First Strike

8 am, the following day. Zodiac HQ, Mt. Asahidake. To-Rasu, Iteza, Otomeza, Mizugameza, and Ohitsujiza where preparing themselves

to be transported to the Digital World, and to be teleported to Scotland, after being debriefed by Joseph Carpenter about their upcoming

mission. Their mission: kidnap the 3-year old daughter of a Scottish archeologist who discovered a rare book he believed to hold secrets

of life prolongment, and, possibly, secrets on how to achieve immortality. The British Library tried amicably to obtain the book but the

Archeologist refused, and the BL were about to take it by force when he fled to his native Scotland, and thanks to the Scottish

government, who realized the BL's true colors, threaten to wage war if the BL lays a hand on the Archeologist and his family. Since the

BL couldn't send their agents fearing that they'll be recognized, they searched all over the world for someone who is capable of getting

the book without revealing the BL's involvement. After learning of the Zodiac's achievement by demolishing Dan Detective School in

Japan three months ago, the BL realized that the Zodiac is the perfect candidate. After the meeting yesterday, Carpenter's instructions

were clear. After kidnapping the girl, they'll put pressure on the archeologist to hand over the book, and make it appear that the Zodiac is

after the book and not the BL.

"Geez. I wonder why Mr. Carpenter went to all the trouble just to obtain a rare book?" the 2nd Digimon Emperor wondered as he was

preparing the setup to transport the Zodiac members into the Digital World. "Immortality. Or at least that's what Carpenter claims. At

least they're willing to pay us Y 10 million for this mission." Sasoriza replied. After the preparations are ready, the Digimon Emperor then

pressed the button. "Digital Gate open!". At the instant, To-Rasu, Otomeza, Mizugameza, Iteza, and Ohitsujiza were transported to the

Digital World. There they were led bu Ohitsujiza, who now mastered the Digital World travel (thanks to the tutelage of the Digimon

Emperor), and are now enroute to Scotland.

Dan Detective Company, Japan. Yumiko Readman and the staff of DDS were discussing about the apparent peace in Japan, three

months after the Zodiac demolished DDS. Yumiko told the DDS staff that the Zodiac is planning something big, hence the reason for their

low profile. Morihiko Dan wondered aloud whether the Zodiac are planning a full scale attack on the surviving DDS students, including

the Digi-Destined Chosens, after learning of their attack on Mimi and Wallace a few weeks ago. Their discussion was interrupted by

Michelle's shrill cry as she saw a rare book about Sherlock Holmes. Maggie joined Michelle in getting more books. Yumiko sweat-

dropped and apologized, but Morihiko Dan laughed and said that it was ok, saying it was a good moment to laugh for a while, after

months of a tense feeling they've experiencing after the DDS attack.

Scotland, 9 am. The 4 Zodiac members exited the Digital World, and are now inside an internet café, after exiting an open PC left by the

café owner who went to the toilet. Ohitsujiza confirmed that they are indeed in Scotland, in the city of Aberdeen, the town where the

Archeologist's family resides. Mizugameza then inserted a card into his card reader, which is a scepter. "SWORD VENTO.". A spiral

sword appeared in his hands. And when the café owner came back and saw the Zodiac, he took his shotgun and demanded the Zodiac

to answer how they got in. Mizugameza then stabbed the sword into his throat, beheading him. Meanwhile, Ohitsujiza typed in to the

computer, and searched the database to find the archeologist's address. After finding the desired address, Ohitsujiza planted several

bombs inside the café, while Otomeza opened the gas tanks at the kitchen. After that, they re-entered the Digital World and headed to

the Archeologist's residence via his computer. 15 seconds later, the café exploded. And since the café is in the center of the town, it was

a busy place at this time, and the resulting explosion caught the bystanders and other travelers, killing them as well as seriously injuring

several others. The Scottish police later found out that the café owner's charred body headless, and saw how he was beheaded. But

were still clueless, as there were no signs of forced entry, unaware that the Zodiac was responsible for this incident.

Owww…the Zodiac made another act of terrorism, and in foreign soil. The Zodiac are now heading towards the archeologist's home,

and are close to their target. After that, the conflict between the R.O.D. heroines and the Zodiac will soon commence. Be back for

chapter 4. Be patient. The battle you've been looking forward to will soon commence. At least the Paper Sisters and Yumiko appeared.
