Yoshino and Hanabi were walking around in the park with their digimon. "I can't believe you made us take a walk." Yoshino groaned out.

"You're always worrying about the next digimon attack and you need to relax." Hanabi said and then an explosion happen a few feet away from them. Hanabi and Yoshino fell onto the ground with their digimon, when the two looked up they seen Ogremon standing in front of them.

"Hanabi, run." Yoshino said.

"I'm not leaving you here." Hanabi told her sister.

"That's real sweet but you need to run and tell Koushiro. I'll distract him." Yoshino told Hanabi while helping her up. Hanabi looked at her big sister and nodded. Yoshino grabbed a rock, Hanabi ran but Ogremon stood in front of her. Yoshino threw the rock at Ogremon and he turned his head towards her. "Stupid." She stuck her tongue out and began running. Hanabi took her chance then ran out of the park.

"Split up now." Yoshino said.

"Hai!" her digimon said and began to run away from each other. Ogremon followed her knocking down all of the trees in his pathway. Yoshino ran into an open space there was nowhere she could hide. She seen Spadamon, Lunamon and Coronamon running towards her and they stood behind Ogremon. He was going to strike the three.

"Don't do it Ogremon! You changed for the better, whatever has a hold of you snap out of it, you're stronger then this fight it." Yoshino told him walking closer to him. "I know you can do this."

"Y-Y-Yoshino?!" Ogremon said.

"Yeah, I'm here." she said.

"What's going on?" he asked her.

"To be completely honest I'm not too sure myself but can you tell me anything that's happening in the Digital World. Please we can use the help that we can get." Yoshino asked him.

"Stay in the real world don't go back to the Digital World, your safer here then you are there." Ogremon told her.

"What do you mean?" Yoshino asked then she seen Mimi holding Palmon and she heard her mumble something. "I'm sorry. I promise it won't hurt.'

"Mimi! DON'T!" Yoshino yelled out. Togemon began to fight with Ogremon. Togemon knocked down Ogremon and jumped in the air doing a needle spray. "Ogremon!"

"Yoshino!" Spadamon, Coronamon and Lunamon pulled Yoshino away form the attack. But Yoshino covered her digimon with her body. But for some reason it didn't hit her and she looked back seeing Ogremon protecting her even though he was infected.

Taichi and Yamato both made it to the park seeing people in a crowd facing the park trying to see what happen. Everyone was there watching as much as they could and Hikari seen her brother and his best friend.

"You two came together?" Sora asked and the two looked away from each other.

"Can't make it from here." Yamato said looking at the crowd trying to see the fight behind police tape and there were police all around the area.

"No. It's completely secured." Takeru said.

"Where's Yoshino?" Taichi asked them making Koushiro and Hanabi look at the ground. "Koushiro? Where's Yoshino?"

"Hanabi?" Koushiro said pushing her forward making Hanabi stomp on his foot. Koushiro grabbed his foot because of the pain.

"Hanabi, where's Yoshino?" Taichi asked her.

"Who?" Hanabi answered with a questioned.

"Your sister." Taichi said.

"I have a sister?" Hanabi said scratching the back of her head with a puzzled look on her face.

"Hanabi!"

"Taichi!"

Ogremon threw Togemon on the ground and he jumped in the air about to hit Togemon with his club. Before Ogremon could hit Togemon and something blocked it. Mimi and Meiko both looked up seeing Yoshino standing in front of Togemon and a glowing sword with data code around it. She looked up at Ogremon not moving a muscle. Togemon got up and back up a little bit, "Stand down." Yoshino's eyes began to glow white. "I said stand down, NOW!"

Ogremon placed his club down and her sword disappeared. She went to make sure Togemon was okay but as soon as she turned her back Ogremon tried to strike her and Meicoomon jumped on Ogremon scratching his face up. Ogremon grabbed Meicoomon throwing her on the ground. But she got back up and lunge towards Ogremon and he retaliate hitting her with his club sending her flying.

"Mei-chan!" Meiko yelled running towards her digimon but it was too late for her. Ogremon was right above her and was about to swing when a portal appeared, Leomon grabbed Ogremon and pulled him into the portal

Everyone was standing or sitting under a gazebo. Well the girls were sitting down while the guys were standing around them.

"I'm sorry." Meiko said.

"It wasn't you guys. The helicopter got too close." Takeru said.

Mimi stood up from her spot and faced the others. "It's not Meimei's fault. I said to do it."

"Didn't I tell you to hold tight?" Koushiro said grinding his teeth together.

"I'm sick of Palmon and the others being criticized. Aren't you too?" Mimi said looking at Taichi.

"Yes, but..." Taichi said and Yoshino elbowed him signaling for him to shut up.

"So you acted out of good intentions. Now look at the result. It's a very serious and delicate problem. Mimi-san, you have... a very egocentric side" Koushiro said.

Sora stood up going towards Mimi but first she told Koushiro, " That was uncalled for." Sora put her hand on Mimi's shoulder.

"I'm going home." Mimi said walking away from the group.

"Mimi-chan!" Sora called out for her.

"Mimi-san! No, wait!" Meiko said.

"Leave her alone for a while." Sora said.

"What happened to Joe?" Yamato said changing the subject.

"I texted him." Koushiro said.

"I couldn't get him on the phone." Sora said.

"All this is going on, and studying is still more important." Yamato stated.

"Lay off." Taichi said to Yamato which caused Yamato to turn towards Taichi.

"No question, Joe might be logical and overly cautious about everything, but he used to know what's important and what we should do. And yet..."

"I said, lay off." Taichi interrupted Yamato. "I'm sure Joe knew he should have come. Even so he must have been unable to."

"I know that." Yamato said.

"I tired of all this constant bickering, I'm going home." Yoshino said walking away from the group but Koushiro grabbed her arm turning her around.

"You're irresponsible, we could have lost you back there." Koushiro said.

"Hey it was either do something and save my sister or let her be crushed to death." Yoshino said.

"I don't want to lose you again, Yoshi." Koushiro said.

"You won't." Yoshino said and gave him a hug. "I'll see you around."

Yoshino was siting with Koushiro by the computer trying to decode some of the data to find out what was causing the infected digimon to come into there world. She had a green apple lollipop in her mouth and she didn't pay mind to anyone around her, all she knew that Taichi brought someone in with him.

"Yoshino." Koushiro said but she didn't look up. Yamato walked up to Yoshino and closed her laptop taking it away from her. "Give me it."

"Leomon is back." Yamato told her and she looked up seeing Leomon standing in the doorway with Taichi.

"You're back!" Yoshino said going towards the door pushing Taichi out of the way hugging the digimon in front of her.

"He said he has something to tell us." Taichi said and Yoshino let go of the digimon then sat on Taichi's lap looking at the digimon in front of all of them.

"There are mutations occurring in the Digital World. I came to tell you about them. We first realized when.." Leomon looked at Yoshino, but she didn't look at him, she started to mess with her skirt. "Ogremon started acting strange. The cause is unknown. But apparently there are Digimons acting the same strange way."

Koushiro was the first one to speak out the digidestine that was there already, "Yes. We call them 'Infected Digimons'. Is one of those mutations in the distortions in space, that's connecting the Digital World and our world?"

"Indeed. It is how I came here. I had my eye on Ogremon to keep him in check but I was too late." Leomon said.

"You don't seem infected. Why?" Taichi asked.

"I don't know. I remember, though, that when Ogremon was infected, it was like something within him became deranged." Leomon admitted.

"May I ask you something? Which came first in the Digital World, the distortions or.. the infected Digimon?" Koushiro said going towards his computer making Yoshino stand up walking over towards Koushiro.

"First came the infection." Leomon said.

"We thought the distortions caused it all." Koushiro said looking at his screen and Yoshino was sitting on the floor working on her laptop.

"But could the opposite perhaps be true?" Yoshino said staring at her screen.

"There could be something else causing the infection. For example, data or some program. Or some kind of creature. If the distortions too were a phenomenon born from infection, it would add up." Koushiro and Yoshino both said in unison.

"What a scary conversation." Agumon said.

"What if we get infected too?" Gabumon asked.

"Should we put on bug repellent?" Biyomon suggested.

"Will it really work?" Meicoomon asked.

"What about sun block?" Biyomon said.

"Maybe we should put on surgical masks." Agumon suggested to everyone.

All of a sudden all the digimon were wearing surgical masks and holding bug repellent. Meicoomon raised her paw in the air and said, "Roger, senpai."

"Don't worry. You're safe here as long as you're in the server in this room." Koushiro assured them that they would be safe as he still continued. "It's kept as a stand alone ordinarily. But when connecting to the outside, it has a robust anti-intruder system of my own design with three fold security. And you need my personal authentication."

"If the infection has an origin.." Taichi started to say then started thinking about it.

"Ring any bells?" Sora asked him. Leomon ran towards the other side of the room opening the curtain looking out trying to see if anyone was there.

"Are you okay?" Yoshino turned around seeing Koushiro standing outside on the balcony.

"Shouldn't you be asking Mimi that. You were a little harsh on her." Yoshino said staring out at the night sky.

"She didn't listen to what I said." Koushiro said.

"If she didn't interfere, the damage could have been much worse then it is." she said and Koushiro went towards the railing standing next to her.

"I don't want her to get hurt." Koushiro said and Yoshino grabbed his hand making Koushiro look at her and she smiled at him.

"I know. But you didn't have to show her like that." Yoshino said and hugged him.

Taichi and Yamato walked out to the balcony seeing the two hugging each other. "Are we interrupting something?"

"Nope. Koushiro can I stay the night over your parents don't mind right?"

"No they don't mind Yoshi. They missed your company."

"I'll text you okay." Yoshino told Taichi giving him a peck on the cheek walking out.
