FACTS OF LIFE: THE BLUE GRAVITY GUN RULES, I DON'T OWN DIGIMON, CROWBARS MAKE BETTER WEAPONS THAN FISTS, AND THE UNIVERSE IS FALLING TO PIECES. DONG MA?
*cue Gouing*
MARCUS/AGUMON: Digital World, Here we come!
DATS' HQ_ _ _|
Thomas Sighs. Commander Sampson will regret not sending me after Drimogimon...
He cleverly opens the Door on the other side of the room, drawing Yoshi and Lalamon out.
"Sorry, My friends." He closes the door, and ignores the pounding on the other side.
Gaomon frowns from inside the digivice. If we just knew why mine and Agumon's attacks canceled each other out...Maybe Drimogimon wouldn't have escaped...
"HEY! Let me in!"
"We've been locked out!"
"OPEN THIS DOOR IMMEDIATELY!"
Thomas grimaces as the Digital Dive powers up.
"LET ME IN!"
The DATS Agent walks into the device, and lets it's energies absorb him.
"SEED BLAST!"
"THOMA---!" The DATS Main room vanishes from Thomas' eye sight in a burst of data.
DAMON RESIDENCE_ _ _|
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing~! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing~!
Marcus growls as he answers his Bedside phone. "...H'lo...?" His sleep deprived eyes snap open as he sits up dramatically. "HE DID WHAT!!?"
DATS HQ_ _ _|
"Thomas did a Digital Dive?!" Marcus asks, shocked enough to hear it in person, then slams his fist into his hand. "I'll teach him to be sneakier than me!"
"What was he thinking?" Lalamon asks. "the Digital Dive hasn't been tested on Humans yet!"
"There!" Yoshi smiles as her computer terminal beeps. "I've got his Digivice signal!"
"How'd you do that?" Agumon asks.
"Tracers." Is her reply. "We send them through every now and again to keep an eye on the political situation of the Digital world...In this case I'm just scanning for his Digivice!"
"and it says he's alive!" Lalamon sighs in relief...
...DOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo.....
...Marcus frowns as the Tracer's signal is lost. "Now that's just got to be intentional."
Yoshi sighs. "We've got to get him back somehow..."
"I'll go after him." Marcus volunteers. "I'll do a Digital Dive."
Yoshi sighs. "There's no talking you out of this?"
"Nope." Agumon and Marcus grin.
Moments later...
"I'm sending you to where we lost the Tracer's lock on Thomas. Just bring him back and don't do anything stupid, okay?" Yoshi sighs as Marcus and Agumon enter the Digital Dive.
"Make sure you're both at the point of entry by oh five hundred okay? Or else we can't bring either of you back." Lalamon concludes.
"I'm not stupid, ya know." Marcus sighs as he glances to his digivice's clock 12:08 A.M. "I wish I had a crowbar right about now..."
"I wish I had some fried eggs!" Agumon pokes his partner in the side.
"Here we go..." Yoshi says as the orange glow of the digital dive fills the darkened room. "Good luck out there."
"Thanks." Marcus nods.
"DIGI-PORT: OPEN!" Lalamon cries out.
Marcus and Agumon digitize away in a flash, and the room returns to it's normal darkness.
DIGITAL WORLD_ _ _|
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH........................!!!!!"
THUD!
Marcus blinks. "Woah...what a weird place..."
"AHH! BOSS! The sky and ground switched places!"
Marcus looks over to Agumon, who was doing a head stand. "No...you're the one who's upside down..."
...
"My first time in the digital world." Marcus looks around the earth like environment.
"Mine too!" Agumon's eyes are wide in excitement.
"But you're a digimon!"
"True, but I've been at DATS as long as I can remember!"
...
Marcus takes a leaf off of a nearby plant. "It doesn't look like I Imagined it..."
Agumon hops up from behind several rocks. "LOOK WHAT I FOUND!"
Marcus walks over to find a river.
"What funny water..." Agumon comments as their reflections in the water pixel-ate and return to normal.
"I get it...Everything's made up of Data!" Marcus smiles.
"LOOK!"
Marcus looks up to the sky, where several Airdramon fly in a V formation. "Flying dragons..."
"Look!" Agumon points at several Tsunomon.
"Neat!"
"What are those?!"
"Yokomon." Marcus rolls his eyes. "Now, come on, we're not here for sight seeing!"
"Right! We'll find that mole and blast him to oblivion!" Agumon grins.
"What about thomas?" Marcus asks.
DATS_ _ _| REAL WORLD_ _ _|
"Forget about Thomas!" Yoshi mimics Marcus. "Let him find his own way home!" She huffs, and crosses her arms. "What's stopping him from saying that?"
"I don't think marcus would ever say that!" Lalamon starts.
DIGITAL WORLD_ _ _|
"I say we forget him!" Agumon smirks. "Let him find his own way home!"
"But we're here to find him. Not to fight this time." Marcus reminds. "and another thing..."
"What's that?!" Agumon points at a glass/ice like sculpture in the distance.
"Looks like a castle of some sort." Marcus shrugs. "Let's go."
"But boss..." Agumon starts. "Some-thing's coming!"
"Huh?" Marcus looks over his shoulder. "What...?"
The ground underneath Agumon and Marcus explodes away, revealing...
"Heheh....You thought you could catch me too?"
...Drimogimon!
"What the...!?" Marcus pulls a back flip, landing behind the behemoth.
"Nuh-uh! You found us!" Agumon comments.
"Oh..." Drimogimon sweat drops. "Right...."
Silence.
"Weeeeeell..." The mole scratches his head. "This is kinda awkward. But..."
"Out with it already!" Marcus growls.
"GOTTA GO!" Drimogimon jumps over Agumon, and dives again.
"WAIT!" Marcus shouts as Agumon dives after the Mole. "This is the worst..."
He jumps after his partner into the tunnels.
REAL WORLD_ _ _| DATS_ _ _|
"Diver Two's Signal...Has been lost!" Lalamon gasps.
"This is the worst..." Yoshi pales.
"Try expanding the parameters of your search." lalamon suggests. "Underground may work!"
"Please let me find them...!" Yoshi types furiously, not noticing the doors opening.
"Find who?" comes the commander's voice.
"Marcus, Who's after Thomas..." Yoshi explains. "Now both of them are missing and I...!" She pales again.
"In what world?" Kudamon asks from Sampson's shoulder.
Yoshi and Lalamon look at the both of them and sweat drop.
"Sever 1-13!" Yoshi lies. "It's....A..."
"Massive, Multi-Player, On-line, Roll-playing game." Lalamon finishes.
"Is that so...?" The commander raises an eyebrow.
"Ahhh..." Lalamon slowly withdraws herself from the room. "I know, Yoshi shouldn't be playing games at this hour...and...I think I left my bathtub running!"
Yoshi sighs. This is the worst...
DIGITAL WORLD_ _ _| TUNNELS_ _ _|
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Drimojimon cries as Agumon constantly blasts his back with fire.
This is the worst! Marcus sighs as he climbs down level after level, following the two digimon with a considerable lead. Since when am I the calm headed one? I get that I may act...over violent some of the time...But Still! This is crazy! Agumon's not listening AT ALL!
Soon he enters a cavern, where Agumon is trying to blast Drimogimon while he dives and surfaces and dives and surfaces again.
"It's a big game of whack-a-mole!" Marcus gasps, then jumps down to help his partner. "We've got to get out of here!"
"No way boss! This guy ran away before! And I'm not letting him do it again!" Agumon growls. "Are you with me?"
"It depends on the...!" Marcus trails off as he notices the ground starting to crack.
Drimojimon surfaces, and starts to pound the ground with his fore-paws, causing the cavern to start to collapse.
Then... Marcus and Agumon fall through the floor.
MORE AND MORE TUNNELS_ _ _|
"Ow...." Agumon sighs. "At least these rocks broke our fall!"
"More like I Broke it..." Marcus grumbles from underneath the Dino.
"YOU TWO!" comes the familiar voice of...
"THOMAS!" The "consultant" smiles. Finally, they were nearly home free...
"What are you doing here?" comes another voice...
"GAOMON!" Agumon grins. Finally, a friendly face!
"So..." Thomas starts as the two rescuers untangle themselves. "You fell for his cave in trap too?"
"Wait...You're saying that you got outsmarted by a giant gopher?!" Marcus asks.
He and Agumon burst into laughter.
"What ever...." Thomas turns to face Gaomon, and then winces.
"Hey..." marcus stops laughing long enough to notice the blood flowing down the side of Thomas' left leg. "You're hurt!"
"I don't need your help..." Thomas starts, but nearly collapses without support from the wall.
"YES YOU DO!" Marcus growls as he helps his fellow agent up. "Haven't you figured it out by now?"
"Figured what out?"
"You're too smart for your own good!" Marcus is completely serious. "You can't put aside your differences for five seconds to work together with someone who happens to be a LITTLE lower in IQ! You think that just because you've been with DATS since it's proverbial founding that you're better than me! And yet your digimon is only at champion, for as long as I've been with DATS, I've only seen CHAMPIONS. Everyone's got a long way to go before they can Change."
Thomas is at a loss for words.
"Now come on! Just because I'm the new guy, you think that I should learn everything you know! Maybe I should, Maybe I shouldn't. Maybe YOU still have something to learn from me? Have you ever thought about that?" Marcus asks. "You need to step aside sometimes, and just THINK it through. Don't let anger blind you, it only causes pain and suffering. I should know..." he sighs. "Now let's get out of here, we can argue later!" Marcus grins. "Ready to get out of here guys?"
The group starts down the tunnels, and, some time later, they come across a virtual maze of pathways.
"A fork in the road." Gaomon ponders. "How..."
DATS_ _ _| EARTH_ _ _|
"...IDIOTIC, HALF BAKED PLAN THAT IS BOUND TO FAIL?!" Sampson finishes.
"Why did you break protocol, Yoshino?" Kudamon asks.
"Technically, Thomas is the only one who's broken any rules today!" Yoshi notes. "Marcus, as a Consultant, can do whatever he pleases to solve the case. And I, as you can see, haven't left my shift all night!"
"It's true!" Lalamon adds.
Sampson frowns.
"They have a point..." Kudamon sighs.
TUNNELS, TUNNELS, AND MORE TUNNELS_ _ _| DIGITAL WORLD_ _ _|
"How come you haven't digivolved gaomon yet?" Marcus asks. "It'd save a lot of time..."
"If I Digivolved..." gaomon lightly taps the wall of the tunnel, setting the whole place into a minor tremmor center. "...There would be another collapse."
"Drimogimon has it set so that any sudden change in preassure would set a chain reaction, and burry us all." Thomas explanation cuts short as they come to another fork in the road. "Another one?"
"Let's go....That way!" marcus points to the right.
"The left is a better path to stick to." Thomas frowns.
"And look where it's gotten us so far!" Marcus bends down, and picks up a coin. "We've been Left already. And it leads back here. How come you didn't think of this?!"
"I..." his cheeks turn red as he mutters something.
"What was that?" Agumon asks.
"I said, I left my wallet at home!" Thomas growls. "I didn't think I'd need it!"
"So, right we go!" Marcus laughs lightly and pulls his fellow agent towards that path.
A few moments later...
"WHEN ARE WE GONNA GET OUT OF HERE BOSS?!" Agumon asks.
"As long as we stick to ONE SIDE and don't zig zag every time a new path comes up, we'll reach the surface in no time!" Marcus gives a thumbs up. "Don't be such a downer!"
DATS_ _ _|
The clicking was getting on Sampson's nerves. "HAVEN'T YOU FOUND THEM YET?!"
"The Tracer's can't get a lock on their digivices." Miki frowns.
"Maybe if you...!" Yoshi starts.
"SILENCE!" Sampson growls.
Kudamon sighs.
THE TUNNELS_ _ _|
Marcus sighs as they stand at a ledge over a very large tunnel. "Well... We're gonna have to jump..."
"no." Thomas crosses his arms. "We'll go back and to the left."
"Which will lead us back to that cross road again." Gaomon reminds him.
"BOSS! HE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" Agumon cheers. "Is it fightin' time yet?!"
Marcus looks down, and sure enough, there's drimogimon. "I've got a plan."
"Marcus!' Thomas shouts. "Don't you remember, we can't...!"
"Fight in the tunnels!" Marcus finishes. "Exactly my point!"
"We can't win at Rookie level! We have to...!" Thomas starts.
"NO!" Marcus walks over, pulls Thomas off of the ground, and slings him over his shoulder. "We're doing this my way!"
"But, Boss!" Agumon blinks.
"Gaomon, Follow my lead!" Marcus orders.
"Don't order my...!" Thomas starts, again.
"COWABUNGA!" Marcus builds a running start, then jumps off the ledge.
Gaomon shrugs, then charges at Agumon, Slinging him over her shoulder like Marcus had with Thomas, and jumps off the ledge.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Drimogimon shouts in supprise as Marcus and gaomon land as well as they can onto a moving target.
Thomas grabs tightly onto Drimogimon as he starts tunneling wildly. "I Told you this wouldn't work!"
"GIVE ME A MINUTE, WOULD YA?!" Marcus climbs up onto the Mole's head.
"What?" The mole stops his charge upon spotting Marcus right on top of his nose.
"Hi there!" Marcus smiles...
*SMASH!*
...as his fist impacts the mole between the eyes!
Drimogimon's drill nose spins out of control, startling him.
Marcus jumps up, snagging the fur above Drimogimon's eyes, then yanks it hard in one direction.
The Mole shrieks in supprise as his body reacts involuntarily.
"YAHOOOOOOOOOO!" Marcus cheers as the mole tunnels vertically through the dirt, and into sunlight.
"SIR! We should Jump off!" Gaomon suggests.
"HANG ON!" Marcus laughs as Drimogimon lands on the ground, but instead of tunneling, Marcus yanks the hair in his hands again, in another direction. "I want to go...THIS WAY!" The mole's body reacts by following Marcus' steering.
"Where are we going!?" Thomas asks.
"Aren't you the one who said to pick your own battle fields?" Marcus retaliates.
"LOOK!" Agumon grins as he spots the Ice/Glass fortress.
"It's made of...Crystal!" Thomas realizes as they skid through the entrance and into the main chamber. "He can't tunnel here!"
"And now...." Marcus smashes his fist into drimogimon's skull. "...It's FIGHTIN' TIME!"
*data swirl*
"Let's Do it, Boss!" Agumon worms himself out of gaomon's grip, and jumps to the ground.
EVOLUTION_ _ _|
Marcus connects his DNA charge to the Data Link's top. "DNA CHARGE!"
"AGUMON DIGIVOLVE TO!"
Data swarms and changes.
"GEOGREYMON! RAR!"
"Our Turn, Sir!" Gaomon nods.
"DNA CHARGE!"
Thomas summons his DNA charge, and sends it through his digivice.
"GAOMON DIGIVOLVE TO!"
And soon, it was two champions, versus a champion.
"GAOGAMON! RAH!"
"Go Get that Mole!" Marcus orders.
"RIGHT BOSS!" GeoGreymon charges towards Drimogimon. "HORN IMPULSE!"
DATS_ _ _| MOMENTS EARLIER_ _ _|
"Hold up!" Migumi starts. "I'm getting something..."
"Both Diver signal's are alive!" Miki cheers.
Yoshi and Lalamon sigh in relief.
Then, the alarms sound.
"What is it now?" Sampson asks.
"Drimogimon's signal!" Miki gasps.
DIGITAL WORLD_ _ _|
The Mole was tiny compared to GeoGreymon. So much so, that he could easily avoid the attack.
Then he pulled his ace card...
...Drimojimon Grew.
"great! This guy's got a growth spurt!" Marcus growls.
"DASH DOUBLE CLAW!"
Gaogamon slashes at the larger mole, but he just bats her away.
"MEGA BURST!"
GeoGreymon launches a fire blast at the seemingly unmovable target...
...That still somehow jumps over it!?
Then, Drimogimon launches his drills like missiles.
Gaogamon huffs as she runs away from the seeking missile like contraptions.
GeoGreymon throws a punch at the mole, hoping to score a hit...
SMASH!
...But hits the crystalline walls instead.
"Marcus, remember the last battle?" Thomas asks.
"Do I...? Of course I remember it!" Marcus growls. "Geogreymon's and Gaogamon's attacks canceled each other out!"
"Do you suppose, what might happen if we combine them?" Thomas asks.
"Well, I don't know...But let's find out..." Marcus grins.
"RECALL!/GET BACK OVER HERE!" The two Agents call their digimon back to their side.
"The timing has to be precise." Thomas starts. "Or else it all fails."
"When we give the signal..." Marcus smirks. "Does it really need saying?"
Drimogimon rolls to a halt, and stares at his competitors.
He shifts his foot slightly, sending a piece of crystal flying.
"ATTACK NOW"! The DATS Agents order.
"MEGA FLAME!"
Fire...
"SPIRAL BLOW!"
...And wind...
"PYRO SPINNER!"
...Work as one...
"Awesome!" Marcus grins. "A flaming tornado!"
...To defeat a common enemy.
"The opposing attacks didn't cancel out this time. The fused together!" Thomas narrates. "By combining attacks, the strength has increased significantly."
"Who cares?" Marcus asks. "All that matters is that we're winning!"
Drimogimon, who had been preparing to attack, was singed, burned, and destabilized by the fire attack in his one moment of hesitation.
In essence: he was turned into a digi-egg by the combo.
"Haha! We showed him!" Marcus laughs. "he's an egg!"
GeoGreymon and Gaogamon grin.
"HAHAHA! Man! That was great!"
DATS HQ_ _ _|
The three Agents stand before their commander.
"YOU FOOLS!" Sampson growls.
Kudamon sighs and translates. "You were able to get back THIS time, but what about the next? Or the next? Or how about the time after that?" He frowns. "If you failed...there are so many pitfalls in the digital world that even I do not understand."
"As members of this organization, you must follow the rules!" Commander Sampson cuts Marcus' interruption off. "CONSULTANT OR NOT. I have only one thing to say to you all!"
You could cut the tension with a Saw blade launched from a gravity manipulating device.
Sampson turns his back on them. "Well done."
"Wha....!!?" the Dats Agents blink.
"It's good to know you all can handle a crisis like this." He smirks, though not seen by his subordinates. "Just in case..."
"SIR!" They all salute.
MARCUS: Next time on Digimon!
"RAAAH!"
"I can't take this! I don't want to be your employee!"
"Well, I don't want to be your Boss!"
"Can you believe that guy?"
"You're a complete mystery to me, calm one second, angry the next."
"He won't escape! C'mon Agumon!... Oh Wait...
He won't come anymore... I'll just do it myself then!"
"Hmmf."
"Will they ever get over this?"
"every team has it's up's and down's."
END.
