Despite the sounds of various volcanoes erupting around the Spears of Megiddo LJ was sitting down somewhere away from the erupting volcanoes trying to meditate in an effort to gain better control of not only his magic but his emotions as well since he didn't want to have another incident like the one he had awhile back. He didn't want to come off as an insensitive blockhead either so over time he was also determined to work on improving his tact as well.
As he breathed he closed his eyes to enter a meditative trance. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. This continued for awhile as he slipped into a trance his magic forming a seemingly peaceful looking light purple aura around him but he was unaware of it since his focus was on his meditation. So unknown to the young Leomon X he had begun floating a bit at a time off the ground. Then he felt something amiss and opened his brown eyes though the aura around him was still present and realized he was floating about ten feet off the ground. "Wha? How? How did I do that?" LJ squeaked out looking around before he continued "For that matter, how the heck do I get down?"

"Beta, just why on earth did you want to come here?" A slightly annoyed Hackmon asked with his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he followed after another Hackmon of a different type, surrounding this place were plenty of Volcanos, things that usually weren't very stable and had a tendency to explode a lot. Alpha for one didn't like explosions unless he was the one causing them so opening up the flood gates to exploding himself didn't exactly sounds like a fun idea to him.
His sister on the other hand simply gave him a smile, not even turning to look at her brother before responding. "I've never seen a Volcano before, so large and destructive. It's interesting don't you think?" Beta did want to learn more about the world after all, traveling around just made sense for her to do. Expanding her world far beyond that room she was stuck in before.
Alpha did have to admit it was interesting, such a destructive force. Though he didn't like being out in the open, especially on a Island they weren't familiar with. Though thinking on it he doubted that Myotismon would look for them here of all places, after all why would the twins come here? Even if a fight did break out hey, at least the two of them could go all out without caring much about the area.
As the two walked Alpha looked over to the side, he didn't have a reason he just felt like it. As he did though he saw something that was a bit odd. "Hey Beta, am I seeing things or is that Leomon X floating?" Alpha pointed at the digimon in question, maybe it was a trick of the light.
Beta looked over and tilted her head to the side confused. "I think so? Is that something Leomon X are known to do?" Beta wasn't too keen on everything every digimon could do. Alpha simply shrugged since he didn't know either. Beta quickly decided this warranted investigating and rushed over. Alpha had to admit his was curious also and went over, though slowly.
"Hey, how are you doing that?" Beta asked not having heard the Leomon's question on how to get down. "Also hi I'm Beta, that's my brother Alpha." Beta pointed over to her twin who had finally made his way over. Both waiting to hear the answer.

Before LJ could so much as comprehend the concept of panic at the thought of never being able to get down he heard a voices directed at him from the ground. One of the questions asked of him was how are you doing that? Looking down he spotted two Hackmon and they were one of each kind. Looking at himself he noticed he was glowing with a light purple aura before looking back at the pair ten feet below him as she introduced herself as Beta and the other as her brother Alpha.
"I'm LJ but as for how I got up here I'm not so sure." LJ said as he looked himself over again before he then said "But I think my magic is part of the problem. I haven't been able to control it very well since I digivolved so I don't know how to get down. To think I was just trying to meditate when I got in this mess. I feel like an idiot."
Unknown to the group a small flock of Saberdramon were on the hunt and would soon be upon them as they had seen LJ's magical glow. Though territorial, they were curious of the glow and knew their leader would be interested when they found out what the glowing was about.

Magic huh, well then that would definitely explain it if either of the twins had even the slightest concept on magic. "Magic?" Beta tilted her head to the side, the word was new to her after all. Alpha recalling this decided he should quickly just explain.
"It's an ability that Wizardmon and digimon like em can use. I should know a friend of mine back in Terminus can use it. Though usually he'd rather just punch his problems." Part of Alpha wondered how he was doing, but he quickly shut that aside for now, he was still with Myotismon after all. Can't be trusted.
"Oh, so he's related to a Wizardmon then?" Beta picked up on that fast, Alpha shrugged since he didn't know this digimon's history. though where LJ came from wasn't exactly the problem now, the problem was how to get the Leomon down from the sky.
"Yeah, don't know either. Hmm, Hey Beta. Give me a hand." Alpha walked over to a bit under the Leomon and held his claws down for Beta to step on. "I'll throw you up and you use you're stupid strength to toss him down." Beta wasn't sure at all that this was a good idea, but she trusted Alpha so eh.
Stepping on Alpha's claws for a moment he threw all his weight up and tossed Beta into the air above him, Beta would reach out and grab LJ's leg before throwing all her weight down with the intent to get him back onto the ground. Alpha after tossing his sister dashed away, obviously not wanting to get crushed by the Leomon.

It seemed Alpha and Beta didn't encounter that many magic digimon in their travels judging by how puzzled they sounded but were able to theorize that he was related to a Wizardmon. "Yeah one of my dads is a Wizardmon to be exact but, unlike him, my magic lay mostly dormant until recent times."
Then Alpha came up with an idea that LJ wasn't to certain about regarding him planning to toss his sister up to him and yank him down. Before he could protest though two things happened simultaneously. First Beta grabbed ahold of him and used her full weight to pull him down. Second the light purple aura surrounding him ceased as if someone just pulled the plug on his power. From there gravity took care of the rest as LJ clumsily struggled to land on his feet while Beta got out of his way.
"Thanks for helping me out. I was worried I was going to be stuck up there until some aggressive predator picked me off." LJ said with a sigh of relief. "Yet when Beta was pulling on me it felt as if my magic just shut itself off. Weird."
Some distance away the cries of the Saberdramon were heard. Though the glow of LJ's magic had ceased they had seen the cause and began speeding up. Soon they would close in on the intruders.
Hearing the cries of birds in the distance, LJ's ears twitched before he asked "Hey, Alpha. Beta. Do you guys hear that?"

So Alpha was right, he was related to a Wizardmon... Alpha wondered if the Wizardmon also spoke, Oddly, as his friend did. As Beta threw the Leomon down she noticed it didn't seem to take as much effort as she thought it would, kinda just tossed em down. "Ahh see, worked like a charm." Even if it wasn't Alpha's intent for the magic to just go at least his plan did something.
However Beta got that look on her face that Alpha was familiar with, when she didn't know about something. "What's a dad?" Beta asked as she landed near LJ, backing up a bit so she was next to her brother.
"A dad is your parent, a digimon that either raised or created you." Alpha quickly responded, they had a lot to go before Beta was up to the same speed as everyone but at least these questions were being asked now then later.
"Do we have a dad Alpha?" Beta tilted her head to the side, very unsure of it herself.
"That... Actually is a good question, I mean Cici's like our mom so is there another one we just don't know about?" Alpha had considered Myotismon a dad before but those feelings were starting to feel sick to think about lately. "Anyway that's not important now. Maybe just Beta grabbing you made it disperse, you did say there wasn't much control over it."
However whatever they were talking about would have to wait as both Alpha and Beta heard something cry out, sounded like birds. "Mhm, Whatever it is I'd rather not linger. C'mon Beta, LJ." If something cried out like that then Alpha's first instinct was to probably make tracks, after all who knows what dangers could be around here.
"Yeah come with us, I wanna hear more about magic." Beta didn't seem to worried, if that was because she was tough or because she was dense nobody knew.

LJ knew that some digimon didn't have parents in the sense he did but the trick was how to explain what a dad was without coming off as a jerk. Because he worried about coming across as offensive he was glad the Alpha took over filling his sister in.
After Alpha spoke for awhile LJ said "Well it sounds as if you two had at least someone to care for you. That and you have each other so you probably rarely get lonely."
As the sounds of birds grew closer LJ's ears twitched as he turned his head in the direction of the sound. There were definitely more than one and he didn't feel like risking being bird food either. "I agree with you Alpha. The fact that they seem to be picking up the pace makes me uncomfortable." LJ said as he began walking and had a feeling the siblings would likely follow.
It seemed he was right as Beta seemed to want to know more about magic. Which was fair enough since not just every digimon had magic. "Well other than that floating incident earlier my magic for example is more combat based. I can conjure handheld weapons or channel magic into my hands and feet to fight. My Wizardmon father has a much more versatile bag of tricks that's for sure but I'm not jealous of either of my dads. In fact I'm trying my best to be more like them but hitting some rough spots along the way as living on my own is tougher than I thought it would be."

Beta seemed to beam when LJ mentioned her not getting lonely. "Yup, I'm glad I'm not alone anymore. Ever since I met Alpha we've been together since then." That had, quite a lot of questions behind it, the most obvious one being the fact she implied that they hadn't been together long.
"Yeah, pretty much just traveling together now. Its been taking some getting used to having someone around." Alpha definitely wasn't used to Beta being around but he was starting to warm up to his sister, that and her stupid strength and pain tolerance made it so she was at least a valuable asset to him.
Luckily LJ seemed to agree with Alpha to get a move on. "Yeah, personally I'd rather not get into any fights if I can help it, best to try and avoid trouble." Despite all this training he had been doing over the past few weeks he still wasn't too keen on rushing headfirst into battles left and right. So Alpha and shortly after Beta started moving away from the location.
"Oh, so you can use this magic for combat?" Alpha seemed to tense up for a quick second, like he knew what the next thing on his sisters mind was, to ask LJ to fight the two of them. Which is a request she gave to literally everyone they came across. Though to his surprise the next words out of her mouth were simply. "That's cool, hope you find your own way then. I'm sure it'll be great." Alpha let out a sigh of relief, Beta turned his head over to him tilting it to the side curious.
"It's nothing, anyway. You're in a Champion form right? is that the highest you can go?" Figuring he'd change the subject so Beta doesn't ask for a brawl soon after was a good idea.

"At least when I get lonely I can swing by one of my grandparents homes or even make contact with my parents to meet with them, when I'm not in school that is." he said as the Saberdramon's cries were getting louder even though the group had started moving. "They don't give up so easily. I guess it didn't help that when I was floating I was glowing like a nightlight."
LJ looked at Beta and said "Yeah I hope I find my own way. It's part of growing up after all. While I work on my magic I also have other flaws I have to work on but I think I'll be okay in time."
When Alpha asked if champion was the highest he could go, LJ nodded before he said "Yeah, I just reached this level a short time ago and that's when my magic stopped being mostly dormant. Maybe I should seek out someone for help with control."
As the Saberdramon's cries grew louder again LJ looked back and forth spotting a cave. He then pointed at it and said "Maybe we can hide in there until they loose interest and go home."

Beta got another look on her face, like she was going to ask a question and Alpha figured he knew what the question was. But at the same time he didn't really know the answer himself. "What's a 'school'?" That was definitely a newer word to the Hackmon, looking at Alpha since he usually had answer Beta wondered, but he just shrugged a bit. There weren't really any schools in the digital world after all.
But more pressing matters were at hand as there seemed to be another cry from whatever was following them, though from what LJ said they might just be following him. Well we can go champion too if we need to so maybe it'd be better just to face them head on.... Though I'd say lets try and avoid fighting for a bit longer." He still had a few tricks up his sleeve after all.
As LJ pointed out the cave they could dive into to try and avoid the digimon, well time to do that plan he thought of. "Beta do me a favor, grab that rock and chuck it in that direction." Alpha pointed to the left of the cave, Beta shrugged and grabbed the rock. Lifting it up and throwing it to the distance he pointed.
"Well if the thing hunting us thinks the digimon they're hunting can fly they might follow that instead, might not work but it's better then doing nothing." Alpha shrugged, it was the best he could think of in a short time as he and Beta started walking into the cave.

When Beta asked what a school was LJ was kind of surprised but then he thought 'Maybe they haven't been to the Human World. That could explain the confusion as I myself haven't seen many schools in the Digital World.'
What may help if they had to fight later was that the siblings could reach champion level so such a fight would be a bit more even since it definitely sounded like more than one bird out there. Seemed Alpha had a plan as he directed his sister to pick up a rock a chuck it some distance away from them in an effort to maybe distract the incoming threats.
"Wow." was all LJ was able to say as Beta's feat of strength was beginning to remind him of his other dad. As the rock flew LJ headed into the cave with Alpha and Beta. "Shame I didn't get one of my dad's gift of casting illusions or the others super strength because that was awesome, Beta." he said as he moved deeper inside away from the cave entrance so he couldn't be spotted as easily. As he was about to sit down he felt something and looked deeper in the cave. It felt as if something powerful was releasing its energy but in gentle pulses. When he last felt something like that it was a digimental. Could it be? "Guys, do you feel that. It feels like there is something further back in the cave."
Meanwhile the fast moving Saberdramon shrieked as they had to divert their flight path as the lead one almost flew head on into the rock. Now more cautious they continued in the direction the rock came from wanting to know why it came flying at them or more like who was responsible.

Beta just gave a toothy grin as LJ mentioned she was awesome. "Yup, I'm really strong. I also don't feel much pain either usually." It took quite a bit to knock her down, which her brother seemed to collaborate with.
"I've seen her take on direct attacks without flinching, scary thing is if she gets hit she gets even stronger." Alpha added figuring he should let LJ know, just in case they do get into a fight. "I prefer stealth myself, sneak in get a few hits and sneak out." Alpha let his claws show for a second as he mentioned that, he seemed pretty confidant he was good at what he did.
"Feel something? ....Huh. Maybe?" Beta tilted her head as she tried to focus, but she couldn't get a clear image on what she was feeling.
"Something but it's pretty faint, suppose it's worth investigating at least." who knows, maybe it was something that could make them stronger, that was very doubtful but hey anything could happen after all.
"Alpha, we told Cici where we're going right?" For some reason that was now on the Hackmon's head, after all she couldn't remember telling her and they told her just about everything.
"Eh, knowing her she's probably following us now, I wouldn't worry too much about it." That was one thing he could count on, that Sistermon was good at following the twins.

So you're really durable too, Beta? I guess it makes sense seeing as it isn't uncommon for strong digimon to be durable as well. Sounds like you would be tough to face in a fight." LJ said and when Alpha mentioned that he preferred stealth attacks, LJ then said "Sounds like you two balance each other out. Reminds me of my dads. One is a Wizardmon and a cunning magician capable of outsmarting or disrupting opponents while my Leomon father is super strong and a cunning strategist."
It seemed the two Hackmon were in agreement with investigating the depths of the cave. Then Beta mentioned their parental figure Cici again and he said "If she's following you guys I hope she hasn't gotten into any trouble especially with whatever bird digimon were lurking outside the cave."
Heading deeper into the cave LJ found it odd that as they went deeper it didn't seem to get any darker. In fact after awhile it got slightly brighter but not in an uncomfortable way. Soon they came upon a wide passageway and at the end of it was what looked like a dark egg. LJ stepped closer for a better look and noticed what looked like a pair of black feathery wings folded in front covering what looked like twin swords crossed. "Definitely doesn't look like the first digimental I found."

Beta had her usually smile on her face, but tilted her head to the side like she usually did when she was confused. "I guess we do balance each other out, though we have a hard time fighting together. Cici says it's cause we're not in Synch when we fight," Considering the few fights they've had they've dealt more damage to each other then the opponent that's an understatement.
Though the mention of Cici following them did bring up if she got in trouble with the birds outside. "Doubt it, hell most of the time we don't even notice her. She's pretty good at what she does." Sneaking around behind the twins like that, they rarely ever noticed her.
"Plus she's like, really strong. Has a buncha weird weapons also. We haven't won a fight against her yet." Beta was smiling when she mentioned that but the look on Alpha's face was less then enthusiastic to have that fact be admitted.
Following the power LJ apparently felt gave way to a weird dark egg. "Digimental? What's what." Beta didn't seem familiar with that word at all.
"It's a special item that lets digimon evolve, pretty sure they make you weaker then a Champion or weaker then an Ultimate." Alpha recalled one fellow who used one before, it was quite shocking.
"Wait stuff like that exists? Why don't we try and get something like that Alpha?" If it was just free power it made sense for the twins to seek it out right? Least it made sense to Beta.
"It'd be pointless for us, what we plan on fighting is beyond the power these can give us. We'd be better off just focusing on our regular forms then searching for these." Myotismon was a true Ultimate, hell he might even be able to go Mega as far as Alpha knew, searching for these would be a waste of time for the duo.

When Beta mentioned not being in synch when they fought, LJ said "Maybe if you guys practice in time you'll be in synch when fighting." When Alpha spoke of Cici, LJ then said "Glad to hear she'll be alright. I guess she's good at not being noticed, right? Who knows maybe I'll meet her one day."
Alpha and Beta began talking about the digimental and LJ said "While digimentals aren't for everyone they tend to have at least some uses. If I can lift this one it would be my second digimental making it an ultimate form and since I haven't yet reached ultimate, it could come in handy. That and my armor champion has powers I otherwise would have no access to."
LJ walked up to the digimental and took hold of it firmly with both hands before he began to pull. The digimental was lifted with no effort but what happened next was surprising. The cave walls began to glow red and the room began to shake as if the very cave was changing. Cradling the digimental close to him LJ was only able to utter one thing. "Uh oh."
