Before we get started, I want to clarify something that might confuse some of you. The characters in this story ARE the ones from the anime. But only in name and appearance. They are completely different in the other ways. You'll understand this when you get to a certain part of this chapter. Hopefully that makes sense. So enjoy! Remember to please leave reviews, I love feedback more than anything else!


3 Weeks Earlier….

"We have to keep looking. I know there are some humans that can help us."

White blocks were flying all around. The sky appeared to be an odd green with multiple colored slabs flying around. The ground was a light blue with yellow wire looking lines covering it. This was not the Human World. But it was not the Digital World either. This was the "In-Between" as the digimon have grown to call it, the area between the two worlds. Through this area, the Digimon could enter cell phones in the Human World.

Agunimon was talking to another creature that looked very similar to him, except this one was a female. She was much shorter than Agunimon and had light blue skin. She had a dark blue one piece swimsuit like outfit covering part of her body and a matching dark blue headpiece. There were several ruby colored circles on her body and fish like fins where her ears should be.

"But what if we can't find them in time? What will happen to us?"

"We can't worry about that Ranamon. We have to put all out focus on these humans. If not, well I don't want to think of what might happen."

"I know your right, it's just very difficult. We have no idea what has happened to our home after the battle. I just hope Devimon truly was defeated."

"He was. Trust me. No Digimon, no matter what level, could survive that attack. Our world is safe again. But we have a new mission and we cannot procrastinate. Now I'm going to go search around again. The others have already tried. I believe two of them have already found suitable partners. Now please do the same."

"Ok Agunimon, good luck."

Ranamon gave a quick goodbye and began walking off in the opposite direction. She moved her head back and forth looking around the "In-Between". All around her were oval shaped holes which appeared to be a type of window because when you look through them you can see something else, the Human World.

"One of these portals has my new partner in it. But which one is it? Where do I even start? Oh I wish I could ask Lobomon. He would know what I should do."

Ranamon kept walking around the "In-Between" gazing into portals as they passed. After 10 minutes she came to a stop looking very depressed.

"It's not fair, why does it have to be this difficult? I just want to find my partner. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?"

It seemed her wish would come true. Right after screaming this, a portal behind her begam to glow. Sadly Ranamon didn't notice this right away. Her eyes were tightly shut, trying to hold back tears. But the light continued to grow brighter and it was just a matter of time until even her closed eyes couldn't block it. She spun around while whipping her eyes of what tears had escaped.

"What going on? Is someone there? OH, it's a portal! But why is it glowing?"

Ranamon slowly walked closer to the portal, shielding her eyes from the light. But as she grew closer, the light actually began to dim. By the time she was inches away from the portal, the light had disappeared completely. She cautiously gazed into the portal and saw something she couldn't believe, a human girl.

"Is…is this my partner?"

The girl had a yellow tank top, blue jeans that are rolled up at the bottom and red tennis shoes on. Her collar length brown hair is mostly covered by a blue helmet. She appeared to be about the same height and age as Takuya.

"She has to be it. Why else would this portal just start glowing? Ok, it's decided, this girl is going to be my partner! But, um, how am I supposed to get to her? Well this is a portal, maybe I just go through it?"

Ranamon stuck out her hand and into the portal and after safely pulling it back in, she assumes it's safe and began climbing into it and soon she was gone.


"Here is comes!"

Takuya wound up his arm and pitched a baseball. On the other side of the field, the girl with the blue helmet swung. The bat smashed into the ball and knocked it the opposite direction, far across the baseball field.

"Wow, nice hit Sora!"

Takuya ran up to the plate next to Sora and grabbed the bat from her hand.

"But I'm going to show you how a man hits the ball!"

"Sure Takuya."

Sora chuckled to herself and ran off towards the baseball. After retrieving it, she walked over to the pitcher's mound. She stared at Takuya, preparing her pitch. Takuya waited patiently, watching her closely as he gripped the bat tightly. In a matter of seconds, Sora quickly wound up and threw the ball straight towards Takuya. Before he even gets a chance to swing, the ball shoots past him.

"Hey come on, I wasn't ready!"

"Sure you weren't!"

Sora sprinted over to Takuya laughing. She slowed down to a walk, grabbed the ball and tossed it to Takuya.

"Want to try again?"

"Sorry, I can't. My Brothers birthday is in a few weeks and my Mom wants to take me shopping to get a gift for him. I'll catch you later."

Takuya dropped the bat and ran off towards the exit of the field. After he was gone, Sora lazily walked to the middle of the field and flopped down on to the warm grass. She began throwing the ball up in the air and catching it.

"Hello? Hello did I make it through?"

Sora sat up quickly and looked around. But there was no one anyone near the field.

"Who's there?"

"Oh wow, I made it! Excuse me, girl, where are you? I can't see anything. I think I'm in your pocket. That is where humans keep their cell phones right?

"What? What's going on? Where are you?"

"Seriously, it's dark in here."

Sora, thinking she had lost her mind, reached into her pocket, but the only thing in there was her cell phone. She pulled it out of her pocket and held it up.

"I don't know what kind of joke you think your pulling, but you're not in my pocket!"

"Actually I was, now you're holding me up."

Sora realized then that the noise was actually coming from her phone. She gazed at the screen, but couldn't see anything on it, there was only a bright light shining from it.

"Um, please hold on a minute, I'll figure this out."

"Wow, who is talking to me? How did you get my number?"

"Number? What number? Anyways, I think you will want to stand back."

The light from her screen got even brighter, so bright that Sora had to drop the phone and stumble backwards covering her eyes.

"AH! Someone help!"

The light continued to grow stronger and stronger until the entire field was filled with the blinding light.

"Wow, it sure was cramped in there."

The light began to fade and standing on top of Sora's phone was none other than Ranamon, only this time she was transparent. She looked down and picked up the phone.

"Is this what I was in? No wonder it felt so cramped."

Sora opened her eyes and her jaw dropped. Ranamon winked and tossed the cell phone at her. Sora reacted just in time to stop it from hitting her face, and grabbed the phone. She slowly stood up revealing that Ranamon was several feet taller than Sora.

"Who…who are you?"

"My name is Ranamon, and you're my partner!"

"I'm your what?"

"Partner, silly! Pay attention. I'm a Digimon, you are a human. We are going to be partners! The portal told me so!"

"This makes absolutely no sense. Who in the world are you? Tell me the truth!"

"She is telling you the truth. She's just not doing a very good job of it."

Sora was so distracted by this Digimon appearing that she didn't even notice someone walk up to them. She looked to her left and saw her (Fraternal) twin brother Tai standing a few feet away from them. Tai was the same height as Sora. He was wearing a blue shirt with orange stars, a yellow undershirt, brown shorts, white gloves on top of black wristbands and blue and white sneakers. He also has a blue headband which, much like Takuya, had a pair of goggles on top of it.

"Tai, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here because of that Digimon standing in front of you, you need to listen to what she is going to say, trust me."

"What's a Digimon?"

"I am! And I am offended by that. I happen to be one of the Legendary Warriors, the master of the Water!"

"But, how do you know what she is Tai?"

"Because I met one as well."

Behind Tai, another Digimon appeared, and like Ranamon he was transparent as well. This Digimon was much larger than any other we have seen. His entire body was covered in blue and yellow armor, and a large horn was sticking out from the top of his helmet.

"This is Beetlemon, The Legendary Warrior of Thunder. I met him yesterday when he burst out of my cell phone. He explained to me why they have come to our world. Now you need to listen to Ranamon and follow her orders. Our world might depend on it."

"But what am I supposed to do?"

"I can answer that Sora. We Digimon need to find partners so that we can fight. I have a strong feeling that you are destined to be mine. Just imagine it, you and me fighting against the evil to save your world! Wouldn't that be great?"

"But I don't even know what a Digimon is? You expect me to partner up with you all of a sudden? This makes no sense at all!"

Tai walked over to Sora and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Maybe we should explain what is going on first…"

So Tai and the Digimon told her the story of how the Legendary Warriors ended up here, and what they need to do now, of course all this seemed to make Sora even more confused than before. But eventually she seemed to understand, mostly because she trusted her brother.

"Ok, what do I have to do?"

"Well….we need to become one."

"What? How is that supposed to happen?"

"I'll show you."

Ranamon began glowing brightly until she was no longer visible. Everyone covered their eyes and when it was safe to open the, Ranamon had moved to Sora's side.

"We are now one."

"This feels weird. I can hear your thoughts."

"That is the purpose, so we can become one! It will make us so much harder to defeat."

"That is the key if you two are going to be useful once battle happens."

Everyone turns towards Beetlemon, who has spoken for the first time.

"Now hold out your phone, it should turn into a Digivice like Tai's did any minute now"

"He's right, mine did the same thing."

Tai reached into his pocket and pulled out a phone sized device, black in the center with an orange grip. Sora looked down at her hand, then held it up so everyone could see her phone. It began to glow, because it seemed that's all phones do anymore, then started changing shape. It eventually took a shape like the device Tai is holding, except hers was purple in the middle with a pink grip.

"That is your Digivice, using that we can switch places."

"Switch places? What is that supposed to mean?"

Tai started walking towards the exit of the field as Beetlemon disappeared. Ranamon poked Sora, who was trying to figure out what happened to her phone, and pointed this out.

"Wait Tai, where are you going?"

"Home, but promise me you won't tell anybody about what just happened. Also, only the chosen Humans can see the Digimon when they appear. So try not to talk to Ranamon when your around other people, they will think you are talking to yourself.

"Um…ok."

Tai left the baseball field and Sora began to pace around. Ranamon just stood and watched her.

"What just happened? Did I just become a Digimon? How am I supposed to text anybody with this weird device? What is the purpose of all this?"

"I'm sure we will find out soon enough Sora. Please stop pacing around, you're making me nervous."

"I'm sorry Ranamon, but you didn't just find out there is another world and that you are needed to help protect it. I was just a normal 12 year old girl 10 minutes ago. Now I'm expected to fight evil or something? It's just hard to take in."

"Is there any way I can help?"

"No, I just need time to adjust to this."

"Ok, I'll leave you to think."

Ranamon disappeared, which surprised Sora. She looked around for her but the entire baseball field was empty.

"I'm still her…I just assumed you wanted to be left alone."

"Wow, you're talking inside my mind. This is definitely going to take some getting used to."

Sora's Digivice began beeping. She pulled it out of her pocket and looked at the screen. There was an arrow pointing away from her.

"What's happening?"

"It must be reacting to something, most likely another Digimon. It must be one of my friends, they found their partner as well."

"That must be how Tai found me. Should we follow this?"

"Yes, I need to know if my friends have made it here safely as well. Especially Lobomon."

"Who's that?"

"What? Oh, just a friend of mine. He is the Warrior of Light."

"Well let's go investigate."

Sora ran off the baseball field following the direction of the arrow on the Digivice. But what was at the other side of tracker? They would soon find out.
