Something was wrong. Neither OmniShoutmon nor Hawkeye were standing down from this fight, both disregarding their respective partners' wishes. In response, both of Hana's partners and Luna Digivolved to their own Ultimate levels in order to break the two up. Kaya watched with tears in her eyes, knowing that it was her fault that all of this was even happening. She looked down at her digivice, while Adrian looked down at her. He knew Kaya didn't mean for this to happen, he could practically feel the regretful aura coming from Kaya.
"I didn't mean to hit her..." Kaya eventually said to Adrian, Dust and Hana. "I didn't mean to hit Adrian either. I don't know what got over me... this is my fault..."
While OmniShoutmon and Hawkeye were still clashing with each other, the former could feel something touching his back before a coat of dark energy surrounded the golden dragon man, protecting him from any future harm. "What the hell...?"
Hawkeye was still enraged enough to wanna keep attacking regardless, but Luna stopped him, saying that she wasn't going to allow Hawkeye to give into his hate and was willing to fight him in order to stop him, holding her blade towards the Garudamon. And not only that, a new Digimon seemed to arrive as well, a violet-colored Durandamon came up and did the same thing. Now Hawkeye had two swords placed towards him, both urging him to surrender.
"Both of you stop!" OmniShoutmon yelled from his protection. "You think that's going to help anyone?! That'll enrage Hawkeye even more, he'll start attacking you two when he's only angry at me, you both are just making things worse! I don't WANT protection, why can't either of you understand that?! He needs a fair battle with me and me alone, that's what he wants and that's what he should get."
"Wh-What...?" Hawkeye was confused... OmniShoutmon was... helping him? Wouldn't he love the chance to just kill the Garudamon right here and now? Why was he advocating for a fair fight? "I don't understand..."
"I'm not Omni, Hawkeye," OmniShoutmon said. "I may have his data and his memories, but we are not the same Digimon. I didn't murder Eizo, I never would. And I'm sorry he hurt you. I almost lost my son, so I know how bad you feel. I want to help you, Hawkeye. And if you want to battle me to get that anger out, that's perfectly fine. I can handle myself and I've survived near-death stuff before. Just please, don't risk your life for this."
"You... you really aren't the one to blame," Hawkeye said, thinking back to his actions over the past few minutes. That's why Kaya was telling him to stop; he was realizing the exact same thing. Hawkeye's eyes closed as he devolved back into Hawkmon, now falling through the air.
"HAWKEYE!"

Dust really didn't have a response to what Kaya said, at least no response that he knew the girl would probably should hear from him. Still though he elected to say something. "Luna will forgive you, hell she probably already has." With that though he looked at the kid for a second before sighing. "We all make mistakes, the important thing is to grow from the mistake instead of dwell on it. Don't beat yourself up ok?" While Dust definitely wasn't fully happy with the tamer he wasn't about to chew her out at what was probably a very low point in her life.
Luna was busy floating in front of Shoutmon, she wasn't planning on hurting Hawkeye or even really fighting. This was mostly just a front to hopefully get him to stop.... Though as she was doing that she heard Shoutmon from behind her.. Yelling at her? That they were making things worse. Luna seemed to stop after that letting her arms slowly fall to her side for a moment. "Shoutmon, what is my job?" Luna suddenly asked, though not her usual chipper voice or even her calm mercenary voice. This one had something else behind it, a hint of barely contained rage inside it.
Without even looking at Shoutmon or checking if he answered she continued. "I'm a doctor, I heal digimon. I heal humans. I DON'T want to see ANYONE get hurt, you, Hawkeye, Kaya or Adrian. Hell to even try and avoid this confrontation I got bashed upside the head by Kaya when I gave her a hug." Luna turned her head around staring Shoutmon down. "So forgive me when I see two digimon I consider friends battling each other my first instinct is to I dunno PROTECT THEM! Especially when one has been yelling this whole time he wants to kill the other! With enough resolve in the both of them to not only fight you but hit me as well. I don't care if Hawkeye attacks me, If it means I can protect someone I will GLADLY take as many hits as I need to." Luna shook her head before just tossing her weapon down to the ground below.
"I wasn't even going to attempt to attack Hawkeye, This was all just a front so he'd stop attacking you, but if you want a fair fight with him then I guess I'm just an idiot for wanting to protect my friends." That final part wasn't said with any anger behind it, she just sounded like she was tired. With that Luna just degenerated back to her Lekismon form and fell to the ground below.
She definitely wouldn't be able to catch Hawkeye since she was in free fall herself. Dust was still looking up at the battle below, he could totally of most likely gone and tried to catch Hawkeye as he fell but elected to go towards Luna to make sure she was safe, Luna landed on her feet though with a downcast look about her but safe.

Unlike Luna, ShadowDurandamon was fully intending to fight the Garudamon if he didn't back off. However, OmniShoutmon's words caught him off guard, prompting him to spin around and look at the Golden Digimon in surprise.
Luna's angry rant at OmniShoutmon caused Shadow's look to change from surprise to anger after she reverted to Lekismon and dropped to the ground. "Well, if you had actually explained why you wanted to face him alone earlier, Data and Rush would've most likely stepped aside. But you forget one thing about me. I don't care what anyone who isn't Hana thinks of me. Unlike Data and Rush, I am nothing more than a cursed knight whose sole purpose is to protect my partner and her allies regardless of the cost, and that includes you. Even if you both hate me for it, I will not allow Hawkeye to hurt you any more than he has."
Shadow turned back around to face Hawkeye, only to realize that the Garudamon had reverted to his Rookie form and fell to the ground while the knight had given his speech. "...Oh. Never mind, I suppose."
While that was going on, Hana went over towards Luna to try and offer the Lekismon some emotional support. "You're not an idiot Miss Luna. You're a good person who was doing the right thing."

Kaya looked over at Dust for a second after he tried to cheer her up a bit, her facial expression alone indicating that it clearly didn't work. She knew he was trying to go after her after she hit Luna like that, why was he trying to cheer her up? It fell on deaf ears as Kaya looked away from Dust. She'll probably never be able to look at him again, anyways.
Back with the Digimon in the air, Luna was clearly not happy with what OmniShoutmon had told her. Luna stated that when she tried to even stop the conflict from happening Kaya ended up bashing her in the head. "She... she what?" OmniShoutmon asked, looking down at the others on the ground. That wasn't like her... why would she hit Luna? "Luna, I-"
She wasn't done, however. She continued to go on about how she couldn't just stand down while one was very clearly saying they wanted to kill the other, not caring if Hawkeye hurt her and saying that she'd take as many hits as possible to protect someone. OmniShoutmon had it all wrong... he was just worried about others getting hurt because of his past, but instead he had just hurt others right now by telling them to get away. Luna even went as far as to say that she wasn't even going to attack Hawkeye, that OmniShoutmon just made her feel like an idiot for protecting her friends. "I just... you know about my past, Luna. I didn't want anyone else involved because of what Omni did. Too many got involved and hurt already, and... now I'm just the one hurting others... thank you for trying to help though."
Shadow spoke up next. He said that if OmniShoutmon had explained earlier then Data and Rush would have stepped aside. Kind of hard to explain anything during all the craziness, but still, he had a point. But then Shadow described himself as nothing more than a cursed knight, with the soul purpose of protecting Hana and her allies. "I used to think I was nothing more than a vessel for a monster, you know." That was all OmniShoutmon had to say to the "cursed knight."
Meanwhile Hawkeye was still falling from the sky. With no one going to catch him, Adrian took it upon himself to run over to the bird Digimon's landing area and grab the Hawkmon just in time. Thankfully he was light enough so it didn't cause Adrian to fall over as well. Hawkeye slowly opened his eyes. "Ngh... Adrian?"
"It's alright, I gotcha," Adrian said as he set Hawkeye back onto his feet. "You're not... still angry at us, are you?"
"I... I don't know... where's Kaya?"
Right as he said that, a Digiport had opened. Adrian, Hawkeye and Shoutmon, who reverted back from his Ultimate form after landing, watched as Kaya stood in front of it, facing towards the group. She tossed her Digivice towards the others, with it landing on the ground right in front of Hawkeye's feet. "I love you Hawkeye. Nothing will ever change that," Kaya said with tears before she turned around, walking right through the Digiport.
"Kaya...? Kaya, what are you doing! KAYA!" Hawkeye cried as he tried to chase after his partner, but he was too late. The Digiport disappeared right as Hawkeye ran through right where it used to be. Kaya... Kaya had abandoned him. "No... not again..." Hawkeye cried, history repeating itself once again... and there was no one to blame but himself.
"Shit..." Adrian muttered under his breath. Shoutmon attempted to walk up to Hawkeye, putting a paw on the bird's shoulder--
"Let go of me. Now."
"O-Okay, okay..." Shoutmon said, lifting his paw off of Hawkeye and taking a few steps back. "I can't believe it... I thought we defeated him, yet Omni is still making life worse for my friends. I can't escape his grasp..."
"Shoutmon and I are gonna go try and talk to Kaya," Adrian said to the others, out of Hawkeye's range of hearing. "I... think Hawkeye needs some time alone, judging by how he reacted to Shoutmon just now. I'm sorry you all got involved in this, but we're not gonna stop you from doing what you think is the right thing to do. Just..." Adrian looked back at Hawkeye. "Don't treat him like an evil Digimon or make him feel even worse about what he did. Please." Adrian would then open up his own Digiport with his Digivice, walking right through it with Shoutmon.
Now how would the others respond?
[Thread exit - sorry to those that want to stay with Hawkeye!]

Luna was just standing with her eyes to the ground, Dust walked up next to her for a moment. His eyes had a clear look of worry on them. "Luna, you gonna be okay?" Dust's voice was a lot quieter, like he didn't want to set Luna off or anything. Hana came over to her aswell to assure the Lekismon that she wasn't an idiot. "She's right, you did everything right Luna. Don't beat yourself up about it." Dust reached up his hand and took Luna's hand into his, she clenched his hand tight.
Luna still looked downcast, if someone had looked closer they'd even make out a few tears slowly going down the Lekismon's face. She hated violence more then anything, especially involving her friends. Though with her free hand Luna raised it up and wiped her face. "Thanks, I'll be fine. I'm more worried about them." She did hear Shoutmon's apology before she fell but it didn't do too much to stop what she was already feeling.
Looking over Luna and Dust looked just in time to see Kaya near a Digi-portal talking to Hawkeye. "Kaya, Wait!" Luna shouted as she let go of Dust and ran over to her, followed quickly after by the Impmon.
"Don't RUN from this!" Dust shouted as well as he ran over, but the two of them were much too late. Dust clenched his teeth before letting out a sigh. "Damnit." Well there now was a major wedge that just added itself to the already major wedge that was already created.
Then Dust heard Shoutmon mention Omni ruining his life. "We can't ever truly escape the past Shoutmon, it won't change. Even if you 'defeat' it." Dust knew that better then anyone, though the words that Shoutmon had said to Luna wasn't Omni, that was still Shoutmon. Still Dust held his words, they all had already been through enough. Chastising them further wouldn't solve anything.
Then Adrian talked to the group about leaving Hawkeye to himself, give him time to think. Which to Luna seemed like a horrible idea because she knew he'd most likely just dwell on what happened, but at the same time she knew that no words would reach him as he was now. "I'd never blame him. even if he doesn't think so, He's still my friend." Luna simply said as she walked closer to Hawkeye, looking at the bird without getting too close. "Hawkeye, if you ever need a place to stay, place to vent just. My clinic is always open for you. I won't force you to come but.... Please just if you can." Luna said simply as she turned around to start going to her motorcycle.
Before that though the Lekismon would head over to Hana, she didn't have her usual smile up. Seemed more forced then usual but she was trying. "You and your partners are really nice, if you ever find yourselves in Rosewood please visit my clinic. I'd love to talk under less, strenuous circumstances." Luna would give Hana a pat on the shoulder before going back to her bike, with Dust who was already in the sidecar.

"I certainly have no room to judge him for what he did." ShadowDurandamon said as he descended to the ground and reverted to his ShadowGrademon form, referring to the previous time he had run into Shoutmon and Luneth. The sight of the Hawkmon being abandoned by his partner left a bitter taste in Shadow's mouth, since he knew that he had almost experienced the same thing with Hana after the fight with Shoutmon and Luneth.
When Luna came over to talk to Hana before leaving, Hana merely nodded numbly at the Lekismon's offer before watching Luna head back to her bike and prepare to leave. After that, it was just Shadow and Hana left in the area, both somewhat conflicted about how this whole mess turned out.
"Shall we digiport back as well, Hana?" Shadow asked the teen as he leaned back against a tree.
"No, I think I just want to walk for a bit before we go home." Hana solemnly replied, before she started walking away from the direction Hawkeye had gone. Shadow merely grunted in affirmation before following after his Tamer.
