This is the undead writer speaking
After having faced evil digimon and other bad things for several chapters, i decided that the season 1-5 gang would all get a break from the action in this chapter. Basically what I mean is that this chapter wont have any battle scenes but it will have some comedy instead.
Gallantmon7196: The "dark knight" you are probably referring to is not the one which will cause trouble for the digidestined in future chapters.
PrincessOfDestiny14: Akari will make a cameo in a later chapter.
Jackpot 2: Like you said in your review, the heroes deserved to have a break and this chapter is that break.
I do not own digimon
It had been a few weeks since the battle at the Shibuya train station. During those weeks nothing had really happened and this made everyone wary because they expected something big to be coming their way. The data squad and HYPNOS had started to work together analyzing a sample of the mysterious blob which had been causing trouble for everyone since all incidents started. Yamaki (who had been told by Takato what had happened in the last few weeks) and Sampson together with the agents of each of the organizations worked day and night to find out the truth. They had found out that the blob was made up by some of the D-Reapers old codes but if the blob was the D-Reaper or something else was a mystery
But not everyone was that worried about the upcoming battles that they would have to face in the future. The youngest ones (Suzie, Ao, and Mako) did not understand much of what was going on so they ignored it and continued playing games as if nothing had happened. Takato had promised the siblings that he would try to find Impmon but so far, he had not found him to his disappointment. To his surprise, Rika had offered to help him look.
Most of the teams were also trying to getting to know each other during the wait for something to happen.
Koji and Ken got along fine even though Koji was a little anti-social at time. But both of them enjoyed the others company mainly because of what Koichi had meant for them both. Both Kari and TK had tried to become friends with Koji as well but Koji hardly ever talked to them that much when the 2 tried to start a conversation with him. He mostly only talked to Patamon and Gatomon when they were around. He however did start conversations with Kari sometimes. Both of the two felt a connection to each other's because of them both being a digidestined of light.
Ryo had completely isolated himself from the other group which was very unlike him. Ryo was the person to boast and try to impress others so this was odd behavior for him. For some reason, Ken had tried to contact him several times but Ryo had declined every time.
J.P, Izzy, Thomas, and Henry had become great friends because of the similarities they shared and being the most skilled with dealing with computers in their groups. They started researching together to find the blobs location. Thomas was at first a little suspicious of J.P but soon started to accept him even though he often commented that J.P was almost as lazy as Marcus.
Tommy and Cody had become great friends as well and often talked about how it felt to be the youngest in their specific teams of digidestined. Tommy had also become great friends with Sora as well. She usually came to visit him with her mother when they came to see the family.
Rika at first did not get along with the other female members of the groups (especially Mimi who reminded her too much of her own mother). Yoshi and Sora was okay but Kari and Yolie constantly got on her nerves because of how they scolded her for what she had done back in the day when she though Digimon were only data and had no feelings. She should have never told the other teams about that. That was one of the main excuses she used to let Takato help in the search for Impmon.
Jeri however got along with both Kari and Yolei easily. She could also connect with TK a little since he had lost Patamon once.
Matt were trying to find Gabumon and Terriermon frantically not wanting to losses his partner. Lucky for him he got some help from Joe, Kazu, Kenta, and Keenan. They did find Gabumon in an alleyway with no memory of what happeand after the battle in the woods. They however failed to find Terriermon but they all grew to become friends in the progress. They were close thought to find Terriermon twice when Henrys digivice let of a large beeping. But they never found what had caused it and they never noticed that both times when Henrys digivice went off and when they found Gabumon, a girl accompanied by a large female digimon with a giant sword and a snake for a hand was watching them from the rooftops.
But the goggle heads + Marcus got acquainted the fastest of every one of the different teams. Maybe it was because of them being the leaders of their teams or that many of them were similar in both appearance and personality. The same could be said about their digimon because of them all almost being fire type digimon.
Right now Tai, Davis, Takato, Takuya, and Marcus were sitting at a restaurant waiting for the food they ordered completely oblivious to the world around them unaware of all the danger coming their way.
(The goggle heads + Marcus)
"I'm tired of waiting. When will our food come? I am starving" Davis complained for 5th time in a row to the other 4 irritation where they sat around a large round table. To Davis left side sat Tai and on his right sat Takato. Marcus was sitting right opposite of Davis and Takuya sat beside Marcus
"Shut it or I'll will sick ShineGreymon Burst mode on you" Marcus exclaimed loudly finally having enough of Davis complaining. Davis just gave him an annoyed glare but stopped complaining nevertheless.
"Davis has a point though. I am starving as well" Takuya admitted as his belly started to growl for food
"Yeah me to" Tai and Takato both said at the same time.
"Seems like I'm not the only that is starving here. How about you Marcus." Davis said as he then looked at Marcus with a big grin at his face.
Marcus was about to protest when his stomach started growling as well causing the other 4 to start laughing.
"Fine. I'm hungry too. I was just feed up with your complaining" Marcus replied a little annoyed.
"We are all hungry so let's talk about something else other than food" Tai suggested. The other 4 nodded their head in agreement.
"Sure why not. We don't have anything better to do. I am the strongest one here so I should start" Takuya responded with his signature grin causing the rest to greatly protest except for Takato.
"Someone's a little overconfident much. I could totally beat you with WarGreymon" Tai responded with a smirk but before he could continue, Marcus interrupted him.
"Being the only ultimate fighter here, I could easily beat both of you on the spot. Besides you Tai and Davis only stand by when your digimon fight while I fight together with Agumon using my fists" Marcus protested. Tai quieted down and Davis shut up immediately not saying a word. Takuya however only laughed at him.
"You forget Marcus. I turn into a digimon so I could beat you any day." Takuya laughed ticking Marcus of.
"Please stop with your bragging. A legendary pipsqueak like you is no match for me. ShineGreymon could easily take you down as BurningGreymon." Marcus shouted standing up violently from his chair.
"I dare you to try captain falcon wannabe. As Aldamon or EmperorGreymon, ShineGreymon won't stand a chance. Burst mode won't help him either." Takuya shouted even higher standing up violently as well.
The ultimate fighter and the legendary warrior of fire were looking at each other with flames in their eyes as if they could explode at any time. Unfortunately for Davis, He said something he should not have said as he jumped up from his chair as well.
"You are both wrong. Imperildramon is the strongest there is and when he goes into his paladin mode, EmperorGreymon and ShineGreymon burst mode both looks small and weak in comparison" Davis said getting himself involved as well. But as he saw both Takuya and Marcus give him their full attention with the fire in their eyes burning greatly, Davis instantly sat down as if nothing had happened looking down into the ground to evade the gaze of the 2.
As Takuya and Marcus continued shouting insults at each other, Tai and Takato just looked at the 2 waiting for the argument to calm down and eventually stop. Both Marcus and Takuya face were red out of exhaustion and it was clear that they would not have the stamina to continue argue soon enough.
The restaurant was mostly empty so the 5 could be as loud as they could. The only people there were the staff and an old deaf man with green sun-glasses with brown hair sitting at a table near the door. It was Saturday and most of the restaurant's usual customers were watching football at home. There were not that many staff members either since there were not that many customers.
Knowing that getting in between Marcus and Takuya in their ongoing argument was a waste of time, Tai just waited for it to subdue. But he was thinking on what Marcus had said. It was true that he always stood back while Agumon fought to protect him and the other 01 digidestined but it was his friendship with his partner which made Agumon strong. As long as their friendship flourished, there was no way he and Agumon would lose. Tai smiled a little thinking about it.
Takato had not said much not wanting to get involved in the argument. One of the main reasons was that he did not think of himself as the strongest of them. He had not been chosen to be a hero. He had been dragged into the saving the world business when he really only had wanted to play with Guilmon. But he had enjoyed the adventures he had experienced even though he had been close to death many times. If it had not been for his friends, he would have died a long time ago.
"What is going on out there? What is all that racket?" a very gruff voice said coming out of the kitchen and soon enough an angry chef came out. Marcus and Takuya immediately sat down and pretended to be arm-wrestling. Both of them were giving the angry chef a very innocent smile.
The chef looked at them for a moment before he went into the kitchen again muttering something about crazy teenagers. Davis looked up and could not help but to let out a small chuckle.
"Davis. Don't you even dare" both Takuya and Marcus said and at once Davis went silent again.
"Let's talk about something else guys" Takato said innocently trying to decrease the tension in the air. Takuya and Marcus looked at him a little annoyed but they nodded their heads bringing their argument to a stop.
"Yeah I have a question. Why are you not wearing goggles Marcus" Davis said earning him a glare from Marcus.
"Yeah I have wondered that myself. Accordance to the TV series and the card game, every leader has to wear goggles" Takato agreed with Davis.
"A leader needs goggles and you are breaking that trend" Tai said with smile.
"I have some extra goggles with me. Who wants to play "Force Marcus to wear goggles" Takuya said with a grin as he picked up a spare pair of goggles from his left pocket.
At the sight of the goggles in Takuyas hand, Marcus started to complain.
"No way am I wearing those things, I don't need goggles. If my friends saw me wearing those, my reputation as an ultimate fighter would be ruined. Also goggles kids' stuff." Marcus frowned. He however did not notice that both Tai, Davis, and Takato was watching him innocent faces and before he could react, all 3 of them and Takuya were all over him tackling him of the chair onto the ground grabbing his arms and legs preventing him from being able to move.
"Let me go. I am not going to wear those goggles….Don't you dare come any closer with that Takuya…STOP IT. STOPP IT RIGHT NOW…NO. This is not happening. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO…. Agumon is so going to tease me for this if he finds out. This cannot get worse….. Stop giving me that grin Tai…..No. Not the camera Davis. If you take a picture of me right now, I will hunt you down and there will be nowhere in both words where you are safe from my wrath…..You asked for it Davis…"
Before Davis could send the picture to everyone he knew, he heard a soft voice behind him. Marcus and the 4 goggle heads looked up. Marcus even stopped struggling for a second.
Behind them was a beautiful girl wearing a sexy black and white waitress outfit. A pink skirt could be seen under her outfit and her brown hair was worn up. She was holding 2 big plates with food in her hands and was looking at 5 of them with deep gaze as if she was analyzing them.
"Your orders are ready" She said as she walked up to the boys table as if what she had seen was nothing strange that she had not seen happen before. She put down both plates at the table before going back into the kitchen.
"Okay, that was weird" Davis commented as he went back to his seat. Tai, Takuya, and Takato did the same. Marcus got up from the floor and removed the goggles before throwing them as far away as he could onto the floor.
"Goggles Hmph. Kids' stuff" Marcus muttered as he sat down on his chair and started to eat.
But Marcus quickly forgot about the goggles as he started to eat. He was starving so he just focused on his food not caring about anything else. The same could be said about the other boys.
After 20 minutes, there was no single piece of food untouched on the plates. There was basically nothing left. Takuya let out a long groan signaling that he would not be able to eat another bite.
"I am sooooo full. I can't eat any more" Davis complained as he tried to stand up but was unable.
"Now I know Guilmon feel when he finally gets full" Takato said as he ate the last of his sandwich.
After Marcus and Tai were not able to eat anymore, the waitress came in once again and picked up the empty plates before going back into the kitchen without a word.
Davis looked at her with longing eyes as she disappeared into the kitchen. Takuya noticed this.
"So sad Davis. Because you can't get Kari, you are looking at other girls who are ways out of your league" Takuya joked. Marcus and Takato laughed but Tai just gave Takuya a glare which could be easily interpreted as "Do-Not-Mention-My-Sister-Again-Or-I-Will-Hurt-You".
"So Davis has problems with girls. If you want, I can teach you some flirting techniques to get that Kari girl that I used to use when I was a little younger. I am an ultimate fighter after all." Marcus said causing Davis to look away from the kitchen door and stare at Marcus with excitement
"You can get Kari to like me?" Davis asked.
"Sure thing. Just learn from the best" Marcus responded with a smirk.
Tai was staring at the both of them now with a murderous expression. If looks could kill, both Davis and Marcus would have fallen down dead right on the spot.
"Let's just calm down everyone" Takato said noticing Tais attitude. "Let's talk about something other than girls". Marcus completely ignored him.
"I could help you to Takato about that Rika girl. She will be a hard one to impress based on what I have seen of her." Marcus said and started smiling as he saw Takato head become reader than a tomato.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Rika is only a friend" Takato defended himself but he just could not stop blushing. Once again Marcus ignored him
"First you have to toughen up. As you are now, you am probably the most shyest of us in the room. With some heavy training, you will get some muscles on those spaghetti arms of yours. When she sees that, she will fall for you. She won't be able to take her eyes of you. But you will have to toughen up in attitude as well" Marcus continued causing Takato to grow redder and redder and Davis to laugh so much that he fell of his chair.
"Only because you managed to make Yoshi your girlfriend does not mean you know anything about how to flirt with girls Marcus" Takuya sighted at Marcus lesson about how to flirt.
"Just you wait Takuya. With my help, Kari and Rika will fall hands down for Davis and Takato. By the end of the month, Kari and Rika will be sitting in their laps madly in love with them." Marcus responded with a laugh.
Takato could not help himself but imagine himself sitting watching TV on his sofa in only his underpants with Rika sitting on his lap having her hair hanging down. Instead of wearing her usual clothes, she was wearing a blue thin T-shirt and a short green skirt. He was having his hand around her waist while she was signing with her beautiful voice. Bad thoughts Bad thoughts Go away. Rika will kill me if she found out what I am thinking about her
Davis was imagining something as well. He imagined himself wining a soccer tournament and that Kari in a Cheerleading outfit came up to him and kissed him on the lips. Davis grinned as he thought about it.
But what Marcus had said was the last straw for Tai who threw himself at Marcus from the other side of the table knocking Takato and Davis out of their fantasies and soon enough both of them were rolling around on the floor causing both chairs and tables to fall to the ground.
"WHOEVER IS CAUSING ALL THAT RACKET RIGHT NOW WILL GET A BEATING WHEN I COME OUT" the chef's angry voice screamed out of the kitchen.
At once Tai and Marcus got up from the floor and ran as fast as they could out of the restaurant and down the street quickly followed by Davis and Takuya. Takato remembered to put some money on the table before he ran out as well but not before running right into the old man who was coming out from the bathroom. Takato helped the man up and said he was sorry before leaving.
As the goggle heads and Marcus ran towards the place where they had hidden Agumon, Veemon, and Guilmon, the waitress watched them with an eagle's eye until she could not see them anymore. When no one saw her, she ran out of the restaurant as well into the night leaving the old man and the chef to be the only ones left at the restaurant.
(Unknown)
On a rooftop right beside the restaurant stood several digimon waiting. 2 of the green Monitamons were standing there looking down at the ground as if they were looking for possible trouble. The yellow airplane digimon was hovering above the 2 doing the same thing. The large female digimon with the snake hand was there as well sitting on the ground bored. The snake hand was letting out a large hissing sound which meant that it was hungry.
Right then the door to the roof opened. The 4 digimon at once went into their battle stations. But they lowered their guard when a familiar girl came walking out of the door towards them. The large female digimon let out a small chuckle when she saw what the girl was wearing.
"I never thought you were the type to expose yourself wearing clothes like that Nene" she laughed and the snake hand hissed in agreement. Nene could not help but blushing in embarrassment as she looked down at the waitress outfit she had decided to use. It did make her look sexier and exposed than she usually did.
"I remember a certain someone else who did the same thing when she went on a date with Belzebumon after the Quartzmon incident Mervamon." Nene defended herself still blushing furiously. Mervamon stopped laughing and began blushing as well but the 2 Monitamons and the yellow airplane digimon was too far to see it.
"But you do have a point Mervamon. This is defiantly one of the skimpiest disguises yet. It is so much easier and comfortable to disguise myself as different digimon when we were in the digital world." Nene continued as she walked past Mervamon and looked down at the ground below her. The 5 legendary heroes could still be seen from where she was standing high up.
At the moment, Davis was being chased by Marcus with a camera in his hand around the block with the others in pursuit after Marcus. It kind of reminded her of a certain carton cat and mouse she had seen while doing concert in America a few months ago as Davis used a digi portal to get away while Marcus ran right into the wall where Davis had been standing causing a large stone brick to fall down and hit him right in the head causing him to fall to the ground and see stars.
"Nene. It is still inside the building so should we stay here and keep watch or should we follow those 5." The yellow airplane said getting Nenes attention away from the legendary heroes and back to the restaurant and the old man who could be seen through the window.
"Sparrowmon Follow them while I, the Monitamons, and Mervamon keep watch from here" Nene responded with a smile which Sparrowmon answered with a nod.
"OK will do Nene. With me on the job, there is no way the legendary heroes will be attacked without me seeing it" Sparrowmon said in its usual cherry attitude before she flew at maximum speed after Marcus who was looking for Davis with Tai, Takato, and Takuya following him. But Nene managed to hear Sparrowmon say something to her as it flew away and it caused Nene to smile even more. "That outfits looks good on you Nene just like everything else you wear".
"Miss Nene Like we told you before, the enemy entered the restaurant 2 hours before the legendary heroes arrived. It knew they would come but it did not do anything. I think Monitamon 2 know maybe." Monitamon 1 said as the old man started to walk out of the restaurant.
"Why would I know. I am not it. I though you knew" Monitamon 2 responded with surprise.
"No you said that you knew."
"I never have said that. You imagined it"
As the 2 Monitamons started arguing, they were so loud that the old man down below heard them and looked in their direction. Behind his sun-glasses, his eyes were blood-red and they did not at all look human.
Mervamon immediately dragged the Monitamons out of sight and Nene just managed to get away from the gaze of the old man's blood-red eyes. He looked in their direction for a minute or 2 before he continued on his way.
As he looked way and continued walking, Nene saw as he walked over a sewage opening, he started to dissolve. His whole body disappeared and was replaced with red liquid that fell to the ground. When the old man was no more, the liquid started to flow down the opening and into the sewer. It only took some seconds and soon there was no sight of it left except the green sun-glasses lying on the ground.
"Sometimes I don't understand how you graduated to become elite ninjas. Did you not learn that ninjas have to be quiet" Mervamon scolded the Monitamons when the liquid disappeared from her sight.
"We are sorry Miss Nene. Forgive us" both Monitamons said at the same time but Nene said that it was okay and that everyone made mistakes sometimes. If Mervamon had her way, she would have scolded the 2 even more but she didn't.
"Let's go and find Sparrowmon. We lost our target so it is useless to stay here. Besides, I really have to change into something else. I can't stand being in this outfit any more" Nene said as she sent Mervamon and the 2 Monitanmons inside her lavender digivice as she left the rooftop. She could hear Mervamon chuckling in the digivice as she left.
(Etemon)
"Don't get closer blobby. Let's talk about this. You still need me. I am a star" Etemon said scared out of his wits as the blob approached him. The two were right now in the forest clearing and the blob had just come back from doing something.
"Your data not needed anymore in its current form.
Need to modify it for Plan: "The Dark Knight Rises"
"No don't get closer…Look a digidestind" Etemon said pointing somewhere to his right. The blob looked that way which gave Etemon the chance to escape but the blob had expected it. It shoot a large energy beam at Etemon causing him to fall down to the ground in pain.
The blob approached him slowly. As Etemon tried to get up, he saw the blob forming several red tentacles around it which latched onto Etemon.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS. I AM A STARRRRRRRRRRRRR" Etemon screamed before his body was surged with red electricity knocking him out.
I cant really say I feel sorry for Etemon but whatever that blob is planing cant be good. What actually is the "The Dark Knight Rises" plan? Watch the next episode of Digimon: Digital Monsters to see the blobs new plan in action.
That is another chapter complete
True to this chapters name, this is the calm before the storm and believe me when I say that the heroes will have a hard time for the next few chapters. We are also coming close to the end of the first arc of the story which will end at about episode 25. There is in total 3 big arcs I have planned.
With all my schoolwork increasing by the second, I may have to put this story on hiatus for a while until things have calmed down. But I have not decided yet and I will still post one more chapter before I decide if I will put this story on hiatus or not.
In the next chapter, you will get to see the blobs new plan in action and why it is called "The Dark Knight Rises". It will also focus on one digidestined who has not been much in the story until now.
This is the undead writer signing off for now
