Enter the Digi-Destined!

I thought I'd put in two chapters, the first being a bit on the misleading side; and yes for your information they do start on File Island...but trust me this time the enemy is...craftier than Devimon or should I say...he takes the fight to the Digi-destined a bit...more interestingly. Don't forget Read and Review.

The sun shone softly in the afternoon. Eight children were at the edge of a school yard. It was three thirty in the afternoon. The children were gathering to get a soccer game started.

"Brendan, put that laptop down, and get over here!" yelled a blonde haired boy. He wore a red shirt and blue jeans.

"Just a second, I have to save this file," said a boy in green corduroy pants and blue shirt with an orange jacket. "I'll be right with you guys, Stephen."

"Well, then I'll pick first," said a brown haired boy with lavender eyes. He wore a baseball cap and a blue shirt. "I choose Janet."

A girl stood up with short brown hair and a yellow shirt and black jeans. She walked behind the boy.

"Fine, I choose, Jason!" said Stephen. A boy with deep blue eyes and a t-shirt with a band's name on it stood up. Stephen turned to the boy in lavender eyed boy. "Ok back to you, Kevin."

"I choose," He looked at the boy with the laptop, "I choose Brendan."

"Huh?" Brendan looked up. "Ok."

"I choose," started the blonde haired boy, "Mark." A small boy with glasses stood up. He crouched down and placed his glasses into the bag and took out some sport goggles.

"What about us?" asked a smaller girl and another girl in a skirt.

"Just a second!" said Kevin. "Ummm, I choose Amy."

A girl with in a min skirt stood up. Her hair was black. She held the ball in her hands.

"Ok, I choose your sister,Michelle, Kevin," said Stephen with a smile. The girl stood up. She had a book bag and wore a vest jacket and a white shirt with brown shorts. Her eyes were golden and her hair was a light golden brown. "So it's about even I took your sister and you took my brother."

"And it's starting to snow," said Brendan, he held out his hand.

"No way," said the others and looked up, "It's August, it can't snow..."

"Not a cloud in the sky," said Kevin. He looked up. His eyes grew large as he watched the bursts of light screaming downwards towards them. He shouted loudly, "Look up in the sky!"

"Run!" shouted Stephen and grabbed his brother and ran as the eight bursts of light rammed into the ground.

A weight on his chest brought Kevin out of his sleep, or black out, he wasn't sure yet what to make of it. A pink ball was looking straight into his eyes. Kevin's eyes opened wide and his mouth opened.

"Don't scream," said the little ball and it flicked two, little, pink ribbons on the top its head forward to cover Kevin's mouth, "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm Koromon and I've been waiting for you for a while now. We didn't know if you were going to come or not to tell the truth."

"Mffee?" asked a muffled Kevin.

"What?" whispered Koromon. Kevin's eyes moved down to the little ribbons. "Oh," giggled the pink ball, "sorry, forgot that they were there. Now what did you say?"

"We?" asked Kevin. "Are there more of you hiding about and where are my friends...for that matter where are we?"

"Umm, yes but there aren't any more Koromon about," said the pink ball with a smile, "But they're with your friends, over there," the Koromon's ribbons flicked over to a small collection of trees. Come on I'll show you."

Koromon hopped off of Kevin's chest and onto the ground. He started to bounce towards the trees and then turned around and looked at Kevin. Kevin nodded slightly and taking on a hunch to trust this thing, he followed the ball of pink into the wooded area.

His friends were all there and awake. Stephen was with this lizard worm creature that was a warm orange color. Jason was with a creature that looked like a pink Pac Man ghost with arms. Amy was with an orange ball of fur with a front curving horn on its forehead. Janet was with a small, four legged, furry, orange creature with a fox tail. Mark, Stephen's brother, was with a strange creature that looked like a mixture of a marshmallow, a Valentine's Day cupid and a ying-yang circle. It was plush but had little wings on its back and was half black and half white. His sister was with a little poof of fur with legs. It had a fuzz ball on its round chocolate body. Brendan was with a little fire ball. He had his laptop out and was inspecting a little white device in his hand; in fact now that he looked at his friends they all had those little white devices. He put his hands in his pockets and pulled out a similar device.

"I see sleepy bum is awake," said Jason with a smile. "So, what have you gotten out of yours?"

"My what?" Kevin looked dumbfoundedly at wanna be rocker boy.

"Your Digimon," said Brendan quietly as he looked up from his laptop. "We each have one; they all say they have been waiting for us for a while."

"Where are we?" asked Kevin. It was the first sensible question that came to mind.

"Demi Meramon says we're in the Digital World," said Brendan as he looked up at the fire ball. "It's some sort of physical embodiment of the entire world's computer use. Which would explain why I can net service here...."

"Demi who...what is going on!?" growled Kevin and slumped backwards against a tree.

"Demi Meramon," said Koromon, "He is Brendan's Digimon. And Viximon is Janet's Digimon. Motimon belongs with Jason; Kyokyomon goes with Stephen, Tsunomon is Amy's."

"And Cupimon goes with me!" said Mark with a smile.

"And Shaomon is just so cute," said Kevin's sister.

"And Koromon is definitely yours," said Janet with a smile. "The little guy sat out there ever since we got here waiting for you to wake up."

"And he looks so good with you," Amy said with a wider smile, "You're so cute together."

"I really don't think this is the time to be gushing over cuteness," said Jason, "Our parents are going to be looking for us."

"Yes, and we all have to find away out of here," said Stephen. He turned to Kyokyomon. "Now, how did we get here?"

"I have no idea," said the lizard. "All I know is that we had this feeling that you were going to be here."

Stephen sighed softly. This was going to be very difficult. Already the sun was starting to set. The trees were casting long dark shadows.

"We really need to be thinking survival," said Jason. "I mean I doubt there are any cities near by."

"Jason's right," said Janet she walked to the edge of the tree line, "and we don't know what kind of things are going to come out at night."

"Don't worry about that," said Viximon. The little creature hopped next to Janet, "We'll protect you."

"Yeah, you'll cute them to death," smiled Kevin. He looked up to the sky. "Well I suppose someone has to start gathering fire wood. We should set up shifts for watch, what else am I forgetting?"

"Eating would be nice," Jason said and rubbed his tummy.

"Tsunomon said there was a stream near by," said Amy. She looked up, "and there could be berry bushes near by and such."

"We'll need stuff like covers..." said Michelle quietly and looked up. "wait a minute.. I have some towels from gym class..."

"Ewwww," whimpered Amy at the mere idea.

"No, we're selling towels for some new equipment," giggled Michelle and took out a towel that had a little picture of a dodge ball on it. "I have enough we could use these for blankets...and then for towels...."

"I am guessing none of us have a change of clothes," said Jason. The others shook their heads. "Then we'll have to choose days."

"Choose days?" asked Mark innocently. "For what?"

"To wash our clothes," said Jason.

Mark furrowed his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"Well, if everyone does their clothes at the same time," explained Jason, "Well, we'll be naked in front of each other."

The older kids blushed a deep red at the idea of walking in on a clothes washing party. The two younger children furrowed their brows and then gasped and made an 'ew' face. Jason grinned at the others' less than comfortable reaction to the news.

"I think we have bigger problems than nakedness," said Janet. She was still standing by the edge of the trees. The others looked up.

"What the heck...is that thing," said Jason as he walked up next to Janet.

A giant flying thing was flying straight towards their location. It looked a bit like a mantis. Two giant curved limbs were folded up into a more aerodynamic position.

"It's Snimon!" yelped Motimon. "He's a mantis Digimon. His Twin Sickles can slice through trees. He's also a Champion level Digimon.."

"Champion level?" Brendan looked up. "What's that mean?"

"Digimon can be put into levels," explained DemiMeramon quickly, "We're In Training...and then it's Rookie and then it's Champion..."

"In other words..." Brendan looked at the little fire ball.

"We run!" shouted Viximon, "everyone, further into the forest!"

The kids got up and those that had bags grabbed them and ran. The Digimon followed closely behind them. They heard the helicopter like sound of the quickly beating insect wings.

"I know I heard something," said the slightly buzzy, slightly growly voice of Snimon as he passed over head. "I'll find them; I'll make my master proud."

The children nestled down into a little dip in the earth under one of the larger tree's root system. Snimon's wings buzzed over head. Periodically the leaves would kick up as the large mantis flew over head. The children looked at each other and the up at the canopy of the tree they were hiding under.

"Shadow Sickle!" Two blades flashed and a couple of trees adjacent to the one they were hiding in slid clean off their trunks. Amy almost shrieked but fortunately Tsunomon nudged her before she could scream. The large insect landed close by. It stomped about looking at the damage it had done. "Come out, I won't hurt you."

The kids sat as motionless as possible staring between the roots of the tree. The mantis turned its head quickly and their eyes met. Its mandible made a close approximation of a grin and it raised its scythe like arms.

"Oh God..." whimpered Janet. She closed her eyes tight.
