Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 7 - Journey Through the Darkness ❯ Chapter 1

Book 3 - Title

The world in complete chaos. The watchers have little idea what is happening and no idea of how to combat it. The rouge watchers and digidestined are wreaking havoc running unchecked looting cities and forcing the normal digidestined population to join them with lethal alternatives. The Guardians are loosing and increasing number of fights, and as they do their will grows weaker and the enemy gets more D-Power.

Episode 7 - Journey through the Darkness

With the Alpha Guardians disbanded and the Zetas trying to enforce a loose command, the former Alpha members have gone their separate ways, each of the four groups looking for something different. Peace, strength, information, and unity.

Chapter 1

Ken walked through the rough grass of the European park quickly with two cans of soda. He found Yolei sitting with her back against a tree waiting for him. "Here. I think they were expensive I forget how much this country's money is worth to us," he said.

"Great, I'm dying of thirst," Yolei said. They had considered speaking in French for the benefit of anyone from the Watchers who was following them, but it was hard to hide their Japanese heritage so they continued chatting in their own language.

"I can't believe they sent us to get information on the Gammas. We'll have to be careful that Owen or the rest don't see us. They'd recognise us instantly." Ken was speaking with the can near his lips to prevent anyone from reading them.

"A brand new set of watchers and we get to observe the Guardians! How about that?" Yolei said.

"Damn this stuff is horrible. Think they'll get the message?" Ken asked.

"They will," Yolei assured him. He set his drink down between them and leaned back pretending to relax. Yolei brought her purse to her left side between them and appeared to be looking for something. She came out with a mirror. "It's all good," she said.

"Well good for that," Ken said standing. "Let's go." He picked up both cans and tossed them in the garbage. They made their way back to where their car was parked and drove off. Two pairs of eyes elsewhere in the park left in a distance pursuit of them. No human would have ever seen the second two come, go or have been there. But Hawkmon isn't human. His eyes were better than anyone's and most digimon's so he was able to tell when everything was safe. He fluttered down from the tree he was in and nosed around the garbage making it look casual. He toppled the can and retrieved the two cans Ken and Yolei were drinking from and holding them in his talons flew back into he tree.

"Are you sure this is them?" Wormmon asked.

"Definitely my friend." The bird replied. Wormmon worked at the cans for a bit and managed to pull them both apart. Inside the second they found a small scrap of paper. "What's it say?" Wormmon had some trouble unrolling it but managed to.

"It says they're going to Germany to observe the Gamma group. We're supposed to stay out of sight but nearby all the time if we can. They'll use the digivices to contact us when they're ready for us."

"So that's it then? We just sit and watch and wait?" Hawkmon asked.

"Yep."

Ken and Yolei were having some trouble in their masquerade. They had to watch the Gamma Guardians without being seen by them. Most watchers would be able to get in close, like in a crowd or walk past them to get detailed information. They couldn't do that as they'd be recognised. But they also had to make it look like they were doing their job, while giving enough information without giving too much.

They ended up in a parking lot sitting in their car watching the seven have lunch across the street. "I'm hungry." Yolei said, pouting.

"Is watching seven people eat cheeseburgers and pizza making you a bit jealous?" Ken asked, mocking. His own stomach rumbled giving him away. "OK, care to join me for a hot dog?"

"I want pizza."

"Well we can't go in that place, but we can go in to the hot dog stand over there." The sun was out and shining brightly, but it wasn't hot. The city wasn't dry and dusty like cities can be, rather the air was clear, crisp and clean. Yolei got two hot dogs and Ken got one of those big sausages. When they got back to the car they found one of Hawkmon's feathers. Yolei held it and looked around. "Where'd that come from?" Ken asked.

"He's just letting us know that they're around," she said. Yolei kissed the feather in full view of anyone who would be looking, seeming like it was for good luck. And put the small brown feather in her pocket. "Back to work."
