Alucard walked through the desert following rumors of a cruel bandit hassling those traveling near the Kilobyte Oasis. He hoped it was only a rumor as somethings he heard were defiantely not fit for young ears. Yet the most intriguing thing he heard was the possibility of the bandit's strength being overblown. That didn't make such a character harmless so Alucard wasn't gonna take any unnecessary chances and advanced with caution. As he approached the oasis's waters, his white fur shining in the harsh sunlight, he stopped for a drink. He knew his fur made him stand out but could he use it to his advantage or should he find someway to camouflage himself. He would decide after resting for a bit under the tree near the water.

An oasis was hardly the kind of place Littorio would normally visit but...her partner had insisted. Lavinia apparently had some family in the radius of the Kilobyte oasis and wanted to visit them but there was the question of why. Lavinia had both insisted on Littorio accompanying her but also refused to tell her why. It was a rather curious setup really, one intriguing enough to capture Littorio’s intrigue.
“Hmmm so where exactly are your folks Lavinia my dear?” She pressed herself into the back of Lavinia, the Devildramon soaring over the expanse of sand beneath. It was rather convenient having a partner who could fly, especially given how Littorio’s motorcycle would not stand a chance driving over sand.
“Not far but we should stop at the oasis to get a drink.” Littorio tightened her grip, squeezing her partner’s torso ever so slightly as down the duo went. The Devildramon landed next to Alucard, shooting him a brief glance before ignoring him and bending down to allow Littorio to dismount.

Alucard raised his ears, the sound of an engine heard in the distance. Sitting upright, the white Lopmon soon spotted a human on a flying shadow, which turned out to be a Devidramon. He watched as the Devidramon landed and glanced at him before beginning to drink. These two were a curious sight in these parts making Alucard wonder about their intentions. If the intentions were bad it was the last thing he needed as he was already chasing down a bandit but maybe they would help out.
Alucard turned his blue eyes to the human before the aloof digimon said in a cold straightforward voice "Quite odd to find humans in these parts, heck most digimon don't come out this far. I myself wouldn't be out here if not for rumors of a bandit hassling travelers in these parts."

Littorio climbed down from her partner’s back, pitch black walking boots pressing into the sand. She stretched her limbs out, yawning to shake off the heat induced drowsiness. She looked around and, upon hearing the chattering of a certain Digimon, looked down. Her gaze rested upon the tiny rabbit Digimon before going wide with delight. They were cute….so very cute…. In a swift movement she had bent down and was gently patting the rabbit on the head, feeling their soft fur.
“Ehehehehehe. Is it really?~ I dare say it’s equally odd to find a little Digimon looking into some bandits. What level are you anyway?” As bold as she liked Littorio continued to rub her hands through Alucard’s fur, giggling to herself like a schoolgirl. She would love to own a coat or blanket made of this little guy’s fur but that would have been a little cruel. Such a cute little bundle of fur was for petting after all.
Lavinia sighed internally to herself, realising what exactly was happening. Once Littorio’s attention was grabbed it was...difficult to break it. The Devidramon simply bent down at the edge of the oasis to drink from the waters.

One of Alucard's blue eyes had developed an irritated tick at the nerve of this human who was petting him. Sure his fur was soft but he didn't appreciate a stranger petting him. He could forgive a young child but this woman was old enough to know better. Still he had to be gentle, she was a human after all and who knew how her partner would react if he attacked her.
Lifting up one of his ears he used it to push her hands away and then he stepped out of range of her hands before, in his normal cold and aloof tone despite his annoyance, said "You call me odd when I could say the same about you. Don't you know how rude it is to touch others without permission. I may be what some would consider cute but I don't appreciate being touched by strangers. As for my level, I assure you I am at a level perfectly capable of handling itself being at the rookie level. If this bandit is too strong I can just return to town. No matter how I would dislike such a creep to continue his activities I know eventually someone would defeat him.

“Rude? My my I am hurt~ You wound me with your words.” Littorio retreated from the small rabbit and sighed beneath her breath. The Italian’s lips curled into an amused smirk as she listened to the small rabbit’s insistence they could easily handle themselves vs these bandits. It was a bold claim and honestly? Littorio wished to see them carry it out. Either they would surprise her...or their arrogance would be their undoing. Both were equally amusing.
“Oh really?~ Then how about...you show me? If you’re so confident you can handle these bandits I’d love to see~” She sat down upon a nearby rock, folding one leg over the other to look down upon Alucard with an amused grin.

Rude him? If anything she was the rude one since she touched him without permission but then an amused smirk appeared on her face. It seemed she truly wasn't hurt by his words. What did she find so amusing or was she plotting something?
Now she was questioning his abilities and, to be fair, he wouldn't blame her for having her doubts. After all, though he was a holy digimon, he was still only a rookie and if the threat was a champion level or higher threat, like the girls partner, he may have to back off. However, while keeping his cool, he stood up and said "Alright, what exactly are you wanting me to do? How would I be able to prove my abilities to you in a satisfactory way?"

“Oh? I believe you misunderstand~ I am merely interested in seeing you handle these bandits by yourself. You do have a plan for that right….?” Her smirk curled into a devilish grin, eyes glinting with excitement at the prospect of watching this little rabbit of a creature suffer through fighting off higher level Digimon. It was always such a delectable experience really, that of watching people get dragged down into the pits of despair. A faint redness appeared in her cheeks as her face began to flush with blood.

Alucard snorted with amusement at the stranger's comment. He himself was not the fool she seemed to think he was. "After hearing about a bandit in the desert one would think most folks would ask if they can help. What? Do you only think of yourself?" His voice stand cool and cold despite annoyance and anger brimming within him. "As for my plan, it is a simple but hopefully effective one considering the bandit hassles travelers near this oasis." Walking closer to the water, he glanced briefly at the sand before he looked at her again and said "Since I'm a white Lopmon and clearly stick out because of my brightly colored fur, I intend to hide myself in the sand and wait for this bandit to come out of hiding."
He then looked up at her with amusement in his blue eyes before he said "Unless you think stealth is a bad idea. All I know is he comes out of hiding just after nightfall. You in or not?"

“Ask to help? Now why would I do that?” Littorio genuinely did not know why she would be expected to offer to help. These Digimon suffering at the hands of that bandit were not her friends nor was she in a position where it was her duty to protect the innocent.
“...You’re rather young aren’t you?” That would explain this little rabbit digimon’s naivety. The young often had very silly ideas about what people should do. A soft chuckle escaped from the Italian’s lips as her partner walked over. The Devidramon sat down upon the sands next to her partner, eyes wondering to rest upon Alucard.
“...Littorio should we not help? I do not see this rookie surviving the engagement.” Put it to Lavinia to take a more caring angle. Littorio turned to look up at her partner and sighed softly. She did not care for assisting this annoying little rodent but…
“If you want to help you are free to do so but...this is no business of mine and I have little reason to get involved~” Littorio flashed a sly wink towards Alucard, chuckling warmly.
“Well little rabbit, I suppose you have my partner’s assistance. Do have fun my dear.” She flashed a charming smile towards the Devidramon before stepping back to take a seat on a rock near the oasis.

With an unamused snort at Liitorio asking why she should help Alucard said "Selfish human aren't you? Do you have a concept of decency in you or is it only possibly in your partner? As for my age, I may be a rookie but I'm not as naïve as you may think. I have seen pain digimon more powerful can cause, hell I was a direct witness. For me this my journey is not just about helping others but becoming strong enough to avenge two friends. One of them being my teacher, Sangloupmon."
Ignoring Littorio's last comment he proceeded with his plan to hide himself in the sand and before he burrowed himself in he turned to the her briefly and said "Perhaps you and your partner should do your best to hide out of sight too. Though the bandit maybe strong there are other rumors that suggest other wise. Come to think of it I find it odd that most the travelers that were robbed were only rookies themselves." He then chuckled humorlessly before he continued "Maybe it was just their naïve imagination." With that the white Lopmon know as Alucard burrowed into the sand to wait for nightfall.

“You know….I would refrain from insulting me. I may not be helping you but I could easily take my partner and leave so yes, I would posit that you’re rather naive.” A cruel grin flashed across her lips as she leaned down to Alucard’s level, gently resting her hand on his head.
“Plus….” Her voice lowered in volume as she whispered into his ears, her tone transitioning into a mixture between honey soaked kindness and the cold steel of malicious intent.
“I have no reason to remain neutral in this conflict….so maybe don’t antagonise.” Littorio pulled back, a sweet smile present on her face as if everything had gone back to normal, giving Alucard a gentle pat on the head to show there was no ill will yet.
“Hmmm a good idea~ Lavinia if you’ll be a dear~” Littorio held her Digivice up, gesturing towards the Devidramon who merely sighed, before being absorbed into the Digivice. The Italian then retreated away to take up a position behind a conveniently giant rock nearby. She was not going to assist in this but….neither was she going to hinder it.

From within the improvised burrow Alucard looked back on Littorio's word with a roll of his blue eyes. 'Not only rude but she has no grasp on the concept of personal space.' He thought. 'If there was one thing she was right about though was that I shouldn't be rude to her if I want her help. Doesn't mean I have to enjoy her calling me naïve or petting me. If she witnessed what NeoMyostismon murdering Sangloupmon and Dracmon, then maybe she'd understand why I quest for power.'
As the hours passed and the sun went down footsteps were heard. Lifting his head so he could see out the burrow he saw what seemed to be a muscular form dressed in a cloak that made it seem more intimidating. Could this be the bandit? It would seem the question would answer itself as a voice came from the intimidating figure "I can't believe how easy it has been to fleece the travelers of their bits and sometimes even food. All I had to do was dress to look scarier. Then when I entered Rustport undisguised rumors took care of the rest. I can't believe how stupid digimon of various levels can be. Even though I myself only attack rookie travelers."
That was when Alucard shoved his way out of his improvised burrow and said "Perhaps you only attack rookies because, despite your appearance, you aren't exactly a champion digimon yourself." The figure spun toward Alucard as the white Lopmon continued "I'm right aren't I? The gig is up, you might as well reveal your true self."
"Very well, since I only see a mouthy white Lopmon, I guess I'll have to show you a lesson." the stranger said as dark claws came into view pulling the disguise away revealing a Gazimon X. Sure he was more intimidating in appearance than a standard Gazimon so why did he need that disguise? Could this bandit be all bark and no bite, maybe?
