Standing under the blistering heat of the sun for a few moments raising his hand as he looked up at the sky, hadn't moved an inch it seemed, how long they had been walking was anyone's guess at the moment. Unliked the burned out human behind them two Agumon twins seemed more than content with walking ahead for a while looking around each and every corner of the desert. One clearly more excited then the other clutching a piece of paper while he ran forward occasionally looking back at the two following him. For a quick few moments Shi thought about why exactly they were here, maybe it was heat stroke making him forget but one look at that paper reminded him of the reason.
It was just a normal day when he arrived in Terminus, nothing major going on nor anything dangerous surprisingly, even went a whole hour without something blowing up. It wasn't until the trio stumbled on a piece of paper, it read.
'All are welcome to the most exciting even sweeping the digital world, come face fascinating challenges, strange puzzles, and riddles with a powerful opponent at the end in this fantastic treasure hunt, locating in the Ancient Ruins to the west.'
It even included directions and landmarks to get there, while Shi wasn't one to really care about things like that, it was something that brought great joy to Yuudai taking the paper down and nearly begging them to go. What didn't sound like fun to them was an interesting adventure to him, sadly Shi was outvoted due to Yuudai's puzzle loving brother wanting to see what the whole event was all about.
Brings them to now as Shi walks over a steep whatever you call a hill of sand standing over it getting a good look at the ruins below. Before walking down a bit fast stopping near a stand in front of what appeared to be an entrance in, Shi was the first one here it seemed, crossing his arms as he went to go check the thing, but his pant leg was quickly pulled on by Yuudai. " Let's wait and see if anyone else comes out, or around. Don't want to get a head start." Yuudai asked looking up at him, Shi rolled his eyes before standing still after all Yuudai was the one who wanted to come so badly.
Yasuo looked around unsure if others would come or not.

The desert, the worst kind of environment for Ayumi to be in. Her skin sunburned so ridicolously easily, she could hardly go to the beach without extremely heavy protection. And yet, the very notion of treasure and, more importantly, adventure proved too enticing for the girl to resist.
It was meant to be just a normal solo trip back to Terminus for Ayumi. As Yukiko was busy working, and Mizu was too busy using Yukiko's laptop to try and find members for their new club, Ayumi was left alone with her new partner, christened Solomon. On a whim, she decided to make use of this freedom, and her new digivice, to take a solo trip into the Digital World! Yukiko told her not to, but she has Solomon with her, everything will be okay!
And so, the pale girl approached the ruins, holding a parasol in one hand to shield herself from the merciless desert sun, and cradling the young Solomon, having evolved into Dorimon overnight, in the other. She wore thick sunglasses to protect her sensitive and light but long-sleeved clothes, with a long airy skirt to cover her legs. Her feet were equipped with heavy boots, which was a good idea, as she had to walk more than expected!
And yet, when she finally did arrive at the ruins, someone else was already there. If she were Yukiko, she'd probably hide in embarrassment now. But she was not Yukiko.
"Oooooooy! You there! You here for the treasure too??"

The sun was merciless today although that could be related to the fact that they were in a desert, Miyu didn't even know how she ended up here, one second she and Bloom were arriving to the trailmon station, taking a smal stroll for Terminus city and getting a much needed upgrade for her Digivice (the Digi-Port to be precise), and seconds later the plant ran away, I mean Bloom probably was excited to be back at her own world but leaving Miyu was wrong, and now they're in a desert.
"So Bloom... Were are we?" She asked after being following the recently evolved Palmon
"This is going to sound funny... I don't really know..." Palmon laughed nervously knowing that the answer wasn't what Miyu would like to hear. "You say you wanted to have an adventure in the Digiworld, so I thought that I could share the experience of starting a new adventure and discovering new places, I've never been here before so..."
Miyu sighed she couldn't argue agains that, but it really needed to be a desert? Thankfully she brought a bottle of water to keep her hydrated and a lunch box if they needed to rest and eat something, they kept walking until finally saw the entrance of some ruins, it seemed like an interesting place and there were some people with digimon outside
"Looks like we found our adventure, LET'S GO! Palmon ran towards the group with Miyu following behind

It would seem like more people had arrived, the first yelling at the trio from a distance. Though Shi did scratch the side of his head given he wasn't really here for that. "We are, well cept him he's here for the puzzles!" Yuudai said motioning over to his brother, who could do nothing but nod as that was what he was here for.
Shi though was giving the newcomer a quick look over as he tended to do, she seemed more prepared for the desert then he did that's for sure, little over prepared since he didn't know she needed protection. By then though someone else had arrived, another human with a partner that seemed just as excited, if not more then his was. Another quick looking at the Digimon and human, while he thought a Palmon might not be fine here they seemed alright.
"Hey fellow adventurers, names Yuudai, that's my brother Yasuo and Shi over there." The Agumon mentioned pointing them out. Both seemed to give a small smile at the energy the Agumon had before looking back at the others. Shi, however, was already around the little stand set up nearby, which seemed to just have a very large pile of papers with pens nearby. On closer inspection, though he also found some bottled water underneath in some sort of, Ice cooler literally made of slowly melting ice.

Ayumi came closer, and saw that there was a guy with two orange dinosaur Digimon with him. My, that's the second tamer she's met with these dinosaurs! They were quite common in Terminus, too! Strange, quite strange!
Ayumi waved to Shi and Yasuo, and stood in front of Yuudai.
"Hi Shi! Hi Yasuo! Good day Yuudai!" She then struck a pose, making sure to not expose any skin to the sunlight. "I am Ayumi, but you may call me Yumiel. I am the archangel of technology, and digital explorer in training! And this wonderful Digimon here is Solomon, my partner! So, I guess we're in this together, huh?" She hadn't noticed the approach of Miyu and Palmon yet, but Solomon had. The Dorimon had crawled up onto his partner's shoulder to fetch her a water bottle from her backpack, and saw the two new arrivals. He lifted a stubby arm and waved at them.

Miyu and Bloom get closer to the group they could see them better now, there was a boy and two small dinosaurs and a girl that had a small furrball on her shoulder, the little digimon wave at them which Miyu and Bloom waved her hands back, it was a dorable and remind her of Bloom while she was a Tanemon, small round and with tiny little cute feets.
"Good morning! My name is Miyu and the little plant over there is Bloom" She said responding to Yuudai's introduction
"You guys are Agumon, right? Palmon took both hands of the dinosaur digimon and give a friendly hand shake, the flower on her head start releasing a really sweet scent it was obvious that Bloom was happy.
"So... What's the deal with this ruins? First timer in the digital world and I was following Bloom and even she doesn't know where are we, guess that's the point of an adventure, the mystery of the journey and all that" Miyu showed a big smile to the group

Seems like the first newcomer was fine as the first thing Shi saw when he glanced back was her striking a pose before announcing herself, raising an eye at the archangel of technology part Shi bit his tongue not too worried about asking what that was all about. Yet he did wave back at her partner once he did. Though his partners seemed a bit busy with the other newcomer, another Digimon and tamer duo.
Hands were being shaken and Yuudai did his best to pull back a bit so his claws didn't get in the way, he found out pretty fast others don't really like getting clawed. "Yeah, That's my twin brother." He mentioned using his other arm to pull him closer, much to his obvious displeasure.
Though one was a first timer to the world, and judging by what the other said it was the same. "I suppose we are in this together, nice to meet all of you." Shi mentioned in his usual cold expressionless tone with a face to match, though he seemed to take note of what Miyu said. "There's an event going on in the ruins, some sort of treasure hunt." He added curiously that their adventure led them here.
"Yeah, and we plan on finding it, though I'm more interested in the powerful opponent at the end of this." He mentioned a fire burning in his eyes for battle as he showed off the flyer he took, unsure if Miyu and Bloom knew about it.

Ayumi turned to the two newcomers and smiled. "Ah, two more! The more the merrier, I'd say! Nice to meet you, Miyu and Bloom, I am Ayumi, and this is Solomon!" The Dorimon nodded.
Ayumi then turned to Shi, nodded, and pulled out the flyer herself. "Yup, I've seen it, that's why I came here! Though I am less interested in a fight, and more into the ruins themselves, and the treasure,m and what kinds of Digimon live here! My friend has made a research club for the Digital world, you know!"
Solomon gave Ayumi a water bottle, and laid down on her shoulder. "Indeed, we are here on a research mission. Any valuables we find, we are more than willing to share equally." Solomon's voice was strange, it was hollow and emotionless, like a Speak And Spell that had been pitch shifted up.

So it seems there was an event here in the ruins, that sounded interesting, at least was a better first adventure than getting dehydrated in the desert.
"Mysterious ruins, treasures and a strong enemy waiting for us at the end? Sounds like a videogame to me" Said Miyu with a big smile on her face
"I know that smile, I guess we're in too! Palmon was as excited as her tamer and Yuudai, the adventure was calling them "You're thinking what I'm thinking?" Said looking into Miyu's Eyes
Probably Agumon is thinking the same" Answer Miyu with a big smile and at unison both said
"Last one "To the entrance is a Rotten Digi Egg! and both ran towards the entrance of the ruin

So it seemed their group of three turned into a group of seven, Shi was barely able to come when it was just the three of them, but seeing the excited look on Yuudai's face and the less excited but happy look on Yasuo's he couldn't really call it quits here. But the research club did interest him, remembering someone talking about something similar before but that felt like a far-off memory. "Reseach club huh, if you want maybe sometime I can tell you a bit, I've been around the digital world for a long time now." Shi offered his assistance, while normally he didn't want to something urged him to try and at least offer.
And the speak and spell had decided to speak up mentioning something about valuables, but this talking caused Yuudai to laugh a bit. "Hehe, he talks kinda like you Shi." While it was a bit worse then Shi's was he did tend to leave emotions out of his speech. "Rude Yuudai, just rude. She mentioned with a shake of his head as Miyu and Bloom ran off towards the entrance.
"Hey, no way am I losing to you." Yuudai shouted his competitive nature getting the better of him. "Yuudai for goodness sake we keep telling you, DON'T RUN AHEAD." Yasuo shouted as Yuudai got farther and farther from him. "He never listens huh." He added defeated as he walked over following his brother.
"I'll probably be the last one." Shi mentioned putting his hands in his pockets and walking towards it with no intention of racing anyway. Once everyone got inside the ruins would seem vast and much colder compared to outside, the only light coming from outside and dimly lit torches with two doors on either side. With a massive looking Pharoh sitting in a chair on top of a stone slate. Both had two small weird shaped holes in the bottom.
Above the doors were signs written in Japanese, one on the left read. "If you Trust your power follow this way." While the one on the right said. "If you trust your knowledge follow this way." Sand blocked a bit of the doorway but would be very easy to go into despite this.

Ayumi was delighted at the prospect of learning more! Without even asking Solomon climbed back into the backpack to give his Tamer a noteblock and a pencil. "Oh I would so love to hear what you can tell me! This world is so magical and full of wonder!"
She did not begin writing until they had entered the ruins, however. Once she was out of the immense sunlight she could put away her parasol, closing it and stuffing it into a hole in her belt, like a sword. Solomon looked around as Ayumi wrote down what Shi told her. "This place must be ancient. I am most curious about the presence of Japanese writing, however. The rest of the ruins appear to not fit that. And the choice between strength and knowledge is foreboding."

Inside the ruins was a little more colder which Miyu prefered a lot more, suddenly they reach to a split path, it took some time for Miyu to read (she still not that good a reading japanese) thankfully Bloom was faster
"So... Strength or Knwoledge? What you say?" Ask the plant Digimon
"I know I'm not the brightest tool on the box, do you believe in your strength?" It seemed that the strength path was the better choice for them and the fastest
"If you trust me, there's nothing that can stop me! Althoug it would be a nice idea to wait and see what the others think, probably Yuudai is on our side!" Palmon laughed
It didn't took to long for the rest to catch them, Miyu then looked at Shi with a big Smile and say
"So... Which path? Bloom and I are tempted to go for strength but you know we're in a group and we should ask for the rest opinion, since you looked like the one with most experience what youd think?"

Shi stared at the twin doors while Yuudai was more focused on the giant Pharoh sitting down. "Hey Shi I think this thing is a Digimon." Yuudai said as Shi walked up next to the Agumon, quickly pulling out his digivice and scanning the area for a bit turned up nothing. "Might be, but it seems to just be a statue." Shi added returning it to his pocket after all his scanner only worked on alive Digimon. Though the fact Solomon mentioned something had Yasuo talking. "It's an event so they probably did that for a reason, after all, I don't think any of us know how to read ancient text, human or otherwise." Yasuo had some merit in his words after all this was held by some Digimon but the dangers might still be real.
"I'll tell whatever you want to know once we get out here, I think we should focus on the task at hand." Shi mentioned to Ayumi, kinda hoping she didn't write that down. Still, the chose was thrust upon the group to decide. Yuudai held his fist up with a confident smile. "Strength, I know I'm the strongest around. No test of might will stop me." Yuudai said as boastful as ever about his strength. "I'd prefer a test of wit rather then fighting." Yasuo added not sharing his brothers' competitive spirit, so that was pointless as they canceled each other out. "Knowledge." Shi didn't even bat an eye, Yuudai though fell to the ground over exaggerating at his brothers abandoning him.

Ayumi seemed to be disappointed that her writing would need to wait, and stuffed noteblock and pencil back into her backpack. When she saw how the Agumon tried to scan the statue with the digivice, she tried to do the same with her own. As she did, she turned to Shi to give her opinion.
"Ah, i am very bad with strength, Yukiko is the strong one. But I am quite smart if I may say so myself, so I am in favour of the Knowledge test!"
"Ah yes, that does make sense. I just hope they can be removed, otherwise it would be defiling these ruins." Despite being just an In Training Digimon, Solomon already seemed quite inquisitive, letting his deep blue eyes wander along the walls of the temple. "I do agree, knowledge would be preferrable."

Miyu sighed, it was 4-3 for knowledge, there was nothing to do against it, Bloom sighed too, after all she wanted to test the strength of her new form.
"I wonder if it would be a good idea to split ourselves... Who knows maybe different paths take us to different parts of the dungeon and we could find different treasures!" Said Bloom, it sounded like a good idea in her mind but Miyu gave a nice answer to that idea
"It wouldn't be smart tho, besides you and me the other one that wants strength is Yuudai and I don't think splitting him from his brother and partner would be a good idea, for now let's just stick together" Said Miyu with a big smile
