The left pair of shining eyes in the darkness bobbed up and down for a moment, indicating the nodding of their owner. "Yes, I knew we were right about the winged one. He is, indeed, the Third One."
"Then we must make haste," the second unknown entity to the right exclaimed. "He must not develop too strong bonds with the human that calls himself 'Dark Lord'."
"I know, but we also must be cautious... one false move and everything we have been working on for the past years will be for nothing."
A short pause.
"I have a report, Fifth One! I have a hunch about who could be the First One."
"You have? Show me, then..."
For a second, neither said anything, but after that, the first pair of eyes nodded yet again. "So, it is that child, is it? Then you must hurry, Second One! Go out and meet with that child. We have to gain its trust."
"It shall be as you said, Fifth One!"
The scraping sounds of a massive body grinding over a stone floor echoed through the darkness, as the second pair of eyes turned around and left the meeting place...

Somewhere in the city, unwatched by any pedestrian, a round manhole cover shifted around, until it got lifted and moved to the side.
Out of the depths of the earth crawled a cowering Digimon with green skin, dripping with the wetness of the canals. Its fanged mouth opened up in a feral smirk, while its eyes gleamed maliciously.
"First One... I am coming for you," the little Betamon chuckled as he skittered across the street.

"Hey, Takato!" Jeri greeted her friend and class mate. "You got that homework ready?"
"Yeah, I managed to do a tiny bit," Takato groaned. "I wish I could just do it while I'm at school, that would increase my free time in the afternoon."
Jeri giggled. "That's just like you, Takato! Hey, I've got some awesome news I gotta tell you. You know, Rika, Harmony and I found out that we could..."
The bell rang.
"Oh, we got to hurry," Jeri gasped. "Hurry, Takato, or we'll be late. I'll tell you everything during the break, okay?"
Together, they hurried into their classroom. Although, Takatomon had to wonder who that 'Harmony' person was that Jeri had been talking about.
"Almost two minutes too late," the voice of their homeroom teacher, Miss Asaji, exclaimed in a scolding tone of voice as they entered.
"Sorry about that, Miss Asaji," Jeri blurted out as she quickly dashed towards her desk.
"Yes, we..." Takato stopped his sentence abruptly when he saw the figure of his teacher standing in front of the blackboard.
"Guh..." He really didn't feel able to give off any comment that sounded more intelligent than that.
Because in front of him, wearing the very same scowl on her face which Miss Asaji had always showed when he was late, a Lillymon was standing.
"I suppose you might want to say something more intelligible then just 'Guh' to convince me not to give you any imposition, Takato," the Lillymon said in Miss Asaji's voice.
"Gee, I wonder what's wrong with Takato today," the ToyAgumon that was sitting at Miki's desk said.
"Beats me," Kazu shrugged. "Perhaps he forgot his homework?"
----
The Cupimon known as Ai giggled as she sat upon the swing in her parents' garden and her brother Mako pushed her.
"Higher, Mako, higher!"
The TinyDevimon grinned. "You just have to ask."
Suddenly, a rustling in the garden's bushes made Mako stop, which in turn made Ai turn around her head in confusion.
Crawling out of the shrubs came a Betamon, a strange glint in his eyes.
"Hello there, kids!" the amphibian Rookie said in a cheerful tone of voice. "You wanna play with me?"
At first, the two children were confused, but then, little Ai smiled. "Sure," she exclaimed happily. "Wanna play hide and seek?"
"Sounds like fun," the Betamon said. "Can I be the seeker?"
"Yeah, okay," Mako shouted excitedly, having identified the stranger as a potential playmate.
But just as Betamon was going to come closer, a violet blur jumped down from the roof and landed in front of him.
"Not so fast, buddy!" Impmon angrily snarled. "Those kids are my turf! You better crawl back to where you came from, and fast!"
