((OOC: No worries. With so many different characters running around clashes like this are bound to happen. Its just natural consequence if one wants to stay true to their character))
So it seemed she'd finally gotten through to him? That would be quite the relief. Maybe he'd start shaping up a bit. "Well you never really le-" Alicia began, pausing as RoyalPikeymon started talking to himself. The Steeldramon's eye twitched irritably. He wasn't paying attention to her ranting? She said all that for nothing?
"Can I say I told you so, yet? Cause I told you so, Alicia." Sol muttered under his breath, sighing. Alicia gritted her teeth and clenched her hands into fists. Enough was enough and she was done with this. Nothing was worth putting up with this insufferable moron. He could've offered her every other treasure they came across, providing Takara hadn't swiped it first, and she would've still not been convinced to stick around after that.
"Not another word out of you, Sol..." Alicia hissed under her breath. Is time to get out of dodge. "Chain Lasher!" Turning away, the Steeldramon flicked one of her chains out and pulled herself back out the way she came, leaving the crowned blob to figure things out for himself. She had no real obligation to continue helping out as it was. Still, she did feel bad about suddenly deciding to leave him to his fate, whatever that was. Oh well...
((OOC: Start skipping my turn in the thread at this point. I'll PM TriedToGetShade to let him know if I'll be making a return.))

Takara passed by every trap sprung by Pikemon with ease. Hagurumon was not so lucky. This was primarily due to Takara counting a trap as avoided, as long as Hagurumon was between him and the pointy end. Case in point- A massive axe dropped from the ceiling behind them, cleaving the hallway in two. Rather than do the sensible thing and hug the walls, Takara simply grabbed Hagurumon to prevent him from doing so. The blow rang out with a clang as the two pieces of metal struck, and the pair was flung at high speeds down the corridor. "Hya-hoooo!" called the eternally excited Takara. "I called it! I called an axe coming up!" Ignoring the fact that when he had called an axe trap, it had been a pit instead.
He didn't bother setting back down on the ground.With a small midair tussle, he pulled Hagurumon into the face-down position, himself on the gear's back- The momentum carried them forward. Hoverboard! Wooo! That's what he was talking about! Takara flew down the hall, over the brand new lava flow, past the spinning saws, and straight through to the treasure room. His laughter boomed throughout the room- Certain to wake any guardian protecting the chamber. "Haha! Now that's what I'm talking about! Treasure ahoy!

RoyalPikeymon only heard the sound of chains behind him when he entered the treasure room. Aliciadramon left for some reason that RoyalPikeymon didn't understand but wouldn't admit to not understanding and therefore let his thoughts continue to flow towards Pikemon, "Pikeymon! I found you! Now that we are both at the treasure room filled with shiny stuff, we can get you're Digimental and help you digivolve! Yeah!"Pikemon noticed his name being pronounced 'Pikeymon' rather than 'Pikemon' and proceeded to advice his brother, "Brother, I'm pronounced Pike-mon, not Pikey-mon." "I know, I know! But you NAME is Pikeymon...forever!"Pikemon sighed and looked towards all the treasure. With all the traps encountered thus far, there must be at least one, massive, super dangerous trap left somewhere. Boldmon and Quietmon seemed to arrive safely within the treasure room, too, not that Pikemon cared. However, Pikemon did notice that Quietmon's body was looking more scratched up than before. "Brother, how should I proceed?"RoyalPikeymon laughed and pronounced, "Swim in the treasure until you digivolve!" Pikemon proceeded to start 'swimming' in the sea of treasure until the room started to shake violently! RoyalPikeymon didn't seem to be phased by the shaking, probably because he was still thinking about Aliciadramon's teeth, "Aliciadramon's teeth look sharp..."
The confused Pikemon looked over to his brother in a daze. That statement was quite out there, even for RoyalPikeymon, "What?" Then the shaking got more ridiculous and a mound started to rise from the sea of treasure within the room. The treasure started to fall from the mound as it grew larger until no treasure was left, only to leave behind an massive digimon clad in gold armor with treasure chests for shoulders and forearms. It wielded two axes and had viking horns sharp enough to pierce anything! The large digimon then presented itself to the four individuals, "I am Olegmon! Guardian of this treasu-""Awesome! Another powerful looking digimon to add to my list of subjects! I will call you-""Shut up! I've had it with you and your nonstop talking! How do you even do it without dehydrating every five minutes!?"Pikemon was scared for his brother and therefore stood in front of RoyalPikeymon in order to protect him, "Stay back! I'm warning you! I may be small, but my spear is sharp!"Olegmon glared at RoyalPikeymon and his stupidly brave brother. He didn't understand how anyone could put up with RoyalPikeymon for more than five minutes. Olegmon then turned his glare towards the other two, Boldmon and Quietmon. The golden armored giant didn't quite like Takara's take on treasure hunting, but sparing some treasure wouldn't be so terrible, "You two! Take what you can carry. I commend your efforts surrounding RoyalPikeymon. Granted, I am not sure that this treasure is able to be converted into what the hip, young folks call 'bits'." Olegmon then turned back to Pikemon, "And YOU! You...may take the Digimental of Loyalty. I commend you the most for standing by that nuisance through even the impossible. Only right that you attain such a Digimental. Just make sure your brother stays as far from here as possible...and then some."Olegmon then scanned the room in search of Alicia but couldn't find her anywhere. He couldn't tell if she left or stayed, "Hey! Shiny pipsqueak! Where's Alicia?" On special note, anyone over ground would likely have also felt the tremors and heard the booming voice of Olegmon. However, with Olegmon being underground, those above ground would likely perceive Olegmon as a giant monster roaring and going berserk.

As if Takara needed an invitation to stuff his pouch with treasure! Hmm. He needed a larger pouch. What a shame. He'd only be able to take a few pieces of gold with him. Meh, good enough! Takara was in this for the adventure! Gold was just a shiny plus, allowing him to fund further adventures! All he had to do was find a buyer for the shiny metal. Hyahaa! Another successful treasure hunt for the Treasure Hunter!
Maybe he'd come back eventually for the rest. Ehh... Nah. Takara laughed heartily, as he was wont to do. "Another great success! Fare thee well, golden man!" What, you expect Takara to remember a name? Not happening! Now then... All that's left is finding the exit!

((OOC: Well seeing this thread go so long without updates tells me TriedToGetShade wants me to show back up. And Alicia was called out by name so...))
Alicia had just gotten top side when the ground started to rumble as if a massive beast was being woken up. Looking back inside, the Steeldramon bit her lip and sighed. "Curse my bleeding heart..." She muttered, whirling around and dashing back in. Thankfully, two trips through already had helped familiarize her with the path she needed to take. Alicia sighed, hurrying down with her chains as fast as her body could carry her.
Slipping into the treasure room was easy enough, and the Steeldramon hung from the ceiling via a chain and dagger. Olegmon being as massive as he was, Alicia was scared of attempting to intervene. Plus there didn't seem to be a fight breaking out like she first anticipated. What's going on?
"Big guy's voice made soundwaves strong enough to shake the area. He was talking to them basically. Also, he called you out. By name." Sol supplied helpfully. Well, that cleared things up.
"Well if someone's going to bother listening in, remembering my name, and calling me out like that, I suppose it'd be poor manners of me to not show up, eh?" She said, announcing her presence as she threaded her chains out, letting her hang now at eye level with Olegmon, swinging back and forth a bit. "If I may ask though, why go to the effort? I'm not really anyone that special."

RoyalPikeymon didn't take kindly to Olegmon giving Pikemon a gift while the regal blob didn't get anything except another reminder of how annoying he is. RoyalPikeymon bounced in front of his brother and demanded a gift as well, "Hey!? Why do I not get a gift!? It is tough to BE me, you know?"
Pikemon was surprised to get a gift at all and wanted to give his to RoyalPikeymon when he started to complain, "Brother, accept this gift as a symbol of my respe-"
Olegmon didn't take kindly to Pikemon's re-gifting to RoyalPikeymon and decided it best to just give RoyalPikeymon something. Otherwise the twins would likely not leave anytime soon, "NO RE-GIFTING! Here, take the Digimental of RESPECT and learn from it! Now leave, RoyalPikeymon!"
RoyalPikeymon was given the Digimental of Respect, but like Pikemon, didn't digivolve just yet. Other measures must be taken in order to actually use the digimentals, as it would seem. However, RoyalPikeymon didn't care now that he also had a gift from Olegmon and simply started to talk as per usual...that is, until Aliciadramon showed up, "Alicia-!"
Pikemon quickly put his hand over his brother's mouth in an attempt to stop him from talking everyone's ears off. At this point, even Pikemon's nerves were wearing thin, "Time to leave, brother!" And with that, RoyalPikeymon and Pikemon simply left the treasure room using the piles of treasure as steps. The Ancient Ruins were fun and all, but the brothers got what they came for.
Olegmon was glad to see RoyalPikeymon gone, but not so much Pikemon. Pikemon seemed far more respectful, or at least weary, or others and therefore deserved his Digimental the most. However, Olegmon didn't care that RoyalPikeymon got a misfit Digimental and simply looked towards Alicia, "Phew...glad the twerp's gone. I don't think my brittle body could have handled much more of his talking. Speaking of which; Alicia, I wanted to commend you for trying to talk some sense into that golden nuisance. You may have failed, but take as much treasure as you can carry. In fact...Takara, Hagurumon, Alicia...take all the treasure. I have no need for it. I'm too old and as I said earlier, my body is too brittle to even carry my own treasure. Do you three wanna hear a story?"
RoyalPikeymon must have rubbed off on Olegmon because the golden giant simply continued to talk and tell his story, "Ah whatever, I'll tell you anyway. I'll try to keep it short; I was once a treasure hunter of epic proportions! I had companions to help me search for the greatest of treasures, but after getting too much treasure, I started going mad with greed. I killed my companions out of paranoia and hid with my treasure within these Ancient Ruins. I set traps to keep others from finding me. However, being cut off from the world means being cut off from supplies. I eventually had to start eating the treasure in order to sustain myself which got me thinking...why not give it away to whomever finds it? Unfortunately, only your groups ever showed up."
Olegmon sighed and ended his short story, unaware if Alicia, Takara, and Hagurumon were even still within listening distance, "Take my greed from me. Take it all." And with that final statement, Olegmon's treasure room started to shake and rumble once more, eventually collapsing in on itself and its master. Olegmon's data was too old to continue to live on, so the treasure room died with him. The Ancient Ruins still stood tall, but that one room would forever be a pile of rubble, with or without treasure.

Did you seriously think Takara would stick around to hear a story? He had the treasure! The rest didn't really matter that much. It was a shame, since it seemed interesting... But he had places to go, people to see! And, of course, a larger pouch to acquire! Seriously, he doubted he'd gotten more than a few hundred bits worth of gold in the tiny one he had now! Such a shame, especially when he could have taken all he could carry! Oh well, there was always another day, another time.
Takara Kureha rides off into the sunset, a treasure hunt accomplished quite successfully. He may not be happy with the day's haul, but eh, he'll survive. But first he needs to sell it for cold, hard, cash! And then use said cash to fund a proper expedition! It's all planned out in the Treasure Hunter's head.
Time will tell if he succeeds.
