It had been a while since the blind dating event that Faustein had been forced to go to due to losing a bet with a professional colleague. However, since his partner for that event had been one of his allies and friends, aka Stacy, it had turned out to be enjoyable for him despite his asexual and unromantic self. Since then, Faustein had gotten back to his daily routine of being a practicing physician-scientist as well as to his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research which was coming along faster and better than ever nowadays.

However, there was the ever-present issue of his specimens not being able to withstand the rigors of his research. So, he determined that he needed to go search for some sort of solution to this irksome conundrum. Luckily, he got the chance to do just that and upon entering the Digital World and traveling around doing some in depth interviews and literature research at the "Great Moving Library", he discovered a potential solution to his problem, aka a fruit of immortality that was rumored to grow on a certain tree on a certain mysterious island.

With this background in mind, Faustein had set off in search of that mythical island. This was some days ago and now the story moves to the present day wherein he had finally found the island in question and so, he went there. Upon reaching there, however, he spotted what looked like an Angemon hiding behind a tree and surveying the scene ahead of him, that one being one of an injured Kimeramon which was presumably trying to acquire the fruit of immortality.

So, Faustein followed the Angemon’s example and also crouched, hiding behind a tree a few paces away after activating his Analog Jammer device and his Anti Grav Device, the first to hide his human data signature from the detection of the Kimeramon and the second so he could float in mid air about a few feet off the ground to avoid making noise by stepping on the occasional errant dry twigs on the ground. Little did he know of course that the Angemon was actually the digivolved form of a certain albino Lopmon named Alucard whom he had met a while back while traveling by train.

Faustein continued to watch the events unfold and pretty soon, the Angemon near him had taken to the air in a stealthy manner by softly flapping his wings and as Faustein beheld what was to come, he saw the Angemon survey the scene briefly before taking his angel rod staff weapon in hand and then unleashing a directed holy energy typhoon at the tree with the strange fruit of immortality growing from it and ended up ripping the top of the tree right off without warning or preamble. Naturally, as Faustein watched onwards still without interfering and in total silence, the Kimeramon grew rather incensed at the apparent loss of its target and started to look for the one who had cast the typhoon while uttering guttural roars of feral rage.

It would seem things are beginning to heat up...and are getting a bit more intriguing...I wonder what the Norns have in store for us next...

Faustein mused silently as he watched the Angemon return and to his slight surprise, the Angemon actually came towards him and warned him to leave the area for his own safety. Of course, Faustein's goal was the same as that of the Kimeramon, namely the fruit of immortality which was currently lying near the fallen tree top. So, he refused the suggestion in so many words

"That was quite the skillfully executed attack just now, and you need not worry about me, for I may be a human but I am certainly capable of handling myself in a fight, though yes, the appropriate precautionary preparations need to be made if we are to terminate that rather angry seeming Kimeramon over there."

Faustein replied in a neutral tone while thoughtfully stroking his strongly-set jaw and somewhat tapered chin and continuing to look between the Angemon and the Kimeramon while already starting to devise a fair few possible plans of action for the impending battle against the Kimeramon. He phrased his words in the manner he did because he wanted to see what the Angemon's response would be to that, of course, and then he fell silent and waited for said Angemon's reply and the situation's flow to move forward in whatever direction.

Faustein had to struggle suppress a chuckle that threatened to come out when he saw how miffed the Angemon got in response to his intentional provocation, and decided he would get in one last shot before becoming serious again with that same carefully blank expression from before

"Hmm, skillfully executed does not always necessarily mean actually effective, but alright, let us let the matter rest and turn our attention to the problem at hand."

He then studied the Kimeramon which was still raging like the wounded beast it was at present and then turned back to the Angemon, remarking with his usual neutral and inscrutable still on his face

"Well feral and wounded though it may be, it IS definitely a problem and it will not simply resolve itself, methinks. Besides, I seem to vaguely recall seeing a small settlement in the distance on my way over here, though I cannot be completely certain whether it was one or not. You would not want that stark raving mad behemoth to endanger whoever might be resident there, would you? If the answer to that is a no, then you must surely realize the unavoidable task before us."

After that, he was about to continue, but what the Angemon said right afterward gave him momentary pause as the light of epiphany illuminated his memory and brought forth the memories back to the surface, causing his blank face to show visible surprise with him going openly slack-jawed in a more or less retro cartoonish fashion and his eyes almost popping out comically while he recoiled from the shock of the revelation with the exaggerated cartoonish and melodramatic body language to match his facial expression as he remarked in rather too loud to be safe voice



"EH?!!! NANI?!!!!! ALUCARD, IT'S YOU!! GOOD HEAVENS, IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG A SEPARATION!!"

Faustein had calmed down once he saw the Kimeramon start stomping toward them and once he was back to normal, he smirked as he heard Alucard come around to his logical standpoint about having to neutralize the threat posed by the Kimeramon and remarked briefly

"Glad you see things from the right perspective. Also, maybe you would lose in single combat with that Kimeramon, but I too have a champion form available for use, and this would be the perfect stage for its debut. So, you think two Champions working in concert can take on a behemoth like that?"

He asked and then fell silent as Alucard manifested a bow made of holy energy before commanding the Kimeramon to cease and desist its rampage. Then, since Alucard had asked him if he had any bright ideas for dealing with the Kimeramon, Faustein answered by spirit-digivolving into his newly acquired Human Spirit, aka "Docmon", though since time was of the essence, he did not go through the entire song and dance with all the associated bells and whistles that he usually did with his spirit digivolution. Of course, there was still the light from his transformation that briefly illuminated the surrounding area before fading away to reveal his new digimon form



Afterwards, he replied to Alucard's question about his strategy, with his normal human baritone and melodious voice mixing strangely with the innately hollow and metallic one of the Docmon spirit

"Well, the simplest method would be to use my Madness Syringe which can lock down its moves for a bit so it will at least not be able to retaliate against us. In that time, we can attack it with full force in concert. It is injured after all, so perhaps it is not at its full, normal level of power and ability? As a backup plan, either you or I can perhaps engage it in melee while the other provides cover fire. I do not suppose you can summon any additional champion levels from nearby?"

Faustein nodded and remarked to Alucard while readying his "Madness Syringe" ability by infusing his darkness and steel elemental energy into his two giant syringes, making them emit an eerie, disconcerting glow.

"Plan B it is then. Do not fret though, I do still have plans C, D, and E even if this does not work out."

With that said, he trained his syringes at the Kimeramon that was jus getting up and specifically targeted its wide open mouth while flaring his energy to force the liquids in the syringes out in a swift double helical stream with the intent of making them land directly in the disoriented Kimeramon's mouth. Still, he had only just debuted his human spirit form so he did realize his handling of this form's abilities may not be perfect and was not expecting any sort of real success with this attack. Still, if it did end up succeeding, he certainly was not going to complain about it. So, as his attack went sailing toward the Kimeramon, Faustein stepped back to behold his handiwork and any effects it may have on the Kimeramon. Meanwhile, he looked sideways at the Angemon and remarked

"There, with any luck, that Kimeramon will be locked out of its special moves for brief few moments. Methinks we ought to ready our next series of attacks now so that we can defend ourselves just in case this strategy of mine does not work out."

Docmon infuses his energy into the liquids in his syringes and fires them at the target. Upon successful impact, the target digimon cannot use named abilities for the next 1 post. 3 post cooldown, 0/3 posts elapsed

Faustein smirked initially when he saw that his attack and plan had succeeded, but then this smug smirk of his drooped just a little when he saw that it only exacerbated the problem by causing the Kimeramon to charge at him. Luckily, Alucard intercepted, but was rewarded for his efforts only by being grabbed and flung towards Faustein. As he saw the god man digimon sail backwards towards him, Faustein in his Docmon form tried to move out of the way as a dodge maneuver, but since he did not yet have full command over the form, the attempt failed and the two crashed into each other and together went sailing towards a nearby tree a few paces away from them, slamming into it with a semi-loud crash.

Egads...that...really does hurt...ah Lady Verðandi, thou art...a cruel taskmistress indeed...

Faustein/Docmon mused while wincing from the sheer pain of the impact injury, but luckily, he was at least not impaled on one of the branches of said tree. Meanwhile, the Kimeramon did not let up its onslaught, but grinned in a feral manner and charged towards them with its eyes bloodshot and its movements erratic due to its efforts to regain its command over its abilities. Unfortunately for Faustein/Docmon and even more so for Alucard, the Kimeramon tried its "Heat Viper" attack again and this time, it worked and so, a searing stream of flames came rushing towards the both of them with the clear intent to roast them alive. Thankfully, Faustein had made sure to contact a certain digi-miko who was one of the priestesses of the Sovereigns before he even arrived on scene. Therefore, her crystal clear soothing bell like voice was heard ringing out

"Barrier Sanctuary: Amethyst Mandala!!"

With that, in mere moments, a giant translucent dodecahedral dome of amethyst colored energy formed around Faustein/Docmon and Alucard, encompassing them both with still enough space to move around some. This dome was able to successfully stop the Kimeramon's "Heat Viper" attack dead in its tracks, causing the Kimeramon that fired it to utter a roar of enraged frustration as it saw its attack fail due to the interference of an interloper, this being a silver and gold armored fox-woman like digimon.




Said digimon now approached the both of them and smiled while remarking, more to Faustein than to Alucard

"Why is it...that every single time I see you...you seem to always be moments away from certain death, eh Faustein?"

Upon hearing that, despite his rather severe injuries, Faustein/Docmon chuckled briefly but due to that, he devolved into coughing painfully soon enough, but responded all the same

"O-Oh go-od...you...managed to make it just in time...and...regarding my ill fortune, well what can I say? I guess I am just too popular with the multi...farious denizens of the Digital World..."

His face twitched slightly as he tried to fight off the severe pain and then he carefully lowered Alucard to the ground so he could rest now that a protective barrier had been cast upon them and then lay back against the tree trunk himself while clutching his injured body gingerly but as always, he stopped complaining almost immediately so as to not destroy his cool guy image and grit his teeth to bear the pain in silence instead.

Used Abilities:

-Madness Syringe: 1/3 posts of cooldown elapsed

Battle Log:
- Faustein/Docmon crashes into Alucard and they both go crashing further into a tree behind them

- Kimeramon attacks again with Heat Viper and succeeds this time due to Docmon’s Madness Syringe ability's move lockdown wearing off

- TenkoSakuyamon intervenes with Barrier Sanctuary: Amethyst Mandala

- Kimeramon’s Heat Viper attack blocked successfully by TenkoSakuyamon’s Barrier Santuary: Amethyst Mandala shield move. Faustein and Alucard protected from attacks for next 2 posts.

The TenkoSakuyamon chuckled as she heard Faustein’s quip about how apparently popular he was and retorted

“It is truly amazing to see just how narcissistic you are, Faust. That recklessness of yours, on the other hand, is rather worrisome. With that in mind...”

She paused to lift Faustein up with one hand effortlessly by the scruff of his neck like a mother cat would her kitten and asked with a slight head tilt in a deadly serious tone while radiating her true power as a full mega level digimon outwards as an aura to emphasize her question all the while having a polite smile on her face

“How...are you planning to keep my two beloved daughters safe...if you are always this reckless, hmm?”

Now, Faustein was used to facing death and all manner of powerful enemies which he had over the course of his many adventures in the Digital World so far, but this display of power still made him hesitate just a bit initially, but he recovered soon enough and with a single bead of cold sweat running slowly down his temple, he replied, his voice shaky at first but then growing resolute and strong once more, and his eyes transfixed on her own

“You need not worry about their safety under my care. I would give my very life to protect them, in a heartbeat with nary an iota of hesitation or fear on my part.”

The TenkoSakuyamon seemed to be appeased and was about to reply, but then the Kimeramon foolishly chose that very moment to interrupt her with another bestial roar and another “Heat Viper” attack was fired at the three of them. Naturally, the TenkoSakuyamon was not at all happy about her conversation being interrupted by the outsider, and turned with cold fury blazing in her eyes and after charging her "Khakkara" with her holy energy, she hurled it right into the oncoming “Heat Viper” attack. As the energy powering the staff was that of a full mega and the Kimeramon was an ultimate level, her staff cut right through the "Heat Viper" attack and went onwards to blow a hole right through the Kimeramon’s head, killing it almost immediately with apparently very little effort. Additionally, it even managed to destroy the ripped off top half of the tree and the fruit of immortality as well along with it. Then, as the last of the Kimeramon’s body slowly faded away, she remarked in an icy voice

“Never and I mean never interrupt me when I am talking. If you had behaved yourself, you would have lived, but your fate was sealed the moment you decided to attack us again.”

Then, just as quickly as she had become angry, she turned about to Alucard and Faustein with her usual gentle smile once more and while extending a healing aura over Alucard, she answered his question from earlier

“I am known as TenkoSakuyamon. I am one of a select handful of priestesses who serve the almighty four Sovereigns and keep watch over the Digital World. My domain just happens to include this region and so it fell to me to answer the call for help...like the one that Faustein here had sent in before arriving for possible assistance in case of trouble. Your wounds should heal fairly soon as I am infusing some of my healing holy energy into you at present.”

Then she turned to Faustein and again with that same mega level display of power emanating from her, she spoke

“Good, I shall hold you to that then. Take heed, for if you dare to disappoint me, and I shall personally see to it that you suffer a fate far worse than that foolhardy Kimeramon had just now.”

She finished, and fell silent, still with that same porcelain smile she had on all this while, which made Faustein sweat a few more bullets of cold sweat as his mind pictured all the potential possibilities unbidden. Still, he did not show the terror he felt just now on his face and kept it neutral and inscrutable. Instead, he merely replied

“Understood, sensei. I shall let your words be a sting to my conscience.”

After that, he turned to Alucard and remarked

“So, now that’s been concluded, shall we go ahead and confirm the status of that settlement? From your reaction earlier, methinks that perhaps you have some deeper connection to it or some entity currently resident there.”

He asked and then fell silent, waiting for Alucard’s injuries to be finished with their healing by TenkoSakuyamon
