The marked predators [Mission]

[Reikiko Tsukino]

The Ashlands, one of the deeper areas within the underworld of their realm. Many Digimon frequently avoided this place, likely because of the rumors of rampaging Digimon, or downright cruel and wicked entities that prowled among the lands. It was fortunately a day where little to no ash was falling, perhaps because the volcano was inactive currently, but that was no reason to feel reassured. A group of brave Deputymon had gathered near the outskirts of the Ashlands, near a small canyon between two hills where they had set up camp. It was a simple makeshift encampment, barely had the essentials in the form of a collection of beds, a tiny wooden shed that was seemingly used as a toilet, and then there was a small barricade around the encampment itself. It seemed that whatever was going on, it was serious because two Deputymon were scouting on top of the nearby hills, and their leader, a seemingly larger than average Deputymon was standing at the center of the camp, a large Birdramon at his side.

"Chief, I done as you asked!"

A smaller Deputymon approached the camp, giving the seemingly leader of the group a polite salute before rushing back to his patrol. It would be a dangerous task that awaited him, but it was for that reason the Chief Deputymon of one of the Digimon Peacekeeper Corps had ordered that several tamers were summoned for this mission. They were all special in their own way, their own means of helping the Peacekeepers in dealing with this threat. It didn't matter how they were contacted, as long as the alert reached them safely that was okay.

"I hope they arrive soon... Who knows what will happen once those weirdos decide to set their plans into motion..."

But for now all he could do was wait...

Hey everyone, so for this mission I will be posting in two possible ways. One involves me posting as a 'GM', what will make me write a post without a template to show that I'm writing as a GM for the mission, and the other will involve me posting with a Template to show that I'm writing as Rei.

For the start of the mission everyone will have been contacted earlier, whether through digital means like a message, or talked to by a small Deputymon, after accepting the request/or opening the message send the digivices of everyone will point toward the camp in the dark area.

The Deputymon will have only mentioned that a dangerous threat is preparing itself for an opportunity to strike, and that the Deputymon Chief needs help in stopping them before they threaten the Digital world!

When it comes to the Dark Area, a healthy habit is always to expect anything. An insane Digimon attacking you, some evil force trying to destroy or control you. Basically if it was harmful to yourself, you should expect it to happen to you while you're here.

Though nobody would have expected the sudden flash of light in the middle of the Deputymon camp, followed by the appearance of three people. A tall, lanky human in white, and two Pawn Chessmon, one white and one black. Needless to say several of the Deputymon were startled by the sudden appearance, not noticing the light fading from the man's digivice's. What they did notice was that the man was swaying slightly.

"Alright," the man spoke up, giving a light hiccup, "One of you guys asked me to turn up, here I am. Who's ass am I kicking!"

Eyes would immediately fall to the flask the man was slipping back into his coat, before turning their attention to the two Pawn Chessmon. The white one gave a small, sheepish shrug of confirmation, while the black one chuckled.

One of the tamers had arrived, and was apparently drunk.

[Alex Norfleet]

The dark area of the digital world was a place that most tamers thought of as hell, the digimon that resided in this area were the ruthless of the ruthless. They were out to make a name for themselves at the expense of the weaker digimon. This was a place most attempted to avoid, and one that Alex made a note to never enter into.

A Deputymon made his way to the boy, and was flabbergasted when he realized that he was a tamer working with a partner. “Now tan my hide partner you are a tamer?! Well shucky darns my boss the head Deputymon has sent me to acquire the help of tamers to take down varmint that can cause some major troubles.”

The boy would scratch his head as if trying to understand what was going on that was so urgent. “Well, I have made a goal for myself to stand up for those who are weak so I will go if Drake here agrees.” The tamer would look to his digimon to see if his thoughts coincided with his. “If they need our help Alex we must go, that’s what we were sent here for.” The tamer would nod his head, and would raise his digivice in the air causing a bright light to form around him, and his recently digivolved partner Dracomon to the encampment of the Deputymon.

Looking to the side he noted a rather strange tamer with twin digimon that had arrived on the scene shortly before himself. Making his way over to the man he would smirk, “Hey there buddy, were you called here for this as well? Have you got any idea what we are up against?” He would then turn to the Deputymon, and would smile “My name is Alex, and this is my partner Drake you called for us to come help out?” Drake would walk out from behind Alex, and would energetically shout, “We are grateful that you felt us relevant in your endeavors we will do our best not to fail you.”

(Notes: I'm using a template too, just makes things easier on me if I do. Organization and all that.) Kiyo stuck out his hand to catch the ashes of soot slowly falling down, before smudging them across his hand and shaking it to get the dust particles off. This was his first time going to the Dark Area, but he supposed it was for a good reason. He was on a mission, after all. It was just unfortunate that it happened to be in one of the most dangerous places in the digital world. At least he didn't have to worry about it being boring. The distress signal this person put out seemed to make it sound like an emergency... And unless that emergency was a ham sandwich, then it must be important. He strolled into the camp, and deadpanned a bit at the sight of two others. Lovely... teamwork, he decided to keep himself appear level headed, however. The only one there who didn't seem to have a digimon. To anyone who didn't know better, it would probably look to be an awkward sight. Well, not as awkward as the drunk man and his two pawnchessmon. The teen snorted a little, "You know this is suppose to be an emergency, right? You sure you can handle this in your state?" He tried his best not to sound like he was picking a fight, but Kiyo seemed to have developed a hard time sounding nice and generous to people. It wasn't that he was a bad person; he just didn't like the idea of a drunkard holding them back. He then seemed to have an about face, as his eyes lightened up and he made a polite bow. "Kiyoshi Nakahara. I'm here to help with your problem, Deputymon." The teen made a small grin, and put his hand on his side. Trying to explain why he had no digimon was gonna be fun, he just really wanted to see if there were any reactions.

No matter how she looked at it, this was a bad idea... Indeed Yana had sometimes regretted visiting many of the places she wound up in, but none as strong as the Dark Area. Everything here felt eerie, ominous. But she arrived at the urge of a call for help to several tamers; for a job yet unknown. Her desire to help was strong enough to make her cross heaven and hell, especially if it meant her friends would be there too. No way she would let them go on such a dangerous journey if she wasn't there to accompany them, even if it was to the Dark Areas. And what to say of the part of the Dark Area she actually found herself in? Yana didn't know that much... What she did know was that - despite not being a very religious person - if there was such a thing as hell, it probably looked a lot like these Ashlands. Fire and brimstone, gloomy, smoke filled air, unbearable heat. And all the demons and Dragons rampaging in the skies above...? Hell indeed... Indeed she was a person used to the cold (having lived most of her youth in Russia), so all this heat didn't really agree with her, and the feeling was mutual. Yana had done away with her jacket and tied it to her waist - leaving only her tank top - yet that didn't stop her from fanning herself as she walked, her body flush with heat so much even Ari was worried, "Are you alright, Nana-chan...?", to which Yana just smiled shook her head, ironically too tired to waste energy by talking. It was fortunate that there was no soot falling, or else that would have been even worse. The amount of smoke and ash in the air was too much as it were... She grabbed a bottle of water from her satchel and drunk a big gulp, offering the rest to Ari, who refused it. She poured another good bit of water on herself to freshen up the moment she finally saw the deputy camp. Turns out they were stronger than they made it out to be, the Deputymon who asked her to go here made it sound pretty dramatic... Not to mention pushy with his invitation to play a game of cards afterwards. Upon arrival, she noticed three humans and three digimon, but was promptly puzzled by the sight before her: Not one, but two Pawnchessmons?! Granted, they were of different colors. She recognized Alex and promptly waved at him, "Hi Alex! We keep running into each other in bad places huh...?" She was surprised to see the two pawnchessmon actually were partnered with the same tamer, even more surprised to realize the boy complaining at the drunk, older tamer didn't have any partner to speak of. Maybe he was off exploring somewhere? Regardless, he promptly introduced himself and Yana followed suit, with a slight bow and an angelic smile, "Sekigawa Yana. Looking forward to working with you all!" "And I'm Ari~", the Gatomon beside her introduced herself right after that as the shy Yana simply adjusted her glasses and looked around...

The dark area. Shed never been here. Not once. She didn't even know about it until... When... When did she learn about it again? Something told her about... Or someone. Who knows, it didn't really matter now. She was on her way. She was looking for... Looking a thing. A something. She had this feeling. Something was here. Her heart felt so... Liberated here. The closer she seemed to get to the so called dark area, the more alive she felt. She was... She was legitimately excited! Happy even! It was so hot, yet she felt pleasantly cool. Haru, normally quite stoic and mild was almost skipping through the hellscape. Vee was lost of course. He'd noticed slight changes in Haru but nothing quite this drastic. As they got closer to this dark zone she got more and more... Chipper. Not only that be she was dressed rather... Light. Usually she could be found in shorts, but nothing like this. Her cropped red jacket was a complete contrast to her normal preference toward cool colors. She kept it zipped up, mostly. Her top was showing but she still his her dark mark from any and all. As the duo passed through a small town they noticed a small collection of kids, most were fairly close to their digimon partners. Ordinarily Haru would have just moved on, however the very familar slim fligure of a certain friend, paired with her adorable knee high kitten made the blonde gasp a little with joy. "yaaaaaAAAAAAANA~!" she's call out playfully as the athletic blonde bounded up to her friend, throwing her arms around the Russian gymnist's waist in a surprise hug, laughing in a sunny tone as Vee rushed to keep up, waving to Ari, the only familiar face with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, having no words to excuse or explain Haru's apparent happy clone. "How have you beeeen! I missed you! You need to give me your number sometime, jeez!" the orphan would say with a pleasant little chuckle, only to peek around her friends tall, slender form to the gathered group of digidestined. She lowered her sunglasses to look at the bunch with a cute, inquisitive sort of look as she sized each of them up. "Hey, who are your friends, huh? Whatcha doin' all the way out here? Savin' the world? Beatin' the bad guys? The usual?" shed say with a teasing, confident, friendly grin. Shed press her chin gently into Yana's back, hoping to get the deceptively cute nerd to arch it for her. "You gonna introduce me or whaaaaat~?" the sporty blonde said with a genuinie, jovial, playful sort of giggle. SPOILER: Click to show

Most of the Deputymon seemingly had only exchanged short greetings upon the arrival of each individual tamer, clearly too busy with their tasks to be able to enjoy the chatter. Still, with each member of the team seemingly having gathered the leader of the corps, a rather huge Deputymon that towered over everyone, perhaps a mutant even approached the group with a hearty chuckle.

"I see that all of you have arrived safely, and one even started the celebratory drinking, guess I won't need to pull out some bottles myself huh? Speaking about convenient!"

The Deputymon laughed briefly before straightening his expression, nodding toward the nearby Deputymon as he started talking in a more stern and serious tone.

"I'm the Chief Deputymon of this corps, just call me chief for this mission. The reason why you all have been gathered here is because... there is a rather problematic situation brewing, and we got neither the time or luxury to wait till the Olympus finally get off their lazy arse-- Ahem anyway, about this mission..."

The Deputymon signed briefly as he gestured toward the distant hills among the Ashlands.

"We got a nasty problem here. You all likely heard about it, Digimon being harassed by some weirdos, told to give up their BITS or whatever they got on them. Usually nothing new, but recently those reports have been different. No more do those weirdos simply harass people, there have been... reports of deletion. We're not sure what is going on, but some survivors all tell the same story: All the culprits got this peculiar brand upon their bodies and they been preaching about 'cleansing'. No idea what they plan to cleanse, but I want no murderers doing any cleaning in our cities, ya know?"

The chief nodded his head firmly as he continued.

"To make matters worse, we got reasons to believe there is some big event that will happen sometime soon, because a lot of them have been sighted appearing and disappearing in the Ashlands before we can even arrest them! So your task is simple: Figure out who those idiots are, apprehend or deal with them in a way you see fit. However, time is of the essence, if those guys succeed in whatever they are planning... Let's just say none of us wants to find out."

It seemed the Deputymon was open to listen to any questions, but if things were as urgent as they seemed then perhaps it would be a good idea to search for the culprits!

It wasn't long before the other members of this little team appeared in the encampment. While Hyde normally preferred to work by himself and his partners, he wasn't opposed to working with others when he had to. Just so long as they didn't get in his way. When the small, dark haired kid asked him if he knew what was up, Hyde merely gave a shrug. All he knew was that these guys needed their help for something, and that they should come here. That was it. Then there was some other kid, who seemed to take offence to Hyde being, well, plastered, asking him if he could handle this. Something about the tone in his voice annoyed the man. "Kid, I can assure you that there are plenty of things I can do while drunk. Building machines, mixing chemical, kicking ass, your mom." He left it at that as he watched two more people, this time girls, appear as well. These two seemed at least a bit more resepctful

Before he could address them, the lead Deputymon stepped forward, and began to explain the situation to them. So some nutjobs were talking about cleansing people huh? It didn't take long for Hyde to figure out what was going on. "Cultists." Hyde snorted, "Count on religious nutjobs to make life difficult. Doesn't seem to hard a mission. Find these nutjobs, kick their ass, go home. Simple as that." He drew his datagun, giving a very good idea as to how he planned to deal with them. "Though who knows, maybe these guys will just commit mass suicide and save us the trouble. But no reason not to be sure."

Alex would watch as the girl that he had met in the shit hole of a sewer wave at him, and he would smile waving back at her. “Hey Yana, it’s been a while since we last saw one another. Yeah its a shame that we can never really get a chance to chill with one another, but hey we are here for a reason. Unlike the last time me, and Drake here have powered up quite a bit since the last time we met. Hopefully we won't be needing too much assistance this time.” Drake would walk over to Ari, and would shake her hand. “Thank you Ari for protecting Alex when I couldn’t your help was something that I will cherish forever. You will be a great friend of mine till the day I am terminated.” The thought of all this girl, and Sebastian had been through with him brought a smile across his face. They had been there without him much more than asking for a little information. Granted, there were somethings he had to learn on his own he still learned valuable skills that helped them to survive.

He would watch in horror as a girl that had apparently known Yana charging her, and giving her one of the biggest hugs he had ever seen. She was of the hyper type, and seemed to be someone that was worthy of trust just vaguely because of how open she was with people she knew. Then all at once the Deputymon chief made his way before the group, and began speaking of all the troubles that were coming to a head. “So, Cultists want to cleanse the world. The simple term for what they are wanting to do is kill, and have a noble reason behind their actions, they need to be stopped.” The Deputymon would then tell him of the great danger that had been brewing, and could potentially be threatening to the digital world. “Those cultists have to be behind all of this I agree with the drunk hopefully they all have too much of the punch.”

The young male snorted at the comment, or at least that's what it started as. Soon after the initial snort, it started to slowly turn into outright laughter. He turned on his heal to try and face the older male, with a small smile on his face. "I'll admit, I walked right into that one." He said, showing a bit of immaturity, not a tinge of embarrassment or insult in sight. "Y'know I wasn't expecting such a composed answer. I like you." He nodded as he said that, before turning away from said person and around at the rest of the group, being as a new one showed up to the party, followed by a small white feline. Kiyo assumed this was her partner. Looked like he was going to be the only solo here after all. He grimaced a bit at the way Alex talked, due to his upbringing he felt uncomfortable when someone started talking like that. It was an impulsive cringe, having lost most faith in other people and trust. In his opinion, it was a very unwise idea to pledge your allegiance to someone for eternity; they could easily back-stab you. However, he wasn't able to hold onto that thought for long. A blonde blur followed by Veemon suddenly ran right into who he had initially assumed would be the main female of the group. The blur happened to be another, only seeming to be excited at seeing her long time friend. Kiyoshi rolled his eyes a bit, but really meant no harm out of it. He wasn't exactly annoyed, maybe more jealous if anything. When the Deputymon began his speech, he heard talks from both other males about this being a cultist act. While he agreed that it was most certainly cult-like behavior, he had a slightly different idea in mind. "I hate extremists." He spoke up loud, putting his hand on his hip and narrowing his eyes. "They probably fall under some religious code, and there might be a certain type of digimon that they really don't like and are targeting." As he talked, he sounded more authoritative than a fifteen year old probably should. He shifted from his playful attitude to one more serious. "Do you have any more specific clues we can use to find out? If we can pinpoint what they've been targeting, it might help us find a circle that will point to where they might be gathering at." He pulled out his D-tector and turned it on, as if trying to find a database that was nonexistent. He groaned, he didn't have a plugin; that would require some saving up to do. He needed to go do a little shopping again. "To me it sounds like it might be vaccine vs virus type situation, or maybe someone who's very very strict about certain pieces of code." He flung his arm down to the side, clutching his d-tector. Detective mode was started, but he didn't know the people before him; and that made him nervous about how they'd take... or if they'd even listen to, his take on the situation. Time was of the essence.

The tall, dark haired and obviously drunk tamer was surprisingly funny... Even if he didn't look it, he seemed quite aware of his surroundings, and all but ready for a comeback when poked by the other tamer (should she really call him a tamer even if he didn't have a partner). Yana actually let out a chuckle at the rather immature comeback, seemed like this older man had a young spirit if anything. Regardless, before long the new acquantainces would become the least of her concerns as she heard somebody call her name, a voice that was just as familiar as it was foreign "Uh...? Haru-chan!! You look happy today~!", Yana realized who she was after a while, though she wasn't expecting such a greeting from her in the first place. Haru always looked so stern and serious. And here she was, brimming with joy! Yana blushed at the sudden contact, but even as she returned the greeting she laid her hand over her friend's hugging arms - all but encouraging her touch - caressing them softly before resting on Haru's hand, "It's nice to see you so cheerful every now and then." One on hand, this was pretty much a dream come true. She looked up to Haruhi ever since she arrived in the Digital world - strove to earn her respect even - and now here she was, wrapping her arms around Yana as if they were the best of friends. Or maybe something else...? No, no way she could like her that way, they were too different. Still, even with a profuse blush on her cheeks, she smiled at the warm feel of her friend behind her, the tender way Haru wrapped her arms around her... She arched her back the way Haru seemed to want it, almost purring as she relished every bit of closeness, quickly addressing her requests even if she didn't let go of her hand: Yana was more than happy to heed her friend's request, positively glowing at the attention Haru was giving her. Her idle hand picked up her phone as she opened the "Digi World" app, instantly linking to her own Digivice, locating Haru's, and sending her own contact information. After that, she moved on to the introductions, pointing to each of the tamers present, "That's Alex and Drake, that's Kiyoshi. And he hasn't told us his name yet...", she commented apologetically as he pointed to Hyde, and then introduced the blonde to everyone else, "This is my friend Haruhi!", after this Haru's Digivice would beep, recieving a message from Yana's containing her contact information. Up until now, Haru had never showed any interest in getting in touch with her, so Yana never bothered to suggest it, but at that moment she all but jumped at the chance. Haru must have had one hell of a nice day if she could be in this mood in such an envoiroment. Most of all, Yana loved seeing her this bright and cheerful, it even made her happier too. "Hi there! What's up with Haru...?", Ari promptly greeted and questioned Vee, though they wouldn't have much time to chat as the Deputymon soon began their report. Apparently Digimon were being harassed and robbed by wierdoes, which wasn't even as big a problem until they actually started getting deleted. Yana shivered at this, almost unnoticeably so but Haru would defenitely feel it. This was awful... Yana shook her head, hearing of how these bad guys not only killed their victims but branded their bodies, calling it cleansing. Both Hyde and Kyoshi showed their disdain at the cultists' actions. The ballerina held onto to Haru's hand a bit tighter, unconsciously leaning into her for comfort and reassurance, "That's... Awful... Too awful...", she muttered, visibly shaken by the hateful enemies. The Deputymon had done the right thing with calling for help, these cultists had to be stopped! Kiyoshi seemed certain this was the usual Virus vs Vaccine kind of deal. Yana just shook her head... It felt more hateful than that, but she wasn't certain enough to speak up. For now, she waited for the Deputymon to answer Kyoshi's questions, as even Ari looked visibly shaken by this.

Haru held up a lone finnger in a corrective manner, looking at the group of gathered tamers. "Girl friend. I'm her girlfriend, Haruhi Ryuukami. Oh! Yeah and that's Vee." shed say turning that finger on her partner, smiling cheerfully as her hands slowly drifted up to the rusky's shoulders, keen on kneading into the mark she knew the other girl had there. Haru was joking of course, but she also knew how to get the most out of her joke without going too far. "Huh? Whatya mean by that, huh? I'm always in a good mood! Jeez, you and Vee, both thinking like this is anything new! Well... I mean... The outfit is new, do you like it?" While Haru teased her friend Vee inched his way closer to Ari, finding a place to stand in the group. Her question was a fair one and he had no answer really. The little blue Dragon shrugged and tensed up the muscles in his neck while shaking his head. "Noooo idea! Woke up today and she said we needed to go exploring. Ever since we got here she's been gettin' happier and happier... It wouldn't be freaky if it weren't for, I mean, ya know, all the hellfire and brimstone..." Her say in an exasperated tone, a light chuckle following his sigh. "What about you? Your lady's intuition got any sort of answers or-?" before either tamer or mon could get an answer to their question, the walking star digimon have the group the lowdown on their targets. A few people seemed a little worried or sickened. Haru just rolled her eyes and shook her head. "More cultist terrorist dudes? God, they're like cockroaches I swear... So, do you want them brough in alive or are we allowed to put these guys down? I mean... I don't wanna say they deserve it... But they kinda totally do..." the blonde would say with an even tone that still retained a playful cadence. She was making light of the information, without losing any sort of seriousness.

The chief Deputymon seemed slightly surprised by the mixture of responses, but after a moment he turned toward Kiyoshi nodding his head firmly in agreement. It was difficult to figure out what the nature, or objective of those cultists were, but the lad had a point.

"That's part of the mission, Kiyoshi was it? To figure out what those cultists are up to. I'd say that your assumptions were correct, if not for the fact it seems they do not care about the attributes of their prey, Virus, Vaccine, Data... they all been targeted before. So I doubt it's just attribute-related"

Still the Deputymon paused for a moment, seemingly thinking about any form of clue or tip to help them on their mission. Perhaps there might be one, but after a moment the Deputymon finally addressed the group once more.

"I wouldn't be surprise if they established a base somewhere, if you'd arrived earlier you could likely have found them with the help of that tamer girl. She was awfully interested in the cultists, and her partner looked like he could pack a punch! I think last time my scouts went on a patrol they saw her investigating some ruins further northwards, but that was about a day ago, so there is no guarantee she is still there."

Yet Haruhi's words, or at least her playful tone seemed to make the Deputymon smile wryly at her, nodding his head curtly.

"According to their crimes, and the situation you have permission to kill them. However, we will need some form of proof if you decide to go that route to show they are dealt with."

A Tamer who went to investigate the cult before them, perhaps an useful source of information to search for? If she was around the ruins to the north, then perhaps there might had been something significant for the group to discover!

Hyde glanced over at the blonde girl, Haruhi was it, and smirked. Good to see he wasn't the only one who was thinking of simply putting down these lunatics like the dogs they are. Hell, the Deputymon even said they had authority to kill them. This day just got better and better. It was too much of a hassle to drag cultists back in, especially if there were a lot of them. "Gotcha, we'll put them down and bring back their fingers or something." Hyde shrugged, taking a swig of his flask before putting it away. It didn't matter just what these cultists wanted. What was more important was what they needed, and that was a bullet to the head.

Then came the interesting part. Someone had gone to investigate some ruins to the north a couple of days ago. Now, normally Hyde would have asked if they had sent her off ahead of them and if they were expected to bring back a body, or just how many people they sent off ahead of them. But he didn't think of that right now, alcohol does that to you. Instead, he glanced down at his partners. "We ever been to some ruins before around here?" Maybe if he could remember some details, it might help. The two Digimon just shrugged. "Does it matter?" Sable asked, "Let's just get going. We need to find these guys fast, remember?" "Yeah, you're right. Let's go kick some zealot ass!"

Alex listened to the way the tamers dealt with the idea of the cultists hell bent on cleansing the digital world. Shyly the man would begin to speak, “I-I have something to say on this matter, I think we should destroy them. If evil is allowed to live it will inevitably spread into a wild fire and consume us all.”

Drake would nod in agreement with the words of his tamer; “We have seen first hand how evil can manifest itself in the digital world I support my Alex’s opinion on the subject.” The dracomon would lower his head, and would take his place standing with Ari, and Vee. The young rookie only really knew Ari, but she was friends with the Veemon so he figured he was safe to associate with.

“So, I know we are going up against these cultists, but is there anything you know for sure about this great force?” Something didn’t sit well with the young tamer it was as though something dark was looming over the group.”

The Deputymon then told the tamers of a digidestined, and her partner digimon. Evidently they were investigating some ruins to the north. This brought out the curious nature of the young tamer, “did you send her out there or is she doing this of her own accord?” he would question as he reached into his pocket pulling out his digivice. He would hit the button in the center pulling up a map; “If she is really still there her digivice is giving off a digital signature, and we can use it to hunt her down. That is assuming she has a digivice.” Though this was highly uncommon for a digidestined to be in the digital world without a digivice. The device is a tamers essential tool for protection/survival in the digital world.
