I still don't own digimon, but I do own the digitalverse.

Session 50

Let the good times roll

In between chapters, Wholebear led the large group into his office. It wasn't anything that truly impressive, just four oak-covered walls with a light blue carpet. A couple chairs and a ratty couch were scattered around the room. The only sense of order actually came from the desk Wholebear was currently sitting behind.

For Alice Zwingli, this didn't make that much sense. In many ways, it felt weird to have a bear being the one to grill her for an incident that occurred two years ago. Even as she and Elena sat in front of Wholebear, the gambler still would have preferred to sat on the couch with their digimon and Suiko instead. It was probably more comfortable than the chair she was currently sitting on.

"Our teammates consist of the son of a crazy creator of robotic angels, a reincarnated harem girl, a three-millennia old detective, a weird hybrid bird girl and Miss Alice with whatever the heck Miss Suiko even is." Yokozamon explained and scratched his fur. "Add in that robot with the orbital laser satellite, the dimension travelling plush succubus thing, that mysterious gentleman guy, a dark angel, a spy turkey, me the anthro yakuza dude, the reincarnated harem mage, a scorpion bird thing with an inconsistent personality, the shy pink rabbit healer and a troll police officer that likes to blow stuff up. If you were expecting sense, you're in the wrong multiverse."

"True." Consligmon whispered as he cleaned his gun out. "Kind of crazy how things work out."

Everyone then laughed and returned their attention to Wholebear.

"As I was saying…" Wholebear whispered and took a deep breath. "We are here to discuss Alice Zwingli's punishment for her attempt at killing Gabe and Verena Tanaka, two of this academies greatest former students."

"Wait, my parents graduated from here?" Alice inquired as the irony quickly crept into the room. "So in other words, Suiko and I were used?"

"Pretty much." a voice answered and everyone shifted their gazes to the right, finding Alice's parents just standing there. "Took you long enough to figure that out."

Neither of the girls answered and decided it was much more of a hassle than it was worth. While there was such a hint, there wasn't really any incentive to search for it.

"Sure…" Elena whispered as they all took a deep breath. "So what do you people even want now?"

Both Gabe and Verena then laughed as large cactus thing shuffled in front of them. Strangely, it had a small set of legs that allowed it to walk for some reason.

"Oh… We were just checking on you." Gabe remarked as his gaze shifted into a angry glare towards Alice. "Especially you, Alice."

Alice gave her father a quick glance and returned her vision to Wholebear.

"Just get it over with." she whispered as Wholebear sighed. "Give me my punishment and we'll just get out of here."

Wholebear shifted forwards in his comfy swivel chair, unsure of what to do.

"Alice Zwingli, Wholebear hereby punishes you by transferring ownership of you and Suiko Tanaka over to Elena Yuliana."

Uh… that's not how it works. Even if it was, that still makes no sense at all for a punishment that pretty much equated to a forced marriage.

"Are you serious?!" Gabe and Verena simultaneously shouted and turned their attention to Elena. "How dare you take our daughter away from us! Were her parents!"

"Considering your daughter attempted to kill you two, I doubt she would've done better with you." Lily whispered as Elena rolled her eyes. While this was her first meeting of Alice's parents, she could sort of understand their reaction. On the other hand though, both Alice and Suiko were now sporting an amalgamation of a glare and a frown. Personally, the gale corsair was mixed. While she did kind of set this in motion, Elena doubted she would even go through with the punishment.

"Do I have to go through with this?" she then asked as Wholebear gave her a confused glance. "Can we do something else? That doesn't really make sense as a punishment."

"Wholebear has no clue what you're talking about." Wholebear answered and drank a little bit from his dogbowl. "That's just been the way Drogaciji Academy has been run."

After Wholebear had said that, Elena leaned over and whispered something into Alice's ear. Afterwards, Alice whispered something back.

"We're leaving." Alice announced and motioned for Suiko and their digimon to get up and head towards the door. "Goodbye."

With that, they headed through as the Tanakas watched on for a brief second, only to follow right behind. After all, they couldn't just let them get away that easily.

"Come back here this instant!" Verena shouted as she pulled a revolver out and pointed it towards her 'children' and their friends. "After all, it would truly be a shame for you guys to just die before you even get a glimpse of the final boss."

Elena stopped in her tracks and stared towards the woman, getting a quick glance of Suiko returning to Alice's body as she did.

"Are we talking about that weird guy in that black void?" she inquired and took a deep breath. "If we are, you aren't really being that clever at all."

Verena stopped in her tracks and mumbled something to her husband. Gabe whispered something back and proceeded to pull a minigun out as Yokozamon watched on in horror.

"Don't do it!" the yak shouted and Gabe turned towards him. "If you do, there won't be much of a reason for me to even be around, Mr Tanaka."

Gabe took a deep breath and laughed, cracking a twisted smile towards his opponent.

"If you really meant that, you would've killed me already." Gabe announced as his weapon began to rev up. "I guess we'll have to fix that then, shall we?"

After Gabe said that, Alice grabbed hold of Yokozamon and the two broke into a full-on dash towards the doorway. The rest of their group were right behind, not at all wanting to be left behind within this fucked-up madhouse at all. On the other side. They slammed the doors of the academy shut and moved some rubble in front of it. While a temporary solution to their problem, it would work for now.

"Now what?" Adarnamon shouted as she fluttered in place. For as mad as the bird was for being thrown out of EMT's armored vehicle, she was just glad to at least be in the company of her partner. "Come on, I would like a plan now."

"Give us a minute." Elena answered and her phone went off. "Crud."

She dropped her bag onto the ground and began to fling its contents all around her in order to reach the desired device. Amid the variety of the junk, Alice managed to pull the flip phone out as Elena continued to search.

"Looking for this?" Alice announced and walked over her to Elena, phone in hand.

"Thanks." Elena cracked a smile towards her girlfriend as she pressed 'talk' and put the device on speaker. "Hello?"

A loud cough exited the phone and the speaker cleared their throat.

"Good, you two lesbian sluts are still alive." a familiar voice remarked as everyone perked up and inched their heads closer to the phone.

"Aegiochusmon!" Alice and Elena shouted as the harem mage laughed. "Where are you?"

"In the middle of dimensions, on my way to earth." Aegiochusmon answered. "Well, Earth-B to be exact."

Both girls looked at each other in confusion, unsure of how to respond to the latest in a series of confusing revelations within this wonderful mess. It probably didn't matter in the long run, just some random observation that won't come up again for a while.

"So what do you need from us?" Elena whispered as the group headed towards the edge of the academy, ready to make a quick getaway when the time came.

"Get back to Hunter's End. Hopefully, everyone else will hopefully be there soon."

"Uh.. sounds good?" Alice added as they both sighed and Aegiochusmon hung up. "At least we have some sort of goal instead of endlessly roaming around this multiverse."

"It was in that aimless wandering that I met you." Elena responded as she cracked a smile. "That was what brought us together."

Her girlfriend took a deep breath and smiled back. The two leaned in, only for a loud bang to interrupt them.

'Did you people have to do that?!' Suiko announced as the duo broke away and took a deep breath. 'Just when things were getting good too…"

After she said that, Elena switched forms and motioned for the rest of the group to come over.

"Here's the plan." the gale corsair whispered as she made a quick glance to her side, checking the current status of the door. While it was still holding on through some arcane force, they couldn't rely on it. "Alice and Yokozamon gets on me while Consligmon rides Adarnamon."

"What about me?" Lily inquired as Elena took a deep breath.

"You'll be covering us until we're out of range of this place."

Lily gave a slight nod as Alice and Yokozamon got on Elena, with Consligmon doing something similar with Adarnamon."

With that, they soared up into the air above the shifting void as Gabe and Verena broke the door down,

Overkill!

Yokozamon cautiously stood up and pointed his minigun towards the opposing duo, taking a deep breath as he fired. While these people were Miss Alice's parents, they were probably planning to do something quite nefarious to her and Suiko. He and Consligmon would just have to protect her for the time being.

After a couple rounds of that, they were finally out of range of Gabe and Verena. Out there, they became nothing but little dots amidst the whirlpool of color.

"Fuck. They got away." Gabe whispered as Verena took a deep breath. "A shame too. I was hoping to solve this peacefully."

"Oh well." Verena whispered and leaned on her husband. "When the time comes, we'll settle this."

"Yeah..."

With that, a bright light overcame them and the duo were teleported away...

Notes:

About time I got that stuff out of the way. Yeah, this chapter isn't that spectactular. But it serves it purpose by setting up a whole bunch of things in the future.
