thescaronhisface , Shark

marinebiting and their various partners
What: It wasn't much of a story, more like a means to an end.
When: The night of Aug 15th
Where: Tokyo Tower

The stars twinkling in the night sky almost seemed to be laughing at Jinx as she raced through the night in a torn black dress and coat.

Her hair fluttered behind her dramatically as she weaved her way through black and white buildings with Noir hot on her heels. He flew surprisingly fast for someone so unaerodynamic.

"Tell me what you stole!" He barked as they clumsily dodged around a trash can and heard the shouting of pursuing mobsters on their heels.

"I swear I haven't stolen anything since this stupid event started except for a couple of bits and this stupid poker chip!" She drew it out of her bra and shook it at Noir who nabbed it studying it carefully.

"Why in the digital world would there be such a fuss about this chip?"

"Beats me!" Jinx snatched it back, "But it's the only other thing I've stolen this week."

"This week." He rolled his eyes as Tokyo Tower came into view.

"So you're telling me..." Noir panted as they raced for the base of the tower. "That these Digimon are trying to kill you, and have killed some mob boss all because of a poker chip?!"
She tucked the chip back in her bra and shrugged. "What do you want me to say? That I'm a murderer? That I stole some expensive diamond? Well I didn't you suspicious pig!"

"Yeah, sure you didn't!" Noir spat as she slowed her run to a trot. They were almost there, almost in the clear.

"Why are we even here?" He thought to ask pushing his fedora back up out of his line of sight."

"Because while YOU were out playing detective and leaving me alone to get chased around the city, I was contacted by the daughter of the Don I apparently killed. She wants to meet and clear this all up."

Noir's eyes boggled and he almost fell out of the sky. "And you don't think perhaps this is a trap!?"

Jinx smirked, "I know it is. But I want to know who's behind all this and that means using whatever I've got. Which right now consists of this lead, a ripped dress, a poker chip, and you...for whatever you're worth."

"Well thank you Ms. Exposition." He growled.

"Shit, she's getting away!"

Things have taken a definite turn for the worse. It was like everything that could go wrong, did.

"Leave, the Tsukaimon, it's her we want!"

Gotsumon releases Noir and spends a few seconds brushing the last remnants of energy from her face before joining her partner.

Jinx was on the run now breaking away from the group and making for the base of the tower. There were elevators and stairs but if she thought she could hide in the tower she'd have a hard time of it.

"What the hell is she thinking?" Noir cursed out loud as he shot off after her and began gaining on Gotsumon who was slowly gaining on Jinx.

Kovu and his partner would have to join in the chase soon or risk losing them in the night.

The very instant the girl tries to take off, Kovu's right behind her, nearly on her heels at first before losing some ground due to his bigger body.

"Lopmon!"

"Got it!" his partner shouts back, already running too. He jumps into the air and whips his long ears right at Kovu's back. "Tiny Twister!"

Kovu jumps just before the small tornado sends him flying, and hurtling pretty much right into the girl.

Well, this is a right mess. Shark doesn't even know what their next move should be. It was difficult enough with two parties fighting, now that a third one has officially joined the fray things were going even more downhill than before.

Gotsumon takes the initiative, obviously the first step is to stop the fleeing, right?

"Angry Rock!"

She fires a stone from her forehead, aiming to trip up Jinx. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on one's perspective, she attacks right as Lopmon starts his Tiny Twister.

Jinx let out a yelp as Kovu crashed into her sending her tumbling. The rock slammed into the rolling crashing bundle and while it's target is not clear Jinx let out a cry of pain indicating it had landed somewhere.

Noir dove for the two of them as they rolled to a stop and shove his face in Kovu's.

"CHUMP!" The word formed into negative energy and shot from one mouth to the other as Noir tried to get Kovu off Jinx.

Well, it worked up until the Tsukaimon got right up in his face. The force of the blow sends him reeling, and he hadn't gotten a chance to get a grip on the girl yet.

Lopmon, meanwhile, is trying to play catch-up. He jumps into the air again, and sends out a trail of tiny flames right in front of the girl, so that she can't get far from Kovu before he recovers.

Good enough. They'll take it. But things are getting pretty dangerous for everyone involved - they want to catch Jinx alive.

"Can't you digivolve?" Shark shouts at his partner.

"Does it look like there's enough space for a large wolf here?"

This has gone far too long, and finally, Shark shouts something to Kovu.

"Hey you! Want to call a temporary truce until we catch the girl? Then we can fight over who gets the reward."

She scrambles to her feet throwing herself recklessly through the fire and hitting the ground rolling to put out the flames catching on her tattered dress.

Noir takes a deep breath and spews out purple poison gas to spread across the grass, hopefully to slow them down more.

"If you'd actually done anything we wouldn't have to bother!" They weren't really fighting each other anyway. Kovu rolls to his feet and takes off after Jinx straight away, but the gas makes him start coughing. He has to stop to hack and wheeze.

"TINY TWISTER!" Lopmon uses the little tornado to clear out the smoke, and Kovu gets back to running after the girl.

It was worth a try.

As soon as the gas clears, Shark dashes off. If Jinx got any further away, they would lose her completely. Leaping through the flames, he makes a mad sprint for Jinx and tries to tackle her. Gotsumon follows behind.

"Finally, open space!"

There's a flash of light, and Garurumon stands in Gotsumon's place.

The flash of light is enough to make Jinx look over her shoulder and let out a strangled cry.

"Are you KIDDING me now? All of this and you still can't digivolve?"

Noir was flapping madly to catch up to her now and shouted back "Well I'm starting to think that isn't my fault! It takes two to tango you know!"

She was almost to the base of the tower now. She threw a stone from the ground nailing the elevator button summoning it down. This would be the last chance they had to stop her.

"Lopmon!"

"Already ahead of ya!" Moments later Lynxmon leaps into the air, creating a blast of fire with a roar that walls off the elevator - at least until the flames die, or the girl decides to just jump through them again.

Kovu still hasn't caught up to her, but he's hoping the gout of fire will keep her from getting away.

Garurumon is ready for the final blow, as blue energy gathers in her mouth.

"Howling Blaster!"

Opening her jaws, she releases the energy aimed straight at Jinx and Noir. They're not going to take any chances - they're aiming for a complete knockout so they can just secure the damn target and prevent any more crafty escape attempts.

Blue energy from behind, fire in front of her, and the elevator doors opening. Things are getting worse by the second.

In a city of stories hers is just another one swirling around the drain. What would it matter if her story ended here and now? Never knowing the truth about who set her up or why. Never finding out just what is so important about the poker chip currently hidden in the cup of her bra.

Would anyone really notice if she was gone? Had she made any real friends in this world?

Closing her eyes Jinx braced herself and pushed harder, running faster. She could hear the air sizzling behind her as the energy burned through it in blinding brightness casting shadows on everything around it.

"JINX!!!"

Swooping in from high Noir was at her back and spread his tiny body as wide as he could to absorb some of the blast. His grunt was her signal to leap into the air and go limp.

The blaster swept the gangly girl and her chubby partner along like a car hitting them from behind, carrying them through the flames and slamming them into the elevator as the doors opened. Stars swam in her vision and she was on the ground before she'd even known she was falling.

Her body was numb, if she wasn't still stunned from the attack she might worry about being paralyzed. Somewhere over the crackling of the flames she heard Noir groaning...so at least he was still alive.

Glancing out the door through the fire and smoke she couldn't see more then the outline of her attackers, but a silly smile crossed her lips and she waved weakly from the floor of the elevator before the doors slid closed.

...Kovu couldn't remember the last time he'd lost his prey. He whips around to glare at the other guys and his Garurumon, the motion echoed eerily well by Lynxmon, who also starts to get between his partner and the other Champion.

"What is wrong with you?! Why would you blast her in the direction she's already running?!"

"It wasn't supposed to do that!" It was supposed to be a finishing blow that stopped her in her tracks. In all reality, it was probably the worst case of timing ever. And this bad timing has landed Shark in very hot water indeed.

"You're not pinning the blame for this on me are you, Ryoga?"

"We have more important things to worry about; we can play the blame game later."

"'More important things to worry about?'" Kovu repeats, almost dumbfounded. "She's gone, thanks to you!"

Lynxmon has now made it between Garurumon and Kovu, cutting off any immediate threat the wolf might post to his partner.

Kovu growls. "Unless you've got some brilliant idea to bring down that elevator, we're both out of luck."

"Where the hell is she going to run up there? She's obviously going to meet someone, and there's no way she can escape any other way. That Tsukaimon can't digivolve for whatever reason."

He'd go over to push the call button if there wasn't things like fire and a very angry person and Lynxmon in the way.

"We just follow her."

"I'd be surprised if there isn't someone up there waiting for her already. And whatever she's got that we're supposed to grab her for is probably gonna be gone by the time she comes back down."

Kovu can't help but growl again. What kind of idiot fights like that?

There's a sound like a crack from somewhere up high...no a shatter.

If they look up the four of them will see the faint shape of a body being thrown through a window, and the glittering sparkling glass of that window raining down towards them.

Another flash of light and a Soulmon snags the body out of the air. The flash of pink hair is unmistakable.

"...Told ya."

Garurumon makes a move to shield her partner from the shards of glass.

"...Well shit."

Kovu covers his head with an arm, while Lynxmon blasts a bunch of the glass out of the air.

"So, what now?"

"The question is whether we should be more concerned about her or whatever it is that threw her out the window."

Garurumon growls and interrupts.

"Are you two going to just stand there and argue all day like a pair of whelps or are you going to do something? I'll go up there myself if I have to."

"If you can fly, be my guest. I'm not chasing after her until she's back on the ground."

Lynxmon nods his agreement. "We don't know what's up there, or what did that to her."
