Get Out Of The Water! [Plot] [FULL]

 

When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean

As Peacockmon made his way to the entrance of the building, following the noise of Lucemon's attacks, the ground all around them gave a fearful shudder. What was once eerie silence quickly became obnoxiously loud discord as the supports of the structure in front of them gave way to Sandiramon's acidic attack. The ground floor of the massive building began to quickly fill with dust and dirt clouds as the structure began collapsing in on itself before leaning heavily over toward the same direction Ramon happened to be running. Peacockmon's eyes widened as he realized the amount of damage that was going to be done to the city, and his inability to stop what was coming.

The cybernetic Digimon cursed to himself as he prepared to quickly move out of the way; however, that's when things became a bit more complicated than he would've liked. Behind him, a human had been running in the same direction, possibly to go inside that building Sandiramon had holed himself up in earlier. Either this human was incredibly foolish, or very brave to want to follow that monster. It was only when Ramon's eyes landed on the collapsing structure that he gasped and walked backwards, either in fear or awe at the sight in front of him. Unfortunately Ramon didn't have time to marvel at the sight, as debris and the structure's various pieces began to fall all around them, with increasing rapidity. Ramon turned and began to run the opposite direction.

What had been excitement one moment had turned quickly into fear for his life. Ramon knew there wasn't any way for him to escape, not when the building was so large and towering. His survival instincts refused to accept that, however, and he began sprinting briskly in a diagonal line as fast as possible. His legs, which he'd prided on giving him an edge in speed on his opponents, wouldn't do their job today. As Ramon neared a street to turn out of the path of soon to be destruction, a large chunk of the structure fell, crashing into the space in front of Ramon. What had once been a wide two lane road was now a wall, trapping the would be Digimon tamer.

"SHIT!" he shouted, realizing that his situation was essentially bordering on inescapable death.

Ramon swallowed, his eyes widened and with fear. He turned around, seeing the structure teeter ever closer toward him, the distance between the two of them closing faster with every millisecond. Ramon hung his head, hope of getting out being nowhere in sight.

Peacockmon's eyes stayed fixed on the human; what should he do?! He'd sworn to protect the city and it's denizens with his life, but was this human worth saving? He'd endangered his own life this time around, and the citizens would have great need of him soon enough. However, a thought wormed it's way into the avian Digimon's conscience, a solution to the dilemma. This human was still, even if only temporary, a citizen of White Water. His duty demanded it, and this Digimon wouldn't back down from it.

Peacockmon sped off as quickly as possible, making a straight bee line for the trapped individual. Within a few seconds, the building now only a few seconds away from collapsing onto the two of them, Peacockmon barked an order to Ramon as he brushed him down with his left wing.

"STAY DOWN, DON'T GET UP HUMAN!"

Peacockmon then turned and faced the ensuing pillar of death now coming down on them.

VIOLET BURST!" he shouted, a violet barrier forming around his body as he kept himself planted in front of Ramon, his wings crossed defensively.

"ARE 'CHU CRAZY?! YOU'LL DIE TOO!"

"NO, YOU WON'T."

After their brief exchange, the rest of the structure collapsed onto the streets and smaller buildings of White Water, engulfing much of the city. Somewhere not far off from where they'd been trapped moments ago, Ramon uncomfortably shifted in a pile of rubble and dust, his body caked with pieces of debris and dirt. In front of him, kneeling, and with pieces of data streaming off of his body, Peacockmon's body fell to the side, all of his energy and life force being spent to keep the human alive.

Hearing the sound of Peacockmon's body crashing into the ground, Ramon's eyes opened, his body weak and injured from what had just happened. While he didn't think any of his bones were broken, multiple dark spots covered his body, as well as quite a few bad cuts and gashes. Still lying on the ruined ground, Ramon called out, wondering if anyone else was alive.

"H.... help..... help me!"

With each word Duffer spoke it became harder and harder to find the words "Dead" and "Alive" And saying them again did nothing, just like how attempting to summon another Kotemon yielded nothing. He had no clue how long he was in this place, the thought of attempting to summon a clock was quickly dismissed, as he didn't want to risk losing those two most important words. But he didn't forget what else was important. He had begun carrying Kotemon, er... the objects RESEMBLING Kotemon that flopped around like a ragdoll and wasn't warm or alive like the real one. But it was all he had.

Wandering the vast, cold landscape, Duffer found himself going nowhere, fast. It was silent, the only sounds being from Duffer's feet hitting the ground repeatedly. "This... this sure is weird, huh?" Duffer asked the Kotemon-like, part of him wishing for a response and part of him terrified of what it would mean if it did. Much to a rather bittersweet feeling, no responses besides his own echo followed. The vast mindscape stretched ever onward for as long as Duffer could imagine.

Knightmon looked around, worried and confused. The dust was settling and everything was getting... heavy. taking a deep breath and trying to move, the digimon found itself falling to its knees and slowly dedigivolving. Setting down the partner and returning to Kapurimon, the tiny, fluffy, helmeted digimon tried to look through all the dust and debris.
"HELLO?!" It shouted, hard as it could. "Hello! Anyone alive? We need help!"

"I'm fine... but... does the other...?" Ryouta asked to the foreigner girl. That question does not need to be answered, though. Quickly, there comes two yells for help. Ryouta decided that it's not time to stays idle. The first come from an unknown guy that before is with them on the battlefield... the other two has sort of approached him, so what he can do now is to go to the other one.

"Hey!" Ryouta called out the the small Kapurimon. "Were you the one that called out for help?" he asked again. As he's unsure what was Kotemon's in-training form was, he just assumed that this is... it. Kotemon doesn't have a gender, does it? He himself is unsure, but at least he need to help most before something else happened. He don't know wheter Sandiramon would appear or not later anyway.

For all that is holy, he hoped that the foreigner boy is alright.
