Old Ones Return (V)

Kylie:<wait, no, heal Euryale!>

*Cameron falls back to walk along side Thiera*

<Are you alright?>
---
<(I don't know...)>

Taiyo: "How bad is it?"

MagnaAngemon works his magic.

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

And so he begins to go home, cutting through the park.

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

Monodramon: "She'll be of no help."

*She looks at her D-Power.*

"They're crossing through the other park. Eat it, you stupid, over sized iguana."
==========================
E"Pretty bad. If they convert even half of the Digimon they destroy, they could have hundreds of thousands of monsters at their disposal. And though we beat VenomMyotismon, we didn't really make any net progress, because MaloMyotismon escaped."

A<I think she meant the burns.>

E"Oh."

*She looks at the burns on her arm, disappearing as a result of MagnaAngemon's magic.*

E"Looks like they're 2nd degree, mostly on my arms & legs. They're starting to feel better now, though."

*Thiera looks sick.*

T"We...we killed him...."

Cameron:<He kind of killed himself.>
---
*Lyra follows Hideki as she has nothing better to do*
===
<(Thank you!)>

Azuma: "He had tried to kill us on several occasions. And he almost succeeded once."

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

Monodramon: "They'll be coming for you."

Monodramon buggers off.

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

Hideki continues on his way, wondering why some strange girl is following him.

*Of course, as soon as they leave the park, they find the need to sneak past the patrolling Hypnos vans. Meanwhile, they see those 2 losers crossing the street in the distance.*
===========================
T"But we still killed someone! What if they put us on trial for murder?!"

E"Maybe we can request leniency on the grounds that there wouldn't be a court to convict us if we hadn't saved the world."

T"That's not funny!"

*DemiDevimon wakes up, fluttering her wings uselessly. Euryale turns around.*

D<Wh--what happened?! Did we win?>

E"Look, I hadn't planned on killing him, & I don't enjoy it, but there was nothing else that could be done. If we hadn't killed him, he would have killed us. And to be frank, he had a long history of destroying innocent lives & getting away with it. It was about time someone stopped him."

*She points at the ground because that's what you do when talking about stopping people for some reason.*

D<So...we won?>

Cameron:<We killed him in self defense.>

Crescemon:<Senthose is dead, and we won.>
---
*And so she crosses the street*
===
*Kotemon points at their tamers*

Azuma: "Except for his subordinates still being around. And I'm certain they won't fall into dissaray without him as leader."

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

Monodramon pulls Kotemon into some bushes because suspicious black vans.

Meanwhile, Hideki crosses the street.

E"There are plenty of others to take his place. Which is why we should be working on our next move."

A<I say we go in there, check it out.>

*By this point, they're nearing the castle. Thiera looks up for the first time, squinting.*

T"There are torches lit upstairs."
============================
*Tsune walks up to them from behind as their partners disappear out of sight.*

"...What are you DOING?"

*Kotemon turns around to stare at her*
---
Cameron:<So it's occupied.>

Taiyo: "Not by them, right?"

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

Monodramon: "Avoiding capture."

E"I doubt it. There are no military defenses around, & no one came to Senthose's aid. But there's only one way to find out."

*She pushes with all of her might against one of the doors, barely managing to open it wide enough to walk through. Inside are 2 side halls going to parts unknown, a corridor heading back, & a curved staircase at either end of the foyer heading to a 2nd floor with an identical layout. Lack of windows make it very dark.*
===============================
Ts"Well, have fun living in that bush, I guess."

<(Could you help us get to our partners? Please?)>
---
*Crescemon, who I assume can also see in the dark, looks around*

Taiyo: "You don't think this could be another Servereigns home, do you?"

E"No, we're not in that part of the Digital World anymore. We should try to find the source of that light."

*It looks just like I said it does. Euryale heads for one of the staircases. Agumon follows.*

A<I think it was to the right.>
======================
*Tsune frowns deeply & tosses her backpack down, then points at Kotemon.*

<If you...do that...thing where you get smaller, then you should be able to fit in here. Just don't get my stuff dirty.>

*Kotemon regresses to Kapurimon then hops inside*

<(Thank you!)>
---
*The others follow her up*

They too follow.

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

Monodramon watches the scene as if it's all new to it.

*Tsune glares at Kapurimon getting grass stains on her books, & then glares at Monodramon.*

Ts"I don't have all damn day!"

<Hey! That girl's yelling at a bush!>

*And so Hypnos Agents are running towards them.*
=========================
*As they walk down the hall, they see that the light is provided by a DemiMeramon, which floats beside the head of a human wearing a dirty, ripped blue uniform & a brown cloak that's also seen better days. He turns towards them, & Euryale points.*

E"Hey, you look just like an older version of...that guy! We never did get his name, did we?"

???<You have traveled between more dimensions than just the digital & the material. Who are you?>

A<We could ask the same question!>

???<I was an observer, but now I will be your savior. You may call me King Drasil. Perhaps you can serve me. With some alterations to your data, some of you may be able to Digivolve to Royal Knights.>

*Euryale looks down, & taps Agumon on the head.*

E"You have any idea what he's talking about?"

A<I've never heard of King Drasil OR the Royal Knights.>

Drasil<The most powerful knight-type Digimon, organized under one banner. I have already obtained Alphamon, Crusadermon, & Gallantmon. In another Digital World, I once had 13 knights, who obeyed my every order without question.>

*Cameron takes a step back*

Crescemon:<Any upgrades you could give us would be very appreciated.>

Cameron:<Serve you?>

OOC: The Royal Knights were either Holy Knight-type or Warrior-type depending on the region.

Azuma: "What about the other ten?"

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

Monodramon bears its teeth, either at Tsune or in regards to the Hypnos agents coming down upon them.

Monodramon: "I said they'd come for you next."

Monodramon withdraws further into the bushes and takes off in the direction Hideki had gone.

OOC: Care not. And Lesbian Omnimon is probably happening. Technically WarGreymon can just digivolve right to it, according to the card game, so just be glad that Renamon is included. However, any DNA Digivolutions named in this post are not set in stone.

"Oh, I am going to send you back to the Digital World in PIECES!"

*She partially zips her backpack & throws it over her shoulder, running after Monodramon.*

"Gomamon, come on!"

*Sure enough, Gomamon swims out & jumps on her shoulder.*
==============================
*He holds a hand out to each Agumon & Renamon.*

Drasil<With these 2, I can recreate Omnimon.>

*He then points to Biyomon & Salamon.*

Drasil<Using them, I can create a Silphymon, who in turn could Digivolve into Dynasmon. I will have to scour the Digital World to find the rest.>

E"By that time, it would be too late for the Digital World. In fact, the enemy is on their way here right now. They might stop you before you can gather any more knights."

Drasil<You underestimate my power, human.>

*He holds up a hand & a data stream shoots out of it, passing through the roof & creating a portal. Within it, landscapes whiz by at a blur. King Drasil steps out of the beam, which had engulfed him as it grew to full size. Euryale steps back, looking shocked.*

E"Who...what ARE you?"

Drasil<In addition to being able to create & alter Digimon, I can also control the world you see before you, & appear anywhere within instantaneously. In this world, my power knows no limits. I am King Drasil. And I am God.>

OOC: What about Varodurumon?

Cameron:<Biyomon says no.>

Biyomon:<Please don't smite him.>

*Crescemon bows*

<My lord, if you are God, could you help us save this digital world?>
===
*Kapurimon quietly sits in her backpack*

Renamon looks confused while Salamon looks both confused and horrified.

Taiyo: "But Renamon said the Sovereigns were gods."

Renamon: "I said they were viewed as gods."

OOC: Not a Royal Knight, so he wouldn't mention it.

A<I don't think we should ally with this guy, it's like we'd be betraying the Sovereigns.>

D<Well, I didn't take orders from the Sovereigns, & I'm not about to take orders from this jerk!>

Drasil<The Sovereigns, if they even still exist, have failed you. They do not have the powers that I possess. In the end, they are just ordinary Digimon.>

A<You'd better watch yourself, Pal!>

Drasil<Are you threatening me? That is...unwise.>

*Euryale looks around at all of the people shouting out different things, confused & indecisive. She steps between Agumon & King Drasil, holding a hand out to each of them.*

E"Wait, let's take this slow. The last thing we need is a holy war. We have other enemies to worry about."

*As if on cue, the wall explodes. Euryale ducks & covers her head with her arms, but is still pelted by some pretty big chunks of stone. The stones heading for King Drasil just stop in midair & dissolve into data before they hit him. He looks out to see a line of converted Tankmon, with a LadyDevimon at their head.*

LD<Shoot again! Keep firing until they can't move, but try to leave a few alive for me to take home & play with.>

*The Tankmon fire another salvo at the castle. LadyDevimon smiles & licks her lips.*
==================================
*Eventually, they come to a crowded bridge of onlookers, who of course start yelling about a weird monster coming towards them. From somewhere unseen, a sound system kicks on, amplifying a man's voice.*

<PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM THE CREATURE, SO THAT WE MAY SAFELY EUTHANIZE IT! IT IS A THREAT TO ALL OF THESE PEOPLE. PLEASE THINK ABOUT THEM. THANK YOU!>

*Since she's close enough, Tsune kicks Monodramon in the tail.*

Ts<What did you do to piss them off so bad?!>

Everyone Digivolves sans, Taiyo who Biomerges.

MagnaAngemon starts off with Heaven's Gate while Angewomon fires arrows at the Tankmon.

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

Monodramon: "Existed in your world."
