A/N - I've always loved digimon ever since it first aired and I've had numerous ideas float through my head yet never enough to follow them through. So this will be my version of adventure 01 with some differences and an extended cast. E.G. The characters being slightly older, Kari being there from the start etc. Anywhom enough about that. Time to get on with the show. Hope you enjoy.

Summercamp. A place of undisputed enjoyment, never ending fun and complete freedom from the ever observant eyes of both parents and the teachers whom took guardianship during each school term. It was those few facts that ensured most students went along for the ride even those whose studies were the top of their agender. The result of that being a large mix match of students using every ounce of their vocal range to fill the camp with laughter while speeding along the green landscape that their tents resided. Normally such a large class would warrant a fair amount of teachers however due to budget cuts and a spout of illness among the faculty only six had joined, each having around sixty children to look after. It was save to say that the children were running the show.

Due to such a shortage of adults the children were required to stay in groups of around seven to ten apparently for safety reasons though of course in truth it made their guardians jobs much easier too. To that effect eight children found themselves by a small wooden cabin which over looked the camp. Two children stood in the doorway the older male staring through a small telescope that had been gifted by his father on his fourteenth birthday just a few weeks before. Tai was a boy who would fight for what he believed in no matter the odds nor who his opponent was. The other meanwhile tugged on his sleeve her face forced into a smile of innocence belonging to none other than Tai's younger sister Kari who at that point was eleven and in the words of his mother an angel. She was the type of girl who would find an injured animal and take it home to care for. With a sigh he handed his device over Kari gleefully snatching it much to the amusement of another female a few feet away.

The culprit being Sora who stood awkwardly with her hands in her back pockets head tilted to the side. She was for the lack of a better word a tomboy enjoying mostly soccer which her mother still forbid her to join the team of even at fourteen years of age. Stereotypically Tai assumed that tomboys were quite boyish hence the name but Sora, he thought Sora was beautiful. Feeling his face twist into a grin he stuck his tongue out to try and cover his response in which Sora followed with a hand movement that Kari had yet to understand but knew by her brothers increasingly red face that it wasn't a friendly one. The two girls laughed as if on cue no words being exchanged at they stood side by side creating a sort of triangle with Tai at the tip.

Only seconds passed before another child ran through the group. TK mouthed a sorry as he pushed past the trio his blonde hair swaying slightly with his movement against the wind. A hand brushed the back of his top only missing by millimeters earning a cheer from TK and a grunt from the older male who was trying to grab him which turned out to be his brother Matt the two sharing the same ages as Kari and Tai respectively. While only fourteen Matt was classed as the coolest member of his year group mainly due to his part time membership of a band which he'd been apart of for around seven months. TK on the otherhand was like Kari a sweet kid whom tried to see the good in others even when others had lost all hope. Matt said he was gullible TK liked to think he was keeping a positive outlook. Either way the two were more concerned in that moment with their game of tag. It was apparent Matt was it.

Kari watched in mild amusement her gaze following the two to a small tree a couple of meters away where a young boy sat cross legged with his back against the oak a laptop situated on his lap. His fingers tapped along the keys as if he was playing an instrument seemingly working as if they had a mind of their own. Their owner if Kari remembered correctly was called Izzy. A somewhat self taught computer whiz whose intelligence exceeded those years above him with Izzy being a year younger than Tai. That said he was more of the loner type whether through choice or fear she wasn't sure yet he seemed polite enough. Ironically the only other member of the group who was the same age as him couldn't be more different. Her name was Mimi and unlike Izzy she didn't shy from anyone. She made it her purpose to talk and to continue to talk until she ran out of oxygen which unfortunately for most she seemed to have an endless supply of. The only thing she could never be called was a liar. Mimi had a tendency to say exactly how she was feeling or what she thought whether or not it was the right thing to say. She was never purposefully mean just honest.

Mimi at that point in time was talking to Joe whom was the oldest of the group at fifteen however being the oldest didn't mean he was the most fearless. Joe was practically a walking bucket of nerves who while reliable needed to learn to have fun. He'd packed food, bandages, gloves, bug spray and various other much needed equipment yet thought nothing of bringing a ball or a console to play instead bringing his school books so that he could continue to study. Joe so far during the visit had studied for seven hours a day hence his disapproving glare at the oblivious still talking Mimi who stood directly in the way of his text books that he'd only studied for three hours that morning.

"But I didn't say she looked bad just that the dress looked awful in the light." she exclaimed with a pout ignoring Joe's annoyance as she waited for an answer.

"Mimi I don't know why you think I would know about dresses. I need to study. We have finals when we get back. Do you know how much rides on our finals? If I fail I might have to join the circus."

"I like the circus. It's so colourful."

"Colourful? It's colourful? I don't want to join the circus I want to be a doctor."

"Then be a doctor."

"I can't just be a doctor. There's courses and studies and exams and finals that you are in the way of me learning." he stuttered becoming increasingly frustrated as more time passed yet the only reaction he got out of Mimi was a shrug before she walked towards Sora who was the only one who fully listened to her stories even if she didn't understand a word she said at times.

"Guys look!" yelled TK who had stopped so suddenly Matt collided into the back of him sending them both colliding to the ground in a heap.

"Sorry." the older sibling muttered forcing himself back to his feet jumping as a snowflake drifted across his neck. "Whoa it's snowing."

"That's what I was trying to tell you before you sent me flying."

"Its snowing in July?" Sora asked clearly confused along with the rest of the group who had automatically grouped together minus one each in awe as snow flurried around their small forms followed by a series of lights which illuminated the sky above them.

"The connection is gone. Impossible." Izzy muttered tapping his laptop key somehow unaware of the event around him.

"Um Izzy you might wanna look up." Tai suggested pointing as he spoke.

"I should have packed a thicker jumper." Joe stated teeth chattering. "I'm going to catch a cold or worse frostbite. That can cause a lost limb you know."

"Joe I think your going to be fine." Matt soothed with a grin holding in his laughter.

"Is that the Aurora thing?" Kari asked raising an eyebrow at Tai who shook his head showing that he didn't have an idea.

"Fascinating. You mean Aurora Borealis?" Izzy began.

"The northern lights right?" Mimi added scratching the top of her head in thought. The movement being more for dramatic effect than any true purpose.

"Yes that is it's common name but no we are too far south." he finished placing his laptop into his backpack which hung tightly to him thanks to two straps one on each shoulder.

"Look out!" shouted Sora diving into Mimi to place her out of harms way.

Eight lights began to outgrow the rest until they fell directly towards the children who attempted to shield themselves from the blast, Tai and Matt covered their younger siblings with their own bodies though thankfully suffered no harm, Sora had of cause dived Mimi out of the way and Joe had curdled up into a ball while Izzy had watched the event uphold as if watching fireworks. A small layer of fog dispersed at their feet as the group of eight regained their composure quickly checking that they were all safe. The scene was motionless like a still image had been taken and caused all of them to freeze into place. Though somewhat peaceful Izzy was the first to break the silence.

"Meteors." he muttered shaking his head at Tai whom could practically see the young male's brain gearing into action. That was until the same eight stars that had fallen levitated in front of each member of the group albeit a lot smaller than they had been when initially falling. "Okay so they're not meteors."

"What are they?" asked Sora who felt herself taking the had been star which now looked like a handheld device into her palms like she had no control over her body.

"My guess some sort of miniature remote digital apparatus." the intelligent male answered absentmindedly.

"Aliens. It's aliens." Joe gasped biting his bottom lip.

"Be careful they might be hot." Matt stated stretching out his arm to stop TK from grabbing the device in front of him.

"It's cold." Mimi said having already picked her own device and was twisting it over repeatedly in her hand while Tai hit the back of his with his palm and an annoyed expression.

"Tai what's that?" asked Kari her voice becoming louder as a giant wave seemingly appeared from thin air covering the group in a thin layer of water that sucked them into what could only be described as a vortex with millions of different shades of light illuminating the waves which had entrapped them. Only Mimi spoke with the rest of the group screaming in fear. "I should of gone to cheerleading camp."

Darkness enveloped them with only the sound of their own hearts beating against their chests along with the wind rushing past them causing their ears to pop. Their heads began to pound as if something had crawled inside and had begun to strike with an iron hammer against the top of their skulls. It wasn't clear which child fainted first nor did it matter for in just four and a half seconds they had all succumbed to the pain. Their lifeless bodies began to fall quicker towards the other world. A world that they would soon be tasked in saving. One that if they failed would be destroyed.

It was unclear how long Tai had been unconscious for as he began to wake his whole body feeling as if he'd been hit by a truck. A term his dad had taught him. He wondered if that was what his dad had felt like when he'd returned from the bar a year or so before falling over the dining table and ending up asleep on the floor. Tai assumed it must be the case for his dad had never visited the bar again. Ignoring the ache in his legs the young male managed to force his eyes open upon hearing a voice calling out his name. At first he assumed it was Kari yet upon becoming more responsive he realized that yes the voice was high but it belonged to a male. The thought that the voice didn't belong to another human however never even crossed his mind.

Eyes snapping open he soon discovered a clear blue sky above him followed by a series of trees that he was pretty sure hadn't been there before. With a confused raised brow Tai went to push himself into a seated position only to notice a slight pressure on his chest. Glancing down he noticed a small round light pinkish object bouncing up his body a toothy grin etched across its face which considering was its whole body appeared much larger than Tai had been accustomed to. In one swift panicked motion the teenager threw himself backwards until his back was met with a tree his elbow hitting its trunk with a fairly loud thud. The creature bounced a couple of times as it was knocked to the ground however appeared unhurt as it returned to Tai's side its grin still present.

"Tai you don't need to be afraid of me. I'm your partner. I'm Koromon."

"A talking head. I'm talking to a talking head. This is the camp food. I'm never eating it again."

"I'm a digimon not a head. I've been waiting for you."

"What do you mean waiting for me?"

"Hey Tai is that you?" another voice sounded through some scenery to the left. A voice that thankfully Tai knew.

"Izzy? That you?"

"It's me and I have this pink thing following me everywhere." the newcomer explained revealing himself as he pushed past a series of oversized leaves with a small pink blob like creature hot on his heels. "This vegetation is also quite fascinating."

"Huh you got one too."

"My friends call me Motimon. Well actually everybody does. Nice to meet you."

"I believe those digital gadgets have taken on an actual life form."

"You think? Weird."

"Things can be a bit strange in the digital world." Korormon exclaimed joining Motimon who was slowly drifting across the earth.

"Where is that?" Tai wondered.

"Where isn't important. What is it?" Izzy corrected him scanning his brain for any records of a digital world though came up blank.

Muttering to himself Izzy began to pace clearly being absorbed into his own thought processes. With no other one around Tai whom could offer a solution besides the two strange creatures he decided to do the next best thing and find out just how far away from camp they were. With a grunt he began to climb the same try he'd knocked his elbow against earlier at least knowing that it was built of hard wood. Although an easy climb it took Tai more than five minutes to reach the highest point he could in order to get a clear view of all surrounding areas. He had thought he's had his fair amount of surprises for one day and yet someone else had other ideas as he was met with the sea surrounding the land he was on along with a large mountain area that looked straight from a horror film. With a gulp he realized that he wasn't near camp anymore. In fact it looked like he was on an island.

Continuing to stare through the telescope Tai was startled as Koromon gleefully broadcasted his arrival but no longer scared the young boy. On the contrary his head formed friend seemed to relax him almost like the two were long lost friends or distant relatives that had yet to form a special bond but it was apparent that they would. He'd never felt that way before though he didn't think he would be kidnapped by a giant wave and dumped into a forest either yet there he was. Koromon sat silently by his side evidently wanting to act on it's excitement while also trying to not be annoying his new found friend. Tai leaned further forward from his perch while carefully gripping with his right hand clearly having seen something interesting causing Korormon's eyes to tense sensing some form a danger.

"Tai move!" yelled his digimon pushing his partner sideways so as to adjust his position just as a large red insect passed by pincers snapping the same area the two had been mere seconds before.

"You guys okay?" Izzy shouted trying to gauge what was happening. "You need to get down before it comes back."

"That's Kuwagamon. He's an insectoid Digimon. Vicious with teeth like knives and scissor hands that can chop through anything." Motimon added his hands covering his face. "This isn't good."

"Koromon what do we do?" Tai wondered slightly fearful.

"We run." muttered the small digimon preparing to jump from the tree alongside his partner who was readying the same movement.

"Here we go little guy. Jump."
