”...That means it goes down further. Or… hmm.”
"... Actually, I hadn't considered that possibility." The Wizardmon blinked. "Its true. Any soil or rock displacement is probably greatest near the base - perhaps it plateaued somewhat when it reached this elevation. My initial thought was that somebody else had cleared out a path to find this place, but I guess, would they really even have had to?"
Mae, right now, was proving that they could enter into the lower tower relatively easily via portal! Before they would just step on in, though, the Wizardmon would address Skadi's remarks first: "That level of intel should definitely prove useful. Let's get an idea of what the structure of the first room is like, and I'll give a recommendation from there. And don't worry." The Wizardmon nodded to Colin. "There's a reason why we were asking for the levels we were. Strict firepower is a good thing to have on hand." Past that?
It wouldn't take long for the group to meet up on that initial floor. It was, more-or-less, exactly how Mae had envisioned it: dark, uninviting, and the walls were crammed with electrical equipment, some running and some still stuck away in boxes, used largely for storage space. The outer walls were drawn on with Digital Script, but the walls themselves didn't have the same color from the outside. Rather, they were able to see straight through the tower from the outside, to the rocky walls past it, the only opaque structures being the ceiling above them and the floor underneath.
Wizardmon would step forward, curling his hands around his staff: "I'm going to sweep this room quick. Fair warning, cover your nose and ears if you don't want this to be too annoying. Three, two, one... Scrying Sands!"
Briefly, the room would feel like a small, thin sandstorm, with wind rushing in one direction and thin, loose, hot particles brushing through the air. In a combat context, this room seemed incredibly weak - but as the winds blew on by, the digital script on the walls began to pop and fade away - and even an invisible 'something' would appear for a second, a white orb in the center of the room, before popping and vanishing.
"Hm... looks like that was some sort of detection spell. Looks pretty 'simple' compared to the tower glyphs, though." The Wizardmon considered his options, then nodded to Skadi. "Go ahead and fall through the floor for one level, and scout out the area. Mae, keep an eye on the floor directly above us, let us know if there's anything we need to worry about. Colin, your group and Silence will watch the downward ramp. Be ready to run on down if it looks like things are going poorly." Mae's Vision - Simplified
The immediate floor above them wasn't much to write home about.
Several unopened cardboard boxes were available to look through, but much of it was simply electrical equipment. Communication devices, alarms that weren't put together, lighting that looked like it was to be set up for the tower... it looked to be the 'wrong direction' to go for anything interesting. There were more boxes on the floor above than the one they entered on, suggesting that this was about the deepest that any machine reached to store their equipment. Down, then, was the direction of interest.
One floor down, they would have probably heard any sort of active fight that was going on - metal wasn't the best at nullifying sound - but it was definitely the location of a recent fight. The floors were cracked, boxes and wires were strewn about, and a few dents in the walls made the view outside look just a bit warped. At the end, about in the middle of the room, was a Black BishopChessmon (X), on one knee...
... And, honestly, quite the particular figure behind him. (X) Adjusting his glasses, and dusting off his cloak, this man would walk up behind the disabled BishopChessmon, and press his index finger against the back of his armor. A faint white light would radiate from the finger, and he'd scrawl something in Digital Script, on the machine's back.
"... Rebooting..." The BishopChessmon's mechanical voice radiated out. It would stand, and turn to face the man. "Hello, Administrator. Please provide request."
"On me. Scan each floor as we approach below, and advise how many defenders there are per floor."
"Please define undefined term: 'Defender'."
"... I'm really going to have to be that specific, huh..." He shook his head, burying his head into his palm. "Why'd the first one have to be here..."

Okay.
There was a part of Mae that was legitimately not expecting something like that to actually work and provide them with a way through the wall, but the way forward was now present and accounted for.
"Nifty. I'm not as equipped for stealth, but we could absolutely make use of those capabilities once we're through this and in the structure proper."
So, what lay next was for everyone to get through and to meet up. Once they had all done that (ironically enough just like the vision Mae had had before the latest one), there was another direction to follow. Down. This was after Mae had a sandstorm to cover her nose through. Oh, and eyes too. "Floor immediately above looks like a storage unit. Down's the way we might want...?" At least if that was to be believed.
It was strange when her foresight wanted to be goddamn benign. The Rasielmon kept following the party, but...when they came upon the aftermath of a fight, things got a touch strange. At least that's what was being looked at.
What the hell was that human doing?
It seemed like they pretty much stole a BishopChessmon from the tower's...menagerie of however many mechanical Digimon it held in it's employ. "What...am I looking at?" Mae found herself saying out loud. This was something she hadn't exactly heard of, or seen, so...it naturally elicited a reaction like that. "And first one what?"
Oh fucking hell was she actually going to approach whoever this individual was? "Pardon me, but....what's all of this?"

Things were looking good from here; with Mae, Colin, and the Wizardmon all giving Skadi the nod in regards to her suggestion for her SilverGrademon form, all they had to do now was, as soon as they got through, get her up and running to help put her foot through the door. The two looked at each other and nodded once, and as they stepped through the portal and into the tower, Kenny's Digivice would give off a faint white glow, with Skadi following suit not even a moment later.
While 'robotic' wouldn't exactly be the first word to come to mind regarding the SilverGrademon stepping inside with her Tamer, her shiny, metallic armour would at least help ensure a sort of persona to her; at worse, all she'd expect from the potential robotic onlookers she expected to encounter would be them simply raising a metaphorical eyebrow towards her relatively unassuming form.
"Jesus Christ..." Kenny found himself unconsciously muttering as he and Skadi took their initial glance around the tower inside. As he himself took his first look at the tower, more questions started to emerge in his head; how could they make this in just one day? From out of nowhere? And why? His initial gut feeling, born from his initial introduction to the massive tower, reared up once more inside him; something didn't feel right.
Just what was going on?
Those thoughts had to come later; one nose pinch and eye covering (Skadi needn't worry; her top-notch eyesight protected herself already from detrimental conditions like this, rain or shine) to withstand the short-lived sandstorm later, and the supposed 'detection spell' as the Wizardmon called it, would clear away. Perfect. She gave a simple nod over to the Wizardmon, before, with just a simple tap of her gem, she'd turn invisible, and make her way towards the ramp downstairs first, leaving the others to deal with what was ahead. She ensured her steps would remain as quiet as possible, just to ensure she couldn't raise alarm.
That just left Kenny to go follow the rest of the group downstairs below, on Mae's suggestion. And the moment he stepped in, his eyes widened in surprise at the site beholding the group. "Place looks like a bomb hit it or something. What happened here?" He muttered again, before his sight lay on something... odd.
A human? Casually reprogramming a BishopChessmon with relative ease? Who was he, exactly? Was he the guy behind the tower itself? The sounds of a possible battle nearby did not help his nerves in the slightest, but he had to stay strong. He took the time to clear his throat, before proceeding to address the mysterious man, "Please, don't be alarmed. We're not here to attack you. We're here to talk with you, ok? But she's right. What is all this, anyways?"
As for Skadi?
The sounds of the battle nearby gave her a little 'twitch' inside. For a brief moment, she would lean close to the wall, aiming to hear what had happened. Yet she still kept moving. If there was nothing of note to spot, she'd stay near the wall for now, probably see what was going on.
But otherwise? She kept one eye out for whatever interesting, or concerning, she could possibly spot.
All Skadi's relevant passives to this situation in no particular order: Ethereal Being (Non-combat Passive): In this form, Skadi can change her form from solid to ethereal. This can allow her to pass through walls, and other solid objects. However, this does not automatically give her immunity from attacks, and she takes damage like any other Digimon.
Keen Eye (Passive): Being a skilled swordswoman has it’s benefits. So that means that she gets a 1.3x boost to accuracy. This also allows her to see perfectly fine where she otherwise wouldn’t, including fog, smoke, and other weather conditions.

For now, even if they couldn't really take a direct approach forward, Colin was happy with the role he and his partners had here. They could remain a power in reserve that any opposition would not know about until the time was right for them to act, and they'd be able to do so effectively. Luke understood this principle well, while Bellamy was a little bummed at simply being the "reserve", but hid his disdain for the sake of his partner and brother.
Thankfully the journey through Mae's portal ended with them safely on the other side, beholding a room filled with electrical equipment. The trio were fascinated by the effect of the opaque walls momentarily, but their attention drew back to Wizardmon as he warned them that he was about to sweep the room with a magical technique. Colin and his partners had been through enough to heed his warning and the three of them used their scarves to cover their noses and used their hands to block their ears as the magical sands swept the room.
It seemed that Wizardmon's spell had fairly well cleared out the room of some kind of detection orb. Once that was done, he instructed Skadi to go down one level, Mae to go up one level, and for Colin, his partners and Silence to watch the ramp that led downward and wait.
As they did so, Bellamy grew a little more on edge as the seconds ticked by. "Should we maybe evolve to Ultimate at least, Colin?" he asked his partner.
"Not for the moment, Bells." Colin answered the Impmon. "Me evolving you guys before it's needed could draw unneeded attention toward us. I think it'd be best if I only evolve you guys if we're in confirmed danger."
Bellamy scowled a little at this, he hated being prone at his Rookie level like this in such a dangerous place, but, if it was his partner's wish, he'd go with that plan.
Luke meanwhile took this moment to glance around the room at the electrical parts. Of course, he couldn't take the opportunity to inspect them closely, but, their existence still made him curious. He hoped they'd be able to come across some clues soon, hopefully without raising the alarm.
But for now, the trio would watch and wait, knowing their roles here.

”Maybe they had? Maybe they didn’t. We won’t even get a clue until the end of this. Or until we find who did this.”
Silence set a hand on the sword at her waist and mulled things over; this was just such a strange occurrence that she had to wonder what they’d do once this was over. Would the tower still be here or were they going to be able to remove it… If it could even stick around.
Once inside well, the initial sweep was quick and then further still? The wizardmon wanted to sweep it further. She’d flip up her hood and then put a hand over her nose as he cast that spell. The thin sandstorm swept past and once over? She’d shake her fur to get rid of as much as she could.
Seeing the white orb appear for a moment the shutmon’s hand would flash down to her sword, ready to fight at a moment’s warning but once it was gone and the wizardmon addressed that? Well… They weren’t going to be getting through this easily would they? Someone would get alerted and they’d have to fight that self same someone.
The shutmon flicked her ears, apparently mae had other plans than what the wizardmon wanted. She’d sigh a bit and shake her head. She was ready and rarin to go and would follow directions. Technically speaking she was a newbie when it came to luminas regime nonsense so she’d just do as she was told for the moment.
”All right.”
She wasn’t going to go nuts just staring down the ramp, even though both skadi and mae were gone at this point. She’d fold her arms and lean up against the wall. Hearing that question and letting out a small thoughtful hum.
”They know our initial party but not what we’re capable of. I wouldn’t be surprised if we run into a higher level danger though.”
The shutmon rubbed at her chin and glanced at the wizardmon.
”How simple are we talking about in terms of detection? You say simple but I'm not super aware of what a simple spell is capable of.”

Really? Was the top floor that uninteresting?
"Very well, go ahead and assist with the bottom floor, then. We will hold up here for a moment longer to ensure no-one's at our backs." Better safe than sorry, in this case, but Wizardmon didn't direct anyone else to check upstairs. If there was little point to travel in that direction, then there would be little point in expanding the group's footprint. For the moment, the sorcerer would remain behind with Colin, Luke, Bellamy, and Silence. "I'd have to agree with Colin - expanding your data signal at this point is like setting off a beacon. And... hm." Silence asked a decent question!
"Honestly, that's difficult to explain without having a decent foundation in magic. I would call it something similar to a 'wire trip' - basically, what it would do is activate if anyone crossed into a specific part of the room - I would guess the ramps - and send a signal out to the tower. Presumably, to either activate its defenses or to signal for a guard."
Was that a decent enough explanation? Taking a quick look towards the up-ramp, the Wizardmon would give a shrug: "No negative signals from down below, either. Let's get back with the group." Whereas the top floor was relatively free of the paranormal, 'one lower' had taken a completely different turn. The man hadn't noticed the group until Kenny and Mae had spoken up, and on reflex, he turned to face the group, taking a half-step back, careful eyes scanning the group in front of him.
"... Humans?" As Kenny spoke, and as Colin and Wizardmon joined up with the group, the BishopChessmon would stir to live: "Level Six Security-"
"All clear. Disregard security protocol."
"Confirmed."
The machine's raised staff would plant right back at his side, as the supposed human gave a sigh. "Right, right. I suppose that a giant tower would have drawn attention at some point... guess I should be more surprised that the rest of you didn't beat me here."
He was strange. Despite his appearance, he seemed to regard humans as somewhat a foreign concept, speaking as if he was part of a different group. A Digimon in a holosuit, perhaps? But why would he bother wearing one all the way down here? "This," he tapped the BishopChessmon's back, "Is a defensive automoton that I've just stolen from the tower. As for what the rest of this is, no idea. All I know is that its nothing good and that the Tower's got no qualm with attacking seemingly-defenseless figures trying to get to the base."
"Fascinating, honestly." The Wizardmon stepped out, giving an honest chuckle! "But... I don't think that explains why you're here?"
"Giant tower sprouts up in the middle of nowhere, and you're surprised someone else is checking it out?" Well, if that wasn't a deflection, then nothing was! "Either way, it sounds like we're going to be trudging along in the same direction. I'm sure you lot want to figure the rest of this out as well?"

Post by Mae on Jul 3, 2020 7:17:31 GMT
From what Mae could tell, there wasn't much to expect from the top floor for RIGHT NOW, really. The future was malleable, and could shift at any given moment by the tiniest of stimuli. That much was certain.
Of course, she had the feeling that maybe she shouldn't have come as Rasielmon. But...Hm. She could adapt on the fly. She always could, really. Turning one's attention to the happenings on the bottom floor, however.
Kenny and Mae had nearly gotten a BishopChessmon (that lacked some sapience!) angry at them. Well, this was a little awkward as a result. "We really only didn't come in here sooner because we met up before venturing in here." She looked to the BishopChessmon and let out a 'hm.' Automaton digimon weren't something Mae hadn't heard of, but she had never had the pleasure (or displeasure) of seeing one in action.
...
It was kind of creepy. Felt like artificial life in a sense. Yet, Mae noticed the strange...lack of regard towards humans. This was also a human, right?
...Something that required further observation. Mae made a mental note to inform her party to keep an eye on the man. "Similar direction, sure. For the same purpose? Not so sure. But there isn't any sense in going alone." Help was, as they say, help.
Turning to everyone else present...
"...Your thoughts?"

Post by Kenny O'Hara and Skadi on Jul 4, 2020 1:37:59 GMT
For a moment, Kenny's heart started to skip a beat as the robotic BishopChessmon became quick to cry foul at their mere presence, but thankfully, it would quickly pass, the mysterious man himself quick to stop them before all Hell could break loose. Externally, he would nod in agreement with Mae's comments.
Internally, Kenny just muttered to himself, "Oh thank God."
His focus fell more upon the mysterious man as he himself explained the robotic BishopChessmon and his concerns about the tower. Already, he had a gut feeling something was off here. No way could a mere flesh and blood human find their way into the tower and manage to steal a Perfect-level guard completely unscathed. There didn't even look to be a scratch or scar on his body.
But Mae did raise a good point; it wasn't exactly wise to go this alone. All he could do here was to simply nod and agree, and, if possible, follow along, "She's right. We're not exactly so sure what's really out there other than the type of Digimon present. We say it's best we accompany you so at least you and BishopChessmon don't run the risk of being heavily overwhelmed."
"Sound good?"
Like Kenny before her, Skadi's heart also skipped a beat as she heard the BishopChessmon cry out in alarm, and quickly, she would raise an arm, ready to summon a shield at any moment the second something went wrong. But the mysterious man(?) being quick to stop them made her breathe a sigh of relief internally. Still, with the others distracting the two with their talk, she quietly pulled out her D-Nexus from her Infini-Store and pointed it at the jet black guardian as it poked out of the cube, hoping to at least garner some information.
Other than that? Nothing of interest... yet. All she had to do was keep going, hope the others kept the man and the BishopChessmon distracted while she sought out clues. There had to be something, anything nearby that would give the group the answers they sought. Yet, she kept one ear out on what they had to say. If the group were to follow the mysterious man, then she would follow them from behind.
Nothing else to say here other than who was that mysterious man, exactly?

Bellamy's discomfort was alleviated just a little by Wizardmon backing up Colin's decision not to evolve him. Yeah, that made sense. They were mainly here for recon. If they were here to charge in, guns blazing, that would be another matter. As much as the Impmon would have liked that, well, they were here to find answers, not necessarily fights. So he was content for now to play his role seriously.
Next, they paid attention to Wizardmon's answer to Silence about the security in this place. It seemed to be some sort of magical wire trip. This caught Luke's attention immediately. "Is there any way we can detect these "wire trips" beforehand, without magic and without triggering them?" the Elecmon asked, thinking this was something of an urgent question. "We don't want to trip any of them after all."
It seemed that they would be moving toward the level below. Colin, Luke and Bellamy held their positions as the reserve, none of them moving too far beyond the main party.
There was a very tense moment as it seemed that they had triggered a security check via a BishopChessmon, but, somehow, the check had been deactivated. Their attention turned to the human next to them that had called for the security to be disabled. Colin blinked for a moment, wondering how in the world another human could be here.
While Luke regarded the human cautiously, Bellamy decided to be openly sociable. "Heh, ya got that right. Towers like this showin' up outta nowhere, usually screams "boss dungeon" or something like that. Anyways, the name's Bellamy, this is my brother Luke and my partner Colin. Nice to meet ya."
Colin realized that Bellamy was treating this new guy amicably. Hopefully in doing so, he'd be friendly in response. After all, they had no reason to suspect him of anything sinister.

The shutmon flicked her ears and watched the ramp with her arms crossed. She had a thought that this entire situation was a bit strange. She couldn’t really recal anything about towers like this. Even hearing the reports about the dark towers didn’t lead to anything similar. No suppression fields and by the looks of it they had a pretty good amount of freedom here. She’d grit her teeth a bit and gritted her teeth.
”Makes sense. So best that we be very cautious proceeding.”
Silence took in the information that the wizardmon gave her like a sponge, not even hesitating to start walking down the ramp. Luke’s question was pretty damn good but silence didn’t know the answer to it; if they could discover them before they were tripped that’d probably be in the wizardmon’s bucket of skills and not theirs.
The party wasn’t even split up for very long, with them catching up to mae, kenny and skadi well… Now it seemed that they had another two pair of faces. A human and a BishopChessmon. Hearing the security nonsense silence’s hand rested on the pommel of her sword. She was ready to go at a moment’s notice.
The humans deflection of the wizardmon’s question didn’t help his case and silence stared at him for a few moments. Assessing him; she didn’t get the vibe of a digimon from this one. But then again it wasn’t hard to hide your signal here in the digital world. Her eyes flicked to mae as she asked what they thought of the situation.
The others seemed all right with going in the same direction. But the shutmon wasn’t exactly sure if they could trust this man. Her intuition told her that something was up and she just couldn’t place it. Drumming her fingers on her side for a moment she’d give a small shrug.
”I say we head down and see what’s what. Name’s Silence by the way.”
Without much more added silence would pop her sword out of her sheath a good inch or two with a thumb, as though checking the blade for a moment before sliding it back in. She hoped that mae understood that little gesture as the shutmon padded deeper into the room.
”Got any way of checkin' how many floors we’re going to be workin through Wizardmon?”

Even if the trust in this strange man wasn't entirely there, there seemed to at least be a consensus that they were all heading the same direction, for roughly the same purpose. Adjusting his glasses back into place, the man gave a nod.
"If you are all more comfortable taking the lead, feel free. I tend to serve better in the support role, anyway."
"Seriously, you're even crowding on my space?" The Wizardmon found himself muttering, just as Skadi would use the improved scanner on the Black BishopChessmon.
BlackBishopChessmon Virus Metal Empire Bishop Laser - A powerful, linear strike fired from the end of the staff. Martyr's Strike - Foregoing defense, the attacker uses the scepter as a powerful club. Perhaps the information would prove useful if they ran into another of the same type. As for the questions asked of the Wizardmon? He'd first address the wire trip: "Hard to say, but given how many floors this tower extends upwards, I'm imagining that there are only three or four distinct patterns of sensory triggers, repeated up and down the tower. In fact, considering our friend here seems to know how to counter the programming, their existence might not necessarily be a detriment to us."
As for Silence's question? The Wizardmon would tap his staff against the ground. "Four more floors beneath this one, at a moment's guess. Though something could be blocking my ability to feel further."
"Hm." As Bellamy was about the only one to introduce himself to the man, he'd give a nod down towards him. "Likewise. Call me Connor. Look forward to working with you."
Well, it seemed like the group got along... in the present. Mae's Vision
"Did you honestly think you would be accepted so simply?"
Mae's vision of this place would be cloudy - as if this was a far uncertain future - but the voices, and the presence of the 'man' in the foreground, would be crystal clear. 'Connor', as it was, found himself with gritted teeth as that voice taunted him through the mental smoke.
"Well, wasn't it obvious from the start? Why wouldn't my vision-"
"- And who said I started this game because of your vision?" Another small laugh echoed through the darkness. "I won't even say his use of it was even misguided. A city for machines, built upon a single resource not in demand? His methods might have been ill-advised, but worse beauracracy could be seen in any major city."
"..."
... What was that?
What it was, was a vision - one not even guaranteed to pass, nor one that impacted the immediate issue at hand. As they made their way down to the next floor, they'd fine one similar to the entrance point, except completely clear of mechanical equipment...
... And with two large obstacles guarding the next 'down' ramp:
Machinedramon. One Black, and one White, both guarding the direct way towards the ramp. They were able to see it before turning the corner, as Connor held out a small mirror, letting them peek around to the targets.
"One thing I will say, these automotons attack on sight." Connor kept his voice low, not wanting to trigger the menaces early. "That said, they have an initial response time to activate their defenses. If we crush them early, we can make this fight much simpler."
"... But one mistake puts someone in the path of four cannons..."

Hm, from the look of things, while the information about the Black BishopChessmon did give a good hint at the bot's combat capabilities, there didn't seem to be much else major to be of note insofar... yet. As Skadi quietly slid the D-Nexus back into her Infini-Store, and the mysterious man introducing himself as Connor, Kenny would likewise, "Ah, yeah, I almost forgot. The name's Kenny, by the way. My partner's kind of late, but I'm sure she'll be here soon."
And so, on Silence's suggestion, the group would move downstairs towards the next room, Skadi trailing behind the rest. Four more floors, huh? As far as both were concerned, it sounded way too good to be true. Another gut feeling rising in the young man's throat was telling him that; maybe something was screwing with the Wizardmon's abilities on that end to try and kill off suspicion or throw the group out of wack.
And the moment they reached the next floor, that gut feeling just intensified.
It was at this point Skadi would switch Geisterseele off, but only for this moment to peer at the two titanic Machinedramons that lay before them. For a moment, Kenny bit his lip as he listened to the Wizardmon's words. One mistake. One tiny, simple mistake, and they were screwed beyond belief. Even the normally confident Skadi could feel her own nerves catch up with her, glancing into the mirror to the dangers before them.
Just what were they to do? There was no telling how powerful the two draconic androids were, and as far as they were concerned, neither wanted to find out the hard way. There had to be some way to essentially throw them off guard, or to buy the group time to give the slip, or...
Wait...
Four cannons...
Crush them...
Potentially each other...
Kenny was already rummaging through his cards quickly to find something. Something that could trick the Machinedramon. If they were being affected the same way as 'Connor' claimed that the BishopChessmon was... then hoo boy. As soon as his fingers landed upon the right card, he turned to the rest of the group.
"Guys, I have the Kuwaga Blade card. Perhaps we can trick the Machinedramon into firing into each other, so perhaps we might have an upper hand in the battle." He whispered, gesturing to the SilverGrademon, "The second I swipe this baby, Skadi here will launch the BladeKuwagamon in the middle of the two Machinedramon, not to attack them directly, but to just buzz between the both of them. If this works, then they might end up firing at each other by mistake! Any objections?"
If not, then it was time to put that plan into action. Skadi was already quick to raise her fist up as Kenny swiped the card through the D-Nexus, and in a matter of moments, a BladeKuwagamon would form upon her wrist. Not a moment later, and it would fly off, away from her and the rest of the group, leaving them only to hope and pray their gambit worked.
At this moment, the BladeKuwagamon whizzed between the two Machinedramon with ease. But far from attacking them, the metallic insect would constantly sway in between the both of them, like if it was begging to be shot at from the gigantic beasts. In any other circumstance, this would be borderline stupidity; a flat out death wish for those without even a spec of survival instinct.
But for this BladeKuwagamon, it was for a good purpose.
Kenny uses the card JT-26: Kuwaga Blade, to allow Skadi to send a BladeKuwagamon in between the two Machinedramon, in a bid to trick them into firing at it - and into one another.
Card used (1/7): JT-25 Card Name: Kuwaga Blade Type: Modify Rank: Silver Duration: 3 Posts Effect: The target Digimon summons a BladeKuwagamon that straps to their wrist. While usable as a weapon, it can also separate to harass enemies on its own.

Well, that ended well enough. They had someone else helping them for the moment, though Mae couldn't really ascertain who they were, what they were, or how the hell they did that with the BishopChessmon. She had been about to weigh in when a vision struck through her, overwhelming her sight and replacing it with something exceptionally cloudy for the level she was at.
,,,
The contents were troubling. She couldn't identify the voice speaking to Connor, but Mae figured it was something to look out for in the future as the group proceeded further and downwards. They found something that seemed reminiscent of the point they entered from, but with...two reasons to stay behind the corner, okay.
Interesting varieties of Machinedramon, really. One black, one white. Like the BishopChessmon. Mae would prepare to fire a Knowledge Stream, and...would not stop preparing the attack despite Kenny voicing a plan. "I have none. Just know I'm prepared to blast them to bits if that fails, okay?" She gave a nod, and waited.
Hopefully this would be a good plan.
Mae prepares Knowledge Stream for if Kuwagacide fails.

The options in front of her wasn’t exactly filling the shutmon with confidence but regardless of that fact she was practically bleeding the stuff. Adjusting her sword and staring at the black chess piece in front of her. Compared to the man it was a known threat right? Was it okay just leaving it here? She’d turn her head to the wizardmon and nod her head. ”Then we take the path of caution.”The shutmon flicked her ears towards connor and considered asking for a last name. She knew humans had them and well… She could possibly poke around later. If the man ever slipped up and gave them what they needed to do so. If not? She doubted there were many connors running around. The shutmon stared into the mirror and rubbed the bridge of her nose. This would be a problem wouldn’t it? Machinedramons were known for their intense firepower and she had heard of stories of one in the forest not too long before her birth. Hearing connors words this made it so much more likely that they’d have to fight these things full out from the get go. ”Then we don’t give them time to act.”Her voice was low but harsh; they came here expecting a fight did they not? With kenny’s plan well… She’d give him a nod. Drawing her sword with a well practiced ease; it was chipped but well taken care of. ”If it fails I’ll follow suit with an attack of my own. It’ll hit the both of them but I don’t think it’ll do too much to em.”With her sword ready the shutmon turned her head to connor and the wizardmon. ”If you’ve got a big ass spell I’d start prepping it. Got anything to add connor?”Human or not he had gotten this far somehow, she highly doubted he would come down here without some kind of backup plan. Log: -Silence prepares buster beam alongside mae’s knowledge stream. Passives: Oathbreaker: Vaccine types take increased damage from this digimon.
Bound: Using it's powerful legs, this digimon may treat even air as solid ground. Allowing it to basically "fly". Move: Buster beam: This digimon may shoot a beam from it's mouth, which upon contact of a solid surface explode, showering down several smaller beams in a small ring around it. The initial explosion is fifty feet in radius, while the smaller ones are ten feet in radius. This main explosion is much stronger than the smaller ones, while trivial to some can quickly add up if not careful. This move may be used every three posts.

Luke liked that answer from Wizardmon. "Ahh, yes, that could help us." he said, the Elecmon rubbing his chin excitedly at the possibilities. Rewiring traps intended for them to instead act in their benefit. He liked that way of thinking. "I have a bit of knowledge about electrical engineering myself, so, if I can help in any way, I'd be glad to." he smiled at the new human, now inclined to treat him nicely, given that at the very least, Bellamy was inclined to trust him. His name was Connor, and Luke and Colin gave a small bow of acknowledgement to indicate they were fine with him.
Then it seemed the next obstacle ahead were a pair of Machinedramon, one black and one white. Colin grimaced at that, thinking initially that the only way to get past would be a long attention-drawing battle. After all, there were few obstacles to get through, and it seemed clear that they were there to guard the way onward. While they could attempt to activate their stealth abilities, there was no guarantee that they couldn't sense them in other ways.
So they didn't say anything for the moment and awaited other ideas. Kenny spoke up first, mentioning his Kuwaga Blade card. At first, Bellamy was confused, wouldn't a card ability still draw their attention anyway? But Kenny elaborated further, and it seemed to gain Colin's approval.
"Sure, that works. If anything, it'll let us see what the Machinedramons would do to intruders without risking any casualties." he deduced. So he had no objection to Kenny using the card in this way. Luke and Bellamy observed, ready for action if this caused something bad to happen.
When Silence and Mae indicated that they would act if this failed, Colin did the same, keeping his hand on his digivice just in case things went balls-up. Unfortunately there was little else he could contribute at the moment, other than to grant his digimon reserve firepower.
Meanwhile, restless from not being able to contribute, Bellamy turned to Connor. "So, do you see anythin' in this room that could give us an advantage if this plan fails?" he asked the human, then looked around himself (staying under cover) via Connor's mirror to try and look for anything - switches, terminals, obstacles, cover... anything that could give them the edge in a battle against two Machinedramon.
