After watching the quick intense
battle between the Digimon, Rico & the Hur'g by a holographic
projection in the center of the chamber, Lord Himi shows some
anger in his eyes. He is seating at his thrown.
"These 'Digimon' creatures, & these Humans, very interesting,"
said Lord Himi with concern, "I am surprised at how they
'morphed' & destroyed most of my secret fighters. Yet, they
show a fighting power similar to the Star Force Rangers. I like
that in most warriors."
The hologram fads away. The micronian from early returns. He
kneels to Himi & speaks.
"My Lord, the Hur'g attackers have failed. Rico is bringing
the sixteen aliens who help him aboard the Phoenix. They have
already arrived. What are my orders?"
"Send someone to get those 'Digivices,' & the 'Tags
& Crests,'" said Himi, "Tell him to bring these
morphers to me. I'll put them in my Vault with my 'Other Items.'"
"As you wish, my Lord," said the micronian.
He gets up & walks out of the room. Lord Himi still seats
at his thrown, now checking out holograms of the Phoenix
& Digi-World.
Tai & the other DigiDestined
open their eyes. They all seem to be in a dark lighted room.
They are laying on some table-like beds. They all sit up. They
see their digimon also laying on some beds. They too open their
eyes & sit up.
"Is everyone alright?" said Tai.
The others say 'yes.'
They start to take a look around the room. It seems to be a futuristic
hospital room for people to recover. About 30 beds are lined
up together side-by-side, laid back against a wall. Between each
bed is a table. Each table has a lava lamp-like lights on them.
In front of the beds, across the room, are sideway-oval-shape
windows. The gang starts to show some shock.
They are in space! The gang got off the beds a head to the windows
to see outside. They see Digi-World below. It looks similar to
Earth. Kari & Gatomon begin to notice a green glow coming
from their right. They both turn to see what it is.
"Tai, everyone, look over here," said Kari.
The group looks to their right. Across the room at the far end,
they see four glass tanks with green liquid inside. Each tank
is about 10-inches tall, & are connected to a tube hanging
from the ceiling. The second tank has a micronian inside. Male.
He is wearing shorts & has several tiny cables attached to
his body. Two to his head, three on each arm, & two on each
leg. They are connected to him by needles pined into his skin.
He has a mask covering his mouth. The micronian himself looks
to be 21 years of age.
The DigiDestined step toward the tank & look inside. They
see a metal swing-arm with a sowing-needle at the end. Its seems
to be sowing up a cut on the person's right leg. The arm is attached
to the top of the tank by another cable.
"Your awake," said a familiar voice to the right.
The group turns to the voice. There is another micronian in the
shadows in the corner. He walks up to them. It's Rico, back in
his uniform.
"You guys were out for a five hours. You were all stun by
the Hur'g. Don't worry, their dead. The yokomon are safe on the
planet below." Said Rico.
"What about Alio? And VT?" said Matt.
"You all saw him get shot. Alio is dead. I'm sorry."
The gang now has concerned sad looks. T.K. & Kari show some
tears. They wipe them away. Rico continues to speak.
"I know how you feel. I knew Alio for more than 15 years.
15 years in deep space. He died an honorable death, saving your
people."
The gang turns to the tank. Rico also.
"I see you all met Ajax," said Rico, "He is my
little brother. He was hurt in an accident. He should be back
on his feet about now."
Just then the metal-arm stopped. It has finished healing Ajax.
It then goes back up to the top of the tank. The cables come
off Ajax & too head up. Ajax opens his eyes. He has green
eyes. He sees the DigiDestined. Ajax gets a little startled.
"Ajax," said Rico, "It's alright. These kids are
with me. Relax."
Ajax settles down. Rico then pushes a green button next to tank.
The liquid drains out of the tank. Then the tank opens up &
Ajax takes off the mask & steps out.
"Rico," said Ajax.
"How are you, brother?" said Rico.
"Great," said Ajax with a smile.
Ajax looks at Tai & his friends.
"Greetings," said Ajax, "Names Ajax."
The Digi-group smile.
"Hi Ajax, I'm Tai"
"I'm Matt, & this is my brother, T.K."
"Hi!"
"I'm Kari, Tai's sister. Its nice to meet you Ajax."
"I'm Joe"
"Hi there! Names Mimi."
"I'm Sora."
"And I'm Izzy."
"I'm Agumon."
"The names Gabumon."
"I'm Patamon."
"I'm Gatomon."
"Call me Gomamon. Ha ha!"
"I'm Palmon."
"My name is Biyomon."
"And I'm Tentomon."
"It is a honor & a pleasure to meet you," said
Ajax.
Tai & company start to notice the their digivices & tags
& crests were missing.
"We just realized something," said Tai, "Our digivices,
& tags & crests. Their gone."
"I know," said Rico, "When we brought you aboard,
all your morphers were a little damaged from the stun blast.
Their were in bio-repair. When they were repaired, one of our
mech-tech-men wanted to see if there was any further damage.
He took them to check them out. He sad he'll be back with them
in a few days. For now, you can stay here with us."
"Where is 'here'?" said Mimi.
"My friends," said Rico, "welcome aboard the Imperial
ColonyShip Phoenix. Please, make yourselves at home."
"Rico," said Ajax, "Will you tell me what the
hell is going on here?"
"Sure Ajax," said Rico.
Rico leads Ajax & the Digi-gang out of the room, explaining
everything that has happened.
Rico, Ajax, Tai & the others
are in another room. A futuristic locker room. Ajax is now dressed
in uniform. Rico had just finished telling what has happened.
"So that's everything?" said Ajax.
"Yeah," said Matt.
"Damn," said Ajax with concern, "I'm really sorry
about Alio. He was like a second brother to me. What about VT-21?"
"He was offline," said Rico, "But I just found
out he is now also dead. He died about a hour ago."
"He's a machine, right? Why not fix him?" asked Izzy.
"Our mechs are 'living machines,'" said Rico, "They
have souls, like you & me. VT-21 was hit in his 'Bio-net
Compositor.' It's in his head. If it were shot, he would not
live very long. It helps keep both our mechs & us still alive
after being blown to pieces. Without it, you're dead. Alio was
hit in the same spot."
"We're sorry," Gatomon.
"It's alright. He too died noble, like Alio," said
Ajax, "You know, you saw them die. That's 'honoring a person's
bravery toward death'."
"I guess we know that," said Tai.
"I don't suppose you all want to come with me. I got some
things to do. At least you'll get a tour of the colony,"
said Rico.
"Sure!" said Tai. The others agreed.
"O.K.!" said Rico, "Ajax, care to join us?"
"Sure thing bro," said Ajax.
Rico leads the way out. The others followed.
