Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, so please, don't sue me. Digimon belongs to Toei. Though I think that whoever wrote the Digimon Christmas episode has a warped mind. I mean, they had Taiora hints throughout 01 and the movie, and all of a sudden, she goes to Matt? Anyway, I'll stop rambling right about now.

Notes: Okay, basically, this the storyline, Tai and his group never go to the Digital World, and then everybody in 02, along with some International Digidestined that I liked, go to summer camp and gets sucked into a strange dimension... blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I sort of merged the 01 and 02 storylines, and I changed events, and some people will be very different from 01, but remember, nobody had a wonderfully changing (sarcasm) experience in the Digital World that made them a better person, so some of the 01 kids (very later in the story) are big jerks.

Lost Destiny

By The Traveler

"And So It Begins... Finally"

You wouldn't believe what happened when I and eight of my friends went to summer camp.

Oh yeah, my name is Daisuke Motomiya, but you can just call me Davis, the greatest soccer player of all time! You see these goggles? I got these from Tai Kamiya, who might even be better than me at soccer! Only on my off days though.

The guy in the school uniform over there is Ken Ichijouji, and he's a real genius. He is the second best soccer player ever, and our teams play against each other occasionally, but we're still best buddies.

Now that guy over there is a major jerk. The blonde boy with the Gilligan hat, his name is Takeru Takaishi, better known to his friends as TK. Now, since I'm not his friend, his name to me is TC, or TA, or something else.

We have a rivalry going because my mentor Tai Kamiya, and TK's mentor/brother, Matt Ishida really hate each other. So their rivalry sort of became our rivalry. I think Tai and Matt were arguing over a girl...

Speaking of girls, that cute girl with the pink shirt, gloves, and whistle around her neck is Kari Kamiya, the prettiest girl in the whole wide world, and my sort-of girlfriend. I met her when I asked Tai for some help with my soccer skills and we've been best friends ever since. Back when she was younger, she and TK were friends, but ever since Matt decreed that the Kamiya family (and me) are demons, he's been pretty hostile towards her.

The quiet kid over there next to the purple hair girl, his real name is Iori Hida, but for some reason he tells everyone to call him Cody. How he got the nickname Cody, I'll never know. He is younger than me, but according to everyone, he acts a lot more mature. I don't really know that much about him except that he takes kendo, and is on his way to becoming a kendo champion.

The noisy girl's name is Miyako Inoue, but everyone calls her Yolei. Again, I don't get it. She and Cody are best friends, and I guess they do complement each other. One is loud and obnoxious, the other quiet and polite. We don't really get along, since she insults me, I insult her, and then she tries to clobber me while I run away teasing her. She has a major crush on Ken, and Ken seems to have some feelings for her, which is one reason why she hasn't killed me yet- I'm Ken's best friend.

The tall boy over there is Micheal. He is an exchange student from New York City. He is fluent in Japanese, and is staying with the Kamiyas. I don't know why he chose to come to a Japanese summer camp.

That cute girl talking to TG is Catherine Conrad, another exchange student. She comes all the way from France. She speaks pretty good Japanese, though she still has a bit of a French accent. There are hints of sparks between her and TC, but he is just like his big brother- cold and calm.

Oh yeah, that boy standing at the edge of the clearing where all of us are, his name is Willis Walker. He's staying with my family. He's a loner, but once he opens up he's a pretty nice dude. The problem is that I'm the only one so far who has made any headway so far. I was very surprised when he chose to come to summer camp.

Now that I think about it, not that many exchange students come to Odaiba, and all of sudden all three of them come to this summer camp.

Of course that thought disappears when it starts snowing- in August!

***

(AN: This is no longer in Davis' point of view. I'm just following the first episode when Tai introduces everyone, but I made the descriptions much longer for my fic. Now back to the fic.)

At first, it was only one little snowflake, and then suddenly, a massive snowstorm descends on the camp, lowering the temperature to near freezing. All of the kids hurried into the buildings followed by Mr. Fujiama.

"Not again," muttered the camp counselor.

"What do you mean Mr. Fujiama?" asked Davis. "You mean that this has happened before?"

Mr. Fujiama nodded. "Yeah, three years ago, on this exact day, a snowstorm like this happened, and the next thing I knew, camp was canceled because we didn't want to explain why all of the kids are suddenly sick."

Outside, the wind stopped howling as the storm stopped as suddenly as it had started.

"Well, looks like the canoe races are canceled," Davis said as he opened the door of their little hut. "So lets have toboggan races instead!"

Davis ran out to play with the new snow.

"Brr. It's cold," Kari said as she looked out. "And I didn't bring a jacket." She followed Davis up the slope of the hill.

"Come on TK," Catherine called as she raced outside and started packing snow together. "Let's build a snowman."

"Coming Catherine," TK answered. He stopped to look around. Why do I get this strange feeling of deja vu, he wondered. It wasn't deja vu exactly, but he subconsciously had almost been expecting this snowstorm.

"Davis, wait for me," Ken called as he came out late and started running after his best friend.

"Its too cold to have fun now," Yolei muttered as she saw Ken run away. "Stupid Davis. He just had to run out, and now Ken has to follow him."

"Well, that's just typical Davis," comment Cody as he stood by her in the hut.

Mr. Fujuama stepped out and pulled out his cell phone. He opened it and listened for a tone. He shook his head.

"The phones are out again. I'm going to the main building and I am going to call for a bus. Now, I don't want any of you kids to wander away while I'm gone, okay?"

Mr. Fujiama waited for an answer.

"..."

He sighed. "I'm definitely need to find a better summer job."

"Hey, what's with the sky?" Davis said looking up.

"Man, the sky looks like its short-circuiting," remarked TK as he looked up at the sky.

"Is it an aurora?" asked Kari to no one in particular.

"That's impossible," answered Ken. "The Aurora Borealis, or the Northern Lights, are seen only in Alaska. We're way too far south for something like that."

Willis was watching the spectacle in the sky from a distance.

"Why do these things always happen to me?" he asked. He looked down at the small device in his hand and his eyes darkened as painful memories surfaced.

"Look!" shouted Micheal.

In the middle of the sky a green swirling vortex had appeared. Then eight things came flying out of it and flew towards the gathered group. They were glowing and one landed in front of each of them.

"Are these meteors?" Cody asked. The 'meteors' started to glow, and they could now all see a distinct shape. "I guess it isn't meteors than."

The objects slowly floated up, glowing softly.

"What are these things?" Davis grabbed the one in front of him, and saw that it vaguely resembled a pager. Most of it was white, but the edges of it were a cerulean blue.

"Maybe they're some sort of digital gadget, or... or... Digivice" Yolei said as she grabbed hers.

"Is this how they're supposed to look?" TK's Digivice was white with green.

"Why is mine's entirely black?" Ken's Digivice was colored in different shades of black.

"I know what you mean TK. I somehow get the feeling that they're supposed to be... smaller and not so colorful," Kari said, looking at her pink-trimmed Digivice.

"What are we supposed to do with them?" Cody said, examining his yellow one.

"Maybe they're cell phones," Micheal suggested. He was turning his dark green Digivice over, looking for buttons.

"Then where are the speakers and instructions," Catherine said, looking at her violet Digivice.

"Forget the instructions," Davis shouted, seeing something even more important. "Surf's up!"

A tidal wave had appeared and was going to hit them in a moment!

They all turned away and started running, but then they were all falling, and they were surrounded by walls of water.

As Davis was falling and screaming, he thought that he heard Yolei shout "I should've gone to computer camp instead!" before he lost consciousness.

***

When Davis woke up, he felt a small weight on his chest. By the time he was completely awake, he could see what was on his chest- a small blue monster.

"Ahhhhh!" Davis screamed and jumped up.

"That is the last time I eat camp food," Davis said as he backed away as fast as possible.

"Hey, you don't need to be afraid of me!" said the little blue monster. "I'm your friend, I'm your friend, I'm your friend!" it said exuberantly while jumping up and down.

"Uh, just what are you?" Davis asked the bouncing monster. "Have you had your rabies shots yet?"

"Everything's going to be alright now Davis, I've been waiting for you." The little blue thing was still jumping.

"Waiting for me?" Davis asked, still stunned that he was talking to a cute little blue monster.

"My name's Demiveemon!" The blue monster threw itself at him and Davis caught him in his hands And we're partners!"

"Demiveemon? And that means talking monster?"

"It means mini victory monster! That means we'll always win! And don't you forget that Davis!"

"So what did you mean you've been waiting for me? And how did you know my name?"

"Davis?"

Davis turned around and saw a boy standing by a tree.

"Ken, is that you?"

"It's me," Ken said. "And I've got this little green thing following me around everywhere."

Tai saw what looked like a pale green head attached to a pinecone floating besides Ken.

"Hi, I'm Minomon," said the cute little monster. "I am at your service. Would anybody like lunch?"

Davis yelped and let go of Demiveemon, who landed easily.

"Another one? What are they?"

Ken stepped forward. "I have a theory that those, what did Yolei name them, oh yeah, Digivices have somehow turned into tiny monsters. I don't remember anything like this in the camp brochure."

"Ya think?" Davis asked sarcastically. "It's weird." Davis started to look around.

"The vegetation is lush," Ken said, looking at all the plants, "but the soil appears rather common."

"Uh Ken," said Minomon. "Nothing is common in Digiworld."

"That's right," Demiveemon said happily. "You're in the Digiworld!"

"And just where is the Digiworld?"

"Oh, I don't care so much about where it is. I want to know what it is."

"Guess I'll just take a look around for myself."

Davis started climbing a tree and then sat down on one of the higher branches. He fished in his pockets, and pulled out a telescope, another gift from Tai, and looked around.

"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 going to help much."

Davis heard a bouncing sound and saw Demiveemon jumping from branch to branch.

"Hey, Davis, what do you see?" asked his "partner."

"Nothing I recognize," the goggle-boy answered. "Huh? Wait. What's that?"

Davis saw a huge red bug flying in the sky.

"Look at that. It's some sort of giant red beetle. And its flying right at us. Ahhh!"

Davis leaned backward and just barely dodged the claws of the giant red beetle. From his now horizontal position, he saw that the claws had taken off the entire top of the tree.

Down below, Minomon winced and tried to cover his eyes with his tiny arms.

"I can't watch. That is one seriously bad Digimon, even when he's in a good mood!"

"That's just great," Ken managed to say.

Davis managed to sit up again on his branch.

"Watch out!" Demiveemon warned. "His name is Kuwagamon. He is an insectoid Digimon. Vicious and ruthless, with teeth like knives and scissor-hands that can chop through anything.

"Who needs a gardener?" Davis screamed as he saw the big bug heading towards him.

Demiveemon jumped at Kuwagamon and blew some bubbles at him. The bubbles didn't do much but they did manage to bother Kuwagamon enough that instead of crashing and cutting Davis in half, he only crashed into the top of the tree, knocking Davis off.

"Whoa!" Davis landed hard on the ground with Ken heading towards him.

"Davis, you OK?"

"Well, I have had better days."

The blue little thing then landed nearby.

Davis stood up and ran towards him. "Little guy!"

It looked like it was pretty tired out. "You should pick on bugs your own size." Davis picked him up "What was your name, Demiveemon?"

"That's me."

"You're pretty brave... for a little guy. I'm impressed."

That caused it to smile. "It was nothin'."

"Uh, Davis," Ken called, "he's heading this way again."

"Quickly everyone, this way," Minomon said floating away.

The two boys took off running after the floating Digimon.

"Inside this tree." Motimon jumped towards what appeared to be the solid side of a tree and disappeared.

Ken hesitated, not believing what he was seeing, but Davis grabbed Ken with his right arm with the other arm holding Demiveemon and jumped.

Once inside, Davis and Ken were amazed to find that they were inside what appeared to be a tall metal cyclinder.

"What kind of tree is this?" Ken asked.

"It's a hiding tree, silly," Minomon said as if everyone should know that.

They could still all hear Kuwagamon roaring, so they all crouched down.

"Quiet now. Don't make a sound," Ken said while keeping his head covered.

After a few seconds, the roaring stopped. Davis and Demiveemon looked up cautiously.

"All clear , no need to hide anymore," said a voice.

The four of them poked their heads out through the side of the tree. Outside, they saw...

"Kari!" Davis said, happy to find another friend.

"You can come out now," she said.

"Uh, Kari," Davis said, a bit embarrassed. "We were just planning the trap we were going to set for that big bug."

They heard a purring sound and looked down and saw a white something hugging Kari's leg.

"Nice to meet you friends of Kari," it said.

"Guys, meet Salamon," Kari said. "My own personal something-or-other."

"Looks kind of like a puppy," Davis remarked.

"Must be another one of them," Ken observed. "Like the other-whatever they are."

Demiveemon and Minomon were waiting patiently on the side, when a... white bouncing head jumped in front of them.

"They're popping up everywhere," Ken said, amazed that there was more.

"Hello, I am Upamon," it said. "Hey Cody, over here."

Out of the bushes walked Cody, with a kendo sword strapped onto his back. And right behind him came a taller boy wearing a hat and carrying a white hamster under his arm.

"Hey, TK, you too?" Davis asked.

"Yeah, I'm here too," answered the blond boy.

"No, I meant that under your arm," Davis said pointing to the white hamster.

"Oh, this guy," TK said, looking down at the tiny monster. "Yeah, well..."

"Hello, you look nice," it said. "I'm Tokomon"

There heard a scream from the bushes to their left and then a cry for help.

"Yolei?" Davis asked.

"Help me. This thing. This thing." Yolei stopped, panting. "It won't leave me alone."

"I'm not a thing," said the flying pink head. "My name is Poromon."

"Why are you all just standing there?" Yolei asked. "Don't you see this creature? And all those creatures standing right there. They're, they're everywhere, what are they?"

The group of six said in unison "We're Digimon, digital monsters."

"Digital monsters?" Davis repeated.

"Yes, Digimon."

"We're not just digital monsters, we're... kinda cute," said Demiveemon.

"And very loyal," added Minomon.

"We have wonderful fur," said Poromon.

"Or maybe no hair at all," said Upamon.

"We can be adorable," said Tokomon.

"And very huggable," finished Salamon.

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you. I'm sure you've all heard of me, the great Davis."

"I have," Demiveemon said.

"And these are my friends from camp." Davis motioned to the others.

"Nice place you've got here," Kari said. "Except for the bugs."

"The Gilligan wannabe is TC."

"That's TK, you idiot," TK growled at his rival.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. The girl with the glasses is Yolei."

"Do you have Internet access?" she asked, pointing at the purple laptop strapped to her back.

"The boy over there is Ken, our resident genius."

"I'd shake hands, if you had any," he said.

"And last, but not least, his name is, uh..."

"Cody," the younger boy finished. "And I'm not as small as I looked."

"Is that everybody?" Davis looked around, making sure everyone was there.

"What about those two exchange students?" Kari reminded them.

"Their names were Micheal and Catherine," TK answered.

"Maybe they're on a nature hike, or they're picking flowers, or-" Ken suggested until they all heard a voice.

"Somebody help us!"

All six of them turned toward the direction the voice had come from and started running towards it.

"Okay, so they're not picking flowers," Ken said dryly as they ran. In the distance they heard a familiar roaring.

They saw two kids ran out, each followed by a Digimon, come running towards them, closely followed by Kuwagamon. Everybody ducked as Kuwagamon flew over them and back into the trees.

Micheal had to stop for Catherine who was panting heavily. What looked like a flower with legs and a green frog were waiting patiently by their side.

"Don't worry Catherine," they heard it say, "I, Floramon, and Betamon here will protect you and Micheal."

"It's okay now," TK and Kari said going over to comfort them.

"Oh, so all the rest of you are also here, huh?" Micheal asked, looking around the group.

"Watch it. Here he comes again!" Davis shouted as Kuwagamon circled around for another try at decapitating them.

"Run!" Kari shouted as they resumed their sprinting.

"Down!" TK shouted as he forced Cody down, and everyone else also went down, just narrowly avoiding Kuwagamon's claws.

"Will this nightmare never end?" Yolei asked as she looked around fearfully. She then noticed that she was now wearing a helmet. "Hey, when did I get new clothes?"

Davis turned back around to stare at Kuwagamon. "That's it! No more running! I say we stand and fight!"

"But what can we do?" TK asked.

"We have no chance of fighting and winning, anyway," Ken spoke up.

Davis didn't like it, but he had to concede to reason, so they continued running, until they reached a cliff.

Davis slowly walked towards the edge and looked over. It was a sheer drop.

"There's no way down," he called back to everyone else. "We'll have to find another way."

But that option disappeared when an angry Kuwagamon flew out of the trees and aimed straight for Davis.

Demiveemon leaped out of Davis' arms and blew bubbles towards Kuwagamon. The tiny attack distracted Kuwagamon enough that it missed Davis.

As Kuwagamon circled around again, all of the digimon leapt towards it, launching their various attacks, which consisted of mostly bubbles and tackles. They didn't seem to damage the big red beetle much, but they did distract him enough that he missed the group of children and crashed into the trees behind.

"Demiveemon, are you okay?" Davis asked, running over to his injured partner.

Nearby, the other kids were also checking on their partner's condition.

Kuwagamon arose once again out of the trees and roared.

In Davis' arms, Demiveemon struggled to get out.

"No way, that beetle is way too much for you to handle," Davis protested as the cute blue Digimon continued to struggle.

Davis heard the others also object to having the Digimon do a suicide run at Kuwagamon. But before he could anything, Demiveemon jumped out of his grasp, and he saw all of the other Digimon follow him.

"No Demiveemon/Minomon/Salamon/Tokomon/Upamon/Poromon/Betamon/Floramon!" shouted the children as they saw their "friends for life" run towards a much larger opponent.

Unnoticed to anyone, their Digivices started to glow with a green light.

Six of the eight Digimon paused as beams of light from the sky hit them. Betamon and Floramon waited behind them.

Demiveemon started to spin around as he said "Demiveemon digivolve to... Veemon!" The small blue monster had now become... a slightly larger version of itself with hands.

"Minomon digivolve to... Wormmon!" The pinecone-head was now a pale green worm, as his name implied.

"Salamon digivolve to... Gatomon!" The puppy had turned into a puss in gloves, with a long tail and a golden ring that previously been her collar on perched on it.

"Tokomon digivolve to... Patamon!" The white monster had changed to a... orange hamster with wings.

"Upamon digivolve to... Armadillomon!" The white head grew into an armadillo.

And finally, the pink head with wings... "Poromon digivolve to... Hawkmon!" The Digimon resembled a hawk with legs, and a headband on its head along with a single feather.

The now larger Digimon looked up determined at their foe, trying to scare him away.

Which didn't work, of course.

Kuwagamon gave a challenging roar, and charged.

Veemon leapt forward, shouting "Vee-Headbutt!" and hitting Kuwagamon right in the face- or where his face should be. Kuwagmon rocked back, stumbling, and then falling over as a "Silk Thread!" from Wormmon tied up his feet.

"Lightning Claw!" This attack really hurt Kuwagmon, almost knocking him off the cliff.

"Boom Bubble!" Patamon sucked in air, inflating himself, and then released it in a big

bubble that knocked Kuwagamon back into the trees.

"Yeah! We did it!" shouted all of the Digimon as Kuwagamon stayed down.

Seeing that the danger was over, everyone ran over to their partners.

"Whoa, how did you get so big all of a sudden?" Davis asked Demiveemon.

"Well, you see..." Veemon started to say, when they heard a very familiar roar.

Kuwagamon stood up again, looking very, very mad.

"Geez, doesn't he know when to stay down?" Davis said as he backed away with Veemon and the rest of the group followed behind him.

Davis expected it to take to the air again and charge them, but instead, he struck the ground with his horn.

Davis fell down and asked of no one in particular, "That's it?"

Kuwagamon again hit the ground, and they heard the sound of cracking rock.

"Oh no! Kuwagamon is causing the cliff to fall off!"

The group could do nothing except watch as Kuwagamon struck the cliff a final time and then the ground beneath them started falling off.

"Ahhhh!!!" was the collective shout as the eight kids all fell to their doom...

To be continued...

Hey how was that for a first chapter? I'm sorry it took so long, but I had to find my copy of the first season episode one, and then I accidentally recorded over it (grabs a huge mallet and knocks himself out) (two hours later). Sorry bout that. Anyway, after this, for all of the episodes of the Devimon arc, I'm going to use my imagination. I unfortunately haven't seen most of the early Digimon episodes, so I'll try to follow the basic storyline, but all of the details will be wrong.

WHY DID FOX KIDS START RERUNNING 02?

I wanted to watch 01 during the summer. Oh well, this is the traveler, signing off.

Please read and review, and any flamers will be zapped big time by Raidramon.
