Old Ones Return (III)

*Cameron yells down*

<Hello down there?>

*They press on their attacking of Angemon.*
=========================
"We can still climb up there, the traps have to be spent by now."

*Euryale looks back.*

"Did you hear something?"

Lunamon:<Helloooooooooooo?>

*Lunamon yells loud enough that Cameron covers his ears*

Kylie:<Euryale, Taiyo?>

As does Angemon

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

Taiyo: "I think so."

*There are so many of them attacking him that Angemon eventually falls to the ground, battered & with one of his wings bent.*
=================================
*Koromon opens an eye.*

A<Is it just me, or is there also something up ahead?>

"YEAH, WE'RE DOWN HERE! WHAT'S UP?!"

Gatomon jumps out of Hitomi's arms and runs on out, firing Cocytus Breath's up into the swarm.

Angemon stands using his staff to steady himself.

Angemon: "That's a but excessive."

Gatomon ceases with the attack in a continuous stream, resolving to fire short bursts.

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

Taiyo: "Should we go see what it is?"

*Biyomon digivolves and picks up the others, flying down towards the voices*

Lunamon:<It's Lunamon and Kylie!>

Saberdramon:<And us!>

*The Quetzalmon scatter, flying out of the various doorways. Eventually, a crack forms in Gatomon's cannon.*
============================
"Oh, hello."

*Something else flies over head, from the direction they were heading in.*

*Lunamon sees the rumble on the ground and looks nervous*

<Saberdramon, can you land?>

*Saberdramon lands on the rumble, hopefully near Euryale and Taiyo*

Azuma swipes the Training Grips card, hoping to snag a Quetzalmon while the two Digimon revert back to Rookie.

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

Taiyo: "What was that?"

*The closest Quetzalmon falls to the ground, its wings bound in leather bridles. It writhes, hissing & spitting.*
=================================
"I'm not sure."

They slowly approach making sure to stay away from its tail.

Azuma: "Easy, snakey. We just want to talk."

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

Taiyo: "Should we check it out?"

*Lunamon, runs towards the voices, dragging Kylie*

<Guys! We're here!>

*It decides to move like a snake, slithering around to face the group & opening its jaws wide, hissing at them.*
==================================
"Well, someone's gonna have to give me a ride up there, 'cause Agumon can't fly anymore."

Hitomi shrinks back while Azuma tries to stand his ground, his shaking knees giving him away.

Azuma: "Can you speak?"

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

Taiyo: "Kyubimon can."

Lunamon:<Saberdramon can carry all of us!>

*Lunamon looks back to where Saberdramon and Cameron are trying to pick their way across the rumble*

Kylie:<Follow our voices.>

*Euryale glances at all of those people being crazy.*

"I'll just ride with Taiyo, thanks."
================================
*This proves to be a mistake, as it gnashes at him, & even if Azuma manages to get away, he's going to be pumped full of electric current buzzing off of Quetzalmon's jaws.*

Azuma makes an attempt to jump away. Patamon and Salamon attacks with Boom Bubnle and Puppy Howling respectively.

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

Renamon Digivolves and is given Aero Wings, taking flight once everyone is boarded.

*Lunamon drags Kylie back to Saberdramon, who grabs the group and takes off in the direction Kyubimon did, as directed by Lunamon*

*The Quetzalmon yelps & makes another attempt to slither away as Azuma lies paralyzed on the floor. Everyone else eventually flies into this room from another doorway to see what appears to be animal cruelty.*

*Saberdramon lands near Azuma*

Lunamon:<Wait, stop!>

*Lunamon jumps down and heads toward the fight*

<Can we talk?>

Kylie:<Are you trying to take Thiera's advice?>

Hitomi kneels beside him and sits him up.

Azuma: "How tough was that?"

Patamon: "Not very."

*Quetzalmon is still squirming away as the feeling begins to return to Azuma's limbs.*

"...That's not right."

*Kylie slowly heads towards Lunamon, facing Quetzalmon. She smiles at it*

Kylie:<Don't worry, I'm sorry they attacked you.>

*Kylie gestures at Azuma and Hitomi*

Azuma: "He. I woke them up, I directed Angemon to settle them down, or try to, and I bound it."

Azuma struggles to stand, Hitomi holding on to him.

Azuma: "I merely wished to talk. Waking them up was neccessary."
