A fairly standard day in the folder desert: hot, dry, and sand that was coarse and rough and got everywhere. A land that was no doubt hostile to any living (and unliving) creature that dared to travel through it, save for the few that would manage to find an oasis somewhere and set up around it. But this group wasn't there to enjoy the desert life. They had a job to do. Just as the coordinates showed, they'd find themselves nearing a massive metal wall built right into a stone mountain. With no opening to the inside, it would be impossible to tell what was behind the wall. There was, however, a metal gate at the bottom, which was likely the only way they were going to get past. At this point, all the digimon in the group could feel an oppressive aura around the place, as if something were trying to push them down. Staying above champion level would be difficult, and the further they went in, the harder it got until they would just forcefully devolve back to champion. Both Kazuya and Yuuki would receive a notification from their D-Terminals - someone was sending them messages. The name of the source "2C", the one who offered them this job in the first place. >judging by how hard it is to read u guys, ur close >chances are i cant even talk to u when ur in there >not just the blocking. they might read these >if u see a big metal wall in a mountain, u found it >its the only way in >be careful. theyve killed other mons b4 >theyll probs kill humans too >if u got any more questions, ask them nowIf they didn't, their objective was right in front of them.

It wasn't ominous--no, that's putting it a bit sarcastically. Honestly, a dimly light place on place of meeting... From an unknown person too. They're only know as 2C... CC? Nishi? Something else? Well, it's a codename so he guess he shouldn't be digging too deep into it... but as of how they ended in that mission, it was because he was interested in a strange message that somehow gone inside his D-Terminal. At first he thought it was a spam, or something like another junk mail by Terminus Mall (honestly how they done it don't ask him). Hikaru definitely completely against going to the place, and Yuuki couldn't blame him. However, his curiosity is piqued beyond its normal limit, so he decided to jump on it.
In that meeting room, he saw someone that unfortunately he have no idea who, seem to be a man and a partner (or there's no partner, he doesn't remember), and another that seem to be solo Digimon. The projection of what seemed to be their client instead shows a cube as an avatar... Hmn, So the duty is to exterminate machines (Digimon or not, Yuuki had no idea, but from the sound of it, "machine", not "machine Digimon" seem to imply they're something related to real world breach or non-standard in nature, such as virus, other digital entity or something else)
The mission objective is clear. Destroy all the machines, and he'll definitely would do that exactly. However, looking for the source on the other hand... is a bit trickier.
"...We could probably use that new form," Hikaru suggested as they left from the spot. It wasn't Dorugamon as they used to, but something slightly more sinister in nature. The Dorumon dislikes the form. While he's still Hikaru deep down and loyal to Yuuki, Hikaru truly become a hunting hound in that form. But either way... They had no choice, so the moment they stepped out from the Trailmon, Yuuki evolved Hikaru to Sangloupmon. The duo rides to the location provided to them in a map.
...And what awaits was a huge wall... well, calling it a wall perhaps would be inaccurate. To Yuuki, this could be either a fortress, or a trap prison. Either way, this is definitely sending alarm all over the place to his mind.
"...There's something here that interfered with even our crest," Hikaru warned. "Be careful. Most likely we can't even go higher than Sangloupmon or Dorugamon."
"...This gonna be a pain huh... Let's not charge ahead. We need to assess our situation beforehand... Oh, wait, I got a message..."
Honestly, the spelling is a bit chaotic, was it because the interference or something else?
Aright... let's see...
From: Itou Yuuki To: 2C
I have several question, anything will hopefully helps this investigation. Your answer will be very appreciated. First, we'd like to know how long has it been since this place discovered, whether they're built or something else. Second: Although you said that any intruders are immediately disposed of, is there any sort of intel that could help us this time around? Have any scouts been sent here? Maps, or at least information about enemy's types, no matter how vague would helps.
Thank you very much
Hopefully they'll get their answer.

Kazuya was initially reluctant and did not want to join the mission but after some thought he finally agreed, their mission was simple and seemed like it should be straight forward. Defeat all the machines, this objective was right up Royland's alley as he was a combat professional digimon, who preferred to be in the battlefield. But still this mission was not a one man operation, something Royland wasvery aware of and in fact was excited to meet his team mates this time. And they were a partner, digimon team like him and Kazuya, and a solo digimon.
They seemed like swell dudes so Royland will get along well with them, its a lovely party and he wished to get to know them all better and become friends with them, but Royland knew that he was here for something serious so he would leave the friendship making for another more relaxed time.
Soon after they will find themselves in the specified location, and instantly Roy felt something bothering him in the air. He exchanged looks with Kazuya and without saying anything, the man took his digivice and evolved his partner to champion stage, the new form was of a tall knight, his armour had a lion motif and it shared the color scheme of spadamon, holding his mighty spear Überzeugung he made his way up to the wall.
Soon after Kazuya received the message and after reading it he turned towards the other human in the mission.
"Hey, you. I do not know your name, but mine is Kazuya Oda and this is Royland nice to meet you all. " Kazuya said and soon after that Roy bowed to everyone present.
"I got a message from the guy who gave us this mission, but you seem like you are in the middle of a reply, so I let you handle just tell us what is his response." Kazuya said as he placed his hands on his pockets and waited for the response, he wanted to do a quick job.

Nearby was Rythix. He had already Armor Digivolved into his Mothmon form in preparation for the mission and from there he floated near the tamer duos. Part of him felt a little bit envious of such a thing, but he didn't let that distract him from had to be done. The mission briefing had disturbed him significantly. Something...not digimon apparently, but something has been killing digimon in the area and for whatever reason their data is trapped. That was something he couldn't ignore. He wanted to see this mission through and solve the mystery regardless of the danger it posed to him.
"...this is...the strongest form I have..." he admitted "I hope...I can still be of use." he said nervously. He had some good abilities at his disposal, but worried that it wouldn't be enough compared to everyone else. "Keep an eye out...I want to help...the lost data...please."
He realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet "My name...is Rythix. I will help...as much as I can..." everything he said was quiet, slow, and had a sort of meekness to it. He looked up at the giant wall and the singular gate that led inside the compound. How many enemies were there? "...do we know...how many enemies we're facing...? Do we have an idea...where to start looking for data...?" he asked, wanting to know such things for strategic purposes. Regardless of what happened next, Rythix was prepared for the battles to come. He had to be. He was part of the 7/71st. It was his duty to help others.

It wouldn't be long until Yuuki would receive a reply. Or rather, a flurry of them. >afaik, they built into the mountain >dunno what it looks like in there >anything in there will be built from stuff inside mountain >expect lots of stone >any metal would probs be used to fix themselves >or make that wallThe metal wall remained right where it was, a sharp contrast from the rest of the mountain. >no info about current layout
>theyre machines. and not machine digimon
>they dont rest >they could make a whole city in a month >at least they cant make more of themselves >still not sure how many are left there >but u guys can kill them just fine >they can be crafty tho >be careful 4 any trapsA brief breeze blew through the team, doing naught but rustling around a bit of sand. >any more questions? >shouldnt wait much longer tho >if u can see the wall, they may see you soon
Which would ruin the element of surprise, if the group care for it. Kazuya and Royland yuuki rythix

While still waiting for the reply, Yuuki nodded at the trio. "Itou Yuuki, Leader of KIZNA. I'm sorry if I sound snappy, but our enemies are not what I'm used to deal with so I'm kind of jumpy. Our enemies are machines. Not machine Digimon. According to the client, they don't know about the enemy or the layout of the place, which means we'll be the first... and hopefully the one that will clear this place. The wall is built with the metal that the machine dug from the mountain most likely. They seem to be able to fix themselves using these metals. The question is: How well? I'm hoping it's not instant. But either way...
Don't worry for not being strong enough. Utility is as good as any fighting power. You're probably more useful than me anyway in destroying them. Keep your chin up, Rythix was it? Anyway, the client have no clue at all. They told us to be careful of traps. My partner here can mark some of them. If he can go to Cerberumon, most likely he can detect ambush, but traps meanwhile are not something that he can deal with.... The client said we shouldn't dawdle... we probably should get in immediately. Oda-san, if your partner is more suited for defensive moves, may I request you to take the helm? Rythix, you'll go next. I'll take the back. Otherwise, if you think I should take the front, then I'll take the front. Its unlikely that the client know about the data meanwhile. Most likely we need to look for it. Either way...careful."
And with that, Yuuki goes to his assigned spot, riding Hikaru. This is not going to be so swell he's guessing...

Kazuya and Royland turned towards Rythix, the mothmon seemed a bit meek and timid. Kazuya Oda did not read too much into the digimon's personality and just offered him a gentle smile and the following words. "Nice to meet you Rythix, and I am sure your strength will be help us in some way." Kazuya's kind words were nice and simple, even if it lacks a certain feel of honesty and genuine care. You can't fault Kazuya, he just met Rythix he can't realistically genuinely sympathize with his insecure question, few people can sympthaize with people they just met and Royland was one of those few.
The man in lion like armor turned towards the bug, while details of his face were hidden beneath his armour one thing was clear, Roy had a big happy smile on his face. "Don't say stuff like that Rythix, you need to believe in yourself just like I believe in each and everyone us and the fact that we can pull this. If we manage to stand our ground, I believe victory will be on our side." Royland said, his tone indicates some level of truth and honesty that was bright, he believed in every word he just said. "Besides if I learned anything in my time as a leader of a mercenary army, it's that to win you need to utilize multiple strength. A needs to do what A can do, while B does what B can do. What I am getting at is that, while I possess immense combat prowess and good judgement, I still lack abilities like flight. Something you clearly have, this not even mentioning what else you may capable of Rythix, so be strong and confident, comrade." Royland said, his upbeat and honest speech brought a smile on his face, his utter trust on those who support makes Royland someone every team wants, as he always maintains the morale.
Kazuya then focused his attention towards Yuuki, the duo listened to his explanation and then nodded along. Kazuya rubbed his chin for a moment. "Ok so let me get things clear, the client does not have vital info ? Damn and here I hopped this would have been a simple task, now we have to be wary of traps. This is going to be a drag, but anyways in regards to our positions. Royland here has a very combat form right now, as you can see he uses his weapon to deal massive damage. He is fast and very strong, and while he does not have very strong defensive moves, he very much appreciates being the vanguard. So yeah, we will take the lead in this formation. But the question remains, how should we approach ? Blowing up the wall is something Roy can probably do, but it does not sound smart." Kazuya said as he rubbed the back of his head with frustration.
"So what do you guys suggest we do now ?." Kazuya opted to stop trying to figure out what the "best" move is and opted to hear what others had in mind.

Rythix thinks for a moment, feeling at the very least comforted by everyone's words towards him. Utility. Everyone had something they were good at. No one should have to worry about doing everything. Suddenly, he spoke up to agree with Yuuki's sentiment on going in immediately "...We have element of surprise. Can't waste it. We go in now. I'll...open the door and as it opens...I will fly to the ceiling and keep to the dark parts of the room so I scout further ahead...Spadamon can still be the vanguard fighter...I will act as the scout." scouting was Rythix's former specialty, something that only comes up from time to time in this new life. He looked back at the group momentarily "...Thank you for believing in me. I will do my best." he said. This group, much like his team, had a way with words that helped him calm down.
He would be the first to approach the gate. He hovered above the ground, using the force of his fluttering wings to kick away parts of the sand for any traps that might be buried underneath. Afterwards he would search for the means to open the gate, whether it be a panel, a switch, or just simply sliding the thing open. Either way, he looked back at the others "Everybody ready....?" he said. Whatever had to be done to get this gate open, he would do so once everybody was in position.
He flew up to the top part of the gate, slightly off to the side so he isn't immediately spotted and kept and eye out for anything that might possibly happen. Could they be waiting for them? What would they look like and what kinds of attacks would they have? He took a deep breath and readied himself. He could do this. They could do this.

Rythix's search would prove fruitless - there were no traps for him to uncover, no matter how much sand was blown away, and there would be no outward mechanism to interact with. It wasn't until Rythix would reach the top of the gate that slot opened up at the top of the gate, and a pair of yellow orbs lit up from within. They'd likely be hard to notice for the others due to the distance, but for the buzzing bee, there was little doubt that his actions had caused some reaction from the wall itself. It would be even more obvious when the orbs extended outward, like eyestalks from a snail. They looked downwards, looking around the area before fixating on the two human and digimon pairs still on the ground - one orb focusing on each pair. " Helloooo?" The source would be from a speaker slightly above the gate. Undoubtedly synthetic-sounding, like it was ran through a text-to-voice program, the deep voice would be heard by all in the area. " Why are the four of you here? State your purpose." Evidently, while it may have started up due to Rythix's actions, it was not yet aware of the armor champion. But the other four were not as lucky, as something now knew they were there. In particular, the eyes seemed to focus on Yuuki and Kazuya. " I'm not familiar with what kind of digimon you two are. State your names." yuuki Kazuya and Royland rythix

Kazuya was confused when the voice came from the other side of the wall, it probably belonged to the machines everyone is here to destroy. But for now it's just a wild guess, there is no way Kazuya can know for now, so he wished his comrades will remain neutral in order to pry knowledge from them. After a couple of seconds of silence Kazuya noticed that Yuuki was not talking, he figured that he will be the one who has to deal with it. This did not amuse Kazuya as the man scratched the right side of his head, well the spotlight will be on him for now.
"Hello there!"
The man said as he began to take charge, even though he did not want to. The look on his face was enough to tell you how much he did not want to do this, his Clearlöwemon partner walked up next to him to reassure him. Royland placed his utmost trust upon Kazuya, he left the negotiations to him.
"We are here to take a break, we were wandering the desert but now we are very tired so can you guys help us ?"
Kazuya believed that he provided a decent excuse to the voice, but who knows. Kazuya then crossed his arms and leaned into a more bold and confident pose, gushing a sense of strength as he intended to grab hold of the conversation by establishing strong body language.
"Hmm, I am surprised you have not. We are from a very popular family of digimon, its called homosapiemons. Anyways our names are Kazuya and Roy." Kazuya pointed to himself and Royland respectively, he then pointed at Yuuki and Hikaru and said "and those two are..." he paused to let them introduce themselves, maybe they wanted to use fake names. He would have done that but, no point hiding your name from people you are going to destroy.

Honestly... to not attack (his first natural response to this situation) is strange, but Yuuki froze (his secondary natural response). They said "four" not "five", which means one among them is still not yet found. He hoped that it's Rhytix instead of Hikaru or him (or worse, the robot counted him and Hikaru as one, although that's probably impossible considering how sensors works)
He wondered if Kazuya remembers their objective, or he got some plan somehow. But either way... Yuuki decides to bit his tongue and play along. He's not a smooth liar like Koutarou, but at the very least he'll attempt to cover any sort of mistakes as much as he could. It's hard to attempt to lie though. Lying to living beings are easier than machine, considering that they might be equipped with lie detector.
"Name's Yuuki, this is my friend Hikaru."
True, there's no need to hide his name from anyone he gonna destroy. He actually wanted to know just how far would this robot takes it when he said his real name? Ah well. The dice is cast.
"...We're traveler that happened to be looking for nearby mine for Rustport development." This is not a lie. He's actually thinking of doing this one of this day. "And we got reports that this place have certain special metals, We came to check its validity and properties, maybe it can be used for something."
Aeterna forge came to mind but so far he has not told any sort of lies. Hopefully Rhytix could work with this.

Rythix remained quiet and hugged tightly against the wall. He carefully analyzed the movements of the strange eyes...cameras, whatever they were. He was trying to find a blind spot in their vision or movement so he could fly in undetected once the gates opened up. They were flexible it seemed, so that would prove difficult...maybe they would retreat into the wall once the gate opened. That would be beneficial. If not he'd have to get creative. Try to fly in while the gate closes....or dive between the eye stalks to avoid detection.
He smiled at the diplomatic approach Kazuya took and hoped dearly that both his and Yuuki's stories would hold up. He kept still, not wanting to attract too much attention to himself. Such was the fate of a scout. He was here to sneak around and listen in on details that the others might not be able to find normally. He hoped that inside this facility had plenty of places to hide to up on the ceiling. If not, he'd make due.
This was a kind of mission his old self was used to, but he might be a bit rusty. To let these guys down would be heartbreaking, but he couldn't allow himself to dwell on that. They believed in him, and that was enough for him. From what he gathered, these machines seemed very prone to tunnel vision, focusing entirely on what's in front of them. If that was true he could take advantage of it. Though for now all he could do was play the waiting game.

The voice remained silent as the two humans explained their reasons for being here. It observed them and their digimon, examining them front-to-back, the eyestalks revealing themselves to be more like tendrils with eyes at the end. While the eyes were far off from Rythix, and never once looked over in his direction, there was still no opening for him to get inside - though careful inspection of the wall would reveal there were a number of patches in the construction. After a moment, the eyes would recede slightly, given the two pairs some space. " Oh...yes. Now that I look in my memory banks, I do know of the digimon species 'Homosapiemon', though this is the first time meeting any of you." Another brief moment passed, before the gate below slid open - rather abruptly, like someone just threw it upwards. " Anyways, you guys have permission to come in. When you pass through me, just follow the path. I've already informed our leader of your arrival. He'll come to meet you when you're inside." The two eyestalks would then recede, returning to the slot they came from. There was more than enough time for Rythix to sneak through them into the gate before they had a chance of spotting them, though even if he stood completely still, he wouldn't be spotted. Probably the first thing that everyone would notice upon passing through the gate was that there wasn't anyone behind it - merely another side to the wall. A dark passage wound down further in, high enough for the buzzing bee to remain a good distance away from the others if he so wished, though the hint of light could be seen. There was something at the end of this passage, but what it was would be up to them to find out.
Not that they'd have any other direction to go - the door would close once all of them were inside, with only the faint illumination showing them where to go. yuuki Kazuya and Royland rythix

The man with the Golden eyes was legitimately shocked that his lies went through, they were not necessarily bad but he did not expect them to pass with no issue at all. Hey you know what they say, Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. So Kazuya decided to play along for now, infiltrate the belly of the beast and destroy it from within. That was the plan that they will go with for now, of course if a new variable presents itself or someone comes with a better plan, both Kazuya and Royland were more than happy to adapt.
"Well today is your lucky day since you get to meet two of our digimon species, we are quite rare." Kazuya said as hints of sarcasm emanates with both the way he said it, and how his body language was. Broad shoulders and overall relaxed tone.
Royland however was razor focused, not saying a word, standing Kazuya gripping his spear and striking a mighty pose. From the off set, he looks like as if a guardian deity is here to protect its faithful follower. This powerful champion held its ground, positioning itself in-front of Kazuya when the door suddenly opened. Luckily for everyone it was not an ambush attempt, nothing came out of it. Kazuya then turned to Yuuki and gestured to him to follow him, once everyone was there Kazuya whispered.
"Psst, keep an eye on the area, tell me if you notice anything weird. Or anything we can use to our advantage." Kazuya, now returned to silence to see how things play out.

...Does this thing really had no ability to detect lie, is told lie with the exact same word, or is it tricking them? Yuuki had no idea, but it's honestly goddamn suspicious how easily they're able to get inside. If anything, he had half mind to facepalm if this all turned to be just some exact same blatant lie that someone used to get inside.
Luckily, his urge control is higher than that. Being in alert is definitely important but to Yuuki, being so alert probably would make the robots sensed anomaly in their biological reaction. So instead, he tapped his partner on the head, who thankfully got it. Alas, controlling his outer appearance is easy, but controlling his heartbeat is not so. He's nervous.
Hikaru meanwhile stayed calm and collected. Being Sangloupmon, he's naturally blind, but with the help of his sharp hearing and extraordinary sense of smell, he hopefully could sniff out any movements. Hopefully, he could find something from this. When he walks, he sniffed around for anything, any specific details that's deeper more than smells of oil.
...As soon as he reached some sort of conclusion, he hope that's the time for them to strike finally.
