he wore a pair of brown cargo shorts, white socks and had on white shoes with blue markings and finally, he had a blue headband on along with a pair of silver circular goggles perched on his head.
His arms were folded under his head while his left leg was crossed over his right leg as he appeared to be napping in the tree.
Suddenly, a tiny snowflake fell from the sky landing on the boy's nose making him jerk away from the cold touch.
"Huh? Hey, is it raining?" He asked.
Hearing his voice, the girl looked up at her friend with a curious expression on her face.
"What are you talking about? It's not raining." She said making him look down at her.
"Well, I thought I felt a raindrop hit me." The brunette said as he climbed down the tree.
The girl narrowed her eyes in confusion when suddenly, another snowflake fell from the sky making her stare at it in wonder.
"Huh? Is it snowing?" She asked holding her hand out to feel the flakes that fell as clouds began to move in front of the sun and snowflakes fell from the sky.
"Freaky, snow in summer." The boy said as he looked around.
Kids all around the camp noticed it was snowing and stared in awe at the sight, then suddenly the wind picked up and blew harshly around the campgrounds.
"What is going on?!" The girl cried out as she stood up and held her sketchpad to her chest while her hair blew around her head.
"Come on!" Taichi 'Tai' Kamiya called as he reached out and grabbed his friend Daisuke Motomiya's arm.
Running through the wind and snow, the two friends ran towards one of the cabins, barely noticing two girls their age along with a tall boy, a short redheaded boy and a blond boy helping who looked like a younger version of himself into the cabin.
Once he was sure that all eight kids had made it safely inside the wooden cabin, Tai slammed the door closed as everyone inside relaxed.
"Man, what a strange storm." One of the girls, Sora Takenouchi, spoke.
She had short orange colored hair, tanned skin, crimson red eyes and was dressed in a sleeveless yellow turtle neck that had white around the neck and waistline.
On her head was a blue helmet and she had on dark pink gloves, a pair of jeans and had on black shoes with red markings.
"How odd. This blizzard came out of nowhere. Logically, it should be impossible." Koushiro 'Izzy' Izumi frowned.
He was a short boy with lightly tanned skin, ebony eyes and had spikey dark red hair.
The boy wore a button up orange shirt and had on a pair of yellow gloves, beige colored pants that had a green tint to them, lime green socks and black shoes with purple markings.
Tucked under his arm was a gray and yellow laptop that he carried around everywhere he went.
Joe Kido, the oldest kid in the group, had dark blue hair, pale skin and obsidian eyes while he had a pair of glasses perched on his nose and wore a lavender colored t-shirt with a creme colored sweater vest over it, gray shorts, blue socks and his shoes were red and white.
On his left wrist was a green watch while his right wrist had a yellow band.
Mimi Tachikawa, the youngest girl in the cabin, had strawberry blonde hair, caramel colored eyes and she had a fair skin tone.
She wore a light pink cowgirl hat on her head, a dark pink dress, brown gloves and white boots with brown markings.
Yamato 'Matt' Ishida had golden blond hair, azure blue eyes and fair skin and he was wearing a sleeveless green turtleneck, dark colored jeans, brown boots and brown gloves.
Takeru 'TK' Takaishi had golden blond hair as well with sun kissed skin, azure colored eyes and was wearing a dark green helmet with lime green lines on it and had a sapphire gemstone in the center.
He wore a lime green shirt on underneath a dark green sleeveless hoodie, brown shorts, light green socks and had on a pair of green and white shoes.
"Hey, Matt, why did it start snowing all of a sudden?" TK asked.
"I'm not sure. It's weird." Matt said as he stared out the window.
"Ugh, it looks awful out there." Mimi stated.
"So, what are we gonna do now?" Joe asked.
"I guess we'll have to wait the storm out." Tai sighed.
"This is gonna be boring." Daisuke sighed.
The group of eight all sat inside as they waited for the storm to end, Matt and TK sitting together while Joe was near Mimi, and Izzy was typing away on his laptop by the window and Sora was sitting with Tai and Daisuke huddled in a corner.
They listened to the howling winds outside for what felt like hours until finally, everything went quiet.
"Hm. Hey, listen. It sounds like the storm's stopped." Sora said.
"Now what?" Daisuke asked.
"Let's go check it out." Tai said.
Standing up, the group looked outside the windows and saw that the sun was shining up in the sky.
"Wait, you're not gonna go outside, are you? You could get sick." Joe warned.
"Stop worrying." Tai said as he pushed the door open.
Everyone gasped as they gathered around the door to see that everything was covered in a blanket of snow, the fresh powder sparkling in the light.
"Whoa. I guess canoe races are canceled, so let's have toboggan races instead!" Tai laughed as he ran outside.
"I'm gonna build the biggest snowman!" TK giggled as he bounced out.
"Hey, TK, be careful! Slow down!" Matt called as he ran out after his brother.
"Brr! It's freezing and I didn't even bring a jacket." Sora said as she walked out rubbing her arms to keep warm.
The cold air hit Daisuke making her shiver and sneezed as soon as she stepped outside.
"Man, I hate the cold." She complained as she continued walking outside and pulled her sweater closer around her body.
Joe stood in the doorway, a look of hesitation on his face as he looked at the snow.
"Man. I was worried I'd catch a summer cold, but this is even worse!" He complained.
"Wow!" Mimi gasped with a big smile as she came up beside Joe to look outside at the snow, then ran out herself, the blue haired boy following the girl.
"Why didn't I pack my fluffy pink snow boots?" Mimi asked.
While everyone else was outside admiring the snow, Izzy was inside on his laptop, still trying to get it to work.
Looking around curiously, the mahogany haired girl then noticed the reflection of green lights shining on the snow.
Following the trail of the reflection, her eyes grew wide at what she saw.
"Wow, what is that?" Daisuke gasped when she looked up into the sky.
Following her gaze, the rest of the group all exclaimed in awe at the sight of the green lights floating across the sky.
"Hey, what's your name? Izzy, come out here, you've gotta see this!" Tai called.
The redhead then closed his laptop as he then walked outside of the cabin to see what everyone was staring at and was just as stunned as the rest of the kids.
"It's beautiful. Magical even." Mimi smiled.
"Yeah, but what is it?" Izzy asked as he walked over.
"Maybe an aurora?" Sora questioned.
"You mean 'aurora borealis' the northern lights, but that's impossible. You see that in Alaska. We're way too far south." Izzy explained.
"Tell that to the snow." Sora retorted.
"I really think we all oughta get back inside before we all come down with ammonia." Joe exclaimed.
"And miss this? The sky is, like, short circuiting." Matt said.
"Hey, what's that?" Tai asked as the lights began to swirl around and then shot out orange flames down at the eight children.
"Do you think we need sunscreen?" Mimi asked making Daisuke give her a look of disbelief.
Everyone stood their ground as the fireballs hit the ground, causing small explosions, debris and snow to fly up all around them, some of the kids had even dived to the ground to avoid getting hit by the fireballs.
After a few minutes, it was all over and everyone rose from their spots on the ground or lowered their arms from their heads to protect themselves from the blasts.
"Everyone, are you all right?" Sora asked as she stood up.
"We're still here." Matt said as he was kneeled beside TK, his arms covering him protectively.
"That was scary!" Mimi said clutching her pink cowgirl hat.
"Really freaky." Daisuke said as she sat on her knees, brushing snow off her head.
"W-What was that?" Joe asked scared.
"Meteors?" Izzy suggested as he crawled over to one of the holes to search for the fireballs.
Just then, white lights shot up out of the holes, and there were devices inside the lights that slowly rose up in front of each child who stared at them in awe.
Tai was the first to grip one of the devices in his hands, so everyone else followed his example when they saw that it was safe to touch them.
Once the white lights faded away, the kids all opened their hands to see that the devices were small and shaped a bit like a four pointed star, except the ends weren't sharp and were smooth, while the device itself was a light blue color.
"Okay, so it's not meteors." Izzy mumbled.
"What…are these?" Sora asked.
"My guess is some sort of remote digital apparatus." Izzy said.
"I think they look like some kind of game." Daisuke mused.
"No instructions?" Matt asked.
"Forget the instructions, surf's up!" Tai yelled pointing to the end of the cliff they were standing on.
A large green wave rose up into the air and surged towards the eight children making them all cry out when they were hit, but instead of getting wet, they were swept up into the air by some invisible force.
"I knew I should have went to cheerleading caaaammmmmp!" Mimi yelled.
The sky had turned black as different colored lines seemed to swirl around as the group were all being pulled along the path.
During the ride, everyone soon blacked out.
(Later on...)
Tai and Daisuke were both lying beside each other, the two 13 year olds unconsious in the middle of a forest.
Two creatures then approached their bodies and smiled at the sight of the two humans.
"Tai! Yoo hoo, Tai." A soft male voice called.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Tai said as his eyes slowly fluttered open.
"Daisuke, wake up." A female voice called.
Groaning, Daisuke turned over on her side as she faught the need to wake up.
"Mm, I don't wanna go to school today." She whined.
The two kids then woke up and were stunned to see two creatures in front of their faces, both creatures having large red eyes.
One of the creatures was a pink head with floppy ears and tiny fangs poking out of his mouth with large light red eyes.
And the second creature appeared to be a baby dragon with a blue body, white face and white stomach with tiny feet and paws while she had large scarlet eyes and a tiny tail and floppy ears.
Jumping back, Tai and Daisuke screamed at the sight of the creatures, both tumbling down the hill in shock as they stared at them.
"What the heck?!" Daisuke yelled.
"That is the last time I eat camp food!" Tai declared thinking he was hallucinating.
Giggling, the two creatures bounced over to the two humans.
"Hey, you don't need to be afraid of me. I'm your friend, I'm your friend, I'm your friend!" the pink monster grinned as he bounced up and down.
"Yeah, we're your friends. We won't hurt ya." The blue monster chirped.
"Just what are you? Have you had your rabie shots?" Tai asked.
"Everything's gonna be all right now, Tai. I've been waiting for you." The pink monster said as he jumped into Tai's hands.
"Ah, waiting for me?" Tai asked as he stared at the creature, disturbed.
Daisuke was hidding behind her friend, staring at the monsters unsure of how to react at all.
"I'm so happy to finally meet you, Daisuke. I've been waiting my whole life to see you!" The dragon cheered as she jumped into the girl's arms making the girl yelp.
"What-Who are you guys?" Daisuke asked.
"My name's Koromon and we're partners, Tai!" The pink monster cheered.
"And I'm Chibimon! I'm your partner, Daisuke!" The dragon blushed happily.
"Koromon? That means talking head?" Tai asked.
"It means brave little warrior and don't forget it, Tai." Koromon grinned up at his human.
"Stop showing off." Chibimon pouted at her friend.
Daisuke then lifted her hand up and pinched her cheek making herself whine in pain.
"Daisuke, what are you doing?" Tai asked the girl.
"Trying to wake myself up. There's no way this can be real." Daisuke denied as she shook her head.
Shaking his head at her, the boy then turns his attention back to the monster he held.
"So what did you mean you've been waiting on us? And how did you know our names?" Tai asked.
"Tai?" Someone called.
The two kids turned around to see Izzy had stepped out from behind a moss covered tree with a stressed look on his face.
"Hey, look, it's Izzy." Daisuke blinked.
"It's me and I've got this little pink thing following me everywhere." Izzy said.
Stepping out from behind the boy was what appeared to be a pink blob with wide brown eyes and a cheerful smile.
"It is me, Motimon, at your service. Anybody want lunch?" He asked.
Tai and Daisuke both yelped at the sight of the monster, Tai dropping Koromon who bounced off while Daisuke held Chibimon up as a shield.
"Another one? What are they?" Tai asked.
"Weird monster things." Daisuke whimpered.
"Oh, allow me to introduce myself. My friends call me Motimon. Everyone does actually." He said.
"I believe those minature remote digital gadgets have taken on an actual life form. I don't remember anything like this in the camp broshure." Izzy placed his hands on his hips.
"Well, I sure as heck didn't sign up for this." Daisuke frowned with her hands on her hips while Chibimon sat on her shoulder.
"This is weird." Tai glanced around the forest.
"The vegetation is lush, but the soil appears rather common." Izzy observed.
"Nothing is common in Digi-World." Motimon stated.
"That's right, Tai, you're in the Digi-World." Koromon chirped.
"It's our home." Chibimon smiled.
"Whoa." Daisuke exclaimed in awe as she took in the sights.
"And just where is the Digi-World?" Tai asked.
"I don't care so much where it is; I wanna know what it is." Izzy said.
"Guess I'll just take a look around for myself." Tai said as he walked over to a tree.
"Careful up there!" Daisuke called as she, Izzy and the three creatures watched him climb.
Once he was sitting on a sturdy branch, the brunette pulled out a mini telescope and began observing the area around him.
"The ocean? What's that doing there? Our campsite was no where near the ocean. And I sure don't remember those mountains. Hm, something tells me a compass isn't gonna help much." Tai said.
Koromon then bounced up the tree, using his ears to pull himself up and landed on the branch beside the brunette.
"Hey, Tai, what do ya see?" Koromon asked.
"Nothing I recognize. Huh? Wait. What's that?" Tai asked as he looked through his telescope.
A large red beetle with a green stomach and had black markings on his body with four arms and two legs while it had pincers on his face was flying through the sky, screeching as it did so.
"Look at that. It's some sort of giant red beetle. And it's flying right at us!" Tai gasped.
Pulling the telescope away, Tai saw how close the beetle was, so he and Koromon both ducked down as the beetle crashed into the tree, breaking the top half off.
"Oh no, Tai! Get down from there!" Daisuke yelled as she, Izzy, Motimon and Chibimon watched in horror.
"I can't watch! That is one seriously bad Digimon, even when he's in a good mood!" Motimon covered his eyes as he shivered.
"That's just great." Izzy mumbled nervously.
"This is gonna be bad." Chibimon glared.
"Watch out!" Koromon yelled as the beetle circled around and flew towards him and Tai.
"His name is Kuwagamon. He's an insectoid Digimon. Vicious and ruthless, with teeth like knives and scissor hands that can cut through anything." Chibimon explained.
"Who needs a gardener?" Tai whimpered as Kuwagamon neared.
Jumping into the air, Koromon spat out some acid bubbles that popped in Kuwagamon's face, but the pink creature slammed into the bug's head and cried out as he started falling to the ground.
Kuwagamon knocked into the tree and Tai cried out as he fell off the branch he was on and landed harshly on the ground.
"Tai, you okay?" Izzy asked as he and Daisuke ran over to the brunette.
"Well, I have had better days." Tai gritted his teeth.
Yelling was heard as Koromon landed on the ground, bouncing.
"Little guy! You should pick on bugs your own size. What's your name? Koromon?" Tai asked as he picked the little monster up.
"That's me." Koromon said.
"You're pretty brave for a little guy. I'm impressed." Tai smiled.
"It was nothing." Koromon smiled bashfully.
Chibimon then crawled on top of Daisuke's head, staring at the two partners, wishing that she and the mahogany haired girl would be close one day and have moments like that.
"Uh, Tai, he's heading this way again!" Izzy pointed to the sky where they heard Kuwagamon.
"Great, we're gonna be bug food." Daisuke glared.
"Oh dear, oh dear. Quickly everyone!" Motimon waved as he ran off.
"Come on!" Tai called as the group ran off.
Running through the forest, the group heard Kuwagamon chasing after them, trees breaking as he charged into them.
"Hurry up! For having two long legs, you three are awfully slow!" Motimon whined.
He then stopped in the middle of the forest in front of a tall tree with a large trunk and turned back to the humans.
"Inside this tree!" Motimon waved as he jumped through the tree making the humans gasp.
"Let's go!" Tai grabbed Izzy's arm and nudged Daisuke forward as the trio jumped inside of the tree.
Roaring was heard from outside the tree while the three humans looked around the inside of the tree with awe.
It appeared to be made of metal and there was light shining down from above them.
"What kind of tree is this?" Izzy asked.
"It's a hidding tree, silly." Motimon said.
"Hidding tree? What's that?" Daisuke asked.
"It's a tree that you hide in." Chibimon stated cheerfully making the girl sweat drop.
Hearing the roar of the giant insect echoing from outside, the group all ducked down onto their knees and held their arms over their heads.
"Quiet now. Don't make a sound." Koromon whispered.
Everyone remained silent as they listened to the sound of the angry roars and screeches from Kuwagamon.
It was tense, the group of six were all trying hard to remain silent as they waited for the roars to pass.
Finally, after a few more minutes, there was no more sound and all was silent.
"All clear! No need to hide anymore." A familiar voice called making the group jump.
Standing up, the group stuck their heads through the tree and were relieved to see that Sora was standing in front of them, smiling.
"Sora!" Tai greeted.
"You can come out now." She said.
"Oh, we were just planning the trap that we were gonna set for that big bug." Tai said, then he, Izzy and Daisuke looked down when they saw a new Digimon.
It appeared to be a pink bud with large green eyes and had a dark blue flower on top of her head with a red antenna sticking out and to curl as the creature purred and she had tentacles for feet.
"I am enchanted to meet you friends of Sora. Welcome." She smiled.
"Tai, Izzy, Daisuke. Meet Yokomon. My own personal something or other." Sora said as everyone stared at the plant creature.
"Looks kind of like a radish." Tai commented.
"It must be another one of them, like the other...whatever they are." Izzy said as everyone stared at Koromon, Motimon and Chibimon.
Just then, a white four legged creature with tiny floppy ears ran out of the bushes making everyone gasp.
"Look, there's another one!" Daisuke pointed.
"They're popping up everywhere." Izzy stated.
"Hello, I am Tokomon. Hey TK, over here." The white Digimon called.
"Coming!" A young voice called.
TK then brushed the bushes back as he searched for Tokomon and giggled when his eyes landed on the Digimon before he then ran over to him.
"Tokomon, there you are!" TK giggled.
"TK!" Matt yelled as he ran after his little brother, a creature tucked underneath his arm.
"Hey, Matt, you too?" Tai blinked.
"Yeah, I'm here too." Matt confirmed.
"No, I meant that under your arm." Tai corrected.
"Oh, this guy? Yeah, well..." The blond trailed off.
Everyone stared at the orange head that had a beige colored face, scarlet eyes and a black horn on his head.
"Hello, you appear pleasant. Tsunomon is the name and I'm quite pleased to meet you." He blushed.
TK was hugging Tokomon when suddenly a shout was heard making everyone turn towards the direction of the shout to see Joe running towards them.
There was a small dragon like creature that was gray, had a white stomach, blue eyes and a tuft of orange hair on top his head who was chasing after the frightened boy.
"Joe?" Tai gasped.
"Help me! This thing-This thing...it won't leave me alone." Joe whined.
"Hey, who're you calling a thing? I'm no stuffed animal. The name is Bukamon." The dragon said as he leaned on Joe's shoulder.
Spotting the dragon, Joe screamed making Bukamon laugh when the bluenette suddenly noticed that no one else was reacting to the strange creature.
"What's wrong with you guys? Don't you see this creature hanging off me? And those things down there?" Joe pointed at the other Digimon, then paused as he yelped and reeled back in shock.
"They-They're everywhere! What are they?" He asked.
"We're…" Bukamon trailed off as he floated over to the other In-Trainings.
"Digimon! Digital monsters!" The group of seven announced.
"Digital monsters?" Tai asked as the others stared at the Digimon, stunned.
"Yes, Digimon." The group smiled.
"We're not just digital monsters; we're much more than that. We're also kinda cute." Koromon said.
"And very loyal." Tsunomon blushed bashfully.
"With beautiful hair." Yokomon said as her antenna attached to the flower on her head seemed to curl.
"Or maybe no hair at all." Motimon smiled.
"And we can be funny. Ha!" Bukamon laughed.
"And adorable." Tokomon chirped.
"And don't forget cool!" Chibimon sang.
"It's a pleasure to meet each of you. My name's Tai and these are my friends from camp. I'd like you to meet Sora." Tai started the introductions.
"Nice place you have here, except for the bugs." Sora smiled with her hands folded behind her back.
"The self-proclaimed cool one over there is Matt." Tai joked.
"No autographs, please." Matt smiled with his hands in his pockets.
"This is Joe." Tai continued.
"I'd shake your hand…if you had any." Joe smiled politely.
"Izzy here is our computer expert." Tai said.
"Do you have any internet access?" Izzy asked.
"This right here is Daisuke." Tai told them.
"Hey, nice to meet cha!" Daisuke grinned.
"And last but not least, this little guy is, uh…" Tai trailed off as he looked at the little boy, unsure of his name.
"TK. Call me TK, and I'm not as small as I look." He smiled.
"There now, is that everybody?" Tai asked as he glanced around the group.
"Hey, what happened to that girl with the funny pink hat?" Sora asked.
"Now, now. Her name is Mimi." Tai chided.
"Well, perhaps she's off picking flowers or on a nature walk." Izzy suggested.
"Ahh! Somebody please help me!" A familiar voice cried out.
"You were saying?" Daisuke frowned at Izzy.
Everyone then took off running towards the sound of the girl's screaming, worried about her and hoping nothing bad happened.
"Okay, so she's not picking flowers." Izzy muttered.
"Mimi! Where are you?" Tai called.
From around a thick line of trees, Mimi came running out with a geen budlike Digimon following behind her.
The Digimon had a leaf on top her head, a beige face, four tiny paws and large brown eyes which were wide with fear.
"There she is." Sora said.
"It's okay; you don't have to be afraid." Tai smiled.
Just then, a huge red beetle flew out from around the trees making the group pause in horror at the sights of the Digimon.
"It's that big bug again!" Tai gasped.
Kuwagamon flew at the group making them all cover their heads with their arms for protection as the beetle then flew into the trees behind them.
"Mimi, are you all right?" The plant Digimon asked the girl clad in pink who was sitting on her knees.
"Think so." Mimi sighed.
"Don't worry. Tanemon's here to protect you." The Digimon comforted.
"It's okay now." Sora ran over and placed a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Oh, Sora." Mimi said.
"Watch it, here he comes!" Tai announced as Kuwagamon flew over to them.
Everyone quickly started running away from the beetle that roared as it gave chase.
"Down!" Matt yelled as he pushed TK to the ground and everyone else dove to the floor.
Kuwagamon swooped over them, his claws close to grazing their backs.
"Will this nightmare never end? My mom is gonna want a complete and total refund!" Joe said.
"We're being chased by a mutant insect that's trying to kill us and that's what you're worried about?" Daisuke yelled.
"Here he comes again!" Yokomon warned.
"Okay, that does it. No more running away!" Tai glared as he clenched his fist.
"What else can we do?" Sora asked.
"She's right. There's no way we can fight that thing." Matt said.
"And not win anyway." Izzy added.
The group jumped onto their feet and started running off once again, panting as they rushed to escape from the dangerous monster.
As they broke through the trees, they all skidded to a stop and gasped when they saw what was in front of them.
They had been chased towards a cliff that was high up and jutted out over a raging river below.
"Great, anyone bring a helicopter?" Matt quipped.
"Be careful, Tai." Sora said as the goggle head walked closer and peered down the cliff for any ledges to climb down on.
Seeing none, he hung his head in defeat and then turned to the others.
"There's no way down. We're going to have to find another way." Tai announced.
"Another way where?" Sora asked.
Kuwagamon then burst through the tree line making the group scream as they ran towards the cliff and then ducked down to avoid being grabbed by the bug as he flew over them.
"Watch out, Tai!" Sora called as the brunette started running away from the beetle.
"Here I go!" Koromon jumped up and went over Tai's head, blasting Kuwagamon with his acid bubbles.
The attack had little effect as Kuwagamon flew upwards and Koromon cried out as he hit the ground.
"Not again." Tai said as Kuwagamon recovered and flew towards the group.
"Digimon attack!" Yokomon called as all the Digimon jumped up and spat out their acid bubbles.
Chibimon was the only one who couldn't use acid bubbles, and instead, jumped up and rammed her head into Kuwagamon's side.
"Chibimon!" Daisuke cried.
"Yokomon!" Sora yelled.
All the Digimon hit the ground from Kuwwagamon slashing at them with his claws while the beetle crash landed in the trees behind them.
"Yokomon!" Sora called as Daisuke ran over and scooped up Chibimon while Tai held Koromon and the other humans ran to tend to their own partners.
"Koromon, are you crazy? Why'd you do it?" Tai asked.
"Sorry. It's just… I'm trying to make a good impression." Koromon said sadly.
"Crazy guy." Tai commented.
"Chibimon, are you okay?" Daisuke asked.
"Hey." Chibimon smiled weakly up at her human.
"Oh, Yokomon." Sora said as she held her partner.
"Tanemon, talk to me." Mimi held Tanemon on her lap.
"They must be programed for courage." Izzy said worried as he held Motimon.
"Tokomon, what's wrong?" TK lifted Tokomon up.
"Hey, Tsunomon, wake up." Matt called as he held his partner.
"Bukamon, wake up." Joe called as he held the dragon.
Roaring was then heard as Kuwagamon burst from the forest making everyone gasp at the sight.
"Get back!" Matt yelled as everyone ran towards the cliff end where Tai was standing.
"I was hoping we'd seen the last of him." Sora said.
"Me too, but I guess he had other plans, huh?" Tai stared at the bug as it stepped closer, its pincers clamping together.
"Ugh, I knew I should have brought my bug spray." Matt groaned.
"Okay, get ready to run." Tai said.
"No, we fight." Koromon said surprising everyone.
"Huh?" Tai asked.
"That's right. It's the only way. Stand and fight." Koromon yelled.
"Give it up, will ya?" Tai told him.
"No, Koromon's right. It's time that we show what we're made of." Motimon tried to struggle out of Izzy's hands.
"No, don't." Izzy protested.
"They're right." Yokomon told Sora.
"No way. It's hopeless. You're no match for him, Yokomon." The orangette frowned.
"We can do it. Let me go, let me go, let me go! We can do it!" Tsunomon tried to escape Matt's grip while Tokomon growled and TK struggled to hold him back.
"Let me go, let me, let me go!" Bukamon tried to flap his flippers to escape as Joe held him around the chest.
"Tanemon, you too?" Mimi asked.
"Uh huh." Tanemon nodded.
"Chibimon?" Daisuke asked the dragon.
"I'll be fine, Daisuke. Don't worry about it." Chibimon smiled.
"I'm sorry, Tai. Let's go!" Koromon called as all the Digimon jumped out of their partners' arms.
All of them ran or bounced towards Kuwagamon, every one of them determined to protect their new human friends.
"Come on, Digimon!" Koromon called.
"It's useless! Yokomon!" Sora yelled.
"Don't go, Motimon!" Izzy called.
"No, wait! Don't do it, Tsunomon!" Matt called after him.
"Don't go!" TK called at Tokomon.
"Turn around! Come back, Bukamon!" Joe yelled.
"Tanemon, be careful!" Mimi called.
"Chibimon!" Daisuke shouted.
"No, don't, Koromon! Come back!" Tai screamed as he ran after him.
As the other humans stepped forward to run after their Digimon, their devices all glowed and started to beep as the sky turned dark and thunder rumbled as rainbow colored lights shot down from the sky.
The lights all fell down on the eight Digimon making everyone gasp and stare in awe as the little monsters started to glow and grow.
"Koromon digivolve too… AGUMON!"
Agumon was a yellow-orange lizard with emerald green eyes and a short tail.
"Chibimon digivolve too... V-MON!"
V-Mon had a cat shaped body that was sky blue with white trailing from under her black kitten nose down to her stomach, she had a dragon's tail and ears while she had large scarlet eyes which had a yellow triangle under them and had a yellow V on her forehead, had five fingered hands with white claws and had cat like feet.
"Yokomon digivolve too… BIYOMON!"
Biyomon was a pink bird with pink claws, a red beak and had blue eyes while she had a pink and blue antenna/feather on top of her head and had blue markings on her head while her right ankle had a silver cuff.
"Motimon digivolve too... TENTOMON!"
Tentomon was a burgundy red beetle with large green eyes, yellow antenna, black spots and had a green chest.
"Tsunomon digivolve too… GABUMON!"
Gabumon was a yellow lizard with a bit of a canine appearance with the blue stripped fur he wore, red eyes, a golden horn on his head, floppy ears and his stomach had blue and pink markings.
"Tokomon digivolve too… PATAMON!"
Patamon was a small orange creature with tiny legs and the bottom half of his body was yellow, his eyes were blue and he had wings for ears.
"Bukamon digivolve too… GOMAMON!"
Gomamon was a white seal with floppy ears, an orange mane of hair, green eyes and purple markings on his body.
"Tanemon digivolve too… PALMON!"
Palmon was a green lizard/plant hybrid with a magenta and yellow flower on her head and she had dark green eyes.
All the lights faded to reveal the newly evolved Digimon as everyone stared in awe at the transformations.
"What in the-? Look at them. What's happened to the little guys?" Sora asked.
"They're bigger." Tai said.
One by one, all the Digimon jumped up at Kuwagamon, but he back handed them to the ground.
"All right then, you asked for it." Agumon growled.
As Kuwagamon started to fly into the air, Palmon used her Poison Ivy to drag him to the ground.
Patamon flew up and used Boom Bubble, then V-Mon used V-Headbutt to knock Kuwagamon down onto his knees while Tentomon followed up with Super Shocker.
Bending on one knee, Kuwagamon was then tripped onto both when Gomamon rolled under his legs, knocking him down.
"Stand back everyone." Agumon warned as he used Pepper Breath.
Gabumon used Blue Blaster and Biyomon took to the air to use Spiral Twister, the attacks creating flames on Kuwagamon's head as he roared in pain.
"Now, all together!" Agumon ordered as the Digimon released their attacks.
They hit Kuwagamon in the chest and flames erupted making the beetle stumble back and fall into the forest, defeated.
Everyone was silent as they stared at the Digimon in awe.
"They made vapourware out of him." Izzy said.
"Amazing." Tai breathed.
"Tai, I told you we could do it!" Agumon laughed as Tai laughed and caught the dinosaur in a hug.
"Koromon! Or Agumon. Whoever you are, you did it, you did it!" Tai cheered.
Everyone laughed as they celebrated, though Matt appeared to be startled by Gabumon's attention and Joe fixed his glasses as he stared down at Gomamon.
"How about that Super Shocker? Pretty wizard, huh?" Tentomon joked as Izzy gave him a thumb's up.
"So, what do ya think?" V-Mon winked up at Daisuke.
"Not too shabby." Daisuke returned the wink.
Just then, Kuwagamon burst out of the forest yet again making everyone gasp as they turned to face the beetle who appeared to be even more angry than before.
"Watch out!" Sora yelled.
"Guess we celebrated too soon." Tai said.
Kuwagamon then stabbed his pincers into the ground, cracks appearing and the cliff broke, everyone standing on it crying out as they were sent plummeting into the ocean below them.
