"WOOOO HOOOO!" A Lekismon named Luna shouted at the top of her digital lungs as she jumped a pretty massive sand dune hopping up into the sky before landing on the sand below driving fast in her Motorcycle. While she seemed pretty excited about what they were doing her companion in the Sidecar next to her the Impmon Dust simply held on to the side of where he was sitting so he didn't bounce off the thing and into the sand below.
"Ain't gonna calm down on this one huh Luna?" He asked with a small smile, it had been a bit since he saw her this excited, he was really glad considering the doom and gloom she had to deal with for a while. As they straightened out on the path Luna smiled and nodded keeping her eyes on what was in front of her.
"Course I'm not, it's been a while since its just been me and you on an adventure Dust! That was always so much fun. Wandering around, getting into trouble." Luna's smile seemed to just grow a bit as she mentioned. "Falling in love." Which seemed to embarrass the Impmon a bit but he didn't lose his smile.
"Yeah, Yeah I know. Anyway what are we here for now? Just wandering or do you have something in mind?" He figured he'd ask considering she seemed to be following an actual map right now, well he was giving her directions and she was following considering her little habit with directions.
"Heard a rumor in Terminus of some part of the old Ruins opening up, apparently a door around it has the symbol of friendship on it." Luna grinned again.
Without skipping a beat Dust mentioned right after. "And considering it's you Friendship is right up your alley." Luna simply nodded, glad he knew her well. Slowly the Lekismon slowed down as she got to their destination, parking her bike near some old broken wall.
"Alright, shouldn't be too far now. Wonder if anyone else heard about the door?" Maybe they weren't the first ones here? It was being talked about a bit after all, either way even if they weren't they were gonna get to it first!

"Solaire, why are we doing this again?"
"I was bored."
"You dragged us out into the sand because you were bored?"
"Yep."
The two Dracomon trundle along the sand dunes with little cute plopping sounds of their footsteps. At least it wasn't too terribly hot today on the trip.
And then there's the sound of someone cheering, and a motorcycle crashes down in front of them before driving off, causing the boys to scream in surprise and dive headfirst into the sand next to them. Solaire pops his head up out from the sand and splutters. "Hey! Watch where you're landing!" He calls out, raising his fist a bit before laughing... not really able to stay mad because damn, that looks fun.
Terrance, meanwhile, remains buried in the sand until Solaire grabs him by the scarf and pulls him out. "Nope, nope, I'm done with this! Lemme go, Solaire!"
"Oh come on, we're not hurt, and that looked like fun!"
"I wanna go back to Terminus!"
"Where's your sense of adventure?!"
"Back at the Village of Beginnings, where I left it!"

Zipping along the desert on her motorcycle, Stacy made her way out to the ruins. Though the last time she came out this way was not what she would consider an enjoyable experience for her seeing as she lost someone whom she considered friend around these parts. Add that and the unknown fate of a team mate was still understandably fresh in her mind so all in all the last few months had been hellish for her but she was not one to just give up trying to help others no matter what pain she faced.
Before she headed out to the desert curious rumors of some ruins bearing the mark of friendship on the door had peaked her attention so maybe a distraction from her misery would be helpful. Despite wearing a leather jacket over her AEGIS uniform she was hardly uncomfortable in the desert heat. After losing a team member her wardrobe had undergone some changes. On the sleeves of her leather jacket were leather straps like the one normally worn by a Flamedramon. On the leather straps was a purple V she was wearing to honor her missing teammate.
As she continued on she spotted another motorcycle as it almost crashed into a pair of adorable little dragon digimon. Coming to a stop near the Dracomon pair she reached up and pulled off her helmet revealing the tips of her brown hair was dyed purple instead of the typical blue which was another change in fashion for her. Looking at the dragons she asked "Hey are you two alright?"

As Luna and Dust got off the bike Dust couldn't help but see what was behind them, it was a bit far off but wasn't that the dune that they jumped over? "Eh hey Luna, Were those people over there when you jumped that?" He asked pointing over to the smallish group that was behind them. Luna turned around and instantly her smile was replaced with fear that the two of them just ran someone over!
Instantly she booked it over to them followed quickly by Dust. "Oh no, I'm so sorry! Did I hit you. Do you need healing? I can do that if you need it!" The last thing she wanted to do with that was hit someone, she was just trying to have fun!
Dust right behind her quickly grabbed her leg and with a very shocking amount of strength despite the size difference he pulled her back. "Luna, they look fine. Probably just scared them that's all." Dust quickly tired to calm the Lekismon down, which seem to work as she got closer she saw they didn't seem hurt at all.
"Oh good. Sorry just, I'm a doctor so I'm err, supposed to do the opposite of hurting digimon." Luna joked with a small laugh before continuing. "Sorry about that, my names Luna and this is my partner Dust." Hopefully almost hitting someone with a Motorcycle wouldn't be too bad... Hopefully.

Solaire laughs at the sudden concern from someone else on a motorcycle. "Hey Terrance, maybe we should get one of those."
"Why? You'll fly eventually!"
"Point." He then gives a thumbs up to the AEGIS member. "Yep, we're a-okay! That was kinda awesome, actually." The blue-scarf clad Dracomon grins wider, apparently just enjoying the ride while his brother (still held by his own green-scarf) crosses his arms and huffs.
Suddenly, the other motorcycle stops and the owner and her partner come up to the gathering group. "Hi, Miss Luna. I'm Solaire. This scaredy-cat is Terrance. And nah, we're fine. You landed in front of us, so no harm, no foul!" He grins and finally sets Terrance down on his feet.
"I wanna go home."
"Oh please, we're on an adventure! And now we have people to protect!"
"...You do realize that Miss Luna has someone right there who can protect her, and Miss Human here probably has a partner? You don't see too many humans around without one."
".......So? The more knights, the better!"
"You're insufferable."
"And you need to lighten up!"
The brotherly banter is quite cute, Solaire keeping a happy grin on his face, while Terrance keeps a look of concern and worry.

A Lekismon and an Impmon, who were on the other motorcycle, got off their mount and the Lekismon asked if everyone else needed healing. Stacy shook her head and said "No. I'm good. I wasn't near the dune when you jumped it."
It seemed the Dracomon siblings were all perfectly fine as well the Dracomon wearing the blue scarf saying they were okay with a grin. Then the Lekismon introduced herself as Luna and the Impmon at her side was named Dust. The Dracomon wearing the blue scarf introduced himself as Solaire and his seemingly timid sibling was introduced as Terrance. "Nice to meet all of you. My name is Stacy."
As the banter between Solaire and Terrance went back and forth she smiled as they reminded her a bit of her own brothers only they seemed younger. "Oh I'm not a tamer. I'm a spirit wielder so you guys don't have to worry about protecting me but I'll be able to watch you guys' backs if we run into trouble. I came out here because I heard rumors of some ruins bearing the mark of friendship on some door. I don't remember seeing such a thing last time I was out here but that could only mean the said ruins are somewhere other than where I was."

Luna let out a sigh of relief, the last thing she wanted to do was hurt anyone, she just wanted to make a really cool jump off of something! "Good, I guess I should watch where I jump a bit more carefully next time." That probably sorta wasn't going to happen but hey just saying it was probably good enough. "Spirit tamer? Oh like that one human, what was his name Dust?" She turned to look at Dust who just had a bit of an annoyed look on his face recalling that Spirit tamer.
"I'd rather not remember him if I'm honest." Oh right, Luna forgot they had bad history together! "Not that I'm against spirit tamers or anything, we're looking for the same thing." It was a door with the symbol of friendship, Dust assumed considering doors like that don't just magically appear wherever.
The two little dragon duo were certainly cute, Luna let out a small laugh as they argued before thinking for a moment. "The more the merrier right? I'd be honored to have you two as my knights for this." Even though she was pretty sure her and Dust were stronger she didn't figure this adventure would be a tough one, though she quickly bent down to Dust and patted him on the back. "Though don't worry Dust, you'll always be my number one knight."
This embarrassed the Impmon a bit as he looked away. "I wasn't worried, but thanks Luna." He was definitely no knight, Dark Knight maybe but even then that was a stretch.
"So, how about we explore together, the more the merrier right?" She offered for Stacy to come along as well, after all if it was a door to friendship might as well make some friends along the way!

Solaire grins. "Well, then consider me your honorary partner! Even if you probably are stronger than me regardless, Miss Stacy!"
"Well, at least you admit to it."
"Oh shush, I gotta try and live up to the proper standards of at least TRYING to help." He laughs and gives a dramatic bow. "Why thank you, Miss Luna. I gladly bear the responsibility!" Terrance, meanwhile, rolls his eyes and facepalms.
"Alright, fine. But at the first sign of us being over our heads, we're out, Solaire."
"Define over our heads?"
"Anything stronger than Champion."
"Deal."
The two brothers shake hands before Solaire looks up at the Lekismon. "By the way, the jump was pretty cool." He says with a grin before striding forward confidently in the lead... before he suddenly stops. "...I have no idea where we're going. So uh... someone else should probably actually lead..." He says, sweatdropping with a nervous chuckle. Terrance can't help but laugh. For all of his faults, Solaire at least knew where he falls short, and that's why Terrance sticks close to him. To make sure to remind Solaire of his limits before he flies too high.

When Luna suggested to Stacy that she explore with them the spirit wielder said "I'm game if you four are. There is safety in numbers after all."
Solaire and Terrance seemed eager for an adventure or more like Solaire was eager while Terrance seemed cautious. Knowing how dangerous the Digital World could be at times she didn't blame Terrance for being weary. "Don't worry, Terrance. I can reach the ultimate level if needed and most digimon aren't stronger than ultimates since the highest level digimon are rare compared to the lower level ones. We should still be cautious just the same." Looking out over the sands, Stacy said "So should we walk or I can digivolve to carry you guys on my back so no one gets separated." As her holy beast spirit of LupineCerberusmon she was ten feet tall and almost ten feet long from nose to tail so she could likely carry everyone if necessary.

Luna clapped her hands together with a smile on her face. "Great! Traveling in groups is always a lot more fun!" While she wouldn't of minded some alone time with Dust they had plenty of time together back at home, making new friends is always a good idea. "And don't worry, if anything does end up happening I'm sure Dust here can take care of it, he's pretty strong when he gets serious." She didn't really specify exactly how strong like Stacy had but she sounded pretty confidant in the Impmon's abilities. "Plus like I said I'm a doctor, any of you get hurt I can patch you up no problem." Luna happy she had these abilities.
"The offer for a ride is nice but I'd prefer to walk, besides it should be too far. It's a bit past our bike over there." Dust pointed over to the motorcycle that was leaning against a wall, so further then that should be good. "I'll lead." Dust decided that not letting Luna lead was the best idea he could have, if she led they'd probably somehow end up back at Terminus or the Dark area knowing her.
"Alright then, lets go team....." Luna had her arms in the air ready to come up with a team name, but her mind drew a blank on what to say. "Team, I'll think of a team name later!" There we go, that should work for now.... Probably. With that Dust started on ahead followed quickly by Luna.

"Team Ruin Dive!" Solaire suggests with enthusiasm and a fist pump with a leap in the air. He flaps his wings trying to stay airborne... before faceplanting into the sand. He quickly picks himself up and runs after the Lekismon.
Terrance looks up at Stacy and shakes his head. "...What's Ultimate like? Especially as a human?" He asks before falling in line behind Solaire and Dust, noticeably moving slower than his brother. Is it reluctance, or something else? Who knows! Well, he knows, but that's not the point.
Anyway, Solaire slides up next to Dust and leans over, as if to whisper conspiratorially. "How are you carrying Champion strength while still being an Impmon?" He asks, wings flapping gently and eyes bright. "I can just feel the power, and I'm honestly kinda confused! I've never seen a Digimon do that before." He counts on his claws for a moment. "...Unless that one Astamon counts? But he was still Ultimate... And I mean, I guess Magnamon, but he's a Royal Knight. I don't think he counts."

So the ruins weren't far on foot so that made things easier. Stacy then stopped the bike engine and climbed off the bike almost stumbling. Her legs felt stiff but that was likely because she had been on the bike all day so some walking would be good for her. Setting her helmet in her sidecar she brought her D-Tector from the Digivice Cradle on her right arm. Holding it in her left hand she called her motorcycle back within her Digivice. "Walking sounds good to me. I forgot how numb my legs were from being on that thing all day. I should of taken more breaks from riding that thing. Ah well lesson learned I guess."
Dust volunteered to lead and Luna just seemed happy to be around others and Solaire and Terrance were both caught up in the potential excitement of an adventure for the most part as Terrance didn't seem as confident as his twin. Then Terrance asked what ultimate is like. "Well I suppose being ultimate feels different depending on the human but for me digivolution in general is like an intense rush of power and for a laid back and hardly athletic human like myself it has had the side effect of making me somewhat hyper. I haven't had so much extra energy since I was a kid."
Solaire then asked about how Dusk could be a champion and Stacy had to admit she was curious at some level. Due to the digimon spirit she was bonded to she could feel the power coming off the Impmon. Then again she passed other digimon similar to Dust as in they were either stronger or weaker than other average members of their respective species.

"Yeah! That's a great name! Team Ruin Dive go!" Luna responded once again throwing her arms into the air, it was a pretty simple name but described what they were doing well enough! Though with Stacy being a bit sore from her bike Luna understood completely. "Yeah I can't ride mine for too long, sometimes you just gotta move and jump around. I guess the human term for it is 'get your blood going.'" Luna did recall that humans had stuff called blood in them, which was gross! But also cool.
With that Luna threw her hands behind her head as she walked, humming a small tune as she walked, she heard Terrance ask about being Ultimate and while she had experience in that department herself she decided to relent and let Stacy talk about her experience, it was interesting to learn how evolution affected others differently! Especially for a human.
Dust noticed Solaire match his pace, he didn't say anything but he didn't need to as Solaire had already asked him a question, apparently he could feel the power from Dust, a power much stronger then the rookie appearance he had. "Right yeah, guess I'm so used to it I forget it's not exactly normal." Dust stopped talking for a moment to think on how exactly to phrase it before nodding a bit, coming to an answer. "Like Luna said I'm strong, not in a bragging sense but I've always just been strong. If anything this form is more or less me holding myself back, though I guess even in a suppressed state I'm still stronger then average." Dust let out a small chuckle as he continued. "Lets just say if I go all out, I become a bit harder to approach. This form just makes things easier." Especially when you had a companion that wanted to be friends with everyone, striding around in a Mega form, especially the form he had, tended to make others a bit apprehensive about talking to him.

Terrance nods gently and considers Stacy's answer to his question. Rush of energy and power, huh? The less secure brother nods gently and supposed that made sense. "I'd like to be Champion at least... Maybe then I could be less afraid of everything..." He then blushes hard and his wings start flapping furiously. Why did he just admit that out loud?! And to a human he just met! And there's a Lekismon over there! Oh, oh deae. He hides his face in his hands.
Solaire didn't seem to notice Terrance's "blunder" as he listens quite intently to Dust's response to him. It made sense to the blue boi, and he grins. "That's fair. Can't be going at full throttle all the time! You'd burn out your engine and just come crashing down to earth!" He nods sagely, as though this were some deep philosophical answer to life's impending questions. Solaire then looks up at Luna and grins, as if he were trying to impress the older Digimon.

Stacy noticed that Terrance seemed embarrassed by his confession about wanting to be at the champion level so he could be less afraid. "Being afraid is nothing to be ashamed of Terrance. Everyone is afraid of something it's purely an instinct that has allowed both humans and digimon to survive over the generations. Without the concept of fear neither human or digimon would be as successful as we are in our native worlds."
Meanwhile Solaire continued to talk to Dust regarding his champion form and at some level Stacy understood. As one who liked to take things at a slow pace having the spirit of a fast moving digimon as part of her was quite the change to get used to. She even had her share of burn outs as she adjusted to new forms but still preferred her natural human state to save on energy so she had it incase things decended to chaos and knowing how her luck worked it would be a matter of time until trouble found her once again but that was the way of a meddling do gooder type like herself.
