Digimon World Wars
Chapter 10 - A New Home
Locomon continued his way towards their destination, they had left the desert and were now traveling along a grassy plain. Kiru looked out the window and could see a couple of small villages standing next to a large lake.
"We're almost there." Renamon stuck her head out the window and then sat back down.
"Do they have food, I'm starving!" Said Dorumon.
"Are you kidding, they've got everything, snacks, chinese food, burgers, pasta, pizza, fresh salads, desserts." Lavi continued to list off food, while Dorumon, Flamon, and Veemon's had rivers of drool pouring from their mouths and stars in their eyes. Even Strabimon had to wipe his mouth to hide the bit of drool that escaped it at the thought of so much different food.
"Where do they get all that food?" Duo asked.
"It's sent to us by allies across the digital world, not all places in the digital world are deserts and forests, there are lots of more modern areas too, even restaurants in this world," answered Shikamaru.
"Yeah a large part of food supplies is sent by my good friend Digitamamon," said Patamon.
"The head chef Jerry can whip up anything you want, but be warned, the guy is a little bit tough to get used too," Lavi put his hands behind his head and leaned back against his seat.
Rex looked back at the man laying on the floor at the back of the train, "What are we gonna do with him?"
Setsuna spoke, "We'll have Wizardmon interrogate him."
"Yeah Wizardmon will have this guy singing in seconds," said Lavi.

After ten more minutes Locomon began to slow down, coming to a stop.
"Alright we're here!" Lavi stood up and exited the train car with Guilmon behind him.
Kiru helped Duo up, Haru placed Veemon on Dorumon's back again, while he made the ghost man walk ahead of him, and Rex let Flamon ride on his back. Once outside they were at a loss for words, they had expected a single building as the base, but what stood before them was an entire city.
"Holy shit!" Lavi laughed at Kiru's reaction.
"Pretty cool right, but the buildings are really just for show, the real base is underneath the city," Shikamaru walked up to the edge of the city, and stopped. Patamon flew over and landed on his shoulder.
"Andromon it's me! I've brought Duo, Rex, Haru, and Kiru," said Patamon, "Lavi, Shikamaru, and Setsuna are also with me," A barrier suddenly appeared in front of where Shikamaru and Patamon stood and then began to open.
"Let's go," Shikamaru waved them in. They all filed into the city street, following after Shikamaru, Agumon, and Patamon. Shikamaru turned into one of the nearby buildings. The group followed them into a empty room. After all of them had entered the floor began to lower. The group waited as the floor dropped lower and lower until light appeared around their feet. They looked around at the large room below them. There were a multitude of high-tech looking computers and devices laid out. The devices were being monitored and worked on by robotic looking digimon.
Guardromon, Champion Level, Machine Digimon, Virus Type
Kiru noticed in one corner of the hanger stood an assortment of what looked like extremely advanced motorcycles.
As the elevator finally reached the bottom, a metal man walked up to them, "Patamon, it's great that your finally here." Patamon flew over and greeted the digimon as Haru was scanning him.
Andromon, Ultimate Level, Android Digimon, Vaccine Type
'Ultimate Level?' Haru stared puzzled at the information.
"Andromon could you please call the medical squad we have several injured," Patamon motioned towards Duo, Veemon, Flamon and Rex.
"Of course," Andromon lifted up his arm and flipped open a small screen, "medical team requested in hanger D2, four patients, two digimon, two humans." He flipped the screen back down.
"Four? Theres only three injured," said Rex while he tried to cover the blood across his chest.
"My sensors indicate that you have multiple puncture wounds along your chest," Andromon pointed to Rex, "you must have those looked at."
"He's right Rex, you need to get yourself looked at as well," said Patamon.
Rex grumbled, he wasn't a fan of doctors. Two young women pushing stretchers rushed into the hanger, followed by two cat-like digimon pushing smaller digimon sized stretchers.
Dorumon and Strabimon helped Veemon onto one, Rex helped Flamon onto another, Kiru helped Duo onto one, and finally Rex sat down grumpily on the fourth stretcher.
"Please lay down," Rex grumbled again and finally laid down. The girls and cat digimon pushed the four of them off without another word. Kiru pointed his digivice at the cat digimon as they went around a corner out of sight.
Gatomon, Champion Level, Holy Beast Digimon, Vaccine Type
"This is a man we captured from DATS," Haru pushed the short man forward.
"Guardromon please take this man to Wizardmon," a couple of Guardromon picked up the man and carried him down one of the hallways as he squirmed.
"What are they gonna do with him?" Asked Kiru.
"Wizardmon will hypnotize the man and get him to spill whatever he knows, after that he'll erase his memories of this place and we'll transport him back to the real world," answered Patamon.
"You're probably all tired from your long trip, would you like me to show you to your rooms?" Asked Andromon.
"Actually we need to get these guys some food before they eat our shoes," Kiru pointed to Dorumon and Strabimon.
Andromon, "Of course, I'll show you all to the cafeteria."
Lavi piped in, "Don't worry Andromon I'll show these guys where it's at, you're probably busy anyway." Andromon stopped and nodded. "You two coming too?" Lavi looked over at Shikamaru and Setsuna.
"Nah, me and Agumon will see you later," said Shikamaru.
"Me and Renamon have more important things to do then be tour guides," Setsuna and Renamon walked away without another word.
"Not very friendly is she?" Asked Haru.
"Whatever, forget about her, follow me guys," Lavi walked off with Guilmon, Haru, and the rest in tow. They went down long hallways passing room after room, around several corners, and down a flight of stairs. Finally they came to a large door and Lavi walked in. Dorumon was in the room as fast as the smell had hit him.
Haru followed after him, and had to restrain the purple digimon before he tackled a kid and stole his food.
"Dorumon! Calm down, I know your hungry but that's no reason to knock someone over."
"Sorry!" Dorumon looked ashamed of himself.
The kid was laughing, "Don't sweat it, if you guys get in line over there," he pointed at a small line leading up to window where a dark-skinned man wearing sunglasses, stood taking orders, "Jerry will whip up an order for ya." The kid had a blue dog digimon with boxing gloves standing next to him.
"Thanks," Haru offered his hand to the kid, "My name is Haru Glory and this is Dorumon."
The kid set his tray of food down and shook his hand. "I'm Kotaro Inugami, and this is Gaomon."
Gaomon, Rookie Level, Beast Digimon, Data Type
Haru set Dorumon down, and offered his hand to Gaomon as well, who shook it with a smile.
"Hey Kotaro, what's up?" Lavi walked up next to Haru.
"Not much, where did you disappear to?"
"You wouldn't believe it if I told ya," Lavi went into an over the top detailed account of how they had fought against the Bakemon and Soulmon, Haru noted that he exaggerated a bit on the details.
"Yo Haru, Dorumon! I thought you guys were hungry, hurry up!" Kiru was already standing in line with Strabimon. Dorumon ran over and joined them with Haru right behind him.
They had stood in line for a few seconds when a female voice sounded behind Haru, "I haven't seen you two before, did you just get here?" Haru and Kiru turned around to see a very cute girl with light brown hair that hung just above her shoulders. On her shoulder stood a white and green rabbit looking digimon that had one of its long ears wrapped around the side of her head.
She grabbed Haru's hand and shook it, "My name is Elie, whats yours?" Haru had temporarily lost the ability to process coherent thoughts, he stuttered a bit before Kiru answered for him.
"He's Haru and I'm Kiru. Nice to meet ya," Kiru had a wide grin on his face, clearly amused with how bashful his friend had become.
"Nice to meet you guys," she looked down at Strabimon and Dorumon and shook their hand and paw too.
"Hello I'm Terriermon," the white rabbit digimon jumped down in front of Dorumon and Strabimon. "What's your guys names?"
"I'm Dorumon, and he's Strabimon."
Kiru scanned Terriermon for his database,
Terriermon, Rookie Level, Beast Digimon, Vaccine Type
Elie smiled again at Haru, and Haru turned away to hide his bright red face. Kiru swung his arm around the boy's shoulder and marched him up to the head chef who was waiting for their orders. The head chef Jerry, was a very camp man, who took great joy in making their orders.
After they got their food they sat down next to Lavi and Kotaro. Dorumon and Strabimon were already putting away their large order of food. Elie walked over with Terriermon and sat down next to Haru.
"Hey Lavi, hey Kotaro!"
"Hey Elie! You seen Kankuro around lately?" Asked Lavi.
"I think he's training with Monodramon, why?"
"I need to talk to him about something, I'm gonna go see if he's still down there, come on Guilmon," Lavi and Guilmon left the cafeteria.
"So Kotaro, Elie, can you guys tell me anything about what we're doing around here?" Kiru asked taking another bite of his burger, "Besides eating some of the best damn food I've ever gotten my hands on."
"Well from what I know, they want us to train and get stronger," Kotaro answered, "they have people who are gonna teach us better control over our digisoul, combat skills, and how to unlock our weapons."
"How are they gonna teach us to use our digisoul?" Haru finally spoke for the first time since Elie showed up.
"There's a man here named Asuma who apparently has such control over his digisoul that he can extend it around his entire body," Kotaro finished talking and got back to work on his large bowl of ramen.
"Have you met all the destined yet?" Asked Strabimon, finally speaking.
"Well I was told there are twenty-two of us, and seeing as you two have digivices," Elie pointed to Haru and Kiru, "I've met twenty of them so far."
Kiru spoke, "The last two are here as well, they're in the hospital now."
"What happened to them?" Elie seemed concerned.
"We got into a pretty bad battle against a man from DATS named Striker, him and his digimon managed to injure one of our team and his digimon before we defeated him," Haru answered, "Their names are Duo and Veemon."
"And the other guys got injured fighting with a group of Bakemon and Soulmon, they're named Rex and Flamon," said Kiru. "Hey Haru we should get some food and take it up to them guys, I bet Veemon and Flamon are crying for food right about now."
Haru laughed and nodded his head, getting up and going back to Jerry to make another order.
They all finished their food as Jerry completed the order for Duo and the rest in the hospital, he even bagged it up for them and included napkins as well as all the dishes they would need.
"Could either of you two show us how to get to the hospital in this place?" Asked Kiru. Kotaro stood up having finished his food.
"Sure, me and Gaomon know where it is, follow us."
"See ya later guys," Elie waved good-bye to them as they left. Haru looked back and she smiled at him, his face became red again, and Kiru had to push him out the door.
Once again they walked down hallways and around multiple corners before coming to a large door, that had Medical written above it.
"I'll see you guys later, I gotta go find Negi," Kotaro and Gaomon walked away.
"See ya Kotaro, see ya Gaomon!" Dorumon waved goodbye to them. They walked in the room and found Duo and Rex both sitting up in bed, their torsos were heavily bandaged up, and the two nurses were insisting they lay down and rest.
"Hey guys you hungry?" Out of no where Flamon and Veemon came flying out of another room being chased by the two Gatomon, they too had bandages wrapped around their torsos just like their partners, but at the moment that pain seemed forgotten as they tried to get to the food. The two Gatomon grabbed Veemon and Flamon by their tails and dragged them back into the room.
Haru and Kiru were laughing their heads off, "You two just sit still, we'll bring it to ya," Kiru took one of the bags and walked into the other room. While Haru handed the other bag to Duo and Rex.
"Thanks Haru, I almost as starved as those two," Duo pointed to the other room where his partner was.
"No problem," Duo and Rex were both digging into the food that Haru and Kiru brought them. "How long do you guys gotta stay in here?"
"As long as that old bastard is alive and kicking at this rate," Rex said grumpily, "seriously, you'd think I'd lost my arm the way he goes on."
Right then another door flew open with such speed that Haru couldn't believe the hinges held. A rather large built man with glasses and dark graying hair, wearing a white doctors coat walked out.
"You out, these two need to rest!" He barked.
"They also need food Doc, come on, once they eat I'm gone," the man stared Haru down and Haru began to feel small under his glare. "You got ten minutes, and if your still here when I come out, you'll be in one of those beds tonight," the man walked back into his office and Haru sighed in relief.
"What was that all about?" Kiru poked his head out from the other room where Haru could hear the loud sounds of Veemon and Flamon inhaling their food.
"Ummmm, we got less than ten minutes to get lost, unless we want to be put into a hospital bed," answered Haru, laughing nervously.
Kiru blinked a few times, "Okay."
"Don't worry about him, he's a little tough to deal with but he does care about his patients," said one of the nurses. Haru noticed that both nurses were really cute, but strangely Haru didn't find himself going red and unable to think clearly.

A few minutes later Haru and Kiru were leaving the medical room with a bunch of dirty dishes, they walked back to the cafeteria to drop them off, getting lost for a bit before finding the cafeteria entrance. They walked up to Jerry who was still manning the window.
"Did they enjoy the food?" He asked them in that feminine tone of his.
"Yup they downed it in less than ten minutes," Haru paused and whispered to Kiru, 'thank god they did too.'
"Hey Jerry is there a place where I can go and relax for a bit?" Asked Kiru.
"Well sure each of you have your own rooms you know. I'm sure if you ask Andromon, or even one of the Guardromon they'll know where they are."
"Thanks Jerry, later," Haru, Kiru, Dorumon, and Strabimon made their way back out into the long hallways, trying to remember how to get to the hangar that they came in at.
They walked around aimlessly for ten minutes before meeting a red-haired, tattooed man. Like Shikamaru he also had his hair tied back tight to the back of his head. Next to him stood another Agumon, but Haru was surprised, this Agumon was at least twice the size of Shikamaru's and it had red leather belts wrapped around its claws and lower arm.
"Uh, hey there," the tattooed man turned around, "could you help us find the hangar?" Asked Haru.
"Which one, there's five of them," said the man.
Haru tried to remember, but Strabimon answered for him, "It was hangar D2."
"Sure, I guess you guys could follow me, this place is a frickin maze, ain't it?"
"You can say that again," said Kiru. They followed him down and around the base before coming to an elevator. The red-haired man pushed the button for them to go up one floor.
"We haven't introduced ourselves yet, I'm Haru and he's Kiru," Haru then pointed down at their digimon, "This is Dorumon, and this is Strabimon."
"Hi there!" Said Agumon.
"Nice to meet you guys, I'm Renji, Renji Abarai. Did you guys just get here?"
"Yup just over an hour ago," said Kiru, "how long have you been here?"
"Couple of weeks now."
They exited the elevator and made their way through the complex a bit before finally reaching the hangar where they had entered.
"Ah, Haru and Kiru. What can I do for you?" Andromon walked up to them as they entered. Renji waved goodbye to the pair and walked off with his Agumon.
"Sorry Andromon, but could you tell us how to find our rooms?" Asked Haru.
"Oh, of course, here give me your digivices," Haru and Kiru handed over their digivices to the android without question. One by one he hooked them into one of the computers seeming to download something to them. "Here you are, you both now have a virtual map built into your digivices, it will even show you how to get to your designated rooms."
"Awesome!" Kiru took hold of his digivice looking for the program. After activating it a small completely 3D map appeared over the digivice. Kiru pressed buttons making the map go up and down floors, finally finding a room listed as his. Haru did the same finding his room just down the hall from Kiru's.
"Thanks a lot Andromon," said Haru.
"You're very welcome, I'm sure you boys would like to get some rest, have a good sleep."
Haru and Kiru made their way through the base, following the directions on their digivice's map, going down a couple of floors and finally reaching the hallway where their rooms were.
"See ya later Kiru," Haru walked into his room, it was small, but he was amazed at how nice it was, there was a nice bed in one corner, another smaller bed in the other corner for Dorumon, and his own bathroom complete with his own shower. Haru flopped down on his bed and Dorumon jumped up and laid next to him, the two were asleep within a couple of minutes.

(A Few Hours Later)
Wizardmon was running through the long hallways of the base.
"Andromon, I've discovered some urgent information from the man Patamon's team captured," Wizardmon explained everything to him and Andromon became very serious.
"Alright gather all the destined, we need to come up with a plan."
