Time Bomb
Part 1: Worthless
The ocean was calm and quiet on this bright sunny day in the Digital World. A turtle type Digimon was floating on the top when he was thrown out of the way by a massive wave. "Sorry about that!" Whamon apologized as he plowed through the water.
"We don't have time to apologize," Davis said from on top of him.
"This is probably the first time," T.K. said, walking to his side,"But I agree with Davis."
"Thanks a lot T.A.," Davis said, sarcastically.
"Well, at least I can remember your name!" T.K. said.
"Do you guys always fight?" Ken asked.
"All the time," Agumon, Gabumon, Tentomon, Veemon, Patamon, Kari, Gatomon, Yolei, Hawkmon, Cody, and Armadilliomon said at the same time.
Ken looked down at the Digimon by his feet. "I don't know," Wormmon shrugged.
"You'll get used to it," Yolei said, standing beside him.
"Never mind them," Kari said. She turned to Agumon, Gabumon, and Tentomon, "What can you tell us about this threat?"
"Not much," Tentomon said,"Only that a Digimon that we've never seen before appeared on File Island. He took his station on top of Infinity Mountain and has been very angry about anyone trying to come close to him."
"What do you mean?" Gatomon asked.
"Well," Gabumon said,"as soon as he settled on top of the mountain, some of the Digimon went to investigate, and as soon as they came close enough, he chewed them up and spit them out!"
"I've never seen Gabumon this upset before," Patamon whispered to Veemon,"Something terrible is out there."
"And why did I need to come?" Ken asked,"If this is just another attempt to get me to join you, forget it! I appreciate you saving me from myself as the Digimon Emperor, but I all ready told you that I need to make my own way."
"Its nothing like that," Agumon said,"This Digimon said you created him."
All the color drained from Ken's face, he stumbled for a second, then he fell over, but Davis caught him. "Careful," he said.
"I'll never be free of the horrible things I did as the Digimon Emperor," Ken said.
"Stop whining!" Davis said,"Stop complaining about how you were so bad and blah, blah, blah! Its time to do something about it!"
Ken stood tall,"You're right. Its time for redemption. Can you tell me what his name is?"
Agumon turned to him grimly,"Spacemon."
Sora ran to the door of the apartment. She grabbed the handle and turned around,"Tai Kamiya, I hate you!"
"Sora, wait!" he yelled out, trying to get up from his kneeling position to stop her, but it was too late, she had already left with a quick,"and I never want to see you again!"
Tai stop as soon as Sora slammed the door shut. He grabbed a pillow from off of the couch and threw it onto the ground. "Damn it!" he yelled. His parent's weren't home, but he didn't care if they were. He grabbed the pillow and through it again, trying to get angry, but it wasn't working, he wasn't mad, just sad.
He plopped down onto the couch, feeling empty inside. He had to talk to someone, but who? His first choice wasn't home, she was in the Digital World, besides, Kari wouldn't have listen anyway. He had to call his second choice.
He got up and walked over to the phone. He dialed the number,"Please, be home," he whispered,"Please."
"Hello?"
"Matt," he said,"I need to talk to you."
"What is it?" he asked.
"Everything," he said, with a sigh.
"Whoa," Matt said,"Maybe you'd better start at the beginning."
"Some times I envy you and T.K.," he said,"You have such a great relationship. You're always there for each other, you'll never stop thinking about each other..."
"Tai, what are you talking about?"
"Its Kari. She-we're starting to drift apart. We're starting to constantly get on each other's nerves."
"Well that's what happens when you get older," he said,"You and Kari are brother and sister, not brother and brother! You're two different genders, when you get to a certain age, you go in two different directions. Kari still loves you, its just, she needs to make her own way, and not constantly be in her older brother's shadow."
"Its more than that," he said,"If I stay out late, Kari gets yelled at too."
"Well that's not your fault," Matt said,"Its your parents."
"And then there's the problems I've been having with Sora."
"What kind of problems?" Matt asked.
"We've been fighting a lot lately and.......she just broke up with me."
"Ouch," Matt said,"Tai, I'm sorry. What happened?"
"We were at my place, watching t.v., you know, just hanging out, when I said that I was worried about the New Digidestined. She told me that they could handle themselves just fine and that it if there was a problem, they would let us know. Then we got into this big fight about how we served our time, and that we didn't need to worry about every problem that happens in the Digiworld. She told me that I was worrying too much. Then I told her that she wasn't worrying too much, and that maybe she didn't deserve the Crest of Love after all."
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu," Matt said.
"I know," Tai continued,"then she just ran out, saying she hated me and didn't want to see me again."
Matt laughed.
"What is it?" Tai asked, annoyed that his friend was taking this as a joke.
"Nothing," Matt said,"Its just that, you're worried about that? She doesn't hate you! If you haven't noticed, she's crazy about you! I'll give her a day, before she comes back."
"I don't know," Tai said,"I just feel so worthless. Sometimes I wonder if things wouldn't be different if I wasn't around."
Matt started to get worried. "Tai," he said,"What are you saying?"
"Would this world be a better place, without me?"
"Tai, don't do anything!" Matt said,"I'll come right over. Just stay right there!"
"I don't belive this!" T.K. yelled over the howling winds.
"Belive it!" Leomon said, dodging a blast of lightning, joining the other Digidestined as they attempted to make it past the storm that was emanating from the black dome on top of Infinity Mountain,"This is the place where many of the Digimon I sent to investage...died."
"I'm sorry, " Kari said.
They were on the peak, that wasn't the problem, the problem was getting past the defensive and into the darkness were they new the enemy awaited them.
The new Digidestined, including their friends Agumon, Tentomon, and Gabumon made their way to the edge of the black wall.
"I should probably ask this before we enter," Davis said, turning to Ken,"Just how powerful is Spacemon?"
"Where some of my creations are concerned,"Ken said,"I have no idea. In fact, Spacemon was someone I was working on before I abandoned him and began on Kimeramon."
"Why did you abandoned him?" Cody asked.
"He was too rebellious," Ken said.
"So you don't know how strong he is?" T.K. asked.
Ken shook his head,"I'm sorry, no, but I did create him to be able to open a portal between the two worlds anywhere, so that is the core of any ability he has."
"That will have to do,"T.K. said,"Okay, let's go do this."
With a deep breath, they passed through the black wall, and entered hell itself. There was a storm of such magnitude that Jupiter's Red Spot would have been hard pressed to face. Winds were blowing everywhere, bolts of energy whirled around, bits of gravel spun floated and moved every which way, and at the center of this nightmare was a human looking Digimon with jet black hair and white spots covering it, like the backdrop of outer space. He wore a white clock with a hood that was down.
"Spacemon!" Ken yelled.
The Digimon turned and saw the group standing below him. "Ahh," he said,"my former master, welcome."
"Spacemon," Ken said again,"What are you doing?"
"I am completing the directive you programed me for!"
"I installed hundreds of programs!" Ken said,"It made you who you are, which one are you completing?"
Spacemon smiled, and shook his head,"That's my secret! You'll have to try and guess!"
"What program?" Ken asked again.
"The one thing you could never do!" Spacemon laughed.
"Ken," Davis said, crawling over because the high winds kept him to the ground,"What is he talking about?"
"I don't know," Ken said,"There were so many unfulfilled programs, so many failures."
"What ever you're planning," T.K. said,"We'll stop you!"
"Really?" Spacemon asked,"I would like to see you try."
He raised his hand and fired a blast of energy at the ground. The Digidestined were thrown around the storm like rag dolls.
Spacemon held up his hand,"I will not allow you to stop me! I must continue gathering energy."
"For what?" Leomon asked.
"Time Travel," Spacemon said with a grin.
"What are you talking about?" Ken asked,"I never, ever programed anything for time travel. Its impossible!"
"No, it isn't," Spacemon said,"I have the ability to open a door in space, why not in time? I am gathering chronal energy here to do just that, and travel back to the most important day in the history of the Digiworld!"
Yellow beams of lightning shot out from his body and began to surround him as a white hole opened in the top of the black dome. "Farewell, Digidestined and former Master," Spacemon said, flying towards it.
"We have to stop him!" Davis said,"There's no telling what he'd do back in the past!"
Suddenly, all the Digidestined were pulled towards the portal. "I think we don't have much of a choice!" Leomon said.
"What's happening? " Cody demanded.
"Its simple," Ken said, floating towards the portal,"When you create a vacuum, like Spacemon did, nature will try to fill the void."
"We don't need a science lesson!" Yolei said,"We need an anchor!"
While the others were being sucked towards it, T.K., with Patamon on his back, grabbed hold of a large bolder. He watched helplessly as the rest of the Digidestined and Leomon were pulled into the portal.
"Kari!" T.K. cried, but it was too late, the Digidestined and their friend Leomon, were gone, along with the portal, Spacemon, and the black dome. Once the suction was gone, T.K. fell to the ground with an uncounscience Patamon. "Took........everything............I............had not to be pulled through........too. Have....to.....warn.....others."
He reached inside his pocket and pulled out his small organizer, and started to type. "Matt....File Island....help.....T.K." As soon as his finger hit the send button, his head hit the ground.
Izzy was sleeping soundly for the first time in years. He was dreaming peacefully when he heard his name being called out. He quickly woke up, but when he found no one in his room, he shrugged and went back to sleep.
He heard it again, but this time saw where it was coming from, his computer. He ran over to it and moved his mouse, destroying the screen savor to reveal the face of an old friend. "Gennai!" he exclaimed, then he saw the seriousness to his friend's face,""What is it?"
"I have some thing to tell you," he said.
"Gennai, I've never seen you like this, what is this terrible message?"
"Only that we may soon both be free of our appointed tasks."
"What are you talking about?" Izzy asked,"We were chosen to be the Digidestined, protectors of the Digiworld, and you are to be a guardian. What could cause us to lose those honors?"
"Only this, the end of both the Earth and Digiworld!"
to be continued.....
Part 2:
"Tai," Matt cried, opening the door to the Kamiya's apartment quickly,"I hope I'm not too late," he thought. "Tai!"
"I'm right here," he said, exiting his room,"Why are you yelling so loud?"
Matt let out a sigh of relif,"I thought you were going to kill yourself."
He looked at his friend odly,"Why did you think that?"
"Because of what you were saying before."
Tai half smiled. "I wasn't going to do anything, I was just thinking."
"Well, don't think so seriously next time. You scared the crap out of me."
"Sorry," Tai said, walking towards the fridge,"Well, since you ran all the way over here, do you want something to eat?"
Matt was going to answer when he received a message on the organizer that T.K. had given him. "Oh no!"
"What is it?" Tai asked.
"Its from T.K.," he said,"He needs help on File Island, but it looks like his Digivice opened the portal there and sent him back to the camp where we were all first pulled in."
"Let's go," Tai said,"We need to know what happened to the others. I'll call Izzy."
"What about Sora?"
"I'm going to leave her alone for a while," Tai said, nodding.
Five years ago...
The door to the cabin opened up and a young boy with a blue shirt, brown shorts, and goggles with a nest of black hair. He raised a gloved hand over his eyes and looked out across the field. "Its beautiful out here!" he said, yelling back inside the cabin,"Come on, it finally stopped raining! We've got stuff to do!"
A young blond haired boy with a green shirt joined him. "I'm sorry, Tai," he said,"but I can't just wake up."
Tai smiled,"What do you mean by that, Matt?"
"Oh, never mind," he said, following Tai out of the cabin.
"So," Tai said, as they continued walking,"Who is the little boy I see you with sometimes as meal time?"
"Oh, that's my brother, T.K. "
"Really?" Tai asked,"How come you guys didn't come together on the same bus?"
"Just because," he said, looking away.
Tai smiled,"Matt, you are since I met you the other day, a man of mystery."
Matt turned back to him, smiling that Tai wasn't going to pursue his question,"We all have our secrets."
Tai was going to say something when an image flashed through his mind. An image of a little girl lying unconscious in the park, while Tai was busy calling an ambulance. "Yes we do," he said, seriously," Yes we do."
"I'm glad that I met you," Matt said.
"I'm glad that I met you too," Tai said. He looked at his watch,"I've got to get to the soccer feild, or the others will kill me."
Matt nodded,"And I've got to get back to the nurse's hut, " he said, sighing.
Tai smiled. "We'll all have to do it over the course of the summer," he said,"You just got picked first. Say, do you want to sneak out after dark and see the new movie at the theater tonight?"
"Hmmmm," Matt said,"Sure. Say hello to Sora for me."
"Yeah," Tai said, running off,"right before I kick that soccer ball down her throat! HA!"
Matt smiled as he watched his new friend run off. He walked into the nurse's hut and over to the patient lying on the cot. "Good morning," he said,"How are you feeling today?"
The patient sat up,"I don't know. I mean, I can't remember a thing about myself, other than that, I'm fine!"
"I'm just trying to help," Matt said.
"I'm sorry," the patient said, sitting up,"Its just so hard."
He looked out of the window and ran his hand through his jet black hair, dotted with white stars.
Present Time....
Tai, Izzy, and Matt walked through the deserted camp. Normally they would be thinking of old times, but there was much more important reason, to look for T.K., and something that Izzy was now telling them.
"So," Tai said,"Explain this again."
Izzy sighed,"I'll try. Gennai contacted me and told me that some kind of black wave is sweeping over the Digital World, gaining speed as it travels from epicenter. Wherever it sweeps over it disappears as if it ceases to exits!"
Tai nodded,"Okay, where is its epicenter?"
"Right where we fought Apoclaymon."
"T.K.!" Matt yelled, running towards a figure lying on the ground.
Matt ran over to his brother and lifted him over to a bench. "T.K., are you okay?"
He opened his eyes a little,"M-Matt? Its you!"
"Where's Kari!" Tai asked, running over.
"And the others?" Izzy asked.
"One of Ken's old creations....jumped in time! Went somewhere in the past. Others got pulled with him."
"When?" Izzy asked.
"Spacemon, said something about...DigiWorld's greatest day...." he said, right before he passed out again.
the past....
Tai hurriedly ran to the soccer feild. He saw a bunch of other kids choosing sides. "Hey! Hey!" he yelled, running towards them,"Have no fear! The best is here!"
The other guys started to laugh, while Sora, sighed and shook her head.
Tai smiled at Sora, then noticed that there was another girl there. She was wearing a pair of brown shorts and a white sleeveless shirt with a jacket. When she noticed that Tai was looking at her, she pulled the hood over her head and ran away.
Tai blinked for a moment, then shook his head. "It couldn't have been."
Sora walked over to him,"What is it?"
"Did you know that girl that just ran off?"
She shook her head,"No, but I've seen her hanging around with a group of other kids. Why?"
"Well, its just, I know its weird, but...she looked like Kari."
The girl kept running until she reached an abandoned cabin deeper in the woods. She opened the door and ran inside, where she had to duck fast before she was hit in the head with a baseball bat.
"Davis!" she yelled,"What do you think you're doing?"
"Kari?" Davis asked, blinking a few times.
"Who else would it be?" she asked.
"Well, home I am supposed to know?" he asked,"You could have been a counselor for all I know!"
"That's enough fighting," Cody said,"We need to figure out how to get out of here."
"That's simple!" Yolei said,"Spacemon!"
"But where is Spacemon?" a deep voice said from the other side of the cabin.
"We don't know, Leomon," Kari said,"I was trying to mingle because Spacemon can pass for a human, but something happened."
"What?" Gatomon asked.
"Tai saw me."
"Did he recognize you?" Ken asked.
Kari shook her head,"No, I don't think so, but we've got to be more careful. I think you guys should search. I'll stay here with the Digimon."
"Why just us?" Yolei asked.
"Because you don't have older brothers who can recognize you!"
"Right."
"That's a good idea," Davis said,"But I don't want you spending the whole time in this cabin."
"I won't," she said,"I'll just watch myself. I just hope we can get back to our own time."
the present....
"Tai," Izzy said, walking to where he and Matt were watching T.K.,"I just got off the phone with Willace. He's coming over with Mimi and Michael as fast as they can."
"Why did you call him?" Tai asked.
"Because he's pretty smart himself and I can't build a time machine all by myself," he said.
"Okay," Tai said. It did seem pretty outrageous, but how else were they going to get their missing team mates back?
Just then, Izzy's laptop started beeping. "What's that?" Matt asked.
"Gennai," Izzy said, opening it. "Gennai, do you have any other news?"
He nodded,"The wave hit us, but the Digimon Key Cards that I have in my possession erected a shield around my house and myself, thus I am protected from the 'annihilation wave', but I can't do anything about it!"
"What do you mean?" Tai asked.
"I'm not sure, only that it appears that something has changed in the past, and is causing this problem now! You've got to do something, or soon this wave will destroy the Digiworld and once its done there, it will move on to Earth!"

"This is probably the first time," T.K. said, walking to his side,"But I agree with Davis."
"Thanks a lot T.A.," Davis said, sarcastically.
"Well, at least I can remember your name!" T.K. said.
"Do you guys always fight?" Ken asked.
"All the time," Agumon, Gabumon, Tentomon, Veemon, Patamon, Kari, Gatomon, Yolei, Hawkmon, Cody, and Armadilliomon said at the same time.
Ken looked down at the Digimon by his feet. "I don't know," Wormmon shrugged.
"You'll get used to it," Yolei said, standing beside him.

"I've never seen Gabumon this upset before," Patamon whispered to Veemon,"Something terrible is out there."
"And why did I need to come?" Ken asked,"If this is just another attempt to get me to join you, forget it! I appreciate you saving me from myself as the Digimon Emperor, but I all ready told you that I need to make my own way."
"Its nothing like that," Agumon said,"This Digimon said you created him."
All the color drained from Ken's face, he stumbled for a second, then he fell over, but Davis caught him. "Careful," he said.
"I'll never be free of the horrible things I did as the Digimon Emperor," Ken said.
"Stop whining!" Davis said,"Stop complaining about how you were so bad and blah, blah, blah! Its time to do something about it!"
Ken stood tall,"You're right. Its time for redemption. Can you tell me what his name is?"

Sora ran to the door of the apartment. She grabbed the handle and turned around,"Tai Kamiya, I hate you!"
"Sora, wait!" he yelled out, trying to get up from his kneeling position to stop her, but it was too late, she had already left with a quick,"and I never want to see you again!"
Tai stop as soon as Sora slammed the door shut. He grabbed a pillow from off of the couch and threw it onto the ground. "Damn it!" he yelled.

Matt started to get worried. "Tai," he said,"What are you saying?"
"Would this world be a better place, without me?"
"Tai, don't do anything!" Matt said,"I'll come right over. Just stay right there!"
"I don't belive this!" T.K. yelled over the howling winds.
"Belive it!" Leomon said, dodging a blast of lightning, joining the other Digidestined as they attempted to make it past the storm that was emanating from the black dome on top of Infinity Mountain,"This is the place where many of the Digimon I sent to investage...died."
"I'm sorry, " Kari said.
They were on the peak, that wasn't the problem, the problem was getting past the defensive and into the darkness were they new the enemy awaited them.

"For what?" Leomon asked.
"Time Travel," Spacemon said with a grin.

Part 2:
"Tai," Matt cried, opening the door to the Kamiya's apartment quickly,"I hope I'm not too late," he thought. "Tai!"
"I'm right here," he said, exiting his room,"Why are you yelling so loud?"
Matt let out a sigh of relif,"I thought you were going to kill yourself."
He looked at his friend odly,"Why did you think that?"
"Because of what you were saying before."
Tai half smiled. "I wasn't going to do anything, I was just thinking."
"Well, don't think so seriously next time. You scared the crap out of me."
"Sorry," Tai said, walking towards the fridge,"Well, since you ran all the way over here, do you want something to eat?"
Matt was going to answer when he received a message on the organizer that T.K. had given him. "Oh no!"
"What is it?" Tai asked.
"Its from T.K.," he said,"He needs help on File Island, but it looks like his Digivice opened the portal there and sent him back to the camp where we were all first pulled in."
"Let's go," Tai said,"We need to know what happened to the others. I'll call Izzy."
"What about Sora?"
"I'm going to leave her alone for a while," Tai said, nodding.
Five years ago...
The door to the cabin opened up and a young boy with a blue shirt, brown shorts, and goggles with a nest of black hair. He raised a gloved hand over his eyes and looked out across the field. "Its beautiful out here!" he said, yelling back inside the cabin,"Come on, it finally stopped raining! We've got stuff to do!"
A young blond haired boy with a green shirt joined him. "I'm sorry, Tai," he said,"but I can't just wake up."
Tai smiled,"What do you mean by that, Matt?"
"Oh, never mind," he said, following Tai out of the cabin.
"So," Tai said, as they continued walking,"Who is the little boy I see you with sometimes as meal time?"
"Oh, that's my brother, T.K. "
"Really?" Tai asked,"How come you guys didn't come together on the same bus?"
"Just because," he said, looking away.
Tai smiled,"Matt, you are since I met you the other day, a man of mystery."
Matt turned back to him, smiling that Tai wasn't going to pursue his question,"We all have our secrets."
Tai was going to say something when an image flashed through his mind. An image of a little girl lying unconscious in the park, while Tai was busy calling an ambulance. "Yes we do," he said, seriously," Yes we do."
"I'm glad that I met you," Matt said.
"I'm glad that I met you too," Tai said. He looked at his watch,"I've got to get to the soccer feild, or the others will kill me."
Matt nodded,"And I've got to get back to the nurse's hut, " he said, sighing.
Tai smiled. "We'll all have to do it over the course of the summer," he said,"You just got picked first. Say, do you want to sneak out after dark and see the new movie at the theater tonight?"
"Hmmmm," Matt said,"Sure. Say hello to Sora for me."
"Yeah," Tai said, running off,"right before I kick that soccer ball down her throat! HA!"
Matt smiled as he watched his new friend run off. He walked into the nurse's hut and over to the patient lying on the cot. "Good morning," he said,"How are you feeling today?"
The patient sat up,"I don't know. I mean, I can't remember a thing about myself, other than that, I'm fine!"
"I'm just trying to help," Matt said.
"I'm sorry," the patient said, sitting up,"Its just so hard."
He looked out of the window and ran his hand through his jet black hair, dotted with white stars.
Present Time....
Tai, Izzy, and Matt walked through the deserted camp. Normally they would be thinking of old times, but there was much more important reason, to look for T.K., and something that Izzy was now telling them.
"So," Tai said,"Explain this again."
Izzy sighed,"I'll try. Gennai contacted me and told me that some kind of black wave is sweeping over the Digital World, gaining speed as it travels from epicenter. Wherever it sweeps over it disappears as if it ceases to exits!"
Tai nodded,"Okay, where is its epicenter?"
"Right where we fought Apoclaymon."
"T.K.!" Matt yelled, running towards a figure lying on the ground.
Matt ran over to his brother and lifted him over to a bench. "T.K., are you okay?"
He opened his eyes a little,"M-Matt? Its you!"
"Where's Kari!" Tai asked, running over.
"And the others?" Izzy asked.
"One of Ken's old creations....jumped in time! Went somewhere in the past. Others got pulled with him."
"When?" Izzy asked.
"Spacemon, said something about...DigiWorld's greatest day...." he said, right before he passed out again.
the past....
Tai hurriedly ran to the soccer feild. He saw a bunch of other kids choosing sides. "Hey! Hey!" he yelled, running towards them,"Have no fear! The best is here!"
The other guys started to laugh, while Sora, sighed and shook her head.
Tai smiled at Sora, then noticed that there was another girl there. She was wearing a pair of brown shorts and a white sleeveless shirt with a jacket. When she noticed that Tai was looking at her, she pulled the hood over her head and ran away.
Tai blinked for a moment, then shook his head. "It couldn't have been."
Sora walked over to him,"What is it?"
"Did you know that girl that just ran off?"
She shook her head,"No, but I've seen her hanging around with a group of other kids. Why?"
"Well, its just, I know its weird, but...she looked like Kari."
The girl kept running until she reached an abandoned cabin deeper in the woods. She opened the door and ran inside, where she had to duck fast before she was hit in the head with a baseball bat.
"Davis!" she yelled,"What do you think you're doing?"
"Kari?" Davis asked, blinking a few times.
"Who else would it be?" she asked.
"Well, home I am supposed to know?" he asked,"You could have been a counselor for all I know!"
"That's enough fighting," Cody said,"We need to figure out how to get out of here."
"That's simple!" Yolei said,"Spacemon!"
"But where is Spacemon?" a deep voice said from the other side of the cabin.
"We don't know, Leomon," Kari said,"I was trying to mingle because Spacemon can pass for a human, but something happened."
"What?" Gatomon asked.
"Tai saw me."
"Did he recognize you?" Ken asked.
Kari shook her head,"No, I don't think so, but we've got to be more careful. I think you guys should search. I'll stay here with the Digimon."
"Why just us?" Yolei asked.
"Because you don't have older brothers who can recognize you!"
"Right."
"That's a good idea," Davis said,"But I don't want you spending the whole time in this cabin."
"I won't," she said,"I'll just watch myself. I just hope we can get back to our own time."
the present....
"Tai," Izzy said, walking to where he and Matt were watching T.K.,"I just got off the phone with Willace. He's coming over with Mimi and Michael as fast as they can."
"Why did you call him?" Tai asked.
"Because he's pretty smart himself and I can't build a time machine all by myself," he said.
"Okay," Tai said. It did seem pretty outrageous, but how else were they going to get their missing team mates back?
Just then, Izzy's laptop started beeping. "What's that?" Matt asked.
"Gennai," Izzy said, opening it. "Gennai, do you have any other news?"
He nodded,"The wave hit us, but the Digimon Key Cards that I have in my possession erected a shield around my house and myself, thus I am protected from the 'annihilation wave', but I can't do anything about it!"
"What do you mean?" Tai asked.
"I'm not sure, only that it appears that something has changed in the past, and is causing this problem now! You've got to do something, or soon this wave will destroy the Digiworld and once its done there, it will move on to Earth!"
