Let's Save the Town! A Shark's Upgrade! [CLOSED]

Voices rang up, up from the ground to the tall wooden armaments that had been added by the Goblisquad and Ogrekin. They had quickly taken the town as their own under the command of their boss and for the glory of the Ogrelord himself.

Three faces looked over the wooden battlements, staring down at Alpha and Beta with gormless expressions scanning the area below the gates.

“Uh, who dere?” Goblimon growled, waving around at very large chunk of meat on a bone. “Are you goblin friend?”

“I dunno, looks kinda weedy,” Shamamon said, throwing a large fruit into the air and swallowing it whole. “What ‘bout you?”

He looked to the third. SnowGoblimon merely let out a loud cackle and began to slobber over the rampart in a brainless sort-of-way; his eyes focused on the vast amounts of food stacked up behind them in a shaking pile.

“What’s a Red-Eyed Hero? Sounds weak to me. A nobody? Probably” They said as one, putting their heads together. “Nothing to worry about? Maybe we should tell the...”

All three shrugged and then pulled their heads back and turning around to face the back of the tower. “Uh, boss. We got a…”

Ogremon, who was laying on a deck chair; sunglasses pulled up over his eyes, held up a great green and spiked arm. “Just deal with what’eva it is. I’m tryin’ to relax. So let me hang out, ‘will ya.”

“But boss…” Goblimon said, stepping forward. “We got a couple-a-ingrates outside the gates.”

“You heard what I said. Deal with it!” Ogremon snatched the bone with meat still attached and with a series of heavy smacks hit all three goblins over the head with it. “Deal with it.”

Clutching at their heads, the three ran backwards towards the ramparts and once more looked down. “Get lost, or we’ll send something afta’ ya” they all cried as one. Knowing this wasn’t going to work, they put their heads together, once again.

“Do it anyway!”
“Okay!”
“HEHEHE, go!”

The earth below Alpha and Beta’s feet began to shake. The trees on either side of the gate rattled as their roots were ripped up like elongated clawed feet. Then, with a great crash of several trunks falling and the ground bursting open. Sending rubble and stones all over, a Digimon arose from deep underground.

A great purple beast; a spinning drill atop the face. A exceedingly large and angry-looking Dimogemon stared down at them. It roared and then reered up; the drill spinning rapidly. 

Blankly, the three Goblimon peered over the battlements as the Battle for Rosewood began.

“Now, we gonna win!”
“No so-called-heroes can stop us this time!”
“Or any time, hehehe!!”

The Dimogemon moved forward, taking long strides as it pushed itself forward. The large drill atop its violet head, span rapidly, releasing an odd buzzing noise as it drew closer. It was unfazed by the two small Digimon who challenged it, even after the evolved into larger forms. It let out a loud roar which caused other smaller Digimon housed in the trees nearby to retreat or otherwise fly away.

The white-lizard like Digimon rushed forward, its long blue cloak flapping behind it as it did so. It claws rose in the air, almost like a flash. Barely visible to the eye. Dimogemon was struck in the face by it and then fell on its front, as a second smash hit the point above the drill.

Due to this unfortunate fall, it failed to notice the second Digimon who looked like a wolf in a red coat, exuding a great amount of power until the ground beneath its feet began to crack. Dimogemon rose back up, roaring once again. The drill continuing to spin at an even more rapid pace.

Angered by this assault, it moved in again. Throwing its drill down into the ground, as if to say, I can do that too. The ground beneath their feet tore open and shook. Slowly the path was collapsing and stones, foliage and even the odd tree fell into the newly formed chasm it had created.

“Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!”
“It’s about time, drill head!”

The three Goblimon called down from their perch overhead, pumping their fists into the air and throwing meat and fruit into their wide open mouths as they did so. Enjoying the show of combat which was underway beneath them. Ogremon was paying very little attention, laying back in his deck-chair; sunglasses pulled over his eyes.

Earth Shaker
Dimogemon places his drill into the ground and spins it at full speed, cracking open the earth beneath the feet of its enemies and causing major structural damage. 
[Cooldown: 3 Turns]

The oversized monster mole laughed as one of the two appeared to be swallowed up by the ground. It stepped forward and let out a loud roar; rearing up into the air for a second before crashing back down. It’s full weight and hefty body, causing the earth to shake around them once more. It did this twice more, causing more and more of the trees to topple and fall with ear-splitting ripping noise as roots and earth parted.

The Dimogemon let out another cackling roar as the drill atop its head began to spin once more. It threw its head down to the ground but was caught in the face by a barrage of ice-cold water. Knocking it off guard, it faltered for a second. The drill slowing as it tried to find the culprit for the impromptu bath. As it did so, it failed to notice Beta rising from the ground, flying at leave twenty or so feet up into the air and falling back down. Slamming a foot right into the head of the Dimogemon.

The force of this attack was so great that the resulting gust and shockwave blew fallen debris, rocks and branches up into the air before they fell once more with a series of rattles against stone. The giant mole toppled, clearly stunned by the attack. The eyes rolling in its head and mouth open and wide with shock.

CRASH!

It fell with an almighty slam, uprooting more trees and moved no more.

“Is okay?” A tiny voice said, as Levi clambered over a trunk and then slid over it landing next to the fallen mole. She tilted her head to the left, trying to take in the scene and then to the right as she took in Beta. “Me is a Levi. Who is the you?” The tiny shark blinked twice with large yellow eyes and smiled brightly revealing rows of sharp teeth.

"Levi confuse... what going on?"

The little shark was tilting her head from left to right looking from the fallen mole to the two Digimon who introduced themselves as twins named Beta and Alpha. Also, that they were related to a legendary hero which made Levi’s eye light up with amazement. “Wows… you'ze awesome! Levi think that is much wow! Can we be friends?”

But soon, she turned to look up at the makeshift wooden battlements tied up with thick rope as voices called down to them.

"Aww man... no fair! Jerks"
"The Dimogemon was a bust... hehehe"
"What a wimp. I could have won all by myself."
"Don't you see the sign!"

‘GET LOST, OGRE TERRITORY!'

Followed by a skull and crossbones logo beneath it. Levi looked sadly upward and then turned back to look at her two new friends. “Rosewood… taken by bads, Levi wanna helps, okay doke?” Nodding to Alpha and Beta in turn and looking stoically at each. “Levi wants to help...uh, kick em out too!”

“One of ya or three of ya. It’s all the same in the end. You’re goin’ down.” A loud voice echoed down from atop the wooden castle walls. The voice was familiar to Levi but she couldn’t quite place it. Until the three heads of the Goblimon appeared, perched atop the wall like a horizontal totem pole. Each one smug but still their usual brand of gormless and irritating. “Levi met them! Levi know! They meanies! From a mean team of meanies and they stole a Digimanual… thingy?”

Her last two words were more confused than sure thing, but she looked seriously up at them.

“Oh, the shark and two new misfits. I saw you at the party, midget. You might have fooled these idiots but not me.” The voiced echoed again, followed by a creak of a chair and then heavy footed stomps. “Ogremon runs this town now. Get lost if ya wanna keep your lives or I’ll crush the breath outta ya.”

Levi growled up at them but Ogremon stepped forward, looking down at them. “You cant beat me, I got the Digimental and a army. What do you have brat. Nothing. You got no chance against the power of the Ogrekin.”

A maniacal laughter ripped through the silence following Alpha’s taunts, causing everyone to look up. Standing atop the wooden battlements; one foot pressed against the tower. A smirk forming across her beak into what Levi would describe as a “big ol’ crazy grin”. The long cloak she wore across her shoulders was flapping in the gentle breeze.

Startled by the ominous laughter, Levi looked up, last, with her head slightly tilted. “Owoo, its that birdy from the town! The one Levi saved from the rubble,” she said, turning to look at Alpha and Beta.

“Don’t you turn away, little shark. Or you’ll miss my fireworks…” Fenixmon said slowly, pulling a staff from her back and spinning it between her feathered fingers. “Watch carefully n-” Cutting herself off as the staff slipped from her hand and stuck the floor with a dull thunk. “Uh…no way, not my staff. Please don’t be broken, don’t be broken...phew…”

Swiping it back up, she jumped back into her former position. “I am your undoing. I am the darkness. I am…”

“You’re super duper funny!” Levi said, brightly. Her eyes sparkling even brighter. “Let’s be friends, okay?”

Fenixmon paused again; unsure how to take Levi’s… kindness. Not once in her short life, had ever been this kind to her before for no reason. She must want something in return. Money? Food? Supplies? Although, she had none of these…

Protection, maybe. Of course, she must want the protection of an Arch Wizard such as herself.

“I’m afraid, I am spoken for… and that fact will be your undoing!” She spun the staff around, once more. This time managing not to drop it, pointing the end with the glimmering red orb in the direction of Levi, Alpha and Beta. “I promise this will be quick.”

Oh, blackness shrouded in light…
Frenzied blaze clad in night…

I am the destruction incarnate...
In accordance with the principles of all creation...

Let the hammer of eternity descend unto me...

EXPLOOOooo…

---

Fenixmon for the third time was cut off. But this time, it was accompanied by a loud and ominous thunk; followed by a body hitting the ground and a small moan of pain.

“That was just getting annoying...” A gruff voice said. “Anyway, you want a challenge from my entire army? That’s fine by me. Goblisquad, lower the drawbridge and ready for the goblins of war.”

“Right boss!”
“Right boss!”
“Right boss...hehehe…”

With the sound of gears turning the makeshift drawbridge that had been attached to the wooden structure added by the Ogremon and his group, slowly lowered into the grass. Narrowly missing the fallen Dimogemon as well as Levi, Alpha and Beta. Levi tilted her head once more, confused by what was going to happen next. "Alpha, Beta... What is meaning?"

But the questions was answered hundreds of Goblimon charged towards the newly open gate. One hundred clubs raised and each of their faces contorted into expressions of restless anger.

The little shark was left alone, standing by the gates. Head slightly tilted to one side, as she watched the swarm of green move closer to Alpha and Beta who were charging forward towards them. Her mouth dropping open as Alpha’s body was engulfed in blackness, until it burst with an explosion of wind and energy. Beta too, screaming and swallowed in a red aura.

“Woah…Alpha, Beta is super duper cool” Levi said, more to herself than to anyone as she watched the onslaught ensue. Thinking to herself that these two were about as cool as Zack and Marigold were. Not wanting to stand here and let them do all the work, the shark ran forward – wet duckfooted feet slapping against the wood of the drawbridge – into the makeshift fortress.

She summoned her Trident which fell into her fins as she ran through the considerable destruction that had already taken place. Swinging at the straggling Goblimon who passed her, taking one across the stomach. Winding them and causing them to fall over before slamming another one over the head. Comically causing a lump atop appear on the bulbous green head.

Levi turned her head left and right, trying to find the source of the voice that they had heard from over the battlements. It was definitely higher than ground level, so she needed to find a way to get up. After slapping a few more of the more gormless Goblimon who passed, leaving them collapsed on the ground, Levi ducked into a side street.

A dark alleyway stood in front of her. Two buildings close together, with only a dim light flicking from the brick wall. A large dumpster was on one side of it. She clambered up with some difficult, due to her short stature. A short ways away from it, there was a ladder leading to the fire escape, which snaked up the building. But before she could climb, she heard slow dull voices approaching.

“Where is?”
“You said this way?”
“I thunk so”
“Well, you thunk wrong!”

Levi moved back, pushing her body against the wall as the two Goblimon entered the alley. Each one was holding a large bone club and their flat faces were only looking forward. Maybe she could get to the ladder before they even see her.

“Uh, now what?”
“I dunno…”

Trying to sneak in the dark was difficult but the shark took a step forward… slipping on the ridge of the dumpster and falling flat onto her face. The crash caused made the two Goblimon look up and see the tail sticking up.

“There! Gobli Strike!” A ball of flame appeared between the fat green fingers, before being thrown into the air and with another thwack hit by the club in the direction of the shark, who ducked just in time. Three more barrages of struck flames balls followed it. They weren’t smart enough to climb up here and grab here and content to just fire until she fell.

“Ouch,” Levi cried as the end of her tail was sizzled by the flames. “Das a mean!”

“Goddum!”
“No way, it wa’ me!”
“Nuh uh, it wa’ me!”

The two gormless Goblimon were muttering to each other as they half-celebrated, half-argued.

“Let’s just grab it.”
“Uh, ‘kay”

Just as they moved as if to grab the shark but she had swung her Trident around and cried at the top of her lungs. “Surging Shark!”

At once, a shark made of water popped into life; it flew down the alley. Knocking the two Goblin’s backwards, before they could make another move. They slammed their heads against the brick wall and moved no more. Finally, the water shark burst and sent a cascade of water down the dark, dank street and out into the main street.

“Phew,” Levi said before jumping onto the ladder and starting to climb it.
