Yolei lay in her room, cross-legged on her bed, typing on her laptop lazily. She wasn't really writing or typing anything, just tapping her fingers on the keys. She was so bored, she felt as if she was going to crack soon if nothing exciting would happen. She rolled onto her back, placing a hand on her head. Poromon looked over to Yolei, noticing her boredom.
"Yolei, whats wrong? I sense more than boredom."
Yolei shook her head, but there was more to her than boredom. She was worried about the Digiworld, which was newly discovered. She felt as if something bad was going to happen. Bad vibes. And this Digimon Emperor was going to do something to change all of the Digidestines' lives forever. But, why did she feel this? Was she paranoid? Or was she going crazy? Poromon looked concerned, and Yolei eyed the small Digimon. And, especially, she felt something really bad was going to happen to Poromon. Closing her eyes and placing her hands on her head, she shook her head, and muttered curses under her breath. Yolei was having a major migraine just then, and it kept growing. Poromon perked up finally, for Yolei was groaning loudly in agony.
"Yolei..?"
Suddenly, the digidestined looked up. She was sitting on a rock, in a gray ocean, with rocky walls surronding. Yolei, looking around in surprize, yelled for help. Nothing came from her mouch. She suddenly held her throat. Not a sound was made. Did she go deaf? Lose her voice? She closed her eyes and fell down off the rock and into the ocean.
"Where did everyone go? What happened? Poromon? Mom? Dad? HELP!"
She heard herself that time, and looked up. She was back in her room, on her bed, and beside her was a scared Poromon. Yolei twitched. Thats all she could do at the time, for her brain seemed to freeze from fear. Poromon sighed.
"Maybe you should go visit Kari," the digimon suggested. Yolei was then, fully brought back to reality. She nodded in agreement to Poromon, and rose from her position slowly, as if a zombie. She grabbed her D3 Digivice and walked out her bedroom, not blinking one bit, not flinching, not even breathing. Poromon just stared, scared and surprized.

Yolei walked up to the Kamiya's apartment door and knocked on it. She felt strange and saw strange things on the trip there on the bus. She saw things freeze in motion. Automobiles who were speeding down the road one moment were stopped in time the next. People who were buisily walking down the sidewalk were frozen in position for about a second, and then they continued like nothing happened. And she even saw a Biyomon in the swarm of the people, who seemed to be reading a newspaper and smoking a cigarette. This scared Yolei a bit, and knew something was going to happen. She wasn't imagining it. She was seeing it. And every time it happened, she held her head in agony again, suffering from pains in her head.
Her thoughts were put on pause as Tai answered the door, dressed in his soccer uniform. Yolei blinked. She simply blinked. And suddenly, she saw the ball in Tai's hand was not a ball. It was a Tsunomon, who had red eyes and was drooling blood. She stood frozen for a few seconds, and the Tsunomon was replaced by an ordinary soccer ball. Tai waved his hand infront of Yolei's face.
"Hell-ooo? Anyone there?" Tai asked. Yolei snapped out of it, and giggled in embarrasment and scratched the back of her head.
"Yeah, im here," she studdered. Tai opened the door wider to let Yolei inside. She stepped inside timidly, and Kari looked up from her computer.
"Hi, Yolei," she said. Yolei sensed a hint of concern in her voice, and she felt something was wrong. Kari perked up. "Its good you came now, I was just about to call you."
Yolei opened her eyes, as she just popped back to reality. She looked about, then to Kari. "Oh, uh, whats up?"
"I got an e-mail from Davis. The Digimon Emperor is destroying things again! Or, atleast, his Digimon are.." Kari responded, and afterwards, both of them froze. Yolei noticed Kari was staring into her eyes. She seemed to be reading her mind like a book. Time seemed to freeze again, for a feeling of pause urrepted around them. Kari finally blinked, and said lowly, "You've been there too, haven't you?"
Yolei looked at Kari, puzzled. How.. did she.. know? "Wha? What do you.. how do you.." she noticed Kari wasn't buying her act. Yolei sighed and muttered something, and finally nodded.
"Ive been there too.." Kari said, looking up at Yolei again. "In the ocean. It was horrifying.."
Time seemed to stop again, and Yolei closed her eyes. Oh, why'd she bring up that shit again? she said angrily in her mind. I want to forget about that. I want to live on without that damn memory! I want to be normal again.. what is happening to the digidestined? Is this Ken's doing? Hell, does this have ANYTHING to do with the Digiworld?
Kari nodded. "Yes, it does have something to do with the Digiworld, but Ken isn't causing this." Yolei looked at her, surprized. "How did you-? What, are you some freakin' psychic?"
"I.. dont know. I just.. could hear you talking in your mind.." Kari muttered under her breath in a sheepish manner. "Im just kinda fucked up in the mind?" she said, saying it more of a question than a statement.
Yolei was also shocked by Kari dissing herself. "No, your not!" Yolei said, raising her fists. "Damnit, this is probably what made Ken go nuts! Speaking of Ken, lets get our arses into the Digiworld, we can talk about this later! They need us!" Kari nodded in agreement.

Kari and Yolei were transported into the Digital World. There, Davis, Cody, and TK with Flamedramon, Digmon, and Pegasusmon were battling a DarkTyrannomon with a Dark Spiral around its left arm. Beside the two girls were their Digimon, Hawkmon and Gatomon. They Digivolved into Aquillamon and Nefertimon (A/N: I don't like to get into detail with this stuff, cause everything else I do o.o;;) and charged at DarkTyrannomon. The Dark Digimon simply swiped them away with its left claw, sending Aquillamon and Nefertimon bouncing back to their Digidestined. Both girls simply stood there, frozen in fear as their own digimon were about to impact on them.
Davis, noticing the situation, yelled "KARI! YOLEI! Look out!" As the words left his mouth, both Digimon flung into Yolei and Kari, sending them pummling about 10 feet and landing hard on the ground. Yolei rose up after 30 seconds or so, and noticed Kari was knocked unconcious. She grabbed Kari from under Nefertimon, and ran from the scene, knowing the Digimon were too weak to battle. But, the DarkTyrannomon wasn't quite finished with them yet. He inhaled in a bit, and flames emerged from the sides of its mouth. Davis, TK, and Cody commanded their Digimon to stop the enraged Digimon, but the DarkTyrannomon let out a giant orb of fire from his mouth, hitting the Digimon. Flamedramon, Digmon, and Pegasusmon pummeled to the ground, suffocating slowly from the ashes logged into their throats and the burns on their skins left the scent of raw hide linger in the air, almost poisoning the Digidestined. The fire ball hit into the forest where Yolei ran into for shelter, and sent it into a festival of flames. Yolei fell to the soft ground, dropping Kari. They were trapped inside a burning forest that would kill them for sure if they didnt get out..
Yolei woke up, only to be choked by the thick smoke surronding her. Beside her was Kari, just regaining conciousness as well, rubbing her head. Surrounding both girls was the flickering of the crimson flames that left them trapped and helpless. Above them hovered Aquillamon and Nefertimon, looking down at their human partners, but were unable to come to their aide without being trapped as well. Yolei shook her head in confusion, and held it. The world began to spin. Fast. The Flames whirred around her like demons dancing arond her, not letting her escape. Then the world caved in on her, and a giant wave of energy striked her. It wasn't fire. It wasn't water. Nor wind. Nor rock. It just felt like a power punched her in the back and entered her stomach, and it crawled up her spine and to her brain, causing yet another major headache. She groaned and opened her eyes, and much to her surprize, there was nothing. Nothing. It was all white, and there was nothing. Closing her eyes and hoping she'd go back to the Digiworld, she only ended up in that damned ocean again. When she opened her eyelids again, they flickered at the sight of the water again. Yolei tried to scream, but again, nothing came out. Then the flames danced again, in the water. She was now on the point of killing.
Kill.. said a familiar voice. Yolei looked up to the sky, to see Tai's image. His eyes were a crimson grey with a hint of blood red in it. His face was mangeled in blood, with tiny dots of green here and there, a hint of rot.
That is.. your destiny.. Yolei.. fulfill your purpose.. the image muttered in a deep, yet soft voice. These Digidestined.. these digimon.. you know they are not real. You don't need them if they aren't real. They will not get out of your way.. until.. you.. KILL.. them!
Yolei stood in pure shock. This can't be happening.. she thought. This is all an illusion. But it seems so real.. another sharp pain ran down her spine. I need the digi- she winced in pain. Another shock. -destined.. and the digi- Another pain. -mon. And they need- a heavier pain shocked her entire body, and she fell to her knees, holding her stomach. She now understood. It was then, her brain triggered a sense of emotion she never felt before, until now. They don't need me. It is all an illusion. The Digiworld, HAH! My ass! If they dont get the fuck out of my way, Ill MAKE THEM! BY FORCE! Yolei's eyes narrowed, her eyes turned red, and she held up her fists into the air. ILL KILL THEM! as those words left her mouth, she found herself in the burning forest yet again.
