Back in the Mayor's office, Metal Monzaemon sat down at his desk, Madpuffymon being a decoy to trick the girls. He flipped a switch under his desk, causing the wall on the right to slide up into the ceiling, revealing a group of monitors. On them, obviously, were live feeds of the girls.

Sora and Biyomon had long since zoned out and drifted away from the Blimpmon, both vertically and horizontally. The two had gone about fifty stories high before they were found by the other Madpuffymon. The Digimon dragged Sora back to the hot air balloon ride. As for Biyomon, she was simply stored in a warehouse.

Gatomon reasoned that she had spent almost all of her time finding a way outside. She had almost decided to just get out of city hall and just look around the city for the girls when she heard a truck engine.

I found a way out! Gatomon happily thought. Running to the source, she came to a vent about five feet above her.

Gatomon wasn't bothered by that though; she just concentrated and inflated herself. In seconds she was able to grab the vent. Deflating, Gatomon opened the vent and saw...
