Chapter 2: Friends found
With Digimon being acknowledged by humans,even things as war and criminalty increased,but even solutions to this problems. Even military forces started to use Digimon,like the police from around the world,Organizations such as F.B.I and ONU,and even detective agencies. One of these agencies,was managed by young boys and girls,who were between 18 and 20 years old. But despite this they were well recognised by the citizens of San Francisco for their ability of resolving cases in a very short time and for being an agency that uses Digimon support. This agency was known as Chesire cat. It was a little building in the centre of the city, with only two floors,but inside it was very big.
Kyoko and Kasai with their Digimon were heading to the agency. "Ok,Kasai! We're close to the agency!" Kyoko said. "Well,it wasn't too far from Diva club" Veedramon added. And it was true…The agency was near from where they were before.
"H-Hey! I already have DORUgamon that corrects me everytime! I don't need you too!" Kasai said blushing.
"Good grief." Kasai said impassively,then she noticed a familiar girl. She was a 19 years old girl with long blonde hair collected in a long ponyhead and green eyes. The girl noticed Kasai too and recognised her. "Kasai? Is that you?"
"Aria?" said the other girl. This girl was Aria Artorias. She came from a noble french family that kept going on since the 18th century. They were famous for sponsoring many sports such as golf. Aria was the daughter of the householder of the Artorias family Duke. Aria then hugged Kasai. She was clearly happy to see her. "Oh Kasai! I'm happy to see you again!".
"Yeah i'm happy too,but cut it off" Kasai said,trying to stop the hug,and Aria did.
"Wait,do you know her?" Kyoko said disoriented.
"Yes,remember when i said that I did the waitress some time ago? I did it for her family." Kasai answered.
"It's true! She did a great job at taking care of the house! Also we became very good friends" Aria added. And then she turned on Kyoko. "Anyways,i'm Aria Artorias! Is a pleasure to meet you!" She added giving her hand
Kyoko shaked the hand back "I'm Kyoko Ishida! The pleasure is all mine,and this is my partner DORUgamon!"
"Hello!" DORUgamon saluted Aria.
"So where are you going?" She then asked.
"We are going to our agency! Kasai is going to get a new job!" Kyoko said happily.
"Really? That's good!" Said Aria,and then she thinked "agency…" But in that moment a guy with a punk style and very rough. "Come on Aria! We have to go!"
"Ehm yes! I'm coming! Sorry but i gotta move. Bye!" Aria said. Kasai and Kyoko looked at Aria while she was going away with that boy.
"Who the hell is that guy?" Veedramon said.
"Why such a cute and nice girl should go with a person with that style?" DORUgamon added.
"DORUgamon,you are starting to act like a member of the Diva's club." Veedramon noted.
"Hey! I'm just trying to have a sense of style!" DORUgamon said trying to defend himself.
"Hey! Can you stop? We're trying to have a nice moment here! If she stays with him is none of our business! Let's head back to the agency!" Kyoko said,stopping the two Digimon.
"Uff…Okay" Veedramon and DORUgamon said together. And so they restarted their walking.
Kasai sighed while she was walking "Good grief."
Meanwhile in the agency an old TV was showing the movie "Wedding Crashers". The TV was being watched by two guys. One of them was a boy with very spiky hair and wearing all black, with studs on the gloves and on the boots. Also, it was wearing a bandana with the USA flag on it. This guy was Tsunayoshi Motomiya,but he wanted to be called simply "Tsuna". He was the oldest son of Daisuke Motomiya and Hikari Yagami, then also Kasai's cousin. Incredible but true,it was more stubborn than his father,but very irritable and violent if he was angry. The other guy was a thin guy,with blue hair. It wasn't their true color,he actually had orange hair,but he dyed them. He was wearing dark blue pants and a sleevless shirt. Over his left shoulder there were gauntlets with a paludron and brown boots. He was Kumo Ishida,Yamato Ishida and Sora Takenouchi's littlest son and Kyoko's younger brother. Despite he took his aspect from the mother,his behaviour was more similar to that of his father. He used to be a silent and curious guy,but he was also a good friend and a very smart type,knowing always what to do in every situation.
Tsuna and Kumo were watching the movie,untill Tsuna shocked at the ending. "WHAT!? They end up toghether!? After knowing what he was doing!?"
"Well,you should know: No matter what you are doing,love always prevail." Kumo said,answering his friend.
"Come on! This is supposed to be a semi-adult movie! Not a Disney one! Why they always end up with a romantic ending!?" Tsuna asked,still mad.
"Well guess,genius: It's a romantic commedy. It supposed to end in that way. Sometimes i wonder how did you graduate"Kumo answered again. In that moment Tsuna got up from the sofa and grabbed Kumo from the neck. "What did you just said,bastard!? Don't try to make fun of me,or i'll kill you!"
"Really? Are you thinking of this? Just for a little insult? Would you try to think even for just one time?" Kumo said looking at Tsuna,without showing an inch of fear.
Tsuna thought for a second and left him. "Yeah,you're right." There were two Digimon watching the scene. One was Tsuna's partner: A tall dragon blue Adult-Level Digimon called Coedramon blue. The other one was Kumo's partner: A small red dragon with yellow bands and a knight scarf on his neck. Despite his little size he was an Adult-Level Digimon,his name was Shoutmon,but he was a second form of Shoutmon. His Child-Level was also a Shoutmon,but smaller.
"Why it always ends like this?" Coedramon asked,while sighing.
"Relax,my friend. It's called interaction. This i show humans and Digimon show their bonding." Shoutmon asnwererd.
"Hmm…i suppose you are right." Coedramon said. "Hey Tsuna! What do you think the boss is doing?"
"Hell if i know! She said that she was on a case." Tsuna answered.
"Hmm…could it be that this case wash arder than expected?" Shoutmon thought.
"I don't think so. My sister is our boss,she's very smart and she can accomplish a case like that in a short time. I think she's hanging around doing random stuff,like she always does!" Kumo said,answering the question. And in fact,it was true…then another person entered. He was a 20 years old boy that had a military hair cut and mimetic clothes. His name was Chikara Kido,the son of Jou Kido and so the oldest of the group. Since he did two years in a military school in Germany,he used to act like a lieutenant and maintain order,But he was a reliable guy. Near him was an animal like Adult-Level Digimon called Leomon,but he wasn't the same Leomon that helped the Chosen Children during their adventures,but another one.
"What is happening here!? Have some dignity and act like adults!" Chikara yelled at them.
"Yeah,i have eardrums too,thanks" Tsuna said ironically. Yes,Chikara had the bad habit of always screaming.
"Tsunayoshi! If you're a real man you have to resist at everything! You weak!" Chikara yelled again.
"When will you learn that this is a detective agency and not a military academy? And call me Tsuna!" Tsuna answered.
"Okay okay guys! Calm down,we are going crazy! We have to maintain our temper!" said Leomon,trying to calm down everyone.
"Nah,you know that it always ends like this,Leomon" Shoutmon said.
Leomon sighed" Well,at least would you calm down Chikara?" Leomon asked at his partner
"Okay,okay." Chikara said,after he calmed down.
"I wonder what the others are doing" Kumo asked.
Meanwhile in another room 3 other guys and their Digimon were standing on two sofas talking about recent events and other stuff. One girl had red hair and her clothing style looked like an idol,although she wasn't one and she didn't wanted to become it. Her name was Rikka Izumi,age 18 and the daughter of Koushiro Izumi and Meiko Mochizuki. Unexpectedly,it turned out that Koushiro had a crush on Meiko. So after many months he once finally asked her to hang out. After that,Meiko started to like Koushiro and they ended up with having Rikka as daughter. Rikka inherited the curiosity,the exploration,and the passion for the computers from the father and the kind behaviour of the mother. She was the type of friend that everyone wanted. Near her, her Digimon partner lied down. A Linx with a strange fur on his back that hid his eyes,similar to Gabumon's fur,and a blade as a tail. This Adult-Level Digimon was called Leppamon.
The second guy had dark blonde hair with a simple white T-shirt and blue jeans,because he wasn't worried about having style. His name was Kouta Takashi, Takeru Takashi's son. He was a vigilant guy,looking always his friends's back,to make sure they would be okay. He sorta acted like a boss,although he wasn't the boss. Always near him was his Digimon partner, a full scaled Adult-Level dragon with always a blade as a tail. This Digimon was BaoHackmon. This Digimon is the evolved form of Hakcmon,but he wasn't the messenger of Homeostasis,but another Digimon of the same species.
The third boy sitting near Kouta had purple hair,wearing a purple jacket and purple pants. He was all purple,this is why his friends used to call him "Purple Haze" Like Jimi Hendrix's song. This boy was Toriko Ichijouji,Son of Ken Ichijouji and Miyako Inuoe. He was the classic guy that made attempts of humor and he was recognized as a good friend,but being very annoying. Behind him was his Digimon partner: An Adult-Level Digimon with the shape of a star. He was called Starmon,of course.
"Say,Kouta,could you tell me how you manage to eat all of those desserts without never getting fatter?" Rikka asked to her friend,who was eating a piece of cake.
"It's very simple. I burn calories with the brain,not with the body." Kouta simply answered.
"Don't you think you're eating too much cake,Kouta? This is already the first piece you eat. I don't want you to get sick." BaoHackmon said to his partner.
"Hmm…i guess you're right" Kouta said,and so he left the plate to the table.
"That,and also for the fact that we don't want you to stay in the bathroom for like three hours! Remeber last Tuesday? You stayed for like three hours after you eated all of those cream puffs!" Toriko added.
"Okay! We don't have to go further! I'll stop." Kouta said. Meanwhile Starmon looked at the scene quietley.
"You don't say anything Starmon?" Leppamon asked,and Starmon simply nodded. Starmon was a quiet Digimon. He talked only when it was neccessary.
"I see." Leppamon closed.
Meanwhile in another office three guys were printing documents for the cases. One of them had long brown hair, and he was wearing brand clothes, like very refined blue pants and a blue jacket with golden buttons. This guy was Sasuke Motomiya,age 18 and the second son of Daisuke Motomiya and Hikari Yagami and so Tsunayoshi's younger brother. He was a very egocentric guy and very careful when it comes to talk about beauty. But he was always ready to put his friends on the top. His partner Digimon was an armoured Adult-Level Digimon with two spears on his arms called Gladimon.
The other girl had long black hair,wearing a french hat,a long coat with the dollar sign and black pants. She was Rina Ichijouji,Ken Ichijouji and Miyako Inoue's Oldest daughter and Toriko's older sister. She wasn't a smart girl,so she often ended up with making some messes. But these messes made people laugh so she didn't care. Her Digimon partner was a Kabuterimon,just like Koushiro's one.
The third one was a girl with brown long hair collected in two ponytails,wearing a white T-shirt,pink pants and white gloves. She was called Yatsura Hida,Iori Hida's daughter. She was always afraid of the consequences of her actions or to be more precise…of everything and sometimes she was misunderstood,but she also had some epic moments in her career. Her Digimon Partner was an EX-Veemon,like Daisuke's one.
"Ha! I printed 45 documents now! How many of them have you done,Sasuke?" Asked. Rina. Sasuke and Rina were best friends since they were kids and they were always on competition. This time was about printing as many documents as possible.
"I've come to 50! Don't think you'll surpass me! Answered Sasuke with determination.
"We'll see about that,knucklehead!" Shouted Rina. Yatsura was watching her two friends printing with so much competence. "Shouldn't you guys calm down? You're just printing documents! Not playing some videogames…" But Yatsura was immediately stopped by the two. "URUSEI YATSURA!"
"Aaaaaah! Why do you keep shut me up by referring that anime!?" Yatsua shouted.
"Aaaah,is good to see them talking,right?" Gladimon asked to the other Digimon
"Well,kind of. I'm pretty sure that Sasuke and Rina will end up at fighting." Kabuterimon aswered.
"I won't interfere. If they don't do something to my master,i'm out of this." EX-Veemon said.
"Seriously EX-Veemon,when you will stop acting like this? You're like a robot when you say this!" Yatsura said to her partner Digimon.
"Sorry master" EX-Veemon simply closed. Suddendly all of the megaphones in the building started to reproduce Kyoko's voice,who had to say an important message.
"Attention to all of the detectives. Meet me at the entrance. Is very important." Kyoko said.
"An important message?" Chikara asked.
"What is my sister going to say? Kumo asked too.
And so,they all directed to the entrance.
"So…where is Kyoko?" Asked Tsuna.
"Be patient,Tsuna." Kouta said.
"I wonder what could possibly be if she called all of us." Leppamon said.
"Hm,we shall see" Kumo closed. In that moment Kyoko entered the room. "Very nice! Everyone is here!"
"Where did you go,Kyoko!? You've stayed out for too long! This could bring you bad reputation as a leader!" Chikara yelled.
"Oh come on Chikara! It's morning! Could you please not scream?" Kyoko answered.
"Yes,Chikara,please calm down" Said Leomon embarassed.
"So what happened? Did you failed the case? Our agency is closed? BUSH CAME BACK AS THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT!?" Yatsura answered,being worried.
"No! For God's sake! Nothing bad happened!" Kyoko answered "Man,we sure are a bunch of crazy people."
"Sorry,i was just worried that-" Yatsura was about to start to talk again but everyone shouted. "URUSEI YATSURA!"
"Why!?" Yatsura cried out.
"Anyways,i called you all beacuse you could welcome our new member!" Kyoko said happily.
"Really!? A new member!?" Toriko shouted happily.
"That's good news! It's always a good thing when everyone comes in this agency!" Shoutmon said.
"I'm happy to see you happy about this! And also is a person you know very well…"
Eveyone was more curious now. Then DORUgamon gave the permission. "Okay! You can enter now!"
And so they did. Kasai and Veedramon entered in the room. She was surpriesed to see so many familiar faces,but she still had her edgy behaviour. "Good grief. Look who we have here."
The others looked at her in silence and then screamed with joy "KASAI!" Everyone came to greet her. They were so happy,because now they were all toghether again.
"Kasai! I'm so happy to see you again!" Sasuke said.
"Hey,long time no see,cousin" Kasai answered.
"Sure is a pleasure to have you as a comrade" Kumo greeted her.
"Yeah. Hey,it seems i'm not the only one who dyed hair here." Kasai answered,seeing Kumo's blue dyed hair.
"Kasai! Why didn't you tell me you were going to work here!? Did you forget your other cousin?" Tsuna told to her.
"I only joined now. How could i say it to you,Tsunayoshi?" Kasai said and then…"JUST CALL ME TSUNA!"
"You too here!? There are too young people now! I think someone should stop this!" Chikara said.
"You're only 20." Kasai said. Chikara then silenced.
"Kasai!? Of all people,I wouldn't expect you to come here!" Rina said.
"Still here i am Rina." Kasai answered.
"That's incredible. Now we're all together again." Rikka added.
"Yeah. It's been a long time since we were united" Kouta fairly thought.
"You're right! The last time was when we were kids and did our first trip in the Digital World!" Sasuke remembered.
The Digimon also greeted Veedramon.
"And how are you Veedramon?" Kabuterimon asked.
"Still as strong as ever." Veedramon answered.
"You never lose your attitude,knucklehead" Coedramon said smiling.
In the crowd Kasai noticed another girl. She was wearing a gothic style. She had brown hair and yellow eyes. The girl too noticed Kasai and recognized her. "Kasai?"
"Aisu?" Kasai asked too. The two girls looked for each other for some minutes. And then Aisu hugged Kasai as much as she could.
"Oh,Kasai! I'm so happy to see you!" Aisu said happily. Kasai hugged her too. After a short time,they were together again. "Yeah. I'm happy to see you too,sister."
Veedramon in that moment shaked his hand with Aisu's partner. A tall blue Adult-Level Digimon with an helmet on his head called Strikedramon. "It seems we're still together,Strikedramon"
"Of course. I'll enjoy this travelling with you." Strikedramon answered. Despite how he looked,Strikedramon was a calm and rational type. But he was known to be a true asset in battle,being very powerful and smart.
Everyone greeted Kasai very well. She didn't showed emotions like always,but at least she could say that she was happy.
Then Kyoko speaked again "As you can see,Kasai wil work with us now. Please treat her well. Also because you all know what happens if you make her piss off".
"Of course!" Everyone said.
"Okay Kasai and Veedramon,we'll give you your location in the agency." DORUgamon said.
After everything was settled for Kasai and Veedramon,the young girl and her sister decided to have a talk.
"Man. Sure lots of things can happen in so little time,isn'it?" Aisu asked.
"Yeah. Good Grief." Kasai answered. After some seconds of silent she added "So…I've heard that you left home too." She remembered what her parents said some hours ago.
"Yes. It's true." Aisu confirmed. "It happened two days after you left. Just as you,i too spared my money that I gained doing a Part-time job while school. You know,I thought that I should be independent as soon as possible to help the country. So,when it was possible I moved out. Well,you did it too,right?"
"Well yes. But,still I think that maybe I made a mistake…i thought that I should live alone so my actions would have been mine alone and no one would have been involved. But…I soon noticed that it wasn't that easy. My house is still a mess and I can't sleep in the night because of the dream." Kasai explained. She then sighed and thought of it. Aisu,too,thought but then she smiled and answered optimistic.
"Well,you're right. Someone would consider us stupid for leaving at only 18 years old. But you know,when you made a decision,you have to be ready to face the consequences. Mom and dad also made some mistakes,but they found the strength to face the challenges. It seems like it's a genetic factor. But I know you since ever. You are a tough girl and you've never surrendered. I know you'll do a great job." Aisu said,trying to be emphatic with her sister.
Kasai returned the smile. Unlike the others,this was e geniuine smile. Aisu was one of the few people with Kasai showed her true feelings. But even with this,Kasai remained an edgy girl with everyone. "Thanks Aisu. You know,I always thought that we are the only couple of sisters that never argued."
"I think you're right. We always understood each other." Aisu confirmed. And the fact was truth. Since they were even babies,Kasai and Aisu had a very strong bond. The other couples of sisters were jelaous of them and they always asked why the two of them never had a fight. They always answered that it was because they knew what the other liked and disliked,and they respected each other and their own tastes. After that,Aisu thought of another thing. "Say Kasai…do you think that mom and dad will be okay without us?"
Just like Aisu before,Kasai answered in an optimistic way "Yes,I think that mom and the old man will be fine alone. They faced evil Digimon when they were kids and teenagers. And even if we aren't there with them,they still have Agumon and Palmon."
"Yeah,I think you're right…hey! Do you still call him old man?" Aisu noticed.
"So what?" Kasai simply asked. Aisu didn't knew what to say. She thought that it was useless to say something to her. She was a very tempered girl.
"By the way, I visited mom and dad before meeting Kyoko. They said that they really didn't matter if we left home so soon. Mom said that we decide what to do with our life." Kasai added,remembering what her mother said.
"Really? Well,that means that we made them happy!" Aisu said,smiling. She was always happy to make her parents happy too. "Oh and by the way,I see that you still wear mom's hat. You're really cute!"
"…well…thanks" Kasai replied blushing a little. Even if she still had that edgy face.
"And what kind of dream you have?" Aisu asked.
"Well… it always starts with me on a sort of glass window. Then a voice asks something about me: My fears,my ambitions and other stuf. Kyoko told me she has the same dream." Kasai answered,explaining what she saw every night.
"I see…well,not only you and Kyoko have this dream,but every person that works here." Aisu said to Kasai,hearing what her sister just said.
"Really?" Kasai asked with surprise.
"Yes,everyone here has this dream all the nights. I,too,have it. We call it the Heart Dive. But we can't give an explanation yet…" Aisu answered.
"Hmm…so what Kyoko said was true. There might be some connection between us." Kasai concluded. The situation was getting more bizarre to her. What was that dream? Who was the voice that talked to them? And most importantly…why the others had the same dream?
After that,Kyoko entered in the room looking at the two sisters. "Oh,Kasai! I was just looking for you. Could you please call Veedramon and come to my office?"
Before that,Kasai looked at her sister. "Don't worry,we had a beautiful chat. You can go now."
"Ok,then. Later,Aisu." She saluted her sister and then she followed Kyoko.
"Bye!" Her sister said with a smile. She was clearly happy to see her sister working with her,knowing that now they would often be together.
Kyoko leaded Kasai and Veedramon to her office. She then sat on her chair. In the room there was also Rikka with her partner Digimon Leppamon.
"Hi,Kasai! Hey Veedramon!" Rikka saluted the two friends. "You're just in time. It doesn't happen often here." Leppamon added.
"Really? So I suppose they aren't so clever" Veedramon replied hearing that.
"Let's just say…they are unique people." Leppamon said.
"So,what's the deal?" Kasai asked to Kyoko.
"It's simple! You two tomorrow are on a case! You did an excellent job with the Diva club,but now we have to check you in work field. So,tomorrow you'll go with Rikka in the Digital World to solve your very first case! So we'll see what kind of detective you are!" Kyoko answered,explaining the situation.
"Wait Kyoko,didn't you already tested her abilities before?" DORUgamon asked,thinking of Kyoko's thought.
Kyoko was speechless. But she was too proud to admit it. So she counterattacked "W-well,but she wasn't a member of the agency yet! So…now she has the chance to prove her true skills! And next you are going to say It doesn't really makes sense!"
"It doesn't' really makes sense Kyoko…What?" Rikka said surprised.
"Good Grief. So what am i going to do in the meantime?" Kasai asked,ignoring what just happened.
"Well,you could always know more about the place or fix your room!" Kyoko answered.
"Hmmm…yeah,okay." Kasai simply answered.
Later,at night, Kasai,like the others,came back to home. She was looking at the window.
"Good grief. What a day it was. So,I'm now a detective…It's funny cause it all happened by chance. But hey…at least I've met some old friends and found my sister. We'll now see what will happen."
"Are you talking alone right now?" Asked Veedramon from the computer.
"Yeah,is a tic of mine" She answered. She then layed on her bed. "Good night Veedramon"
"Good night!" He replied. She then turned off the bajour and went to sleep. Many things passed through her head now.
The next day at 9.00 AM,after having prepared Kasai used her Digivice to enter the Digital World with Veedramon,Rikka and Lepamon from the computer of the agency. Unlike their parents Kasai and the others didn't had the regular Digivice or the D-3 one,but instead they had a new type. It was called the Virtual Pet,also known as V-Pet. It had the capacity of putting the Digimon inside of it. It was also capable to analyze any type of Digimon and see his stats. Although it was recently discovered,this was the oldest type of Digivice ever. They had been found in a desert of the Digital World,and only a few of these had been found. Kasai and her friends,were some of the few peoples who had it.
The Digital World changed deeply during time. After the union between Humans and Digimon,the first ones helped this net world to evolve even further. Thanks to technology's evolution,it became even bigger. New continents appeared,and new Digimon were discovered like the new Chosen's Children Digimon partners. Also,Digimon started to know Humans's culture and backstory,so they became more educated and organized with cities,policy and more. It was like a second Earth but with strange creatures.
Kasai,Rikka,Veedramon and Leppamon started to walk towards the station of the Traverse Town. This town was situated in the Prince's server. The Digital World was tecnichally a counterpart of the real world and the zones were called servers,except the fact that the places of the Digital World had different forms from the real world ones . The Prince's server was the counterpart of the United States . The humans gave the names to the servers. To make them more fun and to make sure to remember them,they named the servers as famous singers or bands of the counterpart nation in the real world. The cities and other places in the servers had already original names instead. Despite being the counterpart of San Francisco,the Traverse Town was a smaller town. It was often a place where people and Digimon went to have a break during long travels. It was a simple city wit a few houses and the right stores. It was actually the ideal place for the ones who wanted a quiet life.
"So,what is the case?" Kasai asked to Rikka.
"We are searching for this guy" Rikka answered,showing to her friend a picture of a boy with grey hair and red eyes,wearing a black hood. "His name is Sykes Connor. He's wanted for violence and and torture. He was seen depriving the energy to other Digimon. Our duty is to catch him and deliver him to the police."
"Hmm. So it's a serious problem. Did you know how does he take energy?" Kasai asked,seeing the situation.
"We don't know. But we suspect that he uses some special way like the help of a Digimon. We don't know why is he doing this too. After searching through his activities we discovered that he would go to the station at this time. What we are going to do is enter to the train that passes at this hour and trying to take him. Remember to make sure that the passenger won't take any damage,ask them for information and use the gun only if necessary." Rikka answered and then explained.
"Okay,I'll be careful." Kasai nodded
"What are we going to do?" Veedramon asked to Leppamon.
"We'll have to fight if the enemy uses a Digimon or try to immobilze him." Leppamon answered.
"Oh,I see. Well well,it seems quite interesting. I like doing this kind of things." Veedramon noticed,liking the idea.
"I knew you would answer this way." Leppamon added with a smile "You are the type of Digimon who would rather fight than think"
"Hey! Are you saying that I'm stupid!?" Veedramon asked with a little bit of anger.
"Stop arguing." Kasai simply said. "Meh…okay." Veedramon answered.
"It's wise to stop a fight when you immediately notice anger from one of the two litigants. Good point Kasai!" Rikka said,appreciating what Kasai did.
"Yes…sorry Veedramon" Leppamon apologized.
When the train came,they entered in. To go unnoticed, the detectives were free to go with normal dresses. The four sitted in the train like normal passengers. After a while they started to watch inside the wagon to see if there was some suspect type. Everyone seemed normal. In a moment Veedramon stood up.
"Where are you going?" Kasai asked. Veedramon was looking all serious and then…."I have to go on the toilet." He said.
Kasai facepalmed "Oh good grief." When Veedramon was going to the bathroom he clashed with a tall and slim blue dragon Digimon called Arresterdramon.
"What are you doing asshole!? Watch where you're going!" Arresterdramon shouted in an angry way.
"Whoa! Calm down! Nothing serious happened!" Veedramon answered trying to calm him down,but nothing happened.
"Are you trying to be a smart one? Yeah! You're smart! A smartass! Now I'm going to send you straight to-" But he didn't made it to finish the line that he thrown a yell of pain and felt on the ground senseless. Everyone in the wagon was shocked or surprised of the situation.
"What just happened?" Kasai said in that confusion. In that moment Rikka noticed something "Guys! Look!" She was ponting at a guy with a hood. He was the guy they were searching.
"That's Sykes Connor!" Kasai shouted. When the guy heard her,he started to ran away. "Hey! Where are you going!?"
Sykes was running very fast,also because he also jumped on the corners in order to move faster.
Veedramon was preparing to shoot his attack "Damm you! V-Breath-" But he was interrupted by Leppamon. "Stop Veedramon! if you use your V-Breath Arrow you will blow up the wagon! Let me handle this. Shinkū Kamaitachi!" Leppamon then threw a blade from her tail,trying to stop the criminal,but he managed to avoid the attack and escape to the next wagon. "Dammit…" Leppamon said.
"Great job! You missed! If you made me use my attack,we would have won!" Veedramon complained about the other Digimon's actions.
"Are you serious? So you would've preferred to make everyone in danger! Do you ever use your head!?" Leppamon answered at Veedramon's insult.
"SHUT UP! YOU ARE ACTING LIKE TWO CHILDREN! SO KNOCK IT OFF!" Kasai screamed at a certain point
That scream left everyone in silence. Just like the other time. "Wow…even after many years,she still scare me…But Kasai got a point though. If we fight with each other we can't focus on our job and even our bond would be affected." Rikka answered. She was always the wise one,giving good advices at the others.
Veedramon and Leppamon looked at each other. They blushed because they were embarrassed of asking apologises (Don't worry,they didn't have a crush on each other),and so they did.
"Well…sorry if I didn't think." Veedramon started…
"Yeah…and sorry if I insulted you…I didn't knew you were a sensitive type." …and Leppamon conluded. At this point Veedramon blushed even more "H-hey! I'm not sensitive,Goat-cat!" And Leppamon answered confused "G-goat cat?"
"Okay,enough with the apologises…" Rikka said,realizing what she started.
"Okay!" The two Digimon nodded and followed their partners. Kasai watched the entire scene without saying a thing,except when she shouted. She concluded with a classic and simple "Good grief."
After advising the passengers of the situation the group went to the next wagon. Although the mess that happened before,everyone seemed quiet.
"Hmm…something's wrong. Didn't they listen all of the noises before?" Rikka rightly asked.
"Maybe they're sleeping…Let's check" Kasai said. So the two detectives and their Digimon looked at all of the passengers of the Wagon. They were doing normal things like eating,reading or listening to music. The four then looked at each other.
"Any ideas?" Veedramon asked.
"No,I Don't know where to start…" Leppamon said. Until a Digimon came to see them. It was a robotic Adult-Level Digimon. It had a big size and doesn't had a mouth. This Digimon was called Guardromon. "Good morning,I'm the machinist of this train. My name is Guardromon. May I help you?"
"I'm Rikka Izumi. And this is Kasai Yagami. We're from the Chesire Cat Agency. We're here for a case. A wanted is hiding in this train." Rikka explained to the machinist.
"Oh! A wanted?" The machine Digimon asked.
"Yes. By the way,didn't you heard all the noises we caused before?" Kasai asked then. It was strange that the responsible for the train didn't noticed anything before and just now did something. After looking at them for some seconds Guardromon shaked his head. "No. I haven't heard anything. But I'll tell you if I see something" And then he turned back.
Kasai was thinking. Veedramon noticed already her partner mumbling. "Something wrong?"
"Hmm…It's very strange that the machinist of the train is taking so easily a situation that can make all the passengers in danger…and the way he was moving…seemed so static…" Kasai said,after summing up what she saw until now.
"Well,he's a robot. He had to move that way." Leppamon said,letting her know the fact. It was then that Kasai turned on a light bulb. "Robots?"
"What are you thinking?" Rikka asked.
"Veedramon,shoot a little V-Breath Arrow on the ground" Kasai said,asking her partner.
"What!? Didn't you listened Leppamon before!? I could cause damage to the train!" Veedramon countered. He was a guy with only fights in his head,but he was capable of remembering what others said to him.
"Don't worry. You'll have to use a little part of your power. So you shouldn't make such a big mess. I just want to be sure of something" Kasai said,convinced of her plan.
"Ehm…okay…if you think so…V-Breath Arrow." Veedramon shooted a little arrow of the ground, turning on a little flame. Kasai then turned around to see the passengers and just like she thought they didn't saw anything and they were doing the same things they were doing before. Just like robots.
"I knew it. They didn't move their head. They look like statues or robots." Kasai said,confirming what she thought. At that moment they heard a voice. It was like someone was feeling the fire. The voice came from above. Kasai and the others looked at the ceiling and they noticed what it looked like a black X when the ceiling was all white.
"Hey! What's that?" Leppamon said looking at the thing. Then the thing detached himself from the ceiling,revealing to be a Digimon. It had six tentacles and looked like a chrysalis. In fact his name was Chrysalimon.
"It's a Chrysalimon! Now I get it. It was this Digimon that acts like a parasite that corrupted everyone." Rikka said,arrived at a conclusion after seeing the Digimon's stats on her digivice.
"Really?" Asked Veedramon calmly.
"Yes. This Digimon is a virus type. He can penetrate into digital systems and manipulate them like he wants or destroy them." Rikka answered.
"But with only his strength he couldn't control all of the passengers of the wagon…so he stucked himself into the ceiling to be as near as possible to the electricity that is situated to the machinist's room,so he could gain bigger energy to control the passengers." Kasai added.
"So you figured out…" A voice said behind them. The four turned back to see who was. He was Sykes.
"There you are,Sykes Connor" Rikka said. "Well,you were a little bit predictable if you made all of the Digimon look like statues. Now then,are you ready to face the consequences of your actions?" Kasai told him.
"I don't care what the consequences will be. I'm doing this for my dear friend Saiba Rei," Sykes answered.
"Saiba Rei,who is he?" Veedramon asked. But Sykes didn't answered and his Digimon partner shoot at the ceiling, opening a hole. "we shall settle this up there" Sykes said and then he climbed up to the top of the train.
"Let's follow them" Kasai said. The others nodded. Rikka climbed on Leppamon's back who jumped on the top. While Veedramon grabbed Kasai and let her climb. After,he did a great jump and arrived at the top.
"Now then,what are you going to do?" Veedramon asked.
"For the sake of our project I can't let anyone know. It's already dangerous that you arrived to me. I think it's time I get rid of you. After saying those words his Digimon attacked shooting dark projectiles from his tentacles. "Misconnecting!" Veedramon and Leppamon easily dodged the attack. And then Veedramon came closer to him "If this is all you've got then I think who has luck on his side! Magnum punch!" He started to punch very fastly Chrysalimon many times "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" But Sykes wasn't worried. He rather smiled. "You've falled into my net"
"What!?" Both Kasai and Veedramon exclaimed. In that moment Chrysalimon managed to fly on Veedramon's back and control him. "Shit…that was a clever move" Kasai said,starting to worry.
"Gah! Curse you!" Veedramon shouted. He was unable to move on his own. He then looked at Kasai and in a moment punched Kasai in her bell. She felt the hit very much and splitted blood from her mouth and falled on her knees.
"Kasai!" Rikka shouted worried.
"I'm sorry Kasai! It's like I'm a living puppet!" Veedramon said, feeling really sorry.
"Don't worry Veedramon,it's not your fault." Kasai said with a smile. Although she was having trouble she knew what to do. "Rikka,Leppamon,it's your turn. Find a way to Turn Veedramon back to normal and defeat the enemy."
Rikka and Leppamon looked at each other and nodded. "Okay Leppamon,Show them your best!" Rikka said,getting ready
"Ayeaye Rikka!" Leppamon answered,following her orders.
"Very well then, let's see how will you fight against your friend." Sykes said while Veedramon,manipulated by Leppamon,moved in front of Leppamon.
The clash began. Veedramon started to punch Leppamon faster and faster. Fortuately Leppamon was a very agile Digimon,so he could know how to avoid the attacks. After blocking some of his punches he tried to attack. "Jūga Rangeki!" Leppamon attacked with his claws but Veedramon shouted in pain.
"Damm it…at this point,I'm going to hurt only Veedramon…what!?" He couldn't finish his thinking that Veedramon started to punch him more faster. "Kurukuru Rekkūzan!" Leppamon roteated his blades in order to defend himself.
"Now you know when to not sneak in business that does not concern you." Sykes said without emotions.
"S-Shut up! It's our business defending the order in the two worlds! What you're doing is against the law!" Leppamon counterattacked Sykes's words. Leppamon then he couldn't resist anymore and got punched many times by the manipulated Veedramon. He did a groan of pain and flew to the ground.
"Against the law? It isn't about law. It's about life. My dear friend Saiba will change everything about our life!" Sykes said proudly.
"This guy is completely mad…but at this rate is practically untouchable…" Rikka though. But in that moment she had the hawk's eye that every good detective should have. She noticed that at Veedramon's hips there were the extensions of Chrysalimon's tentacles. "Wait…How could I not noticed them? If Leppamon hits those tentacles maybe Chrysalimon will get out from Veedramon's body…" She then talked at her partner "Leppamon! Throw your blades at Veedramon's hips!"
"What? You sure?" Leppamon asked.
"Wait…is she…!?" Sykes thought worried.
"Ok then! Shinkū Kamaitachi!" Leppamon threw various Blades at Veedramon's blades,but at the same time Chrysalimon made Veedramon shoot a V-Breath Arrow against him. Leppamon got blasted by the attack and felt on the ground "anf….anf…did I made it?" Leppamon asked. Luckily he saw Chrysalimon flying away from Veedramon's body.
"Great!" Rikka exclaimed. Kasai was happy to see that Rikka's plan worked.
"Dammit! But don't think is over!" Sykes said. Chrysalimon then used his second attack. "Data Crusher!" He managed to attack Leppamon with his tentacles. But despite being hit,Leppamon still had the speed and the defense to cut the tentacles with the blade on his tail.
"Oh no!" Sykes shouted.
"You were pretty smart. But you made two errors: One. You left too many weak points. And second. You made me hurt my friend. Now you shall see the consequences of your actions! Kurukuru Rekkūzan!" Leppamon started to attack Chrysalimon with his blades. And so Rikka and Leppamon did their fight scream. "KYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAAAA!"Chrysalimon ended up being sliced in thousand of pieces that bursted into data.
"They did it!" Veedramon said happily.
"Well,guess she's a tough girl too." Kasai said with a grin.
Sykes gulped and slowly walked backwards.
"Now you have nowhere to run. Sykes Connor,you're under arrest" Rikka said.
Sykes grunted and looked back. "Guess I don't have a choice. Ok then,I give up." Sykes got on his knees and put his arms over his shoulders.
Kasai then put the handcuffs on him. With Chrysalimon's death the passengers of the train came back to normal and saw what happened. After some messes,Kasai and Rikka managed to explain the situation and calmed down everyone.
Back to the agency Kasai and Rikka explained what happened to Kyoko.
"So you're telling me that he was working for someone else?" Kyoko asked.
"Yes,that is practically the summary of the events." Kasai answered.
"Sykes Connor is now being interrogated in jail. The police said that they'll let us know if he says something about this so called project." Rikka then explained.
"I see…" Kyoko simply said. She then thought of possible conclusions. "You said a project…so maybe there is a crew of criminals behind this."
"Criminals,you say? Like terrorists? Mafia? Or even political movements?" Veedramon asked.
"We don't know. But surely we'll get back on this case." DORUgamon answered.
"With this said,good work Kasai and Rikka! You showed again what you are made of,and Kasai,now you know how we work here!" Kyoko said then happily.
"So,guess I'm an official member now. It's a crazy world,but I think I'll get used to it." Kasai said with a grin.
"Hey! What do you mean by crazy?" Leppamon said laughing.
"Ok. You're dismissed now. You can do whathever you want now." Kyoko said.
"See you later." Kasai,Rikka,Veedramon,Leppamon said together. And then they got out of Kyoko's office. While they were walking on the corridors Rikka started to talk with her friend."So,did you enjoyed this case?"
"Yes. It was quite interesting." Kasai said.
Rikka smiled "Well,I'm happy for it. You know,it's really strange that we're all together now…Would you think of it as a fate's choice?"
"Who knows. It's surely is a coincidence that everyone here has the same dream I have every night. But maybe it's only a matter of chance." Kasai answered.
"Ah yes,the dream. Neither I could give an explanation to that. But what matters for me now is that you are here too. I think you will find this place to your liking." Rikka said.
"Solving cases and risking my life everyday to stop some psychoes? I like the idea. After all,it's in our blood." Kasai said,referring to their parents.
"Yeah! I think you're right. In fact,our fathers stayed many times together." Rikka added. In the past,Taichi Yagami,Kasai's father,and Koushiro Izumi,Rikka's father, Were very close friends. In fact,Taichi was the muscle and Koushiro was the brain.
"Maybe this is because why we can get along so well." Kasai answered.
"Well,I don't think is because only of this. I think you have something special. Even if you are a bad example of a person,you manage to be appreciated by every person." Rikka added
"You really think so? Good grief…thanks,although these speeches of friendship make me puke" Kasai added. This clearly showed that Kasai wasn't a classic Chosen Child.
Then Rikka bursted into a great laugh "Ahahaha! You never change,Kasai. That's why you are funny." Kasai simply looked at her silent.
"So…if now you are an official member,I think that we have to celebrate!" Tsuna said behind them.
Kasai and Rikka turned back to see him.
"Good morning Tsuna,you could say hi before at least." Rikka said to him
"But…hey! I wanted to give a surprise effect!" Tsuna retorted.
"No. You didn't" Kasai said.
"See? I told you it wouldn't worked. You always try to scare other people but you fail all the ti-" Yatsura tried to say,making the sermon to Tsuna but…
"URUSEI YATSURA!" The other three said.
"Oh come on guys! Why do you always have to shut me up with that stupid joke" Yatsura cried out.
Rikka and Tsuna started to laugh. Kasai simply did a grin.
"Well,shall we go?" Tsuna asked.
"Good grief" Kasai said as always,following them.
Back to Kyoko's office,the girl thought of what happened that day.
"It's good to see that my best friend integrated very easily with the others. But…I feel like something's wrong. Saiba Rei…Could it be? The director of the Rei corporation? I need to go at the bottom of the situation…"
