Log I, Part 5 Oblivion Ascent 08-10-2011 09:00 PM As the rest of the group got ready to depart, Examon looked around. And pondered. His return to the Digital World was unlikely to be a pleasant one. His former comrades would likely show him no mercy, and strike him down like a rabid dog. And yet, he felt almost nothing of it. During his time as a Royal Knight, he had been the group's black sheep. He had kept to himself, only showing up for essential meetings, and seeing his job as a duty rather than a reason d'etre or a mere pasttime. After the disappearance of UlforceVeedramon, his only true ally had been Gallantmon, who even then was completely devoted to his knigthood. He had lived a near-solitary existance, slowly falling to melancholy. And then he had been reformatted. In retrospect, it was probably the best thing that had ever happened to him. He had been alone in his resolve. He had been an outcast. He had been falling into despair. And now, due to his new comrades, he was none of these things. If his former 'friends' wished to seperate them, they had another thing coming... So, looking out at his comrades, Examon stretched his vast wings, a circle of energy surrounding them all. "DigiPortal... ACTIVATE!" Almost on instant, there was a roar of energy as a circle infested with various sigils appeared in the sky above the group. There was another noise, akin to a hum, as the group began to float towards the circle, the sigils unraveling to open a gateway. "Onwards, friends... Our destiny awaits." vincanity0011210 08-12-2011 07:48 PM (Giving us a place to land may have been interesting... and something to write about.) Right as the portal engulfed them, Veemon jumped onto Leon's back."Whoo-hoo! Digi-World, here we come!" he yelled, keeping his eyes closed until they hit ground. Leon couldn't help but watch the entire thing, amazed at the power he could feel coming from them. "Damn... this is going to be dangerous, isn't it?" Leon said, thinking about what they would be going through. Ah, death. An old friend to us now. I guess it's time to see if we can actually rescue BlackWarGReymon. I hope he's still alive. Leon though, almost feeling Veemon's mind brush with his as they passed through the gateway. The unfortunate part about being in the air in the human world was that they also appeared in the air in the Digital World. "Well, fuuuck!" Leon yelled, the ground coming up on them fast. "Veemon Digivolved into.... AreoVeedramon!" called out his digital partner as it flew down to save his partner. After getting caught in his talons, Aroaveedramon did a 180 to see if anyone else was falling. "Good catch Vee! Lets try to make sure no one else experiences sky diving without a parachute today." tobiax 08-12-2011 08:20 PM Both Jordan and Shrewmon saw the light as they approached the portal. Shrewmon was practically jumping with excitement, Jordan, however, wasn't as enthused. They crossed through the portal and into the Digital World, but somehow, everything was wrong. Examon was nowhere to be seen, and they were falling through the clouds over parts unknown. Needles to say, they were frightened. Jordan shouted as he fell, Shrewmon was afraid, but trying to controll his fall by twisting in the air. A light shot from Jordan's pocket, acompanied by a high-pitched siren like sound. A green beam of light flew from something under Jordan's shirt as Shrewmon began to glow. The digivice in Jordan's pocket vibrated and glowed, casting off a strange dark blue light. "Shrewmon, digivolve to..." called the digimon, "Nocturnomon", a louder, deep but smooth voice called. The large white bat Digimon swooped in a circle and caught Jordan with his long arms, claw-like fingers gripping his pullover. "Thanks buddy, I owe you one," Jordan thanked his companion. "That's how it works, I save you, and you give me someone to save; nature of the relationship," Nocternomon replied. Nocturnomon turned in a wide circle, spoting AreoVeedramon and Leon. "Lovely day for flying, isnt it?" he said wittily. He then turned his sharp eyes downward, his ears scanning for the sounds of paniced, falling Digimon and humans. PsychoScythe 08-12-2011 08:30 PM Lucas and Leomon stood in front of the portal, ready to enter the Digital World. "Well, this is it." Lucas grinned as he turned to his partner. "You ready?" "Ready. We go to battle." Leomon said resolutely as they began walking towards the portal. As they walked through, Lucas remembered his last conversation with Minako, the only other person he told that he was leaving. After all, it wasn't like his parents would give a damn about anything he did... Quote: "Wait, you're leaving?" Minako asked Lucas, both of them sitting in his apartment. "Yeah. Sorry, but something came up. I don't know how long I'll be gone. Probably a couple of weeks, though." Lucas said apologetically. "...This is about those Digimon, isn't it?" Minako asked quietly, knowing the answer. "Got it in one." Lucas smiled sadly, knowing that this could be the last time he could be talking to his girlfriend. "Look, Minako. In case I don't make it back, I..." "I know what you're going to say. Tell me when you get back." Minako smiled ruefully, knowing what he was going to say from her knowledge of cliche romances. "Hmph. Saved me a lot of awkwardness there. Thanks, babe." Lucas smirked, regaining some of his confidence. "Tell you what, I'll treat you to one of those fancy restaurants when I get back, okay?" "You damn well better." Minako joked back. Shaking his head, Lucas stepped into the portal, Leomon right beside him. They'd be fine. His partner, his best friend, was right alongside him. They'd make it through, save BlackWarGreymon, maul the Royal Knights, and go home. Lucas and Leomon emerged in the Digital world...falling from the goddamned sky. "SHIT! FLUFFY, YOU ASSHOLE!" Lucas screamed as they plummeted to the ground. Thinking quickly, Lucas tried to find a way to get out of this unscathed. Leomon was out of arm's reach, so he couldn't cushion him from the blow...so that left one solution. Biomerge activate. BanchoLeomon landed feet first, crouching. Damn, that had been close. Leomon would have survived the fall, no problem. But Lucas would have suffered several broken bones at the least. Standing up, BanchoLeomon looked towards the sky, intending on giving Examon a piece of his mind. Mattmanganon 08-12-2011 08:46 PM Dirk and Impmon fell, and as they did, Impmon became Devimon and they floated down to safety. he saw Jordan and Leon. "you guys ok?" he asked. he then looked around. "where are the others?" he asked. "i think that Zei went last, but i definitely know that Siggy and Lucas went first." he said tobiax 08-12-2011 09:03 PM Nocternomon swooped down, let Jordan go when his feet touched the ground, then flew off in order to catch any straggling companions. Jordan pulled up his collar, as if trying to hide himself. "I'm fine," he told Dirk, "He might not look it, but Shrewmon's always good in a pinch." Jordan looked around, they had ended up eastern shore of the same landmass he landed on before. He didn't know exactly where the Royal Knights' castle was, but at least he knew where he was starting. Plus he shouldn't run into any painful reminders here. vincanity0011210 08-12-2011 09:36 PM AreoVeedramon tossed Leon into the air, making his partner land on his head. "Everyday is a good day to not crash into the ground. " AreaVeedramon said, landing softly as Leon held onto a spike. Looking up, Leon's face paled a bit. "Really? We ALREADY lost a couple of ours? Where the hell did Lucas, Siggy and their partners go?" he partially yelled before AreoVeedramon's growl settled him down. They found a new method of keeping him from the darkness. By threatening to be devoured. "I think Zei was last, so we should probably wait for-" "DEATH ARROW" was heard from behind the group. Turning slowly, Leon watch as a large laser came from a Ghoulmon who seemed to be roaming by and wanted to cause trouble. "So much for a calm beginning" Leon said as AreoVeedramon rose into the air to dodge the beam. tobiax 08-12-2011 10:11 PM Hearing the attack of the Ghoulmon, Nocturnomon dove towards the ground. He dove, attempting to spin the Ghoulmon head over heals. He came back around, two dark purplish energy missiles forming in the air above his shoulders. "Shadow Ray Shot!" he called. The energy rocketed off, striking the Ghoulmon in the back of the head. Nocturnomon veered up, avoiding a collision and circling above, still listening for Zei and Dorumon, should they start falling. He kept his eyes locked on Ghoulmon, preparing to dodge an attack from the Mega level Digimon. Vocalia 08-13-2011 12:12 AM As Zei finally emerged from the portal, she was already sitting on DoruGreymon's back. "Next time, remind me to mash that Fluffy for making us do an air landing..." DoruGreymon growled in anger. "Now, now... At least we made it here safely..." Zei tried to pacify her fuming partner. "Although now I have to beg the question of where everyone else is..." She looked around as the large Ultimate descended from the sky. tobiax 08-13-2011 12:48 AM Nocturnomon flew up higher, knowing that if he got enough speed, his attacks would drive the Ghoulmon away. He flew up, turned, and began to decend. As he dove, he saw a red furry dragon Digimon with a familiar face and a horn (Yes, DoruGreymon). He flew sleekly and silently past, trying not to disturb their flight with his wake. A red bolt flew towards Nocturnomon, but from that distance, he easily dodged it "Shadow Ray Shot!" he called, the dark energy missiles flying from beneath the Nightmare Soldier's wing. They struck Ghoulmon, but did little. Nocturnamon continued to dive. He struck the Ghoulmon, tackeling it, and doing his best to keep it restrained with his arms, legs, wings and tail. Mattmanganon 08-13-2011 12:52 AM Dirk looked at Zei, he knew what he wanted to do but now was not the time "you want to help out?" Dirk asked Impmon. "nah, he seems to have things sorted out, i want to save myself for Omnimon." replied Impmon Vocalia 08-13-2011 01:08 AM Zei finally the group fighting against Ghoulmons. DoruGreymon growled at the provokers and opened her jaws as a large metal ball formed just above her mouth, growing to more than ten times her own size. "Metal Meteor!" With that, she launched the metal ball at point blank high speed towards the Ghoulmon. tobiax 08-13-2011 01:34 AM Nocturnomon, hearing the attack comming, quickly released the Digimon and flew away. The Metal Meteor crushed the Ghoulmon with a heavy thud. "Hey," he said indignantly "watch it with that thing, you almost made me into a bat pancake!" He then landed next to Jordan, de-Digivolving to concerve energy. "I was about to put him to sleep, but that works too, maybe a little warning would be nice. I just hope a tone of metal is enough to stop a Mega," he said. Jordan flipped his hair back and turned away from the scene. He was slightly irritated at DoruGreymon for almost crushing Nocturnomon/Shrewmon. He remained quiet, but rolled his eyes at the dragon Digimon's lack on control. He looked to the sky, there was no sign of Examon, and Lucas and Elecmon were nowhere to be found. ((OOC: Unless I misread vin's post back there, there's only one Ghoulmon, if there were more, I think Dirk and Impmon would help,)) Vocalia 08-13-2011 01:45 AM "DoruGreymon!! You could've hurt them!" Zei scolded her. She nearly had a heart attack when she released her attack near Nocturnomon and Jordan. "Their loss." DoruGreymon shrugged nonchalantly. "At least I got the job done. If not, I can always go for a second serving." She smirked. "You will only do so at my permission, DoruGreymon! You can't be so reckless every time." Zei frowned. "Yeah, yeah... Whatever floats your boat, mommy." She replied with a slight sarcastic and playful tone, referring to Zei as such due to her nature. tobiax 08-13-2011 02:11 AM Jordan turned to DoruGreymon. He raised his left arm backwards out of an old reflex. Without his actively thinking to move it, however, it only moved part of the way. He looked on his own arm in horror, and slowly relaxed his muscles, resisting the rest of the motion. He shook of the ice of traumatic memory from his heart, and gazed appologeticly at Zei and DoruGreymon, ashamed of himself. Then, he set his jaw and dealt with the matter at hand. "You owe her your respect," he said quietly, in a serious tone, "with respect and trust, you can overcome any obstacle, without it, you won't make it that far." Shrewmon shot DoruGreymon a glare, staring the Ultimate Digimon down without fear. He eventually calmed down and bounced away happily, but the lack of obedience was something he couldn't believe. Jordan muttered under his breath to Shrewmon, "You think he recognized me?" he asked. "No, he would have either aimed for you or not attacked if he did, depending on when he saw you," Shrewmon answered. "You're right," he replied, "I worry too much." vincanity0011210 08-13-2011 06:03 AM "Well, that was fun. Next time at least leave my some pieces Dorugreymon! I like a bit of fight too!" AreoVeedramon yelled over to his teammate. He always felt he missed the best parts of the fight, but as long as everyone was safe... "Wait! Where are they?! Lucas, Elecmon, Siggy, and Neonguilmon!!! Where are you!" the dino shouted. Leon quickly jumped onto his mouth and tried to close it. "Vee! What are you doing? We don't need to attract attention...." Leon said, getting a bit nervous after the yelling. They didn't need to be found this quickly, especially since they weren't all together. tobiax 08-13-2011 04:07 PM Jordan spoke up, "Alright, we better get moving. If we move inland, and head north, we'll get to a village near a mountain. If we want to find Lucas, Elecmon, Siggy, and NeonGuilmon, we might as well go where there's the biggest posibility of finding someone who's seen them. If not, we could find the Royal Knights' castle, and hope they come the same way and meet up with us," he paused a moment, then let out a sigh "Only problem is, I think this is Terminal, and I don't think their castle's here. We could try server, but if we don't find the others first, we might never find them." He felt bad being the bearer of bad news, but it had to be said. He also knew that the only chance they had of winning was for them all to work together, meaning that finding the others was a top priority. But that also meant they would need to stop at the village, and he wasn't looking forward to that. Maybe no one would recognize him, but he still felt nervous about letting a Digimon see his face who had been on this continent four years ago. He shook his head to clear out the haunting memories which threatened to come crashing down, and waited for the input of the others. He may have brought up their options, but he felt, for some reason, that the final decision would be Dirk's. Mattmanganon 08-13-2011 04:18 PM "we're here to defeat the royal knights and rescue BlackWarGreymon, we'll need the Lucas and Siggy in order to do so." said Dirk. "if you know the Digital world as well as you say you do, then lead on." said Dirk. tobiax 08-13-2011 04:46 PM "Come on, this way," he said quietly, heading inland into the trees. He walked through the trees, the group following him. Jordan then began to turn northward in a wide arc, maximizing the distance they could travle at one time. Shrewmon bounced around through the trees, he was happy to be in the Digital World again, and releived that he could still digivolve to Ultimate. He hummed and chased butterflies as he travled, not worried about getting lost; he knew where he was going. Vocalia 08-13-2011 06:32 PM DoruGreymon Dedigivolved into Dorumon for convenience's sake as the two soon followed Jordan on foot. Zei didn't have any problems with traveling in such a manner. Growing up in a rural town had made her no stranger to wilderness and the unknown. She walked beside Dirk as Dorumon looked at Shrewmon. She didn't seem to miss home as much, given that she never had many good memories of it in the first place. She was an outcast; a Digimon never meant to exist. tobiax 08-13-2011 06:54 PM As they walked through the woods, Shrewmon slowed down. With the appearence of him bounding backwards, he slowed and began hopping besides Dorumon. "Hi!" he said cheerily. He put on his best smile, trying to be friendly. Vocalia 08-13-2011 08:18 PM Dorumon seemed surprise that a Digimon would try to be friendly to her; most usually tried to beat the living digital life out of her. "Umm... Hi..." She replied, somewhat awkward and timid. She kept her steady pace, following Shrewmon beside her. Mattmanganon 08-13-2011 08:33 PM Dirk followed Jordan as he led them along, he was happy to be with Zei. he smiled at her and then looked at Jordan. "so, how did you come to be lost here in the first place?" he asked. tobiax 08-13-2011 08:40 PM Shrewmon hopped along beside Dorumon. "So, you're Duromon, right? Where do you come from? I'm from here on Terminal. I'm friends with Ryudamon, he kinda looks like you," he said. He bounced along, happily silent for a moment, thinking of his digimon friends. After a moment, he spoke again, "I think you should meet Ryudamon, he's nice, and strong too." Jordan turned to Dirk. "I was talking through the woods one day, and I found Shrewmon, or he found me. We were chased by... these flying Digimon, I don't remember what they were. We found this... glowing stone temple, the Digimon were comming from it. We got knocked in, and ended up in the Digital World," he explained Vocalia 08-13-2011 10:09 PM "I honestly don't remember where I come from... nor do I care anymore... Frankly, I'd rather not know about it at all..." Dorumon replied. This Ryudamon... It would be interesting to meet him. She smiled softly to Shrewmon. She was curious about how Shrewmon described him to her, but she didn't really believe about the physical resemblance he had with her. tobiax 08-13-2011 10:20 PM "Ok," Shrewmon replied, "Yeah, Ryudamon's a good friend, even saved my life once. He looks like you, but his fur is almost the same color as mine, and he has... um, a hat, I guess and... armor, no wait, a helmet, he has a helmet and this... red thing on his head," he explained, then turned to look at Dorumon, "Hey, you have one too, maybe he's your brother!"Shrewmon hopped in a circle around Dorumon happily, saying "Ryuda-brother" in a sing-song voice over and over. Oblivion Ascent 08-13-2011 10:24 PM ~[Elsewhere in the Digital World]~ Over the desert plains of Examon's (former?) domain, there was a roar as the sky split asunder, the titanic form of the rogue Knight descending from it, the form of BanchoLeomon in close proximity. As Examon's talons hit the sands, the portal closed back up, making a sound akin a truck reversing. __________________________________________________ _________________ Examon raised his head, taking in the sight of his domain, and the essence of the Digital World. He sighed contentedly. "God, I missed this place..." Putting his euphoria to the side, he turned to the rest of the group with a grin on his face... ... To see that, barring BanchoLeomon, they weren't there. He blinked, his mind boggled by what was going on. "... What just happened?" PsychoScythe 08-13-2011 10:34 PM "Well, let's see." BanchoLeomon began, with a disgruntled look on his face. "You could've warned us that we'd be falling from the damned sky upon entering the portal. Lucas could've died if we hadn't Biomerged." Looking up at the sky, BanchoLeomon vaguely noted that no one else was falling from it. And none of the others seemed to be around either... "Huh. Where are the others? Did the portal separate us from them?" Oblivion Ascent 08-13-2011 10:54 PM As BanchoLeomon grumbled at him, Examon just shrugged. "Never been a problem before. Besides that, as long as I'm present, your descent would have been controlled..." Anyway, putting that to the side, as BanchoLeomon brought up the notion that the portal had separated them from the others, Examon paused, as if in deep thought. "... Just a hypothetical question here, do you think they were listening when I said to make a right at the SpaceTime Depression?" __________________________________________________ _________________ Now, Examon descending had been a rather startling sight for most of the Digimon in the area, and had made them flee for fear of the huge dragon Knight. While their fear was mostly unjustified, fleeing was a sign that they were at least somewhat intelligent. What this said about the two Digimon that chose to stay is up to you. "Huhuhuh, hey Chuumon," One of the Digimon, a yellow blob of... something with a pair of spindly arms, said to his companion, pointing to BanchoLeomon "Check it out. It's a pussy." His companion, a pink cartoon mouse that looked like it had been drawn by a five year old on a bad acid trip, broke into a somewhat offbeat laugh. "Oh... Yeah. Eheheheheheh." vincanity0011210 08-14-2011 07:01 PM Swooping down behind the others, Leon jumped off AreoVeedramon whjo quickly devolved into DemiVee. DemiVee jumped onto his shoulders and remainded their during the walk. "So.... where are we going and how are we going to find them?" DemiVeemon asked the group. "Finding them should be easy" Leon said, pulling out his Digivice and pointing to the dots on the screen. Sadly, not knowing the others didn't have digivices becuse they were in Mega forms, their dots weren't on the map. ".... okay forget what I said. Apparently they don't exist inthe Digiworld right now." tobiax 08-14-2011 07:23 PM Jordan tilted his head down as he spoke, "There are a lot of things that can interfere with a Digivice," he paused for a moment, then added, "I should know," he took a breath, not wanting to delve deeper in that subject, then continued, "Anyway, we're going to a village north of here, there's a mountain to the north of it, and it's empty for miles around that. It'll be easy for us to send a signal, see them if they're there, or find a Digimon who's seen them," he concluded. He then took a step back, slowing his pace until he was at the back of the group. He noticed Shrewmon talking to Dorumon, and thought he heard him mention Ryudamon. His mind drifted back to that day, four years ago, when he was wandering dazed along the cliff-side. Ryudamon had found him, and made sure he didn't fall into the ocean. Somehow he contacted Shrewmon, and they practically carried him to a place where he could rest, and eventually find a way home. Ryudamon was surely one-in-a-million, helping him when he had every reason to leave him there. PsychoScythe 08-15-2011 05:09 PM BanchoLeomon just grumbled under his breath at Examon's so called "hypothetical". "Yes, Examon. I'm sure phasing through worlds is so simple that making a right turn could have made a difference." But first, he had to know where he was. Looking around, all BanchoLeomon saw was desert for miles, with some mountains in the distance to the east. Still, the part of him that was Leomon recognized the area, having wandered through it years ago. "Hmm...it seems like we're on Folder. If I recall correctly, the Royal Knight's castle is on a different continent, correct?" The Mega level lion Digimon asked Examon. --- Meanwhile... Nine Digimon have come together for a job. It's the middle-ish part of the century, a simpler time. There are several continents, tons of Digimon, and the Royal Knights, the assholes that police the entire Digital World in Yggdrasil's name. For any problem lacking an obvious bureaucratic solution, or if it's beneath the knights' notice, mercenaries like these are contracted to address the situation through a massive application of force. Now's your chance to Meet the Team. Rinkmon grinned, running around at insane speeds. A Meramon with its mouth sewn shut grunted something before setting a Numemon on fire. Sealsdramon twirled his knife while enjoying a cigarette. Gargomon loaded the miniguns on his arms, before nuzzling each one of them. Tankmon blew a Kuwagmon to bits with his rocket turret, and proceeded to call the dead Digimon a maggot. Hagurumon rushed around, creating new mechanical contraptions to blow shit up with. BomberNanimon grinned before he threw his patented explosives, creating a massive boom. Zamielmon cackled as he headshotted his unsuspecting target with his bow. MarineAngemon sighed in irritation as he healed his teammates, who had the annoying habit of getting shot. All. The. Time. Oblivion Ascent 08-15-2011 06:39 PM As BanchoLeomon continued to snark him, Examon sighed in elation. "The way a Royal Knight jumps dimensions, right turns make all the bloody difference. Besides, you try transporting ten people at once, you little..." Using a stubby limb to rub his temples, Examon began to calm down. There was a time and a place for arguing with a Lion Pirate Samurai/Sardonic Teenager, and this was neither. "Anyway, putting that to the side, the Castle should be on Server. I say should be, because they have a nasty habit of moving the damn thing around every couple of months." His eyes took on a reddish tint at the memory of the 'Scrappy Mechanic'. "Why did I always have to pay the bloody parking fee..." __________________________________________________ _______________ As the Lion Pirate Samurai and Dragon Emperor Royal Knight began to banter back and forth, Chuumon and the yellow blob just sat there, both laughing in a rather demented and offbeat fashion. After five minutes straight of the above, Chuumon started to talk to his companion. "Hey, hey Sukamon. Shouldn't we go check them out? Eheheheh." In response, Sukamon stopped laughing. "That idea's stupid," Sukamon said, before starting to laugh again, "Uhuhuhuhuh, Let's go check them out." In response, Chuumon furrowed his brow. "Errmmmmm... Ok. Eheheheheh." Once the pink mouse Digimon had showed agreement to his own plan, the pair bounded down the sandy dune that lead to where Examon and BanchoLeomon were bantering. Vocalia 08-16-2011 12:03 AM Dorumon sighed and a desire to slap Shrewmon budded inside her. She had no family; it was a foolish concept to her. She was born alone and had lived alone. That fact had changed now since she now had Zei and the others, but she believed that she couldn't possibly have a family. "Yeah, right... And then I get to meet my mommy and daddy of Monzaemons..." She replied sarcastically to Shrewmon. "Shrewmon dear, I have no family and I don't think I ever will until a Numemon flies..." She chuckled. Zei, on the other hand, was focused on listening to Jordan and Dirk, leaving her Digimon to chat with the two others. Mattmanganon 08-16-2011 12:27 AM Dirk looked at Zei. "are you ok?" he asked. "you seem down. is there anything i can..." he didn't want to finish that sentance. "ask her if you can go behind the bushes." laughed Impmon and was clonked on the head by Dirk Vocalia 08-16-2011 12:39 AM Zei giggled. "I'm alright, Dirk. Don't worry about me." She smiled and gently patted his back. "I'm just a little bit overwhelmed by everything..." She sighed. "I still can't believe that my Digimon was a part of the Royal Knights..." She looked at Dorumon as she walked, the latter who was now busy biting onto Impmon's tail for his lewd comment to Dirk in front of Zei. "And now we're in Digital World... Things are certainly moving very fast..." She looked at Dirk. Mattmanganon 08-16-2011 12:50 AM "i bet Pineapple head would like to move fast." laughed Impmon. Dirk grabbed him and started to grind his knuckles into the Digimons temples "I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU IF YOU KEEP THAT UP!!!" "that's what she said." laughed impmon now in an uncontrolable laughing fit. Dirk couldn't help but start laughing at that one. he dropped Impmon in his laughing fit. tobiax 08-16-2011 03:00 AM Jordan piped up, but still kept his voice low, "Remember what I said about trust? That goes the same for respect, and double for you two," he reprimanded them in a quiet, gravely tone. Shrewmon made a motion like a sideways dodge. "I was just sayin'. You don't have to be so mean," Shrewmon replied. He was slightly upset that she was being so off putting and almost vicious when he was trying to be friendly. He quieted down, and his ears and tail lowered, he stopped hopping as well. Vocalia 08-16-2011 04:45 AM Dorumon rolled her eyes. "Sorry..." She murmured and licked him. "I'm just not fond of the idea of having a family." She frowned sadly. "Damn... I just can't do anything right...!" She hissed to herself and distanced herself away from Impmon and Shrewmon. Zei noticed this and frowned asdly, but she figured that Dorumon wanted to be left alone instead of being pestered needlessly. tobiax 08-16-2011 07:26 PM Shrewmon shook his head, puzzled at her response. "I was just saying that Digimon with similar appearances usually have similar data patterns," he said to himself. Shrewmon then turned around and bounced over to Jordan. PsychoScythe 08-16-2011 08:35 PM "In that case, we should probably head west, to the coast. If I recall correctly, there's a town there, and there should be a Whamon that'll take us to Server." BanchoLeomon said to Examon, deciding to stop snarking for the moment until they figured out a plan of action. However, the snickering of the approaching Chuumon and Sukamon caught his attention. "Yes? You want something?" BanchoLeomon asked bluntly, getting slightly annoyed by their constant snickering. Oblivion Ascent 08-16-2011 09:00 PM Examon nodded. "That works. The coast isn't too far from this area, so-" It was then that he heard the snickering. Turning around, he saw the source of the snickering, the Sukamon and Chuumon. He stared at the two of them for a few seconds, his brain processing what he was seeing. And then he let out a small growl, his eyes narrowing, and their yellow hue intensifying. "You... You're those damn kids that were whacking off in my tool shed!" In response to the Dragon Emperor's growling, the Sukamon and Chuumon just stared at him, their expressions unchanged. Finally, the Chuumon spoke up. "Oh yeah... Eheheheheh. I remember that." Once he had finished speaking, the Sukamon's snickering piped up. "So do I. Uhuhuhuhuh. That was cool." Examon scowled, muttering something obscene underneath his breath as he turned to look at BanchoLeomon. "Ignore them. These two have been in this secotr for a few years now, and they've done nothing but be a pain in the ass for everyone else..." A thought crossing his mind, he pulled himself away from his irritation, and looked to the sky. The Sun, or equivalent thereof, was starting to go down. The desert went from being unbearably hot to unbearably cold at night, not to mention what kind of Nocturnal Digimon lived here... "Anyway, we'd best get a move on... The TitanTogemon aren't as rare here as they are elsewhere..." PsychoScythe 08-16-2011 09:26 PM It took a few moments for BanchoLeomon to process Examon's words, but when he finally did, the part of him that was Lucas couldn't resist snarking. "...Wait a moment. You two fapped. Together. In a tool shed. That's kinda gay." BanchoLeomon snickered, before another detail in Examon's words caught his attention. "Hold on. Examon, why would you even have a damn tool shed in the first place? That seems...kind of irrelevant for a Royal Knight." Oblivion Ascent 08-16-2011 09:37 PM As BanchoLeomon questioned his motives for having a toolshed, Examon shrugged. "It came with the haunt. I used to keep what I used to repair my armor in there... Before those two got in there at least." In regards to Sukamon and Chuumon, when the Lion Pirate Samurai snarked at them, their behaviour changed a little. "Uhuhuhuh. Shut up, Asswipe." "Are you THREATENING ME?!?" PsychoScythe 08-17-2011 03:12 AM As Sukamon and Chuumon began to get pissed off at BanchoLeomon's snark, the lion Digimon just buried his face in his left palm and groaned at their stupidity. "Are you two suicidal? I'm a Mega level. You're a Rookie and a Champion. You've got no chance at beating me, and if you actually come at me, you deserve death." Huffing, BanchoLeomon turned away from them, and began walking westward, toward the coast. "Come on," He called out towards Examon. "The coast should only be a few hours away, and far less if I decide to run. Wanna race?" The Mega level lion smirked, challenging the Royal Knight. Oblivion Ascent 08-17-2011 03:19 PM As BanchoLeomon shot them down, the Sukamon and Chuumon's behaviours reverted to normal. "Oh... yeah. Eheheheheh. I knew that." Rolling his eyes at the idiotic pair, Examon turned to follow BanchoLeomon, the ground shaking slightly with each step. "That sounds about right. As for the race, I'd rather not right now, since this form is, how do you say... slower than a lethargic snail carrying some very heavy shopping up a hill?" PsychoScythe 08-18-2011 02:56 AM "...What." BanchoLeomon shot Examon a questioning look, and then decided to just drop the subject, muttering under his breath in English, showing that the half-Japanese teen was in control now. "Freaking British..." A few hours later, BanchoLeomon and Examon had finally reached the small coastal town on the western edge of Folder. Unfortunately, Beavis and Butthead Sukamon and Chuumon were still following the two Mega-levels, and were being quite annoying. The lion Digimon restrained himself from simply killing the Rookie and Champion several times, and his patience with them was getting very, very low. Meanwhile, inside town, Zamielmon blinked when he saw the newcomers from his camping perch. Huh. That Leomon variant looked like the one that the team had been hired to kill. Alright, that wanker didn't look so tough. "Hey, mates!" The Champion level archer shouted down towards the rest of his team. "I see the target! He's got a friend, though!" "Then we blow that maggot up, too!" Tankmon shouted back, before he screamed to the rest of his team. "TARGET IN SIGHT! TAKE YOUR POSITIONS, MEN, ON THE DOUBLE!" As BanchoLeomon and Examon entered the town, nine mercenaries took their positions and prepared to go to battle... Oblivion Ascent 08-18-2011 03:47 PM As the town came into view, Examon sighed in relief. It had been a long trip, but they had managed to reach the town without running into any of the area's infamous Nocturnal Digimon, and without having to brutally murder their tagalongs, who were constantly asking 'where all the chicks were'. The latter was a miracle in itself. Anyway, looking up at the town, he had a sudden feeling of apprehension. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he had a feeling that something was waiting for them... "Be on your guard..." Although he spoke to BanchoLeomon, it was Sukamon that replied first. "Uhuhuhuh. You said HARD." __________________________________________________ _______________ {Elsewhere} __________________________________________________ _______________ Ari was having the best day ever! To begin, her parents had finally gotten back from work, and since Siggy was 'out of town' and her idiot brother James was at Summer Camp, she had them all to herself for a while. Then there had been an awesome Gurren Lagann Marathon on TV this morning, and to top it all off, mamma and daddy had taken her to her favorite park for a while. In Ari's own words, today was 'super-special-awesome'! __________________________________________________ _______________ Meanwhile, over the other side of the city, MagnaAngemon was not having the best day ever. Far from it, in fact. Up until a few hours ago, he had been upholding his duty as a defender of the Digital World, and had been locked in combat with SkullSatamon, a reknowned murderer. To begin with, the bastard wouldn't stay still long enough for the Angel Digimon to get a hit in. From there, another random portal to the Human World had sprung up in the midst of their battle, and SkullSatamon had jumped through it, no doubt relishing the chance to find out what noise a human made when you bludgeoned it to death with a metal cane. On top of that, MagnaAngemon, fearing for the lives of the world's inhabitants, had followed the scumbag without thinking it through first, and was now stuck in the Human World until another portal opened up, which, knowing his luck, would be a while. The final insult added to his injury? He couldn't find the bastard! On his vantage point, high above the ground atop the tallest building in the city, he sighed, his spirits low. "I need a freaking drink..." PsychoScythe 08-18-2011 05:57 PM BanchoLeomon just grumbled and slapped Sukamon upside the head. "Quiet. I hear something coming." That something was Rinkmon, running at 98% of the speed of light. As such, he was just barely visible before he began attacking BanchoLeomon, hitting him several times in under a second. "BONK!" Rinkmon screamed gleefully as he continued pummeling the Mega level. However, Rinkmon's speed came at a price. His strikes had the power of a Rookie, and as such, didn't do jack shit to BanchoLeomon. "You done yet?" The Mega level lion Digimon grumbled through Rinkmon's strikes, before he suddenly reached out and grabbed the Armor Digimon with one hand, stopping him from attacking. "Aw crap. This is gonna hurt..." Rinkmon muttered, with a familiar Bronx accent, before BanchoLeomon slammed him facefirst into the dirt, and started pummeling him. "MY DATA! HE'S PUNCHING OUT ALL MY DATA!" Rinkmon screamed in pain, as BanchoLeomon punched him repeatedly. "DOC! MEDIC!" "Step away from the Scout, maggots!" Tankmon screamed as he charged at BanchoLeomon. Somehow, the tank Digimon leaped into the air before he fired a rocket at the ground, the explosion propelling the Champion level at great speeds towards BanchoLeomon and Examon. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me." BanchoLeomon gaped at the sight, and resisted the urge to facepalm. Whatever. Nothing a Champion level could dish out would hurt a Mega. This asshole had the balls to rocket jump, he might as well give him a free shot as a reward for being so stupidly awesome. "Hyper Cannon!" Tankmon yelled, firing his main gun at the two Mega levels. BanchoLeomon emerged unharmed, but Sukamon and Chuumon were blown away by the explosion. They collapsed in a heap, groaning. Oblivion Ascent 08-18-2011 06:33 PM As the smoke of the explosion cleared, it emerged that Examon hadn't even been fazed by the attack, with not so much as a scratch, dent or smudge. In addition, as the smoke cleared, an expression that clearly said 'what the flying f_ck(!?)' could be clearly seen etched over his face, his eyes green. Again, Siggy had assumed direct control. And he was visibly less than happy. "You... Have got to be shitting me." Looking over towards tankmon with his brow violently twitching, he was about to continue speaking, when he felt a sudden sensation from his rear end. A burning sensation. Turning around, he saw a Meramon with it's hands splayed, trying to set fire to his ass. "Mmmmphhmumpth," It 'said', ignoring the fact that Examon had caught on to it's attempted Arson. His brow continuing to twitch violently, he stared at the Meramon, baring his teeth as he got ready to snap... Only to pause, and take a deep breath, before looking back at Meramon again, this time with a neutral, bored expression. "Yeah... I think I'm just going to ignore this one entirely..." Sighing, he turned to look at Tankmon again. "What the hell do you want?" Draconis Nevyn 08-18-2011 07:23 PM Elle showed no emotion as the data of the rookie digimon was absorbed by Wizardmon, she didn't care - or didn't seem to- if the digimon had had feelings, hell it hadn't even been doing anything threatening, it was just innocently eating from a burger stand when Elle pointed to it and Wizardmon cast a lightning bolt down on it. Elle closed her eyes for a second but opened them again quickly, she was remembering the beach, that had been a night time, bar the Divermon appearance. Elle sighed, the first sound she'd made all day, Wizardmon, who considered this an improvement said, "So.. fancy dinner? Killing all of these digimon really works up an appetite.." Elle knew he was joking but she couldn't laugh, to her it wasn't funny. She sighed again. It took her a while to hear the rapid beeping noise coming from her Digivice but once she did she checked it and recieved the information on the Ultimate-level Digimon, MagnaAngemon, "Not too far away, think you can fly us to him, Wizardmon?" Wizardmon, who was gaping at the longest sentence she'd spoken to him, indeed anyone, in quite a while just nodded as he picked her up and lifted himself off of the ground, shooting off to the place where the Angel Digimon was said to be. As they got closer they could easily see him sitting there, seeming down - no Digimon had no feelings, they just fought and fought - Elle reminded herself, and eventually Herself and Wizardmon lowered onto the building where MagnaAngemon was sat - but at a respectful distance, he was Ultimate afterall - and they waited for his retaliation. Elle showing little emotion, Wizardmon showing curiosity, in his strange way. Which was to stare for ages at whatever it was he was curious about. Oblivion Ascent 08-18-2011 07:45 PM As MagnaAngemon looked out over the cityscape, he felt his contemplations be interrupted by the appearance of others. Slowly climbing to his feet, he raised himself from his perch, turning to address or confront those who would approach him, a human girl with copper hair tied back in a ponytail and a Wizardmon. It wasn't too hard to discern what they were. Sensing no real hostile intent from the Wizardmon, and unreadable intent from the human girl, his armor began to glow, transforming into robes as he entered his 'Priest Mode', a sign of non-hostility to those who were familiar with the ways of Angel Digimon. "May I help you?" His voice was calm and stable, completely obscuring the fact that he was in the midst of great stress. Mattmanganon 08-18-2011 07:47 PM Guardromon finished his sweeping of the back porch. he then wiped his brow. "mistress Kate, i have finished the sweeping duties." he said. "thank you, i was just going to get some fresh Vegetables from Market." she said. "then i will accompany you." said Guardromon. "oh, you don't have to." she said. "i insist, you have done so much for me." he said. **** the 2 had wandered into town, everyone seemed to be afraid of Guardromon, Kate found that she got several discounts that she had no idea she was due on. as they walked home, Guardromon got a funny feeling, he shoved Kate out of the way just in time for a shadow ball to hit the ground where she had been standing. "DAMMIT!!!" yelled SkullSatomon. "you ruined my fun." he said pointing his staff at Guardromon. he fired several more blasts at Guardromon who flew into the air to avoid them. "you are an insolent cur and deserve nothing more than to be destroyed." said Guardromon. he then fired his wrist rockets at SkullSatomon. the rockets hit. but when the smoke cleared SkullSatomon stood completely unimpressed by Guardromons display of power. "oh my." exclaimed Guardromon. SkullSatomon grabbed Guardromon and smashed his head into the ground, then threw him into the air and smashed him back down to earth again with his staff. he then laughed. "FOOL!!! do you honestly think you can beat me?" asked SkullSatomon. Kate ran over to Guardromon. "come on, we need to get out of here." she said. "no, you do, i must defend these people." replied Guardromon. he got to his feet. "i will fight you, and you will be defeated!!!" yelled Guardromon as he began to glow, Kate suddenly felt something warm in her hand and saw a Digivice appear. she looked at it. "GUARDROMON DIGIVOLVE TO... ANDROMON!!!" Andromon got up. "you will not harm anyone ever again. LIGHTNING BLADE!!!" Andromon sent a Lightning blade at SkullSatomon and sent him flying. "WON'T WORK!!!" replied SkullSatomon. he sent several Blasts at Andromon who sent them into the sky. the blasts exploded like fireworks. anyone who knew about Digimon would know they were fighting there. Draconis Nevyn 08-18-2011 07:55 PM As the Angel changed form - a sign that had previously meant potential harm in her mind - Elle took a fighting stance, but Wizardmon had relaxed and just began staring more. Elle felt confused. "You may. Why have you come to the Human world?" Was all Elle could say, the kindness of the Angel Digimon seeping into her a little, breaking down her well trained mask, showing her anguish and open hostility to unpartnered digimon. - for those she'd encountered were almost all hostile to her - "Elle, it's not our place to question him, besides, if you start threatening him, I'll die and I don't know if you know this, but DYING HURTS!" Wizardmon said to her, his tendency for speaking completely redundantly masking his inner wisdom. Oblivion Ascent 08-18-2011 08:29 PM Seeing that his feeling was correct, and that the pair was non-hostile, MagnaAngemon smiled, relieved that he could communicate civilly for once. As the Wizardmon began to chew his partner out a little, MagnaAngemon shook his head. "My reason for being here isn't something that I have to keep concealed." Taking a deep breath, as not to let his own facade slip, he continued. "Up until a few hours ago, I was fighting a Digimon Murderer by the name of SkullSatamon. I say 'up until a few hours ago', because it was at that time that he slipped through a portal that had been left open, and jumped to this world. I've now got to find him before he adds some humans to his hitlist..." It was at this point that the sound of fireworks boomed in from some distance away. Tensing, MagnaAngemon turned around, to see the source of the noise. Several globs of shadow energy bursting into streaks of red energy, just a few hundred meters away. "On that note, I believe we have our man," He said, a mix of new emotions tinging his otherwise calm voice as his robes lit up with a glow, shifting back to his armor as he prepared to go confront his foe. __________________________________________________ _______________ Elsewhere, Ari looked up at the sky as she heard the sound of fireworks. Just about 100/150 meters away from the park she was in, exploding globs of shadow filled the sky. Those weren't fireworks. Her curiosity getting the better of her, she climbed down from the jungle gym, and began to make her way towards the scene of the commotion... Draconis Nevyn 08-18-2011 08:52 PM "Oh boy, just what I wanted from my day - death." Wizardmon spoke sarcasticlly, as he picked Elle up again and flew off while shouting "Electro squall!" Which caused lightning clouds to appear, creating several - to the Digimon there, atleast - suspiciously accurate lightning strikes aimed at SkullSatamon. Wizardmon had no idea if they had done any damage, he knew that Elle would just tell him to destroy the digimon anyway. Elle smiled as she saw Wizardmon attack another evil digimon, most of them were evil. Perhaps MagnaAngemon had been tamed already? Who knew? well maybe MagnaAngemon himself did, but even she thought that it'd be a little cruel to ask incase it offended him, she didn't like the idea of Wizardmon dying and her then falling to her death at the moment. Perhaps later, after they would be out of a battle. Elle checked her Digivice as they flew and she gained a little information on the battle; 1. The two digimon there were; SkullSatamon and Andromon. 2. There was a Tamer there, either the Tamer of SkullSatamon or Andromon, hopefully the latter 3. SkullSatamon was currently seeming to be winning. 4. Both Andromon and SkullSatamon were Ultimate. Here Wizardmon spoke, showing his wisdom and seeming to know what Elle was thinking, "It seems i'm a little outclassed, Elle. That's three Ultimates, with one on our side so far." Elle merely nodded, if it was needed she could try and digivolve him to Ultimate, though she hated that this had happened before he'd been able to regain his energy. She was impressed that he was able to hold his Champion form at all. PsychoScythe 08-18-2011 09:05 PM "We, as professional soldiers, have been hired to kill this Leomon!" Tankmon snarled at Examon, looking irritated that his attack did no damage. "Some idiot in pink armor has hired us mercenaries to eliminate this Digimon! And on that note, HYPER CANNON!" Tankmon tried his attack again, to no avail. The only thing his rocket accomplished was to annoy BanchoLeomon. "Pink armor? You mean Crusadermon?" BanchoLeomon inquired, a scowl on his face. "You've got to be joking. Homo can't take me on, so he hires a bunch of Champions to do his dirty work? This is fucking ridiculous..." --- Rinkmon, seeing that BanchoLeomon was no longer intent on punching his data out, weakly crawled away, towards MarineAngemon. "Medic..." He groaned weakly, before the diminutive Mega level came rushing over, tutting as he did so, and began speaking in a German accent. "Already, Herr Scout? How were you beaten zat easily, dummkopf?" He chided Rinkmon, while healing him in a bubble. "Ugh...yo, that bastard didn't even flinch at my attacks! It's like he's a Mega or something..." --- Zamielmon, seeing that BanchoLeomon was distracted by Tankmon, took the opportunity to aim for a headshot from his camping spot. "I'm gonna turn ya into colored rain!" He snarled, before he let loose his arrow at BanchoLeomon's head. The lion Digimon heard the arrow coming with his enhanced hearing and snatched the projectile out of the air with his hand, before he saw where it came from. "Wonderful, a camping asshole." He muttered under his breath before he drew his sword. Slashing at the sniper perch's direction, he launched a shockwave from his sword. "Lion King Slash!" Zamielmon's eyes widened as he saw the shockwave coming at high speed. "Oh, crikey..." He uttered, right before the shockwave tore through the tower, sending Zamielmon crashing to the ground. "Piece of piss..." He grunted in pain. His back hurt like hell from the impact. "Medic..." The sniper groaned, as he awaited MarineAngemon to come to him. Oblivion Ascent 08-18-2011 09:06 PM Flying towards the location of his foe, MagnaAngemon smirked as Wizardmon summoned the thunderclouds. Those, coupled with the Andromon engaging SkullSatamon, would allow him a chance to get a lethal blow in on the Demon Man Digimon, without worrying about getting hold of him. Stopping just out of sight of SkullSatamon, he raised his arm, producing Excalibur from the armor on his arm in order to activate his most powerful attack. 'Drawing' a circle with the ethereal blade, there was an alien noise as the circle filled with sigil-esque lines, runes, and a hatch in the middle. Observing his foe and his movements, he began to get a lock-on to him... "Gate of Destiny." And as the lock-on completed, the hatch slid open, a burst of pure white and gold energy darting out and jetting towards SkullSatamon at ludicrous speed. The Chance of a direct hit was 90%. The Chance of an Instant Kill was 70%. __________________________________________________ _______________ {Elsewhere} __________________________________________________ _______________ As Tankmon mentioned an 'idiot in pink armor', Examon sighed, facepalming. "Well, Ulforce, he stooped that low. I guess I owe you a coke..." After his little lamentation of Crusadermon's lack of standards, he looked back up at Tankmon, who appeared to be the ringleader. "I guess that If you don't know who hired you, you are also unaware of who I am?" vincanity0011210 08-19-2011 03:46 AM DemiVeemon jumped off of Leon's head and landed ontop of Dorumon's head. "Hey! just cause youre the leader of the royal knights doesn't mean you gotta be so mean! Otherwise you may as well be an OMNIMON!" He shouted before jumping off and landing next to Shrewmon. Being at his in-training level, the digimon had to run slightly to keep up with the Rookie but managed to very well. Leon was completely ignoring the digimon fight. Instead he was wondering about the village and his other friends. As usual, he was worried about his companions and allies before the current predicament. "Something tells me Siggy and Lucas are doing something crazy... and probably dangerous. What's this village we're heading to anyways?" he asked as they got near to the entrance. Vocalia 08-19-2011 09:22 AM Dorumon growled at Demiveemon. Being compared to Alphamon irked her when she barely remembered anything at all. "DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE ME TO HER!!" She roared. "Whoever Alphamon is, she's not me! I don't even remember a goddamn fucking thing!" She panted, trying to calm herself in vain. "And I don't want to hear any mention of that asshole Omnimon again...!" With an angry growl, she sped up and left the Digimon group to walk with Zei alone. "Damn Alphamon... Damn the Royal Knights.. Damn everything...!" She hissed. Despite her angry words, her tone was close to a whimper. Dorumon had a shady past, one that she only remember in pieces and even her life was, to be precise, a big Crapsaccharine World. Zei frowned sadly and gently patted the Digimon's back, her mouth sewn silent. Glancing at her human partner, Dorumon gave her leg a little nudge to show that she was grateful for her not pestering the upset Rookie. She avoided the other Digimons completely and stayed close to Zei. Oblivion Ascent 08-20-2011 12:47 AM As Wizardmon launched a volley of lightning bolts at it, there were several flashes of darkness as the SkullSatamon effortlessly outmaneuvered them, a sadistic grin adorning it's face all the while. "Hah! A pitiful Champion thinks it can take on an Ultimate? Oh, how delicious..." Relishing the pain it was about to deliver unto the kindly Magus Digimon, SkullSatamon licked it's lips with a shrill giggle. Standing stock still, it pointed it's cane towards Wizardmon, getting ready to end his life in one fell sw- *WHUMPH* __________________________________________________ _______________ Approximately 50 meters, MagnaAngemon smiled as the Gate of Destiny's outburst hammered into SkullSatamon with titanic force, sending him flying backwards at immense speed due to the force of impact. He may have been a distance from where the outburst had impacted SkullSatamon, but he could very clearly hear a crunch as it's backwards flight caused it to smash into a wall, eliciting another smile from the otherwise stoic Angel Digimon. Making his way over towards the girl and the Wizardmon, he spoke once more. "I would like to thank you for distracting SkullSatamon. The main factor of the stalemate in our previous fight had been due to his agility, and your distraction allowed me to bypass that." He looked over towards the Demon Man Digimon. From what he could see, it had survived the attack, but had been rendered unable to move. In addition, it had been made weak enough to finish off in a few blows. "As you are guardians of this world, I surrender the honor of finishing SkullSatamon off to you. Do you accept?" __________________________________________________ _______________ Ari closed her eyes and tensed up as the Digimon smashed into the wall with that horrible crunching noise. Up until then, the fight between the Digimon had been 'fun', if such a word could be applied to a scenario in which a Wizard Scarecrow and a Cyborg attempt to beat up the Devil's undernourished younger brother, but that had been put to pasture once the energy ball had near-eviscerated SkullSatamon, brutally lodging him into the wall. Opening one eye cautiously, she noticed that SkullSatamon had his head twisted at an impossible angle, even for a Digimon, and that his eyes were flickering between blank black and harsh, luminous red. Her curiosity getting the better of her, she slowly made her way over towards the seemingly unconscious Demon Man, getting just out of arm's reach. After a few second of observation, the flickering of the eyes paused, before stopping completely as the Digimon passed o- And then the eyes lit right back up with an intense glow, and SkullSatamon tore himself from the wall, grabbing hold of Ari with his skeletal claw. Mattmanganon 08-20-2011 01:10 AM ((for this post i think that Andromon should be Robocop.)) Andromon looked at SkullSatamon. "put the child down or there will be trouble..." said Andromon. his advanced targeting system already locking onto a spot on SkullSatamons body that when hit, would force him to drop Ari without her being hurt. "dead or alive, you are coming with me, back to the Digital world." said Andromon. "try it." said SkullSatamon. "any of you try and do anything, they girl gets it." he put his staff closer to her, ready to attack should the need arise. Draconis Nevyn 08-20-2011 01:34 AM Wizardmon looked curioiusly at the girl and then to his tamer who he had put down on the ground beside the tamer and the Andromon, they seemed to be on the same side. "Wizardmon you'll need to digivolve, I know you're weak but can you do it to destroy this being?" "You only have to ask, Elle." Was Wizardmon's reply and then, Elle's digivice lit up, the glow showing her malice towards the demon for holding a girl captive. "Wizardmon DarkDigivolve to... Phantomon!" Elle was taken aback, this Digimon was different from the previous form Wizardmon had held. How could that be? was it because she was so angry that he'd become a different Digimon? "Give up the girl, SkullSatamon pr your soul is mine!" shouted the Ultimate level digimon, who unfortunately had the power to sever a soul from another's body and to kill with words. In this form Phantomon and Elle were focussed more on the death of the SkullSatamon than the overall outcome of Ari, who Elle thought she recognised but wasn't sure, yet who Phantomon recognised, and it was this that made him warn the other Digimon. PsychoScythe 08-20-2011 03:52 AM "Not a clue." Tankmon admitted, disgruntled at the fact that his men weren't even fazing BanchoLeomon. Speaking of whom, the lion Digimon was about to make another witty comment, this time about Tankmon's lack of knowledge, when he felt something sharp stab into his back. Actually, it didn't hurt that much. The stab felt like nothing more than a small cut to him. Looking behind him, BanchoLeomon saw that a Sealsdramon had backstabbed him. "Good job. You actually damaged me." The Mega level conceded before he snatched Sealsdramon up and hurled him at Tankmon, sending both of them crashing through several buildings. "Medic!" Both Champion levels cried out, only to be met by an anguished scream from MarineAngemon. "AUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHHH!!!!" The German-accented Digimon cried out, overworked and enraged from the amount of healing requests he was receiving. "STOP GETTING HURT, DAMMIT! STOP GETTING HURT!" It was at this moment that a Gargomon and a BomberNanimon popped out from a side alley in an ambush, having been transported to the flanking position by one of Hagurumon's handy teleporters. "Hagurumon is credit to team! Now, little baby mon dies!" The Gargomon cried out in a Russian accent, spinning up his arm cannons and firing. BanchoLeomon vaguely noted that this Gargomon was far larger than most of its kind, being seven feet tall rather than the usual six feet most Gargomon were. "FREEEDOOOMM!!!" Screamed BomberNanimon in a Scottish accent, unknowingly quoting Mel Gibson. The Champion level hurled several bombs at BanchoLeomon, in cooperation with Gargomon's fire. Of course, being Champions, their attacks did absolutely nothing to the Mega level, who just began to look more and more irritated. --- Meanwhile, Meramon was still trying to set Examon's ass on fire, and was growing increasing frustrated as he failed to do so. "Mmmmmmmrrrrrrrpppghhh!" He mumbled, voicing his displeasure. Oblivion Ascent 08-20-2011 12:30 PM As Tankmon admitted that he lacked knowledge of his employer's and Examon's identities, Examon smirked a little, before speaking. "From analysis of your account, I can tell that you were hired by Crusadermon, the Third Royal Knight, a sadistic asshole. As for who I am, I am Examon, the former Fifth Royal Knight and former overseer of this area." As soon as he finished his explanation, the burning sensation coming from his rear end became irritatingly noticeable. "Will you cut that out? It's extremely irritating," He said tersely, twisting his body to address the offending Meramon. __________________________________________________ _______________ {Elsewhere} __________________________________________________ _______________ As SkullSatamon grabbed hold of her, Ari's eyes widened with fear, and she was about to yell out, when the Demon Man Digimon's hand covered her mouth, muffling her speech and effectively muting her. She struggled against the Digimon's grip for a few seconds, before it tightened it's hold, rendering her helpless. So, as SkullSatamon used her as a human shield against it's attackers, all she could do was hold still and hope that someone would find a way... She closed her eyes, and waited. __________________________________________________ _______________ As his foe grabbed hold of a helpless human girl and used her as a barrier between itself and it's attackers, MagnaAngemon's smirk gave way to a look of horror. Which then gave way to a look of pure contempt and anger. "You worthless BASTARD!!!" As MagnaAngemon yelled damnation out at SkullSatamon, the facade of tranquility slipped, and the battle rage beneath began to surface. "You've claimed enough lives as it is. Bring children into this, and I swear even the vilest pits of hell will have no place for you once I'm done..." __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________ As Ari heard MagnaAngemon condemn her captor, she momentarily untensed. Her eyes being closed, she couldn't see the Angel Digimon, but the power in his voice was enough. The voice reminded her of NeonGuilmon and her brother, and that alone was enough to reassure her... And as she regained hope, a powerful light appeared above her, bursting forth with a powerful radiance, shining directly into SkullSatamon's face. The Light of a Digivice. Mattmanganon 08-20-2011 10:53 PM Andromon saw the Digivice appear and quickly calculated the appropriate course of action he fired a pair of his heat seeker missiles that traveled straight past SkullSatamon. "HOLY SHIT, SHE'S A DIGIDESTINED!!! that means one of these guys is about to get a hell of a lot stronger... say goodbye to the girl." he said. Andromon started to charge forward, just as SkullSatamon was about the fire a blast at Ari, he was hit in the back by the seeker missiles and dropped her. Andromon caught her and jumped backwards. "LIGHTNIGN BLADE!" he fired the sparkling wave attack at SkullSatamon and he jumped back "SHIT!!!" yelled SkullSatamon. he looked at his situation. it was not looking good. Oblivion Ascent 08-20-2011 11:25 PM As SkullSatamon unwittingly dropped Ari into the arms of Andromon, there was a flash of movement as MagnaAngemon moved towards him at a new, insane speed, reappearing behind him. "Come, comrades. Let us end this scum's miserable existance with the full brunt of our might," He yelled out, grabbing SkullSatamon in a full nelson. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he felt stronger than he had done a few moments ago, as if his existance had been pushed further towards perfection. If not for his 'battle-rage', he would have picked up on why. __________________________________________________ _________________ Meanwhile, as she was dropped by her (former) captor, Ari squeaked with fright. Although she was now free, and relatively safe from being blown to smithereens, being dropped now meant that she was heading straight for a rather unpleasant demise... So, it was no small relief that Andromon caught her. As the Cyborg Digimon pulled back from the battle with the little girl, she let loose and latched onto his chest area in a tight 'hug', shaking like a leaf in the wind. At the same time, the Digivice and it's radiant light followed her, suspended in midair. Draconis Nevyn 08-20-2011 11:40 PM As soon as MagnaAngemon moved, - and Andromon and Ari were out of the way - Elle and Phantomon synchronised and felt their hatred flare, "Wipe him from existence, Phantomon." Elle spoke quietly to her partner, "I think I warned him.." replied Phantomon before proclaiming his attack; "Shadow Scythe!" He flew up to the struggling Digimon and raised his scythe purposefully, the chain dangling hypnotisingly, it would have been beautiful if it wasn't so terrible. After a moment, Phantomon swept his scythe through the body of the Demon Digimon, apon which moment, it disipated into it's data and then nothingness. There was nothing to absorb, nothing left of it. "The deed is done." Phantomon stated as he pulled SkullSatamon's Digicore from his scythe and crushed it in his hand. Or robe as it seemed. Then, there was a flash of orange light as Phantomon ran out of energy and De-Digivolved to DemiMeramon, who floated up to Elle. Elle regarded him carefully, she'd pushed him too far. "I'm sorry, DemiMeramon." she said to him, the only thing she'd apoligise to in that world. Everything else meant nothing to her, she fought because she believed that all other Digimon were evil. What did she care if others thought she fought to save her world? PsychoScythe 08-21-2011 12:21 AM Tankmon groaned as he got back up, tossing the prone form of Sealsdramon off of himself. "A Royal Knight? But that means...you're a Mega." The Champion level said in awe, but his amazement slowly turned into rage as he realized his predicament. "THAT SON OF A BITCH! GODDAMN MAGGOT CONNED US INTO A SUICIDE JOB!" Tankmon screamed, snarling in fury. "Men, stand down! Sad to say, but that pink bastard tricked us into a suicide mission!" This statement was met by fury from the assorted members of Tankmon's team as they halted their attack on BanchoLeomon and expressed their displeasure at being taken for suckers. "Yo, what the fuck?" "Zat DUMMKOPF!" "WANKER!" "Oh...merde." "They're gonna have tah glue Crusadermon back together...IN HELL!" "Is coward-killing time!" "Oh, that just ain't right!" "Mmmrgh!" Tankmon joined in the rage, leading his team to their transport, a MegaSeadramon. "We will strangle that bastard with his own frilly training bra!" BanchoLeomon just sighed and turned to Examon. "...You know what? Let's just get to Whamon. I'm sick of dealing with this shit." tobiax 08-21-2011 03:15 AM Shrewmon waggled his head in thought at DemiVeemon's question. "We still have a while to go, like a day and a half," he said. As Dorumon began her rant, of which he understood no part of the situation, Shrewmon lept behind Jordan, startled and frightened by the language. Jordan tuned it out. He fought to keep from clenching his fist and raising his arm again. He had had that problem once in a while, ever since he returned home four years ago, but being in the Digital World again, he had to fight the dreaded reflex more often now. Mattmanganon 08-23-2011 04:41 PM the Demon Digimon re-appeared. "YA MISSED!!!" it laughed. "that is why there was no Data left." said Andromon. "well then i'll be off for real this time." it spun its staff around and a portal to the Digital world opened and SkullSatamon was pulled into it, Andromon dug his heels into the ground in order to not get sucked in, but then he saw Kate fly past him, he tried to grab her but his hand missed, he then walked forwards to a lamp-post and put Ari on the other side of it. "stay here young one." he said, he then turned around and ran straight for the Portal and jumped through. Oblivion Ascent 08-23-2011 05:48 PM As Phantomon rendered SkullSatamon an eternity of oblivion, a little smirk crept over his face... Which promptly disappeared as the Demon Man Digimon reappeared, seemingly unharmed. MagnaAngemon stared at it, blinking twice in disbelief "... This can't be. There's no way..." However, his state of disbelief was again overwhelmed by one of anger when SkullSatamon jumped back through a portal. "You Scum. GET BACK HERE!!!" As the Angel bellowed with rage, he leapt into the portal, his wrist-mounted sword at the ready... __________________________________________________ _______________ As Andromon set Ari down by the lamp post, she grabbed onto it will all the strenght her tiny form could afford. That had been terrifying. That had been horrible. That had been awesome. As her fear was replaced by a strange sense of exhilaration, and MagnaAngemon jumped through the portal, there was a glow from her Digivice. And then she vanished. __________________________________________________ _______________ As BanchoLeomon asked if they could get a move on, Examon just nodded. "Yeah, lets get a move on before the next thinly veiled Valve Shout-Out arrives..." Walking into the town, Examon observed that the place was near-empty, with only the stray Numemon. At the same time, he felt his energy run low, signifying that he would have to de-digivolve soon. Draconis Nevyn 08-24-2011 05:31 PM Elle looked at DemiMeramon, "Well.. FUCK!" she shouted, though there was no one around to hear her. She wasn't about to let the scum get away that easily, and she rushed forward, running headfirst into the portal, with DemiMeramon screaming cheerfully by her side. "THIS IS FREAKIN' AWESOME!" he shouted in her ear, but she didn't deign to reply she was just staring ahead coldy, following the light of MagnaAngemon as best as she could. Mattmanganon 08-24-2011 05:44 PM Kate got to her feet and looked around, she had landed in a desert. suddenly Andromon landed next to her. "are you alright ma'am?" he asked. she nodded, Andromon looked around. there was no sign of SkullSatamon. he then heard a sound and looked up to see the others being spit out of the portal. Oblivion Ascent 08-25-2011 11:36 AM There was a little 'poofing' noise as the form of MagnaAngemon descended from the Portal, his descent slowed by his many wings. Landing softly on the desert sands, he looked around, making no sight of SkullSatamon. He sighed, rubbing his temples in frustration. "Infernal Scum escaped again... When I get my hands on him, I'll-" "Omigosh, this is awesome!!!" MagnaAngemon paused as he heard the other voice. Slowly turning around, he saw the source of the voice, a young, red haired girl doing a little twirl in excitement. "This is the Digital World, isn't it!?! Yay! Squishy's been going on about how awesome it is an' how many Digimon there an'..." As Ari carried on, MagnaAngemon stared at her, blinking slowly. "What's she doing he-" And then he saw the Digivice, and it all fell into place. "... What." tobiax 08-25-2011 04:34 PM They had been walking in relative silence for quite some time. It was after noon, and the sky shone amber through the digital trees. Although he knew where he was going, he didn't expect to recognize any place specifically until they approached the village, which is what made the familiarity of the surrounding wood all the more eerie. Jordan looked around, flashes of memory's ghosts appearing before his eyes. He took a step back, his eyes wide, his brow beginning to sweat. His face went pale as he realized where he had accidentally led them. Shrewmon looked up towards Jordan, hearing his footfalls cease. "Jordan, are you ok?" the rodent Digimon asked. Jordan stood there shaking, unable to move or speak, only a choked breath escaping his lips. In his mind, what had happened there repeated in blurry, distorted spurts, each action tearing through him like a flaming claw. Draconis Nevyn 08-25-2011 05:50 PM Elle flew through the portal and with nothing to slow her down, she free-fell towards the ground, where she lay motionless. DemiMeramon, quickly flew over to her as he noticed she wasn't moving and he turned her over, she was alive and she'd only broken her left arm. She considered herself lucky, the drop was rather large. She just groaned and sat up, patting DemiMeramon for his help she stood up and looked around, they were alone other than the other two and their Digimon, she sighed. Here she was. What was the girl babbling about? The others were here? Of course! How hadn't she seen it before? She's join with the other two and search for them. She walked over to Ari, the pain visible on her face but she was able to cope with it util she was able to find a way to sort it properly, it would have to be soon though. Mattmanganon 08-25-2011 11:52 PM Dirk woke up and looked around. he tried to stand but his hands were bound to his feet. he could see that they were in a forest area, it looked like a village, there were loads of different Digimon walking around, he looked and saw that everyone else was there, bound as well, he couldn't see Impmon or any of the other partners around. he tried desperately to remember what had happened but all he could remember was walking through the forest with the others and then... he shook his head. "dammit." a large samurai like Digimon walked past. "excuse me, why did you do this?" he asked. the Samurai took no notice. he looked around at the others. "guys, wake up, wake up!" Vocalia 08-26-2011 12:52 AM Zei groaned and woke up to see herself tied up. She looked around and saw the black long stick she was carrying gone as well. Turning to her side, she could see Dirk and Jordan all tied up. She tried to squirm out of her hold, but it was obvious that she couldn't do much. "I-I'm awake, Dirk..." She replied to his call, trying to look for Dorumon. tobiax 08-28-2011 12:13 AM The light blared through his eyelids. Jordan stirred opening his eyes to find himself on the ground and unable to move. He looked around, his eyes unfocused, trying to find Shrewmon, who was nowhere to be seen. There were other Digimon around, but that was almost a given; they were in the Digital World. He rolled his head back and closed his eyes again; whatever was going to happen, he could do nothing about it now. "Well, they got me," he muttered to himself, "I deserve it for comming back." He squirmed and moved his shoulder, covering his face as best he could with the collar of his pullover. Maybe they didn't know who he was yet; in which case, he had better keep them from finding out. PsychoScythe 08-28-2011 11:02 PM Lucas and Leomon waved goodbye to Whamon as they slid off his back, the Whale Digimon swimming off once Siggy and NeonGuilmon had gotten off as well. The ride over to Server had taken a few hours, but both BanchoLeomon and Examon had run out of energy to maintain their forms, and devolved back into their usual forms. "So, what do we do now?" Lucas asked the others, pulling out his Digivice. The teen remembered that the Digivice's radar function allowed him to search for other Digivice signals as well, and that was exactly what he did. Surprisingly enough, the radar revealed six Digivice signals besides his own and Siggy's. That was three more than should've appeared. "Hey Fluffy, does your radar detect six Digivices insead of three?" He turned to Siggy, wondering if his Digivice was crapping out on him, or there actually were three more Digidestined on this continent. vincanity0011210 08-29-2011 04:10 AM Leon had been awake on the ground for a good ten minutes now. He had yet to say anything but his mind was seething in anger. The only reason, Leon believed, that he hadn't Dark Digivolved was because he couldn't feel Veemon anywhere. Instead he concentrated on ignoring their captors and trying to reach his knife in his back pocket. It was hard to grip or even feel it because of his head spinning. After voices started to call out Leon sighed in relief. "Welcome to the conscious world you guys! This is their deluxe "fuck me up the butt" package!" he shouted in irritation before feeling the pocket knife in his fingers. Getting a grip on it he unlatched the blade and began the process of trying to cut the binds. Mattmanganon 08-30-2011 02:32 PM ((yeah, Draconis' post doesn't count, he said that he was going to delete it.)) Dirk had been working at his bonds and suddenly a hand slipped free, then the other hand then his legs and he was free, running over to the others, he untied them. "come on guys, we have to go and rescue... Kate?" behind everyone was Kate. "Dirk, everyone, i was hoping to find you all." she said. "follow me, your Digimon are this way." she said. but at that point she was lifted off of her feet by Dirk. "i was worried that i would never see you again." he said. "i was worried about the same thing." she said hugging him back. she then turned to a Musyamon. "why did you tie them up?" "because the Supreme one ordered all strangers to be tied up." replied the Samurai Digimon. "i will speak to the Supreme one." she said as she led them all to a hut. inside was a table laden with food that the digimon were scarfing down. Impmon had drawn a line on the table and threatened to kill anyone who went for his food, but naturally that line took up most of the table. "IMPMON!!!" yelled dirk running up to the imp digimon and picking him up. "yeah, yeah, nice to see you, now get off of me pineapple head, there's food!" he yelled wriggling out of Dirks grasp and eating more. Vocalia 08-30-2011 09:01 PM Zei followed Kate and Dirk into the room and was relieved to see Dorumon contentedly eating the food provided for her. "Hey, what took you so long?" Dorumon raised a brow. "Come on, Zei. There's food here. You could use something to eat." She smiled and walked towards her, carrying a huge chunk of meat. "Y-Yes... Of course..." Zei blinked and nodded, too confused and relieved at the moment. She then remembered something. "Pardon, I recall bringing a long black item on my back. May I have it back?" She asked. Mattmanganon 08-30-2011 09:21 PM a Musyamon looked at Zei and then retreaved a long black pole like thing from a box and then handed it to her. "i apologise, we have orders from the supreme one." said the Samurai as he presented Zei with her item. Vocalia 08-31-2011 12:30 AM "It's alright. Thank you." Zei bowed her head and took the long item. She uncovered the black sheet covering the item, revealing it to be a katana. Holding onto its sheath and handle, she pulled the sword out. The accompanying sound made it clear that it was no joke item as the sharp metal gleamed against the light. She put the now-digitalized weapon back into its sheath before strapping it again on her back. Zei then took her seat beside Dorumon who seemed to know about this particular possession. tobiax 08-31-2011 02:03 AM Jordan was surprised when he was released from his bonds, and even more-so that it wasn't a means of execution. He hadn't seen that Musyamon before, and for that he was glad. He entered the hut after everyone else was well inside. As he approached, he noticed an almost fierce glare from a dusty old Digitamamon which sent a chill up his spine. A small tear welled up in his eye as he saw Shrewmon, who was actually standing on the table. He snapped out his hand and snatched up a nut which was clearly past Impmon's personal Maginot line. He popped it into his mouth and bounded over the table to avoid any retaliation from the small but feisty Digimon. Jordan watched as Zei displayed her katana, feeling a mix of admiration and eerie dejavous. His left hand twitched as the memories began to return to him; from what he had learned, humans should never carry weapons in the Digital World. He was shaken from his train of thought as Shrewmon approached, holding a double pawfull of food. "Thanks, but you know I usually eat light," Jordan replied, taking an apple from his friend's outstretched paw. Jordan waited a moment, tossed the apple in the air, and then took a bite. He put it in his synthetic fabric lined pocket for later, dry side down. "Now," he spoke up out of a truly deep concern, "what did you bring that for?" Jordan asked with a nod towards Zei's back and the weapon upon it. Vocalia 08-31-2011 03:45 AM "I can't logically explain this..." Zei looked at Jordan. "But perhaps you might understand." She took a deep breath. "A night before we leave for Digital World, I saw Alphamon in my dreams. In her hand was some sort of weapon. It looked like a sword, but I could only assume from its shape..." She said. "In my own hand was my family's heirloom katana. I was holding it on the same hand as Alphamon was holding her weapon." She glanced at the japanese sword on her back. "This might sound surreal to you, but I was fighting Alphamon in my dream. I thought that it might be a message... A premonition of sort." tobiax 09-01-2011 02:10 AM Jordan leaned back on the balls of his feet and gave Zei a sideways glance. "Well then you had better watch your back," he stated quietly, almost coldly. Inwardly, Jordan was analyzing what Zei had said. He had an idea that the Digital World could spill over into dreams, but fighting this Alphamon could not be good. Without another word, he turned on his heels and left the hut, taking a bite of the apple as he left. Shrewmon followed his companion, but not before grabbing a handful of berries. Jordan started towards a log to take a seat and think the situation over further. He made a partial turn, and almost called out in surprise when the same DigiTamamon stood before him. It gave him the same hostile glare, and by it's stance he knew it wouldn't let him leave without some sort of confrontation. "I've been watching you and you're not going to get away unpunished!" the DigiTamemon said angrily, and loudly enough for its voice to be heard clearly in the hut. Oblivion Ascent 09-03-2011 01:34 AM As Lucas questioned the state of his Digivice, Siggy raised an eyebrow, and reached for his own. Turning on the radar function, he noticed that he too had the same situation, with the three extra signals. "Huh. As a matter of fact, it does. Weird." __________________________________________________ _________________ As the DigiTamamon vented some unknown bottled rage at Jordan, there was a hiss of air as a black hand appeared on the Digimon's shell, where it's shoulder would be if it had one. "Now now, be polite to the guests," The owner of the hand, a headless humanoid shape of a Digimon clad in what appeared to be a leather jumpsuit, purred in a soft irish accent. Turning it's attention to the group, the Headless Digimon performed a small bow, an cloth-covered object held under it's right arm becoming noticeable as it did so. "Greetings, Digidestined. Our master, the Supreme One, requests your presence in the Great Hall..." As the Digimon spoke, a black cloud emerged from where it's head should have been, and some movement was seen from under the cloth covering the mysterious object. tobiax 09-03-2011 06:16 PM "He's no guest," DigiTamamon shouted, "Don't you know who this is?!?" it fumed. Digitamamon shook the hand of the misty Digimon off its shoulder. "The Supreme One will thank me for teaching this filth a lesson!" it said angrily as the hole in its shell changed shape. "Swing Egg!" Digitamamon shouted, launching an ostrich egg-like projectile. It struck Jordan in the stomach, dropping him to his hands and knees. Shrewmon glared at Digitamamon, ready to attack. "No, Shrewmon, it's ok..." Jordan said with a gasp. Oblivion Ascent 09-03-2011 06:39 PM As the Digitamamon angrily questioned it as to whether it knew who Jordan was, the black cloud emanating from the headless Digimon grew vastly in size, and took on a vile sulphuric stench. "No, and it's not in my nature to care." Almost immediately after it had spoken, the Egg Digimon pushed it's authority to the side, and launched a projectile at Jordan. There was a sudden chill in the air of the room, as the black cloud grew even larger in size, darkening. As it focused on Digitamamon, there was a hiss as a glob of darkness appeared in it's hands, coagulating and reforming into the shape of a slender, intricate scythe, the blade of which let off an ominous glint. "Let me remind you, Digitamamon. I am taking direct orders from the Supreme One. Those orders are for me to take these humans to her, safe and unharmed. You just attacked one of them." To illustrate it's point, it pointed the scythe towards Digitamamon. "Can you see where I'm going with this?" tobiax 09-04-2011 01:43 AM The Digitamamon began to explain, "This one is a danger to the Digital World, and a threat to the Supreme One's power. I was unaware of the Supreme One's orders at the moment, but please, won't you see, this is a wolf in sheep's clothing!" Jordan, still on his hands and knees, glanced over to Shrewmon, making sure he was ok. A worried look showed on the Digimon's face. "Jordan, don't..." he whispered. "He's right," Jordan spoke up, "I am." Mattmanganon 09-04-2011 01:50 AM Dirk looked at Jordan. "what are you talking about, are you a spy for the royal knights or something? a shapeshidfting Digimon?" he asked. tobiax 09-04-2011 02:16 AM Jordan glanced up at Dirk, "No, I'm a human, and I'm still fuzzy about who these Royal Knights are, but it's not something I'm going to drag any one else into." With that, Jordan lowered himself, as if bowing, his head upon the ground, and balanced on his elbows and knees. Tears gathered in Shrewmon's eyes; he knew exactly what Jordan was saying, and wanted him to let it go. He knew his partner wouldn't protect himself, but Shrewmon was prepared to attack Digitamamon, even if it only put himself in more danger. vincanity0011210 09-04-2011 09:39 PM After getting untied Leon quickly followed the rest before being tackled by Veemon, who had half a fruit sticking out of his mouth still. Luckily Leon put his knife away beforehand or that hug could have been bad for everyone involved. "Short stuff! How the hell are you stuffing our mouth at a time like this! Whats going on!" Leon asked Veemon. Instead on answering Veemon just tried to swallow the fruit and took Leon by the hand toward the food. Not one to ignore a good meal, Leon quickly began to pick through the food until he found something he liked. His head tilted when Zei suddenly had a sword, making hsi eye twitch. "Oh goody. This adventure is obviously going to be safe." As if on cue with a universal joke, as their group seemed to fall under all the time, a Digitamamon decided Jordan needed to be hit with an egg. This did not sit well with either of the duo, but Leon especially was wondering what Jordan apparently had done. Heading outside to join Jordan and Shrewmon, Veemon double Digivolved into AreoVeedramon and gave the egg digimon a swift kick to the side. Leon decided to deal with Jordan. "Okay man. We know you've been here before, we know you know the digital world well, we know you did something." Leon said, counting the list off on his right hand. "Don't you think that if your going to travel with us and help us you could tell us which Sovergin you killed and how much action you got from Lilithmon? Because I doubt whatever you did is as bad as what not telling us will make us imagine." tobiax 09-05-2011 01:09 AM Jordan stood up and brushed the dirt off his arms and legs, apparently unaffected by what Leon's harsh words. "If any of the Sovereigns died, it had nothing to do with me, and let's just say I was never on speaking terms with that wretch of a Digimon," he said, noticing his temper rising and calming himself before continuing, "I had better go," he said, turning towards the woods and motioning to Shrewmon, who was obviously glad that Jordan was ok, "I don't want to cause any more trouble for you." With that, Jordan left the confines of the village and sat just beyond the bushes. Shrewmon followed, but not before hugging AeroVeedramon's leg to show his appreciation. He then turned to Leon. "Please don't be so hard on Jordan, he's been through a lot and he feels really bad about it. He needs to let it go, but I'm not going to tell either, it's painfull for him," the rodent Digimon explained. Shrewmon the bounded over to Jordan to comfort him. "I know you don't want to say it in front of all those Digimon, but you should at least tell someone in the group, don't ya think?" "I'm really not sure," Jordan replied, "maybe I should just leave. They got to the Digital World, and this 'Supreme One' probably knows the way to the Royal Knights' castle. I should probably just find some way back to the Real World." "But Jordan," Shrewmon retorted, "maybe this is your chance to make up for it again. Maybe you'll finally be able to forget if you do this. Maybe... the nightmares will stop..." Vocalia 09-05-2011 01:20 AM Zei and Dorumon walked out to see Jordan and Shrewmon leaving. The tomboy Digimon stood beside AeroVeedramon and sighed. "Humans... Always the sentimental type." She scoffed. "And I wonder why some Digimons aren't fond of humans." She shook her head. Zei made her way to Leon's side and looked at him with a sad frown. "We should leave Jordan for a while. Something tells me that he needs sometime alone." She said to him. "In any case, does your leader wish to see us?" She asked Digitamamon, looking at the egg-shaped Ultimate. tobiax 09-05-2011 01:49 AM Jordan heard Zei speak, and looked back for a moment, but he saw how closely knit they were, and didn't want to disturb them. ***** Digitamamon stood awkwardly and looked at his superior, then to Zei. "Yes, apparently there are orders," Digitamamon stated, slightly cocky, "The Supreme One is in that hut back there," he said with a nod, more humbly, "Be sure to announce yourselves, The Supreme One does not like uninvited visitors, at least that's what I've heard." Oblivion Ascent 09-05-2011 07:22 PM As the Digitamamon calmed down and apologized, the Headless Digimon's scythe dissolved back into the black glob, the black cloud clearing. It's ire at having it's orders obstructed resolved, it turned it's attention back to the group (It appeared that it had little interest in Jordan) as Digitamamon gestured to the Supreme One's bode and advised them of caution. "Anyway, Digitamamon is right. She's waiting for us as we speak. If you would care to follow me, I'll take you to her." It paused, before adding: "As for uninvited visitors, she knows who you are, and is apparently familiar with most of you," It said, before gesturing to Jordan, ""Although, she didn't mention anything about that one." vincanity0011210 09-05-2011 07:22 PM Leon rolled his eyes at Digitamamon and looked over to AreoVeedramon. Sharing a look for a moment, Leon nodded. Turning to Digitamamon AVmon let out a fierce cry of "Magnum Crasher!!!" and socked the egg in the eyes. this sent the digimon rolling quite a distance away as Veemon suddenly appeared in place of his larger form. "Well, lets go see this Supreme One then, okay Leon?" Veemon asked, not waiting for an answer and running towards the hut. Leon on the other hand looked back at Jordan and Zei. He wanted them to all stay together, but he was tired of trying to control anyone else. "Okay, me and Vee are heading in. you guys are more than welcome to join us!" he called out before turning to run to Veemon. The blue dino was already at the threshold, his mouth hanging open. oh goody, apparently this Supreme One is really impressive. Lets check this out then Leon thought before entering the hut and having his own jaw drop. "No. No fucking way." Mattmanganon 09-05-2011 08:15 PM Dirk watched with a little awe as Digitamamon was sent flying. "wow... you've got a left hook like Rocky Balboa." he said. "who's that?" asked Impmon. "is he some human with hooks for hands or something?" "he's a man that goes around beating up digimon who ask too many questions." said dirk giving Impmon an evil smile, he then turned around and followed everyone, they entered the hut and Dirk heard Leon let out an exclaimation. "what's the hullabaloo about?" asked Dirk, then he saw the Supreme one. Impmon saw the Supreme one as well. "NO, NOT THAT, ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!" tobiax 09-05-2011 09:22 PM Jordan whinced as he heard the thunk of AeroVeedramon's fist sinking into Digitamamon's mysterious but apparently vulnerable skin. It made him sick to think that a Digimon who was supposed to be good would attack unprevoked, once their point had already been made. He leaned forward, feeling like he was going to vomit. An eerie tingle shot up his spine, and his vision darkened. Shrewmon had begun to speak, but Jordan couldn't hear what he was saying. Through a haze, he saw what looked like a lighthouse, but something was wrong, and it seemed that blackness kept being forced in his eyes. His mind cleared, Shrewmon looked to him with concern. Jordan nodded to show his companion he was alright. Jordan heard the mysterious headless Mega level Digimon speak. "Anyway, Digitamamon is right. She's waiting for us as we speak. If you would care to follow me, I'll take you to her. As for uninvited visitors, she knows who you are, and is apparently familiar with most of you. Although, she didn't mention anything about that one." Jordan looked out of the corner of his eye, only to see the mysterious Digimon gesture towards him. He looked away quickly. A few moments later, he heard the exadurated reactions of the others at they saw the apparent 'Supreme One'. "NO, NOT THAT, ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!" he heard Dirk yell, with Impmon right behind him. 'This Supreme One can't be that bad,' Jordan thought to himself, 'I can't detect anything from that direction, at least nothing digital which warents that kind of reaction.' Vocalia 09-05-2011 11:33 PM Zei and Dorumon looked at one another in confusion as they heard Impmon scream from the Supreme One's hut. "I wonder what happened..." Zei mused, looking at the direction of the hut with concern. "Well, anything that made Impmon scream would be either cute or ugly. Either way, let's just see for ourselves." Dorumon shrugged and casually made her way into the hut. Inside, however, she was left with her jaw dropping. If Digital physics permitted it, her jaw would've touched the ground. When Zei followed suit, she greeted the Supreme One with the same, shocked and baffled, expression. Dorumon, at this point, could only muster one thing. "You're kidding. You're kidding, right?" Oblivion Ascent 09-06-2011 12:38 AM As the last member of her visitors entered the hut, the Supreme One quickly moved her head from side to side, taking in the expressions of shock and/or horror on their faces. Behind her, her three attendants stood in silence, also observing the looks on the group's faces A Valkyrimon looked straight at them, her gaze cold and unflinching. An Anubismon tilted it's head, in a show of curiosity not unlike a puppy. And finally, a MagnaAngemon decided to break the silence. "So, 'Supreme One,'" It said, in a casual, playful tone unbefitting his otherwise radiant glory, "Have you anything to say to our guests?" Looking up at her right hand man, the Supreme One tilted her head. Before breaking out in a happy smile. "Hey guys," Ari said, giggling profusely in joy, "Surprise!!!" __________________________________________________ _______________ As Siggy and Lucas collectively questioned whether their Digivices were working, NeonGuilmon sniffed the air, wearing his equivalent of a happy smile. The trip by Whamon hadn't been too unpleasant, and as far as he could tell, the others weren't too far away. After the choppiness of earlier, this was a nice, refreshing break. And the best bit? Almost nothing could go wrong. It was in his own state of elation that he didn't notice the cracks spread along the earth. __________________________________________________ _______________ On the other hand, Siggy, being in no such state, stared dumbfounded at the spider-web like network of cracks spreading along the ground, seemingly randomly. If mainstream media had taught him anything, it was that this kind of shit ended badly. "Uh, guys? Not sure if you've noticed, but-" He never got the chance to finish the sentence. __________________________________________________ _______________ As Siggy reached the ever-suffering midsentence, the ground was wracked with a titanic tremorous rumble, enough to throw him to the ground. And as he hit the ground, the network of cracks in the ground burst upwards, earth and rock shooting upwards as a dark structure as large as the teen rose towards the sky. A Gauntleted Hand. You are, all of you, garbage. __________________________________________________ _______________ As he heard these words, NeonGuilmon froze over, roused from his state of euphoric catatonia. Slowly, he turned, his teeth bared and his eyes glowing with a reddish tint. "YOU..." __________________________________________________ _______________ Undeterred by the Dinosauric Digimon's anger, the hand continued to rise, followed by a cowled, plumed head with harsh crimson eyes. You carry your dignity with pomp and haught, refusing to yield to that which is infinitely greater than you. But that shall go unpunished no longer. There was another explosive burst, this time one that propelled the creature out from the ground. As it descended towards the ground, it carried on with it's boastful proclamation, it's arms held out like a priest delivering a sermon. It is by my dreadful strength that your hubris shall be rendered into oblivion. It is by my dreadful strength that you shall be cast into fiery catharsis. I am the Second Royal Knight, Bringer of Rage and Madness. I am Craniamon. I am here. Finally, it's feet touched the ground, and as it gained a balance, it looked upon the two teens and their partners with a look of conceited smugness. It focused it's gaze on NeonGuilmon, the smug smile twisting into an even uglier shape at the sight of the Digimon's palpitable anger. "Why hello there, Examon," Craniamon crooned, obviously enjoying himself, "U Mad?" __________________________________________________ _______________ To Be Continued...
