readmyback[He sounds completely exhausted]
We found Nick. He and his partner were shooting up one of the shopping districts and wrecking buildings. He shot Greg and we had to knock him out, so Faith's takin' 'em to the hospital.
[Attached: Location marker]
If anyone can get over here and gimme a hand searchin' the rubble that'd be great. The whole place is pretty much leveled.
And Haku? Can you bring a tow-truck or somethin'? Greg's car's in pieces here.

I've got the kids... let me make sure Eikichi can take care of them while I get Duo and the truck...
[slight pause]
... are they going to be okay?
[Audio]
Date: 2011-06-14 05:54 am (UTC)Kulon electrocuted Nick and I punched him in the gut. Greg just got shot in the shoulder and got choked for a bit. As long as Nick's himself when he wakes up they're gonna be okay.
[Audio]
Date: 2011-06-14 06:04 am (UTC)...
Blew it up?!
[forgive her, Sadamitsu, she's going to have a spaz out moment over the car rather than the boys]
[Audio]
Date: 2011-06-14 01:46 pm (UTC)...Shit!
[A faint crash in the background.]
[Straining] You got it Kulon?
Yeah.
[A grunt and another faint crash.]
[Sighing] Better start a pile.
...Yeah. Nick's partner ripped open the engine. Greg's D-Comm's the only thing I found in one piece, unless any of the cases in the trunk were fireproof.
[Audio]
Date: 2011-06-14 08:25 pm (UTC)Ah... their forensic kits are probably scrapped... but the big first aid kit and their ammo boxes are usually in fireproof containers.
... crap. Duo is still out, that's right... H-hey, can you help me with the tow truck? It's a two person job and none of my usual helpers are available.
[Audio]
Date: 2011-06-14 09:17 pm (UTC)Yeah, I can help. You'll hafta tell me what to do though.
...
Lemme see... [faint rummaging sounds in the background] Yeah, looks like the first aid stuff's in one piece. Gonna need a new case for it though... What else... I think these were screwdrivers?... Box of ammo... This is... half a forensic kit? Everything's melted, it's hard to tell... Looks like that's every... oh... one of the ammo boxes got thrown against a wall and broke open. Can't even tell what most of this stuff was. I'll keep an eye out for anything else, but don't get your hopes up. There ain't much left.
[Audio]
Date: 2011-06-14 09:35 pm (UTC)I'll be there in about five minutes.
[Audio]
Date: 2011-06-14 09:39 pm (UTC)[Action or handwave?]
[Audio]
Date: 2011-06-14 09:42 pm (UTC)[action sounds fun =D]
[Audio → Action]
Date: 2011-06-14 10:55 pm (UTC)See you in five.
***
[The first thing Haku will see on her approach is a faint cloud of smoke and dust hovering over her destination. Once she arrives, she'll see the remains of the Denali, surrounded by Denilibits and at the end of a swathe of destruction that leads around the corner. Greg's dirty but otherwise fine D-Comm is on a pile of the few mostly-intact items from the trunk.
Sadamitsu is currently the only remotely white thing in view, holding up the wall of a collapsing building while a line of digimon are passing out eggs and wounded, carrying them to a pair of ambulances parked to the side. There's a pile of eggs next to the quickly overflowing triage area, which the scattered local digimon are adding to as they dig through the rubble.
Kulon is the last digimon to leave the building, and Sadamitsu jumps out of the way and lets the building fall. He sees the truck pull up and says something to a nearby digimon before he and Kulon head over, Kulon looking dead on his feet. Sadamitsu's eyes are the only part of him that can be seen under the armor, but his voice says exactly how exhausted he is, even if his face can't.]
Hey Haku. Glad you could make it.
Re: [Audio → Action]
Date: 2011-06-14 11:05 pm (UTC)Both stare at the destruction, Phaco somewhere between impressed and disturbed and Haku just worried.]
Damn...
Nick-nii... did all this... ?
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-14 11:10 pm (UTC)Most of this was his partner, but yeah.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-14 11:25 pm (UTC)Alright... you're exhausted, so let's try to make this quick.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-14 11:35 pm (UTC)Just tell me what you need me to do.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-14 11:44 pm (UTC)[Haku lets out a sigh, puffing at her bangs before moving over to the Denali to see if there's anything a) worth salvaging, and b) capable of being hooked up to the hitch to take back.]
Well... there's enough room on the truck for the Denali and the left of it. We can deal with sorting through it later. Here...
[she takes two large hooks attached to chains and hands them to Sadamitsu.] Hook that on to the back bumper. Make sure its secure before I start pulling. You might have to guide it along a bit since there's... pretty much no steering now.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 12:02 am (UTC)[He takes the hooks and makes sure they're secure, then gives Haku a thumbs-up. The steering turns out to be completely gone, but the Material Guard boosts his strength enough that guiding it by brute force isn't much of a problem.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 12:08 am (UTC)[Haku lowers the ramp, and after a bit of struggling with the lever the chains start retracting, dragging the mess of the Denali up on to it.]
You need to rest. And don't argue with me, I can tell. I've lived with Greg long enough to know when a human is just about at their limit.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 01:16 am (UTC)[He helps keep the Denali moving straight while it's being dragged onto the trailer. Once it's on, he steps back and hovers a few inches off the ground. He doesn't confirm or deny Haku's statement.]
Che. I'd better check it out. Don't want this mess to happen anywhere else.
[Haku, please stop the man.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 01:48 am (UTC)[Haku starts putting out the straps to tie everything down, momentarily distracted until he says he's going to check it out.
She wheels around and grabs the back of his jacket collar, yanking him backwards with surprising strength]
Ah ah ah, no way! Let them handle it! You and niichan were out all night, without sleep, and just went through a big battle!
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 02:03 am (UTC)You really expect me to back down from a fight when people are gonna get hurt? Besides, it ain't like I ain't gone into battle in way worse shape than this. I can handle it.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 02:09 am (UTC)I expect you to not run off and get killed because you're being careless! Nick is possessed, Greg is hospitalized, and you're about two steps from winding up there yourself if you go off fighting while you're this exhausted!
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 02:17 am (UTC)Like I said, I've fought in worse shape. I'm good for it.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 02:21 am (UTC)No! You're! Not! [points at the tow truck] Get in the truck!
I'd do what she says, unless you really like the feel of a wrench against your skull.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 02:46 am (UTC)And how the hell'd ya know if I am or not? You ain't seen me fight before, and ya sure as hell ain't seen what I can do even when I'm injured. Hell, I fought Ido after getting wrapped around a bridge! And I went after that ninja Sako after she put a couple dozen kunai into me! Jus' bein' tired ain't gonna be enough to stop me!
[There are now tiny sparks of white Digi-Soul moving across him.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 02:56 am (UTC)[Phasco decides he's not sticking around for the likely-to-happen digisoul powered fireworks and hops off Haku's shoulder, waddling away.]
There are already other people taking care of it, and being tired is just going to lead to stupid decisions! I'm trying to keep YOU from getting hurt, dummy!
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 03:36 am (UTC)Eh? The faster those guys get beaten down, the less people get hurt. A samurai's gotta protect the people who can't fight back, even if that means he's gonna get beaten down doin' it. Ain't it better that the man who can take it gets a little hurt? Or'd ya rather a whole shit ton of women and children get hurt instead of me? Mmm? Runt?
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 03:45 am (UTC)She squares her shoulders, not even flinching back away from him. She doesn't have any weapon on her (her scythe is in her D-Reader), but that doesn't stop her own light purple digisoul from starting.]
They do not need to be beaten down. They're good Tamers just like you and me, and they're not in control of themselves, and if that's how you really think that its pretty damn obvious you don't need to be out there! Let DATS handle it! ... [beat] And I am not a runt! I just have a small casing, you... giant!
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 04:08 am (UTC)How else're ya gonna take 'em down, flea? Sing to 'em? Go as easy as ya can, but ya gotta take 'em out fast before they cause too big a problem. An' ya said yerself, DATS ain't got enough people. Sounds like me savin' their asses is a good idea then, eh mite?
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 04:16 am (UTC)[Yeah. She's finally pissed. Pissed enough to actually manage a decent come back, and enough that she's practically glowing with Digisoul. She points at the truck again.]
Now get your sorry ass in the truck before I tie you to the flatbed and take you home that way!
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 04:33 am (UTC)[Sadamitsu mimes picking wax out of his ear with his pinkie, since the helmet prevents him from actually doing so.]
Buuut I guess whoever built ya went for boobs instead of brains, so ya wouldn't think of that, huh? Ya know, ya'd prolly fall over if ya kept yer feet too close together in the wind. Gotta be careful. Wouldn't wanna see ya get hurt.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 04:43 am (UTC)[In a flash there's a rather large wrench in her hand, instantly surrounded in digisoul. She wastes no time in lifting it and bringing it down as hard as she can on his head. Helmet and armor be damned, she's going to knock the shit out of him if no one stops her.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 05:04 am (UTC)Hey! Do ya normally go 'round hittin' guys with wrenches!?
[Kulon grabs Haku's leg and tries to push her back. Junk, however, says nothing.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 05:11 am (UTC)[Haku easily shakes Kulon off and swings again, trying to hit him despite his blocking.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 05:21 am (UTC)I can just keep doing this all day ya know.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 05:27 am (UTC)[Phasco comes wandering back, standing over Kulon while, randomly, sucking on a lolipop he seemingly got from nowhere.]
Should we stop them?
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 05:41 am (UTC)How!?
[Sadamitsu will be blocking the next few attacks that Haku makes without much trouble.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 05:51 am (UTC)[Haku just keeps wailing on Sadamitsu, bound and determined to break him. Or at least get him to cooperate.
All of a sudden, though, there's a Phascomon between them, so with a frighteningly quick maneuver for one who's normally so slow, he lashes chains around both their ankles and yanks hard. Haku isn't expecting it, and goes down like a ton of bricks.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 06:01 am (UTC)What the fuck was that for!?
[Kulon stares.]
...That works.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 06:09 am (UTC)Phasco...
No, I mean it, Haku. If he wants to help, then you should let him. It's pigheaded and probably going to get him hurt, but at least he's being noble when everything else has gone to help.
... you're right. I'm sorry...
And you! [gestures a claw at Sadamitsu] When this little lady says she cares about you, she means it. It's not some arbitrary feeling. She's got a damn big heart and you should count yourself lucky you've found a way in it instead of treating her like crap for worrying about your safety!]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 06:37 am (UTC)C'mon Kulon. [Kulon runs over and climbs onto Sadamitsu's back.] Junk? Let's look around.
[He stands there for a few seconds while nothing happens.]
Junk?
Due to a combination of combat against Nick Stokes's partner, moving large pieces of debris, and blocking Onizuka Haku's attacks, I no longer have sufficient power to operate the flight systems while maintaining defensive functions. If you wish to search for other individuals in the same state as Nick Stokes, you will need to do so on foot.
[Sadamitsu goes silent for a moment. Kulon climbs down off of his back.]
Then... [He spins... and finally notices the people watching them, as well as the local emergency services personnel who have arrived and are directing the relief efforts. He just stands there and watches blankly.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 06:43 am (UTC)She tugs on Sadamitsu's arm gently, speaking much quieter than she was a few minutes ago.]
C... come on... let's just get out of here...
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 06:55 am (UTC)[He lets her pull him towards the truck. Once they reach the cab, he removes Junk, revealing the bruises and the swollen lip covered in dried blood that he got from being tackled by Cassie earlier, along with bags under his eyes and a bit of stubble.]
Let's get going.
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 07:00 am (UTC)Its a very quiet (and some what uncomfortable) ride back to the garage. Once inside, Haku carefully backs it up in to the bay, but once out of the cab she doesn't bother unhooking the ruined Denali. Instead she heads right for her office and comes back with her own first aid kit.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 07:02 am (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2011-06-15 07:07 am (UTC)[she stops, and actually lets out a quiet little laugh at seeing that. Luckily for him she is strong for her size, and after a bit of struggling she manages to haul him out of the cab and drag him to the cot in her office.
After covering him up with a blanket, she heads out of the office, turning the lights off and closing the door behind her, but not before muttering a quiet "Goodnight, Sadamitsu-kun..." to him.]
