"Analogmon Syndrome Pt. 2"
Julian walked down the street toward his apartment. His face stuck in a newspaper. He was in a reasonable mood, since yesterday was the anniversary of the death of one of his old students, and though you might think that would be a painful experience for a teacher, it made Julian feel reasonably good.
"Hmm, let's see what's in local news…" Julian flipped through the pages too the local section, when suddenly he heard something from above. Julian looked up too see a tiny leaf flutter down and landed on his feet. He picked it up and examined it, then crushed it in his hand. He chuckled a bit and walked on.
High above, on the roof of a small apartment building, Shurimon and Yolei looked down on Julian as he walked along the street. An expression of grim determination on there faces.
As Julian walked, he got the feeling of being watched. He looked around but saw no one. He walked a bit further, then stopped on a sewer grate.
"I Know someone is following me, come out and show yourself." Julian said aloud, though not loud enough too draw attention of the people standing around. He waited a few minutes, then continued onward.
Below in the sewer, Cody had been watching Julian from the grate he was standing on, down in the murky sewage sat submarimon.
"Cody, couldn't we follow him topside," Submarimon moaned, "I'm bound to get a rash from this raw sewage."
Cody walked over to his friend, patted him and smiled.
"Sorry Submarimon, but you know this is the only way we can travel by sea in the city, and beside we drew straws and we were the ones who got to follow him underground."
Cody climbed into Submarimon and they continued on their way.
Julian continued to walk, when he came to the front of an ice cream parlor a tiny white cat came out of no where, Julian looked at it, its paws had several scars on them. Julian crossed the street to the fish mart and came back with a small anchovy. He dangled it above the cat.
"You want it?" Julian taunted and chuckled.
The cat meowed and reached for it, Julian then promptly threw it into the street.
"Go get it!" Julian walked along laughing.
After Julian Crossed the street, Kari, TK, and Davis came out of the ice cream shop, Kari handed Gatomon her gloves and tail ring.
"What a major creep." Davis said, looking across to Julian, who had just entered his apartment building.
"Yeah," Gatomon said, standing upright, "I don't even like anchovy's."
"Well, I just emailed Ken, the rest is up to him and stingmon." TK said looking up to the apartment.
Julian stepped off the elevator and walked to his apartment. When he walked in, he noticed the window was wide open.
"Hmmm… I don't recall leaving that open." Julian shrugged and went too close it.
Julian looked around, He prided himself on his excellent house keeping skills, his entire house was immaculately clean and fresh. The walls were lined with diplomas and awards he had won, Julian walked over to the kitchen and made himself a sandwich, then walked back to the living room to his chair. When he went to sit in his chair, he saw Ken sitting in it.
"Took you long enough didn't you?" Ken said flatly.
Julian just stood there. "Who the hell are you?"
Ken's eyes narrowed. "You have the nerve to ask me that… You killed my brother, and you have the nerve to ask me who I am? You of all people."
Julian let out a cold laugh, "I killed your brother, you have any idea how little that narrows it down? Ive killed a lot of peoples brothers, what makes you so special?"
Ken just smiled and snapped his fingers, suddenly Julian felt a sharp poking sensation in the back of his neck. In the mirror on the far wall, he saw stingmon standing right behind him.
"So yourself a favor," Stingmon snarled, "Don't move."
Julian smile faded and he sighed. "I knew one day Gennai would send one of you foreigners out to finish me off. So hurry up and kill me so we can be done with it."
Ken stood up, "Gennai didn't send me, this is between you and me."
"Oh, I see, well then who are you then?" Julian said.
Ken just stared Julian in the eyes.
"My name is Ken Ichijouji"
Julian gasped a bit, but then began to chuckle and laugh. The laughter enraged Ken, he felt his blood boiling with each chuckle.
"What's so funny?" Ken snarled.
"Oh nothing, just disappointed that your brothers brains didn't rub off on you."
Julian raised his hands above his head and clapped three times, suddenly a handle on a chain fell from the ceiling, Julian leapt up and grabbed it just as the floor became electrified, knocking Ken and stingmon both unconscious. Julian then jumped down and sneered.
"Just like your brother: Brash, conceited, easily defeated, and ultimately… forgotten".
Julian pulled out a gun and pointed it at Ken's head.
"Good bye Mr. Ichijouji, say hello to your brother for me, WHEN YOU SEE HIM IN HELL."
Julian pulled the trigger and…
"DOUBLE STAR!"
Suddenly Shurimon's giant star crashed through a window, knocking the gun from Julian's hand. Julian looked up in horror too see Shurimon, Digmon, Angemon, Gatomon, and EX Veemon leap through the window. Panicked Julian ran into another room and closed the door behind him. Yolei rushed to Ken's side.
"Oh Ken…" Yolei hugged Ken and held him in her lap as he came too.
"Ken!" Yolei smiled as Ken sat up, "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine Yolei, but where is Julian?" Ken said.
"We have him cornered in the next room.' Davis said, helping Ken to his feet.
"Then lets get him!" Ken said.
All together, the digimon burst through the door, only to find a simple computer on a desk. Julian's face was on the monitor.
"I underestimated you useless humans, but it won't happen again." Julian snarled hatefully.
"What's your problem anyway?" Cody said, glaring at the monitor.
"My problem is you stupid humans! Your outsiders, invaders, you have no place here in our world, contaminating our realm with your weakness. Id would rather see this world ruled by the dark masters than see it saved by outsiders like you."
"Yeah, Gennai told us about you yesterday." Kari said, "You were the one who betrayed Gennai and the others to the dark masters, it's because of you poor Gatomon ended up as the slave of Myotismon."
"Yep that's right."
"And there's more" TK said, "You also created the dark network and the black gears, you even unleashed Diablomon onto the Internet."
"Oh you flatter me." Julian bowed.
"And…" Ken said through gritted teeth, tears swelling up in his eyes, "You killed my brother Sam."
"Yeah? What are you gonna do about it, tell you what, I'm waiting for you at infinity mountain. Come and get me if you can."
"Yeah?" Davis said, "You just made a big mistake buddy, what you fail to realize is that your dealing with the digidestined."
Julian laughed again, "And what YOU fail to realize is that the floor beneath you is loaded with C-4." With that, the screen went blank, and a countdown with 3 seconds appeared on it.
"Let's get out of here!" Kari Yelled, The DD scrambled and managed to make it out the window before the building blew. The DD landed safely on the ground and their digimon returned to rookie form.
"Right, so now we know where he is… Infinity mountain. Let's go there and finish him off once and for all." Ken said. The other digidestined yelled "YEAH!" in unison and raised their fists in the air.
Meanwhile, in a secret bunker deep inside Infinity Mountain, four shadowy figures stood before Julian.
"Did they survive?" One of the forms said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they did." Julian said. Folding his arms.
"That means they'll be here soon." A second form said with a hint of enjoyment in his voice.
"Yes, so lets get ready for our guests then." Julian chuckled. Then he and the other digimon walked outside to wait for the DD.
Oh my, this is exciting isn't it? Who are the evil digimon? What dirty tricks does Julian have up his sleeve? Tune in tomorrow for part three of "Analogmon Syndrome." For the big battle.
