Hey! Sorry this took so long. I have a good excuse, but I doubt you want to hear it. Anyway, I've finally found out what henry's dad's name is (it's Jonya) and the blond girl's name too (Tally). I want to forewarn you that I have no idea whether Yamaki is a first or last name, so I put in a last name for Yamaki. Oh and this story takes place somewhere between when the bull and sheep deva arrive and when the pig Deva comes. I know there are inaccuracies, so if you see any, e-mail me and I will correct them in upcoming chapters. Now then, on with the story:
Chapter 2
"DAD! I'm home." Henry called as he opened the door. Ken was trailing behind him, caught between annoyance and curiosity. The emperor, being the way he is, ran a finger along the counter and looked utterly disgusted at the dust on his finger. However, Henry didn't notice and Ken didn't comment, so no harm was done. When there was no answer from Henry's call, he tried again. This time a pink blur ran up at lightning speed and pounced on Henry, making him flinch.
"Henwy! You're home." Suzy said in her high pitch voice as she hugged her brother. She still hadn't overcome her lisp of replacing R's with W's. "Did you bwing Tewiermon?"
"Yes, Suzy." Henry sighed. He wrenched Terriermon off his neck with much difficulty, since Terriermon was in a death grip with his head, and handed the digimon to Suzy with him glaring daggers at Henry. However, before the young girl was able to grab what she thought was just a doll, her eyes drifted over to the indigo haired boy standing behind her brother. Like Takato, Suzy's eyes widened and her face lit up at what she saw. Suzy practically attacked the unfortunate ruler of the digital world.
"It KEN! I can't believe it Henwy. You actually bwought home Ken Ichijouji." Suzy cried as she squeezed the taller boy's waist.
"Ahh! Kid, get off me." Ken cried, struggling against the girl who must have been at least half his size. Henry started to crack up and Ken got very angry and started yelling at him to get his sister away from him. But before Henry could bring himself to break up this incredibly amusing scene, the door opened and Mr. Wong walked in.
"Sorry I'm late, everyone. My boss made everyone stay late to work on a new program. And then, right before I left the office, this emergency e-mail showed up and it-" Mr. Wong explained. He was looking down at a slip of paper that looked like it was printed from a computer. When Mr. Wong looked up, he abruptly stopped talking and quickly pocketed the paper. Everyone just stood in silence, unsure of what to do.
"Hey, dad." Henry said, breaking the silence. Mr. Wong cocked his head slightly, staring non-blinking at Ken. But then he seemed to realize what he was doing and tore his gaze from the emperor and shook his head.
"You're home early, Henry. Is this you're guest?" Mr. Wong said slowly.
"Uhh, yeah." Henry said stupidly. "The is-"
"Ichijouji, Ken, sir." Ken interrupted, bowing slightly. Even thought he was completely out of place, Ken felt no need to rely on someone else to introduce him. However, Mr. Wong seemed even more startled at the name, but didn't comment. Henry, sensing rejection from his dad, stepped into action.
"Look dad, Ken's only staying the night. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but-" Henry said, but his dad cut him off.
"Don't worry about it. Just wait for after dinner, there's something I have to ask you. Now, why don't you pry your sister of the poor boy and start setting the table." Mr. Wong said. He gave a small smile to his son, who nodded.
*At the location of the disappeared digital field.*
"This is stupid. Now I know Yamaki's lost it." Mitsuo, one of the workers from SOU 3 said. He was standing with his partner Shin. Both were working with a variety of devices that blinked and buzzed in many combinations.
"Just be glad we're doing independent work. With all the research we've been doing with the juggernaut program, this is a nice change." Shin said.
He turned on what looked like a pole with an oval shaped display screen on the top. The screen, though it looked about the size of a spread out human hand, just gave off a small red light at the bottom. Shin moved it to the left and the light turned green.
"Digital matter has been detected at point 6.83 on area grid. Moving on to next area." Shin talked into an intercom. He picked up another pole and walked to another section. As he set it up the digimatter detector, he turned to see his partner fiddling with something that looked like a phaser that had come straight out of star trek. "What are you doing, by the way."
"Trying to get this blasted thing to work. I was given this piece of equipment with out a briefing on how it worked. It's the latest development on tracking digimon, but right now it's making me wish I had never left the Japanese central intelligence." said Mitsuo
"Oh come on. This is much more interesting than being at JCI. What did you do there, anyway?" Shin said, trying to make conversation.
"You know I worked as a top physicist in area of dimensional fields. The only reason I'm even here is because Yamaki needed some good theorists in that field of science. I've forgotten, why are you here?" Mitsuo asked.
"Used to be a computer programmer for Microsoft-Japan. Then I got a chance to sign up for a top secret government research job and I jumped at the chance. I never realized I'd be running around, chasing creatures from a child's game that were actually created by a bunch of collage students." Shin said with a sigh. Mitsuo chuckled a little as Shin set up the pole and moved it until the light turned green, speaking into his intercom ("digital matter detected at point 7.56 on area grid."). Instead of picking up another pole, Shin walked back and stood next to his colleague.
"I think I've got it." Mitsuo said triumphantly as the small screen on the phaser type of device. He pressed a few of the buttons on the side but none of them did anything. He swore loudly.
"The thing's a piece of junk. And it probably doesn't even do anything. And if it does, whatever was here is now far, far away." Shin said. However at that moment, a pink-blue light shot out to the end and showed a path of glowing particles.
"I'm sorry, were you saying something?" Mitsuo said happily with a hint of sarcasm.
"Very nice, but just what is that stuff?" Shin said, annoyed at his partners success. He wasn't very keen on being wrong.
"Looks like digital matter. Digimon start emitting it as soon as they bio-emerge. The bright ones are fresh digital beings and the duller ones are older." Mitsuo said, tapping the screen that told him that information. "Hmm. Looks like there was five digi-things here. Three older, most likely those kids digimon we keep hearing about, and two fresh ones. All of them walked in separate directions."
Mitsuo moved the beam to see where the particles went. However, only the older ones kept constant, while the bright particles became scarcer until there were barely any left.
"I thought you said all digital creatures emitted them, but these seem to stop." Shin pointed out. Mitsuo looked just as confused as Shin.
"Maybe they aren't completely digital." Mitsuo said with a shrug. He turned his attention back to the sight of the digital field. Then one of the readings caught Shin's eye.
"Now look at that. According to this screen, there was another digimon here." He said. Mitsuo looked down at the screen.
"Weird. According to this, the digimon immediately disintegrated. Didn't even breath, just vanished into data. What made it do that?" Mitsuo asked his partner.
"You're asking the wrong guy there. I only work with data, I don't know the physics of it. That's your area." Shin shrugged. Mitsuo mumbled something and didn't answer. Then he looked up.
"I don't know about you, but I've collected enough data to call it a night. Let's go back to the van. This is obviously a dead end and I want to run some overall area scans before heading back to Hypnose." Mitsuo said. Then his cell phone rang. "Yamamoto, Mitsuo here. Yes sir... yes sir... mostly small particles of data, nothing much.... no sir....yes sir...good day sir."
"Let me guess, it was the big man himself, Yamaki?" Shin said slyly as he saw the distressed look on his partners face. Mitsuo glared slightly at Shin.
"We have permission to do some investigative research." Mitsuo said, a small scowl on his face. Shin's smile dropped like a stone.
"Investigative? As in detective work? But we don't know anything about that!" Shin complained.
"Yeah, but Yamaki want's these anomalies badly. So why don't you start by asking a few questions to that nice couple over there. Oh, and you should worry about any violations, Yamaki said that our work badges allow us to do this kind of work." Mistuo replied.
"And why should I get the grunt work?" Shin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Because, I know for a fact that your minor in collage was human resources. I'm just the scientist, remember." Mitsuo said and waved his partner away. Shin mumbled something about having a partner who doesn't appreciate anyone having an IQ lower than 250 then walked over to the young couple.
Mitsuo walked back to the van that was parked several meters away. He opened the back doors to an inside full of monitors and computers. The three other members of the operations unit instantly looked up from their work. Their hands immediately went for their gun holders before they realized who it was and visibly relaxed. Mitsuo cringed mentally as he went to an empty outlet and plugged in his laptop. Mitsuo couldn't stand the idea of having a loaded gun with him, but the research the unit did was too important and Yamaki had issued them as soon as the group was assigned. Though crime in Japan wasn't as big of an issue as it is in other stable countries like America and England, there was still a possibility and having three or four loaded guns pointed at one's head might make a person reconsidering stealing or high-jacking that particular vehicle.
Mitsuo loaded a program into his laptop and hit enter. With a bored look on his face, Mitsuo executed two different area scans. When nothing came up, he sighed and wondered why he was even bothering. Mitsuo then executed a scan that usually was never helpful. When the results came back, Mitsuo instantly sat up and looked wide eyed at the screen. he moved closer to the monitor until his nose was a centimeter away from touching it.
"I don't believe it!" Mitsuo whispered excitedly.
*At the Wong residence*
"Yes, yes, YES!" Ken said, frustrated. "What would you like me to do? Prick my finger to show you that it bleeds?!"
Henry flinched. Now he remembered why Ken was considered evil. Ken did not have a very good temper when he ran out of things to say. It was Henry, Ken and Mr. Wong in Henrys bedroom, Mr. Wong massaging his forehead and pacing around the room, Henry with Terriermon sitting on the bed and Ken leaning against the wall.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ichijouji, but this seems almost impossible to believe." Mr. Wong said very formally.
"Dad, what's going on?" Henry said. After dinner, all three of them walked into the bedroom and Mr. Wong started asking Ken a multitude of questions, mostly dealing with how he got here and what he remembers (right before the outburst on Ken's part, Mr. Wong was trying to be certain that this really was the Ken Ichijouji). Now Mr. Wong took out the piece of paper from before and handed it to his son.
"That's what." Mr. Wong said simply. Henrys eyes widened as he read.
To all who this concerns:
Two anomalies bearing human bio-signatures were detected. If you notice anything strange or any child who seems "out of place" please contact Mitsuo Yamamoto of special operations unit three at the below number. Thank you.
-Yamaki Natsuka: CEO
At the bottom was a cell phone number.
"Oh wonderful! Now we have that creepy guy on our tail." Henry exclaimed, throwing up his hands in an exasperated manner.
"That's not the only problem we have. My collage class never programmed humans into the digimon program. How could Ken and that other human have bio-emerged if they weren't programmed in the first place?" Mr. Wong inquired.
"I'm not a program. I came from the real world." Ken said, sounding offended. Henry slapped his forehead.
`"I forgot. Even though Ken's the emperor, he's still digidestined... and TK is definitely a digidestined. Maybe their digivices took them here, which is probably why the don't have their digimon with them."
"That still doesn't answer my initial question. How did he get here?" Mr. Wong asked. Henry shrugged, but Ken answered.
"It's possible we live in parallel dimensions. Maybe a dimensional rip was opened and me and Takashi fell through." Ken said simply. Both Wongs stared at him. There sure was a reason why Ken is a genius.
"Well, I guess that makes sense. But then how are we going to get them back?" Mr. Wong replied. "We would probably need to open a backwards digital field so hat instead of bio-emerging, they go back to their own dimension. However, right now nothing seems to come to mind on how to do that."
"I'll talk to Takato tomorrow, not that that will help much. Until then, I'll try to think of something while I'm doing homework." Henry said and his father nodded in agreement. Then Mr. Wong walked out as Henry rummaged through his back pack. Ken just stayed where he was, probably from fear of being leeched onto by Suzy, and stared out the window into the night sky.
