Well it is about time I finished this chapter…though I don't know if anyone is reading this I hope if someone is that they enjoy it, so anyway I obviously own nothing.

Chapter 4: Meanwhile…

"So let's go over this again, where are the girls?"

"I don't know."

"Ok and where is the alien?"

"I don't know."

"Ok, how about we go over this one more-"

"God dammit Chisa! How many times do you need me to tell you!?" Megumi cried out in frustration. She was in Chisa's office after the fog that the girl's had gone into vanished, only problem was, the girls were not in it, neither were their borgs, there wasn't even an alien.

"As many times as it takes for you to tell me what really happened!" Chisa yelled back at Megumi. She simply could not believe that the huge alien they had seen within the fog, and the girls, had just vanished into thin air.

"Please Chisa. I had a hard time believing what happened too, but we're wasting time arguing about this, we need to find them!" Megumi said; Chisa stared at her for a moment before sighing.

"I…guess you would not lie to me about something like this," Chisa said in submission, Megumi gave a relived smile which vanished as Chisa gave her a glare "But that doesn't change the fact that you lost the girls!"

"Chisa, there was nothing I could have done…at least I don't think so," Megumi said with a somewhat confused look on her face. She was trying to figure this out, but she could not; she always came to a blank. What had happened?

"Well then," Chisa began as she went over to Megumi's computer "We'll just need to find out what we're dealing with."

"What are you doing?" Megumi said, coming up behind Chisa.

"Trying to identify the alien we saw," Chisa said as she searched through the database of aliens.

"But Chisa, we only saw its shadow," Megumi said in protest. She and Chisa had briefly seen the shadow of the alien when the fog first showed up, it was a huge, four armed creature with what looked like cannons on its back, as well as a horn on its nose.

"I'm sure it was enough to identify it, we just need to find one that matches!" Chisa insisted as she continued to search through the different aliens. Megumi just stared at her with an unsure look on her face.

"But Chisa…I just can't shake this feeling that this was no ordinary alien…" Megumi said; it was just too strange to her; an alien showing up in a field of fog? Not to mention how massive it looked from the shadow she had seen, how could it have escaped so seamlessly? It all just didn't sit well with Megumi.

"Megumi what are you getting at?" Chisa asked, turning to the Alien Party advisor.

"It just had a…unnatural air to it," Megumi said with a shiver. There was something about that alien that really unnerved her.

"It's all in your head Megumi," Chisa sighed while shaking her head; she then turned her attention back to the alien database and continued her search for the mysterious alien's identity. Megumi could only nod in agreement, but inside she could not shake her feelings of uneasiness.

'Where is she?' was the thought that dominated Miyu's mind as she sat in class. The bell to return to class had rung awhile ago, yet Yuri had not returned. Miyu had originally suspected that she, Kumi, and Kasumi had just had a little trouble with the alien and that Yuri would show up halfway through class or something. But now she was starting to get worried.

Miyu stared intensely at the clock as it ticked away. Class was going to end in barely a minute; Miyu was not even paying attention to whatever the teacher was talking about. All she wanted was for the bell to ring so she could look for Yuri.

The bell rang and Miyu hurried out of the classroom without a second thought. Miyu joined a crowd of her classmates as they discussed this or that, she didn't really care what they were talking about. Finding Yuri was her priority.

"Um, excuse me, have you seen Yuri?" Miyu asked one of the girls in her class.

"Yuri? The girl in the Alien Party who cries a lot?" the girl asked. Miyu nodded, but was slightly irritated at Yuri being called simply 'The girl in the Alien Party who cries a lot,' sure Yuri cried, but who wouldn't cry in her position. Miyu shook off this irritation remembering she was trying to find out where Yuri was.

"Yes, her, have you seen her?" Miyu asked.

"Not really, no," The girl shrugged before walking away. Miyu gave a sigh and tried to find someone else to ask. She spotted Hiroshi and approached him. Hiroshi may not have exactly been Yuri's friend, but he at least knew her and hopefully would be a little more help then that girl.

"Hey, Hiroshi!" Miyu called out to the boy who turned to her, some confusion visible on his face.

"Um, ya? Miyu-right?" Hiroshi asked, slightly confused as to why Miyu would want to talk to him "Um…look if this is about those aliens, I'm sorry, they were warping our minds and-"

"No," Miyu interrupted holding up her hand "It's not about that. I just want to know if you had seen Yuri," Miyu explained.

"I'm sorry but last I saw her she was with you. Have you tried the Alien Party room?" Hiroshi asked. Miyu shook her head.

"No, why didn't I think of that?" Miyu sighed feeling somewhat stupid at the moment. She came to the conclusion that her worry was clouding her judgment, and had to remind herself that she did not know if anything bad had actually happened to Yuri…yet. Miyu shook these thoughts off again. She needed to focus.

Miyu quickly ran off towards the Alien Party room, leaving a somewhat confused Hiroshi behind.

"Chisa, you have searched through that list three times! That thing is not in there!" Megumi cried in annoyance as she watched Chisa search through the list of aliens once more.

"No, it is in here somewhere!" Chisa yelled. She had to have missed something; the alien had to be in there somewhere. Megumi looked at her friend and sighed.

"Look Chisa, it is clear that what we saw is not in there, we need to find another tactic to this," Megumi explained, being somewhat gentler in tone considering Chisa's frustration at the moment. Chisa slowly nodded and got up from the computer chair.

"Perhaps you are right Megumi…but I still think it is just an alien!" Chisa stated firmly. Megumi nodded, she still thought there was something odd about the 'alien' that had attacked, but decided she did not need to convince Chisa. They needed to focus on finding out what had happened.

"Fine Chisa, it is probably just a normal alien that hasn't been cataloged yet," Megumi said, knowing that the alien's origin did not really matter right now "Perhaps we need to investigate the area of their disappearance."

"Yes, likely there is a lead or something that you missed," Chisa said, much to Megumi's annoyance. She may be going along with looking again, but she was sure there were no leads. Megumi had no idea what was going on, but she was sure it was not what they normally dealt with. The two adults walked out of the room. Intent to find some trace of the girls, unaware of the computer that was beginning to glow…

…Hahahaha…HAHAHA!

"Yuri. Are you in here?" Miyu called out; stepping into the Alien Party room, the room appeared to be completely empty; much to Miyu's discomfort. Miyu looked around the room for any sign of her friends "Yuri? Kumi? Kasumi? You guys still aren't back?" Miyu questioned, worry clear in her voice.

Help…

Miyu jumped at the sound of the little voice, she looked around the room again but there was still nobody to be seen.

"Um…Yuri?" Miyu asked, half hoping it was her friend speaking, but also worried that if it was Yuri that she needed help.

Please…Help us.

"Kumi? Kasumi?" Miyu asked, her voice weakening, she didn't know who that voice was, but it was freaking her out. Miyu hardly noticed herself walking out of the Alien Party room, and towards where the voice was coming from.

You need to help us!

Miyu was now headed towards the principal's office. The voice was now stronger and it was coming from there. Miyu pushed the door to the office open and stared at the glowing computer.

"What in the world…" Miyu muttered. She was amazed by the sight of the glowing monitor.

"Help!" The voice called out from the computer, stronger and clearer than ever. Miyu reached out towards the screen as the glow increased. In a flash Miyu was gone.

From the hall a red robed figure peaked into the office. He felt himself smirk under his cloak.

"Well isn't that interesting…they found a way to use my own portal to recruit a little help," the robed creature chuckled evilly "Fools…it will do them no good, none can defeat the master," The being laughed as he walked away.

And that is one chapter, maybe the digimon fans will be able to realize who the red robed guy is. Review if you like or have some advice for me. Just be sure that if you give advice/constructive criticism that you tell me what you think of the story also.
