Daichi nodded towards Nami as she had the right idea, before taking any decisions they should scout the area to have a better understanding of where they are and if there's something odd, for more experience people that would be rather easy but for Daichi everything just looks as something you would found on an island, so he let the girls handle that. Mana on the other hand suggested that they should split which was follow by her sister agreeing with said idea, Daichi was a bit unsure but truth be told taking both approaches not only gives them more terrain to cover but if something goes wrong it means only one of them is caught.
"Alright, I can work with that, if you're sure about it we can split then" Of course he would prefer for everyone to go together he doesn't fully trust his skills nor leaving the girls on their own makes him feel at ease "If anything happens or you have an update remember I have the dark green inventory thing" It would be smart to keep in contact if needed and would also help him feel a bit at ease knowing the others are fine
That said Daichi was wondering if the girls where tamers or a spirit user, but to his surprise they where just digimons wearing a holosuit, yeah now he feels more confortable letting the girls on their own a digimon can handle situations much better than he could but hey that's what the twins are for, with a nod and wave the group splitted the young man and the monkey twins walking east to find the secret path and the sisters towards the entrance of the village.
As they walked Kenna contact them explaining that soon they'll find the first waterfall, Kekeli. And if they keep walking east would reach the second one, Cini. If they decide to keep walking they would go full circle and reach their starting point, so the entrance was in either one of those waterfalls but Kenna wasn't sure which one was it, now if only Daichi had more than one inventory marble on him it would be as easy as to split the twins and let both explore the waterfall until they found the secret path and contact the other, And Mana and Nami weren't with them either so they'll have to explore both and hope to find it on the first try.
"We should inspect the Kekeli Waterfall first since is the closest to our location" Jin said feeling it was the right choice at the moment
"Surprisingly I agree, not only we would wasting time if the path is not on the second waterfall, but for the sake of a sneaky and stealthy approach we shouldn't rush and go straight to the second" For the first time Han said something smart and that Daichi could agree on, there was no reason to rush even if Kenna said that for now there was no danger her information is limited and things could've change
The Trio finally reach the Kekeli waterfall and it was as beautiful as Daichi expected, jokes aside of comparing this place to the Jurassic park Daichi admited that it has an incredible landscape and this waterfall was proof of it, falling majestically into a small lake surrounded by a series of beds of tropical flowers near their path, now as beautiful as all this was they have a mission and just staring at the landscape wasn't going to help so it was time to work and check the surrounding area.
"It's a bit open if there's someone around we would've seen them already, then again I like to be more cautious when approaching to this" He said thinking on how to approach the waterfall "I have an idea! Jin, I need you to go near the lake, check the flower beds are the lake if you can, if there's nothing weird you give us a signal and Han and me will get close"
"Understood, but... Why me? Wouldn't be better if I remain hidden and my sibling inspects the lake?" Jin asked a bit confused
"Well, Han has a sling shot so if there is a problem he can cover you from our safe distance, I just want to be sure there is not an aquatic digimon hiding in that like before inspecting the waterfall to surprise us, so up to you buddy!"
"Don't worry bro! I got your back" Han nodded taking his drawing his slingshot
With a firm nod the ninja would leave Daichi and Han behind and take the lead, as he move out of the path and close to the bed of flowers the green Igamon took at look at some of them and even touch some of the petals looking for a reaction, if nothing happen he would move to the lake and try to see if he could see either the bottom of it or if there was something swimming around.

The russian kept quiet for a bit, silently nodding at Bon's rather sad explanation. While not really having anyone else back home that she could really be missing or viceversa, she couldn't help but symphatize with the agumon's plight.
"Hey, don't worry. I'm sure they're still alive...wherever those Unaba dinos are keeping them. By the end of the day I'm sure we'll get things back to how they were and this place will be just as busy as always." That was as good a promise as she could give really, though she was starting to feel a bit unsure as to how much she was going to help by investigating this ship.
As the conversation eventually shifted into more pressing yet lighter topics, she was about to correct and tell Bon to not needlessly endanger himself if they were to fight something that clearly outmatched him...until she remembered the whole power equalizer nonsense.
"Right, I forgot power's pretty much evened out regardless of level right now right?...Wonder if I could actually punch out a digimon without my spirit here..." She mused, deep in thought for a moment, before brushing that power fantasy away and getting back on track.
Though ironically Kenna's lack of knowledge about the green object gave Sasha some information already: it was clearly something completely foreign to the island or something older than the island itself. Not that that gave her a huge insight into said object, but it was a start. And while she wasn't entirely sure about the idea of carrying a suspicious looking green...anything around, it seemed harmless but important enough.
The scene transition music of a certain Adam West show played in her head as she pocketed the mysterious bat medallion, before she turned back her attention to the ship.
"I'd say let's just go through the window for now, no need for dramatic entrances yet." She made her way next to the vessel, trying to gauge how far away she was from the window. Perhaps it was because she was around knee deep in water, perhaps it was the world happy to remind her about her relatively short height, but it was clear she wasn't getting up there without some help, be it Bon or her own spirit. With a slightly annoyed huff, she motioned the agumon closer. "Think you can get me up there? If not I can probably get us both there with my spirit but I can't promise it will be stealthy."
And if indeed Bon could she'd be all too happy to offer her hand to help him get through the window once she was up there...otherwise she was also prepared to make a gladimon shaped hole where the window was but hopefully it wouldn't get to that?

What they found on their initial reconnaissance attempts wasn’t all that fruitful, yet nonetheless had brought them some interesting tidbits of information. The first one was an indication that Kenna’s intel could be correct; the amount of footprints around meant that there had been an extremely high volume of movement recently, and that the totality of it had been inside Ozith’s direction. These could be the ‘prisoners’ she had referred to before, or could be something else entirely; the possibilities were somewhat boundless, but an event like this narrowed the possible outcomes considerably. The second? The second was a fair bit more interesting! It seemed that some sort of conflict had transpired recently, even though its exact nature was a bit up in the air. There was no way to know if all these were the result of a single event, or if they had happened progressively. One thing was for certain, however; various events of martial nature had transpired as of late, for better or for worse, and that carried a variety of meanings that, once again, aligned themselves with Kenna’s prior explanation. A question lingered in the air, however. What were the Unaba up to? Why were they employing tactics such as this one when this was supposed to be a peaceful island? These, among other questions, were what they were sent to solve. Yet, both sisters felt like they didn’t have the whole picture; something was amiss here, and finding out exactly what would no doubt further their goals greatly. And, even if the direct approach managed to fail, it would hopefully provide some cover for Daichi to uncover some truths by employing shadier methods. With some luck, this two-pronged approach would bear some fruit. Those thoughts, however, were something that shouldn’t be the focus of Nami’s thoughts, at least for the time being. Understandably so, Kenna seemed fairly puzzled at the developments that followed the sisters’ entrance. Nevertheless; the fact that they were able to enter so easily into a potentially dangerous village without any resistance whatsoever meant something was likely amiss. Not to say that exposing prisoners like they were some sort of zoo or a circus attraction wouldn’t have been aesthetic at all. “Reassurance. All in due time.” She said, calmly. “Had it been a simple affair, I’d have been surprised.” While it was true that the human’s comments had been generally useful thus far, this was probably the last time she’d answer to color commentary that didn’t meaningfully contribute to their circumstances. As these events went underway, Mana seemed to fix her attention towards the ClearAgumon that had approached them. Big eyes focused on them, a smile already pulling at the corner of her feline features. “That is correct, young one! We’ve sojourned countless lands in our ultimate quest of self-cultivation!” Least to say, Mana seemed positively excited at what was happening, pretty much as if this had been her own idea instead of some kind of mission! “We’re a pair of travelers, and also sisters in our spare time! We hail from the mainland, but we’ve sadly exhausted all our paths of growth there.” Dejection was clear in the Meicoomon’s face, or, well, at least it was for a handful of seconds before being replaced by a big smile. “But then we heard about an island where our travels could continue, and that the strongest there were called The Unaba!” The fanfare was particularly loud and obnoxious, but also quite impressive! “I don’t know who you’re talking about, though. But we’d love to share our experiences with travelers like us.” With some luck, that’d be good enough.

Boom. Ozith Village III. Daichi, Jin, and Han’s scouting would start relatively smoothly. However, the group seemed to be taking things slow, making sure they weren’t going to be ambushed or under the target of an unexpected enemy. This would ultimately take Jin exploring the surroundings of Kekeli waterfall. The flowers that composed the beds spread through the zone were of a dim, yellow color. However, their petals seemed to have a reflective quality, which made them look really pretty with the sun hitting on them, and the effect caused by the light bouncing off the lake's crystalline water and off the flowers again. It was a shame it looked like some of these flowers had been stepped on recently, as if someone had tried to quickly access something they were surrounding Although he wouldn’t directly notice anything weird from touching these, there would be at least two things that would raise his attention sooner or later. First, a wooden sign (that they had already spotted from the distance) at the center of these beds and right where the roads bifurcated. From up close, the Ninjamon would be able to read it properly, although it was written in digimoji. “Kekeli Waterfall.
Three Guardians protect our mystic treasure. Each of them contributes in their own way to preserve its beauty. However, the strongest of them, as expected, hides a secret within its fragility. The inlet that must remind us, at all times, from where we came from and what we’ll become. March forward, always along with your fellow tribes, Unaba!” Upon further examination, Jin would notice the word “strongest” looked slightly different from the rest. Not only because of the typography itself, but because the background of the word, right at that specific part of the sign, looked darker than the rest of the wood that constituted it. It was almost as if whatever was actually written there had been scratched multiple times. Whatever was there before was completely intelligible or unreadable by now, though. Hmmm... So… what else? Well, although this wasn’t all that visible from distance, by the left side of these beds of flowers, four stone plates rested stuck to the soil. They also had inscriptions, written in digimoji. Each stone placed shared the same start of an epitaph. “In memory of our unforgettable Unaba heroes.”Then, different names were written in each of them, respectively. “Mevko, the Gaossmon
Ina, the Monodramon.
Iqhwa, the Yuki Agumon.
Idwala, the Sunarizamon.”The wind blew and the yellow petals occasionally flew over the graves, the sunlight providing a really peaceful, yet melancholic sight. Nothing else to be remarked about this particular place, though. When Jin decided to take a look at the lake, he would immediately spot a long, serpent-like figure moving way beneath the waterline, in the depths of the body of water. The creature moved with a certain grace and at a very slow pace, seemingly undisturbed by anything. So… what could the ninja gather from all of this? What would be their next move? Suddenly, a massive roar heard from the distance would break the otherwise peaceful environment around the waterfall. It seemed like it had happened miles away from there, but it had been so violent and impactful, Daichi and his twins could even feel the ground shake a little bit over there. “The… mainland?” The ClearAgumon tilted his head, blinking. For a second or two, he stared at Manami as if she had grown a second head, or… as if he was just trying to desperately process everything she had said. Then? He took his transparent, toy-block hands to his mouth and started giggling. “Sisters in your spare time?” It seemed that it all sounded so silly, but yet, so amusing to the dinosaur. Then, his expression turned into a rather dubitative one, right before he seemed to be reminiscing about certain matters. “We’ve certainly had a fair share of visitors lately. I don’t think we have ever gotten any before… but now there’s you, that weird Troopmon, the science Wanyamon…” He recounted timidly. The ClearAgumon shook his head, looking everywhere. “W-Where are those sounds coming from?” He blinked once again. “Well, out of the big three, Unaba is the tribe known for its powerful warriors, yes.” He nodded excitedly. “How are things out there, though? Is it too dangerous? The higher-ups have recommended we don’t leave the village for a while… I’m a little worried about the other tribes.” Genuine preoccupation could be seen in this digimon’s expression. “Luckily, the higher-ups make sure we have enough food and supplies. However… there are some things that have become a bit harder to find.” To punctuate this piece of info, the ClearAgumon let out a sigh. He looked quite… troubled about this. More than as a general matter. “Oh! Huh. Okay…” He nodded again. “Yes. I have no clue where that Troopmon went, but… I saw the Wanyamon at the Phuzo Bar last night.” Nonchalantly, the toy dinosaur pointed at one of the pathways that weaved through the village. “They usually close around this time so she's probably still there. You will find it if you walk straight through t-“Before he could carry on with giving out directions, a massive roar coming from the distance would be heard, interrupting the ClearAgumon’s voice dead-on and raising the attention of all of the villagers. The thunderous noise came accompanied by a slight shaking of the ground. This little earthquake was not enough to throw anyone off-balance, but it certainly showed whatever had happened, had been huge. “W-What was…?”
Although the whole village had been startled by this, neither of them seemed to be panicking. Instead, they seemed more than willing to go back to their regular lives, rather unaltered. However, a couple of dinosaurs, located at the further ends of the village (mainly around its borders) did seem to get alerted, lifting their heads and trying to remain aware of their surroundings. It was unlikely the village itself was in danger after this, but it did seem they were trying to figure out what was that. Ultimate Brachimon III. The situation on the Ultimate Brachimon leg was progressively getting more complicated. However, it was likely no one was prepared for what would happen next. Bruga tilted her head at Hisato’s words. She focused back on Gumo, keeping her Shinai unwielded. Her eyes shifted to her side occasionally, as if she were considering alternatives. “S-Sure!” Kenna, still on the line, seemed to be paying close attention to the battle unfolding, although not being completely immune to the compliments. As Hisato deployed his partners to launch the offensive, the purple-haired girl did start getting progressively more worried. The whole plan would progress smoothly, even if its consequences remained to be seen. The chains invoked by Skadi did get a perfect hold of Gumo, as soon as the dinosaur had stood up from the already quite destructive first Dondata Crush, which had luckily found no target. However, there was something to note here... as soon as the Triceramon was targeted by this, the ground below his feet started shattering. “He—!! He’s getting heavier!” Kenna noted, nervously. It was when Hisato and Scarab started launching more moves that even Bruga broke her otherwise quiet attitude. “Wait! Did you say it gets heavier the more you hit him? Then why do you keep hitting him!?” She immediately questioned Hisato’s plan, looking at him and then back at the giant monster. Both Scarab and Gyo’s techniques landed perfectly, causing full damage. The dinosaur screamed from pain, letting out a more acute roar, kind of like the squeal of a suffering creature. Immediately after Gumo was hit by both Moon Shooter and X-Laser, the soil beneath his feet showed the consequences. The ground started cracking aggressively. These weaving cracks started traveling towards the whole group and Bruga as the tectonic plates seemed to split. “… by 20… by 20… by 20...”
The violently shaking surface would definitely throw any human at ground level off balance. As the ground cracked, it seemed to be pulling every member of the group towards different directions. “… by 20… by 20… by 20...”
It definitely looked like, if Gumo’s passive was stacking, it had gotten out of control. “Guys...!" Kenna started breathing heavily. "Gumo is at least sixty-four million times heavier than he was originally!” The scientist noted, sounding pretty terrified by the sole realization. “…!” Bruga tsk’d before turning around and started running on the opposite direction of this whole mess. It seemed like she knew what was coming. The trapped dinosaur roared loudly before simply… letting himself fall forward, threatening to crush all of his opponents at once. It did seem like Skadi's chains had stopped him from using Dondata Crush by jumping forward, but had not been an impediment to let himself fall on the ground. No need to tell everyone they should get out of the way, probably. The issue, however, far from the potential peril of Gumo actually crushing someone with this move, would be the consequences of the impact. If things looked dire when the ground started violently trembling just because this thing was too heavy, they would look utterly chaotic when the monster hit the ground. To put it in simpler terms, it would feel like a bomb that actually had no explosive within had been detonated. The sole expansive wave caused by this fall would release enough energy to slash some of the trees around, while the rest would simply be swallowed by the seismic waves that wreak destruction across the land. The roar caused by the impact was deafening. It would be heard across the whole island and would leave anyone close enough to it fully disoriented for some moments. Hopefully, the group counted with enough flying digimons to keep their partners (and themselves) safe. However, regardless of their ability to fly, the expansive wave of energy caused by the sole impact would be enough to make them lose balance, and they would really have to strive to keep themselves afloat and not collision against the ground. If one of them would go and try to save Bruga as the wave expanded, they wouldn’t find her around anymore. Even after the massive earthquake caused by the fall stopped, clouds of dirty would have spread throughout the area, making it difficult to breathe or see for those who remained at ground level. Gaining a little bit of height would let them partially witness the consequences of this impact, even if it was still quite hard to see due to the dust. Almost no tree in the area was left standing, the ground had been split and spread in different plates of rocks, and no leveled surface remained. Everything was a just big mess of debris, with a crater that seemed to have its center on the exact point where the Triceramon had fallen, even if right now the rocks and dirt around wouldn't let the group spot him from above. The location of the crater showed they had even been thrown several meters away from their original location or had been forced to fly there to protect themselves from the expansive wave as well as they could. If any of them tried to get to Kenna, they’d find the line, at least to communicate with her, seemed to be temporarily dead. Mysterious Ship III. Bon reacted extremely well to the input from Sasha regarding a successful conclusion. The Agumon was a positive digimon, who seemed to just be happier when he could see the brighter side of things and expect the best outcome possible. Taking that aspect of his personality into account, it seemed like the way Sasha had decided to tackle his worries was correct. “Well… you look quite strong.” Bon noted, one of his claws poking Sasha’s arm. “Even if you’re smaller than a regular human, too.” He noted nonchalantly with a smile, also noticing the Russian’s knees were on water level now. Bon did seem, however, kind of struck by the question of whether he could get Sasha up there or not. He scratched his head for a couple of seconds while staring at the window until… he seemed to have come up with something! “Got it!” As they got ready to execute the Agumon’s plan, Bon did take a quick look at the window above him. “I hope you’re more athletic than Kenna, otherwise, this will probably not work.” He giggled as he positioned right below the circular opened window, a few meters forward on the sand to both give Sasha space to be correctly propelled and to be able to keep both claws over the waterline. “It’s a good thing the digital stabilizers even out everyone’s power to a little higher than Adult level. Maybe I couldn’t get you high enough with the strength of a rookie." The plan seemed pretty clear, Sasha just had to run, jump over Bon’s claws, and he will jut her up and into the window. If everything went on correctly, this simple strategy would be successful and Sasha would find herself inside the cabin quite soon. From below, Bon would wave his arms. “Yay! It worked.” He took a pause to consider his own way of going up. “I don’t think I can jump that high, though. There should be a way to deploy a ladder over deck somewhere. I’ll get up if you find it. Good luck for now, though!” What would Sasha find in this cabin, though? Well, it looked like a cozy, simple room. The walls were decorated, on one side, with clubs of different colors and shapes, while, on the other one, a huge table laid, numerous potions and beverages laying over a long, old, tablecloth that reached the floor. The room was spacious enough to fit two bunk beds. One of these was completely empty, while the other one had… A digimon sleeping on the upper bed! From down there, it looked like some type of small troll of a dark, greenish color, with a light green Mohawk. If Sasha had seen the species before, she would probably recognize it immediately. If not, maybe she would need some help to tell what this was. Time was of the essence, though, so she better decided what she wanted to take a deeper look into before proceeding. In any case, the passenger/member of the crew seemed to be enjoying of a nice sleep, so, as long as Sasha kept things quiet enough, there should be no issue. Except… noise would inevitably arrive, and not because of her. A distant, loud roar would make the whole beach shake a little. Although it was obvious whatever had happened had occurred quite far and the consequences could not be spotted on the horizon, the thunderous noise of something impacting the earth with strength reached Sasha and Bon’s ears. Just as so, the expansive wave it had caused would have its effects on the shore and water itself, making the ship shake enough to throw Sasha a little bit off balance and… make that old bunkbed rattle like the old piece of scrap it was. In fact, it made it rattle so hard that… the Shamamon sleeping on the upper part, with his leg and arm lazily hanging from a side already, would fall face flat against the wooden floor. “Ugh…” His eyes still closed and face planted on the floor, he rubbed his head and started getting up… Sasha still had time before she was caught, but it was evident it was very scarce! What would she do!?

So, to put things incredibly bluntly, Hisato did feel like he was onto something with making Gumo heavier by hitting him a number of times. It's just that he didn't really consider the sheer weight that such a passive ability would actually cause Gumo to possess.
So much so that he ended up weighing sixty four million times the weight he originally was. "I was hoping he'd get heavy enough to not be able to chase us." He spoke, quietly. "...I didn't foresee sixty four million times...that."
So, really? Kenna had every reason to be terrified at that! As did the other fliers. When Scarab realized the magnitude of the passive, he quickly broke off and dove for Hisato, Kenny and...Yeah, that was it. He had been trying to sweep them up before the earth itself shook. Hisato was at least running with the Kotemon.
Caine meanwhile took off with Bruga. "To put this extremely lightly, Bruga, I work with fools." He hissed.
That was the last thing any of them heard before the quake.
It would take a few moments for everyone in Bad Company to regain their bearings, so to speak, but as Hisato's vision stopped being so blurry, and his hearing began to come back, he'd find himself moderately scratched up near a fallen tree--a part of the debris.
"Such devastation..." Scarab could be heard muttering from above. He had somehow wound up upside down upon a rock. Gyo groaned. "...This was not our intention. At all." He wheezed.
"Then don't fucking -assault- the Digimon that gets heavier with each attack thrown his way with two constant blasts of attacks, you fools! I thought you were going to just tag him and kite him around!" Caine's yelling was, at least muffled as he dug himself out of some rocks. "...Line's dead..." He uttered, checking the inventory...
"Kenny, Skadi, report, you still with us?" Scarab called out. Gyo in the meantime would pull himself up and take off to try finding Bruga...Wherever she was. Hisato was dead silent. "Didn't she have a vanishing technique...?" Gyo mused to himself.
Well, that was a mess...

The ninja walked carefully the path towards the fall leaning slowly to the flower bed to check them up, they where incredibly pretty the fact that they reflected the light of the sun and the reflection of the lake made them very special, if this wasn't a mission he would take a pair to take them back home, his attention shifted towards a sign near the flower bed and after a quick read it definitely raise some questions as to what it meant especially what was scratched before "Strong" was written over it.
Taking a quick glance to the left he saw four stone plate dedicated to the heroes of Unaba, the ninja read each one and made a bow in front of them as a sign of respect, he might not know them but if they where the heroes of this people the least he can do show them respect, besides if he got the right idea the sign and this stone plates would be linked in a way so apologizing in advance would be smart.
Once he inspected the lake and gather as much information of the surrounding area as he could he draw his sword and make the light of the sun reflect on it to give his tamer and sibling a sign that it was OK to get closer, Daichi and Han move towards the ninja who updated on everything he knew about this place.
"I'm still not sure if this is the path to the secret entrance, but someone was here not long ago for the state of this flowers" He said pointing at the flowers that seemed to have been stepped "There's also a serpent like creature swimming in the depths of the lake, I didn't want to get too close and be spotted"
Before the teen could think of something with the information Jin gave them a roar was heard at the distance and had such strength that the earth shake, Daichi quickly drop to the ground face first and cover his head with his arms, thankfully it wasn't an extremely strong earthquake and after some minutes the tamer regain composure he decided to call Kenna for some well needed advice.
"Kenna, what just happen? We heard a roar and then earth started shaking! Should I be worried about it happening again?" If that was going to be normal the stealth approach could become even harder, once the explanation was over Daichi would ask for what he truly was interested in knowing "OK I don't know if this will be helpful to remind you of which fall has the secret passage but Jin found some stuff" He then proceed to tell Kenna about the wooden sign that had one word scratch and written over and the four stone plates "It seems that someone was here too as some flowers have been step on, I'm thinking the sign and the stone plates are connected maybe the sign is a clue as to which will help us find the secret passage?"
"Oh! Jin also mentioned a creature in the lake, should be worried about it too?" Han climb up to the shoulder of his tamer to get a part on the call as he believe the snake thing to be very important.

While Sasha couldn't help but grumble a bit at the thin if well toned limb she called an arm being prodded by the Agumon while he noted how comparatively small she was to the others, a compliment was a compliment. If he really thought of her as strong then it was in her best interest to keep that impression going by not letting such superficial comments get to her. Even if they did get to her a tiny bit.
Sure enough she would at least prove herself at least physically fit enough as she managed to climb up into the cabin with Bon's help.
"Ayyy see? We make a banger team. Maybe you're actually stronger than you give yourself credit, Bon."
She gave her a thumbs up and a smile, content they were making progress, before she made her way into the cabin after it became clear the agumon wouldn't be able to get up there on his own. It was unlikely that she would find a ladder in the first room but surely she'd find something to-
Fuck.
Her attention was quickly snapped at the snoring digimon sleeping over the tallest bunk bed in the room, thankfully completely oblivious to her presence for now. Probably. She slowly crouched whilst scanning the room around her, never quite letting the green digimon leave her periferal vision. Besides him the room seemed otherwise fairly ordinary, a huge table with an equally large tablecloth adorning it around one edge of the room and clubs of various different shapes and colors on the wall being about the only really noteworthy things.
She weighted her options, cursing herself slightly for not being cold blooded enough to consider getting rid of the sleeping digimon on that bunk bed, which then again was probably a bad idea depending on the ship crew's motives for being here if they happened to align with hers. Rummaging through the beverages on the table seemed like too much of a timesink to really be worth it, so probably the best course of action was trying to exit the room as quietly as possible. Which proved impossible, since as she started to creep towards the door a loud roar would shake both her and the entire ship with the strenght of a tremor, followed by a large impact and an actual tremor, one strong enough to make her lose her balance for a bit, having to catch herself from faceplanting to the wooden floor. Speaking of which, and almost to add insult to injury the Shamamon was also sent tumbling down from his bed by the tremor, and landed in a considerably less graceful manner using his face as a cushion.
Without a second thought Sasha practically threw herself under the table, trying to position herself so that her relatively slim body would be obscured by the long tablecloth. And after that? Well she just bit down on her lips and stood there, as motionless as she could. A single hand tightly grasping at the digivice on her pocket, hoping her cover wouldn't be blown but ready to go all out if it did...

Another brief moment of elation; with Gumo successfully pinned down by the chains, Scarab and Gyo were free to rain what was basically hell onto him, and the SilverGrademon could only pump her fist once more - that is, until the cracks beneath the Triceramon's feet started to show, and she found herself wincing as they started to grow bigger and Kenna's cries practically poured out of her inventory. And that wasn't even the worst of it. Pressed for not-unreasonable questions by Bruga, Kenny started to try and explain to her as quickly as he could, pointing to his inventory for her to glance at, "Well, you see, that nice lady on the line told us this guy gets heavier the more we hit him and you have this really good attack that could slow him to a crawl based on how heavy he gets and we could really use your help to turn the tide in our favour and yours-"Oh crap. Perhaps it was mere fight-or-flight kicking in at this point, but in a panic, Kenny would quickly be swiping a card in the D-Nexus over and over again as fast, and as much, as he could. Almost immediately, giant pale dragon-esque wings would launch out of Skadi's back. That was the last thing he'd see before Scarab would scoop him up in his burly bug arms, away from the sheer anarchy. Scarab would practically feel Kenny's whole body wobbling like crazy at this point from sheer terror and panic. Skadi would only have a slightly better time of it. With one simple jump, she'd find herself away from the mess as well, her giant wings the only thing keeping her not only up in the air, but even herself stable. Taking a good moment to blink her vision back to normal, she'd quickly scan up for what had happened. Kenny and Hisato found themselves near a tree. Scarab had fallen onto a rock. Caine was practically buried alive (even if only for a brief moment). And Bruga was nowhere to be seen. "Well, that escalated quickly." That was the only words she'd get out as she lightly snapped her fingers once more. On cue, three clones would fall from the sky and land near 3 important targets, sticking the landing as they fell to their destination.
Speak of the devil, as soon as Scarab made his cry, the first clone would land near him and the rock. With a simple nod, the clone would grab a free hand and pull him off the rock, before patting him on the back reassuringly. That would hopefully be enough to tell him all he needed to know.
The second would land near the humans, and like Scarab, would also pull the two of them up by grabbing them by the hand. And already, Kenny's head was spinning like crazy, the young man being forced to rub his forehead just to ease the pain. Only now were Kenna's words really starting to sink in for him as he looked at not only the devastation, but the perpetrator as well. "Sixty... four... million? Jesus H. Christ almighty..."To make matters worse, Gumo's chains were starting to fade away from his feet and dissolve into nothing. His heart started to sink into his toes. The clone merely put an arm in front of the two humans, ready to protect. Needless to say, the real Skadi was on notice right now. And she was ready to move given the chance.
The third would land just near Gyo himself. Just in time to hear his question. She'd simply follow along in the hunt for Bruga, her eyes darting everywhere on just where could she be, ready to do whatever possible to convince her to rejoin the fight and turn the tides in their favour - and Gumo's impossibly large mass against him. Thing was, the clones were simply not capable of speech.
In what could only be described as sheer desperation, Kenny swipes the card DR-28: Wings of the Wyvern, to get Skadi out of the meteoric quake. To help salvage this situation, Skadi summons her Shadowclones, one to join Scarab, one to join Gyo to help search for Bruga, and one to keep watch on the humans, and ready to act in case Gumo retaliates. Skadi also gains her second token from Buildup, increasing her current attack by +20%. Shadowclone: Skadi summons up 3 clones of herself. These clones possess the power of a normal Champion level, able to attack the post they were summoned and sharing all of her passives except Buildup, although when hit with any attack, whenever a standard attack or a named attack, these clones ‘die’ and leave a giant, harmless, but extremely thick white, and blinding smokescreen in their place that lasts for a post, only able to be blown away by wind attacks with a 3 post cooldown or higher, and/or any attack/ability that can clear off any AoE abilities like this. Each clone is treated as one individual Digimon, and will still be affected by any non-damaging buffs/debuffs they may be affected by. Once a total of 3 posts have passed, all still-active clones will automatically ‘die’ and generate their respective smokescreens at the end of the post. (3 post cooldown) Card Used: DR-28 Card Name: Wings of the Wyvern Type: Modify Rank: Gold Duration: 3 Posts Effect: Draconic wings sprout from the target Digimon's back, allowing them to fly. They offer unmatched stability, making the target Digimon very hard to knock out of the sky. Passives:Buildup (Passive): For every post that Skadi does not directly attack the opponent with an ability, she gains a token. This token increases her attack by 10%, up to a total count of 4 tokens. These tokens cannot be taken off by the opponent, nor can these boosts be reduced by any attacks or passives from any opponent. (For example, simply using her swords to parry the opponent or merely swinging her sword to attack will not affect Buildup. Using Dual Striker or Sliver Breaker does)
Keen Eye (Passive): Being a skilled swordswoman has it’s benefits. So that means that she gets a 1.3x boost to accuracy. This also allows her to see perfectly fine where she otherwise wouldn’t, including fog, smoke, and other weather conditions. Active Buffs/Debuffs:Buildup (+20% ATK): 2/4 active tokens DR-28: Wings of the Wyvern (Summon titular wings!): 1/3 Shadowclone (3 active clones): 1/3 Cooldowns:Fouet Brillant: 1/3 Shadowclone: Active Cards Used (1/7):DR-28: Wings of the Wyvern (1/2)

“That is correct, my transparent friend! We’ve been through a myriad of dangerous situations, but just as many wondrous sights! And ultimately, that's what brought us here.” Despite her fairly short stature, the Meicoomon stood proudly and confidently; there was not an ounce of hesitation on her gestures. And, of course, the wave of cheering that followed was definitely helping. Or maybe not. Not everyone liked kids. While innocent, Mana wasn’t the type to reveal her secrets, or why she could always put on a show no matter what. She remained conspicuously silent at first, but luckily the topic was promptly changed into something else. “Outside the village, you say? We’ve not examined the outskirts thoroughly, but I can confirm we’ve seen pretty scary things! You can count on us to do our best at trying to preserve this island! It’s the least we can do in order to repay the hospitality we have been given.” How things would go from now on? It seemed like the sisters had engaged an investigation mission; if this ClearAgumon was to be taken as an indicator regarding the rank-and-file of the village, it seemed like the kidnappings of the Unaba were only known to the higher ups of the village, which also meant that the village had a secret entrance as well. It also meant that they couldn’t approach this situation brazenly, or they could raise suspicions. An interesting challenge, all things considered. Mana nodded at the tidbit provided, but before she could respond to it, a massive roar coming from the distance resonated within the village, followed by nothing less than worthy of being added to the Meicoomon’s special effects list. A silent gesture in Nami’s way was followed by her making her way up into the sky in order to check out what exactly had happened. Or was happening, for that matter; what would they be able to observe? If there was anything important or that affected anyone else involved in this small endeavor, Nami was sure they would relay it through their comms. But otherwise, it was time for her to do some information gathering. Her sister, on the other hand, just shrugged at the development. “It seems like there’s an impending development on the horizon! The crux of opportunity, I’d dare to say. Travelers such as us live for this very moment.” A sagely nod followed. “Now, if you don’t mind! Where was that Phuzo Bar? I’d love to exchange words with the so-called ‘Science Wanyamon’.”

I'll do it my way. You'll do it your way. Sasha, Daichi, Nami, and Mana's inventory would start beeping yellow. Ozith Village IV. Jin had already explored the entirety of the surroundings of Kekeli Waterfall, so now it was up to the group to figure out what to do with this information. Kenna would pick up the call immediately. “Daichi.” She greeted the human, as the sound of typing and clicking accompanied her voice. Apparently, the scientist was still fairly busy, trying to reach the other group. However, she did stop for a moment to listen closely to this piece of information and try to answer as many of her peer’s inquiries as she could. “I think this was the consequence of a secret ability from a dinosaur fighting the Ultimate Brachimon group. I don’t know if it’ll happen again, but I doubt it’ll be as strong as this one if it does.” Not a lot more Kenna could contribute to that, besides the information she had already provided through the initial call, even if reassurance was not present in said input. Kenna remained quiet for a second or two after listening to everything Daichi explained. She did take the time to study the sign through the camera, too. “Oh. I know about the stone plates.” She made a pause to gulp. “As I mentioned earlier, Idayi Island’s weather is very unstable. Its climatic and natural conditions make it a place where natural disasters occur constantly. Until all of this started, I had been constantly working and develop technology to protect the dinosaurs from this but… recently, a tragedy occurred.” Another pause. Kenna’s tone of voice sounded notably more melancholic now. “One day, it started raining heavily. So heavily, the lakes overflowed, and… a tsunami hit the coast. As you can imagine, the only valley of the island, where Ozith Village is located… had the worst of it. These digimon died protecting the rest of the tribe from the deadly consequences. It's thanks to them a major tragedy, where the entirety of the village could have been wiped out, was avoided. They are Unaba’s Heroes. No. They’re the whole island’s heroes.”The purple-haired scientist let out a long sigh. Her voice… sounded like it was about to break at the end of that story. After some seconds, she spoke again, having regained wisps of her composure. “I don’t… think those are related to the sign, though. Basically, because I had never heard of it. Could it have been installed by the Unaba members, maybe? It doesn’t say anything about heroes, either. It mentions three guardians. In terms of a waterfall, I would say strength probably refers to its size… The bigger a waterfall, the strongest it is.” Kenna continued. “I did find more info about the secret entrance, though. I stumbled on a file that says the secret entrance can be found by going through the base of the waterfall where it is located at full speed. If you go through the falling water at enough speed, you’ll appear at the inner side of the rocky formation that constitutes the waterfall. It’s… very weird, but I trust this info. It’s in my files so…” She cleared her throat. “That being said, make sure you know which one is the right waterfall before trying this, or… you might hurt yourself and… lose valuable time in the process. It’s certainly not worth trying without a clear hint.” Suddenly, the inventory turned orange for a second. “I don’t remember anything about a sign either. Not that I have been in Unaba a lot but…” They could hear Bon’s voice now. “… maybe the sign was a way for the members of Unaba to mark where the secret entrance was, in a way only people who knew about Unaba could understand.” “Then again, the scratched and replaced word… That is odd. You did mention someone was there recently… right? Could it be someone got to the sign to change it? Why would they do that?” Kenna wondered. “If anything, I would say this particular task has two parts: Figuring out what the modified sign is telling you about the secret entrance, and then inferring through context if that’s the real information you must follow or someone changed it to deviate whoever was looking for it.”“That sounds about right, yes!” “I know it’s not easy, but I think you have all the information you need to pull this one off already.” Kenna reaffirmed. “I’m sorry, I wish I could stay so we could think together, but I really need to find a way of reestablishing these comms. A tip? Try to remember what you know about the village and its waterfalls, read the sign carefully and check the file about Ozith Village.” Before issuing her farewell, the purple-haired girl did address Han’s question. “That one… is probably a digimon from Unaba living in the lake. I have recently learned not all digimon from Unaba are initially hostile, so maybe it’s nothing to worry about. I think you have all of the info you need to find the secret entrance. Do interact with them at your own discretion. Take care!”
As Mana narrated her marvelous stories of bravery, a particular glow seemed to form in the ClearAgumon’s eyes. “That is… amazing!” He nodded excitedly. “So the Higher-ups were right! It is certainly dangerous out there.” He noted with a pensive toy finger over his toy mouth. “ That’s very scary…” Then, he blinked and looked back at Mana as she claimed to be, along with her sister, the heroes that would preserve this island. “Great! It’s glad to know the Higher-ups will have some help, then!”
After a short pause, where the ClearAgumon seemed to be internally debating whether he should ask this or not, he just took a deep breath and went for it. “S-S-Since you’re a strong pair of warriors…” He looked notably more nervous now than before. “… m-maybe I could ask something from you?” It seemed that, although hesitant, the transparent creature wanted to ask them something. “If you happen to leave… Ozith Village again… Could you get a Tyrant Flower for me?” He asked timidly. “It is a rare type of flower that doesn’t grow in the valley. It is not edible, but it can be used to make a natural infusion that is key in the treatment of chronic anxiety.” He explained. “Some of the digimon in the village had been… feeling very nervous about this whole thing. Not being able to go out, not knowing what the hell is happening out there… has many of us quite nervous. We have asked the Higher-Ups to get one of these for us but… since it is not a medicine for a physical disease nor an item that qualifies as food or water resources, they say it’s not up in the list of priorities in terms of supplies.” As this exposition progressed, the ClearAgumon seemed to feel a little more comfortable about asking for this. “Even if the situation ends soon, the consequences it may have on the digimon’s psyche are… quite heavy. So… we would still need the flower for future treatment. The good news is that, with a single flower, you can make an amount of infusion that will last for days even for a large group. The bad news is… that I have no idea where to find it. I’ve heard it grows in acidic environments where other flowers couldn’t normally grow. Maybe a digimon that knows more about these kinds of stuff could give you a clearer clue? A digimon that is used to working with ingredients and recipes…”Knowing the situation, the ClearAgumon did wave his toy hands dismissively. “I-I know I may be asking for too much so… just… do this if you get the chance, please? Although I cannot look for the flower itself, I may find a way of getting out of Ozith Village.” He whispered this last part. “If you do not plan on going back to Ozith at some point, you could tell me a place where you want me to wait for you. A place you will certainly visit in the future, so you could give the flower to me there. I don’t know if that’d make it easier for you.”It was after that very unique type of request, and regardless of whether they took this secondary mission or not, their interaction would continue. Even if Nami gained a decent amount of height, she wouldn’t be able to spot anything relevant at the moment. There was, however, a part of the horizon filled with trees (that seemed small at this distance), that lacked the characteristic green tonality the trees gave to the rest of the landscape. Could it be the earthquake happened around there? Whatever had occurred had transpired far away from their current position. Idayi was, after all, a quite sizeable island, and it didn’t seem like she could collect any information of what could have caused this from there. She could see, however, something approaching, flying from distance. It was still too small in the horizon to know what it was, though. “Oh! Right. The Phuzo Bar.” The ClearAgumon nodded. “You just have to go through that path and take the first right. You’ll find a big building that has a sign with a bottle up top. It’s one of the few buildings made of wood around, so it’s hard to miss.” The dinosaur noted. “Actually… I think… it’s the way that Vorvomon is going.”
He was right. There was a Vorvomon flying with haste in the direction the ClearAgumon had pointed. Why was he in such a hurry? Ultimate Brachimon IV. Although being able to fly away from lethal danger in time, the Ultimate Brachimon group was not exempt from the consequences of the sheer chaos caused by the massive wave that Gumo's fall generated. Luckily, they would be able to regain full control of their senses in due time, ending only with a few scratches and living to actually reconsider the dimensions of what they had done. They had made a digimon become probably the heaviest creature they would ever be in front of, after all. A few minutes had passed when their vision became clear enough for them to descry a small perception of their surroundings. Even if their own senses were back at full functioning and the dizziness was fading away, the dust still covering the whole area didn’t make things easier. Sadly, as minutes passed, communications with Kenna remained dead. If they tried dialing yellow, the inventory would only produce static noise. “In what universe did that seem like a good idea?”
Suddenly, a deeper voice would reach them. From starters, it would be quite easy to tell whoever was talking to them was closer to Gyo than anyone else’s, even if still occupying more or less the same area and being able to address everyone. From among the dust, shiny wisps of fire could be seen, dimly dancing around a humanoid figure. This being remained floating above them, kind of at the same height the original Skadi had reached. “I swear, I’d just wish people could stop making a mess of this island for one full minute.” He noted. Although his words were critical, his tone of voice sounded kind of… nonchalant. “I don’t think I had ever wakened up before 11 am in my whole life and now this happens.” The silhouette observed its surroundings as it spoke, even if its unconcerned behavior remained unable to denote real preoccupation. As it spoke, the dust around its figure kept fading off, letting the group see they were actually talking to a digimon. The visage of this Fladramon, in particular, had two things that would raise anyone’s attention. First of all, he had wisps of fire circling around him, just as they had been able to note before. These bits of fire-like energy seemed to be the ones responsible for him being able to float freely, a trait Fladramons usually didn’t have. The second thing that stood up? He was holding a small Kotemon under his right arm. Said Kotemon seemed to be completely safe, to boot! “Ugg—h! Let me go, Bush-league Hero!” She seemed… quite annoyed though. Thrashing and kicking for the dragon to release her. Slowly, the Fladramon started descending, all while the dust continued to disappear and make everything more visible for everyone. Once it hit the ground, Bruga was finally able to release herself and fell face-first to the ground. She quickly stood up and turned to look at the Fladramon. “I didn’t need your help, okay!?” Although her face was not visible through that mask, one could assume she was throwing a raspberry at the dragon man. Somehow, Bruga’s attitude was a bit more childish when interacting with this Fladramon. Quickly, the Kotemon turned around and ran towards Kenny. “You…!” She managed while sprinting with her arms flailing behind her. Meanwhile, the Fladramon turned his head to look up above, addressing the real Skadi. “Don’t worry. Gumo is unconscious. I already checked.” He noted. “Usually, his skills for weight increasing don’t affect the effects his own moves have on him, but… I think you broke him. We probably have some time until he wakes up.” A pause. "That was extremely feckless, though. You could have killed someone." He squinted. “You said…!” Bruga finally got to Kenny and Scarab, addressing the human directly. “...you know Kenna!?” Although mildly annoyed or unconcerned up to this point, this time the Kotemon looked really agitated. She really needed this answer. “Is she… alive?” Her voice broke for a second. “W-What did you say?” The Fladramon’s eyes widened, immediately turning his head towards the Kotemon and Kenny. “Hey. What are you talking about, Bruga?”“He said it, Qhawe! I heard him!” Bruga turned back to look at the Fladramon for a second, before turning back to Kenny. “You said a lady on the line told you about my skill and Gumo’s! It can only be her! She’s the only one who knows about all of our skills!” Fire had been lit in this Kotemon’s eyes. The fire of hope. “Why didn’t you tell me before? I would have helped if I knew you were friends with…!”“H-Hold on, Bruga…! Let him explain.” Even the Fladramon, who maintained a quite passive attitude so far, seemed a little fretted about this. This all became more evident as the dust had fully faded and they could see the expressions in these digimons faces. Suddenly, the group’s inventory would start to beep orange. Bon’s voice would sound either they picked up or now. “Oh gosh. That was harder than I thought. These emergency lines are a bit wobbly, but they’ll do for now. Are you okay? Can anyone hear me?” The Agumon asked. “Phew. That was messy. Kenna still can’t reach you. I think the impact damaged the receptors around. Please, report everything that has happened to me for now, and I’ll pass the info to her.”“ B-BON!?” Qhawe and Bruga would ask in unison. The Kotemon would just… let her knees fall to the ground. It was almost as if she had been carrying a huge weight on her shoulders until now. Something even heavier than Gumo. The grief for something she didn't know if she had actually lost. A massive weight that had finally been… relieved. “They’re… alive. T-They’re…. a-alive…” She managed. Was she… crying? Mysterious Ship IV. Sasha would be able to swiftly get below the table and cover herself with the tablecloth right on time. As the Shamamon stood up, he started issuing intelligible grumbles, probably complaining. Once he had reincorporated, Sasha would hear a loud yawn from the ogre. Then, some steps. Although these denoted the digimon was getting closer to the table, they didn’t sound particularly aggressive, which would probably let Sasha know her location had not been disclosed, at least for now. Then, the Russian would hear the sound of a vulnerable surface like glass moving over her head, softly being put on the wood. Suddenly, the whole environment would get very cold, almost as if the temperature of the room had decreased dramatically. “Eh, Lire.” A raspy, deep voice, that seemed to match the sounds the Shamamon was issuing earlier, resonated inside the room, very close to Sasha. This creature was standing in front of the table that worked as her hideout, apparently communicating with someone else. “What the hell was that?”A soft, child-like voice, answered. “Did you hear it, too? I have no clue.” Whoever was talking to the Shamamon seemed to be hiding, or at least in some type of scenario where she couldn’t raise her voice a lot. “ It didn’t come from here, though. Maybe it happened around the center of the island?”“That’s where Korka is, isn’t it? Have you been able to reach them yet?” “No luck. Ever since they entered the factory the line’s been dead. I haven’t tried a lot, though. I’m waiting for the meeting at 11 am. After that, I’ll see what I can do.” A pause. “How are things in the ship, Bruyne?”“Very quiet. I don’t think the dinosaurs on this island can afford to come here with everything that’s going on. I swear, it looks like this island is full of different groups with conflicting interests. ” “Be careful, though. We know she is here.” “In all honesty? I’m more worried about Amelie. She’s gonna’ get us all killed.” “I don’t trust her, either. But she’s strong. Let’s keep her on our side for as long as we can. If anything…”“Someone’s coming…” Another voice could be heard whispering, coming from the other side of the line. “W-What? I-Ina… wait!” Lire protested. “Tsk. I’ll call you later.”
Once the call was over, the Shamamon let out another loud yawn. Then, some more steps could be heard, this time walking away from the table. The sound of a door opening and then closing echoed inside the room. Then? Silence. Complete silence. Was Sasha ready to go out and explore? And where was she planning to start? It's 8:11 am! The skies are clear and the morning started.

Well apparently the earthquake was caused by something happening on the other side and hopefully not something that would be likely to happen again or at the very least not as strong as that one, with that out of the way Kenna proceed to answer most of his doubts tho he regretted asking about the stone plates or even thinking about being related to the secret path to the village, he really needs to get his head out of videogames just reading the sign and seeing the stone plates made him assume it was some kind of graveyard puzzle.
Letting out a sigh he focus on what Kenna had to say about the waterfalls and the sign, so the guardians refers to the waterfalls and the strongest probably means size since the bigger it is the strong is the water that falls, well as the purple haired woman said he has two task figure out what the scratched word is and which is the fall with the passage, she also confirm him that the serpent like creature was probably a Digimon that might not be hostile, it doesn't reassure him much but his partners are here for a reason and hopefully they won't have to fight
"Thanks Kenna and uh... Sorry if I brought a bad memory with the Heroes of Unaba stone plates, I promise we'll do our best to solve this I'll communicate once we made progress" He said and ended the communication
"So the guardian means the waterfall and the strongest is the tallest" Han said repeating what little he caught of the conversation
"The sign says the the three guardians protect a mystic treasure would that mean the secret path or something else?" Jin mused
"We should think about that later, first we need to figure out the actual word that was scratched, it's clear that this guy favor strength and the waterfall behind Ozith in the folder was huge if I were to make a secret passage that sends me to the village I'd take that waterfalls as it literally puts you behind it."
"But that's a problem! If we assume that the stronger waterfall is the biggest one that means it can't be the one behind the village in the folder because for this path we are taking we have no access to the main waterfall"
"Yeah I do agree with that and of course "Strongest" being the trap word, if we read the sentence it also doesn't make sense the way it's phrased, if I had to guess the word that makes more sense is weakest"
"However the weakest of them, as expected hides a secret within it's fragility" That definitely make more sense but now we have to find out which is the weakest waterfall"
"But we do know, Kenna said it when we decide to take the stealth approach Kekeli is the smallest of the three so we are at the right place..."
So that mean that they had only one thing to do and being honest Daichi really didn't like the idea, even if this was the smallest waterfall that thing was huge and if they miss they would end up swimming with that thing and that's the best case scenario in the worst they could hit their heads with a rock or fall to the bottom and drowned and all the possible scenarios where already being drawn on the teen's head, BUT this was not the time he wanted to test himself and now it was the moment.
He took a deep breath and walk as far away as he could from the waterfall to have a safe running start and be sure to reach enough speed, it would probably be better to have one of his partners take the leap for him but if they were on the right place that would only delay the inevitable
"I trust you guys will help me if I fall down..." He took another deep breath "I got to do this... I'm not scared, I'm not scared" He repeated to himself and then started running towards the waterfall
The twins were dumbfounded to say or do anything as they saw their tamer running towards the waterfall and having his mind set on taking the leap! For a digimon it would be no problem but for a human? When the initial shock passed they both realized that it was late to stop him now so they could only hope for the best and be ready for anything.
As he was getting closer Daichi only closed his eyes and jump towards the waterfall hoping he had enough speed to clear the falling water and get to the other side, there was no turning back now!

There was something mildly off-putting about the sheer silence that had followed the group in the few minutes after what may well come to be known as La Caida De Gumo in the annals of history. "Guuuuuh...Tell me about it." Scarab murmured as he wrenched himself free and took to a few inches off the ground.
"We don't seem to be dead." The Stingmon noted, before he glanced over and up to where the original Skadi had gone. "It was a calculated effort to use Gumo's own technique against him that unfortunately worked too well. Please trust us when we say that none of this was our intention."
As much as he wanted to yell about it, such would not avail the group. "...Good to see you're alive, Bruga." Hisato managed, before he put a hand to his ear. He had observed Gyo flying around earlier, so... "Hey, Gyo. We found Bruga, get over here." That was a call that the crimson ExVeemon heeded as he flew back over, touching down next to Scarab as Caine dusted himself off.
"No need to tell them twice." The Impmon spoke towards the Flamedramon, Qhawe, before he nodded once. "You are correct. Kenna yet lives, as does her partner. They sent us here to help with the issue of a colossal Ultimate Brachimon."
Hisato looked to his inventory, before answering it. "Hi, Bon. Sorry about that. Um. Our plan kind of worked and...didn't in the form of 'we broke Gumo.' Everyone's alive, thankfully, and we've also encountered a Flamedramon, Qhawe that is friendly with Bruga. ...Also, please tell them both are very happy to know you and her are okay. Regarding the earthquake, the plan was my idea. So if you're going to yell at anyone, yell at me."
"That's my job, asshole." "Fuck off, Caine."
In the meantime, Gyo would lumber a bit closer to Bruga, before squatting down to meet her in height. "...You good? Got anything to let off your chest?" Yeah, she was...absolutely crying. And while Gyo was probably not the best at helping the downtrodden or the grieving, he was still at least willing to try.
"...Hey, Bon, while I have you, can you send us a map of this...area? I don't know how possible it is right now with the earthquake having thrown stuff around but we could use it. Sorry..." Hisato would then look to Qhawe, Bruga, then Kenny. "We should probably get moving before Gumo wakes up. We still have a mission to do."

Well that was certainly a lot for Sasha to take note off. There were at least four, potentially five crewmembers, three or four of them already on the island doing...something, possibly nefarious in nature even! Though it was too early to say if the as of yet still unnamed Shamamon was the only one left to guard the ship. Speakng of names one of the ones she overheard gave her some pause.
Obviously they couldn't mean that Amelie, right? Her french, eldritchly inclined team boss? She wasn't even involved in this operation! Whatever the case there wasn't really time for her to dwell on that for long. As soon as she was sure that Shamamon wouldn't come back into the room, she slowly and carefully got out form her hidey hole under the table, dusting herself off as she approached the door out of the cabin. She considered using the tablecloth as a rope to get Bon up, but decided against it. The time it would take to move everything from the table just to get the cloth stealthily was time she most likely didn't have.
She'd carefully open the door enough for her to peek her head outside of it and, provided there wasn't anyone around, would make her way out. From here it suddenly dawned on her she didn't really knew where to go. Well, it was too late for her to change her mind or wait for reinforcements anyhow.
Didn't mean she couldn't ask for her some help though, after all that Inventory was her personal land line to safety. "I made into the ship, seems some of the crew are already doing something somewhere on various places of the islands, at least one of them is inside a factory of some sort? I think they're aware of our work on the island and Kenna's to some extent...don't think they know I'm aboard their place yet though." She whispered into her now yellow colored inventory, walking while partially leaning into the wall, pressing her weight against it so that she could walk as softly and stealthily as possible.
"I'll try to find if maybe there's some more clues on the cargo or cabins but...to be honest, I'm kinda at a loss..." She mused, trying to find for any other potentially interesting door and making sure to avoid any stairs going up or anything like it that could lead her to the deck."...say Kenna, can you see anything interesting from your end? Maybe run a scan or something and tell me if you see...anything really? How many people are aboard, if they're carrying anything potentially interesting or such?" As she said that she'd turn the Inventory around, panning it around Sasha as she made her way around the ship, making sure to aim it so that Kenna could have a good look at everything around her.

Well, weren’t things just beginning to move? It was pretty fun how it just took a little prodding for things to restart with a kick to it. Understandably, as all the current events were unfolding, both Kenna and Bon seemed fairly concerned about the current events. Given the fact that Mana was busy with her newest transparent buddy, Nami picked the line this time around. It was definitely a good thing each had their comms, wasn’t it? With any luck, and hopefully unlike the last time, the call wouldn’t be for an useless reason. For the time being, the Meicoomon listened attentively to what the duo had to say before responding. “Uncertainty. I’ll try my best to contact the wayward group. As far as I can see, the consequences of the tremors in Ozith have been fairly minimal, but I can ascertain that by the epicenter of the event, they must’ve been pretty powerful. Will keep you updated on the situation from my position.” Ultimate Brachimon… who were those, anyway? Cobalt, purple, light blue, white, light green, and turquoise. Wasn’t that like, half the comms in less than half the individual units present for this mission? Nami could only wonder who or what could’ve created such an imbalance. In any case… “Contact. Nami speaking.” Grey could be a hard color to observe, after all. “I request a briefing regarding the events of the Ultimate Brachimon group. Please provide an updated report of your current situation.” If anything of importance was sent her way, she’d just send it back to Kenna and Bon. And probably to the rest of the groups, in case they weren’t listening/being broadcasted to already. In the meantime, it seemed like Mana was already friends with a ClearAgumon. Maybe she had resorted to some deception, but putting a village they wanted to fit into a state of panic wasn’t the soundest choice, probably. “Precisely! We’re very happy to lend our abilities for the betterment of this village. With some luck, we’ll be able to contain the oncoming darkness and march forward to a brighter future!” Of course, this didn’t only apply to fighting epic battles and emerging victorious! There were other battles to be fought, such as taking care of the people who were too mentally feeble to take care of themselves! As a digimon of heroism, Mana listened to what the ClearAgumon had to say, ultimately nodding decisively. “Fear not, my blocky friend! While the future is uncertain and trying to grasp all its possibilities would be an act of utter foolishness, I assure you I’ll try my best to procure the item you speak of! Even though I’m unsure of possible drop points myself, unless the situation turns completely critical, there should be no issue with me going back here! But if that fails, try looking at the village’s outer walls. That’ll be our backup strategy!” There was no time to lose, however! The Meicoomon’s way had been dictated by a stray Vorvomon; she had to make haste unless she pretended to miss a date with destiny! “Thank you very much, brave civilian! Now, if you excuse me, I have to make haste if I want to reach my destination. If you need anything else, please talk with my sister up above!” Of course, Nami had been listening to the whole conversation from her position. It was a good thing that her sister tended to be obnoxiously loud, except when discussing things like secret drop points to aid in the contraband of herbs. It also meant she had to make a couple calls. From her conjectures, there were two people who could know the location of that so-called ‘Tyrant Flower’. The first one was the so-called ‘Science Wanyamon’; if his name was anything to go by, maybe he’d know something about the whole deal, even though according to the ClearAgumon, he was new to town so that was a bit of a coin flip. The other option was more likely. Kenna and Bon had been able to monitor this whole island for the longest time, and probably knew a fair deal about it. Which also meant… “Request. Do Bon or Kenna know where the plant called ‘Tyrant Flower’ is found? Conversation suggests it grows in acidic environments. Any clues regarding it?” On the other hand, there was this object who was flying towards her current position. What could it be? Hopefully she’d be able to confirm whether it was something to be aware of or just another thing product of the other groups’ doing.

Post by Kenny O'Hara and Skadi on Jun 22, 2021 4:28:58 GMT
Things weren't exactly looking up for Kenny so far. Even as the dust started to clear, his migraine refused to die down, and now the loud, intense ringing in his ears all but drowned out Scarab's words. Did he die? At this point, he wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be true. All he knew was that it would probably be a while before he would recover from the impact, and he'd slowly force himself to pull himself up, with the clone's assistance, his legs shaking all the while.
"Whu- what you say? You said you have an idea?" He groggily moaned as he weakly turned his head towards the seemingly ghost-like figure in question. Skadi and her clones would also turn their heads towards the figure as well, the real one following the figure down to the ground in turn, and the others merely standing there, or in the case of the Gyo following one, returning to the figure.
Still, the real Skadi would speak on Scarab's behalf towards the understandably concerned Fladramon, "He's right. We received information from our good friend here that not only that Gumo could increase his weight every time he got involved in any attack or technique, but also Bruga here could practically slow her down to a snail's pace. But, well..." She awkwardly drummed her fingers together, "We honestly didn't anticipate... that happening."
Still reeling from the aftereffects of the earthquake, however, Kenny would inadvertently step back as Bruga seemingly 'charged' towards him. But even through all the ringing and the never-ending migraines threatening to follow him to the grave, Bruga's words, and Qhawe's reaction, still managed to get through his mind, and, after a few moments of comprehension, well...
"W- wait, you guys know who Kenna is? I- I mean, yeah, she's alive and well, just like Caine here said." He managed to build a reassuring smile despite the aforementioned daze, even as it finally started to die out, before gently petting the now-ailing Kotemon on the shoulder, "I'm sorry we forgot to tell you that earlier. Truth be told, I'm not exactly the best with my words."
"To be more specific, Kenna's sent us here to help deal with the Ultimate Brachimon in question, which she tells us has been causing trouble with it's massive earthquakes around here. And if we're able to subdue it, we might be able to save not just the entire island itself, but the other Digimon from the other tribes as well. That's the best as I can put it, anyways."
That is, if Kenna wasn't calling for their heads over this.
The sudden beeping would quickly cut him off, as he and Skadi would, too, look at their inventories, only to hear Bon's voice crackle over the line. Despite Sato claiming responsibility for their little gambit with Gumo, Kenny would be quick to jump in shortly afterwards, "Actually, me and Skadi admittedly did go into that plan as well, no questions asked. Feel free to yell at us as well. It's not like we were complete and utter saints here, either."
Wait a minute, did they know who Bon was too?
Yeah, who could blame Bruga for practically losing herself right then and there?
With a sad sigh, the SilverGrademon would still also go down to Bruga's height, and it'd be hard for the latter to not spot the reassuring glint in her eyes, "No matter what, we'll be here to help you every step of the way. By the time this is over, we promise you, you will see Kenna and Bon again." Whatever misgivings that may have developed over that initial spat had practically withered and died. If she looked over to Kenny, he'd merely give a simple nod and smile to reassure her that, yes, it was a promise.
Regardless, Hisato was right. They had a mission. "Well, might as well use these fancy wings and clones while I still have them, right? I'll keep a good eye out on anything, or anyone, important. My clones will stay on the side for now, ready to react just in case another Gumo-shaped threat comes barging at us again."
Enough talk for now. They had an Ultimate Brachimon to find.
Relevant passive allows Skadi to see through the dust clouds: Keen Eye (Passive): Being a skilled swordswoman has it’s benefits. So that means that she gets a 1.3x boost to accuracy. This also allows her to see perfectly fine where she otherwise wouldn’t, including fog, smoke, and other weather conditions.
Tracking the following active buffs due to the relevance to the situation at hand: Active Buffs/Debuffs: DR-28: Wings of the Wyvern (Summon titular wings!): 2/3 Shadowclone (3 active clones): 2/3
