Digimon: The Last Hope [Rp thread]

[dakirbymaster]

"Whoa whoa whoa... why do I have to choose between you two?" Taylor said, surprised. "When I asked you two to accompany me after we fought Kabuterimon, I didn't think we'd split up. Caesar obviously wants to go on his own, so let him. We'll see him again, I'm sure of it!"

"Yeah, and I like hanging out with Veemon and Lunamon!" HeatGabumon said excitedly.

"See? Even HeatGabumon here agrees. So whaddaya say? Shall we continue our little trio's adventures?" She offered her hand out between Ari and Caleb.

[tavishmithos]

Caesar and Orien both turned to each other and sighed, now completely exasperated. Just as they had been saying, nobody wanted to be around or see them, where Caleb had tried a little, the other digimon were simply against Coronamon and didn't at all want their company. The entire scene had been a killer waste of time add the sky had continued to darken.

"Wow."

"You said it Caesar."

The two walked off and this time didn't bother saying anything to any of the humans or digimon. This was the path they were destined to take, often times only because the trail of light was blinding and not many were able to just walk along it and keep a steady direction. The darkness was the same in certain aspects but seemed easier for those that turned to it seeking power for corruption of themselves in the process.

As the duo neared the split where the path went astray, Caesar chuckled to himself and moved off to the right, while on the left path Orien scratched a message in the dirt to take the path he'd marked. That way both zones would be covered and the time spend on this task could be reduced dramatically.

Mere feet onto the side they'd chosen, the area was colder and darker as if the moutain itself was radiating darkness and turmoil. Orien sensed something but couldn't quite place where it was coming from. "I don't like this one bit Caesar."

[umazak]

Choronamon takes the new calm after the destruction of the Digimon as a chance to jump onto Sasaki's shoulders. The human doesn't mind this as much as he probably should, so he lets the little creature stay up there for now as he walks back to the others. There he listens to what the others have to say and he has to admit that the prospect of them being the best ones in the group does seem a bit funny. But he decides to keep his own enjoyment of the thought to himself before he starts to think about how the three of them could just possibly the best ones in the team right now. But then there's that one other guy with the other Choronamon.

"I'm sure they have someone better than one of us. If nothing else, there's the guy with the other Choronamon. But we really should get going. I don't feel like being ambushed again, even if that last one was really weak."

Tropical Jungle


"Wizardmon do you think you can get Coredramon out of their without harming him?" Xeon asked as Wizardmon managed to push himself back up onto his feet, making his way towards the cave’s entrance to better see the two digimon.

“I will give it my hardest.” With that, Wizardmon clutched the sun shaped wand tightly once again, before dark clouds began to gather above the Tropical Jungle. Unlike those that had begun to appear around Mount Infinity, these dark clouds seemed much smaller and isolated, and much lower than those in the sky.


A sudden boom of thunder echoed throughout the area, as small displays of the massive amounts of electricity within the clouds started to take shape.

“Electro Squall!” Yelled Wizardmon as he shot his arm and wand into the air, suddenly causing the clouds to erupt, raining bolts of lightning everywhere, many of which pierced Arukenimon’s threads, causing them to catch on fire before spreading and destroying much more of the sticky web.


Server Continent


Speeding across the barren wastelands of the Server Continent, the massive Granlocomon continued to plough straight ahead, stopping for neither digimon nor obstacle. Its giant spiked front wheel pierced and crushed anything in its way, while thick gold platted rails materialised underfoot, appearing just for the massive digimon to travel across, before disappearing a few seconds later once not needed anymore.

Within one of its large long containers, an elegant room was crafted perfectly for its occupants. Upon the looming gold throne, Barbamon held within his long clawed hand an almost pure black orb. From inside the murky dark colours, a single image was constantly shown, that of the massive ritual pit deep within the Dark Area.

Watching as the three mushroom shaped creatures floated into the air in their ghost like forms, Barbamon smiled as the three figures shook and pleaded with the Demon Lord, telling him all they knew in hopes of being spared. Especially that of the young woman and her digimon that they had met, which seemed to cause the old digimon to smile even wider, showing off his fang like teeth.

[soraking10]

OCC: Gonna powerplay some of the group to get things moving along. Just post accordingly.

Chris

After they all were in agreement to go find the others, Chris and Liollmon, Sasaki and Coronamon, Vera and Salamon, and Van and Devidramon all made their way through the way they came. If they retraced their steps, they should be able to get themselves into a point of the forest where they would be able to determine where the others are. Even if they might not be at the last point that Chris knew he heard some kind of commotion, it still was the only lead they had to go off of.

Thankfully thanks to Liollmon's excellent sense of smelling, the group would be able to reunite with the others a lot faster if things progressed as they have been. The first point of success was that they were able to make it to where they last were with the others, but they seemed to not be there. Chris looked around for some idea where they might have gone, and he came up empty. Just when he was about to give up, Liollmon smelled them going north. By the looks of it, that's where the mountain was.

"hmmm, well I guess any times is better than any, right?" Chris pondered on the thought. The fact that the mountain is way up there, and they are way down here, it doesn't look like they are gonna get anywhere if they just stay where they are right now.

"Chris, your call." Liollmon said, reassuring him that he was the bonafied leader of this little group.

"Appreciate the vote of confidence." Chris glared at Liollmon.

There wasn't any other plan, so guess the one that Chris brought up is as good as any. "So, let's go up to that mountain.

Gargoylemon

If this wasn't a plan going smoothly, then Gargoylemon didn't know what was. The whole thing was just going according to what Gargoylemon wanted. These 'plans' included getting the weaker children together with each other, and for Gargoylemon to be able to deal with that Caesar brat. If anything, that kid and his coronamon are a nuisance to him.

He knew that the power of that little pest would probably be troublesome for his plans, and thus why he waited until the perfect opportunity to strike. It's true that he might not be attacking Gargoylemon directly, but doesn't mean he can't corrupt a digimon to do his bidding for him. Yes, that is exactly what he's going to do.

Flying around incognito, Gargoylemon found himself a wonderful servant in the form of Stingmon. This bug digimon holds the knowledge of not only File Island, the digital world, but it holds the secrets of the Digivice which Gargoylemon has suspected the stupid teens know nothing about.

From what he saw, Stingmon was walking to some place. Based on the areas, he was nearing The Digivice Temple, which was connected to a part of the island that was a good chuck of Tropical Jungle. Gargoylemon found this interesting.

Stingmon

Walking around Tropic Jungle, Stingmon was wary of his surroundings. He had known of the troubles that File Island has been in, and with the advancements that Gargoylemon had made in his recent attacks, it's no doubt that he wouldn't do anything to discover the truths about the Digivice. This is the exact reason why Stingmon went to go visit an old, and dear friend of his.

Walking into the Digivice Temple that resides on the part of File Island known as Ancient Dino Regions, there lies a deep maze on the way into the heart of the temple guarded by a legendary digimon known for his honor, and just as much for his strength and bravery. This digimon is fierce, yet kind. This digimon is...

"Centarumon! Are you here Centarumon?" Stingmon called out.

Coming out of the shadows, Centarumon appeared behind Stingmon, but Stingmon caught the awareness of his presence.

Startled slightly, Stingmon smiled, "You startled me old friend." Stingmon has his guard down.

"Solar Laser!"

Before he could respond, Stingmon was stricken by the Solar Laser that fired from Centarumon's mechanical hand that launched a yellow laser right at Stingmon. Having catch him so off-guard, Stingmon was more shocked than he would have been if he had known of this betrayal. Because of the strength of the laser, Stingmon was on one knee, favoring his abdomens.

"Why Centarumon? Why?"

Centarumon smiled before a cloud of black smoke appeared in the room. Stingmon couldn't see anything, but something in his gut told him it was bad. It wasn't until a few minutes that the smoke ceased, and before him, Stingmon couldn't believe it.

"Not you, anybody but you.."

Gargoylemon

Appearing in all of his glory, Gargoylemon was the mystery figure who Stingmon was so frightened by, and what reason would give him to think otherwise? Gargoylemon is the source of everything that is corrupt and impure on File Island. He his the source of the blackened skies, and to put quite simply, he IS evil.

"You will take down the digidestined for me." Gargoylemon said, as his feet were planted firmly on the ground. His entire body felt like there was an evil energy source within the room, but that's just Gargoylemon's regular presence.

Stingmon felt the injury from Centarumon's Solar Laser still affecting his ability to stand, let alone attack. He was completely helpless in this predicament. All he could do was pretend he could do shit, and perhaps it would make Gargoylemon seem worried.

"Why would I do anything for you?" Stingmon snarled. "I would never sink so low as to do your dirty work. You want to destroy the peace and harmony of File Island."

Gargoyle laughed, and then laughed some more. The fact that Stingmon could make such statements, especially in the state he's obviously in. Who is he trying to prove, anyways? Gargoylemon knew that he was too injured to make statements he couldn't back up, let alone try to fight. Gargoylemon thought it was a pretty pathetic attempt, though admirable of the lowest level.

"Who are you to decide that?" Gargoylemon walked forward. His entire body began to emit a dark red glow. His left arm raised to the air, and all the dark energy that surrounded him went to that hand, and it exploded with a surge of crimson data.

"Dark Hand." Gargoylemon said as he pierced Stingmon with, quite literally, a touch of evil. Not only did it corrupt his data, but thanks to the corrupted data digging into his digicore, it altered his appeared into an inverted, dark-pink color. His wings, and everything else had a combination of black and grey.

"What is your bidding master?" Stingmon bowed with his arm across his chest, and his head bowed down, and Stingmon on one knee.

"There is a child with a gold Coronamon. Kill them." Gargoylemon ordered.

Stingmon

As he had gotten his orders, Stingmon was heading towards the last known location this child with the gold Coronamon was last seen. Based on the information, they were heading to the icy part of the island, which is perfect for Stingmon. Since he wants to do away with them as swiftly as he can, with them in place where no one is around, it would be even more convenient.

Flying around, Stingmon found them. They were not aware of his presence, so Stingmon had the upper-hand at this point. His two spiked shoulder pads rose up, and his stinger in both hands popped out as they had a dark red shade to it.

"Double Spiking Strike" Stingmon said as he twirled his body downward, spinning so fast that he brought his arms close together, and as the rotation continued, his entire body, in the twisting formation, looked like a dark red tornado coming at Coronamon and Caesar.

[MegaWallflower]

~Dakota~

Dakota wasn't sure how far she'd run, but it suddenly didn't matter. That Cerba- whatever had just managed to block their path, so she stopped in her tracks. Either it was faster or she'd run in a circle. It didn't exactly matter which it was, though. The were probably doomed.

Seeing the thing start to cry when Lalamon sang snapped her out of her fear, though. It was basically just a dog, right? Dakota let go of Lalamon, who almost fell. She quickly started spinning her leaf to stay airborne though. "Don't cry, Cerberusmon, it's okay," Lalamon said as she saw the larger digimon.

"Lalamon, just get ready to fight," Dakota whispered, still a little shaky. She pulled out her baseball bad and held it out in front of her.

"What did you do? Why was I crying? What was that flash in my mind?!" Cerberusmon demanded.

Dakota wasn't going to be intimidated this time. She choked up on the bat, waiting for it to attack her. Lalamon, on the other hand, seemed a lot calmer considering the situation. "I was singing so you'd fall asleep," Lalamon explained. "Were you having a nightmare?" Dakota briefly considered hitting her with the bat, but they were partners, for better or for worse.

Luckily, Cerberusmon apparently had somewhere to go. His warning of stronger digimons to come got to Dakota, though. "Lalamon,"she said after Cerberusmon was out of sight. "We're going to have to train you. You're practically useless out here!"

"I am not," Lalamon argued. "I just don't like to fight a lot. I won against those Mushroomon, didn't I? I no one had to get hurt."

"Yeah, well I'm guessing someone's going to get hurt if we do this right, aren't they?" Dakota said, exasperated. "Let's find some weaker digimon to beat first, then maybe you'll get stronger. That's how this game works, isn't it?" Dakota returned her bat to her bag and stretched her arms. At least she was getting some excercise while she was there.

"No," Lalamon answered admantly. "We're the bad guys if we go around hurting innocent digimon for no reason. Why should we attack friendly ones?"

"So you'll have a chance at winning?" Dakota joked. "Besides, you thought Cerberusmon was friendly. I'm not asking your opinion here. You wanna be my partner? Earn the right to work with me. I don't like carrying the team."

Lalamon yawned and tried to fly back into Dakota's arms, but Dakota crossed her arms tightly. "If you won't fight yet then you're at least going to get faster. Fly- or run, whichever -on your own."

"You're not friendly at all," Lalamon complained, but she complied, since there was no choice. "I have to train you in being a friend."

"Ha, please, enlighten me," Dakota said, rolling her eyes. Friendship was going to save this world for sure. Because that wasn't wishful thinking.

"Gladly."

~Ari~

Ari chuckled softly. That really had accomplished nothing... She wondered whether or not she should apologize to Ceaser for wasting his time, but that might be considered a further waste of time.

Still, Ari couldn't help but feel that the four of them should separate at all. There was strength in numbers, after all, and that batte with Flymon should have proven that. She personally wanted to find the others that had left with that girl before she continued anywhere.

But none of that was her choice, in the end. If everyone else wanted to go, including the digimon, well, who was she to stop them? She put her first aid kit back in to her backpack and stared at the sky once more. It was really starting to worry her. "Let's go, then," she said, smiling at the others. If those two were with her, at least they could protect each other.

[Xeon{Myroku}]

~Xeon and Dracomon~

Coredramon continued to struggle in his web trap as the threads start to dig into his skin. Arukenimon was coming close to him, she was ready to finish him off. But before things turned grim a bolt of lightning came down and hit the web trap Coredramon was in causing it to burst into flames. Coredramon was able to get out of it and swat Arukenimon away with his tail again catching her off gaurd.

"What?! How did you-?" Arukenimon turned her attention to the Wizardmon who was holding up his staff.

"You! You have meddled for the last time!" She pulled out strands of her hair and fling them out at Wizardmon like needles. "Needle Sting!" Each piece of hair hit Wizardmon straight on, they didn't kill him but it just injured him severely.

"Wizardmon!" Xeon held him up and tried taking the needles off of him.

"That's it! Your gonna pay for that you hag!" Coredramon growled. His eyes shined again as he opened his mouth preparing another G Shurenen II again.

"No you don't!" Arukenimon fired another web at him but she wasn't quick enough, Coredramon blased his G Shurenen II at Arukenimon which destroyed the web she fired and blasted her clear through the jungle. Unsure if Arukenimon was destroyed by Coredramons attack but it didn't matter now, Coredramon used too much energy and devolved back to Dracomon. When he was back to his normal state he went over to Xeon to help him out with Wizardmon.

"Is he okay?" Dracomon asked.

"Yeah, these needles don't appear to have any poison in them. She probably was just trying to prevent him by using any more spells." Xeon pulled out the last needle from Wizardmon.

"Well you've been a great help to us Wizardmon. If you hadn't gotten me out of that web sooner we might all be her meal." Dracomon chuckled. "How do you feel Wizardmon?"

[soraking10]

Lucemon

With the other six demon lords going about their business, Lucemon is also going about his business. He knows of what exactly each demon lord is up to due to the fact that Lucemon considers himself the supreme leader of the Seven Demon Lords. While the other six probably will disagree with this notion, Lucemon's pride prompts him to ignore their digression.

Onto the activities he's engaging, Lucemon currently is residing on his throne. His throne room is large, and it's only of the finest detail. Several pillars coated with a shiny marble material hold up the room's roof which is a transparent sunroof. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling throughout the entire room. In-between each gap the pillars have, stands Knightmon strait with their sword and shield sheathed in allegiance to their Lord and Master, Lucemon.

The ground of the throne room is made from a material that has a smooth feel, and a perfect white color. The throne itself is of gold and red colors with the cushion being the most comfortable aside from Lucemon's own bed.

Entering the Throne Room, a pack of Knightmon came rushing in. In each of their hands were a single folder that had the seal of File Island. "Lord Lucemon, we have the reports you had asked for." Said the Knightmon as they all bowed on one knee in a single-file line.

Lucemon smiled. He liked the way they presented themselves. "You may rise." Lucemon raised their approval to rise up.

"Yes sir." The Knightmon had risen up all at once.

"Now, tell me my dear Knightmon," Lucemon said gazing up at the ten Knightmon, "what has my loyal servants found out."

The knightmon, all at once, said this...

"We have reports that not only Gargoylemon is doing what you anticipated, but it also seems that Ceberumon has also been spotted on the Island." They said, flipping pages to the next one on the file. "Furthermore, we have within right reason that the children are getting stronger. They respectively took out DeviFlymon, the corrupted form of Flymon, and Witchmon." The Knightmon finished.

Lucemon was intrigued by this matter. He had underestimated these children. Originally, he had thought they wouldn't be able to defeat the Kabuterimon, but in light of recent events, that proved to be wrong. It's true that they might not hold the power of the Crests, but it still leaves room for their powers to grow even without those crests.

"I see." Lucemon smiled.

Wanting to investigate this matter even more, Lucemon took it upon himself to go visit File Island himself. It seemed like the only right thing to do since these children are able to defeat a fully-corrupted Flymon AND a Witchmon.

"Ready my carriage." Lucemon ordered.

"YESSIR!"

[King Kittan]

Somewhere within the Digital World....

The skies were apart as a bright light shined forth from the sky upon a lake within a forest. A figure could be seen falling like a rock before slowing down and splashing into the lake. It was a minute or so before this figure swam to the top of the water, gasping for air. This figure turned out to be a boy with long blonde hair and green eyes. Swimming to the shore was quick as he wondered where he could have been. He crawled out of the water on his hands and knees, confused to no end. Several looks around the area provided him with no clear clue to where he was. It was such a weird place to look it as it did not resemble a single spot on Earth.

"Where am I?" The boy asked before yelling, "WHERE AM I?!"

[sephiroth2]

------------------------------------------------------------

Tropical Jungle


As the bolts of lightning finally began to fade away, Wizardmon just managed to raise his working arm and wand ahead of him, before the onslaught of Arukenimon’s Needle Sting collided with his already hurt body, harming him much further. Collapsing back into the catching arms of Xeon, who was already busy beginning to remove the needles as best as he could, the Wizard could only listen to what happened next with the mighty digimon battling one another. Within no time at all Arukenimon’s scream was heard fading farther and farther away after Coredramon unleashed his G Shurenen II.

As Xeon pulled the final needle out of Wizardmon, he informed the now de-evolved back Dracomon that he would be ok and that no terminal harm came of it. The wizard slowly opened his eyes after a few moments, feeling much better now that the painful needles had been removed, before looking up to the watching Dracomon and Xeon.

"Well you've been a great help to us Wizardmon. If you hadn't gotten me out of that web sooner we might all be her meal." Dracomon chuckled, which in turn caused Wizardmon to try and reply; only managing to start before a coughing fit happened.

"How do you feel Wizardmon?"

“More tired than I have ever been in a long time…but it is good you are safe.” Said the Wizard as he slowly stood, with the odd stumble in his attempt, before managing to stand to his full, yet short, size.

“I believe I can manage to walk. It should help my strength return.” The Wizard said as he realised the three now stood outside the cave and in the little clearing before it. Taking a couple of steps to turn around and survey the area, Wizardmon looked back to Xeon and Dracomon.

“If you wish to get to the Day-care Village, we should head in that direction. I remember I passed such a place when I was travelling that way.” He said, pointing to one way which Xeon and Dracomon were headed, before adding to point in the completely opposite direction from where the Wizard had run away from.

[tavishmithos]

"I knew I was right the entire time!!!"

Orien ducked down low along with Caesar as the Stingmon attacked with his double Spiking Strike. Normally the speeds as so on of Stingmon and its stealth would have easily gotten the better of the team but they had the power of the light on their side. Stingmon was a corrupted digimon and it was more powerful than its original version, no doubt the message about Gargoylemon had been true and he was the cause of this area's corruption.

It was a mess to be reckoned with but in the meantime, Orien had swallowed a capsule given to him by Caesar, that further allotted him the use of each of his attacks. The effect was immediate, as when Orien launched out several of his flare attacks, they moved faster and expanded outward in a burning web like fashion. The point of the attack was to not only damage, but also meant for Stingmon to be caught in a multi-layered web of hardening light. "Now that's what I'm talking about." Caesar looked perplexed by the situation even though nothing bad had actually happened. An entire slew of questions had arisen due to Stingmon's attack. Was Stingmon actually tracking them?? Did that mean that the jamming effect Caesar had put on them had been disabled??

"We just can't get enough action, what's with all these bugs coming after us?? I thought bugs didn't like fire. Looks to me like we're just gonna have to burn them all."

This variant of questions that came from Orien made Caesar snap out of his own panic of inquiries and turn to see what had happened to Stingmon, he was only hoping that more information could be obtained from this enemy, if not then it would only be a waste of time and that wasn't what the duo needed at all.

Caesar was already becoming annoyed even though he had just recent calmed down. "Come on Orien, GET HIM!!! Make him feel the power of the light!!!" He found the idea of ripping Singmon apart piece by piece quite entertaining, it was like the rush of pain he imagined the evil digimon going through had become relentless in only such a short period of time and he didn't want to stop.

[soraking10]

Stingmon

Even while he's currently under the corrupted rule of Gargoylemon, Stingmon still fought the darkness. The only problem with this, however, was that the amount of corruption, the amount of darkness seeping through his very being began to cloud his judgement, and everything in him that was against fighting the digidestined. It was under Gargoulemon's rule that the Double Spiking Strike not only had twice the power and striking accuracy of Spiking Strike, but it also had double the speed. However, that was taken care of pretty quickly with the gold Coronamon used a nice combo of its Flare attack that seemed to spread into a web-like structure made of pure light and fire.

"Not gonna work." Stingmon said.

Right as the web-like structure of light and flame started to form around Stingmon, he twirled his body in a fast, swirling motion that was clock-wise. The speeds that the tornado that Stingmon created by twisting his body soon demonstrated how powerful the corruption of Gargoylemon was as the color of Stingmon's mon-made tornado went from a green and silver color into a chaotic pink and black color combo. Into further inspection, the web of light and fire wasn't destroyed, but rather it was absorbed. From a far away distance, it looked like it was destroyed, but up close and personal, Stingmon absorbed the web of light and fire. This power was soon redirected at Coronamon as Stingmon kept his twirling.

"Chaotic Tornado!" Stingmon shouted as a combination of yellow light, red flames, and just a combination of the corruption of Stingmon was fired at Coronamon is one single blastwave that was mighty impressive as it had a wide diameter.

[DMrayZ]

Caleb nodded, if it was meant to be just the three of them, well, he was alright with that, he had a feeling that together, they could accomplish anything. " I just know, if we take our time, and stick together, everything we do will go our way." He said, smiling as he put an arm on both of them, walking as he led them down the road. Truly, they were the three musketeers of the digital world, the ice cream sandwich of digitown, the.... Well, they were a good trio, was his point, made all the more powerful by the strength of their digital partners.

Veemon nodded excitedly, "Absolutely, With Gabumon and Lunamon at my side, I know I can't be defeated! If we try, now and forever, then no matter what comes next we'll be okay!." He gave Lunamon and Gabumon a tight hug, pulling the three together as they followed their digidestined.

Caleb nodded, "But for now, we're probably falling behind, so let's kick it up." And with that, he hurried the group along, quickly finding the marked path. "Okay, so... I suppose he marked our intended path for us... You both sure you want to let him go it alone?"

[tavishmithos]

"Great, randomly absorbed every attack you just used like it was nothing?? The hell is this??" Caesar felt the need to question the level of power that this Stingmon had and just how much the darkness had effected him, but there were other matters at hand such as the next attack that Stingmon had used. Ultimately it had formed a massive surging tornado of flames and light and even corrupted energy.

The focus that Caesar could see was an amazing one. The first insight was that Orien wasn't affected by the power of his own light, so that part of the attack was just strung right through him and drew upon the corruption to increase the strength of Orien.

The flames also weren't going to do anything, so the attack's destructive power only melted the ice that was along the ground. The burst of energy from the attack was widespread but as Orien's power basically defended him, there was no lapse in his thinking. "Hold on Caesar, I got your back you know that." He jumped into the air and an aura rapidly built up around him, expelling a field of energy in an ability he rarely demonstrated. This field radiated a light that blew the energy of Stingmon's attack away but the energy raged for several seconds while caesar covered his face from the output of the two colliding attacks. At such close range it was quite dangerous for a normal human to be exposed to that.

"Stingmon what has happened to you?? We don't need to fight, please understand. Orien, try and help him. Please do something." Caesar was confused, first he wanted to destroy Stingmon but now all he wanted to do was help the corrupted digimon. His digivice had already begun to shine brightly but nothing was happening. Orien had started to run rapidly back and forth across Stingmon, and each time he passed a spray of light was directed at this twisted enemy. The point of the attack was not to seriously harm or even really damage him but instead, force his data into overdrive by driving light directly into him...

Orien sighed as he ran back and forth, "This has to work, I dunno if I can digivolve again yet but if I do I'm sure I can take him as Angemon."

[dakirbymaster]

"He's already headed off, so let him journey. He'll be fine, I'm sure! So shall we go?" Taylor suggested.

"Yeah, let's be off. We need to save this island!" HeatGabumon added excitedly. Taylor nodded and took a few steps before collapsing.

"Maybe this won't be as easy as I'd thought..." she mumbled, hands on the wrap around her rolled ankle. HeatGabumon sat down next to her, concerned.

"Will you be okay, Talyn?"

"Yeah, I should be. I just need to rest for a minute." And with that, she started to whistle. It was a slow song, but one that she'd always loved. HeatGabumon seemed perplexed by what she was doing, altering the notes of the whistle and making them tremble beautifully. She kept whistling too, focusing on it and nothing else. She was really in the moment, and HeatGabumon was entranced by it.
