Digimon Hunters Christmas Special

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twas a night before Christmas, and all were asleep. Not a sound could be heard in the Carter house, not even a mouse. Then out of the blue, eight sets of hooves landed on the roof, followed by a heavier thud, but no one awoke. Then, down the chimney, a man with a belly that could best be described as a bowl full of jelly stepped out, but then a digimon followed. The digimon, an Agumon, and the man were wearing the same type of hat, what looked to be a red nightcap with white adornings.

“Alright Nic, you got it?” SantaAgumon asked his partner.

“Yep, I got the gifts for these kids.” Santa said, pulling out his sack and placing the presents under the tree.

“Alright, then let’s get those milk and cookies, I'm starving.” SantaAgumon said, making his way over to the table where the milk and cookies that the Carter’s laid out.

A light turns on in the living room behind them and a voice says, “You’re getting less and less sneaky each year.”

“Ah,” Santa says, “Nikki Carter, formerly Cho Nikki Bora, how are you doing on this fine evening?”

“Good, making sure my 6 month old and the rest of my kids have a good night's sleep and here you are 8 reindeer on the ceiling.”

“Ho, ho, ho, that truly is my fault. But if it helps, all of your kids managed to be on the nice list this year.”

SantaAgumon chimed in, “How’s the foundation?”

“It’s fine, I’m going back in January.”

“Nice to know you’ve recovered enough from childbirth.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the RK Foundation, Ousuke Atsuko sat in his office, working on some paperwork. Some don’t go home, maybe they don't have one, on Christmas.

“How do I have so many employees and yet I still have to personally sign all of the checks?” He mumbled to himself.

Then Ousuke saw a letter he could’ve sworn wasn’t there before, then saying, “Alright, what’s this?”

The letter then read;

Hello, Old Sport,

Every Christmas you spend alone in your office, and every Christmas I spend sighing as I place the presents around the tree. Maybe this year you can change and spend Christmas with those you love, your friend Meiko and her son Jason.

Sincerely,

St. Nicholaus.

Ousuke Atsuko put his glasses and pen down, then went to the elevator, this year he wouldn’t disappoint and this year, he’d be there.

Digimon Hunters Episode 7

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The main Junior Operatives and Junior Rangers were in their base on the 13th floor of the RK Foundation when Ousuke Atsuko entered the room.

“Hello children, I have someone for you all to meet.” He said, gesturing towards the elevator.

“Who is it, Mr. Atsuko?” Hallie asked.

“I’m sure you know her the most out of anyone in this room.” Ousuke responded, being intentionally vague.

As he said that a short girl with orange hair entered the room. She looked around the room at the diverse amount of faces and said, “Hi! I’m Elizabeth Marlow, but you all can call me Lizzie.”

“Wait, Lizzie?” Nick said.

“Nick? It’s been a long time, like 6 years.” Lizzie said.

Jay leaned over to Hallie, cutting us away from this reunion between friends, “Did you hear that last name?”

“Yeah, I heard it,” Hallie whispered to Jay, then looked up at Lizzie and asked, “Are you related to one Annabeth Marlow?”

“Oh, Annie? Yeah, she’s my older sister, did you happen to know where she went? She went missing 2 years ago.” Lizzie responded.

“We have no idea where she went.” Hallie and Jay both looked away in shame.

“On other news, Miss Marlow will not be joining the operatives, her father has told me that she is going to be a Junior Courier.” Ousuke chimed in.

“Oh, so like Njeri?” Jay asked.

“Yes, exactly like Miss Kenyatta, who unfortunately could not be here, she is still on a mission in the UK with one of the other Knights.” Ousuke responded, then he said to the room, "Unfortunately, I have other duties to do, so you may talk, train, or sit around, I do not mind any.”

Ousuke Atsuko left the room, and Lizzie approached where Nick and Adri were sitting. “Hi, I’m Lizzie.”

Adrian looked over and kindly smiled, “I’m Adrian Smith, but you can call me Adri. How do you and Nick know each other?”

Nick chimed in, “Her dad is friends with my mom from back when we lived in America.”

We cut away from this conversation to another across the room where Drea was talking to one Dan.

“Y’know, you’re not too bad when in isolation.” Drea said, hitting him on the shoulder.

“I am going to take that as a compliment.” Dan responded.

“It sorta was. Anyhow, what do you think Jay and Hallie were talking about?” She asked.

“I don’t care about it. But I have a feeling that you won’t stop pestering me about this until I answer.”

“You are right about that buddy.”

“I have a sneaking suspicion that they have another assignment from when they were Junior Operatives like us, and these Njeri and Annabeth people were probably their peers.”

Whilst these conversations continued, the alarm started blaring, signalling the ever familiar attack of a rogue Digimon in Yokohama. Hallie’s voice played over the intercom, “Alright the team today will be Drea, Nick, and Harv, with Lizzie tagging along to get a sense of day to day life as a Junior Op. This attack is near St. Marianna University Yokohama Seibu Hospital. Nora, Adri, and Dan will stay ready as back up.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group arrived at the hospital to find a cloaked figure attacking anything it could see. Dorumon instantly noticed the threat in this situation and digivolved into Dorugamon. Then it tried to fire a big iron ball into the rogue Digimon, but it raised its hand and the ball turned into a black statue, sort of like a game piece for a board game or a TTRPG. Then the Digimon breathered in, gathering a large amount of energy, letting all of that out with a curse-filled shout. Upon hearing that shout, Kakamon turned to Dorugamon and punched it in the face with a firepunch.

“Kakamon, what are you doing?” Dorugamon asked, not hurt but more surprised than anything.

“I… cannot… control… myself…” Kakamon strained, rearing back for another punch.

Bearmon rolled himself up and charged towards the rogue Digimon and before he could do anything the rogue Digimon raised its hand again and turned Bearmon into a shining black statue. Dorugamon upon seeing this started gathering energy to launch a bigger and stronger iron ball, but before it could go off, Kakamon kicked his jaw to the ground, still under the rogue Digimon’s control.

“Nick, should we call Mr. Atsuko? It seems to be going really, really bad.” Lizzie asked.

“I-I don’t know, this has never happened before.” Nick responded, somewhat shocked.

Bearmon couldn’t stand this, he was still conscious and incredibly aware of the fact that he couldn’t fight anymore. But something worse was eating at his mind, he failed his friends, his people needed him and he couldn’t do anything… again… then something inside of Bearmon snapped and…

DIGIVOLUTION!!!!

Grizzlymon burst out of the statue, sending black glass shards everywhere. Then he attacks with the force of a powerful beast, knocking the rogue Digimon to reveal a digimon with red skin that looks like a cartoon demon. It tried to throw a punch at Grizzlymon, but Grizzlymon took its attempted blow and hit the demon with its own attack.

This broke the demon’s control over Kakamon’ allowing the time for Dorugamon to gather enough energy to fire a bigger and stronger iron ball into the demon’s back. Then Grizzlymon flailed its forelegs in the shape of a crescent moon, hitting it on its left and right cheek. Then the demon looked over at Grizzlymon and spoke, “You… you… you hurt me.” It said.

“Yeah, I did, and it was awesome.” Grizzlymon responded.

“I’ll… I’ll make you pay one of these days!” It yelled, running away.

Grizzlymon didn’t bother looking for it, instead he ran over to his friends and asked, “Are you guys ok?”

“Yeah, though I’m so, so sorry Dorugamon.” Kakamon responded.

“It’s ok man, I know there were no hard feelings there.”

The kids ran up and Drea asked, “Are y’all ready to go home?”

“I’ve never been more happy to.” Grizzlymon said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Phelsmon walked into an alley late at night, still wounded from its fight with the Grizzlymon. It was ranting and raving to itself about revenge against the beast that would dare scar it.

“Beautiful night, isn’t it?” A man’s voice said from behind it.

“Wh-who dares approach me whilst I’m in this state?!” The Phelsmon shouted.

“Me? Oh, you can call me Ousuke Atsuko. You probably haven’t heard of me, I used to go by a different name a while ago.” The man responded.

“W-well I do not care for who you are, yo-you are nothing to me, and I’d while you still can.”

“Oh please, if I wanted to hurt you I could very easily. But I do not, I want to know who your boss is, so I’m taking you in.”

Phelsmon started laughing insanely, “You are nothing but a man and you cannot hurt the likes of me.”

Ousuke started laughing, “That’s too funny,” a bright light flashed in the alleyway, “Let’s see how true that statement is…”

[c0d7ton]

Digimon Hunters Episode 6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The kids were inside the RK Foundation main building, some training, others just lounging around waiting for the next assignment. Mikey and Hallie were arguing about something on the computer, probably an optimization issue, but nobody was really paying that much attention except Dan who was not contributing. Rusty had just gotten out of the level three training sim he was running alongside Nick, when they exited into the main room, Rusty saw the argument that Mikey and Hallie were having and chimed in, “Mikey, why are you arguing with Hallie?”

“I’m just suggesting that we port some of the data up here into an external physical storage system instead of having it all on the cloud.” Mikey responded.

“And I’m telling you that is dumb. If someone breaks in they can steal all of the data.” Hallie countered.

“That point is moot because someone could hack in and steal the data with the same amount of effort.”

“Why not have two copies of the data, one in physical storage and the other stored on the internet?” Rusty suggested.

“I don’t think that was the point of the argument, Jun,” Dan chimed in, “I am sure that the point was to prove the other wrong.”

“What’s the difference between internet and physical?” Dracomon asked, sorta out of nowhere.

“The internet is basically the digital world, except we can’t go in there.” Dan responded.

As this conversation continued, the alarms blared, signalling once again the attack of a digimon in the city. This time being in Okano Park. The team dispatched was Nick, Mikey, and Rusty. With Drea, Dan, and Adri on standby as back up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the kids arrived in Okano Park, they saw a wild Cerberusmon attacking anything it laid its six eyes on. As soon as Dorumon saw the Cerberusmon, he digivolved into Dorugamon, which is better suited for the oncoming battle. Leomon coughed a little before saying, “Alright, let’s do this!”

Leomon charged into battle, punching the digimon in one of its heads, being met with a bite of flame into his fists. Retaliating by launching an aura in the shape of its head into Cerberusmon’s torso, being met with another bite in return. Dorugamon launched an iron sphere into Cerberusmon’s side, hitting it away from Leomon for a moment, before it lunged towards Dorugamon, slamming into him. Dracomon’s horns glow intensely before sending a beam of energy into Cerberusmon, barely making it flinch. 

Cerberusmon bit into Dorugamon’s side, before getting punched in the throat by Leomon, knocking it backwards. Leomon then picked up Dorugamon and threw him at Cerberusmon, slashing it with his claws. Cerberusmon then stomped its feet and a shadow fell over the whole park. It then lunged at Leomon, biting both of his arms, then firing a blast of fire at Dorugamon, sending him careening into a tree. Dracomon, seeing that, flew at Cerberusmon, whacking it with his tail very heavily. Then he spewed fire all over Cerberusmon, but it did little damage because Cerberusmon was nigh immune to fire, then it bit Dracomon in the shoulder, being met with Dracomon’s horns glowing and headbutting Cerberusmon in the central head. This attack seemed to do the most damage out of any Dracomon used. Seeing no other option, and his friends in danger, Dracomon tried his hardest and…

DIGIVOLUTION!!!!

Blue Greymon sliced Cerberusmon up and down with its tail, sending it flying towards Leomon, who punched and sent the aura of its head into Cerberusmon’s torso, then Dorugamon charged up its energy and sent a bigger iron sphere into its chest. Finally Blue Greymon stomped on Cerberusmon with the force of a powerful beast, finally knocking it out. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“What did that Digimon do?” Ousuke Atsuko asked one of the researchers in the RK Foundation command center.

“It seemed to create a pocket dimension over the park. We think it could have brought a facsimile of the Digital World into the real world.” The researcher replied.

“Where could Cerberusmon have gotten that level of power?” Ousuke wondered to himself, dismissing any of the researcher's comments as he went back up to his floor.

[ask-digimon-hunters]

Digimon Hunters Episode 5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ousuke Atsuko entered the Digimedical Ward’s Black Room, a newly developed room for Digimon like DexDorugamon, Digimon who weren’t infected, but still served an unknown evil force. Ousuke walked up to one of the analysts and asked, “Has it experienced any mental activity since last night?”

The analyst responded, “No. It’s completely mentally dead, not comatose, dead.”

“How is that even possible? It was here all night.” Ousuke wondered.

“Well we did notice a spike in mental activity before its mental activity fully stopped.” The analyst said.

How peculiar, Ousuke thought, there are very few Digimon who could and would completely and utterly destroy a Digimon’s mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adri, Drea, and Nora were training in the simulation room, having Fujamon and Bearmon try to take Ogremon down. “C’mon kids,” Ogremon said, “Where are you?” He heard a scurrying behind him and turned around to find nothing, then Bearmon slammed into him from behind.

“Hah! Gotcha!” Bearmon yelled as he slammed into Ogremon, latching onto his back.

Ogremon spun around, throwing Bearmon off of him, making sure to do as little damage to him as possible. Fujamon then slammed herself into Ogremon’s stomach with the speed of a rocket, knocking him back into a simulated wall. “Alright, alright, you kids win this time.” Ogremon said.

“We kicked your butt old man!” Bearmon said arrogantly.

“Yeah sure, but you need to rely on each other, we can’t keep going off instinct in the battlefield you know.” Ogremon responded, somewhat scolding the younger Digimon.

“Yadda, yadda, teamwork, blah, blah, blah. You’re just upset we beat you.” Bearmon said as they walked out of the simulation room.

“Hey guys, you did really well in there.” Drea says, giving Bearmon and Ogremon a high five.

“Yeah, but I do agree with Ogremon, we do need to work on teamwork instead of blind instinct.” Adri said.

“Well yeah, but we don’t know everything that’ll happen, so instinct is also important, it shouldn’t be blind, but it's probably as important as teamwork is.” Nora chimed in, holding Fujamon.

As this conversation continued, Hallie and her partner, Gaomon walked in, “Hey guys, what’re you up to?”

“We’re just having a bit of a debate on whether or not we should focus more on our teamwork or our instinctual skills.” Nora responded.

“You should work on them equally, teamwork is like a chain, only as strong as its weakest link.” Gaomon chimed in.

Before this conversation could continue, an alarm blared in the background, signalling the attack of a Digimon on the city. They ran into the information room and found that the screen was signalling an attack on Shinsugita Station, and since they were really the only ones here, they had to be the ones to handle it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Adri, Drea, Nora and their partners arrived at the station, they didn’t see what they expected, they saw a man commanding a Digimon to sow chaos and destruction in the train station. “Destroy the train station you stupid Digital monster!” The man yelled at what was a Proganomon.

The Proganomon seemingly cowered at the yells of the man. Continuing its attack on the train station, Bearmon charged in, leaping onto the Proganomon punching its chest with all of his strength. “Wait Bearmon, this feels wrong!” Ogremon shouted to Bearmon.

“What’re you dense, this guy’s clearly the bad guy here, he’s destroying the train station.” Bearmon then continued to punch it in the chest. But Proganomon was not having this and launched 2 missile-like drills out of its back that locked onto Bearmon, hitting him off of Proganomon. Before Proganomon could hit Bearmon again, Ogremon launched dark energy at him in the shape of his head, hitting it in the chest.

While this fight goes on, the girls feel like this is wrong, the Proganomon is clearly being abused by this man so someone needed to get him out of there. “Hey! What the heck do you think you’re doing!” Nora shouted at the man.

“Well since you cannot do anything to stop me, I might as well tell you. I am Daisuke Kaneko, owner of a large construction company, and once this train station is destroyed, the city will be forced to pay me to rebuild it!” Daisuke said with a sort of glee.

“Oh so you’re just a bad guy.” Adri said somewhat quietly.

“I’m no bad guy, I’m just a man looking for profit, and if I have to step on a couple ants, digital or real, then so be it.” Daisuke responded madly.

Fujamon overheard this and instead launched herself at Daisuke, sending him flying away from the Proganomon, letting Nora approach it, not seeing any physical scars on it, so the abuse was most definitely only verbal abuse. She turned to the two Digimon, signalling for them to stop fighting and instead tie the man up and bring him to the proper authorities. As Nora came closer to the Proganomon, she saw that it wouldn’t make eye contact and was trembling, so she just reached her hand out, not touching it. She was letting it decide if it wanted to trust her or not. Proganomon devolved, revealing a shivering Sunarizamon, leaning into her hand. Nora picked up the Digimon, cradling it in her arms, then she turned to her team, “Let’s go back to the base, this was just a bad man abusing a good Digimon.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The kids arrived back at the RK Foundation, where they found the boys and Ousuke Atsuko waiting for them. “Hello girls, how was your mission?” Ousuke asked.

“It was fine, the Digimon wasn’t the problem this time, it was the man who was partnered with him that was the problem.” Nora responded.

“And Nora handled this situation like a boss! Right Adri?” Drea said in response.

“Right!” Adri agreed.

“I’m glad you could take such a leadership role, especially on your fourth day here.” Ousuke said.

“I’m kinda bummed out that we missed it.” Mikey said.

“I’m sure Nick is bummed out for a different reason.” Rusty whispered to Dan.

“I do not care about his crush on Smith, Jinn.” Dan responded.

Digimon Hunters Episode 4.2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ousuke Atsuko looked around over the kids, “Daniel, Harvey, and Adrian you will go to Yamashita Park to deal with the threat there. Nickolas, Michael, and Nora you will go to Nogeyama Zoological Gardens to deal with the threat there. Andrea and Rusty you as well as the Junior Rangers will be on standby in case the other Ops get knocked out.”

Nick, Mikey, and Nora arrived at the front of Nogeyama Zoological Gardens, where they saw a beast-like Digimon wrapped in blue bandages over most of its body. It has two large legs and two arms, each of which has three long, red claws, as well as a large, saurian tail. The fur around the base of its neck is blue while the fur on its back and the back of its head is black. It has two black, pointed ears with blue tips and two large wings with large screws at the wrist joint. It has spiked metal braces on its arms, legs, and tail with screws at the base of the tail and wires emerging from the tip while its face is covered by a metal mask with a grill in the front. On its brow is a diamond-shaped purple-blue gem, indicated to be an old-style interface. It felt somewhat familiar to Dorumon, and it gave Nick a familiar sense of dread and unease. “Nick! Are you ok?” Mikey called towards his teammate.

“Yea.. yeah, I’m fine,” Nick responded, shaking his head as if trying to throw out the uneasy sensation from his head, then he turned to his partner, “are you good fighting this thing?”

Dorumon nodded, preparing to fire an iron sphere out of its mouth at the Dark Digimon, however it fired its own iron sphere at Dorumon. The spheres collided midair, but the Dark Digimon’s iron sphere was much stronger and crushed Dorumon’s sphere. However before the sphere could hit Dorumon, Leomon kicked it away into a nearby tree and gave Dorumon a thumbs up. Fujamon jumped into the nearby water and launched a wave of water at the Dark Digimon, but it dodged and bit at Fujamon, sending it out of the water. Leomon watched this happen and sent a punch towards it, the punch sending out orange energy in the shape of its head towards the Dark Digimon, landing the first hit of the fight onto the Dark Digimon. Leomon leaps forward, hitting it with a powerful heel attack. Dorumon, seeing an opening attack with a swift blow like that of a powerful beast. 

The Dark Digimon screamed, slamming into Leomon with that of a similar yet darker powerful beast. Leomon grabbed onto its neck, trying to slam it back into the ground, but it roared and flung Leomon away, launching an iron ball into him. Fujamon then flew towards it with the speed of a rocket, but the Dark Digimon barely noticed its attack in its rage against Leomon. The Dark Digimon bit into Leomon’s shoulder, causing him to pass out from the pain. Dorumon watched in terror and saw Leomon pass out, it couldn’t do anything the Dark Digimon was so strong. Then something inside it snapped and…

Digivolution!!!!

Dorugamon stood up, gathering large amounts of energy and once it had enough energy it fired an even larger iron sphere at the Dark Digimon, hitting it square in its torso. “Woah, the Dark Digimon looks like Dorugamon.” Nick whispered to himself. The Dark Digimon tried to impale Dorugamon with its metal claws, but Dorugamon rammed himself into it, sending it flying backwards into a tree. The Dark Digimon fired an iron sphere at Dorugamon, hitting him in the head and knocking him backwards, but before the Dark Digimon could do anything else, Fujamon slammed herself into the Dark Digimon’s back with the speed of a rocket. This set Dorugamon up for an opportunity attack, slamming into the Dark Digimon with the force of a much larger much more powerful beast.

The Dark Digimon looked up at the two Digimon and hissed out, “You are no match for my mazzter…”

“Yeah yeah yeah, now do the thing and devolve already.” Fujamon said impatiently.

The Dark Digimon laughed in her face, “I am no infected, I work for my mazzter directly.”

Nora heard this and took out her phone, texting Ousuke saying, “What do we do with the Digimon if it doesn’t devolve?”

After a while, Ousuke texted back, “Capture it, we will take care of it here.”

Nora put her phone away and said, “Nick, is your Dorugamon able to knock it out?”

Nick thought about this and then said, “Most likely,” then he shouted towards Dorugamon asking, “Are you able to knock it out?”

Dorugamon shouted back, “One step ahead of you bud.”

Mikey ran over to where Leomon was and shook him awake, “Hey bud, you passed out on us for a sec.”

“Sorry Mike, won’t happen again,” Leomon half laughed then looked up at the knocked out Digimon, “I can carry it, and if it wakes up before we get there, I’ll get some revenge.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ousuke Atsuko entered the -13th Floor, the most secret floor in all of the RK Foundations main building where there were 6 projectors, projecting all but three of the other 9 founders. “Ladies and gentlemen, I called this meeting to discuss, what should we do with him?” Ousuke asked the others, gesturing towards the Dark Digimon that all the people in this room knew as DexDorugamon.

The other founders included Lenora Rayne, based in the UK, Arshad Sammara, based in the Middle East, Ulysses Argyris, based in Greece, Daní Felipe, based in Mexico, Dalton Leighton, based in Australia, Temüülen Ganzorig, based in Mongolia. Lenora said, “Don’t you have cells in your building?”

Ousuke heard that and said, “I did not think this type of situation would ever happen.”

“That is your fault old friend.” Daní spoke.

“You could have him sent here, my Operatives can get more info out of him then yours can.” Ulysses said, with his hand on his chin.

“No, we will not resort to torture, even if it works for him.” Ousuke responded to Daní.

“It’s surprising you said that Atsuko, he murdered your master.” Dalton spoke out.

“Temüülen, what is your opinion on the matter?” Lenora asked.

“I agree with Ousuke, we can send it to our friends in the Digital World, they probably have more experience in this category then we do.” Temüülen said.

“My thoughts exactly.” Ousuke responded.

“If they were your thoughts, then you should’ve said it.” Daní joked.

“I’ll have my scientists and couriers on it, Atsuko out.” Ousuke said as he resigned from the meeting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ominous being chuckled to itself, psychically spoke to its slave, “Oh my poor servant, you failed to stop them. How disappointed I am in you.”

DexDorugamon psychically begged its master, “No! Please, I’ll do better next time!”

The ominous being responded cackling, “There will be no next time for you, there are no second chances!”

The ominous being used its massive amounts of power to absorb DexDorugamon’s data, leaving its body as an empty shell. 

[ask-digimon-hunters]

Digimon Hunters Episode 4.1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ousuke Atsuko entered one of the research rooms on the -10th floor, and said “What is it you called me for?”

The researcher said, “I’m going to cut straight to the chase. We believe that the virus has four stages: basic coughing, anger and dark digivolution, code degradation, and finally death.

“Truly despicable.” Ousuke said, finishing his thoughts in his head, who would come up with such a disgusting thing.

“Due to the goodness of the Junior Operatives you hired, we’ve never seen stage 3, so the latter stages are just hypotheses.” The researcher said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was 7:00 in the morning at the RK Foundation where we find Jay and Hallie awaiting an important event today. The third Junior Ranger arrived today, his name was Caine Leroy, he was partnered with a Machinedramon, and Ousuke said that he was bringing Caine and the final two Junior Operatives with him, the other Junior Ops didn’t come in until 9. “How’re you doing Jay?” Hallie asked her friend.

“I’m doing fine, I wish we could find Ann though.” He responded.

“Yeah, you two were close.” Hallie said, stretching.

Jay laughed and lightly pushed her shoulder, “Oh we were close Hal? You dated her.”

Hallie blushed, “Yeah, you’ve got me there.”

As this conversation finished, Ousuke and the other three entered the rooms. Caine was a tall man with tan skin and olive brown hair. He was wearing a royal blue hoodie. “Rangers, this is Caine, please introduce yourselves.” Ousuke said, gesturing towards the two Junior Rangers.

“I’m Harriet Willson, but you can call me Hallie.” Hallie said, shaking his hand.

Jay crossed his arms and said, “Jason Barret, call me Jay.”

Ousuke cleared his throat and said, “In other news these are the final two Junior Ops you three will be managing.”

One of the two Junior Ops was a girl in aquatic blue with brownish skin reached, and that was partnered with a Fujamon out her hand and said, “I’m Nora Cross, I don’t have a cool nickname, I’m just Nora.”

The other Junior Op, a shortish boy with black hair and that was partnered with a Kakamon shaked Jay’s hand and said, “I’m Harvey Deckery, but you guys can call me Harv.”

“Now that you’re all introduced, I was hoping that you guys could start training with the Junior Ops and maybe with your new partner.” Ousuke finished talking as Jay and the two Junior Ops started walking away.

“Yeah old man, we know what we’re doing.” Harv said to Ousuke, the Kakamon blowing raspberries at him.

“Do you want to go work on some other projects?” Hallie asked Caine.

“Sure, maybe you could show me the ropes, also who is your partner.” Caine responded, their conversation trailing off as they walked into another room, leaving Ousuke Atsuko alone for a brief moment until the elevator dinged and Nick, Dan, Adri, Drea, Mikey, and Rusty stepped out with their digimon partners.

“Why is it so empty in here?” Nick said.

“Ah hello children, the other two Junior Ops and the new Junior Ranger just arrived. You can go to the spectators room to watch Jason train the other two, or you can introduce yourselves to the new Ranger.” Ousuke said to the kids.

Drea leaned over to her friend Adri and whispered, “We were getting a new Junior Ranger?”

“Shoot I don’t know.” Adri responded.

“I am going to go watch the other two operatives.” Daniel said.

“Ok that sounds interesting, I’ll join you Daniel.” Rusty said.

Mikey walked over to Ousuke and asked him, “How is Kunemon doing?”

“The little digimon is doing well, its recovery went smoothly.” Ousuke responded to the young boy's question.

“Oh thank the gods.” Mikey said, a weight lifted off of his shoulders.

Adri and Drea left the room to go and see what the new Junior Ranger was like. Nick went to go watch the training between Jay and the other two new Junior Ops. Once Jay and the other two finished training, they walked out into the spectators room to find Nick, Rusty and Dan watching them train. “Hey guys, when did you get here?” Jay asked.

“Like an hour ago.” Rusty said.

“Oh, how do y’all think the new kids did?” Jay asked.

“They did well, maybe have them go with me or Carter.” Dan said.

“I’m Harvey, you can call me Harv.” Harv interrupted.

“I see you have a Kakamon.” Dan took note.

“Since we’re doing introductions now, I’m Nora.” Nora said.

“Oh you have a Fujamon, that’s cool.” Nick said.

As this conversation continued, an alarm blared and interrupted them. The whole group went into the information room and saw that there wasn’t one alarm, there were two alarms, one was in Yamashita Park and the other in Nogeyama Zoological Gardens. Ousuke looked around over the kids, “Daniel, Harvey, and Adrian you will go to Yamashita Park to deal with the threat there. Nickolas, Michael, and Nora you will go to Nogeyama Zoological Gardens to deal with the threat there. Andrea and Rusty you as well as the Junior Rangers will be on standby in case the other Ops get knocked out.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dan, Harv, and Adri arrived in Yamashita Parks to find a Grademon Vice attacking the park, Kakamon, Ogremon, and Ryudamon immediately leapt into action. Ryudamon launches an iron blade into its shoulder, being met with a slash of the godlike sword, sending Ryudamon flying into a tree. “Heh! I learned this trick from that Leomon guy.” Ogremon says as he fires dark energy from his fists, that was in the shape of his head, into Grademon Vice’s chest, sending him stumbling backwards.

Ryudamon gets back up and launches several explosions into Grademon Vice’s back, then Kakamon leaps up and ignites his fists, hitting Grademon Vice’s chest with a series of rapid punches. “Nyeh! Take that scum!” Kakamon yells at the Gradmon Vice. Grademon Vice yells, slashing Kakamon away, sending him into a tree, very injured.

“You’re gonna pay for that!” Ogtemon yelled, trying to punch the Grademon in its head, but it caught his fist and sent him flying into the fence that separates the park from the ocean. Ryudamon sees that and his eyes go red, then after a while something inside him snaps and…

Digivolution!!!!

Ginryumon flew at Grademon Vice, shooting sharp spears into Grademon Vice’s armor. As Ginryumon was fighting Grademon Vice, Ogremon shook himself awake, thinking to himself, c’mon man. Get up, don’t let that kid get all the credit for this. Ogremon got up and slammed into Grademon Vice. Grademon Vice tried to slash at Ogremon, but Ginryumon charged towards it, parrying its attack, and sending it flying backwards. “Good job kid, well I mean man now, but I’m still older.” Ogremon said, raising his hand up for a fist bump, then realizing Ginryumon only has four legs, he put his hands down.

However that wasn’t the last of Grademon Vice they would see, because it jumped out at them slashing downward at them, they jumped to the side narrowly avoiding the blow. “Ogremon, you thinking what I’m thinking?” Ginryumon yelled toward Ogremon.

“Only if you’re really dumb!” Ogremon yelled back.

Both of the Champion level Digimon charged towards Grademon Vice, hitting him from both sides. Finally knocking the digimon out. After they made sure it was steadily knocked out, Ogremon ran towards Kakamon, saying “You ok kid?” 

“Yeah, did you get him for me?” Kakamon coughed out.

“Yeah, we got him for ya kid.” Ogremon said, picking up the Kakamon and handing him to Harv.

Digimon Hunters Episode 3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ousuke Atsuko went into the Digimedical Ward, what they codenamed the -10th floor where Digimon were treated for this new virus. Some scientists have codenamed the virus the Wrath X Virus, because it makes Digimon extremely wrathful and they’re treated on the -10th floor. “Mr. Atsuko! Come quick!” One of the scientists shouted for Ousuke.

Ousuke walked over and said, “What is it?”

“This Lopmon has a memory before the Wrath X Virus infected it.” The scientist said with a mix of glee and fear.

“Well what is it?” Ousuke asked impatiently.

“Lopmon said it remembered a figure in purple armor, but not much else.” The scientist spoke.

Ousuke thought on this for a while, but there were many Digimon who dressed in purple armor. And man could build a virus that only affects Digimon, and causes hallucinations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Andrea Fitzgerald, also known as Drea, waited in Tokyo Haneda Airport, her mother left for the housing that the new employer offered, but Drea was offered a position in the RK Foundation as a Junior Operative, but she had to wait for another Junior Op, who she didn’t remember the name of. About 20 minutes or so passed when a boy around her age with blonde hair, brownish eyes, and in an orange hoodie ran up to her, trailed by a Leomon. “Are you Andrea Fitzgerald?” The boy asked.

“Yeah, are you the other Junior Op?” Drea asked in return.

“Yeah, I’m Michael Kane, but you can call me Mikey.”

“Call me Drea. Do you know when the guy is gonna arrive?”

“Mr. Ousuke Atsuko should be arriving any moment now.” As soon as the boy said that, Ousuke Atsuko wandered into the airport and signalled for them to go to him. Drea and Mikey walked over and Ousuke said, “Hello, Miss Fitzgerald, you mother had your friend Bearmon dropped off this morning, he is getting along well with the other Ops and the Rangers.”

“Well that’s a good thing, did he try to fight any of them?” She sounded a little concerned when she said that.

Ousuke paused for a second. “Yes, yes he did. I think he tried to fight Ogremon almost immediately. Anyways, if you would step into the car I have brought with myself, I will take you to the RK Foundation slash base of the Junior Operatives.”

About an hour or so later, we zoom into the 13th floor of the RK Foundation where Nick, Dan, Adri, and Rusty are in the training room, being spectated by Jay and Hallie in the spectators room, Hallie looked over to Jay, “Are you sure it was such a good idea to have them go against Zubamon?”

“Hallie, if they cannot handle Zuba’s Ultimate form, with 3 rookie digimon and 1 champion, then the field will be the toughest experience for them.” Jay responded, crossing his arms and looking out into the training room.

The simulated environment shuts down and the kids step out of the training room with Duramon following them, devolving back into Zubamon and saying, “The Digikids, and Ogremon, did well, Ogremon and Dorumon work great together, but the human kids, especially Daniel needs to work on his teamwork with the others.”

As Zubamon finished talking, Ousuke, Drea, and Mikey entered the room. Drea’s eyes lit up, “Adri!” She ran forward and gave the redheaded girl a hug, “You work here too?”

“Yea! We saw your Bearmon earlier, he bothered the heck out of Ogg when he tried to fight him,” She then whispered, “It was kind of funny.”

Ousuke Atsuko cleared his throat and spoke, “I have an announcement to make, we are restructuring how smaller missions work, instead of sending all of the Junior Ops on one mission, we’ll send two or three of you at a time, to make sure you all have equal experience in the field, for now at least.”

“What about for larger missions, like an Ultimate level?” Mikey asked before Dan could.

“Then we will send more of you to make sure you have the best chance of victory without too much spotlight on us, and it’s less collateral damage.” Ousuke responded.

“And also less paperwork.” Jay added.

As they finished their conversation, an alarm started blaring, signalling the arrival of a new Infected Digimon in the city. This time in Sankeien Garden, Ousuke looked at the cast and said, “Andrea, Daniel, and Michael. You are going to be dispatched.”

Bearmon, who was previously napping on one of the chairs perked up at the sound of that and said, “Let’s go! We’re gonna go fight!”

Ousuke smiled and said, “A wonderful spirit to have in situations like this, but try to dial it down a little.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They arrived in Sankeien Garden where the group saw Snimon attacking the garden, and as soon as they saw it, it pinpointed their location with its antenna, and it launched two pink scythes at the group, Dan, Drea, and Mikey all jumped out of the way, but Leomon simply stood and tanked the attack, leaving only a scratch on its body. “Heck yeah, let’s go!” Bearmon yelled, jumping into battle, driving his fist into Snimon’s chest with all of his strength. 

Snimon stumbled back, screeching at Bearmon, preparing to attack by slamming his whole body into Bearmon, but before it could, Leomon threw Ryudamon at Snimon, Ryudamon firing an iron blade into Snimon as he flew over. Then Leomon punched, sending an aura of itself into Snimon, causing it to stumble backwards. Snimon launches itself into Leomon, sending him flying back into a tree, but before Snimon could slash, Bearmon curled up and charged into its back, sending it flying forward. Seeing an opportunity, Ryudamon launches several explosions at Snimon, causing it to stumble and fall into the water. The group saw bubbles come up and then they started slowing down, Mikey held his breath, before jumping into the water. He swam down and didn’t see the giant Snimon he jumped in after, and instead saw a smaller Kunemon passed out sinking into the depths of the pond. He reached out for it, cradling it in his arms as he swam back up. When he reached the surface he released his breath as Leomon pulled him back onto land Mikey coughed out, “Thanks Leo.”

Leomon then looked at his partner and said, “No problem Mike.”

Dan looked surprised and said, “That was commendable Kane”

“It’s nothing, if you’re good in the universe, the universe is good to you.” Mikey replied, not noticing the hints of sarcasm or shock in Dan’s voice.

“What do we do after these functions?” Drea asked.

Dan looked at her a little confused, “We get back into the car and leave.”

Drea paused for a second, “Yeah, I suppose that’s a little obvious now that I think of it.”

“It’s ok pal, we all have slip ups, like this little buggun here.” Mikey said, shifting the Kunemon to his other arm to pat Drea on the shoulder.

As the rest of the group got into the car, Leomon fell to his knees coughing, with only Mikey noticing, “You good Leo?”

“Yeah, I’m fine, it’s just digi-allergies, a much different climate than Canada.” Leomon responded, getting into the vehicle, his head hitting the top of the car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ousuke Atsuko was in his office, awaiting a phone call from the Digimedical Ward about the Kunemon. His office phone rang, he picked up saying, “You’ve reached Ousuke Atsuko, speak now.” 

“Mr. Atsuko, about the Kunemon, we’ve detected no forms of the Virus we can, however the boy who brought it in has not left its side.” The scientist said to him.

“That is peculiar in this line of work, but if you brought a sick animal into the vet’s office, you wouldn’t want to leave it either.” Ousuke responded.

“We’ve already alerted the boy's father, but he didn’t seem to be surprised.”

“Yes, for a good kid like Michael Kane, I doubt this would be surprising to his parents.” Ousuke hung up the phone, it was a waste of time for him, it didn’t have anything to do with the virus. A beep went off in the distance, it was a secret messaging service, Lenora, one of the other 10 founders would be in Japan to meet this new group of Junior Ops.

Digimon Hunters Episode 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ousuke Atsuko walked into a room full of scientists that were analyzing the once Saberdramon in its hospital-like bed. Ousuke kneeled down next to the Biyomon and said, “My friend, do you remember anything from when you were in your more monstrous state?”

“Nhee, sorry boss, but I don’t, say. All I remember is being really mad at something.” The Biyomon said.

Ousuke rubbed his temple, this was not a coincidence. Maybe something to do with the Lost Rangers, no they wouldn’t concoct something like this. They weren’t allies, but they weren’t evil either. Ousuke swore on his honor as one of the last 12 founders of the RK Foundation, he would find and stop whoever was doing this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A car pulled up to the front entrance of the RK Foundation where we find young Adrian Smith and Junichiro Sachikawa stepped out of the black panel van that brought them from the airport. This is where they find Ousuke Atsuko awaiting them. When he saw they arrived safely he had a large bright smile on his face and said, “Ah Adri and Rusty! I take it your flights were uneventful and smooth?”

Before Adri could respond, the Ogremon she was traveling with said, “Yeah, pretty uneventful, though Raven complained a lot.”

“I agree with Ogremon. Mom can be a lot.” Adri responded.

“My flight was fine, short, but fine.” Rusty said.

“Wonderful! Now if you’ll follow me I can introduce you to the other two Junior Ops and the Junior Rangers.” Ousuke said, leading them into the building.

“This is a giant building.” Adri said in amazement.

“Yeah Adri, they typically are big in cities.” Ogremon teased her.

The group entered the elevator and went up to the 13th floor, where the Junior Ops and Junior Rangers are based. When they arrived, they found Nick and Jason fresh out of the training room, with Jay laughing, “Ha! You did so much better than Dan, I’m so rubbing this in Hall's face.”

Ousuke heard this, smiled briefly, and said, “Now, now Jason, the training is not a competition.”

“Yeah, yeah. Sorry man,” Jay said, then leaning down to Nick’s ear, “But you did do better.”

“Besides that Jason, these are your new Ops, so it’d be proper to introduce yourself.” Ousuke said, shifting the subject.

“Right. Hello kids, I’m Jay, your primary trainer unless you want a more info based mission then it’s the other Junior Ranger named Hallie’s job,” Jay said to the kids, then to Nick, “Alright bud, hit the showers, good job today.”

“Shouldn’t I introduce myself first?” Nick asked.

“Really, right off a training shesh? C’mon kid, you’re killing me. Go take a shower.” Jay responded.

Nick exited for the showers, his gaze lingering on Adrian. Jason noted this. Then Ousuke cleared his throat and said, “Kids introduce yourselves to Jason here.”

Rusty introduced himself first, “I’m Junichiro, but most people call me Rusty or Jun, and my partner is Dracomon.”

Then Adrian followed, “I’m Adrian, but you may call me Adri, I’m partnered with Ogremon.”

Ogremon then said, “Darn right you are!”

“Now that that is done, we can introduce you to the others, who are in the uh…” Ousuke paused and thought for a moment, “Jason, where are the others?”

“Oh, Dan and Hallie are in the lounge. I’m gonna wait out here and talk to Zubamon for a bit.” Jason said.

“Alright, well let's go kids.” Ousuke gestured for the two kids to follow him into the lounge, where they found Hallie looking over Dan’s shoulder into a computer screen. Ousuke cleared his throat and Dan jumped. “Hey!” He said loudly.

“Sorry, we just had new arrivals, they've already met the others so I need to introduce them to you.” Ousuke said, keeping up his usual upbeat poise.

“Ah,” Hallie said, "I'm Harriet, but you can call me Hallie.”

“Oh, we already knew that, the other guy mentioned you.” Adri said as politely as she could.

“Gosh darn it Jay.” Hallie whispered.

“I’m Daniel.” Dan said coldly.

“Well I’m Adrian, but you may call me Adri.” Adri said.

“Are you the one partnered with the Ogremon?” Dan asked.

“Yep!”

“Well you should tell him to shower more, he smells awful.” Dan said rudely in response, Adri gave him the stink eye.

“Daniel, they are your teammates, I do have to ask you to be nice.” Ousukle said.

“Well, anyway, I’m Junichiro, but you may call me Jun or Rusty.” Rusty said.

Right when they were getting acquainted, Nick walked in, his hair still a little wet from the shower, “Oh, hi.” Nick said to the others as he sat on the couch in the background.

“Hello Nick, we were just finishing the introductions from the newcomers,” Ousuke said as Jason walked into the room and stood next to Hallie, then he took out a parcel from his coat pocket, “Speaking of the newcomers, I did have your digivices ready for you.”

Adri took the digivice on the left, which then had a pixelated Ogremon on the screen with flashing text that read “PARTNER BONDED”, Rusty followed grabbing the right, bonding to his Dracomon. Once they were bonded an alarm blared in the background, signaling the attack of a digimon in the city. “Ah this is a perfect team mission, Hallie and Jason you may stay, but you four go to the vehicles in the garage level.” Ousuke said to his Junior Rangers and Junior Ops.

Once they arrived in the part of the city where the digimon, revealed to be a Wendigomon with darker skin and red eyes, was attacking, Ogremon quickly leapt into action, whacking the Wendigomon with his club. This angered Wendigomon immensely, and it took both of its massive hands and clapped them around Ogremon, that slam could’ve been enough to crush rocks, but thankfully Ogremon had a thick skull, so he was down but not out. Dorumon rushed in, launching small blasts from his mouth. They weren’t doing much, but they were bothering Wendigomon and that was enough for him. Wendigomon tried to swipe at Dorumon, but Ryudamon was using its explosions to create smoke fields that hid Dorumon, then Dracomon spun its whole body at high speeds, slamming his tail into Wendigomon.

The Wendigomon was furious, and that wasn’t going to get any better as Ogremon charged in, “Didn’t think you could get rid of me that easily huh?” He yelled, punching the Wendigomon in the mouth.

Wendigomon stumbled backwards, then spun at a high speed, knocking back Dorumon and Dracomon, however an iron blade flew in and hit it in the chest, causing it to stumble backwards. Then Dracomon and Dorumon charged in together, Dorumon with the force of a wild beast, but Dracomon stopped, his horns glowing firing a beam from its mouth at the same time that Dorumon charged into Wendigomon. Wendigomon stumbled weakly, not having much left in it, and Ogremon landed the final blow on it, punching it backwards into a wall, knocking it out. “Alright, good job baby digis.” He said, wiping sweat off of his brow.

“What tired already gramps?” Dorumon asked, laughing at him.

“Gramps?! I’m not much older than you!” He yelled back.

“Yeah, not much then 10,000 years older.” Dracomon said.

“Gods, kids these days.” Ogremon whispered.

We cut to the kids in this, where Dan begrudgingly said, “You guys didn’t do too bad today.”

Adri, not noticing the slight surprise in his voice said, “Thanks! You didn’t do bad yourself. Also Nick and Dan, your Dorumon and Ryudamon are smart, using the explosions to hide.”

“O-oh, thanks.” Nick said, a small blush on his face.

“Indeed, thank you Smith.” Dan said.

“Shouldn’t the credit go to our digimon?” Rusty asked.

“Well we trained them.” Adri said, being the first to enter one of the vehicles back to the RK Foundation, followed by Nick, Dan, Rusty, then the Digimon in that order.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a late night on the 12th floor of the RK Foundation where we find Jay. We find that Ousuke just walked into the room and asked, “Jason, a word?”

“Yeah, sure, what’s up man?” Jay asked, sitting on his bed.

“What do you think of this group of Ops?”

“I think they’re good kids. They’ll make fantastic Rangers when I get promoted.” He responded in his typical non serious manner.

“Yes, surely. I do have to mention that there are four more coming, two tomorrow and two the day after.”

“Eight kids? Thought you only dealt in threes.”

“That was the past Jason, we’re in a new age now.”

“Suppose we are.”

“This was pleasant, I’ll see you later Jason.”

“Yeah, see you later man.”

As Ousuke left the room, Hallie entered, she then watched Ousuke leave and said, “What was that about?”

“Just going to your definitely not adopted kid for a conversation.” Jason said, finally dropping the act he usually always has up.

“Heh, well at least he’s trying.”

“Do you know when Ann’s replacement is arriving?”

“Two days, why you excited to be a group of three again?” She teased.

“Sure, that’s a way to describe it.”

Digimon Hunters Ep. 1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s a quiet morning in the city of Yokohama, we zoom in to find one 14 year old Nick Carter getting up for the morning. His parents, Nikki and Philip Carter were watching the news in the living room. Nick does his daily chores, getting dressed, brushing his teeth, eating breakfast, and getting the mail. Where he finds two letters, one addressed to himself and the other addressed to his parents. The letter addressed to him was from one Ousuke Atsuko and it read;

Hello, young Mr. Carter,

My name is Ousuke Atsuko, and I lead the RK Foundation where your parents work. We have noticed how you took a Dorumon in after nursing him back to health and wanted to offer you a job at the RK Foundation. We await your response, though I think you’re going to accept. We have assigned you a group of other Junior Operatives if you and them so accept, but you won’t meet them until we’ve flown them and their guardians in.

Thanks for considering my offer,

Ousuke Atsuko.

Nick read the letter multiple times, in shock that the head of the RK Foundation would notice him of all people. “Mom! Dad!” Nick called out to his parents, in which they came rushing from the living room.

“Yeah Nick what's up? Also quiet down, your sisters are still sleeping.” Philip told Nick.

“Well I got this letter from the RK Foundation, and I thought you might want to see it.” Nick replied.

Nikki took the letter and read it quickly, then she looked up, handed the letter to her husband, and smiled brightly at her son, “Hon, this is great news!”

After Philip finished reading the letter, he smiled in the exact same way as his wife, “I can take you there when I leave for work today.”

“Ok Dad, thank you. But also there was another letter addressed to you and mom.”

“Yes Nick, your father and I noticed, I’ll read it after you and your father leave.”

About an hour later, Philip and his son, as well as Dorumon, left for the RK Foundation, which was close by to their house. The RK Foundation did house them when they offered Philip and Nikki a job at the RK Foundation, Philip and Nikki knew about Digimon before the RK Foundation and quickly accepted their offer and moved them and their family to Yokohama, Japan. The RK Foundation was located in a giant building, looked to be 30 stories tall, not including any underground layers. The inside looked just as fancy, with ornate carpeting, Sci-Fi computers, and extremely comfortable waiting rooms. Philip went to the woman at the front desk on the first floor and said to her, “Hello ma’am me and my son have a meeting with Mr. Atsuko at around this time today.”

The woman looked up and smiled at him, “Ah yes, Nickolaus Carter I presume? He’s waiting for you on the 13th floor, and Mr. Carter, you may head home for the day. Mr. Atsuko sends congratulations on having another daughter recently.”

Philip smiled and thanked her. He then escorted his son to the elevator where he hugged him and said, “I hope you have a great day Nick, and if you don’t we’ll get ice cream after,”

“Thanks dad.” Nick said, waving goodbye to his father.

Nick and Dorumon went into the elevator, where they pressed the 13th button. The elevator went up to the 10th floor where it stopped and three people and a Ryudamon got on, 2 of them looked roughly to be Nick’s parents' age, and the last who Nick presumed was their child with their Digimon. They then rode with Nick to the 13th floor where they all got off. Nick saw a man with orange and blue eyes in a white and red suit waiting for them. “Ah! I presume you’re Nickolas Carter and you’re Daniel Corinth. I’m Ousuke Atsuko, call me whatever you’d like. I’m here to introduce you both to the world of Digimon. But first,” Ousuke looked up at Daniel’s parents, “Kasumi and Jin, you may go home, your presence is unnecessary, and if you’re concerned for your child's safety, I guarantee that I can protect him.”

Daniel’s parents looked at Ousuke for a second and said, “Thank you for this opportunity, Mr. Atsuko.” And then they left, leaving the two kids alone with Ousuke.

“No need to be shy, feel free to introduce yourself to each other.” Ousuke said to the two kids.

Nick turned to Daniel and stuck out his hand for a handshake, “Hi! I’m Nick.”

Daniel looked out at the hand stuck out and slapped it away, “I’m Daniel.”

“Well that was a little rude Mr. Corinth, you are after all my first two Junior Ops, so I’d suggest you two be kind to each other,” Ousuke then made a signal with his hands and gestured in two people, an older boy and an older girl, “This is Jason Barret and Harriet Willson, they are your Junior Rangers, which are sorta like supervisors.”

The boy stuck out his hand, “Just call me Jay, I’ll be training you two for the foreseeable future.”

Nick shook his hand, and Daniel simply said, “If you’re our trainer, then what’s her job?”

“I am Harriet, friends call me Hallie, and I give you intel.” She said to the rude kid in front of her.

“Geez Hall be nicer to the kid, after all he’s a lot like you were.” Jay teased her.

“While this conversation has been pleasant for the least, I do have more to show them Jason, now if you two boys,” Ousuke pointed at Nick and Daniel, “wouldn’t mind following me, I’ll give you your digivices and then we’ll see if there’s an assignment for you two to go on to gauge your abilities.”

The boys followed Ousuke into a close room and looked at a small table holding two GameBoy esk objects, “These,” Ousuke gestured towards the devices, “are digivices, they can bond you to Digimon and can scan them for information. Go on, Daniel, yours is the one on the left, and Nick, yours is on the right.”

Daniel grabbed his digivice, and a pixelated Ryudamon appeared on the screen, with flashing text, “PARTNER BONDED”. Then Nick grabbed his digivice where its screen went red and said, “SCAN COMPLETE,” which was then followed by a pixelated Dorumon, with flashing text, “PARTNER BONDED”.

“How interesting,” Ousuke murmured to himself, “Nickolaus, may I see your digivice?”

“Yeah sure.” Nick handed the man his digivice.

“Ah, just a glitch.” Ousuke said before handing the digivice back to Nick.

“And our assignment?” Daniel said impatiently.

“Patience my friend,” Ousuke received a ding on his watch, “however we did just receive notice of a Digimon downtown.”

“Finally.” Daniel said, going into the elevator.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nick, Daniel, Dorumon, and Ryudamon arrived downtown, where they saw a wild Saberdramon with red eyes attacking people. “Looks to be a Saberdramon, though I don’t know why it has red eyes.”

“Dorumon, do you think you can handle this?” Nick asked his Digimon partner.

“Last time I fought a Champion level it didn’t necessarily go well for me.” The Digimon responded.

“Well then,” Ryudamon spoke up, “It’s a good thing we’re here, right Danny?”

“Indeed, Ryudamon, attack it.”

Ryudamon leaped towards Saberdramon, taking it to the ground and hitting it with several explosions. Though this only seemed to make the Saberdramon even angrier, in which it grabbed Ryudamon and flew into the sky. “Dorumon!” Nick yelled.

“On it boss!” Dorumon responded, in which Dorumon then launched a metal sphere into the Saberdramon. It dropped Ryudamon in response and fired meteor-like feathers towards Doruon, who barely dodged them. It screeched, which caused Dorumon’s pupils to dilate in confusion and Dorumon fired a small beam of energy in response, barely nicking the Saberdramon’s wing.

Ryudamon saw this opportunity and took it, jumping on the Saberdramon and stabbing the other wing via launching a metal blade from his mouth. The Saberdramon tried to fly into the air again, but it couldn’t, just landing hard on the ground. But it wasn’t down for the count yet, its feathers glowed purple and hit Ryudamon, knocking him back. Dorumon charged at Saberdramon and barely hit it, then teaming up with Ryudamon who made small explosions under Dorumon's feet, he charged into Saberdramon, knocking it down, it tried to screech again, but it didn't work.

“That’s not gonna work a second time pal.” Dorumon said to the Saberdramon before headbutting it.

It flew backwards into a wall where it landed and passed out from exhaustion. “You did… acceptable for our first mission Carter.” Daniel said to Nick.

“I mean, if I did ‘acceptable’ then so did you because we did equal work in this.” Nick responded.

Daniel harumphed and walked back towards the escort van with Ryudamon. Nick turned back towards Dorumon, “Was the fighting really that necessary?”

“It was either that or people would’ve gotten hurt Nick, we did good, I think it barely felt it,” Dorumon replied to Nick before hopping towards the van, “c’mon, they’re gonna leave us if we don’t catch up!”

“I’m coming!” Nick ran towards the van.

Ousuke Atsuko walked into his office, and looked into the mirror. He sighed and looked away. His plan was working out perfectly, but not fast enough. The virus was already leaking into the world, and he couldn’t do anything to stop it. At least, not yet. These thoughts were silenced by something else, the ‘malfunctioning’ digivice, what did it scan and why? Was it… No, that’s impossible.

His phone rang, startling him, “This is Ousuke Atsuko, what did you need?”

The voice on the other line spoke, “Hi Mr. Atsuko, we just wanted to tell you that two of the Junior Ops just flew in, Adrian Smith and Junichiro Sachikawa.”

“Good, send the letters to them immediately. Also keep an eye on Nickolas.” Ousuke responded, pouring himself a drink, then hanging up the phone. He walked to the window overlooking the city, “Ah, what's the point, this stuff doesn’t work on me, and it tastes horrible.”
