The thick smoke in the room rather quickly triggered the sprinkler and fire alarm systems of the bank. A shower of water fell upon everyone. Not enough to completely remove the smoke from the room, but enough to begin reducing its thickness. Hopefully in the next few minutes it would be gone.
However, a new figure had entered from the front door. They were a figure standing 5'9" in height, dressed in a cowboy outfit complete with 10 gallon hat. 4 glass panelled wings were arranged on his back in an X-shape, and 2 large guns were gripped in his mechanical hands.
This was Bellamy in his Satellamon form. The smoke within the bank was far too thick for him or his brother to operate in such circumstances, but upon evolving to his Armor Ultimate level, Bellamy's eyes lit up as he was able to use his sensory abilities to see through the smoke. He had gathered enough from hearing the events from earlier.
"Identifying signatures..." Bellamy whispered through his communication with Colin and Luke, as his GPS system locked in and registered the three Commandramon in the room. He could tell who they were from demeanor alone. Tadayoshi's Commandramon identified, registering as Silence-1. Enemy Commandramon identified, registering as Bandit-1. Vector identified, registering as Dickhead-1.
Following that, he moved quickly, advancing through the smoke until he rested the barrel of his gun against Bandit-1's head, aiming under the rim of his helmet. "Everyone, hold your fire. Bellamy here, made contact with the enemy."
Bellamy hadn't yet known what this Commandramon had done so far, but he knew that for there to be this much trouble, this one was no good news at all. Meanwhile, Colin would communicate to Tadayoshi, Johan and John through his comm.
"Sorry about this sudden development, guys. Bellamy insisted that he do something since he and Luke can't do anything in low visibility in their Rookie or Champion level forms, and as it is, this situation's gone too far for him to remain idle. I agreed to evolve him to Armor Ultimate. Hopefully this'll help us get through this while keeping in control."
"Okay, punk. Let's make a few things clear." Bellamy said, his voice loud and clear in the room. "You make a move, I'll shoot you in the head. You call for help, I'll shoot you in the head. You give me any answer I ain't satisfied with, I'll shoot you in the head. You do anything whatsoever to escalate this situation further, I'm gonna shoot, and, please remind me, where will I shoot you?"
He paused for the Commandramon to answer. Regardless, he'd press on, water from the sprinklers above dripping from his hat.
"I'm not sure if you're aware of your chances of being reconfigured if you get destroyed on this world. You're probably thinkin' that even if things go bad for you here, you're on the egg express back to the Village of Beginnings." Bellamy continued. "I wouldn't be so certain about those odds, pal, so, if I were you, I'd think about my next moves very carefully."
If the Commandramon moved, backchatted or did anything else that would threaten others in this room, Bellamy would simply fire a Cosmic Raider at point-blank range.
"Question 1. Are you acting alone here or do you have accomplices? Question 2. How did you get here and what did you do this to this bank? Question 3. Why are you referring to the other Commandramon as D-86?"
As Bellamy conducted the interrogation, Colin and Luke held back outside the room that was filled with smoke. "What the heck is happening to these computers...?" Luke asked, astonished at the amount of garble that was showing up on them.
"Probably something to do with the digital interference that's surrounded this building." Colin replied, keeping his attention between Bellamy and Luke. Hopefully the smoke could be dampened down soon so they could have a better grasp on the situation.
Outside of the room, Colin has evolved Bellamy to Satellamon (Armor Ultimate).
Bellamy uses GPS Triangulation to see through the smoke.
Combat Passive Ability: GPS Triangulation - If the enemy is using illusions, stealth or any other type of evasive technique, Bellamy can track their movements and make a lock on them, allowing him to target them normally.

"Going cold," was the muttered acknowledgement from the captain as Bellamy announced he'd made 'contact' with the subject. Well, he supposed preparing to blow the subject's digicore across the city did indeed count as 'contact.' At this point the captain felt almost superfluous here. True, he did get the invader to drop their primary weapon and reduce the threat level, but now Bellamy had gone and usurped the others' control of the situation.
Oh, well. The captain couldn't say it was unwarranted. Tadayoshi groaned, "A little warning next time, James?" but it there was a sort of resignation in his tone, too. He knew those guys did the right thing even if they didn't say anything about it. "Well... you're not wrong. This containment is botched either way."
"Vector, stand down! You will not interfere further!" growled the captain after taking cover from the latest explosive. "Team, it's Vector. This is a kidnapping."
"You gotta be kidding me."
"'Least it's not going real well."
"This can't be allowed to continue. They're not even officially agents. Escort them out."
"Wilco!" Dakota sounded a bit too eager over the comms. Undercover of the fog, he was able to sneak through the front door with minimal visibility to humans. Fumbling around for Vector and Shino was a mess in the smoke; even his nose couldn't sniff through two different clouds of smoke *plus* the water bath. Heck, even the captain's eyes were starting to sting from that kind of concentration (though of course the noise and water hardly even made him flinch). However, with a bit of smoke dissolution thanks to the sprinklers, he caught their outline, made his way to them, and tried to pull each one into one if his sides with one of his arms in something that half-resembled a friendly embrace but was also a quite forceful tug. "Time's up, kids," he tried to explain to them while still keeping a friendly smile up, "Got orders. We're gonna let the adults take it from here. Let's just take the credit when they're done, eh?"
Hopefully the hostile decided on the smart thing and put that grenade back where he found it, because Commandramon began to advance again, getting in good and close to his doppleganger. With Bellamy hopefully keeping him under control, the captain let his rifle sling catch his gun so he could reach for the enemy's wrists, attempt to pull them both behind his back, and slip them into a set of plastic cuffs. If successful there, he'd continue on to disarm the enemy, first picking up the stray rifle followed by relieving him of all his other grenades and any other nasty surprises.

Johan and Dokamon weren't the only ones who realized that immediate action needed to be taken. After Guardromon had fired his Warning Shot attack at the enemy Commandramon, John had Digivolved Casimeir to Greymon. If they were in a less serious situation, Johan definitely would've wanted to observe Greymon more, but of course this was not the time for such thing.
As soon as the situation began to grow more hostile, a bangsmoke grenade suddenly crashed right into the bank, meaning it was now hard for anyone to be able to see at all. "SOMEONE *cough* MAKE SURE THE TARGET DOES NOT ESCAPE," Johan had yelled. He could at least hear Tadayoshi's Commandramon barge in and try to contain the suspect. But other than that, Johan and Guardromon had no idea what was going on.
No one had a real good idea of how this Digital Field thing worked, so it was best to try and minimize collateral damage as much as possible. Especially with the smoke, as it was hard to tell friend from foe. Everyone aside from Vector had Digivolved at this point, all of it basically just to intimidate this intruding Commandramon, including the twins. When the smoke cleared and the suspect saw the sheer amount of AEGIS agents on the scene, he made the smart decision by putting his rifle down and his arms up.
The target began to speak up, referring to Vector as "D-86". He said that his mission was to upload data to their network. Immediately Johan raised an eyebrow after hearing this. "Uploading data? What data are you even talking about?"
Things went from bad to worse when the enemy immediately just decides to terminate Vector. While this would provide everyone with a sigh of relief, Vector ruined that enjoyment with what he called a Present Grenade. Immediately the room went from smoky to unseeable, as if the area wasn't already smoky enough. Even worse than that, the security sprinklers began to go off. This caused Guardromon to rust up and immediately reform back into Dokamon.
"God damn it, Vector..." Dokamon growled as he attempted to lift himself off the ground. "Ugh... I cannot see anything."
Thankfully help had arrived. Bellamy walked into the bank, telling everyone to hold their fire as they had made contact with the enemy. Johan could hear through his comm that Colin had digivolved Bellamy to his Armor Ultimate to help out. "That's alright, Colin. If we tried doing anything ourselves, I'm pretty sure we'd regret it immediately."
Now was time for interrogation. Johan and Guardromon felt it was best to remain silent, as they were technically still newbie AEGIS agents. They could hear Bellamy get straight to business with interrogating the target, clearly no bullshit was being dealt with here. Sometimes I wonder how I get myself into these messes...

The moment the sprinklers turned on-- it signaled the end of the quick skermish as the 'ace' of AEGIS didn't mess around. He came in swinging with a powerful Satillitemon that could detect specific targets in the smoke. He couldn't be stopped as he swept right in and managed to get right behind the Commandramon before things would escalate. He aimed the barrel of a gun right under the helmet of the enemy Commandramon, threatening him to blow his head off if he tried anything funny.
Tadayoshi's digimon-- known as Wilco tried to haul both Vector and Shino off the site-- in fear of the danger that was going on. While he could no problem handle Vector in the mists of the smoke, Shino was hanging on to the enemy Commandramon's words. When she was grabbed-- she shook it off fiercely. "Hey! Let go of me!" she shouted, giving a firm slap to the digimon's arm. "I need to hear this, so don't grab me!"She put up more of a fight than Commandramon did that was for sure as she joined the others, demanding to hear what the enemy had to say. She was now soaked from the sprinklers, trying to stay somewhat dry by the cover out of the spray.
All the while the screens continued to flicker-- but something began to come through--a logo similar to the D-with the agumon through it, like those who have seen a blue or red card. However... it was of a different kind of pixilated Digimon, and the D was of a different style. More violent.
As Shino saw this, she got a bad feeling about it. "A hacking attempt... this is like what happened at my uncle's shop. Someone is trying to hack in from somewhere..." she said.
Finally, the enemy Commandramon glanced back at Satillitemon."We are never alone, fools. " the Commandramon said, "We are an army, and you will pay for your interference in due time. Glory to the D-Brigade!" he declared darkly-- and the same hazy logo flashed in the gaze of its eye.
Clearly Colin's Digimon was not gonna hesitate and do it and shoot-- but what was odd was that he didn't even care. No emotion, no fear, no shiver-- the machine digimon acted just like that. A machine with no motivation of self preservation. Even for Digimon, that was something to consider.
As all this went down, Shino took notice to one of the computers nearby. Taking out a small flash drive she had in her pocket, she stuck it into the device, and it began to record what was going on-- hopefully before the connection would be 'terminated'.

Well, what was Dakota supposed to do? It wasn't really in his nature to violate people's will by forced removal like that. Should he grab at them again, not let go? He thought about it, but it just felt like the wrong thing to do even if it was intuitively the right thing. Going with his instincts instead, he let the pair stay, but he also stuck real close as if supervising them.
When the subject promised retribution, Commandramon butt his doppelganger in the back with his rifle stock. "No more threats out of you." Excessive force? Maybe by some standard, but in his own mind Commandramon was saving the invader's life; Bellamy's trigger finger looked pretty itchy, and the soldier was preempting it. "Davis! Cas!" Commandramon waved for those two to come over to him. "Escort our guest to the van, please." Commandramon would let them have control of the prisoner if they took it. "Boss man, the present's wrapped up. We gotta pull out before the fog goes," Dakota urged over comms again. "Agreed. All callsigns, stay undercover of fog and meet at the rear for extract." Various acknowledgements preluded exactly that happening. One by one, each digimon voluntarily withdrew into the Loader until Yoshi only had two digimon in play. One of those digimon understood they couldn't let unofficial personnel just poke around unsupervised on a bank's computers under any circumstances. "No!" he barked at her, "Walker, go," was for Johan, meaning for him to handle that situation however he thought best. Cyberspace was his element.
"Dakota, I told you to get her out."
"Well, boss, she's kinda on a roll. What do you want me to do, carry her?"
Tadayoshi huffed. "Yes. That's your job. We'll be discussing this later."

John and Casimeir were happy that the events were now systematically being taken care of. The fog was starting to clear too, at least. So now, it was easier to tell who was where.
Though the pair did not appreciate the enemy Commandramon's threats in the slightest. The mention of an army and the D-Brigade made the two concerned. Just what sort of devious plot did AEGIS uncover? And from what was supposed to be a bank robbery of all things.
"The D-Brigade?" John mimicked. Great, he thought, another group to worry about. Keeping an eye out for DATS was stressful on its own. And with threats of being targeted, it was no secret that he and Casimeir felt somewhat worried.
Casimeir huffed through his nostrils. "Whatever the D-Brigade throws at us, we'll handle it." These words helped instill some confidence in John.
Before anything else could be spewed from the Commandramon's mouth, he was hit in the back of the head by...Well, Commandramon. Commandramon gave the order to the pair. They willingly complied.
Casimeir de-Digivolved back to Agumon seeing how a Champion level was no longer needed. With nothing else left to handle, the pair helped to escort the enemy out. "Don't try anything funny," John warned.

Bellamy at least acknowledged how awkward Commandramon and Tadayoshi must feel at this. "Sorry for this, guys, just I had no other way to see through this smoke and things were escalatin' pretty damn fast here." the Satellamon explained.
Now that he took the chance to look around for a bit, Bellamy noted that the usual staff and customers seemed to be absent. He hoped nothing bad had happened to them. But then he paid attention to what the Commandramon had to say. He was part of something called the D-Brigade, and seemed to be prepared to die after revealing this. However, Bellamy would not grant that death so easily, not when he was put in a position like this.
However, the Satellamon noted the sheer willingness of this digimon to accept a seemingly permanent death. That disturbed him enough to convince him that he was dangerous until fully immobilized. "We probably don't wanna bring this guy with us." he said. Thankfully the Commandramon he had designated "Silence-1" took control soon after and instructed others to take him to the van outside. John and Casameir would help. Bellamy would let them do so.
Then, other things seemed to be happening. All of this was a little too much for Bellamy to process, especially when he was focusing on making sure the Commandramon known as Bandit-1 was rendered no longer a threat, namely if he made a false move he'd just shoot and end it there. "Okay, for the benefit of all of us, could someone please summarize what the heck is goin' on here?" he asked, looking in the direction of Shino and Vector with the expression of having a huge headache, which was accurate given his current feelings.
"Frankly I'd like to know that too, please." Colin added through the comm. It was like pure chaos had erupted in the past two minutes and yet he knew nothing of what was going on in the building. Given his rather extreme measure of evolving Bellamy to Armor Ultimate in an attempt to de-escalate the situation, he would appreciate a moment of peace to catch up on just what was going on.

(Sorry for delay and moving to next part) While this went on as the Commandramon was detained-- and Vector was back at the entrance of the room but close enough to see-- Shino was looking at the coding of the computer. The word 'terminate' would repeat in the code and she realized something. " Look out! It's--" she cried as she pulled the flash drive out. Before any move could be done by Bellamy to stop the Commandramon-- the light in its eyes suddenly went to static-- as did the rest of his body. Right in front of them, the Commandramon suddenly burst apart like an implosion. It left many surprised that he just was de-atomized right there. Even Shino was a bit surprised how it happened. But it was clear why to her. The screens around and the look in its eyes-- it was connected to whatever program was hacking the bank. By some strange command, the digimon self-destructed. It clearly wasn't going to stay around for being interrelated. It didn't even care in its final moments as he just allowed himself to be blown up. " Um... so he used a literal dead-man switch?" Vector commented from afar, not being funny at all. Shino stood there as she saw the bits of data fade away. With it-- the screens of the bank began to restore to normal, going black, shutting down, or resetting. Whatever attack that had been done digitally on the bank was stopping and after which-- the fog was starting to clear up. The digital field now ending. As things came back to normal, save for the mess of the bank, it seemed the threat was over. However, the event left far more questions than answers. One thing was for sure, the enemy KNEW Vector. An unsettling thought, even if Vector had no memory of anything or this myserious "D-Brigade". " What in the world is going on here...?" She said as she clutched the flash drive with the data she cloned off the computer, realizing she would have to look into this. OOC: Next post will be back at AEGIS HQ, so Shino can safely show the data she got from the computer and to discuss well... Vector's stupidity

John and Casimeir didn't exactly know how to react to a Digimon just offing themself, let alone right before their very eyes. They had never witnessed such a thing before. They stood in silence for what they felt was an eternity.
A Digimon, a living creature, had taken their own life. And for what? For some mysterious group? It wasn't at all like a digital program was deleted. It was a living, breathing, thinking individual.
Casimeir De-Digivolved back into Agumon. He looked worriedly over to his Partnered Human. "John?"
"I don't understand," John murmured. His mind was racing at a million miles an hour in an effort to comprehend the events that transpired. He was gripped tightly by grief, and by sorrow. It was going to take some time for his mind to heal from this.

Commandramon looked into Satellamon's eyes and challenged his suggestion as respectfully as he could while still acknowledging the urgency of his own reasoning. "There will be no field executions for contained subjects. If this one is part of a group to follow up on, we need to learn all we can about them. We should keep him as long as we need him, and once we're done-" Thank heck for Shino's warning. Commandramon tugged his human general by the belt along with himself to cover behind a pillar.
Boom!
"...Good one."
Commandramon peeked out with his barrel horizontal, but there was nothing left there to shoot. After sweeping a hundred eight degrees, he warily lowered the weapon and stepped back out. "James might have a point after all."
"Oh my God... that's wrong. That's just completely wrong. The Black Army didn't even-"
"-Agreed, sir."
Yoshi shook his head in order to clear it. "We need exfil. Law enforcement can ignore us much longer. Once we're gone we'll arrange a cleanup crew and someone to check the computers for any trace of that virus."
"Exfilling." Commandramon made a beeline for the van they took they get here, Tadayoshi close behind.

Bellamy reasoned that Commandramon (he stopped thinking in terms of 'Silence-1' now that the chaos of battle had subsided somewhat) had a point, that if they didn't bring Commandramon with them, what could they do? Field executions against surrendered prisoners was forbidden, then... it seemed the digimon solved the problem for them by seemingly self-destructing. Bellamy leapt clear when he realized what was going on.
As the digital field faded, Bellamy did another quick scan of the bank using what sensory systems he could for other digimon, but found none. The digital field began to fade, and he de-digivolved back to Impmon when all was clear.
"Alright, let's get the fizzety-uck outta here!" he said, agreeing with the sentiment of the others here, showing a bit more levity in his rookie form. And not long after, he, Luke and Colin were in the AEGIS van, with Colin giving the all-clear to the authorities that the "D-monster" threat had been reduced a notch, but the bank would still need to be cleared up of any residual digital phenomenae or traces of hostile programming on their computers.
Colin was about to wonder how exactly when that would be done when he heard a new voice through the communicator in the van. He was glad to hear it.
"Closed channel secure. Bank team, this is Sophie at HQ. Just returned a few minutes ago. Need time to brief the specifics of this situation, but, is there anything you need immediately?"
Colin held back his words of relief, but instead responded as professionally as he could.
"Just a cleanup crew at this point, So- I mean, ma'am" Colin said, realizing he shouldn't really be on first name terms with his sister while on duty. "All immediate hostiles have been cleared and we're heading home with whatever samples we could find"
"Very well, I think that's best. Don't worry about the bank, I'll send the cleaners on the way." here she was referring to the team of programmers, sweepers and other such auxiliary staff that worked for AEGIS, even if they didn't have digimon partners. "I'll await you at HQ and tell you more once we're face-to-face. Over."
Colin looked at the others in the van with a sense of relief. His big sister Sophie was back, hopefully about to take charge again. He hoped she would know what to do in this difficult situation.
