Curious housecat faces on a lion was actually pretty funny to see! Then again, Rumi would definitely be the type to watch videos on big-cats at zoos and whatnot acting like giant pets. "Yeah, I kinda was," she nodded. Before, well, opting to be a dramatic teenager for her last year of high school! "I won a couple medals for school event things, even." It sounds like she took it pretty seriously while it was a proper hobby, though!
A cooler hobby would be shapeshifting though! ...Did that count as a hobby? Rumi could easily make it one. "Shapeshifting sounds pretty cool," she commented, while imagining all the fun things one could do with an ability like that. "Astral projectin' is like, out of body experience stuff, right?" Admittedly, she wasn't overly familiar with the term. But, she'd heard of it a few times from humans who were probably not using it in the same context.
"Have ya considered getting a hobby? Like, outside of stalking?" Back to hobbies, it seemed! It was fine that tall-dark-and-2D felt like underestimating the spirit user, though. It'd probably make things easier in the long-run!
Even more easy, considering LJ wasn't going to turn tail! The digivolving bit helped on that end, too, she supposed. "Go figure," the Holydramon uttered, at her attack being blocked. It wasn't too much of a deterrent, however. But, the fight was definitely in the favor of the duo, between LJ's new form, and numbers. Surely, their enemy wasn't cocky enough to think he was going to win this, right?
The pink dragon knew of a decent idea to send the point across. While the newly digivolved IceLeomon X inquired if the opponent wanted to continue, a bright, colorful light formed in Rumi's mouth. A moment later, it launched toward their enemy. If struck, he'd surely realize he wasn't quite as powerful as he'd walked into the fight.
As much as she'd rather deal a more devastating blow, one to the ego was probably sufficient enough. Plus, this issue was between the lions. It'd be awfully rude to risk stepping on LJ's toes like that!

"Yeah shapeshifting is pretty cool. Shame not all digimon master such an ability." LJ said to Rumi and when she asked what astral projection was like, he said "That's how I understood it when dad described the ability seeing as when he uses it he exits his body in an invisible astral form that can even pass through walls but only can be heard when he uses his telepathy."
LJ snickered when Rumi asked if their dark foe considered getting a hobby other than stalking and said "Yeah having the image of a stalker is not so good pal."
LJ carefully watched holding the kunai knife he had conjured at the ready waiting for the right moment to strike. Even if the darker IceLeomon was considering attacking LJ wasn't dumb enough charge head on without thinking things through. His sparking eyes narrowed as the IceLeomon charged. Apparently continuing was the foes' gameplan but then LJ noticed out of the corner of one eye there was a colorful bright light forming in Rumi's mouth before it launched at the charging IceLeomon. The dark colored IceLeomon caught the blow full on in the chest sending the foe backwards.
When the IceLeomon rose to his feet LJ made his move leaping at the foe attempting to land a blow with the kunai in his hand. The dark colored IceLeomon caught LJ by the wrists and the two began to struggle to gain an advantage LJ's kunai knife vanishing from his hands the magical ability reaching its end.

Honestly, it sounded like LJ's parents had some pretty nifty powers! She had to wonder what kinds of benefits astral projecting really had in the long run, but it sounded cool, all the same. Then again, it wasn't particularly hard to impress someone in the superpower department, when she'd only been living the "superpower" life for only a week! Thinking about it, it was a little concerning that her weeklong adventure had granted her as much power as it did, as quickly as it did.
There really needed to be some sort of rules about that. Otherwise, people would probably run around shooting lasers from their fingertips or something and burning down buildings. Not that she would ever go into a rage and launch lasers into an innocent building at a mostly innocent person inside of it. Never! It was hypothetical, of course.
Not that there was a chance to talk about such things. What, with the stalker, and all. After her attack hit, and LJ took his chance, the spirit user remained back a bit, watching the two tumble about. She gave a small sniff, looking between the two. There really wasn't much of a clear shot, was there? She'd have to wait.
Except, waiting was boring.
While looking between the two, the dragon gave a loud sigh. "Can y'all hurry it up a bit?" Another pink light flashed, harmlessly this time, of course! At least for now it was harmless. Give it a few minutes, and maybe the goat that replaced Holydramon would change her mind. Deciding to give herself a little upgrade to someone with a chance of more precision, Mephismon X stood off to the side, casually twirling her umbrella.
This form was so unstable. It wouldn't have been smart to start the fight off with it. Rumi wasn't even sure how long it'd stay together! "NinjaWizard! Show 'im you're the superior lion here!" Was that... cheering? Or demanding? It was a little hard to tell! But the Mega didn't intend to sit on the sidelines for very long. LJ's window to be a badass was starting to close. Hopefully, he could scare off (or, better yet, murder) that pain-in-the-butt stalker pretty quickly!
Combat Log:
Rumi did not attack this turn, but did digivolve into Mephismon X. Also, she wants LJ to be cool, or something.

The struggle between the two lions seemed evenly matched though Rumi's impatience wasn't helping all that much. Narrowing his eyes LJ knew he had to get some room even if it was a small amount so he shifted his grip on the dark IceLeomon before kicking out with one of his legs the momentum sending the other ultimate tumbling forward as LJ jerked back. When the enemy hit the ground face first LJ had rolled back onto his feet before drawing his axe from his back just in time to catch a pink flash of light from the corner of his eye.
Now instead of a holy dragon a demon goat had taken the place of where Rumi was standing. Why did she digivolve when they had the guy outnumbered two to one? Then she began to cheer or maybe demand him show who the superior lion was. "This guy and I seem evenly matched so beating him won't be easy but like my parents I won't kill him. If I do I'll be no better than that monster is."
"You are weak, boy. Hard to believe I gained my power from the likes of you." the other lion snarled drawing his own axe from his back and charging causing LJ to meet him mid way the weapons clashing. "Maybe once I absorb your data I can digivolve to mega and take care of the little human over there."
LJ's normally brown eyes sparked purple again as he stopped holding back. Yes he wouldn't kill but he wasn't going to take it easy on this clown either anymore. "Just because I have a respect for all life doesn't make me weak, pal? If you knew anything about me you would know that." LJ snarled as he started pushing the dark one back with strength the enemy didn't know he had. Sure it wasn't anywhere close to Lothar's savage strength but it wasn't too shabby though.

Sure, impatience never helped anything. But Rumi rarely tried to be the calming presence in the room. Not that this was a room at all, but the point still stood. With impatience also came the inability to just stand around and feel useless. So, after channeling her inner demon-goat, she was feeling like she at least did something there!
And, she kind of felt like doing something else, too. Hearing LJ's comment about an even match, the Mega pointed her umbrella's tip at the enemy lion. A small sigil formed at the end, and another pink beam was fired off. Confession, this time. But, rather than attempting any truly dangerous blows, it seemed to just be aimed at one of the evil lion's shoulders.
While she didn't necessarily agree with LJ's view on not killing, she wasn't going to upset the kid over something as dumb as a 2D villain. "What d'you plan to do about him, then?" Was this about to be one of those 'accepting your inner darkness' moments? Just like the anime that LJ totally wasn't a protag in. "I don't really agree that murdering in somethin' like self defense makes you a monster," she felt the need to add, sleepy-toned. "But, that's what makes you the hero, huh?"
Heroes had it way harder than badguys, didn't they? Needing to abide by moral codes and all that. And needing to find some sort of salvation for the low-tier villains out there, like Mr. Unnamed-Evil-Lion here!
Not that her help was particularly needed, it seemed, as LJ began pushing forward on his foe. She'd say he was probably stronger than he looked, but from a human perspective, anthro lions looked pretty darn strong. In hindsight, the goat was kind of disappointed she hadn't brought popcorn along on this trip. Even with things as tense as they were, she didn't feel too horribly concerned with where the outcome seemed to be going. Unless Shadow-LJ had some sinister tricks up his sleeves, Good was almost definitely going to prevail.
Plus, it was probably a good way to learn how Digimon would normally fight one another! Everyone liked learning sometimes, right? ...Even if they were a little antsy about doing nothing in the meantime.
Rumi used Confession, aimed at Evil IceLeomon's shoulder.

"What's wrong tough guy? You claim to be greater than me but you underestimated the power you didn't absorb when you copied me. You don't have access to any magic do you? You're just an IceLeomon with a bad attitude, aren't you?" LJ asked with a smirk appearing on his face but before the darker lion could reply Rumi's Confession ability hit the evil IceLeomon in the shoulder causing the dark feline to howl in pain before losing his balance and stumbling back.
It was obvious that Rumi didn't share all his views but, not wanting to show he was a pushover, he put his axe back on his back before making use of the ability to channel aura that he inherited from Lothar as a light blue aura surrounded his body as he drew back his fist before he shouted "Fist of the Beast King!" From LJ's fist the burst of aura took the form of a lion's head as the young digimon threw a punch.
The evil IceLeomon's eyes widened as the attack caught him in the chest sending him flying backwards landing on his back. LJ drew his axe from his back and aimed it at the dark IceLeomon before he said "If you know what's good for you it would be best for you to slink back into the shadows that birthed you. I won't kill you but there is no guarantee a certain spirit wielder near me won't."
The evil IceLeomon glared at the IceLeomon X known as LJ before he said "Very well but just remember boy that I won't stop even when I eventually absorb you." With that the dark IceLeomon turned into shadows before slinking off into the forest.
When LJ felt it was safe he returned his axe to his back before dedigivolving back into Leomon X. He then flopped down onto his behind taking deep exhalations not only to calm himself but to catch his breath.

If this stupid skele-goat had lips, Rumi would be grinning at LJ resorting to violence. It was at least obvious to her that his evil counterpart wasn't going to just relax and talk, after all! And, sometimes a good hit or two was what it took to get a point across. Or, that's what she liked to think. It was entirely possible that there could have been a more peaceful resolution that she'd just ruined but it was too late, either way!
And, when she was used as a threat, the Mega would slowly cock her head to the side, staring into the one being threatened. Or, again, doing her best job to stare when her eyes were on fire and she didn't have eyelids. Man, expressions were hard like this. How did Digimon ever convey feelings through body language, with all their weird forms and occasional lack of fleshy bits?
Luckily, it didn't matter all that much in this instance. 2D Villain retreated, and they were back on track to not be murdered today! For a moment, the spirit user maintained spooky goat form, just in case the shadowy lion changed his mind. But, it didn't take long to determine he wasn't that dumb. Which was probably good, because time was running out on being a fancy-leveled monster anyway. In a puff of smoke, Mephismon X returned to wherever it came from, and left Rumi in its place. So long for now, fancy goat-form!
Now, it was time to deal with the friendly lion that remained! "Are you doin' alright, LJ?" The blonde couldn't help but feel that 'okay' may be subjective. Either way, she walked up to the lion, and gave him a small pat on the arm. "Sorry for kind'a crashing your fight, you would've been able to handle it on your own." Those were fairly nice words, considering, weren't they? Kurumi was at least trying to be comforting about the subject. Whether it was successful or not was another story.
Especially considering they were no longer in imminent danger, and she could ask the question that was eating at her the whole encounter. "That guy seemed pretty interested in you. Any idea why?"

LJ was glad that the foe left without a fight indicating the dark IceLeomon was not as stupid as he thought. However LJ knew it would not be the last he would see of that menace. When Rumi spoke to him and patted his arm the Leomon X jumped slightly startled from being touched just after a life threatening situation causing him to back up his eyes sparking as his body tensed before realizing that was Rumi that was near him before sighing with his eyes returning to normal before he said "Yeah. I'm doing as well as I can given I was facing death only a short time ago." Then he looked uneasy before he said "I hope I didn't scare you when I got tense a moment ago. I used to have far less control though usually it's my temper that triggers my magic sparking from my eyes but it seems to be stress in general that makes me borderline feral if severe enough. I hope I eventually fully get a handle on this cause I don't enjoy scaring people."
When asked why the dark IceLeomon was interested in him LJ sighed before he said "In a way it was partially my fault. Back when I was a purple Elecmon, as in Impmon purple, I was waiting for a Trailmon when a shadow that feeds off the dark emotions of others locked onto me and attacked taking the form of an Elecmon planning to absorb me to become complete. It seems he has managed to not only become complete without absorbing me but digivolved to ultimate ahead of me as well."

Somehow, the blonde wasn't expecting LJ to jump at her touch. The girl immediately lifted her hand away, to avoid adding to the lion's stress. It was fair, honestly. If Rumi was just about any person other than herself, she would be high-strung, too! "Nah, you're all good." The term 'feral' didn't really strike comfort into her, but Rumi wasn't overly concerned either way. "Maybe if ya meditate enough, you can get it under control?" It sounded like a solid enough suggestion, at least.
Ah yes, they were back to Impmons and their coloration that Kurumi had no idea about. For now, she was just going to try to imagine the most obnoxious purple that she could muster. And ignore the part about imps, because that wasn't actually relevant and she knew the risk of going down that particular rabbit-hole again. Weird shadow monsters also sounded like they belonged in a cartoon or fantasy book. Maybe LJ really was a protagonist of some sort! But if he was the protagonist, what did that make Rumi? A side character? Gross.
"I dunno how that's your fault at all, but it sounds pretty annoyin', having an evil doppelganger and all." That was part of being a protagonist that Rumi didn't envy, at least. It did explain the lack of personality aside from 'evil,' though! D'you have any ideas on what you're gonna do about him?"
It seemed like there was only really one way to get rid of an enemy like that. Which was probably murder. Unless the power of friendship was somehow on the table, which was actually more gross than being a side character! "He did say he's gonna come back for you. And despite bein' evil, somehow I don't think he's a liar." Plus, what villain would swear to return if he didn't plan to? That'd be lame!

Taking a deep breath feeling calmer especially since Rumi wasn't judging him harshly and when she suggested meditation he smiled before he said "Yeah that and maybe more training as well could help work out excess energy in a positive way could help with my discipline too."
"More like horrfying as well as annoying seeing as he seems to have personality traits I've been working on improving on. He is far more arogant than I used to be and after seeing that it makes me feel unsettled seeing as I could of easily of been that bad under the wrong circumstances." LJ said and when asked if he had any idea on how to deal with his evil doppleganger LJ sighed before staring at the ground before he then said "I'm afraid I don't know what I'm going to do about him. I know that eventually he'll return but I prefer to not resort to killing as I am a lot like my parents in many ways and their views on the value of life are the same."

At least things were calm enough now that it was a fairly safe space for LJ to unwind. Even if their topic was still on a stressful one, such as evil shadow replicas. It was almost interesting to think about how it would be, if something like that happened to her. But, since Rumi was no hero, it felt unlikely that it could even happen. Plus, she clearly had no concerns about wiping out unruly digimon.
Was LJ really that worried about the potential to be as evil as his counterpart, though? It was a little surprising! "I dunno. Everyone's got the potential to be terrible 'n' all, but I have a hard time imagining that you could get that bad." Then again, the blonde was working on only knowing LJ for less than a day, so it was entirely plausible that his actions currently were not a reflection of his personality as a whole. Even though his personality as a whole seemed to be summarized as a cinnamon roll. An anti-murder cinnamon roll.
"Your family seems to have raised you pretty well," she commented, glancing at the sky. And, then a thought dropped into her mind. This storyline was totally going power of friendship, wasn't it? "Maybe Whatever-His-Name-Was just needs a family or something to set him straight, y'know?" Gross. But maybe not wrong. "You'll haveta figure out how to get him to stop trying to beat you up first, though. Which might be an issue." The only other non-murder alternative that Rumi could think of would be to suggest locking him in a cage at a zoo, but somehow that didn't seem like a very humane option.
Giving a stretch, the spirit user took a quick look around. Just to be sure that the topic of their conversation had truly left, and wasn't about to jump anyone when their guard was down. "Whatever it is, you're the hero, so I'm sure you'll get it figured out." Heroes always did figure things out, didn't they?
Either way... "I should probably start heading back to the human world, though. Before Mori can wake up and wander off." It definitely wasn't something to put past a one-week old Digimon, after all. "You gonna stay here, or want me to walk with you to someplace more public before I go?" Even if the threat seemed to be gone, it didn't necessarily equate to feeling safe when isolated. But everyone was different, so might as well ask!

"You're right. There is good and evil normally in everyone but that doppleganger is like all my traits twisted and it makes him more creepy." LJ said as he tried to figure out how to handle the threat at hand. Boy he sure had a mess to clean up, didn't he? "I find it odd how I have an archnemesis that might be as creepy as dad's and, like him, I wasn't even trying to make an enemy."
"Yeah I was lucky compared to some people. After all not all humans and digimon have good parents to take care of them. They may not be the most outwardly affectionate couple but they do love me and my siblings as well as try their best to care for us." LJ said with a smile also glancing at the sky wondering how many siblings he would end up having. "As for that guy having a family, I'm not sure. He might be willing to murder people in cold blood out of boredom. You saw that guy." LJ said before rubbing his hands over his face as he muttered "What have I gotten myself into?"
Pulling his hands away from his face he then said "I don't know if I'm what would be called a hero at this point but I'm learning so that's something, I guess."
Smiling and looking at Rumi, LJ said "I should be okay. I plan on moving on soon anyway and maybe find a place to train that isn't here since I could of been murdered a short time ago, you know?"

Rumi nodded a bit while LJ assessed the situation. Everything about the strange villain was quite creepy. Stalking included. "Of course your dad has an arch-nemesis, too," the young woman commented, quietly. Hopefully, any time a single heroic thought came to mind, she would remember that heroes got to have creepy stalkers, and decide against it. It seemed pretty inconvenient!
The power of whatever mushy-emotion would win, though. Love, friendship, something-or-another. The blonde wasn't really sure which one, but it probably would work out. Or someone would die! And, hopefully it wouldn't be LJ in that instance! "Hero-in-training, then," she corrected. It was pretty suiting for a protag, anyway. "I mean, it doesn't sound like you intentionally got yourself into anything. But, what do I know?" The answer was: not a lot. "I guess if you get some friends together or something, you could probably make sure he at least can't catch you off-guard." That would be a decent start!
"Aside from that, I dunno how to handle him long-term." Unless it involved murder. Which LJ was against. Because he was a hero. In training. "Your dads might have some good ideas. Sounds like they have some experience in the dealing-with-evil-guys field."
Either way, time was ticking, and the blonde's ability to keep track of time between worlds was pretty questionable, to say the least. "Alright, just stay safe, ya hear?" Considering all the effort they'd been through, and food interrupted, he'd better not die right after she left! "Thanks for the food, again. If you need anythin' when you're out and about in the human world, you're free to look me up. Last name's Saito." As if that wasn't a common surname. At least her first name would probably help narrow it down. Slightly.
With that, there was another glance around, before Kurumi gave a small wave. Then, she started toward the general direction of what she assumed was the nearest Trailmon station. That short encounter, alone, made this day feel like it had been surprisingly long! She couldn't wait to go try to take a nap, Mori permitting.

When Rumi told him to stay safe LJ smiled and said "Don't worry. I'll try my best to remain in one piece." Then Rumi said he could look her up when he was out and about in the Human World, LJ said "I'll keep that in mind. Kurumi Saito, got it. I go by the surname of Anderson but I don't know how often we'd cross paths in school since I am in the middle school part of the building when at school." Sure his brother Kshin went by the same surname too but he doubted his was a common one in Japan so boy did that narrow things down at least at the school building anyway.
As Kurumi left LJ put out the fire and packed up before getting up as well. He figured he would head out as well. More training meant he would be better prepared for another attack in the future.
