Jin looks at Elliot, nodding at his story, "so you fell down the river? Just like me " jin then tries to understand English and successed barely. He then gets confused as they continue to speak English. He then remembers why he shouldn't had left his English classes. All that aside Jin was focused on helping the little kid who lost his brother, " I am gonna help you Eliot. " he then heard the explosion as he lost his footing for a split second, he then quickly adjusting his feet and gets in a position that makes it easier for him to swing his bat.
"What was that!!? " shocked Jin yells, he was shocked, surprised and caught off guard. He then looked at tomomi who vaguely explained the device he has with him. "A D-scanner? " it was nothing to Specific and did not explain or make things clear to him, in fact it made it even hazier to him a spirit of an ancient digimon that calls out for him? That sounded even more far fetched than ever.
He then takes the divice that he has dropped earlier, at the moment of the explosion and takes out the bat and decided to use as a defensive weapon.

At Tomomi's suggestion, Elliot promptly pressed every button he could on his D-Scanner. It didn't respond, except for the beeping at timely intervals it had been doing for the entire conversation so far. He shot a sad look at the device, a little disappointed that he wasn't able to pull out any cool tricks for the group. "No luck. I am sorry," he said, as if he even knew what was being talked about at the moment. He didn't entirely understand what was being said, other than that finding them would help the group out a lot.
Knowing that Paige felt more comfortable with English as well helped him feel much better. At least, if push came to shove, there was somebody who could speak more complexly to. However, before he could respond to the fact, the group started snapping into action. The fireball sprouted an entire candle beneath it, and the tiny cat head began bravely jumping into the fray. The boy had no choice but to follow along, and hesitantly hobbled after the approaching Digimon as he looked toward the smoke. Slowly but surely, the smoke began to clear.
"I am telling you, there is nothing here."
The voice was unmistakable as it pierced through the fog. Elliot's face practically lit up. "Isa-" he started to shout, but quickly hushed himself as the smoke finally blew away. What else could you do but fall silent when you notice a tank-like figure, about the size of a professional wrestler hunched over a tiny go-kart, hovering behind your brother?
Too late. The tank drove between the two, letting out an uproarious laugh. "It's rainin' 'umies over 'ere! If it ain't me lucky day!" he guffawed, the two gun-toting dinosaurs climbing off of his tank-like base. "Maybe they got more shinies for us.
Shake 'em down, Boyz!"
The dinosaurs laughed as they advanced toward the group, not even bothering to keep their guns raised. These Digimon were a bunch of babies, and the humans were all so tiny! What would they have to fear?
Isaac tried to open his mouth to speak, and at least shout a warning to Elliot, but Kraktoof whacked him with a gun barrel to the face. He shot the tank a nasty glare, but decided not to open his mouth further. "When'd I say you could speak? Not 'til we find the loot, that's when! Wave that beepy around, make yourself useful." Begrudgingly the boy obliged, holding his Digivice skyward and waving it back and forth. It still beeped at regular intervals, but seemed to speed up slightly when held northward. The boy pointed forward, only for Kraktoof to grab him and drive off in that direction.

Tomomi's face dropped from that of a pleasant boy to a face of utter anger and disgust. Are they forcing that poor boy to work? Those....monsters! He first walked over to Jin, putting his hand on the guy's wrist, and forcing him to lower the bat, "Weapons will do you no good here. You need digimon to fight against them. I will not allow yourself to get killed thinking a bat can save you." He starts to walk forward to Elliot, "If you even attempt to try and fight them, I'll knock you out." The formalities had to be dropped, he wasn't going to let anyone get hurt. Not on his watch.
Tomomi put his hand on the little boys head, hoping this would calm him a little. "Elliot, stand back. I'll be able to fight them, but I'm going to need you to work on that D-Scanner. Think about using the power inside and saving your brother. It will help." Tomomi can only think about Takahiro...how wanting to save him so bad allowed Candlemon to armor digivolve. Which is exactly what he was going to do again.
Holding his digivice to the sky, he used the courage in his heart to yell out, "You guys think you can just take people and enslave them? Well, guess again! DIGIMENTAL UP!!!"
Candlemon jumped forward as a bright light overwhelmed him. This light grew and grew, until it was almost tripled in size. "Candlemon armor digivolve to!"
There was a blast of fire, as a tall, human standing lizard figure loomed over the two dinosaurs. It let out a roar, hoping to scare the two off. "Flarerizamon!" Tomomi and Kami deemed it unnecessary to slaughter minions unless they directly endangered someone.

Paige felt...she wasn't sure how she felt. But she knew for sure she did NOT like what she saw, that human boy being ordered around by those Digimon. And yet at the same time, she was not stupid; she was well aware of the fact that her own Digimon pretty much stood no chance. "Stop! Don't attack them!" she called out to the duo, hoping they'd listen to her, or even hear her. But no, they seemed disinclined to listen, both due to the human boy and due to the simple fact that they were Digimon. Fighting was in their nature, to a degree.
Unfortunately, as Paige had guessed, the two tiny Digimon stood no chance, given the fact that their attacks were harmlessly dissipating off the bigger Digimon once they hit them. In all likelihood, they were an annoyance more than anything else. "Is...is that your brother, Elliot?" the girl asked the boy, glancing at him before focusing her attention on the bad, bad situation before them. She didn't even comment on the...strange way the other boy Digivolved his Digimon.
Not that she was an expert in that field, but she was sure Kai would have mentioned it if Digigvolving worked that way. Or maybe not; the unknown factor was the reason she didn't speak about it. "Nyaromon and Cupimon are gonna fight too," she spoke a moment later to Tomomi. "If uhm...if they have to. I don't think I could get them to stop now if those Digimon aren't nice." of course, they probably weren't nice, given the fact that they were forcing a human to work for them.

Jin lowers down his bat . He hated to admit , but it looks like there is nothing he could do . He stood there grinding his teeth . Knowing that there is an innocent who kid being held against his will . He saw nakamurar's digimon evlove into some thing that looks fearsome , He then saw Paige's small creatures try to stand up and fight too . What bothered him the most was that he did not have any one to fight with like them , He then remembered what nakamura told him before . A spirit of ancient digimon calling out for him , using the power inside ?
Jin then takes out his digivice and stares deep into it . How could he use the power inside ? He then looked at everyone that was their , the two dinosaur digimon , Elliot , Nakamura and Paige . Although he does not know them too well still he wants to help them and help Elliot get back with his brother and go back to safety .
He then looks at his had which has a weird energy-like data around it . his eyes widen in shock , he was unable to say a word , he then heard a roar from his device the D-scanner , he instictivly put his hand near this device as more data wrapped around him , covering him completely . Jin began to shape shift and before he knew it he was on four legs .
"Liollmon " he said as he know unknowingly resembled a little lion , " Hey there leave them alone " he then roared . "Wait why did I roar ?" he then raises his paw and looks at it , he then yells in shock "whats wrong with me !?"

"Lookit 'em, Smith! They think they can 'urt us!" The two dinosaurs guffawed as they watched the two tiny Digimon limply attack them. Did these humans really think they'd back down so easily? Two of them didn't even have Digimon, and only one of them had a Digimon of any actual note. As far as Kraktoof's Boyz were concerned, this was gonna be an easy one. They'd take all of these humans' possessions, bring them right back to the boss, and be rolling in the dough. It'd be great!
Then things started to change. The candle changed forms again, now a lizard completely combused into flame Then one of the humans changed, and while a lion cub wasn't the most intimidating form it sure beat out a lightly-armed human on the threat scale. The numbers advantage had evaporated, and the scales had finally tipped in favor of Team 'Umie. One of the dinosaurs shot the other an uneasy look. "Kraktoof ain't payin' us enough for this," he muttered.
"Quit the bellyachin', Wesson!" Smith shouted. "A job's a job, and I ain't lettin' these 'umies come between us and our bits."
"Right. Right. 'ead in the game, ol' boy," Wesson muttered to himself. He gave himself a few slaps to the face to psych himself up, then lifted his gun high. "Lets give 'em 'ell! Lead Storm!" "Burst Bomber!" Wesson got one knee to brace himself before wildly firing his assault rifle into the group. While his gun was very imposing looking, anyone actually hit would find it much more like BB pellets than actual bullets. The grenade Smith hurled as he stood behind his battle brother, on the other hand, seemed a much more present threat. Its beeping reached a fever pitch as it rolled to the ground, a warning that any second now it'd go boom.
Elliot immediately ran from the grenade, then hit the floor. What else could he do? He had no partners, no protection, and couldn't turn into a lion like the older teen apparently could. All he could do was stay as far away from the action as possible and hope his new friends would be safe. The lingering feelings of uselessness still burned in his chest. Fortunately, it seemed like the Commandramon were far more interested in fighting off the opposing Digimon than executing some scared child. If he didn't make a peep, maybe they'd keep on ignoring him.
~~~~
Isaac and Kraktoof continued rolling on, turning whenever the beeping started going quiet again. It always seemed fairly simple of a path. North, then west. North, then west. It was a simple rhythm, and Kraktoof found himself humming a military march as he made the travel. Eventually, however, he grew a little suspicious. "This beepy ain't pointin' where I think it's pointin', is it?" he asked.
The boy blinked, uncomprehending. "You tell me. I've never been here before," he retorted.
"Well, I think you're tryin' to lead me to-" The Tankmon fell silent as he nearly rolled right over a cliff. The Digivice's beeping began to reach a fever pitch as the two looked down, realizing they were sitting at the top of a gigantic chasm. Tankmon seemed to pale slightly and reversed, getting as much space from the chasm's end as possible.
"Knew it. We're at the Crater."

As much of a fighter and leader Tomomi was at the moment, he couldn't help himself marvel at just how cute Jin looks! Tomomi has a collection of plush toys back home, and Liollmon looked just like one of them. He runs over to Jin and picks him up, "You did it!!! And you became such a cutee widdle-digimon! Yes youuu didd!" Tomomi says in a cute voice. Can you blame him? Such a difference from the threatening looking older guy with a baseball bat!
Once the bullets started to fire, he didn't hesitate to run over to Elliot. Sure, BB pellets didn't kill anyone, but he'd rather not see a little kid get hurt. "Elliot, did you see what Jin did? You have that power too, you can save your brother with it!" Tomomi spoke to the boy very slowly, so he can understand him. He saw that Paige was speaking English to the boy, so he thought speaking slowly and clearly would help his case.
Tomomi wasn't worried about Paige, she seemed competent enough to fight with her twins. But when he saw the grenade, he got very nervous. "Kami, take that out!" He said as the grenade approached.
With a quick flick of his wrists, Flarerizamon shot fireballs from his claws at the grenade. "Blaze Buster!!" Hopefully this attack will detonate the grenade mid-air.

What the older boy had done...it was just like what she'd seen before, when that other boy had turned into an Agunimon. Paige wasn't sure what to make of it; not that she even had much time to think of it, not with a fight going on right in front of her. It was terrifying, to say the least, as she watched her Digimon charge the bigger one, only for their attacks to do nothing. And even worse? He was now retaliating.
Her fear for her life melted when the bullets hit her; instead of that, it was replaced with intense agony. Granted, they weren't really bullets, but they were still hurting, and her cry of pain was enough to make that obvious. "Heya! You go protect Paige. I'm gonna go ahead and help them!" Cupimon cried out; normally, Nyaromon would have complained about being given orders, but no in this scenario. She leaped in front of Paige and began rapidly sweeping her tail back and forth in front of her, knocking the bullets out of the way.
Cupimon, meanwhile, decided more offensive pressure needed to eb put on the two dinosaur-like Digimon! Hence the rings made out of light she was flinging towards them, one for each Commandramon; given that she wasn't even a Rookie, though, they probably wouldn't do more than annoy the pair. Even so, every little bit helped in a battle.
"Really N-Nyaromon...I'll be fine. It hurts, but..." Paige spoke up to her Digimon as she eyed the battle, taking a deep breath. Maybe she was just being stupidly brave for no reason...those bullets really had hurt quite a bit.

(OOC note: at this point, for the sake of speeding the thread along, please try to post within 3 days. If you don't, and don't tell me first, I'll have to skip you just so we don't keep everyone else waiting.) The grenade detonated harmlessly in front of the group, any shrapnel from the explosion reduced to ash by Kami's searing flame. There was a rush of air and heat, but thankfully nobody was harmed by the blast. The group wasn't so lucky with the machine gun fire, unfortunately. Until Nyaromon snapped into action, Paige was being blasted by incoming bullets. In addition, the dinosaurs seemed fairly resistant to the group's attacks. The Cupimon's disks of light caused Smith to stumble slightly, but Wesson's held-firm stance let him brace himself against the blows. Each dinosaur had light singing on their bodies, but it wasn't enough to stop their onslaught. Wesson tried to direct fire towards Cupimon, but Nyaromon's tail was doing the trick for keeping them at bay Paige and Cupimon were safe for now, but how long could Nyaromon hold out for?
Elliot could only watch as he remained on the sidelines, a sinking feeling in his stomach growing stronger with each pellet. This was all his fault, wasn't it? They wouldn't be out here picking fights with gun-toting dinosaurs if he didn't make a fuss about Isaac being missing. Now these people were fighting for him, getting hurt for him, and all he could do was stand there. He pressed buttons desperately on his Digivice, but it refused to do anything but rhythmically beep. Useless. Instead he began looking around for something, anything he could use. A few rocks stood out in the debris, and the gears in Elliot's head began turning.
The gun-toting Commandramon blinked as a rock gently bounced off of his cheek. It ceased firing and turned towards Elliot, who was doing his hardest to try and stand tall. "L-leave her alone, you big bully!" the boy said, trembling as he realized the terrible mistake that he had made.
The two dinosaurs turned to each other and burst into laughter. "Now that's just cute!" Smith said, snorting between words. "The pipsqueak's got a death wish!"
"And you said I wasn't good with kids," Wesson replied, drawing a big, jagged knife from a brace on his ankle. "Cover the lizard while I babysit?"
"Aw, you always leave me with the 'ard parts!" Despite his protests, Smith hunkered down to one knee and produced a rifle of his own, firing his Lead Storm with a particular focus on Flarizamon. As he did so Wesson advanced toward Elliot, twirling his knife between menacing chuckles. Elliot swallowed nervously and took a few shaky steps back, almost slipping at times as he tried to ease his quivering cane hand.
At least his friends weren't being shot at anymore, right?
~~~~
Kraktoof and Isaac lingered at the lip of the crater for what felt like an eternity. Considering they were a crazed tank monster and his kidnapped child labor force, the silence was beyond awkward. Eventually the boy turned to Kraktoof, asking "What? You scared of a little hole or something?" The Tankmon once more raised its gun hand, as if to backhand Isaac for speaking out of line, but lowered it after a second of consideration. The filthy look he gave was enough to shut Isaac up for now, though.
"Listen 'ere, 'umie," the Tankmon hissed. "If you saw 'ow this crater got 'ere, you'd be shuttin' your trap too."

Tomomi started to get worried at the prospect of Elliot being directly targeted by Commandramon. At the same token, Paige not getting hit by BB Pellets made him feel better. Tomomi was thinking up a plan when he noticed two very unnerving things. The first is that a real gun came out.
Fortunately, Flarerizamon's head is protected by metal, so the shot was easily deflected. "Ugh...I'm going to feel that one in the morning!" Flarerizamon retorted to the seemingly weak attack. The real concern was the digimon holding a knife. A digimon holding a knife targeting a young boy. That's where Tomomi got a little...agitated?
Clenching his hands into fists, Tomomi speaks out, "How dare you threaten a child! Kami, use your dramon slashers and turn them into data!" Tomomi clearly had no leniency to anyone taking a knife out to a child.
Flarerizamon leapt forward into a spin, when he landed he swung his claws forward, "Dramon Claw!" The strike was quick, and seemed to be a direct slash at Smith's mid-section. Tomomi looked at Wesson, "You should check on your friend. From what I hear, Dramon claw attacks can disperse you into data in one swipe." Tomomi was sure that a dramon claw would deal significant damage at the very least. That should distract the Commandramon from Elliot.

Terrifying. That was the only word that described exactly how Paige felt at that moment; this was what fighting was like. She had known she would have to fight due to what Kai had told her. That that was how Digimon got stronger. Plus...her own Digimon had also told her just how much Digimon liked to fight, too. That did not make this any less scary for the young girl.
Nyaromon's cry of pain forced her out of how she was feeling, and instead made her look to her Digimon. It seemed that the cat-like Digimon had grown tired, repelling all of those bullets, and had finally gotten tired enough that some got through. Not just some, though, but more and more. Smith turned his attention elsewhere soon enough, but the damage was done.
The first thing Paige did was rush to Nyaromon, thankful the two other Digimon were distracted right then; Cupimon wasn't even attacking now, seeing fit to follow Paige's lead. "At...at least they weren't..real bullets." Paige commented, letting out a relieved sigh once she checked up on her Digimon.
"Pfft..p-please. They sting a bit, but I can still fight! Especially when they all still might need us." Paige paused at that, frowning just a bit before sighing. She wasn't the type to just meekly back down from something, or to abandon people.
"Just a flesh wound, right?" Cupimon spoke up, prompting Paige to suppress a groan. Why had she ever decided to introduce her more teasing partner to those videos was beyond her. "But you're right. Let's go kick their butts!" without any more preamble, both her Digimon turned their attention back to the fight, though they didn't join in just yet upon noticing the situation.
"On second thought...maybe we oughta wait to see if they surrender?" Nyaromon suggested. Paige supposed she had a point..it'd be stupid to attack if there was a chance to talk them down now.

Elliot could feel a slight swish of air as Wesson's claw shot out, grasping for the collar of his shirt. He cringed and closed his eyes, but as he slowly pried them open realized that he was remarkably un-grabbed. In fact, Wesson wasn't even facing him anymore, the Commandramon's attention completely shifted toward Kami. The Flarizamon was now standing tall over his brother-in-arms, who could barely make a sound besides a dry wheeze from the incredibly painful attack. The dinosaur's tactical jacket had completely been rended, red-hot metal outlining the gashes as steam rose from the wound. If not for the armor, a direct hit like that would've knocked out the Rookie for sure. He clutched his gut, taking a knee as he tried and failed to stand.
"Bleedin' 'ell, this 'urts," Smith choked out. "Think you were right on this'un. I ain't dyin' just to shake down a bunch of little brats for pocket change." Wesson ran over to Smith's side, extending a hand to try and help his comrade up. As he got Smith back onto his shaky feet, he turned to Kami. "Don't think you and your 'umies won this one yet. Kraktoof's tougher and rougher than both of us combined," the Commandramon said. He then began to walk off, supporting Smith against him. They took one look at the treadmarks left in the Tankmon's wake from earlier, and proceeded to walk as far in the opposite direction as possible.
Immediately Elliot walked over to Paige, giving the girl and her cat a worried look. "Are you okay?" he asked her in English, voice still trembling somewhat from nerves. "I didn't mean for you to get hurt helping me. I'm so sorry." He then turned to Tomomi and Kami, going over the words in his head as he switched back to Japanese.
"Thank you all so much. You did not have to do that, but it means a lot that you helped," he said, a shaky smile spreading on his face. He pointed to the treadmarks going off in the distance, pale patches sticking out quite obviously through the charred grass. "I think Isaac is over there. I will go find him now. You do not have to come with me. I do not want any of you to get hurt."
He turned to the treadmarks, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't bring himself to start walking. He just stared intently at them, taking in a deep breath as he tried to steel himself. All he could do was think about how badly this would likely end for him.
~~~~
Kraktoof continued to linger at the edge of the crater. "I've been livin' off this thing's trash for a whole now," the Tankmon said to Isaac. "Big showdown 'appened 'ere. Loads of shinies for lootin'. But I ain't settin' foot in that crater. Not gonna risk pissin' off the big nasty bastard who made it. Who knows when 'e'll be back to finish the job?"
Isaac couldn't help but look down as well. He wasn't afraid of heights, but the sheer depth of the crater was starting to make his stomach churn. At first glance it was nothing, just a giant black bowl of dirt, rocks, and ash. However, on closer inspection, there seemed to be almost a pattern to the destruction. Some areas looked smoothed out, as if to serve as foundations. Others looked to be divided up into smooth ridges. Was this crater necessarily just some big act of destruction, or was there something far more planned for it?
Whatever the case, as he stared into the abyss his Digivice began beeping more rapidly. Kraktoof turned to him in exasperation, roaring "Are you gonna shut that thing up, or what?" However, Isaac said nothing. He only moved the Digivice across the chasm, listening for the beeps to speed up slightly as he turned it. Whatever they were looking for, it was obviously getting pretty close. "I don't know. I guess it won't stop until you find your 'shiny.' " Kraktoof let out an irritated grumble but refused to move. As Isaac listened to the Tankmon, he could swear he was mumbling something under his breath to try and psych himself up.
If he could get down into that hole, maybe he could finally shake his camouflaged captor.

Tomomi stared at the Commandramon with angry, almost hateful eyes. It crossed his mind for a second to have Flarerizamon go after them and delete them. Attacking a little boy and a girl...disgusting. His morals kicked back in, though, and decided mercy was just as well. So long as Elliot and Paige were unharmed. Tomomi walked over to the girl and bowed almost twenty times, "Paige, I'm very sorry I wasn't able to block those shots, please forgive me!"
His attention was then turned towards the younger boy. He watched as Elliot started to walk away. He looks at Paige with almost desperate eyes. There's no way they could leave him and and his brother to go toe to toe with a champion level digimon. Flarerizamon de-digivolved shortly after and floated up next to Tomomi, "Tomi, we aren't going to let him fight that digimon alone, are we?"
Tomomi shakes his head, "Of course not, let's go." Before he moves forward, he looks at Paige, "Stay behind me this fight. I don't want to see them targeting you again if possible." Tomomi has become quite the protector since he entered the Digital World! He runs up past Elliot and stands before him. "That's not how this works Elliot. We're all here for a reason. I'm here to help you...and your brother. Now...let's go get him back, okay?" Tomomi says with a smile and his arms crossed.

"...Phew," Paige commented, letting out a relieved sigh as the two Digimon retreated. Despite what they had done...a part of her was glad they had chosen to run away rather than continue to fight. She knew she'd probably have to face it eventually, but the longer she could put off admitting that aspect of Digimon nature, the fact that they could absorb a defeated enemy, the better. It was just...a disturbing fact that she couldn't accept yet.
Pushing those thoughts away, she focused on the two boys as her Digimon came trailing back to her side, also very glad it was over. Though, Cupimon did seem somewhat disappointed they didn't get to finish it.
"It's alright...you weren't even close enough to stop them, anyway. And I'm fine, now," a little bruised...but fine. Paige was sure she'd live through it. "Anyway! He's right. We're not just gonna go leaving you to deal with this on your own," she was speaking to Elliot now, a fierce look of determination on her face. "He has your brother...and you don't even have a Digimon to help you. If you go after him alone you're just gonna get captured like your brother did. So we're helping, and that's that."
"Hey hey. Paige is being forceful again. I wonder if she'll ever grow outta that." Cupimon teased with a small little laugh, causing the Nyaromon to merely sigh and shake her head. Cupimon teased their tamer far too often for her liking, but it caused no harm.
"Besides. I didn't get hurt that badly this time, and I couldn't bear it to just walk away now. I'd probably just follow you anyway if you still didn't want me to come. So! Lead the way!" the young girl added, ignoring the teasing of her Digimon.

A weak smile spread across Elliot's face as his new friends began lending him their support. He had to admit, he was still really worried about them. They were kids just like him, weren't they? Even with the amazing creatures following them around, they could still end up in great peril. Even Flarizamon didn't seem as big as that tank monster, and Elliot was horrified as to what could happen if it decided to get aggressive instead of continuing to run away. Still, they weren't giving up. They didn't even know Isaac, and they refused to give up on him. Elliot knew he couldn't give up on them, either.
He stood more firmly now, finding his resolve at long last. "I can not thank you all enough for this," he said, a certain strength and firmness to his voice even as anxiety sent it shaking. "I might never find my brother without the help of people like you. I am only sorry I can not do more to help you in return." Elliot turned to the group in an attempt at reassurance, the smile on his face every bit as bright as it was weary.
"Now, let us save my brother!"
It was impossible to call Elliot's walk confident. It was slow and ponderous, as if he was leaving open the chance of turning back at any time. He kept peeking over his shoulder, as if afraid another monster would burst out of nowhere and separate him from his friends. Still, despite his wariness, he never turned back. He tried his best to hide these nerves from his new friends, attempting to stand firm even as his steps grew increasingly shaky. The tank tracks were darkening, more recent in nature than the faded ones that Elliot had passed before. They were getting close, and the prospect of finally facing the Tankmon was genuinely worrying him.
There was no more time for regrets. With one more bend in the path, the distant figures of Kraktoof and Isaac became visible. Smith and Wesson stuck to their word, it seemed, because the two were nowhere to be found. The Tankmon was irritably driving back and forth, while Isaac was keeping all too still. The two parties seemed to be at a perfect standoff, and Tomomi, Paige, and Elliot were in perfect distance for being the difference makers.
The major question was, how would they go about this?
