A/N: Part two is finally complete! Now...there'll four parts to this. Part three is as long as part two and part four is the shortest. Please review, so I can know how people feel about this:)

Kari was jolted awake when lightning struck a telephone pole nearby. She sat up, covered in sweat. It wasn't just the storm that awoke her, it was her nightmare. It was always the same thing, for three years. She didn't have the dream every night, but often enough so that she wouldn't forget it. It always featured Tai, but…he wasn't…Tai, exactly. He had a cold, cruel laugh. His hair was short and trimmed, and it was…blonde. Tai was a brunette. That wasn't even the worst. She always heard screams in the background…like they were his…victims. But also, he…he had yellow eyes. Eyes that showed malice…evil…hate. This Tai was a monster. A horrible, horrible monster…and he wasn't alone. No, the black cloaked figure had a friend. One that was younger than him. As Tai aged in her dreams, so did this mysterious boy. He had natural blonde hair and was, scarily, about her age. There was also a digimon with them, actually, two. But one of them was…faded, vague, or fuzzy. That was the only real difference, aside from the aging and the increase of the screams, was that of that digimon's form from dream to dream. She looked over at the clock…and it was out, lightning must have done that. Great. Kari thought. Just great.

T.K. was fast asleep when he rolled out of bed. He hit the ground with a loud thud.

"Ouch…," he muttered. He could hear distant thunder, so the storm was coming or it had already passed…his mind wandered to his friends…namely Kari. See, he was worried about her. She had these, oddly specific nightmares. T.K. then heard someone at the door.

"Who's there?" T.K. asked, and then realized he was still on the floor. He pulled himself up and was sitting on his bed when Matt came in.

"I heard a thud, so…you okay?" Matt asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," T.K. said as he grinned.

"Something bothering you? Please…I owe you, because you did help me through my break-up with Sora," Matt said. T.K. sighed.

"It's Kari." Matt raised his eyebrows at that.

"Her nightmares…"

"Oh…"

"What'd you-you know what, never mind," T.K. said. Matt looked over at the calendar. There was a date circled.

"Oh yeah…today's the…I'm not sure what to call it. Maybe you can talk to Kari then," Matt said as he patted T.K.'s knee. T.K. felt really tired and saw that the clock said three o'clock. He really should…and he was out before he even hit the pillow.

Sora nearly screamed out as she sat straight up. Her heart was beating fast, and she was breathing particularly hard.

"Just a dream…all just a dream…," Sora muttered to herself. Though this 'dream' had really taken place threeyears ago…when Izzy died...when Agumon, Tentomon, and Gabumon…died, it was a memory…a nightmare. And…they never did find out who was there. Because, the boy couldn't have hurt Izzy...He was there in front of them…he had to have had a partner. But Sora thought, what kind of partner? Who would kill a boy and his digimon, who would turn a little boy into a killing machine, if, that is, this mysterious partner had caused the change in the little boy. The only people who knew of the digital world that were missing at that time…who are still alive…are, or were…Tai, Willis, and Ryo. Tai…Tai really could be anywhere. He had walked out, and it was possible he was…well…dead. Willis was most likely still in the digital world. How he got there was the question. And Ryo…no one had seen Ryo since he had chased someone down the street and they had mysteriously vanished.

Ryo wouldn't have corrupted Willis…right?

Sora didn't know what to think…didn't know what to do.

Ken and Cody were asleep, blissfully unaware of their friend's inner turmoil. Joe watched them with envy. He was only out of school because someone had exploded the science lab and it needed to be repaired. He frowned, and wiped his glasses on his pajama shirt. His hair was longer, and he had a brief thought that he should cut it. One of the two boys rolled over, startling Joe. It was Ken.

Ken had come forward to the Digidestined, showing his digivice, and explaining that he was friends with Ryo Akiyama…or was, at least. So, they welcomed him. Joe was upset because Mimi had disappeared, and this bothered all the other Digidestined. It didn't bother Ken as much, though it still did, and it didn't really bother Cody and Yolei. Ken and Cody were here because one, Ken's parents were out of town, and two, Cody was his foster brother.

You see, three years ago, several digimon came to the real world. These digimon caused all the power throughout the world to go out, and…people who would have become Digidestined died. Expect Cody and Yolei. Cody, because he had just left his house when they attacked and Yolei was because they, the Digidestined, got there in time. There were no fatalities in her household. Joe blew his hair from face. He probably needed to go to sleep. Lightning flashed across the sky, and Cody woke up screaming.

Oh dear…

Yolei was awake, one of her siblings had started screaming when it began thundering, and she was now trying to go back to sleep.

It wasn't working. She started to drift off, when a bolt of lightning nearby. The house rattled and Yolei had to keep herself from yelling out.

Why didn't this storm just end?

Mimi was covered in muck…and blood. She was running away from…from him. The thing named Kaiser was hunting her down. She had come through here by mistake, and before she could return to the real world and tell her friends that the digital world was open once more, Kasier found her. The sixteen-year-old tripped and fell flat on her face.

"There she is!" the boy that accompanied Kaiser shouted.

"You are finished," Kaiser said, suddenly next to her and in her ear.
