Though, you can't see 'cause this is text. =P] Amiko: Last time! On GINGA GIRI GIRI! SSJ: Hey, that's my line. Amiko: Oh quiet, just tell them what happened. SSJ: (sigh) Well, we decided to take a vacation. TM: Stuff happened, and rave clubs were destroyed. Davis: My real name was thus revealed and SSJ and I fought Dullahan. Cindy: As Amiko and I took on the Heartless... And not even shown... SSJ: Sorry, but if I showed it, we'd have another long monstrosity. TM: And all that happened while I was knocked out. Yes! (Everyone smacks TM.) TM: ...Okay! So anyway, on with the show! ---- Chapter 27: Survival of the Fittest ---- [Kino Tsumuji did not have an easy day ahead of him. He looked ahead and saw the wreckage of what seemed to be a giant electrical system. Wires ran around and into it, strewn all over the floor. Dents and burns ran across the metal ground, and many, many holes littered the area. Such was an abandoned warehouse where the Outlaws were rumored to have destroyed several androids. Kino looked down on the watch on his left hand. It was currently February 18, 2001 at noon. He looked back at the random mess in front of him. He saw decaying bits of pink flesh that seemed to have been part of a gigantic brain, with puddles of liquid still gathered in puddles within dents. He looked over his shoulder behind him, and addressed someone with him.] Kino: So Harrison, how much will it cost to clean up this place? (Behind him, Harrison Craig checked using his small PDA. He tapped the screen several times with his small pen-like instrument, then stored it away.) Harrison: A couple million. It's messy and the only incentive that makes people want to clean it is money. (Kino frowned.) Kino: Well, we'll just have to get some loyalists to help me find the chip. Harrison: You mean the Dimension-Shift™? Kino: Yes. It needs to be found and destroyed as soon as possible. Harrison: Then why not bomb this place? (Kino sighed, and gave a cold stare towards his assistant.) Kino: One wrong move, and a Gate could be created. Messing with alternate universes is not something I'm interested in. Mishima was blind to think it would help. (He then looked down at a burnt shell of a short android in front of him. Clearly written on the back of what appears to be a metal skull was "#2".) Kino: So much it helped these pieces of shit. Killed by kids. (Kino then kicked the shell into the large pile ahead of him. He glared at it for a bit, then turned back to Craig.) Kino: Make sure you find it and destroy it. (Craig nodded.) Craig: Understood. *** :: Meanwhile! Back to the Crew! :: [The Five weren't having the most comfortably boat trip, to say the very least. In fact, their ship wasn't in the best of conditions. There was a loud shot and a crack of light, then a line of lightning reached down near the boat. Then a splash and a crash as waves rolled onto the deck. Needless to say, the boat was being tossed around like a pokeball. And it didn't help TM any. The Five, minus TM, were in their room containing five beds. SSJ lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling with his bandaged hand covering his eyes. Cindy and Mokona held onto a light fixture on the wall in order to keep balance. Amiko was sitting on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Davis was busy playing a Game Boy Advance in the corner. He then looked up at SSJ, simply laying on the bed as the boat flipped, with the back of his hand covering his eyes.] Davis: How the Heck can you just sleep now? (SSJ didn't respond, nor did he move one bit. Amiko looked down at SSJ and said nothing as well. Several thoughts ran through her mind as she kept silent.) Amiko: (Sleeping? I don't think he'd be sleeping now.) (Still, he did not respond. Davis then returned to his game of Zelda: A Link to the Past as TM emerged from the bathroom, sick as ever.) Amiko: (Sick again? He's been sick a lot lately.) (But then, just as she thought that, TM let go of a trail of vomit on SSJ's boot. Still, Amiko observed that SSJ didn't attack TM in any way as he normally would. She just saw him sigh, pick himself off his bed, and proceed to the bathroom where he wiped off his boot.) Amiko: (SSJ's awfully silent. He must be deep in thought... What could he be thinking about?) (She then saw him sigh and glance at the window before taking over another bed. It was uncomfortably silent in the room as the waves curled around the boat. Amiko looked about the room, hoping for someone to say something. Finally, she opened her mouth to speak.) Amiko: TM? You feeling alright? (TM stuck his head up from the trash bin and glanced at Amiko.) TM: I hate this storm... The tossing and turning is not much of a help. (Amiko sighed and looked over to SSJ.) Amiko: SSJ! What's on your mind? (SSJ then pulled his hand off of his eyes, sat up gloomily, and looked at Amiko. Cheerful as a stoic, he replied.) SSJ: Just thinking about some things... Amiko: Like what? (SSJ then turned to the window, with everyone looking at him.) SSJ: We've been in this world a long time. I wonder how everyone at home is doing? (Cindy then spoke up over the waves.) Cindy: It got to you, too, huh? Amiko: (Why is he thinking of this now? This doesn't seem like him at all.) SSJ: I wonder if there's a way to end this and get home... (He then turned silent again, lost in his thoughts. Amiko could not get him to speak anymore, so she sighed and wrapped her arms around her bent knees, pressing her head over them. Then they all heard SSJ's voice.) SSJ: Hey... What the Hell is that? (Everyone looked outside the window, not seeing something very pleasant. For right beside the boat was a gigantic swirling vortex, churning and tossing anything nearby into its grasp. Quickly, the vessel and all of its passengers were tossed about as it capsized, and split into pieces from a rather large, powerful wave. The Five were scattered across the whirlpool, along with the other passengers, screaming and flailing madly. Amiko, for an instant, percieved a strange figure at the bottom of the whirlpool. Before she could make out the shape, however, she realized she was blue again, and teleported to fetch the other four.) *** :: Meanwhile! :: [Lo and behold, a lone figure came down the path from Osseke to Meria. The bangs of his black hair extended past the shadows covering his eyes. He was tightly wrapped in a black cloak, despite the heat of the long day. In the openings of his cloak, shiny tekkou were visible covering his hands, with clear bloodstains on them. He continued on, unhindered by heat or fatigue, with a trail of thick blood following him. And finally, he made it past the limits of Meria. He stood inside the rather small town near the mountains. He looked about, finally revealing his hands to the sunlight and pulling back the hood of his cloak. Clearly, it was seen to be Jallopsimon, his dim brown eyes in a deep glare.) Jallopsimon: Hm. So this is where Kerberos first faced off with them. (A slight grin then formed. He saw he was inside a rundown, abandoned ghost town. No one was around, and the various wooden buildings were dirty and broken.) Jallopsimon: And this is where that nameless dictator ruled. What a rut of a town. (Suddenly, a voice called from around him.) Voice: Rut...? (Then, with a small grunt, a figure emerged from the roof of the house just to his left. Jallopsimon only glanced through the corner of his eyes, but he clearly saw the various claws the figure had on his own tekkou. Jallopsimon only grinned with narrow eyes.) Jallopsimon: So, it's the Nishiten, or the Western Sky. Figure: So... You know us. Even so... I will not grant you passage... Who are you? (Jallopsimon jerked his head to the Nishiten member.) Jallopsimon: I am Jallopsimon. Rantmon's old assistant. Figure: Hm... I don't care if you worked for Rantmon himself... You may not pass. Jallopsimon: Tch. I must say I am not in a very good mood after I killed a Behemoth. So get out. You "legendary" band of theives are nothing compared to me. (The figure then prepared his fists for battle, as did Jallopsimon.) Figure: My name... Is... Gouki. What Master says is DIVINE LAW! (Gouki then gracefully leapt off the rooftop, with his nible arms preparing to cut through Jallopsimon.) Jallopsimon: Tch! Your divine law is my shit! (Jallopsimon then threw one lightning fast punch at Gouki. Faster than the fighter could see, Jallopsimon's fist tore straight through his gut and shattered his spine. With a gigantic spurt of blood, Gouki flew back and into the wall of the building he leapt off of, tremendously injured. All Gouki could do in such a state was merely mutter aloud.) Gouki: Gah... Beware... Fool. Nataku... Seiryuu... Genbu... Byakko... Master Suzaku... They can... Not be... Defeated. (Jallopsimon spat on the injured figure, and thus continued through the town.) *** :: Back to the Five! :: [The waves crashed on the shore of a beach some time later. Which surprised SSJ, to say the least. He awoke to the tide as it came and went, realizing the obvious: He was still alive. He sat up, hair and clothes full of sand. He looked around him, and conveniently saw all of his companions lying around.] SSJ: Well, that's one less thing to worry about. (Immediately, SSJ got to his feet and surveyed the area. Palm trees lay around the area, with the beach stretching on to his left and right without any hint of disturbance. A forest lay ahead of him, into the inner regions of what he expected to be an island. And then he saw the little tiny monster on his boot. He just looked down on it, seeing an innocent white ball with some long, wavy ears... or were they antennae?) SSJ: Oh geez... A digimon... (He then shooed it away, and proceeded to kick the rest awake. Twenty minutes and a couple of bruises later, Amiko, TM, Cindy, and Davis were awake, looking into the forest.) TM: So, should we enter? (Amiko, once again, was silent, her minds with thoughts.) Amiko: (We don't have much of a choice.) (But then the sound of a rather large object crashing onto the shore startled the Five. They spun around, merely seeing a large piece of equipment in the sand. They sighed with relief, and approached the dented, metallic box. Davis and TM hauled it furthur inland as SSJ, Cindy, and Amiko inspected it. Upon inspection, SSJ kicked the box over, looking at the bottom. He saw various dials and tuners, with several meters settled at 0. Along with it dangled a microphone. Amiko recognized it immediately.) Amiko: (A radio transmitter?!) This is a radio! Cindy: Really?! We can get help? SSJ: Nope. It's not connected to anything. (Cindy sighed and sunk to the sand.) Cindy: Great. (She then looked up past the forest ahead of them as everyone was busy checking the radio.) TM: I wonder if it can help? Davis: Besides being used as a weapon? Amiko: It looks like it might work despite being drenched with salt water... SSJ: Technology is amazing in this world... Cindy: Hey everyone! (The rest turned to Cindy, Mokona appearing out of nowhere to sit on her shoulder. She pointed to a faraway mountain peak.) Cindy: Those look like a satelite dish to you? (They all looked at the direction she pointed to. SSJ had to squint, but he was able to make out the shape.) Amiko: (It looks sorta like... something...) SSJ: Yeah... It looks like one. (The Five then nodded at each other. Davis then turned to SSJ.) Davis: SSJ! Think you can make a plot hole like before? SSJ: Well, okay. (Immediately, a black hole appeared under the box, and it slowly decends inside. The hole then closed over it as the Five stepped into the forest. SSJ then turned to Amiko.) SSJ: Hey, why are we not in our cursed forms? (Amiko smiled and explained.) Amiko: Oh, you have me to thank for that. *** :: Meanwhile! Back to Jallopsimon! :: [Jallopsimon had thus completed his thorough search of the town some ten hours and one more gang member after he arrived. It was now night in his part of the world in the ghost town of Meria, and he was, to say the least, angry. His gloves were so stained with blood that they were in need of cleaning. Unfortunately, water was hard to come by in the city. But then again, six people in a city, at least, needed water from somewhere. Even during the night, it was still hot.] Jallopsimon: Well, who cares. The Nishiten seemed to have emptied the city for me. (But as Jallopsimon neared the other end of Meria, he distinctly heard the rattle of footsteps ahead and behind him. He stood in a narrow street, with a stone wall on each side, with two gang members ahead and two behind him. He sighed and muttered.) Jallopsimon: Finally come now, Nishiten? (The tallest one of the four, who stood directly ahead of him, stepped forward to speak, wearing red all around and carrying a kodachi on each of his sides.) Jallopsimon: ..."Master" Suzaku, I presume? (He nodded.) Suzaku: You must be a moron to kill both Gouki and Seiryuu and think to have no reprieve. Jallopsimon: Tch. I kill who I please, and they were just in my way. (One of the thieves, dressed in black, behind him spat as he retorted.) Nishiten Member: That is no way to speak to Master Suzaku! (The one dressing in the darkest shade of blue beside Suzaku also yelled.) Nishiten Member: The penalty for that is death! (And finally, the last one behind him spoke, wearing white that clashed with the night.) Nishiten Member: Suzaku! Grant us permission! (With that, Suzaku nodded, glaring at Jallopsimon.) Suzaku: Genbu, Nataku, Byakko... We'll kill him easily. (Jallopsimon than glanced at each member from the corner of his eye. Who he presumed to be Genbu wielded a katana, but Jallopsimon saw the chains and flail connected to the hilt. Nataku spun two giant shurikens on each hand, ready to cut through Jallopsimon. Byakko merely cracked a couple of knuckles, and finally, Suzaku drew his twin kodachi.) Jallopsimon: FINE! HAVE AT YOU ALL! Nishiten: KO-RO-SE! [Subtitles: We'll kill you! (Not for sale or rent.)] (With that, Jallopsimon leapt straight into the sky, picking his first opponent. When Genbu's chained flail sped towards him, he deflected it with his tekkou, grabbed the chain, and flung Genbu into his own flail as he dropped to the ground. Genbu's shoulder tore away from the impact, but that did not stop the others from continuing their assault. Jallopsimon dodged both of Suzaku's kodachi, and then both of Nataku's flying shurikens. Then Byakko threw one punch at him. Down he ducked and off to his left he rolled as he saw the stone walls crumble to pieces. Then a fury of punches was thrown at Jallopsimon. As quickly as he could, Jallopsimon blocked with his tekkou. And then came the shurikens again. Jallopsimon backflipped off of Byakko's chest in time to dodge them, landing some distance away. But when the spinning blades came back at him, he stood in place. He gave a tremendous strike at each of the walls beside him, and tossed whatever broken stones there were at the shurikens. His plan succeeded, and they were deflected, much to his approval. He leapt up, grabbing each shuriken in the center, where a hole and grip were. He then flung the things at Byakko, who was still reeling in pain from Jallopsimon to dodge. Suzaku tried to warn him.) Suzaku: Byakko! (But it was to no avail, Byakko saw with wide eyes as the two shuriken came and tore him into seven bloody pieces. Blood flew all around from the torn body as the shurikens streaked through and toward the last two bandits. Nataku could not help but watch his weapons tear through his ally, and head straight for him. He dodged right for one of them, then left for the other, glaring up at Jallopsimon.) Suzaku: Nataku! Behind! (Nataku whirled around to see that his weapon had spun back and heading towards him. He ducked and dodged, proud of his agility. He glanced around, seeing both of his shurikens embeded in two different places on the walls. And then Jallopsimon, dashing over to Nataku, gave the strongest punch he ever gave straight to the thief's skull. It cracked like a nut, and blood and other vile liquids oozed from the dead man's nose and mouth as he fell to the ground. Suzaku was stuck in fear as he looked at Jallopsimon. Instilled with fear, he was frozen, staring at Jallopsimon's bloody tekkou. He then mustered the courage to rush at Jallopsimon, both kodachi swinging madly. An onslaught of slashes and jabs came from Suzaku as Jallopsimon jumped back to dodge. Quickly, Jallopsimon saw the chain of Genbu's sword, and kicked it up to his hands as he jumped back. He then launched the flail at Suzaku, which passed over his left shoulder. Jallopsimon quickly ran past leapt past Suzaku's right during his lapse in attack, with Suzaku's neck hitting the chain. Jallopsimon grabbed the flail and tugged hard on the sword and flail. Suzaku got a severe case of whiplash, yelling in pain from the cruel manuever. Jallopsimon finally finished by lifting him up by the chain and then throwing Suzaku over his shoulder, slamming the thief lord into the ground, face first, upside down. Then for good measure, he gave a punch hard enough to Suzaku's spine so it shattered. In severe pain, Genbu lay on the ground, one shoulder and arm less. Byakko was in pieces, and Nataku was in a horrible headache, to say the least. He then looked at Suzaku, lying paralyzed at his feet. He was done, finally, and panted with fatigue.) Jallopsimon: If you idiots just got out of my way, you wouldn't have been slaughtered. (Jallopsimon then noticed the two kodachi still intact by Suzaku's feet.) Jallopsimon: Heh. Looks like weapons I can use. (He then took Suzaku's kodachi and sheathed them with the scabbards Suzaku wore on his belt, placing sheathe and sword on his own belt. He chuckled as he slowly walked past the four bodies and towards the limits ahead of him. He continued on, unhindered by heat or fatigue, with a trail of thick blood following him. And finally, he made it past the limits of Meria.) *** :: Okay! Back to the Crew! :: (The Five were deep in the forest by now, and the sun was slowly crawling across the sky. SSJ sighed as he followed TM and Davis, feeling positively fatigued from hiking such a long distance. The various brushes and branches they passed were sliced away as TM used his katana as a gardening tool.) SSJ: Really, how big can this island be? (Cindy followed close behind SSJ, looking about the scenery.) Cindy: I guess the mountain in the distance makes this island pretty small. (SSJ leered at Cindy, but suddenly jerked his view ahead, seeing movement in the brushes.) SSJ: ...Something's there! (Immediately, everyone froze. Which wasn't very pleasant, to say the least, as a giant layer of ice encased the Five. And to make it any more obvious, it was very cold. Not wanting to have his body temperature drop any furthur, Davis 's hands burst into flames, and a massive aura of fire cut through the ice about him. Quickly, he turned to the others, and freed them from their icy encasement. SSJ fell to the ground, panting for air, as Amiko and Cindy leaned on trees nearby.) Amiko: What... The Hell... Was THAT?! (The ground then shook, as a monstrous voice rose above the trees.) Voice: I never thought you would return, Tamer! (Davis was filled with surprise as he stared up at a demon through the trees. With a shower of ice, the branches and leaves shading the crew were frozen solid, and broke asunder with one strike from the demon. They all saw it clearly, blue and familiar looking.) Davis: Ice Devimon...! We're at File Island?! (Ice Devimon grinned.) I.D.: Precisely. (Davis then glanced at the rest.) Davis: Be careful! This one's extremely powerful! I.D.: Oh, Rantmon will have a field day when I bring in your frozen corpses. I'll start with you three! (Then, the screen blurred and faded to the right. Music from the battle with Ultimecia/Edea played in the background as the battle began.) SSJ: I think he's been playing FFVIII too much... (Cindy, TM, and Davis appeared on screen to do battle with Ice Devimon, who descended in front of them.) Ice Devimon: I'll enjoy making your icy graves! (It was a shame, then, that SSJ made a plot hole open up behind Ice Devimon and swallow it whole. Cindy, Davis, and TM looked back at SSJ.) Cindy: Hey! TM: I wanted to kill him! SSJ: Oh, don't be so selfish. You would have had Amiko and I sitting here for a good ten minutes or so. TM and Cindy: Bastard! (TM then proceeded to beat SSJ with his sheathe as Cindy smacked him repeatedly with the butt of her gun. SSJ yelled as he tried to defend himself.) SSJ: You don't need to do all this! Cindy: Shut up! I'm getting my experience points one way or another! *** (Ten minutes and a bandaged SSJ later, the crew finally reached the base of the mountain. The wind was strong there, making everyone's hair fly about wildly. The roar of the wind filled everyone's ears as they proceeded onward, and looked up at a giant satelite tower.) Amiko: This looks really familiar... TM: Yeah... (After they all looked up the the two, where there was clearly a plate above, littered with various objects. Two shapes seemed to be moving up there.) SSJ: Come on. Let's go. (The Five then entered and stepped onto the elevator. Cindy pushed the lever on a console, and with a shake, the elevator began ascending. Then, when the elevator came to a sharp stop moments later, the Five ran up onto the plate, and reeled in surprise.) Five: You two?! (The two they spotted up there were taken aback as well. They were two familiar henchmen of a familiar villian. Their helmets that covered their eyes, and their red or blue clothing and armor made them easily recognizable as Biggs and Wedge, apparantly upgraded from their old Final Fantasy VI costumes. The two glanced at them all in surprise, and leapt back in mixed surprise and fear.) Biggs: You five?! Wedge: How?! (Biggs and Wedge looked at each other, but then got into battle stance.) Wedge: For Rantmon! Biggs: It's because of you all that we were demoted to such work! (The Five stood still, not bothering to draw their weapons or get ready at all. Their attention, sadly, was caught by a much larger thing flying behind Biggs and Wedge. The two took the hint and peered behind. The large claws and wings of the creature were clear in the bright light, and its lower body was like a large wasp.) SSJ: Damn it. Amiko: Elvoret... (TM then grabbed hold of the grated plate they stood upon.) TM: Brace yourselves! (The rest followed suit as a the beast bellowed a gigantic torrent of wind at them all. Biggs and Wedge were immediately tossed away, and the Five struggled against the violent blast. The winds finally settled, and the five looked up to see Elvoret fall to the ground down below, with a large burn on it. SSJ looked down through the grate, towards Elvoret's fading body, and then back to his friends.) SSJ: You guys hear anything? (Everyone shook their heads, and they got to their feet.) (Cindy looked up at the satelite, already in place thanks to Biggs and Wedge.) Cindy: You think we can use that? (The rest glanced up, and Davis nodded.) Davis: Yeah, I think we can. (SSJ opened a plot hole, and the radio console landed in front of them.) SSJ: Know anything about connecting this thing, Davis? (Davis nodded.) Davis: Working with Rantmon does wield some advantages. (An hour of connecting, testing, failing, reconnecting, testing, failing, disconnecting, reconnecting, testing, failing, kicking the radio, testing, failing, disconnecting, reconnecting, and many many curses later, Davis finally had the radio light up and static come through the mic.) Davis: Yes! Finally! (Everyone hopefully gathered around the radio as Davis turned the dials, hoping for any contact.) TM: What took so long?! Davis: You didn't think we're gonna use the satelite, did you? It was for TV broadcast in the game. Rerouting the electricity is hard, you know. TM: ...Quit trying to sound smart. (SSJ picked up the mic, putting it to his mouth and waiting for anything.) SSJ: Come on...! (Soon, voices came through the radio. It seemed to be the voice of a ship captain, relaying orders to his crew. SSJ pressed the button on the mic and spoke.) SSJ: Hello? Anyone there? (Voices of surprise were heard when SSJ let go. What sounded like the captain soon came through.) Captain: I'll have to inquire who this may be, over. SSJ: I am a survivor of the downed ferry from the Destiny Islands. There are five of us here... Over. Captain: What? More survivors? May I ask your position? Over. SSJ: We are at File Island. (He then turned to Davis.) SSJ: At least I think so. (Davis nodded, and SSJ returned to the mic.) SSJ: Over. Captain: File Island? Do you require assistance? Over. SSJ: Indeed we do, over. (There was a silence as the Five waited for anything. Soon, the captain came through again.) Captain: A vessel will be arriving in seven days. Godspeed, children. Over and out. (SSJ sighed, and put down the mic.) SSJ: A week... Amiko: We have to live... For a week?! Cindy: Damn it! TM: We shouldn't have taken that boat. Davis: Our trek will be delayed. SSJ: I guess for now... It’s survival of the fittest. (Everyone sighed. SSJ turned to Amiko.) SSJ: So, where can we get to that hot springs you mentioned? *** [The Five soon stepped out of the elevator and out of the satelite tower. There was a rumbling above the Five, who looked up to see a giant shadow above them, gripping onto the grated plate. Well, SSJ didn't see much, as a wrench hit him directly to the forehead, and he collapsed onto the floor. The rest glanced at him, then dashed away as the shadow let go and fell towards them. And rather unluckily, it fell right on top of SSJ. Smoke and dust were thrown into the sky, clouding the shadow.] TM: That had to hurt. Davis: ...Frankly, I don't see how he survives all of this. (The cloud cleared soon after, and a menacing red gleam shown through. The figure of a robotic spider was clear through the smoke, and fortunately, SSJ's unconcious body was imprinted into the soft ground. The four facefaulted, then got to their feet in preparation for the robot.) Amiko: The X-ATM... TM: I think we know the proper thing to do... Davis: Run away? Cindy: Sounds good to me! (The four then abandoned SSJ, dashing away from the mechanized spider. They dashed through the forests of File Island, with the crashes of X-ATM's four metal legs following behind.) TM: DAMN IT! Davis: GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF! Cindy: WHY US?! Amiko: DAMN ROBOT THING! (The robot proceeded to tear through the forest after them, knocking down trees, crumbling rocks, and destroying whatever got in its path. And finally, a gigantic blast engulfed the robotic insect. With a tremendous explosion, it tore to pieces, leaving a small crater in its wake. The four were launched from the power of the blast, and landed a distance away, looking back, and seeing the very familiar shape of a digimon, Wargreymon.) ---- To Be Continued ---- - ENDING SONG: I WISH - Hoshi ni negai wo kaze ni puraido noseta toki Kyou ga kesenai asu ga mieru yo kitto ne...
