"Good job everyone," Agumaru shouts encouragingly. "Might not be able to hurt the Rhinomon much, but we might be able to break the ring! Besides, our goal is distraction and redirection." And it seems that it is working relatively well. He gives a short wave to Shoutmon when he gives the thumbs up. He prepares to move, but stops when he sees Rhinomon preparing an attack. He's ready to dodge a projectile or evade a ramming attack, but he was not expecting the very ground beneath him to shake.
"Gah!" Agumaru loses his footing, and begins to topple backwards. He tries to correct this, only to overcompensate and land face first. "This... is a minor inconvenience! What now?" He used up his charge of Toy Flame Pepper Breath, needing to recharge. And his remaining moves were melee attacks, which are useless when he can't reach his opponent. As he rises up back on his feet and spies a small rock, he gets an idea.
"Hey! I got something for you," the ToyAgumon shouts, whirring and whirling his arms. "Million Punch Mach Jab Rock Shoot!" He uses the power of his arm-spinning, punching attack to throw the rock, attempting to hit the Dark Ring again. Rookie attacks against a Champion with heavy armor are already weak, and using an improvised attack will only make it weaker, but he hopes to do SOME damage. Besides, like he said, distraction and redirection are the goals. ----------------- Toy Flame on Cooldown - 1 turn remaining Mach Jab on Cooldown - 1 turn remaining Fancy Star not on Cooldown

While flinching initially from Shoutmon's shouting towards charging up Bellow Blaster, long enough that Koda's own fireball was able to sneak past and hit Rhinomon's dark ring once more. The Champion level, however, was not left helpless completely, they suddenly covered by a bright light that surrounded their front entirely. The barrier formed over Rhinomon while was only directed on their front, it was enough to shield it from both Shoutmon and Agumaru's melee attacks entirely. Terriermon gulped a bit, realizing group "Matadormon" may be having some trouble back there. They couldn't give up yet though! They still had a tower to destroy! "K-keep him busy! You guys can do it!" Terriermon yelled out to the other members of the group, firing another barrage of Bunny Blast at the tower. The bug brothers' own attacks were finally starting to showcase some progress against the tower, Roger managing to squeeze the crack open up a bit wider. Some black dust seems to shake off the monument, though sure enough progress was being made. While progress was being made on the demolition crew's end of things, Shoutmon and Agumaru may be in a bit of a bind being so close to Rhinomon... who frankly looked very angry. The behemoth Digimon roared as it attempted to suddenly try trampling the two underfoot with its barrier still sheening over it, the beast Digimon jumping into a slow, but destructive charge.
Rhinomon blocked Shoutmon and Agumaru's attacks with Atomic Burst, attacking them both with it.
Terriermon attacks the Control Spire with Bunny Blast
Atomic Burst - Rhinomon's front is surrounded by a bright sheen of light, it charging forward in a battering ram attack. Attacks from Champion levels or lower will do nothing up-front with the duration of the attack, anything stronger having its damage cut in half. While strong, it's also hard to control the attack and Rhinomon is committed into it once it uses the move. (Cooldown: 3 turns) le briefly slowing down foes hit by the moving earth by 50% for a turn. (Cooldown: 2 turns)
Bunny Blast -Terriermon attacks with multiple pellets of energy spat from their mouth. A relatively-weak attack, but its fairly quick to utilize and carries no real weaknesses overall. Damage Received
Rhinomon Dark Ring - 4 - Rookie Attacks 0 - Armor Champion Attacks 0 - Champion Attacks
Control Spire 7 - Rookie Attacks 0 - Armor Champion Attacks 1 - Champion Attacks
COOLDOWNS Earthshaker - 2 turns Atomic Burst - 3 turns

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" Shoutmon yells as his Bellow Blaster attack is blocked by Rhinomon's Atomic Burst, sending him back even more. "YOU FREAKING... JUST GET HIT ALREADY!!!!!!!" Shoutmon was SERIOUSLY getting angry about this.
"KEEP YOUR COOL, SHOUTMON!" Adrian yelled over to him. "You'll only make it worse by letting yourself be angry!"
"How can I NOT be angry!!? Nothing we do seems to be working!"
"Just do what Terriermon says: keep him busy until the tower is destroyed!"
Yeah, but how long will that take...? Shoutmon thought mainly to himself. "Wait a second... my yell caused the Rhinomon to flinch, meaning Hackmon was able to hit its Dark Ring... Okay, this is gonna be a long shot, but I have to try!
"Everyone cover your ears again!" Shoutmon warns. "I'm going in..." Shoutmon aligned himself so he'd be right in between the Rhinomon and the tower, just in case that Rhinomon wanted to charge right after him. Shoutmon held the mic up to his mouth, took a deep breath, and did a weird combination of singing and screaming right at the Rhinomon.
"MAKE SOME NOOOOOOOISSSEEE!!!!!!!"

How could Agumaru's and Shoutmon's attacks do nothing to the Rhinomon? How could that Rhinomon completely ignore Shoutmon's fierce attack? How could Agumaru's improvised tiny thrown rock attack from a Rookie level fail to do anything against a Dark Ringed Champion? Okay... maybe the ToyAgumon's attack wasn't that impressive after all. However, it was disheartening to see the charging beast not only block the attack, but use one move to both completely defend against their attacks and also attack right back.
"CrudcrudcrudcrudCRUD!" Agumaru is stunned, indecisive, having very few options in his mind. He could throw another rock, but with it not fueled by any attacks, it is sure to do even less than the nothing it did when he powered his throw with Million Punch Mach Jab. All his attacks are on cooldown except his signature counter, but against the full force of the Rhinomon's shielded charge, he would be on the losing end of that exchange
But what if it wasn't against the full force of the charge...?
Agumaru leaps to the side, still in the general path of the charge, but enough that if Rhinomon were to keep going in a straight line, it would graze him at worst. "FAANCYYYYY..." he shouts, summoning shining cartoony stars around himself. He would wait until the last moment as Rhinomon passes near him, and try to expand the short, close range of his explosive star barrier as far as possible.

Roaring with fury, Koba breaks into a run and skids to a halt in front of the giant Rhinomon. He looks up at it and narrows his eyes. "Fire slash!" He announces loudly as he covers his claws with fire and slashes at the dark ring around Rhinomon's leg. Violet recovers from laughing enough to stand up and sees Koba next to the giant beast known as Rhinomon. "Koba, you idiot!" She yells as she sees Koba attempt to attack the dark ring infecting the Digimon. It didn't take a detective to figure out this was a bad idea, especially because Rhinomon was a whole level higher than Koba. It was apparent that Koba's "bravery" would someday be the end of him.

"Hey Morg, I think they might need a little help over there!" Roger called as he heard what sounded like a lot of anger and pain reached his ears. Clearly things weren't going as well for Team Matadormon as they had hoped! Or maybe it was?
At Shoutmon's warning to cover their ears, Roger immediately started fretting. He shoved one side of his head against the tower and then curled up so tail covered the rest and managed to avoid the sonic-induced pain that way. When he 'felt' Morgan uncover where his ears would be, Roger would uncurl himself get back to work on the tower. He was pretty smug even as all the electricity faded from his body and he was stuck stabbing his tail into one of the tower cracks.
Morgan uncovered his ears again. He had to admit that Shoutmon had some pretty impressive lungs, if impressive was the word for it. He did agree with Roger's assessment though. The distractions were probably in need of health. "Keep at it, I will see to the forward team."
With that the rather soft-spoken Fanbeemon was off! Quickly he buzzed his way to the Rhinomon and the rookies surrounding him and hovered over the fight, his eyes quickly scanning his allies. Who was the most hurt? Ah, it looked like the Hackmon was pretty beat up. What was his name again? Probably something unimportant!
The Fanbeemon lifted his forelimbs and concentrated. Soon a ball of orange light gathered between his claws and he tossed it to Koba while he gave them all some encouragement. "That earth shaking damaged the tower as well, keep up the work! I can swap out if one of you needs a break."
Meanwhile Hiroyo had been completely ignored by the other female human! With a huff she crossed her arms and backed away, an angry pout on her face.
Morgan uses Healing Pollen (Heals a Rookie's attack's worth of damage and numbs pain) on Noba.
Cool Down 0/2
Roger uses his tail blade to try and pry open one of the cracks on the tower.

Agumaru's Fancy Stars did a good job at managing to catch Rhinomon underfoot, a few managing to pop onto it's body and Dark ring. Beyond that though, it in no way was capable of stopping Rhinomon from trampling over Agumaru if they didn't immediately dive out of the way. While perhaps a good idea to Shoutmon, his attempt at screaming at the Champion level was not NEARLY as effective as the first time... what with it not being even an actual technique. The only thing it REALLY accomplished was make a lot of noise and annoy Rhinomon. It was enough to briefly distract Rhinomon from noticing Koba as they slice at the ring once more, it noticeably cracking partially. Good progress towards destroying the ring, but now this earned the ire of the massive Champion level. It was probably for the best that the Hackmon get out of the way quickly as Rhinomon motioned to unleash another Ivory Revenge at point-blank at Koba. Terriermon was trying his best to concentrate (having failed to listen to Hackmon's warning earlier, his ears being highly sensitive), though he was still focused on taking down the Control Spire. The quicker they could take down the tower, the quicker this entire fight can end! "Hold on for just a little longer! Keep him off our tail!" the Rookie level squeaked out to those fighting the Champion level still. He jumped towards where Roger was trying to jab his stinger into the crack, aiming yet another punch at the spire. Real progress was starting to actually show finally, there now very distinct damage visible... "Hey! We may got this!" the rabbit Digimon managed to comment, surprised to see that the structure was finally starting to fall apart. Just a little more damage, and this thing would be crashing down soon!

"SHOUTMON!" Adrian yelled from the sidelines after Shoutmon's previous "plan" turned out to be a huge bust. "Enough with the yelling! You have an opening, just aim for the dark ring!"
"HOW ABOUT YOU LET ME JUST DO MY THING?!" Shoutmon yelled back in anger.
"Your thing doesn't even work! Come on, you have a clear shot! I know you can do it, Shoutmon!"
"And what if it doesn't?"
"We'll cross that road when it comes. It's almost destroyed. The control spire has some damage to it, as well! You are my partner, Shoutmon. I believe in you, and you should believe in me." Adrian felt so weird saying this, because he never truly felt sure about anything... this time included. But he had to say SOMETHING!
Shoutmon looked back and forth at Adrian and the Rhinomon's dark ring. Eventually, he sighed in defeat. "Okay..." Shoutmon held out his microphone. "I guess I'm pulling a Hackmon here..." With a huge boost of determination, Shoutmon puts the pedal to the metal and books it towards the Rhinomon, microphone raised triumphantly.
"RAAAAA!!!! ROCK AAAAAND ROLLERRRRRR!!!!!!" With an energized jump, Shoutmon swings his staff to make contact with the Dark Ring.
[Shoutmon uses Rock and Roller on the dark ring.]

Koba is hit by the Rhinomon's attack, causing him to be sent back dozens of feet, incredibly damaged. "Koba, no! Shit!" Violet cursed, seeing the small rookie Digimon be damaged greatly by the giant Digimon's attack.
Koba growled, and slowly stood up from where he had finally stopped being flown back from the Rhinomon's attack. His chest, where it had hit, hurt very much, causing him to wince as he stood up. He glared at the Rhinomon. "I'm gonna... kill you..." He said between gritted teeth.
Violet ran towards him and picked him up, making him give out an involuntary groan from the pain. "You're not gonna go send yourself to death again!" She ordered him. "Sit down, and let them deal with it!" "Release me at once!" He squirmed in Violet's arms.

Roger began cackling yet again when Terriermon hit the spot he was currently trying to dig out with his tail blade. "Yes! You are an excellent team player!" The Kunemon told the rabbit before rearing his head back and smashing his face beak-first against the tower. He regretted this immediately.
"I think, I think I chipped my beak!"
Roger's Fanbeemon brother was having slightly better luck. It seemed like his healing pollen had missed...? Or no, it had landed! It just, wasn't as useful in this situation as Morgan had been hoping. He clicked his beak in annoyance and then lifted his arms again, buzzing loudly. Quieter, fainter buzzes began to answer as bees began to swarm from hidden places from the grass. Soon a small swarm had gathered and made a beeline straight for Rhinomon's eyes! Hopefully blocking his vision and throwing his aim off.
Roger uses a normal attack against the tower.
Morgan uses Hachi Hachi Call which summons a swarm of bees to block the target's vision and do small (probably none) damage to the target. Lasts for a turn against champions.
Cooldowns: Morgan Healing Pollen: 1/2 Hachi Hachi Call: 0/2

Agumaru flings himself out of the way at the last second, tumbling across the ground. As he slowly rises, he watches Koba get struck, grabbing his middle and wincing empathetically. "Gh... you okay Koba? Fall back if you're hurt, you've done more than your share!"
Agumaru finally stands up all the way and brushes himself off. The ring looks damaged, and surely the spire must be about ready to fall! "Let's finish this ring! If both it and the spire are still standing, then we should signal our teammates to abandon the tower and guide the Rhinomon into it! Whaddya think?"
There's no time for more talking, however, now is the time for action. Channeling the power of fire through himself, the ToyAgumaru lets loose another flame missile. "Pepper Breath! PYAH!"

The Champion level's bloodlust towards the Hackmon (flung back like a doll by their attack) while terrifying, they were distracted enough to offer one more opening against the Dark Ring bound around Rhinomon's leg. The mic managed to bash nicely against the black circlet, followed shortly by the plastic fireball from Agumaru; causing the accessory to crack a bit. Unfortunately, Rhinomon's gaze was directed still at Koba... and with Violet attempting to rescue the injured Hackmon, she was endangering herself now. Before something potentially unfortunate could happen however, Morgan's managed to help alleviate that problem with the simplest of solutions... A fist full of bees. The Rhinomon roared in pain as the bees slipped within his helmet, he throwing his head about wildly. While they tried to aim another Ivory Revenge towards where Koba (and henceforth Violet), the swarming insects did a good job at obscuring it's vision and distracting it as it flung the projectile. Good thing too as the crescent blade of energy crashd just a foot or two away from the girl and the injured Hackmon. Terriermon was actually starting to adopt a look of worry on his face, especially after that close call on Violet's part. They needed to get either that ring destroyed OR the tower taken down QUICK; they were running out of close calls. Humans after all WERE very squishy. "E-everyone! Focus the tower! We have to end this quick!" the little mammal called out to the group, spitting another barrage of pellets at the crack still. With the way the monument was starting to tip over here and there, it couldn't be too much longer to topple this thing if they just focused on it!
Rhinomon tried to attack Koba and Violet with Ivory Revenge, but Morgan's Hachi Hachi Call threw off their aim.

Whether they liked it or not, Adrian and Shoutmon both knew Terriermon was right. Violet was constantly putting herself in constant danger trying to protect Hackmon, and nothing else the others did was working, like destroying the dark ring. Shoutmon took a look at the control spire, a deep passion building inside of him.
"All right everyone!" Shoutmon announced to the other Digimon. "Hackmon! Agumaru! You heard Terriermon; this isn't working! We have a clear shot at completely knocking down that control spire, and ending this whole thing! Everyone! Let's combine our powers now!"
After Shoutmon finished his speech, he charged towards the control spire, his microphone in hand.
All right... we have one shot at this... let's make this count!
"BELLOW BLASTERRRR!" Shoutmon yelled into the blunt part of his mic, charging it with passion energy. He ran, and ran, and ran until he was close to that control spire. Then, with a super-jump, he yelled as his energy-charged microphone collided with the side of the tower.

It seems Agumaru was running out of options again. He'll really have to see about becoming stronger so he doesn't run out of power so easily. Now would be a great time for him to pull out a secret move, but he hasn't learned any...
"Let's see..." he ponders aloud. "I could make a run for it, and take on the tower head-on, but..." A small plastic real dinosaur trying to outrun a rampaging Rhinomon to the tower seems a bit disastrous. "I just used my only projectile move, my counter is on cooldown, and everyone wants me to focus on the Spire so going melee is out of the question. What if...."
Then he realizes what he must do. The whole point of Operation Matadormon has come down to this. He picks up another rock and starts running for the tower, turning around quick enough to throw the rock at Rhinomon's head and keep running. There was no way he would make it to the tower in time. He was going to be hit by the rampaging rhino.
And that's all part of the plan.
"CLEAR THE PATH! INCOMING!" Agumaru hollers to his allies, then when close enough, comes to a dead stop. He spreads out his arms and stands his ground. Time for one of two actions. If the Rhinomon appears to be moving fast enough or uses a projectile, he'll allow his bricks unstable data to fly apart, mitigating damage to himself while Rhinomon hits the Spire directly or indirectly. If the attack will only strike Agumaru and not continue through, however, he is ready to make his sacrifice as a living projectile. His body should be hard enough to damage the Spire, but...
He hope it doesn't come to that.

Roger turned his head from the tower when Agumaru called out. People only yelled that loudly if there was more reason, and as the stripes on his face subtly changed shape as the Kunemon stretched his electric senses in that reason he was quick to realize why. Immediately his body went tense and he dropped a word that wasn't fit for polite company as he began to climb. His plan was simple: Get high enough on the tower that Rhinomon's impact zone was below him. He cackled all the way up.
"Yes! This is the kind of high stakes a fight should have!"
Morgan hovered above the raging Rhinomon, the Fanbeemon's attention carefully focused on those who were attempting to lure it into the tower. Watching Agumaru fall apart was rather worrisome but then again had the Agumon-variant mentioned that ability before? He couldn't remember. Oh well, too late to assume much! He spread his claws out and faced the tower. His eyes closed and he took a deep breath. Wind began to whip around him, a mini-maelstrom that coalesced into a miniature tornado in front of him. His eyes snapped open and he smacked his claws together.
"Pursuing Tiny Tornado!" The in front of him made a bee line for the tower, the strong winds around it making it more difficult to aim ranged attacks.
