Data Hunt (Open)

[1st Sgt McMillan]

Ram was crouched over slightly, with his rifle held up to his face. He was walking cautiously from tree to tree, slowly looking left to right with his rifle aimed in the direction he was looking. He was moving as quietly as possible. He was currently on one of his 'Data Hunts'. He was currently hunting a rookie or lower, for a warm up.

A lone Salamon was wandering through the forest aimlessly. She had lost her way some time before, and was trying to retrace her steps. This part of the forest was dark and scary... she couldn't help but imagine noises every other couple of seconds.

"Oohh... I-I think I came this way before..." She stammered timidly "I-Im just walking in circles!"

[1st Sgt McMillan]

Ram quickly spotted the Salamon quite a ways away. He took a second to examine the target. 'Hmm... This one will do.' He thought to himself, with a dark smirk. As he approached his target his active camouflage kicked in. Instead of his normal bluish camo, it was now forest green colors. This made him difficult to detect from a distance.

Ram moved into mid-range of his target, so he could pull off a better shot. He raised his rifle to his cheek and aimed. "M16 Assassin." He said, as quietly as possible, while firing a well aimed shot at Salamon.

Salamon continued to wander by herself, worried, paranoid, alone, and afraid. She shivered at every sound she heard, but kept trying to tell herself that it was only a figment of her imagination. Nothing was there... nothing at all... she was overreacting. Well, it turned out she wasn't. She cried out as a sharp pain shot through her left sholder, the bullet contacting her, but missing her head. She fell to the ground, in pain, and tears coming from her side.

"Wh... whos there!?" She exclaims, not thinking of anything else to say. SHe had just been shot. How was she to react?

Ram smirked again. Not only did his attack hit, but it dazed the target. Ram reached in one of his pockets and pulled out a grenade. "DCD Bomb." He said, throwing the grenade over at the Salamon. It landed about a foot away from Salamon.

The little digimon eeped as the grenade landed near her, and cried out in pain, the explosion blasting her back, unable to defend herself, and slammed her into a tree, where she fell to the ground, limp. Tears were forming in her eyes.

"P-please... d-don't h-hurt me..." She stammered, her pain and sadness clear in her voice. She was a rather pitiful sight now. You would have to truly be a monster to continue to bring her harm in that state...

[1st Sgt McMillan]

(OOC: Monster, eh? lol. Don't forget my Alignment.)

Ram looked at the Salamon in its current state. His smirk quickly changed into a scowl. This was upsetting to him; Salamon didn't even try to attack back in any way at all. He moved into plain sight, with his rifle still aimed at his target. "Rrr... Some digimon you are, you don't even try to fight back! Tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t load you up with lead?" He scolded with a glare.

((Sorry. I shoulda layed off the whole helpless adorable thing a bit more >.<))

Salamon's eyes widened as the digimon stepped from the forest and aimed his gun at her, shivering as he did so. Why didn't she fight back? Why had she been walking alone in the first place? Quite simply, she hadn't evolved yet. All of her friends had. She couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't. She felt like a failure, in a way. That would explain why she had been caught and harmed so easily. Perhaps it was true. But the opponents words did make her thing she should at least try. She wouldn't just sit around anymore.

"Because... Because..." She stammered, attempting to get up. She would stand against this guy. Even with her body in the state it was. She began to glow, and grow forward from a small quadrupedal creature, to a cat that stood upon two legs, with a set of gloves around her paws. Her wounds seemed to dissapear as she changed. "Because I won't let you! Lightning Paw!"

She swung her fist at Ram, electricity coursing through it as she started her counterattack.

[1st Sgt McMillan]

Ram barely jumped out of the way of the surprise attack, though some of the static brushed against his chest. Ram quickly pulled himself together. Ram quickly observed Salamons transformation. He cracked a smirk. "Well now. Good to see you at least try." He said, as he quickly raised his rifle to his cheek. "M16 Assassin!" He shouted out, while shooting about five rounds at Gotsomon.

((Sorry about the wait. Been busy.))

The Gatomon quickly ducked, turned, and avoided all five bullets, a look of determination within her eyes not present before. She charged at Ram.

"Not just gonna try! Lightning Paw!" She called out, aiming another punch at Ram's abdomen, quickly following up with another, aiming that one in an uppercut, electricity flowing through both her paws. She didn't intend to let this guy beat her. The pain from the wounds before seemed to have all but vanished now. She was ready to fight with renewed strength.
