(A/N):
Okay, here is the chapter.
I feel somehow stupid because it is so short again. I apologize again.
Just look at it as a ... teaser? Well, at least there is a hint of action for the future ^^
I am sorry guys *sigh*

Disclaimer:If I would own Digimon I wouldn't write a Fanfiction, right?

EDIT: This chapter is betaed now too :)

Kari and TK ran toward the school. Her mind was restless. Earlier in the day, she and TK were in the forest near the school with their partner Tomoki, doing research for their project. Their topic was not too interesting but Tomoki was a nice boy and a pleasant company, so they had fun with the research.

Well, it had been fun until she and TK received a message from Izzy.

'Come now. News to the portal.' It had said. Kari and TK hurriedly made an excuse to their teacher and Tomoki before running straight to their friends.

''News could only be good right.'' TK had said that when Kari had asked him, if something bad had happened, but Kari did not feel so sure about it. What if Izzy had found out that the portal could not be open again? What if they had no choice but let the Digital World be gone?

The thought sent a chill down her spines, and somehow she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

When the two friends arrived at the school gate, they were both out of breath but continued to run toward the other Chosen. Tai and Izzy were the only two that were currently presences; the rest was not there yet. They were waiting on the side of the schoolyard, Izzy was sitting on the bench and had his form partially blocked from view by Tai's back, so she could not see either of their expressions.

As she and TK finally closed the distance between them, Tai turned around and shot them a bewildered look. "Kari, TK! You are here already. Did you run the whole way?"

Kari panted, still trying to catch her breath, unable to answer. Next to her TK gave Tai a shaky thumb up.

"Why?"

Still gasping for breath, Kari could only stare at him in disbelief. Had he really asked why?

Behind Tai, Izzy let out a nervous laugh and scratched his head sheepishly. "Ah, I guess I was a little unclear with the message and made you think of the worst."

"What do you mean?" TK asked. His voice was hoarse but he did not gasp for air anymore.

"We have good news so you did not need to run the whole way. See, the others are not even here." Izzy smiled apologetically. "Sorry."

Kari stared at him in disbelief, then, she let out a sigh, dragged herself to the bench the redhead was sitting, and slumped on it tiredly. Good news, huh? She thought. Then, why did she still felt unsettle?

The other Chosen arrived one by one, and much to Kari's amusement, they were all out of breath from running the whole way, so Izzy had to apologize all over again. Davis even looked like he wanted to smack Izzy, but they all calmed down when the Digimon jumped out of the bushes.

Tai silenced the Digimon and humans after a minute or so, and then, he turn to Izzy. "Okay, now that we are all here: Izzy, tell them what you found out."

The computer genius nodded and smiled at the Digimon. "You can go home."

The Digimon and the Chosen stared at him.

"W-what do you mean?" Poromon asked finally.

"He means it like he said it." Motimon answered happily, already knowing what Izzy had found.

Izzy smiled at Motimon. "Yeah, I managed to open the portal."

Silence descended over them, which then broke out by the cheering from the Digimon.

"YAY! We can save the Digital World!"

"You heard that Joe?"

"You are awesome Izzy!"

Kari looked at Gatomon, who was sitting on her lap, and they both shared a smile. This was good news but... why the unsettling feeling still not goes away?

"How did you make it?"

The Digimon fell silent when Cody asked Izzy, who blushed and scratched the back of his head. "Actually, it was an accident. I tried to open it but it did not work, so I grew angry and just typed frantically until I accidentally opened the window of the program code and changed it. Then the portal opened."

Everyone gaped at him until Davis burst out into laughter.

Tai grinned. "Well then let us go into the Digital World. Izzy can you open the portal again?"

The genius nodded and opened his laptop. Kari watched how his fingers typed the keys quickly, and with every stroke, the bad feeling grew.

What was going on?

"And~, we are done!" He smiled and hit the last key, but when the laptop made an odd noise, Izzy's smile vanished. He typed again and the laptop only responded by making more odd noises. Izzy bit his bottom lips and typed again more frantically.

"What is wrong Izzy?" Matt asked. The Chosen plus Digimon gathered behind the computer genius. The monitor showed a map. An area of the map glowed bright red.

"That-that was not what happened last time!" Izzy choked out.

"What is happening then?" Ken asked.

"A portal has open but… it is not a small one. It is huge."

Kari pointed at the red glowing area on the screen. "Is-Is that our school?"

Izzy nodded. "W-what is happening here?"

The bad feeling in Kari's chest exploded.

A few seconds later, something else exploded.

The Chosen jerk their heads toward source of the noise. In the distance, the forest where Kari and TK had had their excursion only thirty minutes ago was on fire.

Next to her, Tai swallowed nervously. "Izzy… where is this red glowing area exactly?" He asked.

Izzy's voice wavered when he answered. "It is the forest near our school."

"God, what have we done?"

Okay... I told you it is short!

Of course the next chapter would come on Saturday again, so it would be two chapters this week.
You see I have the ideas for the next situations in my head and I planned to write them in this chapter but I hadn't enough time so... yeah.
If I find the time the next chapter will be on Wednesday :)
