Chapter Text
[E/c] orbs blinked owlishly as [Name]’s connected with a pair of brown. The boy she had met earlier when she arrived at summer camp sat directly in front of her now in a clearing. One moment their frolicking in freshly fallen snow and then the next their in an evergreen forest. Beside them were two odd creatures, bouncing excitedly at their arrival. One was a pink ball of energy with long flowing ears and the other looked like a lavender dew drop.
“[Name], was it?” the boy quipped hesitantly, unsure if that was her name.
She nodded as she gave him a reassuring smile as the boy looked relieved. “I heard you introducing yourself to Mimi before…” the boy paused as he scanned the area, “…we were dropped here. I’m Tai— Tai Kamiya.”
“What about you guys? You two seem friendly enough,” [Name] murmured as she focused on the two creatures.
“I’m Koromon!” the small pink ball introduced itself.
“… And I’m Moonmon!” the dewdrop creature added in.
“… And we’re your Partners!” They said together excitedly.
“Partners?” Tai asked as he cocked his head to the side.
[Name] giggled softly at the boy as she stood and extended her hand out for him to grab. Adjusting the goggles and headband that sat above his head, Tai grabbed it as she pulled him up. They dusted themselves off as they stared in awe. “What is this place?” Tai wondered as Koromon grinned.
“You’re in the Digital World!” Koromon replied back enthusiastically.
“Tai?” another voice called out from a bush as it rustled to reveal three other boys.
“Matt! T.K.! And Izzy!” Tai cried in relief as the boys had creatures of their own trailing behind them. “[Name],” he pointed to each boy, “this is Matt Ishida, T.K. Takaishi and Izzy Izumi.”
“Hi!”
“Hi there!”
Matt gave her a welcoming wave as [Name] waved back shyly at the boys as a light blush dusted her cheeks. “Nice to see we’re not alone.”
[Name] crouched down to her partner and pet her gently on the head as Tai walked over to the boys. Using his hand to cover his mouth from [Name], he whispered into Tai’s ear, “Hey, who is that?”
Koromon bounced over to the girl, asking for a pat as well while the boys observed. She was about Matt and Tai’s age, about 10 years old, with vibrant [e/c] eyes and long, [h/c] hair that was styled in a high ponytail. She had on a pink bracelet on her right hand as she wore a black sweater over a blue and white striped shirt and denim ruffle skirt with black leggings underneath and wore white sneakers. “Her name is [Name]…” Tai whispered back.
“Just [Name]?” Matt raised an eyebrow and Tai quickly realized as he slapped a hand over his face— he didn’t know her last name.
T.K., Matt's little seven year old brother, waddled over to her as he carried his creature as he introduced himself to her. “What’s your name?” the young boy asked.
“My name is [Name] Suguwara,” [Name] replied to the boy as T.K. gave her a reassuring smile. “Who’s this little one?”
“Ohhh,” Matt and Tai exclaimed in unison once they figured out her last name— silently thanking T.K. of him asking her.
“This is Tokomon,” the little boy explained as he glanced down towards the cute little creature in his arms as Izzy slid his backpack’s shoulder straps off of him and pulled out his laptop. “The one with the big horn on its head next to my brother is Tsunomon and the one next to Izzy is Motimon.”
“What are you doing there Izzy?” Tai asked as everyone crowded around the young prodigy, including the creatures.
“I’m trying to research where we are and what these creatures are—“ Izzy was cut off by the creatures.
“We’re Digimon— Digital Monsters!” the creatures announced in unison as the children stared in awe.
“[NAME]!!!” another voice called out as a boy sprinted over to the young girl, pushing through the group as he wrapped his arms around her. “I’m so glad you’re okay! I was so worried!”
Tai could feel his right eye twitch in annoyance as he watched the interaction between [Name] and the unfamiliar boy as [Name] tried to push off the said boy. Matt, and T.K. paid no mind as they watched Izzy work on his laptop. The unfamiliar boy had platinum blonde hair and sky blue colored eyes. He was wearing a red short sleeve jacket with a white shirt underneath it, a pair of black pants that reached his ankles and white sneakers with black stripes . [Name] pinched the boy on his cheek, finally releasing her as he yelped in pain. “Asahi, you’re being dramatic,” [Name] sighed as she let him go.
Asahi rubbed his reddened cheek, a pout ever present as a small orange Digimon hovered towards him. “Sunmon!” Moonmon cried as it bounced in glee.
The Digimon resembled the sun and had a small flame at the center of its forehead. The two Digimon were exact opposites, reminding [Name] of Yin and Yang. “…And you are?” Tai asked as he crossed his arms over his chest as Asahi made eye contact with him, grabbing the attention of the others now that they had more company.
Asahi gave Tai a side smirk, imitating his stance and said confidently, “My name is Asahi: Asahi Mutou.”
“Hey,” [Name] interrupted their intimidation tactics amongst each other, “wasn’t there another boy and two girls with us when we were brought here?”
“Yeah,” Izzy retorted as he closed his laptop and began to count three of his fingers. “Joe Kido, Sora and Mimi— she’s the one that had the pink hat on.”
“So how do you know [Name], Asahi?” T.K. asked as Asahi rubbed the back of his head as he grinned cheekily.
“[Name] and I are childhood friends,” Asahi explained as Tai rolled his eyes. “Our parents had us come together to summer camp.”
“Alright, now that we know each other, let’s look for the others,” Tai suggested as he shoved his hands into the front pockets of his shorts. “Who knows where they’ll be.”
“Let’s stay together,” Matt advised as he pulled T.K. closer to him as they all walked towards a cleared path.
“I’m kind of hungry,” [Name] muttered as she rubbed her stomach, a grumble could be heard by the others as their minds went to the thought of food. “I could go for a cheeseburger.”
“With extra cheese—“ Matt included.
“And bacon—“ Tai groaned with hunger.
Their daydream of food was short-lived when they saw three kids and their Digimon running towards them. “SORA! MIMI! JOE!” Tai yelled as the children grouped up together.
“Glad to see familiar faces,” Mimi chirped in relief. “I almost broke a nail from fright.”
“Oh Mimi,” Sora sighed tiredly. “Glad to see everyone is safe.”
“My mom is going to want a full refund,” Joe whined as he held his Digimon.
“So who are you guys?” Asahi asked the new Digimon of the group.
“This is Yokomon, my new something or other,” Sora introduced the pink flower-like Digimon beside her. “The one Joe is holding is Bukamon, and Mimi’s Digimon is Tanemon.”
They greeted the group sweetly as Sora’s attention went to [Name]. “Who are you and blonde?”
“My name is [Name], and this is Asahi,” [Name] smiled kindly as she gave a small wave.
As the group got to know one another, they would in due time find out what their destiny had in store for them. From countless adventures to friendships blossoming, the DigiDestined would have so much to uncover for the world depended on them.
