And so, it begins anew

Welp. The world's at peace, and all is right. The Dark Masters are down for the count, and that pesky virus Diaboromon is down. And let's not forget that we had a close save from a nuke that little bug sent us gift wrapped. Sounds a little weird, doesn't it? But ever since we went to summer camp, nothing's been the same… Or should I say from the time me and my sis first got a digimon… Either way, that seems to be the general rule of thumb of the Digital World. Weirdness wrapped around strange. It's kinda hard to explain.

Sorta like the story I heard from this buncha kids. It's been 4 months since the internet nearly went kerplunk. Their story is a lot like mine and my friends.

Woops. Forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Tai. Now I wasn't around for a chunk of this story, so I'll let them tell you all about it, but this was August. Again. About a year after we stomped Apocalymon, and saved the world (now that was hard work). Luckily, we found out about teamwork, and we worked perfectly. Well most of the time I guess.

Okay, fine Izzy. It took some time for us to work together. Geez. Give me a break already.

This story starts at summer camp. Now this is starting to get a little cliché isn't it?

Matt and T.K. decided to visit relatives out of town instead. Joe opted for cram school; what do you expect? Hasn't he ever heard of a hobby? Anyways, Mimi is off on another vacation in California. Too bad she couldn't take the rest of us. Izzy lost track of the date to go because of another computer update or some sort. And it was up to me and Sora to make sure that he didn't get too lost in the ones and zeros. Man, that guy can go on about techno-doodads and thingamabobers for hours at a time. But he easily loses track of things. Sora decided that she wanted to help out her mother a lot more, as she realised how much her Mom loved her. And I just wanted one vacation without any weird adventures. And I guess Kari wanted to have some time with me.

Speaking of which, I guess I can tell you guys about this set of kids now. They're a colourful bunch. And when I say colourful, I'm not joking about that.

The first one is Akechi Michiru. He's a total computer nerd. Izzy tells me he's more into video games, playing them, and even creating them. If he's anything like our resident genius, then that's going to be trouble. He can be very responsible. But he should have stopped by a computer camp instead.

His younger sister's name is Akechi Sana; and she's the complete opposite of her brother. A total tomboy, with a mouth to match. If her brother's a rule follower, she's going to break that rule, like her life depends on it. Rough and tumble is her middle name.

Next, we have Sanada Sakura, class president, and resident girl. She's not a princess like Mimi, but she can be very demanding, despite being rather shy. I don't know what makes this girl's clock tick, but I guess she simply wants to fit in.

And on the polar opposite of Sakura, we have Takeda Kira. Talk about a drama queen. His favourite topic is himself and his bloated ego. I mean, can this guy shut up? It's like he walked out of a melodramatic historical play.

Let's not forget Date Itachi. This little guy may be Sana and Kari's age, but I'm a little worried if this kid may fall over sick. And his black wardrobe doesn't help. Doesn't he know it's summer? And does he have to be so broody and moody? Isn't he supposed to wait until he's Matt's age for that?

And that leaves us with Miyamoto Kaito. This kid's a bundle of joy. Finally, a kid I can level with. No matter what curveball gets thrown his way, this little guy always tries to have a smile on his face. At least he has good tastes in sports. A good football game goes a long way. For a 9-year-old, he probably has a mean kick.

The last time this happened, we were at summer camp, and a freak snowstorm passed through. And this was in the Tokyo prefecture. When Summer's here, it's super hot. Then the digivices fell like literal meteorites from the sky in front of us, and it swiped us from camp.

As for them…

The yard of the campsite was now white, fluffy and cold. Some of the staff were grumbling, but some of the kids insisted it was time to play.

A young boy in a red t-shirt with a white butterfly flying on the front of the shirt to the left sleeve, kahki shorts as well as brown tussled hair with a pair of goggles and light brown eyes. This young child was overeager to jump in the snow with his sneakers, as he dashed around with more energy than what he, or a nuclear-reactor crew could possibly know what to do with.

"Time for a snowball fight! Let's go!" 9 year old Kaito charged a little further than he should, to one of the larger snow mounds.

"It's a challenge! I'm going to win! Come on you silly shut in! We're gonna beat that twerp!" A young girl, with short dark auburn shoulder length hair, blue eyes, a sleeveless dark purple hoodie, and jean shorts with the bottom edges torn, that chased after the young boy. She also wore a set of black and red stripped wristbands

"Hey Sana! Be careful! You can catch a cold this way!" An older 12-year-old boy short, messy auburn hair, chromatic eyes (one green and the left one red), an open, azure button up t-shirt with an eastern green dragon on the back, and with a vivid orange shirt underneath the azure one, and cargo pants, came rushing out, computer in the gold and yellow backpack with the Triforce on the back of it, on his back.

What followed was yet another 9-year-old, much more serious in complexion, a little bit more pale than the rest, as he wore a long sleeved button up black shirt, with a white t-shirt underneath, and a scarlet scarf around his neck. This ensemble was completed with a set of black pants. His black hair seems to frame his youthful face, as they go down to his shoulders, with the bangs that fall almost over his eyes falling but a little short (think Seto Kaiba).

Looking around he was curious about the snow, but was not pleased at the thought of a snowball fight. "Ugh. So immature. There is a better use for this snow rather than just some stupid fight." He stated, with a little bit of a snobby attitude as he thought to himself. 'One could use it to build a snow-castle!'

Next came Sakura, a girl Michiru's age. She looked worried, with her light blue button up shirt, with short sleeves, that she wore buttoned up and professional, and a knee length sandy coloured skirt, with brown eyes, and long dark, flowing hair, to her midback. "Come back inside! This could be dangerous! Itachi! You'll catch a cold! Besides, the camp councillors… "

"Don't be such a teacher's pet. How often does it snow in this part of Japan, and at this time of the year? Maybe we should enjoy this moment while it lasts. And perhaps try to create a snow sculpture competition." This came from the last of the children that came out.

Kira had vivid neon green hair, clearly dyed. He had a thin red bandanna wrapped around his forehead with it tied in the back and with a white star in the middle of the front, it bordered his carefully gelled, yet wild hair, and grey eyes. His shirt was a light orange v-neck t-shirt, with navy jeans, and fingerless gloves that matched the colour of his bandanna. This wardrobe was not nearly as obnoxious as when he pulled out his Japanese fan, Sakura thought to herself when he felt it to be appropriate.

The young girl, trying to be responsible, turned to usher in the younger children, but then she noticed Kaito, the young gogglehead, looking up at the sky. "What's going on with the sky?"

The other five looked at where the young boy was pointing, and saw a blueish-green glow, that awed the children. It was beautiful, as it flowed into a beautiful pattern of rainbow light.

"That is beautiful…" The older girl mentioned, agape. "But what is it?"

"Maybe an aurora?" Was the answer from the usually quiet Itachi.

"As in an aurora borealis? Nah, way too south for that kind of surprise." The intellectual Michiru responded.

"Then I guess it got lost and took a wrong left when it should have gone north… Just like the snow." The green haired rebel sarcastically let out.

"It's beautiful and all… but we should get back inside. We could get sick from the cold, and come down with pneumonia!" Sakura replied.

"Yes, yes. Go inside and miss the opportunity of a lifetime to see the sky short-circuiting? No thanks." The obnoxious reply was sent by Kira, and the others were still staring at the sky.

Kaito noticed something in the middle of the aurora.

"Uh… What's that?" It looked like a green spiral, and a bright white light in the middle of it as the previous lightshow continued.

The white light separated into 6 pieces, and fell down from the sky, like meteorites. The children gasped and a slight shriek was heard from the 12 year old girl, as the strange meteors tumbled down from the heavens, as they grew closer and closer, the 6 youths stood still as the first of the small wisps crashed at Kaito's feet, throwing the snow around, leaving a few panicked screams as two more crashed at Michiru and Sakura's feet, another one crashed in front of Itachi, and the last two dove next to Kira and Sana.

After tossing off the snow of the explosion that went everywhere, Sakura spoke up, a little panicked for the wellbeing of the other kids. "Is everyone all right?"

Kaito and Kira dove to the ground, Itachi fell back, and the others braced themselves. After a second, they recovered.

"Nothing broken." Michiru replied, wiping off the snow from his shirt.

"I'm okay." The silent boy in black answered.

"Talk about surprising." Sana commented recovering from the meteorite, not wanting to admit a moment of fear. "What was that?"

The brainiac then went to his knees to examine the hole. "Meteors maybe? Huh?" A light rose from the hole in the ground, as each of the 6 strange objects rose from their respective craters. "I guess not…"

He stood up, as the objects rose to chest height on each of the children. Instinctively grabbing the strange things, all 6 looked at the object that nearly crashed into them.

The object looked like a rectangular object of greyish blue colour, it had a small circular screen in the middle, with two bright blue buttons on the left side of the screen, and another on the right side of the screen. It also had a tiny, black antenna on the right side.

"What is it?" Sakura asked, curiously, and a little uncertain.

"My guess is some kind of miniature remote digital apparatus." Michiru answered, his brain working overdrive over what this tiny machine could do, and the mysteries behind this.

The screen on the device shined green, as a large tidal wave of water sprung up mysteriously in front of them.

"Whoa! Anyone bring a surfboard?" Kira asked, a little disturbed by what was happening.

"Skip the surfboard, how about a lifeguard?" Sana shouted, as a vacuum pulled the children in, after the large wave split down the middle.

Screaming and feeling like the world was spinning for what seemed to be forever, eventually all they remembered was losing consciousness, and getting lost in the darkness.

Feeling eventually returned, and the ground, the air, and even his body, he eventually started hearing something.

"Kaito…"

Kaito grumbled, and ached, and wanted to move over.

"Kaito… Wake up…"

"Just five more minutes, gramma…" The boy tried to roll over, but he had a weight on his stomach.

"Well, that's pretty rude. Wake up!" The voice sounded much more different than what the boy remembered. And much more different than his grandmother's voice. Sounded… masculine?

This is when the young athlete opened his eyes. What he saw was shocking and surprising.

He saw a purple-greyish four-legged small creature, with a white snout and white paws, huge brown and black eyes, cute little ears and a small tail, just looking at him.

Freaking out, he jumped to his feet and dashed back, and moved away about 10 meters, slipping at the last part, onto his backside.

"I knew that camp food had some weird stuff in it, but this is ridiculous! I swear, the chef is a mad scientist!" The child spoke to himself, clearly a little afraid of the situation.

"Don't worry, Kaito! You don't need to be scared of me! Take a deep breath, okay, little one. I'm your friend!" The small creature approached the boy, with a reassuring tone.

Calming down, the camper took a breath, and inquired the monster. "Really? Have you had all your shots? And what are you?"

The small creature hopped up into Kaito's arms.

Digimon analyser/New Creature "My name's Dorimon! I'm a friendly sort, that loves seeing peace. I'm a drifting digimon! I've been waiting for you for a long, long, long time!"

"What do you mean by that? You traveled all this way for me?" the boy asked the creature, however, he clearly didn't notice someone approaching him from behind.

"Kaito? Are you all right?" Turning to see who it was, the youth smiled at his campmate that just appeared.

Sana came out, a little uncomfortable with the situation. "Apart from the entire freak tsunami grabbing me and leaving me in the middle of nowhere… Peachy. I also have this weird blob following me around." She motioned next to her. What crawled up next to her was a pink plant type creature with eyes, a large number of pink tentacles beneath her, and a blue flower with yellow tentacles and a larger tentacle from the flower.

Digimon analyser/New Creature "What weird blob? I'm a perfectly healthy, cuddly little thing. I'm Yokomon! We're an innocent and cute bunch that's extremely harmless! Honest!"

Despite Yokomon's colour, the voice was of a slight masculine tone. He also tried to brighten up his eyes to look innocent. Sana sighed, as Kaito responded with the greeting.

"Hi, I'm Kaito!" The boy spoke nicely. He was still a little leery of the small creatures, but it did get his curiousity. Turning to the girl, he continued. "Any idea where we are?"

"Dumped in the middle of a jungle. How's that?" the girl retorted.

"That's not what I meant." The boy half chuckled.

"Don't worry, little Kaito. We're in Digiworld." Dorimon chirped gleefully.

"So how do we get back to camp? A fire maybe?" Sana blurted out, half serious.

"That would be horrible!" The worrywart digimon answered.

"I'll get the firewood, and the lighter!" The pink creature happily volunteered.

"I don't think… Hey, do you guys hear that?" Kaito heard some form of buzzing in the distance.

"I don't hear anything. Are you sure about this guy, Sana?" Yokomon asked her partner.

"What do you hear?" The girl asked.

"Some kind of buzzing. It sounds really loud… and getting louder." The boy explained closing his eyes. She imitated him, and focused.

"Hey, I hear it too…"

The small grey and white digimon turned in one direction, listening to the direction of the sound, as he panicked and tackled Kaito to the ground. "LOOK OUT!"

Yokomon did the same to her partner, as a large red bug, the size of two large buses long and wide, swooped in over them. "Okay! I take it back! That guy's not crazy! But this guy is!"

Digimon analyser/Yokomon: That guy's bad mojo! That's Kuwagamon! A giant bully with razor sharp claws and teeth like saws! The best thing to do is to run away from this guy!"

Getting up, the 4 noticed that the giant red bug was turning around.

"He's coming back! Hurry! Run this way!" Dorimon cried out loud, as the human children got to their feet and scrambled after the small furry creature, Yokomon being carried by Sana.

They ran for what seemed like forever, with the giant creature zooming past them, missing them sometimes by mere inches, as they jumped out of the way, or ducked, as they kept going, until the maternal little guy turned around and waved at them.

"In here! Quick!" Dorimon ordered the youths, as he jumped into a tree, vanishing, instead of the expected results. After a moment of shock at what they witnessed, the girl just grabbed the boy by the hand, and dragged him into the tree, as they saw what seemed like a grey metal hollow inside.

"Where are we? What is this?" Kaito exclaimed, surprised.

"In a hiding tree, silly." Yokomon stated.

"That's not normal…" The boy muttered.

"Well, yeah, it is normal… for us that is." The pink obnoxious plant blurted out. The conversation stopped when they heard loud buzzing again, as they braced themselves and stuck close to the ground, expecting the worst, and reasonably fearful.

The buzzing soon left, and went quiet. After a heart pounding minute, the two children felt the blood rushing in their ears, as time stood still.

"Hey." A harsh voice came from the outside. All four jumped out of their skins at the sudden surprise of a sound. "The big bug's gone. You can come out."

The one side of the tree opened up to reveal the young boy in black, Itachi. He seemed pretty serious. Next to him, there was something that looked like a greyish-purple hand with claws, with a single eye on a bump on the back of the hand, with two antenna-like ears.

"Uh… don't sweat it, Itachi. We had a plan and everything figured out." The girl tried to gather her bravery. The hand rolled its eye.

"Hey Itachi! I'm glad you're okay!" The cheerful boy greeted the gloomy child. Looking down, he took a look at the newest creature. "And you are?"

Digimon analyser/Unknown digimon: Just call me Tsumemon. If I keep on digivolving, I'll become very powerful. That's all you need to know.

Kaito looked closely, trying to analyse him. But before he could continue, a small green seahorse looking creature passed in front of them. It had a yellow belly, and two small green wings, with a tail with white hairs, and two small black horns with reds at the tips.

"What the? Who're you?" the startled boy asked.

Digimon analyser/Unknown digimon: I'm Babydmon! A super-cute and super-cool digimon! I'm a harmless little critter, and a dragon to boot! I may like shiny things, so don't get between me and them!

Turning around to the direction he came from, he waved. "Hey, Kira! Over here, slowpoke!"

"Slowpoke? Me? You're the one that flies around! That's cheating!" The green haired 13-year-old stepped out of the bush. "Oh, looks like we found the little guys."

"Well, that's good." Michiru, the resident computer wiz followed the other boy into view. "And you two need to slow down! Not all of us have a limitless power source inside us."

"Of course, Mich! I have the spirit of an entire sun burning within me!" The egotist replied.

"But what's wrong with having limitless energy?" The little dragon joined in, trying to sound innocent.

"Hey, Michiru, what's that under your arm?" The younger sister asked her brother. The small creature which looked like an orange furball with a large blade on its head looked at her.

Digimon analyser/Unknown digimon: I'm Tsunomon. Usually shy, I'm a loyal companion to most, and I work hard to help those around me. Can I sleep, now that we all know who I am?

Michiru looked at Tsunomon with a little bit of curiosity. He turned to look at the others. "I've been meaning to ask; just what are you guys? You aren't the usual fauna we have in Japan."

The young genius then had the creature jump out of his arms, and joined the others, as they prepared for a better introduction.

"We're digimon! Digital Monsters!" They all stated in unison. Dorimon began speaking.

"We're very loyal, and caring!"

"We also work hard and play hard." Yokomon chirped.

"We're curious, and sometimes mischievous." The little dragon added.

"And we are your eternal partners." Tsunomon added, a little bit more monotone. "Can I just have a nap now?"

When it came time for Tsumemon to speak up, he just let out a grunt, and stated. "Whatever. I have my duties." This put a bit of tension in the air, that was soon cut short by a loud shriek.

"That's Sakura!" The black clad boy sprang up, as he shouted, and dashed in the direction of the scream.

The other kids followed him, trying to shout to her reassurances.

"Don't worry about the little creature, they don't mean… whoa, okay! That's something to worry about!" Kira shouted out, but then when she and a small creature came into view, they saw the familiar giant beetle hot on her tail, greet them with his scissor-like smile.

It charged forward, but the kids ducked, and the older boys nearly lost their heads as it pulled up, and slashed a couple of tree tops, as it vanished in the distance.

The new girl fell to her knees, letting her legs rest, and taking a sigh of relief as a small little blue ball with a two-spiked helmet and a furry raccoon tail hopped and reassured her.

"Are you all right?" the little blue pudgeball asked.

"I think so… That thing's a nightmare." She replied.

Digimon analyser/Unknown digimon: Don't worry, Sakura! I, Kaprimon will protect you. I'm a sworn warrior, bound by honour. And I'll hold to my word which is my bond!"

Before any of them can go on, they heard the loud screech that the giant Kuwagamon let out.

"Heads up, Ugly's on his way back!" Sana shouted, as they all got up, and ran in the same direction.

Seconds felt like minutes, and minutes like hours. The children ran, till their lungs felt like they were on fire, as the buzzing got louder and louder. After a few minutes of running, Sana jumped to the ground, as Michiru shoved Kaito to the ground, and Sakura pushed down Itachi, who broke up in a series of coughing fits. Kira hit the deck as well, as the giant beetle grazed over them.

"Oh man… Mom and Daddy are going to want to get a full refund over this!" the older girl shouted, clearly afraid for her life.

Sana got up rather upset. "Why don't we fight back? Kick its ass!"

Michiru responded. "With what? Unless someone packed a rocket-propelled grenade in their pockets, I don't see how that can work."

As soon as Kuwagamon made its return, the entire group got up and scrambled in one direction for about 10 minutes, until they stopped cold. The children's blood ran cold, as they saw the end of a cliff that seemed to end their hopes of getting out of this situation.

"Forget the RPG, how about a fighter jet? Anyone have one of those with them?" Kira responded, rather depressed at the turn of events.

Kaito, the young gogglehead approached the end of the cliff, as he grumbled turning to the others. "Sorry, but this isn't going to work."

"So, what's option number two?" The black clad youth, Itachi asked, sullenly.

Behind them, entire trees moved and the children jumped out of their pants and the red giant death flew forward, missed its targets and after flying a bit of way, turned around and aimed a lot more accurately this time at its meal. But as it charged this time, the little Dorimon dashed in, and leapt off of his partner's shoulders, and shouted something.

"Metal Drop!" was heard as the small blue and white furred digimon spat out a small silver, metal bead from its mouth, at the giant enemy. Although it slightly diverted the target from hitting the young human child.

This however, was not going to save the rest of the humans. The other small digimon jumped up, and shouted their own response to their brave comrade.

"Bubble Blast!" Came from Yokomon and Tsunomon, as they blew out some pink bubbles.

"Howling Hertz!" Kapurimon shouted, as a small electric looking spark generated from the two horns, and where it came together, was the launched in front of him.

"Hot Gas!" Babydmon added, as he tried to release his breath, as a reddish-brown gas came out.

'Well, what else can I do?' "Nail Scratch!" The small hand looking creature revealed its claws, as they glowed, releasing 5 small little energy darts that were released from its claws.

They all landed perfectly on the giant, which caused it to crash into the forest behind them. However, the behemoth smacked aside the little critters as they landed injured all over the stretch of land.

Kaito picked up Dorimon, as he looked at him, hoping the little guy was all right.

"Dorimon? Are you all right? Speak to me." The boy pleaded.

"So long as you're not hurt, Kaito, I'm all right." The youth breathed a sigh of relief.

The other children rushed over to their newfound friends. A wave of relief flooded the children, as they saw the generally healthy status of the digimon, but their moment of silence, was shattered as the villain recovered from his emergency landing.

Kuwagamon clashed its mandibles together, ready for a meal.

The children rushed over to Kaito, near the end of the cliff, cradling their friends. Dorimon started to squirm in the arms of his human companion.

"Come on! We've got to fight and protect you!" The little monster enthusiastically insisted.

"No! You've been hurt!" The boy cried as he clung to his partner.

Michiru was having a similar fight in his hands.

"Come on! That guy wants to mess with us, we teach him a lesson!" Tsunomon roared up.

"But you don't stand a chance!" The computer genius pleaded.

To his right, his younger sister was trying to fight down the pink plant to not get himself killed.

"Lemme go, lemme go, lemme go!" Yokomon joined into the combat spirit with the others.

"No way! No how!" Sana ordered.

The little dragon in Kira's arms was trying his best to slip through the boy's grip.

"Lemme at him! I can take him!" Babydmon barked out.

"Are you stupid? You must be suicidal!" The green haired youth stubbornly replied.

The older girl was wrestling her new friend.

"Battle is our way! We will protect you! It's destiny!" Kapurimon livened up, struggling against his partner's arms.

The last boy turned to his new partner, and with pleading eyes, spoke up.

"Do you have to fight that bully?" Itachi asked quietly. The creature looked back sullenly.

"We're at the end of our rope. I'd rather go down fighting." Tsumemon spoke silently.

As the giant monster strode forward, the humans could not hold their grasp on their partners. The 5 struggling digimon slipped away from their friends, as Tsumemon leapt and joined them.

"Dorimon! I don't want you to die!" Kaito rushed forward, wanting to catch the fuzzy little creature.

However, what none of the children paid attention to, was the digivices shining. All of a sudden, the sky revealed a dark mist above. Rainbow lights flowed from its center, as the various large circular rays shot down, and 6 of them surrounded the 6 young digimon. Within them, a power from deep within burst out.

"Dorimon digivolve to… Dorumon!" The little Dorimon had turned into a small raptor-like creature, with the same purple and white fur, the tail looking like a fox tail, small black wings on his back, and a red gem on the forehead.

"Tsunomon digivolve to… Elecmon!" Tsunomon's new form looked like a red dog-like digimon with purple markings, rabbit-like ears, and a series of tails, much like a peacock.

"Yokomon digivolve to… Biyomon!" The new body of Yokomon was no longer plant-like, but it was of a small pink bird, with a pinkish-reddish beak and claws, and some slight purple markings on his tail, and his head.

"Babydmon digivolve to… Dracomon!" Babydmon was now a small blue dragon, with a white belly, red wings and horns.

"Kapurimon digivolve to… Kotemon!" Kapurimon transformed into a digimon that wore a kendo outfit and men, had sleeves that trailed behind him, a shinai held in his hand, and finally, purple lizard-like feet and tail.

"Tsumemon digivolve to… Keramon!" Tsumemon now looked pretty strange. He had a large greyish-purplish head with a creepy smile and look on his face, with two antennae a yellow neckpiece that continued in a number of tentacles, and two large hands, with large fingers.

The small creatures looked up at their enemy, and instinctively moved in.

Dorumon started the attack by launching a metal ball, similar to a cannon ball from his mouth. "Metal Cannon!"

The attack struck the bug's right leg, as it forced him on his knee. When he tried to get up, he then received another attack from his left, in the sky. "Spiral Twister!" The green circular fire from Biyomon smacked him from the side, and it was followed by an attack from below that attack, from Elecmon. "Super Thunder Strike!" As his tail glowed and launched an electric attack that got the creature now off balance.

Now deciding that this meal was too much trouble, Kuwagamon flapped its wings to fly off, but this was interrupted by Dracomon greeting him from above. His horns glowed as he opened his mouth and released a beam. "G Shurunen!" It hit the target on the head, but this was followed by Kotemon, who jumped high, with his shinai above his head, as he slammed down, the wooden sword sparkling with electric energy. "Thunder Kote!"

This attack hit with such force that the bug crashed back down, with no elegance left. The final rookie digimon decided this was a perfect chance to strike.

"Bug Blaster!" Keramon shot a black ball from his mouth that landed at high speed into the red beetle. This had such force that it threw him back.

All the digimon partners got together, and Dorumon shouted a request. "All together, please?"

"Metal Cannon!" "Spiral Twister!" Sparkling Thunder!" "G Shurunen!" "Bug Blaster!"

The five long ranged attacks landed, as the bug dropped back, vanishing as if it were vapor.

"They vaporised him…" Kaito let out, partially out of shock.

"That's the way to kick ass!" Sana screamed a victory cry.

The digimon happily returned to their partners, who were relieved, and observing the change in size and shape.

"Would that count as a fatality, or a brutality?" The gamer asked Elecmon.

"I don't care, but I can go for a napality."

Michiru had rubbed Elecmon's back. Sana grabbed Biyomon by the wings, and danced around in a circle with him. Kaito had jumped into a hug with Dorumon. Sakura, was observing the warrior clothes of her partner. Kira had taken Dracomon in a slight hug, out of relief. Itachi looked gleeful at the bug, observing quietly at the change in shape.

Keramon returned the look, thinking. "I'm limited in power, and yet this brat can help me digivolve like those four? I'll have to look into this. Guess I've got to take this brat with me."

All the kids were chanting praises of relief, as they took their first breath that was free and quiet since coming to the Digiworld.

A breath that was quickly cut short, by Kuwagamon suddenly appearing out of the bush he fell in, letting out a scream. He looked pretty mad and injured, as he plunged his huge mandibles into the ground, which caused cracks to reveal themselves, as they reached the two sides to the cliff, causing the ground beneath the children and the newly digivolved digital monsters to fail and crumble, causing them to plummet to the water beneath them.


Thank you for reading this fanfic!

This was an interesting change in the original story I initially created from my adolescence. This new story has been vastly improved on the other version, as we wanted to write a love letter to the first season.

The original version was meant to be a cyberpunk with elements of Dr. Who style time travel… with a large amount of teenage angst from both the characters, and myself. Some characters would have got caught in the range of Mary Sues, and it would have got caught in the shipping wars. That idea didn't age well, as the flaws of the fanfic series Perfect Hazzard has been infected with some of these flaws. I admire the dedication of the writer to his vision, but I won't go back to read that series.

This version was a much better version, and although it follows the formula of season 01, it will deviate from the initial story, with this whimsical new cast.

Elements from the original idea may be repurposed, but not with the immature writing style I would have implemented back then. I'm a fan of Cyberpunks, but this isn't the story for that.

This also allows me to limit my cast of characters. Originally, I would have implemented the characters from season 2, 3, 4 and 5. This would have been a hard issue to juggle, as we would have 30 destined children, and 30 Digimon, plus my original characters. That would be a heavy load to juggle with for someone who wishes a fully functional story, and with a large number of fans that would debate, and get the crossfire of the season fanboys, and the ire of the shipping wars. It would have been a nightmare.

This matured style of storytelling is more akin to the spirit of Digimon. Kids going to an alternate world, paired up with some monsters who need to work together to save the Digital World, and in extension, save the world. And sometimes, writing goes through that process. Ideas and characters may be incompatible, but they may be used later under a much more mature way of looking at the story, and writing it the way the vision can be surpassed.
