Kazai sighed. Things were honestly getting out of hand with these Digimon. They were starting to appear everywhere. Left and right she was seeing Digimon. It was quite the nuisance. But the most significant question here was why the kids even had digimon. To protect them, of course, but still, it was quite the conundrum.

Hiro and Kazai had decided to orchestrate a meeting with the other known Digidestineds to help get this situation figured out. All of them were to sneak back into the school computer lab after hours and meet at approximately 9pm. The school was closed. The janitors had already gone home, so there were little chances of being caught. Why at the school? Well, of course because there were so many computers there, the school was empty, and the chances that someone would see the Digimon were much more slim than if the meeting had been at someone's home or apartment.

Kazai sat in the rolling chair behind the teacher's desk in the back of the room. She was doing quite a bit of work on 3D modeling for her school project. She figured that she may as well get a headstart on her differential modeling before the other students made their way here. She had gotten here a bit early, and since she and Hiro both came on their own, she was alone right now... well, if it weren't for Petitmamon.

"Do you even have any idea what you're doing?" The little imp asked Kazai as she took a step on the keyboard to get a better look at the graph.

"It's just a standard 3-variable differential model which I coded on MathLab. Now, can you take a step back. You're going to mess up the code," Kazai spat at Petitmamon who then promptly took a step off of the keyboard.

"Thank you."

[faceofbear]

Hiro was hanging upside down from his legs on steel bar that was once a part of scaffolding, now simply sitting by the trash though not too close. Hiro was drinking his favorite beverage, coffee milk, as per the usual far with him. Sucking it down slowly through a straw, still upside down. Agumon standing in front of him, drinking the same, there wasn't much conversation until Agumon started to notice the time, how it was almost to the meeting he and Kazai had orchestrated for the other digidestined in the school. "Do you know any of the other Digidestined, Hiro? Do you think there will be anyone stronger than us?" Agumon spoke between sips. Hiro staring at him blankly through the fading light, now quickly dark with only lights from the school to illuminate the area.

"Stronger... than us? Are we even strong?" Hiro posed the question, he wasn't really sure. His battle sense was all logical and based on a strong instinct and tactical nature. Was that strength in a digimon battle, though? Agumon would know far better than he did.

"You idiot! Of course we're strong. My power and your brain, our combination is something to behold. Tch, don't sell yourself so short partner." Agumon speaking again, finishing his coffee milk and throwing the carton in the dumpster. Walking over to Hiro, holding out his hand. Hiro taking it.

"Okay... let's go, aibou." Aibou, meaning partner in Japanese. A signal of their trust for one another. Grabbing Agumons hand, Hiro let his legs go limp and used the leverage from his hand to flip over and land on his feet, falling shortly after landing however. Now on his back, Agumon sighing again.

"Must you kill every cool moment we have, Hiro?" Agumon picked Hiro up, forcing him onto his feet even though his body was completely limp. Slowly they walked toward the designated meeting area, computer lab. He had hoped he would arrive before the other students, at least before everyone except for Kazai. He wanted to give her a quick kiss or something, he hadn't had a chance to all day and it was killing him. Slowly walking into the lab, sliding the door shut behind him, he saw that Kazai had gotten there first. He anticipated as such. Smiling he sat down next to her, Agumon making faces at Petitmamon from across the room.

"Hello Kazai-chan." Hiro spoke, a warm tone from his mouth.

Sneaking into a school at night? That was never a problem. By now, this sort of thing had almost become a joke to Ryutaro. With Coronamon tagging along, he even had a lookout for the first time ever. Not that he needed one. Just a simple dash through the darkness toward the school's back doors, from there he didn't even have to do anything as he'd been expecting, the doors were already unlocked.

"Hurry up, sis," he whispered back to the person behind him. She had a digimon too, so naturally he had passed the invitation from Kazai onto her as well. Ryu pushed the door open with no effort at all, that is, because he didn't have to take any time to pick the lock as he had earlier told his partner he might have to do.

Coronamon watched as the door opened with ease. "You're not as useless as you look, human," nodded the fiery digimon, he was under the assumption that Ryu was just that skilled at breaking into buildings. Half compliment half insult, that was about as much as anyone could expect from Coronamon.

From there, they headed toward the computer lab. The very same computer lab where it all began! Ryutaro and his partner barged right in through the open doors. "Hey. We're here," eh? He didn't recognize the red-head nor the yellow dinosaur. But he did see Kazai and... that thing with her. Strange, her DemiMeramon had digivolved too but it looked nothing like Coronamon!

[anima]

<sub>"I'm coming, I'm coming..." Sakura whispered when her little brother urged her on as they came to the already unlocked door to the middle school. Sneaking around at night definitely was not something Sakura was most comfortable with. Breaking into school grounds? It pretty much went against everything she thought to be right. She wasn't a trouble maker, she was a very responsible person, and she knew full well it wasn't right to break into a building.

Unfortunately, finding herself as partner to a digimon has made going by the rules very, very difficult. She had wanted to just send Wanyamon back to the digital world, and forget this whole mess so she wouldn't have to sneak around like this, but after realizing how dangerous digimon could be and that more of them were finding their way into the human world, this whole thing turned into something she had to do. Their partner digimon might be the only thing that can stop bad digimon from reaping havoc on the human world!

It was a very odd feeling. It didn't really make much sense to her either. Surely the military could handle this sort of stuff right? Her gut however, was telling her that this was something they had to do, that it wasn't just a freak random event that Wanyamon had come to her. If they were destined to be partners, there had to be a reason for it, something they had to do. Protecting the human world from attacking digimon seemed to be it.

So, here she was, sneaking into the middle school with her little brother. She wished Ryutaro's friend had chosen a better place, but there was nothing that could be changed now. Meeting up with other people who had partners seemed the most logical thing to do right now. Wanyamon had said bad digimon could get very big and strong, and if they could sort out a way to work together on this they might stand a chance of defeating stronger digimon like that. It was a good plan, she just had to wonder how many people would show up.

"Can I come out now?" Wanyamon complained from inside Sakura's bag. She had been forced to stay in there, to minimize the chance she'd be seen. Wanyamon didn't think it was necessary herself, Coronamon the walking beacon would likely attract way more attention whether she was out of the bag or not. "It's stuffy in here."

"Yeah, sure." Sakura said, pulling her bag off her back and taking Wanyamon out, allowing her to sit on her head as they walked down the hallway. It was only last year she had been at this school, but already she was feeling a bit nostalgic. Wonder how my old teachers are doing... She thought curiously, but soon they reached the lab. "Hey there." said Sakura as she looked over those already in the room. There were only two people there, neither of them she recognized.</sub>

[kazai]

It seemed that people were finally starting to arrive. It was a good thing too. Kazai would have felt like a bit of a moron if she had ended up being here completely alone and no one except for Hiro showed up. She lifted her head to look over the computer and see who it was that was coming into the room. Ryutaro and his sister, no doubt. Both of whom had Digimon apparently, just like Kazai and her own sister.

Kazai still really hadn't made amends with Ryutaro. The two of them hadn't gotten along very well at the sleepover party they were planning on having. Kazai had gotten over it, but it was still too awkward for her to invite him herself. That was why she had had Hiro tell him earlier in the day that Kazai wanted this meeting. Despite whatever grudges they held, it was important that they worked together. That much Kazai knew. They needed to find a way to end this Digimon uprising before things got out of hand.

"Hey brother," Petitmamon said stubbornly as she crossed her arms. She still hadn't quite forgiven Coronamon for having ditched her when they were only babies. After all that time she had thought she had her big brother to count on, but apparently not. Kazai figured she'd greet them as well.

"Hey, Ryutaro-kun, Sakura-senpai," Kazai said with as much genuity as she could muster.

[hanzo]

Hanzo wasn't really sure about going to this meeting. It wasn't like him to go into big groups of people. Not only that but he wasn't even sure of who would all be there. Well he was sure that since Kazai had invited him, then Hiro would be there. He honestly didn't like the guy, especially after what he said to him back when he meet them in the Digital World.

Hanzo and Ryudamon strolled through the school halls. It was already established that they were only going to hear whatever they had to say or planned on doing. They would distance themselves from everyone, he was honestly done with being a good and nice guy. So during this meeting he would seclude himself. Ryudamon understood his feelings behind it too. So the partner digimon only followed his friend as the came upon the computer lab.

Entering in Hanzo would look at everyone, his eyes recognizing everyone. He only nodded at Sakura and Ryu with a slight smile. After he did that he made his way to the back so that it would be easy for Hanzo and Ryudamon to be away from everyone.

[faceofbear]

Hiro didn't say a word, nothing at all really. He had no real thing to say, he didn't know anyone and he had very little interest in anyone here at all. The only faces he knew were Kazai's and that depressing lost guy he met in the digital world, even then he didn't know his name. Not even a single syllable of it. Hiro slowly spinning in his chair, looking up at the ceiling. Agumon now by his side, arms folded across his chest and sighing a bit under his breath. "Tch... sure getting crowded in here now..." Agumon said softly, only Hiro able to hear clearly. Scratching the top of his head as he spun in the chair.

"You think so? What did you expect. It wouldn't be much of a meeting if it were just two people." Hiro spoke, Agumon closing his eyes and sucking it's teeth again. Hiro stopped and put his hand on Agumon's shoulder. Agumon looking up at Hiro, sighing slowly again as his attitude began to fade. "We owe it to Kazai to at least give it a shot, you know?" Speaking slowly again, to his partner. Hiro observed all who walked in and their digimon's attributes. A boy with a weird flaming cat that could walk. Another small blue kitty thing. Agumon staring at Coronamon. Focusing his eyes a bit harder before sucking his teeth again.

"Not impressed..." Agumon sighed and leaned against Hiro's chair, Hiro himself simply blankly staring around the room. Not saying much, if anything at all. He wasn't one for groups, or big groups that is to say. He lived alone, did most things alone, he had never really been around a group of people who would pay any attention to him. In the back of his head he was observing everything around him, every digimon, every movement of muscle, could someone here be a traitor? Perhaps. He didn't know for sure, as such he was on edge a bit.

[stark]

”My sister. It’s been a while,” Coronamon nodded toward Petitmamon. They really looked nothing alike now! Where was the family resemblance?

Hanzo and his partner arrived for the meeting. Funny how Ryutaro had first encountered him in the Digital World, not knowing him in this one, and yet here he was going to the very same school. It was quite the coincidence, although not important to the purpose of the meeting. If they even truly had a purpose here, that was. The digimon already seemed to be relatively under control, from what Ryutaro could see.

Both Coronamon and his partner found it somewhat odd to see Kazai sitting with that kid Hiro and what looked to be his partner. Hiro didn’t seem to mind sitting next to the girl, for now at least, but it did make Ryu wonder how long it would be before Kazai became annoyed with the red head as she had done to him. Or maybe, he was wrong, maybe it was only him that she didn’t like... ehhh, it was probably pointless to think about anyway.

As his partner pondered trivial details, the fiery digimon began to eye Agumon, uncertain of why the dinosaur was staring at him. And upon hearing the insult, his fur immediately bristled. In a sad attempt to try to control his anger, Coronamon began to grind his teeth together, his gaze turned into a glare, from there he could no longer contain himself calmly.

”What did you just say?!” he yelled in anger, all hell had broken loose now. The digimon spared no attention to any of the others in the room, his anger had skyrocketed, he raced toward Agumon as flames gathered at his fists. ”Coro-knuckle!” he attempted to tackle the dinosaur digimon first, and then would try to follow his assault up with a punch, or two, or four, however many times he could manage! This jerk was going down.

[anima]

<sub>So far, it didn't seem like much was happening yet, shortly after she and her brother arrived, Hanzo walked into the computer lab. She returned his smile with a wave, but since it seemed he wanted to be away from the crowd, she decided not to follow him. Instead, she turned to the girl who approached her and her partner, who greeted Coronamon as 'brother', however coldly. "Heya! You must be Kazai-chan." She said, nodding politely to the younger girl. Her gaze shifted over to her brother, who seemed to have completely missed Kazai's greeting, so she tapped him on the shoulder. "Be polite, say hello!" She chidded.

Wanyamon looked around the room at each of the humans and digimon there. It seemed like a pretty small turn out. Were there really this few digidestined in Odaiba? Then she looked to Petitmamon as she greeted Coronamon, before hopping off of Sakura's head to land on Coronamon's instead. "You know, she doesn't look that happy to see you. What did you do to her?" The Wanyamon smiled knowingly. How could he appear so oblivious to Petitmamon's mood?

When the Agumon commented on Coronamon, Wanyamon simply rolled her eyes. Such a prejudiced comments only came from the weak minded. This Agumon wasn't even worth any consideration. Unfortunately Coronamon thought differently and charged in for an attack, causing her to fall off his head and hit the ground with a thud. "Hey idiot! You'll wreck the place!" Wanyamon shouted at Coronamon indignantly. What the heck was that hot-head thinking?

When Coronamon called the attack, Sakura's attention shot to the two digimon. this was not good, if they caused any damage, there would be no hiding that people had sneaked into the school."Ryutaro, control your digimon!" Sakura shot at her little brother as she went to grab Wanyamon off the floor. Just how did you stop a flaming cat thing? She looked down to Wanyamon. If she could digivolve to Gaomon she probably could stop them, but the little blue kitten only stayed alert where she was, prepared to defend Sakura if the fighting got too close to them.</sub>

[faceofbear]

Agumon was impressed to see such a firey Digimon in Coronamon. Holding it's claw's up to intercept Coronamon's fist, when the Digimon closed in Agumon's mouth began to glow with an intense red flame. Eyes focused downward on the fire-man-cat-thing that was suddenly attacking him. What pride. Hiro interjected however, slapping Agumon on the top of the head and causing him to lose his balance, falling to the floor instead of being hit by his opponent's attacks. Agumon standing up quickly, stomping it's foot and beginning to yell towards Hiro. "What do you think you're doing Hiro?! Where do you get off hitting me like that?! I thought we were partners! Why you little..." Hiro held his hand up to the Coronamon who was sure to be attacking again after the miss.

Looking down toward Agumon. "I'd really rather not have you incinerate the room Agumon... just calm down... everything will be fine. We didn't come here to make enemies..." Speaking slowly, his empty eyes fixated on the Digimon. Only half open, Hiro's lips once again wrapping around the straw to his coffee milk. Agumon turning around and folding his arms over his chest.

"Tch... whatever! Don't do that again without telling me you jerk!" Agumon's eyes opening, locked onto the Coronamon again. "And you... I like your style." Closing his eyes once again and tilting his head toward the ground, Agumon had to bite his tongue. The only one who could quell his anger was Hiro, at any time it was as if Hiro had complete subconscious control over Agumon's very emotions. A terrifying prospect. Hiro's eyes focusing on the owner of the Coronamon, nothing in his eyes still. Deep red nothing, he didn't say a word or make any sort of facial expression but he almost said hello. Almost.

[misaka]

The south end of the school was crowded with the small group of teenage girls from the school soccer team. While the coach stood before them, they each seemed to start up towards him with respect and even some giddy expression. But then again, the guy was pretty cute, not to mention very cool in many of their opinions. Whenever he spoke, it was almost as if they were listening to a God, no one spoke at all. Even the young coach realized this, often taking advantage of the status to get much more accomplished from his team of young middle school girls.

The team was in an excited mood. After having returned to the school victorious, they were ready to head home to get some much needed rest for the next day. But as they all exited the locker room to move out into the somewhat brisk evening outside, a small noise came from within one of the lockers as a figure emerged from it calmly. Looking around to be sure she was alone, the teen then looked over towards her bag and sighed as she opened it.

"Kazai.......I swear this is a dumb idea...."

Misaka continued to open her bag, revealing the small blue dragon within as she watched him pop his head out to the surface with a grin. After receiving the rather odd request on her way home from the game, the young teen had been very skeptical about actually going about it. After all, it involved breaking and entering the school when it was locked up. Which in the end, could lead to both of them getting suspended or worse. Yet, seeing how it seemed that a lot of the tamers had been gathered there, she didn't think it would be fair for her not to risk it when everyone else was.

"That was fun! Especially the way you won the game Misa! You rock!"

Misaka sighed as she shook her head before picking up the bag and lugging it over her shoulder. She hadn't done as much as the DemiVeemon believed. The game had been won through a team effort, she had shot the winning goal. Still, a part of her held some pride within it. It was just that no one in her family had seen it. As always, both her parents were busy and they couldn't attend. Though at this point, Misaka was used to it. At she had one small fan, and maybe that was enough.

"Thanks DemiVeemon. But I need you to stay quiet. We still have to get to the computer room..."

Exiting the locker room slowly, Misaka looked from one end of the hall to the next before making her way silently towards the technology end of the building.

[yagami]

In many ways Ryusuke was not exactly thrilled with the current situation, but then again he kept reminding himself it could have been quite a bit worse. Indeed, it could had been Dr. Yamashita that had discovered the fact that Ryusuke had a digimon - he didn't know how it would've happened now that he thought about it, but it could've happened. Suffice it to say he was plenty surprised to begin with to discover that Misaka herself had a digimon partner as well, along with her little sister Kazai - it made sense that other people he knew might have partners as well considering that Hanako had one, and long before Ryusuke from the looks of things, but it still came as a shock. To put it bluntly, the emergance of such partnerships seemed to be much more widespread than he thought given the apparent size of this meeting Kazai had invited him to.

Glancing around the corner of the school gate to make sure there was no one there, Ryusuke waited a moment before dashing to the front of the school, not at all slowed by the weight on his back. As soon as Kazai had extended the invitation he'd used his digivice to allow Monodramon to pass through to the human side of things last night, only to find that he'd reverted to Hopmon upon arrival - a short lived relief, as Hopmon had ended up raiding the fridge and emptying half of it while Ryusuke was asleep, digivolving back into Monodramon and forcing them to figure out a new way to sneak the digimon into the meeting as well. It had been those events that had resulted in Ryusuke's current appearance - while he still looked the same, hair tied back in the usual simply ponytail, Ryusuke wore the black jeans and tanktop that exposed far more of his prosthetic arm than he was comfortable with in public, with the hoodie he usually wore over the tank top loaned to Monodramon. Normally that would have probably been enough, but for practicality's sake Ryusuke had forced Monodramon to piggy back until they reached the school, dispensing with having to wait for the digimon as he "oohed" and "ahed" at the differences between his world and Odaiba.

Reaching the door and crouching for a moment to allow the hoodie clad digimon to land on the ground, Ryusuke opened the front door and ushered his partner in ahead of him, following behind a moment later before breaking into a brisk jog towards the technology wing, arriving a moment later and climbing the stairs to the second floor, immediately spotting the room they were supposed to had been in several minutes ago by the open door and soft blue light coming from it. Walking out into the hallway just as Monodramon reached the top of the stairs as well and moved to follow his partner, Ryusuke knocked against the metal frame of the door with his prosthetic arm before entering.

"Sorry we're late, had to find a new way to sneak Monodramon across town. He's gained some weight since last night. Did we miss anything?" Ryusuke said, scanning the faces as he walked in - some people he knew, some he didn't. Kazai, of course, he recognized, along with Ishida Sakura from his year at the high school and Ishida Ryutaro, although the latter was by reputation alone. The kid with the dark hair also looked somewhat familiar, although he couldn't remember the name, but the last individual in the room, a rather sorry looking kid next to an orange dinosaur about Monodramon's size, was completely unknown to him.

"I didn't gain weight, I digivolved." Monodramon said, walking into the room from behind Ryusuke glancing up at his partner from underneath the raised hood of the sweatshirt before turning his attention to the other humans and digimon in the room and raising one hand in a relaxed greeting.

"In your case it's basically the same thing. I'm willing to bet you had no idea how heavy you were when we came here." Ryusuke muttered under his breath, barely moving his lips and hoping it was quiet enough that only Monodramon heard him.

[stark]

His sister, she couldn’t just mind her own business, could she? Gah, with an eye twitching in annoyance he slowly tilted his head at her, muttering quietly. ”Stop butting in, Sakura-chan, I already said hello.” And he certainly didn’t see any reason to say hi to the same people again. If he did that, he would look silly.

Ryutaro’s attention fell over to Coronamon as he heard the sound of urgency in Sakura’s voice. Whatever had instigated the attack was beyond him, but what he saw now was his own partner attempting to attack someone else’s partner! Luckily for both Ryu and Coronamon, no one was hurt... yet. There was a time and a place for petty battles like this, a time and a place! Here, in the computer lab, clearly was not such a place. This time at least, his sister was right, although the boy didn’t know exactly how to control his digimon, he was about to move in to try regardless.

Coronamon threw punch after punch, even after Hiro’s interference, but he was attacking in a blind sort of rage. Not actually paying attention to if he was hitting anything of importance, he just wanted to hit something, which ended up with him merely hitting Agumon’s hands over and over. When the yellow digimon spoke up again, this time toward Coronamon, he met his stare and discontinued his assault. ”Well I don’t like yours, lizard,” he snapped, rejecting the compliment. Coronamon turned and decided to walk back over to his partner.

”Okay then...” yep, that was basically all that Ryutaro had to say about the whole mess. On top of it all, the weird partner of that yellow digimon was staring at him in a creepy way now, a gaze that the blonde answered with shifting his eyes nervously between left and right, wondering if Hiro was actually looking at him or if it was something else.

In the end, the newcomer and the dragon that entered with him caught Ryutaro’s attention. ”Nope, you haven’t missed anything... Woah, cool!” He couldn’t help it, eyes widening at the shine of metal! That kid’s arm was metal, and it looked strong... like some sort of badass armor or something.

[kazai]

Finally, it seemed that everyone had made it back into the room. Kazai and Petitmamon still stood in the back behind the computer teacher's desk, although this seemed to be a good place since it was where he gave lectures from and everyone in the room could see herself and Hiro perfectly, which was important considering that they had been the two who orchestrated the meeting.

Kazai had simply continued to work on her project as the fighting went on. She waited for it to calm down on its own. She wasn't really interested in fighting Digimon, though it did concern her the potential that Coronamon and Agumon could accidentally start a fire. If that happened, the smoke alarms would go off and all of them would get caught for what had happened.

Regardless, Kazai hit the save button on her project and closed it up. She then stood up and made her way to the lecture area, or rather, in front of the projector screen. She grabbed Hiro by the hand as well to drag him up there with her. She felt he may have some useful stuff to say as well. Petitmamon, however, remained at the instructor's desk at the computer.

"So! Hi... everyone.. Glad you could all make it!" Kazai greeted them all with an uncharacteristically cheerful voice. She simply wanted to set that kind of tone to start off with.

"Though I notice some of you have way oversized Digimon. Come on you guys, it's not that hard to de-digivolve to in-training while in the human world, and it's necessary. Please do so now, just so if someone walks into the lab, we can at least hide our digimon or just pretend they're dolls or something," Kazai said to them. She had to assume that everyone here knew how to de-digivolve. If they didn't, she'd have to spend a while just teaching them that.

"In any case. The reason why we're all gathered here, as I'm sure you know, is because we are apparently the Digidestineds of Obaida Junior High School... and High School... And well.. I wanted to alert you all to some recent findings which we've made, particularly me, my sister, Misaka, and my brother... concerning a very important topic which must be explored. However, before I continue, could everyone please revert to their In-training or smaller stages?"

[hanzo]

Hanzō was glad that he stayed in the back away from everyone now. Seemed some of them couldn't even control their partners. Just letting them do whatever they wanted to do. Not something that's advisable when your suppose to be incognito. Especially with people out there wanting to find them in the human world.

Letting off a sigh, he watched as Kazai grabbed that boy's hand again and began to speak. He crossed his legs and arms, listening to what she had to say. He was trying to figure out what was going on with her. This was completely out of her character, yet it seemed that he didn't even know who she was anymore. Regardless, it wasn't an issue to him no more, he was basically done with her.

Looking over to Ryudamon, after Kazai had said that they should revert to a smaller form, he nodded to acknowledge that she was right. Ryudamon concentrated and a light began to form around him as his form shrunk and he became Kyokyomon. Kyokyomon floated there for a minute before going to rest on Hanzō's shoulder.
