Episode 9 - And Now the Guns are Silent

All seventy Guardians are now residing in Tokyo and preparing for the massive attack they know will come. The Alphas have destroyed the rouge watchers main base and taken control of their lab. Now a force is gathering outside the city preparing to level it and take their facility back. They feel such force is warranted because it is the only copy of all their information and contains over half of their supplies. Whoever retains control over this crucial stockpile will decide the victor.

"How close was that to our guys?" Kovin asked.

"A few blocks away," TK said. "They must be shooting at something else."

"Let's get back inside," Relaina said. "We can track and talk to them." Relaina's idea was well received and all three descended the ladder, staircase and tunnels back to the control room. TK gave the computer a command and a red line appeared on the screen that tracked the course the planes took, and used a dotted line to project a possible course.

"Ken, Ken, Ken, this is Guardian base, Guardian base, Guardian base, please respond over," Relaina said into the radio.

"Is it really necessary to say the name three times?" TK asked.

"In marine radio," Kovin said, "it is. I'm not sure about military air force. Relaina is using proper protocol."

"I'm seeing all four indicators moving independently now," TK said.

"Guardian base, Guardian base this is Ken, this is Ken go ahead over," the radio crackled. Kovin found it remarkably clear and wondered just how powerful their radios were or how sensitive the base equipment was.

"Ken, Guardian base, report status over," Relaina said.

"Guardian base, Ken, we found them and Kelryn and Yolei are online now. The Deltas and Gammas were hit hard but they're all right. Everyone else has fallen back according to plan. Over." Relaina looked to Kovin.

"Ken, Guardian base," Kovin said taking the headset. "Did you see the planes attack? Over."

"Guardian base, Kelryn, yes we saw them. They're attacking about three dozen rouge digimon, champions and ultimates, that are trying to infiltrate the city. It's too many targets and the digimon will get in. Over."

"Kelryn, Guardian base, I'm leaving Relaina here, TK and I will join you. We're going to repel that force until the rest can regroup. Hold position there. Over," Kovin said. TK and Relaina looked a bit surprised. "Come on, TK."

"Kovin," TK said. "You should stay here, if you're killed out there the rest will fall apart."

"Then I'll just have to keep from dying," Kovin said. TK started to protest but was cut off. "I remember hearing that there are two places a person can lead an army. From the back, directing and overseeing. It's more effective I guess, but doesn't instil any confidence. Or he can lead from the front, facing the same perils as everyone else. That builds respect. And as long as we follow a plan, it will be fine." Kovin finished suiting up in one of the retrofitted flight suits, as did TK. "Relaina, when the first group gets back send them out again to recall everyone else ahead of schedule. Get them all back here, and do NOT let them leave." She simply nodded.

Kovin turned to see TK carrying a sleepy Patamon and Ozlimon behind them. "The rest are waking up," TK said. "You know they're going to want to fight."

"All in good time," Kovin said. They ascended the stairs with the same speed as earlier and followed the same path to the roof. They were barely under the night sky when Kovin triggered his digivice.

Ozlimon digivolve to ... Feamon digivolve to ... Talomon

"Only Talomon?" Patamon asked.

"To hide the direction we come from," TK said. "You can see Aeromon too far away." Kovin, Patamon and TK climbed on and Talomon took flight. He kept low on the city streets and it was causing people to run in panic. They didn't know, or couldn't tell that this digimon was there to help and protect them. To them, it was just another killing machine, and a target.

They banked a few streets west before resuming north to actually come at the melee from the west, not to hide the location of the base, but to make them think more of them were outside it or they weren't even using it. "There they are!" Talomon said and set down in an alley beside Kelryn, Yolei, Ken, and Kari.

"Nice night for a stroll, eh?" Kovin asked. "Where are the others?"

"I got them out of here," Kelryn said. "They were in no shape to fight tonight, but they'll be fine tomorrow."

"All fourteen of them?" Kovin asked.

"No, only eight. The rest were cut off by the fleet-o-digimon over there," Kelryn said. "Let's get this in gear." She turned and climbed on Arcreumon's back. He didn't even know she was there because of the dark alley and black fur.

"I'm ready," Patamon said and five of them triggered their devices.

Patamon warp-digivolve to ... Seraphimon

Talomon digivolve to ... Aeromon

Stingmon digivolve to ... Paildramon digivolve to ... Metalangemon

Aquilamon digivolve to ... Halsemon digivolve to ...Shurimon

Angewomon digivolve to ... Magnadramon

Those that could fly took to the sky and Shurimon simply jumped the distance to the top of the building. Yolei was left there as was everyone else to see the battle. Aeromon didn't use his attacks as they would level a few blocks and instead got into hand-to-hand combat, forcing many a fighter to retreat from his blows, or swipes of his beak and talons.

Seraphimon and Metalangemon with Shurimon, Arcreumon and Magnadramon were firing attacks and hitting with deadly accuracy. It took eight digimon to fall before the force retreated. "They're gone," Ken said.

"Not because of us," Kovin said pointing into the sky. There was no mistaking the force left because of the fifteen fighter jets now converging on the location. "Get in the air, now. Ken, Yolei, TK, fall back. Kari, Kelryn let's go. The three with winged digimon took theirs into the sky leaving the others as back up.

"What's the plan?" Kelryn said.

"Scare them off," Kovin yelled back. They were now flying directly at the oncoming formation in the deadly game. The gap was closing fast as Kovin turned on his headset radio to a different frequency. "Hard part about playing 'chicken' in knowing when to flinch," he said to the pilots.

"Are we sure this is smart?" Kari asked.

"Absolutely, watch," Kovin said as three of them launched air-to-air missiles. Arcreumon fired her attack and shattered the projectile; Magnadramon dodged it, and kicked off it making it explode past her. Aeromon was able to catch it in his talon and turn it around. The pilot detonated the weapon before it could reach them, but they did decide to retreat in the face of that much power. "Let's get back inside and sorted out."
