Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. I would like to, but I don't. I just own the stuff I make up. OK. Whatever. On with the story! I hope you like it. It takes place after the digi destined defeat Piedmon. They're stuck on File Island again.

Chapter 1: The New Arrival

'Another day of walking. Sheesh. We've been walking two days now,' Tai thought as the assembly trudged through the dense forests of File Island. 'Boy, am I tired,' he yawned sleepily. Tai looked to the group. Everyone looked exhausted. Matt and Sora trudged along with TK and Kari on their backs. Everyone else looked defeated. 'We all outta rest,' Tai concluded. "Hey you guys," he spoke up, cracking the silence. TK and Kari woke up from their sleep and drowsily looked at him, along with everyone else. Tai cleared his throat for effect. "Why don't we rest for a day or two? We've been walking around a long time anyway," He smiled. The worn-out group looked at him, then cheered in agreement.

The group stopped by a lake in the forest. Tai lay asleep against a tree, snoring. Kari was fast asleep again, resting next to Tai, but she wasn't bothered by his snoring. However, Agumon rested nearby with his hand over his ears. Matt sat by the lake, staring at the water as he played a low, mystic tune on his harmonica with TK asleep again at his side. His digimon friend Gabumon listened while fishing with Gatomon for lunch. Izzy was working on his computer as usual; Tentomon had gone off to pick fruit in the forest for lunch with Biyomon. Mimi was taking a cool bath privately after the lake bend while her digimon pal Palmon relaxed nearby, making sure Mimi wasn't disturbed. Joe also lay asleep, his feet in the water. Gomamon floated nearby, asleep as well. Sora and Patamon took to starting a fire and preparing lunch.

As Sora prepared lunch, she took a good look at the group.

'Everyone's so different, but then again, through all we've been through, we're all the same,' Sora thought to herself. 'Tai's brave, athletic, cute-' The thought made her smile despite herself. She had become friends with Tai when they were both three. As their friendship aged she began to have a secret crush on Tai. 'Agumon's strong, and really outgoing,' Sora continued. 'Matt's serious, but he's real friendly when around TK, Gabumon's bashful and patient, Izzy's withdrawn and intelligent, Tentomon's caring and smart, Mimi's sincere, but she can be self-centered at times, Palmon's pleasant and emotional, Joe's reliable and edgy, Gomamon's sarcastic and funny, TK's sweet and cheering, Patamon's sensitive and adorable, Kari's mystic and full of light, Gatomon's strong and grave, Biyomon's kind and minding, and I guess I'm loving and safeguarding. Every one of us is completely different from the other, but we're all a team. That makes each and every one of us no different from the person or digimon next to him, but lately that's been disappearing...,' Sora's thoughts were interrupted by Tentomon, flying and screaming frantically as he raced to the campsite.

"Everyone! Come quickly! I have important news!" The tired out digimon shouted. Everyone who was sleeping had awaken. Tai was playing with Kari and TK, Agumon was helping Sora and Patamon with lunch, Joe, Gomamon, and Palmon were fishing with Gabumon and Gatomon, Mimi was relaxing, Matt was fixing his hair, and Izzy was still working on his computer, but as soon as the group heard Tentomon's hollers, they all stopped what they were doing and rushed over.

"Tentomon, what is it?" Izzy asked. "Are you OK?"

"Biyomon! Where is Biyomon? Is she all right Tentomon?" Sora questioned. She grew worried.

"I'm all right Izzy. There's no need to worry Sora. Biyomon's in the forest helping the other human and her digimon," Tentomon said. The group froze.

"Another human?!" Matt sputtered.

"Yes Matt," Tentomon uttered. "That's right. Biyomon and I were picking fruit in the forest for lunch when Biyomon saw something in the clearing. We went to inspect it. Sure enough, when we got there we found a girl and her digimon. The digimon woke up, and before blacking out again she told us that they were attacked by Parrotmon, and that she tried to digivolve to help the girl, but she had been knocked out. Before passing out she saw her human take a lethal blow in the arm. After telling us this, the digimon passed out. Biyomon and I tried to get the young girl to wake up, and the digimon to arouse again, but both just wouldn't stir. Biyomon then told me to come here and get help. I came as fast as I could," Tentomon stated, all out of breath.

"Come on gang! We got to go help!" Tai proclaimed.

"Yea, but some of us should stay here, to look after things and to protect the campsite just in case danger comes," Matt said, disagreeing with Tai a little as always.

"That's a good idea Matt," Sora declared. "I'll go with Tentomon, since Biyomon's in the forest."

"Yea. I'll go too, since Tentomon has to lead us to where the others are," Izzy said.

"I'll go as well. You might need my help," Joe stated.

"Then I guess that means I'm going too," Gomamon replied.

"I'm going," Tai declared.

"Me too," Agumon said.

"Then the rest of us will stay here. Is that all right?" Matt asked.

"Yea," the group replied.

"Then let's go!" Tai shouted. "Tentomon, lead the way!"

"I'd be glad too," Tentomon replied, and with that, the team headed into the forest.
