Arc 2 Ch 10

Previously, the kids were separated from each other the boys went with the officer Digimon and the girls were bailed out by an unknown benefactor. Hina and Yvette are escorted into a black limo by two weregarurumons wearing black suits and black fedoras with the symbol of a Bear with Roses on their hats. One of the weregarurumon was virus variant and the other was the vaccine variant. Donniemon kept his eyes on them with a hard glare, as well as Sealomon who seemed on edge. The weregarurumon open the door to the limo allowing them both inside. Yvette got in while Hina hesitated for a second, Yvette noticed her worry "Ah, I guess I should say I know these Digimon. They are… how you say… employees? Now, who they work for I'm unsure of but we are in no danger"

Everyone feels a bit of relief for now. The weregarurumon close the doors and go to the front of the car and start driving. Donniemon asks, "You know these brutes?"

"Ah, not really. But, that symbol is of my family. So, one of five people have set this up and we shall figure it out in a bit." Yvette says nonchalantly.

Hina asks, "Do you think it's, Otets and Papa? I didn't think they'd have connections all the way here too… We did sort of disappear on everyone." She ponders for a moment.

Sealomon says, "Who are they? Ye know, when we met I never asked how ye got 'ere or where ye both came from. I sorta went with it ye know? So…" Sealomon looks at her with curious eyes and motioning her with his flipper.

Donniemon chimes in, "Ach, ja! So much vas happening, I never thought of it. How unaufmerksam of me…. I apologize mein partner!" Donniemon seems to smack himself in the head. Yvette pets him with a smile on her face, "It's ok. It's not a big story. Though, Hina it started with you that day why not tell it?"

Hina speaks, "Well, it started with an article I was doing for school. I asked Yvette to help me with researching different parts of Europe since it was supposed to be a group project, but my classmates ditched me for being unapproachable and unfriendly."

Sealomon says, "Whaaaa? You are the kindest and most sincere soul I have ever met! Bah!"

Donniemon adds, "Vell you aren't the most sociable but, I vill admit that's harsh. Continue."

Hina shrugs, "It's middle school, other kids are annoying anyway. So, Yvette and me were doing a project and suddenly a pop-up appeared. It was one of those spam pop-ups, so I just clicked the X button like usual and all of a sudden, we were transported to the top of the mountain. Where we met you eating your lunch."

Donniemon says, "Ah, I don't remember there being a secret portal there. Though, it was a nice sandvich I vas eating."

Sealomon says, "Go on Lass! How did Donniemon become yer partner Yvette?"

Donniemon says, "Ahem! I can answer that! If you don't mind?" He looks towards Yvette.

Yvette says nonchalantly, "Not at all"

Donniemon continues the story, "I vas eating mein sandvich, and all of a sudden both of these human children just plop down on my nest. I did not know vat to do except yell at them for intruding on my home and messing up mein nest. Then Yvette walks towards me, looks me in the eye and tells me 'You have beautiful eyes.' Mein heart burst out of the chest, no one ever gave me such a compliment. I forgave them for it instantly. Though, suddenly, the mountain started to crumble. Ve aren't sure of the reason, but ve ended up being chased down the mountain by corrupted monsters. It was all uhm… strange. Obviously, we made it out but… I lost my home and Yvette told mich she would find me ein new home. At that moment, I knew she was my new partner. So, ve go to the desert and there ve meet you."

Sealomon claps, then barks, "Such a beautiful story! Aye, I have a leak coming out me eyes!"

The vehicle stops in front of a large gate.

Yvette says, "Ah we are here."

Everyone looks out the window. There is a security guard booth that stops them from going further. The Weregarurumon driver nods at the Veggiemon guard in his booth. The barrier lifts and they proceed to a large mansion surrounded by vegetation and small ponds. They stop at the front of the mansion and are let out by both Weregarurumon who open the doors for them after exiting the limo. They are faced with the large doors of the mansion which open to reveal a tall, platinum blonde man in his early 20s with a Bancholilymon smiling right next to him. The man shouts, "Ah! Sestra! How you have worried the family! Where the hell did you go?! Do you know how much Otets worried for you both!"

Yvette sighs, "Brother please! Let me- "

Her brother shouts, "Nyet! Father had to un-retire and come back to the family business to find you!"

Another even deeper voice shouts, "Is that sestra! Where have you been!? You had nearly put babushka in the morgue! She waited for her dear grandchildren to visit, and her only granddaughter disappears without a trace to this god forsaken land! You both worried your poor Otets and the rest of the family!" This was a dark haired, tall man with grey eyes and pale skin.

Then another voice comes out, this time it was an old woman who approaches "Is that Yvette? Come, come we yell at you inside!" The old woman smacks both men, "We discuss family, in family walls! Not to the outside you nitwits!" The old woman turns around and walks inside with a cane and a walker yelling in russian. Both men also start yelling in Russian while walking inside. They are escorted into the hallway.

Sealomon whispers to Hina, "What happening here?"

Hina shakes her head equally confused, "Yvette has a very large family…"

Sealomon, "How is the whole family here?"

Yvette tells them, "They are resourceful."

Donniemon just stares intently, watching everything unfold like a bad Russian soap opera.

Inside another man appears, this time old and wrinkly with a walker "Are those the girls? I can't see well… Yvette. Is that you?" The old man is escorted by a maid Aruramon.

Maid Aruramon says, "Calm down sir! We don't want you to have another- "

"Bah! I want to see my dear *cough, cough*" the old man hacks and wheezes.

Another maid Aruramon comes around with a chair, "Sir, please sit down."

The old man sits, "Yea, yea! Yvette, you give your old baba a heartache! Why would you leave us like this? We can do the digimans too. You see, this old *cough, cough, wheeze*" The maids rush to give him water and make him as comfy as possible.

Yvette whispers to Hina, "He does this all the time, that old coot is strong as a bear. He just likes the attention." Yvette speaks, "Am I allowed to - "

The platinum blonde man says, "No. We yell at you more! You bring great distress to us all!"

The old woman smacks the blonde man, "Hush! It's that behavior that probably made her runaway!"

The platinum blonde man tears slightly, "Baba… how can you say this? I love my Sestra! All my heart! If anything, it was Jericho"

The dark-haired man named Jericho seems offended. "Me?! It is your hot-headed behavior that destroyed Sestra's new car, Vlad!"

Donniemon lets out the loudest screech, "CAWWW!" Everyone's attention goes to the small bird, "Excuse me, but who are you people? Why are you so noisy? Do you not want Yvette's side of the story?" He looks around at the shocked family, "It is very interessant." He says in a sing songy voice.

You can hear Yvette's grandfather whisper to the grandmother in russian: (eta ptitsia nemetskaya)

Donniemon tilts his head at the remark and the fact the room is still silently staring at him. Yvette pats Donniemon, "Hina, Sealomon and Donniemon, this is my family baba, babushka, eldest vlad and middle child Jericho" Yvette looks to her family, "Everyone I did not run away, I was transported to random mountain in another server with younger sestra Hina. So please stop this. I will explain in the other room. Now go!"

Everyone seems to accept this and prepares the grand living room for the small conference. Yvette looks to Hina, "As you know, our first language is not English. Feel free to go out and explore, this will take a long while of… family matters. You understand hmm? Feel free to boss the servants around, I'll see you later my dear."

Hina nods, "Laters." Hina and Sealomon are left alone with servants tiding up the room. Hina turns to Sealomon "Anywhere you wanna go first Sealomon?"

Sealomon thinks, "Oi! I saw a big lake outside! Let's go lounge there!"

"Sounds good" Hina responds.

Location: Lake Near Mansion.

Out at the lake on the side of the mansion, Sealomon and Hina enjoy the outside while being catered to by servants. Sealomon is enjoying swimming and doing tricks while Hina is laid back on a lounge chair reading a book. Sealomon approaches her, "Oi! Why don't ye come on in with me, lass? The water is fun!"

Hina says, "I don't have a swimsuit."

Sealomon tilts his head, "Eh? Sounds like an excuse to me."

Hina narrows her eyes, "Ok, I don't wanna go in."

Sealomon lays back, "You never wanna do things… Always reading or ignoring people even in the worse of situations. Yar gonna turn into a hermitcrabmon if ye keep up like this! Are ye even a kid?"

Hina scoffs, "Of course I'm a kid… I just don't like… what's that?" Hina points to an object moving in the water.

Suddenly a bukamon with a messenger bag pops out from the water, "Secret Seal! I found you! It is I, the indomitable Buki! Here to deliver a message." It says in a deep voice.

"Secret Seal? Are you some sort of 80s rip off of a popular cartoon?" Hina asks narrow eyed while looking at Sealomon.

Sealomon looks offended, "What? No! I am a retired S.E.A.L. I don't do these missions anymore."

Hina asks, "What's S.E.A.L?"

Buki and Sealomon say together, "Secret Elite Aquatic Legion" They both do a complicated handshake with their flippers slapping them back and forth then doing a somersault and suddenly both of them land on their noses doing a pose in the shape of an anvil.

Hina, "Oooookay? So…"

Sealomon says, "It's the equivalent of what you kids call spies, secret organization or underground forces who stand for the oppressed?"

Hina nods, "Ah ok. So does that mean Buki has a mission for you?"

Buki states proudly, "Aye, Lass!" Buki faces Sealomon, "Secret Seal, I have a mission for ye."

Sealomon declines, "I'm sorry, but I'm out of the spy game. I'm a partner Digimon now, my responsibility is to the lass 'ere."

Hina scoffs, "Pfft."

Sealomon looks mildly offended, "What was that fer?"

Hina shrugs, "Well you were complaining we don't do anything. Then all of a sudden, this top secret mission pops up, and you don't wanna do it."

Sealomon responds, "Well… uh, I mean ye didn't wanna get in the water earlier so…"

Hina, "Yea water, it's pointless splashing. But this is different. This is actually cool."

Sealomon looks shocked, "Ye don't like swimming?! Why didn't ye say somethin'!"

Hina, "I did. I said I didn't wanna swim."

Sealomon sighs, he turns over to Buki "Alright, what's the mission?"

Buki says, "We can't speak here. Meet at the 'Outpost' at 0600 tomorrow, an operative and an informant will be there with everything you need for the mission. Buki out!" Buki disappears into the lake in a puff of vapor.

Hina asks, "The outpost?"

Sealomon nods, "Aye, it's me old workplace. Just rest up today, it's going to be a long one tomorrow."

Location: Yvette's Home

The next day, Yvette finally cleared up all misunderstandings with her family after a series of crying, shouting, and reconciling with her side of the family. Hina and Sealomon brief her on the events at the lake and that they would be taking on a secret mission. Yvette was intrigued and decided to join them, her family finally calmed down but made her promise to call them on their 'special' D phones if anything happens. Vlad says, "What's the point of family if you don't use them."

0600 hour- Location: The Outpost Clothing Center. Downtown Virus District.

Sealomon, Donniemon and the girls enter the clothing shop. It's reminiscent of Marcy's in the human world except with digital clothing and outfits. A Neemon is sleeping on a chair with the sign security on it.

Next to that is the customer help desk with an Impmon reading the newspaper manning it. Next to impmon is Reneemon who is doing her nails and chatting on the phone about the latest gossip. Sealomon says, "Follow my lead." They approach the desk where Impmon looks up from his newspaper and views them them up and down, "What?" He looks at them peeved they'd disturbed his time.

Sealomon says, "I- "

Before he says anything, Impmon grabs a paper, balls it together and tosses it at Neemon who falls off his chair, "Huh?"

Impmon yells, "Hey! Do your job nitwit."

Neemon scrambles up, "Yes boss!" Neemon gets a metal detector and scans them.

"Ugh, can't find good help these days." Impmon sighs.

The metal detector goes off on Sealomon, Neemon says "Any metal objects on you? Materials?"

Sealomon says, "Uh, I'm made o' metal."

Neemon says, "Oh… well imma have to confiscate you…"

Impmon kicks him again, "We don't confiscate scrap metal." Impmon sneers at Sealomon.

Sealomon narrows his eyes and looks at Impmon, "Look, I'm 'ere because- "

Impmon interrupts him wagging his finger, "Nah, we don't allow scrap metal into the nice area. Get lost." He goes back to reading.

Sealomon seems lost for words, "Look here, I'm not leaving until I get what I'm looking for! Now ye 'elp me, or I'll call for yer manager!"

Impmon rolls his eyes, "Ugh… Reneemon."

Reneemon is talking loudly on her phone like a schoolgirl, "And she said…."

Impmon kicks Reneemon, "What!"

Impmon, "You got customers."

Reneemon looks at them, "Ugh, Fine." She walks around and brings them over to the fitting rooms hallway. "Ok, like what are you looking for? You kids look like you're into the Fishy look." She looks at Sealomon as if noticing him for the first time, "Oh, this explains so much. Ha, scrap metal!

Sealomon says, "Heh, nice to see you too…"

Reneemon giggles, "So, how can I help you Scrappy?"

"We are here for the Gomamon convention." He says in an unusual hoarse voice

Reneemon gives him a doubtful look, "Hmm, I don't want to be that girl. But are you sure you want that? Last I heard the Gomamon preferred to keep seals out of it."

Nearby Gomamon employees that were doing inventory and putting back clothes all turned to stare at him intently almost glaring. Sealomon glares back at them and looks away. Reneemon shrugs, "Alright" She leads them to a fitting room and places down some make up then leaves. Sealomon starts dressing everyone up as Gomamon.

Hina asks, "So… I thought we were meeting someone here?"

Sealomon says, "Just give it a moment."

Donniemon says, "What did you do to the Gomamon? They seemed… off?"

Yvette says, "I know dishonor when I see it comrade. You did something bad?"

Sealomon looks at her sort of shocked, he doesn't say anything.

Yvette says, "I see."

Hina asks, "Sealomon, do you want to-"

Suddenly the floor gives way, and everyone drops down, Donniemon looks shocked, "Yvette!"

Location: S.E.A.L Outpost.

Then the whole floor breaks down causing everyone to fall in except Donniemon who casually glides down. Everyone lands on a bunch of fish at the bottom.

Hina says, "Eww, dead fishes."

Sealomon slides down the silmey mess of fish. They are in some sort of small room with aquatic Digimon everywhere working diligently in laboratory outfits. A Vikemon with a high black suit approaches them, "Secret Seal! Long time and no idle chit chat, so I'll make this quick." Vikemon looks at the rest of them, "I see you brought a team already good! We will skip to the debriefing." They all start following the Vikemon down the laboratory.

Vikemon clears his throat, "Secret seal and team, we have received word the Rejects are collaborating with the CPS or Child Pirating Services."

Sealomon gasps, "They're back!"

Vikemon nods.

Hina asks, "Who are they?"

"This is an organization lead by four pirate lords, two of which identities are hidden. They specialize in abducting, kidnapping, hacking, tracking, and selling young humans against their will and wellbeing. Brainwashing them and turning them into Digimon slaves. Sometime ago we had thought we destroyed their organization a long time ago, partly thanks to Secret Seal. But we did not manage to find two of their pirate lords. Recently activity has increased drastically, and children have been disappearing at such a rate. We can not locate the children no matter how well we search or prepare bait. We have lost a few operatives unfortunately due to this. But this mission has been chosen specifically for Secret Seal."

Vikemon nods, "Yes human child?"

Hina says, "Wtf, doesn't this city have extra protections against this? Who are they selling to? Why are they doing this? Why are you doing this? How are they allowed to do this? Aren't the rangers in charge of this or the royal knights? Why is Sealomon chosen for this? I have so many questions… and it just keeps going."

Vikemon thinks for a second, "First off, this city is meant to protect against the trojan threats. The Rangers do not share the same interest as we do; Their focus is to protect the world as a whole, just as the royal knights are there to stop threats to Yggdrasil. There are many reasons why the vile are vile. Our job is not to ask why but to make sure it stops. As much as our intelligence is concerned we will not stand for humans nor digimon being brainwashed and forcibly sold to the highest bidder. However, to answer one question: Digimon need humans to get stronger beyond natural means. Either that be friendship or suffering."

Sealomon digivolves into (Red) Sealomon.

Hina looks at him amazed, "How did you digivolve?"

Sealomon says, "Hina, I can feel your fustrations as you voice them out here. I am your partner and I feel like this is the right thing to do. That's why I evolved. We can't explain evil or bad guys, this organization is dedicated to stopping nonconsensual actions like this and more. We protect those who can't protect themselves and stand with the righteous. This is not the job of the rangers nor the knights because these values aren't what they protect. That's why we exist, while the heroes protect our world we as individuals have too protect each other. Without us, there would be no reason for those groups to exist. We exist in a place where digimon aren't inherently good or evil. We too, are living creatures influenced by many things."

Vikemon says, "Well said Secret seal. S.E.A.L stands in the grey zones of all conflicts and we make decisions where others don't. Our operatives are the best of the best, if you don't know why we chose Secret Seal… You should ask him yourself." Vikemon snorts as if he made his point, "Now, as I was saying… we have received word that the rejects are planning on raiding the plaza, today. You are all going to blend in with the crowd as Chuumon. No matter what happens, do not blow your cover. You will be following the good drop off into the gateway and infiltrate their base. Your objective is to find their ledger and avoid the pirate lord, Boltboutamon." Vikemon looks at Sealomon closely, staring into his eyes, "Avoid it. At all cost. If you blow this, we will never find those children. Just like the last ones. Debriefing adjourned." Vikemon walks away to chat with some fellow coworkers.

Sealomon's gaze changes to a hardened look. Hina asks, "Who is Boltboutamon? And what did Vikemon mean?"

Donniemon speaks up, "I've met him once. It is the cruelest of Digimon! Created from the vorse things possible from the Dark Area. This is a Digimon you do not vant to cross. He… has done so many horrible things to human and Digimon. I… saw vhat he does to children." Donniemon closes his eyes and shudders.

Sealomon speaks, "Hina, guys… it's important in this mission that no matter what happens or what ye see. We do not blow cover. As Donniemon said, this is a true monster we are dealing with. A very cruel one" Sealomon looks away. "I do have a grudge, but this is not the time for that. Let us get ready, we have children to save!"

Location: Virus Plaza - Time: After Bugsy as Loscompadresmon are wheeling out the wagon.

At the plaza everyone is disguised as Chuumon, absolute chaos breaks out. They see Bugsy as Loscompadresmon and witness him try to calm digimon down.

Hina asks, "Should we intervene?"

Sealomon shakes his head, "Not yet, observe for now. He's handling himself well."

Yvette says, "He's grown up I see. Foolish as it is to fight outnumbered like this."

Loscompadresmon becomes surrounded by a bigger digimon and Gundramon tries to shred him with bullets. But, he digivolves into Dosguitarosmon and his aura causes majority of the digimon to dance uncontrollably.

Gundramon tries to resist but his tail shakes, "I… I can't control myself! The music is too strong!" he starts twerking and dancing the disco duck. "Nooooooo!"

The digimon that were once rioting are now dancing on the streets. Even the rangers are having a hard time resisting the groove. Donniemon is smiling, "Ah junge! Das ist gut."

They then witness the wagon filled with children break open and Bugsy clumsily land next to the gateway. Sealomon points at Motomiya and Etemon who push him into the portal, they both disappear along with the other Chuumon and Sukamon that participated in setting up the riot. "We go now hurry!"

The group jumps into the gateway right as it shuts down.

Location: On the other side of the gateway:

They arrive inside a pirate cove filled with illegal goods, imprisoned children and nasty digimon pirates.

Bugsy as the ghost bull stands back up after being pushed in the gateway, Motomiya takes a large mallet nearby and whacks him on the face. The ghost guitar unfolds into a skeletal apparition trying to defend him against the assault but chuumon and sukamon quickly over run him. The chuumon bite down on his joints as the Sukamon throw poop into his face blinding him. Bugsy is throwing the chuumon around, but the larger pirate Digimon join in and start wailing on him with random objects.

The girls manage to hide behind some boxes watching Bugsy and Elmurtemon get overwhelmed and beaten down to the ground viciously. Hina taps Sealomon whispering, "We have to do something!" Sealomon shakes his head, "No, we can't blow cover now… If we do that we won't be able to save the missing children!"

Even Yvette and Donniemon have a hard time standing still watching everything go down. Yvette says, "There must be a way."

Donniemon looks around and also brainstorms with Yvette.

Motomiya, "Ah, you should have kept your word child. And you, well you were always a disappointment. Man, ha. All that I sacrificed for you, and this is how you repay me son? Etemon grab him, I'll get the other one." Etemon separates Bugsy from the defeated ghost form.

They de generate into their prior forms. Bugsy gasps, "gah! Wh- what are you going to do?"

Motomiya picks up a mushroom from the pile and eats it while holding elmurtemons skull, "Crush him? Poke his eyes out? Rip his heart apart? I'm still decided what to do with it. After all, betrayal is not taken lightly here." Motomiya smiles twistedly. Elmurtemon says weakly, "Papa, it is me you want. Let him go, I did it!"

Motomiya still smiling, "oh nino, that gives me even more reason to do this." He picks up a large blade, "I wonder if humans can feel a digital blade. Oh ho ho! Those mushrooms are kicking in!" Motomiya starts giggling and laughing maniacally.

Yvette looks around and steps up, "Ahem sir!" she says in a high pitch voice.

Motomiya looks over to him with twisted dead eyes, "Ja?"

"Why don't we sell the kid instead? Since we couldn't get the rest…"

Motomiya thinks for a moment, "Hmm"

Sealomon speaks up also in a high pitch voice, "We can offer him to the lord! Let him take out his anger on them! In front of the ghostie!"

Motomiya grins, "I like that idea. Jajajajaja! Oh the boss has a much more foul temper than I do. When he sees the shipment missing, he'll make sure you both suffer. I might get a bonus since you are a special one! A child able to digivolve without a device!"
