The phone rang. It was about 4:25 a.m. and the blonde haired, 12 year old boy, Takeru, grabbed the phone immediately as if he expected the call.

"Taiichi?"

"Yeah."

"You called 10 minutes late!"

"I know, but Koushirou didn't find out the problem in the digi-world until around 4:10."

"So.?"

"So we're leaving for the digiworld at about 6:30. Meet us at the camp where we met."

"That serious, huh?"

"Yeah. The force that kidnapped Hikari is stronger than we expected."

"So how long are we staying in the digi-world?"

"I dunno. Pack for about a couple of weeks. We can always wash our clothes there."

The two boys hung up and Takeru started packing.

At 6:20, Takeru left. He guessed that 10 minutes would be enough time on bike, but when he got to his bike, he found that it had a flat tire. Damn, he thought. Now he would have to run.

Half way there, he looked at his watch. It was 6:28. I guess I still have time, he said to himself, doubtfully, but still with a hint of hope. After all, that was what his crest was. What he didn't know was that the portal to the digital world would be closing soon.

When he finally got to the camp, it was 6:40 and the portal closed with the opening of a new one.

"Damn them," he said, "Not one person waited for me. Not even Yamato! Good thing it's still open." He walked in the portal with his things dragging behind him. When he reached the other side, it wasn't familiar at all.
