The Digital Expanse {Digimon x Megaman RP}

Before the Mettaurus could fire its blaster, its arm was struck awry by Kudamon's attack. Ciel took the opening to make an attack of her own, but only resulted in her being thrown aside and breaking the ground beneath her with the force of the toss. She stood back up as Aki used a rather ingenious chip to prepare Ciel for her attempted suicide maneuver, halving any damage she would take as she grappled the virus hazard. The virus responded by aiming its blaster at Fefnir, though Candlemon's attack hit first, blocking the barrel and causing the shot to explode inside of it, causing a massive explosion that damaged both it and Ciel behind it. As the smoke cleared from the blast the Mettaurus could be seen missing its right arm where the blaster had been, neon ooze coming from the stump.

Fefnir took the opportunity to command Enma to use a battlechip. In a moment his arm turned into a blaster as well as he fired off a Heat-V, the blast hitting the Mettaurus and creating a cone behind it, of which Ciel managed to avoid due to her positioning. However the virus didn't seem fazed by this attack, once again seeming to shrug off the flames. Noting this, Fefnir fired off several regular buster shots that opened up new wounds on the virus. As the Mettaurus was shot it began to struggle out of Ciel's grip, soon to shake her off.

It was at this time that Lily heard a strange voice. Sounding both male and female, quiet and loud, cruel and kind, it spoke to her and her alone. It asked a simple question. "Do you wish to survive?"

Sorry for the delay and for any typos in this, I have no internet so I'm on my phone.

Yeah, welcome back! You can use your old character or make a new one if you want. I'll send you the discord link again via PM.

Ye-llow~ Looking for some more players for a Megaman Battle Network/Star Force and Digimon based RP. Right now we have three players and a fourth taking a hiatus from RPing in general. (This is the second time we've been in this position, funnily enough)
I'm hoping to get a few more players before we pass the first boss, since we're approaching on a good way to introduce new characters. Last time, I said: "This'll be the last time I put up an Interest Check for it, so if you have any interest please drop a reply!," but I was lying, apparently.

We're a bit slow on the pace, so if you want a relaxed RP, this might be a good one for you.

No knowledge of the two (three) series is technically required, but it'd help! I'm happy to help with any questions or concerns, both with making characters and with how the RP actually goes if you join. Hell, I'd be willing to walk someone through digimon/megaman lore entirely if they wanted to join and knew none of it. I mean it when I say there's little to no knowledge of the two series required, it's just a benefit.

In summary: You play a human with 2 digimon partners, a netnavi partner, or one of each. Transported to a new set of worlds with new sets of rules, your main goal is to survive, and maybe save or doom those worlds while you're at it.

Thanks for reading and I hope that you'll decide to join us at: roleplayerguild.com/topics/184786-the…

The Digital Expanse {Digimon x Megaman RP}

The Mettaur's attack never struck its target. Instead, Kyaromon was able to use the power of Suzi's desperation to once again digivolve, this time into Kudamon. The energy from its digivolution even allowed it a temporary actualization, bringing it into the world in time to rescue Suzi from the shockwave. Its counterattack was not quite enough to defeat the virus, but did do substantial damage to it.

The Mettaurus L, as it seemed to be called, meanwhile was being attacked by the other digital beings. This began with Fefnir firing several blasts that the Mettaurus seemed to take little damage from. In fact, the virus seemed almost unperturbed by the fire. It quickly swiped at Fefnir with a long black whip that formed from its hand, the whip moving so fast that it couldn't be dodged. Strangely though, the whip did no damage, as Fefnir jumped back when it seemed to connect and the actual attack lagged behind the appendage, missing its target by a second. Minomon took the opening to fire threads at the virus only to have them grabbed and pulled on, throwing the digimon to the ground. The Mettaurus then fired what appeared to be a buster shot at Lily, though it moved much slower than a normal buster and DemiMeramon was able to digivolve once more to blast it away with a fireball. Minomon managed to get a better grip on the legs of the virus and slow it down somewhat while Ciel fired her buster at it. Her aim resulted in it taking no damage but she was able to get in close enough to use a Tornado battlechip, surrounding the virus in a whirlwind that sliced at it repeatedly.

As the tornado died down around it, the Mettaurus could be seen with gashes along its black body, each of which was a deep blue color and leaked neon green liquid that could only be assumed to be blood of some kind. The virus swatted Ciel away with another whip, the impact striking her before the whip visually reached its target, before its chest burst open in a grotesque display of blackened bones that could only be likened to having the ribcage of a giant busted open with a sledgehammer. From the center of these bones came a tendril of ethereal darkness that instantly homed in on the last remaining Mettaur, grabbing it and quickly pulling it back inside the Mettaurus. As the bones closed around the smaller virus the Mettaur appeared to glitch before melting into the same neon green liquid that seeped from the Mettaurus' wounds. The opening in its chest closed and the wounds the virus had quickly dissipated, steam coming from them as they sealed back up. It was the virus hazard's turn now.

The Mettaurus tried to take a step forward only to be stopped by the small green digimon holding its leg. As it continued trying to move forward it flashed white for only a split second, and when it finished the thread caught on fire where it was connected to the virus, the fire quickly moving down the thread towards the digimon. The hazard then fired a few shots of its own buster at Ciel, the bullets moving at varying speeds, before turning to Fefnir and charging straight at him, moving as if a video game model was not synched to its walk cycle correctly, its legs moving at the wrong speeds for it to run as quickly as it was. It slammed into Fefnir with its helmet, though the impact was far less than its momentum would suggest. The attack did little damage to the navi but did succeed in knocking him back quite a ways. The virus then aimed at Kudamon, its buster's barrel glowing a dark blue as light seemed to be pulled into it. The Navi Operators would instantly realize that it was charging a shot, and the Digimon Tamers would likely notice this as well. The humans and their partners would have a few precious moments before the attack was unleashed to try to stop it.

Suzuki had been frozen by the overwhelming feelings within her, and had luckily not been the target of any of the viruses. At least, that was true until now. The Mettaur coming from the south got within range and, noticing a non-moving target, raised its pickaxe and brought it down in front of it, sending a shock-wave along the ground at Suzi.

It took a few shots from Fefnir's blaster to do any meaningful damage to the virus, but the activation of Heat-V brought a quick end to the Mettaur, dealing more than enough damage to delete it, another bit-crunched scream coming from it as the flame shot spread at an acute angle from where it stood, creating the "V" that Heat-V was named for.

Lily and Aki had been given a moment's reprieve thanks to the diligent work of Ciel.exe. Even Simon had been granted safety from the viruses, for now. However, as the humans and NetNavis looked around them, they may have noticed that the two Mettaurs from the west were still approaching. They also likely noticed a rise in temperature once again, and that the sun was now seemingly ready to go down across the horizon. It couldn't have been a full day fighting these viruses, could it? And surely the sun going down would lower the temperature?

As the first Mettaur from the west entered firing distance, it stood and fired a bullet at the tower, which bounced off the metal beams with a loud plink sound. Then stood the other Mettaur, the one that did not have a normal helmet. From the ground came a large humanoid figure that was as dark as night, no different in color than the body of the other Mettaur, but this was clearly nothing like them. As it stood, the humans' Expanse Callers would announce in their wearer's voice: "Digital Hazard detected. Anomalous data registered. Scanning." As the Mettaur(?), now looking not unlike a NormalNavi if it were painted black and given a Mettaur helmet, slowly approached, a feeling of unease swept through those who looked at it. Something about it was... off, somehow. The way it moved, slowly and not quite matching the way it should be moving in order to actually cross the distance it did. The way it shimmered, as if the inverse of a hot summer day's haze. The way the eyes seemed to melt into fluid only to spin through its sockets and reform, over and over again.

This was clearly something not natural; not natural to the world, to the games or toys that the humans knew of, not natural even to the digital world the two NetNavis had vague memories of. It was alongside this realization that the Expanse Callers once again spoke.

Kyaromon strained with all its might, trying to follow its partner's instructions, but it seemed to lack the energy needed to digivolve further. It looked back at Suzy apologetically before trying again, and once again being unable to digivolve. The sense of danger fading away from Suzy's mind might have had something to do with it, but there was no way to be sure. It could just as easily have been any number of other reasons. But Kyaromon kept trying.

Seeing a new threat, the Mettaur that Fefnir shouted at targeted him and swung its pickaxe at the ground, causing a shockwave that blasted in a straight line towards him. It moved at a decent but easy to dodge pace, slower than the bullets that the viruses fired.

Lily reached the top of the hill and shouted, the Mettaur behind her chasing after her until it noticed that Simon wasn't running away. The virus began targeting him instead, but he frantically dodged the attacks, giving Lily a chance to escape from it. As she ran, she tripped and fell down the hill, landing a short ways away from the newly formed Navi that was partnered with Aki.

Ciel.exe formed in a similar way to Fefnir, a silhouette of light that quickly filled with ones and zeroes, leaving a solid body where they passed. The instant she fully formed she had slashed the Mettaur in twain, causing its halves to flash white and disappear with a loud sound of a bit-crunched screech. The other Mettaur that had fired at Aki now turned to face Ciel, firing a bullet at her.

As the three final viruses approached the tower ever closer, it became clear that one of the two from the west had a strange marking on its helmet in place of the usual green plus sign. In fact, it looked a lot like the marking on the underside of the wrist brace on the humans' Expanse Callers...

The Digital Expanse {Digimon x Megaman RP}

The virus Simon had stepped away from seemed to have its attention taken fully by the two digimon, Wormmon and Candlemon, and was ignoring him now that they'd changed. It seemed that Lily's desperation had been the trigger needed for her partners to digivolve into their Child stage, finally battle-ready. Though the box's contents remained a mystery, and likely would stay as such for now, at least now there was a fighting chance for the two children on that side of the hill, perhaps more-so now that Solarman had awoken.

As Enma activated the chip, inserting it into one of the small slots near his wrist, his partner Fefnir.exe's silhouette appeared in red in the world in front of him before filling from the bottom up with red 1s and 0s, his form realizing as they passed each part of him. Within a second, he was standing there in full force, ready to fight. It seemed that the egg in Enma's vision was unaffected by the chip, however. Perhaps the user's intent had something to do with its effect?

Similar to Lily, Suzi's desperate command had brought about digivolution for her partner, and though it remained safe and secure within her Expanse Caller, it was now in its In-Training II stage and closer to being ready for a real battle.

Aki's hand went to the pickaxe, and to the virus' immense surprise, and likely to everyone else's as well, the pickaxe stopped as it bounced off her hand. The force behind it was enough to injure her where it connected, but she had managed to stop the attack before it finished, and in some miracle of timing, had -COUNTER-'d the attack, stunning the Mettaur for several seconds. Unfortunately, the Mettaur that had ignored her before in order to continue to the tower seemed to sense this, instantly turning back around and jumping up to its full size. It stared at her for a moment before firing a bullet of energy at her. It seemed that these viruses weren't just limited to their pickaxe attacks as they were in the games some of the children knew them from, but could use the attacks of their predecessors from the earlier Megaman games as well.

The Digital Expanse {Digimon x Megaman RP}

As Lily cried out for help, her new partners seemed to understand as they jumped between her and the viruses, of which one had moved at astonishing speed past the other humans and the tower, towards her and Simon. As it reached them, it lifted up to reveal a small creature in and of itself. Simon and Lily's now Expanse Callers would chime up at this, stating "Mettaur, Class F virus found" in their wearer's own voices.

Similarly, the helmet that stopped when Aki approached would lift up to reveal itself as well, resulting in the same message from her Expanse Caller, once again in her own voice. It was at this moment that her strike connected, hurting her hand as the virus' hardhat felt rather like one a human might wear while constructing a building.

The Mettaur that Enma was watching also stood up, and for a third time the message "Mettaur, Class F virus found" would ring out, this time in his voice from his own Expanse Caller, and at the same moment from Suzuki's in her voice. It seemed that these "viruses" were somehow hidden when they were flush with the ground, but when they rose up the range that they were detected by the Expanse Callers was relatively large. The small creature in Suzuki's vision turned to face the virus that Enma had gained the attention of, its expression shifting almost imperceptibly towards a more "battle ready" one, if it could be called such a thing from such a small and fluffy creature.

The remaining helmets continued their approach towards the tower, two from the west and one from the south, without standing up. Their approach was slow but now obvious from the distance they had moved.

There didn't seem to be any innate hostility towards the humans from these viruses, yet the varied digital beings aligned with the five humans seemed to recognize them as a threa

The Digital Expanse {Digimon x Megaman RP}

Enma's partner was correct, the three humans and their new companions were nearly surrounded. As Aki approached the pair of helmets, she became able to see their slight movements from side to side as they made their way closer to the tower. One of the two stopped when she got within a few feet, while the other seemed to ignore her. Meanwhile, the three to the west stopped their imperceptible movement and the one to the north seemed to be lifted slightly at the front, revealing blackness beneath it and what appeared to be two white rings to anyone who looked in its direction.

Several yards to the east awoke two more humans who had appeared during the flash of light from the tower. There was a small hill between them and the other three, obscuring their view of the other humans. These two humans were a young boy and an even younger girl who awoke to circumstances even stranger than the earlier five had. Underneath their heads, in place of pillows, were two boxes. In the one under Simon's head was five of the blank battlechips that could be found in the boxes near the tower as well as five of the blank capture cards and what looked to be seven battlechips ripped straight from the Battle Network games. Lily's box contained only ten of the blank capture cards and another smaller box with a keyhole on the front of it. The box seemed to be made of ivory with golden accents, and while it didn't have a seam to open at, the keyhole must mean that it can be opened, right?

As they awoke, the two would notice that they already had their Expanse Callers' holographic overlays in their vision. Simon's had a yellow egg with darker yellow splotches on it being held by a sleeping but already initialized person, if they were even that. However, the strangest thing would be that Lily was beset on either side by large eggs. To her right was an orange egg, about the size of her head, and on her left was a light green egg that was just smaller enough than the other to be noticeable.

The sun had moved in the sky enough to be noticed by anyone looking at it in this short amount of time, and the temperature seemed to get even warmer.

@DarkwolfX37I just finished my CS is it oaky or do I need to change anything?

@Duthguy

Looks good! You'll be waking up nearby, not quite within eyesight of the others but where you can see the tower from, and your box containing your chips and cards will be next to you. I'll specify all that in the next gm post but wanted to give you a heads up.
