"I guess you're all wondering why I called you all here," said Takato as he sat in the chair at the head of the table looking at some of his friends looking at him strangely at him along with some of the original programmers.
"To answer that he didn't call you all here, he's just sitting in my chair," announced Yamaki as he walked into the room with his sunglasses on like it was his trademark as well as his lighter in his hand. The fact that he was flipping the top on and off meant something bad was happening because he always did it when he was nervous about something. "Now then, the reason that I called you all here was because we've been dealing with the recent portals that keep an interaction between us and we have found that there is something wrong with each one of them. Thanks to the data provided by a man named, and mind you I don't think he has any relation to the ancient warlord, Oda Nobunaga, we've been able to track the data from the D-Reaper. According to these charts and other tracer graphs that only half of you could probably read, this data was absorbed into the digital world and the result is some of the new berserkers that we've been getting lately."
"So how do we stop doze berserkers from comin' over on dis side," asked Impmon as he sat next to his two young tamers who were now the age that Takato and his friends used to be, mentally and physically.
"Well we can't stop them unless we can get a sample data but before we try that some anomaly happens and the creature is erased completely," replied Yamaki as he smacked Takato on his head so he could get his seat back. "The man who I was just telling you about, Nobunaga, has a plan on how we can
stop these things from coming or getting data from them to do that, but I must warn you, he is a bit of an ass."
"It's no problem to us, sir, what is important is protecting this world and the digital world," said Herny Wong as he brushed his short blue hair back with his right hand and looked at his other team mates. "If he can give us some data then he must be something of a programmer so I guess we can't complain about getting more help with any of these things."
"Well he's not just any programmer," said Yamaki before he turned to see the mahogany door to the room open and in stepped a tall man with long dark hair that was slicked back and hung down near his shoulders, dressed in an expensive suit. He smelt of cologne and wore dark tinted glasses that went with his black suit. "This is Oda Nobunaga, one of the top programmers in the world who has a knack for digimon and cracking advanced algorithms in his spare time. He'll be helping us with this threat until he deems that he is no longer needed and will then help to add on to your digi-vices and digimon."
"Ohayo," replied the man as he took a seat right next to a window and started to stare out of it for the longest time until someone knocked on the table to get his attention. It was Rika.
"Excuse me, but could you share with us anything that you may have on how to stop these things," asked Rika, a bit annoyed at how laid back the man could be despite the destruction that had been caused to innocent people and their homes during the attacks.
"Calm down, my data is just the maps and charts you see right now, what I want to know is your thoughts on the matter," replied Nobunaga as he looked at Rika with his suave voice and then looked at the others. "Right now, formulating plans based on theory is the best way to proceed to set up a foundation for the later research that will occur."
"Well I was thinking that if we used some type of program that could capture digimon, a variant of the Juggernaut Program perhaps," suggested Henry's father as he stood up and he could immediately feel the eyes of Nobunaga studying him.
"Most times when we use the Juggernaut it's a bad thing, but there is no guarantee that the inevitable anomaly will mess with the program," replied Nobunaga as he sat back a bit more in his chair. "Perhaps we could try to study the anomalies and see where they occur from since they don't appear to be random occurrences nor do they appear to be a glitch in the system."
"Yes that is a good possibility, but with these occurrences happening every day, the need for a quicker solution takes precedence," argued Yamaki as he typed on his lab top to go through the run through of the system. "While tracking this area I've found that there is a massive area of data that is unknown on the sites and through my communications with the sovereign digimon I've determined that this place could be the data that generates a lot of the anomalies as well as these digimon that have been appearing."
"Okay then so we have a base of attack, right," asked Takato as he looked at everyone and then caught the unmistakable sound of someone scoffing at him. He turned immediately to the direction of Nobunaga.
"This could just be a ruse, these things don't just off on a random pattern, they attack all the major cities," said Nobunaga as he got back up and set up a map of the world with red dots marking the places of attacks and how frequent the attacks were. "From this we can tell that they wish to destroy our ability to fight back so they can defeat us easily, they have a tactical mind. Taking the first part is very risky so we should see if it does anything there as well as any other data spaces like it, it's just as easily possible for that thing to be spawning these things off of itself."
"Well I got something for you if you need a break," shouted one of the orderlies from the communications array. "We got something on the run down in West Shinjuku, it is described as a monster with large wings and a very pissed off attitude!"
"Okay kids, let's get to work while my research team checks out the anomaly," ordered Yamaki as he walked up the stairs that was next to the room and walked out onto the helipad where the chopper was rearing to go. He got on and heard someone behind him so he turned to see Nobunaga following him. "You shouldn't be here, this is very dangerous!"
"I'd rather get an up close data reading on those digimon so if you don't mind I'm coming," declared the raven haired man as he sat down in the helicopter and watched as the kids went off, especially one digimon that had no partner. It was a tall black digimon with black shirt, black leather pants, black leather jacket that had gauntlets on with a medal forearm protector plates and a red bandana on his left arm, all topped off with spikes on the tip of his black leather boots. "Hmm, which digimon is that over there?"
"That is Beelzemon, the mega form of Impmon and he usually goes in alone without his tamers due to their age," said Yamaki as he cleaned his sunglasses off and then put them back on. "From what I know he was made mega by one of the Sovereign and then killed Leomon, the digimon of the girl named Jeri. I know a lot of his past and he does seem to be a bit rough around the edges but he does have a heart under that tough exterior, he just shows it in his own way. He's also very strong, having destroyed many ultimate level digimon as well as a few mega levels, but he lacks the ability to merge with his own tamers because there are two of them. One would argue that they were not his tamers or at least not the tamers that he was meant for."
"He has some impressive data codes to him, he must be a viral type, but it's very similar to Guilmon's data codes," noted Nobunaga as he started typing on his computer with fast strokes that made Yamaki raise an eyebrow at him.
A monster would describe the digimon they were looking at perfectly, for it looked like something out of a horror movie with its tentacles that stretched out to grab its enemies and the horrible claws that it had with sharp talons. The arms of the digimon were covered in yellow scales that looked very dragon-like, but its head resembled that of a goat with an odd green diamond on its forehead. For a torso, the creature had an ugly fusion of metal and biological brown skin that resembled a body crushed by a metal beam with a long, whip like metal tale that it thrashed around to cut into buildings like a hot knife through butter. Its massive dog feet crushed the bits of rubble that had fallen it its path with no sign that it had felt anything from the burning, pointy rubble with the last bit of it still clinging to the sole of its feet. One arm shot out to destroy a wall that a mother and her small children were hiding behind as the creature came closer to them with the demons of death and destruction on its shoulder. The tail that would have cut the mother and her two children to pieces spun in the air, but before it could attack anyone, a metal claw grabbed the monstrous digimon and then used the tail to fling the monster into the sky.
"Alright that's the way to get him Guilmon," shouted a teenager with light brown hair that was at medium length and wearing a blue hoodie on and grey pants on. "Way to stick it right to him!"
"Don't get too cocky they are right near here," said a voice from behind Takato and he turned to see the familiar face of Nobunaga jumping from the helicopter and landing near the mother and child to help them evacuate the area. Because of his distraction no one took the time to notice where the creature went and it was soon right beside Nobunaga, ready to attack when a dark claw shot out of the
ground to nearly impale the creature had it not moved back, but it couldn't escape the other attack that came below.
"Well it's about time for you overly dramatic entrance, don't you think," said Nobunaga as he looked at the Devimon that rose out of the rubble with a smirk on his face as he absorbed the data.
"A Devimon, oh crap now digimon like that are here," exclaimed Takato before Nobunaga put his hand up to ease the boy, revealing a digivice in his hand that had black in the color areas. "Wait, when did you become a tamer, you're not even an adult."
"Anyone can be a tamer, I just found a companionship in Devimon, is it that strange," asked Nobunaga as he looked at him and then found that the others who had arrived were staring at him. "Anyway I believe that we can scan the data absorbed by Devimon to get a good look at what these things are while I go take a look at what the scanners picked up from the areas."
"I hope there aren't any other surprises that you have in store for us," said Yamaki as he walked off.
"I think he took it very well," said Devimon as he watched Yamaki walk off with an air of importance. "How will he take your ultimate plan remains to be unseen."
"I am aware of that, but risks are things you must take," said Nobunaga as he held his arms out and was raised in the air by Devimon to Hypnos headquarters.
