Initiation

The simple city continued on with its daily duties, thousands of citizens crossing the street, driving their cars, all going about their lives casually. Blissfully unaware that a pair of sinister eyes preyed upon the city like a drooling vulture. The massive skyscrapers continue to hide its secretive guests, the very same guests that were spying upon the world itself. Hundreds of black suited men and women rushed around frantically.

Inside a towering fortress of steel and metal were agents, secret agents hired specifically by the FBI to investigate the recent "phenomenons". Digimon, the digital monsters that have been causing nothing but chaos and confusion. With the lack of success from Hypnos and Yamaki, the government decided it was time to take a different approach to this problem. A tall grey haired young man approached the supposed leader of this group, the man turned.

"I trust that's the information I've been patiently waiting for Mr. Deacons?" the man asked.

Deacons nodded "Yes sir it just arrived (scratches grey hair as thinks) about 6 minutes ago".

The stranger replied "Then proceed Mr. Deacons".

"Yes sir, we have successfully compiled all data files on the 3 requested targets. We have their birth dates, home addresses, backgrounds, and all other forms of biological information pertaining to all 3 targets families" Deacons said.

"Any new information regarding our primary objective?" the stranger asked.

Deacons sighed "No sir, no new information has been gathered regarding that. The scientists speculate only after successfully completing our primary task will we learn if our venture is a success or a failure sir".

A half disappointed sigh escaped the stranger "So much for the easy way out".

The strange, mysterious man tapped his 2 long index finger claws upon the arm of his black chair. Tapping and clicking his claws upon the chair's arm as the man pondered and pondered.

"Awe what the hell I need the exercise. Deacons, prepare my limo and make sure Carter brings his "special" equipment along" the stranger chuckled.

Deacons blinked curiously "Sir?", the stranger smiled "It's time to see what were dealing with".


The apartment door closed shut as Henry entered his home, "Hey whoever's here I'm home" Henry said. The boy entered the kitchen and blinked at sight of a white piece of paper on the fridge. "Dear kids, went grocery shopping, be back later, try not to kill each other, love mom and dad" Henry read. The pattering sound of little feet soon came rushing towards the Digimon Tamer. Henry blinked as he felt Terriermon frantically yanking on his pants leg.

"Save me from her Henry, I can't take much more of this" Terriermon pleaded. The Tamer picked up his digital friend and gasped in horror, the bunny creature was completely plastered with make up, a diaper, baby rattle, and every other piece of baby clothing. Henry sighed "You know I ought to leave you like that after all those jokes you said bout Suzy, she almost heard you". Terriermon whimpered "Awe come on it was just a joke, just a joke".

"Well when my parents blame me for it I kind of lost the humor behind it" Henry said. Another figure was approaching, "Hey where'd the baby go, it's time for his diaper change" Suzie said. Sweat drops poured over the rabbit eared Digimon's head, any second now Suzy would find him. "OKAY I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but please don't let her change me again, I'm going crazy here" Terriermon pleaded. Suzy stopped as she saw her brother by the door.

Terriermon froze still and dropped to the ground, repeating his lifeless doll performance for Suzy's sake. "There Terriermon is AWE I've been wooking all over for you" Suzy said innocently. The young girl hugged the Digimon doll tightly, unaware she was gagging Terriermon quite painfully. "All right, I think that's enough of the barbaric baby treatment for one night" Henry said as he took Terriermon back, walking off with him into his room.

The door closed and Henry sighed, Terriermon groaned "I thought I was a goner, I hope I never see the color pink again". Laughter escaped Henry's smiling lips, sighing with ease "Get used to it were gonna be here a while. Mom and dad are out shopping so it's just gonna be you, me and Suzy". Terriermon shuddered "EEP jeez don't remind me". They both burst with laughter that is, until a rather loud knocking came upon their front door.

"I'll get it" Suzy chimed as she happily ran towards the door; Henry however stopped her and grabbed the doorknob first. "Get real you can't even reach the doorknob yet" Henry stated, the girl simply laughed and spat her tongue childishly at him. The boy opened the door and immediately froze, young eyes unable to recognize this very strange looking man. First thing Henry noticed was the 2 curved index finger claws on his left hand.

The man smiled "Good evening Mr. Wong, I hope I haven't come at a bad time". Henry just stared at the man, confused at his choice of words and his even more questionable appearance. "Uh sorry to disappoint you mister but I'm not" Henry started, the man quickly cut him off "Oh yes you are Mr. Wong. I'm not here searching for your father, when I say Mr. Wong I mean you of course". The man said pointing his claws directly at Henry's face.

The young boy kept his hand firmly gripped over the doorknob, already feeling his heart beat wildly with fear. "Oh……okay well……how can I uh help you?" Henry asked, tempted to just slam the door shut and lock it as fast as he could. Something about this man filled Henry with nothing but dread and terror, preying he wasn't as dangerous as he looked. Once more Henry spoke albeit nervously "Uh so what's your name? Have we met?".

The man laughed "No we've never met before, yet isn't it funny how I know so, so, SO much about you already. Do you mind if I come in?" the man stepped forward, Henry pressed the door forward stopping the man's foot. Sweat dribbled off the side of Henry's frightened face. "Yes I do actually" the boy said firmly, the man replied mockingly "Not very polite now are you? Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders Mr. Wong?".

Henry frowned "Oh they did, they also taught me never to talk to strangers and you're about as strange as they come". Dark laughter escaped the man "Now that's rich, I'm the strange one. Funny though, I would think flying tigers, electric roosters, and overgrown reptiles that hide in subways would be even stranger, wouldn't you agree?". The Tamer gasped, "How the hell does this wacko know about the Digimon Devas?" Henry thought to himself.

"I think a heard a few memory bells just clang, and of course you have no recollections about such things as……Digimon now would you?" the man said with a sly mocking tone. A cheerful young voice popped between Henry and the man, the sweet girl Suzy smiled happily at her brother. "Hey who you talking to out here for so long, is it daddy, is it?" Suzy chirped. The man smiled as he looked to Suzy "Why hello there sweet little girl".

Almost immediately upon reaction, Henry shoved Suzy back behind him and shut the door. "You even so much as look at her again and I will personally end you" Henry hissed. The man simply continued to smile "Now that sounds like a threat Mr. Wong, a threat coming from a 13 year old boy I might add". Terriermon remained faithfully right behind the door, ready and waiting to aid his tamer should things get hairy. The 2 locked eyes silently.

"Now Mr. Wong what do you say we get down to business before certain children's siblings become involved with certain violent consequences" the man hissed. Tight fingers clutched in Henry's small hands, small but still angry and brave enough to inflict some damage if need be. The man frowned "Tell me his secret, tell me right now, TELL ME, tell me about Takato Matsuki?". Henry blinked a baffled response "Takato? What about him?

What the hell do you want with Takato, and what do you mean by his secret?". The vibrating hum of an elevator engine startled the two, someone was coming up to this very apartment floor. "Now answer my huh?" Henry gasped, the man was gone. The tamer looked around in complete confusion, seeing no sign, no shadows, no evidence of the man even existing anywhere around him. The elevator doors open up to reveal Henry's mother and father.

"Hey son, what are you doing out here so late?" Henry's father asked. Meanwhile as Henry decided to keep the secret of the mysterious man to himself for now, the very same person was granting someone else a visit. Set in the surrounding of a school playground, the stranger's next visit involved 2 very familiar looking boys. "Whoa dude cool outfit, who's your tailor Dracula or Freddy Krueger?" Kazu laughed as he looked upon the man.

Kenta cringed fearfully at sight of the stranger, feeling more nervous by the second, wincing every time the man flexed his finger claws. "Your friends of Mr. Matsuki correct?" the man asked, the boys blinked oddly at that name. Kazu idly scratched his pointy brown hair "Mr. Matsuki? You mean Takato right? Uh yeah I guess you could call us that". The curious yet frightened Kenta forced himself to ask "Are you a friend of the family?

Like does he know you from somewhere?", no answer returned the boy's curious question. The man stood there bathed in the darkness of the night, a glimmering flash of light emanating from what looked like glasses the man was wearing. Kazu and Kenta moved to the side but were quickly cornered by the man. "Uh could you like move and stuff buddy?" Kazu asked. The man snarled and jammed his finger claw blades over the boy's heads.

The blades jammed deep into the crackling wood of the wounded tree. "I hope you'll forgive my lack of manners but I'm on a tight schedule, and I'm not in the mood for games" the man said. Kazu and Kenta gulped. Fearing for their lives the boys nodded, a smile formed on the man's face at their obvious wide eyed terror filled state. The stranger continued "Divulge what I want divulged and this can go smoothly, defy me and well……you know.

Tell me everything you know about Mr. Matsuki, tell me the secret he has with his Digimon creature". Kenta gasped "How do you know about MMM", Kazu quickly silenced his friend's mouth by covering it with his hand. It was shocking enough to know this man is familiar with Digimon, but Kazu didn't want him to learn anything more about Takato or Guilmon. "HEY what was he saying? Tell me right now or I'll" the man then stopped.

A massive burst of red light scorched the skies near a construction site, children's voices could be heard. "What the hell is?" the man gasped, by the time he had looked around both of the boys had already disappeared. Fury enraged behind the man's glasses, he screamed scornfully "DAMMIT". "Pyro Blaster" a voice said before blasting a fire ball towards another voice. Forgetting the boys, the man quickly made his way to the construction site.

Inside the massive arena of twisted metal, digging machinery, and up heaved Earth, were 2 children and 3 VERY large monsters. One of the monsters was a massive red dinosaur with a white Mohawk, the second was a yellow fox with 9 tails with fiery tips on each one. The last monster was an even larger uglier dinosaur, except it was green and had 2 gigantic black colored horns. The man gasped as he saw the children command 2 of the monsters.

"All right Kyuubimon let's show Tuskmon who he's really dealing with" the girl Rika said. The beautiful fiery fox leapt into the air with grace and speed, easily dodging the large horned reptile. "Fox Tail Inferno" Kyuubimon shouted. Massive balls of fire blasted from the fox Digimon's tail, slamming into Tuskmon's face. The massive monster shrugged them off and snapped his jaws at Kyuubimon, trying desperately to bite or strike the fox down.

Takato looked nervously to Rika "This isn't looking so good, we need to wait for Henry's help Rika". The girl frowned to the boy "Go ahead and wait for him goggle eyes, I on the other hand would like to stay alive". BAM! Growlmon smashed his red reptilian body into Tuskmon, tackling him to the ground. "You stay down like a good bad Digimon" Growlmon snorted, the green dinosaur growled in response "Tusk Slam" and impaled Growlmon.

The massive black horns painfully jabbed Growlmon in the chest, again and again. Takato's Digimon stumbled back as he fell onto his red tailed behind. "OW that really hurt my tummy" Growlmon moaned, Takato ran to his Digimon but was immediately blocked by Tuskmon. "Oh crap (gulp) this can't be good" Takato uttered, staring down the drooling, widening jaws of the furious Tuskmon. Rika growled in disgust "Stupid little goggle head".

Kyuubimon leapt at Tuskmon and sank her fox fangs into his neck, the monster roared as he violently shook himself to remove the Digimon. "Do it now Growlmon, take out his horns" Kyuubimon said. Takato removed a card from his deck and slashed it across his Digivice, "Digi-modify……power activate" Takato said. Growlmon roared to life with fully recharged strength. Tuskmon finally knocked Kyuubimon off his back, and turned to Growlmon.

"Spiral Horns" Tuskmon growled, "Dragon Slash" Growlmon said in return. SHINK! Growlmon's super charged energy slash attack cleaved Tuskmon's horns right off, Tuskmon roared in agony. With Growlmon and Kyuubimon still fully charged and armed for battle, Tuskmon knew he could not win this fight. The dinosaur brute turned tail and immediately attempted to escape. "How pitiful, Kyuubimon, finish him" Rika said completely without mercy.

The fox Digimon looked directly above the exit to the site, there was a large steel crate attached to a crane machine. "Dragon Wheel" Kyuubimon said. The flaming dragon attack soared right over Tuskmon and struck the crane's rope, it fried the crate free from the machine's restraints. Tuskmon screamed as the crate dropped down and crushed the monster into digital dust. The man watched every second of this awesome event in complete and total awe.

A few moments pass and Growlmon reverted back to Guilmon, along with Kyuubimon reverting back to Renamon. "Way to go boy you really whooped him good" Takato said cheerfully. Guilmon bashfully laughed "That was fun, only now I'm hungry again". The young tamer laughed along side his Digimon, but suddenly realized what Rika had commanded Kyuubimon to do. It dawned on the young boy how particularly cold that was of Rika to do.

"Say uh Rika?" Takato asked, the girl groaned "What is it now bread boy? I'm trying to enjoy our victory without listening to any stupid questions". The young tamer shrugged "I was just thinking don't you feel that was a little uh……cold how you finished off Tuskmon. I mean I know he was a bad Digimon but, that was a bit extreme even for you". Rika frowned "This isn't playtime pee wee this is war, and in war you either kill or get killed".

Takato sighed "Yeah but he was already defenseless, without those horns we could have easily beaten him without crushing him like a bug". Rika laughed "You really are a wimp. Don't you get it, LETHAL attacks demand LETHAL responses. These Digimon are starting the fights, and they'd rather eat you for breakfast then show you any mercy". Takato growled "But that doesn't mean you have to be just like them, what you just did was cold.

You didn't beat him, you annihilated him. Even bad Digimon don't deserve that kind of punishment, it's that kind of sympathy that makes us better then them and". Rika immediately cut him off "WRONG, your wrong goggle head, there is no WE or US. There is just you and me. Consider me your friend if you like, but I'm no one's pal Takato. I don't need friends who get squeamish if they get a little blood on their hands, I don't need dead weight.

From now on you and Henry can fight all the battles you want your own way, see how long you last fighting like a Care bear. Meanwhile us real bears will get the job done our way, the REAL way". Rika and Renamon quickly left the construction site, leaving Takato and Guilmon in the lonely shadows of the night. Completely unaware of the man's sinister smile, smiling ever so wickedly "That's interesting, that's VERY interesting".
