(Tamers) Inaba - Deductions

[Candescence]

In a darkened room in the Inaba PD, where a computer was still on, a flash came from the computer, and two figures emerged from it... Namely, Toru Adachi, and his partner, Kotemon, the pair having finally managed to leave the Digital World.


"Whew! Finally outta there!" Adachi smiled, wiping his forehead. "Shame I had to leave that cute little guy behind, but..." However, he had no idea if Calumon had secretly tagged along. Knowing him, he probably did.


"Hmm? Leave who behind, Adachi?"


"... Uh-oh."


A figure emerged from behind the door, flicked on the light switch, and crossed his arms.




"Because I would really like to know."


"D-D-Dojima-san!" I am so totally screwed... Kotemon's probably gonna make it worse...!

Peeking out over Adachi's shoulder, Kotemon noticed this Dojima character, waving at him.

[Candescence]

"I-I can explain my disappearance! Honestly!"


Dojima did not seem to notice Kotemon at first. "Uh-huh. Lemme guess. Digimon."


"Yeah, ex-"


"WHA?!"


Dojima chuckled. "Don't think I don't know about Digimon being real. My nephew thinks I don't know about the Kotemon he's partnered with. And that Hanamura kid isn't exactly the best at hiding his own partner, a Floramon, but nobody seems to figure it out. Funny how you've got a Kotemon, too."


Souji has a Kotemon, too? Adachi blinked. "Okay... Kote, I don't think you should hide anymore. Kotemon, meet my boss, Ryotaro Dojima. Dojima-san, this is my partner, Kotemon."

"Nice to meet you, Mister Dojima!" Kotemon chirped happily, bouncing to the floor. "Adachi-baby's been taking really good care of me!"

[Candescence]

Dojima could only help but chuckle at the nickname. "Nice to meet you, too."


"Okay, now that you've been acquainted-"


"You're gonna go help me find my nephew."


It took a few seconds for this statement to sink in. "Wait, what?!"


Dojima sighed, as he sat down on a nearby chair. "Souji and his partner have both been sucked into... Some kind of portal, according to Nanako. There's also been reports of two disappearences in Junes via what were apparently freak portals as well, the people who were sucked in were identified as Yosuke Hanamura and Chie Santonaka. I was afraid something similar might've happened to you, but it looks like you found your way back."


"Oh... That... That doesn't sound good."

[YolkaEd]

@kotemon@

"What, so more of Adachi-baby's friends went to play?" Kotemon presumed. "We have to go find them; otherwise, we won't get to play, either!"

[Candescence]

"D-Don't mind him, sir, he thinks everything is one big game."


"Still..." He got off the chair. That's when one would notice that there was two, fully-loaded shotguns on the table, plus plenty of ammunition. "Grab one, make sure you've got plenty of pistol clips-"


"Whoa, whoa, wait a second!" This was overwhelming Adachi. "Are you saying we're going to the Digital World to look for them?! Also, the shotguns... I don't think they'll be much use."


"Adachi, how long have you been a Tamer?"


"Only as long as today, sir."


"Then no doubt your partner is only capable of reaching Champion level, if I know anything about Digimon at all, and there are much deadlier beasts out there..." He grabbed a shotgun, and hung it on his back. "Yes, we are gonna search. We'll need all the firepower we can get, just in case we run into something even he can't handle. They may be powerful, but chances are, even some have got to be weak to bullets."

[YolkaEd]

@kotemon@

"Are you sure?" Kotemon hummed, as he tilted his head. "Because there's a lot of huge Digimon there who like to play a lot, like massive rhinos, moles, golems, vampires, whales, and much more!"

[Candescence]

He looked at Kotemon, then at Adachi. "So... How many of those would you say are susceptible to bullets?"


"All but the golems, I suppose. Maybe the vampires."


"Well, if it has flesh... I guess bullets will work."


"Look, Dojima-san... It's gonna be dangerous... What about Nanako?!"


"I know it's dangerous but... Like I told Nanako, I owe Souji. He's brought me closer to my daughter than I ever have since my wife was killed. I owe it to him to help him get out of whatever predicament he's in, alive. Nanako knows this. I'm gonna make sure I'll bring Souji, Yosuke and Chie back safely, no matter what the risk."

@kotemon@

"...well, suit yourself!" Kotemon shrugged with a small giggle. "Though, unless you have a Digimon, you're going to be really roughed up during the games!"

[Candescence]

Adachi nodded. "I agree. Even with those shotguns..."


"Look, I'll be fine. As I said, they're a last resort, if we can't flee from a battle." Dojima sighed. "What's important... Is bringing those three back safely." He looked at Adachi. "However... The main problem is... Where to start?"


Something came to mind immediately. "Actually... I think I know a place we can start from." He looked at Kotemon. "Why don't we head back to Pixiemon's place?"

[YolkaEd]

@kotemon@

"...we can visit the yep-yep-fairy?" Kotemon uttered, before squeeing. "That's gonna be so cool, Adachi-baby!"

[Candescence]

"Yep-yep fairy?"


"Pixiemon. Don't worry, he may be small, but he's powerful, and quite knowledgeable. If anything, he'll probably know how to contact the Digidestined."


"Sensible idea, actually... They might be able to help us find them.""


"Right." He picked up a shotgun and some ammo, checked he had enough pistol ammo, and then pulled out what looked like a Digivice, pointing it at the PC screen. "Digital Gate, Open!"

A shining light appeared from the screen, which sucked in Adachi...


"ADACHI!" Dojima immediately made sure he had enough firepower as well, and dived into the gate along with him.
