(Adventure!)
Kari and Gatomon had stayed awake all night. It was hard for Kari not to worry about her friends still inside of the digital world. Especially when she's stuck here not being able to do anything. The only thing she and Gatomon could do is hope for their friends safe return. Maybe she could have done something if she had confronted that girl. Maybe their was another group of new digidestined kids who were needed to save the two worlds. No, that couldn't be it, life had only just gotten back to normal.
With so many thoughts in Kari's head, receiving a call from Yolei was a relief.
"Hello?"
And so within seven minutes, Kari and Gatomon returned to the digital world. Now it was just a matter of finding where they were meeting.
(Tamers!)
Hirokazu yawned, for once he was actually one of the first to arrive. Everyone had been called back, it was odd. "Didn't we just do this yesterday?" Kazu grumbled.
"Please take a seat and wait for everyone to arrive. This is important so you all had better listen" said with a stern expression.
Chairs had been set up because of the large group they were expecting. Everyone was to be at this meeting, the digimon, children, and their families. It really must be important if so many people needed to be involved.
"I thought we were having this discussion tomorrow," Jianliang stated, "I haven't had the chance to talk to everyone yet, let alone make a decision. Why did you move this to today?"
"It seems that this matter has become far more urgent. More tears have formed and are growing at a rabid rate. Two such breaches have even made it to our world." Yamaki seemed frustrated.
Jianliang became quiet and the room became tense.
"Momentai! What's everyone so worried about? We're not going to let the world end without a fight, so it's dumb to get so worked up over what could happen." Terriermon said, moving to stand atop one of the chairs.
Most of the chairs became filled as time passed. It seemed like hours were passing by while they waited.
"Who isn't here yet?" Takato asked, looking around.
"Let's see..." Kenta said joining him in his mental headcount. "There's no sign of Ruki yet. Hey Ryo's here this time. Juri and the two little kids aren't here again. I guess we're just waiting for Ruki."
"I guess so..." Takato agreed.
The door slammed open and an out of breath woman stood panting at the entrance.
"Who-?" Hirokazu stammered.
"I need help, please! My children are missing, the police have no leads, and Mrs. Matsuda thought you might have something. Please..." Miss Terada fell to the ground in tears.
"Reika, bring up the files we have on Ai and Makoto Terada." Yamaki ordered.
"Yes sir," she complied.
"I know that address..." Megumi said with concern. "Sir, one of the breaches went active at the Terada residence at eight sixteen pm last night. The barrier I placed went active at eight thirty-two. If those children were anywhere near the tear in that time frame..."
"I was afraid of that..." Yamaki clenched his fist.
"What...? What does that mean?" The concerned mother asked. Kenta's mother put her hand over her mouth and took her son's hand with her other.
"You don't think they went through right?" Jianliang asked nervously. The wild gang looked grim.
"It was recorded that something had fallen through the breach. I had hoped it to have been a simple house hold object..." Megumi said. She felt guilty, she was the one left in charge, she should have been able to stop it.
"But we can get them back right?" Takato demanded.
"We don't know if it's possible at this point." Yamaki looked towards the floor.
"Hey now, with the appearance of those from the breach, it's possible they can still be alive. If their digimon is with them he'll protect them while we prepare a way back. He's one of the ones who can digivolve to mega right?" Shimbumi sounded almost hopeful, but it was clear he was just trying to comfort a grieving mother.
"Please miss Terada, take a seat here. We are about to discuss the situation. No one meant for your children to be involved, but be hopeful they'll be safe." Ryo spoke up. He had been silent this entire time, but he didn't seem worried at all about the turn of events.
"A rescue mission? It's unlikely." Yamaki stated mostly to himself rather than the group in front of him. "Where is miss Ruki Makino? We need to get started now."
"I'm here." A voice called from the door. Ruki followed her mother, grandmother, and Renamon entered. Culumon followed behind them with a joyful smile on his face. He looked really out of place in their current setting.
"Sorry we're late." Ruki stated before she took her seat next to Jianliang. Reading the atmosphere in the room, she held back her comment at the pointlessness of a second meeting.
"At last, we will begin." Yamaki said as he turned to a screen. "First I'll give you all a sort briefing of what we discussed yesterday. I'd like for you all to listen silently for the time being, their will be time for questions later. Everyone understand?" Most nodded their agreement.
"We'll be quiet Mr Yamaki sir." Shaochung said not as enthusiastically as usual, Lopmon nodding hesitantly beside her.
"Good." Yamaki continued.
"Over the past five months, Hypnos has been monitoring a tear in the digital world. This tear has grown ever so slowly in this time and has now become cause for concern. If it keeps growing at this rate, the digital world will collapse entirely into it within the year. Afterwards, it wouldn't take long for our own world to follow. We have been working here to close this breach for good, but have made no progress so far. Yesterday afternoon, entities emerged from the breach and are currently inside of the digital world. These entities may be dangerous and will need to be dealt with. We do not have the resources to do both of these tasks on our own."
"You said as much yesterday, but you were going to give us until Monday to answer, why bring us all here now? Does it have anything to do with why those three went missing?" Jianliang asked.
"Three? Who's gone?" Ruki whispered.
"Ai, Mako, and Impmon went missing last night." Kazu whispered back from behind her.
"I believe I asked for no interruptions." Yamaki scolded. "But to answer your question, last night while monitoring the breach, my colleague found herself in a peculiar situation. More entities emerged from the tear, and that caused it to grow at a more rapid pace. The force of it created several new tears in the digital world and two of them inside of our own. That is the reason for my urgency. We cannot afford to wait any longer, a decision must be made from you all now." Yamaki observed the room for their reactions. "Now you all may speak." He finished.
"What about Ai and Makoto? You're sending a team to go after them right?" Takato asked.
"There is little we can do for them at this time. Sending anyone else through will only speed up the rate of our worlds collapse. For now we'll have to leave them." Yamaki said turning towards the window.
"What? No, you can't!" The missing children's mother began crying again. She was joined by a chorus of others who were outraged at Yamaki's unwillingness to help.
"I cannot risk the world for the sake of two children. I am sorry." Yamaki stated. "Please prepare your answers, discuss it with your families. I'll be back shortly." With that said, Yamaki left.

"I'm sorry, we couldn't get a hold of TK." Cody said as he and the others gathered around Izzy. Mimi had fallen asleep after staying up all night, Palmon rested right beside her.
"That's fine, someone will have to find him later." Izzy replied. "Now then, Tai, Sora, Matt, and their digimon all went through the beams. They were picked up, but for some odd reason were sent to completely different places. I suspect that the only way to go to the same place is if you enter all at once because none of them were separated from their partners. We can communicate with the others through these head sets, but we have to stay in the digital world to use them. We'll assign shifts so someone always knows what's going on. Everyone understand?"
"Yeah, I got it." Yolei said with a yawn.
"Good, no since me, Mimi, and Palmon took the first shift, who's up to taking the next?" Izzy asked.
"I guess I can take this one." Ken said raising his hand slightly. Wormmon nodded his agreement.
"Me and Gatomon can be part of the next one." Kari volunteered.
"I'll stay here for this shift. Yolei how about you and Hawkmon join Kari and Gatomonon the next one?" Cody suggested.
"And then TK can be on the one after that." Izzy said.
"Alright, I guess we go back to the human world and wait?" Yolei asked.
"Precisely, I'll go home and rest for a while. Can someone help me wake Mimi?" Izzy said.

That tamers scene took forever...But it was worth it. I'm trying to be less bias in my writing, but tamers is my favorite season.
Hello Firestar! Thank you for sticking with me, your support means the world to me. I was actually thinking about what Impmon's champion form would be, you know if he didn't just skip to mega all the time. I like that idea a lot, maybe I'll use it. I still have time to consider it, it'd let me spotlight a few of my favorite characters some more and that's always a plus. (*cough*you should send in more ideas)
Note for me when I get around to editing- Riley and Reika are the same character, choose a name and stick with it! (Probably Reika since I already said I was sticking to the sub version.) Also, learn all of the hypnos employee names along with those of the monster makers/wild bunch.
