Ruins That Smell of Seawater Here? Kew?(Levi)

After spending most the afternoon in the desert training Masamune made his way to the Kilobyte Oasis for some cool refreshing water. The little Kunemon's multiple legs seemed to allow him great movement in the desert sand but he himself didn't question it as the sword wielding insect digimon came to a stop near the water bending down using his mandible to scoop up precious water to drink. The caterpillar digimon's antenna were twitching indicating the warrior bug was on high alert. He knew full well that letting down ones' guard in a potentially dangerous place like a desert could be dangerous to his health.
As he peacefully continued to drink water a crackling sound caught his attention causing him to rise to an alert position as he saw sparks above the oasis grow larger before the unexpected sight of what looked like stone ruins just dropped out of the sky landing near the water in the sand causing Masamune to scurry backward before staring in shock. "Just when I thought I've seen everything the Digital World once again proves me wrong it seems, kew." he said before a curious scent caught his attention and he then said "Seawater, kew? Curioser and Curiouser, kew."

Following Levi’s second adventure with Zack and Marigold which had culminated in the loss of her friend, Fenixmon. The tiny shark found herself moving back towards the southern quarter of the Digital World in a roundabout way. Perhaps to travel back to her home, or, to otherwise find some more adventure elsewhere. This proved difficult as the memory of what had happened was still playing on her mind.
So much so, she found herself in a wide expanse of sand without realizing she had wandered here. With her duck-footed footing, Levi was unable to make much progress fast, thanks to the traction or lack thereof on the thick sands which occasionally sloped without realizing into large dunes or rose up into large mounds. Not to mention, the heat, which in comparison to the fierce rain she had been battling prior was… not pleasant.
As she continued to walk, she noticed a shape over the horizon. Clearly visible by the sand being thrown up into the air in clouds by the speed of its steps. Levi paused, tilting her head a little as the strange shape barrelled towards her. It wasn’t until it got close—did she catch sight of the thing. It was a large monstrous bird, almost like a dinosaur. Its wings were short and stubby but coated in a thick plated armor. She had met one of these Diatrymon before, a while back, owned by a salesmen and it had definitely not taken a liking to her. This one was no different...
The monster-sized bird was able to move through the thick sand with much more precision than the tiny shark. Levi’s head tilted the other way as the bird caught sight of her. “BREAKFAST SKRAWK! TIME TO DIG IN!”
The Diatrymon’s words caused Levi to jump and she subsequently sank deeper into the sand. "Levi, no food. Levi is shark!"
By the time she had dug herself out, the bird was less than half a mile away and closing in fast, like an earthbound torpedo. Levi ran in the opposite direction, as fast as she was able. Tripping over her own feet and then falling. Rolling over her self in the sand, down and down and down. Until she crashed right into cold, refreshing water and floated atop it. "Levi dizzzzzyyyy.... Levi very dizz..." She muttered, tiny bubbles floating up as she surfaced.
The Diatrymon looked down from atop the hill and skwarked its annoyance before turning around to find a fresh meal. For a while, Levi floated atop the oasis, looking like a large pool float—quite unaware that she still wasn’t alone.

Masamune's antenna wiggled rapidly and before the sword wielding Kunemon could turn around a loud splash was heard as Levi landed in the oasis. Now turned around Masamune looked all around before scurrying over to the oasis seeing Levi floating in it before he said "Hey over there, kew. Are you okay, kew?"
His antenna wiggled once again his focus on the the top of the hill seeing the Diatrymon standing on the top of the hill. Sure Masamune could armor digivolve but the warrior bug hoped that the large bird was friendly even though he had his doubts about that. "Good thing I can armor digivolve if need be, kew. I just hope it doesn't come to that." His attention went back to Levi while using his antenna to keep Diatrymon before flipping his Tenken into his mandible holding it out intending to help Levi out if need be.

The grumpy dinosaur-like bird took a look at the two of them, let out a fierce squawk and then turned tail and vanished back into the desert. Clearly too lazy to even try to deal with whatever this situation was…
Glad that it hadn’t turned into a brawl, Levi emerged from the cool oasis pool and then turned to look at the creature who had spoken. Or well, she tried too. She was still wobbling from side-to-side as the little shark tried to regain her composure. Her large yellow eyes seemed to be spinning inside her head.
But from what she could tell, it was some kind of small bug-like creature. Bright yellow which caused it to blend into the desert, somewhat. Albeit accented by red and blue. Her head tilted a little, confused once more. “Uh, hallow, iz a Levi! Iz an okay, now. Now the scary birdy gone!” she said, pointing her fins inward towards herself. Then, she pressed a fin to her chin and considered what to say next. “Who is the you’ze and where are the we?” Her head tilting from side to side
She turned again from side to side trying to figure out exactly where she was.

Masamune's body tensed as Diatrymon let out a fierce sounding squawk. The sword wielding Kunemon was ready for things to get messy but then the bird like digimon did something he wasn't expecting by turning tail and fleeing into the desert. This was baffling a sight indeed given Diatrymon were champion level digimon normally and could usually more than hold their own against a pair of rookies. Figuring he'd still keep his guard up incase Diatrymon came back Masamune flipped Tenken the sword landing neatly back into its sheath.
Masamune turned his attention back to the small shark digimon who seemed to be wobbling as if trying to regain composure. Was she okay? Then the shark digimon spoke up sounding confused as she introduced herself as Levi before asking who he was and where they were. At least these were questions Masamune could definitely answer as he replied "Hello, Levi kew. My name is Masamune and the digimon I am is called Kunemon if you weren't aware of my species, kew. As for where we are we are at the Kilobyte Oasis somewhere in the region known as the Western Flatlands, kew. As for Diatrymon we should keep our guard up if we decide to look into these curious ruins that rose out of the oasis itself, kew. Though I find it odd that the ruins smell of seawater given the oasis consists of fresh water not saltwater, kew."

The Diatrymon had vanished over the horizon, lost in the deep dunes of the desert that seemed to stretch on for miles. The little buggy friend, Masamune, seemed a little tense about it. Levi tilted her head a little. “Himb, jus’a big ol’ scardy cat! Now he gone! Bye bye”
Masamune began to introduce himself and then gave her a little background on where she had wandered. Levi tilted her head a little more, until her head was almost horizontal and pressing against her shark’s shoulder. “The ruins? They iz new?” She turned on the spot to look at the stone walls that stood resolutely, half-buried in the sand. The stone appeared to be extremely old and worn down by the harsh conditions of the desert, or as least that was how it felt.
“Levi wanna go looks inside? Buggy friend wanna go withs?” Her large eyes seemed oddly bright all of a sudden as the familiar call of adventure rang out. So much so, she that she forgot about the loss of Fenixmon for the time being. “How does we get in though?”
---
Two Digimon sat lying in wait, just out of sight of Levi and Masamune. Crouched down to avoid attention, which was admittedly difficult when you’re made of flicking flame from head to foot. Meramon chuckled as he watched Levi, her head tilting from side to side. Diatrymon laid at the side of a second figure, flat in the sand. Letting out low squawks as a hand patted his scaled head.
“So, uh, that’s the one who’s been causin’ all the trouble for us? The one who took down Mimicmon?”
“As the reports say,” the second said. “Mimicmon isn’t out yet. He may yet recover.” The second figure was bird-like, with large sandy wings wrapped around his body. A shimmering sword lay in the belt of the red robes which fell to his clawed feet.
“Whatever ya’ say Buraimon. Not that it matters. So When we gonna… y’know…” Meramon said, putting a flicking, bright orange finger to his neck and slowly pulled it across.
“Soon. Very soon.”

Levi's words regarding Diatrymon baffled Masamune which was clear by the soft clicking sound of his mandible not to mention his head cocked to the side resulting in both gestures outwardly reflecting the confusion the little Kunemon felt. Then Masamune asked "Levi, do you know that guy or something kew? Is that why you seem certain that he is both a scaredy cat and gone kew?"
When Levi asked if the ruins are new Masamune answered "Not sure kew. Here in the Digital World all I know is that not everything is always as it seems kew." Then when Levi mentioned wanting to go inside the small shark digimon asked if Masamune wanted to go with before asking how to get in. "Looking inside these ruins does sound interesting kew. So maybe if we find an entrance to the ruins we could go in and look around for a little while kew."
Masamune scuttled along the sand moving around the ruins occasionally brushing the walls with his antenna. It was then one of the especially large bricks had a curiously different feeling to it which caused him to say "Wait there is something odd about this large brick kew. Maybe kew......" With that the inquisitive little bug pushed his small body into the large brick which resulted in the brick sliding inside the ruins creating an opening. "Hey, Levi, it looks like we have a way inside now kew. We should be fine in there as long as we watch what we are doing in there kew."

Confused by his confusion, Levi tilted her head again, pressing a tiny fin up to her mouth. After a moment of silence between the two; Levi said in a bright and cheerful voice. “Levi met… a...Diatrymon before. But was big blowhard! So, Levi no scared of the big birdy’s” Finishing off with a decisive head nod. As if this actually answered his question in the slightest… (it didn't)
The little shark watched with interest as Masamune moved slowly around the wall. His long feathery antenna brushing the bricks as it went. Levi’s head continued to slowly tilt from side to side as she watched in silence. Not wanting to interrupt but, also not wanting to miss anything that may or may not happen. So, she looked on with polite interest.
When Masamune mentioned an odd brick, Levi craned her head forward to get a better look herself. Her large eyes bright with wonder and her tail wagging with sheer excitement. “Woah, magic-super-secret-mystery-door...woah!” Levi muttered moving in to get a closer look at the corridor beyond leading into darkness. “Levi and Masa...Masa...buggy, go in?”
“Uh, uh, uh. I don’t think so,” A voice erupted from over the hills of sand surrounding them. Levi turned, her eyes squinting to catch sight of a human-shaped something sliding down the sand. Almost like a living flame, flickering from red, to orange to yellow. “You’re not going anywhere, little shark,” it said, throwing its arm back and then forward, like pitching a baseball. The ball of flame struck the wall just behind Levi and Masamune and vanished. “Warning shot, don’t run. Don’t try anything foolish. GOT IT?” Meramon held up his hands, one pointing at Levi and the tiny insect.
“Ooo, you’re shiny and fun,” Levi said, her eyes watching the flicking flames which were his body. “Can we be friends too?! Me iz a Levi! Who iz the you, Mr. Candle?”

Masamune looked at Levi before vocalizing with a confused sounding click of his mandible. Sure Levi seemed to be a perfectly nice digimon but she was admittedly confusing to him as well. Then Masamune shook his head not letting the confusion hinder his curiosity regarding the ruins.
Sure when Masamune revealed an entrance Levi's sounded excited as she moved closer. Then when she seemed to have trouble with saying his name Masamune chuckled before he turned to her and said "I can see how someone like myself who has a long name can be tricky to say to some people digimon or human alike, kew." The warrior bug didn't seem put off by Levi calling him buggy. Coming from a seemingly innocent sounding shark digimon being addressed as buggy was kind of cute.
However right after Levi's question the sound of a voice erupting over the hills caused Masamune's antenna to vibrate rapidly. The sight of a humanoid flaming digimon coming into sight made Masamune tense his body before a fireball struck the wall just behind them. However before Meramon could get a chance to speak Masamune had not just unsheathed his katana Tenken but had armor digivolved silently into BushiAgumon. Stepping protectively in front of Levi the BushiAgumon known to some as Masamune said "You seem brave when the intended victim is just a pair of rookies, kew. I myself have no tolerance for bullies like yourself, kew. As you can see I can armor digivolve so am not that easy of a target, kew. So friend I suggest you yourself to shove off, kew." Levi seemed to try to make friends with the Meramon who fired a warning shot. While admirable that she seemed to be the type who wanted to make friends with everyone in sight. Oh if only all digimon were as kind and sweet as her.

Meramon tilted his head back and let loose a bellow of a laugh, down deep from his core. “Friends with a little shark who gets in the way of all the bosses plans, yeah. I don’t think so, but nice try.” Standing back straight, Meramon clicked his fingers and another ball of swirling, flicking red hot flames appeared in his palm. He smiled again, threw the ball of flames into the air and consumed it once again.
“Levi, no friend?” The shark said, sadly. Her head tilting to one side. The, her eyes fell on Masamune who had transformed beside her, and with a single movement moved in front of Levi. A shimmering silver sword raised. “Woah, buggy-friend is super duper super cool!!”
Meramon looked on with mingled interest as Masamune transformed. Replacing the scrawny little insect was a less scrawny dinosaur with a sword. “Aww you’re cute, but I’m not threatened. Not one little bit.” He stepped forward, closer to Masamune and Levi.
The flames of his body flickering ever more violently. “Wanna know what fire does? It burns, and consumes, becomes bigger and wilder until whatever it touch to ashes. That’s you, that is BOTH of you.” His eyes flashed menacingly as he reached out a hand to grab Levi. “It’s beautiful, ISN'T IT."
“Surging Shark!”
Before Meramon could react or do anything to stop it; a shark made out of pressurized water appeared out of nowhere with a loud pop. The shark snapped at the air and then moved forward, swimming through the air with great speed.
As the fangs of the shark bit down on Meramon’s arm, the contact of water and flames caused a curtain of steam to erupt from the wound. “No hurt, Levi friend!” She said, quickly changing her mind about wanting to befriend this monster.
Surging Shark [Technique] Levi creates a small sphere of pressurized water between her fins and throws it at an opponent. As it travels towards an opponent, the ball of water transforms into a rampaging shark. This creature of water acts like a real shark would, mercilessly biting at a opponent. After two turns, the shark dissipates back into water. ○ Lasts 2 turns. Cooldown: 3 turns.

Holding the Tenken defensively in front of him Masamune snorted with annoyance at Meramon laughing at Levi who sounded sad that Meramon was less than eager to be a friend but what caught Masamune's attention most was when the fiery monster mentioned having a boss which caused Masamune to growl softly before standing firm as he asked "And just who is this so called boss that they are commanding you to bully those smaller than you, kew?" Then Masamune snorted with disgust before he then snarled "Both you and your boss sound like dishonorable cowards, kew. Neither Levi nor myself did anything to warrant this attack, kew."
As Meramon carried on about not feeling threatened while stepping closer to the pair Masamune rolled his eyes before he said "I may be cute but I am tougher than I appear, kew. Surely by this point in your life you should know better than to not judge a book by its cover, kew. If not then I have no clue how you lived long enough to make it to the champion level, kew."
As Meramon moved to grab Levi the flaming digimon received quite the surprise in the form of the small shark digimon's Surging Shark attack. Now a shark made of pressurized water was chomping down on Meramon's arm and, with that, Masamune knew this was his chance to strike. "Divine Sword Slash, kew!" he exclaimed leaping forward swinging his holy blade Tenken at Meramon. If Meramon was of the evil alignment than he would be in for quite a nasty surprise for the Tenken was a slayer of evil doing more damage to those that were evil than non evil digimon.
OOC: Divine Sword Slash: Swings his holy katana around in an effort to slice into an enemy. 30% extra damage to digimon of the evil alignment.

Levi gritted her teeth and she moved forward to get in another attack to the distracted Meramon. The shark of water still gnawing against the flames of his arm. Stream continuing to pour outwards from the clash of the elements. “You little brat, I’ll burn you alive!” Meramon let loose a crazed yell which shifted into a laugh of chaotic pleasure.
“Heat Knuckle. NOOOOOW!” Meramon’s free hand flew around, striking the water-formed shark right in its jaw. The resulting blow knocked it from his arm and sending it soaring up into the air. “Bye bye, sharky.” With a loud pop, like a bubble, the shark vanished. “Ouch, ouch, ouch,” Levi said, falling backwards and rolling into the sand, bumping her back and then head as she fell.
Masamune took his chance and launched forward with his own attack but before it could reach Meramon, there was a clash of metal on metal. Another Digimon stood between them. Dressed in a long robe of scarlet; long wings of tan feathers, curled behind them. Shimmering swords in each hand.
“Not bad, for a bug.” Both of Buraimon’s blade’s clashed with Masamune’s Tenken and pushed against him. “I am Buraimon, the scarlet hunter, in the employ of Titan. Some may call me a bounty hunter, but I only fight against the best. I am yet to see how either of you apply.”
Meramon jumped backwards to join Buraimon. “I am Meramon, the burning inferno. I just want all of you to burn into ashes,” he said, releasing another laugh of chaotic joy as he readied another flame attack.
“Levi no likes you, both of you.” The shark said, pouting a little. “Buggy and Levi go in,” she said, slowly standing back up and pointing a fin at the still open entrance of the ruins. “Bye bye, baddies?”

Masamune clenched his teeth in frustration as Meramon popped Levi's water shark that was gnawing on him like a chew toy as if the water shark were merely a bubble and not pressurized water with teeth. Shame the attack didn't last as long as Masamune had hoped it would. However the act seemed to hurt Levi causing her to fall backwards into the sand and roll. Not taking his attention off of Meramon he called back to Levi as he asked "Levi, are you okay kew?"
As for Masamune's attempt to attack Meramon it was thwarted by a Buraimon dressed in scarlet robes carrying swords in each hand that were shimmering similar to his own sword Tenken. Could they be holy swords like his own or even possess magical properties from other elements? That was something to ponder at another time as Buraimon introduced himself with the title of the scarlet hunter and Meramon used the title of the burning inferno. However who was this Titan this feathered bounty hunter was employed by? "Well Scarlet Hunter Buraimon and Burning Inferno Meramon my name is Masamune and while I don't have some fancy title like you two I am a humble and honorable wondering warrior, kew." Masamune said his fangs clicking much like how his mandibles in his rookie form would.
Masamune silently agreed with Levi on not liking these guys and when she said Buggy and Levi go in Masamune nodded before backing off cautiously and quickly gently nudging Masamune towards the entrance to the ruins as he said "Seeing as we are now up against two champion form digimon I agree that a tactical retreat is the best idea, kew. Perhaps we can find something inside to help us out, kew. Who knows with old buildings, kew?"
The young pair made there way into the ruins and Masamune was glad his armor champion form was still small and able to maneuver in the narrow tunnels. Sure Buraimon and Meramon could theoretically follow but the passages wouldn't accomodate them moving side by side due to their size compared to Levi and Masamune.

The so-called Burning Inferno, Meramon let out a loud howl of laughter. Watching the clash between Masamune and Buraimon’s swords. “You know I didn’t need your help, right?” His flames seemed to flicker ever more brightly and wildly from the deepest red to a boiling orange. “I wanted to boil them myself and then see the ashes float away.”
“Irrelevant. I saw a swordsmen and I wanted to test their steel. But, I am unimpressed.” Buraimon jumped backwards. Placing each of his swords back in their scabbards, the giant bird shrugged. “I leave them to you, in that case.”
“Finally, now I can really turn up the heat!” Meramon screamed as his flames rippled ever more viciously. Causing the air around his body to ripple and distort ever so slightly.
Levi tilted her head a little to one side and then back to the other as she focused on the giant walking candle. It was clear that he was charging up for something big and dangerous.
“Flame guy is weird, but scary. Levi think we should be careful round him.”
Masamune seemed to agree that a retreat into the ruins was their best course of action. Due to Meramon’s size as well as Buraimon, they would struggle to climb through the passages, while the smaller Levi and Buggy would be fine and could explore at will.
“Hmm, Levi doesn’t know what inside the this, but Levi think it safer,” She said, turning tail and following the lizard through the narrow tunnel into cold, damp but safer darkness.
Meramon’s face contorted with horrible aggression. “I don’t think so, brats. Magma Blaze!” The flame monster raised his hands and from the palm flew a wild burst of magma, red hot and dangerous. “I’ll boil them alive!”
“Whatever you wish...”

Meramon, who called himself the Burning Inferno seemed to be amused by the clash between Masamune and the Scarlet Hunter now known as Buraimon. Meramon's loud boisterously arrogant attitude was starting to get on Masamune's nerves as he heard the walking candle brag about not needing help. Though Masamune was young he was wise enough to know poking the proverbial bear was not the wisest option at this time.
Masamune snorted at Buraimon's words before he said "Of course a coward like yourself would be unimpressed seeing as you are picking on a two young digimon with only one of us being able to armor digivolve, kew. What kind of swordsmon desires to test their strength in such a dishonorable manner, kew?"
Masamune nodded quietly in agreement at Levi's words as the pair vanished into the ruins. "Weird is not the only accurate description of that walking candle, kew. He is also arrogant and that will likely be his fall one day, kew." Masamune muttered at a barely audible level.
As the pair made their way down the corridors Masamune felt it begin to get warmer in there before he turned seeing Meramon's Magma Blaze not only light up the tunnel but send red hot magma flowing into the ruins causing Masamune to say. "You have got to be kidding me, kew. Looks like hothead isn't giving up so easily, Levi, so unless we want to be roasted alive, we should take advantage of the now lit up tunnel and run, kew."
Masamune took hold of Levi's flipper as he gently led her down the tunnel until it seemed to lead to a dead end. However, things weren't as hopeless as one would think before he glanced up seeing a small opening they could crawl through to safety. Sheathing the Tenken with his free hand before releasing Levi's flipper he cupped his clawed hands and said "Hurry, Levi, kew. Climb up into my hands and I'll give you a boost before climbing up into the opening myself, kew."
