Eniac Chronicles Zero Two - Digimon/PR 1/?

[drunkenpandaren]

It was a fairly normal day for fledgling Doctor Tommy Oliver, get up, eat a western breakfast, depend on Hayley’s clothing schedule for finding something to wear, make the trip down to the Junior High School, greet his co-workers, work on the lesson plan at the last minute and then stride in to the never-getting-tired-of-stand-bow!

“Alright, welcome to your first day in the sciences. Who can tell me where it first began?”

And as if on cue, an earthquake hit Japan.

Tommy wondered if those words were cursed.


“It’s been a while since we’ve been able to chat together,” said Tommy as he spoke to Takeru and Hikari, the pair gathered in front of an empty room for privacy. Of course privacy meant that Daisuke was lurking close behind, jealous of both Takeru’s sudden closeness to his Hikari, and the new teacher who they seemed to know and TACKLED on their first day! It wasn’t fair! Why were all of these obstacles to his love getting in the way?

“Yeah, it’s been a while. Save for that earthquake, nothing much has happened,” said Takeru. “Some of us moved out of the old neighborhood, I’m still with my mom and Yamato’s with dad.”

“Taichi’s still obsessed with football but there’s a lot of training going on for camps. He managed to get in touch with some coaches and all,” said Hikari. “How’s Wizarmon?”

Wizarmon? Thought Daisuke. Who was that?

“He’s doing great, and loving it in deep space. Andros and him are partners in their adventures, though they’ve been all over this arm of the galaxy for a while now,” said Tommy. “Something to do about the remains of the Machine Empire.”

“Are we in for another attack?” asked Takeru.

An attack? Just who were these people anyhow?!

“Hopefully not. In any case, Mr. Motomiya!” Daisuke cringed from behind the door. “You realize that eavesdropping isn’t a good hobby, right?”

“Oh Daisuke…” groaned Hikari, hanging her head as Daisuke fled the scene.

“What was that about?” asked Takeru, bewildered.

“He… sort of has a crush on me and gets jealous whenever someone else talks to me…” said Hikari. “Puberty, what are you going to do?”

Takeru couldn’t argue with that. Hikari WAS cute after all.


“Dr. Oliver! What are you doing here?” exclaimed Koushiro, meeting the group as they came out of the empty room.

“Koushiro, good to see you buddy,” said Tommy and the pair shook hands. “I’m teaching here for a year, before moving to Reefside to finish what I need to do.”

“Ah, well, I detected an SOS on a digital level, but the signals coming from here,” said Koushiro.

“You mean digital world stuff?” said Takeru, surprised.

“Yes. C’mon, the lab is this way.”


“What the heck is all of this?” demanded Miyako as she held out the egg-shaped D3 at Koushiro and the others. “Sensei, what’s going on?!”

“Relax, it’ll all be explained,” said Tommy. “You two go and solve the problem. Call me if you need me.”

Hikari and Takeru nodded, knowing all too well that Tommy meant business. And in a flash of light, vanished into the computer screen, much to Miyako’s flailing and screaming What the Heck?!


“Tommy!” exclaimed V-mon, tackling him and hugging him around the neck. “God it’s been ages!”

“Nice to see you too V-mon,” laughed Tommy.

“So you’re his partner,” said Daisuke.

“Well we’ve got another problem,” said Hikari as she and Takeru emerged. “Looks like someone’s erecting large black towers called Spires, and the Digimon are being controlled by Dark Rings. The first digimon we fought was being controlled by them.”

“What’s worse, they’re all talking about someone called a Digimon Kaiser,” said Takeru. “What’s a Kaiser?”

“A Kaiser is an Emperor, route from the base German royalty lines, such as Graf and Furher. But more ancient than Furher,” said Tommy. “Did you get any look at him?”

“Nope,” said Takeru, shaking his head. “He obviously was looking at us though. I could feel someone watching us.”

“Glad to see you kept up the martial arts then,” said Tommy with a faint grin. “What else happened?”

“Well the Spires seem to block off all evolution, save for those incurred with these Digitama,” said Takeru. “Taichi caught a television portal back, but Agumon stayed behind to protect more Digimon.”

“Do you think this is an outside influence?” asked Hikari. “I mean, if there’s now PORTALS to the digital world…”

“Could be. Maybe we should try to get a message to Gennai on Server, and see if he can’t do anything about this.” Said Tommy with a shake of his head.

“Okay, just how much knowledge do you guys HAVE about this other world anyhow?” demanded Miyako while Iori nodded.

“Enough. Look, go home, get some sleep. I’m going to get in touch with a few friends and see if I can’t wrangle something up that’ll help bypass the evolution block.” Said Tommy, feeling like it was one of those years coming.


“There he is,” said Taichi as Yamato arrived. “About time you showed up.”

“Hey sorry, band practice,” said Yamato.

“It’s been a long time, the eight of us,” said Sora.

“Where’s Kotoha?” inquired Takeru.

“Kotoha’s back home, she doesn’t have a digimon or digivice,” said Sora. “But she wants a full update once we get back.”

“Eight though? Kotoha’s not here and Mimi’s in America,” said Jyou.

Takeru and Hikari shared a grin. “Didn’t you hear? Sensei is back.”

The expressions on everyone’s faces ranged from shock to glee. “Sensei’s back? Really? I thought he would have called ahead!” exclaimed Yamato.

“Well it seems that he’s been doing a lot of stuff lately, and he hadn’t called in until the day before,” said Takeru. “He’s Hikari and my first period science teacher.”

“The things that happen along the way,” said Sora with a shake of her head. “Does sensei still do the, y’know…?”

“Not too sure,” said Hikari. “He’s not wearing red, but black.”

“Could be a new power source. What did he say about the grid again? Colors indicate the amount of power in a person?” inquired Koushiro.

“Seems about right. At the least we shouldn’t rely on him as much as we used to. We’re adults now, and it should be alright to strike out on our own just a bit,” said Sora.

“I agree. Let’s get in contact with Mimi again, and let her know sensei is back. Where’s she living anyhow?” said Taichi.

“Turtle Cove.” Answered Jyou. “We email a lot, but servers are really slow.”


Danny was running late again to his flower shop opening, but at least he was able to make it there on time with the new hired help. The girl he met was a great help, and she knew her flowers.

“Sorry I’m late!” apologized Danny as he ran into the store, doffing his Wild Force jacket for an apron.

“It’s alright,” said Mimi with a smile, looking up from the store computer. “I was just preparing the till.”

Danny nodded, smiling widely. At least she was a good worker, and did her job well. She was allowed email and he was allowed to run off at various points of the day. “That’s good.”

“So how was last night?” inquired Mimi.

Danny rubbed his head, chuckling. “Two Orgs at once. I think Master Org is getting desperate.”

“Mmm,” said Mimi, nodding. She had met Danny actually during a battle and surprised them all by defending herself easily against a few of the foot soldiers that the Orgs employed. He offered her a job and she accepted. “I got a call from my friends too. Seems that the portals to the digital world have opened up.”

“Are they in need of help?” inquired Danny curiously.

“Not at the moment. And it seems they’ve gotten new teammates too,” added Mimi with a smile. “C’mon let’s open the store. We’ve got customers waiting.”


This was probably one of Daisuke’s most inglorious moments in his short tenure as a chosen. It wasn’t like say being a Green Lantern who had approximately five years of service before it was terminated post humorously with death, but it was close.

The laughing kid above him dressed in the silly looking cape, glasses and wild hair was grating on his nerves, and to boot he had his stuff! Daisuke was protective of his stuff.

“Daisuke!” exclaimed V-mon as he was brought out, similarly chained to the wall. “Wow, great view huh?”

If Daisuke could facepalm, he would. Where was that backup?


“Got it working Hayley?” asked Tommy on his cell phone.

“Just about. I had to route some code and ask a friend about digitization. Sam’s a genius at that.” Answered Hayley. “Alright I got it. They’re not going to work properly for too long, not without a bonding.”

“Do what you can. It’s jury-rigged right?”

“Biozords are ready and waiting on your command,” answered Hayley.

At that moment, Taichi walked in, looking pretty exhausted. “You would not believe how hard it is to get rid of Mr. Fujiyama.”

Tommy chuckled. “I’m sure it’s hard. Hey Taichi, did you ever play that simulator I sent you?’

“You mean the piloting one? Yeah I did,” said Taichi. “Why?”

“What score did you get?”

“About 84 percent.”

“That’s good enough. C’mon, we’re going to give the others some giant robot backup.”

As the pair vanished into the computer screen, Taichi’s last words were “I get to drive the red one right?”


In any other world, Miyako and Iori would have gotten their digimon and rescued Daisuke and other weird things would happen. They got their digimon of course, and their digitama, but that’s where the similarity ended.

It was here that when the controlled Drimogimon stormed into view that a shaking could be heard across the landscape, accompanied by a piercing yell that put the chill of Jurassic Park into people. “What was THAT?” demanded Miyako, already on edge.

“It looks like… backup?” said Iori.

The older chosen turned around and Takeru whistled. “Backup indeed.”

The Digimon Kaiser who had been watching from afar scowled. It wasn’t fair! When did the other players in HIS game get giant robots?

From the black brachio zord that was being controlled by Tommy, the side opened up as a large red Tyrannosaurus raced into view. “Ken-chan, I think we need to retreat,” said Wormmon.

“No way, this is my world! I created it, I can just simply control it!” Dark rings spiraled out and bounced off the thick hide.

“HEY! Kaiser! Leave my friends alone!” shouted Taichi from inside the cockpit, clearly loving this. He was feeling the strain of having to control the biozord with only a tentative connection to the Red part of the grid, but at the same time, he loved this all the same.

“I want one,” said Koushiro as the battle of giant robot vs controlled digimon began.


“I made certain to let Anton know what we were doing with the biozords,” said Tommy as the group materialized back in the real world. “They’ll be controllable from your D3’s now.”

“Sweet,” said Taichi, flushed and grinning. “I told you I was a red!”

Sora rolled her eyes. “If anything Taichi you’re more of an orange.” A pause. “Is there an orange in the grid?”

“Not yet,” replied Tommy. “So kids, sorry for stealing your thunder.”

“Eh, we froze up,” said Miyako, ducking her head.

“We did manage to save Daisuke though,” said Iori placatingly. “Speaking of which, who are you Dr. Oliver?”

“Just a science teacher,” replied Tommy cryptically.
