Digipoke- chapter 12 - An Old friend returns

By Zombie

On The fifth floor of the hospital, where Izzy's room was to be exact, The elevator doors slid open and the fat man in a trench coat squeezed out into the lobby. The fat man turned quickly and shuffled down the hall towards Izzy's room.

" Excuse me sir?" asked one of the nurses as she stood up from her desk. The fat man pushed her aside with a warty green arm as he walked right to Izzy's door and barged right on in. Izzy turned to the intruder.

" Surprise Digi-destined!" sneared a voice from Izzys past! The fat man flung the coat and rags he had been wearing off, and in his place stood Ogermon! " It is Lord Devimon's will that you shall die today!" he sneared as he leapt at Izzy! Izzy barely had enough time to throw himself from the bed and dodge the powerful over head club attack! The club hit the bed a split second after Izzy jumped off, leaving a deep groove in the metal railings on the side!

" You can't run for ever Digi-loser!, I will catch you!" taunted Ogermon as he vaulted over the bed and at Izzy!

Tentomon suddenly burst from the closet and let loose with a super shocker! " Run Izzy, I'll deal with Big, Dumb and Ugly!" creid Tentomon as he stunned Ogermon with the electric attack. Izzy grabbed his clothes from the closet peg and fished around his pockets for his digivice.

" Tentomon, Digivolve!" commanded Izzy. Tentomon Digivolved into Kabuterrimon and burst through the hospital wall and over the street with Ogermon hanging off of his horn. " Err, we'll fix that later... Kabuterrimon, meet me on the roof!" yelled Izzy as he grabbed his clothes and took off out the door and ran down the hall towards the elevators. By now many doctors and Nurses we're scurrying this way and that trying to figure out what just happened, most were trying to evacuate other patients and get them outside. Izzy made it to the Elevator and slid in, his bare feet squeaking on the tile floor. The elevator began it's slow climb up to the 12th floor. Meanwhile, Kabuterrimon hovered over Ogermon, who stood on the street below.

" Electro shocker!" cried Kabuterrimon as he launched the destructive bolt at ogermon! Ogermon backfliped away from the beam which left a huge smoking crater where Ogermon would have been standing. The street was filled with screaming civialans whom fled from the cars and shops.

" A nice trick bug, but I have an even better one!" snarled Ogermon. Suddenly the ground shook as a huge Tyranamon faded into veiw! Before Kabuterrimon could react it swated him out of the sky! Kabuterrimon landed in a parking lot, crushing many cars in the process.

" That's not it!" smirked Ogermon, suddenly a humanoid Digimon apperared next to him. It had a sleek muscular frame, with a black suit on, he was dressed much like a ninja complete with sword and various ninja tools. Underneth the suit he had silver/white skin and solid blue eyes, he looked human, except he had no mouth.

Digimon analyzer:

Kagemon {Kag-ay-mon}

This freelance digimon uses his Martial arts and superior agility and speed to bring down his oppenents, He works for whomever pays him the most.

" Kagemon, on the roof top is your target, you know what to do." ordered Ogermon.

"Do not command me troll, I only do this because Lord Devimon has paid me well."

"Ha, you mercenary's kill me!, thats why we hired another monster-for-hire like your self!"

Kagemon's eyes narrowed into slits. " I work alone." he said coldly.

" Hah, but this Digimon is here to make sure you do your job, and do it well."

A cross between a man and a Shark appeared behind Ogermon.

Digimon Analyzer :

Remoramon : This short tempered Digimon fights as well on land as he does in the sea. His jaws can bite clean through a steel bar.

" Lets get em' I've been waiting far to long!" roared Remoramon as he lept off of a nearby car and began to scale the building.

Kagemon shot a cold look at Ogermon. Before he folowed.

Kabuterimon was having trouble dodging Tyranamon's fire blasts, when all over a sudden Garurumon leapt out of nowhere and slashed Tyranamon across the face! Togemon then lumbered into the fight as well.

" The odd's seem to be in our favor!" said Togemon as she punched her fists together.

" Get em' Togemon!" cheered Mimi. Matt,Brock, T.k, Sora,Mimi, Biyomon and Patamon stood well out of any Danger, Matt, Mimi, and Brock went into battle with The Digimon ( and Brock with his pokemon Onix and Vulpix)

" Come on Sora, let me fight!" begged Biyomon.

" We may need your strenght later Biyomon, but I think Gururumon, Togemon and Kabuterimon can take down a Tyrannamon." said Sora. Suddenly police sirens could be heard in the distance. " Oh oh. the police are coming!" Sora took T.k's hand and led him out of sight where they could be safe. Dozens of Poilice cars pulled up to where they had been standing momoents before. Officer Jenny got out of her squad car and stared in awe, A Giant Wolf,a giant Cockroch, a Dinosaur, and what looked like a Cactus were fighting in the streets, the neighborhood was looking in rough shape with smashed cars, Holes in buildings and a fire hydrant spaying water every where!

"Call in the National gaurd, and send in emergancy crews!" barked Jenny as she commanded several Police men about. " And someone get those kids out of there!" Jenny pointed to the Digidestined who were right in the middle of the battle cheering on the monsters.

Garurumon blasted Tyranamon with his Howling blaster, the attack sent the huge Dino realing, Kabuterrimon hovered over head and delivered the devistating Electro-shocker! Tyranmon staggered into the side of building and collapsed, he shortly vanished, leaving only destruction behind him. Gururmon de-digivolved back into Gabumon, as did Togemon. But Kabuterrimon looked around for Izzy.

" Matt!" called T.k as he came out of hiding with Sora.

" Everyone ok?" asked Sora, " Where's Kabuterrimon going?"

" He's going to get Izzy, he said to meet him back at the camp." said Mimi.

" Then lets get going, the Police are here, and we don't want to get questioned. " The gang began to retreat, but as they took of down a side street to avoid the police, a sqaud car pulled in front of them blocking the street off, Officer Jenny Lept out, and she did not look pleased.

" Why is it that where ever there is trouble, I find out that you kids are there?" asked Jenny. " I want to ask you kids some questions, come with me."

" But we-" started Sora.

" No buts, it's still not safe here, those monsters could be back any minute."

The digidestined had no choice but to go with officer Jenny and get into the squad car. Gabumon, Biyomon, Palamon and Patamon were hidden in a door way before Jenny confronted them, so they remained out of sight. Before the kids had left, Matt instucted them to get back to the camp and tell Joe what happened, he could get them out of this jam. Reluctantly the digimon obeyed, the couldn't help there friend if they were found out.

The 5 kids managed to squeeze into the squad car and it pulled away silently.

The elevator doors opened silently and Izzy got out, he finished buttoning up his shirt and started down the deserted hallway. It was way too quiet, even with the battle going on outside.

" Surprise!" roared a huge shark like monster as it burst from a room behind him! "Hydro beam!" cried Remoramon as he fired a blue cylindrical beam from his mouth! Izzy ducked just in time to avoid the attack, the beam blew apart two metal doors down the hall aways. He was on his feet running as fast as he could! He managed to reach a stair well and begin to climb to the roof top. As Izzy reached the top floor, he came face to face with Kagemon! There was no escape for the young Digidestined. But the Ninja did not attack, Remoramon suddenly appeared at the bottom of the stairwell.

" Kagemon, why have you not killed him?" demanded Remoramon.

" He is but a boy, he cannot be the target." said Kagemon as he sheathed his sword.

"Fool!, Lord Devimon has commanded you to assasinate him, if you don't he will make you suffer.

"But why would Devimon want to have but one child..." Kagemon started to say, then he noticed Izzy's Digivice on his belt. " The sacred Device!" said Kagemon in a shocked tone. " You are one of the digidestined!" Kagemon stepped between Izzy and Remoramon. " I cannot alow Devimon to harm one of the digidestined." Kagemon looked back at Izzy, " Run child, I will handle Remoramon, the worlds fate lies within your doings!" Kagemon drew his sword and crouched down, on gaurd for Remoramons attack. Izzy nodded and continued up the stairs.

" Fool!" screamed Remoramon, " You have allowed one of the Digidestined to escape, I'll take care of you then the boy!" Remoramon growled, " Hydro Beam!" cried Remoramon as he launched the attack at Kagemon! The beam was fast but Kagemon was faster as he leapt over the attack and planted a solid kick into Remoramon's face, sending the Shark-man backward down the stairs ,smack into a wall. "A nice move Ninja, but I'm still going to win!", Remoramon launched himself off the wall and attempted to tackle Kagemon, as agile as Kagemon is he was in to confined of an area to dodge the attack, he was hurled backward onto the stairs with a bone crunching thud! When Izzy reached the roof, he was greeted by a blast of cool air, Kabuterimon flew into sight.

" Izzy climb aboard!" shouted Kabuterrimon. Izzy ran over to his digimon. Suddenly Kagemon and Remoramon burst onto the roof top in a deadly wrestling match. Kagemon managed to roll away from the Powerful Remoramon. He crouched low on the balls of his feet,his sword had a crimson stain on it. Remoramon looked like he was in rough shape, he was bruised and his side had a long red slash on it.

" It ends now!" bellowed Remoramon as he charged at Kagemon like an enraged bull! The battered Kagemon stood his ground, he held his sword pointed down,reversed in his pale hands. The sharp blade began to glow faintly as Remoramon continued his charge! Just as Remoramon reached him, Kagemon lunged forward and called out his attack: Bushido Blade! He brought the glowing sword up fast into Remoramon's mid-section and finished the deadly slice! Kagemon stood with his back to the still Remoramon, whom still stood quivering slightly. Kagemon sheathed his sword as Remoramon sagged to his knees and fell to the ground, dead. A crimson pool filled around him slowly. Kagemon turned to Izzy and Kabuterrimon.

" Thank you so much for your help!" called out Izzy " I never would have made it with out you!"

Kagemon bowed. "Remeber young Digi-destined, It is you and your friend that must protect this world and defeat the evil Digimon. " I must go attend to other matters, be careful." said Kagemon as he lept of the side of the building, and vanished.

"Kabuterrimon, where are the others?" asked Izzy as Kabuterrimon felw away from the roof top.

" They said they would be back at camp, are you sure you want to leave the hospital?, Should'nt you wait until you are better?" said Kabuterrimon as he flew toward Viridain forest.

" I could not stay there another minute!" exclaimed Izzy as he hung tighter to Kabuterimon's Helemt like carapace. "The food was well below my standereds of quality."

Officer sat across from Sora,Misty, Mimi, Matt, Brock,and T.k. on the cold , hard plastic table of the questioning room.

" I want to know why the names you gave me are the same names of seven kids that went missing over 50 years ago at summer camp." said Jenny as she sat across from them.

"Uh, well you see, we," said Matt nervously.

"Mabey we should just tell her." whispered Sora.

" Yes I think you should." said Jenny.

" Well alright then, Uh you may not belive this story but..." Matt went on to tell there whole story from when they were taken from summer camp till when they arrived a few days ago. Officer jenny sat speechless.

" Well you guys do have an imagination, I'll give you that." said jenny when she was able to talk.

" You don't belive us?" asked Mimi in a shocked tone.

" That has to be one of the most far-fetched stories I have ever heard." There was a knock at the door, Jenny got up and went over to the officer that had knocked. " I'll be back in a couple of minutes." said Jenny as she walked out with the officer.

" Ma'am, I have those files you requested from The Department of Missing people.

The officer handed Jenny a white folder. In it were Documents and Picturs of the seven kids that had gone missing. She walked over to the One way mirror and looked in on the kids. She pulled out the first document. The name read Izumi,Koushiro, the picture was of a smiling kid with his parents at the home during the holidays. It read in his history that he had been adopted by them as a baby. The boy's face did not match up with anyone she'ed seen yet so she moved on. The next file was T.k's, the pictures were of a little boy and his older brother along with their parents. The picture was dated 1995, four years before they had both gone missing. The next picture was of Takeru with his Mother a few months later. The file read that Takeru's parents were divorced in late 1995. The Boy in the picture was with out a doubt the same boy that sat in the room in front of her. Jenny fliped through the pages until she reached Matt's. The most recent picture was his school picture from 1997, aside from slightly shorter hair, Jenny was sure that it was the same person. She checked with all of the others, Only Brock and Misty were not involved in the missing persons case, Jenny had know about them before, and they were not the type to lie about somthing this serious. Jenny went back into the room. She did not know what to make of this whole thing. The kids couldn't be lying, but could they be telling the truth?

Just then there was another knock on the door, the same Policeman poked his head in.

" Ma'am someone else is here and he wants to talk to you about this whole missing kids thing." said the officer.

" Oh then send him on in." said Jenny. An old man dressed in a colorful robe walked into the room.

" Genni!" said Matt,Sora,Mimi. and T.k all at once.

" Hi kids, nice to see you again,keeping out of trouble I see." said Genni. " Now Miss what seems to be the problem?" asked Genni.

Kagemon kept to the side streets avoiding human contact as much as posible. Suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks. he could sense evil behind him.

" Devimon..." muttered Kagemon.

" Correct." said Devimon as he materialized behind Kagemon. "I Know what you did, I know all about how let one of the Digidestined escape." Devimon frowned. The ally began to grow dark, even thought it was day time out. " I also know that you killed one of my minions, and protected the child. You have sealed your own fate." Devimon shot his arm out and seized Kagemon around his neck. Kagemon dangled about a foot off the ground, he stuggled in vain agianst Devimon's leathal grip. " You knew of what would happen if you failed, now you shall become my slave." Dark energy coursed out of Devimon and flowed into Kagemon, corrupting him and possesing his soul. Devimon grinned at his new servent. " Now, what must you do?"

Kagemon was on his hands and knees, he rose slowly, his once blue eyes now black like a moonless night. " I must destroy the digidestined, my master."

"Much Better, now go!" commanded Devimon as he faded away again. Kagemon began to go about his new mission, to kill the digidestined.

Izzy clung tightly to Kabuterrimon as he buzzed over the tall trees of Viridian forest, the leaves rippling in his wake. Izzy's head had begun to pound again, he obviously wasn't ready for action yet.

" Hold on , were aproching the camp." said Kabuterrimon as he banked around and came to a landing in a clearing near the camp. Once Izzy slid off, he de-digivolved back into Tentomon.

" I'm pooped," exclaimed Tentomon. " Thats the longest I've been Kabuterrimon for quite some time!" Tentomon looked over at Izzy. " Izzy you don't look to well, perhaps yoou should have stayed at the hospital?"

" And get another visit from Devimon's goons?, I think not."

" I suppose so, but you need to get some rest, lets get back to camp."

" I agree." The two headed towards the camp. When they arrived they saw Tai, a sleeping Joe and Gomamon, Agumon, Ash, and Pikachu sitting near the camp fire attempting to roast a can of beans.

" Pika!" anounced Pikachu as he saw Izzy and Tentomon.

"Izzy, good to see ya!" said Tai as he waved to him," Decided to check out earlier the planned?"

" Let's just say that Devimon insisted I don't get better soon."

"Hey is everone alright?" saod Tai as he took some serious intrest in the new topic.

" I think so, the others are coming back here last I heard.

" Are Brock and Misty with them?" asked Ash as he attempted to turn the hot can with a stick.

" Yup, they were at the hospital too, just before Ogermon showed up with some evil Digimon called Remoramon and Kagemon."

" Fill us in, we need some campfire stories." said Tai as he attempted to scoop out some beans with a plastic fork. Izzy plopped down and began to massage his forehead.

" Hey you don't look to good, mabey you should have stayed." said Ash as he noticed Izzy.

"I'm fine I just have a headache. Besides the Doctors said that it wasn't as serious as eairlier thought, mainly I have to let my Arm heal." Izzy held on to his cast. " They said that It's would be better in a bout a week or two."

" Still, you should take it easy." said Tai through a mouth full of beans.

"I plan to." Suddenly, Pikachu cocked his head towards the nearby path. " Pika?" he asked questioningly. Biyomon, Togemon,Patamon and Gabumon came running towards them all out off breath.

" Gabumon?, whats wrong? wheres Matt and the others?" asked Tai as he noticed the lack of humans in the crowd.

" Matt told me to tell you guys that they were captured!" said Gabumon in a worried voice.

"Captured?" said Everyone in unison.

" Yes, by some people called the police!"

" They we're arrested?" said Ash.

" Yes thats the word Matt used!" remarked Gabumon. " And the said that you guys would have to figure a way to get them out!"

Tai went over to Joe and nudged him and Gomamon awake. " Wake up Joe theres trouble!" said tai as he shook Joe.

With a moan Joe opened his eyes. " For once I want to wake up to a peaceful normal morning!"

About twenty minutes later, Genni, Sora, Mimi, Matt, T.k , Brock and Misty walked out of the police station free to go. Officer Jenny had to let them go, even as suspicious as they were she had no evidence to convict them,and no crime with which to charge them.The that old man showed up and actually backed up their crazy story. Then there was that nagging thought, what if it was true. But there was a greater problem, preventing these monster attacks, and keeping Viridian city safe. Jenny returned to her office and returned to solving the problem.

" Jesse, why is it that we always seem to be on the losing team?" asked James as he limped down the path deep within Viridian forest.

" But how could the worlds most notorious not to mention stunning Team ever to grace the world be losers?" said Jesse whom at the time was covered from head to toe in mud and dirt.

" Even when we we're joined up with an all powerful Demon with ambitions to rule the world and his own private army to back him up, we still lost."

James suddenly lept up and cried: "It must be Karma!" James seemed to be losing it as he broke down sobbing on the ground. " This is all my fault, all because of that time when I was but a boy and didn't pay to get onto the sub-way!" James began to wail and relive all of his exploits.

Jesse calmly smashed James down with a mallet.

" Good call." smirked Meowth.

" Right, well if we are going to hope for a chance at winning it big someday, we have to think like the winners."

" I sense that your scheaming up a diabolical plan in that silly haired noggin' of yours." said Meowth with a sly grin.

" Naturaly." said Jesse with a flashy smile. The two conscience members of Team Rocket headed down the path, dragging the limp form of James behind them. " Wait, what did you say about my hair?" asked Jesse as she finaly caught on.
