Armand barely kept his balance as the ground shook. He mentally cursed himself at this. How could he didn't see this coming?! Mudfrigimon was nothing but a diversion and they fell for it! What's worse was the Burgermon couple were still inside the store!
"No, cease this instant!" Armand ordered. "The Burgermon are still inside!"
Forget it, Armand! There's no way that Digimon won't change his mind too easily!
Armand growled. "But if I don't... How can I protect them when we fall for his trap?"
You fell for it because you're too naïve to believe. You thought that words alone were enough to protect them. But you need to be flexible with your morals to get the job done. That's the difference between you and me. You're not willing to take on pragmatic decisions and think one step ahead.
He grew silent. He wanted to deny the spirit's words, but it was all true. If he caught all of the signs, then...
He quickly shook his thoughts off. If he delayed any longer, the spirit's words would come true. "Masamune, we must warn the couple about the incoming intruders!"

Masamune barely was able to keep his balance and that was probably due to him being much lower to the ground than a human like Armand. Armand called out to the leaving Guardromon to cease because the Burgermon were still inside. It was clear that the mech didn't give a damn about the small champion level digimon who were running the restaurant.
When Armand said that they had to warn the couple about the oncoming intruders some weird trap door panel began to open right next to the restaurant. The shaking though less severe and focused now on that spot still had Masamune worried as he said, "I agree with you there but that panel near the restaurant has me worried, kew."
Slowly from within that very panel rose a large missile the very sight was something not even Masamune was expected as the small bug said "Uh oh, kew. This is not looking good, kew." Just then the missile began to launch into the air its target currently unknown. "Definitely not good, kew."

Unfortunately, Armand was too late to notice the panel as his face grew pale at the sight of the missile rising from it. What was worse was it began to launch, which he thought might be the restaurant. "Isn't that too much to threaten a restaurant?!"
Like that Guardromon give a damn! If you want to stop it, then get your ass moving!
"But how?!" He yelled at the spirit's voice. "I'm only human! I can't exactly... Wait..." Armand took out his Digivice and stared at it. "Maybe I can help. I'll see if I can stop it!"
Yep! Just leave it ol' Impmon X and...
"You know this is still my body, right?" Armand interrupted. "If you can use the Digivice, then I might able to replicate the process on my own."
What?! Are you hearing yourself right now?! You have no idea how Digimon operates!
"Sorry, but I have no choice and I don't want you to hurt everyone by accident!" Armand pressed the side button and a holographic barcode appeared on his left hand. "Spirit Evolution!"
He scanned the code and suddenly, it expanded and enveloped his body. He felt it started to shrink and change, yet he felt no pain around him. Once the barcode barrier disappeared, Armand's human body was replaced once again by the imp Digimon.
"Okay. Now how did that spirit do it again?" The transformed Digimon closed his eye as black flames emerged from his hands. "Night of Fire!" Armand tossed the flames to the missile in an attempt to stop the missile from reaching the sky.
(OOC: Because Armand is in control as Impmon X, Trickster Mind is currently inactive.)

When Armand asked if it was too much to threaten a restaurant, Masamune replied "While it does seem a bit much there are some eccentric digimon with off the wall schemes, kew. Guess we somehow ended up in the middle of one of these schemes simply because we got hungry, kew."
As Armand wondered how he could help admittedly Masamune wondered the same thing. Then next thing Masamune knew was that Armand's body was replaced by the body of an Impmon X. The imp digimon raised his hands before unleashing flames towards the missile. Unfortunately, things weren't going to be that easy as the missile itself launched into the air. Just where it was going was unknown but either way if the missile hit something someone was bound to get hurt.
Masamune didn't know what to do as if he armor digivolved to BushiAgumon he still wouldn't be able to reach the missile due to not being able to fly. Yet unknown to the cute little caterpillar he had begun glowing. Likely the adrenalin rush from wanting to help but feeling powerless had brought this on. However, all Masamune knew was that he was feeling a curious rush he had never felt before.
"Kunemon digivolve too.....Flymon!" Masamune said as his form changed to a large winged insect but most curiously of all was the insect digimon's lower arms weren't stingers but the lower arms ended in hands. As for his trusted katana Tenken it was now worn on his waist in this form.

"No..."
Armand froze with his face turning pale when he saw his flames completely missed as the missile launched from the panel. He could feel the rage growing within him, something he had control of when he was still human. He quickly shook it off but still grew horrified at the damage the missile would make. "Spirit, can't you boost my powers a bit?! This is your original body, right?"
Geez... Did you take Digimon 101 lessons before Spirit Evolving?! Most of my strength disappeared once I woke up; you're stuck in Sprite Spirit right now! In normal terms here, we're currently a Rookie, and a Champion-level missile can't handle a Rookie-level Digimon!
Armand's uncovered eye widened. "Then how do you expect us to st- Huh?"
He turned to Masamune and gasped as he watched his worm-like body glow and slowly morph into a large yellow fly. "Is that...another one of his Armor Digivolutions?"
Close. That Kunemon just achieved a natural one.
Natural... The transformed Digimon couldn't believe his eyes. He thought an Armor Digivolution would be enough to surprise him. But seeing the little worm turned into a large fly was enough to freeze in shock.

Just as Masamune was about to plan to fly after the missile, he heard Armand ask out loud if the spirit could boost his powers. Apparently the now Impmon X still wanted to help bring that missile down. Apparently, the spirit wasn't going to be able to judge by Armand's shocked appearance.
It seemed that Armand was also as surprised as Masamune was that he had digivolved to his natural champion state. "It seems that I have managed to achieve my natural champion form for the first time, kew. Guess that's what that strange rush of power I felt was, kew. Now I think we should go after that missile, so I hope you won't mind what I'm about to do next, kew."
Masamune began flapping his wings until they began vibrating at high speed and lifting the now curious looking Flymon off the ground. Next Masamune flew over to Armand before reaching out with his lower arms and gently taking ahold of the Impmon X with those hands on those arms.
"Alrighty, kew. Away we go after that missile, kew." Masamune said before he, while carrying Armand, zipped after the missile. Soon he began closing in on the missile wondering which of his attacks would be the best way to handle the missile.

It only took Masamune calling his name to shake him out of shock. While he was still confused about his Digivolution, he decided to go with it. If he did, the missile would have landed on the ground by now. "Not at all. Let's go!" He quickly climbed onto the newly evolved Flymon on his back and hung on as he flew towards the missile.
"Any idea how we can stop that missile?" Armand thought. "Maybe another Night of Fire would be enough to slow it down."
Not Night of Fire. If we want to break it without any casualties, then try mixing fire and ice.
His eye widened, realizing what the spirit was suggesting. "You know, water isn't enough to break a missile like a toaster."
True. But we do have a conduit if the bug can use it along with his sword.
Armand hummed in thought. Then, he sighed. "Alright. I trust you." The Impmon X stood up and summoned purple and black flame-like spirits on both hands. "Get ready, Masamune! Summon Chaser!"
With two swings from both hands, he tossed the spirits to the missile and they started to twirl around it as they released fire and ice in order. The resulting attacks created water as they wet most of its metallic body.
Whether the plan works or not, Armand frowned as he grew concerned that might not be effective...

Armand got out of Masamune's grip and managed to climb onto the odd looking Flymon's back. Though surprised at how agile the Impmon X seemed to be. Though Masamune noticed that Armand seemed to be zoning out which made it clear that Armand was communicating with his spirit. Masamune soon caught up to the missile and was now tailing it.
Then Masamune watched as Armand summoned two spirits one of fire and the other made of ice at the missile. The spirits twirled around melting into water and beginning to soak the missile itself. With a click of his mandible Masamune wondered just how he could effectively help.
"So, Armand, I don't know how I can help, kew. Well other than maybe bringing the missile down before destroying it that is, kew." Masamune said as he drew Tenken from its sheath. Now the trick here was the best way to handle things without making more of a mess of things.

Armand grew confused and panicked after turning to Masamune. To his dismay, he was also in the dark about what he was supposed to do next. With time ticking down, he turned to the spirit inside him. "How about giving us a clue here?! Splashing with water isn't enough to slow it down!"
Geez... And I thought you're the patient human. Did you check your Digivice and scan that guy beforehand?
"Do you think I have time for that?! There are lives in danger here!"
He heard the spirit sighing.
Damn... You're really are slow. I don't remember much, but I vaguely recall some Flymon who can shoot electricity or something. If your friend has one...
The Impmon X's eye widened. "Of course!" He turned to Masamune next. "Masamune, can you use any electricity abilities in that form? If you hit it while the missile is wet, it might break down. That way, you can finish it off with your sword!"
Again, he was going on with the spirit's suggestion and human logic in play. If this didn't work, then he would never forgive him for losing millions of lives nearby.

Seemed Armand was just as perplexed as Masamune regarding getting the missile wet. Then apparently the spirit guided Armand to ask Masamune a question pertaining to one of his attacks. Masamune figured the two were talking about attacks Flymon may have if such a question came up.
"Electrical abilities in this form, kew?" Masamune asked before he replied "The one I have is similar to a traditional electric ability, but I don't know if it would help us, kew. It is worth a shot for me to try though, kew. Just make sure you're holding on tight because this technique requires lots of movement, kew."
Then focusing within himself he said, "Dance of the Swallows!" Masamune began fluttering around elegantly before his divine energy created a rain of bolts that fell from the sky raining down upon the missile. Upon hitting the missile it began sparking from shorting out and powered down before it began to fall from the sky.
OOC: Masamune uses his Dance of Swallows. Dance of the Swallows: Elegantly flutters around in midair sending a rain of divine bolts down upon the battlefield in up to a 40ft. radius. (Lasts 2 posts) (Cooldown of 3 posts) Lasts 0/2 posts.

Armand couldn't believe it. He thought this plan wouldn't work considering there was a chance it would be immune to electricity despite letting it wet with a possible conduit. But he never thought it would work too well in their favor. He was still hanging on after Masamune's attack but briefly laughed as he watched the missile start sparking and falling from its broken machinery caused by Masamune's attack. "W-We did it. We stopped the missile!"
Don't celebrate it just yet, newbie! That missile might crash into the restaurant if you don't act quickly!
"O-Oh, right! Thanks for reminding me." Armand stood up and summoned black flames once more. "Night of Fire!"
He tossed the fireballs to the missile once more. If they wanted to avoid causing collateral damage, they might as well disassemble it or try to break it into pieces. His attack might not be powerful enough to achieve it, but he knew who would. "Masamune! Finish it!"

Admittedly Masamune was just as surprised as Armand that their combined efforts shorted the missile out. Remembering the missile was still a potential threat to someone as it could possibly crash into the restaurant or maybe an innocent digimon's home. Armand summoned his Night of Fire unleashing fireballs at the missile. When the fire struck the metal some of it appeared to be starting to melt indicating the structure of the missile was weakening.
Then Armand called out to Masamune to finish it and Masamune quietly wondered what the best approach would be to handle it for he figured that an attack that could do it in one shot was his best. However, he needed a one hit blow that didn't risk him and Armand getting hurt in the missile's destruction. Thinking for a moment it was as if his instincts were calling out to him causing him to glance at his stingers. Could that be? Of course.
Swinging his abdomen forward he exclaimed "Stinger Barrage, kew!" From his abdomen the sight of rapid-fire stingers firing from his abdomen occurred but that was not all as the fast-flying stingers struck the missile with explosive force sending the missile flying into pieces and raining towards the ground with the parts crashing near the restaurant but somehow didn't cause any damage and no one got hurt.
OOC: Masamune unleashes his Stinger Barrage upon the missile blowing it into pieces. Stinger Barrage: Shoots stingers from his abdomen rapid fire like a machine gun. The stingers explode on impact.

Armand quickly hung on again as Masamune made a final blow to the missile. Or rather, a few final blows in the form of stingers fired like a machine gun. It was a bit difficult for him to see, but he was in awe watching parts break down into pieces as every stinger exploded on impact. It only took a peek below to see most of them landing not far from the restaurant. This made him sigh in relief. "It's over..."
For real this time. But you have some unfinished business, right? I can go out there and give that Guardromon a piece of your mind~
"No, not yet. I think I can handle this on my own," Armand thought. "To tell you the truth, I already reached my patience with those kinds of people." He turned to Masamune next. "Can you get us back on ground?"
If Masamune complied, Armand jumped down and looked around for any signs of Guardromon. He would have turned back to normal, but he wasn't finished yet.

The sight of the destroyed missile made Masamune practically vibrate with excitement as he wasn't certain his attack would do the trick. When Armand said it was over Masamune said "Good thing, kew. I was worried my Stinger Barrage would not be enough to destroy the missile, kew. I thought at best the missile would be knocked out of the sky, so I am glad things worked out, kew. To think I was basically winging it due to running on instinct, kew. Guess I didn't do such a bad job, kew."
Then when asked if he could get them back to the ground Masamune replied "No problem, kew. Should be a piece of cake, kew." Masamune then flew towards the ground before softly landing. Then he knelt down so Armand could climb off by himself.
Armand had hopped down off the Flymon and began searching around. Considering the missile was destroyed this confused Masamune so he asked "Hey, Armand, kew. The missile is toast, kew. So, what are you doing, kew?"

After looking around for a while, Armand stomped his foot and grumbled. "He got away." He turned human again as he snapped his fingers and clicked his tongue in frustration. "He must have got away during the commotion."
Seems so. Even with his robotic stubby legs, he might have fled too far for us to catch him.
Armand hummed for a while and sighed afterward. "There's nothing we can do now. All that matters is that we protected the restaurant and we sent a message to whoever tries to profit it off. I still don't trust you, but thank you for your help."
I'm a bit disappointed I didn't do a lot at the climax, but I'm glad I met your satisfaction. Call me again if you need more help from mwah~
Armand sighed again. It might take a while for him to get used to all of these strange phenomena around him. For now, he decided to move on and turned to Masamune to answer his question. "I should find a place to stay at Terminus City and process everything I learned. After a few days, I'll get back to the Human World and go back to work. What about you, Masamune? Are you planning to continue your travels?"
