As everyone left the floramon village, Sora kept thinking about how Takato and Takuya were wearing goggles much like Tai and Davis had done before them. Joe was thinking how much he would have to catch up in his studying if he was going to take his final next year, and everyone else was wondering how long this mission would take.

As Ken crawled through the ducts above the castle cells, he asked that everyone give him wormmon while he looked for another entrance to grab their digivices.

"Ah! Fresh air" said Ken as he landed outside the castle. "Now let's see" said Ken as he peeked around the corner. What Ken saw was a big steel door in front of him and another one from where the others were being held. "Wonderful! said Ken, this could take awhile."

Meanwhile the other digidestined had just entered a forest with road sins hanging on them, "does anyone have a feeling of déjà vu?" asked Matt as he recalled their first trip though this forest.

"That means we're near the yokomon village now isn't it?" asked Sora.

"Yeah but I don't think we can go any farther," said Tai as he looked at nothing but a huge void where the desert used to be.

"What's going on" asked Mimi as her bracelet started to glow and she stretched out her hand? Suddenly the orb that she had received earlier shot out, and everyone saw as it gave back the desert they all knew.

"I guess that answered my question," said Mimi as they continued across the desert.

"Tai is that a sand storm in front of us?" asked Sora as they saw a stationary storm about 10 yards in front of them.

Tai quickly pulled out the new pair of goggles Sora had bought for him last year as he suggested that he should go though the sandstorm while everyone walked around it. No one could see Tai as he walked further in and disappeared in the sandstorm.

"Could anything get worse?" asked Joe as they stayed around the perimeter of the storm.

"It just did," said a female voice behind them.

Everyone turned around to see what looked like a woman with purple hair, wings, and a visor over her eyes.

"Who is that Izzy?" asked Sora as she grabbed her bracelet.

"My name is unimportant said the digimon as she aimed her arms at them and shouted out her attack "Hurricane blades" as miniature tornadoes flew out.

How will the digidestined fare against Kazumon and where is Tai?
