Madison Grande Hotel
Day 3, 9:12
Goku threw another volley of punches at Cell, none of them connecting. Jesus, Goku thought, slow down! Cell was teleporting randomly around the landscape, almost as if he were trying to throw him off. Goku remained still and checked around him.
Gohan, Trunks, and Vegeta waited on a nearby cliff.
"Should we join in?" Trunks asked.
"Nah. Let Kakarot get killed by himself." Vegeta laughed.
Goku turned and was immediately nailed in the back of the head and sent flying into a nearby mountain, reducing it to rubble. Rocks flew as Goku cast an aura and everything around him was expelled from his vincinity.
Cell laughed. "Goku! Give up this vain crusade now, and save yourself!"
Cell shot straight into the air and waited above the cloud line for a short second.
"What's he..."
Cell held his hands close in that telltale manner.
"Kaaameee...."
"No!!" Vegeta gasped. "He would never use it that high up! He could destroy the Earth!!"
Goku stanced himself to brace the coming Kamehameha.
"Haaaaameeeeee..."
Goku flung his hands forward to deflect the blast....
"HHAAAA!!!
And Goku was reduced to giblets.
Trunks laughed. "Ouch."
Goku shot out of bed in a cold sweat.
He stood and looked around for a second until breathing again.
Goku grinned. "Note to self: Kamehameha, then teleport right next to Cell."

Duo had regained control of the Deathscythe, managing to slip behind police lines at the intersection undetected. He kept the mobile suit well above cloud cover while returning to Central Park to avoid radio contact.
"I wonder where the Wing Zero is at this point." he said, reluctant as to the safety of the other mobile suit. The main Gundam mobile suit was capable of a lot of damage if left unchecked for a long period of time.
He dipped back below cloud cover to see the Wing Zero standing again in the clearing of Central Park.
"Wing Zero? Identify yourself."
"Heero here. Everything's clear."
The Deathscythe touched down. "Did you have to regain control of it?"
"Yeah. Some funny-suited guy with a weird hairdo had control of the Wing, but I hijacked it."
Keyvan : Weird hairdo? I wouldn't talk.
"Wait a second," Duo said. "I'm getting another reading."
"What? Did a colony track us?"
"No. It's just a personnel reading. A small one, at that."
Ultimanium walked into the clearing.
"Ah, yes.. the Gundams.. I've been looking for you."
"Wha..."
Ultimanium was dwarfed by the humungous mobile suits towering over him. "I am Ultimanium."
"It's Ultimanium!" Duo winced.
"Ultimanium! What do you want from us?" Heero demanded.
Keyvan : And with that, Ultimanium gave the Gundam pilots their information about the tests... but as for theirs in particular...
Ultimanium grinned. "Stand the Gundams on top of the Chrysler Building and support them there for 12 hours."
"What?! You brought us all the way out here for THAT?!" Duo yelled.
Ultimanium was trying to keep their interest. "Do it, and you'll get some... "enhancements" for your Gundams. You're going to need them to survive the fight."
"What do we do, Heero?" Duo said.
"It's said that only a few people on Earth still have salvaged mobile suit parts," Heero explained. "if so, then Ultimanium should have some fairly high quality weapons and armor."
Duo grit his teeth. "Well, I guess I'm stuck here, then. When do we start?"
Ultimanium teleported both Gundams to the top of the Chrysler Building. "Right now." He laughed.
Before both Gundams could fall, the supported their feet on the sides of the terraced rooftop and grabbed onto the lightning rod.
Ultimanium was gone. All that could be heard was the wind whistling through the Gundams' joints. They were going to be there for a while.
"Know any good jokes?" Duo asked.
********
Squall opened one eye.
Keyvan : Is this a new fad or something? Or do people get murdered as soon as they wake up in this world and this is the one way people can prevent it, to survey their bedrooms? Sheesh...
He righted himself on the park bench. Squall had a pounding headache, and he had just noticed it all in one big surge.
He looked around. No longer was he in the apartment, but in Central Park. Cloud laid at his feet.
"Stupid dum-dum he..."
In his head, both Cloud and Zidane screamed at him. "HARDCORE!"
"Stupid shit. No one beats me over the head and gets away with it."
A well placed boot to Cloud's head sent him rolling.
He looked around. Zidane was nowhere to be seen. "Squaaaaall!!!"
He fired a look to the street across the clearing. Zidane ran past. Followed by a swarm of pedestrians.
A vengeful Squall joined the chase.
********
Davis lied on his bed and watched the celing. Get rid of the love triangles? How am I supposed to do that?
Veemon paced in the corner. The PSone sat inactive on a stool at the foot of the bed.
Love triangles, love triangles! Veemon thought. He had a reasonable idea of who liked who, but the second individual for each triangle evaded him. Lessee... Tai likes Sora... Sora likes Tai... TK likes Kari, Davis likes Kari, Kari likes TK.
Then it hit him.
Veemon turned to Davis for the first time in the past 4 hours. "Hey, what's Ken doing here, anyways?"
"Oh, he said he wanted to come to New York for once.. see the sights... get some souveniors."
"No he doesn't." Veemon giggled. "He likes Sora."
"You sure about that?" Davis sighed. This is getting nowhere.
"That makes for two seperate love triangles," Veemon said. "Ultimanium said to get rid of ALL the love triangles here, not just one. Ken had to be a part of one somewhere, and since your's was already complete..."
Davis grinned. "Veemon, you're a genius. But still, if that's the case, how are we supposed to take care of Ken?"
Lightbulb. "I'll be back in a minute." Davis said. He went out to the kitchen.
Chatter continued in the guest bedroom.
"I don't know how we all wound up here," Tai said, "but Ken, what's your purpose?"
Ken, inactive for most of the conversation so far, spoke up. "I wanted to come to New York for once.... see the sights.... get some souveniors."
He glanced over to Sora, sitting next to him in the circle.
"What?" Sora whined.
"...nothing." Ken mumbled. Check her off, Ken. Do it! Do it now!
The image of Sora sunbathing still remained in Ken's mind. Sicko.
"I don't know. ... it's just like I had this impulse to come here, like some revelation was going to be made, and I had to be there to witness it." Kari stated.
"Funny... me too." TK admitted.
Gatomon sat against the wall in the corner with the other Digimon. Something's wrong here. TK's totally messing up when talking to Kari.
Patamon landed next to Gatomon. "What's with TK?"
"Something's bothering TK," Gatomon said. "I can feel it too."
********
"Izzy! Am I glad to talk to you!"
Izumi twisted the phone cord on his finger. "What's going on over there?"
"Izzy, I need you to do a favor for me." Davis said impatiently.
"Yeah, sure," Izumi agreed. "What?"
"Alright... when you get off the phone, I want you to go on the net and check the schedule of the airport in Tokyo and check for when the next flight leaves for New York."
"Yeah, I can do that. Why do you.."
"I'm not done," David continued. "If you can find a flight that leaves within two hours, I want you to find Yolei and pay for her flight."
"What?!" Izumi yelled. "I'm not paying for that!"
"Urrrgghh!! Listen to me! I'll pay you full back when I get home! This is an emergency!"
Davis threw down the receiver and marched back to the bedroom.
Veemon was reaching for the PS power button when Davis walked in. He put his arms behind his back. "Well? Did you get a hold of Izzy?"
Davis fell back on the bed. "Yeah. If everything goes right, Yolei should show up in about 8 hours. Veemon, we're going downtown. I'm going to try to find Goku and see if Ultimanium stopped by their hotel."
Davis waved into the open guest room as he left with Veemon. "Me and Veemon are going downtown. We'll be back in about an hour."
"Don't let him molest you, Veemon!" TK yelled as they left. Everyone but Kari laughed.
Kari gave TK a worried look. Something was wrong with him, and she knew it.
