Who: People in the Defenders group and the Divers

What: The Rescue of Taichi turns sour!

When: 24-26 April

Where: The new anomaly outside of Primary Village



The Trailmon to File Island left hours ago. Twenty-one people were aboard and split their separate ways at a terminal close to the Village. Some went to protect the young Digimon while most of the others had a mission at hand: rescuing the brave--or perhaps foolish-- Taichi Yagami.

No Digimon seems to be around as group approaches the field. It as Taichi said, too, full of bright colors and random numbers. The size isn't great, so one must wonder how a boy got lost in there. Or perhaps you're unable to think on that when you realize how still everything is.

No wind seems to pass and no sound can be heard.

Whatever's going on, it can't be normal for the Digital World either, can it?


[[OOC: So here's how this will work! We will give you guys a few rounds to get set up. This is so that you can get in your groups. During this time the Divers will also be roped up and sent on their way. For this we're going to need you guys to be a little speedy at first. Ideally, we will be putting up the Diving/Battling threads at NO LATER THAN 8:30 A.M. CST Thursday. They may go up earlier if we feel everyone is situated!

Several threads will go up then-- one for the Divers for which we will be putting our focus on (Divers, if you want to get started early since you don't have much coordinating to do let us know!).

The Digimon you will be fighting will also make their appearance! Please note it will take several hours after the Divers take their leave that the Digimon will appear. We will introduce these Digimon and explain the mechanics of their behavior, but wil not be playing them unless requested/necessary.

The Divers should all be pulled out by midnight on the 26th.

Good luck! If you have any questions please let us know.]]

["Well, well...Elec Man. You're still a self-absorbed weakling..." How many times had he heard that in here. Too many times to count.

He didn't have many bad memories. Which made it worse. The area would just replay the battle between him and Mega over and over again. Constantly and unabated the single memory came to the forefront of his thoughts. Raw and unforgiving. He would throw electricity and thunderbolts at his brother. His brother would attack back, with his powerful buster. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensued.

The pain increased each time he was hit, till the final shot slammed him against the wall. His body near the point of disrepair. And at that part a new wound would appear on his body.

Guts Man's voice would appear again to mock him.

"Well, well...Elec Man. You're still a self-absorbed weakling..."

He clutched Flamemon's battered body closer to him, as pain flashed across his back. And took another step forward. Something was wrong. Something was missing. And he did not know what.

Another step further. Another memory. Digimon lead to the slaughter. Another scar on his body.

He tried to remember his mission. It was to save Taichi. Taichi who had been in here longer and was suffering more.

Another step forward. The voice again. He tried to ignore it, but he could not.

His next stop was a flattering one, causing him to drop Flamemon and falling to the floor.

The coolness of it felt good at first. But memories that weren't his appeared. Human killing each other. A scream. He could not place if it was from him or the memories.

He attempted to get up. The memory of his battle flashed by again. Another scratch on his face. He saw Flamemon after the pain pass.

A small source of strength appeared in him, as he groggily attempted to get up again.

Flamemon, he had attached to him quickly and the reason was simple.

The digimon reminded him of two of his brothers. He could not place who they were, his memory failing him, from the sheer pain and effect of this place. One was eccentric and a wannabe-hero, a bit of a hot-head, but he burnt brightly like the sun. The other a childish orange blur that was respectful to a fault, someone that was a joy to be around. It was a small comfort in this terrible place

A terrible landslide swallowing cars as it went down the mountain. Elec tried to push it aside as he slowly knelt down and picked up his digimon. Pain blazing through his arms as he found the strength to manage the task.

He had to save Taichi...So he took another step forward.

And once again the memory of his battle appeared to him. The cycle continuing as he kept moving forward.]

[Suddenly they'll be jolted out of their visions when they literally stumble over something in the darkness. The still form twitches (unseen to their eyes) and curls in on itself weakly.

Then, a voice calls out plaintively.]

A...Agumon?

[fuhrinkaed]

[Ed trips and falls flat on his face, so completely out of it he is at this point. At least the singing stopped.]

T--tch.. [He holds his head, nursing the bump he's just gotten.] Not Agumon... Taichi?

[selfabsorblight]

[And soon after, comes Elec Man comes stumbling about.

And uncermioniously trips onto the pile.]

What.

[digicourage]

[Taichi doesn't have the energy to do more than squint through the darkness, hoping to get a glimpse of the two people who've found him. But of course, it's not exactly possible.]

Yeah...that's me. [He coughs a little, throat dry from lacking water for several days.]

What...what're you guys doing here?

[fuhrinkaed]

We're here to save you, actually. [Ed is reaching around towards the source of the sound.]

Grab on to us, we've got a rope that'll let us get back out of here as soon as we pull it.

[selfabsorblight]

[A wave of relief passed through Elec Man as they found their mission goal.

Though he considered it a bit of a failure, due to how long it took him to find it and...that he was not the one to find Taichi first.]

[digicourage]

Save me?

Oh man... [The embarrassment in his voice is very obvious once it clicks.] Koushirou's never going to let me live this down.

[A thumping sound as his head drops back onto the floor. If any of them try to touch him and help him up, they'll find that his clothes are damp with blood in some places.]

I'm beat up pretty bad...I don't know if I can move. I don't want to leave Agumon behind either...

[fuhrinkaed]

There's three of us in here after you guys. I don't hear Hiccup... I'm sure he'll come out with Agumon. Definitely. [Ed feels the blood--it's bad. Taichi'd definitely been in there too long. He grabs as tight a hold as he can.]

Elec... you grab onto him too, then we'll both pull on three. Okay?

[selfabsorblight]

[Elec complies, as he frowns at the feeling of blood.

Anything leaking that much liquid was in bad shape.]

Let's get out of this ghastly place.

[digicourage]

But-- [Taichi's protests are cut short by a few rasping coughs. Maybe if he was his younger self, he'd insist on staying, but he can't make these two stay in here with him. It's already bad enough that they had to put themselves in danger because he jumped into trouble.]

Okay...let's go. [He stops.] Wait! Let's...wait outside until Agumon and your friend make it out. I'm not going back without him.

[fuhrinkaed]

[Ed nods in response.

Then after a second he remembers that there isn't any way anyone could have seen it.]

Yeah. That sounds good. [He pulls his ropeas hard as he can muster.]
