It had been many human years and even more Digital years since he had been human but he still felt the same rush as the others. That buzz you got from charging the front lines of an enemy group or taking down an extremely strong opponent. Combat wasn't his speciality, but it didn't mean he was bad at it. The wall Trace and Will had been defending had fallen and a slight grin tugged at the corn of his mouth. Just a slight grin. The enemy forces were coming for him now.
"Alex! Are you okay?" Leya called out. Alex looked up and smiled. He couldn't see anything through the cloud of debris or smoke but he knew the enemy force was coming now.
"I'll be fine, focus on yourself for now." Alex replied simply. Shapes began to appear through the debris cloud and he smiled.
"Stop right there." Alex said with force behind his words. He could see the shapes freeze for just a moment.
"If you advance any further, it'll lead to your certain death." He said simply. He didn't like this but it to be done. The figures twisted and turned but in unison, they advanced out of the cloud. Alex instantly recognised each Digimon and sighed.
"You're just one human!" Several of the Digimon cried out in laughter and looked up at him. Alex frowed and shook his head. He raised a single arm. He glanced around at his suroundings. He was stood a good distance from the floor ontop of a large wooden beam. There was barely enough room for his to stand so one foot was placed against the wall to keep him balanced. Along the wal certain bricks had been removed near the floor level at equal spaces, by his command. He dropped his arm and shut his eyes. Attack of varying shape and size shot through the wall , ripping through the force by the large wooden he was defending. Cries of pain and horror vibrated against the wall into the air and Alex wondered just how many more years of this he could handle before he lost his sanity. His other hand was placed inside the pocket of his black trousers and a single fingertip stroked the leather binding of a small book. A book filled to the brim with notes on Digimon, locations, groups and Digidestined.
"Neoflamedramon, now!" Ice rained down like a terrintial storm just meters away from Alex. He could feel the cold chill of the giant oblisks of ice that now added another layer of defense to his wall. He could see other Digimon backing away in fear. Alex's eyes widened in shock as a red orb with pulsating blue light exploded on the battle field.
"What was that!" Leya asked in horror from the top of her wall. Alex looked up and remembered, she hadn't joined them on missions like this before.
"It's a joint attack between Black Wargreymon and Warrior Strikemon. Scary isn't it? They have another one as well." Alex replied, laughing slightly as he felt the force of the attack from where he was. Leya just watched on as her eye caught something. Alex looked up and she was already gone.
"Send a report to her!" Alex frowned as he over heard the orders of a small Digimon being relayed. He wondered who he was refering too. He mentally slapped himself.
"Neo! I need a lift!" Alex shouted up to his partner. Alex held his out and was instantly caught and carried away. Neoflamedramon lived up to his name as a snow Flamedramon with no armour. Instead he had blue combat trousers and snow white wings. He was in ice form however, giving him heavy steel armour.
"What's up? Apart from us I mean." Neoflamedramon joked as he carried Alex through the debirs cloud and the severly damaged land from the joint attack of Warrior Strikemom and Black Wargreymon. Alex could still feel the dying waves of energy from the attack and thanked whatever made them choose to be good guys.
"Someone has to be giving this army orders, I intend to find them." Alex said simply as he scanned whatever land, grateful that a large portion of the debris cloud had been sweapt away. He spotted a small area of elevated land where a few figures were standing , watching the battle. In a flash of burning light, an explosion tore through the defenses of the city. Alex twisted and watched as the ice wall and defensive wall had been simply destroyed by a single attack. A golden figure shot through the debris cloud. Alex figured this was who ever had launched the attack.
"Want to go back?" Neoflamedramon asked with concern. Alex thought for a second and decided against it.
"No, Leya can handle it." Alex said confidently. Time for Leya to prove she could compete with them. Alex grinned, wondering how it would turn out.
"Take us over there, I think it's time we spoke to the enemy generals." He said as his mind trailed off, wondering how exactly to approach the situation. Neoflamedramon quickly desceneded and dropped Alex off at the bottom of the incline before taking off. Alex stretched and began to make his way up. He glanced across the battlefield, watching the final moments of the siege. Alex could hear the sounds of battle nearby , Neoflamedramon was winning as far as he could. Alex watched as a Leomon fell from the top of the hill and rolled past him. He finally made it to the top of the hill and saw a young girl sitting at a basic wooden table, unconcious Digimon lay scattered. Neoflamedramon currently held at bay a Gaomon by using just one arm.
"So you're the one leading this army." Alex said to the younger girl as he took a seat next to her. She shook her head, dark brown wavy hair moving gently as she moved her head. Alex noted the scars across her light blue eyes and realised she was actually blind.
"I merely offer my advice." She replied simply. Alex nodded.
"Bit young to be assissting an army aren't you?" Alex asked he folded his arms.
"Aren't you a bit Digital to be helping Digidestined?" She replied in a flat tone. Alex raised an eyebrow.
"Perceptive. So tell me, where's the leader of this army?" Alex asked as he glanced at a fallen yellow flag. The symbol in the centre was purple and a mystery to even him.
"He is currently engaged in battle at the final wall." She replied in a neutral tone. Alex riased an eyebrow and wondered if she was somehow being blackmailed into helping the army. She seemed intelligent enough to know who was good and bad in the Digital world. Alex watched as two figures clashed back and forth in a chaotic duel but something flashed in his memory. His wall had been destroyed in a single attack. He covered his face with a single hand and groaned.
"They're going to order something expensive aren't they?" Alex rubbed his face in annoyance and sat back in the chair whilst removing the book from his pocket.
"Ichigo right?" Alex asked the girl. She barely moved her head.
"How'd you know?" She asked. Alex grinned.
"It's my job to know things."
