"Who said anything about it being an excuse, Pinky?" the Grademon coldly asked Brad as it got closer. "You don't seem to know the full story, do you?"
"Brad, you need to stand down now..." Shoutmon says, with fear in his eyes.
"Shoutmon, what are you talking about?" Adrian asked his partner.
"That's one of RedMagnamon's henchmen. His right hand 'mon."
Adrian's eyes widened as he said that. "What?! Are you sure about this?!!"
"Positive," he said vaguely, not revealing what he himself knew.
"Why would that creep want you?! It doesn't make any sense..." Adrian then looked up at Brad and Grademon.
"If I really wanted to, I could kill you right now, Kyukimon... and in fact, I do want to. If you don't hand over the Shoutmon, not ONLY will I kill you, but the rest of us will kill everyone you ever cared about. And we WILL find them. We're EVERYWHERE." It was clear by this point that Grademon wasn't just some thug... he meant business.

Brad did not stand down, even when Shoutmon told him to. "No, Shoutmon, I will not. You are a partnered digimon, just like me. You belong with Adrian, not with this violent fiend".
The Kyukimon's lips curled a little into a smile as Grademon dropped the civility and just started outright making threats. "Well when you put it like that, that makes it seem perfectly reasonable" he said. Nik stared at him with a curious expression, it seemed Brad's snark had evolved too.
"Nonetheless, it would be unwise to say words like that lightly. If this RedMagnamon wants war with all of KIZNA AND the 7/71st Recon then he can have one. There is enough horror and injustice in this world as it is, and you attacking me and kidnapping a digimon under my care is unacceptable". The smile faded in response to the last sentence.
"And if you do hurt those I care about, there will be no word to describe the pain I'll do to you" he spoke these words so icily that a chill went up Nik's spine. "Nik, take cover, and call others for help on your D-Terminal. Adrian, take Shoutmon and leave. Run away, and hide. I'll stop him following you".

"The 7/71st Recon?" Grademon asked, before breaking out into a fit of laughter. "Don't make me laugh... the 7/71st are just a bunch of wannabe soldiers that couldn't even save themselves from getting deleted."
"Brad, he's going to delete you," Shoutmon tried to warn Brad. "He won't stop until you're dead! And he's more experienced!"
"How do you know this?" Adrian asked Shoutmon suspiciously.
Grademon interrupted Adrian and Shoutmon's discussion. "It's truly funny how you haven't put the pieces together yet... except for Shoutmon, of course." If it was visible, Grademon would be smiling evily right now. "I expected nothing less... from my Master."
Adrian's eyes widened at that revelation. "You're lying!
"Oh, how you wish I was, don't you? But it's all true... your Shoutmon is my Master, who gave special instructions before he was deleted himself. If it's not today that my duty is fulfilled, then it WILL be tomorrow. We will not stop scouting for you, Shoutmon."

Brad smirked again. "You might be comfortable telling yourself that, but, if you truly knew who we were, you'd know that was a lie". Yes, the 7/71st had been wiped out, but Brad was certain that all of them had taken out over a dozen of their enemies each before they went down. The destruction of so many digimon that day had caused the air to be thick with disintegrated data. They might have been wiped out, but by the time that battle was over, there was no digimon left to absorb any of it, hence why they were now back.
Shoutmon seemed doubtful about Brad's chances. But the Kyukimon disregarded this warning. "I wasn't born yesterday, Shoutmon, I happen to remember how to fight". And he had trained with the best back in his day. Yes that day was hundreds of years ago, but here he was again, fresh with relative youth and a new life to experience.
So, it seemed that Shoutmon was in fact this RedMagnamon. The pieces fell into place with Brad. Not taking his eyes off Grademon, he spoke. "I see, so that's the reason you were being tormented by your memories" he said. It seemed Shoutmon had once been a bad digimon, but now, he had been reconfigured to be good. "There's a flaw in your plan, Grademon... you take Shoutmon away from Adrian, you won't get RedMagnamon back. He cannot digivolve without his partner".

Now it was Grademon's turn to smirk at Brad. "Please... you lot are truly pathetic. I'll kill you all, and take the prize for myself. And if I can't, there'll be hundreds of others who WILL take my place. You cannot escape."
"WILL YOU JUST DO SOMETHING BESIDES TALK?!" Shoutmon yells out of anger.
"As you wish, Master," Grademon says, fake-bowing to Shoutmon.
"Don't call me that ever again."
Then Brad acted all cocky, saying that there was a big flaw in RedMagnamon's plan, since Adrian was the one who could Digivolve Shoutmon. This caused Grademon to start laughing manically. "I'm afraid that's not how it works, baka... RedMagnamon's memories are in there, but they're so dormant to the point where the Digimon itself is useless. For what WE'RE planning, the human there can live or die, with no consequence to us... speaking of dying-!"
Suddenly, Grademon appeared in front of Brad at high speeds, and slashed at him crosswise with both swords at full power. "CROSS BLADE!"

As words turned to actions, Brad's demeanor changed. Grademon came at him directly, but he was ready. The Kyukimon tracked the movement of the swords, then raised his scythes to counteract them. What happened next was too fast for Nik to track properly.
First, Brad's scythes parried the blades with two loud clashes of steel on steel. Then, the Kyukimon proceeded to dance around the Grademon, using his own momentum against him. As Grademon's inertia would have kept him going from the lunge, Brad's blades whistled as he rushed to a counter-attack.
"Trinary Star!" he snarled, and the blades glowed white with energy, he slashed the back of Grademon's legs where he guessed the armor would be less strong. If successful, the attack would render Grademon unable to move temporarily.
"I said run, Shoutmon!" he repeated to the red and white dragon. "Go now!"
Brad parries Grademon's attack and launches it into his own counter-attack with Trinary Star.
Trinary Star - A combination attack with his scythes that both deals damage and immobilizes the opponent for 1 turn if they have used a melee attack on Kyukimon in the turn before this attack. [Cooldown: 1 post]

Grademon had to admit, he didn't see the attack from the Kyukimon coming. As soon as he initiated his Cross Blade attack, Brad used his scythes to counter them, causing a loud clash sound. Not only that, but Brad had prepared another counter attack, which caused his scythes to glow white.
However, Grademon was also quick, and he managed to just BARELY avoid having his legs make contact with the blades. He looked up at Kyukimon and smirked. "Impressive... you would have got me, if I weren't faster than you..." He then suddenly vanished, appearing behind Brad at blazing speeds to attack him from behind with another Cross Blade.
Brad then told Shoutmon to run away as fast as he could, which Shoutmon took issue to. "I'm not running! I want to stay here and help!"
Meanwhile, during the fight, Adrian had got out his D-Terminal and sent a message to anyone he could. "MAYDAY MAYDAY! There is a fight on the streets of Terminus, I repeat, a fight on the streets of Terminus, we need backup, I REPEAT, WE NEED BACKUP!"

Grademon claimed to be faster than Brad. While this was a statement that could be true, it was not yet proven. As Grademon tried to jump behind him to attack, the Kyukimon knew exactly what to do. He rotated his body 180 degrees, both blades outstretched, then, he turned to swipe at Grademon, up high and below.
Yes he was left open himself for attack, and since he was unarmored that may be a mistake, but, if Grademon struck him, he would be struck back.
Nik meanwhile wished someone would appear. He hadn't got any replies on his D-Terminal. Then again, who could help? He didn't know many others who could evolve that much. And Owen would be unlikely to come too since he was back in Whitewater. Perhaps Toki? Or someone else in KIZNA?
And it seemed Shoutmon would not be running away. Damn it, what was he thinking? "If you're going to help, then help!" Nik told Shoutmon.
Brad counter-attacks by turning around to slash at Grademon with Data Reaper. He is struck by Cross Blade if it hits.
Data Reaper - Slashes at his foe with his scythes. If they are hit by this attack a second time, it will deal 30% more damage. This counter resets if this effect is triggered. (ie: 0%, 30%, 0%, 30%, etc)

Grademon WAS pretty fast. While Kyukimon tried to swipe at Grademon, only one of those attacks hit, although he did manage to block the other slashing blade.
"Ooh, it's going to be so fun to delete you..." Grademon growled at Brad before he began slashing at the Kyukimon himself, which he expected the Digimon to block with his own blades. If both were successfully blocked, he would then thrust his right blade right into Kyukimon's chest. If that chest attack hits, it would send Brad right into a building, creating a huge crashing sound that could be heard from a few blocks away.
"Aren't there cops in Terminus?!" Adrian asks, observing this battle go down. Shoutmon looked absolutely horrible, not truly knowing how to react to this whole thing, and it was obvious by the way he looked at Adrian and Nik.
"This needs to stop! No one deserves to die tonight-"
"Is dat whatchu tink?" A sudden voice asked the group on the ground, a giant sword stabbed into the ground around them.
"Run, and you die. Scream, and you die. If dat Kyukimon comes for ya's... you die." The Knightmon had threatened.

Sometimes, life throws curveballs at people. Throws them for a whirl. When people are in danger, it's the right thing to do to get them out of danger.
After all, that's what being a hero is, ain't it?
Coolmon heard there was a fight going on, and rather than be sensible and stay out of it? The Cutemon had decided to go check it out.
What she wasn't expecting was what appeared to be a hostage situation. Two people with a Knightmon threatening their lives whilst a Kyukimon dueled with a Grademon.
And nobody seemed to be coming for the former party.
Coolmon decided to emerge from the alley she was in and jump to her highest form. Warp digivolving! Her form was enveloped in a bright light as the Cutemon warp digivolved to Antylamon, not daring to give away her presence. But. Knightmon had something coming.
"BAO FU!" Antylamon leapt towards Knightmon, swinging her arms towards the armored knight...As her forearms turned into axes. She wasn't quite sure if she could make much a dent? But...Someone had to help these people.
Screw passives for now. Coolmon comes to check what's going on, finds a fight and a hostage situation in her eyes and decides to warp digivolve to deal with it.
Bao Fu - Treasure Axes: Antylamon converts the data in her hands into that of axes and attempts to slice her opponent up! They’re just slices. Don’t really do much aside from chop chop.

Brad felt the blade hit him and boy did it sting! Data immediately began to seep from the wound that it had caused on his unarmored hide. At least he had got one hit in return though. That was what he had planned after all, it seemed to win this he had to play the long game. And seeing as Shoutmon was stubbornly refusing to go or assist, well, nothing else for it.
But he wasn't going to fall for Grademon's combo, now was the moment to disengage. Brad immediately leapt backward, retreating thirty feet, out of the way of Grademon's reach, so he hoped. Once again, his blades glowed with energy, and with a shout of "Double Crescent Blade!" he sent another two homing blades of energy at the gold armored warrior, that seemed to be effective.
Only it seemed they were now joined by yet another digimon. A Knightmon. Brad's eyes widened. He couldn't fight two enemy Perfect levels at once! Damn it, the Grademon wasn't kidding when he said there was more out there.
But, suddenly, an Antylamon came to the rescue. Nik and Brad made relieved smiles at the arrival of this good samaritan. Brad panted a little, flinching from the sting of his wound. But still, that was just one hit, it would take more than that to get him to back down.
"Thank you, Antylamon!" Nik called. "These two here, they're trying to kidnap this Shoutmon!" he pointed at Grademon and Knightmon.

"That wound won't be the end of it..." Grademon taunted Brad. "More and more gashes will appear on your body... before the final one across your neck." That was when the Kyukimon seemingly disengaged, and sent another attack at Grademon, a Double Crescent Blade. At first, the two blades of energy seemed to make contact, as they both blew upon impact.
But when the dust cleared, Grademon flew right at Brad. Grademon had attempted to use his swords to cause the homing attacks to hit early, and while it did damage him, it didn't damage him nearly as much as if he let them hit him. Before Brad could say "what the heck?" however, Grademon then appeared right in front of the Kyukimon, and attempts to thrust BOTH of his blades right into Kyukimon. If Brad was not clever, those swords would go right through him. If he was, he'd find that Grademon was now vulnerable to attack, if he managed to dodge.
Knightmon chuckled, thinking he had these hostages to himself. However, before he realized it, he was hit by what seemed to be TWO axes. While they didn't dent his armor, they did cause him to lose his footing. Shoutmon saw this as an opportunity to help out, as he summoned his microphone and ran towards the Knightmon.
Wait... what was going on? Shoutmon wanted to hit him... but something was holding him back! "Why... Why can't I HIT YOU?!!!"
Knightmon chuckled deeply. "'Tis cuz you truly are ar mastah..."

Coolmon was hoping the hostages used the opportunity to escape the reach of the Knightmon's greatsword. And it just hit her then how...
...Well, not how but...What had she stumbled into? "If he's your master, then why are you attacking his alies? Pretty paltry if you ask me." That was genuinely the best snark she could come up with. Coolmon raised her axe-arms up at Knightmon, preparing for whatever he was about to throw at her.
And the rabbit glanced to Shoutmon. Can't hit him? Weird. Then she looked back to Knightmon.
"My name is Coolmon. En garde, knight."

Brad braced as he watched the trajectory of the blades of energy that he had launched. Grademon appeared to slash them both just before they made contact, lessening the damage, but the blow was made clear. Then, rather abruptly, Grademon launched himself straight at him, both swords pointed at the Kyukimon like a charging bull. Whatever initial panic Brad might have had from this was promptly stifled by his instincts as a soldier. Even though two weapons were aimed at him, he knew that a sword held in one hand was half as strong as one held in both hands. And so he instinctively recalled the defense to a charge like this. Sidestep, then parry. But from the speed that Grademon was coming at him, this would be a very narrow thing indeed. Brad lunged to the right, assuming Grademon's left arm would be easier to parry out of the way. With that, Brad slammed both of his scythes downward on Grademon's outstretched blade, using the leverage to both push himself out of the way and push Grademon away from counterattacking range. Since Brad had to use both of his blades to dodge, he wasn't able to counter-attack Grademon with them, but, with his lithe agility, he swung his feet around and aimed to kick Grademon's back or even his head before pulling back once more. By now Brad was fully aware of just how hard Grademon was fighting. This... confused him. Why was he fighting so hard? "Grademon, why are you doing things this way?" he asked. "Sneak attacks, threats, all-out fighting... I don't understand, you know even if you do defeat me you'll soon have the whole digital world fighting you. And for what purpose? To carry out the orders of a digimon that doesn't even remember you? Are you truly this far lost?"If he was, Brad was beginning to get the feeling he would not be able to best him alone. Grademon was fighting with such intensity, with such lack of self restraint, the Kyukimon was unsure for how long he could keep up the resistance.
Brad uses all his strength to sidestep and parry Grademon's attack, but is forced to give up this turn's attack to do so. He instead launches a basic attack in the form of a kick to push him away.

The move almost seemed perfect. Almost. However, Grademon would soon be reminded that life doesn't always go your way. The Kyukimon immediately dodged his lunging attack, then kicked him in the back, causing Grademon to crash onto the streets below. Grademon got up, staring at the Kyukimon.
"I have orders, Kyukimon. Orders that neither you or your friends can possibly comprehend. Our master WILL remember, I can assure you of THAT! And when we're done, the human race will soon face extinction." Grademon turned his head towards Adrian and Shoutmon. "Now... to get what I CAME FOR!"
"Shoutmon, you think you can take him?" Adrian asked his partner.
"I don't think so... I wasn't even able to attack the Knight-Doofus over there, like something was mentally stopping me from doing so. I think it's the same story with that guy."
"Shit... so we're sitting ducks here. Come on, we have to run!"
Meanwhile, Knightmon was still dealing with this "Coolmon" fellow. "En Garde!" Knightmon yelled, before swinging his now flaming sword right at Coolmon.
