Upon hearing the answer he was waiting for, Arthur nodded in understanding to the golden wolf explaining its nature and remarked as much
"Ah, I see. That is good to know, indeed."
After that, he fell silent and with Conan and Elektra by his side, he watched the scene unfold and soon after, the form of a person, specifically the dearly departed mother of Stacy and her brothers came into being and began conversing with the group, and when their mom remarked about how Arthur and his group were free to stay and witness the situation further and hear what was to be said, Arthur nodded once more and gave a brief polite bow to her while replying
"Indeed, and if it helps put your collective minds at ease, my comrades and I will swear ourselves to secrecy if whatever will be transpiring here is to be held under utmost confidence, ma'am."
With that said, Arthur fell silent and Conan along with Elektra promised to keep these events confidential if need be as well. Then, he along with Conan and Elektra began to wait for whatever would happen next in the present situation.

The sibling's mother nodded at Arthur before she said "Relax. What we have to say is hardly a secret as I have wanted to tell them everything for the longest time."
The golden wolf looked to the ghostly woman before it said "Perhaps you should start from the beginning. It would make things easier for your children to understand."
Turning to face her children she began. "Back when the three of you were teenagers I had received the very D-Tector that you have Stacy which means I was the original bearer of the digimon Hinookamimon. Some nights I had been wondering the Digital World trying to find all the totems. Over time I soon met the Cyberdramon you met the illusion of outside. After many battles with Cyberdramon I which I managed to be victorious every time, he had one day came at me before digivolving into Examon. At that time I had yet to reach mega though, like you Stacy, I had found the katana. Not knowing what to do with it and with Examon threatening me I had only one immediate option. Planning to trick him I lead him on a grand chase through the Dark Area and tricked him into being trapped in some vault with no fixed point that could only be opened from the outside."
Stacy blinked as she took in the information before she said "So the reason his illusion came at us to test us was because I unwittingly let him out of the vault when it was in the Western Flatlands."
"Unfortunately I was never able to gather all of the totems nor reach mega as certain unforeseen circumstances had happened." the woman said which her children quickly picked up on.
"Your cancer made it to where you couldn't travel to the Digital World anymore." Chris said causing the sibling's mother to nod.
"Yes but I made one more journey to these ruins where I left the katana and my D-Tector. The golden wolf said it would give it to one of my children before making two copies of it so my other children would get D-Tectors as well. When I was about to leave the golden wolf sent me back to the Human World." she said.
"So that is why we all have Zodiac Burst." Tim said.
His mother nodded before she said "It was one of my attacks and this golden wolf thought it would make sense for the children to carry the move as well."
"The interesting part was choosing the totems for the new D-Tectors but I think I found some that fit the boys well." the entity said with a smile.
"Speaking of totems, what of the totem for the mega form?" Stacy asked still clutching the sword.
Smiling at her daughter, she said "I didn't understand either at first but after meeting the golden one here I was told to tell you this.. you already have what you need."

Arthur along with Conan and Elektra nodded to Stacy mom as she reassured them that they could relax and so, he replied
"Ah, very good then."
After that, he fell silent and watched as well as listed while, upon the golden wolf's suggestion, the three siblings' mom began her story. Naturally, out of respect, throughout her narrative, Arthur as well as Conan and Elektra were silent and listening intently, but once her conversation with her children was over, Arthur spoke up
"So, it was a generational thing, then, eh? That is quite intriguing to hear, indeed. I had no idea that D-tectors and even totems and so on could be inherited or passed on like that from parent to child or children, in this case,...though, if I may ask...would this phenomenon be something that is unique to the spirit user class of DigiDestined or something that is more ubiquitous in nature perhaps?"
Arthur inquired of both the golden wolf and the three siblings' mom as well as he was now even more curious about the workings of the Digital World and more specifically about the spirit user class of DigiDestined since he was one himself. After that, he fell silent and waited for whatever response that the golden wolf and/or the three siblings' mom.

"While normally such a thing doesn't usually happen with even spirit wielders but since Yggdrasil still has a purpose for the ancient spirit of Hinookamimon it was passed onto the next bearer that was believed to be the most worthy. I was tasked with finding spirits for the other two that I think complimented their natural abilities well." the golden wolf said in response to Arthur's question.
Meanwhile after stewing on everything said Tim couldn't remain quiet any longer as he said "You already have what you need. What the hell does that even mean?"
The siblings mom didn't seem to take it personally as she smiled and said "This is something your sister will have to figure on her own. By then you and your brother will know what to do as well, Tim, so please try to have a little patience."
Tim grumbled but said nothing else as he then seemed to begin pouting. Then a thought came to Chris' mind and he asked "Wait. What about Cyberdramon? What if he is around here somewhere? What we saw of him was only an illusion and not the real thing."
Before anyone could say anything the building shook with great force causing parts of the ceiling to break off and fall to the floor. Tim looked at Chris and said "You had to jinx us didn't you, Chris." Chris said nothing as his younger brother seemed to have a point.
"You all must get out of here!" the golden wolf said before he continued "Cyberdramon will have no trouble leveling this old building."
Stacy nodded as she turned and began making her way out of the building hoping the group would all follow her movements slow and clumsy. As she was about to fall she felt her brothers grab ahold of her arms before the group continued out of the building. Just how would the group handle a dragon who could reach mega?

Arthur nodded as he listened to the wolf spirit's answer to his query from before and then he remarked in response with a thoughtful look on his face
"I see, so that's it. That definitely makes sense."
With that, he fell silent and watched the interaction between the siblings and their mom unfold further patiently. After all was said and done, however, there was a slight hiccup in the form of Christopher apparently jinxing the whole group by wondering aloud about the Cyberdramon they had all seen earlier and about if it would be coming after them which caused the whole building to start coming apart at the seams. Naturally, this forced Arthur to exit the building closely behind the siblings with Conan and Elektra in tow so as to not get crushed by the falling debris. Fortunately, they were just quick enough to get outside and to a safe distance away from the collapsing building that they were now safe, from being crushed at least.
That was far too close for comfort...what a drag...
Arthur mused silently while grimacing slightly as he watched the collapsing building further from the outside. However, it seemed that more trouble was on the way, so Arthur stopped his reverie abruptly and refocused his attention on the present situation wherein, along with Conan and Elektra, he stood ready and braced himself for whatever would happen next, making sure to have his D-tector at the ready so he could spirit evolve at a moment's notice to protect himself and aid his comrades in the present situation.

The group had somehow made it out of the building safe and sound with Chris and Tim releasing their older sibling. Stepping away from her brothers she turned her gaze up at Cyberdramon seeing the sneer on the dragon's face and finding it annoying. "I know everything about you and the battle with the last bearer of my spirit, Cyberdramon. My mother outsmarted you and had you trapped in that vault because your arrogance overrode any semblance of what most would call common sense. To bad for you that I and my brothers are just as clever as she was." Stacy said with a strange sense of confidence considering she had not figured out how to reach mega. The only thing she new was she had what she needed despite lacking the totem for the mega form. What could this possibly mean? At some level she wished her spirit was more helpful as it had only spoken directly to her once. Thinking over possibilities all Stacy knew was that the katana was somehow important. Judging by the familiarity the instincts channeled into her was making her think that the weapon likely belonged to the mega form of her holy line. So now she was left to figure out the rest on the fly and this made her uncomfortable given the situation.
Cyberdramon stared at the woman who spoke to him as if she were a mere flea to his greatness and that was now irritating the more passive Chris though he said nothing but his body language was plain as the nose on all the humans faces. Snorting derisively Cyberdramon flexed his claws before he said "And just what do you plan to do? You know I can reach mega and neither you or your brothers have shown evidence of being that powerful. Even if all humans here went to ultimate like myself I could just digivolve to mega to end you."
Tim stiffened before looking at Chris causing Stacy to get a bad feeling as she knew her brothers all to well. Tim was righteously pissed and about to do something stupid pulling his older more passive sibling along for the ride and it was unlikely either would listen to her at this point. After seeing fractal coding appear around both siblings hands she knew she was right. Deciding to try anyway she took in a commanding stance and stood in front of her little brothers before she said "Christopher. Timothy. Stop this right now. We are at a disadvantage and should retreat b-....." The damned fools stepped around her ignoring her even though she had taken on the stern 'mom tone' most people instinctively would listen to but not her brothers when they set their minds on something.
"If we take you down before you digivolve then there should be no trouble then." Tim said before he then said "Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!" Tim began glowing as what looked like a large rock covered in various gemstones engulfed his body before the rock cracked apart and burst open revealed a beast with precious stones all over his body including diamonds. "Gogmamon!" Holy hell even at ultimate Tim had become quite the imposing sight indeed.
"Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!" Chris said as he glowed a feathery barrier surrounding his body before the feathers scattered to the winds revealing his ultimate form from earlier. "Hippogriffomon!"
"Makes me wonder what they heard when I was talking. Did I sound like the adults from the Charlie Brown cartoons or are those two complete reckless boneheads?" Stacy said with a sigh as she looked at the katana as if it would provide the answers she needed.

As it turned out, everyone seemed to have made it out safely and Arthur was also right to put his two companions, Elektra and Conan on alert for impending battle, for mere moments after they had all gotten out, the once sealed away Cyberdramon broke loose and came to accost the group. Once again, as before while Arthur along with Conan and Elektra watched on, said enemy digimon displayed its arrogance towards and derision of Stacy. That, in turn, led to Stacy's brothers going and spirit-evolving into their respective digimon forms despite Stacy's urging them to retreat instead since the enemy was too powerful right now and because she had not yet figured out anything about her mega form totem or about the sword either.
Oh my, here we go again...o ye Norns above...please ensure that we all make it out of this battle as safely as possible...
Musing thus silently, Arthur looked at Stacy and asked her what she wanted to do in the present situation
"So...not to put even more pressure on you than whatever you are under right now...but, you mind if I inquire of you as to what is the plan for us now, Stacy? Given what has transpired...I do believe we are soon to be in the thick of mortal combat once again...and this time, our enemy does not seem to be using any tricks and illusions."
After asking that, Arthur fell silent and awaited whatever plans Stacy would come up with and whatever decision she would make going forward in the present situation.

Hippogriffomon spread his wings and sprang into the air heading straight toward Cyberdramon the dragon smirking as he evaded the airborne siblings talons. Meanwhile Gogmamon had found a sizable tree and used his savage strength to rip it out of the ground as if it wasn't rooted before throwing it as casually as one would throw a baseball right at Cyberdramon. Cyberdramon blasted the tree into pieces before he said "Really? So you tried to attack me before I digivolved? Let me show you the error of your ways." Then he began glowing with the light of digivolution before he transformed into Examon causing Hippogriffomon to back off a bit but still looked as if he was trying to plan the best method of attack.
When Arthur spoke up asking what her plan was given the current situation her head snapped up looking understandably frazzled before she, in her stressed state, said "I don't know. Not only I don't know how to reach mega but things have fallen all to hell as my brothers are ignoring me. I don't know if we're honestly going to make it out of this alive."
Examon looked down on Stacy with a cruel grin before zipping higher into the sky as he shouted "Pendragon's Glory!" Upon finishing zipping higher into the sky he fired a rain of lasers from his mouth aiming them right for Stacy. This attack was bound to more than reduce a human of any age to ashes. Stacy saw the laser fire coming toward her while hearing her brothers come for her. There was no way she could evade using digivolution or otherwise.
Then a holy aura enveloped her before spreading the bright light over the field and when it ceased there was a smoking crater but no evidence Stacy had even existed. However unknown to everyone else the rumors of Stacy's death were greatly exaggerated as she was now in a familiar white background. Blinking she saw the spirit of Hinookamimon approaching her before she asked "What happened? Why am I here?"
"I brought you here before you were reduced to ashes by Examon." Hinookamimon said as she got closer to Stacy and said "You know of the problem you have at hand. To protect the others you must digivolve to mega."
"I'm sure you know that is easier said than done when I was given a cryptic clue to work with." Stacy said somehow not loosing her cool.
"Calm down, Stacy. It is not as cryptic or deep as you think. You have the totems already to digivolve. As for the katana, think of it as a conduit to bind the power not just a weapon. The last two spirits in this line of Blitzwolfmon and Lupinecerberusmon are what you need. Think of it as a fusion of the two." Hinookamimon said in a calming tone her voice seeming to reach Stacy as the woman calmed down.
"Fusion?" Stacy said before fractal coding began appearing around her right hand. Setting the katana in the crook of her right arm she brought out her D-Tector. She then ran her hand over the digivice as she said "Execute! Fusion evolution!" her body became engulfed in holy light which soon appeared over head over the battlefield she was transported from with the sound of a wolf howl catching the attention of all there.
Examon gaped in shock at the light as an armored being in the form of an anthropomorphic white wolf appeared in the sky being held up by a pair of pristine white angel wings. Her size was drastically smaller than her previous two forms being only three feet tall but the group could easily recognize the katana at the digimon's hip as the digimon said "SacredOkamimon!"

It was a smart decision for Arthur to have digivolved into his spirit digimon form since not long after that, the Cyberdramon digivolved into Examon in response to the attempted attack by Stacy's brothers and that led to said enemy raining destruction upon the whole group in the forms of beam attacks. Both Conan and Elektra got in front of Arthur in an attempt to protect him, but of course, none of their efforts seemed to be enough due to the enormous power gap between themselves and their enemy, the Examon.
Curses...what now? Even with all of us fighting together...that behemoth seems nigh unstoppable...
Arthur mused silently and grimaced as he braced for the death-dealing impact to come in and annihilate him and his companions who also had similar expressions on their faces. However, just as disaster was about to overtake them, Arthur noticed a glowing light emerge from Stacy as she began what sounded like the evolution process to achieve her next stage of power and capacity. Said light covered over Arthur, Conan, and Elektra just in the nick of time and thus prevented their untimely deaths from the destruction beams that been fired at them by the Examon. Once the potential disaster had passed, Arthur noticed Stacy's new form as she announced its name as being "SacredOkamimon".
A rather interesting form...and as I suspected, that katana really was the catalyst for this evolution...
Arthur mused silently as he beheld Stacy's new form with great curiosity and with the others in their group, waited for whatever Stacy would do next.

It seemed Examon wasn't the only one surprised by the appearance of SacredOkamimon as Hippogriffomon and Gogmamon were staring up in the sky at the small digimon seeing how her pristine wings were glowing with her holy power. The Gogmamon also known as Tim then said "An armored anthropomorphic wolf angel? I don't know why I am so surprised given her other forms in her holy line. I just didn't expect her to be so... so..."
"Cuuute!!!" Hippogriffomon said filling in Gogmamon's outspoken thoughts nicely but it still caused the mineral based digimon to facepalm at his older brother being so embarrassing.
"Yes. She is cute but I also wasn't expecting her to be so small given that up until this point her forms had been gradually increasing in size." Gogmamon said after he finished facepalming.
Meanwhile in the air SacredOkamimon was staring the dumbstruck giant dragon down with her wings occasionally flapping just enough to keep her aloft. After the awkward stare down she finally said "Examon! I may have made the mistake of accidentally releasing you but if you think I'll let you murder those under my protection then you are damned delusional." She then increased the speed of her wing flaps before the white wings began glowing gold before she said "Heaven's Rain!" A flurry of golden holy bolts towards Examon causing the dragon to take evasive action by diving for the ground still getting grazed by some of the bolts landing on the ground with a boom which shook the ground. Then he swiped his tail at Gogmamon causing Hippogriffomon to use all his strength to pull his younger brother out of the way narrowly being successful since Gogmamon wasn't exactly lightweight.

Arthur smirked in amusement as he heard one of Stacy's brother's cooing over how adorable her new form was and at how her other brother reacted in what seemed to be dismay at the embarrassing display.
A natural reaction, I suppose...
Arthur mused silently thus as he kept his eyes on the skies above as he watched Stacy staring down their Examon enemy. Then, all of a sudden, the battle recommenced with Stacy attacking the Examon in retaliation for his attack on her party earlier. Then, in response, as Arthur looked on in awe, the giant dragon dove headlong for the ground and then executed a tail swipe at one of Stacy's brothers who was in his Gogmamon form, but this failed to connect since Stacy's other brother who was the Hippogriffomon currently worked to pull his sibling out of the way. However, the wind gust from the tail swipe sent Arthur nearly flying back against one of the piles of rubble in the area due to his currently diminutive size...or it would have if it were not for Conan and Elektra catching him in the nick of time and darting to safety behind one of the larger piles of rubble from the building that was destroyed earlier.
"That was a close call, Master Edogawa...please be more mindful of your size next time, won't you?"
Arthur heard Conan chide him thusly for his inattention to the battle and while this was happening, Arthur nodded to Elektra who nodded back and then began to keep watch over the battlefield through a little crack in the rubble that was shielding all three of them from harm for the time being.

Hippogriffomon was momentarily surprised that despite SacredOkamimon's cute appearance she was definitely more dangerous than she appeared but then after thinking about it this was his sister he was thinking about. Long before she got access to a spirit she was often underestimated and that often was one of her greatest advantages when she was able to prove someone wrong.
Then when Examon came at the group trying to swipe at his brother SacredOkamimon grew furious at the dragon's casual cowardice but was relieved that her brothers were both safe due to Hippogriffomon's swift actions. Fortunately Arthur was alright as well since his companions Conan and Elektra caught him as they took safety behind some rubble. Meanwhile Hippogriffomon was catching his breath from having to move his sibling's much heavier ultimate form. Then as Examon's mouth opened glowing SacredOkamimon drew her katana from its sheathe before spreading her wings wide and diving at a speed that baffled both her siblings as she was barely trackable to a digimon and impossible for a human to follow reaching the ground in mere milliseconds without so much as making a sound as she landed. Then her sword became imbued in golden flames before she charged at the same insane speed from before as she yelled "Sacred Sword Slash!" At her high speed she connected with Examon's massive back as the dragon's eyes widened in pained surprise swirling around seeing nothing. In fact SacredOkamimon had zipped past Examon and was mere fractions of a second away.
"Wow. It's like Stacy has become the Flash. Damn!" Hippogriffomon said mouth agape.
"Damn is right." Gogmamon said in agreement with his older sibling.
OOC:
Stacy fully channels her inner speedster as she comes in with her Sacred Sword Slash.
Sacred Sword Slash: She slashes at close range opponents with her katana which is imbued in golden flames.

Arthur and Conan along with Elektra were also watching the battle unfold further from behind the safety of their rubble barrier and Arthur remarked as he watched Stacy go toe to toe with the Examon enemy with an awestruck expression on his face similar to what was on those of her brothers
"Oh my, now there is a sight that I did not think was possible...but I suppose, the Digital World has different rules for velocity maximums than does the human one...Is that common here, Conan? Elektra?"
For their part, Conan and Elektra both nodded to Arthur and remarked in response to his question
"Indeed, Master Edogawa. You will find that there are many such differences between the human world and this digital home of ours."
With that, they both fell silent and watched the battle onwards with Arthur while also keeping their eyes out for any potential additional trouble that could be heading their way to complicate the matter further.

Examon's eyes were now filled with pained rage as he wondered where SacredOkamimon had gone to. "WHERE ARE YOU! GET YOU'RE COWARDLY HIDE BACK HERE!"
If Examon was thinking clearly then he would of known to be careful what he wished for and SacredOkamimon had returned just as Examon finished his last bellowed word but seemed to be going faster her holy power seeming to be sparking across her body in a form similar to lightning. Coming at high speed she slashed her sword at the giant dragon as she ran by. This went back and forth gashes appearing all over the massive beast's body and he was always swiping nothing but empty air.
"How are you so fast? HOW?" Examon roared as SacredOkamimon had stopped standing in front of her brothers sparks dancing from her but her body was vibrating at super speed making her barely visible to the human eye making both her brothers now worried about her she appeared.
Glancing from the injured dragon to her brothers she said "Both of you. Channel your holy power with me and combined Zodiac Bursts from us should finish this fight.
Her brothers blinked for a second before nodding in understanding as the three siblings began channeling holy power SacredOkamimon's power taking the shape of a golden dog, HippoGriffomon's taking on the shape of a rat, and Gogmamon's taking on the shape of a tiger as the three of them shouted "ZODIAC BURST!"
Examon saw the three attacks coming and tried to fly away only for it to prove to be too late as the attacks connected. The impact from one mega and two ultimates was enough to bring the giant digimon down his data struggling to stay together before scattering to the wind. As much as SacredOkamimon didn't want to destroy him she knew this was a matter of self defense and since she was leaving the data alone Examon had a chance to maybe not become the same monster from before.
The siblings then returned to their human forms but Stacy looked pale and was holding her head. She wasn't looking so good as she collapsed to her knees as she said "I...I don't feel so good." Her words were a bit panicked. This was the Digital World and the Dark Area at that. This was a bad time for what she suspected could be coming.

As Arthur and his companions, Elektra and Conan, watched onwards, the battle between Stacy and Examon raged on with ever more ferocity and from what Arthur could see, he noticed that the Examon was swiftly being painted into the proverbial corner due to Stacy's newfound strength. It was then that, as Arthur watched on, he saw Stacy rally her brothers for one final, overwhelming attack which involved them launching the one move shared by all three of them at said Examon in a blinding flash of light which resulted in the Examon being near instantly reduced to a mere pile of data once the dust had settled on this fight.
Well...it is finally safe to come out again, perhaps...
Arthur mused silently and then after scanning the terrain in 360 degrees and ensuring it was more or less safe, at least for now, he came out to meet Stacy and her brothers with Conan and Elektra in tow. Once he was within earshot, he congratulated them all appropriately
"That was quite the performance, you three. My comrades and I were in spellbound awe the whole time...you have our sincere thanks for protecting us from that monster..."
Arthur was about to say more, but then without warning, Stacy collapsed to her knees while looking quite pale and holding her head as she remarked about how she was feeling under the weather now. Naturally, Arthur was concerned and so, the first thing he did was set Conan and Elektra on sentinel duty so that they could alert the group if any more trouble was inbound to their location. Then, he looked to Stacy's brothers and inquired, his face displaying genuine concern for his new friend
"Stacy does not look too well now...could she potentially have overexerted her newfound powers and thus caused undue strain to her body, perhaps?"
Then, he fell silent and awaited whatever reply the brothers and/or Stacy would give him in return for his query.
