Digidestined in Danger
The mission
Seconds ticked by like hours as Davis sat in class listening to his history teacher drone on. Only ten minutes till he, Yolie and Cody would meet up and head to the hospital to see the others. He sat there impatiently, tapping his pencil, his eyes flickering to the clock which he could have sworn had stopped working all together, all the while his teacher discussed ancient European history.
"Now tomorrow class we will be studying ancient Egyptian history so please read over section…" Was all he heard as the bell rang to end the day. 'Yes!' Davis thought as he stuffed all his books in his bag and zipped it up as he ran through the crowded halls to the front door and to the park bench. Yolie and Cody soon joined him there, along with Patamon and Gatomon and they took off towards the hospital.
It was a twenty-minute walk to the hospital from the school and they spent it in relative silence. They had all phoned their parents to tell them they were going to be late. They were a little disappointed about the delay in the trip to the digital world, wanting to see their digimon partners, but they needed to check on their friends first. The trio reached the hospital in record time. They looked around as they entered, seeing various people ailing in one way or another, looking for some piece of evidence of where their friends were being kept. Yolie walked up to the information desk. "Excuse me, I was wondering if you could tell me something, my friends were brought in here this morning and I was wondering if you could tell me were I could find them." She asked politely. The nurse nodded with a kind smile.
"Sure I can tell you, what are their names?" The nurse asked as she turned to her registration computer.
"Well there's Takeru Takaichi, Kari Kamiya…" Yolie said as the nurse looked at the computer. She searched through all the patients that were registered until she came to the right names. The nurse looked at her " Okay those are patients under Dr. Kido's care, you can find them on the 10th floor. Just ask the nurse on call to lead you to them." Yolie thanked her and turned back around to face Davis and Cody and the digimon.
"Okay they're on the 10th floor so lets go. Jim's looking after them." She said. The trio turned to go to the elevators when they heard a familiar voice.
"Hey Guys, wait for me!" Ken called as he entered the hospital. Davis turned around to greet their friend.
"Hey Ken, come on they're upstairs." Davis said as the fourth member of their group joined them. They entered the elevator and punched the button.
The four digidestined arrived on the 10th floor. Davis approached the reception desk, with a strict looking nurse sitting behind it. "Excuse me miss, I'm looking for Dr. Kido, do you know where I can find him?" He asked politely. The nurse turned to him and looked down at him through her square glasses.
" Why are you looking for Dr. Kido? He's very busy right now trying to look after an outbreak we had this morning so if you'll please go to the waiting room…" She said in a very snotty tone. Davis was becoming a little angry with the nurse.
"Listen that's why we're here! We're here to find our friends who came in this morning now if you could just tell us where they are…" He said. The nurse interrupted him.
"Oh wait a minute! You wouldn't happen to be Davis Motomiya would you?" She asked.
" Well yeah, that's me." He answered caught slightly off guard at the change in tone.
" Dr. Kido told me to call him when you arrived, so if you'll just wait for one minute, I'll page him." She said in a hurried tone. Davis walked over to the rest of the group.
"She's paging him now, apparently he's been waiting for us." He said.
"Well, we know Jim's not stupid, with a digidestined for a brother, I guess when he saw everyone else come in he figured it had something to do with that." Cody said deductively. The group entered the small empty sitting room to wait for the word . They didn't have to wait long before he entered.
"Hey guys, I was wondering when you'd get here." Jim said as he sat down in one of the chairs, looking tired.
"Jim, tell us, how are they?" Cody asked, a touch of worry appearing on his face.
"They're all unconscious but alive, I've never seen anything like this before." He said as he looked down at the chart he held in his hands.
"What do you mean? 'You've never seen anything like this?'" Yolie said as she looked at his face. Jim thought about how he would explain this to them.
"I mean the symptoms they have are strange. It's like their energy is being drained away to the point of unconsciousness. The only ones that seem to be able to muster enough energy to even talk were T.k and Kari. But they passed out after they gave me these." He said as he pulled out two D-Terminals and two digivices from his pocket. "They told me to make sure that you got these. I think it confirms that this is more in your territory then mine. " He said as he handed the devices to Davis, who looked at them as they beeped with message alerts on both of them. He opened his rival's D-terminal hesitantly and read the message.
Message
Hey Davis,
If you are reading this then the others and I are probably either unconscious or worse. This isn't just a disease, and I think it's safe to say that It originated in the digital world. It had to have, we're the only ones effected from what I can see. Something is robbing us of our energy and you guys have to find out what it is. I've reconfigured my digivice using an option that Izzy helped build so you can use it to help Patamon digivolve. You can also use my digi-egg. Just take it easy on Patamon, he may not be able to reach full power. It's up to you guys now to save our butts, so don't let us down.
Good luck guys.
T.k
Davis read the message and looked at T.k's digivice. He was putting a lot of trust in him to trust him with his digimon partner. He held it in his hand at it reacted to him, glowing and beeping. It felt odd, like he had gained a soft glow inside, or like he could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Patamon glowed slightly on the table as a connection formed. He smiled slightly. 'So that's why T.k always had that annoying ability to smile ' he thought ' I never thought the power of hope was this strong.' He clipped the device to his belt next to his own and looked at Kari's D-terminal. He opened it and read the awaiting message.
Hey everyone,
I'm pretty sure T.k already described the situation to you so here's what I want you to do. I want you to choose someone in the group to carry my digivice and to look after Gatomon, she'll be worried. Our lives are up to you guys now so please don't let us down.
Good luck.
Kari.
Davis put the lid on the computer down and looked around the group. ' Why do I have to chose? The only thing I've ever been good at choosing is a soccer team! ' he thought as he looked at them. He looked around the group once more and decided. "Hey Ken, carry Kari's digivice and egg will ya? She wants someone to help Gatomon digivolve to help us out. It's set so you just have to hold it in your hand and it'll adjust to you." He said as he handed over the device. Ken took it and looked at him incredulously .
" You want me to look after it? Shouldn't it go to Yolie or Cody?" Ken asked as he looked at Davis.
"No they already have armor digivolving partners, now until the others are back to normal, you have one too." He explained. Ken just looked at the pink digivice that was now in his possession.
"Do you have a problem with this Gatomon?" He asked the cat digimon almost waiting for her to reject him. Gatomon looked sad but set her shoulders.
" Without Kari I may not be able to reach full strength, but if Kari needs my help then I don't have a problem with it." Ken looked down at the device and held it in his hand, letting it react.
"I'll look after it." He said as he clipped it to his belt next to his black one. Davis nodded and turned to Jim.
"Hey Jim, can we see the others? There maybe a clue that we can use." Davis asked. Jim looked around at the hopeful and ambitious eyes of his brother's younger friends.
"Alright, follow me. It's a good idea to get you guys in and out before the families start swarming around…" He said as he walked to the door. The group of friends stood up and followed the man out the door. They walked though winding halls until they came to a door that led into a large room. Jim turned around to face them. "They're in there but don't expect to be able to talk to them, they're all unconscious just…don't get your hopes up." He said as he opened the door. The group entered and stood between the rows of beds. Jim just stood at the door for a few seconds before excusing himself, leaving the group alone in the room of their ailing friends. They walked up and down the aisle looking in disbelief at their friend's frail forms.
"Well whatever this disease is, it's sure taken a lot out of them." Cody stated as he stood beside Izzy's bedside, looking at his sick predecessor.
"But I don't get it, what digimon could be strong enough to attack them in this world? Not to mention do this to them…" Yolie said
"Well what ever it is, it's up to us to stop it." Davis said as he stood in-between Tai and Matt's still forms. "They've saved our butts enough in the past, we owe them…"
"What did they write anyway Davis?" Yolie asked as she walked though out the aisle looking at each digidestined in turn. Davis reached into his pocket and pulled out T.k's D-terminal and handed it to Yolie as he walked up to the bed where T.k was laying and looked at the blond boy slightly confused. ' Why choose me to look after Patamon, I don't get it…We usually fight all the time about everything...' Patamon flew out of his arms and landed on T.k's chest, his ears drooping.
"I hope we can find a cure for this before they get any worse…" Gatomon said quietly as she sat at Kari's feet.
"Don't worry guys, they're tough, I mean, they survived Piedmon after all. We'll find a way to help them…" Davis said, his new sense of hope seeping through.
" I hope so…" Cody said seriously, Yolie was fiddling in a cupboard off to the side of the room.
"What are you doing over there Yolie" Ken said, still feeling slightly out of place in the group. She emerged carrying the groups various digivices.
"Well we can't just leave these here, the doctors will get curious about them. We can't risk them finding out about us now." She said, stuffing them gently in her bag.
"Good idea, the less people who know about the digital world, the better." Davis said. He took one last look around the room and sighed. "Well, let's get started, call home, tell your parents your sleeping over at my house, my parents are out of town. Looks like we're spending the weekend in the Digital world. We have a mystery to solve…"
In the Digital world
The dark figure stood in front of a podium smiling evilly. On it sat a cushion with the eight crystals, power emanating from each, tainted with a dark aura. He focused on the golden crystal and it floated up to eye level. 'So, It seems that hope was not enough to save you this time, even with you're pathetic friends meddling around.' He set it back down and turned to the entrance of his lair. ' Without the eight digidestined, the digital world will fall and I will reign again. Even the child of hope can't stop me now…' He walked out into the night, smiling.
"Time to introduce myself to the new children..."
