Soon the water turned into colorful streaming lights then lines of moving light. Then darkness as it seemed everything settled in fast. I felt the ground against my back and thought I heard a strange voice calling me.
"Tai. You who, Tai!" it called I opened my eyes.
"Yeah? I'm okay" I say blinking as I slowly get up to be meet by big red eyes surrounded by a pink face and a few sharp teeth sticking out a mouth. "Huh?" I ask sweat dropping a little. Then of course I did the most not guy thing in the world I screamed in fright and tried to run away all I did was stumble and face plant on the ground. I panicked as I sat up."That's the last time I eat camp food!" I exclaimed.
"Hey, you don't need to be afraid of me!" the pink thing exclaimed as it bounced towards me. I tell you I was point five seconds away from calling the calvary. "I am your friend, I'm your friend!" it says continuing to bounce making me more nervous and wondering how the heck it knew my name.
"Just what are you?" I ask the thing in front of me. "Have you had your rabies shots?" I ask it still really freaked out.
"Everthing is gonna alright now Tai" it says as it bounced around me I turned to keep my eyes on it.
"I''ve been waiting for you!" it exclaims jumping at me. I hurried up and tryed to catch it before it could finish its attack, instead it lands in my hands.
"W-W-waiting fot me?" I asked it nervously.
"My name's Koromon and we're partners."it says
"Koromon? That means talking head?"I ask him.
"It means brave little warrior and don't forget it Tai." Koromo says
"So what did you mean you have been waiting for me?" I ask Koromon "and, how did you know my name?!" I say confused. What I did not know is that Izzy was watching us at that moment from behind a tree.
"Tai!?" Izzy called and I jumped a little and looked back at him.
"Izzy that you?" I say relieved to see he was all right.
"Its me and I got this little pink thing following me everwhere." Izzy says looking relieved.
"It is me Motimon at your service! Anybody want lunch?" a pink tall thing says with big round eyes. It walked right up next to Izzy and I was concerned that there may be more of these weird things now. To say I acted calmly would be a lie I once again freaked out and dropped Koromon.
"Another one?!" I exclaimed "What are they?"
"Oh allow me to introduce myself my friends call me Motimon. Well, every one does actually." Motimon says grinning
"I believe those miniature remote digital gadgets have taken on an actual life form." Izzy explains then places his fists on his hips. "I don't remember anything like this in the camp brochure." He says with a thoughtful look.
"Ya think? It's wierd" I say then pause as I look around trying to figure out where I was.
"The veggitation appears lush but, the soil I appears to be rather common." Izzy says.
"Nothing is common in digi world." Motimon says.
"That's right Tai! Your in the digi world." Koromon agrees.
"Just where is the digi world?" I asked them.
"Well I don't care so much about where it is. I want know what it is." Izzy says .
"Guess I'll just have to take a look around myself." I say as I pick a tree and start to climb it too a branch I was sure I could get a good look around. Koromon followed me don't ask me how even today I'm not really sure how he got on that branch. Anyway, I sat on the branch and looked around using my spy glass at first Koromon wasn't there.
"The ocean? What's that doing there? Our campsite was no where near the ocean and I sure don't remember those mountains. Hmm. Something tells me a compass is't gonna help much." I say to myself looking through my telescopic spy glass. That's about the time the long eared Koromon hopped on to the branch next to mine.
"Hey Tai what do you see?" Koromon asked me.
"Nothing I recognize. Huh?" I start to say when I spot something that looked like a giant bug. "Wait, what's that?" I ask as I follow it with my spy glass. "Look at that its some sort of giant red bettle and flying right at us!." I exclamed as it was coming right at me and panic set in.
As it came at me I hung by my knees on the branch I sat on with a loud noise the whole top of the tree came off.
"I can't watch that is one seriously bad Digimon even when he is in a good mood." Motimon says I could hear the fear in his voice as he hide his eyes. Izzy looked pretty freaked out too with his jaw just hanging off the ground.
"Thats just great." Izzy says scared and confused. Well whatever it was it was coming back around towards us. I pull myself back to siting on the branch .
"Watch out!" Koromon shouts and I turn to see the thing coming right for me again. All I can think in that moment is 'I'm dead sorry Kari but, a giant bug ate me please don't tell mom.' as it got closer. "His name is Kwagamon and he is an insectoid and ruthless with teeth like knives and scissor hands that can chop through anything." Koromon informs me.
"Who needs a gardner?" I say trying to look brave with quick humor.
Then Koromon did something really odd, as if talking and knowing my name wasn't odd enough, he blew pink bubbles at Kuwagamon. Though that didn't do much it still tore up the tree knocking us out of it. Still it was a valiant effort I had to give him that. That fall hurt more like sting for a bit and Izzy looked concerned.
"Tai you okay?" he says running up concerned.
"Well I have had better days." I tell him pushing the stinging away. "Little guy!" I shout as the little guy bounced to the ground that looked painful. "You should pick on bugs your own size!" I scold him thinking of Kari I wondered and worried where she is. Now was not the time because there was a giant beetle and it obviously figured us lunch."Whats your name? Koromon?" I asked
"That's me." Koromon says focusing my attention back on him.
"You were pretty brave for a little guy I'm impressed." I tell him I knew right then I had a new friend.
"It was nothing.", Koromon says if these things could blush I swear he would have been right then.
"Uh Tai, he's heading this way again!" Izzy shouts. Right, how could I forget the beetle who wants to eat me?
"Oh dear , oh dear quickly every one!" Motimon says waving his arms up and down. "This way!" he says before dashing into the trees. We all ran away as Kuwagamon took down trees somewhere behind us. "Inside this tree!" Motimon says waving us over. Then jumps into the tree... wait what?
"Let's go!" I say and I put away that question as we charge forward right into the tree well more like through amazingly it was a metal hallow tube.
"What kind of tree is this?" Izzy asks. I don't care if it made the outside look like sushi at this point as long as that thing couldn't get us I'm glad.
"it's a hiding tree silly." Motion says. We all cowar inside, yes even I did, as we listened to Kuwagamon happily slice the tops off trees outside. Not a pleasant sound we stayed like that for a while then the sounds got further away.
"All clear! No need to hide anymore." a familiar voice and we looked at eachother surprised I mean who wouldn't be when one hears a friendly voice after something really freaky happens.
"Sora! You came!" I say as she appears smiling.
"You can come out now." she says looking amused.
"Oh,we were just planning the trap we were gonna set for that big bug...", trying to sound way more braver then I felt. Boy, was I glad to see her maybe Kari is nearby. "Huh?" that's when I noticed she had a pink thing too it had a big flower on its head. It looked like some kind of walking radish, onion, or something with big green eyes.
"I am enchanted to meet you friend of Sora. Welcome." she, defiantly was a girl one, stated.
"Tai, Izzy meet Yokomon. My own personal something or other" Sora says
"Looks kinda like a radish." I say taking a closer look
"Must be another one like the other what ever they are" Izzy says looking at the other two Koromon and Motimon then a really freaky rabbit looking one screeches onto the scene. We all stare dumbfounded.
"Uh oh" I say as it stops and stares at us.
"They are popping up every" Izzy states.
"Hello I am Tokomon. HeyT.K., Kari over here!" it said. Kari she's okay I nearly grin my face off. Wait did he say Tk? WHY IS MY BABY SISTER WITH HIM? I ask myself ready to kick some little boy looked to the trees and we all turned then out of the trees poked the head of a boy in green. I could feel a soft growl in my throat at seeing him.
"Comming!" Tk says happily racing up to the bunny like digimon."Tokomon there you are!"
"Tk, hey wait up!" I heard Kari says when her eyes landed on me bouncing beside her was a head with cat ears and a tail. "Tai come see what I found her name is Nyromon" she says looking rather proud. Behind them came Matt shouting.
"Tk!" he says chasing after them.
"Matt you too? Kari?" I ask relaxing by only a small margin. Then eye the cat head bouncing happily around Kari as she smiles at it
"Yea I am here too" Matt answers.
"No, I meant that under your arm." I clarify.
"Oh, this guy? Yea well..." Matt begins
"Tsunomon is my name and I am quiet pleased to meet you." the head with a horn says shyly. Meanwhile Tk is rubbing his cheek against Tokomons happily with a giggle and a fat grin. Then we heard a familiar scream me and a few others turned confused and startled. In runs Joe screaming his head off looking like something is chasing him.
"Help!" he shouts looking really scared running towards us.
"Joe?" I say then see a weird little grey guy that had flippers a small body that runs into a small tail and a dragon like head with what looks like hair or fur rising out of the top of it's head.
"Help me! This thing, this thing. It won't leave me alone" he says looking really exhausted.
"Hey, who you calling a thing?!" it says climbing up on Joe "I am no stuffed animal the name is Bukamon." it says smiling. Joe screams then looks from him to us looking scared. Joe's eyes land on our odd group.
"Wha… whats wrong wih you guys don't you see this creature hanging off of me? And those creatures standing right there. They're, they're everywhere what are thay?" Joe says startled taking a small step back.
"We're... digimon. Digital monsters" the whole group of little monsters says in sync like they practiced it or something. We all looked at them wide eyed I took a step forward.
"Digital Monster?" I asked them
"Yes Digimon" they all answered.
"We are not just digital monsters. We are much more then that! We're kinda cute." Koromon says with a bright smile.
"And very loyal" Tsunomon says shyly.
"With beautiful hair" Yokomon says with a tilt of her head.
"Or maybe no hair at all." Motimon says extending one of his little arms forward as if looking for a hand shake.
"We can be funny" Bukamon says waving a flipper.
"And adorable" Tokomon says with a grunt sound.
"Don't forget friendly!" Nyromon says waving her tail excitedly.
"It's a pleasure to meet each of you I am Tai and these are my friends from camp " I say introducing myself. "I'd like you to meet Sora." I say introducing Sora.
"Nice place you got here except the bugs." She says.
"An this self proclaimed cool one over there is Matt" I say introducing Matt.
"No autographs please" Matt says playing it cool.
"And this is Joe" I say nodding towards the blunett
"I'd shake hands if you had any" Joe says looking a whole lot more relaxed he smiled big.
"Izzy here is our computer expert" I say moving on.
"Do you have internet access?" Izzy says with a grin.
"This little guy is .." I began.
"TK call me TK and I am not as small as I look" To says smiling.
"And she is Hakari my little sister." I say pointing to Kari.
"Kari please and thank you." Kari says with a bright warm smile that made me want to puff up with brotherly pride.
"There now is that every body?" I ask the group because it felt like we are missing something.
"Hey what happened to that girl with the funny pink hat?" Sora says looking around
"Now, now. Her name is Mimi." Matt says
"Perhaps she is picking flowers. Or going on a nature hike." Izzy says that is about the time we heard a girl scream in the distant we all turn and ran for the sound sure that it is Mimi.
"Somebody help me!" Mimi cried out.
"Okay maybe she I not picking flowers." Izzy says.
"Mimi where are you?" I called out to her.
Through the woods we ran until we caught sight of Mimi running with another digimon the strange little head looks like it had two leafs or something coming out of it's head. I really hope she is not screaming and running from it like Joe had been with Bukamon.
"There she is!" Sora says.
"Mimi its okay!" I say, she keept running and screaming towards us then we saw a tree fly up. Nope she defiantly had a legit reason to be scared.
"It's that big bug again!" I shouted to the others after all I am sure only three of us know this particular monster by now. It took an air dive at us then did a pretty close fly by.
"Mimi are you alright?" the digimon that followed her asked.
"Think so." Mimi says on from her position on the grounds on her knees.
"Don't worry Tanemon is here to protect you." she sats.
Sora rushes up to her placing a hand on her shoulder."it's okay now!" Sora says with a slight worried but more concerned look.
