"Ferndale, huh?" Kaya repeated after LJ explained where he was from. "What's it like living in a small town? I've lived in Tokyo my whole life, and I bet a big city like this is WAY different than where you're from, huh LJ?" It seemed that Luneth wasn't the only gullible one, as Kaya was buying LJ's story just as equally... though to her credit, LJ's story was actually plausible. Ferndale could be the name of an actual town somewhere in California, after all! And a quick Google search would prove that a town named Ferndale, California DOES exist! Once the situation actually started happening, Haru would be the first one to leave, explaining that she had "lady problems." Following that, Luneth and LJ would both claim to need to use the restroom before they headed out the door as well. Clearly the teacher was not happy with this. "Until they get back, no one is allowed to leave the classroom for any reason," she announced. "You are here to learn, not to ditch class and goof off. Now, where were we..." "I guess guys go to the bathroom together now as well?" Kaya joked to Natsu as she wrote and drew into her notebook, indicating that she really wasn't paying attention to the teacher. If Natsu were to look at her journal, she would see plenty of drawings of cutesy animal-like creatures with simple notes next to some of them, including a couple of T-Rexes and a bird with a bow and arrow.
Luneth heard the door open and shut behind him as he began to pursuit this random Digimon. Turning around, he would see the new kid LJ following behind him. Luneth stopped and faced LJ directly. "Look LJ, I don't know who you are, but I assume you saw what I did and I highly recommend you stay out of this. Please." There was something about LJ that felt different, but Luneth still couldn't put his finger on it. Luneth would not continue on until LJ agreed to stay back, though if LJ was careful enough Luneth wouldn't notice him following close behind. From there Luneth headed to the first floor entrance, sneaking past the commissary stand and the shoe lockers before finally encountering that Digimon, who was looking inside locker after locker. "They usually tell students their locker numbers before school starts," Luneth said, attempting to sound cool before getting to business. "Spill it; what are you doing with a Gabumon's pelt? I could tell before you turned your holosuit on that you are definitely not a Gabumon." |

It looked as if Kaya's curiosity was not so the disguised digimon said the first thing that came to mind. "It's not so bad living in a small town especially if you are looking for somewhere relatively quiet to live. Sure is quite different from here since there are more people." LJ answered relieved at some level that Kaya was buying his story. Things would sure be harder for him if she was suspicious but saying he was a purple monster from another world with electric and fire powers wouldn't likely go over too well.
As he began following Luneth, the boy turned around and told him to stay out of it. Like that was likely to happen but to pacify Luneth for the time being, he said "Easy. Like I told the teacher, I was just heading for the bathroom so I'll stay out of whatever you're doing."
He waited until Luneth wouldn't likely notice before he continued following him again for there was something about him that felt odd as if he wasn't like the other students. Could he be a digimon, maybe? Seeing the digimon rooting through the lockers as well, LJ added "Not only that, I know I wouldn't like it if someone was rummaging through my stuff either. Give up the Gabumon pelt, pal, cause I doubt it was ever yours to start with." With that LJ came into view staring the stranger down.

So Haru and Gaomon had a super deep and interesting chat. But that's a pain in the ass to write and doesn't really involve other people, so just pretend that it's all deep and interesting and shit! I'm here to thread with peeps, not write a solo thread!
As both Luneth and then later LJ confronted the mysterious student, he took a step back with a worried expression. "G-Gabumon? What's that? Some new designer brand of clothes?" He looked from Luneth, then back to the much larger LJ besides him. He gave them a long look, before realization setting onto his face, as a wide grin grew across his face. "I gotta say, this sure seems to be a really diverse school! We got students from all over different places, you know?" He let out a quick chuckle before reaching over to pat the pair on the arm. "All I'm doing is having some little harmless fun, is all! So how about the two of you just let me have my little fun, and I don't cause any trouble for you guys, okay?"He flashed the pair an innocent smile. "I don't know why you're hanging around here, but it would be a crying shame if got into a scrap, caused a scene, and your little disguises happened to go 'poof'... in front of this whole school... That would be a real shame, wouldn't it?" |

 Of course Luneth believed LJ when he said he was just going to go to the bathroom. In hindsight he really should have kept looking behind him from time to time, if he did that then he would've noticed LJ following not-so-far behind. It would probably be pretty easy to sneak up on Luneth, given this scenario. Once the disguised Hackmon had caught up to the mysterious student, LJ had caught up with them and somehow seemed to know what a Gabumon was at this point. Luneth looked at his classmate with great suspicion, though now something seemed to be making sense. The feeling I'm getting from LJ... it's the same feeling I'm getting from this disguised Digimon! Does that mean... LJ is a Digimon in disguise? Like me?
The mysterious student tried to play dumb, asking if Gabumon was just the name of a designer clothes brand. Of course Luneth wasn't buying it, but the student seemed to give a better look at Luneth and LJ, and his mouth formed a wide and mischievous grin. Judging by his words, this student must've figured out that Luneth and LJ were also Digimon. Luneth's glare got more intense at this point. The Digimon in question patted Luneth's arm, threatening to potentially reveal their secret if they tried getting in the way of his "fun." His eyes widened; how dare this Digimon make such a threat towards him?! In response, Luneth grabbed onto the arm that this student held the pelt in tightly, lifting the arm up and twisting it slightly. "LJ, grab the pelt and find who it belongs to, now!" |

So the pelt thief was trying to play innocent, huh? Not like LJ was about to buy that for a second. When the stranger reached out to touch him while threatening to reveal both his and Luneth's secret to the school, LJ jerked his arm away and got into a defensive stance. Before LJ could make a move it seemed Luneth had things well in hand as he grabbed the unfamiliar disguised digimon arm and held on to him and told LJ to grab the pelt.
LJ didn't have to be told twice as he reached out and snagged the pelt pulling it into a snug grip before bolting down the hall. Then he realized he had a problem. How was he gonna find one Gabumon lacking its pelt seeing as most tended to hide when stripped of the pelt. So was it hiding or using a holosuit to disguise itself. "Talk about one of those times it would of been handy to have Pops' sense of smell or Dad's telepathy. It would make finding this proverbial needle in a haystack simpler." LJ muttered as he was now wandering the halls which were luckily devoid of humans.

And so... the disguised Digimon got grabbed and held by another disguised Digimon. And another disguised Digimon stole his shit. Which wasn't fun. He was certainly in a precarious situation right here, wasn't he? Well... there wasn't a whole lot he could do except...
The disguised Digimon took a deep breath, and then he finally... "HELP! TEACHERS! I'M BEING BULLIED RIGHT NOW! THEY STOLE MY BAG AND WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, and almost immediately a man in a dress shirt and tie came out of one of the offices on the first floor. He looked like he had an air of authority to him.
"What's going on?" He asked in a tone more annoyed than concerned. "You, let go of that student right now!" Then he pointed to LJ before he could get very far. "And you, hand that bag over to me this instant! And all three of you, get back to class! Settle your fight somewhere else!"
And as for Harumi and Gaomon... stuff was going on. It wasn't very important. Yet.

 They were so close. They were so close to getting the Gabumon pelt away from this creep, and LJ was even running fast down the hall in order to find who it belonged to. But then the disguised Digimon pulled the biggest asshole move that a middle school student could make, and Luneth realized what he was going to do when he saw the Digimon take a deep breath. But by that time, it was too late. He shouted at the top of his lungs that the guy was being builled. Immediately Luneth let go of him, so the man wouldn't have seen Luneth holding onto the Digimon like that. Immediately he asked what was going on. Fine, if this kid was going to lie then Luneth was going to fib back. "We didn't steal any bag from him, he stole a costume piece from our friend as some sort of joke and he refused to give it back. What's worse is that he threatened to completely trash it if we went to a teacher. I've never bullied anyone here before sir, you have to believe me." Luneth was definitely a model student at the school, surely this teacher should recognize him and at least be able to hear his side of the story, right?

Of course it wouldn't be so easy as a teacher seemed to appear out of nowhere and ordered LJ to hand over the bag. LJ's grip tightened on the bag out of reflex but would be hard to notice as his back was to the teacher still. How was he gonna get out of this? Even worse, how was he gonna explain to his parents that he got into trouble on his first day of school?
It was lucky that Luneth was willing to try and cover for him saying that they didn't steal the bag. Now feeling calmer he eased his grip a bit but not so that the bag could easily be snatched as he turned to face the teacher himself. "What he's saying is true sir. I was only running so that bully wouldn't get the bag back before I got it back to its owner." He was now acting more like his charismatic Wizardmon father Mandrake in the way he was speaking. Since he was a new student the last thing LJ wanted was to get the reputation as a troublemaker as early as day one. Thinking quickly he opened the bag and showed a bit of the pelt. "See."

"Please, you have to believe me, sir!" The disguised student cried out in a high-pitched crack, a desperate voice of a pathetic soul. Tears were pouring down his eyes. Clearly this guy was a good actor. And the teacher narrowed his eyes as he looked at the crowd. Kanzaki was an inoffensive enough student. Good enough grades, kept his head down enough. But he didn't recognize the other ones. Were they both transfer students, or in Anderson's case, a foreign exchange student? He didn't recall hearing anything about that... what was with this weird school and its students, anyway?
Well, it wasn't the time to dwell on such things. LJ didn't hand over the bag, despite the fact that a teacher told him to do so. "I'm going to pretend that you didn't hear me the first time son, so I'm only going to repeat myself once before you're going to face some serious consequences! Hand over that bag or else..." His eyes tracked over to the hallway window, where a bizarre sight caught his attention.
"I've found it!" A voice screamed through the other side of the glass. And that was when he arrived. A strange figure, maybe around three feet tall or so. His body was covered in a girl's track suit far too long for his short stature, and his hands were covered in boxing gloves. And covering his face, was an American Football helmet with a dark visor covering his face, though a canine's snout was barely visible.
And he dove straight through the window, rolling into a landing despite the shattered glass.
"What the hell even is that!?" The teacher yelled out in shock and horror.
"I... am a primary school student, not a Digimon!" He announced. "So please remember that when I knock you all unconscious!" He began spinning around and around, picking up speed and suddenly becoming a whirlwind of punches. "Double Backhand!!!" His fist collided with the teacher's face, as well as punching at the mysterious disguised student, Luneth, and most importantly, the one holding the Gabumon's pelt. Clearly this was the thief! Sure, maybe he would try to explain himself, but Gaomon was someone who spoke through action, not words!
"Gaomon!" A girl's voice cried out through the now-broken window. Haru appeared, climbing over and avoiding the broken glass after Gaomon's assault. "You weren't supposed to say the 'Digimon' part! And you didn't have to knock anyone out, either!"
"I had to improvise!" He stated.
"That's not improvising, that's assault!"

 Damn, this Digimon was playing for keeps. He was truly selling the act of a desperate student who was being picked on by two second-year bullies right now, as he was putting on the waterworks show and everything. The teacher didn't seem like he knew who to believe at this point in time. Instead he started to focus on LJ not handing over the bag like the teacher requested him to. Luneth felt his core skip a beat, this is where they were gonna lose, huh? But then the teacher stopped talking as his eyes drifted to somewhere else. Luneth looked out the window like the teacher, and that's where he saw the bizarre figure as well. It was a three-foot-tall creature with a track suit far too long for him and an American Football helmet on his head, with what seemed to be a canine snout visible as well. And that wasn't all; this creature dove straight through the glass window, causing Luneth to cover his face with his arms in case some glass went flying his way. Another Digimon...!
Naturally the teacher asked what the hell this thing was, to which they responded that they were a primary school student and not a Digimon, and asked them to remember this as he knocked them all unconscious. Luneth's eyes would widen, this thing was looking for a fight wasn't he? Sure enough they started spinning around rapidly and became a whirlwind of punches, aiming at every individual person present. Unfortunately Luneth was just not quick enough to dodge and he was immediately punched in the face, slamming him into the wall and deactivating his holosuit... ...however, he was a tough little dragon. The Hackmon managed to pick himself up after that punch, and man did he not look happy. "It's gonna take... a lot more than that to knock me out," Luneth growled at "Gaomon," as "Natsu" revealed his name to be. Oh yeah, she just climbed through the window now after Gaomon punched everyone. That was just wonderful, now she knows what he is. Thanks a lot, Gaomon. |

Things were not going his and Luneth's way as it seemed the teacher was buying the thief's act and was turning his focus on LJ who had opened the bag enough to show the contents without letting go. Now what? Before LJ could say anything else something from the window had not only the teacher's attention but Luneth's as well. Turning toward the window what appeared to be a Gaomon in an improvised but, still bad disguised, burst through the window followed by Haru. LJ closed the bag and placed it on as he stepped back from the flying shards of glass.
It seemed LJ's karate training was going to come in handy as he then executed several backflips in an attempt to avoid Gaomon's attack but just barely as it seemed the dog digimon was quite fast. Landing near Luneth and as the Hackmon pushed himself up, LJ asked "Hey are you sure you're alright, Luneth?"
LJ was hoping to avoid a fight and held up his hands in a attempt to calm the Gaomon and said "Easy there, Gaomon. Surely we can sort this out without fighting." Would LJ's efforts work was the question because a digimon battle was likely to attract too much attention so a peaceful solution was definitely best.

"My name is NOT Gaomon!" Gaomon replied. "It's... It is..." He seemed to freeze up for good while. Was thinking up a fake name really so difficult. "It's... Doggy! Doggy McPuncherson!" Haru suddenly called out. Yep. Correction, apparently thinking up a GOOD name was difficult. "Yes! Doggy McPuncherson!" Gaomon agreed, nodding at the fact that this was a totally normal name for a Japanese primary school student. "And Digimon or not, I'm not going to let you get away with stealing my brother's pelt! He's too scared to go out in public without it, so I don't care how many of you bullies there are... I'm gonna take down every last one of you! Until you're all beggin' for mercy!" "Wait, Doggy!" Haru cried out. "Sit, boy!" And much to Haru's surprise, the armored short figure suddenly sat down on his rear, almost reflexively. "Ack! I told you not to do that, human!" The totally-normal human child that's name wasn't Gaomon yelled out in protest, quickly standing back up, thankful for the helmet that covered his embarrassed face. "Just hold on for a second!" Haru insisted. She looked over to the peeved dragon that shared a voice with one of her new classmates. "Huh... so not only to talking alien dogs exist now, but so do lizards that are disguise themselves as middle schoolers..." She crossed her arms and nodded to herself before shaking her head furiously. "Wait, that's not what I was gonna say! Luneth! And..." She glanced over at the tall kung-fu classmate. "Dude whose name I don't think I ever caught! You guys couldn't be responsible for taking Doggy's brother's coat, right? So that means the culprit has to be... the teacher!" She pointed towards the unconscious man who had slumped over in a very not-flattering position. Haru had half a mind to stick a coin into that crack. Shame she didn't have any change on her at the moment. "Well... either that, or the grey dude over there..." She pointed towards where the fake student had previously stood, where instead a different figure with a bruise on his face stood. SmokeFlamonData AttributeSpecial Techniques - Smoky Salamander, Gassy Gust Bio - A variant of Flamon that's not as capable of using fire as the regular kind, but instead control smoke. As such, it tends to have a natural inferiority complex and often causes excessive mischief as a result. While its not typically suited for combat, its abilities are optimal for fleeing fights and diversionary tactics. Sometimes it can't control the smoke it emits, so it tends to prefer wide, open spaces. The harmful effects of the smoke it produces has yet to be fully tested, but rumor has it that it's not very healthy for young Digimon. It uses it's Smoky Salamander technique to impair its foes while it makes its escape, while it produces a stream of concentrated air produced from its lower body to make a quick escape with its Gassy Gust technique.  "Seriously!? Who just punches everyone in sight!?" The grey Flamon cried out in frustration. "Why did I even bother to try hiding in a public place if the person chasing me was a freaking psychopath! Digimon have to be subtle in the Digital World, dammit!" "You're the one yelling, idiot!!!" The not-Gaomon yelled back. A totally normal primary-school student and a Digimon yelling at each other. This was probably gonna attract some undue attention. "Fine... keep the damned pelt! Smell ya later, losers!" He yelled out, creating a gray orb in his hands, then launching it right towards Haru! "Smell ya later, losers! Smoky Salamander!!!" The orb exploded into a cloud of poisonous smoke, lingering into the area, and surrounding the group. "What is this..." Haru managed to get out before going into a coughing fit. Suddenly her chest ached as she felt an intense burn in her lungs. "Can't... breathe..." "You're not getting away from me that easily!" Gaomon yelled out from within the smoke, his voice muffled as if he covered his mouth with his hands or something. And his little doggy feet took off to chase SmokeFlamon... and rammed his little body into LJ instead at full force.
- It seems like SmokeFlamon is trying to escape! He used his Smoky Salamander ability to distract his enemies and make a run for it! You have the pelt now, so will you guys chase him down so he doesn't trouble some other poor soul, or let him be and continue on your merry way? Abilities used - [Active] Smoky Salamander - Creates a cloud of poisonous smoke 15m in diameter that lightly damages everyone within its confines during the course of its duration. It's smoke, so it's hard to breath in and see through, naturally. f this cloud makes contact with a fire move, the cloud ignites instantly, immediately dispersing and scorching everyone within for the same amount of damage this ability would have dealt for the rest of its duration! A champion or higher wind attack can instantly blow this attack away, but a wind attack from a Rookie only reduces the duration by 1 post. Duration: 3 Posts Cooldown: 5 Posts.

"Yeah, I'm fine, LJ," Luneth replied in a guttural tone when the disguised Digimon asked if he was alright after that kick. "How in the world did you manage to not get hit by that?"
After Luneth got up, the Gaomon proceeded to claim that his name was Doggy McPuncherson, the idea courtesy of "Natsu." A sweatdrop could be seen on the side of the Hackmon's head as Gaomon proudly decided that that was his name. "Doggy" declared that he was going to fight everyone to get the Gabumon pelt back, which apparently belonged to his brother. It was only with "Natsu's" intervention that Luneth and LJ were off the hook... though Luneth couldn't help but chuckle at Gaomon's hilarious sudden obedience. Though now the truth was revealed for "Natsu," and she recognized Luneth as the classmate she was talking to earlier. The Hackmon sighed. "I... apologize for not being honest with you, Natsu, but clearly you understand why I did not tell you, right? Just... please do not tell anyone else about me. Especially Kaya." Luneth wasn't sure if "Natsu" put together that LJ was a Digimon as well, so he left it to him to reveal his Digimon side if he wanted to. Speaking of "Natsu's" intervention, after a false comedic declaration of the teacher (who was unconscious in a very humorous and unfortunate manner) being the thief, the real thief was revealed as a... grey Flamon? He clearly didn't seem happy about being punched like that by Gaomon. The two yelled at each other before the Flamon threw a ball of smoke at the group in an attempt to escape. Luneth held his breath to avoid inhaling the smoke as he watched Gaomon ram right into LJ. Since they had the pelt with them now, it would be up to Luneth to stop this Flamon from causing more trouble. "Get back here!" Luneth yelled as he charged after the grey Flamon at full speed, his body now surrounded by fire energy as he ran right at full speed with the intention to ram right into the trouble making Digimon. "Power-"
Wait, Luneth thought as he stopped charging his attack, what if this smoke is flammable? Dammit, I can't see a damn thing...! |

When Luneth asked LJ how he had managed to avoid getting hit by Gaomon, he rubbed the back of his head before he said "It was a combination of karate training and a bit of luck. That guy is fast and almost got me."
When the Gaomon now known as Doggy McPuncherson because of Natsu who had come out of hiding and told him to sit. While funny, LJ didn't want to anger the Gaomon more than he already was and brought out the backpack with the pelt and said "Easy there friend. Here is your brother's pelt." LJ then proceeded to place the backpack on the ground in front of him so Gaomon could claim it.
As for the thief, which turned out to be a grey Flamon, he threw a ball of smoke or maybe it was some kind of gas. Either way LJ wasn't going to take a chance with his fire abilities since if it was a gas it could be the explosive kind and even from a rookie could still hurt.
As the gaseous cloud entered his lungs he began to cough and saw Luneth powering up and using a fire move. Leaping forward LJ grabbed Luneth by the tail and pulled him backwards as he coughed out. "Luneth, no! What if this is an explosive gas?"

Haru resisted a smile as the dragon with Luneth's voice tried to explain himself, still referring to Haru as her sister. "Well, I guess they don't have any dragon schools where you come from, so I guess that all makes sense!" She answered, despite the fact that it made no sense at all! But it did to Haru, apparently!
But that was all in the past, now! Right now, there was a cloud of smoke obscuring the area, and it was poisonous, to boot! Haru couldn't see, and her lungs felt like they were on fire as she wheezed and gasped for air that she couldn't obtain! It was incredibly painful!
So she crawled around helplessly, trying to get out of this cloud of smoke. But fun fact - crawling is really slow, especially since she couldn't do those simple things like see. Or breathe. Super inconvenient!
Anyways, throughout her crawling, she grasped something... felt like a cloth of some kind. Probably red in color. Probably attached to some angry dragon that almost set fire to the whole school. Imagine that.
Meanwhile, Gaomon reached around for the pelt that LJ had, though he couldn't for the life of him see where it was. You know, because there was smoke everywhere. Blinding him. Also it hurt, but unlike squishy middle-school humans he could handle it just a little bit better. Though he did hold his breath, so that was a thing. Of course, that also meant that the Gaomon was unable to speak, so... There was that.
And as for the SmokeFlamon? Eh, he was probably still running away or something. Again, kinda hard for everyone to see.
Because of the cloud of smoke.
