"What a day!" exclaimed Willis as he feel back into his bed that night.

"It was fun!" exclaimed Kokomon.

"And we didn't have anything trying to kill us," agreed Gummymon.

"You guys are getting paranoid," said Willis.

"Well, in all the movies we watch, the bad stuff always happen when things are going good," said Gummymon.

"And then the baddies show up and things get ugly," added Kokomon. "But luckily the good guys always win. And we're the good guys!"

"No more late night movies and caffeine for the two of you," scolded Willis. "I need to get some sleep."

"You could have gone to sleep earlier if you didn't talk to Kari on the phone for an hour," said Kokomon.

"Kari and Willis sitting in a tree," Gummymon started to sing.

"Knock it off!" exclaimed Willis.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! A red light with a buzzer began to flash on Willis' computer.

"What's that?" asked Kokomon.

"It's not time for Christmas," said Gummymon.

"Huh?" asked Willis. He slipped out of his bed and walked over.

Within thirty seconds he had logged into his computer and was examining it.

"Well, what is it?" demanded his digimon.

"It's my virus scanner," said Willis.

"Is someone trying to hack into your computer?" asked Gummymon.

"No," said Willis, crease lines appearing in his forehead. "I set up this program to scan the digital world for any viruses...... I set it up after we managed to get Kokomon back. I wasn't going to lose you again to another virus."

"So why is it beeping?" asked Kokomon. "Are we in trouble?"

"It's not that," said Willis. "The program was designed to find the threat before it hurt you guys. So you are safe. But this is the first time it went off."

"So what happened?" asked Gummymon.

"What did it find?" added Kokomon.

"A virus," answered Willis, who was still typing.

"And.....?" the digimon started to ask.

But before they could finish talking the speakers of Willis' computer sparked to life. They cracked and made awful static sounds for a moment, before a disconnected voice came through.

"Find the core, find the heart! Find the core, find the heart! Find the core, find the heart!" it repeatedly said.

"What the?" asked Willis, watching his computer with wide eyes.

"I don't like this," moaned Kokomon.

The computer screen flickered for a moment. Then it flashed and a new image flashed across it. Actually, many images flashed across it. They were scenes of the digital world, and they flickered by so quickly Willis could hardly make sense of any of them.

"What is going on?" asked Gummymon.

"It is looking for something....." said Willis, as he trailed off.

The scenes began to slow down until it paused at one. It was the unmistakable image of one of the new Destiny Stones.

"Find the core, find the heart! Find the core, find the heart!" the voice again repeated on the speakers.

"Find the heart?" asked Willis.

"Find the heart of the digital world!" the voice said. With another spark from the speakers, the computer shut down.

"What is the big idea!" yelled Willis.

"What just happened?" asked Gummymon.

"I don't know," said Willis. "But I think we'd better e-mail the others. I think we are going to need all sorts of help."
