Grace looked over at Grimm when he spoke before she said "I agree with not interacting with the zombies unless we have no other choice. Who knows how dangerous they could be."
Kshin definitely noticed how uneasy Gazimon was but didn't pester the other digimon. It also seemed like Gazimon didn't know how to deal with Grace's peppiness. Sure the young Gammamon's energy made her hard to deal with but Kshin had gotten used to his friend's peppiness so it didn't bother him anymore.
"I agree Makiko. We should move on with great caution as we don't know what this shadow is." Kshin said as he put the magic book back in his bag before putting it on.
Then when Makiko spoke to Mona the Terriermon Assistant looked at the Xros General and said "My knowledge merely comes from just being older darlings. As for the shadow and craters I get the impression that they may be near the ruins that appeared first. Perhaps the shadow could represent a zombie of sigificant strength so like Kshin said we should be cautious."

OOC: Another addition of my color codes, this time spoilered and coded to make it easier to grab. [font color="cd19e6"]Makiko[/font] [font color="c51486"]Grimm[/font] [font color="a09d9f"]Astram[/font]
IC: "Older and wiser, and sometimes full of surprises." the Xros general would retort, as she thought about what it could mean. "If it is of significant strength, the question would be is it an obstacle we would need or want to face?" the lilac haired girl would ask, as she studied the option, realizing that Grimm might be their best defense, but offense would be the lowest as her team is Grimm, maybe the Gazimon, but he seemed rather unlikely to want to fight, and she did not know if he was strong at the moment. It would not be fair to push him to fight, as his life was just turned upside down anyways. With the lack of power in her team at the moment, it meant that she would likely have to rely on the other team of digimon in the case that a fight was decided, which meant she would not suggest taking it on herself. Such a thing should likely be avoided by them if they do not want to or lack the confidence to face it. This was a big thing that needed to be figured out only with time.
Gazimon on the other hand finally looked up from the magical object in his claws. "I do not know if we should be fighting these zombies, they can overwhelm us even if they are not more powerful than us." he would state, as he tried to understand the sudden feeling with in him. Something was tingling his digicode, and he did not understand it. He started to feel like there was something more, like his nose picking up on a smell that was underlying the smell of the zombies. A Smell similar to the book, and to the compass... could it be that his trauma was finally manifesting in a powerful ability to smell the powers of Witchelny? He did not know if he was comfortable with it, but did not even realize it was something more than that. It was likely the magical energies that he had been subjected to finally causing his digicode to draw in magical energy. This would likely manifest in other ways later, but for now he was only slightly aware of the changes finally taking to him.
While the other two went about their own reveries, Grimm felt validated that Makiko and Grace both took note of his worries in their own ways. Grace having spoken up in agreement, and Makiko by backing away. The Grimmon was not even certain his chrome digizoid would be able to fend off the Zombies well enough, as he could not understand how they worked. He admittedly was not the most intelligent being out there, just intelligent enough to survive, and be able to be loyal, and have his own goals and plans. He was an evil dragon by type, but his nature was not nearly as evil as people think. He just was related digitally to a rather evil and violent dragon when one thinks about it. Even now, he felt the pull to become that, but there was a block. If he had more power, he would be more confident and comfortable with his general taking risks, but as it stood, he was her only soldier, and that meant that he was her body guard. His priority would be her safety, even if it meant his wings shattered and his chrome digizoid was crushed along with his body. Those she took into her circle were the second layer or priority. He would make sure that she could smile though, and that meant hopefully not taking from her what were hers. Friends, family, digimon, objects, all must be protected. The skull like face of the digimon, clad in metal as it was, had almost a grimace unlike its normal appearance. He realized that this would be a situation where he was only useful as long as they needed something that involved him flying. Once again, he felt helpless, and wished he had his friends with him. They would grant him insight and abilities that he lacked, but all he had was himself, these other digimon that were not under his General's wings, and a Gazimon who though under her wings, was not likely to help. This left him feeling at odds, as his best position in this would be something he was not the most proficient with, gathering information, transportation, and avoiding conflict.
Even now, his digicore burned with a wish to enter conflict, an emotion that he had been holding back on, and only unleashed when the Lilymon had been there. She had put him in his place, but he had been lucky to have survived it... would he be as lucky next time? Especially with the idea of a strong zombie potentially in the mix. Was he immune to them? He did not know. He suspected not though, but thinking about it... did they see any metallic digimon among the Zombies? He suddenly started recounting the digimon he had seen among the zombies, looking at the group. "I am not the smartest... but was there any thing you all noticed among that list of digimon?" It could be anything, be it typing such as virus, vaccine, data, ect, or maybe family, or possibly things like individual typing like dragons or cyborgs. Anything could unlock a step of the mystery for them and possibly help them move forward.
Makiko started writing down every type, though was not aware of what most of them were, this was to take note for the sake of helping form an idea of the pattern that they might have. Some might be coincidental, but knowing if there was seemingly anything missing meant that they might have found a safety measure. All they knew so far was that the digital life forms that were not digimon seemed to be untouched and same with structures. That mixed with the tower, the crater, and the shadow, the placement of the magical artifacts, and everything else, there had to be something they were missing. Some puzzle piece to draw this all together, and she hoped to find that with the help of the more intelligent members of the group. She would look at Kshin and Mona as she looked over her diary, wondering if either of them noticed anything. This could possibly give them an idea, otherwise they might want to find a way under or over the village to get deeper in, in hopes of finding what they needed.

"All right everyone. Let's be on our guard as we make our way through the jungle from this point forward." Kshin said as he clutched the straps of his bag with Grace and Mona sticking close to him with the Terriermon Assistant's ears wiggling as she was now on full alert for the slightest sound in the jungle. Little did Kshin nor Grace know was that the older digimon was not only capable of digivolving but could easily reach ultimate. Mona just hoped she didn't need to utilize her top strength.
"Just be on guard darlings cause I can't protect all of you if something goes wrong." Mona said.
"Don't worry, Mona. I'm sure we'll be fine if we are all extra careful." Grace said which made Mona smile.
"Don't worry, Gazimon. As long as we stay on full alert we should be fine." Kshin said as he pushed some plant matter aside as he lead. Soon the scent of the zombies was picked up on the wind and Kshin waved his claws in a way into the jungle. Mona hoped all was well and that CaptainHookmon hadn't become one of the zombies but the group wouldn't find out the captain's fate for some time yet.
"I'm not sure how diverse the zombies are species wise. My current hopes are that the good captain isn't one of them as I am not worthy to lead the crew." Soulmon said sounding not all that confident in himself. "All I know for sure is the zombies are a diverse bunch of species. I hope there aren't too many for us to handle."
Soon the group somehow made it through the jungle without somehow bumping into one zombie which made Kshin more wary as this did not feel right and he likely wasn't the only one whose brain was screaming red alert. Peaking through some bushes Kshin caught sight of what appeared to be a small group of rookie level zombie Mushroommon. Now they had to wait for the right moment to make a move.

As the answer was inconclusive for now, everyone packed up what they needed in preparation to head into the jungle, and then as they started moving, Makiko would make her way to the center of the group, with the Gazimon walking next to her. This side adventure she realized had gotten a lot bigger than they had expected, considering they were mostly here waiting for the trailmon to be ready to head back out, so they could get to the dark area. Well this area was kind of dark, due to the zombies, but that was not what was meant. Still, she could not help but wonder what was behind this all, and how it would affect her eventual fate, and the fate of the digimon that were meant to be under her guidance.
Still, considering their groups awkward sizing, it was amazing that they avoided getting the zombies to notice them, bumping into them or even traps. Even with Grimm, and his large size, they still managed it rather nicely, which was a positive in this adventure, but this adventure was likely to get worse before it got better at this rate. Makiko knew it from the evidence that was available. Magic abound, but magic, and zombies in a jungle with monsters, this likely in media such as books or movies would be portents for some rather horrible things. Still, considering that they managed this safely so far, she had to have faith in things, but seeing what was coming up, she worried that things were just about to get worse.
Gazimon on the other hand kept his ear to the ground, and was paying attention to the movement, so felt the shuffle first. This made him pause, as he did not want to run into a group of zombies. He made sure not to make noise of course, but he did pull on Makiko's skirt, which drew her attention and prevented her from speaking up. They still did not know for certain if the Zombies could hear, so did not want to risk a horde by drawing their ears with any unintentional noise.
Grimm on the other hand saw them and took a defensive position. He did not want to risk things, but if anyone would fall first, it would have to be him. He did not want Makiko to fall, and did not know the extent of the power of the three that they were walking with, nor what Soulmon and any crew that were brought along could do in a zombie outbreak. If possible, he wanted to prevent anyone from getting hit by them, but he would have to do his best to intercept. So he was ready in case something happened and drew their attention, while watching the rest of the group.
The trio that were not a trio of digimon waited to see what happened and to follow the cue of the three that they followed with, and hoped that Soulmon and the rest were able to keep pace and not accidentally draw unwanted attention.

As the awkward group had made their way along Grace quietly wondered how they didn't draw the attention of any zombies. Heck it was weird to only see a small group of them right now based on what Soulmon was saying earlier. Kshin nodded to the group as he waved to indicate they could make their way along past the group of Mushroommon. While he knew they could outfight this group of zombies it would likely result in attracting attention to their group that they really didn't want. After all what if the zombies that got attracted were much stronger than Kshin and his group could handle. That was something the young Gumdramon didn't want to take the chance with. Sniffing the air he caught a curious scent as well as sensed more magic. Maybe this was the source of the zombies he was sensing. Looking at the others he silently waved them over and the group silently snuck by the Mushroommon one by one.
Soon the group found their way to a clearing with what looked like CaptainHookmon bound in chains. Next to CaptainHookmon was a digimon called AxeKnightmon and unlike the Mushroommon from before that undead digimon seemed to have his free will. Not only that was holding what looked like some kind of magical looking artifact. Was this the dude behind the zombies? If so an ultimate level threat was bound to be trouble. "That item looks like trouble but if we can get it away from that guy somehow maybe we can find a way to reverse its effects." Kshin whispered to the group.

OOC: Sorry for taking so long to reply again, figured I would respond to this thread before doing anything else. IC: The expedition managed to make way rather nicely, though things were getting quite odd. Sneaking past zombies, and finding their way towards the area that seemed most likely to hold their end results, and so it seemingly did. A Dark Knight digimon stood before them, with CaptainHookmon bound in chains in a clearing. This dark knight digimon had an Axe and seemed to know what he was doing, or she, maybe, hard to say. This was likely to be a rough situation, but it seemed Kshin had a consideration.
The Gazimon felt himself staring at the magical artifact, it was odd, but he wanted to both steal it, and get away from it. It was as if his fear was finally encountering a situation where he wanted to face it, if only to be of use, but he did not know if he could do it, not while it was in the hands of such an enemy, especially while said enemy had the advantage and he did not have the backing of the rest of the Gazimon he had lived his entire life with. Still, maybe he could do something, he could dig in there, he could possibly free CaptainHookmon, while seeking out a way to open up an opportunity.
Grimm and Makiko on the other hand had already started plotting a way to distract the dark knight for the rest of the group. "I think if we can engage that digimon, we might be able to get it to chase us, and then strike it at a more advantageous position... but the digimon would need to be fast, and able to escape what ever that Relic does, along with what ever that Axe can manage..." She would start, but find that she could not offer more, their team did not have anything that could counter most options, and the speed required would have to be just enough to keep out of swiping distance, but there was no guarantees.
Grimm was keeping oddly quiet for the moment. He wanted to go in and try to fight him, but knew that his power was not enough for that. He also had been warned off of being loud, and for once was holding his mouth back from it. The acknowledgement at how slow he was not helping him on the fact that he would happily attempt to fulfill Makiko's suggested plans, but he knew as a flyer, he was sluggish.
With all this in mind, they knew they would have to do something, and for the first time, seemingly the trio communicated wordlessly, and started to move. The Gazimon started digging quickly under the ground, aiming for CaptainHookmon, and still carrying a relic with him that was hopefully going to be useful in the captain's hands. He dug as fast as he could, while Makiko and Grimm would prepare to draw the attention of AxeKnightmon, unaware of the way that this situation would line up.
Then it happened all at once. OOC: Leaving this open ended in case you come back and want to continue, but I have an idea or two for how this could play out, for all options of what is needed, but thinking to give CaptainHookmon the Compass back, while having something happen to Gazimon to give it a more magical effect, while also leading to a feed back that lets Kshin get hold of the relic some how, but we can figure that out later.

"Problem is how to get to the relic and who would be fast enough to do that." Kshin said out loud before he then asked "Even if we had any idea who would be the fastest person my issue is how to keep such an intimidating ultimate busy?"
"Kshin has a good point. Between the zombie Mushroommon and the AxeKnightmon one of us will have to make off with the artifact while the others would have to free CaptainHookmon." Grace said looking deep in thought.
"Yeah all without being chopped to pieces." Kshin said with a sigh as Mona took hold of a nearby stick with one of her ears before Kshin asked "Mona, what are you doing?"
"I have gotten a bit of a brainstorm darling." Mona said as she began using the stick to draw in the ground. After drawing what resembled a circle she began drawing various xs representing them and os representing the enemies. Not to mention what seemed to be a triangle which clearly represented CaptainHookmon before she then said "Whomever volunteers to go after the artifact can possibly be the one who frees CaptainHookmon. Meanwhile I will be keeping AxeKnightmon at bay while the rest of you will keep the Mushroommon at bay by knocking them out. After the enemies are dealt with we will see if we can reverse the artifact's effects on the Mushroomon."

While the trio had started their own discussion with the ghosts pirates, the young Xros general and her makeshift team had started their movements. This operation would be pulled right from the pages of a novel if it existed. The plan would work out, that was what was hoped as the trio would work together.
The grey rodent with an attitude digging as fast as he could, a hope of safety and success to his allies. He was not ready to admit that he had some positive feelings of wanting to stick with these two, even if they drive him crazy. At least they did not unnerve him like a certain Gammamon. He almost felt as if the compass in his possession was pulling him forward through the dirt.
Makiko and Grimm on the other hand were moving as fast as Grimm could go. Makiko held on till just short of where the Axe Knight stood. She would roll off in preparation to take advantage of the distraction as her partner let out a bright light as his wings flared to life in a bright way not un-reminiscent of a future move that would likely exist at some point.
The Gazimon would break free of the dirt at the same time as the Evil Mechanical Dragon's advent in the face of the Axe Knight. He did not have time to look back, as he would attempt to break the chains, letting the compass on him show itself to the Captain who was to his left and still bound in chains. He found his claws could make purchase, but not enough to break it in a single swing, maybe not even ten, but he had to keep going while the big guy with the Axe was kept busy.
Then it was almost as if time stopped for the trio. From Makiko's angle of things, Grimm had just been impaled. "Gri-Grimm?!?!?" she would ask in a surprised tone. The plan was falling apart in front of her, this was not how it was supposed to go. She knew this. He was fully impaled, but more than that, the slow movement of time showed something extra, as Grimm seemed to be doing something...
From Grimm's angle of things, he got right up in the face of the evil Knight, and had been about to bounce out of his view when the spear went through him, not just hitting him, but dragging him back with it towards the tree. He managed to redirect it with the help of his tail, and used his scythe arm to slash the artifact out of his hand, but it was too late. He felt it... his life force falling back from him, the carapace he was soo proud of cultivating so far, it had failed to protect him as he was not the one who he protected with it. Instead he protected CaptainHookmon and the Gazimon with it. He looked up once more defiant before he disappeared into data. The last thing he heard being Makiko's gasp of shock, surprise and sadness.
The Gazimon had been striking the chain at the moment when he felt the thunk against the tree, as the chain got hit by the spear. He also got to see the last moments of Grimm as they had known him... defiant, but also looking weak, and a little forlorn. He also realized it looking at the dirt... Grimm had saved his life. In a moment of shock, he realized more emotions. "Grimm...Buddy? Don't do this.." Just as he saw a digiegg form on the ground under the spear.
It was then that the Makiko and Gazimon saw the DarkKnightmon stoop to pick up his spear, seemingly unfazed by the responses, and prepare to take another strike with his spear, the Gazimon had tears in his eyes, and an odd Crimson Glow to his aura. "I... I do not think I can do this alone...and you just stole from me...me, a thief, sure I am reforming... BUT HOW DARE YOU!" His eyes gaining a bright blue glow to them. His fur starting to change color, and to those magically aware, a magical feeling coming from him. He would point his claws at the Dark Knight, his rage and sadness overwhelming what fear he had. This was yet another time that Makiko and Grimm had protected him, and this time... this time he was not going to take it standing back. "Girl... no, Makiko, I no longer want to be in your debt, and it will take time, but I swear upon that digi egg over there... that you will make it out of this alive, and that I have the resolve to change, so support me!" his voice taking on a more powerful shift, as the glow finally overtook him.
"Gazimon Shinka!" the Gazimon would declare as his form shift, initially getting longer, before filling out. His face becoming a helmet of sort with metal plates and a tail coming out of it. His feet splitting into a reverse tri-toed form, and his claws growing what looked like an eye on them. The metal on his body becoming Red, while the rest of his body settling into a Greyish color. His eyes shone brightly in the darkness that was his evolution sphere, before breaking free, the crimson claws and energy around him revealing this new form. "Snatchmon! Let me steal your victory from you!"
Standing there, no longer hiding or sniveling, the compass on his claw now being used as a momentary focus, as a sword came out of one of his claws, and the other hand shooting off grabbing the egg of Grimm's, before shifting back to Makiko to hand her the egg. His look was a bit more fierce than she had expected. He only gave her an acknowledging nod.
He would not let Makiko die, and he would not let Grimm be fully destroyed. He was not ready yet to join Makiko... but he had to admit... he wanted to join her in the future, when he was ready. None of the crew from back in the prairie would believe this. He prepared to engage the Digimon, but hoped he would not be the only one. OOC: Using Snatchmon in an NPC capacity for now, using the WIP moves from my edit.

Apparently Grimm and Gazimon had their own idea as next thing Kshin and his companions knew Gazimon began burrowing into the ground tunneling toward the threats. As for Grimm he was also making his way towards AxeKnightmon. Mona nodded to Kshin and Grace knowing she had the best chance given she was much older and wiser than her young reptilian companions. "Terriermon Assistant digivolve to...Angoramon." She began before glowing once again as she continued "Angoramon digivolve to...Lamortmon!"
Kshin and Grace blinked in surprise at how Mona went from cute and cuddly in appearance to a fairly imposing ultimate. Then they watched as Mona leapt for AxeKnightmon hoping to keep everyone in one piece. However things didn't seem to go so well for Grimm as he was impaled. Mona by then made it to AxeKnightmon and said "Moonblade Strike!" Two glowing swords appeared in her hands and she slashed at AxeKnightmon's axe using her blades to stop the Axe wielding digimon from doing more harm.
"Gammamon digivolve to...BetelGammamon. BetelGammmamon digivolve to...KausGammamon!" Grace said as she went to ultimate form as well before spreading her arms and taking to the sky. Then without being told she glided around taking of her ability to fly to keep the zombie Mushroommon from hurting anyone.
Enemies now distracted Kshin then narrowed his eyes and said "Digi Armor Energize! Gumdramon armor digivolve to...Pipismon!" Soon the hammer tailed dragon had armor digivolved into a blue small bat like digimon before also taking to the air. His focus was on the artifact AxeKnightmon had dropped so he dove for it scooping it up before flying back to Makiko with it and dropped it in her arms as he said "Here hold on to it, Makiko. I am moving to help the others."
Much to everyone's horror Grimm had become a digiegg. Kshin knew the only way Grimm had a chance to be reborn was for Grimm's egg to be kept safe so Kshin let out a bat like screech before he flew toward Grimm's egg making a move to scoop it up before flying it back to Makiko setting it near her and said "Here Grimm has a chance to be okay, Makiko. I'm now going to help the others." Then to Kshin's surprise he watched as Gazimon digivolved into a Snatchmon that was black and greyish tone instead of purple. "Snatchmon I have your back so let's help CaptainHookmon out!"
OOC: Mona attacks AxeKnightmon with her Moonblade Strike. Moonblade Strike: Brings out two giant swords which glow brightly with power before slashing at an opponent with the energized swords.

Makiko was still in shock, she felt the hit of failure, as her partner was now trapped in an egg. She held both the egg and the artifact in her arms, not even going to grab her journal. This was a moment that would haunt her, as she realized how powerless she was, and how the fact that this digimon, though not the most powerful, seemed nearly indestructible, had been defeated so terribly. She felt tears, but they were silent tears. She did not have the time to just cry, that would come later, for now instead, she thought about what else she could do, and finally realized the best option was to put the digitama into her Xros Loader. It would have to do, as that was the only way she could think to keep him safe. If his egg being kept safe meant he would come back, then keeping the egg away from harm was the best bet.
Snatchmon nodded to the Pipismon. He already knew how to help out, as he fired another claw of his towards the Dark Knight, stealing a Red orb from him, and causing it to fly around his body. He hoped that would help the now large fuzzy rabbit berserker with a sword, before heading back to CaptainHookmon's side, helping him standup. While doing so, he used the essence he stole to help refuel the captain in a way that it was normally not meant to be used. It was a gift from an ex thief who just stole a bit of power from the DarkKnightmon, nothing dangerous, just enough energy to possibly help CaptainHookmon get back to his feet if he was worn out or injured, before preparing to possibly fight zombies with the blade that he held in his off hand.
The power that he felt, he knew his evolution might have some extra power now, but he knew that this was only due to the ambient energy of this area. He knew that once his evolution stabilized, he would be a lot weaker, but that was not at the forefront of his mind. No, it was the rage of his digicore, channeled through the sadness of the loss of a friend. He had saved the Grimmon from having its data eaten by the Dark Knight, but it was not enough, he had to help by hindering this enemy that he had helped Grace some how. The crimson blade of energy protruding from his wrist eye had a dark crimson glow to it, as it cut through a zombie mushroommon's attacks thrown at the captain. He wordlessly nodded again, he did not have time for words, just for doing what he needed to guarantee that this nightmare would be over with, and that Grimm would be avenged.
Makiko's Xros Loader felt heavy, as she stayed just out of sight. She did not want to deal with the pain of this loss. It was only during this that a written message passed through her loader. [This sorrow will teach you, let it guide your growth.] OOC: Astram's abilities Abilities: [4 Abilities Max] - Stolen Essence Passive: When attacking with Pilfer and Prize, able to hold on to the stolen stats as a charge. May only hold up to two charges at a time, and they go away at the end of battle or thread. These orbs will float around Astram until used.
- Gifted Essence: May buff Astram or an ally for three posts by expending the stolen essence, buff is equivelent to the debuff caused. Three post cooldown. This is done by pushing the essence orb into the ally or himself.
- Pilfer and Prize: A Three post cooldown ability, that debuffs the enemy hit with this move. The stat debuffed is depending on the target's last move, if the target used an attack, it reduces their offense, if it is a healing or defensive technique, it reduces defense. If it was a buff, then it reduces their speed. The debuff lasts three posts. This attack is done by launching his magically charged claw through his opponent, and coming back with a digital orb of essence.
- Occult Blade: Uses up to two charges of Stolen Essence, improving the power and lengthening the cooldown by one post each. Each charge increases the damage by one stage. Otherwise it is a one post cooldown attack, using a magi-digital blade created from Astram's arm, where as the blade becomes large, and glows more powerfully with each charge used as the orbs fuse into the blade itself.

Grace noticed that Makiko was a mess and understandably so but she had to deal with the Mushroommon first. After glancing around she spotted what looked like a deep hole in the ground that resembled a trench and it was just a bit taller than the zombie Mushroommon. Grace's eyes lit up as she was suddenly inspired so swirling around she flew as fast as she could using her tail to begin knocking the Mushroommon into the trench one or two at a time till all of them were out of the way. Then she flew over to Makiko and landed near her taking a protective stance near the general and said "Don't worry, Makiko. We'll watch your back so Grimm can stay safe till he's reborn. Maybe we can figure out how to use the artifact to change those Mushroommon back. Shame I don't know much about magic though."
Meanwhile while Mona was keeping AxeKnightmon at bay Kshin flew over to CaptainHookmon as Snatchmon was helping him up. "CaptainHookmon, get away from AxeKnightmon and head over to Grace and Makiko." Kshin said pointing to Makiko and Grace with his tail. Said captain nodded silently before he moved away from the fight until he was standing near Makiko and Grace. "Alright, Snatchmon, now all we have to do is stay as calm as possible so we don't make a reckless mistake." Kshin noticed that Snatchmon had gotten ready to fight by pulling a crimson blade from his wrist. Kshin then readied himself prepared to support Mona if she needed the help.

Astram, looking over his blade had a small bit of a smirk in his eyes, as he looked towards Kshin. "I am perfectly calm, and I think I can help keep that DarkKnight off balance." He would state as his eyes returned to the grim glare that it held before, the crimson forehead protecting metal and tail with a blade on it ready for more as he started running quickly around, admiring for a moment his new found speed. He knew that Mona probably had it, and with the reduced power on the Dark Knight's abilities for a few moments, it should make it easier for the Lamartmon to fight him off, but taking care of him quicker would be the best route.
Makiko on the other hand waited, watching the now KausGamamon and CaptainHookmon come to her side. "To use a magical item depends on the rules of that world... I do not know if this is based upon intent, or if you have to know what is needed to activate it... that would probably be better left to Kshin.." She then started looking over the shape of this artifact, with her Xros Loader next to it. She had not processed the text that had popped up, but knew she would later. She started looking it up and down, trying to figure out what was the best way to analyze it while the more magically inclined were not available.
Snatchmon would wait for the right moment, and when Mona struck, he would simultaneously strike from the back. His strikes might not be as strong as Lamartmon's, but he could still pile on, doing quick hit and run strikes, looking for opportunities to steal more of the Knight's power, for another reason...

"I'll help too. I think I have just the trick to get our opponent off balance." Kshin said as he flew towards Mona and AxeKnightmon before flying behind the axe wielding knight digimon before he said "All right AxeKnightmon. Try this on for size. Love Song!" Kshin took a deep breath before unleashing a hypnotic melody from his mouth aimed at AxeKnightmon. The hypnotic song hit AxeKnightmon causing the knight digimon to freeze unable to attack.
Meanwhile Grace looked at Makiko and said "I don't know if Kshin knows how to work that artifact. The only time I've seen him use magic was when he was in his armor champion form. Kshin doesn't normally fight with magic otherwise. Heck even I don't know what to do."
"I might be able to help ladies. I know a little bit about this magical artifact." CaptainHookmon said.
"Say Makiko maybe you should hand CaptainHookmon the artifact." Grace suggested while CaptainHookmon politely held out one hand waiting for Makiko to hand it to him.
While AxeKnightmon was unable to move Snatchmon struck the axe wielding digimon in the back while Mona pulled her hand into a fist before she swung catching their foe in the jaw causing AxeKnightmon to stumble backward.

The purple haired girl, hearing the request from CaptainHookmon, would pass forth the artifact to him. If anyone might know how to use it, it would be him. She could only reflect upon the nature of magical items in novels, and so far it seemed that this one would evade her for now. She would nod quietly to Grace, as it was the right thing to do. She was holding tightly to her Xros Loader, hoping that the egg was fully safe with in... She regretted not planning it better, and letting Grimm do his actions with out guidance there, if only because she should have realized he would have struck face first.
Matching his time to those of Mona and Kshin, Astram continued to strike from blind spots with his sword, knowing that there would be a moment to steal essence away soon, but also that the hindrance done initially would hit soon. He needed to prepare for it, as he wanted to get it back, for he had a good use for it. He wanted to apply it to his blade, and see what the code in his core was telling him was a potentially powerful move. The blade was powerful on its own, and that was fine, but it was potentially able to become so much stronger with the power it could utilize from the stolen essence... He just needed a good time to do so.
He had to make sure to stay out of range of that Axe and Spear in the meantime though, and he knew comparatively his damage output was less than the other two at the moment, just enough to possibly push up the pain, and maybe open up later opportunities for attacks, but nothing that will decisively kill this enemy yet. That is why he was hoping it would work if he could put his essence into the blade. The eyes on his wrist were full of want for the essence, and so he would prepare to strike again, looking for another opportunity off of Kshin and Mona. He felt that this fight needed to end sooner than later... if not for the three fighting, then maybe for Makiko's sake.

When Makiko passed the artifact to CaptainHookmon he said "Thank you miss. I will do the best I can." The good captain then gazed at the artifact before taking a deep breath and aimed it towards the trench the zombified Mushroommon were in. He then preceeded to chant in a language unknown to humans meaning it was likely the language itself was one that was an ancient language of the Digital World. As CaptainHookmon chanted the artifact began to softly glow before energy shot forth from the artifact itself flowing into the trench slowly but surely filling the trench. After a few moments voices came from the trench as it seemed the Mushroommon were back to themselves. Before Grace made a move to assist them it seemed the Mushroommon were assisting each other and little by little the rookie digimon climbed out of the trench. Then upon spotting AxeKnightmon the small digimon began fleeing from the area.
Grace then turned her attention to Makiko seeing the general clutching her Xros Loader. Then Grace reached over pulling Makiko into a gentle hug before the friendly KausGammamon said "I know how you feel, Makiko, but as long as Grimm's egg is safe he should be reborn in no time. All we have to do is look out for him for now."
Between the efforts of Kshin, Mona, and Astram AxeKnightmon tumbled to the ground unconscious. "It seems my Love Song had the desired effect of keeping AxeKnightmon from moving and it was long enough to bring this creep down. Thank goodness."
