Chapter 8: Forest Guardian! Konteimon!

Tachikawa Residence, Odaiba District, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. April 20th, 2002. 0424 Hours.
P.O.V. – Mimi Tachikawa

I splashed water on my face in the bathroom as I woke up from the same nightmare yet again. That's the third time this week! It's always me in a dark place and that phrase that keeps repeating. 'Mimi… why did you abandon me?' I hear Palmon say. I then turn to see her with blood red eyes and one of those rings around her neck before she attacks me and I wake up. Is this my subconscious feeling guilty about everything? I know I already am.

Everyone else has returned to the Digital World and found their Digimentals and are busy risking everything fighting that Digimon Kaiser… while I've just been acting like a normal school girl who's on the cheerleading squad. And all of this because I'm scared of worrying my parents all over again. Ugh, why didn't I just not tell them? Then everything would've been so much easier. I could be able to help Palmon and the others without fear of my parents getting upset with me for disobeying them. This is just a large mess I've found myself in this time. I crawled back into bed and tried to go back to sleep, hopeful I don't have that nightmare again.

P.O.V. – Third Person

At the Motomiya Residence, Daisuke was sleeping peacefully in his messy room after he fell out of his bed during his sleep. The alarm began to ring which woke up Chibimon but not him.
"Daisuke?" Chibimon looked over to the bed and saw that Daisuke wasn't in it. He looked back to the floor and saw him down there. "Daisuke! Daisuke!" Nothing. The boy was snoring louder than the alarm. "Daisuke! Daisuke!" He jumped off the bed and began to bounce on Daisuke's stomach. "Daisuke! Daisuke!" Daisuke eventually woke up and saw Chibimon sitting on his stomach with a big smile on his face. "Good morning, Daisuke."
"Ah… good morning, Chibimon…" He slowly got up. "My stomach… hurts a bit…"

At the Iori Residence, Iori was getting dressed for the day while listening to Beethoven's 'Symphony No. 9' before he soon noticed that Upamon was missing.
"I wonder where Upamon went…" Iori said to himself. He opened the door to the living room and saw Upamon on the table with a wicker fruit basket over his head while his mother had her back turned from him. "Upamon?" Upamon turned around to look at Iori before he jumped back over to him.
"Iori!"
"You can't wander around the house on your own!"
"Your mom is making something weird!"
"Something weird?" He looked to see his mother cutting up some food. "Oh, that's kanpyomaki." He explained as he walked back into the room.
"Kanpyomaki?"
"Yeah, Miyako-san asked for it. Kan-pyo-maki." Iori pronounced.

At the Yagami Residence, where Ross and Taichi had left thirty minutes earlier, Hikari was in her own room packing somethings into her backpack. She had now had the room that she and Taichi once shared for a few months now ever since she complained to her mother about some personal issues. The whole family knew exactly what she was meaning and Taichi packed up his stuff and transferred over to the guest bedroom, which he and Ross normally shared now.
"Am I going in there too?" Tailmon asked as Hikari was humming a song.
"Yeah, Tailmon! Come on, in you go!" She picked up Tailmon and put her in, causing the cat Digimon to complain as she was trying to fight her way out.

Across the bridge, Ken was having some difficulties getting out of Tamachi by bike… as he was being pursued by a couple of overzealous fan girls.
"I'm beginning to think those girls are just camped outside your apartment building!" Wormmon shouted from inside the duffle bag that Ken had wrapped over his back.
"I think you might be right! I wish these girls would take the hint that they're being way too forward!" Ken cried as he made a jump over the sidewalk as he now made it to the Rainbow Bridge before heading his way to the elementary school in Odaiba.

At the Takaishi Residence, Takeru was heading out as well.
"I'm leaving!" He told his mom as he begun to walk out the door. "Oh wait! I forgot something!" He quickly went back inside and grabbed his bag. The bag began to twitch and move.
"Takeru! You forgot about me, how could you?" Patamon cried from the bag.
"Sorry, Patamon."

Finally, at the Inoue's convenient store, Miyako was stocking up on food.
"Three with tuna-mayo, two with bonito, one orange drink…" Miyako was telling off her list to her mother who was working the register.
"And what's this for again?" She asked.
"Like I said, this is for the computer club's picnic…"
"Three tuna-mayo, two bonito, one orange drink…" Mrs. Inoue finished reading off the long list. "And where are you going?"
"Add two jam buns. And I told you, we haven't decided yet."
"That's kind of suspicious…"
"No, it's not!" The two of them stared down each other for a few moments before Miyako ran for the door. "Bye, Mom!"
"Miyako!" She was already out the door. Miyako's bag suddenly began to make noise as she was at the street corner.
"Miyako-san!" Poromon cried from the bag.
"Oh, no! Poromon, are you okay?" She asked as she opened the duffle bag to see Poromon buried under a bunch of food and drinks.
"I'm find, but please try to be gentle!"
"Sorry, sorry…"

"What are you doing, Miyako-san?" Takeru asked her as he and Iori ran up to her.
"Come on, let's go!" Iori insisted. The three of them headed to the school where they met up with the other three members of their group.
"Did you wait long?" Miyako questioned as they arrived.
"About time…" Daisuke muttered.
"Well, I guess everyone's here now." observed Ken.
"Alright, time to go picnic!"
"Yeah!" Everyone shouted. They all then quietly began to sneak into the school building as they were planning to get to the computer lab.
"Why do I have to sneak into the computer club if I'm already in the computer club?" Miyako groaned.
"We have no choice, the use of school facilities is prohibited during weekends unless stated otherwise." Iori reminded. Daisuke quickly shushed the two of them which they remembered.

When they opened the door, they found themselves looking at a familiar face.
"Koushiro-san?" They all questioned.
"Good morning, everyone." He said.
"What are you doing here?" Ken asked.
"Keeping watch for Ross-san and Taichi-san right now."
"Wait, they're in the Digital World?" Takeru inquired.
"Yeah, and well, Ross-san at least, is not happy. Something about you all should be more focused on destroying Dark Towers like they're doing right now and not going on a picnic." The computer genius explained.
"Hey, we've been working hard this entire week! We deserve a bit of a break!" Daisuke defended.
"That's probably not how Ross-chan would see it." Hikari muttered.
"Look, let's just go. Excuse me, Izumi-senpai." Miyako moved him aside and got her Digivice out. "Chosen Children, let's roll!" They were just about to go when the door slid open again. The children turned and while the newer Chosen Children looked on the verge of panicking, the experienced members were completely calm.
"Mimi-san?" They all said in a somewhat surprised tone.

P.O.V. – Mimi Tachikawa

"Mimi-san?" The newer Chosen Children questioned.
"Was I interrupting anything?" I asked.
"Not really. Daisuke-kun, Ken-kun, Miyako-san, Iori-kun… This is one of the earlier Chosen Children, Tachikawa Mimi!" Takeru introduced me.
"Aw, Sora-san told us about you!" Miyako said.
"Well, she's told me all about you guys during our lunch periods." I replied.
"Bingo…" She muttered.
"What's with that?"
"We were just about to go to the Digital World." Daisuke informed.
"I guessed that considering you're all technically not supposed to be here today. Patamon, Tailmon, you look well."
"Thank you!" They thanked.

"Um, Mimi-san? What exactly are you doing here today?" Koushiro asked.
"I… um… I wanted to go to the Digital World." I admitted.
"Judging from that tone, I assume there's more going on there." Ken guessed.
"Is Palmon in trouble?" Hikari suddenly looked worried.
"No… I haven't gotten any emergency messages like some of the others, but I am worried about her." I explained.
"Your parents don't know you're here, do they?" Takeru figured it out, much to the new kids confusion.
"No, my cousin is having her wedding tomorrow and well, my parents assumed I was going to go hang out with her before her bachelorette party tonight which I'm not allowed to attend."
"I don't understand." Iori spoke up.
"Let's just say, my parents and the Digimon have a rough relationship. Besides, I'm feeling pretty guilty about being the only Chosen Child who hasn't gone to the Digital World yet."

"Well, then come along with us!" Miyako exclaimed.
"Miyako, you don't get to decide that…" Daisuke told her.
"Eh? She can't?"
"No, I'm fine with it, but…"
"I agree." "Me too!" "Same here!" "Let her tag along." The others agreed.
"Bingo, bingo, bingo!" Miyako excitedly cheered. I smiled. At least I'll visit one time... "Chosen Children, let's roll!" The light from the screen brightened and all of us excluding Koushiro were sent to the Digital World.

The light dimmed down and I could now see I was in the Digital World once more. I checked to see if what the others said was true and sure enough, my clothes had changed. I was now wearing a blue and red T-shirt that exposed my midriff that had a white stripe across the chest and a yellow star in the middle. I also had a white skirt and tall white boots with beige platform heels and a cute maroon strap on each.
"Dark Towers…" I heard Daisuke say. "None!" The others sounded relived. I was more just admiring the fact that I was back, and it made me happy. I looked to the ground and saw a large purple flower and for a second there… I saw it turn into Palmon who stood up and looked at me with her green eyes and a happy smile on her face.
"Mimi!" God, if you could, please let our paths cross today.

We soon began marching up the hill while the others explained to me what I had missed. I wasn't too lost, thanks to Sora and the others telling me what was going on at school.
"So why are we in an area without any Dark Towers?" I asked.
"Because we're planning to have our picnic here." informed Miyako.
"A picnic in the Digital World? We'd never have thought of it in our time." Wait, our time? Good grief, I sound like my grandmother! "Times change, huh?" There it is again!
"We only came here to destroy Dark Towers until now. But we've been working hard these past two weeks; we thought we could have some fun in the Digital World for once."
"Of course, Ross-san and Taichi-san would argue against that." Ken spoke up. "They're currently going after towers as we speak, I believe."
"Daisuke-kun, can we have lunch?" Takeru wondered.
"Isn't it too early?" He claimed.
"I'm hungry…" Hikari admitted. Daisuke suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Let's have lunch!" Well, that was quick.
"What's that about?" Takeru muttered to himself.

We pulled out a picnic cloth and began to pull out our food.
"I got some onigiri from our convenience store… Want one?" Miyako offered.
"Thank you." I took it from her.
"Hawkmon, you?"
"I will have… those." He pointed to the kanpyomaki that Iori and Armadimon were eating.
"Kanpyomaki?"
"Iori-san, a kanpyomaki, please."
"Okay, dagyaa!" "Don't throw it!" Iori's order to Armadimon was too late as he threw it and flew past the bird Digimon before rolling down the hill.
"M-my kanpyomaki!" Hawkmon ran after it while Miyako ran after him.
"My mother made this food, you shouldn't treat it like that." Iori scolded.
"Iori… sorry, dagyaa…" After a couple of minutes, I started to wonder what happened to Miyako and Hawkmon as they didn't return so I got up to look for them.
"Miyako-chan! Hawkmon! Where are you?" I called out. "Miya-" I suddenly felt the whole ground underneath me open up and soon I felt like I was falling before everything went black.

"Mimi-san?" "Mimi-san?" I slowly began to regain consciousness as heard voices calling my name and someone shaking my arm.
"What…?" I opened my eyes.
"She woke up!" "She's awake." I looked to see two familiar faces.
"Miyako-chan… Hawkmon…" I looked around to see we were still in a forest but it was dark and looked like it was night time. "Where are we?"
"Look at that." Miyako pointed ahead to a black obelisk over the forest. "That's a Dark Tower."
"This is the Digimon Kaiser's territory." Hawkmon informed. Suddenly we heard a lot of chattering sounds and a whole bunch of red eyes beginning to stare at us from up ahead. They got closer before it was soon revealed it was a whole horde of Gekomon and Otamamon. Of course, the red eyes could only mean one thing, though…
"Gekomon and Otamamon!" I shouted.
"You know them, Mimi-san?" Miyako asked.
"Yeah, they're my friends..."
"Not anymore, not with those Evil Rings on them!" Hawkmon saw what we were all seeing.
"Run!" I shouted as the whole horde began to chase us.

This was similar to my nightmares. I was worried about finding Palmon with an Evil Ring and her attacking me but this is just as bad. We ran down a hill as fast as we could but I'm pretty sure they were gaining on us. Sadly, though stylish as they were, this outfit of mine was not truly built for high speeds on uneven terrain as I suddenly found myself falling forward because I tripped on something.
"Got you!" The horde called out.
"Noo!" Miyako cried. "Those freaky frogs and tadpoles are gonna get Mimi-oneesama!" Oneesama? Miyako sees me as an older sister? Hmm, I'm touched.
"Miyako-chan, run away…" I told her. "I'd never thought I'd be in a position to say that…" I suddenly found myself tangled up not in the fins of the Gekomon and Otamamon but rather vines… very familiar looking vines. "Palmon?" The three of us were dragged into the bushes as the Gekomon and Otamamon ran on by.

"Looks like they're gone." Palmon informed. I couldn't help myself but let tears fill my eyes. My prayers had been answered and even better, Palmon wasn't victim to an Evil Ring like my nightmares showed.
"Palmon…" I said through the tears.
"Mimi… Mimi!" Palmon was crying as well.
"Palmon!" We ran to each other and embraced one another.
"I've missed you!"
"Me too!"
"How've you been?"
"It felt like you were calling me, Palmon!"
"I also knew you'd come to the Digital World somehow… You came to help us, right?"
"You better believe it… at least for today…" I admitted. Both of us stopped crying.
"What do you mean, Mimi? This forest is under the Digimon Kaiser's rule and the Otamamon and Gekomon have Evil Rings on them… not to mention the rest of the Digital World, and you're only going to come once?"
"I'm sorry, Palmon. I promise you we'll destroy that Dark Tower and free the Otamamon and Gekomon."

"Mimi-san, we can't do this all alone." Miyako said.
"Miyako-san, please contact Daisuke and the rest." requested Hawkmon. Miyako pulled out her devices but got nothing.
"Come on, pick up the signal! Damn it! We're not getting anything!"
"So we're on our own…" I sadly admitted.

P.O.V. – Third Person

"Miyako!" "Hawkmon!" "Mimi-san!" The others were calling out trying to find where the two girls had vanished to. Daisuke soon felt his Digivice vibrating and pulled it out.
"Daisuke-kun? What's wrong?" asked Ken.
"Over here, guys!" They gathered around him and saw a dot flash on his screen but it was faded. "I think it's a message from Miyako, but…"
"It's coming through, but it's weak…" Takeru observed. "Where did they go?"
"Maybe the Digimon Kaiser got to them?" Iori feared and the rest soon joined him in that feeling.

The Kaiser hadn't gotten to the girls, but was well aware of their plight as he had them on his monitor at the moment.
"Looks like this weekend just turned around." He was referencing the fact that a tower had already been destroyed a few hours ago by Taichi and Ross and they were currently threatening another one. However, he decided that dealing with the girls would be easier and much more fun. "Monodramon."
"Wh-what?"
"Who do we have in that area?"
"The Gokimon Brothers."
"I see…" The Kaiser began to laugh.

P.O.V. – Miyako Inoue

"It's no use… we can't reach anyone." I sighed. I then suddenly remembered what Mimi was saying earlier. "Hey, Mimi-san? What did you mean earlier by this will be like the only time you'll be able to help?" Mimi sighed.
"I'm a fool." She said. "I'm a fool because I can't do anything right."
"How so?" Hawkmon asked.
"It's my parents… after our previous adventures; I didn't really explain anything to them as they never pressed me about it. As it turns out, because I didn't explain anything, I nearly ended up moving back the United States. Vamdemon's invasion and me going to fight the Dark Masters and Apoclymon terrified them. That's why they wanted to move, to try and get as far away from Digimon as possible. Last Monday, us older Chosen Children agreed that we need to tell our families about the Digital World being in trouble again… and my parents were once again afraid, and that's my biggest concern! I want to help save the Digital World again, but I don't want to put my parents through that hell again."
"And the only time thing?" Palmon questioned.
"My parents will probably send me to live with my grandparents in Nashville, or my aunt's family in New York while Dad tries to look for a job in the states again."

Our conversation was interrupted when we heard rustling in the bushes near us.
"Hey ladies, what's got you down?" Two voices said at the same time. "How about a date with us?" We turned and what we saw made us scream.
"Noo! Cockroaches!" Mimi and I held each other in fear while Hawkmon and Palmon stared down the two large cockroach Digimon that had Evil Rings around their antenna.
"Don't even think about it!" They replied.
"That hurts, man…" One of the roaches said. "Big Gokimon brother!"
"What is it, little brother?" The other Gokimon asked.
"Since they hurt us, let's get them!"
"That's a good idea."
"You guys are brothers?" I questioned.
"The Gokimon Brothers! You got a problem?" They both shouted.
"I don't."

"Now then, big Gokimon brother, your special attack."
"No, no, little Gokimon brother, you go first."
"You get along well, huh?" Mimi noticed.
"We Brothers sure do! You got a problem?" They shouted again.
"I don't."
"Okay then, big brother, let's attack together."
"That's a good idea, little brother."
"Dream Dust!" They both cried and we were suddenly buried under a pile of garbage!
"What is this? It's just garbage!" Mimi angrily exclaimed. The brothers only laughed.
"What's going on?" I asked as I finally reached to top of the pile… and found a whole piano crashed right in front of us.
"It's not just garbage…" We looked up and bolted before a refrigerator crashed on top of us.

We were once again running trying to avoid all the stuff they were dropping on us. It was practically everything but… no wait, there's the kitchen sink.
"Palmon, can't you evolve!?" Mimi questioned.
"Not until we destroy that Dark Tower!"
"Isn't this easy, big brother?"
"It sure is, little brother?"
"I guess even the Evil Rings don't stop brotherhood!" I observed. "It'd be kind of beautiful… if Mimi-san and I…" My mind drifted to the idea of Mimi and I being sisters. I mean, I still love Mantarou, Momoe, and Chizuru, but for whatever reason, I kinda feel more of a connection to Mimi right now.
"What are you fantasizing about?" Hawkmon brought me back to reality. "Do you understand, Miyako-san?! We are in big trouble right now!"
"Sorry, sorry! Digimental Up!"
"Hawkmon, Armor-Evolve! Wings of Love, HOLSMON!"

"Miyako-san!" I hopped on to Holsmon's back as we took to the skies.
"Let's go, Holsmon!"
"Miyako-chan… you look pretty cool…" Mimi said as we flew away.
"Red Sun!" Holsmon launched his counterattack which hit both roaches.
"Big brother, are you okay?"
"I'm okay, little brother…"
"Okay, let's get serious!"
"Right, we still have the advantage!"
"Gokimon Brothers Kick!" They both came right for us. We dodge but that was our mistake. "Got ya!" We turned to see one coming back for us which we avoided as well, but Holsmon was kicked in the stomach by the other one who ambushed us.
"Ahh!" Holsmon roared in pain as I was knocked off his back and fell to the ground before.
"Miyako! Poison Ivy!" Palmon quickly grabbed me before I was able to hit the ground but it dragged her down the hill.

"Ow…" We groaned.
"Are you alright?" Mimi asked as she ran down the hill after us.
"Yeah, but what about Holsmon?" I asked. We looked up and it was starting to look like he was getting overwhelmed. "He needs help!"
"But I can't evolve!" Palmon complained.
"Maybe you can… What's that over there?" Mimi pointed behind us. We found ourselves looking at a small Shinto shrine with a familiar object in it.
"A Digimental!" I cried. It was a green one with a purple shuriken on the bottom of it.
"Mimi!" Palmon seemed to notice something about it.
"The Crest of Purity!" Mimi recognized the symbol.

"Mimi-chan! Holsmon needs help! You've got to lift that!" I cried.
"But…" She hesitated.
"Mimi-chan, listen to me! You're one of the nicest girls I've ever met. You're worried about putting tons of stress on your parents while also wanting to help the Digital World. That's the most considerate thing I've ever heard. If my parents found out, I wouldn't care as much because they wouldn't stop me from doing this. But you want consider your parents feelings and that's why I admire you so much! But you can't be afraid to stand up for yourself and what your heart believes is right! That's what Sora-san and the others have taught me."
"Miyako-chan…" She smiled. "You're right. I sometimes forget it, but I need to fight my own battles, even if I don't want to." She then looked to the Digimental. She walked up to it and after coming to grips with herself again, she picked it up and it began to glow. She looked to her Digivice and saw it turn into a new one with a light pink side. She then turned to Palmon who nodded with her. "Digimental Up!" She shouted.
"Palmon, Armor-Evolve! Roots of Purity, KONTEIMON!"

Konteimon was quite a unique looking Digimon. She had large roots for legs, a pink flower around her neck, moss covered arms, and the shuriken part of the armor was around her head.
"Holsmon! Lead them back here!" Mimi called out to him while she led me closer to the Dark Tower. "See those search lights? What do roaches hate the most?" She asked me.
"Bingo!" I replied. Holsmon followed the orders he was given and flew back towards Konteimon.
"Strike Root!" Two giant roots shot out of the ground and swatted the two bugs hard to the ground in front of the Dark Tower.
"Don't think we're done!" The brothers defiantly yelled.
"Think again!" Mimi and I replied as we turned two search lights on them, blinding them both.
"Ahh!" The covered their eyes.
"Now, Holsmon! Shuriken Toss!" Konteimon tossed the shuriken off the back of her head and the large object collided with the brothers and pinned them against the tower.
"Red Sun!" Holsmon fired and caused a massive explosion that hit the brothers and destroyed the tower! Mimi and I gave each other a high ten.

P.O.V. – Third Person

"My territory has shrunk!" The Kaiser growled as he now saw he lost three towers, two in just a few minutes apart. "So much for a nice weekend." He walked away. "I'm going home." He informed Monodramon.
"Osamu-chan… what happened to you?" Monodramon quietly muttered under his breath. At the same time, Ross and Taichi had returned back to the computer lab.
"Well, that was a good job." Taichi said.
"Love to see the look on the Kaiser's face after what we did." Ross chuckled. They turned to Koushiro who had a very nervous look on his face. "Hey, Koushiro, what's wrong?"
"We have a guest." He pointed behind them and they turned around to see sitting at a chair was Takeo Juriuchi.
"Takeo…" Ross muttered.
"I'm gonna love hearing the bullshit excuse you're going to try to weave." He said.
"Aw, jeez…" Taichi groaned.

"Followed you guys because I've been noticing you guys keep coming back here ever since the semester started and was wondering what the hell was going on. Didn't actually expect it would be related to those ghost Digimon that captured everyone back two years ago."
"I explained a bit to him after he twisted my arm." Koushiro admitted.
"Look, Takeo, meet us at our apartment later, we'll explain everything." Taichi told him.
"Actually, this might be a good thing."
"Huh?" All three boys looked at Koushiro.
"Look, us coming to the school is clearly drawing attention, so I've been thinking, what if we had some sort of better place to meet?"
"Like a base or something? I guess so, but what does this have to do with Takeo?" Ross questioned.
"Takeo-san? How good are you with computers?"
"Pretty decent, I once overclocked our home computer so we could play games." Takeo told him.
"You guys, I think Takeo can fill a roll as a sort of over watch. Keep an eye on the computer while we go, keep us informed about the Kaiser's movements while we're in the Digital World…"
"You mean like an AWACS?" Ross interrupted. "I think you might be right…"

P.O.V. – Miyako Inoue

The skies began to clear up and now it looked like it was day when the Gokimon brothers crawled out of the dust of the destroyed tower without their Evil Rings.
"Looks like they woke up." Mimi said.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Big brother, what are you doing here?"
"Well, what about you, little brother?"
"Big brother, you ate my chocolate!"
"Shut up! You ate my daifuku!"
"What!? Gimme back my chewing gum!"
"Gimme back my crackers!"
"You want some?"
"Bring it on!" The two began punching and kicking each other as they flew away.
"They used to get along so well, but look at them now…" I noticed.
"Maybe they were better off being controlled by the Digimon Kaiser…" Mimi believed.
"I don't want to think that, but… you might be right…" I admitted.

"Miyako!" We heard Daisuke's voice and saw him and the others approaching with all of the now freed Gekomon and Otamamon.
"Our Evil Rings are gone too, ribbit!" "Mimi, thank you, tama!"
"Mimi." She turned to look at Palmon.
"What?"
"I'll be the guardian of this area." She sat down and hugged her.
"Good luck, Palmon. I promise you I'll help you no matter what happens with my parents."
"We're all counting on you!" We all replied to Palmon's plan.
"W-well, I'll do my best…" She rubbed the back of her head.

"This concludes today's picnic!" Daisuke shouted as we got back home. Koushiro messaged us about Ross's friend who found out about us, but that was being taken care of. We all soon began parting our ways before I remembered something I wanted to say.
"Mimi-san!" I shouted as she walked way. "Today… meeting you… was… really fun!" She smiled before she held up her finger like me.
"Bingo!"

P.O.V. – Ross McGlathery

I was getting ready for bed after a long day of work: destroying the towers before having to explain everything to Takeo. He followed along and agreed to whatever Koushiro's plan was involving. Something about it getting him something to do out of the house. So at least that was one problem taken care. I suddenly got a message on my D-Terminal and it was from Mimi. 'Had long heart to heart with parents. Count me it!' Sounds like she finally got them on our side. Nice to hear that you found your courage to face your parents and follow your heart, Mimi.

Now I wish I could just find my courage and follow my heart in order to ask you out…

So, quite a few things to sift through there.

First, Takeo comes back into play and more or less will take over Koushiro's role in terms of keeping an eye on the Digital map while the others are in the Digital World.

Secondly, both involving Mimi, first the original episode took place during Golden Week but there's no way Mimi was going to be left out until the first week of May. As for her outfit, it's the same one she wore in the original episode, just the hair is different; being her normal color and in a large ponytail.

Well, that's been said now, see you all next time.

"Push the button, Frank."
