---

Tatsuto Satou (855) has posed:
    Tatsuto is stood out on that small pier jutting out onto the lake, the Primary Village just behind him. The lake water has gone a deep grey, completely obscuring the bottom even a few feet out. The middle of the lake is so dark it looks more like ink than water.

    Plotmon is stood by the edge, barking at shadows. Meanwhile, the baby digimon are all huddled near the center of the Village, along with... a young girl? That must be Tatsuto's sister. She's doing her best to herd the babies into the houses, but, well, she's not the Guardian!

Beelzebumon (132) has posed:
     For once, Beelzebumon doesn't come riding in atop his hellish bike Behemoth. But that's because he was in fact here THE ENTIRE TIME! *DUN DUUUUUUN*

     Having stealthfully perched himself in one of the trees to a quick nap while Duke and Doran were having a meet'n'greet with Tatsuto earlier, the Demon Lord is already on hand to witness the strange event.

     (He was also on hand earlier to witness Duke getting all goofy over food. DON'T THINK THAT I WASN'T WATCHING YOU LIZARDBUTT!)

     When the lake goes black, the Demon Lord quirks an eye and flips himself over so that he's hanging from the tree branch by his legs, then points at the growing black spot in the lake, "I take it that's not normal for your digital World, is it?"

Golden (782) has posed:
    The small strange MetalMamemon has been setting up a meat farm for the Primary Village, planting some ham trees and bacon bushes. It's going to take awhile for them to get large enough to bear 'fruit', but it's a more sustainable crop than rows of root ribs and steak stalks. It felt good to be doing something so familiar to him.
    But the lake goes dark and funny, and Golden is standing on the shoreline watching it. "I don't think it's normal on most worlds." he comments to Beelzebumon. He leans down (it's not a very big change for the little digimon) to peer into the lake, looking for some sign of what's causing the disturbance.

Duke has posed:
Duke had heard the barking and the red Guilmon X was quickly on the move to head over to the water's edge. It was instinctive for him really, down in that DigiCore of his. Where there was trouble, he would respond, at least-- that is what they were suppose to do... until, well, things. The red dragon-raptor makes his way to the edge of the pier and looks at the location.

His gold eyes taking a stern look as he tries to solve what it is that is out there, he even takes a sniff at the air, but the water masks the smell. His tail twitches a few times, "This can't be good." Then Beelzebumon speaks up and the Guilmon X looks over at him. "When did /you/ get here?!" He says with a huff of his cheeks.

Doran (695) has posed:
That was a good meal. Too bad /something/ just had to interrupt a pretty relaxing day!

Doran is back in the town center, helping Tatsuto's sister in trying to convince the Baby Digimon to go and stay in their houses. The others will no doubt be paying close attention to the waters, so he'll play defense and make sure the Village's occupants stay safe.

Duke has posed:
Duke then realizes that Golden is also here and his body just shudders before he flails in the air, "What are any of you doing here!" Before he huffs out some smoke. "...whatever, at least we have some firepower..."

Beelzebumon (132) has posed:
     "Long enough to see you acting like a lovestruck puppy over food," Beelzebumon retorts with a wide, mischevous :3 look on his face.

Duke has posed:
"... If there was not children here." Duke snipes back to the Demon Lord.

Gaonoir has posed:
    Houses left broken and burning, if not derezzed entirely from the plain of reality. Most of the occupants reduced back to digitama to be infused with darkness code and turned into Virus types.. If they were the ones lucky enough to not being simple killed to absorb their code directly. He didn't even remember the faces of the Demon Army soldiers that were there, just seeing their dark forms with glowing eyes as the few survivors were being led off in digital chains.
    That wasn't here. Yet, thankfully. But that was the images still burning into the back of his mind, all too vivid as the small form darted from shadow to shadow between the houses.
    For all the dispicable things the Beast of Shadow had done in the name of his digital god, potentially destroying the lives of those too young to even know what war they had been brought into was not one of them. Not after what had happened, not after the all too vivid sight he had returned to from training that one day...

    Maybe that had been why he had claimed the core of the samurai bird but spared his young unevolved brother...

    But no one would know save the Beast himself, hunching down in the shadows at the edge of the Villiage, focused on the lake...

Golden (782) has posed:
    Golden just gives Duke an exasperated look and gestures towards the farm. "I've been here awhile, planting."

Tatsuto Satou (855) has posed:
    Waff waff! goes Plotmon, as the shadow suddenly darts back towards that ink-lot-looking spot in the middle of the lake.

    "No, this is ABSOLUTELY not... normal..." Tatsuto starts to answer, before peering at Beelzebumon. "When did -you- get here?" Blink blink.

    Tatsuto is so distracted by Beelzebumon's appearance that he doesn't even notice the blue, fish-like Digimon rising up from the water to just... stand on the surface. Staring towards the shore. Plotmon barks louder though!

Beelzebumon (132) has posed:
     "... Really? Did no one notice the 8 foot, leather-clad biker demon snoozing in one of your trees? Geez, no wonder you guys ask me to come along to safeguard your tails in case Yggdrasil's cronies showed up. you jokers wouldn't notice them until they ran up and bit you," comes Beelzebumon's reply, before he flips out of the tree and lands on his feet, then points at the middle of the lake.

     "By the way, we got company."

Golden (782) has posed:
    Golden peers at the Hangyomon. "Hey... fishlips. You gonna just stand there and stare or are you gonna say hello?" He shouts to the strangely silent digimon.

Duke has posed:
"A Hangyomon?" Duke says as he watches the Digimon revel himself and with his eyes narrowing sharply those gold eyes go from a child-like innocence to a much more battle hardened warrior. "Hey! Hangyomon!" The Guilmon X calls out, "You're scaring the children! So why don't you just go back to diving someplace else!"

The outsider of this world has no idea what he is looking at, oh he knows the digimon species-- but not how things work here or how unnatural this is. However, those who can sense power may sense Duke's own DigiCore preparing itself to Warp Digivolve in the Perfect even decides to make an aggressive move.

Gaonoir has posed:
    First darkened water, now a Hangyomon? This does not bode well at all. Yes, different Digital World, but that is no reason to disregard the possible connections until they are proven to not be true.

    A gloved paw clenches... but Gaonoir is restraining himself to watching. For now.

    He's not entirely sure which side he's going to be punching yet, after all.

Doran (695) has posed:
Doran winces abruptly as his Digital Interface flickers. That buzzing between his ears, the piercing migrane between his eyes... Gaonoir is nearby. He's got no idea what's going on at the lake, exactly, but the presence of the shadowy Yggdrasil puppy is bad enough.

"We're out of time," he mutters to himself, his eyes constricting to cat-like slits. He redoubles his efforts to get the village Digimon into safety, casting worried looks towards the lake... and around at the surrounding area, as well.

Tatsuto Satou (855) has posed:
    The Hangyomon just stares at the Digimon (and human) gathered at the lake's edge. Tatsuto raises one hand. "Oh, hello! Sorry, you kinda... startled us. Are you here to visit, or...?"

    The Hangyomon approaches. Without moving its feet. It just seems to glide along the surface, as if suspended on a wire. Plotmon growls and backs away - and the other Digimon collected in the area may be getting a rather uneasy feeling. Something about this Digimon is... -wrong-.

    The Hangyomon stops just a few yards from the pier, still staring. Then, one hand raises its harpoon...

Gaonoir has posed:
And that is when the shadows at the edge of the villiage seem to explode as the dark form erupts out of them in a blitzing launch towards the lake.

... And likely to the surprise of everyone gathered there hurtles -past- Duke and Beelzemumon to aim a flying punch square into Hangyomon! He may of just gotten punched by a Child stage digimon... but thanks to his modified code Gaonoir hits like a strong level Adult, if not more.

Rebounding off his attack maneuver the dark canine backflips onto the shore of the lake, skidding to a stop in a three-point crouch. "Back the fuck off, fish face. Even *I* don't go around terrorizing kids."

Golden (782) has posed:
    Golden runs over to the pier and puts himself between the Hangyomon and others, arm cannon raised and warmed up with a glowing barrel, aiming at the Hangyomon.
    "You oughta reconsider what you're doing, pal. If you're looking for food we got plenty to spare. We got lots to spare if you're looking for trouble too." Golden says, challenging the weird hangyomon. Golden looks startled as Gaonoir appears like lightning from a clear sky to strike the fishy digimon in front of him.

Duke has posed:
Duke's eyes narrow sharply as he watches the Digimon move in, but how it was moving in. "This isn't natural at all... this is /all/ wrong." Duke looks over to Tatsuto, "Take Plotmon and get to safety!" Oh right, another 'Child' Digimon telling a human what to do.

However, this becomes obvious why as Duke steps away and around, as his whole body starting to glow and possibly affecting the digital area around him. With a flare of digital light, the Guilmon X's digital body rips apart within the light before reassembling with great force to become a fifteen foot cyborg beast that takes into the air: A War Growlmon X!

The Cyborg Digimon hovers up in the sky before his gold, cybernetic eyes zoom in on the target and then takes aim with its arms as the blasters charge up. Soon blue plasma streaks fired out from the ports on the claw hands, attempting to bombard the strange digimon below in the water.


Then he spots Gaonoir, "Gaonoir!" The robotic voice calls over to, "What are /YOU/ doing here?"

Beelzebumon (132) has posed:
     There is something just inheritedly /wrong/ about that Digimon, and whatever it is, it sets Beelzebumon's teeth on edge, and his hand drifts slowly towards the Berenjena Shotgun strapped to his leg.

     To his credit, the Demon lord doesn't so much as flinch as Gaonoir rushes right past him to slug the Hangyomon, nor does he look surprised in the slightest. Instead he just grins in that cocky manner that is so characteristic of him.

     "Well, seems the Shadowmutt has a heart after all. How touching."

Tatsuto Satou (855) has posed:
    Just as it's raising its harpoon, the Hangyomon finds itself punched in the face-body by a Gaomon with far too much strength behind its punches. Golden's attack comes so quickly after that that its hard to tell that the Hangyomon barely reacted to the punch at ALL.

    Duke's attack, however, leaves it... Full of holes. Just clean through its body, as if it were a picture someone took an eraser tool to. Within the holes, by the edges, a weird black smokey substance can be seen...

    Being full of holes doesn't really seem to slow it down any, though, as it promptly hurls its harpoon towards, not one of the Digimon that attacked it, but directly at Tatsuto! The teen doesn't really have time to react, while Plotmon yelps and runs, but she's not fast enough...!

Beelzebumon (132) has posed:
     The harpoon hurtles forth, its arc aimed true as it spears straight towards tatsuto's heart!

     And then with a thunderous /BANG/, a single shot rings out, and the deadly projectile goes careening off to one side as a solid slug from one of Beelzebumon's shotguns blasts it out of the air.

     Then like a gunslinger at high noon, the Demon Biker strolls forth, twirling his shotgun around on one finger before drawing its twin from the holster on his back, then steps in front of Tatsuto as he glances back with a grin.

     "there. Now will you get off my back about the puppy kicking?"

Golden (782) has posed:
    "Can't we all just get along?!" Golden exclaims as the blue and white fish-like 'mon is attacked and attacks somebody who hasn't been involved thus far. How annoying.
    The MetalMamemon opens fire, spheres of energy hurtling towards the weirdo, exploding where they come into contact with something that has more resistance than air. He leaps and bounces through the air as he fires, keeping a steady stream of energy bombs bombarding the hangyomon and the surrounding area to keep the digimon off-guard.

Gaonoir has posed:
    A faint smirk tugs at one corner of Gaonoir's muzzle. "Don't get all touchy-feely on me, demon lord. But even I have.. reasons for thinking a spawn village should be off limits." Which sort of backwardly answers Duke as well.

    The Hangyomon doesn't appear slowed down by the punch or the holes in its body. That gets a brow raised, especially at the smoky effect. He.. kind of does that himself when damaged, just all black and oozy instead of smoke. "Huh. Guess I'm not the only one that does that sort of thing." The injury doesn't stop the thing from throwing his harpoon, either... Eh, don't really care about the human, it's the home of the young digimon he's concerned about.

    You know that spike of energy that happens when Digimon evolve? That happens... except the charge is all dark and shadowy, and not that he can pay much attention to it at the moment Satou's Digivice is probably going spaz out at the wrongness of the code that's nearly as bizarre as the Hangyomon's.

    It doesn't help that there's also a spike of electrical disruption in itself when as the form shift dies off Gaonoir's now Perfect form bellows "HOOOWLBAAACK CANNON!" and fires an electrically charged sonic blast from his mouth at the fishmonger in doing so.

Duke has posed:
Duke was too far away to protect the human and the only he can think about at that moment is why do these damn humans never listen! He told the kid to run! Thankfully, Beelzebumon comes to the rescue and actually does something /good/ for once. It actually causes Duke to 'huh' softly in some mild, but good surprise.

Maybe the former Royal Knight was rubbing off on him....

....

Its probably something not to be thought onto hard right now, given the circumstance and a situation Duke brings his attention back to the battle at hand and the realization that this /thing/ just tried to /kill/ a human. A living being. That was not something he was simply going to let happen... Enough blood was already on his own hands and he would not let this village become another victim of not proper action.

With his thrusters going into full overdrive, he goes to rush right down for the much smaller 'Digimon', only mentally noting the odd darkness smoking out from the holes. As he gets in closer, his body takes another glow again without missing a beat. The water might even become displaced as the power is gathered from another Digievolution.

And the light flashes away just as Duke goes to ram right into whatever the hell this Digimon /was/. Perhaps timing this very strike just in time with Goanoir's electrical attack. Though Duke may need to remind himself later that this could be a /very/ bad idea.

Tatsuto Satou (855) has posed:
    Tatsuto stares at the harpoon is blasted off course by -Beelzebumon- of all Digimon. Plotmon runs to his side and -growls- at the weird not-Digimon!

    Gaonoir and Duke's final attacks seem to do the trick, though. No matter how durable this thing is - getting hit by those attacks just obliterates its body. It bursts into a spray of black particles, which scatter through the air before sinking down into the lake.

    The lake... remains dark. But there's no more shapes moving about in it...

Gaonoir has posed:
Gaonoir waves a metal-clad hand at the still darkened water, though he's more indication the -thing- that just sunk back into it in bits instead of data-motes like most digimon would. "And you guys think *I* am sick and wrong? At least I'm actually a digimon still!"

Golden (782) has posed:
    Golden hrms and peers at the lake. "Hey kid, is there something you can do to turn the lake back to normal? I gotta bad feeling about this." He gestures towards the dark waters within it.

Tatsuto Satou (855) has posed:
    Tatsuto is kinda staring in shock. "I... that..." He shakes his head. "That... That was the same Digimon that killed the last Guardian. I... think. I don't recognise that species... But Plotmon beat it last time! So why did it take so much punishment this time?"

    He kinda stares out over the water. "I... I don't know. Maybe? I'll... try to ask around and stuff..."

Beelzebumon (132) has posed:
     "I can see that you're stunned into silence because I'm just that amazing," Beelzebumon jests as he twirls his shotguns around and holsters them once more, before looking around at the various gathered Digimon (and humans), "Please, hold your applause.

Duke has posed:
The enemy vanishes under the heavy handed attack by the Yggdrasil Loyal and the former Royal Knight. This leaving the question of....

...Where did Duke go?

As the knight doesn't surface right away, but soon a black hand reaches out on the pier, the claws digging into the woodwork and then another arm comes up to prop himself up with the white part of the armor tarnished by the dark water. Slow, A Medieval Dukemon pulls himself out of the water and then just lays there for a bit on the deck work. "... Remind me to never do that again..."

He then slowly pushes himself up, resting then a hand on his knee, and goes to stand up fully. "Damn water is seriously off..." Which was easy for everyone to also tell given his armor looked tarnished, lack of some color, and didn't look all to healthy as data goes.

Gaonoir has posed:
    "Hangyomon," Gaonoir replies. "Member of the Deep Sea Divers family... Or, more accurately, that was the form it was taking. That was clearly not a digimon."

    He just tilts his head a bit as Duke climbs out of the water, looking like someone added a fade filter to his render. "I think that's a good indicator you don't want to be swimming out there. Or drinking it."

    His jet-pods extend and ignite, though at first just lifting him far enough off the ground to hover. "And as much as I would love to kick you while you're down, Dukey, that would go against what I said earlier about picking fights around kids too young to know what's going on."
