Between the peaceful sound of the tides, the smell of the sea, the sparkling stars, and the new moon creating an almost mystic spectacle in the night sky, tonight the Binary Archipelago had a serene atmosphere.
So naturally, a bright sphere of concentrated light came flying from the dark continent in the east to ruin all of that. Like a holy meteor crashing down from Luminas itself, this large sphere of light far too bright to fit in with the midnight atmosphere came flying in, looking like it would make a devastating impact.
Yet just as the sphere was about to crash into the ground and make a crater the size of a Whamon, a pair of angelic wings shot out from the sphere, slowing its descent before coming to a stop just inches above the ground. A shining angel Digimon, its form simply a nebulous being of light, cradled a sleeping human child, perhaps no older than ten or eleven years of age, who herself unconsciously held onto two smaller, mammal Digimon, a lop-eared beige puppy and a rodent-like creature with large ears vaguely reminiscent of bat wings.
The angelic figure gently lowered the trio to the ground before shrinking slowly fading away into a shower of sparkles. Soon, all that was left of the figure was a single glimmering bullet that dropped to the ground besides the little girl.
So... yeah. That was a thing that just happened!

Winter sucked. It was long, it was cold, and it got dark out way too early. And while Saori and Frost liked the winter season, Kaori and Flame did not. And because they were the loudest ones, they were the ones in complete control of what they did today. And today's activity involved heading to the Binary Archipelago, a nice series of summery islands that they had heard about from a Digimon involved friend before.
Even Saori and Frost had to admit, they had a lot of fun on the Archipelago that day. The group did plenty of things that those would do in a typical beach episode of an anime, such as swimming or getting into hijinks together. Alas, the day was coming to end, as shown by Kaori and Saori sitting on the sand with Flame and Frost, watching the serene night sky.
"Night's super pretty here," Kaori said. "In the Digital World, I mean. You can still see stars up in the sky and everything."
"Even if they don't form any decipherable constellations," Saori said in response, "But yeah... pretty nonetheless."
"Should we go get a late dinner now?" Flame the Agumon suggested.
"I agree, dinner sounds very good right now," Frost the Gabumon added, agreeing with his twin brother.
The redheaded twins both nodded. "Yeah, we'll go get dinner and then-" Kaori began to say before the giant pillar of light came crashing down in the east, surely ruining any serenity that the scene had. "W-What the hell?!"
The quartet could only watch as the giant ball of light came closer and closer, with both girls frantically looking at their Digivices trying to remember how to open a Digiport or Digivolve their partners. Thankfully the giant sphere came to a stop as angel-like wings shot from the sphere, forming into an angel-like Digimon who was holding a human girl and two mammalian Digimon in its hands. The angel set the unconscious trio onto the ground before disappearing into a shower of sparkles.
Needless to say, they were all very confused. "What the fuck?" Kaori just blurted out, with her and Flame just standing there and processing what just happened.
Saori, however, shook her head and ran up to the unconscious girl and the two Digimon with Frost joining her, both of them getting down on their knees as they checked to see if they were at least alright.

Thankfully, none of them seemed to be too injured, though they look like they had flown through the air at incredibly high speeds, so their clothes and fur were a little tussled, and skin chapped in places. But as Saori and Frost got close, a voice would suddenly echo out towards the pair.
"Do not approach, knaves!" The bullet besides Koemi began to shake in place as it glowed up with various runes of some ancient script. And much like a genie would from a magic lamp, a strange, spectral ferret began to pour out from the bullet's tip. Those Digi-savvy enough would recognize this as a Kudamon. However, the Kudamon's voice was enough to stir the little girl besides him, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Koemi had no idea where she was anymore. She was in another dark place this time. But this place... kind of smelled... more outdoorsy? Definitely not the dark, abyssal wasteland that she had previously been in. Was she back in her own world now!? She sat up and looked around, immediately getting dizzy from the sudden rise. Even so, she spotted two humans! Then she was back home where... there were lizard creatures besides each girl. And they were holding... well... just regular phones. A lot different from the D-Arc Device that Koemi had.
"Huma... Koemi! You are well?" She heard Pikadan's voice out loud, and she looked around for the magical bullet. Except she found a transparent white ferret creature wrapped around her bullet buddy.
"Shoo! Shoo!" She demanded, gently trying to push the creature off the bullet. Except her hand passed right through the creature as he disappeared into gaseous puffs before reforming once more.
"Koemi, it is I, your comrade... ah..." He froze when he tried to think of his name, before letting out a sigh and muttering in defeat, "Pikadan..."
"Oh... you're all adorable now..." Koemi marveled, as she noticed the two other creatures besides her. "Wait, are these the..."
"Salamon and Patamon..." Pikadan stated. "I believe their powers are strongly attached to my mission. I don't know why there are two holy Digimon, though..."
Koemi just looked confused at this point. She had no idea what Pikadan was going about, who these other girls and their lizard buddies were, and no idea where she was in the first place! It was becoming all a little too much for the little girl as she found herself curling up into a ball and trying to become as small as possible as her chest began to tighten from being overwhelmed.

As Saori and Frost attempted to approach the unconscious little girl and Digimon, a sudden voice boomed from seemingly nowhere demanding them to not approach. Clearly that started the duo, as well as the other duo that were just a few steps behind them. Saori was so startled by the voice that she fell down on her behind from her kneeling position. "Aah!"
"Who said that?!" Frost would then ask, since he didn't see anyone nearby that could've made such a demand. It was then that the bullet besides the girl would form into a spectral ferret Digimon. "A Kudamon... but a spectral one...?"
The girl would take this moment to slowly open her eyes and wake up. She shot up and immediately took a look at Kaori, Saori and their respective partner Digimon. The girl looked lost... and very confused by what was happening. "It's okay, we're not gonna hurt you," Saori said as she got up, in an attempt to reassure the girl.
It seemed that the girl and the Kudamon, now known to be named Koemi and Pikadan, knew each other, though the latter didn't appear to be fond of the name he was given. According to Koemi, Pikadan was "all adorable now," meaning that the last time they had met he wasn't so adorable. The quartet glanced at each other, possibly even more confused than they were a few seconds ago. "Does that mean Pikadan was scary looking at one point?" Flame asked no one in particular.
As confused as the girls were, Koemi was even more confused after Pikadan told her about Patamon and Salamon, and how they were connected to his mission. The little kid began to curl up into a ball as tight as possible, she was clearly very frightened and stressed out at this moment. Saori and Frost chose to give her some space while Kaori was looking to pick a fight with the Kudamon directly.
"Hey you! Pikachu or whatever the hell your name is," Kaori angrily yelled at the Kudamon, "do you not see what you're doing?! I don't know where you all came from, but she's a human like us, and it seems to me that she has no clue where she is or even what Digimon are! I don't know if you're a god or whatever, but the LEAST you could do is be considerate towards this kid! Look at her, for crying out loud!"
"Kaori, calm down-"
"I will NOT calm down! This entitled ferret thinks that us humans are able to just magically understand anything, apparently! Tell me, how long have you known this girl for, huh? And how long has she been in the Digital World?"
Kaori was really tearing into the spectral Kudamon, it seemed. Not even Flame or Frost could truly decide how to respond to the current scenario...

It had been almost a full minute since Koemi had woken up, and thankfully, nothing had been trying to murder her. In fact, one of the people, who looked a lot like the other one, helped to calm her down. They seemed to be friendly! Speaking of friends, she looked around, but didn't see LJ anywhere. "Umm... this might sound kinda funny, but have you seen a lion person around? He has a big sword and wears a cape and a ninja outfit. And he can transform into a bird person!" The words felt ridiculous as they came out of her mouth, but it was the truth!
Then the other human lady started going off on Pikadan about a bunch of different stuff she didn't really understand. But Pikadan physically recoiled from the lady's verbal assault. Then he nodded to Kaori, then turned his ghostly little body to Koemi. "It... is possible that I have not been sufficiently informative, and if that is the case, then I must deeply apologize. It was not my intention to do so. But I do not remember much, and to be honest, I know very little myself. I have only just woken up not too long ago myself, and everything is still so foggy..."
Koemi still looked confused, but nodded back to her friend. She picked up the bullet, using the loop of string attached to it to place it around her neck. She didn't exactly think that bullets made for fine jewelry, but she imagined that Pikadan wouldn't be able to get around much otherwise, and friends don't stuff their friends into pockets! "It's okay... you lost all your memories! It can't be helped if you don't remember a bunch of stuff! It's..." It was honestly troublesome, but Koemi had to be positive! "It's like a big mystery and fantasy novel all wrapped into one! I get to learn things piece-by-piece, and I still get to explore this brand new world!" She was kind of forcing herself at this point, but she threw a big smile on her face regardless.
Pikadan looked back at her, bewildered, and begrudgingly nodded. "Thank you, Koemi..." He muttered before slinking back into the bullet. And it was at that moment, that the Digimon besides Koemi began to stir.
The Patamon woke up first, opening a pair of unfocused, beady eyes that blinked a couple of times. "Everyone's so loud..." He muttered listlessly as before letting out a quiet yawn. "G'morning. Holy Digimon, at your service. I'll bless you or something later. Someone give me breakfast."
"Mmmn..." The Salamon rolled onto her back, her puppy belly exposed as she stared blankly up in the starry sky before realizing there were others around. "Oh, my! Good eve to you all! My name is... um..." She paused as she came up blank.
"Your name is Aria," The Patamon stated.
"It is?" Aria tilted her head, confused. "That sounds a little off, for whatever reason..."
"No. Your name is Aria," the Patamon insisted. "We were asleep for a long time, and you're still inexperienced. You're likely thinking of a different life and name you had while you were dreaming."
"Oh... then my name is Aria, then!" The Salamon agreed while giving the others a cheerful smile. "It is a pleasure to meet you all!" She smile quickly faded before asking, "This... this is the first time we have met, correct? I fear that I am terribly confused right now..."

Koemi asked Saori if she saw a lion person around, who has a big sword, a cape and a ninja outfit, and can also transform into a bird person. Had this been the Saori of, say, three weeks ago, she would've assumed that Koemi had gone bonkers and clearly needed professional help. However, Saori was now bonded with a yellow lizard wearing a wolf pelt who shoots ice, so clearly this lion man surely did exist. "No, I'm so sorry," Saori said to Koemi, with the tone of a caring older sister, "you guys are the only ones that came here."
"How the heck DID you guys get here anyways?" Flame asked. "It looked like you were gonna crash right into us until you didn't. Scared us all half to death!"
The Kudamon was clearly affected by Kaori telling the spectral ferret off, so much so that he actually took Kaori's words to heart and apologized to Koemi, explaining that he didn't remember much about anything himself. That kinda made Kaori feel a little bit bad about what she had just done. I didn't know he had amnesia... Kaori thought to herself. At least Koemi had a positive attitude about helping him recover it, at least.
"I suppose your amnesia means you don't know what you are, then?" Frost asked as he approached Pikaden. "I imagine myself to be fairly knowledgeable on the Digital World, and even I really cannot tell what you are. Kudamons aren't normally spectral, after all."
Then the two Digimon that Koemi had begun to wake up. The Patamon was the lazy type it seemed, as he seemed to not care about anything and asked for breakfast ("It's past dinner, actually," Saori corrected him,) while Aria the Salamon was the confused type, not even knowing her own name at first. She asked if this was the first time she was meeting everyone.
"I would have to assume so," Frost said to the Salamon.
"She isn't the only one who's confused," Kaori said as she crossed her arms. "The four of you literally just crashed in on our relaxing evening on the beach and my brain is still trying to process it right now."

Koemi definitely looked deflated when Saori told them that they arrived alone, and when Flame asked his question, she looked more confused than anything else. "I... don't know. One second, I was helping Pikadan grab a bunch of eggs that looked like angel wings that were in this creepy skull fortress in this really big... dark... scary wasteland..." She muttered as she tried to process it. It had all happened so fast! "I got both of the eggs, but then this dark shadowy monster attacked me, but then this light thingy appeared and swallowed up the darkness, and then everything went white!" She waved her arms frantically as if to describe the crazy situation. "And after that... we woke up here..." "I see... This doesn't feel like the abyssal wastelands where we were last laid to rest..." The Patamon commented. "But I suppose that much should be obvious. The Dark Area wouldn't allow for such... casual, 'relaxing evenings'. Though I suppose that it is for the best." "Dark Area? Abyssal wastelands?" Aria repeated, tilting her head from side to side in confusion. However, the Patamon nudged her. "Do not concern yourself over the petty details, Aria," He advised. He glanced towards the girls and their partner Digimon, as if to briefly acknowledge their existence - such a charmer, really - and then turned towards Koemi. "Then if the others found us, it means that you and your... living token... were the ones that awakened us. My name is Wish, and I assume that you are no doubt pleased to meet us. And I suppose we should offer our gratitude." "Yes, thank you very much!" Aria piped up. "...I think...""And while many legends must have no doubt spread about our magnificence and power during the apex of our power, our current state and capabilities are... somewhat lacking... due to unforeseen complications. As such, if you are in need of immediate salvation from a global threat, I regret to inform you that you will find Aria and myself wholly unqualified for such a task at this time." "Oh, umm..." Koemi wasn't sure where to begin with that part. "I'm sorry, but I've never heard of you before... But I'm not from this world, so maybe someone else would know!" She looked over towards Frost, who claimed to be knowledgeable about the Digital World. Sadly, there weren't any such legends or the like that the Gabumon could draw upon, no matter how knowledgeable he may be. "I see. Well... perhaps that's for the best then," Wish admitted, his tone cryptic. "Regardless, I suppose we have you to thank for awakening us. But though I wake, I also tire. Yet even more so, I hunger. Would it be too much to ask for something to e-" He stopped mid-sentence as he let out a groan of pain. Then, Aria began to do the same. A black lightning began to crackle around their bodies as their pained groans turned into outright screams. "Wish, Aria? What's going o-" And with that, Koemi herself began to undergo the same experience as she felt like a thousand needles jab into her entire body all at once as the black lightning coursed through her body. And then the three collapsed as the lightning left their bodies and turned into three globules of darkness. And then their forms coalesced into three sinister-looking beings. One was a short and stout armored creature bearing two large lances at the end of each hands. One was a demonic-looking cross between an insect and a vehicle with axes at the end of its limbs. And finally, the last was by far the most humanoid, with black armor covered in eyeballs. "SkullKnightmon... DeadlyAxemon... and... Duskmon!" Pikadan finally spoke up, still inside the bullet, yet speaking nonetheless as the runes on the bullet twinkled with each syllable. "Koemi! Get up! We have to escape!" But it seemed like Koemi, Aria, and Wish were still recovering from whatever strange happening that had just transpired. |

They were collecting angel wing eggs from a skull fortress in a big, dark, scary wasteland? That sounded odd to the others, but for Frost, he felt like he knew where Koemi was talking about perfectly. "Please don't tell me that you were in the Dark Area," Frost said, causing Flame to gasp in response and the twin girls to look at each other in confusion.
"The Dark Area?" Saori asked.
"That doesn't sound good," Kaori added.
Frost shook his head in response. "It's not good at all. It is a very dangerous place where a lot of morally questionable Digimon inhabit. You really only go there if you absolutely have to, and you have the power to defend yourself."
After the Patamon introduced himself as Wish, he mentioned how there were more than likely many legends spread about him and Aria, saying that they were no longer fit to save anyone from any global threats. "Unfortunately, I have heard no legends about any Wish or Aria, and neither has my brother," Frost explained.
"Yeah, so you kinda sound like a pompous jerk right now," Flame added. "Luckily there aren't any world-ending things that I'm aware of! Then again, I'm not usually aware of much..."
Suddenly, something very bad happened. Koemi, Wish and Aria were all struck by this bizarre black lightning before all three of them passed out. Kaori and Saori's eyes widened, with Kaori stepping back and Saori's hands going in front of her mouth to stop herself from screaming, and their partners looked equally as concerned. The lightning then formed into three other beings, who Pikaden claimed were the Digimon SkullKnightmon, Duskmon, and DeadlyAxmon. "Oh REAL CREATIVE NAME RIGHT THERE, GUY," Kaori screamed as a sort of self defense mechanism.
Pikaden desperately tried to get Koemi and the two rookie levels to wake up, unfortunately to no avail. "We have to get out of here now!" Saori called out as she picked up Koemi in her arms, with Flame and Frost picking up Wish and Aria respectively, before booking it with Kaori and Pikaden, if the latter decided to follow, at least.

OOC: Pikadan, not Pikaden
"Indeed!" The bullet spoke out, adding onto Frost's explanation. "The Dark Area is not a place to be trifled with, and yet it was... paramount to my mission. And yet for some reason, I ended up in the human world instead, where Koemi found me. And again, for some reason... I just knew that she was the only person that could..." There was a long pause. "...I'm sorry. I do not remember anything more." Koemi clutched the bullet in concern, gently holding her bullet buddy.
And as for the completely valid criticism of Wish's demeanor? The Patamon simply nodded. But before he could explain, the black lightning came out of his, Aria, and Koemi's bodies as the three figures of darkness emerged, and the twin girls and Digimon took the group and ran off. Naturally, because Pikadan was a bullet tied to a necklace around Koemi, he had little choice in the matter other than to accompany the little girl.
"Ngh..." Aria stirred in Frost's arms as her eyes opened up to see the three beings of darkness following behind them. Though they gave chase at a fast pace, something about their movements was... off, somehow. Their bodies moved, yet it looked unnatural, like they were simply puppets imitating the movement.
But the Salamon didn't seem to care about this little tidbit. Instead, her eyelids narrowed like a reptile's as she glowed it a faint light. And despite being holy in nature, something about it felt oppressive and hostile. Enough to chill anyone's spine, even someone as cool as Frost! "Put me down! I do not seem to know much, but I feel like I mustn't allow such creatures of darkness to exist!" She growled to the Gabumon.
Meanwhile, in Flame's hands, if the Agumon cared to notice, but while Wish was unconscious, it didn't seem to be out of damage or the like. In fact, his face looked quite peaceful as he let out an ever-gentle snore. "Still... hungry..." He seemed to mutter in his sleep.
Koemi? Definitely out cold right now. Though the Digivice she possessed began to glow for whatever reason. But it was probably nothing!

Frost could feel the Salamon moving around in his arms as he was running. She looked back at the dark Digimon chasing them, while Kaori, Saori, Flame and Frost were all unwilling to look back at them. Regardless, the Gabumon felt a chill down his spine as Aria explained how she couldn't "allow such creatures of darkness to exist." The way she said that was definitely cryptic, but Frost couldn't allow that. "I am afraid that you could not fight them even if you wanted to in your current state," Frost said.
Meanwhile, Flame continued holding onto Wish as he too kept on running. He could at the very least hear Wish mutter something about being hungry. "Same here, but I don't think right now's a good time for dinner!" Flame responded.
Being the only one not carrying anybody, Kaori was on her Digivice phone as she frantically tried to figure out how to do. This was the first time she had been put in grave danger like this, and she didn't have the slightest idea of what to do or how to do it. "Please please please please do something.... ANYTHING!" Kaori would cry, scared out of her mind right now. "We can't die like this...!"
Suddenly, Kaori's Digivice began to glow, and Flame began to feel... peculiar. "Kaori... what's happening?" Flame asked. After that, Kaori's Digivice then showed a simple two-word phrase:
DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE
"Agumon Evolution!"
Dropping Wish onto the ground, Flame's body would begin to glow and morph into a much more vicious orange T-Rex looking dinosaur creature with a rock-like mask and red gauntlets. "GeoGreymon!" The newly evolved Champion would stop and look at his own hands, before laughing with glee. "Kaori! Kaori, you did it! I Digivolved!"
"You... but how did..." Kaori stuttered as she looked back and forth between Flame and her Digivice. How was she able to do it...?
But that didn't matter right now. Glaring right at the three dark Digimon that was chasing the group, Flame would stand his ground and begin taunting the trio that was chasing the group. "Alright, you loony dark knight guys! You wanna mess with someone?! Then MESS WITH ME! Come on, let's do this!"

| midnight tithings Geo > regular grey, imo koko & co. |
"No... if I confront them... I'm sure that I will be able to muster the power to..." But Aria's concentration was broken by one of the little lizards turning into a not-little lizard, GeoGreymon! With the help of the device that one of the identical humans was holding. She looked at it curiously. Would she undergo a similar process? Not having access to her greater forms without the aid of a human would be inconvenient. But... even though she thought that... did she even have "greater forms"? How strange. Perhaps she still needed some waking up to do.
Meanwhile, the Patamon was unceremoniously dropped as he plopped to the ground, his beany body rolling down a hill and hitting a tree. With balls of cotton candy instead of coconuts. "Food...!" He muttered, as the Patamon would make his move, unnoticed by the rest. There were unholy abominations present, and as a holy Digimon, it was his duty to cleanse the Digital World of its filth. But sad as it was to admit it, he couldn't do it on an empty stomach! He was just too hungry to fall asleep, after all!
But for as grand and victorious a moment GeoGreymon's arrival was, the fact that he was outnumber by these shambling dark beings remained. And if they showed any signs of fear, or really any emotion, for that matter, they didn't seem to display it. They gave the dino Digimon a cursory glance before charging forward in unison, apparently not needing to communicate in order to coordinate their attacks.
DeadlyAxemon seemed to be the fastest of the bunch, as it moved ahead of SkullKnightmon and Duskmon. It used its peculiarly-shaped body, part-demon, part-vehicle, part-insect, to use its odd appendages to cut at Flame while attempting to hold him down.
Duskmon was the second fastest, as it moved in and... kept moving past DeadlyAxemon and the GeoGreymon. It brandished a wavy-blade from his arm as it dove in towards Saori, and more specifically, the child in her arms! "Human, avoid this attack!" Pikadan cried out as a warning, just in case her back was still turned.
Finally, there was SkullKnightmon, the slowest of the bunch. It apparently wasn't as keen on ignoring Flame as Duskmon was, as it leaped into the air, then dove down on the big dino Digimon, holding out its large lance to impale the creature. Apparently it wanted to take down what seemed to be the biggest threat, or at the very least, prevent Flame from interfering with Duskmon. It was a cheap strategy, to be sure, but that's what you do when you're up in the numbers department!

"No, I cannot allow you to try and fight them in the state that you're- what in homeostasis?!" Frost's lecture was also caught off guard by the sudden arrival of Flame's Champion form, GeoGreymon. "He Digivolved... then that means..." Frost looked over to his own twin partner. "Saori, you have to Digivolve me as well!"
"W-What!?" Saori stammered. "I-I can't do that! I don't know how!"
"I don't know how I digivolved Flame, either," Kaori admitted, "all I can remember is just that I didn't want to die today and then suddenly, that happened!"
"Here it comes!" Flame announced as DeadlyAxemon came charging for him first, being the fastest of the three dark Digimon. Flame's first fight wasn't going completely according to plan though, as DeadlyAxemon was successful at cutting the GeoGreymon as well as holding him down. "Augh! Let GO of me, you buggy creep!" Flame yelled as he struggled to free himself from DeadlyAxemon's grasp as SkullKnightmon came closer and closer.
Duskmon, however, wasn't going after Flame... his target was Saori and Koemi directly! Despite Pikadan's warnings, Saori's legs felt like jelly as she stared imminent death in the face. Time seemed to slow down for her as she heard Kaori call out to her from what felt like a distance. "SAORI!"
Saori held Koemi tight and shut her eyes as much as she could, waiting for the impact. She eventually did hear the sword collide with something... but it wasn't her. She opened her eyes and saw Frost on the ground, a giant gash on his middle... he had jumped out in front and taken the hit for her! "F-Frost... Frost, no!" Saori cried, the tears starting to fall from her eyes.
Flame heard Saori's cry for Frost as he looked behind him, and saw his brother bleeding on the ground. His eyes narrowed with seething anger. "You... you..." Flame growled as he finally gained the strength to break free from the DeadlyAxemon's grasp, just in time for the SkullKnightmon to leap up in an attempt to impale the GeoGreymon. Well, not this time! "Horn Impulse!" GeoGreymon's horn got sharper and brighter as he used it to counter the SkullKnightmon's lance. These assholes were going to pay!
Flame was successfully held down by DeadlyAxemon, but out of sheer anger for his brother's injury, he breaks free and counters SkullKnightmon's lance with "Horn Impulse"

Horn Impulse: GeoGreymon's horn becomes sharper and stronger for a short period of time, enough time to ram right into the target at a high speed and cause a good deal of damage. Cooldown is one post.

| midnight tithings R.I.P. Frost, I knew thee Well koko & co. |
Unfortunately, Frost's bit of self-sacrifice had some unfortunate side effects. The first of which was the Gabumon had no choice but to let go of the Salamon he was carrying as he got himself cut up by his enemy. Aria tumbled to the ground about as unceremoniously as Wish before him. Frost and Flame were really bad at the whole "carrying others" thing.
But the second issue was a little bit more pressing, seeing as Frost's sacrifice did nothing to repel the Duskmon. It simply stood in place while Saori and Kaori grieved their grievously wounded ally, then decided it would continue with its assault. Its original target was still alive. Still menacingly facing Koemi, and by extension Saori, it raised its bladed arm once more.
However, it was about time for the other Digimon to jump into the fray! Aria didn't remember much, but she did know that she didn't like the sight of watching innocents perish before her while beings of darkness created more victims. No... such beings of darkness deserved to perish and be wiped out in their entirety! And almost in response to this, the Salamon's eyes glowed a bright white light as it looked like her entire body would burst from the intense light that she emanated. She let out a scream towards the fallen Gabumon, its holy energies providing a fairly moderate boon in recovery.
And yet, Aria wasn't alone. Koemi suddenly found herself undergoing the same, strange experience as she pushed herself away from Saori, clutching Pikadan's key. She held it out in front of her as a strange shining circle of gold and silver spiraling into one another, appeared from out of nowhere, no bigger than the average windowsill. The little girl thrust the key into the circle and twisted as the shining gate opened up two glowing spheres, shooting out towards Aria and Wish, who had just finished scarfing down several strange cotton-candy coconuts.
The twin Digimon suddenly erupted into different forms, Wish becoming much more equine, while Aria became almost sphinxlike. Wish flew in first, deflecting Duskmon's swing with kick from one of his armored hooves, while Aria moved in to cover the squishier humans.
Meanwhile, SkullKnightmon and DeadlyAxemon were spinning along nicely. Or at least SkullKnightmon was. His blow deflected in midair like that, SkullKnightmon spun around like a top until the pushed away DeadlyAxemon moved in to grab onto its shadowy partner. The pair landed safely, then moved in to attack Flame together! For whatever reason, it seemed like they were dead set on taking the Digivolved Dino down!
DeadlyAxemon moved in first, making use of its name to swing down a shadowy axe-like blade down on Flame. Meanwhile, SkullKnightmon moved in from behind, taking advantage of his slower speed make another thrust towards the GeoGreymon, whether it be attacking an already injured Flame, or striking at him while he was focused on avoiding DeadlyAxemon's blow. It would seem that these two Digimon were quite coordinated with each other.

Despite Frost jumping in the way to protect his Tamer, that ultimately did nothing to stop the Duskmon from attacking. After its first attack was interrupted by the seemingly suicidal Gabumon, Duskmon went right after Saori and Koemi again, raising its blade upward. Saori closed her eyes again, preparing for the worst, before she could feel Koemi pushing herself away from her. She opened her eyes to see Koemi, Aria and Wish all undergoing something weird...
First, Aria had emitted a bright light as she screamed at Frost (though for Frost himself, this sounded like a nice and pleasant melody), and almost like magic the Gabumon could feel his wound healing up much faster! Then, two bright lights would then shine from Koemi and hit both Aria and Wish, Digivolving them as well; the former becoming something like a sphinx, and the latter becoming an armored pegasus as he countered Duskmon's blade with one of his hooves.
"Ungh..." Frost groaned as he got up after being healed by Aria, the gash on his abdomen almost completely gone. "Well... this is an unexpected outcome."
"Frost!" Saori yelled as she got on her knees and embraced the pelted lizard with a hug. "Frost, oh my god, I was so worried, wh-why would you do something like that?!"
"Because I am your partner, Saori... I care about you, and I knew you couldn't survive a hit like that. I know you are not yet sold on being my partner, but that's not going to stop me from protecting you."
"Frost..." Saori couldn't believe it. Was she... becoming attached to a Digimon?
Meanwhile with Flame, his "Horn Impulse" counter actually caused SkullKnightmon to start spinning around in mid-air before DeadlyAxemon had to jump in and safely catch him! "Hahaha! Spinning you fools like a wheel right about now!" Flame boasted, clearly proud of his counter attempt. Too bad both DeadlyAxemon and SkullKnightmon were charging for him now. "Uh oh..."
Seeing this situation unfold, Saori would get back up on her feet, knowing what she had to do now. She didn't get any of this craziness and didn't want to accept it either, but they were screwed otherwise... she had to pull her own weight here. "Frost... I know what to do now. You ready?"
The Gabumon nodded. "Lead the way, Saori."
Saori nodded back. With a fire burning in her eyes, she held her smartphone-like Digivice outwards as it emitted a glow similar to how Kaori's Digivice was glowing earlier. DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE
"Gabumon, Evolution!" Gabumon would then also start glow and morph into a white-and-yellow armored wolf Digimon. "KendoGarurumon!"
"Whoa..." was all that Kaori could really say in response.
Being the fastest of the bunch, DeadlyAxemon would try and attack Flame first with its "Shadow Axe" attack. Of course, they probably weren't expecting Frost to jump in with a counterattack of his own. "Howling Star!" The KendoGarurumon dashed right through DeadlyAxemon, slashing at it with the blades on his back that had extended out. Whether he liked it or not, DeadlyAxemon found a new opponent!
As for SkullKnightmon, Flame could now fully focus his attention on him. The dark knight Digimon made another attempt at a thrust towards the GeoGreymon, which did manage to make contact and damage Flame big-time. "Augh! That freaking hurt! Oh, I am sick of you, buddy... Mega Burst!" The GeoGreymon responded by firing a powerful stream of fire right at SkullKnightmon. And it would hurt even more than hell if it made contact!
Flame is struck by SkullKnightmon's "Black Lancer," and angrily retaliates with "Mega Burst."
Moves
Mega Burst: GeoGreymon fires an even more powerful stream of fire right towards the target, doing even more damage than Mega Flame. The downside is that it has a cooldown of three posts.
Active Effects
Feel the Burn (Combat Passive): Fire is Flame's main element. Every fire based attack he does will do 30% more damage than usual. If the target is at or below Flame's level and has a resistance to fire, that resistance will be reduced up to 30%. However, as a trade off, water attacks will do 30% more damage against him as well.
Cooldowns
-Horn Impulse (1/1) Ready to use!
-Mega Burst (0/3)
Frost is healed by Aria and then digivolves to KendoGarurumon, before he starts attacking DeadlyAxemon with "Howling Star."
Moves
Howling Star: Frost runs at incredibly high speeds as he cuts the opponent with his Claymore Wings. Cooldown is one post.
Cooldowns
-Howling Star (0/1)

| Midnight Tithings oh hey, more digivolving! koko and co. |
With our heroes fully digivolved and ready to participate in the combatting, things were looking less survival-horrory and more like a proper action-packed monster fight! Blade doggo and big dino vs. evil lance and axe user, while a pair of horsie and sphinx-lady took on the sword-user!
While the GeoGreymon and KendoGarurumon's attacks were impressive in their own right, the two darkness Digimon they were facing were having none of this, as they moved closer towards each other, SkullKnightmon jabbing his lance into the ground and creating a barrier of darkness to stop both of Frost and Flame's attacks in their tracks! DeadlyAxemon was getting ready to launch an attack of its own, but then the strangest thing happened.
Koemi, still possessed by some strange force, held out her hand, and orb of light forming and coalescing into... a card? "Card Slash. Megabyte Sanctuary," She calmly stated, slashing the card through her D-Arc device. And then the nighttime battlefield became much brighter.
Oddly enough, church bells began to ring from out of nowhere. And an ephemeral luminescence overtook the area around them. So much so that it became difficult to see in such a bright light. And yet the Pegasmon and Nefertimon, two holy Digimon, didn't seem to pay any mind to it. Though the three beings of darkness seemed to physically recoil from this new development. Which gave the group a chance to get an attack in!
Wish spread his wings wide, a blackness enveloping them with tiny sparkles reminiscent of the night sky above. "Shooting Star!" He cried out, the tiny motes of light increasing in size and firing at the Duskmon before them, pelting the foe with starlight and holy energy.
Meanwhile, Aria let loose a hallowed echo into the air as a stone tablet emerged from a red pillar of light, alight with a holy energy of its own. "Rosetta Stone!" The slab of ancient scripture flew towards the Duskmon as well, driving the shadowy foe back as well.
And yet, this Duskmon wasn't about to go down that easily! It's hollow eyes began to glow alight with crimson fury as it let loose a barrage of shadowy energy that enveloped the Pegasmon and Nefertimon duo. SkullKnightmon and DeadlyAxemon were powerful in their own right, but this Duskmon seemed just a bit tougher than the two. It seemed like it might be the leader of this little trio.
- Koemi slashes the Megabyte Sanctuary card, making the area brighter and increasing holy element attacks for 3 posts.
-SkullKnightmon uses its Black Barrier to stop Frost and Flame's attacks, though DeadlyAxemon is temporarily stunned from a sudden occurence of bright light.
- Wish and Aria use Shooting Star and Rosetta Stone, respectively, to deal damage to Duskmon, but Duskmon counters with its Darkness Gazer
