Old Ones Return (IV)

*Cameron shakes his head*

<It's definitely not rock. It's pretty obviously manufactured.>
---
<We would still need to find those.>

E"Maybe. Let's take it back to the others, & figure it out from there."
=======================
Th"I don't think they know anything about it."
=======================
Ts"Whatever, can't do anything until we're let out tomorrow, anyway."

<Oh, sorry for bothering you then.>
---
Lyra:<Yeah.>

Azuma: "Anyway of contacting the others or do we have to go get them?"

E"We have to go that way, anyway."
==========================
T"Wait, do you know if anyone's gone into Frigimon Village in the past few years?"

Gabumon<Why would anyone do that? There's nothing there anymore.>

Veemon<And there was hardly ever anything there to begin with!>
==========================
Ts"I'm going to bed."

<I guess I will too.>
---
Karatenmon:<Well, thanks for your help.>

Azuma: "Fair enough."

*The next day, Tsune asks if they can leave, but the receptionist says that she isn't sure; there are a lot of conflicting instructions about the police blockade.*
==========================
*Meanwhile, everyone else has reassembled in the lab & hooked up the S.O.D. Thiera hops on the computer.*

Th"It says that everything is safe & normal. Kurata didn't really build this thing with adjustable settings, though."

E"We could try gathering up a bunch like he did, & then blowing them all."

Th"I don't think that's a good idea. But maybe if we could open that wormhole again, we could safely go back home."

*A Datamon rolls up to the device & puts a wire to it, listening to it like a stethoscope.*

Datamon<We can perform the necessary modifications to graft it to the Other Agumon's Ultimate Form.>

A<..."Other Agumon"?>

E"And then we can go home?"

Datamon<It will have enough power only to open a small portal. If you can send a message through, then perhaps your world can help open the gate.>

Th"But what if Kurata traces it & comes back through?"

<If he's dumb enough to fight me again, then fine!>

*Marcus punches his hand.*

Cameron:<Maybe you could come with us and help. We don't really have much to offer you though...>
---
*Lyra waits beside Tsune, Kotemon off in a corner somewhere*

Azuma: "Then we have to get this dude back to his world using something we know little about. If Kurata does trace our signal, he'd likely send something after us."

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

Hideki is sitting in the waiting room, earbuds in still.

<As much as I'd like to punch Kurata in the face again, I have a job to do here.>

E"Now, are you sure it's SAFE to just graft one of those devices onto Metal Greymon?"

A2<Of course it is. Why would we bring this guy, if he wasn't legit?>
======================
*Tsune heads back into the room & looks out of the window. Their room is on the 3rd story, & overlooks a partially wooded area behind the hospital.*

G<Maybe we should just escape?>

Ts"But then what will happen when they notice we're missing?"

Lyra:<We'd get in so much trouble.>
---
<Oh...>

Azuma: "I don't know. Everyone makes mistakes?"

E"So, I guess we'll need to go outside so that Agumon can Warp Digivolve."

*The man finally gives Azuma that punch in the face that he's been promising. He suddenly appears halfway across the room & plants his fist in Azuma's face. Azuma then flies down the hallway.*

E"Oh, good, we'll follow his lead."
====================================
*Tsune turns & shrugs in an agitated fashion.*

Ts"Then what ELSE are we going to do?"

*Lyra shrugs*

<I don't know?>
---
*Cameron and Biyomon look startled*

Cameron:<That was...>

Biyomon:<Wow.>

Azuma: "What the hell, man?!"

<I warned you! In this world, people who look for fights get them, courtesy of me!>

*He punches his chest, which fares significantly better than Azuma.*

<And just so you know, I barely touched you.>

A2<Shouldn't fight Boss, if you don't want to get hurt!>

*Euryale & Thiera walk past Azuma's dumb ass, Thiera shifting her gaze nervously. Agumon walks with Euryale while DemiDevimon flies up to Azuma & lands beside his head.*

D<Hahahahahahaha!>

*She falls over & starts rolling around, flapping her wings & kicking her legs.*

D<HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!>

*Meanwhile, outside, Agumon Digivolves, bursting from his aura as he grows larger & sprouts wings in a flash of light, & then his metal components piece themselves together over his arm, chest, & head.*
=========================
*And so they presumably sit around until a nurse comes in & tells them that they're finally free to go home, but should expect to be stopped & questioned by every cop or guy in a suit that they see.*

*Cameron and Biyomon follow Thiera and Euryale*
---
<So...we splittin' up?>

Azuma deploys the whip dealy of his D-Power against DemiDevimon while Taiyo follows out after Euryale.

<HEY! You wanna fight, you fight with me!>

*Marcus slides across the room, kicking Azuma & sending him rolling & skipping across the ground, before the whip can connect with DemiDevimon. Meanwhile, Datamon climbs MetalGreymon with the SpaceOscillationDevice in 1 hand &, upon reaching his shoulder, begins dismantling a part of it. Euryale turns & stops Azuma with her foot like he's a soccer ball.*

E"Didn't you learn anything?"
=============================
Ts"Looks that way."

Azuma: "That this is an uncivilized world?"

<Should we exchange numbers or something?>
---
Cameron:<You did kinda deserve it...>

E"I was referring more to what happens when you pick fights that you can't possibly win."

*Datamon goes about installing the S.O.D. into the arm & hooking up several wires to it, before covering it back up.*

A<Let's give it a try. Giga Blaster!>

*MetalGreymon fires his missiles into the sky, where they explode after reaching a certain height. When the explosion clears, there's a small point of light in the sky, like a star.*

T"Is that the portal? It's so small, for all of the energy that he put into it."

Datamon<Vast amounts of energy are required to bridge worlds that are not normally connected.>
=============================
Ts"Why would we?"

<Why not? I have a weird feeling we'll be seeing more of each other.>
---
*Biyomon digivolves and picks up Cameron*

Azuma: "Wasn't picking a fight. Just-"

Salamon: "Being dumb."
