many many MANY more humans?! [urgent mission]

The digital world was a place of mystery and danger, though, out of so many, the one closest to the secrets of the digital world was a ninja by the name of Tsukino Kagetora. To the world his name was simply Saburo. The mountain in which the male placed his home is a sacred area that was generally peaceful and it is also where Kagetora and his partners fight and battle daily to keep their abilities sharp and on par with opponents they would face in the near future. However, on a day of rest that the gorgeous male designated for his partners, Yami and Yang, they were requested to come to File City and deal with the danger that was on its way to damage and potentially destroy everything. For Kagetora the world was a place of study and even in a way great beauty, though he wouldn't allow his partner's homes to be destroyed, he'd set off, though at the moment his main reason was study. If the digital world was destroyed, he wouldn't be able to finish unlocking its secrets, for Kagetora was the only person to have come through dimensional portals of the digital world and see the darkness of this world. The secrets he knew weren't meant for the general population as to not scare them, however, the beauty could understand Homeostasis' struggle and the reason he needed the digi-destined from all sides.

Most people could be easily swayed and a good number didn't like to think for themselves. While grabbing the tools needed for combat, Kagetora would sigh inwardly, knowing that others had received the message too but as he didn't like to rely on anyone, this would be difficult. Hopefully the people there were competent, other than the fact of him knowing nothing about them, Kagetora was 100 times stronger than the last he saw the holy digimon, when he received his crest. His appearance has changed as well over the long period of time. He was just a little taller and his body was lean and muscular but not overly so. He was well toned everywhere, yet even having more defining features, he was still as beautiful as he had always been when he was younger. Though, he even thought he looked more masculine for those that had known him, he still gave off the air of majesty, his beauty still being considered that to rival a flower and the moon, even if he was a man. His hair was much longer now too and his attire changed as well. But that was neither here nor there, as the male finally finished gathering his small concealed weapons and items.

Turning to Yang, the still soft yet, slightly deeper voice would speak, "Teleporting there should make the trip a lot faster, but I'd rather us be transported to the edge of the city. Gathering intel is where we shall start. Aside from what Homeostasis said, there isn't much to go on, except for the fact that the digimon is probably much larger than we think and it is extremely high in strength. There could also be a possiblity that it's more than one digimon and they are all working together. For now though, we'll assume it's one but don't forget the possibilities."

Yami and Yang would both nod in unison at their master's words and as the to moved they formed a triangle, standing directly behind Kagetora. Yang would start to glow, a magic circle appearing under them all as he chanted, their bodies turning white before light filled the area and consumed them, sending them through time and space, with the Lucemon's power. It was a normal mode of transportation for him but he had learned how to teleport others to places he had been. Unknowingly, the magic circle of gold and white light would quickly appear on the outside of the city but within view of the people that had just arrived. Three orbs would appear circling around each other a few feet off the ground before melding into one. The orb's light would die down as the light formed the three figures, dissipating as they materialized by File City. Kagetora stood with his eyes closed the warmth of light leaving his body as his hair and clothes stopped rustling, seeming to set gently as if they had only been lifted. His features were strong but still appearing feminine, even if he hadn't carried himself that way.

Opening his eyes, Kagetora would spot the others around him and approach. Yang and Yami moved to his sides, though Yang floated a little more ahead. Yami would stand tall as he walked beside his master, the Agumon X form would stand out to others because those forms were considered infected by a virus so to speak but with it came great power. The Lucemon would also be a shock to people but hey, they looked like they were all from the digital world and of importance but that was just the air they gave off. The men before him would probably assume that Kagetora was just a really pretty female but he had gotten used to it over the years, not really minding others opinions' unless they mattered, which meant, not many did in the world of ninja.

He stopped a few feet from them but his eyes roamed the area, which was in a bit of bad shape compared to last time he visited but hopefully, the city was still alright. They'd have to end this quickly. Now he would address them but his Lucemon was on edge, even if his body language hadn't said so. The shift of his movement was not lost to Kagetora but he couldn't help the fact that his partner would protect him from anything and anyone. "A pleasure to make your acquaintances. I'm Saburo and these are my partners Yang and Yami." the soft voice would speak as he unleashed his greenish blue eyes on the men and digimon before him. As he spoke the names, his partners would nod there heads to indicate who was which. Normally, Yang would do the introductions but for right now Saburo would address them out of respect for Homeostasis.

His partners simply looked on at the others but even Yami could already sense tension in this group. Who knew how things would turn out, especially when they needed to be focused on a battle. Egos were an annoyance.

in what could have been a stifling silence for takako - and only takako because the other two seemed to prefer the quiet unlike the labramon - it wasn't difficult to notice the faint sound of incoming footsteps. nor the exclamation of another. emerald green eyes, which were once focused on the horizon before them, turned to regard the new tamer with what would have seemed like curiosity, or perhaps as if he were analyzing the other male. which, if they were honest, wasn't completely out of the box. raiden and takako, like their tamer, turned to regard the newcomers as well, but the twins had different reactions to the greeting. raiden narrowed his deep red gaze, hostility obvious in his stance and overall demeanor. he was itching for a fight and he would hold no responsibility for his actions if they ended up waiting there for the entire day. the gazimon would have bared his teeth in a vicious grin, had his taichou not chosen that moment to nudge him with his foot.

takako, on the other hand, grinned and waved in greeting, "hi!" she chirped, rather glad for the company. as much as she loved her taichou and as much as the gazimon was her twin, sometimes she just wished they'd be a bit more social. it was like trying to talk to a tree or something - breathing and there, but no reaction. no conversation. at least this way, raiden gets the fights he wants, she gets the company she wants and they both get to get stronger for their taichou! ryuumaru nodded in greeting, though he left the speaking to takako, knowing how much his partner loved to talk. the tamer nodded, pulling the digivice out of his pocket, "mmhmm! we got a message that asked us to come here." the labramon tilted her head, looking much like the aimal she appeared to be modeled after. whatever else she had been about to say was cut off - both her and raiden stilling at the familiar feeling of a digimon nearby. another digimon, or maybe pair of digimon, they didn't know. but it was their excellent senses - more so their noses and ears than their actual 'digimon sense'.

they turned in the direction of the newcomer, who made themselves known. ryuumaru's gaze remained unchanged - the same analytical look as when he regarded the other tamer with the sunmon. saburo, eh? he'd remember that name; something told him there was more to the newcomer than they thought. he nodded his head in greeting, bowing slightly, more out of habit than anything. "Nice to meet you too!" once again, takako took over as the speaker for the group, though all three knew ryuumaru was the 'leader' in their partnership. "i'm takako!" she nudged her brother, who was watching the two digimon - yang and yami - with a cautious yet still aggressive expression. "raiden" he bit out, making both his sister and taichou sigh.

"i apologize for his behavior," he apologized to both tamers and their digimon, "he's restless. i'm ryuumaru." he explained and introduced himself.

when the wind picked up, the trio turned towards the horizon, raiden and ryuumaru narrowing their eyes as takako watched on. she would fight, but that didn't mean she held the same level of bloodlust as her brother appeared to have. the sandy blonde teen raised an arm to protect his sight as the winds blew the sand up and around them, the sudden light like a beacon. inwardly, he scoffed - such a big entrance wouldn't give them the element of surprise. his hand closed around the digivice, yet none of them made a move to digivolve yet. ryuumaru, for all his past experience in fights, wasn't a fool. no, he knew how to wait, how to bait others into attacking. his mind was running rampant, even as the figures on the horizon had yet to move. strategy. skill. intelligence. power. they weren't unbeatable, but it didn't matter. he would gauge their strengths and his own partners. then, raiden and takako would win.

because their taichou demanded no less of them.

"now here's the party!" raiden grinned, shifting on his feet as the eagerness to head into battle ran through him. one look from his taichou quelled the instinct to move forward and attack, but it didn't get rid of it. ryuumaru listens to the message, not speaking a word, as if he hadn't heard it in the first place. his mind was focused, too focused. it was now or never. takako glanced towards the other tamers and their digimon, "we're ready when you are!"

ooc: hope this is okay~ (:

Well this was just going to be quite the event. It seemed Raiden was either itching to fight or simply wishing to pick a bone to which, Kagetora knew Yang would gladly oblige. He already was on edge and there was no way Yang would allow any disrespect to his tamer in his presence. Feeling his Lucemon glare at the Gazimon, Kagetora would lift his left hand to which Yang would calm himself landing on the ground instead of floating. The ninja would simply take them all in visually, with one sweep across the group. He was used to looking at his enemies and or potential allies, though, he was being sized up as well from what he had gathered. Regardless though, his mind would dismiss any threat that the others before him held as he was here to return a favor to Homeostasis, from the when he went hunting for his crest. Things had been busy for the male since that day and he only proved to get stronger and wiser, however, little did he know, he was going to need everything he had been working for and on to complete this task. It was evident that one of the digimon needed to learn the a little bit about wearing their emotions on their sleeves but he'd dismiss it as he focused the other two, Takako and Ryuumaru. "No need to apologize. I assume it's only natural." he'd say calmly before the whipping of wind that would steal his attention to the horizon.

The strong gust would make his clothes blow in the wind as he turned to face it head on, his hair swinging wildly as he crossed his arms , his eyes taking in his enemy. "As for a plan, you can engage but within reason. No getting too far in over your head. I'll get as much information as I can in the middle of everything, which should suffice." Now Yang and Yami would walk to either side of him as they awaited their master's orders. Yami was more so a noble warrior, while Yang was the strategic mind. Their master honed both of their skills as he was a mixture of both, enabling them to get the best out of their experiences and training. Kagetora had long since fought many wars before and this one was on a much larger scale. Without his eyes straying from the horde. He'd speak loud enough for them all to hear after Takako had spoken about them being ready. "We are up against the digimon that truly run the digital world, in a very dangerous game.....and if you're not careful..." he'd let the rest go, for he was sure none of them were stupid. Pulling his digivice from his pocket, he'd speak back now, "Homeostasis, this is me repaying my debt. Now we're even." he'd say. This time around he just wanted to make sure the celestial digimon knew he was making them even with this sacrifice.

Kagetora's mind had already started on trying to figure out the enemy formation before them and with his left arm flying out to the side, Yang would leap in the air flying into the clouds to get a better look. Yang could also attack from above which was a benefit but they were very familiar with each other and the three worked together like a well oiled machine. Behind them was File City and the enemy could not be let past this border or the city was done for. Yang's eyes would search over the Army from above his master's head, seeing the army stretch out for as far as he could see. He would wait for their move to announce the army number while looking for a weak spot and any other information his tamer would find useful to rip the enemy asunder.

Yami would walk forward now standing before his master as he faced the enemy. The right hand of his leader from behind the scenes. They were all a vital part and Homeostasis would get to see their growth. "My Lord, will you participate?" the deep voice would rumble, though he knew full well the answer to that.

With a small smile Kagetora would simply sigh before responding, "That depends."

OOC: Hopefully, this came out alright.

this was, probably, the first time that anyone would say aloud that it was natural for raiden to be so aggressive. they were right of course, but no one except ryuu and takako particularly knew the gazimon to almost always be aggressive. which usually resulted in the arguments between the twins, to which ryuumaru would either ignore outright or get them to stop. usually from a chilling glare and a few choice words on a bad day; on a good day, it was usually just a simple phrase or something that got the twins to listen. and so, hearing this saburo assume it was natural for raiden to be aggressive had a humorous scoff escaping him.

and other than the slightest inclination of his head, the sandy blonde gave no other indication of hearing saburo's words. this wasn't the first time saburo had been in battle, whether it was digital or not, was obvious. at least, for the nineteen year old tamer it seemed that way. and while his next words seemed to be a warning, it didn't deter ryuumaru in the least. if one were watching him, they'd see the slightest quirk of his lips, the smallest of smirks as he gazed onwards, even as the enemy moved forward.

emerald eyes narrowed, as three attacks, powerful and whirling up yet another powerful wind, launched at them, but the teen didn't even flinch. he just watched as the attacks soared through the air straight for them. takako growled, low and angry, at the audacity those digimon - she didn't care if they were mega digimon, they dared to attack her taichou! - and readied herself for a fight. she usually didn't go and look for a fight, not like her brother, but she'd make an exception for this. raiden could already feel the power surging through them, even as a light protected them and the voice spoke once more. and that was all he needed to hear, really - the thought that someone was telling them to fight.

ryuumaru glanced towards the other two tamers, before returning his gaze to the first platoon - made up only of sealdramon. his digivice began to glow in his grip, raiden grinning that excited, almost bloodthirsty grin as takako growled, hackles raised. "takako, you're armor digivolving," and with that said, both digimon began to glow with the light of digivolution. raiden, with no orders from his taichou digivolved as he would, to champion. "gazimon digivolve to," and his fur receded, arms lengthening, wings sprouting from his back. his body grew, larger and darker, made to disappear into the darkness. his red eyes glowed, multiplying from two to four, and as the light of digivolution faded, he roared, cold blooded and bloodthirsty, "devidramon!"

the digi-egg of knowledge, the symbol of knowledge glowed from his digivice, as takako digivolved. "labramon digivolve to," and she also grew in size, the tail behind her separating into numerous tails. claws sharpening and canines bared. her pale fur tinged with grey, flames licking at her nine tails as the fur around her neck grew in length, a rope weaving it's way around, into a bow around said neck. her once canine features morphed into something wilder, yet more elegant looking - a fox; a nine tailed fox. "youkomon!"

"raiden, you do aerial attacks. takako, you take it from the ground," he called out as he examined their new forms. devidramon, an evil looking digimon that had him smirking. youkomon, fox of stories - a nine tailed fox - with fire around her paws and tail. they were outnumbered, sure, but that didn't mean anything; as takako's tails burned, the tamer realized that she could use an attack that had multiple targets. perfect. and takako, as if reading her tamer's mind, grinned as she attacked, firing flames at the sealsdramon. "fireball!"

up in the air, the devidramon roared, calling out for blood. red eyes gleaming with the darkness of a dark digimon such as himself. raiden couldn't say he was disappointed. even as he moved swiftly through the air, not too far ahead of his twin as the two made quite the tag team. "demonic gale!"

and ryuumaru watched with observant eyes, the attacks, the speed and the agility of his partners. he refused to move and take refuge behind some buildings or something. his partners were out there, and he wouldn't leave without them. they were the only ones worthy, after all. "any bright ideas?" he could come up with is own plans, but whoever called them here had called for more than one person. and while he liked his solitude and generally disliked relying on others, maybe he'd take advantage of it this time.
