RPG Digimon Eternity [M-LV]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

OOC: Darren's pretty busy right now, so he's having me start the RPG.

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

[color=darkslategray]Appearances can be decieving.[/color]

[color=darkslategray]Keralamon was quite familiar with this concept, as it applied to her. She didn't look too dangerous. Her basic body shape was human, yet she looked nothing like a human. Her skin was a whitish color, and there were several designs that looked a bit like elaborate tattoos but were actually part of her natural appearance. She was a little over six feet tall, and had long hair that was kind of a whitish-purple. Her eyes were blue, but even they had a non-human look about them. Keralamon had gold rings on her wrists, and similar rings on her ankles.[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]Looking at Keralamon, one wouldn't think that she was too dangerous, but this was not the case. Keralamon was quite powerful, and could be very dangeous indeed. She wasn't a good one to pick a fight with.[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]Keralamon entered the chamber and stoped before the figure at the other end. "What is it?" she asked.[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]"Ah, Keralamon," the figure replied. "Yes. I have a task for you."[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]"What is it?"[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]"It has come to my attention that some of our number are traitors. I want them eliminated."[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]"How many?"[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]"I don't have an exact number," the figure said, "but it's not too many. And I'm pretty sure there's not a single Mega-level among them. Just Champions and a couple Ultimates, I think. Shouldn't be any trouble for you."[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]"Not if your assessment is accurate," Keralamon agreed. "Have you managed to identify any of them?"[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]"Yes," the figure said. "I know the identities of two of them. Follow them and don't let them see you. They should lead you to the rest of the traitors. And when you find them..."[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]"I take them out," Keralamon finished. "I can handle it."[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]"I'm certain you can."[/color]



[color=purple]Aesera got herself a glass of water and sat down at the kitchen table, breathing heavily. She'sdjust returned from her daily run, and she needed to rest for a bit. Before long, there was movement to her left, and her partner, Tokomon, leapt onto the table.[/color]

[color=#800080]"You have a good run, Aesera?" Tokomon asked.[/color]

[color=#800080]Aesera nodded. "Yeah."[/color]

[color=#800080]Aesera reached into her pocked and removed a small device. She put it on the table and began examining it. Tokomon went over to it. "What is it?"[/color]

[color=#800080]"I don't know," Aesera said. "I found it during my run. I have no idea what it is or what it was doing on the side of the road. I found this, too," she added, setting another object on the table beside the first one.[/color]

[color=#800080]Tokomon inspected the device. "Hmm... oh! This is a- no, it- well, of course it does."[/color]

[color=#800080]"Tokomon?" Aesera prompted.[/color]

[color=#800080]"Huh? Oh, sorry, Aesera. I think this is a digivice. The other thing is a tag, and you can see it has a small object inside, a crest."[/color]

[color=#800080]"A digivice?" Aesera repeated.[/color]

[color=#800080]"That's right! It doesn't look like the old digivices, but then, the first and second sets of digivices didn't look the same, so that's really not surprising. I-"[/color]

[color=#800080]"Calm down, Tokomon," Aesera said. "Seriously, don't get so excited." Aesera had to admit, though, that Tokomon's excitement wasn't surprising. The little guy was obsessed with the stories of the digital world and the Digidestined, and he knew basically everything there was to know about those legends. Of course he'd go nuts if he thought Aesera'd found a digivice.[/color]

[color=#800080]"Sorry," Tokomon replied. "It's just that there haven't been any of these in over fifty years. Can I take it?"[/color]

[color=#800080]Aulea nodded. "Sure, go nuts." Tokomon took the digivice and tag in his mouth and ran towards Aesera's bedroom. Aesera leaned back in her chair. [i]Why do I feel like I just made a mistake?[/i][/color]


[color=#800080]A while later, Aesera stood up and went to her room. She opened the door to find Tokomon on the floor with a number of books around him. Some looked like he'd been using them, while others looked like they'd just been thrown off the shelf. Tokomon had one book open in front of him. The digivice was sitting next to the book, with the tag beside it.[/color]

[color=#800080]Tokomon looked up as Aulea entered. "Sorry about the mess, Aesera. It's hard to get books off the shelf by myself."[/color]

[color=#800080]"And just what are you looking for?" Aesera asked.[/color]

[color=#800080]"I'm examining your crest," Tokomon said. "I'm trying to figure out what it's the crest of, but the symbol isn't one that's been used before. I'm looking at the old crests, seeing what the relation is between crest symbol and crest trait. If I do that, I might be able to figure out what trait your crest represents."[/color]

[color=#800080]"You're sure excited about this," Aesera observed. "You should really back down a bit. I mean, just because I found this thing, you're acting like we're in one of those old stories."[/color]

[color=#800080]"Well, you wouldn't have been given a digivice for no reason," Tokomon replied.[/color]

[color=#800080]"Oh, come on, Tokomon! I don't know what those two things are, but they aren't items out of the past. Nothing's going to-".[/color]

[color=#800080]Aesera was cut off by her computer, which made an odd noise as the screen started to glow. "Now what the hell?" Aesera muttered.[/color]

[color=#800080]Tokomon was going nuts. "It's- the digivice- we're going-". Suddenly, he ran out of Aesera's room. A few seconds later, Aesera could hear a lot of bonging around. [i]Now what?[/i] she wondered as she went to investigate.[/color]

[color=#800080]She found Tokomon in her parents' bedroom, rumaging around and making a mess of things. "What are you doing?" Aesera asked.[/color]

[color=#800080]"Give me a hand, Aesera," Tokomon said. "Where's your dad keep all that safety-food stuff?"[/color]

[color=#800080]Tokomon was referring to the stockpile of non-perishable food items Aesera's father always kept in the house. Her father was something of a consiracy theorist, and he was also somewhat paranoid. He was always afraid that some major disaster of some kind would occur, so he kept supplies around 'just in case'.[/color]

[color=#800080]"I think he keeps all that crap in the basement," Aesera told Tokomon. "What's going on, Tokomon?"[/color]

[color=#800080]"The basement? Grab your mom's hiking pack and come on. We need to hurry!"[/color]

[color=#800080]Tokomon ran out of the room. Aesera sighed, found her mom's hiking pack, and followed Tokomon to the basement. Tokomon immediately began piling supplies into the pack. "We're not going to go empty-handed," he said.[/color]

[color=#800080]"Go where?" Aesera asked. "Tokomon, please tell me just what the hell is going on?"[/color]

[color=#800080]"Hey, grab a bunch of those water bottles."[/color]

[color=#800080]Aulea got the water bottles and put them in the pack. "There. Now could you please tell me what's going on?"[/color]

[color=#800080]"A portal to the digital world opened!" Tokomon exclaimed. "Grab the pack and come on!" He ran up the stairs. Aulea closed the pack and put it on her back as she followed Tokomon back to her room. Her computer screen was still glowing. Tokomon took the tag and slipped it around Aesera's neck like a necklace. Aesera picked up the digivice at Tokomon's directon.[/color]

[color=#800080]Tokomon checked to make sure that Aesera had the pack. "Okay, we're ready," he said. "Hold your digivice up to the computer screen. Come on, do it!"[/color]

[color=#800080]"If I do it, will you calm down?" Aesera asked. Tokomon just stared at her. "Fine," Aesera said. she turned to face her computer and held her Digivice up to the screen. For a second, nothing happened, but then there was a flash and a bunch of bright lights, after which Aesera found herself face-down in grass. She picked herself up and looked around. She seemed to be in the woods somewhere, but the trees didn't look like anything on Earth. [i]Well, this is all nice and normal[/i],she thought.[/color]

[color=#800080]"I can't believe we're really here!" Tokomon exclaimed from beside Aesera. "Aesera, we're actually here!"[/color]

[color=#800080]"Yeah, I get it, we're here. You don't happen to know where 'here' is, do you?"[/color]

[color=#800080]"We're in the digital world! A portal opened in response to your digivice, and now we're here!"[/color]

[color=#800080][i]This can't be real, can it?[/i] Aesera wondered. [i]Well, I guess I should act like it is.[/i][/color]

[color=#800080]Tokomon had jumped onto Aesera's sholder and was looking at her Digivice. "What are you looking for?" Aesera asked.[/color]

[color=#800080]"The old digivices could detect other digivices. I'm guessing that this one can, too And it looks like it's indicating something over there," Tokomon said, pointing south. He jumped down from Aesera's sholder. "Let's go take a look!"[/color]

[color=#800080]Aesera didn't have any better ideas, so she nodded in agreement, and the two of them set off.[/color]

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

OOC: Okay, everyone, your characters should enter the digital world and meet up with each other.

Also, in addition to Aesera, I'll be taking on the role of Keralamon. You'll learn more about her in future posts, but I'll tell you now that she's one of the 'bad guys'. Right now, when I write as her, it'll provide a look at how our enemies work, how they're organized and stuff like that. You'll learn more as it happens.

All right, Darren will post as soon as he can. Until then I'll be running the RPG for him. So let's get this going.

"Ooh, pretty!" Viximon said, staring at the glowing computer screen. Brent had his back to the screen and his Digimon, packing up some hiking gear.

"Huh? Hey, that's odd..." Brent said, turning around to see what Viximon was talking about.

"It isn't supposed to do this?" She asked. Brent shook his head.

"Unless...I wonder where I put that thing..." Brent began, walking over to a book shelf and sorting through it. He eventually pulled a small steel lockbox off the shelf, and opened it up. He reached in, and pulled out a strange little device.

"Ooh, the digi-thingy! Does this mean I get to evolve now?" Viximon asked.

"Maybe." Brent replied, grabbing his backpack. He held out his hand, and Viximon leapt from his desk, to his hand, and ran up his arm to jump onto his head where she promptly settled down. He held his device towards the computer screen, and it flashed. For a moment, Brent thought he saw the same symbol that was on his crest. Bretn landed with an 'oof' and tried to roll with the landing. However, his backpack got in the way, causing him to skid along the ground. Viximon landed on all fours on his side. Brushing himself off, Brent got up and looked around as Viximon resettled herself. They appeared to be in some sort of a city area. But it was abandoned. Viximon began testing the air, sniffing it lightly.

"I smell someone...that way!" Viximon said, turning to face behind Brent. Brent turned around to see that the road they were on lead out to the edge of the city, to a forested area.

"Well then, let's find out who they are!" Brent said, walking towards the forest.

OCC- Sorry I basiclly used the extended version of my RP sample. I hope that is ok?
----------------------------

[COLOR=DarkRed]Adam was asleep in his bed. He felt a small spherical object bouncing on top of him. He groaned a bit and went back to sleep. The small thing bounced with more gusto this time and actually got Adam's attention.

"Stop...." he looked at the clock and laid his head back down, "It is 6:00 in the morning... on a saturday let me sleep for a little while longer."

He felt a stronger bounce followed by a small squeaky,New Yorker-like voice, "Get up!!!!"

"No... " said Adam queitly.

"Rolling Black!" said the small creature.

This knocked Adam off of the bed with a thud. He got up with a bit of a groan, "Yaamon, Why the hell did you do that for?"

"You should have got up when I asked... I was hungry anyways." said Yaamon looking at Adam with a mischivious smile and green eyes.

"All you had to do was ask..." said Adam with a quiet sigh.

"Yeah but this was more fun." he replied back.

Adam rose to his feet now totally awake. He headed towards the Kitchen. When he got to the kitchen he was a bit more active. His sole attention was cooking.

He has since gratuated High School but, he still likes to sleep in on Saturdays. He and Yaamon are best friends dispite out ward appearances. It has been 4 years since they had met. He has been writing a Manga on the events that happened sometime ago when there wasn't any digimon anywhere in the Real World.

"Hey, How bout some bacon,eggs and pancakes?" asked Adam a lot more upbeat.

Yaamon jump on the counter and replied, "Yeah, If you don't do it like last time. Nothing tastes worse then burnt bacon..."

Adam turned around with a smile and said quietly, "I wouldn't have burnt them if you hadn't distracted me. If you leave me alone for a few minutes I will make my special eggs."

"OKAY!!!" said Yaamon with no limited amount of glee.

As he said a few minutes later Adam came into the dining room with two plates. He laid one on the floor and one on the table. Yaamon hopped up to the plate on the ground.

"Why can't I sit at the table?" he asked.

Adam looked down as he put some bacon in his mouth, "Well, when you grow arms and legs you can sit at the table Yaamon you can sit at the table... Then maybe you can hold a fork... and if I didn't think you would hurt yourself a knife." he finished with a bit of a laugh.

"Whatever..." said Yaamon as he plowed into his food. When he got to the eggs which had a redish tint he stopped as his face turned red and he started to pant heavyly. "What the hell do you put in your eggs? They taste so good at first then they set you on fire."

Adam took a bottle of red liquid, "Yeah this batch got my special hot sauce. This has Habinaro juice... That is the hotess pepper there is..."

"I don't see how you are so cool seeing how you are eating LAVA!!!!" he yelled cooling down a bit.

"You'll get used to it." said Adam gulpping down the last of his eggs.

"Why are you so happy this morning?" asked Yaamon inquisitively.

"Remember the Manga I was thinking of sending in to Shonen Bounce?" asked Adam back.

"Yeah..."

"Well, I will finish it today. And when it is accepted we can get a better apartment. And I could quit my sucky job." He answered.

"That's awesome! It is about time we got out of this dump!" said Yaamon.

"Don't worry. Once I finish the script and it is accepted I will start drawing it." said Adam finishing his breakfast. "Now if I start now I can finish at 12:00 Noon so if you'll excuse me." He headed to his room and turned on his Computer.

Twelve O'clock rolled around and Adam finished as he said he would. "Yaamon! Behold my finished script!!!" said Adam yelling in exitement.

"Now to just print it and sent it in right?" asked Yaamon.

"Yup. What the...!?!" he said looking at his computer screen which was having some error messeges saying 'Overload- Data Overflow!' Covering his screen. Suddenly it started to glow and smoke.

"Whoa! Get down Yaamon!" said Adam covering Yaamon with his body.

Then the computer exploded spreading peices of it everywhere. After 30 seconds Adam rose up and let Yaamon out of the ball he had create.

"Thanks, Adam." said Yaamon a bit shaken.

"No problem." said Adam getting up and walking over to the blackened, melted computer. "It is all gone... All those months of Ideas... all those weeks of writing... and my computer blows up..." he said crying a bit.

"Hey, don't worry about it. You can rewrite it. The lines are inside your head right? Plus you have your notebook and pencil." said Yaamon trying to consol him.

"Your right..." said Adam next to the remains. He saw something strange in the tower. "What is this?" he took out a little thing that looks like a cell phone mixed with a little eletronic pet machine.

Yaamon's eyes dialated and said, "That is a digivice... You know what those are right?"

"Yeah, the characters in my manga have these. They look different though... What do you think this means?"

"I don't know but I have a feeling we will find out..." said Yaamon again.

Later that day, Adam had found he had enough money in the bank for a new computer. This actually pleased Yaamon as mush as Adam. "Why are you so happy?" asked Adam while he was setting up the computer.

"Ha! You don't know what is going on do ya?!" asked Yaamon back. "No, not really." said Adam snapping in the final cable. "But, whatever your happy about it can wait time to fire up this thing." he continued with no limited amount of glee. He swicth on the computer with the Digivice he found earlier next to the computer. It loaded and the screen started to glow. "OH! NO NOT AGAIN!!!" yelled Adam. But, instead of exploding it just glowed. "What the ?" he said. He noticed the digivice. "Is this thing interfering with the comp?" he asked himself.

Yaamon exclaimed, "What told you that? The digivice just opened a portal to the digial World." "Digital World? I don't know... It is too much like the stuff I write about. But... Still..." said Adam trailing off. "Oh, You are getting curious, eh?" asked Yaamon. "Kind of... But, if this is really like the stories... I really don't have a choice."

"Are you going to go?" asked Yaamon.

"If we do go we need to prepare... I can find some food and stuff and then we will go." replied Adam.

"Your serious?"

"Yeah of course."

With that Adam and Yaamon, as well as Yaamon could, started gathering food and other items. They finally gathered everything they needed and walked towards the computer. Adam took the digivice and looked at it for a moment. "Wait. I got to get something else." said Adam suddenly.

"What?" asked Yaamon getting annoyed. Adam came back with his sketch book. "There sould be interesting things there. Who knows I might get ideas."

"Whatever. Let's just go already!"

"Ok..." said Adam throwing his duffle bag over his shoulders. He pointed the digivice at the screen.

He seemed to black out for a moment until he felt Yaamon bouncing on top of him. Adam woke up and saw he was inside of a forest full of strange looking trees. "So... this is the Digital World? Nothing like I was expecting." he said with awe. His digivice started to beep and he looked at it and saw that a dot was moving somewhere near him. "So... What is this? Oh. I remember something about this. Finally my research pays off. This should be another digivice right?"

"Yay. So your not a total idiot?" said Yaamon with a sarcastic voice.

"No I guess not. But, this is another person. So maybe he or she know more about this place." said Adam starting to walk south west. [/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

[B][COLOR=Purple]Mia looked at the device in her hand and blinked as a small cip fell out of the side, Tsunomon was there picking it up like a greedy dog.
"What is it Tsuno?"
"It's a crest...but I've never heard of one like this."
"What do you mean?"
"Well think about it, a long time ago there were eight crests. Friendship, Love, Sincarity, Responsibility, Courage, Knowlage, Hope, and Light. This one looks nothing like any of them."
"Then what do you think?"
"I don't know."
"Well sure as hell don't sheesh. You the digimon not me."
"I would cringe if your hyperactive personality some hoe found it's way into a Digimon."
She stuck her tounge out at him and smiled as she gave it back to her. She looked at it with growinginterest when her laptop began to beep furiously.
"Oh, man not another virus."
She walked over to the laptop and saw a bright blue screen.
"No! Aw man, I had all my fan fics on that freakin thing!"
She looked down as Tsunomon came closer, he looked to be almost in a trance.
"Tsunomon? What's wrong?"
The little digimon jumped up into her arms and she jumped as the digivice began to beep as well.
"What the hell?"
She blinked as she felt a rush of what felt like water go over her and she opened her eyes to see her self in a large plain.
"Where are? Or do I even want to know?"
She pulled her braid over her shoulder and began to play with the end of it like she always did when she was nervous.
"Tsunomon?"
The little digimon burst from the woods followed by a Gazimon. Tsunomon jumped up and supn around.
"Bubble blow."
Mia blinked as small bubbleds came from his mouth, the Gazimon cringed and scoffed turning and walking away.
"Tsunomon, do you have any idea where we are?"
"We're in the Digiworld."
"Your kidding?"
"Nope. Lets go!"
"Go where?"
He held up the digivice that beeped every now and then.
"Follow the beep."
Goody. A wild goose chase."
She began to walk east following the beep as Tsunomon toldher to do.[/COLOR][/B]

OOC: Just to give you information in advance, I'm currently on a vacation that will last till mid-November, so that means my posting may be slightly less frequent than normal. However, I'm still in this RPG.
IC:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[color=indigo]After the last speck of the bright orange sun disappeared below the horizon, Merlin got up from the bench he had watched the sunset from. He took one step forward, then remembered Kuramon.
"Kura?"
The Kuramon was sitting next to the device Merlin had picked up that day. But when Merlin turned back to him, he looked at his tamer and smiled excitedly.
"...Is it something about that device?" Merlin asked the little Digimon. "Did you find anything about it?"
Kuramon didn't answer, but he attempted to pick up the device with his little hands--but he was only able to lift it up slightly because it was too heavy for him. Luckily, Merlin took this hint: he picked up the strange device and examined it. As he looked over the device a little more, he found a strange object jutting out of the side of the device: a plastic thingy with a strange symbol on it.
[i]What is this?[/i] Merlin thought. [i]This is indeed most peculiar...[/i]

It was getting late, and soon it would get cold. Therefore, Merlin and Kuramon started to walk back home. The town ahead was pretty empty; maybe everyone had already gone home because the temperature outside was steadily dropping. Also, thick clouds were gathering in the sky; maybe it was about to rain--or worse, snow. In fact, seconds after entering the town, Merlin saw a lightningbolt in the distance. Then two seconds later, Kuramon jumped at the sound of thunder.
"Come on Kuramon," Merlin suggested, picking up the little Digimon and walking a little faster towards his house. Soon it began to drizzle, and by the time they had reached their destination, the rain had grown a little heavier. Soon after going inside the house, the pitter patter of the rain was quite loud. A glance out the window showed both very heavy rain and a little hail. The thunder got a little louder as well, but it wasn't earsplitting--just a little scary to poor Kuramon.

Merlin finally put Kuramon down onto a coffee table in front of the fireplace. Then he walked over to the fireplace and lit it with a lighter that was sitting atop it. Then he sat down on a nearby sofa as the flames grew bigger.
"There, doesn't that feel cozy?" Merlin asked Kuramon.
"Kura!!" Kuramon shouted as more thunder sounded.
"Don't shiver, it's warm in here," Merlin reassured, holding his hands out so they would get warmed by the fire. But this only lasted for a few moments, for he decided to inspect the device he had found in the woods earlier that day.

For the first time, Merlin decided to try out a few buttons. The biggest button showed Kuramon, his Digimon partner.
"What is this... a Digidex?" Merlin asked the device. Then he pushed another button. This led to a screen that showed the outline of the symbol on the plastic thingy on the device's side.
"Kura, kura," Kuramon said with a delighted nod.
"So do you actually think... that this is a digivice?!?" Merlin exclaimed. "But how... These weren't around for such a long time... Am I actually a Digidestined? Are we about to embark on a quest to defeat evil Digimon and restore peace to the Digital World?"
"Kura." Kuramon pointed to another spot on the Digivice: a button that Merlin had not pressed yet.

After taking a deep breath (thunder louder than ever sounded outside), Merlin pressed the fourth button. This time, a piercing white light came from the Digivice screen, and all Merlin and Kuramon could do was stare into it... A while later, Merlin felt te strange sensation of floating into the air, and all he could see around him was white nothingness. And as soon as that came, Merlin ended up somewhere in the forest.
"Don't tell me..." Merlin commented as he looked around (this did not look like the forest near his hometown) "...that we're in the Digital World...?"

Merlin wasn't entirely sure where he had ended up, for he did not see any other Digimon around. Unsure of what to do, he looked back at his Digivice and pressed the third button he had tried. Just like before, the screen displayed the text "Searching...", but this time, after a while, an arrow showed up on screen.
[i]I guess this means I'm supposed to go that way?[/i]
Merlin tentatively followedd the direction of the arrow, which occasionally pointed different ways to lead him through the forest.
[i]Where are you taking me?[/i]
Finally, Merlin could see a girl and a Tokomon in a clearing in the forest. The girl was holding what looked like another Digivice... But as Merlin wasn't sure, he looked at his own Digivice. To his surprise, the screen showed a small arrow pointing to the girl, and below it the text "Digivice found!" At this Merlin felt a little better, for he was not used to talking to strangers, especially girls.
"Well, Kuramon, do you think we should... Huh?" Merlin looked behind him and saw what was not Kuramon but a little blue Digimon with what looked like a clawed hand below its body.
"Hello Merlin," the Digimon said. "Remember me? I'm Kuramon! I just--I must have Digivolved!"
"Digivolved?" Merlin clarified. "Really... Well, this IS getting interesting. Anyways, uh... whoever you are..."
Merlin looked at his Digivice--which had a picture of the new Digimon and the text "Tsumemon" beneath it.
"Tsumemon," Merlin confirmed. "I was going to ask you... Should we go talk to that girl? I don't really feel comfortable doing it, but..."
"I'll help," Tsumemon offered. And with that, the two walked over to where the girl and the Tokomon were standing.
"Hey there Tokomon!" Tsumemon greeted.[/color]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: I hope the Digivolution was OK--my Digimon just Digivolved from Baby to In-Training. If not, I can edit that... I'm just tired of having a Digimon that's only able to say his name (as many baby Digimon are).

EDIT: Gee, Merlin doesn't even have a computer... so now what?

[Deathsye]

Adam and [COLOR=DarkRed]Yaamon, in Adam's arms, finally walked out of the forest.

"I got some interesting skecthes of some Digimon while we were in there but, I think it is time to stop playing and find these folks." said Adam setting down Yaamon.

He started to walk into what looked like plains. In the distance he saw figures.

"There they are... I think... Hey Yaamon what is the problem?" asked Adam looking back.

He saw that Yaamon wasn't feeling right. "

"Hey whats up?" he asked quietly.

Yaamon looked at Adam and replied, "I feel wierd... hmm..." He started to glow.

"What the?!" said Adam backing up.

Yaamon got brighter. Then, his visible shape started to shift. Adam was covering his eyes but when the light disipated he lowered his hand and saw a different Digimon.

"Yaa... Mon? Is that you?" said Adam inspecting the small dark purple digimon.

"Will you cut that out!! Your even more annoying then on earth!" said the new digimon.

"Yeah it is Yaamon. But... What are you now?" he said looking at his digivice then a description of the Digimon came up. "Impmon... The Rookie for m of Yaamon... So I call you Impmon now?"

"Yeah I guess so. But it is nice having legs now. And arms." said Impmon.

"Yeah now I don't have to carry you." said Adam walking towards the figures.

"HEY! Wait up you half a meatbalL!" said Impmon catching up.

They were now heading to the figure they saw in the distance. As they came upon a girl and a guy Adam attempted to greet them.

"Um... Hello... Are you two... AHH!" said Adam falling to the ground.

Impmon chuckled then said, "That is great I love having feet." as he tripped Adam.[/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR=Purple][B]Mia ran after the little jumping digimon as he bounced through the underbrush.
"Hey little buddy! Will you slow down?!"
"I smell digimon."
"Why woudln't you? THis place is crawling with them."
"Human too."
"Whoa? YOu mean there are more humans here? That's nuts! Well, lets go."
Tsunomon led her through some more bushes till she heard voices and the little digimon jumped up into her arms. She leaned down and peered through seeing two boys, one laying on the ground with an impish looking digimon laughing at him. And a girl,she stood up and walked over smileing.
"Uh, hey there? I guess I'm not the only one dreaming here?"
Tsunomon nipped her arm lightly.
"Ow. That hurt."
"Still think your dreaming?"
"No but that's not the point."
Tsunomon jumped from her arms and bounced over to Impmon and bounced up and down happily as they began to talk Mia just scratched the back of her neck and smiled.
"Well, at least they're getting along"
She chuckled feeling slightly uncomfortable.[/B][/COLOR]

[Deathsye]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Adam got up slowly and relplied, "Hi... Ow... My name is Adam... Uh..." he said looking at the Tsunomon. "Haven't seen one like you before."

Impmon looked at Adam with his eyebrow twicthing.

"Sorry he gets annoyed easy... Impmon... Don't get mean." said Adam.

"Yeah yeah..." said Impmon looking at the bouncing digimon before him, "Settle down your making me sick."[/COLOR]

"I'm gonna digivolve, I'm gonna digivolve!" Viximon sang from her perch atop Brent's head. She suddenly paused in her singing. "When do I get to digivolve?" Viximon asked Brent.

"I dunno. Hey, some of the dots are moving closer together!" Brent said, his eyes on his Digivice.

"More friends?" Viximon asked.

"Hopefully. If they're enemies, then we're pretty badly outnumbered." Brent replied. Viximon began sniffing again, before turning and jumping into Brent's backpack. "Hey! What are you doing!?" Brent asked as she came back out with a white cube inh er mouth.

"Eating. In case they're bad people." Viximon replied.

"The Tofu was supposed to be a treat. And you'd better not spill any in my hair!" Brent replied as he came upon the group of signals, staying just out of sight.

OOC: Deathsye, I'd tell you to edit your post to remove the digivolution to rookie, but I think it's about time for that to happen anyways, so you don't have to change anything (although you may want to edit the part where you referred to Merlin as a girl, because he's a guy. That goes for you, too, Knuckles' Girl).

Oh, and just a general note: from what I understand, our digivices will not have information on spliced digimon. They can have info on 'normal' Digimon, but not on spliced ones (unless Darren says otherwise, of course).

Also, because Tempest hasn't been online for a while, his (or her) character is introduced in this post.

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

[color=purple]Aesera didn't know if her current situation was real or not, but she decided that it really didn't matter. There was a possibility that it was real, so she knew that she should act like it was real. After all, if it turned out to not be real, acting like it was real wouldn't do any harm, where as treating it like it wasn't real when it actually was could have very bad results.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Aesera was going to treat what was happening as though it were real. However, she had no idea of what she should do. [i]I don't know enough,[/i] she decided. [i]If I knew more about the digital world and the Digidestined, I might be able to figure something out.[/i][/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Hey, Tokomon," Aesera said. "You know a lot more about the Digidestined and the digital world than I do."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Yes, though that's really quite an understatement," Tokomon replied. And it was, too. Aesera had never seen any use for knowledge of those old stories. Tokomon had always been obsessed with them, but Aesera really didn't care about them. Now she needed that knowledge, that information, so it was fortunate that Tokomon had it.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"I need you to explain all that stuff to me," Aesera told Tokomon. "And I mean everything. Don't spare any details. There's no telling what pieces of information might be important."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Okay, but it'll take a while," Tokomon warned Aesera.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Well, we seem to have a while," Aesera replied.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"All right, then. The digital world and the Digidestined."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Aesera nodded. "Indeed. Let's begin, shall we?"[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Aesera did her best to listen to everything Tokomon was saying. The little Digimon had gone through the basics about the digital world and had moved on to the first group of Digidestined. He'd just finished detailing their adventures when Aesera stopped him. "We're getting close to the signal this digivice is picking up," she said. "You can tell me the rest later. Right now we need to focus on who or what's up ahead."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Who was up ahead turned out to be a human with a Digimon partner. At Tokomon's urging, Aesera pointed her Digivice at the Digimon. The Digivice identified the Digimon as Tsumemon. [/color][color=#800080]"Hey there, Tokomon!" the Tsumemon said.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Hello," Aesera said the the boy and his Tsumemon partner. "My name is Aesera, and this is my partner, Tokomon."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Call me Merlin," the boy replied. "This is my partner, Tsumemon. Newly digivolved from Kuramon."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Nice to meet you," Aesera said. "Now, I'm assuming that, like me, you're not quite sure how you ended up here, and that you have absolutly no idea why. Is that accurate?"[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Merlin nodded. "Yeah, pretty much. I have no idea what's going on here, that's for sure."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"But you're another one!" Tokomon exclaimed. "A Digidestined, just like Aesera! Isn't this great?"[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Ignore him," Aesera said to Merlin. "He's been like that ever since he saw this digivice. I'm not sure what I think about all this, but Tokomon has never been more excited in his life."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Yeah, I think I can see that," Merlin replied. "I-"[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Merlin was cut off by Tokomon, who was once again on Aesera's sholder, looking at her digivice. "Someone else is coming," Tokomon said.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]The newcomers were a boy named Adam and his partner, Impmon, who'd recently digivolved from Yaamon. Shortly after they showed up, another pair, Mia and Tsunomon arrived. After them, it was Chase and his partner, the in-training Digimon Hopmon. Throughout the introductions, Tokomon kept nudgeing Aesera, but she ignored him. Eventually, though, she did look, just in time to see Tokomon start to glow, then undergo a transformation.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]After his change, Tokomon actually didn't look too different. His coloration had changed, and he was a bit larger now, but aside from those, the only difference was his ears, which were now quite large. To everyone's surprise, he rose into the air by flapping his ears like wings, and landed on Aesera's sholder. "Look at me!" he exclaimed. "I digivolved!"[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Aesera's digivice identified Tokomon's digivolved form as Patamon. "Well, congradulations, Patamon," Aesera said. "Now, this deigivice seems to be showing a couple more signals. Shall we go take a look?"[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Of course!" Patamon agreed. "Come on, everyone! Let's go!"[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
--------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Okay, Digimon may now digivolve to the rookie level.

[squirr31y]

"Geez, I really hope that they aren't enemies. They're growing and number and digivolving jsut as we watch!" Brent whispered.

"Hey, they get to digivolve but I don't!" Viximon complained.

"The moment we figure out how to do digivolve, I'll let you." Brent reassured Viximon. Viximon's stomach suddenly growled. "Didn't you just eat?" Brent asked.

"Ooh, I feel funny!" Viximon muttered.

"If you're gonna be sick, don't do it on me!" Brent warned as Viximon began to glow. Viximon grew in size, and causing Brent's sense of balance to be destroyed and he toppled forward through the bushes with a humanoid fox landing on him. He and the fox looked up from their pile to see the others. "Um...hi?" Brent greeted sheepsihly.

[Darren]

It had been three weeks since Jase had found that strange object that Bukamon had called a digivice and Jase was sitting on his bed, holding it and staring intensly at the wall.

[I]"What could it be?"[/I] He asked himself.

Of course he wanted to fulfill his oath to his grandpa about going to the digital world, but why wasn't he able to work that damn device? In the three weeks he'd found it, with its tag and crest, he had already heard of strange dissappearances across the globe.

[B][COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"Wat'cha thinkin' about,"[/COLOR][/B] Bukamon interrupted his train of thought as he jumped up onto the bed. [B][COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"Not about the digivice again?"[/COLOR][/B]

[B]"How can I not think about it?"[/B] He spat in anger, [B]"How do we even know that it's a digivice? And even if it is, what if it wasn't meant for us? I mean it's been three weeks,"[/B] He paused for a bit, thinking, then added, [B]"Maybe we aren't meant to save the world."[/B]

[B][COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"I don't think that we would have found it if we weren't meant to go to the digital world, so you don't need to think about that,"[/COLOR][/B]Bukamon said confidently, however Jase could see the doubt on his face, [B][COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"And you probably play an important roll, just like everyone else that's already there. You're just not needed yet. You just wait: Once we get there, we'll be a lot of help! Have faith, Jase!"[/COLOR][/B]

[B]"Yeah, well, I'll believe it when I see it."[/B] He said, [B]For now, we need to get some rest, B."[/B] And they both layed down to sleep with their digivice laying right next to them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The boy and his digimon layed beside each other for several hours. Jase was constantly up throughout the night, stealing glances at his digivice, praying that it would do something, and insure his confidence. At about 2:00 AM, after he had admired the delicate features of the device, he looked down at Bukamon and patted him silently on the head.

[I]"Look at him,"[/I] Jase thought. [I]"He's so small and yet, he's got more faith than I've ever had."[/I] Bukamon shifted a bit on top of the comforter, and then settled back again. [I]"Maybe the reason we can't go is because I've been too pessemistic. Maybe B's right, and I'm not mature or ready enough to go."[/I] He looked over through his window at the beautiful night sky wondering if the digital world had a sky just as beautiful. [I]"That's it."[/I] He thought, [I]"No more waiting. I'm going to keep my promise. It's all up hill from here!"[/I]

Jase got up out of bed quietly, so as not to wake up Bukamon. He packed his bags, (along with his Grandpa's compass that he'd given him when he was six and several days worth of food) and then he woke up Bukamon:

[B]"B! B, get up, we're going to the digital world."[/B] he demanded as he nudged Bukamon

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise][B]"What? Really? When?"[/B][/COLOR] The little monster jumped up from his deep sleep, excitment full in his eyes. He couldn't keep from jumping around.

[B]"We're going now so hurry up and grab whatever you'll need."[/B]

Bukamon ran about the room, digging through laundry drawers, looking for his black handkerchief with flames on it. Jase had given it to him only a couple of weeks ago, and Bukamon only took it off for bed and baths. Jase let Bukamon jump onto his back, resting on the back pack, and then he held up his digivice to the computer.

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise][B]"Wait! Isn't it supposed to be glowing or something?"[/B][/COLOR] The little monster asked, [COLOR=MediumTurquoise][B]"How are we supposed to get to the digital world if you can't make the digivice glow."[/B][/COLOR]

All Jase said was, [B]"Have faith, B."[/B]

The two stood in front of the computer for about five minutes, Jase's pure will, keeping himself from giving up. [I]"No more doubt. I made a promise and I'm going to keep it!"[/I]

Just then, the digivice started to glow and with a smirk on his face, Jase looked back to Bukamon, [B]"Told ya."[/B] Then, after one last mental check of everything he would be needing in the digital world he let the only words he could think of leave his mouth: [B]"DIGITIZE,"[/B] and the boy and his digital partner were gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: Okay, I finally got around to finsihing it. I see that the story hasn't progressed very far. (as far as story days) So I'll be able to write a new post tomorrow meeting up with everyone. Please forgive me for the long wait. I'll make it up to everyone with a great RPG! Haha, I hope. ^_^

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR=Purple][B]Mia smiled at them all then jumped when she felt a tug on her pants leg.
"Whats up Tusno?"
"It's Gabumon now."
She lookd down and yelped.
"Whoa! Awsome!"
She reached down and took hold of his paw like hands and bounced up and down laughing.
"You look so cool now!"
"That's wounderful. You can let go now Mia."
SHe chucklerd nervously.
"Heh, sorry. Just got alittle excited."
She looked up at theothers amd smlied for them all to see she meant no harm.
"So, anyone else coming or is it just us?"
She asked as she turned and began to walk in a small circle around Gabumon, lifting up his eard and looking at his tail, then the horn ontop of his head.
"Your just to cool."
"As I said before Mia, thank you but can you not inspect me? It makes me nervous, I know you. You do random things."
"Like make bunnys when i IM people?"
"yes, exactly like that."
She laughed and sat down next to Gabumon and waited pateintly.[/B][/COLOR]

[Deathsye]

[COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Courier New]Adam had just got done skecthing Patamon and Impmon. He quickly baged his drawing pad and zipped up the contents.

"So anyone know why exactly we are here?" asked Adam. "In my research of the old stories for my Manga. I found that these don't pop up for no reason." He showed his digivice. He then pocketed it.

"Well, If you are so confused why do you think they will know eh?" asked Impmon with a annoyed tone.

"Yeah... Sorry." He said in a nervous laugh,[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Imp]

OOC: Wow, how I love (fairly) slow-moving RPG's... Almost ten days pass and I don't have to read two pages of posts.
IC:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[color=indigo]"That Tokomon just Digivolved to... Patamon," Merlin said to himself. "Hey, Patamon! I heard that one of the old Digidestined--TK, I think his name was?--had a Patamon as his partner."
"Really?" Tsumemon asked, sounding a little excited.
"Yes, I read about them once in an old newspaper I found once. I love digging up those things, for they have the most interesting news about what happened around fifty years ago," Merlin replied.
"I heard about them as well," Aesera commented. "I wonder how similar or different our quest will be to theirs...?"
"I hope it's very different," Patamon blurted. "I would certainly like a surprise!"
"Only fate will tell," Merlin concluded, for after that was a long silence between the four of them.

Tsumemon nodded after that, but as he closed his eyes while doing so, he felt a sensation, as if he was being lifted into a space full of sworling data. Energies were spinning around him, and outside he felt bathed in light... And in fact, to Patamon and the two tamers he seemed to be glowing. It was a few seconds later that they all realized what was happening...
"Tsumemon Digivolve to..."
What looked like a small, dark blue, leafless tree with creepy orange eyes appeared in Tsumemon's place.
"...Keramon!"

"Hey wait a minute," Merlin noticed as he looked up the information on the new Digimon. "Keramon--and Patamon as well--are both Rookie-level Digimon. I personally haven't seen any Rookie-level Digimon before, at least none I recognized. Is it just me, or have you..."
"I never saw any either," Aesera commented. "I'm starting to think that all the Digimon in the Real World are just babies... Other Digimon like Salamon, Guilmon, Agumon, Mushroomon... I've read about them, but I've never seen them in real life."
"I wonder if the Digimon there are... afraid to Digivolve?" Merlin guessed. "Why would they not want to get past baby form?"
"Either they don't want to or..." Aesera paused at this point when she said this, "...they can't, for some reason or another.
"But what could that reason be?" Merlin asked slowly, speaking more to the sky than to Aesera or the two Digimon. Keramon looked at the sky as well, and another long silence followed between the four.[/color]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

[color=purple]"I don't know why the Digimon in the human world havn't ever digivolved," Patamon said in response to Merlin's somewhat rhetorical question. "I mean, it can't just be because nobody had digivices, which seems to be what most people think. Digimon digivolve naturally, though it generally takes a while go get to a higher level. They stay there permanently, though. Digivices allow on-demand digivolution, but the digivolution is only temporary and the partner Digimon eventually reverts to its rookie or in-training form.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Anyways, Digimon can digivolve without digivices, so that's not the reason none in the human world have digivolved. It could be that something about the human world prevents natural digivolution beyond the in-training form. Digimon at higher levels can enter the human world, but perhaps they can't digivolve naturally there. Digivice-aided digivolution is possible in the human world, as the old Digidestined prooved, but maybe it's not possible without a digivice."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Aesera sighed. "Good job," she said to Merlin. "You got him started. There's no telling how long he'll ramble on for, and it's pretty close to impossible to stop him before he's done. Look, he's even kept going over me talking to you."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Well, he certainly seems to know a lot about this world," Merlin remarked.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Aesera nodded. "You could say that, though it'd be an understatement. Toko-I mean, Patamon is obsessed with the Digidestined, and with the digital world. I don't think there's anyone, human or Digimon, who knows more about those topics than Patamon. He doesn't know everything, of course, but he knows a hell of a lot."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Merlin was about to reply, but stopped as a group of Digimon came out of the bushes. When he saw them, they even got Patamon's attention. "Not good," Patamon said. "Those are Gazamon. They're rookis-level Digimon with a mean streak. Real nasty types. And they look mad."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"You bet we're mad," one of the Gazimon said. "This is our territory, and you're tresspassing. And we don't like trespassers. Come on, boys! Let's get 'em!"[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
-------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Okay, it's time for some action. We're being attacked by Gazimon, so this won't be too tough a fight. And since Gazimon are rookies, the humans can get in on the action, so don't be afraid to have your character attack the Gazimon along with his/her partner Digimon (perhaps after finding something nearby that can serve as a weapon).

Oh, and no digivolving past rookie. That'll happen soon, but not right now.

[squirr31y]

Brent silently thanked that attention was turned away from him. As he and the fox disentangled themselves, his Digivice beeped. He grabbed it and looked at it. "Renamon, a Beast Man Digimon. Rookie level." Brent read aloud. Renamon looked herself over.

"I evolved! Woohoo!" Renamon exclaimed, suddenly hugging Brent.

"Um...can you let me go?" Brent asked her. She released him, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. Brent turned to see the Gazimon. "Um...and we may want to go help the others..." Brent suggested.

"So they're safe to trust?" Renamon asked.

"For now." Brent replied. Renamon nodded, and the two walked over to where they were confronting the Gazimon.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR=DarkRed][B]Mia looked down at Gabumon and smiled.
"Well well, looks as if it's timet o have alittle fun."
Gabumon stepped forward and took a deeo breath.
"Blue Blaster!"
The attacke hit the Gazimon right in the chest and he was suddenly swamped by three more, Mia growled and ran forwrads grabbing one by the scruff of the neck.
"GEven if you're feeling lazy, get yourselves out the door and into a new experience together. Finding a new lunch spot, visiting some galleries or checking out an action-packed matinee reenergizes the two of you.
"Hey, there's two of us here."
She pulled back and punched the digimon in the face throwing him off of Gabumon as he threw off the other tow.
"Mia, something tells me that it was not a good idea for you to get involoved."
"Yeah? You think? Oh well, to late now."
She stuck out her foot catching one in the throat as it ran at her and stood back to back with Gabumon in a fighting stance as the others just kinda looked at them in a trance.
"You know, it shouldn't be that much of a show! You can jump in anytime loafers!"
They seemed to all jump at once and nodd. She smiled down at Gabumon as they began to join in one at a time, she saw a young man comeing from the bushes and faced him, her feet planted apart, her frists up in defense. She drew back when a Reanamon stodd between them knocking back a Gazimon.
"Your on our side?"
"For now."
With that said the Renamon was off into the fight with the others.
"So punctaul."
"No teveryone can have your charm Mia."
"Eh? You think? I thought it was kinda catchy."
"Annoying is more the word."
She looked up at Impmon as he jumped over them.
"You know what you little...Imp! I'll make sure to annoy you more then anyone, just for that remark."
"Oh goody."
She stuck out her tounge and went back to gaurding Gabumon's back for the duration of the fight.[/B][/COLOR]

[squirr31y]

"Power Paw!" Renamon exclaimed, punching a Gazimon that was tossed her way by Brent. Another Gazimon tried sneaking up on her, but she faded out of existence and then back into it behind the enemy Digimon. She quickly dispatched of it, and glanced over at Brent to make sure he was alright. He had his knife out, and was staring down one of the Gazimon. He noticed Renamon watching him, and gave a quick grin. Brent leapt forward, jabbing with the knife, and the Gazimon jumped backwards in reaction to his obvious lunge. However, it jumped into another Gazimon, causing them to tumbled and land in a tangle of limbs.

"Now, Renamon!" Brent ordered. Renamon jumped up, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Diamond Storm!" Renamon exclaimed, swiping her amrs out, unleashing a barrage of the sharp white stones at the two Digimon.

[Deathsye]

[COLOR=DarkRed]"Bada Boom!" said Impmon singeing one of the Gazimon's butt. It started hoping around while Impmon stood there laughing. "This too much fun!" he said punching one in the face.

While Impmon was having his fun Adam was fending off one, "Dang it! I didn't come here to fight! And get the hell away from me you little furry thing." said Adam kicking the digimon a couple of feet knocking it out.

"Aw. Come on this is fun. At least this is more exciting then sitting around in your apartment all day." said Impmon with another Bada Boom. "What ever..!" said Adam tossing a rock at another Gazimon.[/COLOR]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

OOC: Deathsye and squirr31y, please try to make your posts longer.

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

[color=purple]As the Gazimon attacked, everyone's Digimon entered into battle. Most of the humans fought, as well, but not Aesera. As the others, including Patamon, fought, Aesera stood back and observed. She wanted to learn about the others, and nothing revealed more about a person than that person's actions in a dangerous situation. So she simply observed as the others fought, keeping herself out of the battle for as long as possible. She watched as Mia and Gabumon fought side-by-side, observed as Impmon attacked Gazimon from up close while Adam threw rocks at them, and wondered why Brent had a knife on him when she saw him using it {[/color][color=black]OOC: Why does he have a knife, squirr31y?}[/color][color=purple].[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Of course, Aesera wasn't able to stay out of the battle forever. Eventually, a Gazimon came at her. Aesera waited until the Gazimon was close, not acting until the last second. She sidestepped the charging Gazimon, then brought her foot down on the back of its head.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Knowing that she'd just been forced into the battle, Aesera looked around for anything that she could use as a weapon. She didn't see much, however, so when another Gazimon came at her, she fought it unarmed as she had the first one. This one didn't go down as easily, though, It was quick, dodging Aesera's strikes. Aesera wasn't able to land a hit. She was still busy with it when another Gazimon joined it against her. They both came at her, but they didn't both reach her. Patamon came up from behind them, taking one out with a Boom Bubble from behind. The other Gazimon hesitated in surprise, alowing Aesera to land a kick to its head.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Thanks for the help, Patamon," Aesera said.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"No problem," Patamon replied. "Come on, let's teach these things a lesson!"[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=darkslategray]Keralamon didn't understand why anyone would go against the leader, the one usually referred to using only pronouns. Her name was spoken rarely, and never spoken by most Digimon. Normally, only the leaders ever used it, the ones directly under Her, and even they used Her name only among each other. Many Digimon, especially those new to the cause, didn't even know Her name. And the reason they didn't know it or use it was because they had not proven themselves worthy to utter it. She was something of a religious figure, not just a mortal leader. Most of the Digimon serving Her saw in her a certain divinity, but not quite all of them. And any traitors were invariably among those who did not see any divinity within Her. However, such individuals were often hard to identify, as they acted like they did attribute divine aspects to Her in order to avoid any potential negative attitudes from others.[/color]
[color=#2f4f4f][/color]
[color=#2f4f4f]Keralamon had started tracking down the traitors by following the two who'd been identified, a Tyrannomon and a Devidramon. Neither were spliced Digimon, which was not too surprising. There were non-spliced Digimonin Her army in addition to the splicers, and though the majority were splicers, many were non-splicers. And of those who saw no divinity in Her, the majority were non-splicers. On the rare occasions that there were traitors, non-spliced Digimon were usually among them.[/color]
[color=#2f4f4f][/color]
[color=#2f4f4f]By following the Tyrannomon and the Devidramon, Keralamon had been able to identify a couple others among the trators, both spliced Digimon. And now, she was watching as Devidramon met with another of the traitors, a rookie-level non-spiced Digimon, BlackAgumon. The presence of a rookie-level Digimon was surprising, as rookies were too weak to be useful in combat. The rookies in Her army never fought. They were the ones who supported the fighters from afar. They maintained the facilities and manned the equipment, but they did not fight. The rpesence of a rookie-level among the traitors indicated they they were probably planning something more than a simple betrayal. Rookies often handled sensitive information, information that would proove useful to those turning against Her cause.[/color]

[color=#2f4f4f]Keralamon was hoping to follow the BlackAgumon after his meeting with Devidramon. However, BlackAgumon managed to lose her. She didn't think that BlackAgumon had seen her; BlackAgumon was simply being cautious, taking measures against anyone who may be following him just in case. And he'd been right to take such precautions, as Keralamon had been following him. But since she'd lost him, Keralamon decided to return to base and report her discovery.[/color]

OOC: Okay, the battle should start to wind down soon, but please allow me to end it. There's an important event I need to include at the end of the battle.

[squirr31y]

{OOC: Sorry for the short posts. As for the knife...I mentioned in my character description that he has one on him at all times.}

Brent and Renamon stuck close by each other as the Gazimon began to thin out. But as there were less and less Gazimon, they started acting more and more intelligently. One Gazimon came at them form the front, before feinting away as a second one leaped over the first's back. Renamon jumped in the way, holding an arm up in defense, adn the Gazimon clamped down on it. "Ow! Let go you stupid thing!" Renamon exclaimed, shaking her arm with the Gazimon still attached. Another one leapt at her, and she used the Gazimon that was still attached to her arm to bat it away. The one on her arm finally let go, and the two Digimon were flung into a tree, landing in a crumpled heap at the base.

"Damn, how many of these guys are there?" Brent muttered, knocking another one away, and almost getting hit by another that Renamon blocked.

"I dunno, you tell me. You know more about this stuff than I do!" Renamon retorted. Brent just mumbled under his breath.

"Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer." He whispered ot himself. As Renamon took over, guarding him, he glanced around at the others to see how they were doing. That one girl, Aesera, had been hanging back before, but now she ahd joined the fight. The Impmon and his partner had an effective tactic going, as did the Gabumon and the girl, Mia. Things weren't too bad now, but Brent wanted to plan for the worst, and didn't want any risks. If push came to shove, he was worried that someone might snap under the pressure. But he'd deal with that when it came down to it.

[COLOR=DarkRed][B]Mia ducked low and then threw her arms up knocking a Gazimon to it's back.
"Monley's ass! How much longer are they going to get their butts kicked?!"
Gabumon let out yet another Blue Blaster attack and looked up at her.
"Do you have any idea what your lanuage sounds like?"
"Not a clue!"
She grunted as a Gazimon hit her in the back and she went down on one knee.
"What the hell?"
She threw out her leg and spun around knocking the digimons feet from under it, getting ontop of it , and punching it effectively knocking it out.
"You know, I'm kinda glad Jakc put me in fighting classes."
"Your brother? Really?"
"Yeah! I would never have been able to help you this way if I hadn't"
He nodded as a few of the Gazimon took off running, Mia pointed at them laughing and took a few steps back bumping into Adam, she spun, her fists raised in an attack position. Seeing who it was she gave him a V for victory and a sultry wink before laughing and rejoining Gabumon.[/B][/COLOR]

OOC: I have no clue what Keramon's attacks look like, as he never appeared in the anime as far as I know, so I guess I'll improvise on that... (Yeah, and they're not self-explanatory either--Network Flapping? Crazy Giggle? Um...)
IC:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[color=indigo]Merlin looked around at all the Gazimon, as well as all the other Digimon fighting them. Strangely, Keramon was the only Digimon not fighting; he just stood there, not really doing much. Neither of them really cared for battles that much.

"Electric Stun Blast!" declared three of the Gazimon in unison. They fired their attacks at Keramon. Keramon fell over and rolled over out of the way, missing the combined attack by inches.
"No way, three against one?!" Merlin muttered to himself. "Now that's unfair, and Keramon never even asked for a fight."
Keramon giggled in response--Merlin wondered why--but this was actually an attack. The three Keramon then started giggling in the exact same way, so they couldn't do much of anything, much less attack.

Three other Gazimon charged at Merlin. This was rather unfortunate, because Merlin had possibly the least desire of all the group to fight. He disliked any sort of physical combat, in fact. As the Gazimon pinned Merlin to the ground, Merlin wished for a fleeting moment that he was a Digimon, with some sort of special power that could help him out here. Wizardmon was the first Digimon he thought of, as that was his favourite. But Merlin wasn't Takuya or Koji or J.P, so he had no hope of achieving this wish. Instead, he continued lying face-down, covering his head with his arm, as the Gazimon starting jumping up an down on him as if he was a trampoline. Luckily the Gazimon weren't big enough to actually crush him--they just were a bit painful and annoying.

After a few moments of giggling hysterically, the other three Gazimon actually frlt refreshed and pepped up. So they all charged at Keramon with newfound energy, in a similar way that the other Gazimon did to Merlin. Keramon tried to jump out of the way, but he couldn't jump very high on his tree-root legs. One of the Gazimon grabbed Keramon by the foot, dragging hhim down to the ground. Another one stomped on his head, pushing the tree-like Digimon's face into the ground as to prevent him from giggling again. The third hit Keramon with more electric shock attacks, stunning him so that he couldn't escape so easily.
"Network... mmph... Flapping..." Keramon grunted between getting stomped on by one of the Gazimon. A few of birdlike wisps of dark energy flew out of his hands, but none of them hit the Gazimon. The two that weren't stomping on him jumped out of the way to avoid the attack; the third was out of range anyways. So Keramon was pretty much doomed in this position... As was Merlin, who just lay there, not doing a thing about the Gazimon on top of him.[/color]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: Yeah, this is typical. I somehow like to make my character's situations very difficult in some of these battles...

[color=black]OOC: Nefertimon, this RPG is set in the world of the first two seasons of the TV show. As far as this RPG is concerned, the third and forth seasons never existed. So please remove the reference to season 4 characters in your post.[/color]

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

[color=purple]"Damn," Aesera swore as she saw Merlin and Keramon go down. "Patamon!" she called. "Merlin's in trouble. Let's go lend a hand."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Got it," Patamon said. He and Aesera took out the Gazimon currently attacking them, after which they ran over to Merlin and Keramon. Patamon fired a Boom Bubble at the Gazimon on Keramon, making sure not to hit Keramon. Aesera, meanwhile, ran towards Merlin. She grabbed one of the Gazimon on Merlin and threw it into another. Merlin managed to get the third Gazimon off of himself, and he got to his feet.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]By this time, the battle was winding down. Some of the others were able to give Aesera, Merlin, Patamon, and Keramon a hand. Before long, the battle was over. Aesera was surprised when data streams went from the Gazimon to the digivices of her and the others. [i]Okay, what was that?[/i] she wondered.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]As everyone recovered from the battle, Aesera looked up into the sky. The sun, she saw, would set in a couple hours. [i]We need to find a safe place to spend the night,[/i] she thought.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Aesera was about to turn back to the others when something caught her eye. There was something in the air. It wasn't too far away, but it was in the sun's glare, so Aesera couldn't make it out clearly. However, she could tell when it noticed her and the others. It was clearly shocked to see them. It quickly turned and flew off.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080][i]Okay, that makes things a bit more urgent,[/i] Aesera thought. [i]We've been seen by something that probably knows we're not Digimon. We have to move. That thing may be a friend, but we have to assume it's not. It's safer that way. So we need to get going.[/i][/color]
[i][color=#800080][/color][/i]
[color=#800080]"Okay, everyone," Aesera said. "Something just saw us, and from what I saw of its reaction, it knows we're not Digimon We should get moving, so that we're not here if it decides to come back. Yes, I know that it could be a potential friend, but it's safer if we assume it's not. So we should get moving. Besides, it looks like the sun'll set in a couple hours, so we need to find a place to spend the night."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Let's rest a bit first," Brent suggested. "That fight was tiring."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"A short rest is fine," Aesera agreed. "A few minutes isn't likely to make much of a difference. So we'll rest a for a bit, but then we move."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Aesera sat down on a large rock and looked off into the distance, thinking. She'd seemed to take charge of the group, though she hadn't tried to. Still, she saw how this fit. Everyone was sure to have complexfeelings about everything that had happened. Aesera herself was filled with questions and concerns, but she knew that she couldn't let herself worryh about such things yet. When the group had an idea of what was going on and what they were supposed to do, then perhaps Aesera could allow herself to consider her own feelings about all this. Until then, she'd keep her feelings and concerns in the back of her mind.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]Aesera didn't really want to be considered the group leader. Her belief was that everyone should have an equal weight in decisions. Still, she could see that the others were wrestling with their thoughts and feelings, so she would take a leadership role if she had to. She'd avoid it if she could, though.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]A few minutes later, Aesera got to her feet. "Okay, let's get moving," she said. One by one, the other humans and their Digimon stood up. The direction they traveled in didn't seem to be too important at the moment, so they picked a direction more or less at random and set off.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Patamon," Aesera said to her partner as they walked. "Before we met the others, you were about to start in on the second group of digidestined. It looks like we have some more time now, so please tell me what you know."[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
[color=#800080]"Okay," Patamon replied, and began detailing the adventures of the second set of digidestined.[/color]
[color=#800080][/color]
----------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Okay, now's the time to talk with others in the group, contemplate everything that's happened, things like that.
