Hans finally managed to get a closer look at another creature in this area. Although details were scarce because of how fast actions are going, the overall picture of Sarumon was clear. This, however, made Hans wonder what Yggdrasil uses as a source for digimons' design (or whoever is responsible for that task). He didn't mind how anyone look, he rather was curious if it makes some of them uncomfortable. Having a piece of metal as the tail didn't sound well, but barely he knew what's Renamon's next level looks like. Granted, he was one step from the opportunity to see that.
Renamon, who witnessed Sarumon's initial assault against the foe, decided to continue her contribution toward the Gorillamon's defeat. It seems like the white beast needs one little push and this push Kitsune wanted to provide with her clones. She does remember how should she act, so there was nothing wrong with her actions. Being totally unpredictable is what makes her different compared to other digimons of her kind. And so, after announcing her attack, Kohenkyo, she summoned two clones of herself and ordered them to attack Gorillamon's legs. The trick was to make him lose balance and fall (from grace). Which those clones started to do right away by rushing to the white ape from behind and attaching to the gorilla's limbs like a leech, following by biting and slashing them. That surely will force the primate to focus on clones, letting Sarumon land a successful attack.
OOC: Kohenkyo - Uses a glowing hand to summon two phantom clones of itself to follow orders of Renamon. Their attacks are limited to basic melee attacks (i.e. kicks and punches). They're immune to any mental attacks and always attack the target the master has targeted. Duration: 2 posts or until each of the clones is attacked once. Cooldown: 2 posts.

It appeared as if Kitsune had some tricks of her own as two clones were brought forth heading in to hold onto Gorillamon. Clever like the kitsune yokai of Japanes folklore she seemed to be. As the clones snatched ahold of Gorillamon's legs the white ape proved to be a strong foe again as he got to his feet despite the clones hanging on to him and charged at Kitsune aiming his cannon intending to blow her to particles.
"Such a single minded oaf and that will be his undoing." Sarumon said as her tail fan snapped shut and her short claws began glowing as they extended in length to six inches long before she entered a high speed dive at the Gorillamon. "Demon Claw!" she called out slashing her claws into Gorillamon's back.
The reaction was more than what she expected though as not only did Gorillamon howl out in pain as the demon monkey's claws pierced his flesh but he whirled around dislodging the clones and smashing Sarumon in the face with his cannon sending the small demon monkey to the ground and hard. Groaning Sarumon struggled to clear the spots from her eyes as she felt Gorillamon's big meaty hand clamp tightly on her wings raising her off the ground before bringing her back down intending to smash her into paste. Oh hell no! One thing she was not going to do was just let him do that without a fight. So she sunk her claws, though back to their normal size into his arms clawing for all she was worth.
OOC: Demon Claw: Her short claws glow before extending to roughly six inches before she lashes out trying to slash up her target.

It seems like the foe was heavily underestimated. The stupid ape was too big and so can soak an immersive amount of damage. Was he under drugs effect? For a Champion, he was pretty tough, so taking him down now will take now way more time than expected. Things got complicated as the Gorillamon shot in Renamon, but even if his charge missed by a small margin, he managed to hit the tree trunk. This is where the uglier part of the fight kicked in. Although Kitsune managed to leave her position just in time to avoid the incoming charge, the explosion wave reached the vixen in seconds, sending her off her course. That has accelerated her fall and made her spin, leaving no chances to land on her feet. Luckily, Hans managed to catch her when she was about to hit the ground, but because of inertia, the two have collided and fell on the ground, rolling. It was better than if the fox's landed on her own.
"It seems like our tricks don't work well, isn't it? We need something stronger.". Kitsune asked, trying to get on her feet, but fell immediately as her head was spinning. "By the way, thanks for the save. I'd use some rest, though.".
Hans was about to reply, but then he decided to check how things go with the Gorillamon. He wish he didn't as the picture raged him instantly. Knowing that Renamon would need some time to fight again, Walzman resolved to do what he wanted in case of emergency, which is right now. But the moment he was about to rush to the ape with the grappling hook, his Digivice started to glow. As he pulled it out, he felt like an immersive amount of energy comes out of the device into his face in form of wind. What was weirder, is that some sort of code was enveloping it. For some reason, Hans felt himself much warmer, but it wasn't local heat. It was acting much different, on the contrary. The reason why it happened appeared the moment later as Kitsune turned into a bright shapeless form of light, then started to transform into a bigger creature.
"Renamon digivolves to... Reppamon!". Kitsune announced, but a second later she was in a different form. A quadrupedal, silver fox with a Z-like blade on her tail and black paws. Did she finally evolve? Unfortunately, Hans didn't have time to check out details as the Reppamon jumped on top of a rock, disappearing in a smoke cloud, and then announced her next attack. "SHADOW STRIKE!".
OOC: Shadow Strike: Jumps in the air disappearing in a smoke cloud, then strikes the enemy with her tail in order to pierce him. That attack can be canceled in the air, letting Reppamon use it as a movement ability. Cooldown: 1 post.

Sarumon's efforts clawing at Gorillamon's arm left some nasty scratches but got the result she wanted as the white ape howled again in pain releasing her leathery demon wings allowing her to land safely on the ground after slowing her decent. A bright light caught her attention as she peeked around Gorillamon to see his digivice reacting followed by Kitsune beginning to digivolve. When she was done evolving she may not of looked very fox like but she had a rookie wolf form that had alternate lines that were a fishing cat and a demon spider monkey so who was she to judge? She watched as Kitsune hopped on a rock before unleashing her attack.
Kitsune's attack hit Gorillamon dead on piercing the mighty ape's shoulder not bearing the cannon before the injured ape took a swing towards the shadowy form. "All right, that's it. I'm through playing nice." Sarumon said as dark energy was channeled into her small body. "Time to unleash the true power of my dark side. Monkey Madness!" she said before launching herself at Gorillamon unleashing a flurry of savage punches and kicks sending Gorillamon falling over onto his back.
Sarumon hovered just over Gorillamon her crimson eyes showing no hint of her normally gentle nature. "I'll give you one last chance. Crawl back into the jungle and bother no one else or if you insist on continuing the fight in your condition I promise it won't go well for you since you must face two champion digimon."
OOC: Monkey Madness: She taps into the full potential of her dark side before launching herself at an opponent with a flurry of punches and kicks charged with her dark energy. (Cooldown of two posts)

It was truly wonderful how such a small creature was able to flip a digimon three times bigger, but as the job seems to be finally done, that didn't bother Hans anymore, and so Reppamon. Even though he was still doubts about Sarumon, as he wasn't totally sure if it's still Stacy, dealing with the ape was a higher matter. And if anything, Walzman was confident that his evolved partner can able to get away with him, so none of the two can harm him or his beloved fox.
"We can't let him roam in jungles, at least freely. He might be able to help those tribes not by fighting and I don't want this to happen. Is there a way to transport him to the Dark Area or a less populated regions? Because we can't force that brute to work for us.". Hans suggested, exiting behind the rock where he had been during the battle. Reppamon joined his company soon and the guy was finally able to get a closer look at the new form of Kitsune, which looked as good as her Rookie level - pretty as always.
According to the D-Scanner, Reppamon is a Champion, a Vaccine-type digimon with a movement set that suits her fighting style quite well. But despite the fact she was looking good, the blade behind her, who had the same length as her body, sparkled some questions. The Swiss guy slowly approached the vixen from behind and inspected her rear side from all perspectives. It must be not very comfortable to have a blade under your tail (which produces another, more interesting question), but Walzman assumed this is how bees exist.
His primary concern was is that if that blade will stick inside something or if she get slammed hard against a wall, the blade might injure her. That was a major drawback of the digimon design, however, Hans noted an eye on it which blinked once. Is this thing is alive? If that is so, Reppamon now also has to deal with another person inside her. In the real world, it is called schizophrenia, but Hans won't believe that his digital monster has this problem. Because of that Hans now had a lot of questions that he needed to discuss, but decided to do that once the matter with Gorillamon will be concluded.

The odds were against Gorillamon with him not only being injured but outnumbered as well. The idea of retreat didn't appeal to him and neither did potential banishment somewhere. Looking around he noticed that Hans had come out in plain view and a cruel smirk spread across the ape's face as he turned stiffly toward Hans taking aim with his cannon. Hearing the hum of the cannon coming to life Sarumon's red eyes narrowed as she said "Oh no you don't." She then zipped over in front of Hans and Kitsune as her body became alive with power that no one would expect to see from a dark digimon. Meanwhile Gorillamon fired his cannon just as Sarumon yelled "Zodiac Burst!" Instead of dark power she was channeling holy energy as it swiftly took the form of a glowing dog before flying out toward Gorillamon.
The holy power of Sarumon's Zodiac Burst met the blast from Gorillamon's cannon head on but since Gorillamon was injured and didn't have the strength to properly charge his attack the cannon blast seemed to be consumed by the incoming holy attack. Gorillamon didn't have the strength to try to evade as the attack enveloped him causing him to howl as before he dropped to the ground his data scattering to the wind.
Sarumon landed looking tired but otherwise fine and said "I was hoping he wouldn't force me to kill him. At least since I didn't absorb his data he may have a chance of his next life being a better one." Sarumon then began to glow before she returned to her human state and Stacy collapsed to her knees completely wiped out. Other than being tired she seemed fine except for a large bruise on her cheek where she was struck by Gorillamon's cannon and she likely had other cuts and bruises that weren't visible.
OOC: Zodiac Burst: she channels her holy energy until it burst forth from her body taking the form of her zodiac sign which is a glowing dog.

The moment the sound of charging Gorillamon's arm cannon intensified, Hans and Reppamon have jumped to a side, away from the potential line of fire. What happened next could be described as a divine miracle, but since the Swiss guy was a person who is hard to impress, he happily accepted only the fact that the problem with the Gorillamon is now can be considered closed. That, and along with Renamon's evolution, this day can be counted as a successful one. Now, only formalities are left, and then Hans can forget about jungles for a while.
"Feral Tribes have poorly self-preservation abilities, so nothing special about the way that ape ended up. At least we have one less problematic digimon to concern with.". Hans concluded once he got on his feet and rushed to Stacy, seeing as she collapsed. Hans can't leave her here as more hostile digimons may appear. "Hey, can you hear me? Are you able to walk?"
As for Renamon, she also returned to her Rookie level as maintaining the new form needs mastering and practice. Luckily, there were no hostiles, so Hans didn't worry so much about her devolving. Of course, he has some questions about that, but that wasn't an issue at the moment. On another side, the moment Kitsune devolved, Hans also felt a bit tired, but that was pleasant exhaustion, much better than he ever had. It also could be the feeling when you resolve a big problem by working at the peak of your abilities, yet Walzman could say that such an emotion wasn't as good as right now. Probably, he starts to forget how's that feels.

"Yeah I can hear you and I can walk. Just give me a bit. I was tired when we first met so this battle combined with two separate digivolutions in a short space of time was a bit draining." Stacy said with a groan as she pushed herself to her feet on somewhat wobbly legs. "These Feral Tribes have a poor sense of self preservation, huh? I'll keep that in mind since such a thing is dangerous to not only themselves but others as well." She was unsure if she would run across these guys again in the future but with knack of finding trouble who knew for certain?
Kitsune had dedigivolved as well and was in her Renamon form and that made Stacy think back to her dark form of Sarumon. While not a malicious digimon this form was mischievous to the point of being impulsively reckless, maybe somewhat more arrogant too, and that was apparent by the battle with Gorillamon. If she channeled her so called inner demon she would definitely need to be better prepared and more in control of her impulses. A pain shot through her back and with a frustrated sigh she reached back barely applying pressure before feeling pain so her back was likely covered in bruises as well. With a swift push and rather painful sounding pop her back was into place again. Sure it was sore but nothing a hot bath and a few digivolutions wouldn't completely cure. Since becoming a spirit wielder her back certainly complained less even after battle situations so she had always took it as a blessing.

"The first time I've encountered them, they behaved pretty much like a bunch of wild digimons, even if a bit fierce. But they ran away once they got some minor losses. Since then encounters of single digimons, Champions namely, were not as fast as my first one. They were fighting to the end despite major injuries, and from what I heard from others, most of them fighting being under the affection of something. It is drugs I believe since I do not see any good reason for them to act so. However, yesterday I overheard that digimons of those tribes were in services of dark and malicious digimons. Once their master is gone, some of them refused to return to a peaceful way of coexistence, and so they continued the path of havoc and destruction. They simply like it. It seems like digimons can be corrupted just as humans, isn't it?". Hans told as he sat on the ground. He thought more information on his enemy might be useful as Stacy can encounter them too, so she can be aware of the foe. But for now, no more battles. Today was enough to not engage in any fights for a couple of days or even a week. Walzman needed to consider what happened today, anyway. "I work at a cafe in Rosewood, so if you need to restore your energy, I suggest going there."

Stacy sat down as she listened to Hans tell of what he knew of the Feral Tribes. Boy did this fit with her knack for finding trouble to a tee. What began as an innocent journey on the surface to find her spirit totems had kept leading her all sorts of crazy directions nearly killing her multiple times to boot. Removing her glasses and rubbing a hand over her face she said "Wow. First it was slave traders, then later pirates, then some wackadoodle wanting to control all digimon with a man made mind control virus, and now crazy destructive druggies with super powers. I shudder to think what trouble I'll find my way into next while trying to help someone."
Putting her glasses back on when a cafe in Rosewood was mentioned she said "Journeying that way doesn't sound like to bad of an idea. After clearing this jungle I can ride my motorcycle out there to check it out for myself."

" Seems like I miss all the fun. Let me know if you come across something where you will need an extra hand, okay? Because my life is centered on solving all kinds of problems. Guess that's because I was trained to be ready for duty any time I called.". Hans stated. Not like he complained, rather was a bit frustrated that the opportunity slipped through his fingers. Especially he liked the part about the virus, so that means this world has to offer much more than Hans assumed initially. But then Stacy's words appeared to have two meanings, that's why the Swiss guy decided to clarify one little thing before exiting the jungles. " You said clearing this jungle? Do you mean to find more hostiles? Because if it is so, I do not think it's good since you can barely stand. Guys from Rosewood will be on guard here an hour or two later, so no need to worry. They can escort you if needed."

"I may not have had any specialized training, Hans, but even I am wise enough not to actively look for more trouble especially since I don't think I even have the strength to reach my rookie form so that means digivolving back into a champion form like Sarumon to fly my way out of the jungle is out of the question." Stacy said in a calming voice to insure the swiss ninja that she wasn't planning anything ridiculous or remotely life threatening.
"Shame I'm far from nimble like the ancient spirits I draw strength from since they all move very fast and some can even climb really well indicating a somewhat arboreal nature. I used to wonder why I was such an effective climber even as a rookie with a tail that was partially prehensile when in its transformed state and then I became the demon spider monkey, Sarumon, and now things make a lot more sense despite the oddness of the branching evolution my rookie form has." Stacy said before chuckling. "Yeah I think I'll wait for the digimon from Rosewood to arrive. I'm not as young as I look and after the day I've had, I'm totally wiped out."
An hour or two later the digimon came escorting the three of them out of the jungle and all the way to Rosewood. By the time she got there she grabbed a room at an inn and decided to take a long nap before taking the Trailmon at night back to the Human World so she could get back to AEGIS Headquarters.
