*Disclaimer; I do not own 'RWBY' and/or 'Digimon'. All rights reserved to their respective owners. Now, the real journey can begin. But, what is Gennai's plan? Why would he wait to show up last minute? Well, we'll just have to keep going to find out, now won't we?*

"...by..."

A voice? Ruby couldn't identify who it belonged to, but as she continued to regain consciousness, the voice sounded clearer, yet unfamiliar.

"...R...uby..."

"Ugh, Y-Yang?" Ruby called out, though her head was still fuzzy. That blow she took really did a number on her.

"Who's Yang, Ruby? Is she a friend of your's?" Ruby froze her actions, her awareness and alertness kicking in overdrive upon hearing the unfamiliar voice. Immediately glancing around, no one was seen. Was she imagining things? "Because, if so I want to meet her."

Ruby finally found the source of this voice, though she was now more confused as to what she was seeing. When she sat up, she saw a small orange ball with a horn on its head. Its small, pudgy body was cute. But, what was cooler was the red eyes. In a way, it almost reminded the reaper of her older sister. Then, she gasped as she remembered. "We were attacked by someone, my friends and I. Then I blacked out and I woke up here... wherever here is." Now that she stood up, Ruby found herself surrounded by lush forest and thick trees. "This doesn't look like the Emerald Forest."

"That's because you're in the Digital World." The small pudgy ball said. Ruby looked at the little guy, unsure if she heard correctly. Before she could press any further, someone the brunette did recognize sounded off to her right.

"Ruby!" Yang called out from behind a tree. "Hey, Rubes! Where are you?!"

"Over here, Yang!" Ruby called back.

"Hey, Ruby!" Yang said, as she emerged from the trees. Following close behind her was a small, pink blob with long, skinny ears and, just like the other one, red eyes. "Suddenly found myself separated from the others, and came across this cute little thing." Yang said, addressing the pink blob behind her.

"Hello!" The pink blob greeted Ruby. "I'm Koromon! What's yours?"

"Ruby. Ruby Rose. Oh, that reminds me." Ruby turned to her companion. "I never learned your name."

"My name is Tsunomon." The red-eyed ball formally responded. "And, I'm your partner."

"Huh, just like Initiation..." Ruby thought to herself. It was at that moment when she remembered something. "Yang, what happened after that guy attacked me?"

Yang took a moment thinking back to when everything went crazy. "Oh, Right! Hackmon told us to stand inside the small temple, and Jaune had to carry you in because you were clocked out. Then there was this big, white light and we ended up here. Although, I don't think we're in Emerald Forest anymore."

"Emerald Forest?" Koromon asked. "There's no Emerald Forest on File Island. Much less the Digital World."

At this shocking revelation, Yang and Ruby both turned to the small guy in shock. "Digital World?!" Both girls shouted. Before anything further was said, someone made themselves known to the small party.

"There you guys are!" Weiss said, catching everyone's attention. Weiss wasn't the only one there, as Nora and Ren stood by her side, all three of them carrying a small creature. "We've been looking for you both since getting separated. Luckily, we met these little guys here." Weiss said, indicating the small seal in her arms, and the plant-like creatures in Nora and Ren's arms. "They were able to help us find you guys. Do you know where everyone else is?"

"No clue." Yang said. "You guys have them, as well, huh?" She asked, pointing to the small creatures.

"Yeah!" Nora said. "They're super cute, too! Mine's a plant!" Ignoring the obvious fact, it was at that moment that the remainder of the group had finally arrived.

"Guys!" Jaune called out, arriving with a small, bipedal pink creature in hand. Following beside him was Blake, carrying another pink creature. "Finally! I thought we'd never see each other again!"

"Awww~!" Yang cooed. "Vomit boy can't live without his Harem~."

"Yang!" Blake scolded. Ignoring Ruby's questioning look on what Yang meant by 'Harem', Blake continued. "Look, We don't know where we are at and the only ones who do are these guys." At this, Blake held the small, pink creature in her hands. "Apparently, they call this place the 'Digital World'."

"That's right." The pink thing in Blake's hands replied, jumping out of the Faunus' grip and landing by her feet. "And, we're called Digimon. Short for Digital Monsters."

"Neat." Ruby said, awkwardly. "And we're People. Short for... People."

"Interesting. I am Motimon, Blake's partner." The short pink creature bowed. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"I'm Tanemon." The green plant spoke up, jumping out of Ren's arms. The small, collected group of creatures gathered together, facing the reunited group of teens. "Please don't let my charming appearance fool you."

"My name is Tokomon." The pink, bipedal creature said. "I may be cute, but i'm tough."

"To properly introduce myself, I'm Koromon." Koromon said. "I hope you have lots of food, because I'm hungry."

"I'm Tsunomon." Tsunomon introduced himself. "Although, you already knew that."

"I'm Bukamon. I'm Weiss' partner." The little seal Digimon said.

"And, I'm Yokomon." The small, flower creature greeted.

"Great!" Yang said. "The gang's all here. Now we can d-"

"Yang, please don't." Weiss scolded her teammate.

"What? Why?"

"The last time you said this, we had to fight something twice our size, and-"

GRAAAAAAH!

Enough said...

One minute, the group were happy to be reunited. The next, they found themselves running for their lives. A large, giant, red insect creature with pincers was chasing after them, slicing down trees as it went.

"See?!" Weiss yelled, not daring to look back. "Every time, Xiao Long!"

"Oh, shut it and run, Ice Queen!" Yang yelled, using Ember Celica to burn through a bush. Luckily, RWBY, Jaune, Nora, and Ren all still had their weapons. "Now that I'm thinking about it, has any one seen Pyrrha?!"

"Nope!" Nora yelled, using Magnhild to smash a tree out of her way. "Ren?!"

"No, I haven't." Ren replied, holding Tanemon close.

"Well," Yang spoke up. "Hope she's having better luck than us right now." Making their way through the woods, the group soon found themselves in a clearing. Only, that clearing ended with a cliff face. With a rapid-flowing river just below the drop. Coming immediattely to a halt, everyone and their digimon partners stopped just seconds from the edge.

The giant insect was right on their tail, as it broke through the forest behind them and gave a bellowing roar. "What is that thing?!" Ruby finally asked.

"That's Kuwagamon!" Koromon answered. "Its a champion level Digimon, and its pincers are super powerful!"

"Good to know." Yang said. "Now how do we stop it?!"

"Like this!" Bukamon shouted. "Bubble Blow!" Bukamon unleashed a torrent of bubbles, seemingly unable to phase the creature. "Come on guys, together!"

"Bubble Blow!" All the tiny Digimon blew a larger torrent of bubbles, causing the creature to let out a sharp hiss. At first, it seemed to be working, until Kuwagamon roared.

It was agitated.

"Attack!" Koromon yelled, charging the beast.

"Wait, Koromon!" Yang yelled, stopping the small Digimon. When their eyes met, Yang could see the fire behind that sad look. Sighing, knowing they weren't going to give up despite their disadvantage, Yang nodded. "Kick its ass!" With Koromon, as well as the others continued their charge.

"Do it, Tsunomon!" Ruby yelled, pumping a fist in the air.

"Show them who they're dealing with, Bukamon!" Weiss cheered.

"Go, Motimon!" Blake supported.

"T-Tokomon, do it!" Jaune yelled.

"Yay, Yokomon!" Nora cheered.

"You got this, Tanemon!" Ren yelled.

Call it what you will. Magic, Timing, etc. But, at that moment, each of the group's Digivices gave off a vibrant glow that was warm and comforting. And, as each Digimon charged forward, they were each slowly engulfed in panels that soon formed a white egg, growing a little in size.

"Koromon, Digivolve to...!"

"Tsunomon, Digivolve to...!"

"Bukamon, Digivolve to...!"

"Motimon, Digivolve to...!"

"Tokomon, Digivolve to...!"

"Yokomon, Digivolve to...!"

"Tanemon, Digivolve to...!"

Each egg then proceeded to break open, revealing blue silhouettes replacing their partners, and began to form newer, slightly larger creatures.

"Agumon!" A bipedal, yellow lizard with claws and a stubby tail.

"Gabumon!" Another bipedal creature, this one looking like a small wolf with a yellow horn, blue stripes on its body, and four arms.

"Gomamon!" A four legged, white seal with an orange Mohawk, and three claws on the end of each fin.

"Tentomon!" A red ladybug with one claw on each foreleg, and large green eyes.

"Patamon!" A four legged, yellow creature with wings on top of its head.

"Biyomon!" A bulky, pink bird with a curled feather on its head, a pink beak and feathering, and three claws on the end of each wing.

"Palmon!" A bipedal, plant-like creature with a blooming flower atop its head, and what appeared to be poisonous ivy on the ends of each arm.

"What just happened?!" Nora asked, surprised and awed.

"That, Miss Valkyrie." Ozpin said from behind Ruby, causing the caped girl to jump in surprise. "Is Digivolution."
