Digimon Tamers Crismon Episode 3: Digimon, the gathering

Simon thought to infiltrate the building through a vent that he found on the side of building nearby the dumpster. From there he crawled through the vent until he received a call on his comm. attached to his goggle strap. "Hey Simon, where are you right now?" Leeron asked on the other side of the line. Simon casually responded "I'm in the ventilation system of the Tokyo Metropolitan building if that's what you were wondering." On the other side Leeron's jaw dropped and Kittan just walked in. "I heard some commotion what just happened?" Leeron responded "Simon's in the most highly secure place in all of Shinjuku."

Kittan was a bit confused by Leeron's statement but then said "Simon, as your father I have one question." Simon on the other side was listening and said "What's that?" "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING MORON!?" Kittan yelled as Simon clutched his ear in pain. "Look, I got a phone call from this facility and I need to make sure we don't end up threatened alright?" Simon responded in somewhat irritation. "Well, do you have a plan Simon?" Kittan asked knowing nothing would stop him. Simon kept walking through and responded "Right now I'm trying to crawl through the vents and as soon as I find an opening I'll scan the room and come up with one." Leeron was a bit amused by his declaration and said "You do know you're not alone right?" Simon smiled and said "Of course, I couldn't have gotten far without you guys right?" Leeron and Kittan nodded in response and Simon just found an opening.

Meanwhile Yamaki was looking at the reports given to him by Janyu who was performing numerous scans of the town to find the Shadow Tamer. "Sir, I've scanned all over town and so far nothing has come up." Janyu said to Yamaki who was checking the reports. "I know we should be able to track him based on where his Digimon partner is. But it seems that so far all we get seems to be just in some part of the alleyways." Yamaki said growing a bit frustrated with their lack of progress as he continues flicking the lighter open and closed constantly.

"I wonder if we should just give up on this whole theory of having a Digimon Tamer take care of these recent bio-emergences." Janyu said as he turned to face his boss who then said "No, I've risked too much in just calling that apartment building he seems to be entering whenever he's done for the night." Meanwhile footsteps were heard down the hall and two security guards took notice but were quickly knocked out. "Floor 30 huh? Time to see what's really going on here." The figure said before pulling out his hacking device. Back in the other room Yamaki kept on ranting about how keen he is on getting the Shadow Tamer on his side and didn't even notice that he was standing right in front of Janyu. "If you were really insistent on having me on board with this whole thing, you should have simply approached me face to face." Simon said getting Yamaki and Janyu's attention.

Yamaki was shocked to see that the Shadow Tamer managed to get past his security system but Janyu was studying his appearance and thought "His appearance, and his Digivice. Jenrya has a Terriermon, not Guilmon. Well, at least my worries are put to rest for now." Janyu then breathed a sigh of relief until the Shadow Tamer approached him and said "Excuse me, are you Janyu Wong?" Janyu then looked up at the Shadow Tamer and said "Yes, I am. Do you know Jenrya Li Wong?" The Shadow Tamer responded "I do, he's a good friend of mine. Don't worry he's not doing any of this nightly thing with me so you can just momentai alright?" Janyu then realized that this man standing in front of him was telling the truth about knowing Jenrya considering he knew Terriermon's catch phrase. "To tell you the truth, my son's a tamer like you. Only he thinks that his Digimon is a secret to me."

The Shadow Tamer folded his arms and said "So, Jenrya has never told you. You just happened to figure it out on your own, correct?" Janyu nodded and the Shadow Tamer turned to Yamaki who ended up getting over his shock and said "I'm guessing you really were at that apartment weren't you?" The Shadow Tamer shook his head and said "I only heard about these calls because my client told me about it. I don't live in that area." Yamaki a bit shocked said "Very well then. I'm going to ask you a simple question Mr. Shadow Tamer." The Shadow Tamer shrugged his shoulders and said "Well then, lay it on me."

Yamaki then decided to show the Shadow Tamer the recent reports of several Bio-emergences. "Over the course of two years we've received several bio-emergences involving somewhat destructive Digimon. However it seems as soon as they arrive, they end up terminated." The Shadow Tamer looks over these reports and responds "So I'm guessing you want me to be your personal lapdog and hunt down each of these bio-emergences huh?" Yamaki nods in response to his statement and the Shadow Tamer then says "You know, I'm not the only Digimon Tamer in this whole town sir." Yamaki gave a look that suggested he was somewhat intrigued while Janyu was a bit worried about this statement. "If that's true then I need to know their names." Yamaki said to the Shadow Tamer who responded "You should ask your worker about one of them, I'm sure he knows."

Yamaki looked at Janyu who then said "Leave my son out of this nonsense! He doesn't need to fight if he doesn't want to!" The Shadow Tamer went up to Janyu and said "I understand you don't want him to fight but what if I can't be there for some reason? What if I'm incapacitated and there's no way to help my Digimon out?" Janyu was a bit shocked at these questions and he then said "Did you say those exact words to my son?" The Shadow Tamer nodded and responded "Not those exact words but close enough. I just told him to do what his conscience dictates. It told him to protect his family considering that this does happen." Janyu then stood up and said "At least I know there's someone out there who can protect him in case he does go out there." Yamaki then said to the Shadow Tamer "Should I contact him for any of this information?" The Shadow Tamer shook his head and said "I'll be the one to tell him all of this. Besides there's no need for him to receive a suspicious phone call just to guilt trip him."

Yamaki understood and decided to not call the Wong residence. "So then, the same should apply to the other Tamer as well?" Yamaki asked and The Shadow Tamer responded "Yes, the same should apply to her as well. I'll be the one to explain this whole situation to them." "So that means you'll help us out with these bio-emergences?" The Shadow Tamer nodded and said "How about whenever there's a bio-emergence you call my client and he'll get into contact with me." Yamaki nodded and shook hands with The Shadow Tamer.

"Also Janyu, you might want to tell your son about how you connect to all of this. Especially given that you are one of the monster makers." Janyu seemed not all that surprised and asked "How did you figure that one out." To that the Shadow Tamer said "I read the description of each of the Monster makers online and you fit the description of codename Tao perfectly. Except somewhat older." After the Shadow Tamer left the room Yamaki and Janyu exchanged looks and Yamaki said "You should go home Janyu, your kids are probably worried sick about you." Janyu responded "But what about all of the bio-emergences?" Yamaki put a hand on his shoulder and said "If it seems like a big one I'll have you come in. In the meantime I have Tally and Riley up there to scan for anymore for now." Janyu looked up to see the two women currently working on scanning the digital world for any bio-emergence.

Later outside Simon reunited with Guilmon and said "Well the good news is that now I've got some intel on the government guys who called me. The bad news is that now I'm working for them." Guilmon was a bit confused and asked "Why is that bad news?" Simon responded "Well, it's mostly because now I have quite a bit less freedom in terms of doing nightly activities and when and if I receive orders I'll have to act on those orders. And if I don't I'll end up not only losing some intelligence on the digital world but also they'll track me down and force me to cooperate." Guilmon understood what Simon was saying and asked "Since you did cooperate, is there anything other than intelligence you received?" Simon responded "Well, I have to tell my circle of close friends which consist of Henry, Rika, Nia and Suzie. Along with Erwin who in case Nia ends up getting involved might want to know about this." Guilmon then asked "So remind me why Nia might get involved with this?" Simon then answered "Considering her contact with Digimon there's a possibility that both her and Suzie could become Tamers in the near future."

Guilmon nodded in understanding and they both went home to rest up for the remainder of the night. Meanwhile a mysterious cold figure watched as Simon and Guilmon walked towards their home. "Damn! He's not cold enough to be worthy of my service." The figure said before pondering who he could go after later.

"But then again, there's always the Digimon queen I've heard quite a bit about. Hahahahahahahahaha!" The figure faded away as though he decided on his target. Simon stopped walking for a bit and Guilmon concerned asked "What's wrong Simon?" Simon looked behind him for a bit and said "I think tomorrow, we might have an unexpected guest to take out." Guilmon blinked a few times before asking "A human? Or a Digimon?" Simon shrugged his shoulders and responded "Considering that unless you're evil enough to give off a cold chill in the atmosphere it has to be some type of Digimon. I'll warn the others at school tomorrow." They continued walking towards the apartment knowing the possibility of what could be awaiting the Digimon Tamers tomorrow.

How will Simon tell his friends about working for the government? Who is the mysterious figure seeking out a cold-hearted person? Find out next time on Digimon Tamers Crimson!
