Digimon: Invasion USA
Chapter 5: A Meeting in the Skies
The Digidestined are in Air Force 1. It was a lot nicer than the jet they had flown on from New York. They were in amazement- very few people ever get to see the inside of the President's plane! Let alone be briefing the President on the fate of the world! He is sitting at the head of the meeting room's table with his wife Laura. To his right is his Vice-President Dick Cheney with his wife. To his right is his Secretary of State Colin Powell and his National Security Advisor Condaleeza Rice. The Digidestined were sitting around the table with them. The Digimon, though, were being polite and introducing themselves to the confused people.
"Hi, I'm Agumon!" the dinosaur Digimon says to Mr. and Mrs. Cheney.
"Uh, hi..." The Vice-President gulps out. "You're not carnivorous, are you?"
Meanwhile, Armadillomon was saying hello to Mrs. Rice. "Gosh, your purdy!"
"Well,...uh, thanks..." Condoleeza says. "So you're a Digimon?"
"Yep!" Armadillomon says excitedly.
"Well," Colin Powell says, "what exactly happened!"
"Washington was captured," the President says. "And these children may be able to help us. Go on and explain what's going on, kids, y'all know more about it."
So Tai and the other Digidestined explain the stories of the Digiworld, digivolving, the Space Needle's mysterious arrival to the Digital World, and the Dark Digidestined children. They also show them the riddles that are supposed to guide them to the digieggs.
"I can't believe children can cause so much of this misery," Mrs. Cheney says.
Secretary Powell asks the Digidestined, "So let me get this straight- if you find these new eggs, you will be able to make your Digimon grow stronger?"
"Yes, sir," Matt says.
"Will your Digimon be strong enough to stop the Dark Digidestined?" The President asks.
"We hope so," Izzy says. Then he turns to Tentomon, "hey, buddy, what was it that you said about black digivices?"
"Oh," Tentomon says, "the Dark Digidestined had some, and that's how they are able to bring Digimon over here to attack us! Amy said something like 'You know something else will be sucked into the DigiWorld' or something like that."
"Black digivices, huh." Ken says, "If I can program my digivice to work like it did as a black digivice when I was the Digimon Emperor, than maybe Wormmon can digivolve. I'll work on it right away!" Ken takes his digivice out and begins to reprogram it.
"Something else get sucked into the Digital World?" Kari says, "That must mean that everytime they go to the DigiWorld with those black digivices, something from the Real World gets sucked in with them. That must be why the Space Needle appeared there!"
"And other things have been disappearing, too." Vice-President Cheney says, "Part of the Golden Gate Bridge sank into the San Francisco Bay, and they can't find it underwater. Also, a white light had swallowed up a Detroit car factory, a Cincinatti downtown skyscraper, and the Denver Broncos' Stadium! If this keeps up there won't be anything left of America to protect!"
Suddenly, Condaleeza Rice interrupted. "Can you read me your riddle, Mimi?"
"Yeah, OK," Mimi says, "It says to the bearer of sincerity: the egg you seek is beloved by the red stick that rules its people. But I don't know what it means."
"I may be able to," Condaleeza says, "there is an exhibit on display in the Capitol building of Louisiana. It is called the Magnolia of Louisiana, and it's shape forms into an egg. It is in Baton Rouge, which literally means "red stick" in French. That may be where you need to start looking."
"Great, we found my Digiegg!" Mimi says with hapiness. "All I have to do is get to Louisiana and pick it up."
"We'll get a plane for you." the President says, "I think this counts as a matter of national security. Condy, send these riddles to everyone available; we need to solve all of these!"
"Yes sir, Mr. President" Condaleeza says as she types up the riddles and sends them to the FBI agents across America.
"And Colin," Bush continues, "get some planes to bring Mimi to Baton Rouge, and inform the governor of Louisiana about what's happening."
"I'm on it," the Secretary of State says.
"But what if the Dark Digidestined know about the digieggs, too?" Cody says.
"Yeah, they may try to ambush us!" Joe says.
"We should go along to protect them!" Kari says. "Me and Gatomon will go with Mimi and Lillymon to make sure no one tries to get them."
Suddenly, a horrifying screech echoes in the sky. Everyone rushes to the windows and sees a large grey bird flying towards Air Force 1. It looked like Birdramon, except it was a light grey, and it had red talons and a sharp beak with ferocious wolf-like teeth. Sara is riding on top of her Digimon's back.
"Oh no! It's Bidralamon!" Biyomon screams.
Izzy takes his laptop to the window and pulls up Bidralamon's profile. "She's the Virus-type form of Birdramon. She is as ferocious as a falcon, and her Comet Fire sends out dozens of fireballs that will rain on anybody unfortunate enough to get in their way! This isn't good, guys!"
"Well, I think it's time to clip that birds wings!" TK says, turning to Patamon. "You ready?"
"Sure am!"
DIGI-ARMOR ENERGIZE
Patamon...
Gatomon...
Hawkmon......armor-digivolve to...
...Pegasusmon
...Nefertimon
...Halsemon
They leap out of the President's airplane and fly to intercept Bidralamon and Sara. Bidralamon begins to attack
COMET FIRE
A twister of fire belows out from her mouth and flies upward. It flies highter into the air, and then it explodes into hundreds of fireballs. They rain on the three Armor Digimon. They are injured, but the return their attacks.
TEMPEST WING
QUEEN'S PAW
EQUA SPEED
The three blasts hit Bidralamon. Sara is knocked off and she falls. Bidralamon flies down and catches her in her talons.
In the plane, the Digidestined watch as this happens. Yolei involuntarily says out loud, "It's too bad she didn't just let her fall." Suddenly, a beam of black light shines out of her D3 and shoots Bidralamon. Yolei realizes what had happened, "Oh my God! I just made her stronger!"
"What?" Tai asks.
But his attention is captured by the black light engulfing Bidralamon. She begins to yell out in excitement.
Bidralamon...digivolve to...
...Vulturudamon!
Suddenly, a giant vulture-like Digimon was flying with Sara in her hands. She was twice as big as Air Force 1 itself. It had black and white feathers, and it had a helmet made out of a giant bird skull. Its arms are leathery wings, and the hands are at the ends of them. She begins to attack
BLACK BLADES
One of the blades of black energy shoot towards Pegasusmon and hits him. He de-digivolves back to Patamon and falls. Halsemon dives down to catch him, then he brings him back to TK. The other blade heads towards the airplane. Nefertimon attacks the blade.
ROSETTA STONE
She shoots the large tablet at Vulturudamon's attack, but the stone misses. The blade comes closer to Air Force 1.
"Quick!" the President screams to the captain, "deploy the decoy missle!" Suddenly, a missle shoots out from the wing of the plane and shoots towards the black blade. Before hitting it, the missle detonates and flings millions of tiny reflective mirrors around the blade. The mirrors reflect the energy of the blade into thousands of other directions, stopping Vulturudamon's attack from hitting. The blast still rocked the plane and threw everyone to the ground.
"What was that?" Davis yells in amazement.
"It's a decoy missle," the Vice-President. "They're used to refract homing missles. Good thing it worked for this, too!"
"We're still in trouble, though!" Tai tells everyone. "We have two Armor-Digimon out there fighting an Ultimate!"
"I'll help them!" Lillymon says, but before she could reach the door, Mimi grabs her arm. "Lillymon, you can't go out there, you're still too weak to fight. You need to rest."
"But Mimi!" Lillymon objects, "I can't just sit in here and watch that overgrown parakeet kick our friends' butts!"
"Lillymon, your Flower Cannon barely taps Champion Digimon; it won't help against an Ultimate!" Mimi argues.
"Wait a sec!" Ken says, "I finished reprogramming my D3. I may be able to allow Wormmon to digivolve!"
"Then go for it!" Davis says.
"Ready, Wormmon?" Ken asks his Digimon.
"Yep." Wormmon says. He uses his silk string to hang out of the door, and he begins to digivolve
Wormmon...digivolve to...
...Stingmon!
Stingmon flies at Vulturudamon at top speed. He uses his sword and hits the evil Digimon in the chest. She screams and swats Stingmon with her winged arm. As he falls, Nefertimon attacks.
ROSETTA STONE
The stone hits Vulturudamon in the chest wound and explodes. Vulturudamon screams in agony and de-digivolves back to Bidomon. Sara begins to fall again. In the air, she falls to her Digimon and grabs her. As they fall, Sara takes out a small laptop from her purse. She quickly turns it on and takes her black digivice out. "I'm outta here!" she yells as she holds her digivice to the small computer. She and Bidomon are sucked into the computer and into the DigiWorld. The digidestined see only a small computer falling.
"Stingmon!" Ken yells to his Digimon, "your digivolution won't last for long! Hurry up and get on the plane!"
"OK, Ken!" Stingmon yells as he rushed to meet up with his friend. But Ken's digivice shorts out and Stingmon de-digivolves back into Wormmon. As he falls, Nefertimon catches him, and the remaining Digimon get back on the plane.

"What happened to that girl?" Colin Powell asked.
"She teleported to the Digital World," Joe says. "No doubt she's safe."
"Since she used her digivice," Sora says, "than something else must have been sucked into the DigiWorld."
"Mr. President!" one of the flight attendants rushed in. "You need to see what's on the news, sir." She uses the remote and turns a TV on.
"This is a Fox New Alert!" the announcer says, "President Bush, Vice-President Cheney, and their wives were assasinated during the siege on the White House early this morning. No details have been given, but the Speaker of the House Dalton Hamilton, Democrat from New York, has made his first statement as the new President that the terrorists are being hunted down as they speak..."
"Wait, he's the President now!?" Cody asks.
"According to the Constitution, if both the President and the Vice-President are assasinated, then the Speaker of the House would become President." Vice-President Cheney explains.
"So that's why Sara and Vulturudamon attacked us!" Izzy says. "Because they didn't want you two to be alive still and ruin their plans!"
The anchorman continues his news flash: "The newly appointed President has just enacted Martial Law in response to the terrorists. Also, Congress has also discovered who the assasins are. They are Japanese children with monsters. Their names are Tai, Matt, Sora, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, TK, Kari, Davis, Yolei, and Cody." Their pictures and their Digimon's pictures were posted on the television monitor. "If you see any of these people or monsters, contact the police!"
"They blamed us for the fake assasination?!" Matt says in confusion.
"But I'm too popular and pretty to kill anyone!" Mimi says.
"I don't understand this!" Bush says in frustration. "How could the media buy such a story without any evidence?"
"Look!" Gomamon says, leaning his head against the TV screen.
"Gomamon, don't sit so close to the screen," Joe orders, "you'll get a headache."
"But Joe, look at that guy's neck!" Gomamon says.
All the kids look at the news anchor's neck. They see a White Ring around his neck.
"He's being controlled by one of those rings!" Gabumon says.
"No wonder he looks so mean!" Patamon says.
"Someone needs to call that news station and give them a piece of their mind!" Veemon says in anger.
"Veemon, that's a great idea!" Davis says. "All we need to do is have the President call everyone up and tell them that he and the VP are still alive!"
"Wow, good job Veemon!" Kari says, while kissing Veemon on the cheek.
"You know," Davis says, "I actually did help him with the idea."
"Of course you did, Davis," Kari says sarcastically.
"Why can't I ever win!" Davis grumbles under his breath, "Just once, that's all I'm asking!"
"Hey, guys," Hawkmon says, "I can't find Yolei!"
_______________________
In the storage section of Air Force 1, Yolei sat on a metal crate. She had been crying for about fifteen minutes, but it felt like forever. Suddenly, a woman's voice speaks to her. "Mind if I share a crate with you?" Yolei looks up and sees the First Lady.
"No, go ahead." Yolei says softly.
Mrs. Bush walks up to the crate and leans against it. "I see that you found my little quiet place, eh?"
"Your quiet place?" Yolei asks.
"Yeah, I sit in here when I need to be alone." Mrs. Bush says. "I've riden on this plane about half a dozen times, and I found that this is the quietest place on it."
"Why would you need to be alone, Mrs. First Lady?" Yolei asks.
"Well," the First Lady says, "I'm from a small town in Texas, and I'm not used to so much attention. When my husband became governor, more people paid attention to me. When George became President, I thought that I could handle it. But the media paid even more attention to me: what I wear, how my hair is done, how I welcome people, and a lot of other things. I don't hate it, but I need some quiet time for myself. And besides, you can call me Laura. What's your name?"
"Yolei" she says.
"Yolei, do you mind if I ask why you were crying?" Laura says.
"Well..." Yolei says, "when we were fighting Bidralamon and Sara fell off, I said that I wanted Sara to fall. I wished that she had died! I feel like a monster!" Then she began to cry again.
"Oh honey," the First Lady says, "don't feel bad, it's just a human instinct."
"A human instinct?" Yolei says, confused.
"When we or someone we love is attacked by something, we want that thing to go away." Laura Bush says, trying her best to console Yolei. "Sometimes people say that they hope someone dies, but no good person ever means it."
"But how do you know that I'm a good person!" Yolei says.
"Because if you weren't, you wouldn't be down here crying." Laura Bush says. "You're just a girl filled with love. Nothing can take that away from you." They then hear the plane slowly begin to descend. "Now let's get to our seats and buckle up before we land. You don't want to be standing up when the landing gear touch down. Trust me!" the First Lady says with a smile.
Yolei couldn't help but smile as she jumped off the crate and followed Mrs. Bush to their seats.
"There y'all are." President Bush says, "We're landing at Ft. Lewis Air Base now."
Everyone sits down as the plane lands on the Kansas Air Base. As the Digidestined get off of the plane, three Air Force pilots walk up and salute the President. One of them says "Mr. President, sir! We are here to escort three kids to Baton Rouge: Mimi, Kari, and...uh,...Lillyman?"
"That's Lillymon," the Digimon says while fluttering over their heads.
"What the...?" the two pilots say as they see her.
The President says, "They'll explain on the way, but you need to head down to Louisiana immediately!"
