Welcome to another Digimon fic, readers, and I take it that you already knew of the risks involved here since this will be a different kind of fic, as I'll be attempting to do a sci-fi thriller involving Takuya and Izumi, along with the rest of the gang. And yes, this fic is inspired from the 1982 Chuck Norris movie of the same name.

While the elements from the movie will be used here I'll try to blend some suspenseful elements from the anime so that you'll feel right at home, while the violence and action parts will be visible here to give you a real feel of true thriller and suspense, and of course the violence level is going to be quite graphic, hence the M-rating.

While this sounds like a typical "normal" fic, since there won't be any "Beast Spirits" involved, I thought I should give you readers something new, as in how the gang would deal with this kind of situation as they used their experience during their time in the Digimon world and apply it in the real world to survive and escape any danger even though what they're about to face is something they would never expect.

I hope this treat will suit your likings as I'm going to try out different experiments for this series. Of course love scenes are abound but will appear somewhere this fic but in a random manner.

Lastly, this fic takes place four years after Digimon Frontier, so Takuya and the gang are now in their early to mid-teens.

September 11, 2001…

Early on the morning on September 11, 2001, nineteen hijackers took control of four commercial airliners en route to San Francisco and Los Angeles from Boston,Newark, and Washington, D.C. (Washington Dulles International Airport). At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 was crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower, followed by United Airlines Flight 175 which hit the South Tower at 9:03 a.m. Another group of hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. A fourth flight, United Airlines Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m, after the passengers on board engaged in a fight with the hijackers. Its ultimate target was thought to be either the United States Capitol or White House.

During the hijacking of the airplanes, the hijackers used weapons to stab and/or kill aircraft pilots, flight attendants and passengers. Reports from phone callers from the planes indicated that knives were used by the hijackers to stab attendants and in at least one case, a passenger, during two of the hijackings. Some passengers were able to make phone calls using the cabin airphone service and mobile phones, and provide details, including that several hijackers were aboard each plane, that mace or other form of noxious chemical spray, such as tear gas or pepper spray was used, and that some people aboard had been stabbed.

Within several minutes three buildings in the World Trade Center Complex collapsed due to structural failure on the day of the attack. The south tower (2 WTC) fell at approximately 9:59 a.m., after burning for 56 minutes in a fire caused by the impact of United Airlines Flight 175. The north tower (1 WTC) collapsed at 10:28 a.m., after burning for approximately 102 minutes. When the north tower collapsed, debris heavily damaged the nearby 7 World Trade Center (7 WTC) building. Its structural integrity was further compromised by fires, which led to the crumbling of the east penthouse at 5:20 p.m. and to the complete collapse of the building at 5:21 p.m

Response to the attack was immediate as the United States President George W. Bush led the alliance against the terrorists involved and led allied forces on Afghanistan to find and capture the terrorists involved. Of course, among the allied forces involved is Japan, and sends its soldiers there to participate in flushing out the ones responsible. At first many took pride in their participation but as months passed by some were feeling depression and homesickness as Afghanistan is like a desert with little to no structural scenes. Tanks, gunfire and sand. That's all they've seen and though some were able to persevere, one of them didn't.

He is Janusu Kirubi. What the other fellow Japanese soldiers didn't know is that since childhood, Kirubi suffered an undetected mental illness which his father denied or rather ignored, believing this as an excuse not to undergo strict regimen (physical and acedemic) and instilled harsh discipline in hopes of making Janusu a model soldier in hopes that his son would live up to his expectations.

Sometime in 2005…

After four years Japan's parliamentary ordered its troops to pull out and Jaraku was among the Japanese soldiers to be pulled out. As they arrived, Janusu went into reclusion to his house but his father berated him for "failing" him by not voluntarily staying behind, and Janusu's resentment, and his increasing mental deterioration, led him to savagely attack his father and killed him, and then hid him at the basement of the house and took a shower and left, along with his belongings, and locked the house.

A few months later he was "adopted" by an unidentified family and Janusu's mental condition seemingly stabilized, getting along with the family and does house works and chores. Ironically, this family is living close to the Kanbara house where Takuya is there. As things went peacefully smooth, the family's youngest son came and surprised Janusu with a toy gun pretending to be an undercover cop, dressed in a SWAT costume.

This caused Janusu's condition to take a schizophrenic turn as memories of the Afghan war on terrorism to resurface and took the boy to his room and secretly killed him by strangling and snapping the boy's neck. He then took the boy's toy radio and turned it on (it was battery operated) and tried to establish contact, but there were only static sounds. By then his mental condition deteriorated ad slowly went into madness as he finally lost touch with reality.

The matriarch of the family came and saw her son's corpse and saw the man staring viciously at her. She was wearing only in a bathrobe and her hair is wrapped in a towel and Janusu mistook her as a terrorist as the towel in her head resembles a turban and he immediately went outside via the backdoor, returning only to carry an ax and chased her, but she managed to lock herself in her room and opened the window, screaming for help.

He then started swinging the ax to break out the door where it slowly formed a hole. The family's patriarch, who just watched the TV saw the news where Janusu's father was found, and murdered, and Janusu's picture was shown as being wanted by police for questioning. Realizing that they unknowingly, and unintentionally, harbored a wanted man, he decided to inform his wife when he heard the screams and pounding.

As he went up stairs, he saw Janusu axing the bedroom's door and took a chair and struck him on the back, but this seem to have little effect, as the already psychotic Janusu appeared to be ignorant of pain and struck the ax on the patriarch's head, penetrating the skull and it the top portion of the brain, and he was killed.

By this time Takuya and Izumi were passing by the neighborhood after attending classes in junior high and from there things will take a turn for them, being that they are about to enter a different territory wherein they are about to encounter a crime being committed.

"Hey, Izumi…want to come over in my house?"

"Um…sure, but is your family there? They might keep an eye on us since I'll be your first girl to come over…your mom and dad might think of crazy ideas if we are alone… …"

"Relax…they'd be happy if they see me bring a girl at my house…that way they'll know that I become a "man"…and it's a good step since we "graduated" from being "Chosen Children" and now we can face new challenges…"

"I can't believe I'd be hearing this from you…but you're right…we have to face the present…and we're no longer kids who change into Digimons…huh? Takuya…did you…?"

"Huh…? Sounds like someone is screaming…"

As they passed by the houses where the besieged house is nearby, the housewife was halfway out of the window screaming for help. Because she was quite fat she couldn't fit her way out and frantically shouted for help. There Takuya and Izumi saw the woman at the window screaming and realized that something is wrong. A passing mailman heard and saw this too and Takuya uses the opportunity and approached him.

"Quick…call the police! Now!"

"Got it!"

And so the mailman went towards the nearest house to use the phone to call the police while Takuya used his cellphone to called Junpei and/or Koji for help knowing that he and Izumi are not QUITE versatile in fighting since they no longer possess Digimon abilities so the two reluctantly opted to wait for help until then.

Inside the house, Janusu had partially smashed the door, and saw the woman trying to squeeze her way through the window so he smashed his way in, and then pulled her back in. The woman, terrified, begged Janusu for mercy, but since her towel, still resembling a "turban", remained fastened around her head, his "paranoia" increased and called her a terrorist who caused millions of deaths and began axing her from head to torso and in less than two minutes the screaming slowly died down and the bedroom is now a room full of blood.

After the carnage is over, he looked around and in his "vision" he thinks he is still in Afghanistan and decided to hide around the house believing more enemies are coming in and prepares to initiate a "counter-attack".

Outside the house, Takuya sensed that something is wrong and realized that the woman may have been killed as Izumi pointed out that the woman is no longer visible from the top window, and seeing that Junpei and Koji have not yet arrived, as with the police, the 15-year old boy decided to act on his own, much to Izumi's worries.

"No! What if the killer is still there?"

"I'll be careful…what if there are kids there? I can't ignore this while the killer is still there. We survived Mercurymon's labyrinth…the battle with the Royal Knights…even Lucemon in his ultimate form…I'll be okay. You stay outside and wait for the police to arrive. I'll keep my eye open till then…I'll be back."

"Takuya…"

"How about this…if I'm not out by evening…pray for me…if I survive…we make out at my bedroom…"

"Eh?"

"Just kidding…I'll be okay…"

"Fine…I accept…but only if you emerged unharmed…"

With that, Takuya went inside, and went to the boy's bedroom, seeing that he was already dead, his neck snapped and blood dripped from his mouth while his eyes remained opened. He seem to have regretted his decision on waiting outside as it only gave the crazed war soldier time to kill the entire family. He then slowly went upstairs to check for any survivors, and saw a maid slumped on the stairs, her head, from the top cranium, almost chopped apart like a coconut being severed, her brain tissues exposed.

"Nnnggrrr…either the suspect is a serial killer or a crazed psychopath…either way, I can't turn back now as I think there may be survivors here…and I hope there is one so that the survivor can shed light on this…"

As the former bearer of the Beast Spirit of Flame slowly climbed the stairs, Takuya had no idea that Janusu hid himself somewhere within the 2nd floor, seeing his next target, and he mistook him for a young radical and prepares to take out his intended target.

To Be Continued…

My first chapter…and I hope you like it. This is a stark contrast to my other Digimon fics since they are known for everything that a Digimon anime has, while here I this fic the characters are "normal", no fantastic powers or cool gadgets…just plain teenagers. But this would be a good way on how Takuya and the gang would deal with something like this since they are now teenagers facing challenges in the real world.

Preview:

Takuya vs. Janusu…and this is where his life hangs in the balance since Jausu is a skilled soldier while Takuya is a novice in Judo (an extra class in his school), so see what happens if he could survive the attack.

Notes:

Okay…so I did borrow the elements from the movie, but altered the beginning to give it a good start and on how and why the villain in this fic began to act like crazy. While I might get some flak on using the September 11 2001 incident as basis for the start of this fic, I felt that this is a good way to use this as reference to give some info on how this story began.

Also, I know it might be wrong to use real-life political figures and events as an opening basis but since this fic is fictional, I guess it's okay since I know I didn't do anything offensive or anything here. So feel free to review and let me know what you think…
