Luna did hear the part about wanting to be champion so he wouldn't be afraid, while Stacy's answer was pretty good Luna decided to chime in her own answer to that as well. "You'll get to champion I'm sure, besides if you're afraid you've got Solaire here right? I know there are times I've been scared stiff but having Dust at my side made me a lot braver. We all have someone to help! I have Dust, you have Solaire Stacy has..." Luna paused for a moment, she didn't fully understand Spirit tamers but with her limited understanding she decided to continue. "Stacy has Ghosts!" Well it was technically not wrong.
With burning through full throttle came up Dust nodded in agreement, though this caused Luna to chime in. "Yeah, I hafta remind him to take breaks sometimes." Luna returned the smaller digimon's smile with one of her own.
Dust let a small chuckle escape. "Really Luna? Usually it's me telling you to take breaks." She wanted to go help everyone she could, then would also forget to help herself!
"Hehehe, I guess we look after each other really." Though with that Luna noticed something further ahead, squinting her eyes she saw something sticking out of the sand, almost like a door. "Hey, I think it's over there. Lets go!" Luna would then excitedly run over towards the door, Dust wouldn't run but his pace would increase a bit to head over there.

Terrance slowly lowers his hands on hearing all of the encouragement, but his face is still red. "...I-I guess..." He takes a small breath before mumbling something else that gets overshadowed by Luna's excited declaration of having found something.
Solaire grins wider. "Yeah... Terrance usually does manage to pull me back down to earth before I fly too high. Not quite literally though." He adds before looking at his brother and giving a thumbs up. But then, Luna does in fact run towards something in the sand, and Solaire ups his speed to match her. Shockingly, for a Rookie, he is able to keep up with Luna quite well! Almost like he's able to glide across the sand without his wings.
Terrance lets out a soft groan and starts running to catch up to Solaire. Just in case something does happen, Terrance needs to be next to his brother. He's gotta be a shield, after all... Solaire is something of a glass cannon.

Stacy couldn't help but smile as Luna chimed in to help Terrance feel better and actually chuckled at her words 'Stacy has ghosts.' "Actually it seems to be a single ghost I have been collecting the fragments for in the form of totems but close enough." Then she said "I have more than that to rely on though. I also have my friends and my two brothers in America to help me when I need it."
Then Luna mentioned she found something and took off running followed by everyone else. Hoo boy it had to be running of all things didn't it? Though slow as a snail and having atrocious stamina, Stacy decided to suck it up and run after the group. After awhile she realized this wasn't going to work and brought out her D-Tector as fractal coding appeared around her right hand. Running her right hand over the top of the D-Tector she gasped out "Execute! Human Spirit Evolution!" The fractal coding became one with her as she glowed with holy light before a wolf howl sounded throughout the desert. As the light faded she called out "Blitzwolfmon!"
Now as Blitzwolfmon the tiredness from her dead sprint was gone as she easily caught up to Luna and said "Perhaps next time you could warn us before bolting off. As a human I am far from the athletic type."

Well apparently it was a single ghost that was split into a buncha different things! Well that certainly was more complicated then she first assumed. "Well Multiple Ghost's, Single Ghost. Ghost's all the same!" She was close enough to the right answer at least. "And yeah, you can rely on friends as well. I got plenty of those to rely on myself!" Hence the whole going after the door of friendship thing, that was definitely on par for this course!
As Luna was rushing off she heard Stacy say something spirit, she couldn't make it out she was too busy moving. The next thing she knew some digimon which she assumed was Stacy was now behind them, mentioning something about warning them before she bolted off. "I didn't? Thought I yelled Lets go." But the second part about her not being the athletic type did make Luna rub the back of her head, feeling a bit awkward. "Heh, sorry. I tend to get excited easy."
Dust was the last to arrive, being the only one not to really sprint after the rest of the group. "So what did you see Luna?" Dust questioned as he walked up, looking at the thing sticking out of the ground it seemed pretty obvious.
It was a rather large stone structure, there wasn't much sand around it but there was a large door in front of it, on top of the door sure enough there was the symbol of friendship that appeared for some tamers as crests or Digimentals. Walking up slowly Luna pressed her hand on the door for a moment before tilting her head to the side. "Huh, wonder how we get it open?" She sorta just assumed given her nature the door would open for her!
"Maybe there has to be an act of friendship in front of the door?" That was the only thing that came to mind, Luna crossed her arms thinking a bit on what they could do, giving plenty of time for anyone else to come up with an idea.

Solaire's face scrunches up as he thinks back to the stories he heard back in the Village of Beginnings. "...Well, usually whoever is destined to possess it has to show some sign of overcoming a personal flaw and recognizing within themselves what the trait embodies. And um... Well, friendship isn't the end all be all. Just BEING friendly isn't enough."
Terrance stares at Solaire for a moment. "...You really did pay attention to the stories we were told, huh?"
"...Why wouldn't I? A knight's gotta be well-educated!"
"...Fair. Alright then, egghead, what does Friendship actually mean in this context?"
"Um... well..." Solaire sweatdrops. "...Elecmon didn't really go much into that, now did he? But I would think that... well... something like, having the capacity to open up, and trust others to do the job, with your support. Something like that." He looks up at the rest of the group and shrugs. "...I doubt this door is for Terrance and I, so this is kinda up between you three I think."
He then pauses before waving to the Blitzwolfmon. "...Neat form. Real Digimon-y." He then adds, causing Terrance to facepalm. "You were this close to actually just... being smart for a change. Then you do that."
Solaire just gets a silly grin on his face.

Blitzwolfmon shook her head and said "Don't worry, Luna, I'm not mad but I wasn't expecting you to dash off like that. I should of expected you to be fast what with you being a rabbit of some kind." At least everyone made it to the door safely and were now trying to figure out how to open it.
Looking at the door herself as she listened to Solaire and Terrance she reached over at the door and rested her clawed hand on it. Thinking she then said "Friendship can have many meanings. Hmm, maybe if..." Then when Solaire said it was up to you three it was as if a lightbulb appeared over her head. It was possibly a long shot but what the hell? Why not? "Perhaps we should all try to touch the door."
At Solaire statement regarding her form she couldn't help but chuckle which got worse when Terrance spoke up. When she recovered she said "Thanks. This is one of my human spirits, a champion level form called Blitzwolfmon."

What that trait embodies? That was one part that struck out to Luna, despite always wanting to be near so many digimon, humans. Being friends with as many as she could she supposed she never took a moment to stop and consider just what it all meant to her. Taking what both the twins and Stacy had said for a moment Luna slowly walked over to the door placing her hand on it, eyes closed for a few moments as she took a small breath in, then proceeded talk about what was going on in her head.
"I, I was always alone starting out. Working as a Mercenary, having to fight. Going through trouble after trouble. I just always wanted to be happy and carefree but I had to fight a lot, I hate fighting I always have I always will no matter what happens. So I always wanted to make friends with everyone I could, heh maybe just so I could support them and no have to fight." Luna didn't have her eyes open but the others would be able to see the door slightly responding to her touch.
"Recently someone I thought of as a friend she, tried to hurt me, tried to hurt a friend of mine as well. Then both of them took my feelings on what was happening and smashed them, now they won't even talk to me anymore. But, But I don't care that they did that, they're still my friends. I'll never be a fighter but I'll do whatever it takes to protect my friends! No matter what even if they hate me for it I'll keep reaching out towards them! No matter what I'll be there!" Luna decided right here and now to cast the doubt she had about that day away, the door seemed to align with what she was thinking as the door lit up as Luna opened her eyes.
"That's what it means to me, even if I get hurt. Even if no one wants me around anymore I'll keep reaching out. If this door doesn't agree that then I don't need its power!" With that final shout the door suddenly shined a bright light, then within the next moment the door was gone leading a staircase that went downwards. "....Did, Did I just say all that out loud?" Luna asked her face definitely looking a bit panicked.
"Err, yeah you did Luna. But don't worry. If that's how you feel I'll support you, no matter your choice." Dust gave a smile, though Luna seemed very embarrassed at the moment that she just said all that out loud, she didn't even mean to it just sorta came out once she touched the door!

Solaire stands smugly in place, nodding his head. "...Told you!" He then busts out laughing and walks up to Luna. "Guess you and Terrance have something to talk about, huh? Just spouting embarrassing stuff out loud?"
Terrance's face flushes again and he splutters. "H-Hey, you didn't hear that!"
"So? Everyone else did." He then grins and motions on ahead. "Miss Luna, since it seems this door is destined for you..." He then bows dramatically, and he will fall in step behind her as they go down.
Terrance sighs and looks up at Blitzwolfmon. "...Well, when he's right, he's right, I guess." The shy-er twin says, before moving to follow the others. He pauses at the top of the stairs though and stares down into the darkness. "...What if there's like... ghosts? or I dunno, a Pharoahmon or something down there...?" But seeing as Solaire (and assumedly Luna) would be going down the stairs with or without him, he lets out a "Hey, wait up!" before he jumps down the stairs to catch up.

Looked like Solaire's idea was right on the money as Luna not only got the door open but it vanished all together after glowing with a bright light and when she shouted a lot of words describing what friendship was to her. Judging by what she was talking about it was as if she was an embodiement of friendship itself. Blitzwolfmon shook her head in an effort to clear the spots from her eyes which fortunately didn't take long.
Then Solaire went back to his banter with Terrance and Blitzwolfmon patiently said "Now. Now. Solaire, you don't have to always give your brother such a hard time." They were definitely reminding her of her brothers but these boys seemed easier to manage on the surface since one of her brothers was a hothead with a short fuse while the other was mostly non confrontational except when trying to needle his brother to piss him off. Good thing her brothers weren't there since she didn't have the emotional energy to deal with their shit no matter how much she loved them.
Terrance seemed afraid which made sense seeing as they were entering an unknown location but Blitzwolfmon headed for the stairs before looking back and said "Don't worry, Terrance. As long as we're careful we should be able to handle what ever is in there. If there is trouble we have several strong digimon here to handle it so it should be okay."

Luna let out a slightly awkward laugh at the whole saying embarrassing things. "I usually speak my mind a lot, Guess I just didn't realize what I was doing. But I guess that's just another avenue of friendship, trusting those you know with your secrets." Solaire seemed to think the door was destined for Luna, while she didn't know if she fully agreed or not but even still pumping her fists in the air slightly Luna started to descend down the stairs followed quickly by Solaire and Dust.
With the question of strong digimon being down there Dust simply smiled before attempting to reassure Terrance. "If there's anything of the sort down there don't worry, I'm sure it's nothing I can't handle. Besides the door was sealed shut." Dust usually didn't try to act too cocky but this was more to make the rookie digimon feel more at ease then a show of strength.
As they started to go down the stairs it would get increasingly more and more dark, this was something Luna was pretty much used too being associated with the moon all the time, even the symbols on her body seemed to slightly glow within the darkness. Still though that wasn't enough to light the way so Dust quickened his pace going right next to Luna, snapping his fingers and creating a rather large fireball that lit up the way.
The way down was quite long and very quiet, though there was something in the air. Some presence that seemed to weigh down on Luna and Dust, presumably the others as well. But if either digimon felt the fear then no one would know, they seemed quite confidant as they descended downwards till eventually reaching the bottom, a wide open space but seemingly nothing here but four unlit torches. Dust quickly lit one of them quite a ways away, hopefully the others had ways to light the other torches, if not Dust would go light the rest himself.

Solaire smiles. "Of course I have to give 'im a hard time. He's my brother, and I'm trying to help break him out of his shell a bit. I've always got his back, so I gotta rib him just a bit." He says, as they descend down the stairs. As it gets darker, Terrance can be heard whimpering gently, but his stance remains that of strength. He might be scared, but he still moves forward. It's a good trait.
Upon hitting the cavern floor and seeing the unlit torches, Solaire and Terrance both looked at each other before nodding... then turning to two of the torches and saying in unison:
"Baby Breath!"
And they spat fire balls at the torches they aimed at. Conveniently lighting them up. The two of them then look around the area, Solaire looking high and Terrance looking low, like a pair of birds in synchronicity.

Blitzwolfmon wasn't bothered by the dark as she made her way down the stairs with the others. Even as a human she would of been able to make out the steps as she carefully made her way down. As she made her way she felt as if an uncomfortable presence. Sniffing the air as her tail frizzed she felt as if there was something wrong but she couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly but all she knew was that her digimon instincts were ablaze warning her of potential danger. Just what was it that lurked in these ruins that caused her worry?
Soon the group reached the bottom of the stairs safely and found four torches on the walls. Then Dust, Solaire, and Terrance lit three of the torches and since Luna didn't light the forth it was safe to assume that she may not of had any fire abilities. The last torch would be no problem for Blitzwolfmon though. "Pyro Ball!" she exclaimed as she launched a weakened version of her attack at the torch lighting it ablaze without putting anyone at risk. Smiling she then said "Piece of cake. Glad I have more than holy moves in my repertoire."

Well with all the torches lit up it would seem that the whole area was getting a lot brighter, actually it seemed like it was getting brighter then it should be with only three torches lighting up the area, before Luna could wonder exactly what was going on the entire room was engulfed in a rather bright light for a few moment blinding the group before it slowly dissipated leaving the room completely bright. The walls around the area made both of old stone with red Chrome Digizoid layering the walls, which would explain why one wouldn't be able to just simply dig into the place.
Given a more clear look of the area there was something in front of the group, a rather large looking stand up a small flight of stairs, on the stand there were two digimentals, one with the symbol of friendship on it and one with the Symbol of love on it, Given Luna was the one to open the door she quickly made her way over to the two artifacts. Before she could reach them though something jumped out from behind them grabbing them and leaping above Luna's head and above the five of them.
"Woah hey, someone managed to open the door! Nice going!" One of the figured shouted, in the light it was pretty clear they were a pair of Sistermon, The Noire version holding the Digimental of Love while the Blanc version had the Digimental of friendship.... Also they seemed to be floating. "But I'm afraid it's not gonna be THAT easy!" Noir shouted as she flew over to the right wall.
"We've been stuck here for ages, lets play a little game of tag first! You guys are it!" Ciel shouted as she flew over to the left wall, both seemingly going right through the wall as if it wasn't there, taking the Digimentals with them.
"Hey wait get back here!" Luna shouted as she jumped over easily clearing the stairs and landing back down. As she did two holes seemed to open, one to the left following the Sistermon Blanc and one to the right following the Noire.
"Well that was certainly a thing, guess we should go after them." There was only one question on how to split up an uneven group, The two decided to wait to see if the others had any input on what they should do.

Solaire and Terrance look up at the Sistermon before they snatch the Digimentals. "Hey, that's not fair! Those are ours! ...Well, Miss Luna's!" Solaire protests. He then grumbles a bit. "Justice will be served, you cat burglars!" He looks between the two directions and growls. "Um... um... um... We'll take Noir!" Solaire grabs Terrance by the claw and drags him along behind!
"H-H-Hey, they're Champions at least! What're we gonna do?!"
"Doesn't matter! We don't gotta fight them, just get the thingy back for Miss Luna!"
Terrance wrenches his claw free from Solaire and follows his brother, before the two of them in synch leap for the wall!
And they promptly ram face first into a very very real and physical wall, compressing like an accordion each against the metal. They slide down the wall onto the floor, laying on their bellies, before they pop back to their normal shape with little dust clouds. The two of them rub their faces.
"Ow ow ow ow, that's not fair...!"
"S-Shoulda known they'd be ghosts... ow..."

The torches were more effective at lighting the room then they should logically have been but this was the Digital World so logic as Blitzwolfmon knew it sometimes was turned on its head on a regular basis. Anyway the torches were successful in lighting the entire room revealing the stone and red chrome digizoid walls but what caught her attention most were the pair of digimentals with the symbols representing friendship and love respectively. However as Luna approached them it seemed claiming the digimentals would not be so easy as two digimon snatched them from above and made a break for it passing through the walls.
"Ghosts maybe. Doesn't matter come on guys we have to catch up to them." Blitzwolfmon said as she watched Luna effortlessly leap up the stairs. Solaire and Terrance didn't seem to spot the openings that appeared and smacked into the wall. Going to the twin Dracomon to check on them Blitzwolfmon said "I'll head down the left path with Solaire and Terrance while you two can take the right. I can run roughly sixty miles per hour which is the equivalent of a slow cheetah so I might have a good chance to catch up." Heading for the opened passage on the left she turned back to the Dracomon twins and said "Come on boys this way." With that said she bolted down the cooridor.
