Chapter 14: The Plan

Rico & the gang read back to Solo's lab. None of them could handle in their minds what is happening, especially the DigiDestined; their worlds are now in danger. Invasion by an alien race. Their future, now is 'Forsaken.' Tai & the others were showing worried-ness in their eyes. Joe, on the other hand, was showing great fear.
The gang reaches Solo's lab. They walk in. They see Dr. Solo & MC at the same terminal they were at when they left.
"What did you guys find out?" asked Solo.
"Bad, bad news," said Ajax.
"As in 'Non-prodigious," said Izzy.
"What do you mean by 'bad,'" asked MC.
"Lord Himi is preparing an invasion on Digi-World & then Earth & Micronius," said Rico.
"My god," said Solo.
"You got that right," said Gomamon.
"I just don't believe this!" said Joe with a little fright in his eyes, "This Himi is going to invade Digi-World, then Earth! I don't think I can handle this you guys! Because this is crazy! And what about our families & friends back on Earth? We're all doomed!"
"Settle down Joe," said Sora.
"You know guys," said Rico. The others listen, "it all makes sense. The Hur'g fighters sent down, the look in Himi's eyes during the announcement, & your digivices being stolen. It all makes perfect sense. Himi is planning to take over your worlds & make sure that you guys don't interfere with his plans by taking away your morphers."
"Yeah," said Biyomon, "But, where are the digivices?"
"I might know," said MC.
"You do?!" said Kari.
"Then where are they?" said Matt.
"After some battles with some of our enemies," explained MC, "Lord Himi asks some of his personal guards to gather some of the Bio-Morphers used by the enemies. He then puts those morphers in his personal vault where all the morphers he took are kept. When you went to see Terok, I checked all view cameras to see if I could find your digivices & tags & crests. Luckily, I somehow was able to view Lord Himi, but just for a few seconds. Then, I saw him with your digivices. All of them, with the tags & crests. The same with some other morphers of our own. I saw him put them in his vault next to some old morphers. That's where your digivices are."
"So," said Rald, "That's where they are."
"You know guys," said Maya, "Our morphers. Himi didn't find them."
"That's right!" said Ajax.
"Why do you say that Maya?" asked Mimi.
"Rico, Ajax, Rald, & myself always kept our morphers with us when we are off duty," said Maya, "All the others on the other hand, always put their morphers away in the locker room."
"I still got mine on," said Rald. He shows his morpher to the others. It's the same as Rico's.
"Same here," said Ajax, showing his.
"Well that's good enough to hear," said Tai.
"You got that right," said Agumon.
Rico thinks to himself for a few minutes while everyone else talks to each other on what they should do about Himi's evil plan. Rico then speaks. The others turn to him & listen.
"I got an idea. But it's all up to us. First, we got to get back your digivices & tags & crests. Meanwhile, some of us have got to get to the warriors trapped in the shuttle bay. We got to have their help if we're going to save you worlds as well as our own. I'm not sure how, but I know we can do it. Solo, I want you to try & call the Theocracy for help. Tell them what's happening & get them to send us some more help. Anyone they can. O.K.?"
"Sure thing, Rico," said Solo.
"Are you sure this plan of yours can work?" said Joe.
"I'm hoping so," said Rico, "Besides. Other than your digivices, there is an old morpher in Himi's vault, which happens to be a new prototype. I asked Himi if I could keep it in there for safekeeping. It's the only morpher that might help us save our worlds. With Luck, we shall make sure that Himi & the Hur'g fail in their attempts to take over."
Everyone looks at each other for a moment. Maya then speaks.
"Rico is right. I'm in."
"Same here," said Ajax.
Everyone else also agrees. So does Rex.
"Alright," said Rico, "Then let's get to work."
Everyone agrees.
Rico gathers Ajax, Maya, Rald, & the DigiDestined together & explains what to do, while Solo & MC prepare to send for help.
Everyone in the room now knows it's all up to them now.
Them, & them alone. For now.
