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!]]

[The attack crashed into the side of DexDorugamon's jaw, but appeared to do little else other than enrage it further. It roared loud enough for probably half the city to hear, then shook itself violently as it felt Gazimon land on its head, trying to throw her off.]

[Indeed, Gazimon was flung away, and on top of that... Right at Alexandria. Gazimon braced for impact, but Alex herself simply stared.

There is always a way out. If she can't alter her own trajectory... Then change her mass.

With that determination in mind, her Digivice began to shine. Gazimon glowed brightly, and landed in front of Alexandria on new paws.]

I evolved?

Ignore the monster, attack the human's Digivice. Kill its power source!

Right!

[And like that, Tailmon darted around DexDorugamon's legs for where Forte had thrown his Digivice.]

[Claws swiped at Tailmon as the larger Digimon tried to catch her, whipping its wire-tipped tail across her path. Its jerky movements weren't much of a match for Tailmon's agility, but it was determined to turn the street into an obstacle course regardless, even firing another massive cannonball point-blank into the pavement in an attempt to hit her.

Forte had barely heard Alex's shout, and he stumbled as the cannonball shook the ground, swearing under his breath. The shockwave caused his Digivice to rattle closer to him, bumping into his shoe. He glared at it. None of this was his fault! Everything about this place was stupid, and Tsukaimon was stupid; he hadn't even HELPED, just gone berserk, and everyone else was stupid for buying into the whole thing!

So why did it hurt to look at his Digivice? He pulled his arms tight around his aching chest and sucked in a pained breath.

When Tailmon makes it to the Digivice, she's going to get either a boot to the face or a leg placed firmly in her way, depending on how quick she can react.]

Hey, shove off! Just leave me the hell ALONE!

[They're about to get more company. From one of the edges of the city, Campbell, Neku, and Shepard have been hobbling along, going slow as not to aggravate the latter two's injuries more. It's taken some time, but Strikedramon's proving to be their Digi-Ambulance, with Neku riding on his tail and Shepard being carried in his arms.

Their goal is the shelter, and they've mostly avoided any Digimon in their way, but the sight of DexDorugamon makes Cam stop cold.] What the...

That's...not a Beemon.

[That's not only what catches Cam's eye:] Why are, why are some of us fighting?!

[Tailmon, and Forte.]

[Shepard is unable to see most of what's ahead of her, because Strikedramon is carrying her bridal style and her face is tucked into his chest. She wants to be on her feet, but she's having trouble breathing, and while she isn't going to say anything, she's starting to worry that she might have injured something internally other than bones.]

[When her partner stops walking suddenly, though, she pulls herself up a little using his shoulder to get a look.]

The hell?

[Strikedramon goes stiff and growls. Dark digivolution, meet digimon designed to chase down and kill viruses. When he talks, it's in a rough growl.]

Virus.

[Tailmon responded to Forte's leg by jumping back, then trying to circle around him. While Tailmon was doing that, Alexandria was trying to free her arm, but she could tell this wasn't going to happen easily. She was pretty sure there was something going through her arm to keep it pinned even despite the rest of the rubble. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she was dimly surprised she hadn't started screaming yet, but that could wait until she was out of danger. To take her mind off of that, she started talking to the new arrivals- They could help.]

First of all, I'm not 'us'. This guy's monster went nuts and it's strong like this. Destroy the Digivice or knock out its human. If humans energize the monsters to make them bigger, cut the power flow and it might revert.

[Forte hears Alex clearly this time. He snatches his Digivice back up from the ground, shoving it back in his pocket so he doesn't have to look at it anymore, and yells back up at her.]

If your dumb cat attacks me again, I'll knock YOU out!

[It hurts to shout. It hurts to breathe, honestly, but he's hardly letting it stop him. Forte can't keep the pain and upset out of his voice, though - he's a little delirious with rage and confusion himself.

He glances towards the others, not intending to pay them much mind, but his mood darkens even further when he sees Lucemon. Another stupid angel, freaking perfect. Was this place just deliberately mocking him now? He's yelling at them too before he really knows it.]

See what happens!? I'm supposed to partner with THAT thing? This whole place is friggin stu-!

[Think fast, DexDorugamon has noticed new targets. It suddenly charges at Strikedramon's group, swiping at Forte on its way past. He stumbles to the side, barely avoiding the attack, but ends up falling to the pavement anyway, hissing at the persistent pain in his chest. He's definitely got some bruised ribs, at the very least.]

[At first, Cam starts to approach Alex, as he hadn't seen her before, pinned, but the rampaging DexDorugamon, well. That stops him in his tracks. Immediately, Lucemon braces herself in front of him.]

Grand Cross! [A crucifix behind her of ten balls of light, which charge at DexDorugamon, though at the rookie level, that probably won't do much.

BlackGatomon's become a Terriermon again, and she's too tired to fight. And it appears the partner of the wild Digimon's hurt too.

All of it makes a troubling situation; Cam can feel his hands start to shake, but he tries to will it down. Miss Shepard's hurt, Neku's hurt, these two people are hurt -- he's the only one at full strength, so he has to do something.

So, perhaps reckless or perhaps smart, he braces himself and darts away from them, his skates providing extra speed. Yes, the ground is rough, but he's lived out in a backwater wilderness just about all his life; he's used to that. He waves his arms as Lucemon launches her attack, hoping to distract DexDorugamon.]

Hey! Down here!

[When Cam moves, Strikedramon instinctively moves to follow him-- kill the virus, kill it kill it killitkillitkillit--]

[But he forces himself to stop, remembering the woman in his arms and the boy on his back. Can't. Gotta protect the humans, can't go after the enemy. It almost physically hurts, but he takes a step backwards instead.]

[Shepard, however, is not about to willingly stay put. She pushes hard on Strikedramon's chest, trying to get away. There are people in danger and Cam just threw himself into the middle of it.]

Let me go, Cadet! Now!!

[Strikedramon growls low in his throat and holds his partner tighter.]

No ma'am, Commander! You'll get killed!

We all will at this rate!

[Alexandria, for all her many, many faults, was finding she had a talent for thinking fast in times of crisis. But all her thinking was pointing her at one answer- A small cat, a childish angel, and the only strong-looking monster had its hands full of injured people. There was only one answer she could think of: Treat it like a warlock attacking with a summoned familiar, and...]

Gazimon, you said you're stronger than humans, prove it. Take down that guy no matter what you have to do. Angel-thing, provide cover fire. We have no chance of beating the monster, so take out the source!

[With a hiss, not wanting to follow orders but recognizing the wisdom in them, Tailmon leaps for Forte, claws pointed for fleshy bits.]

[As far as Forte was concerned, that right there was only more confirmation that this entire system was messed up. He whips his hand out in front of him instinctively as Tailmon leaps at him, only to remember that he no longer has a buster cannon. Left without enough time to roll out of the way, he swears under his breath and curls up, shielding himself with his arms instead.

DexDorugamon roars as Lucemon's attack pummels into it - that definitely hurt, but is nowhere near enough to take the larger Digimon down. It begins to charge another cannonball attack when Cam calls out, catching its eye.

All it takes is a tilt of its head to the side to fire that cannonball at Cam instead of Lucemon.]

[Okay, great! He's got its attention! Well now what. He puts on the speed, swerving to the right to avoid the cannonball. This is such a small space to actually be skating in, and he's never avoided projectiles, but he keeps imagining he's doing runs, and so he turns abruptly after dodging, in a zig-zag to confuse DexDorugamon.]

Campbell! [Lucemon, frankly, is horrified. She's supposed to be protecting him. This is not in the plan.]

Protect that guy! [Cam doesn't quite know who he's talking to, but Tailmon's attack caught his eye. Someone, anyone. They're not supposed to fight each other. He at least knows that.]

[Shepard is actively trying to push herself out of Strikedramon's tight grip, and elbows him hard in the chest.]

Let me go, you can't make me sit this out, those are kids!!

[Strikedramon growls and winces, then takes a big step back.]

Cam!!

[Strikedramon growls again.]

Hold still!!

Monster, listen to your human!

[Tailmon curls its claws to deliver a Cat Punch to Forte's shielding arms.]

[Forte's jacket is fairly sturdy leather, but it's still not exactly meant to be armor and Tailmon's claws easily slice through the sleeves. He bites back a cry of pain as they draw several gashes down his arms, digging his teeth into his lip, but his eyes stay open - he's watching for an opening in Tailmon's attack, and the moment he sees one he's going to roll to the side and deliver the hardest kick he can muster.]

All of you damn monsters can go to hell! Nnngh...

[After that, however, he won't be able to move much, prone on the ground trying to grip the worse of his arms to keep it from bleeding too much.

DexDorugamon, meanwhile, does indeed seem to be having some trouble following Cam's zigzags. It stomps after him, and when it misses with a claw swipe, it lets out a frustrated screech.

Followed by turning and whipping its tail in his general direction, the live wires at its tip crackling with electricity.]

[The Digimon's huge, so its tail is also huge. There is absolutely no way that Cam can dodge that in time, not with the electricity ready to shock him even if he ducks. It's coming, oncoming, fast, and yet he doesn't slow. He tries to outrun it, though he knows it's futile, because at that moment, one thought resounds through his head, a rather revolutionary one, for him:

I don't want to die.]

CAMPBELL!!!

[Lucemon charges towards him, wings moving fast, fast, but not fast enough, not--]

LUCEMON DIGIVOLE TO...SEASARMON!

[Cam's pretty sure he's dead. ...Again. He's pretty sure this is it, until something golden and white leaps over the oncoming tail and snatches him in its mouth, flips him on to its back, and keeps running, all in one fluid motion.

And this can outrun the tail.

On instinct, Cam clings to the creature's-- fur? Around its neck are what appear to be multiple spikes, but they aren't sharp, just firm. He's sure it can feel him tremble. He's very sure. He's also very sure it, like he, felt the electric waves behind them, just as DexDorugamon's tail passes them, just barely a dodge.]

Tiida Ija! [He starts. It's Lucemon's voice coming out of that thing's mouth, slightly lower, but still hers. From around the Digimon, light begins to appear, and Cam ducks lower, but not low enough to miss the sight of it: arrows, arrows of pure light, forming and firing at DexDorugamon...continuously.]

[Shepard feels her heart stop. This is too much, there shouldn't be friendly fire and Cam shouldn't be using himself as bait and she's watching a giant monster go after people she cares about while she can do nothing for the second time in her life.]

[For a moment, barely a breath, she can smell overheated thermal clips and sweat. Her hearing fades out and she recalls the moment with perfect clarity. Phantom pain shoots up her leg and she's watching the thresher maw rise up from the sand, she can hear the screaming and the crunch of lives ending and she can do nothing on a broken leg, she's trapped and she'll be next and her friends are dying right in front of her--]

[Seasarmon pulls Cam out of the way of harm's way and Shepard's vision focuses again.]

Take it down, Seasarmon!!!

[Shepard takes in a shaky breath, and steadies herself.]

Give 'em hell!!

Fine, if brute force won't work... Cat's Eye Hypnotism!

[Tailmon's eyes began to emit a strange wave as she jumped into the air again, this time trying to make eye contact with Forte. Her goal, of course, was to make him hold still so she could kill his Digivice or just gut him.]

[Forte makes the mistake of looking up as Tailmon calls out her attack, and immediately mentally smacks himself for it. It's not like he can move much anyway, but the hypnotism does a fine job of making it a definite thing, his muscles seizing up as its effect takes hold.

He fights it with every ounce of his willpower. If there's one thing he hates (that isn't named Megaman), it's being controlled - but his efforts are like pounding on a steel door, what with how emotionally exhausted he already is. He grits his teeth as he realizes this, but refuses to give up fighting back anyway. Tailmon can hold him still, but it might be some effort to keep the effect up.

The blindingly bright arrows are enough to stop DexDorugamon in its tracks as they hammer into it. The corrupt Digimon screeches in genuine pain this time, smoke rising from its body and sparks crackling along its form. There's clear damage to some of its cybernetic parts now, but it seems just as stubborn as Forte is, forcing itself to take another step forward and prepare to fire another cannonball or two at Seasarmon even as the light arrows are still raining down. The charge-up time is much longer now though - grinding, whirring, and sparking around its jaw betray a malfunction in its ability to fire properly.

The first attack flies wide, completely off-target. It takes a hit to the wings, an arrow blowing a hole straight through one of them to reveal a mess of metal and wire and what might at one point have been flesh. Another frenzied roar fills the air, and it readies another blast.]

[Cam can't focus on anything except the metallic dinosaur in front of them, digging his legs more into Seasarmon's side so he doesn't fall off her.

Seems Seasarmon has the same idea.] Hold on tight. [She crouches low and leaps, using that as her way of running to avoid the oncoming cannonball. She tries going in a circle around DexDorugamon, in order to confuse him.

Near her ear, Cam murmurs, watching DexDorugamon as she splits her attention between running and fighting.] Don't let up.

[She nods best she can.] Holy Cannon! [Similar to the arrows of light but with only one blast this time, Seasarmon turns her head and fires a high-speed light blast from her mouth, aiming at DexDorugamon's open maw.]

[At this point, Shepard feels like a spectator, watching the battle and barely breathing from Strikedramon's arms.]

Come on--!!

[She digs her nails into Strikedramon's arm as Seasarmon's attack rushes at the enemy.]

[Forte's resistance makes Tailmon struggle. She lands and keeps eye contact with him to keep the hypnotism applied; all of her effort is going to keeping him restrained, leaving her unable to attack. It seems they're at an impasse until one side gives or gets help.

Fortunately, that's what Alex is here for.]

Will one of you bloody idiotic assholes listen to me or do you all want to die?!

[There's a massive explosion as the Holy Cannon collides with the energy DexDorugamon was gathering in its maw. It gives a metallic scream and collapses to the ground, most of the armor on its head blown away.

It's still moving, though. A low, pained growl starts as it twitches and tries to get back up, only to slump down again. The only reason it's still not reverting is because Forte, not understanding the way he's affecting his Digimon, is pouring so much sheer willpower into their link and his furious upset with the entire situation.

DexDorugamon's eyes glow red, filling with more frenzy than ever. Its wounds spark and crackle again, and it no longer tries to get up, but it does open its mouth - if it fires like this, it may blow up the entire area. The energy buildup is incredibly slow this time, but it would rather take everything around it out in a blaze of glory than do nothing.]

GOD DAMMIT! TAKE SOME FREAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF!

[the words come just before a new figure enters the fray... a brown-haired young man who just charges right out, towards Forte, and... slugging the former robot across the face, before grabbing to pull the digivice out of his hands]

Your partner is rampaging because of you! You think you can just let that happen?! WHAT KIND OF PARTNER ARE YOU?!

[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.]
