[Dark Area Village Liberation]

[dive_npc]

Who: Folks in this thread, Virus Busters, Dark Area citizens, others
What: Rescuing Dark Area citizens from the hands of the Virus Busters.
When: A few days after Ivan's post here. Let us say around June 10th. Regardless, backdated.
Where: Dark Area, near its border to the Poyi Mountains

Lightly occupied was something of a relative term, really. For those approaching the occupied villages, they would find them pretty well fortified and surrounded by Virus Buster forces. Among them were, as would be expected, many knight-like Digimon in their numbers, as well as various sorts of assorted holy types.

Their security was strong.

Their formations were tight.

More than anything else, though...

They knew to expect company.

Re: [VILLAGE ONE, DISTRACTION TEAM]

Commander AeroV-dramon felt an itch. An itch he was eager to scratch.

As he hovered over the village he and his men had been ordered to occupy, he felt a tiny twinge of disappointment that everything was going so well. Everything was tightly regimented, with more than enough soldiers for every filthy Dark Area digimon in this wretched little hive.

AeroV-dramon almost wished things would be a little bit more chaotic. That something would happen... anything would happen that would give him an excuse to sate the lust he had for combat. To bring judgement to these filthy demonic wretches.

But all he could do now was wait. Defend this hive from potential invaders, until this frontier area was secure. Secure being relative of course; this village was densely packed with soldiers as is, and the lack of "security" came from the distance they were from further reinforcements.

He was beyond this. He was more than just a simple babysitter. He was a winged master of the battlefield. He deserved better...

If they didn't hear the cannon fire in the distance first, the Virus Buster soldiers would certainly notice it striking the grounds outside the village. The Halberd had begun its fire as soon as it was within range to do so, but was careful not to strike within the village itself.

This went on for several moments, while a crimson Digmon, a man crouched on his back, flew down towards the earth using the bombardment as cover.

"Alright, get yourselves to the ground!" he barked over his D-Comm. "The moment our cannon fire stops, these guys are going to be pissed. And that's just how we want them! Be ready to engage them and keep all attention on us! Don't give them time to use the village as a shield, and give 'em every reason to come out here and try to kick our asses!"

If they didn't already have means of flight between either them or their partners handy, Simon had provided anyone who needed it with a set of White Wings. Having ties to organizations that couldn't yet set foot down here did have its advantages...

Starscream and Swindle had already leapt into outright attack, with Starscream having immediately switched to battle mode. The Decepticon unleashed his Null Laser Cannon, while Swindle, as Garudamon, let out a blast of Shadow Wing, both of their assaults flying alongside the Halberd's bombardment.

Rock on Gaogamon followed Simon's lead. He had his Elemental Cannon equipped and had it set to fire dark energy. He figured that would give them the most reason to come after him.

Gaogamon held his attacks for now, simply howling as if to urge the attack charge.

Dragon Fire flew through the air with his partner riding on his back, completely backwards from all the other tamers. He nodded to the command and waited until they were close enough before he began to rain down fireballs from his mouth at any of the Virus Buster forces that were near the edge of the village.

Haruko let out a cackle of joy, goggles and helmet snug on her face as her Vespa went roaring across the battlefield.

Her Makuramon partner was screaming with piercing fear as he fumbled and flung explosive crystal balls left and right without presence of mind to aim.

That was OK though because Haruko could steer the Vespa directly into whatever enemy dared to come at them.

They were sure making enough noise though.

Sadamitsu flew at the defenders, firing the glowing blue orbs of the Active Device from the palm of his hand. Anything they hit, be it alive or just an object, would be engulfed and launched high into the air, only to fall back down a minute later, though particularly large, heavy, or strong enemies might instead be immobilized for a second or two before the field collapsed. One might ask why Sadamitsu wasn't using this as his primary ranged attack here, but that was because he had terrible aim with most ranged attacks and using it to cause confusion was a more effective use of it. Instead, once he got a bit closer he gripped the still-sheathed Jatetsufuujin-maru in both hands and slashed the air, sending a blunt shockwave at the defenders' front lines.

Kulon, meanwhile, was a Lighdramon charging alone the ground and letting off Thunder Blade attacks at the enemy. The White Wings that he had been given were stored in the D-Comm, Junk having convinced both Sadamitsu and Kulon that it would be better if there was someone on the ground as well as in the air to split the enemy's attention even more. If Kulon needed to fly, Junk would be able to have the D-Comm realize them without needing to distract Sadamitsu.

Everyone else might be charging right in, but Asakura, after she lands, will stay behind the more heavy hitters. Which makes sense since she doesn't have a digimon and well.

She's a close ranged fighter. So until the distraction gets a counter from Omegamon's forces here, she'll be at the ready.

Re: [VILLAGE ONE, DISTRACTION TEAM]

[lightmyspiritoffire]

Hao clutched onto his Fladramon as it rushed towards the ground with a Fire Rocket, cutting in front of one of the opposing force's digimon with its landing and knocking it on its ass.

"Oops, sorry~" Hao chuckled as he hopped off the Digimon's back, while the fire slowly died down.

Re: [VILLAGE ONE, RESCUE TEAM]

The inner defenses of the village were designed to keep the Dark Area citizens sequestered in the middle of the village. They were contained like cattle, with parts of the village itself leveled and cleared away to serve as holding grounds.

All around this area were Virus Busters; some of them Angemon, some of them V-dramon, who served to keep these digimon corralled... and anyone from the outside getting in.

Re: [VILLAGE ONE, RESCUE TEAM]

[flameless_twin]

While Simon's plan was loud, fast, and furious; Yukio's was much more subtle and secretive. He had split his group into two, three on each team, and had them all retain communications with their D-Comms. The teams had slipped directly into the village with the use of Dr. Finitevus' Warp Rings. Yukio, Finitevus, and Zero were in one team to the north. Nia, Nurse Arrow, and Faith were to the south.

They villagers had been corralled into the center of the village; which made it easier to find them all but with how they were guarded, it was a set back. Yukio quickly planned out their next moves and opened communication on the D-Comms.

"We need to work quick but silently. Each team needs to draw members of the guard away from their posts and incapacitate them. Do so as fast as you can. Those who are ranged fighters can take shots at them to draw their attention and use your melee attackers when they get close. Once the way is name, we go in and use the doctor's rings to get all those people up into the Halbert. Go." Yukio cut the transmission and quickly loaded two clips into his guns. One with bullets, the other with tranqs. Knocking the digimon would be faster than defeating them completely. They needed to work quickly, however. There was no telling how long the distraction team could hold out.

[arrowoferos]

Arrow had been reluctant to reveal her powers even if it meant the success of the mission. But she'd been far too bored lately so here she was.

The spiders that made up her form shifted without revealing their true nature and she grew larger, broader. Her skin turned pale and wings sprouted forth.

A mighty Angemon stood where Arrow had once been. That should make it easier to slip amongst the enemy and help things along.

Re: [VILLAGE ONE, RESCUE TEAM]

[spiral_princess]

Nia moved into action, silently obeying her orders with Dorumon at her side. Once they passed through the rings, they stuck to the shadows, getting into position.

Once they found it safe enough, they sprung their attack, with Nia evolving her partner and Death-X Dorugamon attacking with the iron ball at the end of his tail, attempting to knock out two V-dramon.

Re: [VILLAGE ONE, RESCUE TEAM]

[sclassedge]

All Zero needed was a direction.

Once he had it, he and Ryuudamon took to it, slipping into the shadows. A quick evolution to Ginryuumon, and Zero rode atop his partner's back. As Ginryuumon dashed between buildings, Zero kept his buster trained and armed. Every time he had a clear shot, he took it, firing Digi-Soul covered blasts at Virus Buster personnel.

Just enough to catch their attention.

Zero's other hand rested on the hilt of his Z-Saber, ever ready. The moment something was close enough...

Well.

Anyone who caught direct sight of him? He wasn't going to give them the opportunity to go back and tell his superiors that this DATS officer was down in the thick of things, instead of "watching" Asakura as he'd been assigned.

It was only a matter of time before justice was to be done.

The commander for this particular village was a Cyberdramon, who repeatedly patrolled the outskirts of his village personally, along with his own cadre of subordinates.

Like his fellow commander AeroV-dramon in another village, Cyberdramon was eager to get things done. But his claws had been stayed by Omegamon himself; he was not to execute the prisoners yet. And it was not his position to question his supreme commander.

Re: [VILLAGE TWO, RESCUE TEAM]

[dive_npc]

Unlike the other village, in this one, the Dark Area digimon had been secured in buildings that were once their own facilities, and now effectively served as prison barracks. The Dark Area digimon themselves were packed in like sardines, and the outsides of the buildings were guarded and patrolled by both Sagittarimon and Centarumon.
