Chapter 2: Friends & Foes
Location: Tokyo, T.K.s' apartment Time: 10:26 AM
"...Fifth of the city is gone. There is panic in the streets and no one can explain the mysterious voice or the appearance of the huge meteor that destroyed a portion of the city and everyone in it. It has been over 3 hours and so far nothing else has happened since then. when will the owner of the voice strike next? You can be sure this sta-"
Sora turned off the TV and looked out the window. To the left was the Dark Spire, its blackness seemingly absorbing all light around it. To the right was the edge of the crater where the rock had crashed. In the center was the meteorite itself. Who knows how many people were killed by it. Sora sighed, and turned to look at her friends.
Izzy, Yolie, and Ken, as well as their digimon, were sitting on the couch and working on Izzis' laptop to figure out what was going on and who their newest enemy was. Tai, Kari, T.K., Cody, Joe, and Matt were in the back discussing what they should do now. Davis was in the bathroom relieving himself.
Apart from Tentomon, Hawkmon, and Wormon, all of the digimon were just listening to the discussion.
Sora went over to the group and stood next to Tai. "Well? What're we going to do now? We can't just sit around as the city is demolished." Said Matt. "What can we do? Until we know more about who did this, and what they want, we can't do anything." Argued Tai. Matt conceded defeat. "I suppose so. But still..."
"Hey guys!" Said Izzy "I think we may have something." All attention turned to him. "My computers detected a strange energy source coming from the portals to the Digital World as well as from the comet, which can only mean..."
"...The source of the voice and the comet is in the Digital World!" Concluded T.K.
At that moment, the sound of a toilet flushing came from the bathroom and Davis came out. He looked at the others. "So, have you figured out what we're going to do next?" He asked.
"Yes." Said Tai. "We're going to the Digital World. We think that's where the source of the problem is." ***** Location: Somewhere in the Digital World Time: Unknown
"They're coming."
"Yes, I know. Lead them here. They deserve an explanation of what has happened in their world and this one."
"Yes Master."
"Now go. I will be expecting your arrival with them."
"Yes Master." ***** Location: The Digital World, one of the portals of Japan Time: 10:45 AM
The landscape was beautiful. The trees swayed gently in the breeze. Small bird digimon flew to and fro. The grass was as green as one could want. The sun shone on the group as they walked along.
Yes, the day could not have been anymore perfect. The only problem? The faces of the people and digimon could not have been anymore grim.
Izzy scanned the screen of his laptop and frowned. "This doesn't make any sense." He said as he looked up at the sky.
"What?" Asked Tai.
"According to my computer, the source of the energy is up above us. But there nothing above us but blue sky."
Everyone looked around at the sky above, but no one saw anything.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance?" Came a voice. Everyone jumped and looked around.
Standing next to a tree, a few feet away from Sora, was a figure wearing a maroon-colored hooded cloak that covered it completely. The beings' gender could not be determined because of the cloak, but the voice was definitely male, and he had broad shoulders. Slitted yellow eyes peered at them from behind a metal mask.
"Who're you?" Asked Matt.
"Sirian."
"And you can help us, how?" Asked Davis.
"I know someone who can help you. He knows why you are here, and both he and I are willing to offer our services to you."
"Who is this person? And why help us?" Asked T.K.
"The person is my friend and master. He has asked that he remain anonymous, until we can get to where he is." Sirian folded his arms under his cloak. "As to why we're helping you, let's just say we have a common enemy."
"You're talking about the person who sent that comet into Tokyo?" Asked Tai, his voice rising. Sirian nodded.
"Who is this person?!" Demanded Cody
"Negamon."
"Negamon?" Echoed Ken.
"Yes. He is literally pure evil..." Sirian trailed off. There was some movement under the cloak.
Suddenly the right portion of the cape was thrown aside, as Sirian pulled out a gun and pointed it at the group.
"Hey!" Yelled Davis.
"Don't move." Sirian commanded.
"What are you going to-"
BLAM!
Sirian lowered the firearm and looked at the ground behind them. Everyone turned around. A Snimon had crept up behind them. Now it had a bullet wound in its' shoulder.
Cody looked at Sirian in horror. "You shot it!"
"If I didn't, it would've sliced you right down the middle. Besides I didn't delete it." Sirian walked over to the Snimon, grabbed it by the neck, put the gun to the its head, and addressed it.
"OK, Buggy. Why were you trying to kill these humans?"
"I-I was o-ordered to."
"By whom?"
"N-Negamon."
"I thought so." Sirian released the Snimon and gestured off into the distance. "Get outta here."
The Snimon quickly nodded, then ran.
"Damn. Those bastards are faster than I thought." Then he realized the others were staring at him.
The group was stunned by what had just happened. Not only had Sirian threatened and interrogated a Snimon, but his speaking style had changed completely.
Sirian turned to the group. Now that the cape was open, they could see what kind of clothing he had on. He had a trim, but muscular build, and wore a loose, sleeveless shirt that was tucked into a wide, double-slotted belt. Sticking out of the arm holes were shoulder guards that gave him his broad appearance. On his forearms were armored fingerless gauntlets. He had on skin-tight leotards and armored boots that came up to his knees.
The face under the mask a beet red. He chuckled embarrassedly before clearing his throat. "Um, shall we get going?"
"Right." Said the group.
And with that Sirian led the way as they made their way to the home of his mysterious master.
