Light Descending [Invite Only]

[Blight]

Plutomon wanted to take over the Digital World? What kind of dark overlord shit was this? Blight took a step back, taking a second to think about what had been said. He made an attempt to assemble a coherent narrative in his mind and sort all of the recent happenings into a timeline. In a few short moments, all of the new information clicked neatly together. Damn. Everything made sense now that he'd gotten the missing piece of the puzzle and put it into place. Of course, it was at that very moment that Blight realized he was in the wrong throne room entirely.

"Oh. Fuck."

Jupitermon wanted to purge the chaos...and chaos was at the very centre of his digicore. That is to say, his very being comprised the thing God was trying to desperately to destroy. Did that mean that his life was meaningless, that he was poised to be some kind of sacrifice? 'I don't know if I can live in a world that punishes my existence. I mean, that's kind of rude, isn't it? Fucker. I'm not some cowardly shit. Cure me? No. Nonononono. I'll resist this pretentious bastard by falling into his arms.' He had a sudden surge of confidence, apparently. Blight grasped at his sleeve. The Mark. He was going to need it. Any amount of ghosts were worth the pain of survival, of sticking it to the man. A cure? No longer possible. He couldn't. He wouldn't. That being the case, Blight decided to hatch a plan - a getaway, as it were. This ill-conceived idea had a low survival rate, but it was all he could chance for the time being. A rotten feeling swirled in the pit of his stomach. There was definitely something fake about Jupitermon. He was going to have to fight it.

"Plutomon has me in his clutches already!" the Hazardmon blurted, feigning terror, "He made me a part of the chaos. Removing the Mark, even coming into contact...it might kill me. I don't want to die Lord Jupitermon, uh, Sir. All I can offer is my help. Please!" Wow, he was certainly not Juliard material. A half-assed attempt like that was probably going to get him killed. The fear in his voice was insincere and his gestures were overstated. Welp, a guy had to try. The fishiness of the whole scenario was getting to him.

Another epiphany.

Blight took a look around, glancing nervously at the other children and their Digimon. One kid even had his partner restored to life. With all this angel stuff going on, he could only reach one conclusion: this wasn't a healing ceremony, it was a recruitment drive. Jupitermon wanted soldiers for his war - this war against the chaos that he perceived. It was weirdly obvious to Blight that Jupitermon was putting on a show to entice followers. The gifts he was offering, his kind demeanour...was this the actual attitude of the king of the Digital World? Perhaps his data corruption was screwing with his head more than he thought, but somewhere deep down he was pretty sure that Jupitermon was only acting in self-interest. The light Digimon's reign was being threatened, so he was taking measures to prevent an uprising. The Hazardmon clenched his fist. If he was gonna get caught for his crappy acting, at least let it be in resistance to this guy.

Haru wouldn't stand. She didn't really feel up for it. She could hear just fine, as Jupitermon went on with his rhetoric. A god-like digimon could definitely remove the mark, and with her head clear, she knew he was speaking the truth, just as Yana had done. She of course had been too... Enraptured, enchanted by the way her mark felt. Perhaps it had been her close proximity to her heart? Whatever the case, a choice needed to be made. A hand came softly to her shoukder, just as she thought about standing up. Yana, of course... She'd been the only one who has cared enough to warn her about it, consistently. And yet... There were benefits to it. It was a strange thing that has given her a... Drive. A purpose she rarely had. There were downsides, certainly. But... The one who face it to them, this Plutomon... He could very well have a counter offer. That's how these sort of ludicrous internal power struggles go, right? She couldn't help but think that perhaps there was another option available, one that Jupitermon wouldn't mention, as it was directly counter intuitive to his desires. But as Yana tightened her grip on Haru's shoulder and went on with her little speech, it reminded the young blonde that even if Plutomon could assist in channeling the marks power... His goal still seemed to throw the digital world into total chaos. That wasn't good for anyone besides the lunatics in charge... But then, she was a human. The digital wasn't her home, really. She couldn't care less about the majority of it's inhabitants or how they lived. They would be fine, eventually. Slowly the girl sat up, hiding her face under her cap, as she was oft to do, rising to her feet and slowly encouraging Jane's hand to leave her shoulder. "V I... I haven't been myself lately. I didn't know... I didn't believe this could affect you. So I'm sorry... What do you wanna do here? I... Ill be on eith-" The Veemon shook his head, not even turning it toward Haru to a dress her as he spoke to her, lifting a finger to silence her. "Nah Nah nah, see, that's the thing. There you go, lying to me again about this thing. Maybe you forvot, but I don't, I don't think I've ever seen someone in that much pain before. On top of that, it isn't exactly good to be uhhh, haunted, ya know? Considering how we work... If you want my opinion on it, I'd have told you to get rid of it when you got it. But hey, I can't make you get rid of it... If you do keep it, do you have a plan for when we get back? On pretty sure you'll still be out of it and I can't fight those things and save us both... So, ya know... Consider that." in truth, a pretty dominant part of V wanted to accept Jupitermon's offer. Had it come before his own untimely demise he'd had gleefully accepted the role. This was a chance to fight for something beyond fighting, beyond glory or fame, or anything that he knew didn't bring him happiness. Fighting by Haru's side had been... Satisfactory so far. He liked her, and they got along. Sure he was a bit upset right nkw, he had every right to be, but he'd chew his lip a little, holding back an appology. He knew he was right, she knew he was right, and appologizing for that was just something neither of them could respect. "Haru... I uhh... I died... Before we met. I did the digiegg rebirth, worked myself up back to rookie and... I mean it's a long story but I did the hero thing. Protect the weak, save the innocent, that whole schpeel. Didn't end well for me, and from what I've gathered, usually dont end well for most. High mortality rate... But... But looking back on it I just... Got bored. Being famous aint anything special. 'specially if you don't know half the people that know you... But fighting for something meaningful? That's something I've always wanted to try, ya know? It's stupid, yeah but hey... It's my two bits." Vee would declare somewhat offhandedly. He'd been meaning to tell Haru for a while. Since her secret had been revealed, he felt now was as good a time as any. Haru, to her credit, didn't seem all that phased. Because she wasn't. She didn't care about a person's past as long as it dudnt interfere with their life now. It was however very enlightening for the blonde tamer."So... We take the deal then? Let ourselves get dragged into this?" the often humorless, homeless girl just grabbed the top of her cap and smiled to herself. V didn't ask for much. With the way the room was going, it felt like that old expression "of all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?" was taking on a slightly more literal meaning. A fight with plutonium meant a fight with the terrorists from Triton and Terabyte, plus whoever he gathered to his side. "Alright then. I don't suppose you can give an estimate on what precisely is in your power to grant? Idealism aside, this fight won't be won with speeches... Money is a safe option, but I'm curious. You're offering a world of possibilities and I won't pretend to think your power is limitless. How many bits are our lives worth? Can you grant us the power necessary to overcome the odds against us? I just... Don't intend to waste this boon. Not on something I know I can't keep..." Haru had made up her mind the moment V learned about the mark. She figured he'd want to join. She didn't mind joining. But Jupitermon's offer came with as many vaguities as it did implications. People were asking for money, or new forms of digivolution. But if those thing were fairly unimaginative... If he was as powerful as he was implying he was, this fight wouldn't even require the folks he's gathered.

[FERGHUS]

Well, the past coming back to haunt wasn't just a metaphor after all. That unwanted tattoo, that Mark, burning to the point where it was near unbearable. And all of these DAMNED ghosts with their ceaseless torment! One Fist of the Beast King, and two more show up. Ferghus knew he killed them, ALL of them at one point in life. But they didn't care. It was just a job, he was just doing as he was instructed! No, they wouldn't have it. Not when their murderer was right in their line of sight. Even the old man's bulk couldn't withstand all of these attacks for long. But the question remained whether he deserved a more severe punishment.

A couple of the ghastly monsters grabbed the lion, pinning his arms behind his back. Ferghus was in for it, but was too tried to recognize who they were or even fight back any further. A slam to the gut, a few to the face, even a barrage of strikes to his person. Everything hurt. He wasn't a human, he could survive much more pain. Vision became cloudy with a right hook to his temple. "Yew... ya'll just," the old fool mustered, unleashing a harsh 'OOF' when his gut was met with a knee. Back hurt, head hurt, gut hurt... should he just let them finish him off? Or was that too good for him? Way too good for the old feline.

He was a complete and utter piece of shit.

Chucked against a boulder, his only eye noticed a hazy light of sorts calling out to him. Salvation? But should he? Ferghus didn't deserve any from anyone. But part of him willed to go on, to somehow find an answer to his torment. Massive, yet weak, bleeding arm forced its way to the light, demanding his body to move as this undeserved salvation enveloped the old man, taking him from this place of long lost ghosts.

Everyone in this new room had been affected by the Mark. It didn't care some of them were just children, at least in Ferghus's eye. Jupitermon, a powerful creature whom few dared to challenge, and for good reason. Last the lion checked he wasn't due for facing a god in a span of... never. But, today was a different day. Only person he could truly recognize in the room was Adam and his two partners. As annoyed as he has been with the whole 'hero' thing, Ferghus shoved those feelings aside, relived knowing those three were relatively unharmed. The Leomon remained silent, crouched in the back on one knee. He had nothing to say.

But that offer was tempting. Remove the Mark, and gain a great boon to his own power in some way? All he needed to do was remove the Seven and halt Plutomon's beliefs. Some war of the gods, apparently. Deep growls came from his throat, appalled by the sheer concept of obeying a god as a pawn. But he wasn't alone, there were some doubts in the room. Although Terabyte City's and Triton's recent events came to mind. Ferghus was perhaps more appalled by this lack of respect for the hard work done to build these cities. Hell, he had to call both joints home at one point.

His bleeding nearly stopped, but those cuts and bruises remained, pain stiffening muscles and joints. The old man forced himself to sit, paying no mind to whether or not this was respectful to Jupitermon. But he had to say something. Anything to progress, "Look, Ah'll be honest with yew, Jupitermon. Ah ain't the most charitable feller in this world, and half of me is gonna be selfish 'bout this whole thang yew got goin' on with Plutomon there. Been lookin' ter git a rifle as of late, and if'n Ah help yew out, Ah hope yew ain't against gettin' me a gewd weapon like that, best Ah can git."

Ferghus wasn't done though. Pessimism was not the best group to pull words from, but he wouldn't forgive himself if he didn't, "But more importantly... these kids here. If somethin' were ter happen to 'em, Ah wanna be DAMN sure yer gonna take responsibility fer it. Seems like they're willin' ter help, but they ain't got the experience as far as Ah know. Cause yew best know Ah ain't in the mood fer someone usin' youngun's like this as tools."

Those last words spurred out as though the lion could spit acid. Harsh, and perhaps too harsh in front of a god, but judging by his state logic was half thrown out the window.

[Jupitermon]

One by one the chosen warriors voiced their opinions and desires about the boon they wanted in exchange for their aid. Of course he had expected most of them to desire some form of compensation, and finally after each of them had spoken he decided to approach the group one by one. The first one was Adam Jackson , the boy's two Renamon voiced their request to remove his mark personally, explaining that the lad was too young to drink any wine. His gaze settled down onto Adam, and soon his majestic voice resounded through the halls of the golden city once more. "Normally the declination of a gift like this would be quite an offending gesture." Yet after a moment he gestured at the Angewomon, making them step backwards as he raised his hand above the boy's head and continued speaking. "However, a child of man deserves some leniency when it comes to a matter like this. Very well, I shall cleanse the mark from you personally then." A bright light came from Jupitermon's hand, seemingly manifesting in a small pillar of light that engulfed Adam, a warm feeling coursing through the boy's entire being as the tainted mark seemed to slowly dissolve from his skin. Satisfied with his work the Olympian Digimon continued his round, this time approaching Sebastian Devaroux and his newly hatched partner. "The desire for power is a gift most people ask for, yet true strength is not given, it is earned from within oneself. It is for that reason I shall instead bestow upon you the 'gift of potential.'" A simple gesture was made by Jupitermon as Sebastian's Digimon became coated in an aura of blazing flames, warm and benevolent flames that soon ceased to be, but if the little Digimon desired it, it would have found itself able to turn back into its Rookie form at will while Jupitermon raised a cup toward Sebastian, a object of some sorts, a card revealing to had been under the cup. "Combine this with your Digimon's newly obtained potential and someday it shall become a force to be reckoned with." Of course he wasn't done yet, soon resuming his focus onto Zachary Scryer and his Panthermon. "The mark is a power so wicked it goes even beyond my comprehension Panthermon. It's a power that darkens the hearts of even the kindest souls, warping them into the twisted fiends that follow Plutomon, so your nightmares might had been yet another attempt of the mark to claim you as a servant of its twisted master. However, never forget that the light always banishes even the deepest shadows." After handing Zachary a cup he heard the lad's request for a boon. Of course he had expected it, in the end two girls among the chosen warriors had shown the same desire for material wealth, one of them seemingly inquiring about the limits of his treasury and so he spoke. "Very well, I shall prepare a donation for each of you, one thousand bits. Just don't spend it all on card games. But to answer your inquiry: Although the safety of my city, and those that dwell within it is priceless, I will only be able to provide this amount for the time being. In the end even I need to prepare to gather more forces in the upcoming war against Plutomon." Of course a king like him had his own priorities and responsibilities, but he finally approached Yana Sekigawa and her Gatomon, her words making him nod in approval. "You're right, if Plutomon's schemes are given free reign it won't just be my city that falls, but the madness and evil that would spread forth from his actions would consume both the innocent and weak. We can not let his actions go unpunished!" Of course he would never surrender his city to Plutomon, but when he was about to hand Yana a cup of the wine his eyes sharpened into a more focused gaze. "Peculiar, your mark seems to be inflicted with a greater evil than the others. As if you were exposed to a presence that stimulated it. Nevertheless, no warrior of the light shall be forced to endure such evil!" Yes, even Yana would find her mark soon to be purified while he heard the Leomon's words. Nodding in agreement with the lion-man's opinion. "A king stands with his people, obviously when the day comes for battle, I will fight by your side against Plutomon. However, your fellow warriors do have a mind of their own, so should they act in a way that is beyond my ability to save them, then their fate is up to their own strength, and those of their companions to decide. However, at the very least a warrior of the golden city shouldn't leave without a weapon." And indeed, the moment he spoke those words FERGHUS would discover that a bright light shone within his hands, a weapon waiting to manifest in a form of his own imagination! Still, there was one person left, the peculiar Digimon known as Blight . "I see that Plutomon's grasp over your existence has been firm, but do not despair, for those halls of mine shall never become consumed by evil! I'll extend my hospitality to you Blight, and will personally ensure to find a means to remove the mark, and Plutomon's corrupting touch over you..." He approached Blight, and yet while his tone sounded like a kind King caring for his ailing vassal, there was a certain coldness in his gaze toward Blight. "Yet, two of you have yet to answer me with what boon they desire..." ----- Rewards: Everyone's mark (aside from Blight) has been purified/replaced by: JUPITERMON'S BLESSING - A holy blessing gained by earning Jupitermon's favor. This ability endows the character blessed with it a 20% overall damage increase to their abilities if they are the Vaccine type, as well as reducing overall damage taken from Dark Digivolutions by 20%. Additionally, this blessing strengths one's resolve. The character it is bonded with is immune to all forms of mind control or otherworldly possession (unless the posession has the ability to over-ride blessings). They are also slightly more resilient against poisons and cursing effects, reducing the duration of those effects by one turn, unless the effect in question would only last for one turn. This blessing fades if Jupitermon is killed. Boon Rewards (will be given after this thread ends): Zachary Scryer Haruhi Ryuukami Rukia Date : +1000 BITS for each person Sebastian Devaroux : +10 Posts, 52. Plugin: Adrenaline, 100% boost power for 2 turns and if you don't have a card reader plugin yet you get that also FERGHUS : Red digizoid gun weapon of your own design, has red digizoid ammo Adam Jackson Yana Sekigawa : didn't decide on your boons yet. Blight , you're going to stay behind to have a nice chat with Jupiter after this. But you'll still get your rewards also after said thing ends.

[Adam Jackson]

As the warm feeling embraced Adam and his mark was removed he couldn't help but close his eyes and just embrace the feeling. It was like a parents hug or a warm soothing breeze. As the feeling left him the young tamer pulled up his sleeve to see that the dark mark was indeed gone. Adam and his digimon then watched and listened as the almighty jupitermon granted each request one after the other while saying that Blight needed further help. As Jupitermon spoke to Fergus, Adam couldn't stop himself from walking over to his friend and patting his arm.

"Don't worry old man, as long as we are all working together no one can stop us! We will have this world saved before Plutomon can even blink!"

As Jupitermon said that two of the warriors hadn't yet chosen their gifts Adam raised his eyebrow and begin scratching the back of his head as he thought hard about what he wanted from a god. He was never one for material possessions and so he truly had no idea what to wish for. It wasn't long however until Renae stepped past him and her brother and knelt down in a respectful bow as she looked up at the mighty god before her.

"Lord Jupitermon sir, I would like you to consider my request for a gift in the stead of my young tamer. The gift is not for me but for him. Young Adam has been in this world, fighting for our kind for eight long years. He was taken away from the affection of his parents and family when he was but a child. We have found many of this worlds treasures, helped save cities and he has put his life on the line every single day. What I ask of you is not a material possession or some form of power but another persons help. My tamer has given much for our world but the one thing I will not allow him to give up is the chance at true love and affection. I humbly ask if you would have any young female followers that would consider giving my young Adam, my tamer and foster child, the chance and love he has long since earned but been denied."

As he listened to his female twin digimon speak, Adam's eyes couldn't stop themselves from being filled with tears. Adam had long given up hope of ever finding love outside of his family and digimon and finding a life outside of combat. Hearing his digimon's request truly touched his heart. Adam's eyes went wide as Remy was the next to step up and bow next to his sister.

"Jupitermon sir, if my sisters request cannot be granted, I also have one in the place of my young tamer. I feel deep down that my sister and I are close to reaching the stage of mega. I humbly ask for a small donation of your strength so that we can be that much closer to reaching that rare stage so that in this up coming battle we can not only better protect our young charge but your city."

Adam's cheeks were soaked in proud tears at this point as both of his digimon acted so selflessly and acted only for their benifit.

"You guys..."

 Jupitermon

[Zachary Scryer]

Jupitermon Yana Sekigawa (OOC: A bit one sided if the mark is vaccine benefit only >< and i am variable. Only works if i face a vaccine type) 

What happened was rather spectacular. With the blessing of Jupitermon, the mark on both Panthermon and Zachary transformed from a red stigmata to a golden one and the itching was gone from it. Even though it was a difference kind of power, the curse of it was now gone. That alone was a blessing. Panthermon actually cracked a smile too as he felt the dark power of the mark leave. 

"Thank you, Jupitermon. "  Panthermon replied and bowed his head. There was no doubt he and Zachary were grateful for the boon and the mark's power changed.

"Thank you Jupitermon for your support-- Ironically, since you denied aid to building Nexus before..."
he mumbled the last part. (OOC: Prelude for Nexus arc when group goes to city to ask for support for Nexus and was denied digicore for it) . "Believe me, sir. We won't spend the money frivolously. I'm aiming to spend it only for the formation of our guild. Thank you."

As the events further unfolded, it seemed they had a great challenge before them. They would fight off Plutomon's forces. For Panthermon, a digimon created to be a guardian who used darkness against darkness, was a true calling for the digimon. Even if both he and his tamer had ill feelings of Jupitermon's motives.

Looking to Yana, he was glad she was going to be there, including others he knew. "We will do all in our power to protect this city. I just hope it won't end like it did for Triton city." he said, hoping to make more of a difference for his friends than he did before. Back then he was hardly any help. But now that Panthermon and he were stronger, they might just have a chance to save lives.

[The lady of the Golden City]

A beautiful day, within a beautiful city for a beautiful lady. Yes, the Lady of the Golden City had been enjoying a stroll along the halls of Jupitermon's grand city when suddenly she felt a call, it was a subtle call, almost like hearing the chirps of the birds upon the dawn of a pleasant spring morning. The Lady was summoned, by nobody else than the grand Jupitermon himself. She was rather fond of the city, in the end it matched her radiant beauty as she approached the location of her summoning, hearing the chattering voices of some visitors, and yet being the bashful maiden she was, the lady decided to don a disguise in the form of a invisibility program, cloaking herself from the eyes of man and Digimon alike and slowly but steadily turned around the corner to see the gathering.

Two Angewomon, pale in comparision to her divine beauty were tending to the mighty lord Jupitermon, and what did she see among his guests? A young human who she could only describe as the most handsome specimen she had ever seen crossing those halls! Althought a part of her desired to go straight to Adam Jackson , she decided to wait. In the end surely Jupitermon had summoned her for a reason. Perhaps he desired to surprise the boy in exchange for his aid in the upcoming conflict with Plutomon?

Just hang on a little bit longer my sweet prince, soon we shall dance within those halls as you embrace me while the jazz band plays the most divine of tunes in the background...

Yes, in the end Jupitermon was a mighty digimon, and granting a wish like the one Adam had, surely would be within his capacities...

------

The Lady of the Golden City is currently in stealth, and can not be detected by anyone aside from Jupitermon. Her role will be revealed soon.

[Blight]

Blight's stomach turned. He sensed things had gone awry. Then again, Jupitermon wanted his presence. Alone. This could, in a strange way, be a good thing. But he was beginning to doubt it. His lie was frivolous and unsubstantiated. His tone was nervous. His acting was pure shit. All of it: see through. 'I'm actually afraid. God damn, I've never been afraid before! I can't get my shit straight. Normally I'm the first guy to give the finger to a challenge. What is wrong with me?' He staggered. Visibly. As everyone else collected their rewards and took off, he was left behind like a discarded teddy bear. He didn't have a partner to comfort him and take him home. This Digimon was completely alone, in the face of this god. Things were not looking so hot.

Turning to Adam, feeling sick as ever, he listened to the twin Digimon make their case. Was it okay to ask a reward that great? Mega level? Blight knew about DNA digivolution and that twins had the uncanny ability to merge themselves at higher levels. 'Fucking twincest, gross' he thought. It was a difficult skill to come by, and they figured Jupitermon would just hand it to them? 'What's the catch?' He could feel the tinfoil settling on his noggin again. Recruitment drive. Yep. He was absolutely convinced now. Soldiers needed a reason to fight, yet they also needed incentive. These kids were going to keep pushing the envelope, reaping greater rewards, but at a greater debt to their new King. Jupitermon had every single one of these fuckers by the balls. Except him. He had Blight by the throat.

"You gonna brainwash me like you did these guys?"

Oh. A challenge. With what little dignity he had left, the Hazardmon fought back. Courage restored, all was well! Except for his safety, his life, his...well, he didn't own anything else. There was no one to punish except himself. His little show of impudence would answer all of his questions. This whole ceremony was bigger than anyone in the room. If he died sticking up for himself, so be it. He couldn't afford to crumble in front of pricks like this anymore. A pause. "...Or are you just going to put me to bed?" Blight taunted.

Go get him, Jupes.

Haru was struggling... Obviously, given all the unpleasant circumstances of her mark finally having affected her partner. But she wasn't down yet. From how close she was she easily overheard her confession to her partner. A bit late, but better late than never, right...? But what truly surprised her was what Vee answered. He took to sharing a secret of his own, something that caught both Yana and Ari off guard: Both of them were curious, both of them wanted to ask him more about it, yet both of them knew this was a moment between tamer and Digimon they just couldn't intrude on. It would have to wait... One by one Jupitermon approached each of the group, granting each of them the wishes granted in one form or another. Haru and another girl asked for funding, as did Zachary... Sebastian asked for power and got it; including a new digimon card reader, complete with what apppeared to be a power boosting card. And then came Yana's turn. She shuddered as the imposing Digimon approached her, but for once there was no fear... Awe, hope, resolve, she had those in plenty but no fear. But as the titanic god finally reached her and approved of her answer, he also said something preoccupating that made Yana cock her head slightly: "What do you m- AAAAH!!", she cried out as the sudden shock of the cleansing lightning caught her off guard, but it was over as soon as it began; there wasn't really any pain, but the electrifying feeling was often associated with one caught her completely off guard, coursing from her head to her toes, and when it was over the eerie mark on her nape had been replaced by a golden one. Instead of the wierd throbbing nurturing her dark emotions, she instead felt a soothing, reassuring tingling, one final aftershock of the god man digimon's power. Haru would have likely recieved her blessing at the same time since Yana was still touching her, but even then she would have probably not be caught off guard like that... But in the end, that was done, and Yana looked as if a huge weight had been lifted off her chest, "T-thank you... Jupitermon-sama..." That left the two Solo Digimon, Leomon and Hazardmon. The former recieved a weapon and the latter... Nothing...! He went and complained about how he was under Plutomon's control, but something was obviously off. Even Yana could notice as much, but she knew every word out of her mouth that not agreeing with him would be interpreted as justification, so she simply shook her head, staying silent. "I guess all those phantoms were brainwashing too...", Ari commented. Indeed Jupitermon wasn't doing this out of the kindness of his heart. That much was impossible. But up until now, they had been drawn into the war anyway; why not cooperate with a powerful ally instead of doing it themselves? Whoever gave them that mark certainly tried to forcefully drag them to their side, neither Yana nor Ari felt any compelling to oblige it. Quite the opposite... And then Jupitermon's words sunk in... She had yet to ask for a boon... That's right, what she had previously asked was what Jupitermon was ready to give them in the first place. Wasting not a second, she pulled out a large sum of bits, converting it into a large, raw data pack and holding it up: "I was saving this for a strong weapon... Then I remembered I'd end up drawing all forms of lightning to me.", she explained, raising up a data pack containing over 4000 bits; enough for a Huanglong ore weapon crafted by Jupitermon's own brethren, Vulcanusmon, "But that isn't so bad, is it...? To become a lightning rod, drawing it onto myself and away from others. The way you wield Lightning makes me believe that might be possible... Could you turn this into a blessed weapon capable of achieving that?"

When one light falters, another is reborn!

The warmth, it felt so beautiful. so powerful, it seemed to ignite around Sebastian, flowing from him covering himself and Yukimi Botamon, yet this digimon would not power up to her rookie form like she was capable of doing. The fresh digimon would remain, though she was much more alert, you culd tell something had happened. The blessing of Jupitermon, followed by the item that flowed from underthe cup. The blessing seemed to form something else. His digivice seemed to morph, adding on a different part, he had seen it before, he had seen the card reader thus he knew what it was, he had also taken the card, it honestly wasn't what he had expected to be gifted, utilizing the cards, that had never been his plan. If it helped him, if he could fully fight Gigyas with it. If he could enhance the power, if he and Penguinmon could become even stronger in a way that they could be on even terms with Gigyas. Then they could do something.

Sebastian would take this time to look around, judging the faces of the others, Haru he knew, he knew her from the mountain, though they had rarely spoken during that trip, Yana and her were best friends thus Sebastian understood, he also understood that she had been tainted with darkness, her mark was one of the worst. He felt he had it bad, She had it worse, the others he didn't know, but he definatly did not trust them, especially the one Jupitermon named Blight, apparently there was something else going on there.

Sebastian would wait patiently, he and YukimiBotamon would hold their tongue until everyone had had there gifts granted or until it seemed there was an appropritate pause. "Jupitermon, I'd like to ask you about a strange Digimon, His name, is Gigyas, Yana and I met him, he took our ...he took someone with him, someone shrowded in darkness. He was strong, he was just toying with us, but he mentioned the olympians, and i believe he has a plan to destroy you all or attempt to. You already granted me a gift, but i need information, we need to know as much about him, about Plutomon and Gigyas, is their a relation between them, is their anything else, do you know anything else about them, does he have a group, does he work with anyone else. We need to know as much as possible, going in blind isn't our thing" Sebastian would say as he pocketed the card. "And if the chance arises, Gigyas is mine" Sebastian would say fiercly. "Actualy...he's ours" Yukimibotomon would screech in anger.

[FERGHUS]

"Then yew best keep to those words. Ah know some of these young fokes ain't the brightest, and Ah've seen some dumb ones git themselves killed a few times over the years. Or at least heard about it. But believe me when Ah say the moment yer promises to anyone here is willin'ly broken, expect me ter drop yer side and go off on mah own. Not sayin' Ah'd go and join Plutomon's sorry ass, but there ain't no personal issues Ah have doin' the same thang Ah've done fer years, leavin' yew to this mess. But again, that there's the worst case scenario," the lion bestowed towards this holy king. Heck, the old man was surprised how patient Jupitermon was being overall, especially with the Plutomon ally directly in the room.

But the holy bastard had found one of the things which distracted the lion: the requested weapon. In his hands rested a deep crimson hunting rifle, which looked well made by the looks of it. Red Digizoid make. Not the strongest of the ores in the world, but dang if it wasn't one of the sturdiest! Ferghus held it properly in his hands, examining every inch from the barrel, the ammo cartridge conveniently in its slot, among other parts of the rifle. Muttering a few things, the old lion grunted, "This thang's got a nice scope piece here. Gonna have ter fire this later, check the distance.." Slinging the gun over his shoulder, that strap allowing the weapon to have easy storage when on hand, the Leomon bent forward, taking a few, long breaths.

Fuck, he wanted a smoke. Screw the fact he was in front of the highest nobility in the Digital World! Reaching into a pouch pocket, he grabbed his box of cigarettes and a lighter, reaching the tobacco stick up to his mouth. The small, plastic tank of gas fluid clicked a few times, the lion's enormous thumb having little trouble grasping the object, lighting the cigarette with ease. Ferghus inhaled as he placed his box o' cigs and lighter back into the pouch, bringing his hand back up to remove the burning stick. The old man exhaled, a fog of smoke rolling out of his jaws. He needed to clear his head, and listening to the others in the room helped him to determine what he needed to say.

That one person in the room he knew was bothering him. Even his two partners seemed, at least to Ferghus, to be pushing their limits of power a little too quickly. Growling, keeping his lit cigarette in his jaws, he spoke up, "ADAM. Boy. Git over here now. Right now Ah'm thinkin' yew need ter hear somethin' from me, and it ain't all praise."

[Rukia Date]

Mikemon Delusional: Yes Confidence: 100%

1000 bits.

She had seen a lot more money working for DATS, and the damages done to Triton was a lot more than this.

But she knew better than to anger a Digimon far above her level, and hearing that this was all he could give for now, she was going to assume this was a down payment of sorts, which was better than nothing.

"Just don't forget later you said this was for the time being."

Mostly everyone else had gotten their reward as well, although the most amusing request she had heard, were those twin Digimon requesting jungle boy would meet someone who would love him.

Olympus Digimon or not, even she knew that couldn't be possible. He couldn't just make someone love this kid.

That wasn't love at all.

And if it wasn't for the Leomon stepping up to do so, she would have gone and said something herself.

Where they really the only ones that thought the request was weird? She was looking at everyone else in the room, and only found they were preoccupied with the rewards they had received from the Olympus Digimon.

Huh.

"There is a difference between charity and a reward Zachary Scryer. However, since you reminded me of your 'guild' let me provide you some wisdom from an Olympian..." Jupitermon took a step toward Zachary, looking down at both the human and his Digimon partner when he finally explained in a surprisingly stern tone. "Those who consider themselves a force of neutrality will find that very rarely they will be able to remain this forever. Someday conflicts will rise, whenever it involves one of your companions, or yourself. At such a point you will come to regret your neutrality, for those who don't join a side, will find themselves without allies when they are truly needed." His gaze slowly turned toward Blight's declaration, a hearty laugh following, yet it was concealed behind a powerful pressure, the strength of his gaze that bore down onto Blight likely enough to make the Digimon feel the reason why so many people both respected yet feared Jupitermon. "Brainwashing is an act a villainous mastermind does to his minions. I am neither a villain or are you my minions. I am a king, and you are all vassals who accepted my call to arms, keep this in mind Blight. I am not like the one who branded you with that tainted power. If you desire to leave after I cleansed the mark that haunts you, then you are free to do so." He resumed his focus onto Yana, who seemingly desired a weapon to protect those dear to her, a brief nod following from Jupitermon as he raised a hand toward the large fount of wealth the girl had amassed, and while the pack that contained the BITS started to shrink, the data streaming upwards toward his hand he explained in a calm tone. "To become a lightning rod, to absorb the dangerous currents that would threaten your enemies is a noble gesture, but one beyond your capacities to wield as a human being. Although you might be unable to wield I shall grant upon you a sword that allows you to wield lightning as a weapon! Perhaps with this you'll be able to strike down your foes before they become a threat to those you hold dear." A snap of his fingertips came as Vulcanusmon appeared, holding a long naginata in his hands, and as he presented the weapon Jupitermon grabbed a hold of it, causing the metal blade to become wrapped in a coursing aura of electricity, sparks erupting violently around it. "Raijin no Houyou... Raijin's Embrace, I believe that this is a suitable name for a weapon that channels lightning itself and is wielded by you. Remember Yana, this does not make you immune to those who would seek to attack you, a fair warning for such a promising champion like yourself..." Yet as he finished speaking Sebastian seemed to inquire for information, making Jupitermon scowl for a moment. "Giygas, one of the Seven, if only they could have all been killed instead of imprisoned. I would not be surprised if Plutomon somehow aided them, he would do anything to win... Although I'm uncertain about this particular member of their group, he is an elusive one, and little is known about him aside from the fact he is a powerful and manipulative creature..." Of course he didn't miss Rukia's remark, replying with a hint of amusement in his tone. "Yes, I won't forget it." However, the stench of smoke filled the air, causing Jupitermon to frown at the Leomon, when suddenly Adam's Digimon their request reached his ears. A request for a girlfriend was made, causing Jupitermon to, for the first time look as if he was genuinely surprised. Not once did he imagine ANY being to make such a request, and yet here he was... Not power, wealth or glory drove this boy onward, but he desired a women to call his own. Quite a peculiar request... He raised a hand to his chin, rubbing it lightly till he turned to look at the two Angewomon at his side. "What do yo--" However, before he could finish his sentence the two angelic maidens shook their heads firmly, a rushed step backwards making Jupitermon sigh softly. Should have expected that much. However, he slowly raised a hand, attempting to rest it on Adam's shoulder in a showing of sympathy. "I'm afraid even a Olympian like me is unable to accomplish such a task Adam Jackson . It's simply beyond my capacities to grant, how about you instead wish for----" "HOLD IT!" ------ Due to 3 days being passed I was told to continue this topic. Yana Sekigawa her Huanglong Ore Naginata has been enhanced! Raijin's Embrace allows Yana to channel electricity through her weapon, granting it an additional damage value of a Champion-tier lightning attack with each strike! Please wait with posting till the Lady has replied. Everyone's rewards will be added in a moment, after this round everyone can leave if wanted aside from Blight who will be staying for an aftermath to this meeting.

[The lady of the Golden City]

A sudden shout came from nearby, causing Jupitermon to turn toward the source of the noise, and then she appeared. Her stealth program fading away the Golden Lady emerged from the shadows, walking, along the plaza with the grace and swagger of a true noblewoman, as if she was a goddess among men.

"How dare you consider my prince beyond salvation my dear Jupitermon? Do you not see the charisma in his innocent eyes, the ferocity in his wild looks, the innocence in his smile? DOES IT NOT STIR YOUR HEART?!"

With an almost dramatic sob her wings spread as she bounced toward Adam, the speed of the motion so quick that he would likely have found himself receiving a peck on the cheek before she landed before his feet, a wink following.

"Do not mind Jupiter Adam, he has lost his appreciation for something different after all those nights with Angewomon and Junomon, I tell you, change is a healthy thing in any relationship! Isn't that why polygamy is so famous among your fellow humans?"

Once bounce, two bounces and the Golden Lady was standing a few steps away from Adam, wings beating lightly as she ascended back to float around the height of his face.

"But do not despair my sweet prince. They say love is blind, and while I'm not, my love for you is strong enough to overcome any and all obstacles! Now let us leave this place, and dance in the great halls of the White City, to the melody of the sweetest jazz tunes as you entrance me with your sweet whispers and gentle hugs. Hnngh just thinking of it sends me shivers down my spine!"

It appeared the Lady had appeared to grant Adam his wish. However, It seemed that the lady in question was... A Golden Numemon.

------
Adam has received:
Sweet Kiss of the Golden Lady:
Every thread that Adam is in will have a chance to summon the Golden Lady. However, any unrequited or 'too over the top' flirting will call for a guarantee summon. There seems to be a way to remove this effect, but how remains to be seen...

[Blight]

Damn. 'You're not my minions?' Who was he kidding? Jupes was so full of shit that Blight could feel the verbal diarrhea beginning to pile up in his throat. This so-called god was fulfilling all of these idiots' wishes without a second glance and very few questions. No one was that kind. No one. Hazardmon had been around the block enough times to know that everyone had a motive, especially those with power. Jupitermon was hardly charitable; he did little to stop death or poverty or corruption in the Digital World. If he was truly benevolent, he would have intervened by now, stopped SkullGreymon himself, and rained righteous fury on those who killed the innocent. Clearly, this deity figure was either hilariously naive, horribly ignorant, or a tyrant whose interests lay only with himself. Blight belived the latter. Challenging such a powerful foe would not come easy. In all likelihood, he was facing certain death. His defiance was stupid, even if it was dignified. At a minimum, he prayed that his last stand would be a formidable one and would leave an impression on his significantly more powerful enemy.

'Wait, am I thinking this through enough?' A legitimate question. The fact that Jupitermon would allow him to keep his Mark intrigued him. The very suggestion that he would do such a thing made Blight begin to think that Jupitermon intended to spare his life. But for what purpose? This imminent confrontation wasn't the regal death he expected. No, something told him he had a little more in store for one as impertinent as Hazardmon. For the time being, no one knew of Blight's secret allegiance. As far as the Digital World was concerned, he was just another mercenary Virus-type out there to rustle everyone's feathers. An ignorant sod. Unbeknownst to all of these moronic digidestined, he'd been collecting information on them the entire time. Jupitermon's call to action was a special case; he had no intended to arrive here and challenge him. Blight's intuition had intervened instead, advising him to resist curing his Mark. The anguish of his past continued to haunt him. It hurt, and had hurt him for too long already. He'd grown tired. Now, he was realizing how weak he'd let himself get. To beg? To grovel? Huge mistakes. Pitiful. His affliction was necessary for the coming battle, for his survival. This was all a test. If he managed to come out alive, things would change. No stupid gift was worth owing Jupitermon. Not even a thank you. He refused to owe anything. Not anymore.

"Who died and made you king? I came here looking for a cure, but that's clearly not what you're offering. I was wrong. I'm better off being sick. I'm better off dying of this cancer than succumbing to your will. Only a guy who isn't infallible has to remind himself how strong he is, mate. I may be dense, but I can see right through you." More brave words. Blight could feel his ironclad balls swishing between his legs. Certified badass.

Everyone else? 'Pussies' he thought, glancing around.
