showing up to say thanks for chosing this fic. Anyway, I do not own
digimon, and I merely write for fun, never for profit. enjoy!!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The young man sat at his computer, quietly typing away, as he went
through the sign in process to his internet connection. 'Why is it,
this takes forever to login... I swear, I just need to get a freakin
cable modem....' He reclined in his chair, brushing the shoulder
length brown hair out of his auburn eyes. Tonight, was his night to
relax, just sitting in a t-shirt and his shorts, and nothing else, his
grey/black flannel tossed over the back of his chair. He smiled
softly, watching the computer login and grabbed the mouse, about to
turn his Instant Messanger program on, when his computer seemed to
freeze on him. "Oh, Bloody thing, don't do this to me tonight.... I
know you need an overhaul, but this is getting rediculious." He
clicked his mouse a couple times, before sighing in resignation about
his comp seeming to 'die' on him. As his fingers went to his the
ALT/CTRL/DLT keys, all at the same time, the screen suddenly shone
brightly, actually blinding him for a moment. "What the....!?" HE was
cut off, as he felt himself being pulled into the computer, trying to
grab at his chair to stop himself, and only succeeding in grabbing
ahold of his flannel, to take with him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Koushiro Izumi was sitting at his computer, relaxing, when he noticed
a familier blip going off on the corner of his screen. Clicking on it,
a map appeared of the digital world, with a small text reading
"Unknown digivice detected entering the Digital World." Izzy tryed to
track where it would be at, before it was totally in, but the alarm
had gone off too late, only allowing him to narrow the area the new
digidestined to be in, to be somewhere in the Western section of
Folder. "Better tell the new guys. They can check this out, better
then the rest of us." Turning his E-mail on, he quickly typed a to the
point message out, sending it to 6 of the new digidestined, hoping
they got there in time, before this new kid was over whelmed or
something.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Groaning, he sat up, rubbing the back of his head. He blinked a
moment, looking in his hand, to see his flannel was still tight in his
grip, none the worse for wear, after that odd trip. 'Hmm,
interesting...' He lowered his arm, as he sat up, looking around at
his surroundings. This definetely was not his room in his basement.
That was a small basement, with a queen size bed, computer, and barely
enough room for everything else he owned. This, was a tropical
paradise, so to speak. He stood up, looking at the beautiful foliage,
as he slipped his flannel on over his t-shirt. It didn't seem too cold
or hot, so this would be the easiest way to keep track of it, in his
opinion. He walked to a tree, touching the bark noticing there was
something odd about it, but nothing he could place in words. Just a
general feeling that it wasn't as natural as the ones around his home.

'Perhaps, I feel asleep, and this is all a really fuzzed up dream?' He
smiled softly, jumping up in the air a couple times, trying to fly,
without much success. He huffed, and rubbed the back of his head,
looking around again. 'Ok, definetely not a dream..... flying is never
a problem in my dreams...'

Out of nowhere, a beeping noise cam from his his side. He jumped,
looking at the waist band of his shorts, finding a small digital
divice, sort of rounded, like one of those Neo-pets, that was slightly
larger then the palm of your hand, and was rounded to fit well. It was
a purple shade, with light purple trimming, and a small box screen
near the top. The beeping coming from it was in time with a small blip
on the screen near the center. Out of nowhere, once again, he felt a
weight on his shoulders, pushing him flat on the ground.

"Eric!!!" The thing on his back yelled happily. Whatever it was, it
was pulling his hair, sitting on him like this, and seemed genuinely
happy, so that boded well. When it finally got off his back, making
all kind of happy noises, he could have assumed right then, he had
somehow gone instantly insane, to be seeing something like this. In
front of him, stood a small Tyranosauris Rex, about the height of his
thighs, since he stood five foot and eleven inches tall. It had a dull
grey shade too it, and had bright purple eyes on the sides of it's
head, showing a bright glimmer of intellegence. It's tail wagger
slowly behind it, as it appeared to be doing the equivalant of smiling
at him, when another sudden realazation hit him. 'Pulling my hair?'

Reaching behind him, he felt at the back of his head, feeling his
hair, which felt smoother then normal, down, going farther down his
back then his hand could stretch at this angle. He turned his head
slightly, seeing his hair now came down to his lower back, and was
stark white, having no color whatsoever in it anymore. As he was about
to wonder how he had suddenly come across a hair growth, the young
voice of the mini-dino brought him back to earth, so to speak.

"Wow, Eric, I've been waiting for you, for a long time." Eric blinked
again. This little guy knew him? The voice was definetely male, but
also young, like a 13 year old or something. "Where have you been,
I've been waiting forever!" The small dino walked closer again,
smiling, in it's way, as Eric gave his best confused look, since it
was absoluetly genuine right now.

"Me? You've been waiting for me?" The small Rex nodded. 'wow....
wonder who long, hope it hasn't been since I was born or something ,
like in the anime's.... waiting 16 years doesn't exactly sound like
the best time....' "Well, who are you, and why have you been waiting
for me, little guy?"

"Me? I'm Toy Agumon, at your service." He gave a small bow, his claw
moving in front of him in proper fashion. "And don't you know? Your
Chosen! A Digidestined, bonded to me, and here to help keep both our
worlds safe. Your world, and the Digiworld." It grinned again,
thinking it was the simpliest ting in the world.

Eric, however, did not agree, with his digital partner. "Chosen?
Protect the world? Ok, great, I went insane, and put myself in an
anime wonderland.... pretty soon, dancing girls will come out and
probably shower me with lemonaid..." He chuckled to himself, starting
to laugh when he looked at Toy Agumon's face, showing the same
confusion he had shown a few minutes ago. As he finally calmed down,
he smiled at the small Tyranosaurus, and extended his hand. "Well, as
you seem to know, my names Eric. Nice to meet you partner." This
seemed to make Toy Agumon really happy, although he extended his hand
into the air blankly, not having a clue what to do, but happy ot hear
his partner was already willing to be with him. The teen took the
digimon's hand, shaking it, and smiling, when the digimon understood
and shook back.

Looking around, Eric rubbed his stomach, remembering he had not eaten
yet, before he had been pulled into this fantasy world he was in.
"Hey, Toy Agumon, you know where we can find some fruit or something
to eat? I'm starving." Toy Agumon smiled with a big tooth grin, and
nodded. "Yea!! I know where some great fruit is, follow me!" Helping
his partner up, the rookie digimon ran off down the trail, followed by
his partner.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

TK yawned softly, stiffling it with his hand, as he waited. Being
woken up by the emergancy e-mail from Izzy, he had gotten dressed, and
thrown his hat on, grabbing Patamon, and entering the digital world,
before anyone else had yet. Sitting next to a tree, near the DigiPort,
he waited, making sure to stay awake, but letting his partner sleep
for now. If they ran into trouble today, he would need it later.

A few minutes later, the DigiPort opened again, showing Kari in her
pink shorts and shirt, her camera around her neck, and Gatomon in her
arms. She smiled warmly at TK, and walked over to him, as he stood up.

"Morning, Sleepyhead." She teased, knowing how he felt, but better at
covering it. "Yolie and Cody are going to check the Eastern side of
area Izzy gave us. And Davis e-mailed me, saying he and Ken would
split the Northern and Southern parts between them. So that leaves us
together for the Western side." She smiled, glad to be alone with her
best friend for once, just the two of them.

TK smiled, for the same reason, besides not seeing Davis flirt with
Kari badly, and getting on his nerves. "Yep, together again." He
winked, before nudging Patamon, who made a small squeeking noise as he
woke up, causing Gatomon to stiffle a laugh unsuccessfully. "Rise and
shine, Patamon, we need to go."

The three of them quickly explained the situation, getting a quick nod
of 'lets go' from the winged digimon. He landed on the ground, Gatomon
jumping next to them, as their respective partners activated their
digimentals, evolving them into Pegasusmon and Nefertimon. Climbing
onto their partners backs, they each took flight, spreading a little
apart, to cover more ground, but staying within good eye sight, for
more then one reason.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Eric munched happily on the apple-like fruit, watching his partner eat
about three at a time, out of a small pile on the ground, they had
made. 'Guess I should be thankful we are NOT home.... I couldn't
afford the little guy...' Chuckling at the thought of his aunt and
uncle's reactions to him bringing a chibi-Tyrano home, he finished the
fruit, feeling well full now. Sitting back, he continued listening to
the digimon eat loudly, as he looked at the sky, thinking about his
current perdicament.

While finding food, Toy Agumon had tryed telling him everything he
could, to his inquiries, wanting to help his partner get on his feet
fast, so he wouldn't have too much trouble. From what he got of it, He
was a Chosen, a Digi-destined, who was bonded to a digimon, the name
for the creatures of this world, like Toy Agumon, and was meant to
help save both worlds, and keep them safe. How he was supposed to save
the world when everything was still a mystery? Of course, so was the
device he had since he had gotten here, the only thing his partner
knew about it was that it was a digivice. Otherwise, aside from
knowing it was important in someway, they were both clueless.

"Hey ToyAgu, you know if there is anyone else like me around? Or
anyone, for that matter. I mean, I havn't seen anyone else, aside from
you, since I got here." Toy Agumon looked up, with a full mouth,
swallowing it all, before trying to talk. "Well, there is the city of
Driver, about a day away from here. I stopped there before coming
here, feeling you near. That would be the best place to look, since I
havn't seen humans before either. I just hope we don't run into any
evil digimon, on the way...."

As if on cue, a sharp scream cut through the spot the Chosen and
Digimon has been resting in, coming through the woods. Definetely a
female's voice, both of them jumped to their feet, running quickly
towards the source. Following after the scream, came an unearthly
noise, a mixture of a roar and shrill scream. As they ran a bit more,
they finally had something come into view, and almost wish they
hadn't.

Next to a tree, was a small digimon, with two purpleish-blue almost
flower-like hands, a stem coming out of each one. It's head had a red
top on it, shaped like flower petals laying flat, and petals around
it's neck matching the 'hair' petals. It's body was a green, with a
small lizard-like tail, and green root feet. It seemed to be cowering,
but from what, wasn't visible yet, from the tree line.

As the pair came closer, it finally came into view. a large, preying
mantis like creature, easily the height of one of the trees was
walking towards the small plantlike digimon. Eric had already decided
they had to be digimon, creatures like that didn't exhist on earth. It
has a large mouth, with sharp teeth in it, along with red markings on
it's head. It had three insectiod wings on it's back, laying flat
since it wasn't flying, and was walking on two pairs of legs, with
it's insect butt dragging behind it. The scariest part, though, was
the large, sickle hands it had, both obviously sharp from the foliage
it was chopping through to reach the smaller digimon.

"It's a Snimon and a Floramon." Eric turned suddenly, as they both
came to a stop close by, as his new friend spoke up. "What did you
say, ToyAgu?" "The larger digimon is a Snimon, a preying mantic
digimon of the Adult level. The one by the tree is a Floramon, a Child
level digimon of the plant variety." Eric turned back around again,
seeing the Snimon raise it's sickle hands into the air. "Eric, it's
going to attack her!"

Not even thinking, He quickly started sprinting. Over the beating of
his heart from the run, he barely heard the insect's voice yell out,
"Shadow Sickle!" He bent over, as the Floramon looked from the insect
to him, in the split second before Eric grabbed her, holding her in
his arms, as he felt an explosion knock him off his feet. He rolled,
keeping the small plant digimon safe, before finally raising back to
his knees, seeing the tree she had been cowering by not split down the
center, along with part of the ground beneath it.

Blinking a moment, as the realization set in, he felt a tug at his
flannel. He looked down, to see the small Floramon pointing to the
back to the Snimon, which had found where it's prey had went, and was
now resuming the chance. Cursing under his breath, Eric stood up,
holding the Plant girl to his chest, about to bolt, when he say a
small fireball hit the Snimon in the side of the head. The Snimon
didn't seem to notice until two more hit it again. This time it turned
around, along with the Chosen, to see Toy Agumon standing in an
opening, his mouth partially open, with small flames flickering out of
it. Suddenly, the young digimon opened his mouth wide, another small
fireball flying at the Snimon as he yelled "Toy Flame!"

The Snimon blocked the fireball this time, with one sickle, before
turning to the new prey, the one that actually fought back. The Insect
digimon raised it's hands, as Toy Agumon fired another toy flame, but
even Eric knew he couldn't just stand and take the attack the Snimon
had just done. Toy Agumon was on the same level with the Floramon in
his arms. But he held his ground, firing his Toy Flame over and over,
as the Snimon prepared it's attack again.

"Toy Agumon!" Eric began running forward, hoping to get his partner's
attention and make him move. But suddenly, a flash of light came from
his side, radiating from the screen of the digivice. He reached down
with one hand, as both he and the Floramon looked at the strange
device in his hand, wondering what was going on. Just as suddenly,
they saw another flash of light, this time from where Toy Agumon was
standing, as a sphere of light surrounded him.

"Toy Agumon evolve to...... Deltamon!" the sphere exploded out, as a
large blue dinosaur emerged from it, standing easily taller then the
Snimon. It's stomach was white, in contrast to the blue skin over it's
body, with three circles in a triangle pattern with a line beneath
them on his stomach. It still stood on his legs, which now had much
larger claws on his toes, but had two tails, both blue half way down,
but one ending with metal plating over it, and the other seeming to
just finish with bones over it. But the thing that made Eric gasp, was
the sight of three dinosaur heads, one blue on it's neck, a metal dino
head on the right head, and a skull for the left. As the Chosen and
plant digimon sat in awe, the large digimon brought all it's heads
back, letting a fierce roar from each mouth. It then slowly lowered
them evenly, all six eyes leveling on the Snimon, who was just
bringing it's arms down quickly in attack.

"Shadow Sickle!" It brought it's blade like arms down and together, an
energy beam shaped like the sickles firing from the hands, at the new
digimon, Deltamon. Deltamon, though, simply spun his body quickly,
it's two tails smashing into the blast from the side, dissappating it.
As it faced the insect again, Deltamon barely had time to bring it's
arms up in defense, against the offensive attack of the Snimon. As the
sickle-hands came down, Deltamon brought it's mouth-hands up, grabbing
each blade in a mouth. For a moment, the two digimon stood toe to toe,
in a test of strength, before the dinosaur digimon slowly got the
advantage, lifting the Snimon off the ground, and throwing it into the
air a distance. He held all three mouthes open, a ball of energy
forming in each one, as the Snimon got it's barings and started
flying, quickly turning to return to the fight. As it got half way
back from th distance it had been thrown, the balls each shot out of
the mouths, aiming to meet a few feet in front of the center head, and
then firing a large beam at the insect as Deltamon yelled his attack,
"Triplex Force!" The energy beam crashed into the unprepared Snimon,
and when the beam had dissappated, it was nowhere to be seen.

Eric stared at the place the large attacking insect had last been,
before slowly turning his head to look at Deltamon. 'How did he....'
Before his thought finished, Deltamon began to glow once again,
shrinking down to the small, grey friendly form of Toy Agumon. Eric
blinked, seeing his friend again, and looked down at the Floramon.
This time, instead of fear filed eyes greeting his, he was greeted by
a sleeping face. He figured she must have fainted during the fight,
after Toy Agumon changed. He walked over to where Toy Agumon was, as
his partner sat down where he was standing, totally winded.

"Ok..." He paused, wanting to not mess this question up. "Simple
question, for a complex answer, I know it.... How?" He watched his
tired friend closely, wondering what he would do next.

"I evolved. It's called digivolving. It's how a digimon goes from a
baby, to a child, to an Adult, and sometimes, even into a Perfect
digimon." He said the last with a sort of awe in his voice. He had
explained the levels of evolution digimon had. Hatchling, which was
fresh from the egg. Then baby, which was the next form up. From there,
they evolved into their child form, which was where ToyAgu and the
Floramon were at. After that, was becoming an Adult, which that
Snimon, and if he was right, Deltamon, were both part of. And for
those few digimon able to survive long enough, and figure out the
secret to it, were the ones aloud to evolve into Perfects, who were
were as much more powerful as compared to an Adult, as an Adult was to
a Child. As for anything else, he had said something about legends
about Ultimate level digimon, ones with enough power to do so much
destruction, that almost no one could withstand it.

"So, how did you evolve into an Adult, and why did you go back to a
child then?"

"I didn't evolve on my own. I felt your power help me evolve."

He blinked. 'My power?' " What do you mean? The digivice activated,
when it happened, could that have anything to do with it?" Toy Agumon
nodded in response. "So then, when the digivice activates, I can give
you the power you need to temporarily evolve into an Adult, in case of
trouble then. He thought about it a second, before getting that
pattened ToyAgu smile and nodding again. "Well, seeing as you seem
exhausted and hungry, lets make a camp, find some food, and let this
little one sleep for a bit. I want to make sure she's ok, before we
leave her." Toy Agumon seemed over joyed at the thought of food, and
nodded quickly at the note about watching the young Floramon, before
bounding off, in search of food, leaving his partner to set camp.

Eric chuckled, before walking more into the woods, and making a small
camp fire sight, save the fire itself. He set the Floramon leaning
against a tree, before setting rocks around the campfire pile of
branches, to make sure the grass didn't catch. He sighed, realising he
would need ToyAgu to start the fire, since he knew next to knowing
about wilderness survival, really. He glanced back at the small
sleeping digimon, seeing her shivering, as nighttime was just starting
to set in the digital world. He removed his flannel, layig it over her
like a blanket easily, thanks to her size, before smallign softly, and
setting next to the firepit, staring up at the reddening sky,
wondering what his fate was supposed to be, with his new introduction
to this new life.

::sighs in relief:; you know, this chapter only took me one night to
write? You know how hard it is to write a chapter in one night, with
ims going, plus watching your spelling? Very, I'll tell you what.
Anyway, go ahead to chapter two, to gain some insight into this new
digidestined who has shown up on the scene. ^_^
