DISCLAIMER: I do not own Big O or any of the characters. All are property of Sunrise and their respective parties. Digimon belongs to Toei and their respective parts. I don't own either show. I am not making any money on this story either, it labor of love. Now I own Mary Sanderous, Nivernmon, Aggymon Griffinmon, Metal Aggymon, Metal Nivernmon, the Crest of Order, the Digi Egg of Order and Marry's Digi Jewel. Please don't use them without my permission.
AURTHOR NOTES: This story is a Big O Digimon Crossover. This story also features some of my own theories about Big O as well. This is also a slight AU for the Digimon part of the story, Gatomon has the ably to go to her Ultimate Level of Angewoman, without any type of help, like she did in the First Season of the show, plus she also can Armor Digivole as well. This goes the same with the first season Digidestined as well. I am also including the third movie sentiment of the Digimon Movie, the one with Willis, even if that part of the movie dose not takes place in the story line of the show.
Now with Kabukimon, I am going to use her Japanese Attacks, because I don't know what her American attacks are. Plus I haven't seen her yet in the Tamers Story line. But her name, Kabukimon, is her American name which happening to be the same as her Japanese name.
I am sorry about the long explanations in the stories, but I am writing this for fans of Big O that hasn't seen a signal episode of Digimon of either season. I don't want them to feel like they are lost in the story telling, for I used a lot of references from that show.
SETTING: Reminder the Digimon Episode of His Master's Voice, the episode where Kari is brought to another part of the Digi World by other Digimon. At the end of the episode we see a huge shadowy Digimon with red eyes come out of the water. What if she wasn't really in the Digital World, but in Paradigm City and that huge Digimon-like creature weren't a Digimon, but a Megadeus?
With the gateway between the two worlds open up that had lead Alex into the real world and Marry. The reminding team must reopen up the gateway between the two worlds. Part 2 of 2.
Special Notes: In the light of the acts of terror that our nation suffer on Sept. 11, 2001 in both NYC and Washington DC, this chapter's battles scenes are NO way glorify the destruction of the World Trade Centers Towers and the Pentagon. Unlike my pervious chapter that was wrote before the acts of terror, this chapter is currently being written during the events. I state before that I don't glorify what happen on that date, but the battles scenes are require in these chapters for if they are token out they would weaken my story. Again I morn the lose of all of the people that die in both attacks, I hope that there are people that are alive in both buildings. God blesses you all. Plus this chapter is also a tribute to the all the firefighters, police, and EMT that had die trying to save people and the ones that are right now trying to find survivors right now.
Chapter 18- The Gateway between Two Worlds Part 2- A Pathway Back Home
T.K. look ups and could see the skyline of a major Northeast City and with that he recognized the two most dominant skyscrapers in the entire skyline. They were two blue color buildings with a triangle shape top and with that he knew what skyline he was looking at, it was Philadelphia, the city that was the birthplace of US, the city of brotherly love.
"Yes, Angemon, that is Philadelphia, Alex Rosewater had just open up a gateway between this world and ours," answered T.K.
"Then we have to go and stop it," said Angemon.
"Right," said T.K.
"I won't let you, it my job to stop that thing and you don't have the power to do so," said Roger.
T.K. turned around and could see that Roger had his head bowed down. Seconds after that Roger lifted his head and when he did that, they could see that Roger's eyes were glowing white. After that Roger yelled out and seconds after that T.K. could see that Roger's body was going through a change. With that T.K. wondered what was going on with the Megadeus pilot and then he found out what it was. Roger's skin was ripped off and in doing that it relieved the black armor Megadeus that they knew as Big O, but only smaller. The size problem was no different because Big O went to normal size in a matter of seconds.
While that was going on, Nancy had found her way to were the battle was taking place and could see all of this going on. She saw that Roger Smith had transformed himself into the Megadeus and with that Nancy knew that he was the one that was meant to wheel that sword that was located down there.
"So he is the one," said Nancy. "Now the only thing I have to do, is wait until he realized that he missing that sword."
After that Nancy walked away from the battle scene and let Roger to his thing.
With that Big O went in the direction of where the beam of energy was coming. Big O reaches the inside of the dome and he could see more detail of the beam. He was about to smash the building open but he was stop when he saw Daemon with Alex on the back of the Digimon follow the light with unbelievable speed.
When the two of them reach the top of the portal, the beam of light stop firing and because of this the portal started to close up.
"NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Cried Marry inside of the cockpit. "I won't let you take control over my world."
"Marry, take a look at the portal, it closing," said Metal Nivernmon.
Marry took a look at one of her visual aids that was located in the cockpit and she could see what Metal Nivernmon was talking about. She saw that the portal was starting to close real fast and if she didn't move it she wouldn't have a way to get back into her world. "You better hurry up," said Marry.
"Okay," said Metal Nivernmon.
Outside of a huge blue armor creature rushed toward the battle area with a jet that was located on the back on her two armor legs of the creature. The creature that was a Digimon moved so fast that nobody could ever take a good look at the new Digimon. The Digimon flew past Big O and to the closing portal that was up in the sky.
"We aren't going to make it," said Marry.
"Yes, we will, I can kept it up long enough with my Giga Beam," said Metal Nivernmon
"Do it," said Marry.
"All right," said Metal Nivernmon.
Outside the blue armor Digimon moved its right hand toward the closing portal and seconds after that a huge blast of yellow energy was shot at the portal. Just like Metal Nivernmon thought would happen, happen, the energy from the plasma base attack kept the portal open long enough for the two of them to make it to the portal before it would close.
"I think we are going to make it," said Marry. Second after she said that she felt something slowed them down. Marry looked out of her display and saw what had causes it, Big O had fired one of its chains at them. The chain had landed on one of her Digimon's legs and after that Marry could see that Big O was starting to pull her away from the portal and toward him. That was something that Marry didn't want to have happen to her. She had a job to do right now and that was to stop Alex or Daemon from taking control over her world. That was something that she wouldn't allow on her watch no matter what and if that meant that she would have to fire on an ally she would do it.
"I am sorry about this, Roger, but I can't allow your father to take control of my world without fighting for it," said Marry. "Metal Nivernmon, you know the drill."
"Right," said Metal Nivernmon.
Using one of the joystick-like levers that were in fort of her, Marry controlled the arm of her Digimon. Unlike the other arm that just contain the huge cannon-like beam. This also contain a cannon-like beam weapon, with one thing added a huge blue armor triangle-shape weapon. That was she was adding right in the direction of Big O.
"Dragon Claw!" She yelled out.
Seconds after that the huge armor thing was shot off from the arm of the Digimon and broke the chain in a matter of seconds. This cause Metal Nivernmon to be free to continue her trip to her world and because of that, Marry didn't stick around to see that Big O had fall down on the ground. With that out of the way Marry and Metal Nivernmon made it to the portal when they did they were sucked into it. Before anybody could get up from the ground to fellow the two of them, the portal close up.
"Marry!" Cried Matt.
Big O got up from the ground just to look up at what just happen. There was nothing that he could do right now, expect to take a look at the sky where the once the vortex was located at. Roger couldn't believe that she would do something like that. Even with this, it prove to him that Marry was a person that more to her than meet to the eye. While Roger didn't like the fact that she had fired on him yet again, but it did prove to him something about her. That she was willing to do something like that, fire on her own allies if they stood in her way of her goal, but she could of hit him with a more powerful attack that just that and she could of hit him in another area like the chest section. No she didn't do that, she aimed for the chain and that prove to him that she didn't like to over do things. That still didn't mean that Roger like what she did to him, he knew that she would have to paid for doing something like that to him.
While two pervious fights he understood why she attack him, the first one was because she didn't know who he was and that she was just acting like a Digidestined would do to protect the Digi World from things that she thought were threats to the Digi World. At that time she thought that Big O was a threat to the Digital World. The second time she did that because she was once again trying to protect something, this time it wasn't the Digital World, it was the other International Digidestined from him when he was under the powerful influenced of that virus that he got from that Wraith-like thing Megadeus. This time there was no good reason why she had fired on him just because he was stopping her from achieving her goal. That was something that Roger didn't like about her and that was something that Roger would have to talk to her about when the two of them would meet again. Right now he knew that he would have to go back to his human form and that what happen to Roger. He went back to his human form and like before all of his clothes were stripped off when he changed himself into Big O.
Dorothy could see that he was once again naked and like before she found something to cover him up so that he wouldn't be charged with indecent expose by the military police that she knew would come here to find out what just happen there. Dorothy once again wrapped Roger up with a black blanket and unlike the first time when Roger return back to his human form when he was still weak. This time Roger was a little stronger, but he wasn't strong enough to get up on his own, Dorothy still had to help the young Negotiator up from the ground. While Dorothy was doing with Roger, T.K took a look around the area to see how the others were faring after this latest battle that they all had. He could see that the same actions that Roger was taking were all over with the other Digimon. They were getting up from the ground, but slowly and T.K. could see that they were all covered with carbon scoring. A clear sign that they were beat up by that energy thing that ripped up the sky.
"How are you guys?" Asked T.K.
"I think I be okay," answered Metal Greymon.
"That goes the same with me," said Aquilamon.
After that the other Digimon that were slam down to the ground expect for Paildramon answer T.K.'s question with the same time of answer that they were okay and that it would take a lot more than that type of attack to knock them out for good.
"How is Paildramon?" Asked Davis.
"Yes, I would like to know how he is," said Ken.
After that their question about his well being was answer for them, this was because the combine Digimon, Paildramon came walking to where they were. Ken and Davis could see that he was badly cut up, but despite that he was still in good shape.
"Paildramon!" Shouted Ken and Davis at the same time.
Before Paildramon could say anything to their joy, both Digidestined ran up to him and hugged him. Paildramon was socked at this sing of affection toward him.
"Guys, I knew that you care about me, but this…this thing is kind of embarrassing for me," said the Ultimate Level Digimon.
"We don't care, we are happy that you are safe," said Ken.
"We thought that you were a goner when you got blasted by that energy beam," said Davis.
"It is going to take more that just a flair gun to knock me out," said Paildramon. "By the way what was that thing."
Ken and Davis look at the building where the beam of energy was shot out of and after that the two of them followed the path that thing took up to the sky. While the two of them didn't see the energy that it had the two of them reminder what the thing look like and what it did to the sky of that world. The two of them reminder how the thing rip open the sky to another world and while the two of them didn't see the skyline of the world. They did see T.K. and Angemon's reaction to it and with that the two of them knew that it had to do with their world.
"I really don't know what it is was, but what I can tell you whatever that thing was, it open up a gateway between this world and our world. Where it open up to I don't know," answered Ken.
"But what I can tell you is that we have to get back to our world and stop Alex Rosewater from hurting our world," said Davis.
"I know, but I would like to know how are we going to get that thing open up again?" Asked Ken.
"Just like what we did when we back to Earth to get the Eight Child," said Tai.
"What?" Asked Ken.
"Did you know that we returned back to Earth to find my sister, Kari that was the eight child that was needed to help the save the Digital World for the first time," answered Tai.
"Yes, Azulongmon told us about this," said Ken.
Tai like the rest of the other Digidestined knew about Azulongmon, he was the one that used one of the Digi Cores to allow their Digimon to Digivolve to their Ultimate Level in the real world despite the fact that there were Control Spires as well. He also was the one that grave up some of his energy to allow his Digimon Agumon, to Wrap Digivole into WarGreymon.
"But what he didn't tell you is how we did it," said Tai.
"Yes, how did you do it?" Asked Roger that was walking up where the three of them were located. When he did that, they all could see that he was holding a black blanket around his body and they also could see that he was a little weak from the battle.
"We did through a thing called Key Cards that were located in Myotismon's castle and we had to solve the riddle behind them. We had to classified the cards by their level, which was Rookie, Champion, and Ultimate Level, and after that their data type, which was Data, Virus, and Vaccine. To further complete matters there are only nine slots were we could place the Key Cars, which means one of them was a false card. In a quick decision on my part, I choice the Agumon card as the false card and this was because Agumon was my friend," answered Tai. "We found out that I picked the right card to be the false one and that was because we were sent back to Earth in the place were we first entered into the Digital World."
"That is all in good, but I don't think that Alex would used something like that to open up that gateway between my world and your world," said Roger.
"What do you suggest he used to so it?" Asked Kari.
"I think he used some type of program, don't ask me how I know, I just do," answered Roger.
"That means we will have to go into that building and access the program and see if we can do the same thing that Alex did," said Izzy.
Roger nodded his head at that. "You are right, Izzy. We will have to go into that building."
"If we do, we have tread lightly, because only God know what traps have been set up in there to prevent what we are about to do," said Izzy.
Again Roger nodded his head at that, because Izzy was right about that. He knew that would be something that he would do if he had something like Alex had left open.
"What are we waiting for, let's go!" Shouted Davis in his typical go-ho attitude that got him in so much trouble when he was in the Digital World.
Before anybody could say anything to convince Davis another wise, he was on the back of Paildramon. He was waiting for the others go into action just like he was about to do.
"Davis, don't do this, we have to think of a plan before we enter into that building," said Izzy. "I don't think Roger is dress for something like that."
"And waste time," said Davis.
"No, you forget the time between our two worlds is different, we aren't wasting as much as time you think," said Izzy.
"I just can't sit around and wait until you guys do something," said Davis.
"You will have to," said Roger. Before Davis knew it, he found himself off the back of his Digimon and down on the ground with Roger's hand right at his neck. Seeing that, everybody that was around the two of them were socked at both the speed and the strength that Roger had. Yet again this was another sign of the power that Roger had was wild and uncontrollable for him right now.
"Woah," said Izzy. "Take it easy, Roger."
"Why should I, this little brat is so irresponsible, that you have been lucky that his mistakes haven't kill you on your trips," answered Roger. "His go-ho thing of his is a clear sign of his irresponsibly."
"Davis!" Cried Paildramon and despite his batted up appearance that he had, he still had enough strength inside of him to go after Roger. Paildramon brought out one of his metal spikes that was located in his arms and was ready to stab Roger in arm to make him stop doing this to his friend. He didn't want to kill him, but if he had to do it, he would.
But Roger sense that Paildramon was coming at him with this weapon drawn out and before Paildramon could reach Roger. Roger freed up on his hands and used that free hand to stop the Dragon-type Digimon dead in his tracks with no signs of sweat drops on his face. Paildramon tried to free himself by moving away from him, but Roger wouldn't allow that to happen, he was going to teach Paildramon a lesson.
Then Roger still using his one hand thrown Paildramon like he was rag doll away from him and Paildramon landed in forth of Tai, Izzy, and Matt. All three of them couldn't believe the almost superhuman strength that Roger was displaying right now and with that all three of them knew without a question, that this strength that Roger was displaying can from the merge that Roger went through.
"Roger, stop it! You are going to kill him!" Cried Kari.
Roger didn't heard the cries of his sister, he was in a craze state of mind and all of them knew that there would only be two things that would bring him out of this state of mind that he was in right now. One of them was that Davis would be killed and the other one would be an act of God. Most of them wanted the latter rather than the later and that was something that none of them wanted to have happen.
"Roger what are you doing?" Asked a voice.
Unlike with Kari's cries, this voice caught Roger's attention and this was because the sound of the voice had to him that made him want to stop what he was doing. Roger looked up to see the face that was behind the voice and he found out who it was. It was Big O's image of him standing in forth of him and Big O's image was dress in his black suit that he wore most of the time, complete with everything that he wore when he went out on a case. It wasn't this that caught Roger's attention it was the fact that Big O chose it image of him to be standing and it was his height that made Roger take a look at him.
I am that tall? Asked Roger to himself.
Seconds after that Big O's image of him took off the black sunglasses and partially kneed down to him. "What are you doing? With the gift of my strength that I give to you?"
"I am trying to teach this kid a lesson," answered Roger.
"And you think that killing him will make him learn. I maybe not be human, but I know that when something is dead it won't learn anything," said Big O's image of him.
With that Roger found himself out of the crazed state of mind that he was in and noticed what he was doing to Davis. He could see that he was about to kill him with the strength that he gain when he merged with Big O. Seeing that Roger couldn't believe what he was about to do to somebody that he thought was an ally and because of that he lifted his hand away from the neck of Davis, too much to the relief of Davis. After that the feeling of sock of what he was almost about to do got to him and because of that he felt down to the ground.
"What is wrong with me?" Asked Roger.
"You lost yourself in your emotion and before your merge with me, that was a perfectly good, but now that you are merged with me, it is bad. You have to watch yourself and control your emotions," said Big O's image of him.
"Or something else like this will happen again," said Roger.
Big O's image of him nodded his head at that. "Yes, now I can forgive this, you didn't know that this was going to happen. I shouldn't have told you about this."
Roger got up from the ground with the realization that Big O forgive him on this because he didn't know that was going to happen. That the Megadeus made a mistake on that and he was willing to forgive him because of what he did.
"But I won't be that forgiving if something like this happens again. I don't my gifts to you to be used like this, to hurt another living being," said Big O. "That is the reason why I am your Digimon."
"Huh?" Asked Roger.
"It is because I have a strong sense of justice just like you do. We both see things in black or white, not shades of gray. It very rare to see somebody that at your age," said Big O.
Roger was about to say something at that, but he saw that Big O's image got up from the ground. "I can't kept this up for long, but there is something that I have to tell you."
"What?" Asked Roger.
"You have untapped power, ably that go far beyond the gifts that I gave to you," said Big O.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Roger.
"Our merging open much more than the part of your life that you forgot," answered Big O.
Roger was about to ask Big O more about this, but Big O's image of him disappeared from view and the only thing that he could see was the surrounding. Roger wanted to know what Big O talking about, what other powers did he have within him right now that were going to surface without him thinking about. He knew that he could see in the past and have the ably to control people with just sound of his voice, but what else could he do.
That was something that he would find out when it happen, but right now he had to deal with what just happen to Davis. He knew that Davis wouldn't be happy at what he just did to him, he knew that he wouldn't like it.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Yelled Davis. "You almost kill me, you fool!"
"I am sorry, I lost myself in my emotions," answered Roger.
"I knew it, you are to dangerous to be around us," said Izzy. "Even more so, with the power of the Megadeus behind you. You should stay away from us until you have learn to control your power and your emotions, so this won't happen again."
Roger was about to say something to this, which was that he was in control of himself and that something like this wouldn't happen again. It look like that other Digidestined and their Digimon didn't want to heard it, they had seen enough from him. That was that the was a dangerous ally with all of that uncontrolled power of his in which they had no clue in which he would go off like that again, which was something that they couldn't risk have happen again. Once was good enough for them.
Roger watched helplessly as each Digidestined walked away from him, not even talking a look at him. Even Kari, his own blood didn't even stop to take a look at him. The only person that was next to him was Dorothy, but she wasn't a real person.
"It look like that they don't trust you," said Dorothy.
Roger just snapped at look back at her and after that he turned his attention back to Kari, that look like to be the last of the group to leave him all by himself. "Kari, you believe me. I promise this won't happen again, and I do kept my promises," said Roger.
Before Kari could answer his question, her other brother, Tai put himself in between the two of them acting like a human shield between her and Roger. He didn't want to have happen to Izzy happen to Kari; he didn't want Roger to control her through his voice like he did with Izzy. When he did see it happen, it scared him a little that a human being could be able to do something like that and be scare himself when he did do it.
"Kari, don't answer that question, he is playing his tricks on you. He is going to do what he did to Izzy to you, to make you believe him," said Tai.
"What?" Asked a socked Roger. "I would never do something like that unless I want something from a person never the less somebody that is my sister."
"She might be your sister, but that is just a technically, she has lived her entire life with me. So I have been more of a brother to her rather than you," said Tai.
"What dose that mean? Oh, now I see it. You think that she has live with you all of her life that you can make up her mind for her?" Said Roger.
"No, I was trying to said that I think that I know better for you, than you would," said Tai.
"Tai, you don't know anything about our origin, Kari was put into your world to protect her from Alex, and this was because Alex had killed almost every woman that I love in my life, my mother and my lover that was going to be my wife," said Roger. After that a muscle in Roger's jaw jumped at that a clear sign of the irritation that was in the painful memories of what happen in that period in his life that he would rather to forget, but he found out that he couldn't.
"I didn't know that, but that still dose not mean that you are to be trusted with the power that is inside of you right now. It like a ticking time bomb, any second that bomb is going to go off and you can go off at anybody," said Tai.
"That was a mistake that I made, I didn't know that my emotions were going to do that to me. I learn that lesson and that is a mistake that I don't want to mistake again. Tai can you forgive me for that mistake that I made?" Said Roger.
Tai didn't know what to said at this, it sounded like he was truly sorry for what he did to Davis and that it was something that he wasn't going to make again. Even with that there was something in the back of Tai's mind that he should completely trust him and this was because of the thing that he did almost did to Davis. That was good enough for Tai to tell him that he was a risk to their safely, no matter who much he control his power, there was a chance that he could lose it on somebody. While he didn't mind the fact that he would lose it on an enemy, did mind it when he did it on an ally like Davis, even if he didn't like Davis that much. Davis didn't deserve something like that.
"Okay, Roger, but in the future I suggest that you stay away from Davis," said Tai.
With that Roger started a laugh a little at that. "I think I will do that, plus I have to go back home and get dress if we want to go into that building."
"By the way, what is your problem with Davis?" Asked Tai.
"I don't know, I think it because I see myself in him and it he is so annoying," answered Roger.
"You got that right," said Kari.
Again with that Roger laughed again and heard that both Kari and Dorothy were happy that he was capable of doing something like that outside of laughing at a person misfortune. Like when the two of them first meet each other, in what seem to be like a lifetime ago. In fact it was only seven mouths ago for her.
After that Roger and Dorothy moved back to his car. With that all of the Digidestined got on the back of their Digimon, when that happen the entire team moved in the direction of where Roger's house was located. Despite the lack of clothing that Roger had on his body and his feet, plus the tired feeling that he felt he still managed to drive the car with the same grace as he did when he was one hundred percent. While he was doing that he was wondering what was going on with Marry and what was going on in her world. Also he wondered why she would do something like that to her, they were allies and most of the time allies won't do that another. There was always exception to that rule and it looks like that Marry was that exception.
Even with that on his mind Roger knew that was something that he would find out when they got into that world, right now Roger had to worry about how they would get into that world and how he would get this sick and tired feeling he had right now. He knew the reason behind it, it was because the change of forms that required a lot of energy to do so and while it give him a great advantage in fight, but after the fight this was the price that he was going to paid for having this advantage. Thinking about that, he felt like he was hungry and with that he had plan to have something to eat when he got home.
He made to his house and with that he pulls into the building. Inside of the building him and Dorothy got out of the car. When he did the slight hungry feeling that he felt when he started this trip got more worst.
"Man, I am hungry," said Roger.
"I will tell Norman to prepare your meal," said Dorothy.
"No, I am really hungry, I think I need something that is quick and easy. I think I will need a lot of it as well," answered Roger.
Hearing that Dorothy could tell that his transformation into Big O took a lot of out him and plus it also require huge amount of energy from him. That when that energy was exhausted he would reverted back to his human form. That the only way that he would be able to return back into Big O was to build up his energy reserves and that the only way that a human would be able to do that was to eat something. By Roger's reaction she could tell that he need a lot of that something.
Even with that the two of them made it to the elevator that took him to the top floor of his house. While the two of them were going up on the elevator, Roger collapses from the lack of strength and Roger could only managed to sit up rather than stand up. Even in doing that, Roger somehow kept the black blanket around himself and he kept his eyes open, despite the fact that he felt like he needed to sleep. He knew that there was a job to do right now and was just part of the job. It was something that he would have to deal with it.
The two of them reached the top level and Roger saw that. He tried to get up from the floor, but he found out that he couldn't do it on his own. So Dorothy helps him up from the ground and it was just enough to help him get his barring. With that Roger started to walk out of the elevator and when he did he was greeted by Norman.
"Hello, Miss Dorothy. How is Master Roger?" Asked Norman.
"He is weak, he needs something that is quick and ease, plus he needs a lot of it as well," answered Dorothy.
Without asking why, Norman went to work with Roger's request despite the fact he didn't say it himself. He used Dorothy as his proxy.
After that Roger told Dorothy that he needed to go to his room so that he could get dress and that she should help Norman with his food. She listened to his request and left him alone to get himself dress for their trip into the Paradigm Group's man Headquarters. In a matter of seconds Roger got out of his room and he dress in black outfit, seeing him dress all in black was something that Dorothy didn't understand about him. That he wore only black most of the time and the only other color that he wore was white, that was only when he wore his suits.
"I see that you are dress," said Dorothy.
Roger didn't say anything to that, the only thing that was on his mind was food. While he wasn't like this most of the time, this was an exception to that rule. This was because this wasn't something that was normal for him. The next thing that Dorothy saw was that Roger jumped on the food with so much zest that Dorothy was a little sicken by what she was seeing right now. The once honored, Negotiator was now almost brought down the level of a savage, just because one thing, he was hungry. In a matter of seconds all of the food that Norman had prepare for Roger was gone and it look like that Roger wanted seconds. This time Roger wasn't as bad as he was when he started, it seem that putting the food in his stomach quiet the beast that was within him right now.
"Are you okay?" Asked Dorothy.
"Yes, I am fine, why should you ask," said Roger.
"I was just puzzled by your reaction to the food, it seem that it wasn't you a couple of seconds ago. The way that you took the food inside of your, it seems that it was a little unnatural for you to do such a thing," said Dorothy.
"Oh, that is because I was hungry and here is something that you should know about anything that is living. When a living thing is hungry, no matter how nice they are, they will become the your worst enemy and that are something that you shouldn't miss with," answered Roger.
"Are yourself?" Asked Dorothy.
"Yes, I am, but I am still a little hungry," answered Roger.
Before Roger could request more of the sandwiches, Norman came into the room and brought him so more of the sandwiches of the same type. Like before Roger went to eat the sandwiches, but unlike before he didn't do it with so much zest. He was doing it in a more cultured way and after the second helping of the food, Roger could feel that the empty pit was now full with food.
"Ah, that did it," said Roger.
"Now are you full?" Asked Dorothy.
"Yes, now I think I can talk about our plan to get back into the Digidestined World, by the way were are the Digidestined and their Digimon. The last time that I saw them they were following us to my house?" Asked Roger.
"We are right now," said Joe.
Hearing that Roger turned his head around and could see that Joe was right about them. All of the Digidestined and their Digimon were in here just like before. Seeing that Roger wondered did they see him eat like that.
"Did you?" Asked Roger and a drop of sweat was on the side of his forehead.
"No, but the way that it sounded, I think we are used to it because when Digimon are at their In-Training Levels, they eat just like that," said Kari.
"Oh, that is good. I didn't think that I could do something like that before until now," said Roger.
"But I would like to know what are we going to do to get back into our world," said Davis.
"Yeah," said Tai.
"All in good time, but I am also a little sleepy," answered Roger.
Hearing that the Digidestined couldn't believe what they were hearing from his mouth, that he was now a little sleepy and because of that they trip back to their world was being delay once again. That was something that they didn't want to have happen, because they didn't want to give Alex Rosewater any type of advantage in their world despite the fact that the time in this world wasn't the same as it was in their world. That only spending one day in this world was equality one half hour in their world. They didn't care a signal bit.
"No, I want to go back into our world, now!" Demanded Davis.
"Davis…" started Izzy.
Davis didn't heard Izzy's warring, not to anger this guy or he would do what he did before to him. It seem that Davis suffer from the same type of memory lose that these people in this city had, but his problem was his short-term memory. It seem that Davis didn't reminder what Roger almost did to him.
"Davis, don't get my angry, do you reminder the last time that you did. I almost kill you and I don't want to do that again, no matter how much of a pain in the neck you are," said Roger.
"Huh?" Asked a puzzled Davis. Seconds after that Davis reminder what Roger did to him. He almost kill him by crushing his neck like it was a piece of paper. With that Davis dropped his charge toward Roger because he didn't want to have that happen to him again and Davis didn't know if Roger would be serious about it and really kill him. It was better for him to stay clam with this.
"By the way, what Izzy told you is that a day in here is a like an half hour in your world, so you aren't losing that much time," said Roger.
"Yeah, that might be true, but we don't like to give Alex any lead time," said Sora.
"But that is something that you should learn to deal with, but I have funny feelings that Alex's lab will have codes and puzzles that will try to prevent what we are going to do. I think we should be at our best, that we should be fighting that, and not sleep as well," said Roger.
"What are you saying? That we should spend that night here and try to get a good night sleep?" Asked Matt.
"Right, Matt that is what I am trying to say to you all," answered Roger.
"I think we should listen to him," said Gatomon.
"I have to agree with Gatomon. T.K., what do you say?" Asked Patamon.
"I also think that he is right, we should spend the thing," said T.K.
"Okay, then it agreed we will spend the night," said Tai.
After that everybody got ready to spend the night like they did before many times before. Unlike the other times, everybody was having trouble sleeping expect for Davis that was sleeping like a log. To prove that he was snoring and the snoring that Davis was doing only made it harder for the other Digidestined to get a good night sleep. For the Digimon, it didn't matter because they were all fast asleep.
After, the hard night for the Digidestined, day had made it appearance and that was something that none of the Digidestined wanted to see because it meant that they would be going off in their mission to head back to their world. That what happen the group of Digidestined and Digimon moved into closer to the spiral tower that was the building where the main office of the Paradigm Group. When they did that they could see that the building was pretty robust. This was because it had to clear sign that was the place were the energy beam that ripped up the sky came from. Despite that they all knew that was the place and that was the reason why they were heading to that place.
When they reach the building, they found out that there was a huge door that was blocking their way. With that none of the Digidestined needed to tell their Digmon to do, because they all knew what do, it was time to go into their Champion Forms. In a matter of seconds the area was full with Champion Level Digimon.
"I can take care of it," said Aquilamon.
"Go for it," said Yolie.
"Blast Rings!" He yelled and seconds after that Aquilamon's secondly attack was fired through the air. After that a series of red energy rings were fired from Aquilamon's mouth and after that his attack hit the doors.
When they did that, Aquilamon's Blast Rings attack exploded on impact and first it causes a huge amount of smoke. When the smoke cleared, they could see that Aquilamon's attack did the trick and this was because the two huge doors that block them from going any further were gone. With that Digimon, Digidestined, Roger, and Dorothy continue their trip into the heart of beast. They could see that most of the place was empty and this peck Roger's interest.
"I don't like this," said Roger.
"I have to agree with you," said Tai.
"This is so strange, I would think a place like this, that is so central to the government of this city would be busy," said Matt. "I mean there should be at least a few people that run security in this place."
"Security…" started Ken. Then Ken realized what was about to happen with them. There were nobody here, because of the internal security system was turned on. Before Ken could say anything about that he found out that his guess about why there was nobody here was right.
Seconds after that a section of the floor that all of them were on open up to them all. In doing that it reveal to them all that this place wasn't as dead as the first thought when they enter into this place. After that the piece of the floor that went down came back up again and doing that it had something extra on it. That extra thing was rust red machine that had a huge blocky body and on two of the block-like things there were hands that were human looking.
Everybody reacted to that but turning the other way to see if there was a way to get out there and they found out that their path was block, by yet another machine-looking thing. Unlike the first one that was red in color, this one was sliver in color. While it still had the block like shape to it, but this was where the sameness between the two of them ended. This one a blue circles in the center of the body and its arms were long and lanky with four claws and hands.
"This isn't good," said Tai.
"Izzy who are those guys? Are they Digimon or machines?" Asked Roger.
"Wait a second," said Izzy. After that he started to tap a couple of keys on his keyboard to access the Digimon Analyzer that would tell who these guys are. Izzy found out who they were, he found out that they were Digimon that were of the Machine type.
"Found them, they are Digimon, the red one is Gardromon, and the other one is Mechanorimon, both of them Viruses, but the good thing is that they are at the Champion Level," answered Izzy.
"Good, I take Mechanorimon," said Garurumon.
"I am going to take on Gardromon," said ExVeemon.
"Not before the two of them are going to fire," said Yolie.
Everybody looked at both Machine type Digimon and could see that each one of them was preparing to fire at their group.
"This is going to hurt," said Davis.
"Twin Laser!" Shouted Mechanorimon.
"Warning Laser!" Shouted Gardromon.
"Get down!" Yelled Roger.
With the everybody hit the floor as both energy attacks went flying through the air and both attacks miss each other. The attacks didn't miss the walls of the building and because of that pieces of the wall of the hallway were torn off when the attacks by each Digimon had fired.
"Your Digimon better do something," said Roger.
"Vee Laser!" Yelled ExVeemon and while he was calling out his attack, ExVeemon cross both of his arms across his chest. Then in a matter of seconds he moved his arms away from the X mark that was on his chest and because of that a huge blast of energy was shot out of the chest in the shape of an X.
"Howling Blaster!" Yelled Garurumon. With that energy shout out of the mouth of the wolf-like Digimon.
Both attacks reach their marks. ExVeemon's Vee Laser hit Gardromon and Garurumon's Howling Blaster hit Mechanorimon. Both Machine-type Digimon were in gulf in smoke and because none of them knew that if ExVeemon or Garurumon stopped either Mechanorimon or Gardromon. When the smoke clear they would find out if anything happen and the smoke cleared. They found out that their Digimon did do something and this was because both of the machine type Digimon were on the ground knock out. The machine-type Digimon did show the battle damage from the fight. For Mechanorimon was covered with black carbon scoring, the glass of his cockpit was broken, and some of the huge metal spike fighters of his were curled up from the fight. For Gardromon, the story wasn't much better for he was also covered in the same type of carbon scoring as well, but some of his huge red armor was broken from Garurumon's Howling Blaster attack.
"Nice shot," said Matt.
"Thank you, Matt," said Garurumon.
"You are welcome," said Matt.
"It is safe," said ExVeemon. "You guys can come up."
Everybody listen to Davis's Digimon, ExVeemon and they all could see that Garurumon and ExVeemon did their job with these two Digimon. They could see the all of the damage that they did with their attacks.
"Nice job," said Davis.
"Thank you," said ExVeemon.
"But we can't stay here, we have to move, because I have funny feelings that these two Digimon are just the warm up. I have funny feelings that Alex Rosewater has much more cook up in his defenses," said Roger.
With that everybody listen to Roger and because of that they let him take point with the other Dorothy, Digidestined and their Digimon behind him to act like a defense as their own. While Roger didn't like the fact that he was taking others into this Lion's Den, he felt like that he should be the only one that should do this because it was his world that was going to interfere with their world. That was something that he didn't want to have happened to them but Roger known that this was their world and by all rights they should be there to help defend it. He still felt a little guilty that he should have children help fight Alex Rosewater and whatever he had cook up for their world. He felt that they should stay out of this fight and let him to do all of the fighting for them.
The group reached a pair of doors that was blocking them from entering any further and like before one of them Digidestined took up the task of breaking down the doors with one of their attacks. This time it was Kari and her Digimon, Nefertimon, which took up the task of breaking down the doors.
"Rosetta Stone!" Yelled Nefertimon and seconds after that a huge stone was formed out of the back of the Digimon. Then the stone was launched in the direction of the two doors.
The stone broke into a million tiny pieces, but the impact of the stone caused the two doors to be broken off of their hinges. While the stone didn't break down the doors, it was good enough for them all to bring the doors down under their own power and that what they did. They brought the doors down with their own power and when they did they all found themselves inside of the lab.
The lab was just like the hallways of this building, empty and seeing that everybody was ready for anything that Alex Rosewater could cook up as a defense measure. They could see that most of the lab was dark with few sources of light, but the light was good enough for them to find their way.
"This is just like the hallway," said Roger. "So watch it."
Izzy and Ken took a look around the area to see if just looking at the computer terminals could help them find out what the heck was going on in this place. They could see that looking at them didn't help them, so the only way that they could find out what was going on in this place was to turn on the power of this place.
"Roger we have to turn on the power of this place, because just wondering in the dark isn't helping us a signal bit," said Ken.
"I have to agree with you, Ken," said Izzy.
"All right," said Roger.
With that Izzy and Ken turned the power on for the lab. When they did they could see more details of the room. They could see that all of the computer terminals that both Ken and Izzy were looking at surrounded glass dome. Izzy and Ken looked at the now active computer terminals to see that the computer terminals were lit up like a Christmas Tree. With the two of them went to work on the computers to find out what information that they could extract from this source. While they were doing this Kari and Roger looked inside of the glass dome and could see that there was a wooden cross that contained four sets of chains.
"What happen here?" Asked Kari to herself.
Roger moved closer to glass dome to take a better looked at the wooden cross and the four sets of chains. When he did that he put both of his hands on the black table and when he did that he found himself brought back into the past. In doing that he could see what did happen there he could see that the Digimon that he saw be capture by Rosewater's men was there as well and the Digimon was attached to the cross via the set of four chains. Each set of chains were around each of his arms and as well as his legs. Seeing that Roger felt a little sick to his stomach at what he was seeing right now and with that he wanted to leave this place, but he knew that he had to stay here to find out what happen to this place. So Roger kept his guts and waited to see what was going on. He saw that his patience was rewarded when he found out what he wanted to see. He could see that another person that look like it was some type of demon that was dress in some type of robe that hid most of his features. Roger didn't know what to say about that person expect that he thought that this person was yet another Digimon, but he didn't know the name of the Digimon.
One thing that Roger did find out about this Digimon was that it was evil and this was because he saw that this Digimon wasn't do a thing to the other Digimon that was bounded to that cross as his structure was being slowly being deleted into a tiny million pieces. Then he saw it happen, the entire structure of the Digimon was completely gone. The only thing that was left of his was the million tiny pieces that Roger knew was the lost data and after that Roger could see that the data was scooped up by a huge tube that was located on top of the glass dome. When that happen he could see that the deleted data of this Digimon was the key to run this huge machine. That wasn't enough to open the portal that was between these two worlds, and this was because the techs were working out the bugs that were located inside of the data that made up the Digimon. Then he saw them get all of the bugs out of the system and after that they found a located that they wanted to go to. With that Roger could see that both Alex and the other Digimon somehow manage to find a way to enter into the portal that was now open up.
After that Roger found himself back in the present and he could see that both Kari and Sora were looking at him. The two of them wondered what was going on with Roger, for he seemed that he was in a state of flux.
"Roger are you all right?" Asked Sora.
"Yes, are you okay?" Asked Kari.
Roger realized what just had happen to him and after that he found out that he had a huge headache. Because of that he put his head in his hands to try to lessen the pain that was inside of his head right now. He knew what just happen to him, he somehow had yet another vision about the past and it was that vision he just had causes him the headache.
"Oh, man it happen again," said Roger.
"Yes, it did. What did you see?" Asked Tai.
"I saw what just happen here. Somehow Alex Rosewater and other Digimon somehow used the data of another Digimon to power the machine that open up the portal between our two worlds," answered Roger.
"Did you see what controls they used to open up the portal?" Asked Tai.
"No," answered Roger.
"Then how do you we open up the gateway?" Asked Yolie.
"I don't know, but what I do know is that you have to," said Roger.
"You don't have to worry about that, because I think I found what look like to be the main menu," said Izzy.
With that everybody turned to see what Izzy was talking about. They all could see that Izzy was correct about, he did somehow access the main menu that was located on that computer. If that was the main menu for the program that he wanted that was another story.
"I would like to know is that the main menu that we want, or something else?" Asked Matt.
"I don't know, all I know is that this thing is like a main menu," answered Izzy.
"Just great, Izzy. You don't know where you are at, by all rights you could be at the main menu of the payroll of this place and not the main menu for this machine," said Tai.
"I am doing the best that I can do right now. This time isn't like any of the other computers that I have worked with before. This is a completely new system that I have never seen before," said Izzy. "I am learning as I go."
"Is just great," said Tai.
"Reminder the last time that we did something like this before you let me figure out the riddles of the Key Cards. I didn't fail you," said Izzy.
"That is true, but this is different," said Tai.
"No it isn't, is the same, the only different is that we are using some type of code while there we were using Key Cards, both of them open up a gateway that was behind two different worlds," said Izzy.
"Whatever you are doing, you better do it now," said Joe.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Izzy that looked up and could see that both Joe and Cody were backing away slowly from something.
"That!" Shouted Sora.
Everybody looked up to see what Sora was talking about and they saw what Joe, Cody, and Sora were talking about. They saw that there was a yet another Digimon was here and that Digimon was dress in a red robe with a face and pair of hands that look like they were shape in flowers.
"Who is that?" Asked Tentomon.
"That is Kabukimon, an Armor Level Digimon, watch out for her dance because that time when she will lure into her Cherry Blossom Storm attack," answered Gatomon.
"So we better key are eyes on her and not be trick by her dance movements," said Patamon.
"But you better keep her away from me," said Izzy.
"Right," all of the Digidestined and Digimon say at the same time. After that Roger walked got up where Izzy was at so that he could take a look at what he was looking at.
"Izzy, let's me see what you are looking at," said Roger.
While Izzy knew that Roger showed special abilities that he couldn't explain and most of them scared Izzy a little, some of them amazed Izzy as well. With that in the back of his mind he somehow knew that Roger might be able help him with this puzzle that was across his face right now. When Izzy did that ExVeemon, Garurumon, and Nefertimon took point and was because all three of them were at their Champion levels, ready to fight with that other Armor Level Digimon. They also did this to allow the other Digimon to go their Champion Levels.
"Sure," said Izzy with that Roger became to take a look at what Izzy was looking at.
"Lion Dance!" Shouted Kabukimon and seconds after that the Armor-Level Digimon started to slow and stately dance movements. All three Digimon tried not to look at the movements of this Digimon and at first they found out that they could hold their own. As time went own ExVeemon and Garurumon found out that they couldn't kept their eyes off of the Digimon, but Nefertimon could.
"Look, that attack it seem to be extremely effective against male type Digimon," said Kari.
"ExVeemon, snap out of it!" Shouted Davis.
ExVeemon didn't listen to him; the only thing that he did was move closer to Kabukimon and that went the same as Garurumon. Matt tried his hardest to make Garurumon to snap out of the trance like state that Kabukimon put the two of them in.
"Forget about it, they aren't listening to you, Nefertimon you have to attack," said Kari.
"Right," said Nefertimon and seconds after that Nefertimon flew up. Then she primed herself to attack that Digimon. "Cat's Eye Beam!" She shouted and after that a pair of dark pink energy beams were shot out of the snake that was located in the center of her head. The attack hit Kabukimon dead in the center of her chest and with that both ExVeemon and Garurumon were free of the spell that Kabukimon had put them in.
"My spell you broke it!" Yelled Kabukimon.
"We are going to break more than just your spell," said Davis. "ExVeemon take her down."
"That goes the same with you, Garurumon," said Matt.
"Right," said Garurumon.
"I'm game," said ExVeemon.
Seeing that Kabukimon knew what the two of them was about to do to her and because of that she tried to get away from the trio of Digimon. It was two late because the trio of Digimon primed themselves to fire their attacks on the Armor-Level Digimon.
"Vee Laser!" Yelled ExVeemon.
"Howling Blaster!" Yelled Garurumon.
"Rosetta Stone!" Yelled Nefertimon.
The three different attacks reach Kabukimon and they went in the order of when they were called out by the trio of Digimon. ExVeemon's Vee Laser hit Kabukimon and when the X shaped energy attack hit her it caused her to fall back a little, but it didn't do that much damage to her. Then came Garurumon's Howling Blaster attack that was a jet of blue energy that was shot out of the mouth of the wolf-type Digimon and unlike ExVeemon's attack, this attack did more damage to Kabukimon. It causes some of her clothes to get burn and she reacted by putting out the flames that were around her clothing. She did, but she didn't have enough time to recover from that and that was because Nefertimon's Rosetta Stone attack came and that attack was the one that did it. The huge stone blasted a huge hole in her stomach and before Kabukimon could do anything to stop this, she found herself being deleted into a million tiny pieces while that was happening to her she yelled in pain.
"That was a little to easy," said Kari.
"Tell me about it," said Matt.
"Hey, it a victory," said Davis.
Seconds after that the ground behind them started to snake.
"W-What? What is going on?" Asked Davis.
"It seem that defeating Kabukimon was the catalyst in a self-destruction process," said Izzy.
"Yes, take a look at this," said Roger.
Everything listens to him and they found out that Izzy was right about this. They could see that there was a clock that was starting to count down. Unknown to them the building that they were located in was started to fall apart piece by piece and it was causing a massive disruption in the normal running of the part of the city. It was that, that had cause Dastun and his some of his police force to section off that part of the city.
"What is going on?" Asked Dastun. He didn't understand what was going on with that building. He could see that it was falling apart piece by piece and if he wasn't for his quick reaction, some of the huge gothic style statues that fall down on the ground would of killed somebody.
A huge explosion was heard and that cause Tai to turn back to where the group was located. "We have to hurry, this place is falling apart around us."
"I know, but I can't make heads or tails on this program, it encrypted with some strange code," said Izzy.
"Go here!" Said Roger that pointed at one of the most innocent looking icons. Izzy didn't question Roger order and because of that he clicked on the icon. He founded out that Roger was right because some how he had access around program that was unlike the beginning this program wasn't encrypted, in was in English. With that Izzy quickly mastered the program and before they all knew it h had started up the program that was going to rip open yet another portal between their two worlds.
They all knew this because inside of the glass dome they could see that the same yellow energy beam was formed and outside the beam did the same thing like it did before. It ripped open the gray clad sky and Dastun couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"What the hell is that?" Asked Dastun.
"I don't know, Sir," said one of his officers.
"Let's me a look at that," said Dastun. With that he took at look at what was going on above the HQ of the Paradigm Group. He could see that whatever that energy beam was, it was opening up the gray clad sky and not seeing a blue sky, he could see that there was yet another city up there. A city that he didn't recognized, but he could tell that whatever city it had a blue sky and that was something that he had never seen before in his lifetime.
"Okay, I did, I got the pervious location and it is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania," said Izzy.
"Then what are waiting for," said Davis.
"One thing, it seems by this, that energy from that beam will kill any human life that entered it," said Izzy.
"Then how did Alex go into there without any harm to himself?" Asked Roger.
"I don't know, it could be the fact that he was with other Digimon that had the power to shield him from the energy of that beam," answered Izzy. "Did you know what that means, we have to ride on the back of Imperialdramon."
"Okay, Ken are you ready?" Asked Davis.
"Yes, I am," answered Ken.
"Wormmon Digivoled to…" started Wormmon.
"…Stingmon," ended Stingmon.
"ExVeemon…" started ExVeemon.
"Stingmon…" started Stingmon.
"DNA Digivoled to Paildramon," ended the two of them.
"Paildramon Mega Digivoled to…" started Paildramon.
Through the power of the Azulongmon, Paildramon Digivoled to his Mega Level, Imperialdramon, but because of the huge size that Imperialdramon was it caused more damage to the lab.
"Sorry," said Imperialdramon.
"That okay, this place is going up in smoke, so why should me care if we just help it a little on its way," said Davis.
"All right, everybody on board," said Imperialdramon.
Seconds after that everybody got on the back of the Mega Digimon expect for Kari's Armor Level Digimon. When they did a blue shield covered them all.
"Giga Crusher!" Yelled Imperialdramon and seconds after that a huge ball of energy was shot out of the mouth of the dragon. When he did that most of the glass was broken and with that the great dragon way his way through the broken glass. After that both Garurumon and Nefertimon came after Imperialdramon, with that all three Digimon went into the yellow light. When they did that all three of them rose up into the yellow light into the sky.
"Nice stop Philadelphia!" Shouted Davis.
With that everybody just closed their eyes at what Davis just did, but Roger on the other hand was more focus on getting Alex.
I am coming after you, Alex thought Roger
TBC…
In Chapter 19- Welcome to the City of Brotherly Love
I would also wish everybody Happy New Years!
