"Where is TK?" wondered Cody. "He has been gone a long time."
"How much trouble do you think he could have gotten into around here?" asked Willis.
"Trouble? In the Digital World? A lot," answered Cody.
"I guess you have a point," agreed Willis.
"A point. He is right," said Terriermon.
"You just can't admit it," added Lopmon.
"I think we should go looking for him," said Cody.
"I agree," said Willis, "I hope that he isn't in too much trouble."
"TK can handle it. He has Patamon with him," Armadillomon pointed-out.
"I think he went that way," said Willis as he began to head in the general direction TK had wandered off.
"Wait until I tell the others!" yelled Cody. He sent a quick e-mail and raced after Willis and his twin digimon. Armadillomon was right on his heels.
Willis, Cody, Terriermon, Lopmon, and Armadillomon made it to the narrow trail and were just about to go down when TK came up it. Patamon was still cradled in his arms.
"What happened, TK?" asked Cody when he saw how beat-up Patamon was.
"We found him," answered TK.
"What? Who?" asked Willis.
"BlackWarGreyMon," replied TK.
"He left the forest?!" exclaimed Terriermon.
"Is that a good thing?" asked Lopmon.
"What happened after that?" asked Willis.
"MangaAngemon fought him and lost," TK snapped. "Now who knows where he is at?"
"I'd better send an e-mail to the other search parties. They aren't going to find anything now," said Cody as he began to type on his D-Terminal.
"I have and e-mail from TK," said Cody. "Found a disturbance in a canyon, going to check it out."
"I guess we are a little late for that," snickered Willis.
"I hope everyone is safe," muttered Armadillomon.
"I am sure they are," answered Terriermon. Lopmon shook his head in agreement.
**************************************************************************** ****
The group had gotten back together and were discussing what to do next. It was getting late in the day, the sun was setting. Many of the digi- destined were worried about what their parents would say when they got back after being gone so long.
"Now what do we do?" asked Matt.
"We can't do any more tonight. My parents are going to kill me as is," said Yolie.
"I don't think they are literally going to kill you," said Hawkmon.
"We also just can't do nothing," Cody pointed out.
"We have to find him," said Ken.
"And do what?" asked Sora.
"I am against fighting him," said Kari, "Fighting is going to get us no where in this situation,"
"But we can't let him destroy everything," argued TK.
"There is a difference between fighting and defending," said Joe. "We won't fight him, but if it comes down to it, we will defend."
"That is a good idea, Joe," said Mimi. Joe smiled and looked away. "I can get Michael. We can use all the help we can get,"
"Good idea," complimented Gomamon. Joe looked sad.
"Don't worry, Kari," said Davis. "If anything goes wrong I will protect you." TK snorted.
"Why would I need you when I have Gatomon?" asked Kari, innocently.
"She has you there," snickered Veemon.
"Hey," protested TK.
"So, we have a plan, well, sort of," said Tai. "Now what?"
"Someone should keep an eye on the situation," suggested Izzy.
"But how when everyone had dinner and homework?" asked Sora.
"Not to mention keeping an eye on the new digi-destined," added Biyomon.
"Yeah, we don't want to leave them unaided," agreed Tentomon.
"Maybe we could split into groups again," suggested Armadillomon.
"Yeah! Some could work with the new digi-destined and others could find BlackWarGreyMon," agreed Gabumon.
"And we could switch back and forth," suggested Palmon.
"It might just work," said Cody.
"But what if he attacks?" asked TK.
"You are being too negative," scolded Patamon.
"Then we e-mail for back up, PB," said Davis. TK rolled his eyes. The sky opened up. It was filled with a glowing light. A long, blue sinusoidal digimon appeared. He was Azulongmon, one of the digital guardians.
"AGH!" screamed Joe as he ducked.
"Don't worry," said Terriermon.
"It is only Azulongmon," added Lopmon.
"Something must be wrong for him to show up," said Wormmon.
"Greetings, digi-destined," said Azulongmon.
"Hi, what is wrong?" asked Cody.
"Why do you instantly assume that something is wrong?" asked Azulongmon.
"Because there normally is," answered Tai.
"And it is true this time," said Azulongmon. "The digital world is going to be in danger."
"I knew it was a bad idea to let BlackWarGreyMon go free," muttered TK.
"BlackWarGreyMon? He is back?" asked Azulongmon.
"Yes," the group chorused.
"I did not know that," muttered the holy beast.
"How is it possible for him even to come back?" asked Ken, "I mean, he isn't a true digimon, is he?"
"Always thinking," compliment Azulongmon. "Apparently, he must be a real digimon, in order to reconfigure."
"But how is that possible?" asked TK.
"Probably the same way every digimon does," said Patamon.
"Yes," agreed Azulongmon. "It takes a fluctuation of data in the digital world, and the wish for that digimon to come back."
"What?!" exclaimed Davis.
"Do you mean someone wants BlackWarGreyMon back?" asked Joe.
"I find that hard to believe," said Veemon.
"That is what happened, it doesn't matter if you believe or not," said Azulongmon.
"Who wanted him back?" asked Matt.
"Even I do not know that," replied the holy beast.
"Didn't you say something about the digital world being in danger?" asked Joe.
"Yes, all of the guardians can feel it. Something is going to happen and all of you need to be prepared," answered Azulongmon.
"What is going to happen?" asked Izzy.
"The future is an unknown," replied Azulongmon. "But I will help you prepare. I will give you some of my strength so your digimon can reach their mega forms." Much cheering from the digimon at this point.
"I most leave you now. My post demands my attention," said Azulongmon as he flew away.
"Great, one more thing to worry about," said Willis, getting concerned.
"Don't worry," said Terriermon.
"We can handle it," added Lopmon.
"We'd better get this situation worked out with BlackWarGreyMon before another enemy appears," said Mimi.
"What if BlackWarGreyMon is the enemy?" asked TK.
"I don't think so," said Joe, "Azulongmon would have known if it was him."
"We need to get home before we all end up grounded and can't do anything," said Yolie.
"I agree to that," said Kari.
"Yeah, let's call it a night," said Davis, instantly agreeing with whatever Kari said. The digi-destined began to split up to head back to their various homes. Tai and Agumon were the last to leave.
"Are you OK?" Tai asked, "You are being awfully quiet."
"Oh, just thinking," answered Agumon.
The next day.....
"How hard can it be to teach people about digimon?" moaned Davis in exasperation. He and Ken had spent their Saturday morning teaching the new digi-destined about the digital world. "We had no instructions and got along fine!"
"Speak for yourself," muttered Veemon.
"I have to agree with Veemon on this," agreed Ken.
"Who's side are you on!" exclaimed Davis.
"We'd better meet up with the others," urged Wormmon.
"Yes, come on! I can't wait to see Kari!" exclaimed Davis as he raced off. Ken just smiled and shook his head.
"Anything new happen?" asked Joe as the group assembled.
"Not that I know of," replied Tai.
"No news in the underground," stated Armadillomon.
"Any sign of BlackWarGreyMon?" asked TK.
"Nope," replied Patamon.
"How about the new threat that Azulongmon warned us about?" asked Matt. "Does anyone know anything about it?"
"Sorry, Matt no," said Izzy. "I looked all night. I couldn't find anything."
"Do we even know if it is an enemy?" asked Cody. Everyone looked at him.
"How can it not be an enemy?" asked Willis.
"All Azulongmon said was that something is going to happen, probably for the worst. He never said what that was," Cody pointed out.
"That is a good observation Cody," complimented Izzy.
"But we should be prepared for the worst," added Davis.
"Why does the worst always involve a huge fight?" moaned Tentomon.
"I hope that we don't have to fight," muttered Kari.
"Don't worry about it," said Davis.
"Now I know we are in trouble," commented Yolie.
"Very funny," retorted Davis. Veemon nodded in agreement.
"We are done with the new digi-destined for the day," said Willis, "And we don't know enough about this 'threat' to do anything."
"So, what should we do?" asked Gatomon.
"We need to get information," said Ken.
"And we need to find BlackWarGreyMon," added TK.
"We can split up again," said Mimi. "That worked before."
"Not really," countered Palmon.
"I can work with Ken and Izzy as well as Wormmon and Tentomon to find out about this threat that Azulongmon was talking about," volunteered Willis.
"The rest of us can scout around for any dangers," added Tai.
"What do we do if we find BlackWarGreyMon?" asked Sora.
"We make sure he doesn't hurt anyone," said TK.
"But we don't want to provoke him into attacking," added Kari.
"Kari is right," said Davis as he scooted closer to her.
"What are the groups going to be?" asked Biyomon.
"Davis, why don't you come with us?" asked Izzy. "We may need Imperialdramon before this is all over."
"I was hoping I could be with Kari," he muttered as he walked over to Ken, Willis, and Izzy.
"Tai, you wouldn't mind going with Gabumon and me, would you?" asked Matt.
"Of course not! Right, Agumon?" asked Tai.
"Right!" agreed Agumon.
"Can I come with you?" asked Sora.
"Sure," agreed Matt and Tai together.
"Kari and I are together!" exclaimed Yolie.
"Fine by me," agreed Hawkmon and Gatomon.
"OK," agreed Kari.
"I'll go with you girls," said Mimi.
"Awesome!" smiled Yolie.
"Joe, why don't we go with them?" asked Gomamon.
"Um...." stammered Joe.
"We'd love to have you," smiled Mimi. Joe started to blush.
"Why does Joe get all the girls?" protested Willis. Terriermon and Lopmon snickered.
"What is wrong with him?" asked Palmon. Gomamon just shrugged.
"That leaves TK and Cody, right?" asked Davis.
"They can come with us," volunteered Tai. With the groups established they split to do their individual tasks. Willis, Davis, Ken, and Izzy returned to the real world to surf the net for any disturbances. Tai, Matt, Sora, TK, and Cody went east. The last group; Joe, Mimi, Yolie, and Kari went west.
