"Stop it! It hurts too much! It hurts." Davis shouted as he was in a lot of pain.
"Quit being a baby." Ryoto said. Davis was able to make it back to the base thanks to Ryoto. This happened a little while after Davis' encounter with Tsukuyomi. Ryoto was trying to match up Davis' injuries, but she was adding to the harm.
"Ow! Are you trying to kill me?" Davis said.
"I am trained to do that, but that's not the case." Ryoto said.
"I find it amazing that Tsukuyomi's shi no buki is the same as yours." Shauna said.
"Yeah. That threw me off for a moment too, but Tsukuyomi's strength is unbelievable." Davis said. "I wasn't able to do a thing. He completely countered everything that I did. Where's Ayame?"
"Don't you remember? She isn't here." Marine said.
"She went to get something, but she didn't say what it was she was getting." Leona said.
"Is there anything about them you can tell us? Were you able to find anything out?" Ryoto asked.
"Not really." Davis said. "We went out to try to find the base. Doesn't look like any of them were able to. Other than learning what Tsukuyomi is all about, I didn't learn much of anything."
"At least you were able to learn something about Tsukuyomi. None of us have really faced him before." Shauna said.
"Anywya, you're injuries don't look that bad." Ryoto said. "We should all get some rest. It sounds like you had one heck of a day, Davis. We all also need to be ready for anything since Ayame is away." All of them agreed and were just about ready to call it a day.
….
Night
Later that night, none of them were aware yet that their base was found. Kageyama stayed out through most of the day and he was actually able to find the base.
"I finally found them and with all of them asleep, I'll destroy the entire place." Kageyama whispered and was using the power of his shi no buki. Everyone was asleep and none of them were aware that Kageyama was close by.
"I need some water." Ryoto said as she got out of bed and headed for the kitchen. She didn't seem to be aware that something was creeping in the shadows. She kept walking down the hall with something crawling on the ceiling and it kept following her. The stranger jumped to attack as it held out its arm, but Ryoto turned around and deflected it. "You thought you could sneak up on me."
"Kill Raiders."
"Show yourself." Ryotto demanded. The strange crawled out. It looked like a male human with black tight clothing on his arms and legs with a black mask. It went to attack her and kept using its hands like claws, but Ryoto was able to block each of the attacks and jumped back.
"What's all the noise about?" Davis said as he came out of his room.
"Look for yourself." Ryoto said and he saw the strange man.
"Who the hell is he?" Davis asked.
"Kill Raiders." He repeated. He went for another attack, but Ryoto moved faster and stabbed him through the chest.
"Whoever he is, is dead now." Ryoto said as she pulled out her sword, but it wasn't blood that was pouring out. It was ones and zeros that came pouring out and he turned into that.
"What was he? Was he a digimon?" Davis said.
"No." Ryoto said as she recognized this work. "This was Kageyama's doing!" As soon as she said that, windows started smashing with copies of the same man.
"What the hell?! What's going on?" Davis said.
"Kageyama must have actually found our base." Ryoto said as she grabbed Davis and they started running. "Sound the alarm. We have an intruder." Kageyama was able to form all of the same creation at a safe distance. Sakusei generated more and more and he gave the appearance of them made out of data and they were like insects infesting the base as they scaled walls.
"Enjoy your night, Raiders. It will be your last one." Kageyama said. He was enjoying the sight until he heard some sort of explosion go off and made a hole in the wall. "What was that?"
"Get out of our home!" Marine shouted out as she jumped out of the hole and fired away at Kageyama's creations. Shauna flew out with her wings out and shot out her feathers and took some of them out.
"They appear to be everywhere." Shauna said.
"We've got to find Kageyama. Taking him down is the only way we can get rid of these freaks." Marine said, but with there being so many of them, finding Kageyama wouldn't be easy.
"Kill Raiders."
"Put a sock in it." Marine said as she changed her weapon to a pistol and shot them all in the head. "Kageyama set them up like organic matter even though they're not. Strike at the head and they all go down."
"Kill Raiders!" One came up behind her, but Davis slashed it down before she could even react.
"This is a nice change of pace. It's like a video game." Davis said through his mask.
"You're wearing your mask?" Marine wondered.
"I have to. If Kageyama learns who I really am, there goes our advantage over them." Davis said.
"What about your injuries?" Marine asked.
"It still hurts, but I'll pull through." Davis said as he clutched his chest..
"Stay focus!" Ryoto called out as she dived out into the open and sliced a few of them down. 'This is posing a problem. None of them are made out of flesh and blood.' She thought. 'No blood, no extra power.' "Angel, get into the air and see if you can spot Kageyama."
"On it." Shauna said as she flew up. It might have been dark, but she tried to look around to find him.
"Sorry. There's no flying today." Kageyama said as he formed a targeting system. He held up his right arm and the cylinders fired green lasers. Shauna saw them and tried to avoid them, but she ended up getting hit and crashed to the ground and she was badly hurt with blood and burns on her right arm and back.
"Angel!" Davis shouted as he saw a few of Kageyama's creations surrounding her and some were trying to block him off. "Out of my way!" He sliced a few of them down and tried to reach her. One grabbed her by the head and lifted her up to kill her.
"No touching." Leona came to the rescue as she grabbed it by the head and smashed it to the ground.
"Hey! You stole my thunder!" Davis complained as Leona helped Shauna stand.
"Are you okay?" Leona asked.
"I think, but I can barely lift my arm." Shauna said.
"What took you so long?" Davis said.
"I had to get changed. I sleep….in my birthday suit." Leona said as she tried to put images in his head.
"Now is so not the time for that!" Davis yelled, but he dropped to one knee as his injuries were starting to catch up to him and he was in a lot of pain.
"You two rest up. We've got this." Leona said as she sat Shauna down and used Yasei to give her strength and lion claws to smash Kageyama's minions.
"Looks like they're being overwhelmed. I have them now." Kageyama said as he was starting to see victory.
"We need assistance!" Ryoto called out and she got her answers. Some of the soldiers that work for them came out and aided them in the fight as they tried to fight with them.
"Fire!" Marine ordered as they all fired with her and took some of them out. A couple of them came out to help Davis and Shauna with injuries.
"Are you two alright?"
"Don't worry about me." Davis said as he sliced one of them down. "I can still put up a good fight."
"You mustn't overwork yourselves. You'll make your injuries worse than they already are."
"We'll be fine." Shauna said as she was able to shoot a couple feathers and hit another minion. "We'll keep fighting until we can't anymore." While all of them were fighting, Kageyama was analyzing the situation.
"So they have a little army of their own. That isn't going to stop me." Kageyama said. He kept making more and more of those things, but he pulled half of the wires away to make something else. He formed something else as it gave the appearance of data gathering together. It formed a seat for him to sit on and it soon became a technological cannon. Seeing it formed is what had them notice where Kageyama is.
"There! I see the bastard!" Leona said.
"What the hell did he make this time?" Marine said.
"Say your prayers." Kageyama said as he took aim at them and they could see what he was doing.
"Oh god! Everyone, take cover!" Ryoto called out. It was too late as Kageyama powered the cannon up and it fired an energy blast. All of them tried to take cover from it, but blast hit and the explosion went off. Most of them were sent flying or caught by the explosion.
"Ha! Talking about going out with a bang!" Kageyama laughed. Most of the team was knocked down by that blast. Davis was able to get back up, but saw most of their soldiers were dead.
"Damn it. Vampira! Top Gun! Leona! Angel! Please tell me you're all alright." Davis called out and pleaded. All four of them were able to survive the blast, but each of them took a hard hit.
"Stop screaming like a banshee. I think my ears are about to begin ringing." Marine said. Davis tried to stand back up, but his injuries kept him down and new ones formed with blood flowing out of his bandages. He looked around and saw more of the strange men coming out.
"Kill Raiders."
"Damn these things. They just keep coming." Davis said. "Just how many of these things did that tech freak make?" Kageyama looked out to the damage he did and believed he has won the battle.
"I did it! I took them all out by myself!" Kageyama said. "Hurry up and kill all of them so I can claim my glory." All of his minions started to surround them and it didn't look like there was way out for them. It seemed like the end, but out of nowhere, someone dropped out of the sky.
"What the?" Leona said.
"Who is that?" Kageyama said. No one seemed to know who it was. It was a guy that had blue/grey hair. He wore a blue jacket with a grey shirt and black leather pants and gloves. He carried a blue trident as well.
"I leave you guys alone for a few hours and this is what I come back to?" All of them looked to the woods and they saw Ayame came back.
"Boss!" Ryoto said.
"What's going on? Who is this?" Davis said.
"Watch and see, Silver Moon." Ayame said. The mysterious man just stood there and stared at Kageyama.
"Why are all of you just standing there? Kill him!" Kageyama ordered. All of his creations focused on the mysterious boy and went to attack him.
"What a bother." He said as he swung the trident around and took a few of them out. He jumped up and formed a blue fireball from the trident and shot it down with it burning them down.
"Wait a second. Is that Bluemin?" Shauna asked.
"Bluemin?" Davis wondered who that was. The man named Bluemin struck one of the minions in the chest and deleted it. He spewed fired from his trident and took them down. Blue flames continued to flare around the trident as he struck each of them down and he wasn't having any trouble.
"Who the hell is this guy? He's taking them all down like it's nothing." Kageyama said. Bluemin finished each of them off and turned to face Kageyama.
"Creating these abominations to do your dirty work? What a coward's tactic." Bluemin said.
"You think I'm a coward? How's this for being a coward?" Kageyama said as he powered up the cannon again.
"Get out of there!" Marine shouted, but it was too late as Kageyama shot out the blast and Bluemin was caught right in the center of the explosion with the others getting blown back from the impact.
"That should do it. No one could have survived that." Kageyama said. He thought Bluemin was dead, but he was proven wrong. Something came walking through the flames of the explosion and it was frightening. It looked like the devil with it in red full-body armor, wings, and glowing yellow eyes. "No way! What is he? Is he the actual devil?"
"Was that it?" Bluemin said as he held out the trident and launched more flames with it being red this time. He shot it towards the cannon and Kageyama jumped out of the way with the cannon being destroyed. The armor folded off his body and was fading away like magic.
"Amazing! How did he survive?" Davis said.
"Hold on a second. Is that trident the final shi no buki?" Kageyama said.
"Hey! How did you do that?" Davis asked.
"This is Akuma." Bluemin said. "It allows me to manipulate and produce fire. When I activate that armor, no form of fire can harm me and power increases greatly." Bluemin kept his focus on Kageyama and ran right towards him. Kageyama got back up and saw Bluemin reached him. He swung his trident. Kageyama moved back, but ended up getting cut across the chest.
"Forget this. I didn't expect someone like you to show up." Kageyama as he formed a jetpack on his back and flew off. "You're in trouble now, Raiders. Now that I know where you are, I'll be back." He flew off just as the sun rose and everyone was impressed with Bluemin.
"He's unreal!" Davis said. The final wielder of a shi no buki has arrived, but is he really a friend?
….
Davis: This guy shows up out of nowhere and saves us. I thought this guy wanted to remain neutral.
Leona: He does, but he does seem to help out when he's needed.
Davis: So is this guy a hero, a show off, or a hothead?
Bluemin: I'm the guy who will burn you if you don't watch what you say.
