(Ok... Now to find out if the President survived...and who the sniper was... I
still don't own Digimon.)
Koji lay on the floor, out of breath, but unharmed. Beneath him was the startled President Oikawa, who was shaken up after almost being assassinated...
'SHIT!' The sniper snarled to himself as he ran down the hallway. He lifted his wrist communicator to his mouth and spoke into it. "This is Banten. The assassination was a failure! Those goddamn Digital Knights got in the way! Storm the place, now!" Suddenly, all hell broke loose...
In the conference room, different suited people suddenly drew out weapons... Apparently, the Virus Hackers had laid a trap...
The outside teams were suddenly bombarded with shots, as squadrons of soldiers, and enemy DIGIMON marched upon them...
"SHIT! They must have had a cloaking device!" Taichi said, as he activated WAR GREYMON. The dragon-man DIGIMON lifted its arms into the air, and produced a large ball of nuclear energy. Tai maneuvered the DIGIMON forward, and shot out the Battle Cry... "KNIGHTS RIDE!"
All 4 squads began to strike...
WAR GREYMON jetted forward, raising the nuclear ball, and launching it onto into 8 TANKMON that were coming at him. They exploded on contact as soon as the nuclear ball engulfed them.
METAL GARURUMON shielded itself as a rain of laser beams were fired upon it, by a squadron of MEKANORIMON.
Suddenly, an intense energy cannon pierced through the three mechs, eradicating them form the field... ANGEMON landed upon the ground, and Takeru called out from the intercom. "YAMATO! Are you alright?'
Yamato waved from within METAL GARURUMON. "Thanks Ni-chan! How are things at your end?" METAL GARURUMON shot out a blast of ice that froze an approaching group of BLACK GARGOMON in their tracks before charging into them and shattering them.
ANGEMON was knocked back by wall of fire balls from 4 METAL TYRANNOMON. It countered with a swarm of feather bombs fired from its wings, and confused the enemy pilots. "Not so good! We've been over taken by some BLACK MEGALO GROWMON pilots. I have to get back to them quickly!"
Daisuke's FLAMEDRAMON fired a round of flame rockets at an incoming BLACK MEGALO GROWMON.
A KUWAGAMON from Daisuke's squad came at the black mech, its metallic pincers snapping at the robot's armor. It was joined by another that latched onto the other side of the BLACK MEGALO GROWMON. Both, red beetle DIGIMON pinched, sniped and tore at the mech's armor, trying to open it up. Suddenly, a STINGMON came from out of the sky and the green bug man DIGIMON landed down, right inform of the black mecha dragon, its energy spike flickering from its right claw. The pilot, an indigo haired boy known as Ken Ichijouji sneered as he pushed his DIGIMON forward. STINGMON flew at BLACK MEGALO GROWMON, and slashed its energy needle at the metal plates upon the chest, exposing the pilot, and the core...
FLAMEDRAMON's claws glowed with intense heat. It jetted forward, with its rockets burning like the fires of hell. Daisuke punched forward, and FLAMEDRAMON's right claws struck forward, exploding with intense fire, and punched the core of the opposing DIGIMON, while both KUWAGAMON shifted back a few yards... There was a huge explosion, and pieces of the black machine littered the ground, while the FLAMEDRAMON stood, merely smoking... Daisuke had a proud, smug look on his face, but it was short live as he was bombarded with heavy fire from a MAMMOTHMON...
Taktao's DUKEMON shot out an intense beam from its shield, aiming it at 3 approaching BLACK RAPIDMON, who were bombarding him with heavy gun fire, almost piercing its armor. Two were blowing into various machine parts and they scattered the ground, but 4 more came from behind, and shot out golden triangle blasts, knocking DUKEMON onto its back, where it was shot at over and over...
A huge MEGA GARGOMON suddenly landed on the ground, causing the BLACK RAPIDMON pilots to hold their fire, and face their new threat. MEGA GARGOMON shot out to massive missiles at both parties. The missiles hit on contact and destroyed the enemy machines, scattering black scrap metal, and gears all over the field. "Takato, are you ok?" The blue haired pilot, known as Jenrya shouted.
Dukemon slowly rose to its feet. "I'm fine. DUKEMON's heavily armored. It'll take more than few bullets to pierce this tin man." Takato laughed. "Man, these guys are everywhere! They must have been planning this already!" He watched as a few MEGALO GROWMON pilots from his squad were advancing upon some opposing TYRANNOMON pilots who were engulfing them with constant flame blasts.
Inside the complex, AGNIMON and WOLFMON were dueling against an army of CENTAUROMON, who were firing solar cannons at them from all sides. AGNIMON fired a barrage of flame balls at fired CENTAUROMON, engulfing them completely, melting their armor, while WOLFMON fired at them from its wrist cannon. They were shot at and knocked down from another wave of solar blasts.
Takuya spoke to Koji on the intercom. "I think we better use the mode change...." Both of them pushed a button on their control deck.
AGNIMON suddenly began to retract and reassemble parts of it self, until it took the form of a red, masked dragon, with the name VITRAMON.
WOLFMON went through the same transformation, only transforming into a white, mechanical wolf robot, GARMMON.
VITRAMON flew into the air, as solar blasts continued to shoot at it, and spreading its wings, it dropped a cluster of flaming feather bombs at the opposing squadron. Explosions of flame surrounded, and bombarded the four legged machine beasts, allowing GARMMON, wheeling in, blades out, and slashing through them, tearing up metal wires, and gears...
BAM! BAM! Both DIGIMON were struck down, while some of their squadron was blown away. A giant red CHAOSDRAMON burst through the wall firing at everything I its path. It fired out at a group of Squad D GUARDROMON, decimating them in seconds... As it stopped near GARMMON and VITRAMON, it charged up its cannons for a killing blow...
Suddenly, a BOLGMON burst through another wall, looking for a fight and bringing 7 TANKMON with him. Its pilot, Junpei locked on at the Chaosdramon in his sight. "Good thing I was in the next room...FIRE!" He shot out giant electrical pulses form each of his three cannons. They shocked, electrocuted and immobilized the CHAOSDRAMON, allowing BOLGMON and the TANKMON to bombard it with a wave of cannon fire.
VITRAMON and GARMMON flew or wheeled back as a final shot from BOLGMON ripped through the core, and CHAOSDRAMON exploded.
Junpei spoke over the intercom. "Takuya! Koji! We gotta get out of here! There's more CHAOSDRAMON on the way... These Virus Hackers have gotten some High powered DIGIMON on their side. I don't know if we can hold out, they just keep coming!"
At the tops, Major Izumi's MEGA KABUTERIMON was firing high pressured electrical pulses at an air raid of BLIMPMON that were storming the airways. Bombs dropped near and on Squad A soldiers and DIGIMON. He immobilized and shot down 4 that were getting to near the building, before they could do any serious damage.
Taichi's WAR GREYMON shot a nuclear energy bomb at 6 more BLIMPMON storming in. Taichi spoke to Koushiro over the intercom. "Major! There's too many! Our forces are beginning to deteriorate! We need to do something fast!"
"Relax. We've prepared for this sort of setback. WONG! Execute Star Field!"
Suddenly, an invisible force began to produce from within the building. It seemed to pass right through the Digital Knights forces, but when it came to the Virus Hackers, the DIGIMON were immobilized, and ground soldiers were paralyzed, feeling as though every muscle in their body was tightening and constricting.
A huge castle suddenly materialized into the sky. From it, through communicators and intercoms, a voice spoke to the Virus Hackers. "FALL BACK AT ONCE! ASSASINATION HAS FAILED! REGROUP AND RETREAT FOR NOW!"
Soldiers and DIGIMON from the Virus Hackers began to fall back, being picked up into BLIMPMON which flew them into the castle, as the Digital Knights continued to fire at them... The packed BLIMPMON were scooped into the shielded castle, which was firing at the Digital Knights and the force field protecting the company building. Suddenly, a blinding flare was activated and the sky was filled with a bright flash... After 5 seconds, the light dissipated, only for the Digital Knights to see the enemy, completely gone...
The next morning, the Digital Knights were on a massive clean up assignment, clearing away dead bodies, and ravaged machine parts. There had been quite an amount of casualties in both squads. Some of the Digital Knights were assisting any citizens who were caught in the battle, while others were tending to other matters.
Taichi was meeting with Major Izumi, in his office. "Major Izumi. After the battle, we've accounted that we've lost 134 men from each squad. It's rather quite unfortunate. What should we tell their families?"
The Major sighed sadly. "We can only tell them the truth. We cannot disgrace their memories with lies. Sometimes I wonder if these unnecessary battles are worth it for the project... But... what's done is done now. When the project gets off the ground, all of this tragedy and loss will come to an end..."
"Well, I hope it succeeds. I can't bear anymore loss from War. We've both lost our parents because of it... Oikawa took us in, and made us what we are today. Major, I swear by my dead, sister Hikari. I'll make the Digital Knights, and you, proud." Taichi saluted.
Koushiro turned to Taichi, with a sympathetic expression. "Tai...? How long have we known each other? Ever since we were 10 or 12? You don't have to call me Major all the time. Just call me Izzy. I never could stand the formality of 'Major.'" He chuckled.
"Me neither..." Tai laughed in return. He reached into his pocket, and his smile faded as he opened it, revealing the picture of a young, brown haired girl. "Hikari... I swear, to get revenge against those who took you away..."
FLASHBACK
12 year old Taichi ran through a flaming mass of debris and corpses which was once his home town. He had tears in his eyes as he searched for someone... "Hikari! Hikari! Where are you?!" Taichi suddenly stopped at a flaming wreck, which was where his house once stood. Ignoring the clenching feeling in his chest and stomach, he burst through the burning door way, searching around. He carefully stepped over flaming lumber as he searched for his family. All he found were two flaming corpses, who were once his Mother and Father. His sister was nowhere to be found... "No... Mama-san, Papa-san, Onee-chan... ONEE-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!" The former sight of the town echoed with the sorrowful screams of a twelve year old boy...
END FLASHBACK
Taichi clenched the locket in his hand, his fist shaking as tears spilled from his eyes.
Meanwhile, in Earth's orbit, inside of the Shield Castle, there were the battered and beaten Virus Hackers, nursing their wounds, and trying to repair damaged DIGIMON. They were complaining about their loss, and griping about their enemy.
"Damn those Digital Knights. We almost had them, but that goddamn force field had to be there... We've lost who knows how many..."
"We must not give up. Digital Star Network must be terminated at once."
"Odaiba Industries will regret this. They are the cause of all this suffering. How dare the people worship them...?"
"Those miserable Digital Knight will pay dearly for this..."
Listening to the complaints and moans of all the soldiers, a pretty, young, auburn haired girl of 19 years was listening behind a closed door. She pulled the door too, sighing to herself sadly. She walked towards down the hallway over to her room, and was met by an attractive pink haired girl, about the same age. "Konbawa Mimi. The soldiers just came back. It didn't go well. We've lost quite a number of soldiers, and Oikawa is still alive. How long must this crusade go on, before we stop the launch of Digital Star Network?" She was met with a comforting hug.
"Sora... It will all be over soon. I'm sure of it. We have to keep hope for our own future, and for when people see the truth."
Sora hugged Mimi tightly, letting a few tears spill. "Arigatou, Mimi-chan. I know I can always confide in you."
"Ano..."
Sora and Mimi turned their attention to a young brown haired girl, who seemed 4 years younger than them.
"I've done some research on the Digital Knights, and hacked into the files of the Odaiba Industries. I've pinpointed some IDs of the most skilled members, and I thought you might want to look at them." She handed them a small computer notepad. "These are the ones that were involved in this night's battle. I say we should strike these members down first, and the rest of them shall fall."
All three girls were pleasantly surprised at the IDs before them.
"Oh my... The Digital Knights are barely adults... They're children, like us..." Sora gasped. "The oldest members are in their early twenties."
Mimi smiled as she looked them over. "Some of them are quite cute..."
Hikari scanned over the IDs, and then gasped as she laid eyes on one. "Taichi... Ni-san... It can't be..."
(Uh oh... How's Hikari reacting to Tai's position? Looks like we know what happened to Hikari... But now, how did she get there? RR)
Koji lay on the floor, out of breath, but unharmed. Beneath him was the startled President Oikawa, who was shaken up after almost being assassinated...
