(I still don't own Digimon, remember. I just own this story.)
The sun shone brightly on a warm day in Odaiba. Daisuke Motomiya lay atop of grassy green hill on the outside of town. He was resting up from the recent battle, and he needed to clear his head. "Those Virus Hackers sure are strong and crafty... What do they hope to achieve anyway? Why would anyone want to down Digital Star Network? It doesn't make sense..."
"Terrorists usually have the strangest or most mysterious motives. You should now that by now." Takeru had suddenly appeared, and sat down beside his friend.
"Some people fear any new technology. It's laughable how people can hate what they don't understand..." Ken had also arrived on the scene and joined them in their conversation. "Their attacking like we're trying to launch nuclear weapons into space..."
"Hey, Ken..." Daisuke pointed to Ken's face. "What happened to your forehead?" Ken had a blood soaked bandage wrapped around his head as Daisuke pointed to him.
"Oh, this bandage? Ugh... A MAMEMON ambushed me, and his smiley bomb went right at STINGMON's head. I ended up getting this little gash, because of the impact..."
"MAMEMON... Those little buggers can pack a wallop..." Takeru laughed. "Believe me; I've been on the receiving end of their tricks..." He lifted up his shirt and showed all the scars and bruises he had.
Daisuke flashed his arms, which had evidence of first degree burns. "I was involved in a lot of fire, and I've got these burns to prove it... When I turn up the heat, I mean I REALLY turn up the heat."
The three young soldiers compared their war scars like they were badges of honor, and it continued throughout the afternoon.
In Earth's orbit, within the Shield Castle, the Virus Hackers seemed to be busy with things, as they healed and repaired. Others were involved with a brand new plan, to thwart Digital Star Network. Within the war room, there was a small conference going on...
At the head of the table, a tall blond man, sporting sunglasses, and had a grim look on his face, was looking at the ones seated around him. He was constantly flicking open and closed a lighter as he spoke. "Well... Since our assassination attempt was an utter failure, we must think of a new plan. Sergeant Hikari has provided us with a new plan."
Hikari stood up, 3 chairs off the right of the blond man. "Thank you Mr. Yamaki. I propose that I, along with 7 other female operatives, should go down undercover. We can infiltrate the Digital Knights HQ, and eliminate their top operatives. With them gone, we can easily crush the Digital Knights, and leave Odaiba Industries defenseless..."
A red haired boy of 23 years shot up immediately. "NO! Why is it that only females are chosen for this assignment?! This sounds like nothing more than something from a James Bond Movie! This is real life, and that plan is far too predictable!"
Hikari scowled. "Listen, Lieutenant Hibiki. Just hear me out and..."
"NO! Your plan is far too trite, and cliché! Of course this is to be expected of you Sergeant. You ma'am are merely a mediocre soldier, and you have no idea of the intensity of the battle field. I also heard that you planned to involve my sister Sora..."
"I agree." A green haired boy of 20 stood up. "Hikari, as your superior, I must state that you have had no frontline experience in battle, as you are merely are an intelligence gatherer. I am afraid I cannot allow this plan as you may endanger some of our female members."
Hikari exploded. "YOU THINK, JUST BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN, THAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF WAR?! IS THAT IT MAJOR FUJIKO?!"
"No... I'm saying you don't have enough battlefield experience." Fujiko said calmly. "Now, if you don't mind..."
Hikari did not want to hear another word. She turned on her heel, and stormed out of the war room.
Yamaki sighed. "Such a short fuse..."
Hibiki groaned. "How she ever got this high up in the force is beyond me...
"She'll get over it, she's young. I just don't want her to be endangered." Fujiko explained. "Besides, maybe the 'criticism' might invoke some take- charge action from her..."
Hikari threw the door open into her room and flung her self on the bed. She growled to herself as she clutched one of her stuffed animals. "I may be just a young girl..." She muttered to herself. "But I'm not dumb... Why are they so quick to judge...?" She sat up from her bed, and put down the stuffed animal. Standing up, she walked towards the door to her bathroom. She opened the door and pulled off her shirt over her head and threw it on the floor. She popped the buttons on her pants and let them slide down to her ankles, leaving her only in her white bra and panties. Kneeling against the sink, looking down at the floor, she sighed. "I wonder what Tai is thinking of now. Does he remember me? What on earth is he fighting for down there? What does he believe in, by promoting Digital Star Network?"
Back on Earth, Tai was doing some contemplating of his own. He leaned against the railing on the boardwalk, overlooking the vast ocean before him. The crystal blue ocean looked so calm and gentle today. Everything looked as it should, ignorant of a secret war that would be inevitable. Ever since he became a Digital Knight, Tai felt that he had gained a new family, to replace the one that was taken away. He felt surrounded by ones who were turkey his friends. Everyone in this world had roots to come from, and grow by... But to Tai, he had no roots. All he knew was that, on the inside, he was just a lonely guy... He felt an emptiness inside of him, that couldn't even be nullified by the excitement he felt from the Digital Star project.
At his own quarters, Takato was scanning everything on the internet. He was looking all over for anything on "Virus Hackers." He wanted to make sure, that the Digital Knights had enough information to give them an edge, and protect their prized work. He mostly found some articles from newspapers and magazines that merely talked about the crimes they had committed which all seemed to be political. There didn't seem to be anything about the members of the group. Takato was not about to give up, as he exited the site, and continued searching... Suddenly, a chat invitation came up, just as he was about to leave the portion of the site. He read the screen name, ICE QUEEN. Curious, he clicked on it.
GALLANT KNIGHT: Ohiyo.
ICE QUEEN: What's up, Loverboy? I saw your account name searching through these articles.
GALLANT KNIGHT: Just searching out of interest. You ever heard of the "Virus Hackers?"
ICE QUEEN: Virus Hackers? The infamous resistance group?
GALLANT KNIGHT: Ah, so you've heard of them... It's not just some fun research for me. I'm researching for benefit of the Digital Knights.
ICE QUEEN: NANI?! DIGITAL KNIGHTS?! You mean you're part of that special force unit that's been protecting Odaiba for years?!
Takato figured there'd be no harm in telling this girl who he was, being a naïve person, and a little to trusting. He figured she was just an average high school girl probably doing a report.
GALLANT KNIGHT: Hai. I'm the leader of Squad C... Name's Takato Matsuki. But could you keep it a secret... I'm not that into publicity. laughs
ICE QUEEN: giggles I can relate to that Loverboy. Do you have a picture of yourself?
Takato figured that there would be no harm in showing this girl, his picture. He found a picture file of himself, in civilian clothing. He put the file on send and waited.
ICE QUEEN: I got the file. Hey, you're pretty cute... wink
Takato blushed slightly at the comment. He then noticed a picture file being sent to him. He clicked upon it once it finished downloading. When it was brought up, he was met with the picture of a girl, about his age. She had lavender eyes, strawberry red hair that was let down around her, her face was beautiful and angelic, yet tough and confident at the same time. Her body was quite voluptuous and well toned. She looked liked she could kick someone's ass. She was dressed in a pair of cut-off jean short- shorts with a loose hanging belt, and a small white/yellow/green t-shirt, with a broken heart on it. The shirt could have covered her completely, but her slightly large breasts, made it ride up a few inches, exposing her navel. "Holy crap... I'm chatting with a knockout."
GALLANT KNIGHT: Whoa...
ICE QUEEN: Heh, heh... You like, huh? I see you're a fan of tomboy, punk girls.
GALLANT KNIGHT: Well, I always did like a girl who's hot, and could kick some ass. Bet the guys are either turned on or terrified by you.
ICE QUEEN: Heh... A little of both, and sometimes I could barley stay interested. But, there's something about you... You seem different from the rest.
GALLANT KNIGHT: Maybe we should meet sometime in person? I live in the Odaiba District.
ICE QUEEN: What a coincidence. I live there too.
GALLANT KNIGHT: So, where should we meet? How about the outside of Odaiba Industries?
ICE QUEEN: Sounds cool. I'll be there at 4, Earth Time. Whoops, I gotta go. Ja ne, for now, Loverboy... Oh, my name's Ruki Makino, don't forget
ICE QUEEN HAS LOGGED OUT
GALLANT KNIGHT HAS LOGGED OUT
After Takato logged out, it sunk in... He was going on an actual date... "Well, she was tough, but kinda flirty... I wonder what I'm gonna be in store for...?" He wanted to know about this, Ruki Makino.
Elsewhere, Ruki had shot off her computer, getting off of the chatline. She stretched up to the ceiling, yawning at the same time. Getting up, and adjusting her green tank top, she looked at the notepad at the side of her desk...that had the listed names of Digital Knight Members. The Virus Hacker Captain had been given a copy from Hikari a few hours ago, and she seemed a bit interested in the DUKEMON pilot, Takato. "Hmm... He seems worth going after, for a Digital Knight. He had no idea who he was talking to. He's so Naïve. Maybe I'll have some fun with him first... He did seem a far cry from typical guys, though... A far cry from Ryo... Takato here might be just what I need..."
A knock was heard at her door, and a male voice called out.
"Captain Makino? Sorry to disturb you, but Major Fujiko requests your presence."
Ruki smiled devilishly and walked up to the door, opening it wide, fully aware she was wearing nothing but her tank top and a pair of green panties. "I'm not disturbed, why doesn't he just come in and see me himself? Hm?"
The young soldier was taken aback from the sight of Captain Makino, clad in only her underwear, and fainted.
Ruki smirked. She enjoyed her bad girl status in the Virus Hackers, and certainly lived up to her reputation. "Let's see if Takato can handle me any better..."
(Uh oh, Takato is in for it... What's he gonna do when he finds out? What other surprises await the other members of the Digital Knights? RR)
