Halloween Mayhem (Johan, Shi, LJ)

Post by ricochet7-LJ on Nov 21, 2022 13:36:21 GMT
LJ smiled as Pumpkinmon seemed to be a nice enough digimon if a little confused and said "As long as you didn't hurt anyone I would say there was no harm done. Everyone loses track of days sometimes." LJ watched as Pumpkinmon put the candy back in the bowl after learning that it was not the 31st.
As for Johan he explained that AEGIS kept order on Earth which was good seeing as not all digimon meant well when visiting the Human World. LJ then noticed that Johan seemed to be experiencing some kind of flashback and, to Johan, asked "Hey there, are you okay?"
Johan seemed to snap out of it and asked where he last saw the wizard-like digimon and LJ pointed back the way they came and said "I saw the wizard digimon back near a building back in the direction we came from climbing on the fire escape. He wasn't close enough for me to get a good look though."
Johan's digivice spoke up the digimon's voice informing them of the chaos happening and LJ said "Sounds like there is actual troublemakers wandering around and not just Pumpkinmon and his spider friend here." As for Shi, he brought up a good point that the wizard-like digimon could just be another trick or treater and LJ said "You have a point. Let's hope that wizard digimon isn't among one of the trouble makers. That would be trouble we don't need right now." LJ knew full well that wizard digimon had access to a variety of dangerous magic and not all of them were benevolent by nature.
Then Shi's mother threw her keys to Shi as if trying to help in her own way. She was right about handling things on foot being trickier what with all the digimon running rampant causing trouble. "Would her car fit all of us though?" LJ asked curiously.

As Johan, Shi, LJ, and the rest prepared to hop in the car and head out to find the DemiDevimon tricksters, Pumpmon would try to get Johan's attention by gently pulling on his pant leg. "I wanna come with you guys! My friends need to know that we got the date wrong!"
"Kew! Kew!" KoDokugumon chirped from Pumpkinmon's head. It may be impossible to understand exactly what the baby spider was trying to say, but his tone and body language should at least make it easy to get the general gist of it.
To be honest, Pumpkinmon wasn't really giving the group much of an actual choice, as he was gonna tag along whether they wanted him to or not, even if that meant "sneakily" hitching a ride on top of the trunk of the group's car. He needed to let his friends know that it wasn't actually Halloween yet, after all.
Meanwhile the DemiDevimons had just wrapped up their latest objective of covering an apartment building in TP, and were currently taking a short break by hanging upside down from a tree branch.
"Do you think that we've done enough for tonight, bro?" DemiDevimon #1 said, nudging his compatriot with his wing.
"Not sure," DemiDevimon #2 said, interrupting himself with a tired yawn. All the mischief they've done over the past couple of hours had been somewhat exhausting for the duo. "Let's go ask the Boss Lady when we finish our break."
"Sounds good." DemiDevimon # 1 accepted. "I'm just glad out current boss is actually nice enough to let us take breaks in the first place. Better than that crazy vampire dude."
"Yeah, that Vlad guy was nuts." Demi #2 agreed.
"You!" a familiar voice called out from a distance, causing the two demonic bats to jolt in a mix of surprise and panic. "You two have some explaining to do!"
"Ah, crap. It's Boss Lady's brother!" Demi #2 squeaked out in panic. "What do we do?"
"Maybe if we ignore him, he'll go away?" Demi # 1 suggested, earning him an amused look from his fellow bat. "What?"
"Oh, no. Don't even THINK of pretending you can't hear-" Damien angrily said as he crossed the road while heading towards the two DemiDevimons. However, he would find himself interrupted as he, as a direct result of not looking before crossing the street, ended up being hit by a passing car. This caused the Sorcerimon to end up rolling over the top of the car before painfully landing back on the road in a crumpled heap. "Ow."
"See? I told you it'd sort itself out!" Demi #1 smugly said while Demi #2 just stared at the whole thing in pure shock.

"I look forward to seeing what the two of you can do," Johan said to Daichi with a smirk. He didn't see any Digimon accompanying them, but he figured that they had to be Chosen in some shape or form, perhaps as Spirit Users. It was then that he figured Shi and Daichi didn't know what he meant when he referred to Digimon as "bandits." Ah well, he'll explain it later if they ask.
When asked about said wizard Digimon, LJ responded that he saw this Digimon climbing on a fire escape back where they came from. Johan couldn't help but brush his hand through his hair. "Pumpmon, Demidevimons, now a wizard Digimon... this whole thing is getting bigger than I thought..." He turned to Shi when he offered to drive the group to the apartment. "Yeah, that's a great idea. Maybe we'll run into our wizard suspect on the way."
Hah, funny choice of words there, Johan...
As they were heading to Shi's car, Johan felt a tug on the back of his pant leg. He turned around to see Pumpmon and the KoDokugumons asking to come along with them, wanting to let their friends know what was going on. "I've got no objections to it. If anything, you guys being there will help us convince the others, I believe." And so with that, the group would head into Shi's car and drive to the apartment, with Johan guiding the whole way.
It didn't take long to get there, as it was relatively close by. The car must've been big enough to fit them all, or at least Pumpmon and his KoDokugumon friends would be sitting on the top of the car. It was dark outside and Johan was still feeling a bit groggy, so his senses were not at their greatest at the moment. That's why he didn't see the Sorcerimon in the middle of the road until it was too late.
"Alright, we should be nearby the apartment now. Let's get out and take a look arou- HOLY SHIT, LOOK OUT!"
He had simply looked up from his phone's GPS to see a white-robed wizard-like figure standing right in front of them. His eyes widened as he suddenly grabbed onto the wheel in an attempt to try and steer around the figure. Aside from a bit of swerving, the maneuver did nothing in the long run as the car still ran right over the wizard Digimon. More memories flashed back in Johan's mind as he tried to process what had happened: "I hate you! You're the worst brother ever!"
"You're the worst SISTER ever! You've been nothing but trouble for me! I wish you would just go away!"
"Ruby, wait, get out of the street! RUBY-!"
Johan shook his head before getting out of the car, running over to the Sorcerimon who was definitely in a lot of pain right this moment. This must've been the wizard-like Digimon that LJ mentioned seeing before. "Shit..." He then pulled out his Digivice. "Dokamon! Zero! Realize!"
A bright light came from the Digivice's screen, forming itself into two separate Digimon: a blue robotic Digimon with metal hands and feet, green eyes and a black T-shirt, and a draconian Digimon with a blue cloak and one visible red eye. Both of them looked over at the injured Sorcerimon and had the same feeling as Johan did. "Johan, when you said you wanted to run into the wizard earlier-" Zero began before Dokamon stepped in and interrupted with:
"It is wise to not finish that sentence."
Zero rolled his eyes. "Whatever, robot. So what are we gonna do now?"

"Same to ya." Daichi replied offering Johan a fist bump, if he accepted the bump or not was crucial in their mutual understanding of each other and their ways of life. A truly critical moment in time. Though Johan totally didn't know that so if he didn't accept Dachi would understand, the writer however wouldn't ever forgive him.
"Well, I have a family of six and there is four of us so I imagine we'll fit pretty well." Shi told LJ figuring that was a good enough explanation for the whole driving thing to work well. Though the Pumpmon decided to ask Johan if he could come along as well.... Despite the fact it was Shi driving so might've been better to check with him if he even could? "Yeah should be fine, it'll be a bit of a squeeze in the back but you're pretty small so it should be fine."
"Don't forget Shi you're going to be taking Mirai trick or treating tomorrow so, make sure to stay safe, ok?" his mom requested moving a bit closer and patting him on the shoulder. "I swear this digimon stuff happens way too often, If any other trick or treaters come around, I'll make sure to tell them what's going on." It wasn't much but it was something at least.
With that they would head into his mom's car and head off towards the apartments, Shi was going decently fast all things considered, though he seemed pretty confident in his driving skills. At least he did until all of the sudden some white robed thing walked out in front of the car without even bothering to look both ways before crossing, Shi tried to pull the car into a hard left to get out of the way. However Johan seemed to have other ideas as he grabbed the wheel and pulled in the opposite way causing the car to instead just kinda keep forward and fit the narrative of the Sorcerimon just bouncing off the hood of his car.
Shi quickly stopped the car and parked it closeby as Johan got out first, followed by Daichi who went to check on the digimon as well. Shi on the other hand checked his car instead for a moment, yup that was a decently sized Wizard shaped dent in his mother's car. "Welp, that makes three digimon I've beaten without Yuudai or Yasuo's help." Shi silently joked to himself as he went on over to check on the digimon.
"So, might be new to the human world and all but uhh. Please look both ways before you cross the street. Hey Shi help me out." Daichi asked as he grabbed one side of the wizard digimon, Shi grabbed the other and the two attempted to pull him up to at least a standing position. Provided he still could.
"Sorry about that, you ok?" Oh right there was also some DemiDevimon that probably needed addressing as well. "You all part of the early Halloween brigade?" Shi decided to ask aloud.

LJ looked over at Pumpmon and KoDokugumon when the ultimate digimon said he wanted to come with them and LJ said "Maybe with you two helping we can convince all the others that this is the wrong night. Hopefully we can settle things down with no problems caused."
LJ followed the others to Shi's car and got into the back before buckling up. This car was definitely bigger than his parents' car. It seemed Johan agreed with LJ regarding Pumpmon and KoDokugumon being able to help as well so that possibly made things easier. Shi was driving the car and things seemed to be going well enough. That was until a robed figure walked into the street without looking both ways that is. After Johan shouted he grabbed the steering wheel despite the fact that Shi was the one driving. LJ clutched the seat in panic as the car swerved hitting the Sorcerimon.
Johan wasn't the only one who climbed out of the car as everyone else came out too including LJ. Johan brought two digimon out of his digivice as well. One was a Dokamon and the other was a Hackmon named Zero. Zero's words made the disguised Leomon X facepalm as LJ couldn't believe that Zero would say something like that. He said nothing though figuring Johan and Dokamon could handle that. Shi's joke didn't help either causing LJ to roll his eyes as he approached the Socerimon.
When Daichi tried to move the Sorcerimon LJ said "He could be hurt badly so maybe you shouldn't move him like that." LJ then knelt down and said "It is a shame I didn't inherit any healing magic from dad. I only magically create handheld weapons or even levitate."

For a few minutes after being hit by the group's car, the Sorcerimon's world consisted of a significant amount of pain as he lay on the ground, trying to regain his wits. By the time Daichi and Shi moved to help him to his feet, the ice wizard was at least coherent enough to stay on said feet. "Thank you for the assistance. You don't have to worry about me too much, though. Some of my sister's backfiring experiments have done much worse than this in the past."
Even as he spoke, Damien used his free hand that wasn't holding his staff to draw a handful of golden runes in the air, which enveloped his body in their glow as his injuries began to heal. Damien sighed as his magic did its work, even doing some stretching afterward in order to show the group that he was okay. "There we go. Situations like this are exactly why chose to learn healing magic in the first place."
One look at the dent he left in the car did cause Damien to wince at the sight, though. "Fixing cars, however, is sadly beyond my power. Sorry."
It was at that point that Damien remembered what he was doing before he got hit, causing him to whip his head around and glare at the two DemiDevimons in the tree. "Don't think I forgot about you two, though. What has my sister doing, letting you two run rampant like rambunctious gremlins?"
"Um... " Demi #1 uttered, unable to string together a response that wouldn't anger the Sorcerimon, before nudging his comrade with his wing. "Scatter!"
The two DemiDevimons immediately took to the air in an attempt to make a run for it, although Damien wasn't letting them get away so easily this time. The Sorcerimon grabbed a small rock and chucked it at one of the DemiDevimons, hitting him dead on and causing the demonic bat to crash to the ground, completely out cold.
The other DemiDevimon briefly look at his fallen comrade, briefly considered trying to help him, and ultimately decided to save his own skin by flying off. "I'll always remember your sacrifiiiiiice!" Sorcerimon: -Healing Inscription: Sorcerimon draws runes in the air to heal a single target, be it an ally or himself. 3 post CD. (0/3)

Johan looked back between Daichi's eyes and his fist, unsure of what exactly he was expected to do here. Wh... oh, it was one of those fist-bump things, right. Well, Johan wasn't particularly confident about doing that quite yet, so he made a pretty major mistake: he simply nodded towards Daichi... and left him hanging there. In Johan's mind, it wasn't that big of a deal, but Johan was the type to be a bit socially inept at times. You know, computer geek and all.
Since Shi's car was able to hold at least six, it would be a little bit of a squeeze to fit Pumpmon and the KoDokugumons into it, but it was at least do-able. LJ seemed to agree on the part about them helping to convince the others of their mistake, so it was settled: Pumpmon and the KoDokugumons had joined the party with their consent.
Of course, what do you get when you put seven idiots in a car together? Well, you get two people fighting over the steering wheel, both trying to get out the way of a wizard Digimon that appeared on the road in front of them until they inevitably run said wizard over, leaving a massive dent in Shi's car. Whoops. The entire situation could be described as simply as "a disaster." At least Shi and Daichi were ready and willing to help the wizard Digimon to his feet. He didn't seem too hurt, especially after he revealed that he had healing magic, but the part about his sister's experiments rubbed Johan the wrong way.
In terms of the car, however, it seemed that the wizard Digimon had no answer for fixing this. "I'm not exactly that well versed in cars either, I'm afraid," Johan said, scratching his head a bit. "My partner Dokamon, Zero, and I are more accustomed to technology."
Then it seemed that the wizard remembered what he was doing beforehand, as he glared up to a tree towards two Demidevimons, of which Johan didn't even notice were there to begin with. All was silent for a few moments until the DemiDevimons decided to make a break for it. Unfortunately for one of them, the Sorcerimon had grabbed a nearby rock and chucked it at them, hitting them perfectly and causing them to become unconscious while the other flew away. "Impressive," Dokamon said with a slight smile.
"Too bad ya killed him, though," Zero commented, walking up to the Demidevimon and poking them a bit. "No wait, false alarm, he's still alive."
"Hm... Sorcerimon. What is the likelihood of you - or anyone else here, for that matter - to be carrying smelling salts at this very moment?"

Welp, He denied the bump. That meant that now they were dead to Daichi, there was no way around it that was the only ending between these two and the council of Daichi. Well that was what the writer was saying, what actually happened was a maneuver that made it seem like Daichi was used to nerds who didn't do the bump. Instead, he quickly switched it to a fist bump in the air by himself. "Leaving me hanging man? Heh kidding, kiddin. I'll keep that in mind." With that he quickly threw his hand through his hair like he was keeping it styled and returned to his normal position.
Meanwhile in the future Daichi and Shi had just helped the Wizard of Halloween, or at least that's what Shi was calling him until his name was confirmed to them in timeline, which seemed to get LJ to tell them to be careful. "You kidding? These digimon are made of way tougher stuff then that right? Doubt he could be hurt too badly." Daichi has thrown hands with at least three digimon so he knows what he's talking about
"My partner Yuudai throws himself in front of cars for 'fun' say's it's to test his limits." Though considering how Shi said that the only limit his partner was most likely testing was Shi's patience. "Also don't worry, I'm sure my mom will understand. I have told her how dangerous these things are." Once Shi and Daichi got the Wizard of Halloween on his feet they backed off as Shi threw his hands in his jacket pocket. "If she asks, the fate of the world hanged in the balance of me running you over." With his cold tone and stone face, was he joking or was he serious? the world may never know!
Oh, right Bats were getting away. Following the Wizard of Halloween's throw Daichi grabbed another rock and aimed to bean the other one in the back of the head while they were flying up, if he missed or not was up to another person but regardless of his LEET ability to throw rocks that he might or not might have Daichi turned back to see the one that was already on the ground. "Oh, hey Shi you still got that cube thingy? Grab my water." Daichi called out.
Shi nodded before pulling the infinite storage cube out of his pocket, reaching in and pulling some long as heck water bottle before tossing it over to Daichi, who managed to catch it despite Shi throwing like a retired grandma who only had control of her feet. "We can dump this on em, water usually wakes em up. We do it in practice when some guys thing sleeping in the shade is a smart idea." Water, the ultimate weapon!

LJ glanced over at Damien before the disguised Leomon X said "I know how it feels to be lost regarding fixing cars. I'm in the same boat. If my dads were here one of them could possibly get the car running again. I'm better at karate and magic."
As the DemiDevimon tried to scatter Damien knocked one of them out of the air with a well aimed rock. Digging into his bag LJ pulled out a grapple gun and took aim as he said "Not so fast you little pest!" LJ then fired the grapple gun in an effort to snag the little bat out of the air. Would he be successful though?
Apparently Johan, Dokamon, and Zero weren't adept at fixing cars either. As for Zero he discovered the knocked down DemiDevimon was still alive. While Dokamon asked if anyone had smelling salts. LJ scratched the back of his head before he said "Sorry man I don't have any."
Seemed Daichi had the solution to the unconscious digimon problem as he suggested Shi grab some water which Shi did. That was a brilliant idea and should wake DemiDevimon up and LJ said "We should be ready to grab him incase he makes a break for it."
OOC: LJ uses his Grapple Gun to attempt to snag the other DemiDevimon.

Well, the grappling hook trick would work as planned, the hook wrapping itself around the fleeing DemiDevimon's foot. The demonic bat was not happy about this, though, as he tried chewing his way through the line.
"Leh go o' me!" the DemiDevimon growled out as he chewed, although the line was sturdy enough that he wasn't making any progress.
Meanwhile, splashing water on the unconscious DemiDevimon would prove effective as well, as the little guy slowly came back to the world of the living (albeit with a noticeable bump on his head). He was still a bit groggy though, on account of the blunt-force head trauma. "Did anyone get the license plate on that car that hit me?"
Damien was running out of patience, however, as he scooped up the woozy DemiDevimon and held him in front of his face. "I do believe that this is the part where you tell us why my sister has let you two off the leash to cause havoc. Or else we'll have to re-negotiate your employment contracts."
"Okay, okay! We'll talk! Just don't mess with our benefits!" the DemiDevimon caught in Damien's grip exclaimed, snapping to full attention once the employment contract was brought up. "The Boss Lady wanted to spread the Halloween spirit of 'trick or treat' or something, so she sent the pumpkin kid to gather candy and told us to go play some tricks on people! There, I talked! Don't take away our vacation days or cut our pay, I'm begging you!"
"Coward!" The other DemiDevimon cried out as he kept trying to free himself from the line around his leg.
"And what about Lilith? What's she doing while you're causing trouble? Damien pressed on, eyes narrowing at the bat Digimon.
"She mentioned something about Samhain, but it went over my head. I swear, that's all I know." The DemiDevimon in his grip begged, sweating profusely as he spilled his metaphorical guts.
"Samhain?" Damien asked, utterly confused about what that was supposed to mean. Sorcerimon: -Healing Inscription: 1/3

"Sorry, mate, I'm just not a fist-bumping kind of person," Johan said after Daichi pointed out how he was left hanging. The young man preferred waving, bowing, or handshakes when greeting someone, and he saw bumping fists as too much of a "dude bro" move, as others would likely put it. Besides, Daichi at least had himself to fist bump, and they had a job to focus on anyways.
"Don't take it personally; Johan and Dokamon here are both lacking in the personality department," Zero jested as he patted the side of Daichi's leg. This earned the AppHackmon a death glare from both the human and Digimon in question... he was just lucky Dokamon had enough self restraint to not punch Zero.
Well, now they had to focus on the wizard that they totally just ran into with the car. LJ was telling them to be careful with moving him, but Daichi and Shi brought up how tough Digimon could be, with the latter even talking about how his partner Yuudai threw himself into traffic for fun. "That sounds far too dangerous, I highly recommend that he not do such things," Dokamon said in his usual monotone tone of voice.
Meanwhile, LJ seemed disappointed that neither of his dads were here to fix the car. Johan had the feeling that LJ brought up his dads a bit too much when it came to certain things. Oh well, at least Shi said his mother would understand. Johan wished he could say the same if the roles were reversed.
As the DemiDevimons were getting away, LJ managed to use his grappling hook to grapple onto the escaping one, while Daichi also got the other unconscious one to wake up by dumping a bottle of water on him. Now they had two suspects to interrogate. "Wonderful work, both of you," Johan said approvingly to both Daichi and LJ. "Now, let us see if we can't get these two to talk."
Well, the wizard's threats worked a little too well, as one of the DemiDevimons was now very eager to spill the beans. Apparently, these two worked for the wizard's sister, who wanted to spread the Halloween spirit by letting her employees lose in Shibuya. "If she weren't a day early, there'd definitely be plenty of spirit to go around."
And what was "Lilith" doing all this time? Well, the DemiDevimons didn't know that, unfortunately. She only seemed to mention something about "Samhain." "Samhain? I slightly recall seeing that name while I researched Halloween festivities," Dokamon had mentioned.
"I ain't ever heard of that, what the heck is Samhain?"
"Samhain is the predecessor to Halloween," Johan explained, beginning to go into nerd mode. "Named after the Celtic God of Darkness. Celebrated from the thirty-first of October to the first of November, to celebrate the end of summer, the end of the harvest season, and to usher in the darker half of the year. Those who celebrate it believe that the barrier between the physical world and the spirit world breaks down during the festival, allowing more interaction between humans and what can only be described as the denizens of the Otherworld. Given that Digimon are responsible for countless urban legends, I can only assume that this Lilith heard about this tale, and is going to attempt to completely blow a hole in the barrier itself."
"...are you positive that this is what Lilith intends?"
"I can't be sure... she's supposedly this Sorcerimon's sister, so only he can dictate whether or not this would be something she'd do. Regardless, it's in our best interest that we find her and stop her from doing what she's planning."

"Like I said, just kidding. No worries ain't like I'm gonna force you or something." Daichi replied with a shrug and a small laugh, seems he was still pretty upbeat despite the situation at hand. Though the App-Hackmon that patted his leg gave some insight as to why they ignored the bumping of the fist Daichi seemed to quickly wave that answer off. "Eh I'm sure they've got plenty of personality, just ain't the same type as mine. Which I'm finding seems to be the same across the board with most of the tamers I've met so far." Daichi said with a small smile as he glanced over at Shi, who in return flipped him off. "Everyone's a critic."
Meanwhile to the brilliant suggestion that throwing yourself in front of a moving car might not be the safest thing Yuudai could do Shi had the perfect response already in mind. "If he was around I'd encourage you to tell him that, either that or you could tell it to that wall over there. The result would end up most likely being the same." changing Yuudai's mind wasn't something that happened naturally, or ever at all really. Though his voice was also pretty much monotone as well so it was hard to tell if he was being sarcastic or not.
"Wait, stuff like this is a job for you guys?" Running around causing a fuss in a city AND getting paid for it. "Guess that tracks, even if you're a day late not like you'd care so long as you get what you're owed." One digimon making the mistake he could buy, the others didn't seem to really care to check either. "Any chance you have a way to get in contact with her, some sort of message system. Bat Signal?" Surely she didn't just let them loose in the city without a way to even get a hold of her right?
Meanwhile Samhain was being mentioned, Shi was going to explain what it was or anything about it but ultimately Johan did it first so Shi decided to not bother. Though he did add one part. "Though any spell she tries won't work, a lot of that stuff is really keen on having it be done on the actual day itself. Even with actual magic so long as the spell's conditions aren't met nothing will happen." Least that's what his magic friends have told him, Yuki seemed to know her stuff though so he was inclined to believe her.
"So maybe she's going to punch a hole into another world instead on accident." Daichi added, eyes narrowed a bit as he realized something bad. "Wait if that's what she's actually going to do she might hit a hole to that digital world place!" Sure the spell won't let her get to the afterlife but, if done correctly maybe it'd hit the next closest world...
"Is your sister strong enough, also crazy enough, to do something like that?" If she was then, jeez what the hell did they walk into!

Success both the little devils were grabbed while the snagged DemiDevimon tried to chew free LJ made his way over and the disguised Leomon X reached over attempting to securely grab ahold of the struggling demon bat by his wings. "I'd stop chewing on that if I were you. The grapple gun has strong rope that wouldn't be good on a rookie's teeth." LJ said. As for the other DemiDevimon water was splashed on him. The Sorcerimon named Damien interrogated the little guy threatening something about employment contracts. To be fair it did the trick as that DemiDevimon first admitting that his boss wanted to spread the spirit of Halloween. "One problem bat boy. This isn't Halloween. You're a day off." LJ said as he walked up to the other DemiDevimon. When the other DemiDevimon called his companion a coward LJ shook that one and growled "It's best you keep your trap shut."
Damien wasn't the only one confused by the term Samhain as LJ was just as confused. Heck LJ wouldn't of been surprised if he wasn't the only other confused person. Fortunately it seemed Johan and Dokamon knew what they were up against. Samhain seemed to be an early predecessor to Halloween to celebrate the end of the harvest season. That sounded harmless enough until mentions of a barrier that breaks down during the festival meaning Lillith probably planned to blow a hole in said barrier. "That sounds bad. Who knows what problems that could cause?" LJ said sounding worried.
When Shi mentioned the spell not likely working LJ looked at him before he said "That's not necessarily how magic works. Sure for a spell to work perfectly everything needs to be just right but if things are wrong it might do either nothing or potentially cause undue harm. Magic can be unpredictable that way." Sure as magical digimon went LJ was young but he listened to what his ancient grandfather had told him about magic.
"I hope she isn't strong enough cause I know I don't have the experience to disrupt such a spell since I am too young." LJ said now hoping they would be able to stop her in time. "Perhaps we should get moving so we can have a chance to stop her."

"Hey, it's not our problem if we got the wrong date. If the Boss Lady says to mess with people, why would we question that? This is the most fun we've had in weeks!" The DemiDevimon caught on LJ's line said, his comrade nodding in agreement.
Meanwhile, Johan's explanation about Samhain being a predecessor to Halloween where it was believed that the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead was at its weakest (as well as the implication that his sister might be planning to punch a whole between worlds) left Damien stunned, the Sorcerimon dropping the DemiDevimon in his grasp as he tightly gripped his staff to keep his balance. He was so out of it from the revelation that he almost missed Shi asking him if Lilith was capable of pulling off something like this
"S-small, one-off portals that act like doorways? Yes, Lilith is quite skilled at those. That's how we came to this world in the first place, in fact. But s-something on this scale? She might be reckless with her magical experiments, but this is unheard of even for her!" Damien struggled to say, his voice quiet from shock.
"Is Miss Lilith gonna be in trouble?" Pumpkinmon asked in a concerned tone.
"I don't know, Pump. But I fear that she's probably getting herself in way over her head." Damien replied, reaching out to rub the little Ultimate's head to try and soothe the Pumpkinmon's worries.
As the group was interrogating the DemiDevimons, Lilith was keeping busy as she stood atop the roof of the highest building in Shibuya. The Witchmon was in a manic mood as she eagerly began tracing out a massive magic circle all across the roof with chalk. As she drew, she paid little mind to the fact that her own shadow opened a pair of red eyes and started to move on its own, reaching out an arm to point at a specific sigil on the magic circle.
"You appear to have gotten this specific rune mixed up. It's supposed to be 'Ehwaz', not Eiwhaz'." The shadow pointed out, its voice little more than a scratchy whisper.
"Oh, whoops. That wouldn't have been good." Lilith replied as she hastily wiped away the erroneous symbol and wrote the correct one in its place. "There we go! Oh, this is gonna be the best Halloween ever! Especially with real spooks!"
"Oh, believe me. Tonight will be utterly... unforgettable." Her shadow added. "After all, if you can't trust your own shadow, then what can you trust?" Sorcerimon: -Healing Inscription: 2/3

"Clearly you haven't been living with those two," Zero sarcastically said to Daichi, earning more glares from Johan and Dokamon, a surefire sign that he better shut the eff up. He smirked at the way Shi was just casually flipping off Daichi, however. Heh, now that's a human I could probably get behind.
On the subject of Yuudai's reckless habit, Shi explained pretty clearly that his partner was not the type to listen to others. It was a bit hard to tell if he was sarcastic or not due to his monotone voice, but Dokamon seemed to understand what Shi was saying pretty well. "Regardless, that is still utterly reckless behavior that should not be allowed to continue," Dokamon said in his own monotone, robotic voice. "Not just for his sake, but to prevent any potential fatal car crashes."
The DemiDevimons themselves didn't seem to care one bit that they got the wrong date, since they were just there to mess with people. The fact that they said pulling all these bad pranks on people was the most fun they'd had in weeks didn't sit right with Johan, being the uptight rule-loving nerd that he was. But that didn't seem to be the issue here. After Johan explained what Samhain was, Shi added that a lot of the spells were dependent on the date being correct. "Yes, that's correct," Johan stated. "If this were a human trying it, then I doubt any actual magic would happen even if it were the right date."
LJ then spoke up, stating that if something went wrong with a spell, the effect ranges from nothing happening to things blowing up. "See, this is why magic is stupid and hard to understand. At least data and code is predictable, and makes sense to understand."
"I unfortunately agree with Zero's opinions on magic..."
"Yeah, so do I."
Daichi suggested that this spell could wind up punching a hole right through the barrier between the real world and the Digital World, the prospect of which clearly scaring the Sorcerimon to no end. And if Johan was being honest, the thought of such an event scared him as well. "We're out of our league here," he admitted in a quiet voice. "My partner and I -- AEGIS as a whole -- we don't necessarily deal with magic..."
"But we do, however, deal with Digimon that intend to cause chaos to this world," Dokamon reminded him. "There are little to no differences with this case."
"Then in that case, I'll check the tracker to see if there are any uniquely powerful digital signatures," Zero said as he pulled out his laptop, connecting his own personal wires into it to get faster results.
"We have a friend that deals regularly with magic, Weston Sparkwood," Johan said as he pulled out his phone and started dialing a number. "No clue if he's awake yet, but he should at least be able to give us some advice on what we're dealing with and what to expect."
