Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kazu watched as Kiro grabbed the memory. As the Granlocomon headed for the exit Kazu dived for the train, missing it by inches.
"No!" He yelled as he crashed to the floor watching the train digimon power out of the crumbling door. Looking up Kazu saw the ceiling finally start to cave.
"Son of a..." Everything collapsed around him...

((Doing some character development make sure there's enough antidote left for when I get back to base ok? sweatdrop ))

Christin being the last one there in the building, had been hit by a falling gutter. As it did ChaosWarGreymon Digivolved from his negative form into WarGreymon. He incinerated gutter, and grabbed Christian pulling him out. After a few minutes of falling metal, and collapsing walls Christian made it through with merely cuts and bruises. The made it to small glove in a deserted forest. Christian leaped off of WarGreymon's back, and landed on patch of flowers. WarGreymon de-realized, and spaced into one of the slots. "Finally it ends," Christian blurted out.

(I'll edit it man. I'm going solo! Solo!))

(I know that Liger it's just fun to watch him squirm)

Chris turned his head to Marcus and frowned "Don't say that...I still have hope" He said. He closed his eyes "I want you to know that no matter what happens in this strange war...my feelings about you wont change..you can push me away all you want, but I know you really do care and are doing it to protect me" He said. He sighed and looked down. "I want this war to end I just don't know if it will" He said.

Zip and Shadramon watched as more and more people left. "Well what should we do now?" Zip looked at shadramon who shrugged. "Gah your no help." Zip flew down to the ground and landed. He proceded to look around the rubble waiting for Zar to get up so they could do some thing.

Meanwhile shadramon kept his birds eye view watching the few tamers that were left studying the way the acted to see if he could trust any.

[A few hours after both teams have left...]

Everything was dark... No... There was a pinprick of light in the distance... Kazu slowly opened his eyes. Was he dead? No If he were dead how could he be thinking up these questions... He placed both hands on the floor infront of him...Eww, sticky... A memory of a bustling factory returned to him, followed by one of the whole place crashing to the ground... Some oil must've leaked Kazu thought, trying to push himself upwards. He felt a dull throbbing in his chest followed by a sharp pain as he bashed his head on something above him.

"Damn it all... Where's my phone.... Need a light..." Kazu fished around in his pockets until he found his phone, a few deaft button presses later and his phone emmitted a bright light. Kazu's eyes widened in shock when he saw where he was. The rubble from the building had collapsed and formed a little cavern around Kazu's body, about five feet infront of his lay one big girder, holding up a weight of rubble and then about 10 feet behind him was another girder, supporting the rest of the rubble and forming a little cave that Kazu could fit in.

"Eww...Still sticky..." Kazu groaned turning the light on the floor.
"Oh... Well... Owch..." The light illuminated a very very dark red puddle spread out across the floor beneath him, looking himself over Kazu noticed a big cut across his shouder extending from the top of it down to around the centre of his chest. Luckily it semed to have healed over, but Kazu was feeling very dizzy and lightheaded due to the loss of blood. Groping around his hand into his final water bottle. It still had about 2/3'ds left!

Kazu rolled slowly onto his back and gratefully drank the contents of his water bottle. He didn't feel to bad anymore, it seemed that the gash had bled out most of the poision. Best to try and find the antidote when he returned to base though... Kazu lay there staring at the pinprick of light, barely visable through the rubble above him.

He closed his eyes and thought of all the people who followed him during the battle today. How many had respected his opinion throughout the fight... He smiled. At least he was recognised before he died. Before this rubble around him became his tomb...

After a few hours of musing, about the battles so far, the people Kazu had met, the friends he considered an important part of his time in the Digital World, Kazu's mind drifted to home. The real world, where his other firends and his family were. He sighed, they'd never know what happend to him... That he fell in a battle for the digital world... He couldn't imagine his mother would be too impressed with all the fighting, but hey, Mother's are mothers... As he remembered his family and the good times they shared, Kazu could feel a tear rolling down his cheek,

"No point in wiping you away I suppose... No-one can see me." He chuckled then gasped as the dull ache in his chest flared sharply for a moment. Everything seemed to go white and a ringing sounded in Kazu's ears. After it subsided Kazu could hear a beeping noise. Reaching down to his belt he grabbed his digivice and pressed the up button. Veemon appeared on the screen with Mermaimon holding him up.

"Kazu...Don't you dare be giving up! How do you think we'd feel if you died! What do you think your family and friends will think of you if you just roll over and die!?" Tears formed in his eyes as he spoke, Mermaimon looked awkwardly at Kazu.
"Y'know he's right... I've not known you that long but... It'd be awful If you died, especially if you didn't at least put up a fight!"

"You guys..." Kazu burst into tears. "Your right! People do like me! Respect me! So what if I'm not as tough as them, or not as smart! I excel in my own ways!" As Kazu shouted this out his digivice glowed.

"Veemon, Mega-Mode change digivolve to:

A bright light filled Kazu's little enclosure as his digimon materialised.

"Imperialdramon Fighter Mode!" The huge fighter digimon rose up and out of the rubble, holding the injured Kazu in his hands. Peices of the factory fell from him and crashed to the ground all around him. Stepping from the destroyed factory ruins Imperialdramon collapsed to the ground, still protecting Kazu, the poision was still affecting him, but at least no Kazu wasn't trapped and could return to the base. He de-digivolved and warped back to the digivice where he fell unconcious.

Kazu was sprawled out face-down on one of Factorial towns streets. At least now he could see, and breath clean air.

"Thanks...Veemon...." He muttered before fading into unconsiousness...

The little poision left in Kazu's system was what knocked him out. He was in serious need of the antidote and medical attention for his gash wound. Rubble was still falling from Imperialdramons dramatic escape from the rubble...

Zip dodges the rubble flying every where using his speed. This also causes Zar to wake up. "What where am I and what just happend.?" "You passed out like the normal day when those idiots digivolve and then this digimon busted through the rubble and disappered."

Zar examined the place and saw a tamer that was passed out. He got a grin. "I got an idea." But before he could do any thing the tamer was snatched up by another tamer and digimon. Zar scowled. "LETS GO AFTER THEM!" He hopped and Zip and motioned shadramon to follow.
