Chapter 18
He heads over to meet up with Chaud. He also picked up Mega's PET as he left. Soon he's off to where Chaud will be finish working, with Jinx's in his arms.
He knows that Jinx's as a big grin on his face, for he's using his roller blades. He speeds down the street, weaving and dodging people as he goes. He soon comes to the building and finds Chaud just exiting. He slows down and lets his momentum carry him towards Chaud.
"Hey, I thought I'd return this." He says. Chaud smiles a bit as he holds out Jinx. Jinx tries really hard not to giggle as Chaud takes the Digimon from him. "I was wondering where I left this." Chaud says. He could see Jinx's eye sparkle with laughter.
Then Mega says, "Did Chaud just make a joke?" Chaud's eyebrow rise up and he sighs. "He found Jinx in my room." He explains. Then he searches the teen in front of him and his eyes widen at the sight of Chaud's Digivice. It's his turn to raise an eyebrow. "What level?" He asks as they walk away, or in his case bladed away. "A Vilemon, champion level." Chaud answers. He just sighs at hearing that. "On the bright side, you took him out real quick." He says. "It's like ridding a bike, you just need to get back on the bike." Chaud answers. He grins and says, teasingly, "Have you ever learnt to ride a bike?" Chaud doesn't answer this and Jinx couldn't stop but giggle for a minute before stopping.
(------------------------------------Megaman--------------------------------------)
He found it creepy watching Lan and Chaud act this way. For Chaud was acting like a regular teen, very different then he usually acts. The way Chaud and Lan traded jokes and laugh at them, it really hit home that Lan had been telling the truth.
He didn't know just what to think about all of this. It's just that, it seems that he never really known Lan like he thought he did. He then realized that Lan hadn't given others a chance to know the real him. It also seems to be the same with Chaud. He knows that Chaud and Lan have been through a lot during the years, but they never acted like this.
It was then Chaud's Digivice began to beep. Chaud picks it up and he watches as a map appears on it. Then a red circle is blinking faster and faster. Lan then says, "I'll check it out. I think it's my turn. Mind holding Mega's PET?" Chaud takes the PET from Lan. Soon Lan speeds off and they follow at a slower pace.
Soon they find a fight already happening. He stares as two creatures fight it out. A large insect is buzzing around in the air and the other creature is brown with black mane and tail tuff and reminds him of a lion. It then struck him that the lion creature is his Netop, Lan.
"A Flymon. Not much of a challenge for him." Chaud states. He then says, "So that really is Lan?" "Yip. Lan already has his Digivice, it's around his neck." Chaud answers. He looks and then spies the device; it's a different colour then Chaud's.
He watches as Lan easily dodges the darts that were being fired at him. He watches as Lan then leaps into the air and then as Lan uses some kind of attack on the Digimon. He watches as the attack hits its mark and then as the Digimon dissolves into particles and are then sucked up by a gate that appeared.
He just stares as Lan turns and he finds the Lan's eye colour is green. He also notices the scar over on of Lan's eyes. He then watches as Lan is covered in light and soon Lan is back to being human. He finds himself speechless. Chaud then hands over his PET and they then continue on their way. Either Chaud or Lan talked for a few minutes, Jinx seems to have fallen asleep in Chaud's arms. He just begins to wonder just when did the world turn upside down.
(-------------------------------------Chaud-----------------------------------------)
They make it to his room and then watches as Lan looks about the room. He walks over to where he has his PET. He finds Protoman there in his PET.
"Sir." The red Navi says. He then puts Jinx down and then sits at the computer. He hears Lan come up behind him as he begins to search to see if more strange mists have appeared. "Protoman, I need you to keep an eye on the news. Look for anything about odd mists appears anywhere." He tells his Navi. "Is there any reason to believe that these mists are a danger?" Protoman asks. "It's not the mists that's the problem, it's what the mists are warning about." Lan says. He nods his head in agreement with Lan.
Soon his search uncovers that a mist that announced the arrival of Digimon like the ones that appeared with Calumon and the other two Digimon. It seems that on Oct 1st, a mist appeared over by some warehouses. He sighs and looks at Lan. "Lets get going." Lan says. He nods and then he turns off the computer and then they both turn to look at Jinx. "Should we wake the little guy?" Lan asks. He sigh and says, "I think between them, Protoman and Megaman might be able to keep him entertain when he wakes." Lan then adds, as he puts down his PET, "And then Megaman could fill Protoman in on what's happening." They left the room soon after.

They arrived at the warehouses and transformed into Digimon. He leaped onto the roves of the warehouses and searches as he leaps from rooftop to rooftop. There are a good eight warehouses to search through and the sun is starting to set.
He pauses and listens really carefully to what's around him. He then turns to looks to his left and finds a door open. He blinks and then carefully moves towards the open door. He pauses before starting down the stairs.
He soon smells fish and smoke. He then silently leaps onto the boxes. He soon finds the some Digimon around a fire with fish getting cooked. He then holds up his Digivice and reads the info that appears.
Hopmon
In-Training level Digimon
Data type
Lesser. Attack is Hop Hip.
Another image takes over.
Tanemon
In-Training level Digimon
Data type
Bulb. Attack is Bubble Blow.
Another image appears.
Kapurimon
In-Training level Digimon
Data type
Lesser. Attack is Howling Blow.
Once again, another image appears.
Koromon
In-Training level Digimon
Data type
Lesser. Attack is Bubble Blow.
He sighs a bit, as the Koromon is the last image. He then counts a good two Hopmons, three Tanemons, one Kapurimon, and then finally four Koromons. Then he begins to worry about just how they caught the fish.
He then turns to find a Leomon accompanied with two AquaAgumon. The Leomon is carrying more wood and the pair of AquaAgumon are carrying more fish. He couldn't help but wonder if the Leomon might be Set.
After watching as they sit down around the fire, he decides to show himself. He moves as silently off the boxes and then over towards the group. Other then the Leomon, the other Digimon just gawk at him as he shows himself. The Leomon turns and smiles as the larger Digimon looks at him.
"It's good to see you again, Chaud." Set greets him. He smiles a bit at this. "Good evening, Set. You look well." He says to the beast man. Set smiles at him and then introduces the group. "The Kapurimon is named Musk. The AquaAgumon to my left is Tory and his cousin is Kevin. The Hopmon are called Mark and Herb. The Tanemon are called Jill, Jun, and May. Finally the Koromon are Yuri, Kazu, Kenta, and Chill. And this is Chaud the Aroomon."
The group of in-training Digimon then all at once says, "Hi!" Tory and Kevin just say "Hey" after the in-training group finish off greeting him. "It's nice to meet you too." He greets them. "I best get Lan then. I'll be back." He adds and then turns towards the door. He doesn't know just what they'll do with Set and this group of Digimon. He kind of has enough to worry about.
(----------------------------------------Lan------------------------------------------)
He sighs as they get back to Chaud's place. He was very happy that they didn't have to delete any more Digimon today, but he didn't know just what to do about Set and them. They had to move them out of the warehouses; the problem is they have no clue where to house them.
He flings himself onto Chaud's bed; he could hear Chaud talk to Jinx about raids on the kitchen. They should have known better then to leave Jinx alone with the two Navis. He just crawls more onto the bed, he's tired and it's also pass 12:00 am.
"Lan? Should I E-mail your mom to let her know that you're staying at Chaud's?" His Navi asks. He turns his head and looks at Mega's PET. "Go ahead, thanks. I'm just bushed." He then finds his way to the pillows and moves under that covers. He's only wearing his pants; he took off his shirt and shocks as he used the bathroom. His headband rests on the pile. He'll explain to Mega and Protoman tomorrow.
He moves over to let Chaud and Jinx under the covers. As the lights get turned off, he's mind goes over what just happened when Chaud brought him to the right warehouse.
(:-:)
He turns to see Chaud racing towards him. He turns towards his friend and listens as Chaud then says, "Found them, it's Set with a pair of rookies and in-training Digimon." He blinks and grins in relief. Then their stomachs growl to remind them that they haven't had any supper yet.
He motions for Chaud to lead the way, they both were embarrassed at having their stomachs growl in unison. He follows the red rookie towards the right warehouse.
They then walk into one of them and he then smells smoke and something cooking. They approach the group and he blinks at the group before him. Then he blinks as he finds himself in a great hug. He feels his face burn and says, "Set!" He soon hears giggles and feels himself get lowered onto the ground. "It's great to see you too Lan." The champion Digimon says warmly. He looks into Set's face and just couldn't stay mad at the large Digimon. "I guess I can forgive you this once…" He says and Set then ruffles the top of his head. He snorts and moves his right hand to try and get Set to stop.
Set stops and they then move closer to the fire. He sits to Set's right and Chaud to his own right. He notices the fish that were cooking and both Chaud's and his stomachs growl once again in unison. He watches as the other Digimon all laugh at this. "Haven't had supper then." Set says in a mock disbelief tone. He just sighs and says, "Been too busy to think about dinner." Chaud adds, "Plus we only got here about an hour and half ago." One of the AquaAgumon then says, "Just one fish each then. I don't feel up to catching more. Chaud then introduces him to the group of Digimon that were around the fire.
Soon their fish are ready and they eat. They didn't try to get another fish, seeing as they could eat later at Chaud's. They then listen to Set speak of what happened after they deleted Lord Arthas. "If it weren't for Jinx remaining at the site where the castle once stood, we would have thought you both deleted. After a good month of searching, we found nothing. So we decided that with the job done, you guys just returned to where ever it is you guys call home. Jinx seems to think that he'd see you guys again and decided to journey around." Set pauses to take another bite out of his fish.
Set then continues, "You've been gone for a good six years. There wasn't much rest during those years. Many Digimon tried to take over the scattered armies of Lord Arthas, but the armies just couldn't stop fighting among themselves, and with the pressure from outside influence, the army that Lord Arthas build were no longer what they were after two years, and now all you'd find are gangs of rogue Digimon." Set then stops to finish off his fish. He thinks about this and glances over to Chaud. Chaud meets his gaze and then they both return to listening to Set.
Set sighs and then says, "About six days ago, odd rumours began to pop up. It seems that a Digimon by the name of Iris began to experiment on opening portals to the Real World. And it seems that she succeeded in doing so." He sighs and looks into the fire.
