Digimon: The Nail
Part 2
by Christian "Sid" Lang
The strange group exits the building and heads for what looks like a gym.
"If I remeber the schedule correctly, the team should be training at the moment."
Dieter Meyer frowns when he hears Mr. Tanaka say that.
The team. Right. A bunch of children who are thrown into a war. he thinks.
A quick look at the SEAL man tells him he's not the only one who dislikes the idea.
Maybe they shouldn't have built this sensor thing. But would it have prevented this?
He decides that he hasn't enough information to judge the situation, so he dismisses the thought.
They enter the gym and enter the main hall.
Just as Mr. Tanaka has guessed, five children are running laps.
Some adults are practicing a sword fight in the center of the hall.
"So young..." he hears John, the SEAL whisper.
"We're witnessing another Children's Crusade." Dieter whispers back.
When the children are near them, Mr. Tanaka motions them to come.
Dieter counts three boys and two girls. They are all about ten years old, definately too young for this.
"What is it, Mr. Tanaka?" one of the girls asks.
"I wanted to introduce you to two new advisors who will-" Mr. Tanaka starts to say.
"-lead us into the same death trap you have sent Matt to?" one of the boys snaps.
Dieter raises an eyebrow in surprise. The boy's eyes showed pure rage and hatred.
"T.K." the girl who has asked the question in the beginning puts an arm onto the boy's shoulder.
"Kari, you should know it better than anybody!" the boy shouts.
"I know. But those two men aren't responsible for what happened." Kari whispers at the boy.
Then she looks at Mr. Tanaka and Dieter almost jumps when he sees that her eyes have turned into angry slits.
"Even if they get paid to lead us right into a death trap." she adds, her voice filled with anger.
Next to him, John draws in his breath. This had been an impressive show so far.
Suddenly Dieter realizes that Kari must have been the girl from the video.
This girl has faced a nightmare. No wonder she reacts this way.
The three remaining children seem uneasy about the situation, too.
But Dieter sees that they would stand behind Kari and T.K. in a confrontation.
Luckily, John tries to disarm the situation with the stereotype American charme.
"Mr. Tanaka, why don't you... show Mr. Meyer around while I have a little talk here?" he offers.
Dieter answers the SEAL's pleading look at him with a short and understanding nod.
"Brilliant idea. Tell me something about those sword-fighters. I think they need some training."
Even as he says this, Dieter drags Mr. Tanaka's arm towards another corner of the gym.
John sighs in relief when he sees Dieter and Mr. Tanaka get out of reach.
Then he turns his attention towards the kids again.
"Uhhh... Hi, my name's John Nelson. I'me quite new here, so could you help me out with your names please?"
There is a long pause after that question.
Two of the kids, Kari and T.K. (whatever that might stand for), stare at him as if he was something evil.
Finally, one of the other boys steps forward.
"Hi, my name's Davis." he says.
The remaining girl introduces herself as Yolei and the smallest of the kids says that his name is Cody.
Kari and T.K. still treat him like the personification of all evil. John sighs.
"OK, do you care to tell me why you are staring at me like that or do I have to read long reports?" he asks the two.
"You don't even know, do you?" the boy barks.
"Our brothers, Tai and Matt, have been in the team that has been..." her voice trails off as she wipes a tear away.
Oh boy. And Tanaka didn't even care to tell us.
"I'm sorry. But I know only parts of the story. It would help me if-"
"You're going to send us there, too. Right?" T.K. states.
Before John has a chance to think of an answer, Yolei steps between the two.
"T.K.! One more sentence like that and I'll-" she starts to shout.
But her words drown in the noise of a much bigger verbal fight in the gym.
The children instantly forget their quarrels and turn twoards the noise.
John reminds himself to thank Dieter later when he sees what has happened:
"I am the local Martial Arts champion! I have beaten-" one of the sword-fighters shouts.
"My grandmother could fight better than you do!" Dieter shouts back at the man.
The two men are standing right in front of each other, with Dieter actually bowing down to face the other man.
John guesses that the 'champion' relies on swiftness and speed. Dieter on the other hand looks more like a bear.
"That does it! I challenge you to a battle! Unarmed combat!" the champion shouts, striking a pose.
"Ach ja? Dann lass' mal sehen!" Dieter shouts.
The gym is silent for some seconds.
"Uhhh... What?" the champion asks in confusion.
Dieter sighs dramatically, obviously making a show out of it.
"That's German and means something like 'Bring it on!'." he explains slowly.
The people around them snicker.
Dieter's enemy suddenly screams in frustration and kicks at Dieter's face.
The German easily catches the leg and holds it, still bowing to face his enemy.
Then Dieter straightens his back to stand at his full (and impressive) height.
He still holds the champion's foot at his eye level, making the Japanese jump uneasily.
At that moment, two of the champions friends decide to interfere.
The fight doesn't take very long.
All of the attackers are equally surprised by Dieter's grace and speed which deny his huge body.
The huge German seems to dance between the three attackers, delivering some occasional hits.
But John can see that he is toying with them. He also sees that the children look impressed.
As the last of the attackers hits the mat, John bows down to T.K.'s ear.
"We came to offer our help. We won't force you to do anything." he whispers.
Before the boy can say something, John starts to walk to Dieter.
The Lord sighs. The boy is late. Again.
I told him that this was a mistake. she tells herself.
But the Lord had not listened. He believed in the human for reasons that were beyond her.
Finally her ears pick up footsteps coming closer.
She looks up at her Master, and he just nods grimly.
Although expecting it, she still jumps as the large doors are pushed open with more force than necessary.
"What do you want this time?" the boy asks without even greeting.
Her Master sighs again. Then he finally speaks.
"I'm getting reports that some of your control collars have failed." he announces.
The boy is standing still, as if considering something.
I hate those goggles. she tells herself.
Her Master can stare directly into the souls of his victims, but not this time.
It is as if the boy's goggles are shielding him from the Lord's powers.
And she hates anything that annoys her Master.
"How many cases?" the boy finally asks.
"Three."
"I'll take a look at them. I guess they're in the pound?"
The Lord just nods.
"Anything else?" the boy asks and yawns.
That's enough! she angrily tells herself.
"How dare you insult Master Myotismon like this!" she shouts at the boy.
The boy just grins at her.
"My my my... Myotismon, I really don't get it why you don't let me put a collar on her..."
"My loyality to my Master isn't in question." she sneers.
"Gatomon. Don't waste your time." Myotismon whispers calmly, petting her head with one hand.
Her anger instantly vanishes. Her Master sounded pleased with her.
"And you, get to work, I want to see those three Digimon in my loyal army again by tomorrow." he says louder.
Gatomon's eyes form small slits as the boy leaves the room again.
How could Master Myotismon trust a boy who calls himself Digimon Emperor? she asks herself.
"Oh dear! Don't tell me that-" her mother exclaims when her little daughter enters the room.
"Yeah." the girl just mutters, rubbing her bruises.
"You promised not to fight other girls at school!" her mother reminds her.
"Oh don't worry. I fought boys this time."
"Ruki!" her mother shouts in horror.
"They were really asking for it, I didn't have many choices." Ruki says and shrugs.
Then she suddenly walks to a shelve and grabs a book.
Her mother frowns and bows down to read the title. When she sees it, she frowns even more.
"What do you need to look up in the Family Tree?" she asks her daughter.
Ruki looks up and also frowns.
"I don't know. But I have a strange feeling that I'm missing somebody close to me..."
Instead of answering, Ruki's mother embraces her.
"I know you miss you father, Ruki. But I told-" she starts to whisper.
"I wasn't talking about Dad." Ruki answers flatly.
When her mother gives her a surprised look, Ruki sighs.
"I know it sounds weird, but I don't really know who I'm missing. But I am missing her."
"Her?"
Ruki thinks about the question.
"I... don't know... Maybe him... No..." she whispers as she starts to walk to her room.
She doesn't even notice the confused look in her mother's eyes.
"Onee-chan?" a childish voice calls her.
"What is it, little one?" she answers the call without looking up.
"Will they try to hurt us again?" the owner of the childish voice asks her.
"Maybe. They want to break us. They don't want us to think our own thoughts." she says.
"Why do they want to do this, onee-chan?" her other 'brother' asks her.
She can make out their shapes somehwere in the darkness of the cell.
Or as their captors like to call it: The pound.
"I don't know. But I do know that they will fail. We just have to be strong until..."
Two pairs of eyes look at her.
"Until they come, right?" the childish male voice finishes the sentence.
She just nods.
Until they come. I just hope that they won't be too late. she tells herself.
Midnight. Finally. Captain John Nelson checks his equipment.
He had waited the whole day for his stuff. They had sent everything in a large transport helicopter.
Including his black Hummer, which has become one of the two main attention grabbers here.
The other one has been Meyer's BMW, which would have cost a fortune in the States.
OK, with all the stuff he has built in, this BMW also costs a fortune in Germany.
Of course, John doesn't plan to admire cars at midnight.
But with his car came his mission gear, including the set designed for night combat.
Minutes later, John sprints across the compound, knowing where the guards are patrolling.
Then again, most guards are looking for an intruder from the outside.
After some minutes of silent approach, he has reached his destination.
It takes him a ahort while to pick the lock, but he knows that he has whole minutes to get inside.
Still, he sighs quietly when he is standing inside the main command building.
Although this looks more like a playground for the guys from administration.
He continues the mission and quickly finds his next destination: Kado Tanaka's office.
Something is wrong here, and I'll find out what it is. he tells himself as he opens the office door.
He closes the door behind him, still trying not to make any sounds.
Then he realizes that the next guard is outside the building and sighs again.
"You make more sounds than a bulldozer." somebody directly behind him remarks.
John's first reaction is to reach for his gun, but he knows that he has lost. So he simply raises his hands in defeat.
"Und jetzt in die Ecke stellen zum Schämen."
"Dieter?" John asks as he turns around.
Again he asks himself how somebody this huge can sneak directly into his back.
The German is also wearing black clothing - and is grinning like the happiest man alive.
"Please don't tell my boys about this." John begs, smiling weakly.
"If you insist. I guess you were looking for this?"
Dieter holds up three folders. Two of them have their respective names on them.
The third one is thicker. Printed on it is the word "History".
Just as John wants to congratulate him, the German puts the files back into a drawer.
Before John can protest, Dieter points at the desk. On the desk he sees a black notebook, complete with a handheld scanner.
On the leather chair is a slim black backpack, obviously custom-made for the notebook.
Dieter quickly packs his stuff and takes a final look at the office.
"OK, let's go." the German says, nodding.
My God. I have heard of JetLag, but those two look as if they haven't slept at all!
Kado Tanaka blinks in surprise as he starts to greet the two foreigners.
He has never liked the idea of outsiders taking charge here.
Luckily they wouldn't even know why they are here. Things would get very messy if-
"So, Mr. Tactical Leader, when were you going to tell us the truth?" the American interrupts his thoughts.
"Nani?" Mr. Tanaka asks back in surprise.
"We have taken a look at your files." the German bows down to tell him.
"You... you... You broke into my office and-" Mr. Tanaka stutters.
"Yeah, and guess what we found out?" Captain Nelson asks innocently.
That two moron outsiders are in charge of the children? That they are the new leaders of any mission into this world?
Kado Tanaka knows he has lost his little power play and sighs.
I should have known. Two nations have sent their best operatives, and he thought he might trick them.
"OK, here's the deal. You do your job, and we do ours." Dieter tells him.
When Tanaka gives him a questioning look, the German continues.
"Although that last stunt was stupid, you are the best man for your job."
"But in the future, just let us do our job. It's that simple. And please, no more tricks." John adds.
"Understood." Tanaka tells them weakly.
Well, it's not that bad. They do what I told them to, but with more priviliges. And I do my job.
He keeps telling this to himself and tries to forget that he is now technically their subordinate.
"Well, that went well." John comments.
"Yeah. Guess he is happy we didn't kick him out." Dieter answers.
"With that done, I say we have to get closer to the kids."
The two men are wandering towards their apartments again.
"Any suggestions?" Dieter asks as he approaches his front door.
The bungalow they are living in has been split into the two apartments they are living in.
Although it looks makeshift, the apartments are much bigger than normal military ones.
"Maybe we can take them on trip somewhere. To get them out of here for a while."
"That would leave the base defenseless." Dieter reminds him.
"I know. But T.K. and Kari haven't been out for months."
"Then we go somewhere near this place. A park maybe." Dieter suggests.
John nods.
"Let's talk to the kids." he says, turning around.
Author's note:
Finally the foundation has been set. *sighs in relief*
The next part will focus on the DigiDestined. And the Tamers!
This will be a lot of fun, trust me.
Some characters might be OOC, but I guess that's understandable given the changed timeline.
