Chapter 2
Ken stood silently in the drizzling rain. His long coat and black hat shielded him from any of the falling water, and he just stood on the grass looking at the building half a kilometre out into the filed down the hill he was on. It looked so quiet and peaceful, like a sleeping lion. He was probably visible to anyone in the building, but they wouldn't raise any alarms over one person standing there. Or two, because Yolei just slowly and quietly walked up beside him. She took a similar position, although she had a shorter coat and used a bright pink umbrella. Ken took a sucker from his pocket, pulled the wrapper off, and stuck it in his mouth.
Everything set? Ken asked.
You know it, Yolei said. This is the point of no return. Once the command is given, we have to go through with it. If you want to back out, now is the time. Ken turned his head to look into her eyes. He sizing her emotions up, something she always hated. Because he could tell so much about her by just looking at her, while she had to drag everything out of him verbally.
Do you want to back out? Ken asked.
No, this has to be done. These guys have gone too far. Did you know they kidnapped Ozlimon and Demireumon and Azuma? Kovin and Kelryn must be going crazy. Yolei kicked the ground as she spoke.
When we get in there we can see what we can find out for them, but it's not our first or main job.
I know, I know. It's just that their are friends, even though we left on a bad note, I still want to help them.
So do I, Ken said. Then let's do it. He pulled the empty sucker stick from his mouth and dropped it to the ground. He reached into the coat's pocket and retrieved a flare gun. He pointed it up to the dismal grey sky. he said quietly and pulled the trigger. A bang, and then a brightly glowing red ball of fire came forth. It arced into the sky making a horrible shrilling noise as it went. Ken pulled a second shell out of his pocket and put it into the gun and watched as fifteen mortar shells came at the building from fifteen different points around it. They hit at almost the same time, but thankfully at different points on the huge structure. Two more volleys followed and the guns went silent.
Several flames were visible in a few parts of the building, but its design would keep them contained. People started spilling out. Some looked military and had weapons ready, others were dressed in civilian clothes and had digimon with them. Ken saw several of the familiar flashes of light from digivolving and fired the gun a second time. This flare was bright green but made the same shrill noise. Around the points of the mortar shells he saw some of their own digimon come out.
Agumon warp-digivolve to ... Wargreymon
Gabumon warp-digivolve to ... Metalgarurumon
Biyomon warp-digivolve to ... Phoenixmon
Tentomon warp-digivolve to ... Herculeskabuterimon
Gomamon warp-digivolve to ... Plesiomon
Veemon warp-digivolve to ... Imperialdramon
Armadillomon warp-digivolve to ... Vikemon
How did all seven of our little Omegas get to mega so fast? Yolei asked.
They broke up a lot of fights. I asked Martin the same question, it was legit. I don't think he'd have believed it himself if he hadn't seen it, Ken replied. You two want to join the fun? They turned to Hawkmon and Wormmon.
Hawkmon said, Wormmon simply nodded.
Hawkmon digivolve to ... Aquilamon digivolve to ... Halsemon
Wormmon digivolve to ... Stingmon digivolve to ... Paildramon
The two ultimates ran down the hill to join the seven megas in taking out the digimon defending the rouge watcher's satellite base. It was the only base they knew off, so it had to be attacked for information. Mainly, the location of their headquarters.
They're all ultimate level, Yolei said referring to the defending force. Seventeen ultimates against two ultimates and seven megas.
Should be a quick match, let's get moving, Ken said. They got into a small Jeep parked behind them and drove down the hill to meet one half of their forces that were hiding in the forest. The plan now was to let the digimon attack, and back them up on two fronts. They pulled up to the rest of the watcher militia. I'm still surprised the watchers had this kind of force or firepower.
Until a year ago, they didn't, Yolei replied.
Yeah, I know. You want the rifle? He offered her a high-range fully-automatic rifle.
These are all I need, she said and produced two side arms similar to TK's.
Tai and Sora should have the other group in position by now, Ken said. Let's go! His and Yolei's Jeep lead the six more of their half of the group right in through the chain link fence. The digimon battle was furious, but nothing their side couldn't handle. Ken noticed that one of them had already taken out the radio tower and the power lines. So the place was fully helpless. Yolei fell backwards in the Jeep when she saw a blast of light come at her. It took her a second to realise it was a digivice's D-Power arcing around a building. Four more followed in quick succession, two for her and two for Ken.
They are doing a lot of damage out there! Yolei said. She couldn't see their digimon but knew they must be alright. They were laying down fire driving the people that used to be in the building back into it. Ken stopped their Jeep when they met the one with Tai and Sora.
You guys doing alright? Tai asked.
Hell yes, Yolei said. They turned to see the last of the opposing digimon retreating with their partners into the sky. That was easy.
Terra destroyer! They heard the attack and saw a dark orange ball of energy explode in the group of digimon. Phoenixmon, Vikemon, Plesiomon, and Herculeskabuterimon were instantly reduced to rookies. If they were any other level, they would have been killed. Wargreymon, Metalgarurumon and Imperialdramon looked to the top of the building where the attack came from. There was a Blackwargreymon there and he fired again. Metalgarurumon and Imperialdramon were reduced to Gabumon and Veemon, but Wargreymon dodged the attack and flew to the rooftop in one jump. The Blackwargreymon didn't expect the attack so fast and was taken aback. They forgot their attacks and hit each other hard with the claws of their body armour. Wargreymon grabbed his doppelganger and threw them both off the roof. He kicked off halfway down and fired.
Terra force! The attack sent Blackwargreymon into the wall, but he landed on his feet. When Wargreymon landed he realised he was back to Agumon, having used up his strength.
Guys, he has a D-Power of almost three thousand! Sora yelled.
Don't newly digivolved digimon get a double-shot of power? Ken asked.
Yeah, stupid question, Tai said. Both Ken and Yolei held up their D3s and showed him the words Lev. Up' on the tiny screen. Do it, He said. They turned to their digimon who held back from the attack, knowing they would have been defeated easily.
Halsemon digivolve to ... Shurimon
Paildramon digivolve to ... Metalangemon
Ken asked. That's twice he's DNA digivolved without the other digimon.
He must be special, Yolei said. Get him! The elegant armoured eagle and the large metallic angel took off toward their remaining foe. Their combined D-Power was just over three thousand, so it should match up.
Terra destroyer!
Flaming sword!
Double stars! The three attacks came together in a energy blast that drove Blackwargreymon to the ground. He stood, but it was laboured and prepared to fire again.
Flaming sword! Metalangemon's attack came again and Blackwargreymon pixilated. Wormmon and Hawkmon appeared from the flashes of light as they reverted. Both fell to the ground face-first. Ken and Yolei ran up to them.
Guess I'm a little worn out, Wormmon said.
I'm going to sleep for a week, Hawkmon added. While they were tending their digimon the rest entered the building and began securing it. There were a few people left and some of watchers took them to get any verbal information they could from them. Yolei made use of a generator they brought and powered several computers.
They got a lot of stuff here. Their network is blow to hell but the server and a few computers are OK. Ken looked around at the mess of cable, and the patch job she did on it.
Anything interesting?
I have the location of the headquarters. North-west coast of British Columbia. Almost on the ocean. If they were going to take Ozlimon, Demireumon and Azuma anywhere, it would be there, Yolei said. We have to get there.
Just let me send a quick email, I think there are some other people we can get to help us. A guy TK and I know. We'll need all the friends we can get. We should take the Omegas, with us, but just warn the rest. Ken said.
Sounds good, Yolei said. Look at this! They both starred in disbelief at the screen. Ken turned to one of the higher ranking watchers behind him.
Get her, he said.
