Chapter 10: First Day of Event Part - 1
Al rush to the kitchen after Renamon told him that his mother finally awoke. He looked for a bucket or other similar in the kitchen for his mother's vomit. The first thing pop in to his mind was to look at the sink. It usually has a small closet below the sink where the plumber fixes the drain. He opens the closet door and found what he was looking for. A small bucket with a sponge, a rug, and a brush in it.
"Got it!" he said and grabbed the bucket and throw away what's inside of it to the side of him. He heard that his mother was about to hurl. In panic he rushed to her mother with the empty bucket and said, "Hold on a little longer, mom!" Somehow his mother didn't hear him and started to hurl louder until she was unable to contain any longer. Thus she start to vomit, flooding the floor with her digested food last night for several seconds. "OH MAAAN!!" yelled Al in agony while she vomiting. "YOU DID IT AGAIN, MOM!!"
"Morning, dear," said mother feeling better after vomiting. "Do you have to yell that loud in front of me?"
"Look mom, I'm sorry that I yelled at you. It's just that you always vomit every time you arrive at home." He said trying to be calm a little, "It's really not nice to give your only child a hard labor on Sunday."
"I'm really sorry about that, dear," replied mom and then hold her head for her headache. "Guess I had too much to drink that's why I still hurling."
"Your unbelievable, mom," said Al and then went to the kitchen and grabbed a mop and water in the bucket he held before. "The aspirin is on the table, mom. I've prepare it this early morning."
"Early morning?" she asked while grabbing the pills and glass of water to drink it. "That's not very usual for you to wake that early."
"Well it was a bad dream, mom." He replied and then started mopping the floor, "That's why I awake so early. You should cut the beer. It's bad for your health."
"I know, but the customer always offered me a drink or two, and eventually I got drunk." Said his mother and then went to the window to open it. A morning breeze blowing filling the house with a new air and also excising the foul smell of her vomit.
She inhaled the breeze deep filling her lungs with fresh air, "Hmm... fresh air in the morning really calm me down. So will you continue your slumber after that?"
All Al did was raising his shoulder with an express of ‘I haven't thought of that' from his whole body, still mopping the floor until it is clean.
"Well I would, because I got less sleep on weekdays. Thank goodness it is Sunday so good morning then." She continued and headed to her room where much further way from Al's room.
Then he remembered that his door was wide open which makes him gasp in silent when his mother went to her room by passing his. But Al remains silent and observing her reaction when she passes his room, no responds so far. After his mother went into her room with a sound of door closing, he rushed to his front room still holding the mop. What he saw was a complete relief because his door was closed. After that he continued moping the floor until it was clean and shining thanks to his effort for 15 minutes.
He went directly to the kitchen, cleaning the mop, bucket and himself and then grabbed some breads and a bottle of water for Renamon. Then he went back to his room. He opened the door and saw that Renamon was sitting at the window looking at the beautiful Sunday morning.
"Nice view isn't it?" he asked while closing the door slowly.
"Not much." She said without removing her view, "when you compare it to the Digital World." She turned her head and looked at Al bringing more bread and water.
"Um... yeah. I think you are right," said Al without a second thought. "Anyway, sorry for bring in more breads. It is the only thing I can get for an unwanted guest without anyone suspicion."
"I can understand with that." She replied and then walks grabbing one of the bread. And then went silent for a minute or two.
"So, are you going home to your tamer today? The sky is clear right now." He asked trying to get another conversation.
"Not really." She replied while munching the bread.
"What do you mean?" he asked wondering her answer.
"Someone will pick me up." She replied. "And that is all I can say for now. The rest is up to them and you."
"Okay... I'm completely lost right there. What do you mean it is up to me?" he asked her but she didn't answer. A moment later he heard a car came by at his front house. He looked outside just to see three women and a man step out of the red car, although that red car seems familiar.
Al looked at the man closely. Then suddenly he realizes that the man was Takato. Then that means that car belong to Miss Kari Kamiya. Thus without any more doubts he saw that Kari came out of the car.
"Miss Kamiya?" said Al bluntly. "How did she find my home?"
He looked again and saw one of the women beside Kari took out something from her right side. She watches closely to the thing she took for a moment and then walks to Al's entrance house. Al dashed right toward the door before the door bell rang. But no avail as the bell rang before he reached it. Al yell, "I'll get it!" while running didn't care whether his mother heard him or not.
Al open the door and greet his teacher and her friends which he didn't recognize the other three. "Morning Miss Kamiya. What a surprise to see you in the morning at my house." He then looked at Takato, "Morning Mister Takato." Then he looked at the three new faces. "And who are they?"
"They are my friends, Alphonse. And good morning to you too," replied Kari with a smile.
"I see. Well then come in and make yourselves at home." He said and opened the door widely and led them inside to the living room.
All of the guests looked around his house and they think it was quite decent. "It's not much that you can see in my house. Please, sit down. Can I get you something?" said Al with a smile and a little bit curious.
"Water will be fine." Replied a woman with a knot on her pale dark brown hair and the others nod.
"Okay then just a moment." Said Al and walked to the kitchen and another five minute brought five glasses of water. He served the drinks to the table.
"Sorry for the inconvenient everyone," said Al trying to start the conversation. "Miss Kamiya, Mister Takato. Do you mind introducing me to them?"
"Right," said Takato. "First off, the girl who asked for water, named Suzie." The dark pale brown girl greet with a wave. "The glee full woman next to her was Yolei." The long purple pony tail hair greets Al with a ‘Hi!' "And the cold silent type woman here is Rika." The red brown short hair didn't greet Al because she was glaring at Takato. "See what I mean? And these are our digimons." He said while taking a same device like the short hair woman Rika was looking before. "Guilmon, Lopmon, Impmon," Suzie took the same device as well except they were two with different color than Takato's, "and Hawkmon." Yolei took out her device again identical to Suzie and Takato.
"Hello there everyone," Al greet with a smile as well. "And where is yours, Miss Rika?"
"Oh... you've already met her yesterday." said Rika with a soft voice, very different when Takato told him before.
"You mean Renamon was yours?" he asked bluntly without a thought.
"Yes," another voice appears from behind Al, and that makes Al jump from his seat unable to withstand his surprise treatment. "I am her digimon."
"Argh... Do you have to do that all the time, Renamon?" yelled Al because he is angry at Renamon who use teleportation to reach him and the guests.
"Well. In my world, my race was known as a shadow assassin." She said with a smile then walks toward Rika. "So stealth and teleport is a basic skill we have."
"Oh yeah, well I will accept your reasons if they didn't give a heart attack again," said Al with a sarcastic tone. Takato nod his head while the girls laughing. "Anyway, back in to the topics at hand." Al looked at the guests for a moment in silent. "I expect that Miss Yolei, Miss Rika, and Suzie are having the same problem like you, Miss Kamiya?"
All of them looked at each other and nodded. "Yes, they are," said Kari as their representative. "We are, as you already know, the Digi Destiny. Each us has been bestowed with a partner to fight against evil. "
"For several years we keep the world at peace," said Yolei in a serious tone. "And now a new threat has consumed the earth again."
"But this time, it is in the game." said Suzie continued the next sentences.
"Even though it's just a game, it gave a lot of side effects to the Digital World," said Rika.
"Most Digimon has been corrupted by the game program and went berserk. Those who aren't were killed by the berserk Digimon." Said Takato continued the next sentences.
"And that's where we come in line," said Kari. "We tried to protect everyone not just in the game, but the tournament as well, just like you saw the event yesterday."
"However, as much as we tried to protect them," continued by Rika. "The glitches gave stronger effects to the real Digimon and thus paralyze them on the spot. And to make matters worse is it will become frequent."
"Forgive me for interruption. But there was a rabbit Digimon that didn't get the effect. How is that possible?" asked Al remembering yesterday event.
"Rabbit Digimon, you mean Antylamon?" asked Suzie. "He has a device that can protect him from the glitches. Our Digimon has the same equipment, except those who enter the battle stadium, because we don't want to get suspicious by the administrator."
"But seeing Angewomon and that Beelzeb-guy fell limp at the arena has raise enough suspicion, aren't they?" asked Al again.
"True. But the admin didn't watch the stadium directly," said Rika answering the questions. "They only watch it through data logs. So they didn't know if there are changes because of the glitches. Other than that, most people ignore it."
"Of course if someone from the admin came and watch it," said Yolei with laughter. "There is no way the admin will notice the glitches behind logs."
"What about in the game?" asked Al again. "Will they ever get suspicious too?"
"Well about that," said Takato shrugging his head for a while. "Since the admin gladly created an imitation for hunting purpose, it is very rare to see an infected Digimon attack humans. Of course the infection itself didn't happen very often."
"But how can you spot which one is infected and which one is not?"
"Weird question yet simple to answer," Said Rika, "The one that hasn't been infected was hiding without any human notice, while the infected one roams freely barraging the area."
"Man... I gave up." Said Al raising his hand didn't want to argue anymore with them. "Looks like what mister Takato said was true about you miss Rika. Plus, I can't win against adult and more experiences than me that have just start the game."
"Wise choice Alphonse," said Suzie with a smile.
"Please call me Al." corrected Al while holding his forehead feeling a little dizzy by their explanations. "I rather called by surname instead of full name."
"Alright, since I know all of your stories. What are your intentions on coming here with your ... partners?" asked Al after hearing enough all the problems he wanted to hear.
"We, the representative of the Digi Destiny, would like to invite you to join the team," said Takato with a serious tone.
