Digimon Tamers EXE 2: Chapter 1
--------------
Yuriko was crying too much to finish her sentence. Miyabi grew worried.
"Yuriko, just calm down and tell me what's the matter...What about Dr. Wily?" Miyabi whispered.
Shuddering, Yuriko pulled herself together to finish her sentence.
"D-Dr. Wily has been kidnapped!"
"What?!?!?!"

Laika was exhasperated. Only ten minutes until the meeting was over, and Choina and Sharo could not agree to a solution to the freshwater crisis in netfrica. Eight minutes into the remainder of the conference, they compromised on a multi-national de-salination plant project. Laika left with a hint of satisfaction, but felt like more could have gotten done.
"You handled that splendidly, Laika-sama!" Searchman reassured.
"Thank you... ...I'll have to ask Laika how he handles this pressure..." Laika responded.
"Moumountai, Laika! I think you're a great general!" Terriermon praised.
Laika blushed. Laika had done some good things as head of the Sharo military. He continued his uncle's policies of resolving conflicts peacefully and only using force if all else fails, and using means of intelligence in warfare over weapons. Laika had increased law enforcement in the poorer, less structured parts of the country. He was also working to improve relations with Ameroupe and Creamland.
"Well, I'll have our chef fix us something special tonight, we've had a big day!" Laika said to Terriermon.
"Yaaay!!!"
At that moment, Laika's PET-Arc beeped, signaling new E-Mails. First, two generic Sharo Netnavis appeared in the PET-Arc. They walked up to Searchman with each holding an envelope. "These are business-related E-Mails from the Sharo gov. to general Laika. Please make sure he reads these." One stated.
Searchman nodded and accepted the letters. Searchman and the navis saluted each other before the navis left. Then, Knightman appeared and said
"Good afternoon, Searchman! Princess Pride has a message for Laika."
Searchman placed the E-mails in the inbox. As Knightman was about to return to Pride's PET, Shadowman frantically dashed into Laika's PET-Arc, panting.
"gasp...gasp...S-Searchman...gasp...I have a....Message from Miy-Miyabi...It's urgent!!" Shadowman gasped.
Shadowman fainted on the spot. Searchman took the envelope and put it in the inbox.
Laika decided to read the work-related E-Mails after dinner. He first read Pride's message, it read:
"You handled that conference VERY well for your first big meeting. Proud of you! 333
Pride."
Laika's face turned a faint pink. Brushing off the shyness, he opened the second E-Mail from Dark Miyabi. This one read:
"Laika! I have terrible news, Yuriko says Dr. Wily has been kidnapped! We have to do something!!
Miyabi"

It was the first day of summer vacation for the school children. Netto slept until twelve o' clock noon that day until Rockman received an E-Mail from Glyde and woke Netto up to see it.
"Netto-kun! Dinner!!" Rockman shouted. This was Rockman's fail-proof strategy for waking Netto from even the deepest sleep.
Netto shot out of bed in his pajamas and looked around. It was noon. When Netto realized he'd been fooled, he was annoyed.
"Very funny, Rockman! This better be worthing waking me up like this!!" He snapped.
"I hope it is, I got an E-mail from Glyde just now! I'll show it to you!" Rockman answered.
Rockman opened Yaitou's message. It read:
"Greetings, Hikari Netto and Guilmon. You are formally invited to a summer pool party in my mansion garden. My cooks will have treats prepared and i will have music. Meiru, Dekao, Tohru, Shuuko and Chisao have been invited as well.
I will see you at 1:00 PM. (That means you MUST COME!)
Yaitou, Glyde and Guardromon."
Netto stared at the two words 'Pool Party' and grinned from ear-to-ear.
"Woohoo! Fun in the sun! Mama!! I'm going to Yaitou's, where's my swimsuit?" Netto shouted.
Netto changed into his swimming trunks, put some shorts and a shirt on over it, whistled for Guilmon, and walked outside. Meiru was waiting for him just like always.
"So...You were invited too, huh?" Netto asked bashfully.
"Don't be so shy, Netto-kun. We'll have a fun time at the party! It's so hot out, couldn't be better pool weather!" Meiru responded.
Netto and Meiru walked to Yaitou's mansion while Guilmon and Leomon hitched a ride inside the PET-Arcs. When they got to the mansion's front door, Guardromon opened the door and greeted them.
"AAAaaahhh, Master Netto! Miss Meiru! Welcome to Miss Ayanokouji's home on behalf of Yaitou-sama!"
Then Yaito walked up to her guests from behind Guardromon wearing a swimsuit and sunglasses.
"We know these people well, Guardromon. Don't worry about being so Opera house!" Yaitou said.
"Ah! Meiru-Chan! Netto-kun! Let me show you the pool!!!" The rich girl cheered.
Yaitou led the two through the mansion to the garden, where the pool was. The pool was 5 feet deep, included a slide, and was designed like a tropical lagoon with a waterfall. Around it were Burning bush plants, Hibiscus plants, Elephant ear plants, and tiny palm trees. Dekao and Chisao were horseplaying in the shallow end. Tohru was floating idly in a rubber tube. And Shuuko was sunbathing out of the pool. To the left of the pool was a cart that had a sno-cone machine and a soft-serve ice cream machine with 30 flavors. Yaitou plugged Glyde in so Glyde could have some cyber ice cream. The other kids plugged their Navis in so they can have some too.
Guilmon materialized in the real world and leapt into the water. Netto threw his T-shirt off and went down the slide. Meiru removed her shirt and shorts, walked casually towards the pool, and slid under the water. Leomon materialized and jumped on top of the artificial waterfall.
"Huh? Leomon, aren't you getting in?" Meiru asked.
Leomon shook his head and said "I don't like water, it's just a cat thing. I am a cat, after all...."
"Fine by us!" Netto said.
Netto then spiked an inflatable ball and shouted "HEADS UP!"
Netto, Meiru and Chisao played a game of pool volleyball against Dekao, Yaito and Tohru. They had to call it a tie because Guilmon accidentally destroyed the ball with a flame ball. The group of kids and digimon spent about 2 hours in the pool. Netto got out of the pool and said "Meiru, i'm hungry, want some ice cream?"
Meiru said "Yeah!" And got out to join Netto.
"We'll join ya!" Tohru added.
Tohru and Dekao got out of the pool to get a treat. Netto had some ice cream, and Meiru had a snow-cone. Meiru walked up to Leomon with a second one in her hand and said "Are you hot? I brought you a snow-cone!"
Leomon came down, gently took the frozen treat in his hand, sniffed it and licked it.
MEANWHILE IN THE CYBER/DIGITAL WORLD:
Rockman and Roll sat next to each other in chairs at a virtual beach holding a malt in their hands. Glyde and Iceman were hard at work burying Gutsman in the cyber sand, and Aquaman was fishing. Iceman tapped Aquaman's shoulder to get his attention, then pointed at Rockman and Roll, who were currently staring at each other and holding hands.
"That's so sweet..." Aquaman said, wanting to cry happy tears.
"Yeah, i agree. I always thought they'd be cute together!" Iceman added.
Rockman and roll looked into each other's eyes.
"Oh god...She's so adorable..." Rockman thought to himself. "And so sweet, too..."
"Hehehe, he's so loyal, and cute to boot!" Roll thought blushing.
The lovebirds were snapped out of their thoughts when Searchman appeared and said "Rockman...Roll...Glyde, i'm so sorry to interrupt your fun, but i have an important message for Hikari Netto!!"
Rockman stood up from his chair, rubbed the back of his chair and started blushing like crazy.
Rockman held out a hand and Searchman handed the envelope to him.
"Thank you, Searchman." Rockman said.
Searchman saluted, opened a link, and left the computer.
Rockman returned to the PET-Arc and alerted Netto with a ringtone. Netto's PET-Arc suddenly beeped, he turned it on and went straight to the inbox. There was an E-Mail from Miyabi, it read:
"Netto-kun, this is an emergency! Yuriko says that Dr. Wily has been kidnapped!! We must find him!
-Miyabi."
Netto felt a chill go down his spine. Guilmon walked up to him slowly and nuzzled his cheek.
"Netto-san, what's the matter?" He asked thoughtfully.
Netto said "...There's a bit of a problem, but let's worry about it later and just relax for now, okay?"
Netto forwarded the message to Scilabs for Yuuichiro and Meijin to investigate and walked up to Meiru and Leomon.
"Meiru-chan, Roll-chan, Leomon, i need to talk to you in private, we have a situation." He whispered.
Monmonmonmonmonmonmon
Jasmine and Renamon were in the marketplace streets when Jasmine stopped by a certain shop. The shopkeeper, a petit woman in her 40's with her hair in a bun was wrapping a parcel and acknowledged that there was a customer.
"Aaah, hello there, young lady! What can i do for you, today?" The woman greeted.
Jasmine looked at her list and said "Let's see... I need Mustad Seed, Ginger, Rice, and Turmeric, please!"
"Ah, of course! Right away!!"
As the shopkeeper was sorting through her wares, Jasmine received an E-Mail from Miyabi saying that Dr. Wily had been kidnapped.
Renamon leaned over Jasmine's shoulder to read the message and asked "Wily... ...Isn't that the man who helped us save the world years ago?"
Jasmine nodded and E-Mailed Meijin.
Netto and Meiru talked in private about these mysterious E-Mails. Suddenly, Netto got an I.M from his father. Netto opened the PET-Arc and Yuuichirou appeared on the screen.
"Netto-kun! Meiru-chan! I received your E-mail, and this is serious!! I need you both to come here to Scilabs immediately, and bring your Digimon, of course!!!!"
The message then ended.
Netto and Meiru went back to the garden. Netto explained that they had to leave.
---------------------------------
At Scilabs:
Netto and Meiru rushed to the Scilabs, when they got there, they saw Enzan and Impmon, Miyabi, Yuriko and Musyamon. Meijin and Yuuichiro opened the door and signaled for them to come in, and then Guilmon and Leomon materialized. The tamers, yuriko, the digimon and the scientists entered the laboratory to discuss these new findings.
"So, Miyabi...You E-Mailed us to inform us that Dr. Albert Wily has been abducted. How did you discover this?" Yuuichirou asked.
Yuriko raised her hand to talk and said "I...I told him about it...I saw it happen, you see..."
FLASHBACK:
Yuriko was driving home from her part-time job. She thought she would visit Dark Miyabi for a little bit before returning home to her twin sister, Mariko. Deciding to take a shortcut, she took the expressway. As she drove by the scilabs, she noticed Wily talking to a mysterious figure. Yuriko got out of her car and stood there, curious.
"I'm sorry, my student...But i no longer seek world destruction." Wily said flatly. "Hikari Netto and his friends have shown me the truth..."
"Wily-sama! Listen to the lunacy that comes out of your mouth! Helping humans...Bah! Remember how the humans shunned you? How they persecuted you!?" The professor spat.
"They didn't shun me, they decided to choose network technology over robotics, sure, besides, i see now that i was never really persecuted. Humans are generally good, and you should see that, too!" Wily said, trying to talk some sense into his former pupil.
The professor screamed in frustration, and held out a small, square device with a button and antenna on it. When he pressed the button, a net made from steel rods and steel wire sprang out from a slot in the device and ensnared Dr. Wily. Yuriko ran up to them and tried to stop him.
"W-Wily!!" She yelled.
Not after she took two steps, the mad scientist had dashed in front of her, and was face-to-face with her. Yuriko stifled back a gasp as the professor smirked at her. In a second, he punched her hard in the jaw, and again in the stomach. As she fell over, he stomped on her left hand.
"Tell your little friend Hikari Netto that I will get my revenge, and that your precious Dr. Wily is working for ME!" He said.
Lying helplessly on the ground, Yuriko could only watch as was dragged into an unmarked black car by his former student. Ten minutes later, the pain subsided, and Yuriko could get herself back into her car and drive to Miyabi's place to tell him what happened.
END OF FLASHBACK.
As soon as she was done with her story, Yuriko was clinging to Miyabi's shoulder whispering "I'm sorry..." Over and over and over again in his ear.
Miyabi was too concerned about Yuriko being so close to him to think about this new information, he never was the social type, after all...
"Wait a minute...." Meijin started.
Meijin grabbed a copy of yesterday's paper and said "The professor just escaped from a maximum security facility. There's a front-page article about this right here!!"
Netto swallowed hard. A villain from the past has resurfaced and is after him. All he could think about was what would happen to the people he cared about if he had fallen? Netto was snapped out of his thoughts when Guilmon asked
"Netto? Are you O.K? And who's the professor???"
"Wait...Dr. Wily....Ain't that that old coot who helped us destroy the D-Reaper 2 years ago!?" Impmon blurted.
"Impmon, be polite!" Enzan scolded.
Rockman and Roll looked on and then at each other.
"We will contact the government, the military... Even the digital world...ANYONE!! The professor needs to be found at all costs!!!" Yuuichirou declared.
Suddenly, a scientist peeked the door open by a couple of inches and said "U-Umm, i'm sorry to interrupt your important meeting, but we have big news!"
"You have permission to speak, sir." Meijin said.
"Well, we are now successfully able to open network connections to the digimon world and the cyberworld! Now navis and digimon have easier access to each other's domains!" He declared.
"Wonderful!! The timing couldn't be better!" Yuuichirou cheered.
Netto, Meiru, Enzan and Miyabi plugged their respective navis into the Scilab computer. They saw a link going into the digital world and followed it. They were in a desert area, and there were indeed network roads, websites, stores and netnavis there, as well as the digimon that inhabited the digital world.
"Impressive..." Blues said.
Roll stood a few feet apart from Rockman and looked at the desert sunset in awe.
Meanwhile, a Ponchomon walked up and said "Wow, the view is beautiful, isn't it?"
"Oh, yeah!" Rockman replied, focusing on Roll's silhoutte against the sun.
Meanwhile, in the ruins of World 3's former headquarters....
Dr. Wily was inside of a cage with grilles made from lasers. The professor was holding three PETs, each containing a darkloid. Behind him were Copyroids lined up like soldiers.
"Think, Wily-sama! Imagine deleting this tainted world, and then creating an incredible world built by, about and for US!" The professor declared, a psychotic grin appearing on his face.
"Nothing you can say or do can ever make me change my mind, professor! I've changed my ways, and you should too!!" Wily scorned.
The Professor lowered his head and stood silent for a few moments. He then snickered to himself.
"You know, Wily...When a villain takes a hostage and their hostage refuses to join them, those bad guys do things unimaginable...However, i respect and admire you too much to HURT you, much less KILL you... ...So be it, you will stand by and watch as i cleanse this filthy world myself!!"
The mad scientist proceeded to plug in the darkloids, the darkloids inside the copyroids entered the internet as well.
"Listen up, your mission is to find...That program. Do not lose sight of your goal! That program is key for our mission!!!" The professor urged.
