I don't own digimon.
Session 33
Crossroads
Falling.
Almost always, this seemed to be the first action one did when they entered a new dimension/world.
Currently, the members of Delta found themselves doing exactly that. Somehow, this somehow didn't stop them from engaging in some activities for the meantime.
"A-a-a-a-are you alright?" Cutemon whispered, examining Polly's arm. While the monk magi was capable of using it quite proficiently, the appendage made no sense from a medical standpoint. It was probably had something to do with magic, even if the rabbit had no clue how to test that theory.
"Yeah, it seems so strange." Polly whispered, moving her new arm around some more. "Maybe that has to do with magic or just possibly the sheer amount of power I had put into that one blow."
Aegiochusmon and Chacha glided over, both of them now covered with oily splotches.
"We were just doing stuff." Aegiochusmon started, only for a manga book to fall out from his left knee pad and possibly killing a person on the ground. "Well crud."
Chacha only laughed, patting the harem mage's shoulder.
"Come on, we'll land eventually." the robot explained, her gaze focusing on Polly. "So, how are you feeling?"
Polly tossed the robot away from her, only for it glide back over to the trio.
"How much farther?" Adarnamon inquired, only to slam into the ground. The rest of them landed far less spectacularly, actually landing instead of slamming into the ground.
Like Mahora, the ground was going for a monotone color scheme. Unlike the wayward school for harem mages, everything else actually had color. Even if that appeared to be just brown and gray.
Currently, they found themselves in one of a small town full of tiny houses made of stone and wood. A bunch of cutemon were scattered in a bloody heap all around town, their bodies just pincushions. A pair of gravestones had been erected in the middle of the area, their owners unknown.
"Just great." Cutemon thought, falling to his knees as tears began to roll down his eyes. "Of all the places we could have gone, it just had to be here..."
While the rabbit had long lost track of how much time had passed since he had left this place, the memories were still quite fresh in his mind. Images of arrows raining down upon countless people flooded back, bringing nothing but pain and sorrow.
Cutemon then collapsed to the ground, only for Aaron to come over and comfort him.
"It'll be alright, bud." Aaron explained, patting his partner's back. "We'll get to the bottom of this."
"Are you sure about that?"
A flashbang then went off, knocking them all unconscious.
When they awoke, Aaron laid comatose on the ground.
"Good, you're awake."
Their gazes honed in on the voice, which turned out to be Talos. His gaze was focused on just Lily, the rest of them nonexistent in his eyes.
"What about Jestery?"
Everyone turned to the right, finding the jester off in a corner and eating a pizza. Even then, it was one of those nice deluxe pizzas cut into arrow-shaped pieces.
"Please leave." Elena remarked, only for the jester to teleport away and the group returned their gaze to their 'captor'. "As you were saying?"
"Right." Talos answered, clearing his throat. "We have a murder mystery on our hands, with the culprit among us."
Everyone just stared at him, totally confused by this recent statement.
"Are you sure you're doing this whole 'villain' thing right?" Alice inquired, only for Talos to roll his eyes. "I could bet money on the fact you're not our enemy."
"How can you be so sure? After all, I could be just holding back..."
Alice pulled her left pistol out and fired, everyone watching as the bullet slammed into the angel's helm.
*You know something, don't you?" Alice announced, a smile forming on her face. "After all, why do you keeping following us?*
Talos didn't respond, charging towards the gambler. Alice only stepped out of the way and allowed her opponent to slam into the graves.
"Because I'm the bad guy!"
Alice only rolled her eyes and laughed, firing both of her guns off.
"Kid, this isn't Wreck-it Ralph.*
Astamon and Gobblemon then ran up to her.
Celestial Shower!
A storm of arrows headed towards the trio, Alice now holding both of her pistols out.
Ghostflare!
She then fired her right pistol, watching the bullet curve around her target. A shotgun blast then rang out, signaling that the attack worked.
"And to think, I nearly broke your back when we first met."
The gambler only laughed, ready to do something she hadn't been able to do in quite a while.
Alice infusion digivolve too... NekoGamblermon!
For once, she had a chance to not fuck this up. As such, she did the natural thing for her.
Card of Chance!
Alice drew the top card of her deck, breathing a sigh of relief. It was the five of spades, which had the picture of an incredibly drunk guy. Afterwards, Talos now seemed to stagger about and looked just about ready to throw up. The gambler made a quick glance at her pocketwatch, finding it now ticking.
"Ready to take this to the next level?* Alice inquired, only for both digimon to nod.
Astamon infusion digivolve too... Yokozamon!
Gobblemon infusion digivolve too... Consligmon!
In the place of the jackal man, now stood a large anthropomorphic Yak dressed in a large yellow kimono. On his back, was a minigun.
For Gobblemon however, a shadow was all that remained. Even then, you could just faintly make out a turkey pretending to be a spy.
Scanning...

Alice: Isn't one of those moves from Aegiochusmon?

Consligmon: What? Were now doing my analyzer entry?
The author: Technically.
Consligmon: Huh?
The author: I know. It'll be fixed eventually.
Consligmon: It better be.
Scan Complete.
*Now that's what I'm talking about!" Alice shouted, her smile growing even larger. As that happened, 'Run Around' from the Digimon Adventure and 02 dubs began to play.
Conslig Special!
The shadowy turkey pulled a moonshine jar out, lobbing it towards the drunken opponent.
Overkill!
Yokozamon then pulled his minigun off his back and fired, watching as the two attacks collided and created a small explosion in the vicinity of Talos.
Ghostflare!
Alice unloaded a full clip upon the angel, listening to each shotgun blast with a sense of pride.
"U wen thos rund..." Talos slurred, only to drunkenly teleport away. After, the gambler reverted back as the gazes of her teammates focused on her.
"S-s-s-s-so, who did this?" Cutemon inquired, only for Alice to sigh and pat his back.
"Lily did this." Alice whispered as Lily just stood there.
Supersonic Wave!
Cutemon then screamed, his gaze focusing right on plush.
"How dare you!" the rabbit announced, still getting no response from Lily. "Did you even give a single utmost care about all those lives you slaughtered that day?!"
Lily only sighed, continuing to stand like a statue.
"I've only made two mistakes I ever regretted." she started, finally staring back towards her accuser. "And this is the second one."
Notes:
So, the first two chapters of DAO have now been edited by yours truly. While some stuff has changed, it still mostly the same events.
Start of a new arc! Whoo!
If you enjoyed this, please review. It really does help me out.
