THE UNKNOWN
By: Mimi Palmon Fan


"Hey Izzy, pass it over here!" Tai yelled across the field to where his teammate was being bombarded by Matt and the other members of the red team. "Not on your life Tai! That ball's mine" Sora flashed a sinister looking smile at her boyfriend as she stole the ball from Izzy and headed toward Mimi at the blue team's goal.

"Oh no! Not again!" Mimi covered her eyes as the ball flew overhead and into the net for the sixth time in a row. "Goal!" Shouted Kari. She darted across the field to join her fellow teammates in their traditional "We won the game" victory dance. As Matt, Sora, Kari and Joe danced around centre field celebrating the other four Digidestined walked over to the bleachers to rest and wallow in their five game losing streak.

"This is supposed to be a fun, friendly game of soccer between friends" Tai said whipping his sweat covered towel into his knapsack. "It's no fun when you lose all of the time" Tk pouted. "And it's definitely no fun when you're hair's a mess, you broke three nails, have grass stains on your new shorts, smell like dirty laundry, have pain in every inch of your body and..." "Ok Mimi, we get it" Tai interrupted for the sake of all of the ears of the world. "We're no good at soccer and have no fashion sense" he continued rolling his eyes. "Alright guys, let's not start this again. The eight of us were just playing a game. Who cares who comes out on top. Besides, my calculations tell me that the odds of their team winning every single game is about five thousand to one. So our possibilities of victory in the near future is more than likely" Izzy punched the keys on his laptop a few more times before shutting it off and laying it to rest beside him.

Matt and the others ran towards the bleachers to join their friends. "Hey guys, good game!" Matt stuck out his hand for congratulations. Tai returned the gesture with a solid handshake. "You too Matt!" They unpacked a picnic which they had brought along with them to the park and started to eat when a familiar buzzing sound rumbled from the Digivices. "It sounds like we're needed back in the Digiworld." Joe looked worried. "I wonder what's in store for us this time?"

The Digidestined held their Digivices out in front of them. The familiar rainbow light shone out of the clouds and lifted them into the sky. "It looks like we're going back" Tai smiled at the thought of reuniting with his old pal Agumon. A similar smile crossed the other Digidestined's faces as they to thought about their respected Digimon partner. They took one last glance at the world below before disappearing into the Heavens and landing in the Digital World.

"Hey! What's up guys?" Tai ran towards Agumon and the others eager to start his newest adventure. Each of them met up with their Digimon companions and the Digidestined were whole once again. "Who is it this time?" asked Joe. "Myotismon, Etetmon, The Dark Masters?" Joe became more and more nervous as his list of evil Digimon continued. He didn't even want to remember these names much less meet them face to face all over again. "Relax Joe." Gomamon laughed. "You guys are here strictly on a friendly basis" Biyomon added. "What?" Matt asked still unsure of why they were back in the Digiworld. "They'll be plenty of time to explain. We have a ways to go before we get to our final destination" Gabumon said reassuringly.

The group had been walking for what seemed like hours. Everyone wanted to know where they were headed but know one wanted to sound as if they had no trust in their Digimon and they heaved a sigh of relief when Izzy was the one who finally spoke up. "Why exactly are we here Tentomon?" asked Izzy who was tired of all of the suspense. "You'll find out soon enough" Tentomon replied. "C'mon Izzy, live dangerously" Tai patted Izzy on the back then ran to catch up with Agumon at the front of the pack. "He'll walk blindly into anything" Matt commented to Mimi who was becoming weary of the whole suprise thing herself. "The way he looks today I wouldn't be surprised if he got dressed in the dark. It's all wrong" Mimi retorted. Kari laughed when she heard Mimi's comment and nodded happily as they continued along.

"It seems like we've been walking forever" Sora said as she plopped herself down on the ground to rest. "I know what you mean" said Tk sitting down beside her. "Don't stop now you two we're almost there" Patamon said motioning for the kids to stand. "Patamon's right guys. Look up ahead!" said Agumon who was getting extremely excited. All of the other Digimon looked just as eager to make it over the hill just ahead. Meanwhile, the Digidestined were still totally clueless. They had no idea where they were headed.

"Whoa! Kari said as she reached the top of the hill and joined the rest of her friends who were just as stunned. "Must be some attraction if the line is this long" Matt stared in amazement. "Just how long is the line anyway? asked Joe who was already getting impatient. "I don't know. Let me take a look" Tai pulled out his telescope and surveyed the landscape. "It looks like we're getting no where fast" he said still staring up ahead.

"Go on get moving!" shouted two Warumonzimon at the head of the line. They were splitting the Digimon into two groups, one on the left and one on the right. As the Digidestined neared the front they began to worry. "What are they doing up there?" asked Kari trying to see through the crowd. "I don't know but stay close" said Tai who was beginning to fear the next few minutes. "Hold on guys it looks like we're next" said Matt watching as the two Digimon in front of them were separated. "Mimi, Tk hold my hand and don't let go."

"Hey what are you doing" Tai yelled at the beat up bears who had just shoved him and Agumon to the left and Sora to the right. "Tai!" Sora yelled to her boyfriend in distress. "Sora!" Tai yelled back helplessly. "Tk, Mimi!" Matt yelled as he was ripped away from the ones he loved and was thrown to the right along with Sora and now Joe and Kari too. "Matt don't leave me" shouted Mimi as she and Tk joined Tai and Izzy on the left side.

Demidevimon flew over head of the two groups and blasted his hypnotic waves. "Matt! No!" Mimi mumbled before giving in to Demidevimon's powers and falling into a deep sleep. The Warumonzimon carted the two sides away through a mysterious black hole on either side and disappeared into the unknown.
