RPG Digimon: Keepers of the Apcolypse [PG-LV]

[color=royalblue][size=1][i]The forest...it called out to Raseki like a mother to a child, ready to take him into her warm embrace.[/i] Raseki shook off the feeling, or at least tried to as he walked with Keramon, who's tendril legs were pulling him across the digital grass with suprising speed. Raseki changed the course, heading into the forest.

[b]"Raskei?"[/b] Keramon asked, one thin, strong hand pulling on his sleeve. The hand, to most, would feel like the touch of death, clammy and cold. But to Raskei, it felt warm and joyful.

[b]"Yeah, Keramon?"[/b] Raskei was only nice around Keramon, not around anything else. Keramon pointed with a lithe bluish grey arm to a good spot to rest.

[b]"Raskei, I think we should rest. None of the other digidestined should make it here, but I'll be on guard to make sure."[/b] Raskei nodded, taking of his leather jacket and falling against the tree. [i]Child of Fate...Keepers....destroy.[/i] Those were his dosing thoughts as he drifted off into unrestful sleep.

[I]Flash[/I]

Vaxla was in her room at the orphanage. She was startled by a sudden flash of light.

[i]Flash[/i]

[i]What the fuck?[/i] she thought. "Labramon, something's happening."

[i]Flash[/i]

The small doglike Digimon crawled out from under vaxla's bed. "What is it?"

[i]Flash[/i]

"That," she replied. "It seems to be coming from behind the door."

[i]Flash[/i]

"Are you sure that that's coming from the hallway? I've seen this light before, when I first came to this world."

[i]Flash[/i]

"You're saying it's a portal to the digital world?"

"I think it is."

The flashing stopped. A steady glow replaced it. Vaxla grabbed the device she'd found the day Labramon appeared, her digivice. It, too, was glowing. "Do we have to go through it?"

The door handle turned.

"I'm guessing yes," Labramon said.

Vaxla quickly grabbed her poles and strapped them to her back. The door opened. The next thing the two of them knew, they were in a forest. "All right," Vaxla said. "we're here. now, how the fuck do we get back home? And while we're at it, why was the portal there in the first place?"

The two of them looked around. It was Labramon who saw them. "There's someone over there."

'Another person?"

"Looks like a person and a digimon. Maybe they have an idea about what's going on?"

"Fine," Vaxla said. "We'll go talk to them, but only long enough to learn what they know."

They started walking. As they got closer, they were able to identify the two. "The digimon's a Keramon," Labramon said. "Wait. That human. Isn't he that guy from the orphanage? The one who keeps mentioning the digital world?"

Vaxla squinted. "Holy shit! That is Raskei!"

"With all his talk about this world, he's probably been here before," Labramon said. "He just might know what's going on. Come on, let's go ask."

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=2][FONT=Book Antiqua]Akira mumbled some sort of thanks as his mother set down a bowl of ramen in front of him. He quickly scribbled some notes on a piece of scrap paper and then continued at his laptop while Gabumon pottered around his room, tidying it up.

"You know, I think you should spend more time with your family, Akira." the Digimon said as he picked up and old shirt and tossed it in the dirty wash basket.

"Mm hm." was the red heads only reply as his hands literally glided across the keyboard as he typed up a science report.

"Aki-kun!" called Akira's mother from downstairs, "Are you okay up there?"

"Yeah mum, I'm fine!" Akira hated that cute nickname that his mother had given him, Gabumon always made fun of him.

"Aww, little Aki-kun...want me to feed you, hm?" Gabumon chuckled at his joke, but just as Akira was about to retaliate a blinding light shone through the window.
Akira jumped and slammed his laptop shut, knowing immediately what it was. Gabumon looked up at his friend and nodded, noticing the flashing Digivice on the desk.

Akira grabbed it and quickly scribbled a note to his mum, explaining everything properly as he knew she would understand.
The boy grabbed a jacket and pulled it over his black T-shirt, jumping into some white trainers and pushing his laptop into a satchel.

Gabumon walked to the sliding glass doors and pulled back the curtain to reveal a digital portal. Akira sighed and slid open the door, taking one last look at his room, he stepped into it.

A few seconds later, he was in the digital world.

"Prodigious...."

"That?s great, Aki, now can you please...get off?!"[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=2][FONT=Book Antiqua][B]OOC heh, 'Prodigious' I couldn't resist.[/B][/FONT][/SIZE]

[Engel]

[color=royalblue][size=1]Keramon saw Valxa and Labramon walk towards them, and woke Raskei up, getting ready to attack before he realized it was Valxa. He let the attack linger in his mind, for future use. Raskei stood up, and walked over to Valxa.

[b]"What are you doing here...you're a digidestined."[/b] Raskei eyed her up and down, and called Keramon over.

[b]"My purpose is to kill the digidestined..to kill you. I'm sorry, but that's the way it its"[/b] He looked at Valxa, waiting for a response.[/color][/size]

"Damn, you're quick to assume things," Vaxla remarked. "What makes you think that I want anything to do with you?"

"You're here," Raskei replied.

Vaxla chuckled. "If by 'here', you mean in this world, that's because I don't have a choice. I was brought here. If I'd had a choice, I wouldn't have come. As for why I'm talking to you, it's because you're the person who kept talking about the digital world. I thought you might know why Labramon and I were brought here."

"You were brought here by ones who would oppose me."

"Not knowingly. What the hell is going on here?"

"Do you really not know?"

"No," Vaxla said.

"Then I'll tell you. At worst, you'll decide to do what I thought you were already trying to do. Long ago, the four Keepers of the Apocalypse were sealed away so that they could not do harm to this world. The same warriors that sealed them were also responsible for defeating Lucemon, another threat. That was a very, very long time ago. Not quite as long ago, Lucemon returned, and was again defeated. Now, three of the four Keepers of the Apocalypse have returned, and seek to free the fourth, their leader.

"Lucemon is also still alive. I am the Child of Fate, the one who will gather the four Keepers and shed them across the spot of Lucemon's defeat. This will release Lucemon, whom I will then destroy for good. The digidestined are the allies of the Keepers, and must be taken out."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

Vaxla knelt beside Labramon. She spoke softly, and in the language of the Navajo indian tribe, a language nearly impossible to learn. She began learning it with Labramon in case they needed to communicate without being understood, an example of Vaxla's paranoia at work. There was a Navajo at the orphanage. Why she was there, nobody knew, but Vaxla made use of her. She learned fast, and taught Labramon what the Navajo taught her. They were both fluent(sp?).

"That last part was either bullshit or a misunderstanding," Vaxla said.

"Definatly not what's true," Labramon agreed. "The digidestined are always opposed to those who would do harm to this world. They are summoned to defend it, not help destroy it. Raskei and Keramon obviously haven't hearn any of the legends of the digidestined. Either that, or he assumes that we haven't."

"Probably the latter, seeing as how we stressed our lack of knolwedge. Either way, it seems likely that he just lied to us to get our aid in freeing either the last Keeper or, more likely, Lucemon, assuming that that part's true, which it may or may not be. He couldn't have known what our reaction to the truth would be."

"Then I take it you want to do the same thing I want to?"

"Yes. Our chances are better with the Keepers and/or Lucemon than they are against the Keepers and/or Lucemon. Just one thing first."

Vaxla stood up and switched back to English, which raskei and Keramon could speak and understand. "It seems there's a decision to make," she said. "But first, there is one thing that I must know." She drew her poles and threw one to Raskei. "Let's see how skilled with that you are. this is not a fight to the death. I want to know your skill, how well you can fight without Keramon's aid. So, bring it on."

[COLOR=Navy]Kaze sat on her wooden table, leaning against her large open window. Slow breezes blew past her frequently, brushing her hair around. It was a perfect day, but she didn't want to go outside. She was in another of her moods. She heard some rustling and two figures sat up next to her.

"You can't stay locked up all day, Kaze." one said.

"Yes, I can." she answered bluntly.

"Momentai, Kaze, Momentai!" the other said, bouncing into her lap.

Kaze gave the figures a small smile.

"Thanks for trying to cheer me up guys. And Terriermon, this is not something that I can just 'Don't Worry' about." Kaze sighed, translating Terriermon's favourite saying.

"But you gotta get over it sometime, right Lopmon?" Terriermon said, asking the other creature.

Lopmon just shrugged. "She'll get over it if she wants to, or when she wants to."

Kaze smiled and played with their long ears. They looked like a cross between a rabbit and a dog.

Kaze was upset because she had learned that one of her bestfriends were moving away. They had been very close since they were young. Her thoughts were interrupted when there was a bright flash in her room, blinding her. Kaze blinked the bright spots away from her vision and she saw a strange whirling mass infront of her door.

"Terriermon, Lopmon, what is it?" Kaze asked, unfolding her legs from under herself and sliding off the table, picking up the device that had been sitting on the window sill.

"I think it's a Digital Portal...like the one we came through." Terriermon answered.

"Does that mean we're supposed to go through?" she asked, eyeing the portal.

"I guess so..." Lopmon replied, as the two of them flapped to sit on Kaze's shoulders.

Kaze took a deep breath, gripped her digivice, and walked through the portal.

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a large field, Terriermon and Lopmon were lying next to her. She shook them awake gently and they sat up.

"We're in the Digital World." they all said in unison.[/COLOR]

[color=royalblue][size=1]Raskei cought the pole, and thought back to the woods...[b]"Alright, agreed."[/b] Then, without warning, he ran swiftly at Valxa, gripping the pole with his left hand at the top, reaching Valxa, and holding the body of it as he suddenly slammed his hand down on the top of the pole, making it come up in an uppercut fashion.

Keramon watched with interest. His antenne slightly swung around as he shifted his head over to Labramon.

[b]"Labramon, I see...I'm not an idiot, all digimon are fluent in several languages. We got this info from Devimon's Castle in the Tropical Forest."[/b][/color][/size]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

OOC: It?s amazing that Vaxla and Labramon learned Navajo, and Vaxla was taught by a native speaker. Navajo?s not an easy language to learn. I doubt Keramon would know it. he could certainly have guessed at the content of vaxla and Labramon?s conversation, however. If he does know it, could you please PM me explaining how he learned it (just because I?d be curious)?

------------------------------------------------

?I doubt you actually understand the language that Vaxla and I used,? Labramon said to Keramon. ?You just guessed what we were talking about. Not too hard to do, certainly. And you were right. We were discusing what Raskei said. We decided that our goals and yours match. Vaxla just wants to know how well Raskei fights without your aid.?

The two of them watched the battle. It was a very close fight, but Vaxla seemed to have a slight edge. Raskei?s strikes were a tiny bit off, his hold of the pole more suitable for a bladed weapon. Not a sword, though. A bladed pole-type weapon. Similar to a plain pole, but different enough to throw his motions a tiny bit off. Vaxla was able to use this against him. At the end, she let loose with a quick series of strikes that ended with Raskei on the ground, disarmed.

?Very good,? Vaxla said as Raskei stood up. She retrieved her othre pole, and put both away. ?You were a little off, though. you normally use a different weapon, don?t you? Similar to a pole, but bladed, right??

Raskei nodded. ?Correct. I assume I passed your test??

?Yes. You passed. You can take care of yourself. That?s good. All right, let?s get down to business. You and Keramon have your goals. Labramon and I have ours. Our goals match with yours. Therefore, it?s only logical that we work together. Agreed??

?Agreed,? Raskei said.

?Good. Now, you made it pretty obvious that we musk kill these digidestined, so that?s what we?ll do first. So, where are they??

[B][I][COLOR=Teal]"Why are you doing that," Amika asked as she sat at her computer randomly pushing buttons. DemiDevimon slightly peeked over Amika's shoulder and grinned. He had been annoying her the whole time she had been on the internet.

"Because it's funny how annoyed you get," DemiDevimon said as he quickly perched himself on Amika's shoulder. Amika shook her head and looked at her computer screen. A strange pop-up was on there. That seemed strange to Amika.

"What the heck is this," Amika questioned as she leaned closer to the screen. DemiDevimon shook his head. He was as confused as Amika was.

"Why don't you click on it to find out," DemiDevimon suggested as he looked over at at Amika. Amika slightly let out a sigh and grabbed her mouse. She was taking DemiDevimon's advice since there was nothing else she could do. She suddenly clicked on the pop-up and her computer started admitting a strong white light.

"Nice going feathers-for-brains," Amika said as she covered her eyes, "Look what you've done." DemiDevimon covered his eyes with his wing and glared at Amika.

"Me," DemiDevimon yelled with slight anger, "You're the one who clicked on the pop-up!" Amika quickly looked at DemiDevimon with a cold look. She wasn't too happy with his response.

"You told me to click on it batty," Amika yelled as her and DemiDevimon started disappering into the light.

The thing Amika knew, she was waking up to a slight beeping sound. She thought it was her alarm clock, so she went to slam her hand down on it.

"Ouch," Wizardmon yelled as he held Amika's Digivice in one hand, "Wake up Amika before you hit me again." Amika fluttered her eyes open and quickly jumped. She looked around and, to her surprise, she was on a beach. Wizardmon strightened his hat up and handed Amika's Digivice to her.

"DemiDevimon," Amika questioned as she stared at Wizardmon. Wizardmon crossed his arms and shook his head.

"It's Wizardmon now," Wizardmon said as he floated to be eye-to-eye with Amika, "but I'm still your feathers-for-brains. We must be in the Digital World and I must have Digivolved when we went through the portal." Amika nodded and smiled. She like this look for Wizardmon.

"I like this look for you batty," Amika said as she looked at Wizardmon's staff, "Now, let's see if we can find someone to tell me why in the heck we're here." Wizardmon nodded in agreement and started following Amika.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OOC: I hope it's ok I have Wizardmon now. If it isn't, I'll change it. I was aiming for something like Gatomon. Wizardmon stays in his champion form unless he's really drained of his energy. Well, I'll change if you like though.[/COLOR][/I][/B]

"I don't know where to find the digidestined," Raskei said.

"Then we need to start looking. Labramon's told me the legends of the Digidestined." Vaxla watched Raskei's face for any signs of surprise that Vaxla and Labramon knew the legends, but saw nothing. "File Island is where the majority of the groups in the legends came into this world, so it's a good place to start looking. Meanwhile, I'd like some more information about the current situation, and in more detain than you can probably give me."

"Durring your fight with Raskei, Keramon mentioned Devimon's Castle," Labramon said. "It's where they gat their information. We should look there."

"Good idea," Vaxla replied. "We'll look there. Raskei, Keramon, you two go to File Island. Labramon and I will catch up with you there. Oh, just one question: where is Devimon's Castle?"

---------------------------------------

OOC: In case you're wondering, all references to the legends of the digidestined include more than just the four seasons of the show. Other stories about Digidestined would doubtless be told, even if they didn't actually happen.
