You sighed as you kicked back in your computer chair. After a long day at school, it felt great to just relax your back into the soft cushion of your computing chair. It cost a pretty penny, but it was helpful as all hell on your back, especially with all the time you spent hunched over at your computer.
"Boss, hey boss!" a high pitched, excited voice called from the speakers of your computer. You cracked an eye open to see one of your digimon beaming at you from the most left monitor of the three you had set up.
Black Agumon, one of the two digimon you saved down in Kowloon when you first started going down there. You'd run into a pair of Pagumon brothers being chased down by a Goblimon who had wanted to destroy them and take their data.
You'd felt sorry for them, so ended up jumping the green goblin digimon from behind, stealing its club and beating the shit out of it with its own weapon. Since then, they'd stuck to you like glue, called you boss and did whatever you ordered them to, a bit too happily at times, especially Black Agumon, he just loved to fight.
"What's up Agumon?" You ask, swivelling around in your chair to look at him, "Any problems while I was out today?" you question, even if the odds are low. You're a pretty accomplished hacker, so much so that Zaxxon, the top hacker team running around Eden had wanted to recruit you at one point.
Which is why you weren't really afraid of anyone managing to hack into your private server, made just for you and your digimon to relax in together within Eden.
Hacker's you weren't afraid of. Digimon trying to cross over though, were a different matter. Sometimes, when they ended up in Eden, they could somehow tear through the defences of servers by sheer luck or instinct, either or, you weren't really sure, but sometimes they could just end up in your server no matter how secure.
So you generally left one of your digimon chilling in your server to protect it while you were at school or sleeping, just in case.
"Well, a Gazimon did end up in our server, but it was so tired out when it got here it was super easy for me to delete it and absorb its data." Black Agumon replied casually, "It's not fair boss, I didn't enjoy that fight at all, can we take a case on where we fight some digimon, please, please, please!"
You blinked slightly, huh. That was only the second time ever a digimon had made it into your server. To bad you weren't around though, Gazimon aren't really that tough, but they're fast as hell and have an awesome lightning based attack that could stun enemies, a great back up technique.
You sighed, oh well. Looking at Black Agumon, you gave him a nod, "If there's any decently paying jobs with fights we can take on, I suppose we can buddy." you reply, if your digimon wants a fight, who are you to deny him.
"Woohoo!" Black Agumon cheered, jumping up and down excitedly on screen.
Pulling your black digivice from your pocket, you held it up to your face, "What kind of jobs are we looking at today DemiDevimon?" you question.
The screen flickers on, and your second digimon appears.
Despite being brother digimon, they're entirely different in species after digivolving from Pagumon. And where Black Agumon loves to fight, DemiDevimon is incredibly pragmatic and will basically do anything needed to get a job done and see your goals accomplished.
"Eh, only got another few jobs today boss," he replied, "One is another delivery job for a Digi-egg and it doesn't pay much, but the other does actually involve some fighting and pays a decent ten thousand yen."
You almost sigh. You work alone, a side effect of the way you grew up with many selfish bully orphans always looking to get their hands on new shiny things, and the gangsters you ran with as a little boy doing odd jobs for - you don't trust easy.
So, because of that, other online case workers like the Hudie group and such tended to get much more customers than you. Especially since you know one of them runs with an Ultimate level digimon and can generally take on anything sent his way, while you only have a pair of Rookie's at the moment.
"What's the job? Who'll we be fighting?" You ask. If its anything above a rookie, no way. Your digimon could maybe take on a weak champion of the data type as they are now, especially since Black Agumon will have gotten a decent bint stronger thanks to that Gazimon, but you wouldn't risk it either way.
"Nothing too hard boss, we can definitely handle it," DemiDevimon sent him a toothy grin, "A pair of digimon ended up in some guys private server, a ToyAgumon and a Betamon, they beat up his own Digimon pretty badly and he had to run away."
Well, that shouldn't be too hard honestly. From what you know, thanks to scanning the information of many digimon cards with your visualizer, Betamon are virus types and ToyAgumon are of the free type, so none of them have an advantage over your digimon. Not to mention, both are quite slow because of their body types, so they couldn't have absorbed much data before they ended up in Eden.
