"Hey Ryo! I found something!" Everybody turned around. "Look!" Ryo ran over to Henry. He was holding what seemed to be…

"A digivice!" Kazu and Kenta gasped.

"That's right, and it didn't belong to any of us," Ryo glared at the others. "Do you know what this means?"

"Yes. Some one else has been here."

)Meanwhile…(

"*Huff* Geez! Not another mirage!" Tari was in a very hot place, strangely, with plenty of water. "You stupid place! I know it's another mirage!" But this time, the people were talking.

"Davis! I'm not TA!"

"Geez! Fine, TJ!"

"AARGH!!!!!!!!"

"Will you two just stop arguing!!!!!!! We're here to find out what's wrong in the digital world!!" Yolie was very frustrated. Last week, there was a weird blob of pink stuff, deleting everything in its path.

The two boys looked thoughtful. "You're right Yolie! We should be looking for what's wrong!" TK glared at Davis.

They saw something up ahead.

"Hey! There's somebody up ahead!" Everybody turned around. There was a shadowy sort of figure coming there way.

"Hey, kid! Are you lost or something?!" Matt yelled without thinking.

"Matt! What if that shape is Arukenimon?" Yelled Cody.

"Oh, yeah, I haven't thought of that…"

Tari looked up. Could it be? She thought. The legendary digidestined? Here?

"Hey! Kid! Are you one of us?! Or Arukenimon?!"

"She's not gonna tell you if she is, you know?"

"Oh well, worth trying."

Tari ran up to the digidestined. They were very surprised the shape was a human, much less, a kid! They were even more surprised when she hugged Matt, who was at the head of the party.

"Wha? Get off me!!"

"I'm just soooo happy to see people!! After I got kidnapped by the devas, I thought I'd never see anybody ever again!" Sora was glaring at Tari. She looked at Matt. "Oops, heh heh, sorry Matt." Sora looked less angry. "Saay, could I travel with you guys? I need ot find my brother."

The Digidestined just shrugged.

)Meanwhile…(

"Geez, there's another data stream!" Grumped Rika.

"Rika! Look out!" Rika turned around, and saw a data stream, headed right toward her! Then, she was sucked up into who-knows-where, with Ryo yelling for her.

"RIKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"bee-eep, bee-eep!" Ryo's portable laptop started to beep. "Huh?" He took it out of his backpack. "Hey! I've got mail! Let's see who it is…" He looked at the email, and gasped. "Guys! Look! It's from Tari! She says she's ok, and she's with the Digidestined!" Every body just stared.

"So, does that mean their real?" Jeri whispered.
