Post by Dante on Jan 1, 2016 19:40:11 GMT
The three of them watch the ballgame. It's not a very exciting game, more of a pitcher's duel. "Dante, why aren't they hitting any home runs?" "Because these guys stink! Come on, you trade away lots of great talent, and now these overpaid blockheads can't even get a hit!" "Blame the new manager. He's made all kinds of crazy deals since he took over." Another batter strikes out to end the inning. "That's it, I'm gonna grab more food." Junichi gets up and heads to the concession stand. While walking there, a large man in a trench coat sneaks up behind him and grabs him. He drags Junichi around the corner and into a secluded spot. Another man is waiting there. "That's him! He's the street punk that's been causing all these problems." The man hits Junichi in the head with a right hook.
Dante starts to wonder what's taking Junichi so long. "Where did he run off to?" Dante tucks Leafmon inside his jacket and gets up to search for Junichi. He sees a man in a trench coat out of the corner of his eye, and takes a closer look. Dante goes around the corner and sees two men attacking Junichi. "Hey! What are you doing that for?" "Damn, he's seen our faces. Take him down!" One of the men pulls out a digivice and summons a Gazimon. Leafmon jumps out of Dante's jacket and digivolves to Minomon, then to Wormmon. "This is supposed to be a day of fun, but since you idiots here went and ruined that, I'll just have to have fun kicking your butts! Sticky Net!" Wormmon shoots a sticky net at the face of the man holding onto Junichi. He lets go and tries to get the web off his face. Gazimon runs up to Wormmon and strikes with a claw attack. "Focus, little buddy!" "Don't worry, I'm taking Gazimon down!"
Junichi runs over and hides behind Dante. "Hey, I don't know what's going on. I didn't do anything!" "You've been interfering with our gang for long enough. It's time to pay!" Gazimon charges forward, but Wormmon dodges out of the way, and shoots a silk thread at Gazimon. Wormmon wraps the thread around Gazimon trying to tie them up. "Way to go Wormmon, show these goons who's boss!" Gazimon is bound by Wormmon's thread. "All I wanted was one day of fun, and you fools had to ruin it!"

Dante just wanted a day of fun with Wormmon and Junichi, but sometimes even the best laid plans end in disaster. Wormmon shoots a silk thread at Gazimon, knocking them down. Suddenly the group hears a deep voice in the distance. "Alright, that's enough!" A Terriermon with an evil goatee comes walking out of the shadows. "What's a bunny gotta do to get some decent henchmen around here?!" Dante looks on in shock. He's never seen a Terriermon with a goatee before. "Check it out, Wormmon! He's so tinny, but he sounds like an adult." "Hey! Watch your mouth when you're talking to me! I'm the head honcho around here, so you better listen up! That punk has been meddling with my business and I want him taken down. I'll even pay you handsomely." Terriermon grabs a large briefcase and shows Dante the money inside. "You can't bribe us! Why don't you go back to the petting zoo?!" "That's a lot of money. I'm sure you won't have a problem doing me this little favor." Junichi backs up. "Hey, come on. We can still talk about this."
Dante would never hurt a friend for money. Junichi was annoying, and may even deserve a beating, but there was no way Dante was letting this Terriermon call the shots. "Wormmon! Let's get sticky!" Dante grabs the briefcase from Terriermon. Wormmon fires a sticky net at Terriermon, getting him stuck in the web. "You jerk! I'll make you pay!" "If you can't take the heat, get out of the microwave!" Dante tosses the briefcase to Wormmon, who catches it by the handle in its mouth. Wormmon crawls up the wall and up the outside of the ballpark. "Way to go, Wormmon! Take that cash!" Terriermon's goons charge at Dante and Junichi. Dante kicks one of them in the ribs before they take off running. "Just what did you do to make them so mad?" "Just intercepted some deliveries. No big deal." "Damn it, Junichi! You're going to get yourself killed." Terriermon breaks free from the net. "After them!"

Dante and Junichi run away from Terriermon's goons. They run through the ball park dodging by people walking. They reach a dead end, and the goons are closing in. Dante looks over the ledge. "It's not that far of a jump." Dante climbs over the railing and climbs down to a lower ledge. "What are you thinking? You're gonna get us killed!" Junichi climbs over and reaches the lower ledge. Dante looks at the road down below. Wormmon comes crawling down from the roof of the ballpark and goes to the ledge the boys were just at. The goons show up. "There they are. Get the money!" Wormmon drops the briefcase full of cash, and Dante catches it. Wormmon fires a sticky net at the ground. The goons run forward and get tripped up by the net. Wormmon lowers down to the others using a silk thread.
Dante tries to think of a way to get to the road. "It's not much farther." "Are you kidding? There's no way we are gonna make a jump like that. It's at least 2 stories." Dante thinks of an unconventional idea. "Wormmon, make a big web right here." Wormmon makes a sloppy looking spider web. Dante detaches the top two corners of the web and it folds over, halfway to the ground. "Come on, we can climb down now." Dante and Junichi climb down the web. Wormmon is sitting on Dante's back with the briefcase. They get down to the bottom of the web and drop down. "Quick, we have to get to the car!" Dante and Junichi run back to the car and take off.
Terriermon meets up with his goons in a luxury suite at the ballpark. "What do you mean they got away?! And they took the money! Lousy punks. I'm gonna feed them to the Seadramon!" The goons beg for Terriermon's forgiveness. "Please, boss! Give us another chance." Terriermon hits them on the head with a paper fan. "Ah, good help is so hard to find these days." Terriermon walks over to the table and grabs a cigar. They pick up a cellphone and make a call. "This is the boss. I need you to take care of a very special assignment. Mwah ha ha ha haha ahaha ha ha!"

Dante, Wormmon, and Junichi are driving away from the baseball park. "So, what have you gotten yourself into this time?" "Well, uh. It's a long story. Where are we going?" Wormmon jumps up and down. "I'm hungry! Let's get some food right now!" "Great idea. I know a place." Dante gives Junichi directions to the Super Happy Maid Café. Wormmon hides inside Dante's jacket. They park the car and enter the café. A maid greets them. "Welcome, Masters. Right this way." Dante and Junichi follow the maid to a private booth. "Is there anything I can get you to drink?" "I'll have a chocolate milkshake." Wormmon kicks Dante in the ribs. "Ow! Make that two chocolate milkshakes, and a large coffee." "I'll have the super happy cappuccino." "Great choices. I will return with your drinks, young Masters." The maid walks off.
"So, tell me. What's the deal?" "Alright, alright. I, may have, made some deals with Terriermon, and I may, or may not have, double crossed him and took all the profits." Dante sighs in disgust. "Really, Junichi. You can't except to keep getting away with this kind of behavior. You're going to get yourself killed!" Junichi laughs. "Relax, Dante! What's that little bunny going to do?" "Laugh all you want, you've already gotten yourself in some hot water." "Spare me your metaphors. I live by my own code." The maid returns with the beverages. "Here you go, Masters. What can I get you to eat?" Junichi takes a long look at the menu. "Let's see. I'll have the Super yummy flour cakes, the yum yum sushi, and a bowl of your saltiest soup on the side." "I'll have the teriyaki-a-gogo, two orders of rice balls, and top it off with a super happy kami cake." "Excellent! I shall return." The maid walks off again.
Meanwhile, Terriermon mobilizes his men. They meet in his luxury suite to discuss the plan. "Alright, you lowlifes, listen up! Junichi has betrayed us, and stolen large sums of money, and that makes me an angry bunny! You are going to find them, and bring them to our base downtown." One of the goons speaks up. "But boss, how are we going to find them?" Terriermon smirks with a wicked grin. "That's where our newest recruit comes in. Enter!" A young woman with long black hair walks into the suite. She is wearing white robes with black trim. "Gentlemen, this is Ivory. She's one tough cookie! Ivory, I need you to locate the traitor and bring him back. And don't forget about his friend, the redhead with the worm! Bring all three to the base downtown, and I assure you, you will be handsomely rewarded!"
Ivory just stares at Terriermon. "Yes, Boss. I will return with the targets." Ivory exits the suite. Terriermon yells at his men. "What do you think you are doing? Follow her!" "Ah, y-yes, Boss!" The goons follow Ivory. Terriermon takes a puff off his cigar. "Ah, that's the good stuff. I've got a good feeling about Ivory. She'll get the job done. Then I'm going to kick that stupid Junichi right in his face! Nobody double crosses the Boss! Wa ha ha ha ha!" The hostess walks in with a food cart. "Sir, your carrots have arrived." "Excellent!" Terriermon jumps onto the food cart and starts eating. Ivory and the goons make their way to the parking lot.

Dante, Wormmon, and Junichi enjoy their meal. Dante shovels food into his jacket so Wormmon can feast. They eat until they are beyond full. Meanwhile, Ivory and Terriermon's goons attempt to locate the group. Ivory pulls out a device. "I'm getting a reading. Locating Dante's digivice. Looks like he's downtown. Move!" They get in a van and start heading towards Dante's location. Dante has stuffed his face with overpriced food. "Oh, I can't eat any more. I feel awful." The maid comes back with the check. Junichi reaches in to the briefcase and pulls out a wad of cash. "There. That outta cover it." The maid smiles and takes the money. "Thank you very much, Masters. We hope you enjoyed your stay, and come back real soon, a-hee-hee!" The maid escorts Dante and Junichi to the door.
"Okay, where to next?" "Oh, there's a new club that just opened up. We gotta check it out." Dante remembers the last time he went to a club. He hopes he doesn't run in to that drunk girl again. "Ya, let's go man." They get in Junichi's car and take off. Ivory watches the scanner from the van. "Looks like they are on the move. Take the next left and await further instructions." "Who made you the boss?" Ivory looks at the goon with evil in her eyes. "I'm the one with the scanner, and I'm not going to let you lowlifes stop me from completing my mission." Dante and the others reach the club. They get out and go inside.
The club is full of flashing lights and people wearing neon. Loud hip hop music is blasting through the surround system. "Oh ya, now this is my kind of place!" Dante and Junichi sit at the bar. After 5 minutes or so, the bartender finally comes over and takes their drink orders. "Wow, the service is terrible. Must be because it is so crowded." "Don't worry about it. This place is tight! Just look at all the skanks." "How come these women aren't wearing lots of clothes? They are half naked, Dante!" "That's because they are drunk sluts looking for a quick hookup." "Come on, don't talk about them like that. I'm going to talk to that girl in the schoolgirl uniform." Junichi takes a big sip of his drink and goes to talk to the girl. Dante just sits at the bar with Wormmon, playing on his phone.
Ivory and the goons arrive at the club. "We can't go in there looking like this!" "You're right, we need some disguises." Ivory sees a group about to go into the club. She gets out of the van and walks over to them. "Hey, if you want a real party, come through the back door. It's the VIP area. Besides, this place is packed." They follow Ivory around the corner of the club. The goons sneak up and knock them out with beer bottles upside the head. Ivory and the goons drag the group back to the van and steal their clothes. One of the goons is wearing right lime green pants and a white see through shirt. The other is wearing baggy pants with chains, and an orange jacket. Ivory is wearing a purple mini skirt, high heels, fishnets, and a short white tank top. "Ugh, we look hideous! Let's hurry this up."

Ivory and the two goons enter the club. Ivory looks around and sees Dante at the bar. "There's the tamer. But where's Junichi? Go look for him." Ivory walks up to Dante and sits down next to him. "I have to say, that is some amazing hair." Dante looks up from his phone and sees Ivory. He blushes in delight, as he does every time someone complements his hair. "Thank you, I'm Dante." "I'm Erica." Dante and Ivory order a few drinks and talk for a while. Wormmon starts to get bored by their conversation.
The goons search the club. They see Junichi talking to some girls. One of them walks up behind Junichi. "What the hell are you doing?" Junichi turns around and recognizes Terriermon's goon. "Damn! Just when I was having fun." Junichi tosses his drink into the goon's face and dashes to the back of the club. Dante and Ivory continue talking and drinking. Wormmon pops their head out of Dante's jacket. "I'm bored! Let's go do something else." Dante is shocked Wormmon didn't stay hidden. "Oh, you're a tamer?" "Wait, you know about Digimon?" "I do. There's something horrible happening in the Digital world, and I'm looking for tamers to help out." "Well, Wormmon and myself are happy to, ugh, save the day. Ya." Dante starts feeling the effects of the booze. "Follow me, hurry." Ivory grabs Dante's arm and drags him to the back of the club. There they see Junichi. "Dante, it's a trap!" Ivory glares at Junichi. "You little cowardly traitor! You crossed the wrong Digimon. Terriermon is going to feed you to the Seadramon!"
Junichi smirks at Ivory. "Ya, right. Pocket sand!" Junichi reaches into his pocket and throws sand in Ivory's face. "Oh my god! Who does this to people?!" Dante and Junichi exit the bar out the back door and head to the parking lot. "Yo, are you okay to drive?" "No man. I ain't driving. And you're drunk as a skunk." Dante struggles to stand up straight. "No I'm not drunk, you're drunk, ya bathturd." "Yep, he's drunk. Quick we gotta get out of here." Junichi and Dante head down the street. Wormmon rides in Dante's jacket. "I thought this was your day off!"

Dante and Junichi head down the street. Soon they reach a large crowd. "Oh ya, I forgot there was a parade today." "We can hide in the crowd, quickly!" They make their way through the crowd and try to lose Ivory and the goons. Dante struggles to stand up, and he has a surly grin on his face. "Junichi, something's wrong with Dante." "Ya, he's drunk out his mind right now. His head is in the clouds." Dante goes to punch Junichi in the face, but his vision is blurry and he sees 3 of him and misses. "We gotta get some coffee in you or something man."
The parade continues to go by. There's an anime float, and a maid float. Dante sees a float for a pop music group. "What's the deal? There's like, 400 pop stars and they all look the same. Stupid lousy music industry!" Junichi grabs Dante by the arms. "Yo, you need to relax. Don't go crazy on me." "You said I had to do something crazy today. Well, *hic*, here I go!" Dante hands Wormmon to Junichi and runs into the road. Dante climbs onto the float and wrestles the microphone away from a super skinny pop star.
"How ya doing?! This next song is called Fun on a bun, ugh, I mean Fox on the Run! Hit it!" The speakers on the floats start playing "Fox on the Run" by MAKE-UP www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6fNERkuwUc Dante gives an energetic performance. Pretty soon the entire parade is rocking out with Dante. Junichi watches on in shock as Dante hijacks the parade. "You're crazy!" Wormmon jumps up and down on Junichi's head. "Ya, way to go Dante!" Dante sings on the float, and throws in some spin kicks and dance moves for good measure. "FOOOOOX ON DE RUN!" Dante dances around in a state of total euphoria. Suddenly Dante hears a very familiar voice in the crowd. "Dante?!" He looks over and sees his sister Judith. "Oh no!"

Dante jumps off the parade float and runs into the crowd. Dante and Junichi run away, followed by Judith. Ivory sees them and follows behind. Dante and Junichi run into a large building and get in the elevator. Judith and Ivory see them in the elevator. "Quick, top floor!" Ivory charges towards them, but the door closes. Ivory goes to the staircase and runs up as fast as she can to catch up. Judith also takes the staircase trailing behind Ivory.
Dante, Junichi, and Wormmon reach the top floor. They go out the door and head to the rooftop. Ivory and Judith meet them there. "Looks like the chase is over, man." Ivory smiles a wicked grin and approaches Junichi. "You're coming with me! Terriermon will see to it that you are punished severely!" Dante grabs the briefcase from Junichi. "Look, we will give you the money back. Just leave us alone." "Oh, this is about more than money, Dante. You stupid redhead, you killed my brother!" Everyone looks shocked.
"Your brother?" "Indeed. My brother was on a mission for a record company and you killed him! I am going to avenge Syn by punishing you for the rest of eternity!" Dante is shocked to learn that Ivory is Syn's sister. "Really? I didn't know that creepazoid had any family. He put innocent lives in danger!" "That's his job, he's an assassin." Ivory pulls out a black card. It looks like the ones Syn used before. "Oh no, she's got one of those cards!" Dante grabs Wormmon from Junichi and backs up. Wormmon remembers when they fought Syn, and is scared to face his sister. Judith is angry at her brother. "Dante! Just what is going on?! You said you were sick!"

Ivory throws the card and summons IceDevimon in a white cloud of smoke. The group is shocked to see the Digimon appear. "What are those cards?" "They can summon Digimon out of thin air. Syn used them in battle." Ivory smirks at Dante. "You're outmatched. For killing my brother, I will kill your sister!" IceDevimon grabs Judith with their ice cold claw. "Ah! Dante!" Dante panics seeing his sister in danger. He reaches into his jacket and pulls out Syn's proto digivice. Ivory sees the digivice. (Thinking) "That is Syn's digivice! I can't believe Dante has it."
Dante activates the proto digivice and generates a dark card. He throws it and summons Numemon in a cloud of green smoke. "Ah ha ha! That's the best you've got?!" "Well, that was unexpected." IceDevimon sees the proto digivice. They release Judith and kneel down. "What are they doing?" "It looks like he's bowing to you Dante." Dante just stands there with a surprised look on his face. Ivory is furious. "What do you think you are doing? Attack!" "I will not attack my Master." Dante looks at the proto digivice. "He won't attack because this device has power over all of your card tricks. It's programmed into their data to serve whoever holds the proto digivice."
The group is stunned to learn about the device. Numemon crawls over to Dante. "What can I do for you, Master?" "Slime her!" Numemon fires a ball of sludge at Ivory, hitting her in the face. "Ew! Gross!" Dante returns Numemon to card form. The group holds on to IceDevimon and they fly away from the rooftop. They go back to their cars and head back to the house. Dante, Judith, Wormmon, and Junichi are sitting in the living room. "Okay, someone needs to explain a few things. Because a lot of crazy stuff just happened, and it's freaking me out!" Dante scratches the back of his head. "It's all alright. Yes, I took a day off. It turns out Junichi here double crossed some people he shouldn't, so we spent the rest of the day avoiding those goons."
Judith glares at Dante. "Then why were you dancing around on a friggin parade float?!" "I dared him to do something crazy, and he got drunk and barged his way into the parade." "Well, that's quite a day for somebody who stayed home sick. You've missed so many classes!" Wormmon crawls over on the couch and sits on Judith's head. "Don't worry, Judith. Dante was very responsible today. We just went for some food and shopping, then when we went to the baseball game the goons attacked us. Dante only wanted a day off." Judith takes Wormmon off her head and hands them to Dante. "Go take a shower, drunkard! I'm going to make dinner." Judith walks to the kitchen. Dante lets out a long groan. "Oh, what a day! I need to get some rest." "You got any cigarettes, man?" Dante and Junichi go out back for a smoke.

Dante and Junichi are outside smoking. Judith is making dinner. "Hey man, thanks for bailing me out today." "No problem, you're a friend." "Yo, is it cool if I stay the night here?" "Ya, you can stay. Crazy day." They finish smoking and go inside to play video games. Soon dinner is ready. Dante and Wormmon sit down to eat. Judith walks out and places two big plates of vegetables on the table. "What the? What is this? Garbage?" "It's your dinner. Dante faked being sick, and you helped him, Wormmon. So both of you are eating healthy for one week." Dante looks down in disappointment.
There's a knock at the door. Judith answers, and Mrs. Kurosawa is standing there carrying two stacks of books. "I just wanted to see if Dante was okay, and make sure he can catch up on his homework." Mrs. Kurosawa walks in and drops the books down on the table next to Dante. "Dang. Just what I needed." Judith and Mrs. Kurosawa laugh at Dante. Mrs. Kurosawa leaves, and Dante and Wormmon struggle to eat their vegetables. Everyone gets ready for bed.
The next morning, Dante wakes up and gets out of bed. He walks over to the dresser and checks his digivice. He doesn't see Syn's proto digivice anywhere. Dante goes downstairs. Junichi has already left. (Thinking) "Damn! Junichi must've stolen the proto digivice. Wonder what he's up to now." Dante walks into the kitchen. Judith is making coffee with Wormmon. Dante walks over and gives Judith a hug. He picks up Wormmon and puts them on his shoulder. "Friends, family and coffee. Yep, things are looking pretty great right now."
Meanwhile, Ivory meets with Terriermon at his secret base. "Okay, now what the hell happened?!" "I had them cornered, but Dante pulled out a very powerful digivice. My card monster was completely under his control." Terriermon climbs up onto his desk and kicks his papers on the floor. "What do you mean?! Argh this is crazy. Stupid teenagers running around messing with my plans! I'll get you for this!" Ivory looks up and smiles. "Not to worry, master. If we acquire this device, we could be unstoppable." "Hmm, I like the way you think, lady! Some day soon, we will have the device and our revenge! Wha ha ha ha ha haaa!" Terriermon lights up a cigar and blows smoke in Ivory's face. He jumps off the table and exits the room. "And clean up that mess!"
