"She's... taking a break. Between work and keeping tabs on CODE, she was starting to look to much like I did a few days ago."

"We've all been doing our due diligence," said Renee. "But I doubt even machine digimon can work forever."

"Too true. On the plus side, we've managed to glean some useful stuff in our investigation. Like you and Al explained, the idea of implanting a program directly into a human is solid. BlackRenamon's trick with Al back at the junkyard node's proof of that. Creating a schematic for such a program is where it gets tricky. I had Eyes dig into the node's activity logs with RustGauntmon's help, since he's the new admin, but the data Brena used to design her program was encrypted, and we had to quarantine it just to be sure it wasn't boobytrapped with malware."

Renee nodded. "You did the right thing. I wouldn't trust anything that had Dark Area influence on it."

"There might be a work-around, though, with Manticoremon. Gazimon was able to learn a lot about Pe'amon's curse after absorbing that digimon's data. If we could just keep him from going on a rampage long enough to eat the encrypted files, we might be able to get somewhere."

Renee took that moment to press her lips to Al cheek. "Don't I know it," she whispered in his ear.

At last, the latest traffic jam began moving again. None of the trio, however, noticed when a figure on the sidewalk disappeared into an alleyway; A Hawaiian figure with crimson eyes and a vulpine, tribal tattoo.

...

"++This is lôlô++" grumbled Kamapua'amon.

"Himbo says what?"

"++What?++"

A shadow crossed Malie's face as she grinned from ear to ear, the longhaired tamer erupting into a cackle as her partner realized the trick.

Barring Ike, Gaz, and Keilani, the group had gathered in the living room of the clubhouse. Even with the blinds closed, the midday sunlight bled through, bathing the room in a beige glow as every sat down.

"++Malie, that's not fair!++" snapped the masked giant.

"And neither is griping," she said. "At least on the TV, you're not bouncing dat fat ass all over the place."

"++Gck-! My ass is pure muscle! If it jiggles, it's only 'cuz there's so much of it!++"

"HA!!"

"++Wait--! Uoki!!++"

"So how've you three been?" asked Vivi, the girl turning to face Al and Renee. Gammy was still raiding the kitchen fridge.

3
Al's mental image soon took a life of its own, show casing Kahunimon putting the teen in a headlock as she ruffled his hair.

"Not that I couldn't disguise myself as a human," said Renee, smiling. "Though it would take some practice."

("Truth be told,") she then thought. ("I still believe Kamapua'amon's drawing power directly from Lonomon's Ki'i. As long as it's stuck in Malie's storage, there's no way to cut him off.")

4
"Assuming he wants to turn back. He seems to like all the attention he's getting from being an Ult."

"Being digivolved makes you really hungry, too, though" said Gammy. "How's Malie keep the fridge full?"

"Probably substitutes something in his diet," reasoned Renee. "He's not as much of a plant as he used to be, but he may still get nourishment from photosynthesis to some extent."

...

"Yeah, sure," said Gazimon. "Have a beach." Hanging up, the chimera then looked over his shoulder towards Ike's stacked mattress bed. The blond tamer groaned through the pillow his face was buried in, a pack of ice resting atop his rear. "More ice, boss?"

...

"Ohhh," said the ceratops. "Are we hookying the clubhouse?"

Renee chuckled. "No, Gammy," she said. "Not unless you want an earful from Kei-kei."

"Aww...!"

"Though that does raise an interesting question," she said, facing Al. "With Eyesmon busy helping out with the Ghostmon, we may need to be more careful about covering our tracks. I doubt Brena would risk compromising us, but there's no guarantee CODE hasn't picked up on something."

6
The strangeness of Gazimon's words, as well as the inflections in his voice, began to paint a picture in Al's mind. Clearly, the chimera wasn't telling the whole truth. His initial vagueness had a drone to it, only to change to very specific and rushed after a chatter-filled pause. This meant, in Al's mind, that Ike really couldn't come to the phone, but Gaz was keeping the true reason under wraps. But why? Clearly, Ike was there since Gazimon needed the tamer to access his digivice -- and Ike, while not always a genius -- would never risk using a normal phone when digimon stuff was involved. Then, like triple-bolts of lightning, it struck him.

("He's still recovering from yesterday,") thought Renee, drawing the exact same conclusion. ("The cover story was probably in case anyone besides us was listening in.")

"Guys?" said Gammamon, glancing between the pair. "Hey, what's hooky?"

[Roll Decipher Intent]

...

The drive over to the clubhouse was hectic as the lunchtime rush brought people out to grab takeout. Not even halfway over, Al got a call from Ike via digivice.

"++Hey guys++" said Gazimon. "++Me and the Boss ain't comin' over++"

"Gaz?" said Renamon, the vulpine sitting shotgun in her human guise. "Why? What's wrong?"

"++He's, um, ah, outta commission. Prolly sick or somethin'++" The chimera paused. Al could hear chatter in the background. "++Y-yeah, and, er, there's a cop on the street nearby. Don't wanna risk him gettin' caught playin' hooky!++"

"What's hooky?" asked Gammamon, the ceratop sitting in Renee's lap.

9
The vulpine gave a singular bounce of her tush as Al made contact; crooning inside his head.

"Well okay," said Keilani, pulling out her digivice. "I've still got errands to run, but if you take Gammy with you, I promise to bring snacks for everyone."

"YEAH!!" cheered Gammamon. "Burgers for days!"

"Heheh, we'll see."

10
Chuckling, the vulpine winked at her tamer, who felt a phantom kiss on the cheek.

"Can I help?" asked Gammy, the ceratop having cornered Cinnamon only to lose her the second he looked over his shoulder at the others.

"Aww," said Kei. "That's so sweet of you, Gammy. What do you think, Rena? Can he be your special helper today?"

"Of course, I wouldn't mind at all."

She then glanced back at Al. ("Mhmhmhm, unless you'd rather a one-on-one tutor session,") she thought.

11
"Maybe later," she said. "The thing with node side-tracked me from visiting the observatory, and now the hang-gliding session we got planned's coming up, too. Depending on how research's going with the Ghostmon, there's just not enough time if we've also gotta be ready for action."

"Very true," said Rena. "Also, Mr. Sonson, you've still got school work to catch up on. Eyesmon might do the test for you, but life's not letting you off the hook that easily."

12
In response, Renamon smiled, eyes closed, as her tail arched and landed flat on his face.

"Hm? Dad's old partner?" asked Keilani.

"That's right," said Rena. "He really was a hero to Cypher Bay's digimon."

Keilani sighed. "Guess so. Shame we never got to meet him or Mom's partner."

"Have you tried contacting him since last time?"

"No, there's just been too much going on around here. Plus dad would probably cry if we didn't tell him beforehand."

13
The more Al tried, the more Cinnamon screamed before Renamon scratched at the base of the feline's tail. Instantly, Cin bent her head back and started licking the air, only to break into a spin on the bed and dash under Al's desk.

"Someone's got the zoomies today," said Kei, chuckling. "But yeah, from what I remember, Weiss was pretty selfless. Was afraid he'd try to make a martyr of himself near the end."

14
"Yeah!" said Gammy, the sudden noise jolting Cin into cry out; jumping and latching right onto Al's face like a sci-fi horror beast! "Oops."

Renamon recoiled. ("I'd ask if that hurt,") she thought, the pinpricks of tiny claws like burning embers against Al's skin. ("If I didn't already know.")

15
The calico paused, lowering her head to sniff at the offered appendage, only to pap at Al's fingers with her paw.

"He didn't stay very long," said Keilani. "Actually, he's the reason we survived the whole meteor thing. He's also more dragon than dinosaur, really big wings on his back. Fast in the air, too. Like REALLY fast."
