Centaurmon ignored the snoring Gekomon and walked up to one of the
Numemon that were serving as messengers in this whole enterprise Master
Zedomon had started.

"Check if this happened to all the Gekomon in the base." He ordered.

The Numemon nodded and jumped down one shaft, in search of the rest
of the Numemon that would receive orders.

***

Jay looked around one corner. When he saw the coast was clear, he
signaled behind him and Elle, O, M, and Y quickly ran past him to the
next corner.

Ogremon walked past calmly, as if he were in the park.

"What's wrong with you? You want to get us killed?!" Jay muttered as
he reached them.

"What? Are you afraid of a group of Numemon's finding us?!" Ogremon
laughed.

"... Listen, if you are going to help, you will follow orders!" Jay
answered.

"Or what?"

"Or I'll kick your butt!"

Ogremon doubled over so he could stare at Jay in the eye. "Wanna bet?"

Elle quickly stepped between them. "Listen guys, this is serious, it's
no time to let your challenging instincts take control."

Jay and Ogremon nodded.

"And... Ogremon?" Elle asked, looking up.

"Yes?"

"Stop looking at my cleavage."

***

The Numemon waited until they had walked away from the vent he was
hiding in before moving off to spread the word.

***

Kay frowned at the small sphere as Wizardmon used a scrying spell to
let everyone see what was happening.

"If that..."

"Numemon," Mimi supplied.

"...Numemon," Kay continued. "gets to Centaurmon, Slick and the others
will have more trouble..."

"What do you mean by 'more'?" Zed asked.

"The Tyrannosaur or whatever it is, is in the arms bay."

"Tyrannomon." Meramon supplied.

U, still a little uncomfortable with being in the same room as
their former enemies fidgeted a little.

Zed noticed this.

He and his group of stray agents had managed to get to the closest
elevator undetected and had finally joined the only organized group
in all the base.

"Listen, Kay, why don't we send a group to that level and create a
distraction for our other group?"

"U, you will take..." Kay looked around. He couldn't send more agents
without seriously compromising their position. "Meramon... and create
a distraction."

"Just the two of us?!" U asked in surprise.

"Yes." Kay answered, annoyed. "Wasn't I clear enough?"

U saluted. "Uh, no sir! You were clear enough!"

***


The Numemon slid out of the air vent and started running towards
Centaurmon... when the later was blasted to the wall by a ball of flame
and a blue ray.

The Numemon stopped and stared at the MIB Agent and Meramon as they ran
towards him.

"GET HIM!" U shouted pointing directly at the Numemon, who opened his
eyes so wide it almost took his whole head and jumped, running away.

***

Unaware of the situation above them, Jay and his group continued towards
the weapons bay.

***

Centaurmon struggled to his feet and shook his head to clear it. He
then noticed Meramon holding one of the humans. The last remains of
the Numemon were becoming Digidust.

"What happened?" he asked.

"This human killed the Numemon, but he revealed himself and I stopped
him." Meramon answered, as U struggled to get free of his grasp.

"Why are you here? Are the upper floors cleared?"

Meramon nodded.

"Good! Now we can clear the last of master Zedomon's enemies and go
back."

"No you won't!" someone shouted, and U looked up as agent B ran
towards them, and shot Meramon, who dropped him and evaded the blast.

"Run, U! I've got you covered!"

***

U cursed under his breath as he dove for cover into one of the corridors
to the side. B's intentions were good, but he had inadvertly crumbled
his and Meramon's plan to gather all the Digimon in this level.

Meramon also dove for cover into another corridor. Centaurmon, however,
decided to stop the human right then. Ignoring the blasts that the
noisy cricket created when it was shot, he pulled up his gun-arm and
fired.

The blast hit Agent B full force in the chest, and U decided that
they would take care of the Digimon in this floor another way.

Pulling from his back a rather large rifle, he blasted Centaurmon
against the wall.

Meramon, apparently deciding the same thing, started gathering fiery
energy in his hands.

As Centaurmon again struggled to get to his feet, Meramon let out a
fairly large fireball. The kind you wouldn't like to hit you.

Needless to say, Centaurmon didn't like it either. He stumbled away,
and the propulsors on his back activated, shooting him through the
corridor. Before either of them could react, he had disappeared from
view.

U ran towards B, shouting over his shoulder. "How much time?!"

"I don't know!" Meramon shouted, looking around from the corner of the
corridor. "We got him pretty hard, but Centaurmon's very strong!"

U didn't answer, as he knelt next to B. Fortunately, the Black Suit
they used was designed to disperse energy when it hit(1)... that,
however, didn't stop the complete force of the impact, even if it
lessened it.

So, while outwardly, B seemed fine, if a little shaken, there was the
possibility of internal damage.

U systematically checked his fellow agent, and after a few moments
declared him suitable to survive the blast, if not the migraine.

Applying some Jusendian pressure points, he was able to revive him
after a few seconds, to the surprise of Meramon.

"Pays to study the manuals." He answered to the unspoken question.

***

B slowly opened his eyes... everything seemed blurry until his eyes
focused in the nearest glowing object.

A guy made out of flames.

That wasn't normal.

Then, he remembered that this guy had been holding Agent U and jumped
to his feet, while his hands automatically went for his gun.

His hands, however, couldn't find his gun... and his feet rebelled
against standing after the rest of his body had received a rather
shocking experience.

So, the only thing he managed was to almost stand, then drop on his
butt, hands flailing.

"B!"

"I won't tell you anything!"

"B!"

B shook his head. "You'll have to torture me!"

"B!"

"And even then-" he stopped short when someone grabbed him by the
shoulders and turned him around.

That someone turned out to be U. "Listen, B, you're not in immediate
danger, unless you don't shut up and let me talk."

B nodded, glancing at Meramon uncertainly.

"B, where is your communicator?" U asked.

"Um... well..." B stammered.

"You left it behind?"

"Uh, no. When we were attacked, my watch was blown away by one of his
blasts..." he answered pointing at Meramon.

U sighed.

"Well, let me explain..."

***

As U explained the situation briefly, Jay and his group approached the
arms bay.

They opened the door and slid in. As they walked past row after row
after row of carefully marked boxes, Jay looked at the others nervously.

"We'd better keep quiet..." Jay whispered as he glanced around the huge
warehouse with the amazing amount of giant boxes.

"I don't think there's real need, Jay." Elle said, as she took a step
back. O, M, Y and Jay looked to where she was staring.

Tyrannomon looked down at the little nuisances and growled, his eyes
glinting evilly.

End Chapter
---

(1) I noticed that most of the time, when one agent was struck by any
ray, he wouldn't blow up. While this may be because of MIB Cartoon
series being a kids show -and you know how censors are about blood-, I
decided that maybe there was another explanation, and this is it.

Well, another chapter, and I'm back to bussiness! Exams have finished,
job can wait a little and life is good right now.

So, I can write.

As usual, comments, flames, and all that to: wanadererd@hotmail.com

Later!
