Who: The city!
What: Beemon Invasion
When: 24-26 of April 2013
Where: All over Terminal Tokyo

Just as Ryou predicted it was only several hours later that the first wave of Beemon made their appearance. None of the various types of Beemon seem to even blink if they're attacked. Their first and only objective seems to be to lay ruin to the city and everything in it. At first any attacks will be ignored, but if someone proceeds to continue and attack them the Beemon will attack.

They're difficult to beat, regardless of level. The FanBeemon may need two people working together even at Champion level. Each Digimon are much more difficult to defeat solo than they would be normally. One thing should easily be certain before the first night is out-- if you want the city to survive then you're going to need to work together.]

[[OOC:
So here's how this will work guys-- unless you need a Digimon for various reasons: playing out the first Digivolution, Dark Digivolutions, or a general battle they will be played by you. You may request a modded NPC as per usual, but depending on the number/duties you may be turned down (we'll do our best, though). Keep in mind your character will <b>not</b> have an easy win on their own and that humans will be virtually ineffective. Your character may get a few good whacks in on a rookie level Beemon, but that won't be so effective later.

NPC Chosen will also be out and around the areas to help you as needed, so you can tag them!

There's all sorts of Beemon to fight so pick and choose: FanBeemon, Flybeemon, HoneyBeemon, JewelBeemon, CannonBeemon, and DinoBeemon specifically will be most noticeable.

Remember to mark your subject titles with date, time, and even type of Beemon!]]

[Seasarmon is going to tell Cam that from the looks of that attack, firing at its mouth again will not go well. She's going to tell him that they need to find another strategy-- but this is before Masaru shows up.

At his sudden arrival, both Digimon and Chosen turn their attention to him.]

H-huh, what's...?

[He doesn't have much time to think because Seasarmon's body shakes.] Campbell, I'm going to attack again. [As not to surprise him. Right, right, more attacks, at least keep it busy, right. Cam pats her side, his way of saying he understands.] Energy Ray! [It's smaller than the Holy Cannon, but she darts around DexDorugamon, firing off small energy blasts.]

[You know, this is a pretty serious situation, and Shepard is very good in serious situations. But when a teenager comes out of nowhere and punches a giant robotic monster in the face?]

[Yeah, she just stares.]

[Alexandria is similarly confused, but at least someone is doing what she had said, even if that person wasn't even around to hear her.

Of course, this breaks Tailmon's concentration, but what she needed was done anyway, so she falls back to try to pull the wall off of Alex's arm.]

[Forte doesn't register Masaru until he's already reeling from the blow. Then the pressure on his mind is gone and he's staring in shock as this guy is shouting at him in words he doesn't quite process right away.

The pain and the words hit at about the same time a few seconds later, and his face twists back into anger. He doesn't even realize that Masaru has grabbed his Digivice, he just shouts back.]

The... the hell do you mean because of ME!? I didn't DO anything; he just went crazy! And don't you DARE talk to me about PARTNERS! I NEVER ASKED TO HAVE MINE REPLACED BY THIS THING!!

[Meanwhile, Seasarmon's attacks are doing a good job of delaying DexDorugamon's last-ditch blast. It tries to swipe at her with its claws as she passes, but it's in no condition or position to get in a good hit.]

[Masaru sneered, and lunged forward, swinging a fist at Forte's face again]

DON'T YOU GET IT?! THEY GET THEIR POWER FROM US! OUR FEELINGS! OUR EMOTIONS!

YOU TURNED YOUR PARTNER INTO THIS!

[Forte normally would've been able to dodge an attack like that easily, but now, wounded, bleeding, and upset, it was all he could do to twist awkwardly to the side. The second punch glanced hard off his other cheekbone, but didn't seem to deter him any more than the first one had. He clenched his fists again, stumbling back to his feet - if he weren't so beat up Masaru would be getting an answering punch right back. As it was, it was clear Forte could barely stand, despite his efforts to look like he could still fight.]

WHY SHOULD I FUCKING CARE?! I can't FIGHT anymore, and these monsters are USELESS! DOESN'T THIS WHOLE STUPID THING JUST PROVE THAT!? I'm... I'm the STRONGEST, understand?!

[He's half rambling, and the end of that last statement dissolves into a coughing fit. All the yelling really isn't helping his aching chest.]

THE STRONGEST?!

[Masaru snarled and grabbed at Forte's shirt collar, pulling him closer so they were face-to-face]

THERE IS NOTHING STRONG ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING! Strength is admitting when you've made a mistake! Strength is having the courage to keep going and improve!

[there was a look in Masaru's eyes that went beyond anger]

I've been there! I forced my partner to evolve in anger! I turned him into something uncontrollable and twisted, and I nearly lost him forever because of it! I WAS DAMN LUCKY I HAD A SECOND CHANCE, AND NOW YOU... YOUR PARTNER IS SUFFERING BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISHNESS!

The fact that this is even happening, and you won't even admit it's your fault?!

PROVES JUST HOW WEAK YOU ARE!

[Forte doesn't even get the chance to open his mouth again before the words hit him like a sledgehammer. Masaru says "partner," and for the second time that day, it isn't Tsukaimon that Forte sees, but Gospel.

He'd never forgive himself if he let something like this happen to Gospel. He'd convinced himself so thoroughly that Tsukaimon was this world's pathetic attempt to replace his real partner, a fraud, a phony, a cheap knock-off. The worst insult to the only robot he truly considered his brother and friend that he could imagine. But for an instant, those words let doubt into his mind, and it sent cracks running all through that conviction he'd forged in his anger...

Being called weak like that shattered it.

He choked, almost falling over as his legs refused to work quite right, and grabbed at Masaru's wrists.]

I-I didn't... I'm not...

[But the look on his face is enough to see that it's hit home. Forte's digivice hums, the sickening purple energy around it slowly dissipating as it's replaced by a softer teal. Behind him, DexDorugamon screams in pain as the last of Seasarmon's attacks hits, and the sound causes Forte to flinch.

The Digimon begins to glow, the dark energy leaving it, and shrink.]

[As DexDorugamon shrinks, Seasarmon stops attacking, abrupt. She stops running too...and Cam all but collapses against her neck, with a sigh of relief. He rubs her side and closes his eyes; yes, there's still an attack going on, but this is one crisis averted.]

Thank goodness...

Campbell. [Seasarmon shifts and he opens his eyes.] ...You can stay there. [As she walks back over to Strikedramon, Cam doesn't say how grateful he is; he's pretty sure his legs have given out, anyway.]

[While Forte and Masaru had their feelings punch-out, Tailmon had succeeded in getting the wall trapping Alexandria's arm off, showing a rather nasty wound, and a thick steel wire going clear through her arm. She grimaced as she looked at it, though fortunately, the wire still being in the arm was stopping the bleeding.]

I do hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you all do remember that this arsemuncher wasn't actually the problem in the first place, right? We've still got a swarm of demon killer bees around, and the only one of us in any condition to get to the shelters is the punchy bloke.

On that note, someone give me your shirt.
