It seemed she never noticed the duplicate Jaguamon that was scurrying around the space out of the building's reach. Or what was left of it. Out of sight and out of mind-- the decoy of Jaguamon vanished as the illusion faded into the night.
Zachary gritted his teeth, trapped in the sphere as he had one card left. Whether she took interest in the decoy or not, it seemed Jaguamon's movements remained unnoticed as she rather talks trash and tries to 'goat' Jaguamon out of hiding. While prolonging this fight was not ideal to either side, there was a difference between stalling and patience. Zachary knew that and so did his partner.
Zachary could only make out so much-- between their shared telepathy, what garbled images he could see on his digivice, the flashes of the semi-burning building with holes around it, and the helicopters that still hovered shining their spotlights. It was more likely to show the spectators back at the arena what was going on.
We only got one shot. Come on...
Zachary watched as Amaranthus hovered in the air, now powering up even more as she spoke. Her eyes were on Zachary all this time. Zachary gripped his Digivice as she talked about Jaguamon being a scardy cat. He didn't answer her, just glaring back at her with a crossed look. They couldn't lose-- not to this witch of a Digimon.
The spotlights wandered around, eventually would graze towards Amaranthus. As the bright light shined-- it was then it happened.
Jaguamon used Shadow Step to get higher and found his ideal position. The decoy-- was meant to give some cover so he could get there and now he was in place. Hidden within the blinding light of the helicopter was Jaguamon. In position and in a spot that the Mephistomon couldn't easily see. Literally.
Now! Jaguamon's voice came to Zachary's mind. With it, he swiped his last card - Valkyrimon - with a swift slash.
At that moment, he released a volley of Lightning Arrows-- the bolts of electric light hidden in the shine of the spotlight as Jaguamon used the same trick that Amaranthus used in the beginning when she clung to the helicopter. The glare at Zachary giving him cover to hide out in the glare of the vehicle's light. No matter what defenses she would erect or power-up, a Mega level's Lightning Arrows were still going to hurt.
As the arrows would curve and aim to strike down Amaranthus, it was when that Jaguamon took action. With the arrow's rain, he jumped and flipped. Using the movement in the air-- he used shadowstep to flip over the ensuing onslaught, using its bright light and resulting impact for a proper distraction as well as its attack.
Whatever defense would come, he positioned himself with one swift and agile flip to land below and behind her at an angle. With a vertical pad of darkness below his feet, he pushed off, pounced and aimed with his claws-- now glowing with light and darkness respectfully.
He lunged with his empowered claws of darkness, hoping to use the Lightning's Arrows aftermath to strike once their hit was possible. Even with any defenses around her, he would take a leap of faith to bet his attack would do significant damage.
Twilight Claw!
Even if the slash against Amaranthus would result in damage or not-- Jaguamon would sprint away just as fast. After his last melee attack to get caught in her "Wheel of Fortune" he would attempt to get out of range and quick to not get caught by it again. He now resulted to a hit-and-run strategy, striking where he could and getting the distance away whenever possible.
OOC Notes: While Amaranthus is talking to Zachary and eyes on him, Jaguamon moved into a new position out of sight using Shadow Step to ascend higher out of her line of sight. The decoy for assurance. He waits till the light of one of the remaining helicopters shines upon her-- and strikes with Valkyrimon's Lightning Arrows. Using the arrows in the cover of the light, it would be hard to see coming at her.
Once the arrows were fired, he jumped, flipped over the target and use Shadowstep to angle and pounce once the arrows would hit. Whenever the arrows would stop-- he strikes from behind and below in a passing and fierce slash of "Twilight Claw", delivering his signature offense attack upon her and attempting to get distance just as quickly.
FYI, use of the light of helicopter would boost attack lightly (just stating it but shouldn't matter)
Cooldowns: Ancestiral Aegis :2/2 Into Darkness: 1/2
Card Used: Valkyrimon's Lightning Arrow: The target Digimon fires a spread of electric arrows that curve towards their targets.
Used Move: Twilight Claw-- Charging each claw with light in one, and darkness in another, Jaguamon slashes across an enemy, delivering both forces against the foe in an X-pattern. The resulting attack of light and dark is critical to both light and dark enemies. (Extra damage against Virus buster and Nightmare Soldier) or (Light or Dark Attributed enemies) Cooldown of 1 post.

Amaranthus was not a fool… she knew damn well now that the cat was more than likely gonna try to pull a sneak attack on her now. Why else would he have ran? The main factor was, what angle was he attacking from? What she had got out of his abilities was that teleportation ability relied on shadows, but with the building falling apart any second now the amount of available area he could safely teleport to was limited. Clutching her parasol tightly in her hands, the demoness was glaring at her surroundings trying to catch wind of the elusive feline… her eye catching Zachary slashing a card.
The unmistakable sound of electricity overhead caused the Mephistomon X to look up, a brief moment of panic on her face as she caught the faint figure of the black-furred Ultimate illuminated by the searchlights of the helicopter… for once SHE forced to go on the defense. "Shit! S-Sin Mirror!" she hissed as she realized what was coming at her, barely managing to react in time to spread out her parasol as it erected a barrier to act as a buffer against the attack. It helped sure, but even with the hardened skin that the Infermon card from prior the harsh electricity stung her with noticeable effect, the barrier only able to help block the attack partially rather than reflect it.
Her having out the parasol spread out widely was enough to at least give her some time to react to Jaguamon's fleet footwork by adjusting the barrier and having it clash against the attack… her reaction times certainly heightened it seemed! The parasol's barrier collided with Jaguamon's claws with a resounding echo. Jaguamon was quick, but was he fast enough to get away from the barrier jetting out human-sized, glass-like spikes in response to the melee attack?
She didn't waste time though… She couldn't afford to play around with this guy any longer! Regardless of Jaguamon's response, her parasol soon morphed into a calligraphic paintbrush… she with six strokes creating the kanji for "light" while keeping an eye on his movement. "Talisman of Light!" she yelled as she directed the symbol at him… should it collide, exploding into a burst of holy energy.
The real fight has only begun!
Amaranthus is forced to use Sin Mirror, using it to reduce the damage from Lightning Arrow. She manages to have the barrier clash against Twilight Claw to defend herself, it jetting out retaliatory spikes in response to the melee attack. She launches a Talisman of Light to keep the pressure up.
DA-12 Card Name: Taomon Type: Digimon Rank: Gold Duration: 1 Post Talisman of Light: The target Digimon summons Taomon's brush and paints a symbol in the air, which fires at their foe with explosive consequences.

The pincer attack would of worked but it seemed that no amount of speed or trickery could easily fool Amaranthus. This might just be a fight, fairly anyway in the realm of this tournament, that they couldn't win. She had abilities and powers that were unwordly by even Digimon standards. The shield couldn't stop the Lightning Arrows-- but it did meet with Jaguamon's Twilight Claw, his signature move that is critical to creatures like the Mephistomon...
... however, the shield erected before her and produced shards of darkness to jutt out at the incoming Jaguamon.
He tried to stop, using a pad of darkness below his feet to halt his movement-- but the blades still move forward, nicking his arm, shoulder and part of his side. A grit of pain raced through him as he backed off, realizing his attack failed to connect.
As he jutted away and jumped away to gain distance-- his parts hit shifted and moved like static on a screen-- marks of his injury. He was still in fighting condition but now the damage had begun to show on his body beyond mild scrapes. Even if the darkness would heal him as he stayed out of the light-- it was starting to show more now. If this was a fight for life and death, it would have been bad.
As the Tailisman of light came, Jaguamon had only one option as he hopped away bit by bit. He brought his paws together, forming another collection of light and shadow. "CHAOS WAVE!!" The only thing he could think of to offset the kanji projectile of light.
The blast of swirling light and darkness moved outward towards the flying Kanji-- intercepting it and meeting it with the attack's force. The size and shape would likely take the blast, using it as a means to divert damage and avoid the hit.
As the two attacks collided, causing a dangerous flash of light and seething darkness-- Jaguamon moved to keep his distance for the moment, keeping on the move to avoid being an easy target.
"Jaguamon... hang on..." Zachary grimaced, his grip so tight he could likely crack his Digivice. However, it was then it happened. The cards flashed again-- signaling they could be used again. The rules flashed in his mind as the cards were to be used over again after the first duration. "Here!" Zachary said as he swiped the card. With their mental link, he instructed him on an idea, and he would follow it.
Feeling the power flow again, Jaguamon jumped up-- and a form of 'angemon's wings, appeared behind him briefly. With a single flap-- the violent forces of wind in this now airborne area began to churn.
The resulting Omni Tornado would take shape -- aimed to surround Amaranthus. The swirling wind would surge, attacking from all sides with her in the epicenter.
OOC: Jaguamon has taken on damage from the Sin Mirror, his body showing more damage but still carries on. The result of the Tailisman of Light-- he uses Chaos Wave to meet and stop the initial impact to escape harm via the attacks' large radius.
Once moving out of the way, and cards restored, Jaguamon uses Omni Typhoon to surround Amaranthas in the twister to continue for 2 turns.
Cooldowns: Into Darkness: 2/2 complete.
Twilight Claw: 1/1 Complete.
Cards Resetted
1/7 Cards Used: Angemon Omni Typhoon: The target Digimon creates a powerful tornado that lasts for two posts.

There was no denying on either side of the fight that their opponent was doing all in their power to overcome the either... even the typically smug Amaranthus was unable to keep her mocking attitude against Jaguamon. Even with the shadow-y feline's attack colliding with her shield, she could feel the brutal impact even from the safety of her Sin Mirror.
The desperation within both combatants was showing... The brush shifted back into its parasol form, the demoness for a moment hesitated seeing them launch another one of those Chaos Waves... only to realize it wasn't being directed as an offensive attack. Sure enough, it collided with her Talisman of Light... the attacks exploding from the force of both with a deafening boom.
This rainy scenery was absolutely devastated from the power that both Ultimate level were exihibiting... What was once a habitable office building in a seemingly-human city turned to burning rubble, the amount of available footing severely limited now. Were it not a simulation, even Amaranthus would have considered this wanton destruction... unseemly.
She gripped her weapon, catching a glimpse of the tornado flung her path. It might have been only a Champion level attack, but the demoness was trying to save her stamina... even these little attacks would add up! With the bat-like wings attached to her shoulder-blades, the Mephistomon X ascended rapidly upward to avoid the full brunt of the attack... attempting to maintain a height advantage.
"This fight will be MINE!" the demoness yelled, aiming another series of swipes with the paintbrush as she unleashed another light kanji at Jaguamon, midswing finally it shifting back into its original form. She wasn't done though... aiming her freehand upwards, another barrage of colorful darkness was fired into the rainy sky... soon enough raining down in a wide area, drifting their directions in a macross spread aiming to incinerate her foe.
If the building wasn't destroyed now... it certainly would NOW. The two helicopters still monitoring the fight might have got off lucky compared to the first helicopter that was destroyed, but the shower of dark energy finally made that luck ran out... both vehicles being destroyed spectactularly in the process. With this, only the night sky, distant city lights, and burning wreckage far down below illuminated the area.
Amaranthus avoids the Omni Typhoon by flying upwards, launching another Talisman of Light before shifting her brush back into its parasol-shaped form. She has unleashed another Chorus en Mortuus to attack Jaguamon, the two remaining helicopters caught in the crossfire.
DA-12 Card Name: Taomon Type: Digimon Rank: Gold Duration: 1 Post Talisman of Light: The target Digimon summons Taomon's brush and paints a symbol in the air, which fires at their foe with explosive consequences.

Jaguamon's quick thinking allowed him to evade the effects of the Talisman of Light. Even though he was a creature of both light and dark, a direct attack wouldn't be wise at this stage. Though he got in some scrapes-- it seemed they were equally skilled and devious. Had this been in another situation, he would have teased back to her as she did to him... but his mind was focused. He had to end this, just as badly as she wanted to destroy him. This friendly competition Zachary had wanted to do had pitted them against a truly wicked and ruthless enemy. Panthermon didn't respond to her 'warcry' as she conjured the magic brush again and made his eyes widen with another assault. Just as the kanji of light formed-- Jaguamon knew how to evade as he stood on the platform of shadow he generated... ... with a simple snap of his paw-- the platform dissolved. In an instant he entered a free fall right as the attack was launched, causing the Talisman of light to shoot overhead. As Amaranthus took the high ground, Jaguamon went low as he freefell for a short duration. About 15 or so meters, he formed another pad among the rainy night-- this time at a steep angle as he used it to slide down and ease his descent, more of the pad forming as he went and the rest vanishing behind him. All the while his Omni Tornado raged with the Mephistomon flying above the vortex. Just as Jaguamon was about to jump free and find new footing-- the roar of energy caught his ears as he glanced up and saw the 'sparkle' of energy like stars in the stormy sky-- followed by the explosions of the helicopters. His eyes went wide as he jumped on an angle, angling himself away just enough but the rain of the energy came towards him. He darted left to right but it wouldn't be enough as the attack came along with the falling debris of the helicopters. Finally, he stopped on one of his platforms and faced up, seeing the attack incoming. " RRRAAAAAH!!" he roared with a jaguar's cry as the attack came. The fiery kaboom went off around where he was, now covered with smoke and debris in its place. From below, all could be seen ins the smoke and flashes of energy... ... however, what was unseen was the sheen of energy that had erected itself up around Jaguamon. His Ancestral Aegis-- brought up just in time to take the blow of the Chorus en Mortuus. It was brief as the shield took the hit--but dissolved soon after it served its purpose and the damage it could absorb gone. He let out a huff in the smoke as he quickly moved. With the helicopters gone, all that was there was the night around him-- which would heal him over time lightly. But the blast covered his movements enough as he now worked to get into position. Despite it, Zachary heard his partner's thoughts-- the two in touch as Zachary knew what the cat had in his mind. She is gonna hate this... Zachary thought as he gripped his Digivice. Oh, I'm counting on it. Zachary acted and slashed the card through his digivice, causing a bright flash. By the time Amaranthus would realize he was still alive-- she would see Jaguamon well below her-- at the bottom of the swirling Omni Twister. The shadow of a smirk was on Jaguamon's face as he held his paws out-- a fiery glow radiating between them. Smile for the birdy..." he growled and thrust his arms out. KRREEEEE!!From Jaguamon and the Valkyriamon card, the brilliant light appeared in the same fiery hawk of "Hawk Inferno" that the card possessed-- the same kind Amaranthus used before. However, this one was was far different. It let out that high piercing cry as it flew forward... ... into the Omni Tornado below Amaranthus. As it shot forward, the turbulent winds whipped and stoked the fire of the blazing hawk-- causing it to grow in size. The flames billowed, turning the winds of the tornado into a fiery vortex!! Omni Tornado wasn't meant to do real harm to the goat girl... ... it was to act as a wind-funnel to amplify the intensity and power of a mighty fire attack. The winds stoked the flames, turning the already powerful Hawk Inferno into a far larger, raging inferno that would do far more damage than the mega-level attack could do alone. By the time it would fly out-- the entire tornado would be enflamed and the hawk would become a massive phoenix like Zhuqiaomon, as it charged right for Amaranthus with a fiery fury that would illuminate the expression on her face. OOC Notes: Jaguamon got away from the first Talisman of Light-- but was now faced with the second (that was a surprise). To evade, he dissolved his own Shadowstep platform and drops, evading the attack with a free fall. As he forms a pad to slide downward as she goes up-- the energy seeking attack comes and destroys the remaining helicopters and towards him. Using what time he could, he tries to 'evade' but among the helicopter destruction-- he uses Ancestral Aegis to take the energy attack that comes at him, successfully blocking it. However, using the cover of the wanton destruction, he reaches his goal. The bottom end of the Omni Tornado he created. He uses Valkarimon's Hawk Inferno and lobs it into the Omni Twister. The violent winds of the twister propelled the flaming hawk projectile upward-- and the winds stoke the fire of its form, turning the tornado into a flaming vortex and amplifying the hawk's power and size as it would attempt to strike Amaranthus. (A fun combo that worked out.) Card Used: 2/7 Valkarimon's Hawk Inferno: The target Digimon launches a flaming hawk forward, which relentlessly tackles its opponent. (Used Omni Tornado as a booster ) Cooldown:Ancestral Aegis spent: Begin cooldown. Chaos Wave: 1/2

Amaranthus's own temper was showing as the battle... gone was the facade of a noblewoman, now just an infernal mockery of humanity's sins. It was clear from the demoness's movements that she was no longer trying to toy with Jaguamon, but now? She was now on a warpath... one that would have had murderous intentions were it not for the laws of this battlefield.
She sneered at his constant evasive maneuvers... nimbly escaping death by a hair manipulating the shadowy platforms he conjured. It was a troublesome ability, but how long could he realistically keep it up? It would only take one good slip-up to put him into a tricky situation... with little ground left besides a multi-dozen story drop to the ground to fight in, it didn't take a fool to recognize that high-stakes were at hand... provided you didn't have wings.
Another irritating use of that barrier shield a blast from her Chorus en Mortuus... He was putting a lot of effort into avoiding her attacks, but the gaps between his own were frequent. If she were immobile, she might have fell for their trick regarding launching Valkyriemon's attack down below her... but she wasn't.
Mega level attacks might be strong, but no amount of strength can compensate poor craftsmanship. Seeing the attack launched at the tornado down below gave Amaranthus ample time to take evasive action, nimbly barrel-rolling as her the demonic wings that carried her sped with all their might as soon enough, the bellowing flames of a phoenix burst from the remainder winds of Omni Typhoon. She could feel that intense heat meters away, but it descending into a vertical u-turn would give the demoness time to evade the flaming projectile as it sped past her... not a hair's breath too soon either.
The Mephistomon X's flaming eyes seemed to intensify, almost spewing out of the ewe's skull's eyeholes. Ooh... She was quite mad. The feline's hit-and-run style was working to some extent, but the fiend was soon giving chase to the cat, keeping a bead on him. "Your not going ANYWHERE!" Amaranthus yelled as she aimed one of Keramon's Data Blasts as she gave chase... but not quite directly at Jaguamon. Mid-jump to one of the pads, Jaguamon will quickly find the pad destroyed before he could land on it! Sure it wouldn't actually damage him, but it was more than enough to possibly slow him down...
A hateful gaze in her eye, Amaranthus would as she reached close-range aim a thrust with her hand at Jaguamon... one that if it touched him would feel as if his very soul was grappled, before being torn out painfully. Needless to say, he'd certainly as hell feel it if he didn't dodge.
Amaranthus keeps on the move to avoid the wrath of Hawk Inferno, launching a Data Blast at one of the shadowy-pads Jaguamon has been using to try and slow him down. Reaching close-range, she aims a Payment Due directly at him.
Payment Due - Mephistomon X places her palm directly onto a foe… before tearing out a chunk of their life essence, devouring it shortly after. Deals damage and restores an equal amount of health to Mephistomon X. (Cooldown: 3 Turns)

That should of worked. Even speed alone couldn't outrun a mega level attack powered up like that. But she did.. and so the fight dragged on. Even so the heat wouldn't leave her unscratched. Panthermon kept on the move as he tried to avoid her incoming assault... ... but her use of the rookie card's trick did throw his plan off. She aimed right at the pad he would of stepped on. The pads responded to where he wanted to move, created by his mind and need where he imagined them to appear. It didn't destroy, but the shock was enough to throw him off balance and he entered another freefall. Damn it... Panthermon swore in his mind, which Zachary instantly heard. Don't give up! Zachary's voice came to his mind. If your still in this, then so am I! I know you won't give up, and I won't give up on you! The two-- tamer and digimon-- were united as any other. Connected. Amaranthus now charged in, attempting to make contact with Jaguamon with a swift grab for his chest. Whatever she was gonna do-- it wasn't going to be good, and like Jaguamon said, he wanted to avoid direct contact with her whenever possible. With her lunge, Zachary acted. " Digi-Modify! Keramon, Activate!!" he shouted, using the same card that the Mephistomon X used. At that instant, Jaguamon extended a paw towards her-- and from the center, cables shot out like a spider's web. With his target moving right for him, there was no real way that she could avoid it. The cables would ensnare her outstretched arms, about to try and reach him. The cables would no doubt be strong, even with the minuscule amount of electricity running through them... ... but instead of an attack, Jaguamon tugged the cords hard in his descent. The were-jaguar used the cords to pull himself up and entered a flip-- up and over Amaranthus before she could make contact with him. The panther was agile and acrobatic as any feline would be, even without the use of his 'Shadowstep' pads. His flip had him upside down as he loomed right behind and overhead Amaranthus-- his claws now aglow with light and darkness. He aimed right for her back-- where the wings were connected and struck. TWILIGHT CLAW!!" he roared, slashing into her back with all the force he could muster as the light/dark claw attack would attempt to strike for a critical hit-- or at the very least, attempt to destroy her wings and make her plummet out of the fight. His flip would land him a small distance away-- another Shadowstep Pad forming on the space in the air to keep him from falling further and enough distance away to react... should she try something else. OOC Notes: Jaguamon loses his balance thanks to Amaranthus well placed attack to him mid-step. However, as she flies in for the 'kill'-- Zachary uses the same Keramon card to conjure the cables/ wires aimed for her outstretched claws. Using the likelihood of an incoming physical assault, the cables would latch on to her-- and just enough for Jaguamon to pull and enter an acrobatic flip up and over her. Upside down, he uses Twilight Claw to strike at her back , ideally to the small of her back for a solid hit and to destroy her wings. Twilight Claw would do critical damage to her-- and perhaps destroy her wings to prevent flight. This cat really does have nine lives Twilight Claw-- Charging each claw with light in one, and darkness in another, Jaguamon slashes across an enemy, delivering both forces against the foe in an X-pattern. The resulting attack of light and dark is critical to both light and dark enemies. (Extra damage against Virus buster and Nightmare Soldier) or (Light or Dark Attributed enemies) Cooldown of 1 post. Card Used: Keramon Corruption Cable: The target Digimon launches several wires from it's body that entangle the foe and send a dark current through their body.

Amaranthus didn't expect for her target to actually stay still long enough to reach him... He was extremely evasive, which made close-combat difficult. It rendered some of her more deadly techniques difficult to pull off, though she still had some tricks up those collared sleeves of hers... even against the feline's own tricks.
When brute force doesn't work... just apply more of it until it does.
Cables sent out to ensnare her... Surely up to no good. The demoness sneered at the sight of the wires as they were sent outward. Rather than continue her Payment Due... she opted for a different approach at the sight of the attack. Energy-gathered at her finger tips, she unleashing a point-blank Black Sabbath to instead obliterate the cables... it still cruising along destructively, threatening to hit Jaguamon if he attempted to get closer.
Without the cables to hinder her, it would have been easy to backpeddle to avoid the panther's cowardly strike at her backside... a flap backwards causing her to descend rapidly. She was actually starting to run out of new techniques and uses of her abilities to throw at Jaguamon... but the fight's peak was nearing, and with it... her coveted victory in sight.
"Run. Thats all you CAN do." the demoness growled with a vile fury. Clenching her darkness-empowered fist, she soon took a defensive formation with her parasol. Pointing the parasol at the Ultimate level, it formed a spiked-tip as it rocketed off to attack... it laced with that same corrupt energy as Black Sabbath.
Amaranthus has canceled her melee attack to flow into Black Sabbath and destroy Corruption Cable before it reaches her (threatening to hit Jaguamon as well). She has taken a defensive position and launched a Harpoon Torpedo.
DS-06 Card Name: Ikkakumon Type: Digimon Rank: Silver Duration: 1 Post Harpoon Torpedo: Fires one missile from the top of the target Digimon's head.

Jaguamon wasn't running away. He had no desire for this thing to go as far as it had. Now he knew what his enemy was capable of and wasn't about to let himself get into any trap she had. WIth Zachary's keen use of cards, he could easily avoid any major hazard she would try to throw. ANd he knew what was coming... that dark aura that had him trapped moments ago. Any moment know, he knew he would have to contend with it once she regained his strengths. His attacks up till now would of been to end it but both dark Digimon were equally resourceful and clever. Whatever attacks one launched, the other made a fair counter to evade or strike back. And those attempts to end the battle failed it seemed... which mean that insane aura would be back soon and Jaguamon knew he couldn't afford to get caught twice.
Such as now that she tore out the cables to use a blast of 'BLack Sabbath". That move he knew all too well, but it wouldn't halt him from continuing one last move. He heard Zachary's thoughts and knew what was going to happen.
"Digi-Modify! " Zachary shouted, slashing the card through. "Taomon's Talisman Spell activate!"
Once again, Zachary used Taomon's shield which created a dome of energy around Jaguamon just in time. The Black Sabbath went off, exploding with chaotic results around him, but separated by the shield. As the shield took the blast. However, it didn't account for the sudden launch of the missile of the Mephistomon's card that came flying at him.
Jaguamon wasted no time. His balance restored, even after the failed swipe to Amaranthus' back, he finally got his 'footing' on Shadow Step and vaulted right over the incoming missile, hoping over it as if it was a vault-horse. With the missile shooting behind him, he now made a new move.
Moving in a jagged pattern, he moved in leaps and bounds towards her-- then ducked low underneith, to get her out of sight-- just in time as his paws glowed again with light and darkness.
" I don't run from the likes of you. I corner you! " he roared and thrust his paws outward. "Chaos WAVE!!"
Another roar of light and darkness clashed and erupted in a spiraling wave right for her, attempting to strike her at a relatively close distance so she couldn't evade or block easily...
OOC: Zachary uses Taomon's Talisman Spell shield card to protect Jaguamon from Black Sabbath attack, negating the attack. As for the Harpoon Torpedo, he uses Shadowstep to leap just up and over as it came, like a vault over the projectile. As it would fly by, he charged in and lept under the goat. With a strong declaration, he uses another Chaos Wave-- firing it off towards her and hopes to strike her off guard while also being aware of her other tricks.

Please don't talk outloud if you are trying to be sneaky... Amaranthus internally groaned, tiring of the cat's misdirecting nature. How many bloody times was he gonna try this shit?! It caught her offguard that first time, but the constant attempts to try to shake her off his trail was just getting infuriating at this rate… She wasn't even putting the effort to aiming her attacks as much frankly besides just his general direction, what with him constantly shielding or evading those attacks. He couldn't dodge forever though… he was going to eventually drive himself into a corner like she was very briefly, but could those cut-rate, bargain bin attacks of his match hers?
Jaguamon launching a Chaos Wave at close range wouldn't give her time to dodge in time… but really, he shouldn't be so gungho like this when she still had cards as well! Her strongest cards were still fresh to be used, and use she shall!
Fire within the demoness's hands built up dramatically, she unleashing a large hellstorm of avian-shaped fire forward towards the attack and Jaguamon… Hawk Inferno and Chaos Wave clashing very briefly, but ultimately her attack won out with the increased attack power and level gap in technique. Jaguamon was a quick little guy, but quick enough to dodge something at such a close-range as he put himself into?
As the demoness dusted her hands, she made a bold move to begin to rapidly descend downward, keeping an eye on if the kitty decided to pull a disappearing act as he seemed to have a hankering to do… several dozen meters down to be hovering a few imaginary stories from the ground and burning wreckage that once was the building their battle took place on.
As far as this fight was going, Jaguamon wasn't going to make progress without approaching her… but that alone was a dangerous notion, and Amaranthus bloody well knew it. She would simply wait… ready to see what the pantherman's next move, sneering to herself as she slightly surveyed her damaged attire.
He would know what she could do… but what can be done to go against those tricks?
Amaranthus has used an empowered Valkyriemon's Hawk Inferno to overpower Chaos Wave and threaten to hit Jaguamon. She has took to descending downward, hovering several dozen meters from the burning ground down below.

The Chaos Wave clashed violently with the mega level attack of the flaming bird. Both Tamer and Digimon were surprised by the explosion. In reaction, Zachary took his next card, swiping the Infermon card once more. Much like the last time, he used its secondary ability to harden Jaguamon's body against the oncoming assault. The flames hit as his attack was naturally overpowered, even if mitigated slightly-- it stood no chance against the Valkarimon's attack power.
As the flames went off, Jaguamon was forced back, and 'skidded' to a stop on a pad of darkness now overhead the flaming remains around them. Smoke wafted off his body, if burned any sign was not shown due to his black fur. However, the sheen of the hardened body soon revealed, having raised his defense enough. A growl escaped Jagaumon as he rose up, now facing Amaranthus face to face from a distance.
The sheen of the defense boost faded briefly, but now the fight had reached an exhaustible limit for both enemies. No matter how cool or collected the fight was, the battle had taken its toll. Zachary was still in the shield high above, to the point he could barely see the two and what they were doing. He only knew what was going on via his Digivice and the telepathic connection he shared with Jaguamon. A small calm came now as Jaguamon rose up to face the Mephistomon. "Guess you weren't all talk after all. You are a lot sharper than you act to be. " he stated, giving a comment to his foe. "It's a shame there can only be one winner in this. But I am not about to let my tamer down. Not without giving it my all..." he said aloud.
It was then that Jaguamon flexed his paws, revealing his sharp claws. He soon took a position on all fours, taking the form of a true jaguar.
From above, Zachary looked in alarm. "Jaguamon... What are you doing?! Don't charge right in there! That's suicide!" he cried, banging the wall of the bubble to try and reach him.
Despite the warning, Jaguamon glared at his target, his eyes fixed on Amaranthus' eyes and movement-- determine to take his final actions to end this. Of all the chances he had and failed, he couldn't-- wouldn't let this one fail easily. He knew his partner and knew just what they had to do.
With a jaguar's growl, Jaguamon took off for a straight dash with his claws drawn. Nothing special about was about this attack now as he now resorted to a seemingly mauling-melee oriented attack. While not practical, it appeared to be a last-ditch effort. Logic failing to beastly instinct.
However, in the midsts of the approach, darkness-- crimson red darkness glowed from a single claw. The haunting darkness of night manifested as Blood Rite, a darkness attack meant to do damage and steal the energy of the victim like a 'blood sacrifice' as the Aztecs did.
OOC Notes: Zachary uses Infermon's Raised Status to add to his defense. The explosion goes off from the combine attacks and though, with the raised Status effect, Jaguamon is lightly burned a bit from the resulting explosion but the hardened body aided in lessening the damage. Between his regenerative powers in the night and his actions up to now, he still stands.
After some dialog with the enemy, he readies a dash towards the enemy. Claws drawn, he attempts a melee-mauling attack to try and strike Amaranthus. A faint-- to reveal his darkened claws coated in darkness to reveal "Blood Rite" All the while he keeps a keen eye on his enemy, anticipating another counter-attack.
Cards Used: Infermon's Raised Status to increase defense against attack blowback.
Cards used: 5/7
Blood Rite-- Jaguamon's claw glows a crimson red with dark and ancient power. Akin to the nature of Aztec blood sacrifices, Jaguamon strikes an enemy with the crimson claw he wields. He deals considerable damage to his enemies, and when successful 50% of that damage is added to his health as a recovery. Cooldown is 2 posts.
