"Who knows, maybe they're saving us from something." Mimamoru tossed out the idea though she didn't really believe it herself. 

"No." Sarah shook her head and soon everyone was up. Mimamoru set her teacup down and looked to her team. Yasukazu and Sasha seemed concerned, as did Soshi and Satoru. [i]'I wonder how Michiko is doing.'[/i] She wondered and paced around, the carpet creating a soft padding sound as she went to and fro, from one side of the room to the other. Soshi knew they were being watching but by who? Sarah walked over and placed her hand on Mima's shoulder, stopping the long haired blond. "I know this is a helpless situation we're in but we'll figure this out together." Though she was new to the group, she had faith in the people she had grown close to. As she removed her hand, a small panel slid open, revealing a corner door. A man in a suit entered the room, the same one who had burst into Soshi's apartment. Mimamoru took a step forward, not sure how to defend herself and the others but she had to try, even without her online avatar to back her up.

"We'd like some answers, I think after kidnapping us, we're entitled to something." Soshi spoke up before Mima could.

"We had to be discrete with our retrieval." The man told the group.

"Retrieval?" Mimamoru repeated, puzzled.

"Before we explain everything, and we will, we have one more thing to take care of." The man in the suit said and put a hand to the small earpiece curled around his left ear. Mima looked back at the others. Her blond haired companion, Soshi, also moved beside her, unsure of what the man meant. Sarah stayed where she was but Yasukazu folded his arms, not wanting to play into their hand so easily. "I'll need you to log in with the systems we have here, in doing so, your avatars will integrate themselves into the DgtWld but your own Gvn won't be altered to the use of them." He said as his hand dropped, seeming to have heard whatever was being whispered into his ear. Mimamoru was unsettled, unsure as to why the ROM Gvn would want them to log in such a secretive manner. Mimamoru opened her mouth to inquire about whether not they should trust what he said but the man was quick to cut the leader off, "Comply and all will explained, if we see the right results."

"Fine..." Mima glanced to the others, unsure if she spoke for all of them in this situation.

"What results are you looking for?" Soshi spoke up once more.

"Why can't our Gvn known about this?" Yasukazu asked as he too was curious. The man remained silent and put his hand back to his earpiece and muttered something and then two men marched in, also wearing the same small pin that the brute had, the Romanian flag. The two men set down their large briefcases and began to set up their equipment. They were laptops and from them, large wires were taken out of the sides. 

"Sit and get comfortable so we can begin." The man said. "But first I will need Yasukazu Irie and Sarah Blaise to come with me."

"Why?" Mimamoru glared, not fond of these constant demands of them. Her protective instincts were struggling to keep control of the odd situation they were in. Then the door slid open again, this time it revealed familiar faces. "Michiko, Milos." She had no idea that the strange men had also picked them up. How? She wasn't sure if she should be happy or even more suspicious. A little of both wouldn't be so bad. "Are you guys alright?" She ran over and threw her arms around both of them, moving into the middle so her arms looped around their opposing shoulders. She pulled away and smiled. They had seen Michiko only a week ago when he mentioned he had family matters to attend to but Milos on the other hand had a long leave of absence. Supposedly, Milos was going to return after the holiday had settled down and the new year kicked off. She had been emailing him slowly, both shooting emails when they had the time. 

"It's time, Sasha, Yasukazu come with me." The man instructed again and the two slowly followed him out of the room, leaving the disjointed group alone with the two men who had finished setting things up, from the looks of things. Mimamoru relented and turned to sit on the couch. Soshi gave his old friends a smile before he sat down next to her. There were other seating options, the other couches or the beds, or even the carpets themselves. As everyone got comfortable, or as comfortable as they could, the silent men reached over and began to connect the thick coils to their MChips. Mima tensed up and looked to Soshi who just told her to relax and pretend that everything was normal, when in reality, nothing was normal. 

[i]'How long must we dangle like fish waiting to be slaughtered?'[/i] She thought.

As she felt a tug, she found herself shedding her human appearance and materializing in the DgtWld as E.G. Ice soon stood next to her in the cold vacant grid of numbers and coding. "What should we do now?" Ice wondered. He didn't have long to wait as the music kicked back up and the fearsome duo of Fright and Fury. "Oh great...them again." He muttered and readied himself for battle though he really didn't feel well rested enough to preform at optimum capacity. The strain brought upon them in real life couldn't be ignored in the DgtWld.

"Miss us?" Fury asked.

"I bet they did." Fright cackled.

"Guys, we need to handle this defensively..." E.G warned as she began to beef up a defensive spell. "Delta-J-3-9-R-Sigma-Q." It created a series of small shields around the users of her choosing. The shields would conform to the user's body and was nearly impenetrable. 

"Thanks." Ice called out to the pink haired girl. He wasn't sure if BreGle had even heard of Fright and Fury since it was information recently released but surely Fox was aware. He created several icy playing cards and threw them towards the pair who easily banished the poor attack away.

"Come on kids, you're not still tired..." Fright teased.

"Nope, are you?" E.G glared as she considered her options with possible offensive spells. Their dynamic had also changed, her mind was occupied by her missing friends, even though others had taken their place. This fight was the last thing any of them needed.
