CHAPTER 26:THE DATAMELT TECHNIQUE

Takato's pov

"What are we gonna do now?" Guilmon asked. The dinosaur like digimon looked exhausted.

"How are we supposed to know?" Asked Patamon annoyed "You aren't the only one that has no idea. We know exactly

the same as you do."

"I know but I am hungry!! We've been wondering around here for more than fife hours!"

"And what you suggest boy? Stay here and do nothing? You know that by now ours friends may be dead?" His partner

was REALLY angry.' I can't believe it! Why isn't the portal opening?'

"Please guys, stop complaining. It's not helping. We must find a way out of this place." T.K sounded calm. Too calm in

Takato's opinion. 'How can he be so calm?! I am going to freak out if the portal doesn't open soon.'

They kept walking in the abandoned factory. Patamon and Guilmon were still arguing about their stomachs. Takato as

well as T.K was silent. This was just too much. Trapped in a strange dimension and not knowing what to do.' It drives

me crazy! What are we gonna do?'

"Let's go that way, it's the only part of the factory we haven't searched yet." Said T.K and made Takato snap out of his

thoughts. They followed the path lightened by torches and a couple of minuets later, they were in front of a door.

"This must be it. We go in and see what we can find." Said Takato and prayed for a way out. He was the one that opened

the door. It looked like the control room. It was big and it was full of screens and computer stuff.

"Let's go check it out." Said Patamon and got inside followed by Guilmon. T.K turned to face Takato and opened his

mouth.

"Don't worry, we'll get back home and save them. Don't forget that the dd and the tamers are together! They won't be

beaten that easily." Takato though about it for a moment and agreed. 'He is right. They can't have been beaten!' He

entered the room free from the weight he was holding. While things looked like going brighter, a yell made them jump

in surprise.

"ATTACK!!" Someone yelled and Takato turned to face a small amount of Hagurumon attacking them. He jumped out

of the way and took his D-Ark out. He looked at his partner and he nodded. Takato took a card and yelled

"DIGI MODIFY...DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!"

"GUILMON DIGIVOLVES TO…GROWLMON!"

The huge red dinosaur attacked but a moment before he strike the Hagurumon, they started yelling. That made

Growlmon stop his attack. The Hagurumon were surprised. One of them gathered the courage and asked .

"Aren't you going to kill us?" Takato looked at them with curiosity.

"Are you kidding me?" He asked. "We don't like killing digimon. You are the ones that attacked us." The digimon were

taken aback.

"Aren't you here to harm us or our factory?" Then Takato realized.

"No, you got us wrong. We are here because we were looking for something." He answered and nodded Guilmon to

change back to rookie.

"Then it's our fault that our friends are dead." Said another Hagurumon and looked down.

"No my dear friends." Another voice said and made Takato look in fear behind him. There was standing a digimon full of

cables. He remembered him. His name was Datamon and he controlled computers easily.

"I am sorry if my friends have caused you trouble." He said looking at the kids.

"No, it's us who have to apologize. We killed many of those Hagurumon…" T.K said and faced the floor.

"It's ok. I developed a computer program that allows us to bring digimon that died here back to digieggs. Now tell me,

why are you so upset?"

"We came here from another dimension and now we are unable to return."

"So you came here. May I ask why?"

"We came here looking for this…" Said T.K and pulled Latona's staff out of his backpack. Datamon looked terrified.

"Is it...Is it the Ancient staff of Latona?!" He almost yelled.

"Yes that's it. We came here looking for it and now that we got it, we want to go get the other two remaining."

"The other two remaining?! That means you got four of them!" He yelled.

"Aha, we got Audhulma, Nidhogg…" Begun Takato and he pulled out Nidhogg, while Guilmon sawed Audhulma

"And Sieglinde and Latona." He said and pulled out Sieglinde.

"I can't believe my eyes…four of the sacred weapons are here." He stared at them for some time and then he decided

to speak. "So you are after the sacred weapons. May I ask again, why?"

"Our dimensions are been attacked by Emperordevimon and we need those weapons to beat him. The only problem is

that we can't carry them." Said Takato and laughed.

"That's no problem at all!" Said Datamon. "I can teach you a technique called "Datamelt".

" What is this technique doing?" Asked Patamon driven by his curiosity.

"It's a really useful technique. By knowing it, you can easily melt something to data and then store it as a file on a

computer or something like that. Instead of solid, you get bytes, kilobytes, megabytes etc. I even managed to melt a

machine and store it. It was about 1,5 Terabyte!

"That can be really useful indeed. Can you please teach us?" Said Patamon in excitement.

"This technique can only be learned though installment."

"But we are humans, we can't have something installed!" Yelled T.K and he had the look that says "Are you kidding

me?" 'he is a bit overreacting…'

"Not to worry young boy, there is a machine I created when I was young…" 'Looks like he has some interesting in

creating machines.' "It has the ability to turn data into brain cells and be absorbed by humans! Am I genius or what?"

"If I say no I'll be lying." Answered Takato, who was with his mouth wide open.

"Ok then, let's do this." He said and he walked towards a machine. He reached it, insert a disk inside it and started typing

something. "Get ready folks! This is it!" Suddenly, form the top of the machine something started floating in the air. The

machine stopped and those floating things disappeared out of thin air. 'What the heck happened?!'

"Did it fail?" Asked Guilmon a bit disappointed. "That means I'll have to carry this sword!" Takato couldn't hide his

disappointment too.

"No my friends, it worked." One of the Hagurumon said.

"What you mean? Thos things disappeared…" Said Patamon confused.

"Why don't the two of you try melting those weapons?" Another Hagurumon suggested.

"…How are we supposed to do it?" T.K asked.

"Put one of your hands in front of the weapon and try to pull some invisible rope that holds it." Datamon explained. T.K

decided to do so. Takato watched him. Suddenly, Sieglinde started melting into data, just like been deleted! But now, the
data was gathered in T.K's hand.

"Incredible…" T.K said with the look of the cow. (1)

"Now the only thing you have to do is to insert it into something that stores data." T.K got his D-Ark out and pushed the

data he had on his hand inside it. The data was shucked by the device. 'Wait a minute

"But how are we going to get it out?" Takato asked.

"Do the same thing, but just release the data and it will start appearing." T.K did as he was told to and saw Sieglinde

reappear. Before he was able to catch it, the sword fell to the floor. "You have to be faster in order to catch it. Practice is

the only thing you need.

"That's great thanks Datamon, we own you." Said Takato. "But we still have to figure out a way to open the portal.

"Don't worry, as soon as we get some electricity running, we can create you a portal." A Hagurumon said.

"That's great thanks guys. If you ever need anything communicate with us and we'll be here."

"The portal is about to open, get ready." Datamon said and pressed a button. A portal started appearing and Takato waved

them as he entered it. 'Farewell, for now'.
