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.
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?
Exhausted from the fight with Marine Devimon, the team must explain their actions to the police department.
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.
*This is a reference to the Dubbing error that occurred in the American version of Digimon Season One episode of City Under Siege has made it seem that Matt's father knows what Digimon are, or, at least, what a Gabumon is and this is unequivocally wrong. He knew what was with Matt, was a Digimon, but he didn't know the correct name of the Digimon that was with his son.
Chapter 22: Drive the Night Away
Triplexdramon fired his Golden Trilogy attack at Marine Devimon and after he called out his attack. Golden light formed the mouths of the three heads of Triplexdramon. After that each light came together in a focal point and with that a thick beam of energy was shot at the body of Marine Devimon.
Marine Devimon put up all of his arms in an attempt to block the powerful attack, but it was fruitless as the powerful beam ripped right through the arms and when that happen the beam went through the body of the Digmon. The beam made a huge hole in the Digimon and then the Digmon started to delete by his body turning into a million tiny pieces. At the end of his body turning into that, all of the pieces faded away into nothing.
After that Triplexdramon flew away from everybody to parts that were only know to the Digimon.
"Where he is going?" Asked Kari.
"It seems that Roger want to have a safe place where he can return back to his human form," answered Dorothy.
"Well, dud," said Davis. "It will make sense not to do that over the water."
"But we have to follow him, because if this form follows the pattern when he return to his form after being Big O," said Kari.
"Yes, and with the sun setting, it going to be dark soon, and I might not be a major in weather, I know when the sun sets the temperature normally drops. With him being naked, I don't think that he will survive the night unless we get to him," said Davis.
"Right," said Ken.
"Okay, guys you better suit up, we are going on a field trip," said Tai.
After that all of the Digidestined Digimon that could fly Digivoled to Champion or Armor Level Digimon, with that out of the way all of the Digimon that could take to the sky did so. This group included ExVeemon, Stingmon, Aquilamon, Nefertimon, Pegasusmon, Birdramon, and Kabuterimon. When that happen the Digidestined got on their respected Digimon. That left Cody, Joe, Matt, Mimi, Tai, and Dorothy grounded, but they didn't worry about that because they knew that the others would allow them to ride on the back of their Digimon
"I am going with Kari," said Tai.
"I am riding with T.K.," said Matt.
"I am teaming up with Sora," said Mimi.
"Since, Izzy and I have become good friends, I am going with him," said Cody.
"I am going with Ken, I always wanted to get to know him," said Joe.
"That goes the same with you, Joe. I wanted to get to know you, I heard stories about you," said Ken.
"I hope that they are good stories," said Joe who was a little nervous about this. He didn't know how Ken would react to the stories that portray him as a clumsily individual that would worry about the littlest thing.
"Just great," said Joe nervously.
"Don't worry, all of the stories that I heard of you, were good," said Gomamon
With that Joe and Gomamon got on the back of Stingmon.
"Let's get back to business, Dorothy is still on the ground," said Tai.
"She can come on the back of Kabuterimon, since he has enough room for another person," said Izzy.
With that Kabuterimon knew that he was going to be in for a long trip, not because of the attitude that Dorothy had, but because of the weight that she had. Even if he was an insect like Digimon that had a though outer skeleton that allow him to carry weight that almost ten times his own body weight, it didn't mean that he like doing it. He like carrying light weighted people like Izzy and Cody, this was because it allowed him to fly at his normal speed, but if Dorothy got on the back of him, her weight slow him down.
"Izzy…" started Kabuterimon.
"I am sorry about that, Kabuterimon, but you are the only one that has the room to carry her," said Izzy.
With that gone everybody got on the back of the Digimon that had called and some of the Digidestined had their Digimon in their hands while others were sitting on the back of the Digimon that could fly.
"Okay, people let's go," said Tai.
With Tai's world everybody was in the air flying through the changing skies of this world. Looking at the wonderful display of colors that this world was putting up, made Tai worry about the well being of Roger. He knew that he was a metal thought individual and he was also well built as well, but when it came dealing with the elements, it didn't matter how you were physical, it matter how were dress and how well prepare you were.
On the dock, Marry and Metal Aggymon looked at each other, again Marry could see all of the battle damage that she had received with she fought with Daemon and Marine Devimon. Her battle damage included the cracked sliver armor that was located on her wrists, on her helmet, and on the metal armor that was located on her legs, the slightly ripped clothing, and her metal blades also showed sing of the two hard battles that she had fought. Despite all of that she was still around and that was a clear sing of the strength that she had within her.
"Why do you think that Marine Devimon attacked?" Asked Metal Aggymon.
"I think that he was under order of Daemon to attack the city and force us to give him the other two Jewels," answered Marry.
"By the way, how do you think McTze's team is doing right now?" Asked Metal Aggymon.
Hearing that, Marry reminder that team and how the two of them just left them there without explaining anything to them. While she knew that she didn't commit any crime in there others might not think it like that and with the fact that she had ran from the crime scene, would only further worsen matters for her. She knew that she had to go back to that place and explain things to the police, that she didn't steal the Jewels because she wanted to, she had to do it, to make sure that wouldn't fall in the hands of Daemon and Alex Rosewater.
"What the matter?" Asked Metal Aggymon.
"We ran, we ran from a crime scene, and you and I know for a fact that I didn't run because I had to, but because I was forced to," answered Marry.
Seconds after that she heard the sound of helicopters in the air, and while that wasn't out of the norm for this city. She knew that almost all of the major hospitals had helicopters so that they could transport patients that close to depth quicker so that they could get he medical treatment that they needed so badly. So she brush off the sound until she heard the sound get closer and closer to her location, with that she started to take a look at her surroundings and found out that there was nobody that needed a Medical Copper. With that she knew that it could mean one thing, it was a police copper and that somehow the police had track her to this location. She knew that wasn't good, but despite that she knew that she had to face the music, she had to explain her actions to them the best way that she knew how, without giving away to much information about the other two words.
"Please put your hands up in the air!" Commanded a booming voice.
Hearing that, it was the conformation that she needed, this was indeed a police helicopter and that only thing that she knew that she could do was to listen to what they told her to do. She knew that she wouldn't stand for this, but there were so many factors that were now present right now that would hinder her right now. One of them was the fact that Metal Aggymon was injured right now and wasn't at her full fighting ably and the other one was the fact that she knew that if she ran now, they would no question in the minds of the police that she was a criminal.
With that she started to put her hands up in the air to prove to the police that she had no weapon with her and that if she did she wouldn't be able to reach them.
"Marry, what are you doing?" Asked Metal Aggymon.
"Listing to them, it is our best bet right now, I think that the others can recover Roger with our help," answered Marry.
"No, don't do it," said Metal Aggymon and with that she started her Double Side attack. That meant that she would have to point the two metal blades in the direction of the helicopter.
"Metal Aggymon, what the hell are you doing?! Attacking them isn't going to make us look good," said a socked Marry.
"I wouldn't let them charge you with a crime that I know for a fact that you didn't commit! My Warrior Code of Honor states that I wouldn't let innocent suffer from injustice and this will be an injustice!" Vowed Metal Aggymon.
"Put your weapons down!" Shouted the voice.
Metal Aggymon didn't listen to the order that came from the police and with that Marry knew that it was time for her to say something to get her out of this funk that she was in right now. She knew that Metal Aggymon like most Warrior-type Digimon had a code of honor that they stuck to like glue and while most of the time it was good thing, but right now it was bad thing for the two of them.
"Metal Aggymon, don't do it, and they didn't say that that they were going to charge me with a crime. If do attack the police there will no chance in hell that I will be able to get out of this, put the blades down," pleaded Marry.
Metal Aggymon scoffed at this, but despite her option on this, she was right about this. There were bigger things right now, and this thing was something that was small in the grand scale of things. The bigger picture was to take down Alex Rosewater and Daemon and save Roger's world, and if the two of them were in jail, then one of their allies would have been token out. Then it wouldn't be good for them, it would be good for Alex and his allies. So Metal Aggymon retracted her blades and followed Marry's policy when dealing with this people. She put her hands up in the air. While her weapons were out of sight, it didn't make the police happy and this was because the weapons were not on the ground.
"We told you to put your weapons down!" Order the person.
"She can't do that and that is because the weapons themselves are apart of her," said Marry.
"They won't believe you, the only way that we can get out of this, I will have to go back to my Rookie-Level of Nivernmon," said Metal Aggymon.
"Go and do it," said Marry.
With that Metal Aggymon body change into color and with that the form shrunk into a new form. That new form was Nivernmon, the Baby Dragon-type Digimon. When that happen the police that were on the helicopter didn't know what to say at this, it look like something that was out of The X-Files.
"What the hell was that?" Asked one of the officers.
"Your guest is as good as mine," answered another one.
"What I can tell you is that, whatever that thing is, it isn't doing anything that is threatening to us, and it look like her weapons are gone, so it appears that she isn't a threat to us," said first officer.
"Don't let your guard down, it might be a deception on their part," said the second officer.
Even with that, the two of them knew that they had a job to do right now, they had to take this woman in and her little blue thing that look like a baby dragon as well. They had to find out what happen at the Academy of Natural Sciences and by what the team of scientists told them, she was there when what they best described as "When all Hell broke lose" in their lab. While the team tried their best to described what happen in there, it seem to them that they didn't have the complete picture of what happen there and they told them she was right in the middle of the "Hell that had broken lose" in that lab.
"Okay, take her down," said the officer to the pilot.
The pilot nodded his head at that and landed the chopper in the nearest cleaning that was only a couple of blocks away from where Marry and Nivernmon were waiting.
While they setting down the second officer got something over his PA system and that told him that there were more strange creatures that were flying through the air that were best described as giant version of bugs, eagles, and among them there were mythical creatures as well that were in the bunch. The officer didn't know what to think about this, he thought that the person on the other side had flipped and because of that he ask the person to see if he was serious about this. The person answered yes. Hearing that he didn't know what to think about what is going on around here and he had thought that he had hear everything that people could think of, but hearing this had proven him wrong. There were still things that were even stranger than before.
"Okay, get another chopper to track them, we have just found the person that we are looking for," said the second officer.
"Right, will do," said the person.
Despite the fact that Roger as Triplexdramon had defeated Marine Devimon, he knew that his job wasn't done yet. He knew that he had to find a spot where he could change back into his human form and he didn't like what he was seeing right now. There was no real good spot for him to hide from the regular people in this city.
This isn't good thought Roger.
You are right about that Roger answered Big O/Triplexdramon in the same fashion.
Hearing Big O in his thoughts was something that surprise Roger a little, but it didn't seem to be that illogical for him. This was because the two of them were fused together as one being that was sharing the same body, but their minds were two completely different entities, which allow the two of them to talk to each other.
Thanks for stating the obvious about this, but we need to find a place so I can turn back into my human form. Not because of our size as Triplexdramon but because I think the two of us are running out of energy and if I can used the Digimon when they run out of energy, I will return back to my human form. Since my human form can't fly, the two of us will fall down on the ground thought Roger.
Yes, I have to agree with you on that part answered Big O/Triplexdramon.
Roger use the eyes of the Digimon to scan the area and once before he couldn't find any place that was safe for him to return back to his human form. Then he saw something that could do the trick for him to go back to his human form, and it was an old abandoned warehouse that look like that it has seen better days. With that the two of them turn the form of Triplexdramon toward the warehouse and when they did they could see that they couldn't get inside of the through the normal way, through the door. With that they knew that the two of them had to make an entrance that would be big enough for them to enter into the building.
"Kaiser Klaw!" Yelled Triplexdramon. Seconds after that the claws that were on the hand of the Dragon-type Digimon glowed yellow and when that happen, Triplexdramon swiped at the building with the huge claw of the Digimon.
The fragile wall of the warehouse fall apart like it was made out paper mache and it cause a huge hole to form, that was a little to big for the Holy Legendary Dragon-type Digimon. It didn't matter because it was serving their purpose.
Inside the warehouse Triplexdramon landed on the floor of the building. Two seconds after the Digimon touchdown on the ground with his clawed feet, Triplexdramon's form glowed yellow and after that the form of Triplexdramon shank down to Roger's human form. When he did that he found out that all of the strength that he once had was drain from him and it felt like he was kicked in the stomach. The other thing that he noticed was the fact that good majorities of his clothing were still on his body and when he saw that he wonder why this was be. He knew for a fact that when he turn himself into Big O, he lost all of his cloths during the transformation process.
"How?" He asked himself.
"That is because it wasn't force, it was a gradual process, reminder," answered Big O's image him.
Roger reminder what Big O had told him about form changing that were available to him and how one was a force one that was quick and the other one was a gradual one. The one that was the gradual one was the one that allow him to kept his clothes on despite the fact that he had change his form. With that reminder how he changed into Triplexdramon with Big O's permission and how it was, it was slow process and his skin was ripped off during the process like when he first turned into Megadeus form of Big O.
"You are right, it look like that I forgot about that," said Roger.
"Don't worry," said Big O's image him. "By the way I think your friends are coming."
Roger turned his attention away from Big O's image of him and toward the hole that the two of them had made when they were Triplexdramon. When he did that he could see the damage that was done through Triplexdramon's Kaiser Klaw and he was impressive by the sear amount of damage that was in forth of him.
"Man, when the two of us are Triplexdramon were dangerous and I thought that Big O did a lot of damage," said Roger.
Then Roger saw what Big O was talking about, the rest of the other Digidestined were heading this way and that was a good sign for them. After that Roger look beyond them and with that he could see that they were being chased to flying machines. He didn't know if that was a good sign of a bad sign, and seeing that he instinctually had bad feeling about the flying machines that were behind the Digidestined. This was because of his experiences that he had with Big Duo, which was the only flying machine that he knew of.
"Dam it! I wish that I could change into Big O, but I don't have enough energy to do so," said Roger. "I wish that there is a way that I can tell them that there is danger behind them, before the danger make itself known to them."
Roger behind to think of solutions to this problem, one of them was to seen up flares from his location to tell them that there is danger behind them. As quickly as he thought of that idea he shot that idea down and that was because one, he couldn't find anything that would shoot up flares from his spot. The other reason he couldn't do it was the fact that he knew that if they could see them, then the people that were piloting the flying machines that were behind the Digidestined could also see them, if that happen then his spot would be given away to them. While he wasn't an expert on stealth moves, he knew that was something that would tactical unwise to do something like that. Then he thought of Kari, his half sister, that somehow he could use telepathic ably to send a telepathic message to her to tell her about the danger that was between her and the rest of her group. He didn't know if it was going to work with her, but it was the best shot that he had to tell them all about what was behind them.
So Roger closed his eyes at this.
Kari, can you hear me? If so look behind you thought Roger and after he thought that he could feel the last once of his strength escape him. When that happen he fell down onto the floor of the building and fell a sleep on the floor. It didn't matter to his body that she was sleeping in one of the worst spot that a person could sleep, it only care that he was getting sleep and trying to restore all of the energy that was lost.
Kari and the rest of the other Digidestined made it closer to where they thought Roger had went to. While they didn't know for sure that they were heading in the right spot, they had a funny feeling that he went there.
"Look at that," said ExVeemon.
"What?" Asked Davis.
"The warehouse," answered ExVeemon.
Hearing ExVeemon's statement everybody looked in the direction that ExVeemon was pointing to and they could see what he was talking about. They all saw that the warehouse that he was point had a huge hole that was as big as the wall itself. While that wasn't out of the norm with these type of buildings, it was the nature of the hole, it look to recent be something that would be considered normal for this place.
"Do you think that is where he went?" Asked Ken.
"I don't know for sure, but it a pretty good guess that is where he went to. Look at the hole, it looks to recent," answered Izzy.
"But, this could be one of those freak occurrences that happen once in a while that can't be explain by normal means," said Joe.
"I have also token that into consideration as well, but we should at least investigate the building, to make sure that we didn't miss anything," said Tai.
"Okay, but we should-", started Kari. Then she felt weak and fainted, seeing that Tai caught Kari in his arms.
"Kari!" Shouted Tai.
"Tai, is she all right?" Asked Nefertimon, that slowed down a little and this causes the group that Kari was in to slow down. The group that she was with included Sora and Mimi that were on Birdramon, Yolie that was paired with Aquilamon and last was Tai.
"I don't know," answered a worry Tai. Despite the fact that the two of them weren't full brother and sister, they were half, which still didn't mean that Tai was worry about her. She was still his sister and he still was her brother.
Tai looked at the face of Kari and he could tell that her face color was off color, almost like she was a little flush. Her face color was like the color of her face when she was sick after they walked in the desert that was in the Digital World.
"Kari, are you all right?" Asked Tai. "Why didn't you tell me that you didn't feel so good? I know that it is the way that you are, thinking about others before you, but can't you be selfless once in your life! I know that isn't you, but sometimes being selfless is a good thing, I know how this sounds to you-."
Tai was cut off in mid sentence and this was because he could see that Kari was coming out of the little funk that she was in. Seeing that Tai was overcome with joy in seeing that his sister, even if she was his half sister, pulling through this latest bout with a fainting spell. While it was something that didn't happen to her at the period of her life as it did when she was younger, that didn't mean that it was something that was distressing for him to see happen to her.
"You scare me there a little," said Tai.
"I am sorry, about that, but I got a telepathic message from Roger and he told me to tell you all that you should look behind you," said Kari. "Since I wasn't expecting to get one, it socked my system."
"Why?" Asked Sora.
"There is something that he describes 'as flying machines', and your guest of what that is as good as mind," answered Kari.
Heeding the warning that Kari said Yolie turned her head around and saw that they were being followed. It looks like to her that they were being followed by helicopters and it look like that they were gaining ground on them.
"Tai, you better look behind you," said Yolie.
Tai did so and with that he could see what Yolie was talking about. He saw that they were being following by helicopters and also with that he knew that Roger was talking about when he refereed to this helicopters as "flying machines". It was a pretty good term, but that wasn't the correct tern.
"This isn't good," said Tai.
"I know," said Yolie.
"We can't let them capture us," said Sora.
"I also know that as well. Okay, we have two distract them," said Tai.
"We need are fastest Digimon to distract them," said Sora.
"Okay, I am up for it, as you know Aquilamon is pretty fast," said Yolie.
"'Pretty fast'? I could saw that I really fast," said Aquilamon.
"Okay, Yolie and Aquilamon go out and kept them away from us," said Tai.
Yolie nodded her head at and with that the two of them went off in the direction of where the helicopters were. When that happens the next thing that they all saw was a red blur and after that the only thing that they could see was giant bird-type Digimon blocking the way of the helicopter
"We have to follow Davis's group, we can't worry about Yolie and Aquilamon, I know for a fact that the two of them have been in worst situations before," said Kari. That knew about when Yolie went off to the deep end with her obsession with finding Ken's flying base and that cause her to fall into a pit that contained a Dark Spiral controlled Dokugumon. With that fact, Dokugumon started her attack on Yolie, but Hawkmon step in the way of the attack to protect Yolie from the dangerous attack from the Spider-type Digimon. This did kept Yolie away from danger, but it can at a cost and that cost was Hawkmon being badly injury, so badly that Yolie thought that Hawkmon almost was killed by that Digimon. He wasn't and Kari knew that Yolie was so happy that he was okay and it also taught her a lesson. That lesson was that she shouldn't act like a crazed fool and this was because she or somebody she knew would either get hurt or even killed.
"I don't like that, but Kari is right," said Sora.
Tai didn't like the fact that he was leaving a person behind despite the fact that Yolie wasn't apart of his team, she still was another Digidestined. With that Tai nodded his head at that and with that everybody knew that they had to head long into their mission right now.
* * * * *
Aquilamon was flying at break neck speed and the only thing that Yolie could do to make sure that she didn't fall off her Digimon was to take hold on the feathers that completely covered Aquilamon's body. Despite this, the two of them knew that doing this was something that was require of them to do, if they wanted to complete this mission, that in the long run will help them complete their true mission. Their true mission was to save the world in which Paradigm City was.
"Yolie, are you all right?" Asked Aquilamon.
Yolie took a couple of seconds to catch her breath. "Yes, I will be fine."
"That good, I don't want you to get hurt," said Aquilamon.
That was good news to hear from the mouth of her partner Digimon, that he didn't want to her to get hurt. When she heard that she felt like a great weight was lifted from her body and it was feeling of slight joy that made her lack in judgment. This was the reason when Aquilamon did another one of his powers drives at the helicopters that Yolie was surprise at what he did.
If I live through this, I should kill myself for even suggestion something like this thought Yolie.
"Aquilamon, please for the love of God, reminder not to attack them, we aren't here to at worst kill people or even hurt them. We are just here to prevent them from getting the rest of our team," said Yolie.
Yolie couldn't tell if her words were even heard by Aquilamon, the only true test to see if her words were even heard by him, was his action. They would be the determination factor in this test that the two of them were going through right now. She could tell that Aquilamon didn't listen to her words, he wasn't attacking them with either of his two attacks, the only thing that he was doing was interfering with their fight path, preventing them from going on further.
The next thing that happen was the D-Terminal that Yolie kept with her all of the time beeped. She knew that this could be any of the others trying to tell her something and she wanted to answer the D-Terminal so much, but right now she knew that it would be thought for her to do so. The only thing that she could do right now was to hold for dear life as her Digimon, Aquilamon was preventing the helicopters from reaching their goal. Their goal was to capture the rest of the other team before they could pick up Roger.
"Yolie, I think you should answer that e-mail," said Aquilamon.
"I know, but I can't right now, I am busy trying to stay on you," said Yolie.
"I can take care of that," said Aquilamon.
Seconds after that Aquilamon socked Yolie, but breaking off the attack and heading toward the sky of this world. Everybody that was around there that saw the fight would wonder what the hell was going through the mind of this creature, for breaking off the attack despite the fact that he was doing a great job holding his own against these helicopters. This feeling of surprise and sock was also share by the people that were in the helicopter as well, they couldn't understand why this creature would do something like this.
Despite that fact, they knew that they had to continue on their mission, and that was to head into the are where this creature was defending from them. They knew that they could go back for the other thing after they had completed this one first.
Hovering in the air, Yolie was beside herself, she had no clue why Aquilamon did this. She thought that the two of them would continue this sparing of those. It looks like that she was wrong with this guess and the only thing that she could right now was to adjust to what just happen here. The thing that she had to do right now was to find out why Aquilamon did this.
"Aquilamon, what was that all about?" Asked Yolie.
"You had a message on your D-Terminal, and you tell me that you needed to answer to e-mail," answered Aquilamon.
"Yes, I did say that, but I didn't mean you to stop the fight. All I know that piece of e-mail could be a piece of SPAM or even SPAC," said Yolie.
Aquilamon had a confuse look on his face, he had no clue what she was talking about. He didn't feel the need to ask a question of what they were. The only thing that he could do right now was to suggest that she open up the piece of e-mail that was inside of her D-Terminal right now. "Yolie, I suggest that you open up the piece of e-mail that is currently inside of your D-Terminal right now."
Yolie open up the D-Terminal and she found out that the e-mail that she had received wasn't SPAM or even SPAC, it was a piece of e-mail that had a purpose. The e-mail contain a message that was send by Kari and it told her that they had reach were Roger is, that the two of them should stop want they are doing and they should come back to the warehouse.
"What dose it say?" Asked Aquilamon.
"Okay, it says that the rest of the others have found where Roger is and they have pick him up. That the two of us should return back to the warehouse where the rest of the team is waiting for us," answered Yolie.
"So what are we waiting for," said Aquilamon.
"Nothing, so let's go," said Yolie.
With that Aquilamon once again went into one of his famous power drives, but this time Yolie was expecting it to come. It was the reason she was preparing for the sheer power that was behind the move of his. It was that speed of his that made his appeared as a red color blur to anybody that was watching the two of them. It was also this speed that Aquilamon had made the two of them pass the helicopters once again.
Back at the warehouse, the team of Digidestined and Digimon had landed inside of the building. After they did that, the Digimon stood guard while the Digidestined walked to where Roger was. They all could see that he was lying on the ground and they didn't know if he was asleep or even dead. The only thing that they knew was that he was on the ground with his eyes closed. In the long run of things, they found out that Roger was sleeping, but the real question was how long he would be sleeping and why was he sleeping.
"Do you have any clue why he is sleeping?" Asked Tai.
Dorothy looks at Roger and like before she couldn't tell what was going on with Roger. What was going on with Roger was a big mystery to her. After taking a couple of seconds look at Roger in this weaken state of Roger, the next thing that she look at was Kari. She knew like the rest of the others, that the two of them were related to each other through their father. She knew that some times brother and sisters had a link that was beyond words.
"What about you, Kari? Do you sense or even feel anything from him?" Asked Matt.
Kari tried to sense anything from Roger and unlike before, she didn't get anything from him. "No, I not getting anything from him."
With that, Sora walked up where Kari was and held her hand. "Maybe it a two way street, try to send a message to Roger, telling him that you are worry about him and you want to know what is going on with him."
"You guys better hurry up, we got company," said ExVeemon.
With that Davis leap into action by running up where ExVeemon was located and when he did that he could see what ExVeemon was talking about. He could see that Aquilamon and Yolie were coming in their direction. That was the good thing, but the bad thing with this, he could see that the helicopters that the two of them were told to kept occupied, were following them as well.
"You are right, ExVeemon," started Davis. After that he turned around in the direction of where the rest of the others were. "We do have company, and it is Aquilamon with Yolie, plus their dumb helicopters are coming in this direction."
"Kari, try to talk to him," said Sora.
Roger, it me, Kari. Please tell us, are you okay and why are you like this? We are worry about you; we need to know what is going on with you thought Kari. She hoped that the connection that the two of them share would work in the same way that it worked with Roger when he send a telepathic message to her.
What Kari got was more than she expected to have happen, she was hopping to get a reaction from Roger. What she got was a feeling of overwhelming bewildered, almost like she was drowning in a sea of being totally lost in a place that she had been before. The only thing that she could to counter this feeling was to drop to her knees and place both of her hands on her head.
Seeing that, Tai ran to her aide. "Kari, what is going on?!"
Kari didn't answer to him and because of this Tai was in distress at seeing this. He went to her level and tried to shake her back to her senses, to bring her back to the real world and get her out of this funk that she was in right now. It look like that it wasn't working for her, she look like that was stuck into this funk that she was in right now.
"Kari! Snap out of it!" Shouted Tai.
Kari answers to this demand of Tai, but fainting in his arms. "NO!" Cried Tai.
The next thing that Kari saw was she was in a place that was covered in a thick gray mist, like the same type of haze that would appear when it was drizzling outside. The mist was so thick that she couldn't see through it. When she saw that she thought that she was once again the World of Darkness where she had meet the things that called themselves as Scubamon. They said that some dark man put on Dark Spirals, she thought that they were referring to Ken when he was the Digimon Emperor, but she found out that was all a lie. That happens when the Spirals were removed, they turned themselves into dark blob-like things, which only thing that she could clearly tell what it was, were the pairs of crimson color eyes, that themselves were a contracting feature against the black bodies of these things.Thinking that this place was that, she started to take a look at the place that she was in, to see if this place has the same landmarks that the portion of the World of Darkness that she was in. She found out that this place didn't have the ink-color seas that were the Sea of Darkness or the lighthouse that would only shine black light. She was in a place that looks like that it was in a land lock section of this place.
This is so strange thought Kari. Where I am?
After that Kari started to take a look through the place and she found out that the thickness of the mist that was around her, was maintain the same amount of thickness through out the place. The only place that she could see anything was the small amount of space that was ahead of her and she knew that this was dangerous to have because she would have no clue if there were anybody that would come up behind her.
This isn't good thought Kari at what she was doing. She knew that this was the best policy when dealing with this place, but it was the only thing that she could do right now. There wasn't a map in this place that could tell her where to go, she completely in the dark when dealing with this place.
The next thing that she heard was a sound, a sound that sounded like something that was crying out in pain. Hearing that she knew that wasn't good, she figure out that at best something was hurt and at worst something was being killed by a person. The only thing that she could was run in the direction of where she thought that sound was coming from. While she was running in the direction, the same murky fog was still around her and when she was running through the fog it felt like she was going through something solid.
"Are you okay?" Asked Kari.
She got no words from her question, but she got her answer from action. She could see that a figure that was clad in black fall down on the ground. The figure look like it was something that look like it was a creature, and the creature look like that it had wings on the back of the thing and it also had a pair of horns on top of the thing as well. After the horn and winged figure thing fall down to what she thought was the ground, she saw another figure that was also clad in black that hind almost all of the details of this figure. What she could tell from the general shape of this figure was the it was human-shape and in one hand of that person that was next to the fallen figure it look like that he was holding a sword in one its hand. The human-looking shape was coming closer to her or that thing that was on the ground, she didn't know what that thing was going to do to her. All she knew was that human-looking thing was coming into her direction.
She tried to get away from that thing, but she found out that her legs wouldn't work for her. It look like that her body was scared stiff, and that is something that she thought would never happen to her, but she prove that it would happen to her.
"Stop! Don't do it! Don't kill me! I didn't do anything to you," cried Kari.
"Kari, is that you?" Asked a voice.
Hearing that voice, she knew that it was Roger's voice and with that she wondered why was he here in this place that look like that it a general type of world, that only had the basic features of a world. With no real telling features that would tell her what this place was.
"Is that you?" Asked Kari.
The darken figure that was hidden by the thick fog came into view and she found out that it was Roger that had the sword it his hand. Seeing that, Kari made the guess that he was the one that had hurt the other figure that look like that it was demon-type thing that she had seen fall on the ground.
"Kari, what are you doing here?" Asked Roger.
"I don't know, I was trying to contact you in the same fashion that you did with me. I thought that it might be two way street," answered Kari. "I want to know what are you doing here as well?"
"Kari, that is a dangerous game that you just played, you didn't know what was going to happen to you. With you second question, I don't know why I am here, I think this might be a dream of mine. I know this because of this," Roger stopped long enough to show Kari the sword that was in his hand. "The sword, I have seen this sword before."
Kari looks at the sword and she could tell that a part of the sword was cover in blood. That wasn't the only other thing that she saw on the sword, there were four symbols, and the symbols look like that they were symbols that were token off from the different crests that each of the first group of Digidestined that she belong to. With that she took a closer look at the symbols and she could tell that the symbols were the on the sword where the same symbols that belong to T.K., which was the crest of Hope, after his, came hers, the Crest of Light, with hers out of the way Marry Sanderous's crest, which was the crest of Order. The final out of this group, was Roger's crest, the Crest of Power. Seeing that she wondered what was the important of the four different symbols that were on the sword.
"Do you know what the meaning of those symbols that are on that sword?" Asked Kari.
"No, I don't know the meaning of these symbols are. I do know what the symbols are, the are the Crests of Hope, Light, Order, and Power," answered Roger. After that Roger got closer to Kari and when he did, he drop the sword on the ground and put both of his hands around Kari.
"Even with this, you have to get out of here, I don't know what will happen to you if you stay here any longer," said Roger.
"I know, I have to leave here, but that goes the same with you as well. You have to leave here as well," said Kari.
"I know, I have to come back to real world," said Roger.
With that Kari nodded her head at that and with that Kari left that world. She found out that she was back into the real world and she could see that her other brother, Tai was with her. He was holding her with his two hands. She could tell that he was worry about her well being about what had happen to her.
"Kari, you are okay," said Tai.
"Where did you go?" Asked Sora.
"I was in Roger's dream and I think he it happen when I tried to send him a telepathic message to him, the same way that he did to me, but what had happen to me, prove that I can't do what he can do. It look like that it is a one way street, which only he can travel down," answered Kari.
"That is correct, you can't do that," said Roger.
"That is good to hear, that the two of you are okay, but we have another problem right now," said Davis.
Everybody turned around and they could see that Davis had his hands up in the air with somebody pointing a gun at him.
"Just great," said Joe.
Marry was in the interrogation room of the police station and she couldn't believe that she had gotten herself into this place. She knew that this wasn't the place that she wanted to be in right now, but the Faiths had thought that she did belong in this place right now. She wanted to know why they had made this choice for her, did they know that there were more important places that she had to be in right now and one of them was that she had to be out on the street, looking for Alex and Daemon. This was because she needed to know what they were about to do to her world, the Digital World, and the world that Roger came from. She knew that she couldn't do that right now, because she was waiting in this room, for somebody to talk to her.
To make matters worst for her, was the fact that Nivernmon was token to another place and she had funny feelings that had took her to a place where they were put rabbit animals in. Marry knew that Nivernmon was an animal type Digimon and this was because of the type that she was. She was a baby dragon-type Digimon and a dragon was a mythical animal that came from myths and legends. She could image the look of the people that took care of the animals when they brought her into that place, a real dragon, and to make matters worst for her, was the fact that she had the ably to talk to them, to express her feelings about that place.
The door of the room opens up and she found out that person that she was about to talk to her was a detective of the PPD. She knew the disposition of a police detective would be, they were harsh and have a thick skin that would defected most anything that would be throw at them. They would only heard what they wanted to hear. Despite the fact that sometimes a person was telling the truth, if it wasn't what they wanted to hear, they would tell that person they lying to them and do all short of stuff the beat out what they wanted to hear. With that gone, Marry also noticed that he was carry a crème color folder in one of his hands.
"Hello, I am Detective Stan Stone," said the police detective.
"Hello, Mr. Stone," said Marry.
Detective Stone walked to the other side of the table and sat down at the chair that was on the other end of the table and after he did that he put the folder down on the table as well. While he was doing that, Marry was paid close attention to his body language. She could tell that he was a pretty decent mode, but she knew that was all a muse to relax her. The true test of his body language would be how he would talk to her.
"Now, I have a fairly relax way of doing things and I can safely assume that you are pretty smart person," said Stone.
"Yes, I am pretty smart person and I assume that you are also pretty smart as well," said Marry.
The police detective nodded his head at that. "Yes, I say that I pretty smart, but you have to reminder this, giving me positive comment won't help in this."
Marry knew that and she didn't need him to tell her that. "Can I ask you a question."
"Yes, you can," he answered.
"I am being charge with anything?" Asked Marry.
"No, we just want you for questioning about what happen at the Academy of Natural Sciences and we will move onto pressing charges or not," answered Stone.
Marry nodded her head at that.
"Okay, I would like to know what do you know about the fire that took place in there," said Stone.
It is how or never thought Marry. She knew that it was time to face the music and she knew unlike the last time she was in this spot, there nobody that was going to help her get out of this one.
"All I know is the fact that I was busy with Dr. McTze when he was taking look at my Jewel, to see if it was the one that he was looking for. I don't what happen after that, but what I do know was that the was a small fire in the lab, somebody must have did something that cause that fire. That is all I know about that," answered Marry.
The police detective nodded his head at this and it look like to her that he was taking all of the information into his head and comparing it to what he had heard to the people that were at the building. She could tell that, he wasn't buying her story and that she was lying about what happen there.
"If that is so, why were you the last person to lead that building?" He asked her again.
"I wanted to make sure that all of the team got out of the building before the place caught on fire. I was worry about the other people, I don't like to see people get hurt, just because they are just doing their job," answered Marry.
"So you think that you are some type of modern day crusader?" Asked Stone.
"No, I don't, but as stated before I don't like to see people get hurt just because they are doing their jobs. That is one of the reasons why I hated that attack almost two mouths ago," answered Marry. "What dose me being a 'modern day crusader' have to do with the fire that happen in the lab?"
"It has everything do with it," said Stone and with that Marry noticed that his voice was getting more demanding. It seemed to her that she wasn't telling him what he wanted to hear. "There are reports from the other scientists that you said that there was," he paused to take a look at the folder and after that he pull out a white piece of paper that had text, text that look like that it was typed up. " And I quote, 'Because there is a Demon out there and he wants these Jewels, and I not going let him take them from this place.' Do you deny that you said that?"
"No, I don't deny that, but there was indeed a demon that was after the Jewels," said Marry.
"And you thought that you were the one to make sure that you 'demon' wouldn't get them," said Stone.
"Yes, because…" started Marry that realized what was about to happen. She was about to tell him everything that was going on here. She knew that he wasn't going to believe it, no matter what, and this was because the story sounded like something an author would think of.
"Because what!" Ordered Stone.
Marry shook her head. "You wouldn't believe it," answered Marry.
"Believe what?" Asked Stone.
"The truth, the truth about everything that is going on right now. Have you been watching the news, and no I not talking about the current events that spend most of their time talking about the Sept 11, I am talking about the other things, things that don't get the big headlines like that did. I a talking about the strange weather patterns that are going on right now. Did you know that some places that don't even see a signal drop of rain are receiving downpours?" Answered Marry.
"Changing the subject won't help you, I want to know what is this 'true" that you are speaking about," said Stone.
"Okay, but you better hold on, because it sounds like something that would come straight out of SF novel or movie," said Marry.
"All right, let's start with this, do you reminder about four years ago, when the sky was full with a unknown island that was up side down that appeared all over the place. Strange creatures came popping out of it?" Asked Marry.
"Yes, what was that and what were their creatures?" Asked Stone.
"That place was called the Digital World, a world that is outside of our own that exist parallel to our own, the creatures that you saw that came out of there, they are called Digimon. If you want to know that blue dragon that came with me is one, yes she is," answered Marry. "Most of the time our two worlds live with each other in perfect balance, but there come a time when the balance between our two worlds collapses, and our two world start to be one."
"Like what happen fours years ago," said Stone.
"Yes, and a couple of mouths ago. It looks like that it happening all over again, and I know this is happening because of a Digimon demon, that is called Daemon," said Marry.
Hearing that name, Stone looked at the piece of paper that was full with typed up text and found out that name was in that report. He wondered was that Daemon that Marry was speaking of, was the same one.
"Is this Daemon that you are speaking of, the same one that is mention in this report the same one?" Asked Stone.
"Yes, he is," answered Marry.
"Why do you think he wants the Jewels?" Asked Stone.
"Because he wants to take over the Digital World and maybe even ours," answered Marry.
"Why?" Asked Stone.
"I don't know, but what I do know is that has team up with other villain, and this villain a very rich and very influential person in the world that he is lives in," answered Marry.
"What are you saying that there is another world out there, beside our world and the Digital World?" Asked Stone.
"Yes, and this world is full with humans and the problem with their world, is that 40 years ago, the people that live in that world lost all their memories of the past and this memory lost has stay with the every generation since. This person that told you was a villain that was very rich and very influential is the leader of this place and his name is Alex Rosewater. I don't know why he wants these Jewels, but I can safely assume that whatever it is, it can't be good for any of three worlds," answered Marry. "You can laugh at me, I know how it sounds like."
I think that is good enough for him to get the jest of what is going on here. He dose not need to know about the Megadeuses that inhabited that world thought Marry.
Stone just blinked his eyes at what she just said to him. Marry didn't know if that was a good sign of not and with that she wondered what was going on with the others. She knew that she didn't have the time to take off with the others.
The rest of the other Digidestined and Digimon found themselves being rounded up, like they were crooks. Most of them had no clue why they being taking away by the police, but Izzy had a funny feeling what it was, it was because of the act of computer fraud that he did to get inside of the hotel. They had found out what he had did and how they were going to take him and with that he wondered did they found out about Tai, Sora, Matt, Davis, T.K., Kari, Joe, Yolie, Ken, and Cody that were here illegally with that Izzy wondered what they were going to do with Roger and Dorothy. Izzy knew that they look like that they were American citizens and they also had American sounding names, he knew for a fact that if they did tests on either Roger and Dorothy they would find out that the two of them were different from normal humans. Izzy knew that Roger was human, the only different was the fact that he had machine enchantment to him, but Dorothy on the other hand was a machine, despite the fact that she look like that she was human.
To matters worst for them all, was the fact that the police had spit up their group into groups of four. One of the groups had Tai, Kari, Izzy, Roger, and Dorothy; another group included Matt, Sora, Davis, and T.K. The third group included Ken, Joe, Yolie, Mimi, and Cody, and the fourth group included all of their Digimon. Izzy thought that they did this because of two reasons, one of the reasons was the fact that they didn't have a van that was big enough to fit them all into one place. The other reason why the police thought that they spit up them they would have some type of power over them since they had forced them into smaller groups rather than deal with the much larger group that they had first started with.
"Do you know what they want with us?" Asked Kari.
"No, I don't, but I have funny feelings that it has to do with that fight that we have with Marine Devimon," answered Tai.
"I am sorry about that, but I had to do something, it look like that Metal Aggymon and Marry where having trouble with Marine Devimon. Under normal circumstances, I think that Metal Aggymon would be able to take down that Digimon, but if you didn't know, Metal Aggymon was hurt with her fight with Daemon," said Roger.
"You, could have done it with something that a little less big as Triplexdramon was," said Tai.
"And you wanted him to used the Big O against that thing, Tai the Big O is just as bad as Triplexdramon was," said Kari.
"What are you saying, that it was better for Roger to turn into Triplexdramon, than the Big O?" Asked Tai.
"Yes, because at least with Triplexdramon, we said that it was a Digimon, and I think a decent amount of people are familiar with Digimon," answered Izzy.
"That is true, but not enough of people to think that they are a living thing, that can experience a whole wide range of emotions, just like humans can," said Kari. "There are some people that thing that are just data, and because of that they think that are something that can be simply throw away."
"Like, Ken used to be when he was the Digimon Emperor, he thought that the Digimon was just pieces of data that can be used and destroyed just like that," said Kari.
"That sounds just like Ken when he was that person," said Tai.
"How do you know that? You won't in the Digital World when all of that happen to that place?" Asked Roger.
"I know about what he did, because the reports that I would get from the others about the horrors that he did to the Digimon," answered Tai.
While Roger only got a sample of what Ken did to the Digital World when he was the Digimon Emperor, it was enough for him to know what he had did to the Digimon at that time. What he did know, made him a little sick to his stomach, he couldn't image that somebody would think that Digimon, that he had learn where living creature despite the fact that they were made up in data, where nothing more than pieces of data, nothing more, nothing less.
"Can you tell what they are?" Asked Roger.
Kari looked at Roger with a bit of surprise at him, Kari thought that since Roger had read the mind of Ken, that he would know all of the details of the horrors that Ken did to the Digimon. Seeing this, it proved that her thinking was off of the mark.
"Okay," said Kari.
In another van, this van included the group of Matt, Sora, Davis, and T.K, just like Tai, Izzy, and Kari; they were without their Digimon. Like the others, they had no clue why the police had rounded them up like this, and spilt them up into this small group of four. Most of them thought that it was something that was complete out of bounce, that they had every right to know why they were in this van.
"Do you have any idea why the local police are acting like this?" Asked Sora.
"No, I don't know, maybe Daemon has something to do with it," answered T.K.
"I don't think that might be the case, Daemon, is a load mouth, he loves to take credit for things," said Davis.
"Oh, just like you, Davis," said T.K.
"WHAT! I am not like that, T.J!" Shouted Davis.
"Yes, you are, reminder all of the time I had a good ideas that I had, you took credit for it, despite the fact that most of the time are thinking of something else or sleeping," said T.K.
"That isn't true!" Shouted Davis.
"Yes, it is, and you know it is," countered T.K.
Hearing this Matt was reminder the time that he had fought with Tai when they were in the Digital World. With that Matt had a bit of simile on his face, it look like that his younger brother was replacing his role in the new group of Digidestined. Even with that, he knew that fighting with each other wasn't good for two reasons. One, it was a waste of effort and the other reason was the fact that it wasn't good for the moral of the team.
"Are you going to let the two of them continue like this?" Asked Sora.
"Maybe," said Matt.
"Matt!?" Said Sora.
"What? What did I say?" Asked Matt.
"If was your answer! You are going to let the two of them fight like this, and you don't know if this is going to end up in a fist-fight. Like how you and Tai fought with each other on the piece of broken File Island that may it up to the Northern Part of the Digital World," answered Sora.
"All right then," said Matt.
After that Matt took a look at what was going on with Davis and T.K. were doing and he could tell that the two of them were still having a war of words. Even that was getting heated and it would only be a matter of time that this war of words was going to break out in an all out fight between the two of them. That was something that neither Sora nor Matt wanted right now, plus with the fact that they were inside of a police van. They all knew if the divers of the van found out that two of them were fighting each other; they would stop the entire cavern that they were in right now. They would separate both T.K. and Davis, so that this wouldn't happen again.
"Hey, guys knock it off! We don't need this right now," said Matt.
Neither Davis nor T.K. hear what Matt's plead to stop the fighting among the two of them. Matt thought that this was happening like this. This was because the two of them were so wrapped up in their fighting with each other, that didn't hear Matt.
"Hey! Knock it off, the two you! Do you want to get token off this van?" Asked Sora.
Maybe it was the sound of a different voice or even the sound of a female voice that did it. Whatever the reason it was, it was her voice that had snapped the two of the out of their fighting mode. The two of them looked at each other and wonder what just happen to them.
"Now that the two of your have stop fighting each other, I would like to talk to you all about what is going on with us right now," said Matt.
"What to talk about, we are inside of a police van right now, and we don't know the reason why we are here," said Davis.
"I think it has something to do with the fight that took place with Marine Devimon," answered T.K.
"He is right, you know, it was strange how after that fight we were all being chased by the helicopters. It was in the same fashion when we went back to the Real World when we were looking for the Eight Digidestined Child. At first, Myotismon, didn't know that we were in the Real World with him, but that all changed when my Digimon, Birdramon Digivoled to her Ultimate Level of Garudamon to defeat another Ultimate Level Digimon, Mammothmon. When that happen, Myotismon knew that we were in the Real World just like he was," said Sora.
"So you are saying that if it wasn't for Roger showing up as Triplexdramon and defeating Marine Devimon the way that he did, we wouldn't be in this place?" Asked Davis.
"Yes, and I think that they are bring us in to question us about what had happen over the Delaware River," answered Sora.
"Just great, how are we going to explain to them, that there is another world out there that is called the Digital World and how I don't think that they are going to believe that," said Matt.
"Don't be so doubtful about that, reminder how our father reacted when he saw Gabumon for the first time. He knew who he was," said T.K.
Matt closed his eyes at this, because Matt knew the truth behind this. "That not correct, T.K., he told me later own that he made a mistake on that, he told me that he knew about the existence of Digimon. *"
"I didn't know that," said T.K.
"Now, you do, but that is getting off our point. Our point is, that I don't think that there won't be anybody that will believe that there is another world out there. Despite the fact that the Digital World did make an appearance after we defeated Myotismon for the first time, when he was Venom Myotismon," said Matt.
"They have to believe us," said Sora. "What happen four years ago, is biggest prove that world dose exists."
"That still dose not mean that they will believe that it dose exists, there are people that are convince that will just a muse to convince everybody that world was real as you as me," said Matt.
"That isn't good," said Davis.
"You got that right," answered Matt.
With that they all looked at each other and wonder how they were going to get out this.
The third group of Digidestined that included Joe, Cody, Ken, Yolie, and Mimi were also in a police van as well. They were in the van was following the van that included Matt, T.K., Sora, and Davis, like the other Digidestined, they had no clue why they were forced into this van. While Mimi, wasn't that familiar with American Crime Law, but she knew without a shadow of a doubt that there was a law in the books that stated that they couldn't lock you up without giving you a good reason. She thought that this law went the same with the police took you into police protection without giving you a reason as well, but it look like that she was wrong with that. While she had a good reason why they were doing this, because of the attack that happen in New York City. She also knew that the President Bush didn't want the police to act like this, to break Civil Laws left and right, but it look like that this city was do that right now to her, despite the fact that she was an American citizen. While she wasn't a natural born citizen, she was a naturalize one, one that took the oath of citizenship, that meant that she share the same type of Civil Laws that the natural born citizens had.
"Do you have any clue what is going with us? Why they are taking us in this most ugly vans?" Asked Mimi.
"I don't know, why they are doing this to us, I tell you one thing, I think this is against the Crime Laws of the United States. If my memory serve me right, the police can't lock you up without giving you a good decent reason and I think that goes the same with taking people into police protection," said Ken.
"I have to take you word of on that, because I have no clue how the Justice System works here in the States," said Cody.
"I hope that you are right on that one, Ken. If you aren't correct I we don't know what is going on here," said Joe.
"You guys, didn't answer my question, do you have any clue what is going here? Why are the police taking us in?" Asked Mimi.
"I don't know for sure, but I think he has to do with the fact of what happen over the Delaware River. When Roger, show up as that big golden three headed dragon that was known as Triplexdramon," answered Cody.
"That dose not make any sense, why would they want us? I mean we didn't do a thing, we didn't attack that Digimon, he did and so did Marry and Metal Aggymon. They are the ones that they should be asking about what had happen over the Delaware River, not us," said Mimi.
"I know, Mimi, but they want to cover all of the bases, to find out what is going on right now. They don't know what is going on to this place," said Ken.
Joe knew that Ken was correct about this, the police needed to cover all of the bases when dealing with something as bizarre as Digimon were to people that didn't know what they were like they did. To somebody that didn't know what they were, they would seem like monsters that would appeared out nowhere. Almost like something that would come straight out of a movie.
"We will have to wait and see what is going go down the line," said Joe.
"I just hope that, what comes down the line dose not smack us," said Ken.
In the final van that included all of the Digimon that belong to the Digidestined, and just like their human partners, they also wondered why they were rounded up like they were. They knew like the humans, they didn't do anything that was wrong. The only thing that they did that they thought was wrong, was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Like the humans, they only thing that they could do right now was to wait and see what was about to come down the line.
Detective Stan Stone had left the room that held Marry and outside of the room, it was time for Detective Stone to think about what Marry had just told him about what was going on in the world right now. He didn't know if Marry was a crackpot that was smoking something or was she a legit person that was telling the truth about what was going on with this world. He didn't know what to believe she did have something that was proof, the blue creature that was in another one room. She was right about that thing, it was something that none of them have seen before. He knew that he couldn't accept that thing at face value, because that thing could be something that was made to fool him in thinking that she was telling him the truth.
"Stan, what your problem?" Asked another person that was in the building.
"I don't know what to do with this person that inside of the HeatBox," answered Stone.
"Explain," the person said.
"She is telling me this out wrack story about other worlds and how these other worlds are planing to take over are world. What happen at the Academy, was produced by one of these invaders that called themselves 'Daemon'," answered Stone.
"That is a little hard to shallow," started the person. "But how do you feel about it?"
Stone was about to say something at this, but before he could do anything he was stopped. This as because their watch Commander had told them that a four vans have just rolled up and in them they had the people that were around at the time when huge sea monster-like thing had appeared out of the water. With that Stone knew like the rest of the people here that it was time to take care of these people. Hearing that Stone knew that he had to put Marry on the back burner right now and deal with what characters that were inside of the police vans right now.
Angel was standing at the water front where an almost Apocalypse battle took place here when Roger and his Megadeus, The Big O, took on the other three Megadeues that came out of the ocean. Angel knew that it was too soon for Roger and his Megadeus to take on these others. Somehow the timetable that they were working on somehow was advanced by an unseen force, despite the fact that they were follow Digimon just she was that were forced to be put into the form without their word. She knew when she had seen them, that the Digimon that were inside of them, were not good Digimon like she was and the Digimon that the Big O was, despite the fact that, that Digimon never really got a chance to become a "true" Digmon like she was. She still knew that the core of the Digimon that Big O would have been was still a good and decent Digimon. Thinking of that, Angel thought maybe that was the reason why the Big O picked Roger, because it knew that the two of them shared the same type of personality traits. How each one of them couldn't stand to see the innocent be hurt or even stand seeing injustice happen.
Even with that thought across her mind, she was wondering what was going on with Roger and the other Digidestined. She was wondering what was talking so long, she knew like the rest of the others that a year had past since Roger had gone through the vortex that was formed in the sky over the headquarters of the Paradigm Group. While the missing of Roger didn't destroy this city, but this city was missing his presence, most of the cases that he took that nobody wanted that were solved by him, went unsolved.
It wasn't the unsolved cases, that was something that would continue to happen in this city, that was something that couldn't be stop no matter what. It was the missing of Alex Rosewater that had the biggest impact on this city and this was because Paradigm didn't have it iron clawed leader to watched over this city, that job fell on the numerous committees heads. Nine times out of ten none of them agree on how to do things under a normal series of events, but right now this city and all of the people that called it home, they won't under a normal series of events. It was because of that, these committees heads were forced to agree on some things and Angel guess this wasn't for the benefits of the people. It was to make Alex Rosewater happy when he came back, so that they could kept their well paying jobs in the inner circle of this city. Thinking of that, made Angel sick to her stomach that these people were forced to work together, not because they wanted to, but because they had to, and they won't even forced to do it because of good reasons. They were forced to do because they all wanted to keep their jobs.
Angel turned her attention away from the water of the ocean and this was because of the memories of that battle that she had seen take place. While she was safe most of the time from the fight, it was what almost happens to Dastun that made her turn away from the sight of the battle. She had seen like all of the people that saw that battle, that he was almost killed by Roger and the Big O when the two of them had destroyed one of the attacking Megadeues. She knew that Roger had saved him from being killed, but that didn't lessen the horror she felt when she saw that happen there.
"I can't stay here and pine for what happen here, it had already happen. Roger and the Big O had cross the line. The only thing that we can do, is to make sure that all of our actions that we do, will help him rise up and meet his destiny, save this world from evil," said Angel.
The first step in that, is to find that darn Sword of the Four Virtues that was written in the room what was just a couple of yards away from Roger's house thought Angel. It has to be in this city somewhere, bury under some much red tape and debris, that make is almost impossible to fine it.
Then it hit Angel like be shot by an attack that came from a Mega-Level Digimon. She knew where the sword was located and with that she wondered how stupid she was. It was the place that a woman that called herself Nancy ran underground to help the people that had lost their memories get back to surface world and have a better life than the one that was underground. With that she knew that was the place that she had to go to find that sword that belong to Roger. After that she got into her motorcycle and started off in the direction of where that place was. Unknown to Angel that she was being watched by a demon-type Digimon that went by the name of Skull Satanmon, a member of the Demon Core that was under the command of Daemon.
With this skeleton staff, Skull Satanmon put it on his black skeleton body. "The Master will be pleas with me, with this information. I can't what do the human said…oh yes, 'Jump the Gun' with this one. I will have to see if she truly know where that sword is located."
Despite that fact, Skull Satanmon disappeared from view and followed Angel as she drove through the streets of this city. Unknown to Skull Satanmon, Angel felt his present despite the fact that he was hidden from her sight, this was because of the training that she went through before she went into this world. Part of her training was to feel for the present of any other Digimon that was around her. While she felt his present it didn't mean that she could take him on, and this was because of the power that she felt with his present, he knew that he was an Ultimate-Level Digimon, while she was a Champion Level Digimon. She knew that was outmatch in power and the fight would be extremely short and would end up with her dead, with Skull Satanmon still around this place.
While she was driving, her thoughts became to wonder about how Roger was doing. She knew that while the world that the Digidestined came from and the world that Roger lived looked the same, they were not the same. It was that reason she wondered how would Roger deal with all of their strange technology, that Roger had never seen before in his life.
Please hold on, Roger I know that you can thought Angel.
Roger like the rest of the other Digidestined found them inside of a plain style room that had no type of decorations that would make this place feel more comfortable. Seeing that, Roger knew that this place was only one thing, it was a police interrogation room and to Roger this wasn't something new to him. This was because when he was a Lieutenant in the Paradigm Military Police, he had done his share of time in these rooms before. He was on the other side of this place, he was the one that would do all of the asking of question and not the other way around. Being on the other side of this, didn't do anything to Roger, he still had to keep his icy determiner with these people when he was out on his job.
The waiting that he was going through didn't brother, and he knew the reason behind this, he was all a tactic that the police would used on people, to make them sweat. To forced them to say something that they wouldn't normally said to them. Sometimes this would prove that a person was guilty of a crime or prove that they were innocent of a crime and that they were taking the fall for somebody else. If that were so, this would tell them why this person would be doing this. While he was prepare to take the heat, he wanted to know how other Digidestined would fare in this mind game, he wasn't worry about Dorothy, because he knew that she would clam up and there would be nothing that the police would be able to get her to talk. This was because she was a machine, a machine that was in the shape of a woman with an annoying personality, but she was still a machine. Being a machine meant that she didn't have any desires that could be used against her, like humans did.
The other Digidestined, he worries about them and that was because they didn't look like to be as harden as he was. To him they look like to have a little bit of sheltered lives living in that other country that they called Japan. He knew that if the police find that out, they would used that against them and force them to say something that don't want to say to them.
The open up and when he did, Roger turned his attention to the open door, to see who was going to interrogate him. He could see that the person that was going to interrogate him look like to he was in 40es, about the same age as Dastun is. Even with that, he knew that he had to keep his icy determiner to this person no matter how nice this person would seem to him. He knew that could be just a muse to get his to let his guard down and he knew that if he did that, it would be the down fall for him.
"Hello, Mr. Smith," said the person.
Roger just look at him with the same icy stare that he would give to the criminal element of the city that he came out of. It was the type of look that would tell everybody that was around him that he wasn't the type of person that one should be messing with if you one knew what would be good for them. This look that he had, was the look that he was famous for and he could tell that his look did make the person that was inside here with him a little uneasy being around him. Roger knew that this wasn't his attention, he just wanted to tell this person that he wasn't happy being here and he wanted to get out of here as fast as he could.
"Hello," he said in a voice that had a little bit of inflection to it.
"All right then, if you want to play hardball with me, fine with me, but you don't have to do this. All I want to know is why you were around that building with those creatures that look like giant bugs, birds, and even a dragon," said the person.
"I was there, because I heard something that sounded like a huge wall had collapsed under it own weight," answered Roger. "That when I saw the creatures that you were talking about. Is that all? If so, I can leave?"
"No, that isn't all and because of that you can't leave. I would like to know why were you out there at that time," said the person.
"I was talking a wall, because there was nothing to do," answered Roger.
"Don't you watch TV or listen to the radio?" Asked the person.
"Excess me, what dose that have to do with me being at the warehouse? I tell you, it has nothing to do with it and because of that I won't answer your unless question," answered Roger.
"You little punk! You think that you have some money that you act all smug, like nothing can touch you, but I tell you it is time for a reality check. I tell you that I will make sure that everything will touch you," demanded the person.
"Maybe, I do have some money, but I tell you one thing, the money that you think that I have, will not change me. I know that anything and everything can touch me. I just don't like to answer questions that I think are unless and are a waste of our time," said Roger. "I told you everything that I know, it not my problem that you don't like what you are hearing, but I can tell you that what I am telling you right now is the truth."
"So you aren't going to answer that question?" Asked the person.
"Yes, you are right. I tell you the reason why, because what I do in my personal life is none of your business," answered Roger.
Dam it cursed the person to himself only. This is guy is good, to good to be your run of the mill person. He only is a former police officer, a former con, or a PI. He knew this because of the cold as ice determiner that he was giving to him right now, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't be able to crack this guy's though shell of his. It just meant that he would have to try to get him to crack via another way.
"You know those kids that we picked up with you…" started the person.
"Yeah, what about them," said Roger.
"All of them are under age, plus the fact that only one of them is a US citizen," he said.
"If you are going to make a point, I suggest that you make it now," said Roger.
"My point is that, all of the rest of them are in this country illegally with the fact that they are under age. I can file changes on you that you are trafficking in Slave Labor with the intent of the corruption of a minor and if you didn't know both of these offensives are serious Federal felonies," he said.
While this was the first time that he had heard of this type of crime, it wasn't the first time that he had heard of Slave Labor. He had seen before when he worked with the police, when they had broke up a major Slave Labor Crime Ring and it wasn't because it was something that serious threat to the well being of the children of the city. It was because one of the child victims that caught by this Salve Labor Crime Ring belong to a high ranking official that had unsavory dealing with people that would help him to kept his high paying job. It was this fact that had forced them to break up that Slave Ring. Roger knew that if it wasn't for that fact, the Ring would be still around with the stealing of children and sealing them to the highest buyer would be still around in the city doing that sick type of business.
"No, I didn't know that," said Roger.
"Well you do know, now if you don't start telling me the truth, I will make steps to make sure that you are changed with these crimes. I tell you one thing, if you are found guilty with this, you are going to be put away from a long time," the person told him.
"What do you want me to tell you? That was there because I planed a meeting with these creatures to destroyed that building, because I just felt like it," said Roger.
"Now you are playing me as a fool, aren't you?" Asked the person.
"No, I not, I telling you what I think you want me to say to make you happy," said Roger.
"No, that not what I want to hear from you! I want to hear the truth! I want to know what really happen there!" Shouted the man.
"If you want that, I suggest that you read your report again," said Roger.
"Stop telling me how to do my job!" He ordered and after that the man got up from the chair. With that he started to walk out of the room, with one thing on his mind, and this was that this person was only going to talk if he was threaten by something. That only thing that he thought would be able to threaten this guy was to show the paperwork of the charges that he had told him that he was under right now.
"It seems that the only thing that he you understand is force," he said. After that he walked out of the room.
Out of that room, the person that talked with Roger signed in disgust at what just happen. He had never meet anybody like this before, that was so cold as ice that could crack even under the hit of having changes being press on them. This guy was one piece of work.
"Having fun?" Asked another person, who was Stone.
"No, this guy is so smug, and do big of himself, that he thinks that nothing can hurt him. I will make sure that I will find something that will be able to hurt him," said the person.
Hearing that Stone, only knew one thing was about to happen, Clyde Seider, was going to do something major to this other person. Something that he wasn't doing with Marry Sanderous, it seemed to him that he had somebody that was completely different from the person that Clyde had. It seems that she wanted to help them in this, it seemed that she wasn't afraid to tell him the truth, no matter how far out it was, as long as it was the truth, it would be something that she would tell him.
Things were got more bizarre for Stone and this took the form of Marry's father, Jarvis Nelson, had came into the police station.
"Mr. Stone, I would like to speak with my daughter, Marry," said Nelson.
Stone just look at him.
