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?
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 that are ahead, 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.
T.K. still on his mission to see how the International Digidestined have fair has no clue that he is being watch by minions of both Alex and Daemon. This is just a ploy to distract the good guys from seeing their true purpose. While all of this is happening, Gennai enlist the aide of the four Digimon Guardians and their allies as well.
Additional Notes: Please take into accord, the four Digimon Guardians, Edonwumon, Zhuqiaomon, Azulongmon, and Baihumon were introduce in the 2nd season of Digimon despite the fact that the only Digimon Guardian that was showed was Azulongmon. Also with the Devas, I have a theory that they also around at the time of the 2nd season despite the fact that they won't introduce in the season. Plus, I think that the four Digimon Guardians' personalities are the same despite the two different seasons of the show.
Chapter 27 – Rescue! Save the International Digidestined: Part 2: The Plan
Inside of Roger's house, Angel that was still in her true form, which was Swanmon, explain what had happen. She explained that she had to flea from Alex's Glass Place because she mistakenly touched Daemon, and when that happen Daemon knew that she was a Digimon. Knowing that Daemon knew that she was a Digimon, she knew that he would tell him about that little secret about herself. She flea to this place, because it was the only place that she knew was a haven, a safe house despite the strain relationship that the these two have between each other. It was the only place that she knew where the people wouldn't judge her.
"That was a risk that you took," said Roger.
"I know, but it was the only place that I knew that was a safe place to go to," answered Angel. That I wouldn't risk exposing to the evils that are in this world she added to herself only.
Roger heard that and knew what Angel was talking about, but he chose to keep it between the two of them. This was because he respected Angel's privacy despite the fact that two of them didn't see eye to eye most of the time. It seems that was changing that in this time the two of them were becoming allies and that the role that she was playing, was just a muse to connived Alex that she was on his side. Now it seem that her cover was blow and this was the only that she knew that was a safe place that she could go to without risking the lives of others.
"That is true," said Marry.
"I just have one question, how can we still trust you with everything that you did in the past. I know that you did that because it was the only way to connive your former boss. You might be a Digimon, but that dose not means that I still can trust you," said Matt.
Swanmon knew that Matt was correct about her, she did things in the past that would make people question her true purpose of doing things. She knew that she did this because she was order to do so these things because she was undercover and while she didn't like the fact that she did these things, she knew that she had to do so.
"I help you," said Swanmon.
"Yes, we don't deny that fact, but how do we know that was just a plan to make us drop our guard down and then you betray us," said Matt.
"I won't do that because my cover was discovered when I touch Daemon and if I do something like that, where do I go, hum? I have nowhere to go. It wouldn't make sense that I would betray you," said Swanmon.
Matt didn't say anything to this, he just sat back and waited to see what Swanmon would do to them. She did help Roger in finding the sword, but that wasn't enough to connived Matt otherwise. He knew that she did to many evil things in the past that just that one thing wasn't good enough for him to think her as an ally and a person that was loyal to their cause. She had to do more good deeds to atone for what she had done in the past.
"I have seen things like that before," said Marry.
"Now you are getting on my case?" Asked Swanmon.
"No, I not. I am just stating a fact, that I have seen people betray to only ally and miss some great chances to help themselves out. Man, I have seen that constantly in pro sports and current events," answered Marry.
"I can safely assume that you know that all of the International Digidestined were captured by Alex?" Asked Swanmon.
"Yes, there was a piece of paper that was on the door that lead to the office that told us that they were capture, but it didn't say why or whom did it, but he know who it was from," said Roger.
"How do you know that?" Asked Kari.
"By this," he said and after that he put the only clue to the people that had kidnapped other Digidestined, on the table. That thing was the strange bladed knife that had held up the piece of paper that was on the hotel's door.
"Where do you get that?" Asked Kari.
"From the hotel's office door where the International Digidestined were at," answered Roger.
Marry was a little weary at this sight and this was because she knew that in her world doing something like this was a crime, a felony. In fact, since this was a kidnapping case, it would be a federal one. She didn't know if the same rules that apply in her world applied in this one and she knew that the only way to do something like that was to ask her question.
"You took that from that place. Do you know that is tempering with evidence? I don't how the laws work in your work, but I know for a fact that is a felony and it is even worst with the fact that this is dealing with a kidnapping. I know that is, in my world, is a federal crime and because of that what you did, again I stress that this in my world, would be a federal felony," said Marry.
"You forget that the police here are just a puppet, controlled by their master commands and our fight is outside of the law. Yes, that is a felony in this world, just like yours," said Roger.
"But this is side tracking us, I would like to know what is the importance of this knife?" Asked Tai.
With that Roger explain what was the importance of that knife and that it was the knife, which was mostly a symbol of their power, of the Paradigm Group. Hearing that everybody knew who kidnapped the International Digidestined and didn't need that bit of information to be repeated again for them. After that they wanted to know what was the reason behind this.
"If they took them, I would like to know why, why would them want to harm them?" Asked Kari.
"I don't think that he want to harm them, they are just bait," answered Roger.
"Then who is the bait?" Asked Davis.
"Idiot, who do you think? Me! He wants me, because I am the threat to his power and he knows that I won't just stand by a let children get hurt," answered Roger.
"You might be partially correct about your statement," said Swanmon.
"What do you mean?" Asked Roger.
"You know the Jewels that were token from Marry's world had some power to them," said Swanmon.
"That correct, before Daemon show up and acted big and bad, my friend that work there told me that under the microscope he saw something that look like a wires, something that you would see inside of a computer. But they didn't look like that they were man-made, they look like that they were living, made out of living tissue," said Marry.
"Like a living computer," said Swanmon.
"He didn't say that, but I think that what his point, but what was the theory that he told me?" Marry asked herself. She tried to reminder what her friend told her about these jewels.
"That they had the power to change flesh and blood into metal," said Swanmon.
With that, did the trick for Marry, for with that she knew that was the thing that her friend told her about. Now she wanted to know how did Swanmon know about this. She thought that it was something that only that small group of people knew about.
"Now do you know about that?" Asked Marry.
"Digimon Legends, speak of them that there were four of them, you have one, the Blue One and you know for a fact of the power that is contain with in it," said Swanmon.
"Yes, I know it can change Metal Nivernmon into Metal Nivernmon Battle Mode, no matter if she is her normal mode or her Fighter Mode…" she paused to let what she was about to say sink in. She knew that the Megadeuses were Digimon and that the Crystals that they tried so hard to kept out of the hands out of Alex had the power to change people into something, but that something she didn't know. Then she reach the realization, that he was using this as a way to distract them from his real goal and that was to change two people into living Gods, just like Roger was right now.
While Marry didn't said it aloud her body was doing all of the speaking for her.
"Yes," said Swanmon.
"Chris! That can't be true!" Said Izzy.
"Then, him kidnapping the International Digidestined, their Digimon, T.K., and his Digimon were just a façade, a front to distract us from the truth," said Tai.
"Correct," said Swanmon.
"If that is correct, then we should stop him from doing that," said Roger.
"You can't, because I think that if we stop him from doing that, he will kill all of them as an act of repayment," said Swanmon.
"It seems that we are stuck in a rock and a hard place, if we save the others, he will have the time to his plan, if we stop him from doing his plan he will kill our friends," said Kari.
"I tell you one thing, that if we don't do anything, who will stop him from doing both," said Roger.
"Then we should save our friends, we can deal with whatever Alex has for us. He wants us to save them, right?" Asked Tai.
"Yes," said Swanmon.
"Then it will be easy to save them, so the risk wouldn't be great, plus if we save them, we will outnumber him. So basically the odds will be in our favor," said Tai.
"Tai, yes, are you right about that, but what about the safely of our world, the Digital World, and this world. We can't just put our own agendas ahead of the safely of others. I know that the they will be killed, but I think they would gladly give-up their lives if it means the safely of three worlds," said Kari.
"That is the thought thing about being a hero, you have to make the hard choices," said Swanmon. "But whatever choice that you pick, I will support you."
"I say save our friends," said Tai.
"I go with my idol, Tai, go and save our friends," said Davis.
"I say go and stop Alex," said Kari.
"I am unsure about what do to do, so I will abstained," said Marry.
"This isn't the UN, Marry, you have to vote," said Mimi.
"I choice not to vote because I don't want either thing to go down, and if I pick one thing I know for a fact that something that I don't want to have happen will happen. I can't allow that," said Marry. "If you know the UN, some members do abstain from voting with certain things that require a vote. What is your vote?"
"I have to agree with Kari," said Mimi.
"I go with Tai," said Sora.
"Kari," said Matt.
"Tai, is correct, that we will have numbers in our favor, but Kari is also correct that the number of people is far more great than our friends. But, if we save our friends, we might have a chance and stopping Alex as well. So I go with Tai," said Izzy.
Joe remained quiet on this part and let his Digimon do his speaking for him and him told them all that he is just like Swanmon. He choice not to pick either thing but will support the choice that the majority picked no matter what it would be. So they considered Joe as a neutral party and his vote didn't count, unlike Marry's vote because she abstain and an abstain choice was counted in the favor of Tai's choice. So that Cody's vote would be the one that would be the one to make the choice in what they were about to do.
"I pick to go with Kari," said Cody.
"Deadlock," said Dorothy.
"You know what that means," said Marry.
"Yes, I know, that is my vote that will be the deciding vote," said Roger.
T.K. woke up from a force sleep and he found out two things, one the back of his head hurt and two he was in another place. T.K. didn't know what this place was, but he assume that was inside of the Paradigm's Headquarters, but where inside of that building that was a question that needed an answer. The other thing, the pain that was in the back of his head he knew what had caused that, he was hit in the back of the head and he knew who did that to him. It was the men that were in the car, which he was, force into when after he found out what had happen at the hotel.
Now, it was time for him to find out the details of what this place was. So T.K. got up from on his two legs and he found out that they were like Jell-O. He could stand on them never the fewer walks on them, but he knew that he had to, to find out what was this place was like. As he move to what he thought was the wall of this place, but he couldn't really tell if it was a wall and this was because of the thick blackness that was all around him. With the fact that his eyes weren't adjusted to the blackness it just made it harder for him to tell what was real and what was just a false viewing that was cause by his eyes. T.K. didn't know what was the reason behind this, the only thing that he knew was the fact that he was in a place that was totally dark and the only way that he could move in this place was his own senses.
As T.K.'s eyes adjusted to the new surrounding, he could see that the thick darkness that was around him was slowly fading away. With this gone he could see that room that he was in was a small cell who's walls and ceiling were made out of a black stone. T.K. took a look at his new surrounding and he could see that the black stones were wet, but there wasn't a chill in the air, but it still was cold. It was bearable for him, but he would of like to have something to cover up some of his bare skin.
With that gone he could see that was totally alone and without his Digimon partner, Patamon. Then he thought how was the little guy was doing in this place, he knew that Patamon could hold his own, but that didn't lessen the fact that he could be all by himself without him to talk to him about what they are going through. After thinking about Patamon he got thinking about how the International Digidestined and their Digimon were doing in this place. He had funny feeling that there were in the same type of place that he was in right now.
"Hello, is there anybody here?" Asked T.K.
The only response he got was the strange echo of his own voice asking the same question. He asked the same question and like before he got the same type of answer. It took him only two tries to figure out that he was in the place that was sound proof, so that if he was with the other, but only in different cells they wouldn't be able to hear him.
Then T.K. heard a sound, like a door opening up, but T.K. wondered where was this door. This was because it look like that there was no entrance or exit to this room. Seeing that he wonder how the heck did he get into this place and then he saw his answer. This happen when he saw a small section of the black stone wall started to lifted up and behind it he could see a white light. A light that was so bright that was blinding him so much that he had to put his hand over his eyes to try to protect his eyes from the light.
"What going on?" Asked T.K.
"You are in no spot to ask me question, but I will tell you one thing. You are here as bait, to draw out the prey," answered the person that was in the light.
"Prey, bait, what are you talking about. Who is the prey that you want?" Asked T.K.
"I think that you know the answer to that question," answered the person.
"No, you wouldn't," said T.K.
"Yes, I will, but that the true purpose of what I am doing," said the person.
"What?" Asked T.K.
"Do you think that I will tell you what I am about to do?" Asked the person. "If I did, then I wouldn't be the one that had you in my strong hold."
T.K. figure out that he was right about that one.
"Don't worry, your appearance in the great play is about to happen. I suggest that you wait a little longer. But don't worry your mirror role will vastly advance the plot," he said.
Hearing this, T.K. thought that it was one of the Dark Masters that they defeat years ago. "Piedmon, is that you?"
The person didn't answer the question and T.K. thought that this was an answer to his question that this person was indeed Piedmon,. Which was the Digimon that he thought that his Digimon defeated him when he open up the Gate of Destiny to suck him into whatever that gate would take him into.
"It is you, Piedmon!" Shouted T.K.
"I don't know who this Piedmon is, but I will tell you that I not him. You should take note that I find it disgusting that you can compare me to a Digimon. A creature that isn't flesh and blood, that dosen't bleed normal blood," said the person harshly.
"Okay, I am sorry about that one, but you talk just he would when dealing with plans. That everything to him was like a play and everybody had a role to play no matter how small it is," said T.K.
T.K. could see that person nodded their head at this comment, but T.K. could tell that even this wasn't enough to soften up this person.
"I thank you, for our little talk, but you should know that even with this, I am still going ahead with my plan," said the person.
After that the person walked away from the portal and when that happen the section of the black stone wall close behind him. Once again, T.K. found himself alone in the dark, just waiting for something to have happen to him like before. That was something that he didn't like to do, but he knew that he had to do this to find out what was about to have happen to him.
With that person gone, T.K. found himself wondering what would happen to him and rest of them. Thinking about that T.K.'s mind began to wonder from the most logical result to most unreasonable results. There was one thing that he was sure that they won't be killed while they were in there and that was because he knew that this person needed them alive up to the point of when he would set the trap to capture Roger.
"So this is how it is going to end? We aren't going to save this world, this world is going to stay like this no matter what," said T.K.
Now the only thing that he had to do was to wait until something happen in this place.
Up in the sky, Marry was on the back of her Armor-Level Digimon, Griffinmon flying through the air of this world. While this wasn't something that she wasn't uncomfortable with, for she had rode the back of Griffinmon tons of time. The was the fact that they were going to do a trade for the Golden Jewel for the others. She hopped that Alex would understand this and let them go, but she had funny feelings that his Glass Palace had security that was as thought as nails that wouldn't even let a current of air go through without the popular papers. That was the reason behind the white flag that she had tied around her arm that would show to these people that she wasn't hear to fight.
"I hope that they will understand this symbol," said Marry.
Griffinmon didn't say anything to this, the only thing that she did was to continue on her way toward the seat of power of Alex. They reach to the main doom of this place and even up in the sky she could see that the security was tight. With two rows of people, she couldn't tell if they were the police force or private security forces that were employed by Alex. Whatever they were, they were there to kept people out of that place. Seeing that Marry and Griffinmon knew that it was time for them to touch terra firma. They did that and they continue to walk on the street by foot but despite the fact that they were on firm ground, Marry felt a little uneasy walking in this place without any support. She knew that this was something that she had to do and it was that thing that she kept repeating in her head that kept her on the straight and narrow without turning the other way.
As the two of them way their way closer to the signal entrance slash exit to the main doom of this place. They could see that the security forces were starting to stir because of their appearance. Marry was expecting this to have happen and because of that she torn off her the piece of cloth that was wrapped around her arm. After that she started to wave it in the air and she knew that doing that in her world was a sign of surrender or you didn't want to fight. She didn't know in this world that would mean the same thing, she might as well be telling them that she was ready to fight them. It was a risk that she was talking right now, but it was a risk that she had to take.
"Look," said Griffinmon.
Marry tried but couldn't really make out the details of what was happen. The only thing that she did know was that something was happening because of what Marry was doing, but if it was for good or for ill that was something that she didn't know. What she did know was the fact that she was going to find out real soon
"What going on, Griffinmon, I don't have the eyes that you have. So tell me," said Marry.
"Sorry, I forgot about that one," said Griffinmon. "It seems that you little white flag trick got their attention. Somebody is coming, I suggest that you let them come to us."
Marry nodded her head at that. "Okay."
While Marry's voice was placid and without worry, it hid a fact that Marry was nothing like this. For she was nervous and worrying herself to drink. She didn't any clue that this plan that Roger had thought of would work. While she did have her Digimon as back up, that still didn't make her feel safe, she wished that she had another person with her, in backup, hiding from view. Roger would have none of this because he knew that Alex would figure that out and if that happen, their friend's lives would be at risk. Which was a risk that none of them would want to take, so the plan was hatch that she would be the one that would go into the "Belly of the Beast" with her Digimon as her only support. They said this because Marry was a person that Alex didn't know to much who wasn't a child, plus she had a Digimon that go to Mega if she needed her Digimon to go to that level. Marry didn't like this but she couldn't deny the fact that these traits that she had were correct.
"Halt," said a person.
Marry listened to that person, but kept her mouth shut and let this person do all of speaking. While it didn't look like it, but the two of them had the edge over them and that was something that she didn't want to give up, unless she had to.
"What are you doing here? Don't you know that this place is off limits to only permitted people and their guest?" Asked the person.
"Yes, I do," answered Marry.
"Then, I suggest that you leave this place and if you do, I will forget this and you don't have to worry about going into lock up," the person said.
This threat didn't shake Marry and this was because she was already in a police lock up before. She didn't take the threat lightly either for she knew the power that was behind this person, she knew that if Alex wanted her gone or even forgotten, he could do that and nobody would object to his action.
"If you do that, then you won't be able to heard the message that I was told to give your boss," said Marry.
"What message?" Asked the person.
"Here," said Marry. After that she produced a folded white piece of paper and after that she handed the piece of paper to him. "I suggest that you give this to your boss, not the boss that watches over you, the man at the head of everything. If you can't find somebody that can, this message dose not have the time to get bog down in Red Tape."
"If I do this, who should I call you?" Asked the person.
This caught her a little out guard and she was tempted to give out her real name and the name of her Digimon. This was something that she didn't want to do, but it seems that, that this was the only way to get herself out of this. She was about to do that, but then she figure something out, she didn't have to give out her name and the name of her Digimon.
"He should call me 'The Woman with the Real Life Griffin'," answered Marry. "Reminder that."
"I will," said the person. After that he walked in the other direction toward the only entrance of the main doom of this city. The two of them watched as he reached the end and when he did that he spoke to other one of the personal that were there.
"I think that it is time for us, to leave and report what just happen here," said Griffinmon.
"I think that you are correct about that," said Marry.
With that Marry got on the back of her Armor-Level Digimon and after that the two of them took to the skies of this world. When they did that, they knew that the only thing that they could do right now was head off in the direction of Roger's house and hope that the person that Marry give the piece of paper would do what she requested of him. She hopped that him would do that for them, but she feared that he wouldn't do that. No matter what outcome would happen, she knew that she had to get out of this place as fast as she could. Just like that the two of them did that and before nobody on the ground could react to their present up in the sky.
Neither of them took a look back at what was going on behind them, their only worry was what was a head of them. It was this fact that they didn't take a look back at what they were doing that they didn't see that their best hopes started to come true. The person that Marry had briefly spoke to be talking to his directed superior about what just happen there.
"What do you have there?" Asked his boss.
"I piece of paper that is meant for my boss, your boss, plus your boss's boss," answered the person.
"You mean, Carla?" He asked.
The other person just shook his head as his answer to that question. "No, not her, you know who I am talking about."
"No way," the second person said.
"Yes, I am serious about this. I don't know what is going on here, the only thing that I know right now is that this is my own job is about two years and I am making dam sure that I kept it," said the first person. "Because of that, I don't want to get into things that are way above my head. Will you do this?"
"Yes, I will forward to it to him," he said.
"No, that isn't good enough, she told me that this message is to important to get bog down in Red Tape. You must get this message to him as soon as you can, if it means that you have to go above your boss's head, then do it," he said.
"I can't do that, that is a volition of the chain of command that this place run by," he said. "If I do that, I might get fired as well. You don't understand what I am in right now, you might be a simple peon that might get away with this. Not me, I have a little higher spot that you and because of that I am looked with a little more powerful eye then you are. If I do this they might not trust me with the 'Chain of Command'," the second person pleaded.
The first person just put his hands up in the air in a sense of disgusted of what his superior was doing. He thought that he was a person that has a laze-faire toward rules and would let the people that are below him do what they wanted with the one exception, that was it didn't endanger their safely and the company that they worked for. Now it seems that thoughts about this person were wrong about him.
"I thought that you were not that type of person," he said. "It seems that I was wrong about you. You are like the other bosses that I had."
"No, I not like that," the second person said.
"Then, why aren't you doing what I asked of you," he said.
"Here we go again, I just can't because of what I am in right," he said.
"Then, if you don't do it, then I will," he said.
"No, you can't," the second person said.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because I will do it," he said.
With that his boss took the piece of paper that was still in his hand out of his hand and headed to the entrance that they were guarding. He knew that doing this, he would get fired because of it, but if his employee was correct about this woman, then it didn't matter. For the ends will justify the means.
In one of his many rooms, Alex and Daemon were looking on the screen that was on a close circuit TV, he saw what just happen at the entrance. He understood what just happen there and his people were correct in their actions of not harming the two of them. Daemon on the other hand couldn't stand the fact that they let two of their enemies just walk up to their front door. Then the two of them have a little chat between one of their men, give him something, they accepted it, then after that two of them just walk away from to head off to their home base, they did nothing to stop the two of them from doing that.
"I can't believe the fact that they let them go just like that without firing a signal shot at the two of them went their marry way," said Daemon.
"You have to understand something, there are times when force is require for what your want, and there are times when using the gentle hand is just as good for what you want. Right now, if we used force to get the answer we might have destroyed the answer," said Alex. "Do you understand that?"
Daemon signed in disgust at this, but he couldn't deny the fact that he was correct about this one. "Yes, I do understand this."
"Good," said Alex. "By the way, I think that are little Messager boy is coming here, I think that you should leave, you might scared him."
Daemon nodded his head at that and with that the Demon Lord type Digimon disappeared in the many shadows that were in this room. Alex always wonder were did he go when he did that, but he knew that Daemon would never tell him where he good or how he did that little trick. Even with that across him mind he knew that he was going to have a visitor coming to great him and that meant that he had to make this place as friendly as he could get despite the fact that this person was just a underlining. A person that didn't require this type of treatment, and normally he wouldn't even let this type of person this far, but it was because of what he had that allow him this type of treatment.
The door open up slowly, almost like the person that was doing that was a little wearily of entering this room, like a good student that was sent to the principle's office for the first time. Alex wasn't surprise by this, he had seen this numerous times before when a person would enter into this room for the first time and he like it. He like the fact that people were scared of him and this was because he forced people to respect him and pick their worlds correctly. This was because they knew that he had the power to destroy everything that they had created for themselves with just a snap of his fingers and if he didn't like them, he could even make them disappeared forever, nobody would even miss them. Even with all of that power that he had, he knew that he had to dress up the iron first with a pretty cloth, like a fine silk in a delightful color. So that meant that he had to treat this person like he was welcome into this place, despite the fact that he wasn't. With that thought across his mind he told the person to come him and don't be afraid of coming into this room.
"Thank you, Sir," the person said.
"You are welcome, it is a pleasure to see you. I would like to know why are you here?" Asked Alex despite the fact that already knew the reason behind this visit.
The person produced a small piece of white paper that was folded. "I was told to give this you."
"From who?" Asked Alex.
"She didn't give me her name, but she did give me a title," said the person.
"Then what is it, Sam?" Asked Alex.
Hearing his first name called out from Alex for the time caught Sam off guard a little, but he quickly recovered from this. "She said to called her by 'The woman with a Real Life Griffin.'"
This drawn the attention of Alex, he knew who this person was, it was the woman that was talking to one of Sam's employees, that was with the Digimon that look like that it was a Digimon. He had no clue what level this Digimon was at, but he had some clue what level this Digimon was because of the numerous armors that was on this Digimon's body. He thought that Digimon is an Armor-Level Digimon.
"Can you place the piece of paper down on my desk and after that can you please leave. I think you have more important things to do," said Alex.
Sam did what Alex told him to do not because it was an order, but because he could tell that Alex's hospitality was starting to wear off and the sooner that he got of this place the better. He knew that at least outside of this place he knew that he would be safe and around people that would welcome him. When he place the piece of paper on the desk, he left the room as fast as he could and outside of the room he signed in relief that he was out of that place. After that he got of the building as fast as he could. He didn't like the fact that he was in the halls of power, he was happy in the spot that he was currently in. He knew that there were some men that evenly with this taste of power was enough for them do everything that was in their power to achieve the rank that Alex had right now. Sam wasn't the type of person and that was because he had achieved everything that he wanted in his life, which was he had a good wife, a home, a family, and a decent job so that he could support them.
Back in the room, Alex took the folded white piece of paper from the spot that Sam had place it before he left this room. Alex closely looked at it and he could tell that nobody else expect the person that had wrote letter had look at this piece of paper. That was good because he knew that he was going to be the only one that would be reading the text that was written on this paper. Alex opens up the letter and he was correct that there was text and the color of the text was black. He started to read what was written on this thing and when he did he found that Roger wrote this. In the letter he found out that the Golden Jewel that they stole from the Digidestined's world was a fake one that Daemon got. This anger Alex, but he kept himself clam there was no sense of him in getting all work up over this and this was because it was something that already happen in the past, something that he knew that he couldn't change no matter how much he wanted to. The only thing that he knew that he had to do was to accept the fact. Alex did and so he moved on to the next paragraph and he did so. When he did that he found that one of them brought the real one with them when they returned back, he also found out that they knew that he had sent some of his men to kidnapped the International Digidestined as well. It was this fact that would allow him to get the Jewel that he wanted with one string, he had to give up the International Digidestined, their Digimon, T.K., and his Digimon as well, if he wanted the thing. Alex knew that this wasn't want he wanted to have happen, he wanted Roger and the others to come in a blaze of glory to try and rescue the others. It looks like that this wasn't going to have happen, but Alex didn't worry about this, he knew that plans changed over time. Even with that he knew that he had to adjust his plans to absorb this new wrinkle that came up.
So, Roger you are much cleverer foe then I realized. I thought you the foolish hero type that would risk his life to save others, but this proves me wrong. I salute you for using such a ingenious way to save them, but even with this, you won't get what you want thought Alex. Even with that, I will accept your offer.
With that Alex press one of his numerous buttons that was on his desk. When he did he open up an intercom between him and his new secretary. "Miss Brooke, I need you to call up on my messagers."
"Yes, Sir. Right always," said Brooke.
Up in the skies of this world, both Marry and Griffinmon were wondering did they do the right thing or even if that person that she spoke to did what they ask of him to do. There were to many unknowns in this and neither the two of them like that with the fact that so much was riding on this small thing.
"Do you think that we did the right thing?" Asked Marry.
"I don't know, but you did what you were told. The only thing that we have to do is wait until something happens," answered Griffinmon.
"I don't like doing that," said Marry.
"I know that you don't, but we have to do it," said Griffinmon.
"I know, I know, Griffinmon," said Marry.
With that the of them head off in the direction of Roger's house and while they were doing this, they were being watched by other. This other was the Deva known as Makuramon, the Monkey Deva. He just kept his mouth shut at what he was seeing here, the stories about this pair of human and Digimon were founded in fact. He knew like so many, high ranking Digimon, about the power that came from the two of them, how just two of them, without any help of backup, defeated Daemon's boss. He also knew that he was waiting for his time to take his revenge on her and her Digimon. He knew that meant that he wanted the two of them dead for what they did so many years ago. Makuramon watched the two of them disappeared in the distance and wonder was that the last time that he would see the two of them again. He just didn't know for sure, but he couldn't allow that to stop him from looking at this place to see if it was safe for the rest of his 11 other Brothers to enter into this world and help the Digidestined save all three worlds.
From what he was seeing right now, that this place wasn't safe for them, but it wasn't deadly, he knew that they could hold their own to protect themselves as well as protect their fellow kind. So he knew that it would only be a matter of time when he would give the word to Zhuqiaomon that would give the word to Azulongmon. When that happens he would be the one that would open up the gateway behind these worlds that would allow his brothers to enter into this world.
Marry and Griffinmon touched down on the roof top deck that was on top of Roger's house. When Griffinmon reach the roof top of the house Marry got off the back of her Digimon and as soon as that happen Griffinmon went back to her Rookie form of Nivernmon. The white winged baby blue dragon flew up and landed on the back of Marry.
She started to walk toward the sliding glass doors that would lead into one of the many rooms of Roger's house. She didn't know all of the details about this layout of his house and that was something that she didn't care to know. The only thing she need to know was to general layout of this place. So that meant she would know where to get something to eat when she was hungry, where go to bathroom when she needed to relive herself, and how to get out of this place the fastest way that was humanly possible. Even thing else was just a distraction that had to be avoided if she could.
As she walked into the room she found out that everybody greeted her at once and it felt like by hit by a tidal wave that was caused by an earthquake that measure a 10.0 on the Ritcher Scale. She knew that was a force that she couldn't stand for to long and if she didn't do anything to stop it she knew that she would be overwhelmed by it. That what she did, she put both of her hands up in the air to act like a barrier between her and everybody talking to her about what just had happen to her.
"One at a time!" She demanded.
Everybody listens to her and quieted their mouths.
"Good, now I can answer all of the questions that you might ask of me. Again, I state that I want one person at a time. You forget that I am human and being human I can only handle one person at a time," said Marry.
"I would like to know what happen?" Asked Tai.
"I went there, and I give the message to a person. Before you ask, no it wasn't him, I give it to somebody that told me that they would give it to a person that had the power to give it to Alex," answered Marry.
"Do you know for sure if the message got to him or not," said Roger.
"Yes, that is correct, but I did the best thing that I could. It wasn't like I could walk up to the entrance and demanded to see Alex just because I want to see in. I am not a person that just use my very own will to get something done," said Marry.
"That isn't good enough, you know that," said Matt.
"I know that! But what do you want me to do? The security at that place is so tight that I don't even think that air currents can get through it without the right kind of papers," said Marry. "With that type of security, how do you think that me and Griffinmon would fair if we went into that place."
Marry started to walk up to where Matt was located. "I tell you, how we would fair if we went up against something like that, we wouldn't get two feet past the gate entrance before we would be stop. Now, if you think that you can do better, than I suggest that you go and try it!"
After that turned her back on Matt and signed in disgust at what she just did. She knew that she did what she had to do with what she had and it seemed that none of them liked what she just did for them. It felt like she was the beast of burden for them, doing all of their work for them and not getting any of the credit that she felt like she deserved to get. At first she thought that it was something that would past, something that they would grow tired of it, but right now she thought wrong about that because they were still doing the same thing to her. She dealt with it because she thought that it would help them, but seem what they were doing here wasn't helping their cause, but bogging it down making it move at a crawl.
"Hey, guys, don't fight," said Tai.
"Why shouldn't we? It seems that we are getting nowhere and I think that the reason behind this is because of her," said Matt.
This caused Marry turned around and faces Matt for a second time. She had controlled her angered toward Matt to in the point where she talk to the other Digidestined in a more civil voice, but that didn't taken away from the fact that she was still mad at him for what he said about her action. "What?! I recall that you wanted me, because of my history, my battle experiences that I had," said Marry. "If don't know, I was the one that found out the reason why Alex and Daemon went to our world for the first time."
"It is strange how you seem to be at the center of all of the attacks that took place in our world," said Matt.
"I don't know that happen, it just happen. What is your point?" Asked Marry.
"His point is that he thinks that you are traitor that is hurting our cause, but I know for a fact that isn't so," said Roger.
"Hey! I told you to stay our of minds!" Shouted Matt.
"I didn't need to deep into mind to sense that, it is on the surface. It not like I tried to read your mind to pull that bit of information out of your head. I can't help the fact that I pick up on something that strong, it was like trying to ignore a huge gust of wind that comes out of nowhere. You can't help not to paid any attention to it," said Roger.
"That dose not lessen the fact that you went into my mind a place that I thought was a safe place that I could be myself and think whatever I want about anything. Your actions just prove me wrong," said Matt.
"Don't push me! Because I will push back and I don't want to do something that I might regret," said Roger.
"Excuses me, people. But the hour is late and I think that it is time for us to go to bed and rest," said Izzy.
Marry knew that Izzy was right about that. It was getting late and she was getting a little tired, because of that she knew that her temper was getting short and that everything and anything would have the power to set her off. She had no clue if the others would agree to it, but if they wanted to kept this place a safe place they would agree to Izzy's suggestion and rest for the night.
"I think that you should do what Izzy suggest," said Marry.
Roger dropped his stance on Matt and seeing that Matt did the same thing.
"You are correct about that one, Izzy. We should get some rest for the night," said Roger.
Matt did say anything to this he just did what the rest of the crowd did. Right now that meant that they would go and have some sleep. Before that they would get something to eat to full their stomach ups.
Dinner past without any problems as everybody ate their meals and after that everybody took turns getting their baths or showers. Then everybody went their assigned rooms in the house. While everybody was doing this, their thought center around how the others were doing this night all alone in a strange place having no clue if they were going to life or die. It was a feeling that none of them like to think about and they tried to not think about it, but they couldn't help the fact that their minds kept on returning back to them.
How long has it been? Asked T.K. to himself. How long has been since I have been in this dark pit of a prison. With no point of reference to tell him the time like a clock, or even daylight he had no clue how little or how much time has past him by since he was captured and put into this place. He wondered what hour of what day was it, T.K. assume that maybe a day has past him by and it might be in the afternoon part of the day.
Then T.K. found himself slowly slipping into sleep and then in the long run sleep won over the battle. While at least one thing, T.K. knew that this was a place that he could be free and see his surface world again. It might only be a dream, but at least it was something for him. It was something that he knew that might be able to kept him sane in this place that might drive a person insane.
Mary was having a hard time sleeping and she knew that it wasn't the bed that she was in, in fact the bed that she was sleeping in was one of the softest one that she had slept in before. The reason was the fact that she had too much on her mind right now that it was causing her trouble sleeping. One of the things that she was thinking about was how the others were fairing being in a unknown place surrounded by people that they didn't know and might even want to kill them. The other thing that she was thinking about was the thing that happen in her past that had caused her to break from her family in both name, and in present. She didn't understand why it was bothering her so much she thought that it was something that she had both behind her when she had met up with her father again. It seems that wasn't good enough for her body and mind to kept this from reappearing again. With this she knew that it wouldn't go away unless she talk to somebody about this, but whom? That was the question that she needed the answer to, but she knew that staying in this room talking about it and thinking about it wouldn't get the answer that she wanted. So she walked out of the room and headed down the halls of this place, then she thought that she might go for the kitchen and get something to drink, like water.
She walked to the kitchen and turned and one of the lights, it wasn't the brightest light, but it was a light that was good enough for her to see her way around the place. She could see the grandest of this room and it clearly stated the money that Roger had. This wasn't the first time that she had seen an extreme example of showing off money before, nor would it be the last time that she would see something like this before. Seeing this and knowing the fact that she was in the same place as this made her a little sick to her stomach. It was even sicker with the fact that she came from a family like this. Even with this she knew that she couldn't pay any attention to this if she wanted the drink of water and that what she did. She searched a little in the many cabinets to find a glass and after that she turned on the water. She fulls the glass up with the water and started to take a sip of the water that she had put into the glass. When she did she found out that the water tasted horrible when compare the water that she was use to drinking in her world. With that she couldn't image how the people in this world could even stomach something has horrible as this water was.
Man, this stuff is sick! Now can people drink this stuff and kept it down after they somehow managed to put down their throats thought Marry. I thought that New York City water was bad, but when compare to this stuff it is almost like Spring Water. Even with that she took yet another sip of the water and like before her body protested her action. She fought with her body to kept the stuff down her throat, but in the long run her body won out in the battle and she found herself looking for the sink because she felt like that her body was going to throw up the water. It did and as a result of that her mouth was full with the burning acid taste.
With this she wanted something with so favor in it, to remove this taste in her mouth like a soda, tea, or even a fruit juice. So she went into the refrigerator to see what was in there to drink and she found out that there wasn't anything that she thought was something to drink. The only thing that she found in there that she could drink where sprits and that was something that she didn't want to drink. Seeing this, she knew that this wasn't normal for a person from her world, yes they would have a bottle of wine on in a while, but this guy had about three different ones. She couldn't tell what they were or what year they were either.
She knew that Roger wasn't a normal human being, being born of a mother that was half-human, half-angel, a father that was half-demon, half-human. Having a mixed bloodline like that would screw up a person. Something like this? It didn't make sense, where were the normal drinks, like orange juice, ice tea, or even milk, drinks that most people would have in their refrigerator. Then she found something that look like apple juice, she took it out of the its place and she could see that there was a small amount of the liquid and seeing that Marry thought that would be good enough to remove this burning taste in her mouth. So she took the bottle and pours the liquid into her glass, after that she took a sip of this liquid. With that she found out that she was correct about this liquid it was apple juice and it also remove the burning taste that was in her mouth that was caused by her throwing up. Unlike before she didn't throw up this time and she knew the reason behind this, this liquid tasted like apple juice that she was used to drinking in her world.
With that gone she was about to leave and head back to bed. She was stopped in her tracks by the appearance of Roger. It seemed that he also had the same type of idea that she had, which was to get something to drink that might help them sleep the rest of the night away.
"It seems that the of us had the same idea," said Roger.
"Yes," struggled Marry to get out. She wasn't expecting him to show up like this and the sock of surprise that was all over her face. "I wasn't expecting to see you at this hour."
"I could say the same thing about your," he paused to take a look at what Marry was doing. "It look like that you have help yourself to something to drink."
Chagrin, was the feeling that Marry was feeling right now and the only thing that she could do right now was to try to hide the fact that she did something like that. That meant that she had to put the jar on the table and try to distance herself away from the thing as fast as she could.
"Don't, I wouldn't be a good host if I didn't offer other things beside the food and drink that I have been giving to you while your eating your dinner. Anyway nobody was drinking that stuff before you show up," said Roger.
Hearing that Marry was happy that she didn't do anything that would embarrassed him. She knew that she had done things like that before many times and it was things that she thought wouldn't do it.
He went to the refrigerator and pull out one of the wine bottle that was in there. "Do you want any?"
Marry put her hand up. "No, I don't drink."
Roger didn't say anything to that and pour himself a glass of the wine. "You don't know what you are missing."
"Yes, I do know what I am missing," said Marry curtly.
The way that Marry said that caught Roger a little off guard, it seems to him that he had touch on something very personal about her. Something that seem to be eating at her, something that he felt needed to be brought to the surface if she wanted to continue with her life.
"What do you mean?" Asked Roger.
"You want to know what I am mean, I don't miss getting into a drunken range hitting and yelling at people that are my friends. Denying the fact that I had a drinking problem. People that when I am sober wouldn't even think about doing. Did you know that I am recovering alcoholic? Because of that I can't drink even a signal alcoholic drink, if I do everything that I work over the past years will be over just like that," answered Marry and after that she snapped her fingers.
"I didn't know that about you," said Roger.
"It is something that I don't normally talk about to people that I just meet. I only tell to people that I trust or people that I know really good," said Marry.
"My I ask what made you like that?" Asked Roger.
Marry didn't like the fact that he was asking this question about her personal life. An event that happen to her life that was so emotional scarring that she didn't even talk about to her Digimon. She knew that it was time that she told to a person, to tell it to somebody else to get this thing off of her chest. She knew that it was something that she didn't want to tell him about because of so much emotional baggage that came with it, but she also knew that if she did tell him about this that this weight that was on her would be lifted from her. She weighted pros and cons with this and she made the choice that she would tell him about what had happen to her.
"As you know that I came from a rich family, so much rich that they gain influence in the local government. It was this little fact that came into play with what happen to my late brother. He rapped a woman and the woman that he did to dead to pick him out of a lineup. As you can think this was a big time news story that all of the local networks carry it. It was going to be a big time trial and would of gotten pick up by the Court TV network, but this never happen," Marry paused to emotional stable herself and let what she just said to her Roger sink into him.
Marry looked at his face and she couldn't see any changes on this man. She guess this was because of the type of job that he had, because if he did show emotion it would be a sign of weakness to the people that he worked with. Even with that she guess that it had some impact on him despite the fact that he was showing no sign of it.
"Why? What happen to prevent something like that from happening to your brother?" Asked Roger.
"Well, my father used his influence to convince the local court system to drop all of the changes on him. With the woman, she was given a pretty nice sum of money to keep her mouth quiet about the entire affair. Now both my brother and me didn't like this fact, but the two of us reacted in to different ways. My brother killed himself, stating that he couldn't live with the fact that he did something to horrible to another living person without paying the price for it. Me on the other hand became numb to the fact and I felt like I was dead. That the only way that I could feel like I was alive was to move out of that house and move to one of my relatives that lived up in New York City. Up there I started drink and to drink, this was because at least when I drank I felt like I was alive. My drinking problem was so bad that I beat up my cousin so bad that I put him into a hospital for two weeks. When that happen I my aunt and uncle put me into AAA, that is a support group to help people like me with the type of problem that I had," answered Marry. "I was in there for almost six mouths and after that I have been sober ever since. That is a part of my life that I don't want to relive again, which is the reason why I try my hardest to avoid drinking at all cost. If that means turning down parties, I will do that and I will try as hard as I can to not go into bar or any other place where there is drinking. Can you understand that?"
Roger didn't answer her question, but it seem that her story seem to hit him in the right spot. "Yes, I can understand that and I have a funny feeling that was the reason why you couldn't sleep. I have a funny feeling that this thing that you went through in your life was eating away at you, preventing your from having a good night sleep."
He right about that, that was the thing that kept me from sleeping thought Marry. She knew that Roger could read her thoughts and hear just what she just thought about. Right now she didn't care and that was because she had just lay her soul out on the floor to him, revealed her darkest part of her life. It felt like she had striped down to nothing and her naked body was being looked at everybody. It was humiliating to her, but it also was a great sense of exhilaration. That she had she had given up all of her false garments that was on her body relieving the truth about herself, that she had nothing to hide anymore. That she should be judge only on that.
Roger put the glass down and Marry could see that he had only touch the liquid that was inside of it. Seeing that Marry could guess that her story did have an impact on him and she didn't know if it was for good or for ill. The only thing that she knew was that something was about to have happen to her. The feeling that she got from it was a feeling of something that was very profound. It felt like the hairs on the back of her neck was standing up and after that she got another feeling almost like time had stopped just for the two of them. This feeling scared her a little for she didn't know what was about to have happen to her.
Don't be afraid, I am here thought a voice.
Who are you? Marry metal asked.
I think that who know who I am, listen to my voice thought the voice again.
With that Marry recognized the voice that speaking to her via her thoughts. It was Roger's voice that was doing all talking to her in her mind. With this she wanted to know the reason behind it.
Why asked Marry.
Because I can feel all of the pain that is inside of you because of this thing, that this thing that you went through has lily influenced your life. With this, I can sense that the pain that you have been through has been lifted from your soul. I also feel that telling me this has helped you one step in putting this thing behind you. But I don't know for sure what will happen to you after this, you are on a road where the end is unknown. Thought Roger to Marry.What will happen to me? Asked Marry.
"I don't know," said Roger. "But, what I do know is that the pain that has been attached to this thing is gone from you."
"If that is so, then what then we should do now," said Marry.
"I think that you should go to bed and I think that you will be able to go to sleep without a problem," said Roger.
Marry listen to him and with that she returned back to her bed. Still with a maelstrom of emotions of what just had happen to her. Even with that she knew that she had to return to bed to get some more hours of sleep and she found out that she didn't have a hard time sleeping like before.
Night had turned into day and everybody got up at his or her own time. After everybody was up everybody had his or her favorite breakfast meal. When that the Western and Eastern Cultures were seen on the table and everybody tried a little bit of each other meal. Some of the meals were good for somebody and while other people found some of the meals very not to their liking. Even with this everybody finished their meals in peace and after meals it was time for them to think about what they were going to do today.
"So what the plan?" Asked Davis.
"To put it honestly, I really don't know for sure. We still have to wait to see if Roger's message got to Alex or not," answered Marry.
"That is true," said Nivernmon.
"If I know Alex, he won't wait to long to give us our answer. There is no thing that Alex is famous for is giving an answer to something. If is favorable for you or for him that is another matter all together," said Roger.
"Great," said Tai.
"I have to say the same thing, I don't like the fact that we will have to wait for him to do something. It not like there is something to force him to response to Roger's little letter, like how the President of United State has," said Mimi.
"I can see that an American Education has be schooling you the ways of our country," said Marry.
Mimi nodded her head in agreement at what Marry just said to her.
With that a thought went across Marry's mind. She knew that the government of the United State had three branches to it, one that whom job was to enforce the laws, another one's whom job was to make the laws, and while the third one was to carry out the laws. From everything that she seen here and heard about Alex and the group that he head of suggest to her that the government that ran this city was like a directorship, with one person ruling and controlling everything that was in sight.
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Roger.
"It the government of the United States, we have a President who multiple duties that comes with the job. One of them is that he must review all bills that had been past by the Senate, he has two options, one he can sign the bill, thus making it a law or he can veto it. The only problem is that the President must do this in about 14 days or he dose not, the bill will become a law," answered Marry.
"Why?" Asked Roger.
"It one of the many Checks and Balances that were built into the United State's system of government, so that no one branch of the government would take compete control of the government. Our government was made like this because of what happen when the United States was a colony of England, under the rule of the King. Since he had nobody to watch over him, he could do anything that he wanted and I think that this is what is going on with Alex. He had nobody to watch him at what he is doing," answered Marry.
"Your point is?" Asked Roger.
"Here point is, that if Alex had some kind of deadline that he had to meet with this thing he would find a way to answer us. That one thing about people when they have a deadline to meet they will get a job or jobs done and since Alex dose not have any thing like that on him, who knows when or even if he will give us an answer," said Izzy.
"If Alex wants real Golden Jewel he will answer us," said Ken.
"The only question is not if but how and when," said Sora.
"That the thing that scares me," said Cody.
Only if they knew thought Roger. For he knew first hand the power that Alex wheeled in this place. He had the power to make a person disappeared from this city all together and also make sure that everybody that one person knew wouldn't reminder them again. To simply make them disappeared without a trace
Sam Pearl, a man that was in his 30's was driving a car through the streets of this city and he was hoping that he was following the directions that where given to him. He was told that these directions where some of the best that any person could give and because of that he took them in. Now reading them he found them to be completely unless because almost all of the streets in this area of the city were about the same with no real different between the two of them. With that fact he realized that he was now lost in this part of the city with no way in getting out of this place. The only good thing about this was the fact that he was traveling in this city during the daytime rather than at night. That meant that he would have an extra light source that would able him to see more details of this city rather than at night, where his viewing would be cut down dramatically. Even with that aide to him, he still had no clue where he was.
He turned down another street with the thought that he nothing to lose at what he was doing. When he did that he found out that the street that he had turned down was the street that he was looking for. He knew this because of the huge tower like building that dominated the majority of the horizon. Seeing that he knew that was the home of Roger Smith and with that it would be only a matter of time before he would be at his doorstep. Getting into that place was another story all together. He like so many others that yes, Roger was a hospitable person that would let a good majority of people into his house, but there were just a few people that he wouldn't allow inside of his house. Sam, hope that he wasn't one of those people and he knew that he only way that he would fine that out was to walk up to front door to ring his doorbell.
That what he did he heard the doorbell of this grand tower-like house had a normal chine to it. To him what seem to take forever, there was what sounded be like an answer from this house, and that sound was a door opening up from the inside. After that the front door started to open up and when he could see the person that was doing that action he could see that it wasn't Roger did that duty it was somebody else that was given that task. He could see that this person was a older person that had seen his fair share of scrapes in his life time and Sam could tell this due the fact that he was wearing an eye patch over one of his eyes.
"Yes, can I help you," said the person in an English Accent.
"Yes, I would like to see a Mr. Smith, I have something that I think is very important to him," said Sam in a now very business style voice.
"Can I ask who you are?" Asked Norman.
"Yes, I am Sam Pearl, I am Messager that was given the duty to give Mr. Smith a message that I think is very important to him," said Sam. "Can you relay this information to him."
"Yes, I can do that, but I think that you should do that," said Norman.
"No, there are other places that I have to be," said Sam. After that Sam produced a folded piece of white paper. Then he handed the piece of paper to the older man.
"Then I suggest that you go and head to their places that you have to be," said Norman.
"Yes," said Sam.
With that Sam and Norman parted their ways. With Sam that meant that he would head off in the other jobs that he had to do and for Norman it mean heading back to Roger to give him this piece of paper that was just handed to him. Norman dare not open up the piece of paper for it was not his business.
Roger's enhanced hearing picked up the sound of the elevator coming up before anybody else notice it. Not expecting anybody to come and visit him at this hour the only thing that he could was to prepare himself and the other for anything that might come out of the door. He didn't say anything to them, but it wasn't required and this was because everybody seems to understand what was going on.
When everybody was prepare for the unexpected visitor Roger braced himself for the worst that could possibly come out of that door. While he was bracing himself for the visitor, something was happening in one of his hands and at first Roger didn't notice it. Then he did notice it and he couldn't believe what was going on here, he was building up some type of energy ball in his hand and he didn't know why his body was reacting like this. The only thing that he hoped that he didn't hurt somebody that was an ally to him and he knew that this thing was a side effect of the merging that he went through. He wasn't expecting something like this to have happen and seeing this he was a little afraid of what he could do to somebody without knowing of what he did to them.
As the door started to up open, Roger could feel the energy that was coming from the ball that was in his hand start to get stronger by the moment. Then when he saw that it was Norman that had open up the elevator door, a person that he knew was a person that was on his side, the present of the energy that was coming from that ball went away from his hand. When that happen he felt like he was relieved that he didn't have to use the power that was coming from that thing. He could only image what would happen if he did unleash the power that was in that thing on a living being.
"Norman, what are you doing here?" Asked Roger that showed no sign of the fear that he felt only moments ago.
"I have something from a person who job seems to be a Messager and he told me that he had something that is very important to you," answered Norman.
"What is it?" Asked Roger.
"This," he answer. After that he give him a piece of white paper that was folded.
Roger took it and after that Norman seems to disappear into the woodwork. Roger noticed that the piece of paper that he had in his hand was very similar to the piece of paper that he gave to Marry to give to Alex. He also noticed that it also was folded in the same fashion. Seeing this, he knew that this was the answer that he was excepting to get from Alex. So he opens up the piece of paper and he found out that he was correct about his guess about the thing. It was indeed the answer from Alex about their plan. Now the only thing to do right now was to tell everybody about it.
"You guys can stand down, it is nothing to worry about," said Roger.
Everybody did that and they all found out that Roger was right about his statement. There was nobody in this place that threaten them.
"So what is that?" Asked Davis.
"It seems that I was correct about Alex, he did give us the answer," said Roger.
"Which is?" Asked Ken.
"He want it and it seems that he will agree to our terms," answered Roger.
"That was fast," said Marry. "Because of that I don't like it. You know just like me, that Alex isn't an idiot, he has an ace up his shelve."
"She is right," said Kari. "Why else would he agree to this?"
"Or he is so worry that he won't be able to do his plan that he will do about anything to get that thing," said Izzy.
"Whatever the reason behind this answer, I think that we should take him up on his offer, but we will do it my way," said Roger.
With that everybody knew what he was talking about. This meant that Roger would walk into this, but not with backup to help him it the deal when sour. That meant that there would be a couple of Digimon in the wings waiting for the word to react when the word would be given. Even with this both Marry and Kari where worry about this deal, that there was more to this than just him saying yes to their deal and their terms.
Outside of the tower-like house, Sam was busy heading to his car when a strange looking kid that seems to hang around him stopped him. Seeing this kid freak out Sam so much that he wanted to get away from this kid as fast as he could. That what he did, but the faster he ran toward his car to faster this kid seem to go and not wanting to bring this kid along with him Sam ran in another direction away from his car. Just like before this kid follow him and this chase between the two of them seem to cross the many alleys until the point where Sam tricked this kid to go ahead of him. When that happens Sam forced this kid into a dead end.
Makuramon couldn't believe what just had happen to him, he got tricked by a human. He could image what his Sovereign would say to him because of this. He knew that it would be on the lines that he had embarrassed him because of this.
"Okay, what the deal?" Asked Sam.
Makuramon said nothing to this question.
"Is that it, you are going to be quiet," said Sam. "That dose not affect me. But I would like to know what the hell are you doing around my car?!"
"Nothing, I was just looking around the strange thing. Is that what you call it, a car," said Makuramon. "Very interesting."
Man, what the deal with this kid? It feels like he from another place or he has been under a rock for all of his life not to know what a car is thought Sam. "Okay," paused Sam. "But that dose not answer my question what are doing here?"
"As I said before, I was just looking around, taking in the sights," answered Makuramon.
Sam couldn't believe what he was hearing from the mouth of this kid. It seems like this was the first time that he was in this place, but that couldn't be correct and that was because of the age that he was, he had to be born in this city or someplace around it. Or maybe he was just acting like this to throw him off, but whatever the reason behind his actions, this kid was acting strangely and the more that Sam probed into him the bizarre the reason became. They were getting to the point that Sam didn't want to go into any further so without saying another word to him, he took off to his car not worry about if this person would follow him throughout this city. It just didn't matter right now, the only thing that did matter was the fact that he was away from this kid. The quicker that he did that the better and it also meant that he would have more distance between the two of them.
When he thought that he put a safe distance between the two of them he signed in relief, he was happy that he didn't have to see that person again. The way that he sounded, like a female voice that was coming out of boy's body and the way that he look like it. He look like that he was a wooden puppet that was granted life by some inhuman force, like something out of bed time fairy tale that he head when he was child living in an apartment. He forgot the name of the story and now it went. The thing that he did reminder was the fact that it had some puppet that was brought to life when some type of inhuman force, because the reasons behind that action was something else he didn't know.
The only thing to do right now was to head back to HQ and tell somebody that would tell Alex that he sent the message to Roger. He didn't know if he should tell that person about the little boy that he meet up after he gives Roger the message. He felt like that it was something that he shouldn't know about.
"Okay, then," said Roger. "That is the plan."
Everybody nodded their heads.
"Reminder, everybody has their parts and don't jump the gun unless the word is given to you to do so. I don't want to spoke Alex into doing something that might hurt our friends," said Roger.
Again everybody agree to this.
"All right then, let's go," said Roger.
Alex got the news that one of his many Messagers give Roger the message that contained his answer to his deal. He knew that it would only be a matter of time when Roger would be making his appearance at his front door. He knew that Roger was a crafty person that seem to always have an escape route when things went sour, but what was it is? That was the question that had to be answer. That didn't matter right now because his plans that were almost staled with the news that what he thought was one of the real Jewels, was a fake one, now how new life.
"Daemon," said Alex.
Seconds after that Daemon appeared out of nowhere.
"Make sure that the Red One falls into the hands of the other Megadeus pilot," said Alex.
Daemon nodded his head at that order and after that he disappeared into nothing.
"And so it being," said Alex.
