Old Ones Return (II)

E"I guess it's no use to us, or the Digital World, if they do."

T"But using it would be illegal. I don't think that's such a good idea."

Kylie:<We may have no choice, if Senthose shows up again.>

Azuma: "It's useful as long as we're in the Digital World. We'd just have to make it count if you do have to make use of it."

E"Let's just focus on the mission at hand."

*A giant shadow swoops overhead.*

E"...Before we wind up on the menu."

Biyomon:<Good plan.>

*Biyomon looks for a way for those who can not fly to get off the plateau*

Azuma: "It's certainly nice enough. Being Champion-level they shouldn't have too many predators. Except for what flew overhead. Isolated, so hopefully not a whole lot of outsiders can come about."

*Euryale, Thiera, & their partners are also around.*

T"But like I said, it doesn't look like there are a lot of ways to get around."

A<This looks like a job for-->

*Agumon quickly becomes encased in his Digivolution barrier, & emerges as a bigass dinosaur. Euryale folds her arms & watches, looking up as he grows.*

A<Greymon!>

E"That was kind of hokey. And I don't follow."

A<I can jump to the other mountains, with you on my back.>

E"You just wanted to Digivolve now that you finally had some room, didn't you?>

A<NO! Oh wait...yeah, I did. But my point remains valid!>

Azuma: "Why not fly? Safer and much more believable."

*Biyomon digivolves to Saberdramon, and takes to the air*

Lunamon:<Good plan!>

*Lunamon digivolves to Lekismon, and then Kylie uses Hyper Wing*

*Euryale also slashes Hyper Wing as Greymon mumbles. Euryale looks at Thiera expectantly. She steps back.*

T"Wizardmon can't carry me like that."

E"Well, then, why don't you & Devimon ride with me?"

T"I don't know...."

Saberdramon:<I'll give you a lift! It'll be no problem at all.>

*Lekismon picks up Kylie*

And both Renamon and Patamon Digivolve. Taiyo swipes the Aero Wing card, so Kyubimon can fly.

Azuma: "All settled."

T"...I still don't really feel comfortable with it. I'll...stay here, & keep watch."

Azuma: "Watch for what? That thing that flew overhead?"

Cameron:<Do you want us to stay with you?>

T"No! I'll...I'll be fine...."

D<...There's always the chance that those army surplus freaks might show up.>

Azuma: "All the better to not stick around."

Cameron:<At least not alone.>

D<We're FINE, alright? I can easily protect us with my magic. Worry about yourselves.>

Saberdramon:<Fine. Watch out for Senthose though.>

*He swoops down and picks up Cameron in one of his claws. Lekismon then joins him in the air*

Azuma: "All right, fine."

Taiyo climbs on Kyubimon.

Taiyo: "Are you going with Azuma?"

Hitomi looks back and forth between Taiyo and Azuma.

Azuma: "I'd go with her. I'm not even sure if I should be carried by Angemon. No offence."

Angemon: "None taken. I assure you, it will be a safe albeit not very comfortable flight."

Hitomi climbs on Kyubimon's back, Salamon between the two humans.

*Euryale begins her climb up Greymon's tail.*

E"Fly me up to one of these gears, I want to see what that's all about."

*And so they take off.*

Angemon picks Azuma up and flies to the next peak. Kyubimon does the same.

Taiyo: "How's Sallymon doing?"

Hitomi: "Better. I've been healing her every night for some time."

Hitomi watches as Angemon and Azuma fly by.

Taiyo: "So what do you think of him?"

Hitomi: "What? ...He's all right, I suppose."

Hitomi looks down at whatever may be below.

*Lekismon flies after Greymon, followed by Saberdramon*

*Indeed, if Salamon pokes her stub around, she'll feel that she might be able to pronounce words with some difficulty, & very stunted sounds, due to not being able to move her tongue up to her teeth. Apparently, everyone clusters around the top of the next peak, which has a large gear sticking out of it. Greymon digs into the side with his claws, & uses one claw to push at the gear.*

A<It...moves. Not much, but it's not buried in here.>
