It took a while to calm Emiko down. Naturally, she did not take the news lightly. She tried multiple times to wake Daisuke despite Dark's insisting that it would not work. Luckily, Daisuke's father and grandfather came home shortly after she did. Dark and To-To informed them about Daisuke's condition. His father, Kosuke, had a talk with Emiko and she came back with a determined expression on her face.
"Let's get to work," she said, "we're going to save my Daisuke!"
Kosuke went to his computer. Daiki, Daisuke's grandfather, went out again to speak with some of his shady contacts.

Satoshi began to do some research of his own. It wasn't that he doubted Dark and the Niwas' ability to find Daisuke, he simply had an advantage they didn't…an advantage that could quickly turn into a disadvantage.
Krad had been silent for quite some time now and Satoshi was slightly worried. He began thinking of possible reasons Krad would be so quiet and possible plots according to those reasons. Satoshi was used to this kind of analysis, but he usually used it to capture Dark rather than help him. He knew Krad could hear most of his thoughts. For this reason, he purposely dug for information, hoping he might get a reaction from Krad. He put this plan out of his mind, hoping to keep it from the stronger entity.
He began to research things he thought could be the source of Krad's new magic.
"What are you up to, my dear Satoshi?"
The sudden voice in his head surprised him. Either Krad wanted to distract him from his research (possibly because he was getting close) or he just wanted to toy with him some more. Whatever the reason, Satoshi decided to ignore him.
Krad chuckled. "Are you really so worried about that boy? You're going a bit out of your way."
Satoshi sighed, "I'm busy, Krad," he said aloud.
Krad chuckled again before he withdrew temporarily. Satoshi felt like he might have been on to something. Krad only began to question him after he started researching his magic, which could mean the answer was actually there somewhere. Then again, he could have meant to make him think that. Either way, Satoshi had a lot of work to do.
