Chapter 11
He looks through every report that was on his deck, this was beginning to remind him a little too much of what he did for the GL. He sighs as he finishes looking for the right one. It was the one about land mass dislocation in a different reality where the same spell hit. He plans on making copies of it and send it to the locals. Letting them see just what kind of damage has happened to the other realities outside of the Stalker controlled ones. He hopes that it has the right effect of answering their questions.
Sighing he looks to see Ray and Oro looking at him. "I found that report that might get the locals off our backs for a few days. So, how's training?" He asks them. "Going well, though I felt something odd happen before lunch." Oro says, and he looks over at Ray. Ray just shrugs, answering that his didn't know as well. "So anything other then that feeling?" He asks. "I think other magic types have felt the same thing." Ray says, Oro nods in agreement. He looks closely at Oro, the RuneGabumon meets his eyes and he then sighs. "If you want to report it, then you have my approval. I'm heading to get this report copied. And if you see Fenir or Mane, tell them about this feeling as well." He says and they nod, then they leave and he heads to get the report copied.
After dropping off that report, he heads to the mess hall to eat lunch. Messages between Takato and the Legendary Warriors and him have been going strong. He sent the first message and it had been Takato who answered. Then he replied and Tommy answered. He had gotten answers from each at less once, not from J.P. though for J.P. was on a mission. He felt great relief with Takato and his friends being reachable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been a day since Takato Digivolved; they didn't have a name for his champion form yet. He was looking through a message from Guyver. They had decided to take turns answering Guyver's messages; only J.P. hadn't got a chance to answer. After he finishes reading, he begins to type his answer, mostly telling about Takato Digivolving to champion. He finishes writing after about ten minutes and then looks through it, and he corrects spelling and added a bit more to a description. He finish going through it twice and then hits send.
He gets up and leaves the Com-Room. He heads to see if Ken wants to do something, like play a game or just talk. Davis and them aren't back yet, so Takuya, T.K., Ryo, and him have been including Ken in activates. It was Ryo that was usually with Ken, even if Ryo was the same age as Ken, Ken sees him as an older brother. They don't know why that is or how Ken and Ryo know each other either. They didn't ask, and Ken and Ryo never talked about it.
He finds Ken with Wormon at the supply warehouse. That's where you go to get a food that's not usually in the refrigerator up in their kitchen area. He had remember what Tommy had said about the time they were trying to come up with a better burger, and that either Takuya or Kouji made an eatable burger. So he did most of the cooking, Kouji could cook, he just likes to improvise on what he was making. He has been dropping hints about Kouji not improvising on the meal.
Wormon spots him before Ken did. He walks over to where Ken was and notices the items in the boxes. "Need help?" He asks the holder of Kindness. Ken answers, "If you wouldn't mind." He picks up one of the boxes and watches as Wormon Digivolves into Stingmon to help carry more of the boxes. Ken carries one medium size box and then two smaller ones. They then head for the elevators and Ken shifts the boxes a bit to push the button.
They move out of the way for the group coming out of the elevator. Them Stingmon goes in first and then they do. Ken pushes for the right floor and the doors close. They don't speak as they go up to the right floor. The doors open and they get out care not to drop the boxes of food.
As they walk, he finally asks, "So, what did you pick up?" Ken answers, "More fruit and vegetables, milk, cercal, Orange juice, some fresh fish, cooking oil, pasta, rice, soy sauce, and Lemon juice. I plan on having fish for supper tonight. So, what did Guyver have to say?" They turn a corner and then move back a few steps to let some people and Digimon through. They then continue their track to Ken's apartment. "Mostly about getting this one report copied to hand out to the locals. He hasn't heard from his cousin Fate in awhile. Also it seems that all of the magic using Digimon felt something before lunch yesterday. They don't know what caused it, though." He tells Ken. Stingmon asks, "Before lunch? Isn't that kind of odd. Didn't Takato Digivolve about that time?" Both humans blink at that, and it was Ken that slowly says, "I think that's the time on those pictures that Kari took says. You think that they all felt Takato Digivolve?" He had to agree with that logic. "Takato is a practicing magic user as a Digimon. He also didn't get covered right away by the energy of Calamon's. I would say that it might be that those Digimon felt it. I'll wager that they weren't the only ones either. I don't think that they know what it was, and I hope that they don't figure it out. Takato has enough to deal with." He says as they reach the end stretch of hallway. They agreed not to talk about it to Takato, though. Maybe to Rika, just to give her a heads up about it.
They knew that Takato had been quite surprised when he Digivolve. He even casted a spell to see what he looks like. They all admitted take Takato looked kind of awesome, but looked dangerous when he opened and closed those blades at the end of his tail. He hasn't heard of a Digimon that had tail blades like that. Takato was easily over forty feet tall, and more then fifty feet in length. Still black, but with dark blue hair, dark red and purple tattoos, and finally a red loincloth. Takato still had his black dimensional pouch. They do know that Takato's champion for was a Dragon and that he was still a magic user.
They came to G13 and Ken opens the door. Ken also hits a light switch and then there was light. He heads to the table to put down the box. Then he opens his box to find it full of fruit. Melons, apples, pears, plums, mangos, and tomatoes. Then looks into one of the three boxes that Stingmon had carried. In it was full of vegetables, like corn, bean sprouts, mushrooms, squash, water crest, cilantro, ginger root, and eggplant. He looks over at Ken with an eyebrow raised. "I promised Tommy that I would get him some stuff too. So, some of this stuffs his as well." Ken tells him.
He snorts at that, if Tommy did go with Takuya, Takuya wouldn't be much help. Takuya would be eating some of the food, like a kid in a candy store. And Tommy wouldn't be strong enough to carry everything that he needs up to his room without help. Tommy had been learning to cook from Takato and him. Tommy seems to have a good idea on how to cook. He was really careful when he does, so Tommy didn't need to be supervised when he was cooking.
Stingmon dedigivolves into Wormon and watches as Ken and him begin to put stuff again. He watches as Ken bases the fish in some sake. He didn't ask why Ken had it, he knew that sake could do what wine and beer does, it helps with the flavor and it tenderizes the meat. Ken also adds spices to the base then he adds the fish. He then returns to putting some of what Tommy asked for into a box.
After about half an hour, he takes the box to G19. He opens the door and turns on the lights. He then begins to put Tommy's items away for him. He then takes the box with him. He sees Ken waiting for him and they take the boxes back to the supply warehouse. The boxes are plastic with flexible lids. He doesn't see Wormon and asks, "Wormon?" Ken answers as they walk, "He decided to stay and watch the TV." He nods, though Ken wouldn't' see him nod for Ken was in front of him.
They soon reached the elevators and this time he pushed the button. They moved out of the way for a group coming out and then walked into the elevator. Ken pushed the button and the doors closed. The elevator stopped and some people and Digimon entered. They didn't push any buttons and the doors closed. Nobody talked and they soon all got off at the right floor.
He takes the lead as they head to the warehouse. They soon drop off the boxes and then head to see if Dash was free. Cassandra would be laying an egg sometime next week. Dash and Cassandra have been making a nursery for the little Digimon that'll be hatching.
It took them about two hours of asking Digimon about the last place they have seen Dash. Soon they find themselves in front of a door. Ken knocks and Dash opens the door. On see them he invites them in. They make some small talk about what's been happen since they last saw each other. "I hear that Takato Digivolved." Dash asks. "We were there when it happened. They were hoping that Guilmon could Digivolve into Growlmon when Takato's Drakemon. It seems that it caught everyone off guard, mostly Takato though. He soon left with Rika after transforming back into a human." He tells Dash. "Kari also got a few pictures of him, if you're interested." Ken adds. Dash nods his thanks, "I think Cass will want to see those. I believe that Davis and the others will be returning this evening?" Dash asks. Ken nods and says, "We don't knew just when, but they should."
Then he changes the subject, "So, how's the nursery coming along?" Dash asks, "Do you want to see it?" They nod their heads and Dash and them get up to follow Dash to where the nursery was being built.

He sighs and he looks to where some of the others were. Tommy was sitting by Kouji and Rika with Renamon was with Kari and Gatomon. Guilmon was sitting to his left. He looks at Rika and then relaxes. He feels the familiar energy that he always used to become Drakemon, he pulls on it. He feels the weight of his wings on his shoulders. He looks around and finds to his relief that he was just Drakemon, not his champion form.
Rika smirks at him. "I told you that you should turn back into Drakemon. It's like how most of the Digimon partners are, if they were rookies when they partnered up, then they'll go back to being rookies after they're finish with their higher forms." Rika says, he blushes and feels lucky that nobody could see him blush as Drakemon. "There was nothing to worry about. And if Izzy wasn't so busy, he would have said the same things." Kouji tells him. Kouji had become friendlier with the others. Kouichi counted him as a really good friend, so Kouji wasn't as hostile to him as he used to be. Tommy nods and says, "I better go, and I asked Ken to get me some items from the food warehouse. I want to see if he left them by the door. Bye you guys!" They all said bye as well.
It was after lunch and it was also a market day for the compound. This means that some Digimon from the surrounding area came here to sell their wares. Some set up food booths, they had gotten their lunch from one such booth. They had some credits from Dash and Cassandra, and they didn't use all of them either. Takuya and Zoe had when off somewhere, and Cyberdramon was mostly likely with Ryo in the gym. They didn't know where T.K. or Kouichi or Ken was. Suzie was playing games with other fun loving Digimon. Calamon was with Suzie and Lopmon. Ken has been looking after Suzie while Henry was away.
He looks at the others and then sighs, "Thanks for the encouragement." Kari smiles and says, "You need it. I guess none of us, humans, know what it was like to Digivolve." Kouji nods and adds, "Looks to be different then anything that we go through. The most that Takuya and I can do now is fusion. So, feel better about the whole event?" He sighs and Guilmon gets up and he pats Guilmon on the head, saying, "I'll have to get use to the idea. I don't what to be caught by surprised again. We'll wait for a while before we see if Guilmon can Digivolve into Growlmon." They nod and then they split up. He gives Rika a smile and nod. Rika nods and then with Renamon, leave him with Guilmon.
"So, now what do you want to do, boy?" He asks Guilmon about two minutes after they left. "Play War?" Guilmon asks. He nods and he was happy that he packed four decks of cards. He remembers that most of their partners like to play card games. He thought that it would be a good idea to bring some along. Gatomon had asked to borrow all four decks three nights ago. They had played Poker and Black Jack. They had found some colored chips and had used them as money.
They head back to the apartment that they share with T.K. and Patamon. He wonders just what T.K. and Patamon were doing, he didn't see them for breakfast. He chats with Guilmon as they walk to the elevators. He did feel a whole lot better about what happened yesterday.
