Chapter 15: Orbital Weapon Gunslinger, part 2
While Takato's group set up a beachhead for the Faction in the west, Shibumi drove his humvee through the northern mountains bordering the North and East Sectors. The mountains were packed tightly together in a range, leaving only enough space for a two lane road. The long trip down the road was made even longer by the winding of the road, which forced Shibumi to slow his humvee slow. He couldn't afford to crash into a mountain side accidentally.
The humvee eventually entered a large, lush valley surrounded by the mountains. The Tamers had entered Amaterasu's version of the Tyranno Valley according to their maps. Like its Asuka counterpart, they could make out several fossilized bones embedded in the stone of the mountain sides. The Tamers could see several dinosaur-like Digimon living in the valley. The fossils, dinosaurs, and jungle-like landscape gave the area a prehistoric appearance.
Akira consulted his maps. "The chief's mountain should be right up ahead. The ledges are too narrow for our humvee so we'll need to climb on foot."
The Tamers parked their humvee at the base of the chief's mountain and continued the rest of the way on foot. After a fairly arduous journey, they reached the peak and found a throne made from fossilized dinosaur bones. Before the throne was the chief Digimon, a Black Imperialdramon. He was a massive dragon with white hair and scaly skin that was as black as obsidian. It had gold claws, black body armour. An energy cannon had been grafted onto his back.
"Why are you here, human?" asked Black Imperialdramon.
"We're representatives of the Megadeath Faction. We're here to request your assistance to resist the AoA," replied Akira.
"...And what can a small group like yours hope to accomplish against the might of the AoA?" asked Black Imperialdramon.
"We have taken the entire North Sector away from the AoA," replied Akira.
"A great accomplishment, I'll admit, but having a single city will not be enough to stop the AoA. My answer is no. I don't want my people involved." At that moment, a great column of azure light flashed in the north! "What's going on?"
"Wasn't that where we came from?" asked Suzie.
"Yeah," replied Frosty. "Somehow, I don't like the look of it."
"Hello, is anyone there? Please answer!" cried Shibumi into his radio.
Shibumi got a moment of static before a female Faction communications officer responded. "This is Xuanwu communications."
"What happened there?" asked Akira.
"The AoA hit Xuanwu with some kind of new orbital weapon. Everyone's panicking and there are fires everywhere!"
"What about Nassor and Megadeath? Are they alright?" asked Shibumi.
"Don't worry, they're unharmed. Wait, Mr. Ghana just stepped in. I'll put him on the line."
"Yes?" asked Nassor.
"Nassor, it's good to hear from you! We heard the AoA just attacked Xuanwu!" said Shibumi.
"Yeah, they did. They nailed us with some new beam cannon from space. We'll need to find it and take it out; otherwise they'll just keep wrecking every city we try to capture. We need you to abort your mission and return to Xuanwu for further instructions."
"Well, this was a bust," commented Lillith.
"Yeah, we came out here for nothing!" agreed Lopmon.
"Well, looks like it's time for us to go, Black Imperialdramon," said Akira. "It's time we head home."
The Tamer squad descended the mountain and returned back to the North Sector in disappointment. After four days of travel, the Tamers returned to Xuanwu City to find it in ruins. Several buildings had been burned down and demolished by the AoA's new super weapon. Along the ground, the Tamers could see a black trail that indicated where the beam had travelled. The charred earth and destruction led straight to the Central Office. After the attack, it no longer existed.
As the Tamers looked around the area, they encountered an electronics store that had survived the AoA attack. The AoA boasted on their propaganda news stations about dealing a crippling blow to the Faction. The AoA had outfitted their space station, "Gunslinger," with a new orbital beam weapon called the "Ragnarok Cannon." The AoA turned their new toy on Xuanwu to make an example of it to anyone who dared oppose the AoA.
"They really did a number on this place," commented Darkfryer.
"I hope everybody is okay..." said Suzie.
Akira's squad eventually found Nassor overseeing the clearing of the Central Office's rubble. At the same time, Ryo's border guards came back. "You came back!" said Nassor. "As you can see, the AoA really did a number on our city. We need your help to take out the AoA's new Ragnarok Cannon."
"Man, this place is a mess," commented Kenta.
"Yeah, I'm glad I wasn't around here when the beam hit," said Ryo.
After giving instructions to the clean-up crew, Nassor called a meeting to discuss ways to deal with Gunslinger. "We have Xuanwu City now, but the Ragnarok Cannon's firing cost us much of our military power," began Megadeath.
"We'll need to take out Gunslinger, but it will not be easy," admitted Megadeath. "Gunslinger is protected by several energy cannons. The AoA has also several fighters stationed there to protect it from attack. Even if we somehow manage to cut through these defences, there's no telling what Gunslinger might crash into upon re-entry."
"Then we'll need some way control its fall," observed Ryo.
"Datamon and I can hack into Gunslinger's main computer and upload a virus to take it down," announced Shibumi. "All you have to worry about how you'll get us in there."
"That's going to be a toughie," admitted Lillith. "There will be guards inside too."
"Actually, this gives me a great idea," said Akira. "Since we're going to Gunslinger anyways, why not milk it for what it's worth? Why don't we use the Ragnarok Cannon to our advantage? Shibumi, can you do it?"
"Yeah," replied the Monster Maker. "I could do that, but I'd need to know the target."
"Simple, aim for Amaterasu City's Admin Centre," said Akira. "Gunslinger will become our trump card in reclaiming the Servers!"
The others were impressed by this idea. "Yeah, great idea," said Megadeath. "We can get solve two problems all in one swoop!"
"Why stop there?" asked Darkfryer. "Let's take out as much AoA as we can."
"Wow, imagine that! We could win if we can pull this off!" commented Kenta.
"Yep, this is an opportunity we can't afford to miss!" stressed Nassor. "We're pulling out all the stops for this one. Here's how we'll do it..."
After extensive preparations, the Faction was ready to undertake its most crucial mission. They had recalled Takato's group and had them hide in Protocol Forest pending further orders. Their mission was to destroy Gunslinger and Amaterasu Admin Centre. Their secondary mission was to knock out the military bases that protected Amaterasu City. Ryo's team was tasked with clearing out enemies within the space station. The priority of Akira's team was to get Shibumi and Datamon to the main computer as safely and as quickly as possible.
In the upper reaches of Amaterasu's atmosphere, several Guard Tamer fighters advanced on Gunslinger. These sleek black space fighters resembled flying arrowheads. In each cockpit were a pilot and his or her Digimon co-pilot, who provided their craft with unique abilities. The Guard Tamer squadrons made an unerring beeline for the space station, alarming its defenders into action. The AoA launched their fighters as Gunslinger's defences opened fire.
The space around Gunslinger became alit with bolts of energy being fired back and forth by the two sides. A Guard Tamer fighter with a Flare Lizamon, the fiery counterpart of the Dark Lizamon, came in for an attack run. Gunslinger's cannons turned to the fighter and unleashed a hail of energy bolts. The pilot bobbed and weaved his way past the attack, returning fire all the while. The pilot launched a pair of fireballs which melted one of the defence turrets.
The battle continued with the Faction successfully destroying several of Gunslinger's defensive cannons. This event signalled the second wave of the assault, the boarding of the space station. While the battle raged around them, several bulky, troop transport ships advanced on the vulnerable Gunslinger. Halfway to their destination, the enemy fighters noticed the transports and opened fired on them. In response, the transports returned fire to repel their annoying attackers.
Akira's transport rocked as the enemy rained energy on it. "Man, where's our cover?"
Some of the Faction's fighters broke from the main battle to intercept the enemy fighters. The two sides exchanged seemingly endless bolts of energy. An AoA fighter rained bolts which struck a Faction fighter, causing its power core to overload and explode. A Faction fighter snuck into the six o'clock position of the AoA fighter and opened fire. The AoA fighter took heavy damage and spiralled into a headfirst crash with the side of Gunslinger.
The transports reached Gunslinger and drilled a hole into its chassis. "Okay everybody, go, go, go!" cried a Faction soldier.
A legion of Mekanorimon armed with Gatling guns dropped into the space station. The action flared up immediately with the rattling bangs of the firing Gatling guns. The Mekanorimon proceeded to mow down anything that stood in their way. Ryo's squad turned on their exoskeletons and moved into Gunslinger. After the Mekanorimon had cleaned out the AoA, it was safe for them to move in.
The halls of Gunslinger were tinted red by the flashing of a warning light. The blaring alarm klaxon could not drown out the sounds of gunshots further down the hallways. Ryo's group moved down the halls. They entered a lounge and met up with a group of three AoA Tamers passing through the room as they rushed to Gunslinger's defence. Their Digimon was a motley group like the Tamers', consisting of the vampiric Myotismon, the robotic Volcamon, and a Gatomon.
"I'll take care of this!" stated Impmon, who promptly Digivolved into Beelzemon Blast Mode.
The demon lord immediately pulled out a pair of handguns and time seemed to slow to a crawl. Beelzemon fired his guns as he advanced and could see the bullets make ripples through the air. The bullets struck the enemy Digimon, making them flinch with each hit. The bullets continued to pour out of his gun until all of the Digimon were knocked off their feet. With the Digimon down, Beelzemon dodged the shots of their Tamers and turned his weapons on them.
He proceeded to mow down the Tamers in an expedient manner. "Okay, let's go!" cried Beelzemon triumphantly.
As Ryo's group cleaned out Gunslinger, Akira's squad entered the space station to complete their mission. The young Guard Tamer immediately assumed his True GAIA form for greater fighting capability. The others were briefly in awe of Akira's new form; that of an angel made of glowing blue metal with wings of flaming golden energy. His face was featureless save for a pair of flaming gold eyes. He carried a sword with a blade of black negative energy that rumbled. Akira was intent on winning this battle.
True GAIA turned to the others. "Let's go, we're wasting time here!"
With True GAIA and his Digimon taking point and Seiko and Frosty bringing up the rear, the squad traversed Gunslinger's hallways. The group ran afoul of a five soldier AoA patrol, prompting True GAIA to charge in with preternatural speed. The avenging angel promptly gutted one of the soldiers with his sword while Lillith and Darkfryer blasted two others with negative energy attacks. Datamon sent a Nano Swarm with shocked the remaining ones into unconsciousness. The group continued until they found their destination, the main computer room.
The two guards at the door sprang into action and opened fire. True GAIA held his sword before him and absorbed the shots into the blade. Frosty stepped forward and popped the guards the snowballs from a pair of Subzero Ice Punches. The guards fell onto the ground dazed and Frosty invoked the Snowstorm Online technique to freeze them solid. However, the guards had served their purpose in distracting the Tamers long enough for the door to close.
True GAIA thrust his sword into the doors in an attempt to cut an entry hole open. The door was thick and impossible to cut through. "A little help here guys?"
Datamon checked the keypad and attempted to rig the door to open. "This is a complicated lock. It's going to take me some time to crack it."
Lopmon and Frosty fired ice onto the door to make it brittle and easier to cut through. The ice had little effect. "If you could make the door go hot and cold suddenly, maybe we can crack it open," suggested Shibumi. "Can anyone use fire?"
"I can," replied Darkfryer.
True GAIA withdrew his sword from the door. "Let me help too."
Lopmon and Frosty immediately pelted the door with as much ice as they could create. Immediately afterwards, True GAIA and Darkfryer heated the door up with fire. The four alternated exposure of the door to ice and fire. Frosty sent a Subzero Ice Punch to the door which tore a large chunk of its metal off. The guards inside fired out of the hole but Shibumi and Seiko returned fire. After wearing the door down through repeated heating and freezing, the Tamers broke in.
"You guys in first, I'll cover the rear!" cried True GAIA. More guards came from that direction and opened fire but he absorbed the shots and dispatched the guards with lightning.
Lillith burst into the room and downed a Greymon with her Lightning Paw attack. Lopmon followed and bounced around the shots of a pair of guards before freezing them solid with Blazing Ice. Datamon shocked the general in charge to unconsciousness with a Nano Swarm as Darkfryer blasted a Kabuterimon with Dread Fire. With all the guards down, Shibumi rushed to the main console and began to take control of Gunslinger.
After Seiko and True GAIA entered the room, Frosty and Lopmon sealed the hole with solid ice. "They won't get into the room now," commented Lopmon.
"So how's it going?" True GAIA asked Shibumi.
"I've got the re-entry virus uploaded, now for the firing virus..." After some quick typing, Shibumi gained access to Gunslinger's Ragnarok Cannon. "I'm in!"
"Good! Take out the Admin Centre!" commanded True GAIA.
"Yes sir!" replied Shibumi jovially.
Shibumi punched in commands on the keyboard and the Ragnarok Cannon began to charge. Once done, Shibumi hit a large red button and the cannon discharged a powerful coherent blue beam. On the ground, all seemed to be quiet in Amaterasu City. The people moved about on their business though somewhat strained by the presence of AoA soldiers and Digimon. Suddenly, the beam descended on Amaterasu's Admin Centre, shattering that scene of peace and order.
The beam ripped through the Admin Centre's roof, rupturing a massive hole in the metal and concrete. The beam began to trace circles over the building, melting everything in its path. Amaterasu's civilians began to panic. Discord and anarchy replaced what was once a scene of peace and order. The people began to flee in terror upon realizing the city was under attack. The guards were taxed to the limit to calm the panic of the people.
Back in space, Shibumi watched the Admin Centre crumble under the power of the AoA's own weapon. "Good, now get those military bases," urged True GAIA.
Shibumi fired the Ragnarok Cannon again, this time at a military base on the eastern outskirts of Amaterasu City. The Tamers watched as the beam reduced the hi-tech compound into nothing but ash in mere moments. However, firing the cannon so soon after the first shot had major consequences. Shibumi's screen told him that the cannon had become too hot. Any further shots would cause it to break down and render it useless.
"Who cares if it breaks down?" asked Seiko rhetorically. "We're going to send this thing into the ocean anyways..."
"Go ahead Shibumi, fire the cannon one more time," said True GAIA. "Let's milk this for what it's worth."
Shibumi fired the Ragnarok Cannon a third time, demolishing a second military base to the north of Amaterasu City. Upon doing so, a warning came upon the screen announcing that the cannon had overheated and broke down. With the Ragnarok Cannon rendered useless, Shibumi activated the re-entry virus to destroy Gunslinger. The screen displayed the inevitable result of the virus; the decay of Gunslinger's orbit and its crash into the sea west of Amaterasu City.
Gunslinger shook as it tilted and began to re-enter Amaterasu Server's atmosphere. "Let's get out of here!" cried Suzie.
Darkfryer melted the ice with his flames and the Tamers fled the control room with utmost haste. They rushed down the hallways trying to flee back to their drop ship. Gunslinger rumbled as it began to re-enter the atmosphere. The alarm klaxon continued its blaring, but this time, it was warning about Gunslinger's decaying orbit. The Tamers ran through seemingly endless hallways just to return to their ship. They weren't the only ones fleeing.
Both the AoA and the Faction's troops were scrambling to reach a means of escape from the sinking ship that was Gunslinger. The Tamers bumped into Ryo's group which was running away as well. "Hey guys, you did it!" cried Ryo over the blaring klaxon.
"Yeah!" replied Seiko.
"Hey guys, less talking and more running!" decried Kazu.
Gunslinger continued its rumbling as it moved closer and closer to the Server. The combined Tamer group reached their craft. After a brief headcount, no one was found to be missing. "Pilot, get us out of here!" ordered True GAIA.
The pilot started the drop ship without saying a word and sped away from the sinking Gunslinger. Through the windows, the Tamers could see the space station shrink as it disappeared into the distance. On the surface, Black Imperialdramon could see the space station soaring across the sky. He and his dragon and dinosaur Digimon watched as Gunslinger travelled westward to the city of Amaterasu like a shooting star.
Gunslinger reached Amaterasu City, which was still in the grip of panic over the razing of the Admin Centre. The people were still in fear and the military was trying to restore order. Gunslinger cast a massive shadow over the city that the people could not ignore. A panel from its body broke off and tumbled onto the ground below. The people scattered in terror and the panel landed with a deafening clang on an intersection, crushing several cars underneath like soda cans.
Gunslinger sank westward over the horizon as it reached Plug Cape. The local Digimon of the cape fled as the space station came dangerously close to the ground. Gunslinger was mere metres from the ground and descending rapidly. The space station travelled a few metres into the ocean before hitting the water with a splash. It continued to skid along the surface of the ocean before the water's resistance stopped its motion. The space station slowly sank into the depths as the ocean swallowed it in a watery grave.
The fall of Gunslinger had awakened feelings that the AoA had thought long suppressed. They had done everything in their power to crush dissent from controlling the media to the arresting and killing of political activists. Once the Admin Centre had come down, the AoA were thrown into disarray. The people threw off the yoke of fear the AoA had placed on them. Their anger and resentment had been boiling under the surface and came bursting at this very moment. The AoA had to put down a violent riot, the people's revolution against their despotic master.
A group of young men tossed a rock into a jewellery store, shattering its glass window. They immediately entered through the broken window and made off with all the valuables they could carry. Another set of both human and Digimon rioters, ganged up on a AoA humvee and toppled it over using only their bare hands. The Greymon puffed a fireball into the vehicle's underside, causing its fuel tank to burst and the vehicle to catch on fire. The rioters jumped up and down and danced to cheer their destruction of AoA property.
While the people of Amaterasu revolted against their AoA masters, the Faction lurked in the distance. With the AoA's own people rebelling against them, they intended to take advantage of this to put the final nail in the AoA's coffin. In Wire Forest, Takato's group was lounging around waiting for commands from the Faction's leadership. The change in plans had accelerated the Faction's plans to attack Amaterasu City greatly and the final battle would soon begin.
Takato had finished a plate of spaghetti. "Mmm!" quipped Takato as he rubbed his belly.
Rika came upon him in the mess hall. "Hi Takato!"
"Oh, hi Rika!"
"Umm listen, I want to talk to you about Jeri."
"Yeah, Jeri's been very quiet lately..." remarked Takato. "She still hasn't got over about our rendezvous at the motel."
"Yeah, I know," agreed Rika. "That's why I want to talk to you. Takato, do you love Jeri?"
"Wha?" asked Takato, not even finishing his word.
"Do you love Jeri?"
"To be honest, I used to have a crush on her, but now I don't feel the same way. You've become very special to me, Rika."
Rika smiled. "Wise choice, Takato. If you went for her, I would've sent one right to the noggin." Rika made a fist to emphasize her point.
Takato chuckled meekly. "Yeah, I know, but I'm still worried about Jeri."
"Jeri has to understand you were never her's to begin with. I honestly think she's only jealous because she doesn't have your attention anymore."
"I see," admitted Takato.
Takato's radio beeped with a message from Megadeath. "Tamers, are you there?
"Yeah, we're here," replied Takato.
Megadeath was pleased. "Good, begin the attack immediately. It looks like a major revolt has broken out in the city. Amaterasu City is in chaos and the AoA are swamped. When you attack, leave the rioters alone. Focus only on the AoA troops."
"Okay, gotcha!" replied Takato. "Well Rika, it's time for us to go."
As Takato got up to leave, Rika stopped him. "Wait, there's something I want to give you before you go."
Rika promptly grabbed Takato and pulled him into a passionate kiss. The Red Tamer turned beet red from embarrassment. "Rika, I..."
Rika smiled. "Think of that as a good luck kiss. Let's go."
Takato's group gathered and began their drive westward with the other Faction fighters. The Tamers reached the city to find it consumed in paroxysms of violence. The AoA could not maintain control over the vengeful rioters. They continued to lay waste everywhere they went in the city, but now, help had come. The Faction was going to make the revolt so bad for the AoA that their base of power would crumble instantly.
Unlike in the other battles, the AoA did not have any defences to stop the Faction's advance. They walked in through the proverbial front door without so much as a single soldier or Digimon attacking them. The AoA was too preoccupied with the revolt instead. The AoA's troops had been dispatched to quell individual mobs scattered around the city. Instead of attacking a large enemy force, the Tamers were to go around and disrupt the AoA's attempts to put down the revolt.
Guilmon, Renamon, and Terriermon ascended to their Ultimate forms while Jeri's Palmon Digivolved to Togemon. The Tamers came upon a mob being accosted by soldiers. The human members chased the group away by firing their guns into the crowd while the Digimon did the same with their special powers. Takato immediately called for an attack on the police. The Tamers ducked into a nearby building while the Digimon charged directly into the fray.
Esmeralda peeked out of a second story window and dropped one of the soldiers with her gun. She and the Tamers managed to drop about five more soldiers before they realized the direction they were being attacked from. The soldiers turned their attention away from the rioters to fire back on the Tamers. At that moment, the Tamers' Digimon reached the AoA line and began to decimate their ranks.
Taomon pulled out her paintbrush and whacked the legs from under a pair of soldiers. She smeared paint onto the faces of a Devimon and the ape-like Etemon. The black paint glowed with positive energy which burned the two Digimon painfully. Rapidmon kicked the serpentine Seadramon in the side of the head then fired a missile into a group of the soldiers. The men went flying into the air and landed into piles scattered everywhere.
War Growlmon didn't even need to exert much energy to fell the soldiers. His mere footsteps caused the ground to shake, causing some of the enemy soldiers fall onto their backs. A Knightmon ran in to attack with his sword only to be swatted away by War Growlmon's backhand. At this point, the AoA soldiers and Digimon knew they were out of their league and began to flee. With no one to stop them, the rioters chased them down and proceeded to beat those they had caught into the ground.
The Tamers moved to the next confrontation between the people and the agents of the AoA. Amar started this battle by launching a flying kick into the back of a Kabuterimon's head. Once he landed, he flung a pair of fiery blasts which forced the AoA to scatter. Togemon's fists were like blurs as she pummelled a Wizardmon into oblivion. Once again, the crowd took advantage of the situation to mob the AoA and beat them down.
When all seemed to be going well, something lashed War Growlmon in the side of the head by surprise! Rapidmon only managed to catch a brief glimpse of the object before it nailed him as well. It looked like a barbed whip of some kind. Taomon barely raised her barrier in time before the whip struck it and knocked her down. However, Taomon had seen what the weapon was; a thorny vine from some kind of plant extended to abnormal lengths.
Amar and Togemon searched for the attacker and found a fairy Digimon, Rosemon, floating in the air above. She was a beautiful, curvaceous woman in a skin tight red suit who wore long black boots that reached her thighs. This comely blonde wore a green cape made from leaves that was tied to a pink jewel on her chest. On her head was a mitre that resembled the flowering part of a rose. Vines coiled around her arms with one held like a rapier and the other like a whip.

Out of spite, Amar flung fireballs at her while Togemon sent a Needle Spray at her. The agile Rosemon dodged all the attacks with ease. In retaliation, she darted in and cut Togemon down with a slash of her Roses Rapier. Amar ran to Togemon's aid with his Fist of Asura attack, but Rosemon evaded and wrapped her Thorn Whip around his feet. The rose fairy dragged Amar through the air in a half-circle before slamming him down into ground and cracking the pavement.
"War Growlmon, say something!" pleaded Takato to his fallen partner.
As Rosemon prepared to apply the finishing touches to her foes, a swarm of phantoms grabbed her pinned her limbs down. "Hey, what are you doing? Let me go!" she cried.
Takato searched for the phantoms' controller and found a second female Digimon in the sky. Though this second Digimon was beautiful as well, her beauty was of a darker nature. This Digimon was a gothic woman dressed in long black robes that revealed plenty of cleavage. A golden crown sat on top of her head full of long, lustrous raven-black hair. She used her right hand to direct the phantoms, which had a golden claw on it. Takato was thankful for her aid.

Rosemon became engulfed in an aura of negative energy as the Phantom Pain drained her energy away. They kept her pinned down for a second Digimon to nail her with a powerful azure beam. Once the beam tore a hole through her body, the phantoms released Rosemon and she tumbled to the ground. The AoA fairy crumbled into data as Takato turned to face the Digimon that finished her off. The Digimon turned out to be an Ebemon standing on the street a few metres away.
Ebemon was a mechanical Digimon constructed with state-of-the-art Digital World technology. His alien form was made of white Chrome Digizoid and had smooth organic curves. His head was an elongated, black metal oval. Takato could make out several wires that ran from his brain to the back of his body. He had a mass of cables for legs and four such cables for arms. His right cables were linked to a gun with a long, thin barrel while one of his left ones was linked to an alien ray gun. Ebemon was truly a Digimon from out of this world.

True GAIA's and Ryo's team came running to check up on the Tamers. Suzie ran up to check on Rapidmon. "You're not hurt, are you Rapidmon?" asked Suzie.
"I'm fine, Suzie. I have a metal body. You can't hurt me that easily!" replied Rapidmon.
"You guys are a real life saver. That Rosemon had us on the ropes," admitted Esmeralda.
"Okay guys, let's finish this!" said True GAIA.
"Yeah!" cheered all of the Tamers.
With surging morale, the Tamers split up and swept the city disrupting AoA efforts to restore order. That day, the city of Amaterasu burned with the raging fires of revolution. With the capture of the city, the Faction, its allies, and the revolting people let out a hearty cheer of victory. They had crushed the AoA, albeit with a high toll in lives lost. Though they had crushed the enemy's heart, they did not crush its brain. Magami and his loyal followers went unaccounted for, hidden somewhere in the Server and continuing to plot in secrecy...
