Mina

Raazi scanned her area, trying to find any point of advantage. There was an alley a little farther, maybe if she could cross through it, she could get back to her own streets. "You just gonna stand there or what?" the boy was impatient. He clenched his fist as the girl behind him relaxed to watch the show. Raazi grimaced. This was disgusting, the way that idiot boy was desperate enough to slave for the girl. She knew she had to get to the alley and into the crowds of her own street, where she could either loose these people or take an element of surprise. The boy began to step closer. Raazi turned on her purple heel and lithely sprinted in the alley's direction. "Hey!" Raazi heard footsteps as the boy took off after her. She suddenly stopped and made a daring sharp turn toward the alleyway, nearly bumping into someone else. The two stared at eachother at first, stunned. Then Raazi shook her head and continued as her attacker got closer. The fire escape ladder, Razzi jumped up to it, her foot nearly on the wall. She began to lift her other foot, but she couldn't. "Gotcha! Now come down!" the boy grinned in triumph as he clutched Raazi's foot. "Get lost!" Raazi kicked with the other foot. It caught the boy in the cheek, the heel grazing his skin. He hissed in fury. Raazi used this chance to climb again. "Ahh..." Pain shot up Raazi's ankle. The turn must have done something good on her ankle. "Going down!" the boy instantly dragged Raazi down in her moment of weakness...

Millenium Sheild or that with some magnet force thing.

The last of the geese flew past the horizon and a couple of crows disappeared into their own nests before Raazi stood up. She turned her back to the ocean in front of her and walked down the street. Slowly, she looked around herself, the street seemed empty but for a couple people. Raazi was still careful, she had delibrately stepped into enemy territory on her way to a new bird watching spot and now she expected the any member of the street's gangs to pop up. Raazi's hard spirit matched her love for birds. She adored the creatures for their freedom and carefreeness.Raazi breathed a sigh as she neared the end of enemy street, it was too quiet an evening to ruin with a fight. A few more blocks.... "Hey!" Raazi whirled around. A guy and girl stood behind her. "You don't belong here." shouted the boy. He pointed a ringed hand at Raazi. He struck an impressive pose that was either ment for show or he wanted to prove himself for the superior looking girl with him. [I]Well,[/I] thought Raazi. [I]If it's a fight they want, they'd better have it.[/I]

Magnadramon fought fiercely. The outcasts began to fall. Harpymon with charred wings flew about limply, screeching hideously. Even inside the predator digimon, Masahiko shivered slowly. Meanwhile, Tanemon found himself in IceDevimon?s claws. The master of the fortress edged out of the enclosed area to the larger corridors. The Outcasts had not spotted the sovereign in Icedevimon?s chalky claws?yet; it was only a matter of time before they did. Tanemon, peeking from between the claws saw Icedevimon tear through an unidentifiable digimon and walk on what seemed like an endless corridor. ?Where are we going?? asked Tanemon. He wasn?t frightened for he knew Icedevimon wouldn?t harm him, but the corridor itself seemed so long, that the other end seemed?. endless. Icedevimon didn?t reply right away. He kept walking as quickly as possible like one who wanted to hurry, but couldn?t run. ?We are going to the fortress shrine.? He said finally. ?I know someone there who can help you, perhaps to evolve.? Tanemon?s eyes grew like ripe almonds. ?Evolve back to my true form?? ?Maybe.? Icedevimon tersely replied as he continued his half hurrying stride. ********** Bright white shapes could be seen spiraling down to the new snow. One after the other alighted among some fallen ruins. After them followed three giant dark creatures. Harpymon began to sniff and search the ruins of what once used to be the shrine of the fifth sovereign. Cyberdramon also landed with his reluctant soldiers, BlackMetalGreymon and Megadramon. The three scanned the site. ?You brought us here for this?? asked Zilla, the Megadramon. ?Not this.? Said Cyberdramon, casually. ?But for what used to be in this.? Yoshi and Zilla stood silently and contemptuously, waiting for an explanation. ?The fifth sovereign,? said Cyberdramon. ?is thought to have great powers, surpassing those of the others. If we can somehow find him and present him to Master Velgmon, he and another ally can make life better for all the digital world by removing all unnecessary things.? ?You plan to catch a [I] sovereign [/I]?? asked Zilla in disbelief. ?A sovereign for Velgmon?? ?The Digimental of the fifth sovereign was here in this shrine.? Said Cyberdramon. ?But it was lost in a fight with Ebonwumon. You two shall help find the Digimental of Power. Through the Digimental we shall control the sovereign.? *********** It seemed to Tanemon that he and IceDevimon had reached the end of the endless corridor. Tanemon couldn?t tell how much time had passed. IceDevimon stopped in front of a shrine door. The door of ice melted away as he let his long fingers run across it. Inside was a blinding display of ice. Frosted columns held up the structure and various scrolls lay on a glassy surface. At the far end of the room, a figure lifted its head and glanced at the visitors. Icedevimon bowed as the figure came hurrying up. Tanemon saw a wizard digimon, frosty white in color. He carried a wand with a snowflake at the end glowing like a star. ?Sorcerimon, I hope you know about our situation.? Said Icedevimon. The wizard nodded gravely. ?I know,? he said. ?there isn?t much time and this one needs all the help we can give.? ?Sorcerimon is our wizard and friend.? Icedevimon told Tanemon. ?He will do all he can to help you.? ?Your help is appreciated.? Said Tanemon. ?I was told you can help me evolve again and I promise I will get rid of these Outcasts once in my true form.? Sorcerimon stared at the In-Training for a moment and shook his head. ?My power is not so great as to help you become the mighty Ebonwumon.? He said. ?I will be able to give you enough to reach rookie and maybe champion if the need arises, but,? continued Sorcerimon, looking at Tanemon?s stricken face. ?I know of someone else with greater power who can elevate you to mega.? ?Who is this person?? asked Tanemon. He was desperate to regain his powers. ?Not a person really.? Said Sorcerimon. ?But more of a?. it is hard to explain.? ?Well, how would I get to this thing?? asked Tanemon. Sorcerimon rummaged among some objects and handed Tanemon an orb with an inner fire. Tanemon stared at it with wide eyes. A point of light inside the sphere enlarged to envelope the tiny sovereign. The light broke off and Tanemon came forward as a strong new Aurumon. ************ The Harpymon seemed to have picked up a trail. Cyberdramon turned to their leader, who bowed demurely. ?Have found a scent.? She informed Cyberdramon efficiently. ?Digimental very faint, but sovereign?s power still strong.? ?Picked up the sovereign Ebonwumon?s trail.? Said Cyberdramon, grinning slowly. ?He?s bound to be weak and his capture should put me on Velgmon?s good side.? Zilla and Yoshi looked up. So they were going to find Ebonwumon. ?Perhaps he could help us.? Said Zilla. ?How can you be sure?? asked Yoshi. ?We?ll be lucky if we even find him alive.? ?I just know.? Said Zilla. ?For the time being, we might as well play Cyberdramon?s game, it?s the only thing that could keep us alive.? Cyberdramon walked up. He grinned toothily. ?It hurts me that you aren?t so open anymore.? He said softly. ?You told me everything when we were young.? Yoshi raked his claws across the frozen ground. ?Before you betrayed our tribe to Velgmon.? He spat furiously. Cyberdramon almost looked taken aback, but recovered. ?Come then, we fly! We?ve found the sovereign.? *********

They're so cool. I wish I could do that.(How many times have you heard that?)

Thank you so much for continuing my part, Sage. I've had a major case of writer's block for the past few... months? I'll write soon.

OOC: I'm back. Sorry to all, I left for a while. My home net is currently disconnected, so I'll have to use other means of internet acess. I'll be like this for a while. ********* Eyriemon watched Mina and Felismon walk down the mountain path. [I]They're wasting their time.[/I]he thought. [I] They'll never face the threat themselves.....can they?[/I] Eyriemon began to doubt himself. He remembered the devas told him about other human digidestineds who were helping the world. Maybe it was'nt right to scorn them so. [I]Arrgh...great time to go soft![/I] thought the gryphon digimon as he raced off to Mina and Felismon. ************* "I knew he'd return!" said Felismon, lazily smiling at Eyriemon. "Oh shut up." muttered Eyriemon. "I only came because the devas said I had to!" Mina also smiled. "Isn't it great now, there's someone to argue with?" "Heh.." Felismon grinned. "So what's our assignment?" asked Eyriemon. "It had better make sense." Felismon and MIna shrugged. "The signal seems to be changing frequency, so we're currently following that." said Felismon. "You wanna help?" "Not like I have anything else to do, now that my home is choked full of control spires." said Eyriemon, taking the lead. ************* OOC: Gotta go. I'll add later.

Apsaramon and Rakshemon sighed. "You have a buddy with you, now?" asked Apsaramon, eyeing the digimon resentfully. Ankylomon returned her disgust. "You may have defeated me before, but I think you'll find Golemon more of a challenge." He clapped his armored paw on the ground and Golemon immediately complied by racing forward with menacing power. RazeGallantmon leaped out instantly. "Solaris Burst!" An energy beam made contact with Golemon, illuminating the dark underground. The crystal in the mega's hand flashed violently. "Wow," Apsaramon marvelled the power of the crystal as she added her own attack. Ankylomon retreated into darkness as smoke spread thickly into the space. As the smoke cleared, a giant shape stood as if immovable. "What?" Golemon still stood despite the attacks.

"You!" came an irritated snappy voice. "Get out and stop that noise!" Mina and Pantheramon turned to face a purplish gryphon barring the cave mouth. Their moment of relief had been short lived. Pantheramon contemplated the new digimon. "Eyriemon..." she said. "Yeah, so what?" replied the gryphon. Pantheramon stood upright, trying to be polite. "I am Pantheramon and this is my friend Mina, I would like to know which noise you are reffering to." "There is no one else who could make that noise." said Eyriemon. "Listen for it." Pantheramon cocked her head while Mina watched her. "It does sound like a signal." Pantheramon admitted. "But why didn't I notice it before?" "We have to check it out." said Mina. "Eyriemon, you are coming with us aren't you?" Eyriemon snapped his beak. "Those devas sent you." Mina nodded affirmation. "Yes, they did." "Well, you an tell them I can fight for myself." said Eyriemon. "I don't need any help." Mina and Pantheramon sighed. Each remembered Mihiramon's words on Eyriemon's temperment. "And what are those?" demanded Eyriemon, indicating the mountains slopes below. Pantheramon froze as needles of black began to rise. "Control Spires." she managed to say before she shrank back to Felismon. At this Eyriemon's eyes flashed. "Who is responsible for this?" he raged. "I hope you don't plan on tearing after them yourself." said Mina, clutching Felismon. " Come with us and perhaps we can find something." Eyriemon shook his mane. "I said..." "Fine!" snapped Felismon. "I you want to stay here, fine. We're leaving!" She stalked out of the cave, followed by an uncertain Mina. "Felis, you sure..." "He'll come." said Felismon. "Just wait." "If you say so." said Mina slowly. "Let's go find our friends and figure out this signal."

Mina looked down from a great height as she flew on Pantheramon's black back. The tallest trees appeared like shrubs in the forest below. "Pantheramon, please descend a bit." said Mina, having dificulty breathing in such thin air. Pantheramon complied to her request. "We're here." "Already?" asked Mina as she eyed the jagged range of the mountains before them. The sun directly behind the peaks, its rays dancing slowly. Pantheramon alighted on a rocky and shrubby crag. Mina dismounted her back. "So where do we begin?" Pantheramon sniffed the air. "No specific scent." she said. "We'll start near cliff like areas. Many gryphon types like Eyriemon nest in such places." "Very well, I suppose." said Mina. She didn't entirely love the idea of going among the cliffs. The mountains were real high and if a fall didn't kill you, some of the dagger like rocks sure would. "Don't worry." Pantheramon assured. "I'll help you out." ********** With the sun overhead, Mina carefully climbed down a steepish rock and landed among some shrubbery. Pantheramon shook her head. "No nest here." Mina groaned slightly and wiped some sweat off her face. "This isn't going anywhere." Pantheramon looked with concern at the human. "Come on." The black cat spread her silver wings and took off toward a cave she had spotted. "Much better." said Mina. The cave was fairly big and the mud floor looked scattered and grooved. "Someone's been here."

Mina walked through the city with a black winged cat at her side. Sounds of the city floated around them with each passing. "It is so good to be back home." said Felismon. She didn't sound that happy, Mina was sure she had detected a hint of disappointment and sorrow in the digimon's voice. "You still miss him, don't you?" Mina referred to one of Felismon's very close friends. "I never thought I really would miss the featherbrain." answered Felismon. "Why did Avemon want to go for further training with the devas, anyway?" "You should know." said Mina, passing by a digimon in a fruit booth. "Probably wants to show off." muttered Felismon, but whether she liked to admit or not, she loved her friend. ************* Mihiramon snapped at another digimon in the crowded market. Everyone was obliging to give him space because of his status, but the streets were too crowded and the deva's patience was wearing down. "Sorry..sir." "Move it." After a few moments of discomfort, Mihiramon gave up and opened his wings. "Why didn't I think of this?" thought the tiger deva as he soared over the market. He spotted someone, a human. The deva alighted beside Mina and Felismon. Mina stepped back hastily. "Mihramon, you're looking well." Mihiramon smiled tightly. "Thank you, now I have a mission for you two." ************ Felismon brightened. "A mission? Avemon will come too." Mihiramon shook his head. "No, he is with Sinduramon on an ....errand." Felismon's ears sank down. "But, " the deva continued. " The devas have you a new partner. That is if you can find him." "We will." said Mina. Mihiramon nodded. "Name is Eyriemon, he is a good fighter, though of a tough disposition. You will find him waiting near the mountains. He is updated and will help you in anyway." MIna and Felismon looked at eachother. To the mountains, then!

The stone which was lying dormant suddenly awakened in a flash of light. Razegallantmon reached out to it. It practically jumped into his hand. At this radiation of energy, the mega digimon's biomerge bond strengthened. "Good." said Apsaramon, nodding. "I think it likes you." "Let's go before something comes." said Rakshemon. The trio turned to leave. "Well well well." said a resentful voice. "So you are all back." The Ankylomon came back. Behind him followed another rock digimon.

Ooh another one. Hope I can stay for sometime on this. Name: Mina Digimons: Rookie: Felismon,Eyriemon. Champions: Pantheramon, Daggermon Ultimates: Sekhmemon, Aryamon Megas: Ahmaimon, Ishtaramon. Background: Mina did come from an alternate reality at one time. She is friendly with people if they're noce to her. Her digimon before included a bird type named Avemon, but somehow got replaced with Eyriemon, a gryphon type. She goes to the digiworld with Felismon and then finds Eyriemon.

OOC: I'm back..for some time, I hope. ******* Labramon laid her head on her paws. She sniffled halfheartedly. She felt bad leaving her friends to go in themselves. Perhaps Rakshemon was right; she wouldn't leave anyone behind and RazeGallantmon was a mega powerful enough to protect anybody. Besides, they needed her powers to find the crystals. Labramon got to her feet and went toward the ruins. [I]'Hold on guys, I'm coming.'[/I] *********** Apsaramon traced her hands along the designs of the tunnel walls. Intricate patterns twisted about, like an illustrated story. "Ironic that a place this horrible could hold such beauty." said Rakshemon, glancing over. RazeGallantmon still followed his illumintated staff. "Apsaramon." he called to the angel digimon. "Are you noticing something about this liiustration?" Apsaramon nooded. The art leads us right to the crystal.

I beleive it was 900.

RazeGallantmon, Rakshemon and Apsaramon picked their way through the ruined buildings. Apsaramon flapped her 4 wings irritatedly. "If Labramon was here, we'd have a much easier time, but no...." "It wasn't her fault." said Rakshemon. "She didn't want to be afraid to even go near her former 'home'." "When I find who abused her, I'll make sure they won't live till their next birthday." muttered Apsaramon. RazeGallantmon stopped. "Are any of you picking up something?" Apsaramon and her twin listened, their senses awake. "A digimon?" "Perhaps." said RazeGallantmon. "Let's go." The trio came to a dilapidated platform. It was flat for the most part with a few broken areas. "It is coming stronger." said Apsaramon. "Ahhh..." Rakshemon spun around. Where Apsaramon stood, there was gaping hole in the ground. Sounds came from the hole as Apsaramon went down. "Apsaramon?" "Oww..here." came Apsaramon's voice. "Uggh, what a wierd place, I must have stumbled on to some inhabited area." "The crystal could be in there." said RazeGallantmon. "Be there in a minute." Rakshemon followed the mega into the hole. *************

Rakshemon went as fast as she could with her companions. She couldn't keep up with RazeGallantmon for she was levels lower. Labramon hitched a ride with Razegallantmon, sniffing for a stronger scent of the crystal. "Found it!' RazeGallantmon stopped and waited while Rakshemon and Apsaramon caught up. "So, let's go." said Rakshemon, slightly out of breath. "Are you sure you are able to...?" RazeGallantmon looked at the champion with concern. "Yes, I can still fight." said Rakshemon. "Labramon?" Labramon sniffed and flexed again. She pointed over to a large ruined area. It looked like a long fallen primitive city. Apsaramon and RazeGallantmon started forward with caution. Rakshemon waited for Labramon to climb on her back, but Labramon shook her head. "I'll stay." she said. Rakshemon looked at her strangely. Her senses perked up as hints of fear radiated from the rookie. "Why are you afraid?" asked Rakshemon. "We'll protect you, like we did before. I promise we won't use you." Labramon looked sulkily at Rakshemon. "I know. It's just people at home are not like you." "Home?" "They hate me." said Labramon, pinning herself firmly to the ground. "Because I left them, they'll hate me more...and the human will hurt me." "Labramon...." Rakshemon tried to coax the digimon. "No, I'm not going there...again." said Labramon. "I'll wait here." Rakshemon looked at the other two digimon. Apsaramon shrugged. "The fight will be inside..if there is a fight, Labramon'll be safe here than there, I guess." The trio made their way to ruins, Rakshemon glancing over to Labramon.

[COLOR=purple]Showers of earth were thrown up as Apsaramon and MetalArmadillomon dug. Mena stood next to Adian, tapping her foot. "How deep do you think this is?" she asked. "We could end up on the other side of the Digital World before we can find it." Adian peered into the tunnel. "Well, I hope we can find it efore then."he sighed. "What I'm really worried about is that all the other crystals were found with other digimon....." ".....and this one could be guarded too." finished Mena. "If it comes to that, I am afraid Apsaramon will be of little help. Ground is not really her element." "Oooh, think we found it....found it." came Labramon's excited voice from underground. Adian and Mena rushed to the site of the crystal. MetalArmadillomon sent up a final shower of soil before uncovering a glassy orb. "Finally." said Apsaramon. She held up her soiled claws. "I'll need a huge manicure after this." Adian took the crystal. He frowned. He turned it over and over. "Somethin' wrong?" asked Labramon, coming over. The rookie sniffed. "Hmmm." Labramon sniffed again. She flexed her body as if trying to reach the center of her back. "Labramon are you...?" MetalArmadillomon and Apsaramon eyed the digimon curiously. "I can't feel it." said Labramon. "What?" asked Adian. "The feeling." replied Labramon. "I get the itchy, tingly feeling when we find the crystal, I can't feel it now. I don't think it is a crystal." "A fake?" asked Adian. "I thought omething was wrong."

[COLOR=sandybrown]"Ok." said Mena. "We have things to do. We need to find the crystals, Frankie and Teth. All of them are absolutely essential and must not fall into the wrong hands." David nodded. "Right, we have to somehow find them all around the same time.I'll try and find Frankie and Teth." "I'll see what I can do." said Aidan. "What about Fenix?" "Well, he has the crystal, so I suppose Labramon can detect him." said Mena. "Call us David, after locating Frankie, for she'll need all the support she can get." [/COLOR]

[COLOR=sandybrown]Embyr wrapped her wings around her. It was not that the chilly wind of the morning bothered her, her folded wings just made her a little less conspicuous. She watched the steel dome below her. It looked so harmless from the outside, but inside, Embyr knew, was a different story. A buzzing sound filled her ears. Embyr irritatedly shook her head. Her master, if she called him that, needed her services again. Embyr had, more than once, thought of simply disappearing again, the way she did with other employers if she found a higher bidder. But there had been none so far. Embyr was troubled as she spread her wings and made for the dome. Usually humanity swarmed for her services and those of her kind, but now she received incresingly less jobs. Embyr alighted near the dome. Time to go see what her master needed now.[/COLOR]

Name: Embyr Race: Dragoon Genus: Salamander Weapons: giant retractable claws, sharp spears, dagger like swords and long blades and electric blades App: A female lizard being, w/ beaklike muzzle.steel bird wings, ripped ina few places. A stiff crest on head, spikes on the back and tail split half way. Armor appears when needed. Bio: engineered from T-Rex and raptor to act as agressive as possible, but to also display incredible intelligence. Humans consider her their's, but she is mostly a lone ranger. She wouldn't help humans unless she feels like it or they REALLY need it, but she woudn't hurt them either.

Kamimon sighed. "No!" she said. "Obviously, Labramon would like to come with us and i don't beleive you have anything further to say about it." Labramon nodded in agreement. "Well then. I'll fight you for him." said Ankylomon. "Armored Stampede!" The digimon suddenly became a living battletank, advancing forth. "Watch out!" Kamimon knocked Mena and Labramon out of that way. Ankylomon turned and resumed his attack. "Kamimon matrix digivolve to...Apsaramon!" Apsaramon managed to push Ankylomon back. "Hey, Ultimate against champion isn't fair." complained Ankylomon. "What you did before and what you are doing now isn't fair either," retorted Apsaramon. "Holy Wing!" "Tail Hammer!" Spikes collided with feathers. "Heavens Radiance!" Apsaramon delivered the final blow and the weak Ankylomon retreated back to the ground, screaming. "Daleth will get you for this......" Apsaramon waited for him to resurface. "I think he's gone." called Mena. "Big relif." said Apsaramon. "Now, Labramon, why do they want you so badly?" Labramon looked sulky. "I can sense those crystals." said the digimon finally. "The human wants to corrupt them and use their power for himself." "Crystals." said Apsaramon. "That's what they are for. I remember a legend that said that some Power Crystals kept the Digital World in function." "They're nice to me 'cause they want the crystals." said Labramon. "They actually hate me." "Mena, what do we do?" asked Apsaramon. "Ankylomon mentioned Daleth's name." said Mena. "Looks like Teth's clean after all. Now that we have Labramon, Daleth will come looking for his pet." "We have to find the others." said Apsaramon. "Warn Adian and Fenix."

[COLOR=sandybrown]Riana hesitated. "I really would like to explain." said Ilekea, softly. Riana sighed and followed. The priestess walked briskly to a row of temples and disappeared into one. Riana stood outside, for she didn't know what Ilekea would do. She looked down and found herself standing on some intricate pattern. She suddenly felt a rising feeling, deep in her chest. It expanded to form fear. Riana began to step back as the feeling kept growing. Ilekea at once stepped outside and pushed the girl away from the design she was standing on. "You're not ready to be in His presence," she said. "You are still too ...." She didn't finish. Ilekea led Riana to one of the smaller temples. On one wall there stood a carving. It was a being of many faces, Riana couldn't make out a specific pattern. "Loloth." said Ilekea. "My god." "But you said..." Riana was confused. "That other shrine was where he is in his full power, the feelings He can directly invoke....it would be overwelming." said Ilekea. "Now, about what the Chancillor said....."[/COLOR]

Kamimon assumed a defiant position. "Why do you want Labramon?" Ankylomon growled in annoyance. "It's none of your lousy business." Labramon jumped out of Mena's arms. "It's not fair. I can't exist just to be used!" "You fool, you're turning your back on your own family." said Ankylomon. "Help us, and you'll be given a home where you can belong." "That's what you keep saying, but I know." said Labramon sadly. "I know none of you like me, or even want to like me. I am just a tool, so your human friend can get power." Kamimon and Mena started. "Human friend?" "Is there another tamer?" asked Mena. Ankylomon looked at her with distaste. "So, there is another human.....one who happens to be much better than you. You humans with your technology, wiping out half the life in the Digital World." Kamimon growled. "They aren't destroying anything. And how can your human friend,whoever he is, be any better?" "He will make sure that human world technology will never touch this world again." replied Ankylomon. "We will shut down every bit of the human world, and then we'll see how those ingrates fare." "You can't do that." gasped Mena. "That would be rendering everyone defenseless, it wouldn't be a fair fight." Ankylomon rolled his eyes. "Bingo! Now, give me that dog."
