In the last chapter:

It was the first night of the DigiDestined's reunion camp, and each member of each tent were speaking their thoughts of the terrible occurrences of the day. In the morning, as another conflict came through, new members of the DigiDestined were brought in to the fight… and Tai had pushed Mimi away, not realizing what it will do to the stability of the group now…

Tai looked back, seeing it was Mimi, and reached out a helping hand to help her up as he was badmouthing Matt at the same time. Suddenly, at the sight of this he interfered and pushed him away so hard he also fell down.

"Don't you dare touch her," he muttered viciously, helping her up himself.

"He was only trying to help!" Sora complained, helping Tai up.

"Yes, after pushing me, he did," Mimi said defensively to herself, although not meaning it to be out loud, and not meaning to start an entire new fight also.

"Yes, and that proves that he was trying to help anyway, and that the push was entirely accidental. Good intentions-"

Mimi turned her nose to the air. "To you, all of Tai's intentions are good."

"Says you, crybaby!"

"HEY!" Izzy stepped forward furiously. "What has she ever done to you? And she's far more powerful than you are so she's not a crybaby!"

"Look who's talking," Yolei stepped forward also, with an attitude. "Now, who was bursting into tears when their laptop was destroyed?"

"Was not!"

"Was so!"

"Was not! Anyway, I already had the skill to fix it, unlike any of you, and it's already fixed anyway, so we shall discuss it no further. Period."

"Ohh… I understand. You're not man enough to admit that you cry womanish tears."

Ken stepped forward, pulling Izzy back by the shirt. "Leave him alone, Yolei."

"Ohh, so you're getting involved, are you?" Cody snorted. "Now I seem to recall why I never trusted you from the beginning!"

Ken's jaw dropped. "I am no longer the Emperor, Cody. I thought we were over all that nonsense about me being evil. But I guess your mind is so thick that even the greatest change I made into the realm of good heart did not register in your brain!"

"CALM DOWN! PLEASE, CALM DOWN!" Joe begged with a loud yell.

"THAT'S IT!!!!!" Tai yelled angrily. "I can't stand you all! Kari, Sora, Davis, Yolei and Cody, let's go! We don't have to stick around these traitors!"

"Right!" Sora agreed, linking her arm harshly around his.

"Fine," Matt turned his back. "Go!"

Mimi turned her nose into the air. "Go ahead! Nobody needs you, not even yourselves!"

Kari followed as Tai, Sora, Davis, Yolei and Cody along with their Digimon marched with much courage into the woods. But she was so worried now as she saw the sea of trees grow around her, and she did not really think that this new company actually knew where they were going, more like they were just marching ignorantly into a dark forest to boil over their anger. So she worked up the courage to talk to her brother, hoping he would not yell at her.

"Er, Tai…"

"What do you want Kari?!" he yelled at her, and Kari's previous hope was shattered. "Things are already bad enough without questions, okay?!"

She jumped with surprise at his savage reaction. "Where… are… we?" she stuttered.

"As long as we're away from those traitors, nothing really matters," Yolei replied.

Kari looked guiltily down at her feet, and walked on, following her companions deep into the dark heart of the woods.

"We'll set up camp right here," Tai decided.

"This place…" Cody began, clinging to Yolei, "is so dark… and scary…"

Meanwhile, at the original campsite…

"C'mon! let's leave!"

"But where would we go, Matt?" Joe asked.

"Don't tell me we have to go to the woods like the others did, let's just think of something else," T.K turned to Ken, Izzy and Mimi. "You guys agree with me… right?"

The only thing they said in answer to that was… nothing. Their replies were only looks so vengeful, so full of hatred and anger that it made T.K back away slightly, never before seeing this hateful and corrupted side of the DigiDestined.

"Sorry, kid," Ken said angrily. "I'll have to agree with your brother."

"If they decide to come back and we're not here, they'll learn not to be so stubborn," Izzy explained through narrow eyes.

"That's exactly right," Mimi continued. "I hope you're not thinking of any good with those pests."

"No," T.K and Joe sighed, following the four stubborn friends in the lead off to another part of the woods.

"Excellent!" Devimon cackled. "We've done it, Ogremon! We've torn the DigiDestined apart!"

"Uhh, yes," Ogremon replied hesitantly, getting instant flashbacks of when Mimi had been so nice to him and tended to his wounds.

"Now that they're torn apart, we can attack. I'll attack the group led by Yamato and his Gabumon, as I have a score to settle with his brother's Angemon. You, Ogremon, have my pleasure to destroy Taichi and his Agumon's group."

"But, master, Angewomon… she's…"

"Too powerful for you to handle?!" Devimon asked with a sarcastic glint in his eyes.

" No, sir," Ogremon mumbled, bowing his head down in depression.

"Good. I expect you to destroy her. Are you not my loyal servant, who will stick by me even when death endangers me?"

"Yes, sir," Ogremon backed away, wanting time to himself so he could think.

As he walked off, he knew to follow Devimon's orders and to think no more of Mimi's good deeds. He, at that moment, knew to think himself as evil, as a faithful follower of the dark side, as a Digimon with a heart of stone.

"Ogremon, could you come back for a moment, please?"

Ogremon turned around anxiously. "…At your service, master…?"

"Let us leave. It is time."

"Yes…" Ogremon began doubtfully, "…sir."
