October 17th, 2027
The Dome City:Acheron
"You would think people would be nicer if you were rich." the girl thought to herself as she hid from her pursuers. She was crouched with her bow, The Gingersnap, pointed at the only entrance to her little hiding spot. Lunamon was glaring at the entry, like it might spit a monster out. She could hear the footsteps getting closer as they crushed the digital leaves. She heard something peculiar, something that sounded a lot like the unsheathing of a blade. Assuming it was one of her pursuers, she began to think back to when all of this began.
Flashback: October 15th, 2027
"Ashley Sela, your bow is ready for pickup," she heard from behind the counter. She looked up from her news feed and saw her bow in all its...glued together pieces. She knew this Datamon couldn't fix it completely, but it would work until she found an actual weaponsmith. Datamon handed her a small slip of paper along with her bow. "Since this is your first time using my services, you can take this raffle ticket. It's a new promotion. Someone will have the chance to win at least 50,000 Digix. Maybe you'll win," the little machine digimon explained to the girl. Ashley looked the Datamon in the eye and filled out the ticket, writing in her contact info and such , stuffing it into the bowl and never taking her eyes off the weird little robot. She placed the bow onto her back next to her quiver. "Come on, Lunamon let's get out of here.
Back to the present
I really hope this is not the end, I just wanted to see "him" again she thought to herself as the anticipation and adrenaline started to give way to fear. The sound of swift metals clashing caught her ear. The noise surprised her, making her shriek at the sudden sounds. Finally after minutes of arguing with herself, Ashley mustered up the courage and decided to to hell with it (literally).
She poked her head out in curiosity and hoping it would not be the end of her, she saw something that surprised her. There where she supposed her would-be assailants had stood before 2 young men stood, strangely they both had white hair, katanas and piercing red eyes. They seemed to be conversing…...sort of, one looked to be threatening the other,when one of them started screaming. "Sure, I saved her doesn't mean I won't still try and exploit her for her money. If you plan on getting in my way, i'll just take you out too!" The young man slashed his sword at the other, trying to prompt him to attack first.
Ashley was staring at the scene and out of the corner of her eye, and she saw what looked to be a little dragon colored like blue camouflage and black fatigues. The other boy seemed to say something, but she could not hear it as he was too quiet. She decided to something stupid, get closer. She moved forward bow still drawn in case she was attacked by the loud boy. She looked at the camo dragon, he looked a bit worried. While looking at the little thing, a claw grabbed his mouth from behind and startled him while keeping him quiet. She shrieked a bit at the sight of what looked to be Digi-Assassination.
The 2 fighters heard her, turned and stared at the girl and her digimon, both of them seemed ready to fight and scared at the same time. The loud one's face started to soften as he saw the terrified girl, his face lowered along with his sword. He sighed, sheathed his sword and set his sword upon the ground and bowed his head before the girl. "Miss, I want you to worry no longer for your life. I was misguided and greedy, I should've understood my hunger for riches was an unnatural and evil one. I shall repent my misdeed by committing Seppuku. Hopefully some of my honor shall be restored in my death along with your forgiveness." The young man hung his head even lower in shame. He unsheathed his blade and raised his head to look at the girl that he had wronged and she appeared to be crying.
"Why does anyone else need to die today, can't we all just get along" Ashley sobbed loudly in between her tears. With that said the boy stopped his attempted suicide. He put down the sword and began to shake his head at the befuddling girl."If you will not allow me to die for my forgiveness, then how will I staunch my shame. How can I wash away the dishonor i've brought upon my family. I...i was taught better than this." He stared at the girl but he didn't seem to see tears streamed down his face and hit the digital pavement only to ripple the coding of the game a bit. He seemed to looking through her, the other boy walked behind him and put his hand on his shoulder. The white-haired young men stared into each other's eyes and seemed to understand one another. The young man that was about to kill himself stood up and yelled "You're right I should repent a different way, and what better way than to become her bodyguards. Good thinking, Kagi, dodged a sword there am I right." The other boy finally known as Kagi just nodded his head.
She looked at the 2 boys quizzically "Bodyguards? Did i miss something?" The more talkative of the 2 Samurai boys answered her "Kagi thinks I should repent for thinking of taking your life by protecting it instead."He slung his arm around Kagi's neck and introduced himself "My name is Kuro and if you haven't figured it out the fine guy here is Kagi. He doesn't speak as far as i can tell, but hey, we both would like to extend our services to you."
The boy who she now knew as Kagi, was wearing the basic chest gear along with a Black Hakama. His slacks were just as dark as his Hakama and in one of his belt loops was the sheath to his katana. The guard was a red rectangle with a golden clothed collar on the handle side, and a golden blade collar. His sheath was as dark as the night with a golden ring about 4 inches from the bottom. The handle had black cloth braided around it with blood red pegs in the shape of diamonds. His feet were in strange looking sandals that made him look like he had 2 toes. His face was dark and his scar was deep, showing that even back in the real world it was a hard place to live.
The other one who was named Kuro was wearing all white. He only wore a White Hakama, that had a word in kanji on his back. He wore black shorts and had his sword sheath across his back. The sheath was pure white, with what looked to be a miniscule black dot on it. The guard was a black diamond with a white clothed collar on the handle side with a clear blade collar on the other. The handle was braided with white cloth into the shape of circles, and black yang pegs in each circle. He wore what looked to be black and white running shoes. His face was somewhat pale, especially in comparison to the black samurai next to him. His red eyes were piercing and sincere, while his body did not bulge with muscles she could tell he was built.
Ashley wiped her nose and nodded at them and asked them"Where are your digimon partners?" Kagi whistled and the Digi-Assassin she saw earlier appeared with the other dragon in his hands.
"Boss, i've captured the enemy digimon what shall I do with him." The black dragon bowed and held up the tied up blue dragon to his master like it was some type of sacrifice.
Kuro grabbed him and untied him, the dragon started crying and hugged him. "Kagi, what the hell man?"
Kagi smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. The black dragon answered for him "Master ordered me to incapacitate the idiot's digimon, while he dealt with you" Kagi shook his head fervorously as he tried to deny.
"Kagi you tricky bastard you" he put him in a headlock and gave him a noogie. As his master was engaged in what looked to be harmless playfighting.
The black dragon turned around to talk to Ashley and spoke. "Hello miss, I am BlackAgumon and that other one is Commandramon, it seems we will be traveling with you miss."
"I'm so glad with all these people to protect me maybe i'll be able to see Lex one day." she said looking off into the distance. Kagi's body turned rigid and he threw Kuro off of himself. He turned Ashley around and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"D-D-did you say Lex?" His voice was raspy as he hadn't talked in a long time. His eyes seemed to stare into her soul, searching for anything that didn't seem to match with what he remembered and what she was about to tell him. As she told him of the heroic and dark-skinned hero, his grimace grew bigger and bigger. When she finished, he seemed to have a devilish smile on his face, he put his hand to his face and started to cackle as evilly as possible.
Kagi's red eyes seemed to be glowing "Well Lex, it seems our destiny's seem to be intertwined."
Kirito's POV
Zone 1 Dust Dungeon
"Keep Slashing, Kirito you have to keep yourself and Takato alive" Kirito and Takato were training in the 1st dungeon...seeing as it was the only one and it was their only choice. Especially since they had finished all other sidequests and had even done some of them twice. Takato had been showing improvement but not enough that Kirito could leave him alone just yet. After Gigimon evolved into Guilmon he became exponentially stronger, although it did seem like his intelligence didn't even move. Guilmon did have his moments of stupid genius from time to time.
Kirito slashed his sword through a Palmon and Takato unleashed a flurry of slashes into the last one. Takato sighed in relief and looked up at what he thought would be another dead end.
"Well Kirito, looks like it's-" As he stopped talking in amazement at what they had found.
"The boss door, we found it. Finally!" Kirito exclaimed in a way very unlike himself, but there was no reason for him to hold back his happiness"We did it Takato, now let's teleport back to town and spread the news." Takato pulled out a blue teleport crystal touched Kirito's shoulder and they disappeared in a flash of blue light.
DWO: Info Breakdown: Samurai Class:
Honorable, Strong, Loyal, and Quick. The Samurai Class would be considered a leadership role as it does not have a surplus of heavy armor or does not mean the Feudal warriors cannot hold their own against stronger enemies. In fact they have a skill called "Falling Cherry Blossoms" that when fighting a monster one on one raises the strength to the max so it will deal a one-hit kill to minor enemies. The Samurai shall wait quietly at the table for you to attack him and he will strike at the most opportune moment, and it will end in your demise.
D-Darkness: sorry for the late update. Anyway I will still try to update on a Bi or Tri-weekly basis
Reviews and Fan art would be appreciated
1) The act of Seppuku is when a Samurai feels he has dishonered himself or someone else so much that he must kill himself by plunging his sword through his own body.
2)The Kanji is the word Kamikazi meaning divine wind
Next chapter will be the Night before the Boss fight, so basically pandering and character development
