A twelve year old Donatello was happily surfing the web on his laptop, his brother's looking at the interesting sites he went to.
"…Is that an e-mail?" Leo asked, looking at a strange symbol in the bottom left-hand corner.
"Yeah…wonder what it is…"
Don clicked on it, but the screen only went black. Everyone looked at it questioningly, when a bright white light escaped it, pulling them in.
They were gone, and bright violet eyes looked at the scene in understanding.
'So it's begun…'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An eleven year old female turtle with a pink bandana was on her laptop, her back to her two sisters.
The one with the light green bandana smiled, asking, "What are you doing, Elisa?"
"Just surfing the web, Gio." She answered softly.
"Well, can we see?" The grey-banded turtle asked from her position on the couch.
"Sure, Rach…"
They surrounded their sister, looking at her laptop, and Rach wondered why Elisa wore another laptop in a bag over her shoulders.
"Isn't that an e-mail?" Gio asked, looking at the screen.
"Yeah, I think so…"
Elisa clicked on it, and the screen went black.
Rach quirked an eyebrow, wondering what was wrong. Then, a bright light flashed from it, dragging them in.
An old rat watched with understanding, wise eyes.
'So it has finally begun…'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"…OW…"
The blue-banded turtle sat up, rubbing his head, when he noticed a little pink head with brown eyes before him.
"…Whoa…"
"Hi, Leo! I'm Koromon!"
"…Wait, how'd you know my name?"
"I'm your friend!" Koromon answered, jumping onto the turtle's lap.
He heard someone scream, but it sounded high-pitched and clearly female.
He followed the noise, seeing a female turtle roughly his age, but with a light green bandana and a strange little plant-like creature on her lap.
"H-Hello…"
She looked up, and smiled uncomfortably.
"Hey…um…"
"The name's Leonardo…just call me Leo…"
"Giovanna…just call me Gio…"
"GIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Both heads snapped up, and said turtle smacked her forehead.
"OVER HERE, RACH!!!!!" She called back, standing up.
She smiled reassuringly at Leo, saying, "My little sister. Who's that, anyway?"
She looked at the pink head beside him.
"Koromon…and who's that?"
"Tanemon."
"GIO!!!"
A grey-banded female turtle came into view, a strange grey creature flying behind her.
"What's-?"
"Don't ask, Gio."
"But-."
"Do-Not-Ask."
"Introductions?"
"Yes."
Gio sighed, rubbing her temples before turning to Leo.
"This is my sister Rachel, we call her Rach. And this little guy is…"
She waited for her sister, who HATED introductions, to fill in the blank.
"…Bukamon…"
"Yeah…anyway…Rach, this is Leonardo and Koromon, and this little girl is Tanemon."
"…Okay…boy turtle? When did this happen?"
"…I don't know…"
Gio shrugged, when a scream reached their ears, but it had a pitch of joy that confused them all.
"That's not El…" Rach stated.
"You got siblings?"
"Three brothers…"
He went to the source of the scream, and the two girls followed him.
To see the orange-banded turtle hugging a little white, four-legged creature, smiling like a loon, made Leo relax.
"Mikey?"
Mikey looked up, smiling.
"Leo! Look! His name's Tokomon!"
"Yeah, Mikey…"
"Who's that?" The hyper turtle asked, looking at Koromon, and then the girls and their own creatures.
Leo introduced them, and Mikey smiled at them.
"Hi!"
'Now…where are the others…?'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elisa looked around curiously, Yokomon beside her.
"Where do you think my sisters are?" She asked quietly, squatting down to Yokomon's level.
She looked around worriedly, hearing a noise, and Yokomon looked at her questioningly.
"Maybe they're this way, Elisa."
She nodded slightly, and stood up, about to move when a little pink creature made itself known. She stopped, looking at the creature curiously.
"Hello, there…"
She squatted down again, smiling softly.
"What's your name?"
Her soft voice made the creature smile.
"Motimon!"
She noticed another presence, and saw a purple-banded turtle come out slightly from behind a tree.
"Oh…H-Hi…" She stuttered, blushing.
She'd never been good at talking with strangers, and she couldn't keep her voice from shaking.
"H-Hi…" The boy greeted, smiling shyly.
"My name's Donatello…you can call me Donnie…"
"E-Elisabetta…Elisa…"
She nervously looked at the ground, playing with her fingers shyly, and Yokomon jumped into her surprised arms.
"Are you okay, El?"
"Y-Yeah…"
Don moved forward shyly, Motimon pulling him by his hand.
"Um…so…you got sucked in here, too?" He asked, trying to ease the atmosphere.
"Yeah…with my sisters…"
"There's more?" He asked, wide-eyed.
"Yeah…I have two sisters…don't you have siblings?" She asked softly, giving him an innocent, questioning look.
"Yeah…I've got three brothers and a sister…"
He seemed thoughtful a moment.
"I don't think she came, though…"
Elisa moved closer tentatively.
"What about your brothers?"
He looked up.
"Actually…"
"DON!! Where'd ya go?"
Elisa jumped, hugging Yokomon tighter, as a red-banded turtle came through the undergrowth, a little head with a horn in its forehead tucked under his arm.
"Who's she?" He asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"Her name's Elisa, Raph."
She smiled shyly.
"Hello…"
"Hey. My name's Raph, and this guy here is Tsunomon."
"Hers is Yokomon…"
Yokomon smiled.
"Shouldn't we go find your sisters, El?"
"EL!?! EL, WHERE ARE YA!?!"
Elisa looked around in surprise.
"Rach? Rach?!"
Her older sister came out of the bushes, Bukamon following her, and smiled in relief.
"El!!"
The eldest female turtle came out as well, Tanemon following her, and hugged her youngest sister in relief.
"Gio!"
The male turtles came after them, and the reunion was short, as were introductions.
"What ARE you guys, anyway?" Don asked the creatures, looking curious.
The creatures grinned, grouping up on the ground, and chorused in unison, "We're Digimon! Digital Monsters!"
Silence…
"Whoa…that's cool…"
Mikey stated with a smile as the others thought it over.
Gio smiled, saying, "Now that we're all together, what are we gonna do now?"
Rach shrugged, and heard something in the trees. She went to check it out, Bukamon following her, when Gio grabbed her arm.
"Rach, don't…"
A huge bug with sharp jaws burst forward, breaking down the trees, and both girls flew back.
Elisa jumped, and grabbed hold of her sisters, pulling them away before the Digimon's jaws crashed into the ground where they once were.
"Oh no! It's Kuwagamon!" Motimon said fearfully, pulling on Don's hand.
"We've gotta run!"
Nobody disagreed, and everyone started running as Kuwagamon ripped his jaws from the ground. Mikey ducked, falling to the ground, and Rach stopped.
Tokomon shot pink bubbles at the larger Digimon, but Kuwagamon only reared, about to strike, and Rach grabbed Mikey and Tokomon before he tried to strike.
"Move!" She ordered, putting Tokomon in his arms before pushing him and grabbing Bukamon, her legs on autopilot.
They seemed to have outran the large bug Digimon, but they ended up on a cliff, a river far below.
"It's too steep to go down." Leo stated, frowning.
Elisa cried out as Kuwagamon burst through the trees, smacking her and Yokomon back with his large jaws.
"ELISA!!"
Don moved to her side as the others grabbed their Digimon, backing up to the edge of the cliff.
"What now?"
"We fight!"
Leo looked down at Koromon in surprise.
"That's all we can do! Stand and fight!"
"No." Leo said sternly, holding the struggling Digimon to his plastron.
"Let me go and fight!"
"Yer crazy if ya think I'm lettin' ya go and fight that thing!" Raph argued with a struggling Tsunomon.
"But, Tokomon…"
"If they fight, I'm fighting!" Tokomon argued, struggling.
"Motimon, think first!"
"But they need me!"
"Tanemon, you're not fighting!"
"PLEASE! I need to do this!"
"Bukamon, ya crazy fool! I'm not letting go!"
"Let go-Let go-Let go!"
"…Yokomon…do you really want to…?"
Yokomon nodded up at the pink-eyed turtle.
"…Be careful, okay?"
Yokomon nodded, and jumped to the ground as the others broke free from the turtle's holds.
"KOROMON!!"
"TSUNOMON!!"
"TOKOMON!!"
"MOTIMON!!"
"BUKAMON!"
"TANEMON!!"
"Yokomon…"
Elisa gripped her hands together, almost as if in prayer.
"BE CAREFUL!!"
Seven beams of rainbow colored light came down from the sky, hitting each Digimon.
There was a bright light, and…
"Koromon, Digivolve to…AGUMON!!"
"Tsunomon, Digivolve to…GABUMON!!"
"Tokomon, Digivolve to…PATAMON!!"
"Motimon, Digivolve to…TENTOMON!!"
"Bukamon, Digivolve to…GOMAMON!!"
"Tanemon, Digivolve to…PALMON!!"
"Yokomon, Digivolve to…BIYOMON!!"
They looked at the Digimon in amazement, brains trying to figure out what happened when the seven charged.
"Pepper Breath!"
Agumon shot a ball of fire at the bug, making it rear its head in pain.
"Blue Blaster!"
Gabumon shot a beam of blue fire, hitting Kuwagamon again.
"Spiral Twister!"
"Super Shocker!"
"Poison Ivy!"
"Boom Bubble!"
Kuwagamon fell back into the trees, and the Digimon turned to the group of turtles, who looked at them with wide eyes and surprised expressions. The Digimon ran over, jumping into their surprised arms.
Leo was knocked over by a smiling Agumon, and hugged him back.
Raph was lucky enough to catch his balance before Gabumon knocked him over, and smirked, hugging him back.
Mikey kneeled down, hugging Patamon when he flew to him.
Rach lifted up Gomamon, looking at him curiously before hugging him.
Gio squatted down, hugging Palmon as she ran into her arms, and fell on her behind, giggling.
Don looked curiously at Tentomon, inspecting his wing casings and hands, making mental notes, when Tentomon knocked him over playfully, making him laugh.
Elisa smiled, hugging Biyomon when she landed in her arms.
The celebration was cut short when Kuwagamon burst through the trees, stabbing his jaws into the cliff. The edge broke off, and they started falling to the river below.
Biyomon grabbed Elisa by the strap for her laptop bag, and flapped her wings hard as Patamon grabbed Mikey by the back of his belt, his wings flapping as hard as he could.
Both of them couldn't hold up, and they soon fell with their partners.
Rach still held onto Gomamon, looking at the steadily approaching river a bit fearfully.
"Gomamon, do something!"
"Okay! Marching Fishes!"
A raft of fishes appeared below the group, and they landed safely.
"Well, THAT was lucky…" Mikey noted, Patamon on his shell at the moment.
Leo looked back.
"Wait to relax later, Mikey! HOLD ON!!"
Everyone looked back, and saw the rock they were on crash into the water, making rough waves. Everyone tightened their grip, and closed their eyes as the fish struggled to stay a steady raft.
Elisa nearly lost her hold altogether after a specific wave, but Don caught hold of her hand, and held her around the waist, even when she found a new hold.
Gio held on with only one hand, holding Palmon close with the other, and looked at the cliffs around them.
"Palmon, swing us to that shore!"
Palmon nodded, looking at the wall next to the shore.
"Poison Ivy!"
The vines clung to the stone, and swung them in an arc. They all jumped onto the land, and fell over in exhaustion.
"Whoa…now THAT was lucky…" Mikey stated, and Patamon giggled on his chest, ears drooped as he tried to catch his breath.
"What did you guys DO, anyway?" Leo asked, sitting up to look at Agumon curiously.
"We Digivolved." He answered simply.
"…Digivolved?" Raph questioned, acting as if Don had just said something complicated, and Tentomon flew up slightly.
"Digivolving is a very difficult process. In order to do so, we need to share your energy."
Don looked thoughtful.
"How exactly do you tap into our energy?"
"Even we don't know everything."
Elisa looked around.
'Now what do we do?'
