Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 4 - How to Build an Army ❯ Chapter 2
Chapter 2
"So what's up Kari?" Yolei asked. They had waited until the next afternoon, because Kovin had fallen asleep with Kelryn the night before. The other five had managed to half-walk them back to their apartment, and their sleeping son, Azuma. Kari and Yolei spent the night to watch the boy and let his parents sleep. When the afternoon came, the girls let Ken, TK and Allura in when they came over. Kovin and Kelryn had done a lot for their friends in the past year, and they decided to repay them a bit. The five humans and seven digimon were cleaning the apartment, and keeping Azuma fed, clean and entertained. At this point he was sitting in the middle of the floor playing patty-cake with Patamon. He used to play with Demireumon, but she accidentally bore her claws when he made some screaming sound. Kovin and Kelryn were up, and had some breakfast. They thanked their friends many Times for allowing them eighteen hours of sleep.
"Well, it seems we may have another chapter of the Guardians." Kari said.
"Great." Said TK. "Where are they?"
"In North America, southern Canada. It's almost at that place in Canada we went before, remember?"
"So Zeta sent you this email?" Ken asked.
"Yeah, they're in New York State so they're pretty close."
"But what makes this group so special, that they need one of us there right now?" Kovin asked.
"Listen to the names of the rookies in this group. Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Gomamon, Tentomon, Veemon, and Armadillomon." Kari said, looking up at the slack jaws in front of her.
"OK, we always knew those digimon would regenerate, but why all together like that?" Kelryn said around a cup of coffee. She was still a little groggy, but her and Kovin had regained their civility.
"Precisely the question we're being asked to answer." Said Ken. Yolei turned to Ozlimon.
"You ready for a trip to Canada?" He looked worried.
"As long as we take a plane instead of me." He said.
"Why? Oh yeah, defence force fighter jets. Sorry about that."
"So, Kelryn and I go to America to see them. I'd like for one other person to come if they could." Kovin said. "TK and Kari are out, you two have the strongest digimon under ours. Ken might be a bit scary to younger kids, and Allura doesn't get along well with kids."
"Do you know what that little horror...?" Allura started, trying to defend herself pointing at Azuma, who was now sleeping with his head on Ozlimon's feathers.
"Hey, he's five months old." Yolei said.
"So that means you come with us, Yolei." Kelryn said.
"What?!? No!" Yolei hated leaving her house, let alone the continent, and she never tried to hide it.

Kovin stood on the airport tarmac, watching the private plane they'd use taxi into position. He was wearing a long brown trench-coat to hide his pair of katanas. Kelryn and Yolei came up behind him, both with way to much baggage.
"Ladies, we are going for a week, not a year." He said.
"Hey," said Yolei. "A lady never knows what she'll need."
"That explains Kelryn, but as a raging nympho how come you don't have less stuff?" Yolei made to hit Kovin, but the steward showed up to load her stuff, and she was distracted. "Kelryn, I've also asked Izzy to join us. He knows quite a bit about this stuff technically, and he could probably explain it to the new guys better."
"'Kay. Oh shit! I forgot to give Kari something for Azuma!" Kelryn made to walk off to a phone. Kovin caught her by the shoulders with both hands.
"Kelryn, the plane is about to leave. If that plane leaves and you're not on it, you'll regret it. Definitely today and definitely tomorrow because we can't get another for like a month." Kovin held her with the slightly foggy windless night in the background, and his brown trench coat accenting it.
The four boarded the plane and took off with Izzy piloting, and Kovin navigating. The three digimon slept the trip away in the rear cabin, while Yolei and Kelryn killed Time in the foreword cabin playing cards. They were off to see how seven digidestined were formed in one place, with the slain Guardian digimon of the past.
