Digital Mayhem

*Euryale shrugs & follows the footprints.*
============================================
*Seadramon wraps around Dagomon's arm & grinds his icy coils into it.*

"Let my friend go!"

Allina: <I wonder if Tae, Taiyo and Tsun---hey, hey! Anyone else see the pattern?>

=====

Razz: <Who are you?>

=====

Tae: <Aquilamon!>

*Aquilamon struggles to opens her wings and flies upwards, blasting Dagomon*

Aquilamon: <I'm tired..!>

Tae: <Digivolve! You can do it! Do you want Taiyo to get eaten alive? C'mon!>

*Allina is left talking to herself.*

=====================================================

*Euryale eventually sees a Golemon ahead of her strolling about. Both her and BlackAgumon begin to feel tired as dehydration begins to set in.*

=====================================================

Salamon:<They're going to die aren't they?>

"Who knows?"

=====================================================

*Zarek climbs out from under the bed dressed like he fell out of a western movie.*

Zarek:<Relax, Leomon he's one of the Chosen Ones.>

*Leomon lets go of its sword and rests its arms by its sides.*

Leomon:<All right then. Why were you under the bed?>

Zarek:<That's where the portal opened up. Now, new guy since you're here I presume the others are downstairs, right?>

=====================================================

*ShadowWereGarurumon struggles to stand and limps/runs at Dagomon. Seadramon's ice shatters as it pierces Dagomon's skin, it letting go of Taiyo dropping her on ShadowWereGarurumon. The mark on Tsune's back glows a bright blue visible through her coat, the words Warp Digivolution scrolling across the screen.*

OOC: Good God, finally.

<Seadramon, Digivolve to...>

*Seadramon's head crest hardens as his ears break apart, splaying into swept-back horns. A single, bolt-shaped horn juts through his head. Hair emerges from behind them. He about doubles in size, sprouting many more fins as his coloring changes to predominantly red.*

<MegaSeadramon!>

"Don't hesitate, MegaSeadramon! Destroy that sick freak! Him & his fetish for names that start with 't'!"

*Seadramon rams headlong into Dagomon's chest, wrapping his tail around the other Digimon's legs. As the horn pierces the slimy flesh, he practically whispers his attack, but makes sure to fire it at full-strength into the pierced Digimon.*

<Lightning...Javelin.>
===================================================
"(If we follow him for long enough, he's bound to lead us to water, don't you think?)"

<(I don't know. Do Golemon even drink? Maybe we should just ask him. Eventually, we're BOUND to run into some other friendly Digimon. Most of them are good, after all.)>

"(I don't know. If he turns out to be hostile & we destroy him, then we may lose our best chance to find something to drink. But if push comes to shove, we can always find a cactus.)"

*She runs after Euryale and BlackAgumon, 'cause Hitomi freaks her out*

=====

*He shrugs, leaning back against the wall. ExVeemon glares at Zarek*

=====

*Aquilamon degenerates to Hawkmon because nothing she had been doing for god knows how many posts was worth shit. She drags herself to Tae and faints in his arms. He stares at MegaSeadramon*

"Look out!"

*Stingmon spins around, flying into the air and raises his leg towards Growlmon's chest*

Sting: "Moon Shooter!"

*Growlmon stumbles and collapses and attempts to stand up.*

=====================================================

*The two eventually see the town Razz wandered into as the burnt, ash and soot covered ground is replaced by sand. Inside the town, they're greeted by the same digimon ExVeemon met.*

???:<Howdy, ya'll. You all look plum tuckered out, how about paying a vis->

*It's interupted by Zarek who's leaning out the window of the saloon.*

Zarek:<Revolmon, stop talking like that. Hitomi & Salamon? Where are the other two?>

Salamon:<Probably dying in the wasteland.>

Zarek:<That's unfortunate. Guess I'll have to drag them here kicking and screaming.>

*Zarek goes back inside and Hitomi & Salamon enter the saloon followed by Revolmon.*

=====================================================

*They pass through a grove of burned and decaying trees. The Golemon bumps into one and a large branch falls off crashing into the ground kicking up a cloud of soot.*

=====================================================

*Dagomon howls in pain, its tentacle fingers sliding out from between MegaSeadramon's coils sprouting claws and begin clawing & scratching at MegaSeadramon. ShadowWereGarurumon drags himself and Taiyo away from Dagomon and MegaSeadramon stopping at the lighthouse reverting back to BlackGabumon. Through the cracks in the lighthouse they can feel a breeze flowing through.*

Razz: <Are you going to tell me where to find LadyDevimon?>

ExVeemon: <Razz, the other humands are back.>

*Razz nods and prepares to walk out, staring at Zarek*

=====

Allina: <Ya know, that thing tried killing me and that other weirdo. Patamon can look for water. Hopefully. Right?!>

Patamon: <Why me!?>

Allina: <Cause BlackAgumon can't fly.>

Patamon: <Excuses!>

*He flies high into the air, looking around*

=====

Tae: <I'm sorry, Hawkmon.>

*Mega Seadramon slithers back, opening his mouth & firing a tremendous blast of freezing snow at Dagomon.*
=================================================
"(I say we risk it!)"

<(Alright, Euryale....)>

*Euryale walks up to Golemon, smiling & waving.*

"Hello, there! Sorry to bother you, but we're having trouble finding something to drink. Do you think you could help us?"

*Leomon exits the room and heads down the hall.*

Zarek:<Pretty sure you were already informed about where to find her. Of course it wouldn't be a good idea to go her castle all by your lonesome.>

*On the main floor, Revolmon goes behind the counter taking a mug and plate from their respective shelves and turns the tap on a keg, milk filling the mug which he slides across the counter to Hitomi. He then pours some on the plate and takes it over to Salamon who's sitting on the counter. The two stare at it.*

Revolmon:<It's quite all right. It's Welcome Milk.>

"Welcome Milk?"

Revolmon:<It's regualr ol' milk. but since milk is such a boring word we thought we'd make it sound more interesting.>

Salamon:<That's not interesting at all. It's just weird.>

Revolmon:<You're weird.>

=====================================================

*Patamon can see the Net Ocean as well as more scorched earth with the occasional elevation in the land. He can kind of see something that looks like a walking tree moving about. Golemon stops moving for a moment before spinning around with a massive haymaker.*

=====================================================

*Dagomon ducks its head and uses its arms to shield itself. When the barrage ends it spreads its wings and lifts off multiple cuts and scrapes leaking data cover its body as well as the massive wound in its chest pouring out data. Dagomon charges at MegaSeadramon, its clawed tentacles lashing out.*

<You don't have a very good sense of pattern recognition, do you?>

*MegaSeadramon slithers out of the way, lashing its tail across Dagomon's back.*
===================================================
*Euryale leaps back, holding up her hands.*

"Take it easy! We don't want to fight you if we don't have to. We're just talking, okay?"

"Finish him off, Stingmon!"

Sting: "Spiking Finish!"

*Stingmon extends the purple blade again and zooms through the air to Growlmon*

*Patamon flies back down and lands on Allina's head*

Allina: <O-M-G, Euryale's possessed!>

Patamon: <You're possessed.>

Allina: <Yeah, that did sound kind of lame.>

Patamon: <There's what I think is a Cherrymon up ahead.>

=====

Razz: <You love being vague and annoying, don't you?>

*He walks downstairs and walks past Hitomi, Salamon and Revolmon out to the street. ExVeemon flies back out through the window and lands next to him*

ExVeemon: <To the mountains?>

*Razz nods*

=====

Tae: <Go, Seadramon!>

*Growlmon explodes into data.*

=====================================================

*Zarek and Leomon walk down the stairs into the saloon.*

Zarek:<Someone should stop him!>

Leomon:<Someone such as yourself?>

Zasrek:<No, someone such as a Tyrannomon or whatever is wandering out there. But at least we know where two of them are, but we're nowhere near figuring out what happened to the three that disappeared.>

*Zarek and Leomon exit through the swinging doors.*

=====================================================

*The Golemon steps forward raising a fist and tries to slam it down on Euryale's head.*

=====================================================

*Dagomon rises higher, a trident materializing in its hands. It hovers above MegaSeadramon and folds its wings dropping, trident pointed towards MegaSeadramon.*

*They walk towards the mountains*

=====

Allina: <A Cherrym--I told you guys he'd try to kill you.>

*Euryale raises her arms above her head, catching the fist with both arm bracers. She digs her feet in the sand & spreads her legs, solidifying her stance as much as she's able to.*

"I'm sorry, but you made us do this!"

*Black Agumon digivolves behind her.*
=================================================
*Mega Seadramon slithers out of the way, blasting Dagomon with a Lightning Javelin.*

"That's how you kick digi-butt!"

Sting: "I'm a Digital butt-kicker!"

*Stingmon flys over confidently to Peter and instantly dedigivolves back to Wormmon.*

"Hey, what happened to you?"

Worm: "I'm hungry, I couldn't maintain that form."

*The portal that the Guilmon/Growlmon came out of is still open.*

=====================================================

*Outside the saloon a stage coach rolls by being pulled by three horse sized saw-horses.*

=====================================================

*Having said nothing about mountains, Razz is just wandering. He begins to note the further into the wasteland he goes the darker the sky gets.*

=====================================================

*Golemon pushes Euryale down with its other hand and draws its attention to BlackGreymon.*

=====================================================

*Dagomon smashes into the ground exploding into data. When the data clears a strange object is left behind that Tsune's digivice reacts to. Taiyo appraches MegaSeadramon carrying BlackGabumon on her back.*

"Ummm, MegaSeadramon? You wouldn't mind knocking down the lighthouse would you? I think there's something inside."

*Peter notices the portal*

"Hey, shouldn't that have closed with him?"

Worm: "I don't know, I've never seen a Digimon here before."

"It was kinda rhetorical..."

*Peter picks Wormmon up and goes over to the portal*

Worm: "You're not going to --"

*Peter shoves all fear aside to fill the excitement of going to the Digital World and jumps into the portal*

<Anything...for a friend.>

*He grins at Tsune which, being a sea serpent, looks absolutely horrifying. Tsune crosses her arms, face going red, & turns away.*

"Let's not make this any schmaltzier than it already is, okay?"

*Seadramon lazily flips his tail, pushing the lighthouse over with it.*
=================================================
"Don't divert attention from an opponent!"

*She grabs one of his fingers & snaps it back at the knuckle joint.*

*Razz and ExVeemon head North, towards LadyDevimon's territory*

ExVeemon: <The sky's getting darker..>

Razz: <...I know.>

=====

Allina: <...If that works, I'm going to be mighty mad.>

Patamon: <Same here.>

=====

Tae: <...My head hurts, what's with this place anyway?>

*Peter and Wormmon falls out of the portal face first into hot, desert sand. To his right his a sherrif's office and to his left is a saloon.*

=====================================================

*As they speak, their breath becomes more and more visible. From in front and behind them a ghost-looking digimon float up to them.*

Bakemon2:<Boogey boogey!>

=====================================================

*Golemon lifts its arm up picking Euryale up with it and proceeds to shake its arm trying to get her off.*

=====================================================

*The light goes out as the lighthouse falls, the top half falling into the ocean. A portal is visible.*

"That's our way out?"

<It could just detroy us.>
====================================
*She tugs on the dislocated finger, but doesn't get shaken off.*

"You want to try talking things out now?"

Allina: <"Hi, my name is Euryale and I like to hit things.">

Patamon: <"Hi, Euryale.">

=====

*Razz jumps back and ExVeemon slides in between him and the Bakemon, glaring at them with his fists up*

ExVeemon: <Are you enemies?>

=====

Tae: <Yeah.>

*He walks into the portal*

Bakemon1&2:<Dark Claw!>

*Out from under their cloaks a large decaying hand reaches out and claws at ExVeemon.*

=====================================================

*Golemon raises the hand Euryale is on and slams it on the ground.*

=====================================================

*Taiyo follows Tae into the portal. The portal spits them out in the middle of a forest clearing. Right in front of them is a raspberry bush growing around a lone electrical pole. In front of them is a cave, the sound of running water coming from it.*

"BlackGabumon, I love you, but you're kind of heavy."

*Taiyo puts BlackGabumon down who goes over to the raspberry bush sniffing it, Taiyo beside him sniffing it as well.*

"You think they're safe?"
