Me: You're all still here? I haven't scared anyone away yet? Ah, that's good to know XD.
Guilmon: They haven't seen your face or learned what you look like yet, wait until they have to ask if they're scared or not yet (grins).
Me: GUILMON!!!!!!!!! XD. Good Point :P
Guilmon: I know, aren't I just the nicest Digimon you've ever met? :D
Me: Actually……yes, when you're not playfully insulting me
Guilmon: Ah, you're no fun anymore, I'm gonna go have a staring contest with this rock (starts staring at a rock)
Me: Guilmon…. XD, have fun little brother…As you can see folks, he finally let me down out of the tree so that I could make this chapter longer than the other one, enjoy.
Guilmon: mmhm (still staring at the rock, not really paying any attention) Must….win….staring contest with inanimate object… O.O.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a quiet afternoon, no birds were out on the day the new generation of Tamers went out to begin their quest, the sun was shining high in the sky by the time everybody got to the designated area. "Is everybody here?" A voice called out. It belonged to a brown haired, boy with deep brown eyes, this was Jake, a strong-willed sixteen year old who thought with his heart more than he did his mind and was totally loyal to his team and his partner Guilmon, whom he nicknamed Guile.
"You know it" Another boy replied with a grin, this was Victor Hunter, a dark-haired, seventeen year old with brown eyes, who loved fighting (no I mean seriously, LOVED fighting), and who was also, the leader of the group, his Digimon was Tachomon/Tajumon, a small lion, well, relatively small.
"I think I'm here" A girl joked looking down at herself, this was Addie Tridier, a kind-hearted 16 year old who had a big heart, dark blond with blue eyes, her Digimon is Mittenmon, who is actually the girlfriend to Jake's Guilmon, which is interesting since both tamers are smitten for each other.
"Let's hurry up and trash them all" A younger boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes replied, this was Kristopher (Kris) McGee, a fourteen year old who acted a bit crazy, but generally had a good heart, his Digimon is BlackGatomon.
"I made it," Said an uppity boy, this was Chris, he's eighteen, his Digimon was Magknightmon, and he had dark brown hair, with blackish eyes, he had been trying to take Vic's position for quite some time now, nice enough, but pretty treacherous if you didn't watch your step.
"Present and accounted for" A girl replied, this was Grace Lombardo, a nineteen year old girl with brown hair and blue green eyes, like half the group, her Digimon was Floramon, who was absolutely obsessed with Ryou and practically rooted herself to his neck whenever she could get a chance.
"Who died and made you leader gogglehead?" A young girl asked, this was Rika; she's a spitfire sixteen year old with long black hair and almond eyes. Well actually her real name was Grace, but she just liked being called Rika because she acted just like the former ice queen, and like the former ice queen, her partner was Renamon. And like their tamers, Renamon and Tachomon found love.
"Common, let's go, I want to see Fluffy!" A young girl said. This was Siaarn, a hyper fourteen year old, she had light-brown hair and brown eyes, and her Digimon was Guilmon, who she adoringly nicknamed Fluffy.
"Let's hurry up and get this over with, I have a busy agenda" Complained a tall boy dressed in an army uniform, causing the rest to sweatdrop. This was Robert Bastadis, an eighteen-year-old army brat who cared more about pleasing himself than he did helping the team. He had one major problem though, he tried to push his homosexuality on everyone around him, even after they kindly told him they weren't interested. (Authors Note: I have absolutely no problem with homosexuals or anybody of that nature, I'm not sexually bias, but it is important that I got that down on paper for Robert's character, as it will play a major role later on.) He had dark hair and brown eyes and wore an army cap to complete the outfit, his Digimon was Impmon.
"Ok good, I guess since everybody is here, we should get started" Vic said smiling.
"I can't believe I'm finally going to get to see Guile" Jake responded with a big grin.
"I wonder if anyone there'll like me," Robert complained.
"They will, don't worry" Jake replied sweatdropping.
"I hope so" Robert said, looking downcast.
"Common everyone, let's all be happy, we're going off on a big adventure to see our new family" Addie responded with a big smile on her face.
"Yeah" Jake shouted out happily.
"Here here" Grace said laughing.
"Woo-ho!" Kris yelled rolling off the small bench he was on.
"Well, this should be the portal" Vic said walking over to a brick wall, "Let's do this, everyone get around me"
Everyone moved to positions around Vic, and held their D-arc's into the middle of the semi-circle.
"Digimon" Jake mumbled, "Here we come"
"DIGIPORT OPEN!" Everyone shouted. And they were off, next stop, the Digital World.
Unknown Digital Location
"Uh, guys?" Jake asked, "Why are we floating?"
"Don't you remember from the series?" Vic responded, "They went through here, and then……"
"Oh…..right" Jake gulped, "I had tried to block that out of my memory"
"Down we go" Rika mumbled.
"Why does the Digital World have to give its defenders such rude welcomes" Jake replied face faulting.
"Let's just get this over with" Addie suggested.
"Y-yeah" Jake mumbled and let himself drop. The others followed suit, landing not long after, in a giant heap, in the middle of a forest clearing. "That…….hurt" Kris muttered.
"No kidding" Vic responded, "Could you do me a favor Kris?"
"Sure, what?" Kris asked.
"Kindly remove your knee from my face" Vic replied with controlled emotion.
"Oh, sorry" Kris said with a nervous smile, shifting his weight.
"Thank you" Vic said, exaggerating his words just a bit and rolling out of the pile, as everyone else got to their feet.
"You think we'll run into the others somewhere along here?" Jake asked, "I want to finally meet the others"
"Probably" Addie replied, "We should look for them"
"Better if we find our partner's first" Vic added, "Then we go looking for them"
"Good point" Jake replied nodding, "Our partners probably know where everyone else is"
"So where to look for our partners?" Robert asked with an I-don't-have-the-time-for-a-search look on his face.
"Weren't you listening?" Jake demanded, "We were told that they'd come find us because they'd be waiting near the portal"
"Oh, sorry" Robert mumbled, "I wasn't paying attention, I was getting important information, completely classified, you know the drill"
"Ugh, whatever" Jake muttered.
"Hey everyone" Addie called out as she jumped to her feet, "I think I hear something rustling nearby" It was about this point, that we noticed that there were multiple pairs of eyes staring at us through the shrubbery.
"Uh, hello?" Robert asked, "Anyone out there?" The others just shook their heads exasperatedly.
"Common out everyone, it's ok" Addie said kindly, "We won't hurt any of you"
"We know" A tiger Digimon jumped from the bushes and did a combination of tackling and glomping Addie.
"MITTENMON" Addie cried out happily while more Digimon jumped out of the bushes to meet with their tamers.
"VIC" Tachomon cried out jumping on him.
"TACHOMON" Vic laughed, "What's up man?"
"Not much" Tachomon grinning, "You guys were, until gravity kicked in"
"Tacho…" Vic said laughing and shaking his head.
"JAKEEEEEEEEEEE" Guile cried out also tackle-glomping him.
"GUILE, HII" Jake replied glomping back, "How are you and Mittenmon?"
"Great" Guile replied looking over at Mittenmon and blushing.
"Don't be embarrassed little brother" Jake said, "We all know you like her" Guile just kept blushing.
"Rika" Renamon hopped out of the bushes.
"Hey Renamon, good to see you" Rika said in a controlled voice.
"Common, lighten up guys" Vic said laughing, show some emotion, speaking of which, Tachomon, how are you and Renamon doing?"
"We're good" Tachomon replied, trying hard not to blush.
"Ok, that's good" Vic said with a smile.
"SIAARN" Another Guilmon popped out from the bushes.
"FLUFFA" Siaarn said happily, "How are you?"
"Good, now that you're here" Fluffy laughed.
"Grace?" A flower Digimon asked hopping out of the undergrowth.
"Right here" Grace replied.
"YAY, GRACE" The Floramon cried out, "Grace Grace, Grace, Grace"
"Hyper as ever, eh Floramon?" Grace laughed.
"YEP" Floramon said with a big grin, "Now where's Ryou?"
"Still has a one-track mind too, from the looks of things" Jake said laughing, Floramon nodded.
"Robert….hi" Impmon said walking out of the bushes.
"IMPMON" Robert cried out kissing his Digimon.
"Uh, Robert, kissing is going just a little far" Jake said sweatdropping, "Just hug him. Everyone nodded.
"You aren't the boss of me" Robert said defiantly.
"Ugh" Jake shook his head, "I won't let even a negative attitude spoil my first few hours with my Digimon, so I'll pretend I didn't hear that"
"KRIS" BlackGatomon sprung out from the shadows.
"BLACKGATOMON" Kris cried out happily, hugging his partner.
"Chris?" Magknightmon (Mag) asked hopping out of the bushes.
"HI Mag" Chris smiled, "How are you?"
"Good" Mag replied.
"Wow, how did you guys find your way here?" Jake asked looking around, "This place is huge" The forest was covered in green vines snaking between some trees, and around roots. The canopy overhead was a lush green with just enough sunlight to give it that "garden-forest" look that you'd expect to find at an amusement park, and finding it in true nature was rare. The trees seemed to be of a hardwood or redwood fashion, which was pretty cool, considering that almost nobody knew much about the kinds of trees and things that grew in the digital world.
"We just know our way around" Guile replied smiling.
"And a good sense of smell helps too" Mittenmon replied with a grin.
"Are you saying we stink?" Jake grinned, deliberately sounding indignant.
"No no, not at all" Mittenmon laughed, "We just meant we caught your scent"
"We know" Jake said laughing, "I just like giving you a hard time" Everyone laughed, even Mittenmon.
"Well, let's go guys" Vic said still grinning, "I want to get to the camp by nightfall"
"Yeah" Jake said nodding, "Probably not smart to stay out here after nightfall, right Guile?"
"Right" Guile chimed in.
"Then let's get going" Vic said picking up the supplies and handing them to everyone evenly.
"I'm not going to carry anything" Robert mumbled, "Guilmon can take my portion"
"He already has a portion Robert" Jake said shooting Robert a nasty look, "Carry it yourself"
"Oh, I don't mind carrying a bit extra Jake" Guile said smiling.
"Ok, good" Robert said tossing his stuff at Guilmon.
"Oomph" Guilmon whimpered as he fell over.
"Guile?" Jake asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
"I'm ok" Guile groaned trying to get to his feet, "The weight just surprised me, that's all"
"Here, let me help you" Jake said grabbing his arm and pulling Guile to his feet.
"Thanks" Guile said brushing himself off.
"No problem" Jake smiled at Guile, then shot Robert another dirty look.
"Wow" Vic mumbled, "If looks could kill…"
"He'd be dead?" Tachomon asked, overhearing Vic.
"He'd be dead a thousand times over" Vic answered.
"Ah" Tachomon nodded.
"Let's get going then" Robert said in a perky voice, and started to walk towards what he thought to be the way out of the forest.
"Uh, Robert" Impmon replied, "Are you sure a Digimon shouldn't help you find your way around, until you get used to the place?"
"I know what I'm doing, I'll find the exit by myself" Robert said confidently.
"Vic's the leader, let him go first" Jake muttered.
"Yeah, maybe I should" Vic replied taking the lead, having Tachomon help lead them all back the opposite way that Robert had been leading everyone and toward the exit of the forest that they were all looking for. They actually got lucky, making it quite a ways through the forest, in spite of Robert's near constant bickering about having to walk at all. Yet, being the digital world, a fight was inevitable. "Hey guys" Jake said looking up, "I hear something" Yeah, that turned out to be redundant.
"GRAAARRRRRRR" A giant Insectoid-Digimon appeared.
"Well, here we go" Jake muttered holding up his D-arc.
"Kuwagamon, Insectoid Digimon" A female voice said over the D-arc.
"Well DUH" Jake mumbled, "Guys, this one's obviously an Insectoid, let me and Guile take care of it"
"Uh, okay" Vic said staring, "Here, we'll hold onto the stuff on his back so he can fight"
"Okay" Guile said squirming out of the supplies and tossing them to Vic, and then getting into battle position.
"Ok little brother" Jake said, "Let's take this freak down"
"YEAH!!!!!" Guile cried out happily.
"CARD SLASH, DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE" Jake shouted out swiping a card.
"GUILMON DIGIVOLVE TO……..GROWLMON!!!!" Guilmon shouted.
"Grrah" Kuwagamon roared, " You can't take me in the skies!"
"The heck we can't" Jake called out pulling out another card and slashing it, "CARD SLASH, AERO WING ACTIVATE"
"Finally, I get to FLY" Growlmon cheered happily as Jake jumped on his back, then took into the air.
"Looks like I've evened the playing field a little" Jake muttered, "Growlmon, take him down"
"PYRO BLASTER" Growlmon yelled out firing off a giant red blast of fire, roasting Kuwagamon.
"Sweet" Jake cried out, "That rocked Guile!!"
"Thanks" Growlmon responded, absorbing the data as Jake jumped off, allowing him time to get to the ground before he de-digivolved.
"Good job guys" Vic said with a smile, leaving the Guile's stuff a bit away, near Tachomon, long enough to congratulate Jake and Guile.
"Yeah, yeah good job" Robert replied tossing Guile the equipment he had been carrying before, "Now get back to carrying yours and my stuff"
"Whoa" Guile cried out as he fell backwards, then whimpered, "Oww, that hurt"
"Guile.." Jake replied unhappily.
"Weakling….." Robert said with a sneer, "In the army we could have handled that easily"
"Robert!" Jake said loosing his cool a bit, "First off, this isn't the army, second off, Guile was just in a fight that was tough on him, third, I don't believe that ANYONE could maintain balance when almost eighty pounds of food and equipment were just thrown at them from the front"
"Well, we could in the army" Robert said hotly.
"Whatever" Jake said rolling his eyes, then turned to help Guile up with a smile, "Here, let me give you a hand"
"Thanks" Guile replied, getting to his feet, still a slight bit dazed from having such a large amount of stuff thrown at his face with such little reaction time before it knocked him over.
"Despite what Robert thinks" Jake said, "I personally think you did good"
"Here here" The others (excluding Robert, obviously) added in with smiles.
"Thanks guys" Guile said with a smile, "You cheered me up"
"We try" Said Vic grinning.
"Can we go yet?" Robert asked, rolling his eyes.
"Yes, we can go now" Vic said getting back in front and with Tachomon, continuing to lead everyone out of the forest.
It took a few hours, but finally the dense trees gave way to a bit of shrubbery and a few trees dotted here and there, and a river that was running alongside the forest that hadn't been visible through the dense growth of trees. "Wow, this place is really beautiful" Jake mumbled in awe.
"Yeah" Guile nodded happily, "I absolutely love this part of the Digital World, it reminds me of my surroundings when I'd first hatched from my Digiegg"
"Possibly because you pretty much were IN this area when you hatched" Tachomon said with a laugh.
"True, true" Guile said smiling.
"It's just a couple of trees and a stupid stream" Robert said bluntly, "You don't have to get weird about it"
"Robert…..ugh" Vic muttered shaking his head, "If you can't see the bright things in life, how in the world can you survive the dark?"
"I turn on a flashlight" Robert said stupidly.
"Not quite what I meant" Vic sighed.
"Don't let him ruin your good mood Vic" Tachomon murmured.
"I just don't want him to upset anyone" Vic replied, "Guile seems to like this place, I don't want anything on this trip ruined for anyone"
"He doesn't bother me" Guile replied as he and Jake fell into stride alongside Vic and Tachomon.
"As long as he doesn't bother you Guile, then I'm happy" Jake replied.
"Same here" Vic replied. Guile just smiled at all his surroundings and tried to whistle a tune.
"Is the camp nearby?" Robert complained, walking at a slow pace behind everyone, "I'm getting really tired of walking"
"It's just up ahead" Tachomon replied from the front of the group, pointing at a spot not that far off in the distance, "We just have to go up a bit further, and then across that extendable bridge"
"Yeah, it's really cool" Guile replied eyes closed for the moment (n.n like), smiling happily, "The river is so long that we can't be attacked by evil Digimon on foot without knowing that they're coming"
"In the army, we can too" Robert replied snottily, "It's called radar tracking"
"Wouldn't they just be able to like, attack from the other side?" Jake asked curiously, ignoring Robert's comment.
"That's the beauty of it" Tachomon explained with a laugh, the river is wide enough to support a mini-island, I guess you could call it a small bay instead of a large river, we're surrounded on all sides by water, but completely protected"
"Yeah, we even have a good sized hot-spring right near our camp that we can go swimming in" Guile added in grinning, "and it connects with a small stream that runs clear water so that we can all take bathes in clean, non-salty water"
"That is so cool" Vic replied smiling, Jake nodded.
"So?" Robert asked hotly, "The army has way cooler things than that"
"Let's go, it's still not that late" Jake said excitedly, "I want to check out the whole camp"
"YAY" Guile cheered, "Jake's so cool"
"Why don't we all hurry there" Vic laughed, and started to hurry towards their destination.
"YEAH!!!!!" Everyone shouted, and followed Vic and Tachomon as they ran towards the bridge, Robert lagging behind, walking"
It took a bit to get there, but when they finally made it there, it was just as Tachomon and Guile had described it, a mini-chunk of paradise.
"This place is FANTASTIC" Jake wooped happily.
"That it is" Renamon said with a slight smile, looking over at Rika, "What do you think Rika?"
"It's nice" Rika answered, also smiling slightly.
"Uh, guys?" Impmon said as he walked up.
"Yeah?" Everyone turned to look at him.
"I don't know how to say this, but" Impmon began.
"Ugh, not again" Jake, Addie, Grace and Kris all said in unison. Robert was missing, he hadn't made it yet, and the extension bridge had been drawn back to our side for the rest of the day in honor of the new Tamers' arrival, so nobody could come and try to interrupt our planned night of partying.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: Well, there's chapter two, and that's just to give you an idea of the problems that Robert causes.
Guilmon: They don't need your ad-libbing Jake, I think they figured that out on their own XD.
Me: Good point, but he always seems to ruin the party XD
Guilmon: Him or an evil Digimon bent on killing us off and ruling the Digital World.
Me: True, true. Well everyone, I'm going to get started on making chapter three shortly, so please read and review and tell me what you think, like always I'm open to suggestions .
