Neo Digimon:
Digital War
Episode 4 - First Sortie
Digimon belongs to Toei Animation Co., Fox Kids, Saban Entertainment, Bandai, and so on... and is used without consent. I'm only borrowing them I'll return them as soon as they release uncut episodes with original Japanese language and subtitles.
Daisuke: What?! They'll never do that!
Archive: It's not my fault they won't cater to their market.
WARNING, PLEASE READ: This series will get extremely violent, very dark and will include sexual violence in later parts, so I don't suggest that anyone under eighteen to start reading this.

Koushiro typed into his computer, "We finally made it to the Free Digimon base, a ruined temple. According to an old geezer named Gennai-san, we should be able to find more digimon to aid us using a portal located here. While Miyako-kun and I were busy making it work, Unimon's 'army' of five digimon returned and Taichi discussed the situations of this war we've been drafted for."
"Taichi had better not become our leader. His stupid recklessness is liable to kill someone."

Hikari sat up with a jolt, breathing heavily and clutching her chest. All she knew was that she had another nightmare. She shut her eyes briefly and saw a flash of crimson light.
"Hey, are you okay?" Sora asked.
Hikari turned and looked at her with unfocused eyes. "I'm fine."
Miyako stifled a yawn. "Are you sure? You woke all of us up."
Hikari glanced around and saw all the girls of their group looking at her, since all the boys were in another room. "Sorry." She sighed and bowed her head. "It was just a nightmare. Nothing to worry about."
"Want to talk about it?" Miyako offered.
Hikari shook her head. "Nothing to talk about. I don't remember it."
Sora placed her hand on Hikari's shoulder. "Let's all try to get back to sleep. We've got a lot of work ahead of us."
"And I was hoping yesterday was a nightmare," Mimi whined.
"Please don't say that." Palmon's lower lip quivered. "You have no idea how long I waited for you to arrive."
"Sorry." Mimi patted her digimon partner on the head. "But meeting you was about the only good thing to happen to me."
Palmon scowled, since she didn't like to be patted on the head as if she was some pet. "Oh. I guess I can understand that."
Hikari stood up and started to walk out of the room.
"Hey," Miyako called out. "You should try to get some sleep."
Hikari looked back. "I won't be able to get anymore sleep tonight." With that, she exited the room.
Sora sighed heavily. "Don't worry too much about it. She's been having nightmares for years now."
"She does that every night?" Piyomon asked.
Sora nodded. "Yes, but she's a tough kid and can probably handle this entire situation better than anyone else."
"If you say so." Miyako didn't sound convinced.
_________________
"What are you doing up?" Hikari asked.
"Just thinking," Taichi replied. "Another nightmare?"
"Yeah." Hikari sighed. "I knew I should've slept somewhere by myself. I woke everyone up."
Taichi placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't blame yourself. You can't help it."
Hikari turned away. "I just wish I could remember the nightmares. Then maybe I could do something about them."
"Well, I hope you don't." Taichi looked at her with concern. "You look like you're in extreme pain during them."
"I know that, but how else am I supposed to make them stop?"
"I don't know." Taichi looked away.
"You're not going to be of much use to us tomorrow if you don't get any sleep, Niichan."
Taichi nodded. "I just can't stop thinking about what's going on and why we're here."
"Just remember to think things through before doing anything."
Taichi laughed bitterly. "I learned that lesson the hard way."
"Maybe this will be a good thing, and Koushiro-san will forgive you." Hikari sighed again. "And you can forgive yourself."
"I doubt it." Taichi yawned. "Well, I'm going to try and get a little sleep. Good night."
"Good night."

"You guys won't believe how we activate this portal." Koushiro grinned at the group of Chosen and their digimon. "It's as simple as using Netscape, because it is Netscape."
"You mean we're going to be transported to a web site?" Daisuke blinked in confusion.
Taichi shook his head. "Don't be stupid."
Koushiro glared. "Actually, he's correct. By inputting the proper HTML address, this room will transport us to the digimentals we seek."
"How does that work?" Yamato questioned.
Koushiro shrugged. "I haven't been able to figure that out yet. Just give me a little more time to find out."
"But for now, it's time to get two new digimon for our army!" Miyako cheered. "Let's go!"
"Inputting location now." Koushiro typed on his laptop. "Now we just have to enter that room and we'll be there." He led the way, followed quickly by Miyako and Tentomon.
"Wait! Won't the floor collapse... once... you step on it." Gabumon blinked seeing that floor had not broken apart as expected. "Maybe the trap is defective."
The rest of the kids exchanged confused looks, but followed with the digimon.
Tentomon crashed into the wall next to the door they just walked through. Miyako screamed as a black winged creature held Koushiro in one of its claws.
"Help me!" Koushiro cried out.
"I was hoping for this to be easy." Mimi sighed. "Palmon?"
Palmon grimaced, but then sat down. "I can't seem to evolve."
"What about you?" Taichi asked.
Agumon shook his head.
"We still outnumber him. Attack!" Daisuke called out.
The digimon nodded.
"Baby Flame." Agumon shot fire out of his mouth.
"Petite Thunder." Tentomon tried to electrocute his opponent.
"Petite Fire." Gabumon howling attack struck his opponent.
"Magical Fire." Green fire spiraled away from Piyomon.
"Marching Fishes." A stream of fishes came out of nowhere to strike Gomamon's target.
"Poison Ivy." Palmon's vines wrapped around Koushiro, hoping to pull him free.
The large black creature howled at them. It then stomped out of the room, still holding Koushiro and dragging Palmon along with him.
"Help!" Koushiro and Palmon cried as they were carried away.
"Palmon, no!" Mimi started to chase after him, but stopped when the black creature took flight. "We've got to do something to save them!"
Miyako shook as she approached one of two pedestals that were in the room. "This must be one of those digimentals. Maybe I can help with this." She placed her hands on the silvery egg with a pink heart shaped symbol and what looked to be two blades on it. The digimental began to glow softly and lifted far easier than she would've expected it to.
A crimson light spiraled up from where the digimental had rested. Suddenly a meter tall hawk appeared and slowly opened his eyes. "Hello, my name is Hawkmon."
"I'm Miyako. I need your help. My friend was just captured by some big black creature."
The rest of the Chosen and digimon stared at the two in surprise.
"Of course." Hawkmon nodded. "Just use your love to activate the digimental and I shall evolve for you."
"My love?" Miyako squeaked.
Hawkmon nodded and seemed to understand her reaction. "Your love for people or your family will suffice."
"I see." She held the digimental close to her heart. "Digimental up!"
"Hawkmon armor evolve!" The hawk was encased in a glowing ball, which somehow exploded without any force. A half-lion, half-hawk griffon stood before her wearing a large silver helmet similar in appearance as the digimental, which had disappeared. "Flapping with wings of love, Holsmon."
"Cool," Miyako breathed.
Holsmon squatted. "Climb on and we'll go search for your friend."
Miyako looked at the others. "You guys stay here. I'll go get Koushiro."
"Not a chance." Mimi ran over to them and hopped onto Holsmon's back. "Palmon needs me and I won't stay behind."
Tentomon flew over to them. "Neither will I."
Miyako scowled. "Fine, let's go."
They were gone before any else could say a word.
"We should go after them," Taichi said.
"And how will we do that?" Sora questioned. "We don't have a means of following them."
"Sure we do." Daisuke walked over to the other pedestal which had a stylized yellow egg with a purple symbol on it. He tried to lift it with all his strength. "Damn. Must be stuck."
"Maybe it's not yours." Takeru walked over. "Let me try."
"Knock yourself out."
_________________
Miyako would've enjoyed flying like this more if she wasn't chasing after a nightmarish creature. "Can't you go any faster?"
"Not while I have someone riding me," Holsmon replied. "Hopefully he'll land soon."
"Do you know what he is?" Miyako asked.
"I do not," Holsmon answered.
Tentomon shrugged. "I don't have a clue either."
The black creature was a Devidramon, a vicious viral dragon whose claws can rip his opponent to shreds.
"We'll it doesn't matter. We have to get our friends back." Mimi clutched onto Holsmon tighter. "Please try to move faster."
"Look he's landing." Miyako pointed.
"Hold on. You're in for a bumpy ride." Holsmon dived into some trees to cover their approach.
_________________
"You don't want to eat me. I'm just skin and bone." Koushiro laughed nervously, but he wanted to cry.
"I'm sure you're a carnivore, right?" Palmon sweated. "You wouldn't want a plant like me."
"Gee, thanks." Koushiro scowled.
The Devidramon seemed to be distracted for a moment as he looked towards some trees.
"Mach Impulse!" A sudden gust of wind sprang out of the trees striking Devidramon in the head.
The beast staggered back and then growled.
Holsmon floated in the air before the black creature. "Red Sun!" Crimson beams of energy shot out of the digimon's eyes, blasting the creature back.
"Where did he come from?" Koushiro wondered.
"I hope they're not fighting over lunch," Palmon commented.
"Hey, guys! We're here to rescue you." Miyako ran up to them, quickly followed by Mimi and Tentomon.
"You came for me!" Palmon cried out happily and hugged Mimi.
Koushiro smiled in appreciation as Miyako helped him to his feet. "Where are the others?"
"Well, none of them could really follow, so they're still at the temple we ported to." Miyako noticed that his limp was more pronounced than it was before. "Are you all right?"
Koushiro grimaced. "I'm fine. The thing just bruised my leg."
Miyako tossed his arm over her shoulder to help him walk.
They turned and looked as Holsmon crashed into some nearby trees. They backed away as Devidramon landed and approached them hungrily.
Palmon knocked Mimi to the ground as Devidramon's claw was about to scope her up. "Are you all right?"
Mimi brushed her scraped knee and grimaced. "We've got to stop that thing."
"Right. Palmon evolve!" A pillar of light formed briefly, and when it finished a two story cactus with boxing gloves stood there. "Togemon!"
Mimi blinked. "How could you evolve now and not before?"
"We'll deal with that after I teach big, black and ugly some manners. Prickly Bang Bang!" Needles shot out of Togemon's body.
Devidramon roared at her in anger.
Holsmon walked weakly out of the nearby trees. "Let's combine attacks."
"Right." Togemon nodded.
"Red Sun!"
"Prickly Bang Bang!"
Devidramon fell back from the hits crashing into the ground, unconscious.
Holsmon de-evolved to Hawkmon. A pink-ish red light streaking from him and into Miyako's pocket.
Miyako pulled out what looked to be a hand-held email terminal from that pocket. "Cool, free toy."
"I'd like to look at that later," Koushiro said.
Togemon de-evolved to Palmon. "I say we leave while sleeping beauty is getting his rest."
"Sounds good to me." Koushiro smiled and then looked over at the hawk digimon. "So, you're Miyako-kun's digimon?"
The bird nodded. "That's correct. I'm Hawkmon, and I'm pleased to meet you."
"I'm Koushiro and thanks for the rescue."
"No problem. It was the least I could do for Miyako-san after she released me from the Digimental of Aijou."
"You got the digimental of love?" Koushiro's eyes were wide.
"Yep." Miyako nodded. "You know how I love everyone."
Koushiro frowned. "Yeah. I do."
_________________
"Great, you made it!" Taichi cheered.
"No thanks to you." Koushiro glared.
"What's with them?" Mimi asked Miyako.
"Long story, but Taichi-san is kind of responsible for Koushiro-sempai's limp." Miyako replied.
"Oh." Mimi blinked. "That's not good."
Yamato stepped forward. "Well, none of us have been able to move that digimental thing. Perhaps one of you could."
Miyako looked at it questioningly. "Maybe they're both mine. I certainly do like learning about stuff."
Koushiro shrugged. "Can't hurt to try."
Miyako tried to lift it, but it didn't move. She applied more force, but nothing happened.
"I know I don't have a digimental digivice, but maybe it's mine." Koushiro walked up to it and gripped it firmly. His eyes widened as it began to glow.
Suddenly the digimental pulled free of his hand and lifted into the air. A yellow spiraling light rose from the pedestal, and then expanded. The light flashed, nearly blinding everyone. The Digimental of Chishiki was gone.
"What happened?" Taichi asked.
Koushiro looked dazed. "It went to its proper owner."
"Proper owner?"
Koushiro nodded and then shook his head. "The digimental went to Earth since that digimental didn't belong to us."
"Are you sure?" Sora questioned.
"Yeah." Koushiro scratched the back of his head. "But I don't know why."
"Well, I believe that's what happened." Hikari stepped forward. "Now that we finished this mission, perhaps we should go back before anything else happens."
"Good idea." Taichi nodded. "Koushiro, get the portal ready."
"You don't have to tell me what to do." Koushiro glared angrily.

Author's notes:
Why have I been focusing on Mimi, Koushiro and Miyako? Because they are among the most under-developed characters in the original series and I'm not yet willing to work on the changes I've made to Taichi and the others but I will do so soon.
I've been trying to use proper Japanese honors when characters refer to each other, though I know I made a few mistakes by forgetting them in a couple spots which makes Koushiro's lack of using one for Taichi less pronounced than it should be. Koushiro usually uses san, and sometimes kun, when addressing someone, but he's intentionally being 'rude' by not using one for Taichi. However, Taichi rarely uses any at all, so he is hardly bothered by it.
In the Japanese version the Chosen and the digimon usually know nothing about their opponent. The Digital Analyzer screens have the narrator listing their name and abilities, not the characters.
Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake!
"All right, Ni. This is one of the best places to get information," a man wearing a black suit and dark shades said.
The other man, also dressed in black, looked skeptical. "But, San, this is a convenience store. How can they possibly have any knowledge about this?"
"Well, for one thing, this store is located near the middle of a dimensional rift."
"Dimensional rift?" Ni blinked. "But, I thought we dealt with extraterrestrial life, not Cthlulu."
"That's our job," the girl at the cash register said.
Ni paled. "Oops. She over heard us. Are you going to flash her."
San shook his head.
Miyako laughed. "Wouldn't work anyway. I'm somehow immune to it." She pulled some papers from behind the counter. "Here's today's info. The story on page three of Tokyo Inquirer has already been dealt with."
Ni blinked. "She's one of us?"
"More like freelanced," San answered simply.
Ni then looked at the stack of papers. "How are you going to get any information out of the tabloids."
"Best researchers in the world... if they could keep straight to the facts and not try to explain anything."
The store's bell jingled and a girl entered with her cat.
"Hi, Hikari-chan!" Miyako waved. "How are things?"
"Great. Did they cover my story?" Hikari asked.
"Only the Inquirer got it. They got a good picture of Angewomon too."
Tailmon glanced around noticing who was there and knew them to not be of any concern. She jumped up to the counter. "Let me see."
"She's an alien?" Ni asked.
"She's a digimon from that other dimension." San crossed his arms. "I thought we'd agreed for you to be more discreet after that last major incident."
Hikari scowled. "We try to be, but if I didn't do something we would've had more problems than just a picture of Angewomon in the papers."
"Is she human?" Ni asked.
Hikari reached into her pocket and pulled out a form of identification not usually given to humans.
Ni looked at it. "First creatures from other planets, then tabloid research, other dimensional beings, and now mutants. I thought I was living in an X-Files world, not X-Men."
Hikari took the ID back. "I'm not a mutant, I just have special powers."
"Same difference." Ni rubbed his head.
"What's with him?" Miyako asked.
San glanced over. "He's new to the MIB and his world view is getting shattered."
Miyako nodded. "Word of advice, don't bother making a new one-- it'll be shattered too."
Ni nearly freaked when chibi-Taichi and chibi-Sora walked into the room.
"Finally, an omake that wasn't dark," chibi-Taichi commented.
"He might disagree." Chibi-Sora thumbed Ni.
Chibi-Taichi ignored her. "Anyway, this is one of the scenes Archive wanted to write if he did a MIB-Digimon crossover. Fortunately Wanderer D is writing a really good one, so Archive doesn't feel the need to write his."
"I just have one question." Chibi-Sora folded her arms. "Aren't we the stars of Digital War? My lines shouldn't double for being in the omake."
"I'm sure he's just waiting to do something grand for us," Chibi-Taichi assured her. "But until then. Be seeing you!"
Chibi-Taichi and chibi-Sora waved.
"I want out," Ni whined.
"You know, I like you a lot better this way, Niichan." Hikari giggled.
Chibi-Taichi huffed.

Holsmon de-evolved to Hawkmon. A pink-ish red light streaking from him and into Miyako's pocket.
Miyako pulled out what looked to be a hand-held email terminal from that pocket. "Cool, free toy."
"I'd like to look at that later," Koushiro said.
Togemon de-evolved to Palmon. "I say we leave while sleeping beauty is getting his rest."
"Sounds good to me." Koushiro smiled and then looked over at the hawk digimon. "So, you're Miyako-kun's digimon?"
The bird nodded. "That's correct. I'm Hawkmon, and I'm pleased to meet you."
"I'm Koushiro and thanks for the rescue."
"No problem. It was the least I could do for Miyako-san after she released me from the Digimental of Aijou."
"You got the digimental of love?" Koushiro's eyes were wide.
"Yep." Miyako nodded. "You know how I love everyone."
Koushiro frowned. "Yeah. I do."

"Great, you made it!" Taichi cheered.
"No thanks to you." Koushiro glared.
"What's with them?" Mimi asked Miyako.
"Long story, but Taichi-san is kind of responsible for Koushiro-sempai's limp." Miyako replied.
"Oh." Mimi blinked. "That's not good."
Yamato stepped forward. "Well, none of us have been able to move that digimental thing. Perhaps one of you could."
Miyako looked at it questioningly. "Maybe they're both mine. I certainly do like learning about stuff."
Koushiro shrugged. "Can't hurt to try."
Miyako tried to lift it, but it didn't move. She applied more force, but nothing happened.
"I know I don't have a digimental digivice, but maybe it's mine." Koushiro walked up to it and gripped it firmly. His eyes widened as it began to glow.
Suddenly the digimental pulled free of his hand and lifted into the air. A yellow spiraling light rose from the pedestal, and then expanded. The light flashed, nearly blinding everyone. The Digimental of Chishiki was gone.
"What happened?" Taichi asked.
Koushiro looked dazed. "It went to its proper owner."
"Proper owner?"
Koushiro nodded and then shook his head. "The digimental went to Earth since that digimental didn't belong to us."
"Are you sure?" Sora questioned.
"Yeah." Koushiro scratched the back of his head. "But I don't know why."
"Well, I believe that's what happened." Hikari stepped forward. "Now that we finished this mission, perhaps we should go back before anything else happens."
"Good idea." Taichi nodded. "Koushiro, get the portal ready."
"You don't have to tell me what to do." Koushiro glared angrily.

Author's notes:
Why have I been focusing on Mimi, Koushiro and Miyako? Because they are among the most under-developed characters in the original series and I'm not yet willing to work on the changes I've made to Taichi and the others but I will do so soon.
I've been trying to use proper Japanese honors when characters refer to each other, though I know I made a few mistakes by forgetting them in a couple spots which makes Koushiro's lack of using one for Taichi less pronounced than it should be. Koushiro usually uses san, and sometimes kun, when addressing someone, but he's intentionally being 'rude' by not using one for Taichi. However, Taichi rarely uses any at all, so he is hardly bothered by it.
In the Japanese version the Chosen and the digimon usually know nothing about their opponent. The Digital Analyzer screens have the narrator listing their name and abilities, not the characters.
Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake! Omake!
"All right, Ni. This is one of the best places to get information," a man wearing a black suit and dark shades said.
The other man, also dressed in black, looked skeptical. "But, San, this is a convenience store. How can they possibly have any knowledge about this?"
"Well, for one thing, this store is located near the middle of a dimensional rift."
"Dimensional rift?" Ni blinked. "But, I thought we dealt with extraterrestrial life, not Cthlulu."
"That's our job," the girl at the cash register said.
Ni paled. "Oops. She over heard us. Are you going to flash her."
San shook his head.
Miyako laughed. "Wouldn't work anyway. I'm somehow immune to it." She pulled some papers from behind the counter. "Here's today's info. The story on page three of Tokyo Inquirer has already been dealt with."
Ni blinked. "She's one of us?"
"More like freelanced," San answered simply.
Ni then looked at the stack of papers. "How are you going to get any information out of the tabloids."
"Best researchers in the world... if they could keep straight to the facts and not try to explain anything."
The store's bell jingled and a girl entered with her cat.
"Hi, Hikari-chan!" Miyako waved. "How are things?"
"Great. Did they cover my story?" Hikari asked.
"Only the Inquirer got it. They got a good picture of Angewomon too."
Tailmon glanced around noticing who was there and knew them to not be of any concern. She jumped up to the counter. "Let me see."
"She's an alien?" Ni asked.
"She's a digimon from that other dimension." San crossed his arms. "I thought we'd agreed for you to be more discreet after that last major incident."
Hikari scowled. "We try to be, but if I didn't do something we would've had more problems than just a picture of Angewomon in the papers."
"Is she human?" Ni asked.
Hikari reached into her pocket and pulled out a form of identification not usually given to humans.
Ni looked at it. "First creatures from other planets, then tabloid research, other dimensional beings, and now mutants. I thought I was living in an X-Files world, not X-Men."
Hikari took the ID back. "I'm not a mutant, I just have special powers."
"Same difference." Ni rubbed his head.
"What's with him?" Miyako asked.
San glanced over. "He's new to the MIB and his world view is getting shattered."
Miyako nodded. "Word of advice, don't bother making a new one-- it'll be shattered too."
Ni nearly freaked when chibi-Taichi and chibi-Sora walked into the room.
"Finally, an omake that wasn't dark," chibi-Taichi commented.
"He might disagree." Chibi-Sora thumbed Ni.
Chibi-Taichi ignored her. "Anyway, this is one of the scenes Archive wanted to write if he did a MIB-Digimon crossover. Fortunately Wanderer D is writing a really good one, so Archive doesn't feel the need to write his."
"I just have one question." Chibi-Sora folded her arms. "Aren't we the stars of Digital War? My lines shouldn't double for being in the omake."
"I'm sure he's just waiting to do something grand for us," Chibi-Taichi assured her. "But until then. Be seeing you!"
Chibi-Taichi and chibi-Sora waved.
"I want out," Ni whined.
"You know, I like you a lot better this way, Niichan." Hikari giggled.
Chibi-Taichi huffed.
