Apparently shooing the doll away wasn't successful seeing as the doll didn't appear to understand but that didn't matter at this point as the group fled for the security room. The voice of Tricky was heard as they made their way. 'Man that thing is persistent. Just what is up with this place anyway?' LJ thought. Right after Data slammed the door to the security room shut the sound of Tricky slamming headlong into the door was heard. "What is up with that thing? What kind of animatronic from the Human World can withstand a hit from a champion level digimon and keep coming? I have a feeling we're gonna be in for a rough night."
It seemed the doll from earlier had hitched a ride with Rush and was gesturing towards the ceiling causing LJ to look up towards a small hole. His ears twitched as he heard faint noises before a doll with a black mask wielding a rusty kitchen knife began falling down intending to land upon him. Instead of drawing his sword he channeled into his magic as he said "Spiritual Conjuring." The light purple magical energy became a combat knife which he swung at the knife in the doll's grip knocking it away before he said "You should know better than to play with rusty knives."

Chippy the doll was happy that LJ heeded his warning about his fellow doll's attempt at a sneak attack, before hopping off of Rush and confiscating the knife from its aggressive sibling. The black-masked doll chittered angrily at Chippy for taking its knife, but was cut off when Rush grabbed the black-masked doll and promptly ate it whole. The shocking sight caused Hana, Chippy, and the two remaining dolls in the ceiling to freeze up and stare at Rush in shock at the doll's sudden demise.
It wasn't until Rush coughed up the plastic mask of the doll he ate that the silence was broken by Hana. "What the actual hell?"
"What are you talking about?" Data asked, as he turned away from the door and saw Hana and the knife-holding Chippy staring at Rush in horror. Chippy quickly tossed aside the knife and ran over to hide behind Hana's leg. "Okay, what did I miss?"
"A knife-wielding doll attacked LJ, only for this doll to take its knife before Rush ate the other doll." Hana quietly explained, looking faintly nauseous. Tricky Dolls remaining: 3 Tricky damage level: missing shell on leg, mask damage from hitting door.

LJ watched as the doll that tagged along, Chippy, had then taken the knife LJ had deflected from its black mask sporting sibling. The doll's angry chittering was cut short by Rush as the Keramon ate the doll whole. LJ stared just as shocked as everyone else. "Rush, I don't think that doll was food." LJ finally managed to say after Hana had voiced her shock his dumbfounded look not disappearing. He had to admit he wasn't expecting Rush to do that and if there were more aggressive doll's would he eat them too?
As Data became aware of what was going on and Hana explained what had happened. LJ, meanwhile, had watched Chippy drop the confiscated knife and ran hiding behind Hana. Though wary of Chippy, LJ decided not to be too quick to accuse the doll of potential deception without any evidence. The combat knife he conjured with his magic was still in hand but he knew it would eventually fade magically as was the nature of his conjured weapons.
"I think we should worry more about the potential of there being more dolls and if we're going to use this spot as a safe zone I think we should make sure no more of them can get in here. Then there is our animatronic friend from before to worry about too." LJ said as he looked up spotting the hole the doll had likely came from. "There!" LJ exclaimed pointing at the hole in the ceiling with his free hand before he continued "The dolls likely got in from there. Do we have anyway to block it off to keep them out?"

After watching their sibling get eaten and being pointed out by LJ, the two remaining dolls in the ceiling briefly look at each other before promptly shrieking in panic and running for their lives. Going after these intruders was NOT worth getting eaten!
"Yeah, I don't think those dolls are coming back for a while." Data said as he heard the other dolls running and screaming. "Not sure how we can close up that hole, though."
"What about the door? Will that be able to keep the big guy out?" Hana asked as she turned her gaze to the one door leading into the room.
"It's electrically locked, so it should keep him out as long as there's power." Data replied. As if on cue, the power chose that moment to cut out, with the door quietly clicking as it unlocked. "Well, crap. I just had to open my mouth."
With the power off, Hana turned on her flashlight as Data headed to the door. "I'm gonna go try and turn the power back on. LJ, please stay here with Hana and Rush. If nothing else, you should be strong enough to hold the door shut if needed, but call me on our comms if the big guy shows up."

It seemed that the remaining dolls weren't eager to drop in on them after seeing one of their siblings be eaten and screamed before running. One of LJ's ears flicked indicating his annoyance of the sound when the shrieking started but said nothing about it. Looking around the room, LJ then said "Shame we don't have anything on us that is knife proof. We should be wary just in case they change their minds." He glanced at Chippy still not trusting the little doll but wasn't going to make an accusation against it without proof. Still didn't stop him from being cautious of the doll though.
Then Hana asked if the door would keep the big guy out and LJ looked at the door. While sturdy LJ wasn't sure if the animatronic wandering around would be stronger than the door or not. When Data mentioned things being fine as long as they had power it appeared that things wouldn't be so easy as the power went off and LJ heard the door unlock. Just great. Now they had to depend on the strength of the door alone. "Data, are you sure going out alone is a good idea with the big guy lurking around out there? Perhaps it would be safer if we stuck together so we can work together to deal with the threat out there." LJ said grateful that like a Human World cat he could still see in the dark. One of the benefits most feline digimon likely had. As for holding the door shut he could likely do so for awhile but since he didn't inherit Lothar's super strength he wouldn't be able to hold it nearly as long. Hopefully Data would be able to restore the power soon.

"Tricky ignored me even after I punched him in the face, so I don't think he's gonna go after me. I don't know if it's because I'm mechanical enough to pass for another animatronic or not, but I'm probably the best one to go and turn the power on." Data said as he paused at the door.
The Guardromon sighed and clenched his fist before he continued speaking. "I just worry that heading out together would leave us more vulnerable to Tricky sneaking up on us and getting to Hana. At least here, we know there's only one way for him to try and get in. Heh, almost makes me wish I was a Mekanorimon rather than a Guardromon. Losing my own free will would be a worthy price to pay if it meant being able to keep Hana safe as a suit of power armor."
Hana would go over and place a hand on her partner's back. "It's okay, Data. We're gonna get through this together."

"Come to think of it. You have a point, Data. It is weird he ignored you for the most part. Perhaps he just thinks most machine type digimon are animatronics." LJ said as the combat knife he conjured vanished into thin air. As for keeping Hana safe maybe Data did have a point. At times LJ would forget how vulnerable humans were compared to digimon.
"Don't worry about Hana, Data, I think Rush and I can hold off Tricky and his little buddies until the power is restored. Tricky can't be indestructible so logically enough damage will deal with him if we need to fight him off." LJ reasoned as since the small doll was dealt with by Rush's odd if not a bit disturbing eating habits. "Shame Tricky won't likely be as easy to dispose of by eating him. Not that I would want to." LJ said with a shake of his head. If Rush ended up with indigestion later LJ wouldn't be surprised.

"Well, we should have at least a little time before the little dolls regain their nerve. And they'll probably be more cautious this time to avoid getting eaten like the other one." Data said, before suddenly perking up. "I just had an idea. Perhaps if I make enough noise, I can lure Tricky away from you guys long enough for the three of you to turn the power back on. If Tricky's night vision is anything like ours, he should have a hard time telling just what is making the noise."
"That could work." Hana agreed as she picked up the little, friendly doll hiding behind her leg. "Although, I don't know why we don't just blow the animatronic up with a Guardian Barrage or something."
"Do you want us to be labeled as terrorists due to the explosions?" Data countered as he just stared at his partner.
"Good point." Hana conceded, wilting under the Guardromon's stern gaze.

When Data suggested that he lure try to lure Tricky away by making enough noise. "Good idea, Data. Luckily as a result of digivolving into a feline form, I have pretty good nightvision so if Tricky and those dolls are the same I have a chance of spotting them first."
"As for fighting Tricky I agree that explosions are not the best idea. Last thing we want is the human population investingating an explosion. Perhaps we should resort to our less destructive tactics if it comes to combat so we can at least leave the building intact." LJ said catching Data's gaze and then stated "Man, Data, with that gaze you are starting to remind me of my dads." Then a random thought came to mind and he asked "Were you and Rush a parent in a previous life or something cause you have that look down to a science or did you master it dealing with other people?"

Although he knew LJ had no idea about the sore spot that he'd accidentally pressed, Data still tensed up a bit and clenched his hands for a moment before releasing them and flatly answering the Leomon X. "Rush and I didn't split until our egg reached Hana, and Rush was born a blank slate, mentally speaking. Before then... is better left unsaid for now. I won't hold it against you for accidentally pressing a sore spot you had no way of knowing about, but this is a conversation we should save for a later day. I will explain it if you really want to know, just not here."
"Speaking of night vision, I just had a better idea than Data acting as a lure!" Hana said as she whipped out her digivice and digivolved Rush into his Ultimate form, Eosmon.
The tiny, Ultimate-level Digimon stretched and popped his neck before turning to the rest of the group. "ALRIGHT, WHATCHA NEED ME TO DO?"
"I need you to go out there and make a bunch of noise to lure a crazy animatronic away from us as we go turn the power on. How well can you see in the dark?" Hana explained.
"SO, JUST GO OUT THERE AND BE MYSELF? I CAN DO THAT. LUCKILY, MY VISOR DOES HAVE A NIGHT VISION SETTING, SO A LITTLE BLACKOUT WON'T HURT ME." Rush said as he rubbed his hands in excitement before darting out the door and zooming down the hall while cackling madly.
"What have I just unleashed?" Hana said quietly.

At Data's response to LJ's previous question, LJ looked at the ground briefly as if trying to figure out what to say before looking Data in the eye and said "Data, I'm sorry if I upset you. I don't know much about you and Data. If it makes you uncomfortable I agree this isn't the time or place to discuss this matter." He began rubbing his arm feeling awkward and worried he may have made a mess of things despite trying harder to watch what he said he was still hitting snags along the way.
Then Hana had Rush digivolve into ultimate essentially unleashing potiential chaos as it seemed Rush, as Eosmon, had nightvision ablilities as well. Rush's zipped out the door and out of sight while cackling madly. When Hana asked what she unleashed, LJ said "I don't know but one thing I do know is I don't envy being Tricky right now."
