Chapter 8

Nolan entered Kelryn's room yet again. She looked up at him.

"Aren't you going to scream?" He asked. She responded by actually lying down. Giving up before any fighting started. Initially Nolan smiled and started to move towards her, but he stopped. There was nothing sporting about this. He shook his head in disgust and left. When the door was closed he turned to his guard. "No one goes in there except to feed her until further notice. He looked mad.

"There's going to be a few people who aren't happy about that." Nolan twisted around in lightning speed and brought his knee right into the stomach of the younger boy.

"Then tell them to come see me if they're not happy about it." Nolan left the boy gasping in pain and descended the stairs to the stone floor. They were in a massive warehouse. The main room was used to house Nolan's soldiers. But there were also several smaller rooms that he, Michelle and his other three generals used for their complex. Nolan entered the room they had been using as a dinning room, and sat with the others. "That girl is fucked up. I think she's lost her mind."

"Well what did you expect? You people raped her day and night; you don't feed her enough, and keep her locked up there. She thinks everyone she loves is dead." Michelle wasn't happy about the way Kelryn was being treated.

"Do you think I'm wrong? I'm keeping her to draw Kovin out. I'm going to kill him. And I figure while she's here, she might as well be of some use." Nolan said.

"I was hoping you wouldn't be using her like that. I wanted a chance to screw with her. She'd pissed me off too." Michelle asked.

"Go ahead. Knock yourself out, but you may be disappointed." Nolan waved her off and turned his attention to the two pizza boxes that were being delivered. Michelle was out the door and up the stairs quick.

"Hey, Nolan says no one is allowed in here." The guard said, who had regained his composure.

"Get out of the way, you want me to tell Nolan you weren't allowing me in?" He cowered away and allowed her to enter. Kelryn looked up, and was slightly surprised at the gender of the person she saw before her. "Hello Kelryn. How are you feeling?" Kelryn turned away from her in disgust. "Oh don't be that way. Remember when we separated about a year ago? That was a fun time we had. We could have had more but oh no! You had to get going. Just couldn't see who was getting hurt. You were just thinking of yourself. You ever considered that others could get hurt too?" That was it. Kelryn snapped. She couldn't stand the irony of this conversation. She snapped her legs up and grabbed Michelle's throat. Kelryn picked Michelle up bodily and threw her at the wall. She hit the floor with a thud.

"Are you really telling me to give you any compassion?!" Kelryn screamed. Before Michelle could respond verbally or physically, Kelryn brought Michelle to her feet again. She threw Michelle out of her little prison cell and over the edge of the catwalk, where she plummeted to the ground, landing on some empty cardboard boxes. Several other people ran out to see Michelle on the floor, including Nolan.

"Are you going to let her get away with that?" Michelle screamed at Nolan. He looked up at Kelryn, who went back into her prison cell, which was instantly locked by the dumbstruck guard. He looked back down at Michelle.

"You probably deserved it." He said, and went back to his dinner, leaving Michelle on the floor with everyone laughing at her.

Six humans, and six digimon crowded around the table in Kovin's apartment. They had close up maps of Tokyo, they had old war strategies, they had dozens of drawings of possible maneuvers, and they had Watcher profiles of several of the digimon and Digidestined they were up against.

The Watcher's were a group of normal humans, who recorded and observed everything the Digidestined humans did. It was a very unnerving thing to see the level of detail in one's own file. The Watcher's had a strict code of non-interference, and were only permitted to observe, not interact. But they had a few sympathizers in the group, and one even risked his own life to get them a copy of this information.

"I'm going to turn those guys into kitty litter!" Gatomon said, barring her claws.

"Save it, Gatomon. You'll need all your energy later." Kari scratched the cat's head to calm her down.

"So TK? What do you think?" Kovin asked. They were the only two that knew that area.

"It would make a perfect base. Almost no one knows its there, it's right in the middle of town, and it fits into Kari and Yolei's description of the place." TK said with Patamon on his head.

"What are you guys talking about?" Ken asked.

"Well, Ken. There's a large pier there, the ones they used to use before they built the ship port over here." Kovin indicated the city's newer industrial park. "Only one is left, and it has a few warehouses on it. It's big enough to house them and all they need." All eyes turned to the TV when they saw a news report come on.

"Reports of monster attacks all over the city are no longer being taken lightly, as over ninety percent of all citizens claim to have seen several large creatures of every size and variety fighting all over the city. There have also been numerous killings in the areas of these monster sightings and the government has almost completed its evacuation of the greater Tokyo area."

"That will be good." Kari said. The others looked at her. "Only us and Nolan in the city. No one else has to get hurt." The others nodded in agreement.

Demireumon was in the bedroom, going through some of Kelryn's things. There wasn't much, Kelryn didn't have much from her past. But the small black cat eventually found what she was looking for. In her backpack, she found some Canadian and Japanese money, some clothes, extra throwing stars, and her goal. Demireumon pulled out an old white cloth and unwrapped it. It was a gun. More specifically, it was the gun Kovin gave to Kelryn when he was teaching her to shoot, and the one she shot him with. The cat loaded the gun with the bullets in the cloth, and put it in a human sized waist pouch, which made a perfect digimon sized backpack. She came out of the bedroom and joined the rest of her friends.

"Where have you been?" Yolei asked.

"Just had to check something." Demireumon answered.

"Something important, I hope?"

"Always."

"Well ladies," Kovin said, "if you're done I'd like to get going. The army should almost be done. I'd like to beat Nolan down before he decides to move again."

"Hold it!" Demireumon said. She ran over to Kovin's computer and get on the Internet.

"Do we really have time for this?" Allura asked.

"Just a sec." She said. She loaded her email, and quickly checked it. Then turned off the machine and jumped down to follow them.

"Was it really necessary to check that right now?" Kovin asked.

"Yes, it was." Demireumon said. Kovin nodded at her, trusting her to have her priorities strait. Whatever she was doing was for the good of Kelryn, and them all. The filed up the stairwell to the roof, and looked around at the city, as the sun was starting to light the city for day. There were no cars, no traffic of any kind. Military vehicles could be seen on the outskirts, and a plane or two overhead, but there was no life left in the city.

"Alright everybody, we all know what we're doing. We don't leave with out her. If we can't get her, we die trying. And we take as many of them down as we can. It's up to the six of us to stop this. And we will stop this." Kovin finished his speech and snapped the ceremonial goggles on. "Guardians, attack!"

Gatomon digivolve to ... Angewomon

Hawkmon digivolve to ... Aquilamon

Palmon digivolve to ... Togemon digivolve to ... Lillymon

Wormmon digivolve to ... Stingmon digivolve to ... Paildramon

Patamon digivolve to ... Angemon digivolve to ... Magnaangemon

Ozlimon warp-digivolve to ... Aeromon

Six of the seven digimon were in their highest forms. All were capable of flight, and most could carry their humans, but all the humans and Demireumon rode on Aeromon. They took to the sky, to come back successful or not to come back at all.
