Well, if Isaac thought that this would help for drama, Maia was certainly going to be supportive! Any progress was a good sign! She couldn't wait to see what type of plays he would get into, Digital or not.
The Rookie let out a huff, letting out a little, "nom!" Kuu had lightly chomped onto Isaac's tail, clearly not intended in a painful manner, and used it to properly upright himself. Stupid puns.
"But you gotta do it when I'm here?" When wasn't Kuu with Maia, though? That was just a silly thought! The fox tried to take showers with her! His tamer had absolutely no alone time, as long as he had a say in it!
It was kind of a shame that Isaac was a giant snake monster right now! It wasn't like that comment had gone unheard, even if the girl was busy stifling laughter. If he were in human form, she'd have probably given him a hug. Instead, she pressed her middle and ring finger into her palm, while leaving the remaining fingers extended, in a sign that represented three letters simultaneously. 'I.L.Y.' While, normally, that might be embarrassing, who around here would even notice it? Maybe, holidays were getting to Maia, too!
Amber eyes shifted to Marshal, when attention was drawn to Isaac, dropping her hand rapidly. Had he never met a Spirit User? She had really expected him to know about everything by now! After all, Marshal knew about armor evolutions before Maia had. Maybe it was just jumping the gun to assume he had learned more than her, in less time.
But, now there was some sort of commotion, which had drawn the attention of the tamer and her partner. Kuu was quick to scurry from Isaac, back to Maia at this point, trying to get a good view of everything. But, oh, what was that smell? Sensitive nose scrunched, as the rookie looked around. "Isaac! Do you smell worse than usual? This is bad! You need to learn showers! Or lakes! Something! Soon!" Stop blaming Isaac for bad smells, Kuu! It's rude!

All conversation that was going to take place ceased when Mephistomon burst into the village. Coronamon immediately got in between Marshal and this new enemy. "What's going on here?" he demanded.
Meanwhile, Marshal instinctively grabbed his Digivice and the blue card to prepare Coronamon for a fight. At the moment, it didn't seem overtly necessary, but it didn't hurt to be a little prepared! While he was preparing, Marshal stole a glance at Elecmon, who was already back in his hut. For the guardian of the Village of Beginnings, he didn't seem to be phased by the fact that a fight was about to break out.

"W-well, you clearly aren't st-st-struggling with Japanese th-that much if you can understand m-m-me," Tadashi snorts at Elliot's remark, "Oh, uh, m-me? Oh, you know. Just...the...t-t-trying to make peop--"
Oh thank [INSERT APPROPRIATE DEITY HERE]. A distraction in the form of a giant goat and a dinosaur! The Digital World really is the best place to have conversations. As the two newcomers begin to 'talk', Duskmon steps in front of Tadashi, jagged red blades extending from his skull-like hands. Can't be too careful. Both of these two seem dangerous. One's overly aggressive, the other one reminds him of those awful zombie movies Tadashi's so fond of. Mercurymon is blessedly quiet, observing the proceedings from nearby in a somewhat disinterested manner. Flamemon, on the other hand, takes a few steps towards Dinohyumon and Mephistomon, bellowing at the top of his tiny lungs, "WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR FRAGGIN' ARGUMENT SOMEWHERE ELSE? THIS IS A NURSERY, NOT A PLAYGROUND. DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE AND KICK YOUR BUTTS BACK TO THE ANALOGUE AGE." Tadashi facepalms, "Inside voice. I-inside voice," Oh wait. That was Flamemon's inside voice. The General pulls out his Xros Loader and holds it loosely at his side hoping, much like Marshal is, that they won't need to use their Digivices today. "F-Flamemon, st-stop picking f-f-f-fights,""They started it!" No.

"Hey, I gotta take my chances when I can get 'em," Isaac said to Kuu, grinning. "I can't save all the bad puns for school, after all. Gotta give Maia room to focus on her schoolwork. Its the school of hard knocks, not the school of hard knock-knocks." Isaac was ridiculous and needed to stop. It didn't help that he continued to be a giant, Ultimate-level snake as he made these puns, meaning if Kuu wanted to hit him out of frustration it would probably be like smashing himself into a concrete wall. Who could ever stop such a beast?
Seemed Maia could. A small blush spread over Orochimon's eight heads as Maia made her sign, and soon the giant beast was engulfed in a sphere of light. Isaac couldn't even wait for the cocoon to finish during his degeneration, however. He practically popped out of the sphere, back to his old human self, to scoop Maia up in a hug. "You too," he said, a dreamy smile on his face. If Kuu was sick of joking Isaac, he was probably even sicker of mushy Isaac!
Elliot's conversation was a lot less romantic, of course. He looked at Tadashi, a bit confused as to his statement. Why would Tadashi ever think he was hard to understand? "Oh! Thanks for the compliment," he chirped, seemingly oblivious to the other boy's self-depreciation. Heck, if anything, Tadashi's stuttering helped match Elliot's own pace of trying to translate the words in his head, and set out the syllables a little bit more clearly. Unfortunately, though, he couldn't hear about the rest of Tadashi's day because of the big fuss being kicked up. The group reacted to it quite strongly, Coronamon almost immediately homing in on Mephistomon and Flamemon trying to get in both of their faces.
Dinohyumon didn't take kindly to that second one. "Watch your tongue, kid," he grumbled. I know this is the nursery! I've been protecting this village since my egg hatched over at the Spartan Training Grounds. I've been guarding it just like my daddy, and my granddaddy, and my grand-granddaddy, and all the other proud warriors to come from my line. So if you think I'm gonna let my ancestors down and let this . . . thing keep poking around in this haven, you've got another thing comin' !" He puffed up his chest proudly, refusing to let Flamon's threats get to him.
Mephistomon seemed more than happy to answer Coronamon's query in the meantime. "Why, everything going on is exactly what you see," he stated, voice impossibly even in tone. "I observed that the caretaker of the village was in a dazed, confused state. He kept muttering something beneath his breath, and was clearly not in a correct state of mind. Shortly thereafter, the guardian of the village saw it fit to attack me."
"Oh, bull! I saw you stalking him through the trees for hours, at least!" Dinoyhumon grit his teeth, leaning in a little bit closer.
"I was merely observing his condition. You see, I am a Digimon of many talents, and saw fit to try and aid him before you began your assault."
Isaac remained with Kuu for the time being, letting this play out. "Hey, I'm a once-a-day shower kind of guy, I'll have you know," Isaac protested, surely for the third time. However, Kuu was right. Something smelt . . . off. "Wait. Are you trying to blame your farts on me? 'Cause that is not cool, Kuu."
So close, Isaac. Yet so, so far.

Kuu tried to listen to Isaac for once. Really, he did. But the puns were triggering his gag reflex! Did Digimon even have those? Well, now Kuu did! That's just to show how awful puns were! "What does school have to do with knocking?" Ugh! Humans were so weird! "Save it for in your head or phone calls when I'm not on her shoulder!" Easier said than done! Again, the fox had to be everywhere his tamer was, and her shoulder was the comfiest place to live!
And, that moment probably took some sort of record for fastest de-evolution. Despite letting out a surprised squeak, the tamer smiled at the hug. Okay, so maybe it was a little unexpected that Isaac was just going to drop the giant-snake form like that!
Especially when there seemed to be some sort of conflict going on. "We should have brought popcorn," the fox mumbled from his tamer's shoulder. He always either wanted in on things like this, or a snack to watch the show!
But, that smell was really turning him off from the idea of food. And, wait, was Isaac trying to blame him for that smell? "Maybe you should shower twice a day," the digimon began, before puffing up, "and don't blame your smell on me! I don't even know what a fart is! Maia! What is it, and how do I make a comeback about them?"
"We're not going to have a conversation about this right now," the tamer hissed at her partner, then looked to Isaac, as if testing if he was going to continue provoking the Kudamon. Don't do it! Maia wasn't about to explain bodily functions to a talking fox with no back legs! Plus, she was trying to figure out what was going on around here!
Sure, it smelled weird, but this was a place full of babies. Sometimes, babies smelled strange. The tamer was more interested in the fact that Elecmon was being mentioned by the stranger. Maybe it was a dead-end, but if something really was wrong, the thought couldn't go ignored. "Do you think we should check on Elecmon?"

Coronamon was extremely nervous around this strange, goat-like Digimon. It was unlike any Digimon he and Marshal had come across in their studies on Digimon. Dinohyumon seemed insistent that this guy was up to no good, but Coronamon wasn't entirely sure who to believe! This other Digimon sure looked like a bad guy, but his voice was...oddly soothing. "Marshal," he said, turning over to his partner, "I'd like a little...insurance, if you don't mind.""Coming right up," Marshal said quietly. He was starting to get nervous. They shouldn't be fighting here! Was a break too much to ask for? With a sigh, he swiped the blue card. "Digi-Modify! Matrix Digivolution, Activate!""Coronamon Matrix Digivolve to...Flaremon!"Flaremon stood in a tension-filled triangle with Dinohyumon and the strange Digimon. "Can someone go check on Elecmon?" he asked to the other assorted humans and Digimon in the immediate vicinity. The Ultimate level Digimon crossed his arms as he stared down the goat Digimon. "Who are you, anyway?"

Tadashi quirks a brow as Marshal makes things potentially worse, if anything. "D-do you really th-think Digivolving is going t-to d-de-escalate the s-s-situation?" He rubs at his forehead. What kind of nonsense is he getting involved in this time? Nothing good, surely. He's more-or-less ignoring Isaac, given their rather unpleasant interactions previously. And fortunately that takes care of this new girl, too, since she seems to be busy with Isaac and her...messed-up ferret. She's probably nice, but there's too much going on right now for him to deal with new people.
"I'll ch-check on Elecmon," Checklecmon? "D-Duskmon, F-Flamemon, Mercurymon, l-l-let's go," Any excuse to avoid Elliot's well-meaning-but-uncomfortable questions. "Uh. Y-you can c-c-come too if you want, E-Elliot," Charming. Flamemon opens his mouth to reply to Dinohyumon's statements (loudly, to boot), but finds himself being dragged away by the scruff of his neck thanks to Mercurymon. "As you command, my lord," Kiss-ass.
And so the unlikely group of adventurers set off across the village, Flamemon eventually getting to his feet and stomping after them with a continuous stream of grumbling. Arriving at Elecmon's little hut, Tadashi turns to Mercurymon, "G-go around the b-b-back will you? Make sure there's n-no back door t-to sneak out of, just in c-case mutton-mon w-was right about Elecmon,". Mercurymon offers a brief bow, "It will be done, my lord," Whatever. The Warrior of Steel moves off around the hut, seeking out the rear.
Giving the others a nod, he knocks on the door, "E-Elecmon? Everything alright in th-there, s-sir?"

Huh, Isaac could have sworn Kuu would've known what a fart was. Then again, if Kuu did know, he'd probably end up going through a phase where fart jokes were the most hilarious things in the universe. Isaac smiled apologetically at Maia, as if realizing the floodgates he'd just opened. Thankfully, he had as little interest in provoking Kuu as Maia did. "Ask Elliot later," he deflected, making sure to remind Elliot to turn that later into a never. Worst case scenario, Elliot could at least try and explain it in a less silly way, right? He was the nerd of the family. Surely he could make farts sound boring.
He broke the hug for Maia's sake, since the two would probably need to have their attention kept on the two bickering Digimon. Maia's suggestion seemed as good as any other, though. "I think that'd be for the best," he said, nodding. "I thought the guy might've just been stressed around this time of year. But with what everyone else is saying, I think it might be a good deal more suspect than that." It didn't help that the smell of sulfur was becoming both increasingly overwhelming and increasingly unmistakable. "And yeah. That sure as hell isn't any of us," he responded, tone apologetic in regards to Kuu. "We're checking this out ASAP."
It seemed Tadashi had the same idea. Elliot nodded as he went to go follow. "Of course," he said, smiling slightly. "I can help too, after all!" That said, his inner neat freak was being hit hard by the horrible odors wafting through the air. He could barely handle it, his nose wrinkling so much it almost looked like it was about to fall off. "Do you guys think everything'll be okay back there? Because there's no way babies smell that bad."
"Whatever it is, I sure as hell don't like it," Isaac muttered. This was the Village of Beginnings! Nothing suspicious should ever be going on around here! He started trying to peer into the hut's windows, but other than a few bright, candle-like spots there was almost nothing that could be seen.
Elecmon didn't even seem to acknowledge Tadashi. If he got closer to the door, he could perhaps hear faint chanting in an all-too-serene voice. If he got even closer, he'd find that the door was barred shut. Thankfully, Mercurymon wouldn't notice any back doors, so any suspicious character's chances of making any escape would be quite slim.
Dinohyumon looked stunned by Coronamon's transformation, taking a brief step back. Mephistomon, on the other hand, looked unimpressed. Then again, the goat's facial expression hadn't moved an iota since it had arrived. In fact, its mouth didn't even seem to move when it spoke! "I am but a humble courier. A messenger, of sorts," Mephistomon said. "Who saw fit to try and make a little difference where I could. It is only right that my many talents see use, is it not? Such is the way of the Digital World. We all do what we can, where we can, when we can.
You seem uneased, child. Pray tell, what hangs over your head?"
Dinohyumon said nothing. He simply clutched his tomahawk more closely, watching Mephistomon with narrowed eyes.
