A Dark Intent [Team Mission]

How long had it been since she and her husband spoke? A week at best? With the information and rest that she had been given by the wisemon she was now fully aware of where the library; great and mobile as it was. Would be; or at least where it could or should be.

A huge question she had posed to herself is what she could do with the power she had to make this move smoothly? Focus on the forms she had; push them to their limits. To her limits; push them more and more? Or find a new way to use the data that K would't of normally? Well the answer to her was obvious; the dark twisted data that Tawna was responsible for implanting in her by mistake would do nicely. No one would know how to deal with a new form born out of the darkness of this mark.

The fallen angel slammed down near the entry of the great library with a snarl on her face. It had taken too long for her to find this place; too long of her scurrying about the digital core scaring those that had nothing to do with this as the mega flew across the sky.

There was a few moments that she took in this great moving library; that she marveled at it's structure. It's ingenuity; those within it would absolutely be the sort to of called it home. They would want knowledge to be as mobile as they; as safe as they. But what would they do when that safety itself was threatened?

Well she was about to find out.

The raguelmon calmly reached up to the door; looking it over. Appraising it; considering it for a few long moments... Before planting her foot directly against it with as much force as she could muster. Clearly kicking it off of the hinges while following through the door frame dragging her claws along the wooden frame. A single word was bellowed from her feline esq mouth.

"MIKEMON"

---

A challenger appears!

The Great Moving Library, usually so full of life and activity, this time was almost devoid of any sounds other than the low humming from some electrical engines powering the place. Most of it's members, including the ones that spent nearly all day inside it were absent, staying away from what would surely soon would become the ground zero for something dangerous.

The arrival of K.

Seeing how most of the members had taken some injuries from the whole Northen Province incident it was only logical for those unfit to fight to leave and let the ones still in conditions handle this mess.

If that was the case though, then what was Carlos still doing there? After all, despite Mikemon's good work his back wounds received during the past expedition had not completely healed yet, though at the very least he wouldn't be bleeding all over the place anymore. Even Dio, who was now back to tip top condition despite the damage sustained seemed somewhat out of it, though that could have easily been either exhaustion or stress. Maybe both.

After all neither of them could sleep, even if they wanted to. A mixture of anxiety and caffeine would prevent them from even closing their eyes, a weird self induced insomnia. So why were they here then? Simple camaraderie. This was something Mikemon just couldn't face on his own, and Carlos wouldn't dare simply standing by his side while he let both him and the Library burn down to the ground, nor he would allow that lousy wizard (the same wizard that was partially responsible for Carlos' injuries) to take that poor Calumon away. Dio shared that sentiment, but he was motivated for something more...since their attacker would be none other than the digimon that had taught them so much, K. He wasn't quite sure how to feel about this whole situation, but he knew he had to stop her.

And as such they stood waiting patiently on one of the bedrooms, Dio pacing back and forth inside the room while Carlos sat by the bed, holding a small cup of coffee on the one hand, fiddling nervously with the digivice on the other.

However a loud smash coming from down the hallway startled them, Carlos practically jumping off the side of the bed and standing up, eyes widened. They shared a quick glance before sprinting out of the room. As it turned out, their suspicions were correct: something bad was quite literally knocking down their door.

Luckily they wouldn't find themselves alone once they reached the room: besides obviously Mikemon being here, there were a couple of somewhat new, yet familiar faces in there: Naoko Toriya, Haru's sister and her partner the tinkermon Titania. The five of them had actually worked together before hand, exploring the Sunken Elysium on one of the club's very first missions. But they couldn't focus on the good news for long, not with another strange, yet familiar face looming through the door. Had Mikemon not warned them before hand, they would have probably assumed this was just a henchmon of Wisemon...but they knew better.

Especially for Dio, who with just one look at that familiar blackened fur, those cross like eyes, that cat like creature...it all came back to him immediatelly. He had fought something like this before...he had almost died because of it.

And both then and now, despite the forms being different, he knew for a fact he was looking at the same creature as that time. And that thought on its own was enough to send shivers down his spine, the usually cocky imp looking genuenly frightened for a second. He had faced that monster before...and did not wish to do so ever again.

"K..." Despite the cold and forced lack of emotion in his tone, that was not enough to mask his sadness nor his fear. Was he really fated to keep fighting his Teacher like this over and over?

Though this fear didn't stop him or Carlos from taking a slow, careful step forward, standing right by both Mikemon's and Naoko's side with the full intent of protecting Calumon from an uncertain fate. Carlos clenched his hand around the Digivice on his pocket, ready to activate it at a moment's notice.

"You know we can't let you do this."

Naoko was hoping diplomacy would be a thing. It seemed less and less likely. Titania on the other hand leapt out of her hoodie and began glowing as Mikemon began the fight with a slam aimed for K. While that was happening? Titania was drawing upon as much power as her bond with Naoko and the D-3 would give her, which resulted in...Something that wasn't Kazemon. No, that wouldn't be enough for this. She had a feeling this still wouldn't be enough, but it would help a lot as the Raguelmon revved up an attack. And in front of Naoko?

"Tinkermon, warp digivolve tooo...!" There wasn't a Tinkermon there anymore, but a humanoid similar to Kazemon but with much more bestial features and a masked face. "Shutumon!" New form aside? She had to think fast. The last time she was in this form was a long, long time ago and she didn't remember -all- of the faculties of it, but...There was one that'd suffice. She thrust a palm outwards as winds seeped into the building and in front of Titania and Naoko as K's El-Thor made contact with this barrier.

Unfortunately? This was a very -close- battle. With K edging out the barrier. Some of the electricity went through the barrier and delivered some rather gnarly shocks to Titania, who -yelled- in pain, and at least one hit Naoko. Well, why else is her hair standing on end and sizzling?

Titania was still standing, though. She felt like this was off to a bad start.

Passives:

Grace of the Queen - Maniac: Every turn that passes by while a bleed effect is on an opponent allows Titania a passive regeneration.

Flying Fairy: Every three turns, Titania can toggle a piercing effect for whichever move she’s using.

---

Titania shields Naoko with both herself and Protect Shade. She suffers damage from El-Thor given the level difference. Oof. Can't do much else this turn aside from ssssssizzle though.

Protect Shade: A barrier of wind similar to Tornado Gamba surrounds Titania’s front. But, it’s not an attack. This move is dedicated entirely to the barrier, as it extends outwards and is liable to cause harm to physical attackers as well as very literally dice ranged attacks to shreds. It only blocks one attack, though. Three turn cooldown.

Just as Dorothy is about to unleash an attack of her own despite the truly vast difference in power between her and K, a gap so large that the witch is merely equivalent to a mere insect, she is struck by the dark lightning, letting out a horrific shriek and holding onto the broom for dear life, numerous metal decorations on her outfit twisted apart. A whimper comes from her as she tries to raise her arm and attack again, having avoided most of the damage by being off the floor, but a Champion is no match for a Mega, the difference so great that she might as well not be there, slight smoke trailing off of her, the confidence of the witch Digimon completely shattered with one attack. "...G-Gyah, Greeny? Ya really think I can do this? 'Cause I sure don't..." She soon falls silent, save for heavy, pained breathing, just barely alive, her vision foggy.

Seeing her partner in so much pain again makes Alice freeze up in absolute horror, unable to watch yet incapable of looking away. Not again, she thinks to herself... But despite this, she gathers what little courage she has against this monster, and takes a step forwards, approaching Dorothy and the crackling, black electricity, amazed that she herself is still standing. If this thing really wanted, it could just rip the humans limb from limb... And unlike the duo's previous desperate encounter, such a thing seems downright likely. "So you're just going to kill us all if we try to resist, is that it!?" While her Digimon partner is too weakened to do anything, Alice speaks for her, slight tears coming from her eyes as she comes forwards to stand beside Dorothy after the lightning fades away, helping the witch sit up straight. "I know she's not strong enough for this... But that's why I'm here. It doesn't matter how weak I am... I'll stand up against you, too. I can't just sit here..."

"...What are ya sayin'?! Are your brains deep-fried from all that reading 'n burning... L-Listen! You're nothin' to her. Less than nothing..." With agony still coursing through her very core and the entirety of her digital body, the best the electrocuted witch can muster is a slight turn of her head and a pained expression. "I'm supposed to be the one protecting you, no matter what! E-Even if... Even if I can't get any stronger..."

"...Remember what I said? We're equals in this. I work... No, we work together to overcome whatever comes our way, Dorothy... That's what we'll do, if we have to." Alice takes out her Digivice, and stares directly into her partner's eyes. "... I don't care if I get hurt. I have to protect you, just as much as you have to protect me... I said so that night, and that... That was a promise."

As Alice steps in front of her own Digimon as if to shield them from whatever assault comes next, her digivice's screen glows, first a bright orange, and then a blinding, searing, almost unnatural white, even for such an amount of power normally hidden within such things, an audible electric hum coming from the small gadget as if it is about to burst apart. She holds it to her heart, and closes her eyes before looking at the obsidian black feline with an expression of both desperation and determination, her words cold and piercing.

"...I'll die for my partner, if that's what it comes to!" As if in response, the light from her Digivice pierces both her and Dorothy, the emerald haired woman shrieking in agony, but willing to continue, the sensation akin to razor sharp, serrated knives tracing across every nerve...

Dorothy soon becomes covered with this light, her shape changing as her broom is flung to the side, cloth being wrapped around her body as she is filled with power. When the light subsides, Dorothy emerges heavily robed, golden eyes glowing brightly underneath a heavy hood, two glimmering orbs of opposing colors held in her hands, and rejuvenated with new energy coursing through her. "...A-Alice!? Are you ʇɥƃᴉɹ llɐ?"

The tamer of the spellcaster Digimon stands in front of her with an unnatural, almost possessed look in her eyes. "...What have I...?" Drawn to do so, as if by a greater force, she looks for her notebook inside her bag, finding it unlike what it was before, but familiar either way, the pages now covered in symbols, sketches replaced with elaborate symbols and magic circles. She returns to Dorothy's side almost drunkenly, still in a great deal of pain from whatever she did, and smirks in a manner completely opposite to her slightly slumped posture, a trace of red coming down from her mouth. "What have I done? I feel so..." With her mind full of foreign ideas and thoughts, she stands upright , holding the book in one hand while holding out her other hand, similar to what Dorothy herself would do... "Oh. I... I see. You may not be able to be this strong on your own, but together..."

This group actually had teeth did they? They were able to manage some kind of rebuttal from her initial attack. Titania digivolved from tinkermon to a somewhat similarly colored Shutumon. The Raguelmon took a second to address that shift in power; they used a barrier to block a good portion of her attack. But they weren't shielded from the sheer brunt force of it. A hit to both the digimon and tamer made her chuckle marvelously.

The next to be affected by her attack was carlos and Dio; the latter of which would give the most delicious scream of pain she had ever heard. Making the raguelmon positively shutter with a mix of excitement and visible blood lust. Her blue eyes flashing with this tangible emotion.

The next to be affected was Dorothy and their partner Alice. But their question that they pushed forward firsthand made the Cat snarl in irritation. That flickering excitement and blood lust betrayed by her anger for a fleeting instant.

"I come here with my fangs bared and all you do is give me your throats. If you want to talk go to a tea party Princess."

Their digivolution and exchange wasn't really enough to shake what the Digimon had said; though the new form managed to get a severe narrowing of her eyes. A wisemon of all things; there was a broody chuckle and she'd manage out another line.

"How cute. You have a robe and everything... Just. Like. Him."

Of course what followed wasn't a surprise, she took a few moments to address the fact that the mikemon had taken a good hit from her attack. She grinned a little bit as he leapt forward her eyes would meet his if allowed of course.

"Give me more."

The shotgun that followed mixed with the ray from Dio ravaged her body, her form skittered backwards and she slammed either of her hands to door-frame, splintering a large section of it but stopping her momentum. For a few agonizing seconds the Raguelmon didn't move. Then a dark throaty chuckle emerged from her; the data that dripped from her and the smoking cooked part that was hit by Dio's Red Ray was only made her body jolt and twitch with every passionate moment.

"Yes.. Like that my little ducklings, following mama home.""

Her eyes swept the group for a single second and following suit? Her hands were engulfed with lightning sparking and twisting off of her form and the crystals that lay dormant there. She'd give a devilish grin, leaping forward and sweeping a claw at the mikemon in front of her.

"SABETOUR-DE-FORCE"

---

Log:
-K has been struck by both red ray and Crystal storm sending her skittering backwards; but she has stopped herself from going out of the door by using the wall/frame.
-K has activated Sabetour-de-force
-K has made an empowered basic attack against Mikemon.

Attack used:
Sabetour-De-force: This digimon charges it's claws with lightning; empowering it's basic attacks for three posts. If striking soaked individual the damage is doubled, if striking a large body of water the first individual that the lightning would come into contact with is also doubled. Three post cool down.

Duration:
Sabetour-De-Force: [0/3]

Passives:
Charge: For each empowered basic attack or Lightning based move, this digimon builds up a stack of charge. Upon three charges this digimon may release an explosive bolt of lightning dealing high damage to a single target. While there is no cool down on this move it requires others to operate. A target must be within a hundred feet. This digimon doesn't lose charge but must hit a digimon to gain charge.

Voltic Core: This digimon can absorb electricity that it hasn't produced to heal itself. Whether from environment or from moves; moves that would damage it heal it by half instead while the environment if given a constant surge heals it by a medium amount per turn until fully healed.

Cool-downs:
El-thor: [1/3]
Sabetour-De-Force: [0/3]

Charges:

One of Three.

While it seemed their attacks hit their mark, K wasn't about to let neither Mikemon nor Dio knock her back outside. She really wanted to fight them indoors, didn't she? At the very least, Alice and Dorothy had just reached their Ultimate forms as well. If they made it out alive, Carlos would have to congratulate them both, but especially Alice.

It took some serious balls to stand in front of such a terrifying enemy and talk them down, even if Alice's words barely seemed to reach K.

But that didn't matter to Dio. All he cared now was turning this battle around. Now that they were all attacking together it was his time to lead the charge, or at least help the others in trying to overwhelm K. Not even a Mega could deal with four enemies at the same time.

With a scream filled of pure rage, the cyber demon charged forward, his long claws scraping loudly against the metal floor of the Library.

"Bloody Claw Barrage!"

As his claws glowed red with power, he slashed in front of him, aiming for the feline's arm. He knew how much her attacks hurt, so he would try to avoid having them land if at all possible.
He slashed once. Twice. Four times. Eight times.
Again and again his long nails would swipe at K, a small red trail left behind each slash, said trails slowly but surely would converge behind him, slowly growing and forming a large reddish mist like energy.

If any club member were to step into the mist, they would surely find their anger rising, their desire to fight become stronger, their bodies overflowing with energy and power...if only for a short time. All but a small taste of everything Dio was going through right now.

As all this madness was going on Carlos had slowly but surely limped his way behind the table Naoko was hiding, visibly wincing as he pressed his back against the wooden surface for cover.
"So...got any cards or something? Because if not we really have to figure out how to take her down asap."
Carlos said with a grimace, glancing at the hooded girl and at Alice, who was still standing right out on the open. They had to think of something. Anything.

Dio charges forward, aiming to hit K's arm with Bloody Claw Barrage in an attempt at deflecting or stopping her attack aimed at Mikemon.

Passives: Shadow Talisman:

SPOILER: Click to show

Actives:

Bloody Claw Barrage: His claws glow red with energy as he charges forward, whilst slashing madly in front of him, leaving a small red mist on his wake. Each individual slash does relatively small damage, but the sheer amount of them in such a small time frame makes this a dangerous move. Said red mist will buff any ally that comes into contact with it, raising the damage of their next attack by 30%. Three posts cooldown.

Cooldowns:

Bloody Claw Barrage (0/3)
