Author: Here's the second part of the first chapter. I edited the first chapter because the amazing Hielorei made some awesome designs for altered outfits for the team, he also drew an adorable picture of Wally and Viximon based on the first chapter.
Describing digimon is hard and I'm not sure if I did a good job so if it's unclear how a digimon looks just type in the name at Google and you'll find dozens of pictures. For the next chapter I've decided to be more vague so not everything description and all.

Ch2. Going Digital, part 2.
"This is fun!" A high-pitched voice squeaked. "So you do things like this all the time, Dick?"
Smirking Dick glanced down at the small creature sitting next to him on the thick tree branch high up in one of this 'Digital World's' strange blue trees. Fifteen minutes ago he had woken up in this strange forest with the little monster next to him, a little monster who knew his real name and... Well at least he made an allay. "Yeah, pretty much Pinamon. Nothing like being up high, huh?"
"Uh huh." Pinamon nodded his small head- in other words, he shook his whole body, seeing that's what he was. A small, brown feathered ball with a pointy end where the feathers turned darker brown. He had a white feathered face, dark feathers that served as eyebrows over his large brown eyes and a small white beak.
Pinamon had small useless brown wings and pointy black talons. He had two small red feathers at the end of his tail and the little chick digimon had already made it clear that he did not like having his tail touched.
"Remember what I said about using my name once, we find my team." Dick told the chick like digimon.
"I have to call you Robin when your friends are around." Pinamon replied sounding very proud about remembering the rule his partner had insisted on.
Dick couldn't help but smile at his partner's tone. Something about the little guy was just... Whelmingly asterous.
It had been surprisingly easy to explain the concept of secret identity to Pinamon, but then again, the little digimon already seemed to have a vague idea of what Dick's life was like.
The acrobat was sure that that fact alone would freak Bruce out.
Dick was glad that Pinamon understood the importance of his team not knowing his secret identity. Not only because he wanted to keep it a secret himself, but for now it was easier for him to be Robin, because this wasn't a Dick Grayson situation.
Dick Grayson didn't get sucked into portals or end up in strange unknown worlds where your clothes got altered, Dick Grayson didn't befriend little adorable monsters.
They stayed quiet for a few minutes while Dick scanned the horizon and Pinamon admired the view. "See anything unusual yet?"
Dick snorted. "I'm still looking for something normal." From his place high in the tree Dick could see the ocean... Just no harbor. He spotted lots of different mountains on the island he found himself on, and some on surrounding islands too, but none of them were Mount Justice.
Heck nothing around him looked even the slightest bit familiar.
Shaking his head Dick reached into the red bag attached to his thigh like some sort of holster. Sadly his altered clothes did not come with a free utility belt, though Dick had discovered that the gloves he wore now had the same hidden lock picking devices as the ones he wore as Robin and he found his palmtop in the bag aswell.
And to be honest Dick was just relived that he still had his shades, so he didn't mind the blue and red short-sleeved hoodie nor the black pants.
He was curious about the digital device -the one Wally had taken from LexCorp- which was currently attached to his belt.
Searching through the bag Dick grinned and pulled out his binoculars and used them to look across the horizon.
"Nope still nothing familiar." Dick commented. He frowned when he saw a giant red beetle flying towards them from the distance. It was bright red, with black marking on its' face. "How far is this zoomed in..." he trailed off, suddenly very aware of the fact that he hadn't messed with the settings yet.
Lowering the binoculars his shades slipped back into place, Dick jerked upwards worried about what he'd find.
Sure enough...
A gigantic red beetle was flying straight towards them!
Dick barely had enough time to swing himself backwards of the branch, he tried to grab Pinamon as he went down, but the digimon had other plans and leaped of the branch towards the gigantic beetle coming their way.
Even as he somersaulted downwards to stabilize his landing Dick saw Pinamon leap to the beetle, when the little guy was close enough he spun around mid-air so his two small tail feathers touched the giant beetle's head and when they did tiny electric sparks came from them.
The gigantic beetle let out a monstrous screech when the low voltage of electricity hit it, but continued flying forwards, snapping trees in half as it went.
Sadly Pinamon's brown little wings were only there for show and the digimon had rough meeting with the grassy ground.
"Pinamon!" Dick cried rushing to his fallen friend and kneeling down. "Come on, lil' guy." He muttered gently lifting the little monster. Dick's shoulders slumped in relief when those large brown eyes opened. Gently he ran his finger over his partner's feathered cheeks. "What were you thinking on a monster that size?" He asked quietly.
"I... I'm trying to make a good impression."
Dick mentally paused at that. "What?"
Even with just being a little head with short legs and wings, and large eyes, Dick could somehow tell that the digimon looked embarrassed. Attacking the beetle had been a foolish move, but Dick got a feeling he knew how the little guy felt.
A small smile formed on the thirteen-year-old's lips. "You know," Dick said getting back to his feet. "For a such a little guy you sure have a lot of heart. That was really cool what you did back there. Now I know why you didn't want me touching your tail."
Beaming at compliment Pinamon peered at the sky. "We better be careful though." He said becoming serious again. "My attack isn't strong enough to keep Kuwagamon away for long."
"Kuwagamon." Dick repeated. "Is that what that was?"
Pinamon nodded. "Yeah, Kuwagamon are very powerful digimon, and will not stop attacking the enemy with its giant scissors until they collapse."
"Okay then-" Whatever Dick was gonna say next was cut off by a loud screech coming from above.
Looking up the two spotted the gigantic red, six armed beetle flying over the trees.
Dick calmly glanced back at Pinamon. "Seeing your my partner now, I'm gonna teach you one of the most useful things Batman taught me." He told his digimon.
"Tactical retreat!"
-Digital Justice-
Kaldur, Bukamon, Wally and Viximon were making their way through forest. "You know," Wally muttered, putting Viximon on his shoulder. He shot Kaldur an annoyed look. "We'd find the others much faster if you'd just let me run through the forest and-"
"No." Kaldur cut him off. "We don't know how long we'll be here. It's better to preserve our energy." Though the Atlantian enjoyed their hike through the forest even less than Wally.
He hadn't noticed it before, but his uniform had been altered. It wasn't really noticable un till you looked down. His new clothing looked exactly the same as his uniform, except for the fact that his shirt now had a black turtle neck and that he was now wearing long black pants and black slippers.
The small device he had held while going through the vortex was now attached to the side of his belt.
Kaldur hadn't made up his mind about how he felt about the slippers.
"I'm pretty fast." Viximon piped up, her soft tail swinging back and fort over Wally's neck and shoulders. "I can run through the forest and find your friends for you."
"I'm sure you can, Viximon." Wally said absently scratching the vulpine-like digimon behind her ears. "But Kaldur's kinda right. We can't waste our energy without knowing when we'll get time to rest and eat.
God, just mentioning food made his stomach grumble.
Why didn't his new outfit come with food compartments filled with energy bars? He'd already searched the pockets of his short-sleeved brown and white vest and the pockets of his bright red pants but no snacks whatsoever!
"I could go for some fruit now too!" Bukamon happily commented, blue eyes studying the trees for something edible.
Wally just groaned.
The group of four continued their hike in silence after that only stopping when they heard a loud inhuman screech.
Instantly on high alert Kaldur and Wally looked around for whatever made that monstrous sound. Their eyes landed on the moving bushes several feet ahead.
Kaldur reached for his water containers on his back only to be reminded that they were no longer on him. Whatever foe that would come attacking them from those bushes, they would have to take him down using physical strength only.
Wally and Kaldur watched the bushes, expecting maybe Lex Luthor himself or maybe a scientist gone mad like Blockbuster- basicly whoever it was that was responsible for sending them to this strange world.
What they didn't expect was for their youngest team mate to come running from the bushes.
"Robin!" Wally cheered waving. His arm dropped to his side when the boy wonder ran past them. "Wha..."
"Less talking and come on!" Dick cried as he continued to run.
confused Wally, Kaldur and their digimon looked back in the direction Robin had come from their eyes widened when they saw the gigantic red beetle towards them, snapping trees in half as it approached.
As Wally and Kaldur stared Viximon leaped from Wally's shoulders. "What are you waiting for?! Run!" She cried and started running, in no time she was in front of Robin. The others quickly followed behind her.
"She wasn't kidding." Wally said impressed by the tiny fox's speed. "She is fast."
"This way!" Viximon cried stopping in front of a large tree and then running into it.
Dick paused mid step not sure if running into a tree was such a good idea, but then Kuwagamon screeched again and Dick instantly made up his mind and ran into the tree. After watching him go through safely, Wally, Kaldur and Bukamon went into the tree too.
"Whoa..." Wally breathed looking around the metal interior inside of the tree, the tree that clearly was bigger on the inside. "What kind of tree is this?"
"It's a hiding tree, silly." Pinamon giggled from his place in Dick's arms.
"Dude!" Wally said upon seeing the digimon. "You have one too! Wh-" He was cut off by Kuwagamon's loud screeches coming from outside.
Not wanting to let the monster know where they were here they all ducked their heads so the sounds they made would go to ground and not bounce off the metal walls. They stayed like that long after Kuwagamon's screeches could no longer be heard.
Kaldur was the first to raise his head. "Should we-"
"Uh... It's okay guys... Kuwagamon is gone. You can come out now!" A familiar voice called out from outside the tree.
Easily recognizing the voice, the boys and their digimon got out of the tree. "Artemis," Kaldur nodded his greeting, his relief showing in his eyes. His grey eyes went down to the little squishy creature on the ground besides her.
It just reached up to a little bit above her ankles, had a mint-green color, round black eyes, a small not too sharp-looking horn on its forehead and small floppy ears on the side of its' head.
"Hey guys, I'm so glad Gummymon and I saw you run into that tree and..." The blond archer stopped talking when she noticed Wally staring at her. "What?" Artemis demanded her eyes narrowing on the ginger.
Robin elbowed Wally's side and he snapped his mouth shut. "Nothing!" Wally squeaked furiously shaking his head, trying to ignore Artemis' new outfit.
She was wearing the same green top she wore on patrol, but now had a black leather jacket over it. She was also wearing tight black pants, green fingerless gloves and white and green sneakers. Her digital device was attached to her new green thigh straps.
Viximon leaped up from the ground, effortlessly landing on Wally's shoulder,"What's wrong, Wally?" She asked, her soft tail swinging back and fort.
"Nothing Viximon." Wally assured, a small smirk formed on his face when he saw Artemis's mouth twitch. Even she thought Viximon looked adorable! "Artemis made a digimon too."
Still glaring at Wally, Artemis nodded. "Kaldur, Robin, this is Gummymon." She gestured to her small partner who happily bounced up and down at being addressed.
"Hi, friends of Artemis." Gummymon cheerfully greeted them.
"Greetings." Kaldur replied smiling at the new tiny monster. "My name is Kaldur, these are Robin and Wally." He introduced his two team mates having already decided that it was pointless trying to by their alter egos if their digimon already appeared to know a lot about them.
He then turned to where Bukamon was hovering and where Robin had put Pinamon to introduce them, but...
"Their multiplying!" Wally cried out staring at the new digimon standing besides Pinamon.
It looked like a purple guinea-pig the size of a small cat. It had pointy cat-like ears, a white snout, a little tain and four stubby little paws. The creature looked at the outworlders and let out a series of yaps and turned around.
"Hey Conner!" It called out, its' voice having a scratchy-ish quality. "Look I found four things that look like you!"
Sure enough none other than Conner Kent came walking out of the bushes, he immediately went over to the digimon. "What did I say about running ahead?"
Conner's clothes didn't look too different. His black shirt no longer had the Superman emblem on it, instead it head the same symbol on it as was on the digital devices Wally had brough. The red symbol went continued on the brown jacket he was wearing.
The clone also had a wide brown and gold belt which his digivice was attached to it. Conner was no longer wearing boots, but red and grey shoes that looked like they were made of metal.
"You too, huh?" Robin said watching Conner scratch the purple digimon's head.
"Yeah, I'm here too." Conner scowled at the obviously dumb statement.
Kaldur stepped in, ready to clear up any misunderstandings. "What Robin means is, that it appears that you have befriended one of these creatures aswell."
"Oh." Conner's scowl faded only just a little. "Yeah," he said looking at the purple digimon, a frown on his face. No matter how hard he tried Conner didn't understand why he liked the purple thing so soon. After all it had taken a while for him to warm up to the others and they had been the first things he saw when awaking to the world from his pod at Cadmus. "Team, this is Dorimon."
He got up. "Dorimon, these are Kaldur, Wally, Robin and Artemis."
"Nice to meet' ya!" Dorimon yipped reminding the Robin, Artemis and Wally of a puppy with the way he was waggling his tail.
Kaldur looked at their 'partners' not yet sure about how he felt about the little monsters. "And now there are five..." all of them looked at them, both curiously and cheerfully. "And you're all Digimon?"
"Yes. Digimon, digital monsters." The five little monsters chorused.
"But that's not all!" Bukamon said, speaking for all of them. "We're also-"
"Fun!" Dorimon interurpted him.
"Kinda cute." Gummymon added bouncing up and down, making Artemis smile.
Viximon fluffed up her tail while looking down at the other digimon, from her spot on Wally's shoulder. "With beautiful hair."
"And," Pinamon was thankful for his feathers which covered his blush as he looked down. "very loyal."
"And with a great sense of humour!" Bukamon finished clapping his flippers in delight.
"Pleased to meet all of you." Robin smirked at them. "I'm Robin, that's Artemis, the guy with the big mouth is Wally, that's our leader Kaldur and the guy with the scowl is Conner." He introduced his team mates. Now there was only one of them missing. All they needed to do was find-
"Megan!" Conner suddenly cried out before taking off.
"Conner!" Dorimon protested quickly chasing after his partner. "What did you say about running off?!"
A moment later the others heard the same thing Conner had. A monstrous roar followed immediately by a scream.
The decision was made unanimous and without uttering any words the team and their partners started running in the same direction Conner had run off to. Wally and Viximon leading the way, both not holding back on their speed. The two of them stopped besides Conner who was glaring at a blue tree.
"I don't get it." The clone muttered once the others reached them. "The sounds stopped at this tree."
Guessing what was going on Kaldur took a step forward. "Megan. It's alright you can come out now."
Conner stared at Kaldur dumbfounded. 'Why would he talk to a-' His thoughts came to a sudden halt when Megan walked out of the tree carrying a small grey tear drop-shaped digimon. It was yellow at the tip and had fins at its' side.
Like theirs, Megan's clothes had changed, but they stayed the most similar to what she dressed like when patrol as Miss Martian, only her skirt was frilier, and she was now wearing a blue and yellow jacket and that she had a beautiful golden necklace around her neck.
Her digital device was strapped to her thick red belt.
Megan was shaking all over and without making a sound the Martian fell to her knees.
Her digimon easily landed on its' round side. "Itsh alright M'gann." he tried to comfort his partner, nuzzling his head against her arm. "Hopmon ish here to protect you." He spoke with a lisp.
Somehow Artemis was the first of her team to attempt comforting Megan. She knelt down besides her friend and put a hand on her trembling shoulder. "Megan... Hey..." Artemis faltered for a moment wondering why the heck she was even trying this. She wasn't good at comforting!
Luckily for her Robin joined her on the ground besides Megan.
"Miss M?" Robin said tilting his head in a way so that he was sure the Martian could see him. "It's okay Megan, try to get whelmed and tell us what's wrong." Robin instructed.
He smiled when Megan looked up and met Artemis' eyes.
Still standing two feet away Conner glared at the ground and clenched his fists at his sides. He absolutely hated it when his friends were upset. It had been over a month since he came out of the pod and Conner was still no good with emotions. He was learning but... He didn't know what to do when his friends were upset and it angered him.
Conner hated seeing his friends upset and it was ten times worse when it Megan who was upset.
He didn't know why, it just was.
"Big monster." Megan gasped out. "Can't fly. Had to-" she took a deep breath. "Had to run."
"Run..." Dick repeated and Artemis saw the nearly invisible slump in his shoulders as the boy let out a small laugh. That's why she was shaking so badly. "I guess you're not used to that."
"Why can't you fly?" Kaldur asked once Megan had her breathing under control and was no longer shaking.
"It's the gravity." Megan answered letting Artemis help her to her feet. "The gravity on this planet... Or world... It's too different from Mars' gravity for me to be able to fly." She shakily brushed some hair behind her ear. "And then that digimon tried attacking us."
"We had to run for our livesh." Hopmon added in his funny way of talking.
"What monster?" Conner asked- Well more like demanded. He really couldn't help it. Something to take his anger out on sounded so good right now.
He was answered by a loud roar and the sound of bug wings moving.
"Kuwagamon!" Robin, Megan and their digimon cried out when they spotted the gigantic red beetle flying over the trees and straight towards them!
"Run!" Kaldur ordered.
They did not need to be told twice. Except for Wally they all grabbed their partners and started running.
Naturally Wally and Viximon ran ahead.
Together the rest of the team and their partners ran through the forest, eventually the grassy ground became sand
Suddenly Wally came running back to them, Viximon on his shoulder again. "Guys, we have a problem."
"We don't have time for your problems!" Artemis snapped throwing herself into his personal space. "There's gigantic bug with razor sharp teeth attacking us, in case you haven't noticed!"
"Momentai, Arty." Gummymon said looking up at his partner from his spot in her arms.
Wally returned Artemis' glare with one of his own. "Well we can't throw ourselves of a cliff now can we?!"
That reached through the Archer's panicked state. "What?"
Looking past Wally, she saw what he meant and nearly dropped Gummymon in shock.
The team made their way to the end of the cliff and peered down. It was a 60 feet drop and only Superboy and Kaldur would stand a chance in the fast flowing river down below.
Megan nervously shifted from one foot to another, her grip on Hopmon tightened when she turned to Kaldur. "What now?"
"We fight." Conner declared stepping away from the rest of the team.
Kaldur quickly pulled Conner back by placing a hand on his shoulder. "We can't. Artemis, Robin and myself are weaponless. Megan just confessed to her powers not working because of this world. We can't engage the beast."
"Then what do you suggest we d-"
The team threw themselves at the ground when Kuwagamon flew over them. Flying low as it attempted to tackle them so they could get between it's scissors. Megan, Artemis, Robin and Wally crying out when the wind that Kuwagamon's wings created was nearly enough to push them over the cliff.
"Digimon, attack!" Bukamon suddenly cried. He and the digimon leaped towards Kuwagamon who was already flying to the team for its' second attack.
"Bubble blow!" Bukamon, Viximon and Gummymon cried, spitting out large exploding bubbles.
"Piripiri spark!" Pinamon cried shooting small electric sparks from his tail feathers.
"Metal drop!" Dorimon barked out the name of his attack as he spit out iron beads at the angry Kuwagamon.
"Hop hip!" Hopmon shouted before spitting out balls of pink slime at Kuwagamon,.
The attacks hit Kuwagamon at the same time and the red beetle let out a loud screech, but didn't slow down at all. In the end it was six tiny digimon against a large beetle twenty times their size.
Kuwagamon rammed into them sending the six lower level digimon to a painful meeting with the ground. It then fly over the teens again.
Grunting at how hard it was to stand thanks to the strong wind Kuwagamon's wings were created Conner forced himself back to his feet and rushed to his fallen partner's side. "Dorimon!" The clone cried kneeling down and carefully -almost afraid that the little digimon would break if he touched him- Conner shook Dorimon hopping to get some form of response.
His scowl faded when Dorimon's eyes slid open.
It took some effort but the rest of the team also made their way to their digimon.
"Viximon..." Wally whispered, gently scooping the yellow fox up in his arms. "Come on girl..."
Megan whimpered, holding Hopmon close to her chest.
Artemis was on her knees a battered Gummymon on her lap. "I-I.. Gummymon why did you do that?!"
"Momentai, Artemis." Gummymon groaned. "Momentai."
That made Artemis paused. That word... He had said it before and the archer knew exactly where she heard it before. Back when she was four and her mom could still walk... Paula tried to teach her two daughters Cantonese. Nowadays Artemis barely even remembered Vietnamese, but somehow the blond still remembered that word.
Her shoulders slumped and she clenched her eyes shut. "Oh Gummymon..."
Robin was quiet as he held Pinamon and gazed at those sad brown eyes.
"Bukamon." Kaldur said, carefully lifting the seal like digimon up. "It was..." foolish of you to attack' but looking into those sad blue eyes stopped Kaldur from voicing that thought. "Why?"
"It was going to hurt you." Bukamon managed wincing in pain. "We couldn't let that happen."
As touching as that was... "If my team can't fight Kuwagamon, why would-"
"It's a digimon Kaldur." Bukamon interrupted him, clearly amused despite the bruises on his snout. "You fight digimon with digimon." The amusement faded from his eyes when Kuwagamon flew past them again.
"He's trying to push us of the edge." Kaldur realized taking a step back.
Bukamon's eyes narrowed with determination. "Well he's going to. Kaldur let me at him!" When Kaldur's only response was tightening his grip Bukamon started frantically moving his flippers to get out of the Atlantian's hold.
Behind them the rest of the team was having the same problem with their digimon.
Pinamon's feathers were fluffed as the little bird digimon tried to appear bigger. Robin just held him closer. "One more of those attacks and Kuwagamon will send you guys down that cliff." Robin couldn't stop the shiver that ran down his spine at that. "You're not gonna fall down."
He'd only just met the little guy, but no one should fall to their death.
No one.
"Let me at him!" Gummymon cried trying to squirm out of Artemis's arms.
Artemis just held on tighter. "No way!"
"Hopmon?" Megan looked down at her partner. "You too?"
"Uh huh." Hopmon nodded.
Viximon's fur was on edge. "Let me go Wally." She ordered her tone held no room for argument even though that was exactly what she was gonna get.
"Yeah, in your dreams."
Conner was having no trouble restraining his partner, that is un till Dorimon suddenly met his eyes. "I'm sorry Conner." Dorimon yipped before biting Conner's hand who let go. Not because it hurt, but because of the surprise.
"Dorimon!"
Seeing Dorimon break free was enough to motivate the other digimon and soon all of them broke free from their partners and started charging at Kuwagamon again.
"Hopmon! No!"
"Gummymon!"
"Don't do it Pinamon!"
"Stop! Bukamon!"
"Viximon!" Wally cried. He took a step forward ready to run to their digimon and stop them from their suicide mission, but was then that the steady beeping from the small device strapped to one of his suspenders got louder.
A bright light came from all their digivices and surrounded their partners.
"Bukamon digivolve too... Betamon!"
"Viximon digivolve too... Renamon!"
"Pinamon digivolve too... Falcomon!"
"Gummymon digivolve too... Terriermon!"
"Dorimon digivolve too... Dorumon!"
"Hopmon digivolve too... Monodramon!"
The lights fadded at their digimon friends who... Changed.
"They're... Bigger." Megan gasped out, her gaze trained on the mini-dragon that Hopmon had become. He was still blueish grey, had a somewhat pointed head and he had bat-like wings attached too both his arms.
The digimon continued on their charge but Kuwagamon was ready them and easily knocked all six of them to the ground. Their partners were back on their feet in no time though.
"Alright, he asked for it!" Betamon called out sounding a whole lot calmer than he had when he was still Bukamon.
Betamon looked like a bright green tadpole with sharp teeth.. A two foot tall, green tadpole with sharp black nails at it's feet, a bright orange fin on top of its' head and blue stripes on its' back.
"Beta Slugger!" Betamon yelled jumping up and cutting Kuwagamon with his fun. It must have hurt because Kuwagamon let out his loudest screech yet.
Falcomon was the next to attack. "Ninja Blade!" The three-foot tall, black bird digimon yelled releasing multiple shuriken at his opponent from his space in the air. Flapping his powerful wings.
"Bunny Blast!" Terriermon called out his high-pitched voice echoing as he spit out a gust of green, superheated air that hit Kuwagamon right in the face.
Terriermon looked a whole lot different from Gummymon. He was a white digimon with long wide bunny ears that were tipped green, just like his arms and legs. He had small pointy horn on his forehead and was just a couple of inches shorter than Falcomon.
From all the digimon Renamon looked the most different from her previous form. No longer the small Viximon, she now was a tall and slender fox. She had the same yellow fur as before but a white chest, stomach and feet. Her long tail was tipped white as were her ears.
Renamon took a step back, "Diamond Storm!" She yelled, sharpened leaves appearing out of no where and flying straight at Kuwagamon.
"Cracking Bite!" Monodramon had the same funny lisp he had as Hopmon. He took a giant leap at Kuwagamon and bit down on one of the beetle's arms and didn't let go.
At least not till Dorumon prepared to attack.
Dorumon looked like mini-dragon covered in purple fur. Like Dorimon he had a white snout. He had tiny black bat-like wing on his back and a red triangle shaped gem on his forehead.
Dorumon let out a series of barks drawing his head back. "Metal Canon!" He cried spitting out a hot iron spear from his mouth.
It hit Kuwagamon right on the head finally knocking the bug digimon out cold. Kuwagamon hit the ground with a loud thud sending dust flying everywhere.
For a moment everyone was silent. No one in the team knowing what to say as they stared at their digimon in bewilderment.
Which is probably why it were the digimon who broke the silence. Cheering loudly as they each rushed to their partner.
"I told you we could do it, Kaldur!" Betamon cheered stopping in front Kaldur's feet.
Looking down at the green digimon Kaldur allowed himself to grin. "You sure did. My friend." He said kneeling down and patting Betamon's head. It felt a lot like patting a seal.
Wally looked at Renamon, clearly impressed. "Talk about a growth spurt." She was a little taller than Robin and most definitely no longer fit on his shoulder. "That was awesome!"
Terriermon used his large ears to glide through the air and floated over to Artemis. "Did you like it?"
Easily catching the bunny out of the air Artemis smiled. "Not bad."
They were all taking in their partners new appearance and celebrating their victory. None of them noticed Kuwagamon getting back up. Not until the red beetle let out a vicious roar.
The digimon each got into a defensive position in front of their partners again, but that didn't do much.
Not when Kuwagamon stabbed his scissor like horns into the ground and it cracked.
It only to seconds for the cliff to crumble and send everyone falling down towards the cold river below...
