Who: Jinx

badluckbabe , Hollyleaf

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.

"'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."

From the darkness a shap, spinning and making a thick sound as it cut through the night sky...

...it's a sword!! And it's a big one. At least a foot wide and several feet long! Falling to Earth like it was cast out from heaven...or that busted window.

Also...was that a Renamon hanging from a rope off the side of the tower?
