(Tamers!)

Jianliang felt like he was performing in a circus just trying to get ready. Shaochung rushed to and fro, nearly causing her brother to trip more than once. Terriermon sat perched on Jianliang's shoulders making comments. Lopmon politely tried to stay out of the way, but still managed to get his ear stepped on. In the end though, the four of them put on warmer clothes and were heading out to meet with the others.

"Where are we going?" Shaochung asked. "Is it the park?"

"No, not this time, remember? We're meeting everyone at Hypnos today. Dad will be there, it's something important so try to behave." Jianliang took his sister's hand as they turned down a more crowded street.

"But I wanted to pway- ah play with everyone at the park! Please can we go there instead?"

"Shaochung no. We can go there later, but this meeting is important." Jianliang was getting agitated. They were already running late, arguing with Shaochung wouldn't help any.

"Momentai"

Arriving at hypnos, they found most of the others already inside. Jianliang did a quick headcount in his head. It seemed Ryo, Juri, Kazu, Ai, Makoto, and their partners were the ones who were missing. It was doubtful if Ai, Makoto, or Juri had even been invited to this meeting. Ryo probably couldn't make it and Kazu was probably running late, but those of course were only guesses. Oh wait, here Kazu is now. The boy burst in through the door with guardromon doing his best to keep up. "Sorry we're late." He says before throwing himself onto the floor.

"So what's all of this about?" Jianliang asked, directing his attention to his dad and his colleagues.

"It would seem, that the d-reaper left us another gift in the digital world." Yamaki stated simply.

"Hold on, shouldn't we wait for everyone? If it's got to do with the d-reaper, everyone should hear this," Takato said looking around the room as if searching for someone.

"If you're referring to your girlfriend, I saw no need to call her. There isn't any point involving her any longer." Yamaki states coldly.

"She isn't my girlfriend, and she has a right to be here too. Just because Juri doesn't have a digimon anymore doesn't mean she's not involved."

"Hey can you shut up for a while? We can talk to the others later, let's just get this over with already." Ruki tried to sound unconcerned, but nothing involving the d-reaper is ever good. They needed to hear whatever Yamaki had to say and now. Takato became quiet after that. Kenta shuffled his shoes nervously, marineangemon making a quiet chirp next to him.

Shaochung amused herself by playing with lopmon's ears and Guilmon plopped down next to her.

Finally, Yamaki gestured to Janyu to explain to situation.

"Deep in the digital world, the d-reaper created a tear. We've been monitoring it for sometime, hoping for it to close on its own, but it's been getting larger. We've sent out probes to figure out where this tear leads, and we've made a few attempts at closing it. Nothing has worked so far, but it's concerning. New data is finding its way into the digital world through that breach, and with no way of knowing what's on the other side we don't know what will come through. Worse yet, we believe that if this tear stays open more will form until the digital world collapses into it. Afterwards it's only a matter of time before our world follows."

(Adventure!)

"You're telling me that the digital world has been invaded by pink sky lasers? You're joking right?"

"No Tai, this is for real. I can prove it to all of you too, just go see for yourselves!" Izzy had spent the past thirty minutes telling everyone what he found, and at first no one could believe him. But then they remembered it was Izzy telling them this, and knew it had to be true if Izzy believed it. But they'd still better see for themselves just to be sure.

"I guess it's back to the digital world. Everyone ready?" Davis asked. It was a bit unnecessary, but everyone cheered yes and held out their digivices. The group of six teenagers, six kids, and twelve digimon returned to the digital world.
