Liberation
Shuffling feet scurry across the darkened streets, like rats hiding in the darkest, dankest pits of the massive utopia of steel and metal. It was reaching an ungodly hour and most of the city was already fast asleep. But for 2 children and their Digimon, the night was just beginning. Henry, Rika, Renamon, and Terriermon silently lay outside the building's front doors. It was this same building that they had been told was holding Takato prisoner.
Though their unknown helper had left little information regarding their enemy, the children had already had a taste of this mad man's wickedness. Henry silently whispered to his group "Okay guys here's the plan, we use this card to sneak into the building and past the security guards. If any of them see us, Terriermon and Renamon will take them out". Rika frowned "Hold on, how do we even know this card thing is really going to work?".
Annoyingly, Henry responded "This stuff has gotten us this far, I think we can trust whoever's helping us". But the young girl still seemed unconvinced, Rika slowly hopped up onto Renamon's shoulder. Terriermon gasped "Hey what are you guys doing? There going to see you". The fox Digimon shook her head "Not if I head to the top, I saw a skylight on top of the building. We can use that to break right in and drop down right inside".
Henry rubbed his face with frustration, he couldn't believe he was actually hearing this insanity. "Are you nuts? If you bust through that skylight, the whole city is going to hear you including the guards" Henry said. Rika shrugged "Then try both plans, if you guys make it in then we'll just head back down and follow you in. If they spot you, then we can take them by surprise by jumping through the skylight". Henry had no choice it seemed.
Reluctantly Terriermon and Henry agreed "Fine, but make sure you guys stay quiet and NO killing. Remember these guys aren't Digimon, there human beings. Just knock them out and then move on. The faster we find Takato, the quicker we can get out of there before something terrible happens to him or us". The team nodded and quickly went into positions, the boys headed towards the door and the girls headed for the building's roof.
Stealthily approaching the dimly lit front doors, Henry and Terriermon tried their best to remain undetected. Two security guards stood guard at the main entrance to the lobby. "Here goes nothing" Henry whispered as he slashed the keycard into the slot. The door beeped green and unlocked the door, the two quickly ducked inside. The boy and Digimon pressed their backs to the marble deck of the first guard, after checking the coat they dashed again.
CRASH! Terriermon squeaked at that sound, his long bunny ears had accidentally gotten caught on a large plant vase. The Digimon's ears forced it to drop down and break. The guards jumped from their seats and aimed their guns at the sound's source, "FREEZE RIGHT THERE" they shouted. Though the shadows of Henry and Terriermon were visible, the boys remained shrouded in silence. The guards however were not as silent.
"Come on out with your hands up or else, on the count of three……1……2" the guard began. Terriermon suddenly leapt out and shouted "BUNNY BLAST", a green energy blast struck down the officer. The Digimon then fired another at the second guard, striking him down as well. "All right, way to go Terriermon" Henry cheered. The Digimon bashfully blushed "Heh it was nothing Henry". BANG! A bullet struck near the Digimon's paw feet.
Behind the two boys was at least a dozen of security guards, and all each had their weapons firmly directed to Henry. "I don't miss twice junior, now you and the costumed kid get them hands up and do it NOW" the guard ordered. With little options available, Terriermon and Henry had no choice to surrender. CRASH! A massive scream of shattering glass suddenly erupted from the ceiling. The guards looked up and screamed in fear, "LOOK OUT".
"Diamond Storm" Renamon boomed. The feisty female fox blasted her diamond attack down upon the guards, gliding right along side the shattered shards of the skylight's windows. The shower of shards sliced into the guard's hands and guns. In mere seconds, Renamon had completely and successfully disarmed every guard of his gun with 1 attack. The furry Digimon landed right in the center of the guards, grinning "Evening boys".
BOOM! WHAM! SLAM! Renamon's furry fists and feet slammed into the guards faces before they could even blink; they were down and out within a matter of moments. "Wow that was like watching James Bond with fur" Henry exclaimed, Renamon blinked "James who?". Rika entered from the doorway behind the gang, smirking proudly "Save the chat guys, we've got a friend to save". With that said, Terriermon and Renamon lead the way.
Meanwhile……
"Huh?" Tallos blinked as he noticed a flashing red light on his monitor computer, the agent turned away from Takato. Index finger claws type onto the machine's keyboard as Tallos activates the security cameras. The man gasped spotting the 2 children and their Digimon, they were heading right for him. Tallos grinned "Mmmmm how yummy, we've got some visitors". The FBI agent quickly crunched the keyboard's keys, activating the radio.
"Deacons this is Tallos, order an immediate evacuation of all personal at once, I want every guard, scientist, and employee out of here now" Tallos said. A baffled Deacons responded "WHAT, b-b-but sir we've got intruders in the building, I can't just". Tallos growled "You can and you WILL, I don't need any help in dealing with a couple of children and their stupid pets. This is my project and I've come too far to let them stop me now".
Deacons sighed "As you wish sir, we'll evacuate the building at once, Deacons out". The radio signal died as now Tallos was left completely alone with Takato. The wicked man chuckled "Excellent, everything is going according to plan. Now all I need to do is wait, wait and then spring my little trap on those sniveling babies and solve both my problems at once". Staggering from the operating table, Takato was listening to Tallos, barely.
"Wa……wait, w-w-wait what do you mean both problems?" Takato wheezed. Every inch of the body's body ached with unbearable pain. Scars, burn marks, cut marks, scorched flesh, open wounds, Takato was a mess and every single scar carried its own agonizing pains. Tallos simply replied "Why it's very simple, you see the FBI is putting a lot of cash up for this project. So there for, it is my job to make sure that this project is successful.
And to do that, I will of course need test subjects. Thanks to your gift, the Lazarus is nearing completion and soon will be fully charged to create the first digital soldier. Plus I've got a back up gadget that also needs testing, just in case. This way I'm getting rid of your miserable friends and testing my projects out at the same time. I'm killing 2 birds with 1 stone Mr. Matsuki, and you're the stone". The evil Tallos burst with maniacal laughter.
BANG!
Suddenly a stray bullet flew across Tallos face, the man's silvery eyes widened across his 4 set glasses. The agent looked down from his platform, high from the ground so that he could experiment on Takato with privacy. There, below the demented mad man was Rika, Gargomon, Kyuubimon, and Henry, all angry and ready to rescue their friends and stop Tallos cold.
Tallos grinned "Well now……LOOK WHO'S COME TO PLAY!".
Henry scowled "We didn't come to play Tallos, were here to get our friends back".
"And were not leaving until we get them back, so why don't you just hand them over and make it easy pal" Rika added.
Tallos laughed "What a pleasant surprise to see you Ms. Nonaka……alive. Looks like I'll have to drop you off a higher building this time. And Mr. Wong is here as well, splendid, tell me how is sweet little Suzy doing these days?".
The boy shouted "You shut your mouth right now. We came here for Takato and Guilmon, so you better give them up or else…..".
"Or else WHAT? Your going to sick your cybernetic play mates on me? HA, you don't stand a chance; you have no idea of who or what I am" Tallos immediately interrupted.
Rika frowned "I've heard enough of this, Kyuubimon?"
Kyuubimon nodded "With pleasure".
The fiery tailed fox leapt her burning paws into full gear, leaping towards the wall below Tallos mechanical platform. Tallos smiled the moment the fiery fox approached the wall.
BZZZT!
"AHHHHH!" the golden fox screamed
Rika gasped "Kyuubimon!".
A massive force of bright electrical light literally fried the female Digimon right off the wall, the sight of a massive electrical force field appeared.
Tallos mocked "High density reinforced super electro magnetically charged force field. Completely impervious to all outside attacks, physical, electrical, and even from Digimon. This way I won't be having any interruptions from you".
Hatefully Henry cursed "You rotten little coward (clutches fists in anger), quit hiding and give us back our friends".
The fallen Digimon whimpered in pain at the stinging sensations of the electrical wall, Kyuubimon wobbled up to her paws with Rika's help.
Rika hissed coldly "You slimy chicken. What's the matter, afraid to fight a bunch of little kids? A grown man who works for the FBI is afraid to fight children? HA".
Tallos frowned "I fail to see the honor in 1 man battling against 2 monsters and 2 children alone, so pardon my ignorance. But don't worry (grins) if it's a fight you want then far be it from me to disappoint you".
The FBI agent removed something from his dark silver coat pocket, his index clawed fingers revealed a remote control device. Tallos pressed a red button on the device. Immediately a steel door started to rise up, a door located right next to the children and their Digimon below the platform.
"Don't worry Henry (loads gun arms) I'm loaded and ready for action" Gargomon said, reassuring his tamer.
The bubbling energy chemicals pulsating inside the Lazarus caught Tallos eye, the machine hasn't reached full power yet. This was most upsetting as Tallos hadn't planned on the machine taking this long to be fully charged.
Tallos: Since my Lazarus pit is still cooking up my future Digimon armada, what say we finish this little game your way, Digimon vs. Digimon.
The red headed girl laughed "You must be off your rocker Tallos, were the only ones with Digimon around here".
"On the contrary, I've got JUST the Digimon your looking for" Tallos said.
The door revealed a dark small room, similar to a holding cell one might say. The shadows brought forth a large, hunched, lumbering red creature. All eyes and ears were focused on this mysterious creature from the unknown.
Rika gasped "Oh my god".
Henry blinked "What the?".
The creature was revealed to be a child sized red reptile, with bat wing like ears and golden eyes. On the creature's back was a massive piece of machinery. The machine was in fact a miniature computer back pack, pulsating raw electrical wires into the reptile's sides. Massive antenna like devices wavered curiously in the air, as if picking up waves all around it. The machine extended its connections to a small white collar like device.
The reptile's neck was securely fashioned by this collar; a small radio box was seen at the center of it. Right over his left claw was a small robotical boxing glove. But, the device was actually a miniature weapon container, capable of supplying the creature with an endless arsenal. And what is the name of this creature? Why it is none other then……
Everyone stared blankly "Guilmon?".
Tallos laughed "Say hello to experiment #28 HA, HA, HA, HA, HA".
