Chapter 5: The Hur'g

Rico & his men moved at an amazing speed. A speed as fast as a bike, but at a feeling as if it were mark 2. Tai & his friends were not so far behind, running as fast as a bat-out-of-hell. Tai & his gang, especially Izzy, could not believe what was happening. Real Aliens! People from another planet! It was incredible. Agumon & the other digimon couldn't believe it either. To all of them, it was like a dream come true. Joe, on the other hand, thought he was going to lose his mind.

When they made it to the Yokomon Village, Tai & the others hid behind some bushes nearby. They couldn't see where the Micronians went. They could only see the Yokomon in the village. Cute, pink little radish-like digimon with blue stems. Biyomon & the others wanted to go down & see their Yokomon friends. But then, just nearby, a few yards from their position to the right, the DigiDestined spotted the three Micronians & their mechs, spying on the Yokomon from behind some bushes & rocks. The group sneak as quietly as possible toward the Micronians. When they are almost right behind them, Tai & company stay behind some rocks, watching & hearing everything the Micronians & their mechs say & do.
"These creatures look pretty cute, Master Rico," said Alio with a cool-happy look.
"They sure do. They remind me of some little alien cubs I've seen on planet 66-090-005, the planet Secilia," said Rico.
"If I may speak, master," said VT-10, "This is incredible. All of it."
"I know the feeling, my friend," said Rald, "if Master Odo & Lord Himi both gives us the O.K. to land the colony, then in just a few days we have a new home, & in a few months we'll be running this damn place!"
Rico & company looked at Rald with concerned looks.
"I'm just kidding!!" said Rald, laughing with a huge smile.
T.K. also laughed out loud at this. Tai whispered to him to keep quite. T.K. covered his mouth to stop laughing. Unknown to any of the DigiDestined, Rico & his friends hear T.K. Also unknown the group, Rico whispers to Alio to check out where the laugh came from. Tai & the others don't notice Alio heading to the left & coming secretly toward them.
Alio comes up from behind some rocks, & then he spots the DigiDestined. He walks up quietly towards them in mid air. He quietly transforms back to his humanoid form, & then takes out a phaser attached to his right upper leg. When he is finally right behind them, Alio points the weapon at them & speaks.
"Freeze!" said Alio with a little anger in his voice & eyes.
The DigiDestined jump-out-of-their-seats & turn around & see Alio with the phaser. They are a little scared, shocked, & concerned. They put their hands up. Alio looks at the Digimon first, then looks at the kids. His helmet opens & slides back behind his neck. He has a face of a person of 21 years of age. He then shows a concerned look on his face.
"Human children, here?" said Alio. "ImpossibleRico! Guys over here!"
Rico & his men run over to Alio. They then see him with the kids & digimon. Rico talks up to them & transforms back to his humanoid form. He looks at each of the sixteen kids, then he looks back at Alio.
"Humanson this world?" said Rico.
"Yes sir my master," said Alio.
"Would you say 'We Come In Peace?'" said Joe with a scared look.
"Silence Human!" said Alio.
"Alio, its O.K.," said Rald, "I can tell that these creatures & these humans mean us no harm. I can tell by the look in each of their eyes. Just put the phaser away Alio. Please?"
Alio looks at Rald & then at Rico. Rico looks at the kids for a minute.
"Rald is right," said Rico, "Stand down." Alio follows Rico's order & puts the phaser away.
"Its alright," Rico says to the kids & their digimon, "We mean you no harm. To you or this planet."
The kids put their hands down & stand up. Rico speaks again.
"My name is"
"Rico," Said Izzy, "We hear you names already. My name is Izzy."
The Digi-group smiles.
"My name is Tai, & this is my sister, Kari."
"Hello."
"I'm Sora."
"Matt is the name."
"Hi! I'm T.K. I'm Matt's little brother!"
"Hi there, I'm Mimi!"
"And my name is Joe."
The digimon take a step forward.
"My name is Agumon."
"My name is Gatomon."
"I'm Biyomon."
"Gubamon"
"Called me Patamon!"
"Hello, I'm Palmon."
"And I'm Gomamon. Ha ha!"
"Its an honor to meet you all," said Rico with a smile, "You can call me Rico, or Master Rico." Rico presents their mechs. "This is my veritech, VT-10. This is VT-03, & this is VT-21." The mechs bow to the DigiDestined.
"Its nice to you & your friends, Izzy," said VT-10.
"Same here," said Tai, "but, what are you doing here? And what's this about a colony?"
VT-21 speaks.
"It is a long story, humans. It might take time to tell it all. Let's just say we come from a dying world. But not our home world."
"What I like to know is what in the name of the Four Moons of Primius are you humans doing here on this world which co-exists with yours & with no way to travel between the worlds except for the vortex in orbit of this place?" said Rald.
Tai speaks.
"We are called the DigiDestined. We're here to save this world from evil digimon. When we came back here with Kari & Gatomon, we haven't seen any evil since we got back at all."
Rico sees the Digivices & the Tags & Crests.
"And what are those? Some kind of morphers?" said Rico.
"These?" said Izzy as he shows them his digivice & tag & crest, "These are our Digivices. They give us the ability to make our digimon here digivolve, which is advancing to the next level of evolution. Our Tags & Crests here do the same, except advance to the Ultimate Level. They were given to us right before we were transported to Digi-World."
"Digi-World, the name you called this planet," Said Alio, "Cool!"
"They look similar to our Bio-Morphers, sir," Said VT-03.
"Bio-Morphers?" said Sora.
"STAR FORCE, DEACTIVATE!" said Rico.
He then flashes into a bright light. The light fads away. He now has a human body, wearing a uniform. A Device on his right arm glows. Shaped like a gray triangle with a gold crystal in the center. It's style & look is similar to the digivices. Rico shows it too Tai & company.
"These are our Bio-Genetic-Trans-Morphers, or Bio-Morphers for short. These morphers work like your Digivices. They transform our bodies ,inside & out, at the genetic level from organic organs to robotic, transforming components. They are the latest in Star-Force Technology. Every warrior of the Imperial Thoecracy wears a morpher. We use them in battle against all forms of evil. They have been used by we Micronians & all members of the Empire for generations."
"Totally prodigious!" said T.K.
Just then, the whole gang hears something coming from the sky. It sounds like group of jets coming in. Its from the north. Rico, Tai & their gangs look up to the source of the sounds. In the sky, they all see seven weird-looking craft coming towards them. Traveling at mark 3. They have small, cylinder bodies, with a window-bubble in front. Two wings on their sides, bent & pointing forward. On the top back, Five strikes, the center one the longest, sticking upward toward the back. They all have shades of brown.
"Ho no!" said Rico, "The Hur'g! I don't know how, but their here!"
"No way! That's impossible unless they followed us through the vortex!" said Rald.
"Who are the Hur'g?" said Joe.
"The Hur'g," said Alio, "are a fleet of space pirates. Humanoid, like you & our allies, the Centorians. They have traveled from planet to planet, trying to destroy the Thoecracy & it's allies. We've been at war with them for over a century now. They are like a disease. Or worst, a virus!"
The Hur'g death craft begin to fire purple phaser-like torpedoes. But not at Tai or the others. They're shooting at the Yokomon Village!
"Ho no! The Yokomon!" said Sora.
The Yokomon in the village run in all directions, screaming. Some of the huts are shot at & destroyed by the torpedoes. A few yokomon are also shot. The Hur'g fighters begin to move solo in all directions, still shooting at the village. Some the ships do swoops, some do loops, etc. All in different attack formations.
The Yokomon scream in terror.
Rico, Tai & company are angry & in shock.
