Chapter 23 - The Next Mission

As soon as the group fell out of the portal, on top of one another, Dr. Knox ran in and rushed Duo, Rex, Kiru, and Haru to the medical room along with his nurses. He began quickly stitching up the sword wound on Duo's chest, while the nurses were taking care of Haru's leg and Kiru's arm and chest, which was heavily bruised and slightly burned from the grenade. The four of them had been ordered, under penalty of death, not to move and stay in bed by the Doc.

The four boys were laying in the medical room, they had just had to endure listening to the Doc go off on them, for the 'foolish stunt' as he put it.

Rex was grumbling under his breath, "I don't get it, I didn't get shot, I didn't get cut, I didn't get bitten by a rabid digimon, and I sure as hell wasn't blasted by a grenade, so why do I have to stay in bed like the rest of you!"

"I think it's the Doc's way of punishing you," said Haru. Rex was fuming, aside from a few bruises, he was okay.

"He knows we left to rescue those people right, so why is he treating us like a bunch of stupid kids," Kiru was also feeling angry, he couldn't understand how the Doc could be mad at them for what they did.

"It's because he cares!" One of the nurses walked into the room, "You four idiots almost got yourselves killed!"

"What choice did we have!" Kiru was getting angrier, "Those people were gonna die if someone didn't do something!"

"I understand that, but just charging in and getting yourselves killed as well, doesn't help anyone!" The young nurse slammed the hospital door and left, before Kiru could retort again.

Haru, "Woah, calm down Kiru, in the end it won't matter. All that matters is that everyone is okay."

"Everyone is not okay." Haru, Kiru, and Rex turned to Duo. "Kuwagamon and Kunemon didn't make it." So many things had been running through Duo's head since they got back. What could he possibly do to make things up to that sweet old lady and that little boy, who had lost their best friends because of him. Who was that young man who was leading the DATS soldiers, when the man's glasses had been knocked off, Duo eye's locked with his, and Duo had been overcome by a strange sense of foreboding. Finally there was Hawkeye, as Duo thought back to his fight with the man, he remembered that the entire battle Hawkeye had a gun on him, yet for some reason he never used it. If Hawkeye had truly meant to kill him, he could have simply drawn the gun and shot Duo at anytime, but for some reason he never did.

"Hey, it's not your fault man, it's DATS's," Rex's attempt to make Duo feel better, didn't work.

The door suddenly opened and the four boys turned their heads as Setsuna, Kanda, Lavi, and Shikamaru walked in.

Lavi, "You four doing alright?"

"Been better, but alright I guess," Haru was trying to lighten the mood, "thanks Lavi, Shikamaru, if you guys hadn't shown up when you did, well you know."

Lavi walked up next to Haru with a smile on his face, at the same time Shikamaru stepped up to Duo, Setsuna stood next to Rex, and Kanda stood next to Kiru.

"This is from everyone by the way," said Lavi.

Haru, "Huh? What is?"

Lavi, Shikamaru, Kanda, and Setsuna's fists suddenly slammed into all four boys faces knocking their heads back against the beds.

Setsuna, "You four, ARE COMPLETE IDIOTS!"

"What was that for?" Asked Kiru, nursing his now swollen cheek.

Lavi, "How could you four run off without any of us!"

Shikamaru, "Did you think we would turn our backs on those people or something?"

Setsuna, "Do you think any of us care if the Doc thinks we shouldn't be out fighting?"

The four of them were unable to reply, especially Rex who was out cold from Setsuna's punch.

Duo, "We just... most of you were still injured, I didn't want to risk your guy's lives. Honestly I planned to go alone, but..."

Setsuna, "Well that makes you king dumbass!"

"Every single one of us would have been more than willing to go as well, even Hisagi said he would have went, even though he can't exactly walk right now," said Shikamaru placing a cigarette in his mouth.

"Angemon and Andromon, were planning to hide the information from us," Duo wasn't arguing, he was just letting them know that particular fact.

"I know, and we're gonna be having a long talk with them," said Setsuna. She looked down at Rex who was still unconscious with a comically big lump on his head. She slapped him across the face and woke him up.

"Everyone is pretty pissed at you guys, we're all a team, you guys can't go out and try to endure the load by yourselves, we're here too. You have to be willing to count on all of us and let us handle part of the load as well," Shikamaru walked away after his little speech, Setsuna and Lavi followed.

"Um, can I ask you one thing, why did 'you' come here exactly," Kiru was pointing at Kanda, who hadn't said a single word.

"Everyone was drawing straws to see who would get to hit you Urashima, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity," Kanda left the room, leaving Kiru pissed.

"Thank you for agreeing to answer our questions, I know this is hard for you," Angemon and Andromon sat with Sayo in the command room.

"You said that Kuwagamon and Kunemon had been living with you and your grandson for the last three years correct," Andromon already felt bad for saying their names out loud.

"Yes, that's right," It hurt Sayo, to hear their names, but she continued to stay strong.

"Can I ask how DATS never came after any of you until recently?" The one thing that Andromon didn't understand, was how two digimon could live in the human world for the last three years, without being detected by DATS.

"Well, when I was younger Kuwagamon was able to visit the human world without any problem. I lived in a pretty secluded area, near a large forest so he was able to keep himself hidden. He would stay with me for sometime years at a time, before returning back to this world... his world." Sayo stopped for a second before continuing, "There was a portal that opened between the two worlds every few months that he used. He would always promise me he would return, and he always did, but about twenty years ago, he came back to the real world and was attacked by that organization. He managed to keep me hidden from them, and escaped back to his world. I thought I'd never see him again after that, but years later, he returned carrying a strange device."

Angemon, "What kind of device?"

"It's hard to describe, it had a bunch of different glowing lights on it though. He said he got it from another digimon, and that as long as he stayed within its range he would be undetectable to that organization, and he was. It was like when I was a little girl again, he was able to live with me without the fear of being attacked by those men," Sayo paused again, "When Leon's parents died, I was left to raise him alone, there wasn't anyone around for him to play with, so Kuwagamon returned to the digital world and came back with Kunemon."

Andromon and Angemon remained quiet letting her continue her story.

"Those two became instant friends, and were inseparable," a tear ran down her cheek, "um... about a week ago, Kunemon and Leon were playing and they accidentally damaged Kuwagamon's device. It was an accident, and they didn't mean it, but before we knew it there were men surrounding our house. Kuwagamon tried to fight them off but was outnumbered by their digimon and brought down," Sayo wiped away the tears running down her face.

Andromon, "Did Kuwagamon ever mention to you where he got that device from?"

"Um, I think he said something about Junk Village, and someone called Datamon."

Angemon, "Do you by any chance know what happened to the device?"

"Those men took it."

"Thank you," Angemon stood up and offered his hand to the old woman and helped her out of the chair, "we'll have one of the Guardromon show you to your room, I know it's hard but you should try to rest."

Sayo nodded as one of the Guardromon stepped forward and kindly offered to show her where her room was. After she left Angemon turned to Andromon.

Andromon, "If what she said is true, we have to find Datamon."

"I agree, DATS will have surely examined that device, and I'm sure they'll be searching for whoever made it."

"We have to find Datamon before they do, his device can be extremely useful to us," Andromon began to type away on the large computer, "Junk Village is located on the Omega continent, that's pretty far away."

"We'll send a group of the destined to search for Datamon, they've already proved to us that they're willing to do whatever it takes to stop DATS."

"I agree, but let them rest for tonight, we'll send them out first thing tomorrow."

Angemon nodded and left the command room as Andromon continued to search his database for any information about Datamon.

(The Next Morning)

Andromon had spent the night trying to uncover any information he could on a Datamon in Junk Village, but had turned up with nothing. Meanwhile Angemon was gathering six of the destined for the search mission and was having them gather in one of the hangars.

Kankuro, Ling, Uryu, Kotaro, Hinata, and their partners were standing in the hangar with Andromon who was going over what he knew about where they were going and what they needed to do.

"Kotaro, Gaomon, and Hinata are the best when it comes to tracking. I need you to use whatever you can to find Datamon." Kotaro, Gaomon, and Hinata nodded. "The rest of you," Andromon pointed to Kankuro, Monodramon, Ling, Gomamon, Uryu, Tentomon, and Palmon, "need to assist them in any way you can and be ready for any attacks by DATS, I'm sure they'll be using whatever they can to find Datamon and wipe him out."

"Got it," Kankuro nodded his head and Monodramon mimicked him.

"Hey don't forget about us!" Rex and Flamon ran into the hangar followed by Angemon, "Jeez, I didn't think the Doc was ever gonna let me out of the damn hospital."

"Rex, Flamon, you two will also be supporting Kotaro, Gaomon, and Hinata's search. Also like I just told everyone else, keep an eye out for DATS."

Flamon, "Understood."

"One of the Guardromon will be flying you all over the sea in the D-Cyclone," Andromon pointed to an aircraft that looked more or less like a regular helicopter. It was bigger then most helicopters and could easily fit the entire group, without the digimon having to be stuffed into the digivices.

"Alright let's go guys," Rex turned to Kankuro, Uryu, Ling, Kotaro, and Hinata, who all gave him the silent treatment. The five of them and their digimon walked past Rex, ignoring his presence and loaded onto the helicopter.

Rex, "They can't stay mad at me forever can they?"

Flamon, "I hope not, it's not just you guys, the rest of the digimon have been giving me, Veemon, Strabimon, and Dorumon the cold shoulder as well."

"When this mission is over we gotta try to find a way to make it up to them," Rex sighed and jumped into the helicopter with Flamon. Once everyone had loaded on and taken their seats the Guardromon fired up the engine as the lift raised the helicopter up onto the streets above.

As the lift rose, a building slid to the side, revealing the helicopter lift underneath it. Guardromon took off into the air and Andromon opened a hole in the barrier for them to exit out of.

Rex looked out the window as they flew away from the city, "This is gonna be a long trip."

(Back In The Real World)

"Oh I can't hear anything!" A young, short, teenage girl with dark hair tied into pigtails, wearing a black frilly dress was pressing her ear up against a large decorated door, straining to hear any voices on the other side.

"Knock that off Violet, the boss wouldn't want you to eavesdrop on him," an old man sat on a bench a little ways away, he had long white hair that hung just past his shoulders and a long white beard that hung to his chest.

"Oh but Venom, I wanna know what's happening to Hawkeye!" Several minutes earlier, Hawkeye had stepped into their leaders room.

"I'm sure he's in a lot of trouble for allowing that kid to live," Violet and Venom turned their heads as an attractive women with long red hair walked up to them followed by a bald, very tall and muscular man.

"Lust, Frost what do you two want," Violet wasn't happy to see the older women.

"Same thing as you, to know what's happening to our dear Hawkeye, right Frost," Lust turned her head towards Frost and found him staring off into space, not paying any attention to her. "Pay attention when I'm talking to you, ya big lummox!"

"Huh, oh sorry Lust," as soon as Lust turned back away, Frost continued his daydreaming.

"Venom, have you heard anything about Atlas?" Asked Violet, trying to ignore Lust's presence.

"He's in pretty bad shape, the fool deserves it for allowing himself to be beaten by one of those teenagers," Frost and Lust nodded and agreed with what Venom said.

"You're all mean, Atlas is always really nice me!"

"Yeah, because you're still a kid," Violet turned to Lust as she spoke.

"What was that!"

Frost walked over and sat down next to Venom as the two girls began to exchange insults with each other. Their argument continued for several minutes, before the doors finally opened and Hawkeye stepped out.

"What are you four doing here?" Hawkeye turned his head from Frost and Venom who were quietly sitting on a bench, to Violet and Lust who were both on the ground wrestling each other.

Lust pushed Violet off of her and stood up, "So tell us Hawkeye, what did the boss say to you?"

"He told me to gather the four of you and begin preparations," everyone's heads turned.

Venom, "Preparations for what?"

Hawkeye stepped past the four of them and signaled for them to follow, "I'll show you."

~To Be Continued~

Failing and unsure, Why am I losing my nerve
Wasting my time, Why do I only see this through the hurt

I can't get it out of my head, I can't get it out that
I do this to myself, Me and no one else
So help me, Tell me how to break free
I'm to blame and that's what really hurts
That's what really hurts
You get what you deserve

Jaded and broken
Out of place waiting my turn
Guilty fractured
And like you I don't know the answer

What You Deserve by The Exies

Please Review, I would really appreciate it.

Notes:

Violet is the girl's codename, not her real name.

Took me a long time to decide on these four characters code names.
