Sylvia nods. "Thanks, Blaster... Though it would really suck if they were live and you grabbed a bad sheathing only to get blown off the mountain." She grins a bit before she climbs up after Kima... Grunting a bit as her back twinges. "...Right. Still beat up from Kuwagamon..." She mutters, before making her way up onto the final bit.
Upon seeing the ruins built into the mountain, she whistles a bit. "Man. Looks like a dragon's lair or something out of a tabletop game." She comments, while Arata lands next to her.
"What's a tabletop game?"
"I'll steal a couple rulebooks and show you, if we ever go back to the human world."
The bee grins and his wings buzz. "Cool." He then nudges at Sylvia's bag. "Got any more sweets?"
Sylvia laughs a bit and reaches into her bag before handing him a hard candy of some kind.

"That it would but ta be honest if those cables were charged enough to blow me off tha mountain you and Kima woulda been reduced ta ashes by touchin em." Blaster said in a serious tone not usually heard in such a normally jovial digimon.
After Kima made her way up she turned and saw Sylvia coming up right after. Noticing the older girls' grunting she asked "Oh no I forgot about your back. Sylvia, are you okay?"
At Sylvia's comment regarding the ruins resembling a dragon's lair or something out of a tabletop game, Kima said "Sure does and these ruins seem pretty old too."
Takoda was too caught up in the feeling from earlier that he hadn't noticed what was being said around him and by looking at the ruins he had a feeling this was what they were looking for or, more like, what was inside. While not as attuned to the mystical side of things as his teacher and father figure, Jijimon, he knew enough to recognize certain signs.
He then began walking into the ruins without so much as waiting for the others but he wasn't running by any measure. "Takoda wait!" Kima called out before beginning to follow with Blaster right behind.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. Let's just go." She says to Kima before Takoda runs off. "And we're going." She giggles as she moves pretty casually behind Takoda's more running pace. Arata picks himself up and flies after Takoda.
She makes a note for herself though: Since arriving up at the mountain, there hasn't been a comment from the peanut gallery. How strange... She resolves to figure out what could it be later. Maybe it's the "mystic energy" keeping the comments out of the headspace.
Meanwhile, Arata hovers up near Blaster and Takoda, looking over the architecture of the temple. "...A true craftsman built this place. It looks almost outright programmed." He comments, slightly slurring because of his sucking on the candy. "Wonder what sorta Digimon lives here? Clearly something tied to Takoda..." the bee muses, before landing and starting to walk along in a swift toddle.
Sylvia just giggles.

Kima was looking at the intricately designed walls and various statues of winged creatures of various kinds. There were also some humanoid statues and at closer inspection had vampire fangs which made Kima shudder. "Judging by these statues I hope if there is someone in here it isn't a hungry vampire. I honestly don't know how I would handle something like that if that is the case."
A short time later Kima and Blaster spotted Takoda near a large door while resting his paw on it as if testing how much strength was needed. Before either could speak though Takoda placed his other paw on the door and pushed with his full upper body strength the door slowly and gradually creaking open fully before dropping to all fours once again.
When Arata mentioned a digimon related to Takoda, Kima said "This place practically screams vampire but Takoda and I were never told anything about the remaining animals being vampires."
"There are vampire digimon that aren't humanoid so the possibility of one of the three animals could be a vampire." Blaster said as he and Kima followed after Takoda who was walking through the door he opened. At Kima's worried look, Blaster said "Don't worry, Kima. If it is a vampire then at least we have numbers on our side."
Following Takoda down a long dark hall that opened into a large area they soon spotted light shining from a hole in the ceiling on what looked like some kind of alter. Was this place some kind of temple? Looking again at the alter which Takoda had stopped by Kima and Blaster got closer until they could see something sitting ontop of it. It looked like some curious kind of gun that looked like a cannon and rifle had a baby. That and it was well maintained so it was likely the weapon still worked so maybe messing with it was a bad idea.

"...Aight, what do we shoot to summon whatever is going on here?" Sylvia asks as she struts up to the altar, and looks at the weird weapon sitting on it. Looking at it from all sorts of angles, but wisely not touching it.
Arata, meanwhile, just kinda mumbles "I don't like this place anymore." as he quivers. "It's dark and scary and cold." He then nyooooms up to Sylvia and tries to pull her away from the altar. "Nee-san, please don't..."
"What? I'm not touching it... yet."
"Don't!"
Sylvia giggles gently and nods. "I'm not, I'm not." She then looks around again, for like any wall writings or something. Anything that might give a clue... Or maybe Takoda will end up just instinctively figuring out what's going on. This is his mystic connection after all...
But darn, she really kinda wants to shoot the gun if only to see what it does.

"I think we should leave it alone, Sylvia. It is a pretty bulky weapon and might have a nasty kick to it." Kima stated in full agreement with Arata and just because of the creepy vibes of the place.
Takoda looked at the weapon some more before his ears twitched hearing footsteps approaching the room causing the Pumamon to turn around seeing a wolf digimon with blades on its legs. "A Sangloupmon? Here?" Takoda said as mentioned Sangloupmon came closer to them but was closest to where Takoda was standing still in front of the alter. The Sangloupmon and Takoda seemed to be staring each other down before Takoda then noticed that the wolf digimon lacked the large vampire fangs the species was known for. "I never heard of a Sangloupmon with fangs that short. How odd." he muttered accidentally.
Apparently Sangloupmon had heard him loud and clear and began growling causing Takoda's eyes to widen as he realized his error. Trying to deescalate things before it got worse he said "I didn't mean to offend you I.." That was all Takoda got out before Sangloupmon charged swerving to the side before body checking Takoda sending the red feline flying across the room hitting a wall.
"I was assigned by my tribe to defend these ruins from invaders like you." Sangloupmon said as he lifted his paw placing it on the weapon as his paw and the weapon began glowing as he said "This weapon belongs to my tribe and no one else and you all will pay for thinking of invading here." Then the weapon vanished as he absorbed it into its body the weapon now becoming part of him.
"That's not good." Blaster said pushing Kima behind him readying himself should Sangloupmon turn to attack them.

"...Arata?"
"Vampire wolf Digimon. Very bad news."
"Armor up."
She flips her Digivice out from her sleeve and points the aperture towards her hand. "Digimental, realize." The Digimental manifests into her hand in a spiralling burst of energy. "Digi-Armor, Energize!" She flares her Digisoul and pumps it into the Digimental, before it bursts into a large surge of Digisoul power that she clutches in her fist, rushing up her arm. She forces it back into her palm. "Digisoul... Charge! Armor Evolution!" She points the screen at Arata, when bright light bursts out from the screen and envelops him.
"FanBeemon, Armor Digivolve too...!"
"Honeybeemon!" The light fades, and the now human-sized armored bee floats into the air and puts his hands up to match up with fisticuffs. "Put up your dukes, Sangloupmon. Come on." Arata grins before zooming up towards the wolf-vampire, swaying in a slight figure eight motion.
Sylvia smirks as she sashays her way up next to Arata, keeping her Digisoul flaring around her fists, and doing her best to portray a menacing aura like a Jojo character. "Unlike some humans, I'm not afraid to square up with you. So, I would rather we talk this out at least a little bit. But... if you wanna scrap before we do, I don't mind." She grins, raising her own fists and settling into a combat stance.
"...I've never fought a wolf though. So this will be a learning experience."

Blaster could feel something about Sangloupmon. Normally this vampire wolf was a champion digimon but, judging by the power levels he was giving off, that seemed to be not the case. So he was like Blaster in that regard and was a rookie. Seeing Sylvia bring out her digimental, he called out "Sylvia wait! This guy isn't a champion but a rookie."
Too late it seemed as Arata had armor digivolved to Honeybeemon a brief moment later and was flying in figure eights in front of Sangloupmon taunting him. Now concerned but not letting it show he stared down Arata as Sylvia came up next to her partner with her digisoul still flaring in her fist. Looking at the human he chuckled before he said "For a human you have spunk but I won't go down so easy." Sangloupmon could feel something and it wasn't from the tamer and her partner but was still near. "Ears of the Wolf!" he said causing Kima to gape in shock this vampire with blades on his legs was the wolf Jijimon had mentioned. His head whipped around to where he had knocked Takoda seeing the cat trying to sneak up on him before turning to face the red feline.
Takoda almost got the jump on Sangloupmon but somehow wasn't able to catch the wolf by surprise. Watching carefully for an opening he braced himself before Kima snapped out of her stupor and shouted "Takoda! This guy is the wolf Jijimon mentioned! He used an ability called Ears of the Wolf!" To say Takoda was surprised was an understatement but now they had to calm Sangloupmon down somehow.

Sylvia grins. "...Oh, if he's just like, Rookie strength... Arata, stay back until I need you."
"Nee-san?"
"I can take him then. My punches will actually sting." She grins and steps forward. "One on one, Sangloup-boi. No named attacks, and I just use my fists. Deal?" She asks as the Honeybeemon backs off and lands, conserving his energy. Maybe this is at least a decent chance to acclimate with the power of the Digimental so he doesn't get so exhausted.
But Sylvia is quite happy with this change of events. She can get some combat practice in against an enemy of a body type she doesn't see in the Real World often. She keeps her fists raised, Digisoul surging. "Either way, I'm not gonna take your weapon. You can keep it for all I care. I just want to see how you fight... and how I handle someone like you."

Sangloupmon glared angrily at Takoda before Sylvia's words caught his attention and Sangloupmon stared her down. Was she serious? Digimon even at rookie strength could easily kill humans but she right before his eyes challenging him to a fight. Looking around at everyone else before focusing on Sylvia he snorted with amusement and said "Deal. Though don't complain when I stomp you good." Getting into a fighting stance himself he looked at the blades on his legs and wiggled his way out of the metal boots that beared them making the fight more even as he brushed them aside a bit so they wouldn't get in the way. Without the weaponry on his legs looked more like ordinary wolf legs. "I figured wearing my weapons to such a fight would be considered less then fair and I will not dishonor myself in such way by wearing such things in what is supposed to be a fair fight."
Takoda looked pleasantly surprised as it seemed Sangloupmon was an honorable digimon if a bit hot tempered. Maybe a good fight would be enough to calm him down so they could talk. Sangloupmon's tail began to wag as he smiled as the prospect of a good fight as it had been awhile since he had one. His muscles tensed before he charged at Sylvia swiping at her with one of his front paws which seemed to be the quadraped's equivalent of a punch.

Sylvia grins and sidesteps a bit to block the wolf's 'punch' with the back of her Digisoul infused fist. She then rushes forward to try and get under his jaw to avoid a bite while delivering a punch of her own up into the large wolf's chest. "I appreciate it. I was happy to fight you with them on, just without a named attack. But this works too!" She laughs with glee. Fantastic, a Digimon with a sense of honor!
Arata kinda just steps back to be next to Kima and Blaster. "...So, uh... like... 100 bits on Sangloupmon?" He suggests, deadpan. Wow, he's betting against his Nee-san. If he's given any weird looks, he'd simply respond with "What, she said it herself... Nee-san's never fought a dog before! Sangloupmon has experience!" The bee then keeps his attention on the fight, ready to intervene as needed... But he also doubts that Sangloupmon will kill her, or seriously harm her.

Sylvia proved more skilled than Sangloupmon thought as she blocked his paw with her glowing fist. His tail wagged more as he grinned in glee. He never fought a human before and to meet one with this much skill was exciting for him but he remained focused on the fight at hand. As she tried to get under his jaw he jerked his head away taking the blow to the chest though it didn't rattle him as much as such a blow would rattle a human. "Gotta admit, miss, you're tougher than you look. This might be fun afterall." Sangloupmon said his smile not leaving his face. Then he charged.
Meanwhile Arata was taking bets on who would win the fight while Takoda rejoined them. "She may have never fought a dog or wolf before but it is possible Sangloupmon has never fought a human before." Takoda said as he sat down near Arata keeping an ear out for more potential trouble.
"You mean even though she is injured there is a chance that the fight could be almost even?" Kima asked and Takoda responded with a nod.
"Well, little bug, if you are betting on Sangloupmon Ill challenge that bet by going with Sylvia." Blaster said his normal jovial tone returning.
As for Sangloupmon, his charge turned out to be a faint as he zigged last second striking out with his wing attempting to hit the human with them. "I know one thing, Sangloupmon packs a wallop with his attacks for a rookie. Such power looks as if it is wasted by him guarding ruins." Takoda said with a shake of his head.

Sylvia was expecting a feint, but the wing caught her off guard anyway as she tumbles from the impact. She rolls onto her feet and lets out a sharp hiss of pain. Right, still injured from Kuwagamon. "Hey Kima? I'll need another patch job after this!" She says, before smirking as she rushes forward. She doesn't even bother with a proper guard, just hands held back to swing with as much force as she can muster, one fist aimed for Sangloup's face, and one aimed for his left foreleg. But the vampire wolf can smell that fresh wounds have opened up. She's fighting while injured? She's got a set it seems.
Arata grins and rummages around in a "pocket" on his thigh before pulling out 100 bits. "You're on, old man." He laughs. It seems that as Honeybeemon, he's far more... upbeat? Less reliant on Sylvia's need of approval? Whatever it is, he definitely is more loosened up compared to before. The bee winces as Sylvia gets wing-whacked, but seeing as how she rolled onto her feet just fine, he doesn't leap forward.

Sylvia's hiss of pain was not what Sangloupmon expected as he had only hit her hard enough to knock her down then the smell of injuries opening up made him freeze in his tracks. She was fighting him while injured but why? Sylvia's words confirmed it as she mentioned to the other human about needing another patch job. As she came at him he didn't move her blows striking him in the face and foreleg before he snapped out of it. "That's enough. If I knew you were injured I would of never agreed to this." Sangloupmon said taking a few steps back the rush from the fight leaving him as there was no honor in this fight. Heading for his weaponry he put it back on.
"Looks like Sangloupmon is not wanting to fight Sylvia while injured. Maybe they might have a rematch when she's better, little bug." Blaster said before he continued "Oh and don't worry bout money, Arata, We shouldn't of been making bets when she wasn't at full strength." Then with a chuckle he said "Oh and I'm not that old since I'm only slightly older than Takoda."
Kima was making her way over to Sylvia and placed down her bag digging out her first aid kit and Sangloupmon didn't make a move to or away from her. He just stayed where he was. How could he of not noticed she was hurt sooner? Had his eagerness to fight made him unable to sense what was obvious now?

"Aww, come on. I can see you're honorable but it's fine. I have to fight injured all the time." She protests, before sighing and shaking her head. "Fine fine, but we're rematching when I'm all healed up, alright?" She folds her arms with an adorable pout... before sighing as she sheds her jacket. "...Boys, would you mind looking away, please?" She asks, apparently still not content with letting them see the state of her back... or is she just keeping them from perving on her? Who knows, but she makes the request all the same as the Digisoul fades from her fists.
Arata walks up to Sangloupmon then and offers a hand. "...Well, since this has turned out relatively okay then... Hi. I'm Arata. You were fighting my Nee-san, Sylvia." He smiles as he forces the armor form to fade, leaving him as a FanBeemon hovering in front of the wolf digimon as he degenerates mid sentence.
