Digimon: After the Convergence

One question for everyone: How would you like Mega-Level to work? Biomerging? Warp Digivolution? or something else? We always did Biomerging in the previous RP, but Digivolution can also be achieved by many other ways, so i'm open to people each having their own means.

Digimon: After the Convergence

Thanks everyone for keeping up with the posting.

Anyway, i just gave you a glimpse at your attacker/s. So, who's going to go try and rescue Herald and who's going to be going after BlackFlamedramon?

Digimon: After the Convergence

Shinjuku

As Hinata approached and boarded the Locomon's carriage, he would see the insides looking like something for Royalty from the 19th century, leather sofa's, a large mahogany table, covered in a map of the digital world "You made every correct move. Prioritizing helping your allies, rather than hurting your enemies is an admirable trait" Herald responded. "If you're ever looking to move to the Digital World, i am sure i can get you a decent job with the Sovereigns." After only a minute, Herald stood up and walked past the Agent, to the door and opened it, the thick fog outside indicating they had already arrived in Highton, despite it feeling like they hadn't even moved an inch. "Take your leave, Locomon, when the fog clears, i don't want you in sight. I suspect this is going to get worse before it gets better." He said to the train digimon, before taking out his Digivice and turning back to Hinata, he looked down at it. "Alright, i'm picking up a group of agents over that way" He pointed towards the group "I suggest you stick close to them, things might be about to get messy and sticking together might be the best way to lure it out." At that point, BlackFlamedramon landed next to Herald.

"Hey, pi-" He stopped himself as he locked eyes with Hinata, then proceeded to bow in subservience to Herald "We've got more re-inforcements here, i count 6 agents with Digimon..." He then looked at Hinata "Make that 7"

"Excellent." Herald nodded, before looking back at the Digivice. He shook it a little, before hitting it with the palm of his hand a few times "Stupid thing... That's..." BlackFlamedramon looked at the Digivice.

"WHAT IN THE LOVE OF CRAP!?!?! THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!!!" BlackFlamedramon yelled, losing his composure. "Yo, we gotta..." He made a few nodding motions.

"If it comes to that, then yes, but i am the Herald and you are my partner. We are not going to panic and run just because this piece-" He shook it violently again "OF SHIT IS SPOUTING LIES!!!" He regained composure. "We stick to the plan. We lure him out and find out if it's really him." He then walked over to Hinata "Something big might be about to pounce at any second... If it's what this says it is... Maybe make some calls to loved one-" But before he could finish the sentance, there was a brief scream from behind them as BlackFlamedramon was dragged into the mist by some kind of net, followed by several rose-tinted Fire-Rockets blasting out of the fog and up into the air like some kind of lighthouse. Herald drew the Boken "Regroup with the others, i'm going after my partner" He ordered, before disappearing into the mist. The unmistakable clacking sound of wood hitting wood could be heard followed by Herald yelling "What the hell even are you? Because you sure as hell are-" Then more clacking.

Highton View Terrace

As the other Agents finally grouped up, they found themselves overhearing the fight that had just broken out between Herald and whatever was lurking in the mist. Next thing they knew, BlackFlamedramon was hurtled out of the mist and right through the center of their group, narrowly missing them, as a strange buzzing sound was heard.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!!" BlackFlamedramon yelled, before blasting several of his Rose-Tinted Fire-Rockets into the mist. "IT AIN'T MEGA, BUT IT'S STILL DANGEROUS!" He managed to yell to the group, before something launched out of the mist and into full view of everyone that had just arrived at the groups location. Something vaguely human looking launched along the same trajectory as BlackFlamedramon had been thrown. A mask adorning its face with a pair of horns coming out of the top of it. The Digimon wore a wooden gauntlet on each hand and was weilding a pair of Boken, looking somewhat like Heralds, but looking more rugged and less ceremonial. It's body was wrapped in various cloths, pelts and other things. The Digimon clashed with Black-Flamedramon and dragged it into the mists again. Herald ran out of the mist and into the middle of the group. Talking into his Digivice that was in front of his mask, that was slightly cracked from battle damage.

"Whatever that is, it's not Mega-Level, that's for sure." He said into the Digivice."But i will continue to engage." He then looked at the Agents around him. "Best keep it to Champion for the moment." He then got his legs tied up by some kind of sticky web-like substance, before getting dragged sharply off of his feet and into the mists in the opposite direction than BlackFlamedramon had been dragged, screaming in a rather high-pitched and undignified manner the words "PLEASE GOD, NOT LIKE THIS!" It became clear at this moment that either their attacker was 2 attackers, or 1 that could be in 2 places at once, as BlackFlamedramon was clearly fighting something in the mist, the flashes of rose light flashing, combined with his almost unintelligible expletives indicating he was firing off attacks at something, whilst the shrill, girlish screaming of Herald was clear indication that something was dragging him the opposite way.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Hammerman Digital Fog works the same here as it does in Tamers, A gust of wind ain't gonna do anything to clear the area. It's more a digital Static in the air than moisture.

Digimon: After the Convergence

So, there's a little confusion going on in everyone's post. I should point out that Siggy specifically said "Standby for Mega-Level Approval" It's not been given yet, but can be at a moments notice. But he has given the caveat of "If/when you run into a Mega-Level and can't retreat, then you probably won't be court-martialled for ignoring procedure." But right now, he's playing the Code Black as cautiously as he can as he doesn't want to drop a bunch of Mega-Levels into the middle of Tokyo unnecessarily, but at the same time, doesn't want to send in Agents without warning of the potential threat.

Also, @BladeSS4 it was BlackFlamedramon that called them jerks. Nobody else was with him.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Crimson Flame Your characters have just been given orders to go to Highton-View Terrace as the sensors say something big is potentially coming through.

Digimon: After the Convergence

Shinjuku

The last of the Digimon rampaging was Monochromon, a large, Triceratops-like Digimon, continued to tussel with the BaoHuckmon, what sounded like a steam-whistle blasted as a Locomon plowed through the streets on rails that seemed to appear bellow it with each pump of its pistons, disappearing as the last wheel of it's 1 carriage that it pulled left it. It pulled to a stop and from the side door, bunch of Commandramon filed out, all shouting "Hut" in unison with each quick-march step they took. Behind them, Herald appeared stood in his black sleeveless coat and Boken in hand, rested on his shoulder. "Commandramons, help the civilians, i'll assist BaoHuckmon" He ran forwards, getting some speed up, before jumping and landed on Monochromon's face, the Digimon's horn right behind him, he grabbed ahold of it for stability, before shoving the Boken right between its eyes. "I AM HERALD AND I SPEAK FOR THE SOVEREIGNS!!!" He bellowed. Monochromon stopped for a second, before rearing up and bucking Herald off of him, Herald landed in a heap next to BaoHuckmon. "Well, it was worth a try." He picked up his Boken and stood, ready for anything. As Monochromon fired several fireballs at the pair of them, Herald sliced through them with the Boken, before darting up to the Digimon and sliding underneath it, slashing at its soft underbelly with the sword, getting out the other side and turning around as it collapsed to the ground and faded into data. Herald pointed the Boken out which absorbed the Data into itself. "I'll make sure Monochromon reconstitutes on the other side." He said to BaoHuckmon.

ATLAS Headquarters

As the blips on the Tokyo map started to go out, Siggy began to breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily it had only been Champion-levels and a handful of Rookies. "Any more targets emerging?" He called to the agents working the Cartography.

"Negative sir. Threats neutralized." One replied. Siggy sat down in his chair and rubbed his forehead.

"Excellent, perform a standard search and sweep for any that might have bonded and send the all-" But before he could finish his sentence, the Cartography map seemed to explode in warning signs as an Alert symbol appeared, then another and another, more and more spreading across the cartography map, almost seeming to block it out.

"Sir, it says we have a Code-Black Digital Bio-Emergence... Sir, that could onl-"

"I know what it could only mean." Siggy said, standing up, retaining his composure.

"LOCATION!?!?!?" Lucas roared. The Agent tapped away again.

"Highton-View Terrace" the agent responded. Siggy looked over at Lucas who was already messing with his Digivice, going for Mega-Level

"Lucas, stand down!" He ordered.

"No, you step up!" He replied. "Whatever is coming through is-"

"Anything" Siggy cut him off. "We've had false alarms before and we will treat this as no different."

"NEVER a code black, though."

"What about when Kokuwamon came through and joined with Agent Bakuto, we got a Code Black on him." Siggy retorted.

"And i STILL say we should have wiped him and sent Kokuwamon back." He finally pressed the button and Elecmon disappeared into a blinding light along with Lucas.

"ELECMON BIOMERGE TO BANCHOLEOMON!" A voice called. As BanchoLeomon emerged, he took a few steps towards the door, but was blocked by NeonGuilmon.

"BanchoLeomon stand down." NeonGuilmon ordered.

"If me and Cartography are correct, we need to get every available Mega-Level there NOW!!!"

"At least let's confirm it." NeonGuilmon replied. "Come on, big guy, we wrote the book on this for a DAMN good reason." The small Digimon nodded to Siggy, who immediately pulled out his Digivice and pressed his Executive Broadcast button. As he did so, every Digivice of every ATLAS Agent in Tokyo would instantly relay his words.

"Attention all ATLAS personel, be advised we have a potential situation. I need all available units to converge on Highton View Terrace and get me eyes on a Bio-Emerging target." He paused for a second, picking his next words very carefully. "And standby for Mega-Level authorization. Keep to Champion or Rookie for the moment and get me eyes on target. If Mega-Level spotted, radio your position and wait for back-up. Do not try to be a hero and engage by yourself. If Mega-Level engages you... Do whatever you deem necessary to protect yourself and others around you." He then sat down "Cartography, all eyes on Highton View Terrace."

Roppongi

As Guardromon and DinoHyumon began to clash in the middle of the street, a severe breakdown of communication that was going unnoticed by Cartography due to the Code Black, both Agents would get Siggy's message at the same time, neither able to overhear it from the other due to it coming through their standard-issue ear-pieces that they put on as they entered the fog and being one of the only devices unaffected by it. As they tried to bluff around each other, a 3rd combattant would enter the picture. as streaking through the sky towards the ground was BlackFlamedramonsmashing into the ground between the two and a burst of Rosie-red fire forming a shield around him, deflecting the pairs incoming attacks away long enough for him to stand up. Both of the Digimon would recognize BlackFlamedramon as Herald's partner, due to Herald, much to the chagrin of most of the Directors, making it a point to introduce himself to each and every new agent. "Hey, jerks, if you could stop fighting each other for a second, you might actually realize you're on the same side." He pointed over to their partners currently trying to convince the other to leave. "Now, i ain't gonna tell nobody nothin' about what happened here, but only on the proviso that you quit-it. We got a situation in Highton View Terrace. Now grab your partners and follow me." His voice was deep and authoritative, but with a brutish twang to every word. A creature clearly used to having power and using it to achieve its goals. He would start jumping via rooftops towards Highton View Terrace, moving quickly, but making sure that the Champions could keep up if they chose to follow him.

Highton-View Terrace

As Airdramon's matter seemed to explode across the skies, the fog didn't seem to lift as it usually would. A malevolent aura seemed to drop across the entire district. Every mobile phone, computer, television screen showed static rhythmically pumping. Before finally, just going back to general static. As Daichi and Dozer were just getting ready to call for the clean-up crew and head back to base is when they would get Director Siggy's alert. The air went cold and something appeared just outside of Daichi's vision, something that, at first glance might have been mistaken for another civilian. All the way up until a spear flew past his face at what seemed like super-sonic speeds, only to appear to be on some kind of string and be pulled back into the fog and the figure set off at a run, quickly being consumed by the digital mists.

Shinjuku

As The Commandramon army was getting people freed from the damage of Monochromon's rampage and Flashing them with their memory-erasers, that was when Herald pulled out his digivice and got Siggy's message play through it. "Well, you heard the man" He called to Hinata. "I'll give you a ride." He said, jogging over to Locomon's carriage. "All aboard!" He called to the agent "The Commandramons will handle it. Things are about to get interesting over in Highton"

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Duthguy You gonna respond to @BladeSS4 attacking your character by accident, or does everyone just want me to move this along?

Digimon: After the Convergence

Sorry about being a little absent these last few days. Been super busy with work.

@Martian Yes, It's about 9am-ish.

@Charlie Foxtrot Feel free to throw up a Character sheet, people are accepted on a case-by-case basis.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Martian


Well, to be honest, our last group used the Season 2 Digivices, but I'm happy with saying that in the intervening time, we've updated to the Data Squad Digivices.

@Double they are supposed to go down easily for the moment, because... Well, it's a good way to introduce everyone their characters, but once everyone has made their opening posts, everyone will find out why they went down so easily.

That being said, if people need new targets, I cam throw some more in.
