Author's Note Digimon is not mine... But I love Tamers so much... *cries* Okay. Chapters 2 and 3 up. Aren't you happy? So far I've written to Chapter 4, and maybe I'll take a little while to finish that and Chapter 5. But by then. all of you will be killing me, so should I fnish it? Chapter 2: Hints of Mysteries
Mr Lee called Jenrya and Shaochung into the study.
"I understand that the two of you love your partners, right?"
"Okay, okay. What do you want us to do now? Cook them for dinner?" Shaochung asked. Jenrya shut her up.
"No, Shaochung. I'm serious. Yamaki sent me an e-mail-"
"Who sent you a what?" Jenrya interrupted.
"Yamaki sent me an e-mail. He said that the remnants of data of a powerful digimon is accumulating in the south of West Shinjuku."
"Given my knowledge of Yamaki, 99% of the time he talks crap," Shaochung began again.
"There's no harm checking, right?" Mr Lee said again.
"What's the name of this digimon?" Jenrya asked.
"That you have to check with either Rob or Alice. They're better at identifying digimon from data. I have no idea myself. Oh yes, inform the others too."
"Which Alice? Alice the Goth?" Shaochung asked.
"Which other Alice do you know, twit?" Jenrya shut her up again.
Terriermon had been listening intently to this conversation. He had the feeling that something was going to happen but as for what it is, he had no idea.
"Hmm... Yamaki said that there is accumulation of a powerful digimon data in south of town?" Ryo asked. Takato nodded. Besides the two, Alice, Ruki, Jenrya, Shaochung, Renamon, Terriermon, Lopmon and Guilmon were in the room. Jenrya knew that having Ruki and Ryo in the same room would lead to trouble.
"What digimon is it, Alice?" Ryo asked her.
"Millenniumon. Virus attribute, synthetic digimon, mega stage." she replied in a monotonous tone, reading from her notes.
"Millenniumon?" Ryo hesitated for a second, then continued, "It's a powerful digimon, right?"
"Ryo, you idiot. Yamaki won't yell at us if we are dealing with a couple of Gekomons," Ruki snapped. Alice nodded her head. She didn't exactly know what kind of a digimon Millenniumon was, or how powerful it is. But she knew it had to be powerful and dominant to be any threat.
Then again, Yamaki believes that everything is threatening his life.
Takato frowned. What could be happening? Shaochung didn't exactly seem to care and Juri was listening to the others. Renamon broke the silence.
"So, what are we supposed to do, Alice?"
"According to how Yamaki put it, we have to check out where the data is and destroy it," she said.
"That's it! I'm tired of destroying data. I'm out," Shaochung exclaimed. Everyone stared at her.
"Shaochung has a point. I'm tired of fighting," Juri said. Ruki understood their logic, but what if Millenniumon is really a threat? Renamon knew what Ruki was thinking. No one wanted to fight - but if they had to, they had to.
"I guess the best option now is to just wait - and see what will happen. We can't just destroy data just like that," Alice said.
"Okay, good. Now which of you seniors would love to help me with my homework?" Shaochung said, innocently as usual. Everyone rolled their eyes.
Back at Hypnos, Yamaki was staring at the computer screen. Reika got him a cup of coffee and was fed up with the way he was working.
"Sir," she began, "Miracles don't happen when you stare at the monitor for 6 hours on end."
"Your point is?"
"Yamaki, nothing will happen when you don't take action. That's what you said." And she left. He had the feeling that Ryo knew something about this, but wasn't sure enough to confirm it. Yamaki groaned. His life was in a mess, apparently. Reika came back.
"Weren't you fed up with me?" He asked.
"No, Mr Lee's on the line. You want to talk to him?" Yamaki went to the phone.
"Yamaki? This is Janyu." Mr Lee began.
"What?"
"I should be asking you that. What do you want the kids to do?"
"I thought that was your job, telling them what to do. I want them to check the place out, understand?"
Janyu felt like strangling him. "Isn't that the job of Hypnos?"
"Then what is the purpose of having Tamers around?"
Mr Lee was really mad. "Fine. I'll let them check the place out - so what?"
"Check whether Millennium is dangerous, and whether he will reveal his true form."
"Millennium? True form?"
"Millennium is short for Millenniumon. As for its true form, you should know better than me."
"You mean the fact that it's going to digivolve to Moon Millenniumon?"
"I thought the Wild Bunch knew everything?"
"No. We know a little of something, but altogether, that's everything."
"Then combine that knowledge." Yamaki hung up on Mr Lee.
Yamaki shut down the computer, and went out, to Reika's annoyance. She wished he would be more serious and focused.
Rumiko was walking on the streets with Ruki looking for a nice pair of shoes for her. Ruki saw Yamaki at Takato's bakery and so did her mother. (Rumiko didn't know Yamaki, technically) Somehow, her mother found something strikingly familiar about him. Ruki raised her brows for a second, then decided that everyone needs a life, and Yamaki doesn't have one yet.
