Episode 2

Rook stared at the window.

His partner and their demon should have been back by now with their latest haul, having gone to get their master more reading material to study.

"What's taking them so long?" he thought, making a quick glance at his watch. For as late as it was, the sasquatch had grown used to it. And yes, you read that right.

"Is there a problem with that?!" Rook accused and received no response. He returned his gaze back to his book, only to return his gaze back towards the window. Even that quickly came boring, having stared through the pane of glass for god knows how long. He made his way towards the door, grabbing his shotgun and headed out. "Sometimes you just have do it yourself."

Outside, darkness's grip held on tightly, constantly awaiting for the coming of light to take it away once more. As such, all sorts of riff-raff had decided to make it's presence known to whoever could hear them.

"Hey, do you have the sack?"

Rook turned around, finding an apple floating in mid-air.

"No." Rook answered and unloaded a quick burst into the fruit. The apple then fell to the ground, only for a couple of his comrades to hover over.

"He got Honeycrisp!"

"Tell Bill the deal with Evergreen is still on."

The group of fruit then pulled out a variety of futuristic knives and guns, only to be hit by the combination of a spiral of books and green toxic spray.

"Took you two long enough." Rook added, watching as a large pink bird wearing a scholar cap and a small green turtle approach him. "Got the stuff?"

"Yes, my lord." the bird remarked and pulled a sack over. "Can we feast now?"

Rook held his hand to his forehead. For as much as he found his digimon and demon lord useful, sometimes it didn't seem that way.

"Biyomon Hakase, intel." the sasquatch then whispered and the pink bird nodded.

Dark Intel!

A green spiral shot out of the bird's mouth, slamming into the far left apple.

"Sir, they are members of the Red Fruit Gang." Biyomon Hakase explained, only for Rook to smash the butt of his gun into another apple.

"Good to know." Rook responded, his gaze focusing on his first partner. "Letorramon, show them your stuff."

The turtle digimon then nodded, only to suddenly crack a smile.

Toxic Spray!

Letorramon then opened his mouth, puking out a purple spray onto the pieces of fruit. All that remained a few seconds later, were a couple of rotten cores.

"Good work."

The trio turned around, finding a teenage boy dressed as a police officer standing before him. Strangely, the only defining feature of him was short sandy blonde hair and hollow blue eyes.

"And you are?"

The boy only laughed and clasped a pair of handcuffs onto their hands and feet. After, the world began to twist around them in beautiful kaleidoscopic effect, only for blackness to steal it away.

When they awoke, the trio found themselves in the air bubble prison from the previous chapter.

After waking up and making sure all his bones were still in place, Rook turned his attention to Biyomon Hakase. The grand demon lord had to have some sort of info on this place.

"Biyomon Hakase?" the sasquatch whispered, poking at the currently sleeping pink bird.

"Yes, M'Lord?" Rook only sighed, following it up with a deep breath. "Oh yes, where are we and why were we captured. No information can be gleaned."

The bigfoot gunman slammed his head against the bubble, muttering something under his breath.

"Join the crowd." Rook then turned around, coming face-to-face with a pair of cloaked figures. Beside them, a gloveless light blue gatomon sat impatiently. In a way, it probably didn't want any part of this. "'John Smith' and Harmony."

"Which one of you is which?" Letorramon joked, only to find a halberd pointed towards his neck. "Uh… never mind?"

"Exactly." Harmony answered, making her weapon disappear. Afterwards, Police Jr then walked in.

"Good, you guys are already buddy-buddy!" he announced, only to get multiple death glares from his captives. "Oh, I guess not."

"Let us out!" the teen only ignored them, cracking a smile.

"Only one of you currently has a weapon in their possession. I doubt any of you are willing to work together. Possibly once all seven sins have gathered, but not at all now."

"Are you seriously going to initiate Gennai?" 'John' remarked, only for Rook to glare at him. "What?"

"Do you have to masquerade as a member of the dark blades?" Rook answered and got closer to John.

"Yes."

John then formed a ball of red energy in his hands and began to juggle it around. Rook only watched this pathetic attempt of juggling, possibly ready to kill the boy.

"At the very least, you're doing alright, FrostGatomon." Biyomon Hakase greeted, with the other side of the conversation actually perking up.

"Same here, Biyomon Hakase." FrostGatomon answered, giving his ears a quick lick. "Have you heard from Lust or Sloth yet?"

"I have from Lust, but not even a peep from"

"He was always slow on the update anyhow."

The two then laughed, deciding to continue ignoring their respective masters. In a way, it had been too long since the two grand demon lords had seen each other. Ever since 'they' had fallen and Evergreen had risen to power, things hadn't quite been the greatest of times for them. Their once quite large and powerful armies had been reduced to dust. The greatest of their personal warriors now laid six feet under. Heck, the Jester had even offered to make a deal with them. But, they had refused her help, believing that they still had a chance to weather through this storm. Judging by their current situation, they probably should have taken that offer.

"Ready for your first mission?" the jailor finally broke silence, with everyone breathing a sigh of relief."

"What do you think?" John announced, now finding his pistol in his hands. Along with that, Rook found himself carrying his shotgun once more.

"Fine then." a portal then appeared under their feet, sucking them in...

Notes:

I'm not going to lie to you. I really had no clue where this was going to go. But after thinking about it for a couple of days, I have made my decision.

You know how in Persona 3, you can have a dog and a robot girl in your team? Well, what if the whole team were like that?

Yes, that is what I'm going with. A wacky over-the-top sort of romp with a few hints of serious along the way.

Other than that, I hoped you enjoyed. If so, please review. It really does help.
