"DeadlyAxemon, hold back." A voice shouted seconds before a small black knight was shoved into a building by a green humanoid in insect themed armor with a glowing sword coming out of one gauntleted wrist. The knight, a stocky figure roughly the size of an adult human with a lance on each arm, let out a pained grunt, "Your attacks will just cause too much collateral damage here. Leave Stingmon to me, go for the swarm."

A sentient mass of bladed weapons growled but leaped back into a portal, a transport between worlds that the knight and insect had come through moments prior.

SkullKnightmon dusted himself off and leaped through the air onto an adjacent rooftop, barely missing Stingmon, "Heh... So much for keeping a low profile, eh?" He asked, "I don't suppose you'd mind landing so we can have a fair fight?" There was no answer, "Thought so. OK. Wish I kept my brother here right about now. Can't go into Arrow Mode without him." The bulky knight shrugged off his cape and assumed a fighting stance, "Spear Needle!"

[color="#00FF00"]Another battle already? That made three today; the other two had been the result of Chiromon's own actions, however. The first of the battles had been out of annoyance, he tended to sleep most of the day, and being awoken by some stupid little Tsukaimon wasn't really something Chiromon had been in the mood for. The poor thing wasn't even strong enough to torture before killing; it just didn't have the strength to take a beating.

The second battle was out of boredom; with the death of the Tsukaimon was still fresh on Chiromon's mind, and he was bored and irate from not being able to return to sleep. It wasn't really necessary to fight again, but he needed [i]something[/i] interesting to happen since he couldn't sleep, so he decided to harass some poor little thing. He couldn't even recall what type of digimon it was; something that was often found in groups, or at least he thought it was.

And then there was this battle. Stingmon and SkullKnightmon? There was DeadlyAxemon too for a bit, though Chiromon truly didn't care. The emerald warrior with lances for hands could handle himself... Or not. Chiromon wasn't really concerned over which side won; he wouldn't be getting any data himself. Silently observing from a tree branch, he sighed. His pale torso was covered by his membranous wings, and he hung upside down, black feathers visible. His head was as well, the near-glowing eyes scanning over the current battleground.[/color]

[color="#0000FF"]The zephyrs were soothing; they seemed to be the only thing that was soothing today. It wasn't that he got off the wrong side of the bed, rather his bed had been secretly situated somewhere on the wrong side of the planet. Nothing had been going well today, and he decided he'd take a walk to at least try and take a break from misfortune. While walking, he heard some din unlike noises he had heard before. He figured there was no point in [i]not[/i] figuring out what it was with everything else today not being remotely interesting. He continued down the street until a small piece of debris, concrete, rolled and hit his shoe. He was looking down when he walked to the point in which he had barely even noticed that the source of the noise wasn't construction or gang warfare. No, it was... A bug and suit of armor?

It certainly looked that way. Well, not that simple; there was a tall, humanoid being that appeared to be a man in some sort of insect themed armor fighting a suit of what, based on its form, could only be a sentient suit of armor. Whether or not it was possible wasn't really to ponder at the moment; it was there, and the battle was going to take down all the buildings on this street if something wasn't done. Of course, what would be done was completely unknown to him; he couldn't do anything, and, until more people saw what was happening, no sort of law enforcement would. Instead, he simply stepped back a bit and watched; he'd be able to run in the event the fighting came too close, or at least he hoped he would. While watching, he noticed another person on the opposite corner watching the battle as well. He only looked to the person before looking back up when the dust from the fighting picked up and blew past him, his white clothing becoming a strange, speckled tan, color.

[b]"Not a day to wear white, huh?"[/b][/color]

((Sorry, I only have one human, as Chiromon is, well, Chiromon.))

[Hydra of Ages]

[color="#A0522D"]Haruman glanced at the bill in his hand. A fair amount of yen- more than you would use to buy a loaf of bread, at any rate. Were they expecting him to take some for himself, or something, he wondered?
Though it hardly mattered. The loaf in his bag hadn't cost a thing, anyway; filching food was ridiculously easy, especially from a formerly starving orphan. Barely worth his time, anyway. He considered what to do with the yen he'd saved; not quite enough for packet of cigarettes, and most smaller things he could just steal...

He shrugged a bit, and shook his head wearily. It was so... so boring. Why didn't he have anything better to do than fetch bread for the people he was going to live with for only two years at most? Did he really have nothing better to do with his life? School sucked, and he couldn't really do anything about that, but honestly.

He shook his head and paused when his ears picked up a slight noise. [i]'That's odd...'[/i] he thought to himself, hearing a loud crunching sound. He moved down a short west street, down to one of the more deserted areas of the city. He heard loud scuffles, oddly metallic at times but also destructive. [i]'a gang fight?[/i] he thought. [i]'Using explosives? That's...'[/i]

He trailed off when he turned the corner and saw possibly the last thing he expected to. A man-sized insectoid being, green with long wings, was on the ground staring up at some tall knight-like figure covered in armor. "...Unbelievable..." he muttered softly. [/color]

[color="#008000"]"Well, that was easy..." Renne muttered allowed, the canvas tucked beneath her arm. She glanced around briefly at the rooftop she was on. "I only wish I could have been on the ground for it..." she added. "And didn't have to carry this with me in the open."
She sighed as she backed up, then ran across the gravel roof, leaping from the lip and rolling onto the next roof. She got up carefully, and pulled back as she prepared to get to the next one- it was simple enough, moving across roofs. She just had to make sure that she wasn't seen, which was easy enough to do.

She took a few steps backward once more, fixed her grip on the canvas, and-
OH CRAP. She stumbled backward as a heavily armored creature leaped onto the roof she was about to climb on, pointing its two weapons at the enemy below. Her eyes as big as saucers, she backed away slowly. [/color]

[color="#FF0000"]Wyra had found a thief.

It was exciting; she'd never actually seen a thief before, let alone a Phantom Thief. But there it was; a girl in tight-fitting black clothing holding that stolen piece of art from the Museum. She'd followed the best she could on food, but unfortunately she'd lost the girl at some point.

She sighed a bit. It would have been nice to be the one to catch a Phantom Thief. She could be like Sherlock Holmes, finding all sorts of stolen things. But now that she'd lost her...

Ah, nevermind. She grinned and cheered herself up. She'd find the girl again; there weren't too many places in the city where she could have gotten to. She turned a street corner and paused when she saw an unfamilar figure up ahead; strangely enough, it looked green. 'Could it be... a [b]superhero[/b]?' she thought to herself, grinning broadly. [/color]

[Nexev]

[color="#A0522D"]It was cold.

It's always cold, Mary thought as the wind swirled around him. Then again, who was he to say if it was really cold? He was only a person, and people have been wrong about many, many, things.

This however, was pretty damn wrong.

Why is a bug solider thingey fighting a armored knight thingey?

Though then again, why WOULDN'T a knight fight a giant bug?

Life has been completly turned around before.

But this is interesting. That's worth more in life then anything else Mary can think of.

Mary sat down at a nearby bench observing one of the many things in life beyond his grasp.[/color]

[The Warden]

Hiro was constantly checking his watch. He had missed a bus and was then consigned to walk to the school. 'Just my luck on the first day' he groaned as his briefcase spilt opened and scattered his belongings. He groaned again as he scrabbled about to retrieve his belongings; annoyingly, one of his god luck charms had rolled away. He scrabbled after it when an explosion caught his attention. 'What on earth?' he said aloud, finally seeing a black knight fighting off some kind of green insect thing. He was entranced by this display, but still looked around for movie cameras.

[Blackstone Dresden]

((Merry Christmas and all that))

"Come on, Stingmon." SkullKnightmon said, bouncing off the opposing insect and stabbing into the wall of an office building for support, scaring the living Hell out of the poor underpaid office worker inside, "You can't be having any fun standing down there scaring the life out of these humans." He chuckled, "Humans, that, instead of getting the Hell outta dodge like any sane person, are standing around, watching." He turned his attention off Stingmon and addressed the small crowd on the street, "Yggdrasil, the God of my people, left me a message. He told me to take the last of my species' eggs and bring them to Earth in the hope we'll find new champions." He launched one final Spear Needle at Stingmon, who had taken the opportunity to flit up behind him, and revealed two glowing orbs in his hands. "By the power granted unto me as the last Royal Knight of Yggdrasil, I, SkullKnightmon, break the enchantment placed on these DigiEggs." He announced, causing the mass of eggs in his hands to expand exponentially "Find your other halves." He whispered, breaking the seal and releasing the eggs, sending one or two down to each person, including a few sent to humans elsewhere on the globe. "Stingmon, you're outnumbered now. It's only a matter of time before my br---" As if on cue, DeadlyAxemon was thrown through the portal, slammed hard into the sidewalk, and devolved into a purple and gold furry mammal and a swarm of Rookie level insects, with a few Champions thrown in for good measure, apparently newly Digivolved from the fight with DeadlyAxemon, raced through the portal after him.

[color=blue]James was listening to his music when he noticed the fight, a stocky black knight with a skull on his chest getting his ass handed to him by a green armored insect... man... thing [i]What in the Hell is that...?[/I] He thought, switching the song he was listening to to [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzHe4U5c5Oc"]something more appropriate for a fight.[/url]. The strange black armored man's speech was all but drowned out by the music, but James heard enough to make him pop one earbud out, just as he released the orbs in his hands, DigiEggs, he called him, and one, a white one with a silver back and blue splotches, including a sword mark on the side, floated into his lap. "Uh... What?" He asked, picking up the egg, which shattered into bits of light at his touch and grew into a small fluffy hedgehog looking thing with blue armor and a sword. "O...kay... then... this is... new?" He said, struggling to find a way to complete that sentence "Uh... hi."[/color]

[Nexev]

[color="#A0522D"]"Why do the interesting ones always die?" Mary muttered as he saw the deadish looking monster thing. He then noticed the devie that materialized in his hand. A silver gem studded watch key chain thingey. "Eh... kinda tacky but whatever, thanks anyway God." He said to the sky. Sure this was sortof odd but, everything is odd.

Then two eggs appered and hatched. A small lego dinosaur thing and a green punk rocker thig emerged.

Mary gave them a bow, no reason to be impoliite after all. "Happy birthday, my name is Mary, what's yours?"[/color]

[color="#8B0000"]The dino looked at his Punk partner, then at his new master.

"Wait... I thought we were going to a prince? Man this sucks."[/color]

[color="#FF8C00"]The punk digimon simply shook his head. "Dude, that IS the prince. I'm right, aren't I?" He asked Mary, who nodded.

"Well we are supposed to be your allies and stuff. I'm Heir and that's Prince. We are royalty in our own place so you better treat us nicely."[/color]

[color="#8B0000"]Prince was far too horrified to remenber the next few minutes. All he knew was there was a scream of pure terror.

He did not realize it was infact his own scream.[/color]

[Ŋ℮cԵaԻ¡Ֆდ]

[color="#8B0000"]Blake was a bit confused as he rounded the corner, only to see a swarm of... Creatures, and an armored insect knight facing off against some sort of suit of armor? Well, Blake had seen stranger, quite honestly. He looked at the glowing eggs, or whatever the knight thing had said earlier, and reached out towards one that seemed to shine with a soft red light. He could feel the warmth emanating from the egg, and before he could even tough it it burst into flames, the burning shards of egg transforming into glistening shards of light before disappearing.[/color]

[color="#FF0000"]"Nyah!"[/color]
[color="#8B0000"]
Blake stepped back a bit, dumbfounded. What in the world was [i]that[/i]? There, in his hands, or slightly above them, since it was floating, was a little ball-shaped creature with spikes around it. It was shaped like a small sun, and a single flame was on its head. He figured it was supposed to be that way from the cheery expression on the little things face, and he smiled after a recovering from the initial sense of surprise.

[b]"Aww! You're a cute little... Fella? Gal? Uhm... What are you? Well, I'mma call you Ray for right now, since you are shaped like a sun, and... Well, you know. Or... You don't know? Nevermind, Ray, I don't want to be rambling..."[/b]

He noticed the swarm of monsters and sighed.

[b]"Oh boy..."[/b][/color]

[color="#0000FF"]David was startled when the armored being began to speak. It stated something about the glowing egg-shaped things around him and the other spectators. DigiEggs? He was going to ask a question, but when another creature, made entirely of blades it seemed, crashed into the sidewalk and split into a swarm of strange creatures, he just grabbed an egg without thought and held it closely to him. It cracked and he gasped; had he broken it? He was confused when the egg began to break apart and seemingly vanish with a slight shine before its disappearance, but the creature inside seemed fine.
[/color]
[color="#800080"]
[b]Hey! Leave me alone! What are you doing, trying to squish me?[/b]
[/color]
[color="#0000FF"]
David stepped back. It was... A bird? Where there birds in all of these eggs? And why would space birds determine the fate of the world? Why was there a fight; was the space bird industry in ruins and aliens were fighting for the last space birds? No, that would be ridiculous, though... These things coming from nowhere already was pretty ridiculous.

[b]"You're... You look like a bird."[/b]

David realized how stupid the statement sounded [i]after[/i] he said it.


[/color]


[color="#00FF00"]Chiromon's eyes widened a bit, pupils becoming slits as he noticed all the kids below. Well, mostly kids, it seemed; none of them appeared to be old, though there were some distinguishable differences in age among the group that was being given eggs. He noticed some were sent out of the local area, and he considered opening a wing; he should probably have stopped them, or at least tried to, but he had no business in this area anyways, whatever happened wouldn't be his fault, as Lucemon hadn't told him to do anything... Yet. Chiromon remained still and watched, wondering what would happen to the humans that had gotten the DigiEggs.[/color]

[Hydra of Ages]

[color="#A0522D"]Haruman stared at the eggs that were floating in front of him. He paused for a moment, then fished in his pocket for the remnants of a sandwich he'd eaten earlier. He sniffed it experimentally.

"...Did the chick at Subway put something in my sub again? Because horus, THIS is a weird trip..." he muttered a little under his breath, before looking at the giant eggs in front of him. The first was shining a light green, and seemed to be made of jade or some other precious material. The other was plainly golden, but it seemed far too bright to be anything he'd seen before. Out-dimensional cosmic horrors, or bad CGI effects?

Haruman didn't have time to decide as they exploded into an even brighter nova of light, revealing two figures from the inside. From the golden egg came an equally golden insect; the largest beetle he'd ever seen, almost two feet high, with a glittering carapace. What seemed to be a gigantic ruby made up its lower body, and extended to above its head, giving it a helmet of precious stone. It flicked the sides of its shell apart as wings, revealing a flash of fire and a bright shimmer of light.

The other stone didn't reveal much better; what appeared to emerge from it could be considered a young girl if you were generous. Its face had the tone and curves of a young female, but the insect mandibles from either side of its face negated that sort of comparison. Its eyes were very large, and seemed to lack an iris, instead having a very large pupil.
It wore a very strange tunic that seemed to also be part of its body; a glittering green dress with long plates of jade on its back, extending downward almost like coattails. Its sleeves hung down slightly around its wrists, becoming dagger-like in shape and length as they pass its hands. The two plates on its back flickered a little, glimmering in the light; closer inspection revealed about six pairs of wings, incredibly thin and translucent, flickering out in the air.

"...Hell are you?" he muttered, taking a step back. The insect-girl frowned a bit and crossed her arms. [/color]
[color="#FF8C00"] "Oh dear..." she muttered. She glanced down at the golden bug at her feet. "I kinda assumed our partner would be a little... you know, older... more, uh, mature..." she added.

The beetle seemed to blink his eyes. "But Locustmon that's not what you said before;" he protested. "You said you wanted our tamer to be strong, kind, and attra-"

"-Yah, well mature's what I meant by that," Locustmon interrupted, her cheeks maybe slightly darker. "Avoid quoting me when possible, Scarabmon."[/color]

-

[color="#FF0000"]"God? Eggs? [b]Royal knight[/b]?" Wyra echoed quickly, grinning broadly. She gasped out in surprise when a portal opened, throwing another strange being from it to the ground and a bunch of new creatures that seemed similar to the insect.

"Oh no! It's the Evil Mooks! They're usually fatal to the Obi-Wan if the newly-crowned heroes don't take up the mantle quickly enough!" she exclaimed, unblinking as a glittering white sphere appeared before her. Her eyes sparkled in the light.

"A MacGuffin!" She squealed in delight. "I've -always- wanted one of my own! Ooh, now I need an activation keyphrase... uhm... uhm... Oh! Mystic Egg of Magic, Help me Fight the Evil that... uhm... casts Darkness on the Land! Forge a Contract with me, Wyra Miriya, and Release!" she proclaimed, as the sphere seemed to explode before her. She grinned as a strange device appeared in one of her open hands. "Neat! it worked!" she rejoiced.

A figure appeared in the light; reptilian with brilliant white scales, it resembled a raptor-creature with feathered ears and tail. Its eyes were bright and it smiled upon seeing her.[/color] [color="#DDA0DD"]"My tamer! I've always wanted to-" she started before being cut off by a black haired girl running up and grabbing her paw.
"You! Let's save Obi Wan! He's in trouble!" she declared, pointing at the insect and the knight. "let's combine our powers and fight- err, what was your name?"
"...w-what? Uhm, WhiteGuilmon-"
"WhiteGuilmon! C'mon, let's go be heroes!" she cheerfully cried running out to the battlefield, followed by a wide-eyed Guilmon meekly protesting. [/color]

-

R[color="#008000"]enne scooted back a bit as her vision was tainted purple by a large violet sphere. She didn't know why, but something about the apparent egg exuded power that she wasn't sure that she wanted. "What is... going on..." she muttered, glancing a little at the big of art she'd managed to steal. She was beginning to wonder if it was actually worth it at all.

The sphere exploded with the force of a small grenade, blasting her back a little bit onto her back. She grunted a bit, grateful she was wearing her suit and resisted getting any sort of cuts along her body from the explosion. She shivered a little from the residual energy in the area- it felt even worse now, cloying, suffocating. She wanted to crawl in a ball and just-
[/color][color="#4B0082"]
"You okay?" she heard an oddly high pitched voice say. She looked up into a fuzzy purple face, giving her an odd look, bright green eyes shining disapprovingly. "Seriously? This little bit of black magic, and you're reduced to a quivering ball?" it shrugged it's wings -which she just noticed, oddly- and sighed, inhaling quickly. The dark presence quickly dissipated and absorbed into its body. It shook a little, a bit like a dog, and smiled wryly.

"Better, partner?" it asked, with a hint of sarcasm in its voice. [/color]
[color="#008000"]"Uh... yeah..." she muttered quietly, sitting up. She poked at one of his wings, then grabbed the edge of one, pulling it up and down, to his obvious annoyance.[/color]
[color="#4B0082"]"Would you stop that?" he snapped, grabbing his wing back. "Okay, first rule if we're going to be partners: Don't touch me unless I tell you to."[/color]

[Blackstone Dresden]

"Brother, get up!" SkullKnightmon shouted, as he was surrounded on all sides by a HoneyBeemon, FanBeemon, FlyBeemon, Flymon, and Stingmon, "I could really use some help right now." He called to the unconscious Elecmon, feral even in his resting state, "I'm halfway from getting my medieval ass handed to me." He blocked Flymon's sting with his lances, though his weapons' mass, though useful as a shield and one-on-one, proved to be detrimental against a large group. He was simply burning off too much energy defending himself to even think about using more energy to attack, lest he make his inevitable misstep even sooner. "WhiteGuilmon!" He shouted, pushing back his enemies with a Breast-Eye Wink* attack. "Your partner seems to have some idea what's going on here, so you're drafted." He leaped off the building he was on, slowing his descent by stabbing his lance into the wall and carving a long gash in the unfortunate office building that damn well better have some decent insurance coverage, "But, listen up, Miss." He said to Wyra, "I am NOT the Obi-Wan. I've studied Earth's pop culture, that guy dies in the first... or fourth, depending on your point of view... movie. I fully intend to stick around." A strong wind blew the dark knight's cape off the roof of the office building, in one smooth motion, he tossed his lances straight into the air, caught the cape, and fastened it onto his shoulders, "The name's SkullKnightmon. The feral furball there is my brother-in-arms Elecmon. We're Digimon, everyone that hatched from the eggs are Digimon, and the swarm is made of Digimon. Every insect, sans those two," He pointed out Locustmon and Scarabmon, " is a member of the army of one of the Demon Lords. Any questions?"

[color=blue]"Uh... OK... so... this happened..." James said as his non-copyrighted music player turned into a strange hunk of plastic and metal, with a snow white strap attached to a silver octagon with a blue ring around a screen and a silver rounded triangle at the base of the octagon with three buttons, "So... Who are you?"[/color]

[color=silver]"Espadamon." The strange blue armored white hedgehog said, his voice quiet, like the rumble of a lion.[/color]

[color=blue]"Wow, man of few words huh?" James asked, flipping through the songs on his new Digivice, a word that just popped into his head when he looked at the thing. "OK... well, defend me from the oncoming swarm." He suggested, deciding that it was best to listen to the black knight that gives you an alien beast.[/color]

[color=silver]" As you wish, Master." Espadamon said, dashing into battle like a certain other blue hedgehog.[/color]

((*Worst. Attack. Name. EVER)

[Nexev]

[color="#A0522D"]Mary, who overheard the convorsation raised his hand. "Excuse me? Do guns work on them? Just so I can be prepared later." Mary paused for a moment. "Oh and how do you get such slick threads? Do you evolve like pokemon or do you have a good tailor. Or would it be a blacksmith?"[/color]

[color="#FF8C00"]"Don't worry, we get stronger and such from betting up people. So we like digivolve and stuff." Heir explained to Mary, he then paused. "On second thought, maybe you should explain Skull guy, I'm not that good at this.[/color]

[Blackstone Dresden]

"Usually, it works just like Goblimon said." SkullKnightmon told him. "We fight enough and grow strong enough and we change form, get a new name, new attacks, new everything. However, in light of our recent... loss... we're using you humans as batteries, converting an emotional connection with you into energy for them." On 'you' and 'them' he gestured at the humans and Digimon nearby, respectively, "It's a completely harmless process, I swear, it just takes some bonding between you three. That's why, for now, you should either focus on hit-and-run guerrilla warfare or ganging up on one or two of the smaller bugs." He grunted and lashed one of his lances through the air, snapping Flymon's stinger in half, "However," He looked back at Wyra, "If pop culture serves as any sort of guide, one of you is going to have an immediate connection with your partner and'll probably Digivolve right away." He sighed as he saw the Champion insects charging down towards him, "And any of your other questions can wait until after our lives are out of danger. But no, guns don't work. No one really knows why that is, probably because there hasn't been a Digimon in this world for centuries, so no one's really done much research."

[color=blue]James, seeing Espadamon subtly change his fighting style to the beat of the song he was playing, looked through his Digivice and [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvquWIULIFA"]selected a song[/url] that he thought would fit the hedgehog's fighting style best, testing out the waters, as it were. [i]Damn, puffball kicks ass.[/i][/color]

[The Warden]

The eggs crashed down by Hiro, embedding in the ground and taking out his opened suitcase. They cracked and released two large lizards in professor regalia. 'Agumon Hakase' the orange one shouted, he had a kind look and seemed to belie great wisdom. The other was black/purple, who seemed sketchy just from looking at him. 'NiseAgumon Hakase' he shouted as well. The two of them took one look at each other and thye began to fight with their pointers. Due to their shortness, Hiro bent down and grabbed them both seperating them. He dropped them both on the ground after they stopped wriggling, as he noticed the device the other kids had gotten. He dusted it slightly, looking into it, then to his partners.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

As this fight was going on, a film student form a local community college, set on making a documentary about a very interesting flock of local pigeons, managed to catch the battle in all of its glory. He quickly uploaded the video onto YouTube, which caused it to spread across the globe in hours. DarkKnightmon's warning was heard by the common people and governments alike. Pressured by several powerful members of the G8, YouTube tried to remove the video, but it had now developed into a meme, and went viral. Every time YouTube or another video-sharing site removed the video, two more took its place. Nothing could stop this video from being seen.
In Asheville, North Carolina, a young college student watched the action on his laptop for the billionth time, then sent it off again to keep the viral internet meme alive. Interestingly, one of the random addresses he sent the video to was the Corporal of a Special Forces Battalion CO in Fort Bragg, on the opposite side of the state, who watched it as well.
Little did the Student and the Commander know that they would play a part in the resistance against the Demon Lords.

[Hydra of Ages]

[color="#FF0000"]"WhiteGuilmon!" Wyra cried, her eyes burning with fire. WhiteGuilmon blinked a little at her partner, wondering what new shoot of insanity was coming next. "Y-yes, tamer?" she asked quietly, as the short girl pushed her digivice up to the dragon's snout. "To fight against the evil Mooks, we need to unlock a new level of power!" she said quickly. "But to do that, we need to have a special connection! You know what that means, right? We need to have solidarity in our quest to defeat the evil forces of, uhm, evil!"

the dragon blinked at her for a little while. "But... you don't even know who we're fighting against..."

"That doesn't matter!" Wyra snapped back. "The heroes NEVER know what they're really up against until the midseason plot twist, and sometimes not even then! What's important now is that both of us have to come to some startling realization about how we can better ourselves, and through the magic of character development, we'll gain the power to defeat the baddies!"

"But... but..." WhiteGuilmon started, then shook her head. "I was brought here to follow your lead, tamer. If you think this will help us, then I'm with you the entire way through... no matter how nonsensical is sounds..." she muttered.

Wyra giggled and fingered the white lock of her hair happily with her free hand. "Why thank you WhiteGuilmon! No need to be so servile though; if television's taught me anything, it's that we're stronger when we fight in a team rather than alone! Let's take them on together, alright?" she yelled, pumping her fist up in elation. Held aloft, the white device clenched in her fist started giving off a bright light.

She glanced up and made a happy sound, while jumping. "We did it! We established the partner dynamic! Now literally nothing can beat us! WhiteGuilmon; I, Wyra Miriya, command you through our contract- take my power and reveal your true form! Release!" she commanded, while making a complex serious of motions with her hands. She felt something well up in the depths of her body; a strange sort of energy.

[i]'So... they feed off our emotions then?'[/i] she thought to herself, before grinning. [i]'Fortunately... I have plenty to spare.'[/i][/color][color="#DDA0DD"]

WhiteGuilmon felt the energy envelope her in a bright light. It tingled at the edges of her data, tearing it apart, replacing it, changing it, switching it- it was a euphoric light that felt strangely comforting. It felt, in an odd sort of way, like Yggdrasil- a benevolent force that was capable of working within her energy.

The larger sphere of light exploded outward in a bright shine, revealing a long white dragon. Serpentine, with a mane of shaggy white feather-like locks emerging from the back of the mask concealing the small snakelike head, it dwarfed everything else living in the area just by its sheer size. Feathers poked from out from its four legs, staggered so it could stand up in place and hooked like the talons of a great dragon, matched by its long feathered tail.

[b]"QuetzalRyumon."[/b] she hissed out briefly, before flicking a blue eye around, looking for her tamer. Responding to a bit of pressure by her head, she glanced up to see Wyra sitting atop her skull, two antenna-like feathers in her grasp like reigns. "C'mon! With your new power, let's smite some evil!" she declared. QuetzalRyumon nodded and leaped into the air, the winds bending around her and allowing her flight even without wind.

"Sacred Ray..." she declared, energy appearing in her maw and extending in a burst of yellow light towards the enemy digimon, particularly at Stingmon, the most prominent of the group.

Hiro observed the small dragon transform in a brilliant light show. He was aback at the sheer size of his new ally. Hiro has heard about using emotions, but it seemed kind of corny really. [color="#FF8C00"]'Ummm, sir, shouldn't we get into the battle?'[/color] Hakase inquired. [color="#9932CC"]'Yeah, I wouldn't even mind working alongside doofus here if it means I get some action'[/color] Nisa cut in. Hiro looked at the insect swarm, but spotted the strange creature that was kncked down earlier. 'Go for it' he said to his two partners and ran off to Elecmon. He tried to feel for a pulse, but the little guy seemed out of it. This was a moment where Hiro remembered back to his two day training in first aid. The instructor had said that to revive unconcious people, they needed two breaths and then thirty beats and to keep repeating that. Hiro looked at the mouth of Elecmon and sighed. With a deep breath and some courage, he locked lips with it and blew into it's mouth twice before proceeding to pounding its cheast thirty time.

Hakase and Nise observed this spectacle from afar. [color="#9932CC"]'Dude gross'[/color] Nise said, he may have paled, but it's hard to tell.

[Blackstone Dresden]

((OK, aside from the obvious impossibilities of seeing someone sitting on your skull, just how BIG is QuetzalRyumon if her human's riding her head? Keep in mind that we're in a city setting, too.))

Stingmon saw the oncoming blast and threw a nearby Kuwagamon in front of himself, stabbing the insect the gut and neck, pinning him before throwing the soon-to-be-dead Digimon through the air, where it disintegrated right in front of a FanBeemon, who loaded the deceased's data to push itself just beyond the evolutionary threshold and grow into Waspmon, "Your pathetic Earth insects. The attack en masse, yes, but if you kill one, all the others are just as strong, just as easily squashed. Insect Digimon, however, are a different matter. If you kill one of us, a stronger one pops up. Such as my new soldier, Waspmon. Waspmon, destroy th---" Stingmon's death order was interrupted by a familiar red lance driving through his chest and twisting.

"Don't EVER compare your thugs to real soldiers." SkullKnightmon growled as Stingmon started dissolving, "Take that to heart in your next life." He said, ripping out the lance through where the ribcage would be on a similarly sized human, "And be thankful that our God has granted you as much, after you scum committed the ultimate blaspheme."

One of the expelled breaths that Hiro loosed into Elecmon was met by a snarl that just seemed to exist. There was no scent in it, or taste, or anything except sound and moving air. An instant later, claws started slashing at the well intentioned human, the attack of a cornered predator, aiming to disable and maim, with death a mere afterthought.

[color="#A0522D"]Mary shrugged. "So I give him superpowers? I would have preferred a more useful role but why not?" Mary turned to Heir. "Sooooo.... brofist?"[/color]

[color="#FF8C00"]In a flash of light power surged throughout heirs body as he digivolved, growing larger and more feral. In a second the transfomration was complete and Ogremon stood tall. "Sweet.... I'm gonna go kill something now kay?" Ogremon hefted his large bone club and tossed it like a javelin at some of the airborne eneimes. He ran to retrive the club since it was his only weapon. "Just my luck to fight enemies who fly." [/color]

[color="#A0522D"]Mary looked at Prince, who was still frozen in horror. "Are you okay?" Mary asked, concern on his face. What if he just stays there for the rest of his life. "Look, can you please stop being so horrified? I promise to try to not freak you out so much." Still no response. Iriitated, Mary whacked Prince lightly with a stick, sending Prince back to reality.[/color]

[color="#8B0000"]"What just happened? OH! Your my tamer, right." Prince sighed. "Fine but we are completly doomed."[/color]

[The Warden]

Hiro was caught by the slashing claws and he fought to throw the creature off him. He managed to grba one of it arms and hurled Elecmon away. 'Well, that worked' he panted slowly. Hakase helped him up, but Nise merely scowled at that. [color="#FFA500"]'Are you okay?'[/color] Hakase inquired calmly. Hiro nodded, his shock subsiding. 'Yeah, I'm fine. A little cut up, but fine' he replied. Hakase little taped his rod in his claw. [color="#FFA500"]'I think we are due in battle now'[/color] Hakase offered. Hiro nodded, drawing the digivice. He fiddled with it slightly. 'I don't know how it works' he said in dismay. Nise responded by hitting him in the head with his rod. [color="#9932CC"]'Useless'[/color] Nise scowled. Hiro grabbed the digivice and gripped it hard, his teeth were grit in concentration. Both of the dinosaurs seemed to respond to the enegry pouring into it, covering them with it. 'Agumon Hakase, digivolve to'. 'NiseAgumon Hakase, digivole to' they both cried, shattering their captive spheres and releasing two large dinosaur digimon. 'GeoGreymon' Hakase cried. 'BlackGreymon X' Nise added. They both charged in, their motuhs burning. 'Mega Flame' they both cried, unleashign waves of orange and green fire into the insect swarm.

[color="#FFA500"]"Oh, look. He killed Stingmon," Locustmon noted. "Probably a good thing, given the rest of them should lack co-ordination now. Insects without co-ordination are pretty easily taken out."
Scarabmon blinked a bit, though you had to look closely. He turned and looked up at his sister. "But, Locustmon, aren't we insects as well? What if we don't have co-ordination?" he asked with wide eyes. Locustmon shook her head, and patted his. "Yes, except we're perfectly in tune. Which is why we're so strong," she corrected. She turned to look at Haruman, who was staring blankly as the gigantic dragon circled around and tried to fit into the loose back allies.
"Got that?" she asked him, tapping a foot. "We work best as a team. So you should probably remember that, being our tamer and all..."[/color]
[color="#A0522D"]"W-what? Oh, uhm, yeah..." he muttered, looking down at his sandwich. Most of the inside had fallen out during his gawking. "I'll certainly remember your teamwork with Gigantic Beetle, Creepy Bug Girl..." he said under his breath.
Locustmon twitched a little. "I could hear that perfectly well, you know. This is a [i]great[/i] start to our tamer-digimon relationship, you know..." she said hotly.[/color]

[color="#4B0082"]Tsukaimon looked over the ledge of the roof with disinterest. "Look at them. They're small as ants," he said with a chuckle. "...Mind you, I don't think any of them actually [i]are[/i] ants. Assorted insects, yes, but no actual ants yet..."
He glanced back at Renne, who was staring at the sky. He blinked a little. "What're you staring at..." he muttered, following her gaze to QuetzalRyumon, and even more so, to the two Tyranisaurous Rexes that appeared out of nowhere. "What? They're just Champions. A little bigger than necessary, but there you go."[/color]

[Blackstone Dresden]

Sure enough, Locustmon's prediction rang true and the scene descended into chaos with Stingmon's death, the insects moving from attacking the humans and their Digimon in a synchronized strike to erratic, disoriented movements, attacking each other and the human allied Digimon in equal measure.

"Brother, calm down!" SkullKnightmon shouted as he fought a battle royale against FlyBeemon, Waspmon and Kabuterimon, "QuetzalRyumon, you mind taking one of these guys for me and throwing the others to the Greymons? I don't think I can last too much..." He shrunk down a couple inches and was more proportional, if a little on the skinny side. "longer..." PawnChessmon muttered, looking at his stick that replaced the twin lances. "Yggdrasil..." He murmured as the last of his god's power left him and reverted him to his Rookie form. The small knight Digimon tossed his circular shield, like a certain copyrighted patriotic superhero, at Kabuterimon and polevaulted over FlyBeemon, leaping on its back, landing on Waspmon's shoulder before stabbing it with his lance and changing his course to land next to Wyra on QuetzalRyumon, "Great job, milady." He said, catching his shield and dropping to a knee out of exhaustion, though it was also possible for someone to mistake that for a kneel of respect and reverence.

((Next post can just be a summary of you guys cleaning up the rest of the swarm.))

[Phantom Roxas]

((Sorry for my lateness in getting to this post.))

Lawrence felt as if had a splitting headache, and held his hand to his head as he sat up. He remembered laying in his bed, but he was confused to find himself sitting in the dirt. He say a wrecked buildings around him, which frightened him. How did he get here? Where was he? As he began to sit up, he heard someone shout.

[color="#696969"]"Bro, he's awake!"[/color]

Lawrence turned around and saw a pair of silver helmets with horns, except what was wearing the helmets was rather unusual. Purple and gray heads wore the mask, and all there was other than the heads were bushy striped tails. He took off his glasses, breathed on them, wiped the lenses with his sleeve, and put his glasses back on. He wasn't seeing things. The little tailed heads were still there, and they were crawling closer to him.

[color="#8B0000"]"My brother and I were concerned when we saw you unconscious," one of them said. "We are known as Kapurimon." Kapurimon took noticed Lawrence, who still sat on the ground, was shaking. "Ah, you're uninformed, aren't you?"[/color]

"I don't follow the saying "You learn something new everyday," but the last thing I want is to be talked down to by a silver head thing."

[color="#8B0000"]"A silver head [i]thing[/i] that could probably save you from the insects that are attacking, human," the same Kapurimon said.[/color]

"What insects?" A giant blue insect flew by, but Lawrence caught enough of a glimpse to tell that it must have been thrown as it crashed into a building.

[color="#8B0000"]"Those."[/color]

[color="#696969"]"A Kabuterimon!" the first Kapurimon cried.[/color]

[color="#8B0000"]"Human," the other Kapurimon said. "I assume you have a Digivice?"[/color]

"A what now?" Lawrenced asked, confused.

[color="#696969"]"Check your posterior-sleeve!" the louder of the two shouted.[/color]

"My [i]what[/i]?" Lawrence asked.

[color="#8B0000"]"He means your pocket," the calmer Kapurimon answered. "Incidentally, I should correct your first impressions and point out that's my [i]older[/i] brother. Depressing, really."[/color]

"Considering the attitude problem you have," Lawrence said, "I actually kind of figured that was the case."

[color="#8B0000"]"Touché, human," the Kapurimon admitted. "You're almost as quick-witted as me."[/color]

Lawrence reached into his back pocket and felt something he was certain wasn't there before. He ignored why it wasn't crushed if he was sitting on it, and instead focused on looking at it. I had a strange shape, but he was able to fit it in his hand. It has a black, with a yellow ring in the middle of it, surrounding a screen. A red strap hung from the side, but Lawrence dismissed it as pointless.

"What do I do with this?" Lawrenced asked.

[color="#8B0000"]"You must call out our names," the younger Kapurimon began. Then command us to Digivolve."[/color]

Lawrence looked at the Digivice, then the two Kapurimon. "Let's try this then."

The Kabuterimon finally began to rise from the ruins, but Lawrence did his best to ignore it.

"Kapurimon, Digivolve!"

The two Kapurimon began to glow as their shapes began to change. The elder Kapurimon took the for of a golden gear with a black surface, two red eyes, and mouth, with two much smaller gears floating to the sides like hands. The younger one had the appearance of a small samurai, but Lawrence recognized the horns. It's tail took the shape of a violet lizard's, and it had two feet, each with three claws for toes.

[color="#8B0000"]"Human," the younger brother said. "Once we Digivolves, our identities become new, and I thank you for making my brother and I different. Address me as Kotemon, and my brother as Hagurumon."[/color]

Lawrence simply stared at the two creatures that just changed so drastically before him. "If that's the case, then why don't you change my identity? Don't call me "human." Just call me "Lawrence."

[color="#8B0000"]Kotemon nodded as he took out a wooden samurai sword. "Will do, Lawrence." With his brother not far behind, Kotemon charged towards the Kabuterimon.[/color]

[Hydra of Ages]

[color="#FF0000"]Wyra squealed a little in excitement. "Oh, great! C'mon QuetzalRyumon, let's mop up!" she declared brightly.
The feathered serpent nodded her head and slithered her way through the air down into the alleys, fitting snugly lengthwise. A couple of the insects, FanBeemon and Kabuterimon, attempted to follow after them, but hesitated as another orb of power was generated an inch outside of the drake's mouth.
"Sacred Ray!" she declared, firing out another burst of pure power. Kabuterimon flew up and out of the way, while the edge of the beam nicked FanBeemon, deleting its wings and causing the remaining body to disintegrate. The energy launched past towards the large company of insects, most of which managing to get out of the way. Waspmon, already injured from a stab wound to the shoulder, dodged too slowly and had a wing blown off by the attack, crying out as it crash landed towards the ground.

Wyra pumped her fist up in the air. "That's the ticket!" she declared, as QuetzalRyumon blinked wearily. The snake glowed with bright light and rapidly shrank in size, dropping Wyra onto the ground close by as she looked curiously at the white lizard left curled up in the floor.

"Did you get too tired?" she asked a little curiously, running up to WhiteGuilmon.[/color]

[color="#A0522D"]Haruman's hair was blown back by the force of the destructive beam. "That's it, I'm out of here..." he muttered quickly, turning and running in the direct opposite the battling creatures. Scarabmon, noticing his change in position, gave a little hop, flapped his insect-like wings, and latched onto the human's back with his six golden legs. Haruman tripped and looked around wildly, wriggling as if in danger.

"Get off me! What the hell, is he trying to eat me or, gah, for Ra's sake...!"[/color]
[color="#FF8C00"]Locustmon giggled a little to herself. "Wow, you're a weird human. Scarabmon's just showing how much he cares. He also doesn't like walking, so he attached himself to you- get used to it, he'll probably do it fairly often.[/color]

-

[color="#4B0082"]Tsukaimon grinned a little when he saw the struggling, de-winged Flymon on the ground. "Demon Wing..." he muttered, flapping his wings and sending globs of crackling dark energy downward. The spheres moved slowly at first, dawdling through the air, but they picked up speed and converged towards the end, enscrolling the downed insect in a seal of dark energy before exploding in a rather impressive detonation. A few whisps of data on the air and a dark mark on the ground were all that remained afterwards.

"Excellent. But tiresome..." he muttered, his wings not looking as perky as they had been before.[/color]
[color="#006400"]Renne walked over and sat by the lip of the building, looking at the charred mark on the ground. "That's a... fairly potent abilitiy you've got there..." she muttered, seeming a little disturbed. But she glanced over again, smirked a little and prodded his wing. "But you're so cyyyute..." she giggled to ehrself.[/color]
[color="#4B0082"]"I thought I told you to stop that!" he snapped, grabbing his wing back. "And I'm not 'cute'. I'm an honorable Tsukaimon, a member of a rather prestigious clan of Spellcast-"[/color]
[color="#006400"]"You look like a hampster." she informed him with a smile. He sighed.[/color]

[Blackstone Dresden]

PawnChessmon poked WhiteGuilmon with the blunt end of his stick, "Either she put way too much energy into that attack, which isn't too uncommon for newly Digivolved Digimon, or your peppiness overloaded her DigiCore, causing a sudden catastrophic Digivolution failure." He shrugged, "Or it could be that she's a newborn Digimon that hatched at Rookie and evolved to Champion later, which in human turns would be like being born at age 12 and turning 21 ten minutes later. Makes no biological sense, but it's exhausting as all Dark Area."
