Just throwing Mimi at the problem? Okay, then...


-Vote Closed!-



Admittedly, it's probably a better idea than most of the others. The best idea, if the main goal is information.
 
Very Important Questions
"Mimi, why don't you handle this one?" You suggest. If the Guardromon's taught you anything, it's that you don't really understand inorganics. Or that you're not that great at talking to Digimon that you don't know when they've just come off of a battlefield.

...Admittedly, that's not a skill you'd ever expected you'd need to have, but you have a new appreciation for Daigo now. Sure, that Agumon wasn't the most argumentative Digimon in the world, but the point still stands that a squishy human was able to talk down a large fire-breathing dinosaur. And that one was trying to attack.

"Um... okay, then." She doesn't seem to want to disagree with you, but she also appears to be somewhat nervous.

That's understandable. This is a Champion level Digimon that is made out of solid stone. Not exactly a lot of room for error when it comes to pacifying it. But she still walks up to the collapsed golem, and nudges it. "Um, hello...?"

The Digimon shudders, and stands up, looking around at all of you with clear confusion. "THIS... IS STILL THE BATTLEFIELD, IS IT NOT?" Oh, great, another grating voice.

"DigiDestined don't take prisoners," Mimi explains. You think she could have worded that a little better. Or maybe it was intentional, you don't know. It's hard to tell with Mimi. "It's too much of a hassle, when all we want to do is ask you some questions. We can do that here."

"QUESTIONS? WHAT SORT OF QUESTIONS?"

"Oh, I don't know... things like why you're all wasting so much time here fighting, when none of you will get what you want that way. And how this spiraled into such a mess. It's like every Digimon in the area is gathered here."

"THIS STARTED FROM THE EXPLOSION OF THE TRAIN TRACKS BY THE DIGIDESTINED, IN THEIR EFFORT TO FLEE THE AREA. LOCOMON DID NOT MUCH LIKE THIS, SO HE QUICKLY ORDERED THE RAILROAD WORKERS TO LAY MORE TRACKS. WE DO NOT REALLY ENJOY WORKING FOR LOCOMON- HE BARELY PAYS US, AND INSISTS ON CONTROLLING EVERY ASPECT OF OUR WORK, EVEN IF HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING. SO WE DECIDED TO GO ON STRIKE."

"And how is that working out for you?" She asks, fiddling with her Tag.

"NOT VERY WELL. LOCOMON KEEPS HIRING MERCENARIES TO TRY AND THREATEN US. HE SEEMS NOT TO REALIZE THAT, IF WE ARE ALL KILLED, HE HAS NOBODY TO BUILD MORE TRACKS. WITHOUT TRACKS, HE CANNOT GO PLACES. SO WE WILL WIN, EITHER WAY."

Mimi sighs. "I can't help but feel like there are better ways for you to go about this. Like just leaving. Locomon can't get to areas without tracks, right? So you'd be free if you just walked away from them."

"BUT THEN I WOULD NOT HAVE A JOB."

"That is a problem..." Mimi pauses for a moment, then turns to the rest of you. "Do you guys have any ideas? It'd be nice to have a way to get back at Locomon for what happened to that village... even if the Pagumon weren't the ones meant to be there." You have no idea what she's talking about, but if you just want a way for a fight to stop... that much, you can do.


Sora's DS: 745/840


[ ] Fight off all of the mercenaries, as well as the Digimon who don't know why they're here. Even if that seems like it'd be a long battle...

[ ] ...Is this really your problem? You came back to look for Tai and Matt.

[ ] Try to move these Digimon to the part of the tracks that the Trailmon took Mimi and the kids... they'd still have work there, right?

[ ] Go along with whatever Izzy suggests.

[ ] Go along with whatever Joe suggests.

[ ] Go along with TK's suggestion.

[ ] Go along with Kari's suggestion.
 
I don't know what to vote for. Just know we shouldn't just leave, that's not how Digidestined work.
 
[X] Try to move these Digimon to the part of the tracks that the Trailmon took Mimi and the kids... they'd still have work there, right?

Given that we don't actually have any context for what Joe, Izzy, TK or Kari are suggesting, having them as "mystery box" votes kind of makes them useless. This one seems to be the best way to go given our limited information.

Is moving them really going to work though? Remember, these Digimon were sent to attack the workers. Wouldn't they just follow us?

We can't go with the others' suggestions if we don't know what they are.

Even it it isn't really a tie, I might as well make it decisive.
 
Hardly the First Disaster Today
You turn toward your fellow DigiDestined. "Kari, did the place that you ran to have any more tracks?"

She nods. "There were a few stations. Why do you ask?"

"Well, I was thinking... maybe Golemon and the others could go there, and expand those tracks. And they wouldn't have to deal with Locomon anymore." It seems fairly obvious to you, though you aren't sure if everyone would be able to find work right away... it'd still be an improvement over the current situation.

"I guess... What do you guys think?" She asks the others.

"It seems like a good enough idea," Izzy says. "Though we'd need to backtrack a bit to get there, and I can't imagine Locomon would react well to all of them just getting up and leaving."

"We'd also have to get all of them to come with us," Joe points out. "That... would probably take a while." Time, effort... constantly being attacked by various mercenaries in the middle of a dust cloud filled with explosions. Not exactly an easy task, though that's not to say it wouldn't be a worthwhile one.

"So, we need to round them up, first?" Mimi checks. "Togemon, could you handle that?"

"How am I supposed to know who is on which side?" The cactus shoots back.

"I dunno, ask? Oh, you could have Golemon point them out!"

"PLEASE DO NOT DRAG ME BACK INTO THIS." Poor Golemon. He doesn't yet realize that, once Mimi sinks her grip into you, there is no escape. Oh, well. He'll learn. Most likely.

"Transporting a large group isn't something that's going to be easy," Izzy tells you. "Are you sure about this?"

"All we have to do is get them to where Locomon can't reach them, right?" Sure, there'd still be the mercenaries to worry about, but after a certain point, you think it might be cheaper for the Digimon to hire more workers. Assuming that anyone would be willing to work for him anymore, and you aren't too sure about that.

"Technically, yes, but..."

"It'll be fine. We can just take them to where the tracks start up again, and they can go from there. Really, getting all of them would be the hardest part." You know what you're saying makes sense, you just have to get your friend to see that. Somehow. "Unless there's another problem you can see?"

He's as logical as it's possible to be here, that should be simple enough. But if he has real misgivings... well, you'll hear those out, too.

"Not in particular. At least, not that can be avoided easily by doing something else." He shakes his head. "Never mind. Let's get Birdramon and MegaKabuterimon to help Togemon."

Right. All you'd have to do is ask them which side they're on, right? That should be simple enough...


...It should have been simple enough. Just hang around MegaKabuterimon so you have somewhere to run to, keep your head down so the dust doesn't get unbearable. You even found a pair of ToyAgumon that were managing to avoid attacks as they struggled to get to the edge of the disaster.

And then a Digimon with three heads appeared between you and Izzy's partner, and that seems to have been hunting down all of the Rookies that ended up in the fray. Potentially indiscriminately, you don't know which side that mass of gears belonged to.

Either way, you should probably do something about that thing... Even if you're not entirely sure what.


[ ] Blast it with fire. Blast it with as much fire as possible.

[ ] ...Birdramon can fly. Take the ToyAgumon and see if you can't lure this Digimon to MegaKabuterimon, he'll handle it for you.

[ ] Find a way to bait it into attacking the various powerful Digimon around the area- just not MegaKabuterimon, Izzy's probably busy enough.

MegaKabuterimon is "probably busy enough", and we should be able to handle even a relatively tough Champion.

I'm in favor of trying to handle it ourselves first instead of depending on MegaKabuterion to do everything. We can always try to get the attention of one of the others if the battle goes badly.
