Don was up in his make-shift lab with Tentomon, going through the new programs on the laptop that Gennai had installed.
His family was asleep, Digimon curled up beside them.
Kitty was curled up with a white cat she'd claimed to have found while they were gone.
Don had checked up on her a couple hours ago, but he failed to notice the small cat was missing, as well as the strange beeping device under the couch…
Tentomon would sometimes ask why he'd stay up so late, but would stay quiet for the most part, sleeping or getting Don to get him a snack.
Tentomon was sleeping on Don's make-shift bed nearby at the moment, when a map opened up, a mini-Gennai appeared as well.
"There's an unidentified Digimon down by the harbor! You're the only one awake!"
Don muttered something crossly under his breath, attaching his Digivice to his belt and shaking Tentomon awake.
"Come on, buddy. We've got a Digimon problem." Don stated as he packed up the laptop, Tentomon sitting up and yawning beside him.
He walked towards the front door, Tentomon behind him, when he heard a slight cough.
He whirled around, seeing Kitty.
"Oh! Uh…hey, Kitty…" He greeted sheepishly, waving slightly.
"Where do you think YOU'RE going?" She asked, tapping her foot, her hands on her hips.
"Um…out?"
Her violet eyes narrowed slightly.
"An evil Digimon is rampaging out there somewhere and you're the only one awake, so you're gonna go by yourself to fight it."
"…How do you DO that?"
"It's a gift." She answered casually.
"…Be careful, Donnie…Don't want you to come back missing anything, right?"
Don nodded.
"Alright…you stay here and stay safe, 'kay?"
Kitty nodded, kneeling down in front of Tentomon.
"Keep him safe for me, Tentomon…"
He nodded, and she put a hand on his head.
"Thanks…now off with you two. There's a Digimon that needs to be taken care of."
She smiled, waving as the two left.
"…Now where's that cat?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don and Tentomon had stopped at the warehouses, a horrible smell smacking into them like a freight train.
"Ewwwwwww!! What's that smell?!"
"It's Raremon!!"
The ground shook as the disgusting Digimon pulled itself out of the water.
"…EWWWWWWWWWWW…"
He thought he saw a shadow pass by his feet, but he ignored it when his Digivice started beeping.
"The eighth child is nearby!"
"We can't lose that signal! I'll take care of Raremon while you get the child!"
Don nodded, running after the signal.
"Tentomon, Digivolve to…KABUTERIMON!!"
Don followed the signal at the fastest pace he could manage, but he soon lost it.
"Shell!!!!"
He ground his teeth in frustration, putting his Digivice on his belt.
"Look who's here!"
He looked up in surprise, seeing Demidevimon, a crest and tag around his neck.
The crest was pink, a star-like design on it.
'The eighth child's crest?'
"You're big bug friend isn't here to protect you!"
Don backed up, his shell hitting a warehouse wall.
"KABUTERIMON!!!!!"
"DONNIE!!!!!"
Demidevimon panicked as Kabuterimon appeared behind him, and flew off.
"Come on, Kabuterimon! We've gotta go tell the others!"
Don jumped onto his partners back before the large bug Digimon flew off.
'I hope we find the eighth child soon…we're starting to run out of time…'
