Lance Through the Canopy [PLOT] [5/5]

K returned the smile rather quickly to Feli; giving them a small bow of thanks from the introduction. As after all most digimon accepted that as a form of greetings now days anyways.

"it's a pleasure Feliciano."

It was a certainly strange name for an individual such as this, but what was she really able to say about it? they were quick to introduce themselves and just sat on their haunches to wait for everyone else. Then there was a quick introduction of the human and his Smamemon partner. She couldn't hear what the human had said immediately but with a small nod she'd accept their introductions.

"Yes. At the very worst scenario, it's okay to have to incapacitate the digimon but do not digitze them."

She was a little more surprised that the human tried to leave without his partner, but with what the Smamemon said it made sense if the human was a tad scared.

Then Luke remarked about the pair of them and she'd dip her head in agreement. She'd gesture at several of the people there.

"Four should focus on the guards at, and the fifth should focus on the tower itself. One or the other will give out and we'll have openings for every hit landed on either. I understand that there are more than just four of us realistically but thinking in a good manner it'd be bad judgement overall for us to have twins fighting separately or certain levels of bystanders that can't do anything too close."

There was a pause and she'd shake her head when Colin suggested luring them away from the tower might work.

"No. They won't leave a certain range of it, both from personal experience and some other exposition I'd rather not get into right now. Trust me when I say this we need to hit them hard, fast and as quickly as possible. All at once so they don't have time to relax. But we need to be coordinated enough to keep them from helping one another."

She shook her head and nodded as the twins shared their capabilities. Ranged and up in their faces; along with a little bit of variety from digivolving further into armor.

"I would like to have the two of you focus on the tower honestly; but You might be better suited to provide good distraction for one of the guards."

Then there was more information that she didn't know, that spirit users could go to a certain tier and she'd run over things in her head. It could work if everyone worked together in some fashion or another. She'd grit her teeth at the sheer lack of ability she possessed to do anything about this tower on her own.

Then the Koemon remarked about them proceeding forward and K bobbed her head in a nod.

"We should be quick to choose actual roles but..."

Then there was an arrival of an individual she wasn't prepared to meet. A human girl with a Salamon X who was somewhat excitable in her opinion arrived. The way that the canine addressed the group the renamon could only raise her brows slightly.

"It's over there but there are some guards along with some issues with digivolution in regards to that."

The renamon scratched her head a bit and wasn't sure what to really say on this particular individual showing up late. But she wasn't going to turn down help at this junction. It'd be a bad idea overall of course.

"Basically the Jist of it yes. Can't digivolve higher than a armor champion and there are at least two guards we know of. We're going to have to fight in pairs while another one deals with the tower itself. Though who fights who or who is teamed up with whom is up to debate still."

She'd cross her arms and stare at the girl; quirking an eyebrow.

"If you could give us a quick run down of your abilities too that would be perfect."

Well, this was something of a disaster, now everyone was stating what it was they brought to the table, and Smamemon was placing his glove over his comparatively tiny chin, before he seemed to come up with an answer, "I punch things, I punch them pretty hard. They're champion level, right? They'd be much more fun to punch than some stupid tower." It stated, quite matter-of-factually, "I'll punch em till they can't fight.", he claimed, staring at the tower itself with the same, blank expression. Nelson crawled forward, patting his reckless partner on the head, "I guess he's taking some of those guardians." He laughed, nervously, before he jumped, at the newcomers who barged they're way in.

Why was there so many people in this clearing!? And why was Smamemon so interested in staying!? Well, not much he could do to change his partner's mind, it was far too late for that now, and Nelson knew firsthand just how crazy his partner could get when he was all fired up, like this. Well, these people and digimon seemed to know what they were doing, so he could just let Smamemon spend all this extra energy in a fight, and leave the more difficult stuff to these... "Professionals"...? Guess he was tagging along, regardless.

The fox LADY seemed to be the most intelligent one here, as she had already formed what sounded like a decent strategy, she talked a lot like a responsible adult, so he felt little reason to doubt her, and she says she has experience with... whatever these black pillars were. That was good enough for him, but he understood that Smamemon could care less about any plan she makes, he would just have to make him coordinate with the others, otherwise these nice people's plan might go down the drain and it'd be his fault, really. He grabbed Smamemon by the oddly bulky shoulders, and stared deep into his empty eyes, "I need you to fight with these guys, you could be in danger if you go fight on your own." Nelson said, seriously, and Smamemon tilted his body, as it was also his head, at the same time, "Is that... an order?" "Sure, whatever, if you want." "Gotcha. I'll punch them with these guys. But just so everyone knows... I'm gonna be punching them the most."

"I-I'm sorry if it's at such short notice! Uh... Haru's my name. My partner here is Tawna. She's uh, a little angry she's not in her regular form right now." Haru ended up introducing herself to all the Digimon here, along with her fellow humans (she did not realize the Patamon here was actually a Spirit Wielder and not some regular Digimon).

"Angry is an understatement." The Salamonx X rudely added in, though grew silent as Tentomon and Koemon explained the situation to them alongside that of the Renamon's.

Nonetheless, they at least seemed to have a plan! Haru nodded in conjunction with some of the ideas being thrown around. Handling the guards and freeing them of their shackles was important, especially since it would help them be able to multitask easier. She wasn't exactly sure how they'd help (mainly due to she being fairly oblivious as to what Tawna's Rookie form was like in battle, or what form the Digi-Egg they obtained would offer), but she for the most part was confident they'd be able to lend aid to this cause. "Well, uh... My partner's good at..."

"Does it matter what I am good at? I'll tell you what I am good at... I'm good at destroying things. Rings, towers... What ever is the case, I'll demolish it. It's the one thing I can do well." Tawna interrupted her partner. She wasn't the type to dwell on things for long, preferring to get into the action quickly. "If Armor Champion level is all we have, then so be it. We'll do our best to work with you all in detaining these... guards. Haru, suit me up."

Haru did seem to flinch slightly, she whipping out an orange-grip D-3. "W-Well okay then! Let's do this then!" she exclaimed as a gold-black oval object is materialized from the device, it turning into data and surrounding Tawna.

The resulting creature that formed from the combination of the mammalian Digimon and Digi-Egg was a large, metallic black-gold Digimon in the crude shape of some kind of beast. It's metallic body was much like knight armor, but the back-end of it notably blade-like. It landed back on the ground with a notably large clang, growling somewhat angrily towards their destination. "We will DESTROY that damned tower." the newly-evolved Axemon growled, ready to move with everyone else.

SMamemon stood, banging his studded gloves together, "Black rings? Sure, I'll punch those, as well." It agreed, adding that target to it's list of things to punch today. No problem, these hands weren't going to stop flying, anyways, so the more targets, the better. It seemed the masked guy would be helping him, but he saw no reason to complain, so long as he doesn't get in the way, things'll be fine. "Let's hit the thing a lot." He offered, staring up at the young swordsman, while rotating his shoulders, pumping himself up.

Nelson frowned, this all sounded dangerous, there was so many things hired to do this this, could that spike really be that problematic? Jeez, this was all a big mess, but afterwards, at least he could learn more from the digimon and people around him, cause he felt a bit more curious in this world than the other, there was so much new here, he just had to figure out how this place... well... worked, this spike was obviously out of place, even in a crazy world like this, so it must be a special kind of dark, they mentioned something about rings, and targeting them, maybe it was the evil digimon's source of power? Well, that in itself was interesting, almost like a kid's show, it was virtually unbelievable, yet here they were, about to fight a giant spike.

At least Smamemon seemed excited, and Nelson of all people knew how much Smamemon liked punching things that punched back, it's why Smamemon doesn't attack Nelson at all. It would be good to tire out Smamemon like this, and if things get too dicey, then the other professionals can surely handle it.

"Prio on what can and will kill us if we are not careful. Nothing will be able to stop us from demolishing it once we dispatch the rings." the weapon Digimon spoke to the Elecmon. She wasn't one for social conversation, but she was no fool when it came to battle. Against two stronger foes, they absolutely needed to be cautious with how they approached their foes. "If assistance is required, I will come to your aid. The more we can force them to multi-task, the easier our jobs will be."

"Just please be careful... alright? To all of you." the gogglehead spoke with a tone of concern in her voice. As a human, her role right now was somewhat limited to merely cheerleading... after all, humans kinda were on the squishy side. Still, even the Digimon had to watchout for things, as things could get hairy if they were not careful.

Soon enough, everyone managed to arrive closer to their intended target... and well, seeing the giant insectoid Digimon to Haru about their odds here. At least seeing that they having two additional Armor Champion levels in the form of the Elecmon and Impmon both Armor Digivolving offered some solace to her worries. Maybe things actually could work out...? "C'mon... let's leave our friends to this." Haru spoke to Colin, motioning him out of the way. Quicker the humans evacuated, the better.

Tawna seemed to emit a low growl, the Axemon bowing her head down to offer Tentomon a ride. Quicker they can get to the tower, the quicker they can start inflicting damage to it. Needless to say, she was ready to move as soon as possible.

Colin supposed he'd best share the last of his capabilities with the others. "Ah, right, should mention that I can use cards..." he said, holding up his D-Arc. "Although... I think the higher level cards might not be useful in this battle".

Indeed, the jamming power of the dark towers seemed to be intense, and he didn't want to waste energy on that. So Luke and Bellamy's capabilities could probably be enhanced, but only to a limited extent.

As they arrived at the destination, and after Colin armor digivolved his partners, he accepted Haru's advice and hung back, but still, not too far away so he lost sight of the battle. Colin knelt down behind a nearby wooden log, cards and D-Arc at the ready for his partners to use.

Tentomon meanwhile accepted Tawna's invitation for a ride. He estimated that she could fly faster than him, and would be most likely to get them through the front line in the opening attack. Koemon then acknowledged Feliciano.

"In that case, perhaps you could provide covering fire from a distance alongside myself?" he suggested.

The digimon were ready to attack. Colin could feel the tension in the air. They crept toward the treeline, trying to be absolutely still. Bellamy was rearing to go, but his attack was too flashy to be used as a first strike. And thus he nodded to his now bigger brother to make the first move. And thus, Luke did so.

Luke raised his paw, momentarily drawing what appeared to be a large spear of water above him - quickly building up in size and mass from the humid air. Then he launched his first attack - Rain Lance - straight at the Kabuterimon, aiming at the ring around its neck.

He had done this to disrupt and short-circuit the expected response - Electro Shocker. The Kabuterimon roared in shock and flew toward him. The RedLekismon leapt from the bushes, using his agility in an attempt to avoid the counter-attack. Kabuterimon attempted to launch such a strike, but as his neck and face were soaked, the electricity simply shorted out for the time being.

While this was happening, Bellamy then made his move. "Homing Fire!" he whispered, then at once, three fireballs were conjured around his waist, they spun before shooting outward, then homed in toward the Kuwagamon, who screeched with pain and fury as the three fireballs zoned in on the dark ring, exploding with heat and force as they struck.

Now it seemed, the battle was on. It was up to everyone to get through now. Their stealthy approach had furthermore allowed them to launch a pre-emptive attack against the two opponents. However, this was only the beginning, and they would not be able to gain such bonuses in future.
