A/N: Hi everyone, I updated last week on Monday, but got only two reviews. That made me sad. I got two reviews for my first one-shot, Birth of a Hazard, though. Birth of a Hazard is related quite heavily to this story, and the story I'm planning to be this story's prequel, so I would suggest you read it. Yes, I did wright it for English class, before anyone asks. Our assignment was to make up a Creation Myth on anything, he gave a past example of "Why Pikachu is so cute" and I asked him if I could do mine on the Digital Hazard. He agreed. Anyways, I'm rambling, on to the Story!

Last time, Kari arrived at Gennai's home, and she and the other Digidestined went through Myotismon's portal between the Digital World and the Real World. There, they found Takato waiting for them, and he acted a little suspicious, but the only one who noticed was Tai. After arriving at Highton View Terrace, the group faced Mammothmon, and Birdramon digivolved into Garudamon just in time, beating Mammothmon, as all of the kids remembered a similar fight from four years ago.

It's a Small World After All

"Mom!" Tai yelled as he entered his home, hugging her tightly.

"What's gotten into you?" She asked as she looked to Kari and Takato, both of whom gave a slight nod.

"Yeah, what's going on here?" The Patriarch of the Kamiya household walked in.

"Dad!" Tai quickly let go of his mother as he latched onto his father. "I missed you guys so much!" He told them.

"You were only at camp for a few hours." His mother told him. Then she saw a familiar pink ball. "Ooh, what kind of toy is that?" She asked pointing to Koromon, who was currently in Kari's arms.

"Oh... it's just a toy that someone gave us, a girl named Mimi, when she found out that Kari was sick." Tai hastily explained.

The Kamiya parents however, knew exactly what that ball was. It was a Digimon. "Okay." Mr. Kamiya said. He turned to Takato with a stern look, "Shouldn't you be at your own house?" He asked sternly.

"My parents are going to a funeral of a friend of theirs." Takato lied. "They told me that I should find a place to stay, and Kari volunteered to take me in until they get back."

"I don-" Tai began, but was muffled by Kari's hand over his mouth.

"I don't think we've eaten lunch either, let's go and watch some TV while we wait for Dinner." Kari quickly said as the all went over to the couch.

The Kamiya parents went into the Kitchen. "Honey, Takato is her protector." Mrs. Kamiya told her husband.

"I know, I saw the way he nodded when you asked Kari your silent question." He sighed. "I suppose that means that we should start letting her have a bit more freedom."

Meanwhile, the other three kids were flipping channels. "I don't remember any of that happening." Tai told his younger sibling.

"That's because it didn't, but just accept it, or I'll tell Mom and Dad about Koromon." Kari told him as she flipped the channel again.

A doctor put a hand on a woman's arm, "Only you or the Baby will survive. Not both, I'm sorry." He told the woman gently. Click

A detective saw his opportunity. He grabbed the waitress's arm and said, "Your tattoo is the same as the killers!" Click

A man was standing in front of a locked door with a key in his hand. He turned the key in the lock and opened the door. To his horror he saw a clown, and screamed! Click

"... monsters that destroyed the streets of Highton View Terrace." A reporter said on the news, "They say they saw a Wooly Mammoth and a giant bird made of fire, other witnesses said the saw the Hindu god Garuda fighting the Mammoth."

Tai snorted, "If they only knew..." He shook his head.

Izzy opened the door to his apartment. "Hello Mom, I'm home." He told his mother, no adoptive mother, he still remembered the conversation he heard the night before he went to camp.

"Hi dear. Why are you home so early? Shouldn't you still be at camp?" She asked.

"Camp was cancelled early because of snow." Izzy told her.

"Alright!" Tai exclaimed as he started to scarf down the rice his mother had cooked, occasionally giving some to Koromon. "More please!" He asked his mom as he held out his empty bowl.

"Really? This is your third serving!" She exclaimed as she put more rice in his bowl.

Meanwhile, Takato and Kari were in her room talking about training.

"I can't believe that I still can't Digimorph." Takato complained.

"It's just harder for you to do than it is for me." Kari soothed him.

"You're one to talk, you made it all the way to Champion on your first try." He grumbled.

"Yeah yeah, and I can reach Ultimate in the Dream World, but I need to see how far I can go in this world." Kari rolled her eyes.

"Alright, I'll create a Hazard double for you while you go out tomorrow." Takato sighed.

"Thanks." Kari gave him a peck on the cheek.

Later that night, Takato was watching the news. "This just in. Apparently, there have been sightings of strange monsters in the bay, the monsters are an unknown, and need to be investigat- Oh my gosh! That might have been one of the monsters!" The reporter pointed to Kabuterimon, who was flying away. "He does not look friendly."

A few pictures came up of a Raremon. "I hope Tentomon takes a bath as soon as he gets into Izzy's apartment." Takato said. "Raremon are filthy."

"Onto other news..." Takato turned off the TV as he curled up in a blanket and fell asleep.

The next day, everyone met at the park.

"Okay, we need to find out where Myotismon is hiding." Tai told everyone. "Now that we know Kari is the 8th Digidestined, we have an advantage over him."

"You're right." Izzy agreed. "The most logical thing to do next would be to retrieve Kari's Tag and Crest from Myotismon."

At the apartment, Kari and Takato were hanging out. "I still don't know why they wouldn't let me go with them." Kari pouted.

"They think that if Myotismon spots you with them, he'll know you're the 8th Digidestined." Takato reasoned, "Besides, I thought you wanted to test how far you could Digimorph in this world."

"I totally forgot." Kari said, "Make a clone for me in case the others get back before I do." Kari turned away, "Digimorph, Activate!" Kari changed into a small cat digimon (Gatomon). "Hmm. I guess I can only go up to Champion here."

"Go on, have some fun." Takato told her as he turned the TV back on. "I'll need a bit of time to make the clone." He muttered as he shut his eyes and focused on the Hazard. His hand glowed as red light started to condense into the form of Kari.

"Alright." Kari purred as she left the house and headed to the park.

'Humans are such simple creatures.' Gatomon thought to herself as she passed through a park, she saw several different humans playing a game with a stick and a ball. 'Although, it is troublesome that Myotismon went through all this trouble to get here, then he thinks the eighth human is in the digital world.' Gatomon jumped to the ground and padded away when she hit her head against something. "Hey watch where you're-" Gatomon began, but stopped after seeing another Gatomon right in front of her.

"Who are you?" Kari asked.

"I'm Gatomon, loyal servant of Myotismon." Gatomon announced, "But who are you?"

"That's for me to know, and you to find out." Kari grinned.

"Alright, I'll beat it out of you if I have to." Gatomon pounced.

"You'll have to move much faster than that if you want to hit me." Kari teased from where Gatomon was previously standing.

'What is this? I haven't seen anything move that fast!' Gatomon thought.

Suddenly, Kari was surrounded in a bright light as she turned back to normal. "Well, that's new." She muttered.

'Did that Digimon just turn into... a human?!' Gatomon then thought of something. 'Wait, but if this girl can Digimorph, then she must be the Eighth Digidestined.' Gatomon smiled, she would have some good news to bring to her master after all.

"Too bad, I didn't want to kill you, but now that you know what I am, I can't let you tell Myotismon." Kari sighed as she raised a hand and held her palm towards Gatomon.

"Magical Game!" A male voice shouted as Gatomon disappeared.

"Show yourself." Kari demanded coldly.

"If you insist." Wizardmon seemed to pop into view. "Eighth Child."

"A Wizardmon... interesting." Kari observed. "You don't seem like the kind of digimon to work for Myotismon, I'm guessing the only reason you work for him is that Gatomon."

"Well done, you are observant." Wizardmon clapped his hands. "That only further increases my suspicion of who your partner is."

Kari, now curious, raised an eyebrow, "Who do you think my partner is?"

"You should know, you literally bumped into each other just a few minutes ago." Wizardmon told her as his staff glowed, causing him to disappear.

"Hmm..." Kari smiled. "I'll have to keep an eye on those two." She turned as she saw explosions on top of Odaiba tower. "Hmm... I sense immense heat energy, plus MetalGreymon." She said quietly. "I guess I'll just let them finish." She turned around and went home.

A/N: Hey everyone! I updated last week because of one certain person, also, this story has more favs/follows than DPL, meaning I should be getting more than just two or three reviews per chapter! I really appreciate favs and follows, but I love reviews, they're what help me know that I'm doing good, and if I don't get enough reviews, I start feeling a little put-out. Yes, I did have Kari meet Gatomon and Wizardmon at about the same time, and I'm not ashamed. Next time, Myotismon learns that the Eighth child is in the real world again, and goes to extreme measures to find them. While Matt and TK meet Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon, two fun loving digimon that only joined Myotismon's army because they wanted to go to the real world. PLEASE REVIEW!
