[When the D-Terminal's video starts up the picture is of a familiar sight for many-- A Dark Zone. The video rests there for a minute, watching as the zone pulsed before the boy turned it back with a scowl.]

Masaru Daimon-- one of them-- decided to punch an Etemon straight into the Dark Zone. He's been missing for a while now. Some of you know what this thing does, but we need to get him out. I can't do this on my own so if you guys want to help out that'd be great.

...I heard from some passing Digimon the Koromon and Yokomon village have gone rabid and started heading for the sea. We're in Server now, but it won't be long before the start digivolving and making their way there.

You guys better start preparing.

[The feed is, for the most part, intentional. The movement of the D-Terminal may not be as the boy sets the device on the tree limb and takes a few steps forward before situating himself with a practiced easy on top.

It seems someone has decided to meet the Beemon early.

Below the cybernetic dragon is taking a few of the JewelBeemon out on his own. Some seem to stop and fight him as well while most seem to ignore it in lieu of their destination.]

Hm. [He shifts to grab his Digivice before pulling out two cards.] Card Slash! Hyper-Sonic. Boost Chip.

[The Cyberdramon seems to be doing noticeably better in both overpowering and sped that makes the boy relax a little before turning to the D-Terminal.]

Everyone has a few more hours to be prepared. I've arranged to esord a Trailmon safely through to the city and to File Island. Once you're out of range o these guys it'll be safer. They seem to only have one motive.

Most of you may not want to fight, but you don't have a choice. We don't have a choice. It's like Koushirou said, if you want a home to go back to you've got to protect it yourself. That's why you're here. This isn't some game.

Taichi needs help. Whatever he's found has to be something to do with why we're all here in the first place. Want to go home? Then he needs help.

We're not going to make you fight, but everyone is lucky to have that city. It's convenient. If you don't want to see yourself living in then wild then protect it.

[Sighing, he stands up as he turns to look over at Cyberdramon. He's far too used to this, but he's not going to say it.]

RYOU!

[The gravelly shout of his partner makes Ryou clutch his hand.]

I'm coming.

[He tossed the D-Terminal a look over his shoulder though the viewer could no longer see his face.]

Instead of pretending this has nothing to do with you, I suggest you guys get ready. That Trailmon will be there in an hour. It won't be there long. We can guide you out, but after that it's whoever wants to go with you.

It's up to you. 

[And with that he jumps from the limb as the feed times out.]

[ The video feed clicks on smoothly to display a young girl with a deep frown. She's wearing a pair of ear buds and a broken-heart shirt as she pulls a pair of sunglasses from her features. Lavender eyes flicker toward the screen and then away again, as if to focus on someone unseen. ]

There were three of us. I don't understand why there has to be so many now.

[ There's no audible answer and Ruki rolls her eyes, resettling her attention on the screen. ]

Look. I'm tired of waiting, so I'm making a proposal:

Anyone who wants to train, meet me outside of the public training buildings at seven a.m., every morning. The goal is to be able to leave the city and go fight for real after a week or so, so don't bother coming if you're going to drag your feet.
