Chapter 17
He stares at the odd toy that his Netop has on his bed. The toy is cute looking and seems to be something that shouldn't be in Chaud's room. He also noticed that Chaud also seems not to care about it either.
He really wonders just where Chaud got the stuff animal. He waits for Chaud to get back from brushing his teeth before asking. Soon Chaud returns and he couldn't help but notice that Chaud wasn't acting like he usually does during this time. He then decides not to ruin the mood his Netop is in and just turns his PET off. He could use the rest.
(-----------------------------------------Lan-----------------------------------------)
He's waiting at the park like he promised. He found a note from Mega about where the Navi would be and also that his mother went to visit a friends. He had just smiled knowingly and then began to finish off his homework before coming to the park.
Soon he spies Chaud walking towards him with Jinx riding on his right shoulder. He grins and waves towards the other teen. He gets up off the bench. Jinx beams on seeing him and then giggles a bit as Chaud walks towards him.
They then head over to the fountain, as to not have anyone over hear them. They sit at the edge of the fountain and Chaud sets Jinx on down. Chaud then tells the Digimon, "No swimming, Jinx. I don't want to carry around a wet Digimon." Jinx just awes a bit at this and then pouts at this. He then says, "If you're good, I'll take you to get ice cream later." Jinx cheers right up at that. Chaud snorts and shakes his head in amusement.
He then says, "We need to find out more about what's happening. I wish we could go to the Digital World to find the answers, but I can't think of away to find or open a portal." Chaud sighs and then says, "I've researched the whole thing a long time ago. It seems that the Digimon project was launched only once before they were forced to scrape the project. I don't think anyone even remembers it." He looks surprised at this, but then remembers what he learnt while staying with Set.
"So, we just got to hold on tight until we learn more." He says. Chaud too just sighs and says, "Not much we can do then. You think we should maybe warn someone? Like your dad?" He smiles sadly at the mention of his dad. "No, they're better off not knowing. They might make things worst. You remember some of the attitude that most Digimon had towards humans, right?" He asks the other teen. Chaud nods as he remembers. "That's it then, we keep it to our selves." Chaud says. He nods and says, "We can decide later if we want to tell our Navis. Maybe after we get our Digivices." With that they both just stare off into space.
After a few minutes, he then checks the time and says, "Time to go, ready Jinx?" Jinx then nods his head and a great smile is plastered on the little guy's face. He picks up the little guy and they both then get up. Chaud says to Jinx, "Just don't wonder off." Jinx just beams and nods his head a few times and then he lets Jinx ride on his head. They wave bye to each other and split up. He'll drop off Jinx at Chaud's house.
(-------------------------------------Chaud-----------------------------------------)
He spent the whole day thinking about what they decided on. He wonders if it's just a fluke that Jinx's crossed over into the real world. He checks the time and finds that it's 3:23 pm.
Then he snaps his head towards the door and finds a nervous security guard at the door. "Sir, there's this strange mist appearing in the basement." The guard says. He frowns as he thinks about this. He waves the guard away and the guard leaves in relief.
He checks to see if Protoman was in the PET, then finding that he wasn't, he leaves the office. He doesn't know if Lan's at home or out so he decides to check this out on his own. 'Maybe I'll receive my Digivice.' Is the thought that runs in his mind.
He heads to the elevators and then he uses the stairs. He stops and blinks as some ball of light appears in front of him. He blinks a few times and then the light fades a bit and reveals his Digivice. He then reaches out and grabs it.
He then notices a new item on the screen. He pushes a button and it activates. He is soon covered in light and when it disappears, he finds himself a bit smaller but he then looks at his arms and then turns his head to look at his tail. He then touches his Digivice and finds it around his neck.
He then moves towards the basement door. He opens it and feels his ears flatten. He scans the large room for danger. Then he dodges an attack from a small black Digimon. He then holds his Digivice and an image with info appears.
Vilemon
Champion level Digimon
Virus type
Evil. Attacks are Scratch and Nightmare Shocker.
He snorts at the virus part. He soon goes on the offensive and sends the black Digimon flying with a kick. He grins as he finds that he still got it. He charges towards the virus Digimon as the champion begins to recover. He lets lose a Fury Wind and this deletes the Digimon. He watches as a gate opens and the data is sucked into the gate.
He then glows and he is once again human. He finds his Digivice on his jean belt loop and turns towards the door that leads to the stairs. He can't help grin as he walks back up the stairs.
(-----------------------------------Megaman---------------------------------------)
He watches as Protoman knocks out the other Navi. The Netop calls out to her Navi. Soon the Navi logs out and he waits for the red Navi to walk over. "You could have gone easier on her." He says. Protoman just says, "They wanted to fight me, I just finished it." He sighs and wonder just why he's with the red Navi.
They leave the arena and he then asks, "Are you sore about that stuff toy that Chaud has?" He notices that Protoman stiffens and says, "What would you do about it if you're in the same position?" He blinks and then decides to check in with his PET. "I'll be back."
He then logs out and finds himself back in his PET. He blinks as he notices a white creature floating around the room. He then coughs to get the thing's attention. "Hi!" The white creature says as it turns to his PET. He finds himself staring into green eyes. "Hi, what are you doing in Lan's room?" He asks. The creature looks thoughtful and then answers really cheerfully, "Cause Lan wanted to get money for the ice cream." He blinks at this. "How do you know Lan?" He asks. "Meet him ages ago." The white creature answers. He was getting frustrated at this answers, he concluded that either this creature is really naïve or is only acting.
Then he hears Lan call out, "Jinx! I got the money!" Jinx turns to the door and yells out, "Can this man in a box come with?" After a few minutes Lan appears and looks at him. "O." Lan says. Jinx just giggles at this. "Hey Mega. I guess you met Jinx." Lan says. He nods and asks, "Just where did he come from." He waits for the answer. He blinks as Lan just sighs and answers softly, "Some place forgotten." He's puzzled at this answer.
Jinx then decides to rest on his Netop's head. "Can we go now?" Jinx asks. He watches as Lan smiles a bit and answers, "Let me just pick up Mega then we can go." Lan then moves over to his PET and puts it in it's place.
They then leave the room. He's kind of surprise at how Lan's been acting. It's out of character then usual; specially considering it's not the 5th yet. Lan blades to an ice cream parlour and orders four ice creams. Then they sit at a corner, Lan sets up his PET onto the table. He's kind of surprise to see that Jinx's is already eating one of the ice creams and Lan then slowly starts on one.
He watches as Jinx finishes his first and then begins on a second. He decides to begin. "So, when did you meet Jinx?" He asks. Lan thinks about it and then says, "When I was eight. I had this large adventure with Jinx and Chaud Blaze. I didn't know it was Chaud until yesterday though." He looks surprise at this. "How couldn't you know it was Chaud?" He asks. "Cause either of us were human at the time." Lan answers calmly.
That wasn't what he expected. He's having a hard time wrapping his mind over that single fact. As Jinx then starts on the last ice cream, he couldn't believe that Jinx could eat more then Lan. He then says, "I've never heard you talk about it." Lan nods slowly at that, he was taken back the sad look on his Netop's face. "It's nothing to talk about. Jinx here is what is called a Digimon. Digimon is short for Digital Monster; there are many different kinds, kind of like Navis. Jinx is also a Calumon, which is an in-training. Jinx is also a Data type." Lan says. He blinks as he glances at Jinx.
"So when you say you weren't human, …" He says. "I was transformed into a rookie level Digimon called Kovumon. As a Digimon I was a vaccine type. I looked to be a cross between a lion and a human." Lan informs him. He could tell that Lan's not making this up. "What happened?" He asks. "Chaud, Jinx, and me fought a lots of evil Digimon with our own hands. We deleted this one mega level Digimon named Lord Arthas. After we defeated him, Chaud and I found ourselves in around own rooms as humans. We were again eight years old." Lan tells him. He blinks at this, he didn't know just what to say about this.
"You never told anyone about this?" He says. "I doubt anyone would believe me. I didn't want people to mess with that world either. Digimon are on a whole different level then anything you've ever met." Lan says. Then they both look over to find that Jinx is asleep. He sighs and wonders just what Lan's story was like. He did know that Lan could be deep, but from the way he is now, he wonders just how deep Lan is.
They then left the ice cream parlour. He's still going over what he just learnt. He finds it hard to believe that this Digimon could be as powerful as Lan says. Then after they make it back to the house, he asks, "You said that Jinx is a in-training Digimon and that you were transformed into a rookie Digimon. What's the difference?" Lan thinks it over and then answers, "A rookie is more powerful then an in-training Digimon. Same usually goes for champion level Digimon is more powerful then a rookie level Digimon. Then ultimate is a level over a champion and finally a mega level is at the top of the ladder. To reach the next level, a Digimon then Digivolves into a different form."
He blinks at this information. "Then where do Digimon live?" Lan then answers, "In a different reality called the Digital World. It has louse connections with the real world and maybe with the Net. Also, Digimon don't think very highly of humans, so if more Digimon show up, it's more then likely that Chaud and I will have to fight them." "How can you? Your not a Digimon any more!" He says. "We have Digivices that might be showing up to help us fight." Lan answers. "Kind of a bit much to take in, huh?" Lan says softly. He sighs and if he were human, he'd more then likely have a headache right about now.
He just remains silent as Lan lies down to watch TV. Jinx is now resting on Lan's chest. He just goes over the simple fact that he's not going to be much help when Lan fights. He doesn't know just how to handle that.
