Part 2: Mistakes
"Genai? Hey Genai, are you home? Where are you?" Gomamon tried to get some attention outside Genai's house. I wish I had hands to open the door He thought as he looked for a second way in. This should do... He ran and leaped for an open window only a foot and a half off the ground. With some difficulty he made his way inside the dark room. "Hello? Genai?" He searched around the room with only outside light to guide his way. He pushed though an open door into the main hallway. "Genai..." Gomomon gasped at his body slumped in a chair in front of a computer screen. He examined the body until he saw a dagger handle protruding from Genai's chest. "No...... " Trying to convince himself that none of this was real, but in fact a dream. A very bad dream. But reality slapped him in the face when he opened his eyes and saw the cause of his mentors death. The computer screen had a message ready to be sent, almost like an E-mail. It contained some programming code and a instructions on how to implement the code. Gomamon quickly noted the urgency of this message and sent it, remembering how Joe taught him how to use his limbs on a mouse and keyboard.
"Thanks for your help Gomamon" A familiar voice said behind his back. He turned in the direction of the new visitor. The horrible outline of Piedmon stood in the shadows.
"No you can't be alive!!! We beat you!!! There's no way!" Gomamon expressed his discontent.
"But it can, and it is. I thank you again, and say goodbye." He hurled Gomomon against the wall. The force was enough to knock him out. He laughed at the body as it lay limp. He took out a communication device. He hit a few keys and a dark image appeared on the screen.
"Yes, what is it?" The device spoke.
"It is done" Piedmon said reporting his task complete.
"Good, your....services are.....no longer needed. Good day." The screen went blank.
"What....what does that mean??" A sudden pain in his chest erupted. He grunted as the pain grew larger and covered his body. He screamed as his body vaporized into a flame and then disappeared. The room was once again silent and dark as it has once before save for the pale light of the monitor and low hum of the computer.

"What the....This it not good." Izzy gawked at the message left on his desktop. "I better tell the others" He picked up the phone and dialed Tai's number. After 30 minutes everybody was notified about the situation and it was agreed that they would meet at Izzys house when his parents left for work. None of the Digidestined were able to sleep. Izzy however did not try to sleep, but was following the instructions given to him by Genai. Feverishly he attempted to create a crude connection between a serial port and his digivice. "How does Genai know all this?" He asked the question to the hardware from which he didn't expect an answer. After several hours of work he decided that it would be best to rest for a few minutes and then continue on. He completely fell asleep and awoke after his parents left for work. He turned his head to look at the time. 12:36 Was the time reported on his watch. Better get up and start working. Izzy thought as he resumed his work. Over the course of an hour he had completed his work through several interruptions that included letting his friends in and relieving himself.
"Are you done yet?" Matt asked impatiently
"Just a few more seconds. There, finished. Quite interesting...." Izzy began
"So now what are we supposed to do?"Sora interrupted
"Well..the instruction say to upload the code to all the digivices, and then activate them at the same time."
"So what are we waiting for? Lets do it!"Tai jumped up from Izzys bed.
"Right" Izzy started to work as he collected the digivices and connecting each and uploading the code. Then they received their digivices and prepared for the jump to the Digital world.
"Do it up"Matt proclaimed as he activated the Digivice along with the others. A few seconds passed. Then a minute passed.
"What's wrong? Why don't these things work?" T.K. Asked breaking the silence.
"I don't know..."Izzy answered looking through the code. "From the looks of it this.....code.....wasn't meant to open a portal..."He said looking down at the floor, he sighed "Its a shutdown sequence....."
"What does that mean?! That we can't go back and help them!!??"Mimi asked
"In a word.....yes"
"Im gonna kill you!!! You idiot!! What the hell were you thinking doing this and not even looking at the code!! Your supposed to be the smart one!!!"Matt flashed his anger
"I'm sorry..."He began to cry. "I never checked.."
"Never checked!! That's the biggest crock of crap I've heard all my damm life!! Come on T.K were leaving!" Matt again screamed while dragging T.K. out the door. After the door slammed and T.K.'s crying faded the room was silent
"Come on...let's go.."Tai said softly and took Kari by the hand.
"But wait I can fix it!" Izzy protested "I really can!!"
"No Izzy....."Tai left the apartment. Sora, Joe, and Mimi also left in silence. "I...can.....fix......" Izzy broke down after they left. "I...can....fix....it"
