I can do this...
Commandramon huffed, almost out of breath as he pressed himself back against a wall. The rain fell over the cityscape, not in torrents, but a good solid rain that hadn't let up yet. Behind him, scores of digimon littered the streets. Ogermon, Devimon, Monocromon with a horn sharpened to a blade to be used as a war animal. All of them had been put down now. However, that just left the final run. This was it.
He turned his eyes down at his rifle and rolled it over a bit, checking the magazine. About half empty, better reload, he thought to himself. Lifting the gun a bit his claw caught the trigger to release it, the metal box sliding out of the weapon. As it fell, it dissolved into data and was reabsorbed by him as he reached into his vest and pulled out another magazine, slapping it inside and cambering the next round. Closing his eyes, he focused himself and then leaned over a bit, peeking around the corner to what was in store.
Up the street, there were more of them. IceDevimon, Infermon, and Megadramon were standing watch outside the courtyard where the big boss was. All ultimate level virus types. Commandramon's lips curled into a grin. No problem.
Reaching down, he pulled a canister out of his vest and hooked his claw in the ring. One...two...THREE! he counted in his head and then rolled around the corner. As he did he pulled the pin and threw the grenade. He bounced and tumbled across the ground as Commandramon charged forward and all the other digimon turned to face him, alerted to his presence.
"It's Commandramon!" the Infermon was first to speak up.
"How did he get this far!? This is impossible!" IceDevimon said.
"We have to run away! He's too strong for us!" shouted the Megadramon. All three of them panicked and began to run, straight into each other before bouncing off and falling down. As they recovered, the grenade went off with a brilliant flash that made all three of them recoil as Commandramon looked away. After that moment though, he charged between them and raised his rifle.

The first shot rang out and caught IceDevimon in the chest. The white devimon was thrown backwards as he let out a howl and began to disintergrate into bits of data while Commandramon threw his M16 out to the other side, one handed, aiming and firing at Infermon. Another shot took him in the body and the spider digimon was dissolving before he hit the ground. Ahead of him was the Megadramon, both metal claws held apart and leaving it vulnerable. Commandramon ran, straight up the belly of the serpents body to its head. He jumped and did a bicycle kick, throwing the serpent up into the air as he fell back down to the ground. He landed on one knee and leaned back, lifting his rifle and taking aim before firing one more shot and destroying the digimon in midair.
"Ultimate level, huh? I guess I'M the ultimate now. Now, the big boss." he said, rising to his feet again and charging forward. Ahead were two wooden double doors for the building. They didn't even slow him down. Using a heel kick, he burst through them and held his rifle at the ready, sweeping the room for any targets before moving on. Down one hallway, through a door, down another hallway that came to another double door on the side. He pressed himself against the wall and prepared himself. This is it.
Spinning around the doorframe he kicked the doors open and walked into the large room, turning his eyes up to the white digimon inside. Massive, with a smooth shell and two cannons over his shoulders. There was no doubt about it. This was the big boss. He held his rifle trained at the backside of the other digimon and approached slowly, cautiously.
"MaloMyotismon! I've come to bring your reign of terror to an end!" Commandramon shouted as he held his weapon there. However, the white digimon didn't move, clearly occupied with what he was doing. Halting his approach and standing his ground, COmmandramon waited for a moment and then spoke again.
"I said MaloMyotismon! I've come to bring your reign of terror to an end!" he shouted again, a little louder this time, but it didn't seem to work. Just then though, the hulking white mass turned a little bit, just enough to train an eye on the dramon with the gun.
"I told you I didn't want to play before." said the hulking voice, making Commandramon lower his weapon and sigh.
"Puroromon! You promised that you'd play with me if I did all that digging for you!" Missimon complained as he dropped the stick he'd been holding like a rifle. Floating a bit over the ground, the arrow shaped digimon looked more than a little disappointed at the response he'd gotten from his partner.
"Why though? Every time we play, you get to be the good guy, I get to be the bad guy, you get to save the day, and I get to play dead. How is that fun?" asked the bee digimon, though it sounded somewhat half-hearted as he rested on the ground, playing with some black cables that were sticking up out of the ground.
"Well, maybe if you tried a bit harder you wouldn't end up dead! The bad guys are supposed to fight back and you're supposed to be the biggest, baddest digimon of them all!" Missimon told him, though puroromon didn't seem phased.
"The last time I tried to fight back you got all mad because you said I cheated." he said as he pulled a few more wires apart, looking between them to see where they went. Missimon looked clearly flustered.
"That's because you DID cheat! You can't just claim you're bulletproof by making yourself Metal-anydigimon!" Missimon complained, though if anything his complaints amused the bee.
"Well, I'm not a metal-anything-mon this time, do you still want me to fight back?" he asked, fluttering his wings a bit. COmmandramon stood his ground.
"YES! That's the whole point to playing! We have to try and beat each other!" he explained, sounding exasperated and frustrated, but at least he was making progress.
"Oh fine them. 'COmmandramon, you found my secret lair, but little did you know I WANTED you to find it! You've walked right into my trap!'" Puroromon told him, taking on his character again. Missimon smiled and grabbed the stick again, holding it like a rifle and pointing it at Puroromon.
"I know that it was a trap, and I know that you wanted me here, but you underestimated me! You'll never win, MaloMyotismon!" Missimon shouted as he mimiced chambering a round in his rifle. Puroromon looked thoroughly disinterested though.
"Well then, lets see how you fare against this!" he said, pulling on one of the black cables that was laying on top of the grass. The cable came taught and tugged on a table, making it rock. A digiegg on the table began to roll down the middle of it and then off the edge, landing on a see-saw and tossing a pillow up into a tree. The pillow hit a birds nest and made the birds inside fly through the tree, one of them knocking off a hook that was holding a limb. The limb swung out and tossed a blanket that floated down and landed like a net over Missimon.
Missimon, however, just stood there and watched as one thing followed another, the table to the tree and the blanket. he dropped the stick though and held his little hands up as the blanket came over him, catching it and managing to shrug it off to the side, turning his eyes back to Puroromon who still had his back to him.
"Is that the best you can do, MaloMyotismon? You clearly underestimated me!" He boasted, though puroromon didn't seem moved, only motioning with his rump to the side using his stinger to point.
"It's not done yet." he said simply making Missimon turn around to look. Something had catapulted another digiegg through the air, though this one had a string tied to it for some reason. Missimon followed the string down, down, down to the cradle that he'd hidden behind before coming around to ambush the bad guy. As the egg flew, it pulled the string, and pulled the cradle over onto Missimon upside down, trapping him underneath.
"Hey! No fair!" he shouted, the craddle bouncing and rocking around as Missimon bounced around the inside of it, trying hopelessly to get out. puroromon only grinned to himself.
"You told me to fight back. It's never fair when you're losing, is it?" Puroromon said with an aire of satisfaction, going back to playing with the cables in the ground while Missimon bounced around his impromptu cage. However, as happy as he was with the moment, he was short lived. Behind him about 10 meters back something caught his eye, a brilliant flash of light and a heavy thud on the grass with the sound of a voice. Getting up, he turned around to see what it was and looked shocked to see a human there.
For Ben, it had been pretty instantaneous. One moment he was sitting in class, then there was a brilliant flash and the next he was being dropped on to the ground, his backpack hitting the ground a moment later. Dazed and disoriented, he held his head and stayed on the ground as he tried to get his bearings, blinking his eyes a couple times as the world began to come back into focus.
"Um...okay, I don't know what that was. Like, not even an idea..." he said to himself as he took in his surroundings. Green grass, blue sky, it was fairly warm, but he didn't see -anything- he recognized. He moved to get up but his backpack held him down, forcing him to untangle his leg from it before he could do anything. It was done soon enough though and he stood up, stretching a bit and turning around.
Of course, he turned face to face with a giant bee.
"What the hell!?" Ben shouted and took a step backwards, his foot catching on his backpack and tripping him again. he fell back on the ground and threw his arms up in the air, swinging them back and forth to ward off the insect.
"Shoo! Get out of here!" he shouted as Puroromon advanced a little further, but kept out of range of the flailing arms.
"'Get out of here'? Well, that's nice. You know, I think I was here first, maybe you should go instead. After all, it's not like I go to your world and try to kick you out." Puroromon said with a slight 'hmph' at the end. Ben stopped flailing his arms in front of him and stared up at the giant bee as it hovered in the air.
"You talked...wow, I've never had dreams like this before." Ben said, lowering his arms back down and trying to get himself to his feet. While he was doing that Puroromon looked on, and did not look impressed.
"I talked. Of COURSE I talked. You talk. Everyone else talks. Why would I be any different? Honestly, for a human, I was expecting something...more." he said a little disappointed.
"Right...well, as long as you don't sting me I suppose that's alright. Where am I anyway? How did I get here? What i-" Ben asked, though he was cut off by the bee digimon.
"Look, I get the whole 'Stranger in a strange land' thing, so let me just try and make this concise. I'm Puroromon, my friend back under the cradle is Missimon, we're digimon, you're a human, this is the digital world and I have absolutely no idea but here you are anyway. Does that sum it up well enough?" Puroromon asked after going off on a rant, however Ben actually looked impressed.
"Well, yeah actually. Why can't anyone else ever answer questions like that?" he wondered allowed, and then both he and Puroromon gave a shrug.
"Beats me, I wonder about that all the time."
Ben's attention was drawn over the the cradle that he mentioned, still upside down and rocking from side to side as Missimon tried to force his way out, though it wasn't working.
"Come on! Let me out already!" he called out, though Puroromon was still looking too pleased to do anything about it.
"Come come, how are you going to save the digital world from my unspeakably evil wrath if you can't even get out of a simple trap?" he said, mocking his partner inside. Ben, however, walked over and took one of the legs of the cradle, pulling it back over right side up. Once he did, the arrow shaped digimon zoomed out and into the air before looking back down at Puroromon...and Ben.
"Ah-ha! I'm free, and now I will...who is that? What is that?" he said, stopping short and coming back down in front of Ben who leaned back considerably as the metal digimon came face to face with him. Puroromon spoke up first though.
"It's a human, from another world. No, I don't know how it got here." he explained, getting a nod from Missimon who then turned his attention back to Ben.
"Okay, good enough for me. Two questions though: What's your name, and do you play?" Missimon asked, sounding rather excited again despite his setbacks the last time he played. Ben was a bit taken aback by that, but he answered.
"Well, my name is Ben, and yeah, I play all kinds of things." he answered, but that only made Missimon back off and then do a spiral up into the air.
"Alright! We are gonna be BEST FRIENDS!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. Ben simply stared up at him unsure what to think or say while Puroromon laid his face in one of his pointed hands.
