[SIZE=1][color=teal]OOC: Congratulations to all those who got into the RP, as I mentioned in the Inn thread I?ll be using an episodic structure to the RP so we don?t get sidetracked or just lose the plot utterly so with each new Episode I?ll post a short description and a posting order [If one is needed]. So here?s the description of this episode:[/color]

[color=darkred][center][b][u]?Flames of Fortitude: Infernodramon Appears!?[/u][/b][/color]

[color=teal]?As ChaosLucemon and the other Demon Lords strengthen their position in the Digital World Patriamon has removed the Elementals from the World until the new Digidestined arrived. However ChaosLucemon is aware that the Digidestined may be arriving so he has dispatched his most trusted Lieutenant to inform the other Demon Lords of their arrival.?

?While all this is happening in the Digital World, the Digidestined are still in the Real World and are unaware that their lives are about to change.?[/center]

So to start I want you to all post your arrival in the Digital World, you can do what I?ve done by having it immediately following the discovery of your Crystal and Digivice or a little while after that. The entire episode will not have a post order but for the ?introduction posts? I would ask you all to not post after your own introduction before everyone has.

[color=darkred][center][b][u]?Flames of Fortitude: Infernodramon Appears!?[/u][/b][/center][/color]
[SIZE=1][color=teal]High atop a mountain on the edge of the Digital World, very close to the Dark Area, is where the Leader of the Seven Great Demon Lords has made his Citadel. ChaosLucemon built this place long ago, long before he had gathered too him the greatest of the virus-attribute Digimon. Since that time it has been his private stronghold and the one place he knows he is truly safe from the power of Patriamon.

But of course he would never admit too any that he still feared his former master, it would be unbefitting of a ruler to show weakness to his slaves. At this moment in time ChaosLucemon is in the highest reaches of his Citadel, awaiting reports on the whereabouts of the Seven Elementals which vanished before he and the Demon Lords could possess them.

He is lost in thought and does not hear the door to his main chamber swing open.

[b]?My Lord, DarkRizamon has returned.?[/b] Came a voice from the shadows, it was deep and filled with bitterness, even when speaking to its Master.

ChaosLucemon opened his eyes wearily, [b]?Send him in.?[/b] The shadowy form departed the room as Digimon of black flames and golden claws entered, bowing before his Master.

[b]?What word do you bring of the Fire Elemental, have you discovered its location??[/b] ChaosLucemon asked in his usual soft tones. The Digimon before him cowered slightly before giving his response.

[b]?No...no my Lord, we have found no trace of the Fire Elemental or any of the others. It is as if they have vanished from the Digital World.?[/b]

In a snap ChaosLucemons normal calm exterior vanished as he leapt into the air, wings unfurling, and looked down with disgust at his soon to be ex-minion.

[b]?How is that possible! The Elementals are fundamental to the survival of the Digital World! They cannot simply vanish you fool, you have served your purpose! I no longer require you.?[/b]

Before uttering his attack DarkRizamon begged and pleaded for forgiveness, all it did was give ChaosLucemon cause to sneer before realising his attack.

[center][b]?Nefarious Wrath!?[/b][/center]

And DarkRizamon ceased to be, his DigiCore extinguished. While ChaosLucemon regained his composer and folded his wings back in the shadowed form returned to his door way.

[b]?What will you have me do, Master??[/b] It asked.

[b]?Sangloupmon, you have been my trusted assassin for as long as I can remember. What I am about to tell you can not be repeated to any but my fellow Demon Lords.?[/b]

[b]?Yes Master.?[/b] The great demon wolf Digimon, Sangloupmon, bowed in reverence to his Master. ChaosLucemon indicated for him to come closer.

[b]?What do you know of those called ?The Digidestined???[/b]

[center]~*~[/center]

Sitting on the top of the rock face he had just scaled Tristan looked down at the Crystal in his right hand and the medium sized remote-control thing in his left. He?d never seen anything like them before and was still wondering why the light from the Crystal and given him cause to finally make it up to the top of the rocks.

For a few minutes he jabbed the buttons on the device, shook it, spoke too it and did everything he could think of doing before he gave up and began to examine the Crystal. The surface of it was perfect, not a dent or a scratch on it anywhere, the colour was a bright red but it seemed to shimmer and change to different shades as he moved it around to examine more.

Every once in a while he could swear that he saw fire within the Crystal itself but every time he looked closer it seemed to fade away again. Tearing his gaze away from the Crystal for a moment Tristan saw that the sun was getting pretty low, he figured he should be getting home. Placing the two objects carefully in his pocket he clambered back down the rock face and back onto the road.

Whilst he was walking Tristan found himself humming an old tune. The world around him was preparing for the night and the rest it would bring but he found himself strangely energised, walking at a brisk pace he thought he?d be home soon. That was before his pocket started with the strange device he found started to glow.

Half scared and half curious Tristan pulled it out of his pocket and looked at its main screen. There was some sort of coded writing being written there that he couldn?t make out, however he didn?t have time to watch the code finish as he was enveloped in a bubble of some sort.

Before he could utter a single word he, and the bubble, disappeared with a faint popping sound.

[center]~*~[/center]

He didn?t know how long it had been since the device had started to glow and that bubble surrounded him but Tristan did know one thing.

[b]?I don?t think I?m in New Zealand anymore...?[/b] He said softly as he got to his feet and looked around. His first tip off was that before he?d been in a field of grass but now he was in a large jungle of some sort, the second clue was that the sky wasn?t blue anymore. It was twisting and changing even as he looked at it, seemingly becoming any colour but blue.

And his third clue arrived shortly after that in the form of a creature that looked like a cross between a dragon, a bear and a child all at the same time. It was all Tristan could do not to leap out his skin as it came bounding toward him.[/color]

[color=darkred][b]?Well look who finally decided to show up, I?m Flamon. Guess what buddy, we?re partners! But first, what?s your name??[/b][/color] [color=teal]The creature, Flamon, said with a grin.

[b]?Erm...well I?m...Tristan.?[/b]

[COLOR=Navy]Kazuki ran up the stairs to her room as soon as they got home. She locked the door and slipped out of the......[I]dress[/I]. She despised dresses and skirts, even though she could pull it off, she just didn't feel that it was comfortable. She slipped into a pair of navy blue cargo pants and slid her joggers onto her feet. Kazu rummaged in her closet for a couple of seconds before pulling out two articles of clothing. A royal blue spaghetti strap top that fit her figure perfectly, and slipped on a loose white button down shirt over the top, leaving it open. This was her preferred style, and she liked it just fine.

She flopped onto her bed and stared at the ceiling, she was supposed to go to the wedding dinner later that night, but she didn't want to, because that meant wearing a dress again. She swung her legs over the side and hit the 'On' button on her stereo, she scanned the channels and arrived on a Japanese station, since she had modded the stereo so it could pick up channels from different languages. She loved Japanese songs and enjoyed singing to them, with her favourite artist being Utada Hikaru. "Passion" came on and she started singing, flowing with it before a loud consistent beeping interrupted the song. Her immediate thought was to go for her phone, but it wasn't that. Then she remembered the strange device and crystal that had come to her during the wedding. Kazuki picked up her dress and removed the two items from her pocket.

The golden device was glowing brightly, with a strange code running through the screen. The light pulsed and suddenly she was enveloped in light. She took a breath and stared into the screen before she disappeared.

[CENTER][B]~*~[/B][/CENTER]

Kazuki arrived at her destination, blinking as she was in a forest with soft green grass. There was no one else around her, but she could hear that there were things around her from the soft rustlings.

[B]"Where am I?"[/B] she questioned, looking around.

Glancing at the sky her face became shocked, it was changing colour every few seconds; red, yellow, green, orange, violet, gray. She knew she wasn't anywhere on Earth anymore, because on Earth, the sky was just blue.

[B]"Could it be?!"[/B]

Kazu whirled to see a young boy with wings coming toward her. She put her hands up and backed away with wide eyes.

[B]"Yes, you must be. My name is Lucemon, and I'm to be your partner. And you are?"[/B] he asked.

[B]"Um....I'm Kazuki. But I don't believe in angels."[/B] she explained.

[B]"I'm not just an angel. I'm a Digimon; abbreviation for Digital Monster."[/B]

[B]"M-Monster? N-No, I don't believe in supernatural things. This is just a dream."[/B] she squeezed her eyes shut.

[B]"This is no dream. And we're not [I]that[/I] kind of monster."[/B]

Kazu just watched him. He extended a hand to her.

[B]"Please. You're the only person I know I can open to. Since we're to be partners. I'll help you, Kazuki. I think there is another person that is already here. Come, we'll go find them."[/B]

Lucemon sounded so sincere to her, and she nodded, walking beside him as he flew. After about 10 minutes of walking, they found the other person, a boy with spiky brown hair and goggles, standing with a weird small bearish creature.

[B]"Flamon, I see you've found your partner."[/B]

[B]"You too, Lucemon."[/B]

[B]"Uh, hi. I'm Kazuki......do you know what's going on here?"[/B]

[B]"No, I'm just as confused. My name's Tristan."[/B][/COLOR]

[B]OOC:[/B] There ya go, Will. I posted. Tell me if I gotta change stuff.

[INDENT][color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Stephen swam up to the top of the water and glanced at his hands, viewing the objects held in each one. In the left one, a strange device simliar to a cell phone, in the right one, a crystal as hard as ice.

His first instinct was to press the large circular button the side of the device. Nothing happened. He pressed all of the other buttons only to end up with the same result. He even hit the screen a few times.

"What good is a cell phone if it doesn't turn on?! And where's the damn numbers on this thing?" he said to himself. Coming to the conclusion that it was just a toy some kid had dropped, he started wading towards the shore of the beach, crystal and toy in hand. He shoved them both into his pockets.

Just as he arrived to the beach, he realized that his trunks were a little light. He stuck his hands into his pockets.

[i]Cell Phone Toy?[/i] he felt around. [i]Check.[/i]

[i]Valuable diamond?[/i] he fel around again. There was only the toy. [i]Not check. Shit.[/i] He thought. He ran back to the water and looked around the sandy bottom for the crystal object. He was just about to give up looking when he saw that same strange glow he recognized from when he first found the crystal.

He swam over to it and dived down. Sure enough, the crystal sat along the bottom of the lake, resting in the sand.

[i]Like a diamond in the rough.[/i] he thought. He turned to swim back to shore for the second time, when he noticed that his pants were shining. He dipped his hand into his left pocket and pulled out what he thought was a children's toy. The screen was glowing immensely. He went to look closer when the water around him suddenly coiled in a spiral around him. When the water fell back down, he was gone.

---

Stephen awoke in shock. He didn't know where he was, or what had happened but somehow he was no longer at Wasaga Beach and he was dressed in casual clothes. Some water splashed his face and he looked to his left. Floating in a small pool of water tredded a large tropical looking fish. It spoke.

"Welcome to the digital world, Stephen!"[/FONT][/COLOR][/INDENT]

[CENTER][SIZE=1]The sun seemed unusually bright today as it shone down through the large oak tree Quincy Samson had just jumped down from. Small blobs of light dappled her face and hair, but more importantly, it seemed to make the stone in her hands explode with light. The golden coloured stone shot beams off in all directions, making her white shirt almost change colours with it.

The device that had come with the gem lay forgotten on the bench next to the young woman, her leather gloved hands clasped around the end of the diamond-shaped treasure.

She briefly wondered if someone could have dropped both items, then realise how ridiculous the idea was considering she'd found it up a tree, in a nest.

[B]"Come to think of it..."[/B]

The red head slipped off of the bench and knelt down to find the baby bird she'd seen. It seemed like it had disappeared, though, and Quincy could only sit back, completely puzzled.

It was then the device on the bench began shining with a brilliant white light and Quincy stumbled forward to grab the thing and it's partner, the gem. She only had time to close her eyes against the fantastic light before she disappeared from the world she once knew.

//////////

Quincy woke up with her head in a thicket of grass. As her vision began to clear, she realised that a sword she recognised as a bamboo shinai was rested right next to her head. She slowly looked up to find a rather short...man? No, definitely not. Those features behind the wire mask definitely weren't human.

[B]"You took your time. I was hoping you?d be the first, but never mind. Come, Samson."[/B]

[B]"...Uh."[/B][/SIZE][/CENTER]

[Riku]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma ][B]"...Yeah mom... I know. He's just working hard so that he can give me a decent life."[/B]

Ayana fell onto her bed in her blue and white room, hanging onto the wireless phone in her right hand and talking with her mother on the other end of the line. She flipped over on her stomach and rested her head on her right arm, twirling her fingers through her long black hair that was tied in two little buns at the top yet long hair hanging down her back. She looked out of her clear window door, sighing while she was listening to her mother talking about why her dad has to leave her so often... a speech which she's heard so many times.

[B]"Honey.. I know you feel lonely at home all by yourself, but it's not like he's wanting to leave you all the time."[/B]

[B]"Mom, look,"[/B] she then finally sighed and sat up on her bed, [B]"... I understand he's just working... but I never see him anymore. And everytime I come back from school, the only thing that let's me know that he was there is dinner already made and a note saying he'll be out late."[/B] She then sighed and continued to talk to her mother about the situation and other little things.

Ayana then finally pressed the "Off" button on the phone and got off her bed to open the clear door leading to her balcony. She sighed and leaned her head and arms on the silver railing, watching the busy city nearby and the falling pink petals from the large trees. [B]"Well... at least I still have mom,"[/B] she said, lifting her left hand to catch a falling petal and clutching it in her hand. She then dropped it towards the road beneath her and sighed again.... until she heard a faint buzzing sound coming from her jean pocket.

She turned her head and lifted her hand towards the back pocket and rummaged through it a little until she grabbed the small device that she had found the other night. Ayana finally grabbed it and slowly lifted the glowing silver-grey device in front of her face, wondering what it was doing. [B]"What the heck... how is it doing that?"[/B]

She started pressing buttons to stop it from making noise until it suddenly started showing numbers and letters on the small screen, causing confusion to be written all over her face. And then suddenly, a bright light shone from the small device, engulfing her in it's brightness and causing her to sheild her eyes from it.

[CENTER]~*~[/CENTER]

[B]"Helllllooooo?! It's time to wake up, silly!"[/B]

Ayana slowly awoke, blinking her eyes and sitting up on the unknown grassy area that she was in. She then looked down at her body which had on a black denim skirt, a dark blue Japanese style shirt with light blue flower designs and black boots which reached up to her knee. [B]"Alright,"[/B] she finally spoke, anger written all over her face, [B]"... what kind of trick is this?"[/B] She looked to her right side.... which she saw an animal which looked like something of an owl... no... it was more... warped looking.

The weird bird smiled and waved it's light green wing at her, greeting her politely. [B]"Hi! It's nice to finally meet you, Aya! My name's Falcomon[/B]!"

She let out a light shriek, shielding herself from the weird... thing. Ayana didn't know animals could talk, much less be polite. [B]"Uh.. uh... My name's Ayana.. not Aya."[/B]

[B]"Oh I know!"[/B] Falcomon replied, still smiling, [B]"That's my nickname for you!"[/B]

[B]"Uh okay.. that's... great,"[/B] she replied, still a little confused. First she get's transported to an unkown land.. and now she's got some weird bird- thing giving her nicknames... could this day get any better?

Suddenly, in the small patch of grass near her.... a boy with blonde hair walked out whilest holding some kind of fish-thing in his arms. Falcomon turned to the fish and waved yet again. [B]"Swimmon!! Glad to see you found your friend too!"[/B]

[B]"And you too, Falcomon!! She's real pretty..."[/B] the fish replied, smiling at Ayana.

The young blonde boy looked at Ayana and blushed a bit, then helping her up to her feet. [B]"Uh.. I see you got transported here too?"[/B]

She looked at him and smiled, still a little confused, [B]"Ah yeah, I guess.... this weird animal- thing just talked to me. Oh.. what's your name?"[/B]

[B]"Stephen,"[/B] he replied, shaking her hand, [B]"but you can call me Steve."[/B]

[B]"Hi Stephen! My name's Ayana...."[/B]

[B]"Nuh- uh! It's Aya!"[/B] Falcomon replied happily.

[CENTER]~*~[/CENTER]
OoC: Huzzah!! Done!! Awesomeness, Joko.. I are liking it. By the way, White... hope you didn't mind Stephen blushing at Ayana. After all, she is a girl... a sexay girl. :D[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[color=darkred][size=1]

[b] ?What ya got?! What ya got!?? [/b]Mike growled aggressively, bouncing a basketball between his legs back a forth from the right and left hand quickly. He was bare-bodied, his shirt and jacket laying off to the side on a bench. He looked into the eyes of his opponent fiercely, but with a cocky smile across his face.

His opponent was Jerome, a young african-american with tightly braided corn-rows on his head and a friend of Mike?s, sat in an open guard. His back was to the court?s goal, which he was backing up to as Mike advanced slowly, the ball still in a quick rhythm between his legs.[b] ?I?ll show you something, B.?[/b] Jerome spoke calmly, tracing the ball with his eyes, he reached out to stop the ball's rhythm.

This caused Mike to switch his feet quickly and rolled around Jerome?s back quickly. Taking the ball into his hands, Mike jumped from the paint and shot a smooth lay-up across the back board and landed hard onto his feet. He lifted his leg up and spun around with an arrogant animation, and stomped.

[b]?What you know, kid?! What you know?!? [/b]Mike hollered out of celebration, hopping up and down in his friend?s face with a laugh. ?Game, son! That?s game!?

[b]?Man... shut up, how ?bout that??[/b] Jerome replied with out of frustration. He gave Mike a steely glare as he made his way towards the bench to retrieve his clothes.

[b]?How about when you beat me? Then I?ll shut up... ?til then, I?ll talk all I want. So... a talk-talk-talk.?[/b] Mike laughed out as he sat on the bench and grabbed his jacket, revealing a small electronic device, along with a glossy-black crystal. Mike looked down confused, as Jerome left the gym-court and made his way towards the locker rooms. He was now alone in the gymnasium as he began placing his shirts back on and put on his jacket. He looked down to the crystal again and rotated it in his fingers. [b] ?Heh... Bangin?.?[/b] he slurred out of amusement. He then picked up the small device and pressed a small button on it, which did nothing. [b] ?Hrm...?[/b]

Standing up, Mike pocketed the two objects and made his way for the locker rooms after Jerome, but was suddenly halted by a strange digital bleeping coming from his pocket. He quickly withdrew the small device and looked at it with a cocked eyebrow. The screen was buzzing with strange coding and lights, suddenly it produced a large bubble which enveloped Mike, much to his suprise.

[b] ?WHAT THE FU-?[/b] Mike?s shout was cut off as his body, and existence, disappeared from the Earth and into another world.


[center]****************************[/center]

Moments later, in another strange and forested world, Mike?s body, still surrounded by the bubble, flew through a dark-spiral portal, falling to the ground. The bubble bursted upon contact, causing his body to hit the grass with a hard thud. [b] ?DAMN!?[/b] he yelled in pain. He rose up to a sitting position and looked around, confused and slightly scared. [b] ?What now??[/b] he said confused. Suddenly, a rustling in the bushes beside him caused Mike to jump to his feet alert. He looked on as a small, four-legged reptile emerged from the bushes. It wore on it?s head a strange helmet and it?s eyes had an eerie human-quality to them. Mike stepped back, slightly intimidated by the odd creature.

Then it spoke. [b][color=black] ?Hello, Master. I am Ryuudamon. I shall be serving as your guardian and companion on this world.?[/b][/color] The creature spoke with a heavy distinction and a deep voice. All of this more and more shocking to Mike.

[b] ?What the hell?! What are you?! Why are you talking?!?[/b] Mike panicked and tumbled to the ground, crawling backwards as the creature advanced towards him.

[color=black][b] ?There is no need to fret, my lord. I am not your foe, nor shall I allow harm to come unto you.?[/b][/color] The creature said, attempting, and failing, to calm Mike down.[/color][/size]

[Blayze]

[size=1]Alex sat atop a large hill, overlooking a wide, changing landscape, parts of it occupied by fields, plants, trees, some of it occupied by industry, factories. Yet another part of it was residential, taken up by houses and retail outlets.

Alex took a deep breath and then sighed the air from his mouth slowly. He had seen much of the world, from the heavy industry and bustle of Central London to the almost-deserted peace of the deserts of Mexico, but he liked it best here, in the United States. Everything was pure, nothing was fake or forced. He loved every part of it.

He closed his eyes and leant his head back, breathing in the cool night air that surrounded him. His breath emerged from his mouth in massive, billowing clouds, and he felt the cool air wash over him, refreshing him after a long hot day.

Suddenly, a bleeping in his pocket snapped him out of the almost trance-like state he was in. He searched around himself, slightly confused about the fact that he had turned his phone off several hours earlier, and it wasn't even on his person.

[i]But what about that other thing you picked up? [/i]he asked himself. He reached into his pocket and fished out the small electronic device he had found in this very same park not long ago. He had assumed it was someone's MP3 player, and was planning to hand it in to lost property at the police station at the first opportunity, but he hadn't gotten round to it yet.

He looked at the small screen on it, which was flashing with lights and some kind of electronic coding.

[b]"What is this thing?" [/b]he whispered, before it flashed so brightly he lost all sight in both his eyes...

[/size][center]---

[left][size=1]Alex woke up, blinking the dots from in front of his eyes. He rubbed them to speed up the process and sat up. The world he opened his eyes to was a very different one from the one he had been knocked unconscious in.

Trees surrounded him, as well as strange plants at ankle-height. He got to his feet, slowly so as to avoid a headrush, and looked around.

[b]"I don't think I'm in Kansas any more," [/b]he said softly, laughing a little at the small joke. He definitely wasn't. Palm trees surrounded him, as well as those small red flowers and lush, blue foliage.

It was the most beautiful, clean place Alex had ever seen. He walked slowly forwards, carefully avoiding stepping on any of the plants, until he heard the sound of gently flowing water. He had heard this kind of sound before, and sensed it might be a small pool or oasis of some kind, and followed the sounds until he came to the edge of a large lake.

He looked out across it, and even over the other side, he saw unbridled nature, unspoilt beauty in every direction he looked. The water sparkled in the sunlight, and cool air wafted across the surface of the lake, making the reflections dance.

Suddenly, Alex heard a shuffling behind him. He whirled around and saw a small shadow in the undergrowth behind him. He knelt down to try and get a better look.

[b]"Come on out little fella," [/b]he said softly, [b]"I'm not going to hurt you."

[/b]The little creature seemed nervous, but soon he overcame his nerves and shuffled out of the bushes. It seemed to be a small, waist-high beetle-like creature. Alex was a little startled as he saw it, but he shook it off. He seemed to be in a different world, so different wildlife was bound to be around him.

[b]"I've been waiting for you to turn up," [/b]the creature said. Alex was even more startled at this.

[b]"Did you...talk? You can talk?" [/b]he asked, slightly confused.

[b]"Of course I can talk. All of us Digimon can talk, everyone knows that...oh, except you don't, do you? You're not from around here. Sorry about all this, it might come as a bit of a shock to you. My name's KoKabuterimon, and I'm what we call a Digital Monster, or Digimon for short. It might take a bit of explaining, so first why don't you tell me your name, stranger?" [/b]asked the little thing. It was surprisingly articulate for a small, beetle-like creature.

[b]"My name's Alex. It's nice to meet you, KoKabuterimon..."[/b]

[Jokopoko]

[size=1][color=teal][b]?So I?m a...what did you call it again??[/b] Tristan asked Flamon as they walked through the jungle. After a few minutes of Flamon talking at him Tristan had gotten used to the idea of a Digimon, but then Flamon had called him something and he couldn?t quite remember what it was.[/color]

[color=darkred][b]?You?re a Digidestined, chosen by Patriamon to help us protect the Digital World from ChaosLucemon using the power of the Elementals.?[/b][/color] [color=teal]Flamon recited, as if he had learned that from birth.

[b]?Right then...?[/b] Tristan replied, with a sceptical look on his face. They continued walking and, half out of boredom and half out of curiosity, Tristan took out the Crystal and device that he?d found not too long ago. Looking at them from all angles he asked Flamon: [b]?So could you tell me what these things are??[/b][/color]

[color=darkred][b]?Of course I can. Honestly what do I look like, a baby level? Okay, this Crystal is the Elemental Crystal of Fire and I don?t know what its for exactly but I know that it?s important...yeah. And this thing here is the Digivice, I know that?s important as well...but not why it?s important.?[/b][/color]

[color=teal][b]?So the truth is you [i]don?t[/i] know what they are really.?[/b] Tristan said with a smirk, Flamon just glared at him. After that Tristan just asked general things about the Digital World and find it hard to believe that everything around him was actually data and real in the normal sense of the word. Eventually Tristan heard a rustling sound, as well as talking, a few feet away. Poking his head through the bushes he saw a girl with what looked like a small Angel, he turned to Flamon who had already gone up to them, he sighed and walked out as well.[/color]

[color=darkorange][b]"Flamon, I see you've found your partner."[/b][/color] [color=teal]Said the Angel, Tristan was more shocked by this than he was meeting Flamon.[/color]

[color=darkred][b]"You too, Lucemon."[/b][/color] [color=teal]Trying to remember the Angel boys name Tristan turned to the girl and instantly wished he hadn?t. She had brilliant blue eyes and, what seemed to be, naturally white hair. Tristan made a gruff cough before she asked him something.

[b]"Uh, hi. I'm Kazuki......do you know what's going on here?"[/b]

[b]"No, I'm just as confused. My name's Tristan."[/b] Tristan replied, attempting to sound nonchalant and cool in front of her.[/color]

[color=darkorange][b]?Pardon the intrusion but have you met anyone else yet??[/b][/color] [color=teal]Enquired Lucemon.

[b]?If we had don?t you think we would?ve have told you??[/b] Tristan said, trying to sound smug and superior, thought he thought he heard a tut or something of the like from Kazuki. [b]?Anyway, it was just by chance we found you two, how do we find other people??[/b][/color]

[color=darkorange][b]?You are aware that your Digivice can also act as a compass and tracking device??[/b][/color] [color=teal]Lucemon said, Tristan could?ve sworn he saw his eyes glint with something.

After some quick discussion the four of them had figured it?d be a good bet to have both of the Digivices working together to find these supposed others that Lucemon had mentioned. Kazuki would be using the tracking feature whilst Tristan operated the compass, though they started going in opposite directions at first they eventually got a rhythm going when they picked up a signal to the west.[/color][/size]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1]Kotemon wasn't amused. He had been under the impression that his Digidestined, his [I]charge[/I], would at least be competent. Granted, the girl hadn't screamed or flailed about when she woke up, but she wasn't exactly throwing herself into this situation either.

She was, in fact, stumbling along awkwardly through masses of damp undergrowth.

[B]"Girl, are you going to waddle about like a one-legged Biyomon all day or will you actually keep up?"[/B]

Quincy had no idea what a 'Biyomon' was, but she was pretty sure the midget Kendo man had just insulted her.

[B]"Listen here, squirt. I've been taken form my home and thrown into an odd, funny-smelling world where a pushy....[I]thing[/I] is giving me orders. I think I'm doing pretty well, thank you very much, and I'd very much appreciate it if you shut the hell up."[/B]

Kotemon stopped and turned slowly, his sword resting over his shoulder. He gave Quincy a look that made her screw up her face in an expression of defiance and he simply couldn't help but let out a short bark of a laugh. The redhead looked taken aback, but slowly began to smile herself. Finally the ice had been broken, and Quincy somehow found it easier to pick her way through the bushes and vines.

[B]"You should look at your Digivice (that's the thing on your belt), so that we can see where the others are."[/B]

[B]"Other Digidestined?" [/B] Quincy asked, stooping to hear Kotemon a little better.

[B]"Exactly. You're catching on, Samson."[/B]


Ten minutes passed before Quincy saw a blip of colour on the screen of her Digivice. This was accompanied by the distant sound of voices, one male and one female, by the sounds of it. She looked down at Kotemon and he nodded, using his sword to point a way through the trees toward where the other people must be. Quincy walked ahead of him for the first time, and stepped into a brilliantly lit clearing where the boy and girl were stood. She raised a hand in greeting and smiled, [B]"Hi there."[/B]

[B]OOC Hope that's okay Will, Mary.[/B][/SIZE]

[Riku]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]It seemed as if both Stephen and Ayana had been walking in circles in the tall grass, trying to follow these... creatures... that had been leading them. Ayana vaugely sighed as they continued walking, growing more and more annoyed that she was in a place that she didn't know, much less following some bird who already gave her a nickname... thus, it didn't take long for her to snap.

[B]"Look, bird creature... thing, we've been wal,"[/B] she was suddenly intterupted by the talking bird.

[B]"It's not 'bird creature thing', it's [I]Falcomon[/I],"[/B] he replied sarcastically.

Ayana sighed and touched her forehead with her right hand, shaking her head and sighing, [B]"Okay... Falcomon, are you sure you know exactly where you're going?" [/B] she looked around at the tall grass that spread for miles and miles, [B]"I mean, we've been walking in this area for what seems like centuries ago."[/B]

Falcomon looked around and nodded his head, [B]"Yup.. we're lost!"[/B] he replied with a big smile.

Growing angrier at the bird, she reached down in her black skirt pocket and brought out that little device. [B]"Here, maybe this has some sort of compass in it to help us,"[/B] she replied, pushing some buttons to see what they would do.

[B]"Uhm,"[/B] Stephen said, trying to stop her from pushing the buttons, [B]"..maybe you shouldn't press that,"[/B] and then suddenly, the screen flashed brightly and an arrow came up, pointing in the direction of their left.

[B]"Aha!"[/B] Falcomon replied, [B]"Your Digivice must've found the others already!" [/B] He then lightly touched Ayana's wrist and pulled it towards that direction, [B]"Come on, Aya-chan! Let's go find them!"[/B]

She moaned and sighed, then letting Falcomon pull her through the maze while Stephen was holding Swimmon, following and running right behind them.

[B]"Well, I guess he [I]is[/I] helping me,"[/B] she thought, [B]"I suppose I shouldn't be too harsh on him..."[/B] And then the thought ran through her mind.. others? How many others? Was this some sort of coincidence.. or fate that brought them together?

[B]"Oh well,"[/B] she shrugged, [B]"At least this saves me from the boredem of staying at home all by myself."[/B][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Ellerby]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]After walking for a few minutes, Swimmon spoke aloud, breaking the long silence.

"Stephen, I hear people talking," the fish said, nodding in the direction he heard the voices. This also happened to be the direction the arrow on Ayana's digivice was pointing in. "Over there."

The blonde boy walked forward a little and put his handin a cuff around his hear. He listened intently, hoping to hear human voices. He did.

"He's right! Ayana! There are other [i]normal[/i] people there." he yelped. Falcomon replied abruptly.

"What do you mean [i]normal[/i]? I'm normal!" he said. But Stephen and Swimmon had already ran ahead. Ayana was giggling at the sarcastic bird. Coming out of the bushes, Stephen spotted three humans. People just like himself.

The first one was a tomboyish looking girl dressed in tight boy's clothes. Next to her was a tall boy with brown spiky hair. He wore a bomber jacket and aviator goggles on his head. Beside him was a pretty looking girl with long silvery hair. All three of them looked at Stephen and Swimmon with blank faces.

"Err... hello." said the boy. Stephen blushed and waved at them, realizing how much of an idiot he must've looked like running through those bushes. Ayana finally caught up behind him, running along side Falcomon. She smiled, happy that she wasn't the only girl there.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=darkred][size=1]

Mike scrambled around on the ground, frantic and afraid of his surroundings. The strange jungle and the obvious disturbance of a talking monster all made him very uneasy. [I] ?This has gotta be a dream... Did I pass out or something??[/I] he though to himself. The small dragon-like creature began approaching him slowly, and seemingly trying it?s best not to startle Mike.

[color=black][b] ?Master... please allow me to explain things to you. As I said before, I am Ryuudamon. I am a Digimon. You have been transported to this, the Digital World for a very important reason, as the Digivice and Crystal have chosen you, as I have been chosen myself to protect and help you...?[/b][/color] Ryuudamon spoke slowly and understandingly towards Mike, his tone reflecting a high intelligence.

Mike looked shocked for a moment, trying to comprehend what the creature was saying, and trying to figure out if he had gotten a second-hand high from some druggie at the gym. Then something clicked and he looked down to his hands, which held the small dark-grey device, and his other which held a black crystal. He began thinking of the events that had just unfolded and still felt terrified. [b] ?What do you mean you were chosen to... protect me??[/b] he asked slowly, and still highly baffled.

[color=black][b] ?Hm... I am a warrior digimon, and I was chosen to help the digidestined of Love in his quest... all things will be explained, my lord. You must first, though, find your fellow digidestined. You should be able find them using your digivice.?[/b][/color]. Ryuudamon gestured his head towards the device in Mike?s right hand, causing him to look at it once more. [color=black][b] ?Just press the second button down on the front, and you should be able to locate your fellow digidestined.?[/b][/color]

Mike gave Ryuudamon a confused glare and a raised eyebrow. Then looking down to the digivice, he pressed the button, causing a small map with flashing red dots to appear on the screen. Mike?s head jerked back slightly in discovery and noticed that the red dots were clustered together. [b] ?So... this thing is a tracker or something??[/b]

[b][color=black] ?On top of other things, yes, m?lord.?[/b][/color]. Ryuudamon nodded as if in a bow.

[b] ?Listen, if you?re real, or whatever, and if you?re gonna be following me around... then call me Mike... all that ?my lord? crap is weirding me out.?[/b] Mike gave a mock frown.

[color=black][b] ?As you wish master...?[/b][/color] Ryuudamon replied, causing Mike to breath a sigh.

[b] ?Well... let?s go.?[/b] he said, still afraid and unsure of the entire situation. Mike figured if it was a dream, he might as well play along. And if it wasn?t.... then at least he?d be getting some answers.

After a bit of walking, the pair began hearing the voices of other humans. Mike began running in the direction of the voices, dodging bushes and tree branches as Ryuudamon kept up. Soon, the voices were very near and the two began slowing down into a patient walk. Mike emerged from the bushes, delighted to see a group of normal people, but also a bit taken back by the monsters with them.

Mike stepped forward and waved slightly to the group who had barely noticed him. Mike opened his mouth and said dryly,[b] ?Yo...?[/b][/color][/size]

[Blayze]

[b][size=1]"So tell me, KoKabuterimon," [/size][/b][size=1]said Alex calmly, [b]"What exactly is this Digital World?"

"Exactly what it says on the tin, my good friend," [/b]replied the Digimon, [b]"It's a Digital World, formed from Digital coding, and inhabited by the Digimon, or Digital Monsters, also formed from Digital coding. It's all very simple if you think about it logically."

"Ah..." [/b]said Alex, now thinking that he had kind of asked an obvious question, [b]"So, where exactly are we going?"

"To meet the others."

"Other what?" [/b]asked Alex, although he feared he was asking another stupid question. Sure enough, KoKabuterimon stopped walking and turned around.

[b]"The other DigiDestined, of course," [/b]he replied, somewhat sarcastically, [b]"The other people Destined to help the Digital World by using their partner Digimon to help them."

"So I'm one of these...DigiDestined?" [/b]asked Alex.

[b]"Of course you are! Otherwise you would never have entered the Digital World. That thing you found in your pocket is a Digivice, and you should have a crystal as well. They show us that you are a DigiDestined. Isn't that great?"

"I suppose. So I'm supposed to help, what save the Digital World?" [/b]said Alex, a little confused about his role in all this, [b]"Is it in danger?"

"You could say that. Ah, here we are!" [/b]said KoKabuterimon with delight. He pulled away a cluster of branches, and revealed a small clearing, crowded with people. Human people. Alex gasped. So the little insect was telling the truth. There were others like him.

[b]"Here are the rest of the DigiDestined," [/b]announced KoKabuterimon, and Alex saw that they were surrounded by creatures of a similar size of KoKabuterimon, but ones that looked entirely different.

[b]"Um, hi," [/b]said Alex a little nervously, with a small wave thrown in for good measure. It remained to be seen how he was greeted by the others...

[b]OOC: [/b]Sorry for the lateness and crappiness of this post, I've been without internet connection the past couple of days and this is about all I can manage in terms of a reply at the moment.
[/size]

[Jokopoko]

[size=1][color=teal]It had been about half an hour since all the [i]Digidestined[/i], as the Digimon were calling them, had gathered together in the large clearing. He wasn?t sure how but it seemed Tristan had been made the unofficial head speaker as when ever questions were asked it was down to himself or Flamon to answer them.

[b]?So we?ve figured out that we?re all digital now...?[/b] He said, though it still sounded crazy to him.

[b]?I really think we?ve done that to death.?[/b] Said the red headed girl, Quincy her name was.

[b]?Hey, we said we?d go over the basics again okay?? Tristan replied defensively, [b]?Anyway, I think what?s obvious is that these Digimon think we?re special or something because they keep going on about how special we all are what with these [i]?Digivices?[/i] and those crystals.?[/b] He said as he indicate his own set, prompting everyone else to do so as well.

Tristan took another breath but was interrupted by the large fish Digimon.[/color]

[color=blue][b]?Sorry to butt in like this but we all should be moving right now. We don?t want ChaosLucemon to find us already now do we??[/b][/color] [color=teal]Swimmon was met with blank stares from the Digidestined, which gave him cause to sigh.[/color] [color=blue][b]?Just believe me when I say we don?t want that to happen.?[/b][/color]

[color=teal]Given that they were in a completely new world, with talking monsters, and they were now made of digital data, none of the kids were inclined to disagree with Swimmon. Before they set off it was decided that they should pool together all of their supplies, though given they were all plucked out of the world in relatively normal places they didn?t have much to get on with.

[center]~*~[/center]

Having Swimmon as the guide, heading toward an area known as the Central Index, the group had been making quite good time. Though they all seemed to have paired off with their Digimon for now.

[b]?So where is we?re actually going, Flamon??[/b] Tristan asked.[/color]

[color=darkred][b]?Well the Central Index...erm yeah, it?s like this....place...where, there?s a lot of...good Digimon?[/b][/color] [color=teal]Tristan gave him a sceptical, yet humours look, as they continued to talk. Glancing around he saw that all the other Digidestined had also started to bond with there partners.

He was about to ask Mike what he thought of this place, the two of them seemed to have made friends easier, but he seemed distracted by something in the sky.

[b]?Erm, guys? What the hell is that thing??[/b] He said pointing toward the sky at a great black shape with even greater black wings. Before anyone could respond the thing had moved at lightning quick speed and crashed down in front of them.[/color]

[color=blue][b]?Oh no! That?s a Devidramon, a Champion level devil dragon Digimon. We?d better watch out for his Crimson Nail and Dark Gale attacks or this trip will be cut short awfully fast.?[/b][/color]

[color=teal]As one the Digimon partners leapt in front of their charges and readied themselves for a fight.

[center]~*~[/center]

[b]OOC:[/b] I?ll let you lot do the fight, any one can give Flamon and Tristan something to do until I post, have fun.[/color][/size]

[Blayze]

[b][size=1]"Oh no," [/size][/b][size=1]groaned KoKabuterimon, [b]"I can't handle Devidramon right now. In fact, I don't think I can handle him at all." [/b]The little beetle-person waddled off into the bushes, whimpering a little. Alex looked to the devil dragon Digimon in front of him, then to his own Digimon in the bushes.

[b]"I'll be right back, guys," [/b]he shouted above the noise of Devidramon slashing the air in front of itself with it's sharp, red claws. Alex disappeared into the bushes after his partner Digimon, trying to find him to comfort him.

[b]"KoKabuterimon," [/b]he said, approaching the Digimon, [b]"You seem to be a powerful fighter, and I can't make you use your power if you don't want to. I used to be like you. I'm a strong guy, I used to use my strength to get what I wanted from others. But a good man told me that it was wrong to do that. He told me the right way to use my strength is to protect the people I care about. Now, I haven't known these others for long, but I would already consider them my friends. I don't know about you, but I would do anything to protect someone I called my friend. So, are you ready to do what is right with your strength?"

[/b]KoKabuterimon looked up at Alex, and made some kind of odd motion with his mandibles, that Alex supposed was probably a smile.

[/size][b][size=1]"I'm ready," [/size][/b][size=1]he said with a nod. He rushed out of the bushes back into the clearing where Devidramon had attacked.[/size]

[b][size=1]"Crimson Nail!" [/size][/b][size=1]the Digimon hissed, slashing at Falcomon, the bird Digimon that was partnered with the girl called Ayana. The Digimon fell from the sky, falling towards the ground, which she would hit at an alarming speed.

But KoKabuterimon was there, right underneath her, and he caught the bird Digimon in his arms, settling her down on the ground.

[b]"Alright, you big bully," [/b]he said to Devidramon, building up his courage even though the dark Digimon was towering over him, [b]"It's time you got a taste of your own medicine."

[/b]He looked towards the devil dragon, and raised his arms, aiming them at the Digimon that was attacking his new friends. His eyes narrowed, and he shouted:

[b]"Beetle Lariat!"

[/b]Sharp barbs fired from KoKabuterimon's forearms, flying towards Devidramon and slamming into his arms. He cried out in pain, rearing up, and Tristan shouted:

[b]"Come on, Flamon! You can help him!" [/b]The Digimon looked and smiled, before turning to face Devidramon.

[b]"Flame Toss!" [/b]he shouted, gathering a small blaze into his hands, and hurling it at Devidramon's exposed underbelly, the flames smashing into the evil Digimon, knocking it onto it's back.

[b]"Haha!" [/b]laughed Tristan, [b]"Take that, you big weirdo! We sure showed him, huh guys?"

"Um, Tristan," [/b]said Mike calmly, [b]"I don't think it's over, somehow."

[/b]He was right. The devil dragon was getting back to it's feet, hurt but apparently unhindered by the small Digimon attacks. But it was angry now.

[b]"I guess we're going to need more than that to beat it," [/b]sighed KoKabuterimon...
[/size]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1][B]"Shit, I don't believe this..." [/B] Quincy cursed under her breath. Only Kotemon seemed to hear and he glanced up at her indifferently, his shinai resting in the dirt.

[B]"I quite agree, unfortunately, we have to do something about it. Don't want to die now, do we?"[/B]

[B]"Well, I hadn't planned on it..."[/B] Quincy stared up at the looming Digimon above the group, squinting against the harsh rays of digital sunlight coming through the trees.

[B]"Have at it, I guess. I can't do much."[/B]

Kotemon nodded and sped forward, launching himself past the other Digimon to bring his shinai down heavily between Devidramon's eyes. Unfortunately, the effect only momentarily dazed the larger Digimon, before he let out a cry and swatted Kotemon aside as if he were an insect.

Quincy yelped and sprinted forward, only managing to throw herself to the floor as Kotemon landed, giving him a marginally softer landing than he would have had before. He looked down at the wheezing redhead and scoffed, jumping to his feet again.

[B]"See, now, what you just did was very stupid."

"You could thank me, you know."[/B] Quincy snarled, kneeling up and gasping for much needed air. Her lungs burned and she immediately regretted what she had done. She turned her head to look at her Digimon, only met by those unnerving yellow eyes.

[B]"What you did wasn't exactly smart, either."[/B]

[B]"...Hn."[/B] Kotemon stalked off toward Flamon, still keeping an eye on Devidramon as the others attempted weakly to bring him down.

[B]"Flamon, we need to do something fast. Unless one of us manages to Digivolve, we're dead. And all is lost."[/B]

Flamon winced at the harsh truth and looked over his shoulder at Tristan, the young boy standing so bravely despite what he must be feeling.

[B]"I'll...see what I can do."[/B]

[B]OOC: Pooooh, sorry. That sucked. But hopefully moved us along? =D?[/B][/SIZE]

[Zen]

[color=darkred][size=1]

Mike looked up to the events playing out before him, and the enormous dragon-monster in disbelief. He leaned over to Triston slowly, highly confused. [b] ?Dude... I must tripping balls or something... I mean... What the hell is going on?!?[/b] Mike?s calmness had broken into a slight panic.

[b] ?I can?t make much sense out of all this either, but it is for real.?[/b] Triston tried to calm Mike?s nerve while Flamon and the other?s fought the large beast viciously. Ryuudamon stood by Mike?s side impatiently. He was anxious to join the battle, however his first priority was Michael?s protection.

He attempted to speak, but was cut off as Michael began again. [b] ?Nah, man. You could be a dream... all this stuff. I must?ve gotten heat exhaustion or some shit, passed out. This stuff is way to crazy, man. Hah.?[/b] Mike sat back with a look of disbelief on his face.

[b] ?Listen, friend. I?m just as real as you are.?[/b] Triston?s words brought sense back to Mike?s face, and he looked to him with a slight concern.

[b] ?Then how do you explain this, man? For real, this is like...?[/b]

[b] ?Unbelievable?? [/b]Triston spoke, cutting Mike?s words off. [b] ?I can?t believe it either, but some how... we gotta stick together, got it??[/b]

Mike looked down to Ryuudamon who looked back with his eager eyes, and then back to Triston. [b] ?Heh. Whatever man. Might as well play along and try not to die.?[/b] Michael looked back down to Ryuudamon. [b] ?You look like you need some action. Got get it, homie.?[/b] Mike smiled at Ryuudamon?s silent nod of reverence and ran into the battle along with the other Digimon.

Meanwhile, whilst Ryuudamon attacked with strange fireballs from his mouth directed at the large enemy, it seemed as if Flamon was concentrating upon himself deeply. The rest of the Digimon began protecting his position. Mike was confused by these actions, but thought it wasn?t make much less sense than anything else going on. The rest of the group of humans all seemed highly concerned with the situation. Mike wondered if all this really was as real as they said.

Michael began thinking to himself, and at how he was not the main stage of this fantasy world. This caused him to believe less and less that this was a realistic dream, and that it was a strange, but actual reality. This feeling grew stronger and stronger, as he watched Ryuudamon?s movements in battle, and recalled his concern for Mike?s own well being. Dodging attacks and countering with a ferocity, Mike?s perspective changed on the little dragon.

[b] ?Ry...Ryuudamon!?[/b] Mike yelled out to the digimon.

Ryuudamon leapt back and replied without looking. [b][color=black] ?Yes, m?lord?!?[/b][/color]

[b] ?Kick his ass, guy!?[/b] Mike yelled with a smirk and smile.

Ryuudamon let out a strange laugh as he dodged another attack. [color=black][b] ?I shall try my best, master.?[/b][/color]

Mike laughed at the little monster's bravery.[/color][/size]

[Jokopoko]

[size=1][color=teal][b]OOC:[/b] Just a note Mike this Elelmental Digivolution thing is gonna be like ?bang!? and no one knows what?s happening so the Digimon wouldn?t be protecting Flamon ^^;;.

[center]~*~[/center][/color]
[color=blue][b]?Slash Fin!?[/b][/color] [color=teal]Swimmon cried as he flung himself at the Devidramon, making deep cuts as he went. It didn?t seem to faze the dragon, on the contrary, it just severed to enrage him even more as he launched another attack at the group, which narrowly missed Tristan as he bailed into Ayana.

[b]?Hey, watch it!?[/b] She shouted at him as she picked up Falcomon, even though he was clearly hurt the little bird Digimon was wrestling to get out of her arms and continue the fight.

[b]?Sorry, next time there?s a deadly attack coming toward me I?ll just stand there alright!??[/b] Tristan retorted hotly. Stephen came running up to them with Swimmon in tow.

[b]?Look, we can?t afford to be fighting right now. Swimmon says that even with all of our Digimon?s power combined we?re not going to able to take this thing down, we need to...what was it...Digivolve or something.?[/b] From a little ways off a shout from Mike came: [b]?What the hell is Digivolution, and how - oh shit!?[/b]

Everyone?s head snapped to look at what Mike was pointing at. Lucemon was sprawled on the ground and Kazuki was trying to pull him out of harms way. Unfortunately Devidramon seemed to have noticed this was as a wicked smile had crept across its muzzle and it headed straight for the downed pair. No one was within reach to act immediately and it seemed as if all they could do was watch as this evil Digimon struck down on of there own, so early in the adventure. With a flash of realisation Tristan looked over to Flamon and, coming to a silent agreement, the two of them began rushing full pace towards Devidramon. The closer the got the brighter Tristan?s Digivice glowed with a brilliant red light.

Feeling in his pocket he saw that the Crystal was glowing with the same light and he knew what he had to do.

[center][b]?Elemental Digivolution, Engage!?[/b][/center]

With the two Digivice in his right hand and the Crystal in his left Tristan struck both of his hands forward. Bringing them closer together he pointed the head of the Digivice at the Crystal and watched as the Crystal seemed to be absorbed into the Digivice. Feeling the energy contained within the Digivice Tristan closed other of his hands around it and, now feeling the intense heat pouring out of it, he aimed the Digivice toward Flamon and a rush of red energy shot out and engulfed his Digimon Partner.[/color]

[center][color=darkred][b]?Flamon, Elemental Digivolve too...?[/b][/color][/center]

[color=teal]The energy wrapped itself around Flamon and it seemed to warp and change his shape until the small bear like child that was Flamon had vanished and what was in his place resembled a humanoid Dragon clasped in golden armour.[/color]

[center][color=darkred][b]?Infernodramon, The Flames of Fortitude!?[/b][/color][/center]

[color=teal]The collective silence was broken when Mike whistled and said: [b]?Niiiiice?[/b]

Tristan looked up at the huge Digimon and was lost for words for a second or two, but before he could say anything Swimmon chirped in.[/color] [color=blue][b]?Wow, this is Infernodramon. The Elemental Warrior of Fire and be glad he?s on our side. His Blazing Elemental attack is no joke.?[/b][/color]

[color=teal]Luckily it seemed that this sudden transformation had confused the Devidramon as well because if it hadn?t it would have surely eliminated Kazuki and Lucemon by now. Making this slight pause an advantage the newly formed Infernodramon shot toward Devidramon at blinding speed and quickly tossed him clear from the troubled pair before beginning his attack on the creature.[/color]

[color=darkred][b]?Flaming Strike!?[/b][/color]

[color=teal]Flames covered Infernodramons arms as he began to furiously strike the Devidramon into submission as Tristan looked on with a feeling of pride, it was because of him that Infernodramon had appeared and saved Kazuki and Lucemon. It looked as though Infernodramon was winning because Devidramon hadn?t moved since Infernodramon had let up his attack, taking advantage of this Infernodramon created a sword of flames and drove into the core of Devidramon and watched as its digital code fragmented into the air.

There was a flash of light and weakened looking Flamon was standing where Infernodramon had been. Tristan ran up to him and caught him as he fell a little from the exhaustion.[/color]

[color=darkred][b]?How did I do??[/b][/color] [color=teal]Flamon asked with a weak smile.

[b]?You did great.?[/b] Tristan said, beaming at him

[center]~*~[/center]

[b]OOC:[/b] That?s the effective end of this episode but I?d like for someone to post us getting away from the battle area or something so I can get episode two going. Hope you lot are enjoying this.[/color][/size]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Kazuki had frozen as Devidramon headed toward them, her body seized up with fear, and Lucemon lying on the ground weakly. She closed her eyes, she couldn't do anything, and this is how she would meet her fate, she never thought this would be the way.

[B]"Elemental Digivolution, Engage!"[/B]

She opened her eyes, looking to the side to see Flamon bounding toward them, Tristan sprinting behind him, digivice and crystal in hand as he put them together. Kazuki and the others watched in awe as Flamon was surrounded by red light and slowly changed shape, being revealed as Infernodramon.

Devidramon changed his course and headed toward Infernodramon instead, giving Kazuki and Lucemon a chance to escape. Kazu hauled her digimon up, and pushing him into the air. Amazingly he flapped into the air, though weakly. She grabbed his hand and ran out of the way of the duking digimon.

Finally Infernodramon finished off the dark creature, reverting back to Flamon. Tristan held the exhausted cub in his arms, walking back to the others as Kazuki slowly joined them, making sure Lucemon was ok as he knelt on the ground.

[B]"Thanks Tristan, Flamon, you really saved us."[/B] Kazuki said, voice full of relief.

[B]"It's fine. Is everyone else ok?"[/B] he asked the group that had gathered.

Looking around, all the digimon were tired and most were hurt from trying to battle Devidramon. But after a quick check with the digimon, everyone reported they were alright to keep going.

[B]"Let's get out of here as fast as we can, that Devidramon might've had allies..."[/B] Stephen suggested wisely.

They all agreed and continued through the light forest area, everyone had their eyes peeled. Kazuki walked beside Tristan who was still carrying Flamon. Lucemon was leaning his weight on Kazu, opting to walk instead of flying.

[B]"That was amazing. How did you know what to do?"[/B] she questioned, asking about the digivolution.

[B]"I really don't know, it just....came to me."[/B] he explained, smiling.

[B]"That's cool, so now we know what the crystals are for."[/B] producing her own golden tinged crystal.

[B]"Look, we're almost out of the forest."[/B] Ayana commented.

Everyone looked ahead, the exit was right in front of them, they all wondered what other trials lay ahead of them.[/COLOR]

[size=2][color=dimgrey][center][b][u]?Unbreakable Prudence: Galvamon Strikes!?[/u][/b][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=teal]~*~

?After defeating the Devidramon agent of ChaosLucemon the Digidestined quickly escaped from the dense jungle they had found themselves in. After a few days of travel they came across what appears to be a huge city, easily dwarfing the likes of New York or Tokyo. Throwing caution to the wind they decide to investigate, because they all feel somewhat safer in an urban centre than an endless jungle.?

?What they don?t know is that they are not alone here...?

~*~[/center]

They?d found the city a few hours ago and had so far found no evidence of another living creature, or a digital one for that matter. It was as if the entire place as empty accept for the Digidestined and their partners, Stephen had suggested earlier that they all split up into groups to better cover the city, but Quincy had pointed out that there wasn?t anyway for them to remain in contact if they did do that. Eventually they?d come across a large shopping centre and were surprised to see that it was actually fully stoked with all the usual things that they would be needing to survive. Given that they were now in one building and could easily find each other they followed up on Stephen ideas of splitting up to have a look around.

Enzeru and Michael said they?d have a look around the top floor and hurried off with their partners.

Alex and Kazuki agreed to have a look around the middle section of the building, mainly looking for camping supplies and the like.

This left Tristan, Quincy and Stephen to look around the bottom floor, their main target being food of any description. After some silent searching Tristan decided to break the silence.

[b]?Well this certainly is a...big, big city.?[/b] Tristan said, earning a sigh from Stephen and rolled eyes from the Quincy, followed by an elbow in the ribs from Flamon. [b]?It is though.?[/b] He said defensively. Tristan asked Flamon if the Digital World was as random as he thought, ranging from dense jungles one second to a sprawling city the next.[/color]

[color=darkred][b]?I wonder as much as you do, I?ve been around for very long y?see, none of us has. I guess you could say we were made just for you lot.?[/b][/color] [color=teal]Flamon chuckled to himself at this last comment. It was now Tristan?s turn to sigh.

[b]?Is it me or is this place monumentally boring??[/b] Stephen said to no one in particular.

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]The echo of elevator music repeated itself in Stephen's head, almost driving him insane. He plugged his ears as he walked around the bottom floor with Quincy, Tristan and their partners. Finally the tune got to him and he erupted.

"Don't they have any other music?!" he yelled. "God!" just then, the music changed. It wasn't anything special, but at least it was different.

"Better." he said calmly. Swimmon, who was floating beside him, looked at his partner.

"Do you explode like that often?" he asked Stephen. The blonde boy laughed and scratched the back of his head.

"Nah, I just wish it didn't sound like.."

"Like a grocery store?" Quincy finished, pointing out the stupidity in what Stephen was saying. It [i]was[/i] a grocery store.

"Yeah.." he muttered quietly. Flamon and Tristan both laughed. Then the group stopped. Quincy had haulted them with her arms in front of everyone.

"Guys, check around this isle." she said. "This is all food and we didn't even notice." And so, under Quincy's command, everyone split up throughout the isle, gathering as much food as they could and bringing it back to the shopping cart they had found. Most of the food was stuff you used to make food taste better, not eat alone. This included Jam, Peanut Butter, chocolate milk mix, salsa and even a can of pickles.

"Not exactly decedant." said Stephen. Quincy plugged her nose and agreed. Tristan picked up the pickles, looking on the bottom.

"These," he said slowly. "are expired." [/FONT][/COLOR]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1]Quincy sighed and plopped down on the floor, noting with some happiness that the preservatives such as jam and peanut butter were still okay. Somehow, she just knew. The date wasn't what it would be in the real world, but she had come to realise that it was to be expected.

She looked up at the younger boys and tossed a jar of peanut butter to Tristan. [B]"Perhaps we can spread some on a stick.?[/B] she grumbled, resting her elbows on her spread knees.

Tristan shrugged and Flamon laughed softly, inspecting the jam, [B]"You never know...it could take quite nice."[/B]

[B]"And my telling you to shut the hell up is affectionate."[/B] Quincy scowled, craning her neck around to see if there was anything more entertaining in the isle. Stephen, apparently not happy with the depressing tone, walked off toward a small magazine rack.

Kotemon ignored all this and kept his cool gaze focused on Quincy, tapping his shinai against her shoe softly. "Why the fierce temper?" he asked, almost gently.

Quincy turned her head to look at him, but didn't make an attempt to stop the knocking of the bamboo sword. [B]"I find it hard to be anything but pessimistic in this situation. Sorry."[/B]

[B]"You should apologise to Flamon, not me."[/B]

Quincy sighed and brushed some hair back from her eyes, standing up once again. It was then she noticed that they boys and there Digimon were all crowded together, apparently trying to explain what exactly a motorbike was. Quincy sighed again, opened the peanut butter, and ate thoughtfully. It was better than nothing.

[B]OOC: Blerg. Happy now, Will? x_x[/B][/SIZE]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]The group decided they'd split up, Kazuki and Alex headed for the stairs, scaling them quickly, their two digimon flew up them swiftly, already waiting for them at the top by the time they got to the level.

[B]"Hm, so we're supposed to be looking for camping stuff."[/B] Kazu said aloud, looking at all of the stores.

[B]"Where do we start?"[/B] Alex questioned with a frown.

[B]"Uhhhh, well....how about we just try each store and see what we find?"[/B] Kazu grinned nervously, she really didn't have any idea what they should do and that seemed logical enough.

Alex smiled and nodded, the small party of four wandered into the shop closest to them and immediately sighed, it was a hair salon. They turned to exit when Kazuki thought of something, walking further in until she came to the back. Going through some drawers she found a load of combs and scissors which could come in handy. She shoved them all into a plastic bag and signalled to Alex to move on to the next shop.

The next place happened to be a newsagent, they randomly grabbed books and magazines, they could come in handy for reading when bored, or for lighting fires. While there they swiped candy from the front counter, having some themselves as they traversed to the following store.

They froze as they looked upon the next shop, a look of remorse crossed their face as they saw that it was an optic store. They sighed, looking at each other.

[B]"Maybe we should still check it out."[/B] KoKabuterimon suggested.

The humans shrugged and sauntered in. Alex went to the counter and searched through all of the drawers and Kazuki went into the back, looking for anything helpful. Minutes later she and Lucemon emerged empty handed, but Alex had decided to take some of the lint free cloths with them just in case.

Finally they were relieved to see that the next shop was in fact a camping store. The four of them went wild, taking bunches of everything, as much as they could carry. Kazuki herself had a couple of plastic bags full of things from other store, plus a number of sleeping bags hanging off her arms and a pile of bug nets. Lucemon was hauling another bunch of sleeping bags and a tent kit. Looking across the store she saw Alex and KoKabuterimon with more tent kits and a bag of flashlights with packs of extra batteries. They were examining a set of pots and pans and decided to grab them in case. They couldn't carry any more and decided to leave for now, and hopefully come across some trolleys, then maybe they'd collect more stuff on their way back.

Kazuki groaned under the weight of everything, but she was determined to keep going because Alex seemed unaffected, walking normally. Lucemon was flying lower than normal because he was half weighed down by everything being carried, but watched KoKabuterimon lumbering along as usual and forced himself to flap back up to his regular height. The two looked at each other with a smile, hurrying a little to keep up with the other two.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC:[/B] There, now stop bugging me, Will. Sorry about the length....><;;

[Blayze]

[size=1]Alex, Kazuki, Lucemon and KoKabuterimon had long since accepted that they weren't getting all this stuff back to the others without some kind of assistance. They were now sitting with their backs against a sturdy steel girder that was holding part of the roof up, wishing that they had been sent to find food.

[b]"I'm so thirsty," [/b]said Kazuki, [b]"I haven't had a drink since...since I don't know when..."

"If we can get this stuff back to the others, I'm sure one of them will have found something to drink by now," [/b]replied Alex, [b]"And KoKabuterimon and Lucemon seem hungry. Maybe they'll have found some food as well."

"But how can we get all this stuff back to the others? Lucemon and I can barely move carrying it all," [/b]complained KoKabuterimon.

[b]"It's alright, little fella," [/b]said Alex, smiling and giving KoKabuterimon an affectionate pat on the head, [b]"Why don't I try carrying it?"

"No, Alex, it's too heavy," [/b]said Kazuki, [b]"You'll hurt yourself."

"I'm pretty strong, in case you hadn't noticed," [/b]he replied with a smile, [b]"And my uncle always told me to use my strength to help my friends. That's what I plan to do."

[/b]Alex jogged away, leaving Kazuki sitting against the girder. KoKabuterimon started after him, but he turned around and called:

[b]"Just stay right there. I'll be back in a minute."

[/b]As he left Kazuki and the two Digimon with slightly puzzled expressions on their faces, Alex jogged into a camping shop that they had been into before, but this time he grabbed as many rucksacks as he could, and carried them all back to the other three.

[b]"This should make carrying things a little easier," [/b]he said, bundling everything they had collected into the bags. Eventually, they had about six full bags, which Alex hauled onto his shoulders. The straps wrapped around his broad chest in various directions, and soon he was laden with the bags. There were also a couple of half-full bags, which Kazuki had offered to carry, and KoKabuterimon and Lucemon had arms full of stuff as well.

[b]"Come on, guys," [/b]he said, [b]"Let's get moving!"

[/b]The ragtag gang set off back to find the main bulk of the group, laden with pots, pans and other such accessories they had acquired.[/size]

[Zen]

[b]AND WE'RE BACK![/b]



[color=darkred][size=1]

Michael expressed awe and ecstatic disbelief as he smiled to himself, taking in the empty, but very modern mall. [b] ?Ha! This is awesome! All for the taking, baby!?[/b] Michael laughed and looked up towards the ceiling, holding his arms out and grinning. [b] ?Ain?t this shit crazy!??[/b] Michael looked back to the uninterested Angel. She walked forwards, but looking off to the side. She held her left arm with her right hand. Beside her, the energetic Falcomon followed.

[b][color=black] ?Master, should we not search out for some kind of useful supplies as our comrades did??[/b][/color] Ryuudamon chimed in.

[b] ?In a minute, haha. Let?s check this place out??[/b] with that, Michael made a turn into a large clothing-and-shoe shop. [b] ?Ooooh!?[/b] Michael exclaimed loudly, [b] ?These are my shit!?[/b] he hollered happily as he bounced over towards the men?s shoe rack, examining several pairs of expensive sneakers. As he began changing into a pair of bright red and white sneakers, Angel poked her head quietly into the store.

[b] ?What are you doing???[/b] she questioned in a whisper.

[b] ?Hm??[/b] Michael looked up to her with a raised eyebrow. [b] ?Oh, I?m getting some new shoes! Why don?t you hook yourself up??[/b]

[b] ?Yeah! Loosen up, Angel!?[/b] Falcomon chirped jestingly.

[b] ?I do not care for these things??[/b] Angel replied quietly.

[b] ?Whatever then, heh. Suit yourself.?[/b]

[b][color=black] ?Master! If I may, I don?t believe these were the type of supplies our group req-?[/b][/color] Michael hushed Ryuudamon?s words by dropping a red Atlanta Brave?s fitted cap onto his lizard-like head.

[b] ?Rock that, bud. Matter fact, I?ll be right back. I?m gonna see if I can?t freshen up my look??[/b] with that, Michael stepped back into a dressing room with an arm full of clothing.

Falcomon stepped over to Angel and nudged her slightly. [b] ?Why don?t you brighten up, Angel? You seem so down!?[/b]

[b] ?I?m not down? I just don?t see what you?re trying to accomplish here. There is important work to be done.?[/b] she replied.

[b] ?Girl!?[/b] Michael?s voice bellowed from the dressing room. [b] ?Nothing is more important than looking good!?[/b] he shouted in an animated fashion as he leapt from the dressing room, now wearing a new outfit of black, white, and red.
Ryuudamon sighed to himself aside. [b][color=black] ?Master? let us gather the supplies now.?[/b][/color]

[b] ?I know what we can get.?[/b]

[b] ?And what?s that???[/b] Angel asked.

[b] ?I doubt anyone wants to be wearing the same damn thing the whole time we?re here. Let?s rig our people up with some clothes.?[/b]

[b] ?That sounds terrific!?[/b] Falcomon squeaked happily. Michael laughed, Ryuudamon sighed once again, and Angel simply nodded her head.

Moments later, the pair were walking out of the store, clothes piled up all around them all?.[/color][/size]
