Old Ones Return (IV)

Renamon: "He's upset he wasn't invited to go with Euryale the other day."

===================================

Taiyo: "That sounds really great."

===================================

Azuma: "And we had just discussed going to the Digital World."

"I don't think it's wise to go there, I just planned to look, like through a spyglass."
==========================
<Is that really it? I wonder....>
==========================
"That's good. I didn't have too much to tell them, for what you liked to eat."

Renamon stares at Mr. Rakshashi unsure of where he's going with this.

===================================

Taiyo: "Most things are fine, really."

===================================

Azuma: "Okay then."

*Cameron shrugs, not having anything to add to the conversation*

<So...uh...you wanna meet the wife?>
===========================
"That's good, I guess."

*She sits down & puts an arm around Taiyo.*
===========================
*And so I guess they find a spot in the park surrounded by trees. Wizardmon lifts her hands.*

<Magical Game!>

"...Everything seems the same."

<I made the night darker. It's not exactly a dramatic change.>

Renamon: "Okay."

===================================

Taiyo puts an arm around Euryale and cuddles up to her.

===================================

And then Hitomi readies a whatchamacallit.

*They get ready to enter the portal*

OOC: Bug me about posting more plot. Don't read it.

*The portal opens overhead of a Victorian-style city that has been ransacked with bombs--the buildings are charred with chunks missing out of them, & there are huge craters in the streets. There are no signs of life.*

<This place looks familiar...that's not good....>
==========================
Mr. Rakshashi<Hey, Honey, there's someone out here I want you to meet!>

*Euryale's mother enters, taking only a slight step back, what a trooper.*

Mrs. Rakshashi<Hello, Renamon. I heard Euryale yelling about you earlier.>
==========================
*Euryale rests her head.*

"So, how ya like the place?"

Renamon: "Yes, it's nice to meet you. Thank you for having myself and Taiyo over."

===================================

Taiyo: "It's pretty nice. I didn't think you liked Lillymon."

===================================

Azuma: "You've been here?"

Biyomon:<We're too late...>

Lunamon:<This place looks familiar?>

"Huh? Oh."

*She looks over.*

"I bought some stuff when I got Agu. What makes you say that?"
========================
<Yes. But I came to the material world soon after I was hatched. That must mean that this is close to a Village of Beginnings.>

"A what?"

<When you don't absorb a Digimon's data, that data will reformat into a Digi-Egg. But where does it go to be hatched? A Village of Beginnings--there's 1 in most sectors.>

"So they could destroy the Digi-Eggs again?"

<It's worse than that. If the Village is too heavily damaged, the stray data can't reformat properly. If they're all gone, no Digimon will be able to be reborn, until the Sovereign can cleanse them.>
===========================
<You're quite welcome, & it's nice to meet you, too. I was actually just on my way to tell the girls that dinner is ready.>

Kylie:<We have to go find the village!>

Renamon nods and remains seated.

===================================

Taiyo: "I didn't take you as the kind to like flowery Digimon."

===================================

Azuma: "We can see what's left of one here. And we have no way of getting to any other."

"I don't know of that many Digimon. I thought about Greymon, but then I figured that I should just get a picture when Agu digivolved. Also a picture of you, or us."
======================
Mrs. Rakshashi<If you'll excuse me.>

*She heads up the stairs.*
======================
<I don't think that this is the village itself. But even if we could find it, what would we do?>

Taiyo: "Or both?"

===================================

Azuma: "Ask them politely to stop? Really there is nothing we can do."

Kylie:<We can try and defend the village....>

D<And lose badly. Assuming it's even still there.>
=============================
"Yeah, why not?"

*And suddenly there's a knock-knock-knockin' on the door.*

<Dinner's ready! And do you know where Agumon is?>

"No, sorry!"

Kylie:<Well, what do you think we should do?>

And so Taiyo begins to unwrap herself from around Euryale.

===================================

Azuma: "The only thing we can do."

T"Which is?"
==================
Mr.<Well...let's go into the kitchen, then.>
==================
*And so they exit.*

Mrs.<Hello, Taiyo. It's nice to meet you. Well, formally.>

Renamon nods and follows this dude to the kitchen.

===================================

Taiyo: "It's nice to formally meet you too, Mrs. Rakshashi."

===================================

Azuma: "A whole lot of nothing."

Kylie:<If you don't have any suggestions, then don't bother saying anything.>

T"We should collect more information. Can you move where the portal opens up?"

<With great difficulty.>

*She holds her hands out towards it & the scene shifts to a desolate black field full of smashed eggshells. Senthose & Barbatos are walking through.*
======================
<Oh, please, call me "Ceto.">
======================
*He points to the stove.*

<So, there's the plates & the silverware, you can serve yourself, & those bottles are various sauces. For flavoring. What would you like to drink?>

*Kylie falls to her knees*

<They destroyed the village full of baby digimon...>

Renamon: "Do you have orange juice?"

===================================

Taiyo: "Nice to meet you Ceto."

===================================

They remain silent.
