Takeru crept along the dark hall. Grasping his gun in his left hand, he pulled out a gas grenade from his back pocket. He pulled out the pin and proceded to roll it down the long hall. He heard a large hiss of gas. Takeru smiled. Mission seems to be going as planned...maybe I WILL make it home for the ball. I hope so...if Koushiro's weather disrupter works...I'll be able to do it outside...instead of in.

Takeru had been shocked when five days from Christmas Eve, M had ordered him to sneak into the Kamiya research facility in Arizona. He was told to download several documents onto a standard GENE disk and then to destroy the facility. Documents relating to a bomb known only as the "Yamachi 13." Knowing that Takeru was about to take a big step in MI6, Daisuke, his friend and fellow 00 agent, graciously offered to take the mission, but Takeru argued that he'd be the best for the job. And he was.

Creeping along the hall, he looked up at the label for the room. It read: RESTRICTED AREA. AUTHORIZED PERSONEL ONLY. He rested his hand on the door. Security should be off by now. Takeru braced himself and slowly opened the door.

Takeru leaned into the doorway. Seeing no guards, he strolled into the lab. He put away his gun and pulled out a GENE disk. He slid it into the terminal. I hate computers...this is what Koushiro's supposed to do! he thought to himself. A screen popped up. Takeru hit "Download." As it started to download, Takeru pulled out a C-4. He slapped it onto the main terminal. He checked the screen: 5...4...3...2...1...complete. He pulled the disk out of the computer. Looking around one the lab one last time, he walked out of the lab to come face to face with a gun.

Damn. he thought.

"Mr. Takashi. What an...unpleasant surprise. Most of the scientists are out this week. For Christmas vacation," the guard pulled back the hammer of the pistol, "I would have thought you would have been on vacation as well."

"Obviously not," Takeru replied. Without warning, he violently kicked upward.

"AHH!" the man shouted. Takeru thrust his fist into the guard's forehead. Takeru jabbed the man's gut. After the guard managed to regain his posture, he grabbed Takeru and proceeded to strangle him.

"Hrrk..." Takeru stifled, gasping for air.

Leaning close, the guard spit on Takeru and grunted, "We...do not appreciate 00 agents in this facility, Mr. Takashi."

Takeru reached down to the knife hidden in his boot. He grasped onto the handle, pulled it out, and stabbed it into the guard's abdomen. The guard released Takeru. Takeru turned around and kicked his head. The alarm suddenly went off. Damn...what do I do!? He looked back and saw the lab door opened. Aww, shit. Thinking quickly, he pulled out a flash grenade.

Takeru ran down the hall towards the glass window. He slapped it onto the window, making sure it stuck. Thank God for adhesives, he thought. Dashing backwards, he picked up his gun and fired it. The bullet hit the grenade with a big flash. Coughing in the dust, he glanced behind himself. Three guards. Aiming his gun, he fired at them. He started to run backwards. He picked up the fallen guard's pistol and started firing both guns in his hands wildly. Seeing all three fall, he turned around and continued dashing towards the broken window.

Takeru attached a small buckle to a handhold. He attached another buckle to his vest. He ran and jumped out the broken glass. The steel fiber rope suddenly released and slowed Takeru's fall. Finally he hit level ground. He unhooked the rope and ran away from the building. As he ran, Takeru glanced at his watch. Thirty seconds, he thought to himself.

Takeru looked up. A small cargo plane was sitting on the runway. A thought flashed through his mind. He quickened his pace.

29...

Several guards ran out of the facility. They started firing at him.

28...

Without looking back, he pulled out his gun and started firing madly at the pursuing guards.

27...26...25...24...23...

Takeru reached the plane. He opened the door and jumped in. He searched around for the ignition key.

22...21...20...

He found it under the dash board. Placing the key in the ignition, he fired up the plane.

19...18...17...16...15...

The plane cruised down the runway

14...13...12...11...10...9...8...7...6...5...4...

The plane started to lift off the ground.

3...

50 meters.

2...

150 meters.

1...

500 meters.

0.

Boom.

The room was brightly lit. All across the floor, people were dancing to the melodic music. A giant chandelier made of crystal hung at the top of the ceiling. Koushiro's weather disrupter made the area around the building nice and cool...like a crisp autumn evening. It was the Izumi Annual Christmas Ball in London and everything seemed good and okay.

Yamato Ishida started to worry. With Sora Ishida, his wife, he had flown over to England to be with Takeru for the ball. When he arrived, Yamato found out that Takeru was sent abruptly onto a mission to Arizona. Although he knew Takeru worked for MI6 as a 00 agent and that his job often interrupted his personal life, but Yamato never imagined that M would send Takeru off right before Christmas. So Yamato decided to prepare a surprise for when Takeru got home. But he was already a day late, and it made Yamato tense. What if he's been hurt? he thought to himself, irrationally, What if something went wrong in his planned mission whatever it was? What if...

Yamato's thoughts were interrupted by a calm voice coming from behind him. "Take it easy, Yamato," Daisuke said, "Takeru'll be fine. He knows what he's doing." Yamato turned and forced a weak smile. In the back of his mind, Yamato knew that was true. Daisuke and Takeru were partners in crime, 006 and 007 respectively. They had worked on several missions together in the past. Takeru trusted him. Yamato knew that he should to. But he didn't. Seeing that Yamato was still terse, Daisuke motioned with his hand, "Come on. I'll get you a drink."


At that same time...

The sun beat hot on the back of Takeru's neck. He was at a small airstrip in a quaint little place called Somewhere, Texas. More like Nowhere, Texas, if you ask me. In some way's, it was true. Somewhere, Texas was a small military base in the middle of nowhere. Halfway through his flight to Austin, Texas, he realized that his plane was nearly out of gas. Actually, it was out of gas and because of that, the plane started to fall. He jumped out of the plane and parachuted the rest of the way down. When he hit level ground, he started to walk off. By pure chance, he stumbled across the place.

The commanding officer of Somewhere greeted Takeru with opened arms. Takeru explained that he was headed for Austin and then to England. The officer stated that they had a supply plane traveling the to Austin. It would be a fifteen minute trip and the officer stated that he would be more than happy to allow Takeru to fly on the way.

And that was where he was now. He glanced at his watch. The plane was going to take off in fifteen minutes. Takeru walked to the plane and got in.


Back at the ball...

Koushiro looked around the ball room. He spotted Mimi Tachikawa siting at a table looking lonely. He walked over to where she sat. When he got there, he took a few moments to observe her. Christ, he thought, she's beautiful. Mimi was wearing a long, black skirt. It cut off right below her waistline and right above her chest. Her hair was tied up in a bun.

"Ms. Tachikawa."

Mimi jerked her head up. There she saw the roguishly handsome Koushiro Izumi. He had an amused look on his face. Koushiro definitely had changed a lot since the time in which the two of them were a part of the DigiDestined. For one, he had gotten much more handsome. He also had grown.

From as far back as she could remember, to the time in which they called him "Izzy", he had always been short. Very short. Still short when she left for the Americas. When she came back, she didn't even recognize him. He was taller and had become very handsome. And now...now he was so appealing to her. With long muscular arms, arms which she wished she would be held in...sexy eyes...those wondrous lips...those...

"Mimi?" Koushiro asked.

Mimi jumped up, startled. She started to mumble, "Oh, um...hi...yah, that's right, hi...um...Koushiro..."

He put two fingers over her lips, to silence her. She looked up at him. He extended his arm. "Would you care to dance, my lady?" he asked politely.

She smiled. "Why, yes, good Sir, I would," she answered after she regained herself. Taking her arm into his, he pulled her up, and strolled across the floor.


Nearly four hours later...

Takeru woke up with a groan. For about four hours, he had been sleeping in the jet liner that was taking him to London. After dropping off the GENE disk at the rendevous, he hopped on a plane and finally started flying to London.

He looked over the window and smiled. He was flying over London right now. I should be there in just a few minutes...I'll be with Daisuke, Yamato and Sora, Koushiro, Mimi...and Hikari...


Fifteen minutes later...

Hikari sighed. Hikari couldn't handle it anymore. Her brother, Taichi, owned a multibillion dollar corporation and could have easily gotten her a plane ticked to Japan, but she graciously declined. He wanted to spend time with their mother. She wanted to spend time with Takeru. She loved her mother very much, but all she wanted to do was to be with Takeru. When she found out he was sent on a mission five days before Christmas, she was fed up. She just couldn't handle it. I'm going...

"Miss me?"

Startled, Hikari whipped0 around. There stood a tall man with blond hair. He wore a black tuxedo, and in his hand he carried a rose. He extended his arm. "For you," Takeru said.

"For me? Thanks Takeru," she said.

He leaned next to her and whispered into her ear, "Listen, I have something I want to ask you. Could you meet me outside...now?"

Hikari dumbly nodded. As he walked off, he looked behind himself and winked. I
wonder what...oh no. He's...he's...I've got to tell him.
And with that thought, she took off, to break him the news.

Takeru waited outside the hotel. This is...is going to be perfect. She'll say yes...I... I can't believe it. Hikari walked out. Takeru walked up to her.

"Listen, Takeru..." she started to say.

"No," he interrupted, "Let me go first." He knelt down. "Hikari Kamiya. When we were the DigiDestined, you had the Crest of Light and you've lived up to that. You have been my light for a long time...a long time. I would like that time to last forever." He pulled out a small black box and opened it. Inside, "Will you give me the greatest honor in the world and become my wife? I've..."

"Takeru," she said, "I...I have to...my answer has to be no. I...I can't handle the fact that one day I might wake up knowing that you might be dead, or that you not be there because of your line of work. Takeru...I...I'm sorry." With that, she ran off, weeping.

Takeru got up, feeling like an idiot. "...gotten approval to quit MI6," he finished. He turned to see Daisuke.

"All right man! Did ya pop the question? I think you must have because Hikari ran in with tears of joy so that..."

"She said no," Takeru replied. It started to rain. Stupid weather disrupter thingy.

Daisuke was taken aback, "Did...didn't you tell her that...that you quit MI6?"

Takeru shook his head, "I didn't get the chance. She...she said she couldn't handle...DAMN!" He pulled back his arm and flung the box as far as it could go. He watched it fly in the wind and hit the freezing lake below.

Daisuke put his arm on Takeru's shoulder, "I'm...I'm really sorry man."

"Yah," he walked off, "Well, so am I."
