"What no, been living with them my whole life. Just in different houses and areas completely opposed from one another." The sarcasm was definitely obvious even to the most oblivious observer, but ultimately Daichi had a smile on his face so it ultimately seemed more in jest then any actual attempt to be rude.
"Oh don't worry, he makes sure that the only car he jumps in front of is mine." That did not make it better in the slightest and Shi knew that full well, NOW he was joking but still within that same tone of voice. "Sides, considering how effective he is I can afford to let him be a bit reckless at times." Even if that usually just meant Shi was having a less optimal time, eh it's whatever. Though to LJ Shi had a response ready. "Digital magic yeah, but if this is targeted at our world I assume it'd be bound to the same laws. Even if we don't have magic ourselves those rumors had to come from somewhere." It was all one complicated wibbly wobbly magic mess that Shi didn't want to be a part of for too long.
But ultimately if Daichi was right they were dealing with a more digital spell, which would be annoying considering how magic worked around that world. "Unheard of but not impossible, man she must really care about Halloween if it sets her off this badly." Well that was annoying to hafta deal with.
"Even if it's out of our League we still gotta try and stop it no matter what. Me 'n Shi have a friend who's super keen on magical stuff. She even gave us some weird sigil to summon her during emergencies!" And this was one such emergency! Magical too in nature.
Shi heard that and walked over towards his mom's car, pulling something out of his infinite storage cube, it seemed like a flat sheet of Digital metal. Placing it on the top of his car Shi tossed his digivice on top of it as well while activating the digi-port function. "Alright, lets see if it works..." This was the first time he was using it after all, once the device got warmed up Shi's digivice seemed to change color, going from its usual color scheme to a light blue tone as the sigil lit up shining on top of the car for a moment as something seemed to emerge out of the digi-port.
"Swallow, so that's me. Non-Stop Love soooong!" What appeared was quite the sight, it was an SnowAgumon X who was sitting on top of the car, singing into what appeared to be a brush as she danced around with her eyes closed before opening them slightly, seeing the entire group of people she didn't know.
Eyes wide she dropped the Brush-Mike on the ground, bouncing against the car for a moment before she hopped off, proceeded to lie down next to the car out of eyesight and try and perish out of embarrassment.
"Uhh, that's Yuki. She's uhh, a bit shy just give her a moment." Shi said giving a small wave off to everyone before walking over and trying to help the SnowAgumon stop feeling like she wanted to die.

LJ glared at the DemiDevimon on the line before letting out an exasperated sounding sigh. Then after taking a few deep breaths he was able to resist deactivating his disguise since the temptation to punt the little pest was getting stronger. He knew loosing his cool was the last thing anyone needed at this time.
So Lilith had the capability to create such doorways as was explained by Damien when the Sorcerimon recovered enough to speak. LJ wasn't remotely concerned about the other DemiDevimon that Damien had dropped as there were more important things to worry about. LJ walked up to Damien and asked "Wouldn't such a portal require certain symbols being drawn as one of the necessary components, Damien was it? Look as one whose magic is channeled for the purpose for combat these kind of spells are out of my depth." Pumpkinmon asked if Lilith was gonna be in trouble and LJ said "If we get to her before any harm is done maybe we can convince her to apologize for all the trouble."
LJ glanced at Dokamon and said "Magic isn't always hard to understand. It only becomes unpredictable usually if things are handled wrong but I get how you and Zero would not feel comfortable with something you don't understand." However when Weston Sparkwood was mentioned LJ's perked up and said "Hey I met a Weston Sparkwood once when I was having issues controlling my magic. That is if this is the same Weston who happened to be a Wisemon when I met him. Maybe he can help us in some way."
Apparently Daichi and Shi had someone that might be able to help as well which Shi demonstrated as he walked over to his mom's car placing a flat sheet of metal before using it and his digivice to summon an SnowAgumon X that was singing into what appeared to be a brush from some kind of digi port. However she seemed shy and was now looking at the ground. LJ moved towards her Brush-Mike slowly trying to come off as non threatening as possible as he picked it up before holding it out to her and said "Here ma'am. You dropped this."

"For a portal of this caliber? Yes, it would require quite a bit of set up, including drawing a ritual circle to channel that much magic at once." Damien answered in response to LJ's question about the gate Lilith was likely to try an open. "Honestly, this portal would be an incredibly dangerous thing to attempt even IF everything was done perfectly. Even the fact that she's a day off could lead to catastrophic effects. I don't know why she'd try something this big. She may be reckless, but not THIS reckless!"
"I don't know, the Boss Lady doesn't seem like she's got all her screws in place lately, if you know what I mean." The DemiDevimon hanging from Damien's grip stated. "Especially since she started talking to her own shadow whenever she thought nobody was looking."
"Yeah, a lot of folks tend to forget we exist.:" the other DemiDevimon agreed. "That's life for a mere familiar, I guess."
That statement immediately made Damien freeze before shaking the DemiDevimon in his hand. "She WHAT?! Why are you only mentioning this now?!"
"You never asked, I guess?" The DemiDevimon answered with a shrug after he recovered from being shaken, which caused Damien to facepalm with his free hand.
Meanwhile, Lilith had finished drawing her pentagram-containing magic circle and used her fire magic to light a red candle at each of the pentagram's points. The moment the final candle was lit, the magic circle lit up, the candle flames turning pitch-black as the magic circle sent a pillar of light into the sky. From the pillar, a large storm cloud slowly started forming as the portal-summoning ritual began.
It would take time for the cloud cover to build up enough to open the portal, but Lilith's part in the ritual was finished. Now she simply had to stand by and wait while she and her 'shadow' watched on with excitement.
Seeing the pillar of light shining into the night sky, Damien's core seemed to drop into his stomach. "Oh, no."
Time to portal opening: 5 turns.

"Shi has a point," Johan said in response to Shi's statement about human world magic rumors playing by the same rules as digital magic. "Most if not all of our world's biggest myths and legends likely came from the Digital World. The legend of Samhain and all of its related rituals surely must be the same. But there's nothing about what happens when the ritual is performed a day off."
According to Damien, a spell of this caliber did involve creating a giant ritual spell circle in order to channel that much magic energy at once. The ritual itself was severely reckless, and since it wasn't quite Halloween yet, the spell could backfire in a tremendous way. Johan, Dokamon, and Zero were just as confused as Damien was on why his sister would perform such a dangerous spell.
Johan didn't get to finish dialing Weston's number when one of the DemiDevimon's mentioned something about Lilith talking to her own shadow. Both Johan and Dokamon looked at the two DemiDevimons with stunned expressions. She's... been talking to her own shadow? Even in the Digital World, that was not a normal thing to do, and Damien confirmed that this wasn't a normal thing for Lilith, either.
"A Digimon of some kind must be manipulating her," Dokamon suggested.
"But what kind of Digimon can hide in shadows like-"
And then as if it had the impact of a semi truck, it all hit both Johan and Dokamon at once. Both their eyes widened as the memories came flooding in, the horrible voice feeling like it was being whispered into their ears once more.
"Poor, poor thing. Trapped and tied to a single place, don't you? Why must shadow be tied to an object? Why isn't an object tied to the shadow? ....What happened if the shadow don't exist I wonder..."
"The five of you need to get all the students out of here now!"; "We tried fighting it but it's so powerful... it did something to this kid by the cafeteria, and it did the same thing to Dokamon, they're both unconscious and I don't know what happened! It was like this thing took their..."
"...What about you? Would you like... to release your shadow from its coil too...?"
"Oh... oh my god... n- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!"
"AAAAUGH!" "AAAAUGH!"
With horrified expressions on their faces, Johan and Dokamon had both lost all feeling in their legs and fell to the floor, the two of them breathing heavily and giving Zero quite a fright.
"Johan! Dokamon!" Zero cried out, showing a surprising amount of worry for the two of them.
"It... it cannot be...!" Dokamon said, gasping in between breaths.
"I... think it is..." Johan said, also gasping. He looked straight at the group, Damien in particular. "It's a Shademon! A Shademon's the one manipulating your sister!"
"A Shademon? How can you be so sure about that?"
"What other bloody Digimon do you know that can control shadows?!"
"I... well... shit, shit shit shit!"
And it was at that moment that the beam had shot up into the sky, the clouds swirling around where the beam pierced through. It was clear that this was intended to be a portal. The ritual had begun. While Zero also felt uneasy, the amount of fear that Johan and Dokamon were both feeling was indescribable.
"Johan..."
"I know... we can't run away from this now." As Johan said this, both he and his partner had both managed to pick themselves back up, though their legs still felt weak.
"Johan, are you sure about this? If you're right, and this is a Shademon we're dealing with, there's no telling how you'll be able to take it! The Aberrant incident was a traumatic experience for everyone, but you and Dokamon got the worst of it-"
"I don't care, Zero. Traumatic or not, this is still a job we have to do. If we turn and run now, we have no right to call ourselves AEGIS agents. Come on, we need to stop that portal before it opens."
"Alright, if you're sure about this. AppHackmon Evolution! Raidramon!"
The dark hooded dragon began to glow and morph his shape until he was a much bigger dark dragon with wings. As Johan and Dokamon hopped onto his back, he said, "If none of y'all have a way to fly, hop on my back, now!"
And as soon as Zero had all of his passengers on board, he'd flap his wings and fly straight to the tallest building in Shibuya, where the other end of the portal ritual lay...

Yuki grabbed the brush that was offered to her and held it close as she continued to pretend that she was actually not here right now and still in her room, however the conversation talking about magic did peak her interest as she held her head up and mentioned something. "Magic is pretty much a higher based programing code language, hence why digimon can do it and not humans, so while developed it must follow a similar patten and flow directly related to the related coding. So ultimately like he said the cost will backfire. The reason there isn't any information on what happens is because ultimately human's can't understand the code that develops magic, nor manipulate it." Yuki got up fully and glanced over at Shi and Daichi. "Is that why you two summoned me? Someone's trying to open a portal?" She asked standing up fully adjusting her scarf so the courage symbol showed out the front.
"Yup, as much as I hate to admit it magic is still a bit lost on me, even after your explanations." It was as she said, human's just couldn't understand that programing. But to a digimon, naturally gifted or not, it'd simply just come naturally.
"Think you can stop it? As much as I'd love some more visitors from our lesser-known world, I'd much rather they take the train then the skyway." She was their only lifeline with stuff like this, magic wasn't Shi's forte after all.
"I mean, I'd have to see the actual spell before I can really say for certain but, if it's a ritual then I should be able to so long as I'm given enough time to write an inverse symbol, right magic uhh. Basically, I just draw the ritual sigil in reverse around the portal and instead of coming to this world it'll send anything shoved in it out of this world, back to the digital world." she didn't seem too certain that it'd work but it was the best chance that they had.
Meanwhile Johan and Dokamon, to the rest of the group at least. Had decided to randomly start screaming, which got Yuki to join. "Ahhhh!!!" Jumping back the skittish SnowAgumon recoiled throwing her brush into the air as it circled aroud and fell back down on top of her head. "Oww, D-don't just start screaming like that." And that confidence while she was talking about her craft was gone, back to being worried.
Meanwhile Daichi, while Johan was talking about not backing down from this patted the nerd on the back of the shoulder with a smile pointing his thumb at himself. "That's the spirit man, I got your back. Dunno what this Shadething did but we'll take care of it together." hopefully knowing someone had your back in this dangerous situation might help with some of that stress.
Shi meanwhile was staring at the beam of light with his hands in his pockets. "Well whatever this thing is, sure has a flair for the dramatic. Regardless we'll stop them." Shi started walking forward towards Yuki before pausing, not looking back but telling Johan. "Oh right, I forgot to mention it but there's a member of AEGIS I helped before, don't know if he took my advice or not but if you see him tell Psych I hope he's doing well." It was subtle, but it was Shi's way of hinting that they would all take care of this, that Johan would be fine enough to go give his message.
Yuki meanwhile ran over to Zero, not hopping on for a ride but holding her claw up for a moment. "Hold still." She mentioned muttering something under her breath as a circle appeared around Zero's side with a symbol pierced on it. "There, that spell will make it so no human will pay attention to you while you're flying, it goes away if you attack though. Just in case for the ride there."
Jumping back she looked up at Shi with a smile. "Alright, lets go Shi."
Shi nodded as he took his digivice out of his pocket, as he did the color changed and morphed from its usual color scheme to a light blue with what seemed to be a frosted screen. "Yuki, digivolve." Shi called out pointing the digivice at the dino in front of him.
"SnowAgumon, digivolve to." her form quickly changed, growing larger, wings sprouting out of her back as she stomped her foot, increasing in weight as it slammed against the ground alongside her tail which now dragged against the ground. "Paledramon!" She called as Shi hopped on her back and started flying off, Daichi ran under and jumped up, grabbing onto her leg as they flew off.... Only Daichi had the upper body strength to do something like that.

"That's what I was afraid of." LJ said in response to Damien answering his question. Things had gotten quite bad indeed. Then when the DemiDevimon hanging in Damien's grip mentioned Lilith talking to her own shadow and seeming to have a few screws loose. LJ looked at the DemiDevimon before he said "If you saw her behaving weird you should of told Damien right away. You do know such a spell not only could endanger her but all of us right?"
LJ was uncomfortable with the whole shadow thing but for a different reason. However a certain shadow digimon he was kidnapped by didn't seem to resort to hanging out in someone's shadow unless he planned to snatch someone so LJ had the suspicion this was a different shadow digimon than the shadowy Ravemon hybrid that had been tormenting mostly his parents.
Then Johan and Dokamon screamed causing LJ to jump and spin on his heels tense and ready for battle taking in the horrified expressions realizing the pair must of experienced their own trouble with a shadow digimon to have a reaction like that. Not only that Yuki seemed startled as well. When Johan asked "What other bloody Digimon do you know that can control shadows?!" LJ was tempted to answer but decided not to. Judging by his and Dokamon's reaction the disguised Leomon X figured it was best not to mention anything.
LJ turned back to Yuki and said "Maybe if we can buy you some time you can figure the spell out. I don't think just randomly erasing the symbols will help anything at this stage."
Then as the pillar of light appeared things were looking even worse but he didn't have to say anything as Damien responded just the thing he was thinking. When Johan was willing to face his trauma head on Daichi wasn't the only one who had his back as LJ deactivated his holosuit and released the DemiDevimon he caught revealing himself as a Leomon X wearing black ninja garb and a blue cape. He then said "Daichi isn't the only one that has your back. Whether this is a Shademon or not we all will stop this digimon before someone innocent gets hurt."
Then Zero digivolved into Raidramon. Unlike the lithe armor wearing one this appmon variant was large and had wings. Johan and Dokamon lept on Zero's back. However as a new thought of how digimon flying would go unnoticed came to LJ's mind Yuki cast a spell causing a symbol to appear on Zero. Then LJ said "I was wondering how we were going to get there unnoticed by humans. Glad you know such a useful spell, Yuki." Then Yuki digivolved to Paledramon and Shi hopped on. As for Daichi he clung to her leg.
Just as Zero and Yuki took flight LJ said "Time for some magic of my own." His eyes glowed light purple while sparking as his body became alive with magic as his ability Magical Field surrounded his body which allowed him to not only lift himself off the ground but fly as well. With this ability he was able to keep up with the others.

"Hey, we're paid to follow orders, not think!" One of the DemiDevimons complained, as Damien released him from his grip in disgust. He never understood why his sister kept these two idiots around, but there wasn't much he could do about it right now.
"Both of you just... stay put and don't cause any trouble, okay?" Damien told the demonic bats. The idiot duo just looked at each other and shrugged at the order.
"Eh, sure. Can't promise anything if the boss lady tells us otherwise, though." The DemiDevimon replied nonchalantly. "She's the one holding the contract, so what she says, goes."
"Ugh, fine. Whatever." Damien wearily said as he rubbed the growing headaches these two were giving him. Unfortunately for the Sorcerimon, by the time he shifted his attention back to the others they had already flown off without him, leaving him behind with Pumpkinmon, KoDokugumon and the two DemiDevimons. "Yggdrasil-d***it. Pump, please watch these two troublemakers for me."
"Okay!"
Once again having no choice but to travel on foot due to not being able to fly, the unlucky Sorcerimon quickly ran towards the building where Lilith and her shadowy manipulator were waiting.
Up on the rooftop, Lilith was watching her work with excitement as she waited for the spell to build up to full power. However, her 'shadow' pulled her out of near trance-like state by pointing off the side of the roof where the protagonists were flying towards the roof.
"It seems we have some party crashers incoming." The 'shadow' said in a sickeningly-sweet voice, as a pair of eyes on it glowed an eerie crimson.. "Are you just going to let them ruin our perfect Halloween?"
No... no, Lilith couldn't let that happen. Not when she'd worked so hard on this! Irritation and indignation building, Lilith sent a telepathic message to her two familiars through the link their contract provided. Oy, knuckleheads! I need you stop those dragons and their riders! Chop, chop!
Command sent, the Witchmon went to the edge of the roof and unleashed a Baluluna Gale right at Yuki in an attempt to blow them all away.
As Lilith unleashed her wind attack, the DemiDevimons looked at each other with concern before reluctantly DNA Digivolving into Devidramon and quickly started chasing after the flying dragons and Leomon X. They didn't want to fight, but like the one Demi said earlier, they had to do what Lilith commanded. As the demonic dragon flew off, Pumpkinmon simply stood by and watched. Damien asked him to watch the Demis, and that was exactly what he was doing.
Once in range, Devidramon let his more feral instincts take control with a savage roar as he attempted to sink his darkness-infused teeth directly into Zero and bring the Raidramon out of the sky.
Lilith:
-Magic Resistance A+ (passive): As a powerful spellcaster, Lilith is naturally 50% more resistant to magic-based attacks, although she's 20% more vulnerable to physical attacks due to being a squishy mage.
-Baluluna Gale: Witchmon unleashes a powerful blast of wind that both damages her target and blows them away from Witchmon. 3 post CD. (0/3)
Devidramon:
-Savage Hunter (passive): Due to his sharp claws and teeth, as well as his more bestial instincts emerging when fighting, Devidramon's attacks deal 30% more damage than normal.
-Shadow Fang: Devidramon's fangs are coated in a sharp aura of dark energy as he sinks his teeth into his foe. 2 post CD, partial piercing. (0/2)

Oh yeah, the writer is a dummy and forgot to write out how Johan, Dokamon, and Zero took to Yuki's sudden appearance. Well, Johan and Dokamon simply sighed and sweatdropped, while Zero couldn't help but laugh at the poor SnowAgumon's misfortune. Once she had been informed on the situation, she claimed that she could interrupt the spell if it was a ritual, if she had time to write out what was essentially a counter-ritual.
Long story short, she needed time to make it so that the ritual kicked out whatever tried to go through the portal instead of allowed in. "I concur with LJ. It would be best if the rest of us dedicated ourselves to keeping Lilith and whatever she is summoning busy," Dokamon said.
"That way, we can buy Yuki here some time to write out the counter-ritual," Johan said. While he wasn't knowledgeable in magic, he was able to understand what Yuki needed to do in order for the group to succeed.
Johan and Dokamon's sudden outburst started Yuki and LJ considerably, so Zero felt as if he needed to come to their defense. "Look, last month, something big happened. It was this Shademon that... got infected by some weird parasite called a Frag, I think? According to King Hikaru, that is. Anyways, it turned the Shademon into something called an Aberrant, a Digimon controlled by a Frag, feeding off of its hatred for humans. It gave the Shademon the ability to... to steal a person's shadow. Johan and Dokamon both had their shadows taken and, as a result, they both nearly died. You can't exactly blame them for having a panic attack over being reminded of something that traumatizing, can ya?"
"Zero..." Johan didn't know what to say other than that, as the AppHackmon was not exactly known for defending anyone in that sense. It also made Johan feel better that, despite just meeting both Daichi and LJ, they both would have Johan's back as they fought against Lilith and whatever is controlling her shadow.
Well, now they had a giant portal in the sky they had to prevent. As Shi headed over to Yuuki, he told Johan to tell Psych that he hoped he's doing well. Johan knew exactly what Shi was talking about. "You were part of the group that took down Niku Zaan and Z-Tec, aren't you?" Johan asked rhetorically, before smiling slightly. "It's thanks to you that Speed got his brother back. All of us at AEGIS are grateful to you because of that."
Before they took off for real, Yuki had run over to Zero real quick. The Raidramon was confused at first, until the SnowAgumon was done doing what she was doing, and told Zero that no humans would pay attention to him as he flew. "No shit, for real? I might've misjudged magic then, this is awesome!"
Now the group was finally in the air, flying at full speed towards the portal beam. However, it wouldn't exactly be smooth sailing as while some form of wind attack was blown at Yuki from the building, Zero felt something bite right onto his leg, and he could feel dark energy coming from that bite and doing even more damage.
"OW, YOU SUNUVA-!" Zero cried out in pain before turning around towards the Devidramon. His claws began glowing red before he slashed the damned dark DNA Digimon right across the face. "Glitch Slash!" Hopefully with that out of the way, Zero could focus on flying towards that damned Witchmon.
Why would it have been so easy for Zero to get away after that? Well, just keep reading the combat log to find out...
Zero takes damage from Devidramon's "Shadow Fang" attack before dealing an attack of his own: "Glitch Slash."
Moves
Glitch Slash: Zero's claws start glowing bright red with digital energy before he slashes right at a target, causing damage. But suddenly the affected target's tail is on their forehead, and their arm is on their leg. The Digimon hit with this attack glitches out in random ways, degrading their defense by 30% for two posts. Cooldown is three posts, starting after the effect ends.

Yuki let out a small but noticeably scared chuckle at LJ's mention of erasing the symbols. " Oh way past that point, if we erase the symbols now then the spell will erupt and take us out and whoever is trying to pass through will be caught between the digital world and the human world as a sorta transcended ghost able to move and think freely through the veil of this world and the next but be unable to interact or do anything," Yuki said with unflinching sincerity, pausing for a moment before adding. " At least that's what father always told me, might've just been trying to scare me but he was pretty intense when he told me so better safe then sorry." Was her father just spooking the young mage or was he serious, hopefully the group doesn't have to find out! Meanwhile at Zero's explanation Yuki's face did noticeably soften but she surprisingly didn't back down. " I am sorry to hear that, I don't blame them I'm just a little on edge at the moment. Getting dragged out of my room into a random street singing my favorite song in front of a bunch of strangers, dealing with a magical portal alongside my other problems I can't really be blamed for being a bit sensitive at the moment." that was true, she was literally in this thread for about three posts and bombarded with facts and questions, cut her some slack. Meanwhile seems Johan knew what Shi meant, rubbing the back of his neck Shi admitted. " Might've had something to do with it, I've never been the type to sit still. As you've seen tonight." Despite his calm expression this would be the second time he has randomly stuck his neck out around an AEGIS operative, at least in doing so they probably knew he could handle himself. Waving off the praise Shi started to walk forward once more. " Don't mention it, gotta look out for each other. We're in this together like it or not." Meanwhile Yuki was praised for her magic, which made the SnowAgumon pretty happy. " I learned it from my father, there's a ton of spells for a buncha different things like Summoni- Oh right er no time to explain should focus on the ritual!" in mid sentence she got tapped on the back by Dachi who reminded her that it wasn't the time for a magic explanation. Now in the air it was pretty clear Lillith wasn't going to let the group through without a fight, starting with Shi's group trying to get them all away. " Shi, incoming!" Daichi shouted as Shi looked over Yuki's shoulder at the wave of air coming towards them. " Leave it to me." Shi moved fast hanging around Yuki's neck with his left arm as her claw reached up catching his feet keeping him still. With that Shi pointed his digivice outward as the light screen app activated forcing a shield outward that tanked the hit, vanishing instantly right after, the force of which also almost knocked Shi clean off of Yuki but he managed to catch the back of her fur with his hand, holding on for dear life. " Alright, my turn." Daichi said as he let his weight drop with two hands on Yuki's leg, swinging back and forward twice, Yuki realizing what he was doing decided to help by kicking her leg, at the apex of the kick Daichi let go flying way higher into the air above. " Be careful Shiro-san." Shi called out as he reclaimed his position on Yuki's back. " Heh, Careful's my middle name Nami-chan!" Daichi called back as he removed his D-tector from his belt, slashing it as he fell down towards the ground below. " Excecute, Spirit Evolution!" Daichi shouted as he was suddenly engulfed by a brilliant light, despite the light from the portal shining bright, Daichi shined brighter falling just below the building before he rose, flying high in front of Lillith and her shadow. " Happy day before Halloween, I'd ask if you wanted a trick or treat but." Daichi slammed his fist into his open palm. " At the rate you've been causing trouble I think you deserve a fist more." Daichi then became engulfed in a blinding aura, vanishing from sight and appearing next to Lillith smashing his fist against her. " Lightspeed Attack!" appearing in the blink of an eye to her otherside, overwhelming them with attacks from all angles faster than anyone his level could see granting no room to counterattack. Meanwhile Shi and Yuki quickly tried to make their way past her, leaving Daichi to deal with Liilith while they head straight to the portal.
Yuki C.A: Shi defends Yuki with his digivices light barrier, she moves onward to the portal instead of engaging with Lillith. Daichi C.A: : Daichi leaps up high before crashing down in front of the Witchmon, throwing a Lightspeed attack in hopes to get her focused on him.

At the DemiDevimon's statement of being paid to follow orders not think LJ couldn't help but roll his eyes in annoyance at them. However there was no time to chew them out so he ignored the pair focusing on the task at hand. Looking at Yuki as she explained that it was way past the point to erase the symbols and that if erased the spell would erupt and take them out. "Sounds like that is to strong a price to pay to keep that shadow thing trapped so we should probably only resort to such as an extreme last resort. Let's just hope it doesn't come to that."
Then when Zero explained about why Johan and Dokamon were so alarmed LJ facepalmed before he said "Oh man now I feel like an insensitive dummy. Sorry guys I didn't know. So if this is that Shademon then that creep has to be stopped though I don't blame any of you for having a panic attack. To be fair if I went through what you guys went through I would no doubt be in a similar state if not possibly worse."
When Zero was bitten LJ knew he had to do something but if he attacked he would lose his ability to fly momentarily. Fortunately for him he had a way out of this as he said "Digi Armor Energize! Leomon X armor digivolve too.......Karatenmon!" He finished glowing now an armor wearing bipedal crow wearing a sword on each hip. Just as Zero unleashed his attack LJ flapped his dark wings before diving at Devidramon aiming a kick at the demonic dragon's mid back. Hoping their combined efforts would convince Devidramon to release his grip.
As for Lillith she made a move to stop Yuki and Shi brought some sort of barrier from his digivice to tank the hit while he and Yuki made their way to the spell circle. As for Daichi he spirit evolved and joined the fray taking on Lillith and the aforementioned shadow that may be a Shademon.

Ultimately, it was not Zero's Glitch Slash that knocked Devidramon away from the Raidramon, as the glitching did little to affect Devidramon's teeth being firmly planted on his target's leg. A direct kick to the face from an armor Ultimate, though? That sent Devidramon spiraling away from Zero (and breaking a few teeth in the process). The Devidramon would not be deterred from carrying out his orders, unfortunately, as he did his best to try and catch up to the heroes as best as he could with a randomly-glitching body.
Lilith was annoyed that her wind attack got deflected so easily, but she was not one to give up easily. She was about to unleash another spell when Daichi suddenly charged at her in his Magnamon X form, her face shifting into one of pure panic as she prepared herself for the barrage attack heading her way. And yet, instead of being pummeled by Daichi's glowing fists, the Witchmon felt something grab her by the waist and pull her out of the way of the attack. Her 'shadow' had stretched out an arm to pull her to safety while it rose up into a fully three-dimensional form and took the hits in her place.
"Well now, I'm afraid I can't let you hurt my dear friend like that, Goldie." The 'shadow' said in a teasing tone, as numerous red eyes opened up all over its shadowy body. Its mouth opened up into an unnaturally wide, predatory grin that showed off countless sharp teeth. "Looks like little ol' Abaddon will need to teach you some manners!"
Ready for combat, Abaddon's appearance shifted from a warped copy of Lilith into a dark mirror of Daichi's Magnamon X form. "Let's see if you can take as much as you can dish out as I steal your own move! Lightspeed Attack!"
With that, Abaddon charged at Daichi, utilizing a perfect copy of the attack Daichi had used moments prior.
Lilith, meanwhile, was briefly frozen as she tried to process what had just happened, This hesitation didn't last long, though, as the Witchmon went back towards the edge of the roof and unleashed another spell towards Yuki, this time unleashing a piercing water jet upon the ice dragon. "Aquary Pressure!"
Lilith:
-Magic Resistance A+ (passive): As a powerful spellcaster, Lilith is naturally 50% more resistant to magic-based attacks, although she's 20% more vulnerable to physical attacks due to being a squishy mage.
-Baluluna Gale: 1/3
-Aquary Pressure: Witchmon fires off a high-pressure water jet from her hand, capable of punching through steel. 3 post CD, full piercing. 0/3
Devidramon:
-Savage Hunter (passive): Due to his sharp claws and teeth, as well as his more bestial instincts emerging when fighting, Devidramon's attacks deal 30% more damage than normal.
-Shadow Fang: 1/2
Abaddon (Shademon):
-Amorphous (passive): Shademon can manipulate and contort his own body to evade attacks, granting him a 30% evasion boost.
-Mimic: Shademon copies an attack he has seen an enemy perform in that thread (except OPT or passive abilities), scaled to Champion-level power. This ability's cooldown is equivalent to the copied move's cooldown. (Copied Lightspeed Attack, 0/4)

"Okay, so erasing the symbol things is definitely not an option by this point," Zero said, a bit noticeably freaked out by Yuki's long-winded explanation of what such an action would do. He didn't even agree with LJ on doing it as a last resort; if anything, he preferred to leave the damn things alone if it got that bad.
Yuki and LJ both seemed sorry for what Johan and Dokamon had gone through involving a Shademon. LJ wondered if this Shademon was that same Shademon that had messed with the two of them before. Johan shook his head no. "That Shademon died a while ago, along with the Frag that possessed it. If this is a Shademon we're dealing with, it's a different one entirely."
And now the group was in the air, flying towards the magic portal of presumed death. The DemiDevimons from earlier had fused into a Demidramon and bit on the back of Zero's leg to stop him, Johan, and Dokamon. While his Glitch Slash didn't do much to get it off, LJ came through and armor evolved to Karatenmon, successfully kicking the now glitching Devidramon off of Zero.
"Finally... thanks, my dude!" Zero called out to LJ.
"I cannot help but feel pity for the Devidramon," Dokamon stated as he watched the glitching Digimon struggle to keep up with the others. "However, logic dictates that we press on."
The three of them were close by when Daichi spirit-evolved to Magnamon X and charged right over to Lilith with a glowing golden punch. However, he was stopped when the Shademon took form and pulled Lilith out of the way to take the attack himself. Johan's stomach plummeted, Dokamon's throat went dry, and both their sets of legs felt like jelly when they saw him... when Zero had landed on the building, neither the human nor his partner were fully taking in what the others were doing... their gazes were focused entirely on the Shademon in question.
The fear... it felt like it was too much. Johan felt like he was back in the emergency room without his shadow, his heart was beating rapidly, almost to the point of it hurting. His breathing was now more sporadic, and he felt like his legs were going to give in at any moment, and Dokamon was feeling all these same sensations. They were no longer in the scene... not mentally, at least.
All they could do was stare into the abyss.

Daichi's punches landed, just not on their intended target. Daichi jumped backwards slightly after delivering the full attack, still on the roof he bounced side to side with his fists up, bouncing from one leg to another. " Ahh, So you're the so called friend I've been hearing about." Daichi said with a smirk as he landed with his left leg forward, bending down and getting his stance lower and ready for the fight ahead. " Right manners, is it also proper manners to gaslight your 'friends' into opening a hole in the sky on the wrong day? Might be high time for the teacher to learn some manners of his own." Clearly Daichi wasn't going to be backing down from this, time for a brawl as they say. Daichi watched as the shadows shifted and formed into his own digimon's form, he'd be impressed in any other situation if he was honest. " Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all, but surely you can come up with your own moves?" Apparently not as Daichi was quickly put on the backleg by the sudden attack, forced on his guard to try and deflect the blows to the best of his abilities, it was hard but Daichi focused on the hits, recalling the times he had used this move before. Just keep focusing and. " THERE!" Daichi called out as he tanked the last hit of his own attack before countering with a powerful lunging straight punch right into the Shadow, trading hits. " Divine!" Daichi called out as he threw his weight forward, aiming downward to send the digimon into the ground below with a powerful hit. " SMASHER!" It was his move after all, Daichi knew when the move ends. Meanwhile with the second half of Shi's group, Yuki and Shi were making their way closer and closer to the portal, however their quick little night flying situation was quickly interrupted by a jet stream of water, hitting Yuki in her leg causing her to waver a bit. " Ahh!" She didn't even have a chance to dodge it. " Yuki, Hang in there." Shi looked over to see where the attack came from, seems Daichi was fighting someone else now leaving Yuki to deal with more attacks, hopefully Zero or LJ could distract her. Sadly Shi couldn't SAY that without them instantly knowing what they're planning, only thing to do is counterattack and hope that they help out. " Ok Yuki, when I say fire, use Frozen Meteor." Shi mentioned before balancing himself once more on her side, pulling out his grapple gun from his infinite storage cube and aiming it at the Witchmon. " Fire." Shi said quietly to her as he fired the shot from his grapple gun at Lilith. The shot would hit its mark but she'd have an easy time moving out of the way of the attack, however she wouldn't have an easy time with the ice meteor that would suddenly drop on her head right after the grapple gun either hits or misses, either way Shi and Yuki wouldn't stop making their way to the portal.
Yuki C.A: Shi aims a distraction with his grapple gun as Yuki counters with a meteor dropped right on the Witchmon's head.
Notable Passives:
[Maelstrom of cold]: An icy cold power that infects the digimon right down to their core, decreasing the opponents defense by 30% every time a named move lands for 2 posts. Does not stack.
Used Move: [Frozen Meteor]: I got no fancy words for this one, she creates a large block of ice above the opponent and dunks it on some fools, eat it nerd. 2 post cool down.
Current CD:
FM 0/2 Daichi C.A: Daichi waits till the end of Lightspeed attack before trading hits with his Divine Smasher to send Shademon into the ground.
Daichi leaps up high before crashing down in front of the Witchmon, throwing a Lightspeed attack in hopes to get her focused on him.
Active Passives: [Golden Warrior]: New shiny armor, it's quite an upgrade raising his attack and defense by 25% but lowering his evasion by 20%
Used Move: [Divine Smasher]: Lunges forward with straight punch towards the enemy, his fist engulfed in light as he bashes into them sending the opponent hit by this attack flying backwards. If enhancer is used on this move he delivers an additional rising kick, this kick is mostly just flavor for the enhanced damage however. 3 post cool down.
Current Cool down: LA 1/4 DS 0/3 |

When Johan explained that this Shademon was not the same one that caused Dokamon and his tamer a great deal of trouble due to being dead, LJ said "It's still understandable for you and Dokamon to be highly uncomfortable with potentially a digimon of the same species given what happened when you last met a Shademon."
Between the efforts of Zero and LJ Devidramon was struggling to keep up do to the glitching caused by Zero and LJ's kick. LJ winced at the sight of Devidramon loosing teeth before spiraling towards the ground knowing that would likely hurt later on even. However the persistant dragon didn't seem easy to deter but at least some time was bought. When Zero thanked LJ the Karatenmon said "No problem dude. Maybe that will encourage Devidramon to at least keep his teeth to himself."
LJ nodded in silent agreement at Dokamon's words and turned in time to witness Daichi's transformation into Magnamon X. Then when the Shademon made his appearance LJ narrowed his eyes as they sparked purple before catching sight of Johan and Dokamon frozen in place not mentally there. Feeling lost on how to help them LJ turned his focus toward Lilith and Shademon. Daichi seemed to be holding his own against Shademon for the moment so LJ turned his attention towards Lilith as the Witchmon's Aquary Pressure hit Lilith. It was clear that Shi was trying to create a diversion so LJ decided to help with that. "Spiritual Conjuring!" he said as he felt his magic flowing in his hands taking on a light purple glow before taking form and becoming a boomerang which landed in the palm of his hands. Clutching hold of the newly magically conjured boomerang he narrowed his eyes before taking aim at Witchmon before he threw it. Whether his boomerang hit or not didn't matter as surely between himself and Shi there was enough of a distraction to allow Yuki's attack to do its work.

As Daichi called Abaddon out for 'gaslighting' Lilith, the Shademon tilted his head, as if confused by what the Magnamon X was saying, all while unnaturally contorting and twisting his body in strange ways to stay just out of reach the Magnamon X's Divine Smasher. "Gaslighting? No, no, no, I did no such thing! I may have explained the concept of Halloween and Samhain to her, but it was entirely her idea to open a portal to let other Digimon come through and join the fun! You can even ask her yourself!"
Devidramon, still hampered somewhat by his glitching body, managed to catch up with the heroes at last and was enraged when he saw Yuki unleashing her icy meteor upon his master. The Demonic dragon howled in rage as he charged forward and started tearing into the CrysPaledramon with darkness-enhanced talons. Even in his current state, Devidramon was gonna unleash hell upon Yuki or die trying.
Meanwhile, Shi’s grappling hook would end up grabbing Lilith’s cat familiar that was hovering near her shoulder, the furry beast screeching in terror as it was rapidly pulled towards Shi and Yuki. Despite grabbing the wrong target, it would still distract Lilith long enough for the Frozen Meteor to crash down onto her head (knocking her hat off in the process). The end result? Between her new headache and her cat being catnapped, the Witchmon was now seeing nothing but red as she glared at Shi and Yuki. She was about to unleash yet another elemental spell upon the duo, but hesitated once she saw Devidramon attacking Yuki for her. She couldn’t bring herself to fire at them now, lest she potentially hit either of her familiars by accident.
As she hesitated, she saw LJ’s boomerang flying towards her out of the corner of her eye, spurring her to quickly duck down and let the magical weapon fly overhead. Once it was gone, the witch decided to focus her attention on the Karatenmon instead, unleashing a barrage of magical will-o-wisps in his direction.
As Devidramon and Lilith fought on, Abaddon decided that he shouldn’t play around anymore. His left arm stretched out towards Daichi, the end morphing into a snarling wolf head that attempted to firmly bite down on Daichi’s arm. “It’s a shame that we got our timing wrong, but I’m afraid we simply can’t stop now. And I do mean that literally. That portal’s opening whether we want it to or not. Either way, I’m afraid you’ve already interfered too much.”
However, it was at that moment that Abaddon sensed an unusually high amount of fear nearby. Most of his eyes glanced around in every direction before they all settled on Johan and Dokamon. Normally, Abaddon could only search someone's mind if they were unconscious, but the two partners were close enough to being catatonic that he could at least skim the surface of their minds. "Well, now. What do we have here? I haven't sensed fear this powerful in ages. What could have you two so worked... oh, I see. I'm not the first Shademon you've encountered. How interesting."
Far away, Pumpkinmon was getting bored of sitting around doing nothing, so he decided to head towards the building where everyone else went. Unlike most of the others, the little pumpkin Digimon could somehow fly without any obvious explanation as he slowly floated off towards the skyscraper with KoDokugumon firmly clinging to his head. As he flew, Pump wondered if he should just grab Mr. Damien and take him with them as well.
