Episode 6 - Meandering Pathways

The Alpha Guardians come back together in Japan to a serious problem.

Chapter 1

"Ionic force!" Aeromon send his attack forward and let it detonate in a brilliant flash of sound and light above the fighting people on the rooftop below him.

"Sara, can you shoot?" Yolei asked.

"No." She said.

"Just us then." Kelryn said. "Aeromon, set us down." The bird did a speed decent to the roof allowing Kovin, Kelryn and Yolei to jump off with their weapons out. Biyomon and Hawkmon took off over the edge of the building. Kelryn and Yolei went for the girls holding the others down while Kovin went straight for Heléne and Kari. The digimon overcame their shock of Aeromon and began fighting fast to keep them from digivolving. Biyomon and Hawkmon appeared back from the side of the building near TK with Patamon.

Patamon digivolve to ... Angemon digivolve to ... Magnaangemon

Kelryn and Yolei were able to distract the girls enough to allow Wormmon to digivolve, but Palmon was injured and couldn't join in.

Wormmon digivolve to ... Stingmon digivolve to ... Paildramon

"Care to try that blade on someone else?" Kovin said to Heléne. "Or is an unarmed person hanging over the edge of a building to hard for you?" She turned to Kovin and was able to size the situation up to her loss.

"You haven't won."

"I didn't know I was playing." He said. Kari moved her self from the edge of the building over by TK. Aeromon was under direct attack and couldn't manoeuvre or use his attacks in this close. Magnaangemon and Paildramon were trying to break the other three away but couldn't. And there was no way the others could get clear long enough to digivolve. TK nudged Ken and pointed to his digivice.

"Worth a shot." Ken said. The fired their digivices at each other and their digimon responded feeling the pull.

Paildramon, Magnaangemon DNA digivolve to ...

Magnaangemon appeared as almost an X-Ray image, his angelic shielding melded with his body, became metallic and coated his skeleton, and his muscles, while Paildramon's body dissolved and reinforced his exoskeleton in a metallic chrome. The two came together and the resulting entity grew ten long wings all coated with a metal glint.

Metalangemon!

"Metalangemon?" TK and Ken said in unison.

"Flaming sword!" He said in a powerfully deep voice. He clenched his right hand in a fist and a sword of pure fire formed. He swung it at one of the attacking digimon and the flame grew white hot and jumped away from him. It wrapped around the creature like a snake and exploded. The digimon's pixels were barely visible in the air from the blast of light. The other two decided to rethink their attack.

Kovin and Heléne were fighting hard. Her skill was even with his but it was easy to see her stamina wouldn't last. Kovin wasn't trying to hurt her, or even get his sword past hers, he was tiring her and weakening her hands with hard hits to her sword. Kari knelt beside TK.

"I'm sorry." TK said.

"What are you talking about?" Kari asked ripping strips of cloth from his already torn shirt.

"She almost killed you."

"Almost. Don't act like she actually did."

"Flaming sword!" Metalangemon's attack hit again, and another digimon fell. The last, a form of pterodactyl was quite hard to hit. Metalangemon was strong, but like Aeromon and most megas, their strength came at a cost of speed. "Metalangemon! Wait for him and let him circle around and hit him when he's far out!" Ken yelled. The massive angelic digimon stopped firing, biding his time until his prey was at its most vulnerable. The clang of metal was audible behind them. Heléne was breathing hard, almost out of breath.

"Stop this. I don't want to kill you." Kovin said.

"You'll destroy my digivice, which is the same thing." She said.

"You've caused a lot of shit. And you would have killed Kari."

"But I didn't did I?" Clang! The swords clashed again as the pair moved around the roof with little regard for direction.

"Hey, watch the ledge." Kovin said. Heléne looked over the edge, only a metre from her.

"A body falling from the building will draw the police. And a lot of attention people carrying lots of lethal weapons don't need. A giant bird won't go unnoticed." She was now standing with just her toes holding her up.

"Do what you have to." Heléne was surprised Kovin didn't try to talk her out of it. So was everyone else there. He was almost inviting her to do it.

"You want me to do this?" She asked.

"Cops I can handle. Attention we can avoid. Cowardly rogue digidestined piss me off. Go ahead and fucking jump." Heléne wasn't sure. She was trying to force him to back down, but he wasn't. She stepped closer to the inside of the building. "You giving up?"

"No."

"Jump and die. Fight me and risk dying. Or surrender and tell us what we need to know." Her blade hit Kovin's in a brisk flash, Kovin hit her blade back and she lost her balance. She fell in slow motion over the side in complete silence. Kovin looked over the edge watching the body fall. Before she hit he turned away.

"You liked seeing the plane go down." Kelryn said.

"I didn't send the plane down. And the plane wasn't alive. Plus, I've never seen a plane crash. I've seen enough blood to last the rest of my life." He sighed and addressed everyone. "Everyone, we've got to become ghosts. All digimon, revert to your smallest form. Humans, we've got to get inside the building and hidden. TK mostly, those gashes will cause questions we don't need to answer. We also have to ditch all our weapons in case we are stopped. In a nutshell, I want the humans, digimon, and weapons in three separate places. Once that's done split into pairs, an Alpha and an Omega, and scatter. Take separate routes back to our place."
