"What is it Gennai" Davis said instantly losing all of his childishness and becoming the leader of the digidestined.

"You must come to my house immediately so I can brief you on the situation" Gennai responded, his face hardening at the thought of whatever threat there is in the digital world.

"We'll be there." Davis said holding his fist in the air and turned to walk out the door. He walked out and after a few seconds walked back in. "Where exactly is your house" he grinned holding his hand behind his head.

"Bring as many of you as you can and all of the Digimon" Gennai continued, sidestepping Davis' question

"is there any point bringing Gabumon if we can't get Matt" Asked Izzy

"Yes, bring him but I will brief you when you get here" Gennai disappeared and Izzy's computer screen went blank.

Everyone looked up to Izzy to explain what just happened

"Trust Gennai to ruin a celebration like this" Sora sighed folding her arms

"Don't worry Sora it'll be like another great adventure" Tai said trying to cheer her up.

"maybe, but who's going to eat all this food we just bought" Sora said regretfully.

"Sora do you realise who you are in the company of" Tai said with a massive grin, turning to look at Davis, T.K and the Digimon seated around the table.

"No please don't make a scene" Sora begged but Tai was already halfway through his first slice

"Dig in boys" shouted demiveemon as he dived onto the table face first in a pepperoni pizza

After just 6 minutes Davis, Tai, T.K and all of the male Digimon had devoured four medium pepperoni, 2 medium vegetable surprise's and an XXL meat feast that was bought for Demi-Veemon to share with Davis. Not to mention four sides of potato wedges and three whole garlic bread's.

"oh Digi-lord how did I manage that" said demi veemon, "better make some room"

DEMI-VEEMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… VEEMON.

The table looked in surprise at the small blue Digimon, who was now a quite bit bigger blue Digimon.

"how did you do that" Davis said with his mouth wide open. "I didn't have to use my digivice to make you digivolve"

"nope, im just a big ball of surprises" Veemon laughed.

"by my calculations, I think because he ate so much he had enough energy to digivolve all by himself" Said Izzy.

"you mean like wild Digimon do" Cody piped up. Everyone had seemed to have forgotten him in the rush to eat all the pizza.

"yes I do Cody, that's exactly what im getting at, what about Upamo…" Izzy questioned.

UPAMON DIGIVOLVE TO…ARMADILLOMON

"ok that's what happened to upamon" Izzy finished

With everyone in the restaurant looking at them Izzy pulled open his laptop, and asked yolei to do the honours.

"Digiport open" Yolei shouted and all of the digidestined and their digmon partners were sucked into the digital world. Leaving the restaurant customers looking confused and shocked at what they had just seen

~in the digital world~

"why am I always at the bottom of these pileups" Moaned Tai.

"because you always feel like you have to go off ahead and be the first one through, so that means you're the one on the bottom." Said sorry giggling

"remind me to let ladies first next time" he smiled at Sora as she helped him up

'but then that's another opportunity to see you smile that ill miss if I do that' tai thought to himself sullenly.

Tai looked around at the thick forest he could only make out hawkmon, gatomon and biyomon from the Digimon, he wondered where the rest of them were.

He brushed himself off and turned to Izzy "what part of the digital world are we in"

Izzy was staring at the forest around him, Tai put his hand on Izzy's shoulder. "what you looking at man"

"that" Izzy said bluntly, pointing into a clearing a small distance away. Tai couldn't see too well from here so he stepped a little closer, Sora turned and saw him walking away.

"no Tai, don't go off on your own" Sora cried out. Why did she say that, she had been really worried for him. More than she had been for matt that time he ran off on his own during their first trip into the digital world and Tai was going to be only 20 feet away.

"I'm fine Sora" Tai said walking backwards to the clearing smiling at her, his heart skipped a beat when he heard the worry in her voice. Maybe this overprotectiveness was her starting to feel affection for him, Tai hoped.

He turned back to the clearing and almost had a heart attack, he was staring face to face with a giant orange dinosaur,

"aaaaarrrrrrggggggh" Tai screamed running from the clearing into a protective position in front of Sora.

"What's the matter Tai, don't you recognise me" Said Greymon heartily.

"what…how did you digivolve without my help Greymon" Tai said obviously confused at the situation. He looked at Izzy for the answers but he returned the look with just as much surprise as Tai had.

"I don't quite know but maybe Gennai can explain" Izzy had said quietly as he pulled out his laptop to find a quick route to Gennai's home.

Behind Greymon was Kabuterimon, Ikkakumon, Garurumon, Angemon, Ex-Veemon, Stingmon, and Ankylomon. All of them looked surprised, but Garurumon looked pleasantly surprised at his new body but Ankylomon was on his back and seemed to be struggling to roll over.

"this is interesting" Izzy said hand on chin, silently contemplating what to do next. " how do you feel Kabuterimon"

"I feel like a million Digi-Dollars" Kabuterimon replied and if just to re-iterate his point jumped into the air and did a loop-the-loop before landing on the floor again. Ex-Veemon saw this and tried to copy it but ended up going in a full circle into a rather large tree.

"I mean do you feel like you're in the rookie stage or the champion stage" Izzy said with a slightly antagonised tone in his voice

"oh sorry" Kabuterimon said apologetically "well I'm obviously in the champion stage but it's not draining my energy and I'm really comfortable in this form" Kabuterimon did what was his equivalent to a smile, obviously no one could tell as his mouth looked like it's stretched open all the time anyway.

"what about you Greymon" Tai said excited at the possibility that Greymon was even more powerful than usual.

"I'm the same Tai, no energy drain and very comfortable, kinda like I'm still a rookie" Greymon said examining his body.

The digidestined whose partners had undergone this change had gone up to them asking how they were, Garurumon looked around and bowed his head, he missed matt it had been an awful long time since he had been this far from matt for such a long time, and now he had no-one to share this excitement with. As tears began to form from his big eye's Sora put her hand on his shoulder.

"You miss matt too, don't you" Sora said empathetically. Stroking his head like he was just a big dog.

"Yeah. It's been so long since I've been this far and for this long" He cried to her.

"Guys, I don't mean to interrupt you but we really should get going if we want to be at Gennai's before nightfall." Izzy called out

"ok I guess flying there is out of the question seeing as some of the Digimon are far to big to carry." Tai said. "I guess we're walking then, which way Izzy?"

"That way" Izzy pointed in the opposite direction to the clearing.

Tai climbed onto Greymon's mask at the same time Izzy got on Kabuterimons.

Yolei, Cody, and Hawkmon climbed on Ankylomon's back, and T.K gave Kari a step up onto Garurumon's back before him and Angemon got on. Gatomon jumped up from Garurumon's face, much to his Dismay as one of her talons cut into the side of his face.

"sorry Garurumon" Gatomon said. Garurumon just growled in response

Ken and Davis looked around, wondering where they would get a ride to Gennai's but Stingmon had already picked Ken up and put him on His back and went to stand next to Izzy and Kabuterimon.

Davis had begun to walk to Greymon and Tai, But the look Tai gave him before he glanced to Sora gave Davis all the information he needed, he looked at Ex-Veemon.

"Don't worry Davis" Ex-Veemon said placing a hand on Davis' shoulder. "I'll carry you" Davis returned this with a smile and he climbed up onto Ex-Veemon's shoulders.

Sora was just about to pull out her digivice to get biyomon to digivolve into Birdramon when Tai called her.

"what do you think you're doing." Tai shouted down to her from his high position on Greymons head, while holding onto a horn for support. "get up here there's more than enough room"

He grabbed her hand to pull her up and as his heart beat faster and many thoughts flew through his mind he forgot to hold on with the other hand and fell right off Greymon's head. Tai ended up being on the bottom with Sora on top. Everyone laughed at them. He smiled at her. She smiled back "stupid Tai" was all she said before pulling herself up. They both climbed up to Greymon's head and Biyomon was already waiting for them.

"C'mon everyone's waiting" Biyomon giggled at them.

And so they went, hoping Gennai could shine some light into the curious circumstances in which the Digimon have digivolved.
