Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon
Chapter 4: The Star River of Rebirth part 2
Sometime has past since they separated and Rico is becoming really anxious to meet his partner. Leaving the riverside he heads toward a open field of grass.
'huh' Rico looks around as he hears a soft voice call out his name. Slowly walking forward the voice keeps getting louder until he sees a egg hidden in the grass. The egg was a crimson red with orange flame designs on it.
Reaching out to pick up the egg Rico notices it moving and beginning to crack. The egg hatches and a red sun shaped Digimon appears and his D-alpha.
Rico's D-alpha has a grey orb with a turquoise body and the outlining and buttons are orange. "Whoever coloured this device mustn't of been too colour coordinated" Rico says staring at the device.
"It's not suppose to match" Rico looks up and notices the hatched Digimon was talking to him. "Each of the 3 colours represent a part of who you are, like your personality."
"My personality?" Rico replies looking back at the device. "I didn't know I have such a mismatch of coloured personalities." Rico smiles at his new partner who smiles back, then the grey orb glows.

"Digimon: Sunmon
Level: In-training
A sun like Digimon with a cheery attitude and belongs to the Virus Buster family."
Looking up, Rico stares at his partner "so your name is Sunmon. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Same here, Rico Kirihara" Sunmon smiles.
"Let's go do some exploring" Rico pumps his fist into the air, receiving cheers from Sunmon.
The day has been quite eventful and trilling for some, but for Shin it didn't matter to him. He did not care about helping this world and he didn't care about getting back home either.
'They don't care anyways, whether I'm here or in school, they won't notice me at all' Shin thinks to himself. 'Especially now with what has been happening at home.'
Shin snaps out of his trance when he realizes he doesn't know where he is. Continuing to walk in the same direction, he finds himself in a small clearing in the forest. In the centre is a pond with crystal clear water and small patches of rocks surrounding it.
Hearing a voice echoing in his head, Shin walks toward a pile of rocks at the ponds edge. Climbing over them he sees a egg in the water that is by the rocks. Snatching the egg out of the water he walks off the rocks and sits down on the grass at the waters edge.
The egg is white with spots of a very light green colour. Shin didn't like the idea of having to raise a Digimon and take care of it. The thought always reminds him of his own problems.
Shin sits still as the egg hatches before him and he gets his D-alpha. He seems more interested in the strange device on his arm then the little green blob with a pacifier like object in its mouth.
Shin's D-alpha sphere is purple with a white body and grey outlining and buttons.

"Digimon: Pabumon
Level: Fresh
A baby slime Digimon that generates lots of small bubbles with it's body. Do to it's soft body the Digimon is not yet ready for battle due to low defence."
Pabumon is happy to see his partner as he blows lots of bubbles but it seems Shin isn't to pleased.
Shin stands up and stares at Pabumon "I have to take care of you, your just like a baby and right now that's the last thing I want." Turning around, Shin starts to walk away leaving Pabumon behind.
Pabumon wobbles after his partner, trying to keep up, only to tumble over face first as Shin walks back into the woods. Seeing his partner gone, Pabumon begins to cry releasing hoards of bubbles into the air.
Just past the tree line Shin is standing still, head down and fist clenched as he hears his partner crying. Letting out a sigh, Shin turns around and picks up his partner.
"Stop crying, you will never grow up to be strong if all you do is cry" Shin says as he walks away with his partner in his hands.
Pabumon stops crying and seems to have cheered up fast as he starts to produce more bubbles.
"I hate bubbles" these words didn't seem to reach his partners ears because he continues. All Shin can do is put up with his partner as he heads off to look for food.
Rita was now alone walking on the opposite side of the river from where they came in from. After chasing Terriermon, she lost sight of him in the trees. Now she was out of the green terrain and was near a rocky mountainous terrain.
'Man, If I keep wandering around like this I'm going to get lost' Rita thought. 'I'm already practically lost so it shouldn't really matter' Rita continues into the rocky area.
Not to long afterwards she comes to a crater in the ground with a few eggs in it. Rita slides down into the crater and feels drawn to the egg in the centre of the rest. Picking it up and slowly making it back up out of the crater, Rita collapses to the ground due to exhaustion.
'I'm to tired for this' Rita thinks as she lays on the ground not noticing the bright flash besides her.
Feeling something heavy on her forearm she opens her eyes and raises her arm above her face. A D-alpha with a green orb, brown body and red outlining and buttons is strapped to her arm. Next to her is a grey cloud of smoke that has a face on it.

"Digimon: Mokumon
Level: Fresh
A smoke type Digimon that uses the smoke surrounding its body to hide its bare digicore."
Rita, still lying down, looks at Mokumon. "Why couldn't you be a rain cloud or better yet a fruit tree, I could go for some delicious food right now."
Rita sits up as she sees her partner start to float away. Standing up she follows Mokumon until they reach some bushes where he stops. Getting a closer look Rita sees berries.
Quickly charging forward she starts to eat the berries. "Delicious" She says as her eyes water in delight. Taking some in her hands she puts them in front of her partners face "here your probably hungry too."
Rita and Mokumon sit back as they stuff their faces in the berries.
Aki is the last to find her partner as she walks through the woods toward a large tree. The voice that is ringing in her ears gets stronger as she nears the tree. Looking up she sees her partners egg lying on a branch.
'Ha, ha, tree climbing is no problem for me, my friends always says I'm part monkey due to my excellent skills.' A huge grin forms across Akis face.
Just like a monkey it only takes her a minute to reach her egg as she climbs and swings from the branches. When she reaches the egg she sees that it is yellow with black stripes. Picking up the egg, Aki quickly makes her way back down the tree. Upon landing, the egg hatches revealing her partner. The Digimon is small but it has big black eyes and a pair of leaf like wings on its back.
Akis D-Alpha has a yellow orb with a gold body and blue outlining and buttons. "Downloading personal information and status. Download complete. Digidestined Aki Yamura, age 12, gender: Female. Downloading partner information. Download complete" the 3-d image appears.
"Partner: Pupumon
Level: Fresh
A slime type Digimon born with the X-antibody. Its large eyes are sensitive to the slightest of movement making it a very alert Digimon."
Aki cuddles her cheek against her partners as she says how cute it is. Pupumon likes this and starts jumping up and down flapping the leaf like wings on its back.
"Do you want to fly?" Aki asks. Pupumon continues to jump up and down flapping its wings. "Alright then I will teach you how to fly." With that Aki takes off with her partner to learn how to fly.
As everyone is mostly enjoying their time with their partners, Aoi has finally caught up with Popomon. After approaching her partner for a second time, it jumps up into a tree.
'Where is Aki the monkey climber when you need her' Aoi thinks as she wasn't the best tree climber around.
Stretching a few times, Aoi approaches the tree and starts to climb. When she reaches the branch Popomon is on it attacks her once again, but Aoi was ready. Before climbing she put her goggles on so she wouldn't be blinded. Grinning at her victory she starts to lean forward to pick up her partner only for it to move further out on the branch. Crawling along the branch she corners him and as she reaches out yet again, she hears the one sound she didn't want to hear. The branch they were on could not support their weight and starts to crack.
"Oh man, this is gonna hurt" Aoi says as the branch gives away as she grabs her partner.
Aoi turns over in mid air and lands in some bushes on her back, Popomon held firmly against her chest.
"Ah-t-t-t-t-t, I'm going to feel that in the morning" Aoi says.
Popomon wiggles out of Aois hand and hops out of the bushes. Aoi quickly turns over and crawls out after her partner.
"Your not going to take off again are you, because I don't think I can handle another marathon run" Aoi says. Her exhaustion clearly seen on her face "Come on, come over here" she outstretches her hands and smiles.
Popomon seems hesitant at first but slowly makes its way towards Aoi. The Digimon rubs it head against her hand like a cat when it wants to be petted. While doing this Popomon begins to glow and a new Digimon now stands in its place.
Aoi points her D-alpha at the new Digimon and a 3-d image appears along with the info.
"Name: Frimon
Level: In-training
A lesser type Digimon with a frill around its neck. The frill and fur can harden at will and can act as armour when danger approaches. It has a curious nature and is extremely vigorous."
"I'm Frimon, your partner. That was really fun, we should do it again" the Digimon says energetically.
"Fun? You and me have two completely different definitions of fun" Aoi says standing up.
"So what should we do next?" Frimon asks in excitement.
"Next" Aoi says in disbelief of his energy. "Fine why don't we search for the others."
"Excellent hide-and-seek" Frimon says before running off.
"I am not running no more" Aoi says to herself as she stretches hearing a loud crack coming from her back.
"I wonder if their are any chiropractor's in the Digital world" Aoi slowly walks after her partner trying to massage her back.
Shin is resting his back against a tree as he bits into a purple, juicy fruit that a Elecmon gave him. Pabumon is sitting right beside him, staring up at him with its big eyes.
Shin notices the staring Digimon and stares back into its eyes. Taking his eyes away he tears a piece off of the fruit and gives it to his partner. Pabumon eats the piece of fruit as Shin stares at Pabumon yet again.
Shin looks up at nothing, resting his chin in the palm of his hand. "Babies need a lot of attention don't they." This remark causes Pabumon to stop eating and look up at Shin. "Soon I will be an older brother. My parents use to spend so much time with me and we always went to many different places together"
~~ Flashback ~~
"That Ferris wheel is huge, can we ride that one next?" a 6 year old Shin asks his parents as they walk through a amusement park together.
"Can I keep him?" Shin holds a injured puppy in his hands. He and his parents helped nurse the puppy and when it was well they kept it after no one claimed it.
"Whoa, this is so cool" Shin says to his parents as they stand on top of a hill overlooking a sunset on the ocean.
"You like it" his father asks and Shin nods with a huge smile. "Then why don't we make a promise to come back here every year on your birthday."
"Sorry Shin but I am too busy with work to come home for your birthday. Next year we will go to our special place" Shin's father says to him over a phone.
For Shin, when next year came it was always the year after. As time past his parents forgot all together and Shin was left alone on his birthday as both his parents worked.
~~ End flashback~~
"With the baby coming soon, the time I did have with my parents is being used to help prepare. They didn't even seem to care at all when I told them I wanted to go away to school"Shins mood drops as he gets sad.
"Don't be sad Shin, I am your friend and I will be by your side" Shin looks to his side to see Pabumon gone and a new Digimon in its place. "I'm Motimon" the pink blob Digimon says.
"Name: Motimon
Level: In-Training
A lesser type Digimon that is more developed then Pabumon. He has two arms and 3 claws on each hand."
"You opening up to me helped me digivolve. Now we can get stronger together and when you go back home I'm sure your parents will be happy to see you" Pabumon says.
"We should go now" Shin stands up and starts to walk away and Motimon wobbles behind him.
Rita and Mokumon were still siting down eating the berries. Finally sitting back and relaxing for once since arriving, Rita thinks about all that happened and whats to come. The biggest problems she sees is how they would save an entire world and then find a way home.
Mokumon sees Ritas worried face and takes some berries and tosses them at her. The berries splatter on her cheek and Mokumon starts to chuckle a bit. Rita wipes the juice off her cheek and stares at Mokumon as he laughs.
"So you want to fight, huh!" Rita takes some berries and throws them at her partner.
The berries pass right through Mokumons smoke like body and hits the ground behind him. This causes Mokumon to laugh even more.
"That is so not fair" Rita says as she tries to figure out how he eats if he is a ball of smoke.
A bright light surrounds Mokumon and he disappears, being replaced by a small ball of fire.
"Digimon: DemiMeramon
Level: In- Training
A rough Digimon with an aggressive attitude. This small Digimon is still very weak and will run away from water and ice based Digimon."
"You went from a smoke ball to a a ball of fire. Digimon are really strange creatures" Rita stares at DemiMeramon.
"We might be strange to you but for me you are the strange one. You don't look like you can do much but talk and stuff your face" DemiMeramon grins at her partner.
"Geez, thanks for the complement" Rita says sarcastically.
Standing up, Rita dusts herself off. "We should look for the others and find out what we should do next".
Rita walks off with DemiMeramon floating beside her.
"Faster and Harder" Aki calls out to Pupumon as he flaps his wings.
Pupumon keeps flapping his wings but can not lift that high up as he falls into Akis hands.
"Hm" Aki closes her eyes and thinks hard about what she can do to help. Her eyes open wide and she snaps her fingers, "I got it. I will hold you and then run, that way you might be able to use the breeze to fly."
Running through the field, Aki continues to pick up speed with her partner in her hands. Pupumon flaps its leaf wings as it starts to lift off of her hands. Aki stares at her partner and not where she is going, she trips over a log and falls face first to the ground.
Sitting up she looks around and doesn't see Pupumon anywhere. Aki becomes frantic as she looks around but sees nothing.
"Yae" Aki looks up to see her partner flying through the sky. Her partners appearance is different as he is now yellow with 6 wings and a small stinger.
"Digimon: Puroromon
Level: In-Training
A Larva type Digimon that can be described as a buzzing bee. Freely flying through the sky makes it a hard Digimon to catch and this annoys its opponent.
"I'm flying" Puroromon says as he flies through the sky.
Aki smiles at her partner as he comes down a flies in front of her.
"Hey, Aki" A voice yells from across the field.
Turning around she sees Rico running up to her with a floating sun like Digimon with him. Sunmon and Puroromon instantly bond as they take to the sky and play around.
"Have you seen anyone else?" Rico asks and Aki nods her head. Looking over Aki, Rico notices her dirty clothes "What happened to you?"
Aki laughs a bit as she scratches the back of her head "I tripped."
"How come that doesn't seem to surprise me that much" A new voice says. "You can be very clumsy at times."
Walking up to them is Aoi with a jumping fury Digimon with a frill. Frimon goes over to the other Digimon and they start to play around.
"Um.." Aki says as she points to Aois head. "You have something in your hair" She reaches out and pulls a twig out of Aois hair.
"What happened to you?" Rico asks. "I thought Aki was in rough shape but you are even worse. Did you fall out of a tree or something" Rico says laughing.
He stops laughing when he sees the serious look on Aois face. Not to long afterwards Shin and Rita joins the group with their partners. They build a small fire by the river and eats the food gracefully brought to them by the other Digimon. With a full stomach and the fatigue catching up to them, they all fall asleep by the fire.
The fire is gone out as the sun rises high into the sky outside the cavern. Aoi is the first to open her eyes and stays led down on the ground. She is thinking about all that has happened in the past day and about how she didn't have a nightmare that night.
'For the past week I have been having the dream about Yuki, So why now do I stop having them. Is it just a coincidence or is their some reason behind it.' She lets out a big sigh and then notices that there is something lying on her chest.
Raising her head up she sees a golden ball curled up on her chest. It stirs as the Digimon wakes up and stretches out like a cat.
"Is that you, Frimon?" Aoi asks as she sits up and the Digimon jumps off of her.
"I'm Leormon now" The lion cub Digimon says.
"Digimon: Leormon
Level: Rookie
A Holy Beast type Digimon that is very rare to see. It shows no mercy to anyone that trespasses on its territory, due to its strong territorial habits. When on alert, the hair on its head generates static electricity. He also bears a holy ring around his neck."
"You digivolved again?" Aoi looks at her partners new form.
"Yup, it must of happened over night while we were sleeping" Leormon says.
"Digimon: KoKabuterimon
Level: Rookie
A small Insect type Digimon that carries great power. He is mild nature and actually doesn't like to fight. But, he is very strong and can lift a Digimon three times its size."
Looking over to the other side of the fire, Shin is sitting up with his D-alpha analyzing the new Digimon. Standing in front of him is a small blue beetle with red spikes and a giant horn. Around his neck is a bright yellow cloth that he is wearing as a scarf.
"So your partner digivolved too" Aoi says to Shin.
"They all did" is all Shin says.
Aoi looks around and notices all the new Digimon sleeping around the fire. By Rico there is a orange-red humanoid lion with fire coming from its head and tail. Akis partner has turned into a big bee like Digimon with an antennae and a stinger. Lastly Ritas fire ball partner has turned into a candle with a face and a flame on its head.
"Hey, everyone wake up" Aoi calls out as she goes and gently shakes Rico and Rita awake. All she got from Aki is a typical '5 more minutes', finally getting her to wake up when her partner splashes water on her face.
"You are a very heavy sleeper, aren't you?" The bee Digimon says.
"Digimon: FanBeemon
Level: Rookie
A Insect type Digimon with a cheery attitude and is a hard worker. This Digimon has the ability to collect data from different type of plants and flowers and use them as building materials."
"I wouldn't mind going back to sleep for another bit. It is too early to get up" the fire lion says.
"Digimon: Coronamon
Level: Rookie
A Beast type Digimon. Being pure, he has a strong sense of justice."
"How can you even tell what time it is in this damp, dark cavern?" the candle Digimon asks.
"Digimon: Candlemon
Level: Rookie
A Flame type Digimon that bears its digi core on its head. Since he is a Fire type, he personally never harms those around him."
"I'm born from the sun so I can easily tell what time it is in the day" Coronamon replies.
"Early or not, I want to return to the castle so we can find out about what we need to do next" Rita says.
"Agreed" Rico says.
The group leaves and heads toward the entrance from where they came in. Waiting for them is Terriermon who seems happy about what he sees.
"Looks like you found your partners and they have all reached rookie level already, That;s good." Terriermons smiles.
"Now that we have found our partners, lets hurry back to the castle so MagnaAngemon can tell us more about what we need to do." Everyone agrees to Aois words as they start to head to the stairs but are stopped by Terriermon.
"Ya, about that" Terriermon says with a nervous laugh. "I got some news you might not like."
End of chapter. Well the partners are revealed and what is the news that Terriermon has? You will find that out next chapter. The main Digimon aren't going to be fan-made but if I come up with any ideas for Digimon down the line I might put them in. Not much else to say, it will take some time to update this story due to my other projects and my busy life at the moment. Until next time.
