The forest was a place that Maia had begun to get used to visiting frequently. It was the best place near home for Kudamon to get some exercise without breaking anything or drawing too much attention. Sure, they'd already run into a few people during their visits to the place, but it hadn't been anything that couldn't be handled. After all, just about everyone Maia met had some affiliation with Digimon! It was a little crazy, when she thought about it.
Today, the girl had found a tree that had a nice 'V' low in the trunk, where she could curl up with her sketchbook. Today, there were mostly scribbles of foxes and various ways that she thought her own Digimon could differ, if he were more of a legitimate fox. With that thought, she scribbled a version of the Rookie with back legs. If only she'd known that there actually was a version of him with all four limbs.
Kudamon, on the other hand, didn't care what his tamer was drawing. He bounced back and forth from climbing high into the tree to lunging down on top of her stomach and sketchpad. This time, he'd hit a little hard, causing the girl to let out an "oof!" and dropping her pencil from her hand. Amber eyes shot a glare to the little monster, who only giggled before running back up the bark of the tree. "You could at least pick that up for me," the girl huffed, leaning a little to try to reach the ground with her hand, but her arms just weren't long enough. Why'd she even bother?
"Nope!" the pipe fox popped, as his tail vanished into the leaves above her, making her puff her cheeks at him, before dispelling the air in a huff. Fine. She'd just pick it up later. Carefully adjusting how she was sitting, she worked to get a new pencil out of her bag.
At least today was pretty calm, so far!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Gallatin's rage filled shout filled through the previous quiet forest as he wandered from tree to tree! "WHY DOES EVERY THING IN JAPAN LOOK THE SAME AND GENERIC!" He screamed out in English, at this point to enraged to care about speaking the country's language. It had been one thing getting lost in the city and suburbs, but a forest too in one day was ridiculous! "Is there any biome that Shibuya DOESN'T have?!?!" He once again screamed out to the seemingly empty forest. Scaring a few birds away in the process.
Finally, he had just had enough with walking and just plopped himself down next to a tree. He pulled out his cell phone to try and call his mother to find and pick him up, but he could not even get a signal this time. All spent of anger, he just let out a disappointing sigh. "Figures, I can't catch a break here." Gallatin muttered to himself with a tone of defeat, still in English. "Normally in an Anime, If the main character gets lost like this, he either finds a magic items shop or some angel girl falls out of the sky onto him..." He waited for a second and listened to the sounds of the woods, looking left and right. "Yeeeaaah, I really need to get out more if I'm applying Anime logic to real life."
With that, Gallatin pulled his phone back out of his pocket and was about to start playing his V-PET app on it when he heard a sound.
CRACK
He looked around to see what had made the noise, but couldn't see anything around that could have made the sound. "Meh, probably just a deer or something stepping on a stick." He dismissed to himself in his head. He once again went back to his phone and even pulled out his earbuds to use before the sound uttered again, this time even louder.
CRACK!
At this, he jumped up from his sitting position and started circling the tree looking for the noise. "Is anybody out there?" He once again found nothing though. "Ok... I must be going crazy. What could have possibly... made... that..." He never finshed as he felt a wood splint land in his hair. swiping it off of his head, he looked up...
"I hate anime logic." He uttered out in exaustion before blacking out as something heavy fell on top of him.

Maia had gotten comfortable again, when she started hearing a voice in the area. Oh, great, there goes another quiet day. She'd gotten lucky the past few times with her company, but how long would that luck hold up? The girl made a quick motion to the branches, as Kuu poked his head down from the leaves, making him jerk back into the more leafy branches of the tree. That didn't, however, stop him from running around on them, like a child hopped up on sugar.
The first crack didn't cause too much concern for Maia, figuring that branches were noisy, as was. The blonde pretended not to notice as the voice grew closer, and was soon at the tree. If she didn't see him, he wouldn't see her, right? Bad logic, but she could be hopeful, right? Somehow, he'd seemed to not notice her yet, so she went back to her sketches.
However, the next crack made the girl jerk, as Kuu was riding a branch from the sky. Why did this kind of thing always have to happen?! Especially when it fell on top of an unsuspecting victim, knocking him out. "Oops," the rookie stated, blandly, "I think I broke a person, Maia."
A string of profanities became the only prevalent thought in the girl's mind, as she scrambled to get out of the tree. This was an obnoxious task, as she really didn't want to fall and get hurt, too. Once on the ground, she pointed up at the leaves again, "get back up there," she hissed, as the monster looked between her and the boy on the ground.
"But..." Kudamon began to protest, but could see the clear concern on his tamer's face. Quickly, the alien leapt onto the tree trunk, and scurried up into the branches again.
Now, she was kneeling next to the stranger. He was a new face, that was for sure. But, that wasn't necessarily a good thing, considering her Digimon had potentially seriously hurt the guy! Still, she moved the branch away from him, before sticking a finger out, to try to tap his shoulder. Was he unconscious, or just dazed? "Hey," she started, hoping that he wasn't going to be out for too long, "hey, can you hear me?"

"Uuuugh. I'll be up in a sec mom..." Gallatin slurred out in English, waking from his daze while his eyes were still shut. He was groggy and his head hurt... alot... He turned over, thinking he was still at home in bed when the sun light filtered through the thick tree leaves and hit his face. That and the repeated tapping on his shoulders finally made him come to. As he turned over once more to look upwards, he saw some kind of figure leaning over him. "Wuh?... Wha-at..." His eyes slowly focused as the face of a stunningly beautiful girl suddenly became clearer over him as he looked longer.
... ... ...
His eyes now fully open and focused, widened with panic and uncertainty. As he often did in any situation involving girls and social contact, he froze up. A million thoughts raced through his head at once. "Wow she's pretty. Wait what am i thinking? Who is she? Why am i on the ground? Why is she leaning over me? Did I finally get laid?! No, Stay focused! Don't panic. Oh god i'm still staring at her aren't I. Say something you idiot! Damn it, why is there a girl like this in the middle of now here?! This is why i prefer watching the other people in this situation in shows! Not me! YOUR STILL STARING! SAY SOMETHING!" Sadly, all he could let out was a soft squeak from his throat as he was frozen solid staring at the very attractive girl giving her entire attention to him. If he was a turtle, now would be the time that he would retract into his shell.

Well, at least the stranger said something. That was a start, right? A good sign that he wasn't dead, at least! Also, since he spoke English, she had to wonder if he knew Japanese at all. Was it better if she spoke in her native tongue? "Ah," she breathed, leaning back after he had actually seemed to be coming around. "I'm so sorry," she started, dropping into English for simplicity's sake. The guy looked freaked out, and she couldn't blame him!
"I, uh, was in the tree," Maia motioned to the mentioned object, trying to think of a good excuse. "I think I moved wrong and broke a branch," to this, she let out a small laugh, clearly expecting a poor reaction to all of this. Could she get charged for assault if she said something like this? After all, it was on accident. And, the stranger really didn't seem mad.
The fact that he had stopped speaking and only squeaked led her to only be more concerned about the situation. "Okay, please tell me that I didn't break you," she sighed, exasperated already. Did Kuu accidentally give the boy brain damage? This was a law suit waiting to happen! Then again, it was also the quiet kid's fault for walking under trees, right? It seemed like these things always happened to her! The teen swore that this country had somehow cursed her, entirely. Ever since she'd gotten a Digimon, life was just getting more and more difficult!
Why couldn't Kudamon have fallen on a deer or something, instead? At least they wouldn't care if the alien took the blame for it! Deer also couldn't tell the police about crazy monsters falling from the sky, though, so it would have been ideal.

It seemed like an hour passed before Gallatin snapped out of his fear freeze as he noticed a white blur in the corner of his eye. He looked up to see a some kind of white fox...thing, in the trees staring at them with what looked to either be a grin or the face his dog used to make when it was hungry... Looking at the white fox-creature, he followed its line of sight right to the girl in front of him. Not taking any chances he leaped forward and and tackled the girl as far away from the tree as possible before they landed in a heap on the ground. "MOVE!" He screamed out, this time remembering to speak Japanese so as to hopefully not confuse the girl into thinking he was molesting her. As soon as they landed on the ground, he scrambled back to a standing position and backed up against a tree breathing very hard.
"Oh my god! I touched a girl! This is awesome!... Wait almost forgot, killer fox thing in the trees." Gallatin thought to himself as he was recovering. Composing himself, as much as he could in such a situation for him, he started picking up rocks and lobbing them at the tree where he saw the creature.
"G-get back! I'm warning you!" He stuttered out as he lobbed rock after rock at the tree, making out a blur of white going from branch to branch.
"H-Hey you. S-s-s-stay away f-f-f-from the t-t-t-t-tree." He stuttered out in what he hoped sounded like a brave voice, his heart beating a mile per second. Girls + Potential Wild Animal Attack = Near Heart Failure for Gallatin. "T-t-t-t-theres some kind of w-w-wild an-n-n animal in it!" He hoped at the girl could make out what he was saying and could get away from danger before the thing in the trees tried to attack.

"Wha--?" Maia was clearly shocked at being moved so suddenly, trying to figure out what was going on. Soon, she'd hit the ground, still unsure of what exactly was happening. Why was the stranger freaking out so suddenly? Trying to follow his line of sight, and where he was throwing rocks, she noticed Kudamon in the tree, very visible. Ah, stupid fox. Kuu didn't seem to mind, though, thinking it was a game!
The Digimon swerved from branch to branch, giggling. This was fun! It was like he was actually training in case something important happened that he needed to move fast! Not that the rocks were particularly fast or lethal. Hopefully, his tamer wouldn't be too mad that he was spotted! At least, aside from the purple markings, he kind of looked like a legitimate animal these days.
The blonde took her time to react, brushing dust off of her clothing, and fixing her hair, before reaching out to touch the stranger's hand, trying to get him to lower the rocks. "Relax," the suggested, before stepping around him and walking toward the tree. "First off, animals don't understand what you're saying," Maia stated, in a soothing tone. This was also a hint to Kudamon to not respond to what the person was saying. For once, he seemed to want to listen to her.
Now, she was at the base of the tree, arms stretching up toward the branch, "second: he's not wild." Well, attempting to cover up the Digimon was a bust. Kuu leaped from his position in the trees to land in Maia's hands, swirling his long body up one of her arms, so that he could rest his paws on her shoulder, the cartridge he held was hanging alongside her arm, where his tail would drift off. "He's my pet," the tamer reached up with one hand to scratch the pipe fox's head, "so, please don't throw things at him."

Gallatin felt like he melted when she touched his arm and told him to stop. His arms fell limp to his side completely useless as the rocks dropped to the ground. He was especially confused when he saw the fox thing crawl onto the girl. "Now would be a greeaat time to ask a question and overcome your morbid fear of girls." He thought to himself. Ok, he could do this. It's just like all of those video-games and dating sims with girls he played on his computer. Just imagine your the main character, and this is just an encounter. Pre-programmed, there are good things to say and bad things.
In his mind, he imagined 2 choice boxes appear in in his view saying what a normal protagonist would say in this situation. He imagined that the top one read "*GO IN FOR A KISS*" and the bottom one say "Oops, sorry. My bad. I guess i panicked there. Please forgive my abrasive and fool-hearty actions of which may have caused your or your obviously beloved pet harm. I hope this will not remove the possibility of a potential friendship, as I find you highly attractive." See, that didn't seem so hard. Now he just had to pick one. Definitely not option 1. Option 1 lead to 15 years in prison for molestation. Option 2 was perfect, there was no way he could mess it up...
"ISorry.You smell nice.ImGallatin..." He squeaked out in an almost inaudible voice, so fast that he stopped speaking within a second.
Ok. That was bad. Really bad. All you had to do was talk! "YOU IDIOT! WHY CANT YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT!" He calmed himself down inside, and noticed he was still staring at the girl... Not wanting to look too scared out of his mind, he attempted to look normal by leaning sticking out his hand sideways and leaning on a tree; then his hand missed the tree and he fell on his face.
"Shit! Ok Casual isn't working! ABANDON MISSION! GRAB YOUR PHONE OR SOMETHING AND GET OUR OF DODGE!" He mentally screamed at himself. Now was probably the last chance to get out of this situation with what little dignity he had left. He reached down to pick up his phone, only to notice the fox thing on the ground now, circling it and prodding it every few seconds.
At this point, Gallatin's soul died inside at how hopeless this situation. With his voice shaking and his body rigid in awkwardness, he shakily pointed a finger at the creature circling and poking his phone on the ground. "M-m-m-m-m-my phone. Thing-g-g-g has... P-p-p-p-lease...?" He spoke out weakly.

Well, he... uh, spoke. She guessed. It wasn't entirely what she expected, but the blonde still cracked a smile. "Thank you?" There was a compliment in there, after all. "I'm Maia," she offered, trying to settle the very awkward looking person. Except, it didn't seem to work, since he was suddenly on the ground.
Maybe he actually had something wrong with him. Especially when he seemed to be hallucinating the Kudamon playing with his phone. Hearing the stuttered request, Maia and Kuu exchanged confused looks. Kuu was still on her shoulder, after all. Maybe that hit to the head had really messed with him. Or the stress was getting to him. Not that she knew what he was stressed over, anyway. If she did, maybe she'd leave him alone. But, probably not.
Finding the boy's actions concerning, Kuu unwound himself from the tamer's arm, bouncing over to the stranger and his phone, before picking it up in his mouth and running back to Maia with it, scrambling up the side of her clothing to sit on her shoulder again, before dropping the item into her hand. "Th-thanks, Kuu, but... this isn't mine," she murmured. Of course, he'll bring her someone else's phone when they want it, but he wouldn't pick up the pencil that he made her drop. That was some great logic, right there. Then again, he was still pretending not to understand what the humans were saying. This was harder than it looked! How did cats pretend not to understand people all day?
Still, Maia didn't move to hand the item back to Gallatin. After all, she had to wonder what he was going to do next. At least she hadn't started going through it, but she couldn't keep any promises if he didn't move to collect the item soon.

Still unsure as for what he could possibly do to get out of this situation, Gallatin watched in dismay as the fox-thing picked up his phone and crawl back onto the girl's shoulder before dropping it into her hand. " Okay... Its ok. I can get through this." He consoled himself. " Now as long as you remembered to lock your phone, she wont see anything embarrassing you have on it... like your collection of dating sim apps and how to talk to girls guides..." He then remembered that he hadn't locked his phone yet before the branch had hit him... which means. " Think fast!" He was going into full on panic mode and talked out of sheer panic. " CAN I HAVE MY PHONE PLEASE!!!" He practically yelled, surprising the girl and even more himself about how he had spoken so loudly and clearly, directly to someone of the opposite sex that wasn't an adult. Gallatin felt powerful now. He was even hyping himself in his head; " Wow! I did it! I can talk to girls! HAH! Take that Dad! Ok... now to ask." " I mean, may I please have my phone back." He said before he took a breath and calmly reached out his hand, and with that took one step forward. Then another one. " Ok. I can do this. 1 step at a time. Right... Left... Right... Left..." He mentally coached himself. Before he knew it, Gallatin was standing literally a little further than arms length away from the girl. She looked as if she was about to hand it to him before a bright light emitted from the smart-phone. It just got brighter and brighter until it looked like it was melting in her hand. Before he knew it, the light dimmed down to reveal that she wasn't even holding something that looked remotely like a phone, but more like a small remote or something. He honestly had no way to describe the device that was present now in place of his prized phone that he nurtured like his own child.

Maia jumped a little when the boy shouted, but seemed relatively unphased. Especially since he corrected himself. She'd dealt with weirder situations, right? Like eggs suddenly appearing in ponds or on doorsteps. This... this was real-world type normal, right? The guy had managed to walk himself mostly over to her, so she held out the phone to offer it to him. But, when she did, it started melting!? What in the world was happening?
And, then light gave way to a digivice. Not one like her own, but like Feli's or Isaac's. "Again?" the girl sounded clearly upset at the alteration of the device, amber eyes widening as she looked from it to it's owner. Why did these things keep happening to her? Did this happen to everyone else that had a digimon, too? "I am," Maia's voice fluctuated in distress, "I am so sorry. I.. I don't know why..." There was never a normal day any more.
"Yes!" the little fox shrieked, clearly thrilled at the turn of events. He didn't have to stay quiet now! Maia didn't appreciate this excitement, considering an expensive device had just essentially been turned into a toy. "You're a Digimon!" Oh, so that's how they were going to break the news to him? This was awful!
The tamer was rapidly shaking her head, pushing the device into the boy's hand. "I swear to you, that was going to happen anyway. I didn't... I didn't break it, alright?" This meant that she probably had a lot of explaining to do to someone who didn't seem alright with talking to her. This entire thing was going to be a huge problem, wasn't it? Why didn't she just stay in the tree and pretend not to notice anything around her?

"Wha. How? My phone...? Heeeeeh?!?!?!" Gallatin got slightly teary eyed when he saw his phone suddenly turn into what looked like a worthless toy. Countless hours spent amassing data, dictionaries, pictures documenting what little social interaction he had ever enjoyed were now seemingly gone. Well, as the only plus, he had no problems conveying how decimated he was feeling right now to the girl. He was about to just plop down on the ground into the fetal position and start crying his eyes out, there's only so much a socially handicapped 16-year old boy can handle before overloading; but then the fox thing suddenly yelled at him... in words...
... ... ...
Gallatin jumped backwards and pointed at the fox wildly. "DEMON FOX! DEMON FOX!" He shouted out. "Wait, if that things a demon... You must be a witch!!!" His mind was trying to find some explanation for what was happening; so the only thing his fiction and Anime infected mind could come up with was a witch and a demon; and he had no qualms with addressing a witch and a monster, they weren't nearly as scary as girls. "Turn my phone back witch! Or I'll burn a cross at you!" He pulled out two pencils that he had in his pocket and held them in the shape of a cross at her. "Begone! And give me back my cellphone!" He yelled at her, apparently not phasing her in the slightest.
Noticing that this wasn't working, and the fact that the "demon" fox was now moving around more excitedly, he decided what was the best thing to do. "Well, this obviously isn't working..." he spoke, mostly to himself. "So, umm. You can keep the thing, heheh... I'll just..."
"Welp, time to cut my losses. The phone is fiiine. I can always get a new one. Now slowly back away and..."
"RUUUN AWAAAAAAY!!!" He yelled out before sprinting in the opposite direction. He had no idea where he was going, but anywhere was fine away from that creepy fox and weird girl that can apparently turn things into toys. "Stay away from me!" Unknowingly though, he was going in the wrong direction and instead was traveling deeper into the forest...
Unnoticed by either parties; a pair of 10 bright red eyes appeared from the thick foliage. But just as quickly as they flashed, they disappeared and a large shape blurred from tree to tree in the direction that Gallatin had ran off too; un benounced to him.

Well, this really went south fast. Sure, Maia understood loving her phone, but this guy looked like he was taking it a little too far. Was he going to cry? On the bright side, she learned a new thing about Spirit digivices, now. It didn't have to be touched by it's owner to turn into a digivice! Not as bright side? It was in Maia's hands when it turned into one. Now, the kid was making crosses at her, while she stared at him with a dull expression. This was getting tiring. Couldn't she just... hit him, or something, to knock some sense into him?
No. That would be legitimate assault.
"Okay, I'm going to ask you something, and try not to get offended," she started, in a voice that was progressing to irritation. "Were you always like this, or did that tree falling on you actually cause some brain damage?" Wow, that was harsh, even for Maia! And, she was used to the internet! She didn't usually nip like that, even online! "I, uh, already have one," she sighed, hearing the boy tell her that she could keep his device. "Seriously, you need to take it with you," she tried to say this clearly, but the other teen was too dense.
Then, off he ran. Maia had no intent on following him, looking down to the device in her hand. "I can't be a tamer and a spirit user, too, can I, Kuu?" This was actually a logical question. It wasn't something that she honestly believed to be true, especially since the monster shook his head, with a, "nu uh." Not that Kudamon truly knew, but it just wasn't logical. Well, that meant that the item was completely useless to her. Maybe, if she put it in a box and left it at the post office, it would magically find it's way to the stranger's house. After all, that's kind of how her Digimon showed up.
If only life were that simple. Kuu suddenly puffed up, wrapping himself around his tamer's neck like a scarf. "Problem, Maia," he growled, "we gotta go after him." "What?" the girl's brows furrowed, trying to figure out why the little monster was suddenly acting so oddly. "I think he made it pretty clear that he doesn't want us to do that."
Still, the digimon seemed tense. Usually, he would just lay limp around her shoulders, but the way he was wrapped, it was almost like he was trying to be some sort of shield. "He needs the digivice. He's gonna break. We gotta," now, the fox sounded pleading. "I didn't break him, Maia. Someone else is gonna break him. A spirit user without their digivice is a duck! A sitting one! Someone's gonna get him." Wait. Was it actually dangerous for him to reject being a spirit user? Kuu sniffed at the air, ears twitching rapidly. "I think something else is here, and I dunno if it's gonna eat him or be his friend. Do you want to find out from the news, like Kai, or do you want to make sure he's safe?"
This sent a chill down the tamer's spine, as she began walking in the direction that Gallatin had run off in. Hopefully, he's run out of breath eventually, because Maia really didn't feel like chasing him. But, Kuu had known where to hit. Kai had been seriously hurt before, and the tamer had wished she could have found a way to help him. Stupid monster, playing on her nerves like that! "Why can't we just let him get eaten?" the teen sighed, putting her empty hand into her pocket, and trying to keep herself settled down. This was kind of tedious, in a way. At least it was a little different from the tamers that she had introduced to the concept of Digimon. But, she could go for a little less excitement.
"You'd feel awful if someone died because they thought you were a witch," the digimon refuted. She couldn't deny that. Even if it was a really stupid thing to have to concern herself with. "Plus, I can keep you both safe when he starts bawling and you don't know what to do! I promised Isaac!" Ugh. The stupid little monster still wasn't going to let her live that one down. At least it made the Rookie seem to feel like he had to be responsible about the situation. But, none of this probably would have happened if he could have just kept quiet.
Frowning, Maia sighed, "you're kind of awful, Kuu," she reminded him, hearing the fox squee! at the comment. Still, tense situation needed to be tense! His tamer walked too slow, and he was just hoping the weird boy would scream or something to make her hurry it up! Instead of what the monster wished for, the girl pulled her phone out, and scrolling through her contacts. To this, the digimon changed from a sound of elation to a groan.
"Maia. Texting slows you down. You need to hurry. We aren't saving anyone if you're on your phone." Why did Kuu have to sound like such a mom sometimes?

Post by Gallatin on Mar 18, 2016 21:48:45 GMT
After running from several minutes, Gallatin nearly tripped to a stop as he ran behind a random tree and sat against it to catch his breath. There was no going back there now. " Doesn't matter. This is the exact reason I don't go outside. Because I'm either getting beaten up behind an alley, made fun of, or CRAZY SHIT LIKE THIS HAPPENS!" He thought to himself, wheezing in and out of breaths as he tried to calm himself down. Asthma really sucks when your trying to run for a long time, even worse in his case because he has been slacking in physical exercise. " He...he...he... At least i'm lost in the forest with no more weird things." With that he finally looked around to see the area of the shrouded forest was so deep that barely any light filtered into it at all. He tried retracing his imprints in the grass to see where he ran from, but they were already fading. " Well this is great... Well at least i'm far away from.. any... mon..sters..." He slowly spoke as he noticed a red light of some kind in one of the trees. It looked to be about the size of a golf ball and was methodically swinging back and forth like a pendulum. Not sure what to make of it, he cautiously tip-toed to it to get a better look. As he got close, the red light was starting to look more and more organic. He could make out what looked like veins on it and... an iris. In his surprise, Gallatin accidentally stepped on a twig and snapped it in half. In a second, 7 more eyes popped up under the first one in rows of 2, shining brightly and glowing intensely. " Shit!" He cursed before stumbling backwards. A large guttural hiss roared out from where the "eyes" were before a large figure tore through the tree branches and crashed into the ground a few feet in front of him. Now that he got a look, those eyes were only a small part of a larger beast. They were in fact on its bottom torso, which seemed to be composed of a spider while the top half of the beast was some sort of demonic looking arachnid woman. She had filthy looking, matted silver hair and horns; not to mention a weird, multicolored human mouth that was drooling very quickly. Maybe there was a chance that the beast hadn't noticed him. Sadly, that idea went out the window quickly as all 10 of its jarringly bizarre spider eyes turned and focused on him. With that the creature let out another growl/hiss and started slowly walking towards him. " OH COME ON! Is this forest just a breeding ground for freaks!?" He yelled in indignation as he started to tiredly run in the opposite direction. " What even is that thing!?" Gallatin knew he wasn't going to get far this time. He was tiring out quickly, his asthma still acting up. At the rate he was constantly stumbling and wheezing, the spider monster would catch him in a matter of seconds. He didn't even want to think about that... Unbeknownst to him, Gallatin's cries had been heard somehow. In Maia's hand, the Digivice suddenly buzzed alive as its screen came on and projected into the air a three dimensional image of the spider monster that was chasing him. " WARNING: THREAT DETECTED! Arachnemon: An Ultimate level Digimon. She is the queen who presides over all Dokugumon, it is an extremely cunning Digimon with great intelligence. It is skilled at transforming into a human-like appearance, getting the opponent to let down their guard so that it can approach and completely devour them. Also, because of its extremely short temper and ferocious personality, many Digimon are afraid of it. It's acid mist will dissolve anything in its path; talk about bad breath." The Digivice read in a description panel under the model as its screen flashed red. Out of nowhere then, a green light beam shined out of the screen and deep into the forest.

Maia didn't really seem to care all that much about her partner's complaints. But, once she finally put away her phone, she did move a little more quickly. It's not like she could run while texting! What if she ran into a tree? Still, this pace was unacceptable to the Rookie, who continued to groan at her.
Sure enough, the sound of a shout caused the tamer to jerk, maybe realizing the severity of the situation. The stranger's digivice began buzzing and lighting up in her hand. Well, that was new. The light, likely directing the girl to the device's owner was also a new, but nice, touch.
Kuu remained tense, a growl forming in his throat. "It's an Ultimate, Maia," he pointed out, partially in distress. Oh no. There was no way Kuu was strong enough for this! He had barely been a rookie, let alone anything higher! They were going to die.
"I'm still hoping it just wants a friend," she huffed, before breaking into a legitimate run. This was just great. Here, Maia just wanted to live a peaceful life. A normal one! Instead, she got more aliens.
Clinging to his friends shoulder, the digimon shook his head. "Not unless friends make good dinner!" That was an awful point. But, why did it have to be a spider? Couldn't it be a caterpillar or a cute bunny, instead? This was just her luck.
"Do not sacrifice yourself over this, understand?" This wasn't negotiable. The digimon maintained eye contact with the blonde for several seconds before nodding. Sure, the Kudamon wanted to be a hero, but Maia wasn't going to let him sacrifice himself over someone stupid.
Finally, the large digimon was in sight. Kuu unwound himself from his post, leaping off after mumbling a serious, "don't look at me. Hide." This didn't sit well with the blonde, but she wasn't going to argue with him in this instance. He knew what he was doing, it seemed. Now, the fox was on the side of a tree, eye level with the threat, and standing in the way of its target. As soon as Maia passed the digimon, the single earring on the monster began sparkling. "Blinding Ray!" Kuu announced, as the light became hopefully too bright to see the humans past.
Taking the Rookie's advice, Maia attempted to grab Gallatin and drag him behind a thick tree. Why was he so out of breath? ...That wasn't important right now! Shoving the boy's Digivice into his hands, the tamer took a small step back. She needed a fast explanation. Oh! "You said something about anime earlier, before Kuu fell on you. Okay. You know, like, superhero and magical girls and stuff? Let's say you are one now. Fancy transformation and all." This was stupid. Why couldn't her pet have just let them go home? Hopefully her horrible explanation would work. "They aren't always given a choice to have powers. You're not given one, either." Welcome to the fastest explanation of Digimon that Maia had ever given! How long would Kuu be able to keep the ultimate at bay?
