Chapter 20
He slowly wakes and finds himself chained. He fully wakes and looks around. He's in some kind of twilight world. He then turns and stares at the robed figure that's flashing black and grey. He then turns to watch as a new person enters the room.
This person also is carrying Protoman. He just blinks at this and watches as the being also chains the red Navi up. "Who are you?" He asks. The being doesn't answer and then turns and leaves the room. The other robed person also leaves. He turns to watch Protoman wake.
But before Protoman does, some kind of light appears and the circles him and then Protoman. He then whispers, "Why am I here?" He's stunned when he gets and answers, "A Digimon by the name of Iris has learnt about this Net you live in. She wishes to experiment on the two most powerful Navis she could find." He didn't know weather to be flattered or not. "Can you help us?" He asks. The light flickers a bit and then it answers, "We shall. With what has been foretold beginning; the two of you will step into the spots that will be left empty." He asks, "Are you the one that picked Lan and Chaud when they were eight?" The light answers, "They were needed and they did thrive while living in the Digital World. They have proven themselves and they're walking on their destined path as we speak. Don't worry about getting deleted. We'll be there to save your data and memories." With that said, the light fades away.
He turns to find Protoman kind of awake. "You heard?" He asks. Protoman nods. They didn't say much after that.
(---------------------------------------Chaud---------------------------------------)
He stares into his PET. He then turns to look of at Lan and Lan also seems to be at a lost for words. "You did tell them right?" He asks. Lan sighs and says, "I just have a bad feeling about all of this." He also sighs and then puts his PET down and sits at the computer.
He then goes through a search about strange mists. The search came up with that school story, nothing else though. That's either good news or not. He sighs and looks through his E-mails. After answering some of them, he then sends out a memo that he's taking vacation leave. He sighs and then turns off the computer.
Lan's gone back to his house. They'll be spending tomorrow morning scouting around the city. They will be meeting up around noon at the warehouses. They'll then be using the computers at the warehouses to check the news as they continue to help out with the searching through the crates.
He then gets ready to have a shower. After he has his shower, he gets ready for the bed. He sets his alarm and glances at his PET. He sighs and gets under that covers. He turns off his light and slowly drifts off to sleep.

He frowns as he watches as the Allomon races through the streets with cops shooting at the armour level Digimon. He frowns as the bullets either bounces off the Digimon's hide. 'You'd think they'd figure that out after the first few shoots. Better help the poor guy out.' He thinks.
He then leaps across buildings and soon makes it to where the Dino Digimon was taking a break. He leaps to the ground and says, "I'll take you to a safe house." The Allomon sigh in relief and just nods his head. He leads the Allomon towards the closest subway station and they descend down the stairs. Few people were around and they easily avoided attention.
They traveled for a good hour in the sewers; it was a tight fit for Allomon though. They finally come to an old subway station and climb back to street level. He found this old subway station by hacking into the city building plans. This subway station was built over, but they didn't do more then just board up the entrance. They were now a good thirty minutes away from the warehouses.
He checks the time on his Digivice; it's 11:43 am. He then says, "Rest, we'll be there in a good half an hour." "Thank you. By the way, I'm Track." Track says. "I'm Chaud." He informs the other Digimon.
(-----------------------------------------Lan-----------------------------------------)
He just feels like growling in frustration. First he battled three Digimon who were trying to destroy as many buildings as they could, but he had to Digivice into his champion form. Good news is that the three Digimon have been deleted and he got away without getting shot at, bad news is that he found another group of Digimon, but their escape route is blocked.
He just sighs and looks over at Bane the Cerberumon. Bane just glares down at where the police have created a block ad. Then he glances at the other Digimon. Five Elecmon, two Falcomon, and six KoKabuterimon. Bane's the leader of the group when he found them.
He then returns to looking at the block ad. The number of police has dwindled to a group of six. He looks at Bane and says, "We'll wait ten minutes, and then we'll head to the building on the right." Bane nods and relaxes. "Then we'll wait." Bane says. Bane then moves towards the others.
He checks the time and finds that it's 11:56 am. He settles down for a bit and keeps an eye on the block ad. He hopes that Chaud is having a better time of scouting around.
(-------------------------------------Protoman--------------------------------------)
The pain arched along his nerves. He tries not to scream, but he does. After what feels to be an unknown length of time the pain continues and then the pain stops. He then coughs hoarsely as he stops screaming.
Megaman and him have been taken to separate rooms. He also wonders if the whole image of a robed being an illusion. He also wonders just how much of this place is an illusion and which parts are not. He also remembers what the light spoke of. He didn't understand what the light meant by 'step into the spots that will be left empty.' He wonders if it has something to do with Chaud though.
He looks at his left arm. The data of that arm had been reformatted into a skeleton arm. He moves the fingers and tries not to flinch as they move. He turns away and looks to the ground. He knows that his helmet has been deleted. He also didn't know just what he looked like without it.
A sound occurs to his left and he turns to watch as two robed figures talk in low tones. He suddenly has a very bad feeling about all of this. He bites his lips and waits for the pain to begin.
(---------------------------------------Lan-------------------------------------------)
They finally were within sights of the warehouses. He lets out a sigh of relief and just grins at the sight before him. He just nods to the unspoken question of the group and the rookies then take off running towards the warehouses.
He glances at Bane and then they both snort and they walk towards the safe house. He's grin gets wider on seeing Set wave at him. He waves at Set and picks up speed. He feels a bit more complete now.
(:-:)
After five minutes, they moved as silently as they could towards the building. He walks at the front and Bane at the back. They were just about a foot away from the doorway when they were spotted. He yells, "Quickly in side!"
He notices that some of the police have flinched at seeing him. That means that they witnessed him Digivolving. He waits for the rest of the group to get inside before going inside the building. He then races towards the basement of the building with the others following him.
The hole in the basement floor leads them directly to the sewers. They continue on at a quick pace until they reach a brick wall. He uses his Beast Fist on the wall and it gives way. They then travel for a good twenty minutes, encountering more brick walls on their way.
They then meet up with some construction workers and they race away. They then head up to the street and find that they're in a seedier part of the city. He decides to take it slow and to the few people who saw them, they thought that they were having a really good high. Bane remarks after a few encounters of the druggies, "They look happy." He grins a bit and just nods his head.
They then found a subway station and once again traveled through the sewers. They continued to find more brick walls and gates locked. They easily punched through the walls and broke the locks for the gates. They again encounter a group of people in gas masks. Realising that they were going to gas them, they all charged pass the group and once again headed to the street. Just in time to watch some smoke raise up. He just sighs and says, "Want to rest?" With many grunts in agreement with that course of action, they find a building and they rest up.
After a good twenty minutes they once again on the move. They moved around in alleyways, jumping over wall and climbing fire exists to building jump. This takes them a good hour to find a junky bus. He eyes the bus and opens the door and finds that some keys were still in it. He grins and says, "All aboard!" He sits in the driver set and starts the engine. "Do you even know how to drive this?" One of the KoKabuterimon asks. "Better then walking. Plus the windows are tinted." He says cheerfully. Bane snorts and says, "Might want to sit down and pray." The rookies do just that.
He then closes the door and places the bus in drive, puts his right foot gently on the gas. The bus then moves and they're on their way. He remembers to stop at the right times and turns with the signal light. Everything was going smoothly, they were also a good twenty minutes away when in front of him was a block ad. He then moves the bus to the right side of the road and puts it in park. He opens the door and says, "I'm going to distract them, you guys races straight ahead." The others nod their heads in understanding and he then gets out of the bus.
He then leaps climbs the closest building for a good thirty feet in the air, then he leaps towards the block ad. The police look startled at his sudden appearance and then when he races away, they all follow, also yelling, "Halt!", "Freeze!", and other such things. He doesn't do any of those things, other then lead the police away from the block ad.
After a good five minutes, he then leaps up a tree and then onto the closest building. He makes his get away. He soon catches up to the others and they continue on towards the warehouses. He knows his late, but it couldn't be helped.
(:-:)
They are then surrounded by the others and with questions flying around. He then hold up his hands and says, "We kept running into people. Sorry to be so late." The others just laugh a bit at this and they then all listen as the new arrivals and his stomachs growl. The laughter just increases and Set then leads them away.
He looks around at the buildings and he sighs. He wonders if it might be a good idea to just spend the night here. He knows his mom's been busy with plans and with packing. His parents were heading off to London for a science conference. It's not cancelled either, not even with all the Digimon appearing. He frowns as he wonders if his friends think that he's on some kind of special mission. He shakes his head out of those thoughts. It's not the first time he missed school because his job as a Net Saver gets in the way. He's not going to blame them for guessing that's what's happening now. A small part of his also feels relieved at not having to deal with his friends and parents. He has this feeling that things are just heating up.
