Episode 6
GONE IN ONE OR TWO SECONDS
"Hi, this is TK. When we found out that there are Digimon back on Earth everybody kinda freaked out a little. But I didn't want to be around when they started arguing so Kari and I sat out on the balcony for a while. I made Kari promise that we'd always be best friends and we'd never fight like the others do sometimes. I hate it when people fight, and if I'm mad at Kari, how am I supposed to protect her? I gotta protect her cause I think there are bad Digimon who are watching us and who knows what kind of crazy stuff they're planning!" -TK
Goromon worked diligently under the searing gaze of his master, Metaldragamon.
"O Your Great Metalness, might I be permitted to speak?" he asked timidly at last.
"About what?" Metaldragamon snapped.
"Well, master," Goromon said as humbly as he could manage, "I know I have already addressed this issue, but I must continue to believe that the Digidestined are strong, and will be stronger if they are allowed to find the ninth Didgidestined. They did, after all, beat Skullvulmon."
Metaldragamon laughed. "Fool," he sneered. "Did you even know that Skullvulmon was only a Champion?"
Goromon blinked in surprise. "But I thought-"
"I don't care what you thought," his master snapped. "Skullvulmon WAS a mere Champion. Oh, she was a strong one, and very close to digivolving to her Ultimate level. It's really very sad about her."
"Yes, terribly sad, my lord," Goromon agreed. "But-"
"The point is," Metaldragamon interuppted, "it took an Ultimate of theirs to beat a Champion of mine. They are strong, but not as strong as they may seem."
"Of course, master," Goromon muttered. Angrily he thought to himself, *That fool is getting a much bigger head than he already has. He can't possibly believe that he can beat the Digidestined just like that, especially if they have the ninth one on their side?*
Goromon shook his head and wondered, *Am I really on the stronger side?*
"Are you finished yet?" Metaldragamon boomed.
"Yes, master, nearly," Goromon replied instantly.
"Good. We will see just how strong the Digidestined are when they are all separated. I will leave the human closest to the ninth Digidestined on Earth, for now." He smiled. "The time of reckoning is upon them."

Izzy was sleeping soundly in his room with Tentomon right next to him when there was a buzz on his computer. Incredibly, the laptop turned itself on, and the room was filled with a eerie glow.
Izzy and Tentomon slept.
All over the world, cats and dogs and other animals woke in fear, fur raised, claws bared, lips drawn back over teeth. In the Sahara Desert, a single flake of snow fell, and was soon joined by many others. In Paris, France, an incredible tornado kicked up in mere seconds and whipped through the city, bending even the Eiffel Tower. In New York City residents stopped what they were doing in fear and amazement as the ground shook in a record-breaking earthquake for that area. And all over the city of Odaiba, eight crests and nine digivices activated themselves in unison, while still their owners slept.
Izzy and Tentomon woke up in the Digiworld, a rude awakening while falling through the sky followed by an abrupt meeting with the ground.
The two sat up and looked around in amazement. And in seven other places in the Digiworld, seven other Digidestined and their Digimon did the same.
The only ones left on Earth were Tai and Agumon. Them, and the ninth Digidestined.
*******************
Tai was once again woken up by his mother yelling, except this time she was shaking him too.
He opened his eyes and stared at his mother's panic-striken face. "Mom, what's wrong?" he demanded, no longer tired.
Agumon woke up too. "Are you okay, Mrs Kamiya?" he asked, concerned.
"It's Kari," Mrs Kamiya said. "She's gone!"
"What?!" Tai jumped out of bed and peered over the edge of the bunkbed on top of his. No Kari. Gatomon was gone, too.
"I can't find her anywhere!" Mrs Kamiya sobbed, sinking to the floor.
Tai's father came into the room. He sat down beside Mrs Kamiya and hugged her tightly. "I checked out the park and anywhere else she might have gone," he said grimly. "She wasn't there."
Tai grabbed Agumon's arm and dragged him out of the room. "C'mon, Agumon, let's call Izzy," he said.
"Why?"
"Let's just say I have a bad feeling about this," he said grimly.
Tai dialed Izzy's number. "Hi, is Izzy there?" (Paused) "WHAT?!"
He hung up the phone and dialed Matt's number. Then Sora's. Then Joe's. Then Mimi's and finally TK's.
"Even TK's missing!" he yelled, slamming down the phone in frustration. "Everyone's missing expect you and me, Agumon, along with their Digimon and their tags and crests and even Izzy's computer!"
"What could have possibly happened?" Agumon demanded.
Tai shook his head. "I don't know. I just don't know."
*How could I have let this happen?* he thought angrily to himself. *I'm supposed to be responsible for all the others. Especially Kari. She's my sister! How could I have possibly-*
Then it dawned on him. "Agumon!" he yelled, startling his Digimon. "It must have been the drift!"
"What?"
"You know, the dimensional rift! It must have taken them all back! But why in the world would take all the others and leave me here..."
"Is that where Kari is?" It was Mrs Kamiya. She was standing in the doorway with Mr Kamiya's arm around her shoulder. "She went back to that place...the Digiworld?"
"I think so, Mom," Tai admitted.
She stared at him. "How could you have let this HAPPEN?!" she demanded, her voice shaking. "Are you telling me your sister is there all alone?!"
"I didn't let anything happen, Mom. And she's not alone. She has Gatomon with her, and all the others, too." *Hopefully,* Tai added silently, but he kept that to himself.
Mrs Kamiya collapsed, sobbing, against her husband.
"Don't worry, Mom," Tai said quickly, trying to reassure her. "Kari is very strong and very brave. She's been through worse than this and she'll pull through. I just have to figure out how to get back to the Digiworld and help her." He smiled weakly. "Looks like vacation is over."
Mrs Kamiya looked up at him quickly. "Would you, Tai? Would you go find her?"
"Sure I will," he assured her. "I know I can figure out how to get back there. Don't worry, I'll bring her home."
Tai wasn't sure if his mother believed him, but she nodded.
"Let's hope we CAN get back, Agumon," he whispered to his Digimon later in his room. "Or else I have a feeling we might be in trouble. And somebody has still got to find the ninth Digidestined."
