Hello to the new and old readers :P I did say I was going to update this story quickly so ha, to anyone who didn't believe me.
Incase I forgot to explain this in the previous chapter, each chapter will take a different point of view from each of the main characters in "Networks of Destiny" so some events may overlap.
I hope you all enjoy and review the chapter.
Will stared out across the sprawling army. He could easily identify various champion level and ultimate level Digimon. A chill raced down his spine as a grin grew across his face. Adrenaline began to pump through his veins. He'd noticed several other humans amongst the rabble. Will frowned and immedietly focused, ignoring his friends yelling to him. He could barely make out the shapes at the back of the rabble. Something was wrong about them, they had formed into a neat line and had stopped advancing.
"What are they doing?" Will muttered to himself. Will felt his Digivice vibrate rapidly on his belt buckle as it finally picked up the signals of the other Digivices nearby. A small cluster of the army had formed infront of the line.
"Defensive posistions?" Will folded his arms and watched quetly. All of his enthusiasm melted away only to be replaced with instant concentration. He strained his eyes as he tried to make out the shape of the Digimon at the back. Suddenly the sound of shots being fired echoed loudly in the air. Will barely had time to brace himself as the shots landed meters from his wall , exploding in a hail of fire and debris.
"Damn it!" He cursed as mud and soil sprayed all over the wall and himself. His wall was quite a bit lower than the others. In that instant he was grateful the enemy missed so his wall still stood. He couldn't lose a bet now. The smoke finally cleared and Will coughed harshly to clear his throat. The ground was carved up and horribly burnt and stained black. He swore quietly this time as he saw the back line reposistioning, they wouldn't miss a second time.
"Hey, buddy, I don't fancy going easy on these guys. What do you say to cutting lose?" Will called out to his partner.
"I was hoping you'd say that!" A deep noble voice rumbled behind him happily. Will grinned wildly.
"Hey Trace, they have Tankmon with them! Keep this wall standing!" Will called out to his friend and suddenly leapt from the wall. He rolled as he landed, barely paying attention to his friends protests. He quickly unbuttoned his black jacket and threw it to the floor revealing his dark red t-shirt with white desgins racing up one side. He stood and took off, racing for the front line of the enemy forces. The Digimon and humans watched him in shock as he charged them by himself. They hesistated to launch any kind of attack or defense against him, giving him the opening he needed.
"Lightning ride!" Will's partner called out. Almost instantly the sky turned a deadly black and freezing gales rushed in over the forces. A huge terrifying bone white haphazard column of lightning tore through the lines of enemy Digimon. It carved through the ground as if it was nothing, igniting the ground in a low blue flame as it ripped through the enemy Digimon, leaving nothing in it's wake. Digimon left and right backed away from the lightning allowing Will to easily run through the army straight to the enemy's backline. Will suddenly stopped and turned to face the huge mass of Digimon he had just past through.
"I suggest you lot get moving unless you want to exprience that again." Will grinned as his Digimon partner appeared almost out of no where and stood next to him , dirt kicking up from his arrival. A large knight loomed darkly next to Will. The sun washing over his pale blue thick armour trimmed with white metal. His long noble white mane trailed behind him with a long royal cape. He held expertly in his right hand, a long pale blue sword with Digital symbols running up the length of the blade. His pale yellow eyes stared out across the enemy army, clearly unimpressed. Warrior Strikemon, a noble knight as old as the sovereigns.
"One Digimon, big deal." A cocky voice echoed behind him. Will and Warrior Strikemon turned and noticed the group defending the back line had moved forward. Will could easily see the backline now. It turned out to be around three of four lines of green heavily armoured Digimon. Short and slow but could pack a heavy long range attack. Tankmon, military Digimon. Several humans approached the pair along with the disorganised Digimon left to defend the Tankmon.
"Well, then you'll have no problem dealing with us then will you?" Will raised his hands in mock defeat.
"We outnumber you!" The Digidestined was around the same age as Will but shorter with light red hair and pale skin. Will rolled his eyes.
"Haven't you noticed yet? The sky's still dark. Bad omen to fight me with a dark sky." Will smiled simply and kept his arms ready at his side. Lightning crashed down on the Tankmon without warning , carving through them. Debris flew in every direction and as a dust cloud was kicked up, Will and Warrior Strikemon laughed and ran towards the confused enemy.
"Lightning slash!" Warrior Strikemon's blade ignited in a dull flare as his blade tore through an enemy. He didn't stop to register which enemy was nearby and launched another attack. His blade cut through another enemy as data floated away into the sky. Warrior Strikemon turned and plunged his blade into the stomach of another enemy before he felt a blade attempt to pierce his armour. His left fist ignited into a blaze of lightning as he turned and struck the random enemy. The dust cloud was beginning to disperse and Warrior Strikemon turned to see Will fighting his own battle.
"Damn you!" Will twisted out of the way of a punch before stirking the Digidestined with a well aimed punch. Will ducked avoiding a hit from behind from another Digidestined. Will turned on his heel and sent another punch into the enemy. Will stopped and realised no other Digidestined were coming towards him. He took the moment to catch his breath and wiped a small trail of blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. His eyes stretched back to the defensive walls and noticed Leya was racing along the edge of the wall he was defending. She leapt gracefully over a fall part of the wall and realised she was quite atheletic, even compared to the average Digidestined. For a moment his thoughts trailed off.
"Good god! Get your mind out of the gutter! Slightly more important things to focus on right now!" Will scolded himself before just barely avoiding a fist flying towards his face. An ear splitting crack ran out. Several shots were fired out from the smoke and they sailed rapidly through the air. They connected with the wall and exploded in a hail of smoke and fire. They'd missed a few of the Tankmon. Will stopped and watched the wall come crumbling down in a matter or seconds. His heart skipped a beat and he prayed silently Trace and Leya were okay. Something crashed into his side and he went crashing to the floor with the weight on top of him.
"Warrior Strikemon! Go help them out! I'll be fine!" Will called out and felt a ripid rush of air as his partner flew past. He watched Warrior Strikemon race towards the back of the enemy force as a black blur flew from the defensive walls. Will cursed as he felt a fist crash into his face. He began to defend himself, cursing himself for not being able to make it back to the city. After several well aimed punches and a headbutt the attack fell to one side. Will stood and stared at the fallen destroyed wall. White rubble lay everywhere and burnt brightly. He swore again.
"I am so not paying for that!"
