Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hearing the voice that he recognizes as Vademon, the tourney commentator, Neirin mostly tunes him out until he hears something about 'a boy whose name I can't pronounce'... Gaze darting beadily up to the floating extraterrestrial, he gives him a bemused stare. "...HEY. HEY YOU, BUG-EYES. It's NEIRIN. 'NEAR-INN.'" he says irritably, allowing himself a smirk as he grabs his goggles from where they hang around his neck, snapping them into their rightful place on his forehead. "Y'all'd do well to remember that name...!"

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Rytharax is charging after Armadillomon in hot pursuit, pupils dilated and eyes burning madly as he rushes his opponent down in a raging haze... "YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME!!" he roars as he chases down his prey, beating mercilessly on Armadillomon's weakened shell with a well-aimed chop of his arm. "WHO'S TOYING WITH WHO NOW, HUH?! WHO'S TOYING WITH WHO?!?"

Armadillomon was wounded badly. This had been Lance's biggest mistake so far. ''Damn it. We might lose because of this! Retreat farther!''The Armadillomon ran as fast as he could away from the Monodramon fearing defeat.

Armidillomon still panicking started to roll up into a ball trying to defend itself, ''For the spirit of earth you sure are one big baby. Well, just don't make me look bad.Use Hard Brick!'' Armadillomon began to glow bright yellow and soon his shell was tougher than steel. ''Get away from him!'' Armadillomon began rolling towards a safe area still glowing bright yellow.

((OCC: We can come in to comment but not to often. Do not take this is negative pretense))
Kaizer runs into the stands hardly breathing almost out of breath.
"Yeah!!! We made it in time to see Lance."
"Well if you didn't stop for a snack we would have been here by now."
"My bad a man has to eat. Well that isn't the matter now we have to cheer on Lance.Go Lance!!"
"Yeah your right. Go Lance!!!"

Both Neirin and Rytharax blink in disbelief as Armadillomon dashes well more than halfway to the opposite side of the arena almost in the blink of an eye.
"Wow. Um... I guess he had somewhere to run to after all."
"I haven't even seen Tsunami move that fast at snack time."
"Yeah... U-um well, snap out of it!" he demands both of himself and Rax, "This is no time to get complacent, follow him!"
"Right!"

Neirin frowns irritably as Armadillomon... Much though he wish it were not so, he starts to feel the battle's length wearing on him, so much so that he doesn't even stop Rytharax from running angrily after him when the little dragon loses his temper...
"You... Coward...!! COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MON, YOU BIG WUSS!" he snarls angrily, putting on his own burst of speed and dashing up alongside Armadillomon...

In his temperamental rush to catch up with Armadillomon, Rytharax is completely caught off guard by the maneuver that follows...

As he dashes alongside his opponent, the violent Monodramon readies his teeth and claws to deliver the violent beating that will end this match once and for all... but what he did not expect was for Armadillomon to skid and sharply turn, body tucked into ball form and rolling full-force toward Rytharax like a hurtling boulder... Rax is slammed by the full force of the attack, being practically flattened under its power and momentum... Arms pinned underneath him and preventing him from landing the final blow with his Beat Knuckle attack, all Rytharax can do is bare his fangs and bite down as hard as he can... "Bonecrack... Bite!" But with Armadillomon rolling as fast as he is his teeth can hardly get a grip on anything, and his fangs are smashed and chipped by his opponent's rock-hard shell... Finally, dazed and nearly beaten senseless, Rax barely manages to get his teeth ahold of something and he bites down, HARD, halting Armadillomon's momentum....

It all happened so fast that Rikun barely had time to blink and realize what had just happened. Armadillomon had been baiting them, clearly... He could even tell, but like an idiot he allowed Rytharax to rush ahead into danger, which was exactly what he had been cautioning his partner against when the match began.... But somehow, they had emerged victorious, as his Monodramon shakily gets to his feet, releasing Armadillomon's face from his teeth....

As he steps down from the Tamer platform, still angry with himself for slipping so much, and yet bewildered and awestruck to have actually won, Neirin looks up to see his competitor waiting for him at the arena's exit doorway, holding his hand out to shake. Blinking in surprise, the young tamer slowly musters up a smile and shakes. "It was close, you guys should be proud," Neirin replies quietly, reverting to his usual, more introverted manner. "I get the feeling you definitely could have beaten me, but you weren't quite focusing..." he says, cocking his head curiously. "I'm sure you'll do better in your next battle. And I need to do better too, I was starting to get sloppy there at the end," he says, tapping the side of his head with a smile before letting Lance go as the other tamer heads for the exit...

Hopping down from the arena as well, Rytharax trots over to stand at Neirin's side, heavily-battered and well-humbled by his first taste of real combat. "...Hey. Human. 'Spear', or whatever your name is," the little dragon Digimon grunts, addressing him, and Neirin looks down at him in surprise... ".....he was a worthy opponent. You can tell him I said that," he growls quietly, surprising Neirin with his humility. "We'll fight better next time, and win for you guys too," he adds, holding a fist out to Lance to which Neirin smiles and agrees, mirroring the pose that Rax had picked up from him.

((I actually had something super-epic I was gonna have Monodramon say but I forgot what it was. ~___~ Thought it might be funny to have him say that he forgot but decided against it. xP
GG Lk, it was close. Well... I guess it's time for the next matchup!))
