I am here to write yet again Thanks for the reviews! Keep them up please my last two chapters were quite short so I'm going to gradually try and make them longer! Anywho back to the story, happy reading!

Disclaimer: Digimon is not mine :P

"Cody! Yolei!" screamed Tk down to his friends.

The bickering teens looked over to the others confused. However their confusion was short lived as they recognised their friends and ran over to them.

Yolei pulled Kari into a huge hug. "Kari I was so scared, I opened the curtains of the apartment and just saw digimon everywhere! So I tried to get in contact Hawkmon and I couldn't reach him."

"I tried to find Armadilomon too," added Cody "but I couldn't."

Tk explained everything to his friends about what Gennai had said, the virus and what had happened to Mimi.

"Oh my God," exclaimed Yolei falling down to a sitting position on the ground I cannot believe it."

Cody looked at Mimi and wiped away tears. "How are we going to tell Izzy?"

Tk sighed. "We'll find the strength from somewhere."

"I think we should take her body with us Tk," said Matt.

Tk looked over to his brother.

"She'll get trampled or lost here in the city, she deserves a proper burial," finished Matt.

"You're right," said Kari. "It's the least we can do".

At that moment a officer ran towards the teens. "Ishida!" he barked, "didn't you hear me calling you?"

"No sir," said Matt apologetically.

The officer grimaced. "We've cleared this area of the city for now we need to move into the centre."

"But sir my brother I can't-" began Matt.

"Are you refusing to obey orders Ishida?" barked the officer again.

Matt sighed "no sir," he admitted.

"Then hop to it Ishida!" commanded the officer. He then ran back to the tanks and armoured cars and didn't wait for Matt to follow.

Matt cursed the officer under his breath. "Look Teeks I can't come with you now."

Tk nodded in understanding and he pulled his brother into a hug. "I'll contact you as soon as we're out of the city okay?" he said.

"Yeah, I will follow you out as soon as I can." Said Matt.

"ISHIDA! I MEAN NOW!" roared the officer.

Matt cursed the officer again. "Here Teeks you're going to need this."

Matt handed Tk over the handgun he kept on his belt as well as a small tin of bullets.

"Matt I can't- Tk started but Matt cut over him.

"You're going to have to. You must protect the others. I'll see you soon."

Matt hugged his little brother again quickly before running off to join the officer. He turned back and said simply "good luck," before disappearing into one of the tanks.

Tk stared down at the weapon in his hands. It felt cool and dangerous in his hands. He prayed to God he'd never have to use it. He tucked the gun away and put the bullets into his pocket before looking up to the others.

Tk walked calmly over to Mimi and hoisted her up onto his shoulders. "Come on," he said let's go."

The five teens walked in silence. They had been travelling for about 45 minutes and thankfully enough due to the presence of the army and the police Tk hadn't been forced to pull out the handgun. Yet.

The digidestineds had decided to go to Joe first, as the hospital was the closet and besides they needed to pick up some medical supplies in case of an emergency. Also according to Yolei, Ken would be there too as he was doing work experience with Joe this week.

Tk kept his head down. He wouldn't admit it but carrying Mimi was starting to wear him out. It was still raining too and since Tk had left his hoodie in the school the cold and dampness was starting to get to him. However, being the nice guy he was he didn't complain.

"Tk?" asked Cody.

Tk looked down at his DNA digivolving partner and put on a smile. "Yeah?"

"Since when have Kari and Davis… ya know?" asked the younger digidestined gesturing towards the pair walking a bit ahead of them who were holding hands.

"I was just going to ask that," said Yolei, joining in the conversation. "I had an hour long chat with Kari on the phone last night and she didn't let on at all."

Tk sighed. "It shocked me too," he admitted. "I was planning on meeting up with Kari in the digital world and when I got to the computer lab there she was with… Davis."

Tk put his head down again. Yolei and Cody exchanged a glance they knew how Tk had felt about Kari. It was breaking the poor boy's heart.

They remained silent again until they reached the hospital. Nobody quite knew what exactly to say to each other.

The small group entered the hospital. They had prepared themselves to have a long search looking for Joe but surprisingly their blue haired friend was at the reception desk and Ken, Sora and Tai were with him.

"Kari!" exclaimed Tai rushing forward and pulling his sister into a hug. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you need Joe to have a look at you? Joe! Joe! You better have a look at Kari. As soon as the digimon attacked and you were not picking up your phone I ran straight here, didn't I Sora? Joe come on Kari needs your help!" He said quickly without once taking a breath.

Kari pulled away from her over protective brother. "I'm fine," she said. "Tai you don't need to worry, well not about me anyway." Said Kari looking back towards Tk.

The other digidestineds seemed to just realise that Tk was holding Mimi.

"Oh my God Mimi," gasped Sora.

The older kids could tell from the way Mimi was slumped over Tk's shoulder that the girl was dead.

Ken grabbed Yolei's arm and pulled his girlfriend into a protective hug. As the couple shared a moment of closeness Tk explained what had happened and their plan to leave the city.

Tai nodded understandingly. "We have no choice," he said.

Sora and Joe nodded in unison.

"Guys, I'll go gather some supplies," said Joe. "If the digimon are attacking humans we're going to need antiseptics and bandages and stuff. I'll be back in a minute."

The others nodded and then put their heads down in silence. It had been a tough day and it was still nowhere near over.

Tai looked over to Tk the blonde was shivering and panting slightly. He still had Mimi on his shoulders.

"Hey, Tk," said Tai, "I'll carry Mimi now you look like you could do with a bit of a rest."

Tk smiled graciously at Tai and handed over Mimi. The blonde's arm brushed off Tai's as he did so.

"Jeez Tk! Gasped Tai, "you're freezing!"

Tk grimaced.

"Here hold on," said Tai as he placed Mimi down gently on one of the surrounding chairs. Tai pulled off his jacket and handed it to Tk.

"Oh Tai, I can't- began Tk.

"No man it's alright I wear loads of layers during Winter I'll be fine just take It." Said Tai smiling.

Tk smiled with gratitude. "Thanks," he said sincerely.

Tk pulled on the warm jacket. It was lined with fleece on the inside and warmed Tk up instantly as his Goosebumps quickly faded.

Tai hoisted Mimi's limp frame up onto his shoulders and sighed.

Sora tried to hold back tears. "It's serious this time," she said sadly.

Tai looked to her and nodded. "Yeah."

Davis pulled Kari in close to him. "I'll keep you safe Kar," he whispered.

Kari smiled softly as Tk rolled his eyes in disgust.

"We only need to find Izzy now," Tk said in a melancholic tone.

Tai sighed as the image of Izzy face when he'd see Mimi came shooting into his mind. The war had only just begun and already they were one member down.

At that moment Joe came rushing back with two large bags obviously stuffed with food, blankets and medical supplies. "I raided the laundry and kitchen too," said Joe.

"Are you putting your job in danger here Joe?" asked Cody.

Joe turned to the younger boy and grimaced. "What's the point in having a job if the world you're living in is suffering like this?" he said matter-of-factly.

Cody nodded in understanding as he attempted to smile weakly.

Tk eyed the group of fellow digidestined. "Come on", he said. "Let's find Izzy."

Particularly long chapter by my standards hope you enjoyed it Next time have the tissues at the ready as the gang finally find Izzy :'( Don't forget to review and until next time, toodles xx
