Reality Redux
By ArchangelUK & Digicowboy

I do not own Digimon, neither do I know the whereabout of Mr DigiCowboy who seems to have vanished without trace.
*Muffled screams can be heard from a large bag next to AAUK, he picks up a steel chair and hits the bag a couple of times*

Chapter 16 - Operation : Kiwi

The streets were oddly deserted around where Dragomon and Piedmon had emmerged, those people who were around seemed not to notice them. Piedmon had to find that amusing.

They pair had materialised near a beach in the real world for that was where the portal had dropped them. It was very hot and sunny, Dragomon wiped his brow with a large claw, he did not enjoy being in such heat the Dark Ocean was cold compared to this place.

"Where are we Piedmon? My tentacles are starting to droop."

"A complaint of all digimon your age..." The clown muttrered under his breath, then laughed at his own joke. "We are here for one purpose only, and that is to pay someone a visit."

"Do I know them?"

"No."

"Oh, I won't bother with the box of chocolates then."

"You know Dragomon sometimes I worry about you. We are here to take a hostage, or rather I am here to take a hostage. After I have done so you are free to cause whatever havok you wish to this miserable little country."

"Which brings me back to my first point - where are we?"


Wolfie hid behind the steel dustbin, the Tyranomon sniffed at the rim of the adjacent one and growled in satisfaction - it had found the girl's scent. She was close by.

The Tyranomon stalked forward sniffing the air, all the time growling deep in it's throat. It was hungry after all that running, but it remembered Elecmon telling it once that exercise helps build up an appetite. After chasing the girl all this way it was very hungry and he was confident it's prey would not slip through it's big sharp claws again.

(Clank)

A noise? The Tyranomon whirled around to face the bin behind him...

CLANG!

Wolfie hit the Digimon between the eyes with the dustbin lid, for a few seconds it stood dazed before collapsing to the ground unconcious.

"Allright! One up to the Zealander!" She cried danced a jig over the fallen monster then made to run out of the alley. Suddenly a slow handclap started behind her, she slowly turned around to see a harlequin costumed man float out of the shadows.

"A captivating display my dear, oh, captivating - how ironic..."

"Piedmon?" The phantom clown did a small, yet elaborate bow to her.

"Ah the little lady knows my name, how quaint." He grinned displaying his ridiculously pure white teeth.

"I'd hardly call it quaint, what do you want."

"The pleasure of your company for a little performance."

"I think not, my mother always said never accept theatre tickets from evil floaty digimon."

"She did?" Dragomon said suddenly appearing over the wall, "Well let me rephrase Piedmon's question. You are coming with us..." Piedmon drew one of his swords, "...And it's not a request."

Wolfie raised the dustbin lid, "Just you try it buster!"

"Oh I will, I want you for a specific purpose." Piedmon's feet finally decended to the floor and he took two paces towards the writer.

"That don't sound good... you keep your gloved mits to yourself!" Wolfie threw the trash can lid down - and grabbed the trash can instead lifting it above her head ready to throw at the Digimon. Piedmon rubbed his eyes, his voice betraying a hint of impatience.

"To cut a long story short your friends ArchangelUK and Digicowboy are two destined warriors, who's job it is to prevent the Digital World and this world being destroyed as they are mergering." Wolfie raised an eyebrow, "Hence your Tyranomon friend there." The second eyebrow joined the first and they clung onto each other in confusion.

"ArchangelUK?"

"Yes."

"And DC?"

"Yes."

"Are destined to save the world?"

"You know I can only say yes so many times before it gets truly boring." Piedmon said with a hand on his hip, even Dragomon was getting tired of this now.

"You must be joking!" Wolfie burst into laughter and dropped the metal dustbin, she clutched her sides. Piedmon's eyes grew red in annoyance.

"That does it, I am a very busy mon you know. I don't have time for a chit-chat we are needed back in the Dark Ocean. Dragomon - annihilate this pathetic city." Wolfie's laughter instantly stopped,

"Hey, now wait a minute."

"You and I are going for a little trip..." Piedmon waved a hand and the empty dustbin levitated into the air, scooped Wolfie up then the lid jammed down ontop of it.

"Lemmie go you lycra clad dumbarse! Fight fair!" Piedmon waved a finger and the bin became coated in chains, as an afterthought he magiced a gag onto the New Zealander as well. "MMMMPPPPH!!!! MMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"Are you sure the Gatekeeper will try to rescue her?" Dragomon asked, throwing a car into a nearby bakery and sending tyres and bread rolls flying in multiple directions.

"I'm not as sure as I was five minutes ago no..." Piedmon said, rubbing his forehead.

"Thanks Aeth, it's been cooly." DC shook the ancient man's hand, and followed AAUK and the others out of the Traveller Dimension. As they exited Aeth grinned mischeviously, a very exciting life indeed - then he and the whole of Entherial disappeared.

Jun was the first to find themselves back in the real world, falling as she did from about 6ft onto hard tarmac. The others followed with equally bad landing prowess, only the flying Digimon (Patamon, Biyomon and Hawkmon) managed to avoid a bruising. Gatomon landed ontop of TK so she was alright, DC landed ontop of ArchangelUK which didn't really help either of them that much. Izzy groaned from somewhere next to Cody, "Uhhh, if we're gonna keep doing that we've gotta learn how to land. Otherwise we won't be able to stop the Unification for all the bruising."

"Remind me to book into a flight school to learn how to use these things." Angelus groaned shaking his wings loose. "Damnit I lost a feather!" Gatomon, Biyomon, Patamon and Hawkmon nodded in understanding, everyone else just looked blankly.

"Right." DC finally managed, "Shouldn't we be looking for the Toei building to stop this Unification razmatazz?"

"Yeah, let's go." A groggy Tai said, leading the way in the direction he hoped would take them towards the headquarters. They followed walking through surprisingly empty streets, infact - they were completely empty.

"Where'd all the people go?" Mimi asked, walking alongside the Traveller. "It's still midday."

"Maybe they're having a siesta." Yolei said grinning, TK groaned.

"That's Spain Yolei - this is Japan, remember? Where we live?"

"You do have a point Mimi." Kari said and made her way over to a TV shop, a series of news broadcasts was playing but only one had the volume audible.

"What does it say?" DC asked,

"You don't comprehend it?" Izzy asked amazed.

"Well as it's in Japanese..." Angelus rolled his eyes, Patamon and Gatomon sprung up onto his shoulders to get a better view. TK and Kari blinked in surprise.

"I guess the leather is more comfortable." TK said, taking off his hat to see if there was something wrong with it. Izzy joined the two chosen ones at the front of the group as a Japanese man yammered away at breakneck speed.

"I'll translate - 'Millions of people are fleeing for their lives as a trio of large monsters wreak havok and destuction. This creature is currently terrorising Eastern Tokyo.'" A picture flashed up of Devimon destroying a large neon sign, TK made a fist. Izzy continued " 'This monster is causing terrible destruction in Northern Colarado and this one is causing major destruction in central New Zealand. The Governments described their current situation as 'unfortunate'.' " Dragomon was in New Zealand and Daemon was in Colorado.

"Oh brilliant(!)" Angelus muttered, "Can it get any worse?" A beeping noise from his DX signalled that things weren't about to get better.

"It's an email from Piedmon." He said astonished,

"Piedmon?"

Gatekeeper

If you want to see your furry human friend again bring the Digiegg of Miracles to the Dark Ocean. Do not bring your other 'real world' friend with you any deviation will result in her terminaion.

Yours Sincerely,
Piedmon.

(Available for parties and weddings)

"Furry friend?" A puzzled Joe mumbled,

"WOLFIE!" The chosen ones chorused, Angelus growled.

"Oh great. First I'm a resurrected Demi-God who's life as he knows it is a lie, then my friend turns out to the english version of Sam Beckett and now cartoon monsters are threatening my planet!"

"Are you gonna go?" Sora asked appearing beside him.

"I have to don't I."

"Then I'm going with you."

"Me too." Chirruped Biyomon, Angelus grinned.

"Thanks, I might need a 'mon as backup."

"What about Devimon?" Digicowboy asked, fanning himself with his hat.

"Er...where's TK and Patamon?" Gatomon asked suddenly noticing she was Angelus's only 'passenger'.

"Oh no..." Matt muttered. "Don't tell me he's gone after him on his own?"

"Matt, you and Kari go after him." DC delegated, though as both of them were already in full flight after the bearer of hope this perhaps didn't need to be said. "I'll go and take care of Dragomon."

"Count me in." Tai smiled.

"Me and Davis will take care of Daemon."

"Great!" Davis said, "We'll try and track down Willis too, he has the other golden digiegg after all."

"And I have an old score to settle." Ken said, picking up Wormmon who nodded in agreement with his partner.

"So does TK." DC murmured turning to his friend, Angelus drew his sword twirled it around and resheathed it.

"And now so do I."

To Be Continued....

Will Angelus rescue Wolfie? Will Wolfie rescue Angelus? Will Mimi find a shopping mall? Will Joe and Izzy escape the Loch Ness Monster? Where did my snowman go? Why is the sky blue? Will the Toei stock price rise by 3% per quarter? Tune in soon for the answers to these and many other questions in chapter seventeen - SEVENTEEN (How do they do it?) of Digimon - Reality Redux!
