[locked to Dark Army + Kurata's allies]

[better_than_him]

To the Dark Area Army, I give my greetings where Kurata is no longer capable of doing so.

My name is Kagura Tsukasa. I was one of the Tamers that worked alongside Kurata in the events of last month, and in particular, the one in charge of Royal Base's infiltration. Also, if I may toot my own horn, the one responsible for TigerVespamon's rather grievous injury.

We share a common foe in DATS, so I figured it would be worth at least asking. Our sensors detected a rather... abnormal fluctuation from the Dark Area on Saturday. Further investigation has indicated DATS had part in this battle.

Our ability to detect what's going on in Royal Base is a bit limited, and they've been keeping their actions close to the chest. Likely locking out us... "hostiles" from their communications where it warrants.

I'm simply wondering. What DID happen down there? Or, if you're not at liberty to give exlpicit details for your own security - which is most understood, given you have little reason to trust US - could you tell me if DATS' fighting strength was affected in any way? That fact, at least, benefits the both of us, because anything that weakens them strengthens both of us.

Thank you for your time.

...

You worked alongside Kurata?

Re: [locked]

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

Whom, may I ask, wants to know?

Re: [locked]

[legionary-pride.livejournal.com]

... Let's just wait before I reveal that, hmm?

But you should know, EBEmon is dead.

Re: [locked]

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

EBEmon, you say?

Hm.

Well, that is an unfortunate thing, isn't it?

Re: [locked]

[legionary-pride.livejournal.com]

If you are referring to his secret involvement with you, I am already well aware.

Re: [locked]

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

Well, that's easier than beating around the bush then, isn't it? ^_^

Is there something you wished to discuss?

Re: [locked]

[legionary-pride.livejournal.com]

I'm just making sure we're all on the same playing field.

Re: [locked]

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

And may I ask, what field is that?

Re: [locked]

[legionary-pride.livejournal.com]

Let's just say there are consequences for the alliances we make.

Re: [locked]

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

...oh, yes. I am well aware.

[dive-npc.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

It does not seem that they suffered any meaningful losses. Some cannon fodder and a meaningless little agent, it seems.

The real question is, though... why do you want to know? I sincerely doubt that this is a show of brotherhood.

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

...an agent, you say? Any idea as to whom? Perhaps if I could know the partners of those involved, at least?

I will be perfectly honest, and say it is... as I said. Any known weaknesses they may have benefit us both. So long they are weakened, everything is well, no matter who does it, correct?

The more information, the better either of us knows how to hit them. WHERE to hit them. The loss of an agent may seem meaningless to you, who commands so many...

But to DATS, every member of their ranks is viewed just as important as the last. The loss of one hurts the whole a FAR greater deal than you may think... and knowing which one that is, my friend, is QUITE key into undermining them.

[dive-npc.livejournal.com]

I do not concern myself with the names of those who are dead. But... on those grounds, I may just attempt to determine it.

That is true, but how do I know that whatever benefits you benefits me? DATS is your enemy, but I am not so certain it is because you have the Dark Area's best interests at heart.

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

Oh, in this matter, I assure you. I only ask for my concern of weakening DATS in whatever manner possible.

Our end goals may end up being different, but this? Is an obstacle in both our paths.

[dive-npc.livejournal.com]

Hm. I am still not prepared to help along something that might be an obstacle as well.

I shall have to consider this matter, Tamer.

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

Well, as I said. Thank you for you time, at the least.

[traitors-hubris.livejournal.com]

Well, well. Kurata's other little pet comes out to talk. And stroke his own ego, if I might be so attuned to your statement.

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

Oh, it speaks.

I merely figured they should know to whom they were speaking. Just... merely stating facts, is all.

But, "pet?" Heh. Hardly. We merely have... similar interests.

Gentlemen, please.

Let us not... quarrel amongst ourselves.

Re: [locked]

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

I quarrel not, Black-san.

Merely defending my own interests, is all.

Re: [locked]

[traitors-hubris.livejournal.com]

As am *I*, of course. And I can totally understand that the young one wants to make a name for himself! After all, he crippled the Royal Base and kept DATS from working at 100% capacity since!

...But need I remind both of you who gave the nice professor *my* technology that ravaged the Digital World? Or who saved his life afterwards?

Re: [locked]

[xtreme-makeovah.livejournal.com]

And need I remind you which one of us has the practical knowledge to maintain both Kurata's technology and make sure he stays alive?

We... need each other, you might say.

Re: [locked]

[better-than-him.livejournal.com]

I can't disregard the benefits, of course.

Re: [locked]

[xtreme-makeovah.livejournal.com]

Of course.

We're all one big happy family.
