Please disregard this chapter and the next. I used this one originally in List of Crossovers, but posted it again in this story to avoid confusion to new readers. Sorry about that.

*I still don't own RWBY or Digimon!*

Welcome to the Digital World!

Jaune felt as though he was floating for the longest time. He didn't know what happened to him. One minute he and the rest of Team RWBY are standing up for Yang at the Vytal Festival, then there was this horrible blinding light, and then… he didn't know WHAT happened!

"Jaune? Wake up, Jaune! Are you dead?" asked a voice before it asked "Can I have your hoodie if you're dead?"

Jaune struggled to open his eyes for a few moments, but he eventually managed to crack them open.

"Ugh, what happened…?" Jaune asked tiredly.

He managed to fully open his eyes and felt a small weight on his chest. He looked up and saw a pair of green eyes staring back at him. And these ones definitely didn't belong to anyone he knows. Naturally, the Arc boy did the only thing he could think of.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

He screamed at the top of his lungs.

Jaune tumbled back a few feet as he stood up to face the odd creature. And he was beginning to think that the tacos he ate for dinner the previous night might've been causing him to hallucinate or something.

"Okay, that's the last time I eat tacos made by Nora!" Jaune said to himself.

And he had a good reason to. That girl replaces the taco shells with pancakes! NOT a good flavor combination.

"Whoa, you've got a serious set of lungs on ya, Jaune! But you don't gotta be scared, I've been waiting all this time for you!" the creature said in a male voice.

Now that Jaune got a good look at the creature, he could tell that it at least wasn't a Grimm. It was pink and seemed to have no limbs. It's face was only a mouth and a pair of green eyes, and it has two long, wavy ears on top of its head. But what set this little guy apart was that he has a scar on his forehead that looks like an X.

"What do you mean you've been waiting for me?" Jaune asked.

"Exactly that! My name's Koromon X, and we're partners!"

"Koromon X… what does the 'X' stand for?" Jaune asked.

Koromon X just grinned and told Jaune what he knew about it.

"It means that I was born with something called an X-Antibody. I don't know what that is or what it's for, but it sounds important somehow."

"Well, all I know is that I've gotta find my friends before something else happens!" Jaune said.

But as he was about to walk off in a random direction, he realized he doesn't know anything about the layout of this land. So he turned to the only person/creature that does.

"Uhh, you want to come with me?" Jaune asked.

"Carry me?" Koromon X asked.

"Huh?"

Jaune yelped in surprise when Koromon X just up and hopped into his arms.

"You've got two long legs, so you can move faster than me. So until we find your friends, I need you to carry me! Now go! Mush! Upward and onward, Blondie!" Koromon X said like an old timey adventurer.

Jaune just rolled his eyes as his new little friend reminded him of Doctor Oobleck and began to walk deeper into the woods. Everything seemed to look the same to Jaune as he just couldn't distinguish any sort of landmark. But luckily, he has Koromon X to help keep him on the straight and narrow. Ain't life grand?

"Hey, Jaune, what do your friends look like?" Koromon X asked.

"Well, the friends who came with me: there's four of them. They're all girls, but they have characteristics that you can't miss. Ruby has black hair with red streaks in it and wears a red cloak with a hood, her older sister, Yang, has long blonde hair and violet eyes, Weiss has white hair in an offset ponytail and a scar on her left eye, and Blake has black hair, yellow eyes and also wears a bow in her hair." Jaune explained.

"Wow, from what you explained, they do sound hard to miss!" Koromon X admitted.

"Jaune? Is that you?"

Jaune and Koromon X turned around to see a girl with long black hair, yellow eyes and a bow in her hair walk out of the foliage.

"Blake! Are you okay?" Jaune asked.

"I'm fine, but I have this strange creature following me." Blake replied.

A small creature that was a paler pink than Koromon X walked out next to Blake, but unlike Koromon X, this one has four stumpy limbs that make it resemble a guinea pig. Also, it has two long wavy ears that cross to form an 'X' at the base.

"Hi there, I'm Tokomon X. Anybody hungry?"

Jaune started to flip out as he realized that another one of these things was here! He flailed around a bit and nearly dropped Koromon X. But he quickly regained his bearings as he realized they probably aren't in their home world anymore.

"What in the world are these guys?!" Jaune asked.

"I don't know, but I think the world we're in now is their home world. I don't know anything about Dust or a Semblance that can traverse worlds." Blake said.

"Yeah. Maybe Weiss knows something about that, I mean she's an expert on Dust." Jaune suggested.

"Jaune! Blake! You're both alive!"

"Ruby, slow down!"

"Yeah, we can't run as fast as you, dolt!"

"Girls, you too?!" Jaune asked.

Three girls ran into the clearing, each matching one of the descriptions that Jaune gave Koromon X. And like Jaune and Blake, all three of them have a strange little creature with them.

"Yeah, we're here too, Vomit boy." Yang said.

"No, I mean those things with you." Jaune clarified.

Yang looked to the creature held in her arms, now understanding what her friend meant. The one she was holding looked kinda like a little dragon with a long body like a snake, yellow skin with red markings, pointed ears, small limbs and lavender eyes.

Weiss has a little ball of purplish-grey fur with stumpy arms and legs, a big zigzagging mouth, black eyes with yellow irises, pointed ears like a fox, and a thick pointy tail. Also, his face has a patch of white fur on it.

Finally, Ruby has a little white puff ball that looks kinda like a marshmallow with eyes, a mouth and golden wings at first glance. But the little one also has an 'X' shaped scar on its forehead, just like Koromon X.

"Oh, these guys? Well…" trailed off Weiss.

She really wasn't sure how to respond. But she did know one thing. These creatures aren't Grimm.

"Hi there! You guys appear pleasant. Dorimon is my name, and I'm quite pleased to meet you." said the Fox looking one.

"And as for me, I'm Kyokyomon! And I'm gonna slither my way to your world! Eh? Eh? Eeehhh?" said the little rock dragon.

His pun made everyone else groan while Yang laughed herself silly at it. Quite ironic how the two of them seem to share the same sense of humor, eh?

"I'm sorry about my brother. He likes to make stupid puns every now and again. Most of the time it's just pranks and puerile practical jokes. I'm his brother, Puttimon X." said the little marshmallow in a squeaky male voice.

Koromon X looked up at Jaune and raised a nonexistent eyebrow at the boy.

"Why did she call you Vomit boy?" Koromon X asked.

"I get motion sickness, so I ended up throwing up on her shoes by accident. That's why she gave me that stupid nickname." Jaune replied.

"So, now that the gang's all here, does anyone have any idea where we are and how we got here?" Yang asked.

All she got was a bunch of negative shakes of the head from her friends.

"Sorry, Yang. But all I remember is that we were trying to stop Ironwood and his troops from throwing you in the slammer, then there was this bright flash of light and I don't remember anything after that!" Weiss said.

Well this is a real beard scratcher for our young heroes. What could a flash of light have to do with being transported to a new world full of strange creatures and no Grimm? It certainly raises quite a few questions. Blake's bow suddenly twitched as she looked towards a few bushes.

"What's wrong, Blake?" Ruby asked.

"I hear voices coming from over there." she replied.

"Blake's right. I can hear them too!" Tokomon X added.

Even though he didn't have a sword, Jaune swallowed his fear and picked up a big stick in case there were hostiles. He walked over to the bushes with everyone else close behind. When he parted the bushes, they saw something that both confused them and made them breathe sighs of relief.

A boy with messy brown hair, goggles and wearing a blue and yellow shirt, a pair of shorts, sneakers and gloves was lying on his back with another Koromon sitting on his chest. But this Koromon lacks the scar on his forehead.

"Tai? Yoo hoo, Tai?" Koromon called.

"Yeah, I'm okay." the now named Tai said as he woke up.

He opened his eyes to reveal that they were a rich brown color. But as soon as he saw the pink thing staring at him, Jaune ended up getting a sense of déjà vu.

He too screamed and backed up a few feet before standing up in fear of the creature.

"THAT IS THE LAST TIME I EAT CAMP FOOD!" Tai proclaimed.

Quite ironic that he said almost exactly what Jaune said earlier, isn't it? The other Koromon started bouncing up to Tai, obviously very excited about something.

"Hey, you don't need to be afraid, Tai. I'm your friend, I'm your friend, I'm your friend!" he said to the still freaked out boy.

"Uh, just what are you? Have you had your rabies shots?" Tai asked.

His question didn't seem to deter the little guy, as his smile never left his face… body…? Uh… whatever he has.

"Everything's gonna be alright now, Tai. I've been waiting for you."

Tai yelped as the little guy leapt into his hands.

"Waiting for me?!" Tai inquired.

"My name's Koromon, and we're partners!"

"Koromon. And that means… talking head?" Tai asked, having calmed down a bit.

Koromon seemed to merely nod before speaking again.

"Hm. It means brave little warrior. And don't forget it, Tai."

"So what do you mean by partners? And how did you know my name?" Tai asked.

"Excuse us, kid? Are you okay?" Jaune asked as he walked into the clearing.

Tai turned around to face Jaune and his friends, and was visibly relieved to see more humans than just him in the area.

"Well, aside from being totally freaked out, I'm fine." Tai replied before asking "Who are you guys?"

"I'm Jaune Arc. And these are my friends, Ruby Rose…"

"Hi!" chirped Ruby.

"Yang Xiao Long…"

"'Sup?" greeted Yang.

"Blake Belladonna…"

Blake just nodded in greeting.

"And Weiss Schnee."

"I'd shake hands, but yours appear to be full at the moment." quipped Weiss.

"Tai, is that you?"

Jaune's POV.

We all turned around to see a new kid show up. He looked like he was around the same age as Tai, but he had spiky auburn colored hair, black eyes, and pale skin. He also wears an orange button up shirt, and a pair of green cargo shorts.

"Izzy? You're here too?" Tai asked.

"That's right. And I have this pink thing following me." Izzy said.

That's when another creature walked… crawled…? Out from the bushes next to the child. It too had a pink body, only it had big brown eyes, and a pair of arms with three, brown, stumpy fingers at the ends. It spoke up in a squeaky male voice.

"It is me, Motimon, at your service. Anybody want lunch?"

Both me and Tai flailed our arms around as we freaked out again. In the process, we accidentally dropped Koromon and Koromon X. Though it didn't seem to hurt either of them as the bounced on the ground. But Tai was the one to ask about this.

"ANOTHER ONE?! What ARE they?!"

"Oh, allow me to introduce myself. My friends call me Motimon. Everyone does, actually."

"I believe that those remote digital gadgets have taken on an actual life form." Izzy hypothesized. "I don't remember anything like this in the camp brochure."

"Ya think? It's weird." Tai added.

I crouched down to get a better feel of our surroundings using my Aura. Something about this place was pretty unusual, and not in the natural way. I mean in the weird, we're going to die kind of way. ...What? I've gotten that feeling more times than I care to count due to fighting Grimm as long as I have.

"The vegetation seems lush, although the soil is quite common." I said, reporting my findings.

"Nothing is common in Digi-World." Motimon said.

"That's right, Jaune. You're in the Digi-World!" Koromon X added.

I scratched my head when Koromon X said that, but wasn't complaining since she gave us an idea of where we are. Although, Tai and Izzy still didn't seem all that convinced.

"And just where is the Digi-World?" Tai asked.

"Well, I don't care so much where it is. I want to know WHAT it is." Weiss said.

"I guess I'll just have to take a look for myself." Tai added.

Tai's POV.

I climbed up to the top of the tallest tree I could find and sat on a branch that looked strong enough to support my weight. The sudden appearance of Jaune and his friends does raise a few questions, but I'll save those for later. I've gotta figure out where we are, and find the others.

I reached into my pocket, and took out my mini telescope. I put it to my eye, and started looking for any landmarks that I might recognize. But what I saw really threw me for a loop.

"The ocean? What's that doing there? Our campsite isn't anywhere near the ocean. And I don't remember those mountains being there." I say to myself. "Hmmm, something tells me a compass isn't going to help much."

As I kept looking around, the little pink guy from earlier climbed up and sat on the branch next to me.

"Hey, Tai, what do ya see?" he asked.

"Nothing I recognize…" I say back when something catches my eye. "Huh? Wait, what's that?"

It looks like a giant red and green kuwagata beetle with four arms, two legs, and a massive pair of pincers flying through the sky. It looped around and started flying in mine and little guy's direction.

"Look at that! It's some kind of giant, red beetle. And it's flying right at us!"

I took my telescope off of my eye and saw that the beetle was a lot closer than I thought. The little guy and I ducked down on our respective branches just in time for the top half of the tree to get sliced off by a pincer. The others down on the ground were sent into a major panic from the initial attack.

I CAN'T WATCH! THAT IS ONE SERIOUSLY BAD DIGIMON, EVEN WHEN HE'S IN A GOOD MOOD!" I heard Motimon say from the ground.

"Motimon's right! That bug ain't nothin' to sneeze at!" added Kyokyomon.

"That's just great." Izzy complained.

The beetle circled around again, fully intent on killing us! I managed to right myself back on the branch, just as the little guy started explaining who this guy is.

"WATCH OUT! His name is Kuwagamon. He's an insectoid Digimon, vicious and ruthless! With teeth like knives and scissor hands that can chop through anything!" Little Guy explained.

"Who needs a gardener?" I asked rhetorically.

I was panicking a lot as Kuwagamon closed in on us, but the little guy did something totally crazy. He jumped off his branch, took a deep breath, and shot pink bubbles from his mouth. They hit Kuwagamon, but they didn't do much. The little guy took a glancing blow, but he at least veered off course just enough to hit the tree while knocking me down from my branch.

I expected to hit the ground, but was surprised to be caught by one of those women. What was her name? Blake? She set me down on my feet, and started checking me for injuries.

"Tai, are you okay?" Izzy asked in concern.

"Well, I have had better days, but I'm okay. Blake kept me from taking a pretty bad fall."

I couldn't say much of anything else as the little guy from before landed hard on the ground. We all gasped in shock and slight fear for his safety.

"Little guy!" I called moving to pick him up. "You should pick on bugs your own size. What's your name? Koromon?"

"That's me." He replied.

I smiled at him, touched by his act of kindness.

"You're pretty brave, for a little guy. I'm impressed."

Koromon smiled at me from the compliment I gave him.

"It was nothing." Koromon replied.

Regular POV.

"Uh, guys? He's coming right at us again!" Izzy warned.

"Oh dear, oh dear! Quickly, everyone! This way!" Motimon said as he hopped off.

Our group of fourteen, counting their Digimon, wasted no time in following him but Kuwagamon was still right on our tails. His menacing roars echoed through the forest as he kept chasing after his chosen prey. His massive pincers chopped the tops off of many unfortunate trees that just so happened to be in his way.

"Hurry up! For having two long legs, you people are awfully slow!" Motimon complained. "Hurry, inside this tree!"

Motimon jumped at a tree, and seemed to faze right into it. The humans were startled by this at first, but Tai and Jaune quickly got over it as the young boy grabbed Izzy's arm and dragged him into the tree. Jaune and the others jumped in right after them, and were amazed by what they saw.

While the outside of the tree looked the same as any other tree, but the inside of it looked like slabs of metal that had been welded together. It was both incredible, and very confusing.

"What kind of tree is this?" Izzy asked.

"It's a hiding tree, silly." Motimon replied.

"Hiding tree. Why am I not surprised?" Blake asked with a blank look.

"Your guess is as good as mine, sister." Tokomon X added.

Everyone heard more of Kuwagamon's roars from outside the tree, and hunkered down. They figured that if they stayed quiet long enough, he'd give up the hunt and go away. Or at least choose to go after a different prey item.

It seemed to work. Kuwagamon's roars began to grow fainter as he left the area. He was obviously pissed off that he'd missed his target, but went off in search of new prey.

"I think he's gone." Ruby said to the others.

"All clear! You all can come out now." Says a new voice that clearly belonged to a girl.

Our heroes and heroines walked out of the tree to see a girl who looked about Tai's age. She had tan skin, brown eyes, and reddish orange hair. She was wearing a strange looking blue hat, a yellow tank top, a pair of skinny jeans, sneakers, and a pair of red gloves.

"Sora!" Tai said, relieved to see a friend. "We were just setting up a trap for that big bug."

That's when we noticed another one of those odd creatures by Sora's feet. It was also pink, but it was a few shades darker than Koromon, Koromon X, Tokomon X or Motimon. It had blue leaves and a red stem on its head, green eyes, and a slight beak.

"I am enchanted to meet you, friends of Sora. Welcome." it greeted in a female voice.

"Tai, Izzy, ladies and gentleman, meet Yokomon - my own personal something or other." Sora introduced.

"Looks kinda like a radish." Tai said.

"Nice observation, Tai." Yang said rhetorically.

"Must be another one of them. Whatever they are." Izzy said.

Everyone looked back towards Koromon X and the others, wondering what they are. That's when Weisd felt a major migraine coming on. ANOTHER one of them showed up! This one was another Tokomon, only this one lacks the crisscrossing ears of Tokomon X.

"They're popping up everywhere!" Izzy said.

"I know!" Weiss complained.

"Hello, I am Tokomon." It introduced in a male voice before turning to the trees. "Hey, TK, over here!"

"Coming!" replied the voice of a small child.

"Tokomon, there you are!"

"TK!" called an older voice.

Two new boys came running out from the trees. One of them was obviously the youngest in the group, looking to be about six or seven years old. He had light skin, short, blonde hair, and blue eyes. He wears a green vest over a light green shirt with long sleeves, khaki shorts, yellow socks, green and white strapped tennis shoes, and an odd green hat with a blue gem stone.

The older boy looked like he was around Tai and Sora's age. He has spiky blonde hair, light skin, and blue eyes. He wears a sleeveless green shirt, brown gloves, blue jeans, and dark brown shoes with gray soles. Held under his arm was a small creature that looked like an earless, orange furred ape head with red eyes, and a big, black horn sticking out of the top of his head… Body…? Oh, forget it!

"Hey, Matt, you too?" Tai asked.

"Yeah, I'm here too." the older blonde answered.

"No, he means that creature under your arm." Jaune elaborated.

Matt looked at the little guy.

"Oh, t-this guy? Well, uh…"

"Hello. You appear pleasant." the little guy said. "Tsunomon is my name, and I am quite pleased to meet you."

While TK and Tokomon were cuddling like the children they were, Jaune was busy trying to make sense of what was going on. Being the best strategist between teams RWBY and JNPR meant he needed to stay at the top of his game if they were to come out alive. But Jaune couldn't think straight, because a screaming, blue haired, glasses wearing boy was running right towards the group. And Tai seemed to know who this is.

"Joe?"

Now that Jaune got a closer look, he could see yet another creature was floating along right behind Joe. It resembled a blue eyed, grey skinned plesiosaur hatchling with only the front flippers, a shorter neck, and a strange, orange hair on its head.

"Help me! This thing…! This thing…! It won't leave me alone!" Joe cried, stopping in front of us.

"Hey, who you calling a thing?" the creature asked as he perched on Joe's shoulder. "I'm no stuffed animal. The name is Bukamon."

Joe started freaking out again after Bukamon introduced himself and looked helplessly at our gathered group. And obviously, he was oblivious as to how they could be so calm, given the situation.

"What's wrong with you guys?! Can't you see this creature hanging off of me?" Joe asked.

He looked down, and noticed the others by our feet. No one was really surprised by the child's freak out.

"They're everywhere! What are they?!" Joe demanded to know.

Bukamon floated down to join his friends, as he started them off.

"We're -"

"- Digimon! Digital Monsters!" They exclaimed all at once.

Now this REALLY shocked everyone. Jaune and his entourage knew that they definitely weren't in Remnant anymore, but this was just plain ridiculous!

"Digital MONSTERS?" Tai asked.

"Yes, Digimon!" They replied back.

"We're not just Digital Monsters; we're much more than that. We're kinda cute." Koromon said.

"And very loyal." Tsunomon added.

"With beautiful hair." Yokomon continued.

"Or maybe no hair at all." Motimon elaborated.

"We can be funny." Bukamon added with a laugh.

"And adorable." Tokomon said.

"And we can also be some of the most courageous." Dorimon added.

"Or even the greatest of comedians!" Kyokyomon said.

"Some of us value friendship over anything else." Puttimon X added.

"We can be lovable!" Tokomon X said.

"And majorly quick witted!" Koromon X finished.

"It's a pleasure to meet each of you. My name's Tai, and these are my friends from camp. I'd like you to meet Sora."

"Nice place you got here. Except the bugs." Sora said.

"The self-proclaimed cool one over there is Matt." Tai continued.

"No autographs, please." Matt said.

"And this is Joe."

"I'd shake hands, if you had any." Joe said.

"Izzy here is our computer expert."

"Do you have internet access?" Izzy asked.

"And last, but not least, this little guy is, uh…"

"TK. Call me TK. And I'm not as small as I look."

Jaune stepped forward and began his own introduction.

"Some of you here know us already, but we'll reintroduce ourselves. My name's Jaune Arc, and these are my friends from Beacon Academy. The girl with the bow in her hair is Blake."

"Do you happen to have any libraries or bookstores?" Blake asked.

"Our blonde brawler here is Yang Xiao Long."

"Yup! I'mma just stand here and keep being awesome!" Yang proclaimed.

"Ruby here is Yang's little sister and our resident weapons expert."

"If we could find a forge around here, I could make us all some pretty good temporary weapons to protect ourselves." Ruby said whilst pondering their situation.

"And finally, we have Weiss Schnee. She's the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company."

"Charmed to meet you all!" Weiss said.

"There now, is that everybody?" Tai asked.

"What happened to that girl with the funny pink hat?" Sora asked.

"Now now, her name is Mimi." Tai chided.

"Perhaps she's picking flowers, or on a nature hike." Izzy suggested.

Izzy was interrupted by a blood curdling scream piercing the air. Which was far more painful for Blake, due to her ultra sensitive hearing.

"AAAHHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

"Come on!" Tai said.

"We're right behind you!" Ruby followed up.

They all ran towards where they heard the scream, knowing that we probably didn't have much time. Ruby decided against using her speed Semblance, knowing that everyone else would have trouble keeping up otherwise.

"Ok, so she's not picking flowers." Izzy admitted.

"Mimi, where are you?" Tai called out.

Eventually, we saw a girl - who they assumed was Mimi - running for her life with a plant like creature.

Mimi is a girl with light skin, long wavy light brown hair and brown eyes. She mostly wears her hair tied back in a high ponytail with a yellow hair band, with long strands framing her face. She wears a western-style red dress with a buttoned turtleneck, a dark brown belt with a golden buckle, light brown gloves with brown straps around the wrists, pink socks, and brown and white shoes. She also wears a large pink cowgirl hat with a white drawstring.

"Mimi, it's okay!" Tai said, trying to calm her down.

But Jaune and the girls could sense that there was something chasing the child. Something very big, very familiar, and VERY hungry. And it did not take them very long to figure out what it was.

"That isn't what she's running from. Stay here, kids!" Yang ordered as she ran towards the girl.

"Yang, wait!" Tai called.

That's when he and the others saw what our heroes from Remnant had sensed. It was none other than Kuwagamon who was chasing the young girl!

"It's that big bug again!" Tai said in horror.

"HIT THE DIRT!" Yang yelled as her eyes turned red.

Fortunately, Mimi did what Yang said and dived to the ground. Calling on her immense strength, Yang leapt up and threw a wicked right hook at Kuwagamon, hitting him square in the face! But he proved to be far more durable than she thought, as he was only pushed back a few feet from her punch. But she didn't let that deter her!

"Why don't you pick on someone your own species, ya overgrown piece of frog food!" Yang yelled.

Kuwagamon roared in anger, but he flew off anyway. Although, Yang and the others highly doubted that they've seen the last of him.

"Mimi, are you alright?" the plant asked in a feminine voice, proving that she's a female.

"I think so." Mimi breathed.

"Don't worry, Tanemon is here to protect you!"

Sora and Jaune walked up to Mimi, and tried to calm her down. Jaune was well versed in field medicine so he started searching for injuries, knowing that Mimi might have gotten hurt running from that oversized beetle.

"It's okay now." Sora said.

"Oh, Sora."

Jaune stopped his examination as soon as Mimi was calmer.

"Good, you're not hurt. You are one very lucky girl." Jaune said to Mimi.

"Thank you mister…"

"Jaune Arc. Just call me Jaune."

"WATCH OUT, HERE HE COMES AGAIN!" Tai informed.

And he was right. Kuwagamon apparently was very determined to get his prey. And they knew that meant them!

"RUN!" Sora shouted.

Everyone began to run for their lives as the giant, predatory beetle flew after them. Jaune and the girls were mentally cursing themselves for losing their weapons, but knew it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. Kuwagamon's exoskeleton was just way too strong!

"GET DOWN!" Matt called as he pushed TK to the ground.

Everyone else followed, allowing Kuwagamon to fly over them while cutting more trees in the process.

"Will this nightmare never end!?" Joe asked, cringing as a tree fell near him. "My mom is gonna want a complete and total refund!"

"Now is hardly the time to file a lawsuit!" Jaune quipped.

"Here he comes again!" Yokomon warned.

"Ok, that does it, no more running away!" Tai exclaimed.

"I agree with Tai. That bug has attacked us for the last time!" Jaune added, punching his palm in agreement.

"What else can we do?" Sora asked.

"She's right, there's no way we can fight that thing." Matt said.

"And not win anyway." Izzy added.

Reluctantly, they began running again as they tried to find a way to evade Kuwagamon's continued assault. But their run for survival came to an abrupt end when they stopped at a cliff.

"Great, anyone bring a helicopter?" Matt asked rhetorically.

Tai and Jaune began to approach the edge, hoping to find a way down. Perhaps there were some vines growing on the side of the cliff that could be used as a makeshift rope ladder.

"Be careful, Tai. And you too, Jaune." Sora warned.

"There's no way down." Tai reported.

"He's right. We have find another way!" Jaune added.

"Another way WHERE?" Sora asked.

Before anyone could say anything, Kuwagamon burst through the underbrush! He roared as he once again missed our young heroes, and Jaune immediately started dragging Tai to the others. And a good thing, too. Because Kuwagamon is circling back again!

"WATCH OUT, GUYS!" Sora shouted.

Jaune may have been too busy dragging Tai to safety, but he still noticed that Koromon and Koromon X were bouncing to the rescue.

"Here I go!" Koromon said.

"Don't forget me!" Koromon X added.

They inhaled, and blew more pink bubbles at Kuwagamon. Unfortunately, like the last time, these bubbles had no effect.

"Oh no, not again!" Tai exclaimed.

Jaune could only watch in horror Koromon and Koromon X were knocked out of the air by Kuwagamon.

"DIGIMON, ATTACK!" Yokomon yelled, as each and every one of the digimon blew bubbles at Kuwagamon.

However, they were all knocked away by Kuwagamon. But this time, the attack was not in vain. Kuwagamon flew off course, and crashed into a cluster of trees. The group heard a low growling sound which they chalked up to being how Kuwagamon groans in pain.

"Yokomon!" Sora exclaimed.

All of the digimon were injured. The wounds themselves weren't fatal, but it hurt like heck.

"Koromon, are you crazy? Why'd you do it?" Tai asked.

"Sorry. It's just; I'm trying to make a good impression." Koromon said.

"Crazy guy." Tai said.

Every member of this group rushed over to their digimon partners, worry written clearly on their faces.

"Yokomon." Sora said.

"Tanemon, talk to me." Mimi begged.

"They must be programmed for courage." Izzy theorized as he picked Motimon up.

"Tokomon, what's wrong?" TK asked.

"Hey, Tsunomon, wake up." Matt said.

"Bukamon, wake up." Joe said.

"Koromon X, talk to me, are you alright?" Jaune asked.

He couldn't live with himself if he allowed another of his friends to get hurt when he could have done something to prevent it. Though he was slightly relieved to see that Koromon X was the least injured out of all of them.

"I'm fine. We X-Antibody types are made of sterner stuff." Koromon X replied.

"Puttimon X! Whatever you do, please don't go into the light!" Ruby begged.

"Kyokyomon… Why'd you do it?!" demanded an almost sobbing Yang.

"Sorry, Yang… but I'm not gonna let one of my friends get hurt on my watch…!" Kyokyomon declared.

"Dorimon…" whispered Weiss.

"Pull yourself together, Tokomon X! You've got to wake up!" Blake cried desperately.

Suddenly, they heard Joe cry out in worry. Everyone looked over to see Kuwagamon stomping his way out of the trees.

"Sweet Monty Oum above, Kuwagamon is PISSED!" Jaune thought to myself.

"Get back!" Matt exclaimed.

Everyone ran towards the edge of the cliff with their Digimon clutched in their arms. Kuwagamon continued to roar in anger and hunger as he snapped his pincers at them. The situation seems quite hopeless now, doesn't it?

"I was hoping we'd seen the last of him." Sora said.

"Me too. I guess he had other plans, huh?" Tai said in agreement.

"I knew I should've brought my bug spray." Matt complained.

"Everybody get ready to run!" Ruby ordered.

Kuwagamon once again roared and snapped his pincers at our heroes and heroines. Well, if our team from Remnant is going to die, at least they'll have prevented these kids from being claimed by the cold clutches of death. But that's when Koromon said something that stunned them all.

"No, we fight!"

"Huh?" Tai said.

"That's right, it's the only way. Stand and fight." Koromon said.

"Give it up, will ya?" Tai said.

"No, Koromon's right, it's time to show what we're made of." Motimon said.

"No don't!" Izzy pleaded.

"They're right!" Yokomon said.

"No way! It's hopeless; you're no match for him, Yokomon!" Sora said.

"Let me go, Let me go, Let me go, Let me go!" Tsunomon exclaimed, struggling to get out of Matt's grip.

"Yes! We can do it, We can do it, We can do it, We can do it, We can do it, We can do it!" Tokomon said, trying to get out of TK's grip.

"Let me go, Let me go, Let me go!" Bukamon exclaimed, flapping his arms to get out of Joe's arms.

"Tanemon, you too?" Mimi asked. Tanemon nodded her head.

Jaune looked at Koromon X, and saw that he too wanted to fight. He looked at him… and Jaune could see a bit of himself in the little one. He wanted to protect everyone, however he can. He smiled and set him down.

"Go on, Koromon X. You can do it!" Jaune encouraged.

"You're not gonna try to stop me?" Koromon X asked.

Jaune shook his head.

"No way. And do you know why?" Jaune asked. Not waiting for a response, he continued. "Because I know that deep within, you have the power to take down Kuwagamon and save your friends! But you won't be alone! You've got all of us on your side!"

Jaune reached down and grabbed a big stick to use as a makeshift sword.

"Now, come on. Let's show that oversized maggot who is really at the top of the food chain!"

Koromon X smiled and nodded.

"Yang, you're probably going to be mad about this, but I'm going out there too!" Kyokyomon declared.

"What are you, crazy?!" Yang asked incredulously.

"He's right! Our only option left is to stand and fight!" Dorimon added.

"Yeah, what he said!" Puttimon X declared.

"Don't think I'm letting you guys have all the fun!" Tokomon X said as he wriggled his way out of Blake's arms.

"I'm sorry Tai." Koromon said, before flying out of Tai's arms.

The other Digimon quickly followed suit.

"Come on, Digimon!" Koromon said, leading the charge.

As all of the Digimon charged in to attack Kuwagamon with Jaune by their side, they all heard their partners begging for them to retreat.

"It's useless! Yokomon!" Sora exclaimed.

"Don't do it, Motimon!" Izzy shouted.

"No wait! Don't do it, Tsunomon!" Matt called out.

"Don't go!" TK cried.

"Turn around! Come back, Bukamon!" Joe shouted out worriedly.

"Tanemon! Be careful!" Mimi said.

"Puttimon X! You can't go!" Ruby cried.

"Kyokyomon, please come back!" Yang begged.

"Dorimon… You'd better come back alive, you little dolt!" Weiss threatened with tears in her eyes.

Blake's lower lip quivered as she tried not to cry. She knew that Jaune would be okay with Koromon X by his side, but the thought of losing Tokomon X just made her heart hurt. Even though she's only just met the little guy, she's gotten quite attached to him. So she did the only thing she could do at that time…

"YOU CAN DO IT, TOKOMON X!" cheered Blake.

"No! Don't Koromon, come back!" Tai called as he attempted to run after Koromon.

Suddenly, there was a mysterious glow coming from Tai and the others. Our heroes from Remnant looked over to see that there were seven devices of similar design clipped to their bodies.

A similar glow manifiested in front of Jaune and the others as they each grabbed a ball of light. The light died down to reveal five more devices of the same design as the children's. And the screens on them were glowing with a rainbow light! Then, a dark cloud appeared above the digimon, and twelve rainbow colored lights beams descended over them and caused them to change shape.

"KOROMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… AGUMON!"

Agumon is a short and stout Tyrannosaurus rex-like Digimon standing about 3 feet tall, and has amber orange skin and light green eyes. He also has flattened forearms with broad, three-clawed hands, and his legs and arms are shown to be very vascular. His tail is stubby, and his head and snout are almost as large as the rest of his body.

"KOROMON X DIGIVOLVE TO… AGUMON X!"

Agumon X looks almost the same as Agumon, only he has these blue stripes all over his body in a similar fashion to a tiger.

"TOKOMON X DIGIVOLVE TO… MONODRAMON!"

Monodramon is a small purple dragon-like Digimon that is bipedal in body structure. He has red and yellow markings on his body, small wings on his arms, and three drill shaped claws on each hand.

"YOKOMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… BIYOMON!"

Biyomon is a pink bird with arm-like wings, a feather mane, a red beak, blue eyes, blue stripes on her crest, blue borders on two of her head feathers and her tail feathers, yellow legs, and red claws on her wings and feet. She wears a metallic ring on her left leg.

"MOTIMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… TENTOMON!"

Tentomon resembles an enormous ladybug. He has six legs in total, with the front pair used as arms with grey talons at the end. He has large, green eyes and two yellow antennae reaching out from his head. His wing-case is covered with grey spines. His mouth doesn't move when he speaks, but does when he eats.

"TSUNOMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… GABUMON!"

Gabumon is a maroon-eyed yellow-skinned lizard in a bluish-white pelt with navy blue markings. A yellow horn protrudes at the top of his head and his belly is blue with unusual pink markings.

"DORIMON DIGIVOLVE TO… GABUMON X!"

Gabumon X for all intents and purposes looks exactly like Gabumon. However, he has one arm exposed from the fur pelt he's wearing, floppier ears like a dog, and the claws on his pelt, namely his left arm, are longer and sharper. He also has a bushier tail like a beast and is more feral in his appearance.

"TOKOMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… PATAMON!"

Patamon is a small flying guinea pig-like creature with light blue eyes and bat-like wings, which could possibly be his ears. He has a short, stubby tail. His underside is a light cream color, while his back and head are orange.

"BUKAMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… GOMAMON!"

Gomamon is a white, furry seal with no nose and long ears, purple markings, an orange-red mane, large claws, a short tail, and a W-shaped smile with two pointed teeth popping out.

"TANEMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… PALMON!"

Palmon is a plant-like creature which has light green skin with purple-tipped claws. She has a pink flower with a yellow center on her head. She has a small tail and small bumps lining her back.

"KYOKYOMON DIGIVOLVE TO… RYUDAMON!"

Ryudamon is a tricky Digimon to describe. He looks like a furry yellow dragon that wears black samurai armor. He stands on two feet with two small arms that have sharp claws at the end, and despite the heavy and durable appearance of his armor, he doesn't look the least bit slow.

"PUTTIMON X DIGIVOLVE TO… SALAMON X!"

Salamon X is a small Digimon that looks like a pure white puppy dog. He has long, floppy ears, no toes on his paws, and he wears a huge golden ring around his neck like a collar.

The light soon died down to reveal our heroes' Digimon allies in their new forms. They were all astounded by what they were seeing, and I think that even Kuwagamon was surprised.

"Look at them! What happened to the little guys?!" Sora asked.

"They're… bigger." Tai replied.

"That's putting it lightly, Tai." Blake quipped.

With a battle cry, the Digimon charged at Kuwagamon and rammed him at full force. But they were easily swatted away by the larger beetle Digimon. They landed hard on the ground, but just got right back up.

"Alright, you asked for it!" Agumon growled.

In response to this, Kuwagamon started flapping his wings again and tried to take flight. But our heroes' Digimon friends weren't about to let that happen.

"Poison Ivy!" Palmon chanted.

She extended her fingers like vines, and easily grappled Kuwagamon in order to prevent him from escaping. Patamon flew up, and readied an attack of his own.

"Boom Bubble!"

Patamon inflated his body, and shot a bubble of compressed power at the giant beetle. It hit its mark, doing damage with concussive energy. Tentomon buzzed up and shot off an attack of his own.

"Super Shocker!"

Our group of protagonists was astounded by the fact that Tentomon shot a blast of electricity from his antennae. It hit home and sent Kuwagamon to the ground just in time to get tripped up by Gomamon and Ryudamon. Agumon X and Agumon, along with Gabumon, Gabumon X, Monodramon and Biyomon were ready to hit him as well.

"Stand back, everyone!" Agumon warned. "Pepper Breath!" he and Agumon X intoned as they shot fireballs at Kuwagamon.

Both attacks hit their target just as Gabumon and the others followed up with their own attacks.

"Blue Blaster!"

Gabumon and Gabumon X opened their mouths, and shot a pair of concentrated streams of blue fire at their foe.

"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon shot a spiral of green fire at Kuwagamon.

"Air Blast!" intoned Monodramon as he shot a compressed blast of air from his mouth.

All of the attacks were spot on, and caused Kuwagamon's head to catch fire. Kuwagamon roared in pain, then reared his head back and roared some more in order to douse the flames.

"Now, all together!" Agumon X ordered.

All of them shot their attacks at Kuwagamon, and they all hit him in the chest. This caused his body to ignite with a massive amount of flame. But that wasn't the end of it.

"Puppy Paw!"

Salamon X ran up to Kuwagamon, jumped up and landed a solid punch right in the overgrown bug's kisser! The giant bug roared in pain one last time before falling back into the trees and groaning in defeat.

Our heroes stood there in shock, barely able to process what had happened. It was just amazing!

"They made vaporware out of him!" Izzy said in awe.

"Told you we could do it!" Agumon laughed, as all of the digimon ran to their tamers.

Tai just broke out into a huge grin and ran over to hug his Digimon partner..

"Koromon, or Agumon or whoever you are you did it! You did it! You did it!" Tai cheered.

Everyone smiled and laughed as they celebrated with their Digimon. Even Weiss was laughing and hugging Gabumon X as they celebrated their victory.

"How about that Super Shocker? Pretty wizard huh?" Tentomon asked Izzy.

"So how'd I do, boss?" Agumon X asked..

"You were amazing out there, buddy!" Jaune replied. "And… boss?"

"Yeah, you're the boss!" Agumon X said.

"OH, MONODRAMON! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE NOT HURT!" wailed Blake as she engulfed her Digimon in a bone crushing hug.

"Yes... I know… But you don't have to choke me to prove it!" Monodramon wheezed out.

Ruby was just laughing as Salamon X assaulted her with a barrage of doggy kisses to the face. Something Ruby was happy to pay back by scratching him behind the ear.

"That was awesome the way you guys beat Kuwagamon!" Yang praised.

"Yep! You could say Kuwagamon really got burned on that deal!" Ryudamon quipped with a pun.

This time, however, everyone was laughing at that well executed pun. But the celebration was not to last. Like a bean burrito returning to ruin your day, Kuwagamon burst through the trees once more. And boy did he seem pissed off!

"Watch out!" Sora shouted.

Tai and Agumon ran out of the way just in time to avoid Kuwagamon as he jammed his pincers into the cliffside. The result was cracks forming in the area where his pincers were stuck.

"Guess we celebrated too soon." Jaune said.

Thanks to Kuwagamon, the cliff started to give way, making everyone all fall into the river. they screamed as they thought that this may very well be the end of them all.

Looks like things have gone from bad to worse as our heroes and heroines plummet to their doom! Will they survive? How did they get there? Is this perhaps another one of Ozpin's hairbrained schemes? Find out on the next chapter of Digital Huntsmen of the X-Antibody!
