New Threats-Part I
The trolley glided easily through the double gate while the eight Digidestined children took a final look at their Digimon. Then the gate snapped down behind them with a heavy clang and the Digiworld disappeared behind them.
The trolley was moving at an incredibly fast rate, making the scenery outside little more than a smeared blur.
"We did it. I can't believe it's over," Mimi stated, still overcome with her emotions. "I'm really going to miss Palmon."
"Someday we'll be back," Tai stated. "I've got a feeling that gate isn't going to stay closed forever."
"Look! We're almost home!" Kari shouted, pointing out the front window of the trolley as they flew through the air.
Japan was coming into view and then their hometown of Odaiba.
Sora squinted her eyes and slowly stated: "something's not right."
Matt looked out the window to Odaiba and saw that something was definitely amiss. From way up here, he couldn't place it, but as they drew closer and closer, it became more and more apparent: the ground seemed to be made of a seething mass of pure black.
"What's happening?" TK cried, also noticing the sea of black.
"They look like people," Izzy murmured.
And as they came even closer, all eight of them realized that Izzy was correct. The enormous pulsating black area was made of hundreds of people, decked in all black, their faces obscured by black mesh masks. They were jumping up and down and flailing their arms in the air like some crazy mosh pit.
The trolley abruptly hit the earth behind the mass of people, kicking up dust and clods of dirt. The eight children could not see the people stop what they had been doing and turn simultaneously toward them because the dust cloud had risen around the windows. This did not mean they could not hear them as whispers erupted through them, growing louder and louder until it became a loud roar.
"This doesn't look good," Joe muttered as the dust slowly cleared.
The people's faces, though hidden by the masks, seemed to be burning with hatred. The whisper was hushed down suddenly and they all stood glaring at the trolley.
A strong, loud voice boomed: "well don't just stand there, you idiots! Go see what it is!"
Twenty of the masked people raced toward the trolley.
"What should we do?" Mimi fearfully whispered.
"I want out," TK quivered, running down the aisle to the door.
"TK, come here," Matt hissed, catching his little brother by the arm and pulling him back to his side.
Joe was trying to roll down a window far enough to climb out, but at that moment the door slid open and three of the masked people stalked inside.
All eight children looked at each other, then at the masked figures, then back at each other again before Tai stepped forward and stated: "hello. Uh, I know this must seem a little uh... weird."
"Weird does not begin to describe it," one of the people barked. It was impossible to tell which had spoken.
"We didn't mean to interrupt whatever you were doing," Tai insisted. "If you would just go back to your group, we'll leave you alone, right guys?"
The seven other children quickly nodded and began to step forward.
"Not so fast!" another voice shouted as Tai started to push past them. They grabbed his arm and turned him so he was facing them. "What's your name?"
Tai looked back at the other seven children, eyes wide, wondering if he should tell the truth. Finally, he mumbled: "Taichi Kamiya."
A gasp ominously echoed through the trolley and two of the masked people began mumbling to each other before the other barked: "silence!" They turned to the other seven children and loudly continued: "If he is Taichi "Tai" Kamiya, then that would make you Mimi Tachikawa, and you Yamato "Matt" Ishida, you Sora Takenouchi, you Hikari "Kari" Kamiya, you Takeru "TK" Takaishi, you Joe Kido and you Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi, am I correct?"
The seven other children warily nodded and he continued: "then you are the Digidestined?"
Again, the children nodded.
Silence rang in the trolley for quite some time until the seemingly leader of the masked people cried: "get them!"
The two other masked people darted forward, trying to catch hold of one of the other Digidestined's arms. They quickly jumped out of the way and Tai twisted out of the leader's grip.
Joe immediately went back to wrenching the window open and with a jerk it was opened.
"Quick, everyone, lets get out of here!" he cried, forcing himself through the small gap.
One by one the other children squeezed through the window until they had all escaped from the trolley.
The masked people were racing from the trolley after them.
"Come on," Tai muttered, racing around the trolley and out of view of the masked people.
The eight children quickly ran away from the trolley and the masked people, and then raced to the park, being careful to stay out of view.
Once they had reached the park and escaped the masked people, Matt wondered: "so what is going on? How could something have happened while we were gone? Shouldn't it be in the same hour we left?"
"I don't know," Izzy admitted. "But it's obvious SOMETHING has happened."
Izzy began walking slowly away from the group.
"Where are you going?" TK called after him.
"Home," he shouted back. "Maybe our parents know what's happening."
The former Digidestined quickly set off for their homes...
