Author's note: This kicks off right where the prologue ends. And since I already slapped a disclaimer on the prologue, I do not feel it is necessary to have one on each chapter.
Rating: G, nothing too bad here.

"Is everyone alright?" Tai said as he dusted himself off.
"A little worse for the wear, but I should be okay." Matt replied attempting to rub his sore arm with his equally sore hands.
"I'm alright," said Joe.
"Me too," added T.K.
"Everyone else seems to be intact." Sora speculated.
"Good, then let's go find our digimon, so we can return to the real world and stop those evil digi-dorks." Tai shouted.
"Mimi?!"
A voice could be heard off in the distance.
"Mimi it's really you!!" It was Palmon followed by a few other familiar digimon.
"Gabumon!" Matt yelled.
"And Patomon!" T.K. squealed in delight.
"Where's Gomamon?" Joe asked scratching his head.
"Right here Joe, did ya miss me?!" Gomamon called as he launched himself at his best friend.
Augumon, Tentomon, Biyomon, and Gatomon were not far behind. Everyone enjoyed the little reunion, but after the pleasantries, Tai decided that it was time to get down to business.
"Listen up everyone, we're going to need your help in the real world." he began.
"Matt, what happened to your arm and your hands!?" Gabumon interrupted.
"That's what I was about to get to!" Tai said waving his hands in the air for dramatic affect.
"Oh, sorry Tai, continue." Gabumon apologized.
"There's a new threat to us digi-destined. There are two new evil digimon after us. Maremon and Fearmon."
"I've heard of them," Tentomon stated, "They're bad news. What do they want with you guys Tai?"
"Izzy heard from Gennai, that they want revenge against us for destroying the dark masters."
"Well, we won't let them do anything to harm you!" Patomon insisted from atop T.K.'s head.
"I think you're a little too late for that Patomon," Augumon mentioned, "just look at Matt."
"I'll thrash that no-good Maremon!" Gabumon threatened.
"Well, if we're going to do any kind of thrashing, don't you think we should get back to the real world?" Kari suggested.
"She's right," Sora admitted, "We aren't doing much sitting around here talking."
"Come on you guys let's go!" Mimi shouted, "I have a hair appointment tomorrow that I don't want to miss!"
Izzy began to type on his laptop, "Hang on a sec guys while I get Gennai to re-open the digi-port."
"Those digi-dweebs won't know what hit them when I get a hold of them!" Gatomon bragged, "No one's going to hurt Kari while I'm around."
"Thanks Gatomon!" Kari smiled.
The digital gateway opened and the eight children and their digimon entered.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, two very angry and very evil digimon sat brooding at eachother.
"This is all your fault Maremon, you let them get away!" Fearmon shrieked.
"If it hadn't been for you, I would have destroyed that one child, and we'd have one less digi-destined to worry about!" Maremon retorted.
"Next time, stick to the plan!"
"What plan? We were just supposed to go in and annihilate them!"
"You fool! In order to successfully beat these kids we need to separate and take them down one by one. They're too powerful as a team!" Fearmon hissed.
"But now they'll have their digimon!" Maremon whined.
"And who's fault is that!? We could have pulled this off before they even had time to get their digimon!"
"We can still do this! I'm much more powerful than any lone ultimate digimon, remember, I was created by darkness!" Maremon boasted.
"Aren't you forgetting that I am too! That's why we need to single them out!" Fearmon rolled his eyes in exasperation. "We'll strike again tonight! While they're asleep!"
Maremon rubbed his hands together and smiled, "Oh, my favorite time of day." He laughed, and they both began to cackle incessantly.
"Tai we've been out all day, and there still hasn't been any sign of these evil digimon, I'm ready to call it quits for the day." Joe complained.
"I agree. We need our rest." Izzy added.
"It is getting rather late." Tentomon chimed in.
"My mom's going to flip if I'm not home before dark, and the sun's going down right now Tai!" T.K. said.
"Oh alright, but we meet back here first thing in the morning." Tai finally gave in, and the children parted ways with their digimon.
After a few blocks, Matt began to converse with Gabumon.
"It'll be nice to have you around again Gabumon. My dad usually doesn't get home until late, so you can keep me company." Matt smiled.
"That reminds me Matt, what's for dinner?" Gabumon blushed.
"Is that all you can think about?" Matt laughed.
"Sorry, I haven't had anything to eat in hours, I'm starving."
"Well, I'll fix you something when we get home."
"Yum! Sounds good already!" Gabumon smiled and rubbed his stomach.
"Look Izzy, it's already dark out!" Tentomon exclaimed. "I hope your mom won't be too upset."
"It's alright Tentomon, she knows you're with me. Wow am I hungry, it must be dinnertime."
"Dinner!? Walk faster Izzy!"
"Why, we're almost there?"
"It might be all gone by the time we get there!"
"Don't worry Tentomon, my mom usually cooks enough to feed an army of Nomamon."
"Well, I certainly hope you didn't invite them!"
Izzy just shook his head and laughed, and the two continued on their way.
Later on that night, after everyone had gone to sleep, the two evil digimon went in search of their victims. Fearmon went to look for Tai and Kari's house, because he figured that destroying the leader of the digi-destined would ensure their victory. He sent Maremon to finish the job he had started.
Fearmon stole into the Kamiya residence. He rampaged down the halls until he found the room he was looking for. Tai was sound asleep with Augumon at the foot of his bed.
"First I must get rid of this pest," he said as he made his way towards Augumon. A mystical smoke came from his fingertips and encircled Augumon. Fearmon clenched his fist and the smoke bound the orange dinosaur. He woke with a start.
"Tai—" he mumbled before the strange smoke wrapped around his mouth, preventing him from speaking.
Tai slowly opened his eyes and groggily looked over in Augumon's direction.
"Huh!" he cried as he realized what was going on.
Fearmon threw his hand up and a powerful force knocked Tai back into the wall.
"Augumon you have to digivolve!" Tai shouted.
"He can't do anything while I have him in my Nightshade Bind!" Fearmon laughed.
"Kari!" Tai screamed.
Tai's little sister burst into the room with Gatomon.
"Tai!" she called.
"Don't worry Kari, I'll help them," said Gatomon.
The feline digimon jumped into action. She rushed towards Fearmon, claws outstretched ready to strike, when his Terror Blast knocked her back into Tai.
The small feline looked up at Tai, "I want to digivolve Tai, but I can't do it in your house, I'd be too big. We need to take this fight outside!"
Augumon finally managed to break free of the Nightshade Bind and gave Fearmon a blast of his Pepper Breath, while he was distracted by Gatomon's attack. Fearmon easily deflected the attack and was now becoming more agitated. He swooped down and picked up Kari and carried her out the window.
"Gatomon! Tai! Help me!!" she cried as she was lifted into the night sky.
"I'm coming Kari!"Gatomon yelled as she jumped out of the window after her friend.
"Gatomon digivolve to…Angewomon!!!"
With that, the spunky feline digimon evolved into her champion angelic form and flew after the dark digimon that held Kari captive.
"Augumon go help!" Tai called out to his digimon.
"Right! Augumon digivolve to…Greymon!!!"
The dinosaur digimon began his pursuit on foot, while Angewomon took to the skies. The pursuit did not last long. Angewomon hit Fearmon with one of her Celestial Arrows, which caused him to drop Kari. Greymon caught her, and the evil digimon fled, until he had a better opportunity to attack.
"These guys seem pretty weak, compared to the Dark Masters," Angewomon commented before transforming back into Gatomon.
"Yeah," Greymon agreed as his body shrunk down into the form of Augumon. "It only took one hit with your Celestial Arrow to make him give up."
"We shouldn't underestimate these digimon though, we don't know what they're capable of." Tai added. "Kari, are you okay?"
"Yeah Tai, just a little shaken up is all." she replied.
"We should call the others and warn them, just in case Maremon or Fearmon decides to show up at their houses tonight."
"Good idea," said Augumon as Tai reached for the phone.
Well, this is where I'm leaving off. If anyone likes it so far, review and I'll continue.
