A small flat in one of the 3-story houses somewhere in the residential district. A quiet place, where people do not tend to notice who go in and go out, a perfect place for someone to disappear, or for someone to have a talk without having others eavesdrop on important subject.
Hypnos bought this place from a third party through rather shady schemes to serve as a sort of a ... temporary base for their operatives, known as DigiOps. They were supposed to act like a bunch of students hiring a flat as cover up for true intentions.
Inside there was a radio, a computer, a TV set, a few chairs, a table, a sofa etcetera. Everything was perfectly average, or it seemed that way. The windows were always closed and hidden behind curtains - hiding everything away from prying eyes.
- The second agent is to be here soon... I wonder what kind of digimon she was given... Hmm, nice drink, so relaxing. You happen to have any more? - Renee asked, after emptying a cup of tea Larry gave her. She was sitting in a couch, staring at the empty teacup.
- You drank five cups already... The teapot is empty. And yes, she will be here soon. I am supposed to explain the situation in detail, once she arrives... For now, we wait. - the young man replied, sitting on another couch, eyes closed. All night chasing some wild one, no time for rest.
- Pity... - Renee replied, sadly looking in the empty cup again...

"If you drink too much more tea you're going to go-," BlackTerriermon inhaled a bunch of air until his stomach got incredibly bloated and he expanded inhumanly in size. Though after a couple of seconds, he released all of the air and returned to his normal size. He then went to playfully walking on the counter as though he were balancing on a thin line, though no such line actually existed.
Though after a couple moments, he lifted his ears up and stretched them out to take flight. He then landed upon Larry's head and flopped his ears down on top of him. Despite the fact that he had told a somewhat playful joke and remained somewhat playful, he wasn't laughing at all or so much as smiling.
"Alice is my partner by the way. She's really nice." |

Larry had a rather hard time figuring out where exactly the terriermon came from - the window was closed, and the door seemed that way too, was it ventilation duct? Unlikely though. The young man was perfectly content with the fact that the door was probably opened - he was too lazy to stand up and check this out, however. He looked up, at the small playful digimon sitting on his head, and said:
- I'm sure she's nice, is she going to show up, however? - the question was posed, and Larry looked at the door again, waiting for someone to enter. After all, if said digimon was able to teleport, or sneak around, human was not able to do so.
- A BlackTerriermon. You have a name? - Renee asked lazily from her place, putting the cup back at the table, and staring in the empty teapot with utter disappointment in her eyes. Somebody just found an addiction...

"A name? I am BlackTerriermon," Terriermon answered simply. That was as much of an answer as he could give to the man beneath him and his Digimon who had somehow been able to guess his name in the first place. Well, it wasn't hard. He was an artificially created Terriermon, and as a result, he ended up black. Therefore, he was both a black Terriermon, and the BlackTerriermon. No other name really was needed.
"You are confusing," Terrierimon said as he turned to face SilverRenamon. He then looked back down at the man below him who had asked him the question.
"I don't know when she'll show up. She said she was going to school and that it was too dangerous for me to go. It sounds brutal." |

- School sounds brutal? There is some truth to that statement. - Larry said, standing up from his chair, not dropping the small digimon from his head, however - for some weird reason it felt awfully comfortable. He went to fix up some more tea - the time was moving slowly, and there was nothing else to do anyway. Renee started looking more lively when she saw what he was doing, and picked up her cup again.
- You could only pass in school as a ... backpack, or a toy... Both don't survive too long in the hands of younger students... - Larry allowed himself a comment. Indeed, toys, especially cute ones, were prone to grabbing, tossing, etcetera, and younglings weren't afraid to even snatch those from older students...
With a teapot, full of delicious tea, he returned at the table, and prepared 3 more cups - Renee had her own, one was for himself, and one - small, was for the little terriermon. The last was for the agent they were waiting for...

"A backpack?"
Terriermon got the image of himself on someone's back as a backpack. And much more frightening, the thought of someone stuffing a bunch of items into his mouth. It really didn't seem like a pleasureable experience at all. Thank goodness he wouldn't have to deal with that. If he did, he'd probably end up hurting someone. Digimon weren't meant to be used as toys or back packs.
"I'm no toy!" Terriermon said adamantly. Though the second after he said this, his right ear would stand erect as he heard something at the entrance. The doorknob subtly began to turn as Alice opened the door and then walked into the room. She had just come from school, and had slung over her back a blue backpack.
"Alice!" Terriermon shouted in excitement before erecting his left ear as well allowing him to float through the air as he jumped toward Alice. He soon landed on her head and flopped down on top of her as he had done to Larry only moments before. |

- Ah good, you arrived. We were waiting for you... - Larry said, turning his head to see who it was, after pouring the tea in all four cups. His eyebrow twitched slightly, when he witnessed her coming in. This Alice, she wasn't exactly like he imagined her to be. Not a short geeky computer genius, a common stereotype, but a rather imposing young lady. This certainly was a pleasant surprise. Though the "hat", that landed on her head, looked a bit funny. He held the laugh, however.
- You're Alice McGuire, I take it? Pleased to meet you. My name's Laurence, and this is Renee... - the young man nodded towards the renamon who already was busy with her teacup, but who still was keeping an eye on the newcomer. She simply nodded in acknowledgement, returning to her "more important task".
- With BlackTerriermon we're already familiar with. Have a seat, if you wish, and I will start explaining the details of our assignment... - Larray added, and drew a rather stout file from a hidden pocket of his rather long coat, and placed it on the table.

"Hey, Terriermon."
Alice headed over to the dining table and took a seat as Larry had instructed. She was actually already somewhat familiar to the assignment as she already knew about the digimon that were in this world and the fact that something needed to stop them or else there would be a repeat of the events that had happened two years prior. Witht he amount of destruction that the Digimon menace made at that time, it could not be allowed to happen again, regardless of whether or not Digimon were living creatures or not.
She would have introduced herself to Larry around this point, but it seemed that he already knew exactly whom she was. Well, that was expected if he was going to be her new boss from now on. She still wasn't sure if coming to Japan was the right idea, especially if she had to take classes at a school which she already knew just to do so. |

- Very well, let's not waste any more time. I will spare you the historical excourse of events that took place two years ago. You should be familiar with them by now. I will start from what happened ... a month ago or so. - Larry said and opened the file he brought along, extracting several photos, and placing them on the table.
Although those pictures differed one from another in quality, the content was pretty much similar. These photos were taken by secret service troops, who were sent to apprehend first spawned digimon, when the crisis began. They weren't prepared to face an opponent with such magnitude of firepower... Losses were terrible, almost every pic had charred bodies. Of course, nobody knew of these sacrifices, and those who knew were silenced. An untold war - because not everywhere where digimon spawned there were tamers to meet them.
- In a week the state lost 57 servicemen killed and wounded. Human weaponry proves to be somewhat ineffective against such creatures... - Larry added dry statistics just for further note, and extracted some more pics from his large file. These were of much more peaceful content - both digimon and humans, mostly children, were together, looking happy.
- The scenario seems to be repeating itself again. As you know, last time it was those children, who shared bonds with spawned creatures, who stopped the upcoming menace. As embarracing as it was, Hypnos failed to complete the mission that was put upon them - to prevent this from happening. After sealing the barrier between worlds they hoped never to deal with this again... But nowadays the cycl repeats itself - more and more children bond with such "partners". Hypnos refuses to let their fate in the hands of a bunch of kids who may or may not be willing to help out the same way they did before, so that's why ... - he continued explaining, but was interrupted a bit.
- ... They created us. - Renee commented from her sit, sipping Larry's tea - she snatched it when no one was looking, and was eyeing for other cups as well.
- Yes. Our job, for now, would be hunting down spawns, and keeping track of natural "tamers", as they call themselves, until recieving further orders. Rather simple, no? - Larry posed a rethorical question.
- Digimon are not animals, and this is not a petting zoo. - Renee sounded a bit irritated, putting down the cup without finishing her tea. She just hated the term, it was demeaning - she considered herself to be a digimon too.
- Indeed. They said we will recieve a third member at some point. After that we will be sent out to do the same things the WH group did two years ago, but not because of a whim of heart, but as part of a job. - Larry replied and extracted 3 more photos, marked by label "WH". Rika Nonaka, with Renamon, Henry Wong with Terriermon, and Takato Matsuki, with Guilmon. The young man leaned back on his chair, allowing Alice to have a better look on the photos...

"Hmmm... Oh okay..."
Alice simply listened to everything that he had to say. As a matter of fact, she really didn't have many questions for him at this point. She simply took a moment or two to look at the photos that he had shown her along with BlackTerriermon. It seemed to make sense to her. Everything went together, and she understood her duties. There was only one thing puzzling her. Why would they need one of the world's top programmers to fight off these Digimon on the battlefield? Wouldn't she be more suited to be in a laboratory researching the Digimon rather than on the field combating them? It simply didn't make sense to her.
"We knew some of that already," BlackTerriermon said out of turn, thouhg it was the truth. They hadn't gotten much new information, though Alice always knew that getting a refresher would help them in the long run. They needed to make sure that they were on the same page, and in any case, she did learn a bit from him.
"So what happens now?" |
