The group continues up the staircase, until they reach a dead end. Cas mentions that there is another staircase, and leads them towards a deconstructed parking garage. As they rush through the door, four thugs notice them. There's a brief stand off before the thugs charge towards the group.
Dante takes up a defensive stance, sizing up one of the thugs. Shirou manages to slink away, taking cover behind some boxes. Willow sees Shirou choosing to save his own hide and leave the group short-handed.
"Thanks a lot, you frail coward!"
One of the thugs charges towards Willow and takes a swing. Willow manages to dodge back in time, then responds with a brutal right hook. Their holosuit starts to glitch in and out. Another thug comes up from behind and grabs onto Willow. The thug Willow hit connects with a stiff shot right to the ribs. Willow lifts her legs up and thrust kicks the thug, rotating backwards and knocking the thug holding her down. Willow's holosuit deactivates, revealing the Worm King's Rookie form.
"Ahh, my sexy costume! That's it!"
As the two thugs get up and approach Wormmon, the Rookie shoots out a net made of silk, trapping the two goons momentarily. Hopefully Cas won't notice Wormmon, or they might have some explaining to do, not knowing if Cas is familiar with Digital Monsters.
Dante squares off with one of the guards. The thug throws a few punches, but Dante hold up his arms and takes a few shots to his forearms. Dante dodges to the side and attacks with a quick kick to the side, then when the thugs leans forward, Dante lands a front kick, connecting with their jaw. The thug staggers back a few steps, a little groggy from the kick.
Dante goes in for another attack, but the thug connects with a quick jab, socking Dante in the face. Dante's defenses go down, and the thug grabs him by the collar of his jacket. Dante sticks his arms in between his attacker's wrists, then wraps his hands behind the thug's neck and pushes his head down. Dante raises up his knee, smashing the thug right in the nose. Dante grabs him by the head and slams him face first down into an old broken down automobile. The thug's head bounces off the hood and falls to the ground.
Wormmon's Sticky Net doesn't last for long, as the thugs start to break it apart. Dante and Wormmon take a few steps back, standing close to Shirou. All of a sudden, the floor starts to shake. There's an explosion that blasts through the wall to their left. As the dust settles, the scaly sea serpent Seadramon slithers out, making a high-pitched shriek.
"Seadramon?! You should know better than to work with criminals."
Seadramon raises his head up, stretching his long neck out. The sea monster breathes out a chilling mist, causing ice to form and fly towards the group. Dante reaches down and grabs onto Wormmon, then dives towards Shirou and takes cover. The ice blast smashes into a pillar, freezing the area nearby.
"We need to get out of here, quick!"

A Doctor, not a fighter while Cas is handy with her fists she circumvents the fight taking out one of the thugs legs as she dives between them sending him smashing to the ground on his face as she leaps upon his back. Gripping the mane like hair of the mask she lifts the thugs head up before bashing it down into the concrete as the man goes lax beneath her. Leaving Cas an opening to run as she makes for the far door to try to secure their exit.
Skidding across the wet concrete she reaches it and yanks dragging the heavy metal door open as she turns to call out to the others only for her eyes to widen at the sight. Where 'Willow' had once been was now a Wormmon, but Cas only has a second to think upon the change before the floor starts to shake. Losing her foot she falls her eyes being drawn to the ceiling at the ominous creak and screech of metal above her and it's only by the mint of luck that she scrambles backwards into the stairwell before a chunk of concrete the size of an SUV slams into the ground where she had been prior blocking the door. Straining to see around the hunk of rock and rebar she yells.
"Go for the other stairs! Hurry! This place won't hold for long!" She screams as loud as she can hoping her words will reach the trio. Realizing there's little she can do for them now she turns.
"I'm going to go get help!" She calls out and with reluctance turns to make her way up the metal stair case.

There was no rest for the group, as these thugs would stop at nothing to stop them from leaving. It might even be too late for them to buy their freedom, now that they have escaped from the cell. Cas makes her way to the door, but a large chunk of metal crashes down from above, blocking the exit and separating Cas from the rest of the group. Dante looks around for the other exit Cas mentioned. With Wormmon under his arm, Dante grabs Shirou by the arm and starts running towards the exit.
Seadramon pursues the trio, weaving in between the pillars. The sea monster breaths out more icy mist, this time freezing the water on the ground. The floor turns to ice underneath them, and the three of them are sent sliding across the floor. When they reach the wall, they manage to get up and head out the door, but Seadramon chases after them.
"Come on, up the staircase!"
Meanwhile, Cas finds herself alone. There was no going back the way she had came. However, a certain thief is waiting for her just up ahead. Cassius stands in a small, dimly lit room, facing the door that leads downstairs. He doesn't know that Cas is alone, but it would only play into his hand.
Dante, Shirou, and Wormmon find themselves rushing up a staircase, but Seadramon is hot on their tails. The sea serpent lets out a terrifying shriek, echoing through the stairwell. As water continues to reign down from the sprinklers, Seadramon freezes the water in the stairwell, creating a barrier of icicles blocking the path.
"Damn, we're trapped!" "Remind me why we went looking for trouble again." "Well it's not like I could have predicted getting jumped like that." "I'm going to make these jerks pay! The Worm King will not stand for this!"

Carefully Cas winds her way up the staircase. By this point her calves are burning with the exertion and though she tries to be quick on her feet she's tiring from the constant fighting and running. While by no means out of shape she'd had a hard day before she'd been nabbed and left to spend the night in a hard concrete cell and she can feel that her bruises have bruises. Only the sense of urgency of rescuing the others keeps her going even as her chest rises and falls in harsh pants as she tries to catch her breath.
It's only when she reaches the top that she lets herself sag against the door slightly in relief before she peers through the clouded glass window her eyes narrowed at the darkened room before her. She can only see the small slit of light at the end where the garage door doesn't quite meet the floor and where sunlight leaks around the boards covered the side door besides it.
Deciding to take her chances she fingers the scalpels up her sleeves as carefully, quietly pries the door open just enough to let her slip through. Easing the door closed behind her so as to not cause any noise and alert anymore thugs to her presence as she creeps forward into the dark. Giving her eyes precious moments to adjust. Precious moments she doesn't know she doesn't have.

Cas has almost escaped from this nightmare, as she can see the daylight piercing in to this hellhole. As she creeps through the doorway, Cassius sees her and his eyes open wide. He stands there with his arms crossed, still unnoticed for the moment. He lets out a sinister cackle, alerting Cas to his presence.
"Ah haha ha ha!... So, I get the doctor all to myself. I was hoping to face Shirou, but subduing you and dragging you back to your cell should be more than worthwhile."
Cassius takes a few steps forward, glaring down at the woman. He licks his lips, and put his hands on his hips.
"Don't make this any harder on yourself than it has to be, got it?"
Meanwhile, the trio find themselves cornered in the stairwell. With Seadramon in pursuit of them, it was time for Wormmon to fight back. The Worm King makes a cocoon out of silk thread, and Digivolves to Stingmon, the self proclaimed King of Sting, the sexy green fighting machine.
"Ho yeah! Looks like seafood's on the menu, you guys!"
Stingmon charges up his energy and lunges towards Seadramon. He grabs onto the sea serpent and thrusts his energy spike into his neck, using his Spiking Strike move. Seadramon thrashes about, trying to shake Stingmon loose. Dante slams the heel of his foot against one of the icicles and breaks it off. He picks up the icicle and thrusts it into Seadramon's lower neck. The icicle pierces through Seadramon's scales, as the Champion level cries out in pain. Dante heads back to the wall of icicles, and he and Shirou slide through the opening and continue on up the staircase.
"It shouldn't be much farther now, keep on running."
Seadramon flails about, slamming Stingmon into the wall. Stingmon lets go and falls down a flight of stairs.
"You overgrown eel... I'll end your crime spree once and for all!"
Stingmon flies towards Seadramon, tackling him and sending them both falling over the edge. They are sent falling down the stairwell, until crashing into a flight of stairs. Seadramon grabs Stingmon with their fangs, and bites down, tossing the King of Sting around in its mouth before throwing them towards a wall. The sea monster slithers up after Dante and Shirou.

Cas stills at the sound of Cassius's chuckle. The noises echoing eeriely in the room, but the look upon the Doctor's face is one of irritation rather then fear as her eyes adjust as she can pick out his form in the near darkness. "That~" She murmurs straightening from her slight creeping crouch to her full meager height as she turns to face him. "Is my line." She spoke voice cold, all hints of timidity she had faked before melting away as she pins him with those cold hard blue eyes of her like flecks of ice drilling into her skin.
"The only person dragging anyone here will be me and I'll be dragging you to hell if you take one more step." The woman threatens her fingers curling into harsh fists a Cas silently wishes she had kept the chain from before rather then leaving it around the neck of a thug below. She is though thankfully not as helpless as she looks, but that doesn't stop her from baring her neat, sharp, white teeth, in a silent snarl at the man stalking towards her.

Cassius sneers at the Doctor, startled that her demeanor has changed from before. Cas is standing up to the thug, even though her body is exhausted and Cassius has at least a foot on her. The smooth criminal isn't happy Cas won't go willingly. He clicks his tongue off the roof of his mouth and shakes his head, showing his disapproval.
"Very well. Maybe someday you'll learn what's best for you."
Cassius raises his palm and goes to smack Cas in the face with the back of his hand. He wasn't going to hold anything back, even with their difference in size. What he didn't realize is he was about to write a check his butt didn't want to cash, as the Doctor isn't the sheep she often appeared to be.
Dante and Shirou continue running up the stairwell. Seadramon slithers up after them, raising his head up and locking eyes with the duo. Dante pauses, and slowly takes a couple steps back. Seadramon starts to build up energy.
"Shirou, get down!"
Dante leaps backwards, landing at the bottom of the staircase and rolling on the ground. Shirou looks side to side for a way to escape, but there is nowhere to go. Seadramon creates three ice spears in the air, and sends them flying towards the pale computer genius. Shirou goes to dodge, but one of the ice spears pierces Shirou in his torso, right above his heart. Shirou's eyes roll back in his head and he collapses to the ground.
"Shirou, noooo!!!"
Seadramon lets out a low rumble, as water continues to fall from the ceiling. The sea monster stares down at Dante, preparing another attack. Stingmon flies up the stairwell and grabs Seadramon by the tail.
"See you later, fish for brains!"
Stingmon tugs on Seadramon's tail, causing them both to fall down the stairwell. Only this time, Stingmon flies underneath a railing, lodging Seadramon's tail in between the bars. Seadramon trashes about, letting out an ear-piercing shriek, as the room shakes. Stingmon pounds on one of the bars with his fists, bending it inward and pinning Seadramon in place.

Cas eyes narrow into dangerous slits as Cassius steps forward the thug reeking of disdain and overconfidence. The Doctor though is having none of it as she subtly boxes her stance her snarl turning into a sneer of teeth as the the man looms over her broadcasting his strike as clear as day.
"And perhaps you'll learn that a wolf in sheeps clothing is more than a warning." She growls out dropping low under his backhand as she lashes out hooking her foot around the back of his leg even as she slams her left fist with everything she's into his sternum aiming for a harsh kidney punch and hoping to knock the air out of the smug S.O.B and send him toppling on his ass while she's at it. If he goes down she won't waste her breath waiting for him to recover. Instead the tiny woman would dive for him aiming to ram a knee into the man's face fully intent on doing as much damage as she can while she has the element of surprise unlike himself.
For while she might be a spitfire Cas knows her strength is fading and a prolonged fight will not end in her favor. She doesn't have the time or energy to toy with her enemy unlike Cassius.

To Cassius' surprise, the Doctor was having none of it. She dodges his backhand, then sweeps his legs and drills him right in the kidneys. Cassius stumbles backwards, landing on his butt. Cas pounces on him and goes for a stiff knee to the head, but Cassius rolls to the side. He grabs Cas by the arm and her throat and slams her down on the ground. The master thief climbs on top of her, his thighs on either side of her waist. Most of his weight is pushing down on her midsection.
Cassius grabs Cas by the wrists, holding her hands above her head. He holds her arms down with one hand, then slaps Cas in the face with his palm. Cassius takes a moment to revel in sadistic pleasure, enjoying seeing the light in her eyes extinguish as he toys with his prey, believing her to be helpless. Cassius rubs his hand down her face, pausing when he gets to her scar. The thief smirks, then his brow tightens and his smirk turns into a sneer of bloodlust. Cassius grabs Cas by the throat, squeezing so tight that his fingernails pierce the skin, drawing blood.
"And they say I'm overconfident. You should have played ball. Any beast, no matter how intelligent, knows when to submit."
Cassius leans forward and headbutts Cas, their foreheads colliding. He tightens his grip, and licks his lips.
"You're lucky I am a man of certain standards. Otherwise I would have a little fun before I drag you back." _________________
Back at the stairwell, Dante checks on Shirou. He is bleeding out of his chest and his back. Dante grabs onto the ice spear sticking out of his chest.
"This is going to hurt..."
Dante tightens his grip on the icicle, the warmth of his hands slowly melting into the ice. He yanks on the spear, as Shirou's screams echo throughout the stairwell.
"ARRGghaHAAAaaah, Yee-ah-haaaaooow!..."
Dante pulls the ice spear out of Shirou's chest, as the blood drips down Dante's hands.
"Come on, climb onto my back. We'll get you out of here."
Dante helps Shirou climb onto his back, then starts trudging up the staircase. After a few flights, Dante collapses forward, dragging himself up the stairs with his hands and feet.

She feels her back hit the floor first followed by her head as his hands tighten around her left wrist and throat slamming her skull back into the concrete as Cas see's stars. Stunning the Doctor long enough for him to close his fingers around both her wrists, but the grip on her throat never lets up as she feels his weight settle over her pinning her down even as she writhes beneath him teeth bared in a silent snarl like a rabid animal. Then the pressure on her throat is gone leaving her gasping for breath only to be followed by a harsh slap that reopens the split of her lip dying the full cupids bow of her mouth red as the deepest rouge.
Even in the dark though her sharp blue eyes manage to find his own her blue clashing against the thief's green. Green eyed monster she thinks as she feels his fingers tracing the scar under her left eye the touch as soft as a lovers might be as she sneers at him the fire refusing to die out of her eyes. Her fury ever burning even as his hand closes around her throat once more and squeezes till she can feel the imprint of his every finger on her skin and the half-moon curves of his nails digging into the side of her throat.
For a moment she's unsure if he hates her defiance or if it just turns him on as she watches a smirk curl the edges of his mouth. She doesn't however, have enough time to ponder this question as he lunges forward smashing his forehead into her own in a headbutt that leaves her vision blackening on the edges as something snaps inside Cas's mind and she goes cold.
A man of standards he calls himself, but she is Cassandra named for the thrice damned prophetess who defied the gods themselves and though cursed she will be dead before she bows to the likes of him. He will not touch her not because she has Cloak and Dagger, not because she knows sooner or later Dante and the others would reach them. No he will not touch her because Cas will not let him. He hasn't the balls and she aims to prove it to him as she rips her right hand from his grip her eyes cool and calculating as she flicks the scalpel between her fingers in reverse and back hands him hard across the right side of his face splitting to flesh there from mid cheek to the corner of his mouth in a mockery of a half smile. Ignoring the warm splatter of his blood over her own skin she feel for a split second his hands loosen about her wrist and neck as the pain sets in. She is however, vengeance incarnate and Cas is not done yet as she rams her leg up planting her knee beneath his belt as she hears his breath give in a woosh of pain as the man tilts sideways. Rolling her weight the Doctor slams him to the ground as the thief's back hits the concrete with Cas astride him in a mockery of their previous positions. Pinning his wrists the woman leans low their faces so close she can pick out the tiny flecks of gold in his teal green eyes as her blonde hair forms a curtaining halo around her face smelling vaguely of honeysuckle as she smiles.
It is not a friendly smile more teeth then warmth and twice as sharp. His blood standing out bright in a splash of red across her cheek and the bridge of her nose like warpaint upon her pale skin. "You~" She snarls with a vicious little twist of those red red lips of hers. "Talk entirely too much." She observed her voice low and sultry and as dangerous as a drawn blade. Red looks good on her.

The tables had turned for the master thief. Cas shakes her right arm loose, then slashes Cassius across the cheek with a scalpel. His blood drips down from the cut, splashing off of Cas' face. If that wasn't bad enough, she rings his chapel bells, knocking the wind out of him. As Cassius sucks in air, Cas reverses their positions, and Cassius feels his back slam against the ground. Their roles reversed, Cassius is at the mercy of a woman he just victimized and abused.
Cassius' eyes appear dead eyed, his mouth wide open as he gasps for air. He doesn't know which is hurting more, his body, or his pride. He doesn't even try to struggle, still in shock and just submitting to her whim. Part of him wonders if the Doctor will kill him for what he did, as he wonders if this is the last moment of his life. He tries to push the thought out of his mind, as his heart races and blood drips down into his mouth.
"Ah, ha, ha... You crazy bitch."
Probably not best to antagonize someone holding your fate in her hand, but he didn't care. Accepting what he believes to be his fate, his body relaxes, his head leans back, and his eyes shut. He takes a deep breath, then opens his eyes and stares up at Cassandra. He manages to flash a coy smirk, as if he found some pleasure. This encounter would likely leave him psychologically scared, his pride wounded. _______________
Dante continues up the staircase with Shirou on his back. Stingmon flies up the stairwell towards the top. Still stuck, Seadramon cries out in frustration. The sea serpent breathes out an intensely cold mist, causing the water coming out of the sprinklers to turn to hail. The hail reigns down on Dante and Shirou, yet still he continues onward. Stingmon is also caught in the hailstorm, but manages to reach the top floor. Stingmon turns around and points his energy cannon down, firing a massive Moon Cannon down towards a staircase. The energy attack demolishes the staircase, causing debris to reign down upon Seadramon, burying the sea monster at the base of the stairwell.
Finally, Dante reaches the top floor and sees the exit. Stingmon kicks the door open, and they continue on into the next room.

"Says the man flat on his back like a kicked dog." She quips intent to leave Cassius with naught a shred of pride to cling to as her lips quirk into a snarl at the way his eyes go dead and his body relaxes beneath her. His head lolling back baring the pale skin of his throat and for a moment Cas wonders what it would be like to sink her teeth into the delicate flesh there. She doesn't want his passivity and finds herself wondering how he survived so long on the streets if he would show his stomach the first time he was bested and roll over or if he was just this way with her.
"You disappoint me~" She spits out the words curling over her tongue like acid as she shoves herself off him and manages to stand despite her swimming vision. Glaring down at him her gaze fierce and regal she fishes the digivice from where she'd hidden it inside her shirt. Fingering a familiar and much beloved card she draws it from where she'd tucked it against her heart and pulls it through the card reader in a shower of sparks uncaring if the beaten man sees or knows just who or what she is.
Her fury is the sweetest of siren songs to the likes of Behemoth as the demonic bike rises from the shadows answering her call like an old friend it's lights illuminating the room in a shade of crimson red as Cas steps astride it. Running a loving hand down the metal casing of the bike the metallic monster purrs as Cas tosses Cassius one last glare before the woman grasps the handles and leans into the machine. The bike blows through the garage door like it's tissue paper tearing down the streets in a scream of rubber and steel leaving it's tail lights the last the thief sees of the Doctor.
The further they get from the thug's base the more Cas sags against the bike her eyes closing in exhaustion and relief as she feels the rumble of it's engine soothing away her fears. Behemoth knows the way like it knows the fire in her veins and the cut of her smile and closing her eyes Cas trusts the bike to carry her battered body home. It is strange having this trust placed in it, but Behemoth does not disappoint as the demonic bikes engine quiets into a low rumble as it slows and turns into the familiar alley beside the Doctor's home. It stops at the gate of her back yard as Cloak and Dagger rush out their face tight with worry as the rookies pull the exhausted woman from Behemoth's seat the bike letting out a roared protest, but quieting at the surprising and soft spoke thanks of the digimon for bringing it's mistress home. It wants to tell them that of course it brought her home, but it lacks the mouth to do so and settles for exuding a dark and affronted air until it feels blue eyes upon it.
Cas stands shakily, having to lean more on Cloak and Dagger then she'd like as she strokes her fingers over Behemoth's chassis with a soft smile. "Good boy." She half murmurs half slurs in exhaustion as the bike follows the pair in through the back gate, Dagger circling around to close it behind them as he eyes Behemoth curiously before the pair help Cas in through the door. The Demonic bike climbs the ramp and settles itself beneath the back porch to wait. It is not yet due back and Cas might need it yet again once her injuries are tended too.

Cas' words pierce the thief's battered and bruised ego like a dagger. The image of Cas's glare was burned into Cassius' memory. To his surprise, the Doctor gets off of him, calls for a motorcycle, and rides out of the facility. Cassius is left laying there, a bit sad to see Cas go. There was no redeeming himself for being emasculated like this. Instead of getting up, Cassius just lays there. He lets out a long sigh, entering almost a tranquil state. It was everything he could do to escape his reality. He was humiliated, failed his mission, and left with a permanent reminder of the woman who held his life in her hands, and left him laying there like refuse. Finally, Cassius sits up, hunching forward and letting his shoulders slouch. He gazes off into the distanced, wide-eyed and dazed.
Finally, something inside Cassius snaps. He could take no more. He grabs his head in frustration, screaming at the top of his lungs. He turns over and starts bashing his fists on the ground, grunting louder with every blow. His hands start to bleed, as tears pour down his face. Cas had found him lacking, and now, he finds himself lacking.
"CURSE YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!... Ah ha, ah ha haha... Cassandra..."
Finally, some thugs come across the weeping thief. He tries to suck it up in front of the men. They escort him back to his superiors to answer for his failure. __________________
As Dante walks into the next room, he sees several thugs lined up on the other side. They are in what appears to be a remodeled furnace room, with a high ceiling. At the top of the wall to the left is a large window. It might be their best chance of escape. Stingmon enters after Dante, while Shirou is still limp on Dante's back. The thugs turn their attention to the trio, pointing their guns at them. Stingmon steps in front of Dante, as the goons start firing. One of the bullets clips Dante, tearing a hole in his leather jacket but missing him. Stingmon is riddled with bullets, but it is going to take more than Human weapons to bring down a Digimon.
Stingmon notices a large gas powered heater next to the thugs. Stingmon charges up his cannon, and fires a Moon Cannon at the heater. The heating unit ignites in a large explosion, shooting out sparks as the blast knocks back the thugs. Stingmon grabs onto Dante and Shirou, flies into the air, then shatters through the window and heads outside.
The King of Sting lands on a nearby rooftop. The group has a moment to catch their breath, but there is still the matter of Shirou's injury.
"Well, remind me to not go looking for trouble any more. We need to get Shirou some medical attention." "What about that medic we heard about? Didn't they have a place in this area?" "You're right. I believe it's not far from here. Let's get back to the limo."

Cloak and Dagger lead Cas into the clinic the Digimon unsure if their Tamer can handle the stairs right now as woozy as she is and instead guide her to the waiting room couch. Dagger sits with her leaning into her side as a constant physical comfort as Cloak though highly reluctant to leave her rushes off to fetch the first aid kit, a mirror, and some wipes from where he remembers Cas keeping them.
Logically the Doctor knows she has a concussion. Technically though there's not jack and all she can do about it so when the Kotemon returns pulling out a wipe to wipe the blood from her face and dab lightly at her still sluggishly bleeding lip she leans gratefully into his touch. Letting her eyes slip closed as her digimon fuss over her and she tries to collect her thoughts.
"Who did this...?" Cloak asks his voice low and dangerous the most fury either Cas or Dagger have ever heard suffusing his words as the Doctor blinks taking a sharp intake of breath.
"I have to go back. There were others. I promised I'd get help." Cas gasped out trying to get to her feet, but Dagger pulls her down. It is a good thing he does too as her vision swims slightly from the rapid movement leaving her unsteady.
"No you need to rest and tell Cloak who did this to you." Dagger growls out, but his anger is not at the woman he carefully leans against to keep upright. No it is for whomever put her in this state much like his twin as the two share a glance a simple and silent agreement exchanged between them. Their Tamer would never go anywhere alone again. Not now. Not ever. Not after this.

Stingmon takes the two back to Shirou's limo. Keramon is delighted to see them returned, but shocked and concerned for his partner. Dante helps Shirou get into the back of the limo. Stingmon powers down and reverts back to Wormmon. Keramon searches for the clinic on the navigator, and takes off down the street. Shirou groans, then reaches over and sloppily hits the wine button, bringing out a bottle of wine with two glasses. Dante puts his hand in the way.
"No, I don't think you should have any wine right now." "Ooh, but I need it..."
As they are riding along, Dante has a moment to relax after a stressful ordeal. His adrenalin is still pumping, and he can't seem to calm down. Dante cracks a window, then lights up a cigarette. He watches the building as they pass by, still trying to wrap his head around what happened.
"Remind me to smack that jerk Cassius upside the head the next time we see him. I'm glad I totally kicked that stupid fish's tail in the stairwell. Left Seadramon trapped like a chump, haha ha ha!" "Right now, I'm hoping to never see Cassius, or that menacing ice serpent again."
After a short drive, they arrive outside of the clinic. Wormmon crawls inside Dante's red bag, and Dante carries Shirou on his back. Dante walks to the door and knocks four times. What Dante didn't expect was who runs the clinic. Hopefully they are not too late, and Shirou will recover. Though by the looks of it, he could be laid up for weeks until he gets better.
"Dante, you think we'll see that girl again? She was kind of sexy." "No, you're just delusional from the blood loss. I wouldn't say that she's that attractive or anything. I just hope she made it out okay. I didn't see Cassius anywhere when we escaped."
Hopefully Cas wouldn't overhear Dante, or he would have egg on his face.
"I don't know, Dante. If I was alone in a hot tub with Cas, I'd be okay with that. Hee hee hee!" "Heh heh, heh heh." "Even near death, your head is still in the gutter."
