Episode 21 - New Mission

Chibi-Koushiro walks up. "The characters are properties of Toei
Animation Inc., Saban Entertainment and others. They are used without
consent. Archive is only borrowing them for an indefinite amount of time.

"Strict Japanese spelling for all names when possible. If an English
name for a digimon or his attack is used and you know what the name
is supposed to be in Japanese-- please tell Archive so it can be corrected."

"One dark lord down, not a clue as to how many are left." Daisuke
sighed. "Despite Skull Satamon spouting something about that only
the smallest could destroy him, we defeated him with one massive
group attack. But that was only after Taichi-sempai was severely
wounded. The toll of the final fight to free File Island was too
great. Out of all the island's inhabitants, only a hand full of
Digimon are still alive. And Unimon will never see his home free
as he had been killed permanently at the hands of someone he had once called friend."

_________________

Koushiro wasn't exactly pleased that Daisuke had him set up his
laptop in Taichi's room to receive Gennai's message, but did as
he was told. He double-checked everything to make sure it was working
on his end. "It's almost time," he announced.

The children waited, but noon passed without a word from Gennai.
They began to wonder if he would contact them when a full-sized
holographic image of an old man wearing strange looking robes emerged
from the view screen of the laptop. "Good afternoon, Chosen." He
smiled at Taichi. "It's good to see you've awakened."

"Nothing can keep me down, old man," Taichi said with a sense of false bravado.

Gennai laughed. "I dearly hope so. Now that you've defeated Devimon,
you now need to find the crests and tags. I don't know where...."
He trailed off and started to blink as he saw some of the children
holding up tags. "Guess you already found the tags."

"Do you know if this tag is supposed to be mine?" Takeru questioned.
"We know Hikari is supposed to get the Crest of Hikari, and since
I only have one digimental that was found where hers was, we assumed I have a crest as well."

Gennai stared. "You know about the crests already?"

"Yeah, Wizarmon told me about them, and that Vamdemon has my digimon
held captive, and he knows she's my partner," Hikari informed.

"So that's where I dropped it," Gennai muttered to himself.

"Dropped it?!" Hikari cried out.

Gennai gave a forced laugh. "Well, I was being chased by Piemon's
minions at the time. I managed to get all the other Crest Digimon
to File Island, but I lost one. I'm really sorry."

"So the tag is mine," Takeru stated.

Gennai took the chance to change topics. "You have the Digimental of Hope and Patamon, correct?"

"Yes," Takeru replied with a nod.

"Then you have the Crest of Hope as well," Gennai replied.

"Quick question," Miyako spoke up. "If they can reach Perfection
with their crests, and Daisuke can jogress his two digimon to get
that level, what am I supposed to do? I don't have a second digimon nor a crest."

"'His two digimon?'" Gennai went back into shock as he turned to
look at Daisuke, and saw that he was flanked by V-mon and Wormmon.
"I see. You've got HIS digimon."

"Whose digimon?" Wormmon questioned.

Gennai coughed. "Ahem. I don't have much time. I'll give you the
location to where I've hidden the crests. I'm afraid you're going
to have to find them, but you should be drawn to them."

Koushiro noticed a website address being written onto his laptop
screen. "Um, I don't know if we can use the Digital Gate. I shut
down the room and caused a digimon to fall through it."

Gennai flinched. "That might've killed him in any one of hundreds of nasty ways."

"Better him than me," Koushiro retorted.

Mimi edged away from him.

"I wouldn't worry about that," Gabumon replied. "The floor reforms
a week after it breaks apart. At least that's how long it took after
Unimon almost fell through it."

"Which is good for us," Piyomon voiced. "It'll give us all a few
more days to recover before continuing on."

"When you go through the portal, you'll be on the Eastern coast
of Server. You must be careful for the lo-" Gennai was abruptly cut off, his image gone.

Koushiro immediately moved to save and personally memorize the web address.

"Well, that was 'helpful,'" Daisuke commented sarcastically. "At
least we know where we're going, but we didn't really learn anything new."

"Actually, I thought that was a rather good session with him," Tentomon retorted.

"He didn't answer my question," Wormmon whined.

"I don't think he wanted to answer it," Gomamon observed.

"I'm going to the temple to translate more about the first five
and make sure we can get the portal to work," Koushiro informed.

Daisuke nodded. "Miyako and a few others should go with you, just in case there's any trouble."

_________________

Yamato would've preferred to have stayed in Primary Village, since
when they had left Gabumon had not been entirely at full health
and that Taichi still couldn't get out of bed without a lot of help.
However, the surviving members of Unimon's troops could not vouch
for anyone's safety as the digimon possessed by the Black Gears
might still be evil and following Skull Satamon's last commands,
whatever they may have been. So, Daisuke had pretty much elected
Takeru and him to be Koushiro and Miyako's bodyguards as those two
worked. It was rather boring. They had been there for a couple days,
and all he had to do was collect some food to eat. Right now he
was watching the sunset with his brother and Patamon for lack of
anything better to do. At least tomorrow Taichi and the others would
be coming here, but that would be to use the portal and hurl themselves
back into a war that he didn't want to have any part in.

Takeru let out a sigh.

"Something wrong?" Patamon questioned.

"It's nothing," Takeru replied.

"It's Hikari, isn't it?" Patamon guessed.

Yamato blinked. "What about Hikari?"

"He likes her," Patamon replied.

Takeru blushed deep red. "I do not."

"Riiiiiight," Patamon returned in a disbelieving tone.

"It's just that I'm worried about her. That's all. You know, with
all those nightmares she's been having and trying to deal with her
problems all by herself." Takeru fidgeted.

Yamato rubbed his knuckles into his brother's head. "You're too
young to be falling for a girl. Especially Taichi's sister. Hurt her, and he'll kill you."

"Why would I ever hurt her?" Takeru questioned.

"Sometimes you hurt those you love," Yamato spoke as if from experience.

"I suppose you've hurt a girl before," Takeru returned.

"Yes," Yamato replied. "But sometimes it's the girl who hurts the guy."

_________________

Hikari looked up in surprise as Daisuke approached her. "What are you doing out here?"

"I was about to ask you that," Daisuke returned. "I'm just out for a walk."

"Nervous about tomorrow?" Hikari questioned, looking at the stars in the night sky.

Daisuke scratched the back of his head. "I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't scared. After all the battles we fought already, we still
have to go out and fight many more. But I can't let my fears stop
me. We're the only hope of two worlds, and I'm not going to stop
until the Dark Masters are defeated!"

"That's what I love about you," Hikari said fondly, before realizing
what she had blurted out. She covered her mouth and blushed madly.

Daisuke stared at her, blinking. "You love me?"

Hikari fidgeted. "Um, yes... I do love you."

"Ah, geez." Daisuke closed his eyes for a second. "But Hikari, you
do know that I don't feel that way about you."

"But you like Mimi and Miyako. Why not me?" Hikari questioned, tears leaking from her eyes.

Daisuke turned away from her, not wanting to see her cry. "Well,
it's just that, um, I find them more attractive, I guess."

"Because you've seen them naked?" Hikari pressed.

"Maybe. I didn't like Miyako until I saw what she had to offer."
Daisuke nervously laughed. "That doesn't really help, does it? I
don't know how to explain it. I mean, I like you as a friend, but
I can't be your boyfriend if I'm trying to get Mimi to be my girlfriend."

"Mimi doesn't like you," Hikari retorted with a sob.

"Well, I guess she doesn't like me NOW, but things can change," Daisuke replied.

"Your feelings for me could change too," Hikari said with a sense of determination in her voice.

"Maybe. But for now...." Daisuke turned around to look at her, but
his mouth crashed to the ground as Hikari was pulling off her skirt
and panties and tossing them with her already discarded shirt and bra.

"Do you like me more now?" Hikari desperately asked as she walked
toward him wearing only her shoes and socks, as she didn't bother
to take the time to remove them. Not getting a reply from the stunned
boy, she leaned forward and kissed him.

Daisuke knew he should push her away. He didn't love her. But her
small perky breasts, her enticing triangle of pubic hair pointing
at a forbidden treasure he had never seen in person, and her passionate
and desperate kiss... he wouldn't be a man if he refused her now.
He had never been so aroused before. Considering tomorrow he might
die in battle, he couldn't pass up the chance to have sex.

Hikari smiled as Daisuke laid her down on the ground and began to
remove his clothes. She believed that after tonight, he would finally
realized that he loved her. After all, he had come to her rescue
when that imitation Vamdemon appeared. It was only fitting that
the hero would get the girl he loved.

Daisuke was still uncertain if he should do this, but Hikari held
out her hand eager to pull him down on top of herself. With her
legs spread, he could see her welcoming pussy. His erection was
now painful in its intensity, demanding release. His mind idled
by lust, he took her hand and kneeled down between her wide legs.
With a sharp tug from Hikari, he fell on top of her.

"Eager, aren't you?" Daisuke joked.

Hikari blushed as she nodded. She didn't say anything as she grabbed
penis and tried to pull it into herself.

Daisuke grimaced in pain. "Let me."

Hikari looked ashamed as he shifted position. But his attempts to
enter her were meet with equal failure as he poked her hard with
his dick. She reached down and spread her nether lips to help, and
Daisuke finally found his way into her. She let out a loud moan
of pleasure feeling his length planted so deep inside her, giving
her a pleasure she had never experienced before.

The sensations Daisuke was feeling were fantastic. He began to pump
into her body slowly at first trying to get used to these wondrous
intimate kiss her sex was giving to his. It wasn't long before he
sped up, increasing the intense pleasure both of them were feeling,
which Hikari assisted with by raising her legs into the air, allowing him to enter her better.

The pace Daisuke was going was frantic and a bit erratic as he hammered
into her. He wanted to hold off orgasming to enhance his pleasure
but he didn't know exactly how as his cum began to spurt inside
her. When his orgasm subsided her pussy began to spasm as it massaged,
tugged and pulled on his manhood in ways he couldn't begin to describe.

Hikari panted but still brought him into a brief but hungry kiss before falling asleep.

Daisuke blinked. "Thought guys were supposed to do that." He then
shook his head and sighed. He didn't know what he should do. Being
tired, he decided to make himself comfortable next to her and go to sleep as well.

_________________

Daisuke awoke as Hikari shifted around in her sleep. Her mouth opened
as if to scream, but nothing came out. He tried to shake her awake,
but her nightmare continued for another minute before her eyes snapped
open and stared at him in absolute fright. She wasted no words as
she hugged on to him and began to desperately kiss him all the while crying uncontrollably.

Daisuke cursed his dick as it became ridged. He felt that he should
not be horny as he needed to help her, and did not want to take
advantage of the naked girl. But his cock felt differently... and so did Hikari.

There was no fumbling as Hikari inserted Daisuke hot member into
herself. Nor did she pause as she moved her ass up and down, repeatedly
impaling herself on his man-staff wanting every ounce of pleasure it could offer her.

Daisuke just laid there as Hikari rode him hard. He was still half-asleep
and didn't know what to do with the passion she was giving him.
She was like a force of nature and there was nothing he could do
but weather her storm of ecstasy.

Hikari was quickly engulfed in a sea of welcomed pleasure. The feeling
of someone she loved inside her was mind blowing. And when his seed
began to fill her, the euphoria of orgasm was multiplied in its shear intensity.

Hikari looked down at her lover and smiled as he had passed out.
This was everything she had dreamed of and never wanted it to end.
She curled up on top of him, keeping as much of his spent penis
inside her as she could. But soon sleep washed over her and his
cock pulled free of her as she rolled off of Daisuke.

_________________

Hikari gave a contented yawn when she woke up, but frowned when
she looked around and saw that her lover wasn't there. They had
made love twice last night and it had been great. Especially the
second time after she had woken up after her nightmare. She gathered
her clothes and put them on and began to search for Daisuke. She
smiled fondly as she found him a short distance away sitting next
to a stream. She paused for a moment just to look at him.

Daisuke pitched a stone into the stream. He knew he shouldn't have
fucked Hikari the first time, and she certainly hadn't given him
any option the second time after her nightmare as she had latched
onto him like a boa constrictor. Yesterday, he would've laughed
at the notion of Hikari being a slut, but he believed differently
now. He doubted that last night had been her first time. He had
been told a girl's first time was painful, and she had never shown
any sort of discomfort. While she had professed love to him, he hadn't felt it.

"Good morning," Hikari finally greeted him with a warm smile while
walking toward him. "Last night was wonderful." She leaned down
to kiss him but was surprised when he pushed her away. "What's wrong?"

"Listen, Hikari... last night shouldn't have happened," Daisuke told her.

Hikari blinked. "Why not? Don't you love me?"

Daisuke sighed. "No, I don't. I told you that last night, and I still don't love you."

"But we made love last night," Hikari protested.

"No, you fucked me," Daisuke retorted. "There is a difference. I
did you because I'm a guy and you offered. Love had nothing to do with it for me."

Hikari began to cry. "But, Daisuke--"

"I know you love me," Daisuke interrupted. "But I don't want to
continue this. When I get into a serious relationship, I want to
love the girl I'm with. Right now that's not you."

"But you could love me," Hikari said with a sob.

"Months or years from now, maybe. But, it won't be any time soon."
Daisuke stood up and began to walk off. "I'm not going to tell anyone
about what happened," he promised before disappearing through the trees.

Hikari fell to her knees. What had gone wrong? He had made love
to her, hadn't he? She was the weak one that needed to be protected
by the one that loved her, and Daisuke had done that for her, hadn't
he? He was the courageous leader like her brother should've been,
and the leader always gets the girl, right? So, why hadn't that
been the case this time? She had given him her love, and even after
proving it he still said he didn't love her. It didn't make sense to her.

_________________

Sora eyed Hikari carefully while the group made there way to the
temple. She believed that Hikari's depression this morning had something
to do with the girl starting to remember her nightmares. While she
wanted to help Hikari, she wasn't about to bring it up with her brother present.

Hikari's depression hadn't escaped Taichi's notice, but he knew
that getting her to open up took a lot of effort and he was still too weak to try.

Daisuke felt like shit for hurting Hikari, but he couldn't just
keep fucking her and call it a relationship. It had no meaning to him.

Mimi hadn't noticed anything wrong with the group, but that was
mostly because of her own issues. She wished she could stay with
the baby digimon, but knew that she was needed. Unimon may have
said that she had more choice than he did, but in truth neither
of them did. She didn't want another digimon to end up like Unimon,
permanently dead. She had no clue as to what she could do to stop
these Dark Masters and their minions without killing them, and she had no plans to do that.

The digimon were still inexperienced with humans and only knew they
weren't happy. They weren't exactly overjoyed to be leaving the
only home they've ever known. Sure, there had been a lot of bad
memories here, but there were also many good ones as well.

"Hey, guys, why all the long faces?" Yamato called out as the group approached.

"Why shouldn't we be down? We're about to go back into war," Mimi retorted.

The others left it at that.

Yamato shrugged. "The floor reformed early this morning. We should
be able to activate the portal," he informed them.

"That's good," Daisuke replied. "Where are we going?"

"The Digital World's equivalent of Korea," Yamato answered. "Koushiro
suspects he knows where the regional lord is. Apparently there's
a university over there that has computer hacking as one of its
majors. According to the map he showed me, we'll have to go through
the Kaiser's section of China before reaching Vamdemon's territory in Japan."

"I hope you can understand all that, it's all English to me," Gabumon whined.

"Might as well get going," Agumon voiced.

"Are you okay now, Taichi?" Yamato questioned.

"Never better," Yagami lied.

Author's Notes:

Coming Soon:
Chapter 22 - Occupied Territory
The Chosen arrive near a village of Gazimon, but can they deal with
these trouble making digimon when their king arrives?

Before I get comments about Hikari being 'Out Of Character,' here are a few things to note:

One, this is an alternate timeline fict where this Hikari has had
very different life experiences than the Hikari in the Adventures timeline.

Two, while Adventures timeline Hikari is shown to be an active girl
who rarely spends time at home watching television, Digital War
Hikari is a certified otaku, an obsessed fan of all things anime.
Her romantic notions were spawned from anime cliched romances of
damsels in distress and the 'main character/hero' always getting the girl.

Three, Digital War Taichi lost his confidence along with Koushiro's
friendship from the prank they pulled on the yakuza thug. Daisuke
still has his confidence and other aspects to his personality that
Taichi had lost, which Hikari respects and looks for in a guy.

Note on Daisuke sleeping with Hikari: Per the Japanese perspective
with the situation he was in, it would've highly rude to have NOT
slept with her. He had no real reason to deny her sex, so it would've
been wrong for him to do so. Hikari was the one being rude in not
giving him much of a choice about it.

Was Hikari a virgin? Maybe, maybe not. That was Daisuke's first
time and his inexperience could've lead to a false assumption. Not
to mention Hikari's hymen could've been broken in other means besides
sex and the lack of it helped her to not feel any pain. This will be answered eventually.

"OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE!"
shouts the entire chibi-Chosen as they prance around File Island.

Chibi-Daisuke tries to sneak a skirt peak of what's under chibi-Mimi's
school dress. A tail whips out from her skirt, wraps around his
neck, and draws him in. Chibi-Mimi makes a strange face and chibi-Daisuke
is suddenly thrown out of her skirt by the tail. He looks like he
had been beaten into a bloody pulp.

The remaining chibi-Chosen continue the mantra until they start
climbing up Infinity Mountain. Chibi-Hikari falls off and her skirt
lifts up showing a picture of a broken heart on her white panties.

"Now for a little extra," chibi-Hikari moans.

------------------

"Welcome back to 'Whose Line is it Anyway' - Digimon style," Gomamon
grinned. "I'm the big winner for this game."

"We both won," Tentomon corrected.

"Well, the most votes listed both of us, but I had a couple votes
as well and you didn't," Gomamon retorted with a grin.

Tentomon huffed. "As the winners, we get to determine the punishment,
ahem, I mean game the losers get to play. I've chosen Super-heroes."

"I've selected which super-hero they will be playing, and they can
defeat the others by saying their super-hero name," Gomamon added.
"The players should act as if they're in pain if someone says part of their name."

"The crisis?" Tentomon called out. "The anime cat girl is in heat,
and they all want to score with her."

Gomamon laughed. "Oh, this can be fun. The round begins now!"

"There's something different about Tailmon today," Armadimon commented while drooling slightly.

"There is something about her," Hirokazu agreed.

"Why am I even in this game?" Mr. Referee asked.

"I never felt this way before. But for her, I shall be manly," Bobby vowed.

Armadimon tried to punch Bobby below the belt. "Quiet gay-boy."

Bobby cried out as if in pain. "You dare oppose my manly might!"
he called out in anger while flexing his muscles like a weightlifter.

"You're just a macho gay guy who should leave the chicks to us," Hirokazu glared.

"Ack! You got me!" Bobby fell to the floor.

"What shall become the super-heroes if they kill each other?" Mr. Referee asked.

"One down," Armadimon commented, before trying to punch Hirokazu in the balls.

"Don't do that. You don't want to make me angry!" Hirokazu threatened.

"Oh, really. Feel my deadly attack!" Armadimon tried to strike below the belt again.

Hirokazu slapped himself in the face. "Rage building!"

"Oh, what will the future hold for our FURIOUS youth?" Mr. Referee questioned.

Armadimon tried to attack Mr. Referee. "What's with your pointless questions?"

Mr. Referee cringed in pain. "Is there anything better than eating
cracked nuts while watching TV?"

Armadimon cried out in agony.

Hirokazu lurched forward. "Hirokazu mad. Hirokazu punch!"

Armadimon staggered back. "I shall still win you cheap Hulk!"

Hirokazu howled in pain. "Hirokazu destroy nut puncher!"

"Tailmon was mine," Armadimon whined as he fell down.

"Is imitation Hulk better than the real thing?" Mr. Referee questioned.

"Hirokazu lose!" Hirokazu bonelessly collapsed to the ground.

"Will I ever stop asking 'rhetorical questions, man?'" Mr. Referee
asked. "Never!" He then faked dying, as he said his own super-hero name.

"That's it for 'Who's Line is it Anyway?' Digimon style. I'm Gomamon," the seal waved.

"And I'm Tentomon," the insect added.

"And we're out of here!" the two digimon chorused.
