Tamers and Digimon go on adventures for all sorts of different reasons. Some seek to help the innocent, while others seek to destroy everything in their path to glory. Dante and Wormmon have been on many adventures since they met. However, new areas of the Digital World are still being discovered, leading to more epic journeys.
Dante, Wormmon, and Kiyoko have traveled to the Digital World to explore an area that has been inaccessible for some time. Kiyoko is concerned about what this discovery means for the Digital World. Dante is wearing one of his leather jackets, black jeans, and a dark red cloak. Kiyoko is wearing an altered version of her red and white priestess robes, modified for embracing the elements. Wormmon rides along on Dante's shoulder, his mind preoccupied by a new video game Dante recently picked up, and not focused on the journey before them. Kiyoko's partner Renamon lays in waiting inside Kiyoko's digivice, ready for action when needed.
"Are we there yet? What are we doing exploring this place anyways? It is just some old ruins." "There is much to learn about Old Terminus. Many believe that the key to a prototype of the Digital World resides here. Either way, I wish to explore the area to determine if there is anything that threatens the balance between worlds." "Blah blah blah, Kiyoko being paranoid and obsessive. What else is new?" "Hold thy tongue, imbecile. This is very important." "I'd rather be at home, playing video games. Let somebody else look after things for once." "What are you complaining for? We've been playing video games and watching movies almost every night for weeks. It's about time we get out and do something." "If you ask me, I say we don't go to the Digital World unless there's pressing matters. Kikyo over here is looking for trouble." "My name is Kiyoko, you just said it a moment ago." "Oh, my bad. I get you two mixed up."
The trio ventures further into the ruins. They pass by several old and worn down buildings. Eventually they reach what appears to be an abandoned lab. The walk inside and examine the area.
"Strange. All these machines, abandoned. What could their purpose have been?" "Maybe someone was trying to make the tastiest ice cream flavor." "Whatever they were doing, it looks like they failed. This whole area looks abandoned. Are you content with our search, Kiyoko?" "Not yet. There has to be something of note here. We know so little about Old Terminus."
Little did the group know, but they were not the only ones who have ventured down to Old Terminus. Soon, answers would be revealed to the eager priestess, but was it better off not knowing? Kiyoko notices a data pad resting on a desk. She walks over and picks it up.
"Interesting. There appears to have been a struggle here. Maybe they had to leave in a hurry and forgot this."
While Kiyoko is examining the data pad, suddenly they hear a loud clinking noise coming from down the hall. The sound of footsteps on the metal floor echoes throughout the lab.
"Someone's coming!" "Wormmon, stay on guard, little buddy." "You got it, Dante. If anyone gives us trouble, I'll drop the hammer on them. I'm the last mon you wanna mess with in a creepy abandoned labradoodle." "Laboratory." "Stop correcting me! I'm insecure about my grammar. It's not like I went to school for language or anything. And why do we always speak English even through we live in-" "Shush!"

Old Terminus.
A place that could potentially have a lot of answers for her and many others; in fact it even served as a home for some of the more bold digimon. She had heard of a few different groups that had made their way down here and done so. She wasn't interested in them particularly and more so was interested in what was down here in general.
But if they posed a problem for her what would she do? Would she fight them and make it known that she didn't suffer fools that made life harder for others? Or would she just brush them off as she had done with several others?These thoughts and more were what the Shutmon was thinking over as she inspected a few different rooms in a building within such a place. So far it hadn't lead her to any clues as to what really would be down here, past more and more rubble or empty homes.
But you honestly had to start somewhere and it was better to focus on the things here than the problems she was plagued with at the moment. Even if they were creeping up on her slowly; but it was the sort of thing she had no control with. It was something she had to have patience with even if the headaches and memories kept cropping up. It made it harder for her to concentrate sure but.. What could you really do.
Her ears perked and she'd look out the second floor window she was currently in to see a familiar face. She blinked a few times and leaned out to look where they were going. The last proper time she had seen the Duo of Dante and his partner Wormmon [self proclaimed worm king if her memory served] they were at her inn. The last time she had seen the latter of the two had been back when some spire had made it problematic for digivolution as well as controlling a digimon to guard it.
She found herself frowning and hopping out of the building's window. Landing lightly on her feet she'd pad after the group wondering quietly what they were doing down here. She saw them go into some form of building, a lab of some kind that she hadn't looked into yet. She'd trot a little bit faster and find herself making a bit more noise than she'd like.
There was no way they didn't hear her with this metal flooring and the Shutmon found herself almost wincing from each step. Her ears flicked as she could hear them talking, followed immediately but what she presumed to be a hushing noise. They knew she was here, she knew they were here and this was ludicrous. Rubbing her temple in annoyance she'd call out to them; hoping even if it had been a good spell of time that they wouldn't of forgotten her. Well it was more likely they wouldn't recognize her in this form and she inwardly cursed her innate feeling of comfort while being a Shutmon.
"I saw you guys come in here, What are you after?"

Katsura was wandering around the old Terminus City, along with Nyao the Minervamon. Having recently fallen into this neglected part of the digital world, Katsura might as well look around. "Sorry" "Don't worry about it." "But-" "I mean it, I'm glad you're okay." Katsura sighed, Nyao was as she has always been, insanely loyal to Katsura. Of course now that Katsura felt genuinely ashamed such niceness was rather annoying actually. Nevertheless, Katsura decided to let it go for now and look forward. This area may be dangerous but a tall valkyrie-like mega digimon with a gigantic sword that could cut through chrome digi-zoid has a presence that keeps many threats at bay to avoid having to deal with her. Fortunately for the duo they soon heard some familiar voices, namely an argument between Kiyoko and Dante. This was however not her favorite duo to ask for help but beggars can't be choosers as you know. As such Katsura followed their voices leading to the back of a lab building. "Nyao, can you get us in?"
Nyao stretched out for a moment as her answer, then she reached for the giant sword on her back. As Nyao pointed her sword towards the sky she got the power of grimskull her sword shined bright illuminated the ruins up. Nyao slashed the walls twice leaving an X shape behind. While the light was dying out, Nyao gave the wall a punch. And thus a large hole arrived leading into room where Dante is. "Thank you, Nyao."

The sound of paw prints walking across the metal floor echoes throughout the room. Not knowing what to expect, Kiyoko holds her Digivice in her hand, ready for her Digimon partner to spring into action. The trio sees the shadow of a werewolf-like Digimon cast upon the all. Shutmon approaches the group, asking what their intentions are for entering the lab. It wasn't clear to them that this was in fact K the Innkeeper, err, formerly. Wormmon seems to recognize this Digimon from somewhere before.
"Hiya. We're just exploring. Have we met? Wait, don't tell me, you're one of the bandits we fought in Nubar." "I don't recall seeing them before." "Well I have to know her from somewhere. Did we battle a big lizard together?"
Before Shutmon can respond, an x appears on a nearby wall, and some breaks through it. When the dust settles, Katsura and Nyao are standing there.
"Well there's someone we know." "Those two..." "Now I definitely recognize them. What a beautiful pair of ladies."
Kiyoko slowly lowers her Digivice, unsure of their intentions. The priestess closes her eyes, places her feet together and clears her throat.
"Ahem. I suppose that wall had it coming then. Greetings. We are exploring this area for dangerous Digimon. What are you doing here?"
Dante is still hesitant to trust the girl and her protector. They have some form of alliance with their on again, off again arch enemy, the Prince of Chaos. And who is this Shutmon? Had the trio found the danger they were looking for, or was there a different danger lurking within Old Terminus?

Yes this was most certainly Dante and his wormmon, they were almost impossible to miss or mess up on whom they were. Well the personality of wormmon was really their setting factor; since it seemed all over the place but when it came down to it the little bug could handle themselves just fine. A small frown creased across her lips as the wormmon started to guess where she was from; seeming initially to think she was a bandit, following almost immediately by guessing about fighting a big lizard together. Her look of exasperation was soon replaced by surprise as some....
Someone decided to break down the wall; in order to what she could imagine get a cool entrance or.. Simply just didn't want to find the door; of which the shutmon had just walked through. The shutmon rubbed her temple and stared at the duo for a few moments before turning her attention to those that she knew.
"Yes we've fought a Big lizard. More specifically a Tyrannamon under a dark tower. Though you'd likely know me a bit better were I to De-digivolve. But that's not happening down here at least."
She'd cross her arms and glance between the them for a few moments before quirking an eyebrow. The question that the one woman accompanying Dante posed was certainly straight to the point along with the explanation of what they were doing here. Looking for dangerous digimon in an unknown region? Why on earth would they do something like that? With a shrug she'd answer, unsure if that was properly directed at any one party.
"Answers primarily; Old zones are full of them. That and the flocking digimon made it really easy to come down here. I'm unsure why you'd immediately look for danger in a new zone, what if it was something you couldn't handle?"
She wasn't really doubting their strength, but there was always the possibility of a bigger fish. There was always a bigger fish after all. She didn't have problems accepting she was no where near that category in it's entirety.

Well this was it, now that everyone knew Katsura and Nyao were there they might as well come clean. "We fell down in this place. Do you know where we are?"
While Kiyoko probably meant to snark at the destructive way Nyao decided to make an entry, by looking at Nyao's indifferent facial expressions, it was very clear that Nyao either didn't know or far more likely didn't care about such consequences. Nyao raised her shoulders in a shrug. "Eh? It's faster that way and nobody lives here anyway." And just like that it looked like everything was falling back into regular conversation in this case between Dante and Shutmon. Katsura did not know when it was appropriate to interrupt so instead she walked down next to wormon while Shutmon was talking.

It seems one of Wormmon's suspicions of where he had met the Shutmon before turned out to be correct. They had battled a Tyrannamon being controlled by a dark ring. The only question was which Rookie the Shutmon was. Nyao didn't seem to care that she had just destroyed the wall. After all the place appears to be abandoned. Katsura tells them that they fell down to this area. A simple explanation, or were they hiding a hidden agenda?
"So I do know you from somewhere, Shutmon. Let me guess, you are... Marshall?" "He's not even a Digimon, little buddy."
Shutmon questions why they would go looking for dangerous Digimon in a new area. What if they face an opponent that Kiyoko cannot defeat? That had not even crossed her mind. Ever since her team disbanded after their first encounter with Azetramon, Kiyoko has been on a mission to maintain the balance between worlds. Her dedication was so serious, it appears overzealous.
"I must protect both Humans and Digimon alike, no matter what the cost. It is my duty both as a Tamer and a priestess." "What does sitting around your temple reciting the same boring chants have to do with anything?" "Your words prove your ignorance." "Stuck up witch..."
As Katsura approaches Wormmon, the Worm King looks up at her with delight in his bug eyes. "Fancy seeing you here, baby. Couldn't get enough of me?" Wormmon flexes his tiny little legs and poses like some sort of bodybuilder. The display of physical strength was rather pathetic.
"I guess we kind of got started off on the wrong foot before. What with all the battling." "You know how I feel about associating with Piedmon's allies." "Come on, anyone this beautiful couldn't be evil." "Many men have fallen victim to alluring young women. You would be wise to not let such depraved instincts be your folly." "Bah, Kiyoko, you and your big words. You're just upset because your face is pale, bland, and unpleasant, hahaha!"
Dante regrets coming down to Old Terminus with Wormmon and Kiyoko. Their bickering was driving him crazy. "Alright, well I guess we could always explore this area together. We could find someone wicked that needs to be stopped, maybe even some long forgotten treasure."
Suddenly the lights in the lab start to flicker. They get very bright to the point where Dante covers his eyes with his sleeve.
"Ah what's going on?! My eyes haven't hurt this bad since I played Death Simulator 3000 for two days straight."
After a short while, the lights return to normal. Dante rubs his eyes, looking around for anything unusual. "Is everyone okay?" "I think I will be fine. What exactly was that?"
A voice is heard coming from behind Dante and Kiyoko. "It wouldn't be showtime without lights, would it?"
Dante feels a chill crawl up his spine. He turns around and sees the Prince of Chaos standing right behind him. "P-P-P-Piedmon?!"

K felt herself frowning as one of the two humans that she didn't really know claimed that they simply just fell down here. Fell from where? That sounded a little bit odd to her, but she wasn't going to really argue the fact seeing as she didn't see them come in. Was it possible they broke through the surface somehow and fell in? Or was it a mistake? She might have to ask later just to sate her curiosity.
Wormmon's reaction was along line of what she had grown to expect from the little digimon and the Shutmon sighed, crossing her arms slowly and staring at the digimon for a few moments. She could feel her tail lashing behind her; mostly from irritation that the digimon seemed to be playing with her in some sense.
"...I'm K. You know. The innkeeper. Former innkeeper now I suppose."
The shutmon's frown increased a little bit at mention of the other human woman being a priestess? She hadn't heard of a human being that before; in fact she wasn't even really aware that the humans in general had anything close to it. Was she a worshiper of the four sovereigns?
"A battle priestess of some form then? Are the four Sovereigns your domain or some human one?"
She'd quirk an eyebrow and flick her ears as she heard mention of a Piedmon. She had heard of a few of such creatures; mostly in the dark area or terminus in general. Though in the latter they tended to run bars or the few casino's that she knew of. Which all in all usually were very well organized. Likely because of the amount of bits they raked in.
".....Piedmon? Like the casino owners or.. something a little more dramatic?"
The digimon likely wouldn't get an answered immediately; but the idea of finding treasure or someone 'wicked' to stop sounded like an adventure all together. She had had quite enough of those as of late; but the way that Dante phrased it had her more intrigued that she'd like to admit.
"Well-"
When the lights started to flicker and ultimately grew brighter than what was comfortable the shutmon grumbled and pulled her goggles down to cover her eyes. While they were simply tinted they at least helped with this sort of thing and made the light not so obnoxious.
"A power surge of some form it seems."
The shutmon rubbed her muzzle and perked up a bit as another unfamiliar voice spoke up. The Shutmon turned slowly and narrowed her eyes; a Piedmon? With the way that Dante responded to the creature she had to imagine that this was the Piedmon he was talking about earlier. She didn't like this; it stank of something fowl and she wasn't talking about general smell. Unconsciously her forearm blades spun forward to the 'attack' position even though that she was in a mostly relaxed stance.
"Speak of a Devil and he shall appear. Somewhat like that movie you humans call beetlejuice. Do you need something?"

Come to think of it, Katsura never got a proper chance to get to know Kiyoko and now that she had, it turned out she was a protector of both worlds. Katsura additionally assumed that she was a miko. "I can see why Piedmon likes you." Katsura tried to come off friendly, even adding a cheerful tone, of course when taken out of the context this just added to strange vibes Katsura unintentionally gave out. What's with Katsura so stubbornly insisting that Piedmon was at worst a stalker with an unrequited crush. Katsura was a bit confused about why it would matter that Kiyoko was using chants with the digital world being a thing and several supernatural things having a digimon counterpart it wouldn't be farfetched for magic to be real to. It did however make her think of Duffer which caused her to let out a sigh. "At least she doesn't base all her knowledge around horror comic books. I have been there." Whoever Duffer is it was obvious to tell that Katsura was cringing over remembering him, once Nyao got the reference she let out a chuckle apparently even she has low thoughts about him. When Wormon tried to hit on Katsura, she kneeled down to meet him eye to eye. "You must be Dantes partner, are you lilithmon too?" Still kneeling, Katsura scratched Wormon on his back it seems like Katsura's habit on unintentionally undermining other digimon's threats. Meanwhile Nyao noticed that Shutmon was named K and used to be a bar keeper. "K? That's an interesting name, does it stand for anything?" To Kiyoko being uncomfortable with Wormon interacting with Katsura, Nyao couldn't even be bothered to look at her. Knowing her own reputation all she did was saying out loud. "I'm standing right here, Kiyoko" Nyao didn't expect a priestess to be much of a threat so she assumed simply reminding Kiyoko of her presence would do. Katsura looked up at the mention of Piedmon, she immediately turned to K to give her own blatantly biased answer.
"Piedmon is a really nice guy, he saved my life and always want to entertain others. He even has his own castle in the dark area!"
Nyao reacted to that rant by playing with Katsura's hair rubbing it. As affectionately as it was it rendered Katsura hair messy. Speaking of Piedmon at that point the light started to flicker to the confusion of Katsura. "Huh?" A moment later the light returned returned and there stood Piedmon! Unlike Dante's stuttering and K's hostility, Katsura showed genuine excitement over seeing Piedmon again. In fact she rushed straight to Piedmon to hug his thigh... Which was about the only thing that short girl could reach properly. Having long since giving up trying to convince Katsura that Piedmon is evil and also having respect for him to spare, Nyao reacted by smiling and make an overbearing sigh. Nyao might as well have been saying "kids these days" and it would give out the same vibes.
"It's nice to see you again" Nyao said gently to Piedmon while Katsura released her grib and walked back to Nyao.

The Shutmon reveals that they are K, the Renamon Dante and Wormmon first met at her inn.
"Ahh, so it's you, K. Glad to see you again." "That's K? Hiya, K. You're looking cool!"
When Katsura says sarcastically that Piedmon likes Kiyoko, the priestess stands there in silence looking creeped out. Katsura approaches Wormmon and asks if they are also Lilithmon. "That's right, not only am I the Worm King, but I am Lilithmon, the Goddess of Destruction, reborn sexier than ever."
Katsura kneels down and scratches Wormmon on the back. Wormy's antennas drop down as he relaxes and smiles. Katsura has some passionate words for Kiyoko in Piedmon's defense. Nyao makes her presence known to Kiyoko, in case she is a threat. Before Kiyoko can respond, the lights flash and Piedmon makes his presence known. K's forearm blades activate at the site of this jester. K comments that it's kind of like Beetlejuice how he appeared after his name was spoken a few times. Dante and Kiyoko slowly back away from the Prince of Chaos. Katsura comes running up and gives his leg a big hug. Piedmon reaches down and pats Katsura on the back, still sporting her red ribbon around the handle of one of his swords.
"Ah, Katsura! I am delighted to see you."
Kiyoko scoffs at the warm welcome.
"Just what are you doing here, Piedmon?" "What's the matter, Dante? I thought we were starting to warm up to each other. We could be friends, pals, buddies, compadres. Actually I require your assistance with a pending matter of great importance."
Having been interrupted before, Kiyoko speaks what is on her mind.
"We shall not aid you, demon. My family has tended to the fox spirit shrine for generations, and I am dedicated towards protecting both worlds from the likes of you. So if you don't want to be the evil I slay here today, you will leave us. Katsura, I can see that you lower your guard to this trickster. I mean you no harm, but I do not wish to accompany those in league with this mad man. He is far more despicable than a casino owner. He's too foolish to run a casino. Oh no, this blight upon the land is an actor!"
"You forgot writer, director, and producer. I am the magic that is theater!"
"Piedmon's a total creeper, but I'd take his company any day over yours, Kiyoko. Your heart is as cold as ice cream." "I will not assist the Prince of Chaos. Do as you will. Dante and I are exploring elsewhere. Right Dante?" "Well, uh, we could at least hear him out." "Dante!" "I vote we push Kiyoko off a bridge." "Silence, demon! You do not get a vote." "I say we hear him out. So long as he keeps the hopeless romantic garbage to a minimum. It beats wandering around with kinky Kiyoko. That's right, I know about the sexy underwear."
Kiyoko's expression goes from stubborn and arrogant to agitated and embarrassed. Worm King: 1. Kiyoko: nothing.

The interactions between katsura and Dante's group was remarkably tame for such an.. Interesting entrance all considered. There was some of it that made the Shutmon slightly worried on the initial basis of things but she couldn't really push it too hard. Humans were young and foolish, but they were quick to adapt. There had to be a reason for the way that this particular one acted.
But she wasn't one to really pry, she wasn't one to really judge even if it was easy to do so. She'd rub her muzzle and keep her mouth clamped shut until addressed. She didn't need to always talk or inform others of happenings, but the query of her name did bring an immediate pause and question of her own.
"Does it need to stand for something? Often more than not a single letter is enough to differentiate me from any other digimon. Simple folk as they were; My parents chose this name for me."
There was a brief shrug and she'd frown at the mention of Piedmon being a nice guy; she didn't really believe that one bit. Most digimon of that variety had ulterior motives that you would never see coming.
"Likewise and thank you Wormmon. Maybe when we get the chance we can sit down and chat a little."
She could tell immediately that the reactions of Dante and Kiyoko had were not... Over the top reactions. The sheer power that this Piedmon possessed made the digimon snort softly. It took her a physical effort to switch her forearm blades back to their normal 'off' position. She didn't like going against her gut but she didn't feel like fighting this creature unless it made itself a threat to her or those that were immediately present.
At the mention of needing their assistance in some form, well more specifically needing dante's help more than anyone. She had her curiousity spike up a bit and the Shutmon found her eyes narrowing further underneath her goggles.
When someone didn't immediately tell you what they needed, and alluded to something there was always a catch to things. However when Kiyoko responded to the Piedmon quicker than the Shutmon could she found her frown returning almost immediately.
Her interest was piqued at mention of a fox shrine of some form. Even claiming that the Piedmon was evil in a sense; going even further to tell Katsura that she both meant no harm and didn't wish to accompany those that were in league with the piedmon. She found her finger tapping her muzzle thoughtfully for a few moments before clenching her fist at the foolery that was occurring.
"Now is not the time to talk about undergarments or immediate personal matters. Speak plainly and quickly Jester or you'll find yourself lacking company that you had not even moments ago."

It brightened Katsura's day to see wormon like this all relaxed and happy about being pet, now knowing that he turned into lilithmon helped ease the mood too though she hadn't forgotten whose side in the conflict she was on. Still, a friendly giggle at Wormon's bragging seemed like sufficient proof Katsura was listening. Eventually she felt the comfort of getting patted by Piedmon.
Nyao made a smug face at Kiyoko as response to her disdain for the warm welcome. Then she shrugged at K's explanation that the letter didn't stand for anything, by the end of the day all Nyao tried to do was small talk. "Well I picked Nyao myself though in hindsight it made more sense back when I was a cat hehe." "What's the matter, Dante? I thought we were starting to warm up to each other. We could be friends, pals, buddies, compadres." "Yeah Dante, why can't you give him a chance? You don't know him the way I do" "Actually I require your assistance with a pending matter of great importance." This was perfect, she liked Piedmon and if she wanted to get out she'd need a favor. Plus after having saved her life doing a thing in return made sense. To Katsura this was a no-brainer. "Of course Piedmon, what do you need?"
Before Katsura could hear the answer, she found herself completely overshadowed by Kiyoko which caused her to stare at Kiyoko in cringe. Being pushed back to a spectator they only wished they had popcorn. Eventually Piedmon asked to vote for throwing Kiyoko over a bridge, with a grin painted on her face Nyao was in the middle of raising her hand in favor... Until a judgemental stare from Katsura convinced her to half-heartly take it down, the damage was done though as everyone could tell by Nyao now looking like she was trying to resist the urge to tell an inappropriate joke for the group. The discussion about Kiyoko's underwear didn't help either.

Well this was quite the situation they found themselves in. Dante was now in a strange area of the Digital World with both Kiyoko and Piedmon about to start a melee. Maybe he should have listened to Wormmon and let Kiyoko go play superhero alone. Apparently K's moniker was not an abbreviation, but the single letter was her entire name. It did seem kind of catchy. Dante nods at K when they mention getting the chance to catch up. It would be a welcome break from this argument. Nyao mentions that they got to choose her own name, and did so as a kitty. Another name that was probably more unusual than it sounded. Who was Dante to judge? He was a young man with a pet worm that has around 500 different nicknames.
With Piedmon's sudden appearance, Kiyoko had spearheaded a hostile conversation, with Katsura going to bat for the Prince of Choas, in all his thespian glory. When Piedmon spoke of voting to throw Kiyoko off a bridge, Nyao motioned to raise her hand, and Dante had to control himself and keep from laughing. Although Kiyoko was a dear friend of his and one of his most trusted allies as a Tamer, it was hilarious how she managed to tap dance on people's nerves. Outnumbered, Kiyoko decides to back down.
"Alright, if you wish to make a deal with this demon, don't let me stop you. I'm just a noble priestess who is fighting to protect the innocent and-" "Yes, yes-yes-yes-yes, we all know what a snob you are! So pretentious." "That's a big word, coming from the Worm Peasant." "KIYOKO!"
The priestess' snide comment had triggered Wormy like never before. Mr. Wiggles went from relaxed to aggressive like a switch. The Goddess of Destruction was about to live up to their name, even in Rookie form. Dante goes to step in and get Wormmon to calm down, but of all people, and Digimon, Piedmon steps in front of Kiyoko to prevent Wormmon from opening up a can of whoop ass on her face.
"Now now, we don't need to hurt Kiyoko, just because she's an ignorant woman." "So now women are ignorant? Let's not add to your list of sins." "Wait, no. That's not how I meant it! I'm trying to stick up for you, heartless she-devil." "Move out of the way! She insulted my prestigiousness." "That's not a word." "Enough! Wormmon, stand down little buddy. You're only escalating the situation. Piedmon, we will hear you out."
Wormmon crawls back over to Katsura, one of the few people being nice to him. Piedmon takes a few steps away to address the group.
"Ahem. Once upon ago, back when the Goddesses reigned over the Digital World, there was a very special kind of wine. We called it, Heaven's Nectar. This wine was so strong, that a single sip could make someone drunk as a skunk on Friday for weeks at a time. This wine was very highly sought after, in particular by the Goddesses. The phrase "Nectar of the Goddesses" was thrown around a lot back then. The wine was so highly sought after, that soon different Goddesses would wage entire wars with each other, all in the hopes of acquiring their stash of Nectar."
"Yes, I remember it. The sweet, soothing taste of nectar. I would have conquered a dozen territories just to procure a half empty bottle."
"Precisely. After many brutal battles, and fancy dinner parties, all but one bottle remained. It is rumored that Azetramon last had possession of the last remaining bottle of Heaven's Nectar. After years of searching the Digital World for the nectar, I eventually gave up my quest. However, new areas that have been disconnected are starting to reopen. I have reason to believe that the last bottle resides in Old Terminus."
Dante is troubled by this news. Piedmon was searching for some kind of wine? This couldn't be right. Though the prospect of some kind of super wine intrigued him.
"This sounds like a setup. You seriously expect us to run some kind of errand for you?" "Not just any errand, but one of great importance." "Heaven's Nectar is real, and if a bottle remains, I want it!" "This is ridiculous! I can't believe I actually expected better from you, fool, but searching for a bottle of wine?" "Ya, I'm not so sure about this."
Piedmon rushes over to Dante and Kiyoko, and drops to his knees. He bows down to them, begging and pleading for their help.
"Please, this is not a ruse. I'm begging you, I simply must have the nectar in my collection. I will give you more than a fair reward if you find me the wine." "Pull yourself together, Piedmon. Nobody likes wine more than me, besides you, apparently, and Shirou, but I'm not going to help you find the nectar. It sounds dangerous."
Piedmon gets up, and dusts himself off.
"I see. Then that leaves me with no other choice."
Piedmon quickly grabs Kiyoko and pulls her in towards his chest. Dante reaches for Kiyoko, but Piedmon backs away. The Prince of Chaos draws his blade with the ribbon around the handle and points it at Dante's throat.
"Either you help me find the nectar, or little miss princess here is about to be seriously injured." "Like I care about Kiyoko." "I was talking about Dante." "Hey! Put down your sword and leave Kiyoko alone!" "It seems we're at an impasse here. I suggest you make a decision before I lose my temper."
Would they give in to Piedmon's threats and help him? Dante didn't have much choice at this point. Katsura would help, unless this sudden act of wickedness changes her mind. What would K think about this threat? Piedmon had lured them into a false sense of security, then resorted to violence to get what he wants.

It made sense why Nyao would pick a name like that; at least back when she was a rookie proper. OR at least that is what K presumed when they chose the name. With a small shrug she'd cross her arms and take a somewhat passive stance to the side while Katsura seemed to mimic the ideas that the Piedmon had been putting forward as well as even immediately agreeing to help them out. At least asking in such a fashion that indicated willingness to do so.
"well if it fits who's to really say otherwise?"
The interactions between Kiyoko and wormmon made the Shutmon sigh softly. Her head shook slowly and she had to wonder, what the hell she had gotten herself into. She wouldn't bother intervening again on their behalf when it came to interaction between the two. They weren't really a threat to one another else they wouldn't of been traveling with one another as long as they probably had.
Her ears flicked forward and the frown returned on her face as the piedmon addressed Kiyoko as well as Dante and Wormmon. Though the latter of the most went back over to katsura; it only would illicit a sigh from the shutmon. She didn't know how to really deal with Wormmon and was curious how Dante even did; perhaps it was just a really good farce.. or something worth it down the road.
Then there was finally the reason for why the Piedmon was here. The innkeeper had heard about the 'Nectar' before a long while ago but doubted that an intact bottle existed currently as it was.. Well. Far too strong and any that would come across it would desire to partake in the whole thing given enough time of it.
"I don't think any of us look like particularly good errand runners. Why would you even bother with this item anyways? The chances of the bottle being intact is beyond reasoning alone."
She frowned and found her gaze trailing over to dante and Kiyoko. The Piedmon even offered a reward for getting this wine. She let out a smooth sigh and shook her head; what on earth would the digimon even give for something so priceless? But before she really could ask piedmon not only grabbed Kiyoko, but drew a blade as well. She felt her own anger spike a bit and her forearm blades went back into the 'attack' position.
"I would recommend against this course of action Piedmon. This hinders you more than helps. As before we were a little more likely to listen. Even if your request on it's own is foolish."

Have you ever tried being that person everyone listens to get their way? Justified or not that was how Katsura felt right now especially after seeing Kiyoko back down and having her arguments being weaken into passive aggressive remarks about how she was the holiest of the holiest person in the world. Then Nyao sighed in disbelief over the result: An increasingly hostile atmosphere between Wormon and Kiyoko. "Wait... Umm" Having better things to do with her time than petty fights which was why she returned to her conversation with K, who had just commented on names. "Eh, exactly. Besides I spend most of my time as gatomon anyway." Fortunately Piedmon had, at least partially, control over the situation by placing himself in between them. When wormon was sent frightened to Katsura for comfort, Katsura granted that by allowing him to hide behind her ankles. Then Piedmon finally got a chance to tell what he wanted from them, apparently some rare wine. Katsura listened intensely especially the name Azetramon inquired her enough to make a depressed sigh evidently meeting that goddess of destruction was not a memory Katsura would overcome anytime soon. Nyao seemed to pick up on Katsura's sadness and stroked her on the head. "It's okay dear, it's in the past anyway." "I know... We..."
Katsura was just about to accept the quest when seemly everyone else was taking turns huffing at Piedmon. Katsura could barely say anything worthwhile aside from attempting to interrupt the others, it was obvious to tell that Katsura was the not on board with this game of "let's roast Piedmon while he's on his knees begging". If Katsura was just a bit more assertive she would likely had yelled up by now, at least she had it in her eyes. Finally, Katsura got a chance to state her mind after Piedmon turned to violence. Katsura raised her palms nervously in a comforting manner as she slowly walked dangerously close to Piedmon.
"Wow Piedmon calm down, we unm or at least I sigh will get you the wine. Just don't hurt her, please I'm begging you." Now the ball was on Piedmon's field, Katsura had appealed to Piedmon even going as far as walking close to him despite his violent behavior. Meanwhile K was making remarks about how this turn of events allegedly only made things worse for Piedmon.
