" There is more than human history here. It's also natural history, art and other forms of exhibits. If the Digimon showing up somehow reflects the exhibits, there could be all kinds here, but safe to say the Dinosaurs are the most violent. Let's just try to steer clear of any for now." Zachary suggested, and Bahgeeramon growled in agreement. With everyone full and ready, they pressed on. Without knowing how much time they had or where to really go, they had to keep moving. They couldn't stuff their faces forever... well most of them couldn't. The Bearmon was very focused on his food even as he took the can of food with him as they went. With Zachary leading the general direction, as he knew the museum a bit despite the Digital Shift. Still, there was no true way to know the way around as the place had become a maze. Taking the right corridor down from the cafeteria. As they would round the hall, nothing would stick out to them for the moment, but as they would approach another turn-- they could hear sounds. Silent, Bagheeramon halted and urged the others to stop too... as shadows began to project up from the walls. From the silhouettes, they looked most likely to be Black Agumon that were wandering around, and a good number of them. While fighting them was possible, it would be best to avoid them. Looking around, Zachary spotted it-- a door with another exhibit on it labeled "Maritine Exhibit". It was the only nearby door and one where they could escape from encountering more dinosaurs that could call for more. " There," Zachary said in a hushed tone to the corridor beside them. Swiftly, Bagheeramon and Zachary got to the door and encouraged the others to follow. Cracking the door open, he let them in and gestured the stragglers in, likely that Bearmon would be the slowest. Once everyone was inside, Zachary jumped in and closed the door. If Zachary recalled, this exhibit was just an example of ocean and water environments, hardly anything dangerous.With the door closed, Zachary sighed as he allowed himself a moment to rest. They were on an elevated platform that had two layers to the room, with stairs going down. " Okay... Okay... I think we're safe--" Zachary said as he turned around. Zachary expected to see the large 'blue whale' replica that would hang from the ceiling... but something else had changed in this place. Instead, he now looked into the face of a rather large, brown and round-shaped head of another aquatic creature. It looked just as large, just as intimidating and moved at the presence of their arrival. A large grunt came from the whale, now right in front of their faces..." AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Zachary screamed, face to face with the massive whale-Digimon. Bahgeeramon's fur went up and electricity sparked off his body, clearly prepared to fight if the massive whale was in fact a threat. " WHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" the whale screamed as well, showing them a good inside of its mouth as well. Luckily the room would be soundproof with the doors and large area, cause the scream from both of them-- if not more-- would have been overheard by their pursuers. However after the almost 'comedic' shouting match ended, the whale finally took the breath to speak. " Please, don't hurt me!!" Zachary's scream lasted a moment more but soon stopped. " Ahhh--... what?" Zachary stopped to say, perplexed by the whale's reaction. The massive Whale shivered at the sight of the tamers and their Digimon, clearly frazzled and nervous. He was held up in the air suspended by the same cables and mechanics used to hold the whale statue back in the real world. It almost looked hilarious to see the massive whale Digimon now suspended in the air like this, stuck. However, the mood of the Whale didn't suggest it was feeling happy. Despite it, Bahgeeramon refused to lower his guard. In truth, the whale looked frightened and upset-- despite it having no real 'face' to read. For the moment, Zachary was stunned to find a massive whale actually up strapped to the ceiling like this. OOC Notes: You have progressed further down the museum but went into another room to avoid detection-- to meet a very odd whale-Digimon strapped to the ceiling like the former exhibit in the real world. After a screaming scenario it seems the whale isn't hostile... for the moment. (Bonus challenge here )

"Doesn't mean the other exhibits aren't dangerous at all," Adrian replied to Zachary's comment on dinosaurs being the most dangerous, "Like I said, we could end up in an exhibit all about a war. And I'm betting to guess that any Digimon there will try to shoot us on sight."
It did not take long at all for the Digimon to eat up and get their strength back. With food out of the way, now was the time for them all to continue traveling and potentially find a way to seal off this Digital Shift once and for all. As they traveled, John had answered some of Adrian's questions.
"Yeah, I'm familiar with both AEGIS and Neo-DATS. Hell, the first time we ran into them was at the beginning of the year, Shoutmon and I were helping to stop intruders from the Digital World from building a giant black spire in the middle of Shibuya. We had our asses handed to us until DATS agents arrived. And I assume I don't need to tell you about Golden Week?"
John said he had heard of the Demon Lords, but hadn't dealt with them. "We have. Adrian and I joined a group to discuss negotiations with a GranDracmon, who was like their servant or whatever. We didn't like what they had to say, so they attacked us. Turns out it wasn't even the real GranDracmon, just two brothers who fused to pose as him... ugh, the entire mess still makes me angry to this day."
While the group walked down the corridor, they could hear silent sounds, and then seeing small shadows pop up. It seemed to be a large herd of BlackAgumon. Not wanting to get into another fight, the group entered a nearby exhibit to try and hide - the "Maritine Exhibit." Thinking they were safe, Adrian and Shoutmon took a deep breath...
...right up until Zachary screamed, causing Adrian and Shoutmon to scream as well in utter surprise, before they heard another screaming from a voice they did not recognize. After the screaming match ended and everyone could collect their thoughts, they noticed that there was a giant Whamon hung to the ceiling like one you'd see at a real exhibit.
"Uh... hi?" Shoutmon awkwardly said, not really knowing how to respond to this situation.

John and Casimeir remained on edge from everything that led up to this point. Any exhibit could swiftly turn into a battle zone. Even the hallways were a potential hazard with the rogue Rookie Digimon lurking about. Any corner they turned could lead to a trap. But they were ready for any surprises that would be thrown at them.
Or so they thought.
The group agreed to slip into the Maritime section of the digitally distorted museum. Fighting all of those BlackAgumon was not a smart move in John's mind. Wasting valuable energy on a few Rookies when they could conserve it and focus on the more significant battles. The group exhaled in relief. As did John and his Digimon Partner.
They believed they were in the clear. No exhibits coming to life to attack them. Until, of course, John and Casimeir noticed the very peculiar whale hanging from the ceiling. It was a whale species they weren't familiar with, that was for sure.
"Odd," John commented. "Didn't the ads for this place say it was a Blue Whale that was in the Maritime Exhibit? That looks like an armored Sperm Whale."
But before a thorough examination could be performed, the strange whale screamed in terror. And all present screamed in unison just as enthusiastically. John and Casimeir held onto each other for dear life. They tried to not be scared too easily normally. But this was an exception. It was a giant whale that was screaming at them!
And the screaming slowly died down. Whamon's pleas for mercy filled the Partnered Pair with intrigue.
"Wait," Casimeir squeaked, "you're not going to attack us?"
John slowly set the Agumon down. Though his eyes remained locked on Whamon. "You thought we were gonna hurt you?"
The pair looked to the others for some guidance. The Whamon seemed genuine, and afraid. For some reason. A quick glance at his Digivice told John that it was an Ultimate-level Digimon. Why was an Ultimate afraid of them?
John scratched his chin. "We're not here to hurt you, Whamon," he said in a calm, soothing voice. "We can help you get down. Guys? All in favor of helping Whamon?"

Zachary was a bit baffled and Bahgeeramon still was on edge with the dangers around them. Still, the Whamon was indeed not a threat considering how he hung to the ceiling like that. His whimpering tone also made it clear he was a 'fish out of water' scenario here. He was stuck in the museum like Bearmon was. Adrain and his Shoutmon were also a little surprised, and John was hugging his Agumon.
Once the confusion calmed down, they knew better this Whamon was not a danger. He sniffed a bit, trying to calm down. "I been stuck here, in this strange place... in this unseemly situation. Those dinos just mock me when they come by and... and..." He looked upset till they offered to help. John was the first to pitch it and of course, Zachary was on board.
But getting him down? The whale hung from cables to the ceiling with a story drop to nothing but a museum floor and bleachers, surrounded by fake diaramas of watery places-- none of which were real water or big enough body for a whale if they were.
"Yeah-- let's find a fish tank or something," The bear said, wanting to try and help too.
Zachary looked to John and Bearmon with a sarcastic look. "That's a swell idea. We just get a few pints of water or get an inflatable pool---HE'S THE SIZE OF A HOUSE!" Zachary ended with the snap to tell that getting him out of there was a tall order.
With the sarcastic comment gone, Zachary's need to vent his frustration using that as a coping mechanism, he looked to Whamon. "Whamon, right? How did you even get stuck up there in the first place?"
The sobs of the whale still lingered as he spoke. "I just did. One moment I am swimming in the ocean, free as can be without a care in the world. Next, there is this whirlpool and I get sucked into this light-- and next thing I knew, I am unable to move and stuck here. When those dinosaurs came to see -- they just laughed and left me here. Like i was some kind of... Kind of..." he said, his voice lingering with clear sadness and discomfort.
"Trophy Fish?" Bagheeramon spoke, reminded of those fish often displayed up on hunter's walls.
"BWAAAAAA-hahaha...!" Whamon sobbed aloud, tears like spouts shooting from his 'eyeless' face to make it clear he was upset to be referred to in such a way.
"Bahgeeramon!" Zachary shouted, but the cat only gave a puzzled look, despite his blunt observation.
Zachary ran a hand through his hair as he tried to think. How could they help him? Moving him was impossible, even worse since they were all trapped in this Digital Shift. Cutting him down to only have him beached on the floor wouldn't do him any favors either.
"I don't know how long I can take this... hanging here in the air," the whale groaned, "I been hanging high and dry for hours... What I wouldn't give for some water to hydrate me..."
"Water, huh?" Zachary mused, trying to think.
OOC: Luckily Whamon is not a threat as he now hangs from the ceiling with no way down. He briefly explains how he 'ended up there' and the Dinosaurs didn't view him as a threat stuck there-- unable to make any actions without water. He is dried out and really would like some water if possible... considering all his blubbering makes him even less hydrated.

Now with the screaming coming from everyone dying down, a scenario that probably would count as comedy in some TV show, especially with the way John and Casimeir held each other as they screamed, they could calm down and all be civil. The Whamon looked very upset, commenting on how the dinosaurs mocked him. John suggested helping Whamon off of the suspension lines. If they were nearby an ocean this would've been a nice idea. But right now? The closest thing he got to a rallying "yeah, let's do it" were glares of judgement from Adrian and Shoutmon. "John, I don't know if that's REALLY the best option right now. This room isn't exactly the ocean, despite all the watery-looking things around here."
"Maybe we can think of another way to get Whamon out of here?"Even Zachary wasn't on board with the idea, with his sudden snap of just how big Whamon was. Whamon then explained how he ended up here, saying a whirlpool appeared and he was sucked up into a big light, then found himself here with the dinosaurs laughing at him. Bagheeramon of course made it worse by calling Whamon a "Trophy Fish," which just made him cry even more. "Was that seriously necessary?" Adrian scolded Bagheeramon. For such a big Digimon, this guy sure is a big crybaby, Shoutmon thought to himself. However, Whamon's story did stir something in Adrian's mind. "A bright light, you said... that's practically what Bearmon here said, when he came into this Digital Shift. None of it is adding up for me... Why does this Shift exist in the first place? And why are Digimon being sucked into it?"
Eventually the Whamon stopped crying and expressed his need for water. Now, Adrian didn't have any water on him, and if he did it certainly wouldn't be enough for a Whamon. Unless... "You thinking what I'm thinking, Shoutmon?"
"Me thinks I am," Shoutmon replied with a grin. "Everyone stand back..." Adrian warned everyone before extending his D-Arc watch arm out. "Digi-Armor Energize!"
A bright blast of water shot out of the Digivice, surrounding around Shoutmon and causing the Digimon to morph and change. "Shoutmon, Armor Digivolve to... Tylomon!"
Afterwards, the Digimon once known as Shoutmon was now bigger than the humans but not nearly as big as Whamon, of course. He flew right up to the Whamon and shot a big blast of water right at him. "Hydro Wave!" Tylomon uses "Hydro Wave" to provide Whamon with sweet, sweet water. Hydro Wave: Tylomon unleashes a powerful blast of water from its mouth.

John and Casimeir both were glad that everyone was on the same page. Having a good team dynamic would help them reach their end goal. The pair remained confident that everyone would finish this mission and be okay.
Their hearts went out to the Whammon as he sobbed his story of how he got here, how the Digimon were making fun of him. And yeah, Bagheeramon's quip was clever. But now wasn't the right time.
Adrian and Shoutmon appeared to get the same clever idea that John had. And it was interesting to see that Shoutmon's Armor Ultimate was Tylomon. It was the same form that Casimeir took as an Armor Champion, after all. So having Casimeir Armor Digivolve would be just the thing to help refresh the whale Digimon!
"That's some quick thinking there, guys," John quipped with a smile. "How about it, Cas? Let's Armor Digivolve!"
"Right!" Casimer shouted with a grin.
John fished out his D-arc from his pocket and raised it toward his partner. "Digi-Armor energize!"
Casimeir became engulfed with energy. "Agumon Armor Digivolve to...!"
From the energy, a massive Tylosaur emerged as if breaching from the sea. "Tylomon!"
The newly-evolved Digimon did not waste time with the task at hand. He spun where he levitated and unleashed a stream of water toward the Whamon. "Hydro Wave!"

The option to cut down Whamon was clearly not an option but they could do what they could to hydrate the great whale. Ironically, both dinosaurs had two identical armor forms and they both used its water attacks to douse the Whamon in water. " Whooo-hoo-hoo-hoo--that's good-- oh!" The Whamon bellowed with relief, the water dripping off his large body. Zachary felt a little left out as he checked his pocket. Searching through the Digimon Cards he had, he soon came across a Seadramon card he had that offered a aquatic attack. " Bagheeramon has no aquatic form but..." Zachary shared to John and Adrian and showed the card to Bagheeramon. The cat growled at the card and shook his head. " Nope-- not happening. Forget it!" the giant tiger replied. " Oh, come on." Zachary grumbled. " I'm a proud and powerful warrior Digimon-- not some fire hydrant." he argued, clearly not liking to have to use what Zachary was thinking. Zachary crossed his arms while Bearmon, puzzled, looked at the tiger while the two Digimon splashed with water on the Whamon. Still, Zachary tried to get the cat to work with helping water the Whamon. Perhaps it was the fact the cat hated the water, but either way, he was being rather difficult. " Need I remind you that YOU were the one that made him cry for calling him a ' a fish hanging from a plact" ? " Zachary pointed out with a grumpy look at the cat. Bahgeeramon growled softly as he realized his error, despite a blunt and truthful observation. " Fine... I'll do it, but if you all tell anyone, I'll make those dinosaurs look like cubs compared to what I would do to you," he threatened, but more likely out of pride than a real threat. Zachary rolled his eyes and lined up the card with his violet colored D-Ark. " Digi-Modify! Seadramon's Sea Blast, Activate! " he announced. As Bahgeeramon moved along the platform that surrounded the room on the second floor-- that surrounded Whamon-- his body shifted like static as Seadramon's data was added to his own. With a growl, Bahgeeramon roared aloud. " Sea Blast!!" From his roaring maw, a powerful jet of water began to shoot out like a fire hose to add to the shower. ALl the while he had a displeased look on his face as he felt ridiculous 'throwing up' water like that. " Oooh-ho-ho-- That's so good! Thank you-Thank you!" the whale said, his once mopey tone now gone as water cascaded over his dried out body. He fidgeted in his wire cradle happily as if he was someone being tickled. " Oh, that's the spot! Oh-- Under the flipper, under the flipper please--- ahhh..." The whale was almost comical as he let the water wash his form, and he felt more lively than he had been before. With a small shake that made the cables creak a bit-- he shook off some water and let out a big yawn of appreciation. " Ooooh-- Thank you so much! You have no idea how badly I needed that water. " " Don't mention it," the tiger Digimon said with a growl of embarrassment. " Seriously, don't. I have a reputation to keep." The cat soon prowled his way back to the group. Despite not being back in the ocean, the dousing in water had revitalized his energy and made him far more comfortable. " Well, thank you... but where are we exactly? This isn't some horrific whaling place, is it? " the Whamon asked with a hint of worry. " Um... no," Zachary said as he pocketed his Digivice and cards, " You're in a museum... or some place that looks like a Museum. It's a Digital shift." " We don't have time for this," Bahgeeramon said firmly, " I'm glad we could help him, but this is a real emergency. We need to find out how to stop this Digital Shift before any of those dinosaurs can get out." The whale cocked his body in curiosity. " Oh, a Digital Shift, you say? Why didn't you say so. I know how this works, though I cannot do anything while stuck like this." the whale said. Zachary was about to argue against his Digimon-- till Whamon's words struck Zachary's nerves. " Wait-- you what?" Zachary said, surprised by their new friend. " I may not look it, but I am quite the scholar in the Digital World. Either way, I can probably help you if you like. What do you need to know? " he asked. OOC Notes: You have succeeded in providing Whamon with water to revitalize his condition and likely keep him comfortable for a while. Now calmed down and less dry hanging there, he reveals he knows about how the Digital Shift works and would share his knowledge, so now is the time to ask him Cards used: 1/7 -- Seadramon

The partners were glad that John and Casimeir were willing to help out, but they didn't expect to have Casimeir Armor Digivolve into another Tylomon. It was so surprising that Adrian's Tylomon stopped launching water at Whamon for a second just to hold his mouth open with surprise.
"Well, that was unexpected," Adrian commented after Casimeir Armor Digivolved. "Who woulda thought they'd have similar Armor Digivolutions?"
The two Tylomons continued their work with providing Whamon with water, who reacted like he was loving it a little too much. And thanks to a little convincing from Zachary, Bagheeramon even joined in to help thanks to a Seadramon card that Zachary activated. Adrian noticed how Bagheeramon still looked... disturbed by the attack.
What's his problem? It's just a water attack.
Thanks to their efforts the Whamon was now completely covered in water, and looked very thankful towards the group. Bagheeramon still looked upset that he had to perform a water attack like that, which made Tylomon semi-glare at Bagheeramon. "Dude, you really need to chill out. It was just a water attack, no big deal!"
Now that Whamon has been helped, the group still needed to find a way out of the Digital Shift. That's when Whamon drops a bomb and just casually reveals to be a Digital World scholar, and knew how Digital Shifts worked. Adrian and Tylomon stared at Whamon, both of them seemingly going white.
Since they all helped him out, he offered to answer any of their questions. Adrian decided to be the first to ask. "Is there a way we can shut down this Digital Shift... without harming any of the Digimon? We can't let any of the dinosaur Digimon slip into the human world."

John let Adrian ask his questions first. He wanted to see if any questions of his own would be answered from what the other partnered pair had to ask. Only after waiting his turn would he ask some questions of his own.
"This is my second experience with a Digital Shift," John explained to the scholarly Whamon. "I'm also wanting to know how to stop it. But we'd like to know what exactly causes them. How are they created?"
Casimeir added to the conversation with his own query. "Can humans also be harmed if a Digital Shift is shut down while they're inside of one?"

Zachary was surprised by this development. He would glance around, making sure that they were safe in this dangerous Digital Shift while they questioned the giant hanging whale that hung in the middle of the large room. Adrian and John were well on the mark for asking what needed to be asked regarding the Digital Shift, and the whale hummed in thought.
"Yeah, hold on... so what makes a Digital Shift and A Digital Field different? I know Digital Fields enough but..." Zachary sighed as he gestured to his surroundings with a shrug of his arms. "This is driving me insane."
The Whamon thought and began to explain. "Where to begin? Well, first as you know, a Digital Field, is a space where a Digimon emerges into the human world. Usually as a seemingly large cloud of fog or something, that contains data to help it stabilize a functional body in your world. Beyond that, till it stabilizes, it cannot do much else, " the whale explained, "Digital Shifts... are something else entirely but can be used to do the exact same thing. A Digital Shift occures, when someone or something forces data from the Digital World, large quantities of it anyway, to intrude into the real world through data that exists in the real world. While both has its limitations, this one uses the real world's data to aid in its creation and stability, depending on the circumstances. As you can see, one key difference creates a whole other pocket-world, or substitute world that exists between both."
"What circumstances?" Bahgeeramon said, his tone a bit impatient but direct.
"Hmm... it can vary. A Digital Shift requires more energy but its functions can be numerous, depending on the data from your world and the intention of its controller. In this case, you can bet one of them is those mean dinosaur Digimon running around." Whamon said, gently flapping his flippers.
Zachary had a puzzled look on his face. "You're suggesting the Dinosaurs are the ones who caused it?" he asked.
"Indeed. They were there when I first got here, mocked me for not being worth fighting and left me here to ... to.." he began to sniffle a bit, reliving the painful hanging he got.
"Focus," the black tiger groaned.
"Sorry-- ahem, anyway, they been patrolling and stalking things, following orders almost like an army. So no doubt they are involved. And I believe I know why too. " Whamon said, "One benefit I know, is that a Digital Shift can also act as a bridge to allow access between worlds, like I said, but until its complete, the Digital Shift is unstable... " The whale soon gasped. "Which explains why I got pulled in! A digital shift of this size and number of Digimon is difficult to control, and so the creator probably couldn't control the entry points. Random portals can open up anywhere."
Zachary realized the truth of his words as he stopped and raised a hand to his chin in thought. "That must be why we were even able to get in at all, and certain others couldn't. It would also explain why this place is a maze and also why random Digimon related to the Exhibits have been appearing." he suggested, finding the concept facinating. His friend who was into computer science would have loved this. "Why you and Bearmon would appear! But... the dinosaurs, why would they even want to do this place in the first place?"
"I'm a scholar, not omniscient," the Whale said in light humor, "It likely isn't to sightsee your world. While this place is unstable, it won't be for long, and when its stable, it can be connected freely to wherever its user wants it to go."
"User?" Zachary asked.
The whale hummed again, trying to think of the best way to explain what he meant. "A digital shift, of this magnitude, requires a ridiculous amount of energy. This is only casually considered to be a skilled Mega-Level Digimon or even stronger. " he replied, "One of them could create and control a Digital Shift, but due to the number of violent dinosaurs around, I am more willing to guess the one who created and controlled this space, is a single Digimon the others obey. Like a leader in a tribe or army. He creates it, and maintain the field. As for your question, how to stop the field. "
"The User who created the field, made this likely as a means to allow himself and his minions to enter the real world. Since more likely, he isn't strong enough to produce the energy on his own, he used a collective pool of energy from his own allies. The other Dinosaurs. But if you defeat the User-- their leader-- the Digital Shift will dissolve. "
"And all the Digimon inside after that?" Zachary asked.
"They all will be sent back to where they were from... in theory," the whale added, making his word seem a little less credible, but not intentional. "As for humans, I do not know. This is the first time I heard of Humans inside a Digital Shift before."
It was a lot of information to absorb, and likely others would be reeling from the interdimensional logic this all took. However, they now understood what caused the shift, and how to dissolve it.

Adrian and Tylomon both did their best to pay attention to Whamon's explanation, although there was a lot of information to try and soak up at once. He explains that Digital Fields were primarily used to help Digimon gain functional bodies while they were in the human world, while Digital Shifts takes inspiration from the real world to help stabilize its data, creating a whole new pocket world.
"So to get this straight... Digital Fields just act as a way for Digimon to get into the human world..."
"...while Digital Shifts take data from the real world to make some kind of pocket dimension. Did I get that right?"
As they listened on, Whamon confirmed that one of the dinosaur Digimon they were fighting could be the one that caused this Digital Shift in the first place. Well, at least that is what Whamon said. "But wait, aren't there more than just dinosaurs here? John, Casimeir, you guys said you were attacked by a Musyamon, right? That Digimon doesn't exactly scream dinosaur, in my eyes. But otherwise, Whamon does have a good point."
During his explanation, Whamon figured out how he even ended up here in the first place: random portals were appearing in both the human world and the Digital World, sucking in humans and Digimon. "Yeah, that would make a lot of sense... we mainly saw dinosaurs in the dinosaur exhibits, minus that big Stegomon."
Whamon continued explaining a new aspect to a Digital Shift, the User. One super-skilled Digimon of at least Mega level was controlling the Shift and acting as a leader for the other Digimon, trying to get himself and his minions over to the human world.
"If the User gets what he wants..." Tylomon says, "it would be a full scale invasion!"
"There's tons of people in the museum today. Sure, AEGIS or DATS could stop them in time, but people will still be hurt or killed if we don't stop it before it happens."
"Once the User is down, the Shift will dissolve and we'll all be sent back. Got it. Now we just need to find out who or what the User is."

Casimeir had already returned to his Rookie form by now. He and John paid close attention to what was being said in the present moment. The back and forth between Whamon and the group. It was good that now they were all getting some solid answers. How a Digital Shift differed from a Digital Field. It must have been a Digital Field that they encountered back at the Bank.
The pair turned their attention to Adrian when their names were called.
"That's right," Casimeir answered. "We came across a Musyamon when we first entered the Shift.
John cupped his hand to his forehead and stroked his hair back. "We were lucky enough to avoid any humans from entering the Shift when we did. There was a group of students on a field trip. Which means there's still a risk of humans wandering in."
Casimeir slightly hung his head in worry. "I hope that, if any humans do enter by accident, they don't get hurt."
John eyed his partner with worry. "We're gonna keep hope that any people that do come in will be safe. And, we're gonna work on finding the User. And we'll either try to reason with them, or we'll beat them."

Zachary did take in all this information. The only issue was the Musyiamon, but Whamon was right. The majority of Digimon they did run into who were more violent and aggressive were the Dinosaur-Type Digimon. Zachary had grown up learning about Dinosaurs as a kid, so he knew how most of them looked like, and how Digimon that were based off them would look similar. "Well, just because it wasn't a dinosaur, doesn't mean it wasn't an ill-mannered Digimon. Think about it? If the Digital Shift isn't stable, it probably is sucking in Digimon without real control, hense why Whamon is stuck on the ceiling like this," Zachary pointed out.
"The point being," Whamon continued to address the three boys and their Digimon, "While the two are different, a Digital Shift can act as a bridge to help Digimon cross over to the real world, which is why they likely why the Dinosaur Digimon have done this."
The risk was very clear. These digimon could break out of the Digital Shift and invade, which made Zachary feel all the more nervous. Even Bearmon was uncharacteristically quiet, realizing the danger the world was in.
Beep-beep! Beep-beep! Beep-beep!
Zachary's eyes widened and Bahgeeramon looked to his parnter as something went off in his pocket. At first, he didn't know what, but Zachary soon searched to find it was his Digivice. Pulling out the violet-colored D-Arc, he looked to the screen to find the UI was gone, and replaced by a rather odd clock. The Digivice had kept time before, however...
... this clock was counting down. "55:06:26" The first, being minutes, the second seconds, and the third mili-seconds speeding down in count down. The sheer look of the speeding clock made Zachary feel almost like he was holding a bomb as he brought the group's attention to it.
"Um, guys?" Zachary said nervously, "Either this is the world's most complicated egg-timer, or do you guys have this on your Digivices too?"
Should the others look, they too would have the same countdown timer on their Digivices, with the exact same time counting down.
"I won't pretend to understand how this thing works half the time, but I am estimating," Zachary said in a sarcastic tone to ease his anxiety, "... less than an hour before all hell breaks loose?"
Bahgeeramon growled, realizing they did not have much time to navigate through this maze and find the enemy. "Then we cannot afford to delay and waste time-fighting any more of these minions if we can help it. "
"Oooh, this is bad. If you want to stop the Digital Shift, you need to hurry, before I wind up actually a fish out of water in your world instead of here!" the Whamon whined.
At that time, another screen opened up on their Digivices. In addition to the clock, the radar of the Digivice would reveal blips of many Digimon. Due to the floors of the building and number of Digimon around, blips were all over the place. However, more noticably, was a small collection of moving blips that approached where they were-- coming towards the door.
"Um, guys? I hate to say it but I think we are about to have company..." Zachary said, glancing at the door they came in.
Now concerned for his new friends, Whamon shook in his wire-framed hammock. "Hurry! If you go below, there is a door that should take you to the rest of this place. You can use that to escape. I'll hold them off while I can!" Whamon said, willing to help. Considering he was an ultimate, perhaps he had enough strength now to buy them some time to escape... or help fight if they choose.
Now they had to find this boss-- and either power through or avoid any enemies along the way... before it was too late!
OOC Notes: You got as much info that Whamon could offer. However, your Digivices now display a countdown that foretells when the Digital Shift will become stable, and the Dinosaur Digimon and any others inside the Digital Shift will be able to cross over into the Real World. You must defeat the Boss before the time runs out.
Time will be held by the GM in this case.
Time Left: 55:06:26
You also unlocked the Digimon Radar now displaying many, many Digital signals, including incoming enemies approaching the door.
Consider your options what to do: Will you fight, run and try to narrow down the search. Use what you learned and find a way to stop the Digital Shift.

Adrian and Tylomon could only be silent as they absorbed the information that was given to them. So this Digital Shift is acting like a bridge between both the real and Digitial worlds, and that is the main reason why whoever's behind this could have created it. It was such a new thing for Adrian that it was like he was sent back to his seventeen-year-old self, when he was still learning about Digimon.
"This is all insane..." Adrian muttered to himself, holding his right hand onto his face in stress. Suddenly a loud beeping is heard by everyone, seeming to come from all three of the Digivices present. Looking at his left wrist-watch D-Arc, instead of the usual UI he instead just sees a series of numbers:
55:06:26
And that number was going down. It was a timer, and it showed less than an hour before what Adrian could assume to be was the invasion. "Less than an hour before hundreds of people are potentially killed," Adrian said, adding onto Zachary's "all hell breaks loose" comment.
"We need to find a way to stop this, now! We gotta go straight for the head guy himself!"
Suddenly, the timer then flipped over to a different display on Adrian's D-Arc. It was a map of what seemed to be the museum, with loads of red blips all over the place. However there was a noticeable group of blips that were going right for where the group was right now... they were about to get a lot of unwanted company soon.
Their new friend Whamon then told them to run, saying that below there was a door that could let them escape, and that he would take care of these dinos for them. While they all seemed to appreciate the offer, Tylomon didn't feel right just letting Whamon handle these dino-brains alone. "At least let us help out a little bit! ICE BLAST!"
Tylomon would then fire a cold beam of ice right at the door where the blips were crowding around, covering the door completely in ice. He would then devolve back into Shoutmon, before he and Adrian go looking for this door that Whamon had mentioned. They couldn't stop to fight all these dinos, so escape did seem like the only option. Tylomon uses "Ice Blast" on the door where the red blips are surrounding. Hopefully it will hold long enough for the others to escape, or for Whamon to perform a counter-attack.

The human and his Agumon friend were satisfied with the results from Tylomon's attack. Sealing the doors was a superb way to keep the enemies at bay. However. They did need to address Adrian's demeanor.
John moved to put a gentle hand to Adrian's shoulder, and connect with him. John saw that Adrian was starting to panic. He needed to gently remind him now was not a good time.
"Hey," he said, words filled with calm. "We need to focus, okay? I know that things may look dire. And that we're on a time limit. But rushing through this and not thinking clearly could lead us to make mistakes."
Casimeir approached, too, and gave a warm, reassuring smile. "This isn't the first time we were on a time crunch. We should hurry, but not too fast. It might be a good idea to help any Digimon we come across, too. That way they might help us against the bad guy that's behind all of this."
John crossed his arms. "Our other option is heading straight for the big bad, and potentially deal with a tough enemy. Though, Cas can always go Mega if it's absolutely necessary."
