[RP Event] Drive City

[Tamake-Sempai]

*an announcement echoes over the city*
ATTENTION CITIZENS OF DRIVE CITY! MY NAME IS TAMAKE D KYOSUKE! I AM THE NEW RULER OF THIS CITY. SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE TO RESTORE THIS ONCE GREAT CITY. I CAN DO MORE FOR YOU IF YOU FOLLOW AND OBEY ME.  

[Dstdnt]

A figure in the shadows patiently watched Tamake and his three Digimon try to make a place of ruling from a once ruined city, rebuilding some of the buildings that was surrounding the thrown he had his Digimon to construct. The apparently human shaped figure held out a small device, pointing it towards Barbamon. The data scanned from Barbamon and Lucemon CM surged through the device rapidly, and unseen. On the Digivice, a crest of Greed appeared on the screen, absorbing the information of the scanned Barbamon and fed upon the information that entered upon Lucemon CM, feeding upon the data in different ways. The Digivice was concealed once again, simply awaiting for the time where it would find another Demon Lord Digimon to feed the Crest of Greed.

From the shadows, a voice echoed abruptly, sounding at a resonance that would bound off each building, not giving a clear idea to one as to where the figure was. "Showing by example what you can do to help isn't the best way to obtain followers who would obey you completely, especially since you would would want to rule a destroyed world, and remake it by taking credit for what you have restored, while it is simply just your Digimon who comply with the requests that you ask of them. Even if you are their Tamer, you simply proved that you take credit for first the work of the workers who built these architectures, and for your Gatomon's power," the voice sounded out, not too loudly, but loud enough for Tamake to hear, and in a very calm tone. Whoever this Tamer was, he was simply stating what he could see and foretold of what might happen. The figure dispersed from the area with a minuscule flash of light, occurring, leaving the Tamer who started his campaign for Digital World takeover to simply hear out his words.

[Exit to Network City.]  

[Tamake-Sempai]

I know that voice... but who is it.

((Enter from: Digital Battlefield))

▄▀▄▀Off in the distance, over the top of a rubble that was once known as Drive City flew a what looked only like a light getting brighter as it approached in the night sky. As it grew closer a rush of wind blew through the streets of the once beautiful city and one would soon realize what was approaching. If it had been the human world they might have run and hid at the sight of the large flying creature that was about to make landfall but the sight was not as unusual as one may think here in the digital world where monsters called Digimon were free to roam. As the shining pink creature with five sets of wings and two massive horn atop its head landed there could be no doubt about who it was. It was Magnadramon, but not the actual one that was a member of the Four Great Dragons, no there was something different about this one, it gave off great power, but it was no where near the level of the real thing. As it landed and laid down on the ground curled up like a large cat it began to glow even more intensely and began to shrink in size until it was just the size of a house cat. At this point if there had really been anyone around that area they may have noticed where the second light had come from. Standing next to cat, which was known as a Gatomon, was small girl who one could only assume had been ridding on the big pink dragons back. She had bright red hair that spiked in the front and flowed down from her ponytail in the back. She didn't appear to be any older than thirteen or fourteen but even for a girl that age she seemed kinda small. The only real thing that would give you any idea to who she might be was the digivice that was mounted to her wrist and had emanated the light which had brought about the small cat.

▄▀▄▀She bent down next to the cat and pulled her pilot goggles up off her face to reveal her creamsicle color eyes. She picked up the cat that was already fast asleep as if it had used all its energy on the flight to the city.

▄▀▄▀"Good work Reggie,"She whispered softly into the creatures ear.

▄▀▄▀The girl selected a button on the digivice and pressed it. The cat began to digitize as its data was sucked into the device. The girl set her backpack down on the ground and preformed a few stretches like you would if you had been stuffed in the car for a few hours and were finally free of the confinement. She let out a load sigh as she finished the stretch and knelt next to her pack to get something out.

▄▀▄▀"Ok, now what did I do with that note?"

▄▀▄▀ As she rummaged through she pulled out a few various items and papers, but none of them seemed to be what she was looking for. Perplexed she sat down and thought for a second when it hit her where she had placed "it".

▄▀▄▀"Oh yeah," she hastily stood up, unzipped her jacket and reached into her inner pocket,

▄▀▄▀"Success," she said to no one in particular as she began to unfold the piece of parchment. Using a nearby fire as a light she began to read the note.

-To Lira Regal, Regal Mercs Co.

▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▄▀▄▀▄We are sending this note to you in hopes that you will be able to help us with a predicament we have gotten ourselves into that we have been unable to solve ourselves. We cannot give you all the details of what has happened, but what we can tell you is what we need from you. A very important package was "dropped" in Drive City by one of our delivery men and he has failed to go pick it up. It will look like a delivery box and will be to our company on it. The item in question is very important to the livelihood of our company and we are willing to give you a hefty reward which has disclosed of the included piece of paper. We don't know how dangerous this mission may be but that's part of you job so we'll let you worry about that. If you accept our request than please return the item to us by the end of the month.

Thank you for your assistance,
JS Coorps

▄▀▄▀As she finished reading it again to make sure she hadn't missed anything that might help her find the item she folded it back up and replaced it in her green flight jacket pocket. Lira made a mental note of where she placed it this time walked back over to where she had left her pack sitting in the dark.

▄▀▄▀"Ok, Time to get to work!" Lira swung the backpack up around her shoulder and on to her back and was about to start off toward the nearest building still standing when she was stopped by the sudden sound of electricity and flames bursting into the air. What happened next seemed almost impossible for event he digital world. The ruined city around her began to rebuild its self as if a hole had ripped in the space time continuum and time was now moving in reverse. Like an action film playing in reverse the towering city built its self piece by piece, brick by brick until it resembled what it once must have looked like. Lira's jaw dropped and she was overtaken by the wonder of the event. It reminded her of the streets she had grown up in except brighter and more welcoming. It was a little unsettling though, what had caused this great event?

▄▀▄▀Then Digimon who had been hiding in the shadows of the city took to the streets, celebrating the resurrection of their beloved city. One or two of them even approached Lira and twirled her around while they danced. Lira didn't know what to think but all the festivities soon came to a halt when a voice came from what Lira could only figure where some hidden loudspeakers she hadn't noticed before.

▄▀▄▀"ATTENTION CITIZENS OF DRIVE CITY! MY NAME IS TAMAKE D KYOSUKE! I AM THE NEW RULER OF THIS CITY. SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE TO RESTORE THIS ONCE GREAT CITY. I CAN DO MORE FOR YOU IF YOU FOLLOW AND OBEY ME."

▄▀▄▀Lira was confused, who was this Tamake guy and how could he possibly have created all this? No one else in the crowd seemed to care about that though, they instantly accepted everything he said and even bowed down toward the voice as if to pledge their loyalty to it. The a group of them broke off into a chant of "Tamake the Great, Tamake the Great..." Until everyone around her was chanting along. She didn't know what was going on or why, but really it was none of her concern, she was here to do a job and none of this mattered to her. Besides as far as she knew this happened every Monday around here, it's not like she had ever had a job that caused her to come to Drive City before.

▄▀▄▀She decided to ignore the crowd and continue moving toward the building that had been standing before the city was rebuilt. Before it had looked run down, faded and in bad need of repair but now she stood outside the door of what could have been take as a five star hotel or a casino like the ones you hear about in Las Vegas. She knew either way they should have some kind of information both inside and she should be able to learn enough about the city to figure out where to look first for the object, heck they may even have found it for her and she might just be able to pick it up. She walked inside hoping she would find what she was looking for.

[Tamake-Sempai]

I am a servant to my people *Bows*  

[Little Pinch of Ginger]

The cold of the digital winter had long since seeped into every corner of the digital world.
The embrace of the darker season had left very little warmth that day in November, despite the digital suns attempts to cast light upon the desolate landscape beneath it and lure out tamers and digimons from their comfortable homes.

But there were those few, who despite the cold and wet weather, did not stay indoors.
War was, after all, not a patient mistress.

-Drive city center, top of skyscraper. Kaya -

"Wow, This is really happening, isn't it?"
A questioning child's voice rang out across the landscape as the speaker, a shy looking Bearmon wearing a grey baseball cap, stared down at the masses below. Armies of dark digimons were marching into the city, smothering all resistance on their way. Screams and cries of anguish rose from the streets below as the tamers and digimons willing to oppose the forces of darkness fell. Most of the citizens had surrendered already and accepted the presence of a new, strong leader.


The leader of the incoming army, stood on the same building as the little Bearmon, high above them on what had once been a magnificent skyscraper, but was now nothing but rubbles and scrap metal threatening to keel over. And she was no monstrous digimon, nor a god or a demon lord... she was a dainty little girl with red hair and amber eyes, watching the destruction much like the black queen in chess. Unmovable, silent, deadly - Waiting for the game to begin. A girl on a Birdramon flew by and both tamer and avian bowed their head in respect with a murmured
"Hail the Bloodsoaked Princess"

Kaya smiled quietly and placed a hand on her digimon partners head, carefully soothing the child digimons fears as caressed her partners coarse fur. Bearmon let out a soft purr and leaned against his tamers legs, resting his head on her leather clad thigh as the birdramon disappeared behind a tall building"Yes sweetie, it really is. The war has begun"

Kaya allowed herself a moment to gaze down upon the demon lords army, gathering and preparing.

She could already hear the sound of hammers and work tools put to use as the servant digimons and workers began to build the city anew. Creating a sanctuary for the dark tamers and their partners.
The city´s electricity would soon be up and running again, and life would return to the city once more.
The girl reached down to her belt and unclipped her digivice from it. The black and grey device gave off a hollow grey glow as she brought it up to her face and pressed a button on it´s side

"Tamake, Kaya here. I´ve arrived and I brought a little army to get us started. My generals should be bringing the rest soon"
The girl paused as her Bearmon pressed closer, frightened at the prospect of war. When Kaya spoke once more, her voice had left the professional, emotionless tone behind and grown teasing. The girls red lips curved into a dashing grin as her eyes sparkled with expectation

"So... You nervous yet Prince Tamake "The great"?"  

[Tamake-Sempai]

Me nervous *smirks* I have 3 Demon Lords now. Our victory is certain  

[Tamake-Sempai]

*Sarah walks up and stands next to Tamake, stitches going around her neck.* Tamake, is it really alright that I be alive?
*Tamake sighs* Your death was accidental so I would say yes.
B-b-b-but how did you bring me back?
The powers of light and darkness combined are quite interesting to say the least.
*Sarah remains quiet*
All will be explained, in the meantime, Kaya probably needs you. Here are your items *hands you a backpack with your glasses, laptop, digivice and cards in it*  

[Little Pinch of Ginger]

- Main Street. Sarah Conners -

"Sarah?"
A tremor ran through the shy, pale tamers body as she watched her former partner step out from behind an overturned vehicle lying in the middle of the cracked and broken main street and approach her, clawed hands reaching for her and eyes wide with amazement, fear and a stubborn spark of hope. The Andromons amour had grown dull, and where it had once been a shiny silver it had turned almost black with soot and oil stains. Dents and scratches from numerous battles seemed to be littered all over her companions' metallic surface. Andromons flesh was torn in places and his leg seemed as if it had been broken and badly mended months ago. He was rusty. He was dirty and mattered with blood stains. He was scarred and broken.
The perfect machine had turned into a wreck.

Sarah froze and watched, silently, as her digimon approached. He was limping badly, favoring the right leg, and the stench coming of him caused her stomach to turn. Even Andromons eyes seemed dull and dead.
"Sarah, is.... is it you? But how .. Sarah?"

The dark haired tamer swallowed audibly. A heavy, cold pain spread from her stomach to her chest as she fought the first wave of tears. She wanted to break down crying. No sight in the world had ever seemed so sad and painful to her as the sight of her dear Tech, her own digimon, halting before her, fingers mere inches from her body as he stared at her, chest heaving and body trembling, as if afraid that touching her would cause her to fade away and leave him all alone in the world once more.

His voice sounded nothing like the deep, smooth baritone she remembered - it was raspy and weak from disuse
"I held you.. You died. I held you in my arms. Not breathing.. I...I"

Sarah could take no more. She shifted her weight and threw herself into Andromons arms, pressing her cold form against him - She no longer had a heartbeat, her body was kept alive by digital energy and high-tech equipment now, and yet her heart felt as if it would burst with grief and sorrow for her digimon partners suffering.

"I-I w-was brought b-back Tech. I´m r-really here"

Massive robotic arms closer around her as the humanoid digimon clutched her to his body. The little girl barely reached the digimons chest, but it mattered not, Andromon picked Sarah up easily and stared at her, eyes veiled by a curtain of tears as he gasped for breath. Sarah allowed her own tears to fall as she let her head fall forwards and rest on her digimons broad shoulder, face hidden by her brown hair.

Her glasses nearly broke from the pressure as she pressed herself against her partner, almost like she wanted to crawl into his body and share his skin. They were alike now - Both were dead, but were kept in the realm of the living only by technology and pure energy. Their skin was the same sallow colour, and the stitches, though the ones around Sarah´s neck were darker and fresher, matched perfectly

"T-Tech, I am s-so s-sorry I d-died. I never w-wanted to leave y-you"
The digimon uttered no words, but still, Sarah felt him mouth the words "You came back, you came back" like a prayer against her skin.

Sarah wanted to tell him how scared she had been. How Tamake´s knife had felt as it sliced open her throat and she felt her blood flow freely from the open wound. Wanted to tell him how she felt when she realized she would die: Tell him how she had screamed soundlessly, unable to move or even pray for her life, as she passed on - But there were no words to describe her horror. No words good enough or descriptive enough to explain what she had felt when she died, nor were there any sentence or phrase accurate enough to correctly describe what she had felt when she woke up on a surgery table in her Master Machinedramons chamber, chest cracked open lungs, hear, liver all replaced by white and silver machines as she gazed into the eyes of her murderer. ....

Sarah dropped her backpack to the ground, forgotten, and neither digimon nor human said a word.  

[Tamake-Sempai]

Tamake smiled at the two, like seeing a family reunited, It felt good.
"Sorry about everything Sarah, the sovereign wanted to eliminate you, he said my crush on you was a distraction so he possessed my body."
A tear ran down Tamake's cheek.
"I would've done more to bring you back to full health but it took me a long time to find where Andromon buried you. You had deteriorated pretty badly, unfortunately because you are kept alive by digital magic you cannot leave the digital world, assuming we do ever find a way home... "
Tamake held back tears
"I'm really sorry. If you want, I can fix up andromon for you."  

[Little Pinch of Ginger]

-Main street, Sarah Conners-

Sarah flinched violently upon hearing the familiar male voice behind her and would have spun around had she not still been in Andromons arms. As it was, she was swung easily to the side by her digimon, whom towered up before her, gears spinning violently and pipes hissing as bursts of smoke rose from the openings in his shoulder plates. A fierce growl, half man - half machine, vibrated trough the humanoids chest.

Sarah allowed herself to be moved to the side by her partner, and stood within touching distance, hidden behind the machine digimons massive arm. The timid girl was struck mute by her partners aggressive behavior, and the other tamers strange confession, and thus said nothing. Truthfully, she was glad for it.. She was too frightened to speak.

Seeing the dark prince made her death seem so much more real. He was the one who had murdered her, on purpose or not. She could not tear her gaze from his hands - could not stop herself from staring at those fingers and picture her own blood on them.

Andromon blocked his tamers view, clearly reading her increasing distress as he monitored her vitals trough digitalized-core-scans.

"YOU!"
The andromons voice was heavy with hatred and accusation as he dug his feet into the ground: Almost like a bristling Fangmon protecting its cub. The machine digimon was using his height as an advantage, glaring fiercely down at the smaller human

"Stay away from her! You have no business here.."

A beat went by, and the andromon coldly added

".. prince. Go play war with the others and leave the peasants alone. I am taking Sarah to the Princess"

Upon hearing Kayas´ formal alias, a spark of emotion lit up Sarahs eyes and she managed to look away from the other tamers hands. How could the prince have a crush on her?

She was not beautiful like Ayame, the Ice dutchess, she was not even pretty or powerful like Kaya was - she was just a tech nerd, and she didnt even know Tamake as more than a brief passing silhouette in her life. And he had brought her back to life... life... as a half machine... a life in which she could never again go home to her mom and dad, or her siblings.
Maybe.. Maybe she should have stayed dead?

Tech spun around and placed a hand on Sarahs´ back, gently herding her along as he began to guide her up the street, away from the prince.  

[Tamake-Sempai]

"Soon Sarah... The 4 of us shall rule the digital world. Only when there is peace will you be able to see the good in me..."
Tamake puts his goggles on his head
"I haven't worn these for years... Now I'm ready"
Tamake turns on his radio headset with an evil smirk
"Kaya! Sarah is headed back your way, when she arrives ready the troops. We attack Network City at dawn."  

[Dstdnt]

[Enter from The Dark Ocean]

D traveled from The Dark Ocean to Drive City, a place he seemingly had planned on going to from the beginning of his conquest of travelling in the Island. He looked around, quickly seeing from afar the army that Kaya had summoned to assist Tamake would soon be moving, while it was currently remaining stationary, he could see Tamake along with Sarah and their respective Digimon, simply conversing with one another. Not wanting to go straight into a fight with an army all on his own yet, he quickly took to the building as terms of defense until he could quickly move onto another destination. Entering a nearby building to him, D noticed that there was a young female Tamer also located there along with him, noticing her for the equipment that she had worn, being quite equipped for the Digital World. Right as he entered, he noted a small located right under a table near the front of the room. As he looked Lira, he observed that she may have known of what was going on, but was more occupied with what was going on currently. "Hi there, looking for something?" D asked pondering whether if he should help this apparently new Tamer. "Also, do you know of what is going on outside?" D asked in a friendly yet calm tone, simply making a bit of small talk.  

[Tamake-Sempai]

Talks over a loud speaker
"ANY OF YOU WHO ARE UNSURE OF MY PLANS STEP FORWARD AND SAY SOMETHING. I WILL BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS YOUR CONCERNS."

◢╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗◣

▄▀▄▀ Lira was looking around the room for someone who could be of help to her when she was approached by another human. "Oh hi there, I'm actually have a mission i'm on right now and can't really be bothered right now. I was gonna ask you for help but I just realized who might be able to help me find what i'm looking for. Thanks for the concern but I'm gonna go ask him." Without giving th tamer a chance to speak Lira darted off toward the door and headed straight for the center of the city where she had heard the voice come from earlier. Upon reaching the center she saw two humans talking to each other and decided to approach the boy who seemed to be the one who had made the announcement. "Hello there, you said you could help those who needed it?" She looked him over not sure if she should trust this man, "I'm on a mission looking for something and was wondering if you could help me find it. it's a package for an employer of mine, I'm a Lira Regal Mercenary for hire and my mission was to pick up the package. Anyways I was wondering if you could help me, normally I'm not this forward about things but I'm trying to be fast and you seem to know what's going on." She waited for the tamer's reply.
