[Event] Called on Duty [Open]

Tristan could tell that Maximus didn't want to be here. The Labramon was on edge, fur bristling up and growling softly, jumping at any snap of twigs. Honestly, it was almost enough to make the cop reach for the gun holstered at his waist, if he were a less confident man. He could see why the Rookie was so ill at ease with the forest; the trees almost seemed hostile overhead, as though begrudging him every step he took deeper into their midst, and if it weren't for the reassurance of his radio on his shoulder, waiting for him to call for backup if he needed it, he probably would have left. Of course, not that leaving was an option. There had been a call of someone injured in the forest with lots of Digimon nearby, and since no one else on the shift had a Digimon partner, Tristan had been chosen to investigate the call. Even if he was wary about having to go out alone, especially after what had happened to his friend, he wasn't about to desert someone in need. "Stay alert, Max," he called, tempting the canine-like Digimon away from the log he had been bristling up and baring his teeth at. "We need to stick to the real threats here." "But there's ghosts here, Tristan," the Labramon whined, even if he did scamper closer. "I can smell it." "Smell it or not, the quicker we get through with this, the quicker we can go home and play fetch, okay?" he compromised, earning himself a nod from his partner. Unknowingly, in the shadows cast by the close-knit trees, the two were being watched by a pair of glowing red eyes from the brush. They were in graver danger than they thought...

“hmm hmm hmm~” “How can you be so calm? This place gives me the creeps…” Yuki ceased his rhythmic humming and glanced down at Terui. The blue rookie had been walking behind him slowly, bright red eyes darting about into the mists and the thick foliage. Terui had a complete right to be scared since this place did seem a bit off. But it was that exact thing that drew Yuki to the forest to begin with. Tipping his hat, the green haired male and digimon continued delving into the depths of the forest where he resumed his humming. “Don’t be so tense, I doubt there’s anything predatory in this forest, else we would have seen some claw marks.” Yuki offered up cheerfully. Terui seemed to physically relax at his words but mentally he still seemed to be a bit of wreck. The victory dragon took a deep breath and put a stride in his step, positioning himself in front of Yuki with a determined look on his face. “See, that’s the way.” Yuki offered a thumbs up with a smile, the male taking in the scenery. Despite the place looking rather lush, the more the duo dived into the forest, the denser the environment became. Terui’s resolve began to loosen as he felt something crawl up his spine, making him clutch himself in surprise. Yuki blinked, scratching a cheek and glancing around. Aside from the sounds of the forest and insects that flew through the air, he didn’t hear a thing. “We have company?” Terui turned around and nodded. “Maybe, I dunno. There’s something here, I can feel it.” Yuki crossed his arms and tapped his foot on the ground with a scowl. That wasn’t good news. He didn't mean to run into anyone else while he was here, and the fact the veemon couldn’t tell who or what he sensed made things worse. Maybe turning back was the best idea… Before the option was even available to them, a loud sound cut through the tense moment like a knife. Twigs snapped, the bushes rustled loudly. Terui and Yuki visibly tensed before the dragon digimon took a preemptive move and charged through one of the rustling bushes with a grunt and growl, fists raised high. As he cut through the grass, the dragon digimon would eventually bump into someone or something, or worse, punch them with abandon.  “Ugh, what am I going to do with you…” Yuki mumbled to himself. He put his hands in his pockets, fingers rapping on the metal inside as he followed his partner slowly. On the off chance Yuki was right, there was no such thing as being too careful.

Once the trees started getting closer and closer together, Tristan could put it off no longer. The situation was quickly turning into that of going into a building, and that meant that he was going to have to draw his weapon. He whistled Maximus closer, the Labramon helping him to cover himself when the trees got close enough that he would have to slice the pie, ever wary of an assault. Finally, Maximus barked, wheeling on a bush that was shaking even as he let out a battle cry and sprang forward, teeth bared and ready to protect his Tamer. "Max!" Tristan called, jogging forward when the Labramon fell out of the bush tussling with a blue dinosaur-like Digimon, but he didn't even get his sight on it before another creature was bounding out of the brush, a larger purple canine that was snarling and throwing Maximus' opponent across the clearing, fur bristling up and axes on its body glinting ominously in the sunlight. "You will not harm my owner!" a feminine voice proclaimed from the Labramon's rescuer, and it was with shock that the police officer realized that the cry had come from the large dog that was between him and the other Digimon. She was bigger, like a collie or a sheepdog, compared to Maximus' Labrador, and if appearances were to be believed, her fur was longer and silkier. However, before Tristan could make a move to figure out if his eyes were lying to him or not, he registered a rustle from the bushes, and he instinctively lifted his service weapon, too hard-wired to react defensively, even if he didn't pull the trigger, while Maximus bristled at his feet, shaking off the shock of being pounced upon by the other Digimon and then being rescued by the larger canine that the American was willing to put money on was more than just a Rookie. "Police!" he called, identifying himself in a manner that clearly established his reason for being so cautious; usually it wasn't law enforcement who ventured this far from the walls, having lost too many of their number early on. "Are you friend or foe?"

OTL I got a little carried away in the confrontation scene, gomen. If you have a problem, feel free to tell me and I'll fix it, my brain is just too sleepy to try to write something else up right now.

Oh…oh boy, those weren’t good sounds. The only good sound would have been Terui saying everything was clear, but it wasn’t Yuki could hear the sounds of scuffling and punches being thrown as he was fighting whatever was on the other side of the dense bush. Before Yuki knew it, they were caught in a situation they couldn’t squirm out of because of the Veemon’s panicky brashness. He heard the grunts and barks of the two creatures fighting, but a distinct click caught his ears more than anything. A weapon? At the possible inclusion of that, Yuki took a deep sigh and stepped forward into the open, hands in his pockets. “Okay, okay, mind putting down that thing? Can’t call myself friend but I’m not foe, sheesh.” He grumbled, putting his hands up begrudgingly. Meanwhile, Terui had dashed through the bushes, colliding with another digimon and simply attempted to land a few slugs on wherever he could get. The veemon was simply flailing about with no rhyme or rhythm and just to put down whatever was going to attack him beforehand. The barks and cries reached his ears, but the mention of ‘harming his owner’ is what made him cease movement. Sadly, before Terui could actually check to see who he was fighting with, he was thrown by another being, something incredibly big enough to throw him. “Uwahh!” Terui cried out as he was launched into the air, limbs flailing about. The veemon shifted around in the few seconds he had left, focusing the center of his gravity and feet first. The small dragon digimon skidded across the ground for a few centimeters before his sliding came to a complete stop, Terui scanning for any injuries before giving a double take at the situation laid out in front of him. A small canine with floppy ears and another possible canine clad in metallic claws and silky purple fur both facing in his direction while another human had something pointed towards Yuki who had followed him out into the open. The small dragon shifted into a fighting stance, eyes put into a glare to look as menacing as he could for a Rookie. At the moment he decided to charge in head first, Yuki’s voice slipped through the dramatic moment like a hissing snake. “Terui! Probably not a good idea~.” The dragon looked at his tamer closely for a few moments, Yuki’s face bearing nothing but a small smile. He seemed fine for the most part, but the two mutts put him on edge. Terui ceased his aggressiveness and crossed his arms, never leaving eye contact with the other two digimon. “Okay, clearly we’ve got a misunderstanding, how’s about you let us go, hmm?”

Tristan slowly lowered the weapon slightly. "Sorry," he murmured softly, blue eyes flicking over the man and the Digimon on the ground. "These are dangerous days... Didn't know what I was walking out into, and with Max getting antsier by the minute, it seemed smarter to draw first." Slowly, he holstered his weapon, something that eased the Labramon slightly, the clunk of the handgun settling in the holster a sound that he already associated with safety. The other Digimon, however, growled at the Veemon when the Rookie started to take a fighting stance, her paws spreading out slightly with an obvious determination to defend herself if there was another attack coming. She waited patiently while the Rookie considered it, and it was only when the dragon had crossed his arms that she relaxed slightly, straightening up and silencing her growl. Tristan, meanwhile, dipped his head. "Yeah, though if you don't mind waiting for me to find whoever called in that they were injured, Max an' I can give you an escort back to Hiroshima." He let out a bark of a laugh. "I'm Tristan, by the way. Tristan Hardy." He nodded his head towards the other Digimon. "I'm assuming she's not yours then." To his surprise, the purple canine sniffed haughtily. "Hardly. His scent reeks of ill intentions." Her tail flicked. "I'm Dixie, a Digimon free to choose my own path. And I choose to stick with you, Tristan, rather than sully my fur with vermin like that." She leveled a glance at the other human and the Veemon. "No offense, of course."

Yuki simply shrugged his shoulders the moment he was able to put his hands down. Running into a police officer wasn’t on the list of things to do today, but what could you do. It seemed the poor guy was incredibly antsy. He glanced down at the floppy eared golden furred canine staring at Terui with his fur bristling in every direction. Having a creature be that on edge couldn’t help much either, he figured. He waved off the apology and gave a smile that assured he wasn’t annoyed in the slightest. Peeved, yes but this encounter wasn’t inherently bad. Yuki looked over at the pair of digimon and began to walk through them. The police officer would have looked at him crazy after the larger canine’s statement, but considering they were mostly friends, he had little reason to be scared. “Nope, she aint mine. Besides, smells kind of…icky.” He chuckled. Terui met him with a smile, but kept an even look towards the two digimon once Yuki was at his side. “Now, what did you learn?” Yuki crouched down at eye level with the dragon. Terui gave a hesitant chuckle, scratching the back of his head as a flush of pink rose up on his scaled face. “Don’t charge in like that. But I couldn’t help it…” The dragon pushed his index fingers together, bright red eyes glancing towards the Labramon and Sanglupomon once more. The green haired male simply patted Terui on the head with a grin. “It’s fine. Just don’t go off leavin’ me alone like that, better we stick together, eh?” Once he finished his words, Yuki turned his direction toward the police officer. “I don’t plan on leaving any time soon, officer. Seeing as you’ve got a job, maybe the best idea is to stick around another, at least for now.” It was a silly offer judging from the look on Terui’s face and the possible expressions from the other digimon. The Veemon glanced up at his tamer who merely gave him a reassuring pat on his back. More was usually better, at least in unknown territory. “At least we get some shields if shit does go down.” He thought. Returning to his standing position, Yuki stretched his limbs and slowly bowed in front of the other group, tipping his fedora. “And the name is Shimada, pleased to meet you.”
