Shi would be vastly disappointed if he knew he missed the chance to see Hawkeye beaned in the face by one of the props, that would've been amazing to see today but sadly he was ahead of them so he couldn't. Though he did hear something hit the ground behind him so that was a bit odd, nevertheless that was the least of his concerns at the moment when faced against an Ultimate level digimon, thankfully everyone else showed up as well to start chewing the digimon out about what he was doing, which Nao seemed to join in on. "If you have a problem with my best friend, you have a problem with me! He hasn't done anything!" Though she looked back at the others with her eyebrow raised for a moment before shrugging. "Going to guess you all know what digimon are, else you probably wouldn't be here." She was going to try and come up with an excuse but quickly realized one didn't exist.
"My apologize for the abrupt exit, I had thought I grabbed him as he had exited the stage, it is quite hard to judge distance from so far away." Folding his arm over his chest for a moment with his sword put away he surprisingly gave them a deep apologetic bow. "I am as you suspected, a HolyAngemon. I am the captain of a group of digimon from The city of Luminas, here on official buisness. We seek out digimon who flee from the digital world to the human world to escape punishment, according to my information source this Gulus is one such digimon." Standing back straight up, he seemed to wait a moment for the information to sink in.
"No way, your information is wrong! He only came to the human world with me when I asked, you have the wrong digimon!" The actor seemed pretty adamant about this whole situation, what her history was with the champion level digimon was beyond Shi but considering she was standing between him and an Ultimate level digimon it was definitely a strong bond, even the digimon standing before her didn't seem to deny it.
"Yeah, ughh. I found Naoto in Rosewood she convinced me to join up with her in the human world. I'm not running from anything." Despite being a little more than hurt Gulus managed to get that out.
Judging by his tone this Ultimate level digimon didn't seem completely unreasonable, since it was better than fighting maybe they could convince him? "I don't think this could be the same digimon you've been asked to hunt, We've been watching him perform and he's too good to just be doing it to hide. So much so some people thought he was actually a corrupt demon lord."
He definitely took Shi's words to heart for a moment, though had a more indifferent look on his face. Probably wasn't fully convinced considering Shi's neutral tone even in this situation, so Shi glanced back at Mandrake and Kaya, pretty much asking him to back him up on this one.

The sudden sound of Hawkeye getting beaned in the face by a prop caught Circe's attention causing the youngster to wince in sympathy as that couldn't of been a pleasant experience. Mandrake and Lothar, however, were more concerned with the HolyAngemon hoping things wouldn't lead to a fight. Nao had begun also speaking in defense of Gulus as well telling the angel that the dragon man digimon was her best friend. Was she a tamer as well? Possibly. As Nao looked back at the others she mentioned the others knowing what digimon were and Mandrake said "That's one way of putting it. The few here that are human are either tamers or siblings of tamers."
"It seems likely there is more than one Gulus or a digimon similar here in the Human World and you seem to have jumped to the conclusion that this Gulus is your target without direct evidence." Mandrake said crossing his arms clearly not impressed before he continued "While I agree that criminals should be brought to justice your method was potentially problematic and could of endangered the humans. As for the criminal you are looking for does this criminal have any distinctive characteristics that make him identifiable from others of the same species? If Gulus doesn't possess such characteristics then that is proof enough that you have the wrong mon."
Meanwhile timid little Circe had cautiously made her way over to Hawkeye and Kaya standing not far from the pair and quietly, but loud enough to be heard, asked "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, we had a nice chat about it with GulusGammamon back stage during your performance," Kaya said, walking up next to the girl known as Nao. Of course, she'd still be wearing her Ryuusoul Pink outfit, making her stand out a bit. "We'll talk more about how impressed I am with you later."
"And be careful where you're throwing your props next time, if you would," Hawkeye said, rubbing his beak a bit where the plastic weapon had bonked him just moments ago.
The HolyAngemon began to explain his side of the story once he was confronted by everyone. He explained that he was the captain of a group that hailed from the city of Luminas, seeking out a Digimon that had escaped to the human world to escape punishment. "I've heard of that place before," Kaya said, remembering what Adrian had said about that city before. "It's that city up in the clouds, right? It makes sense that you would come from there." Of course Adrian had also said some bad things about the city that were supposedly no longer true, but Kaya didn't believe it. As bad as pure darkness could be, pure light was equally as bad.
Now, Kaya and Hawkeye did not believe that this GulusGammamon was running or hiding from anything, just based on the talk they had with him backstage, and Nao was insistent on this. HolyAngemon looked towards the others for their opinions on the matter, which they definitely shared. "I'll admit I initially believed that GulusGammamon was up to no good, simply from what I had known about the species. But after speaking with him, I will have to side with Nao on this. All this Digimon wishes to do is act with his friends, there's no possible reason he'd be the kind to run and hide from the law."
"Maybe next time, ask about what species of Digimon you're looking for before you come in blindly on a wild goose chase," Kaya added, crossing her arms. It was no secret that she was crossed with this HolyAngemon for kidnapping someone with no probable cause, as well as ruining the show Gulus and Nao were putting on with their friends. Especially with what she believed how Luminas treated its citizens, whether they be law-abiding Digimon or not.
Mandrake's and Lothar's child Circe then came up to Hawkeye, asking him if he was alright from earlier. "Yes, I am fine, little one. It is going to take more than a mere piece of plastic to truly injure me." The only reason he did a crash landing to begin with was just because the weapon came from seemingly out of nowhere...

"Sorry, was a bit distracted by my best friend being dragged away by a giant golden hand." While what she was saying did sound a tad sarcastic she did seem to mean it. "Pink though huh, Good choice." Noting the outfit right after as she focused back on the HolyAngemon before them.
"No, I am afraid you are incorrect. From what I was told this is indeed the digimon I was meant to target. A GulusGammamon on a stage. Pretending to fit in." They calmly explained now fully putting their weapon away. "I would no act unless my information was set and secure, less I risk disruption the relative peace between the world. I was informed that my target was a dangerous criminal, fit to attack at a moment's notice. Had I not acted quickly I would run the risk of further putting humans in harms way." Slowly the angel digimon started walking closer to the Virus type, Nao and Shi put on their guard despite the little they could do to stop such a digimon.
Though after a moment he simply stuck his hand out, muttering something under his breath as a green light engulfed the digimon before him, undoing the damage done to the champion level digimon. "However I shall not jump to conclusions as many of my peers might, while I was informed the digimon who told me of you was a reputable source, my own judgement tells me you are no such threat. I apologize," Though closing his eyes he sighed deciding to respond to Kaya's statement.
"Yes, my home is there in the city of light. While I wish to be proud of it some there are quite stuck in their ways in regard to other digimon. A problem that as you see today can lead to some biased reports."
Well, that initial crisis was averted thankfully. Though Shi had to admit he was curious as to who reported this? "The digimon that told you about him, who are they anyway." Shi figured he'd shoot out the question, couldn't hurt to ask.
Pausing for a moment the HolyAngemon lifted their hand up and pointed to a closed off area nearby. "I was meant to bring them over there, should you wish to confront them yourselves I would be willing to lend you this spell I've been using. This fog prevents humans unaccustomed to the digital world from seeing or hearing what goes on within its confines." Well that explained why Mirai was having a hard time seeing anything! Guess it'd be mostly up to the others if they wanted to go or not. Gulus and Nao seemed hesitant on going and Shi really didn't have any defense if he went himself.

Though Nao's plastic weapon being flung had caught Hawkeye by surprise Circe seemed relieved when the Hawkmon had said that he was okay. Though Kaya and Nao talked briefly about Nao's outfit it didn't last long as they quickly focused on the HolyAngemon.
While HolyAngemon began to explain their side of the story Mandrake still stood where he was with his arms crossed. Then the Wizardmon said "If he was prone to attacking at a moment's notice he would of likely of done so by now. So perhaps who informed you about Gulus was either misinformed or trying to target him for some reason." Though Mandrake and Lothar had never been to Luminas in their travels they did consider maybe going there one day despite the city's somewhat concerning reputation.
Fortunately HolyAngemon not only apologized but also healed Gulus proving they weren't so bad. This made Mandrake wonder who made the report and Shi voiced the same thought out loud in a question. HolyAngemon raised their hand up and pointed in the direction of a closed off area not far and said they were meant to bring Gulus over there and was even willing to lend them a spell the angel digimon had been using which prevented humans unaccustomed to digimon and Digital World matters from seeing or hearing what was going on. "At least you brought spell good for use in the Human World. I get you were trying to avoid potential collateral damage. I'll definitely want a word with the one who provided you with this information and I'm sure I'm not the only one." Mandrake said uncrossing his arms his tone calmer than earlier. He was glad there was no need to fight HolyAngemon over such a matter.

Kaya gave a bright smile as Nao complimented Kaya's cosplay outfit. "Pink Sentai is always the right choice," Kaya said while holding up a peace sign with great confidence, expressing the fact that she was a pretty big Super Sentai fan.
Oh, so HolyAngemon DID get the right information about his target, and he was being very reasonable while he was explaining his side of the tale. Turns out that it was a GulusGammamon that was trying to blend in with human society on a stage. That... sounded scarily accurate to this GulusGammamon's position, Kaya, Hawkeye, and Mari all had to admit.
"...that is a fairly good defense," Hawkeye said, feeling the need to admit it out loud. Kaya and Mari couldn't really argue with him, either. Mandrake suggested that HolyAngemon's client was misinformed or was trying to target GulusGammamon for whatever reason. "The similarities are just too similar for there to be another GulusGammamon on a stage. Not impossible, but highly improbable. Still, there's no way to confirm or deny this second GulusGammamon's existence at the moment."
HolyAngemon stuck his hand out towards the GulusGammamon, healing his injuries and apologizing for jumping to a conclusion like he did. "Maybe it really is a coincidence, and there is a bad GulusGammamon like that in Shibuya. Like Hawkeye said, improbable but NOT impossible!"
Shi also asked about HolyAngemon's target, and the angelic Digimon explained that he was going to take Nao's GulusGammamon to a nearby closed off area. He offered to lend a spell to the group if they wished to help out, which was a fog that stopped humans not affiliated with the Digital World from seeing or hearing what was going on inside. "Is that why I couldn't see in here?" Mari asked.
"That would make sense... I gotta see if Weston knows that spell for later. Mari, you know the way home from here, right?"
"Mhm!"
"Great. You can see the rest of the show if you want, but Hawkeye and I are gonna stick around and help out with HolyAngemon's criminal problem."
"We are?"
"Well, why wouldn't we? We're partners, it's kind of what we do."
"Uhhhh, okay. I'll go then. See you later, Kaya, Hawkeye! Mirai, wanna come with me?"

'Trying to target him for some reason' The Holyangemon heard those words and sighed, raising his head to the sky for a moment shaking his head slightly in annoyance. "I am afraid that happens, far more often than I care to admit. Some digimon believe Virus types to be evil regardless of evidence and circumstance. Typically, no one who thinks such would make a call like this, nor have the ability to do so without some level of trust which is why this situation is but a headache for me." Figuring out who let this go without properly checking and calling him out here to deal with a problem that might not even exist would, understandably, be a massive headache for the angelic digimon.
"I don't think there could be another one, we get fans talking about how unique his design is. If there was someone doing what he's doing, then I'd have most likely heard about it by now." Well that was a bit of a pickle huh? Though it was probably hard to imagine this situation happening twice over.
"Well regardless, I'm definitely going to give whoever did that a piece of my mind, try to escape getting hounded in your own world just to get hounded in the other. Ugh and on such a big night too." While Gulus might've seemed mad his words ultimately came across as mildly annoyed at worst, sadly almost like he was used to stuff like this. Still Nao patted him on the back trying to calm him down a bit.
While everyone was talking though the Holyangemon handed something to Shi, seemed to be a small crystal. "So long as you hold onto that, the fog won't vanish. I would accompany you but I must go inform my cohorts of what has happened so far. But, despite what some of my kind believe, I trust you humans who have partnered with our kind. I'm sure you can handle this."
Huh, oh yeah sure! Bye, Bye Demon lord, Angel!" Hopping off her brothers back Mirai joined up with Mari.
"I'll stick around, though I won't be much help I can at least be the shardbearer for this I suppose." Shi tossed the crystal artifact and caught it again. Plus he wanted to see how this turns out.
With that the direction towards the client was opened, though it seemed like a darkened construction site, though it wasn't too far along. Maybe some remint from when they rebuilt the district that was forgotten? Regardless there definitely some stuff that some would be able to run i-
Shi wasn't able to finish his thought as Nao ran into a stack of bricks, tripping and getting caught by Gulus. "Ugh, stand in front of me Gulus, I can at least see you pretty well in this fog." Well she was having a small bit of trouble, hopefully no one else runs into anything.

Yes it was improbable there was another GulusGammamon but another thought entered Mandrake's mind as he then said "What if this is not a GulusGammamon but possibly some sort of shape shifter. Such an ability is not unheard of for digimon to have."
Lothar was also quietly taking in the information at hand wondering if that was the case but said nothing standing there like a silent protective presence. As for Circe the young spider child was shaking nervously as Kaya said they would stay to help HolyAngemon with his criminal problem. Mandrake glanced at Lothar who silently nodded in agreement and the Wizardmon said "Lothar and I are willing to help as well. The only problem is that I don't know what to do about Circe. She is too young to take with us on this but with her issues I worry about leaving her alone."
As Mari and Mirai started to leave Mandrake glanced at Circe before he said "Circe, why don't you go back to the show with Mirai and Mari." When Circe's eyes teared up and she began shaking her head he gently placed his hand on the child's shoulder and said "I promise to be as careful as possible. You know it's getting too dangerous for you and if you stay with the girls you should be okay until Lothar and I get back. Please listen to me." Circe nervously bit her lip before grabbing ahold of Mandrake in a hug which the Wizardmon returned before she hesitantly released her grip and trotted after the girls. Soon the spiderling caught up to the girls rubbing the tears flowing from her eyes.
Shi was taking care of the shard that HolyAngemon handed him and Mandrake shot a brief glance back in the direction Circe ran off feeling terrible that he and Lothar had to make her run back. The poor child was not used to being without Mandrake in sight. Soon the darkened construction sight came into view and Nao tripped over a stack of bricks. "Take it slow. This fog still hasn't faded." Mandrake said gently to Nao.

"We're going to have to assume that this specific call was made by such a Digimon that feels that way about viruses," Hawkeye said to HolyAngemon, placing his wings on his hips. "The how or why's do not matter at this moment. I like to think of myself as a good judge of character, and I say that Gulus here is not deserving of such treatment."
Well, assuming the writer of Gulus doesn't pull a bait-and-switch of course... which this writer is going to hope and pray does not happen. The thought of another GulusGammamon running around was out of the question it seemed, considering how Nao explained that their fans would talk about how unique Gulus's "design" was. Mandrake brought up the possibility of a shape-shifter. "It could be possible, but highly, HIGHLY unlikely."
Kaya felt so bad for Gulus at this moment, seeing him just look so defeated about being chased into the human world. And during one of his shows, no less... Whatever it takes, I am going to fix this, Kaya thought to herself. You can count on me, Gulus.
HolyAngemon then handed Shi a crystal, explaining that it would keep the fog spell held up and that he wouldn't be able to accompany the others. At least he said he trusted the partnered humans to handle this. Not like it meant much coming from HolyAngemon, but still, at least he was helping and giving some kind of moral support. With Mari, Mirai and Circe now all heading back to see the show, it was up to Shi, Kaya, Hawkeye, Mandrake, Lothar, Nao and Gulus to help figure out what Digimon was behind all of this.
Of course they didn't make it that far before Nao immediately tripped over a pile of bricks. Since she wasn't Chosen, she would be having a hard time seeing in this fog. At least she was caught by Gulus, who would now be standing in front of Nao for the duration of the walk. "You know, I'm surprised you two haven't been paired up yet," Kaya said as she walked up to the two of them. "You both clearly care for each other, the same way that Hawkeye here and I do. I think you two are super adorable together, too!"
Meanwhile, Hawkeye would walk up to Shi. He had a different, unrelated matter on his mind at the moment. "Have you been having any luck searching for Yuudai and Yasuo, Shi? Or is it 'Yuya' still? It simply feels bizarre, having you be here, but not them."

"Technically it could, however to what end would the point of masquerading as this digimon and committing crimes be, there are plenty of other digimon that could possibly be blamed for such an action that are much easier to get. I'm told it's a proverb you human's use. 'Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one.' With that in mind it may be best to exhaust a simple route before considering other more needlessly complex routes and motives for now." Well the Angel just nipped that in the bud before he left, what a guy. Why he knows so much about human stuff and trusts them? Who knows does anyone even care at this moment? Lets go Gulus!
Back on the route towards the one who made the report, while they made their way through the construction site Kaya had to question something about the Digimon and Human duo yet not duo. "Huh? What're you talking about we're partners. Work together all the time?" Nao seemed confused at the question, after all she literally ran after him when he was grabbed didn't she?
"Not what she meant, sometimes the creatures from my world form a connection with humans, kinda like how that bird digimon Hawkeye is with her, I think that stone faced teen mentioned having a partner as well." Shi heard that and all he responded with was a grunt, just like him.
"Oh, Hey yeah! Why ain't we partnered like that you big lug? What is the big bad demon lord too afraid to partner with the ultimate heroine!" She asked jumping up slightly and pulling Gulus Down grabbing him in a side hug/headlock. Which he obviously let her do.
"I'm afraid you puny mortals are naught but a speck of dust to crush under my foot, by my hand my eternal solitude shall commence post haste." He spoke in his more ominous tone, though he still had a pretty obvious smile. Plus it was hard to look intimidating when someone way shorter than you had you in a headlock!
"Hate to break it to ya oh mr demon lord but she already thinks you're adorable, no point in going for the brooding bad boy angle it's a bit too late for that right?" Well it was pretty clear neither of them knew why they weren't partnered, but they definitely seemed close, closer than some other tamer and digimon duo's it seemed.
Speaking of tamer and digimon duo's that weren't seeing eye to eye at the moment, time for Shi to talk. Hawkeye asked about the twins, well Yuya now. "No, feels lilke anytime I get close he's already halfway across the digial world. It's hard to pin him down when I don't know where he's going." Shi paused for a moment before continuing. "Though the digimon I've talked to who've met him have good things to say, apparently, he's helpful, if a bit prideful, so at least he's not dragging Yuudai and Yasuo through the mud."
A little bit after Shi said that though a decently loud crash was heard a bit forward, like a buncha pipes hitting the ground all at once. Something or someone was ahead that was pretty clear. Despite being able to see through the fog it was out of eyesight at the moment.

It is true virus attribute digimon like Gulus and myself have gotten an at times undeserved reputation. I agree with you Hawkeye that Gulus doesn't seem to be a bad digimon despite his intimidating appearance." Mandrake said. Now they had the real suspect to track down shape shifter or not.
"It is possible that Nao is a tamer but met her partner before she received her digivice. However as a digimon not partnered with a human I am hardly an expert when it comes to matters regarding destiny and how it involves humans and digimon being partnered together." Mandrake said as he brought his fingers to his temples opening his mind as if trying to locate the suspect telepathically.
Meanwhile Lothar watched Nao and Gulus interact not wanting to disturb Mandrake. Gulus playing off brooding bad boy was adorable given he was in a headlock with a human who was smaller than him which made the eight foot lion man smile at the sight. Then a decently loud crash caught Lothar's attention causing him to look in the direction of the sound of crashing pipes. Mandrake, meanwhile, turned in that direction closing his eyes before he opened his mind and telepathically said "Show yourself coward. We are aware of the trouble you've been causing for Gulus."
OOC: Mandrake telepathically reaches out to the unknown foe.

Nao seemed to be confused about what Kaya meant when she said that Nao and Gulus should be partners. Shi explained exactly what Kaya meant by "partners," which even got Nao asking why something like that hadn't happened to her and Gulus yet. Just seeing the way that the two of them interacted with each other made both Kaya and Hawkeye smile. They both truly loved and cared for each other, just like Kaya and Hawkeye themselves.
Plus, Nao had a point; GulusGammamon was very adorable, or at least this one was. Neither Kaya nor Hawkeye could speak for any of the others, because they had not met them yet. "Being paired does not happen to everyone, but there is nothing stopping the two of you from being friends, I believe," Hawkeye said to the two of them.
"You should've met Hawkeye here when we first met," Kaya said. "He actually was the brooding type. It took a while for him to get out of shell, but we got there eventually."
The news about Yuudai and Yasuo was... not exactly what Hawkeye was hoping to hear. The two of them Jogressed together, Yuya, was so fast that he was hard to pin down. The only silver lining was that Yuya himself was actually a decent Digimon that went around helping others, and they all had good things to say about him. "Regardless of that, he is still in the wrong for abandoning you like that, as well as taking your partners away from you. No amount of good deeds can make up for that."
And that's when the large crashing sound was heard from forward a little ways away. It sounded almost like a bunch of pipes hitting the ground at once. As if on instinct, Kaya pulled out her Digivice and charged her hand with orange Digisoul, while Hawkeye stood in a combat position. All they could do was wait for this culprit to reveal themselves...

"That's the part I'm confused about though, he's a decent digimon but he left me behind. I feel like there's something missing to this puzzle that I can't figure out. Like he's worried about being around me or something..." Shi for once had a confused look on his face, if he was kind and helpful then why refuse to even try and talk to Shi about this, until Shi figured that out, he wondered if he'd even be able to talk to the Agumon.
But now time for talking was over, it's time for action. Mandrakes telepathic message was responded to. By something loud and boisterous. "Ha, you think to call us cowards do you not? When truly the cowards are you. Hiding behind humans such as that." The voice seemed to come from above, looking above they would see quite the sight. It was three champion level digimon. BetelGammamon, WezenGammamon and KausGammamon. Betel in front with Kaus on his left and Wezen on his right. Striking a very interesting three poses as the trio jumped from high up before landing behind the group.
"Uhh, hey Gulus, what's going on. I can barely see?" Nao asked as Gulus stood in front of her against the three digimon.
Though as his eyes landed on her, Betel gasped for a moment. "Dubhe! the legendary heroine. Bah does your evil know no bounds that you might bring this one into this fray oh demon lord!" Which, after saying that cause, at least the three characters I controlled to pause for a moment before tilting their heads collectively. That was Nao's stage name?
"Wait, I'm sorry but what's going o-" Before he could finish the trio leapt back pointing towards the opposing group.
"You change your voice as well, but I see through you. Very well then. For Dubhe's freedom It is up to us to challenge you. The red flame Betel!" Striking a pose as fire came out of his hands before condensing down into a small ball that floated around him.
"The calming wind, Kaus." Kaus Gammamon seemed to say a bit lazily as he floated there for a moment, didn't seem that interested at the moment but anyone savvy enough at combat would be able to notice his stance had zero openings.
"The Iron Terror, Wezen!" His pose was a lot more stationary, but he did fire his guns into the air for a moment, didn't hit anything thankfully but still it was decently loud. Muffled a bit by the spell it seems.
Nao and Gulus were pretty much left dumbfounded for a moment, meanwhile Shi had his hands in his pockets before simply saying. "Oh, they're not evil. Just nerds."

Kaya mentioned that when she first met Hawkeye that he was the brooding type and that it took awhile for her to get him to come out of his shell. Lothar, who had not said anything since pursuing the digimon that was mentioned, said "Sounds like it worked out very well for you two, Kaya."
Learning that Yuudai and Yasuo had not only fused together but were not there made things potentially more tricky as if this digimon problem was more dangerous than Mandrake feared more help would of come in handy. Hawkeye said to Shi that it was wrong for Yuya to abandon him and Mandrake silently nodded in agreement. Mandrake made note of how confused Shi actually looked as showing his emotions seemed rare for the young man. Then Mandrake said "Perhaps after this is all sorted out you can work on tracking Yuya down. Surely some digimon have seen him and might be able to help you out."
As for Mandrake's telepathic message it was more effective than the magician had hoped for as something loud and boisterous responded by calling them cowards for hiding behind humans and the crafty magician kept his cool as three champion level digimon made their way into the line of sight from above and they were a BetelGammamon, a KausGammamon, and a WezenGammamon. BetelGammamon was in front with his associates on either side of him and the three of them struck poses before leaping landing behind the group causing Mandrake and Lothar to turn to face the trio before Mandrake said "We're hardly hiding behind humans, BetelGammamon, as there is nothing wrong with humans and digimon spending time with one another."
When Nao asked what was going on, Lothar said "It seems we have found more potential trouble than just one digimon, Nao."
Then when BetelGammamon called Nao by her stage name which Mandrake and the others learned while watching the show earlier both he and Lothar had a feeling that things were about to get more complicated. The couple were now definitely glad that Circe was back at the show and out of the potential line of fire.
Then the trio began not only announcing who they were but also striking poses after words causing both Mandrake and Lothar to glance at everyone else before looking at each other clearly baffled by this odd trio. Lothar had noticed that Kaus had no openings in his stance so a strike against him first was not a good idea. Hopefully the others noticed this too. As for Wezen, Lothar was less than thrilled about the loud racket the armored dinosaur was making. Shi's words caught Lothar by surprise causing the Leomon to snort with laughter while Mandrake's eyes seemed to sparkle with mischief. If this trio planned on being problematic then Mandrake was willing to show that Nao and Gulus weren't the only ones that knew how to put on a show.

"Maybe he's intimidated by you," Kaya jokingly suggested to Shi when he mentioned Yuya possibly being worried about being around him. "After all, your face doesn't really give off any cozy vibes, you know?"
"Kaya, perhaps now is not the best time to tease him."
"Sorry, sorry..."
However, their attention would soon after have to be shifted to something else. Mandrake's telepathic message was met with a response from three seemingly champion-level Digimon, with the loud and boisterous one of the trio calling the group cowards for hiding behind humans. They all had jumped up and landed behind the group, causing them all to have to turn around. This was reminding Kaya of something...
Of course, Nao couldn't see what was going on, so she had to ask Gulus. That caused the red Digimon to call her by her stage name, Dubhe, and believe that the "demon lord" had kidnapped her. Kaya and Hawkeye both had to pause and blink for a second... did... did these three really believe that this performer had been kidnapped by GulusGammamon? Well, as it turned out... yes, they did. And it was clear that they weren't going to change their ways, and they were going to fight for Dubhe's freedom. The three of them each did their little pose as they stated their names and titles, and it wasn't until Shi called them nerds that it finally clicked for Kaya.
"They're not just nerds... they're copying Super Sentai!"
"Not just copying it, but seemingly incorporating it into their fighting style," Hawkeye mentioned, noticing clearly how the KausGammamon had no openings at all while he was doing his pose. "Listen here, the situation is not what you think it is. 'Dubhe' isn't Dubhe, she is a performer named Nao, and GulusGammamon is not a Demon Lord. It is all a show for entertainment; the three of you are taking this far too seriously."
