~ In Plane Sight ~

Everyone froze. The first one to react was Izzy.

He pulled the phone from Matt's numb fingers. "Mimi! Izzy here, can you hear me?" he demanded.

"Y-s. I--y plea-- help!" Static took over.

"Where's the plane? And what flight number?" The boy said hurriedly. Izzy pointed at Ken, then at his laptop.

Catching on, Ken focused his frowning eyes to the screen. Waiting impatiently for it to connect to the Internet, the whole room remained severely quiet.

"W-'re o-er --ter. Th- nu--er i- -ne, eighty -----"

Minomon floated above his partner's shoulder. Thinking aloud, Ken's fingers went to work. "All flights to Japan over water." Flashing red signals in motion were displayed on an online map. "Numbers one, eighty and a random digit." Upon reloading the page, three lights remained.

Izzy became frantic. "Mimi! Repeat the number!"

"One, ----ty --ree… -zzy, I'- sc--ed," cried Mimi.

Ken replaced the final number. "Three!" Everyone was on their toes.

The boy on the phone's face melted to worry. "Mimi, just hang on. We're coming," he said firmly.

The group clenched their teeth, waiting for the map to reload. "There!" shouted Sora. Her finger pointed to the single blinking light.

Tension running high, the older Digidestined bolted for the door.

"Hold it!" ordered Davis.

"You lost it or something?" quipped Matt.

"Look, you guys have to go to the Digital World," pointed out the younger boy. "You have to get your Digimon."

They calmed down somewhat. "Alright," agreed Tai. "But let's hurry. Izzy, you go with Davis and the others. Keep your laptop ready."

The red-head nodded. "Don't forget Tentomon!" Tai and his friends left through the Digital Gate.

"Wh-t's goi-- o-?" Mimi was still on the cell phone.

Izzy pulled on his jacket with one hand. "Mimi, we're coming now."

Arukenimon checked for any witnesses before proceeding. Selecting one from the many trees surrounding her, she extracted a white strand from her head. Then Arukenimon began to etch in Digi-code symbols.

Her partner watched in awe. Although Mummymon had seen the operation before, he could never quite remember the order of the designs.

"Done." Arukenimon tightened her grip on the hair. Instead of withdrawing it, she rammed the thread in.

She backed up, watching in satisfaction as the entire tree was engulfed in a column of red. The tree then turned two-dimensional. It had become dark in color. The tree's data had morphed and shifted, forming a portal to another world. A black form wavered in front of them, looming over both humanoid Digimon.

"Arukenimon!" it scowled. "You have failed me again."

She and Mummymon bowed. "I am sorry." There was a tinge of annoyance in her voice.

"You were supposed to dispose of the Digidestined! How else shall our evil kind rise to power? This was be your final attempt." The shadow snarled.

Arukenimon faced her master. "One more chance. That's all I ask."

It did not answer. "Mummymon. What do you think of your efforts so far?"

Mummymon blinked in surprise. "I…" he hesitated. "I think we've tried our best. And that's what counts."

"Wrong answer!" snapped the voice. The undeniable arrogance was making Arukenimon's temper rise. It narrowed it's eyes. "So… you think I have no power, do you Arukenimon? Why don't we see to that?"

The remains of their data were pulled through the portal. "And so ends the trial," it laughed wickedly. "The judge finds the servants guilty."

The portal closed, and the column of crimson vanished.

But the deaths of the servants had not gone unmarked. Two swords lay embedded into the digital soil. Upright, dangerous points were hidden… for now…

Izzy still clutched Matt's phone. Riding in the air on Halsemon with Yolei, he held the device up to his ear. "Mimi? Who's attacking you?"

"I-'s a hum-- -ike Di-imo-."

GD~ In answer to AF's review, I deleted my other fics since I've been rewriting them all. Some don't fit into the new plot line.

Verumon~ Mainly because GD was too lazy to fit them back in.

GD~ Verumon, exactly how did you become my muse?

Verumon~ …Am I supposed to know?

GD~ *sweatdrops* A little note on the fic. Since TK, Cody, Kari, and Yolei did not DNA-Digivolve prior to Black Wargreymon, they might or might not be doing so in this story. I might change who they digivolve with.
