Wallace watched his one-time friends all turn their heads to look at him in surprise. He could feel his two partners under squirm under the same scrutiny he himself was receiving.
"I'm afraid I forgot to mention them in our discussion yesterday. It must have slipped my mind."
"A lot of things seem to be slipping your mind lately." Wallace pointed out. Gennai sent him a cool stare, which Wallace returned with force. A moment later they both looked away.
"As I was saying, Wallace, Lopmon, and Terriermon are going to be showing you around the base. They can answer any questions you have better than I can." Gennai chuckled slightly. "But first, you need to eat! I'm sure you must be starving by now."
"If it isn't too much trouble, I'd like to finish up some business before I show them around. I've already eaten." Wallace was already out the door, giving a quick nod to the Chosen Children and a short bow to Gennai. He partners shared a look before following suit.
"Lopmon, Terriermon, will you two go warn the others about this? I'll head to our quarters; I want to get something that might help."
Lopmon nodded, smiling slightly. "I'll take the upper levels and do a quick round about walls."
Terriermon grinned. "Right! And I'll deal with the lower levels and take a look in the mess hall." At this statement Lopmon elbowed him sharply in the side.
"Little sneak. You just want an excuse to get something to eat." Lopmon chided. Terriermon gave one of his winning smiles, before racing off down the hallway. Lopmon shook his head as he headed off in the other direction.
Wallace couldn't help but feel better after his partner's antics. But even as he started towards the set of rooms the three of them shared, he could feel his spirits sinking again. He was so tired of always fighting. All he wanted was to be able to take a nice long sleep without alarms going off, alarm clock or otherwise.
He hardly noticed that he had reached the apartment until he was standing inside it. Shaking himself awake, Wallace went over to a small cabinet with a large piece of equipment on it.
Yanking open the small drawer at the bottom of the cabinet, the blond began searching carefully through the various items in the drawer until he came across a small photo album. Wallace smiled fondly at it. Hikari had given almost every Chosen Child one, though her closer friends had larger albums than everyone else. Still, the little book was decently thick, and inside where a set of priceless photos that might just help to jar the Chosen Children's memories.

"Come ON Daisuke, let's GO already! We're going to get spotted!" Veemon let out a hiss of frustration at his stubborn partner, who was doing his best to ignore the blue Digimon's warnings.
Just in Veemon's range of site was a black speck, circling the horizon ominously like some bad luck charm dropped on their back door. They where FAR to close for it to be safe, and Veemon was sure that the large beast would pick up their signal any second now, and rush in for an attack.
"Daisuke! I swear I'll attack you and then we'll just CARRY you back to base, if you don't get your mental ass back here!"
Daisuke sent Veemon a dirty look, but slowly, with several glances back over his shoulder to watch the black form, Daisuke crawled back to the other three members of his team.
"Alright, alright, let's get going."
Even as Daisuke spoke, the wind suddenly changed direction, blowing fragments of dust into Veemon's eyes, and whipping past the back of Daisuke's head.
In a second, all four group members whirled around to face the blacked shape cannon balling towards them. Veemon groaned loudly.
"This is YOUR fault Daisuke."
"Gee, thanks for the support."
"We can not outrun that Digimon. We must stand our ground."
"Such an optimistic report Apemon."
The ape Digimon seemed confused at Veemon's sarcasm, but he recovered quickly, and in a second the group had made a formation, Veemon and Apemon at the front, Daisuke at the back, Tapirmon guarding the equipment in the shadow of a nearby rock.
"I TOLD you." Veemon couldn't resist saying as the Digimon drew nearer. "I TOLD you this would happen."
"Stop telling me and Digivolve!" Daisuke hissed in frustration as sun peeked fearfully out from behind the storm gray clouds to send a few rays of shimmering light across the soon to be battlefield below.
With a snort of annoyance, Veemon stepped forward, feeling Daisuke's frustration tug at the back of his mind, a result of their open link. Letting his mind calm itself, Veemon fell into the light state of mind, and in seconds the power coming from Daisuke filled him.
"Veemon shinka suru to... Exveemon!" [1]
There where several seconds of quiet, in which the only sound was the hiss of wind and the patter of distant rain, the stench of battle already creeping in around them before the first attack had been fired. It lay heavy on the air as the thing drew closer, and in unison the group inhaled sharply.
"My god."
Speeding towards them was what should have been an Airdramon. It still held the basic form that all Airdramon held, but it had been eaten alive by the same black disease they had seen so may times before. The same disease that had formed a ring around the Parrotmon's ankle back at Heighten View Terrace. The same band of black that could always be found on any Harbinger Digimon.
Daisuke was the first to recover. "What the hell is that thing?!"
"It appears that this is what happens when a Digimon is completely taken over by the virus!" Apemon called as the sun vanished and the rain came storming down in bucketfuls.
"I didn't know the virus COULD completely take over a Digimon!" Exveemon stepped forward, silently cursing the rain. He could just make out the vague form of the Airdramon as it came closer and closer.
"Stay back. Daisuke, you are only to act as a last resort. Here he comes!"
And so the battle began.

A/N: I can not tell you how sorry I am. This chapter has been boiling around in my brain for ages, and I haven't been able to get it down on paper. Eh. Sorry! At least the action is finally starting up. It's been pretty dull up until now, but hopefully things will start to get interesting.
[1] - I didn't want the Gijinka's to Digivolve because they aren't really Digimon anymore, you know? So I'm having them "shinka suru" instead. It basically means "evolve" in Japanese.
Also, I re-uploaded most of the chapters. Just some minor stuff that I wanted changed. Nothing big, but you can still go back and re-read it if you have time too. Well, I have to go. Next chapter SHOULD be out soon. I hope.
