The whole group sat around Izzy's computer; he had started to sort through
the files as soon as Gennai gave him the strange chip. Gennai had been
sleeping on the couch. Joe had dressed most of his wounds; he would live,
but they didn't know when he would wake up. They all watched and waited.
"I think I know what this is." Izzy finally said. The group gathered in closer. On the screen were tiny pictures of Digimon; each one had all its stats and other information.
"Okay, this program here is a record of every Digimon in the Digital World. It's quite interesting: we can use it to find any Digimon at any moment and look up their stats and more. But it gets better.According to this, every Digimon has a partner, or DigiDestined, like us. By searching for the Digimon we can also find their partner," he explained.
"Come again?" Tai asked.
"Okay, according to this, every Digimon has a human partner with whom they are directly linked. So using this program.by finding the Digimon we can find out about their partners.at least that's the theory. Why we want to do that is because before Gennai passed out, he mentioned something about Piedmon looking for 'their' DigiDestined. I think he meant that Piedmon has a DigiDestined; maybe all our enemies from the past did."
"Why would a creep like Piedmon have a DigiDestined? And aren't all our old enemies defeated?" Kari asked.
"Yeah, how could they not be?" Sora said.
"Well, Myotismon did come back twice." Gatomon reminded them. "And Digimon never really die.we might have to face them all over again."
"Hey, let's not jump ahead. All we really know is Piedmon is back; we don't know if any of the other evil Digimon from the past are. And we really don't know if he has a DigiDestined. What we need to do is find out," Izzy said, turning back to the computer.
"Okay, well hurry up.we don't need another Digimon Emperor-no offence, Ken," Matt said.
"I understand; the thought of a human the way I was combined with the Digital World's most evil Digimon is no comfort to me either," he agreed.
"Yeah, that would be a bad combination." Izzy concurred. "Unfortunately, it appears Piedmon isn't in the Digital World, unless he's very good at being undetected."
"Well, I wouldn't put is past him; he's a sneaky one." TK said.
"Great, he's here! He could be watching us.right now...he could be right here in this room.in fact, he could be any one of us! AHHHHHHHH!" Joe screamed, overreacting as usual.
"Joe!" Yolei cried, slapping him over the head. "Get a grip, he's not here!"
"Sorry.It's just that psycho clown freaks me out. I still can't go to the circus, and whenever I see a clown I run away." he confessed, sobbing.
"Great, I can tell you're going to be really reliable." Gomamon said sarcastically.
"Guys cut it out, I'm trying to work." Izzy chided.
"Well, how can you find him if he's here?" Tai asked.
"Simple," Izzy began. "We use this program to search the area for high energy levels.if Piedmon is here, he will show up."
"So I guess we have to wait." TK voiced.
"Not necessarily. Just because I can't find out where Piedmon is doesn't mean we can't find out who his DigiDestined is. The program still picks up information on him whether he is in the Digiworld or not, it just can't pinpoint him and it's not as reliable."
"Yeah, just like Joe." Gomamon teased.
"As I was saying, we can use it to find out where his DigiDestined, if he has one," Izzy explained. "Because the two are connected, the program would have also have known where his DigiDestined is. The only problem is, we don't know how accurate it will be."
"So how come this program can keep track of humans in the our world but not their Digimon?" Tai asked.
"Well, the program isn't keeping track of them; it's keeping track of the Digimon. Subconsciously the Digimon keeps track of their DigiDestined because they are connected; the program, however, just takes all the information, subconscious or not...Found it! Okay, the connected human was last at...Odaiba Middle School." Izzy said in shock.
"Great, the school is closed today, they couldn't be there." Davis said.
"Wait, of course they could, there is big tournament thing going on inside the school today! That's why we had the day off," Kari recalled.
"What? I don't remember that." Davis said.
"Of course you wouldn't, there's only been posters up everywhere and announcements all week!" Yolei said sarcastically. "Remember, a group of kids in our school are competing in a big competition with other schools in a whole bunch of events. You tried out for the team for goodness sakes."
"Umm, guys.Remember how I told you that we could find Piedmon by tracking high energy fields?" Izzy said nervously. "Well, there is a BIG one heading for the school!"
"Guys, let's move!" Tai shouted.
~
A young man walked regally through the streets. He was tall, wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, top buttons open, and a pair of black pants. His long, curly, blond and orange hair hung lazily over his shoulders, while his pale skin and ruby eyes seemed to shine in the sun. His mischievous smile grew as he looked down at the shiny gold object in his hand.
"I'm getting closer." he confirmed, looking back up towards the school a short walk away. "So that's where you're hiding." he whispered.
~
Tai burst though the doors of his old school, followed by TK, Ken, Davis, Kari, Yolei, and Matt. The others were still at Tai's house keeping track of the two targets.
"That.was.the.fastest.I've.ever tried to.get.to.school..." Davis gasped, collapsing against a wall. All of them were huffing and puffing. Yolei reached into her pocket and pulled out her D-Terminal.
"Okay Izzy, where do we go?" she asked as she typed in the message. The response came quickly. She looked at it for a second, then sweatdropped.
"He lost the connection." she announced.
"Man, I told Mom we need a better Internet connection!" Tai said in frustration. Noticing all the people, he added, "Wow, this place is packed."
"Okay, then we'll have to look around ourselves," Matt said. "Tai, Kari, and Yolei can make their way to the gym and the rest of us can search through the halls."
Tai nodded. "Good idea; splitting up will make this go faster. Keep an eye open for anything; remember, if Piedmon's here, he could be anywhere or anyone.So stay together!"
"Hey, wait for us!" a voice called. The group easily recognized the little orange dinosaur followed by the rest of the groups' partners.
"Hey, you were supposed to stay home," TK said as Patamon flew into his arms.
"You really don't think you're going to take on Piedmon by yourselves, do you?" he asked, smiling.
"Okay, fine," Tai said. "But remember, you're stuffed animals."
"Right!" they said together.
~
Tai, Kari and Yolei walked carefully down the hall towards the gym, watching the people around them. As they entered the gym their eyes grew wide. It was stuffed with people.
"And now the match you've been waiting for." A loud voice said, as the crowed cheered. "Odaiba Middle school vs. Timberland Middle School in the obstacle course!"
"Hey, let's try and get closer so we can see better," Tai suggested as they pushed though.
"This is a long course. They start out in a race on foot, then into the pool, and from that they go on to this obstacle course set up through these doors," the announcer said, pointing to the open doors leading outside the gym to the field. Set up there was a large a display that circled the field, then 100 meters to the finish line. All along the course people stood by the sides, watching and waiting.
"Cool!" Tai remarked, looking at the huge setup. "Hey, look Kari: some of those kids are in your class." They looked on at the two competitors, stepping up to the course. One was a boy; he was tall with blond hair and brown eyes. He smiled evilly at his female competitor.
"So are you going to lose again this year?" he questioned, smirking. "Odaiba Middle School is full of losers."
"Takes one to know one, Zack!" she yelled back. He laughed again at the small, thin girl beside him. "You know, you're cute when you're angry, but I bet you'd be cuter with blond hair instead of brown," he teased. "I have an idea.How about this: you cut the race and get a makeover, and I'll think about giving you a date with me," he said proudly. His brown eyes twinkled with the look that he had already won. She just flashed him a nasty glare from her green eyes.
"Nah.Never mind. I don't go out with losers, and you're going to lose.just like you did last year and just like you will next year," he said confidently.
"You only won because you cheated!" she accused. He smiled mischievously.
"Cheating? I call it strategy, but even that couldn't help you, girly." he mocked as he prepared his starting position.
"Tai." Yolei said, looking at the boy.
"I know, let's keep an eye on him. C'mon, we have to follow him no matter what," he replied. Kari nodded as they moved down the course ahead of the two racers.
~
The tall man stood in the gym, pointing the gold device at the two racers. It looks like I've found you, he thought, looking at Zack and smiling. "What a delightfully nasty young boy." Suddenly he heard a bang.
"And they're off!" a voice shouted. He watched in amusement as the two children began to run down the course, still very close together. He quickly followed them, just like the rest of the crowd.
~
The two began to reach the end of the first part of the course, and Zack was beginning to break away from the girl; however, she wasn't giving up easily. He dove down into the pool and began to swim like mad towards the other side. She followed closely behind him. He pulled himself out of the pool and ran towards the open doors and the main part of the obstacle course; as he was doing so, he smiled at two other boys hiding in the crowd. As the girl followed him only a few meters behind something caught her foot, tripping her. The wind was quickly knocked out of her. She looked up to see the one of the boys drop what looked like a very thin string.
"Hey, can't you at least run properly?!" Zack shouted, looking back at her and smiling like a fox. The girl glared and pulled herself up off the ground, running for all she was worth.
"Man, what a nasty kid." Kari said. "That guy would definitely make a good DigiDestined for that psycho!"
"Are you referring to me?" the regal voice said from behind her. She spun around, looking though the crowd of people. Nothing. Oh no.she thought. He's here and he's seen me.where's Tai? She was now lost in the crowd.
"Kari!" the cat in her arms said. "I know I should be quiet, but I hear it too. We've got to get to that kid before he does. C'mon!" Kari nodded, as she ran through the crowd after the racers.
~
"Well, this is getting interesting," the tall man whispered, then his eyes were diverted back to the race. The device beeped wildly in the direction of the racers. The girl had caught up. What?! he thought in anger. "How dare she."
~
"Why don't you give up?!" Zack shouted as he grabbed the rope in front of him, about to jump to the other side of a large tower. The girl said nothing, grabbing her rope and jumping across the gap.putting her ahead of him.
"What?!" he yelled as he followed her through the last bits of the obstacle course. Finally, they hit the last part of the course: a 100-meter run to the finish line. The crowed was going wild, as the two kids were almost inseparable. Zack could see the finish line becoming closer and closer. He smiled as he started to lead.
"Nice beating you again..." he huffed as he took the lead. She glared at him, and without warning sprinted out in front of the over-confident boy. He was in utter shook as the girl pulled in front of him, and with one last burst of energy crossed the line, winning. The crowd cheered. The girl dropped to her knees, her teammates crowded around her, cheering happily. The boy glared at her, then walked back towards the gym. She smiled and walked over to him, holding out her hand.
"Good race," she said, smiling. The boy stopped at the doors, then turned and glared; after a second, he spit at her.
"Fuck you!" he yelled in anger. Kari, who had now made her way out of the crowd, was trying to get to Zack. She suddenly felt a cool hand on her shoulder push her to the ground.
"I think you should stay out of this." The man glared. Even though he appeared human, she recognized his voice. He held his hand out and suddenly there was a large explosion. People ran everywhere screaming. He laughed with joy at the frantic humans. Then looked ahead to see the two racers picking themselves off the ground. He walked forward and looked down at the girl.
"Little brat." he said, kicking her violently in the side-so hard she was flung over next to Kari. Kari tried to help her, but her eyes were drawn to the evil man standing over the boy. With one hand he picked the child off the ground.
"Well hello, little one," he said, smiling.
"Who.who the hell are you?" he demanded in fear and anger. The man smiled.
"I am Lord Piedmon, and you, my child, have the honor of being my DigiDestined," he said, still smiling.
"Digi-what?" he asked in fear.
"Piedmon, you freak, you won't get away with this!" Gatomon yelled. Piedmon's smile grew as he looked over at the two girls and Digimon.
"Oh, how cute." he said sarcastically. He raised his hand, and Gatomon went flying across the field into the wall of the gym's side.
"And you." He glared at the young girls. "You will pay for beating my DigiDestined." He raised his hand again; the girl was thrown into the gym and dropped into the pool. He then tightened his hand. Kari could see through the open doors of the gym the girl struggling to get above the water. It took her a minute to realize Piedmon was holding her under the water.
"Let her go!" she cried. Suddenly, Piedmon was kicked in the stomach by the boy. In his human body he lost his balance, dropped him, and lost control of his spell. Kari sighed with relief as she saw the girl pull herself out of the water.
"My dear boy, how dare you kick your own Digimon.your own partner." he growled, trying not to lose his temper.
"What the hell are you, and what makes us partners?" he yelled. Piedmon smiled and held out the golden Digivice, pointing it at Zack. But to his surprise, it did nothing. No beeping, no glowing.it didn't react to the boy.
"What?" he questioned. Kari watched carefully. "But.through the whole race.it was beeping like mad.whenever I pointed it at." he said. It only took Kari a second to realize Piedmon's mistake. She jumped up and ran into the gym, grabbing the frightened girl on the floor and pulling her up.
Piedmon just watched in disbelief. He lifted his hand to the two girls. The device started to beep like mad. The look of disbelief and shock on his face seemed permanent. His wide eyes and open mouth was the only reaction he could give, as Kari pulled the girl into another room, slamming the door.
The slamming door instantly woke him up' he ran into the gym after them, leaving Zack outside. He ran up to the door and opened it without reading the large sign. His look of surprise grew as the screaming girls ran though the locker room, trying to cover themselves. One of them slapped him hard across the cheek, then slammed the door in his face. Piedmon glared, and began to take the shape of his true form. He then burst thought the door and ran through the locker room, ignoring the screaming girls that were trying to beat him. As he reached the end he saw another door; he burst though it as well and ran into the hall.
"Pervert!" a girl yelled, then slammed the door shut. In front of the large, shocked, and completely embarrassed clown stood TK, Matt, Davis and Ken. Their faces were blank. The group just stared at Piedmon in shock. He stared back. Finally Matt broke the silence.
"I know you're evil and all, but don't you think sneaking into the girls locker room is pushing it?" Matt said with a blank expression.
"Piedmon, I think you have too much free time on your hands.and there is a bra on your head." TK informed him. Piedmon growled in anger, then shot a blast, throwing them across the hall. As they got up, Piedmon disappeared.
~
It was now 8 o'clock at night. Piedmon sat quietly on top of a building, looking at the Digivice in his hand. It was beeping as he pointed it at the building in front of him.
"My DigiDestined is.a girl?"
"I think I know what this is." Izzy finally said. The group gathered in closer. On the screen were tiny pictures of Digimon; each one had all its stats and other information.
"Okay, this program here is a record of every Digimon in the Digital World. It's quite interesting: we can use it to find any Digimon at any moment and look up their stats and more.

"Pervert!" a girl yelled, then slammed the door shut. In front of the large, shocked, and completely embarrassed clown stood TK, Matt, Davis and Ken. Their faces were blank. The group just stared at Piedmon in shock. He stared back. Finally Matt broke the silence.
"I know you're evil and all, but don't you think sneaking into the girls locker room is pushing it?" Matt said with a blank expression.
"Piedmon, I think you have too much free time on your hands.and there is a bra on your head." TK informed him. Piedmon growled in anger, then shot a blast, throwing them across the hall. As they got up, Piedmon disappeared.

"My DigiDestined is.a girl?"
