Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 7 - Journey Through the Darkness ❯ Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Ken found himself in a dark room with nothing but a bare bulb ten metres above him to light the place. He had been shot at, but they were just warning shots. One clipped the radio pouch on his side and he was cut off from Yolei just before he could answer her frantic calls. Two men caught him and easily dragged him through the place's many corridors to this room. When they did catch him one issued a command to his radio and the place became daylight. Ever light came on and dozens of these uniformed goons were everywhere. Ken's only hope was to somehow break out before they realised he was working for them, let alone find out he was digidestined. They dragged him down two flights of stairs and tossed him in here. He was preparing to rush the door when he heard it opening, but stopped when Yolei was tossed in with him.

"Kyle!" She said, still using their alias names.

"Blake," he replied and sat back down. "Looks like we're to be here for a while."

"I thought you were killed."

"No, but the radio took one hell of a hit." They only had to wait for a few minutes before the door opened and the two of them together were brought to an interrogation room. They were told to sit together at on end of the metal table. A man in a suit followed them in and sat facing them at the other end of the table. They both noticed the tattoo of the watcher insignia on his left wrist, so it was obvious whom he worked for.

"Care to explain what you two were doing?" He asked.

"I was just trying to get some information for my surveillance on the Gamma Guardians. It was faster than going through the regular channels, although breaking a few rules," Ken said, keeping up his watcher disguise. "Blake here was just helping. You don't want her."

"Shut up, Ken," the man said. "We also know what Yolei was doing." Now they felt screwed. He knew their real names and probably knew they were digidestined. "We know why you were in our database, and we know all about the Alpha split. What you may not know about is a problem we are having."

"You guys having a problem?" Yolei asked.

"Yes. A dissident faction of the watchers has broken away from us to use digimon in rather lethal experiments. We have tried to keep our prime directive of non-interference, but times have changed, and we feel we must use this organisation's strength to bring a peaceful end to this war. We have tried recruiting one digidestined and it is working out wonderfully. We need the help of a few more, if only to lead an attack on the dissident watcher headquarters."

"Why don't you just use your tonnes of military goons out there?" Ken asked.

"Because our watcher counterparts are in control of almost the entire rouge digidestined population. They don't have many surrounded their HQ, but we still need digimon to lead the attack."

"We'll need to contact ours," Yolei said. He pushed a button on the keypad embedded in the table.

"No need," he said. At that moment the door open and two cat carriers were brought in, one holding Wormmon, the other Hawkmon. Ken and Yolei ran to them and let them out.

"Kovin and Kelryn have stronger digimon than us, so why not them?" Ken asked.

"Have you noticed that they're a bit impulsive?" He asked.

"Yeah," said Yolei. "But they always go the job done."

"True, they did. But we need someone with a cooler head."

"By the way, who are you?" Ken asked.

"My name is Austin and I am the current person in charge of the watchers," he said. Ken nodded and motioned for Yolei and the two digimon to talk to him privately. They huddled and conversed quietly, someone pointing something out, someone correcting another and then came back.

"This involves attacking a place to shut it down, not hurt people right?" Ken asked.

"That's right. A primitive strike, we're just getting our own data and materials back."

"As long as that's all that happens, and we call the shots, we're in," Ken said.
