Justice merely exchanged a look at Turuiemon, not one of judgmental, but of skepticism. It was clear that the Digimon had other ulterior motives by deciding to help them out. But whether it was good or not, they'll just have to wait and see. So for now it was best to stay in his favors if they want to get to the Y-R District to get that vehicle.
"Alright, let's continue this talk somewhere private." Justice said. He then turned his attention to Vee and Gummy, who were most likely still conversing with Omegamon out there the last time he checked. "Alright you two, were about to head out so--"
"C'mon, Mr. Omegamon! Just one round; Us vs you. Winner takes all of the glory!"
"Yeah! Unless you're too chicken of hurting us or something!"
Justice stopped before he could finish his sentence, utterly bewildered at what was happening right in front of him: Vee and Gummy were challenging Omegamon to an arm wrestling match. Justice could only sigh in response. He knew that both brothers liked competition. Heck, he was too, but challenging a Digimon of his caliber to something like that? Well, that could only spell embarrassment if he did took upon their offer.
Noticing their Tamers present, the two dragons quickly rush to him.
"Justice, quick! Digivolve us to Champion level!" Vee asked quickly, tapping his foot in excitement.
Gummy nodded. "Yeah! We want to see how strong Omegamon really is. We can't spar here, so we figured an arm wrestling match is as close as we can get to challenging him."
"Whaddya say, Justice?"
The young man opened and closed his mouth several times, turning his gaze up to Omegamon,down and then sighing. "Ummmm... do you want to take them up on their offer before we go, Omegamon? Knowing you, you'd probably win with ease."
"Hey! Who's side are you really on here!?" The twins interjected, causing Justice to laugh nervously.

"Take your time, take your time," said Turuiemon, waving his paw in a casual fanning motion. "I'm in no rush if you aren't, and if your store's really in Y-R, I can promise you: they ain't booked. I'll be chilling over here. Do what'cha have to do."
When the tamers returned to their digimon, Alan found Levi watching the other two dragons, wearing a grin that concealed restrained laughter. "Guys," Levi called after a while, chuckling, "hey, guys! GUYS!" The blue dragon pointed to the Omegamon.
Omegamon meekly raised his claws, resembling the heads of the mighty WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. "...I have no hands."
"And doesn't arm wrestling sorta rely on the opponents having roughly the same forearm length..?" Alan noted.
"Indeed. Do not think me one to rely on excuses, of course! Even were I of compatible appendage, I would surely be too 'chicken' of hurting you, as you say! Ho ho ho! I do apologize, all said. I find myself both unable and unwilling to humor you in this way."
"Aw, that's a shame..." Levi shook his head... then seemed to brighten with an idea, shooting a devious glance at Alan. "...But if your champions are big enough, and you're looking for a knight to arm wrestle you..."
"Oh, uh, sure!" Alan took out his digivice, a blue, white, and gold D-3 (with card reader attachment,) and held it out in front of him. The device's tiny screen emitted a shimmering golden light which enveloped his small Veemon partner. Most of the light dispersed, but some of it stuck to him, reducing the appearance of Levi to a glowing, three-dimensional silhouette, which then grew, shifted, morphed into a size about halfway between Justice's twins and the Omegamon. Out of this silhouette emerged a dragon in shining armor: Magnamon.
"If I had done this earlier you would have totally thought I was the real Magnamon, you know," teased the golden knight.
"Wouldn't have held the illusion for very long, being a whole stage lower than said Magnamon. You're only Perfect, ya know!"
"Go on, buddy, call me "perfect" again, you flirt!"
"Oi..."
Levi's great tail swished gently to and fro, betraying just how pleased he was with himself, as he turned his attention back to the twins. "Whaddaya think, guys? Am I a decent substitute?"

The twins gave an unamused look at Omegamon in response of him declining their challenge, with Vee letting out a disappointed groan and Gummy merely crossing his arms, frowning.
"Yeah, but just because you have no arms, that doesn't mean you can at least try." Vee suggested, still trying to convince the Mega. "This one time, a Vegiemon challenged me to an arm wrestling match, and they have vines for arms. Seeing that, I didn't take it seriously and thought it was going to be an easy win. But oooooh no, he was super strong, so strong in fact that he accidentally threw me across the room."
Gummy started to giggle. "Oh I remember now! The look on your face when your ass got bamboozled. Priceless." The Gumdramon turned his teal eyes back to Omegamon. "But seeing as though you're too chicken of even trying, I guess we're out of luck."
The three then looked at Levi, confused at what he meant by looking for a knight to arm wrestle Omegamon. Looking around, there was no knight-looking Digimon in sight, so where was the Veemon getting this from. Well now, their question was swiftly answered when Alan took out his Digivice, the device letting out a golden light, engulfing Levi. Soon enough, the Veemon transformed into a tall. blue dragon wearing golden armor across it's body.
Justice, Vee and Gummy stood completely speechless, as Levi was no longer his small size, and now stood larger, more larger than Justice, but still smaller than Omegamon. As on cue, Justice's D-Watch began to buzz, notifying him that a new Digimon needed to be in it's database. But this time, Justice chose to ignore it, still amazed by Levi's new form.
This is a step above Vee and Gummy's Champion form. Justice thought to himself. He turned to Alan. Just what kind of experience that these two went through in order to reach that level?
After the sly banter between the two, Levi turned to Vee and Gummy, asking if he was decent substitute. In response, the two brothers jumped onto the Magnamon's shoulders, brimmed with both excitement and curiosity.
"Are you kidding me? You're not a decent substitute; you're like the permeant replacement!" Vee cheerfully commented.
Gummy nodded in agreement. "I think you're more than enough for chicken knight over there. But before you do, tell us how you got to the Ultimate level. I bet it was some near-death experience that pushed your limits over the edge, right?"

"I do apologize for my cowardice, boys," admitted the large white knight digimon, who watched in silent excitement as Levi underwent digivolution before his eyes. A polite applause followed, his large metal claws lightly clinking together. "Oh, that was positively beautiful! I daresay Ser Magnamon here has you covered, ohoho! I do jest, of course, unless you wish to be referred to as such!"
"Well," Levi scratched the back of his helmet. His blushing could not be seen too well under the helmet, but it was obvious from his manner than he was doing so. It was clear all the flattery from all sides was starting to overload his capacity to be flattered at once! "Naturally I don't mind, tee-hee, though I wouldn't want anyone to accuse me of being an imposter! Oh, um, I was actually offering to arm-wrestle you twins, but I can go with the big guy here, too, if it makes you happy!"
The Gumdramon, now taking a ride on Levi's shoulder, would ask him how it was he reached his Ultimate form. "Oh, uh, it's really nothing special..."
Alan took this opportunity to interrupt his knightly partner on this point. "Levi, wouldn't the very fact that you reached such a powerful form at all be considered something very special?"
"I... I suppose we did do something special, huh? Alright, then! Ahem! You two live mostly in the human world with Justice, right? Then I'm sure you remember the Golden Week plans, right? A bunch of digimon gathered at three different locations to formally introduce digimon to the human world, and Alan and I decided to help out. I don't know what went on with the other groups, but some of the digimon in the park had been planning to digivolve and scare everyone there, to keep digimon from making a good impression. Some of them were champions, some of them were ultimates, but there were also a bunch of friendly ones there trying to keep them from dealing too much damage, diplomatic or otherwise. Most of those digivolved right to ultimate, but I had no such luxury. I thought I'd make myself useful by talking to the champion-level assailants in my ExVeemon form. They seemed to be less keen on actually causing trouble than the others were, so after clearing up some misunderstandings, I was able to get them on our side, speaking of how we could match the power of an ultimate by banding together. Then... something unexpected happened."
"They literally banded together, merging into an ultimate digimon."
"...leaving me looking weak and confused. I had been so proud of my ability to digivolve to champion, but... it wasn't the first time everyone else was one step ahead of me. I felt so helpless. That Golden Week unveiling was something so important to me. I wanted desperately to do something else to help! And... that's when it happened. Just in time to stop the last of the ultimate assailants from getting away, opened my eyes and saw I had become Magnamon."
"Thinking back on it... you were probably one of the most heroic ones there, Levi."
"How do you figure?"
"Lacking the power to solve the issue with violence, you used pure diplomacy to get three of them on our side, and you did that much on your own. That's no small feat."
"It... really isn't, huh? That... means a lot to me. But..." The dragon man looked back to the dragons on either shoulder, putting an implied smile back on his face. "You're not here to see me work on my self-esteem, are ya? You wanna see me arm-wrestle a giant dude in armor, right?"

“Yeah, Levi,” cheered Vee, who gave the Magnamon a wide grin of excitement. “Tell us how you fought tooth and nail to reach the form you are now!” The Veemon was glad that Alan managed to convince the Magnamon in spilling the beans on how he managed to evolve to the Ultimate level. Hearing that Levi tried to not treat it like a big deal was not going to slide with him. Evolving to that level should be considered a celebration rather than a mere shoulder shrug.
The twins then listened in attention as Levi recounted the events of Golden Week, a week that the two and Justice also participated in. On their side, a bunch of Digimon we’re trying to cause havoc, same as on their side. He was able to convince most of the Digimon to switch sides, causing them to merge into Ultimate level. Feeling helpless as every allied Digimon was a step above him, Levi desperately wanted to help out through any means, no matter what. That need to help others was ultimately the key for him to digivolve into Magnamon.
Vee looked in amazement while Gummy only gave an acceptance glance. “Wow, so I guess the need to help others is the key for us to get stronger, huh?"
Gummy shrugged his shoulders in reaction to the story. “Ehh, I give that outcome a 6/10. Fine, but not too badass and exciting.” He turned to Vee. “And maybe for him it was the key, but I don’t think it will be for us."
“That’s true, but ultimately we’ll never know unless it happens. OH, that reminds me! We were also there in Golden Week, at a park where they had a statue of a dog. It was the same set up as you guys: Digimon gathered wanting to have a good time, then a bunch of bad Digimon showed up, saying that they want some payback from what DATS did in the past or something.”
“Don’t forget one of those Digimon smelled like literally ass.” Gummy added.
“Yeah, whatever. But Gummy and I had to split up, with him holding the fort because Justice had—“
Gazing at Justice, the young man had a rueful expression and turned away. Vee looked with sympathy as he didn’t tell them that Justice had left without telling them, nothing wanting to be apart of all that fighting.
“Justice had a little emergency,” he finished. “But I found him, then with the help of the other friendly humans and their Digimon, took care of the situation before they could hurt any humans.”
“After that we were taken to DATS HQ, which is a story for another time due to...secret reasons.”
“But enough about us…” Vee then jumped off of Levi’s shoulder, with Gummy following suit. The Magnamon had asked them if they wanted to see him arm-wrestle Omegamon. But Vee had something better up his sleeve.“Since we can’t wrestle Mr. Omegamon here…”
“Since he’s a giant wuss.” Gummy interject.
Vee cleared his throat. “We’ll gladly take the opportunity to test your strength. Besides, since we can’t fully spar here since we’re in the populated area, arm wrestling you is a nice substitute.”
Gummy gave the Magnamon a devious grin. “Don’t feel too bad if we beat you~”
Hearing this, Justice nonchalantly activated his D-Watch, the device lighting up in a flash of orange shimmer. A light shot out from it, splitting into two separate beams, which engulfed the two dragons in the process. The two’s silhouette grew in size, becoming taller than Justice. The light that surrounded them then started to glitter off them, with the vibrant orange light coming off their bodies and then evaporating. In their place stood a large, muscular blue dragon with an X sigal on its chest, with white wings, and a purple dragon clothed in rubberized battle armor with a tail anchor: XV-mon and Arresterdramon respectively.
“Now, do you wanna compete one on one…” The XV-mon suggested.
“Or both of us at the same time?” The Arresterdramon finished.
Justice meanwhile took a seat across from Omegamon and lean back, not enthusiastic in the slightest, with Vee reminding him of what he did in Golden Week and after still lingering in his mind.
