Gomamon found himself in a dense forest, he searched the area until he was tired. The sky had changed some time ago and now everything was dark. "Maybe I should rest and find them tomorrow..." The idea was tempting.
There was a rustle of leaves nearby, and Gomamon perked up at the thought of seeing someone. This whole place seemed deserted!
"Hey! Come out! Is that you Joe? Well hurry up an show yourself!" The rookie shouted, hope being sparked. But what came out wasn't his partner or their friends, just as well maybe he could ask for some help. Or not.
The newcomer digimon slashed at Gomamon with a sword. Gomamon dodged just in the nick of time.
"Claw attack!" Gomamon launched his counter attack, but his assailant remained unaffected.
(Tamers!)
"If we want to know exactly what we're up against, we're going to need to send in a team to investigate." Yamaki conversed in the privacy of an apartment room.
"I can see where you're coming from, but the only people we have who know the digital world are the kids and their partners. We can't ask it of them to go back there." Riley said, sipping a cup of coffee.
"There is still Shimbumi, but he doesn't recall much of his time there. I'd hoped it wouldn't have come to this, but I sent Jianliang back with a message for the rest of the tamers. I wonder... just how often will I have to remain powerless and relay upon children..."
"Those kids did save the world, if they and their parents agree to go investigate, we should let them. This time, we have a sure way to get them to and back from the digital world safely. They won't be going in blind like last time either."
"That's if they decide to help. I don't even know if they understand the situation at hand fully yet. Our world could very well be destroyed by the breach. It's almost like this is the d-reaper's final trump card."
"Whatever you decide to do Yamaki, I'm sure you'll make the right call."
"You give me too much credit. Janyu's the one running the show nowadays. And once those kids are old enough to work, I'll likely be out of a job." Yamaki ended lightly.
(Adventure awaits!)
"Digiport open!" TK said staring ahead at a desktop monitor. He and Patamon were pulled back into the digital world.
"So what do we do now TK?" Patamon asked landing on the ground and looking up at his partner.
"Well we're going to find our friends Patamon. There isn't much more we can do back home." TK said as he started into the jungle. "Our old digivices could detect one another, so my d3 should do the same right?"
"Won't the others get worried if they find out you're not back home?"
"Don't worry Patamon. Mom thinks I'm asleep and so will everyone else. We have all night to look for Davis and the others and it shouldn't take too long. I can't imagine someone as loud as Davis staying hidden for long. We'll find them and then go home, easy as that!"
"Flamemon! Where'd you go? Flamemon!" A girl's voice called out.
"Who's there?" Patamon yelled.
(Tamers!)
"I'm really sorry Takato. I didn't realize how late it had gotten" Jianliang said having met said friend on his way back to the park.
"It's alright Jian, just-" his friend started to say.
"It's not awright! My brother left me and Lopmon there forever! It's cold and mom's going to be reawy mad we missed dinner! Say your sorry and beg us to forgive you!" Shaochung shouted out her rant.
"Beg?" Takato stumbled.
"Alright. I'm sorry for my rudeness Shaochung and Lopmon. Please forgive me." Jianliang said promptly.
"It's quite alright Jianliang. It really i-"
"Don't forgive him so easily Lopmon! Older brothers like him need to learn manners!"
"Momentai Shaochung! We left Takato with you, and Jian thought we'd be gone only a minute. We just thought you'd like it at the park more than going back into that boring old building." Terriermon mended.
"I- I know... I forgive you brother. I'm sorry for shouting..." Shaochung was quite disappointed in herself. Of course they'd treat her like a little kid, she still acted like one.
"Well I'm glad that's over. I'll see you later Jian-"
"Takato wait, You should know what my dad and the others found." Jianliang said sternly.
"Oh? What's happened?"
"Something has come through the breach, they are in the digital world as we speak. Yamaki has asked me to tell everyone, that he's sending a group to investigate and he'd like to see everyone and our parents after school on Monday. He said that we should think about what we're going to do before then"
(Adventure!)
"It's getting late, we should probably get to sleep." Yolie said, yawning a bit. Ken looked over from his spot at the desk.
"It seems the others beat you too it." Ken said gesturing to the sleeping forms of Cody, Upomon, Poromon, and Wormmon. It looked like a kid sleeping with a pile of stuffed toys.
"Maybe you should get home, I don't think your parents are comfortable with you sleeping over at a boy's house."
"They're not, which is why I told them I went to Kari's. I'll stay, I want to be here incase anything else happens."
"Thank you Yolie."

Sorry for how long this took and for how short it is. (Also for how slow things are going, and a number of other things too.)
But happy Valentine's day everyone!
