[ENTER]
"VROOM, VROOOOOOM...!"
The motorcycle sound could be heard loudly around the desert. There were a motorcycle running and a dragon man of some sort flew across the desert, searching for the destination. Riding the motorcycle was an orange-haired girl with curvy body and large bust, in blue hoodie with an image of orange-armored samurai on the back over the white shirt, and the blue jeans, as well as sneakers. She was taking someone behind her in the same bike. After few miles, they arrived on the cave, in midst of desert.
The girl, Ryoko Satsuma dismounted from her bike and removed her helmet, while the dragon-man Digimon in space-suit, Ryusei the AstroGreymon landed before digi-devolving into his rookie form, SpaceAgumon. From what they heard, this cave was a bit suspicious as... there was like only in the desert. Could it be the entrance to Pleiades' Mines?
"Alrite. So we're here. Where do we begin...?" Ryoko asked. "Dunno. I think we shuld enter rite away." Ryusei suggested.
Ryoko then picked up two Digi-memories from her pocked, and then she tossed them up to the air before they unleashed streams of data, which then landed, forming into Digimons: Yuuki the Renamon and Nadeshiko the Angewomon.
"Bullfight KITAAAAA~!" Yuuki squealed in joy after discovering they were right in the cave, or she thought was. "Let's go, Ryo-chan, Ryu-chan!" Nadeshiko exclaimed.
The group then entered the cave, and discovered a set of rock staircase, which could lead to the mines, it seemed. They then proceeded to walk carefully to the cave.
"Ne, Onee-chan, for sum reason I've bad feelin' of 'tis." Ryusei said. "Me too." Ryoko nodded.
After several steps, they got into the underground passageway. They could hear sound of machinery somewhere around there. Could it be... they were so close? The group then continued walking through the passageway, until Ryoko discovered a rock that glittered like a silver, but that wasn't even silver at all. "Huh? Wut ittiz?" Ryoko gawked as she picked up the silvery rock. This rock seemed... stronger that it looked.

Flying above the desert, Elson scouted the endless sands looking for an entrance to this so called "Pleiades Mines", while the xros he was riding, Silversteamdramon-T followed Ryoko's motorbike and tried to keep up the pace in relation to it. It wasn't all that easy. Elson himself was uneasy. If someone had the trouble of hiding it within a mine hidden in the desert, then the cave was sure to contain something valuable. And where there was something a valuable, there was something to defend it from intruders. Intruders such as them.
As the bike stopped, Silversteamdramon-T began to fly downwards towards the famous girl and her digimon partner while she somehow summoned two additional digimon.
"Wait, she can summon more digimon too?" Elson asked his partner, suprised. There was no response. The hit the ground and the xros split before returning to Elson's xros loader. He got it: flying over half a desert in plain day and trying to keep up with a motorbike was bound to be exhausting. Silversteamdramon and Tinkermon neded to rest. Elson turned to Ryoko. "I'll dig down with Drimogemon, see if we can find anything we should worry about before bursting in the front door of whatever is here." Elson raised his fusion loader "Re-load, Drimogemon!"
The mole appeared ahead and with a gesture from Elson began to dig down, being rided by Elson. He wasn't sure of the mind of traps desert digimon could set, so he'd accompanny Drimogemon in the digging to be able to provide reenforcements in case of need.
"Don't go in, let me check things first!" Elson warned, being once again, ignored. He hated how this people just had this kind of disgard for him, just because they could evolve their digimon into a higher level.

Mana had been traveling on Ryoko's bike for a time now. After some while of gripping her toned body, her blush had descended and now she was more or less okay with that. The trip was quite enjoyable, as Ryoko sure had made it be fast. And the places were they went were mostly good sightseeing, but they finally stopped when they reached a cave's entrance in the middle of the desert. The possible entrance of the Pleiades Mines, it seemed.
As she descended from Ryoko's motorcycle, she evolved Ayaka up to her Kodamon form, and the pair greeted both Nadeshiko and Yuuki as they materialzed from some strange chip-thing. Even despite Elson's warnings, Ryoko entered that place, and so, Mana soon followed suit, but not without apologizing to the boy first. "Sorry, Elson-san, but she's the one at charge" she said with a quick bow before entering the strange cave.
Inside there, it seemed this wasn't an ordinary cave, as it had a stone stairway-esque shape on it, almost if someone had carved it. She followed Ryoko closely, yet she had this strange feeling that crept on her spine.
As both Mana and Ayaka descended, the sound of machinery could be clearly heard coming from somewhere, and the pair took it as if they were nearby the place. Their awareness grew as they walked, for there would be maybe a trap or something like that on their way. Finally, Ryoko had found a really strange rock that glittered with a silvery shine, yet... I didn't seem to be silver. Mana looked with puzzlement at it, thinking about what it could be. "Well, I haven't seen it before, so it must be quite exotic if you haven't too. Maybe it's something that can be only found in this cave?" she reasoned "It must have some pretty interesting traits too, can I see it after you're done with it?".

((I just like to note that this will also happen to be Jimmy's spirit hunt for anybody who happens to be reading, and so that when Jimmy does happens across his spirit, it doesn't look like something that just occurred at complete random.))
Jimmy stopped as he took a moment to wipe the sweat off his face and take a drink of water. How long have they been drudging through this dessert? It hasn't been a whole day yet as far as he could tell, but it definitely feels like it. Perhaps they should have bought some transportation when they had the chance. Yet no, someone said they'd be fine going through the desert as they were. At least they knew they weren't lost.
"Hey. What's the hold up?" He heard his Falcomon companion, Shin, call out to him.
"Sorry. I just need a second to catch my breath. I'm not use to this heat." Jimmy said with a sigh as he raised his left foot and shook it in a vain attempt to remove some of the sand in his shoe.
"Well alright then. Just don't take longer then you need to. You don't want to be in this desert longer then you want to, do you?" Shin remarked as he kept an eye out for any threats.
"Yeah." Something then dawned on Jimmy as he looked back up at Shin. "You know Shin. You seem awfully comfortable in this heat."
Before Shin could respond however, both of them heard the distant sound of a motor running. They looked over in that direction to see a silhouette of a figure in the horizon moving through the desert. A large shadow moving across the sands called the pairs attention to above them, where they saw a strange figure flying above them. It looked like they were both heading in the same direction.
"Jimmy. What direction did your D-tector tell you to go?" Shin asked in a worried voice.
Knowing what Shin was going on about, Jimmy pulled out his digivice and looked at the globe like radar that was currently being displayed on it. "If I were to guess. The same direction those two were heading."
Shin growled at the news. "I don't like this. Something must be going down to draw so many people in the same direction in the middle of the desert."
"Do you think their both after the same thing we're after?"
"I doubt it. It'll be highly unusually for a totem to be calling out to any body but, you. Though it may have something to include why the totem started calling out to you so suddenly."
"Yeah." Jimmy said with a nod as he crossed his arms.
"Whatever the case may be, we should be careful. While I doubt the cyclist took notice of us from this distance, I wouldn't be to surprised if the flyer had managed to spot us." Shin gave a frustrated sigh as he looked back up, "Whatever the case maybe, we're going to have to keep moving forward and hope we don't end up being caught up in the middle of whatever is going on."
Jimmy nodded before the pair of them continued on their way. While he didn't want to keep moving just yet, he more then understood the urgency. If there was something going on, then the spirit totem was most likely being put at risk because of it. Yet there was still a something that bothered Jimmy. Since when have they never gotten in the middle of something big that happens to be going on?

As Ryoko examined the rock, Mana asked her if she could check it as well. The busty tomboy wasn't sure about that, but someone could identify what it was, could they? Besides, this rock, if Mana was right, was exclusive in that place only. Could this be... a mine of such rock?
"Sure." Ryoko answered Mana as she handed the glittering rock. She then turned to Ryusei. "Ryusei, can ya analyze 'tis rock?" "Dunno, but I'll try." Ryusei answered his tamer's question. "Radar."
RADAR, ON.
After Ryoko's D-3 announced, the spectral parts emerged around Ryusei's left arm, assembling on its Square Port before materializing as a display monitor with a radar dome disc of some sort. That was the Astro Module #4: Radar Tracker. Ryusei then pointed the disc at the rock Mana was holding before looking at the display status.
"Well, I never seen 'tis kind of rock, either. High density, slightly light mass, 'n great compactness. It's a composite of a stone and metal, it seems." Ryusei pointed out the analysis result. Ryoko turned off the module, resulting of the said radar to disappear. "Maybe it's an hybrid ore?" Yuuki asked. "Dunno. But we've got sumthin' to do. By 'da way, I wonder wut Elson's doin' thar..." Ryoko said. "Let's go."
The group then walked through the passageway, and then they saw something ahead. It was another passageway with rails of some sort for trolleys, seemingly to carry the ores from mining. There were pipes to run and exhaust the gases all around the passageway's ceilings. And it seemed like, long passageway. If only there was a trolley of some sort, they could go through this passageway in no time.
"Man, looks like we've to go a long track." Ryoko sighed in slight lament. "Oi,Shuld we wait for Elson 'n Silvia first?" Ryusei suggested. "Yea, maybe y're rite." Ryoko nodded.
Nadeshiko noticed something on the ceilings. she was a bit scared, that she clinged on Ryoko's arm. "R-Ryo-chan!" Nadeshiko yelped as she clinged on Ryoko's arm. "Wuzzap, Nana-chan?" Ryoko asked. "T-There..." Nadeshiko muttered as she pointed at the Digimons hanging under the passageway ceilings with trembled hand. There were Pipismons hanging on the tree, sleeping. "Psst! Don't make any voice, okay?" Ryoko whispered. " I hate to say 'tis, but stay close to me if y're scared." "Oh, Ryo-chan... I know I can depend on you..." Nadeshiko cooed quietly, as her face blushed and trying to rest her head on Ryoko's shoulder, as if they were lovers. Ryoko just sighed in slight lament, that she had to bear with Nadeshiko's flirting for a while. Stay quiet or Pipismons will attack you. Speaking of which, where's Elson?

They've all got the same heartbeat, but her's is falling behind. -Terminus City-AJ and Patch walked down the street with Nova and Sparks. After school that day, they had just decided that a trip to the Digital World was in need. They had met Sparks and Nova on the other side and decided to do some shopping. As they walked in the concrete jungles, AJ's eyes shifted from side to side, still enamored by the sheer size of the city. That was when a buzzing in her backpack caught her attention. She dug through the front pocket and found her D-terminal which was chiming. Baby blues scanned the message before turning to Nova and showing him. --- AJ spread her hand over her eyes, squinting against the harsh sunlight. It didn't help much that the sand reflected it all back in her eyes anyways. From this high up, they could see everything. Patch's wings beat as he flew towards the south, where the e-mail had told them to meet. "Hey! Down there! That matches the description Ryoko sent us!" She pointed. As instructed, Patch slowed down and made his descent. Sure enough, when they hit the ground, they found themselves at the entrance of a cave. They made their way, and AJ sighed. The coolness of the cave was very welcoming after being in the desert heat for sometime. Upon entering, AJ paused momentarily as she listened. Sure enough, she could hear the voices of the others further in. Just a few minutes and she saw several familiar faces including Ryoko, Ryusei and their mercenaries, Ayaka and Mana...and hey, even Jimmy was here. She smiled and waved while Patch gave a solitary salute. He was much more...polite in this form. "Hey guys! What's up?" Glancing over at Ryusei, she nodded, " Got your message. Nova should be here soon."

A small note: never try to inspect a desert's underground without some kind of submarine. Elson was arledy quite blinded by the unending sand and really tired of having to hold on to Drimogemon's fur , and the worst they found was a digmon and a couple of Skullskorpiomon's. But they were in a digital world, desert, finding that kind of digimon there was nothing too special. It was time to get to others now.
Patting Drimogemon's right arm twice, which was the agreed signal for the mole digimon to go back to the group, Drimigemon turned and digged in another direction. Yet for some reason, it stopped and Elson would have seen sparks around himself if not for the fact that he couldn't see at all at the moment. The mole was trying it's best to dig through the rock they found of no kind he saw before. Yet, slowly they manged to get through and bursted into the remaining people and digimon as the hole opened to this weird tunnel, causing several rocks to randomly fly in every direction. Elson stodd with difficulty and Drimigemon got back into the fusion loader. Walking worse than a drunk due to being temporalily blinded, Elson tried to see where he was going by using his hands and feet alone.
"This is embarassing, but...I kinda can't see, my eyes are filled with sand, so if you could just tell me if I'm going to some pit or about to step on a bear trap, ok?" he requested. " And it would also be nice if you told me where you are."

Mana took the rock in her hands. It was harder than any rock she had touched before, and after Ryusei finished scanning it, but before she could do it on a throughly manner, both AJ and an Angemon (Patch, maybe?) appeared. Mana, almost forgetting about the rock, smiled at her and the angel while Ayaka bowed at them. "Avery-san, Patch-san!" she said as on the lowest tone that her excited voice could "I'm so glad you could make it! Hopefully Nova will arrive soon!".
She covered her mouth with her hands quickly after Nadeshiko pointed the the Pipismons. Dang, they stirred a little, but luckily they didn't wake up. Phew, she would have felt so bad if they had. She blushed a little at Nadeshiko's obvious flirting at Ryoko, thinking it to be just too... cheeky? It was rather obvious that her idol wasn't interested in the Angewomon, and after looking at Patch on his Angemon form she thought that they would actually... look cute together?
Her fangirlish shipping thoughts were interrumpted on a quick fashion after she heard the loud drilling sound that came from one the cave's walls. It was Elson and his army; the offending sound came from his Drimogemon. She looked at the ceiling, hoping that the Pipismons won't wake up, but the sound had been too loud. She and Ayaka prepared themselves. So much for a stealthy entry.

Ugh... Why must treking through the dessert be so difficult? Well it took them awhile, but at least Jimmy and Shin had finally made it to the cave entrance. It was kindof suspicious to find a cave in the middle of the dessert like this, but one look at Jimmy's digivice showed that they were at the right place. It was also apparent they weren't alone.
"Well it seems we were right in thinking that the two we saw before were heading in this direction. Plus I'm guessing that other shadow we saw was heading here too." Malm said as he looked at tunnel and motorcycle that were left by the entrance. Wait a second. Could it be?
"Yeah. Were going to have to play it safe until we know the party that came before us is friendly." Shin paused as he turned to look at Jimmy to see the teen seemingly entranced by the bike, "Jimmy, what's wrong?"
"I... I think I may know who the owner of this bike is." Jimmy told Shin as he looked back towards the Falcomon, "Do you remember the girl we met back when I returned to the human world?"
"Uhh... Kind of..." A flash of inspiration then struck Shin, "Wait. You mean that biker chick who had that weird spaceman as a partner and was friends with that weird guy?"
"Well that's a crude way of putting it, but yes." Jimmy said as he looked back at the bike with his arms crossed. The last time he saw her was the night of the Earth Day concert. What a hectic night that was. First a couple of Mega digimon attacked the concert, then when he got back home, he had to stop a couple of would be burglars from robbing his house. He never felt more useless in his life.
It was a night he would never forget. The night when he decided to go back to the digital world.
"Hey Jimmy. Snap out of it." Jimmy heard Shin say as he snapped out of his trance.
"Huh? What is it?" Jimmy said as he turned back towards Shin who was near the cave entrance.
"This isn't the time or place to be spacing out at. Come over here and listen."
Jimmy nodded as he walked over to the cave entrance and closed his eyes in order to focus his hearing. It sounded like there was some kind of commotion going on down there, but of what kind, Jimmy couldn't tell.
"Caves like these are home to many different kinds of digimon that don't take to kindly to being disturbed." Shin stated.
"Wait... You think Ryoko and whoever went down there with her are in trouble?"
"I don't know. It's hard to really tell from this distance. To be honest, the noise were hearing could just as easily be whoever is made that tunnel. However, if that's the case, then it's likely that they'll be in trouble soon enough." Shin sighed as he looked over at Jimmy, "Jimmy, are you sure this Ryoko girl won't attack us?"
"Yeah" Jimmy quickly asserted with out a single hesitation in his mind. Yet that didn't last long as remembered something else that had occured during the day they last met. Something that unnerved.
Not catching Jimmy's hesitation, Shin nodded as he said, "Okay. We should make haste then. And I suggest not spirit evolving until we know what exactly is going on. No need for a walking glowstick ruin our cover before we know what's going on." Shin then began the decent into the cave with Jimmy hesitantly following behind.
Ryoko knows us. She wouldn't attack us without reason. Yet, then again, she, or at least some part of her, seemed awfully friendly with that digimon that attacked the concert for awhile there. Doubt began to set in as Jimmy began to wonder if it was actually a good idea to go in there themselves, yet he quickly remembered the reason they came here for. At very least the caves were much cooler then the smelting hot heat they had to deal with outside.

(OOC: Juz to clarify, there's no post order here for sake of ease of reply. Thank ya.)
Just after Ryoko told Nadeshiko to stay close to her, Avery arrived with Patch. Well, the more the merrier. But she should have kept her voice down, due to... them.
"Yo, AJ." Ryoko greeted the Italian-born girl, trying to keep her voice down due to the Pipismons. And then there were Drimogemon crushing the wall of the cave. And Elson's eyes blinded by sands. Though, he got better. However... "GIIIIIIII!!!"One of the Pipismons woke up from the loud drilling sound. Being bat Digimon, they had sensitive hearing, though jus mere whispering didn't wake them up. But the drilling sound was loud enough to wake them up. The shriek of its, woke up other Pipismons. "Uh-oh..." Ryoko deadpanned as the Pipismons woke up. "Juz great timing, Elson. Juz great." Ryusei remarked with sarcastic tone. With the Pipismons awoken, they descended towards the group to attack them! Ryoko and Ryusei readied themselves for horde fight. She knew what Module would work on them. "KYAAAAAAAAA~!" Nadeshiko screamed in fear as she clinged on Ryoko's arm tighter. "Relax, 'kay?" Ryoko said to the angelic womon. "Okay, Ryusei! Zap 'em! Ikuze!" Ryoko told the space dinosaur as she activated the Astro Module #10: Billy The Rod. "Alrite!" Ryusei nodded. ELEC, ON.As Ryoko's Digivice announced and the Pipismons crowded Ryusei around, his Circle Port on the right arm turned gold before his body emitted yellow light. His body grew taller to 8 feet, and the electricity current emanated from it just before the light dissipated, revealing the Greymon-type Digimon in golden technician suit with electric discs on the shoulder and chest, thunder-like blade on the end of his tail, and space shuttle-like mask. He held some kind of nightstick in his right hand, with three plugs and a socket. Just after some of the Pipismons took the electric current, they passed out. "ELECGREYMON! Zappin' time KITAAAAAAA~!" Ryusei in his champion form, ElecGreymon shouted hammily as he plugged the socket into the leftmost plug of the nightstick. He then proceeded to whack and strike the Pipismons, though most of them evaded his attacks. "I'll make da Pipismons busy! Ya can run nao!" Ryusei told the group, mostly to the humans. Probably the other Digimons who could Digivolve to at least Champion level could help him. "Guys, run!" She instructed the Yuuki and the others to run, while Ryoko stayed behind. However, Nadeshiko was too scared to run away, so she decided to stay with her crush, still clinging on her arm. "Wut y're doin thar, Nana-chan?! Dun juz sit back, n help us!" Ryusei told the Angewomon. "B-but, I'm scared!" Nadeshiko said frantically. "Juz do it, NAO!" Ryusei shouted at her as he whacked the Pipismons, knocking some of them out from the stick's electricity. Nadeshiko then got over with her fear andwent from her clinging, proceeding to aim her arrow at the Pipismons. "Celestial Arrow!" Nadeshiko shouted as she shot the arrow toward a Pipismons before shooting other arrows to other Pipismons.

They've all got the same heartbeat, but her's is falling behind. AJ grinned as she was greeted by Mana and Ryoko. She walked up to the two girls she was familiar with and their partners.
"How's everything going? I got your message not too long ago while I was in Terminus City with Nova. Actually, I'm surprised he's not here by now."
A rumbling sound caught the Italian tamer's attention and she glanced over at the wall where a Drimogemon was drilling into the hallway where they all stood. She was pretty suprised to see Elson riding the Digimon. She had met Elson previously at the Primary Village.
The squeaking of the Pipismons made her icy gaze shoot upwards, eyes widening. She didn't shriek or anything like a normal girl would, but she did duck when a few of them swept down at her head.
Patch stepped up. bringing his golden rod around and about, whacking a few of them around. "Way to go Patch!" she yelled from a few feet back. "Now throw in a Hand of Fate!"
Just as he was told, he brought up a flaming fist with a declaration of the attack. "Hand of Fate!" He swung and managed to land a hit on quite a few of them. A shriek caught his attention and he noticed the Angewoman cowering at them. He quickly moved closer, bringing up his rod to deflect a few.

(OOC: I'll purpously making Elson look like an idiot during this part, as according to my timeline he arledy would have his first ult by this point, but since that thread's not done yet, I'll have to stall)
Elson was still blinded by the sands when the shrieks began. Digimon maybe? The sounds of what was going around him filled his ears, answering his question in the worst way possible, except fir a vague answer.
He now knew there was a fight going on.
Elson grabbed his fusion loader and...wait, where was it? He could have sworn he had it a moment ago...Then again, maybe he didn't? He searched the best he could as the battle raged around him, but it was really hard to search for something without using your eyes, having to trust your hands and feet alone. Elson swore if he lived long enough, he'd make a big donation to whatever medical research facility tried to heal blindness.
He was also growing worried. If he had lost his fusion loader in the tunnel Drimogemon had been digged... he might never see his partner's again, as the fusion loader would now be buried deep within the reset sands. Nomatter how annoying they were he still... He still cared about them. Losing his partners would be like stabbing himself in the chest four times. No, five.
He knew there were more people there than when he had left to explore. A.J and Patch for example. Too bad they couldn't just find his fusion loader by miracle or something. It would be nice.
Slowly Elson's visions began to return. He was still mostly only sewing stripes of the world around him, but at least he now knew they were dealing with bat-like digimoms. Yet, there were some terrifying knews for him: His fusion loader was still nowhere to be found and he couldn't even spot Drimogemon anywhere.

And so, due to Elson's drilling, the Pipismons had stirred and now they were fully awake and now were... well, doing Pipismon stuff. They had to deal with this fast or otherwise... well, the sound would be just too much and they'd probably have to deal with whatever was lurking inside this place... and that was what really scared Mana.
Not getting exactly why Ryusei went champion, but quickly realized that he was providing a distraction for the humans to get away so they could deal with them without collateral casualties. Mana smiled; she and Ayaka could take care of that. Her digivice began glowing with a faint green glow as its color scheme began changing into a deep pink one and two letters illuminated its screen; <MATRIX EVOLUTION>.
Ayaka's body began changing and maturing, finally reaching her Acerimon state shortly after. Making a quick dash to the middle of the Pipismon cluster, the fairy's body began releasing power from depth within her digicore. All the leaves of her body and hair took a red-brownish state, signaling the seasonal change her body was going through. As the leaves fell, a chilling wave emanated from her body. If her ability went as intended, that'd buy them enough time for the humans to get out of harm's way as they dealt with this.
OOC: Ayaka is using Winds of Change (Winter): Sends a cold wave that chills all the nearby enemies, greatly slowing them for 2 posts. 2-post cooldown. Active Season: Winter (Boosts the defense of all the nearby allies).

((Sorry for the wait.))
Jimmy and Shin moved down the cave as quickly as they could, spur on by the sounds of fighting they heard. Jimmy could only hope that they would make it there in time. Yet with every step he took, more fear he had about doing this. What help would he be anyways? Ryusei was a pretty powerful digimon as is, and he had little doubts the others they saw flying could handle themselves. Chances are, he would only get in the way like he did back at the concert.
It also came to his mind that he could have just been assuming that the ones they saw flying were friends with Ryoko. It could easily be the case that they were chasing her, or even be the other way around. That would also explain the fighting they were hearing right now. Ugh... There was just so little they truly knew right now. Could them heading down there be a bad choice?
"Jimmy what's the hold up?" Shin asked as he noticed Jimmy's movement slowing.
"Huh? It's... It's nothing." Jimmy muttered as he shook his head in an attempt to clear it.
"Good... Watch out."
"What?" Jimmy asked before he found himself being pushed down onto the ground as a few bat-like digimon flew overhead. "What were those?" Jimmy said as he pushed himself up and looked down the path to try to see the bat like digimon flying towards the exit.
"They were Pipismons. If I had to guess, they are the cause of, or at very least involved in, the fighting we're hearing. And seeing how they decided to prioritize escaping over trying to attack us, I'm guessing it's a fight they're losing." Shin explained as he picked himself off the ground as well.
"So they don't need our help then." Jimmy said a little downtrodden.
"Perhaps not, but we won't be able to tell until we get down there. Besides we have other reasons to be here. Remember?"
"Yeah. I remember." Jimmy said as he shivered a bit, the once comforting chill of the caves starting to get to him. Yet as he stood there, he heard something other then the fighting that was going on. "Shin do you hear that?"
"Hear what? The fighting?"
"No. Just... just listen for a second."
Shin growled in annoyance as he crossed his arms and listened. And sure enough, beyond the sound of fighting, there was the faint echo of machinery in the distance. "Why is there live machinery in a cave hidden in the middle of the desert." Shin pondered aloud as he tried to make sense of it.
"My thoughts exactly." Jimmy stated as he looked deeper in the cave, "Something tells me that machinery being active is related to both why Ryoko and whoever else is here, and why the spirit totem has called out to me." As Jimmy said that, something else dawned on him that caused him to take off.
"Jimmy, what are you..."
"The pipismon aren't going to be the only ones that group is going to have to worry themselves about." Jimmy shouted back as he pushed himself further.
"What do you mean?" Shin asked confused. Yet Shin could not hear Jimmy's answer as he had already gotten to far away. Shin just shook his head as he didn't see this being a good idea as he began to run after Jimmy. How much longer could this passageway be?

Argh, those Pipismons were annoying. They kept attacking and attacking, seemingly no end. Patch and Ayaka also helped him in this mess, although some of the Pipismons ran away. If zapping them one by one wasn't enough, there was another way. Ryusei moved the socket from the left plug into the rightmost plug. And massacre time begins.
"RIDER... TEN GIGAVOLT BUUURST!" Ryusei shouted in Large Ham fashion. He then plunged the rod into the ground to unleash electric shockwaves, which zapped the Pipismons until they passed out. All of them. After successfully knocking out those bat Digimons, Ryusei stored the rod into the holster on his left waist. Now they had nothing to worry.
"Phew, that was sumthin'." Ryusei sighed in relief. Now with the Pipismons taken care of, they could proceed to the next phase. Nadeshiko then went back clinging on Ryoko's arm, cue the awkwardness from her. "I always know that you're dependable..." Nadeshiko cooed before she... kissed Ryoko at her cheek? Ryoko just did nothing, as she was flustering. "Ssh, juz shaddup will ya?" Ryoko asked, feeling a bit awry.
She then noticed Elson there, and he seemed... a bit clumsy. She then shouted at him, "C'mon, Elson!'
Before she continued, she noticed someone. A boy with Falcomon? Could they be... Jimmy and his mercenary? Ryoko then waved at them and shouted, "Ooooi~!"
Assuming that Jimmy and Shin would go over to Ryoko, Nadeshiko, and Ryusei, the woman then said, "Glad y're here gaiz. Nyways, let's go." Ryoko's group then continued proceeding into the mines. Hopefully they would find whatever runs the mine soon enough. Suddenly, her D-Terminal ringed, and then she saw the message... from Nova?
I'm running late. Ran into a Scorpiomon and currently trying to get away. On a side note, I got a D-Terminal now! :3
- Nova Ozuka
