I don't own digimon.
Session 67
An old grudge
Elena Yuliana laid on the ground.
Had she been given the choice, she would've tried to have reason with these thugs.
But, this was not one of those situations. No, it was one where stuff such as fairness and good will had been thrown out, getting replaced with violence and disrespect.
Yet, she trusted in her team to pull through this. If nothing else, they would be able to hold out until she managed to wake up again. Just in case, she made a wish in her head, one for getting out of this alive.
"Are you so sure about that?" a voice 'whispered' and began to laugh. "You should be glad that it was just you that those fiends hit…"
.
"Crap." Alice whispered and grabbed hold of Elena's arms, turning around to face her teammates. "Since Elena is currently out at the moment, would people mind if I take the lead on this?"
'Are you sure about this?' Yokozamon whispered, getting a nod from her master. "Of course, I'll provide direct fire should something come up."
"I'll scout ahead." Consligmon whispered and motioned for Adarnamon, Issacmon, Gentleman and Chacha to follow. This left Polly, Joey, Aaron, Fatemon, Officer EMT and Lily.
"Can I just stay at the armored vehicle?" Fatemon inquired and Polly sighed. "Personally, I really don't want to die for my crimes."
The monk magi took a deep breath and walked over to the harem mage. She then whispered something under her breath, with her partner giving an assuring nod.
"I changed my mind." Fatemon muttered and took a deep breath. "But I better get that daiquiri once this all said and done, Polly."
Both Aaron and Joey stared at the harem mage, quite confused by his newfound tune. Yet, they decided to let it be for the moment.
"Is everyone ready now?" Alice inquired and took a step forward, only for a rock to slam into her back. The lucky gambler then turned around, finding Olrumon standing there. "Sorry about that, I kind of forgot you were there."
"It's alright." the rabbit idol whispered and looked up towards Alice. "I'll just work that much harder so people remember me."
With that now out of the way, the aerial digimon soared up into the sky as the humanoids got their weapons ready.
Alice infusion digivolve too… GamblerNekomon!
"Let's go then." Alice whispered and took another step forward, carefully putting Elena over her back. "Do not think of trying to mess with us!"
Snickering filled the air, quickly filling the silence that had just formed.
"You're nothing more than a gorgon in human skin." a voice added and a turtle slid over to the group. "You should just leave, especially before
"Who even are you?" Lily whispered, watching Adarnamon suddenly swoop down and sink her talons into the turtle. "Adarnamon?"
"Old wounds sometimes never heal." the bird whispered as she sunk her talons into the totally unnamed turtle's skull. "This is just one that needs to be closed."
The turtle only laughed, choosing to follow it up by opening his mouth and puking out a stream of whitish purple liquid.
Whirlwind Sting!
A large twister of wind and poison shot down and began to spin around the small clearing Delta and their opponent found themselves in. While an interesting choice, it was not the greatest move the bird could have used.
Holy Spray!
The turtle turned his attention to Adarnamon, spraying her with his mystery liquid. Whatever the liquid was, all it seemed to do was burn the bird digimon a tiny bit.
Beautiful Gaze!
Adarnamon stared intently at her foe, somehow freezing the turtle.
Incense Burn!
Reddish smoke filled the air, invigorating the sole combatant and the user. Though, it did come at the cost of visibility for everyone. Once said smoke finally cleared, the battle could go on,
Seven Song!
Adarnamon began to sing, unleashing a cross between a shriek and opera singing. Yet, it got the job done. And by that, I mean knock the poor bugger up towards the stratosphere.
"Congratulations. You beat one of us." a new voice announced as an arrow flew through the air, nearly hitting Alice. "But can you take us all on?"
The opponent got no answer, with Alice and company choosing to just ignore her. It probably didn't help that their opponent was currently out of the battlefield to even be noticed.
"Hey, I talking to you!"
Yumi Barrage!
Lily pulled the bowstring of her yumi back in rapid succession, watching as each arrow flew towards the target with a sense of grace. She would have prefered to actually being able to see who exactly she was shooting at, having sort of recognised the voice from somewhere. Where exactly, she wasn't quite sure.
"It probably doesn't matter." the korawamon whispered and shifted her yumi under her kimono. "If it really did, we would all be making a bigger deal out of it."
"You're probably right, Miss Lily." Yokozamon added and walked over, holding his hand out. "We don't want to follow behind."
"Of course."
With that, the two made their way back over to the group.
"Okay…" Consligmon muttered and turned visible, watching the two digimon in silence. Once the turkey was content, he shifted back into the shadows and made his way over to Alice. "I didn't see what I think I saw."
With that, the group headed off once more. Or would have, if it hadn't rained down more arrows.
Fox Leaf Arrowheads!
Once more, arrows rained down upon Delta. Though, this volley was slightly harder to dodge than the first. Which wasn't that much of a difference.
Dark Info!
Consligmon scanned the area, searching intently for the target. While he was very out of the habit, his gaze did eventually focus on a dark blue kitsune creature amid the many trees.
"Renamon, five o'clock." he whispered and turned visible just long enough to point in the general direction of the creature before shifting back into the shadows once more.
Overkill!
Yokozamon released his grip on Lily's hand, pulling his minigun from his back. A few seconds of spinning later, a stream of bullets shot out into that general direction. Which actually managed to hit something. In this case, the renamon.
"We will not yield to you." a voice announced as the rustling of leaves filled the air. "You shall fill the wrath of our queen!"
Blessed Bubbles!
"Can I now get a cup of tea?!" Issacmon announced as his master ignored him. Currently, the shadow scientist was attempt to convince Polly to help him make the drink.
"Please?" Joey begged, getting an indifferent look from the monk magi. "You got to know a good tea ble-"
Polly responded with a swift seaside throw, knocking him into the bubbles along with the other renamon.
"Ow." Joey whispered and peeled himself off a tree. "Did you have to do that?"
"Don't make assumptions about people." Polly whispered and watched Joey get up, only for the boy to focus his gaze on Gentleman, who was currently tearing through what few renamon remained. Consligmon also joined in the fun, flinging a couple of grenades in for good measure.
Once that was done, Delta was finally able to enter the plantation.
Arcane Flame!
Or would have, if someone else hadn't decided they wanted a piece of them.
"Seriously?" Alice remarked and took a deep breath, making sure to not drop Elena. "I'm not sure what my lo- I mean friend has done to piss you people off, but this needs to stop!"
For her shout, the gambler got no response. Not that she was really expecting one, but the thought would have been nice at least.
"She took something from us." a voice announced, as what appeared to be a female humanoid floated down towards them. She was dressed in a sapphire armor dress, which seemed to compliment her blue eyes and blonde hair. A gladius on both sides of her, both of which this person seemed willing to use on them.
"Most of our masters are gone, having left for a better place. In a way, this was the last thing we could do to honor them." the person explained as Delta watched on.
"We're sorry for your loss." Alice whispered and held her hand out, watching their possible opponent give her a confused look. "While I realize this won't help you, my friends and I offer our dee-"
"SHUT UP!"
Everyone took a step back, watching as the woman pulled both of her gladius out and charged towards Alice. The gambler mumbled something under her breath and put Elena down. She pulled her guns out and took a deep breath, firing a single shot.
Time seemed to slow down, with everyone watching as the projectile made its way toward the target, who had decided standing there was the best move.
Mas-
Before she could unleash her move, the bullet fell to the ground.
"You missed." their opponent remarked and watched as Alice holstered her gun and reverted to her human form.
"I know." the gambler remarked and made a quick glance towards her love, returning it to their still unnamed opponent afterwards. "This mess is just as much my fault as it was her's. If this route is the one you and your friends truly wish to go down, you must take us both of us down at least."
Their opponent only spitted on the ground and laughed.
"Then we've made our choice then." the magical girl answered as sparks gathered upon her blades. "I'm sorry, but not really."
Alice ignored her, choosing to reach for Elena's comatose body. No matter what happened, she would make sure her friend would survive. Even if it meant giving up hers in exchange. Well, she wouldn't go that far, but you get the idea.
She closed her eyes and grabbed hold of her love's left hand, squeezing it tight as the blades swung down towards them.
Unity: Gale Revolver!
Energy surged through both girls, forcing them both to their feet. They then 'charged' their weapons out, letting out a large twister of wind and bullets. Once that was done, they finished it up with a final slash and gunshot.
"Oh, I'm up." Elena remarked and looked around the area, finding that they still had not even entered the plantation.
In the time it took for Delta to deal with all the attacks, the bright blue sky had turned a nice shade of orange.
"Let's try this again, shall we?" Adarnamon suggested and the group headed off, finally able to enter the base of operations for the dark blades. But as they did, everything went black...
Notes:
Man, they couldn't catch a break at all.
This one took far longer than it should have. Oh well. I liked it how it turned out, though.

Next Time: Long time no see...
