Author's note: Terribly sorry for not posting this yesterday, but can you
say 'connection trouble'? I have no idea when the next part will be out,
perhaps next week, perhaps never. It mostly depends on you.

[Here's a list of their hair-colour: Tai~pink; Matt~brown; Izzy~fluorescent green; Joey~green; Sora~light blue; Mimi~soft indigo; T.K.~black; Kari~red; Davis~bright purple; Yolei~blonde; Iori~orange; Ken~white]
Once arrived in the Digital World, our haircolour-changing heroes met with Mimi, who greeted them cheerfully.
"Hi, guys! ! !"
"Hey," the lot answered back, eyeing her hair. Sure, it was rather bright and didn't quite match her eye-colour, but at least it wasn't an effeminate pink!
"Oh, Tai…" the girl found herself torn between laughter and compassion. However, her Crest fitted her well, so Mimi started laughing as hard as she could. As if on cue, everyone else (except Tai) laughed with her, unconsciously trying to relieve the tension they felt. Yet, the thought of their own hair also having an odd colour made the present situation not as funny as they tried to believe it was.
"Enough already! We have to find out what happened!" Izzy shouted, quieting the others. "Analyzing the facts, the matter presents itself like this: us eleven DigiDestined have woken up with a totally different hair-colour, the reason unknown. We do not know if this is irreversible of not,--"
"Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!" shrieked several of them.
"- but I'm confident that there is a explication and I will find it. Moreover, this must be related to our being able to travel into this world and for this motive, I need to find out whether this has happened to others around the globe such as ourselves. Mimi, do you know if, for instance, Michael also has a different hair-colour?"
"Yes, his hair wasn't the usual shade of blonde, it was almost green, but the--"
Both Matt and T.K. groaned and Yolei giggled at the mention of the term 'blonde', whereas Joey and Izzy made a face when hearing the word 'green'.
"- the other American DigiDestined were just fine!"
"What does Michael have in common with us?" a certain greenhead wondered out-loud.
"He fought with us," Kari replied.
"Exactly! Now, if this has something to do with the digiports, as I suspect, it fits perfectly, because Michael is the only one except us who has passed through one."
"Yeah, whatever you just said…"
"What I mean is, when we go through, our real bodies are turned into data, and are recreated here. This is also the reason why your clothes change every time you enter or leave the DigiWorld. As you can see, the same thing happens to our hair. But normally, its shape, texture and *colour* do not alter. I believe an event took place, which led to something going wrong with the digiports. What that is, I have no idea!"
3 "Maybe someone on the new team has noticed if anything was unusual with the ports," said Joey.
4 "Well, did you?"
"No, everything was just normal yesterday," Davis declared merrily. Bright purple hair wasn't affecting him.
"Normal? How can you describe what happened everyday as normal?" Iori was obviously shocked by this choice of words. "Do you get every day in a fight with the Kaiser, referring to his hair as a blue mop?"
"Um…yeah?"
"…"
"What *did* happen yesterday?" inquired Izzy.
"You see," began the only redhead there, "we were fighting against some ringed digimon…"
The previous day…
The new team of DigiDestined were battling with the Kaiser. The self- proclaimed ruler enjoyed the fighting from an apparently comfortable position on the shoulder of a DarkTyranomon.
The armor digimons' attacks worked wonders, freeing the dark-ringed digimon in no time at all.
Davis, along with the others decided to confront the Kaiser. A plan formed in his mind even without him realizing that - to pick a fight with the tyrant, making him lose his temper and capture him… or… somethin'. Whatever. Hmm… But what should the pretense be? The Kaiser's evil, despicable, unforgivable, inadmissible deeds? Nah, that was way over-used. Davis was dead set on being original, so he chose something ... something else. But until he maneuvered to that, those unallowable deeds would serve just right as a pretense for the pretense. A bit dizzying plan, but it would work just fine, he was sure of it.
"You villain!" Davis attacked him verbally. "Release those ringed digimon at once!"
"Ha! You think that as inferior creatures that you are, you have the capacity to coerce me do so?"
"…"
"I see my complex ideas and vocabulary are far above you intellect!" the future DigiDestined of Kindness snickered.
Upon this, Davis promptly decided that mere words couldn't transmit his intricate feelings properly, so he added gesticulation, by raising his hands into the air, balling his hands into fists, sending a smashing right hook in the Kaiser's face, stamping his feet, kicking the sand, that sort of thing. Nothing harmless, of course!
"You…you…" the tyrant hissed much like a cobra, stressing every syllable.
"So much for the 'complex vocabulary'," Davis proudly noted.
The Kaiser ran his hands through his hair, trying to control himself enough to decide whether to rip his adversary to shreds that very moment or wait for a couple of seconds to enjoy it better.
Set on this path of mocking whatever he could, Davis gleefully observed he could finally relate to the objective he had chosen.
"Why are you trying to rip your hair off, Kaiser-boy? Have you already gotten tired of wearing a spiked blue mop on your head?"
The Kaiser froze on the spot, his face constricted, jaws clenched and his eyes… oh, his eyes… If looks could kill… Davis would have been stabbed, shot with a machine gun, hanged, burnt at the stake, dipped in H2SO4, and then whatever remaining atoms split into their most simple component particles. Fortunately for the DigiDestined of Courage and Friendship, looks *couldn't* kill. But fortunately for the DigimonKaiser, daggers, machine guns, hangman's ropes, stakes, sulfuric acid and laser desintegrators *could* do a pretty damn good job.
On seeing the rest of the team members gathering round Davis, the Kaiser decided to retreat in order to plan his revenge and by the looks of it, what a revenge was it going to be!
Back to present day
"So that's all we know about what happened," concluded Kari.
What they didn't know couldn't hurt them, right? [*sardonic grin*]5 Here's what they *didn't* know.
~ ~ ~
After returning to his base, the Kaiser had paced through the control room nervously.
"How dare they insult and mock me? *ME!!* They will pay! Each and every one!"
A few meters behind him, Wormmon had observed to himself that his partner was a bit upset that evening.
Eventually, the Kaiser had stopped to reach for a particular cabinet door and had taken out a bottle of whichever drink had seemed stronger. Gulping down a few mouthfuls, he had started typing furiously. After only an hour, the bottle had been empty and the Kaiser had drunkenly pressed 'run'. And through the digiports, pixels had started running amuck…
