Smoke && Mirrors || Open

[magnus]

Wandering around a dark and eerie night in a local park in the suburbs of Tokyo, she walked hastily after a child she sensed was in danger. Oh, yes. She was indeed very curious. The trees swayed around like, as a breeze swept through, and slowly picking up. She peered around, as her dark raven black hair whipped around her face. Her icy blue eyes scanned the park for any sign of life. She picked up the pace. She could hear voices in the breeze. Calling to her softly. She could not yet make out the source of the voice. It was talking to her, and now that she was here, she'd be sure to find out why. The park slowly blurred and dulled around her. A ball of flames errupted in front of her. It was not the dangerous flames that threw her off guard, but it was the radiance of the light coming from it. Within the flames, she could see a pair of dark orbs. The voice was calling to her again. As if in a trance, she walked slowly towards, infazed. But before she could do no more, she could smell a waft of smoke, and soon a vortex opened up where the ball of flames once was. It pulled her in so fast, she had no time to think....

---

Haruka Magnus opened her eyes, but shut them again from the sudden burst of light. Taking her time for her eyes to adjust, she opened them again to find a cloudy blue sky within her view. Confused, she pulled herself in an upright position. She felt like she had been laying there for hours. Had she? Her mind was fuzzy. What had happened? Did that dream really happen? She shook her head in thought. No, it couldn't have. It was impossible! She positioned her hand to hoist herself up from the ground, but as she did so, her hand rested upon something cold. Her icy blue eyes shifted to the object, and was suprised to find the red, white and black device in her grasp. The same one that must have gotten her here. Haruka tilted her head to one side, admiring the curious object. Never had she seen such a thing before. Well, besides the night she left that world.

She looked up again. It was a fine summer's day. She remembered leaving when it was night time. She must have been out cold for a while. Finally ready to get herself up from the ground, she pushed herself up and groaned when the ache in her back intensified. "This is very odd..." Her tone was very dull, almost still trance-like. Could she still be dreaming? She sniffed the air around her. She still could not shake the smell of smoke wafting around her. Well, she wasn't smoking, nor did she plan to at any time in her life. Then what the hell was it?

She peered around again. It looked like a huge plain. There were a few trees that lined the horizon, but all in all, it was completely empty of all life. Now what was she to do? She saw a path that looked decent enough to travel along. But as she did so, a small puff of smoke sat in the center of the path she was about to tread along. The small smokey ball was just hovering there. Something about it was...odd. Small golden orbs blinked several times, just studying her. A tiny flame flickered above its head. "....What?" She must have been crazy enough to be talking to herself, but...was that thing actually watching her? She narrowed her eyes at the thing again, but as she did, the thing just giggled. It gave a toothy grin at Haruka, who just stood there with her mouth gaping slightly open. She tilted her head again, examining it like some specimen. This was no ordinary creature.

"...Uh, hello?" It edged closer, and let out a small burp. "Oopsie! Haruka, i'm so glad you came!" She shook her head, "I do hope you don't mean me..." The creature edged closer, and continued to grin, "Of course I mean you, silly!" She kneeled down closer to the creature to get a good look at it. By God, it was talking to her. Her parents would throw her into a mental institution if they found out she was talking to a ball of smoke. With eyes. "My name is Mokumon! Welcome to the Digital World!" She bowed slightly. "Mokumon...So, where are we?" The creature nodded to the davice she still held in her hand, "Don't loose that! Keep it safe! You are in the Digital World. I called and you answered!" It started to jump around rather energetically, much to her dismay. The last thing she needed was to babysit. "So, this isn't a dream?" Mokumon stopped bopping around. "No, silly!" She frowned, "Stop calling me that. If anything, call me Magnus. And so stupid nicknames, right - "

Haruka's device screen began to flash. Curiously, she took a good look at it. "What's happening? ....Mokumon?" She looked up to find the creature engulfed in light. Strands of what looked like data was spinning around it. It slowly transformed, and in a small flash, it's form changed. Now, it looked just like a hovering sun. "Mokumon digivolve to....Sunmon!" Haruka shook her head in confusion. It changed? "I must really be loosing it...." She mumbled to herself. Yup, it was official. The new creature bounced happily in it's new form. It must have grown. By God, what else could it change into? "Call me Sunmon! I am your Digimon, now. I will only get stronger!" Even it's voice changed. The device stopped flashing, and a small smile tugged at the corner of her lips. A rare thing for her.

She heard something in the distance. A rustle in the bushes? She wasn't sure, but she peered around to get a good look at her surroundings. They better make haste. She started to walk, no knowing if her new 'friend' would follow. "I do hope you know your way around?" Her tone was yet again, dull. But she looked down at Sunmon, and it just shook its head. "....Great. "

"Ino...?"
"Shh."
"Sorry..."

She thought they had been alone.

A girl crouched behind a tree, peeking from its edge. She was a thin, pale girl, her white hair somehow lighter than her skin. She was adorned in a blue school outfit that appeared old and worn. Dull grey eyes peered out at the strangers. One a Sunmon... an in-training digimon... and the other... a ... human? How was that possible? All the digimon in the area seemed so surprised that she herself was there, being a human and all. So where on god's green earth did this other girl come from?

"...you don't have to apologize, Kapurimon..." The girl whispered to a blue ball cradled under her arm. It was a digimon, one that resembled a small raccoon with a metal helmet. The creature peered up at his partner with wide, red eyes.

"Should...we say 'hi'?" he asked in a meek voice, a soft blush surfacing on his blue cheeks. He tried to smile the best he could, but all he could manage doing was grit his fangs nervously. What if these two newcomers were enemies? Would he be able to keep his tamer safe? In his current stage, probably not. The thought made his tiny hairs stand on end.

Ino watched them approach with a dull expression.

"...might as well...I like her hair..."

And with that, Ino stepped out from behind the tree, cradling her digimon like a tiny child. Kapurimon's little jaws gaped as he got a good glimpse of the two. He suddenly smiled, though gently, not wanting to scare them with his toothy grin. "A..are you.. Digidestined?" he asked with a nervous rasp in his voice, curling his tail around his face.

Ino just stared at them with a blank face, slowly tilting her head to the side at Haruka and Sunmon, silent. She'd let Kapurimon do the talking for now.

"So, what exactly are you? Given that i'm not hallucinating- " Haruka gave her digimon a dull glare, like maybe, it was possible she was still dreaming. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, trying to shake the mild headache making another irritating appearance. This whole situation was indeed, odd. "I am what's known as a Digimon. Digital Monster." Sunmon seemed to spin around several times, giggling, like he'd had one too many jelly babies. She gritted her teeth, amazed by how much energy this thing had. "...A monster, eh? Preferably not those i'd find under my bed." She gave the thing a small smirk, but Sunmon just returned the glare. He probably had no clue what she was on about.

Haruka dug her hands in the pockets of her long, black trench-coat jacket. Luckily she brought the thing with her. She made the final dash to grab it the moment she was swept into the vortex. Not to mention she seemed to be already dressed when she got here. Odd. Her icy blue eyes glanced over the terrain beyind her vision. It was very quiet. Could they be the only one's here?

She took a few long strides, when suddenly, a girl made an appearance from behind one of the trees. The girl had almost flurescent white hair, and grey-ish eyes. She seemed to be about her age, and like herself, she was accompanied by another digmon. The girl, at it seemed, looked curious at them both. It was her digimon that spoke first and gave a small smile. Haruka's glare flashed from both, from the girl, to her digimon. She was very curious indeed, but right now, anything could happen. She looked to the digimon, and frowned slightly, "Digi-what? " Sunmon whirled around again, being slightly distracted. He spun around several more times, and Haruka just glared at it. Sunmon stopped suddenly, realising it may not be a good idea to bother her just yet. Even he was still testing those boundaries. Sunmon cleared it's throat, "Yes. You could say that. We only just met ourselves..." Haruka folded her arms, "So. You new here as well?"

s-so...

...s-so angry...

Kapurimon began to quiver, feeling Haruka's glare strike his very core. She's very irritated.. at us? No... the digimon bit his lip. M-maybe just confused. Yes. I-I'd be confused too if I were in a strange world like this... He then noted her crossing her arms. Frustrated? Irritated? I..is she putting up a wall? His mind raced, trying to figure out this strange human who he had possibly found stranger than Ino.

Meanwhile, Ino was still staring blankly at Haruka and Sunmon. Rather unintimidated, unimpressed even. At least that's the way her outer shell was looking at the moment. On the inside there was so much more going on. So much debate, emotions, thoughts, questions! However she could never let it show.

Never let it show.

my emotions aren't important...

It was strange. Kapurimon and Ino. One was so focused on reading emotion while the other was so focused on hiding it. On odd pair. A frustrating pair. But the girl held her Digimon close, dearly still.

A few moments of awkward silence passed until Ino brought the small digimon to her cheek and giving him a brief nuzzle, a near invisible curl of her lips could be seen if one was as close as Kapurimon.

...mine...

Kapurimon's cheek grew rosier, his red eyes flicking down to look at the ground bashfully. He was inwardly begging her to stop. Not that he didn't like the random spikes of affection that Ino would give him, but they had company to entertain. The human stranger did not seem like the kind that wanted to see Ino get all mushy out of the blue like this.

"...yeah...new..." Ino finally spoke, her tone completely flat and the smile that had been on her face for such a miniscule moment was no where to be found. Kapurimon blinked up at Ino and nodded the best a talking head could. "I'm Kapurimon and this is my partner, Ino Tenma but she just likes to be called 'Ino'. Who are you two?" he asked playfully, suddenly thankful for the affection that Ino had given him, even a bit cheerful. He began to laugh as she gave him a little kiss against his cold metal head, a beet red at this point.

The white-haired girl lowered her Digimon from her face to back under her arm, cradling him closely still. She then began to walk closer to Haruka and Sunmon, slowly tilting her head with a dim look in her eye. "...hair's nice..." she mumbled, then tilted her head the other way, examining her.

"...too much make up... though...you'd look better with less eyeliner... though because of your skin tone..."

Not a moment did her tone rise enthusiastically, not at all.

"...dark colors bring out your eyes... so wardrobe is good... good job..."

Her jaw gaped, suddenly looking amazed even though her voice never lifted a note.

"...vampire...?..."

If Kapurimon had a hand, he'd probably be pressing it against his forehead.

"Get back here!" Masa panted heavily as he chased after the small yellow digimon that flew in the air before him. All six of it's wings were beating furiously and it rapidly changed direction as it went from tree to tree finding them more interesting than the trees in the human world. "Puroromon!" Masa called out again as he chased after the tiny bee digimon. Masa had to admit that it was fast and the fact that it kept changing direction only made it harder for the nonathletic boy to keep up. His boots crunched against the soft grass and occasional twig as he forced himself to continue onward. In the back of his mind he cursed the digital world.

This was the first time the pair had been able to make it to the digital world. Puroromon, having not been in his home in months, was attempting to re-familiarize himself with the local flora. Masa, the ever pessimistic and worried teen, was trying his best to keep his tiny digimon from getting stomped on by a bigger digimon. Ever few steps the boy looked behind him just to be sure that there was no such digimon behind him. This caused him to fall even more behind and forced him to run even harder to catch up. Soon Purormon came to a halt and Masa took this chance to do something he considered extreme. Jumping off one foot Masa flew through the air, his arms out stretched. As soon as he felt the fluttering of wings against his chest he clamped his arms against him and rolled as he hit the ground.

Masa fell into a sitting position with the bee in his hands. His large hands wrapped around the digimon and he brought him to his face. "How many times do I have to tell you to be careful!" Masa said, his voice reminiscent of a parent scolding a child. "Never, never, never go out by yourself. You could get hurt, or stepped on, or worse!" he cried out as he shook the digimon roughly. Puroromon laughed as he was shaken, taking enjoyment in his partner's frantic cries. The bee buzzed and smiled at the male before licking his face. Masa sighed as he sat the bee down.

"Masa-masa," Puroromon said as he flew up and landed on the boy's head. He adjusted himself, his feet grabbing tiny amounts of hair as he nested on the boy's head. "Look-look!" he added as he flapped his wings and tilted the boy's head up. Masa's eyes widened when he realized that he had landed in between two girls, each of them with a digimon in tow. Masa let out a nervous fit of laughter as he tried to collect himself and took a mental inventory. He jumped up and bowed to the women, Puroromon holding on tight so he did not fall off.

"H-hello," Masa said, his dark hair falling down about his face as he bowed. It wasn't the only thing that fell either. From out of his bag his amber colored digivice had fallen as well, landing a few feet away. He straightened up and shuffled his way over to the small machine before picking it up and dusting it off. He laughed nervously once more and rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry about all of the yelling. I'm... Well, I'm new here and I was trying to save my friend from getting squashed." Masa said. Before even knowing the girls he had spoken more to them than he had to anyone at his school.

Puroromon laughed at his tamer's display. "Masa-masa is funny." he said as he closed his eyes and smiled. Masa sighed as his digimon made things worse.

[magnus]

Haruka tried hard. Really hard to refrain from rolling her eyes at the pair of them. Quite an affectionate pair. She watched as the girl started nuzzling his cheek. Oh, for love of the Gods...Thrust in another world, unknown to her knowledge, and first actual human she see's does seem quite on the irritating side. Haruka, on the other hand, was not affectionate by any means. Oh, no. She the situation wasn't so serious, she'd gag at the sight of them. Really, she didn't have the time to watch such things. She didn't even want to be here.

She took a side glance at Sunmon. By the look on his face, he didn't seem impressed either. Good, finally something they both have in common. The girl did seem kind of...boring. "That doesn't sound convincing." Haruka's tone was rather dull, and a little bit raspy. The last thing she needed was another girl as dull and lifeless as she was, which could be a interesting interaction Ino decided to hang around a little longer. Haruka needed someone with a bit more of a 'ooph' to kickstart her talkative side. She nodded once in reply when they were finally introduced. Haruka remained standing and eerily still, as she watched cautiously when the girl edged closer to her. Possibly getting a better look at her appearance and attire. More likely judging her as first glance.

"I'd appreciate if you'd stop staring - " Her icy blue eyes shifted almost in match with Ino's eyes, as she looked over her. At the mention at the word 'vampire', Haruka gave a small hiss, intended to throw her off guard. A small smirk tugged at the corner of her lips, and she narrowed her eyes, as Sunmon sniggered silently beside her, "....right now, I wish I was. Besides, you shouldn't judge someone before you get to know them, Ino." Sunmon could sense his tamer's seriousness. Oh, it will be an interesting journey for the both of them. Beside being a more energetic than Haruka, Sunmon did share a similar level of maturity. Even he knew when it was wise enough to act. God, she only hoped he didn't long for that same affection...Great. One of the reason's why she never had a pet when she was younger.

But when she about to reply with her name, Haruka's gaze shifted to yet another newcomer, this time male. Really, what was up with that? What was it, judgement day or something? Why here and why now? Too many unanwered questions, so little time. And alot more danger. She looked at his bee-like Digimon. A metal-head. A bumble bee. And a floating little sun. What more existed? She didn't say anything when the guy was acting like a baboon. Was she the only one concerned here? "I am Haruka Magnus. But please, just call me Magnus. I don't do cutesy nicknames, " Sunmon jumped from the ground, and with a bit of struggle, managed to settle on top of her head. Much to her disapproval. "...And this is Sunmon." Sunmon glared at the newcomer, and gave a small toothless grin, "It's a party here."

Ino was indeed surprised by the hiss, so much so she took a slow and quiet step back, but didn't allow it to show on her face. She blinked slowly at Haruka, not exactly sure what to make of he yet - other than she wore far too much black to properly compliment her skin tone. Then again, everyone says black is a flattering color.

"...not judging..." She began, hearing a faint yelling in the distance and causing her to turn towards the sounds. "...observing...giving advice...taking precautions..." 

As she explained herself she soon found a boy sprawled out on the ground by their feet. As soon as he sat up to show his face, she heard a faint hum in the back of her head.

The chorus of angels.

Kapurimon felt a slight jerk in his tamer's arms. As he glanced up his jaw dropped. He paled.

Ino's eyes were shining. Though faintly.

THAT HAIR!!

IT'S SO...

"...perfect..."

Not even a drop of enthusiasm.

Ino marveled at Masa's hair. If that wasn't enough her sight fell on the little bee-like creature in his arms. Her jaw gaped and Kapurimon just watched her in horror, as if reading her every thought.

"...so cute... 'Masamasa'...."

The emotionless robot was short-circuiting. 

Kapurimon shook off his embarrassment of Ino's mumbled words and offered the two newcomers, along with Haruka and Sunmon a bright smile.

"Pleasure to meet you Sister Magnus and Brother Sunmon! And to new brothers I am Kapurimon and this is my partner-!" "Ino." 

Ino was quiet for a bit after that, glancing sideways at Magnus. "...Maggie..." she mumbled, as if now humorously trying to get a rise out of her. "...I don't mind cute nicknames..."

Attempting to save face Masa forced himself to stop laughing and made himself straighten up. He dipped his head in acknowledgement of the others as he listened to their names before giving his own. "My name is Masato Amon, though my friend here likes Masa better." he said as he made a gesture towards the Puroromon who had ignored Sunmon's glare and simply made a content buzzing sound as he closed his eyes and tilted his head from side to side. He was obviously off in his own little world. "This is Puroromon." he said. Knowing his name had been called the bee flapped it's wing in a flurry of excitement. Masa ignored it as he looked between the girls. "It is a pleasure to meet you Magnus and you as well Ino." he said.

The trio that had somehow met up were all very different. Even with his limited knowledge of people he was able to figure this out. He looked toward Ino first. She had only spoken in a strange uninterested voice while he had been there and physically... Masa was intrigued by the fact that she had white hair. His curiosity urged him to ask, but he was attempting to not make himself look more like an idiot. His silver eyes drifted towards the girl known as Magnus. His first thought right away was that she was scary. It wasn't how she dressed or spoke it was just an aura about her. He then looked toward himself. He ran his mental inventory again making sure that he hadn't lost anything in his mad sprint here. His red nirvana shirt was covered in dirt but still wearable, his jeans were ripped in several places, some rips larger due to his tackling capture maneuver. If he had to guess he appeared the most normal of the three, which was a sad thought.

Something they all had in common however was the strange device. Masa looked over theres before lifting up his own. They all were different colors but looked identical beyond that. "How did you two get here?" he asked as he thought about he had arrived in the digital world. The image of a strange gate had randomly appeared on his computer and allowed him entrance. That gate was his only way to the digital world and his only escape from his home.

Puroromon, never the one to sit still for too long beat his small wings and was airborne. He wobbled a bit, trying to gain his balance, before he fluttered around as he floated from Magnus and her Sunmon then over to Ino and her Kupurimon. He sniffed each one of them and examined them just as his tamer had. Puroromon's impression of them was much different than his tamer's. The small bee digimon landed on Masa's head and smiled at them. "Masa-masa," he began, the s in his name being turned into a buzzing z. "They look fun too!" the bee exclaimed as he nestled back into his nest. "Masa-masa should play with them." Masa sighed and patted the bug's head.

"I'm sorry about him. He's.... excitable." Masa muttered.

[magnus]

"Ino. Masa," She allowed the names to roll of her tounge, as she filed them deep within her ever-ticking mind. She'll be sure to remember them, because frankly, it was just the three of them so far. Since the rest of the savannah seemed devoured of all other life, these two seemed her best means of an answer. After all, judging by the interactions they had with their own digimon, they must have much more knowledge about the Digital World as she did.

She did have the right mind to just up and walk away. She absolutly hated relying on other people. Perhaps she'll stick around long enough to obtain more information about this place, and monsters within it. Then, she'll leave. She worked much better on her own, and she will come to understand more of the world in her own time. Right now, she just listened to what the others were saying. But something did not seem right at all. Her eyes shifted from both Ino, to Masa, then trailed off in the distance. She thought she saw a shift in the trees beyond them. Maybe it was her imagination. So far, it hadn't let her down yet. Already she had witnessed some wacky things. She glanced upwards at Sumnon in deep thought, and Sunmon, seemingly sensing her cautiousness, could feel something else two. Yet, he remained quiet.

Magnus frowned, "Something is wrong." Her eyes squinted against the direct sunlight, struggling to get a better glimpse ahead. She could not see anything yet. Maybe she was just seeing things. But so far, her judgement has not failed her yet. A faint breeze rustled her hair, as she remained staring in the distance, unmoving and unfazed. Like Sunmon, she remained quiet, deep in thought. Whether the other's sensed it, she didn't know for sure. But this world could be dangerous.

"Don't mind Magnus. She can be a little...neurotic-" Sunmon began.

"- Shh." Magnus was serious.

Ino was still in her own little world during all the introductions. She was imagining what all three digimon would look like dressed in differently assorted bows. Kapurimon, being a light blue would go beautifully with a light pink ribbon tied around the helmets of his horns. Sunmon looked like he might burn off whatever ribbon she'd put on him... maybe a light blue. That would look very nice with his bright orange-ish color. Then there was Puroromon... that yellow color... an emerald ribbon around his neck would work beautifully. Her head slowly tilted to the side as her eyes clouded over with images of all these cute digimon, barely anything just said had rooted in her mind.

"...pink...yes..."

She then turned towards Masa, realizing she had not given him a full evaluation yet on his appearance. For some reason she had felt nervous to. If she screwed up then that would mean he wouldn't share the secrets to his gorgeous hair. "...red works... yeah...hm.." she began as she examined his appearance by circling around him. "...ripped jeans... don't know if you bought them like that... but they aren't 'in' this season... makes people look messy... thick framed glasses... good... fashionable... mmm..." she suddenly remembered his question.

"...got in with this thingy..." she muttered as she pulled out her blue-colored digivice from her pocket with her free hand, the other still cradling Kapurimon. "...through the computer... ... what product do you use for your hair...?"

Kapurimon sighed as he heard Magnus say something behind them. Of course Ino didn't hear her. He turned his little body and spoke to Magnus. "Something wrong big sister?"

[reyn]

Magnus wasn't the only one who noticed that something weird was happening. Puroromon lifted his head and sniffed the air. Unlike Magnus, however, he did not become nervous. The small bee grinned from ear to ear as he looked towards the same direction that the black clad women was. His partner was more distracted by the strange girl circling about him. "Huh?" he asked as his silver eyes followed her as she slowly circled him. He wasn't sure what she was doing hand he found it rather odd. He tilted his head to the side as he listened to her or, at least, tried to. She had a funny way of speaking and it was hard for Masa to hear, especially with Puroromon's buzzing.

He eventually caught wind of what she was mumbling about. "Oh," he said as he reached up and placed his hands upon his glasses. "I forgot that I was even wearing these things." he said as he removed his reading glasses and tucked them away under the fold of his messenger bag. He rubbed the back of his head, believing that he had once again embarrassed himself. His hand stopped when the girl pulled out her Digivice for Masa to see. He walked over to it and carefully looked it over. Her's was a different shade than his, but besides that he could see no difference. As he inspected it a rather random question was raised. He looked at Ino from the corner of his eye before straightening up and grabbing a lock of hair. "What do I use?" he asked, his voice confused by how abruptly the question was asked.

"I don't know... shampoo..." Masa had no idea to be honest. He had never once cared about what kind of shampoo or conditioner he used. He wasn't one to care too much about personal appearances. "Why does it matter?" he found himself asking as he looked toward the strange girl... the shorter of the strange girls that he he had just met.

"Masa-masa," Puroromon said as he looked back at his tamer and smiled. "I smell something." With that Puroromon looked back and buzzed with anticipation. Masato looked around and could see nothing. He looked toward the other humans, wondering what it was that could have caught his bee's attention. Ino still seemed lost in her own world and Magnus she was looking in the same direction Puroromon was. Masa turned and squinted his eyes attempting to see what the others had but to no avail. Was there really something out there or was it just Magnus' nerves. But then, why would Puroromon say something? Masa bit his bottom lip as his grip on his D-3 tightened.

[magnus]

Magnus' gaze snapped from the sudden shift in the trees beyond her gaze, to see Ino pull out her blue digivice. She looked at her own digivice, which she had completely forgotten she was holding in a tight grasp. The metallic-like dark red color of the digivice seemed to reflect off the sunlight. She gave a 'hmph' as she looked at the little piece of technology with admiration. At the thought, flashes of the night in her room appeared in the back of her mind. The flashing digivice...her laptop. Somehow, both were connected. Without a word, she lifted the red and black digivice up and showed them all. Yes, she, too had one. Yet, it seemed Masa possessed a slightly different device. Possibly an upgrade?

But made her wonder even more, what other capabilities it had. Not only did it aid in her transportation to the Digital World, but it also started connecting to her digimon partner. It seemed to flash when it evolved. Or 'Digivolved', as he called it. She frowned in thought. It did spark her amazement, and now she was even more curious as to what else it could do....

'Reeeooowwwwwww......' A screech from the distance caused Magnus' head to snap back to that position. Now, she was sure she wasn't imagining it. But then she saw it. A large, snake-like digimon with wings. It's metallic head beaconed in the sunlight, which almost looked like a mask. It's large red wings had punctured holes in it, and became worn and torn on the edges. Like it was bred for battle. It's eyes red with rage. It has found us.

"Oh no! Its Airdramon! It found us!" Sunmon's eyes grew wide. Magnus remained standing where she was, highly intruged by this larger-looking digimon. Oh, yes. It was a beautiful thing. A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips, almost in a smirk. Finally, some action. "...Brace yourselves." Her tone was somewhat, calm, yet defiant. Oh, she was ready.

"...all I'm trying to say... is that you have very nice hair..."

Ino had been trying to keep from complimenting the young man since she hadn't been getting very positive responses from people in the digital world. Physical appearance seemed to be least of anyone's problems there, but she didn't want to think about it. Her eyes slowly narrowed, her body quivered as a familiar and unwanted feeling began to creep within her. It was the first physical sign of emotion she had allowed herself to show since arriving in this strange new world.

...I just want people to be happy...

She took in a sharp inhale, sounding like she may have began to cry. Ino was as still as she had been, but her face had scrunched up minimally.

...why do I have to be so weird...

...why can't I just say things normally like everyone else does...

..all I ever feel anymore are things that hurt...

Why was it whenever she kept things bottled up so long she began to feel this way at a time when it was completely inappropriate?

Ino's jaw clenched as she tried to hold back a quiet squeak. "...why..." was all that she was able to make her physical body say. Kapurimon felt his partner's body tense in her arms and looked up at her. "Ino...chama...? Are you cryi-"

Reeeooowwwwwww.....!

Ino turned her head, shaking off any negative feeling that had been creeping up on her due to the emotional discarding. She saw the large digimon, and was inwardly panicking. However, once again, her voice did not match the feelings inside. "...that's.... a big snake..."

Kapurimon watched it approach, tensing and unsure of what to do. Would it attack? Would attacking it first be a mistake? He was trying to be tactful before taking any action. But his blood became hot, ready for battle. He had to protect Ino-chama and the others! The ball of fluff leapt with all his strength out of her arms as a blue wave began to circle around his metal horns. "HOWLING HERTZ!!" he shouted as the tiny sound waved aimed for the large dragon.

Masa's eyes widened as he saw the massive digimon come out from behind the trees. "What is that?!" he asked, his voice frantic. He had known that there was something dangerous out there, just nothing that dangerous. His silver hues looked over the giant winged snake as he tried to figure out what would be the best way to run from it. His partner was doing the exact opposite though. Witnessing Kapurimon attempt to attack it and hearing Magnus' brave order had gotten the small bee all pumped up. His wings flapped incredibly fast as he prepared to charge the monster and sting it. Masa reached out, faster than he knew he could, and latched onto the bee's stinger. "No Puroromon! You can't fight that. It'll rip you to shreds." he said as his grip tightened. Puroromon turned towards Masa, his face the image of seriousness.

"Masa-masa, we can't run always. Big Airdramon is bigger and faster than us. We have to fight." he said as he turned to look at the larger digimon. Masa was taken back by how serious his digimon had become. He had never before seen the cockly bee use such a tone. Whether it was shock or belief in his partner Masa let go of Puroromon and nodded. Taking his digivice in hand Masa gave his digimon a weak smile. Something told him that things would be better as long as he had it in his grasp, like it would somehow channel his own power into the frail body of his digimon. Puroromon nodded as well as he dropped to the ground and flapped his wings furiously.

"At least we've got numbers on our side." he said as he looked to either side at the two other digidestined that were there with him. Together they'd definitely be able to stop that thing, even if it was bigger and possibly way stronger than there in-training digimon. Puroromon, being the only one of them that could fight the digimon on his own terrain, the sky, took to it. Puroromon weren't known as being the fastest in the sky but their sporadic way of flying and their ability to quickly change direction was top notch. There was no way Airdramon would be able to catch Puroromon as long as he kept his distance and as long as the others held his attention they could take it down.

Masa had to believe that. He had to put his faith into something otherwise he would have turned and ran right there. His faith lied in the fact that they had to work together if they wanted to make it back to their home.

[OOC: Feel free to have some control over Airdramon. He's for all of us to share ]

Magnus took a hefty step backwards; her neck craning up to get a good look at the giant red flying snake sailing towards them like a breeze. How could any of them miss a digimon as big as he was? And to think he was watching them the entire time. It only make her wonder what other insane creatures existed such as this. But this digimon amazed her to know it. Sure, it looked ready to kill, and would no doubt, even hesitate. But Airdramon...was just another stage. How far could digimon evolve? Surely this Airdramon was not the born in this form. No. Like Mokumon had digivolved into another stage. Perhaps Sunmon could transform as well?

She took a shifty glance at the digivice she grasped firmly in her hand. It felt warm to the touch. She felt the whirr of the mechanics within the device, like it was trying to work. How did it activate last time? She crinkled her brow. Dammit! She needed it to work! How was she able to accomplish that?

She watched as Kapurimon started to attack. It released an almost supersonic soundwave from it's tiny metal form, directed at the flying digimon. Yet, it seemed unaffected by the mere ounce of strength it possessed. Kapurimon could not do this on his own. Sunmon glanced from Kapurimon, to Puroromon, wondering what it should do. Even he knew he was not capable to anything at that point. He seemed helpess. He looked apologetically at his tamer. Oh, he felt so bad. He buried his head in her mass of black locks, trying to block out the scene. Why was it so scared? "If Kapurimon can do it....so can you. Sunmon - " She paused in mid-speech, wondering if she had the mental willpower to say it. She must admit. She had never had a partner before. A friend. "- I need your assistance." Sunmon took a few moments to gather his confidence. She was sure he had more guts than this. Whatever happened to the little energetic ball of flame? The puff of smoke it once was? Well, this little ball of flame was about to become a fiery fighting spirit.

It took Magnus a few moments to realise that her hand felt hot once again. She glanced down, and noticed her dark red and black digivice began to flash. The screen gave off light, as something within it's shell began to tick. The same thing that happened when Magnus was teleported to the Digital World. And the same thing had happened when Mokumon digivolved to Sunmon. It all happened way too quickly. Sunmon jumped from Magnus' shoulder, and landed almost gracefully and lightly on the ground. The little ball of flame has that little bit of spark to do what it needed too. Then, a light consumed Sunmon. "Sunmon, digivolve to........Coronamon!"

[/i] As the light vanished from his form, it was not a small floating sun that hovered there. That sun became a small fiery lion, much bigger than his previous form. He developed the same determined frown as Magnus did when in deep thought. A small flame burned on it's forehead, ready to fight. It was his next stage. Rookie form.

Magnus' nodded in anticipation. He was indeed a magnificent creature. "....Well done. Coronamon. Now, help our new allies out!" Coronamon automatically jumped in a defensive stance, and bawled his fist, "Already on it, Magnus -" He was already once step ahead of her. The fire on his head suddenly burned more intensly. Hopefully together with Puroromon and Kapurimon, they can bring this digimon down. "Corona Flame!!!!"[/i] The fire plummeted forward from his forhead in a little ball of flame, and shot towards Airdramon. Airdramon screeched again, this time much louder, but his speed increased, causing the attack to bounce off it's metallic head. Oh, dear.

Airdramon picked up so much speed, that Magnus immediatly ducked at the creature swooped meters above from their heads, as it turned its position into a wide arc, going in for another attack. "SPINNING NEEDLE!" Airdramon outstretched its wings, as several spears of metal rained down from it's wings, heading straight towards the three tamers and their digimon. "Everyone, watch out - " Magnus did not even raise her voice, but according to its tone, it was very watchful and sincere. No-one was about to die today.
