Chapter 6: Tensions Arise

-Joe's Apartment-

Joe ran over to the bedside. Mimi was tossing and turning in her was screaming out for Joe, like something terrible was happening. Joe gently shook her trying to awaken her from her nightmare.

"Mimi, Mimi I'm here now. Please wake up."

Mimi slowly began to open her eyes. When she saw Joe standing in front of her, she threw her arms around him and began to cry. Joe was shocked by this reaction.

"Joe I was so scared. I thought I had lost you for good this time!" Joe kissed her forehead.

"Mimi it was only a dream! I'm never going to leave!" Joe said and looked into her brown eyes. He began to wipe away her tears. "I promise you that!"

Mimi looked into his blue eyes. They were so filled with kindness that she couldn't help but believe him even though she knew that promise was almost impossible. She leaned in and kissed him.

Mimi got out of Joe's bed and followed him out to the living room where all the other digidestined where waiting for them. Everyone was glad to see that she was alright. Sora, Kari and Yolei ran up and hugged her. Mimi hadn't seen the younger digidestined except TK and Kari in three years. It was so nice to be all together as a big group again.

After a few minutes of catching up Tai called everyone's attention back to why they were all together again.

"Everyone I'm so glad to see you all once again. I wish we could be meeting under better circumstances but it seems like once again we need to save our world and the digital world. I don't know what's going to happen but I do know we must fight till the end!"

Everyone nodded to show that they agreed with Tai.

-Digital World-

At the same time all the Digidestined were meeting chaos broke out in the Digital World. The whole digital world was being reconfigured like during the time of the Dark Masters.

Digimon were trying to escape this evil in threat. Somehow in the reconfiguration of the digital world the portal to the real world was opened. Countless numbers of digimon were flewing through the gate only to reek havoc in the real world.

Gennai watched the chaos and signed. He quickly went into the house and began an email to Izzy

Izzy trouble in digital world! Please help! If the digital world is destroyed your world will be next!

He sent the email. This was going to be the toughest battle of the digidestineds lives. For once Gennai was not sure if they had the power to defeat this growing darkness but he knew they would fit to the very end. They were their last hope!

-Back at Joe's apartment-

Well Tai was giving his speech to everyone Izzy was on his laptop analyzing data. Digiports all over the world were opening and closing at alarming rates. What was worse was digimon were coming through them. Well Izzy was trying to solve this puzzling mystery Gennai's email popped up.

"Everyone I just received an email from Gennai!"

Everyone became silent as they listened to Izzy as he read out Gennai's message. "Izzy trouble in digital world! Please help! If the digital world is destroyed your world is next!"

No one spoke for a few minutes. They all sat in silence as they processed the news of saving the world yet again. Finally Davis spoke up. "Hey guys what are we waiting for lets go to the Digital World!"

"Davis, its not that simple. We need to first make a plan, we can't just rush in. We don't even know what we're up against!" Izzy said to Davis sternly.

"Well we can't just sit here and do nothing!" Davis screamed back. Tensions were rising now between the digidestined. Everyone began yelling at each other, fighting about what the team should be doing next.

Everyone was getting more and more frustrated until TK screamed "Quiet!"

Everyone was shocked by this. TK was always so patient and considerate to others. However, when it comes to the powers of darkness TK will stop at nothing to stop it.

"Arguing will get us no where. We need to all calm down, listen to each other and then decided from there." Once TK was done he sat back down.

Matt and Tai both stood up saying they agreed with TK. They had no sooner got reorganized than when the phone began to ring.

bring...bring...bring

Mrs. Kido answered the phone. She chatted for a bit and nodded before calling Mimi.

"Mimi, its your mother she wants to speak with you."

"Alright" Mimi got up from meeting. Mrs. Kido handed her the phone.

"Hello mom"

"Mimi, I've been trying to get a hold of you for 2 hours now! Where have you been?"

"Sorry mom something urgent came up."

"Oh never mind that. Your father and I want you home. Joe is fine now so we bought you a ticket for the 10 am flight tomorrow morning."

"But mom, I can't leave! Something really important has come up! I can't let the others down."

"I don't care Mimi! We want you home for the New Year!"

"I'm not leaving! I'll come home when everything is sorted out."

"Mimi Tachikawa if you do not come tomorrow I will never let you go to Japan again!"

Mimi sighed because she knew her mother was serious.

"Alright mom, I'll see you soon."

"Bye honey"

"Bye mom" Mimi put down the phone. She was so upset with her parents. She thought they would trust her more. She walked back towards the group who were just finishing up.

"Alright so its decided we will all go to the digital world tomorrow. If we find its too dangerous we will return." Everyone except Mimi nodded in agreement. Joe looked up and noticed Mimi looked a little sad.

"What's wrong Meems?"

"My parents want me to go home."

"Well I knew you couldn't stay here forever. When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow morning at 10."

"WHAT?" Everyone was surprised by this news. With Mimi leaving how were they suppose to save the digital world? They were the strongest when the whole team was together.
