Wine Tasting (Katsura, Scarlet)

When negotiations had failed, Piedmon resorted to a more aggressive approach. However, this move seemed to backfire for the Prince of Chaos. K's arm blades activate again, and she makes it clear that she does not approve of Piedmon's behavior. Piedmon doesn't back down, still holding the blade just underneath Dante's chin. Kiyoko struggles and tries to get away, but Piedmon won't let her go.
"Unhand me, foul demon! I will not succumb to your threats." "You're in no position to negotiate, you self-righteous priestess."
Katsura pleads with Piedmon to stop. At first, the Prince tries to resist, but he doesn't want to disappoint her. The one person who saw something good inside him. Finally Piedmon decides to back down. He slowly lowers his sword, then pushes Kiyoko into Dante with great force, knocking them both down.
"Fine, fine. Although destroying Dante or Kiyoko is almost worth more to me than the wine. Today is not your day to perish, at least by my hand, wu hu ha ha!"
Dante tries to get up, but Kiyoko is laying across his waist. "Get your hands off my Tamer, apostate!" Kiyoko slowly gets up, and dusts herself off.
"Pitiful. Turning to violence when all else fails. You should be ashamed, jester, but you have proven yourself incapable of showing remorse for your actions." "Your tongue is as sharp as my blades. Let's put that to the test." "Do it! Cut her tongue off! Spare us from her bad attitude."
Dante gets up and stretches his arms back. Piedmon's little stunt has caused him some back pain.
"I think that's enough arguing and threatening for now. We need to decide who is helping Piedmon search for the nectar. Wormmon seems dedicated to finding the wine, and as much as I can't stomach being around this, "actor", I am willing to help search, as long as I get a share of the nectar for myself."
Wormmon slowly crawls up Katsura's leg, resting on her head. "Ya! Let's find that bottle. With Katsura around, maybe Piedmon won't be such a butthead!" Wormmon massages Kastura's head with his little bug legs. Dante smiles as Wormmon seems to have made a new friend. Perhaps Katsura and Nyao weren't so bad, even with their affiliation with Piedmon.
"I apologize for losing my cool. It's just that, I spent years searching for the nectar, and I simply must have it in my collection. I assure you, if we find the bottle, there will be more than enough for all of us to get absolutely trashed. As well as all the gold I can steal from the greedy politicians in Nubar."
Dante turns his attention to K. It didn't seem likely that the Shutmon would be willing to help Piedmon. Especially after he turned hostile.
"What do you say, K? At least we can keep Piedmon in check. He won't cross us again if he wants the nectar." "I am disappointed in you, Dante. Making a deal with a demonic creature over wine. If this is what you want to do, I will continue exploring Old Terminus on my own. Maybe I will find the wine before you, and keep it out of Piedmon's greedy hands."
Kiyoko sarcastically waves goodbye, then turns and starts walking off. Wormmon can't resist getting in one last dig. "Cya later, big butt! Good riddance." Kiyoko pauses for a moment, then continues walking. Dante is sad to see his friend leave. He feels as though he has betrayed Kiyoko, choosing Wormmon and wine over his ally.
"Great. Everything seems to be in order. Let us begin our search. Oh, I can recall the taste of Heaven's Nectar, the alluring smell... just one drop is like a tender kiss." "Yes, I remember it, too. Dante, I command you to find the bottle at once!" "We haven't even started looking ye-" "Ah ba ba, no excuses! Onward!"
Wormmon hops up on down on Katsura's head, like riding on a horse. "Just get down from there and start helping us look."

The idle bits of conversation were all well and good enough; learning that Nyao spent most of their time as a Gatomon was interesting enough but didn't warrant much of a response past a shrug. Rookie form was honestly comfortable to most; they usually stayed in it until they got much older or much more powerful. And even then it was a hit or miss if they'd be sitting in that or something else.
Katsura had a somewhat tempered response when it came to piedmon's actions. Even going as far as to tell him to calm down, don't hurt Kiyoko and even saying they'd get him the wine. All this could do was really bring a small frown to her face; as giving the piedmon what he wanted after actions like that would only serve to make the digimon do something like this in the future.
Regardless she kept her forearm blades in their attack mode; her somewhat cold stare keeping more or less firmly on the Piedmon. It was unfortunate she wasn't a little bit closer, she could of knocked the blade away and maybe make a jab at the digimon..
When the piedmon roughly let Kiyoko go; the shutmon found herself narrowing her eyes. She didn't trust this jester one bit; she harbored doubts that he'd give them much of anything for getting this wine bottle if it even existed in the first place.
She found her frown deepening however when dante seemed to agree with the idea of searching for the nectar after that little bout. She couldn't help but shake her head; that honestly wouldn't help this entire session of interactions would it? Finding this thing for someone who just threatened another over a bottle of blood wine.
She remained silent up until she was directly addressed by Dante which only served to make her sigh softly.
"To finding the nectar? I'm more curious as how a bottle of that Blood wine was able to survive this long. I would rather not reward acting as he has with something like this, but I do not feel comfortable letting you all go with him."
A pair of icy blue eyes locked onto the Piedmon. She'd growl dangerously and point at him with one of her forearm blades.
"And I don't think you'll find anything that you could threaten to stop me from sinking my blade to the hilt in your filthy data if you do something stupid like earlier. Are we clear?"

Katsura let out a sigh of relief over Piedmon backing down from killing Kiyoko. Once again Katsura has impressed Nyao with her symbolic power of words. Nyao sent both of them an approving smile, see Piedmon it is possible to gain positive feedback from Nyao. From Nyao's wicked sense of humor, she had to put a hand on her mouth to hide the fact that she thought the thing about cutting Kiyoko's tongue was actually pretty funny. Nyao trusting Katsura's prowess, she placed her index finger on one of K's blade gently pushing it downwards. In practice this only tipped it some five degrees. It was more the symbolic message about how her weapons wasn't needed. For the same reason, Katsura showed a smile over Wormon traveling up her legs to massage her head. "Katsura, you have made another friend."
Nyao said happily joking about the blooming relationship with Wormon. For the same reason and since Nyao by virtue would always pick whatever option Katsura choose. So to answer Dantes questions about alignment, Nyao nonchalantly walked up to Katsura, Piedmon and Wormon non-verbally making her stance. "Thanks everyone." "No problem, K are you coming?" Meanwhile Katsura didn't seem to mind her new "hat" one bit. In fact it looked like Wormon had got himself a new ride. "So Piedmon, where did you say the wine was hidden?"
Katsura and Nyao were ready to go with Piedmon on adventure.

With Kiyoko out of the mix, the gang seemed to be getting along better, Other than K, who was adamantly against the thirsty jester. Dante gives K a concerned look, letting her know that they could keep Piedmon in check, but worried that the Shutmon would not help Piedmon. The Prince of Chaos crosses his arms and turns his nose up at K.
"Hmph. Well then. I offer you all adventure and riches, and that's how I'm treated. Curse the blackness of your core!"
Piedmon reaches into his coat and takes out a white handkerchief. Dante has a flashback to the end of the Data Core Tournament, when Piedmon appeared and turned almost everyone there into inanimate dolls with a white cloth. Thinking that Piedmon was going to attack their friend K, Dante lunges towards Piedmon, catching him off guard and tackling him to the ground. The Prince of Chaos is surprised by this sudden attack.
"What in heaven's name do you think you are doing, Dante?!" "I'm not going to let you turn K into a doll!"
Dante may have caught the jester off guard, but he is certainly no match for a Mega. Piedmon easily gets the upper hand, outmaneuvering Dante and trapping his hands together with a powerful red and green finger trap. Dante sits on the ground, frantically trying to free himself.
"I always knew you were a scoundrel, young Palladino, but jumping me is crossing the line. You could have torn a hole in this fabulous coat!" "Release Dante at once, or I'll make an eternity in the abyss feel like a vacation! Nobody messes with my Human, except his sister." "But, the handkerchief... I thought you were going to throw it at K." "Eh? Oh, I understand now. We just had ourselves an unfortunate misunderstanding. I was simply going to wipe my face. I can't wait to tell Piddomon about this." "Okay then, get this finger trap off." "Nay, I think I'll leave it on for now." "But, how will I smoke?"
Piedmon dusts himself off. He takes out a compact mirror to check if his hair looks okay.
"Now then, back to the task at hand. Old Terminus is a very strange domain, filled with hidden rooms with a beautiful teal and white color scheme."
Piedmon floats over to the wall, and taps it with his finger. The wall ripples like when you drop a pebble into a pond, and the wall disappears to reveal a staircase made of data leading down.
"It's going to get dangerous from here on out. One misstep, and you could be falling for miles. So please, be careful." "Piedmon showing concern for others? I had no idea the Prince of Chaos was so sensitive. Maybe we can throw a tea party and talk about our feelings." "Don't be absurd. Tea time is at 3 on Wednesdays. Now hurry along, chop-chop!"
Piedmon is the first to head down the staircase. Wormmon is content to ride on Katsura's head. While Piedmon may have been an agitator, Dante and Wormmon both found themselves warming up to the duo of Katsura and Nyao. They were the only ones actually getting along with Piedmon. Dante had to laugh a little seeing Wormmon riding on Katsura's head. He smiles and nods at Katsura.
"You seem to be able to bring the best out of people, and especially Digimon. A great skill to have." "Yep! Katsura's my buddy now. She's not mean like Judith, or crazy like your girlfriends." "Girlfriends? What are you talking about?" "You know, Sal, Misty, Raziya, Kiyoko. Hey, you should ditch those skanks and ask Kat out!"
Dante looks over at Nyao, then back at Katsura and Wormmon.
"I don't think that's such a good idea, little buddy. She looks too young. And don't call women skanks." "Well then what should I call them? Kat's probably the only normal girl."
Piedmon yells over to the rest of the group.
"Hey! Are you coming or not?! Let's not waste time, I would like to find the wine and return home at some point." "Why? So you can play with your dolls and write an amateur play?" "Don't you ever use the "A" word when referring to my work again!" "So insecure. Follow the clown, Katsura. Mush! Mush!"
Dante turns to K, his fingers still stuck together.
"Please, K, will you come with us? We haven't got the chance to hang out in so long, and by the sound of it, this area is quite unique. Piedmon's an eccentric, but we know how to push his buttons."

The shutmon tutted a little bit at the reaction that Nyao and Katsura had when dealing with piedmon. She simply did not trust the jester at this point as was fully ready to deal with him in whatever manner she saw fit. With a small frown she'd switch her blades from their 'attack' to their 'sheathed' when Nyao gingerly pushed one of them downwards.
She wasn't relaxed however and would cross her arms looking somewhat irritated. She didn't want to deal with this creature; in fact she wanted to do the exact opposite. But she wasn't comfortable letting Dante and the wormmon deal with him by themselves.
"Adventure being finding you something to get smashed on. And I seriously doubt anything you could offer would be equal to the actual worth of a drink of that caliber if it even is what you claim."
Though upon the reaction that dante had to the Piedmon drawing out the handkerchief the shutmon could only raise her brows a bit. Tackling him for drawing out such a trivial item... But his follow up made the shutmon sigh softly.
The antics between dante and the piedmon worried her, more so than she would expect to. With wormmon acting like how they were.... Well. Perhaps she should be less worried? But she wasn't really sure.
The inquiry of whether she wasn't coming along from Nyao only really illiciated a shrug. She wasn't sure if she was really sold with these interactions; she felt like she was on the outside looking in on a situation she still wasn't sure about at this point. As she couldn't really deal with the piedmon in the fashion she was hoping.
She'd frown slightly and flip open her right blade. Moving to cut the fingertrap down the middle if dante would let her.
"All right. I'm only coming with you because I really don't trust him and I'd rather not have you end up in a ditch with that knife of his in your back. I suppose we can play catch up on the way to whatever this is...."

Katsura was content going with Piedmon no matter what K thought of the situation, in addition it quickly became obvious whose side Katsura was on when Piedmon pulled out a handkerchief. Because Katsura wasn't present during the data core tournament, she lacked the context required to understand why Dante suddenly decided to tackle Piedmon over a handkerchief. Katsura handled that situation by letting out a terrified scream at Dante. She nodded in concurrence with Piedmon's words genuinely seeing Dante as a violent aggressor. Though she calmed down a bit after seeing Dante failing miserably in fighting Piedmon to the point of ending in a finger trap. Nyao while equally shocked found Dante's punishment hilarious, even if she tried to pretend otherwise. "First in then... Pffft!" Nyao couldn't resist laughing long enough to help Dante get out of the finger trap, she wasn't even sure if she actually felt like it. Something she was capable of helping with though was in how to smoke without hands; "You stick your head in a fire pit!" Not the most helpful advice... Nyao also made a spoiled "Aww" when K cut her free as if she had killed a good joke. Katsura meanwhile was busy helping Piedmon up and dusting him off. "Are you okay, Piedmon? Did he hurt you?"
Katsura listened closely to Piedmon as did Nyao, after short verbal detour about tea they found out that Piedmon wanted to lead them through a stairs, as did Katsura's new hat Wormon. The order of the group walking down the stairs so far was thus: Piedmon first, then Katsura/wormon, then Nyao (ooc: I'm not sure where Dante fits in the order tbh). On the way Nyao overheard Dante's compliments of Katsura, Nyao tapped Katsura on the shoulder to mark that she too was proud and impressed over Katsura and especially her skills in making friends. Katsura was not used to that much flatter so she blushed shyly. "Aww Umm thanks, wait you mean it." "Of course they do, Katsura. You're really special in that way." Now Katsura was completely flustered, she found herself overwhelmed by all this love and popularity and it made her unsure what to say. "Hehe, Katsura just say 'thank you'. I believe everyone understand." "Thank you" Katsura managed to say, this made her so endearing to Nyao that she stroked her. That when she found out that Piedmon could use some comfort after being accused of being an amateur. "I know another word that starts with A, how about "amazing"? The letter A is also the best grade an act can receive. "

While the group has a daunting task before them, they wouldn't be getting any wine unless they could learn to get along. Fortunately K frees Dante from the finger trap. Definitely more pleasant than Nyao's idea to smoke without using your hands. While Dante's impulsive action was coming from a place of concern, it didn't help to smooth things over.
"Alright, I'm sorry for tackling you, Piedmon. I guess I have to be more trusting. Thanks for freeing me, K. I'm willing to work together if Piedmon agrees to behave himself."
The site of Katsura consoling Piedmon after his dustup with Dante was more than a little humorous. A girl with an obnoxious bug on her head, showing concern over a psychotic Mega Digimon.
"I should be fine, thanks for asking, Katsura. Now then, we've got some wine to procure."
With K going along with the others because of her suspicions of Piedmon, the gang proceeds down the digital staircase. They reach a long platform about 10 feet wide, in a giant room with fragments of data floating around aimlessly. On the other end of the platform is a door, but they would have to be careful not to fall off. Dante watches as Nyao comforts her Tamer. Why couldn't Wormmon be more like that?! Katsura gives Piedmon some positive reinforcement about his plays.
"Now that's what I like to hear. Finally a good review." "You know, I'm tempted to make another joke, but being around Katsura's got me in a good mood. Hey Nyao, I'll trade ya Tamers." "What?! After everything we've been through, and you can't show me appreciation?" "Sorry Dante, but you have to admit that Katsura is much more pleasant to be around than you. She doesn't smell like an ashtray, she isn't bitter and sarcastic, and she has a kind heart that can bring out the soft side in even a maniacal tyrant like myself." "Ya, fine. It's not a competition."
It seems both Wormmon and Piedmon were quite smitten with Katsura. And Dante found himself on the outside looking in at their circle of friendship. As they are walking across the platform, Dante has a chance to catch up with K.
"Thanks for coming with us, K. This bottle of wine sounds like quite the delicacy. Wormmon told me all about the time you two brought down one of the dark spires. I must admit, your current look is quite different than the last time we met. I didn't think you were the type of Digimon that goes on adventures. But, does that mean something happened to your inn?"
As the group appears to be getting closer to finding the bottle of Heaven's Nectar, they were not the only ones searching for the wine. Wormmon starts to sing.
"We're on a mission to find the wine. Soon that sweet nectar will be mine. Katsura's hair is so dang pretty, Nyao is a cool overgrown kitty. Our friend K is a total badass, she's got the moves like Dante's got sass. The Prince of Chaos has become a friend, his plays are amazing from start to end. We're awesome, we're magnificent, we're downright the best. Now I just need some food, I want a chicken breast."

Her irritation was obvious, her mistrust was overwhelming and her steely gaze didn't waiver from the piedmon even as Katsura for some reason screamed in response to such a simple maneuver. She'd slowly shake her head a little bit; should she really trust this digimon? Should she trust the company he kept or the company that trusted him?
She didn't really know the answer to that offhand, but it didn't help her brooding attitude at the moment. The reaction from Nyao however when the shutmon cut the finger trap only got a quirk of an eyebrow and a small shrug. If he couldn't use his hands, he couldn't use his digivice and if there was going to be a fight later they would likely have some issues.
She could feel her irritation start to push upwards as the two started to talk to one another but there wasn't much she could do about it. So she simply didn't address the fact they seemed to be catering to one another's desires of complimenting one another.
Some people were just like that, it didn't bother her usually but perhaps piedmon just had her on edge or something. She'd exhale slowly and dip her head in a nod to dante.
"No problem. It's... Well. It's literally just a toy that can be somewhat problematic. Used those sort of things on some digimon back at the inn when they were being unruly. Just the young ones with hands mind you."
She'd get a small grin and snort after a few moments.
"Though they would get a cookie if they were good and figured out how to get out of it. Pity I don't have one, but considering how I had to help you..."
There it was, a bit of teasing just to try to lighten what could of been con-screwed as a sour mood. She stuck out her tongue before turning to follow after dante. She remained pretty quiet as they walked; her tail swishing behind her thoughtfully.
There was a lot that she didn't understand and humans just in general were difficult for her to deal with. Especially under certain conditions. To be fair the innkeeper was... Well. She wasn't really much of a social guru anymore was she? Her home turf was gone and she had to cope with ever changing locations. It's easy to call yourself a master at something when you're on your home turf...
She shook her head and watched the others quietly. There was interactions and baselines she really didn't understand. There were thing she tried to see and honestly she was getting worried that she might of made the incorrect choice of coming along.
Up until dante addressed her directly. Reminding her why ultimately she was here; she was here to help a friend in a situation that more or less would be very negative overall considering one particular digimon here.
He started off with thanking her, even going so far as adding in that this wine must be a delicacy. That was certainly an understatement for her. She knew of this wine, not extensively but... Well. It would be worth it if they ultimately were able to get even a cup.
Then came the soft level of praise that she received from dante, wormmon likely wouldn't tell him about what happened there or who did what if they didn't approve of it. Sure he could be fickle sometimes, but there was an underlying understanding of that particular drive that the shutmon recognized.
There was a soft sigh as the human got to the next part she was just hoping wouldn't be brought to light. He didn't think her the adventuring type, he followed suit by asking if something happened to her inn.
There was a long span of silence from the shutmon. She didn't respond too much to the wormmon singing, her ears flicked forward to lock onto the other before resuming their usual 'stance'. After some deliberation and a somewhat far off look in her eye she had to admit it to her first human customer who at this point she could just call a friend.
"You're welcome. The wine is a delicacy and... Well. He must of thought I did well enough to share if that's the case. I'm not much of a force in a fight."
There was a quick pause and she'd rub her muzzle, staring at dante.
"When we first met, I wasn't even capable of understanding digivolution as a concept. I assumed I would be locked to rookie for until I eventually passed."
There was another pause, but this one was punctuated with a frown.
"Have you ever read the "Series of Unfortunate events?" It's some human batch of novels, you could say that my adventures have been punctuated in some fashion like that. But ultimately they let me grow as a person."
She was dodging the question and she knew it, she'd clench her hands so tightly that her claws started to threaten to draw what was the equivalent of blood to the digimon.
"It's gone Dante, burned to the ground along with a thousand years of my life."

Despite knowing the obvious Katsura was nevertheless relieved that Piedmon was fine. What made her even more relived was the immediate reconciliation of Dante and Piedmon. Meanwhile Nyao had to invite herself into the conversation with K and Dante. "I gotta get some of them one day." Katsura rolled her eyes a bit, she didn't know what it was for but knowing Nyao's definition of the word "fun", Katsura lacked the imagination to find out what purpose that would serve. The group was relatively silent as they walked down the stairs though it would probably have been quite a sight. Then at the bottom of the stairwell Katsura and Nyao got to get the fruit of the positive reinforcement leading to a debate about whether Nyao and Wormon should switch partner. Nyao had to laugh happily at this turn of events which kept getting more hilarious once Dante objected culminating in Piedmon joining in. "Hahaha, so I get him?! Not fair! Hey Katsura maybe we can upgrade your digidevice to an Xros one." Katsura smiled at this and for once she was sure Nyao couldn't mess her hair up this time. "Aww thanks guys." Katsura was getting flustered as she was starting to give in to the praise which only causes Nyao to giggle. At this point the conversation had shifted to one between Dante and K and at the same time Wormon had got Nyao to sing along on a song with no one else to speak to Katsura turned to Piedmon in the hopes he knew about the one thing from their conversation that really caught her interest. "Umm Piedmon, what is a dark spire?"
"We're on a mission to find the wine. Soon that sweet nectar will be mine. Katsura's hair is so dang pretty, Nyao is a cool overgrown kitty. Our friend K is a total badass, she's got the moves like Dante's got sass. The Prince of Chaos has become a friend, his plays are amazing from start to end. We're awesome, we're magnificent, we're downright the best. Now I just need some food, I want a chicken breast."

As the group is walking across the long platform, they have the chance to catch up, share some laughs, and even sing a song. Nyao is actually quite the singer. From the looks of it, K was more than capable of handling things on her own, but what Dante didn't realize is how uneasy K really feels away from her inn. Dante feels bad that her inn burnt down. It was such a nice little place, a haven in a dangerous land. At the risk of accidentally triggering her blades, Dante gives K a friendly pat on the back, showing his support.
It appears that Piedmon's finger trap was quite the entertaining little party trick. K mentions how she would use them on unruly guests, then mentions that she would give out cookies to those that managed to free themselves.
"Cookies?..." "It's like he has a food radar."
Nyao also took a liking to Piedmon's finger trap. Seeing some flail about struggling to free themselves must appeal to her dark sense of humor. Or maybe she's secretly into that kind of thing. Piedmon was beginning to like Nyao more and more. Based on their first encounter, while Katsura was the caring, compassionate one, Nyao is a skilled warrior, who would do anything to protect Katsura. Was Nyao going to replace Lilithmon in Piedmon's heart? Katsura asks Piedmon about the dark spires.
"Ah, you mean those unflattering constructs popping up everywhere? Those towers can control Digimon with dark rings, even prevent Digimon from digivolving or staying at higher levels. I must say, while I find them unattractive, I do admire whoever is responsible for them. As a writer, slash actor, slash director, slash supervillain, I can appreciate the lengths that they go to in order to conquer the Digital World."
"Supervillain? You're more like an annoying antihero at best. Ya, we've seen a few dark spires before. The can be destroyed, but there's usually a strong Digimon guarding them, and it takes a whole group."
Dante didn't seriously think that Wormmon would leave him for Katsura. Then again, he could think of a couple of reasons. Two things Dante lacks that Wormmon adores.
"Then it's settled! I'll start hanging out with Katsura from now on. Dante, give her your Digivice!" "That's not how this works. I'm a little offended, after everything we've been through together." "Ah, quit your whining. I'll still come over and kick your butt at video games."
Finally, the group reaches the end of the platform. Dante is about to approach the door, when Piedmon steps in his way.
"Allow me."
Piedmon approaches the door and reaches for the handle. He tries to open the door, but it won't budge. Growing increasingly frustrated, Piedmon starts yanking on the door in a comical fashion.
"Stop hamming it up, Piedmon." "Ya. You're acting like that guy in the movie based on the books K was talking about." "Come on, open up you blasted door! Curses! You've made a very powerful enemy, door. One with far too much free time on his hands."
Suddenly, Piedmon hears something buzzing down below. He lets go of the handle and turns around.
"Enter, the mooks."
A fleet of Flymon soar up from bellow.
"Flymon? Looks like this room just turned into one big hive." "There must be a dozen of them!"
The Flymon fire a barrage of Deadly Stings at the group, shooting poison stingers that can paralyze the group. Piedmon sinks into the floor, then stands upside down underneath the platform.
"What do you think you're doing, you giant, impractically dressed coward?!" "I'm just playing it safe, is all. Someone is going to have to drag the bodies away."
It looks like Piedmon is taking a more passive approach to this encounter, leaving the rest of the group to fend for themselves.
"Don't worry, Katsura! I'll protect you."
The irony of this was lost on the Worm King, as a bug hat would not provide nearly as much protection as Nyao would. One of the stingers grazes Dante, ripping a hole in the side of his leather jacket.
"Let's teach these bumblebees a lesson."

OOC: Might not be my best post, I just want restart this thread.
Katsura listened to Piedmon explaining dark spires, the implications were horrifying for her to say the least. "That's horrible, why would anyone control innocent digimon like that?" Meanwhile Nyao was getting out of the song due to a conclusion of whether Katsura should be Wormon's tamer. This exchange was simply so funny to her that she has had to laugh out loud, while doing so she hid her mouth behind the back of her hand. "Ohohoho, I should try playing more video games. How about that?" Eventually they reached the bottom of the stairs there they discovered a platform and a door. Piedmon tried to act like a gentleman by opening the door, too bad it wasn't possible to open. "Maybe we should push it instead?" "Maybe we should get out" Nyao said, she had heard a buzzing sound. As it turns out that sound was caused by a swarm of Flymon approaching them. Nyao drew her sword then as the swarm tried to attack the duo, and the worm king who for some reason wanted to protect Katsura as a worm hat, a red light came out from the eyes of Nyao's helmet. The first wave of attacks from the swarm was completely stopped as the Flymon was petrified midair. Then Nyao slashed her oversized sword, making sure to hit as many Flymon a slash as possible. "You know, now would be the perfect time for Lilithmon."
Cobra stare: The eyes in her snake helmet glows, petrifying anyone who looks into them for 1 post. Cool-down: 2 posts

Needless to say, Katsura isn't a fan of control spires. Forcibly taking control of a Digimon is going too far, and Dante longs for the day he finally gets to meet their creators face to face and make them pay. Things were off to a good start. The mood is lighthearted and cheery. Wormmon talks about becoming Katsura's partner instead of Dante's. Nyao mentions that she should start playing more video games. Wormmon smiles, nodding his head in agreement. The mood changed when the fleet of Flymon swarmed the group. Piedmon is too busy saving his own hide. Nyao recommends to Wormmon that they could use Lilithmon. "Alright, ask and ye shall receive, my jiggly friend."
Wormmon hops down from Katsura's head. The Worm King will miss his new throne. Dante's Digivice starts to glow, as energy begins to spiral around Wormy. The mass of energy becomes round, spinning like a planet, until it erupts in a cloud of smoke. When the dust settles, the Goddess of Destruction is standing there. With a fiery gaze in her eyes, Lilithmon raises her arms out, dark energy spiraling around her hands. Nyao was getting to work with her sword, and her paralyzing glare. The Champion levels are no match for her, but their numbers could overwhelm the group. More Flymon continue to rise up. One of them shoots its stinger at Lilithmon. The Goddess uses her Queen's Guard spell, creating a violet colored portal to absorb the attack. She then launches the stinger back out, flying right back at the Flymon and piercing right through their right wing. The two femme fatales continue to slaughter the hive. Suddenly, Dante notices the door open up from the inside. The voice of a young woman can be heard coming from the next room. "Quick, come in here! There's too many of them. You must hurry."
Dante waves to the others, motioning towards the door. Dante rushes over to the door and exits the hive-like structure. Piedmon heard the door open up, and quickly floats through the doorway he was having great difficulty getting through. Would Katsura and the Digimon brave enough to fight make it through before someone is seriously hurt? ________________ Queen's Guard: Creates a portal to absorb an incoming attack. Lilithmon can fire the attack at a target of her choosing. 4 post cooldown. ________________ Alright, we are back in business! XD We will get back to a good pace and just take it one post at a time. 2 pages, 10 pages, 20?

So far there wasn't much of a fight, more Nyao finding creative ways to satisfy her large bloodthirst at the expense of countless numbers of Flymon. As the first wave were paralyzed and then quickly wiped out by her sword clouds of data was spawning all to a overjoyed giggle from Nyao and rolling eyes of Katsura. With Wormon no longer on her head nothing prevented Katsura from turning to Dante. "This is why I'm defining what's funny, sigh." "Oh shush, let me have this moment" Then Nyao blinked and yellow light came out from her eyes in a spark. "Flee!" Now the 2nd wave retreated right onto the third only to be slashed in half to the tone of Nyao's psychotic giggle. She barely even noticed Lilithmon until she created a portal to send their own stingers after them. "Yay good one Lilithmon, this is so fun!" Eventually a door opened up and a voice directed them inside, something Dante also picked up. "Nyao, we got to go in here." "Awww can't we stay a little longer?" "Nyao!" "Fine" And so Nyao helped Katsura escaping through the door.
Order of the Goddess [RAM Upgrade]: Nyao's eyes briefly flashes yellow, while doing so Nyao may say a one word command that must be obeyed by everyone who has seen these flashing eyes. While the technique technically cannot be blocked except by being blind it is limited in effect: If the order is nonsensical the attack is wasted (she can't order a wormmon to fly), if the order is suicidal or out of character the listener may resist through sheer force of will a super mega is almost guaranteed to resist in this situation, the listener is not obligated to follow the intention of the order, only the letter. (A WarGreymon forced to "fire" may shoot a missile or breath fire). As a rule of thumb the listener answers the question "(Order) what?" Independent of Nyao's intentions.

Nyao and Wormy continue to slaughter the hive of Flymon. It seems some have a different sense of humor than others, as Nyao gleefully enjoys taking down the airborne insects. Nyao's eyes turn yellow, and she orders the second wave to flee. Lilithmon cackles like a witch as they destroy one after another. Dante and Katsura get tired of waiting while the twisted sisters have their fun.
"Come on, Lilith! No sense wasting all your energy." "Bah! Alrighty. Just one more."
Lilithmon wiggles her fingers around, as violet colored magic energy dances through her fingers. Very heavy magical gauntlets appear on one of the Flymon, sending the bug dropping down. They didn't even have time to look around like Wild E. Coyote before they plummet down the hive.
"Mu ha ha ahahaha! Alright, let's go."
After some fun and games, the group makes it through the door. They appear to be in a much fancier part of Old Terminus, at the end of a long hall with several doors on either side. Piedmon looks at Nyao, then turns and looks at Lilithmon, before looking back.
"Ooh, the two of you are quite impressive, ladies."
Piedmon adjusts his collar and brushes his hair, trying to impress his two crushes. The group is greeted by the young woman who helped them out. She is about 30 years old, has long brunette hair, and is wearing a flattering red dress.
"Greetings. I see you ran into some trouble in there. What are you doing here?" "Well, sexy hooman, we are searching for a precious bottle of wine. We found ourselves in that strange room, and before we could break the door down, those Flymon ambushed us. At least we got plenty of data out of it!" "But, the door wasn't locked. You just turn and push..."
Dante and Lilithmon glare over at Piedmon with flames in their eyes. The jester shrinks down in size to that of a small yappy dog and scratches the back of his head.
"Ya, uh, about that... my bad, you guys. Not even Hedy Lamarr got it right every time on the first take." "You worthless sack of frog scrotums! You didn't even think to try pushing the door open?" "Well what are you complaining about? You had your fun." "Still doesn't make it right, fool."
Dante tries to repress his seething rage towards Piedmon and focus on the task at hand.
"Alright, we're here now. Thank you for helping us. My name is Dante, and this is my Digimon partner Lilithmon." "Pleased to meet ya, lady. Dante's really more of my manservant." "It's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Sherry. We don't get much company down here. You must be after the last bottle of Heaven's nectar. I can show you where it is."
Piedmon returns to normal size, celebrating by throwing confetti.
"Woo hoo! Things are finally picking up." "It's down this hall in the cellar, but it is heavily guarded. Come on, I can show you."
Sherry turns and starts walking down the hall. Dante, Piedmon, and Lilithmon all stare as her voluptuous hips shake from side to side with every step. ______________
Dominance Cuffs: Lilithmon summons drastically heavy weights that appear around one target and attach to their arms and legs. The cuffs look like black stone gauntlets with purple markings. While wearing the cuffs, one can only move very slowly, and with much effort, if they have the strength to move at all. The target must be within Lilithmon's line of sight. Dominance Cuffs can be avoided, and Digimon capable of magic stand a better chance of negating the spell. Dominance Cuffs lasts 3 posts. 4 post cooldown.

The massacre of the Flymon was still causing Nyao much fun and excitement as a matter of fact, when Lilithmon used large magical handcuffs to ground a Flymon, Nyao turned to Lilithmon mid-fight. "I had no idea you're into that sort of thing!" Katsura gave out an annoyed sigh at Nyao for not only killing so many Flymon but taking so much time off just to ask such a question? Because of that Katsura saw it as a blessing that they got to leave through a door courtesy of a young lady. Once out in a more fancier part of the old Terminus City, Piedmon broke the ice with a compliment. "Oh thanks, you too!" "Did you have to hurt that many though?" "It was just for fun and those Flymon could kill you if they got the chance." "You know how I feel about those things..." "I do that's why I haven't absorbed a single Flymon they will return to the village of New beginnings after some time." Katsura sighed sadly this conversation was exhausting for her to carry on with. Lilithmon did a good job speaking to the lady on behalf of the group... Until it was revealed that the door was never locked in the first place. And chaos ensued and lead Piedmon to shrink to the size of a dog. All while Katsura was panically going from one to another in a desperate attempt to make peace. "Please, no stop please just be friends." Katsura sent Dante a frustrated glare for not doing anything about the drama, she had expected him to at the very least trying to talk with Lilithmon not just standing there looking like a kid with coal in his Christmas sock! Before Katsura knew it, it was time to introduce herself to this lady who was apparently named Sherry. Therefore Katsura and Nyao made a simultaneous greeting bow. "I'm Ise Katsura, this is my partner Nyao." Nyao couldn't keep up this politeness for long because an external event was too amusing for her to ignore. "Hehe man-servant" Similarly, Katsura had apparently an odd set of priorities. "Your name is Sherry and you sell wine? Is this a family tradition?" After some brief conversation Katsura and Nyao followed after Sherry
