Digimon Convergence IC Log I, Part 1 Mattmanganon 06-15-2011 07:15 PM Digimon: the Convergence of the Human and Digital World IC the Digital world has always co-existed with the Real World. but due to unknown circumstances, the Digital World and the Real world have began to combine, now pieces of the Digital world are beginning to come into the human world. it all started a month ago, at first it was small things such as mail-boxes replaced with Mail-box sized Mushrooms. but then it started to get big, whole skyscrapers replaced with Ocean Liners. now creatures have started to appear. some of them have have come in search of a Partner, some have come due to lack of choice and are scared, and there are a few that have come because they wish to destroy this new world and claim it for their own. OOC: http://roleplayerguild.com/f15/digim...l-world-99666/ **** Dirk woke up in his bed, Thursday, only got to make it through today and tommorow, then he gets 2 days off. he walked downstairs to find Kate sitting there waiting for him. "hi Dirk, i made you some breakfast." she said. "thanks Kate." he said. he sat down to the pancakes that she had made him. he ate them and she simply stood and watched him. she seemed to enjoy watching him enjoy her work. he felt really weird. he finished and got up. "thanks again." she then handed him his school bag, he then handed him his bag. "now hurry up, you'll be late for school." she said. he then walked out and made his way to school. as he walked through the busy streets, he noticed that the TV's had pictures of the latest strange disturbances. there was now a large Medieval Castle in the middle of Chicago. "it's getting worse..." he shook his head. walking even further down the road, he had to walk through a park in order to get to school. as he did so he suddenly noticed a thick fog beginning to roll in, he thought nothing of it as it had been happening a lot of late but then he began to lose his way. "crap i'm gonna be late." he said, he then ran for a bit until he wound up in the middle of a basketball court. "the hell?" he asked. then he was knocked off his feet. he looked around to see a Giant parrot. "WHAT THE HELL!!!" he yelled. then he saw a devil like creature raise out of the ground. "WHAT THE HELL!!!" he yelled. the parrot and Devil faught. Dirk dodged out of the way of the 2 who were much bigger than him. the Parrot then gave the Devil a decisive blow which knocked it on it's back. the Parrot then looked at Dirk it lashed out at him, but the Devil creature then got in the way. "YOU'RE FIGHT IS WITH ME." the Parrot then put it's feet claws in the Devils shoulder. Dirk then ran over to the Devil. "come on, get up. you gotta get up!" he yelled. the Parrot then lashed out with it's beak. "NOOO!!!" The devil protected Dirk with it's hands. "thank you." he said. "THIS REALLY FREAKIN' HURTS KID." it said. the Parrot then backed off. "come on bird brain, you're mine." he said. "no, lets run." said Dirk. "no, he's mine." "what's your name?" asked Dirk. "Devimon... why'd you ask?" he asked. "because, Devimon, you'll die if you fight him." said Dirk. the Parrot then launched at them again. "DEVIMON!!!" yelled Dirk, he and Devimon were about to die." but then the bird hit an energy field. the parrot began to bang against the energy field. but to no avail. suddenly Dirks chest began to glow. then a small ball of energy came out. it then formed into what looked kind of like a roundish Mobile Phone. it began to glow and then suddenly everything went black. then he came to. Dirk got to his feet. "oh... what happened." his voice sounded like a combination of his and Devimon's voice. "what the hell?" he asked. he looked himself over, he looked like a large demonic biker, the parrot then charged at him again. he instinctively pulled out 2 double barreled shot-guns and unloaded them into the Parrot. it then disolved, the little particles then flowed into Dirk. "what the hell?" everything went black again and he awoke on the ground "wha? it must have been a dream, i probably hit my head on the way to school and was knocked out. he then got up and saw a little black imp-like creature on the ground. "WHAT THE HELL?!" he yelled. the creature came to as well. "what happened?" asked the creature. it then looked itself over. "GOD DAMMIT! I SPENT AGES GETTING ENOUGH ENERGY TO DIGIVOLVE!!!" he then looked at Dirk. "THIS IS YOUR FAULT PINEAPPLE HEAD!!!" "what the hell?" he then looked at the phone. "hey, do you know what this is?" he asked. "A DIGIVICE!!!" yelled the Imp. "wait... are you... Devimon?" "no, i'm now Impmon, as i digivolve i gain different names, i was Devimon, but then i got my ass handed to me so now i am Impmon." "this is confusing." said Dirk. "well, your my Digidestined now." said Impmon. "this is sweet, now all of those guys that picked on me will pay for everything, cuz i can become mega now!!!" laughed the imp. "i'm confused." said Dirk. "walk with me, i'll explain on the way." said Impmon Gamerdude369 06-15-2011 08:54 PM "Castles appearin' out of nowhere, kinda strange." said a kid dressed in black. He was walking down the street with a group of teens, around his age. Steve among them. "It depends what you mean by strange, alines make them crop circles and what not." said another walking with his hands in his pocket. "Crop circles are one thing, but whole buildings, that's quacked." the third one spoke, the youngest of the group. Steve was walking with them, thinking about this and that not really listening to their conversation even though they were his friends. His thoughts were of doing something new, something different from hanging out with his loving looser. They were all heading to the local restaurant for breakfast, but this day was about to take a turn. When they got to the door the entire building started waving, waving and fading. The others panicked and ran, leaving Steve behind. Soon the building was gone and Steve saw his friends were too. "Some friends," he thought to himself. Now where the building once stood was a pile of ruble, none of it resembling the restaurant. This was decidedly different so he decided to see what was there. Entering the ruble he could see something sitting among the gray cement of some former structure. It appeared to be egg shaped and sported yellow spots. Steve approached it cautiously. As he got closer he could see that the egg was rather large, bigger than an ostrich egg or just about. He went to pick up the egg and the minute he touched it the room glowed bright, so bright he could not see anything. When the light faded there was device of some sort in his hand, it had a screen and a few buttons. It was not a phone or anything he had ever seen. As he examined the device he heard a crack, it was the egg. He looked closer as the cracks continued to form. Steve did not flee, his curiosity took the best of him, he wanted to know what it was. What emerged could not be defined as animal, vegetable, or mineral. It was slimish in form and sported two small wings. It was roughly the size of a soccer ball. It looked at him with it's big eyes and spoke. "Good morning Your Highness." Need less to say Steve was taken back by this, nearly tripping over the ruble as he steeped back. Not only was this slime alive, but it spoke a language that he understood. It even called him "Highness," this confused him. "I'm talking to a slime ball right now, but what the heck. What do you mean by Highness?" The ball hopped closer to him and spoke again. "I am a Digimon that follow a monarchy system. As you are my Digidestined, you are my King. I am your humble servant Pupumon." To Steve this was officially weird, but three different kinds of awesome. "Are you serious? Pupumon? Who gave you that name?" Steve did not even want to repeat it, it would make his tongue fall off most likely. "It is not my name, it is what I am. Pardon the rudeness your Majesty, but I am terribly hungry. Would you show me a bit of kindness?" It was asking for food now. Considering he was friendless and the restaurant was no more he decided to return home, Pupumon in tow. * * * * * * By the time the two of them got back to the house it was lunch time, so Steve proceeded to cook. He offered the "Digimon" anything in the house, but it seemed fixated on honey. He granted it its desire, and made a burger for himself. His father was out this time of day, he was not working, he was doing whatever he wanted. When Steve was finished with his burger, and Pupumon with his honey, Steve decided it was time for a conversation. "So, my humble servant, what the f*#k is going on here?" The creature started to speak, but suddenly stopped and turned white all over. Steve was not taken back this time, at the moment noting would surprise him. When the light faded, the one slimy Pupumon sported a new image. This of an insect. Yellow body, bigger eyes, and bigger wings, but still roughly the same size as before. Steve pointed at the creature, "Does that happen often?" "Yes and no your Majesty. Digivolving is not an exact science, but I do get stronger." The insect spread his wings and hovered in front of his human companion. "As thanks for the meal I will explain a few things to you." (I am going to say this is where Steve gets the gist of Digimon, Digivice, Digidestind, basically everything Digi related.) Mattmanganon 06-16-2011 11:23 AM Dirk and Impmon walked along the park path. "so let me get this straight, you are a Digimon." "yup." "you come from a place called the Digital world." "yup." "you were randomly warped here along with the big parrot creature called Parrotmon." "yup." "i am called a Digidestined." "yes." "you leach power from me in order to fight. and the stronger my emotions, the more power you gain." "yup." "so can we turn into the big biker guy again?" asked Dirk "no." replied Impmon. "why not?" asked Dirk. "think of our power as a hike across the desert, you get given a big bucket of water to take with you. that water is power." said Impmon. "and..." "you chugged it. no power left." said Impmon. "i might be able to become Devimon again... but that's about it for now." "oh... ok." suddenly a bell could be heard. "OH SHIT I'M LATE!!!" Dirk then took off. "HEY PINEAPPLE HEAD, WHERE'DYA THING YOUR GOIN'?" "i gotta get to school or i'm dead!!!" Impmon jumped on Dirk's back. "well i'm comin' too, i'm gonna be Beelzemon again if it kills you." he said. Dirk stopped. "no, you can't come with me." he said. "why?" "because pets aren't allowed in school." said Dirk. "HEY, WHO YOU CALLIN' A PET PINEAPPLE HEAD!?!?!" "stop calling me that!" "never!" Impmon jumped on Dirks head and started jumping up and down. "pineapple head! pineapple head! pineapple head!" Dirk then grabbed him and put him down. "alright, stay out here." he said, he then ran inside the school gates. PsychoScythe 06-16-2011 08:26 PM Lucas groaned to himself as he watched another object be replaced by something weird; this time a telephone pole being replaced by a cactus. He'd read some of the crack theories on the internet, and if this was truly either the Second Coming of Christ or Cthulhu, then they were stoned as hell if this is what they came up with. Either way, he still had to get to his class at the university. As Lucas walked through the streets, yet another strange event happened. The next block over had suddenly exploded, and when the dust cleared, it was revealed to have been reduced to rubble. In the center of the rubble, there was something that made Lucas doubt his sobriety. A lion-man was punching the crap out of a giant black dinosaur. Suddenly, the dinosaur spat a blast of fire at the lion man, impacting and knocking him flat on his back. As the lion man struggled to get up, the black dinosaur seemed to be searching the area for something, until its eyes finally settled on Lucas. "Ah ha! More prey! If I load his data, Leomon won't be a problem for me!" The black dinosaur roared, as it began charging at Lucas. Ordinarily, Lucas would have tried to run, but the shock of seeing a fire-breathing dinosaur talking and the sheer insanity of this situation left him in a state of shell-shock. When he finally came to, the dinosaur was rapidly closing in on him. "Holy shit..." Lucas whispered, stunned as he saw his impending death. Being eaten by a talking dinosaur was not how he planned to spend his morning. As the dinosaur swiped at Lucas with a claw, the lion man appeared from out of nowhere and screamed in pain as the claw dug into his side. "Not this time, DarkTyrannomon." The lion man roared as he drew a sword with one hand and the other began to give off an orange aura. "You're not bringing innocents into this, coward! Fist of the Beast King!" The lion man thrust his glowing fist forward, and an aura shaped like a lion's head burst forth, exploding on impact with DarkTyrannomon's face. As the dinosaur fell onto its back, roaring in pain, the lion man took his sword and leaped onto its head, impaling it in the skull. DarkTyrannomon burst into small particles that the lion man proceeded to absorb into his body, but more particles seemed to be flowing out of his wound as he cried out in pain, falling to the ground. Lucas watched the seen in bewilderment, then started forward, intending to help the lion man in some way. He did save his life, after all. "Hey, are you all right?" Lucas kneeled down next to the dying lion man, who was grunting in pain as more particles flowed from his open wound. "Shit, it's my fault you took that hit, isn't it? I'm sorry." Lucas muttered worriedly as the flow of particles only increased. "Don't be." The lion man smiled grimly, seeming accepting of his fate. "If I died saving an innocent, then it was a good death. At least I have a chance of reformatting like this." "I...is there anything I can do to help you?" Lucas spoke quietly, looking somber in the face of the creature's near death state. As he spoke, a light began emanating from his chest, before emerging and taking the form of some round electronic device. Lucas took it, staring at it in confusion. The lion man looked as shocked as Lucas, before gasping out a few more words. "A Digidestined...I see. I may have a chance after all. Human, what is your name?" Lucas ignored the strange new device in his hands as he focused his attention back on the lion. "It's Lucas. Lucas Seyour." The lion nodded once before grinning in triumph, for some strange reason. "Lucas...my name is Leomon. When I die, I will reformat into an egg. Please, safeguard that egg until I hatch again from it. Thank you...Digidestined." With those words, Leomon burst into a cloud of particles, which stood in the air for half a minute before forming into an egg, just like he stated. Lucas pocketed the device that had burst from his chest, and picked up the egg, holding it in both hands. "Well thanks, bro. Way to leave me a cryptic message right before you die, like goddamn Obi-Wan. What, are you going to reincarnate or something?" He muttered to himself, returning to his normal state of thought now that the danger had passed. "Guess I'm not going to class today." Lucas smirked as he headed back to his apartment. Three hours later in Lucas's apartment, the egg hatched, just as Leomon said it would, and a red blob with eyes emerged, smiling like a maniac and bouncing up and down. It seemed to take its form in for a few seconds, before its eyes bulged in realization. "Holy crap! I remember everything! Thank you so much!" The blob spoke, before launching itself into Lucas's arms, laughing eagerly. "Okay, what the hell?" Lucas asked as he set the blob back down on his kitchen table. "My name is Punimon. I'm the Baby level of that Leomon from earlier. So anyway, you got anything to eat? I'm starving." Lucas obliged Punimon, heating up a cup of instant ramen for him to eat. As soon as he finished eating, Punimon began to glow white, before morphing into a round, orange, furry creature with a horn. "Ah, thank you for the meal. It seems it was enough to cause me to evolve into Tsunomon, my In-Training form. I suppose you'll be wanting an explanation of what's going on?" And for the next few hours, Tsunomon explained the workings of the Digital World to Lucas, along with the concept of Digivolution and everything related to it. Gamerdude369 06-16-2011 10:06 PM This was a lot to take in, by anyone's standards. "Ok ok, let me get this straight, you are Puroromon now?" The creature nodded. "You are a Digimon that came from the Digitalworld and I am your Digidestined and your King." The creature nodded again. "This electronically doodad is a Digivice that links me to you and proved I am a Digidestined, who is a person that helps to fight and protect the Digital world." For a third time in a row the creature nodded, but this time he spoke. "Yes your Highness, that is the the basic understanding of things." Puroromon smiled, he was happy his master was able to pick up on these thing quickly. "Ok one more question." Steve understood everything, but there was one big plot hole in the Digital Creature's story. "Ask away your Majesty, and I will answer." He waited eagerly for its master to respond. "As far as I can see you came out of an egg, meaning you were born today. Are you telling me this is inherent knowledge for every Digimon." Puroromon was caught off guard, this question could blow a hole in his entire story, he had to tell his master what had happened. "Ahh, yes, about that." To him this was going to be an embarrassing story, to him his honor was tarnished. "Back in the Digital World, I was a Captain of the Royal Guard, as Waspmon of course. One day our hive was attacked, we managed to hold off the invasion, but there were many casualties, myself included. I was not deleted though, I was reconfigured, into the egg you saw. It happens on occasion when a Digimon uses too much power, and like I said, the hive is safe." This was quite the story, this Puroromon was a heroic warrior, a loyal knight, and a powerful protector. "Nice story Puroromon, I bet it would make a great children's book." He tried putting it into words that would make logical sense. "So data is like matter, it never truly disappears. right." "Data can be more easily configured, but yes, something is always left behind. Very intellectual statement your Majesty." The bug Digimon was generally happy, he could have ended up with a scum bag for all he knew, he was one of the lucky ones. "The name is Steve Snader. But I assume you are going to refer to me in a kingly manner regardless, right?" His companion was not too hard to understand, but how he was going to be a contender at its current size baffled him. "It would be disgraceful and insulting to you otherwise, King Steve." Vocalia 06-16-2011 11:28 PM The day went on rather normally as Zei looked around the pet shop. News of strange occurence seemed to be popping on in a rather disturbing frequencies. Bluidings gone and being replaced by open land, objects appearing and disappearing at random places and times. The most bizzare of all, to her, would be the sudden appearance of monsters in the area. She wondered if these occurences might be connected. A bark from a puppy broke the girl off her reverie as she approached it. Gently stroking the pup, Zei smiled as the pup nibbled on her finger, feeling the dull pressure of its still growing teeth. Suddenly, the earth under them shook with a sudden jolt. The animals began to panic and Zei was forced to lay on the ground. Just as the quake appeared, it disappeared in an instant after a short while. Standing up to look around, she was relieved to see all the animals safe. Items were flung off the shelves to the ground, but it was not to a great concern. Zei surveyed the insides and outsides of the pet shop. When she opened the door, a strange object lied in front of her. It looked like a white egg, with strange light purple markings all over it. "Hmmm? What could this be?" She wondered out loud, moving to touch the egg. The moment she did, her body let out a warm glow. Light erupted from her slender frame and clustered together, forming what looked like a white rectangular pager with strange buttons and a display window on it. The strange item fell onto the egg, causing it to crack. Slowly, a fur ball emerged from the egg, looking rather viscious. The moment the fur ball set her eyes on her, she hopped off her egg shell and began chewing on Zei's hand, growling while she was at it. However, due to her lack of teeth, it didn't hurt at all. Rather, it felt ticklish to the girl. Blinking in confusion, she picked up the device as the egg shell disappeared into clusters of data dust, unaware of what it was. Looking at the fur ball chewing on her hand, she looked around before taking the creature in with her into the shop. Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 01:02 AM Robert was sitting in the middle of Class, he wasn't listening to the teacher, he was thinking about Impmon. but at the same time was listening to his portable radio on the Sly. "Xang has the ball... he's racing down the wing... Lamp makes an unsuccessful intercept. he shoots a-" suddenly the radio cut out. "we interupt this broadcast to bring you an important news flash, Tokyo is now under attack from several Creatures, one appears to be a Dinosaur. it's like watching an old Godzilla film in Tokyo square, everyone is urged to evacuate Tokyo until the crisis is averted. the others appear to be a Giant Pig-like Creature and a Hawk." suddenly a voice came over the school speakers. "all students are to evacuate the building immediately, please remain calm." said the voice of the Headmaster. everyone started to head to the exits. "probably another false fire alarm." said one of the girls. Robert left with them but snuck away. is it another Digimon? he thought. better get to Impmon and see if we can help, who knows, if we can make Beelzemon again, we could take this Dino thing. i hope Kate is alright... running into the park he found Impmon running at him. "hey what took you so long? there's a freakin' Tyranomon trying to make me into a sandwich!" he yelled suddenly a foot came down. "SHIT RUN!!!" he yelled. "hey, pineapple head, you gotta make me digivolve." "how!!!" "i dunno, you just gotta." Tyranomon's head came down and tried to bite them, "BADDA BOOM!!" yelled Impmon throwing a fire-ball in it's eye. the dinosaur missed the 2 of them, but was now annoyed. it's head came down again. but now a bright light had burst from Roberts Digivice. it surrounded impmon. "now we're talkin'. IMPMON DIGIVOLVE TO..." the imps arms and legs grew and his horns became longer. it was now as tall as the Tyranomon. "yes!!! i'm devimon again. WOW!!!" yelled Impmon as he was hit by a fire-ball from the startled Tyranomon. "that's it. Touch of Evil!!!" his claw lashed out and caught the Tyranomon across the face. this made it even angrier. "umm, could use some help." said Devimon. Vocalia 06-17-2011 01:31 AM An hour after she first found the fur ball, she grew legs and ears with the ability to run and ram onto anything. Looking at the girl, the four-legged creature examined her closely before noticing the strange white device she had with her. "Hey, are you a Digidestinied?" The fur ball asked, her voice had a strong, masculine tone to it. "Eh? Digidestinied?" Zei asked. "What is that? And... who are you?" "Right..." She rolled her eyes, exasperated at herself. "I'm Dorimon." The fur ball introduced herself. "I'm a Digimon. I come from the Digital World." She looked out through the window. "You're my Digidestinied. Long story short, I now have to rely on you to grow stronger." She looked at Zei carefully. "W-wait! What is a Digimon?" Zei asked. "See those big, giant creatures roaming around the place? Yeah, those are Digimons." Dorimon raised a brow. "I'm guessing now's your first time seeing one up close." She looked at her. Zei nodded. "Well, you can say so." She replied. "Anyway... Now that we set all the boring formalities, let's-" The Digimon was cut off as a small quake erupted. Both of them looked out to see a giant red dinasour trampling around. "Talk about timing." Dorimon growled. "Take your Digivce. We're taking down this mughead." She told her. "D-Digivice?" The girl asked. "White block thingie on your table." She sighed. Zei nodded and grabbed the white Digivice laying on the table. She then left a notice on it before closing down the shop and leaving with Dorimon, noticing that the red dinasour was rampaging in a nearby park. Arriving at the scene, she saw another person with a demon-like creature. "Devimon's already here, huh...?" Dorimon frowned in a nonchalant tone. Suddenly, Zei's Digivice let out a blinding light."Alright. Let's show this Tyranomon a thing or two." She grinned and charged at it. As she ran, the fur ball changed into a bipedal, beast like dinasour with bushy tail, two small hands and tiny wings. A short while later, the dinasour grew in size, her wings expanded and extended, her tail grew longer and thicker and her claws grew longer and sharper. Her fur also turned into a darker hue with lighter stripes and white fur on her muzzle, ends of paws and legs, neck and tail. "Power Metal!" The now-evolved Dorugamon flew and fired several metal orbs from her mouth at the Tyranomon's eyes. Zei rushed to the other person's side, holding her Digivice in a firm grasp. Gamerdude369 06-17-2011 02:45 AM "King Steve, don't call me that. Call me what ever you want, just not that. Understood?" He was not sure what it was but it did not sit well with him. Your Majesty and your highness he could handle, but King Steve, sounded like something a looser would call themselves. "Clear as crystal, your Highness." Puroromon was not bothered by this, whatever his King asked, he would obey. The TV suddenly changed. "We interrupt this broadcast to bring you an important news flash, Tokyo is now under attack from several Creatures, one appears to be a Dinosaur. It's like watching an old Godzilla film in Tokyo square, everyone is urged to evacuate Tokyo until the crisis is averted. The others appear to be a Giant Pig-like Creature and a Hawk." More Digimon, Steve was not surprised. The footage zoomed in on the large red dinosaur, one the likes of witch no one has ever seen. Te oddest thing was that every time the creature took a step, Steve actual felt a quake. "The damn thing is a few blocks away!" It finally hit him, this creature was causing havoc right there in his neighborhood. People were hurt, scared, and dying only a few blocks over. He had to do something, he had a Digimon, but he was small, and seemingly weak. Filed with rage he slammed the kitchen counter. It happened again. His companion, Puroromon, tuned completely white again, this time growing in size when. When the light faded, things were much different. Not only was he the size of Steve's upper body, but was more wasp like. Long blue antennas, two sets of wings, a stinger, and several legs. He looked more menacing now. "I, FanBeemon, await you orders, your Majesty ." This was more like it, there could be a chance. "Move out, we strike now!" shouted Steve, trying to sound like a commander. Fanbeemon nodded, flying out the window while Steve ran out the door. From his stoop he could see the red dinosaur, FanBeemon informed his King it was called Tyranomon. They ran several blocks to get close enough to see its entirety. The creature was already being attacked by two other digimon, one that could be described as a purple ball of fur, the other, a demon. "FanBeemon, any idea who is more dangerous?" "At the moment, I would say Tyranomon. They are highly intelligent, but have a very feral instinct. Next would be Devimon, but something is different about him." FanBeemon quickly assessed the situation, knowing there is not much for him to do. "Well what are you waiting for? Go kick some A$$!" Steve ordered, the three of them would cause a lot of damage, this had to be ended soon. "With all due respect you Majesty , I am not powerful enough to intervene at this moment." FanBeemon knew his chances were slim to none of winning. "What do you mean!? You said you were a Captain of the Royal Guard! This should be nothing for you!" Maybe his companion was not as strong as he thought. He seemed to be in fear at this time. "I told you that was when I was Waspmon, your Highness, right now I am a lonely recruit." This was the sad truth that FanBeemon had to come to terms with. The purple puff ball struck at the red giant, sending him toppling into a building. Steve was stunned, there could have been people in that building. Innocent people may have just died because of this pointless combat. "Say what you will FanBeemon, I am going to defend the people of this Island, the people I love. Stand here if you want, I'm helping." It was obvious he was mad fuming even. These creatures were fighting for the sake of fighting to him. His rage ran wild. This would be the third time the Digimon transformed, and this time it was different. His King wanted to protect his people, to protect the ones that needed to be defended. FanBeemon knows the desire, then rage and dedication of his King empowered him. When the light faded he had the body of a samurai, and a stinger that resembled a large cannon. He rivaled Tyranomon in size. "Royal Guard Captain Waspman of the Third Brigade, this is my power your Highness. I await your command." Steve was taken back, this was it, he was a true warrior now. He climbed up on his back, even with the protest from Waspman. "Shut it soldier, now fly up and hit Tyranomon. Don't miss, there are innocent people around here." "As you wish my lord." Waspman took to the air, flying over the three combatants. His stinger started to glow a bright yellow, Steve could feel the shot ready to fire and held on tight. "Turbo Stinger!!!" shouted Waspmon letting out a barrage of shots, most of which were a direct hit. Vocalia 06-17-2011 03:05 AM Zei shielded her eyes when the Tyranomon toppled and fell into a building. Luckily, the building itself was already set for demolition, seeing the yellow straps flying off from the impact and the fact that the building was unlit. "Dorimon! Be careful! There could be civilians around here." She shouted at the flying Digimon. "Got it! By the way..." She fired another Power Metal at the Tyranomon."I'm now a Dorugamon." She smiled and circled the Tyranomon, trying to lure him back into the park so they could reduce civilian casuality. "Dorugamon...?" Zei looked at her before seeing another Digimon, a giant wasp with a large cannon. "Dorugamon, look out!" She warned her as Dorugamon flew out of the way of the incoming barrage. "Ah... Waspmon is here as well..." She mused, glancing at him. And he has a Digidestinied with him too... She thought before flying around the building. The Digimon seemed relieved that the other humans had evacuated from the surrounding areas. She then looked at Devimon and Waspmon. "If you're going to fight, I suggest learning who your enemies and allies are." She frowned, especially at Waspmon. Her speaking tone showcased her tomboyish, yet nonchalant personality. Gamerdude369 06-17-2011 03:26 AM When the smoke finally cleared Steve could see two more figures, as well as the other two Digimon. Waspmon said the purple one's name was Dorugamon. Steve was confused as to why it was talking to him. "By the Golden Comb, two more Digidestined. Sire I suggest we change tactics." "You mean there are more people like me out there? Or rather down there?" Steve locked closer at the two people, one was a girl who was focused on Dorugamon, the other was a guy that seemed to be focused on the demonic one. "Damn, this got complicated real fast." "If I may my lord, I will shoot less shots, and only when I know I will hit." Waspmon had little choice, there was so much that can go wrong. "You can fire several shots, how about one big one?" It was clear that this battle needed to be stopped, and fast. "I can do that, mind you it takes a minuet to charge, pulse it would destroy everything down there." The Bear Buster was Waspmon's most powerful shot, specifically meant to take out larger opponents, as such it packs quite a punch. Steve looked down, and yelled for the purple one's attention. "Hey puff ball, we'll play it your way! If you can work with the black one over there, toss Tyranomon up into the air somehow, we will take care of the rest! Unless you can end this now that is! You seem to be doing a real bang up job as it is!" Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 08:56 AM Dirk was surprised at the introduction of other Digimon. he then noticed Zei run over to him. "are you the partner of one of these then?" he asked her. "QUIT TRYIN' TO SCORE, I'M KINDA TRYIN' TO KICK SOME ASS OVER HERE!!!" Devimon lashed out with Touch of Evil. but Tyranomon dodged. "ok how about some DEATH HAND!!!" a beam of blackness lanced out of his hand and hit Tyranomon directly in the chest knocking it down, Devimon stood over the Tyranomon about to finish it off when suddenly he was hit in the back by another fireball. he then turned around just in time to see a Birdramon hit him in the face with his claws. he was knocked over, but then got back to his feet. "Death hand!" he fired at the Birdramon. Vocalia 06-17-2011 09:07 AM "It would be a long story but..." Zei looked at Dorugamon, the flying dark Digimon with red claws and white muzzle, and pointed to her. "That Digimon, Dorugamon, is my, umm... ally, so to speak." She replied. "She told me that I am her Digidestinied. I assume that the demon Digimon is your ally as well?" She asked, looking at Dirk. Dorugamon noticed the incoming Birdramon. "Great..." She sighed. "Power Metal!" She shooted several metal balls at the already downed Tyranomon, intending to finish the Digimon before moving onto the next target. Gamerdude369 06-17-2011 09:31 AM Nothing. Not a response, not a gesture, just nothing. Maybe it was she didn't hear Steve, he was flying pretty high. Just when he tried to call out again, Waspman quickly flew to the right. A fireball the size of a person just flew past, narrowly missing the two of them. "What in the blue blazes!?" Waspmon turned around. There was another Digimon this one looked lie a phoenix, a large fire bird. "Birdramon. Your Highness this is why I requested you stay on the ground. It is dangerous up here." "There was no flying fire bird three minuets ago! Besides how am I supposed to command you if I'm down there." Steve did not care about being in harm's way. People needed help, this battle was taking too long. "The odds are in our favor, two on the ground and us in the air. You can win a one on one fight right!?" "But of course. What do you have in mind your Highness?" Waspmon waited, watching the bird for it's next attack. "Stay above the bird, this way the fire won't hit the ground. Shoot only when your shots won't hit the ground. I'm talking 100% accuracy. Understood?!" Steve needed to end the battle. This new combatant meant they lost control of the sky, he needed that back. "You're asking a lot your Majesty. But I will follow your orders." Waspmon flew up high, higher than the bird, and fired three shots. One, two, three, they all hit and the bird's attention was completely fixed on them. Vocalia 06-17-2011 09:48 AM Doragumon could hear the Waspmon Digidestinied saying something to her. However, between the blasts and the Devimon's screaming, she could barely make out what he said. "Hey, you pipsqueak, on Waspmon! What did you say just now? I couldn't quite hear it." She shouted at Steve, keeping her distance from the new challenger in case Waspmon decided to fire on the Birdramon. Zei stayed close to Dirk, watching the fight unfolded. Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 09:54 AM Devimon stood over the badly injured Tyranomon. "this is it." his claw lashed out and Tyranomon disolved. Devimon absorbed the data. "aaahhh, that's better." he said. "now to deal with Birdramon." his wings began to flap and Devimon took into the air "evil wing!" his Wings suddenly shot dark beams out of them towards Birdramon, but the graceful bird dodged the attack. "oh come on!!!" vincanity0011210 06-17-2011 01:02 PM (….Yeah… once everyone's posts start getting really really short maybe people could wait for 1 person who hasn't posted yet and another who hasn't posted since the first page? Just… just a suggestion… otherwise, theme music: YouTube - ‪run around - digimon‬‏) -5 Hours earlier- The computer room was quiet since all the mayhem started. Few others would ever come in there now that there was little reason to be in class. Some places still required classes, but sadly Leon's wasn't one of those. It was a disappointment to him because most of his classes were ways for him to work on writing. Even thought there was no class Leon still went to write every day. Each letter of the Alphabet got a short story or poem written that surrounded the letter before he moved on. The poet now stared at his newest adversary with the utmost loathing: "V" "V… V,V,V,V… Veeeeeeee… god damn it. I'm so tired of this disruption of class. I want to actually improve myself... I guess I'll just save and leave." Leon said before taking out his portable hard drive from the computer and load it into his backpack. When his head came back up, the computers were all gone. Each one was replaced with an egg. The one in front of Leon's was decorated with small blue v's. Leon stared at all of the eggs before pausing the music on his ipod. Most of the eggs had a shine to them, but a pair a few desks away were cracking slowly, as was the one where his own desktop used to sit. After staring between all the cracking eggs, Leons mouth was agap at the small blackness that began to appear from the blued egg. When all the layers were off, the small creature from inside jumped onto Leon's lap. To Leon, however, it was an attack, and it caused him to fall over and knock his ipod away while knocking the black blob a few feet. "Ow! Why would you do that to Botamon!" it shouted, scaring Leon even more. Ignoring the cries, Leon looked around on the ground for his stuff, putting it all into his backpack before trying to find his ipod. When he reached it, there was another device next to it. It glowed light when his hand came near it and from behind he heard a cry from multiple directions. On one side, the creature called Botamon was no changing shape, becoming the size of Leon's leg and changing into a small blue dinosaur. The two eggs that were cracking good released a pair of monsters that looked like computer mice. "Metal! Koro!" they cried out, angry looks on there faces. The Dinosaur called out to Leon. "Hey! Are you my partner? …why are you staring at?" After about three seconds of staring, Leon was down the hallway with DemiVeemon chasing him and the MetalKoromon chasing him. -3 Hours earlier- Tired and sweat covered, Leon collapsed on the side of a garage building, finally having lost the monsters. With his eyes shut, Leon put his head against the building and began to breath deeply to try and recover before the running continued. He was out of luck however, as the little dinosaur had just turned the corner and was heading straight for him. Slumping over Leon decided to stop fighting his fate, as the worlds apocalypse apparently wanted him dead. "Hey! You!" the small dino said. "I could use your help! It's hard to take these two things on alone!" Leon stared at it blankly. "Uh… your not going to kill me?" he asked as the two MetalKoromon rounded the corner and began to charge at them. "Please! Take out that Digivice that you found earlier. It belongs to us and it'll help us win!" "Uh… okay. What do you want me to do with it" Leon said, eyes half closed because of the exhaustion kicking in. Searching through his backpack, Leon pulled out the device and it began to glow again. "Do you want to be killed kid!? Or do you want to live to fight another day?!" DemiVeemon said before headbutting Leon in the gut, firmly waking the Degidestined. Rising to his feet, body leaning against the building, Leon quivered as he held out the Digivice. "O-okay… Okay! What do you want me to do?" "Just say Digivolve!" DemiVeemon said as he turned to run toward the two micemon. "Digivolve" Leon shouted, watching the light from the Digivice also surround the Digimon before it began to grow in the light. "DemiVeemon Digivolved into….. Veemon! Veeeeeee headbutt!" the new Digimon shouted as its head bashed into onto one of the Metalkoromon. The one that was hit quickly faded away, but its brother came up and began to shock Veemon. "No. Veemon, c'mon keep fighting!" Leon shouted toward the one that was keeping him from getting killed. The fight was only between small monsters, but anyone nearby could feel the danger that was here. Turning around, Veemon took a hard swing at the Metalkoromon until it was dissolving. Absorbing the information, Veemon seemed to have a new gleam in its eye when it turned back toward Leon. They stared at one another for a minute before Leon spoke. "Um… whats up short stuff?" "Heh. Me and you are going to have a long talk human. A long talk…" -Present- "…are you sure about this Veemon?" Leon asked, watching the battle with a skeptical look on his face. "I feel like this is going to end badly… " "Come on Leon! We can do this! You just have to feel it! Try feeling courage! Feel it run through you!" the small blue dino began to say, trying to encourage his partner so they could join the battle going on not a hundred yards away. With a sigh, Leon closed his eyes and began to look within himself, trying to find his courage. After a nearly a minute of concentrating, he opened them with a determined look on his face. Raising his digivice, he called out. "Digi Armor, Energize!" One second past… then two… three… a full minute. "Um… Veemon?" "Aw damn… Okay, I guess it was just that one Veemon that could… anyways, try the other one! That ones bound to work!" Veemon said excitedly, unable to wait until his first digivolution. With a sigh, he closed his eyes again and willed his own self through the digivice. "Veemon! Digivolve!" Leon shouted before the digivice and Veemon began to light up. "Veemon digivolved into…" Veemons glowing body could be seen changing shape slowly. Wings, muscles and a singled horn on his nose began to protrude from its body as it grew in size. As the light left its body, the Digivice and the new Digimon both called out: "ExVeemon!" Leon stood dumbfounded at the next digivolution. The others were minor in comparison to this. "Wow… ExVeemon? Really? That’s a little… not much different." he said, coming out of his astounded state and thinking about the name for a minute. Leon chuckled for a second before ExVeemon rolled his eyes. "Alright short stuff, are you ready to get this fight going?" The digimon asked before offereing its back. "Hell yes!" Leon said before jumping onto his partners back and taking into the air. Flying through the air and seeing a Digimon busy dodging another attack, ExVeemon targeted it and fired. "V-Laser!" he shouted, a large beam of energy heading for the flying digimon. PsychoScythe 06-17-2011 02:06 PM Tsunomon had finished explaining the specifics of the Digital World to Lucas a while ago, and they had attempted Digivolution once, with Tsunomon evolving to Elecmon as a result. Now, both human and Digimon were sitting on Lucas's couch, watching television as Elecmon suddenly went rigid for a moment, tensing up. "Hey, what's the matter?" Lucas asked worriedly as Elecmon began snarling at an unseen enemy. "I sense a battle nearby. If we don't end this fast, innocents could get hurt. Follow me!" The orange Digimon shouted as he leapt off the couch. Lucas obliged him, and both of them rushed out of the apartment and ran several blocks before they came across several Digimon that seemed to have human partners facing off against a flying bird Digimon. "Lucas, Digivolve me. Those other Digidestined need help bringing that Birdramon down, and I'm not strong enough in my Rookie for to stand a chance against it." Lucas took a second to look over the other humans with Digimon nearby before making his decision. "Got it. Kick some ass out there, Elecmon." Lucas willed Elecmon to Digivolve, and a light shone from his Digivice, as Elecmon began to glow white again. "Elecmon, evolve! Leomon!" The lion man roared as the light dimmed, his right hand beginning to glow again. "Fist of the Beast King!" He roared as he launched another lion head-shaped aura at the Birdramon. This attack impacted it in the wing, causing it to lose a bit of altitude. Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 02:43 PM the streets of Tokyo shook as Vikaralamon stomped through. "puny humans..." it said. by now, JSDF had been able to scramble and at the end of the street was a battalion of tanks. "LIGHT 'EM UP!" yelled the Tank commander. the large guns began to pound at the creature. but the boar simply shrugged it off. "damn." the tanks then moved out of the way as the creature lumbered past. "how the hell do we fight that thing?" but then he got a message through his head-set. "all units fall back!" it said. but the Commander was reluctant to do so. "keep firing, we can't just abandon the city." said the commander. **** in the next street a staging area had been set up, there were men in black suits all over the place. suddenly a large helicoptor landed several men walked out with a large metal box. the man at the front simply took his sun-glasses off as the boar rounded the corner. the man next to him did so as well "oh, that's a big-one. you think he can handle it?" asked the man. "childs play for him." said the leader. "open it up." suddenly the box opened to reveal a 10 foot tall beast with black skin and armour plating, it resembled a dinosaur. "BlackWarGreymon. it is time to hunt." said the leader. "yes... my master." said the beast. "defeat every digimon in the city, who knows, you do good enough, we'll let you see her again." said the Leader. "thank you... my master." replied BlackWarGreymon. his restraints were released and it stomped forward. "go get 'em boy." said the Leader with a smirk. the Boar was now very close to them "FUSION BALL!!!" a red ball flew out of it's mouth at BlackWarGreymon, but Black simply deflected the blast with his Dramon-slayers "TERRA DESTROYER!!!" it then threw a giant ball at Vikaralamon. the Boar was hit and vapourised. Black then absorbed the data and walked back to the Leader. "master, there are more Digimon in the city, should i eliminate them as well?" asked Black. "of course." he said. "very well my master." black then took into the air and headed for the fight. **** Birdramon was hit by the Fist of the Beast King. but it was better than what was to come. "TERRA DESTROYER!" yelled Black. birdramon was vapourised and Blackwargreymon absorbed the data. "more targets found." it said looking at the other Digimon. "what's your beef Pineapple head?" asked Devimon. now you're in trouble, from all that data i absorbed from Tyranomon. i can do this." Devimon began to glow, "DEVIMON DIGIVOLVE TO... NEODEVIMON!!!" the masked creature came to the field. "this is freakin' awesome i'm stronger than ever." he said looking over his new body "guilty claw!!!" he lashed out and caught Black across the face. however, it was undamaged. "BLACK TORNADO!!" it then flew and hit NeoDevimon, then circled around and hit him again, and then again. NeoDevimon fell to the ground. Black then looked at the others, the closest was Leomon. "TERRA DESTROYER!!!" ((sorry, but it's Leomon, always getting the short end of the stick)) Vocalia 06-17-2011 03:07 PM Dorugamon swooped in and caught Leomon, carrying him away just as the Terra Destroyer hit the ground, sending a powerful shockwave around the park. Both her and Zei were thrown away by the shockwave, Zei moreso due to her smaller size. She was thrown against a tree, knocking her out. Dorugamon managed to regain her footing and let Leomon down. She saw what happened to her Digidestinied and glared at BlackWarGreymon. "You bastard..." She hissed and went after him. "Power Metal!" She began shooting metal balls at him. However, her attack barely made a dent on the Mega Digimon. "No! Not again...! I... I don't want to be weak..." She whispered to herself. A small tear ran down her muzzle as she circled the larger Digimon. PsychoScythe 06-17-2011 03:21 PM After Dorugamon set Leomon down, he drew his sword and charged at BlackWarGreymon, taking advantage of Dorugamon's distraction. He swung at the dragon Digimon, but the black dragon simply parried his strike with a Dramon Destroyer and kicked him back down to the ground. As Leomon got back up, BlackWarGreymon launched another Terra Destroyer attack at him. Leomon's eyes widened as he saw the red orb of death come rushing at him. Reacting quickly, he dived to the side in an attempt to dodge the attack, but he was only partially successful. The Terra Destroyer attack exploded when it impacted the empty ground, and Leomon was caught in part of the explosion, which threw him back into a building, destroying the wall and injuring the lion. Lucas ran over to the injured Leomon, his voice rising in shock. "Shit! Leomon, are you alright?" Lucas knelt down to the injured lion Digimon for the second time that day. Thankfully, this injury wasn't life-threatening. Leomon slowly got up, breathing heavily. "Calm down, Lucas. I'm fine. But him...this is bad." Leomon intoned gravely, staring at the armored black figure. "That's BlackWarGreymon, a Mega level. None of us have a chance of taking him on, even if we attacked together." Lucas suddenly recalled what Tsunomon had told him about Digimon levels. A Mega level was the highest known, able to take on several lower-leveled Digimon and come out with almost no injuries. "I'll say it again. Shit." Lucas cursed again, seeing no way out of this situation. From what he had seen so far, BlackWarGreymon was faster than any of the other Digimon here, and definitely stronger if he took an attack from NeoDevimon, an Ultimate level, and shrugged it off without a second glance. "So, what are our options? You saw that guy's speed, Leomon. We can't outrun him, and we can't outfight him. Tell me you can Digivolve again." Lucas tried to will Leomon to Digivolve again, and a bright light began to shine around Leomon once more, before suddenly dissipating. "I'm sorry, Lucas. I need to load more data to Digivolve like that NeoDevimon did, and the data I loaded from that DarkTyrannomon earlier was corrupted when I reformatted. The best we can do is try to injure him, and die with honor." Leomon said grimly, drawing his sword and preparing to charge at the Mega level. "Honor before reason, huh, Leomon? That's complete bull. Don't go charging off into a suicide run just yet." Lucas spat, suddenly looking disgusted. "I refuse to let you throw your life away for crap like 'honor'. Not when there has to be another way." Leomon suddenly looked pained at Lucas's declaration. "But what else can we do when there's no option left? If I fall today, I will fall honorably in battle, not with my back turned while trying to flee." Lucas gave a strained smirk, trying to remain confident despite the gravity of the situation around him. "You try every other option first. Tell you what, if nothing else works, then we'll try the suicide run option. At least death will be quicker that way." Looking around him, he remembered that there were other people around, as well as the injured girl. "So, any of you got any ideas? Personally, I've got absolutely nothing besides shouting Leeroy Jenkins at the top of my lungs and rushing him." Lucas yelled over to the other humans, as he knelt down next to the injured girl, while her partner was still launching attacks at BlackWarGreymon. Thankfully, she didn't seem to have any lasting injuries, and was just knocked out. Gamerdude369 06-17-2011 06:04 PM It was working. Birdramon kept attacking Waspmon, paying no attention to the the others on the ground. The devil one, Devimon, dealt the killing blow to Tyranomon and was flying into the sky. One down one to go. He tried to attack the fire bird, but missed completely. There was a change in the way the bird moved he seemed to be more cautious about advancing. Steve knew they were winning. "Hey, you attack from the left and I'll attack from the right. You got it Diablo?!" The one known as Devimon didn't respond. The attacks continued, some hitting, most missing. At one point the both attacked simultaneously, clearly by coincidence. Needless to say both shots went past the bird. The odds were unbelievable at this point. But that was quick to change. "TERRA DESTROYER!" These words echoed. Steve turned around just in time to see Birdramon engulfed in a ball of fire bigger than it was. Many philosophers have asked if fire was hot, well one fire just killed another. Birdramon was incinerated, there was nothing left. Steve looked for the source, it had to be around here somewhere. Finally he found it, it was black and covered in armor. Something was different about this one. Devimon may look like a devil, but this thing, this Digimon, it looked evil. It sent a shiver down Steve's spine. "Waspmon, talk to me." "BlackWarGreymon! Sire, we need to leave. I know you did not like it the last time I suggested it, but I assure you, we stand no chance right now." Waspmon was set on his idea, and Steve watched as attack just bounced off of it. "I am inclined to follow your advice, but we need to warn the rest." Just when Steve said this, Devimon Digivolved into something else. Clearly something more powerful. It attacked and attacked and attacked, but to no end. The attacks seemed to bounce off at best. This NeoDevimon found himself falling to the ground in no time. BlackWarGreymon went on with his rampage. "Damn there has to be a way to get to everyone." And with that he had an idea. He took the device out of his pocked, it clearly had to be good for something other than show. As he pushed the buttons different functions showed up. One showed the stats of Waspmon. Not having anything to compare these numbers to he went to another screen. This one showed blips. He looked around to see that the blips represented the other Digidetine, they must have Digivices too. There were several blips around his, but one was off in the distance. This could only mean BlackWarGreymon had a trainer, that was not good. The next function was confusing, it just showed a speaker on the screen. Then he heard a voice. "I don't want to be weak..." the voice said. Then another. "You try every other option first. Tell you what..." This was it, the Digivices could act as communication devices. Steve talked into it. "I don't know if you all can hear me, but here it goes. GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!! Waspmon and I will provide covering fire. Stay together once you leave, I'll find you." Steve had to assume the heard him. Rushing in was a sure way to get killed. He needed to stay as far away as possible. "Waspmon. Keep attacking. I don't care if you miss. Just don't hit anyone else. Understood?" Steve was impatient and wanted his comrade to start firing now. They had to hurry. "Ye sire!" Once agian his stinger glowed. "Turbo Stinger!!!" It started, and hopefully, it would work... Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 07:00 PM Dirk heard this new person yelling just as the new Digimon started it's assault on BlackWarGreymon. Dirk ran over to NeoDevimon. "come on buddy, we need to get up, we need to get out of here." BlackWarGreymon deflected the stingers being shot at him. he then worked up his energy. "TERRA DESTRO-" he then looked at NeoDevimon, Robert was now trying to pick up the Digimon. he then noticed the Digivice. "digidestined?" the large ball of energy exploded in his hands. but did little damage to him. BlackWarGreymon looked around. "if you run and take your Partners with you, i will not chase you." he said. "please run, i would prefer not to destroy you." he said. "like hell..." said NeoDevimon struggling to his feet "am i gonna run." he said. he charged forward and slashed at BlackWarGreymon with his claws, but it only seemed to make a slight indentation in his armour. BlackWarGreymon then retracted the claws on his Dramon slayer and punched NeoDevimon in the face, NeoDevimon was sent onto his back again and then turned back into Impmon. Impmon then tryed to get to his feet. "i'm... still... not.. done...." he then collapsed. Robert then picked up Impmon and put him onto his back. "put me down..." "no, i'm not letting you kill yourself." said Robert. he then scowled at BlackWarGreymon. "hate me if you will, i apologise for attacking you all, but you all have to go quickly." Vocalia 06-17-2011 08:27 PM What the?! First he attacks us. Now he asks us to flee?! Dorugamon thought. Still... She mused inside her mind, looking at her downed Digidestinied. Looking back at BlackWarGreymon, she flew down and looked at Lucas. "She will be fine... won't she?" The Digimon asked, hoisting the unconscious girl onto her back. She grabbed her Digivice in one hand. Zei had her wind knocked out of her by the shockwave resulting from Terra Destroyer's impact. Miraculously, side from bruises and minor cuts, she seemed to be doing fine. Dorugamon wasted no chance and left, but not before looking back at BlackWarGreymon. Could it be... That BlackWarGreymon also has a Digidestinied? She wondered to herself. She took flight and turned her back on the large dragon Digimon. She prepared to leave, but not without turning her head to him and saying a word that the BlackWarGreymon would least expect. "Thank you..." With that, she took flight, together with Zei, to safety. It's seems that things are more than they seem, after all... Oblivion Ascent 06-17-2011 08:56 PM Within his haunt in the Digital World, Examon watched the unfurling chaos through a tear in reality. The recent overlap of the Digital World and the human world had been troubling, to say the least. Many Digimon had moved to the newly accessible world, some blending in, some wrecking havoc, like those he watched from his window into the other world. Had he been given the free choice, he would have moved across to the other world, to quell this pitiful cain-raising. However, the being that he called his master, the Unnameable Regent of the Digital World, had given him no such permission. Due to this, all he could do was stand idly by, as his brethren Digimon made fools and destroyers of themselves. From behind him, one of his attendants, an Agumon, approached him, bowing before calling out to the stationary, fixated giant. "Lord Examon, we have word from the other Royal Knights, regarding His decision on what action to take against the crisis." "Oh? Examon boomed, in a voice that could dent metal, turning to face his attendant, looking down towards the Rookie. "He has declared this an open subject. You are to do what you feel is suitable." "Thank you, Agumon. That news is a gratification. It's about time we did something about this... travesty." As if on cue, Examon unfurled and stretched out his wings, which scraped against the walls of his chamber, before reaching towards the window, willing it to open, before slipping through into the other world... __________________________________________________ _______________ High in the sky of the human world, over the scene of the battle that had taken place minutes before, a black cloud appeared, heralded by multiple clashes of lightning and the appearance of a mild windstorm. From within the black cloud, a dark shape could be seen. A Massive. Draconic. Silhouette. PsychoScythe 06-17-2011 09:03 PM When Lucas heard the voice come in over his Digivice, he sighed. "Well, it seems we're all screwed. Everyone else is running. You sure fighting him to the death is what you want, Leomon? We've only just met, and I don't want to lose you already." Before Leomon could answer, BlackWarGreymon declared his intent to let everyone go. Lucas took it in stride, cheerfully grinning now upon realizing that his partner wouldn't need to suicidally charge at the much stronger Digimon for pride or honor or whatever idiotic excuse there was. "Well, you heard the big scary black guy. He's letting us go, and it doesn't seem like he'll kill anyone else, so let's get the hell out of here!" Leomon nodded, actually looking slightly relieved now that he wasn't facing his second death of the day. "Very well. I suppose you have a point, Lucas. If I have been honored enough to be partnered with a Digidestined, then throwing my life away would be an insult to my honor as your partner." Both human and Digimon bugged it the hell out of the battle area, heading back to Lucas's apartment. While they were running, Lucas took a moment to look up, and saw the Dorugamon from earlier carrying the unconscious girl from the battle. Stopping for a moment, Lucas took the moment to shout up at the flying Digimon. "Hey! You with the girl on your back! You wanna come with us back to my apartment?" Leomon stopped and stared at the flying dragon for a second, before speaking his mind as well. "Dorugamon! We can offer your partner a safe place to recover from her injuries!" Leomon inwardly mused that at least his partner cared for the safety of others, even if he didn't understand Leomon's honor. All in all, Lucas seemed to be a decent person, and Leomon understood his mindset about honor. The human was a practical person, one that put survival above honor or pride. Before Leomon could muse any further, he looked up into the sky, past Dorugamon, and stared in shock as he saw the incoming storm and the draconic silhouette. As he strained his senses to feel the newcomer's power, Leomon paled when he felt the unmistakeable presence of another Mega level. "Lucas, I sense another Mega level Digimon in the sky." He informed his partner, pointing up at the silhouette before shouting up at Dorugamon. "Dorugamon, land! If that Digimon is hostile, you'll be its first target!" Lucas stared up to where Leomon was pointing. Judging by how insane his day was so far, it would only get worse from here. There was only one thing he could say to that. "Fuck. My. Life." Vocalia 06-17-2011 09:17 PM "I don't know what an apartment is, but I'm definitely coming with you both!!" Dorugamon shouted back at Lucas. After a short while, a feeling of dread kicked in as she noticed a storm cloud. What now? She inwardly grumbled. Dorugamon could make out a silhouette. She was suddenly besieged by an image, one of a fading, humanoid silhouette. Just as the image abruptly visited her, it left her just as fast, leaving the airborne Digimon dazed. Why... Why do I feel that... this shadow... this aura... are familiar? She thought in confusion. "Dorugamon, land! If that Digimon is hostile, you'll be its first target!" Leomon's warning snapped Dorugamon out of her reverie. She wasted no time and landed beside the lion Digimon. "What a way to start our first day together, isn't it?" She quipped sarcastically, looking at Leomon and Lucas. The animal Digimon moved her powerful hind legs and followed the two to safety, more concerned about Zei rather than herself. Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 09:22 PM BlackWarGreymon saw the new challenger appear. "another one... this one is Mega Level, high Mega Level. chances of success are unknown." he said to himself. "Examon... please leave now, if not then i will be forced to attack." Dirk saw several of the others running off. with Impmon on his back, Dirk followed them. Oblivion Ascent 06-17-2011 09:32 PM The silhouette within the black cloud began to flicker, before it's outline became fully formed. It slowly began to descend from within the cloud, it's wings stretching outwards, spanning many tens of meters. As it's wings unfurled, the cloud that concealed it dispersed, and spread out to a greater area, revealing the from of Examon, a gigantic, black and blue dragon, glowing and crackling with electricity, and wielding an enormous lance. And then it spoke. I Am By License of He who is Nameless I have Come Thunder Heralds my Descent from the Heavens, as it also Heralds Your Demise I am the Fifth Royal Knight, the Dragon Emperor I Am Examon And I am Here… As it spoke, even more thunder crashed down. __________________________________________________ _______________ Examon surveyed the ground beneath it, speeding up his descent, and landing at the scene of the brawl, which had just ended. He looked around, catching sight of the retreating Dirk and Impmon. "Human," He boomed, lowering his stance to show that he meant no harm, "What occured here?" The Dragon Knight 06-17-2011 09:36 PM "Nooo!!!!!" Renard woke with an unpleasant start, the same nightmare that had been haunting him for weeks now. He could see his freind... his father... his mother... Gingivere dying before his eyes. A horrible monster tearing him to shreds and then thrown into a ditch. What was this vision? What was it trying to tell him? Was Gingivere's murder caused by this creature? He had no current way of telling so he tried to fall back asleep... before looking at the clock. "Oh... darn." He whispered. It read 11 Am. He was late for school... way too late for him to go now. With a quick yawn he threw the sheets off and swung his legs to the floor. The room was still dark, the thick curtains of his bed were blocking all light from entering. Plus the blinds on his window were closed. Another day... another depressing day... Throwing on his dirty clothes he wore the other day he rubbed his eyes and stepped out into the massive hallway. That was one perk of having famous parents. Everything was so big and spacious.But none of that really mattered now... he was alone. Gingivere was dead and his parents dissapeared without a trace. Not that he cared what happened to them, he just wished he was not so alone. He shrugged and began to head downstairs when a marvelous scent reached his nostrils. Sniffing curiously he grinned. "Bacon? I smell bacon! Mom and Dad are back!" Excitedly he quickly ran towards the kitchen, an adult sized shadow was visible through the doorway. "Mom! Dad! Im so glad you guys... are..." Renard stopped as a tall Fox like creature stared at him from over his shoulder as he flipped eggs. Returning to his work he spoke. "Ah, Master Renard. Breakfast is nearly done. Why don't you take a seat and relax while i get the eggs ready?" Renard felt like jelly. He wanted to run. Run far far away but he couldn't. He was petrified down to his very soul. A cold sweat broke and he began to tremble. "Hmm? Master Renard? Are you ill? You're as pale as a ghost." The creature took a step towards him and reached out a hand, but Renard quickly swatted it away and ran out the door, screaming loudly. Renamon sighed and put his face to his palm. "Oh dear... i was afraid this was going to happen." vincanity0011210 06-17-2011 09:39 PM Leon watched from the back of ExVeemon with equal confusion. After Birdramon was taken out by additional help, a larger and more dangerous black digimon came out and took swings at random parts of the city's defenders. Taking out his digivice, Leon took the information it gave about the BlackWarGreymon. Everything the pair heard filled them with increasing amount of dread until BlackWarGreymon began to leave. "Hm. He didn't wanna face a strong pair like us!" XVmon said. "Yes, Yes, I'm sure that was his exact reasoning before he left."Leon belted out sarcastically. XVmon chose to lower to the level of the rest of the people waiting, including a Leomon and Dorugamon with their Digidestined. "Hey! Has today been weird and filled with chances of death for you too?" Leon said loudly to the others, jumping off of XVmon as he skidded close to the ground. "XVmon, can you stay above us and keep an eye out for any extra danger?" "I got it Leon! You're safe with me around short stuff!" XVmon said before raising a story or two above the ground to watch out. A booming voice filled the air causing Leon to turn and take his digivice out to learn more about the newest arrival. "...Royal Knight? Another mega? What in the name of holy crap is happening! This seems weird even for these types of days... So, where are the rest of you running to?" Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 09:42 PM Dirk was frozen in mute horror. "i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i." he tried to string words together but seeing a giant dragon with thunder bursting around it, and a giant lance that could kill him without a seconds warning, kind of made it hard "we-we-we..." he swallowed hard. "we were attacked by 3 digimon. "a Dinosaur, a phoenix... and him." said Dirk. pointing at BlackWarGreymon. "i repeat, leave now before i am forced to attack." said BlackWarGreymon. Oblivion Ascent 06-17-2011 09:47 PM "Is that so..." Examon turned around, his wings retracting as he looked at BlackWargreymon. "Is this the truth, BlackWargreymon? This is not typical behavior for your kind..." As it spoke, the storm calmed, entering a dissonant serenity. "I have no intention of leaving quite yet. Fear not, I bear no intention of broquering harm onto you, unless you are indeed responsible for the chaos I have come to dispel..." The Dragon Knight 06-17-2011 09:53 PM "Master Renard! Please come down from there! Its dangerous! Please, for me?" Renamon was was looking up at Renard, who had climbed the Fireplace and was standing on the mantle. "K- Keep away from me! Im not tasty! Im not! Please- do- dont hurt me..." Renamon just sighed and rolled his eyes. "Well, when you are ready, come and eat breakfast. Ill be waiting for you. Me and you have some things we have to talk about. With that, he left for the kitchen and finished preparing breakfast. Renard stayed silent for a few minutes as he thought things through. Where did he come from? How does he know my name? Why does he keep calling me Master? So many questions, with little to no answers. The only way to know was if he talked with the creature. But what if it was hostile? He would be no match for that thing. This was obviously a situation he couldn't run from though, so he sighed and jumped down from the mantle. "Be brave... just talk.... dont make it angry." He kept repeating to himself as he took small steps towards the kitchen. Soon he had reached the doorway and cautiously peered in. There, at the table sat the creature with a plate of food in front of him. Arms crossed, Renamon did a half grin and gestured for Renard to sit. "Calm yet, Master Renard? I do hope so. Don't need you hurting yourself unnecessarily. Come. Eat and clear your thoughts. I have much to tell you." Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 09:57 PM "i do this not because i want to." replied BlackWarGreymon. "i do it because i have to... for her." he said. "now leave before i am forced to destroy you." he said. suddenly a helicoptor baring the Omega symbol on it. "this is your last chance, if you do not leave now i will have no choice." he said. Oblivion Ascent 06-17-2011 10:02 PM "Is that so? Well, as I have already said, I bear no intention of leaving quite yet. Should you answer my question, that intent may change." As he finished speaking, Examon crouched down, looking BlackWarGreymon in the face. "So, cur. Answer me this. Are you the one responsible for beginning or ending this fight, or does that blame lie elsewhere? The thunder began to pick up again, and a gigantic bolt of lightning scythed through the air, striking the ground behind Examon. PsychoScythe 06-17-2011 10:06 PM Lucas sighed as another guy and another flying Digimon approached. He liked this new guy already, though. More snark was always a good thing. In any case, he answered his question. "We're heading over to my apartment. It's only a few blocks away. Hell, let's just make it a party. I got beer, you invite the hot chicks." He smirked, before motioning them with his hand and taking off again. "Now let's get out of the open area that the big pissed off dragons can see us in." Noticing how the new guy used his Digivice to scan the new Mega level, Lucas pulled out his Digivice and fiddled with it for a few seconds before he scanned XV-mon and Dorugamon. At least now he wouldn't have to rely on Leomon for knowledge of the different varieties of Digimon. At the same time, Leomon was staring at Examon, who had finally emerged from the sky. "A Royal Knight, here?" He uttered, shocked to see one of the Digital World's defenders. "Lucas, we definitely need to get out of here now. I have a feeling that there's going to be quite a few explosions soon. There always are when Mega levels are involved. We should hurry." Leomon muttered to his partner, before leading the way back to Lucas's apartment. Vocalia 06-17-2011 10:13 PM Dorugamon ran beside Leomon, her front paws holding onto Zei and her wings folded and tucked. She could feel herself losing strength, but she kept on running. "If a Royal Knight takes notice of this, that means that whoever is the behind all this possesses a real danger to Digital World." She mused. "I'm afraid we're going to have our hands full with it now that we're here..." She sighed, looking up to another Digidestinied and his ExVeemon partner. Just how many Digidestinied are out there? This world is such an interesting place... She thought as her body moved on without halting. vincanity0011210 06-17-2011 10:21 PM "Do you consider English major dorky girls hot chicks? Cause can get about 15 of them to come over for an end of the world romp." He said back. After the joke, his mind lingered for a moment on the thought before coming back to twisted reality. "XV! Leg ride!?" Leon called up, hoping to get his partner's attention. He was greeted by the quick lowering of his legs. With a jump up, Leon grabbed onto the leg and enjoyed the flight as they quickly traveled away from the two powerhouses. Using his digivice again, he got the information of Dorugamon, then Leomon. At the angle they were at XVmon's wing flapped down and interfered with getting Leomon's date. Instead, a small image popped up with a Unique Virus Buster Digimon that flashed "DNA Synch Optimal". "What the... what the fuck is this? Oh, who the hell cares anymore. So much confusing..." Leon muttered to himself as they continued to his house. "How much farther? These guys are going to need to Devolve at some point... " PsychoScythe 06-17-2011 10:33 PM "That depends. Hot dorky or dorky dorky?" Lucas shot back, grinning as they finally reached his apartment building. Leomon devovled back into Elecmon as they walked into the lobby. Surprisingly, the doorman wasn't there, so Lucas headed straight over to the elevators. Unfortunately, there was a sign posted on the elevator doors saying "Out of Order". Grumbling under his breath, Lucas lead the group up the stairs until they reached the sixth floor, where his apartment was. Unlocking the door, Lucas let everyone in, before entering himself. Elecmon promptly leapt onto the couch and turned the television on, having been enraptured by the device a few hours earlier. The apartment itself was quite small and spartan, but it was well-cleaned. "Welcome to my humble little bachelor pad. Make yourselves at home." He snarked as he plopped down on the couch next to Elecmon, changing the channel to the local news station, which was currently playing Examon's appearance from the sky. The Dragon Knight 06-17-2011 10:34 PM "Sounds like a storm is brewing..." Renamon said suspiciously. He could feel something in the air... something deep and powerful. But he just shrugged it off and turned to Renard who was busily working away at his eggs. "Master Renard. Are you listening to me? This is very important information and you must pay attention." Renard simply nodded. "Okay. So first of all, you are wondering who and what i am. My name is Renamon and i am what is known as a Digimon, or a Digital Monster. Digimon are the creatures that inhabit the world known as the Digital World, which looks a lot like yours. In fact, our worlds are parallel to each other. Think of our world as a shadow to yours. Now, surely you have noticed the strange going ons around here? This is because our world is somehow merging with yours. I myself have no clue as to what the cause of it is but whatever it is, it must be stopped. This is where you come in. You are what is known as a DigiDestined and i am your Digimon Partner." Renard nodded as he spoke, making sure to get every piece of information down to the letter. "And im supposed to help you stop this? Okay. Is there a way how?" Renamon shrugged and sighed. "I am not sure. But a thing that you CAN help with is my Digivolution. You see, us Digimon have the ability to evolve to an even stronger being. But it is usually incredibly difficult and requires a massive amount of energy. A DigiDestined though can help their Digimon evolve by using their Digivice, a contraption that is held by all DigiDestined." Renard's eyes went wide. "You mean... there's more? So im not the only one?" Renamon nodded. "Correct. There are others, but im not sure how many. You need to activate your Digivice, which i just so happen to have right here." Renamon held up a closed fist. Upon opening, it revealed a stranger cellular phone shaped device. "Go on then. Take it. It is now yours." Renamon smiled as Renard slowly reached for it and took it from Renamon's hand. "So... this is the Digivice? Odd looking thing." Renamon just laughed. "That's what i thought too." Renard laughed along with Renamon. It was nostalgic. The only one who could make him laugh like that was... "Gingivere...?" Renamon stopped laughing and stared at Renard who was gawking. "Master Renard...? Is there a problem?" Renard just shook his head slowly. "Nothing... you just remind me of someone." Renamon Nodded. "I know who. Your butler, right? Gingivere? He was killed by Myotismon not that long ago." Renard quickly stood up and grabbed Renamon by his neck. "You know what happened to him?! How?!" Pushing Renard away, Renamon gasped out for air and glared angrily at Renard. "Dont... you... ever... do ... that... again!" Rubbing his neck he cleared his throat and continued speaking. "Yes. I do know. Because i was there to witness it. But i could not do anything because Myotismon is... well... he is far too powerful for me." Renard's heart was shattered. He fell to his knees and groaned in misery. "Renamon...? Is this true? No... no..." Renamon walked over to Renard and crouched beside him. "Master Renard... i cant even fathom the pain you must be feeling, but for now sadness will get us nowhere. You can mourn later. For now, we have to find a way to stop the destruction of both of our worlds. So come on. Cheer up, go wash up, and we will head out for our journey!" Renard looked up at Renamon's face, tears dripping from his eyes. "Renamon... im so sorry you have to see me cry..." Renamon patted his back and smiled. "No need to apologize, Renard. I am now here for you every step of the way." Renard smiled and stood up. "Do... do you mind if i call you Gingivere?" Though slightly shocked, Renamon understood why he wished to call him that. "Of course, Master Renard. Anything for you." And with that the two walked out the Mansions front door and started down the path towards the city. Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 10:41 PM "i started this fight because i have to." he said. the helicoptor was now flying lower. "alright, i have no choice now. "TERRA DESTROYER!!!" he threw the ball at Examon. Dirk looked back to see Black throw the first attack. "this can't be good. those 2 big guys are about to go at it." "let me at the pineapple head..." said Impmon feebly. Vocalia 06-17-2011 10:46 PM As the group reached Lucas's apartment, Dorugamon dedigivolved back into a Dorumon. She followed the group inside and looked around before laying Zei on a nearby couch. The Digimon surveyed her surroundings carefully, studying the nearest objects around her as she moved all around the room. Occasionally, she would sniff and prod at objects she saw, but she quickly moved on to examine every corner of the apartment. A short while latter, the girl in white stirred awake with a soft moan. "Where... am I?" She asked, looking around. She could tell that she was in another place, perhaps rescued by other people. Then her mind clicked and she sat up, alert and cautious. Oblivion Ascent 06-17-2011 10:57 PM As the 'Terra Destroyer' shot towards Examon, there was an almighty roar and a burst of energy as it was suddenly struck by a thunderbolt, destroying it, but also blowing a massive hole in the earth around the combatants., and causing a few cracks to appear in the wings and armor of the Royal Knight. Had the attack hit, it would have likely earned BlackWarGreymon the upper hand in the coming battle. "Impressive... Others of your kind fail to produce attacks even half the size and ferocity of that one..." There was a crackling noise as Examon began to glow, becoming opaque as it's form began to flicker and bend out of shape. "It really is a shame that I must do what I am about to do, but as a Royal Knight, it is my duty to eliminate those who act shamefully, and blaspheme against His wishes..." There was a roar, as Examon's entire form completed it's shift into pure electrical energy. The Examon shaped mass of energy took to a fighting stance. It's wings extended. And it lunged towards BlackWarGreymon. "THUNDER OF THE REGENTS!!!" The Dragon Knight 06-17-2011 11:10 PM As Renard and Gingivere walked into the city Renard gasped at the all of the destruction around him. "Gingivere?! What happened?!" Gingivere could only grimace at the horrible sight. Sighing he looked over at Renard and frowned. "See what happens when worlds collide? This is why he have to stop whatever it is that's happening." Renard couldn't even speak. He was so shocked at what had become of the city that he began to feel light headed... until he heard a huge explosion. "Gwaaahhh!!! That sounded like Lightning and Thunder!" Gingivere used his arm to block Renard from taking anymore steps. "Stop... do you feel that?" "Feel what? Gingivere, what is going on?" Gingevere grimaced as a wave of energy washed over him. "Oh no... it cant be... Renard, stay close behind me. This is about to get terribly messy. As the two ran along the streets of the city, the sounds of battle could easily be heard, echoing off the walls of the large buildings that surrounded them. BOOM! Another Lightning bolt. Renard yelled something, but was washed out by the deafening thunder that followed. Soon they reached a corner but before Renard could step out, Gingivere grabbed him and held a finger up. "Quiet!" He hissed, as he looked around the corner of the building they were hiding behind. What Gingivere saw was horrifying, evident by his terrified gasp. "I was right! It is him! Examon... why has he come to Earth?! And BlackWarGreymon is with him! Has the apocalypse already come?!" Renard was fearful, but intensely curious. "Gingivere, im gonna check it out!" He said as he ran from cover and into the open street. "NO!!! RENARD DONT!!" Mattmanganon 06-17-2011 11:33 PM BlackWarGreymon saw Renard running through the street. this was gonna be one hell of an explosion, he quickly threw his Dramon slayer into the ground in front of Renard and drew his shield, attaching it to the bare arm. "YOU THINK IT WOULD BE THAT EASY?! MEGA DESTROYER!!!" he then drew up a giant version of his Terra Destroyer and threw it at the digimon charging at him. he then dived down to cover the kid with his Shield over the both of them. vincanity0011210 06-17-2011 11:43 PM As they approached the building, Leon gave a tug on XVmon's tail. "Hey! Let me off here. Stay until you Devolve. I'll be right back!" he said, ignoring the looks that he received from XVmon. Once he was dropped Leon found his way to the closest fast food place and ordered two arms full of food. After getting the bags stuffed together and making his way back to the house Leon found Veemon waiting for him. Leon nodded up the stairs. "Lets go! Don't you want food?" "Food? Oh hell yes! Shoulda told me thats what you were doing!" Veemon said, grabbing a bag from Leon and running up the stairs, racing his Digidestined the whole time. "Hey! Leon got us food!" Veemon said in a happy voice, taking the food out on the table and beginning to dive in. Leon made his way to the couch in time to hear the girls question. "Your in the house of a guy whose name I still don't know. My name is Leon and we're both digidestineds too." Leon said quietly, not knowing if her head hurt. Taking out a couple parts of the meal and a bottle of water he put it down in front of her. "I know we haven't done as much work as these guys, but were should stay fueled up as well.May I ask what your name is?" Leon asked, looking around for the owner of the apartment. The Dragon Knight 06-17-2011 11:49 PM "MASTER RENARD!!!" Gingivere ran up to Renard, gasping for air. "What the hell did i tell you?! I told you to stay put! These Digimon are dangerous! You could have been killed if not for BlackWarGreymon, you idiot!" Renard could only stare in fear as Gingevere pulled him from the ground and ran off the opposite direction. "My apologies BlackWarGreymon! Thank you for saving him!" He said as they returned to their hiding spot. "You... idiot!! If you do anything like that again ill tan you alive, you hear me! I swear its like babysitting!" Renard, filled with guilt, looked at the ground. "Sorry Gingivere... i wasn't thinking..." Gingevere relaxed a bit and closed his eyes. "Please... just dont do that again. You scared me nearly half to death. If i lose you that could mean the end of both our worlds. This is not some game you know, this is real life!" Renard nodded. "I know... it wont happen again. I was just wondering why they were fighting." Gingivere glanced over at Examon and shook his head. "I dont know, but its best not to get in their way." Vocalia 06-17-2011 11:57 PM "Food?" Dorumon poked her head out, a lettuce in her jaws. She had taken the liberty to examine Lucas' fridge and took some food for herself, said food included a slice of apple pie, two chicken legs, several oranges and apples and, as shown by the green leaf dangling from her mouth, lettuce. She swung the leaf up and opened her jaws, clamping the vegetable down in an instant before looking at the food Veemon brought with him. Sniffing each carefully, she found their scent to be rather tasty and began to dig in. Surprisingly, the female Digimon possessed a rather big appetite as she mowed down her share in record time. The girl turned to Leon. "My name is Zei. Zei Yasuragi." She replied. "I'm sorry... I've caused so much trouble..." She said politely, shifting her position so that her back properly leaned onto the couch. "It's nice to meet you, Leon." She bowed her head, looking around the apartment. She saw Dorumon devouring her food and eyeing on Elecmon's share. Oblivion Ascent 06-18-2011 12:00 AM The 'Mega Destroyer' tore into the Energy Contruct, and suddenly, a huge maelstrom of energy tore upwards from the point of impact, sending out a rather large shockwave. After a few seconds, the maelstrom shrunk down and dissipated, with a reformed Examon standing where the epicenter had been. "Interesting," He boomed, taking a step towards BlackWarGreymon, "I'll admit that I was foolish to underestimate you. However, this stupidity must come to an-" *BZZT* Examon paused. He looked down at his body, which was flickering rapidly, and making hazardous buzzing noises. His eyes widened. "Oh," This wasn't the flickering that foreshadowed him dropping a few Digivolutionary levels to recover from a wound. "Oh," It was the flickering that told him that reforming after taking that direct 'Mega Destroyer' had made his data and compostion dangerously unstable, and that in a short period of time, he would detonate, and have his data recombined into a Digi-Egg. "Oh, SHIT." PsychoScythe 06-18-2011 12:24 AM Lucas turned over to the two other humans in his apartment, and took a burger from the food-laden table and ate a bit of it before speaking up."I'm Lucas Seyour, and this is Elecmon." He motioned over to the aforementioned Digimon, who was currently tearing into his own share of fast food, snarling at Dorimon when she started eyeing it. "Oh, and uh, Dorimon? That lettuce you ate was kind of expired. I don't even know why I bought it in the first place, actually. Hell, I don't even like salad." He uttered sheepishly as he finished his burger, and moved on to his fries. Elecmon had finished devouring his share of food, and sighed in contentment, before leaping back on to the couch, sitting next to Lucas. On the television, the battle between Examon and BlackWarGreymon was being displayed. Elecmon watched eagerly to see two pinnacles of digital strength duke it out. The explosion that resulted from the collision of Examon's Thunder of the Regents and BlackWarGreymon's Mega Destroyer was immense. Lucas whistled as Examon emerged, seemingly unharmed. Elecmon, however, narrowed his eyes as he saw the Royal Knight's body begin to flicker, and paled as he realized the implications. "Impossible..." Elecmon gasped as he reached for a cup of soda, sipping some through the straw before he spoke once more. "Even a Royal Knight was defeated..." If even one of the Digital World's strongest defenders was taken down by this BlackWarGreymon, what options did they have left? Mattmanganon 06-18-2011 12:37 AM "i am sorry. i didn't want to do that. but..." he pointed to the Helicoptor flying overhead. "i had no choice." he picked up the Dramon Slayer and re-attached it. he then turned to the child and the Renamon. "do not try to involve yourselves in battles that do not concern you. you could have been killed." he then looked up at the helicoptor. "mission completed, returning." he then took into the air. Dirk entered Lucas' apartment and put Impmon down on the sofa. "come on Impmon, don't die on me." light began to surround Impmon. a tear rolled down Dirks cheek. "no Impmon. don't die on me..." he sniffed. he hugged Impmon's limp body. but then his body changed, it got rounder. the light disappeared and all that was left now was a head. it opened it'd eyes. "what's up with you Pineapple head?" asked the head digimon. "IMPMON YOU'RE ALIVE!!!" he hugged him even harder. the creature looked itself over. "crap, i'm Yaamon again. this is your fault." "you act tough but i'm just so happy that your alive." sniffed Dirk. "ok, get off, i NEED TO BREATHE." wheezed Yaamon. "oh, sorry." Vocalia 06-18-2011 12:42 AM Dorumon shrugged, ignoring Elecmon's snarls as she finished her food. "Unlike humans, some Digimons' digestive system doesn't recognise expiry, mine being one. As long as it's food, it's food." She replied. "And how do you know about me?" She looked at him. "I think... He was using his Digivice..." Zei pointed out, looking at the object Lucas had with him. "Speaking of Digivice..." Dorumon handed Zei hers. "Be more careful next time." She said to her and laid down beside her on the couch, watching the battle through the television. The two listened to Elecmon. "Royal Knight?" Zei asked. "Protectors of the Digital World... or so they claimed to be." Dorumon replied, showing a hint of disdain towards the term. "Supposedly, they are some of the most powerful Digimons to roam the land. If this BlackWarGreymon managed to defeat one of the Royal Knights..." She frowned. "Then our future is grim indeed." She said. Zei looked at the battle with concern and fear, clutching her white Digivice close to her. She felt helpless watching the two powerful beings battling against each other. Could there be more of them? Would our world finally plunge into destruction? The girl asked herself, the pressure setting in on her. When Dirk finally arrived with Impmon, the girl was worried, seeing the Digimon's battered state. However, when he dedigivolve and was up and about, she sighed in relief. However, judging from what the news was broadcasting, the BlackWarGreymon was still out there, ready to kill them. She knew she couldn't mope around. There must be something we could do... She thought, looking at her own Digivice. vincanity0011210 06-18-2011 12:50 AM Leon's eyebrows raised as another person came in. "Hm. How many people know this is a Digidestined hideaway?" He said, throwing another bag of food to Dirk. "Hey Man. I'm Leon, my Partner's Veemon. This is Zei, her friend is Dorimon, and our host Lucas is paired with Elekmon.... and apparently you're pineapple head and your Digimon... is... was.... Impmon?" He said casually, finally getting used to all the different creatures since none were currently attacking him. Letting out a sigh, he looked back to the TV, watching the remnants from the battle. "Man... I wish we were strong enough to stop him Vee..." he began to stare at his own digivice for a minute before looking up to Veemon, who had an overly determined look on his face. Veemon put his hand over the Digivice. "Leon... we can beat him! Look! Theres already four of us! I'm sure we can get stronger. Don't start doubting already when we haven't even begun to fight yet!" Watching closely, Leon couldn't help but be inspired by the dinomon. With a smirk, Leon and Veemon bumped fists. "Your right short stuff, we'll kick some ass when we have to." Turning to the others, he sighed once again. "So... Veemon's egg replaced my computer monitor and then saved me from two computer mice digimon after two hours of running away. How did you meet your partners?" Oblivion Ascent 06-18-2011 01:01 AM The flickering on Examon's body began to speed up. He sighed "Well, boom." As if on cue, he was enveloped in a white light, and with an inhuman screech, he imploded. All manner of debris began to be pulled towards the epicenter of the implosion, as was the energy of any nearby Digimon. After about ten seconds, the white light abated, and the vacumn vanished. Examon was no more. Mattmanganon 06-18-2011 01:01 AM "no, my name is Dirk." "nah, you got it right the first time, his name is Pineapple head." said Yaamon. "quiet you." he said. "so yeah, my name is Dirk, i live over in shinjuk-" at that point he remembered Kate. "FUCK!!!" he got out his mobile phone. "PICK UP PICK UP PICK UP!!!" he said panicing, a minute passed with no reply. "SHIT!!!" he yelled throwing the mobile at the floor. Vocalia 06-18-2011 01:09 AM "Dirk, please calm down." Zei stood up, touching his shoulder. "Panicking won't do us any good." She said to him before turning to Leon. "Umm... I was staying for my shift at a pet store where I work when a quake hit the building. Once it subsided, I found an egg and it hatched into..." She looked at her Partner. "Dorumon, but I was a Dodomon when you first met me.." Dorumon replied. "Ah, I see..." Zei nodded. "That's how we met, to summarise everything..." PsychoScythe 06-18-2011 02:48 AM To his credit, Lucas looked ashamed and embarrassed when he began his explanation. "Well, I met Elecmon this morning. He was a Leomon then, and he was fighting some black dinosaur Digimon." "It was a DarkTyrannomon." Elecmon chimed in helpfully, sipping his soda. "Right, well anyways, the DarkTyrannomon saw me and rushed me, thinking that it would kill me and load my data so it would have the power to take on Leomon. I don't think I realized that humans aren't made of data. Freaking idiot. Well, Leomon saved me and killed the DarkTyrannomon, but he got hit in the process and he...died." Lucas muttered, his eyes downcast as he recalled his own weakness getting Leomon killed. "I told you, Lucas. It wasn't your fault." Elecmon comforted Lucas, patting him on the back while smiling sheepishly. "If anything, it was mine. I should've just punched him instead of taking that hit. It would've stopped him from attacking you too. I'm an idiot." Elecmon uttered, sighing as he recalled his own tactical mistake. "You know what? Screw the angst. We both fucked up. That work for you?" Lucas said, mentally slapping himself for angsting like a whiny little emo. "Completely." Elecmon chuckled, while finishing his soda. "Anyways. After Leomon died, he reformatted into an egg and hatched as a Punimon, and that's it, really." Lucas finished, grabbing a soda for himself and gulping some down. Oblivion Ascent 06-18-2011 10:46 AM Over the other side of the city, Siggy stared, dumbstruck at what he had jut seen on the news. He decides to have a lie-in to make up for his overnight attempts to get a job, and the city park gets blown to pieces by a giant Dragon and a black humanoid dinosaur? Figures. On the TV, the Anchor, who seemed to have become extremely overexcited by this, for reasons unknown, began to play back the last few minutes of the fight, with 'Commentary'. "So, here's this Giant Enemy Dragon..." His Co-Anchor stared at him blankly, before speaking up. "Uh, Hideaki, are you sure that this is a good ide-" He was cut off by the Anchor yelling "Combo Breaker!" as Examon smashed into the Mega Destroyer, before yelling "Super Effective!" as Examon's form burst upwards into the massive maelstrom of energy, while his Co-Anchor went silent, and stared at him incredulously. As Examon began to flicker, and then implode, the Anchor threw his arms up, and gave a wooping cheer. "FATALITY! BlackLizardThingy wins! Flawless Victory!" "Shut up, Hideaki," His Co-Anchor growled, rubbing his temples and coming to his senses, before turning to address the viewers/audience. "There you have it, folks. Monsters have crossed over into our world, and are wreaking havoc and destruction. As per common sense, you are advised to keep clear of all-" At this point, Siggy just sighed, grabbed the remote, and flicked the Tv off. "F_cking Metal," He grumbled to himself. While he lived over the other side of the town from the battle, and there wouldn't be any real problems made for him, for some reason, the battle had put his computer, as well as many others, on the fritz. The Dragon Knight 06-18-2011 04:31 PM Renard couldn't believe what he just saw. That one attack managed to completely obliterate a titan of that size. He could only tremble as BlackWarGreymon spoke to him. It was Gingivere who answered. "Yes sir. I humbly apologize for his foolishness." Turning to Renard, who was close to bursting, he sighed and patted his head. "There there, Master Renard. Its fine now. See what happens though? Remember that. Don't get into fights that aren't yours. Got it?" Renard nodded. Though he didn't exactly hear what Gingivere said through the intense pounding of his heart. "So... looks like we dont know where to go... Any suggestions, Master Renard?" Mattmanganon 06-18-2011 06:27 PM BlackWarGreymon landed in the assembly area. "good hunting?" asked the Leader BlackWarGreymon said nothing. instead he sat down as one man plugged something into the back of his neck, the other end of it was hooked up to a computer. "according to the data, you took out a champion, an ultimate and a mega." said the person on the computer "all data sent to HQ, sir." "good, for all of your good work, i will allow you 10 minutes." said the leader to BlackWarGreymon. "but... the Mega level was one of the royal guard." "15 minutes, and be glad of it." said the Leader with a hint of frustration in his voice. "thank you master." replied BlackWarGreymon. he got back into the box he had come from and it closed again. the box was then loaded onto the helicoptor. Oblivion Ascent 06-18-2011 07:40 PM Meanwhile, in Siggy's 'office', his computer began to act up. It's screen turned on, and began to glow blue, before a mass of sigils and symbols, before an extremely loud and distorted version of it's Startup Chime sounded. in the living room, Siggy was just about to turn the TV back on, when he was suddenly jumped by the sound of his computer turning itself on, and producing a demonic version of it's Startup Chime. "Frack," he mumbled to himself, visibly startled, before slowly getting up, and heading for his 'office'. Slowly creeping towards the room, not taking any chances for fear of what he may find, he stopped and took a peek through a gap between the door and the door frame. What he saw shocked and appalled (Well, maybe not appalled) him. His computer was now glowing violently with a deep dark blue, with the occasional black or purple flash. "Hells bells," Siggy said with a groan, making his way towards the computer. Mattmanganon 06-19-2011 05:15 PM the Box containing BlackWarGreymon passed through a large door and entered into a bright white room, the box openned and BlackWarGreymon exited the box, in the corner was a young girl, she couldn't have been more than 6. she ran over to Black and hugged his leg, it was all she could grab. "BLACKWARGREYMON, I MISSED YOU!!!" "15 minutes." said the guard. "hello Ruby." said BWG. "BlackWarGreymon, where have you been?" she asked. "i have been having to do some work for these people." he said. "but why? they are mean people." she replied. "because... you'll understand when you're older." he said. he took off his Dramon Slayers and picked up Ruby. "so what have you been up to?" he asked. "they gave me crayons because i was bored." she replied. "i drew this picture for you." she reached in her pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper, she then unfolded it to reveal a crudely drawn picture of the 2 of them together in a forest, holding hands with large pink flowers around them. "do you like it?" she asked. "it's beautiful." he replied. "look, i may not be able to get you out of here now, but i promise, one day, we will be able to go for a walk in the woods together." he said. "but why can't we go now." she asked. "because the bad people won't let us." the temptation for him to Black Tornado through the wall and escape with her was immense, but he knew that if he did so... he shook his head. "well, we only have 10 more minutes, what do you want to do?" asked BWG. "we can draw some more." she suggested. BlackWarGreymon smiled. "that sounds lovely, maybe you can draw me another beautiful picture." he said. "yeah!!!" she said, her face beamed. she jumped down and began to draw another picture, BWG simply stood and watched, he was perfectly content just being around her, it was a moment that he hoped would last forever. but after about 8 minutes, she finished her picture. this one was a picture of lots of the men in black suits lying around BlackWarGreymon with X's for eyes. "this will happen, you'll beat them all up and we'll get out of here, sometime... right?" she asked. "yeah, that will happen." he said. "but not today." suddenly the door opened and a man walked in "times up." said the man, BlackWarGreymon hugged Ruby and then put her down. "i have to go now. i'll be back though." he said. he then reattached the Dramon Slayers and walked out of the room, he was met by the Leader. "cute kid." he commented. "you must be so very pissed off at me." he said. suddenly BlackWarGreymons hand shot out and grabbed the man by the throat, he positioned his other arm so that the Claws of his Dramon Slayers were millimetres away from the man's eyes. he lifted him up. "go on." he wheezed. "i dare you. but one little push of a button... and the girl is gone like that Birdramon you killed." he said. BlackWarGreymon put him down. "that's better, now back in the box." he said. BWG got back into the box and sat down. the Leader straightened his uniform and walked away. he then entered his office and sat down at his computer. with what we are cooking up, soon BlackWarGreymon will become obsolete and we can dispense with him. he thought. the computer now had pictures of BlackWarGreymon, Birdramon, Vikaralamon, MegaKabutarimon, Examon and NeoDevimon. sooon all of the pieces will be on the board and then we even my pawns, rooks, bishops... even my queen will be rendered redundant. all i will need is it... he thought with an evil smirk on his face. Oblivion Ascent 06-19-2011 05:55 PM "As Siggy took a step towards the computer, a bolt of electricity shot out from it, and zapped him, seemingly as a warning. Siggy yelled something out, jumping backwards and knocking into a table, sending both it and himself crashing to the ground, and making quite a loud noise. "Ugh, what the hell?" he groaned, in shock and disbelief, rubbing his head. As he said this, he heard a noise coming from the other room. "Siggy, what's going on..." A little, tired voice squeaked from the other room, just audible over the demonic hum of the computer. "Don't worry Ari, nothing bad's happening, go back to sleep," Siggy said, to his little sister, who, by the sound of it, had been woken by the noise of the table falling over. The little six year-old had recently caught a cold, so she was off school for a while. She had always been quick to take ill, and that was another reason Siggy being here was so important. "Ok..." The voice said weakly, before it was drowned out by the computer's erratic behaviour went into overdrive. Siggy turned to look at the computer once more. The monitor was being slowly filled with 1's and 0's, spelling out a message in binary. Spoiler Any message the code was supposed to relay was obviously lost on Siggy, as he had no grasp of the programming language whatsoever. However, about ten seconds after the message stopped writing itself out, an oval outline appeared on the Monitor. And then it began to push out from the screen. The shape progressed 5 centimeters, before rounding out. From that point, it went for another 5 centimeters, before closing round, to make a 3d, egg shaped mass of what appeared to be electricity. Siggy stared at this, and raised an eyebrow. This was just too bizarre. He wondered whether it had really been a good idea to eat that Week Old Yoghurt in the back of the fridge after all. As he mulled over whehter his mental state was indeed warped, the egg shape began to descend towards the floor, and as it made contact, it solidified, and the Computer Monitor turned off. For the time being, he put his contemplation to the side, and went to get a better look at the egg. It was predominantly black, with a few white lines accompanied by a blue glow. Tilting his head, Siggy reached out to touch it... Before he was interrupted by a squeal of joy from behind him. "EGGIE!" Ari yelled, rushing towards it as fast as she could. "Uh, Ari... I'm not usre if that's such a good idea," Siggy said, in a concerned tone, as his little sister kneeled down and 'hugged' the large egg. "Aw, come on big bro, don't be such a big meanie," Ari giggled, sticking her tongue out at her brother. Siggy sighed. Ari was well behaved, and actually listened to him, a stark contrast from their 13 year old brother. However, at the moment, the mysterious egg seemed to be overriding that, and that coupled with the fact that the girl wasn't supposed to be rushing around and getting excited while she was off sick with a fever, really didn't help Siggy when thirded with his jilted mindset after a freaking egg had come out of his broken computer. "Ari..." Siggy was just about to cross his arms, when suddenly, the egg started shaking. Ari stopped 'hugging' it, and took a step back. "Siggy, what's the eggie do-" She was interrupted by the egg suddenly being fully enveloped by a white and blue glow. As the light cleared, in the egg's place was a black and white blob, with what appeared to be an undersized pair of bat wings that appeared to be where it's ears should be. For a moment, both Siggy and Ari stared at the blob in open-mouthed confusion. And then it spoke. "Ah, greetings, humans. I am MonoJyarimon, the 'reincarnation' of Examon, 5th Member of the Royal Knights." Before either Siggy or Ari could say anything, a glowing shape resembling a Mobile Phone or a PDA appeared next to Siggy's head, which he promptly reached out and grabbed, turning it round in his hands, looking at it in confusion. At the same time, MonoJyariimon's eyes widened, and it's mouth fell open. "... And it appears that you have been chosen to be my partne-" He was suddenly cut off by Ari producing a shriek of delight that easily trumped her earlier one, before reaching out to grab the digimon, yelling "Squishy!" before pulling him into a 'hug', much like how she had done with the egg. There was a shocked grunt of "Guh" from MonoJyarimon, before he found his face buried in the front of Ari's pajamas. MonoJyarimon struggled a little against the small girl's grip, pulling his face free after a few seconds. He took a few desperate, deep breaths, before noticing that Siggy was staring at him in utter disbelief, with one of his eyebrows twitching. MonoJyarimon sighed, before speaking once more. "Perhaps I should explain from the beginning..." Mattmanganon 06-20-2011 10:04 PM 1 week has passed since the battle with BlackWarGreymon, most of the city is under repair and we have all come to know each other better. there have been no more attacks, but I think that this is just the calm before the storm, Impmon thinks that all of the Digimon became too scared of him when they saw NeoDevimon, i humour him. Kate still doesn't know about Impmon, she just thinks that i got a really big stuffed toy. why BlackWarGreymon attacked us is still a mystery, but i hope that in time his reasons will become clear, i just pray that next time we meet, me and Impmon can become Beelzemon again. Dirk finished his diary entry on his Laptop and closed the lid. "hey, pineapple head, why you got somethin' as girly as a diary?" asked Impmon. "it allows me to keep my thoughts together." replied Dirk. "sounds sissy to me." replied the imp. "alright, well." he looked at his watch. "it is Saturday morning, lets go see the others." he said. they had decided to meet every weekend at Lucas' apartment as he lived alone, it was easiest to conceal. vincanity0011210 06-20-2011 11:00 PM "Yes Mom, Veemon is very scary. No he didn't mean to eat... You ate the entire turkey?" Leon said, turning his head to Veemon who was trying to casually look in any other direction but Leon's. "Vee! Why'd you do that?" "You left me alone! I got bored so I ate! At least if I have to digivolve I'll be fully set for awhile..." Veemon said as if it was all self-explanitory. "Plus, we're getting so close to the Ultimate form that I need every piece of food I can get!" As they arrived to Lucas's place, Leon and Veemon looked around for anyone else. Seeing no one outside they made there way up the stairs. Veemon decided to use his head for a knocker as Leon yelled for Lucas through the door. Oblivion Ascent 06-20-2011 11:42 PM Siggy rolled over in his sleep, snoring slightly. "Hey, lazybum," A voice chimed, "There's something important I need to tell you..." Siggy ignored the voice due to his stay in slumberland, and he rolled over again. "Seriously, I'm not joking, this is very important. Once again, the voice gained no response, and Siggy merely b3gan to snore louder. "... You know what, screw this. ARI! YOU'RE NEEDED IN HERE!" On cue, the little girl rushed into the room, and jumped on her snoring brother, rousing him from his sleep. "Just five more minutes..." "Like hell, all you ever do is sleep, lazybum..." "You know, big bro, he does have a point..." Siggy groaned, sitting up in his bed, and rubbing his eyes clean, looking at the offending duo. "First of, MonoGigimon, all you ever do is eat and form evil plans with Ari that involve me getting covered in pudding. Secondly, Ari, you're supposed to be sick. What's with all the energy?" MonoGigimon rolled his eyes, while Ari giggled and stuck her tongue out at her older brother, before getting off of him and going back to her own room, skipping. "It's hard to believe that an adorable little thing like that is related to you, lazybum." "Shut up, MonoGigimon," Siggy said, sighing. The last week had been interesting, to say the least. After MonoJyarimon had explained everything, Siggy had been at a total loss. Not only was there another world that was full of Data Monsters, but this tiny little creature was the same as the massive dragon that had squared off against the BlackLizardThingy (Now identified as BlackWarGreymon) and imploded. Not only that, but Siggy was told that he was a Digidestined, someone who could cause a Digimon to advance to a higher stage of power at will, and was responsible for keeping order. Naturally, he nodded, and went along with it. After MonoJyarimon had proved that he was indeed telling the truth, things had had to be worked out. The three of them (Ari had held herself to secrecy, a surprising acheivement, considering her age) had agreed not to reveal the Digimon's existance to the other member of the household, Siggy and Ari's 13 year old brother, James. This was mostly due to the fact that the kid had no ability to keep a secret, and was generally a bit of an ass. Ignorance was bliss, and a lot less painful for MonoGigimon. Besides that, at first, the digimon had been of a very honorable temperment, and had been highly respectful of Siggy and Ari. A few days later, after digivolving one level, he had become cheeky to Siggy, and seemed to respect Ari more than he did his partner. MonoGigimon claimed that this was his personality changing due to his new form, but Siggy thought otherwise. "Diddums," The digimon chirped, before regaining his composure. "Anyhow, there are actually two things that I need to tell you. One is that I've heard a few titbits about other Digidestined here and there, and there are definitely others about the place. That and I ate your cat." "I don't have a cat." "Then I ate your neighbour's cat." "My neighbour doesn't have a cat either." "I ate A cat, Happy now?" "No." "Damnit." PsychoScythe 06-20-2011 11:54 PM Two days after the battle: "Lucas, there's something I haven't told you yet." Elecmon muttered to Lucas. Both human and Digimon were in their apartment, and Lucas was cooking dinner. Steak and mashed potatoes this time, as all he knew how to cook was Western food, seeing as he had spent his childhood living in America before both of his parents had gotten job changes that had sent them to Japan. "What is it, Elecmon? Some matter of life or death?" Lucas joked, grinning all the while. Thankfully, his neighborhood hadn't even been touched from the battle against BlackWarGreymon, and his apartment was mostly intact. That being said, the other guys with Digimon had left the place in quite a mess, and Lucas had spent most of the day after cleaning his apartment. (Lucas blatantly refused to use the word Digidestined, thinking it sounded ridiculous. Even something like Chosen Children would sound far less stupid. At least those were actual words.) To his delight, classes at the university had been canceled for the week, as the campus had taken quite a hit from the boar Digimon's rampage. If anything, Elecmon looked even more uncomfortable after Lucas's statement. "In a sense, yes. You know my kind, the Leomon and their variants, right? Well, they are cursed, in a sense. Across every tale in the Digital World, from The Chronicles of the Eight Children to The Legend of the Reaper, there has always been a Leomon or variant evolution, and each one has died." Lucas wasn't fazed by this, and simply gave Elecmon a pointed stare in return. "Just because writers enjoy killing your kind off doesn't mean Leomons and their variants are cursed." "Well, this also has basis in real life. Every Leomon or evolution I've known has died. Often horribly and painfully. For example, an IceLeomon in my old pack was once lit on fire and his data was consumed by ravenous Bakemon while he was still sentient. Three other Elecmon were brutally mutilated by a rampaging Tyrannomon, and the list goes on. Out of everyone in my original pack, I am the only survivor. Eventually, I concluded that the Sovereigns simply hate our kind and wished to make us suffer." Elecmon concluded gravely as he sighed. As the smell of cooked steak reached Elecmon's nose, he sniffed the air in delight and began to stride over to the kitchen. "Ooh, dinner. Wonderful." "...What." Was Lucas's only response to Elecmon's explanation as the four-legged Digimon pulled himself onto a chair, eagerly awaiting his steak. Five days after the battle: Elecmon whistled cheerfully as he opened an air vent and dropped down into Lucas's apartment, concluding his nightly explorations of Lucas's neighborhood. The human world was just so fascinating, with gigantic skyscrapers that dwarfed most Digimon-made structures he'd seen in his travels across the Digital World. As he made his way over to Lucas's room, he began to hear strange noises coming from it, including Lucas sounding like he was moaning in pain. Thinking Lucas was under attack, Elecmon burst into Lucas's room snarling, tails charged with electricity and scanning for an opponent. To his surprise, Lucas was merely unclothed while appearing to be wrestling a human female, also naked. Upon taking in the visage of a snarling monster covered in electricity, the female began to scream shrilly while Lucas buried his face in his right palm. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" The girl shrieked, cowering in fear when she saw Elecmon. The Digimon himself was bemused. He didn't think his appearance was that frightening. "Minako, I can explain." Lucas sighed, wondering how he was going to get out of this one. This was almost as bad as the time Naoka caught him making out with Anise in high school. "THAT'S ONE OF THOSE MONSTERS THAT ATTACKED THE CITY, ISN'T IT?" Minako screamed, still terrified. "No, he's just a pet that Professor Fuyutsuki created in the biology lab. He asked me to take care of him for some extra credit. You know that Fuyutsuki's a goddamn mad scientist." Lucas lied smoothly, morosely realizing that any chance of him having some fun tonight was dead and buried. Minako proceeded to ignore Lucas's perfectly logical statement and gathered up her clothes before fleeing from his apartment in terror, slamming the door behind her. "What was that about? One minute she's attacking you, the next she's running out the door screaming. Am I really that intimidating?" Elecmon asked innocently, not understanding the events that had occured. "I'm not talking to you." Lucas gave Elecmon a pointed glare, grumbling to himself as he went to sleep. Without his girlfriend. Present time, one week after the battle: "Lucas, someone's at the door. Judging by the attempted headbutts, I think it's Leon and Veemon." Elecmon called to the college student, who promptly got off the couch and went for the door. He had forgiven Elecmon for the incident two nights ago, upon realizing that the Digimon really had no idea what he was doing. Minako still hadn't returned any of his calls, though. "Yes, bust down the door of the guy that's graciously letting you use his apartment as a meeting place." Lucas drawled as he opened the door, letting Leon and Veemon in. When the group had come up with the idea of using Lucas's apartment, he had readily agreed, as he liked having people over.
