Chapter X: The first big mission
Alex's P.O.V
We were all going to the DATS HQ, since we needed to do our reports, as soon as Ruby knew that we were part of an organization that helped both humans and digimons she wanted to join us, she probably thought that it was like being a hero and saving the world, since she always wanted to be one, but well she isn't that far away since we are supposed to protect the people from digimons that have gone crazy with negative human emotions.
When we entered the all too familiar building we were greeted by Marcus, Miki and Megumi all of them looked at us, they saw the Leomon and Ruby, you could see that they were confused.
"Ok, who is she?" Megumi asked.
"She's my cousin, she came to Japan and it looks like she has a digimons to so we thought that she could join us?" I said.
"Well, I don't see why not, it only means we will have more people to protect both worlds, very well, do you have a digivice?" Marcus asked.
"No, I don't." She said.
"Then Megumi go get this girl a digivice and a set of cards." Marcus said.
"Yes sir." The blonde girl said.
"Is it just me or is your brother treating Megumi more like a slave then Miki?" I asked Kristy.
"No, it's not just you, the only explanation is that since he is dating Miki, he wants for her to be on a good mood, but that tends to go the other way around since Miki and Megumi talk bad about him treating them differently, we girls have tried to talk to him, but it's no use." Kristy said.
"So are you staying in Alex's house?" Marcus asked.
"No, I've rented an apartment for now, but I need to get a job that pays and I need to find a place where it's cheaper to stay." She said.
"Well, you will receive the salary from DATS but it isn't that much, the best we can do is for you to stay in DATS HQ since we have remodeled it to be suitable for living, me, Marcus and Megumi live here and we have a bunch of other rooms that you can take, and you won't need to pay rent or food, it's something included for those that are working with DATS." Miki said.
"And it will be nice to increase the female population, right now we are beating the male population by one, once you put on your uniform we will be beating them by two." Megumi said arriving with a digivice, a set of cards and a DATS uniform.
"Don't you have one of these with pants, me and skirts hate each other and by making me wear them in school it's a pain." Ruby said.
"You can wear jeans if you like, but the jacket you have to wear, we had the same problem with a certain somebody six years ago." Miki said pointing at her boyfriend.
"Then when can I make myself at home here?" Ruby asked.
"Whenever you like, we have everything a human needs to live, this base was rebuild a year ago so when I came back I could use it as a house." Marcus said.
"So tomorrow I will start moving after school, this way I will only need to pay a week of rent." Ruby said, while she received her digivice from Megumi, hers was Yellow and white, soon enough Leo started glowing and became shorter as soon as the light surrounding him faded we were left with a little red and blue mammal with nine tails that looked like a fan.
"Ok, what the hell just happened here?" I asked.
"This is Leo's Rookie level form Elecmon." Ruby said.
"I was really wondering if he would always stay in his champion level form." Keenan asked.
"It's been a long time since he has been in this form, the first time I saw him he was already a Leomon, but we both got in a fight with another digimons a while back and we lost, he lost to much energy and reverted to his Rookie level stage." She said.
"So, you have already been in a Digimon battle before, did was it a wild Digimon or was it a Digimon with a partner like ours." Relena asked.
"It was a Digimon with a partner." She said but for a reason the way she was trying to avoid my eyes was making me nauseas, she was afraid of telling me who he was.
"Do you know this person's name? It would be good to contact him and ask him to join us, even if it's overseas." Megumi said.
"Well, I know this person, and I'm not the only one, he's a relative of mine, and he's…" I didn't even let her finish saying what she was saying.
"My twin brother." I said looking at her with anger and fear in my eyes, for once in a lifetime I would prefer she would say that she was joking but instead I got a nod confirming what I had just said.
"But, isn't your twin brother too bad and evil to actually have a Digimon." Keenan said.
"Yes, and he actually is working on building a Digimon army with those who have Digimons that have been appearing all over the world, I bought this pen with me, it has all the information that I stole while I was there, it has information on the possible people that have Digimon partners and what Digimon they have." Ruby said, Miki took the pen from her and inserted it on her computer she started looking at the files that were in it.
"This is impressive, they even got the affinity between the human and the Digimon, this needs a lot of researching and analyses, how can a simple teenager do something like this, he needs at least a little help." Miki said.
"He got some help from an artificial intelligence he found, the AI calls itself Akihiro Kurata." Ruby answered as his name came out of her lips everyone in that room became inpatient and surprised.
"I'm guessing you guys know who he is." I said.
"Kurata was the one who caused the barrier between the human and the digital world to collapse six years ago, he was supposed to be dead, how the hell is he still alive." Keenan said.
"Well you can't say that he is alive since he is an AI. But how the hell did he go from human to an AI." Megumi ended up saying.
"It doesn't matter, what matters now is that he is alive and he is building an army with Alex's brother and that we need to stop them at all costs, we are the ones who will maintain balance between the human and digital world, so I will ask you both, if things turn out badly are you ready to fight against your own flesh and blood for the safety of the world?" Marcus asked.
"You don't even have to ask me, I don't even consider him my brother anymore, you guys are closer to me as family than he will ever be." I said.
"I follow Alex wherever he goes, and to be clear I don't like him too, and my family abandoned me as soon as they knew I wouldn't be with Ben so without a doubt I want have any problem in putting a bullet through his skull." Ruby said, everyone except for me looked at her with fear.
"What?" she said.
"You aren't supposed to kill him, just restrain him and let the judges' judge him, no killing in the normal world remember." I said.
"Oh right, sorry about that it's a force of habit, being part of the Vasquez family you learn to kill from the day you were born, same goes for Alex, but since he has lost the ties to the family for a long time he probably doesn't go into old habits anymore." She said.
"Ya, I don't but what are we going to do now commander." I asked Marcus.
"Well, for now you five are going home, because tomorrow you have school." Marcus said.
"Al right but could you explain something to me Megumi how does the digivice work." Ruby said, Megumi went near her and started explaining in the end she pushed her into a hug.
"Thank you, you are a life saver." She said and we all left HQ to go home.
Marcus' P.O.V
As they left the office I waited some minutes to give them time to walk and so nobody would be listening and then I ordered.
"Miki, Megumi contact every one of the formal DATS, except for Keenan, we have to talk with everyone. And also ask Alex's parents to come to." I said.
"Yes sir." Both of them said.
For the next 30 minutes all of us waited for everyone to arrive and as soon as they all arrived we started talking, about how Kurata was back and how Alex's brother wanted to create an army of Digimon, Alex's dad wasn't surprised, and said that he would help us in every way he can. His mother was another story, she was afraid of him going into old habits, and get depressed again, she also didn't want for him to face the lunatic of his twin brother, as much as I like this kid, I don't even know how he survived being from the mafia, or how did he turn into a normal human being and not a killer, but well, at least I know that I could count on him and his family.
"So what do you plan on doing Marcus." Sampson asked.
"I don't know, I think the best thing we could do for now is find the people on this pen and hope we get to them before they do and convince them in coming with DATS." I said.
"Every person that is registered in this pen are children between the age of five and eighteen, both male and female, they have info on their Digimon partners and the affinity they have." Miki said.
"We should start by tracking those who have a better affinity with their Digimons so we won't lose those that have greater power." Megumi said.
"But most of these kids live in different countries, how the hell are we going to find them and convince them of joining us." Yoshino asked.
"I need your help, I want to ask all of those that worked in DATS, to join us again temporarily, of course DATS would talk with your bosses so you and Sampson won't have any problem, in Homer and Thomas there won't be any trouble since they work for themselves." I said.
"For me there will be no problem." Thomas said.
"Same here." Homer said.
"If you will talk with our bosses, I don't see the problem, but how about the kids, what are we going to tell them, as soon as Thomas and I leave Relena will probably be suspicious." Yoshino said.
"I don't think that will be a problem." Alex's Dad said.
"And why would that be?" Thomas asked.
"Because they are right outside this room eavesdropping." He said.
"We seriously forgot that your dad was here, if it was just you and me it would have been easier to slither away." Ruby said while opening the door.
"Didn't I tell you five to go home, you weren't supposed to have listened to anything that was said here." I yelled.
"If you think we were going home and let you guys have all the fun you are sadly mistaken, we are also a part of DATS so everything you want outsiders to do you have to say to us too, and we are also going on this mission to." Kristy said aimed at me.
"No, you guys have school, and putting you in a crossfire between the Mafia and us is a completely different story, they could and will kill you if they see that you are enemies, aren't I correct?" I said asking Alex.
"Ya, you are right there, however, we are already in a crossfire with them, they know me, and I suspect that they know that Ruby stole info on them, it would be better to act as quickly as possible and the more people around the world the better, besides Thomas will attract to much suspicion since he is a Nobel prize winner and I doubt Yoshino can talk anything except Japanese and English." Alex said.
"That's true." Thomas said.
"So you are saying that you can talk different languages?" I asked.
"Of course I can and Ruby to, we were trained to survive in this world and are ready to do most stuff that normal kids can't do." Alex said.
"Very well, but what are you thinking of doing?" I asked them.
"Well, we can take those that are between the age of 13 and 18, since we can at least pass of as those ages, Yoshino, Sampson and Homer can act as teachers and take care of the rest of the kids between 5 and 12." Relena said.
I am very impressed, these three aren't those little kids that I once knew, it was my own fault for not being here to see them grow up.
"Ok, it seems I won't be able to convince you, so I will have to accept your idea, me, Thomas, Miki and Megumi will take care of the kids in Japan, you five plus Yoshino, Homer and Sampson will take care of the rest of the world, if you need back up just call, your Digivice will be upgraded so they can tell you were there are Digimons and once the mission is cleared you will call us through your DATS communicator, Miki or Megumi will always be here since you are going around the world it can be day there and night here, Keenan and Alex will be a team, Kristy, Ruby and Relena will be another team, don't forget this mission might take a few days to a few months of your time and we need all of you to focus on the mission am I clear." I said.
"Yes sir." All of them said.
"Now, how the hell are we going to take you in to these countries and housing and food?" I asked to the group.
"As for transport, the Norstein private jet can take them for now, and houses, if we all work together we can rent some houses for them to stay, we can also use some of the Norstein houses that are around the world." Thomas said.
"We can also use some of the houses that I have bought over the time when I was in other countries, they are being well kept the maids and butlers, they aren't that big but they can fit a family." Alex's dad said.
Are they doing this on purpose or are they actually trying to help, damned spoiled rich people.
"Very well, you five go get a goodnight sleep because tomorrow the mission will start we will send you more information on who you have to catch tomorrow." I said.
"Yes sir." We all said.
A/N: Hello there I want to say sorry since this chapter was mostly dialog and no action, for the next chapters I will be splitting them, so next one will probably be all Keenan and Alex P.O.V.
I hope you liked this chapter and I would like to thank digitamer88 for the follow, the next chapter will probably be up by Friday since I am finally free of exams, but in case it isn't I would like to apologize in advance.
And one more thing I have to think of OC for the kids so if anyone wants to they can PM me with an OC if they like for me to add to the story, you have to give the name, age, place where they are living right now, little description of the character, DNA color, digivice color, partner Digimon and its digivolution line.
The Digimon will have to be in either its in-training or Rookie form. The characters won't be main but I would like to put them in the story.
