(Savers) Noguchi Household - Portal Activate

[Candescence]

On the outskirts of Tokyo, a happy family live together, the Noguchis. The son, Ikuto, was once missing for ten years, but he came back. However... With his latest disappearence, the mood is not so fine.

However, this mood is interuppted by two figures coming out of the father's computer. Kenji Noguchi, the portly Japanese man who was working on something, found himself underneeth Suguru Damon and BanchoLeomon.

@kenji@
"GAH! What the... Suguru?!"


"Kenji-san! Why are you here at-" He got off his friend, looking around. "Oh. We're at the wrong place. Something must've gone wrong."


"Agreed." BanchoLeomon got off Kenji as well, helping the man up... And moving him out of the way. "We're expecting two more coming through."

@kenji@
"Wha... What's going on?! How'd you...?"

[AnT]

@izzy@ "AAAAAAAGH!!!" from the beam out of the computer, Izzy blasted out, tumbling across the room till he hit a wall. "Owww...."

@tentomon@ Fluttering over Izzy, he was glad he can fly. "Izzy! Are alright?"

@izzy@ "Just as soon as I stop seeing two of you..."

[Candescence]

Suguru looked at Izzy, helping the boy to his feet. "Take a minute to recover, there's no rush."

@kenji@
"Wha... Digimon?! And who is this?"


"Don't worry, Kenji, they're friends. He's helping me in my investigation. And I think I have a lead on where your son is. This is Izumi Koushiro, fellow Digimon expert, and his partner, Tentomon."

@kenji@
"Ah, I see..." Kenji sat down on his chair. "If Suguru trusts you, then so can I. I'm Kenji Noguchi. I know a thing or two about Digimon myself, but my wife and I are primarilly experts on portal technology. Suguru, care to explain where my son might be?"


"On another world. A parallel universe, no less."

@kenji@
Kenji was surprised, but he thought about it, and... "That... Makes a surprising amount of sense."

[AnT]

@tentomon@ "I guess you're used to the Digimon thing, huh? Well, if you are, then yeah, that would make a whole lot of sense."

@izzy@ "Ugh..." Sitting up, Izzy managed to gather back his bearings. "I guess we're at the destinated area."

[Candescence]

"Well, sort-of. We're on the right Earth, just not the right... Ah, nevermind. We can sort that out later. Kenji, we might need your help." Suguru looked at his friend.

@kenji@
He raised an eyebrow. "I take it the world you're going to can't be accessed the way you came here by?"


"It may not, because it doesn't have a Digital World to access. We may need the portal you and Misuzu have in your basement in order to get there. Also, I'll be back in a second, I need to grab some things from home, provided that the Digi-Port goes to the right destination this time..."

@kenji@
"Well, be thankful there's a new head of the Confidentiality Ministry, otherwise I'd be risking my neck to help you. But if its to find Ikuto, then of course I will help." He got up from his chair, nodding. He walked over to the doorway, calling out, "Misuzu! We have guests!"


Suguru nodded to Izzy, activating the Digi-Port using Kenji's computer, and heading to the Digital World again, using said world as a mid-point to get to the Damon household quickly...

[AnT]

@tentomon@ "Think we should follow?"

@izzy@ Standing up, Izzy rubbed his head. "Well, he said he'll be back." He wondered if the Digi-Port program had a glitch if they arrived at the wrong place. Or perhaps it was a first time mistake. It happens...

Anywho, remembering he was with other people, "Uh...hey...sorry about all this..."

[Candescence]

@kenji@
He looked at Izzy, with a smile. "Don't worry about it. You're welcome here if you're helping Suguru find my son."

@misuzu@
At that point, his wife entered the room, surprised to see Izzy and the two Digimon. "Oh, my... How did they...?"

@kenji@
"Suguru can explain when he gets back." He smiled to her, and then looked at Izzy. "This is my wife, Misuzu. Misuzu, this is Izumi Koushiro and Tentomon, and you remember BanchoLeomon. They're helping Suguru find Ikuto and the others."


Speaking of Suguru, he appeared out of the computer monitor again, but this time, another person was with him, a woman, and he held onto her tightly to protect her from the inevitable crash. He helped her up, looking at Izzy. He was also wearing a large backpack, like the one he used to wear during the Digital World expedition. "I got my stuff... And my wife insisted on coming along. Izzy, meet Sayuri. Sayuri, this is Izzy, and Tentomon."

@sayuri@
She smiled. "It's a pleasure to meet you." She also noticed BanchoLeomon. "It's also good to see you too, BanchoLeomon."


"Likewise."

@kenji@
He then rubbed his hands together. "Right! Now that we're all aquainted, we need to get to work, if you wish to get to that other dimension."

[AnT]

@tentomon@ "Why I'm charmed, ma'am." Tentomon greeted, fluttering to her.

@izzy@ "Well first, I need to establish communications link between this world, my world, and the new world." Removing his bag, Izzy took out his laptop and laid it on the floor. "Just give me a moment to set up my wireless connection,"

[Candescence]

@kenji@
"Of course, of course. The wireless connection here is actually pretty good, it'll hopefully be enough for what you need to do." Kenji sat down at his computer, thinking about something.

@sayuri@
She smiled at Tentomon, and looked at Suguru. "By the way, if you managed to go to the Digital World... Did you see Marcus?"


Suguru shook his head. "No. Not yet. In fact, I suspect he's not in the Digital World anymore."


"I can personally attest to the fact that Marcus Damon and Agumon apparently disappeared from the Infinity Ice Ridge. There was evidence there of a recent battle that occured that involved GeoGreymon." BanchoLeomon was now sitting down in the corner. "I think they may be on this 'Pokemon-earth' as well."


"I'd be surprised if this wasn't the case, personally."

@sayuri@
Sayuri thought about things for a moment, before asking, "Misuzu, can I use the kitchen?"

@misuzu@
"Of course. You're going to make fried eggs for Agumon, aren't you?" She chuckled.

@sayuri@
"You know me too well. Suguru is going to deliver them when he finds Marcus and Chika." She was about to walk out the door, but she stopped, to look at Izzy and Tentomon. "I'll make something for you boys as well." She then went out to the kitchen.

[AnT]

@izzy@ "Uh...thank you, ma'am." Izzy obliged as he had internet connection. He was quite impressed how fast the service was. So quick and smooth, it was almost like he was in the future. In fact, some of the tech here, even the computers looked rather advanced. They even had those plasma TVs on the wall he heard about. Only the rich had that. Again, he lives in 2002.

"Using a data-link from here, it'll allow a friend of mine, named Gennai, to have access to your Digital World so we can set communications from here, like back at my world."

The monitor then displayed: 'Link Complete'.

"Prodigious! We now have communications access in this world."

@tentomon@ "I like my eggs over easy, if you would, ma'am!" Tentomon called.

[Candescence]

"Great! That should make things easier for us. I might as well call up Satsuma and let him know what's going on." Suguru walked over to the nearest phone, and called DATS HQ. "Satsuma? It's Suguru. You're not going to believe this..."

@kenji@
He realised that BanchoLeomon had said something about 'Pokemon-Earth'. "Pokemon? Is that some new kind of Digimon?"


"In some ways they are similar, but Pokemon are a different type of creature. They're organic, for starters."

@kenji@
He thought about it for a moment. "So those are the new 'Digimon' popping up out of nowhere. That explains it... Well, they obviously don't belong here, so we'll need a way to send them back."


"Way ahead of you. We're trying to figure out how to send all the Pokemon back simultaneously."

@misuzu@
She walked over, nodding. "Our portal prototype has come a long way since five years ago. We were originally aiming to create a way to enter the Digital World without damaging the fabric between the two worlds, but along the way we discovered it could have other potential applications."

[AnT]

"It might," Izzy said, still focused on the computer while typing. "We're figuring out how it will, though,"

[Candescence]

@kenji@
He nodded. "Yes. Though, it might be more capable of inter-dimensional travel than how you somehow managed to travel to the Digital World just before, but..."


Suguru continued talking on the phone. "Satsuma, you're taking this surprisingly well. Anyway, how's everyone else? Wait, what do you mean Yoshino disappeared too?!"

@misuzu@
"Well, it seems someone else has disappeared." She sighed. "Reminds me of 15 years ago, when we first discovered the Digital World. People were disappearing without a trace, including our newborn son, Ikuto. Kenji and I joined an expedition to the Digital World to find the missing people, but we never found him, until he returned ten years later, having been raised by Digimon. A good deal of the expedition was horrible, thanks to that trigger-happy coward Kurata, who just fired on any Digimon who just even looked remotely threatening, and only made things worse for us. I just didn't think he'd go as far as to try to commit genocide on the Digimon ten years later and actually get the Japanese government on his side in the process."


"Ah, Kurata, a man we'd rather forget. If it wasn't for him, humans and Digimon might actually be living in harmony right now. Such a dream, unfortunately, will have to be delayed until travel between the two worlds is stable."

[AnT]

@tentomon@ "Oh my! I kinda think its better off for now," Tentomon spoke, buzzing around the group. "It's not easy when Digimon became public knowledge. Lot of kids like to pull my wings. Why, there're crazy anti-Digimon groups who think someone like me brainwashed Izzy to do my bidding." The bug then chuckled. "Me? Imagine that, huh? Why, not even the ants would even listen to my great lounge singing."

[Candescence]

@kenji@
He laughed at what Tentomon said. "Sadly, that does not surprise me. Digimon are not entirely blameless. There's Yggdrasil, who decided to destroy the human world, and somewhere along the line, a Digimon named Argomon had the bright idea of putting every human in the real world into a deep sleep. It worked... Kind of. The Digimon partners of the DATS team took him on. I was laughing when I heard that Agumon actually managed to knock him off his perch, Argomon was an Ultimate! Then Marcus punched Argomon in the face, digivolved Agumon to ShineGreymon Burst Mode, and they wiped the floor with him."


"Alright, see you soon." Suguru hung up, and looked at the others. "Captain Satsuma now knows the details. We can set up communications with DATS HQ in due time."

@misuzu@
"Well, that's good. But inter-dimensional travel isn't as simple as setting up a portal between the Digital and real worlds. It's more complex than setting up a link between two locations in space and time, and the two worlds are already linked through the world's communications networks. Two unlinked worlds... Much harder."

[AnT]

@izzy@ "Right," said Izzy, still focused on the computer. "It was only possible to cross between our Digital Worlds, since Gennai and I are far familiar with it. The data we obtained from a man named Cyrus had such information. But getting to his world, that's the trick we need to master."

[Candescence]

Suguru paced around. "That particular world must have a unique property that we can lock onto. While it is harder, different dimensions must have some kind of way to identify 'where' they are, much like coordinates."

@kenji@
He tapped his chin. "Izzy, is there anything unique about that particular dimension, in that sense, that sets it apart from the others, to your knowledge?"

[AnT]

@izzy@ "Alls I know it's similar to the real world. However, theory from that man, Cyrus, suggest it used to be half of a Digital World."

Snapping his fingers, Izzy typed away. "That reminds me. I need to see how my friends are doing. They're battling that man, right now. I given them special type of ear-pieces that have a built-in camera for me to see what's going on."

A window popped open, showing darkness blowing away like fog, zooming in on a trio of mighty dragons floating in the dark space, in such powerful dark aura. On top of them appeared to be sinister-looking humans with their own creatures.

@tentomon@ "What are those, Izzy?"

@izzy@ Snapping his Digivice on the slot above the keyboard, "I'm getting nothing. They must be Pokemon."

[Candescence]

Cue crowding around the screen to see what was going on. There really wasn't much space.


"Those dragons look powerful. I hope your friends know what they're doing. If Marcus was with them, I'd want to tell him to punch that douchebag in the face for me." Oh, did he not have a clue who was really with them...

@kenji@
"Those are Pokemon...? Hmm. I can certainly see how someone could get confused by the resemblence."


"But the question is, where are they, and what exactly are they fighting...?"

[AnT]

@izzy@ "Hm," Izzy can see many other Pokemon and Digimon coming up, facing these beasts. Many he knew well, while some he didn't, but the adults would certainly know of them.

"I'll find out," He said, putting on a mic headphone.
