As I'm going back to work tomorrow I'm going to attempt to upload on Sunday's. Fear not, more OC's from the readers shall appear soon.


Will stared at himself in the mirror in the small cabin, although he had just woken up from a Digital gate, his hair had kept growing. Alex allowed him the chance to finally shape up his appearance. His hair had been trimmed back to a well kept style, but still enough for a fringe. He frowned at the odd grey hairs that invaded the rest of his dark brown hair. His chaotic facial hair had also been team into neat stubble. He had also finally had a chance to pick up decent clothes, a dark maroon shirt with the sleeves rolled up, pitch black combat trousers, simple walking boots would have to suffice till he got home, and a pair of black fingerless gloves. His newest addition however was the large white leather sash he had made. It hung from his belt down to his knee on the left side, it was originally his white leather coat, but when Gennai had returned it to him it was in tatters. At Alex's home he had salvaged what he could, and he had written various Digi code symbols on it, before attaching it to his belt. He finally felt more like himself. Will sighed and walked over the window with a restless pace, attempting to relax whilst watching the land speed by. After his encounter with Alex and the deal, he needed to travel north and fast. He was currently on a giant pirate ship with cannons for engines piloted by an Agumon in a pirate costume. The Digital world never ceased to amaze.

"I gotta ask again, why the weird sash thing?" Alex questioned with a hint of smugness in his voice, as he lounged against the wall on top of the bed in the cabin. Will's eyes turned to him, Alex had forced his company on Will to make sure he carried out his end of the deal.

"I already told you, it's just sentimental. It's what I do." Will stated simply, letting his hand rest on his newly repaired Digivice. His belt still felt light however, he was missing his goggles. Whilst he failed to see why they became the figure of leadership in the Digital world, he still missed them now they were gone. They had been a present from the Odaiba chosen; a specific red head in the group had found them for him.

"Sure." Alex scoffed at the notion, Will wasn't sure why but Alex had become much shorter with his answers, more sarcastic, and he seemed to enjoy it. Will turned his attention elsewhere, staring out the window. Gennai always had a habit of asking him and his friends to carry out tasks and missions for the Digital sovereigns, he never fully understood why when there were many other teams.

"You have that face again." Alex stated bluntly. Will turned and folded his arms.

"What face?" Will asked cautiously.

"The one that questions why Gennai always asks us to do work for him. Why we're now tracking some mutating virus we know nothing about." Alex smirked.

"Enlighten me then, oh wise one." Will was tired and his reply was far rougher than needed.

"Well it makes perfect sense! Gennai can't ask the Odaiba chosen because they only a few high level Digimon, but us? Well, just you for example, your old team stopped a Digimon becoming a god, twice!" Alex raised his arms with a slight smile. He was right, Will's former team had stopped a god, but the second time led to the siege of Odaiba and a battle that lasted too long.

"Then there's Trace, the American Digidestined who formed a team, and stopped a Digimon controlling time, before going on to work for Azulongmon, just like you. Elegon, well he's a hell of a fighter, single headedly defended Primary village against a group trying to rebuild the Dark Masters. Leya, oh Leya, she's a born fighter. Fought against almost every major the Digital world has seen in recent years, fought alongside you at the siege. Myself? I'm already dead; I'm a digital being, so it doesn't matter." Alex sat forward and smiled darkly.

"But do you know why he keeps asking us? Of all the teams currently in the Digital world, we're the only ones with a real track record. A team of five people from across the world, united by chance time, and time again, until Gennai said enough! And he forced us into an official team!" Alex laughed, even Will had to admit, the events that led the group to meet in the first place were not cheerful and often riddled with conflicts.

"The other teams could easily do the same jobs, with some training and trust from Gennai." Will didn't believe that one bit, but felt he should voice it anyway.

"Maybe, but after all, we're Gennai and the sovereign's agents. We should charge commission. Most Digidestined don't even believe Azulongmon exists, yet we have him on speed dial." Alex laughed ever so slightly before laying back down. Will shook his head, it never felt as if they were picked because they were stronger or had a track record. He barely trusted Gennai and barely understood himself why he kept helping the Digital being. One day he fully expected to find out Gennai had replaced them, as expendable units. Will sighed, part of him wanted to believe he was wrong, but in the years of him being a Digidestined, something in his gut told him Gennai had plans for them since then beginning.

"So, why do you want to head north? There's nothing really up there but trouble and small towns." Alex asked, rapidly changing the topic of conversation. Will turned his attention from watching the desert plains slowly transform in luscious green fields, with patches of wires spread out against the giant empty plain. Will straightened up and folded his arms.

"I need to get a new crest, so I-we're going to go visit the elders. I'm going to convince them to forge me a new crest." Alex stared at Will for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"You're just going to get a new crest from the elders? A group that have hated you since you became a Digidestined?!" Alex continued to cry with laughter.

"This is why you didn't tell Trace you're back isn't it? You know this'll be dangerous!" Alex clapped his hands together.

"Yeah." Will felt a pang of guilt. "This is a dangerous idea. They could easily turn on us and kill us, especially as I don't have a crest anymore. Plus, there's a large area affected by the virus near the sanctuary of the elders. I want to really know what we're dealing with before we pull anyone else into this." Alex stopped laughing as Will spoke, and nodded.

"Well you may as well wait for your friend to hatch again." Alex shrugged, before grinning.

"I should warn you, Leya and Elegon, the north is their turf." Alex stared Will dead in the eyes as Will frowned.

"What?" He shut his eyes and titled his back at the mention of two of his former team mates.

"They went north to help Digidestined and Digimon in the region. There are a lot of raiders, corrupted Digimon. If it's dangerous, it's here. Elegon currently protects a small town whilst Leya patrols some of the region. Last I knew, she was investigating something big and dangerous." Will smiled a little, it was good to hear his friends at least hadn't changed all that much.

"We better hope we don't run into them. Only Trace and I know about you falling into a Digital gate. We told Leya and the others you just up and left. It's going to be a great reunion!" Alex smiled and laughed. Will sighed and resumed looking out the window. Slowly but surely he was creating a risky shopping list; get crest, investigate virus, don't get caught by Leya, don't die. He gently banged his head against the window, no longer sure of which task would kill him first. Suddenly he found himself wishing he was back at his apartment, doing anything that wasn't dangerous, risky, or exciting.

"One day, I'll get a day off." He whispered quietly to himself.

"Bullshit." Alex laughed.


Light barely filtered into the large apartment until Sora pulled back the curtain, revealing the stunning view of the Odaiba marina. She turned and examined the apartment, which was completely unchanged from the last dozen times she had visited. A simple kitchen lay untouched and devoid of any food, the black leather sofas sat perfectly still in front of the large TV, and a coat rack filled with various coats and jackets gathered dust. Sora walked to the far corner of the room, her feet echoing with every step due to the wooden floor. She examined the computer, a giant hulking machine designed for far more than just basic word documents. It was a set up designed and built by Izzy to help monitor various situations in the Digital world. It was huge with multiple screens, wires, and various pieces of equipment all wired together in a giant mess. Various note pads filled to the brim with ideas and records lay scattered around the desk, untouched for months.

"Still no sign of him?" Sora turned to face Tai who promptly fell into one of the giant comfortable sofas.

"No, nothing." Sora sighed defeated. Will had given her a spare key to his place a long time ago for when he was out of town. This was different however, eight months with no word except from Alex who informed her that their group would be gone for a long time. It wasn't unlike them to work on missions for Gennai and others, but going this long without contact was new for them, especially Will.

"You know how it is, Will and the others are probably just stuck rebuilding some half broken temple and he's going home when he can. His actual home." Tai shrugged, he fully understood how Gennai treated Will's team as he worked with them for a short time.

"He always spent more time here than home though." Sora sat down in the large office chair Will kept by his desk. Although Will was from across the globe, he spent a lot of time in Odaiba, even going as far as buying an apartment. Sora's eyes fell upon one of the few framed pictures in the apartment, it was one she had a copy of herself. It was a big group picture of the Odaiba chosen and Will's team, along various others who had fought together during the siege of Odaiba. After the siege was over and the city had recovered, everyone had a reunion dinner, she lost track of just how many people came from across the world but she was grateful for every single one. The picture next to it caught her attention as the light just began to catch it, it was a simple picture but it took the centre of the mantle. It was a simple picture in a heavy wooden frame but she knew it well, it was the picture she had taken with his team. All of them, Will, Trace, Alex, Leya, Elegon, and herself with Tai and Matt. Will's team had always stayed close, occasionally appearing at social events but all of that changed months ago when they all vanished without trace, except for an email from Alex. Her eyes came across the framed fragments Will's broken crest and her stomach turned.

"He should have asked us for help." Sora said sternly, her eyes fixed on the shattered crest. Tai frowned as he rested his hands behind his head.

"Does Matt know you have a key to Will's place?" He raised one eyebrow inquisitively. Sudden knocking at the door broke the moment as Sora and Tai exchanged a look at one another. Tai quickly rose to his feet.

"Who else knows where Will lives?" Tai asked as quietly as possible.

"Outside of the Digidestined, almost no one." Sora said, but she could no longer be sure. The knocking became more and more rapid.

"Will you better open the fucking door if you're there! Will!" The voice shouted angrily.

"I know that voice!" Tai said as he opened the door. There on the other side stood a well built young man in grey combat trousers and a black polo shirt that had been caked in red dirt, it had even buried itself into his dark skin. He was breathless as he moved some of his black dreads out of his face.

"Tai?" He asked curiously.

"Elegon!" Tai greeted the Digidestined happily, almost pulling him in for a hug until he noticed the red dirt.

"Is Will here?" He asked, straight to the point. Elegon's eyes searched the empty apartment quickly.

"You don't know where he is either?" Sora asked, the growing pit of worry ever increasing.

"No. I haven't heard from him in months." Elegon shut his eyes and raised his head to the ceiling.

"Fuck, I could really use his help." He slowly began to catch his breath.

"What's going on?" Tai asked, cutting straight to the point. Elegon considered the two of them for a moment, weighing up his options.

"I've sent out email and message after message asking him and others for help but we're struggling. In the Northern region a group of Digimon have been causing chaos, they've attacked other Digidestined in the area, they're hunting for something but they're strong. Really strong. Right now it's just me and Leya holding them back when we can but we need the others." Elegon sighed, he was exhausted and it had been weeks since he had a proper rest.

"We can help." Tai instantly stated.

"No. You shouldn't. Gennai has sent help and sealed most of the Digital gates in the area to stop Digidestined reaching the area. It's only a small group of Digimon, but it's who is leading them is the issue. Will and Trace were the only ones who could deal with him before. You'd do more to help us by staying here and trying to find Will. Last I heard he was here in Odaiba somewhere." Elegon quickly looked at his Digivice and shook his head.

"Who is it?" Sora asked as she handed Elegon a glass of water that he accepted gratefully and drained it in seconds.

"I can't say, really, I can't." Tai shook his head.

"I always hated how hush hush your group was." Tai frowned, his temper close to snapping.

"We can handle it, you've worked with us before, but for this one we need Will." Elegon stood up completely and locked eyes with Tai.

"Don't even think of fighting, it wouldn't help anyone. The best thing we could do is find Izzy and ask if he can find the signal of Will's Digivice, sound good?" Sora watched as both young men nodded, they recognised it was less of a suggestion and more of an order. The feeling of worry in her stomach had grown, she knew that there were small conflicts going on in the Digital world but it had never been something Gennai was unable to handle. She glanced over at the photo of Will and Elegon's team and quietly hoped they could handle whatever was happening.


Elegon is owned by Elegon. Fear not, there will be action soon.
