Koudoutai
Where here now at chapter 17, and things are getting more nasty, as more and more lives are lost, and the invaders just keep thrashing
out more than they can show.
But read on as the tide is about to change, and maybe DDS will get the breather that they needed.

Help On The Way
Rapidmon, Wallace, Principal Dan, and the unconscious Shuno Katagiri made it safely out the DDS main building when Rapidmon run
towards the ground floor in top speed without dropping his friends, though he had to ignore seeing XV-Mon being coiled around by what
he saw was a huge cobra. He then heard gunshots coming from the entrance. There he, Wallace and Principal Dan saw Iori standing at a
corner, watching Ankylomon trying to get near a green-armored intruder shooting with a pair of shoulder cannon.
Rapidmon approached Iori and asked him what happened, and Iori in turn, told Rapidmon, Wallace and principal Dan that the shooter is
blocking the entrance/exit of the building. Wallace then told Iori that a horde of Battermons where inside the building, aggravating the
situation by aiding the Zodiac. Principal Dan then wondered how the Zodiac managed to enter DDS without being detected. Then a voice
was heard, answering their queries. "I saw one of them came out, through my laptop when I was coming out of the toilet.". Turning
around, it was Kazuma, carrying his laptop. Wallace was confused. "That cannot be! Neither one of them can't gain access to the
Digimon world! That's impossible!". "We'll figure it out later. Right now this young lady needs medical attention." Rapidmon interjected,
pointing to the prone body of Ms. Katagiri. At this point, Ankylomon came to the corner where he found Iori and the others. "Iori, see
that hole on that wall? Go there and leave. I'll hold the attacker off as long as I can. That way, you can have time to escape.". Iori
reluctantly nodded, and motions the others to follow him.
At another area inside the school building, Class A did a good job of holding down the lion-armored Zodiac member. But they didn't
notice that he managed to draw out a card and secretly slipped it inside his card reader. ""ADVENTO". As Class A heard the voice,
Animus appeared from the yellow square and caused Class A to scamper away. Now free, Shishiza was about to give chase, but saw a
group of new DDS students stumbling into them. Smirking, he ordered Animus to kill them, and the battle robot obliged, killing the
students on the spot, blood and organs were splattered and scattered all over the place. Class A were angered, but had to keep their
cool, as they knew they were no match against their armored attackers. They'll have to bide their time and come up with a plan of
outsmarting and outmaneuvering their opponents.
At the 4th floor, Kyuu and Ken managed to hide inside crime laboratory, but where surprised that Ohitsujiza also entered the room. He
then had Metal-Ohitsu to smash the place just to flush the two teens out. The two tens slowly crawled behind a table so that they won't
be seen.
At the conference room, Togemon and Scorponok were locked in an armbar and headlock, while Mimi surprising kept Sasoriza at bay,
dodging his Sting Vent, at the same time tripping him just to keep him off-guard. Sasoriza realized that he underestimated his opponent,
and dropped his whip and inserted another card. "STRIKE VENTO". Sasoriza's forearms were, in an instant, were covered with
gauntlets that were shaped like a scorpion's pincers. He then had Mimi running around the room as she tried to avoid getting crushed by
the pincers.
Meanwhile, the rest of Class C were helping the injured students get inside the school clinic, while Angemon, Angewomon, and
Aquilamon were keeping the Battermons away from the clinic, so that the school nurse could attend to the injured students. "Heaven's
Knuckle!" "Heaven's Arrow!". Their weapons managed to keep the Battermons away, but they were unaware that the Battermons were
just distracting Class C while the Zodiac were busy thrashing the school.
As Rapidmon secretly had his friends lead out of the building, Ankylomon was keeping To-Rasu at bay. As soon as they got outside, they
saw the three Class Q students coming out of the air vent. They joined Rapidmon in carrying Principal Dan, and Ms. Katagiri into his
arms, while Kazuma, Iori, and Wallace followed, and headed towards the gate, only to see the guard getting killed by more Battermons.
Then more came, surrounding Rapidmon and the rest. Iori was incensed, so incensed that a theory came out of his head. "THE
DIGIMON EMPEROR! IT WAS HIM! HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!." The others looked at Iori in a confused state. "It can't
be Ken. He's no longer possessed…" Wallace said, but Iori cut him off. "No. It was someone else. Ken's old rival, Garou Giovanni.
He's the new Digimon Emperor! I bet he's the one who led the Zodiac here secretly, hence the sudden invasion.". Then one of the
Battermons flew towards the group, and was about to kill Kazuma when a bolt of electricity strucked the Battermon down. It was
Kabuterimon! Then the other heroic Digimons arrived. War-Greymon, Were-Garurumon, Ikkakumon, and Garudamon, all came, and
took care of the Battermons. Garudamon then carried Principal Dan and Ms. Katagiri and went to the nearest hospital, while the rest
accompanied Rapidmon in aiding Angemon and the others in repelling the rest of the Battermons. Soon the school clinic was saved.
Anemon then told the others that the main building is under siege, and told them that the others are inside. War-Greymon and the others
then proceeded to the main building.
At the rooftop, The Digimon Emperor saw what happened and radioed To-Rasu about the impending arrival of the first batch Digimons.
To-Rasu then decided to demolish DDS once and for all. He radioed the rest of the Zodiac and told them to teleport themselves out of
the building, as he will attempt to demolish the building. The others nodded (Sasoriza was unwilling to leave, but reluctantly agreed when
To-Rasu said that he'll demolish the building using his Final Vent, and believing that the resulting demolition would kill his brother
Morihiko, as he believed that he was still inside the building) and they descended into the yellow square, leaving their opponents
dumbfounded. The good guys breath a sigh of relief, and began to gather the injured students, and headed towards the ground floor.
To-Rasu was left behind, and when Ankylomon saw him left the building, he thought To-Rasu retreated, when he heard a voice spoke.
"FINAL VENTO". Peeking outside, Ankylomon was surprised to see a huge metallic robot resembling a Minotaur standing in front of
To-Rasu, armed with an arsenal of weapons, including bullets, rockets, missiles, RPG, and other explosive weapons. Hongou and
Nanami, who happened to make their way out of the building through the fire exit, also saw what the commotion, and were shocked in
guessing what To-Rasu was planning to do. But before Ankylomon and the two DDS teachers could react, To-Rasu opened fire, and his
Final Vent was activated, firing his arsenal of weapons at the DDS main building. Inside the building, Kyuu, the injured students, the rest
of Class A and C (and their Digimon partners), heard a roaring sound. Before they knew it the building rumbled, and the remaining
students ducked as explosions entered the building, and concrete debris descended. In a matter of 73 seconds, DDS was in rubbles. At
this point, the first batch Digimons, various law enforcement agencies, DDS' partner detective agencies, the SWAT team, Wallace and
Rapidmon, the rest of Class C, and their partner Digimons all arrived to see what they just witnessed. As the smoke cleared, everyone
were shocked, seeing was left of DDS. Takeru, Hikari and Megumi fell to their knees, crying over the fates of their fellow DDS students
who were still inside the fallen school building. The authorities were angered at what To-Rasu did and aimed their guns at him. "Freeze!
Drop your weapon, and put your hands above your head!". But the defiant To-Rasu laughed diabolically and said, "Behold! See what's
left of your precious Dan Detective School! All that Morihiko Dan has worked so hard is now in ruins! And now you know the true
power of the Zodiac!". With that he fired his card reader at the people around him, killing several officers. The rest of the authorities
opened fire, but their bullets didn't stop the armored Zodiac member. Angemon and Angewomon charged towards To-Rasu, but were
halted when another explosion was heard. With everyone distracted, To-Rasu descended to the yellow square and disappeared.
Everyone then realized that the attackers were gone. They then went to the source of the second explosion. They realized that the old
school building was on fire. They then put the fir out, but the damage was extensive, as half of the school was wrecked.
At the rooftop, the Digimon Emperor was jumping up and down in joy, seeing that Ken and the rest of the DDS students were trapped
inside, believing that no one could survive the wreckage. Tenbinza and Uoza were shocked and infuriated, but had to keep their emotions
in check. The three then descended into the yellow circle and disappeared.
Ambulances from nearby districts and prefectures arrived to assist the injured student who survived the attack, while the military and
construction workers, and the Digimons worked double time to remove the debris and wreckage in hopes that the students inside the
demolished are still alive.
The parents of the DDS students, including Kyuu's mother, arrived at the scene after watching the news. Principal Dan arrived as well,
and was devastated upon hearing the news, and saw what ws left of DDS. Even Hongou and Nanami were angered by what To-Rasu
did. But all they could do now is wait. Wait for a sign that the students trapped inside are still alive.

What can I say? The Zodiac did the impossible, something Pluto failed to do: they demolished DDS! But don't rant on me for destroying
DDS. I did it out of literary reasons in writing a fic. And also to show you that every good guys have their darkest moments, only to rise
up and start anew.
In the comic books, Metropolis was at their darkest and saddest moments when Superman died defending Metropolis from
Doomsday. A few months later, Superman came back to life, and along came Superboy and Steel.
Bruce Wayne too had his darkest moments when he was paralyzed by Bane (in Knightfall). Instead of moping, he appointed Azrael
to act as the Batman in his place (in Knightquest: The Crusade), and went to England to search for Shondra Kilsolving
(Knightquest: The Search). He eventually regained his mobility (Knight'sEnd) and resumed his career as Batman (Batman #515).
Gotham City had its sad moments during the Cataclysm and No Man's Land story arc, but managed to move on.
Bruce Wayne was again in his darkest moments when Vesper Fairchild was killed and got the blame, only to compose himself and nailed
the real killer, and eventually cleared his name (In Bruce Wayne: Murderer and Bruce Wayne: Fugitive story arc).
And that, my fellow Detective School Q fans, is what I'm going to do. To show you that even DDS can survive any forms of crisis, and
start all over again.
Check out chapter 18 to see how everyone worked together in helping DDS out in their darkest hour.
