Demons and Wizards – Chapter 3
"The GENNAI system has been developed, tested, and implemented effectively twice already. The first implementation, in our labs, operating as it's code-naming, the other, under the codename Ozolongmon, licensed to the European Union with the purpose of ending hunger in remaining third world countries. We plan on three more implementations of the GENNAI consciousness with unannounced codenames and purposes. These bioorganic entities can each support several dummy terminals which work on a satellite signal to integrate privileged access to the computer to gather information form the computer's opinions or static knowledge, as well as with other users with the same access to allow them to carry out their assignments or objectives. The schematics to the current implementation of the remote dummy terminals may be seen after the presentation is finished upon written request to the DW Corporation who took control of the GENNAI project after the Japanese government sublicensed it to them, and gave them exclusive patent rights to all software coded by its developers. However, claims that the GENNAI system is immoral and unethical are incorrect, as only organic parts form voluntary donors and non-sentient species are used..." The speaking by the public relations representative went on for hours in front of the United Nations, on how they should be the third implementation of the GENNAI system, and watching from a hidden location were GENNAI's developers.
"It's amazing how much he can explain for not having worked on it," the red-headed boy said, with a chain mail sash around his waist, and a digivice hidden in his pocket, not displayed prominently on his shirt pocket as usual.
"I hate this, not taking credit for our work and having to hide up here. My concerns apparently are irrelevant to what they think, because Ozolongmon is not as sophisticated as GENNAI despite his code update. Unfortunately though, if we're correct about why its because it lacks type blue organic material," The black haired child said, fingering the digivice in his pocket, a chain mail sash around his waist as well.
"Ozolongmon did not need to think like a demon, therefore demon brains were not included, and replaced with dolphins. After all, it's all still sentient material just not as sophisticated as a demon's brain," the last, silver-haired, boy spoke. His chain mail sash around his neck, like a scarf, and his digivice hidden like the last two, in his right hand pocket, "Although, the theoretical second world seems to be being left out to make them feel more comfortable."
"Chances are there will never be two GENNAI systems on a network with ours, making it an impossibility as it requires demon tissue to be implemented, it cant happen if the other ones are networked," the black haired boy ended.
"I can't stand how they're marketing the GENNAI system now. It was never designed to go commercial like this, this is wrong," the silver haired boy said, and turning away from the viewing screen, "I want to leave, and I hate this. Corporations trying to make money on my invention with no credit, we are not once mentioned by anything but its devolpers, and we're not even allowed to go on stage when they cal up its developers. 'For our safety' they say, well I wont stand for this, I'm leaving on the next flight back to Japan, there's going to be another breach there soon, I can feel it, soon these will become almost daily and we'll need to expand how many of us there are. Tell those assholes who pay us I'm back at base preparing of the next attack."
"You're only still in your job because they need you. Once they build the five GENNAI computer's you will be fired, you realize that?" the black haired boy said in response.
"By then, however, the CEO will have changed, which means I'm not going anywhere," he replied, as he walked out of the observation area to the exit.
Takeru tried to remember more about this dream. He had put in a request to synchronize minds with GENNAI, to see if GENNAI could help him figure this out, however it was a hard process to get through. The blonde was in the shower, cleaning himself, when the door opened.
"Ah, sorry Takeru, I'll just be going now," Daisuke said as he began to close the door.
"I wouldn't wait if I were you, you got up late and this is the only way you're going to report to the mess hall by 0800 hours, so use the bathroom now and ill finish up in here," Takeru replied, half wishing the red-head would climb in the shower with him. Then re realized something, but it was to late.
"Takeru, what the hell? You doubled in size when you got up!" Daisuke said, shocked.
Wow, thankfully he's a bit slow and didn't realize I was thinking about him, Takeru thought as he climbed out of the shower and put on a towel.

"Permission for a mind dump has been granted in one week, at precisely 2000 hours, Agent Ishida," Director Koushiro Izumi, one of two, formerly the second in command of three, said, his hair was getting greyed, but it was form stress not from age. It was sad; at 30 he had already come this far after starting work on GENNAI at 20. Takeru stopped, and tried to figure out how he knew that, and brushed it aside.
"What happened at about 0200 last night that somebody came rushing through the halls screaming you name?" Takeru asked Koushirou.
"Taichi's sister allegedly had a premonition, but we've dismissed it as lack of sleep as of yet," Taker could see the lies in his eyes, but knew better than to question it.
"Oh, ok, I'll ask Hikari how she is next time I see her then," Takeru said, as he went to the stairs down. Basement Lv2, Takeru though, Armory, Weapons Development, GENNAI mechanical components, and a briefing room. Daisuke was to meet him in 10 minutes at weapons development to learn about the different types of ammunition available for this, he though a different approach than his parents took would be a good idea, they weren't very god teachers.
"Takeru, I'm here," Daisuke said, as he walked up two minutes late, not a good sign.
"You pull that shit with a mission and you get totaled management. You will show up on time, never late or early unless otherwise specified," Takeru said, he had laying down rules, but he would adapt to it.
Daisuke, however, understood this perfectly, "Yes sir, I promise it will never happen again" Daisuke said, saluting the Lieutenant in charge of him.
"Now, we use different types of bullets for different objectives here. Primarily, we use a blessed steel bullet if we need to break something with a demonic aura, but not a demon. On demons, we primarily use silver or blessed silver-coated bullets. Some demons have an aura, which we hit them first with a silver bullet to dispel their aura, then a mercury bullet to take them down. These demons are rare though and hard to come by. And, we're not told why, but there are gold bullets available for many of the Covert Operations missions, as well as cyanide pulls should a demon or government agency captures you. If you are captured and cannot access your suicide pill, you are to not divulge any information regarding GENNAI or your digivice, which should at the very least be made non-functional if not destroyed in this case. In all combat situations, with demons or humans, you will refer to fellow agents by their assigned code names. Understood recruit?" Takeru said, managing to sound authoritative and serious.
"Yes sir, but one question," Daisuke responded with, "Why would we have to engage a human in combat?"
"In the past, we have been stormed by hostile human parties attempting to acquire the GENNAI bio-computer," Takeru said, in response, "Now; lets get some target practice in."

BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!
"Good Hikari, right at its weak spots," Taichi congratulated his sister, "You're an even more dead-aim than I am with one of those," Taichi said, and smiled at his little sister.
"It's not really that hard once you hold the gun steady," Hikari said, beginning to put here ear protection back on to take another few rounds, when her and Taichi's digivices beeped, Taichi went ahead to GENNAI as Hikari went to put her gun and eye and ear protection away.
"Hiakari, how are you," a voice she recdognized said, as she turned around, "Koushirou said you had a premonition last night, what was it this time?"
"Takeru, it was nothing. I'll tell you about it later, ok? GENNAI wants me," she said, and walked away form Takeru.
"Rejected," Daisuke said, from behind him.
"That's nit what happened, Daisuke, besides, girls aren't usually my thing, although I've made exceptions," he said, turning to Daisuke, "I've known your cousin since Taichi came here, she was going to be trained without going to the University, but GENNAI decided that for liability reasons she should go to the University."
"So, you mean, this morning was about," he blushed deeply, before turning around and getting to an open place, "We should talk about this later," He responded with.
"Good idea," I said, as I watched him slug 3 bull's-eyes thought the same hole on the target, and made a mental note not to piss this kid off.

"Hikari Yagami," a voice spoke as she entered the briefing room GENNAI had directed her to. Basement Level 3, briefing rooms, Luciemon's Sealed Quarters and Laboratory, Koushiro's Quarters and Laboratory, and Ken's Quarter's and Laboratory. Also, a GENNAI maintenance room, which she was pretty sure housed the organic components to him, "You are here because you have shown recent signs of being the third Triad Mage, the Oracle of the Future. We have brought you here to test it, and possibly transfer your training to Ken, so you may better learn your powers. Now, let us begin," Koushirou was speaking, Miyako was in the room as well, but as she was Koushirou's charge: the Oracle of the Present.
"It's going to be all right," a gentle yet firm voice form behind her said, the voice of Ken, "Let me guide you to the future," he said, as moved his hands to her temples and his mind faded off and she began to sense Ken's thoughts merge with hers.
"You infused my precious code into those?" the silver-haired boy with a chain mail scarf hissed into Koushirou's ear, "But that is different, I came back because the project I started must be finished and reused before the time Mrûdock releases his," the red-head gasped at that, "Do you want to know why I took so long to bend your binding curse? It's because I had to first try to assassinate him myself, so I could confirm that it was the only way to mound an offensive."
"How? You need a gate to bypass worlds, and how do you know which one is which?" Koushirou asked, still pined against the wall.
"Simple, the way the used to try to breach here under the Queen: possession. I posess a demon in their world and breach that way, a concept they had never been attacked with so they were unable to recognize the signs as I slowly took over the body of a demon who lived in a relatively close proximity to the castle. In their world, they are bound to the same humanoid forms we take in our, but when the cross they may take the shape of their insides if they so choose to. Which is why there are peaceful demons her, who stayed humanoid and came here to escape Mrûdock's reign in the Demon's World, and why there are people like you and me. But I digress. I used his body to breach the world gap after three years of biding my time controlling him. I emerged just as I wanted to: in my human form with golden bullets, a katana, and a small dagger. I managed to get to the throne room, saying I was going to ask permission to attack the humans, when I completed my gap: the demon's body was destroyed, so I was able to breach. He recognized me, and we fought. Every time I charged him or fired a bullet at him, I missed because of one of the shields he had placed on him. So, for one year, I was taken prisoner then forced back into this dimension where the Oracle of the Past gave me a personal invitation into the complex, bending the rules of your bind," he finished, then kissed Koushirou on the lips, "Did you miss me?"
"No, but if this is true, first of all you need to get off of me," Koushirou said, as he forced the other boy off, then threw a bolt of electricity at him, that was easily blocked, "Next, we need a triad meeting, and now. Also, don't ever kiss me again, or I will rip you intestines out and integrate your mind in with GENNAI's, making you nothing but another processor to a higher being."
"Yes sir, I will not kiss you. I see you've found somebody you perceive to be your soul mate, allowing you to advance your magic once you make love to her. You finally decrypted what I told you before you sealed me then," the silver boy smiled, as he turned back into the black haired boy with a scarf, "Well then, we shall meet in the formal chambers to discuss what I saw in my imprisonment, I will meet you and Ken there," the boy finished, as he walked out of the room and to a cleverly concealed elevator.
"I recommend a transfer to my charge," Ken said, he was still behind Karai, his hands still on her temples, "She is the heir to the third seat on the triad, and we will soon know who Luceimon's heir is, assuming this happens as it should.
"Are you saying the time is coming? When we must prevent the worlds from merging as foretold?" Koushiro asked, eyes widening, though nobody could see it in the dark room.
"I believe so," he responded, "I believe so."
A/n: So, Luceimon is an OC for the story, and he will show up in the present next chapter. Also, I may not ever state this, but Luceimon's real name is being used to bind him from ever entering the DW HQ, but if he is formally invited by one who has his powers, he may enter to aide them even though his demonic powers will be diminished. If you're confused, feel free to msg or email me and ask a question, as my concepts' are pretty set in stone as of now, as of the lore in the world, and I'll answer the question if I can even if I answer it in a later chapter. Oh, and there is some definite Daikeru going on next chapter, for those of you who are only reading it for the bishis, which si not why im writing this, but need to have some sort of romance in here.
