He watched their movements, impressed by their teamwork. "Well, they're coordinated, that's for sure. Probably have a good amount of experience dealing with this sort of thing." He was able to keep up, and stayed quiet when she told him to. His heart pounded as he looked outside, and he couldn't exhale until the digimon went away.
After a moment of silence, he sighed, grasping his chest. "Oh man, that was scary..." after catching his breath, he turned to them. "Thanks for the save, I owe you two!" he said, giving them a smile. "I'm Ron, I just got introduced to this world very recently, what's your names?"
He had to sit down on a rock as he calmed down, rubbing his eyes. "Man I did not expect to run into something like that on my second time coming here, *sigh* I don't think I can handle a giant metal dino with my current skill set, and seeing as how you two have more experience then I do,"
He pulls his hand down, nodding. "I'll follow your orders! Now then, can you two catch me up to speed as to what happened to get us up to this point?"

They were safe... for the time being as she lowered her hand from Vector's mouth. She sighed and rested back against the rock. It was too dangerous to exit the cave, but the cave clearly went deeper into the canyon's rocks. Shino soon was able to focus on the stranger-- the other human here in the digital world. He called himself Ron, and he seemed very nice if a bit naive about the world he was thrust into.
It seemed it was his second time, here, and upon closer look-- she probably would find a Digivice on him too. "To be frank, that THING out there is too strong for any of us right now..." she said, not sure how to handle this. "Yes, I been doing this a while, but Vector hasn't even learned how to evolve yet."
"Hey... I'm trying. You try metamorphesizing." he quipped.
"That's not a word..." She grumbled and turned to the stranger, "Anyway, the name is Nemesis. Call me Nemesis. And this is Vector." she introduced. Clearly, she gave the name of her alias as she didn't know this person just yet. Still, it was still true as it was her hacker and 'tamer' alias to protect her true identity.
Asking to be caught up to date, Vector let out a hum as he scratched the edge of his nose with his rifle-- a stupid bad habit of his. "Hmm... Let's see... We came here for a stroll in the digiworld, had a picnic with a loud-mouth Agumon who ditched us and Mega-Digi-Zilla came out and tried to turn me into a retainer. Am I leaving anything out?" Vector replied sarcastically to the boy.
Shino sighed, rubbing her head. "Just ignore him..." With that, she looked down into the depths of the cave. Though narrow and tight, it seemed to go down a bit and just big enough for small Digimon and humans to travel through. "Vector, does this cave go far?"
Vector's eyes still glowed yellow-- as he could see as if it was radar. "Yep-- it goes deeper beyond my vision so it probably comes out somewhere." he said.
Confident the MetalTyrannomon was nowhere around, but not safe enough to wander outside, she turned to the cave. "Let's just try to follow this for another way out. "

Ron was disappointed with their answer about fighting that thing. "Well crap, that plan to team up just went out the window, guess we gotta think of something else." He thought, to which the voice in his head made an annoyed sigh.
"Really now, you thought that you would have made a difference against something like that?" it quipped. "Well... no, not really, but I thought it might have been worth a try, right?" he got no reply to that, annoyed he decided to focus on listening to Nemesis and Vector.
He agreed with them that looking farther into the cave was the best plan, nodding, he gets up and stretches. "Alright, let's go before dinobot comes back." He followed the two of them, walking slowly so that he doesn't trip on anything, but not enough to slow the group down.
"If you don't mind me asking questions, How long have you two been a team? For me, I started coming here yesterday, well not here here, but anyway, my partner is a bit different, definitely not as talkative as Vector." He didn't get a reply, but Ron heard a grumble in his head.

They made their way into the tunnel, now a wider-reaching cavern of stalagmites and stalactites that made it seem like a forest of rocks. The moment, it was darker and darker, making it hard to see. That was, till Shino reached into her kit behind her and took out her Cellphone. She couldn't communicate outside of the Digital World with it, but some of the apps and services still worked-- like the flashlight that let her use her phone for one. It lit up the cave just enough to let them see the general direction-- and Vector led the forefront of where to go, since his 'radar senses' could see in the dark somewhat.
Shino felt a bit worried to be on the run from an Ultimate Digimon of all things, but she knew they had little choice. No matter how powerful a strategy she had, it meant nothing if damage couldn't penetrate the metal hide of the MetalTyrannomon.
As they walked, Shino soon learned that Ron was new to the Digital World. It surely wasn't unusual but didn't expect she would be seeing a newcomer to this world so soon. "Um, I had Vector and we been working together for a few weeks. Actually about a month," Shino said, pressing onward. However she soon stopped. "Wait a minute. You're partner? Where is your partner then?" she said, realizing the boy was alone.

Ron was getting more concerned about tripping on something the farther they went, but when Nemesis pulled out her phone for the flashlight, he remembered his had one as well, and pulled his out. He listened as Nemesis told him how long she and Vector where a team, mentally reducing the chance they had of fighting that digimon they where trying to get away from, which went from 'will probably die', to 'good lord what where you thinking?'.
When she ask about his partner, he was willing to answer. "Well, he's right in here." He taps his forehead. "At least I think so, for all I know he could be in one of my fingers." "I hope you aren't thinking of those fingers." the voice in his head said to him, making him chuckle a moment. "Well anyway, I think he's called a spirit Digimon, found him when I fill into a portal, and ended up in a forest. Because of him I can turn into some blue dog with boxing gloves, i think it's called Gaomon?"
He scratched the top of his head, "Still getting used to being able to turn into a digimon, but so far it's kinda neat actually."

Shino had paused to hear him explain and hearing about his partner in his 'head', or 'fingers', made both Shino and Vector pause regarding this younger tamer or whatever he was. The cave went silent as she listened to him fully. IT was hard to take what he said seriously. Maybe trips to the Digital World actually had some effect on his brain. "Um... I see?" she said, trying to be as polite and respectful as possible given the unusual statement he said. That's curious..."
Vector look was more easier to read, saying he didn't believe anything that crazy that a Digimon lived in a person's head. "Coo-coo!" he chirped, not so subtly stating how he viewed the strange human. Shino slowly turned her head to her partner, seeing him continue his rude act. "Coo-coo! Coo-coo!"
WACK!! Shino gave him a sharp slap upside the head, making the Commandramon's helmet fall over his eyes.
"Vector! Don't be rude!" she snapped, glaring at her partner.
"Owie..." Vector grumbled, rubbing his head. "Hey you were thinking it-- I'm just saying it. "
Shino rolled her eyes-- however things got clearer when he mentioned becoming a Digimon. You're a Spirit User, aren't you?" she said, realizing what he meant and how he got the impression of talking to his spirit in his mind... or so she assumed. She would correct this boy, but for now, it was best not to interrupt or be any ruder than Vector had been.
The comment of being a dog with boxing gloves, Vector giggled. "Pfft. Really? A Dog with Boxing Gloves? Like that would happen. Its as crazy as a dinosaur with a tommy gun."
Shino slowly turned to Vector, an irritated look on her face. "How the hell did I end up with the crazy partner?" she sighed and pressed on down the cave.

Realizing what he was saying could be taken as crazy talk... and did, he nervously chuckles. "Ah, sorry, probably should have led with 'I'm a spirit user', huh?" He rubs his eyes, slightly embarrassed, but decides to just let it go. When Nemesis asked, probably herself, how she got her crazy partner, he slightly chucked.
"Hey, at least yours talks to you, mine barely talks to me all that much, yesterday I only knew he was there because he was unable to... Ehh, you know what, it's not important. Point is, be thankful you have a 'crazy' partner, instead of a boring one." His Spirit piped up at this. "I am not boring, I'm just unsure as to who you really are."
Ron rolled his eyes at this. "What, you want to know if I secretly kick puppies or something? Trying to figure out where my moral compass lands?" Ron asked in his head, "Something like that, I'll tell you what I'm looking for later, depending on what you do." Realizing that Nemesis and Vector didn't hear the conversation he had, and just saw him roll his eyes, he apologized, "Ah sorry for that, I was reacting to something my spirit said, I need to work on that so I don't look weird talking with others."

Shino paused at what he said, but her somewhat suspicious look soften to a more understanding one. She gathered the concept and since he was kind enough to explain, she removed the doubts this kid was a bit 'unstable'. She knew crazy, and she meant real life crazy.. if any time as a foster kid gave her any kind of insight. That and her uncle being in cyber crime and as a hacker made her aware of all kinds of crazies that roamed the internet and real world. This person was likely not one of them. "My advice is, if it converse in your head, you probably can just talk to it with your head. No need to announce it or anything. It's understandable. Sorry for my partner and I getting the wrong idea." Shino said as they pressed on.
"Shino! Shino! " Vector shouted, which made Shino really embarassed. Nemesis was her alians, esp since when she came to the digital world, she literaly became much like her online avatar.
"Vector..."Shino growled, making Vector realized he slipped.
"Whoops! Sorry, Shino-chi! I just wanted to tell you the cave opens up ahead. We got a way out!"
Shino's anger faded as she caught the glimpses of light around the corner. No doubt the cave tunnel ended up out on the other end of the canyon. Luckily they had not encountered any kinds of cave-dwelling Digimon.
Shino would explain herself to Ron when she got a chance, but right now their survival was more important.
As they got closer to the exit, they saw the opening gap of the cave, marked by connecting stone spikes like the maw to a beast. Cautiously, she looked to her radar-- not detecting anything imminant ahead of them. "I think we are okay for now..." she said, but still was cautious.

He nodded to her,rubbing the back of his head. "Yeah that's a good idea, it's what I've been trying to do, but suddenly getting another voice in your head takes a bit of time to get used to." he chuckles a bit at the apology, "It's alright, perfectly reasonable to assume that, I would probably do the same if I was in your situation." "Would that include wearing the outfit she is? If so that would probably make the other person think your crazy as well." Ron mentally sighed. "Your lucky I can't smack the back of your head for that." The spirit just laughed at that, providing no more input.
It took Ron a moment to register Vector Calling Nemesis, he blinked a few time as he looked at the two of them "...Shino, is that a nickname? Is that something that only some people can call her?" "Who knows, but asking about some girl's name is hardly something you should be doing right now, is it?" He nodded at that, "Yeah, your right, let's focus on the task at hand."
"Not being eaten?"
"Exactly!"
He looked at the spikes that where around, feeling slightly worried that they might have been walking in some beast for a very quick moment. Tossing that thought aside, he's just happy they made it out of the cave. "Yeah, we should be good, but relaxing should wait when we are at least a few miles away from here. Now then, where do we need to go... Hang on, do I still call you Nemesis, or do I switch to Shino?" He asked, not sure what to call her now.

The outside of the cave was literally the shape of a dragon's maw as they would exit. The roof and exit was carved to look like that of a dragon's , perhaps carved that way or a part of the digital world's own data for Dragon Valley. As Shino, Commandramon and Ron emerged, they were greeted to the sunlight. While still within the maze of canyons, the cave clearly gave them a much needed shortcut to avoid the enemy they ran into.
However, Shino still had no clue what part of the valley they were in. Even if she could make a Digital Gate to get back to AEGIS-- it would leave Ron there, and she wouldn't have that-- even if he was a little odd...
Of course it brought up the topic of her 'alias' as she shyly turned to Ron. "I'm sorry... My real name is Shino. My appearance here in the digital world is different than my real body. It's hard to explain... So I used my hacker alias when I am in the Digital World. It's kind of my code name. Either is fine. I am sorry, I just really didn't know you or trust you so I kept my name to myself." she explained softly, then turned to Vector. "Till someone blabbed it."
Vector sighed and closed his eyes tight. "I'm sorry Shino-Chi. I promise I will be more aware next time. " the Commandramon said.
Shaking off the situation, Shino focused to her surroundings. "We still got a ways to go before we get out of this canyon. Do you have any means to get back to the real world Ron?" she asked.
Grrrrrr....
A loud rumble like thunder could be heard as Shino stopped in her tracks. Vector stopped too and looked at his tummy. "Shino... I think I'm still hungry," he said matter of factly.
Shino turned around, her face grumpy. "Oh please! You had like 3 of those digi-meats. You had enough for now. "
Grrrrrrrrrr! The growl came louder.
Both of them stopped, then Vector blinked to Shino. "Maybe YOU'RE the one who is hungry. Why don't you have some?" he asked.
Shino's face went red and she glared angrily at Vector. "That isn't me you gear-headed Tyranno--"
The hot gust from some kind of exhaust went off and made Shino stop. Having not seen it before, she noticed an odd shadow cast over the canyon wall. The gust came again, but it was more like a hot breath...
... Shino slowly looked up and realized her horror.
SCaled on the slanted hills of the canyon walls, claws dug into the slope was the MetalTyrannomon from before. It had been there waiting, now looming over them hungrily as it waited for a chance to strike.
Both Shino and Vector looked up in silent fright, as no doubt did Ron.
"OH... Son of a bit-drive...." Vector spat out randomly.
THe beat let out a monstrous roar, once again showing its cybernetic maw overhead.
"RUN!!"

"Huh, that so? Well I'll keep calling you Nemesis while we're here. Personally though, I think Shino is a good name, but I'll respect your decision and I won't tell anyone." He said, then after she asked him about him having a way back he nodded. "Yep, I can open a portal back to the river in Shibuya, only I have to be in an open area to use it. The cave wouldn't work, but something like a cliff side will."
Suddenly he hears a growl. "Hey, what issue did you possibly have with what I just said?" He asked his spirit. "Hey I didn't make that sound, would they be reacting to it if I did?" Ron looks at them, seeing they're bickering over food. "Okay, I see your point, but then what's causing it?" His spirit chuckled, "Maybe it's your stomach?" He joked. "Man no way, I ate before we left."
Shino and Ron realized it at the same time, turning in sync to face the MetalTyrannomon looking as hungry as before, and twice as ticked off. "Oh no." He didn't need to be told to run as he bolted the moment Shino finished her yell, and he sprinted in the opposite direction of the giant Digimon.

The shout to run was honored-- one of the few things Vector actually bothered to listen to as they all high-tailed it away from MetalTyrannomon. The dinosaur gave a loud roar towards them as they ran for the edge of the canyon-- but it was a long way. There was no way they could make it and escape before the dinosaur would get to them. Even though he wasn't fast, he was large, massive and powerful. It was only a matter of time. As if to take his time, he didn't even budge or run after them. The MetalTyrannomon just stood there as he saw them scamper away like ants. Vector turned his head to see the dinosaur looking a them. " Why isn't he chasing us?" he asked. " YOU WANNA TURN BACK AND ASK HIM!?" Shino shouted as she ran to keep up with Ron. However, as this happened, the Tyrannomon raised his metallic claw outward-- a strange gasp in the center of his arm. He held it out steadily towards them, and a hum filled the air. Light began to generated deep in the hole in his claw's palm and gathered to grow brighter. Hearing the sound and seeing the glow, the two of them turned around to see the incoming power... " Oh, Defrag me!" Vector swore as he saw the attack. Alarmed, Shino reached into her pocket. She took out her Digivice, and the cards that AEGIS had given her. The Tyrannomon roared as he steadied his aim. " NUCLEAR LASER!!" he roared and released a blazing laserbeam right for Vector. The flick of a card fell to her hand as she grasped it tightly, revealing the card of a mirror-like shield on the picture. With the card held high, she soon brought it down swiftly-- and pressed the reader button beside her Digivice. The D-Tector she had shot a red laser-line over the card, scanning it in its own unique way. She scanned the card and saw the screen light up. " Digi-modify! Mirror Shield, ACTIVATE!" As the beam fired forward-- in front of Vector his rifle was replaced by a magical reflective shield. At first, the dino was confused but with the incoming attack, he held it up in front of him. THe laser blast struck and shot into the shield, but surprisingly-- the shield's reflective nature gathered the beam in its surface. Within seconds, the laser bounced back-- aimed right for the Metaltyrannomon who threw it. The laser blast crashed right into the dinosaur's arm-- causing a roar of pain from the impact. "WHAT?! You-- YOU WOUNDED ME!? YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, MORSEL!" he roared. Shino stopped and turned around, realizing they bought themselves some time. While it was not possible to really defeat it, they could defend against it and slow it down.

Ron looked back at the MetalTyrannomon, smiling when he sees it's not chasing them. " Heh, guess it hurt it's ankle or something?" " Don't be so sure, he probably has something up it's sleeve." Ron furrowed his brow, looking at the digimon again, he realized what it was going to do when it held it's palm out. " ... Ah sh-" He was interrupted by the laser heading straight for Vector. " Crap crap crap, come on get out of sleep mode, unlock and wait what is she doing?" He paused in getting on his phone for his special app, only stopping because he saw this girl slid some card in her device, she said some words, and then a giant shield appears that reflects the laser back to the MetalTyrannomon. "...Holy crap that's amazing! Can I do that, where did you-" "Not the time, Ron!" Ron was interrupted from his question asking by his spirit, snapping him back into the situation. "Right, I'll ask you later." He said to Shino, and went back to his phone, opening an app that was shaped like a device.
The phone glows for a moment, before morphing into his blue and yellow Digivice, crossing his arms into an X. "Sprite Form, Initialize!" At that, the screen on his digivice glowed, along with Ron, and he transformed into his spirit. "Gaomon!" He declared, turning back to Shino. "Okay, so what now? My moves are close range and they'll most likely just annoy him."

Vector's magic shield soon vanished the moment after the attack rebounded, vanishing from his claws. However, he soon saw that it only made the metal dinosaur even madder. "Ah-oh... too bad that was a one off..." Vector said.
The Commandramon was right. Once a card was used, she couldn't use it again for some time. And like it clearly showed, all they did was knock it back a bit. Shino had no illusions of what was happening. They didn't have a prayer to defeat it, merely fend off its attack.
It was then she heard the chatter but didn't turn as she was trying to think and keep an eye on the enemy-- till she saw the blinding light. Somehow he executed a program on his cellphone-- and in a matter of seconds, a brilliant light engulfed the boy. In Ron's place appeared a strange talking blue dog with boxing gloves. She blinked. "R-Ron?" she asked, unsure if she was seeing this right.
She knew about Spirit Users and what they could do, but never seen it happen in person. How a person could literally transform into a Digimon like that, was beyond her scope of understanding at the moment.
As the dog, now Ron transformed, asked her what to do, she didn't know. From his size she could only assume he was a rookie like Vector too. "Are you fast? Because if you get to close, he will squish you like a dog's... er, just keep your distance for now." Shino said as she saw Tyrannomon come back again for more.
It was then that the metal dinosaur made its move closer to them. Vector soon let loose with gunfire as he used his rifle to try and shoot-- but his bullets kept bouncing off the Chrome Digizoid body-- the attacks as effective as laser tag shots. "Aw nuts..." Vector grumbled as he saw the monster lift his foot up-- trying to stomp on Vector.
Shino quickly reached for another card. Finding one of Renamon, one she used in the past-- this would be a helpful one for her. "Digi-Modify! Renamon's Kohenkyo, Activate!" she shouted and scanned the card with her D-tector.
Vector's body shimmered briefly-- and vanished under the loud stomp of the MetalTyrannomon. As he thought he got the Commandramon, he felt nothing really under his foot. In a blink of an eye, Vector reappeared...
... right on top of MetalTyrannomon's nose. He looked around and turned, spotting the dinosaur's beedy eyes. "Oooh, grandpa chomper-- what big eyes you have!" Vector semi teased.
It was then that Vector hopped off-- but not before tossing one of his grenades at the dinosaur at point blank. "PRESENT GRENEADE!!" he cried and it went off.
A large bang echoed through the canyon-- but in place of an explosion, was a sudden 'splash', as the grenade caused a discharge of a black gooey substance. The grenade somehow produced an oil or tar that splashed right up against the lids of the dinosaur's eyes.
"GRRRAAAAHAHAA!! MY EYES, YOU LITTLE SQUIRT!!" the dinosaur wailed, now trying to move but he soon bumped right into the wall of the canyon, causing a violent shake.
2/5 cards used.

Ron caught that comment of the card being a "one off" before he turned into Gaomon, making sure to take a mental note of it for later. Fast forward to Shino telling him to keep his distance, he nods. " Got it, I'll just watch and wait for something I can do." He said, " I see you aren't one to just blindly rush into a fight." His Spirit commented, " This thing is bigger then my old house, no way am I gonna fight this without a plan, or opening of some kind." Ron thought. His thoughts are interrupted by the MetalTyrannomon getting closer, too close for Ron's liking, so he moves back as fast as he could, and gets out of stomping range. Ron sees Shino use another card, this time giving her partner super speed, from what he could tell. That or teleportation, because one moment he's where the MetalTyrannomon's foot now is, and the next he's on it's nose, making Ron blink a moment. "...Okay those cards are amazing, I want some." He says out loud.
When the MetalTyrannomon crashed into the canon, he took this as a good chance as any to land a hit. He runs to the giant digimon, and aims for the right leg. "Mini Tornado!" He yells, spinning fast enough to surround himself in dust from the ground.
