Prolog:

He stared blankly at the sky. There was no moon in sight and the light of the city was so bright that he couldn't see any stars either. It was just a gray night sky that made him sick looking at. But he didn't know what he could do. He was so bored. It was awful to wait this long, especially when talking about those guys. They were crazy people, thinking that they could forever just do as they please. This wasn't the digital world. It was the real world. Even though they thought they were saving humans with their actions he was not really sure of that. But if he had to work with them to save his friends, he had no other choice then to obey.

"..Ah, you're already here."

He turned around.

"Alice.."

He glared at the girl who had just appeared from the shadows. She was maybe two or three years older then him. She wore a Gothic Lolita dress and had her blonde hair bond to two long pigtails. Actually that was just her normal look. But in this moment he had to think of an other girl with similar blonde hair. A girl he hadn't seen in ages.

"Don't just appear from behind. You startled me." he murmured.

"That wasn't my intention. Sorry for that." she said emotionless. "Can we start now?"

Before he could answer that, she already opened her suitcase and took out the... well he called it „researching-stuff" because the stuff they used for their work had all really long and complicated names. Way too hard to remember for him. But all the stuff Alice used was nothing compared to the things they had in the laboratory.

"Ah.. I found one." Alice said and brought him back to reality. "Are you going?"

"Do I have a choice?" he asked sarcastically.

"You always have a choice."

"Eh..?"

Alice stood up and stared deep in his eyes.

He felt as she would stare right into his soul.

"You could end it all now. Forever."

With these words she took a few steps to the edge of the high building they were standing on. She looked back to him and then pointed down on the street.

"You could jump."

For a moment he stopped breathing. Then he took his fist and brought it down on Alice head. Not strong enough to actually hurt her or anything though.

"Idiot. Stop messing around, we have work to do."

She nodded as a big dog like looking animal came out of the shadows behind her. Well actually calling it an animal was incorrect. It just looked a lot like one. But it was a Digimon. A Digital Monster. And also her Partner. And so once again, Alice, her partner and the demotivated boy went off to their mission- he thought self-ironically as he followed the cute-looking Gothic Lolita and her Digimon partner. Well then.
