Renegade Dream
Episode three: Junkyard Jamboree
A/N: I read over this and realized that I really like this story. So without further ado, the third chapter!
*****
A few hours after the initial incident, the galactic ship Digimon floated through space, as its inhabitants discussed their next move...
"We must go to Mercury." Mimi said plainly, crossing her legs. Shifting in her seat, the skimpy towel she was wearing revealed a larger portion of her thigh, as droplets from her wet hair slid down her body. "I have an informant there, that might have some ne--What are you staring at?" she questioned, raising a delicate eyebrow.
Sitting in front of her, Yamato's wide eyes blinked, as Taichi wiped the drool that was beginning to slip down the side of his mouth. Blushing, the brunette turned his gaze to the floor and stuttered, "C-Couldn't you have put your clothes back on after taking your shower?"
Smiling seductively, Mimi leaned forward, capturing his chin in her hands and cooed, "Are your eyes wandering where they shouldn't be, Tai-chan~?" Her eyes twinkled when he blushed crimson and fell back into his seat. Laughing at his boyish antics she said, "My, how cute!"
"Stop that," Yamato interrupted them, helping his fallen friend from the ground. "It's not nice to tease people. Taichi has a weak mind, remember?" Ignoring the indignant look that his partner threw him, the blonde fought a smirk before continuing, "So, who is this informant and why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"Well...you never asked. And I was having such an amusing time, watching you two argue..." she explained, giving him a devilish smile. "But either way, for information Mercury is the place to go. My friend is a genius. Surely that person will be able to help us. Plus...I've been staying there, so all my things are on that planet..."
"I knew there was something else," Yamato grumbled, slapping a hand to his forehead. "Woman, you always do things for your own selfish needs don't you?" Giving her an irritated look, he was surprised to see the sad expression that crossed her face before she retorted, "If I don't, nobody else will look out for me."
Watching them from his seat, Taichi looked at her thoughtfully before saying, "That's not true. Now that we are in this strange adventure together, Mimi-chan is one of us. You are a part of the crew, so we'll definitely watch out for each other."
"Taichi..." Mimi started, blushing slightly at what he said. She didn't know why, but his words had made her very happy. "Arigato. I guess you goofballs aren't so bad after all." Turning to Yamato, she gave him an appreciative look, ignoring his scowling face, when the tip of her towel slipped, revealing the top portion of her breast. "Oops," she exclaimed, when Taichi again fell out of his chair, suffering from a massive nosebleed. "T-Taichi? Are you dead?!"
(In Japan, people usually suffer from nosebleeds when they witness something sexual or perverted. It's a running gag in a lot of mangas and stories. =P)

"So this is the fiery ice planet? What an ironic name," Taichi muttered, stepping off of the ship. Taking off his jacket, he began to wipe some sweat off his face, kicking at one of the icy rocks that lie on the ground. "How can it be frozen in this intense heat?" he questioned, eyeing the completely intact glaciers that littered the landscape. "It's not possible..."
"Odd isn't it?" Mimi said, coming up from behind him. Wearing the ripped dress that she had on earlier, she picked up one of the loose pebbles from the ground and put it to her cheek. "The ice is warm, yet doesn't melt. Mercury is amazing isn't it?" Smiling she dropped the stone and turned to Yamato who seemed uninterested in the scorching iceland. "You're so gloomy, you know?"
"What's so great about the heat?" The blonde mumbled, shading his eyes from the sun. "It's impossible to cool off on Mercury, without mechanical air conditioning. Can we please get to where you are taking us, so we don't end up as fried idiots?"
Stalking past her, he didn't notice the way she rolled her eyes and Mimi followed him saying, "Hai, hai. Hanging out with you could make anybody feel down."

After about half an hour of walking, all three of our heros were getting quite tired. Slumping to his knees, Taichi rested against a piece of scrap metal that was lying on the ground of the enormous junkyard that they seemed to have wandered into. "This place is huge! Mimi, do you really know where we're going? I mean...look at all this old junk! Nobody would live around here..."
"That's not true," Mimi huffed, leaning against a broken down television. "My friend will find us soon. We are tresspassing afterall. After he recognizes me, he'll send for a ride." She explained, waiting for some sort of sign that they would be rescued.
"And what if this person doesn't recognize you?" Yamato asked, falling onto his butt. "Then what?" Frowning, she tossed him a irritated look before answering, "Then we'll be vaporized by the security system." Shocked, Yamato opened and closed his mouth for a second, before getting to his feet and shouting, "BAKA! We're gonna die because of yo--"
But before he could finish his tirade, they all heard a loud buzzing noise approaching. Smiling, Mimi soon stood up when she saw a familiar contraption fly toward them and pointed to it triumphantly. "See? I told you! There is Kabuterimon now!"
"Kabu-what?" Taichi asked, straining his eyes to spot what was coming. "It looks like a giant bug to me..."
"It is," Mimi offered, as the large insect flew over them and promptly transformed into a passenger carrying hovercraft. "But it's also the way Koushiro takes his guests to his home."
"Koushiro?" Both boys echoed, following her as she boarded the bug. "So it's a guy," Yamato muttered, before the vehicle took off, down the ice dunes and over large pieces of junk. "Where is it taking us?"
"Underground!" Mimi cried, struggling to talk over the sound of rushing wind. "Koushiro's base in under all the ice. Kabuterimon will take us there through a cave! Just be patient and hang on!"
"No kidding!" Taichi hollared back, clutching onto the rim for dear life. "Can't this thing slow down?!?!?!?!" He questioned, thinking that his hair would fly off, when the contraption suddenly came to a halt. Baffled, the brunette opened his tightly squeezed eyes, and looked around, only to be astonished by what he saw.
Surrounding them were rows and rows of computers, monitors, numbers, shapes and letters, all zooming by their heads. Confused and reaching out to touch one of the glowing objects, he was startled when a voice boomed, "Don't touch! I just had that cleaned!"
"W-Wha?!" Taichi exclaimed, taking a step back and quickly scanned the area, pulling out his pistol. "What was that?" he inquired, turning to Mimi in a comical fashion.
"Kou-kun! Long time no see," Mimi said, ignoring the frightened boy and walked over to what looked like a dark patch of light. "I'm so glad to see you again. These are my friends, Yamato and Taichi. Don't be alarmed guys, this is Koushiro."
"That?" Yamato voiced, in disbelief. "But it's only a patch of light."
"No I'm not," the voice suddenly muttered, sounding slightly insulted. "I'm flesh and bone, just like you." It said, before a blindingly bright flash appeared and vanished, leaving a short man, with red hair standing in its wake. "I'm Koushiro Izumi. Charmed, I'm sure."
"Err..." The blonde space pirate said, gaping at the small man who just popped out of thin air. "Nice to meet you...Koushiro right?"
"That's right," Izumi nodded, studying the two men in front of him, before turning to the tall woman beside him. "You always had weird taste in men Mimi. That one has a large animal on his head and the other seems to have sharp yellow knives for hair. Very peculiar..."
"That's my hair!" both pirates shouted in return, holding their heads. Smiling, Mimi only looked down at her long time friend and then glanced at the two men who were now fuming nearby. "I picked them up a few hours ago, after a short rumble on Callisto. I've always had a fondess for things that were lost."
Her expression turning dark after she said this however, Mimi continued, "Anyhow, I came because I needed your help Kou-kun. I need information on the Dark Dragons...Also, I need to know what's going on in the X sector. Check out what he's been up to, you know?"
Only nodding, Koushiro met her eyes, before turning to the boys and muttered, "Oh yes. That one does look like HIM, doesn't he?"
