Old Ones Return (IV)

Azuma: "Sure. Thanks for guiding us here."

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

And so Hideki sits on a stretcher.

Karatenmon:<Thanks for all of your help.>
---
*Lyra waits around, not wanting to move*

*Some time later, they're disinfected, bandaged up, transported to the hospital, & all kind of dumped into the same room. Tsune is looking around the room, to her D-Power, & back. They were also told that their parents have been notified, but can't get through, due to a government blockade.*
===========================
*Right in the nick of time, RizeGreymon comes back. He points down to the boundary of the snowy area, & lands on the grass. In that brief time, they can see that the human has several coats like his, but lined with fur, & also gloves & booties. MetalGreymon swerves down to follow.*

Taomon and the angels follow.

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

Hideki sits in a corner, earphones in. The volume is high enough the others can vaguley hear screaming.

*Lyra whispers to Tsune*

<(I think he might have issues.)>
---
*As does Karatenmon*

*Tsune looks over.*

<Huh? Oh, maybe.>

*She then slashes Aero Wing & holds her D-Power up to the window. It starts emitting pulses of light that blaze across the room.*
======================================
*The forever unnamed human distributes the coats & stuff. As they're putting them on, he points.*

<Frigimon Village is at the base of that mountain.>

T"Do we have any way to search for the Space Oscillation Devices, aside from randomly digging in the snow?"

<Not really.>

Azuma: "Locals might be able to help. Might have seen something weird."

Cameron:<Might as well ask around.>
---
<What are you doing?>

"Trying to signal Gomamon so that he can come up."

*And Gomamon does indeed land at the window.*
======================
<No way, that's going too far out of our way!>

"I guess we could always split up."

<Hey, do you think you could grab Kotemon, please?>
---
Cameron:<We can cover more ground that way.>

Azuma: "Certainly would help us get a better idea of what this world is like. Might be a good idea depending on how long we're here for."

*And so Gomamon swoops down & returns with Kotemon. Tsune makes her way to the window to open it, grimacing every few steps.*
=========================
E"Well, I'm going to Frigimon Village. Any other volunteers should come stand by me."

Taiyo is standing my Euryale as usual. Azuma isn't keen on the potential to getting punched out by some jag off, so he and Hitomi join the Frigimon Village group as well.

*Cameron looks at Thiera*

<I guess it's you and me?>
---
*Lyra follows*

<Thanks a million.>

T"It looks that way."

E"You know, Taiyo, you don't have to trek through the snow with me if you don't want to. I can meet you back here later."
=======================
T"Yeah. Sure."

*Gomamon jumps down, the wings vanishing.*

G<We've been looking around, the city's pretty broken up. There are black & white vans everywhere. Also cars that are both.>

"The white are ambulances, & the black & white are police. The black are probably Hypnos."

G<What's a Hypnos?>

"They do something or other involving keeping Digimon in the Digital World. I don't know the details. Before the D-Reaper attack, they were completely secret. We still don't know a lot about them."

Taiyo: "It's okay, really."

Lyra:<Looks like they aren't doing a good job keeping digimon in the digital world.>
---
*Cameron smiles*

G<Well, they've all gone back now. It's like there was some huge fight that just broke loose from our world, & wound up in yours.>
================================
*"The bosses" lead them through the snow & eventually stop at the base of the mountain.*

<Well, here we are: Frigimon Village.>

E"But there's nothing...oh...."

*With no other options, Euryale bends down & starts digging. Agumon melts away sections of snow with his Pepper Breath.*
==============================
*The nearest village is a simple construction of cobbled roads & white buildings with thatched roofs. As they walk in, they hear a raspy voiced something or other singing cheesy pop music from further in. Being that they're a bunch of freaks in this world, they quickly have a gaggle of Veemon & Gabumon surrounding them, whispering.*

Lyra:<Weird.>
---
Cameron:<Um, hello there little guys.>

Taiyo: "They live under the snow?"

And so they rummage through the snow.

Veemon<Who are you guys?>

Gabumon<What are you doing here?>

T"Uh, well, I'm Thiera, & this is Cameron."

*She gestures to Cameron.*

T"We came to ask if any of you have seen a Space Oscillation Device."

*They stare at her blankly.*
==========================
E"No, Taiyo. They're all gone. For good."
==========================
"If we keep getting into fights like that, we're going to need the card that makes you Digivolve."

<Round black thing, about this big.>

*Cameron uses his hands to show the size*
---
<Where would we even start to look for one of those?>

Taiyo: "Oh..."

Veemon<Sounds like a rock. Why would you want a rock?>
=====================
"Yeah. We have to stop him."

A<I found one!>

*Agumon holds up a Space Oscillation Device. The new guy crosses his arms as Euryale turns & looks it up & down.*

E"It's dented. It might not work. Or worse, it could be dangerous."

<Well, you're not jumping into it. You're just seeing if it hooks up with the computer.>
=====================
"How should I know?"

G<They were trading the cards in the Digital World. Maybe some of those found their way over, too?>

Azuma: "What do we do from there then? Any of the Digimon from the city know how to fix it up?"
