Chapter 19
He thinks about what Megaman has told him. If it hadn't been for the way Chaud and Lan acted, add in the white Digimon named Jinx, he might have thought that the blue Navi as just pulling his leg. He sighs as he looks at the group resting on the bed.
It was Megaman that talked him out of waking them, mostly by pointing out that they did come home after midnight. He wonders just what happened at the warehouse, for both him and Mega had spent most of the evening checking the news reports. Especially when Jinx decided that he was very hungry. They couldn't stop the Digimon from leaving the room and raiding the kitchen. And if that wasn't bad enough, Jinx came back with the spoils. Jinx raided the kitchen three times and might have gone for a fourth if Chaud and Lan hadn't arrived home about this time.
He sighs; he didn't know just what to make of the fact that Chaud and Lan could transform into something that's not human. He then turns to look at a pop up. "Looks like another odd fog has appeared." He says. Mega nods in agreement. He then yells out to his Netop, "There's a new fog appearing over by the school that Lan goes to!" To not only Megaman's shock, but his own, Lan woke first.
"At my school?" Lan asks and shakes Chaud awake. Jinx wakes next and Jinx then takes over waking Chaud. Lan's already getting his other cloths one. "Yes. It showed up about fifteen minutes ago. There seems to be a disturbance occurring and someone phoned it in." He answers. Chaud nods as he yawns and stretches. Soon both humans were ready and they pick up their PETs and headed for the kitchen.
"I though you'd head straight for the mist." Megaman says. "You need energy to fight and Chaud and I haven't had a large enough dinner last night. Besides, our friends will try and keep everyone safe." Lan says with confidences. Chaud nods in agreement with Lan.
(-------------------------------------Chaud-----------------------------------------)
They arrived as Digimon; they journeyed quickly towards the school. He had jacked in their Navis into the system. He knows that they be at the school by now. He frowns as he looks at the crowd; most of the people there were reporters and police.
They then split up and him and Jinx went one way and Lan went the other way. Jinx and him slip towards the wall and then he looks around. Then before he loses his nerve he jumps the wall.
He blinks as he finds a small group of kids in front of him and just stares at him and Jinx. He then walks calmly towards the building with Jinx flying behind him. "Get out of here." He orders the group of kid and they race towards the gate. He then moves quickly towards the building.
They enter the building and find the lights off. He moves through the halls, he listens to the sounds around him. He feels Jinx's weight on his left shoulder as he moves. He then hears a scream coming from somewhere ahead. He races down the hallway and finds the gym.
He then opens the doors and finds a group of students attacking Lan. On seeing him and Jinx the rest of the students just turn and stare. He leaps over Lan and they then retreat away from the people in the gym. They then enter the closest classroom and they then wait for a good five minutes before they start to talk.
"No sign of the Digimon?" He asks. Lan nods, and says, "I just entered the gym and some girl screams and they then decide to attack me. I mostly just blocked the attacks from the others." He sighs and they then hear another scream. They race out of the classroom and towards the gym.
The sight that awaited them was just too funny. For there were three Gabumon and four Gomamon trying to get at the food that the students had gotten from the cafeteria and the students just weren't letting the Digimon get either a word in or let up on the attacks.
Then they turn to look up and they find an angel Digimon fighting with an owl Digimon. They then changed their opinions as to why the rookies were in the gym. "Move it out of here! You need to leave before the fight gets to rough!" Lan yells out. The other Digimon turn and smile at them and the students and teaches just turn and stare. He then looks up and the rest of the people follow his gaze.
They moved out of the way as the students and teachers rush out of the gym. The rookies then go and save the food. Lan holds out his Digivice and an image of the owl appears.
Arurumon
Armour level Digimon
Virus type
Bird. Attacks are Midnight Sniper and Infrared Ray.
Then the info for the angel appears.
Piddomon
Champion level Digimon
Vaccine type
Angel. Attacks are Mega Heal and Apollo Tornado.
"Why are you two fighting?" Lan asks the two Digimon. They pause and then the owl Digimon says, "I wanted to force the humans out of the building and Hermes wanted to try and reason with them! Can you believe that?" Hermes then argues, "I believe they would have understood that we meant them no harm, Glide." Soon the two Digimon are arguing about which course of action they should take.
After listening to this for a good four minutes, Lan finally states, "They're long gone and I know where another group is residing. If we go and get the others, we'll be happy to lead you to this place." The two turn and then Hermes asks, "Lead on." They all walk out of the gym and it was then that he notices that Jinx's no longer with him. 'Mostly, Jinx is with the food.' He thinks as they search for the other Digimon.
They find them finishing off the food and with some help between them; they carry the food out of the school building. They get by the wall and they then headed underground, into the sewers. They traveled for a good hour and they then climbed out of the sewers. They check around and then they continue above ground.
They make it to the right place and they then headed to the warehouse that Set and them were using. They found most of the Digimon asleep.
(------------------------------------------Lan----------------------------------------)
They introduced everyone to everyone else and then he watches as Set, Hermes, and Glide exchange stories. The rookies and in-training Digimon decide to play. After they finish talking about how they got here, they didn't say anything for the next few minutes.
"I think we should start planning on fortifying this place. There will be more Digimon crossing over and it'll be a smart move to have a safe place for friendly Digimon to stay at." He says. Hermes then says, "I agree, for until we can figure out how to get back, we might as well do something productive." Set then says, "Then we'll begin at once." They all began to talk about what's needed in turning this group of warehouses into some kind of make shift fort.
First they decide to search through the crates that are housed in the warehouses. Both Chaud and him were a bit iffy on this course of action, but knew that it needs to be done. In most of the crates were electronic parts for computers. In a few were canned food and building material. They decided not to split up as they continued onto the next warehouse.
It'll take them a good many days before they were ready to start working on actual fortifying. He then decides to check his Digivice. He finds it to be 2:03 pm. They woke at 8:23 am and got to the school at 9:23 am.
"I'm going out for a bit." He tells Tory. Tory nods and he then walks away. He heads back to his place and transforms back into a human. He finds his mom home and blinks as he thinks about what to do next. He looks at the house and then decides to try and climb up and into his room.
He finishes scaling the roof and climbs into the window. He finds it so weird to be in his room. He feels more at home with set and the other Digimon then at his real home. If just gets him as odd at this. He then turns on his computer and finds Mega waiting for him. "Hey Mega. Sorry, but we got distracted at the warehouse." He explains. Mega just sighs and says, "I guess…" He sighs and feels guilty about this. "I'm sorry that we forgot about you two. I also don't know just how to make it up to you." He tells his Navi. Megaman nods and says, "True, I guess it would be hard to explain us to the Digimon." He nods and says, "I'm sorry to say this, but I'm to keen on what's going to be happening soon. We have no clue how to stop the Digimon from crossing over and the friendly ones need a place to stay until we do. Chaud and I will be having our hands full with this whole thing." Mega smiles a bit and nods, "I can see that this will a hard time, especially with the fact that nobody know what they are. I still think you should tell your dad though."
He turns away from the computer and knows he doesn't want to inform his dad about this. He knows that deep down, he loves his father, but with Set here, it's changed. He knows that if he asks, Set would be more then happy to adopt him. He really didn't know just what he'd do when this is all over. This is going to be a great big mess and he doesn't know if he really wanted to help sort it out. Oddly enough, he feels kind of happy that nobody could explain the Digimon.
"Have there been any more merges?" He asks and turns to look at Mega. "No yet." Mega says. "You want to talk about it?" Mega adds. He sighs and says, "I just don't know. I know that I have two parents, Mega, but sometimes, I would just like to spend time with my own father." "Why don't you tell him that?" Megaman asks. He snorts and says, "I don't usually have enough time to. I should probably go. I'll make sure we get you're guys PETs from Chaud's." He turns off the computer and leaves.
(------------------------------------Megaman--------------------------------------)
He sighs and wonders about the changes he sees in Lan. He wonders just what will happen, for it looks to be that Lan doubts the relationship he has with his own father. He frowns as he thinks about it. It's true that dad is usually too busy to spend a lot of time with Lan, but he wonders just how much it really bothered Lan. If Lan could hide the real self from the world, does this mean that Lan's doubts about his father have been there longer and run deeper then what he thinks it does?
Odd as it is, he kind of feels like Lan's drifting away from what he has and he just wishes Lan to be happy. It strikes him that Lan's never been happy since he came back from the Digital World. He really doesn't know what to do, should he tell their dad or not. A part of him wishes that Lan would stay by his side, but he also wants Lan to be happy, even if he's no longer in the real world.
He turns and before he has a chance to defend himself, he blacks out.
To be continued …
