With Ryota and Sworddramon having stopped and waited for a bit, Noirstellamon had managed to catch up and join the slowly growing group. Noir was a bit agitated as he saw Ryota. Devon and her partner continued with the group to Devil's Own. Devon: *looking around but turns to Ryota* Sir Kenkaku, please refrain from going off on your own again. We cannot afford to suffer anymore losses. Noirstellamon: *scanning the area* Kenkaku, do not allow yourself to make anymore irrational decisions.

Valor: *Tightens his grip on Mjolnir's handle* I don't like this. 'Untampered' with usually means a nasty surprise is coming.

Ryota: ..I know..I'm sorry. Sworddramon: Yes well now that that's taken care of, I suggest we brace for an attack. Griffin: We should set up a perimeter around the prison, air, land, and sea. Yukito: Excellent idea. We'll also need any and all stun techniques available to us, and a line of lethal if we must go to that level. However, given their crimes we may just have to go with lethal.

Kyodai: Down there! Soldramon and Zephyrmon, reverted back from Cielmon, circled down towards the beach of Devil's Own. The two adults landed behind the group of tamers around Ryota, their tamers dismounting without much talk and walked forward into the group. --- Darien was bashed back from the impact of Daisuke's counter, managing to hold his footing until Kiko forced him to disengage. The dark-haired God Sword tamer quickly brought his katana up, holding it above his right shoulder with the blade angling down and across his body, and parried Daisuke's next strike. With the dark tamer's body split between Kiko and himself, Darien was able to slide his sword along Daisuke's and back away, though only to let his weapon's blade slide forward and fall forward into its scythe configuration before stepping forward, slicing at Daisuke. --- Kaekiraemon floated in the sky, it's attempts against Nightmare Milleniumon thus far having produced results that were mediocre at best for the demonic perfect, serving only to enrage Kaekiraemon, as it had yet to even land any significant blows on Nightmare Milleniumon. It brooded as Nightmare Milleniumon had moved on to attack Kodiakmon, and watched with increasing anger. Kaekireamon clenched the clawed fist of its shorter, thinner hand, and crimson energy began to build before there was an explosion of anger in the demon's eyes and the flares of blood-tinted energy around its right arm took fire as a blade of energy around the entire forearm, extending further than the digimon's legs. Kaekiraemon charged forward with an unnatural roar, it's blood sword cutting up at Nightmare Milleniumon.

Endo: "I would advise diging in and waitting for them to come to us. There is no need to open this prison up and help our enemies achive their goal. Draconismon, Double Helix evolution, MechaTalosmon." *Draconismon faded into his digital frame. The four arms became one larger set of arm, the wings and tail srank back into the fram as it grew larger. A set of beams came from the fram, in cased Endo in a sphear, then lifted him to the center of the evolveing Digimon. Finaly the robotic metal work began to form, fully constructing the massive form of MechaTalosmon* MechaTalosmon: "Ready to engage."

Tetsuo: *nods* Circuitmon, go for it. Guy: You too, Keomon. Keomon! Geno Shinka! Circuitmon! Geno Shinka! The two vanished in orbs of light that formed into creatures as large as MechaTalosmon. PANZERMON! OBELISKMON! Yukito: You three will be the first line of defense. Ryota, you and Sworddramon should keep hidden. We'll need you to Hyper Digivolve at a moment's notice. Ryota: *nods* Right. Griffin: I'll hold point, I'll use Heatdramon for this one. Echidmon: Sounds 'bout right. Leon: I have a form that should come in handy. Tsunagemon: ^^; Hope so. Kasumi: I'll use ArchAngemon for this. ANyone with a Second Advent use it. Stragomon: Better use Excalimon for this one. Dagrus: Mode change him to..oh wait, but that leaves Iris and Adrian without much..maybe we should go for Snipedramon... ------------ Daisuke slid back, avoiding the slice, and coming at Darien with a charged slash from Lynx while he made a stabbing motion with ShadowLaw. Daisuke: You Guardians are such diehards. Nightmare Milleniumon shattered, splitting into two Digimon, flying past Kaekiraemon and reforming back into Nightmare Milleniumon, who responded to the attack by firing a Nightmare Burst.

Iris: DAG finally found you x_X... I feel like I've missed something, I've been worried about you and staring at THAT *points to Nightmare* X_X I heard something about Snipedramon Adrian: X_X MOTHER... I hate this place >.< *wheezes* Squiremon: X_X mommy ***** Akelamon was still running, he felt Hunter was this way, something inside him was drawing him. ***** Nodoka and Shinobimon were still fighting some of the criminals

Devon: Sir Koibara, please allow Noir and myself to stay with Sir Kenkaku. We would like to reserve most of our energy for when we encounter any of the Dark Five. Noirstellamon stood patiently while glancing over to Ryota and Sworddramon.

Ryota: Huh? Sworddramon: I agree. Ryota: T_T Why do you say that? Sworddramon: Cuz Noir's scolding shuts you up real quick. Ryota: T_T Only cuz he sounds like my grandpa. Yukito: I'll allow it. ^^; Cruxmon: *fresh from Digivolving, holding the Sword of Balance* We're ready on this end, Yuki-kun. Yukito: Alright, places, they'll be here soon, they can't have anymore business in the prison left. Guy: The back up security system should come on soon, the the Guardians back there have been doing well in keeping them contained. Yukito: Excellent. Sion, do you smell anything? Sion: Nothing yet, just small traces.

Derryn: Gah! Sorry I'm late! Approaching from out of the woods, Derryn and Torudmon took a second to catch their breath. Torudmon: We must have taken... The worst possible route to get here... Ever... What did we miss? "WAHH!!" Next up was a series of explosions emerging from not far behind them, and a rather panicked Enbeli charged out of the woods too, dragging a protesting Ari by the scruff of the neck. Enbeli: T_T I saw a junebug... Junebugs are scary... Ari: @_x;;; But it wasn't necessary to blow up half the forest to get away... Iworemon: (Catching up) T_T Yes it was! Junebugs can take your ARM off with a well placed bite! Aelamon: (Jumping out of the trees) ^_^ That's actually a myth, Junebugs don't actually bite you, they just try to scare people. Enbeli: ... Oh... ^_^ Ah well! Lookie who I found! (Presents Ari to the group) She's apparently new here, and didn't know where to go, so I dragged her along. Ari: Ah... Yoroshiku onegaishimasu... (Bows her head slightly) Could you please put me down senpai?

Tetsuo: Sinden being called senpai? That's new. Ryota looked around cautiously...they had to be around there somewhere...just waiting to spring an attack.

Ari: I'd call anyone that term if it meant that someone not totally new at this watched my back... Aelamon: ^_^;;; So... How do we usually go about doing this sort of thing? Derryn: ^_^;;; To be brutally honest, nine-times out of ten we just fly in by the seat of our pants and hope nobody gets killed... That, or we get jumped while we sit around talking... Speaking of which, would you mind doing a quick look around to make sure nobody's sneaking up on us Torudmon? Torudmon: No problem. (Takes off and flies up a bit, looking over the surrounding area for anything suspicious)

Devon: .... What if they already retrieved it? It's unlikely but we still have to consider the possiblity. *not particularly looking around anymore* Noir: ...... *randomly pokes Ryota when he was looking away*

Ryota: *notices Noir* Eh? What? Torudmon was suddenly grabbed by the neck by something. A large, silver and black scaled tail wrapped around his body and proceeded to try and crush him. The form moved quickly in trying to kill him.

Torudmon: (Manages to get his arms between the beast and his body though, and struggles to loosen the grip to escape.) Oh I am SICK to DEATH of getting crushed! (Raises his voice) We've got company people!!! (Starts channeling his electrical energy, and forces it into the thing that had grabbed him) ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~ Derryn: (Hears the call) Great, apparently we DO have company, and I doubt this buddy came alone, if anyone hasn't evolved yet, do it now! (Turns to where Torudmon came from, and starts heading in that direction, brandishing his D-Saver the whole while.) Double Helix Evolution! Torudmon shifted briefly into his Athamon form, and then Geno Evolved into Dariumon, using his new strength to continue forcing the grasp of his aggressor off him, and firing a few rounds from his blaster into it. Enbeli whipped out her own D-Saver, and did the same with Iworemon, bringing Aslerimon into the fray. Enbeli: Is anything else nearby! Aslerimon: Well, I'll check... (Pops down a visor briefly and starts scanning the vicinity) Ari on the other hand, simply evolved Aelamon into Grevemon, and brought out her claws, trying to see what would come after her first...
