Episode Three: Beneath the Deep

*Kylie brightens*

<Oh yeah! Do you know a way.>
===
*Biyomon kind of shrugs, then stares off into the distance*

Taiyo: "I don't know. What's the first thing that comes to mind?"

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

Sorcerymon shakes its head.

Sorcerymon: "I do not. If the petrification was not reversed when Cockatorimon was slain then it is likely permanent. Or it may be reversed when the Digital World is reformatted, assuming you defeat Millenniummon."

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

Azuma: "They're taking an awfully long time."

Kylie:<Then we'll have to do just that!>
===
Cameron:<Maybe they're having trouble finding a stream.>

R"Hm...well, if you don't need anything, then I guess we should get some of this water, & be off."
===================================
*Aroma shrugs.*

And so Taiyo snaps a photo of Aroma shrugging then shows it to her.

Taiyo: "It's pretty cute."

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

Sorcerymon: "What I need may be beyond your abilities."

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

Azuma: "Or something's eating them."

*Aroma blushes.*

A"Oh...thanks...."

E"Personally, I would have preferred something like this."

*She spreads her legs slightly, puts her fists on her hips, & stares out at the sea stoically.*
===============================
R"What is it? Spit it out?"

Kylie:<We'll do our best to help you!>
===
Cameron:<It they don't come back in five minutes, I'll go looking for them.>

Taiyo takes a photo of Euryale from the front then another from the side to capture her and the ocean.

Taiyo: "I'd have um...Can you take one of me?"

She holds the camera out to Aroma.

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

Sorcerymon: "It is beyond your abilities. The sanctuary I call home has been sealed off by powerful magics. Only one being could unseal the sanctuary, but they disappeared some time ago."

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

Azuma: "Because we don't have a method of communication with them."

*Cameron messages Kylie*

Everything alright?
===
Lunamon:<What's their name?>

*Kylie responds back*

Yup.

A"Sure."

*Aroma takes the camera.*

Taiyo strikes a pose, raising her hands like claws and making a face like she's growling.

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

Sorcerymon: "Wisemon."

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

Azuma: "All is well. For them at least."

*Aroma looks faintly frightened.*
=========================
R"Well, if we see him, we'll tell him you called."

*He starts filling canteens.*

*Kylie nods and they both help Roatha*

Eve:<Thank you for all the information.>
===
Biyomon:<What if it's not really them?>

Taiyo tilts her head looking confused and even less menacing, waiting for Aroma to take the picture.

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

Sorcerymon: "You're welcome."

And so Sorcerymon resumes whatever it was doing by the lake. Staring at it, contemplatively.

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

Azuma: "Who or what else could it be then? Not much of what we've encounter comes off as that intelligent."

R"Well...later, then."
============================
*Aroma eventually regains her composure & snaps the picture. She then notices her finger in front of the lens & takes another one.*

Bioyomon:<An intelligent digimon.>
===
Eve:<Yeah, thanks for the information.>

Taiyo then wraps her arms around Euryale's waist.

Taiyo: "Now one with me and Euryale."

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

Sorcerymon nods as they depart.

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

Azuma: "Not entirely what we've encountered. At least those with malicious intent."

*Euryale puts a hand on Taiyo's back, waving with her free hand. Aroma purses her lips & takes the shot.*
================================
*Nearby, assholes return.*

*That they do*
===
Cameron:<I'm sure they exist though.>

Taiyo kisses Euryale on the cheek.

Taiyo: "I should probably get pictures of the others too."

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

Azuma: "Most likely, yes. How was the search?"

E"Sounds like a plan. How many pictures can you take, anyway?"
=========================
R"We found water. And a nice Wizardmon lookalike named Sorcerymon."

Eve:<Sorcerymon gave us a lot of information, like confirming there was another group of humans here.>

Taiyo: "Should be a few hundred. I'm not sure how many other pictures are on the memory card. And I guess it depends on how long the batteries last."

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

Azuma: "I suppose that's interesting in a history lesson kind of way. I imagine no one asked about our current situation such as crossing the ocean or the Marine Devil as that clam had called it."

Eve:<No, we didn't, but information on him isn't exactly hard to come by.>

R"I don't know how exactly he was supposed to help with that. If you wanted to ask anyway, you should have come."
==============================
E"I see."
