Chapter 15: Taking Action

Lord Himi enters one of the lower decks of the colonyship by elevator. Zor accompanies him. They both walk down a large corridor leading down to a shuttle bay, which must have been banned for a short while. They reach the entrance to the bay & they enter. In the shuttle bay are thousands of Hur'g, Centurions looking like Borg with staff weapons in hand. With them are thousands of Hur'g fighters like the seven fighters the DigiDestined fought off earlier. All of them were standing by waiting for Himi's orders to attack. Himi walks up to a platform near the entrance, facing the Hur'g. Himi takes the stand, while Zor waits at the entrance. Everyone listens.
"My fellow warriors," said Himi, "The time has come for us to begin our operation to take over this weak, digital world. Together, we will enslave all the natives of this planet, as well as those living on the planet Earth. After that, Micronius & the Imperial Theocracy will be next in line. After that, the universe will be ours to command, to control. Let these creatures know that I, Lord Himi, will be in charge now, & forever!"
The Hur'g begin to show some cheering. Himi continues speaking.
"Now, let us begin this invasion. Everyone to your ships! And make these aliens know the wrath of Lord Himi!"
The Hur'g cheer a little more as they get into their ships & prepare for take-off. Zor walks up to Himi & speaks.
"All is going to plan. Odo, & the rest of the crew are too busy having a party that they will not know what's happening until it is too late. However, the DigiDestined & Master Rico might have found out about our plans by now sir."
"Do you a plan of your own Zor?" said Himi.
"Yes sir," explained Zor, "I have guards protecting the vault at all times. However, I know for a fact that the guards won't be enough for those Digimon. Therefore, I know they will have their digivices & tags & crests back soon. For that matter, I had decided to do a little brain probing on these DigiDestined when they were brought onboard."
"Your point?" said Himi.
"My point sir," said Zor, "is that I now know about their families, & where they live. Their families are living in Japan on Earth. For this, I plan to make a little arrangement to bring their families aboard for a little 'visit.' That should make things a little bit more interesting."
Himi smiles a little at this.
"Very well," said Himi, "Proceed."
Zor shakes his head yes & leaves the bay.
Himi floats down to the ground & sits down near the platform, thinking to himself. The Hur'g fighters power up, the bay doors open, & the Hur'g take off into orbit.

Rico, Ajax, & the DigiDestined head out of Star City & head into the corridor. They reach an elevator & get in.
"Tower Level 3," said Rico.
The voice from the elevator responses & begins moving them to the location. None of them knew what to suspect from when they reach the vault. They can only hope for best.
"I just hope Maya & Rald can get your friends up," said Sora.
"I hope so too," said Ajax.
The elevator reaches the level & opens it's doors. The gang walks out. Everyone follows Rico down a large corridor leading to Himi's vault. Rico speaks.
"The Vault may or may not be guarded. Anyways, the vault can be open with a password code. That's when you come in Ajax."
"Why Ajax?" asked Gatomon.
"Because my dear kitty cat," said Ajax, "You should all know that I'm just like Tentomon & Izzy here. I'm the brain in computers. That includes hacking into computer systems."
"Right," said Rico, "Ajax is the only one who knows how to hack into Himi's vault comm. & get the codes."
"I just hope we don't run into any trouble," said Joe.
"Same here," Mimi.
"Don't worry Mimi," said Palmon, "I'll make sure nothing bad happens."
The gang reaches the entrance to the vault. Just then a laser blast came out of nowhere, missing the gang by a few inches hitting the wall. The gang jumps a little a this with little fright. Rico saw where the blast came from. Rico turns to the direction where the shot came. The others also turn to see where it came. Just near the entrance is a small group of guards & their mechs. Eight guards & eight mechs. All black valkyries with staff weapons. One of them speaks.
"Well, well. What do we have here? Some trouble I might add. Now either you leave this area, or you can all die. Its your call."
"Bite us!" said Ajax.
"Same here!" said Agumon.
Rico & Ajax take a step forward.
"O.K. Ajax, let's morph," said Rico.
"You got it!" said Ajax.
They both raise their right arms into the air & call out. Their morphers begin to glow.
"STAR FORCE TRANSFROM!"
Rico & Ajax begin to morph. Rico calls out.
"RED RANGER STAR FORCE POWER!"
Rico's body flashes with light. His Valkyrie body appears. His helmet comes on. His morph is complete. Ajax calls out.
"BLUE RANGER STAR FORCE POWER!"
Ajax's body flashes with light. His body also becomes a Valkyrie. Blue color on his chest plate, arms, & legs. He has cool looking shoes with small wing blade on them. His Blue helmet comes on. His morph is complete.
Rico & Ajax prepare to fight. The digimon take a step forward & also prepare to fight. The guard speaks again.
"Sothe eighteen of you want to challenge us to a fight? Very well. It's your death wish. Mechas, get those Creatures & the Humans. The rest of you, let's get these two Rangers. ATTACK!"
The guards charge toward the Digi-Gang. Rico gives the word.
"LET'S ROCK IT!"
Rico & Ajax charge toward the guards, followed by the digimon. They begin to attack. Rico spin-jumps over the lead guard as he tries to hit Rico with his staff. Rico then kicks the guard in the back, making him drop to the floor. Ajax Jumps into the air & takes out a phaser shoots at another guard. The shot causes the other guard to also fall to the ground. The digimon begin their attack at the mechs. Agumon attacks first.
"PEPPER BREATH!" said Agumon, & he fires his fire breath at one of the mechs.
The shot hits the mech, pushing it back a few inches. Biyomon starts her attack.
"SPIRAL TWISTER!" said Biyomon.
She fires her green twister at another mech. The mech doges the attack, & the twister miss.
"BOOM BUBBLE!" said Patamon.
He fires the bubble. It hits another mech right in the head, making it fall to the floor.
"POISON IVY!" said Palmon.
Her fingers extend as tentacles, grapping another mech & strangling it to the ground.
The mech that Biyomon missed run toward the DigiDestined.
"You kids are dead!" said the mech.
"This is not good!" said Matt.
Gatomon sees the mech & runs after it. Just as the mech is about to kill the kids, Gatomon jumps right at him.
"LIGHTNING CLAW!" said Gatomon.
She then slashes the mech with full force, cutting him in half, & falling to the ground.
"Good work Gatomon," said Kari.
"Thanks," said Gatomon with a smile.
Gatomon & the DigiDestined then turn & see Ajax avoiding every kick & punch move by one of the guards.
"Hey, DigiDestined," said Ajax, "This clown just wants to fool around! Well, not on my watch!"
Ajax then jumps into air & calls out.
"GUARDIAN MODE! MAXIMIZE!"
Ajax transforms into guardian mode. He then pounces onto the guard, falling to the ground. Ajax then grabs the guard's left arm with his bare teeth & jaws. He puts one of his feet on the guard's left leg, hold him there, while pulling on his arm with tight jaws. He rips the guard's arm right off! Ajax then spits out the arm & goes for the other. He pulls on the other arm & rips it off. He then goes for the legs. He puts his feet on the guard's chest, keeping him pinned to the ground. Ajax then pulls on both legs with his hands. He rips them right off! He then throws them to the corner next to the arms. Ajax then turns around & pulls on the guard's head. He rips his head apart from his body! He throws him to the corner. Ajax then throws the body part to the corner as well.
"There," said Ajax to the DigiDestined & Gatomon, "That should keep him out of trouble. Don't worry, he'll live."
He was right. The guard speaks.
"YOU STUPID RANGER! WAIT UNTIL I GET MYSELF BACK TOGETHER! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!"
Ajax transforms back to warrior mode. He floats back up into the air.
"Yeah right!" said Ajax.
Rico fires his staff weapon at the rest of the guards. Within a few minutes, all the guards were out of the count.
"That takes care of that!" said Rico.
The four remaining mechs were all that was felt. The other digimon fight off the remaining four.
"MARCHING FISHES!" said Gomamon. The fishes come out of a water portal & attack two of the mechs. The fish use their teeth & jaws, & tear the two mechs into pieces in just seconds. Those two are out.
"BLUE BLASTER!" said Gabumon.
He fires his ice beam from his mouth & freezes both feet on one of the two remaining mechs. The mech is unable to move.
"SUPER SHOCKER!" said Tentomon.
He fires electricity at the mech. The mech gets fried! The mech falls to the ground, offline.
The whole gang gets together, facing the remaining mech. They all show angry eyes. That mech knows he's in big trouble now.
"You want a piece of us or want?!" said Ajax.
"You may have won this battle," said the mech, "but the war is far from over! GUARDIAN MODE, MAXIMIZE!"
The mech transforms into guardian mode. He then runs back the way the guards came like a bat-out-of-hell.
"SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO KNOW WHEN TO GO, GO, GO!!" said the mech as he runs away like a chicken with his head cut off.
Rico, Ajax, & the DigiDestined smile & laugh a little. The fight is over for now. Rico turns to the others.
"Come on," said Rico, "Let's get into the vault & get your digivices & tags & crests, as well as my morpher."
"Right!" said everyone.
The whole gang heads to the entrance.
The doors open.
The gang heads in.
