Keramon flew through the Digital Realm, occasionally having to use Bug Blaster to break through security programs or destroy data in his way (Quickly absorbing it after), the presence of a security drone from FB following him. The two had been searching for a few hours for a few to access the Machine Army, and finally had success.
The PRT had thought they had cut off all connections the Machine Army had with the outside world, and to most they had, but signals were still needed to control each machine, signals they could force themselves into with the right tools. Like a military satellite!
Keramon laughed as he tore through another security wall, grinning as he finally found the controls for the satellite. Hand reaching out, he took control of it and aimed, uncaring as he threw of dozens of military's. In the distance he saw the floating form of the Simurgh, it was interesting seeing the one creature his partner feared the most, it didn't look that scary. With a slap, the satellite sent a wave of data down to Earth, right onto the Machine Army.
Instantly dozens of advanced security measures activated, in the Digital Realm appearing as monstrous beasts. Each of them distinctly mechanical, he fell onto one of them, giggling as he fired unleashed an attack.
"FOOL OUT!". An unbearable screech was released from the Virus's throat, the beast he was on starting to trash about wildly while he launched himself at another. They were bigger yes, but here? The superior process power was what mattered. One beast's multiple heads tried crushing Keramon, but he avoided it and returned with a Bug Blaster that melted through its chest.
Three of the monsters tried attacking him at once, managing to land a hit that send him flying, but a blast of poisonous smoke from his mouth sent each screeching back, their natural immunity to poison as digital entities not working against the unnatural poison.
Giggling, dozens of Bug Blaster's were unleashed that tore through the monsters. Boring, boring! Where was some excitement?!
Noticing a single beast trying to escape, Keramon grinned and began to follow it slowly, staying far enough back to avoid detection. The area they were in resembled a giant mechanical bodily system, gross but cool! As he entered a smaller 'blood vein', Keramon felt a large source of data ahead, interesting...
Arriving at another area, seeming to resemble a beating heart made of machines, the single remaining beast was waiting, a trap he'd willingly walked into.
Electricity danced along the walls, power, data, processing power was sent into the beast, causing it to change. Its body shifted, multiple heads becoming one, serpent changing into humanoid, massive purple eyes glared out, the size difference between them utterly massive. Keramon probably wasn't even the size of its toenail! A grin spread across his face as the mechanical Titan roared.
"Heheheh! Fun!". Keramon laughed, this was going to be interesting! The Titan threw a punch, its massive size not changing its speed. A Bug Blaster bounced harmlessly across its body.
The Virus quickly flew back, how much processing power and data had the Machine Army put into this thing? Not enough, not enough for him to be truly pushed! To evolve further!
Energy gathered in Keramon's maw, firing as a Bug Blaster and landing right in the Titan's eye, tearing through it and causing an angered scream. Covering its destroyed eye, its remaining eye glowed and unleashed a beam of light onto Keramon, who avoided it.
It didn't matter how large this avatar was, if the Machine Army refused to put all its resources towards fighting the Digimon, it couldn't win.
Giant fists, lasers that if real could've torn a country in half, the Titan simply couldn't land a hit. It'd put to much data into simply looking big, not enough into speed. Keramon released another Bug Blaster, tearing through a large chunk of the Titan's chest, boring, so boring-
"KERAMON! A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DATA IS INCOMING, YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE NOW-". The drone FB had been using to watch the Rookie was hit away by an energy wave, streams of raw data filtering into the space. Keramon's eyes widened, that... That was a lot of data, and all of it was heading for the Titan!
Thump.
He destroyed and absorbed as much of the data as he could, but there was simply to much, to many for him to catch more then few. Eventually however, it all combined into the Titan... Which was growing.
Thump.
Thump.
Grabbing onto FB's drone, Keramon quickly fled the area, even the mechanical appearance fading away to reveal a space-like realm, all the data that had composed the Machine Army focused on a single spot. A loud heartbeat echoing through it, coming from the only bit of the mechanical area that had remained, the giant mechanical heart.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Keramon's eyes widened as the heart began to change, shift, transform. That... That wasn't possible, how could anything have that much data!?
Massive green eyes stared at the Rookie, seeing it as nothing but a bug. The raising of its hand caused a wave of intense wind to hit Keramon, throwing him further back.
{PREPARE FOR ELIMINATION, VIRUS}
The sound that left the Machine Army's Avatar was a loud, rumbling, unnatural thing, a artificial creation of a voice. Keramon felt sweat forming on his head, how the hell could anything have this much data running through it!? It was far, far more then the Rookie could handle.
The glowing spots across The Avatar glowed, unleashing beams of light that fell onto Keramon, he managed to avoid some, but many hit him. Thankfully, even with its immense size, The Avatar was not all powerful...
"GAARRHHH!". But that didn't mean it didn't hurt, the beam of light burning the Virus digital flesh, rage entering his mind. "BUG BLASTER!".
He unleashed the biggest Bug Blaster he had ever created, launching itself through the digital space at immense speeds, but a single raised finger blocked the entire attack with only superficial damage. The Rookie looked about, where was FB's drone!?
{YOUR ALLY HAS BEEN LOCKED OUT, AND WILL SUFFER YOUR SAME FATE ONCE WE ARE FINISHED}
Well at least the abomination of data was polite enough to tell Keramon what was going on, even as a giant fist was launched towards him. He tried his best to fly away, but he was far to slow, the titanic force slamming into him and sending him flying away, his form showing areas of green-black coding.
The Avatar's eyes glowed, ready to finish off the Virus then and there...
Keramon's fingers twitched, cracks spreading across its body, even as a beam of green light was unleashed towards him, utterly consuming it size-
Landing, and reducing the Rookie to dust.
The Machine Army's Avatar performed a final check for any viruses, the interloper desperately trying to break in, but it had the full force of the Machine Army backing it, thousands of programs working together in unison, human tech could not defeat it-
Keramon Digivolve to...
The Avatar stared in shock at the sphere of swirling data, how had it hidden itself!? It quickly tried unleashing another beam of light, but it was to late.
CHRYSALISMON!
The newly evolved Champion shuddered, glee filling him as he stared up at The Avatar, its advanced scanning allowing it to realize the sheer difference between them now.
A giant fist was thrown, dozens of lasers unleashed, but Chrysalismon just stayed in the air, raising its tentacles as the attacks were about to land.
"DATA CRUSHER!".
The beams of light broke apart, the giant fist dissolved into pure data, and Chrysalismon laughed at it all. Understanding dawned, FB had never been kicked out, she'd simply allowed the enemy to think so in order to push him to Digivolution!
"PEEKA-BOO!". The Champion launched himself forward at immense speeds, in the real world such speed would cause a sonic boom, but here he simply landed on the monster's nose, tentacles digging in as he eagerly began to consume its data.
The Avatar flailed about, perhaps it may have had more data then both of them, but it was becoming clear it hadn't prepared for this. Its data was being torn apart, hacked, consumed.
{MERCY! SUBMISSION!}
Chrysalismon froze for a few moments, this fight was directly under his control now, he could fully consumed the AI under him, that much data may be enough to Digivolve, or his partner could use it for greater goals...
Raising a tentacle, he slammed it into the flesh of The Avatar, compressing it, but not absorbing it. It trashed about trying to escape, but the difference in power between them was simply to great.
Holding a green orb of data that contained all the knowledge and data of the Machine Army, Keramon let out a laugh, his partner was pleased.
As he left to deliver the orb to his partner, FB entered and began to take control of all the Machine Army's technology, gaining control of it all.
So we've got the Machine Army under our control now! Keramon wasn't sure if Aleister would want the AI or if he could eat it, so he kept it around and put it into storage. Your guys choice what happens to it now.
Aleister groaned as he fell to the ground, Okita's katana on his chest.
"Master... As much as I support pushing yourself, there is a limit to it. There's no experience gained if your facing a completely overwhelming fight". Okita explained, Iris and Lumine both standing bath, their respective weapons in hand. "All your doing is damaging your body".
"Yes I... I quite believe your right, shit...". Aleister breathed slowly, trying to dull the pain, he really needed to look into making an automatic Senzu Bean farm. The problem was the precise conditions they needed to grow and cost far to much mana to make them casually. "Next time... Just tell me no".
"Beatings are better lessons". Iris spoke with a small grin, Lumine giggling at her side, even Okita had a smile.
"Hate you, hate you alllll...".
Fighting three people at once does not equal automatic better improvement, fighting one is better. Learning how to fight multiple opponents at once is useful, but not when each is stronger or around your level.
Skill up.
- Swordplay 14%
"Master... You need to rest". Lumine lightly glared at Aleister as he kept up work, currently doing some coding on his laptop. "I'm serious! Mental rest is important to!".
"This is relaxing for me, its not like this is difficult". The master saw no issues with his current work, it was easy enough to code.
"Gaah! Your not getting it!". The Pseudo-Rider frowned, how could she convince Aleister to rest? Maybe... "Ooohh, maybe we could go shopping?!".
"Fight between the ABB and PRT at the shops".
"Guh!... Hm, how about a walk along the sidewalk!".
"You mean the trash and filth encrusted sidewalks?".
"It'd still be a nice time... What do you suggest then!?". Lumine threw her arms up, she couldn't think of anything!
Aleister narrowed his eyes, he just wanted to focus on his work. With all the chaos going on in Brockton Bay, he needed to focus in clearing out the bay before he spent time on social activities.
Oof, unlucky roll here! No bond ups here.
Aleister carefully placed the wires into the machine he was working on, nervous sweat on the back of his neck. If even a single thing went wrong, Brockton Bay went bye-bye.
But as he placed the final wire in and covered them, he let out a sigh of relief, the newly created Arc-Reactor glowing on the table. He grinned, Iron Man had alwasys been one of his favorite heroes, the man using technology to keep up with monsters and god, he had a fondness for scientist heroes and villains.
Grabbing the Arc-Reactor, he slowly placed it in a pre-prepared slot in the Mana Generator, stepping back as he felt the visible burst of mana being created now. It wasn't enough to get everything at 100%, but they were closer now, far closer.
Mad Scientist creation.
- Palladium Arc-Reactor.
An Arc-Reactor, it continuously creates an immense amount of clean energy. It has enough energy to power multiple mega-cities.
Aleister glared at the screen before him, annoyance building up within him. Around him his team shared his annoyance.
"Lung is more cunning then expected... He's having his unpowered gang members fight the PRT, the sheer amount of them with some equipped with Tinker bombs is letting them keep the PRT distracted while he and his capes travel together to hit each PRT group. Simple, but brutal in its efficiency". Medea noted, a frown across her features.
"If it wasn't for Panacea, the PRT would've lost ages ago... Its an all or nothing fight, we ether crush Lung at his full power, or we ignore him". Okita's grip tightened on her blade as she saw Lung tear off the arms of Velocity. "As long as he doesn't kill he won't get a Kill Order, and as soon as a cape is in danger of death he lets them escape to be healed by Panacea".
"We could beat him though right? One Rhongo blast and he's dead". Iris looked around, seeing rejected faces.
"If we could teleport him it'd work, but we have no idea how Flash Air and more technological methods of teleportation will affect him, take into consideration if he somehow survives and escalates... I've seen some recordings, he's a monster equal if not greater then Echidna". Meltryllis was annoyed, she personally wanted to just destroy this bastard and then finish the PRT, but her lover would reject mass destruction if it came at the cost of innocent lives.
"Annoying... We'll figure something out, but I want this war ended soon". Aleister glared at the screen, seeing the now transformed Lung let out a roar.
Aleister carefully mended the skin together from where he had inserted the Demi-Servant Photonic Crystal, staring at the face of his latest Demi-Servant with a question...
"Why did you chose a white girl's appearance?". Medea asked with a concerned look, drawing a wince from Aleister.
"I... Didn't really think of it okay! Its not like the other Demi-Servants don't exactly match their previous selves perfectly okay!". Aleister shook his head, it wasn't like Shadow Stalker and the new Kurumi River were the same person anyway, he'd basically remade most of her body from the ground up to alter her appearance! "Is... Is the new backstory and personality taking well?".
"Yes, she fully believes she had abusive parents, no friends, and ran away when she hit eighteen. She remembers you saving her, she triggered on the streets, her parents dying from Leviathan, and is now absolutely in loyal and in love... And willing to share". FB began to list Kurumi's history and personality completely. "To allies she's a sweet and kind woman, but with enemies she's a sadist... Even Medea's request for chunnibyou habits was added".
The Caster smiled, uncaring at the concerned looks thrown at her. Aleister wondered where she even learned the word from.
"Well, I'll leave getting her adjusted to you two, I have more work to do". The master spoke to the two, FB nodding while FB...
"Oh! Before you go dear, I was wondering if I could take those dogs you've had captured and a few of the unpowered prisoners? Six should do". Medea's request caused a raised eyebrow from Aleister. "I just have some... Tests I wish to conduct".
"Let me check how many we have first, we only have so many and can only kidnap so much". With that final word, the master left the room.
It happened while he was practicing with his Asauchi, Aleister carefully performed a thrusting motion, he felt he was close, closer then ever to finally having it-
A glow surrounded the blade, the master's eyes widening, talk about the devil and he shall appear!
He felt the grip shift, perfectly forming into his hand, the blank blade of his Asauchi sharpening, leaving behind a pure white katana, green lightning markings running across the blade, while the tsuba was a simple round black disk, and the grip was a dull green, a small black half-sphere at the end to stop him from accidentally losing it. It resembled an ordinary katana otherwise.
Aleister grinned, swinging his now fully formed Zanpakuto. He felt a greater connection with it, but its name eluded him, if he wanted to get Shikai, he'd need to start meditating and increasing his Reiryoku. But right now he was to happy with success to focus on that.
"I wonder if Okita's up for another spar...".
Weapon evolved!
- Zanpakuto.
The nameless Zanpakuto of Aleister Crowley, its name still unknown. It resembles an ordinary katana, with a pure white blade with green lightning markings across it, a black disk tsuba, and a dull green grip, with a small black half-sphere at the end.
