[b]Author's Note:[/b]
Hmmm... you may want to avoid this chapter due to sexual content. Or if you
just don't want to read that part, skip down until you see the second scene
divider line, that should be past it. The first scene is clean though.
Basically, first scene: good. Second scene: bad. Third scene and beyond:
good. If you haven't got it yet, I'll hire a gang of mobsters to slap you.
Also, we'll continue to develop the characters in this story arc, diving
away from the action-packed theme of the first one.
[b]Previously:[/b] Lee was forced to fight Desiree and James all by himself, and was defeated by the newly evolved Infermon and SkullSatamon. Desiree then explained that the Shadow are eating out the core of all the systems, and it's her fault for condemning them by stealing their warriors. Not to be stopped by the Chosen, SkullSatamon evolved into Beelzemon and took them all out with a single blast! Afterwards, Alex decided to spend the night at Lee's place...
[b]Heroes No More, Chapter Nineteen: Secret of the Drugs[/b]
------------------------------- An apartment on the scummy side of town...
There is knocking heard on a door. No answer. More knocking. No answer. Loud smashing and kicking. No answer.
"Ace, you aren't going to be able to kick your own door down.", said Arik's voice from the other side of the door. "What the hell are the other people living here going to think?"
"I don't care what they think!", shouted Ace. There was another crash on the door, then a loud 'thump' noise.
"Is he ok?", asked DemiTyrannomon.
"Ack! He landed on me!", groaned Bouncemon.
"I'll just pick the lock...", sighed Arik. Short moments later, the door was open and Arik walked into the apartment, followed by DemiTyrannomon, Ace and Bouncemon. The apartment was a mess. Beer cans everywhere, dirty dishes piled in the sink, couch cushions all over the place... among other... pleasant surprises.
"Is that a squirrel?", asked Arik.
"Probably.", muttered Ace, kicking his shoes off. Arik looked at him.
"I can't believe your own parents would lock you out.", he commented. Ace muttered something to himself, but Arik failed to pick it up. He sighed and moved to clean up a bit. Bouncemon and DemiTyrannomon ran upstairs to play Ace's Gamecube. There were sounds of a scuffle over who would be first player. Arik, holding beer cans, gave Ace a glance.
"You never should've taught them to play that.", he said. Ace continued not answering him and staring at the floor.
"What's up, man?", asked Arik, again attempting to get Ace's attention once again.
"Arik... it's like my parents don't even realize I exist! I see them, like once a week! I come home from school, and there's a little note that says 'food in the cupboard, honey. Be home late.' And then when they do get home, I'm either in bed or fell asleep trying to stay up waiting for them!"
"My household isn't anything like that...", muttered Arik. "But you've told me these stories before and I've slept over here eight dozen times. Why are you so worried now?"
"It's just... I... I feel like no one loves me...", sighed Ace, almost crying. Arik dropped the garbage bag on the floor and walked over to Ace, and kicked the door shut.
"I love ya, buddy. Errr... but not in that way.", said Arik.
"Sure, sure. Ya homo.", replied Ace.
"Hah. hah.", muttered Arik. "Wanna go play Cube?"
"Nah..."
"Nah!? Something is wrong with you then!"
------------------------------ Lee's Apartment:
"Mom, we're home!", announced Lee, opening the door. Mikemon and Kokuwamon quickly ran to the first door on the right, which was Lee's bedroom, before Jenna walked in and saw them.
"Mom!!! Lee's back! And he brought the big-boobie girl!", shouted Jenna, in her blonde little high-pitched voice. Alex slapped her forehead.
"Speaks before thinks, remember?", asked Lee.
"If she was my age, I'd slap the hell outta her...", muttered Alex, continuing to let her hand cover her face. Lee's mother stepped around the corner, and the expression on her elderly face was priceless when she saw Alex with Lee.
"Lee Trainer! You know it's eleven PM!", scolded his mother. "You can't be bringing strange girls over this--"
"She's not a strange girl!", argued Lee. "Her name is Alex and she's been my girlfriend for about a week now!"
"Girlfriend?!", exclaimed his mother. "Whatever happened to Allison?"
"Uh... she died.", lied Lee.
"But I just saw her this morning..."
"Yeah. She just died.", said Lee. Alex punched him in the arm, but he didn't care. His mom gave him an odd look then threw her arms up in defeat.
"Whatever. There's no arguing with you when you get like this! Go to your room, and stay there!", shouted his mom, before turning the corner. Jenna stuck her tongue out and then followed her mother. Alex shrugged and walked into Lee's room. Lee turned to go into it, but was halted by a deep male voice.
"Lee. Good to see you, son.", said his father, walking over to Lee. His father wasn't wearing his mayoral suit anymore, and was just dressed in a pair of casual pajamas.
[i]Dad's home? I wonder what he wants...[/i]
"Look, son. I know work keeps me busy alot, but I want you and me to spend some time together tomorrow. There's a... pressing matter we need to talk about. Something called Digimon.", said his father.
[i]HOLY SH--!!! Ok, ok, calm down... he's probly just gonna warn me not to go out too late or something...[/i] Lee forced a smile onto his face. "Ok, dad! Uh, good night!"
"Good night, son."
Lee turned and walked into his room, slamming the door behind him. Alex was on the bed, being pinned by Mikemon and Kokuwamon.
"They got me.", groaned Alex, half-laughing. "Hey, what's with the look of distress? Ya got ME on your bed, remember?"
"My father... I think he knows about the Digimon...", groaned Lee, leaning back against his door.
"Isn't your dad the--"
"Mayor! The mayor who ordered the Digimon hunt! Remember?!", asked Lee, half-shouting out of his frustration. "That's why we have to wear these stupid masks Earnest gave us!"
"I know that...", muttered Alex. Kokuwamon and Mikemon leapt off Alex.
"Are we going to have to leave?", asked Kokuwamon. Lee bent down and looked at him.
"I'm not sure, little buddy. But you and Mikemon should head into the closet in case my dad or Jenna comes in. You can sleep on the pile of clothes, and we'll let you out in the morning."
"Kay. Night Alex!", said Mikemon, before throwing Kokuwamon into the closet. Giggling, she leapt in herself. Lee slammed the closet door and sighed.
"If we lose our partners I don't know what we'll do... Desiree grows more powerful by the minute...", muttered Lee. Alex gave him a sarcastic look.
"That's what you're thinking about right now?!", she asked.
"Yeah... I just can't get my mind off it...", he said. Alex pulled him onto the bed.
"Well... I'll get your mind off it...", she said, seductively. She grabbed Lee and kissed him. Hesitant for a moment, he kissed back after. She pulled away and smiled. He finally caught on and pushed her down onto his bed and kissed her again.
"So...", he said, cautiously. "...is this as far as you go...?"
Alex grabbed Lee's hand a placed it on her left breast, making sure he got a firm hold of it.
"Guess.", she replied.
Having all the incentive he needed, Lee reached his other hand up Alex's back and undid her bra, then slipped both her shirt and bra off. She had a dirty little grin on her face as he began to massage her breasts. She reached down and began to undo his pants. He kissed her again while still massaging her boobs, but then she looked up at him with a look of worry on her face.
"You got a cond--"
"Yup."
---------------------------- Earnest's Cabin, about 12:00 Am:
Earnest and Leila finally got home. Earnest opened the door and walked in, taking off his shoes and pulling off his mask. He then began to relax his feet on the soft carpet. He took off his deer skin jacket and went into the kitchen to fix himself a drink. Leila, though seemingly distracted, followed him.
"Ok, Leila. I can tell when you're keeping something from me...", said Earnest, pouring himself a cup of coffee. He didn't look at her, but he knew she had a look of stress on her furry face.
"I- I don't know what you're talking about... Earnest...", she protested. "It's late, I should go to bed..."
"No. You've avoided this long enough.", said Earnest. He turned around and began to sip from his coffee.
"Uhh... how did you make that coffee so fast?", asked Leila, confused. Earnest looked at his cup.
"...I have no idea.", he said, bewildered. "Hey, don't change the subject!"
"Alright... alright... you want to know my big secret, Earnest?", asked Leila.
"Yes."
"You want the truth?"
"Yes."
"You can't handle the truth!"
"Yes I can."
"I derive your truth-handling skills! No truth-handler, you!", shouted Leila, pointing at him. Earnest gave her a look that told her to stop acting silly. She sighed.
"Earnest... I'm one of the seven Server guardians... in a new form...", she admitted. Earnest almost spat out his coffee.
"You're a what!?", he shouted.
"See? I told you that you couldn't handle the truth."
"I can handle it... it was just shocking...", he said. Leila decided to go on.
"You've heard the short version of this from Lee, him being told by another of the seven guardians, who is now Desiree's laptop. Which is an odd choice of a form, but she must have a plan...", explained Leila. "You see... once the Shadow defeated us, we were destroyed. But our spirits survived and each of us took a new form in each Server. I am the guardian of our Server, Megabyte Server. The laptop is the guardian of the Desolate Server."
"Well... if you're Guardians... then why don't you prevent the Shadow from destroying all these worlds?!", asked Earnest.
"We can't! Not until all seven of us are together can we unleash our full potential!", she told him. "We must go to the other Servers and find the other five Guardians!"
"Uh... but we'd have no idea how to navigate the other Servers..."
"I know that. But I've been thinking up a plan... if we can free the Chosen that we have sent to the Desolate Server, they may repay the favor by guiding us to their Servers, so that we may find the other Guardians... who have probably taken new forms as well."
"That's a brilliant plan, Leila! Tomorrow we'll have to get in touch with Kevin and see what he found on Izzy's laptop files...", suggested Earnest.
"Actually Earnest... it IS tomorrow.", said Leila. Earnest looked at the clock, it read 12:33 Am.
"I think we should go to bed."
--------------------------- An armory on the west side of town:
Desiree and Impy ran up to the front gate of the armory and peered inside. It was heavily guarded by many soldiers and electrical fences and such. Even tanks. She grumbled and stomped her foot on the ground.
"Damn! I knew they'd step up their defense after Chris and the others attacked it last week!", she cursed.
"Then why did we come here?", asked Impmon.
"Because Impmon. I need a special alloy found here to make more of my dark necklaces."
"But... you were just putting the needles into regular pearls...", protested Impmon. "Why do we suddenly need some alloy?"
"Because, it'll will hold and channel the drugs better, making my servants much more obedient.", said Desiree. She sighed and opened up the laptop. "I need some help. Scan me Amaterasu Server and Kiriban Server combined."
{ACKNOWLEDGED)
{SCAN COMPLETE. REMAINING CHOSEN ARE: - Kitagawa, Kenta - Katou, Jeri - Wong, Suzie - Akiyama, Ryo - Sarah - Sethakage
"Hmmm... give me Kenta and Sarah, promptly."
{...YES, DESIREE.}
Two children materialized from the laptop in front of Desiree. One was a small, scrawny boy with big glasses and wearing a T-shirt and shorts. Not too great for this weather, since it was snowing out. The second was a taller girl, with long purple hair. She was wearing clothing best suited for this weather. Before either of them had a chance to react, they were both fitted with Alloy Necklaces.
"Let's see if the test ones work...", said Desiree, curiously. Kenta and Sarah both shivered intensely, and then finally came to a stop. When they looked at Desiree, their eyes were glowing with dark energy.
"Perfect. Upload their Digimon..."
{YES, DESIREE.}
"Wow... a talking laptop! That is so cool!", exclaimed Kenta, now fully adjusted to his Alloy Necklace. Two Digimon appeared, one was a small cute angel Digimon: MarineAngemon. The second was a huge, purple/black Dinosaur with a metallic arm, helmet and chest plate: BlackMetalGreymon.
"Go. Demolish those defenses and all those guards.", ordered Desiree. BlackMetalGreymon and MarineAngemon nodded. BlackMetalGreymon stomped down the gate and ran in, firing missiles everywhere. MarineAngemon went after him, shooting hearts at soldiers. Desiree calmly strolled in, with Kenta, Sarah and Impy following her.
"This is perfect..."
----------------------------- Earnest's Cabin:
Earnest had just fallen asleep, when suddenly, his D-Volver began bleeping like crazy.
"What the heck?!", he exclaimed, jumping up in his bed. He looked at his D- Volver which showed a mini-map of the town and a bleeping dot at the western side of it.
"...Desiree."
----------------------------- Ace's Apartment:
Having cleaned up the living room a little bit, Ace and Arik were laying on the couch, counting how many dots were on the ceiling.
"Ya know...", said Ace. "I bet Desiree doesn't get bored like th--mmmph!"
Arik had leapt up and clamped his hand over Ace's mouth. Ace looked up at Arik, confused.
"Don't say that name!", shouted Arik. "You'll jinx us!"
"Whff nmmme. Deffrree?", asked Ace, muffled. Arik clamped his hand down harder.
"I said not to say it!"
"Oook. Aook. I wonff say defreee.", responded Ace. Arik removed his hand and they looked at each other.
"...your hand smells.", commented Ace. Suddenly, their D-Volvers began bleeping. Arik picked it up, so did Ace.
"I told you that you'd jinx us.", said Arik.
------------------------------ Lee's Apartment:
Two D-Volvers were beeping, but no one was answering them except for some spastic moaning from Lee and Alex.
"Lee... aren't those the D-Volvers?", asked Alex.
"Who cares. This is more fun."
"Hell yeah!"
------------------------------ The Armory:
Earnest, Ace and Arik met up a few meters away from the destroyed gate.
"Put your damn mask on, Ace!", shouted Arik.
"I don't want too!"
"Would you want to have Dragonmon taken away by the police?"
"No...", muttered Ace, finally pulling the pink mask over his face.
"Hmmm... what could be taking Lee so long?", asked Earnest. "He's usually the first one at these things."
"We don't have time to wait for him. Let's GO!", shouted Leila, jumping into the demolished battlefield. A remaining tank aimed it's cannon at them.
"Oh shit. Don't shoot!", shouted Arik. But the tank fired a missile directly at them!
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Leila The Kyubimon, Digivolve to..."
Leila became completely covered in a metal substance. Emerging from it, she was metallic shades of her normal colors as Kyubimon. Two metal wings sprouted from her back with reactors on the tip of each of them. She made a metallic screech and spread out her tails.
"Leila The METALKYUBIMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Dual Blasters!", shouted Leila, firing missiles of her own at the missile the tank shot. They met and exploded in midair.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Racermon, Digivolve to..."
Racermon lost his wheeled car form and grew into a green, armored humanoid Digimon. One of his arms is a laser cannon, and his chest is emblazoned with a red emblem. He extended a lazer sword from the cannon arm.
"...TECHAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
Techamon leapt over to the tank and extended his lazer sword.
"Tech Saber!", he shouted, cutting off the cannon on the tank. The hatch opened up and two men scrambled out, running the other way.
"Let them go, Techamon!", shouted Arik. Suddenly, Ace let out a scream.
"That guy is big!", exclaimed Ace, pointing at BlackMetalGreymon, who was stomping some helpless soldiers and tanks.
"He's my size, you mean!", said Dragonmon.
"No he's not-- oh, wait. I getcha.", replied Ace, pulling out his D-Volver.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Dragonmon!!! Digivolve to..."
Dragonmon turned completely metallic, with huge metal wings and a silver helmet. He gained a chest plate that secretes missiles, much like MetalGreymon. He roared out to the sky, launching fire into the heavens.
"...METALDRAGONMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
MetalDragonmon roared out and leapt over to BMG.
"Hey ugly! Want to pick on somebody your own size!?", asked MetalDragonmon. BMG simply shrugged and turned to him.
"Mega Claw!", he shouted, extending his robotic arm to smash into MetalDragonmon, who was sent flying backwards. Techamon and Leila saw this and turned to run over to the battle.
"We're coming!", shouted Leila.
"Oh no, you aren't!", squeaked a little voice. MarineAngemon sped down in front of the two Ultimates. They scoffed at her.
"What are you gonna do? 'Cute' us to death?", asked Techamon. MarineAngemon smiled.
"Kahuna Waves!!!", she shouted, firing heart bubbles at Leila and Techamon. When they impacted, they impacted with alot of force and sent them flying backwards. They shook their heads.
"That smarts!", shouted Techamon.
"I'll show her something that smarts.", shouted Leila. "Cyberdragon Wheel!"
Leila fired herself at MarineAngemon, but she simply moved out of the way. She floated back down and giggled.
"Hmmm... MarineAngemon. Mega Level. Special attack is Kahuna Waves.", read Earnest. He then looked to see Desiree, Kenta, Sarah and Devidramon over by a storage shed, not paying attention to the battle at all.
"What could they be up too?", asked Arik, curiously.
"I don't know, but it can't be anything good.", replied Earnest. "I'll scan the kids with her."
{PROFILE: Kitagawa, Kenta}
Server: Amaterasu Server
Known Relatives: Mother, Father
Device Type: D-Arc
D-Arc Functions: Card Slash
Partner: MarineAngemon
- Kenta is a bit of a slacker from Amaterasu Server. He received his partner later than all the other Tamers, but it was worth the wait, because his partner always stays at the Mega level. He makes jokes alot, but is a good-hearted kid and fights real well when provoked.
{END PROFILE}
{PROFILE: Sarah}
Server: Kiriban Server
Known Relatives: None
Device Type: D-3
D-3 Functions: Digivolve to Champion, Ultimate, Mega, Mega Junction Digivolve
Partner: BlackAgumon-BlackGreymon-BlackMetalGreymon-BlackWarGreymon
- Sarah is a child with both a gift and a curse. Under certain instances, she can transform into a creature called a Were-Cheetah, as strong as almost any Digimon. Becoming part of DTE, she defeated her rival Sethakage and his partner Boltmon, then went on to help DTE defeat Phalanxmon once and for all!
{END PROFILE}
"Hmmm... she's getting tricky now. Giving us enemies with special abilities... like always staying at Mega...", muttered Earnest.
"Oh, and two Mega's Digivolving together WASN'T special at all!", shouted Ace, sarcastically. "You know, it's almost like she wants to defeat us or something."
They looked to see Devidramon raise his claw, as if he was about to knock down a wall into the building.
"Devidramon can't be strong enough to break solid adamantium!", exclaimed Arik. Devidramon slashed the wall and it crumbled.
"...or I could be wrong.", said Arik, almost scared. "Has he been working out?"
"Let's hope not.", replied Ace. "Cuz then I'd have to wrestle him and he'd lose."
"...that would be hilarious.", said Earnest, though Ace wasn't sure if he was joking.
BMG smashed MetalDragonmon across the skull and the mighty dragon fell to the ground, wounded.
"Now you're starting to piss me off...", muttered MetalDragonmon. BMG laughed.
"You haven't seen anything yet! Giga Blaster!", he shouted, firing missiles at MetalDragonmon. MetalDragonmon quickly took flight to avoid them and decided to retaliate with missiles of his own.
Leila leapt at MarineAngemon who moved out of the way. She began to chase the small Mega around, determined to catch him. Arik saw that Techamon wasn't doing anything.
"Techamon, come with us!", shouted Arik. Techamon followed Earnest, Ace and him to the hole where Devidramon slashed the wall. They ran in to see Desiree and the other two loading Devidramon up with some material.
"I don't think so!", shouted Techamon. "Tech Saber!!!"
Techamon slashed Devidramon who crashed up against the wall and fell unconscious.
"How does it feel now to be taken out in one hit!?", shouted Techamon, angrily. He was referring to when Beelzemon blasted all the Chosen out in one shot.
"Damnit.", muttered Desiree. "I should've brought another Chosen."
"Leave the mistress alone!", shouted Kenta, running at them while flailing his fists in the air.
"Oh please.", groaned Earnest, smacking him aside. Sarah ran up and began to kick at them, but Techamon picked her up and restrained her.
"What are ya doing here, Desiree?", asked Ace.
"It is none of your business, little boy. Go home to your mommy.", retorted Desiree. This comment set Ace off, as he is neglected by his mother and he ran at Desiree. She pulled out a small dark orb, no bigger than a pea and threw it at Ace. It embedded itself in his neck and he fell over, choking. She threw two more at Arik and Earnest. Earnest shoved Arik onto the ground as one flew into his neck as well. The one intended for Arik splattered against the wall. Earnest fell down choking. Arik stood up, very worried about his situation.
"What did you do to them!?", shouted Arik.
"Nothing yet.", said Desiree, taking some alloy. "You'll find out in a few days."
"Tell me!", demanded Arik.
"I won't tell you... but ya wanna know a secret?", asked Desiree. She walked over to Arik and picked him up into the air, glaring into his face. "These drugs are mixed with a special fluid called 'Dynoxide'. When the needles embed themselves into my victims necks, they become willing, with the mixture of the cocaine to lower their senses, allowing the Dynoxide to sink in and take effect. This alloy I have will increase the effect of the Dynoxide two-hundred percent."
She threw Arik onto the ground and leapt on Devidramon, who had recently gotten up and they flew away. The first thing Arik did was rip off Kenta's dark necklace, sending him to the Desolate Server. He got Techamon to rip Sarah's off. Then he went to check on Ace and Earnest, who were coming to.
"Are you guys okay?", asked Arik.
"Yeah... but what the hell was that stuff?", asked Ace.
"I've no idea... but Desiree told me an interesting story...", began Arik.
---------------------------- TO BE CONTINUED
Next: Hoo-boy! That was one of my better chapters, don't you agree? Anyway, a few questions have been raised, like how are the Chosen going to rescue the others from Desolate Server and what exactly DID Desiree do to Earnest and Ace. We got a competitive romance starting next chapter as Allison returns to the scene! ...and she ain't a happy bunny.

"What's up, man?", asked Arik, again attempting to get Ace's attention once again.
"Arik... it's like my parents don't even realize I exist! I see them, like once a week! I come home from school, and there's a little note that says 'food in the cupboard, honey. Be home late.' And then when they do get home, I'm either in bed or fell asleep trying to stay up waiting for them!"

---------------------------- Earnest's Cabin, about 12:00 Am:
Earnest and Leila finally got home. Earnest opened the door and walked in, taking off his shoes and pulling off his mask. He then began to relax his feet on the soft carpet. He took off his deer skin jacket and went into the kitchen to fix himself a drink. Leila, though seemingly distracted, followed him.
"Ok, Leila. I can tell when you're keeping something from me...", said Earnest, pouring himself a cup of coffee. He didn't look at her, but he knew she had a look of stress on her furry face.
"I- I don't know what you're talking about... Earnest...", she protested. "It's late, I should go to bed..."
"No. You've avoided this long enough.", said Earnest. He turned around and began to sip from his coffee.
"Uhh... how did you make that coffee so fast?", asked Leila, confused. Earnest looked at his cup.
"...I have no idea.", he said, bewildered. "Hey, don't change the subject!"
"Alright... alright... you want to know my big secret, Earnest?", asked Leila.
"Yes."
"You want the truth?"
"Yes."
"You can't handle the truth!"
"Yes I can."
"I derive your truth-handling skills! No truth-handler, you!", shouted Leila, pointing at him. Earnest gave her a look that told her to stop acting silly. She sighed.
"Earnest... I'm one of the seven Server guardians... in a new form...", she admitted. Earnest almost spat out his coffee.
"You're a what!?", he shouted.
"See? I told you that you couldn't handle the truth."
"I can handle it... it was just shocking...", he said. Leila decided to go on.
"You've heard the short version of this from Lee, him being told by another of the seven guardians, who is now Desiree's laptop. Which is an odd choice of a form, but she must have a plan...", explained Leila. "You see... once the Shadow defeated us, we were destroyed. But our spirits survived and each of us took a new form in each Server. I am the guardian of our Server, Megabyte Server. The laptop is the guardian of the Desolate Server."
"Well... if you're Guardians... then why don't you prevent the Shadow from destroying all these worlds?!", asked Earnest.
"We can't! Not until all seven of us are together can we unleash our full potential!", she told him. "We must go to the other Servers and find the other five Guardians!"
"Uh... but we'd have no idea how to navigate the other Servers..."
"I know that. But I've been thinking up a plan... if we can free the Chosen that we have sent to the Desolate Server, they may repay the favor by guiding us to their Servers, so that we may find the other Guardians... who have probably taken new forms as well."
"That's a brilliant plan, Leila! Tomorrow we'll have to get in touch with Kevin and see what he found on Izzy's laptop files...", suggested Earnest.
"Actually Earnest... it IS tomorrow.", said Leila. Earnest looked at the clock, it read 12:33 Am.
"I think we should go to bed."
--------------------------- An armory on the west side of town:
Desiree and Impy ran up to the front gate of the armory and peered inside. It was heavily guarded by many soldiers and electrical fences and such. Even tanks. She grumbled and stomped her foot on the ground.
"Damn! I knew they'd step up their defense after Chris and the others attacked it last week!", she cursed.
"Then why did we come here?", asked Impmon.
"Because Impmon. I need a special alloy found here to make more of my dark necklaces."
"But... you were just putting the needles into regular pearls...", protested Impmon. "Why do we suddenly need some alloy?"
"Because, it'll will hold and channel the drugs better, making my servants much more obedient.", said Desiree. She sighed and opened up the laptop. "I need some help. Scan me Amaterasu Server and Kiriban Server combined."
{ACKNOWLEDGED)
{SCAN COMPLETE. REMAINING CHOSEN ARE: - Kitagawa, Kenta - Katou, Jeri - Wong, Suzie - Akiyama, Ryo - Sarah - Sethakage
"Hmmm... give me Kenta and Sarah, promptly."
{...YES, DESIREE.}
Two children materialized from the laptop in front of Desiree. One was a small, scrawny boy with big glasses and wearing a T-shirt and shorts. Not too great for this weather, since it was snowing out. The second was a taller girl, with long purple hair. She was wearing clothing best suited for this weather. Before either of them had a chance to react, they were both fitted with Alloy Necklaces.
"Let's see if the test ones work...", said Desiree, curiously. Kenta and Sarah both shivered intensely, and then finally came to a stop. When they looked at Desiree, their eyes were glowing with dark energy.
"Perfect. Upload their Digimon..."
{YES, DESIREE.}
"Wow... a talking laptop! That is so cool!", exclaimed Kenta, now fully adjusted to his Alloy Necklace. Two Digimon appeared, one was a small cute angel Digimon: MarineAngemon. The second was a huge, purple/black Dinosaur with a metallic arm, helmet and chest plate: BlackMetalGreymon.
"Go. Demolish those defenses and all those guards.", ordered Desiree. BlackMetalGreymon and MarineAngemon nodded. BlackMetalGreymon stomped down the gate and ran in, firing missiles everywhere. MarineAngemon went after him, shooting hearts at soldiers. Desiree calmly strolled in, with Kenta, Sarah and Impy following her.
"This is perfect..."
----------------------------- Earnest's Cabin:
Earnest had just fallen asleep, when suddenly, his D-Volver began bleeping like crazy.
"What the heck?!", he exclaimed, jumping up in his bed. He looked at his D- Volver which showed a mini-map of the town and a bleeping dot at the western side of it.
"...Desiree."
----------------------------- Ace's Apartment:
Having cleaned up the living room a little bit, Ace and Arik were laying on the couch, counting how many dots were on the ceiling.
"Ya know...", said Ace. "I bet Desiree doesn't get bored like th--mmmph!"
Arik had leapt up and clamped his hand over Ace's mouth. Ace looked up at Arik, confused.
"Don't say that name!", shouted Arik. "You'll jinx us!"
"Whff nmmme. Deffrree?", asked Ace, muffled. Arik clamped his hand down harder.
"I said not to say it!"
"Oook. Aook. I wonff say defreee.", responded Ace. Arik removed his hand and they looked at each other.
"...your hand smells.", commented Ace. Suddenly, their D-Volvers began bleeping. Arik picked it up, so did Ace.
"I told you that you'd jinx us.", said Arik.
------------------------------ Lee's Apartment:
Two D-Volvers were beeping, but no one was answering them except for some spastic moaning from Lee and Alex.
"Lee... aren't those the D-Volvers?", asked Alex.
"Who cares. This is more fun."
"Hell yeah!"
------------------------------ The Armory:
Earnest, Ace and Arik met up a few meters away from the destroyed gate.
"Put your damn mask on, Ace!", shouted Arik.
"I don't want too!"
"Would you want to have Dragonmon taken away by the police?"
"No...", muttered Ace, finally pulling the pink mask over his face.
"Hmmm... what could be taking Lee so long?", asked Earnest. "He's usually the first one at these things."
"We don't have time to wait for him. Let's GO!", shouted Leila, jumping into the demolished battlefield. A remaining tank aimed it's cannon at them.
"Oh shit. Don't shoot!", shouted Arik. But the tank fired a missile directly at them!
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Leila The Kyubimon, Digivolve to..."
Leila became completely covered in a metal substance. Emerging from it, she was metallic shades of her normal colors as Kyubimon. Two metal wings sprouted from her back with reactors on the tip of each of them. She made a metallic screech and spread out her tails.
"Leila The METALKYUBIMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Dual Blasters!", shouted Leila, firing missiles of her own at the missile the tank shot. They met and exploded in midair.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Racermon, Digivolve to..."
Racermon lost his wheeled car form and grew into a green, armored humanoid Digimon. One of his arms is a laser cannon, and his chest is emblazoned with a red emblem. He extended a lazer sword from the cannon arm.
"...TECHAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
Techamon leapt over to the tank and extended his lazer sword.
"Tech Saber!", he shouted, cutting off the cannon on the tank. The hatch opened up and two men scrambled out, running the other way.
"Let them go, Techamon!", shouted Arik. Suddenly, Ace let out a scream.
"That guy is big!", exclaimed Ace, pointing at BlackMetalGreymon, who was stomping some helpless soldiers and tanks.
"He's my size, you mean!", said Dragonmon.
"No he's not-- oh, wait. I getcha.", replied Ace, pulling out his D-Volver.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Dragonmon!!! Digivolve to..."
Dragonmon turned completely metallic, with huge metal wings and a silver helmet. He gained a chest plate that secretes missiles, much like MetalGreymon. He roared out to the sky, launching fire into the heavens.
"...METALDRAGONMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
MetalDragonmon roared out and leapt over to BMG.
"Hey ugly! Want to pick on somebody your own size!?", asked MetalDragonmon. BMG simply shrugged and turned to him.
"Mega Claw!", he shouted, extending his robotic arm to smash into MetalDragonmon, who was sent flying backwards. Techamon and Leila saw this and turned to run over to the battle.
"We're coming!", shouted Leila.
"Oh no, you aren't!", squeaked a little voice. MarineAngemon sped down in front of the two Ultimates. They scoffed at her.
"What are you gonna do? 'Cute' us to death?", asked Techamon. MarineAngemon smiled.
"Kahuna Waves!!!", she shouted, firing heart bubbles at Leila and Techamon. When they impacted, they impacted with alot of force and sent them flying backwards. They shook their heads.
"That smarts!", shouted Techamon.
"I'll show her something that smarts.", shouted Leila. "Cyberdragon Wheel!"
Leila fired herself at MarineAngemon, but she simply moved out of the way. She floated back down and giggled.
"Hmmm... MarineAngemon. Mega Level. Special attack is Kahuna Waves.", read Earnest. He then looked to see Desiree, Kenta, Sarah and Devidramon over by a storage shed, not paying attention to the battle at all.
"What could they be up too?", asked Arik, curiously.
"I don't know, but it can't be anything good.", replied Earnest. "I'll scan the kids with her."
{PROFILE: Kitagawa, Kenta}
Server: Amaterasu Server
Known Relatives: Mother, Father
Device Type: D-Arc
D-Arc Functions: Card Slash
Partner: MarineAngemon
- Kenta is a bit of a slacker from Amaterasu Server. He received his partner later than all the other Tamers, but it was worth the wait, because his partner always stays at the Mega level. He makes jokes alot, but is a good-hearted kid and fights real well when provoked.
{END PROFILE}
{PROFILE: Sarah}
Server: Kiriban Server
Known Relatives: None
Device Type: D-3
D-3 Functions: Digivolve to Champion, Ultimate, Mega, Mega Junction Digivolve
Partner: BlackAgumon-BlackGreymon-BlackMetalGreymon-BlackWarGreymon
- Sarah is a child with both a gift and a curse. Under certain instances, she can transform into a creature called a Were-Cheetah, as strong as almost any Digimon. Becoming part of DTE, she defeated her rival Sethakage and his partner Boltmon, then went on to help DTE defeat Phalanxmon once and for all!
{END PROFILE}
"Hmmm... she's getting tricky now. Giving us enemies with special abilities... like always staying at Mega...", muttered Earnest.
"Oh, and two Mega's Digivolving together WASN'T special at all!", shouted Ace, sarcastically. "You know, it's almost like she wants to defeat us or something."
They looked to see Devidramon raise his claw, as if he was about to knock down a wall into the building.
"Devidramon can't be strong enough to break solid adamantium!", exclaimed Arik. Devidramon slashed the wall and it crumbled.
"...or I could be wrong.", said Arik, almost scared. "Has he been working out?"
"Let's hope not.", replied Ace. "Cuz then I'd have to wrestle him and he'd lose."
"...that would be hilarious.", said Earnest, though Ace wasn't sure if he was joking.
BMG smashed MetalDragonmon across the skull and the mighty dragon fell to the ground, wounded.
"Now you're starting to piss me off...", muttered MetalDragonmon. BMG laughed.
"You haven't seen anything yet! Giga Blaster!", he shouted, firing missiles at MetalDragonmon. MetalDragonmon quickly took flight to avoid them and decided to retaliate with missiles of his own.
Leila leapt at MarineAngemon who moved out of the way. She began to chase the small Mega around, determined to catch him. Arik saw that Techamon wasn't doing anything.
"Techamon, come with us!", shouted Arik. Techamon followed Earnest, Ace and him to the hole where Devidramon slashed the wall. They ran in to see Desiree and the other two loading Devidramon up with some material.
"I don't think so!", shouted Techamon. "Tech Saber!!!"
Techamon slashed Devidramon who crashed up against the wall and fell unconscious.
"How does it feel now to be taken out in one hit!?", shouted Techamon, angrily. He was referring to when Beelzemon blasted all the Chosen out in one shot.
"Damnit.", muttered Desiree. "I should've brought another Chosen."
"Leave the mistress alone!", shouted Kenta, running at them while flailing his fists in the air.
"Oh please.", groaned Earnest, smacking him aside. Sarah ran up and began to kick at them, but Techamon picked her up and restrained her.
"What are ya doing here, Desiree?", asked Ace.
"It is none of your business, little boy. Go home to your mommy.", retorted Desiree. This comment set Ace off, as he is neglected by his mother and he ran at Desiree. She pulled out a small dark orb, no bigger than a pea and threw it at Ace. It embedded itself in his neck and he fell over, choking. She threw two more at Arik and Earnest. Earnest shoved Arik onto the ground as one flew into his neck as well. The one intended for Arik splattered against the wall. Earnest fell down choking. Arik stood up, very worried about his situation.
"What did you do to them!?", shouted Arik.
"Nothing yet.", said Desiree, taking some alloy. "You'll find out in a few days."
"Tell me!", demanded Arik.
"I won't tell you... but ya wanna know a secret?", asked Desiree. She walked over to Arik and picked him up into the air, glaring into his face. "These drugs are mixed with a special fluid called 'Dynoxide'. When the needles embed themselves into my victims necks, they become willing, with the mixture of the cocaine to lower their senses, allowing the Dynoxide to sink in and take effect. This alloy I have will increase the effect of the Dynoxide two-hundred percent."
She threw Arik onto the ground and leapt on Devidramon, who had recently gotten up and they flew away. The first thing Arik did was rip off Kenta's dark necklace, sending him to the Desolate Server. He got Techamon to rip Sarah's off. Then he went to check on Ace and Earnest, who were coming to.
"Are you guys okay?", asked Arik.
"Yeah... but what the hell was that stuff?", asked Ace.
"I've no idea... but Desiree told me an interesting story...", began Arik.
---------------------------- TO BE CONTINUED
Next: Hoo-boy! That was one of my better chapters, don't you agree? Anyway, a few questions have been raised, like how are the Chosen going to rescue the others from Desolate Server and what exactly DID Desiree do to Earnest and Ace. We got a competitive romance starting next chapter as Allison returns to the scene! ...and she ain't a happy bunny.
