Rogue Nirvana is making some big moves. They attempted to attack a research facility, but was stopped by Ichika and Davis. Then, they attacked the academy itself and stole data on I.S. units. It looked like they've played things well. Davis and the others had a look at the server room and saw the damage that was done to the place.
"They really did a number on us." Davis said. "I thought they were just some fighters, but they got mad skills in everything." Referring to his sores from Seyu. "No wonder these guys are consider the elite. Those other guys we fought were nothing compared to them."
"What exactly did they steal?" Ichika said.
"Data on the I.S. units and how they work and operate." Fria said.
"Probably to develop stronger weapons they can use against us." Lita said.
"At the same time, they've caused us some setbacks." Chifuyu said as she grabbed a damaged server and gripped it in anger. "I can't believe we allowed this to happen. Damn it all."
"It will all be fine, Chifuyu." Ichika said to comfort his sister.
"You still have to call me Miss Orimura." Chifuyu reminded. "Anyway, we better hide this from the media. If word gets out that we were attacked like this, it will bring some trouble to the academy and it's reputation."
"So, what do we do now?" Ichika questioned.
"Easy, we go and find them and make them pay for this." Davis said as he was still willing to fight.
"You make it sound like it's that easy." Lita said.
"Well, we can't just stand around and do..." Davis was about to argue about this whole thing, but he heard his phone going off and saw it was from Marinda. "It's Marinda!" When they heard that, they gathered around to hear what she said. "Hey, Marinda. Do you have something on Rogue Academy?"
"I do." Marinda said. "I've been trying to track down some of their associations since Rogue Nirvana has something scattered through the whole world, and I think I might have something. It looks like they have ties in France."
"France?!" Davis said.
"Yeah. It would seem they have ties to some big shot down there, but I'm afraid the identity is confidential." Marinda claimed. "You need to head to France and find out where this all is happening. Find the big shot, take him down, and you'll cut Rogue Nirvana's ties there."
"France? Doesn't that mean Paris?!" Lita said as she and the girls were getting excited about going to Paris. It could be a chance for them to be alone with Davis in the City of Love. Houki and the others might feel the same.
"There are other places in France besides Paris." Marinda pointed out. "The place we're looking for is in Marseille." A little disappointed that they're not going to Paris, but they are still excited to go and get an even shot with Rogue Nirvana.
...
Charlotte
Charlotte, Houki, and Rin were working on repairing the school and the schoolgrounds from the attack that Seyu and Byako caused.
"Those jerks." Rin complained. "They're the ones that messed everything up and we're the ones that have to clean all of it."
"What did you expect? For them to leave behind a broom and such and them saying please clean?" Houki said.
"I'm a little more concerned about Ichika, Davis, and Cecilia." Charlotte said. "I heard that one of them was quite the fighter, and that he humiliated poor Cecilia. For someone that claimed to be a gentleman, he sure sounded nasty."
"That's why we're going to get even with them when we get the chance!" Rin said.
"That's right. They're not going to get the best of us for a second time." Houki said as they were all more determined to beat them.
"You might get that chance sooner than you think." All of them looked to see Laura showing herself. "I just spoke to Mentor. Marinda has found a location of one of Rogue Nirvana's organizations. It's all the way in Marseille, France." When Laura mentioned the location, Charlotte appeared rather surprised about it.
"Great! This is what we're waiting for!" Rin said as she and Houki were excited, but Charlotte seemed rather scared and nervous about this situation.
"Charloote, is there something wrong?" Laura asked as she noticed Charlotte seemed rather distraught.
"Oh no. I am fine." Charlotte said as she tried to show she was. "It's just... How are we even going to get all the way to Marseille?"
"Marinda said she was providing transport, but I'm not sure how..." Laura was trying to explain the situation, but the answer soon came to them. They'll be arriving in Marseille in style as they saw a small jet heading towards the school. It would seem Marinda still has some connections.
"That sister of Davis really knows how to get what we want and need." Houki said as she was impressed. All of them were looking forward to this, but Charlotte was the only one that appeared to be nervous.
...
The Skies
Once the jet came, Ichika's group and Davis' group boarded and were on their way to Marseille. As they all just sat there and enjoyed the ride, they were also getting themselves ready. This was a mission, not a trip to France.
"All right, listen up." Chifuyu said as she took charge in this mission as she stood up front like a commander. "Thanks to Marinda, we now know that Rogue Nirvana has a station or some sort of tie to it in Marseille. Our mission is to shut it down and find the one who is in charge to bring that person down. Sadly, we have no clue as to where either as that is."
"Rogue Nirvana is an underground organization. It's highly unlikely that anyone in the public will know anything." Cecilia said.
"No worries!" They all looked and saw Veemon jump down on Davis lap for he was taking part in this as well. "We'll find it and tear it all down."
"Wait. Veemon?! What are you doing here?!" Kimi said.
"Davis and I are a package deal. Wherever he goes, I go." Veemon said.
"Plus, he could be of some help to us. These guys might be set to fight against I.S. pilots, but not against digimon." Davis claimed. "Speaking of which, where are Tatenashi and Kanzashi? Aren't they going to help us?"
"Tatenashi is holding down the fort back at the academy and Kanzashi is working on restorint our servers." Chifuyu explained. "That aside, we need to find some clue as to what to look for." Chifuyu looked to the side and saw Charlotte was a little distracted. "Dunois!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Charlotte said as she snapped out of it.
"Surely you must have an idea or two. Marseille is where you're from." Chifuyu said.
"It is?! Then, this is like a return trip home for you!" Davis said as they all seemed happy for her, but Charlotte didn't look happy, and Ichika and Charlotte noticed it.
"I am sorry, but I do not know where to look." Charlotte said.
"Very well. Luckily, we have a little help." Chifuyu said. "I've made contact with an associate and he's going to help us out. He's already set a base for us down there that we can use until this mission is done." All of them understood the situation now. Now that they have a chance to take their own shot at Rogue Nirvana, they can't fail this mission.
...
Marseille
Paris might be a great city, but it's not the only one in France. Marseille was a beautiful as well. Upon their arrival, all of them tried heading to their temporary base.
"This is it." Chifyuyu said as they arrived at a small building. Once they went inside, they saw that the inside was completely different from the outside. The inside looked like it was covered in tech. All of them were amazed by the amount of tech they saw.
"Look at this place!" Sierra said.
"I can't believe someone got this all set up in such a short amount of time." Cecilia said.
"It has to take some sort of genius to do this. Who is the one responsible for all of this?" Serene said. When she said that, Lita got a cold shiver running down her spine.
"Hold on. I think I know who might this be." Lita said.
"That's right! It's none other than me!" They all looked up at a higher level and saw it was Wade again.
"Wade! Good to see you again!" Ichika said.
"In a matter of speaking." Lita said as she wasn't as excited to see her brother again.
"We should have known you were the one that set all of this up." Houki said.
"Marinda got in touch with me and told me all about what was going on." Wade said. "When she did, I knew I had to do my part to fight against this Rogue Nirvana. She contacted me first and I went on ahead to set up this base. I'm already well aware of everything that's going on."
"How did you set this all up so fast?" Kimi asked.
"It was all thanks to my mobile lab." Wade said. "I have it set in camouflage mode right now with it resting at the top of this building."
"That thing could even get all the way here?! You got some one serious piece of equipment!" Davis said. This adventure keeps getting more and more exciting, but not for Charlotte. She took a look outside the window and into the city. Returning home usually has people think of fond and great memories, but that's not the case with Charlotte.
"Dunois!" Chifuyu called and got her attention.
"Yes, Miss Orimura?" Chifuyu said.
"The Dunois Corporation is stationed here in Marseille as well, is it not?" Chifuyu pointed out. "You should go and pay a visit to your family." They might be on a mission, but she also wants Charlotte to see her family knowing it be important. However, Charlotte didn't look that happy about the idea. "Listen, I want two people to go with her while also keeping your eyes open for anything."
"I'll go." Laura volunteered.
"So will I." Ichika said, leaving the others a little disappointed.
"Very well. The rest of you, head out into the city and get to work. Split into teams and find anything that could lead us to Rogue Nirvana." Chifuyu ordered.
"Well, Davis, shall we get searching." Serene said as she put her arm through his.
"Hey! Who said you're going with Davis?!" Kimi shouted.
"That's right. I should be the one to go with him." Sierra said.
"Please. You're all helpless. I'll be the one to go with him." Lita said.
"No! I shall!" Fria said.
"That's not really splitting up." Veemon pointed out, but the girls just ignored him and kept arguing about it. Chifuyu was getting annoyed and that's not a good thing.
"Motomiya, find a way to solve this now!" Chifuyu ordered.
"Okay! Girls, let's draw straws to see who will go!" Davis said as it was the only thing he could think of. At least it was fair.
...
Davis
"As it should be. Being my bride, I am the perfect partner for you here." Fria said as she was the lucky winner that got to partner with Davis and Veemon to search around the city.
"Are you still going on with that? We're not married! I'm not your bride!" Davis said. At least they can now get to work and try finding Rogue Nirvana.
"So, how are we going to find anything on Rogue Nirvana?" Veemon questioned.
"You got a point." Davis said as he tried to think it over. "Rogue Nirvana is an organization that operates in the shadows. Aw! I just realized that none of us speak the language! How are we going to find anything?!" Davis could see they were in a real conundrum, but Fria easily fixed it as she went to speak with someone.
"Pardon moi." Fria said as she went and spoke with a lady and was speaking French perfectly. Davis and Veemon couldn't believe how well Fria was speaking the language. When the conversation ended, the lady kept walking with Davis and Veemon still amazed.
"You speak French?!" Davis questioned.
"I speak many languages. It will be useful for when we decide a destination for our honeymoon." Fria claimed.
"Honeymoon?! You realize I have a girlfriend, right?!" Davis said.
...
Dunois Corporation
As for Charlotte, Ichika, and Laura; they went straight to the Dunois Corporation, the same corporation that Charlotte's father owns. They stood right at the building with Ichika amazed at what he was seeing.
"Wow! This is your father's building?!" Ichika said.
"Oui... The best I.S. corporation in the entire country. Let's just get this over with." Charlotte said as she wasn't enthusiastic about being back. The three of them walked on inside with the amazing looking tech, features, and such. It was certainly amazing. As the three of them walked inside, they went straight to the reception desk.
"May I help you?" The receptionist asked.
"I am here to see my papa." Charlotte said. "I am the CEO's daughter, Charlotte Dunois."
"Charlotte... This is certainly a surprise." Charlotte became as stiff as a board upon hearing that voice. She and the others looked and was met with her father himself.
"Hello, Papa..." Charlotte greeted, but she sounded scared about it. Charlotte is meeting with her father, but it does not appear to be a good thing at all. So much for a warm welcome home.
...
Davis: Looks like Charlotte's visit home isn't turning out as great as I thought. Looks like her father is a real piece of work, and his partner appears to be even worse. We don't even have a lead into Rogue Nirvana, but Kimi and Serene get caught into some sort of trouble. We need to get them out, but I have a feeling Charlotte is the one who will be in the most trouble.
Next Time: Auction Off
My friends are in real trouble, but I'm not going to let anything happen to them.
