Digimon: After the Convergence

@Crimson Flame Your characters have just been given orders to go to Highton-View Terrace as the sensors say something big is potentially coming through.

Digimon: After the Convergence

Shinjuku

The last of the Digimon rampaging was Monochromon, a large, Triceratops-like Digimon, continued to tussel with the BaoHuckmon, what sounded like a steam-whistle blasted as a Locomon plowed through the streets on rails that seemed to appear bellow it with each pump of its pistons, disappearing as the last wheel of it's 1 carriage that it pulled left it. It pulled to a stop and from the side door, bunch of Commandramon filed out, all shouting "Hut" in unison with each quick-march step they took. Behind them, Herald appeared stood in his black sleeveless coat and Boken in hand, rested on his shoulder. "Commandramons, help the civilians, i'll assist BaoHuckmon" He ran forwards, getting some speed up, before jumping and landed on Monochromon's face, the Digimon's horn right behind him, he grabbed ahold of it for stability, before shoving the Boken right between its eyes. "I AM HERALD AND I SPEAK FOR THE SOVEREIGNS!!!" He bellowed. Monochromon stopped for a second, before rearing up and bucking Herald off of him, Herald landed in a heap next to BaoHuckmon. "Well, it was worth a try." He picked up his Boken and stood, ready for anything. As Monochromon fired several fireballs at the pair of them, Herald sliced through them with the Boken, before darting up to the Digimon and sliding underneath it, slashing at its soft underbelly with the sword, getting out the other side and turning around as it collapsed to the ground and faded into data. Herald pointed the Boken out which absorbed the Data into itself. "I'll make sure Monochromon reconstitutes on the other side." He said to BaoHuckmon.

ATLAS Headquarters

As the blips on the Tokyo map started to go out, Siggy began to breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily it had only been Champion-levels and a handful of Rookies. "Any more targets emerging?" He called to the agents working the Cartography.

"Negative sir. Threats neutralized." One replied. Siggy sat down in his chair and rubbed his forehead.

"Excellent, perform a standard search and sweep for any that might have bonded and send the all-" But before he could finish his sentence, the Cartography map seemed to explode in warning signs as an Alert symbol appeared, then another and another, more and more spreading across the cartography map, almost seeming to block it out.

"Sir, it says we have a Code-Black Digital Bio-Emergence... Sir, that could onl-"

"I know what it could only mean." Siggy said, standing up, retaining his composure.

"LOCATION!?!?!?" Lucas roared. The Agent tapped away again.

"Highton-View Terrace" the agent responded. Siggy looked over at Lucas who was already messing with his Digivice, going for Mega-Level

"Lucas, stand down!" He ordered.

"No, you step up!" He replied. "Whatever is coming through is-"

"Anything" Siggy cut him off. "We've had false alarms before and we will treat this as no different."

"NEVER a code black, though."

"What about when Kokuwamon came through and joined with Agent Bakuto, we got a Code Black on him." Siggy retorted.

"And i STILL say we should have wiped him and sent Kokuwamon back." He finally pressed the button and Elecmon disappeared into a blinding light along with Lucas.

"ELECMON BIOMERGE TO BANCHOLEOMON!" A voice called. As BanchoLeomon emerged, he took a few steps towards the door, but was blocked by NeonGuilmon.

"BanchoLeomon stand down." NeonGuilmon ordered.

"If me and Cartography are correct, we need to get every available Mega-Level there NOW!!!"

"At least let's confirm it." NeonGuilmon replied. "Come on, big guy, we wrote the book on this for a DAMN good reason." The small Digimon nodded to Siggy, who immediately pulled out his Digivice and pressed his Executive Broadcast button. As he did so, every Digivice of every ATLAS Agent in Tokyo would instantly relay his words.

"Attention all ATLAS personel, be advised we have a potential situation. I need all available units to converge on Highton View Terrace and get me eyes on a Bio-Emerging target." He paused for a second, picking his next words very carefully. "And standby for Mega-Level authorization. Keep to Champion or Rookie for the moment and get me eyes on target. If Mega-Level spotted, radio your position and wait for back-up. Do not try to be a hero and engage by yourself. If Mega-Level engages you... Do whatever you deem necessary to protect yourself and others around you." He then sat down "Cartography, all eyes on Highton View Terrace."

Roppongi

As Guardromon and DinoHyumon began to clash in the middle of the street, a severe breakdown of communication that was going unnoticed by Cartography due to the Code Black, both Agents would get Siggy's message at the same time, neither able to overhear it from the other due to it coming through their standard-issue ear-pieces that they put on as they entered the fog and being one of the only devices unaffected by it. As they tried to bluff around each other, a 3rd combattant would enter the picture. as streaking through the sky towards the ground was BlackFlamedramonsmashing into the ground between the two and a burst of Rosie-red fire forming a shield around him, deflecting the pairs incoming attacks away long enough for him to stand up. Both of the Digimon would recognize BlackFlamedramon as Herald's partner, due to Herald, much to the chagrin of most of the Directors, making it a point to introduce himself to each and every new agent. "Hey, jerks, if you could stop fighting each other for a second, you might actually realize you're on the same side." He pointed over to their partners currently trying to convince the other to leave. "Now, i ain't gonna tell nobody nothin' about what happened here, but only on the proviso that you quit-it. We got a situation in Highton View Terrace. Now grab your partners and follow me." His voice was deep and authoritative, but with a brutish twang to every word. A creature clearly used to having power and using it to achieve its goals. He would start jumping via rooftops towards Highton View Terrace, moving quickly, but making sure that the Champions could keep up if they chose to follow him.

Highton-View Terrace

As Airdramon's matter seemed to explode across the skies, the fog didn't seem to lift as it usually would. A malevolent aura seemed to drop across the entire district. Every mobile phone, computer, television screen showed static rhythmically pumping. Before finally, just going back to general static. As Daichi and Dozer were just getting ready to call for the clean-up crew and head back to base is when they would get Director Siggy's alert. The air went cold and something appeared just outside of Daichi's vision, something that, at first glance might have been mistaken for another civilian. All the way up until a spear flew past his face at what seemed like super-sonic speeds, only to appear to be on some kind of string and be pulled back into the fog and the figure set off at a run, quickly being consumed by the digital mists.

Shinjuku

As The Commandramon army was getting people freed from the damage of Monochromon's rampage and Flashing them with their memory-erasers, that was when Herald pulled out his digivice and got Siggy's message play through it. "Well, you heard the man" He called to Hinata. "I'll give you a ride." He said, jogging over to Locomon's carriage. "All aboard!" He called to the agent "The Commandramons will handle it. Things are about to get interesting over in Highton"

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Duthguy You gonna respond to @BladeSS4 attacking your character by accident, or does everyone just want me to move this along?

Digimon: After the Convergence

Sorry about being a little absent these last few days. Been super busy with work.

@Martian Yes, It's about 9am-ish.

@Charlie Foxtrot Feel free to throw up a Character sheet, people are accepted on a case-by-case basis.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Martian


Well, to be honest, our last group used the Season 2 Digivices, but I'm happy with saying that in the intervening time, we've updated to the Data Squad Digivices.

@Double they are supposed to go down easily for the moment, because... Well, it's a good way to introduce everyone their characters, but once everyone has made their opening posts, everyone will find out why they went down so easily.

That being said, if people need new targets, I cam throw some more in.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Duthguy Tis a fine post, leave some for the rest of the party.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Duthguy Parrotmon used to be Champion... I didn't realize they reconned him up a level. I'll fix that.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Crimson Flame Pretty much, as well as introducing your character?

Digimon: After the Convergence

Alright, everyone, pick your targets and engage. Whoever engages with a Digimon, feel free to control your enemy, this is just a little warm-up round to get people into the swing of things.

Digimon: After the Convergence

ATLAS Headquarters - Board of Directors Meeting

A dark room. A large table, at the head of it Siggy sat with NeonGuilmon stood next to him. "Gentlemen!" He called. Sat around him were Directors Lucas and Zei, with Jordan, Dirk, Leon and Ari monitor screens. "It ha-"

"You know, that 2 of us are ladies... Try to be a little more sensitive, Siggy." Ari butted in. Siggy stared at her with a face of purest ire for a few seconds.

"It has been brought to our attention that things are picking up again." He pressed a button and a hologram appeared in the middle of the table. "After the dip in Digi-Emergance events after the A.D.C.U. went down, things are now going back up again. We were hoping it was a spike, but it's rising to almost as high as it was 11 years ago."

"Can't say as i have noticed." Ari replied, picking her ear.

"I have-" Leon stated. Pressing a button, the hologram changed to a globe and highlighted dots across the world "Frankfurt exploded with activity these last 3 months. It's gotten so bad that i'm almost having to start insisting that potential members take the memory wipe. Either that, or there's gonna be a mass-exodus from Frankfurt as i start transfering people away to keep our notoriety down." He sighed.

"Send some of them my way. Africa is as quiet as ever." Dirk said.

"Why do you think we sent you there?" Lucas mumbled. "Me and Elecmon are handling it. Luckily, most of the things coming through are Champion-level. Me and the teams here in Tokyo are handling it easy. At the same time, we should probably see if we can get in touch with the Sovereigns and see if they can help curb this migration from their end."

"You can easily get that information." Zei replied.

"Yeah, but that means talking to that self righteous douchebag Herald." Elecmon butted in.

"You are the head of Security, this is literally your job." Dorumon grunted.

"Yeah, but there's doing our job and just social flagelation and we did not sign up for that." Lucas replied.

"With Lucas on this one." Dirk replied. "Herald rubs me wrong."

"For the first time in the entire time i have lived i'm going to say the words "Thanks Dirk" don't get used to it." Lucas replied. "But in all seriousness, if you're having over-staffing issues, then do feel free to send some of them my way, i'd be glad of the extra help."

"Same" Dirk replied "Africa's not got as much land-mass as Asia, but Africa's population is much less centralized and infrastructure is much worse, meaning getting places quickly is hard. I need more bodies on the ground over here."

"Can we stop trying to benefit off of the problem and actually look to solve it?" Zei butted in again.

"You're right." Jordan replied. "New Zealand's having much the same problem. Too many emergences, too little places to hide all of these Digimon. I'm willing to put serious money on it being a lead-up to something." At that point Siggy stood up, airing his authority as the head of the Directors.

"We are in agreement... Something is going down. But right now, we have no idea what it is. Any move we make right now might be playing into the hands of whoever is pulling the strings." He then sat down again. "But at the same time, we can't proceed too cautiously as it could accelerate their plans as we decelerate our responses. The safest course of action we have right now is to just keep doing what we are doing and wait for more information to present itself. Leon, Jordan, if you are having over-manning issues, choose some of your agents with minimal ties to the area and get them transferred over to Africa. Anyone else need more bodies?" Everyone looked at their notes, but nobody answered verbally. "Right, next on the-" At that point, lights started to flash around them. "Oh no..." Siggy sighed sarcastically "Looks like this meeting is over. It's a hard job, but somebody's gotta do it." He smiled, before pressing a button, ending the meeting and grabbing Lucas and dragging him through the doors behind him to the control room, looking up to see the Cartography being worked by a pair of agents.

"Directors, we have a massive spike of Digital Emergences across Tokyo. Power Level C, but multiple focal points."

"Dammit." Lucas growled, running over to a console and pressing the Mobilize signal to all of the agents in Tokyo. Siggy grabbed a headset.

"Tokyo units, this is Director Siggy, we have a whole mass of bogeys emerging in the city, pick your closet targets and engage at your discretion. Champion level authorization given."

Japan - Tokyo

As ATLAS began to scramble to contain the problems popping up everywhere, packets of mist began engulfing different parts of the city. Most of the inhabitants going about their daily business without even thinking about what might be lurking out there. Everywhere in the mist, the Tokyo citizens were seeing things moving out the corner of their eyes, but just assuming it was a trick of the light. Meanwhile, large digimon began to explore their surroundings.

In Akihabara, the roar of a Kuwagamon could barely be heard over the din of arcade-machines

In Shinjuku, parked cars were being swatted out of the way by Monochromon crashing through the streets

In Nerima, people would be forgiven for assuming that a jumbo-jet was flying too low overhead as the shadows of a Airdramon lanced through the misty skies.

In Roppongi, the drunkards still getting over last nights partying put their sights down to the lack of sleep as an Ogremon was having to fend off a horde of Goblimon from trying to eat it.

Everywhere, digivices were lighting up and Siggys authorization was playing through to them. ATLAS Agents were on the way to help everyone.
