I do not own Digimon.

Chapter One:

In the beginning, everything was peaceful. The birds sang happily, the animals played without fear of being hunted. The sky's were blue, the leaves were green, and the flowers were blooming brightly.

The sun was warm and the snow was cold... Wait, what?

Lucy Suzumebachi awoke from her nap with a start. She'd laid down on the porch of her cabin late in the morning, when the sun was shining. When she woke up, or to be more accurate, what woke her up was the snow that was coming down in a right blizzard. Lucy was quickly pulled inside by an older boy named Joe before she got covered in too much snow.

"What's going on?" Lucy asked once all eight of them were gathered together in a cabin.

"A blizzard just showed up out of nowhere," Joe said, looking out the slats on the sliding door.

"That's weird." The storm lasted for a good forty minutes, and blew in nearly six inches of snow. Once it was done, Tai slid the door open, and made his way outside.

"Looks like the canoe races are canceled, so lets have toboggan races instead!" A grin was on his face.

"I'm gonna build the biggest snowman ever," another stepped out after him, and the rest of the children followed suit.

Out and about, the other kids that came to this summer camp were playing in the sudden snowfall. The few exceptions were Lucy, a brainy kid she thought was named Izzy who was messing with his computer, and Joe who was afraid of getting pneumonia.

Before long however, before the first snowball could even be tossed, the sky was filled with a wondrous sea of undulating color.

"Wow, it's so pretty," the youngest kid, TK, said.

"It looks like an aurora," said Sora.

"The Aurora Borealis? That's impossible," Izzy dismissed the girl, Sora's, claim, "We're too far south for that."

"Tell that to the snow," Sora returned.

"Whatever it is, it's so beautiful, magical," said the auburn haired Mimi.

Whatever anyone was going to say next was cut off when a swirling vortex opened up in the sky, barely visible.

Lucy suddenly felt a stirring, deep in her chest, a feeling of... she didn't know what. Just that it felt warm. When eight beams of light suddenly shot out of the vortex, making B-lines for the eight kids, the feeling only grew more intense.

Instead of hitting them, the light's curved to hit the ground just in front of them.

Curious, Lucy leaned over to look at what the little thing was. The light kept up for a moment, obscuring her vision of whatever it was, but that eventually subsided, and something was floating in the air in front of her. When she reached out to grab it, her green eyes fixated on it, the feeling in her chest pulsed.

Holding it in her hand, a smile spread across her face.

"Wow, what is it, Matt?" TK asked his older brother.

Matt, like TK, had blonde hair and blue eyes. He shook his head as he held up his own little beeper, "I don't know, TK."

"My guess is a miniature, remote digital apparatus," Izzy remarked as he held the one that landed in front of him.

"It's... something good," Lucy said, smiling at the one she held, getting a few looked from the other kids.

"No instructions?" Joe asked as the screens of each of the little things lit up, a high pitched noise began coming out of them, and the sound of rushing water filled the air.

"Forget the instructions!" Tai said, seeing water bubble up from beyond the hill side, "Surf's up!"

The water exploded skyward, as the kids all jumped away from it, then it began to split open. Oddly enough, they began to be sucked in. Despite their best efforts, gravity lost it's hold on them in the face of this strange portal.

Matt was trying desperately to reach T.K., Joe was clutching the emergency supply bag he had to his chest, Izzy was clinging onto his computer for dear life, and Mimi was keeping a tight hold on her hat. Tai seemed to be trying to swim back through the air towards the quickly vanishing camp grounds, while Sora had curled up to brace for their inevitable landing.

Lucy was perhaps the most calm. Like the others, she screamed in fear, but something inside, that warm feeling from before, told her that they would be okay. Didn't mean that it wasn't scary though.

The water closed behind them, but they didn't have to hold their breath. The water seemed to not even be there for all that they could feel it, and it soon began to transform into a realm of shifting colors and pulsing light. There was no gravity and nothing to suggest up from down. The swirling colors and flashing lights began to send the children, one by one, into a trance like sleep.

Lucy saw this and tried to close her eyes. The weird place reacted to that and began to emit a white noise sound that began to lull her into sleep. Fighting against it, the last one still awake to do so, Lucy opened her eyes again. The colors were still swirling and the lights were still flashing, but she could finally see something else.

It was a creeping mote of black. It was growing rapidly, clawing at the bright lights, trying to reach the children. The warmth in her chest was replaced by a cold fear, the closer that blackness got to her.

She began to hear a hissing, growling noise. It sounded like a hungry snake, and it only got louder as the black tendrils were nearly there.

You will not succeed, child! It hissed, clawed black hands reaching out for her face, You will be devoured!

Lucy screamed.

"Lucy, Lucy!" something was calling her name as it pulled on her red, sleeveless hoodie. She fought back, believing the blackness had caught her. She heard an exclamation of pain, before another voice tried to reason with her.

"Lucy! Wake up!" it was small, and it sounded worried for her. She felt a weight on her chest and the freezing bite of fear began to drain away to be replaced by the warmth again. It was different though, fuller, like a part that was missing had finally been snapped into place. It felt right.

Slowly opening one emerald eye, the pink haired girl found herself looking into a large blue eye. It blinked at her before it pulled away, showing that it belonged to a chocolate colored creature with long, thin ears and a big horn on it's forehead.

Any other day, she might have screamed and punted the little thing away, but this was not any other day. After that vision of blackness, she was willing to hold onto anything that could bring more of that warm feeling. And this little thing that looked like a head without a body was making her feel it more than anything else.

"Are you okay, Lucy?" A familiar blonde haired boy asked, though he was rubbing his shin. She realized she probably kicked Matt when she was thought she was still in the blackness.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for hitting you," she apologized meekly as she sat up. The little thing that had been resting on her stomach sank into her lap.

"What were you dreaming about?" he asked.

From beside him another little creature, this one also with a horn on it's head, nodded, "Yeah, you were screaming quite loudly. We thought you were in danger."

Lucy thought back, but already it was slipping away, all except for that black hand, reaching out for her, "I don't know. I think something was reaching for me. It... it was scary."

"I had a nightmare about spiders, and that really scared me, but Matt was there to help me," TK, standing on the other side of Matt and holding a pink little pig thing in his arms, said.

The pink haired girl smiled a little at that. Sometimes she wished she had a big brother. Instead of dwelling on that she focused her attention on the little creature in her lap.

"Wha-" She cut herself off for a moment before going on, "Who are you?"

The blue eyed critter smiled, showing sharp teeth, "I'm Urimon!" It chirped happily, "I'm so glad to finally meet you, Lucy! I've been waiting for so long!"

"Uri... mon?" She tilted her head to one side, trying to figure out what that even meant. As she did so, she looked around the area she'd just woken up in. It was a total jungle! But something was... off too. Not something bad, just... different. It took her a moment to realize that all the colors were strange. Leaves on the tropic trees were blues and yellows and pinks. It was quite beautiful really.

"Yeah, weird, right?" Matt said.

Before Lucy could reply to that, they hear Tai's voice as he shouted in fear and the roars of what sounded like a dinosaur. TK, Matt, Lucy, Tsunomon, Tokomon, and Urimon looked at each other then raced off in that direction to help Tai if he needed it.

Not long after the roars and screams stopped Tokomon began to sniff at the air, before it jumped out of TK's arms and began running through the underbrush, "Hey, wait up Tokomon!" The little boy wearing various shades of green chased after him, smiling.

Having held on to Urimon to kept a grasp on that warmth, made sure to keep a good grip on the little thing as they ran.

Off in the distance they heard voices talking then they heard Tokomon's voice, "Over here, TK."

"Coming," the boy said, running after the little pig thing, prompting Matt to run after him, Lucy not far behind, "Tokomon, there you are!"

"TK!" Matt scolded lightly, holding Tsunomon under one arm.

"You guys shouldn't just run off like that," Lucy said as she came out from behind matt.

"Lucy, Matt! You too?" Tai said, disbelief clear in his voice as he took in the sight of the little creatures in their arms.

"Yeah, we're here too," the blonde said, not catching what Tai meant.

"No," Tai huffed, "I meant those things you're holding."

"Oh, this guy?" Matt turned his eyes down to the little thing he was holding, "Yeah, well..." he trailed off not sure how to explain how he came to be holding a weird little talking head.

"Hello, you appear pleasant," the one Matt was holding said cordially, "Tsunomon is my name, and I am quite pleased to meet you."

"Hey, wow! Humans can get really tall!" Urimon said, her ears twitching and curling in wonder, "I'm Urimon! I want to be that tall someday too!" Lucy smiled at that as she finally let go of Urimon so she could go inspect the other humans.

At the same time, TK was rubbing his face against Tokomon, the two of them giggling at the sensation. Sora, Izzy, and Tai appeared a little wary about the whole thing.

Then everyone heard a scream and saw Joe come running out of the brush.

"Joe?" Tai questioned, wondering if the big beetle had come back.

"Help me!" he cried out, running up to them, "This thing..." he puffed as he came to a stop, "This thing, it wont leave me alone!"

"Hey, who are you calling a thing?" a gray little critter came up from behind Joe and held onto his shoulder. It had an orange tuft of hair and a happy look on its face, just like all the others, "The name is Bukamon." This only got Joe to freak out even more, and Bukamon to laugh.

"Wha?" he looked at Bukamon nervously, then at the other kids were calm, if confused, "Wha? What's wrong with you guys? Don't you see this creature hanging off me? And those creatures standing right there?" Then, realizing what was all standing before him, he leaned back, stiff with fear, "Th-they're everywhere! What are they?"

Bukamon just grinned and flew over to the other critters on the forest floor, "We're," it began, drawing out the word till it landed, then everyone joined in.

"Digimon! Digital Monsters!"

"Digital Monsters!?" Tai said, looking at the seven little things on the ground?

"Yes! Digimon!" the seven digimon said enthusiastically.

Koromon bounced in place as he spoke, "We're not just digital monsters! We're kinda cute!"

"And," Tsunomon continued, "very loyal."

Yokomon, a bright pink digimon with large emerald eyes and a blue flower on top of her head, said, "With beautiful hair."

Motimon, a pink jellyfish looking thing with two arms and round brown eyes, spoke next, "Or sometimes no hair at all!"

"We can be funny!" Bukamon said with a chuckle.

"And," Tokomon said with his ears twitching, "adorable."

"Even more than a little cuddly!" Urimon finished.

Tai grinned and placed a gloved hand on his hip as he said, "It's a pleasure to meet each of you. My names Tai and these are my friends from camp. I'd like you to meet Sora."

Sora smiled politely with her hands behind her back as she said, "Nice place you got here... except for the bugs."

"And the self proclaimed cool one over there is Matt," Tai said teasingly.

Matt played on it though, saying, "No autographs, please."

"And this is Joe," he pointed a thumb at the tallest of their group with blue hair.

"I'd shake your hand," Joe said, obviously feeling less afraid of the digimon now, "if you had any."

"Izzy here is our computer expert."

"Do you have internet access?" the short boy asked with a smile.

"The pink haired girl is Lucy," Tai told them.

"You guys are so cool! Can I take you home with me?" Lucy asked with a wide grin.

"And last but not least, this little guy is, uh," Tai stumbled over the youngest's name.

"TK," the little brother of Matt said, "Call me TK. And I'm not as Small as I look."

"There," Tai said jovially, "is that everybody?"

Sora furrowed her brow, "Hey, what happened to that girl with the funny pink hat?"

"Now, now," Tai said slightly scolding, "her name is Mimi."

Lucy's eyes widened, though no one noticed, and she looked around, hearing that roaring again.

"Perhaps she's picking flowers, or going on a nature hike, or a," Izzy suggested only to be interrupted by Mimi's scream of terror.

"Whaaa! Somebody help me!" That got the whole group's attention.

"Come on!" Tai ordered them, taking the lead, and running towards the girl.

"Okay," Izzy gave up, "So she's not picking flowers."

"Mimi," Tai called out as they entered a clearing, "where are you?"

About then, the girl in question, wearing a light pink cowgirl hat, dark pink old west style dress and brown shoulder bag, came running out from behind a tree, yet another scream on her lips. A little green digimon was just behind her, it had four little legs and a pair of leaves growing out of it's head.

"There she is!" Sora pointed out to Tai, the unofficial leader of the group.

"Mimi, it's okay," he called out to her, thinking she was running away from the little digimon following her. That belief was shattered when Kuwagamon came flying out of the trees, roaring yet again.

"It's that big bug again!" Tai cried out.

"What is with that thing?" Lucy asked.

"That's Kuwagamon," Urimon told her as it stood before her, "He's got a temper bigger than his pincers, which are razor sharp!"

Around this time, Mimi collapsed in relief to her knees after the big beetle thing had flown just over the kids' heads.

"Mimi, are you okay?" The little green digimon asked.

"Think so," the girl breathed out, her hands resting on her thighs.

"Don't worry, Tanemon is here to protect you," the little critter said with confidence.

Sora approached and kneeled beside the pink wearing girl, placing a gloved hand on her shoulder, "It's okay now."

"Oh, Sora," Mimi said thankfully as she looked into the other girls eyes.

Before anything more could be said, Kuwagamon turned around to make a return flight, roaring yet again.

"Watch it, here he comes!"

The giant red beetle dived into the foliage, not that it slowed him at all down with his razor claws simple cutting the trees out of the way, and the children and their digimon turned to run, screams on their lips.

"Down!" Matt called after about fifteen seconds of running, pulling Lucy and TK to the ground with him while the rest of them ducked down on their own. Just in time, too, as the big bug flew just over them, and would have certainly cut them in half if they had dived for cover.

Joe was the first one to get back up among the falling branches of the trees Kuwagamon had torn through, "Will this nightmare never end?" He cringed when a large one fell right next to him, "My mom is gonna want a complete and total refund!" he groaned in relation to the summer camp they were supposed to be attending.

"Here he comes again!" Yokomon notified them, just as the beetle was making his return flight.

Tai hopped to his feet with a scowl on his face and his hands clenched into fists, "Okay, that does it, no more running away!"

Sora, who was helping Mimi to her feet, looked at him significantly, "What else can we do?"

"She's right!" Matt agreed, "There's no way we can fight that thing!"

"Not without a giant can of Raid," Lucy nodded.

"Not and win, anyway," Izzy ascented as the beetle was getting closer.

With their options limited to run or die, the kids chose to run for the hills. Unfortunately, not knowing the layout of the place they were in, they soon came to a cliff over looking a river hundreds of feet below. The group skidded to a halt, Tai at the front, horror on all their faces.

"Great," Matt fussed, "Anybody bring a helicopter?" he asked sarcastically.

Not willing to give up just yet, Tai moved towards the edge of the cliff.

"Be careful, Tai," Sora called after him.

Tai hung his head, and frowned before turning to the others, "There's no way down. We're going to have to find another way."

"Another way where?" the helmet wearing girl asked legitimately, just as the trees began to shake with Kuwagamon's approach.

The other kids dived out of the way just in time, and Tai ducked just under its pincers. Its angry roar filled the air as it gained altitude to dive at the group again. Sora was the first to notice as it was making the U-turn and called out to the goggle wearing preteen.

"Watch out!"

Tai got up to run back to the group at the same time as Koromon hopped forward to try and protect him.

"Here I go!" the little pink thing shouted, then spit out a bubble gum pink bubble at the giant bug. Kuwagamon hesitated for a moment from the hit, then roared and bounced Koromon off of its head.

"Not again!" Tai said, seeing the little guy get hurt.

With Tai behind him now, Kuwagamon made to attack the group of children, but their digimon wouldn't have it.

"Digimon attack!" Yokomon commanded, and all the rest of them jumped forward, spitting out pink bubbles of their own. The impacts of those seven bubbles were enough to cause Kuwagamon crash to the ground in the trees behind and to the left of the group, but not before he smashed the little digimon to he ground first.

"Yokomon!" Sora cried out in distress as she dived to the ground under Kuwagamon's attack yet again, then repeated her call as she got back up, "Yokomon!"

But the little flower topped digimon didn't move. None of them did. Tai was already there, pinking up his partner from the ground.

"Koromon," he said with a bit of anxiety, "Are you crazy? Why'd you do it?" he held the little critter gently to keep from hurting him further.

Koromon struggled to open his eyes, a sad look on his adorable face from his failure, "Sorry, it's just... I'm trying to make a good impression."

"Crazy guy," Tai said, the raw emotion in his voice.

The others ran up to their own partners, gently lifting them off the ground.

Lucy actually had tears in the corner of her eyes, though she wasn't entirely sure why, "Urimon, please wake up!" all she got back was a groan of pain.

"Oh," Sora sighed softly as she picked her partner up," Yokomon..."

"Tanemon," Mimi said quietly, "Talk to me."

"They must be programmed for courage..." Izzy said, more emotion in his voice than any other time he spoke before.

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

"Tsunomon, wake up!" Matt tried to demand.

"Bukamon?" Joe prodded, "Wake up."

Unfortunately, Kuwagamon was down, but not out. With another roar of anger, the giant red beetle digimon burst out of the trees, its pincers snapping angrily.

"Oh, no!" Joe cried out.

Mimi and the other kids screamed in fear while Sora shouted, "Run!" Leading them towards Tai's position, "I was hoping we'd seen the last of him!"

"Me too," Tai said, staring in horror at the bug, "Guess he had other plans, huh?"

"Ugh! I knew I should have brought my bug spray," Matt grumbled.

Kuwagamon stepped forward, another roar in its insectoid throat, each step causing the ground to rumble with its weight.

"Okay," Tai said, seeing only one way out of this, "get ready to run."

"No!" Koromon said, becoming more lively, "We fight!"

"Huh?" Tai articulated.

"That's right, it's the only way!" Koromon insisted, "Stand and fight!"

"Give it up, will ya?" Tai said, trying to get the little guy to stop endangering himself.

"No, Koromon's right! It's time that we showed what we're made of!" Motimon said as he regained consciousness, trying to wiggle out of Izzy's grasp.

"No, don't!" Izzy said, keeping his grasp.

"They're right," Yokomon said from Sora's grasp, turning to face the bug digimon.

"No way, it's hopeless. You're no match for him, Yokomon!" Kuwagamon was getting closer even as they spoke.

"We can do it!" Tsunomon insisted as he began fighting against Matt's grasp, "Letmegoletmegoletmegoletmego !"

"Yes!" Tokomon agreed, also struggling now, "Let me go! Let me go!"

"Lemme go lemme go!" Bukamon was doing his level best to escape Joe and join the fight.

Mimi and Lucy were the most understanding.

"Tanemon? You too?" Mimi asked, hoping the little plant digimon would say no.

"Uh-huh," she said instead.

"Urimon," Lucy said, wiping the corner of one eye to brush away the tears, "Please be careful."

"I'll protect you, Lucy!" Urimon insisted.

"I'm sorry, Tai," Koromon said as he finally wrestled out of the boy's grip, then called to the other digimon, "Let's go!"

The others, with a burst of strength, broke away from the kids holding them and began a determined hopping march towards Kuwagamon, determined to protect their partners with everything they had.

"Come on, Digimon!" Koromon made a final rallying call as they jumped up at Kuwagamon.

"It's useless," Sora cried out, "Yokomon!"

Izzy likewise was distressed, "Don't go, Motimon!"

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

"Don't go!" TK called as Tokomon opened it's adorable little mouth freakishly wide to show a mouth full of shark like teeth.

"Urimon!" Lucy called, holding her fists at her side, "Don't get hurt!"

"Turn around!" Joe called, "Come back, Bukamon!"

"Tanemon..." Mimi said with her hands clasped in front of her chest, "Be careful!"

"Nooo!" Tai shouted, chasing after his own partner, "Don't, Koromon! Come back!"

Unseen by all, the little devices they had picked up back at camp began to glow brightly.

A dark vortex began to swirl about in the sky above, and eight beams of bright light came down out of it, striking each of the little digimon about to attack Kuwagamon. The children gasped in shock as they watched their new friends change before their very eyes.

"Koromon, Digivolve to... Agumon!" the little guy went from being pink and round to being a yellow dinosaur with bright green eyes and three claws on each hand. His voice deepened and he now came up to Tai's Chest.

"Yokomon, Digivolve to... Biyomon!" Yokomon grew as well, turning into a large pink bird with red claws at the ends of it's wings. The blue flower on it's head disappeared, and blue striped were on the ends of the feathers on it's head and tail feathers. It had a curly feather coming out of the top of his forehead that was striped blue and pink, and she had a metal cuff on her left ankle.

"Motimon, Digivolve too... Tentomon!" the little jellyfish creature grew into a large red beetle, though nowhere near the size of Kuwagamon. He had little grey horns on his carapace, big green compound eyes, and two sets of arms, the fore most set ending in grey claws, and the smaller set having little finger like digits.

"Tsunomon, Digivolve to... Gabumon!" Tsunomon became a creature about the same size as Agumon, of a lighter yellow color, with a big blue spot on his belly with purple markings in it. His tail was also longer, he had a golden horn coming out of his forehead, and he was wearing a blue and lavender striped fur over his head, back, and arms. The fur on his arm ended in three red claws to each hand, making it look like he was growing them out of his knuckles.

"Tokomon, Digivolve to... Patamon!" Tokomon didn't change as drastically as the others, only growing a bit bigger, and retaining his general shape, but he was now mostly tan in color, had bright blue eyes, and his ears now doubled as wings.

"Urimon, Digivolve to... Skymomon!" Where as Urimon looked like a chocolate Koromon with a horn on it's nose, Skymomon looked nothing like Agumon. Instead, she had turned into a blue monkey wearing a brown bandanna around her forehead, a long tail with a white tip, and big green wings. The fur coming out of the top of her head looked like pretty green and blue braids. Her eyes retained their blue coloration.

"Bukamon, Digivolve to... Gomamon!" Bukamon's orange tuft of hair turned into a mohawk. His flippers grew outwards, and grew three black claws each and two more flippers came out of his sides in the back, also clawed. Then his body turned with with purple markings, and his eyes became light yellow.

"Tanemon, Digivolve to... Palmon!" Tanemon retained her green coloration, but grew much taller. She had two arms, ending in long green claws, and legs that looked like roots. A tail grew out of the base of her spine, and a pink flower was now growing out of her head instead of just a couple of leaves. Over all she looked like a living plant.

Like usual, Kuwagamon's response was to roar angrily, while the children marveled at the changes to their new friends.

"What in the...?" Sora breathed, "Look at them! What's happened to the little guys?"

"They're... bigger!" Tai said needlessly.

With more battle cries, the new forms of the digimon attacked Kuwagamon. But even with all eight of them, in their new forms, nothing had changed. He just swatted them away.

But that wasn't enough to put them down this time. All eight of them got right back up, ready to keep going.

"Alright then, you asked for it," Agumon said, with a frown on his yellow face.

In response, the big beetle began to beet his wings to take off into the air again, but Palmon interfered with that plan.

"Poison Ivy!" the three long claws on each of her hands grew out like vines, turning purple as they did so, and wrapped around Kuwagamon's legs and kept him close to the ground.

Patamon and Tentomon flew up on the beetle's sides, flanking it as they fired off their own attacks.

"Boom Bubble!" Patamon inflated for a moment then released a bubble of condensed air that forced Kuwagamon's head down.

"Super Shocker!" Red and white electricity arched off of Tentomon's wings and staggered the bug. Gomamon took that opening to slide forward and knock it's left leg out from under it as it roared in pain.

"Step back everyone!" Agumon warned as he and Gabumon stepped up, "Pepper Breath!" A fireball flew out of his mouth and exploded on the bug.

"Blue Blaster!" Gabumon intoned as a stream of blue flame flew out of his mouth.

"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon was in the air directly in front of Kuwagamon, side by side with Urimon. Spiraling green flames shot out of her beak.

"Whirlwind Punch!" Urimon called as green energy swirled around her right fist as she punched out sending it at the big beetle.

The four attacks hit, one after the other, and began to set fire to Kuwagamon's outer shell. He threw his head up, roaring louder than ever, causing the flames to go out.

"Now!" Agumon said, "All together!"

The six of them with energy attack prepared them, then released, all at the same time, hitting Kuwagamon on the chest, setting him determinedly on fire yet again. This time causing the giant angry bug to fall backward into the jungle.

"Wow," Tai breathed, as all the kids stood there, mouths agape with shock.

"They made vaporware out of him..." Izzy intoned with a computer reference.

"Amazing!" Tai said as the digimon ran back towards their partners with pride on their faces.

"Told you we could do it!" Agumon crowed.

A smile worked its way across Tai's face as he ran forward to meet his digimon, "Koromon!...Or Agumon or whoever you are, you did it, you did it, you did it!" He pulled the yellow dinosaur into a hug.

The other kids let their digimon come to them. The others all greeted their digimon with hugs of their own. Their relief was palpable and the giggles of Mimi, Sora, TK, and Lucy was tinged heavily with it.

"How about that Super Shocker?" Tentomon asked as he hovered before Izzy, "Pretty wizard, huh?" Izzy just gave him a thumbs up and a big smile.

But the victory celebration was short lived as Kuwagamon showed it's devastating level of survivability. It popped back up, angrier than ever.

Sora gasped in fright, "Watch out!" she shouted to Agumon and Tai, the two closest to the monster bug.

The two of them were just barely able to dodge out of the way as the giant beetle slammed its razor sharp pincers into the ground right where they used to be.

"Guess we celebrated too soon," Tai quipped.

Before the battle could begin anew, cracks began forming in the ground, moving outwards from Kuwagamon's claws, and the outcropping they stood on began to shake. The children could do nothing but scream as the large chunk of rock broke loose, and dumped them hundreds of feet through the air into the water below.

Chapter one: End.
