//------------------------------// // Prologue- Part 3 // Story: Sunset: Agent of DATS // by PK-Pony 2002 //------------------------------// In another part of the building we see Sunset's friend Evan Smith talking to someone while they head to the parking area. "So, did Commander Luna say where the D.T.U agents were located?" Evan asks, having been recruited almost a month ago after having rescued his partner from the Digimon Termination Unit, an illegal organization that has the mission of illegally capturing, experimenting and deleting Digimon. The man Evan is talking to is known as Aaron Hope, a 22 year old man with pale skin, blue eyes and short dirty blond hair. He currently wears the DATS uniform. "Yeah, they're near that new game store that opened up about a week ago." Aaron says, causing Evan to pale. "There are lots of people in that area, if a battle against them breaks out there, we could have a problem. Not to mention the use of memory adaptation was outlawed by the government because of how it's not good for people's health." Evan says, also wearing the DATS uniform. Aaron nods his head grimly at that. "Yeah, I know, which is why we need to apprehend them without Digivolving our partners." Says Aaron, making Evan look worried. "What do we do if they Digivolve their partners then? We both know they have those re-designed Data Link Digivices and won't hesitate to use them." Says Evan as they reach Aaron's car. "Well, the no Digivolving rule for this mission has the exception of if the D.T.U does it first. That's the only exception though." Aaron says. "So, the plan is go the suspected D.T.U sight and try to take them down without Digivolving our partners?" Evan asks, a frown on his face. "Yeah, pretty much." Aaron says with a sigh, starting his car and putting his seatbelt on, Evan doing the same thing. "Here's to hoping nothing goes wrong." Evan says. Back with Sunset, we see that she's lost sight of the guys in an area with abandoned warehouses. "Great, I lost sight of them. Now what?" She asks herself, before noticing one of the warehouse doors is opened when it shouldn't be. "Well, that's as big a clue as any." Sunset says, quietly walking towards the warehouse, being careful to not be seen. Not noticing a 24 year old man with black hair and brown eyes wearing a jacket with the DATS logo on it. With him is a Digimon known as Kokuwamon. "Is she the one the Sovereign have noticed David?" Asks Kokuwamon. "Yeah, let's just hope she's up to the task ahead." Says the man we now know is named David, clutching an empty Data Link in one of his hands. When Sunset reaches the warehouse, she carefully looks through one of the windows making sure not to be seen if anyone is in there. In the warehouse, she sees several of the guys along with more people working on a strange gate-like machine. She can also hear some of them talking to each other. "What's the status on the Digital Gate?" One of the guys asks to a man who is clearly a scientist. "It's nearly complete. All we need is for the others to capture the specimen known as Raptor One." Says the scientist. "Excellent, once they capture Raptor One, we will open the Digital Gate and capture as many Digimon as possible." Says the man talking to the scientist. When Sunset was done listening she slowly backed away from the window, not wanting to be spotted and having recording the conversation. "Okay, now I need to take this to the proper authorities. But who are the proper authorities in this case? The Men in Black?" Sunset asks sarcastically. "No, but I could use your help." Says a voice, causing Sunset to freeze, before turning around. Sure enough, David is behind her and Sunset is about to have a panic attack. "Calm down, I'm not here to harm you. But I do need your help." David says, trying to keep his voice even, as to not scare her anymore than he probably already had. "M-my help? Why do you need my help?" Sunset asks, calming down somewhat. "I can handle the guys in the warehouse, but I need you to track down the specimen they called Raptor One." Says David. "How do I do that though? Who or what they're looking for could be anywhere." Sunset says, knowing her chances of finding Raptor one are slim by herself. That's when he hands her the empty Data Link Digivice. "Use this, it's a Data Link. I've set it to track down Raptor One. All you need to do is follow the signal." David says, making Sunset look at him with a confused look. "Why are you asking me for help? Why not the Police, or the FBI?" Questions Sunset. "I don't have much time to explain, but I will get in contact with you again as soon as I can. But you have to trust me on this." David says, earning a hesitant nod from Sunset. "Okay." Sunset says. "Good, now follow the signal and I'll handle things from here." Says David. Sunset then looks at the Data Link and begins following the signal, leaving David seemingly by himself. At least that's what Sunset thinks. Once Sunset is out of sight, David pulls out a black Data Link Digivice. "Kokuwamon, realize!" David says, releasing his partner from his Digivice. "Ready?" Asks David. "David, we've been partner for 14 years, you should know that I'm ready." Says Kokuwamon David nods. "Right, Digisoul Full Charge!" David says, his hand getting covered in black data particles. To Be Continued...
