Not too long ago, on a boring Wednesday...
Dante and Wormmon are sitting on the couch playing video games. Judith walks in with a cup of coffee and sits down next to Wormmon. "What game are you playing now?" "Dragon Slayer Origins. It's another generic fantasy rpg." "My guy is a dwarf who's always at the tavern!" "Wow, Wormmon showing some restraint by not making his character a bimbo for a change." "I loved this game when it came out, but the sequels kept getting worse and worse." Wormmon's dwarf gets too drunk, and starts stumbling around the tavern. "Ahh watch out Dante! It's a zombie monster!" Wormmon attacks the dragon with his hammer. "You fool! You just killed a bar maiden." The guards start chasing after Dante and Wormmon.
"Great. Now you've got us in trouble, again." "I thought she was a zombie." They run through the streets to get away, but the dwarf starts throwing up, and the guards catch him. "Oh, look how much gold we lost." "This is total garbage! Stupid game set me up." Wormmon throws the controller across the room. He picks up a hammer in real life and starts smashing the game console. "Much better..." Judith just rolls her eyes and sips her coffee. "That's the 3rd console this month. Hey, don't you have class today, Dante?" "Ughh, oh ya I guess I do. Meh, I'm still feeling tired." "Damn it, get your lazy butt down to the college, or I swear to goddess I'm gonna call our parents." "No, don't call them, I'll go." "You better. If you don't start passing some classes, mom and dad are going to cut off our funds, and then my music career will be cut tragically short." "Sounds like a mercy killing." Wormmon pushes a button, and it plays canned laughter.
"Um, what is that?" "I got this button that makes laughing noises, like on TV shows when a character makes a funny zinger." "Well there's just one problem, Dante's not comedic funny, he just smells funny." Wormmon pushes the button. "Ha! Good one, Judith." "Just... get going already. And take Wormmon with you." Judith finishes her coffee and storms off towards the kitchen. "Well little buddy, guess we gotta go. It looks like people around here don't like us." "But Dante! I wanna have fun. Class is so boring." "Do you really want to be stuck hanging around with Judith all day? Change into your holosuit and let's get this over with."
Wormmon activates his holosuit, taking the form of a young woman with long green hair wearing a grey school uniform. Dante and Wormmon drive down to the campus and head to their next class. "Let's see, Wednesday, we missed French class, but we can still make it to horticulture." "Whoretic coaster?" "Ya." The two slackers head to the gardens for class. Wormmon likes digging around in the dirt, and loves eating the plants. The class starts working with all different kinds of fruits and vegetables. Dante notices some students he has not seen before. (Thinking) "Hmm, I really have been skipping classes for a long time."

Feilciano paid extra close attention to the professor, he had signed up for this class because 1) he needed a third class in order to be a full time student and 2) he needed it in order to graduate. Even if he still had time before he graduated he still wanted to get this class out of the way considering that his friend kiku told him it was painfully boring. For once he agreed with his quiet friend, at lest they got to interact with the school gardens. Feli loved to grow vegetables or plants of any kind really, it helped him relax.
Because feli had been so focused on the teacher he didn't notice Dante

The students toil away in the hot sun tending to the plants. It wasn't as exhilarating as playing video games non stop, but Dante enjoys working in the gardens. Even though getting dirt under your fingernails is fairly annoying. Meanwhile Wormmon's hands and arms are covered in dirt. The professor goes on with his lecture, reminding students to check for bugs. While Dante is paying attention, Wormmon is humming a song. Dante tries to ignore him, and gets up to pull some weeds out of the flower bed a little further away. He catches a glimpse of a familiar face. (Thinking) "Strange. I think I know him from somewhere. Is that?..."
The professor comes walking by Dante and Wormmon. "Ah, Dante, what a surprise. I was beginning to think that you were dropping my class." "No, not at all. I apologize for being absent, and I'll start putting in more effort." The professor looks over at Wormmon, who is still humming. "And you must be one of the new students." Wormmon stops humming and turns around. "Oh uh, yep! Just transferred here. I'm Willow." "Alright, just try not to make such a mess." Wormmon looks at his dirty hands. "I guess I just like to dig. Ha ha!" "Good to see such enthusiasm. Carry on." The professor goes back to his lecture. Dante sighs at Wormmon, then laughs. "Hey, what's so funny?" "Oh nothing. You're just a goofball sometimes."

Feli sighed he stretched out a bit to get rid of the faint pain in his back, good thing he had experience with kneeling for a long amount of time. Once he was sure that he felt a bit better, he began to gently inspect his flowers. He had found a few aphids, and had proceed to gently remove them from the flowers in order to avoid harming the stem.
Feli wandered if the professor would allow them to release at lest a few ladybugs in order to keep the aphids under control. He sighed once he had removed the last of the little critters off of his plants, next he began to pull out weeds that had decided to settle near his plants. It was after he had pulled the last weed and sat up in order to wipe some sweat that had accumulated on his forehead did he notice dante.
At first he hadn't recognized his fellow college student, it took him a moment of thinking before realizing why the student was so familiar. Unfortunately he couldn't say hi, they were pretty far apart, maybe he would notice him if he waited a moment.

Several shadow-like bats gathered from different directions, before they all hid in the trees, chittering quietly amongst themselves, one half saying, "is that...?" and "It Is!" the other half saying "they're..." and "that lady must be...." before they all turned towards one another, their grins impossibly wide, before they charged at each other, slamming into one ball, before that ball molded itself into a humanoid and childlike shape, before a rookie-leveled virus-type with a mask over his head and blood red claws landed on a sturdy branch, observing the three people he remembered closely. His smile turned into a mild grimace, as he thought, and recalled how, in a school like this one, a child in a vampire costume may be considered just a bit too odd, when compared to simply wandering the streets. "Guess I'll have to catch em' when they're alone." he surmised, and reluctantly resigned himself to staying put for the time being, just to observe the three with the eyes on his palms from the shade of the tree leaves.

Dante and Wormmon continued to take care of the plants. They were blissfully unaware that a flock of bats was in the area, and that their old wacky pal DracNos was watching from afar, waiting for an opportunity to alert his friends when they are alone. Lucky for the plants, some of the students are releasing ladybugs to gobble up any unwanted bugs. With any luck, once Wormmon left, they would be the only bugs in the garden. After finishing up in the garden, the students start putting their tools away and wrapping up for the day. The professor is delighted to see so many students tending to the plants. The flower beds will look lovely, and in a few weeks there will be fresh produce for the cafeteria.
While the students are putting things away, Dante and Wormmon run into each other. "Hey, Feliciano! I thought it was you. Long time no see." "Feli? What's up?! It's me, Wormmon, the lovable Worm King. Last time I remember seeing you, we were battling that oddball Etemon." "No, that was with Micah and Red. Last time we saw Feli, we battled that try hard Gabe in an abandoned warehouse." "Oh ya! We really should go there more often." Dante is ecstatic to see his friend again. They catch up with Feliciano, talking about Italian food, gardening, and some of their adventures.
"And then, we crashed this wedding up in the mountains, and then I drove this big monster truck, and then-" "Woah slow down there, buddy. How about we go somewhere for a late lunch and get something good to eat?" "Yes, great idea! Something delicious and cheesy. Do they serve cheese on sushi?" "No, of course not." "I mean, is there a sushi place that also has cheese, and if they do, can I ask them to put the cheese on top of it?" "Let's put the cheesy sushi on the back burner for now." They start walking towards the parking lot to head to the car. While walking along the sidewalk, they are alone and out of sight from the other students. A good chance for any vampires nearby to say hello. However, they are not the only students with plans after class.

After a while of hard work under the hot sun they were finally given permission to leave for the day. Felicano was more then happy to leave the garden, not that he didn't enjoy gardening, but the heat made it impossible to concentrate. Feli was happy to see that some students were already letting lose some ladybugs and thought that later he would bring his own. As he packed he heard dante and wormmon call out to him.
He greeted them with a smile, they had begun to talk about other things, and at the moment wormmon was talking about how apparently they crashed a wedding. That was when dante brought up the topic of lunch, he felt hungry, all he had was toast in the morning because apparently him and his brother woke up late and had to rush to school.
Felicano nodded sushi was ok, after all he often visited his friends and they were the ones to introduce him to sushi. It was pretty good in his book, so with that he found himself following dante and wormmon to their car, and for some reason he found himself wandering how a certain little vampire was faring.

Naturally, he shifted, uncomfortably in his seat, but extraordinarily patient, compared how he usually behaves. Once they started moving, his grin beamed, almost through the leaves as it seemed the three were travelling as a group. Naturally, he followed them closely, up to Dante's car, he heard a mention of "sushi", whatever that was, and noticed the car, he usually saw these things moving at breakneck speeds, something he would be unable to chase... In his current form, at least. He quickly digivolved right behind the car, into his champion "sangloupmon" form, making a momentary flash of light, before he immediately sank into the car's shadow, with his champion form's special ability. He could stick to their shadow effortlessly now.

The gang agrees to go for sushi, and they walk over to Dante's car. A red four door Toyota Yaris. However, they were unaware that a certain batty fellow was tagging along for the ride. After sitting at a few red lights, they reach the Yum Yum Sushi Temple. They pick a table outside to enjoy the weather. Fortunately it is in a covered area, to avoid risking a sun burn after being out in the gardens for a couple of hours.
Dante and Wormmon order all kinds of sushi. Salmon, shrimp, lots of toppings. "Remember, Wormmon, don't eat too much wasabi." "You mean the green stuff? No way, too hot." Dante orders a strawberry lemonade, and Wormmon goes with four bottles of Ramune and a can of melon soda. It isn't long before the queen of green starts to get a little too on edge with all that sugar. He picks up a piece of sushi and stuffs it in his mouth. "Mmm yes so good!" He grabs two more pieces and bites one in half. "Take it easy, there."
While Wormmon is highlighting his improper table manners, Dante catches up with Feliciano. It sounds like they have both gotten into some exciting adventures since their last outing. "It's crazy how fast time flies by. Too many creeps out there using Digimon for evil." "After this meal, we should find some criminals, barge into their base, and lay down the law of the jungle. Oh ya!" "Glad to see you're so determined to stand for what's right." "And then, we take their money, buy a rocket ship, steal some rocket fuel, and put that in the rocket ship, and fly straight to the stars, baby!" "That's it, you're cut off."

Feliciano took a deep breath in and exhaled, it sure was a nice fresh day out he was happy for the tables shade from the sun, he tanned easily. When it was his turn to order a drink he had settled on mint tea, it was a tea that was recently introduced to him and he enjoyed its taste immensely.
Once he had received his drink he began to eat sushi, he watched as wormmon began to get a little to hopped up on suger. He slightly chuckled when the digimon went on a large rant about how they should bring in bad guys, and use the reword money to buy a rocket ship. Not at all bothered by wormmons lack of table manners feli smiled and nodded "si it has been a long time, i haven't run into to many criminals but judging by how you and wormmon were speaking you both had a run in with many" feli said sadly, sometimes he wished that not so many people would use digimon as tools or weapons. "well its good to see you both in good spirits and health" feli said with a smile.

"Still too public." he muttered to himself, as his massive figure hid among the trees outside. Despite his lack of eyes, he had an innate sense of where shadows where, and could hide almost effortlessly among them. Following them had been effortless as well, as in a champion form, a car wasn't anything impressive. A sharp eye could notice a hulking dog-like figure amongst the tree across from the sushi place. There were far too many scents and noises for his friends to be alone, he would have to bide his time even more, oddly enough, this didn't bother him as much, and he froze in place, waiting with far more patience, perhaps he gained good hunting skills with his evolution?

Fortunately for Dante, Feli wasn't offended by Wormmon having a little too much fun. They enjoyed catching up with Feli over a nice meal. Yet for some reason, it felt like they were being watched. At least, more so than usual, as Wizardmon was almost always spying on them from afar. While Feliciano had not run into criminals very often, they all agreed that it was important to stop people from using Digimon as weapons of destruction in the Human World for their own needs.
Just as the gang is finishing their meal, some guests at another table start making a scene. They frantically start checking their phones. From what Dante can hear, it sounds like something bad has happened downtown. Dante excuses himself from the table for a moment and politely asks them what's going on. Apparently, there was an explosion seen at an office building a few blocks towards the center of the city. Dante walks back to the table, his face looking quite grim and concerned.
"It sounds like trouble. I hope everyone is okay." "What could have caused the explosion?" "Can't tell. It could be something simple like a gas leak or an electrical fire, but I have a feeling someone is responsible. Strange, I haven't heard of many Digimon attacks in the city for quite some time... If that is the case, why are they striking now?" "Well just in case someone is up to no good, why don't we go over and hero all over the place?" "And see if we can help anyone who was injured." Dante can tell Feliciano is on board. Hopefully they can get there in time in case people are stuck inside. They don't have much to go on other than a few calls made from people in the area. But in the digital age we live in, it didn't take long for the news to spread. The gang pays for their delicious meal, and they leave in a hurry.

Feli was enjoying his conversation over a meal with dante and wormmon, however he had gained a sixth sense after surviving so many digital battles. At times this was a blessing, other times a curse, he had to act like his usual clumsy self around his loved ones because apparently all this fighting really whipped someone into shape. So it really wasn't a surprise when he felt like something was watching them.
At first he thought about doing something about it, but decided not to, since what ever was watching them hadn't attacked. If it was a digimon with bad intentions renaissancmon would have alerted him from inside the D-tech. For the time being feli let it be, however just as he finished his meal, he had noticed that people started to look panicked. He was confused until Dante cleared it up, it didn't sound good, he hopped that servivers were ok...if there were any. Feliciano blinked now was not the time to think negatively He scolded himself.
Dante didn't need to ask of course he was going to help them out, so it was no serprise that once the meal was paid he was the first one to the car.

Despite being outside of the building, DracNos could hear the entire conversation, with the enhanced hearing his lack of sight in this form bestowed. He even managed to catch the location the panicked people at another table mentioned. He had lived in the area to recognize the road and specific building mentioned. He made sure they had passed his hiding spot before leaping up to the roof of the sushi building, making his way to the building, with a head start on the other two. With little effort, he dove past the tape securing the building and travelled to the basement, pausing on his way there, before slashing at the walls with his massive claws, creating a noticeable trail down to the basement, to lure in a trio of investigators.

Dante drives over to the office building. It's roughly 10 stories high, and there is a large cloud of smoke coming from one of the middle floors. "Looks like the explosion was contained to one area. It could have been much worse." There is already a large crowd gathered around, several squad cars and even a couple fire trucks. "Great. We're not going to get close this way. Maybe we should stay out of this." "Don't give up hope, brave warrior! I'll digivolve and fly us there." Dante parks the car at a nearby video game store, one Dante was of course very familiar with. The gang heads down an alley away from the main street. Wormmon forms a cocoon out of silk thread and digivolves to Stingmon. "Ho ya! The jet flying, mean green machine is ready to go."
Stingmon offers his arms to Dante and Feli to carry them. "Remember, stay out of site." Unless Feliciano has his own method of travel, Stingmon picks them up and flies up in the air. He soars above the building and lands down on the rooftop. Dante rushes over and checks the door. "Dang, it's locked." "No problem, I've got a key." Stingmon charges up his energy cannon and fires a blast of energy, blowing the door off the hinges. The gang heads down towards the fire. The smoke makes it difficult to see, and it is dangerous to breathe it in. Dante finds a scarf on a desk and wraps it around his mouth to help deal with the smoke. They reach a large room full of burning computer equipment. Dante sees one of the firefighters spraying water. "Wait a minute, that's not a fire fighter. That's Wizardmon!"
A Digimon wearing a cloak and a big floppy hat turns around. He is spraying water from his staff trying to put it out. "Oh, Dante, fancy meeting you here." "I should have known one of you scumbags was responsible for this. What has Piedmon told you to do this time?" "Dante, you don't understand. I'm trying to help. I have to stop her!" "Stop who?" "My wife." "HuWhaaaah?!"
