Was it over?
The tamer really, really hoped it was. Collapsed on his back and completely exhausted from even his own Digisoul, he found himself quite unable to catch his breath. Similarly, the Deputymon couldn't manage to do more than roll over onto his back, weapons uselessly cast off to the side. The only one with a semblance of energy left was the Pipismon, resting calmly on the tamer's shirt with a small shriek.
Only now, did the tamer give a careful scratch behind the bat's ear. "Ugh..." Katsura's question rang heavily in his ear. What was all this? 'Why' was all this? "Well... my party and I came out here to try and deal with... 'that'." He gave a nod towards the red mass in the distance. "But when we got too close, it took hold of a section of our minds, and... this."
Was he really trying to explain away his actions like it was some sort of mind control? Just how willing would this group be to believe that? "I don't know how long this can hold. We'll... have to put as much distance between ourselves and the field as possible. Hopefully... it'll put us beyond their sphere of influence..."

Distance! Yes, distance might be what works here! But...That thing didn't give Coolmon the brightest of feelings. "...Where are the rest of your friends? Um...I'm not doubting your story, but...where'd they go? Can they be saved too? Uh...Also, yeah, I think getting a lot of distance from that thing could be the best course of action here."
Coolmon felt tired. But, she felt like this...this couldn't be let go so easily. The Pucchiemon glanced to Kat and Nyao. "...What'll you guys do from here? Fight the red thing?" She felt like she had a grand too many questions here.

Winning a skirmish was one thing but dealing with the inevitable aftermath was a whole different territory. Where a total anhiliation would at least leave nothing in its wake this fight left behind an atmosphere of uncertainty and the tamer's words didn't help matters much nor did Coolmon asking them what to do next. "What do we do?" "I could kill them on the spot" "No... I don't want to cross that line ever again... Liliana-" "-I know, don't say that name, but we can't let them stay here. Whether he's lying or not about distance, this can easily start over again." "I could... Send them back to the human world?" "That's one solution, which reminds me, I should probably blow up that digidevice it's tainted." "But Nyao... If you do that they..." "... Won't be able to return to the digital world ever again, I know. Without a working digidevice they will not be able to threat anyone. Deputymon will remain an one-armed champion level for the rest of his life even in the event of relapse." "Nyao... That's harsh..." "There will be sacrifices no matter what, risks to be taken. You were almost shot 4 times today, how do you think that made me feel?" "I... I'm sorry Nyao... I don't want to hurt anyone" "I know you mean well. Coolmon, what do you think?"

Sheesh, wasn't that harsh? The Coolmon's questions were reasonable, but the ultimatum given by this Mervamon was both cruel and ill-thought-out. Even if the Digivice was destroyed, a new (and presumably non-corrupted) one would eventually 'appear' with time. As for everything else, the tamer just gave a groan.
"Look, I know you all don't really get what's going on here, and I don't either, but I can get what you're getting at for now. Do what you want with the Digivice, and we'll just hang out in... Shibuya, then?"
Hopefully, at least? Perhaps a little consent to one end of the plan would move it along. Even now, the Deputymon was still flored, unable to even move a finger after that large expulsion of energy.

"...That's...really harsh..." Coolmon started. "...You two should probably...take a few breaths? Maybe that'll help you think a little better..." She continued before she glanced towards the Digivice. "...Yeah, just stick...away from here. The Village. The real world...Just get away from this thing. And get some holosuits for Pipismon and Deputymo--...Wait, is Deputymon even alive?"
She had no idea by now. "Honestly, I have no idea if any of this is gonna work and it's just...damage control by now, right? And...If you're gonna fight the red guy...I'm coming with you. You two are my friends. It'd be uncool if...If I just let you go and get yourselves deleted by that thing."

It looks like nobody was supporting Nyao's ideas although Katsura, who knew her better than anyone, could easily tell what was going in Nyao's head. This was Nyao's definition of justice, a definition that was greatly distorted by the heat of the moment. Naturally, Nyao was not in a mental position to come up with any decisions not overly biased towards some kind of vengeance. Katsura looked at Nyao with pity and concern, then she patted Nyao on her hip. "Nyao... I'm okay now. I don't want revenge, I still remember last time. Whatever controlled them and made them hurt me is over there." Katsura pointed towards the red mass, this caused Nyao to sigh out loud annoyed. The justice Nyao desired couldn't be achieved by targeting a purified tamer petting a bat. The only topic so far where Nyao felt anything remotely reminiscent of approval was on the subject of the danger a corrupted digidevice possessed, even then everyone seemed equally disturbed by how content Nyao was with the implications of blowing up someone's digidevice. Katsura, then looked towards the tamer after hearing Coolmon out. "A holosuit is probably the best idea, I'd really wish you to return one day... Somehow" Then Katsura reached towards her pocket and took out a bunch of bits, offering them to the tamer. "Here, it might be enough for a holosuit. I can send you to Terminus City if you promise to go home and not hurting anyone." "Sigh, Katsura I still think you're too nice. But I guess you never change. Fine... Since I'm outnumbered. If you find your way back into the digital world without turning into that again, I won't stop you. If Deputymon is still alive, you can use those bits on a new arm instead. That's my last offer. On the other hand" Nyao never got around to finish that sentence, all she did was raise her shoulders in a shrug, Nyao probably assumed that the previous actions were sufficient material to imagine what Nyao would do if the tamer betrayed her trust. And it's probably not worth thinking about too hard. Besides, Nyao had just heard Coolmon talking about going further through the Reaper. "Hold up Coolmon, did you not see that pile of dead digimon? My shield is made of chrome-digizoid and yet it was almost destroyed by one single well-placed shot. I may be able to partially resist its power but as for you and Katsura it's too dangerous! And if that thing has mind controlling powers, what makes you think you can resist its influence?"

Well, there were definitely a lot of words flying around - and even continued pity for the Digivice being destroyed. Did they really have time to have this sort of conversation in the middle of a warzone of all things? Yet here they were, talking about holosuits, Deputymon being alive or dead, and even charging the D-Reaper head-on.
As outnumbered as the tamer was in this conversation, there was a lot he had to comment on - but just how much would they even listen? Slowly sitting up, the Pipismon crawled right up onto his shoulder. "Deputymon's alive. If he wasn't, I'd be in too much pain to move, much less hold this conversation. Other than that, its a bad idea for any of you three to get involved in the fight against the Core."
Why was this? "If the D-Reaper could control people freely, it wouldn't have to manifest like this. I didn't say before, but my friends and I have all fought smaller nests before - and have had D-Reaper data in our systems as a result. It hand't been used against us until today, but... well, you and Nyao have been shot, right?" He gave a nod to both Coolmon and the Mervamon. "It's possible that the damage you've taken has already impacted your data. I would focus more on receiving medical help to purge that data rather than try and risk a fight you know you'll not even have the chance to win."
Did that make sense enough? "Either way, make your move. I don't want to give it another chance to get inside my head!"

"Okay. Katsura, Nyao, get rid of the digivice. And...Where can I seek the appropriate medical attention, then?" Coolmon inquired, glancing to her shoulder.
Man she didn't wanna become this big weird red thing. That'd be bad. Anyways, so it seemed fighting the reaper's a bad idea. Okay, maybe. But...But...Someone had to try, right? "...Wait...What...even is the D-Reaper?
She felt like she might already know a bit but she wanted some confirmation too. "...I think we can answer that on the way to like...Terminus or Shibuya..."

Katsura felt relived over the news that Deputymon was in fact alive. She made a sigh to show off how relieved she was at the moment. Then at that point Coolmon instructed Nyao to destroy that digidevice, without as much as blinking Nyao pointed her snake-arm towards the digidevice and a second later a beam of dark energy shot out from its mouth and obliterated the digidevice (an: Nyao spent one charge for Dex-Bazooka to pull this off) "Done" This was a jarring reminder of how little compassion Nyao personally had for those subjects, the little she had was obviously a byproduct of her love for Katsura. With that being taken care of, Nyao could partially focus on the conversation with the tamer. However Nyao was visibly running out of patience, not that she was going to resume her wrath no rather, Nyao was tapping with her feet on the spot and looked every other place only going back to look when social conduct obligated her to. You could easily tell that Nyao wanted to be everywhere else than right here, an understandable desire considering that they were currently standing in a war zone. As for Katsura, after listening to the speech she was acting... In accordance to her own order of priorities and while pressing buttons on her digidevice. "There should be a clinique in Whitewater, apparently a Mikemon. We should-" Nyao interrupted Katsura this time. "-We don't have time, Katsura where do you want to send them?" Katsura, startled by Nyao's sudden assertive attitude quipped meekly. "Terminus." "Great make a portal, we're leaving." Once again Katsura complied and before you knew it there was a large portal to Terminus City. Nyao was now pointing at it in a commanding way. Taking the hint Katsura walked onto the Terminus side of the portal. "While you're standing there, sign me up for an appointment. Tell them it's acute." And once again Katsura submitted to Nyao by tinkering with her digidevice. A moment later she would have scheduled Nyao for an emergency medical checkup with Dr. Mikemon choosing the earliest available time. Meanwhile Nyao looked towards the tamer and Deputymon. "You two have not earned your freedom of movement yet, but please don't make me use force. Please just go. Pipismon you're free to come with us if you want. As for you Coolmon. When I use my full power to fight an agent in a group, I'm taking a risk for the greater good. When you fight the Reaper, in your current state all by yourself it's suicide. You'll either die at the hands of the Reaper or live long enough to be its slave" Nyao was ironically mentally well prepared to push and drag both the tamer and Deputymon if simply pointing and directing won't do. But if it was she would have entered the portal afterwards, what would Coolmon do in the meantime?

What was the D-Reaper? Honestly, this wasn't the time to answer these sorts of questions - not that the tamer was in much mood to talk as it was. Hoisting the fallen Deputymon over his shoulder, he gave a glance as that blast of dark light traveled outward, scattering the Digivice into data where it stood. For as much gravity as the three same to give to it, all this earned from the tamer was a small 'tsk' between his teeth.
Whatever he knew that they didn't, well, it wasn't really relevant for the moment. Through quite a bit of lag in the high data usage in Terminus, somehow Katsura would have been able to set up her appointment. Either way, the tamer hobbled his way through the portal, simply giving a nod towards Nyao's demand. "Well, so long as you understand, then." He clearly made his way to the station... but as he would fall out of earshot, the tamer mumbled to himself.
"How long will it take to get that Digivice back... a week, I guess."
Had he lost his Digivice before in a similar manner? Well, that was honestly the least important mystery here...
