Author's Note

I hope I don't get too deeply dug into Dave the Diver...


In all of Final Fantasy 7, Tifa is the 'mostly normal' human character. She classes as a Monk and has the generic RPG character story of 'my life was quite nice until my village burned down and now I'm a hero because of it'.

Yuffie and Barret are close seconds for remaining baseline humans minus Barrets infinite ammunition magic spewing gun arm.

Yuffie and Barret notably mostly fight with ranged weapons, Barret does have a few melee weapons but those are few and far between.

This is compared to Tifa who fights everything up close and with her knuckle covered fists and can somewhat keep up with Cloud in damage output. This is despite Cloud being a super soldier wielding a sword as big as he is.

It makes one wonder if Tifa got MAKO infused by the 'town burning down incident' given how said incident ended and all the 'Monk' class training made her just as super human as the rest of the cast.


444. Midgar Meltdown Pt. 23.

-Moon Cell Realm, Midgar, Upper Inner City, allied territory, Quetal-

“How’s Pom doing Ocellus?” I asked with a claw on the visor as I looked to the three burning and smoking transports that barely managed to land successfully in the inner city. I think Pom had it easier with getting through that solid wall of fire by entirely being on the ground.

Jeanne was already organizing the other Hakamo-o and one Kommo-o Valora unit to start moving out, I wonder if the rumors of Jangmo-o line was true that they were in a way like Lucario. At least they were easier to talk to and be friends with than most other Dragon Types were.

“She and the others are… alive.” To paraphrase Ocellus’s flatly spoken words, which is specifically ‘not well, but still going’. “We need you to help the other two teams and get up there quickly.

“I’m on the way!” Snake stated as the commando rabbit ran off with Shine waving at them as she followed after him to give him some back up.

“You’ll attack the reinforced main entrance to the garage while Shine and Snake sneak around to go directly support Pom’s fight.” Cait Sith stated over the visor. “I’m already ordering the Berserker Moogles to switch from defense to offense. They should give you an opening to get into the building, the Caerbannog already infiltrating the garage will try to give you an opening to get in once you get closer. Honestly kind of jealous that Snake is a free range servant while I’m stuck as an NPC.”

Yeah, Neutral servants had more freedom to act, I could clearly understand Cait’s problem with how he couldn’t get involved in things.

“You up for a fight Frizzle?” Dazzle asked and looked to Frizzle currently chewing through a mass up bread with a claw up that yes she’s was getting ready to go. “Honestly, you need to eat healthier…”

Frizzle just grinned at the thought anyone could stop her from consuming bread like crazy. We started moving out and I glanced back at Elise not looking towards the tower, but behind us.

“Go on… I’ll… I’ll catch up.” Narrowing my eyes at Elise as she nervously held her glaive spear against her chest, I knew somebody was watching us… but if they weren’t attacking, then they weren’t an Enemy Program. “Pom and the others need you… don’t… worry about me.”

I quietly turned to hop onto Dodo with Favela, took one last worried glance at Elise and then we took off.

-Copen the Slayer Dragon-

Once the others left I dropped down behind a very familiar naga who turned to me, one I remembered having killed before. Only… she was alive again.

Her hood flexed inward and I saw a frown on her face.

“Adept…” I stated coldly as my grip tightened on my gun, ready to start pulling the trigger as a rage rose in me at the sight of her.

-Elise-

It’s him… the one who finally killed me in my previous life. To be fair to him, he actually killed Crazy and stopped a very vicious cycle of pain and suffering, we were kind of out of control and needed to be put down at the time.

I don’t want Pom’s trauma by helping my soul be whole again to go to waste, so I had to try and defend myself from him.

I tightened my grip on the spear and held it defensively, because I would not be the first to attack in this situation.

“Can we just talk… please?” I asked while my body shivered at the sight his narrowed red eyed glare.

I would not let Pom’s sacrifice for me go to waste, if I had to I would fight him with everything I had… but… I don’t think I would be able to beat him.

-Lola the Battle Pod-

Copen was about to shoot at her anyway despite her pleading expression.

“Copen wait!” Memories came flooding in… I was from a far flung future where things went down a horrible path. The Copen I was with, was from before that future had ever occurred. The Minos… I had to stop Copen and explain! “Please, hear her out, if not for me then for…?!”

I didn’t know if it would be ‘Copen’ or ‘The Slayer Dragon’ that would be listening to me, I had thought we were from the same place… but I was apparently mistaken as I came from a different much worse future of our world.

“Mytyl was an Adept!” I screamed at Copen as a form of revelation to stop him from his current course of action and the world froze in an infinite second, I had just invoked the name of Copen’s little sister and could only hope he listened.

As Elise, ‘The Eternal Envy’ as the Sumeragi Corporation files called her, sat across from him clearly willing to defend herself and not wanting a fight at all with the one that finally killed her in a past life.

The finger on the trigger slowly tightened.

-Shinra Tower Rooftop, Pom, Dolly, Peppercat and Lit (With temporary summon Ifrit) Vs. Finished Air Buster Ultimate and Merak (Continued)-

There was a silent agreement that the projectile spam had gotten even worse since the barrier drones were taken out. Merak probably had more, but he was likely waiting on them to actually do some serious damage to the large heavily armed and armored machine before using them to stretch out the fight.

It wasn’t hard to guess that Merak was stalling his opponents out while he attempted to blast them into a fine bloody paste or mist.

One of the enlarged hands was enough to fend off Ifrit alone. The other hand could barely be dealt with as Pom, Dolly and Peppercat evaded the constant projectile attacks from Air Buster and Merak’s portals redirecting explosives at or near them. They could hardly get any attacks on the Air Buster at all with the other large flying mechanical hand assaulting them with lasers from its fingers.

“Are you getting tired, why have you not expired, please don’t tell me that’s all you have now~!” Merak stated as the Air Buster started firing paralyzing electric blasts.

Peppercat intercepted a few of said blasts with her body, since she was immune and it charged up her electrical attacks for a bit getting extra energy from an outside source.

“I don’t think you’re very nice, Pom help me with the price, I think it’s time for us to ‘summon Ice’~!” Doing as Dolly asked Pom sent her a mass of magical energy through their bond to pay for summoning Shiva to the field, the cost to magic was the same as it ever was, but that put another being on the field that can assist them in combat.

As Dolly was busy Summoning Shiva, Pom attack the other giant mechanical hand as it tried to swipe at her canine companion and friend.

Pom managed to block and smash the bulk of the paralance into the enlarge flying mechanical hand, knocking the hovering mass of metal away from Dolly. Pom then had to dodge several redirected explosives as Shiva appeared and blocked a few machine cannon rounds before she started summoning ice.

Ifrit was fending off the right mechanical hand by himself and actually managing to damage it fairly well by himself.

Peppercat started assisting Pom with dealing with the left hand and continued to absorb any paralyzing electrical attacks that was sent her friends way, the Digitbot continued to claw and blast lightning from her arms into the large left mechanical hand to do some damage and stun it from firing any lasers.

“Now you have an ice thing, how much more can you bring, what are you summoning next a cow~?” Merak was still singing and paying half attention as he continued to play his game safely inside the machine slowly battering his opponents into the ground.

Pom would want to summon Arizona, she’d at least total this machine in twelve hits or less. Instead she was stuck with bashing and stabbing attacks using a weapon that could likely morph into other things. Things like big bulky swords that could split into even more swords.

“If we can deal with the hands while under fire~.” Peppercat ducked and rolled forward underneath the floating mechanical fist and blast lighting from her claws upwards into it.

“Then we won’t need to worry about them making us tire~.” Following up the stun Pom launched forward using her would and stabbed the enlarge mechanical hand with the paralance, she tried to spike I from the inside, but the hand pulled itself off of the spear tip and fired lasers from its fingertips at a point blank range forcing Pom to open the paralance as blasts of lasers sent her skidding backwards across the rooftop and a bending orange laser from the Air Buster grazed across the back of Pom’s neck and a machine cannon round tore into her left thigh knocking her down.

“Come on ‘lighting’ spire~?” Dolly stated as she slid into place and started protecting Pom from the machine cannon fire from the side as the Air Buster closed in on them and opened both its lower arms palms to preparing to spray them with flames. No lightning struck out when Dolly tried to use the third materia.

Dolly didn’t know how to use the lightning materia or how it worked and she was pretty sure it was lightning aligned after Lit coughed it up. Fire and Ice were just like breathing… that and Ice was something Dolly naturally had an affinity towards as much as an immunity and fire was easy because it was the opposite of that.

“Squeak-squeak-squeak~!” Lit fired a powerful lightning bolt that pushed the Air Buster back without charring or damaging Pom’s wool, he was awake at least and in the mood to protect the dynamic duo with the raw power he absorbed out of the materia.

“Go on take that seat freak~!” Dolly joined in with her little buddy.

“Well now, isn’t that quite unique~.” Merak chuckled dryly with anger as the Air Buster had become stunned for a few second by the powerful blast Lit let loose on it.

With what little time they had Pom brought out three potions and tossed two of them to Dolly and Lit.

Dolly hadn’t noticed a machine cannon injury in her neck, but she felt better after quickly downing the potion.

Lit while curious about the liquids in the bottle, quickly chugged what he could from it, somehow able to hold up the entire thing despite his tiny size. He made some appreciative noises and the liquids certainly helped his stomach ache.

Pom thought it somewhat comical how strong Lit was as she downed her own Potion and tossed a spare towards Peppercat after her injuries healed over. The Digibot appreciated that the fluids could fix her digital code and wished she had a healing move like Cure Liquor that Dormarch was capable of.

Shiva and Ifrit would eventually disappear and healing Pom could spare would be wasted on them… not that they had much more resources as fighting the Air Buster was eating through all of them.

“Lit focus the hands~!” Pom stated as she angled the paralance toward the blue beams of the splitting lasers and blocked them

“Lend me help my friends~!” Peppercat asked as the hand clenched its fist and she had to cartwheel out of the way of it trying to punch her into a pile of scrap metal data.

“Can I say that I hope that this is not our end~?” Dolly stated as she threw the stone bone into the large left mechanical hand and following the catching of said bone, she whipped her board out on the strap using the force of the catch to bash it and avoided the index finger quickly slamming down at her and trying to crush her into the rooftop.

Shiva and Ifrit were blasting the flying enlarged mechanical hand from the upper right arm with ice and fire magic while attacking it with their weapons, quickly expanding and shrinking the metal causing quite a bit of damage to it. Merak tried to hit Shiva with the flamethrowers only for Ifrit to draw the heat and flames out of the air as much as the cold rain itself already was.

Merak seeing that Shiva and Ifrit were going to be a problem, he turned the Air Buster to focusing on his more vulnerable opponents.

Bending orange lasers, redirected missiles, machine cannon fire, paralyzing blasts of electrical energy, it was all getting fairly hard to dodge and attack the left flying mechanical hand from the upper left arm at the same time.

The lower torso of the Air Buster then opened up, Pom, Dolly and Peppercat dodged as another short range artillery bomb blasted them across the roof with an explosive shockwave.

At this rate Pom figured they weren’t going to have enough Hi-potions, Potions or Ethers to keep up with the various injuries from all the projectiles. Peppercat didn’t have a defensive tool aside from possible creating a temporary magnetic field with her electrical energy generated from her body to redirect any of the physical ammunition and that wasn’t the best use of her abilities.

“See isn’t technology great, you’ve far too much on your plate, but hopefully for me I won’t be that late~!” Merak stated jokingly as if drawing attention to the countdown timers being carried by the nearby drones. “All I have to do is lay back and watch, this fight so far is not really hard for me botch, I’ll just wear you down until you’re all in the ground~!”

“Can you make a pulse, an electromagnetic one to convulse, our enemies flying fist things~?” Pom asked of Peppercat as she started primarily blocking attacks from the Air Buster to let Dolly and Peppercat keep hitting the large flying mechanical fist.

“I’d need far more time, more than we’ve got to rhyme, we’re still on the back foot it seems~.” Peppercat dodge back and around the sideways karate chop the flying mechanical hand tried to hit her with. It wasn’t seconds later that the digital cat robot had to dodge a blasts of four parallel lasers a second later as Dolly leapt in to get off another throw and smack.

Pom was annoyed that they were still singing to Merak’s tune, because apparently he’s the one that started this music and if the heart song wasn’t in their favor it wasn’t ever going to be unless they could flip the script.

Turning her head, Pom loosed a bark blast at the floating mechanical hand and stunned it out of firing lasers at her a number of missiles were redirected at her by Merak.

Lit, who seemed to have rested enough to regain some strength, created a veritable cage of lightning around them in the directions that Pom’s paralance couldn’t cover. The lightning blew up the missiles preemptively and at a safe distance, the other portal redirected projectiles that Pom couldn’t stop didn’t hit her too much. A number of machine cannon bullets and lasers grazed her.

“Hey I’m starting to wonder, if I made a blunder, because I should be calling out the ‘Thunder’~!” A lightning bolt struck out at the mechanical floating hand and Dolly groaned as she clutched at her head.

Pom quickly threw her another Ether potion as Lit dropped another lightning bolt with a might squeak that caused the enlarged floating mechanical hand to start sparking as it fell onto the roof and jerked about wildly.

“Oh come on~! How does a single dog do all that, where is she even getting all of her magic stats~?” Merak was irate, as Peppercat, Dolly and Pom took advantage of the down mechanical fist to start bashing it as hard as they could.

Pom moved to protect Dolly in an instant stopping powerful flames from striking Dolly as she stopped to drink the Ether after several hits.

The staggered mechanical hand started rising back into the air, only to be bashed back into the roof by a massive axe slam from Ifrit as Shiva kept the right flying fist busy with an array of magical ice spears.

Pom started thinking of the duo as being like Arizona and Velvet, Arizona being strong like Ifrit and Velvet being graceful like Shiva.

“I have some fears, time to loose some tears, as I bust out a Burning Thousand Spears~!” Pom quickly folded up the lanced and dodged around sparking bolts of energy, hopped around machine cannon fire, twisting around bending lasers, all while inhaling. When she got into a position, she held the spear at the ready while facing slightly away and then turned to start rapidly thrusting it creating numerous blasts of powerful jets of air pressure while exhaling explosively. The paralance created blasts of friction as she put the mechanical hand between her and the Air Buster and started heavily damaging.

Hopping back, Pom leapt up and then drove the spear deep into the mechanical fist, patted Lit and he leapt off onto the shaft of it as she leapt away.

“Squeak-squ-squeak-squeak-squeak~!” Not understanding a single thing Lit said didn’t make what he was going to do any less effective. The Paralance became a lightning rod and several blasts of lightning converged and the mechanical fist started glowing brightly.

Lit leapt off and turned into a green flash the bounced off individual raindrops and disappeared from sight. Several spot lights from the countdown billboard carrying drones started sweeping the roof looking for the little yellow bug.

The fist exploded and the paralance was on a course to fly off the roof and then after a single shimmer it and a movement from her right hoof, it immediately went back to being held by Pom in an instant just in time to block a diffusion beam that burned a groove into a section of the roof up to where she was standing as she locked herself down and bunkered in place with her wool.

While Pom was dealing with that, Peppercat and Dolly attacked the Air Buster from the left and right while trying to avoid the numerous projectiles coming at them to the best of their abilities. While Ifrit and Shiva were working on finishing off the remaining flying mechanical fist and actively deflected or blocking the beam attacks coming from its fingers using ice or the flaming axe.

An explosion rocked Pom as he was struck from behind by a missile. Pom grunted as a piece of shrapnel embedded itself into her body, her wool quickly ejected it and stitched the wound shut.

A second later Peppercat slapped into the blunt canopy portion of the paralance while barely missing the pointed spot, Pom looked over the massive dent in her body from where she was just punched by a straight left from the Air Buster.

Dolly avoided getting hit as she continued to physically assault the Air Buster’s lower torso with her bone and board, the hovercraft portion, as it continued to try and take her out.

Pom quickly stepped forward and covered Peppercat with her paralance and tossed a Hi-Potion onto the damaged Digibot, her body started to miraculously repair as soon as the fluids splashed onto her. In the background fight near them the other large mechanical hand started smoking by quite a bit.

“Diamond Dust/Hellfire!” Shiva used Diamond Dust to freeze the metal and then a few seconds later the slightly shrunken metal fist was expanded rapidly as Ifrit lit it up with a blazing, powerful, heat. Said heat stopped the cold rain from hitting the roof for a few seconds and the other large mechanical hand lost structural integrity and exploded violently as the heat expanded it too rapidly.

This was unfortunate for Pom, Peppercat, Dolly and the currently missing in action Lit, since they no longer had Ifrit or Shiva’s support as they used their final skills at the same time to.

“Is that all you got, what for have you fought, I bet you can’t get those guys back anytime soon~!” The Air Buster unleashed four more barrier drones, they hovered high above the Air Buster. Pom and Dolly were about to attack when the lower half of the Air Buster exploded outward and it actually took into the air to start flying around them on powerful jets. “You’re getting a hello from Moon Cell, welcome to this flying hell, for I’m finally revealing your doom~!”

“Uh Pom I don’t want to be alarmist, but how are we going to get up to him there~?” Dolly asked as the Air Buster continued to rain attacks down on them and she defended. “Not going to lie I’m angry about this guy, but honestly that is so totally unfair~!”

“Don’t give up heart, we still have to do our part, so surviving would just be the start~!” Pom didn’t see how they were going to attack it in the air, sure the barrier drones needed to be near it, but they couldn’t reach the drones while it was flying.

Peppercat hadn’t become entirely useless even if most of her features were melee, she could still absorb the attempts to paralyze them with electric wads of energy and dodge fairly well.

What made it even more unfair to Dolly was that the Air Buster could fire its shoulder split cannon lasers and move around while doing so. Thankfully it was known that while they could split off from the main beams as many times as they wanted, the lasers could only bend away from the main stream of energy once from the primary firing line and the primary beam weakened overall. Still didn’t make dodging them any easier.

“Light whose fell pillars, leave rifts in the wider world, and lead it towards ruin~!” Merak stated as a mantra as the Air Buster start charging up a diffusion beam and ten portals opened up around the roof. “Lazy Laser I’m firing thee, avoid it as much as you can flee, but you soon won’t have any room left to move free~!”

“Is it a little wrong, that I hate that he did that in song, can’t we just move this along~?” Dolly stated tersely as the beam fired into a portal and the beam started crossing across the roof top and it started herding Pom, Dolly and Peppercat, into a corner using eight portals as the world around them was lit up to be almost too blindingly bright.

Pom opened the paralance to take a hit and a portal instead opened up in front of them and absorbed the beam as a portal appeared behind them. Dolly’s eyes were wide and her pupils were shrinking as much as Pom’s as the beam started emerging from the portal, they were caught in a pincer maneuver.

If Pom turned the paralance around… then Merak would just drop the portal in front of them and fry them. Dolly’s board wasn’t big enough to block all that energy even if it survived the impact. There was a beam of energy above them trapping them from simply leaping out of the beam trap.

Peppercat’s blue eyes narrowed as she brought her claws together and formed an Electro Ball Special with them and took up a position protecting Pom’s back while Dolly braced with her board in front of Peppercat, she held the ball of energy aloft in front of her as a form of defense.

The laser came and Peppercat tried to block it by producing as much energy in its path as her body feasibly could… it actually worked for a few seconds.

“Nyaghhhhh….?~” Peppercat almost managed to hold out throughout the entire beam, until her Electro Ball imploded and the beam started to tear into the upper half of her body. Still she had managed to successfully protect Pom using her body to take the remainder of the energy. “Protect medal… t-t-t-in-p-p-p-pet system, overloaded. E-e-e-e-ejecting digi-bot heart…”

The beam ended and Pom stared wide eyed as Peppercat, missing her torso, head and arm armored parts, the underlayer of her body flopped over sparking. Her chest opened and the pained digital robots back arched as the medal shot into the air and the arced back sent it in Pom’s direction, she quickly grabbed it in her hoof and looked at it, she was now holding onto Peppercat’s soul and quickly stuffed it under her wool protectively.

Peppercat hadn’t had an easy time of things, this was the second time she’s been taken out, but as long as Pom kept the medal that came out of her body safe… then she’d be capable of being revived. Peppercat’s inner workings, known as a tin pet skeletal system, was a lost cause though as it started melting into a pile of slag.

“Now it’s just down to two, what can you do, let’s see how you handle another Lazy Laser just for you~!” It seemed Merak had forgotten that it was actually three, he was proven wrong a second later when a Barrier drone was blasted with a powerful bolt of lightning that destroyed it immediately. Also it was odd that he didn’t immediately start charging up for a lazy laser.

Said bolt was generated from the Air Buster itself, Lit had tried to get inside… and failing that… he decided to disabuse Merak of the notion that just because he had a flying death machine that he was entirely safe from reprisal. The bolt didn’t do any damage to the Air Buster thanks to the barrier drones, but now Merak had his own time limit of figuring out how to get Lit off his machine before the lone tiny bug tore his remaining three drones apart.

Merak tried to electrify the armor, Lit just ate the energy happily and started to drain the energy core on the Air Buster. Instead he set off the vibrational defense system, the same one made to stop Pom from using Bark Breaker on it, but that didn’t bother Lit either as he was in a spot where it wouldn’t affect him.

Lit despite not being of high intelligence had basically outsmarted Merak by being overly simple in his thought processes, one of the reasons Psychic Types were weak to Bug Types. All the intellect in the world couldn’t stop a Bug Type from being annoying to deal with, so he was a little terror that actually had Merak afraid of what would happen when the barrier on the Air Buster went down.

Said little bug still needed time to build up for powerful attacks, he had been exhausted when Pom picked him up and the little trooper of a hero was still raring to help. Would Lit be able to keep helping in a timely manner when he was slow to recover after doing a big attack?

“Oh how much do I hear the tick and a tock, you don’t quite have time to wait out the clock, so you might want find a way to deal with me~!” Merak’s bravado wasn’t a lie though, he’s been on the better side of the fight and wasn’t tired in the slightest. Mostly because he was being ultimately lazy and laid back inside the machine doing all the fighting for him. “Or else you’re all cooked you see~!”

“Pom, help is coming, hold on a little longer. We’re going to point as many Skein Flyers as we can at the tower and hope for the best. We’ll leave our defenses up to the flying Magitek Armor squad that the Commandramon have formed.” Well that was a questionable use of resources from Ocellus, but at this point Pom would welcome it even if most of those Skein Flyers weren’t going to make it through the storm of Merak’s aerial forces and defenses. “We’ll try to send you another special Magitek Armor unit, you’re not likely to survive much longer without it! Also I’m aware that we can’t shoot at the defenses without causing the Eaters to get worse and that the enemy you’re fighting has a lot of anti-air capabilities, but we can’t sit back and watch this for much longer without doing something.”

Pom didn’t like the sound of getting in a third magitek armor being made for her and Dolly, the first two were bad enough even if they were very helpful in combat.

“Huh… okay… right… we’ll draw the air forces off for you while you do that Sami, but are you sure you’re capable of it?” Wait, what did Ocellus just say? “Change of plans, expect Canard, Krosserdog and Sami to come up soon. They are being swamped with EPs, but they’ve mostly done their part, now we’re relying on Dormarch to finish things out according to them. Just stay in the fight Pom and keep his focus on you.”

Pom sighed somewhat even as she dodge a series of bending orange lasers, splitting blue lasers and Merak was likely stalling them out until he could do another so called ‘Lazy Laser’.

“Oh and we’ll still try to get you the Metal Hound 003 unit, this one will be much faster… we had some Caerbannog sneak out to pick up the remains of one of the Einhanders you destroyed and the Thousand Gunner parts we just recieved… only some thrusters were left intact of the black one which is good enough for an upgrade for the newest model as well as a better weaponry.” Ocellus said cheerfully, Pom groaned even as she and Dolly tried to avoid machine cannon fire. “Some construction time by Welch is required and she’s making it so Dolly can pilot this one without needing you to be inside it, but we’ll get it to you as soon as we feasibly can. So again please hold on for help to arrive as Quetals team is already moving through the building and are trying to support Rokusho, Metabee and Dormarch!”

“Did I hear that right, are we getting another Metal Hound to fight, ah yeah more armor related fun in our plight~!” It seemed Dolly was happy with a wagging tail as she jumped onto Pom’s back, the ewe was busy hopping around like a grasshopper on caffeine just shy of a lethal dose, unable to fire back ranged attacks on the flying Air Buster or fight back at all with the constant stream of projectiles aimed at them.

Pom and Dolly even had to ingest three Hi-Potions due to various agonizing injuries for the things she couldn’t quite dodge, while still managing to stay on the move and was running low on morale and healing items.

Merak still had yet to lift a finger and it was going fairly well for him so far, he knew they couldn’t destroy his inner city defenses without compromising themselves to those eldritch things. Though they could still assault the tower, but what would that even achieve? It’s not like they could do much if they take the tower when they needed to ultimately defeat him. He only gave it a passing thought to actually look into why the other realm invaders weren’t currently attacking him, he had a ewe to kill.

-Sami-

I ate the motor bar I created, doing exactly like Dormarch had when he ate the digital code of an entire magitek armor… the code added to me had a strange effect. I specifically chose the parts of the skein flyer code and added the parts of that to myself.

“Hi-Commandramon digivolve to… Cargodramon!” After my evolution… I felt a little bloated and I had shattered a hole into the side of the tower with my body. I tore out an entire floors worth of EPs in a few seconds afterwards with my new built in multi-machine cannon firing grenades and digital bullets, I caused three territory explosions back to back in such a short amount of time. I then hovered closer and opened up my side. I felt incredible, also a little self-conscious about this transformation. “Don’t you dare say a word about my size!”

“Wouldn’t dream of it Sami, though you have to admit that your new form is a little weird... if ridiculously useful.” Canard said flatly as he hopped onboard, after I motioned to him to do so, with Krosserdog following silently. “Let’s move!”
