Tsukino Usagi giggles happily once she had arrived at Summer Camp, she was finally away from her domineering and cruel parents. They never had a kind word to spare for her. That was when a shaggy black haired missile slams into her along with a blue haired missile. Osaka Naru just shakes her head at the antics of hers and Usagi's other two friends, Sanada Ryo and Hashiba Rowen. "I missed you two as well, now, can you let me up? " Usagi asks her two best guy friends.

Both of them look at her sheepishly and get off of her before helping her to her feet. Ryo sighs, " Je suis désolé(I'm sorry), Usa-chan. "

" Vous êtes pardonné(You're forgiven). " Usagi says back in French. She and Ryo were both working hard on French while Rowen helped Naru with her English. Usagi and Ryo had worked longer and harder on English so they could learn another language when the time came.

Usagi finds herself on the receiving end of another tackle hug, this time from her cousin Kamiya Taichi, " Hey, Tai-itoko, looking forward to summer camp? " Usagi asks him.

" Of course, I just wish Kari would have been able to come. "

" I swear Aunt Yuuko and Uncle Susumu are way too damn overprotective of her. " Usagi mutters, " Tai, the dark haired guy is Sanada Ryo, you might be able to convince him to play soccer with you, the blue haired dude is Hashiba Rowen, and the auburn haired girl is my best female friend Osaka Naru. Mina, this is Kamiya Taichi, my paternal cousin. "

" Soccer, huh? You any good? " Ryo asks Tai.

With that the pair were off to play a game of one on one. Naru, Usagi, and Rowen follow them, mostly because they could think of nothing else to do at that moment. Naru and Usagi had already met their cabin mates and found them lacking. It was why they were glad Rowen and Ryo were around, plus, thanks to summer camp Usagi would get to spend some time with her cousin Tai. Her parents tried to keep Usagi as isolated as possible, it just didn't work out too well because Usagi was too good at sneaking around them.

The three of them run across a redheaded boy wearing an orange shirt, khaki shorts, a green backpack, yellow gloves, and purple and black shoes with a yellow lightning bolt on them. He introduces himself as Izumi Koushiro and they start talking about various subjects though Izzy and Rowen seemed to form an instant connection. Mostly because the two of them were easily two of the smartest kids at camp. Naru and Usagi were able to keep up on certain subjects though. They were just content to sit and listen to their blue haired friend talk while they watched Tai and Ryo play a brutal one on one game. It was actually relaxing to sit around and not have to worry about school or chores or anything else. Well, they would have to clean up after themselves but they had no problem with that.

They also meet up with an older dark blue haired kid wearing round wire frame glasses by the name of Kido Joe, he wanted to be a doctor and Rowen was kind enough to bring him into the conversation he and Izzy were having. Usagi pulls out her sketchbook and sets to work, she really wanted to be a manga-ka when she got older so she practiced drawing as often as she could when she was away from her parents. It was Usagi whom noticed a girl all in pink being brutally bullied by hers and Naru's cabin mates. The blonde gets to her feet and her sapphire eyes narrow as she marches over.

Rowen follows her gaze and curses quietly, racing to catch up with his devious female best friend. There was no way in hell he was going to let her go into a situation like that without backup. Usagi steps in between the pink wearing girl and her cabin mates, " Is there any particular reason that you two are actin' like a pair of toddlers instead a acting yer ages? "

Rowen smirks, Usagi-chan had a tendency to slip into his Brooklyn accent when she was really pissed off. She'd been around him long enough to pick it up. The two girls blink and then take in the set of Usagi's body, all females innately knew when they were dealing with an alpha bitch and these two were not going to even attempt to challenge her authority. They back off and the pink wearing girl looks at Usagi, " Arigato, you really didn't need to help me. "

" Like hell I didn't, I'm Tsukino Usagi and my blue haired shadow is Hashiba Rowen. Why don't you come join me with my other friends. " Usagi suggests.

Usagi was quick to do the introductions and her attention turns back to watching her cousin and Ryo continue to play their game. Usagi tells Mimi, as the pink wearing girl's name happened to be Tachikawa Mimi whom the two playing were and actually explains the game for those who don't know how to play. A sweet little blonde haired boy joins them as Usagi is giving her soccer explanation introducing himself as Takaishi Takeru though he liked to be called TK. TK sits beside Usagi as they continue to watch the game, his older brother wanted nothing to do with him and he had wanted to come to camp to spend time with him.

It was a week later when it started to snow, during that week they had run across Kimura Yuuji, a boy around their age with dark hair and dark eyes wearing a dark blue tank top and black denim shorts. Mimi, Izzy, Joe, Yuuji, Tai, Ryo, Rowen, Naru, TK, and Usagi all end up taking shelter together at a little shrine near the camp grounds. When the brief storm ends they all head outside to find an aurora which according to Izzy and Rowen was impossible to see at their geographical location. Thanks to getting to know Usagi and Naru Mimi was starting to lose some of her obsession with possessions. She had even switched to wearing a light pink t-shirt with blue jean shorts though Naru and Usagi had helped her to pack her bag properly.

Usagi and Naru also had their bags with them, Usagi's being a demon hunting backpack which her paternal grandmother had stocked with everything conceivable knowing her granddaughter's penchant for having trouble drop in on her. Ryo and Rowen were also well prepared for anything that could come their way as well since they were used to crazy situations cropping up around Usagi. That was when ten small objects impacted the ground in front of them. Tai, Usagi, Ryo, Naru, and Rowen all grabbed theirs first with the others doing so shortly after. Then they were swept up by a wave of something and they all blacked out.

Ryo comes to with his head resting on Usagi's chest. The eleven year old bolts up and takes in their surroundings. The flora was completely different from what he was expecting and then he sees this sun shaped creature, " Hiya, Ryo, I'm Sunmon. "

Ryo sighs and shakes Usagi awake, " Usa-chan, what has your luck gotten us into this time? "

Usagi's eyes widen as she takes in everything, including the little silver creature that looked like a two tiered rain drop or an upside down morocca. " Hello, Usagi, I am Moonmon, I am pleased to make your acquaintance. "

" Okay, where are we and what all around here is edible? "

While Usagi and Ryo are learning important information Naru and Rowen have woken up to find themselves rather intimately entwined, causing them both to blush and separate themselves as quickly as they could. That was when they saw the small creature that looked like a ball with cat ears and then they spotted the one that looked like a ball with, oddly enough, a horn. " Hello, Naru, I am Nyaromon and I have been waiting a long time for you. "

" Greetings, Rowen,I am Tsunomon, it is an honor to finally meet you. "

Naru and Rowen also start asking questions of their new friends, long association with Usagi had taught them that it was better to get all pertinent information as soon as possible. This meant they learned that they were now in the Digital World, learned what foods were edible, and that the inhabitants were called Digimon. Ten minutes later they have all met up again, Yuuji's partner was Xiamon, Mimi's happened to be Tanemon, TK's partner was Tokomon, Izzy had a little pink ghost with arms that was known as Motimon, and Joe's was Bukamon. Tai's partner was Koromon, a round pink ball with ears that he had found sitting on his chest when he woke up.

Usagi was the first to notice the danger and she sprints off deeper into the woods, Naru, Ryo, and Rowen following her immediately. Tai urges the others to do the same and they realize how smart that had been when they see a giant bug that Motimon identifies as Kuwagamon. " The other way would have ended up with us at a cliff. " Bukamon says.

" Cous, remind me to ask Umika-baa-chan to help me train my sixth sense. " Tai calls out to Usagi.

" I can help you out with that, Tai-itoko. " Usagi calls back, Moonmon in her arms as she flies over the terrain. They had all picked up their partners so they could move at optimum speed.

" I'll take any help you can give me, Usa-itoko. " Tai replies.

Usagi finds a clearing for them and spins on her heel, a steely look in her eyes and the device that they had all received starts to glow. Moonmon jumps out of her arms as a rainbow colored light descends from the sky and bathes the little silver digimon, " Moonmon digivolve to...Lunamon. "

" Tear Shot! "

The attack hits Kuwagamon and Usagi snaps her wrists, two blacks gems appearing on them and a third around a belt in the center of her waist," Lord of Darkness of the four worlds I now call upon you, grant me all the power you possess! Darkness beyond twilight, Crimson beyond blood that flows, Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows, I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand, before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand, Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed, by the power you and I possess...

DRAGON SLAVE! "

Naru curses and immediately throw her strongest barrier spell up with Rowen supplying her with the power for that so no one would get caught up in the explosion that was sure to come, " My best friend just has to be descended from Lina Inverse, doesn't she? " Naru asks over the explosion.

Tai whistles in appreciation, " You got a talent for Black Magic, Usa-itoko. "

" Of course, I do, what did you expect when I'm persona non grata at home. My parents hate me, simply because I was chosen to be Umika-baa-chan's heiress and Shingo wasn't chosen as her heir. " Usagi states.

" That and she's not nearly as innocent as she acts. " Naru states.

Usagi looks at her best friend askance, " Don't give me that look, Usagi-chan, I've known you longer than anybody else here. Hell, you treat my kaa-chan as yours. "

" That's because she actually gives a damn about me. " Usagi states.

Tai blinks, " How bad is it? "

" They refuse to let me anywhere near the rest of the family in fear that one of them might pick up on how they treat me. " Usagi says flatly.

" What about Umika-baa-chan? " Tai asks her.

" Why do you think I'm here at camp? " Usagi retorts.

" When we get home I'll make sure to invite you and Naru over, Usagi, we can have some good old fashioned girl fun. "

Usagi's eyes widen at this and Naru grins, " Mimi, Usagi is not a girly-girl. She hates makeovers. She'd rather play video games, read manga, and train. It's why she and Ryo get along so well. "

Usagi sticks her tongue out at Naru while Izzy is asking the Digimon a million and one questions. Yuuji just looks at the pair of them, just from observing Naru and Usagi he knew they were practically sisters. It did make sense since they did almost everything together back home in Juuban though he hadn't seen them with Sanada or the blue haired boy. Of course, he only really saw them at school so he couldn't really say one way or the other. Rowen was working on calming Joe down. Thanks to the influence of Rowen and Usagi Joe had relaxed some and was no longer worrying about everything like he did. Plus, Usagi had gotten him to realize that sometimes morals had to be tossed aside if it came down to a matter of survival.

Joe hadn't thought that far ahead. He hadn't thought about the fact he could be forced into a situation where stealing was the only way to survive. Rowen climbs one of the trees to get their bearings and leads them to a sandy clearing where they could fish, gather firewood and generally just rest. Lunamon and Tsunomon keep watch while everyone else does their assigned tasks happily enough. Mimi had no problems with helping to gather food while Usagi helped Izzy and TK to do their fishing.

It was Sunmon and Nyaromon that noticed the trouble and they reacted by digivolving up to their champion levels, " Sunmon digivolve to...Coronamon. Coronamon digivolve to...Firamon. "

" Nyaromon digivolve to...Salamon. Salamon digivolve to...Darcmon! "

" Flame Dive! "

" La Pucelle! "

Ryo and Naru turn their attention to their partners, unknown to Ryo his Kanji symbol of Virtue is flashing on his head while Naru's own sigil of three stars in the background of the Venus sigil is also flashing. Thankfully only Usagi and Rowen noticed this little detail. Shellmon sends a pressurized stream of water towards Usagi causing Firamon to leap in front of her, he'd already picked up on how important she was to his partner, " Lunamon digivolve to...Lekismon! Moon Night Kick! "

" Dancing Sword! "

" Fira Claw! " Firamon adds.

Rowen pulls Usagi aside and the blonde barely manages to keep her own sigil from flashing. This was not going to be where she outed herself to anyone and everyone. She had to keep her sigil from showing at all costs. There was no way in hell she was going to allow any of her senshi to know the truth about her if she could help it. Rowen, Ryo, and Naru all understood her stance on that particular point. None of the senshi had proven that they were worthy of her trust. Darcmon flies above Shellmon while Lekismon and Firamon keep him distracted on the ground. One La Pucelle later and Shellmon has been dealt with. Darcmon reverts to Salamon, Firamon to Coronamon, and Lekismon goes back down to Lunamon. All in all their trip to Digiworld was proving to be quite adventuresome. They hadn't even been here for a day yet and they'd had to deal with two battles already.

What none of them realized was that the worst was yet to come. They were all that was standing between their world, the Digital World, and utter destruction. Ryo and Rowen being called would allow for a certain digimon to be utterly destroyed when the time came unlike in several other dimensions where Takenouchi Sora and Ishida Yamato were called as the children of Love and Friendship. Naru would get the Crest of Love while Yuuji would get Friendship. This one change would send out ripple effects, cutting Inoue Yolei/Miyako from the running as the inheritor of Love and Sincerity.
