Saving the Internet

Part 1

"Beep, beep!" Izzy looked up from his homework to see that someone had sent him an e-mail. Typing in a couple things, he brought the e-mail up, and saw that it was from Gennai. I hope nothings wrong in the Digi-world, he thought.

It had been a month since the Digidestined had gotten home after beating the Dark Masters. Izzy hoped that they would never have to go back there.

He quickly scrolled through the message. "Oh no!" he jumped up and grabbed the phone. "Tai? Meet me down at the park immediately!"

Mimi came running up to the group of seven other Digidestined half an hour later. Leaning over, she tried to catch her breath. "Just why did you call us down here, Izzy? I was just about to paint my nails!" she complained.

"Well...you see...It seems that the Dark Masters have reappeared..." he began slowly, not knowing how the others would take this.

"What!?!? I thought we defeated them! Do you mean to tell me that we battled them and supposedly defeated them for nothing!?!?" Tai screamed.

"Tai! Calm down and let Izzy finish!" Sora tried to calm Tai.

"So. What are they trying to do now?" Matt asked.

"Ya! Is it the Digiworld or the real world that needs us now?" Joe added.

"Neither! It seems that it's the Internet world that needs us now!"

"The Internet?" Tai asked incredulously.

"Tai! Quit interrupting!" Kari exclaimed.

"Sorry!" Tai muttered.

"Anyway, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted..."

Tai glared at Izzy. "I was just curious!" Everyone sighed.

"Now. As I was saying, the Internet needs us. It seems that the Dark Masters are deleting things off the Internet!"

"What kind of things?" Matt questioned.

"Fan Fics!" Izzy replied. "The Dark Masters are deleting Fan Fics off the Internet!"

"You mean all those wonderful stories that people write about us?" TK asked.

"Yes, TK." Came Izzy's reply.

"So? What are we supposed to do about it?" Mimi asked.

"Well...It seems that Gennai wants us to minimize ourselves and shrink into the Internet connection on my laptop...Just like the Dark Master did. Then, we're supposed to defeat them before there's nothing left for all our Fans to read!"

"You mean I'm supposed to shrink myself!?" Mimi asked almost angrily. "And how do you suggest we do that?"

"With this program that Gennai sent us!" Izzy explained. "Oh! And Gennai also says that we may meet our selves in the Internet...Only not us but different us's..."

"Matt? What does he mean?" queried TK.

"I mean just this." Izzy answered TK. "Since we're trying to save fanfictions, we're might have to enter some of the fanfictions that people have written. So, we may meet ourselves, only, like I said before, they won't be the real us...Just story copy's of ourselves."

"Oh. I still don't get it..."

"What he means, TK, is that you might see yourself from other peoples point of view," Matt explained.

"Exactly!" Izzy agreed. "Now. I suggest we all go home, and meet back here in..." Izzy glanced at his watch. "Two hours. Pack everything that you think you might need. We might be gone for quite awhile!"

Mimi sighed and looked around her room. What should she pack? She walked over to her closet, and pulled out a pink gym bag. Into this, she threw her hairbrush, nail- polish collection, a stack of magazines, and several changes of clothes. There was no way that she was going to wear the same thing over and over like she'd done in the Digiworld. And she absolutely had to have her nail polish. Who knew when she'd want to paint her nails so that they'd match with what she was wearing? And her magazines...She'd definitely want to read those!

What else should she bring? She couldn't think of anything else. So in other words, she was ready to go.

"Food!" she exclaimed to herself. "How could I be so stupid? Wait a minute...I'm not stupid..."

She hurried into her kitchen, grabbed an arm full of food, and hurrying back into her room, dumped it onto her bed.

"Oh great!" she muttered to herself. "How am I going to find enough room to fit everything I need into this one bag? Of course," she continued, "I could take two bags...no! There's no way I'm going to carry two bags!"

Sighing, Mimi pulled her magazines and nail polish out, and managed to stuff the food in. "I guess I don't really need these..."

"Anyway, when would you find time to paint your nails and read magazines?" Palmon finished for her

"I guess your right," Mimi sighed.

Then, Mimi heard a knocking sound at her door. "Come in!" she called over her shoulder while doing up the zipper on her bag.

"Hey, Mimi!" Matt greeted her.

"Hey Matt!" she gave him a quick kiss.

"So, what are you brining?" Matt questioned.

"Well...At first, I was going to bring my nail polish and magazines..."

Matt started laughing almost hysterically.

"But then, I couldn't fit any food or anything like that in...So I had to take the nail polish and magazines out," she said the last part wistfully.

Matt just laughed harder.

"It's not funny! I was going through a major crises!" Mimi retorted.

When Matt was finally able to put on a straight face, he choked out, "That's my Mimi!"

"Well, anyway, I guess we'd better get going!" Mimi picked up her bag and walked to the door of her room.

"Bye, Mom!" she called as she, Matt, Palmon, and Gabumon hurried out the front door.

"Good! Now we're all here!" Tai exclaimed as Joe and Gomamon came hurrying up to the group.

"We need to find a place where no one will see us..." Izzy's voice trailed off.

"Right!" Sora replied. "I know a good place!" Sora led them a little ways away to a secluded part of the park, hidden behind trees and bushes.

"Okay, I'm going to load the program that we need now," Izzy fiddled around with his computer for a minute, then looked up. "All right! It everyone ready?"

After everyone's nods of agreement, Izzy clicked on an icon, and turned his laptop to face them. A beam of light shot out at them, minimizing them, and then carrying them into the computer, sucking them in through the disk drive.

Mimi looked around. After several minutes, they had been dumped into Izzy's Internet connection. All around them were wires. Placed closely together in between wires, were what looked like doors. Mimi pointed them out to the rest of the group

"Those doors lead into the fanfictions that will eventually be deleted by the Dark Masters," he explained. "That means that the Dark Masters are somewhere through one of those doors.

"So, in other words, they could jump out at us at any time," Tai translated.

"Yes!"

Mimi moved a little bit closer to Matt as Tai walked up to the first door on the right side and slowly pushed it open.

So? What'd ya think? Please review!
