Old Ones Return (VI)

Lyra:<I think that came out wrong.>

Ts"Wow, do we REALLY have time to be arguing about this?"

E"Honey, you know I love you, & Renamon too, but she's got a point. Kurata could be on to us even as we speak."

Taiyo: "Right...."

As apparently it's okay for Tsune to be a right bitch and Taiyo's being irritable over her parents being abducted means nothing, Renamon goes to sneak up on a guard and snatch something she likely has no idea what it is.

*Everyone waits, Lyra looking pissed*

*Euryale points out the name tag & presumably they all see how Renamon can be all sneaky & do things while no one notices.*

Right Guard<I think it's a false alarm. Better call it in.>

*The left guard digs out a black cell phone, flips it open, & starts dialing.*

Renamon takes the nametag presumably without having to fuck anyone up.

Lunamon:<She's such a baddass.>

*He puts the phone to his ear.*

<Pardon me, Ma'am, but we think this might be a false alarm. We don't see anything down here.>

*He covers the phone.*

<(She says some Wild Ones can make themselves invisible.)>

Renamon gets the hell back to the group with the knowledge that their being there is known.

Renamon: "They suspect we're here."

Cameron:<Shit, we better move fast.>

E"We'll find another way around. Come on!"

T"There should be another staircase at the end of this hall."

*She points to the right & Euryale takes off in that direction.*

They all go off in that direction.

*Following!*

*As they head up the stairs, the intercom kicks on.*

Female voice<Wild Ones in B2, north staircase!>

ML<Maybe we should split up, confuse them.>

Ts"That sounds like a horrible idea."

E"Thiera, where is the video room?"

T"Just down this hall, to the south. But I'm sure there's going to be at least 1 person watching the monitors!"

Cameron:<Guess we'll have to take them out.>

Azuma: "It wouldn't be such a bad idea if it draws attention away from us."

E"Let's just get there first. We need to know where we're supposed to be going before we can split up."

Ts"You're actually going along with that?"

E"I don't know, we may need to confuse them. For now, let's just go!"

*This time, when they run off, they see Datamon emerging from the surveillance room. He pushes through their noise cancellation bubble.*

Data<You have arrived, and only 244.1 seconds behind schedule.>

D<Wait, how did you know we were here?>

Data<I subjected this hallway to an infrared scan.>

How long is that?

Azuma: "Did you do anything while you were in there?"

Lunamon:<How did you get in anyway?>

Data<I have reviewed the video files & am transmitting detailed instructions to your D-Powers.>

*Behind him, a shapely Hypnos agent with a long braid of blond hair steps out. Euryale raises her fist, but lets it drop just as quickly. Agumon throws his claws up.*

E"It's Venusmon..." A<We're saved!> "...and damn, she looks amazing in that suit."

*She closes her eyes & shakes her head while Gomamon peeks out from Tsune's backpack.*

G<Ooh, where?!>

E"Damn it, stop doing that!"

V<I have taken every measure to restrain my glory. It's not as though I want your human lust aimed at me.>

D<She does seem a bit less majestic now that she's got some clothes on.>

*Thiera turns to her, smiling a trollish smile.*

T"You said, 'majestic.'"

D<No I didn't!>

*Everyone checks their respective D-Powers*

Lookin' at D-Powers because that's how shit gets done.

*After a little Agumon delivers a letter to a little planet, the D-Powers open up maps to a detention center that occupies B7-9. A point on B7 East is labeled A while another on B9 West is labelled B. Focusing in expands the labels to read A: Sorenson, Shizuka, Rakshashi, Haruka & B: Kornal, Alla, Psyche, Shikasu, Aqua. Euryale steals a glance at Venusmon as she checks hers, while Agumon & Gomamon haven't stopped staring.*

Ts"So this is where our parents are being held? What about the security?"

Data<Unsurprisingly, those cards will not provide you with access. You will need 2 identification passes just to gain access to each cell block. Aside from that, each cell has individual certification, which-->

E"There's no way we'll have time for that. Once we get down there, can we bust out the good old fashioned way?"

Data<With an estimated margin of error of .32 seconds, yes. Once any cell is improperly breached, each exit will be locked down by thick steel doors and an alarm will sound. Furthermore, the fire extinguishing series will trigger, which is contains chemicals designed to break down binary-based proteins.>

T"You mean...the water will dissolve the Digimon?!"

Data<It will result in their sequential degeneration & eventual permanent dissolution, precisely.>

E"Then we'll have to either disable the sprinklers or find something to protect them with."

Data<Tampering with the fire extinguishing system will also result in the security protocol being activated.>

Azuma: "So what do you suggest we do? Disable the power to the facility?"

Lyra:<The power will probably be the most heavily guarded area.>
