Post by Hisato and Bad Company on Oct 5, 2021 1:30:50 GMT
Yeah, it made sense that the current foe was someone even Kenna didn't know about. Regardless, the expected had seemed to have been realized thanks to the nascent Mega level's form of attack. With any luck, Aleh would not be able to do much for a time. Yet, with what she still was able to do, and what the information being relayed showed? It was... A terrible position to be in. "She gets -faster- for every person targeting her?!" Hisato HISSED this out loud, though this was likely only audible to Kenny, if he wanted to relay that to anyone else, it would be up to him. What in the name of all manner of fuck POSSESSES these goddamn saurian shitheads to all have some ability like that? Seriously, he saw something like that on Gumo! ... Okay, maybe that was a bit of an existential crisis. Maybe. Where had Bruga gone...? "...Ah, I see, we dance alone, and yet not." Caine mused. "How I hate it here in this scrap heap of a factory." Regardless, Aleh moving was pretty problematic, yet Caine was not the average fandom on Twitter. No, he was going to cancel her with his bare hands. At the same time, Hisato SCRAMBLED to try catching whatever it was Nob was throwing his way! What...was it? In the meantime, Caine scoffed at the attempt at mockery. "Impressive display--it shows precisely what to focus on. I thank you for the insight." He opened his fist, before clenching it shut, a prison of crystal shooting up to try snatching Aleh up within it. It would not harm her, but it would impede movement.
At that same moment, elsewhere, beyond this plane of existence... Light, blinding lights would swiftly overwhelm the brothers as they flew towards whatever was calling to them. They would then find themselves high above the skies--a familiar sight, given earlier in the day. Neither had flown up here, that much was certain. "Where...Is this?" The crimson dragon inquired, the exhaustion of the events that lead them here quickly making itself known. The azure hornet could only really come up with one thing in response, "Perhaps where we need to be." True to the words of the narrator, this was a rather confusing scene--Gyo initially thought that was the real Bruga. Scarab thought otherwise, seeming to step ahead to see the other scene. Gyo walked towards Bruga, yet...paused. He noted she sounded younger than they were both familiar with. A moment in the past. "A moment of weakness. ...Does this not seem familiar?" Scarab asked towards his brother. It was far, far too familiar. At least for the ExVeemon. And the Stingmon knew it. But this was not the end of this, was it? No, there was more that had to be seen. There was more to the story. Both proceeded towards the next scene--what was this trying to tell them about the Kotemon that Gyo felt he could call a friend?
Relevant Passives: Caine: Seer [Passive]: Caine...is a strange one. He's connected to a network of riddles and madness that ultimately give him knowledge he should not know. Think of this passive as a ability-based version of the Arcana Draw card. He's able to tap into this network in order to divine an answer or a hint as to a question within a mission or plot, but it's ultimately up to the DM/runner of the thread as to how clear or unclear this is. Once per thread.
The Emperor [Passive]: Caine's bullets in this form seek out that which he deems wicked, homing in upon them by his will for a 30% increase in overall accuracy.
Gluttony [Passive]: Of course, all of his attacks leech life from their quarry, and heal Caine for 5% of his overall health.
Caine realizes he can't really do much here so he's going to try keeping Aleh on lockdown while Hisato curses Unaba Passives and wishes a plague of graders upon them. Well, not really that last part, but he does try to catch what Nob's throwing their way! Also, here's what Caine used. Primal Orb: Caine slams his fist shut, a crystalline prison shooting up to ensnare the opponent in place for a turn and deal no damage. However, it also lowers their defenses by 50% for that post alone. Three post cooldown. Durations - FotDK's Silence - 1/1 Primal Orb - IDK if it even hit yet bro Cooldowns: FoTDK: 0/3 Primal Orb: 0/3

After a long walk on those stairs the group would reach their destination and just as Daichi expected from the little map Ina show him early on a square floor with a huge gap in the middle that showed the first floor, if he had to put it into words it seemed like the floor of those jails in movies and anime he watches, more importantly tho when he cautiously reach the railing he spotted a group of figures and his eyes immediately darted towards the humanoid figure propping an inner question "What even are Digimon?" That aside he would see a Meicoomon too and he figure that was one of their friends
"We are on luck, that Meicoomon is one of the sister that came to Ozith with us" He told Ina with a lower voice to not risk being heard
As soon as those big footsteps echoed through the room Daichi's first instinct was to drop to the floor and not move a muscle nor produce a sound because whatever that thing was it surely sound huge and no doubt could spot the human if he was careless, once said figure show up the chills started running through his back as this mechanized digimon give him flashbacks of the encounter with the gun gorilla his first day on the digital world.
The trio listen attentive to what they were saying, first and foremost that vampire lady was the captain of the Dusk Pirates whatever that meant (for all Daichi knows this aren't actual pirates and more like digital pirates carrying illegal roms or something), either case it was easy to assume that it was Lire's boss as he was told they would meet with the higher ups, as for said higher up his name was Isimbi and claims to be the fifth on the scale and the "strongest ever breed" which sounded a bit contradictory because one would think that if he was the strongest he would be leading and not on fifth place considering how much strength Unaba seems to pride themselves.
The talk of the Ultimate Brachimon made his ears perk up a bit and give a look of worry to his partners as they haven't hear from that group and hearing that that thing may be able to kill Unaba's warriors didn't sound too reassuring for them but at the same time everyone seemed way more capable than him so the teen will trust everyone is doing alright and focus on his side of the mission.
Lire move to the next room without waiting the group and Ina was conflicted on what to do, if this was any other case he would let Ina stay and listen but things with Lire were not optimal so for the sake of the mission it was time to split forces once again and hope for the best.
"Ina do you trust us?" He ask first, it would be best to know this before taking any decision "I know Lire doesn't trust me so it might endanger the mission if I go with her, if you trust us please take Jin and go with Lire and help the digimon of the other tribes"
"Oh?" The little monkey question the decision of making Jin go instead of him but it suddenly clicked "Yeah it would be better if we stay, Sensei and I can listen everything from here and we have the high ground and element of surprise, if something happens we can help the group below from up here!"
"My blade is at your disposal Lady Ina, shall we go?" The ninja said awaiting for Ina's decision
This was the best course of action to make sure their side of the mission remains on the path of success, for now Daichi would keep himself on the ground making sure to not be that visible even if someone looks up for some reason and listening the conversation below.

Post by Kenny O'Hara and Skadi on Oct 8, 2021 5:06:38 GMT
No surprise that Skadi would merely nod in acknowledgement towards Qhawe's words before she'd follow the whips, as he commanded. With Nob working on reprogramming the Commandramon bots to face the intruders instead, it'd only be right for her to make her way over to the fight going on at the tail end of the factory. Yet, Scarab's words, and actions, still remained burned within her head. Calling.
Calling.
What did he mean by that?
The next few minutes would somehow feel like a blur, yet at the same time, felt like the longest few minutes of his own life. Kenny's eyes would widen in sheer shock and alarm as the info on Aleh emerged from his device, almost like it was warning him to stay back from her, "...w-what the hell? She's practically invincible..." Dread tinged from his voice as his mind processed the sheer levels of threat this Dark Tyrannomon brought to the table in the first place. Nobody could really blame Hisato for sounding so upset in the first place. "Bruga, I-" By the time he turned to face Bruga to warn her of Aleh's many frightening techniques, she had already... ran off? Disappeared? Right in the middle of what could be the fight of her life? A quick scan around the room would tell him she was nowhere to be seen. And by the time his mind managed to register that, Aleh had now gone in for a mad dash towards Nob, with the latter being forced to toss something towards them. Kenny would stand behind Hisato, ready to try and grab the thing had he failed to grab it himself. A little bit of backup was important. As Caine unleased the massive crystal prison onto Aleh, Skadi would arrive on the scene, her blades already drawn and ready to face the massive creature, "Sorry I'm late, but what's going on?"
"Well..." How could he put this out to her? "I, uh..." Glancing at his inventory once more, he'd shoot a glance towards Amiele and Korka, and a thought came to him; disagreements aside, they were all on the same side as each other. No point on just catching up Skadi up on all the lost information on the fight so far if the other two were going to go all ham on Aleh, without knowing if they'd even leave a dent in the first place. Surely, Kenna would understand if he took the time to relay the information she gave them just so they wouldn't fall into this massive schmuck trap of a Digimon. ...Kenna would understand, right? ... right?Screw it. Lives were on the line. "Skadi, Korka, Amiele, listen up! I have some valuable information on Aleh. Her speed increases by 100% by every one of us fighting her at the exact same time, she's invincible to all attacks that just deal damage, her abilities can only be stopped by one of her own attacks, and she can't take damage if we're all fighting her at the same time as well. If we can, we should try to either reflect her own attacks back at her, or at least focus on buffing the rest of us, if not yourself." He doubted his plea wouldn't win Amiele over so easily, but he had to try. "...well, if you put it like that..." Clenching her fists and closing her eyes, Skadi would channel the energy to will a veil of permafrost surrounding her entire body. Sure enough, patches of ice would emerge all over her body, forming a second layer of armour over her already existing knight armour. Meanwhile, one quick scrounge around his deck, and Kenny would pull out the Mirror Shield card. Bingo. "Hisato, I've the Mirror Shield card on me." He gestured towards his literal trump card, "If you want, just give me the signal, and I'll swipe it, and Caine should be able to reflect any one of Aleh's attacks back at her, sound good?" An odd gambit to be sure, but he knew he had to warn him beforehand, just to give Caine that little extra spring in his step. He prayed it'd all sink in the way it would.
Understanding Kenny's warning about what Aleh can do, Skadi instead opts to set up Frostcloak to form a set of armour around her, instead of charging headfirst into attacking the Dark Tyrannomon... for now. She also gains her first token for Buildup in this fight, bringing her attack 10%. Frostcloak (RAM Upgrade GIGA): Skadi freezes over her body to create herself an additional set of armour, giving herself additional defence from her opponents. This ability automatically bumps up all her defences up by 30%, and prevents her from being affected from any debuffs from anything the opponent may have for 3 posts. (3 post cooldown) Passives:Buildup (Passive): For every post that Skadi does not directly attack the opponent with an ability, she gains a token. This token increases her attack by 10%, up to a total count of 4 tokens. These tokens cannot be taken off by the opponent, nor can these boosts be reduced by any attacks or passives from any opponent. (For example, simply using her swords to parry the opponent or merely swinging her sword to attack will not affect Buildup. Using Dual Striker or Sliver Breaker does)
Keen Eye (Passive): Being a skilled swordswoman has it’s benefits. So that means that she gets a 1.3x boost to accuracy. This also allows her to see perfectly fine where she otherwise wouldn’t, including fog, smoke, and other weather conditions. Active Buffs/Debuffs:Buildup (+10% ATK): 1/4 active tokens Cooldowns:Frostcloak: Active Shadowclone: 1/3 Cards Used (1/7):DR-28: Wings of the Wyvern (1/2)

The 5 Idayi Cubs. Ozith Village XIII. Regarding the impact Mana and Daichi could be having on the meeting taking place in that lonely, seemingly uninteresting house of Ozith, they had decided to not shake things up for the moment. Instead, they let the negotiation progress further. When it came to that particular exchange, Virkka seemed more than willing to go straight to the point. “Listen, we couldn’t care less about the little coup you guys have going on in here.” She clarified right away. “The Durapror Manuscripts.” A pause ensued. Virkka stared at Isimbi right in the eyes as if she was waiting for some reply, whether it was verbal or physical. “As I’d figure, that name means nothing to you.” She squinted and let out a sigh. “It’s completely beyond my comprehension why God gives such powerful weapons to such ignorant beings, but let’s just say these ancient inscriptions may be the key for us to enter a certain place all Treasure Hunters search. That manuscript is hidden in this island, and I’m sure you couldn’t miss something like that.” Virkka poked her own cheek with a curious red claw. “It’s funny. Even though I know you never heard that name, I feel you know exactly what I’m talking about.” Isimbi remained silent. “Can you read them?”
The Dracomon next to the Unaba higher-up constantly looked at Virkka and then at his boss nervously. Was this exchange beyond his comprehension? “I can’t.” Isimbi answered. “Figured.” “Hehe.” Why had everything suddenly turned tenser? “We don’t care about such information. It has nothing to do with our interests. We even tried to destroy them, but…”
Virkka squinted. For a second, her expression denoted anger. “Oh my. She sighed, her expression turning into a confident one again. "You truly cannot be trusted with those, can you?” The vamp made another quick pause before seemingly changing the subject. “Why are you so interested in the scientist inside the factory? Why is he so important for Unaba?”“That is not relevant for this conversation.” Isimbi quickly answered. “Did you talk to him? Did he tell you he could read that ancient manuscript?”“Nob was his name, wasn't it? He also told me he hates Unaba to his guts.” Virkka tilted her head in a sultry manner. “Just like most of the island except for this village, right? You truly have been naughty boys, haven’t you?”“W-Wait. Are you…?” The MetalGreymon looked considerably less calmed now. “We are helping him temporarily, yes. He promised to help us decipher the manuscripts once we take him to them, and we protect him and his Ultimate Brachimon from your annoying warriors.” The LadyDevimon admitted with a leisure tone. “But we are aware you guys are greater in numbers and... significantly stronger. Since we really have no intentions of starting a war against a whole village, we can leave you undisturbed if you handle the manuscripts and a way to decipher them. In exchange, we can give you the scientist and even provide protection, in the event of more… undesired visitors appear on the island.”Another pause. Meanwhile, next to Daichi, Ina started clenching her teeth, holding a tight fist. “S-She wants to betray Professor Nob?” The Monodramon muttered. Then, she dubiously looked away when being met by Daichi’s proposal. She tried to speak but timidly stuttered. “I… I…” Her golden eyes went down to the conversation taking place, specifically to Virkka. Then, back to Daichi. The Monodramon seemed to be in a major internal conflict. Could she really afford to lose the information being told here? “That… bitch…” After some shorts second of debating it with herself… "God damn it!" She managed. Then, her expression changed into a determined one. The Monodramon shook Daichi’s hand with her claw, giving him a reassuring nod. “I’m counting on you!” Although everything had happened so fast, it seemed that Ina’s mind had changed dramatically. This had led her to make a decision she never expected to make. The purple dragon swiftly walked with Jin towards the door Lire had just entered. “ … Is there a scientist in your crew?” Isimbi asked, finally breaking the silence down below. “Korka is the smartest digimon I've known.” Virkka answered, changing the position she was crossing her legs in. “I still don’t know what you need help with, but in case anything goes wrong with Nob, Korka will have your back.” “Then that is a deal we can accept. You get Nob out of the factory and give him to us. In case anything goes wrong with that, your scientist helps us with our... problem. In exchange, we give you the manuscripts and tell you how to read them.”
The Dracomon next to Isimbi smiled. Had they reached an agreement? Were both parts being honest about this matter, or was there something to question here? What could a potential alliance between Unaba and the Dusk Pirates mean for the mission?
It was probably impossible to find two more contrasting scenarios than what developed inside and outside the factory. Nami had managed to temporarily calm Ulak, right before getting a barrage of information about the dinosaur provided by Kenna. Ulak kept wiggling his tail in a relaxed manner, looking at the cloudy sky as it started to drizzle, and occasionally glancing at the Venusmon patting his head. Progressively, he would start flailing his tail with more strength, probably letting Nami know how long until this pacifying effect wore off. The Tyrannomon looked at the Venusmon again as she issued her question, blinking for a moment. “… That… is about to change.” He answered. Ulak seemed to be the most reserved of the two dinos, which probably meant these types of questions were better addressed at Aleh, who seemed remarkably more talkative. The water droplets falling on Ulak’s scaly skin made him blink, sort of helping him gain some grasp of reality. The illusion he was trapped in was getting significantly feebler. Nami could see the dinosaur’s tail kept moving more and more aggressively as this short-lived exchange progressed. By the time he had finished answering, Ulak’s tail was already causing cracks on the floor below with the way it moved, almost as if it was the only part of his body trying to break him free from the illusion. Slowly, the gist of a smile on his face started disappearing and the Unaba higher-up began to slowly stand up. Ultimate Brachimon XIII. The multiple factions colliding inside the factory could probably agree on one thing: This was a colossal disaster. By the time Kenny and Hisato reacted to the info Kenna had passed… the scientist gave no answer. The inventory had stopped glowing yellow. She was simply not in the line anymore, for some reason. Despite this, they did get some more information from the inventory, materialized in front of them as a hologram. It seemed like it was more data on Korka. “Korka is also known for being particularly good at illusions. He’s capable of creating visages of entire scenarios or living beings that look and sound extremely realistic in order to deceive his opponents.”
It was likely the further input about the devil was welcomed, but… there was still no sign from Kenna at the other side of the line yet. The smoke deployed from Skadi’s clones had, for some brief seconds, covered the entirety of the exchange between Amelie, Korka, Nob, and Aleh, leaving the group without seeing exactly what had happened there. As the smoke started dissipating, they would be able to properly see the Dark Tyrannomon seemed to have suffered no damage. Immediately, Aleh impaled a shocked Amelie with one of her claws, breaking her in half. The body of the Mermaimon would simply become a watery substance, just like when Bruga had attacked her earlier, and dissolved into the floor. Amelie would reappear, emerging from the same watery substance, some meters away from the dinosaur, just as Caine’s Primal Orb would materialize encaging Aleh, taking advantage of her short distraction when fighting the mermaid. “Huh?” She blinked again, looking at the prison created around her. “Can you stop… throwing weird shit at me!?” The DarkTyrannomon began flailing, trying to get out of the cage. Korka’s right arm was glowing, as if he had just used a technique, different from the one he had used when deploying those runes for Amelie to strike. Guided by Qhawe’s wisps, Qhawe and Skadi would swiftly move through the hallways, as the fire warrior tried to keep the chasing robots behind them, firing as much as he could. By the time they reached the last room, where the battle was unfolding, the Fladramon was absolutely exhausted, unable to keep shooting any more fire bullets. “What the…!?” Korka asked stunned while turning his head in Kenny’s direction, aghast at the kit of abilities the human had just described. Naturally, it was utterly impossible to relay this info to Korka and Amelie without the enemy itself listening to it. “How do you…?” Aleh stopped flailing for a second to blink and tilt her head. A childish and curious expression on her face, right before that psychopathic smile appeared again “So you know some of my tricks….” She muttered. “Let’s see if you know… this one?” Her voice broke at the end, as she started laughing still trapped inside the cage. The air in the room got significantly colder, it felt as if gravity had increased, and dark, pink energy, started burning around the Dark Tyrannomon’s body. She was preparing something. “Amelie. We need to go!” Korka exclaimed. “I have no fucking clue of what this thing is, but if what the human boy is saying is true…!” “Go?” Amelie slowly reincorporated, facing the monster. “This is just getting started!”The group’s previous reactions started giving some results. Hisato had managed to catch the device thrown by Nob earlier. It was a pyramidal-shaped metallic item, that looked like it could be inserted somewhere. Eventually, and among such chaos, the group would notice something positive. The Commandramons that had reached the room chasing Qhawe and Skadi, were not attacking them anymore. Instead? They were marching towards Aleh. “Reprogramming…. Completed?”
“Three major tribes inhabit Idayi. Unaba of Strenght. Hlonipha of Love. Idimoni of Courage. Those who want to be the very very strongest, even if they were born in another of the three, dream about becoming members of Idimoni, in order to be the heroes of Idayi.”
Gyo and Scarab, still trapped in this mysterious plane that offered a view of the island from its heights, could continue observing the scene developing in front of them. Although this younger, sobbing version of Bruga had not disappeared, a new scene had started materializing within a strange fog that showed at her side. All of the events they would witness were shown from the Kotemon’s perspective as if they were observing her memories. The setting for this particular one was a forest, not too different from where they had met Bruga some hours ago in the real world. Bruga was there too, although this time a more-than-lively group of Unaba’s inhabitants accompanied her. A Huckmon, a Yuki Agumon, a Monodramon, a familiar Agumon Hakase, and Bruga herself composed the squad of five, who walked together as friends. The group strolled through the forest, in a time that certainly seemed significantly more peaceful than the moments Idayi was currently going through. “Eh, Bruga!” Bon, whose voice also sounded slightly more high-pitched, denoting this was a younger version of him, gave the Kotemon a pat on her back. “I can’t believe you already dominate the Hlonipha Double Step perfectly! That’s one of the most amazing techniques of our tribe right there!” The Agumon noted, right before his expression changed to an embarrassed one. “I still have not even developed a proper combat style.”“Don’t sell yourself short, Bon.” The Monodramon had a young, perhaps female voice. “You’re Kenna’s right hand. You already help your tribe more than enough through your scientific knowledge. Most of us don’t know anything about science!”“Ina’s right. To me, it’s just a bunch of complicated numbers!” The Yuki Agumon was slightly smaller than Bon, with a delicate expression and a high-pitched, soft, tone of voice. Bon, Ina and Bruga, chuckled. “Those were… the happy days.” The sobbing Bruga to a side of the scene muttered nostalgically. “And yet…” “Huh?” The Yuki Agumon the rest of the group stopped as an entourage of three marched in front of them. This other group was composed of two Veedramons wearing big, white, and red demon masks and a Fladramon (another familiar sighting for Gyo and Scarab). They all looked remarkably imposing and serious, although the fire warrior had a more relaxed, even bored expression. “I-It’s the Idimoni Clan!” Bon exclaimed. His eyes glowed with admiration. The rest of the group, except for Bruga, also stared as the trio walked, with facial expressions that varied between respect and idolatry. “One thing’s for sure! It doesn’t matter how hard we try, we’ll never be as good as the Idimoni. The heroes of our island!” The Yuki Agumon remarked with a smile. “Tsk…” “Watch your words, Iqhwa.” The Huckmon spoke for the first time. His tone of voice was serious, although caring. “Huh?” Iqhwa blinked and turned her head towards the red-hooded dragon. “B-Brother…?” She muttered, a bit confused at the reprimand from his older sibling. The Huckmon’s eyes glanced at Bruga for a second, giving his sister a sign. “Some of us might be okay with living a tranquil life without any specific aspiration, even if we belong to Unaba. But Bruga has always dreamt about becoming an Idimoni. She works hard to be a strong warrior.”The Yuki Agumon’s eyes widened. Bon and Ina stared in silence, lowering their heads. “B-Bruga… I…”
The Kotemon had a fist clenched tight, her head facing to the ground. “Eh. Eh. Bruga!” Ina mustered a smile and walked towards her friend. “That one right there was your brother, Qhawe, right? He was from Hlonipha just like you and Bon, and yet he managed to become an Idomini, some say he’s so talented he's set to becoming the hero of the island!”“DON’T COMPARE US, INA!” Bruga yelled, lifting her head aggressively. The Monodramon’s eyes widened. The Kotemon recoiled regretfully. “… H-He… doesn’t work hard at all. He’s always sleeping and eating, goofing around. Why does he have to be better than me!? He was just born with a talent for fighting. I train very hard, I take care of what I eat, I read about new techniques all day, and yet I’m barely an average level warrior! How is that fair!? How can he be called a hero!? A bush-league hero is what he is!”“I-I’m sorry…” Ina managed. “Y-Yes. I’m sorry too, Bruga.” Iqhwa added. “N-No… I…” The Kotemon shook her head and sighed. “I didn’t mean to…”The memory vanished, while Bruga kept sobbing. “Even in those… happy days. I still lived frustrated. I still couldn’t… accept that he was better than me. And then… the incident happened.”
To the left of this younger version of Bruga, the fog started materializing again, and a new scene started emerging. Mysterious Ship XIII. The resilience put by Sasha’s body by waking up and the assistance of this mysterious figure pulling her up would collaborate for the Russian lady to start arising, even if slowly. The pressure of the water, given the depth she had reached, was making it progressively harder for her to move in this environment. However, with every nerve in her body finally reacting, she was slowly able to put more strength into each of her movements. She could feel the energy put in her strokes increasing, just as this figure above her kept putting all of their strengths in pulling her, while moving their legs too in order to go up. The seemingly endless water corridor that separated them from the surface started becoming shorter, until the outer light covered her sight entirely, and she could feel the sweet air reaching her lungs, water trying to come out. It wasn’t done until they reached the shore, which luckily wasn’t too far away. She hadn’t found a sunny day at all, the sky was cloudy and water droplets splashed in the water around her and impacted her white skin. If Sasha managed to reach the shore and lay on the sand, she would feel the immediate need to start coughing out water. She could hear the person who had saved her doing the same. Once she got this out of her system and reincorporated, Sasha would finally be able to see who had aided her. Of course, it was Kenna. The girl was on the sand, in a crawling position, coughing. Her purple hair was soaked, having lost its puffy nature. Her lab coat and clothes were equally soaked, and she had left her shoes to the side. After some seconds, she started reincorporating, picking her glasses from next to her in the sand. “A-Are you… okay?” She managed, still coughing a little. She took some shaky steps towards the blonde girl and let he rear fall on the sand, breathing heavily. They had been extremely close to drowning. The scientist looked at the cloudy sky, trying to recover strength. “Shadow… Pathfinder.” She managed. “If I had to make some assumptions based on evidence.” Uh, oh. Smart girl time. “I think it lets you travel to dark places you have seen before and that you can remember.” She explained. “It is possible my voice cheering you for that last attempt made you think of the laboratory in the last second, so it took you there. Then, it took you to the second place you thought of, back to the ship. Maybe it wasn’t perfect because you still don’t have full control of this power but… it got you close enough.” The purple-haired girl glanced to her right. It was the Dusk Pirates’ ship. They were in Binagi Shore, where Sasha and Bon had started their mission. “The most amazing part is that… apparently it is capable of teleporting the people touching you too, even if they don’t have that power.” A hug had never cost so much, then. For better or worse, Kenna was now in Idayi too. And speaking of Bon... “HERE...
I...
GO...!” The Agumon’s voice echoed throughout Binagi Shore. Kenna immediately raised her head, looking up at the ship’s deck. “BON!” A smile lightened up Kenna’s face. The Agumon stepped on the railing to propel himself forward, taking a massive leap off the ship and flying towards the shore. Behind him? An immense cloud of the same smoke that was filling the captain’s room earlier. Jutted through the smoke, Bruyne the Shammamon’s appeared too, jumping behind the dinosaur. “COME HERE!”
Of course, it was still not over. It's 10:21 am! It's drizzling over Idayi Island. The rain is about to intensify.
Caine's Seer gave him some information!
-Caine can feel the desperate shout of two items within the factory, calling for Gyo and Scarab. He feels these items vibrate and knows they had taken Gyo, Scarab, and Bruga somewhere. They no longer occupy this plane.
-Caine can feel a third presence going to the factory. The amount of energy it emanates starts becoming terrifying. It's getting closer.

An infructuous endeavor, it seemed. Nami let out a sigh, her hand lifting from Ulak’s snout as she took some steps to distance herself from the Tyranomon, all while wisps of black smoke began to form around her body.
“Inquire. Is it really necessary to engage in battle? There are other ways we could resolve this issue that don’t involve it.” Was that something feasible, even? Ulak didn’t seem like the type placed a lot of value on conversation, but at least he didn’t seem to be the raving-mad fighter that his sister sounded to be.
The fact that it was beginning to drizzle didn’t change the Venusmon’s steps in the slightest. Soon enough, the manifested wisps merged with her body, prompting the goddess to suddenly change her form into something far greater than her current form.
A cat. Nami’s Meicoomon form made itself present again. It was funny, but given the new information received, this seemed like the most optimal way to handle the Tyranomon; a sobering thought, no doubt. “Proposal. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather keep on holding a conversation with me? I’d wager that’s a fair bit more pleasant than the alternative.”
Potentially futile? Absolutely, but this was a matter of buying as much time as possible, wasn’t it? Might as well resort to every trick in the book. Mana’s situation was a bit on the dicey side, but it was also something she got the hang of rather fast. The Isimbi guy apparently needed the pirates for whatever he wanted to do; otherwise he wouldn’t have tolerated the blatant disrespect that Virkka spat every other word. And, on the other side, the LadyDevimon definitely felt like she had the upper hand in this fight with words. She didn’t miss a beat on every chance she had of disrespecting or demeaning the aging MetalGreymon.
Nevertheless, it seemed like the two could still reach a mutually-beneficial agreement, even though. How obvious was that the two were looking to double-cross the other? Fairly; from their respective places, it seemed like neither was too keen on collaborating with one another, and chances were that they’d uphold their end of the bargain up to the point it was absolutely necessary, reap any potential rewards it could have and then bail from further situations involving the other group.
There were two main doubts floating around, though. What exactly were the so-called ‘Durapror Manuscripts’ that Virkka was after, and why did the Unaba so desperately need a scientist? Both groups held their secrets close to their chests, and it was probably in their best interests to do so; it was probably key to any future attempt at double crossing for those to be kept secret.
In short? The situation was ripe for any kind of incisive comment to further exacerbate the tensions between both groups, yet it was quite likely that the Meicoomon couldn’t get away with being as disrespectful as Virkka was being, or to put in doubt how well-intentioned the pirates were. What could she say about the situation to stall for time, and further strain this tentative non-alliance? Despite the obvious contradiction of knowledge Isimbi displayed regarding his ability to read these writings, an idea sprang to her mind right away.
“Would we be able to take a look at the manuscripts before confirming the deal?” A seemingly-innocent question, but this was meant to both ensure the Unaba actually owned what they said they did, and also an attempt to buy time. If they refused to show them, chances were they were fairly untrustworthy to begin with. And if they did, maybe Kenna would be able to provide some information regarding them and why they were so important. It sounded like a win no matter the outcome.

The group kept listenint to the meeting on the floor below and it would be a lie to say that Daichi caught anything that it was being said but he made sure to keep track of it and using the inventory to write everything up, from the name of the scientist to the manuscripts that the pirates wanted hopefully this would prove to Ina that leaving Daichi here was the right call as at least he wouldn't lose a single bit of information.
When the captain of the pirates implied the idea of selling out the scientist since Unaba was stronger and numbers and all even going as far as to say that they will provide protection in case of more "undesired visitors" arrived Daichi could only frown and clench his fist sharing the same emotion as Ina, it shouldn't be surprising coming from a pirate but at the same time not only was giving up on the scientist but also spelling out that there was more people here and they wouldn't doubt on going after them, meaning that whatever bond of trust between was between Ina and Lire it most likely break soon making things even more troublesome for them.
"Don't worry I'll make sure to gather all the information, you do what you have to save the captive digimon, once we rescue them we'll figure out the next step" Said Daichi shaking the hand of Ina
As the Monodramon and Igamon left the teen focus his sights again on the group below trying to think and see the full picture here, he doesn't' know how much Mana has told the captain about their mission for all he knows the cat could've said that they were an independent group rather than working for someone which would make him and the others the ace under their sleeve, on the other hand he expect that the Meicoomon won't let this alliance to happen right in front of her eyes as it clearly will add a greater obstacle on their way, fortunately it seemed that Mana was buying time for them now asking to see said manuscripts.
"What are you thinking Sensei?" Han ask dropping to the ground next to Daichi so he wouldn't be easilty spotted to
"That this pirates spell problems for us" He made a small pause never letting his eyes leave the reunion "Thinking about it they will be our enemies, Ina won't trust them anymore if the sell out the scientist and even if she does Lire will talk with her captain about the stolen thing, we have a big target on our heads..."
"Well, let's trust in Ina and Jin, if they help the captives we will get the numbers advantage thanks to the other tribes, right?"
Daichi not wanting to make anymore noise than necesary simply nodded and give the monkey a thumbs up, Han was right if things go their way right now they'll have an advantage they currently lack and knowing that was filling him up with confidence! As long as Ina doesn't confront Lire about what the LadyDevimon said and manage to remain on the same page they've won it's impossible to fail at their current task.

Post by Hisato and Bad Company on Oct 14, 2021 23:23:40 GMT
"We need to hold her off as long as we can, realistically..." Hisato murmured. They did not know the full extent of Aleh's abilities, just the passive stuff. There were no TRUE techniques on that list they got, and that was a problem given Caine had done all he could to hamper the lizard for now! This was indeed, a disaster in several ways. "No, I'm afraid that's not how this works." Caine shrugged, before placing his hands in his pockets. He was not really sure if this next attack would have the intended effect, but...hm. Anything would likely work as diversionary tactics, especially since the amount of combatants was about to skyrocket immensely... The Beelzemon withdrew his hands...to reveal shotguns. "Want to test something for me, friend? Hold still. I doubt this will kill you, but I am curious." Where did he even pull those out? It mattered little, truth be told, as he fired a hail of scattering bullets, each seeking Aleh's core. If they hit? Uh...See the battle log, this is already a bit of a long post for the author. Moreover, Hisato noted the pyramidal device. This was likely important for something. Yet...what? "Nob, what -IS- this?" He may have been smart, but he didn't have the same level of intellect as Nob did. Caine at that moment would place himself between the boys and Aleh. If this were an attack that encompassed the room, he'd probably need to tank it head on. And that? Would likely be unpleasant. "...We really shouldn't stay for long. Someone else is coming and they're only getting closer." Caine uttered.
Each tribe of Idayi symbolized an important aspect of life. Strength, Love, Courage. As little as the brothers knew of this place, save for what they had learned throughout the day, this was insight beyond insight. As they continued on, they found the scene to have shifted towards a forest, much like the one they had inadvertently caused the flattening of by causing a 64 million ton Triceramon to fall over. Except, this was in a time before that time, was it not? A time where coexistence was had. And yet, despite these being happier days, Bruga was miserable. A Kotemon trapped in the shadow of her brother. It was odd--sympathy was felt, and even a little shred of empathy from Gyo's part. Living in the shadow of another was a sordid tale he was all too familiar with. "The incident...?" The ExVeemon uttered aloud, continuing on while there was all but silence from Scarab. The crimson dragon folded his arms. "Does being a better fighter make someone better than someone else? No, I don't think so..." The ExVeemon murmured. "More goes into it than that." Scarab finally spoke, his steps still carrying him forward. "But this is more than just a matter of what makes one 'better.' It's a matter of one's pride. You should know that. It's always been that way for us." Right? Yet, the tale continued on.
Relevant Passives: Caine Seer [Passive]: Caine...is a strange one. He's connected to a network of riddles and madness that ultimately give him knowledge he should not know. Think of this passive as a ability-based version of the Arcana Draw card. He's able to tap into this network in order to divine an answer or a hint as to a question within a mission or plot, but it's ultimately up to the DM/runner of the thread as to how clear or unclear this is. Once per thread.
The Emperor [Passive]: Caine's bullets in this form seek out that which he deems wicked, homing in upon them by his will for a 30% increase in overall accuracy.
Gluttony [Passive]: Of course, all of his attacks leech life from their quarry, and heal Caine for 5% of his overall health.
Hisato has obtained a thing. He's going to keep it in the inventory for safe keeping while he asks Nob wtf. Also, Caine used Heartbreak Shot. Have fun, Aleh! If that even works. Hey, he did say he was kind of curious about it! Heartbreak Shot: Caine fires his shotguns, the scattering bullets aiming for the heart of an enemy for severe damage. In addition to this, one passive of the opponent's choice is locked for two posts afterwards. Three post cooldown. Durations - Primal Orb: 1/1 Heartbreak Shot: Did it hit? Did it even work? Cooldowns: FoTDK: 2/3 - how did i miss that earlier Primal Orb: 1/3 Heartbreak Shot: 0/3

Post by Sasha on Oct 17, 2021 4:15:31 GMT
The ensuing endless minute or so of her life went by in a blur, not much of it registering other than how tortuous it felt. The water pushing her down, the burning in her lungs as she wished for air that she didn't have, the fact her head still hurt from bumping into the wall so much. By the time she actually made it out and back on land it was almost such a shock to her senses she struggled to not pass out there and then, practically coughing her lungs out loudly as she let herself flop on the sandy beach, small puddles of salty water coming out of her mouth with each spasm filled cough. It was both such a relief and such agony it almost made her forget there was someone next to her.
Only when she felt strong enough to roll on her back and look to the side would she be able to see...Kenna again? Had she actually just died somehow and gone to some sort of weird Heaven? As the shaky scientist asked her how she felt however did her mind slowly began to understand what was going on and how they were most likely not dead yet (unfortunately for her headache).
"B-barely." She replied weakly, coughing a bit more as she struggled to sit up, though eventually gave up and continued laying on her back for a bit longer as she focused on what the scientist was talking about. It was...hard for her to register most of it, admitedly, but she did get the general gist of it: she had managed to teleport out of the ship. Twice. And had somehow been able to bring Kenna along with her which was...far from ideal honestly. "Sorry about that." She managed to make out before her train of thought was interrupted yet again.
Though what she heard and saw was almost enough to bring her energy back and get her to stand up (though her legs were still a bit wobbly): Bon was not only still very much alive but also not looking all that worse for wear, at least at a glance! Oh how she'd hug that little scamp after how he saved her life...or at least she would have, were it not for the fact that Shamamon was following him close by, still very much intending on clobbering the poor dinosaur.
This. This was enough to get Sasha to properly stand up, practically huffing like an angered beast. She hadn't been put through such a humilliating transformation, shrunked and chased around endlessly, and most of all nearly drowned for this asshole to deny her just five seconds of rest. This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
"I'll give it to you, you're persistent." She lowly said, her hand reaching for the digivice still held on her pocket. Time to figure out if these were water proof...
"But I'm sick and tired of you, your rotten ship and your shitty crew." As she pressed on the device, a light took over her as the russian's form shifted and morphed, her petite frame replaced by a buff, stocky frame of a very angry and very green demon. "I AM DONE PLAYING SPY!" The musyamon bellowed at the top of her longs as she lunged to meet the shamamon, her sword cutting through the water on the shore as she sent a torrent of the liquid straight at her enemy.
Blades of Conquest: Musyamon's sword glows with energy, absorbing the power of whatever element the sword came in contact with, afterwhich it can be released into a powerful long range (30 feet) slash of said element. Two posts cooldown.

Post by Kenny O'Hara and Skadi on Oct 20, 2021 3:04:33 GMT
At this point, 'scrambling to salvage the situation' didn't even begin to describe the sheer anarchy going on. Kenny's eyes would shoot a glance at the Boogiemon as Korka's information materialized from his inventory. Could they get him to bait Aleh for a good while had things gone really bad? He, and Skadi, could only watch as Caine's pushback against the DarkTyrannomon continued, at which point, sharp chunks of ice coated the slim silver warrior's entire body as the icy mist started to fade away. At the very least, his words did manage to sink into Korka - and Aleh too for that matter, as the dark pink energy started to coat the massive Tyrannosaurus, as his heart started to sink into his toes. Crap. And Amiele clearly wasn't taking no for an answer, despite the massive fuck-off energy coming from Aleh. Double crap. "Amiele, didn't you hear what I said?" He practically spat out his words at her as he frantically gestured to the towering Tyrannosaurus, "If we all attack her at the same time, she's invincible and dangerous! You have any moves to at least help us out here? Y'know, to at least mitigate the big fuck-off attack she's going to use? Before she kills us all? Possibly slowly and painfully?" Harsh words coming from Kenny's mouth, but subtly be damned. He still glanced at the Mirror Shield card, then back towards Caine. Would he appreciate, nay, need the help had this massive attack come to pass? Wait, someone else? Please don't let it be Ulak, for God's sake...
As for Skadi, having stood on the sidelines and waiting for Aleh to make just the wrong move at just the right moment, would find herself glancing at the device in Hisato's hands. And then to Aleh. And then back to Hisato. No prizes for guessing why would Nob toss something like that to him. And now Hisato himself now ran the risk of being caught in the crossfire. Only thing she had to do now. A cool chill would brush against Hisato's skin as the SilverGrademon stood nearby with a knowing glance towards the young man. "I won't let anything bad happen to you." Quite the promise, and something Skadi hoped would come to pass...
In lieu of a(n named) attack (outside of Frostcloak , Skadi instead opts to protect Hisato for the time being while he himself is tasked to do... something with the MacGuffin in his hands. One thing's for sure, though, she's keeping a good eye on Aleh...She also gains her second token for Buildup in this fight, bringing her attack 20%. Frostcloak (RAM Upgrade GIGA): Skadi freezes over her body to create herself an additional set of armour, giving herself additional defence from her opponents. This ability automatically bumps up all her defences up by 30%, and prevents her from being affected from any debuffs from anything the opponent may have for 3 posts. (3 post cooldown) Passives:Buildup (Passive): For every post that Skadi does not directly attack the opponent with an ability, she gains a token. This token increases her attack by 10%, up to a total count of 4 tokens. These tokens cannot be taken off by the opponent, nor can these boosts be reduced by any attacks or passives from any opponent. (For example, simply using her swords to parry the opponent or merely swinging her sword to attack will not affect Buildup. Using Dual Striker or Sliver Breaker does)
Keen Eye (Passive): Being a skilled swordswoman has it’s benefits. So that means that she gets a 1.3x boost to accuracy. This also allows her to see perfectly fine where she otherwise wouldn’t, including fog, smoke, and other weather conditions. Active Buffs/Debuffs:Buildup (+10% ATK): 2/4 active tokens Cooldowns:Frostcloak: Active Shadowclone: 2/3 Cards Used (1/7):DR-28: Wings of the Wyvern (1/2)

Living with the enemy. Ozith Village XIV. While the two parts seemed to have an alliance in the making, the variables that concerned this particular development were not scarce. Although not widely, the reunion had exposed the interests of the Dusk Pirates and Unaba, even if they both had not gone into any detail. It was obvious this information was extremely important, and a lot more than what they had before attending the reunion. However, Mana and Daichi also seemed to understand how important it was to stall the pact being built, looking to extend their temporary victory even further. Of course, the Meicoomon had the most complicated role in this scenario, sharing the same room of the two potential enemies. As soon as Mana asked about the manuscripts, Virkka’s eyes went towards the cat and then back to Isimbi. “Hehe…” “You should teach your subordinates to not interfere in important matters while you talk.” Isimbi declared with parsimony. The Dracomon to his side gulped. The MetalGreymon looked at the Meicoomon with predatory eyes. Virkka changed the way she was crossing her legs again, her eyes turning sharp. She remained quiet for a second or two before speaking again. “Wait… I think she’s got a point.” The vamp admitted while looking at Mana for a second again and smiling. “You did say you tried to destroy them, didn’t you? I want to see them first. Just to make sure you didn’t.” After a pause, she added something else. “Also, now that we’re at it… I would like you to show us that you have someone that can actually read them, in case anything goes wrong with Nob.”The MetalGreymon sighed. “Then I would like to meet this scientist in your crew, and make sure he can help us with our… issues. Just in case Nob cannot help us for any reason.”“Korka and Nob are together right now inside the factory. Just tell me where the manuscripts are and he’ll take him there.” Virkka suggested. “Of course, you would need to order your warriors to let him and the rest of our crew escape from there. I think the place is a warzone right now.”This statement was met with more silence. “Unless… those two don’t listen to orders, that is.” The LadyDevimon smirked amused. The Dracomon next to Isimbi gulped again. “We’ll send someone to deliver the order of not attacking your crew to them. However… it is likely we cannot stop them at this point or that said order will not arrive on time.” Isimbi admitted. “If your people manage to get out of the factory alive and with the scientist, we will meet…. Here.” The gigantic dinosaur looked to his subordinate. The Dracomon immediately jolted towards one of the tables in the room, took a chart, and ran towards the LadyDevymon, showing her a map of the island and pointing at its center. “That’s where our laboratory is located. If you bring this scientist in your crew and Nob there, we will show you the manuscripts.” “’If your people manage to get out?’” Virkka looked at the map, while the Hagurumon next to her seemed to scan it thoroughly. Then, she replicated Isimbi’s words. “That does not sound like we have a very solid alliance, does it?” She wondered. “The way I see it, you’re proposing we delay our alliance up to the very moment of our exchange. That means you do not have the Manuscripts here with you. Instead, they are located in that laboratory you mention.”Isimbi remained quiet upon Virkka’s perspicacity while the Dracomon took the map back to the table. Then, he finally spoke again. “Our... alliance can be temporary. The rest of our warriors will cease fire and we can help each other until we meet at the laboratory.” Virkka quirked an eyebrow and caressed her hair with one of her long, red claws. “The rest of your warriors, but not the pair we're dealing with now. It doesn’t sound like you really trust those two in the factory…” She muttered. “… Are the strongest warriors of Unaba a double edge sword against themselves? Do they even follow any orders?” That mockery smirk was drawn on her lips again. “Were you that desperate to get the scientist that you sent those two to the factory, knowing the problem they represent for your own interests?” What apparently sounded like a bunch of questions that would meet no answer, was actually Virkka's exposing she was well aware of Unaba's weaknesses. "I'm starting to have doubts about this deal. I came here because I figured it would be easier to work with the strongest faction in Idayi but... your offer is starting to look like a strainer, I-Sim-Bi ~"After finishing this sentence, and while Isimbi kept quiet, Virkka glanced at Mana. Apparently, her input on this had gained some relevance for the vamp after that last contribution.
After crossing the door, Jin and Ina would be met by another long set of stairs going down, similar to the ones they had just run up to arrive at this mysterious house where the meeting was being held. The way down was murky and lonely as well, so there was not much to write home about when going through it. Eventually, once the stairs ended, the duo would reach a dark, abandoned hallway. At the end of it, a metallic door. This place was significantly creepier than the warehouse they were at earlier, even if it was slightly better illuminated. Once they crossed that last door, they would find themselves in a hangar. The scarce lights located throughout the chamber allowed them to see certain areas of its content. Multiple metallic cages were deployed around it, barely allowing them to see the shades of some digimon inside these. The sizes of these were as diverse as the species of dinosaur, draconic and reptile digimon one could find in Idayi. The enormous size of the hangar allowed for some of these to be as big as a Brachimon or as small as a Gabumon. “This is it.” The Monodramon muttered before swiftly making her way towards these cages, exploring the content of them. Although at first most of these seemed to be sleeping, Jin would eventually hear some voices of startled digimon noticing there was someone there. “Huh?” “What is that?” “A Monodramon?” “W-Wait! Was that Ina!?” “Impossible! Ina is...!”
As soon as these voices started reaching her, Ina took some steps back towards the darkness, trying to stay out of sight again. Walking back in her tracks, she’d bump into Jin. Her yellow eyes would glance at the ninja, her expression being more dubitative and terrified than ever. It seemed like a sensation of fear had overcome her as soon as she faced the chance of meeting her trapped, fellow dinosaurs. Why? She took a seat on the dark, murky floor, feeling frightened. Could Jin somehow talk to her? Did he have some type of information about this matter that could bring further clarity to it? How good was the Ninja's memory? Ultimate Brachimon XIV. As the effect of the Venusmon’s touch started wearing off, Ulak began reincorporating, standing up and going back to that menacing, imposing stance the Tyrannomon bestowed previously. His tail previously wiggling in an aggressive manner started settling down. The dinosaur blinked multiple times, as every drop of that drizzle helped him regain some sense of reality. Suddenly, his passive, calm expression was gone, and his eyes turned sharp as razors. Immediately, this cold stare was directed at the Meicoomon, who was barely going back to this cat form. “What the… hell was that?” A part of the scarlet dinosaur looked quite impressed at the technique cast on him. “Issue?” The Tyrannomon asked, his eyes fixed on the cat. “What are you, even? Where did you come from?” He inquired further, clearly noticing this digimon did not belong to the island, simply judging by its not-prehistoric nature. “Why would I want to talk to you? What are you doing here?” Ulak seemed significantly confused. It seemed that, although less talkative, the dinosaur was also slightly less violent than his sister, who would have probably attacked at first sight. The whole situation had clearly thrown the Unaba member off. Suddenly, and just as Ulak locked his eyes on the cat, Mana would feel the pressure around her increasing, the temperature went down abruptly and the earth seemed to be pushing her body down with greater strength, representing a significant increase in gravity force and a difficulty to move freely. It was almost as if the dinosaur was forcing her to stay right where she was, all while he demanded for answers. For a second, his concentration broke when he noticed the breach he had opened for Aleh in the force field had disappeared. “Damn it…” He muttered. A metallic noise coming from the gigantic monster behind Mana and not too far at all from them, would echo around the clear where the factory was located and through the whole forest. The sound of the gears within the creature moving as he prepared to attack were expectable from such a massive being making a movement. Ulak’s eyes went to the titanic creature dangerously close to them, or at least to how much of it he could see from down there. The Tyrannomon’s worries about the course of action Ultimate Brachimon could take were quickly confirmed by the monster issuing a roar and making the ground shake. From the sky, a barrage of missiles started descending towards the factory, crossing the force field and going to the very back of it. “Sh--!” Now minding little about the Meicoomon, Ulak quickly jumped towards the force field and tried to open a new breach in it with its bare claws, a task that looked painful from Mana's position. As soon as he managed, he got his mouth inside and yelled. “ALEH! GET THE SCIENTIST AND LET’S GET OUT OF HERE. NOW.”
If anyone had their favorite battle theme soundtrack at hand, it was probably the time to hit that play button. The proportions of how things had escalated and the possibility of negotiation narrowing down only left way to multiple events befalling one after the other. The sheer energy issued by Aleh kept manifesting in a progressively more aggressive manner, causing the whole room to shake as the temperature kept dropping quickly and the pressure increased. Amelie and Korka, who somehow could feel the energy being issued by this monster, just stared as they saw Caine step forward. Multiple Commandramon went by the Belzeebumon, approaching Aleh with knifes out. Some other decided to stay back and shoot. They were applying the same combat strategy they had executed against the pair who had stayed at the factory’s entrance earlier. They didn’t know any other way. “She can't take damage if we're all fighting her at the same time…” Korka muttered, his eyes going towards the Commandramon squad being pushed away by the Dark Tyrannomon’s energy aura. “Huh?” Amelie yanked her trident into the floor to keep balance as the whole place kept shaking. “It won’t work.” Korka noted. And it didn’t. Caine’s bullets bounced over the surface of the Unaba higher up as if they were dodge balls. Aleh looked completely unscathed by these. “Shut up, kid! I’m thinking!” Amelie shouted Kenny’s way after being addressed by the human. The treasure's hunter eyes seemed to be scanning the whole scenario, Aleh, Caine, and all of the elements around it. “Korka! If I isolate her…” She muttered right after that. “Don’t be stupid! We need to get the scientist and get out! What the hell are you trying to prove!?” “But that’s not fuuuun, Korka! I want to play with big dino!” Amelie declared in a playful tone. “ALEH! GET THE SCIENTIST AND LET’S GET OUT OF HERE. NOW.”
A harsh, male-like voice reached the insides of the room. The shout seemed to have come from outside the factory, although projected with enough energy to deliver the message. Aleh’s focus broke for a second, her eyes going up when hearing this. Right after that? Disaster. The Dark Tyrannomon shot a burst of energy that traveled mighty fast towards Caine, the first element shielding the rest of the group. The dark green ray of heat disintegrated the floor below it and travelled like a bullet towards the Belzebumon. Although at first it was wide, it would become narrow and focus on a single frame as soon as it hit the first target, burning and scorching with sheer power. By simply hitting dead on, it would increase the intensity of the start of an earthquake it had caused when being charged up, the room around them starting to crumble. Whoever was able to keep an eye on Aleh after such a massive attack would see her immediately dashing towards the back of the room with stunning speed. Nob was there and the next second he wasn’t. Then? The Dark Tyrannomon jolted in a quick jump through the hole she had made in the roof. “How did she…!?” “So fast…!”
Hisato, Kenny and their partners would see the shade of a giant boulder about to crush them, caused by the sudden collapse of the room. Bolts of fire would pulverize this massive object, saving the humans' partners the effort of protecting the humans below. Qhawe would immediately jump to prevent another pillar from falling over the group. “She’s got Nob! Stop her, please!” The Fladramon shouted, the tone of his voice showing both exhaustion from the chase earlier and desperation due to the chaotic nature of the situation. How to stop an unstoppable force?
In a less agitated but definitely not less emotionally straining setting, Gyo and Skarab observed Idayi’s story develop in front of them, through Bruga’s eyes. The mist that would show them the last part of this tale would keep materializing next to the sobbing Kotemon. “If I were… stronger… I could have done something… that day.” This version of Bruga, young and heartbroken, kept providing context about what they were about to see. “Since its creation, Idayi is known for the dangerous nature of the island. The climatic conditions make it a very unstable environment and the weather can cause catastrophic results.
At the time, it had been raining for almost a whole month, with the difficulties all of that represented to all of the villages. Then, an unexpected earthquake with its epicenter far from the island, into the deep sea, caused a set of massive waves to crash into our southeast shore. Each of these was bigger and more destructive than the last one. It was like massive tsunamis striking the island one after the other. The most affected village was Ozith, home of the Unaba Tribe, since that’s the village located the closest to that shore. It was, by far, the most destructive natural phenomena Idayi had ever dealt with."Once again, seeing everything from Bruga’s perspective, Gyo and Scarab could start observing something forming within the mist. This time, it was showing them some type of old village. Two tall, sturdy Dinohumon struggled to contain Bruga, who desperately tried to break free. “Let... me... go! I need to … help them!!” “Enough, Bruga!” One of the draconic warriors threw her to the floor violently. “The Idimoni clan has been sent to control the situation already! We have clear orders of not letting anyone from the other clans in there! There’s nothing you or anyone from Hlonipha can do.” “But…!”“Luckily, Mrs. Kenna has prepared the island for these types of situations. We need to trust the hazard will be controlled in a matter of hours and that she and the Idimoni clan will make sure everyone in Ozith end up unscathed.”“No! You don’t understand! My friends are in there!” Bruga pushed forward again, once again being held by the Dinohumon not letting her advance. “Ina, Iqhwa, Yamuk...!” The Kotemon kept trying to fight the pair, in a futile attempt to break free. “Bon is working hard and helping Kenna! I need to go too!” “We cannot let you! Your brother Qhawe is already there as a member of the Idimoni, so please, support him from here!”
Suddenly, Bruga stopped thrashing. Her eyes opened up wide. “My… brother…” She muttered, dead still. "Of course he gets to be there..." The Dinohoumon finally stepped back. The fog showing Gyo and Scarab this scene started swirling, changing the setting into a new one. A murky room, dimly illuminated by the sunset in the distance. Bruga stormed into the den, kicking the door. Tears gushed down her eyes beneath her mask. “QHAWE!” She yelled. At the other side of the room, the Fladramon stood, giving his back to his sister. “What is this thing about four victims in the Ozith Village incident!? It’s just a sick joke, isn’t it!?”This sentence was met with silence. “ISN’T IT!? QHAWE. ANSWER NOW.” “Kenna will give out the news in the next hours. Four members of Unaba…” “YOU’RE LYING.” Bruga yelled over Qhawe’s voice, starting to cry loudly again. “They can’t be…”The silence engulfing the room was only broken by Bruga’s weeping. The other Bruga, the one occupying the same space that Gyo and Scarab shared, started crying too. “I’m sorry. We did everything we could but… Ina the Monodramon and Iqhwa the Yuki Agumon…” Qhawe managed with a regretful tone of voice. “… They managed to bypass our officers and got into the flood area to aid others. Thanks to their help the number of victims was reduced significantly, but…”“YOU LET THEM DIE!?” A thick, dark fog, started materializing around Bruga (both over the one in the memory they were watching and the sobbing one sitting next to the scene playing), taking the shape of a massive, bone dinosaur that stood above the Kotemon as she kept crying desperately. “I was right about you… You’re not a savior. No. You’re not even my brother. You’re just… a Bush-league Hero.”The mist showing them this scene disappeared, leaving a sobbing Bruga sitting on the floor, a gigantic, monstrous skeleton figure standing above her. The nature of the monster was strange. It seemed to be made of this thick, fog, way darker than the one showing them Bruga’s memories before. At the center of the figure, Scarab and Gyo could spot two shiny, egg-like items, and… another version of Bruga, kind of floating in this dark mass of energy and fast asleep. The real Bruga they had met, perhaps. Not any past version of her. Below this bony monster, the young Bruga kept weeping. “If I were… stronger… I could have been there and saved my friends. I could have done better than that… Bush-League hero! And… yet…” As she kept talking, the ancient, atrocious figure over her seemed to be materializing. “… He has always been ahead of me. Taking all of the recognition. Getting the chance to be the hero. I was never good enough… and… because of that… Ina and Iqhwa…”
Fueled by these feelings of regret, the creature above her kept growing and becoming more real. “… And now… I couldn’t stop Amelie and save Nob. I haven’t changed. It doesn’t matter how hard I work… that never translates into recognition… or success…”
The mystical barrier separating Gyo and Scarab from this Bruga had disappeared too. There was nothing between them and the sobbing Kotemon now. She turned her head as she noticed their presence but… turned away and kept crying. Mysterious Ship XIV. Admittedly, Kenna’s eyes widened a little when being met by Sasha’s apologies. She showed a dim smile and just shook her head. “Don’t worry about that. I’m relieved that you’re okay.” She reaffirmed, tightening up a fist. This adorable moment had been interrupted by a lovely and a not-so-lovely surprise. The showing-up of Bon and Bruyne, respectively. It was to be expected their hassle in this ship was not over, considering how strong the Dusk Pirates seemed to be. However, if anything, at least they were now out of the vessel, which probably reduced significantly the shenanigans the crew could pull on them. It was clear Kenna was not expecting Sasha to transform immediately in order to help Bon. However, it was not less real that the amount of energy this particular transformation had released was higher than what one would expect. Describing it was easy. As a tired and angry Sasha attempted to digivolve using her digivice, she would notice some type of impediment in the environment, basically her body feeling heavy and, the evolutionary energy around her trying to hold her back instead of aiding her to transform. Of course, the fact she still had those funny mopes around her extremities and the long wings, showed she was still not done with her bee phase, which probably caused some type of interference when trying to turn into an ancient samurai, right? Luckily, despite these constraints, the evolution managed to take place, even if at the cost of releasing an expansive wave of energy, kind of as if she had broken a seal trying to stop her. The expansive burst of energy knocked Kenna back and down on her rear. The scientist stared at the Musyamon completely stunned. “She… turned into a digimon!?” That was something the girl was certainly not expecting. When the sequence finished, Bon had already fallen into the water, while Bruyne was still mid-air, his cub lifted above him, ready to strike. It was at that point when Samurai-Bee Sasha managed to strike dead on with a slash of water, making the Shammamon crash against his own ship and fall down to the water. As droplets of water splashed in front of her eyes, Kenna observed delighted. “A-Amazing!” She squealed. “Huh?” The scientist blinked when seeing the Musyamon’s frame flicker for some seconds. Sasha could probably feel this, too. Her Musyamon form felt extremely unstable, almost as if the transformation was going to vanish at any moment. Something deep within her was fighting against something else very deep within her too. Kind of like two energy sources trying to occupy the same body and that could most certainly not coexist within the same host for long. She could feel… that LadyDevimon living within her. The darkness. Everything the Dusk Pirates represented. That same energy living within her she would see materialized in front of her eyes, as a Fugamon was jutted from the sea, flying over the waterline and threatening to land a brutal strike with his cub. Bruyne’s eyes were glowing with a brutal thirst for killing. The energy it issued was exactly the same the blonde could feel living inside of her. Sasha was fighting a part of her, both literally and metaphorically. The Dusk Pirates were both the foe and the visitor. It's 10:25 am. It's drizzling over Idayi Island. The rain is about to intensify.
Caine's Seer gave him some information!
-Caine can still feel a third presence going to the factory. Is it... slowly strolling? The amount of energy it emanates starts becoming terrifying. It's getting closer.
The inventory has gotten some new information on the fights taking place.
Aleh:
-Aleh reduced the damage from Heartbreak Shot to zero thanks to There's Strenght in Numbers. -Aleh's Unaba Higher Up protects her passives from being affected! -After having stored energy for one turn, Aleh shoots her Ukuqothulwa! She was being targeted by ten (10) different enemies, so it gains an extra 500% damage!
-Ukuqothulwa: After storing energy for one turn, Aleh shoots a massive and expansive burst of dark green energy towards her opponents that travels incredibly fast and pulverizes most objects in its way. This burst of energy gains 50% extra damage from its base value for each enemy targetting Aleh at the time she shot. When reaching its first target, all of the energy will be condensed in the target's frame, causing all of the potential damage to that target. Right after shooting, Aleh can swiftly move to any position she wishes in a dash, using twice as much speed she has managed to gather through Unaba's Bullet. Achievements: -Split and conquer! (You split to take both different approaches in Ozith) -... And in the light will guide them. (You found the Mysterious Medallion in Binagi Shore) -Shattered memories. (You found the graves of Unaba heroes) -Thank you. (Bruga can sleep at nights again) -Mental health is important. (ClearAgumon liked you enough to tell you about his little problem) -Slimy victory. (You solved the puzzle and found the secret entrance to Ozith Village on the first try). -My sister would be proud! (You found one of the strangest guests Idayi has had) -Bee life! (You... turned into a bee. Huh) -I'm going to protect your promise! (You calmed Bon when he needed it, so he came to the rescue) -Infiltration complete! (You got at least 2 members hearing the Ozith meeting at the same time) -I won't let you hurt Professor! (Ina picked a side)
Post order for Ozith Village: -Manami -Daichi Yoshimura

Nami and Ulak’s situation was fairly… interesting, if borderline comical. Had the Meicoomon her sister’s sense of humor, she would no doubt be laughing at the dinosaur that was asking her an endless barrage of questions while also asking ‘why would I want to talk to you?’. It came without saying that those wouldn’t have any answer, even if she was given the time to do so.
All in all, it seemed like the dinosaur was fairly busy in the mental sense right now. Not even being sure on whether she wanted to hold the Meicoomon down with his strange stare powers or if she wanted to reopen the breach her sister had used to enter, thus liberating the cat from her previous confinement.
Quite chaotic, wasn’t it? But if the dinosaur didn’t want to talk, then the feline would surely comply. Given, at least apparently, that all his attention was focused on providing a escape route for her sister, the Meicoomon spat a foul projectile in the Tyranomon’s direction, her intent being to damage and temporarily disable his ability to keep the breach open and thus hamper Aleh’s ability to get away safely once again.
Not much else she could do in this situation, considering the information available she had regarding the nigh-immune dinosaur. Mana’s answer had struck the nail square on the head. Isimbi’s reaction was nothing short of exactly what she had wanted to provoke, and was met with a brief cheshire grin from the feline. It was probably an overstatement to think that she had deciphered the nature of this power struggle, but at the very least she thought she had an educated guess regarding what to say to press the buttons she wanted to.
Right now, however? The question was the destination this attempt at currying favor with Virkka would have; the LadyDevimon sounded like a very clever individual, and playing her hand would certainly expose the Meicoomon to quite the number of possible attempts at predation, both figurative and literal.
One thing was certain, however. Virkka hadn’t explicitly told Mana to shut up even after that obvious intromission and had been obviously dismissive of Isimbi’s outward anger at it, which meant that had been a welcome comment, or at least that she was unafraid of the MetalGreymon’s wrath.
A finger was brought to her chin in a pensive gesture regarding the following exchange. Quite problematic, wasn’t it? It was probably the best moment for her to interfere. “Rebellious and unreliable subordinates, huh?” Mana’s tone was tinged with surprise at the statement. She then gave Virkka a look. “Is it really fine to form an alliance with somebody who can’t even exert enough authority on his underlings to prevent them from harming our people? I don’t know… Things could go sour at any moment if everyone just does as they please.”
Least to say, the acted concern towards digimons she didn’t even know was so authentic it might as well have been real. But, there was a fair degree of truth regarding the opportunities for an unpleasant exchange if the authority figure couldn’t really exercise it.
Luckily, this also was a golden opportunity for the feline. Rummaging through a particularly dense patch of her fur, Mana brought out what seemed like a fairly ancient cassette recorder. “The good news is that I can do my part in trying to resolve this situation! This machine I have here can instantly relay exactly one voice message. Surely, if your warriors hear their leader’s voice, the hostilities are bound to cease, right? I’d be fairly worried otherwise.”
Of course, the implication was that her concern was regarding Isimbi’s actual ability to lead. —Trichobezoar: By manipulating raw spirit energy, Nami can mold them into a... pretty foul projectile, all things considered. Anyone hit by this ability is so grossed out they can’t attack. Duration: One post. Cooldown: Three posts. Trichobezoar's cooldown: 0/3.

Daichi and Han look atrentively at the meeting in progress trying to get as much information as possible since there wasn't much they could do from their position and most of the stalling have to be done by Mana who manage to make a great question that put the possible alliance between the factions on halt for the moment, what the duo manage to get out of the whole exchange was that Unaba had some manuscripts that the pirates wanted and by helping them they'll get a scientist they need for some reason.
Fortunately it seems that Unaba is incredibly bad at organizing since they can't even make their own soldiers stop and are putting Virkka's crew in danger and the trust of the captain in the Tribe's capabilities was being put into question which is helpful for them at least a bit, at the end of the day this pirates will be their enemies no matter what but it's way more manageable if they don't work with an already strong faction.
Thinking about it... It doesn't really matter how strong they are as the digital stabilizer will put everyone at an even ground so even if Virkka looks significantly more stronger than the mechanic dinosaur on this situation they are just the same, and that also applies for his partners which means that even if they ally themselves they have a fighting chance, of course it would be better if they remain enemies it would be way better to fight two unorganized factions on even ground that one big group, numbers advantage is still a thing after all.
Jin kept a steady pace as he follow Ina through the stairs and the hallway, there was an air of uncertainty as they walked towards the door leading them to the cells, the Igamon had his eyes wide open and his hand holding the hilt of his sword ready to fight is necessary and once they cross the last door and found themselves in the hangar Jin could only open his mouth in surprise at the size of the place with the cells scatter around and a very dim light illuminating the place.
His amazement was cut short due to the voices of some of the captive digimon talking about Ina and the Monodramon doing a 180 running into him, it was odd to say the least, why go through all this trouble to get scared at the last possible second? And then it clicked... Sort of, the Ninja would walk up to Ina and sit next to her, he would try his best to handle the subject but this might not be his forte
"I lack the full context but I think I know why you would be scared" He made a pause thinking what words could be of help here "But if what Kenna told us was right, you are one of the greatest heroes on the whole island and that's what this digimon need now, a hero" He then would stand up "Again, I don't know the full story but what I do know is that right now you are the right digimon to help them, seeing you would boost their morale and cooperate with us and the fastest we help them we can then gather with Kenna and help Nob! And once we done everything to help the island we can see Kenna and if the way she spoke of the heroes was any indication she'll be extremely happy to know you are alive and well" The ninja would extend his hand and help Ina stand up if she accepted
Hopefully his words would reach the Monodramon, certainly his sibling or his tamer would've made a better work with this situation but they weren't here so it was on him, that aside the ninja was having an odd feeling as if something wasn't right or was missing, then it hit him! There was no sign of Lyre around.
"Hold on... Where's the Coronamon? She was ahead of us but the door was closed when we arrive and I don't see her anywhere..." This was concerning because there is no way to know what will happen now, if she's here no problem but if she somehow escape and went to the meeting then things could get bad rather fast "We have to act quickly"

Post by Kenny O'Hara and Skadi on Oct 28, 2021 5:17:54 GMT
'Hell on Earth' didn't even begin to describe the absolute clusterfuck of events that followed. It wasn't like of Kenny to lose his temper like this, or to suddenly shout at others unprovoked, but Amielie had quickly became the exception to the rule, once again shrugging off his harsh words of warning, much to his, and apparently Korka's, chagrin. "This is no time to play, Amielie!" He practically spat through gritted teeth, much to Skadi's shock, "Didn't you hear what I said earlier? If you don't listen to us, you, Korka and your dino friend are all going to fucking die!" No hyperbole; the last thing anybody needed right now was somebody playing hero when clear life and death were on the line. Speak of the devil. By the time that Aleh had finally fired off her 'big fuck off attack', now flying towards Caine at breakneck speeds, he forced himself to scramble up something to save them all. His arms and legs trembling like crazy and his grip tightening around the Mirror Shield card, he'd quickly swipe the card into the D-Nexus at breakneck speeds, his eyes clearly locked at Caine, (or rather, the aforementioned BFOA ready to strike them all down, "Please God, make this work..." His voice dripped with sheer unadulterated panic. Not a moment too soon, and the titular shield of light would quickly envelop Caine's entire body, ready to protect him from the attack as soon as it was intended to strike him down. And now, he'd have complete say on where the attack would go instead. After all, he could angle the shield as he pleased. Question was, how would he use the shield's crazy good powers, exactly? All the while, Skadi kept her eyes on the Dark Tyrannomon. Just as well. It didn't take Qhawe's panic filled words to understand what they had to do now. Without hesitation, and her focus clearly stuck on Aleh, she'd run towards Aleh's hole, snap her fingers, and in an instant, ghostly chains would arise where she stood, suddenly going in for a massive death grip-like snare in order to keep her restrained in place. Buying them more time in the fight to save Nob. And then? Well, let's just say Skadi always seemed to have some interesting strategies up her sleeves... "Hey, ugly!" Skadi called out in a harsh mocking tone of voice in a bid to grab her target's attention, "You call yourself a warrior? While you're running away like a coward? Why don't you come back here and face me? One on one? Like a real warrior would?" Strong words, but if it was to save Nob, nothing would be off the table at this point. At this point, watching the sheer anarchy, it all just... clicked for Kenny. Was she aiming to distract Aleh to buy the team time to save Nob before it was too late? He turned his head towards the Boogiemon, a suggestion in mind, "Korka, it looks like Skadi's aiming to distract and restrain Nob for as long as possible. You have anything that we could use to get Nob out of her grasp as safely as possible? Maybe like, conjuring a fake Nob to trick her into thinking she got the wrong scientist or something?"
Internally, he prayed that Korka said yes.
In sheer panic, Kenny finally swipes VB-28: Mirror Shield to use on Caine instead, protecting him from Aleh's Ukuqothulwa (AKA the aforementioned 'big fuck off attack'). Now he has complete control of the shield itself for this post, and can redirect the attack with it in any way he wants. ...which is a good thing since Skadi aims to trap Aleh in place with Ethereal Chains, aiming to stop her from moving, and giving the others a chance to save Nob before it's too late. She also gains another token from Buildup, buffing her attack to a further 30%. Ethereal Chains (RAM Upgrade): Skadi summons 2 pairs of ghostly chains silently rising from the ground to coil around the opponents feet (4 if the opponent has 4 feet, for flavor purposes only). Once trapped, they are bound for one turn, unable to move from the spot or turn around, but are still free to attack, just as long as the attack doesn't involve using their feet. Flying/airborne opponents will be pulled to the ground by the chains. Does not interfere with the Buildup passive. (2 post cooldown) Card used: VB-28Card Name: Mirror Shield Type: Modify Rank: Gold Duration: 1 Post Effect: The target Digimon gains a shield made of pure light. It can reflect all damage from a single attack of your level or many attacks of the level below. It can reduce damage from an attack of a single level higher, but does not reflect them. Passives:Buildup (Passive): For every post that Skadi does not directly attack the opponent with an ability, she gains a token. This token increases her attack by 10%, up to a total count of 4 tokens. These tokens cannot be taken off by the opponent, nor can these boosts be reduced by any attacks or passives from any opponent. (For example, simply using her swords to parry the opponent or merely swinging her sword to attack will not affect Buildup. Using Dual Striker or Sliver Breaker does)
Keen Eye (Passive): Being a skilled swordswoman has it’s benefits. So that means that she gets a 1.3x boost to accuracy. This also allows her to see perfectly fine where she otherwise wouldn’t, including fog, smoke, and other weather conditions. Active Buffs/Debuffs: Skadi:Buildup (+10% ATK): 3/4 active tokens Frostcloak (+30% defence, immune to all debuffs): 1/3 Caine: Mirror Shield (Reflect any one attack from their level or lower): 1/1 Cooldowns:Frostcloak: Active Shadowclone: 3/3 Ethereal Chains: Waiting Cards Used (1/7):DR-28: Wings of the Wyvern (1/2) VB-28: Mirror Shield (1/1)

Post by Sasha on Oct 28, 2021 21:44:26 GMT
Something felt off as soon as the Russian attempted to summon her spirit form. The usually invigorating adrenaline rush this time came accompanied with a heavy, almost painful tug, as if trying to walk uphill while carrying a lot of weight. It didn't stop her form from fully materializing but it did left her feeling just...off.
The fact the bee like garments hadn't dissapeared was her second tip to realizing something was wrong, but she only became aware of those as soon as her attack hit her mark and the musyamon was allowed a moment to breathe. She still however managed to catch Kenna's amazed tone, to which the green ogre like samurai gave her a reassuring thumbs up, not one to ignore any chance to flaunt her strenght and confidence. Which came crashing down as she suddenly felt her legs turn to amorphous jelly for a moment. Almost quite literally, as she could feel her entire frame just...flicker, as if whatever kept her being in place suddenly stopped working for an alarming second or two, her body threatening to fall off at the seams during a blink that felt eternal. Third time's the charm, now she was positive something was going really poorly inside of her. And even if she didn't fully understand the what, she could already guess the why: it was all that ladydevimon's fault somehow, her "power" conflicting with her spirits in a way she couldn't tell the full extent of, but could easily feel.
Speaking of feeling, the ensuing strike from the recently evolved Fugamon was something she was certainly gonna feel even after this was all over. She had barely managed to get out of her confused stupor enough to raise one arm in defense, the red oni's club landing against it with enough force to send the Russian reeling back a bit, a pained grunt escaping her. Though as pain coursed through her, so would strenght (as long as the Captain's corrupting embrace didn't sap that too). And with that strenght would also come a counterattack, data and code converging into her free hand that soon took the shape of two hook like blades conected by a single, sturdy chain, which she would throw with great anger at her enemy, of course.
Passive: I BRING WAR: Conflict fuels this spirit, and as the fight rages on so does the escalation of his tactics. For every turn that he spends fighting he increases his strenght by 10%. This can stack up to four times, though if he is unable to deal damage for two posts in a row all the stacks will be lost. At any time during the fight they can focus all the accumulated stacks into one of their other offensive abilities, increasing the ability's damage by twice the amount of stacked power (I.E. making the attack be 80% stronger with four stacks). After doing this however they can't accumulate more stacks for the next 3 turns.
Hook: Summons a long energy chain that ends on two sharp hooks, before trying to snare the enemy with it. If succesful it will chain down the enemy to the ground or similar surface, preventing them from moving for one turn, though they are still free to use attacks. Two posts cooldown.
Cooldowns: Hook: (0/2) Blades of Conquest: (1/2)

Post by Hisato and Bad Company on Nov 4, 2021 17:47:21 GMT
Well, Caine had figured something awful was coming up, but this was not quite how he anticipated it to go. Not once in a million years did he expect Skadi and Kenny to leap to his aid, but...They were a team, were they not? Of course they would. Given he had free reign over the shield...? In theory? If he could, he'd send it, it being the attack aimed right for him, right back to where it came from. Return to sender, unkindly, and with maximum prejudice. Yet, as the boulder fell and shattered, he had to pursue...The Beelzemon LEAPT through the hole after Aleh, if those chains didn't hold! "You bitch. You're going to just fire one attack and leave? Come now, I thought you were a warrior, not some lapdog!" Taunting a sociopathic dinosaur is absolutely an amazing idea. In the meantime, Hisato looked to Amelie. "...You've got tricks, right? If they don't directly deal damage, I think you might have something that can help stop her. But you can't keep...treating this like some sort of playground..."
In the meantime, elsewhere... Things continued to unravel before them, this time through the eyes of Bruga herself. The island of Idayi was a difficult area to exist within thanks to how violent the weather could be. They witnessed Bruga's sorrow, Qwahe's failure to protect her friends, and the subsequent self loathing. It was a place both brothers had been in before. A vicious place home to a lurid cycle of hatred, exertion, harm, and repetition. All born from the idea of not being 'good' enough. "...Do you need someone to tell you to be a hero, Bruga? Because that isn't how it works. Heroes aren't chosen, nor are they born. They are made. It shouldn't matter whether someone is 'good' enough or not. What matters is the drive to see things done. To rise up where others like the Bush League Hero can't." It wasn't Gyo saying that, surprisingly enough. It was Scarab. The Stingmon felt as if this was meant to be some sort of wake-up call. Something to prevent the skeletal creature from gaining form. "...This goes beyond tribes now, I think. You're Bruga. Nobody can take that away from you. Ina and Iqhwa would not want to see you like this. Ina and Iqhwa would want you to feel your best. And right now, we need Bruga. Not anyone of the Hloniphla or the Idimoni. We need you. For you. Kenna needs you, for you. If you're not strong enough to do this alone, then that's fine! We'll get this done together." ... Was Gyo's words enough? Were the brothers on the right track?
Relevant Passives: Caine Seer [Passive]: Caine...is a strange one. He's connected to a network of riddles and madness that ultimately give him knowledge he should not know. Think of this passive as a ability-based version of the Arcana Draw card. He's able to tap into this network in order to divine an answer or a hint as to a question within a mission or plot, but it's ultimately up to the DM/runner of the thread as to how clear or unclear this is. Once per thread.
The Emperor [Passive]: Caine's bullets in this form seek out that which he deems wicked, homing in upon them by his will for a 30% increase in overall accuracy.
Gluttony [Passive]: Of course, all of his attacks leech life from their quarry, and heal Caine for 5% of his overall health.
So, if Mirror Shield works on that funnily named attack that I am not going to remember how to spell, Caine's going to try bouncing it back at Aleh. If she's still running, then pursuit. He doesn't make any other offensive actions this turn. Cooldowns: FoTDK: 3/3 - ready... Primal Orb: 2/3 Heartbreak Shot: 1/3
