Digimon: Into the Digital Age

It has begun.

Digimon: Into the Digital Age

Things seemed to be winding down in the street below. The battle was… well, chaotic was probably too strong a word for this bloodless scuffle between children, but it was certainly hectic. The young man in the mask had made quite a spectacle of himself, threatening to smash a Digivice of all things, before disappearing in a cloud of smoke. From his vantage point high above he had been able to see the boy and his Falcomon hopping across the rooftops across the city, but that was not important for now, not when he had a far greater prize in his sights.

There were only six of them remaining now; three children, two weakened Champions and one exhausted Rookie. Surely easy picking for one such as himself.

Leaning forward until his weight was balanced on the edge of the rooftop he released his grip on the concrete and began to fall, spreading wide his golden wings and catching the wind as he began to soar down the street towards the Digidestined. He landed on the building with a thud, four three-clawed feet touching down on the far side of the rooftop from the gathered humans and Digimon.

“Yes, bravo, a splendid, ahem, battle.” The horse-like Digimon began to pace towards them, moving slowly and steadily closer and closer. “Yes, you Digidestined took care of these ruffians marvellously. Although… they still seem to be alive.”

The Maildramon turned his featureless, helmeted head towards Minx and Orcamon. His gaze lingered on them for several tense seconds before moving back to KK and Axel. “Would you like me to take care of them for you?”

@King Cosmos quick question, is Alina's second mouth inside of her first mouth like a xenomorph?

@Guy0fV4lor

Kind of. It comes out from her mouth, out of her throat if you want to be specific, but it's not visible if she just opens her mouth.

I know it's kind of a cop out, but I was picturing it as kind of just disappearing when she isn't actively using it; it is six feet long I'll remind you. Either that or it just folds up really, really small in her esophagus.

Since it's basically a hollow tube that doesn't actually need to connect to anything to work, maybe it just flattens itself out and wraps around the inside of her skull like a hummingbird's tongue.

Alina’s uncovered eye widened in surprise as the metal surrounding Twisted Metal expanded to form a small forest of tree-like formations. Whoever this crazy guy was he seemed really strong; the guy with the shadows had already backed away and she saw some other guy who got too close to action get sent flying before the expanding metal blocked Alina’s view of things.

Just like she had thought, this was really fun. You didn’t get to see things like this happening in Russia; not outside of Moscow at least. The villains tended to keep a lower profile and the ‘heroes’ were the type who liked to deal with things outside of the public view. Fights, if they happened were quick, dirty and usually very lethal. Japan however liked to add so much flair to proceedings, as if everyone decided to take their anime and superhero comics as inspiration for how to live their life.

Her smile grew even sider. Coming here was a good decision.

Now someone else was running forward to fight Twisted Metal, somebody with lots of scarves and some fancy goggles. With the way he was running rampant it wouldn’t be long before someone took Twisted Metal down, he was simply attracting too much attention. In fact, it was probably about time for her to leave, before someone noticed her or the mess she had left behind in that alleyway. Maybe she should grab a snack before she left though?

As she pushed away from the tree she was leaning against something struck her hard in the back, eliciting a grunt as she stumbling forward a step. Holding a hand to her side she turned to face her attacker, seeing a mysterious cloaked figure military-like helmet and facemask. He’d punched her in the back and then ran away, taking a position several feet away and taking a ready stance.

Fool. If you have the drop on someone you should finish them off.

“Owwww, that was rude!” The pain was already fading to nothing. A recently fed Alina was a dangerous thing indeed. “I was having fun too. Hmm, I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”

No sooner than had she finished speaking Alina opened her jaw as wide as possible as her hidden appendage shot forward to close the distance between her and the mystery man, aiming to snap closed over his facemask and pull him forward.

Reaching the edge of the park Shingo slid to a stop as Twisted Metal’s quirk exploded outward, covering a sizeable area with branching metal structures. One branch in particular lashed out at someone who got too close and send them flying into a building nearby; the wall caved inwards under the force of the impact and whoever it was who got hit ended up in someone’s kitchen.

“Holy shit!”

Running towards the slowly clearing dust cloud, Shingo stepped up to the hole to peer inside and see if anyone needed help. Or was even still alive.

“Anyone in need of assistance in there?”

@King Cosmos does anything that gets caught in your Villain's second mouth automatically get nullified in terms of hurting her?

@Guy0fV4lor

Interesting question. I never really considered it.

I suppose I'd describe it as the appendage just being a normal physical limb up until the moment that she closes her mouth, at which point anything caught inside is instantly erased/digested.

So she could be hurt by anything she tries to eat up until that point. Technically she could eat a fireball but it would burn her and then disappear as soon as she closed her mouth.

@Skinner35

Then I have done my job.

My Hero Acadamia.

@King Cosmos Holy shit bro, already eating people I see XDDDDD

@Guy0fV4lor

I can already tell I'm going to have a lot of fun with this character.

My Hero Acadamia.

I was going to go straight for Nuke, but I forgot that he's still running towards the fight.

Oh well. Now you guys have another villain to play with at least.

My Hero Acadamia.

Feet pounding against the pavement, Shingo sprinted as fast as he could down the street towards the park; this close to the epicentre the streets were filled with people, most rushing in the opposite direction but several just standing around hoping to get a look at the action. So many people treated these fights as a spectator sport that it always made getting their quickly difficult. He tried to avoid barging people out of his way in his haste, calling out for everyone to clear the way as he approached, but more than once he jostled someone on the way past.

“MOVE ASIDE! HERO COMING THROUGH!”

He had his aura active, his lower legs surrounded in a glowing orange aura as he gathered power each time his feet hit the ground, his quirk absorbing the kinetic energy of each step. By the time he reached the park he should have built up a nice reserve of power to get things started with. From past experience he knew his main problem in a fight was resource management; running out of power was a big deal and although he could easily get more, it was risky and it was always better to end things as soon as possible.

“We take you back to our live camera feed of the action. Hideo, tell us what you can see?”

Shingo slid to a stop as he passed an electronics store, the full window display showing a news channel with footage of the park. The space outside the store was packed with people, but Shingo was tall enough to see over most peoples’ heads and catch some of what was going on. The footage was clearly being taken from a news helicopter, the view being high above the action and constantly circling around for a better angle.

“The villain appears to have been apprehended. An unknown person, possible a new hero has trapped with Twisted Metal with cords made out of some dark material. Not long ago another person we have identified as the vigilante Nuke arrived on the scene and someone else just arrived at the edge of the park. It looks like… ERASERHEAD! Yes, the pro hero Eraserhead just arrived to deal with the situation.”

Shingo left the store behind as people began to cheer, breaking out into another sprint. With three people on the scene to deal with the villain it was likely things would be over before he arrived, but even so he kept heading in the direction of the park. Something told him things weren’t going to go so smoothly.

“Hmmm? What going on?”

Taking another bite of her triple decker burger, Alina walked into the flowing tide of people. For some reason everyone seemed to be running away from the direction of the park, the crowd of people parting around her instinctively as they tried to put as much distance as they could between them and the crazed villain. Most of them seemed to be families, pairs of people carrying children between them or on their shoulders.

Curious, Alina followed the flow in the opposite direction to find its source, soon ending up alone on a street one row of buildings away from the park. She found the mouth of an alleyway between two shops and walked down it, only to find her path blocked by someone in a uniform.

A young police officer barred her path, holding up a hand to signal her to stop as he held up his other arm out to the side to physically block the alleyway. “I’m sorry miss, you can’t go through here; there is a situation with a villain in the park. You’ll be able to go through once the heroes have apprehended the suspect and we have finished our investigation.”

Alina leaned to the side to look past the officer curiously. She couldn’t see anything from here but if she listened carefully she thought she could hear something like laughter. “Aww, you can’t let me through? Spoilsport.”

“I’m afraid not miss. Please turn around and leave the area for your own safety.”

“But it sounds so fun over there.” With a sigh Alina raised the rest of her burger to her mouth and then opened her jaw wide. She slightly extended her second mouth outwards and swallowed the remainder of the oversized burger in one bite, not even needing to chew as the food disappeared as soon as the teeth met with a snap.

The young officer looked very nervous suddenly. Even when the second mouth retreated back inside he didn’t look reassured, though this may have had something to do with Alina’s wide mouthed grin which showed off all of her sharp teeth. “Hmm, I’m still hungry. I need something else to eat.”

As the officer tried to take a hesitant step back Alina snapped out a hand and grabbed his still outreached arm, her strong grip keeping him firmly in place. “You look tasty. Itadakimasuuuuuu~~~”

....

A few minutes later Alina walked out of the alleyway on the park side. She crossed over the quiet street and walked through the open gates into the park itself. It wasn’t hard to follow the sounds of carnage to find the excitement and she soon found what she was looking for.

Alina found a nice shady tree to stand under as she watched the fight between Shade and Twisted Metal, smiling wide as drops of scarlet fell from her blood soaked chin.

I'm going to post something today that will hopefully stir some things up.
