Dark Lord vs Terror of the Macro Ocean Whitewater City is a large seaside city bustling with all kinds of crazy and wild activities, a common spot for vacations and tourism in the Southern Tropics side of the digital world, a perfect place to destress. chill and have some fun! Whatever you need to take a break from the day by day activities Whitewater has it. Of course much like any city there is a couple of rotten apples roaming around, specially when the city is as big as Whitewater a place who prides itself of being the second largest city in the digital world, only beaten by Terminus and everyone knows about the state of Old Terminus and it’s rotten apples. Unlike Terminus tho, Whitewater had an easy access to the sea something that interested a certain Impmon X, a self proclaimed Pirate Captain and Terror of the Macro Ocean, Jeireddin Teach also known as Captain “Red Scarf” has made Whitewater his place to set a temporal base of operations as he makes his crew grow! Teach had a fascination for the ocean and the mysteries that surrounds it, for the stories of pirates and monsters roaming around of which the famous or infamous “Grudgeful Hand” was what interest him the most, for you see the “Grudgeful Hand” was the vilest and wicked pirate crew that ever existed, so powerful no one was ever able to capture them and as swift as it appear and made it’s legend they disappeared leaving almost no trace, so much that people just started assuming that it was a rumor and the “Grudgeful Hand” was never real just a tale of the sailors to be careful while on open waters. Whether this group is real or not is none of Teach’s concern, but every tale is based on reality and IF such a crew actually existed there will be a treasure with their name somewhere and that’s something the self proclaim captain desires, a life of adventures uncovering mysteries, fortune and fame that’s what Jeireddin Teach is all about! Now that we have establish that there’s a little thing you need to know, as much as the captain talk about his goals and how terrible he can be, as of now he’s nothing but another troublemaker in Whitewater, a pirate that has never sailed nor has a ship to his name if anything, you could think of him currently as nothing but a petty thief. Teach would use his two partners in crime (A Piyomon named Anne and a Gizamon named Mary) to take advantage of dumb tourist or steal from them, and so it’s not a surprise that he is currently on the run for the latter this time, Anee has taken the skies holding a bag on her talons while Teach is on the run with another pair of bags in his hand while a group of Tuchidarumon are on their tails! As for Mary? Well she’s not a big fan of the land so she scouts the area ahead while hiding in the beach or near the seaside, so it’s normal that Teach and Anne run near water just to have the support of the Gizamon if the moment needs it, tho it seems that escaping won’t be as simple as they thought this time, but luckily the Captain saw something that could help him. As he ran past a human accompanied by two digimon (a Black Guilmon and the important one an Impmon) he threw both bags he was holding and said “Catch!” hopefully the imp will caught said bags and if he peeks inside he would find slices of bread, meat apples and a couple of vegetables, and as soon as he threw the bags the Impmon X would turn into a corner follow by the flying Piyomon Definitely an odd encounter and some would just shrug and continue with their day, but unfortunately for the trio this day wasn’t going to be as peaceful as they might have hoped, popping her head out of the water the Gizamon would scream “Look! There’s the impmon thief! It’s hiding with the tall monkey and the Black Guilmon!” and immediately submerge back The clueless Tuchidarumon who just lost the captain immediately turned to the trio and shouted “Stop in the name of the law!” Now, how would this trio react to such weird and fast chain of events, will they explain it to the officers or will they go on the run too?

No matter how many days passed, no matter how many times they travelled between the two worlds, the trio of partners always seemed to come back to Whitewater.
How could they not? Slowly but surely the beach city had been turning into their usual hanging out spot: the warm weather and close-by sea, coupled with the many stores and places to visit within it made it the perfect place for the three, it had a little bit of everything to keep them happy. If not, then that's where most of their missions seemed to be coming from lately.
Such was the case right now, as Carlos and the twins found themselves casually loitering by the side of the street, taking a well deserved break after their last endeavour. They weren't really contemplating what they would be doing later, simply content to enjoy eachother's company in a relatively quiet moment among themselves. Well, as quiet as being in the middle of a city street could be.
That was all about to change however, as a purple blur of a digimon rushed past the trio, a voice comanding them to "catch" something as it happened.
"Wha-" The imp could barely register what happened before he found himself smacked face first by a flying object, the impact making him reel back and throw his hands up, instinctually trying to grab the now falling object without really thinking about it. As soon as it fell into his hands however, he focused his still blurry gaze onto the escaping mon. From what little he or the others could see in the commotion they could tell it was probably another impmon. Small world, though the indignant Dark Lord was too busy voicing his anger to care about that. "HEY! Watch where you throw your garbage, peasant!"
"You alright, dude?" The man asked, his gaze finally looking away from the escaped digimon and back to his injured(?) partner.
"Yeah, more surprised than anything." Dio said with a shrug, as he finally took a glance at what had been thrown in his direction: a rather nondescript bag. The black guilmon sniffed it a bit before shoving his head inside with curiosity. Bread, apples, and some other assorted vegetables. Nothing particularly interesting really.
"Food? Why would they throw it away?" He pondered as he took his head out, and before anyone of them could answer, they soon got their answer. A voice from the water singling the trio out, and a bunch of Tuchidarumon quickly rushing at them while yelling something about the law.
It didn't take long for them (that is to say, everyone but Gio) to quickly piece everything together. This was a setup. They turned to look and sure enough, the other impmon was long gone.
"La puta madre..." The man cursed, quickly taking the bag off the impmon's hands and getting on his feet. "Let's just...deal with this now. We have nothing to hide, it's just all a big misunderstanding. I rather not get banned from entering yet another city so let's just try to be civil."
"And if it doesn't work?" Dio asked somewhat pessimistically.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there." With that he'd wait for the Tuchidarumons to be closer, before reaching his hand out with the bag, trying to put the most amicable smile on his as he could, trying to hide his concern. "Hey there. I'm guessing someone just stole this from you?"

Teach couldn't believe his luck, it's not often that you meet another impmon when you are on the run and that you can put the blame on, sure he is an Impmon X and he looks different of a normal impmon but still if he knows something is that the Tuchidarumon officers aren't the brightest digimon around.
So the plant was simple, drop the stolen food, put the blame on him and run to the hideout, easy, right? Well that was the idea until he heard the other imp calling him "Peasant", he was so close to to turn around and call him out but he had to take the Tuchidarumon out of his back so he kept running, tho Teach stood around seeing the scene unfold, he was going to drop this impmon off his high horse for sure.
The officers got closer to the trio looking suspicious at the Impmon, they weren't sure if it was the same they were chasing but let's be fair he was small, purple and wear a red scarf much like the one they were looking for (then again it's not like there are many different impmons around).
"Well yes, we were on the chase of that ruffian that calls himself captain" Said one of the officers and took the bag from Carlos's hand
"He is small, purple and wears a red scarf, just like your friend over there" Said the second Tuchidarumon bending over and squinting at Dio "How can be sure it's not you Teach? It wouldn't be the first time you play fool with us" He then look at Carlos and Gio "Blink twice if this scoundrel has you working for him against your will" Very subtle there officer
By this point the trio would understand the amazing brain power of these two, well it means they could talk their way out right? Normally would be the case but even if they tried to explain things there is one they would never saw coming.
"There you are Captain!" A Piyomon wearing a red scarf flew around and landed on Carlos's head and spoke looking at Dio "Are these our new recruits?" She spoke softly with an innocent tone, was she playing fool or actually mistaking Dio? Who knows "Oh? The officers are here, guess gonna fish my friend and go back to our home!"
With that said the Piyomon flew to the sea side and grab the Gizamon who sell them out by one of the spines on the back and made a swift retreat, the Gizamon also wearing a red scarf like the bird and waving at them and smiling mischievously.
As for the officers they were looking angry and ready to jump at the imp in any second, it would be a nice moment to start running, but would they give chase to the bird and aquatic digimon or just try to outrun the offcers? Or would they just give themselves and explain things?
One thing was for sure tho, no matter what they chose they would be able to hear an almost arrogant laugh not too far from were they where, looks like someone was having fun with the situation the dorks were having

"As much as I like the sound of that title, I'm afraid you got the wrong person, officer. I'm no captain, but a humble Dark Lord. Easy mistake, I'm sure, but I'm willing to let it slide this time." The imp calmly replied to the officer, chest puffed out as if filled by the ego and dignity he was practically exuding at this moment.
Carlos rolled his eyes before turning to the police mon. Despite these Tuchidarumon clearly not being the sharpest tools in the shed, he knew he had to tread lightly. Angering or otherwise upsetting any officer of the law was a surefire way for a bad time, regardless of country, etnicity and in this case even world.
"You have it all wrong officer. I think the guy you were looking for just passed through here."
"And his name is Dio! Not Teach!" Gio added, sounding almost indignant for a change. Their very compelling attempt for a defense would swiftly be interrupted and ruined by a completely unexpected factor however. A scarf wearing Piyomon descended next to the group and adressed Dio by the name of Captain.
To say they were all too dumbfounded to even object or correct her would be an understatement, and by the time any of them figured what was going on she was already flying away with a Gizamon in tow whose smug expression pretty much confirmed their every suspicion.
"Uh..." Both the man and imp looked back at the officers somewhat nervously. The damage was already done, there was no way they could talk their way out of this, at least not fast enough to keep them from being detained. While Carlos would have otherwise not have cared for being detained for a crime he could easily prove they were innocent of, Gio and Dio had...other things in mind.
Well, at least Gio did, as without saying another word he took a hold of his brother and threw him with all his strenght at the escaping bird, the imp not even having time to yell something foul at his brother before he was sent flying. Unfortunately, while Gio had four times the strenght of his brother, he had about half his accuracy. While the imp was fairly close to colliding with the piyomon he soon found himself falling face first into the salty water below with a loud and painful splash. Luckily his head soon emerged above the waves, coughing out some water as he tried to get back his bearings.
Carlos didn't even think twice and seeing his chance also grabbed a hold of the black lizard. Despite his considerable size and weight that barely slowed down the man now that his fight or flight reflexes had finally kicked into full gear as he too jumped into the sea with his partner in tow, hoping his lacking swimming skills would still be good enough to outrun the rather dumb arm of the Law.
Soon enough the trio would be now back together, floating on the wavy water a decent distance away from shore.
"What's your damage, you dumbass?! You could have at least warned me before you pulled that!" The impmon spat in annoyance, glaring at the black guilmon.
"S-sorry, I thought I could get them, a-and maybe then they could tell the officers we didn't do anything..." The black lizard apologized with a frown.
Now that the adrenaline was finally starting to wear off and he could think a bit more clearly, the man took a quick glance back at the shore. "Well, we can't really go back there now. Will be kinda hard to prove our innocence after bailing like that..." He said, giving a sighed that was halfway between annoyance and repentance.
"Screw our innocence! I demand retribution!" He proclaimed, looking back up at the pink feathered bird as he began swimming after it, a determined spark in his angry gaze. "I'll have that bird's hide for the shit she pulled."
The other two followed after, both knowing there was no talking him out of this and also wanting some kind of answers as to how they had even gotten involved into this dumb situation to begin with.

The duo of bird and frog were making their escape leaving the unfortunate imp and his group in a tight position, no matter what they tried to do they'll have the officers on their back, just as the captain expected, but shifting the blame wasn't going to be enough, nah, the captain wanted to play a bit with this imp, so if they managed to make an escape Ann had orders to fly low and make sure they follow them.
As the Piyomon flew away she turn around one second to see were the trio was and the only thing she saw is the imp flying at Yggdrassil only knows what speed and passing right above them making the bird losing her balance and almost dropping to the floor with the Gizamon
"What the hell was that?"
"I think it was the imp.... You OK there?"
"Yeah... Just a bit surprised, so we're going back to the hideout?"
"Yep, but we need them to follow us , orders from the captain!"
The Gizamon sighed after hearing that, of course the captain wanted those dorks in their hideout, of course it wouldn't be as simple as just go home, eat and nap, no he had to go out of his way to prove a point or something, well at least it seemed that it was going to be an easy task.
The Piyomon flew around in circles where the Impmon landed and waited for his partners to get close and she started flying south, laying lower and lower enough for the trio to keep an eye on her but not enough for them to try and catch her, and then the Gizamon just had an idea just to make sure they keep following them, she ask Anne to fly even lower to the point that she was almost face to face with the impmon
"Hey there cutie~" Said the Gizamon with an expression of smugness "Guess you couldn't resist the charming aura of two ladies, too bad you're messing with the wrong duo" Then the Gizamon took a deep breath and release a stream of hot water right in the face of the imp "Alright Anne, I had my fun, you can go up again"
"I'm sorry, she can be a bit mean but it's just in playful manner, she doesn't mean it for real" The bird apologize before rising back to the skies above
After a couple of minutes flying they would finally leave thethe city behind, still flying around the coast they reach what it looked like a small cabin made of wood and palm tree leaves, there was also a small wooden pier and tied with a rope to said pier a small wooden raft, finally there was a somewhat tall wooden structure that looked like a tower.
Once they reach this place the bird drop the Gizamon in the water and she perched a top of the tower and started looking around, Gizamon on the other hand fully submerge in the water and carefully waited their "guests" she had no idea what the captain wanted but if they try something funny she was ready for it

Had his judgment not been clouded by a red mist of anger and contempt, Dio might have suspected the Piyomon was flying awfully low for someone making a getaway. If they were leading them into a trap, he certainly didn't notice or didn't seem to care. The other two were too preocupied trying to follow after the imp and staying afloat to interject with anything, though that thought occured to Carlos on more than one ocassion.
"Huh?" Dio practically stopped in his tracks as the bird lowered awfully close to them and the Gizamon she was carrying adressed them, saying something about her lady like charms or something else to that extent. He didn't get much time to process this before he was met face first with a jet of hot water, pushing him back a bit and even making his head be submerged underwater for an agonizing second or two. By the time he came back to the surface gasping and coughing his face would have turned even redder, not just from the water but from sheer rage. "You freaking-I'll make you pay! PAY!" He practically screamed in abject anger and indignation, his swimming becoming more fast and frantic.
Clearly he didn't care about the possibility of a trap anymore. He wanted vengeance, plain and simple.
"Dio, are you-" Carlos asked in concern, but was quickly interruped by the furious words of the impmon.
"I will be fine when I get my hands on that ugly reptile!"
"Well, don't let her get to you." The man added, but Dio didn't reply, too focused building up energy on his arm as he prepared a small energy ball to throw at the duo. "Or do, I guess." Needless to say, trying to hit a flying target while swimming was far easier said than done, so it wasn't surprising to see how his projectile veered off course and completely missed both Anne and Mary. The imp predictably let out an annoyed, agitated sound that could only be describred as a misture between a groan, a hiss and a foul curse, before he put his focus back on swimming afterwards.
Carlos and Gio exchanged a concerned look, but knew better than to even try to say anything. Soon enough the three would reach the shore housing a small wooden cabin and tower that most likely served as the duo's hideout. In trying to keep afloat they had lost track of both Piyomon and Gizamon, but they knew they had to be somewhere close. For now however they focused on getting to shore, the trio practically falling to their knees on the sandy beach, coughing and trying to get their breath back. Dio was the first one to get back on his feet, his breath still rapid and agitated from exhaustion and anger, yet his body moving as if fueled by sheer determination.
"Now...if I was an ugly lizard, where would I hide?" He pondered, venom dripping from his wounds as his eyes glanced at the little cabin.
Carlos would have objected, but frankly they had come too far at this point to just head back the way they came from, so he decided to humor Dio for a bit longer despite his increasing annoyance at his partner's short temper.
"Careful, they're probably luring us into a trap."
"I know." The imp nodded, before he snapped his fingers, a flicker of fire coming from his hand as a small fire sphere formed on his index finger. "I wasn't planning on going inside." He smirked, a malicious glint in his eyes as he looked down at the small fire, then back at the wooden cabin.
"Arson? Really?" Carlos said, more incredulous than worried. He didn't really think Dio would be capable of such a level of wanton destruction, but then again he hadn't seen him this angry in a long time.
"Well maybe if they come out and grovel before the Dark Lord, I might show mercy." The imp added smugly, raising his voice so that anyone else in the area would be able to hear him. Surely that would help ruffle some feathers.

Well it seemed that they lost them, or at least that's what they thought, Mary just swim around under water making sure nothing gets near their "Ship" but nothing come around, maybe the dorks give up? Well for the frog it would seem like that. but for the bird perched in her watchtower she would see the trio barely reach the shore and catch their breath
Probably they didn't see her on top as the impmon started screaming at the top of his lungs, normally Anne wouldn't care and remain on her tower until the captain arrived, but seeing that the impmon had a flame on his hand and was looking at their small home the bird knew she had to do something and fast!
"Halt!" She flew down from the watchtower and landed between the cabin and the imp "I'll ask you nicely please don't burn our home, I don't think harmless pranks can be compared to leaving others with no place to stay"
Although in a normal circumstance dialogue could work, with how angry the imp was it probably wouldn't listen to her and with no sight of Mary who probably wouldn't have heard anything being underwater, and the captain wasn't around, she had only one choice to pacify them
"OK, I guess I have no choice!" She said taking a battle stance, the trio would notice this was not a digimon used to fight as she didn't show a look of determination and her legs were shaking, but looks could be deceiving, fighting not always means going physical
Taking a deep breath the Piyomon started chirping whimsically and dancing around, for Carlos it would extremely odd but if he look at his partners he might see them falling over for the dancing bird, her cute chirping can pacify even the angriest of Rookies, at least they shouldn't attack her and this way she has bought time.
After a couple of minutes Carlos would be able to hear a mad cackling coming from behind and when he turn he would meet another Impmon, but this one was different than Dio, he was taller, had a long scarf, a blue glove and black sclera in one of his eyes, the other was covered by a patch.
The Imp was laughin while carrying the bags they drop before, laughter that was made louder the moment he saw the trio in their place, his crew really rub the wrong way this group and he couldn't be more proud of that, well only one thing to do.
"Well ahoy there, mates" The imp salute, tho hard to tell how much they would listen while under the effects of the chirping "I didn't expect you to have the stamina to swim all the way here, specially when you two have fire afinnity and the other is just a human, you did well Anne, grab this bags and go make something for Lunch" He said walking by the trio and giving the bags to the Piyomon
Before giving all the food on the bags he picked up a fish from there and toss it to the water and quickly the Gizamon emerged and ate it, she then walked to the shore to reunite with the rest
"Man... They really did follow us here?" The frog started laughing "You guys aren't that bright, are ya?"
"I know right? Any case, let's go straight to the point, I'm feeling nice after the laugh I got from you guys and seeing that you're one of my kind I'll make a quick exception and let you apologize for calling the captain Peasant, we'll eat some sandwiches and cookies and you may go" The pirate imp said with a proud expression on his face "Tho make it quickly, the sight of the human may make me change my mind"

It didn't take long for someone to heed Dio's threats, as the Piyomon from before landed in front of the trio, looking slightly frightened but ready enough to defend her place. Dio merely chuckled, clearly not taking her seriously. "Heh, don't worry little bird. If you ask nicely enough then maybe I won't burn your house down."
"Easy there..." Carlos said, trying to calm him down, before surprisingly enough it was the Piyomon that did the first move. Well, moves, as she began singing and doing a little dance in place, not really doing much other than look cute, really. He would ask what she was trying to accomplish, until he finally noticed his partner's reactions.
Dio was now too busy staring at the piyomon...or at least in her general direction, his gaze looking as if it was lost looking into the distance, his body slowly rocking back and forth vaguely following her movements.
"Dude, snap out of it!" Carlos said, kneeling down next to him and shaking him around some. No dice, he was too deep into this weird trance to even hear him. As for Gio well...he would quite literally be lying on his back in front of the bird, looking up at her with eyes filled of childlike adoration, looking not unlike a dog waiting for his owner to give him something, down to even wagging his tail back and forth.
"Figures." Carlos just shook his head and sighed. At the very least the bird didn't seem like she could harm them while in this state, so not much he could do at that moment except sit and wait, it seemed. Well, that or try and take on the bird, but he really wanted to de escalate things if at all possible. After a while of waiting a somewhat familiar laugh would make itself heard as another impmon appeared in front of them. In fact, it was the very same impmon from a while ago, there was no mistaking him!
Luckily by now the bird's alluring charm would be wearing off, the imp slapping himself a bit to regain his senses while Gio...kept staring at her longingly, or at least expectantly, seemingly not really caring that he had somehow changed places without noticing. Dio didn't really notice or cared, too focus staring at the newly arrived impmon with a dumbfounded expression. To say his first impression was a mixed one would be an understatement. On the one hand, this was the reason they had been put into a bad place with the law and his underlings had just humilliated him not once but thrice now. On the other, he had to admit, he had a certain style Dio couldn't help but respect. The eyepatch, the longer scarf, the self assured look of superiority, it was all Dio would aspire to have for his own, really!
But he wasn't about to start complimenting him on his style after that pompous introduction.
"Excuse me...I think there's a misunderstanding here. Or maybe you're delirious because of the salt water. But as far as I can tell, I'm the one with actual royal titles, therefore it should be YOU who's apologizing to us for making us put up with such an obnoxious waste of time. But if you offer me some of those sandwiches as tribute, I might consider letting you all go with a warning." He said, chest practically puffing out, looking down at them with an incredibly scornful look. Though said look only grew more annoyed at those last words. "Hmph, I know he might not look like much but this human travels with both of the Dark Lords, so you'll do well to know your place and adress him with the same respect as you would me."
Carlos looked at his partner, giving him a small but sincere smile. It was a bit smug sure, but it was nice to see Dio somewhat standing up for him for a change. "Look, I know it might not seem that way but we don't want any more trouble. Can't we just talk things out a bit?" He said, not really wanting things to get worse because of his partner's unchecked ego.

Dio sure doesn't know how to take a hint does he? The captain is in a good mood and offers him a chance to apologize and leave peacefully and he takes it as the captain owes him something and even has the guts to tell him to know his place? The expression of the captain went from amused to serious to slowly boiling with anger
What about the Gizamon? Well her smile was getting bigger and bigger the more the imp talked and she fall on her side and started laughing once Dio finish, she hadn't seen an ego like this aside from the captain, maybe is an impmon thing? Anycase the one thing she was sure is that she wanted a first row sit for this
"Man you sure talk a lot for someone small, so what's gonna be cap?" The frog said looking at the captain once her laughing fit stopped
"Go and stay with the human, grab something to eat when Anne comes back, Mr Dark Lord an I need to talk" The captain's tone and attitude had change, from an overconfident joyful digimon to a cold serious one, it seems that Dio push a button he shouldn't have
"Alrighty" Gizamon hop past Dio with a big smile on her face and then sit next to Carlos "Mind if I sit here? Hey gotta ask, is your pet always this easilyt triggered?" She asked looking at the human with the smuggest of smiles
It didn't took long for the bird to go back outside with a tray full of sandwiches which she offered to the Guilmon, the Human and Mary, she then stood there watching the next scene unfold before offering one to the Impmon
"Alright listen here mr Dark Lord, as I said I was in a good mood but your rambling and poor choice of words have make that good mood to banish" He started walking towards Dio, flicking his sharp tail as he walked "First ast time I checked being a Tamed one wasn't a royal title, unless being a pet and thinking about it as a noble title is your way of coping with your weakness and a way to make the meatbag valuable to you" The captain stop in front of Dio looking down on him thanks to the height difference, he then grab Dio by the scarf and lift him so they could meet eye to eye "Secondly if anyone needs to know his place is you, you're on my turf now, I decided to treat you like a guest but you come high and might so might as well treat you like an intruder, I am the one that rules this place, understood?" He drop the imp back to the ground and make a sign to the Piyomon to get closer and offer him food"This is your last chance, grab the food and leave or Captain Jeireddin Teach will make you live your worst nightmare"
The Piyomon would extend the tray of food closer to Dio and wait for him to pick the sandwich with a smile, would Dio be intimidated by the captain's words and grab the sandwich or will he double down and stand his ground?

As Dio kept droning on and on as he was one to do, and Teach's expression kept souring and souring, Carlos couldn't help but bring his palm to his face, letting out an inaudible but incredibly exhasperated groan. He didn't know what was more frustrating, how his partner was slowly but surely ruining their shot at a peaceful resolution or how there was nothing he could say to mend it.
After Mary asked him that question though he simply glared at her for a moment, measuring what kind of response he should give her. Yes, he was probably expected to back up his friend's big talk, but frankly the man's patience towards both him and this situation was slowly waning.
"Sometimes." He admitted shaking his head in annoyance, before firing right back at her, "Is your captain this much of a pompous prick all the time or just towards people he doesn't know?"
Dio meanwhile just gave the laughing gizamon (and for a short moment, Carlos) a snide glance, but turned his attention back to the "captain". In his mind he didn't see his words as being that harsh, and maybe to some extent he was still hoping for a reasonable response...but he would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy getting on this smug Impmon's nerves to some extent. It was only as the eyepatch wearing buffoon walked in his direction that he finally was able to tell the size difference. It wasn't enough to intimidate him, but he still took a mental note of it in case things were to escalate. What the Dark Lord certainly didn't expect was for him to lift him up by the scruff of his scarf, his feet dangling the ground ever so slightly. It took all of Dio's mental fortitude not to take advantage of his situation to kick him where the sun didn't shine, or maybe it was just that he was too busy fuming in anger at both this rather denigrating situation and the impmon's belittling words.
Pet. Tamed one. It was clear what this imp thought of his partner and more importantly, what he thought of Dio. He kept silent as the verbal beatdown continued, but his sneering frown and burning eyes conveyed more than what any word could. In the short span of a couple moments he had gone from merely feeling apathy and anger towards the other imp, to full blown hatred.
By the time he was put back down on the ground he simply glared back at the impmon x, an emotionless look in his eyes as he glanced at the piyomon offering a sandwich. He looked behind him to see his brother happily munching on one as well, not a single care in the world. Carlos meanwhile looked back at him, an unsure look in his brown eyes. He didn't do anything other than shaking his head, as if begging him not to do anything rash.
The imp turned back to face at his taller "equal", staring silently for a moment more before reaching out to grab one of the sandwiches offered by the pink bird. He took a bite out of it and munched for a bit, giving a satisfied nod. He had to admit, those were some good sandwiches.
As soon as he did so however, he took a quick step forward and thrusted his entire weight forward, his head smashing against the other impmon's face. There was a moment of silence as Carlos looked at the scene, mouth ajar in shock, before Dio spoke again.
"Nightmare? Your turf? Pet?" He repeated, rubbing the side of his head that had just been used as a blunt instrument. "I've faced demons that wielded the power of storms in their fingertips. I fought against creatures that defy explanation to both humans and digimon. I met and killed a god reborn in the darkest reaches of the Dark Area...you think you can simply scare me away? You think I'll just sit down like a good boy while I hear you disparage about both me and my friend?" He said, his word growing in intesinty and volume with every new example until he was practically screaming his lungs out, rage pouring out of every single word. "You imbecile. Come on! Show me what's so great about you, captain! I'll be sure to write it on your tombstone when I'm done with you!"
He readied his stance, bringing his now flaming clenched fists closer to his face. He knew there was no coming back from this, but he didn't care. He was done with diplomacy.

The Gizamon laugh at the answer of the Human, she was expecting to him to defend his "friend" but eneded up giving her the reason, she did not expect to ask back about the captain at which point the frog just laugh once again and nodded as if agreeing with him
"He kinda is, mostly with analog people, he's not fond of you kind, you know?" Said Mary looking at Carlos then looking back at the imps talking "But at the same time, talking is the best way to get to know someone, y'know? Like the cap is right now analyzing your partner and he's playing into it without knowing, I'm not the kind that enjoys fighting but I'll be honest if your pet is dumb enough to fall for it it's definitely going to be an interesting turn of events" As she finish saying that Mary started laughing again
The Piyomon smile as the impmon grab the sandwich, it meant that things could be solve without fighting, and even the captain gave a smile, the so call dark lord seemed to be smarter than what he look, after all it's not a smart idea to look for a fight in foreign territory.
"Glad you accept it, we c─" Before the captain could finish his sentence he felt the big head of the smaller impmon hitting him right in the face.
He fall backwards into the sand as he didn't expect the sudden attack, Anne was so shock her beak was open in surprise and she let the plate with sandwiches fall to the ground, Mary on the other hand stop laughing for once, in any other situation that would've been hilarious and she was expecting a fight to ensue but sucker punching (or headbutting) the captain like this was sure enough to piss him and takes things a bit more serious.
"I guess no one taught you to pick your fights carefully" Said the captain dusting himself and standing up "You want a fight, you got one, BUT let's make it a one on one fight, that means no help of your friend nor your owner, if one of them so much try to interfere my crew will take care of them"
As Teach finish his sentence Mary took the chance to release a stream of water to Carlos and Gio, much like the that time with Dio it wasn't an attack too powerful, if anything annoying "Alright, nothing personal, orders are orders, I'll explain things here, if anyone of you decide to help I'll give you an electric shock, I don't need to tell you that water is a nice conductor of electricity, right? So be smart and let the dorks fight it out"
"And I uhm... Gonna get more food!" The Piyomon leave and went back into the Cabin
"I give you a chance and you made your decision, you better entertain me now, Pet" Teach grinned as he has studied enough the ego of this impmon, now he had to make sure his bond with the human doesn't get in the way of the fight, divide and conquer "Of course, unless you are all talk and can't handle yourself without your owner" The thing of people with huge egos is that one can easily taunt them to make mistakes, in this case make sure he'll refuse any kind of help from his human
Now that Teach has already planted that seed, he needs to make a quick plan on to how adress this fight, normally he would shrug this as an easy match because there's no way a tamed mon could go toe to toe with a normal digimon, but Dio has anger the captian to the point of wanting to take this seriously, and so he will show the imp the true meaning of fear, however how would he do it? He needs to get closer but that would be too obvious, he might have to fight a bit and hopefully fall in the right spot at the right moment, oh well let's see how things go!
"Here comes!" Raising his right arm he pointed the light blue glove towards Dio and release a gale of freezing wind, of course Dio would have the chance to avoid as the captain literally shout "Here comes" but there is a follow up, whether Dio dodge out of the way or not the captain made a quick move with his left arm throwing a blaze of flames in the general direction of the imp

"Analog? Clever." Carlos rolled his eyes, though deep down he had to admit calling non digital beings that was somewhat amusing if nothing else. Far more amusing than whatever was happening to them at the moment, every second that the two imps interacted the more he expected it would come to trading blows. He couldn't blame Dio for it, but truth be told he really didn't want things to escalate even more. He gave the gizamon a slight glare when she too reffered to Dio as a mere pet, but didn't say anything, too busy silently praying for his partner to not fall for this stupid pissing contest.
And for a fleeting moment it seemed like that was the case, Dio was accepting the sandwich, he wasn't raising his voice, huh, maybe things could be solved peacefully after all and then Dio headbutted the captain.
There was a quiet, awkward silence between Carlos and Gio as they witnessed their one chance at a peaceful resolution being thrown to the ground like Anne's sandwiches. Next thing he knew before he got a chance to get up and drop kick his partner across the face for letting his ego run wild again he found himself being pushed back himself by a torrent of warm water to the face. He glared daggers at Mary as she pretty much threatened them into not interfering with the fight, something Carlos wouldn't have done anyways at this point.
If Dio wanted a fight so freaking much then he could have it at this point, the man wasn't going to participate on this pissing contest willingly. Gio though seemed a bit more hesitant to not run straight for his brother's aid but surely he wouldn't need the help, right? He was strong! He didn't need him to deal with a single rookie.
As for Dio? He could only smirk smugly at how angry the captain seemed over his moment of defiance. Frankly that made it all worth it, but he wasn't nearly done with him. Not by a long shot.
That said, what was this idiot thinking, loudly announcing his attack to the world like that? Dio had to stop himself from scoffing as he dodged to the side, deftly avoiding Teach's freezing wind, before resuming his run. Or at least he tried to, before being met with a facefull of flames for his trouble. He hissed as he reeled back for a moment, one hand trying to dust the embers away from his face while also shielding it from any further attacks. It hurt like a bitch, but the fact he had fell for such a cheap trick hurt more.
"Sneaky bastard..." Well if Teach wanted to fight dirty, he too could play at that game. As he rushed forward again, he'd dig his heel into the soil below as he got closer to the captain, before kicking in his direction, a cloud of dust and sand being flung at the other impmon's face just as Dio doubled down with a flaming fist aimed at his stomach.

Teach smirk as his faint attack worked just as he expected, he is a captain normally he won't fight that's what the crew is for but this is a personal matter now and while he might not be the most experienced digimon out there, he knows that this imp is impulsive and easy to anger if one pushes his ego far, so taunting him and make him made mistakes by charging directly at him would be an advantage, you know what they say "Do not fight hard, fight smart"
"Ya really fell for the oldest trick on the book? So much for a dark lord" He taunted and waited to see Dio's next move
Of course the one thing he did not expect was for Dio to play dirty by throwing sand into his face, he surely must be thinking that Teach has only one eye but he's incredibly wrong if that's the case, if things weren't bad already the imp follow it with a flaming punch to the stomach that push the captain away, credit when credit is due it was a nice approach to help him lower his guard and land a nice hit but this was far from over, the captain stood up and play the "blind" card using his right hand to throw a cold breeze towards were "Dio" was, in reality he miss by a few inches but he did accomplishe something and that was creating an ice trail in the sand which the captain would quickly jump and skate on it to close the gap between him and Dio.
As he got close to the imp general position he would make a quick 360 spin to hit the Dark Lord with his tail and throw him to the sand, whether the move hit or not the captain would be behind Dio and showing his back to the group, he would wait for Dio to either stand up or turn to see him face to face and when he did the dark lord would see an interesting surprise.
"You are wrong if thinking that sand in one of my eyes is going to stop me, watch closely as this is my real good eye" The Impmon X said removing the patch on his right eye, at first it didn't look out of the ordinary it was exactly as the other black sclera and maybe the major difference being that instead of green it was red, but if Dio stare at it long enough he would start to feel a dread sensation, a cold chill crawling up his back.
This was Teach's secret weapon "The Eye of Terror" as he calls it, if one stares into his eye long enough they will start having hallucinations about the one thing they fear the most, the effect is extremely short and pulling it more than once is rare as after the first time the other person would be smart to avoid making direct eye contact, but sometimes that is enough to turn the tables
And while that battle was developing the bird got back from the little cabin to the group carrying a plate of cookies to offer this time, it's the only thing she can do for now as involving herself in a battle of the Captain without permission could end up with her being yell at, and to be honest she also wants no hard feelings with the other two that did not chose to fight
"This have chocolate chips, please don't hate us the captain has a bit of a temperament" Said the bird giving the cookies to both the Black Guilmon and the human
"Hey, if it helps in a way, just say the word and I may be able to stop this fight" Commented the Gizamon with a smug grin on her face looking at the human, "I'm sure you don't want your "friend" hurt and I don't want my captain being an even bigger obnoxious digimon than he already is, of course it won't be free but I'm sure we can reach a nice deal if we talk things"

"You can say that again." The imp mockingly replied as his little sand trick seemingly worked as intended. Talk about the oldest trick in the book, at this rate it felt like they might would even start to resort to banana peels out of sheer pettiness. As the other impmon tried to retaliate with an ice blast that missed by a mile, Dio couldn't help but chuckle a bit. Rather than take the advantage he seemed more content to enjoy seeing the captain be knocked down a peg, revelling in getting his turn to grind someone's ego to dust for a change. "What, got something on your eye, you one eyed freak?"
"It's not your fault, Dio can be like that too." The guilmon meanwhile shrugged, taking a munch of the cookie the bird offered him without much of a care in the world, seemingly just as done with Dio getting himself into trouble as Carlos. I mean they were offering them food! What was the point of holding a grudge at this point?
It was pretty telling that as soon as the smug reptile offered Carlos an easy out, he'd just shrug as well. "Why? For he to tell me off because I "stripped him of his glory" or something stupid like that? No thanks." He said, even putting on a mockingly screechy voice to try and mimick Dio's chronically indignant tone. Once again, it was clear if he had gotten himself in that mess, then the imp was to get himself out.
And speaking of messes, the imp would soon find what a mistake he made as that wannabe pirate would slide away on his newly made ice trail to try and flank him. Damn it, why would nobody ever let him gloat?! He managed to take a step back at the last second, narrowly avoiding being slapped by his oponent's tail. He barely registered what came from Teach's mouth after as summoned a dagger of black flames on his palm before he rushed him again.
He barely registered the fact his foe had more than a single eye glaring back at him, too focused on stabbing with his blade right through the imp. And right through it went, Dio's entire body literally going through the pirate, as if striking a literal cloud of smoke.
"What the f-" He barely exclaimed, confused as he turned back, only to see his oponent wasn't there anymore. Nor was...anything there. The formerly blue and sunny sky had been replaced with a pitch black nothing, not even a single star to be seen. The ground still felt very much like sand but it looked just as dark as the sky above. There was nothing around him. Just an endless void. No Teach. No crew. Not even Carlos and Gio.
"Come out coward! Face me!" Dio yelled at the void, or at least tried to, but no words left his mouth. In fact he couldn't make a single noice, no matter how hard he strained his throat. Even his steps on the sandy ground were completely silent. He could feel his breathing slowly getting faster but...could he? He certainly couldn't hear it anymore. He barely could hear his own thoughts at this point. It wasn't complete silence, it was like there was a louder sound completely obscuring everything else. Except that sound was silence.
No. It wasn't silence. It was purring.
"N-no." The voiceless imp mouthed. "I'm...not falling again for that. I'm...stronger." He said, uncombinced of his own words. A burning pain seared into his neck, forcing him down on his knees. Not again...
"I don't need saving."
...of course in reality things were considerably less dramatic than that, as all Teach and the rest of the group would see would be Dio just...still. His gaze stuck staring the horizon looking at nothing in particular, his face frozen in a completely emotionless grimace.
This wasn't normal, and even Carlos could see that. Was he going to intervene? Not yet obviously, but it was enough to make him finally look away from his cookie and back to the fight happening in front of them.

Aside from the fact that the captain and another impmon were entangled in a fight for the other two digimon the day was going pretty good, Anne was happy they weren't blaming them for this and Mary was just enjoying teasing the human, admittedly the fact that he barely reacted to her "deal" was disappointing to say the least but she can't blame her after all she'd do the same in his place if it was the Captain.
"I feel you, Impmon's and their egos are really something, am I right?" She raise one of her legs kinda like expecting a hi five from the human
As for the captain he just stood watching with amusement the expression of the so called "Dark Lord", he put back the patch on his eye and turn to look at the crowd watching the fight, he let out an amused chuckle before pointing to Carlos and Gio dropping a simple question
"Do any of you two know what the strongest emotion is?" Of course this was rhetorical as he was going to answer himself after a small pause "It's Fear. You see one can live a life without knowing true love, without ever feeling anger, without having an ounce of determination, but unlike the rest of the emotional spectrum Fear is something everyone has, deep down we all are afraid of something and when faced against true fear is when we show our true nature"
"Oh boy here comes the speech, in that case I'm going to get some drinks" Said the Piyomon going back into the cabin since it seems that their guest will be staying for a couple more minutes
Where did Teach was going with this tho? For what Anne said it seems that is common for the impmon X to go on about this on regular basis but there must be reason aside from gloating, right? Well yes, while by now it was obvious that the human wasn't interfering with their fight he wanted to assure the "divide and conquer" strategy and he would do it by "exposing" the weakness their "bond" created.
"There are two primal instincts everyone has when scared of something either fight or flight, but just look at your pet he froze! He's so weak he can't even move! And you know who's fault is that?" He didn't even wait for the answer and immediately pointed an accusatory finger at Carlos "You, you and your so called bonds and friendship have made him go soft! He's weak because he needs your help to fight and evolve, this is why I call him a pet just like one when you put them in a situation they should be able to handle they cower in fear looking for their owners to help them rather than fight it themselves, this so called dark lord wouldn't last one day in the wilder areas of the digital world"
And then without breaking eye contact with Carlos just savor the moment even more the captain use his harpoon like tail to stab Dio on the chest, that should be the end of it or at least that's what the captain expects, he has play his cards and rub salt on a wound he inflicted himself if the fight continues it is extremely probably that he will have complications but with how things have gone so far he predicts an easy way out of this fight, the only real problem is not knowing how the Guilmon would react but he trust Mary would take care of it if he so much tries to take a step in his direction.
