OWN NOTHING, THAT I DO.AN: aaaaaaaaaaaaaand....I go off on a completely different direction than I planned. And I'm still going off on a tangent now that I finish writing chap 5.

IN ESSENCE: I have absolutely no clue where this will end up. O_O

START CHAPTER THREE_ _ _|

After a detour to a small town hidden in a desert, the chosen discover one of the Emperor's failed experiments. Kari's evolution to Nefertimon entraps and frees the Skeletal Bug from the Dark Rings, only for Kimeramon to show up a few minutes later! In a do or die attempt, Tk evolves into Pegasusmon! A combined attack from our Digital Humans saves the day, and destroys Kimeramon once and for all! But does the emperor have something else planned?

Off on a Tangent...

HUMAN WORLD_ _ _| THAT NIGHT_ _ _|

Izzy growls. "I can't get the digivices to re-connect."

"Keep trying." Matt orders.

"If they've set them to silent, There's nothing I can do to re-contact them." Izzy sighs.

Tai places his hand on Izzy's shoulder. "It's okay, Izzy. If anyone can get through a simple digivice privacy barrier, you can!"

"Gee, thank's, Tai." Izzy smiles.

"Now then...Let's get crackin'!" Tai claps his hands together.

DIGITAL WORLD_ _ _| FORREST OF IRRELEVENT ROAD SIGNS_ _ _|

"...So that's why you should never, evertouch these red spotted, blue striped, green Boukenger berries!" tsukaimon scolds Davis. "Understand me?"

"yes miss." Davis sighs. "Never touch the green striped, blue spotted red Abaranger nuts."

Tsukaimon growls and goes to hit the dragon on the head, if it weren't for the fact that Tk wraps his wings around her, preventing such a dangerous action from happening. "Now, you know Davis doesn't mean it!"

"I know he doesn't mean it." The purple version says to the gold version. "But I'm annoyed at the fact that he doesn't get it!"

Kari rolls her eyes and jumps from branch to branch of the trees, snatching a fresh fruit whenever possible. 'I never knew how easy gatomon had it! This is not only a whole lot easier to walking, but it's waaaaaaaaaay more fun!'

Cody, still in his Upamon form, considers the dangers of being a digimon. 'they all seem to be more like digimon than than human now...Does digivolving do this? Is it natural? Tk even seems to like our latest teammate more than a friend. And she's a digimon!' he frowns. 'The digimon seem more human than digimon now too.'Angemon and Nefertimon laugh as Shurimon falls out of his tree. 'Will we all be back to normal when we get turned back? Will we ever get back to normal? What about school? If we're gone for too long, people will suspect something...'his ponderings are interrupted as Digmon picks him up.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"Ah..." Cody blinks. "What do you mean?"

"You always get this really serious look on your face whenever you're thinking about something." Digmon shrugs. "It shows. Even as a digimon."

Cody sighs. "I'm just wondering if we'll ever get back to normal."

"Ah. I see." Digmon nods. "I figure it this way, our chances of turning back to normal were much higher when in the digital world and when Kimeramon was alive. I thought, Kill Kimeramon, kill the source of our changing."

"What?!" Cody exclaims. "Why didn't you say anything?!"

"Kimeramon attacked before I could tell everyone my theory." Digmon grumbles.

"Oh...What about now?" Cody asks. "Do I even want to know?"

"The actual numbers?" Digmon laughs. "No. But, as long as we don't enter the real world, our changes should be easier to reverse."

Cody nods. "Plan on telling them this?"

"When the time's right." Digmon glances around at the digimon and the humans enjoying themselves. "it's too happy a time right now to bring it up."

"Bring what up?" Flamedramon asks as he walks by.

"Just ah..." Digmon starts.

"if he should tell Tsukaimon that he ate one of those berries!" Cody covers.

"oh..." Flamedramon winks. "riiiiiight. Yeah, I'll let you guys figure out to tell her that..." he walks off.

Digmon sighs in relief. "Man, Cody. When did you learn to be that quick on the draw when it came to covering like that?"

Cody blinks. "I...I don't know."

It was about half an hour later and the small group of humans and digimon were sitting around a recently made fire (Courtesy of Davis) with their food cooking on it.

Nefertimon glances around as the stars start to fall. "So..." she starts, cutting into the deep conversation, immediately silencing it. "Who's going to take first watch."

Davis and Flamedramon immediately jump up. "WE WILL!"

"Someone who's not going to fall asleep?" she adds.

The two fire chosen sit down with a sigh.

Digmon raises his hand. "Me and Cody can do it."

Cody glares at his digimon partner turned human.

"Sound's good." Tk nods. "Me and Angemon can take second watch."

"We'll do third!" Kari does a flip in the air.

"Fourth." Shurimon states.

"Does that mean we get last?" Flamedramon sighs.

"Yep." Davis nods.

Flamedramon sighs.

Tsukaimon shakes her head. "Are they always like this?" She asks in a whisper to Tk.

He nods, and she laughs.

Kari grimaces, but otherwise ignores the exchange.

Nefertimon sighs, thinking. If she just got over that small bit of fear, she wouldn't be going through this right now.

Soon, dinner was cooked and eaten, and everyone except Digmon and Cody went off to sleep. They had decided on two hour shifts, starting at eight so that they could get up at Six and find a Digi-Port and resume contact with the human world before the Digimon Emperor woke up and ruined their day.

So, it was about half an hour into the first shift, when Cody and Digmon had finished counting the stars in the sky and decided on continuing their earliar talk.

"I just don't get it." Cody continues. "Why did we get turned into digimon, and you into humans?"

Digmon raises an eyebrow. "I don't know exactly." he takes out the D-3 and stares at it's screen. "Just that whatever Kimeramon did, it was at some moment when the digivices were trying to re-format something, causing it to go crazy. Some protocol got flipped about or something, and the Digital world compensated."

"The energy wave." Cody surmises.

"Exactly. Now if we could re-invert the broken file, or fix whatever's wrong, the Digital world should re-compensate and return us to normal." Digmon sighs. "But I don't know how to do that!"

Cody looks up to his partner. "I just hope whatever happened to us isn't permanent. What happens when school starts?"

Digmon grimaces. "It could be a problem for some of us." he glances towards Flamedramon and Davis. "We would have to tell your parents about what happened. Except for them. They could blend in easily."

"Same for Tk and Angemon." Cody adds.

"Nefertimon could just say that Kari Dyed her hair blond and started wearing colored contacts." Digmon shrugs. "And no-one would be the wiser."

Cody nods. "But otherwise, as far as anyone else would know, Yolei and Shurimon could be on an exchange program. Same with us."

Digmon nods. "Then we have our cover stories. But, we would still have to explain everything to your mom and Yolei's Family in order for it to work."

Cody closes his eyes. "I hope we don't have to."

The air is silent for another fifteen minutes or so, until....

"KRAH!!!KRAH!!!" spits through the air, immediately jolting the two watch guards to attention.

Digmon looks up and glares at the diving digimon, a pterodactyl like machine digimon with an armament of missiles and a Dark Ring around it's neck. "Cody..."

"I know." the In-training level nods.

D-I-G-I-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N_ _ _|

Cody glows and starts to evolve. "UPAMON DIGIVOLVE INTO! ARMADILLOMON!"

He jumps into the air, and rolls into a sphere. "DIAMOND SHELL!"Cody spins rapidly, and rams into the armored pterodactyl, sending it into the ground un-controlled.

With a grace no-one had seen before, Cody lands on the ground on all four feet out of sphere form.

The Pteramon gets to it's feet.

Cody narrows his eyes.

Pteramon then jumps into the air, flying away, the dark ring laying shattered on the ground.

Cody looks over to Digmon. "You're stronger than you look."

Digmon shurgs. "So I am."

The rest of the first shift went rather smoothly, except for Tk and Angemon being surprised that Cody was in his rookie form now when they came to take over.

Tk and Angemon's shift also went un-interrupted, same for Kari and Nefertimon's, Yolie and Shurimon's and Davis and Flamedramon's shifts.

Now it was morning, and the chosen were eating breakfast, or what could be considered breakfast in the digital world.

"Ick..." Nefertimon grimaces at the brown mush that was supposed to be oatmeal. "I wouldn't eat this even if I was an in-training!"

Flamedramon however had no such problem downing the mushy, mush.

Davis pales. "How can he eat this stuff?"

Tk frowns. "Who brought it anyways?"

"Tai-" Kari shrugs. "-made me bring it. Said it was pretty good."

Yolie tosses her oatmeal into the fire, making it flare up. She gulps. "Remind me to kill Tai when we get back, okay?"

Shurimon shakes his head.

MEANWHILE_ _ _| SOUTHERN QUADRANT_ _ _|

Kimeramon opens his eyes, and glances around. His data was suspended in the air by four beams of light, barely held together by his sheer force of will.

There was a small silver cart coming up the track, being followed by a weird red substance. Kimeramon growls. He could sense it was bad. But he could also sense Digivice signals.

The humans who had sent him here were comming to finish the job.

Tearing out of his bonds, Kimeramon races towards the cart, now free falling back down to the red substance without the light tracks, with a roar.

Kimeramon was going to kill them if it was the last thing he did.

BACK AT OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED DIGITAL WORLD_ _ _|

Izzy's face appears on the portal's screen. "hey, guys!"

"Hey Izzy!" Tk waves while everyone else gives various states of greeting.

"So, what's new?" Izzy jokes.

"Well." Flamedramon starts. "We got turned into humans, and they got turned into digimon."

"We also got ourselves a guide." Nefertimon adds with a smile, while Kari frowns.

"A guide huh? So, what about this Kimeramon you guys were talking about?" Izzy asks.

"Toast." Angemon reports. "Kari as Nefertimon entombed him with Davis', Yolie's, and Tk's attacks."

"Digitized!" Davis backflips.

Cody steps forward. "Do you think it'd be a wise idea to come through the gate as we are?"

"It should be."izzy replies.

"I have my doubts." Digmon starts. "With Kimeramon gone, it'd be an even more dangerous risk."

"You still have to bring Ken back."comes Tai's voice as he steps into view of the camera. "Hey, guys!"

"Onii-san!" Kari runs over to the screen and looks her brother in the eye. "Hi..."

"Woah...Kari?" Tai blinks and laughs. "Wow, mom will never believe this."

"If we can find a way to reverse this, we won't have to." shurimon breaks into the conversation. "Though, we do have a contingency plan just in case it isn't."

"Contingencey plan?"Matt asks from off screen.

"Yeah, it like a plan B. Right Izzy?"Tai asks.

"Close enough." is the genius' reply. "anyway, guys, I have a plan. I'll change the gate program so it inverts the ones and zeros inside you as you come through the gate, it should reverse the effects."

"That should fix it?" Flamedramon asks.

"That, or send you to an alternate universe."Izzy replies seriously.

"Send them to an alternate universe!!?"Tai asks, outraged.

"They'd just have to go back through again! And try again!"

"And what if that doesn't work?"Izzy is yanked off screen by Matt. Tai takes his seat and grins.

"So, what's it like to be a digimon?" he asks.

"Not so bad." Davis replies as he gazes around the Forest absentmindedly. "There are a few perks..."

"like a body that's immune to your expired oatmeal." tsukaimon buts in and bows. "I'm Tsukaimon, nice to meet you."

"You're their guide?"Tai asks, amazed.

"They saved my village." Tsukaimon glances to Tk and smiles.

"Ah..."Tai nods. "So...You guy's digivolved?"

Yolie nods. "Yup. What a rush!"

"I can imagine...Oh..." the screen flickers. "...Uh...HEY! Izzy! The screen's flash---!" it cuts off.

Angemon frowns. "That's got to be a bad sign."

SOUTHERN QUADRANT_ _ _|

It was a bad sign from the get-go when Rika and Renamon nearly missed the Ark.

And it was now fully realized for what it was with The Ark being attacked by Kimeramon.

His Ghostly claws were penetrating the hull, but other than leaving long, glowing, green marks on the hull, nothing else was wrong.

But the same couldn't be said about it's inhabitant's. Kimeramon's frustrated and confused roars were screwing with everyones data. However, it's effect was most pronounced on Jeri.

Her body was flashing like an old, broken tv set. And small red globs recognized as the D-reaper's data bubbles were flowing off of her at an imposable rate.

The Tamers made an immediate guess.

"Jeri's been replaced by a D-reaper clone!" Henry gasps as he holds his sister, Suzi, and her partner, Lopmon, away from the clone.

"And she's eating through the hull!" Ryo points out. "We're going to be Kimeramon's lunch if that thing breaks through!" he hates Kimeramon. With apt reason.

"How? when?" Takato asks.

"How did we not notice?!" Renamon asks. "She was silent the whole trip here, not even crying."

"Renamon's right! Her digivice is off too!" Terriermon points out the said D-ark, it had a blood red circle instead of bright yellow. "How did we miss that?!"

"That's the million dollar question!" Rika growls.

"Right after 'Why is a Ghost from the TV show attacking us?!'" Kazu shouts.

"Ark!" Guilmon begs. "Please!!! Get us out of here!!"

The ark isn't responsive though, it's systems are already beyond repair with Kimeramon's attacks combined with D-jeri's dissolving.

The Ark jerks as Kimeramon lands a solid blow on the bottom of the ark with his Heat Viper attack, sending it rocketing up, and making the spot where D-Jeri was sitting to explode away, sending the agent tumbling down into Kimeramon's body.

A violent flash of light occurs as the Ark's slowly disloving body rockets towards earth.

"That can't be good." Kenta gulps.

"Thank you captain obvious!" Monodramon gulps as a green shock wave hits the ark, adding way much more speed than necessary, sending Impmon out the front dash, and everyone else to the floor.

Not much else can be done as the barrier is breached.

HUMAN WORLD_ _ _| SHINJUKU PARK_ _ _|

Yamaki grimaces as the digital field emerges, only an Electric Green jell-o like substance instead of the bog standard white fog. This can't be good.

Indeed, it wasn't, as a familiar purple imp is thrown at high speeds from the fog with a "splooosh" into the distance as the field starts to spark.

"This isn't good." Riley frowns as her computer overloads. "I'm reading a massive overload of energy through a feed back similar to the Juggernaut core!"

"Meaning?" yamaki asks as the field starts to slowly expand.

"Meaning..." Riley is cut off as the field rushes out in an explosion, covering almost every square inch of the planet before being replaced by a normal Digital field a second later.

No-one can explain what has happened, becase no-one smart enough is conscious to figure it out.

BACK ONE DIMENSION_ _ _| THE EMPEROR'S BASE_ _ _|

Ichijouji, Ken, AKA the Digimon Emperor, was busy powering up his latest invention. A trans-dimensional rift generator. The DigiDestined's mysterious Energy wave had given him an idea.

"They're not from this world, or from mine, and there is no realistic way they could have switched places with their partners. The Digivice signals and their different evolution lines are a clear example of this..." The super smart boy reasons. "So, it stands to reason, that they're from another Digital world, similar, yet different, to this one." He smirks. "The question is: Why should I be limited to one digital world, when I could rule dozens?!" The Emperor presses the green button before him, and the round chamber to his right flashes with energy.

Ken laughs like a mad man as a thick fog materializes within it.

A flash of light, a crack, and the door explodes away, letting the fog enter the room.

The Digimon Emperor coughs. "What is this stuff?"

*click, click, click*

A humans form walks out of the chamber, it's form obscured by the fog, also coughing.

"It...it worked!" Ken laughs. "I successfully brought someone from another Digital World into my own!"

"Wait, you brought me here!?" The person asks in a female voice as she turns to face the emperor. "I thought that device of mine would have...!

The emperor takes in the girl's form, brown hair-let loose-, a skin tight, black leather jumpsuit-similar to his own, yet different-, sungoggles-like his own-covver her eyes, she also carries a handle at her waist, looking like it would emit a laser of some sort. "Who...?"

"-And another thing... You may call me, the D-Queen." She smirks. "And you are...?"

"The Digimon Emperor." is his reply.

"Well, Kaiser boy, your world and mine seem to have crossed pattern buffers somewhere." the girl removes her glasses, revealing her brownish-red eyes. "And I'm grateful for that. The Chosen of my world were moments away for killing me, had your device not teleported me the last second."

Ken tenses, and removes his own glasses. "You're...One of the DigiDestined from my world!"

"So are you!" the girl-who, now that the fog has dispersed, is revealed to be none-other than Kari!- also tenses up.

They stare at each other for a moment and then laugh.

"I planned on rulling the universe by myself with this device." The Emperor smirks. "But one man alone can't hold an empire aloft."

"Well then," the Queen laughs. "What do you say we work together to take over the known worlds?"

"Sounds...delightful." He smiles.

"Puuuuuurfect." she smiles back.

WITH THE Gijinka_ _ _|

Angemon frowns as the sky suddenly grows dark and stormy. "Something's wrong."

"No duh." Nefertimon frowns as the wind rushes by.

Yolie wraps one of her wings/hands around Davis' arm so she won't be blown away by the wind. "What's causing it?"

"Three guesses." Flamedramon frowns as he points up towards the floating base of the Digimon Emperor. "And the first two don't count."

ARMOR DIGIVOLUTION_ _ _|

"DIGIARMOR ENERGIZE!!!"

"HAWKMON ARMOR DIGIVOLVE INTO...! The Wings of Love! Holsemon!"

"PATAMON ARMOR DIGIVOLVE TO: The Hope that Gallops accross the Heavens! Pegasusmon!"

"GATOMON! ARMOR DIGIVOLVE! The Light of Smiles! Nefertimon!"

"All aboard!" Tk jokes as Angemon climbs on and pulls Cody up. Tsukaimon lands easily on his head.

Shurimon says nothing as he helps Flamedramon and Davis onto Yolie.

Kari rolls her eyes as Nefertimon easily jumps onto her previous form, only pausing to help Digmon up.

"Let's Go!" Davis cheers as the three flying digimon that were humans take off towards the base.

The Base's Defences were lowered for some reason, a stupid one, Kari thought, during a storm like this.

"What's he up to?" Yolei asks.

"I don't know." Tk answers.

"But it can't be good." Cody finishes.

"But, this is our one shot at taking him down, once and for all." Digmon reasons.

Flamedramon smashes his fists together. "Let's do this then!"

A moment later, a bright white light emerged from somewhere around the base, just in front of them.

Everything goes black.

INSIDE THE CONTROLL ROOM_ _ _|

The D-Queen, as she called herself, watches in interest as five digivice signals approach the base's temporal displacement field's edge. She presses an intercom button. "Are we ready?"

"Ready as ever."comes the Digimon Emperor's voice from the power room. "Commencing ship wide Dimensional Gate in Three..."

"Two..." She continues. If this was timed just right, they would send those five digivices across the known universe, and they would start ruleing a new one.

"One..." he finishes.

*SKREEEEEReeeeReeeReeeReeeereeee......*

Kari from an alternate universe smiles as the five signals penetrate the shield and vanish in a flash of light. "YES!" She cheers, briefly wondering how Ken came up with this device in the first place. The world around them however, didn't change, and dismissed this wandering thought.

"Hold on...I had a lever turned the wrong way..." Ken pauses. "There, I got---!"

The world went white.

SHINJUKU PARK_ _ _| THE ARK_ _ _|

Renamon opens her blue eyes as a bundle of pain shoots through her body from her legs and somewhere on her left side. She doesn't move, or rather, she can't. A large sheet of Chrome-Digizoid, the compound making up the Ark, pins her to the ground.

Sparks shoot from the wall, and metallic groans emanate from all around her. The last thing she remembered... Kimeramon!

Renamon grimaces as she feels a small pin prick of pain on her right arm. Only, it was different. It was a human's arm. A human females to be precise. With a small, bleeding gash running from her elbow to a few centimeters before her wrist decorating it. She flexes a finger, and it moves. Not a hallucination caused by the crash then...

"Renaaaaamon!" Comes a familiar voice from near by. She looks up to see a small-er version of Takato with red hair walking towards her, his body was covered in scratches, none of them bleeding though. He was easily recognizable as Guilmon by his voice, his damage resistant skin, and the way he walked, as if he had a tail still, which he doesn't.

"Over here." She manages out. The small boy that used to be a red dragon digimon glances around untill he spots her, he blinks and tilts his head. "Renamon? You look funny..."

"So do you..." Renamon says. "Can you get me out?" She asks.

Guilmon nods, then turns and runs somewhere obscured by metal. A few seconds later, though seeming an eternity due to the pain, Guilmon returns, pulling someone who looks like Kazu in a robotic suit by the arm. Ah! It was Kazu!

"Dude! You too?!" he blinks, and looks her over. What? What was wrong? "Ah...okay...then..." Kazu bends down and pushes the metal sheet up, off of her, then tosses it through the roof...Wait...The roof? Renamon glances up and spots where the metal had come from in the first place, the roof had collapsed in where she had been standing. She barely noticed that she had long, blond hair somewhat covering her eyes. "Oh...That's just..." Kazu mutters before collapsing. She frowns and looks down over herself, besides the obvious lack of fur, and the clothes that humans always wore, she didn't...

Oh...

There was a metal pipe sticking out through her lower left leg, and her lower right was bent unnaturally. Broken. Blood was flowing freely from her left leg, onto the ground, making it seem as if her right leg was bleeding also.

Guilmon makes a near choking sound. "R-renam-mon...." he collapses too.

She sighs. Why was it things never went right with them?

It was a few minutes later when a girl with light pinkish hair (near white), and blue eyes came up to her, speaking in a language she didn't recognise. There was a heart tatooed onto her right shoulder. Who...? A gomamon with blue hair hops up a moment later. "Marine Angemon! Wait up!" OH! Kenta! He'd just gotten his digivice after finding the tiny mega inside his pocket a moment before Kimeramon attacked.

The girl says something and waves fanticly at Renamon's legs. Kenta the Gomamon nods. "Okay okay! I get it!" he turns to Renamon. "She wants to know if you can feel your feet!"

Renamon nods, thinking. Where's Rika? Wasn't she right next to me when we crashed?

"Ah! What happened to Kazu and...uh...Guilmon?" Kenta asks, snapping her out of her thinking a moment before another sharp burst of pain shoots from her left leg.

Renamon winces and looks down to see that her leg had been pulled from the pipe. Marine Angemon smiles and starts to wrap her leg up with some cloth that had been found somewhere.

Renamon looks back to Kenta and replies briskly. "They fainted at all the blood."

Kenta glances to the ground where her legs were and gulps. "Yeah...That's a lot of blood..."

"Kenta." Renamon snaps him out of his trance. "What happened? Where's Rika? Takato? Henry?"

"Rika and Takato?" Kenta hops off for a moment, then returns. "Henry can't find them!"

"What about Calumon?" Renamon continues.

Marine Angemon starts to talk. Kenta then translates. "Didn't you see? He went out after the purple pig...Er...Impmon!"

Renamon frowns. If Calumon was lost again, and half of the Tamer's group was injured or missing. What were they going to do?

Marine Angemon says something before she Twists Renamon's right leg into it's rightful position. Her world fades away in pain.

SOMEWHERE IN A BUILDING ABOVE THE DIGITAL FIELD_ _ _|

Impmon opens his eyes to a pounding headache, and one of his two 'tamers', a brown haired girl with brown eyes named Ai. "Oi...did ya git da number on dat truck?" he asks.

The girl's worried expression lightens as she smiles. "You're okay!"

"'Course I'm okay..." Impmon sits up, but falls back again. "As okay as anyone could be being tossed from da Digital world through the barrier and into da real one to...where-evers...I..am...?"

"My Aunt's appartment." Ai answers. "She's got this whole floor to herself!"

"Dat so, huh?" Impmon laughs. "Ugh..." he stops. "remind me not to do dat, 'kay?"

She nods.

"So..what happened since I...ah... left...?" he asks.

"We got a dog!" Ai smiles, then frowns. "Mako and mom went to take him on a walk last night, then you flew through a window. Their was this big green jelo thing that turned into a frog, and they haven't come back yet..."

"Wait, Green Jello thing into a frog?" She must've meant fog. "How long have I been out?" Impmon sits up.

"About a day." Ai frowns.

"And they aren't back yet?" Impmon asks. "What 'bout your aunt?"

"She was working..." Ai nears tears. "Now all these monsters keep flying around outside and-and-and..."

Impmon hugs her. "Shhh...It's okay. I'll fight 'em off!" He frowns. Monsters? Digimon? What's with this digital field business? "Let me see this 'fog', okay?"

Ai frowns. "You're not going to leave...are you?"

"No. No I'm not." he replies. "I jus' want a good look at it! Ta see what I'm dealin' with 'ere!"

"Okay." She sniffs, and then leads him to a window in the kitchen. "It's down...way down..."

Impmon climbs up onto the sill, pushes it open, and gazes down. The building extended down two or so floors before it vanished into a Digital Field. A Big Digital field. Looking towards the horizon, all there was to see was fog, and the tippy top of a few buildings. Impmon looks up, to see how high the building was; Nothing but clear blue skys. They were on the top floor. He climbs back inside and closes the window. "Ai, how big is dis buildin'?"

Ai blinks. "Fifty Stories."

"Fifty?" he repeats silently. "A fourty-nine storie high digital field? Extending in all dirrections?" he frowns.

"and we're on a mountain." She adds.

"A...Mountain!?" Impmon asks. If they were fifty stories up from the base of the top of some stupid mountain extending way up into the sky, then...!

"Mom says Tv would help with the weather, but it's not..." Ai points towards the said televison set on the counter top nearby. It showed a Tv studio, wrecked with what looked like digimon attacks. Impmon's mouth starts to hang open.

Ai finds a remote and silently changes channels.

It was a weather station, only the weather casters were Digimon, Elecmon, and they were talking about anything but the weather.

*click*

Washington D.C., inside the white house, or rather, what was left of it. A skullGreymon was stomping the building to pieces.

*click*

It was a talk show, Gatomon all around fighting in a gigantic fur ball.

*click*

A ski resort. Frozen solid by ice digimon of all types.

Impmon's mouth goes dry as each channel gets progressively worse than the last. Every news station, every Talk show, every live action soap opera, everything filmed live around the world was... Digitized.

"Ai..." he gulps. "I've seen enough..."

She presses the power button, and the Tv turns off. "What is it?"

"Nothin' good...

...Nothin' Good at all, Ai..."
