Old Ones Return (IV)

*Crescemon jumps up and slashes at the Airdramon with her blade-thing*
---
*Kotemon shrugs*
===
<Oh my. Lyra has been carrying around a weird stuffed animal...>
===
Lyra:<Oh yeah, I wanted to find out what was going on.>

Angewomon attracks the Airdramon with Heaven's Charm while MagnaAngemon takes after Senthose, blasting him with Soul Banisher.

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

Hideki: "Just passing by."

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

Monodramon goes off to find its partner.

*Kotemon follows Monodramon*

<That's probably it. Could you show it to me?>
========================
*Airdramon is destroyed & Senthose topples over a small tree, spitting out blood as he pulls himself to his feet. At this moment, he looks down & notices the live bomb.*

Senthose<...God damn it.>

*He crumples when the fireball hits him, & does not get back up. When the dust clears, he's lying contorted in a very unnatural position, portions of his body have been completely blackened, & he's still slightly on fire in a few places. Thiera stares at him in shock. Looking sick to her stomach, she sits down. Euryale just grimaces slightly & turns to her when she speaks.*

T"When...when is he going to...well...turn into little lights...?"

E"Well...I guess that only applies to Digimon...."
==================================
Kurata<I see...in that case, we have no further questions. You're free to go.>
==================================
*After some aimless wandering, they find themselves in the park by the river, where they spy Tsune walking up the river, also aimlessly wandering.*

*Lyra's mother nods*

<It was in her room last time I checked on her.>

*She presumably leads the officer up to Lyra's room, and looks around*

<It's gone...>
===
*Kotemon runs over to Tsune, tugging on her sleeve*
===
Lyra:<Sweet.>

*She stands up, then looks to Hideki*
---
*Crescemon heads over to Kylie, regressing to Lunamon*

Lunamon:<Kylie?>

*Kylie blinks several times*

<H-here.>

Taiyo looks away, grossed out.

Azuma: "MagnaAngemon, make sure he's dead."

MagnaAngemon looks as confused as mostly covered face can show before nodding and lopping the head off the crispy Senthose.

Hitomi: "Was that necessary?"

Azuma: "After all the abuse he took before? Yes."

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

Hideki shrugs and prepares to leave.

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

Monodramon does nothing close to what Kotemon did.

OOC: This is fucking stupid.

*That doesn't happen because Euryale strides forward & grabs MagnaAngemon's hand.*

E"He's obviously dead. Cutting up a corpse for no reason is something that not even an animal does. You shouldn't debase yourself like that just because your partner is acting foolish."

*With that, she glares at Azuma.*

E"Do you really think that anyone here wants to see something like that? Did you even think at all? Now, you heard what he said, more troops could be arriving at any moment. We don't have time for you to act all loose cannon."
================================
*Tsune looks back at Kotemon. Now that he's closer, he can see something moving below the surface of the river.*

"What?"
=================================
*Not far outside of the interrogation room is a map. They're on the first floor, not too far from the lobby.*
=================================
<That's not good...do you mind if we search your property?>

*Kotemon points at the river, where something is moving, then looks up at Tsune*
===
<No please, go ahead.>
===
*Lyra turns to Hideki*

<Do we...know each other?>
===
*Cameron helps Kylie sit up*

Kylie:<What happened?>

Cameron:<Really long story.>

*He looks over at Biyomon, seeing if he's woken up yet*

Renamon: "Do not lower yourself to their level."

Renamon looks to both Azuma & MagnaAngemon.

Renamon: "Either of you."

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

Hideki: "Not likely."

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

Monodramon stares at the thing in the water.

*Tsune looks at Gomamon sticking his head out of the water, then turns back to Kotemon, looking annoyed.*

"...What?"
==========================
E"Long story, we'll talk while we walk."

*Euryale slashes the armor card to get rid of it, then starts walking. She grabs the wrist she used to stop MagnaAngemon, or more specifically, the burn on it. Biyomon is indeed waking up.*

E"Ach...I'm really feeling this now."
==============================
*He gets on his phone.*

<We got a runner. I'll need 2 of you to come in here, & the rest to look over the grounds. Unfortunately, it's probably moved into the city, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Ryuga, report this to Commander Kurata.>

Taiyo: "What's wrong?"

*Kotemon stares at Tsune, then says something for the first time, in a very quiet voice*

<(Hypnos took our partners.)>
===
<R-right...>
===
*Lyra's mother sits there, looking very worried*
---
*Cameron picks up Biyomon, while Lunamon digivolves to Lekismon to carry Kylie*

Cameron:<Biyomon?>

*Biyomon blinks, but doesn't do anything more*

*Tsune frowns.*

Ts"Well, what do you want me to do about it?"
=====================
E"It's the burns from VenomMyotismon's attack."
=====================
*After a search, they find nothing.*

1<I'm afraid it must have gotten into the city.>

*He turns to another agent.*

1<What were the Commander's orders, in that eventuality?>

2<We're to fan out & search for Wild One signals, deleting those we find. If any are too big for us to delete, we are to establish a perimeter & request a Yuggoth intervention.>

<(Help us find them. Please.)>
---
Kylie:<Who?>

Cameron:<Senthose. Can ether one of you heal her?>

*He gestures at the angels*

MagnaAngemon sets to healing Kylie.

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

Hideki begins to leave.

Ts"And how am I supposed to do that?"
====================
*Nobody stops him.*
====================
*As they round the mountain, the ruins become more numerous. A dilapidated castle can be seen towering between the peaks. The sky above it is a swirl of blue, gold, & pink.*

A<Think we could take refuge there, & drive off the soldiers?>

E"I don't know. We'd have a lot to fight against. Maybe if we had some way to signal the Leomon?"

*She grasps her arms tightly. The corners of her eyes tear up & she bites her lip. Meanwhile, Thiera lags behind the group, staring at the ground. DemiDevimon is asleep in her arms.*
