Exploration Encounter [R]

It seemed they were at a disadvantaged against this huge beast, it didn't need to be said even if that was a possibility. With the fog around them and their attention and focus being on their attacks towards whatever area they could hit that would cause damage Valar, Nymeria and Summer all had the same feeling. They were worried, not for their own safety but of their Tamer; deep within their core they were protective of that girl from the start, brought her into their close nit family within seconds of meeting each other. That was the usual for relationships between a Digimon and their Tamer on the bottom line. Each one knew they'd be fine against this Champion, not in terms of winning the match but by the concept of 'death' their Tamer had questions a few times with them in privacy. The life of a Digimon was different and though they couldn't see her life being anything other way than their own they could never answer the questions regarding the subject.

They attentions drifted to the two Digimon outside their pack as they attacked, each of them launching their own assault on the Champion level Digimon to further the overall damage. Summer hit his backside, Nymeria taking the normal beast like arm, while Valar hit it's uncovered vulnerable shoulder. The cry of pain that echoed through the foggy room rang in their ears causing each to flatten down to their skulls in attempts to lower its piecing volume. The sound of the ground being hit with something hard and with force took the trio by surprise though watching it's bulky shadow explained to them quickly what the Digimon was trying to do. Through exact name and effect was beyond their knowledge the outcome seemed rather grim. Whatever it was planning seemed huge, much more dangerous then it had done prior.

Worry swept through their expressions for a brief moment in regards to their Tamer and, though a bit, for the boy she had befriended. They're care would only reach so far for a stranger though any traumatic loss before her eyes would result in pain for the girl, this they knew for certain.



If her eye sight wasn't bad enough the fog that stayed around her was making her feel even more blind. Rubbing her eyes from behind her glasses carefully her attention peaked as the makeshift team attacked the large figure they circled. The screech of pain sent a wave of hope and joy through her, a smile spreading on her chapped lips as her mind momentarily forgot the burning in her chest. It was odd to mentally cheer when hearing cries of pain but in this situation she thought it was appropriate to some extent. This creature would kill her, Theo and their Digimon is able to, or at least this was the outcome she stubbornly kept in her head.

Her hands shook as the noise from it's demon arm plunged into the ground erupted and cut it's pained howl. Her hope and joy faded slightly away, the burning from her lack of breathing clawing once again at every nerve ending it could get to. Her body was feeling weak and her mind hazed just like the fog obscuring her vision. It was beginning to fade away though it was clear it'd take its time and fear of even a little of it in her system kept her mouth closed shut and air ways burning. Hearing foot steps to the side of her Kate blinked, her head clearing for a moment as she turned to watch Theo's figure emerge towards her, only to fall to the ground in what she could easily assume to be exhaustion.

Clamping her hand over her mouth Kate resisted the urge to say the boys name and ask if he was alright; instead she crouched to the ground, her hand laying on his shoulder as she stared down at him. She wanted to speak though doing so would result in her breathing the toxic air. A small whimper left her throat softly though it was something better than silence.



Frustration formed in the packs mind, each trying to come up with something to do in order to stop it from continuing with its move. As the two thought it was Nymeria that came up with a possible solution before the others in her pack. The fog around her and the rest of the Digimon was fading, the silhouette of the Champion they faced now showed it's color rather than its once lack of detail shadow. A small growl emerged from the Psychemon's parting lips before it charged forward, launching itself up from the ground on four legs before slamming into the beasts unprotected arm with her horn. This was dangerous, that she knew deep in her mind under the emotions she felt, but something – anything – needed to be done.

This wasn't just a normal move, a normal attempt to damage the creature using her horn; this was a special move of her own. Energy seeped from the sharp horn as it penetrated the beasts arm, flowing through its system rapidly as it howled yet again in pain. It's body dropped suddenly from the drug like effects of the data from her horn, it's large mass falling onto the arm penetrated into the ground as it shook its head in attempts to straighten its mind. Pulling her horn from its arm Nymeria jumped back only to be hit with the arm she had hurt, flinging her body back against a wall with force. A whimper left her jaws as she fell to the ground, sand and rock fragments from the area she had impacted falling on top of her unconscious body.

Summer and Valar stared in silence as their pack mate was launched into the wall by the disoriented beast they fought against. Rage washed through them, acting as fuel that charged them forward at the Digimon. Summer clawed onto it's back, biting at its flesh with her sharp, jagged teeth as her fiery claws dug and scratched every inch she could reach. Valar slid himself towards the penetrated demon arm still resting on the ground, aiming his flaming claws at the Digimons vulnerable sides in stabbing and clawing motions. There was no plan of attack, no warning to the other team or even to each other. They were a family, messed up and odd as it may be at times, and seeing one of them attacked as they did sent the remaining over the edge.



Watching over Theo, her attention barely on the Digimon in front of her due to the boys reappearance she couldn't help but feel relived to a certain extent. She had been worried about the boy ever since he charged to this area and to retrieve the bat-like Digimon still held in his arms. A small smile was on her lips, a smile that formed into a worried and shock ridden frown as the whine of one of her Digimon echoed through the room. Her head shot up, desperately trying to get a glimpse of what had happened as she stood up. The fog around her was fading, though she dared not to breath it in still, and because of that her eyes found Nymeria's body falling to the ground. Both hands clasped over her mouth and one another as she held back a need to call for her by name and run to her; in the back of her mind away from the worry and fear taking over she knew this must have been, at least to some extent, how Theo felt when he saw his Digimon. She didn't know what to do, her eyes flowing to her still Digimon and the rest of her frenzied pack now attacking the beast as much as they could. Her foot took a step before returning back to where it was prior. Her mind was hazy, her body weak from lack of oxygen and her emotions clouding whatever clarity she held onto.
