In the depths of the Cipher Jungle, long away from where motorcycle riding was possible, was Stacy. She had heard stories of a wild Gorrilamon reeking havoc on those unlucky enough to be deep in the jungle. She was shocked she wasn't dealing with a rampaging gorilla since she was quite deep in the jungle already.
Brushing some leaves out of the purple tips of her brown hair and removing some that had somehow gotten in her pockets. Seeing as she had been walking in the sweltering jungle for hours such a thing was not completely impossible. Soon thorny bushes became an obstacle but since she spent part of her childhood playing inside blackberry bushes, they were a minor obstacle at best only requiring her to awkwardly stumble over or through them somehow with nary a scratch.
Soon she came upon a small clearing with a small clear lake and decided to stop for some water while she got the chance as well as maybe rest for a bit in the shade of the trees as she had been walking for a long time. Kneeling down by the pond she cupped her hands into the water and brought it to her lips drinking the fresh water. This process was repeated a few times until she got her fill of water. Apparently she was more thirsty than she originally thought she was. Then she walked under a nearby tree and flopped tiredly to the ground leaning against the base of the tree her thoughts wondering to what a Gorillamon was and what it looked like.

Cipher Jungles, again. Hans started to think about this location as his home considering how often he got trips here, not like he liked it. It's just the way he and Kitsune fight where urban or forest-like areas are highly beneficial. His new target was supposed to be there as well, one of Feral Tribes' leaders as he overheard a chit-chat of a customer in the cafe. He didn't care if that was true or not, because he didn't want to lose an opportunity to weaken the barbaric tribes. There was a chance that his target might be a bit stronger than his Renamon, however, Walzman consider this as an attempt to evolve his partner. He couldn't rely on others forever, so this fight should be somewhat his own trial (or rather his partner).
After dealing with a huge amount of bushes and high grass all along his way, Hans finally entered a clearance, similar to the one where he met Mandrake and Lother not long ago. But the moment he spotted someone who looked like a human, Walzman instantly hid in bushes. His encounter with Natsuya was still fresh and he didn't want to be engaged against another hostile human. He just decided to wait and see what will happen. Maybe the another person wasn't hostile at all, but Hans learned that not all humans in this world are equally friendly.

As she closed her eyes and was about to become totally relaxed her digimon instincts began poking into her mind warning her she was not alone. The faint rustle of leaves confirmed this causing her brown eyes to slide open as she looked around just in time to spot the faint movement of someone, human or digimon she wasn't sure, but she wasn't foolish enough to take unnecessary chances.
Bringing out her Hardlight Baton from within her D-Tector she slowly rose to her feet holding it in front of her in a defensive posture staring warily at the flora concealing the stranger from her view. Her petite frame was tense readying herself for trouble as she made sure she didn't look vulnerable for in the Digital World it meant she might be easy to pick off. Her posture was definitely that of an alpha female despite her small frame. "Alright. I don't know who you are but just so you know I will defend myself if I need to so either show yourself or move on. I am far from the vulnerable fragile human I appear to be." she snarled glaring at the bushes the holy aura she still was not aware of beginning to surround her body.

Stacy's speech has made Hans only smile as now he didn't see her as a villain, at least for now. Natsuya probably would start with something different and threatening. Perhaps, Hans, who was dressed like a military, can now reveal himself safely and ask what the other human is doing in deep jungles, hoping she's not hiding her dark intentions if she has any.
"Hi. Don't worry, I'm not hostile, I was trying to figure out if you're a threat or not. Happened to me not long ago in this place, which forced me to be a bit careful with everyone. Now, what are you after here? There are roaming war bands called the Feral Tribes, maybe you heard about them. So I think you got a reason to be here.". Hans asked, gingerly exiting from the bushes with hands raised. Sitting there was a bit hard because of how hot today and it's not even afternoon. In this way he wanted to show he's not an enemy, so two humans can chit-chat before any hostiles appear.

As the stranger revealed himself she seemed to size him up as if at some level analyzing how much of a threat he posed to her. He was as tall as her but given she was a skinny stick insect of a human he was definitely heavier. However even if he were a giant she had a bad habit of not knowing when to back down. She had her own stubbornness to thank for that.
"Feral Tribes? Never heard of 'em. Who are they?" Stacy asked still holding tightly onto her Hardlight Baton, just in case of course, "I was out in this sweltering pit called a jungle looking for a digimon called Gorillamon but haven't seen such a digimon. All I heard was it was reeking havoc but I've been out here most of the day so unless this digimon is really small or invisible I haven't had the best of luck so I decided to stop to take a break since I am not as young as I look." Sure she looked at most twenty five but no one but her family believed her when she mentioned her true age so it rarely came up in casual conversations.
Little did the humans know was Gorillamon was indeed out there but it was not close enough to be detected. Yet the white ape was indeed coming their way but at a slow and methodical pace it seemed. Was it trying to avoid detection or was it just a slow moving digimon in general. Only time would tell.

"They're a bunch of digimons who can't stop making problems from nowhere, and now they've started to sell weed, which is pretty much similar to cannabis in our world. It's safe in small doses, but digital monsters seem to ignore safe limits. As a result - sometimes I observe spikes of aggression and odd behavior of normal digimons in Rosewood. Gorillamon is one of their leaders who keeps this place out of problems for deliveries, so eliminating him should weaken those pesky tribes. I'm Hans, by the way.". The Swiss guy said, and then approached a shore of the lake, now being sure another human is not a threat.
Then he washed his head and face, enjoying the coolness of water he so much needed. That also has positively impacted his ability to think clearly, so the next action he performed is that he released his Renamon and ordered her to watch for enemies. Or just any appearance of any digimon, who looks like an ape. The vixen accepted her task with no word spoken and went climbing on top of a tree. Once the fox has gone, Walzman returned his attention to Stacy. "That's Kitsune, my partner. So, where did hear you about the Gorillamon? And where are your partners? If I may ask.".

"Man I've been coming to and from the Digital World for a year and never heard of these guys. I guess they have been good at concealing themselves until recently." Stacy said finally figuring the stranger was not a threat and her Hardlight Baton vanished back into her D-Tector which was still in her Digivice Cradle on her right arm. "So Gorillamon is with these guys. If Gorillamon is distributing these drugs then it would explain the need for using the jungle for some sort of cover." Then the stranger introduced himself as Hans.
"I'm Stacy. Nice to meet you Hans." Stacy said as she watched Hans take advantage of the coolness of the same water she drank from a short time ago before releasing his partner, a Renamon, from his digivice. This was a species all too familiar to her as she had met a couple in her early adventures. After giving the vixen her orders she climb up a tree which would not only provide her a vantage point but cover as well. Her name was Kitsune. Stacy knew in Japanese it meant fox but who was she to judge on names when her rookie form had a name that was surprisingly on the nose since her rookie form was Hinookamimon which mean light or fire wolf and she became a wolf of the holy element that also had the power of fire at her disposal. "Fair questions, Hans. I heard of Gorillamon while stopping to eat in a town not far from this jungle. As for my partner, I am a spirit wielder so my partner is basically the ghost of a long extinct digimon that allows me to digivolve to take its various forms. I still have yet to find all of them though but I've made great headway so far having access to up to the ultimate forms of two of the three lines I've learned about. I haven't found any of the third line though."

"A town? It's name Rosewood by any chance? There is a cafe called the Gigabite where I have trained its cooks. I would love to hear any feedback. Visit it next time you'll pass it by.". Hans said, taking a seat at a tree base to hide from the sunlight in the tree's shadow. And so did Han's partner, but sitting on top of a branch. "Ultimate, eh? Then we should have no issues dealing with that primate, even though I haven't seen a spirit wielder in action. But here is the plan I suggest. Kitsune, just like me, do know how to distract an enemy for a while. Trust me, my fox can be a pain in the back, which makes me proud of her since she was trained in this way So, while the ape going to be distracted, try to kick the Gorillamon as hard as you can. Then, if that ape decides to switch targets, my Renamon will try to bring the attention back. We will repeat till the gorilla either won't surrender or turn into data, but knowing tribal people's nature, they'll either die or run away. What do you say?"
Walzman has supposed that Stacy was here because she was trying to find her third line. It was pretty obvious. If that so, the battle might be not too long because of Stacy's abilities, meaning his Renamon won't have much time to unlock the next stage. Perhaps, at some Hans should order his digimon to start acting much more aggressively, so he can finally make Kitsune evolve. She needs to evolve as her current level sometimes is a bottleneck, and Hans didn't like it, even if the vixen real power isn't in the amount of damage she can deal.

When asked if the town was called Rosewood, Stacy shook her head before she said "No. The town was much to small to be Rosewood but I wouldn't be surprised if the town was at least a few miles away but I don't remember the name of the town. Sorry. However maybe I'll check out the Gigabite cafe next time I'm out this way."
"I like the plan and it would work better if this particular Gorillamon is an idiot." Stacy said as she made her way to also take advantage of the shade but before she could so much as think of sitting heavy footsteps were heard as if whomever was coming was making no effort to hide they were coming. Then a large white gorilla burst out of the bush landing in the pond the water only coming up to the white ape's waist. Stacy noticed on one of Gorrilamon's arms was what appeared to be a cannon. Well dandy that might complicate things if they weren't careful. Then Gorillamon leapt out of the water landing near Stacy and Hans water from his wet fur splashing out toward the humans.
Stacy wordlessly moved infront of Hans in a protective stance and her left hand reached out toward her D-Tector. Gorillamon noticed this and, with surprising speed, reached out with his big meaty hand snatching Stacy off the ground his hand wrapping around the petite woman's throat. Then he excuted a shocking maneuver as he lobbed her one hundred thirty pound frame as casually as an Olympic athlete would lob that shot put skyward and well out of sight. Then Gorillamon turned to look at Hans with a glance that said I'll deal with you later before dashing into the jungle as if to check if the human he tossed was finished or as good as such so he could put her out of her misery.
Meanwhile with Stacy, she was reaching a larger clearing perhaps a good mile or two away from the small one at most but it was hard to tell seeing how fast she was hucked through the air so it may be closer since their was a faint hint of where she came from still in her line of vision as she looked back briefly. Then as gravity started to pull her toward the ground she looked around for a solution to her problem or she was as good as a smear as she would surely reach terminal velocity from as high up as she was. That and the fact that humans flew like bricks once the inertia wore off.
Soon her hope appeared in the form of a small but thick tree so she brought out her D-Tector as fractal coding appeared around her right hand before she ran it over the top of the D-Tector in her left hand. "Execute! Sprite spirit evolution!" A warm holy light enveloped her as a wolf howl sounded and when the howling ceased and the light dispersed what looked like a white six month old wolf cub was in her place as she said "Hinookamimon!"
Her tail then transformed into prayer beads as she said "Sacred Beads!" She then lashed her transformed tail out hooking onto the branch of the tree and she swung until she was dangling from the branch by the curiously prehensile limb before she closed her eyes and let out a sigh relieved to be alive.

OOC: Stacy saved her bacon after Gorillamon yeets her by using her Sacred Beads to hook a tree and it now hanging from the branch. Sacred Beads: Her tail transforms into prayer beads crackling with holy energy. She whips her tail out to strike out at her opponents.

Whatever Hans wanted to say in response, it was instantly been forgotten as soon as the Gorillamon finally made his appearance. The creature was slightly bigger than the shinobi expected, but also way faster which was a really nasty surprise. The moment Stacy got airborne, so Hans' plans which have changed right after Gorillamon's blitz attack. That triggered an enormous amount of adrenalin into the human veins as he got in his feet right away. And before the ape faded away, Hans managed to scan it with his Digivice. The hostile digimon did not have too many attacks, meaning he was very limited in offensive abilities. His physical skills, though, can represent a problem.
"Get back here, you filthy animal! We've just started.". The Swiss guy shouted, rushed after the white digimon. Needless to say, that Renamon followed her master as well (who also was faster than the human). Hans wouldn't be himself if he let some Donkey Kong make a fool of him. Oh no, considering Walzman's military past, the white ape will regret many times his reckless action toward the duo of humans. The ninja would personally tear apart the arm cannon and shove it into Gorillamon's mouth as deep as possible. However, he was hoping that Stacy was still alive, so he can open a digiport, provided she's severely injured.

Hinookamimon opened her brown eyes before lowering herself slowly to the ground before releasing the grip on the tree branch with her prehensile prayer bead tail before it returned to its original length and transformed back into its normal frizzy wolf tail. It was then it seemed the cause of her impromptu flight came thundering into sight seeing that somehow his victim was no where to be seen and a fluffy white rookie digimon was the only thing he could see.
She smirked at the white ape's befuddlement as it she could practically see the gears turning in the effort to process everything. Damn he must of been a bit dumber than she initially thought at least when it came to knowledge that didn't involve fighting and throwing people which was making her annoyed so she decided to help him out a little. "You're in big trouble hairball. I guess you are too stupid to put together that the human woman you unceremoniously offered a flying lesson to is a spirit wielder."
Then it clicked before Gorillamon glared angrily at the human in ancient digimon form and aimed his cannon at her charging it up. 'Really this clod has to be kidding.' she thought with a roll of her eyes as she was ready to move out of the way when a sight caught both her and Gorillamon's attention. Hers was out of the corner of her eye so she had to turn her head to see what Gorillamon was staring at while his cannon was charging. It was the tree she used to save herself. In her stressed state she had charged her tail with holy energy yes but it had an effect on the tree she would of never expected as it was turning black as shadows before beginning to crack.

Catching up with the Gorillamon was hard, yet doable. Hans should thank his trained body as it helped him again, although Renamon didn't seem to be tired at all as she was moving swiftly from a tree to a tree. The guy finds it funny that before his adventure to Wonderland he didn't need to fully utilize his physical capabilities. That made Hans wonder if digimons have the stamina at all. Regardless of that, the couple managed to arrive in time just when the white ape charged its arm cannon. Kitsune has noted that too and acted immediately.
"SMOKE BOMB!". The vixen on a tree announced, sending a round object into Gorillamon's face which will produce a cloud of smoke upon the impact. That should force the primate to fall into his melee attacks and win some time to prepare an actual assault. Hans, meanwhile, to increase the effect of Kitsune's attack, decided to make the ape believe that's him who is the actual gorilla's enemy. Because soon enough he'll have to pay attention to that as Kitsune wasn't even actually attacking. Ignoring two sources of damage will be hard to ignore. "Miss me, you piece of data?"

While cracks were still forming along the transformed tree Hans and Kitsune had caught up.Their timing was good as just as Gorillamon's cannon was finished charging Kitsune launched her Smoke Bomb attack into the face of the white ape. Hinookamimon scrambled back so the smoke didn't mess with her sensitive nose. As for Gorillamon, he roared angrily swiping his big meaty hand in a futile effort to clear the smoke which made the oaf decide to resort to the most stupid thing most would think of. Lifting his cannon arm he pointed it roughly in the direction of where he knew one of his opponents were or, in his case, no longer were though Hinookamimon was still not far from the tree. It was as if it was curiously reacting to her specifically. She didn't know why but her instincts felt something special about it.
Then Gorillamon opened fire not hitting any digimon or human only hitting the transformed tree the darkened wood splintering into pieces and flying out like a small explosion. What remained was what truly caught Hinookamimon's attention though as a familiar column of blue light appeared and what looked like a black monkey statue with wings was now visible. Could this be the dark spirit she sought after? Shaking her head, Hinookamimon dedigivolved and made a mad dash for the totem while Gorillamon was otherwise temporarily blinded. Bringing out her D-Tector once she was in the column she drew the totem within it.
"Time to see what this new form can do." Stacy said as fractal coding appeared around her right hand before she ran it over her digivice. "Execute! Human Spirit Evolution!" Her body then became enveloped by shadow as her form became more compact shrinking into a shadowy two foot tall shape before dark demon wings extended from the shadow form. She was feeling a sense of mischief though not malicious in nature it was as if this form was more prone to it then the others. Holding in her laughter as glowing red eyes were now also visible in the mass she felt as if she couldn't help herself. She probably had Zack to thank for this impulse but ignored it as it sounded fun but harmless enough. It was show time. "Gone. Gone. The form of man." she said with a tone that sounded slightly playful and amused before she, in a more serious tone, finished. "Rise the demon, Sarumon!"
The shadows then dissipated revealing a two foot tall black anthropomorphic demon spider monkey with glowing red eyes, short red claws on her hands but not feet, and a curious piece of metal on the end of her tail. With a mischievous smirk the small monkey said "Ready for round two when our friend here is."

"DIAMOND STORM!". The vixen announced as soon as the gorilla got blinded. Renamon accepted that as a signal to launch her assault and so proceeded from her current position, sending a bunch of sharp leaves into the ape body. It was large enough, so almost all of the leaves should reach their target. It would be Gorillamon's legs and arms because this is where the fox aimed for.
Meanwhile, Hans decided to make some distance with the hostile digimon and so hid behind a large rock. He was pondering to ram the ape with his shoulder but decided to not risk as he may be simply locked if the ape collapsed, probably on top of him. From the Swiss guy position, he looked to where the white primate fired. Hans could not say for sure what he was actually seeing, as the distance between him and Stacy was large. But that black statue thing was visible clear and the next thing the guy spotted is what seems to be a digimon (at least not a human). Is it was Stacy or another hostile? Walzman was supposed to have a deal with one trouble today and having two problems was not planned. He had no choice except to see what will happen next. He even spawned his grappling hook in case he'll need to change his position quickly (or choke that gorilla to death in case the ape will fall to the ground).

As Gorillamon raised his arm cannon to open fire Kitsune's Diamond Storm impaled into his back causing the white ape to howl in pain but still open fire on the two foot Sarumon. Sarumon smirked mischievously before flapping her leathery wings evading the blast as if it was slow.
By then Gorillamon's vision had cleared seeing the scorch mark left on the ground by his blast before he felt a tap on his shoulder. Whirling around he saw the two foot tall champion digimon smirking at him with her arms crossed before she said "You gotta be faster than that if you want to hit me friend. Maybe you should surrender and save time for all of us."
Gorillamon howled in rage and began swatting at the small and swift champion but it was futile as she flew backward away from Gorillamon's big meaty hands. She was still feeling playful as her instincts guided her into her next move as the piece of metal on her tail unfolded into a metal fan with red blades. "Ooh cool! This form has a bladed fan." The fan began to glow before her instincts guided her on what to do next. "Blood Fan Fury!" Sarumon whipped her tail at Gorillamon then and crescent blades the color of crimson flew at the white ape. Seeing this Gorillamon dove barely in time feeling the wind of the blades as they missed hitting the ground not far from her target. "So you're fast enough to dodge my long range attacks. I'll keep that in mind."
OOC: Blood Fan Fury: The fan on her tail glows before she whips her tail at an opponent creating a flurry of glowing red crescent shaped blades to be launched.
