Tick, Tick, Tick, Boom.

"Goodness such a mess. Honestly we have clean up what we can. Scavenge what we can. So much to do so little time." said the Kokuwamon walking back and forth in one of the rooms. His hands full of scrap metal to be melted down and reused. 

He starts down the hall to take what was in its arms outside. He stopped suddenly as he nearly ran into Carter. He fell back his scrap metal dropping in surprise.

"Ahh, what the hell. You shouldn't be here." it says standing up electricity charging between its pincers. "This won't do at all you must die."



Kokuwamon Level 7
VS
Jade and Carter, Level 1

Jade was too far away to hear the Kokuwamon speaking, but Carter's big ears came in handy and he heard every word. However, before he could tell his partner that they were not alone, one of the Kokuwamon raced around the corner and almost smacked into him. Carter yelled in surprised and went airborne, and the Kokuwamon went on the offensive. No attacks had been launched yet, so Jade opted to try a diplomatic approach to the situation. Carter flew to hover over Jade's left shoulder. Jade placed her right hand on the hilt of her blade and donned a stance indicating that she was prepared to fight back should she need to. "My name is Jade Young of W.A.D.A.. This is my partner Carter. We are not here to hurt you. We got a report about the explosion that happened here and were coming to check survivors. Are you in need of medical attention? We can get you help. We mean you no harm." Jade's eyes did not waver from the Kokuwamon, as she could see it was agitated about something. 

"Jade, I don't think this digimon is injured. I heard him saying something about a clean up while he was in the next room. It seems like he's trying to save something here, but I don't know what," Carter whispered into his partner's ear. He was also watching the Kokuwamon, making sure it didn't attack, although it looked like it very much wanted to.

"WADA!!! No this is very bad. I can't let you leave here alive. Especially not now. You can not interfere with our plan." Kokuwamon says his electricity growing stronger. It lowers its head the electricity sparking dangerously. "Stun Shock!" it shouts charging at them like a bull. If it should hit it would easily put one of them out of commission for a little bit and be knocked on their backs. Should it not the Kokuwamon would turn sharply and use Assemble Work to magnetize the metal he had dropped sending them flying down the hall towards him. The scrap metal sweeping at the party dangerously.

Either way the Kokuwamon would be behind them and blocking any retreat back to the door. Its pincers maintaining an agitated static between them.

Carter saw the Kokuwamon charging and easily flew up and out of the way, then he turned around as Kokuwamon passed under him and took aim at its back. "AIR SHOT!!" He cried, and fired his attack. Jade, meanwhile, sidestepped and drew her blade, slashing upwards at whatever piece of Kokuwamon she could reach, hopefully his closest arm. She was unsure how her steel blade would hold up against Kokuwamon's armor, but it was her best shot at defense.

"AIR SHOT!!" kokuwamon took the shot it. It hardly did anything through the metal. He swirved in as he noticed Jade move. His body being tapped by the hilt and not the sword as his pincher caught her and sent her tumbling. Though the electricity barely hit her.

Kokuwamon was angered by Jade making any kind of contact and his own attack missing. He growled his electricity growing. "Assimble Work." he barks lowering his head. The forgotten metal moving seemingly of its own accord. He couldn't see them but he would know when all the metal was on his side.

Carter saw that is signature attack failed to do anything at all, and was frustrated. There wasn't much he could do against a metal opponent, it seemed. Jade, too was thrown off balance and shocked by the attack, but it was more of a light zap that made her hair frizzy. This frustrated her and she would have to spend time fixing it later. From her position on the ground, she could feel the rumbling of the metal as it shook and took flight towards the Kokuwamon. "Carter watch out!" she yelled, and hit the deck herself, getting as flat as possible to let the metal pass over her. Carter easily flew over it and was not hit at all. He watched as the metal flew down and saw Jade get up and run after it.

Once the metal had passed her Jade popped to her feet and charged the Kokuwamon, hoping to use the metal as cover to hide her attack. She sheathed her sword and lifted the whole thing up over her right shoulder and when she was in range, she would swing her sheathed weapon like a baseball bat, aimed at Kokuwamon's head. The goal was to knock it out or disorient it enough to end the battle. If it worked, she would push the Kokuwamon down, and pin it down with her knee, yelling "Who do you work for and why did you attack us? We are W.A.D.A. Agents!!" If not, she would be left open to a counter attack. Carter would hover nearby and watch, prepared to offer covering fire.

The metal scraps were a bit wild as they flew through the air. While they had missed Carter one came dangerously close to Jades head sparks coming off it as it dragged along the ground. Carters attack only made the metal worse. They spun rapidly continuing on their course with extra speed.

The metal gathered into a ball against Kokuwamon completely obscuring its vision. He was already off balance from the metal when her sword hit toppling him over. The metal clattered into a pile as he collapsed face first into the ground. His electricity released so he could lift up his head but he didn't get up fast enough. Her knee sat in the middle of his back preventing him from getting back up. "Who do you work for and why did you attack us? We are W.A.D.A. Agents!!" 


"NO!! No talk, not to nasty humans. Humans destroy. Digital world must remain pure." He struggles to get up but her knee is right on one of his back hinges. "Electro Strike." He says electrocuting himself and creating a bolt of lightening in an attempt to electrocute her. Should she move the the electric wave would still be enough to stun her for a time. Afterwards he would get up and run. He'd head back farther into the factory to get help  if he wasn't stopped. If he was he would swing his pincers at his foe in an attempt to shock them.

Jade kept the pressure on the pinned Kokuwamon as she interrogated him. The metal bug was less than cooperative, however. "NO!! No talk, not to nasty humans. Humans destroy. Digital world must remain pure.....Electro Stike!"  Jade was ill prepared for a sudden burst of electricity and received the shock of her life, getting sent flying off of Kokuwamon and landing on the ground a few feet away. Groaning, she attempted to get to her feet, but was pretty shaken up from the shock. Carter witnessed this and was understandably upset. "Jade, no!!!! Body Blow!!" Carter swooped down and made to body slam the Kokuwamon from the air, hoping his sheer momentum would be enough to incapacitate him. Hit or miss, Carter would bounce off and swing around, unleashing an Aero Slash attack to further injure and incapacitate their attacker. He wanted to end this fight if he could.

Kokuwamon took the blow from Carter he teetered unsteadily on one foot as he swung around. Carter's follow up attack would then hit him sending him into the wall. However, Kokuwamon used the wall to keep his balance he continued to retreat.

"Electro Strike." he would call out the moment he would hear them get close enough. He was nearly to the bend in the hallway. Should they not approach he would continue going. He would hide just beyond the bend and wait for them to follow. He would then jump out and use Electro Strike. Should they attack him from a distance he would hit the deck and try crawling to the bend.

Carter stopped the pursuit of the Kokuwamon and flew over to Jade's side and nuzzled himself under her left arm. "Jade! Are you ok? Please say yes," he said on the verge of tears.

Jade by this point had managed to sit up and hugged her partner. "I'm fine, Carter. Don't worry about me. Now, let's go get that bastard, shall we?" Jade got to her feet and drew her sword.

"Yeah!!" Carter yelled happily, and flew up to match his partner. 

When they caught up, Carter could see their target and struck from a distance. "Air Shot!" Although he knew this particular attack would not be very effective, he wanted to do something that distracted the Kokuwamon enough for Jade to attack. Should Kokuwamon attack them, Jade would be more prepared. When the attack from Kokuwamon came, she would hit the deck, dodging the lighting strikes. When it passed, she would hop to her feet and charge, swinging her sword. Her target would be the red tube in Kokuwamon's right ankle. If she could hit that, it would hopefully incapacitate him enough to stop his escape. If she would miss, she would assume a fighting stance and prepare for the next assault.

Kokuwamon felt the pressure of another air blast. He turned around to retaliate electricity shooting from his pincers. They both had evaded him though. The human she was getting to close he had to stop her. Electricity sparked again but she went low making him jump back in surprise. Not far enough though her attack's fallow through tapping the red tube of his ankle cracking it. If he wasn't careful it would burst.

That wasn't good at all. He let out a low rumble of anger he swung his claws at the human. She was a close ranged fighter so he'd give her a close ranged fight. He began swinging his claws at her one after another. He would keep her on the defensive and even hurt her as much as he could. He wasn't about to fall to some human. This was his world not hers.

Jade was prepared for the Kokuwamon's assault and used her sword to block his claiming arms in succession. However, this little metal bug was faster than she anticipated and she began to lose her groove. Eventually, an arm got through her defense and struck her in the chest, knocking her down. Down and disgruntled, she held her sword up and across her to block anymore flailing.

Carter, seeing her partner go down, got enraged and flew up behind Kokuwamon. "Body Blow Bomb!!" Carter set himself into a corkscrew dive and aimed himself at the dead center of its back. From this angle, should the attack hit, it would send Kokuwamon stumbling forward right onto the broadside of Jade's sword. If the attack failed, he would follow up with an Air Cutter to distract and disorient.

"Oomph," The kokuwamon stumbled slightly at the hit he stepped forward to keep himself balanced. He was sorely out numbered there was no way he could keep this up. Each time he hit one the other attacked and vise versa. He couldn't defend himself from all sides.

He backed away and yet again used Electro strike aiming for the still mobile Carter. He stood there ready to defend himself from Jades weapon. His head shot electricity between the pinchers. He suddenly thought of the metal again. It didn't work last time but maybe this time he could do one better.

"Assemble Work," he barked and the metal came flying at them again. He fled as the metal began slamming against the wall and weakening the structure more. Part of the roof collapsed as everything began to settle. He had to get help or escape.
