Like any other day in Whitewater, it was gorgeous and comfortable. The sun gently warming spots exposed to its artificial rays and the shade was cool enough to nap in. But despite this inviting weather, there were those who chose to act inversely to the calming nature of the pounding waves and gentle sun.
The alley smelled of week old garbage, and the corners of the building left spots of decaying concrete and rust, which begged for maintenance as the rusted pipes creaked as they continued their functions. Two figures loomed over a much smaller one, who still stood wide in the face of the present danger.
Viktor was cornered. There stood a Strikedramon and a Deputymon directly blocking him as they chuckled and taunted;
"Humans should never wander alone. It's bad for your health. Hand over you backpack and all of your bits, then we'll think about letting you live."
Viktor sighed. Did it really come to this? He head killed much more powerful digimon and battled even more. But... he couldn't risky summoning 'it'. The whole reason he was alone and all the work he spent on getting away would be for nothing. The last thing he wanted was to waste everything because he couldn't swallow his pride. No, he couldn't risk that. Not here.
Viktor began taking off his backpack as he the Strikedramon stood a little wider, as if to block the view of what was happening in this alley. Maybe someone took notice? Good. Then maybe he could keep his momentum going. Even now he was being hunted.
"Hurry it up, we've not got all day, human!"
This was not an ideal scenario. But it was better than the alternative...

It was a bright, sunny day in Whitewater. Just about 5 miles south of here was the sanctuary of Mizu's dad, where the Digital Field Club's first mission was set to happen. It was a surprise to Mizu that it had been -Yukiko-'s idea to come to the nearby city to scout it out and maybe find a good hotel or restaurant to meet at. And the human had been quite impressed by the resort town. Everything was so bright, so warm, so nice! She had one of her rare smiles on her face, too! "Hehehehe, you surprise me, Yukiko! Not only did you come here by yourself, you even seem to be enjoying yourself! At this rate you might become a party animal like me in the near future!~" Yukiko blushed again. "E-e-e-eh? W-w-w-wha? Me? N-n-n-no, I was just curious..." The Betamon giggled, and they strode down the street.
However, soon, Yukiko stopped, turning towards a side alley. "Eh? What's the matter?" "D-d-don't you hear something from this alley?" The Betamon leaned closer. "Huh, I do...sounds almost...like a stickup." "Wha? C-c-come on, we need to investigate!" "Are you sure? That could be really dangerous!" "B-b-b-but we got to take a look, it could be someone is in danger!" Mizu smiled. As timid as her tamer was, when something piqued her curiousity she just couldn't resist! The two ran down the alleyway, dodging rubbish bins and sleeping, drunk Nanimon, and eventually came upon a human being threatened by two Digimon! "W-w-w-w-what are you doing!?" Yukiko didn't even think. She just called out, on instinct. Immediately after speaking she came to regret her decision.

Well, wasn't this a lucky sight? The Strikemon looked away for a second and here came and even more helpless looking human that was shadowed by an equally helpless Digimon;
"Oh nothing at all! See?"
He would try to lure her in the alley and if she took the bait, he'd block the exit. If she didn't, he'd stand there regardless after she saw the other human being forced to give his things to them. But now this little human had given them triple the score. The Strikemon would extend a large, clawed hand;
"Empty out your things, same as him and hand them over or they'll be trouble!"
Viktor kept his hands raised as he tossed his bag at the Deputymon's feet and only sighed as he watched this girl get rapped up in this mess. He shook his head;
"Play it small, thief. You start robbing every human and small digimon you see, you'll get a bounty put on you."
The Deputymon turned, pointing the barrel of his large revolver directly at Viktor's head, then chuckles;
"And who's going to enforce it, you?"
Viktor sighed again, watching the Strikemon carefully and the Deputymon even closer. There was no way he could do anything to hurt these digimon, not like this. But, he would take the opportunity to escape the moment it presented itself. He could evade them if that opportunity did open up, he had done it before.
Eventually, the two criminals would corral them together and Viktor would finally have a chance to speak:
"Listen. If you partner is of a level to fight these guys... I cannot take any hits. Not even a scratch. For the good of Whitewater I need to leave here unscathed. You understand?"
The Deputymon was about to give a very small tap to 'strike' the human, but he knew better. Not because of this humans empty threats about not being hurt, but because it would indeed get a bounty on them if they started hurting people and Digimon in their robberies;
"He's been saying that all day. 'Oi, don't hurt me or it'll be trouble.' Blowing smoke he is!"
The Deputymon pointed both his rifles at the humans: "Alright, turn your pockets."
Viktor only looked to this other girl, not quipping back to his captors. If she could read people, she would see he was dead serious behind those ghostly, ice-blue eyes.

Well, this had been a fine pickle she had gotten herself into. Now she had two large, strong-looking Digimon bearing down on her, demanding valuables. Not that she carried any, but she figured they wouldn't really believe her. She gulped. "I h-h-h-h-h-have no valuables, p-p-p-please, j-j-just let us go, s-s-s-stealing is not nice." That was pathetic. Even Yukiko knew that, but having a big dragon man and a literal gun pointed at her did not inspire any confidence.
Mizu, who had been shoved behind Yukiko to keep her safe, decided that it was time she took matters into her own hands. The Betamon strode in front of her tamer, batted her eyelashes and looked as sultry as she could. "Oh, you two big gentlemen wouldn't hurt a lady now, would you?~ Especially not one as gorgeous and helpless as me~" This might not work. Not at all. But she had a trick up her nonexistent sleeve, should they try anything...

The Strikedramon roared;
"Enough of these games! Hand over everything before we make you all stains on the concrete!"
The large reptilian digimon ran his claws along the wall of the building, sparking it and coming inches within Viktor, who didn't even flinch. He simply stared down the beast as if his warning held more than emptiness.
The Deputymon looked to his partner in crime, looking a bit concerned by the sudden anger of his usually mild mannered friend;
"Y-yeah, my friend is crazy. He'll do it!"
Viktor picked up on this instantly and pressed against the shatter point and prodded:
"Your friend seems a little worse for ware? Perhaps having him doing this is a bad idea."
"Shut your mouth, human!"
The Strikedramon pointed a claw finger inches from Viktor's exposed throat, and yet still, the human remained unmoved. The Deputymon raised his dual pistols at both humans:
"Make with the goods or I'll open fire!"
Viktor lowered his hands and watched, then shook his head; "You got what you wanted from me. Leave her out of it."
The Strikedramon roared and slammed his fist against the wall:
"That's it!" He cried out as he dragged his claws against the wall and aimed for the only digimon in the group! At least if someone died, the data could be loaded and he could benefit at least somewhat. The Deputymon called out, raising his hand in objection;
"No! Strike, wait!"
But it was too late. The Strikedramon was on a path to try to end Mizu where she stood! She'd be hard pressed to dodge and even more to respond. If the human girl didn't move, Viktor would attempt to grab her and dive in the opposite direction of the attack. Sure he couldn't get hurt, but there was no sense in not helping someone if he could!
___________________________________
Elsewhere.
Genesis stood perched atop the tallest building she could find, scanning the area to find her prey. Viktor managed to slip through he grasp twice, but she had him figured now and she had an idea of where he would go. The red hue of the D-Reaper escaped her hand slightly as she closed her eyes and giggled;
"Come out, come out, whenever you are. We have a date with destiny, Vik."
Now, it was only a matter of time.

This was not going as expected! Not only did Mizu stand in front of Yukiko, her charms were utterly useless on this raging reptilian, and now he was coming for them! And, well, as Yukiko had proven before in her encounter with the Kokuwamon, sometimes her body does the acting for her. She dove in to grab Mizu, rolling on the dirty ground and managing to barely avoid the giant Digimon's attack. Garbage had stained her clothes, and a loose shard of glass had left a gash on her lower right arm. She gritted her teeth and hissed in pain, but still held her Digimon tightly. Mizu, noticing this, got rather upset. "My, none of you know how to treat a lady. have your mothers never taught you what happens if you disrespect a lady? You get punished~". Electricity sparked from Mizu's back, letting loose an Electric Shock attack from her mouth. While she knew the attack would do little damage, aimed at the eyes it could be quite effective as a diversion. If the two Digimon didn't manage to get out of the way to bright electric flash to the eyes was sure to blind them briefly!

The Strikedramon was too enraged to care about the flash... until it hit his eyes and he roared out, covering his face and blinking then roaring as he blindly begun swinging in all directions! Deputymon, however, was more level headed and managed to see it coming, turning to avoid the attack made to his eyes. But now the problem was his enraged partner who was swinging at everything! Including him!
"Strike! Strike! Chill! Strike-"
Suddenly the Deputymon was sent flying into the ally wall not far behind him. His head bounced off the concrete then repeated the same manner in on the ground. A large gash appeared as it was bleeding data! He cursed as he leaned back to hold his fresh wound!
The Strikedramon managed to get some eyesight back and looked to the three who caused this.
"You'll pay for this!" He said, bringing both his claws out. That attacked worked once... but wouldn't a second time. Mizu had better have something better up her sleeve this time around! Viktor pressed against the wall;
"You wouldn't be acting so casually if you weren't at least his level or higher! No more games. Finish him." He pushed off the wall as he stood, watching the Strikedramon angrily glare at them. Viktor wondered how well these two could fight!
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Genesis continued to scan the city as she watched several Mon run away from something... perhaps it would be worth looking into? Her poor, lost human couldn't have gotten far! He was creative... but he still carried the slight scent of D-Reaper on him!
She would find him and make them complete. Their master demanded it!

Mizu wanted to use this opportunity to run away, but this stupid dragon was too wild to let that happen! She was getting ticked off! It all got worse when she saw that Yukiko had been injured. She had been injured because they attacked her! How dare they! Her eyes -gleamed- with barely restrained anger! "I see that you have no idea how to treat a lady, my good man." She hopped out of Yukiko's arms. "M-m-m-m-mizu, no! This is dangerous!" The Betamon gave her a glance. "I can do this, I can fight, but you must believe in me, and lend me your strength!" Yukiko had no idea what this meant, but the very possibility of any more people getting hurt drove her to trust her. "I trust you. You can do this!" Mizu grinned, and then she glowed! And so did Yukiko's Digivice! She barely had time to look at it before Mizu's shape turned into swirling data, growing and elongating! Her body became serpentine, her head formed into a helmeted snout, and a fin formed on her tail! When her form returned to solidity, she had become a sea serpent - Seadramon! She now towered over the Strikedramon, by at least 2 and a half heads! She grinned down at the dragon man. "Well then, allow me to show you what happens when you mistreat a lady! Let's dance~" She dashed forward, attempting to wrap herself around the enemy!
Yukiko for her part was completely stunned. "W-w-w-whoa..."

Viktor watched and leaned even further back, careful not to let the Seadramon crush him under her newly formed size! Yet... there was no fear. Two anyone watching, it would seem as though he had faced worse. He looked to Yukiko, who was watching timidly;
"Seadramon, hmm? Even out of water they're a force of nature," he turned to Muzo and cupped his hands, yelling to her, "You're a whole level ahead! But do not underestimate him. Strikedramon's are fierce!"
As the Seadramon wrapped itself tightly around Strikedramon, he only roared out, unable to even swing as his arms were trapped! He would wriggle and shake until he finally held his head down and began super heating his armor began glowing red hot, likely not a pleasant feeling on skin, should Muzo continue her bind! He would only continue to heat up until the metal caught fire, and his armor itself was burning!
He would then speak, extending both claws if he could speak;
"Seadramon or not... I'll kill you all!"
He brought both his claws out and leapt high into the air; looking to strike the Seadramon in her metal face as he echoed his attack;
"Strike claw!"
Viktor block Muzo of any debris, should it come her way and provided she didn't already dodge. He might risk much getting injured, but he couldn't idly by and let a little girl get hurt. This would be short fight is Seadramon played it right. This Strikedramon was too careless... to angry. He would be done and overwith in a matter of minutes!
At least, Viktor hoped.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The first of the mon's running was nothing more than a pathetic grease fire. Which disappointing Genesis as she walked down the street, looking a little somber. Why did Viktor have to run? She would make them perfect. He deserved to be... she deserved to be. The D-Reaper offered them so much, and in return they simply had to obey it. Why was that so hard to understand?
Genesis sniffed a bit. To be abandoned by her own tamer? She trusted the D-Reaper, so why couldn't he? It's not like she was trying to kill him only complete the gift that was already given!
"Viiiikkk... please. Just... come out already. I am tired and want to make us whole!" She called out to the sky, praying to the faceless clouds.
"Strike claw!"
She heard from a distance, and she tilted her head. That was someways away, but the town was mostly empty at this part... she wondered what that could have been.

Mizu squeezed the dragon man, not immidiately noticing he was heating up his armor, figuring it was friction heat from his struggle. Yukiko, however, noticed it, and made sure to tell her. "Mizu, let go, he's superheating his armor!" The Seadramon raised an eyebrow, but immidiately let go. "Yeowch! Hothead, ain'tcha?" She grinned, even as her opponent leapt into the air. "I guess I need to cool your head a bit!~" She gathered ice in her throat and shot an Ice Arrow at the dragon man! If she knew anything about superheated surfaces, then it was that suddenly cooling them down immensely was absolutely devastating!
As for Yukiko, with Strikedramon busy with Mizu, she ran towards Viktor, and tried to shield him by standing in front of him. As the slavic man was quite a bit taller than her this looked rather silly. "Stand behind me, and try to run away as soon as you can!"

The Strikedramon wasn't expecting the Seadramon to do that of all things. As the ice impacted onto his super heating armor, he was sent flying off target and slammed into the side of the building, which also caused his cracked armor to shatter against the impact. He landed just feet from Viktor and Yukiko and slammed his fist on the ground, then extended his claw to strike the pair before stopping himself, seeing Deputymon hurt. He closed his claw and turned, then looked to Seadramon;
"No... YOU did this. I will end YOU!"
He extended both of his claws and jumped into the air yet again, looking to strike the Seadramon in the eyes where she had caused him to lose his mind and hurt his friend! She did this. It was her fault. This would end her for certain! Or at least... he hoped!
___________________________________________________________________________________
Genesis walked around a bit before hearing a crash and another roar. Then someone pleading and blaming another digimon... oh if this wasn't the gold mine. She knew Viktor was somewhere in the vicinity, so she could digivolve. Her plan was to help with this attack then ask for any information about her tamer. She could blend in well enough and put on that mask to convince them she was good.
Her body glowed that all to obvious red from the D-Reaper as she took the form of Sakuyamon, walking around the corner as continued her strides to the fight. It might not be her human, but it was close enough.
"Sounds like a one sided fight. But... I'll have to break it up, then~"

Mizu was starting to get really ticked off now. Not only did this guy pick on helpless people, he gets mad when his idiocy gets his friend hurt. Uuuuh, double standard much? And worst of all, he had no idea when to stay down! Well, then she'll have to end this, once and for all! She gathered strength, sparks arcing along her body, as she readied her ultimate move! "Hydroelectric Blast, hah!" She then spat a huge blast of electrically charged water at the approaching Strikedramon. This *had* to fell him, as this move drained her strength! But only very little can survive an onslaught of electrically charged salt water!~

And just like that, the Strikedramon was sent flying backwards into the street itself! He toppled end over end before looking up and giving a deep sigh, laying defeated. Truly this was not right. He only did what he did because he was provoked... if they had just listened.
Deputymon looked up to see his friend get blasted into the street, then shocked! He might have hurt him, but Strike was his closest friend! Deputymon raised his revolvers and aimed them clean at the Seadramon's head, then spoke as he gently squeezed the trigger;
"For... Strike!"
As the shot rang out, an armored glove blocked the bullet, and suddenly a tall woman wearing armor resembling a fox was standing over him, giving a smile;
"Now that's just rude! Shooting someone when they're not looking. Tsk tsk."
She picked him up and tossed him into the street like she was sorting trash, letting him 'join' his friend as she clapped her hands together and turned to the Seadramon;
"Well... you're a fish out of water. Quite literally!" she giggled and leaned on the wall; "Oh, that human over there? I need to check something. So, if you'd kindly move so I can see them both?"
Viktor cursed, this was definitely Genesis, but he didn't dare speak up for the fear of her catching onto him. Now not only were these two in danger, but the entire city was at risk. He finally spoke, whispering to the girl
"Lead her away... she cannot get to me."

Yukiko was in awe at the might of Mizu's new form, and at the nonchalance at which this new arrival had dealt with the Deputymon! But...who was she? And where did she come from? And what does she want with this guy? And he was whispering to her that she must not get to him? This was getting worrisome! Still, her gut told her to listen to him. "M-m-m-m-ma'am, I d-d-d-don't even k-k-k-k-know you, a-a-a-and my p-p-p-parents told me t-t-t-to not l-l-l-listen to s-s-s-strangers, s-s-s-so please, l-l-l-leave us alone..." Lead her away? She had no idea how. But maybe, just maybe, if she ticks her off then she will follow her...the ocean is close by. She doubts she can swim as well as she can...if she could just lead her there so both she and Viktor could escape...

Genesis rolled her eyes, the little girl exclaimed that she shouldn't talk to strangers, yet Genesis just saved her partner from taking a serious blow. She was hardly someone she couldn't trust... no... there was more to this.
"Listen, I'm just looking for my human, that's all. I saved your partner, now help me save mine. He thinks I'm out to get him and he's lost his mind to the D-Reaper. If you see him, please, please, please steer clear. He'll infect you too."
She wasn't lying, not by any means. Viktor WAS infected, but he couldn't spread the D-Reaper as a human, not like this. Neither truly held that key. They needed to trust her, yet the didn't. Infact, Viktor had gotten them into this mess and she just helped them out. Maybe she was telling the truth? All she really wanted was to help her partner from this!
Viktor was hiding behind Muzo, pressing against her scales as he moved ever so slightly and made his way to the street. Genesis look to Muzo, not fully aware that he was there. What was more is she spotted something rather familiar;
"Oh Seadramon... don't hide things from me. His bag is right there. You didn't eat him did you? I'd have to do the unthinkable if you did!"
She gave a chuckle and pointed to the bag, "Again, I only want my human. And that's his. So please help me. I'm begging you."
