"I don't care! I need to go to the digiworld and see what's going on! Gabumon was in trouble! We heard Matt! Agumon saved him and I hafta make sure he's okay!" Tai raged at his friends as they walked down the school halls towards the computer room. "Tai, don't you think that a dumb idea? You could get hurt too!" Sora insisted, placing her hand on Tai. "Tai, he must be okay." Izzy said sensibly. "What's your deduction on that, brain?" Tai asked angrily. "Well, for some reason or other, by some unknown scientific eruption, a blue light was emitted from Matt's chest because something drastic was happening to Gabumon. So if something had happened to Agumon, don't you think you would have been affected in much the same way?" Izzy replied intelligibly, ignoring Tai's comment. "Izzy's right Tai. That's what would have happened." Sora said, placing her hand on his shoulder. Tai calmed down. "What did you see Matt?" He asked calmly. "Well, not much. Flashes of things. But Gabumon was just disappearing out of existence it seemed. Then Agumon rushed onto the scene, and thats it. I saw him and Gabumon walking away. That's all." Matt said, shrugging his shoulders. Tai's shoulders slumped as he entered the computer room. "Well, maybe. But I still want to go." He said with desperation. "Did the rest of you notice that the light that came was blue, the color of Matt's crest?" Izzy said suddenly. The others looked at him, then at each other in contemplative silence.
"Tai, you need to stay here with us. You need to give things in the digiworld some time to play out. Just stay." Kari pleaded, breaking the silence. "But what if it's not just Matt's digimon that was in trouble? What if the rest of you guys' are endangered too? We should figure out what's going on and save them!" Davis cried out. Sora groaned. "I can't handle TWO Tai's." She said. "Well one thing's for sure. Your digimon are supposedly safe for they are here. As far as we can deduce, if they are not in the digital world, then they are safe from this thing that is attacking them. I don't mind saying that I feel a bit concerned for Tentomon's safety, though I know he can care for himself." Izzy said uneasily. "So what are you waiting for? Let's go!!!" Davis yelled, throwing his fist in the air. "Davis! Please don't make this worse!" Kari pleaded. "Don't worry Kari! I'll protect you!" Davis replied, holding his digivice to the computer. Gatomon rolled her eyes. "But wait! Aren't we rushing into this a little too quickly! I mean, what if something happens and we are fried like eggs on a sidewalk?" Joe yelled. "It's a risk we'll hafta take." Davis said cooly, much to Joe's dismay.
"DIGIPORT OPEN!" He yelled. Everyone expected the customary flash of light and his disappearence, but nothing happened. Davis remained in the same position. Davis frowned and tried again, repeating the phrase louder this time. The digiport remained closed. "It's not working." He said angrily. "What could be wrong?" Veemon asked. "Oh well, we tried. Now that that's settled, who's hungry?" Joe asked. Izzy took a seat in front of the computer as the others leaned over him. He punched a few keys in the computer then looked up. "Either the computer is malfunctioning or the digiport is inoperational." He said. "But it's never not worked before! Why now?" T.K. asked. Izzy shrugged. "As far as I can tell, there is a force keeping it closed. So for now, the digital world is off limits." Izzy replied. "I have to get back there!" Tai said angrily, pounding the desk. "Sorry I'm late everyone! What's happened?"
The children turned to face Ken who was standing in the doorway. "Yolei sent me an e-mail that said something was wrong." The others looked to Yolei, who blushed. "The digiport won't open." T.K. said. Ken's blue eyes darkened. "Why not?" He asked as he approached the computer. "As far as we can tell, it is being held closed by a strong force. One so strong that the D-3's can't do anything against it." Izzy explained. "This doesn't make sense. What is so strong that it can keep all the digiports closed everywhere, blocking us out?" Kari thought out loud. "Darkness could." Ken said softly. The others turned to him. "Well, I was able to keep the digital world under my control when I was the emperor. I never was able to keep digiports closed, but I was able to shut off a few. But that didn't keep you guys out." He said with a small smile.
"What if we tried another computer?" Matt asked. "I frankly don't think it would make any difference. But you can try." Izzy said. "Please lets don't use another computer!" Joe said with a groan. "Oh Joe you are such a worry wart." Mimi retorted. Davis stepped in front of another computer and yelled the phrase. Again nothing happened. Davis' shoulders slumped. "It's okay, we'll figure it out eventually." Kari said sympathetically. Tai sat down in a chair near the computer. "I can't believe this. We've never really been blocked totally and completely out of the digital world." He said, speaking as if in a dream. "This is crazy, there's got to be some way in." Sora said. "Okay, I don't care what the rest of you do, but I think that we should all try it at the same time." Davis said firmly. "It's worth a try." Matt said with a shrug. "Are you guys sure you want to do this? What if something happens and instead of being transported to the digital world, we are transported somewhere completely different?" Izzy warned as the others and their digimon positioned themselves in front of the computer. "What are you talking about Izzy? That's never happened before." Tai said. Izzy sighed and placed his digivice in front of the computer. "I just hope you know what you're doing. Or rather what I'm doing." He said with a sigh. "DIGIPORT OPEN!"

Somewhere in that other dimension, she heard the cry once more and smiled. This was her time. Her time to show everyone her true colors. As another digimon dissolved in front of her, her shadow flung itself into the atmosphere, into the digiport.
