Last time, while Kouji and Kouichi visited Takuya, the other Digimorphs questioned the new teacher; as the Digital World was fill with curiosity-filled activities...

"This is Demonese."
Chapter 10: Wouldn't it be nice?
After a short amusing moment (to Kouji and Kouichi, of course), which involving Takuya, his pillow and the need to breathe, the Chosen of Flame glared half-heartedly at the twins, who either stifled their laughter or chuckled at his earlier antics.
"It's not funny." Takuya grumbled, watching his friends calming down themselves. Still, it was nice to see them. Even though he cares for his fellow Digimorphs, he still tried to make time for his other friends, the rest of the Chosen. But still, Takuya felt guilty; for keeping his secret from them, if not out of safety, then out of fear.
The very idea to spill the beans to them right now seems very appealing, yet he feared getting negative reactions, rejection at worst case scenario. It would be nice for his half-human status to be accepted by the other Chosen Children, after leading them to believe he's human for so long. 'It would be nice...'
"Well, Takuya, better get well soon, okay?" Kouji said, with a smile, which slowly turned into an evil smirk. The 'I know you'll hate this, so I did it' smirk, not the one often associated with villainy and world domination plots, but it did looked close enough. "Kouichi?"
Seeing his brother's smirk, the Chosen of Darkness smiled and pulled a certain something from his bag and placed them on Takuya's desk, much to the latter's look of undeniable horror.
Homework; by the Three Great Angels, it's homework.
"Hate you."
"Heh, I like you too."
If looks would kill, the Chosen of Light would be several feet under already.

If it weren't for the presence of their teacher, Lee would've given his friends a look when they unanimously made him their spokesperson. The Ryumon hybrid would've preferred Takuya to be elected but no; it has to be him because the Flamon hybrid didn't get much choice but to get sick.
He'll get back at them, eventually. Right now, they're talking to Miss Wings and pushed the thoughts of small revenge to the back of his mind...for now.
"Miss Wings..." Lee began, picking his words carefully. Even though there's only them and the Art teacher, who knows when someone will walked in and discover their secret? "I heard from my friends that you helped them, so..." He sensed his friends' nervousness, which didn't help with his own nervous feeling. "...Thank you." He bowed; he saw Lily and Yoko also did the same, followed by Gabe after a quick tug from the Piyomon hybrid.
"..." Angelica smiled, she knew what the young Childs mean; they had already suspected her identity, but was wise enough not to elude to it within earshot of other potential people that might overhear. Already, she's feeling proud and it's still her first day.
"I'm just happy to help." She said, as the young Digimorphs straighten up. "If you need anything, I'll be willing to help, okay?" Her smile grew warm and understanding. "After all, I know how it feels."
The Digimorphs tensed when they heard that, but relaxed when there's no mob or demanding demon scientists popping up.
"Well, thank you again, Miss." Yoko said, with a small smile, before the group left the classroom.
After hearing their footsteps faded, the blonde teacher sighed while leaning against the wall. That was the closest thing she said in relation to her identity and even so, the meaning behind it can easily be interpreted into other things beside Digimorphs.
She looked up when she heard footsteps, heavier and single person, before one of the Maths teacher entered.
"How is your day, Miss Wings?" Ohta asked, smiling as he entered the classroom.
"It's pleasant, Mr Ohta." Angelica replied, her blue eyes taking in his appearance; dirty blonde hair and oddly familiar deep blue eyes. 'Strange, who does he remind me of...?'
"I've seen the new students coming from your directions." Ohta said, while looking at the artwork displayed on benches and the wall.
"Well, they were thanking me for helping them earlier." She replied, as the Maths teacher looked over at her, two different shade of blue locking onto each other.
"..." He smiled. "That's nice of you." He made no attempt in asking her what she did for them.
"I was happy to help."

After much grumbling, death glares and half-hearted threats, Takuya thanked Kouji and Kouichi for bring his homework, and made sure they left them on someplace accessible yet out of bounds for his younger brother.
That doesn't mean he have to like doing them.
"Kouji, Kouichi, isn't it time for you two to get home?" His mother called out, making them realised the time.
"Well, time for us to go. Get better soon, Takuya."
Watching them standing up from their provided chairs, they waved at their sick friend, only for Takuya to call out to them.
"Wait, Kouji, Kouichi..." Takuya began, getting the twins' attention. "How about...when we all have time...we'll have a picnic, us and my old friends...?" He said, sounding hopeful and excited. "Wouldn't it be great?"
The Chosen of Light and Darkness looked at each other, before they nodded at Takuya.
"Sure, that would be great." Kouji said, getting a smile from Takuya. At school, both groups of friends wasn't sure on how to talk to each other, so they appreciated that the Chosen of Flame became their unofficial link and attempted to make them befriend each other; or, at very least, make sure they understand that they're Takuya's friends.
"I'll let them know...see you later."

In the Digital World, three major groups and/or organisation was busy planning and preparing.
For the Three Great Angels, they're looking for information and willing Digimon volunteers for the dangerous tasks of finding information on the new threat. It worried them greatly and was desperate to know. They're also considering calling the Chosen Children for help, but would decide on that after sending their first wave of information gatherers and see the results.
The Council of Morphopolis, who was not happy with recent demon activities, was also gathering their resources and willing hybrids and Digimon for the time when their beloved city will be found and targeted by the demons. For Shinoko, a city fill with Digimorphs will definitely be appealing to her and her scientists, with the residential Digimon who lived there will also be subjected to their research without exception; a fate which they all hoped to avoid.
Meanwhile, Shinoko's demons were split between research, pillaging for more Digimon data and resources and hunting for their precious Digimorphs. Their leader spare no expenses, she intensely disliked losing the results of many moons of research and resources on creating her perfect army. Shinoko need them for her domination of the worlds and she'll be damned if the demoness failed in her plans.
The demoness sat on her throne, resting her head on her right palm with one leg over the other. Shinoko was aware that the Three Great Angels was planning to stop her demons, but she paid them no heed; the Digimorphs has higher priority than Digimon spies. It would be difficult for spies to locate her stronghold and to blend in, due to their language, which was required for the Digimorphs in their 'care' to learn to survive here.
Lifting her head up from her palm, she called for an available demon and gave him her orders. She'll bring the escaped Digimorphs out; even if they no longer remain in the Digital World, once she captured the ones who do came, the demoness will first conquer the Digital World, follow by the Real World, home of the humans, and getting the others there.
But first, luring out the Digimorphs then getting more resources before domination; all good things happened to those who wait and Shinoko's willing to wait, if it means getting back few of her rare Experimental Digimorphs. Their mixed powers would be great, when fully matured and utilised; it'll make world dominations far easier. Oh, the demons still got some Experimental Digimorphs, some who was born after that outrageous escape and others who didn't join due to some unfortunate circumstances.
But still, even with fewer Digimorphs then desired, they're steadily rebuilding that number; wouldn't it be nice to hold such control, with a powerful army and access to everything that existed?
Yes, it would be nice, indeed.
To be continued.
