The helicopter was on its way to land on a clearing close to the place where Cloakmon and his minions would be dwelling.
Inside the atmosphere was tense.
- I'm scared….- whispered a blue eyed white girl who was wearing a blue beret with a red dress suited for the cold weather.
- Don't be afraid, Laika, I will protect you. – replied the creature that had released veemon from the bandages.
- Thanks Palmon…..- replied Laika in Russian, inspecting the gadget that Daisy had given her. Daisy was able to speak different languages so she was able to communicate with the people present.
On the back, there was a young boy wearing a blue and white baseball cap.
- This was the fight I was fearing about. – said the yellow furred creature, who had a second blue fur on top that covered his back and most of his head excluding the eyes that were red colored. On his forehead a single long horn projected forward. On his belly he had symbols imprinted on his fur.
- Don't worry, I'm sure that if you fight with all you got, things will be ok. – replied the young man. – Since we came out of Buenos Aires I promised to stick with you and I intend to hold to that promise.
- Thanks Pablo. I am sure that with your help we'll get over this.
- Chill out ! Gabumon, besides, we got this. -said Pablo showing the digivice in his hand.
Just in that moment the helicopter had touched down. Despite being nervous Daisy couldn't help to notice that Henry was typing on his own laptop.
- What are you doing? – asked Daisy.
- Ready! – said Henry very satisfied. – I finished the alternate program.
- Alternate program?
- Yes. – said Henry and then he paused to clear his throat to continue. – You see, before you showed up to rescue us, I noticed that this Cloakmon had the ability to take control of the other Digimon. They obeyed blindly as they were hypnotized. – said Henry concerned. – I am worried that he might block the shifter algorithm leaving us defenseless. That's why I designed a modified version of the algorithm………and now……I'm gonna beam it to every digivice. – said Henry clicking the send command on his laptop.
Henry stood up so everybody would pay attention.
- Listen! I have sent an add-on program to your digivices. If the program that activates with the left button fails, use the right button.
But in that moment the laptop displayed an error message:
------------------------------------------------------
DEVICE FAILURE
Port B manual control disabled.
Only voice activated command available……….
Proceed? Y/N
------------------------------------------------------
- What's happening? – asked Daisy.
- Darn. The device has a conflict with this algorithm and decided to integrate it to the voice command system.
- Voice command? – asked Daisy doing a very funny gesture.
- What? Didn't you notice? – said Henry borrowing one of the digivices and showing Daisy a small cleft with tiny little holes. – This is a microphone. I had the idea of integrating a voice recognition system. I designed it thinking that it would help children learning to read to communicate with a tutor program. – said Henry very nostalgic.
- And so……..? – asked Daisy shaking Henry out of his delusion.
- Don't worry, if program A fails then I'll enable program B.
- Why don't you enable it now?
- Because if I do that, it will record any word we say and save it to its memory bank. If at anytime, anyone used that word the algorithm will activate.
- Ok…..I get it…..- said Daisy putting away her laptop.
- Ok, let's step down and check the terrain.
Somewhere else, Yuki was holding on to her digivice real tight, as the cargo bay doors opened up. A chilly wind found its way inside.
- It's time…..- said Renamon.
- Yes…… - replied Yuki nervously.
Renamon remembered when she was in her world, all alone, wondering around as she pleased when she received the distress call from Tentomon. She ran to the place where the rest were gathered and found them very concerned.
She had heard that Patamon had taken off to look for Tentomon but neither of them had come back.
- What happened here? – asked Renamon at that time.
- Patamon went away and he has not come back, but what we suspected turned out to be true. – replied Gabumon. They took them to the outer limit.
- To the outer limit!!! – said Renamon. – That's insane!!!
- I know. But I'm thinking to go there by myself to rescue them.
- I'll go with you. – said Armadillomon.
- Biyomon left with them……..I have to help her. – said Palmon joining the search party.
Everybody turned their pathetic gaze at Renamon.
- Would you go with us????? Pleeeeeease??? – pleaded Palmon.
- Me? But, I belong to the group of Digimon beasts. Cloakmon could destroy me if I help you.
- But, you are the strongest Digimon there is………come with us….- said everybody in a pitiful tone of voice.
- Ok, I'll go. – said Renamon lowering her arms in resignation. – Let's hope I don't regret this………….
The chilly wind made her come back to the present.
Close to them, were TJ and Agumon.
- Don't you dare to order me around. Got it!!?? – said Agumon.
- Chill out. We're a team.
- Good, because I don't need you snooping around. I'm gonna teach them a lesson for having humiliated me like that. – growled Agumon.
Yamaki took the binoculars and joined the rest of the group. They walked into the woods among dried, withered trees until they got to a spot where there was a line of bushes that blocked the visibility to the other side.
