A Mini Beach Vacation [Reliability Digimental][Invite]

John stood staring at the newly evolved Tylomon. He was frozen momentarily by the sheer amount of wonder he felt. "Tylomon?" he uttered in a low voice. In the moments that followed, the partnered Human examined Casimeir's brand new form while excitement began to overrun his thoughts.

A wide grin made itself present on John's shocked expression. "I don't believe it! This is so cool!" He then looked toward the Seadramon with a new confidence. "Okay. We can do this, Cas!"

The corners of Casimeir's mouth slightly curled into a confident, toothy grin from John's words of praise. "You got it!" On that note, the new Tylomon made a beeline toward the Seadramon who was not as big now compared to Casimeir's new size. Some speed had been built up in the distance he charged before slamming himself into the sea serpent Digimon with all of his might, connecting the blow by utilizing the hardened front of his violet helm. "Torpedo Attack!"

The attack forced both Casimeir and the Seadramon into the sea. But the Tylomon didn't stop there. While the Seadramon recovered from the hard hit, Casimeir swam back around, facing the Seadramon's back while he was submerged in the briny blue. His maw opened up before firing off two torpedoes from within. "Torpedoes away!"

The underwater projectiles homed in on the Seadramon as if he were a battleship from the human world. This time, the Seadramon was too quick to fall for another attack. It spun around to face the oncoming missiles. He twisted and turned in the water while heading straight for Casimeir, narrowly dodging the torpedoes. With Casimeir now within reach, the serpent slammed his massive tail into the tylosaur-like Digimon, causing him to tumble away through the water!

Meanwhile, John ran into the shallow water in hopes that he could watch the battle that unfolded beneath the waves. He gritted his teeth in anticipation, hopelessly watching the water while he attempted to locate the two Digimon. "You've got this, Cas!" He shouted, praying that his partner could hear his voice.

The Elecmon had caught John's attention when he had tugged on his damp shirt. The human looked down at Ban and locked eyes with him, seeing the concern in his big blue eyes. And though John wanted to root for his companion and stay as close as possible, he knew that the Elecmon was correct.

The human was torn between staying out in the water or going back to the safety of the beach. And in all fairness, he was having difficulty making up his mind. After taking a moment to look back out to the water where he had last seen his partner, John reached a decision.

"I appreciate your concern," he admitted, "and you're right. It is dangerous out here. But regardless, it would be hazardous on the beach no matter where we take cover with that Seadramon here. Cas relies on me, and I can't just stand on the sidelines in case he gets hurt and needs me to pull him out of there." At the same time, John knew that he had to be smart about this. An idea then came to him; the pier would be one of the safest places on the beach with so many humans and their Digimon partners gathered there.

"I'll make my way to the pier, then," John stated. "At least that way I can still act if Cas gets in trouble. I'd be a lot closer to him." Coming to this decision, John would begin to run in the direction of the pier, whether the Elecmon would be in tow or not. His heart pumped harder and faster now, both from the exercise and the anxiety he felt from the battle that occurred beneath the waves. 

Casimeir had managed to regain his composure from another massive slam by the Seadramon's tail. With his eyes filled with determination, the Tylosaur  Digimon knew that he had to end this fight quickly. The longer he stalled, the more chance there was for people to get hurt. "I don't know what your deal is, but you picked the wrong day to attack the beach!" Casimeir quickly swam down toward the depths while the Seadramon floated in place. He wasn't sure what his foe had in mind, but it looked like he was swimming away to escape. 

In reality, Casmieir aimed to get some distance between himself and the rampaging sea serpent. Once far enough, he turned himself back around and proceeded to push himself as hard as he could like a dagger through the water. There the Seadramon was, waiting for him close to the water's surface. In truth, this was the same way that the Megalodons of old attacked the whales in ancient times; by striking them from below. 

By now, John had made it to the middle of the pier and watched in waiting with the rest of the crowd. "Come on, Cas," he breathed. "You have this in the bag!" His eyes scanned the water, desperately trying to locate his best friend and the Seadramon. He could almost make out the serpent Digimon in the crystal clear water, but Casimeir was nowhere to be found. Part of him wanted to just jump into the water and take on that sea snake on his own, but that would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

Casimeir was gaining speed, now. Within moments, the Seadramon would be within his reach. It would hopefully be his final attack. "Have a taste of your own medicine! Heavy Anchor!" Having amplified his momentum, the Tylomon crashed his appendage into his opponent; effectively launching him out of the water! Defeated, the Seadramon cried out in anguish as his great body collapsed back into the briny deep before slithering off to lick its wounds.

John's eyes lit up with glee. He beamed, overjoyed that Casimeir was victorious. WIthin moments, the Tylomon surfaced and remained still to respite after the battle. His eyes peered toward the pier where he saw a crowd cheering him on! But among them, he spotted an overly-excited John bouncing with joy "Alright, Cas!" John effused. "You did it! And you're so freaking cool!"

The partnered Human's words of praise caused the water Digimon to smile. "You mean we did it, John!" he shot back. "I would have had more trouble fighting Seadramon as a Greymon. If it weren't for your reliability, I wouldn't have Armor Digivolved into Tylomon."

John's smile just didn't want to go away, and it was likely to stay for a while yet. "What do you say, Cas? Do you wanna continue having our fun day at the beach?"

Casimeir smirked. "Don't have to ask me twice! I still have plenty of energy left!"

John took that as an invitation to join his friend in the water. He hopped up onto the wooden railing, the rising and falling water inviting him like a waving hand. The human didn't even care that he was so high! "Here I come!" With a bend in his knees to prepare a jump, John leaped forward and cupped his hands ahead of him to form a streamlined shape for his dive. There was hardly a splash when he pierced the water. The friction slowed him down as he maneuvered himself to glide forward and upward again to the surface. Now treading water close to his friend, John comically spat some of the salty water from his mouth. "How fast can you swim, now?" he inquired, genuinely curious.

A fun idea crossed Casimeir's mind. "Well, I'm not sure," he admitted. "But how about you climb on my back, and we can find out?"
