I don't own digimon.

Session 11

A Very WTF Chapter

For as glad as the group was to see their teammate, something felt off about her.

"Alice, are you alright?" Joey whispered, only for a bullet to slightly graze his left cheek. A slight flesh wound that could be easily fixed once they got outside and found their digimon.

"Who the heck are you people?" 'Alice' asked, her body shaking quite rapidly. Even her guns weren't immune to it, seeming to shake even more than the rest of her body.

"We're your friends. Don't you remember us?" Elena calmly answered as she pulled both of her daggers back out. "So, please stop this at once."

'Alice' silently walked over to Elena and attempted to slapped her. What followed was a few near misses, one of which resulting in the 'gambler' unintentionally giving Elena a very awkward kiss. Eventually, she did manage the feat.

"My name is Suiko Tanaka," the girl explained as she took a few steps back. "I don't know who you people even are or what the heck you want with me, but please just leave me alone!"

The group then stood there and waited for a couple of seconds. After, an ebony-furred feline entered the room. Strangely, it seemed to have some clue what was going on, judging by the look it gave Elena and Lily. For the rest of them, it gave them a quick glance of pity and returned it's focus back to Elena and Lily.

"Liora!"

Elena then hugged the cat, only for it to walk over to 'Suiko' and paw at her legs.

"What is the meaning of this?!" the cat shouted, just about ready to claw the shooter apart. "Is this how you plan to repay me?"

'Suiko' rolled her eyes, unsure of whether to answer the talking cat.

"Then tell me what is going on then..." she announced, the shaking now much less noticeable. "That's all I want to know. If you don't, I'll shoot all of you!"

Gale Strike!

Elena pulled both of her kris out and charged towards Suiko, knocking the gambler's guns to the ground. After, Liora scooped them up and placed them on the table. The cat then pointed her attention at them, quite furious with most of them for some unknown reason. It probably had something to do with their romp through the halls from a few minutes ago.

"Care to explain all the destruction you just caused?" Liora shouted, slamming her paw against the ground. "I realize that only three of you are actual students and all, but this sort of behavior is truly unwarranted in every extent of the word!"

Elena's group only stood there, waiting for the creature to continue. When it didn't, they all took a deep breath and slightly relaxed themselves.

"Sorry about that, teach." Elena answered, taking a deep breath. "I should have probably sent a much clearer message to you guys."

Liora then sighed, pawing lightly at the corsair's arm.

"It's alright, child. You were just doing what you believed was right at the time."

The two then turned their gazes towards Alice, who had now fallen to the ground. A few seconds later, the gambler got back up and seemed totally unfazed by what had just happened. Heck, she seemed slightly happier then before.

"Why are you looking at me?" she started, only to dust herself off. "Not entirely sure what got into me."

"Care to explain?" Aaron inquired, only to receive no answer from the gambler. For now, it was probably better that way.

Everyone stared at her for a few seconds, taking a deep breath afterwards. At the very least, they got that problem solved. After thanking the nice cat for fixing their friend, they headed back into the halls of this madhouse. All that was left to do, was find the exit and leave this place.

"Uh, guys..." Elena remarked and came to a stop. Gone was the series of hallways they had just left, having been replaced with a labyrinth of mostly left turns.

"Did you really expect me to let you people out that easily?!"

"Yes." the group announced in unison and pulled their respective weapons out. While they hadn't really planned to take one more opponent on, it would work as good practice for future fights.

"Well too bad!"

A large fin then swept across the area, knocking everyone to the ground.

"So we're facing a fish then?" Joey added, shooting out a shadow flare towards their possible opponent. A few seconds later, goldfish crackers rained down upon them. "What the fuck?"

The group looked among each other, entirely unsure what had just transpired. Not even any of the drogaciji students themselves had an explanation for it. Once they had finished collecting their snack, the maze faded away and a normal hallway replaced it. At the very least, they probably wouldn't have to deal with that nuisance anytime soon. They then headed off, finally getting through a room without anything out of the ordinary happening to them. Eventually, the doors came into view.

"Finally."

"Took us long enough."

"Thank god!"

"Oh well. I'll investigate some other time in the future."

"I guess all good things must to come to an end."

After saying that, their gazes focused on the western wall. There, someone had painted a mural of a large cat beast being taken on by four people armed with weapons. While no victor was shown, it looked to be an even match by digitalverse standards. Outside of that multiverse, there was no chance in hell of the heroes even succeeding.

"I feel sorry for them." Alice announced as she gazed intently at the wall. "Those people probably haven't realized how screwed they actually are."

The rest of the group stared at her, possibly having a much different opinion than the gambler did.

"Personally, I think they'll succeed." Elena responded and pushed the invisible barrier open.

Outside, everything looked the same. As such they made their way back on the bus without even saying a word to each other or their digimon. There, they sat themselves down on the bus for the long journey ahead.

"Who's the weird girl following you, Elena?" Carinamon inquired, only for Lily to perk up.

"That's Lily." Elena explained as Carinamon gave the succubus a stink eye.

And so we focus on Joey, who still has one thing left to do.

"Do you still have it?" Joey inquired.

"Yep." Tsukaimon answered, regurgitating up a small journal that his human had stuffed in a small plastic bag. The scientist then pulled it out, proceed to pull it open and read the first page.

Dear Diary,

Today, my campaign to conquer this world begins. Before me, is a big large world that will soon be mine. and yet, I seem to have deja vu...

Notes:

Personally, this chapter just needed a full-on rewrite. Mostly since a majority of the plot had changed for this arc and I don't like the original chapter.

The end is a start point for A Conqueror's Diary. Read at your own risk.

Next Time: Information on the chapter is unknown. Those that do want to know can go ask Alice.
