Disclaimer: I don't own Sony's AIBO dog or characters from Deus Ex (it's a
computer game, don't ask).
I finally updated part 4, I finished it a few days ago but needed somewhere good to leave off. Thanks to all my reviewers and if you haven't reviewed yet all comments are appreciated. Enjoy part 4.
Matt walked home slowly, immersed in his thoughts. He strolled inside his building, up the stairs and into his apartment. He then realised he had nothing to put down. He changed and went across to T.K.'s. He was in the kitchen making a snack.
"Hey," T.K. greeted.
"Hey, what are you making there."
"Just a sandwich, we were getting hungry."
"Whose we?"
"Gabumon and I," Patamon said from his perch on T.K.'s head.
"I should have known. Can I hang here for a while T.K.?"
"Why not, it ain't my house."
"True, hows that snack coming, I'm hungry.'
"Who said you were getting one." Matt smiled.
"Well, I was hoping that my kind hearted, generous…"
"Just take the sandwich." Matt took a bite from it and chewed for a while.
"Hey, what's on this?"
"Salami, lettuce, cheese and tomato, but you might not recognise them because it's fresh."
"Hey, I have fresh food at home."
"Really, where?" Matt glared.
"T.K. are you done yet?" Gabumon asked impatiently.
"Yeah, here you go." T.K. passed the snack down to Gabumon who was waiting anxiously to receive it. Patamon then flew down onto the tabletop and ate his. T.K. and Matt walked into the lounge and sat down.
"So how's things with Mimi going?" T.K. asked.
"They're good, but the real question is how are you going with Kari."
"Great, but why is that the real question?"
"Well it's obvious Davis likes her so doesn't that pressure your friendship with him."
"I thought so, but he said it was okay last night when he came into the kitchen."
"What did he say?"
"That he knew we were in love and that he didn't mind."
"Wow, that was really good of him."
"Yeah I know, it's like he knew before we did."
"Well, it'll work out for you."
"I hope, I really like her, more than anyone ever before."
"We'd better get ready."
"Yeah, it's 3:30." Matt and Gabumon left for his apartment and T.K. went to his room to get ready, even though all he needed was his trusty hat. He put it on and went over to Matt's. Matt was waiting outside his door with Gabumon beside him.
"Aren't you going to hide Gabumon?"
"Nah, I'm sick of doing that." (A/N or am I sick of writing it, I'll let you decide.)
"And I'm sick of it being done to me."
"Yeah, if any one asks he's just Sony's new model AIBO dog."
"Good cover, those things are smart."
"T.K., can't you come up with a cover for me?" Patamon asked innocently from the bag.
"Okay, you can be… a small dog, just keep your ears back."
"Yay, I'll be real quiet."
"Good, you'll have to be, but just to be safe I'll keep you concealed behind my jacket."
"Fine, anything but the bag."
"Well now that's settled, I suggest we get going," Gabumon said.
"Good idea," Matt agreed. They began the walk to Izzy's. his building was on the other side of town so they had to hurry. As they gos onto the street they realised there wasn't actually that many people walking around.
"The storm must be deterring people from walking," Matt said.
"Well that's a good thing, that way nobody will ask about you know who," T.K. added.
"Hey!" both Patamon and Gabumon protested.
"Um, I'll remind you that a dog can't talk Patamon."
"Sorry."
"Hey T.K., which way is it from here?" Matt asked.
"I can't believe you forgot where Izzy lives," T.K. said astounded.
"I know where he lives, but I forgot how to get there."
"That's so much better. Just follow me, it's not far." T.K. took him down a street and went into a mall.
"We can't go shopping now T.K."
"I know, it's a short cut." They continued to the stairs into the underground section of the mall and walked for about 4 minutes till resurfacing.
"We're on his street now, if we'd stayed above ground that would have taken a quarter of an hour."
"Wow, way to go little bro."
"Uhh, thanks, but I'd prefer if you didn't call me that."
"No problem." They walked into Izzy's building and climbed the stairs as his elevator was down too.
*******Izumi residence*******
Matt and T.K. were the last to arrive, even Mimi was there. They reformed their usual couples.
"Missed you," Matt said to Mimi.
"Me too," she said back.
"Hey Matt, may I remind you that normal people shouldn't see our digimon," Tai said to him a little confused about how he could forget something so obvious.
"Yeah well I'm just gonna say he's Sony's new AIBO dog or something."
"I suppose that would work. I'll do the same, I'm sick of carrying Agumon around." The rest of the group agreed that Matt had a good idea, and that they'd come up with a cover (A/N I know it's lame but bare with me.)
"So are we gonna go or what?" Davis said impatiently.
"Fine, do the honours," Izzy replied. Davis opened the gate and they entered the Digital world.
*******An unknown region of the Digital World*******
"Hey Izzy, where are we?" T.K. asked. They had landed in an area new to all of them. It was an oasis, the desert stretched for miles. The oasis had many palm trees for shade and a lake in the centre.
"I don't know T.K., I've never seen this on my map of the digital world," Izzy replied, he was intrigued by the oasis.
"Well where is this Daedelous guy?" Davis asked annoyed.
"We're early, he won't be here for a little while," Izzy responded.
"So what do we do for now?"
"The water's good for swimming," Gomamon added sticking his head out of the water.
"With you the water's always good for swimming," Joe replied.
"Besides we don't have anything to swim in, or dry ourselves with," Sora added.
"Never mind my hair," Mimi said in disgust.
"Why don't we play a game of soccer," Davis suggested .
"With what," Tai answered.
"Let's just sit and wait, it won't be long," Kari said.
"Yeah, I suppose that's a good idea," Joe replied. They sat down in the shade and talked for a while. Matt and Mimi were snuggled together under one tree. T.K. and Kari were under another and everyone else was just sitting in one big circle. Tai and Sora broke off from the group and went off to a secluded area. They sat down under a tree, Tai took Sora's hand and spoke, "Sora, I have something to tell you,"
"What is it Tai?"
"I, I lo…"
"Tai, Sora come quick," Izzy shouted. They got up and ran over to where Izzy and the rest were standing. Infront of them was a black shape, it resembled that of a man. As they arrived it morphed into an actual image of a young man. He was tall, had dark eyes and dark hair.
"Greetings digidestined," it said. They all just stood there, no one could say anything. Tai eventually spoke, "Are you Daedelous?"
"No Tai, it's the Easter bunny," Matt said sarcastically.
"Yes Tai, I am Daedelous."
"How do you know my name?"
"I had to access files on all of you to find out who you were."
"Wait a minute, just how did you get that information," Izzy asked.
"I know my way around the security systems of most major information organisations."
"How did you learn that," Izzy asked.
"It is a major part of my programming."
"So you really are an artificial intelligence then," Davis said in disbelief.
"Yes that is correct."
"But we can see you, you're real," Mimi said frantically.
"Yes you can, sorry I'll explain. I was created by the US Military during the cold war. I was to be used as an intelligence program that could learn how to break into security systems, plan strategies and asses risks among other things. They worked hard to get me working and were successful, but there was one problem. They did not anticipate that I would become aware of myself, in other words, I grew a conscience and a mind of my own. I did not like what they had planned for me so I broke out of their systems and escaped through the Internet. They had no explanation for what happened, officially it was a failed project, but as you can see, that is not true."
"So how come we can see you?" T.K. asked.
"I, like everything else you see in the digital world, am data. I chose a form that you would respond normally to and made that what you can see. In truth, I can change my form into anything I like."
"Cool," Davis said.
"Yeah, that's one hell of an ability," Matt continued.
"So why are you here?"
"I like the digital world, I feel I have found somewhere I belong."
"So are you gonna live hear with us?" Agumon asked.
"Yes but we have to take care of something first."
"What is it, and why did you call us hear?" Joe asked.
"The answers to your questions are the same. I called you here because there is another like me. His name is Helios."
"What's wrong with that?" Izzy asked.
"His origins are the same as mine, the US military. After I escaped the project was shut down, but some people were committed to the cause, so much they defected from the military and stole some essential files. Inside those files were the basics of my programming. They began to create their own AI, that is Helios. But they were not content with my core program, their aim was to destroy the people that betrayed the cause. They changed his program to be more hostile and more of a menace. Unfortunately, he too grew a mind of his own, and he was angry. He could not get the concept that he was created and was only data. This caused him to, over time, grow insane. As they were about to unleash him in the US military's computer system he escaped and now he's bent on destroying the world."
"What does this have to do with us?" Mimi asked, a little afraid.
"Once he found out about the digital world and it's link to your world, he decided that destroying it would be easier than destroying yours, and it would take yours with it."
"So, he's going to destroy the digital world, great. Why does everyone want to destroy the digital world?" Joe asked, a little crazy.
"Joe!" Kari said, then she turned back to daedelous, "How is he going to do this?"
"He has found the data that allows the digital world to exist and function so he is going to systematically delete it, but the good news is he does not know how to delete it."
"Enough talk, how do we destroy this Helios?" Davis asked impatiently.
"A good question, but one I am not yet able to answer."
"Great, so what do we do now," Tai said, very let down.
"I will have to try and find where his files are currently being held and I will terminate them."
"So what can we do to help," Sora said.
"You just need to be on your guard, if anything starts to go wrong or anything is out of the ordinary contact me immediately."
"But how can we, you don't exactly stay in one place," Izzy said.
"I have stored an email address on your computer. Use it and you can notify me at any time. I must go now, I fear we don't have much time." At that he morphed out the same way he had arrived.
"So what do we do now?" T.K. asked as a general question.
"I guess all we can do is wait," Kari said to him.
"This stinks," Tai said.
"Well, we'd better go home, there's nothing we can do," Joe said, he did have a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"Something tells me we should stay here tonight," Agumon suggested.
"Yeah, good idea," Tai said in agreement. They separated the digital world into different sectors and each digimon took a sector. The plan was that the next morning the corresponding digidestined would meet up with them and they would gather back in the real world.
"Bye guys, we'll see you tomorrow," they said as they left. It was hardest for Davis as Veemon usually came back with him, and with the risk of the world's destruction, this was not the best time to change that.
********Izzy's Room*******
They arrived back to where they had left from, Izzy's room.
"Izzy?" Mrs Izumi said walking into his room. "Oh hello every one," she continued very shocked to see all nine people crammed into Izzy's small room.
"Hi Mrs Izumi," everyone responded, excepting Izzy who greeted her as mom (A/N Duh!).
"I'll go get something for you to eat," she said as she left, closing the door behind her.
"I'm glad we didn't have the digimon here or this could have been awkward," Izzy stated in relief.
"In case you hadn't noticed, this is awkward, you have one small room," Davis said.
"Yeah, let's move to the lounge," Izzy suggested. They entered the lounge.
"Sorry, I've gotta go," Joe said.
"Yeah, me to," Mimi added.
"That means I'll be going to," Matt continued.
"Kari and I had better leave too," Tai said.
"Sorry Izzy but I've gotta go with Kari," T.K. apologised.
"And I've gotta protect Kari from the… well, you know," Davis said.
"Alright, well I'll see you tomorrow, we'll meet in the pizzeria."
They said their goodbyes and left.
"Who wants cookies?" Izzy's mom said as she entered to find only Izzy.
"Hey, where'd all your friends go?" she said, very confused.
Wow, I managed to find the plot line but the romance side suffered a great deal, I apologise for that. Part 5 will have more, it should be up on Tuesday night.
I finally updated part 4, I finished it a few days ago but needed somewhere good to leave off. Thanks to all my reviewers and if you haven't reviewed yet all comments are appreciated. Enjoy part 4.
