Tamers West
:Epilogue.
Yamaki stood almost perfectly still in the operations room at Hypnos, a permanent frown on his face. Dozens of conflicting emotions ran rampant in his mind as a result of today's events.
On the one hand Hypnos would soon be given more authority and it's jurisdiction would include all of southeast Asia including China and South Korea.
On the other hand, besides the greater responsibility of having to deal with digital threats beyond Japan, they had discovered that then the D-Reaper had left it had left weak points in the barrier that separated the real world from the digital world. What that meant was that digimon would now be able to enter the real world more easily and in more places around the world.
He resisted the urge to sigh as his subordinated, suspended high above him scanned the digital world for any unusual activity.
There had been an unusually large amount of data moving into one of the quadrants of the digital world. The same quadrant controlled by the Digimon Sovereign that the tamers had fought, and the one who had sent the Devas to the real world. These facts were making the United Nations and it's members very nervous.
'And rightly so', Yamaki thought. He put his hand in his right pocket checking to make sure his silver lighter was still there, a nervous habit.
"Scan complete sir, data compiled."
Yamaki removed his hand and focused himself, "Very good Riley, report."
"A two percent increase in data in the beta quadrant since yesterday, twelve hours ago."
Yamaki's brows furrowed deeper, two percent didn't sound like a lot until you saw how much data there was in total. He guessed it might be the equivalent of a dozen champion level digimon joining the rest already assembled.
The doors opened and everyone in the room turned to see whom had entered.
Yamaki turned to meet the older man, "Dolphin", he greeted.
Rob McCoy stopped in front of him and returned the greeting, "Yamaki."
Ymaki again resisted the urge to sigh, this was the moment he had been dreading all afternoon. "I heard you were leaving."
Dolphin's face now had a frown of it's own. "It's noting personal Yamaki, Japan's nice but we want to be a little closer to family."
Yamaki nodded, "I know it's nothing personal Dolphin, I just needed to hear it from you."
Dolphin's eyes narrowed slightly, "I see."
Yamaki clenched his jaw, he knew dolphin was to smart to think that he had been "invited" to this room simply for that. "Where are you thinking of going?"
Dolphin sighed and adjusted his glasses, "Well we have family in North America that I haven't seen in a long time so It'd be nice to go there."
Yamaki flexed his right hand, "Have you heard what happened this morning?"
Dolphin nodded, "Yeah Hypnos now has authority in most of Asia to respond to digital threats."
"That's right", Yamaki said, "But were not the only such program in the world anymore." Both men looked at the world map on the room's big screen. Both North America and the European Union have started their own programs. The Europeans in at NATO head quarters in Belgium. North America's NORAD has a program based at their headquarters in Canada."
Dolphin looked surprised, "Why Canada?"
"Simple, they based it at their Canadian headquarters because of the low population density in Canada, the lowest in the world. There fore there's less chance of people getting hurt and less chance of drawing the attention of the public eye."
Dolphin looked at him, "So is it NORAD you want me to go to?"
Yamaki was only slightly surprised at how quickly the programmer had caught on. "They specifically requested you."
"May I ask why?"
"They said it's because you speak both English and French fluently, but other than that I don't know."
Dolphin sighed, "Well I did want to stay involved with the digimon, and chances are if they didn't draft me, someone else would.
"That's probably truer than I'd like to tell you."
"Dolphin sighed heavily, "ell then you can tell them I accept."
Yamaki looked over Dolphin's shoulder, "You can tell him yourself."
Surprised Dolphin turned around to see a relatively tall man in a black suite and tie walking towards them.
"I'm glad to hear you accept our proposal Mr. McCoy. I'm Jacob Smith and I represent the Digital Response Division of NORAD on this matter."
Dolphin managed a nod, "Can I ask where I'll be sent?"
"To the Canadian headquarters in Winnipeg."
Dolphin raised and eyebrow, "Why Winnipeg?"
"Besides being the location of a NORAD headquarters and the accompanying supercomputer", Yamaki answered. "It's where the digimon are most likely to appear in North America."
Dolphin looked at him shocked, "But why?"
"Part of your job will be finding the answer to that question", he answered.
Dolphin's expression darkened, "Oh."
Mr. Smith addressed him, "Well Mr. McCoy perhaps I can come by your home later and discuss the details of your resettlement with you and your family."
Dolphin frowned, this guy was acting way too cheerful for his liking. "Fine, six o'clock."
Mr. Smith nodded, "I'll be there." Without another word he spun on his heel and walked out of the room.
The remaining two men turned to each other and Dolphin extended his hand towards the younger man. "I guess this is so long."
Yamaki smiled and shook his hand, "We'll keep in touch."
Dolphin smiled back, "Definitely."
The two men released each others hands and parted ways.
Xander Mackenzie drifted back to consciousness as a constant beeping nagged him awake, his short brown hair slightly tussled as he sat up in bed.
He opened his eyes and Immediately had to shield them from a harsh light coming from his dresser. Slowly he got up and walked up to it.
His eyes finally adjusted to the light, he looked at the source of light. It was his portable web surfer, a portable device that allowed him to surf the internet without the cost of a black berry or laptop. As a downside it could do little else besides saving cookies and favourite web pages.
Frowning he picked it up. Ever since he had hacked the device in an attempt to store some pictures and documents for the local Fan Digimon Contest it hadn't been working properly. It had gotten to the point where he had to reformat it, and even the it still behaved strangely.
Suddenly the device glowed brightly, causing him to shield his eyes once more until the light subsided. When he looked again at his Web Surfer it didn't look the same.
Firstly it now had a red and silver paint scheme, his favourite. It also had several more buttons and the stylus was now missing. The screen now glowed a dull red colour that would not harm his night vision.
Immediately a holographic compass sprang to life and pointed at his window. He looked out the window and spotted a small but dense patch of fog in the field and was immediately surprised to see flashes inside it.
For a reason beyond his knowing he had and incredible urge to investigate.
As quickly and quietly as he could he changed out of his pyjamas for more durable clothes and slipped out his window onto the roof, thanks full his window overlooked the backyard.
He crept to the edge of the porch roof and after checking for obstructions leapt to the ground, being sure to roll as he hit the ground to cushion the landing.
He walked onto the porch, wiped the grass off is feet and retrieved his shoes that had been left there.
After double checking the compass and that he hadn't been noticed he ran across his yard out into the field.
Almost out of breath he reached the fog and despite being right up to it all he could see inside were a pair of shapes moving about quickly.
Summoning up his courage and driven by his curiosity he stepped inside.
As he moved further into the fog the shapes became more defined. A flash happened near him and the blast caused him to stagger. 'Wait, Blast? What's going on here?"
At last he reached a clearing in the fog. Now he was able to see the shapes for what they were and it chilled him to his core. An Ogremon and another digimon were fighting each other, trading blows, neither gaining an advantage.
The other digimon wore a black wore a black cape with a high collar. He had black gloves and boots while a black fedora adorned his head. Finally he held a silver staff, much like Wizardmon's but it had an orb on the top and was pointed on the bottom.
'It can't be', he thought, 'It's the digimon I made up for the contest!' did the hacking of his web surfer have something to do with this?
Xander's thoughts were interrupted when Ogremon slammed the other into a hay bale. Ogremon drew back his arm to throw his club.
"Shields up", Xander cried!
Reacting Immediately the other digimon put his palms forward. Vertical glowing lines appeared on his cape and gloves, as though woven into them. Suddenly a blue shield appeared in front of him and the club bounced off harmlessly.
Xander sighed in relief, but felt knots form in his stomach when he saw the Ogremon glaring angrily at him.
"What's the big Idea", he growled! "That's cheating!"
Xander watched in horror as Ogremon pulled back his arm, about to use his Pummel Whack attack on him.
"Plasma Bolt!"
A bright orange blast hit Ogremon in the side, knocking him to the ground.
Xander looked at the other digimon, his left palm forward, lines in his glove glowing. Quickly he dashed forward and jumped into her air. He held his staff out in front of him, the bottom quarter of it glowing blue.
Ogremon looked up in horror as the caped digimon fell towards him, the business end of his staff first.
"Light Spear!"
Ogremon cried out as the staff pierced his body he disintegrated into data.
The unknown digimon simply stood where he was, leaning on his staff to rest for a moment.
Cautiously Xander approached him and the other digimon turned to look at the one who had saved him from Ogremon's fate.
"Who are you", he asked who he assumed was a human?
Xander gulped, "I'm Xander."
The digimon stood up strait and responded, "I am Techno Wizardmon"
"I see." Xander paused for a moment before asking, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for someone", he replied.
"Who?"
"I don't know", he answered uneasily. "By the way I should thank you for saving me."
Xander smiled, "I should thank you for returning the favour." He looked back at his Web Surfer, "But if it hadn't been for this thing I wouldn't have known to come."
Techno Wizardmon extended his hand towards it. "What is it?"
When his hand touched the surface it started to glow a bright red colour.
When it had subsided, the two beings stared at each other.
"You're the one I've been searching for", Techno Wizardmon exclaimed! "You're my tamer!"
Xander stared in amazement at what he now classified as his digivice. "The other night I had a dream where I aided you in battle against an X-vmon.
His partner nodded, "Yes that was the day I digevolved into this form. During that battle I felt another presence, that seemed to be aiding me. From that moment I knew I had to find you."
Xander nodded understanding.
Bothe stood silent for a moment, neither knowing what to say.
"So what are we meant to do", Techno Wizardmon asked?
Xander yawned, "I think we're meant to go to sleep before my parents discover my absence."
His digimon partner didn't fully understand, but sleep sounded good so he followed his tamer back home.
So this is the first chapter of my first digimon story. I hope you like it. If you try to look up Techno Wizardmon, don't bother, I made him up. Thanks for reading.
