Alright, I have several chapters written and plenty more on the way! So with this, you can start expecting more frequent updates! I hope you like this chapter! By the way, thanks for everyone's reviews. They indeed help me and encourage me to write faster.

I do not own Digimon. If I did, this would've been a movie after Adventure 02. I do not own the characters either.

Izzy cleared his throat. Everyone was still talking softly around the conference table in Tai's office building. But at least everyone was there. Well, almost everyone. The Digimon were resting from the battle, and Dr. Maynard was working on Joe in the hospital. Tai was off alone. Everyone else was there. Abigail sat to Izzy's left, prepared to support him when he needed it. Izzy smiled. He did need her now more than ever. Sora sat by herself, still upset. Izzy wondered why Tai wasn't there beside her, but didn't pry. That relationship had been rocky from the start, and Izzy didn't want to add to it. He looked over and saw Yolei and Davis near each other talking quietly, which was odd. But then Izzy realized that they were both worried about Ken. They had not found anything else about their missing team member. Susan also sat quietly to herself. Izzy did not know what her whole story was, so he couldn't judge. But she did seem to be worried about Joe. Mimi was talking to Sarah. And then there was T.K. and Kari. Kari looked as if she had been crying, and T.K. looked rough, but they had been through a lot in the past month.

The door opened behind Izzy. The red-haired Digidestined turned and saw Tai in the doorway. Tai stood with an air of authority, with his head held high. He quickly glanced at Sarah, who nodded slightly and smiled. Tai's eyes met Sora's and they softened, but only a moment. Then he was Tai the leader again. The room quited as he approached the head of the table.

"Thank you everyone for coming on short notice. I know we've been through a lot, but we will make it through. We are the Digidestined. We've made it through the good," His voice broke as he looked at the ground. ". . .and the bad. But I know Joe, if he were with us now, would smile and tell us it was going to be okay. So I will too. It will be okay. I know we can beat this. Now. . ." Tai walked over and sat on the left side of Izzy. "Izzy, please tell us why we've been called here." Izzy nodded at the leader.

"Well, I wanted to recap what we know, as well as release some new information we have just collected. First, there is a new Digidestined named Umaso, and he is the Digidestined of. . ." Izzy's face furrowed in confusion.

"He is the Digidestined of War or Aggression." Tai finished for him. Izzy nodded.

"Tai, would you care to explain how you know this?" Izzy asked once again. Tai sighed, and then nodded. He then recounted his tale of going to the Wishing World and meeting the man, carefully leaving out any mention of Sora and Tai's relationship, and the man's prediction of it.

"So you just said thank you and left?" Mimi asked. Tai nodded guiltily.

"I had no idea he was telling the truth. I didn't want to worry you." Tai said.

"Joe will probably die because of you! Because you didn't want to worry us!" Susan's face flashed in anger.

"Don't you think I know that?" Tai snapped. "Don't you think I haven't been going over the past month in my head, going over things I could have said or done? I have been, and it's eating me alive!" The room was silent.

"I think, yes Tai made a mistake, but we couldn't have done anything if we had known. Tiberimon was still unbeatable," Sora's voice was soft compared to the previous two. Then Izzy started to speak once more.

"And also, Ken is gone. Now, from what Umaso said to Davis, we know Umaso has Ken. But we think he is safe for now. "

"If Umaso hurts Ken, I'll kill him myself." Davis nodded in agreement with Yolei's threat.

"Izzy, what is this new information you have for us?" Sora asked quietly. Izzy and Abigail exchanged glances.

"Tiberimon has destroyed the primary village." Izzy admitted. Nearly everyone sat up ramrod straight.

"What! Then how is Gomamon and Leomon supposed to come back?" Mimi asked.

"They won't." Izzy looked down.

"Wait a minute. Isn't the Primary Village just a place where the eggs show up? Won't they show up even if the town is destroyed?" At Yolei's question everyone looked at Izzy. He frowned.

"No. The village, although looking just like physical buildings, in data code, it is a conduit or a portal that the eggs must come through. If the code is destroyed, the eggs cannot come through." Everyone started to talk at once. Tai held up his hand to silence everyone.

"Guys, I think we need everyone here before we do anything. It's like Leomon said. We'll need our whole team here to beat Tiberimon."

"Not necessarily." Came a voice from the doorway. Everyone turned to see Gennai standing there.

"Gennai." Izzy nodded and gave the floor to the older man. Gennai looked at all of the Digidestined.

"Digidestined. Everything in life is balanced. There is good and evil, light and dark, black and white, etc. etc. This is the same with Umaso and Tiberimon. In order to defeat them, you will need something equal and opposite." The old man explained.

"An opposite Digidestined! Of course, with the Dark Digidestined and all, why didn't I think of that!" Tai face lit up during his exclamation.

"Guys, what if Ken is his opposite? That could explain why Umaso kidnapped him. And there was one Dark Digidestined missing when we faced off. We couldn't account for one at all. Could Umaso be that missing person?" Sora questioned. Gennai shook his head.

"No. Ken's crest is Kindness. Umaso's is War. They don't fit. No, we are looking for a new Digidestined. One of Peace." Gennai stroked his chin in thought. "But where do we find them?" They all thought a moment. Abigail grabbed Izzy's shoulder.

"Izzy! The mirror program!" She said. Izzy's face lit up.

"Yes! But it would only work if. . . Gennai, do you have the person's crest?" Izzy asked, looking up at Gennai. The man thought.

"I can obtain a copy." He said finally. Izzy grinned.

"Good. We might have a way of finding them. Gennai, get me that crest and everyone meet me in the Command Center in an hour."

… … … … …

Ken woke up. He was alone. This fact alone made him alert.

"Sam?" He asked, sitting up fast. Then he felt extremely dizzy. He withstood it and continued to sit up. There was no answer to his query. He looked around the room, but it was too dark to see anything.

"Sam. . ." Ken asked. He then realized he was very parched. He licked his lips to moisten them, but he needed water. He heard footsteps in the hallway. Knowing who it would probably be, Ken tried to back up into the darkness. Sure enough, Umaso came in the door with two guards.

"Kennnnnn!" Umaso called in a taunting manner. He obviously couldn't see Ken. "Come out come out where ever you are." Umaso said in a sing song voice.

"Where's Sam?" Ken asked. Umaso smiled. He made a pointing motion toward the darkness. The two guards walked out of the light and found Ken. They dragged him into the single spotlight.

"He's back in his cell. We had to. . . talk some things over with him." Umaso grinned. the two guards chuckled. Ken's face contorted into rage.

"You leave him alone!" He thrashed. One of the guards punched Ken in the back. They dropped him. Ken laid on the floor in pain. Umaso squatted beside him.

"Don't worry, I will. But only if you cooperate. Now Ken, it is time for your second exercise." Umaso grin widened. Ken's face paled and he tried to back up again.

"Second . . . exercise . . .?" A shiver went down Ken's spine. Umaso nodded.

"Yes, your second exercise in strength: remaining strong during constant pain. You see this?" Umaso held up a small cylindrical device. It was about the size of his palm, if not slightly smaller. It had no special markings or buttons.

"This is a pain-giver. I was going to attach it to you spine. It would've sent small volts of electricity throughout your system increasingly. It was to be your 'test'. But I also had my doctors examine you while you were unconscious. They tell me you have recently mended a broken right arm. So I thought 'why teach a dog to walk when he already knows to run?'"

"What?" Ken's voice shook with fear and confusion. Umaso smiled.

"Let me put it in terms you can understand." Umaso walked over to Ken. He took Ken's right arm with both of his hands; one at the wrist, and one at the elbow. Umaso then brought Ken's arm down as he shoved his knee up. They collided with a sharp CRACK! followed shortly by Ken's scream of pain. He rolled on the floor in agony, clutching his now re-broken arm. Umaso laughed and exited, leaving Ken writhing in pain. Tears slid down Ken's cheek as he rolled from side to side. All he could think of to numb the pain was Yolei's face, and the thought of seeing her again. Yes, he had to survive for Yolei. . .

… … … … …

"Okay everyone," Abigail said, taking charge of everything. Izzy was continuing to do calculations in the computer and typing. They had been almost excited by this, but it had taken a while to complete. "Izzy and I had been throwing around this idea before the attack."

"Abigail," Izzy called. She stopped abruptly and walked over. She started typing as well. Izzy looked behind him.

"When we were in the Digital World the first time, I told you how the Digital World is directly connected to ours. So we had an idea. We thought-."

"Izzy," Abigail called. Izzy immediately went to work back at the terminal. Abigail turned around and addressed the group.

"We thought what if we could track something through the Real World by the Digital World? It would be very beneficial and think of the ramifications!" Abigail said. This caused a small stir as everyone discussed it quietly.

"Abigail," Izzy said. She turned and started typing again. Sora smiled at how well they flowed together. They traded positions explaining and building the program so smoothly you'd think they'd known each other for years. They way they meshed together was impressive.

"So, if Gennai has provided the crest copy, we should be able to track its pattern through the Digital World to the Real One," Izzy said. Gennai handed him the crest. It was just the depiction of a single olive branch.

"But Izzy, how does that work?" Tai asked. Izzy and Abigail exchanged glances.

"Don't worry," Izzy said, uploading the crest. "There are too many technicalities to go into right now. We just need it to work."

"Aaaaannnndd there!" Abigail said, finishing. Her and Izzy turned to the screen.

"We should be able to lock onto the crest's signal," Izzy said typing. On the main viewer screen, the rest of the Digidestined saw a model of the Real World line up with a diagram of the Digital World. Then they saw lines of data flowing through. They were tracking. Suddenly there was a beeping noise and the trackers stopped in a specific location. Abigail pushed a button and the Digital World model disappeared. Then coordinates popped up. Izzy and Abigail exchanged small smiles.

"They are in Japan," Izzy said. Tai nodded.

"We need people to go find them," Tai said. Kari's looked up. This was her chance to get away from Tai.

"T.K. and I will go," She said. T.K. looked at her, and then nodded. Tai saw what they were doing.

"But I really think T.K. should stay here. His injuries are bad," Tai said, frowning.

"Actually," Dr. Maynard said quietly. "The getting around might be good for him. His body needs to exercise and recover." Tai glowered.

"Fine!" He said, but looked around the room. "But Davis goes too!" Davis looked at Tai.

"What?" Tai looked at him.

"So you won't do it?" Tai asked. Davis' eyes widened at his role model.

"No Tai, I'll do it!" Davis said quickly.

"Thanks Davis." Tai said. Kari glared at her brother.

"I suggest your partners go too. If Umaso is smart, he'll have tracked this person down as well. Perhaps not in the same way, but he probably has done so." Gennai spoke. Davis nodded. T.K., Kari, and Davis left to get their partners and go to the transporter room.

"How's Joe?" Sora asked. Dr. Maynard shook his head.

"I've done all I can do. It's all up to him now. . ."

… … … … …

Susan walked into Joe's room. Joe was very pale and his side was all bandaged up. But he looked peaceful. It looked like the peace of sleep. . . or death. She pulled up a chair beside him. She then took his hand.

"Joe. . ." She said, her voice breaking. "You have to come back. We need you here. We need your reliability. We need your care now more than ever. Come back. . . . please. . ." Then suddenly. . . nothing happened. Joe remained lifeless.

… … … … …

"It's all my fault." Yolei said. The person walked beside her sighed.

"Yolei, you know it isn't."

"Isn't it?" Yolei asked.

"No, it isn't."

"But Cody-."

"No Yolei. What happened was an accident. If you were with Ken at the time, you probably would've been kidnapped too," Cody said. He had arrived shortly after T.K., Kari, and Davis left. They had briefed him on what had happened. Now they were all waiting on the three to find the Digidestined of Peace. The two of them were in the Transporter rooms.

"But. . . I could've protected him. I mean. . . I left him there." Yolei said, starting to tear up. Yolei was usually a strong person, not allowing her feelings to show. But she was very shook up now.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Cody asked. Yolei sighed.

"He was closing himself off. He wouldn't talk to me. I mean. . . we had only been together a month, but we had been through so much. He was great at first, and slowly I realized I was losing him."

"Losing him?" Cody asked.

"He wouldn't talk, and when he did it was short. The last time we spoke. . ." her voice cracked. "The last time we spoke I confronted him. I was so frustrated that I snapped! And now. . ."

"Usually when people distance themselves they are trying to escape something, such as a memory or a feeling. Do you know anything he was trying to escape from?" Cody asked. Yolei shook her head.

"I don't. Unless he was trying to get away from me."

"Listen Yolei. Ken loves you. I saw that last month. We all did. And you love him don't you?" Cody asked. Yolei nodded.

"Then you have to be here for him. You just have to. He will need you when we find him."

"I don't understand." she said, confused, but just then, the monitor came to life and flashed. A figure emerged from it. Suddenly Matt was standing there. "Hi." He said taking a step forward.

So let's see... there were a lot of developments this chapter. Tell me what you think of them! Review! Thanks!
