Ban stared at Yuuki's expression, his face becoming passive, before he relaxed his forelegs, lying down, "I... Apologize, I did not come here to argue with anyone. And I will admit you likely know more than me on the subject of digivices, and I can tell you are more than experiences on the subject. I have only really read the research performed on them by digimon, who have never worked with them." he explained, "I am sorry." he apologized, making direct eye contact with Yuuki.
After a moment, he jumped on the now friendlier conversation on the subject of "what is just and what is not" he spoke up, returning to his sitting position. "I believe that is because the word "Just" itself is fundamentally flawed. It's far too broad an idea to be applied reliably. Each and every person has a sense of what is just and what is evil. The problem lies in the fact that everyone perceives them differently, and whoever is in power applies only their own description of justice, to punish their description of evil." he said, trying to emphasize this was his opinion, and trying not to make it sound like he thought it was a fact. When the two digimon flared up for combat, he shrugged, "I might as well sit out. Only if you would be no problem, but fighting the two of you, I may just evaporate the city!" he chuckled, jokingly, "I think, for everyone's safety, I should sit on the sidelines." he said, jokingly shrugging his shoulders.

Is it true? Is DATS past its prime? It surprised Dante that they had not heard of Shi on their travels. Maybe Dante and Stingmon's talents would be better suited elsewhere. The idea sat well with Dante, and Stingmon's antennas raised when he heard PROFIT. However, Dante started thinking about forming his own faction. The Defectors had split up, even the Reapers broke up too. If DATS is all but defunct now, maybe it is time they started carving their own path. Helping those in need, but for a cost.
The group talked about their opinions on justice and potentially dangerous Tamers. Ban the Elecmon had an educated perspective on the matter. Not to sell the Rookie short, it just caught Dante off guard how well spoken he is on the matter. To Dante, obeying the law is the right thing to do, but sometimes man's law and morality don't see eye to eye. Sometimes it is good to fight the authority. Then again, those like Stingmon need some discipline. The Worm King is a walking, talking symbol of anarchy, vice and desire.
It looks like Hikaru is ready for an informal fight against Stingmon. "Are you sure about this? You're not even the same stage." "Well if you would let me digivolve to Mega, that wouldn't be a problem. I'll fight anyone at whatever stage as long as it is the same. Fighting as Stingmon is my favorite because I can fly around and blow stuff up with my energy cannon." The issue of Stingmon reaching Mega was, complicated. In his previous life, Wormmon was known as the Goddess of Destruction, and Dante had been warned about letting his partner reach Mega. It could bring back old memories. Then again, could Ali the Worm King be any more of an evil overlord?
The discussion of marriage was brought up. Kilts and bagpipes? Sounds like a fun shindig. It couldn't be any more of a disaster than the last wedding Dante and Stingmon went to. "I don't mean to invite myself, but the two of us would love to attend your wedding." "A big party with cake? Yes please!" Still, the notion of Digimon having families was unusual to Dante. When he first became a Tamer, there was all sorts of new things to learn about. Now that he's gotten familiar with Digital Monsters, maybe it surprises him to see something new. They definitely looked like a cohesive unit, and the little Logan is funny and smart beyond his age. Err, not that Dante actually knew how old he is. Just based on his relationship with his parents. Come to think of it, when Wormmon first hatched out in his fresh form, he was already a smart mouth, eating all the food in sight. There Dante goes again, overthinking.

Both Owen and Logan looked on with concern when Yuuki's tone grew a little cold toward Ban. But, neither of them knew enough of the argument to properly intervene, so, they remained silent with worried expressions. Owen then felt Logan grip his fur a little with nervousness. Owen rubbed his cheek against him as a sign of protection.
"Well... um..." Owen said unsurely. "This, uh, is an interesting conversation, but, can we maybe move onto something less emotional perhaps?" he asked, weakly. As interested as he was in Yuuki's whole story - since Yuuki's story was Hikaru's story and therefore something that he cared about, still though, he could tell that Logan was a bit nervous about the whole thing.
Then Ban backed down, which was most appreciated. "Ah that's okay, it was just words that were said. Words are wind after all" Owen offered, trying to sound clever in front of Logan and Hikaru. Ban's next words were way over the head of Logan, although they stirred some familiarity in Owen. After all, in a past life, Owen felt like he felt... rather strongly about things such as good and evil. So much that he had once joined an army because of it. But, he had died, and his data had been reconfigured faultily. He remembered little of those times, but, in the time he was now alive, he had seen little complication. Some digimon were bullies and should be punished, as he had done with his sister Cion with Shadramon. And most were good. Yet the digital world was so big, Owen simply wanted to protect those he cared about, knowing that if he fought for the greater good, then it could make Logan, Hikaru and Cion targets. Something he couldn't abide by.
Thankfully Hikaru then changed the subject. Owen grinned, thinking he'd probably wear what he was wearing on the day. Either his outfit as his Perfect form, or just, whatever as a Gaomon. Logan meanwhile seemed absolutely thrilled.
"Okay! I will" he said. "Uh, even if I don't think I've tried a bagpipe before, I think I can handle it. Although hopefully I don't sound like a thousand geese suffering..."
"I think it's established that it's swans, son" Owen said, chuckling. Then Dante and Stingmon mentioned they might like to attend the wedding too. "Heh, of course, you seem like nice guys" Owen said. Honestly he'd invite anyone that had he had positive experiences with.
Then it seemed it was settled, the spar would take place. "Steady on, darling..." Owen said, hesitantly. While he trusted Hikaru to be okay with it, well, a battle between Mega levels sometimes changed coastlines, so, he hoped it wouldn't go overboard.
"Aw, daddy's got it covered!" Logan declared. Ban said that he participated, it could wipe out a whole city. "Oh gosh! Really?" Logan asked, distracted. "Could you still show us your evolutions later?!" he added, eagerly.
Well then, so it seemed the spar would take place. Owen plopped Logan on his back, then took a seat a fair distance away on a nearby hill, rather excited to see what Hikaru's true capabilities were. Logan meanwhile positively squealed with anticipation.

"....Very well, let's put this as some sort of wrong foot start," Yuuki summarized. "...But I really don't want to hear any talk about human being worse than digimon."
"We got it, OK. Geez... Logy, Daddy will tell you what's up later when you're old enough... let's see... when you hit adult perhaps? Darling... well, I guess I forgot if I've told you about that lawyer or not, but let's say that's less important than anything today. Heh, talk about marriage make it sounds like we gotta plan it throughoutly to wow our two new guests then! Alright, I'll get some wedding planner soon!"
"...Mercy on my wallet, please," Yuuki muttered. "Or you better get jobs so we can do it."
"Hmmm, fair. It'll be a nice education for Logy! If you want something, work for it! But first... let's get out of here first."
Hikaru picked a rather huge ground with nothing much on it. He made a show of summoning a stick out of thin air from his magical glyph and start writing on the ground. At first he start slowly, but then he just simply flew while rapidly writing on the ground, covering area about ten thousand meters square with magical writing. Before long, barrier is erected.
"There you go, now nobody gonna complain if I go all out!"
"...I'm worried," Yuuki muttered.
Hikaru stepped in the ring. His golden aura flared even more fiercely than just now before settling into much more peaceful one.
"Ready when you are... or actually, go on and attack first if you want!"

Ban, smiled, briefly, to Owen, showing his appreciation for Owen's understanding. For a moment, Ban considered telling Yuuki he never said that humans were outright worse, before deciding that would just stir up a new hornet's nest, so he stayed quiet. He was also quiet for most of the conversations following, as he really had no business in events like weddings, or whatever kind of instrument a kilt is. "Tell me," He spoke to Owen, "Where did you get the idea of having a wedding? Perhaps you are adopting the idea from humans?" He asked, curious as to what Owen could know about human customs, as he was actually curious, and since he had some time to kill, he decided to strike up a more casual conversation then the tense arguments he sparked before.

What started as a personal trip to the Hardware Den has gotten a lot more exciting. Dante was not expecting to make some new friends. The sound of a thousand swans suffering, now that they had to hear. But Dante and Wormmon nice guys? Sure, when he's not complaining Dante is a pretty nice person, but Wormmon? Maybe beneath the chaos he has a kind soul after all. It appears like the sparring is on. Hikaru had the foresight to seal off an open area to avoid needless destruction. Stingmon carries Dante and flies over to the ring.
"Why don't you start at Ultimate, and see if you can push to Mega. And remember, this is a friendly sparring session to show off a little and test yourself." "But, what about you being worried about what happens when I reach Mega?" "It's been a long time since you've unlocked a new form. I think you will be capable of controlling yourself, regardless of what anyone has told me." "Okay, Dante. This one's for Logan." Dante stands a few feet outside the ring. He takes out his digivice and it begins to glow. Stingmon soars up into the sky. His shell starts to turn red, and spider legs begin piercing out. He digivolves to the Spider Queen Archnemon.
Archnemon/Willow
Non-Combat Passives:
Wall Climbing, able to jump high.
Combat Passives:
Exoskeleton: Archnemon has a tough outer shell increasing damage resistance, allowing her to stay in battle longer.
Archnemon lands on the ground, letting out a loud shriek. "Even as a Mega, you won't find me so easy to deal with." Dante isn't so sure about that. He had encountered Mega level Digimon before, but there's something about Alphamon that Dante senses. It was clear that Hikaru was in the top tier for Megas. An Ultimate battling against a Mega might fare for a while before being defeated, but this might not be the case. Hopefully Archnemon can last long enough to Digivolve.
Fortunately, Hikaru was letting Willow go first. Archnemon starts spinning silk, constructing a large web over about 40% of the ring.
Spider's Layer: Creates a large spider web. Archnemon gains increased agility while on the web. Opponents who touch the web are stuck in place for 2 posts. Web lasts for 6 posts. 3 post cooldown.
"Wahaha! Don't get too close. Or you'll be stuck in my web, and I might just be tempted to bite you!" Archnemon crawls around on the spider web, gaining a height advantage. (Thinking) "Willow has some great defense at this stage. This might just actually work."

Logan tilted his head. "What's a lawyer?" he asked, but then Hikaru said he'd tell him when he was older. "Ah, okay then" he said, deciding that if his parents didn't want to tell him yet, then he'd just have to wait.
Owen and Logan then followed them to the battlefield. The two were seated outside the "barrier", still able to see what was going on inside. Although wow, that was a big battlefield.
"Ooh, this is exciting" Logan remarked, putting his goggles on and using the built-in zoom function so he could watch his dad. He was sitting on Owen's head as he watched. "The first battle I've seen, and it's between two digimon at this level!"
"Yes, such a thing is rare, especially in an training spar" Owen said, a little darkly. Battles of this scale were usually to the death.
As they watched, Owen considered Ban's question. "Well... to be honest, I thought loads of digimon go through a celebration if they love someone" he admitted. "Although a human said they called those things 'weddings', so, I guess the answer is... 'sort of'?" he scratched the back of his head (with his foot, as he was forced to as Gaogamon) carefully so that Logan was not dislodged.
Thinking about it a bit more, Owen spoke again. "There sure are a lot of human customs going on in this world though I have to say. Although most of them are fairly logical, like digimon using names. Heh, don't mean to blow my own trumpet" he chuckled.

"Oh really?" Hikaru answered tauntingly. "Let's see how good you are against my skills then!"
Yuuki doesn't need to warn Hikaru, The Alphamon know this is just a spar, but he wanted to see how other Digimon fare against his attack. His palm let out faint golden light. Hikaru took flight and charges directly at the Arachnemon. His wings let out streak of golden flame as he accelerate, sword ready in hand. That sword is his favorite sword, the Seiken Gradalpha, a signature weapon of Alphamon.
But before he could clash with the other Digimon, he instead took a sharp soar to the sky. A huge glyph around fifty meter in diameter appeared on the sky behind Hikaru, materializing several orbs that Yuuki describe almost looks like Harry Potter's Snitch, except the wings are green while the orbs are blue. The orbs suddenly exploded and releases rain of beam downward, covering area as big as the glyph. It doesn't have a concise target unlike his more accurate skill, but the fifty meters now definitely centered around the Arachnemon. Whether the web is destroyed or not along with the ground he had no idea.
"...Good, he's holding back properly," Yuuki muttered. If he's serious, then there would be more than five centimeter deep holes on the ground afterall...

Ban regarded the fight, his smile becoming passive, as he internally recalled fighting at this level, as well. He then disregarded this, as he noticed a blatant change in the behavior of Wormmon, he could tell they had immense power inside of that digimon, and wondered if, perhaps, they feared this power, as he overheard Dante and Wormmon debating amongst themselves, before the fight. He turned back to Owen, chuckling, "I suppose I am no exception, either. Funnily enough, I named myself after meeting a human, they're customs seem almost infectious," He joked, "I suppose next we will start seeing a police force or street regulations." He chuckled, staring vaguely away, before snapping himself out of it, and focusing on the fight, "Regardless, it shouldn't matter what level two digimon are, they still need to be cautious. This will be an enlightening experience for all, I believe." He said, momentarily losing track of Hikaru, with his speed, before locating him in the sky. He frowned, but wasn't surprised that he had no way to keep up with the movements of a mega level.

Archnemon's web had proven to be lacking, as Hikaru's attack took out most of it, leaving only remnants. Archnemon takes significant damage from the blasts, slightly reduced by her Exoskeleton. "Aww, I like my web!" Archnemon shoots thread over to the other side and swings across above Hikaru. "Bombs away!" The Spider Queen drops down a Spider Bomb falling towards Hikaru. The bomb detonates when it gets close. Hopefully for Archnemon the bomb will hit its target.
Spider Bomb: Creates a large bomb that detonates when Archnemon desires. Sticks to surfaces such as walls. Can be placed directly down from the abdomen, or Archemon can stand on her hind legs and fire it as a projectile. Deals massive damage. 3 post cooldown.
Dante watches on from the sidelines. It's been a while since his partner had fought in this form, and they had never gone up against anyone this powerful. (Thinking) "Come on, Archnemon. You can't keep trying to run away. Reach down inside..." He looks over at the others. Apparently Ban has his own hidden power within. Dante couldn't help but feel bad for the others. Watching a battle is not as much fun as fighting. After this maybe they can do something together here in the Hardware Den.
It wasn't long until word had spread that there is a fight going on, and Digimon passing through decided to check it out. A small crowd starts to form off to the side. With any luck, after the fight Dante might find someone who knows Tatsumi. His new friends must have their own reasons for coming here. If Archnemon can't Digivolve to Mega, this battle won't last much longer.

"Ahh..." Logan breathed as Hikaru and Arachnemon clashed on the battlefield. "So awesome!" he cheered. Overall it was like watching a display of fireworks. Logan hoped one day he too would fight at this level. Owen meanwhile, while also thinking it was pretty, would rather not have to fight at that level in anything other than spars and tourneys.
"Heh, street regulations just sounds silly" Owen chuckled. A police force though? That sounded a little better to him though. But, he had no idea how one would possibly work. Besides, most digimon found themselves able to defend themselves. But, Ban was just joking. So he didn't think much more on that.
More digimon were gathering to watch the battle. Owen looked to see if he knew anyone familiar, but, it seemed his acquaintances weren't nearby. Ah well. He watched with a bit of shock as Arachnemon lobbed a nasty looking bomb toward Hikaru. Would it hit? And if it did, surely Hikaru's armor could deflect most of the blast?
"You can do it, daddy!" Logan cheered.

Hm, so the attack does hit. He wonder if Willow was unable to dodge because the speed or there is something else? He stayed on his spot, floating with his wings opened wide. However, he didn't thought that this Digimon would instead use its web to launch itself to the sky and---BOMB!?
Yuuki on the ground meanwhile already know where this is going. if there is a weakness of flying type Digimon, unless they're insect type, flying backward is nearly an impossible task. Hikaru is no exception. His wings are in form of jet. This means he's going to have to risk to get blasted by the explosion... or to take it head on. Unfortunately, he has no idea what form of attack it was and turned around. This means his escape by using his wings already sealed. Yuuki won't tell him anything. This is 1 vs 1... Now... will he use that frontal shield... or will he use another form of attack?
The explosion happened, it was quite massive that Yuuki needed to shield his eyes. From the smoke, the Alphamon came out, his front armor slightly singed, but overall it's nothing worrying. Yuuki could sworn that he's smirking under that helmet.
"Quite nice," Hikaru commented. "Allow me to do the same."
From his palm, a glyph of darkness materialized, letting out several lasers that goes to attack the Arachnemon. They're purple in color, denoting their darkness-attributed effect.
It's about to get ready soon...

Ban chuckled, thinking along the same lines as Owen, regardless, he watched the fight, closely, the two weren't using their utmost speed, so he could still keep track of them with his rookie eyes. He was thoroughly analyzing each side of the battle, despite only being a friendly spar, Hikaru wasn't fighting in a very strategic way, only really reacting to his crafty opponent, though, with the power difference, that might just be enough. Arachnemon, on the other hand, was constantly using her terrain, creating more webbing, even after her original base was destroyed. Her latest assault, he doubted would have enough power to pierce armor as durable as an Alphamon, but it may just rattle the inside, a little. Sure enough, the attack had, in fact, hit dead-on target, yet resulted in limited damage, as Hikaru's eyes were still focused and confident, and either it was a spectacular front, or he still had the situation under control. He couldn't help but notice how far apart the power gap of these two was, and wondered exactly what could be useful for Arachnemon at this point. He realized that, once again, he rooted for the underdog, and he realized that just putting someone at a disadvantage makes them more appealing for others, and he wondered which side the gathered digimon where on.

It's been so long since his Digimon partner had faced off in such a battle, Dante had forgotten what it feels like. Even standing on the sidelines, Dante could feel that connection to Willow. The spider bomb had hit Hikaru, but it was clear that Archnemon would need to digivolve if they were going to test the mettle of Alphamon's armor. Hikaru responds with Digitize of Soul, hitting Archnemon with dark energy lasers. "Argh, I can't many more hits like that, Dante! Maybe we should use some of my defense techniques?" "It doesn't matter how good your defenses are if you can't dish out enough damage. It's time to reach the next level, your true form."
Archnemon's expression grows concerned. "But Dante! I don't know how to unlock that power. I don't even remember how I learned to digivolve to this level. Can you check your phone or something? Maybe some massages would loosen me up. And lots of food!" "This isn't the time for that. You need to push through to Mega. I know that you've got something special inside of you. You've always been so defiant and cocky. Remember when you first digivolved to Stingmon? What it was like to fly for the first time? Remember when you were at the end of Dragon Slayer 4000, and the game crashed and corrupted your save? Unleash your wrath!"
Dante continues trying to push Willow. It was his own fault for holding him back this long. Archnemon feels her anger and passion building up inside. Suddenly there's a chilling sensation, as if someone dipped their toe into a freezing cold pond. It wasn't painful, but rather an incredible sensation as Willow feels magic for the first time. Streams of green data begin spinning around Archnemon. The data grows into a sphere, and turns purple. Beams of bright light pierce out through the data. The wind spirals around the sphere, quickly growing in size. Finally the sphere disintegrates into broken fragments of data that fall to the ground.
A new Digimon appears floating in the air where the sphere was. It appears to be a woman with black hair wearing black and purple robes. She lets out a loud scream, her eyes glowing with magic energy. "At last! I have finally been awakened! Lilithmon has returned..." "Willow? What's going on?" "Dante, Da-han-taaaaay... I remember." "What do you remember?" "I remember, everything! The Goddesses, the Dark Triad, everything! I always knew there was something inside of me, but I never knew this much power would feel like this!" "Look, uh, just try to forget about that stuff. You have a different life now. This is just a friendly spar." Lilithmon turns her attention to Hikaru. "Ah, yes. You will be a suitable challenge to test my magic. I need to get the feel of my powers again. Oh, this is going to be so much fun, you guys! Ahh haa haha ha haaa!"
------------------------------------------------ (Didn't attack because I digivolved, don't know if you can do both but it feels better this way.)
Lilithmon/Willow Mega Level
Non-Combat Passives:
Levitate, a variety of magical spells such as changing someone's clothes.
Combat Passives:
Goddess Barrier: While in combat, Lilithmon utilizes her magic to maintain a spherical magic barrier around her. Reduces damage received from incoming attacks. Estimated amount of damage received: Champion and lower: 10%. Ultimate: 50%. Mega and higher: 80% So while an attack from a Mega is only slightly reduced, damage received from attacks from an Ultimate Digimon are cut in half, and attacks from Champions and lower are negated almost completely.
For better or worse, this will go down as the day the Goddess of Destruction returned to the Digital World.

OOC: Since my posts are mainly just reactions, feel free to skip me if I'm being too slow.
Owen gasped in horror, Logan covered his eyes as Hikaru seemed to take that attack on directly. However, he seemed to be relatively unharmed by the damage. Whew, looks like that armor was as strong as it looks. Of course it was, it was digizoid.
As much as Owen liked to see Hikaru's floofy side, well, floof couldn't give much protection against bombs. Armor though, that was good. And it turned out that it gave Hikaru the opportunity to counter-attack.
Owen then glanced at Ban, wondering what he was thinking. He had said earlier that he was a wandering warrior, and wondered if he had seen anything like this before. While Owen was curious of his story, well, maybe it probably wouldn't be something to talk about in earshot of Logan. Maybe something to ask later?
Logan then gasped, as did Owen, when Arachnemon evolved. And there, standing in front of them, was a Mega level.
"A demon lord class?!" Logan asked, seeing the Lilithmon in full. "Whoa... I hope daddy goes okay".
"It'll be fine, Logan. She's Dante's partner, so she won't hurt Hikaru..." Owen hesitated. "...too badly" .
