Chapter Four: Hikasho.

"Sir, we have ten minuets till we reach our destination."

"Excellent Gaomon, hey new guy, you still back there?" Nate turned around to see if he could still see me, he couldn't. "If you're still trying to run and hide with your new partner and I find you, you'll wish you never found that website." Nate turned back around and the look on his face, priceless, he screamed when he saw me and Koromon looking back at him smiling, I guess he wasn't expecting that.

"If you ever do that again, I'll-"

"You'll what?"

"Gaomon warp digivolve to Machgaogamon!" I peed myself, not lying, he was huge, as tall as my house with big metal gloves and a jetpack and everything else I saw in the TV series.

"That's what, now apologize to me for startling me."

"Sorry, I was just trying to have fun."

"You call that fun?"

"Yes and so do I Nathanial." Amanda looked mad. "you never treated me and Renamon like this when we met."

"You were my only hope of getting a team Amanda, and I just don't want him to end up like Hikasho. Or have you forgotten so soon?"

"That would be a memory that I would appreciate you letting me forget Nati boy."

"Who's Hikasho?" I was too late; they were arguing about memories and I had no part in this squabble yet.

"Sir, we reached the headquarters"

"This is the headquarters for the data squad?" A rundown old shack with holes in the ceiling and nothing in it.

"It's under the shack genius. Just step on the floor so I can get us in." I stepped into the shack and before I could ask another question I was screaming and falling and laughing all at the same time. I landed in the most high tech and well put together room that I have ever laid my eyes upon, huge monitors, one for each of the 7 keyboards, and tiles all over the place. It was like I had died and went to nerd heaven.

"So, this is the one who received the call and got his own Digimon eh?" a strange old man with a big white beard and bushy eyebrows came and greeted me.

"Yes granddad and I would appreciate it if you didn't bother him, father this is the one we waited for, he got a Koromon just like Hikasho and he already managed to get it to digivolve to Agumon. I think I'm finally ready to go back to the digital world to save him."

He was a tall man, I'd say about an inch taller then me, with black hair, a medium built body, a black trench coat and sunglasses. "Excellent, but can the Agumon warp digivolve to Wargreymon yet?"

"No."

"Then he needs more time in order to be perfectly ready."

"OK that's it, I want answers and I want them now! Who is Hikasho, what's goin down in the digital world, and where is the bathroom in this place?" I couldn't help but ask, I had to go really badly.

"Bathrooms are on the first door to your left." I left, felt better, and then came back. "I'll start from the beginning. Back when Digimon were first created as a small time pocket pet like the ones you see today. They were originally going to make a flash drive apt that would allow you to go online to a Digimon fan site when something went wrong, the Digimon popped up on the screen and began eating the data on the computer. We tried to access a program to delete it but It out smarted us and ran away into the internet, it was the first virus and the first Digimon created into existence, Keramon, rookie level, virus type. We tried everything to track it down, search engines, traps made up of large data, and even a printer. We haven't seen it since, were afraid that it might have found a website large enough to feed into a digivolution. But we did find out very quickly that it created others like it, more Digimon, to fight us off. The data squad was created in order to hold the line between the digital world and the real world."

"The digital world was created by a Digimon?"

"Yes, and don't interrupt. Over time Digimon were starting to rebel against their dark master and began to fight along side us, using our power to help them digivolve. Each member of the original data squad had only one Digimon partner. Now, in order to keep up with the large amount of evil, agents are allowed to have up to four."

"Who's your Digimon partner sir?"

"That would be me kiddies!" The smell that filled the room was enough to peal the paint off the walls if there were any, I turned to see Amanda and Nate already had nose plugs on "My name is Platinumsukumon." He looked like a whippy dip made of silver and smelled like a garbage truck, I almost passed out at the smell, it was gross.

"Thank you for asking Ian, any way as I was saying the television show known as Digimon was created in DATS Japan in order to keep suspension off us and to keep parents from listening to their children when they accidently see Digimon in the real world. It's been ten years since that day and now it is time for a new team for DATS Ohio, Nate, Amanda, and Hikasho were selected to be the original three, but Hikasho wanted to use his Digimon partner to rule over those who had treated him wrong, he resigned and ran with his partner, we haven't seen him since."

"I hope he's OK."

"I hope he got hit by a bus."

"Nate!"

"Amanda, you're thinking it to and you know it! He doesn't deserve to keep his partner for what he did!"

"What did he do?"

"Hikasho forced his Digimon partner to digivolve and kill innocent people."

"He did it to 'Make them pay for the way they treated him'"

"His partner was to strong for Nate and me, he wasn't himself, as if someone else was in his body. Your not going to do that to your partner, will you Ian?"

I turned and looked at my new found partner Agumon as he was playing with Gaomon and Renamon "Don't worry, I won't."

"That's what Hikasho promised."

"Nate!!!!"

"It's OK, just so I know, who was Hikasho's partner?"

"That's not important, what is important is that you get that Agumon to mega level and finally we'll be able to beat Hikasho and save him from himself."

"I still want to know!"

"Fine, Amanda, you tell him!"

"Ian, Hikasho's partner was Black Agumon."
