Digimon Data Squad
Chapter 2
Marcus and Anya's Inner Strength
Few moments later at D.A.T.S. . . . Yoshino finally caught Marcus and Anya while Lalamon caught Agumon and Riolumon and brought them to D.A.T.S.
"Let go! I said, let go!" Marcus tries to struggle out of Yoshino's hands while Agumon was collared by Lalamon.
Anya and Riolumon decided to come quietly. They all enter into a huge office-like room with computers. A man in a blue coat-like uniform with a little white creature around his neck; Kudamon, came in front of them.
"You witch!" Marcus cried and Yoshino let's go of him
"Commander. Raptor-1 and Riolumon has been seized. I've also brought along the witnesses, Marcus Damon and Anya." Yoshino spoke
"Hello Anya it's good to see you again." Commander Sampson greeted Anya
"It's good to so you too Uncle." Anya greeted
"UNCLE!" Everyone yelled
"Guess he didn't say much about his family. My mom is Commander Sampson's younger sister. I tell you about it later." Anya explained
Marcus walk up towards Commander Sampson, "Hey! Agumon and Riolumon should've been cleared of suspicion already! Stop treating them like criminals!"
"That's not what this is about!" Yoshino pushes back Marcus away from Sampson and Kudamon.
"Then what?" Marcus shouted
"Digimon aren't supposed to be coming here to begin with!" Yoshino explained, "Just being with humans is a crime!"
"It's a crime?! Seven years ago it wasn't a crime. Other kids had Digimon partners and they use to take care of this kind of problem all the time! If a Digimon came to our world the through the digital portals a Digidestined would take care of it not D.A.T.S.!" Anya said angrily
"Yes. Wait what?! Hold on a minute how do you know so much about this?! This is supposed to be classified information!" Yoshino answered
Anya then pulls out her Digivice and shows it to everyone.
"This is how. I'm one of the original Digidestined and always have been for the last 7 years. Remember in Tokyo about seven years ago those weird creatures began appearing out of nowhere and they battled each other that was us the Digidestined that fought off those other Digimon to protect the innocent lives there." Anya explained to Yoshino
"But you guys have Digimon with you too!" Marcus shouted with irritation while pointing at Yoshino
"If a patrol car speeds to catch up to a speeding car, that doesn't make the patrol a criminal, does it?" Lalamon pointed out
Anya looks at Marcus, "She does have a point there... and besides they work here."
Marcus just dropped his head with defeat.
"Boss, get a hold of yourself!" Agumon cried while Riolumon just shrugged
Then Kudamon spoke, "Sampson, what will you do to Raptor-1 and Riolumon?"
"Digimon who create problems in the human world must be completely reduced to a DigiEgg and forced to repatriate to the Digital World." Sampson explained
"DigiEgg?" Marcus didn't knew what a DigiEgg is until a short white knight; PawnChessmon (White), came in and was holding a big egg.
Then Marcus slowly spoke, "That's..." It was the same egg from the battle after the chicken Digimon was defeated.
The white PawnChessmon place the DigiEgg on a machine with circles-like digital wires.
"What are they doing with it?" Marcus asked
"Transporting it, I guess..." Anya answered
Then two women and two PawnChessmons, black & white, began to type.
"Coordinate axes are set!" A blond hair, Megumi Shirakawa, spoke
"Cooling of transmission equipment on! Bionic Condenser functioning!" A black hair, Miki Kurosaki, spoke
"Digital Harmonizer aligning! Security opening!"
Then many of digital partials appears and swirl around the DigiEgg.
"Digital Gate Open!"
"5 seconds to transfer! 3... 2... 1..."
Then Commander Sampson spoke, "Begin transportation!"
"Begin transportation!"
The digital partials swirl around the DigiEgg, faster and got brighter.
Anya, Marcus, Agumon and Riolumon cover their eyes from the bright light.
"Wh-What's that?" said Marcus
The digital partials cover the egg and the DigiEgg turn into digital partial and disappear with the rest of partials.
"Transfer complete!"
"It disappeared..." Marcus spoke with wonder
"We simply sent it back to the Digital World, where the Digimon live." Commander Sampson explained
"Now, it's Riolumon and Raptor-1's turn." Kudamon spoke
Riolumon steps forward, "I'm not leaving, Anya!"
"Uncle you can't take away Riolumon she's been there for me for 7 years you've got to understand that if you separate us you'll destroy the connection I have with her." Anya explained
Commander Sampson thought about it for a moment and sighs in defeat he knew she was right and she wouldn't forgive him if he took Riolumon away forcefully, "Fine but she's your responsibility."
"I won't let you down uncle I promise." Anya told him as she hugged Riolumon
"But Raptor-1 still needs to go." Kudamon stated
"B-but, I don't want to go!" Agumon whimpered
Then two PawnChessmon seized Agumon and Agumon began to struggle.
"Boss, help me!" Agumon cried out
Marcus tries to get the two PawnChessmon to let go of Agumon, "What are you doing to my follower?"
Then Riolumon notice a turtle Digimon; Kamemon, carry a teapot fill with hot water. She quietly spoke, "If Agumon doesn't want to go..." she ran straight towards Kamemon, shouting, "...then he won't go!" and knocks the teapot out of Kamemon's hand.
The teapot hit the ground, making the hot water spill out, creating a huge steam.
"Guys, let's split!" Marcus shouted
"'Kay!" Agumon and Riolumon replied and they, Anya and Marcus ran out the office.
Then Yoshino and Lalamon went after them in pursuit.
"You're not getting away!" Yoshino shouted
Suddenly, Commander Sampson and Kudamon notice a device on the floor. It was the Digivice of Marcus. Sampson pick up the Digivice, examining it.
"A Digivice? Does that belong to the boy?" Kudamon asked
Then Sampson forms a smirk, "I see. That man must've..." Having hunch who gave Marcus his digivice.
With Marcus, Anya and the two Digimon...
At a warehouse, a door slide opens a bit. Marcus pokes his head out to see if the coast is clear.
"They were connected to a place like this..." Marcus wondering
Agumon step out a bit, "Boss, let's hurry out of here!"
"I-Idiot!" Marcus pushes Agumon back inside. "You'll stand out too much if you leave like this!"
"What we need is a cover up." Anya spoke
"A cover up? For what? I can just jump from the rooftops in the city with no worries. Or I can act as a stuffed animal like I usually do whenever I wanted to go out in public with Anya." Riolumon suggested
"Jumping on the rooftops would work but people might see us. But the stuffed animal idea would work better." Anya said
Marcus ignores the two and looks for something that will cover up the Digimons. "There!" He saw a huge box. "We can use this!"
"Marcus did you even listen to us!" Anya wondered
Riolumon rejects the idea immediately, "Oh no! There's no way I'm gonna wear that! No way! You can't make me! You CAN'T make me!"
Few hours later, in a neighbourhood...
Marcus lead Anya towards his house with Agumon, inside the box and Anya carrying Riolumon in her arms.
"Yes! No box!" Riolumon quietly cheered as she stayed still acting just like a stuffed animal.
"Hey boss, how far are we going?" Agumon groaned with tiredness
"Just be quiet and follow me." Marcus said
"I'm hungry!" Agumon cried
"You're not the only one..." Riolumon groaned as her stomach growled quietly
Marcus kept leading everyone towards his house.
Finally, they made it to Marcus' house. They quickly hid inside of Marcus' room. Marcus took out some food gave it to Agumon and Riolumon to eat. Agumon ate a lot chips, some bread and candy while Riolumon eating a big chocolate bar. Marcus and Anya just sat on Marcus' bed while watching the Digimons eat.
"Marcus thank you." Anya said
"What for?" Marcus asked
"For helping me out back at D.A.T.S." Anya replied and began blush a little
"Oh… um your welcome. But can you explain to me the relationship between you and the Commander? I mean I don't want to sound like I'm prodding." Marcus quickly added
"It's ok Marcus. Me and my uncle are pretty close. When I got back from the Digital world the first thing I did was to go to my parents and let them know that I was ok but when I got home no one was home and I realized that they were taking a cruise for the whole summer while I was at summer camp and so I called my Uncle and told him I was home alone and I trusted him more than I did with my parents with my secrets but at the time I was a little unsure if I should tell him about Riolumon but after some thinking I finally decided to tell him about Riolumom and he introduced me to Kudamon and told me about him working for D.A.T.S. and he became commander about five years ago. One day he gave me a call and asked if I wanted to join D.A.T.S. even though you need a Digimon in order to do it but Riolumon was in the Digital World at the time and the Digital Portal was closed I couldn't even open with my Digivice but I still accepted the job. I help bring in the Digimon except I didn't fight them unless I absolutely had to and then about two years ago the Digital Portal opened again and I could send the Digimon back a lot easier instead of turning them into eggs. Sometimes my uncle doesn't think and he just wants to get the job done and over with. He doesn't even consider talking to them about the damage they may have done but that's where I come in, now that the digital portal can be opened again I use my Digivice to open it and send the Digimon back. I just have to make sure I find a computer or a tv screen to do it otherwise I can't open the. I've been a member for the last two years and I never told anyone about my job to the other D.A.T.S. members they don't even know I exist in the job. So all the Digimon incidents you've heard of like the D-Reaper, the Diablomon incident for when they first appeared and when he came back to the human world two years later I was involved in all those events." Anya explained to Marcus and he just stares at Anya for a moment and the biggest smile appeared on his face.
"That is so cool! I mean you guys were awesome when you first battled Diablomon this first time I mean everyone was watching it and when you merged with Riolumon... I thought you kinda pretty..." Marcus said mumbling the last little part
Anya blushed when she heard the last part Marcus said and she smiled. Then the conversation was interrupted by Agumon.
"Hey Boss, this stuff is pretty good!" Agumon spoke with glee while munching on the chips
"I'll say! This stuff is great! I've never had chocolate before." Riolumon cried with happiness and continue to eat the chocolate bar. Agumon tries to a piece of the bar, but Riolumon growls at him, "Touch my chocolate bar and I'll bite ya!"
"Riolumon..." Anya quietly scolded the wolf Digimon
"They can only eat 'food made for Digimon'? Yeah right! They eats anything!" Marcus groaned
"Actually Riolumon never tasted junk food before we always made our food. Lets hope she doesn't get a sugar rush later." Anya hoped
Then they heard a woman's voice...
"Marcus? Are you here?"
Marcus sprung up from his bed, panicking a bit, "Hide!" grabs Agumon and Riolumon then push them both into his closet. "Hurry up!"
"Boss...!" Said Agumon
"Hey wait...!" Said Riolumon
Marcus close the closet door before the bedroom door opens by a woman. It was Marcus' mom, Sarah Damon.
"Marcus!" Sarah exclaimed
"M-Mom! I'm back!" Marcus stuttered with nervous, try to act normal.
"Where were you last night? I thought you got into trouble with the police again! I was worried!" Sarah said with an upset voice
"N-Not all!" Marcus smiled, nervously, "I was with my friend here!" He motion his head towards Anya who is still sitting on the bed.
"Oh! I didn't see you there!" Sarah spoke
Anya stood up and bow towards Sarah, "...Hello, Mrs. Damon... I'm Anya Animari." she whispered with shyness, even though Sarah did heard her a bit.
"My! Ain't you polite. And very pretty!" Sarah smiled at Anya
"Th-Thank you, ma'am... but I don't I'm that pretty really." Anya said, softly as she stand back up and starts to blush
"Nonsense you are beautiful!" Sarah stated
"Anyways! She and I just started talking about life... And before I knew it, it was morning!" Marcus laughed, nervously
Then Sarah look closely at Marcus with a suspicion look on her face. Marcus quickly stop laughing.
"Marcus..." Sarah spoke
"Wh-What?" Marcus stuttered
Sarah looks down at Marcus' feet, "You're stepping on chocolate."
"Gah!" Marcus got his foot off the chocolate. "I-I didn't notice!"
"Your room is so messy! You didn't even clean it up when this young lady came..." Sarah also saw a pile of empty junk food bags on the floor from which Agumon and Riolumon had.
"I-I'll clean it up right now, s-so leave me to it, okay?" Marcus pushes his mother out of his room and close his door.
After the door close, the closet door opens, making Agumon, and Riolumon and the clothes fall out towards the floor.
"Boss, what was that for?" said Agumon
"Yeah! What you do that for?" said Riolumon
Marcus kneel in front of the Digimon, "If anyone finds out you both right here, they'll come to drag you guys back!"
Agumon gasped, "I don't want that!"
"Then listen to me and don't ever make any sounds, okay?" Marcus told the Digimon
"Right!" Agumon nodded
"You got it Marcus!" Riolumon agreed
"Also..." Before Marcus could to tell them, they heard Sarah's voice from the other side of the door...
"Marcus?"
Marcus grabbed the Digimon again, threw them outside the balcony and moved the curtains to cover the slide glass doors.
The door opens again by Sarah, "I thought I heard you talking to someone else..."
"Eh? A-Ah, well...!" Marcus went to his mother, "I-It's just your imagination!"
Anya notices Agumon's tail was sticking out a bit so she stood in front to of the tail to block it.
"Are you hiding something?" Sarah asked
"N-No, nothing!" Marcus stuttered, looking away
Sarah grabs his face, "Look at me when you're talking!"
Outside on the balcony. . .
Agumon was covering his mouth while Riolumon listen the conversation.
"Marcus, remember our promise? That until your father comes back, the three of us will tell each other everything!"
Agumon and Riolumon look at each other with confusion, "Three?" Minus Anya, there's Marcus, his mother, but who's the third one?
They suddenly heard a thud from behind them. They both look back and see a little girl named Kristy Damon, the younger sister of Marcus. The three of them stare at each other for the moment and then...
"AAAAAAHH!"
Kristy screamed with fear while Agumon screamed with shocked. Kristy ran inside where Marcus, Anya and Sarah are.
"Get up here!" Riolumon whispered while pulling Agumon up on the roof.
Inside of Marcus' room. . .
Kristy hugged her mother, Sarah in fear.
"What's wrong, Kristy?" Sarah asked
"I saw a huge lizard and a wolf walking on two legs!" Kristy cried
"Lizard? And a wolf walking on two legs?" Sarah decided to check it out
"W-Wait a sec-...!" Marcus tries to stop his mother
"There's nothing here." said Sarah, not noticing the Digimon are on the roof
"I saw them! A giant lizard and a wolf walking on two legs, right there!" Kristy shouted
On the roof. . .
The wolf Digimon pulled the lizard Digimon all the way to the top of roof. They rest for the moment until they saw an orange tabby cat.
"Oh crap!" said Riolumon
Inside the house. . .
"It was be an UMA!" Sarah spoke
"Huh? UMA?" Kristy and Marcus said with sweat drops
"An unidentified life form, like the Abominable Snowman or the Loch Ness Monster." Anya explained
"Now where did I put my video camera?" Sarah ponders until they all heard bumping and thumping from the roof. "What was that?"
"Oh no!" Anya and Marcus thought
"It must be those creatures!" Kristy went back on the balcony
"Kristy! Wait a second!" Marcus pushes back his sister. "It's dangerous, so stay back! I'll go..." When he pull himself up on the roof with Anya right behind him.
Marcus and Anya then saw Agumon, Riolumon and the cat rolling towards them and crashes into Marcus and Anya.
The crash cause Marcus, Agumon and the cat fall towards the ground. Agumon and Riolumon hit the ground first, then Marcus crashes onto Agumon and Riolumon and the cat just landed on ground on it's feet and ran off while Anya's head hit the ground to hard and was knocked unconscious.
Yoshino was standing over Anya, Agumon,Marcus, and Riolumon.
"This is Yoshino. Targets has been secured. I request permission to erase their memories immediately."
Later on that night time, in Marcus' bedroom...
Marcus was laying on his bed, sleeping, until he woke up and notice that Agumon, Anya and Riolumon wasn't around in his room.
"Anya? Riolumon? Agumon?" Marcus got up, but felt a slight pain on his side. "Owww! Anya? Where'd you go, Agumon?" He got out of bed and look for them. He went down stairs, "Anya!" He look in the living room, but doesn't see Anya nor the Digimon anywhere. "Mom, where's-?" When he came into the kitchen, Marcus saw Agumon and Riolumon... eating bowl of rices with Sarah and Kristy.
"More, please!" said Agumon when he handed the empty bowl to Sarah
Sarah grabbed the bowl, "Coming right up!"
Marcus did the anime drop. Marcus went to Agumon and Riolumon, glaring at them, "How can you two be so easy-going, sitting while eating like that?" He then noticed Anya wasn't with Riolumon.
"And where's Anya?" He asked
Riolumon swallow the food to answers him, "She went to the bathroom she woke up about five minutes before you did."
"And because we might not be able to stand up while eating, boss!" Agumon got his bowl of rices back from Sarah
"That's not what I meant, doofus!" Marcus gave Agumon the double noggie, hard.
"Boss, that hurts!" Agumon cried
"Hey!" Marcus stops hurting Agumon and notice Yoshino is eating next to Riolumon. "We're in the middle of a meal. Do you mind keeping it down?" Yoshino continues eating.
"Ma'am, this kushikatsu is incredible!" Yoshino commented
Marcus grabbed Yoshino and pulled her out of the kitchen, "What are you doing here?"
"I don't know either!" Yoshino replied, "I was going to take you four in, but...
[Flashback]
...Yoshino asked to erase Marcus, his family and Anya's memories, however Commander Sampson said...
"That won't be necessary. Erasure of the Marcus Damon, his family and Anya are suspended. And Anya is already a member of D.A.T.S. so you can't take away Riolumon." Yoshino couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Stay there and keep Raptor-1 under surveillance. And I would leave Anya and Riolumon alone. Is that understood?"
"B-But wait...!" Before Yoshino could argue, Sampson was link off. "Huh?"...
[Flashback end]
... So that's why... I'll be free loading off of you and Anya for a while." Yoshino finished
"What? No way in heck! Leave right now!" Marcus shouted
"But Marcus..." Marcus and Yoshino look through the hallway and saw Anya standing there. "She has to stay here in order to make sure that Agumon won't cause any trouble. And Riolumon isn't gonna be taken away I'm already a part of D.A.T.S. remember. And I have to stay with you at all times says my Uncle and besides, you don't want her to lose her job, do you?"
"I don't care! She leaves!" Marcus screeched at Anya making the girl flinched
"Take it easy on her!" Yoshino scolded Marcus
"Besides, she's right... I can't. I'm under Commander's orders."
"When I say leave, you leave!"
"I won't!"
Anya just watch Marcus and Yoshino barking at each others.
Then Kristy walk by and saying, "Stop arguing like an old married couple."
"Who are you calling a couple?" Both Marcus and Yoshino screeched
"A married couple? ..." Anya thought, while looking at Marcus and Yoshino.
At bedtime. . .
Everyone in the house went to bed. Yoshino slept on Marcus' bed, Agumon slept on the floor next Marcus, who is next Anya and Riolumon slept near a couch.
"Boss...I can't eat anymore..." Agumon drooled in his dream
"That's just great..." Marcus murmured
When Marcus was sound asleep, Anya slowly got up, and quietly walks outside on the balcony and looked up at the stars.
"Anya..." Anya flinches a bit, but recognize the voice. "...What are you doing out there?" Riolumon whispered from the room
"Nothing... Just thinking..." Anya whispered
Riolumon got up and join Anya on the balcony, "About what, Anya?"
"...Everything." Anya responded
Then Riolumon slowly forms a smirk, "Is it about that Marcus?"
Anya blushes, "N-No!"
"It is, isn't it, Anya? You want to hold Marcus and whisper sweet romantic stuff in her ear..."
"Stop! I mean, sure he's a great guy and... he's cute and a lot like me when he fights, he has that same fiery passion I do, but I wasn't thinking about him... yet." Anya got quiet. "I was thinking about my..." She started to frown and her eyes began to tear up.
"Your...?"
"My adopted brother. I haven't seen him in the last 10 years. I still worry about him." Anya said as a tear escaped and rolled down her cheek
Riolumon lay her paw on her tamer's shoulder, "Hey now, don't start crying on me... It's gonna be okay."
"How can it be okay?" Anya wondered
"...I just know..." Riolumon whispered while looking up at that stars and Anya looks with her. "Besides..." The wolf Digimon smirked, "...you and Marcus might make a child."
"Riolumon!" Anya scolded while blushing fully red, "We just met! Besides Marcus probably won't like a girl that's tougher and stronger than he is..."
However, Riolumon said, "You don't know that. Maybe he likes tough girls. Who knows..."
What Anya and Riolumon didn't know that Marcus was still awake hearing every detail that Anya said about him and her adopted brother.
Meanwhile at a elementary school...
One of the computers started up and glow brightly. Then all of the computers began to turn on. Then out of the blue, a digital vortex appears on the ceiling and something little came out. It look like yellow caterpillar with lightning bolt symbol on it's body.
In the morning, at Marcus' house...
Marcus got ready for school while Anya was just waiting for him in her normal clothes.
"Hey, boss, where are you and Anya going?" Agumon asked
"School." Marcus responded
"What's a school, Anya?" Agumon asked
"Well, school is place where you can learn things like math, science, histories, and languages. And some other stuff. Technically I don't go to school anymore cause I am really smart and graduated at the age of eleven. But I still walk around different campus's just wondering around. That's why I'm going for the day." Anya explained
"And where there are tons of people to fight against." Marcus added
"Marcus..." Anya groaned with annoyed
"Wow!" Agumon awed. "I'll go too, boss!"
"All right then, let's go!" Marcus smiled
"Hey, no fair! If he gets to go, I get to go too!" Riolumon whined
Then Anya began to think, "Well..."
"Have you two forgotten?"
Marcus, Anya and the Digimon look back saw it was Yoshino who spoke.
"If a Digimon is seen in public, it'll cause an uproar!"
"...Hmm... She's right, Marcus. If anyone see Agumon or Riolumon, everyone will panic. Actually I can just carry Riolumon around like a stuffed animal like I did it before." Anya spoke
"Oh yeah..." Marcus groaned
Then Agumon whined, "Eh? I wanna go to school with boss! I wanna go! I wanna go!"
Yoshino sighed, "Fine, have it your way. Use this." Then pulled out a digivice and handed to Marcus.
"This..." Marcus spoke
It was the Digivice that Marcus held. "I thought I lost it!"
"You must've dropped it at D.A.T.S. yesterday." Anya explained
"Really?" said Marcus
"Yep!" Yoshino responded
"Yeah, thanks. So what do I do now?" Marcus asked
Then Yoshino explained, "Point towards Agumon and press the button on the right."
Marcus did what Yoshino said and press the button. Then in seconds, Agumon turned in orange digital partials and the orange digital particles went into Marcus' Digivice. Then Agumon's face appears on the screen of Marcus' Digivice.
"Boss! What is this? Lemme out!" Agumon cried from Marcus's Digivice
"Oh! Quit whining!" Riolumon shouted
"Oh my... Agumon!" Anya cried with shock
"Agumon!" Marcus cried
"The Digivice can change any Digimon into data and store it away." Yoshino explained, "It's useful whenever you want to go anywhere together."
Marcus and Anya just stood there in awe.
"Marcus, you're going to be late!" Sarah yelled
"We're off!" Said Marcus running out the door
"Marcus! Wait a minute!" Anya shouted running after him
Few minutes later...
Marcus and Anya (who was holding Diolumon in her arms) were jogging to the school. Yoshino was following next to them in her D.A.T.S. car.
"How long are gonna keep following us?" Marcus asked
"Until Marcus surrenders the Digimon to me." Yoshino replied
"Isn't there anything he can do to stop this?" Anya asked
They all stop near a traffic red light. Then Yoshino said...
"Let's see..."
"So there is something?" Marcus spoke
Yoshino smirked, "You can join D.A.T.S."
"Huh?"
"If you become members of D.A.T.S., there'll be no reason for us to chase after Agumon. I won't have to look over you guys either, but I guess that'll never happen."
"Of course not!" Marcus shouted
The light turned green and Marcus and Anya went off with Yoshino next to them. However, as soon as they cross the street, Marcus stopped, making Anya bump into him.
"Ow! Marcus, what-?" Anya before could finished, she noticed Marcus was staring at something. Anya look at Marcus' way and noticed that they were near an elementary school. There was also police cars park near the front and teachers and young students gathering around something in the fields. It seem something has happened here...
Yoshino stops driving, "Hey aren't you two pressed for time?"
"This is Kristy's school." Marcus went towards crowd with Anya behind.
The children were gathering around an animal pen.
"Kristy!" Marcus cried out to Kristy
"Oh! Marcus, Anya, over here!" Kristy wave at Marcus and Anya and they walk through the crowds.
"Look!" Kristy pointed towards the pen
When Marcus and Anya looked, they saw no animals. Only bang up wood bowls and a few holes in the pen.
"This is terrible..." Marcus whispered
"Kristy, what happened here?" Anya asked
Kristy lay out the details, "See that kid over?" She looks towards a boy, who was crying. A teacher and the principal were trying to comfort the boy while telling the police about what has happened.
"Takashi was the one in charge of taking care of the animals... But when he came to give them breakfast today, all of the chickens and rabbits were gone!"
"The poor thing..." Anya whispered
However, Marcus had a suspicion feeling about Takashi and Anya could sense a unusual aura around the area.
"Actually, something similar happened earlier. The elementary school in next town is performing services." A policeman spoke to the principal
Then Yoshino came, "Come with me." She pulled Marcus and Anya's hand, behind a small building. "A Digimon did that."
"Eh, really?" Marcus gasped
"Look." Yoshino showed her Digivice to Marcus and Anya. The screen on Digivice was showing a beeping sound wave. Sort of like a tracking device. "You can see my Digivice reacting, right? That means a Digimon was around here."
"Whoa, it can do that too?" Marcus was amazed
"Yeah they can. Even mine does it too. It may be old fashioned but my friend Izzy was able to program our digivices to track Digimon and other the other Digidestined." Anya added
"Things are getting interesting, boss!"
"Yeah!" Marcus responded to a voice. It was Agumon! And he was out of Marcus' Digivice. Marcus look back and saw Agumon, "Wait, what are you doing out here?"
"I couldn't get used to being inside that cramped Digivice, boss!" Agumon complained
Then Yoshino sighed, "You're a real piece of work. There aren't any normal Digimon who'd leave the Digivice on their own." Then she gasped, "Could it be you who attacked those pens?"
"It can't be. Riolumon said he never left the room." Anya tried to explain but was ignored
"What?" said Agumon
"It's not him, nor Riolumon." Lalamon spoke from Yoshino's Digivice
"Lalamon?" Yoshino spoke while looking at Digivice
"While you were sleeping, I kept guard over them the whole night. Agumon didn't take a single step out of the room and Riolumon was with Anya." Lalamon explained
"Lalamon watched over Agumon and Riolumon all night? ...Did she hear everything what Riolumon and I said before?" Anya thought while blushing
Lalamon continued, "So another Digimon must've done it!"
"Lalamon's right, Anya! I can sense a Digimon here. Can you sense it as well?" Riolumon asked
"Yeah I can definitely sense another aura here and it ain't Agumon's that's for sure." Anya answered back to Riolumon
Then Agumon said, "So, boss, that means..."
"Yeah!" Marcus smirked
"We can give 'em a good thrashing once again!" Both Marcus and Agumon shouted when putting their fists in the air.
"We are right with ya Marcus." Anya stated as Riolumon nods her head in agreement
Yoshino just look at them with a sweat drop.
Then the school bell rings and every child and teacher started to go inside of the school building.
"Let's go, Takashi." Kristy said to Takashi
Takashi nodded and follows Kristy back to classes.
Then Marcus steps out from behind the building, waves his arms and shouted, "Kristy! We'll beat those punks who messed up those cages, okay?"
"Yeah we'll make sure that they'll know they can't mess around here!" Anya shouted
Yoshino and including Kristy just look at Marcus and Anya like they were crazy.
At night time, near the pens of elementary school...
Yoshino, Marcus, Anya and the Digimon cook out a plan to trap the Digimon. Marcus was locking the pens... with Agumon inside of one.
"Wait! What are you doing, boss!" Agumon cried
"They say the criminal returns to the scene of the crime, right? When he finds out there's still prey inside, I'm sure he'll strike again." Marcus explained
"Wow! You're so smart, boss!"
Then Anya spoke, "Um... You do know he's using you as bait, right?"
"WHAT! I'm bait?" Agumon shouted
Marcus tries reassure his Digimon, "Don't worry! I'll make sure to beat 'em down before that!"
"Will things really go that well?" Yoshino groaned
Few minutes later...
Everyone, except Agumon, Anya, and Riolumon waited behind the shelter while Agumon waited in the pens and Anya and Riolumon waited up in one of the trees.
"I can't stand you, boss... You even locked the door..." Agumon whined
Then, after the clouds covers the moon, a dark figure appears. The figure walks towards the pens.
"Here he comes." Marcus whispered
The figure stops in front of the pens that Agumon is in. Then clouds began to moved away from the moon. Everyone held their breath. The moonlight reveal the face... It was boy who watched the pens.
"Isn't that Kristy's friend?" Yoshino asked
"Takashi!" Marcus replied
"What's he doing here-wait something isn't right his aura is different from this morning." Anya whispered
"He's seen Agumon!" Lalamon spoke
Then Yoshino groaned, "This is the worst!"
Then Marcus got up and went to Takashi, "Hey Takashi!" The boy looked at Marcus. "What are you doing out so late? Did you come to check on the cages?" Takashi didn't answer him. "Hey! Say something!"
Then Takashi shouted, "Shut up!"
"What was that?" Marcus growled
"Wait!" Anya spoke and jumped out of the tree with Riolumon right behind her and they ran towards Marcus with Yoshino behind. "Something's weird about him! His aura is not the same as it was this morning. There's a dark aura surrounding him instead of a more calm one."
Then the boy said, "I... Didn't want to take care of those animals! I wished they would just disappear! And then, this guy..." After he said that, a big yellow bug with blue lightning bolts on it's body appears on the boy's head.
Anya, Marcus, Yoshino and the Digimon gasped in fear. The yellow bug jumps off of the boy and landed on the ground while the boy fell unconscious.
"So he's criminal!" said Marcus while Anya looked at the child
"Is that Kunemon?" Anya asked while staring at the bug Digimon.
"That's Kunemon alright. Kunemon: Rookie Level Larva Digimon. A virus type. Kunemon has lightning-patterns all over its body, and although it is uncertain whether the lightning-patterns on the portion considered its face can are organs equivalent to eyes, because they change shape in in accordance with its emotions, it is said that they probably are eyes. Its personality is fairly malicious and his attacks are: Speeding Thread and Electro Thread." Riolumon explained
"That bug will pay for that!" Marcus shouted and was about to fight
However, Yoshino blocks his way, "Stay back. D.A.T.S. will take over from here." She took out her Digivice. "Lalamon, Realize!"
Lalamon comes out, "La...la...mon! Seed Blast!" Her attacks hit near Kunemon, but was still standing.
"Speeding Thread!" Kunemon shoot out a long silk thread at Lalamon and trap her in it.
"Lalamon!" Yoshino shouted in worry
"Oh no!" Anya cried then looked at Riolumon
"We have to help them Riolu!"
Riolumon then ran up towards Lalamon to free the plant Digimon. Her tail then began to glow and it turned silver, "Iron Blade!" she spun around and swung her tail to slice the thread off of Lalamon. Lalamon was about to hit the ground, but the wolf Digimon grabbed her and landed on the ground.
Yoshino went to Lalamon and Riolumon to see if her partner is okay.
"That creep!" Marcus growled
"Boss! Get me outta here first!" Agumon shouted through the pens
"Right!" Marcus responded
However, he couldn't remember the combination of the lock.
"Lalamon, time to digivolve!" Yoshino spoke. Then her hand were cover with pink digital partials. "DNA... Charge!"
"Lalamon digivolve to... Sunflowmon!" Lalamon is now a huge sunflower with two leaves at wings, two arms, a tail and two legs.
"Whoa! Is that Lalamon's Champion form?" Anya wondered
"Yep! She's Sunflowmon. Sunflowmon: Champion Level Vegetation Digimon. She is the Champion form of Lalamon. A data type. If it bathes in the sun's light it becomes very energetic, and even its offensive power rises. On days when the weather is good it will also flap the leaves on its back to fly around. Furthermore, its smile is feared for its eeriness. Her special attacks are: Sunshine Beam and Smiley Binta!" Riolumon explained
"Sunshine Beam!" Her face began to glow and fires an extremely powerful blast at Kunemon.
"All right!" Yoshino cried
Then Agumon groaned, "They got all the action because you're so slow!"
"What?" Marcus growled
Anya and Riolumon just rolled their eyes and sighs.
"It's not over yet guys." Anya stated
Then everyone heard a cracking sound. It came from Kunemon. The smoke clear up and reveal a big cocoon, hatching.
"No way... It's digivolving!" said Yoshino, in fear
"Kunemon digivolve to... Flymon!" A huge wasp like Digimon came out from the cocoon, flew up into the sky and screech with anger.
"He... digivolved!" Yoshino cried
Then Anya explains, "Flymon: Champion Level Insectoid Digimon. A Virus type too! With its giant, baleful wings, it is able to fly about at ultra-high speed, and it generates an enormous Howling Noise called buzzing while in flight, completely numbing the sense of hearing of those who hear it. Its body is protected by a hard shell, and it pinches the opponent between its giant talons and brings about death with the super-powerful stinger on its tail. His special attacks are: Brown Stingers and Poison Powder."
Suddenly, Flymon flew towards Sunflowmon and Yoshino, "Poison Powder!" and released green powered over them.
Then Yoshino began groaned in pain, "What is this? My body's turning numb..." and fell towards ground, follow by Sunflowmon.
"Now he's done it!" Marcus shouted
"Boss, I'm gonna digivolve too!" Agumon shouted
"Me too, Anya!" The wolf Digimon spoke
"Right!" Marcus shouted and took out his Digivice and tries to summon his Digisoul, but nothing happens...
"What's wrong, boss?"
"I don't know! I'm not getting that hot, burning feeling!" said Marcus
"While you figure that out I'm gonna try to keep Flymon occupied. As long as I am alive no innocent life will be taken or injured I will protect them even if I have to sacrifice my own in order to save thousands I will do it! Riolumon its time to Digivolve!" Anya said as the screen on her Digivice turned white and emitted a high pitch sound and Riolumon began to glow again.
"Riolumon Digivolve to. . . NightWolfmon!" NightWolfmon cried out as she turned into a giant wolf with nine tails again floating in mid air and she began to attack Flymon in the air and Anya trying to help Yoshino and Lalamon.
"Elemental Strike!" NightWolfmon cried out as the nine tails glowed blue and NightWolfmon jumped and did a front flip and brought her tails down slashing at the Digimon and dealing great damage to Flymon. But then Flymon quickly gets away from NightWolfmon and flies towards Sunflowmon, who's still laying down, but Anya saw this and stood infront of Sunflowmon and she gets knock away with his feet instead.
"Anya! Dang it!" Marcus snarled and ran towards to where Yoshino and Sunflowmon are.
"Boss!"
"Marcus, don't!" Anya cried out weakly as she gets back up and walks back to Yoshino and Sunflowmon ready to protect them. Flymon keeps flying around the school yard and Marcus stops near Yoshino.
Yoshino groaned, "I told you to stay back! It's dangerous, so run and leave the fighting to us! And Anya you shouldn't be fighting in your condition."
"Don't be stupid!" Marcus yelled and look back at Flymon.
"I can handle anything Yoshino and if my friends and/or my family is in danger I will always be there to stand and fight to protect others. Besides I've handled much worse than this." Anya explained
"And there's no way in heck I'd turn my back to the enemy and run like a coward!" Marcus stated while Flymon flew towards Marcus. "No matter how difficult it gets, I'll stand firm without taking a step back!"
"And I'll stand by your side Marcus." Anya stated and she held his left hand with her right hand and intertwined her hand with his as she smirked at him not noticing the blush on her face.
"That's... how a man should live!" After that, both Marcus and Anya ran towards Flymon, jump towards the bug and punched Flymon the face, making Marcus's DigiSoul appear around his fist and Flymon to fly back a bit.
Marcus and Anya landed next to NightWolfmon and in front Agumon.
"It's here!" Marcus looks back at Agumon. "You want this?"
"Yeah!" Agumon smirked
"Alright then!" Marcus smiled
"Let's do this, NightWolfmon!"
"You got it Anya!"
"DNA... Charge!"
"Agumon digivolve to... GeoGreymon!"
Flymon just screeched and flew towards GeoGreymon. GeoGreymon quickly grabbed Flymon. Flymon released his Poison Power on GeoGreymon, but no effect at all. GeoGreymon just threw Flymon away from him and the wasp-like Digimon tries to fly away in the air. But then NightWolfmon flies after Flymon then her claws grew long and turn into metal. "Metal Claw Slash!" Then she slashes her claws in an X fashion the attack flew straight toward Flymon very fast and knock Flymon to the ground. Flymon hit the ground very hard, but got up and was about fly away.
However, GeoGreymon began to use his attack, "Mega Flame!"
Flymon was hit, burn up and turn into a DigiEgg.
"You got 'im!" Marcus cheered
The champion GeoGraymon went back into his rookie form and NightWolfmon went over to Yoshino and Sunflowmon and began to glow green.
"Natures Healing Light!" NightWolfmon cried out as a green sphere appeared above her head and the green sphere split into two and the spheres entered their bodies and Sunflowmon reverted back to Lalamon and any traces of poison was gone the two partners were just unconscious for now. Then NightWolfmon reverted back to Riolumon and walked back to Anya.
"They're gonna be ok. They'll wake up in a couple minutes so no worries." Riolumon explain
The Digimons, Marcus and Anya smiled at each other.
"Hey Anya would you like to hangout tomorrow?" Marcus asked Anya
Anya was taken back at the sudden question but she regained herself and replied, "I would love to Marcus."
"Then meet me at the park fountain tomorrow at noon." Marcus said
"You got it Marcus." Anya replied
Then they heard a familiar voice...
"So, your fist of fury awakens your DigiSoul. You are getting more interesting by the minute." It was the old man who gave the Digivice before.
"You're the old man who gave me the Digivice!" Marcus spoke
"This Human World must be too small for you to swing around those fiery fists of your. How about it?" The old man spoke. "In the Digital World, you'll find plenty of formidable opponents to fight to your heart's content."
"Plenty of formidable opponents..." Marcus whispered
The old man nodded at Marcus' respond and Marcus smirked.
Few hours later at D.A.T.S. . . .
"Transfer complete!"
Miki, Megumi, Yoshino, Commander Sampson and the Digimon had just transported the DigiEgg to the Digital World.
"But both cages and playground were destroyed... It took all we could to cover up the incident." Kudamon spoke
"B-But we were able to capture the Digimon, and we erased Takashi's memory..." Yoshino stuttered, trying to think positive. "So all's well that ends well, right?"
"Don't get full of yourself!" Commander Sampson shouted
"I-I'm sorry..." Yoshino looked down
Then Kudamon notice something, "By the way... Who's looking over Raptor-1 and Riolumon and Anya right now?"
"Well, actually..." Before Yoshino could finished, the door slide open, revealing Marcus, Anya, Agumon and Riolumon, smiling.
"What are you four doing here?" Kudamon asked
Marcus, Anya and the two Digimons walk inside and stood in front of Commander Sampson and Kudamon.
Marcus bow down his head towards Commander Sampson and said, "Please! Let us join D.A.T.S.!"
Then, Agumon bow his head too, "Let us join!"
"Wh-What?" Kudamon suttered
"If we join D.A.T.S. then..." Marcus explained, "...you won't have to dispose Agumon, right?"
"And Yoshino doesn't always have to look after me Uncle Marcus can do it himself. Right Marcus?" Anya asked him
"Yeah I will make sure nothing happens to her as long as I'm there to beat up anyone that messes with your niece sir." Marcus stated
Commander Sampson just stare at them for a second and smiled, "Very well." Everyone gasped.
"Marcus Damon, I figured you would come to us one day. And Agumon, starting today, you will be accepted as a member of D.A.T.S. and you better make sure Anya stays safe."
Marcus and Agumon look at each other and smiled.
"We did it, boss!" Agumon cheered
"Yeah! Now we can fight against strong guys as much as we want!" Marcus smirked
"...Is that all they think about, Anya?" Riolumon asks her partner
"That's what I think about too sometimes." Anya replied she just smiles at the two.
Meanwhile on a plane. . .
A blond hair boy was sitting near a window, watching through the glass. Then blue, dog-like creature with red boxing gloves walk over to the boy...
"Sir, we'll be landing shortly."
"Thank you." The boy replied
"It's been a while since I've last seen it... Mother's homeland, Japan."
