A/N: Sorry it's taken me so long to update. I've been super busy. Also, I decided to change my character's partner from Monodramon to Terriermon, for the sake of part of the plot I'm planning, plus I love Terriermon so much.

Episode 1: And So It Begins

Maikeru "Michael" Yuto was sitting in his bedroom playing on his laptop as usual. Michael was a huge fan of the television show Digimon. Yes…he was a die-hard fan.

He sat in his chair and thought to himself.

Wouldn't it be so cool if Digimon was real? If I was a DigiDestined? If I could travel with the other eight kids from Season 1?

Season 1 was Michael's favorite season. He liked Season 2 also, but he was extremely familiar with Season 1.

If only it were…but alas, it is only a TV show. It's not really real.

He started surfing the Internet, and he decided to open up his email. When he had the page open, he noticed he had an email from someone completely anonymous. All the email read was:

"Maikeru Yuto. It is time. Your journey awaits."

"Huh? What's this about?" Michael wondered.

No sooner had he said that, that another anonymous email came in…probably from the same being. This one read:

"Come to the park and I'll reveal myself. Be sure to pack enough food and emergency supplies…you might need them."

"Okay, now I'm totally confused." Michael thought out loud.

Should I do what this person says? Well…I never know…

Michael stood up and grabbed his backpack from the closet. He snuck in the bathroom and grabbed some essentials and then snuck to the kitchen. He very quietly slipped into the kitchen and opened the fridge.

"I could get in big trouble for being out here at this hour. Oh, well."

He finished getting his things, got dressed, and headed to the park. When he got there, it was deserted. He took out his phone and opened up his email from there. He got another email, this time with a video attached. On the video was a live streaming recording of what appeared to be a long blue snake-like creature with a beard.

"What is this? Wait…Azulongmon?"

"It is I, Maikeru. Point your device towards the sky so I can come forth."

Michael was absolutely astonished at this. A real-life Digimon, Azulongmon nonetheless, was actually talking to him. He pointed his phone up at the sky and a light shot out, temporarily blinding him. He had to shield his eyes with his hand. When the brightness dimmed enough, there was Azulongmon in his fullness.

"Maikeru, do you know why you are here tonight?"

"Not a clue."

"Your wish to be a DigiDestined has come true. You will go back in time with the original seven DigiDestined when their adventure first began."

"WHAT? Really? No way, this can't be real. Are you serious?"

"It is real, Maikeru. You have been chosen by the Sovereign to go back and save the Digital World. A time-traveling Digimon has distorted time and thus, the events must happen again. Not one of the original eight, including young Kari, knows about this. You will join them. You will know what is going to happen, but try your best not to reveal this knowledge to any of them, until the time is right. Are you ready?" Azulongmon prophesied.

"I was born ready, Azulongmon!" Michael shouted enthusiastically. "Except, wait…if I'm a DigiDestined now, then who's my Digimon partner?"

"You shall meet him soon. Good luck my friend."

Azulongmon seemed to disappear, and a bright light teleported Michael to the cabin at the summer camp where the DigiDestined first entered the Digital World.

"Wow…I can't believe this is really happening to me." He looked down and discovered he was in his 8-year-old body again. "Woah, I'm young again! I look so…cute!"

"Hey, kid. Are you in the same cabin as us?" A kid with big brown spiked hair asked. Michael immediately knew who this was. But he had to keep his knowledge of things a secret.

"Yeah, I think so. My name's Michael Yuto by the way."

"I'm Tai Kamiya. Nice to meet you. Let me introduce you to the rest of the kids in the cabin. There are six others."

Michael walked with Tai to the cabin where he saw six other kids…the other DigiDestined: Matt, Sora, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, and T.K.

"Hey guys. We're getting a new person in our cabin." Tai said.

"Hello. My name is Michael Yuto. Nice to meet you.

He then pointed to each one and introduced them to Michael.

"This is Sora Takenouchi. She's okay, for a girl."

"What's that supposed to mean, Tai?" Sora demanded.

"Oh, you know. Just…um…well, I…" Tai stuttered and blushed.

"You okay, Tai?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, anyway…this is Matt Ishida. Matt's too cool. Just look at that haircut."

This is just like the show, thought Michael.

"Hey, no dissing the hair, man."

"It's okay. It does look cool." Michael complimented him.

"This little kid is Izzy Izumi. He should've gone to computer camp."

"Hmm…why won't my Internet connect?" Izzy asked himself.

"We're up in the mountains; sadly, it might not work." Michael advised.

"I've thought of that."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Izzy."

"And that's Mimi Tachikawa. I bet you can guess her favorite color on the first try."

"Um…pink?"

"Wow, how did you know?" Mimi obliviously asked.

"I don't know…pink dress, pink hat…yeah, I'm pretty sure I could've figured that one out."

"He's good."

"T.K. Takaishi is Matt's little brother."

"Hi, Michael. Wanna play a game with me?" T.K. innocently asked.

"Sure, later. I promise."

"If you noticed, Michael. Mine and Matt's last names are different because…" T.K. started.

"T.K., we don't need to share that information." Matt scolded him.

Their parents are divorced. That's right.

"Oh, and this is Joe Kido. Don't ever scare him. He'd probably wet his pants."

"Hey, Tai. I wouldn't do that!" Joe countered.

"Relax, Joe, it was a joke."

"Well, I'm sure all of us will become great friends." Michael said, knowing what was about to happen, unlike the rest of the kids.

Hmm…I still can't believe this is really happening to me. And I just remembered, in a little while, I'll get to meet Tai's sister Kari. I had a crush on her for a while. Wait…what am I thinking?

So Michael started hanging out with each one of the kids, getting to know them better, when Michael felt something cold and wet on his face. He looked up and saw that it was starting to snow.

"Here we go." Michael said, anxiously.

"What? Snow? In August? Totally freaky."

And it'll get weirder. Michael thought.

Suddenly it started really snowing until it became a full-on blizzard that seemed to come out of nowhere. Everyone was frantically running towards their cabins. Not soon after the blizzard subsided, Michael heard a voice over an intercom.

"Attention campers: because of the sudden blizzard, needless to say, the canoe races are cancelled. Thank you."

"So, let's have toboggan races instead." Tai ran out of the cabin onto the snow-covered ground.

T.K. was the next to run out of the cabin, and he was laughing in his childlike way, like he was really enjoying the snow. "I'm gonna build the biggest snowman!"

Matt soon ran out after his brother. "Hey, T.K., be careful. Slow down!"

Sora stood in the doorway, shivering. "Brrr…it is freezing, and I didn't bring a jacket." She walked outside.

Joe stood where she was. "Man, I was worried I'd catch a summer cold, but this is even worse!"

Mimi gazed excitedly at the snow, moving Joe out of the way a little so she could see the snow. She gasped at the beauty. "Wow! Why didn't I pack my fluffy pink snow boots?"

"Mimi…it's still summer, remember? You wouldn't have known it was going to snow." Michael told her.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot!"

Of course, Izzy was still on his computer in the cabin. "Still not working. Bummer. This storm's making a mess of my infrared Internet connection."

Meanwhile, a light show appeared outside in the form of what looked like an aurora. "Hey, lookit!" T.K. said.

"Wow!" Sora exclaimed at the lights.

"Hey, Izzy, come on out here, you've got to see this!" Tai yelled for him.

Izzy walked out to join the rest of the kids.

"Wow!" Tai exclaimed.

"It's beautiful. Magical even." Mimi sighed.

"Yeah!" Said Tai.

"Yeah, but what is it?" Izzy wondered in his ever-curious way.

"Maybe an aurora?" Sora guessed.

"You mean 'aurora borealis?' The Northern Lights? That's impossible! You see that in Alaska. We're way too far south." Izzy explained.

"Tell that to the snow!" Said Sora.

"I think we all better get inside before we all come down with pneumonia!" Joe was worrying, of course.

"And miss this? The sky is, like, short-circuiting!" Matt told Joe.

"Do you think we need sunscreen?" Wondered Mimi.

"Um…no, Mimi. We'll be okay." Michael again assured her.

Then suddenly, eight beams started falling from a green spiral that had appeared in the middle of the aurora.

"Hey, what's that?" Tai asked the group.

The Digivices. Thought Michael.

They all gasped and ducked away when the beams hit the ground at their feet, even Michael, though only because of reflexes, even though he knew what was coming next.

Sora popped up. "Everyone, are you alright?" She asked.

"We're still here." Said Matt, holding onto T.K.

"That was scary." Mimi whined.

"What…what was it?" Joe whined louder.

Izzy crawled over to one of the holes in the snow where the beams made their impact site. "Meteors?" He wondered.

Then, from out of the holes in the snow rose eight digital gadgets.

Wow…I'm actually getting my own Digivice! I'm actually a DigiDestined! Michael was trying to contain his inner squeal.

"Okay, so it's not meteors." Said Izzy.

All of the kids grabbed the devices as they floated up to them.

Sora looked at the strange thing in her hand. "What are these?"

"My guess is some sort of miniature remote digital apparatus." Izzy thought out loud.

"No instructions?" Joe wondered.

Out of nowhere, a huge wave of water shot up from the ledge they were by.

"Forget the instructions. Surf's up!" Tai said.

Digital World, here I come! Michael was anxious.

They were all picked up by the wave and sent down a portal.

"I knew I should've gone to cheerleading camp!" Shouted Mimi.

And they all blacked out.

A little while later, Michael woke up after hearing a voice calling out to him. "Michael? Hey, Michael? Wake up, Michael!"

"I'm awake. Huh?" He saw a strange creature staring at him, and it dawned on him. He was now in the Digital World, and this creature that was sitting on him was his Digimon partner. He was a small round green creature, with a single pointed horn on top of his head. He also had a lower body which flowed down and looked like slime.

Wow, this must be my Digimon. Michael thought. "Hey, little guy. What's your name?"

"My name's Gummymon, and I'm your partner, Michael."

He's really mine! Michael was exuberant.

"This is the Digital World, Michael."

"Hey, little buddy, can I tell you a secret? I already know about the Digital World and Digimon. I just can't believe I'm actually here!"

"You knew about me before?" Gummymon asked.

"Well, before I was told I would be coming here, I didn't know what Digimon would be my partner. But now that we've met, we can become the best friends ever!" Said Michael. Gummymon smiled.

"Come on, Gummymon. Let's go see if we can find the others."

"There are others like you here?" Gummymon questioned.

Michael nodded. "Yep. Including me, there are eight of us. Come on, the others must be nearby."

Michael suddenly remembered something. Wait...I'm in my 8-year-old body. So if I appear to be this age, I have to act a little bit like it again. Although, I could prove myself to be a very smart 8-year-old.

Michael and Gummymon ran through the forest until they came to an opening where he spotted Tai, still unconscious, with a pink head with antennae on his chest. He could hear it speaking.

"That's Koromon," Said Gummymon.

"I know." Michael informed.

"So let me get this straight, Michael. You know everything about the Digital World already?"

"Well, not everything, but I know a few things already."

Michael and Gummymon could hear Koromon talking, trying to get Tai to wake up.

"Tai? Yoo-hoo? Tai?"

Tai woke up slowly. "Yeah, I'm okay. Huh?"

He saw Koromon sitting on him, staring straight at him close up. Koromon blinked. Tai freaked out and flung himself backwards. "That is the last time I eat camp food!"

Koromon bounced up and down happily. "Hey, you don't need to be afraid of me! I'm your friend, I'm your friend, I'm your friend!"

"Uh…just what are you? Have you had your rabies shots?"

"Everything's going to be alright now, Tai. I've been waiting for you!"

Koromon jumped into Tai's hands. "Ah! Waiting for me?"

"My name's Koromon. And we're partners!"

"Koromon? That means…'talking head?'" Tai guessed.

"It means 'brave little warrior.' And don't forget it, Tai!"

"So what do you mean you've been waiting for me? And how do you know my name?" Tai wondered.

Michael looked and saw Izzy come out of another clearing on the other side of the forest.

"Tai?" Izzy asked.

"Hm? Izzy, is that you?"

"It's me. And I've got this little pink thing following me everywhere."

Suddenly a pink blob-like thing popped out behind Izzy.

"It is me, Motimon, at your service. Anybody want lunch?"

Tai freaked out and dropped Koromon. "Ah! Another one? What are they?"

"Oh, allow me to introduce myself. My friends call me Motimon. Everyone does actually."

Izzy walked out into the clearing. "I believe those miniature remote digital gadgets have taken on an actual life form. I don't remember anything like this in the camp brochure."

"You think? It's weird." Said Tai.

"The vegetation is lush, but the soil here's rather common." Izzy assumed.

"Nothing is common in DigiWorld." Motimon corrected.

"That's right Tai, you're in the DigiWorld!" Koromon explained.

"And just where is the DigiWorld?" Asked Tai.

"I don't care so much about where it is. I want to know what it is!" Izzy immediately wanted to learn more about where he was.

Michael took the opportunity to come out and meet Izzy and Tai. "Hey guys."

"Michael?" Tai was happy he saw someone other than him and Izzy that he knew.

"Yep, and I'd like you to meet my new friend."

Gummymon hopped over to meet the others. "Hi, I'm Gummymon."

"Huh? There's another one." Said Izzy.

"Hmm…I guess I'll just take a look around for myself." Said Tai as he started to climb a nearby tree. He reached into his pocket and brought out a mini-telescope. He put it to his eye and saw the sea.

"The ocean? What's that doing there? Our campsite was nowhere near the ocean. And I sure don't remember those mountains. Hmm…something tells me a compass isn't gonna help much."

Koromon climbed the tree and sat down next to Tai on a branch. "Hey Tai, what do you see?"

"Nothing I recognize. Wait, what's that?" He spotted a huge red insect creature with two pincers coming in on the tree he was in. "Look at that…it's some sort of giant flying red beetle…and it's flying right at us!" Tai shouted in shock.

Kuwagamon. Michael thought. I've still got to be careful.

Kuwagamon flew at the tree, swooped down and severed the top of the tree like a guillotine, barely missing Tai and Koromon. Tai dodged it by hanging upside-down by his legs, and Koromon by his antennae.

"Ah! I can't watch, that is one seriously bad Digimon, even when he's in a good mood!" Motimon covered his eyes.

"That's just great." Izzy said staring.

"Michael!" Gummymon jumped into Michael's arms.

"Don't worry, Gummymon. We'll be fine."

Gummymon smiled. "His name is Kuwagamon. He's an insectoid Digimon, vicious and ruthless, with teeth like knives and scissor-hands that can chop through anything!"

"Gummymon…I know. It's okay." Michael assured him.

Kuwagamon started charging at Tai again.

"Well, he's a gardener!" Shouted Tai. He swung himself upside-down by his knees again. Koromon leapt off the branch and spit pink bubbles at Kuwagamon, which only annoyed him just enough to narrowly miss hitting Tai. Tai fell off the tree branch. Izzy and Michael ran up to him.

"Tai, you okay?" Asked Izzy.

"Well, I have had better days." Tai got up as Koromon fell with a yelp. Tai ran up to him. "Little guy! You should pick on bugs your own size. What's your name, Koromon?"

"That's me."

"You're pretty brave for a little guy. I'm impressed." Tai smiled. Koromon blushed.

"It was nothing."

Suddenly, Izzy shouted, pointing at Kuwagamon, who had turned around to chase them. "Uh, Tai…he's heading this way again!"

Motimon got frantic. "Oh dear, oh dear. Quickly everyone, this way."

"Come on, guys." Tai picked up Koromon and they all started running from Kuwagamon.

"Hurry up! For having two long legs, you boys are awfully slow!" Motimon said.

They stopped as Motimon suddenly jumped into a hologram of a tree. "Inside this tree!" He said.

"What?" Tai and Izzy stopped short. Michael walked forward to go in the tree.

"Well, are you guys coming?" Michael asked as he walked into the tree mirage.

"Let's go!" Tai grabbed Izzy's wrist and they ran into the tree mirage, hidden from Kuwagamon's view.

Inside the tree were rounded walls and you could see the sky if you looked straight up.

"What kind of tree is this?" Asked Izzy.

"It's a hiding tree, silly!" Motimon answered.

They could all hear Kuwagamon screeching outside the tree.

"Quiet now. Don't make a sound." Michael warned.

"They all ducked down and waited for Kuwagamon's screeching to subside. When it finally did, they all heard a different voice.

"All clear! No need to hide anymore!"

They opened a hole in the hologram and saw Sora standing there. "Sora!" Tai was happy to see her.

"You can come out now."

"Oh, we were just planning a trap we were going to set for that big bug." Tai suddenly looked down at Sora's feet and saw a round pink creature with a flower on its head. "Huh?"

Yokomon.

"I am enchanted to meet you, friends of Sora. Welcome." The creature said.

"Tai, Izzy, Michael, meet Yokomon, my own personal something-or-other."

"It looks kind of like a radish." Tai observed.

"It must be another one of them, like the other…whatever they are." Izzy said.

Another small creature with stubby legs walked out into view.

Tokomon.

"Ah! They're popping up everywhere." Said Izzy.

"Hello, I am Tokomon. Hey, T.K., over here!" Tokomon shouted for his partner.

"Coming!" Everyone heard the young boy's voice and saw him come out of the bushes after Tokomon. "Tokomon, there you are."

"T.K.!" Matt ran right after him.

"Hey, Matt…you too?" Asked Tai, noticing the creature under Matt's arm.

"Yeah, I'm here too."

"No…I meant that, under your arm."

"Oh, this guy? Yeah, well…"

Tsunomon. Michael knew all of these creatures.

"Hello. You appear pleasant. Tsunomon is my name and I'm quite pleased to meet you."

T.K. was on the ground, cuddling with Tokomon, already fond of him. Suddenly they heard someone yell…and they saw Joe running frantically out of the bushes. "Ah!"

"Joe?" Tai said.

"Help me…this thing, this thing, it won't leave me alone!"

The creature chasing Joe flew up onto his shoulder. "Hey, who you calling a 'thing?' I'm no stuffed animal. The name is Bukamon."

"Ah!" Joe screamed. "What's wrong with you guys? Don't you see this creature hanging off me? And those creatures standing right there!" He said pointing to the other Digimon. "They're…they're everywhere! What are they?"

Bukamon flew off his shoulder and joined the other Digimon.

"We're…" Bukamon started.

"Digimon: Digital Monsters!" They all shouted.

"Digital monsters?" Tai wondered.

"Yes, Digimon." They all said.

"We're not just digital monsters; we're much more than that. We're…kind of cute." Said Koromon.

"And…very loyal." Tsunomon added.

"With beautiful hair." Yokomon put in her two bits.

"Or maybe no hair at all!" Motimon said.

"We can be funny! Ha!" Bukamon joined the introductions.

"And adorable." Said Tokomon.

"And don't forget friendly." Gummymon finished.

"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."

"Nice place you've got here…except the bugs." Sora said.

"And the self-proclaimed 'cool' one over there is Matt."

"No autographs please."

"And this is Joe."

"I'd shake hands…if you had any."

"Izzy here's our computer expert."

"Do you have Internet access?"

"Then we have Michael."

"I'm so happy to meet you all."

"And last but not least…this little guy is, uh…"

"T.K. Call me T.K. And I'm not as small as I look."

"There now. Is that everyone?" Tai asked.

"Hey, what about Mimi?" Asked Michael.

"Oh yeah…" Tai remembered.

"Well, perhaps she's off picking flowers…or going on a nature hike…or…" Izzy started until they heard Mimi scream from a distance.

"Ahh! Somebody help me!" She shouted.

"Mimi? Where are you?" Tai yelled.

"Keep going straight." Michael said.

"There she is!" Sora spotted her.

"Mimi, it's okay!" Tai said, as he spotted a little green Digimon with her, and then saw Kuwagamon flying above her.

"It's that big bug again!" Tai shouted.

Kuwagamon swooped down over their heads.

"Mimi, are you alright?" The green Digimon asked.

"I think so." Mimi answered.

"Don't worry. Tanemon's here to protect you." Tanemon said.

Sora walked over to Mimi and put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"It's okay now." Sora said.

"Oh, Sora…" Mimi was happy to see her.

"Watch it! Here he comes!" Yelled Michael.

The kids and their Digimon ran as fast as they could with Kuwagamon in hot pursuit.

"Get down!" Matt yelled as Kuwagamon swooped down right over their heads.

"Will this nightmare ever end?" Joe worried. "My mom is gonna want a complete and total refund."

"Here he comes again!" Yokomon warned.

"Okay, that does it. No more running away." Tai decided.

"What else can we do?" Sora wondered, helping Mimi up.

"Sora's right, Tai." Michael suggested to Tai.

"There's no way we can fight that thing!" Matt said, holding on to T.K. to protect him.

"Not and win anyway." Added Izzy.

Kuwagamon returned.

"Run!" Michael yelled.

They ran and ran until they came to a cliff. Everyone gasped except for Michael, as he knew they'd be okay.

"Great. Anybody bring a helicopter?" Matt suggested.

"Matt…I don't think that would've been possible." Michael told him.

Tai crawled to the edge of the cliff, very carefully, just to see if anything was below them in case something were to happen.

"Be careful, Tai." Warned Sora.

Tai saw nothing but a river below. "There's no way down. We're going to have to find another way."

"Another way where?" Asked Sora.

Just as she said this, Kuwagamon burst from the forest. Sora and Mimi screamed.

"Tai, watch out!" Sora warned as Kuwagamon was about to attack him.

Koromon flew from Tai's arms. "Here I go!" He charged and blew bubbles at Kuwagamon.

"Digimon, attack!" Yokomon commanded and all the Digimon flew from their partners' arms, blowing bubbles at Kuwagamon. Kuwagamon attacked, but the bubbles temporarily knocked him back into the forest. All the Partner Digimon were down.

"Yokomon!" Sora shouted.

"Koromon, are you crazy?!" Tai scolded Koromon, but worried about him. "Why'd you do it?"

"Sorry. It's just…I'm trying to make a good impression." Koromon just cared about Tai.

"Crazy guy…" Tai sighed.

"Oh…Yokomon." Said Sora.

"Tanemon, talk to me!" Mimi held Tanemon in her hands.

"Motimon, say something!" Izzy picked him up. "They must be programmed for courage."

"Gummymon, say something!" Michael picked up his partner. He knew they'd be fine, but still, he was worried about his partner. He did just get him after all.

"Tokomon, what's wrong?" T.K. cried holding his Digimon.

"Hey, Tsunomon, wake up!" Matt told him.

"Bukamon, wake up!" Joe said this, and then heard a noise from the trees. He gasped. "Oh no!"

"Get back!" Michael warned. The kids, holding their Digimon, ran to where Tai was.

"I was hoping we'd seen the last of him." Sora hoped.

"Me too. Guess he had other plans, huh?" Tai joked.

"I knew I should've brought my bug spray!" Matt said.

"I brought some, but it might not be useful at this point." Michael told Matt.

"Okay, get ready to run…" Tai suggested.

"No. We fight!" Koromon countered.

"Huh?" Tai was flabbergasted at his partner.

"That's right. It's the only way. Stand and fight!"

"Give it up, will you?"

"No, Koromon's right. It's time we show him what we're made of!" Motimon said.

"No, don't!" Izzy scolded.

"They are right!" Yokomon agreed with Koromon and Motimon.

"No way. It's useless. You're no match for him, Yokomon." Sora protected her.

"Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go!" Tsunomon flailed in Matt's arms.

"We can do it, we can do it, we can do it, we can do it!" Tokomon wiggled, trying to get free from T.K.

"Come on, come on, come on, come on!" Gummymon struggled.

"Let me go, let me go, let go!" Bukamon said.

"Tanemon, you too?" Mimi asked.

Tanemon nodded. "Uh huh!"

"I'm sorry, Tai." Koromon managed to free himself from his partner and charged at Kuwagamon. "Come on, Digimon!"

"It's useless! Yokomon!" Sora shouted.

"Don't go! Motimon!" Izzy commanded.

"No, wait! Don't do it, Tsunomon!" Matt yelled.

"Don't go! Tokomon!" T.K. cried.

"Be careful, Gummymon!" Michael shouted, still assured of the future, but worried about Gummymon.

"Turn around! Come back, Bukamon!" Joe ordered.

"Tanemon, be careful!" Mimi shouted.

"No, don't! Koromon, come back!" Tai ran after him.

As the kids' Digimon rushed at Kuwagamon, their Digivices glowed. A spiral formed in the sky and eight lights landed on the Digimon.

Time to Digivolve. Michael thought.

"Koromon, Digivolve to…Agumon!"

"Yokomon, Digivolve to…Biyomon!"

"Motimon, Digivolve to…Tentomon!"

"Tsunomon, Digivolve to…Gabumon!"

"Tokomon, Digivolve to…Patamon!"

"Bukamon, Digivolve to…Gomamon!"

"Tanemon, Digivolve to…Palmon!"

"Gummymon, Digivolve to…Terriermon!"

Suddenly, in the place of the tiny friends the kids had met, were larger, more grown-up looking Digimon.

"What in the…look at them! What's happened to the little guys?" Sora wondered.

"They're…bigger!" Tai suggested.

No…they Digivolved. Michael thought.

The eight now-Digivolved Digimon leaped at Kuwagamon, but are again thrown back.

Agumon stood up. "Alright then, you've asked for it!"

"Poison Ivy!" Palmon flung vines from her fingernails, wrapping themselves around Kuwagamon, holding him.

"Boom Bubble!" Patamon sucked in air and fired a bubble of air at Kuwagamon.

"Super Shocker!" Tentomon fired electricity from his wings.

"Terrier Tornado!" Terriermon spun around and hit Kuwagamon with his ears, making him flinch and get down on one knee.

"Marching Fishes!" Gomamon fired fishes that came up to the cliff from the river at Kuwagamon.

"Stand back everyone! Pepper Breath!" Agumon blew a fireball from his mouth.

"Blue Blaster!" Gabumon fired a stream of blue energy from his mouth.

"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon flapped her wings and formed a green energy spiral and aimed it at Kuwagamon.

All the Digimon stood back from Kuwagamon, who was writhing in pain.

"Now, all together!" Agumon commanded. All the Digimon fired their shots again, making him catch fire and fall back into the forest. The kids looked stunned at their new friends.

"They made vaporware out of him!" Izzy said in awe.

"Amazing!" Tai shouted.

"Told you we could do it!" Agumon laughed.

Tai chucked and ran to his partner. "Koromon, or Agumon, or whoever you are! You did it, you did it, you did it!" Tai hugged Agumon and laughed with him.

All of the Digimon ran to their human partners, who greeted them with hugs, high-fives, etc.

"How did I do, Michael?" Terriermon asked.

"You were awesome!" Michael hugged him.

"How about that Super Shocker? Pretty wizard, huh?" Tentomon flew above Izzy, who was giving him a thumbs up.

Suddenly, the group hear Kuwagamon coming back. They all gasp and run to the edge of the cliff. Kuwagamon comes back, clashing his pincers, ready to attack.

"Watch out!" Michael shouted.

"Huh?" Tai looked behind him, and he ran towards the others. "Guess we celebrated too soon!"

Kuwagamon buried his pincers into the cliff, splitting it, and the piece of rock the kids are standing on falls into the river.
