The Search

7 am, the following day. After Kazuma told everyone at DDS about what happened last night, Principal Dan, Officer Tooyama, and other

local officials wasted no time in finding any leads that would lead them to Zodiac's hiding place.

At DDS, Kazuma and Koshiro worked non-stop in developing an anti-virus to counter the effects of the bugs and viruses that Ohitsujiza

made and caused the economic, political and social unrest in Japan. The rest of DDS' computer experts also helped the two youngsters

in making a cure.

Meanwhile, Ryu and Megumi gently, and carefully, broke the news of Kyuu's predicament to Mrs. Renjou. Kyuu's mom was filled with

worry, but Kyuu's friend (Ryu), and girlfriend (Megumi) assured to her that Kyuu will be alright. One of DDS' senior staff member

volunteered to stay over at the Renjou residence to accompany Kyuu's mom in case her constant worry might cause her to faint due to

high blood pressure or other heart-related ailments (like heart attack).

Meanwhile, the five senior members of the Digi-destined Chosens were spread in five key places in Japan in hopes of finding Kyuu.

- Jyou and Ikkakumon were patrolling the Nansei Islands, on land and sea. So far they find nothing suspicious.

- Sora and Garudamon were patrolling in the air in Kyushu, but find no trace of Kyuu, or any of the Zodiac members.

- Yamato and Gomamon searched back and forth all over Shikoku prefecture, and were quite exhausted. They took a 10 minute break before resuming their search.

- Taichi and Agumon where conducting some question and answer portion with the residents and tourists of Honshu, but found nothing about Kyuu's whereabouts.

- Mimi and Palmon, along with Wallace (Willis in the U.S. version) and Terriermon, tried their luck in Hokkaido, but their valiant efforts

were somewhat in vain, as they too found no traces of Kyuu or any of the Zodiac members.

Each of the Chosens searching the five key areas spent almost six hours searching, and ended up empty-handed, but didn't gave up

hope.

Back at the Zodiac HQ, Mizugameza sneaked into the prison chamber while no one was looking, and began to beat up Kyuu.

Mizugameza had Kyuu gagged to avoid shouting. Mizugameaza alternated his torture on Kyuu between his knuckles and card reader.

Mizugameza enjoyed seeing Kyuu suffer fromhis physical tortue. He spent 10 minutes using Kyuu as a punching bag, and Kyuu was just

moments away from blacking out when Mizugameza was rudely interrupted. "SWING VENT". A thorned whip was fastened around

Mizugameza's neck and was hurled against the other side of the wall. An enraged Mizugameza turned to see who disturbed his fun,

seeing another armored figure appearing from the silhouette. Emerging from the silhouette was a red-colored armored man with shoulder

pads and black tights. His helmet resembles that of a stingray's head, and his left wrist was covered by what appeared to be a small

shield that resembles the body of a stingray. Mizugameza then realize that it was Uoza. "You know the orders, Mizugameza. The prisoner

is to be kept alive for us to keep DDS at bay. If the boy dies, To-Rasu will have your head for this.", Uoza reminded. But Mizugameza

ignored it and was about to draw his card, when another armored figure appeared. His armor, along with his bulking shoulder pads, was

made of gold, and wearing black tights. His helmet was menacing enough to look like a Decepticon symbol of the TV series The

Transformers. The figure stood in between the two warring Zodiac members and said, "Mizugameza. Uoza. Enough of this. Fighting

each other will only get in the way of our ultimate goal.". Mizugameza angrily protested. "Why couldn't you fools just mind your own

business! I have a right, you know?". But the gold-armored figure stood firm in his decision, and shielded Kyuu from the advancing

Mizugameza. "So you're siding with that brat, are you?" Mizugameza accused. "If you wish to harm this prisoner, you will have to go

through me. I'm trying my best to reason with you, to avoid a conflict. But you don't seem to follow orders…" But another figure

appeared and broke up the conflict. It was Sasoriza. He then saw the commotion and said ,"What's going on here, Tenbinza?". Tenbinza

told the whole story. Sasoriza then approached Mizugameza and whispered, "As much as I love to see you beat this boy to death, we

can't, at least for now. To-Rasu said that he'll be our hostage in keeping DDS at bay. I too questioned To-Rasu about this, but knowing

him, we'll just have to trust him. You'll just have to fasten your bloodlust.". Mizugameza then went into a fit of rage, kicking and banging

at the cage bars and door before leaving the prison chamber. Sasoriza then parted, telling Tenbinza and Uoza that a meeting will take

place in five minutes. Tenbinza followed, leaving Uoza alone with Kyuu. Kyuu was coughing hard due to the beatings he received. Uoza

then gave Kyuu a glass of water to drink. "It's alright. It's not laced with any drugs. I'm sorry that you were caught into this mess. I wish

that there was any way to get you out undetected, but this place is heavily guarded by our security devices. Your only chance of escaping

is that your friends find this place soon.". Kyuu drank the water that Uoza offered, and after that, Uoza left. Kyuu was dumbfounded on

why Uoza was the only one who was kind to him. He felt that maybe Uoza had a reason for joining this unknown organization.

At Hokkaido, Mimi and Wallace were having a late lunch in McDonalds near an internet café when Miyako called on her cell phone.

"Mimi, Wallace. I have an idea on where to locate the Zodiac HQ, to where Kyuu was kept prisoner. Listen, I'm homing on the virus'

frequency using the PC. Koshiro and Kazuma are working out on how to trace the virus' point of origin. Once we found the source on

which PC the virus came from, we'll lock onto that signal. When we give you the go-signal, enter the Digi-Gate, and use the signal to

trace the virus' source. Once you found the source, and the Zodiac's hiding place, contact us. We'll then provide back-up.". Mimi and

Wallace agreed, and finished their lunch. Then they went to the internet café. There Mimi's cousin works there as the owner of the café.

Mimi then told his cousin the situation, and Mimi's cousin agreed to help, and offered her a laptop. There Mimi and Wallace opened the

laptop, and waited for Miyako's signal to enter the Digi-Gate.

Looks like Miyako hatches a plan to find The Zodiac's lair and stop the virus attack and rescue Kyuu through the experimental use of the

Digi-Gate. Will Miyako's plan work? And when is Kazuma and Koshiro's anti-virus cure going to be ready? At any given time Ohitsujiza

will unleash another virus attack. And what about the rest of DDS? Apart from Ryu, Kazuma and Megumi, Class A, and the rest of

Class C weren't mentioned here. Their roles will be crucial in the next chapter.
