Hey guys, glad to know that you guys liked the continuation :D
Anyways nothing much could be said besides the fact that I am going to continue this story like nothing XD
JK, anyways there are going to be some changes to the way how things go around in than in the actual show.
Well one, obviously since Tai isn't here lol
I'll try to add some more perspective over everyone's thoughts, but's mostly in third person mixed in between Kari and Sora, I think it's mostly Sora XD
(I'm sorry. But I absolutely love Sora, and honestly I think she would play as the awesome bigger sister kind of role here)
Also I will be using some Japanese names here well since… like I said I follow the Sub version too, but yeah.
Also you'll see what I mean later on lol
With that out of the way here we go :D
Chapter 5: A New World
"...Ri..."
"Hi...ri..."
"Hikari!" a voice echoed through the girl's head, Kari forced her pink-brown eyes open. "I'm alright..." She muttered softly, she moved her hands a bit around, making her blink a bit when she felt the hard dirt floor.
'How does the snow melt that fast?' The girl wondered. Remembering that it had been snowing as of late.
"Hikari." The voice sounded again softly. It was then that the young girl felt weight on her chest.
Kari had to lift her head up in order to see why there was pressure. The first thing that she saw were a shot of ruby red eyes blink at her.
And for a moment neither of the two did anything. But Kari lifted herself slowly using both of her hands to push herself up in a sitting position, whereas the strange almost cat like creature slid from her chest and down to her lap.
"What are you doing here?" Kari asked softly, lifting the small creature from her lap in her hands.
"I'm here with you Hikari. I was waiting for you." The yellow cat head with a long matching tail with purple marks said looking at her with wide red eyes.
"You're a Digimon...?" Kari questioned, recalling a certain pink little Digimon in her past. Koromon...
"Are you like Koromon?" The young brunet asked.
A sad look appeared over the yellow cat creature. "No... I'm Nyaromon..." She said, the sad look deepening.
Kari noticed this and held the Digimon in her hands softly. "I'm sorry..."
"What for?" Nyaromon asked, any traces of sadness edging away.
Kari glanced at the cat-like Digimon. "You looked so sad an-"
"GAAAAHHH!" A sudden scream shouted, making both females jump, they turned their heads towards the sound of the scream. Right there against a distant purplish-brown tree remained a single girl, Kari stood up almost instantly, mindful to hold onto the yellow cat in her hands when she spotted the well-known blue hat on top of the owner of the previous scream.
"What are you!?" She shouted backing away from a pink Digimon who tried to crawl towards her way closer.
"Sora... Sora. It's Me Sora." She edged closer, her green eyes big and positive.
But the red head wasn't taking any of that. "W-What Are you?"
"I'm Yokomon! I've been waiting for you Sora... Sora~!" The pink plant-like Digimon said before jumping in the girl's arm.
She looked like a light pink radish; multiple tiny stubs for her feet with a large blue flower on her head, with yellow vines stubbing out, one of which curved into a question mark as it darkened in a reddish orange color.
Sora winced away, and her back hit against the tree. As her crimson eyes widened in fear.
"Sora!" Kari yelled, racing over to the older girl.
"Kari!" Sora yelled, her eyes still wide from the creature, but they grew larger when she saw the yellow one in her friend's hands.
"Kari-!"
"It's okay, they aren't going to hurt us." Kari said upon reaching Sora.
"What?"
"They're Digimon, they are our friends." Kari tried to reason, as her partner finally caught up with her. Sora rose a brow in confusion, but unexpectedly the pink creature jumped into her tense hands, making the older girl wince away. But when the radish shaped creature didn't do anything, Sora dared to look at the plant like creature in her hands.
All she did was smile at the red head, gentle and rather sweetly. She tilted her head side to side. "Sora... Sora~!" She chanted playfully and well... Cute.
As if the little chant calmed her down, the girl didn't look at the plant creature as afraid, but nevertheless still put her down to the floor softly.
"D-Digimon?" Sora questioned, looking at the pink one, before at the yellow and purple in Kari's hands.
Her crimson gaze faced the young one. "H-How do you know about them Kari?"
"I met them four years ago... I met Koromon..." As if the name triggered something both of the Digimon looked at the floor, making both Humans stare at them.
"Is something wrong?" Sora asked, crouching down at the pink plant. But she didn't answer at all to the red head.
Kari furrowed her eyebrows together, forgetting that she actually sadden Nyaromon saying that name. "I'm sorry Nyaromon..."
Neither of the Digimon bothered to say anything anymore, not even Yokomon...
Sora took a deep breath, "Well... Kari since you're here, I'm certain the others are too... so how about we go look for them?"
Kari stared at her sister-figure, a tiny faint smile appeared over her face. "Seems like a good idea." She said still holding onto the cat-like Digimon and following right behind Sora who also took her Digimon in her arms and continued through.
"Where exactly are we?" Kari asked, breaking the ice.
"On File Island." Both Digimon answered cheerfully.
"File Island?" Sora asked looking down at her Digimon as she walked.
"Yup." Yokomon answered giving the girl a large smile.
It was strange... if anything Sora doesn't ever recall of a place called File Island...? Considering that the only island that she's ever lived in is Japan, if it's even considered as an island...?
As the girls continued their way through the jungle-like woods, every time they would approach somewhere a series of reaping clicks would occur. And at times it sounded like it would be close by, and other times it sounded really far out.
"What is that noise anyways?" Sora asked.
Both young Digimon remained deathly still. Making both humans look at each other confused.
"It's Kuwagamon." Nyaromon answered, wrapping her long tail around Kari's arm.
Sora rose a brow. "What's a Kuwagamon?"
But before anyone could answer, the loud sets of clicks and flapping wings repeated themselves, this time sounding almost deafening to the four. Sora felt her heart beat quickly when the sounds almost boom in her ear. By instinct she grabbed onto Kari's hand and dove right into the bushes. The Digimon riding right along.
"This way!" A voice shouted, making the Digimon perk their ears.
"Motimon?" Yokomon questioned lifting her head up above the bushes, and there she managed to see not only Motimon, but also Tokomon and Tsunomon being carried with two other people like Sora.
Except they were running away from the large red stag beetle.
"T.K!" Kari yelped upon seeing the other young child of the group getting chased by a large red stag beetle.
"Get Down!" Sora yelled pushing the girl's head down the bushes, moments before the large beetle actually spotted them.
"-But...-"
"They'll be fine, Motimon is great at finding hiding spots." Nyaromon advised, a large smile on her round face.
"Just wait until the adult Digimon leave." Finished Yokomon, before the four became suddenly silent. They managed to catch sight of the six jumping inside what looked like a tree.
The girls looked up to the sky, watching the large stag beetle fly overhead, the rapid wing beats and clicking noises echoing across the forest. It was clearly angry, but thankfully haven't found them and before long the enlarged bug was gone, even the sounds it made disappeared along with it.
"You think it's gone?" Kari asked, looking up at her sister-figure.
Sora's head popped out of the bush, with a heavy sigh and a built mass of brief courage she stepped out of the hiding spot and took a long look around. "Seems like it's gone."
Yokomon bounced right behind the girl, her green eyes also searching around. "I think it's safe to say that we can call the others out."
Sora and Kari nodded before proceeding to the tree where the others entered inside. "You can come out now."
Two seconds later it was Matt who prodded his head out. "Sora?"
"That was a close one." The red haired girl continued, looking at the three with a smile.
Matt didn't say anything as he walked out of the tree, his little brother and Izzy also appearing out of the tree.
"Sounds like Kuwagamon has gone far away Sora." Yokomon commented, her green eyes staring at the other humans.
Sora smiled at the little plant-like Digimon. "Okay thanks Yokomon."
"So you guys too huh?" Matt asked, quirking a brow up.
"Eh? Oh..." Sora looked down at both Yokomon and Nyaromon who now jumped in glee with reuniting with the other Digimon. "Yeah. I guess us too."
Sora stared down at the two other creatures on the floor. One looked like an orange basketball, save for the face which remained a cream color with piercing red eyes and a large dark grey horn at the top of his head.
The next one looked like a jellyfish-shaped mochi with small arms and chocolate colored eyes.
Izzy's black eyes examined the small Digimon. "She looks like a plant, but also like..." The three turned around, seeing the other two Digimon behind them. "Like one of them..."
T.K. nuzzled the white one in his arms like a puppy. "Tokomon~!" He called out at the piglet shaped Digimon, with four stubs for limbs and large innocent black pools for eyes.
Matt stared "What exactly are you-"
"NAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" But a loud scream interrupted the blond from finishing his question.
Everyone jumped, as they turned towards the scream's direction. They managed to catch sight of their blue haired councilor running in their direction. He obviously saw them since he was screaming for help.
"HELP ME!"
"Joe?" Sora asked, her eyes wide, just when stopped before them to catch his breath.
"Help Me! S-some Weird Thing Is Chasing Me!" He cried, fear evident in his face.
Well the thing just had to impose that as it floated up to his shoulder. "I'm not a weird thing! I'm Bukamon"
The floating creature seemed to be some kind of grey hoovering aquatic dinosaur with sea blue eyes and fire shaped fragment of hair on it's head.
Joe squealed while the Digimon laughed, but for a small moment when he finally did stopped to see why the others weren't screaming, he noticed something different in the ground.
"Wha...?" He noticed all the current Digimon. "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS!?" He screamed.
Bukamon jumped down, hoovering next to the rest of his companions. "We're Digimon! Digital Monsters~!" All of them said at the same time.
Every single human there stared at the small baby Digimon with wide eyes. "Digital Monsters?" Izzy asked taking one step forward.
The single yellow cat like Digimon jumped up to the center. "I'm Nyaromon." She said with a large smile.
"I'm Tsunomon." The orange one said with a small blush on his face.
"I'm Yokomon." The pink plant one continued with a ruffle of her blue flower.
"I'm Motimon." The pink mochi one said placing a hand over where his heart probably is.
"You guys can call me Bukamon~!" The aquatic dinosaur said with a small wave.
"I'm Tokomon." Finished the piglet as he twitched his white tendrils for ears.
Kari smiled, taking one half step towards the Digimon and place a hand on her chest softly. "I'm Kamiya Hikari, but everyone calls me Kari."
The red headed girl moved up next to the young brown haired girl. "I'm Takenouchi Sora. Nice to meet you all." Also sharing a smile.
"I'm Ishida Yamato, but I go by Matt." The blond haired male said, and unlike the other times he usually introduce himself, he actually used a smile.
"Kido Joe, I don't suppose you know where the adults are?" The bluette questioned, this time much calmer. Though he only got a confused look from the small animal-like creatures.
"I'm Izumi Koushiro, but just call me Izzy." The red haired boy stated softly.
"I'm Takaishi Takeru, but you guys can call me T.K." Finally the last one said with a bright smile.
"Okay! That's everyone right?" Joe asked looking around.
"Wait... I'm sure there was another one with us..." Sora pondered, placing a finger under her chin wondering.
"You mean Mimi-san?" Izzy continued, seeing the third girl wasn't around anywhere.
"Oh yeah, the girl with the pink hat right? There's something I have to give her...!" The bluette said.
Kari furrowed her brows a bit in worry. "Where could she be?"
"KYYYYAAAAAAAUUUUUHHHHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"
This time everyone jumped at the female scream echoed throughout the forest. In fact some birds actually flew away from the trees at the sound of the scream.
"That must be her!" Matt shouted, his head looking at the general direction. "Let's go!" He shouted as everyone raced over.
Kari and Sora took the lead, dodging anything that would have gotten in the way, as their partnered Digimon followed closely to their side. It didn't take long until finally they managed to get to a clearer area within the jungle-like forest.
And she is right there, that a familiar pink blotch came running over in their direction. The girl was whimpering, crying and screaming all the same. With something green running besides her as well.
"Mimi!?" Sora shouted, but instantly had to crouch down at the sight of the large red stag beetle when it flew right above them.
Her crimson eyes catching sight of the strawberry blond haired girl now on the floor as lime green turnip-shaped Digimon remained beside her.
Sora took quick action and raced over to the whimpering girl.
"Mimi you okay?" The lime-green plant Digimon asked, her crimson eyes full of worry all the same while using her small blunt clawed stubs for feet to edge closer to the girl.
"Tanemon..." Mimi whimpered as tears now feel from her honey eyes.
"Hang in there." Sora said, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Sora-san?" Mimi blinked in surprise.
But the reunion had to end short when the Kuwagamon decided to return. "No time for that, get up and run!" She shouted, helping the other up and making a dash for it. It sounded harsh, that was true, but she couldn't deal with a girl crying if their lives were at stake.
The sounds of tree getting cut and tossed in the ground sounded closer by the second. Matt looked behind him watching as the red coloring of the large bug got closer to the group of kids and baby Digimon.
"Get Down!" He shouted quickly pushing his little brother and himself down.
Everyone else took the warning without hesitation, Kari felt her sister figure grab her and get down along with Mimi. Masses of wind pounded on them as the large beetle flew right above and pass them again. Cutting more tree tops in the process.
Joe was the first to get up, as worry filled in his eyes. "Wha-What is this?! Just What Kind Of Place Is This!?"
"Here He Comes Again!" Yokomon shouted, her green eyes wide.
"It cannot end like this!" Kari said, standing up in shock.
"Kari, there's nothing we can do!" Sora shouted in surprise.
"She's right! We have no weapons to defend ourselves with!" Matt added.
"There's no choice but to run away!" Izzy stated, looking over his shoulder seeing more tree tops getting tossed in the air.
"Then what are we waiting for! Run!" Joe said already scampering away. And for once everyone listened to him and chased the eldest child there.
Sora felt her heart pound against her rib-cage, for once in her life she has never felt such fear in her life. But-
Even with her feet pounding against the floor, her eyes still gathered over to the young Kamiya. No doubt that she was scared beyond reason.
"Please, I'm asking you to take care of her..."
The girl shook her head, but what can she do!? They are being chased by some kind of large mutated bug! There are practically less than zero things that she can do in this situation!
Her feet came to an abrupt stop when he saw that they no longer had any more land to run on.
"Oh No...!" The red head cried, and to make maters worst, Kuwagamon just had to appear behind them at the wrong time too.
"S-Sora!" Kari cried clinging onto the older girl's arm.
Sora trembled when suddenly the stag beetle took to the air again and aimed towards them. Instantly everyone fell onto their stomachs, narrowly avoiding the sharp pincers of the adult Digimon.
Kari screamed, her grip on the older girl tighten. "Onii-san!" She cried, she wanted to be home! She wanted to be with her brother! The tears now falling out of her eyes, making her sister-figure skip a heartbeat. Even if Tai was here…
The loud sets of clicks and wing beats pierced the air once again, Sora looked up in fear. This wasn't good! It just can't end like this!
The clicks and beating wings made another round and started returning back at them.
It's over... It really was...!
"Everyone! Attack!" A voice shouted suddenly.
Neither of the humans managed to catch sight of what was happening, but the sounds of popping bubbles were strong in everyone's ears.
But so were the sounds of child screaming.
Both Sora and Kari managed to sneak a look up and saw that all of the baby Digimon jumped up and summoned what looked like a series of pink bubbles at the large stag beetle.
One alone wouldn't have affected the beetle but with everyone's attack combined, it managed to somehow blind the adult Digimon as it lost control of where it was going.
It's shelled body ended up smashing into the baby Digimon as they bounced off harshly and hurled down to the floor.
Pink-brown eyes widened in fear. "Nyaromon!" She shouted seeing her new friend hitting the floor harshly.
No one bothered to see the large Digimon as it crashed into nearby trees. As their worry traversed to their Digimon. At that everyone already stood up quickly and raced towards their fallen partners.
"Nyaromon... why would you do that?" Kari asked as tears welled up in her eyes. "You almost killed yourself…"
The yellow and purple cat looked at Kari with tired red eyes. "But... I have to protect you Hikari..."
Blinding images appeared in the young girl's head, and multiple sirens and screaming echoed in her head. The tears poured out of Kari's eyes. "Nyaromon...!"
Sora raced over to her own fallen companion, "Yokomon..." Sora started, holding up her new partner in her arms. She vaguely heard the others worrying over their own, but all the red haired girl could really think about was her own friends. Worried eyes reached over to Kari who was only a few inches away from her, before back the pink Digimon in her arms.
"Why would you risk your life for mine...?" Sora asked, holding onto Yokomon a bit higher.
"Because... y-you're my friend Sora..." A large nerve hit over the girl the moment the words left Yokomon's mouth.
But even before she had a chance to even think about it, the sounds of trees clattered and crash down to the floor. The sound of pincers clasping together loud.
No one bothered to stay as they raced as far as they could from the enlarged beetle before them. Their Digimon partners in their arms.
Every one of the humans felt their hearts stop when the large stag beetle now walked his way closer towards the children. Each thump coursing through the ground.
"He's still alive..." Matt commented, hugging his partner closer to him as his brows slanted in anger and worry.
The clicking became much clearer and soon enough the large red bug roared. The children winced and huddled closely to each other and farther away from the large creature.
Sora took one single step away from the large bug, she felt something, or rather someone bump into her hip. She didn't need to turn to know that it was Kari, as she felt the younger grab a hold of her shirt. Sora felt the sweat drip down on her face, there was just nothing else that she could do for the young Kamiya.
"Damn it... at this rate...!" Matt continued for the group's thoughts.
It really did seem to be the end...
"Not yet..." Nyaromon started, turning her round body towards the large bug. "I have to go."
Kari widened her eyes largely while she looked at her friend.
"We have to fight!" The cat-like Digimon continued staring at the brunet.
"What are you talking about!? You can't fight him." Kari shouted in shock and fear.
"She's right. That's why we've waited so long..." Motimon added, as he tried to get out of Izzy's hold.
"You can't!" Izzy called, tightening his grip slightly.
"I'm going." Yokomon declared.
Sora looked at her Digimon as if she developed four eyeballs. "Don't be absurd! Even if you work together, you won't be able to beat him!"
"But we have to try!" Tsunomon shouted violently trying to escape Matt's hold.
It was unexpected for the blond haired male. "Wait!"
"Me Too!" Tokomon shouted now baring his unexpected set sharp teeth as he struggled from the younger sibling's hug.
And they weren't the only ones too as Bukamon tried in. "And Me!"
Out of everyone, Mimi didn't try to fight her own partner. "Tanemon, you too?"
The green plant Digimon nodded her head, accepting hers' and the other Digimon's decision.
Kari had struggled to keep in Nyaromon from trying to leave, but the yellow cat had persisted and kept struggling to break free, "Here We Go!" She shouted and almost effortlessly she managed to jump out of the young girl's grip.
And soon enough, the rest of the Digimon managed to escape as well. Those with any form of limbs managed to run close to the large red Digimon, those that didn't jumped their way; with the exception of Bukamon since he was able to hoover over the ground.
Time just seemed to almost slow down as each of the baby Digimon made their way closer to the one adult Digimon. But it sure wasn't any better for the humans to see their new friends now fight for their lives.
Sora didn't want to take any of it as worry bubbled in her frame. "Yokomon!"
Izzy didn't like his Digimon was running at the larger foe. "Motimon!"
Matt felt his blood run cold at the sight of his partner running into danger. "Tsunomon!"
The mere fact that his friend now is risking his life scared T.K. "Tokomon!"
Despite being scared of him at first didn't mean Joe wanted him to get hurt. "Bukamon!"
Mimi held her hands together, as fear dripped into her heart. "Tanemon!"
Kari felt her entire body freeze up when she saw her new companion race off towards the Kuwagamon, she didn't bare it any longer as she made her way past everyone and at her friend. "NYAROMON!"
But the moment the youngest female of the group screamed out bright sets of lights went off right before the children's eyes.
Well do you guys think?
I did my best in order to capture the situation as close as possible with a few added changes here and there.
Anyways I guess that's about it considering that I wanted to end the chapter right there.
Oh BTW.
My cousin wanted to join in on the write, though not as much but more like feedback and handing some idea here and there.
So you might find some guest appearances from Darkyami1214 :D
So yeah, that's about it, so see you guys in the the next chapter.
