Old Ones Return

E"I guess they don't keep it up. There are a lot of other places where kids can have playgrounds."

*On the D-Power, the signals are beginning to move around them beyond the trees.*

Kylie:<Shall we go say hello or...?>

Salamon: "If they're not coming to greet us."

*Sure enough, the arrows do start moving inwards.*

*Kylie remains standing, staring into the trees, waiting for the tamers arrive*

Salamon lowers herself, ready to attack. If she weren't small and hard to take seriously it might be frightful.

*The first attack is a surprise attack, with blue flames shooting into Salamon's back. One of the other Digimon takes advantage of Agumon's reflexive look in her direction & a mushroom with a sneering face & a fuse coming out of it hits him in the head. The fuse burns down a few moments later, detonating it & causing Agumon to fall down, a chunk of his head exposing grid lines.*

"Agumon!"

*Euryale races over to him & reaches for her D-Power before remembering that it's broken.*

Salamon: "Ow..."

Salamon spins around letting off a Puppy Howling. Hitomi checks her D-Power for where the signals are to their position.

=====================================

Renamon: "You really should go see them. If they're attacked they'd be at a disadvantage. Didn't you say you should all be a team?"

Taiyo: "Yeah."

Renamon: "Can you call yourself apart of that team if you run away whenever something bad happens?"

Taiyo: "No. I guess tha-"

Renamon: "Then what should you do?"

Taiyo: "Go out there?"

Renamon: "Yes."

Taiyo: "Right."

Taiyo gets out of bed and begins to get dressed while Renamon makes her way out the window and to the park, Taiyo going there herself once dressed, D-Power and cards in tow.

*Lunamon uses Tear Shot in the direction of the Digimon who attacked Agumon. Kylie takes out he D-Power and cards*

*It sails through the trees, but the resulting explosion forces out a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] & a girl wearing cameo with tied-back, black hair. From behind Lunamon, a big white statue of a gargoyle comes crashing through the bushes towards her, as if it was thrown with extreme force.*
=======================================
*Some time later, Renamon has reached the park gates.*

*Lunamon runs out of the way*

Hitomi swipes the Cocytus Breath card through her D-Power which Salamon unleashes at Mushroomon.

Taiyo eventually catches up with Renamon.

Taiyo: "Are they here?"

Renamon: "Not in this area, but they could be elsewhere."

Taiyo takes a look at her D-Power and they head further in.

*The Tamer holds 2 cards in her hand so that when she swipes one, she swipes the other soon after. The Mushroomon is saved by an Alias. As it's running towards Salamon, a white light in its hand forms into a Vulcan's Hammer. Meanwhile, the blue fire streaks towards Salamon's side from the forest again. Euryale grabs Agumon & rolls out of the way of the statue, which carves a thick trench into the ground & demolishes the slide. Left with no other way to heal, Agumon surrounds himself in an orange aura & begins to expand.*
=======================================
*As Taiyo is running through the park, she spies a boy with black, tied-back hair wearing cameo & a Gargoylemon peering through the trees near other Tamer readings.*

Salamon jumps back and away from Mushroomon, Hitomi swiping the Digivolution card. When the egg disappears, Gatomon lunges at Mushroomon, claws out for a Lightning Paw.

Taiyo: "Do you think it's an enemy? He has a strange, scary looking Digimon with him."

Taiyo looks around when she gets no response to see Renamon is out of sight. With no other option, Taiyo cautiously approaches the person.

Taiyo: "Hello...?"

*Kylie scans Aero Wing and Lunamon leaps into the air, and then uses Aero Wing in the direction other statue came from*

<Get out of here, little girl.>

*Soon after he says that, a blast of wind comes blowing through, slicing up the trees & bushes around him & Taiyo.*
----------------------------------------------------------------
*Greymon peers through the trees he now dwarfs.*

Greymon<Euryale, Gabumon, 2 o'clock!>

"Got it!"

*Euryale runs off into the forest. Meanwhile, Mushroomon scatters all of his bombs around him. The tamer observes the situation, pulling out another card.*

Taiyo: I'm not a little girl...

Taiyo: "Is that your partner?"

Taiyo points at the totally inconspicuous Gargoylemon.

Gatomon: "Cat's Eye Hypnotism!"

*Lunamon uses Tear Shot on Mushroommon*

*The Tamer stares blankly at Taiyo.*

[Is she stupid?]

<Go help Mushroomon.>

*The Gargoylemon nods & flies towards Lunamon. After Mushroomon is blindsided by a Tear Shot, its Tamer makes the decision to Digivolve it.*
---------------------------------------------------------
*Euryale jumps up, grabbing a low hanging branch, & swings, dropkicking the Gabumon in the face. When he hits the ground, she rolls off of him, & aims a punch at the stunned Tamer, who looks just like the one Taiyo's dealing with. He's caught in the stomach & falls to the ground. When Gabumon gets up, he feels that Euryale's attack has hit him with enough force to leave thin gridwork gashes on his cheeks & forehead.*

*Kylie digvolves Lunamon to Lekismon, who then uses Tear Arrow on Gargoylemon*

Renamon emerges from her hiding spot, pursuing Gargoylemon. Taiyo follows after Renamon.

Gatomon lashes out at Mushroomon with a Lightning Paw.

*The Mushroomon is now a Woodmon with a big honkin' hammer, so he parries Gatomon's attack with it, then shoots his fingers into her. The Gargoylemon strafes to the side to avoid the arrow. It then briefly turns into polished marble & sheds this coat, hurling it at Lekismon. Its Tamer swipes Snimon's Twin Sickles.*
====================================
*While Euryale successfully knocks the Tamer to the ground, she is stabbed in the side by an angry Gabumon. She gasps & punches it in the face, knocking it out, but a blood stain is quickly spreading through her shirt.*

Gatomon exhales a Cocytus Breath at Woodmon, closing in to attack with her claws.

Taiyo swipes the Aero Wing card through D-Power, Renamon attacking Gargoylemon with it.

*Lekismon leaps into the air and uses Aero Wing again*

*An Arrow Wing from each side proves pretty much impossible for Gargoylemon to dodge, so it falls to the ground, both wings shredded & scars over its body. His Tamer quickly swipes a card & a thick layer of rocks appears over Gargoylemon's body, just in time to be hit with Greymon's tail & knocked into a tree. Nearby, Gatomon blows a large chunk of Woodmon away, but still has roots jammed in her, so she's not going anywhere any time soon. The roots begin to pulse & Gatomon starts to feel weaker as the wood slowly regrows over the data.*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Euryale starts to stagger back into the clearing, but doesn't get far before the Tamer gets back up & clonks her in the back of the head with the D-Power. From the ground, she kicks upward into his stomach, wincing.*
