A/N: So recently while browsing Netflix, my sisters and I found they'd uploaded Digimon 01. Oh HELLO childhood! While watching it, i thought how different the story would have been had the Digidestined been adults when they first got to the Digital World. I thought of that concept for a while but never really got around to writing-after all its been 10 years since I last wrote anything. But when they announced Digimon Adventure Tri- I just couldn't resist.

So please read/review, hopefully you find it as enjoyable as I did while writing!

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. Although I wish I did. :(

Digimon 2015 And So It Begins…

Vacation. It was the start of Taichi Kamiya's well deserved 5 day getaway in the beautiful, and most importantly, secluded hot spa resort located smack middle of Nowhere, USA. 5 years ago, he'd have preferred to spend vacation on an exotic island or beach but 5 years ago he wasn't Taichi Kamiya, soccer star and tabloid fodder, with droves of fangirls and paparazzi following him around like well, fangirls.

And while Tai had expected the weather to be cooler here in the Appalachian mountains, he hadn't expected it to be freezing.

Like, what the hell? Tai could have sworn there was snow on the ground.

Wait, was that snow? The soft and fluffy white duvet covers fell off his chiseled body as he stumbled towards the floor to ceiling windows in his VIP suite.

"Holy shit! It did snow!" The majestic view of the valley below him was impeded by a thick blanket of white snow that glittered brilliantly in the sunlight. No fucking way. Its July though!

Oh wells. Taichi shrugged as he reached over to pull on a blue Addidas track jacket over his plain white t, zipping the jacket all the way up to his chin. The snow didn't bother him too much, as long as the hot baths were still operational, maybe he could even have Steve his manager express ship him his boarding gear and take advantage of this snow while it lasts.

Tai was actually starting to get excited. Quickly, he pulled on the same brown trousers from yesterday (only worn for half a day, while checking in, relax! They aren't ripe yet!), jammed his feet into a pair of Addidas running shoes and finished his look with a pair of Tom Ford aviator sunglasses.

He will call Steve. Later.

But for now? Breakfast. Definitely breakfast.

Down in the chic but cozy VIP dining room, a few people were already enjoying their meals.

There was that designer chick- Sora was it?- sitting at a table with a girl way to skinny to be alive but was apparently a model of sorts and they were both having what looked like half a boiled egg and an alarmingly bright green sludge for breakfast.

Near the windows were two blonde males having God knows what, but either they were brothers or very narcissistic gay lovers, the two were practically identical. Tai was not in the mood to guess which, after all he hadn't had his morning coffee yet and at 10AM it was practically dawnand therefore too early to start thinking.

Along the bar was Koushiro Izumi, the founder of a Social Media platform that was apparently revolutionary but Tai had long stopped using anything more than Instagram since he'd started playing soccer professionally.

And next to Izumi was dark blue haired bespectacled male, very doctor or teacher like(coincidentally they were the exact two types of people Tai did not get along very well with, thank you very much), wiping down the bar stool and counter with a Sani-Wipe.

Dear Lord. It was still way too early.

Tai considered going back to sleep momentarily when a whiff of magical strong black coffee wafted past him.

Coffee. Even if I go back, I should take a mug back with me.

In the corner of his eye, he spotted a flash of color against the white of the snow.

Wait, what the fuck was that? Don't tell me its aliens and shit, this is supposed to be my vacation, why the fuck couldn't this have gone down while I was still working, like when I was shooting that God-Awful Addidas commercial or shit-

"It's an aurora!" The skinny girl was already making her way towards the grand French doors opening out into a balcony, the back of her head and shoulders entirely obscured by the giant white floppy sunhat and her ass hidden under a flouncy pink dress.

"Like an aurora borealis? That's impossible! Those only occur in the far north, we are too far south!" Izumi looked up from his lap top, his satellite phone in hand. Closing the computer and placing it into a backpack beside him, he started for the doors as well.

"Yeah well tell that to the snow." Sora had joined the small group assembled outside, shivering on the balcony. One of the blondes, dressed in a green hoodie and khaki pants began taking photos with a giant DSLR.

When Tai crossed out into the open, the first thing he noticed was the sharp sting from the frosty air, the second was that the light display going on above was pretty stinking awesome.

"Well, whatever's happening, it's beautiful!" Skinny girl again. Next to Tai, the dark haired guy fidgeted nervously with his glasses.

"I don't know. Weather should stick to their patterns, this snow in July? It's making me nervous." Tai rolled his eyes. Dude's got a stick up his ass.

"Come on, bro, relax!" Thumping the guy on the shoulder once, Tai gave him a huge grin before turning his attention to the wonderful pink and green lights streaking across the sky.

Just then, there was a huge boom, out of nowhere, shocking the small group gathered outside.

"What the fuck was that?!" The other blonde yelled and when Tai turned to get a good look at him he was surprised to see that he recognized the man. Or at least those bright blue eyes were really familiar, like where did he see him from?

Oh yeah. He's the vocalist from that band that disbanded a few years ago because the vocalist started grad school or something. What was his name again? Something with an M-Michael?

"I don't know Matt, thunder?" MATT! That was his name! Huh, didn't realize he had a brother…or is that a lover? No, I'm pretty sure he was straight, he was rumored to be dating around with all sorts of females.

"No way, I didn't even see any lightning, can there be thunder without lightning?" Everyone was starting to get panicky.

"Well technically, although very rare, thunder can-" Izumi was cut off when little projectiles came shooting down towards them. Oh fuck, now I'm starting to get a little panicked, that boom was from the sound of these missiles breaking the sound barrier, wasn't it? Jesus, we're dead.

And who is the asshole that's shooting missiles at a bunch of tourists? What a freaking prick! And who's the target anyways?

The seven standing in the snow did not even have the time to react as the little streaks of light fell in front of each of them.

"What the fuck? Oh good lord Jesus, I'm alive!" Tai started to laugh, partly from relief but mostly from the crazy surges of adrenaline coursing through his body. Like, not even when he'd been seconds from shooting the winning goal of the World Cup games had he felt such a rush that even the small hairs on his legs tingled.

"What was that? That was crazy. Am I dreaming or did everyone else just see what I just saw?" Sora was looking a little pale from the shock, her reddish eyes wide with surprise. Admittedly, she was pretty cute even when she was dressed in just a boxy yellow tank top with boyfriend jeans, her fiery red hair covered by a cheery blue beanie.

"It looks like a gadget of sorts. Interesting. It doesn't seem to be an explosive from what I can tell, but who knows." Izumi was bent down peering intently at the snow.

Tai turned his attention back down to whatever it was that very nearly ended his existence. The force of its landing had created a small crater near his feet and it was a wonder that the balcony didn't collapse from the shock. A small white device lay in a small puddle of melted snow. It…looked almost like a tamagotchi.

Tai chuckled. Which idiot just deployed a bunch of toys unto a mountain? Not thinking much of the situation and glad that it wasn't a, well, a bomb or missile of sorts, Tai picked up the small gadget.

"Uhh..I wouldn't touch that thing if I were you…" The blue haired dude started but trailed off when he realized that everyone else was already holding whatever device it was in their hands, studying the random gifts with mild curiosity.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a strange sensation of the ground starting to crumble beneath them. And then they were falling.

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!

"AAAHHH! OH MY GOD, I WANT A REFUND ON THIS VACATION!"

"Tai! Tai wake up!" Taichi groaned. He had a massive headache and his body felt like it had just been pummeled by a team of American football players. Or in short, he had the worst hangover in the history of hangovers.

What the hell happened? Ugh, I am never, ever drinking again.

Straining, Tai tried to recall the events of the previous night, the party he must have attended and gotten wasted at, otherwise there could be no other explanation for this rip roaring headache.

"Tai! Come on! I've been waiting forever for you to come!" Who the hell was that?

Scrunching his face as he pried an eye open, he was shocked to see a small mass of light pink fur with demon-red eyes obscuring his line of vision.

"AHHH!WHAT THE-WHAT THE WHAT? I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" The headache quickly vanished as Tai leapt up onto his feet and unceremoniously hopped a couple times back.

It was even more terrifying from farther away. WTF, it didn't even have a body, it was literally a decapitated animal's head, quite obviously demon possessed as it was talking-and, my god, it knew his name!

For a decapitated head, it was surprisingly fast and chased after Tai.

"Be nice Tai! I'm Koromon, your digimon!"

"I don't care what your name is, you are TERRIFYING! And what the hell is a digimon anyways?" Tripping. Taichi must be tripping, there was no other explanation for it. Oh man oh man, Tai would go cold turkey on all his bad habits immediately if this nightmare would end!

"A digimon is a digital monster! I have been waiting forever for you to get here!" The little guy stopped bouncing around and started up at Tai.

Hmph. It was kinda cute. But freaky. Definitely freaky.

But what the hell? It just acknowledged itself as a MONSTER!

Gingerly, Tai swallowed his chagrin. Maybe he had overreacted, especially if it was a trip, there was no reason to be a little pansy.

Reaching down, he picked up the small little bundle of fur. The little guy was soft and warm, and if Tai could get past the no body/arms/legs thing, he had to admit the monster was pretty cute. Kinda like a deformed puppy.

"Koromon. Huh. Interesting. Well, you seem to know me already but I'm Tai." Slowly, his pulse started to come back to normal. Baby steps, baby steps.

The was a soft rustle in the trees to his side and Tai instinctively tensed his muscles.

"Taichi, Taichi, are you ok?" Oh Thank God! It was Koushiro, blessed be his soul, stepping into the small clearing that Tai had woken up in. It was a wonderful sight, the young programmer in all his orange button downed and beige trouser-d glory, trusty backpack in tow.

"Yeah man, I'm fine. You ok?"

"I'm ok, thanks. Motimon here was explaining a few things to me when we heard you-"

"Uh yeah, no I'm cool, I'm fine, just a little sup-AHHH!FUUCK!" Tai yelped as another pale pink…bug? Appeared from behind Izzy.

"Hi Tai! I'm Motimon! I'm Koushiro's digimon, and I see you've met Koromon already!" An..Another one?

"As I was saying, Tai, I don't think we're on the resort anymore."

"Yeah, no shit Sherlock, I wouldn't have paid for this, let me tell you." Looking around Tai spied a tree that looked relatively easy to climb, or so he hoped, he hadn't climbed a tree in since forever.

Grunting, he started to pull himself up limb by limb, praying that the tree wouldn't give up under his weight.

When he finally reached as high as he would dare to go, he took a deep breath and started to look around.

Huh. Interesting.

"What do you see?"

"Well…there's what looks like a beach in the distance and…some snow capped mountains? Dude, where do you think we are?"

"You're guess is as good as mine. It can't be anywhere in the geological US though, that's for sure." Huh. Scanning the skies again, Tai was excited to see what looked like a bright red helicopter heading towards him.

"Hey Koushiro! I think I see a chopper, we might be saved!" Tai called down to Izzy while the latter just made a thumbs up sign.

"Uh..Tai? I don't know what a chopper is, but that looks like a Kuwagamon!" Koromon chirped in a strained voice, a hint of urgency in his voice.

"A what?" Tai focused his eyes on the red blur that was successively getting larger and larger and…oh shit, it wasn't a helicopter!

A giant red beetle with gigantic pincers was flying right at them and Tai stared agape at the size of that thing. It was a behemoth! Easily as big as a tank-with wings!

"TAI! DUCK!" Koromon knocked Taichi down just as the monster easily clipped through the remaining top half of the tree they were sitting in. A rush of air and a foul stench flew past Tai as the Kuwagamon went by, a rain of wood shavings and splinters falling around him.

"TAI! GO!" Koromon again knocked Tai which caused him to fall a few feet before he quickly make his way down to the ground where Koushiro and Motimon waited anxiously.

Just as the giant bug turned around and headed for them, Koromon suddenly jumped for the beetle, heaving in a giant breath of air before yelling " BUBBLE BLOW!"

"YEAH KOROMON! SHOW HIM WHO'S BOSS!" Taichi yelled as the little guy launched what appeared to be a…giant pink bubble?

The bubble hit the beetle against the head with a pop.

"Wait, what was that? That's it?!" Tai groaned. They were screwed. That was going to do nothing to the giant digimon.

Suprisingly, the Kuwagamon yelled a god-awful sound before lurching away.

"Oh shit! That worked?! I can't believe that worked! Yeah man!" Taichi hugged the exhausted Koromon, who'd fallen into his arms after his little show of exertion.

"Most impressive. But uh, and I hate to say this, but KUWAGAMON IS COMING BACK!"

"Oh dear, everyone, follow me, I know where to hide!" The two males began to run after the little digimon down into the trees as Kuwagamon chased them from above. Each tree the giant digimon passed was cut through like passing a knife through silken tofu.

"Hurry! Hurry! For having such long legs, you guys are sure slow!" Taichi gritted his teeth as his pushed his legs faster.

Oh shit! If he didn't have a fucking blinding concussion, he'd be able to run faster, after all he was a fucking soccer star for heaven's sakes.

"Hurry! We're almost here!" Then, suddenly, Motimon hopped into a tree. Like literally hopped into a tree.

"What just happened here? That's not physically possible!" Izumi stammered while panting to catch his breath.

"Who the hell cares?! Come on!" Grabbing Koushiro by the arm, Taichi jumped towards the tree as well, scrunching his eyes shut and bracing for impact.

Oh dear Lord, help us!

And nothing. It was amazingly quiet in the..tree? Tai waited a moment to open his eyes and was surprised to see the tree was more like a dooms day prepper's bunker in the inside, with thick sheets of metal rising up into a tapered dome.

"How fascinating." Koushiro was already up and testing the walls of the bunker. Up ahead, they could hear Kuwagamon screaming but faintly and getting even fainter.

Soon there was no indication that the monster was still out there.

"I think he's gone. You think it's safe to go outside?" Taichi was sitting crouched against the wall.

Izzy shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine."

"Hey guys, it's safe to come out now!" SORA! Taichi poked his head out, flinching just a little as he felt his head go through nothing yet there was a very distinct difference between the bunker and outside..where ever it was.

He would never get used to that feeling.

Just outside the bunker, Sora stood there smiling, a little hybrid plant/puppy standing next to her.

"Hello there, I'm Sora and this is Yokomon."

"I'm Koromon and that's Motimon."

"So nice to meet you!" Sora smiled and Tai swore no other woman looked as beautiful as this plain girl in a beanie did just then, not even his mother.

Tai stepped out of the tree as did Koushiro and immediately enveloped Sora in a big bear hug. Sora laughed, "It's nice to see you again as well Tai!"

Pulling away, Sora also reached out to Koushiro who gave a hug in turn, albeit awkwardly.

"You too, Koushiro! I've been meaning to send you a thank you for helping me set up my website!" Koushiro blushed slightly before turning away.

"No worries."

Suddenly there was a dash of white and a small but very obese guinea pig with fangs of death was rolling around with all the other digimon.

"Tokomon, come back buddy!" The unidentified blonde came running into the clearing, and behind him was Matt the rock star.

Tucked under Matt's arm was an orange ball of fur with a giant-ass metallic horn.

"Oh hey guys! You guys are here too? This is awesome!" Definitely immature, Taichi mused as he gave the young man a handshake and friendly man-hug with plenty of room for Jesus. He proceeded to give Izumi the same friendly reception before turning to give Sora a quick peck on her cheek.

"Those are yours, I'm assuming? This is Tsunomon, apparently." Matt nudged his head in the direction of all the digimon gathered in front of their humans, while keeping a slight distance from the rest of the group. Too cool for school, I guess.

Tai stepped forward, getting ready to introduce all of them to each other when, from the far side of the clearing they heard an incredible racket.

"AAHHH! Get away, stop following me! AAHHH, HELP!" The blue haired dude- Tai was going to assume he was a doctor- burst into the clearing, his face clearly stricken with fear. On his left shoulder was a strange greige seal with a little orange flame spouting out of his forehead.

"Stop following you? I'd never leave your side, Jyou!" Huh, so his name was Jyou.

"Hey, hey! Calm down there buddy, that little guy's your pet!" The young blonde reached out to steady the blue haired-er, Jyou and laughed as Jyou shuddered.

"Well, I guess we should all introduce ourselves, right? I'll go first. I'm Taichi Kamiya, soccer player and uh this is my…this is Koromon."

"Koushiro Izumi, programmer. And that's Motimon. Pleasure to meet everyone."

"I'm designer Sora Takenouchi, and this here's Yokomon."

"Well, I'm Dr. Jyou Kido and…I'm sorry, what's your name again?"

"I'm Bukamon!"

"Uh, yeah, this is er, Bukamon."

"Nice, well, I'm Yamato Ishida, formerly a vocalist, now an astrophysicist. Please call me Matt and no signatures". Everyone chuckled politely.

"Right and this is Tsunomon, and here is my little brother-"

"Hey everyone, I'm TK! And say hello to my little buddy Tokomon!"

Tai looked around the group, glad to finally have names to place with each face and thankful that they all seemed like pretty decent people.

"Yeah well. I guess that's all of us? Wait no, that skinny girl- what happened to her?" Tai asked while flipping his aviators up over his forehead.

"Now, now, her name is Mimi" Yamato replied as he shifted Tsunomon on his arm. The blonde looked pretty put together in a dark green plaid shirt over a pair of dark blue jeans and brown hipster work boots. Tai almost wished he'd put more thought into what he wore as well but hey, to his defense, he had no idea this was going to happen.

Interesting how he already knows the chick's name.

"Mimi, yeah, whatever. Let's go find her."

Sora narrowed her eyes and cocked her head slightly to her left, as if she was listening very closely.

"Wait, guys, I think I hear her. And it's coming from that direction." Sora picked up Yokomon and started for a dark path right into the woods.

Whoa, girl's pretty ballsy.

Tai grabbed Koromon and followed after the red-head, surprised at how fast she was able to run down such an unruly path. The others followed suit and soon enough they were all able to hear the high-pitched and terrified screams of the girl.

"It's ok, Mimi, they're our friends!" Someone from the group called out to the small pink blur that was running frantically towards them. As they grew closer to each other, Tai noticed the girl was running in heels.

Damn! I didn't even think that was possible!

"I'm pretty sure that thing isn't our friend!" Mimi yelled as she caught up to the group and proceeded to run right past them, a small green animated bean sprout in tow. Suddenly, there was a rush of wind and the familiar sound of pincers snapping through trees.

Oh fuck, not again!

"It's Kuwagamon! Run!" The rest of the group quickly turned around and ran after the pretty girl in pink. Kuwagamon chased after them with a vengeance and Tai's heart sunk straight to his knees when they finally came to a stop at the edge of a cliff.

Oh fuck. I'm too young to die!

While Tai was only a little out of breath (mostly from panic, mind you, not from the run- he was a seasoned athlete after all), the rest of the group were panting like asthmatic dogs trying to catch their breath.

All too soon, Kuwagamon caught up to them and landed on ground with a sickening thud.

Ok, think you stupid baboon, there's got to be a way out.

Looking around, Tai could see there was really only 2 possible options:

Suicide by jumping over the cliff because I am sure as fuck not going to become beetle biscuits or

Distract the dumb bug while we run back into the woods for cover

Option 2 seemed like a much better option than hurling one's self down into a raging river below but how the fuck were they going to distract the beast?

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Matt pull out a beretta pistol from his jeans and quickly trigger a few shots at Kuwagamon.

Oh thank god for hipsters! But wait, what the fuck, he couldn't have shot at the dumb bug while we were running?!

Fourteen sets of very hopeful eyes watched the giant digimon…but nothing?

"What the fuck- you missed?! How did you miss?! That thing's larger than the Empire State Building!"

"I didn't miss you little shit! The bullets are not doing anything to this thing!"

"Oh my god, we're going to die!" Wailed the good doctor.

"No! We'll fight!" The digimon started to struggle against their human counterparts, trying to get free.

Tai started to laugh hysterically.

"You guys? What, you're going to blow bubbles at that thing again?!" He was incredulous. The thought of a few bubbles doing any damage at all when a beretta was not even able to ding the monster was the very worst kind of joke.

"I'm going to have to agree with Tai on this one guys, maybe there's another way." Koushiro was doubled down with his hands on his knees, his face slightly flushed from the run.

"Well we are going to have to try, you have to let us!"

Option 2- distract Kuwagamon while we run back into the woods-the digimon distract Kuwagamon and we run back into the woods!

"Ok well, if you're suicidal then go right on ahead!" Koromon broke free from Tai's arms as did the rest of the digimon. They all rushed towards the Kuwagamon who stood there waiting, pincers and all.

"Bubble Blow!" Tai's feet however remained glued to the ground as he watched their newly forged friends throw themselves at the beetle.

It was a losing battle and Tai felt a strange mix of emotions as he watched the small pink bubbles expelled from their little bodies float towards Kuwagamon. Pride? Affection? Panic?

As expected, the large monster swatted the bubbles away with a giant shake of his pincers and smacked all the digimon back down to their respective humans.

"Oh Tanemon! Tanemon, are you alright?!" Mimi held the little green digimon in her arms, her large hazel eyes brimming with tears.

"We have to try again!" Wow, persistent little things aren't they.

"Well, you saw how brilliantly that played out! Oh man, I wish I'd thought to bring bug spray with me!" The good doctor was surprisingly calm while assessing the small digimon for any injuries.

"We can't just give up, we have to keep trying!"

"Yeah well I hope you have few more tricks up your sleeve otherwise, we're royally screwed!" Even too cool for school Yamato Ishida was starting to sound strained.

"Ok well, if you have any better ideas now is the time to spit it out!"

"Just let us fight!"

Tai looked down into Koromon's eyes. They were set and determined and Tai knew there was no other real feasible options.

"Good luck, little guy, thanks for saving my sorry butt, I'll set up a charity in your name!" Tai let go of his friend and as he did, something flashed white hot behind his eyes and that same white flash enveloped Koromon!

With a myriad of colors and a fancy twirling sequence, Koromon exploded into a…mini orange T-rex?

Oh this acid trip was the gift that kept on giving, wasn't it?

"Koromon digivolve to…AGUMON!"

"Tsunomon digivolve to…GABUMON!"

"Motimon digivolve to…TENTOMON!"

"Yokomon digivolve to…BIYOMON!"

"Tanemon digivolve to…PALMON!"

"Bukamon digivolve to…GOMAMON!"

"Tokomon digivolve to…PATAMON!"

WHOA. HOLD UP, WHAT THE FUCK?

"How's that for a bag of tricks! POISON IVY!" The green plant/cactus suddenly grabbed one of Kuwagamon's legs with a bunch of vines, holding the bug in place while the rest of the digimon ran up to attack.

Tai noticed that each one attacked the bug with their own signature move and was eagerly anticipating Koromon, er, Agumon's attack.

"PEPPER BREATH!" Pepper breath?! Who came up with these names?! A small burst of flames burst out and visibly singed the beast.

"OK GUYS, NOW ALL TOGETHER!" All the digimon began mercilessly pounding the giant digimon with their various attacks, and the Kuwagamon let out one more deafening scream before falling limply to the ground. The ground below them reverberated with the echoes of the monster's fall.

"Holy shit, did that just happen?" Matt asked, eyes wide in disbelief.

"FUCK YEAH THAT JUST HAPPENED! COME HERE BUDDY! You were awesome!" Tai gave Agumon a giant bear hug.

"THAT WAS FUCKING EPIC! YEAH PATAMON!" TK high-fived Patamon before hugging him as well.

"Biyomon! I'm just so glad you are alright!"

"Prodigious!"

"Palmon, thank you! You saved our lives!" Mimi planted a small kiss right on Palmon's nose while the small digimon beamed with pride.

"Oh thank god! We're alive! We're alive!"

The celebration was short lived however as the Kuwagamon jumped to its feet, very clearly pissed at the situation.

With another deafening screech, the monster lurched forward and jabbed at the ground with it's pincers.

"Why do I have a shitty feeling about this?" Jyou mumbled as the ground started to shake around them.

From the point of contact, hundreds of little cracks started to appear like the special effects in a very low budget apopcalypse film about monster earthquakes.

Oh FUCK! What now?!

The cliff on which they were standing in started to break off from the rest of the mountain and in what felt like slow motion started to fall down into the raging river below.

OH FUCK, I GUESS WE'RE GOING WITH OPTION 1?! SUICIDE BY RIVER!

"THIS IS BULLSHIT! I FUCKING HATE THIS PLACE!"

Please R/R. :)
