After all the encouragement, Ryu was expecting Masamune would step up and see if he was worthy to become the user of that Digimental. Sure, he barely knew him for a day, but he had a feeling his dignified and determined persona would be enough to qualify him as one.
At least that was supposed to happen until someone cut Masamune's silk that act as his limbs and heard someone mocking them. Ryu and Daten were shocked, yet it was brief as they turned to see the samurai-like Digimon and backed away to assume their fighting positions with the latter taking out his gun and Digivice. Well, toy foam dart gun. He was aware it would be useless against Digimon, but it might be enough to intimidate him.
"Suspicious Digimon! Suspicious Digimon!" Daten called out in a hostile tone.
"We noticed. And he's not like Ferrost when we first met her. Stay behind us, ma'am!" Ryu called out to the Floramon before he turned to the Musyamon while discreetly scanning him with his Digivice. "You heard her. You're not exactly Digimental material and there is no way it will accept you if you try threatening us like that!" Once he scanned him, he checked the Digivice's Digimon Analyzer and gasped at what he found. "No way... He's a Champion-level Digimon?!"
"I can take him!"
Daten tried to charge at him, but Ryu grabbed one of his tentacles to stop him. "Not if you want to lose in a one-sided battle! I know we want to be reckless, but there is no way we can win like this. Besides..." He then turned to Masamune. "I have a feeling this is Masamune's fight that we have no right to butt in unless we needed to."

Floramon nervously scuttled back shaking not knowing what to do still but was ready to bolt the moment it went bad. Masamune scuttled inbetween Musyamon and Ryu and Daten surprisingly fast for such short legs. Then Musyamon took note of the curious threads on the ground. 'So that's how the little pest does it. Could be more annoying than I thought.' Musyamon thought also taking special note of how Masamune's sword was glowing as if reacting to the samurai digimon evil nature somehow. As for Daten he seemed eager to fight but Ryu stopped his partner from possibly being cleaved in twain by the rogue samurai.
As for Masamune he wasn't feeling all that confident being a rookie digimon himself but he wouldn't stand by and do nothing when there were those that needed help even if the odds were against him. Taking a deep breath he lept at Musyamon and, though his voice was muffled from having the hilt of a sword in his mouth, said "Divine Sword Slash!"
Musyamon swung his sword meeting Masamune's blade head on causing sparks of holy energy to come from the impact of the blades. Unfortunately Masamune was not physically strong enough to hold of Musyamon as the blow not only sent his treasured blade from his mouth hurtling several feet away landing with a clatter. Not only that but the strength of the blow also sent Masamune flying backwards into the digimental and, to Floramon's surprise, knocked said artifact off the alter but Masamune lay near the digimental momentarily dazed from the blow.
Musyamon smiled cruelly and began advancing on the group intending to carve all of them up and snag the digimental. Even if he couldn't use its power didn't mean the digimental had no value.
OOC: Masamune uses his Divine Sword Slash. Divine Sword Slash: Swings his holy katana around in an effort to slice into an enemy. 20% extra damage to digimon of the evil alignment.
Speeding Thread: Thread spread out from his legs allowing him to travel over any terrain except water at high speed. (Combat Passive)

As the battle started, Ryu and Daten were standing on the sidelines watching the Kunemon and Musyamon duke it out in a sword fight. As expected, this was not their battle, yet he was concerned if Masamune could hold it out on his own even as a Rookie. All they could do was protect Floramon and hopefully, the Digimental away from the rogue samurai Digimon.
Unfortunately, reality struck as the duo helplessly watched Masamune fly backward to the alter, knocking down the Digimental and seemingly incapacitating it. Well, he did say they would intervene if they needed to, so this would be the good time to do so until Masamune recovered.
"You're not taking one more step near the Digimental, you wannabe evil samurai freak!" Ryu warned as he and Daten went in between Masamune and Musyamon. "Tentacle Bind!"
"Ay ay!" Daten quickly charged the samurai and tried to bind his arms with his tentacles. He was unsure if it would be enough to stop him, but he might as well stall until Masamune stood up. Otherwise, the village is doomed.
OOC:
Tentacle Bind: Restrains his opponent with his tentacles. If attempted on a rookie or lower, it will restrain them in one place near Daten for about 2 posts and if used against a Champion, it is restrained for one post instead, but his target can still attack if possible and he cannot use other moves until releasing his target. Automatically fails when used against Ultimate level or up. (4 CD)

Floramon whimpered as Musyamon advanced on them before glancing at Masamune who was laying next to the digimental groaning softly. She had to do something but what? She knew she was no match for Musyamon given she had barely reached rookie so digivolving to champion was not likely to happen for her. Ryu and Daten made their move as Daten used his Tentacle Bind to tie the samurai up.
To say Musyamon was furious at this development was an understatement as the samurai growled in frustration before he said "Not bad you pest but this won't hold me for long. When I get loose I'll make you regret not fleeing while you had a faint chance of escape." Sure he would of pursued Ryu and Daten and cut them down anyway right after grabbing the digimental but he didn't care as he seemed to be only driven by his cruel intentions and seemingly greed and lust for power as well.
Meanwhile Floramon slipped over to where Masamune lay gently rubbing Masamune's head. From what she could tell no permanent harm was done but he wouldn't wake for awhile unless.... She knew what she had to do as she raised her arms before she said "Sacred Spores!" What appeared to be spores glowing with holy energy rained down from her plant like arms landing all over Masamune's exoskeleton mostly on his head where the worst of the damage was causing the bug swordsmon to begin glowing softly as his injuries began to vanish.
Soon Masamune groaned and sat up shaking his head looking at Floramon but before he could say anything she said "Go to the digimental and try to activate its power by saying digi armor energize. If you are the one destined to wield it then you'll be able to armor digivolve."
Masamune said nothing only merely nodding while Floramon sprinted over to grab his sword. Masamune turned to the digimental reaching out with his stubby legs placing them on the digimental before he said "Please let this work, kew. Digi Armor Energize, kew!"
Both the digimental and Masamune began to glow causing Floramon, who made it back to his side, to shield her eyes as he spun a glowing cocoon with his thread as he said "Kunemon armor digivolve too....kew!" Then a clawed orange arm burst from the cocoon as an orange dinosaur digimon came from the cocoon grabbing the cloth that fell off the digimental when he began the armor digivolution sequence and put it on showing it seemed to be traditional samurai wear. Then he said "BushiAgumon, kew!" Masamune looked at this armor form briefly noticing that for an armor form there didn't really seem to be any armor unless his clothes served that function. He didn't have time to think about it to much as Floramon pushed Tenken into his clawed paws without a word and all he could say was "Uh..thank you, kew."
OOC: Floramon heals Masamune with her Sacred Spores. Sacred Spores: Heals the wounds of injured digimon but cannot heal digimon champion or higher. (Cooldown of 2 posts) Cooldown 0/2 posts.

There were two things Ryu learned from this. One, Daten was resilient against Champion-level Digimon. And two, his Tentacle Bind did have a limit on trapping the said level. With that said, Ryu gasped to see his Keramon was starting to struggle against Musyamon. He knew it wasn't enough after all, but he needed more time until Masamune recovered.
"Don't give up, Daten! You can do this!" Ryu cheered.
However, the virus Digimon was starting to lose his strength as the grip of his tentacles was slipping from the rogue samurai. "I-I...can't! He's...too...strong!"
The Musyamon then started to threaten their lives including Ryu and Daten's when he would get out of his bindings. He wished he would flee, but if they did, then they were cowards. And Ryu thought otherwise. "Well, we have no regrets! You, on the other hand, will be for trying to steal the Digimental. And trust me, you will be sorry soon."
"Y-Yeah! Ryu and I aren't afraid of you, big meanie!" Daten taunted despite his struggles to bind Musyamon.
Just as Ryu was starting to have second thoughts after hearing that, he noticed something was glowing behind him. He turned around and gasped to see the Digimental and Masamune seemingly merged into a cocoon. He heard him shouting out "Digi Armor Energize", so did that mean the Digimental accepted him?
Eventually, the cocoon answered his question as it cracked open to reveal an orange reptile adorned himself with the ronin-like clothing from the Digimental, which really added the Edo feel of this village along with his top-knot and his Tenken sword.
"Whoa... So that's how you Digivolve with a Digimental..." Ryu paused for a while as he stared at the newly-evolved BushiAgumon until his eyes widened with a smile. "That's awesome!"
"Yeah... Awesome... Ryu..."
Ryu turned around again and his excitement turned into horror when he saw his Keramon slide down from Musyamon and groaned, "I can't...take it... He's really, really strong!"
Well, that was his limit, he thought. Regardless, it was enough time to stall anyway.
"Thanks anyway, Daten." Ryu then turned to Masamune. "We're counting on you, Masamune. We'll back you up if necessary."
If the Musyamon didn't kick the poor Keramon away, Ryu tried to pull his tired partner away before the real duel was about to start.

Masamune noticed that Daten was swiftly losing strength and he wasn't the only one as Musyamon cruelly smirk as his grip tighted around the hilt of his sword. Masamune wrapped his paw around the hilt of his sword which having paws to grip with was an odd sensation but definitely a welcome one that sure beat holding the sword in his mouth to fight.
Musyamon grinned at Daten's taunt before he said "You should be afraid pest. I can tell you're weakening."
Then the others took notice of Masamune who was narrowing his eyes at Musyamon while grinning somewhat at Ryu and Daten's compliments. However Masamune knew he had to focus on the threat at hand no matter how cool this dinosaur ronin form looked. Just then it seemed Daten had hit his limit as Musyamon was now free and swung his blade intending to slice the tamer and digimon pair up but was interrupted by Masamune using Tenken to block the dark samurai's sword. This form was much stronger than the little bug form from before and stood a much better chance being an armor champion. "That's enough, Musyamon, kew! You will not harm anyone in your pursuit of greed, kew! I will not allow it, kew!" Masamune said. Sure it might of sounded more intimidating if Masamune didn't have a vocal tic but Masamune's growl made up for it.

Daten was a bit frustrated at him. He was able to restrain Musyamon, but the level difference was too much for him to stop him. Yet, Ryu did say they only wanted to stall him, not defeat him. As he said, this was Masamune's battle and after seeing his Armor Evolution, his frustrations were short as he became amazed to see him facing the rogue samurai.
"Wow, he looked so awesome..." Daten quipped.
"Yeah," Ryu answered, knowing how he felt right now. "I wish we can have our own Digimental, too. Then maybe, we can be on the same level as Masamune."
Upon hearing Masamune's declaration, Ryu knew what would happen next. That samurai was a greedy bastard and there was no way they would watch him escape. "Go for it, Masamune! Don't let that wannabe samurai get the better of you!"
"Yeah! Kick that samurai jerk's butt for hurting everyone here!" Daten added.

Masamune had heard Daten's compliment regarding calling him awesome but the humble warrior kept his focus on Musyamon. Though he only trained on his own for a long time he knew instinctively that keeping an eye on a potentially murderous opponent was the best plan. Ryu also complimented Masamune too mentioning wanting a digimental for him and Daten so they could be on the same level as himself. Who knew maybe Daten was a better potential warrior than himself. After all Daten was born as a digimon while Masamune was not as he began life as an ordinary caterpillar. Sure he had gotten used to the whole digimon existence but this fight with Musyamon was infact his first actual battle but both Ryu and Daten didn't need to know that right now.
Musyamon's katana began sparking alive with some kind of dark fire before he swung it at the little bug turned ronin dinosaur warrior with a fearsome call of "Shogun Sword!" The dark flames grew more intense as the blade nearly sliced into Masamune.
Reacting mostly on raw instinct, Masamune raised Tenken as the sword sparked with electricity before blue flames seemed to blend and the electric flames were holy in nature. Swinging his sword to meet Musyamon's, Masamune exclaimed "Sacred Burning Slash, kew!"
Musyamon and Masamune's blades met the dark and holy moves seeming to be trying to cancel the other out but due to the nature of the holy sword Tenken the slight power advantage seemed to be negligible. Only way this standoff would be one sided was if Musyamon attacked with something other than his sword.
OOC: Musyamon uses his Shogun Sword. Shogun Sword: His sword becomes alive with dark flames before he swings it at an opponent.
Masamune counters with his Sacred Burning Slash. Sacred Burning Slash: His katana Tenken bursts into electric blue holy flames before he leaps for an opponent slashing with the firey blade. 30% extra damage to digimon of the evil alignment.

As the battle began, Ryu and Daten were standing on the sidelines doing nothing but watching two swordsmen Digimon clashing their blades with each other and protecting Floramon and some villagers who might get caught by the crossfire. While both of them were a bit frustrated that couldn't do anything to help Masamune. Yet Ryu knew doing so won't help him. He earned that Digimental and Armor Evolution all of his own and saw Musyamon trying to steal the former just to sell it. Even if he was aware of that, he noticed his partner Digimon watching the battle while fiddling with his large fingers.
"You really want to join the battle so bad?" Ryu whispered.
"I really want to help Mister Masamune, but you said we're not supposed to join in," Daten reminded. "But keep saying it will hurt him if we do."
"True. This is a fair fight that only Masamune needs to finish by himself. If we don't follow his wishes, then it might ruin his honor or something." Ryu then stared at Musyamon and frowned as he watched him still trapped in a lock with Masamune. "Then again. That guy isn't believing in those concepts at all."
"So what do we do?"
Ryu hummed. "Just get ready. I know this will not help things, but I'm not trusting that guy on fair play."

Though Ryu and Daten were there to defend her Floramon fidgeted with great uncertainty including her rubbing her flower like arms together. She looked into the shrine while biting her lip before darting into the building finally knowing what she had to do. The head shrine maiden would know what to do and definitely would be strong enough to scare away Musyamon.
As for Masamune sweat started to flow down the ronin dino's forehead from the heat from the flames from both swords but he wasn't the only one as it seemed Musyamon was sweating to. Musyamon growled in frustration and narrowed his eyes as he had just the solution to his dino problem. Grinning maliciously he then said "You are better than I thought but you have made a dangerous mistake." Before Masamune could respond Musyamon exclaimed "Take this! Shogun Mist!" Musyamon opened his mouth before a green mist was spewed from his mouth heading for Masamune.
The gas flooded Masamune's lungs causing him to cough as he stumbled backward barely holding on to Tenken. His eyes watered as the mist seemed much like tear gas but his tears were so bad he could barely see blurry images. This was not good for the young warrior. "Kew?" was all he managed to whimper amongst his coughs.
OOC: Musyamon definitely didn't play fair by unleashing some kind of gas with his Shogun Mist. Shogun Mist: Sprays a green mist from his mouth that causes eyes to water and renders eyesight blurred for 2 posts. Cooldown of 2 posts. Lasts 0/2 posts.

Ryu growled after seeing the turn of events. As expected, Musyamon wasn't planning to play fair and now, they had to pay with their passiveness by witnessing Masamune being blinded by the mist he spewed out. So much for fair play, he thought. In any case, they have to act now before Musyamon took advantage of his unfair play.
"Well, it didn't take long for him to ignore sportsmanship or something. It's our turn, Daten!" Ryu called out.
Daten nodded excitingly. "About time! This is for not playing fair, you mean samurai!"
"Scan Giggle!" Ryu ordered before his Keramon cackled and spewed out an energy blast in an attempt to hit Musyamon. He did have Crazy Turn to blow away the mist, but there are some villagers nearby and they rather not put them in the crossfire. While his attack occurred, Ryu covered his mouth with his gloved left hand and rushed to Masamune's side shouting, "Masamune, are you alright?"
OOC:
Daten uses Scan Giggle to the cheating Musyamon!
Scan Giggle: An altered version of Crazy Giggle, he spews out a green destructive bullet of light while laughing maniacally. It can cause medium damage, strong enough to break fragile objects such as glass or wood. (1 CD)

Musyamon was taken off guard by Daten's sudden attack stumbling back to regain his wits. Then he stared at Ryu in anger as the tamer made his way over to Masamune. Masamune was stumbling around wiping his eyes futilely with his non sword wielding paw as he heard Ryu's question. "Good considering I can barely see, kew. Please back off Ryu before Musyamon tries to carve you up or you accidentally inhale this gas, kew. While it doesn't seem deadly to a digimon like me it might be dangerous for a human like yourself, kew." Masamune said trying to gently nudge the Ryu shaped blur back. However his paw was connecting with nothing but air.
Musyamon made his move then leaping at the pair bringing his sword down towards Ryu intending to slice him in two. However, as if on instinct alone, Masamune swung his katana in an upward arc knocking Musyamon's sword back. It seemed Musyamon was unaffected by his own gas which likely made sense given he spewed it. Musyamon was surprised that Masamune was able to block him but now noticed the dino ronin's swings were wild aiming at the vaguely Musyamon shaped blur in front of him. 'So the block before was just a lucky swing. No big deal. I can pick off the ronin before wiping out the obnoxious tamer and his partner.' Musyamon thought with a cruel smirk.
Meanwhile Floramon had reached the head shrine maiden and alerted her of the danger outside. Now said head shrine maiden was heading for the outside after telling Floramon to evacute the other shrine maidens through the back exit. Soon the head shrine maiden would be outside.

Masamune was right. It was a bit stupid for him to charge through the smoke just to aid him despite his attempts to avoid breathing it in. However, he has a good reason and following Masamune's instruction would mean his efforts were nothing. So he backed away from Masamune as he wished, but only because he has to avoid the smoke while he blocked Musyamon's next attack and never run away.
"I know it's dangerous for me to stay near Musyamon's smoke. But even if I leave you to deal with Musyamon on your own, it doesn't mean we're willing to let you die because of his cheating ways," Ryu said from under his gloved hand. "I know Daten and I aren't strong enough to deal with that guy like you do, but at least we can try to help without ignoring your honor. Until your sight recovers, we're gonna help you."
"That's right!" Daten cried at Masamune. "You earned your Digimental fair and square and we're not letting that mean samurai get his way!"
Speaking of which, Daten was still glaring at Musyamon after firing his Scan Giggle. As much as he wanted his Tamer to let him use Tentacle Bind or Crazy Turn, he felt a little scared trying to go all melee on him after witnessing the smoke partially incapacitate the dinosaur samurai Digimon. All he could do was to trust Ryu on his next order.

Before Masamune could argue it seemed the Shogun Mist was dissipating. "Thank Yggdrasil, kew. Now I have one less thing to worry about, kew." Masamune muttered as he blinked his eyes after rubbing them with his free paw once again. The blurriness in his eyes was clearing but had not quite cleared. "At least the gas has cleared, kew. Maybe if we work together we can bring him down, kew. After all there is nothing dishonorable about working together to achieve honorable means since not all the townsfolk could beat this guy, kew. If he was willing to resort to dirty tactics this fiend would not be above trying to harm children, kew. This samurai has no sense of honor, kew." Masamune said with a growl.
"To hell with your concepts of honor! Time to die!" Musyamon bellowed before he swung his sword at Masamune and Ryu only for something to meet his blade knocking it out of his hands. Blinking in surprise he turned around and it seemed the head shrine maiden had shown up. Masamune's blurry vision cleared seeing the sight of a Taomon wielding a paintbrush and glaring at Musyamon with narrowed eyes.
"Leave this village." Taomon said in an icy tone which caused Musyamon to back off nervously. Yes he had no honor but was not stupid enough to fight the ultimate level head shrine maiden. He wouldn't of been surprised if she was living in the village for a long time though. Picking up his sword he turned on his heel bolting as if his slimy life depended on it. Watching as Musyamon vanished from sight she waited a bit before narrowing her eyes as if entering a deep trance. Then after some more time opened her eyes and said "The coward is no longer in the village and if he values his life is unlikely to return." Turning to Masamune and the others as her paintbrush vanished up her long sleeves before she said "Don't worry. It is safe now. I won't hurt you."
Somehow, though he couldn't understand why, Masamune felt she was telling the truth. Her last sentence was spoken with a certain gentleness too. Nodding he sheathed Tenken and began glowing before he shrunk back down dedigivolving back into Kunemon.

Ryu sighed once the mist was cleared. With that, he would let Masamune take the stage. Well, at least until his sight fully recovered. Even hearing his speech made him grin with determination. "Glad you see things our way," he said as he tried to help Masamune up to his feet. "Even if Daten and I can't beat him alone, with you, we'll try to drive that jerk away from the village."
While they were talking, Daten's eyes widened to see Musyamon raise his sword to his Tamer and new Digimon friend. "Ryu, Mister Masamune, look out!"
However, his warning was too late as Ryu turned his head to see just as Musyamon swung his sword. Thankfully, a large brush quickly blocked the attack and disarmed him as Ryu noticed a yellow humanoid fox in a Taoist outfit standing slightly taller than him and Daten. With a simple glare and threat, he and his Digimon watched the rogue samurai run between his legs away from the village.
"Should we chase him?" Daten asked.
Ryu hummed for a while. "Nah. Knowing how he tried to steal the Digimental out of greed and trying to mess up the village for it, I have a feeling we won't see him here again for a while." He then turned to Taomon and bowed to her with Daten doing the same. "Thank you so much, Ma'am. Sorry, we didn't do much to stop Musyamon on our end." It wasn't a lie. Ryu and Daten were not strong enough to defeat Musyamon and relied on Masamune to stop him despite they did support him from the sidelines.
"Yeah... Hope nobody got hurt," Daten sorrowfully said.
After that, Ryu turned to Masamune, who quickly devolved back to Kunemon. "Congrats again on your Armor Digivolution, Masamune. Although, what happens now that the village's Digimental chose you?"
