[[Enter Kazu and Terriermon from Spiral Tower]]
Kazu kept his head down as he made his way through the town. Even before he saw them, Digimon were staring at him with malicious grins on their faces. Terriermon gripped to Kazu's head.
"Couldn't we just fly outta here on MetalGarurumon? Heck even Imperialdramon in Dragon Mode?"Kazu sighed, he loved riding on the back of his Digimon, feeling the wind through his hair, watching the landscape breeze past beneath him.
"We can't Terriermon... Veemon is too exhausted from Network City to Digivolve that high and Metalgarurumon lent me too much of his power during our fight in Vaccine Sentinal Tower, so he's out as well."He rubbed his head, he was still walking through the town in rags, covered in blood. His ears fet cold without his headphones and his face felt funny without his glasses. He skirted around a rather large group of Ogremon, all of them giving him a funny look.
"But what if they jump us? I mean you look like such an easy target what with all those rips, tears and blood. Anyone looking for easy prey would think they hit the jackpot, plus you reek of Lucemon's castle. Knowing you've come from there would be enought to let anyone down here know that you've been through one hell of an ordeal already."Kazu nodded, what Terriermon said was true, though there wasn't much he could do at this point. Just as he came up the street he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Crap..."It was one of the Ogremon holding him. The rest of the gang of 5 was behind him.
"You two look tasty, beaten about a bit are we? I love meat that's been tenderised..."Kazu stared into the creep's snarling mouth. Something flickered about him and Terriermon.
"Now be a good little boy and---"He was cut short as Kazu's fist slammed into his stomach, a bright blue aura around his fist, the aura condenced for a second before it erupted as a pulse, shooting the Ogremon backwards into his gang of cronies. Kazu panted, sweat dripping from his brow, he shouldn't have used his Digi-Soul this early, especially shouldn't have manifested it as a weapon, after the incident at Lucemon's castle any use of Digi-Soul was exhausting for Kazu. He dropped to one knee and took long haggard breaths.
"Right... Won't be doing that for a while..."The Ogremon were returning to their feet.
"Terriermon, can you sort them?"Terriermon flipped off Kazu's head and landed perfectly, in part thanks to his ears acting like parachutes. Terriermon eyed up the 5 Ogremon and grinned, each drew a club out and snarled.
"No problemo. You saw what Chibomon could do as Magnamon in the Vaccine Sentinal Tower. Now I'll show you what I can do as Terriermon!"Kazu nodded and smiled at Terriermon.
"Do it buddy!"((
Music Please!))
The little rabbit took of at speed, leaping into the air he opened his mouth with and fired a rapid succession of 5 super-heated orbs of air at the Ogremon, he nailed the leader between the eyes and hit two others in the chest, the two Ogremon at the back of the pack had more time to react swinging their clubs and dispersing the air, Terriermon landed on one of the outstretched clubs and dove forwards headbutting one of the rear Ogremon in the face. It roared in pain and staggered backwards into the wall at the side of the street, the leader sun around, ignoring Kazu and going for his assaulter he swung the club high and brought it down towards Terriermon. The rabbit heard the swooshing of the club and backflipped into the air, the club brushed along his back tickling him as he made it out the way, the leader's club smashed his lacky slintering the club and knocking out the gang member. As Terriermon finished his jump's arc he had a perfect shot lined up, he inhaled deeply and fired another two shots of super-heated air at the leader, knocking him onto his face. The bunny landed and stuck his tounge out at the leader. In his confidence he seemed to have forgotten something, the three other gang-members. The had surrounded Terriermon and were swinging down, too late for the rabbit to react. Kazu grunted lurched forwards, he tripped and went sprawling, a deck of cards falling out of his pocket. Looking up he saw a card before him. "Aegis" it read and had a sheild picture on it. Kazu grabbed it then looked at his Digi-Vice. A groove running down the right-hand side, one Kazu had long overlooked suddenly made a lot of sense. He grabbed the card and Digi-vice looked at Terriermon and gritted his teeth.
"Digi-Modify! Aegis Activate!"The card and Digi-Vice glowed, 1's and 0's began swirling around Terriermon. The clubs were close now, ready to pummel the poor guy. The numbers suddenly solidified around Terriermon's arm. A silver sheild with gold trim and runes all over centered with the Digital Hazard symbol. The rabbit stared at it for the briefest of seconds before a giant grin spread across his face and he lifted it above his head. An almighty clang rang through the streets, anyone not already watching were now intently poking heads out windows and pausing on their daily strolls. A coffee house at the top of the street had most of it's inhabitants flood out to see what was going on.
"What's going on?"
"Dunno. A fight I hope"
"Outta the way fatty!"
"Careful or you'll start a bloody fight!"
"Oi who is it? D'we know 'em?"
"It's that Ogremon and his goons!"
The crowd of Virus Digimon would swarm out of the building, past a group of three Tamers and their Digimon in an attempt to get a better view of the fight.
Terriermon smashed the sheild down on the penultimate Ogremon's head. The goblin-esque Digimon crumpled to the floor. Only the leader was left. He growled at the small rabbit, who was huffing and panting at the effort of fighting 5 champions began to take it's toll. The leader roared and jumped at Terriermon, he had picked up two of the clubs his lacky's were using and was now aiming a two-pronged jump attack at the small rabbit. Terriermon gave a cocky grin and dove at him, lifiting the sheild up infront of him, so far it had proved to be nigh on inpregnable. As the clubs approached something went wrong. The sheild evaporated. It broke down into 1's and 0's and faded leaving the Digimon totally exposed. The leading Ogremon roared in triumph as he smashed the little rabbit with both his clubs. Terriermon was sent flying. Kazu leapt from the floor and caught him before he could crash into the floor. He was propelled back to the edge of the gathered crowd. Terriermon grunted and got back to his feet. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth and red scratches adjorned his body. He shook his head.
"I... I got this..."Kazu nodded. He'd found another card to help his friend.
"We'll finish this with one more blow ok? Just trust me and jump him again."Terriermon nodded and sprinted at Ogremon, ears billowing out behind him. Ogremon cackled manically,
"Stupid b*stard! I'll kill you both for this!"He ran at Terriermon and the two fighter jumped at each other at the same time. Kazu readied the card. He waited until there was no turning back for either party. Now!
"Digi-Modify! Twin Lance Activate!"He swiped the card and watched as 1's and 0's swirled around both Terriermon's hands. A burst of light and two lances appeared in the bunny's hands. A moment of puzzlement was replaced with joy as Terriermon realised what he was to do.
"Terrier-Tornado!"He burst into a spinning mass of cream and green. He extended the lances essentially becoming a vicious spinning top. Ogremon's face contorted in anger and fear as the buzz-saw like attack made quick work of his two clubs, reducing them to toothpicks in a split second. He tried to defend with his arms but Terriermon pushed on, blitzing into him and pushing him back through the air and into a wall, cracking it then pushing harder against it. The Ogremon roared in pain as the wall cracked more and more.
"Hiyah!!!"A final push from Terriermon caused the wall to explode. Dust filled the street for a few seconds. Emerging from the rubble was Terriermon, one lance slung over his shoulder, the other dragging non-chalantly from his side. The lances broke down into 1's and 0's as Terriermon approached his Tamer, leaping into his arms.
"I'd like to see Chibomon do that!"Kazu chuckled. All the Ogremon gang were strewn across the floor unconsious. The Leader had a bright red patch acros his chest, a nice scar into his coding.
"Serves him right for picking on people."Kazu turned around and was surprised to see a crowd of Virus types staring at him. Suddenly one of them clapped and the whole crowd began aplauding him, cries of congratulations were thrown about. A LadyDevimon approached and smiled warmly to Kazu and the nuzzling Terriermon.
"Congratulations, those 5 were causing us no end of problems. It's about time someone put them in their place. Come into my coffee house I'll get your friend patched up and you can both have a free pass to the coffee shack on the house."Kazu blushed and thanked the Digimon, following her into the coffee shop. He was seated at the bar and one of the Myotismon running the coffee machines fetched two cups of piping hot coffee, both with milk and two sugars, while LadyDevimon bandaged Terriermon's head, torso and right arm.
"There you go hunnies. Enjoy your stay, and here take this. Plus I'd reccomend that you get some new clothes".She returned to serving the buzzing customers with a wink and handed Kazu a card reading:
"Devil's Nest Coffee Shop: Life Pass"Kazu grinned and sipped his coffee, Terriermon did likewise. Both sighed with delight.
"We'll finish this and head out yeah?"Terriermon nodded. Kazu looked around, something caught his eye, he thought he saw a group of Tamers, two of them looking very familiar, but they were obstructed by a group of Digimon wanting to question Kazu on the fight. He laughed and engaged them in conversation. He thought back to the cards, he liked what they did, definatly something to consider in future. The cards seemed to adapt to the Digimon they were used on aswell, matching the size that was best for usage. Kazu grinned as the grou left him alone. He sifted through the deck and grinned.
"Just another new weapon we can use against Marcus..."
