Koudoutai

Chapter 16's here, and the siege continues, as the Zodiac killed several DDS students while scores are injured. And this time Class C

attempts to fight back. And Class Q and A will provide assistance.

Meanwhile, Mimi and Wallace came to Principal Dan's aid. Will their Digimon partners be strong enough to repulse Sasoriza?

Fight Back!

Kotaro Nanami managed to camouflage himself from the passing Zodiac members. He then took the opportunity to radio their partner

detective agencies and local authorities for assistance, but for some reasons, his radio only received static waves. Unaware to everyone,

the Digimon Emperor (Garou Giovanni) used a radio wave transmitter to jam the electronic and radio equipments within DDS. He was

laughing heartily seeing that the 6 Chosens were running for their lives.

At the ground level, behind the information desk, Hongou was shielding the three class sections from the bullets of To-Rasu's card reader

(the sub-machine gun) as To-Rasu opened fire. Iori then told everyone that he'll stay while he keeps the armored attacker busy. Kyuu

was hesitant about this, but Takeru assured to them that Iori can handle any situation. Iori then told Armadimon to do his cue. Armadimon

nodded and told the rest to start running.

---Start Digimon Evolve Sequence---

Armadimon changes…to Ankylomon!

---End Digimon Evolve Sequence---

Ankylomon emerges from the information desk, and managed to withstand the bullets. To-Rasu then inserted a card into his card reader,

and a voice confirmed what card was slotted in. "SHOOT VENTO". In an instant, two huge cannons appeared on both his shoulders,

and fired away, knocking Ankylomon off his feet. Iori, watching from a corner, told his partner to get up. Ankylomon got up and tried to

get near To-Rasu, ignoring the pain he's feeling, coming from the shoulder cannons that his opponent is using.

Hongou told the three class sections to split up, but instructed them to find the nearest exit and get out so that they can get help.

Class A went to the east section, Class Q to the western part, and C went to different directions, taking their Digimon partners with them.

Daisuke and V-Mon stumbled onto Mizugameza, who slashed ten more DDS students with his Sword Vent, while his battle robot

mutilated 20 more students. Mizugameza proudly admired his work, causing Daisuke and V-Mon to seethe in anger at Mizugameza's

brutality.

---Start Digimon Evolve Sequence---

V-Mon changes…to XV-Mon!

---End Digimon Evolve Sequence---

XV-Mon angrily charged towards Mizugameza, but Venosnaker wrapped itself around XV-Mon, and began to squeeze its robotic body

around XV-Mon, causing the Digimon to suffocate. Daisuke on the other hand, was evading Mizugameza's sword, trying not to get hit.

But Mizugameza inserted a card into his card reader. "SPIT VENTO". Daisuke's eyes widen at what he saw. Mizugameza's right hand

was covered with what appeared to be a head of a giant cobra. Mizugameza then fired his Spit Vent, which was actually a concentrated

acid. Daisuke managed to avoid it, but a 10-year old girl was unfortunate, as she stumbled into the fight, and was dissolved by the acid in

a matter of 20 seconds, leaving nothing but melted flesh and clothing. Daisuke was infuriated, but had to collect his thoughts and find a

way of disarming his opponent.

Kyuu and Class Q were almost at the exit, but Kyuu told them to go ahead, as he felt that Principal Dan was in danger. Kyuu then went

back inside, while the rest of Class Q were forced to leave Kyuu behind, remembering what they were supposed to do.

Kyuu was already at the 3rd floor, when he heard a commotion at the communications room checking it out, he saw Ohitsujiza wrecking

all the equipments inside. Ohitsujiza then saw Kyuu. "Hi! Look's like were in for round two. And this time, no one's going to bail you

out!". Kyuu picked up a steel pipe and was ready to pounce his opponent, but the Zodiac's resident programmer inserted a card into his

card reader. "STRIKE VENTO". And soon a "sword" fight commenced, but Ohitsujiza managed to disarm Kyuu, and was about to

pounce on Kyuu when Stingmon intervened. Ken then told Stingmon to take both himself and Kyuu out of DDS. Stingmon then flew

towards the window, only to be intercepted by a horde of Battermons.

---Start Digimon Digest Sequence---

Battermon: dark-type Digimon that resembles a large bat. Battermons travels in a group. They kill their prey, Digimon and humans alike,

with their strong fangs and claws. They also used their sonic waves to induce dizziness on their opponents. It's weapon, the Sonic Break.

---End Digimon Digest Sequence---

Stingmon had to drop Kyuu and Ken in order to deal the Battermons. "Kyuu, Ken, run for it! I'll hold them off!" he shouted. Kyuu and

Ken were about to head for the stairs, but Ohitsujiza blocked their path. "No going. Just stay.". Ohitsujiza then smashed a wall with his

Strike Vent, narrowly missing Kyuu and Ken. Kyuu and Ken then tackled their opponent by tripping him. Ohitsujiza was impressed by

their teamwork. "Not bad. Let's see if they can outsmart this." He thought as he slip a card onto his card reader and Metal-Ohitsu was

summoned. Kyuu and Ken run towards the stairs, with Ohitsujiza and Metal Ohitsu in hot pursuit.

Class A on the other hand, were forced to deal with Shishiza as he was about to kill a six-year old boy, whose mother was killed by

Shishiza's Strike Vent. Everyone then mounted on Shishiza, dragging him to the ground, to prevent him from drawing a card.

At the rooftop of a building, a few blocks away from DDS, the Digimon Emperor was laughing his heart out. It turned out that he was the

one who summoned the Battermons form the Digimon world and ordered them to attack DDS. Tenbinza and Uoza were silent

throughout the incident, feeling helpless in preventing the Zodiac from destroying DDS, seeing that scores of lives were lost Uoza secretly

and silently came to regret joining the organization but had no choice but to ignore his personal feelings..

Inside the conference room, Morihiko Dan used his gun to keep Sasoriza away from Ms. Katagiri, who was unconscious, bleeding, and

dying, due to the scorpion's poison, brought about by Sasoriza's Sting Vent (Principal Dan wasn't aware that Sasoriza was actually his

younger brother, Itsuro). It was then that Terriermon, who evolved to Rapidmon, barged into the locked door, and kept Sasoriza away.

Wallace, Mimi, and Palmon entered, seeing Katagiri slumped on the floor. Sasoriza was angered by their interference. "This is between

me and Morihiko Dan. Leave now, or you'll die just like those frog Digimons.". Mimi looked shocked to the core, realizing, and unable

to accept, that her friends were dead. That would explain why she hasn't seen them in the Digimon world in the past few days. "Wallace,

Rapidmon. Take Principal Dan and Ms. Katagiri out of here. Leave this guy to me." Mimi ordered. Reluctantly Wallace agreed, and the

three, carrying Katagiri and Principal Dan, left the room, leaving Mimi and Palmon against Sasoriza and Scorponok. "So, you wish to join

those toadlings, eh?" Sasoriza sneered. Mimi was now pissed off. "Palmon! Let's finish this armored asshole!" Palmon agreed.

---Start Digimon Evolve Sequence---

Palmon changes…to Togemon!

---End Digimon Evolve Sequence---

Togemon braced herself as Scorponok is readying its pincers and tail, as the two titans are about to clash. Mimi grabbed a broken

flagpole that she could use as a pair of baton. Sasoriza, on the other hand, was ready to use his Sting Vent, eager to get even at Mimi for

the humiliation she caused a few weeks ago.

The fighting continues, as the Zodiac did a good job of isolating the students within DDS. Togemon will show her wares as she faces of

Sasoriza's battle robot, while Sasoriza himself will satisfy his bloodlust by taking on Mimi.

Kyuu and Ken are on the run as Ohitsujiza and his battle robot are hot on their trail.

Daisuke will try to find a way of stopping Mizugameza, while XV-Mon struggles to outlive Mizugameza's robot.

Will Class A succeeded in taking down Shishiza? And where's Class Q? Did they made it out to the outside world?

To-Rasu still kept Ankylomon at bay. How will he and Iori manage to outsmart their opponent?

Chapter 17 is on the way. And expect more violence and bloodshed piling in.
