(Rp time: It’s one of the golden winged horses from the knights. It’s standing alone drinking it’s fresh water while the other horses are occupied. It’s staring back towards you. What are you going to do? Sabotage it? Comfort it? Steal it? O-o Don't steal it. xD)
After completing the Dice challenge the Human passed through the gate and gazed around the arena. He wore black leather pants and a jacket left open, over a padded, blue protective shirt. Around his left wrist was an oversized silver watch like object that looked not entirely unlike a Digivice. Over his left shoulder was a brown leather strap that supported the letter carrier style bag that hung by his right hip. Around his neck was a leather strap that supported a silver pendant in the shape of a dragon’s claw. Held within the molded talons was a small marble sized blue orb that seemed to give off a faint light.
Gage was approached by one of the event workers who was carrying some second hand gear and accompanied by a Unimon that was he would never be able to tame into a compatible partner by the time the competition starts. Gage passed on the armor and weapons, and politely bows to the Unimon,
“I’m afraid that your services will not be necessary my friend, however I thank you for the kind offer.” Raising his head he turned to the event worker,
“It appears the other Knights have brought their own Equipment. If I might be allowed, I would ask to do the same.” The Event worker shrugged and turned away. Gage smiled and called out to the shadow that was looming in from behind the Arena gate,
“Well Ex, are you ready?”The cloth patrician flopped open and a Veemon tumbled into the hall landing next to the tamer,
“Knew I'z there da whole time, huh?” the tiny blue dragon with the horned nose asked his human partner. Gage only smiled and began walking toward the main stage.
On their way, the pair passed by the arena stables. Several of the stalls were empty however there was one digimon present, quietly drinking from a trough in order to build up its strength for the next match. Gage looked at the tags on the stall and suddenly realized that this was the horse that belonged to the opponent he was scheduled to fight in the next round. Arching a brow he looked the creature over, it was a Pegasusmon, golden wings, armor plating, and fast both on land and in the air. Gage knew a great deal about this digimon. His first digimon partner was a patamon after all, and he had made the effort to study all the potential digivoultions a patamon could take. However, his partner had never learned to become a Pegasusmon, mostly due to the fact that Gage did not have access to the Digi-Metal of Hope.
Gage pressed two fingers to his right eyebrow and gave the winged stallion a friendly salute,
“I wish you luck my friend.” He said to the Pegasusmon as he turned and began to slowly walk toward the arena again.
“Ex, why don’t we show him what he’s up against?” the human whispered to the Veemon tailing behind him. Gage was much to Honorable to try to sabotage his opponent’s horse, however he was not above a display of power to psych out his competition. The tiny blue dragon gave his friend the thumbs up, and while Gage was unable to see this he could feel that his partner was prepared.
Gage then thrust his left hand over his head reaching up toward the sky,
“Storm Armor... ENERGIZE!!” The digivice around his wrist projected a beam of energy into the air above him. Within the data stream materialized an ovular spheroid of black metal with a lightning bolt shaped protrusion, on its surface was imprinted the crest of Friendship.
Behind the human, Veemon responded to the appearance of the object by emitting a powerful cerulean glow. The small dragon leapt into the air and gasped the Digi-Metal pressing it into its chest, there was a small flash as the digimon was enveloped in a cascade of data,
“Veemon, Armor Digivolve to...” the digi-metal began to melt into a black, liquid-like substance as it melded over the small dragon’s body, coating it completely. The Veemon's form began to expand, converting from biped to quadruped, and continuing to grow until it had surpassed its original height three times over.
The black liquid mass came crashing down on the surface in front of the Human, four large claws digging into the ground. The fluidic metal began to harden over the legs and torso sealing the four-legged dragon in digizoid armor, blacker then the rage of the coming storm. Yellow marks running down either side of the digimon’s body looked like teeth. The exposed portions of the digimon’s skin were blue and white scales, reminiscent of the Veemon that it had just evolved from. A long blue tail dragged through the dirt as it turned around to face the human, a sheet of energy passed over the digimon skull coating its face in a metallic black mask with a lightning bolt shaped horn growing out of its center. From its back, three more lightning bolt shaped spike burst forth, all jet-black. The digimon reared its head back and with a powerful voice, thundered its new name,
“Raindramon!”Gage grasped one of the black spikes and used it to pull himself up onto the digimon's back.
“Lets Go Excalibur!” he said to his partner. Raindramon charged off toward the main stage at a steady gallop.
“We are here to represent the Core Guard Ex, we do not want to disappoint!” Gage lifted his right hand up to the orb shaped pendant handing from his neck. The small marble disappered and in his hand materialized a much larger sphere of pulsating blue energy, the Digi-Core of Azulongmon, A treasure that Gage had received after he saved Azulongmon’s egg when the great sovereign was slain by Nagato all those months ago. the human squeezed the orb in his hands,
“Core Saber!” he called out as the sphere exploded into tiny particles of light which quickly gathered into a long rod, a Sword made of pure energy. With Weapon in hand and Raindramon to carry him, Gage was prepared for whatever Gallantmon was going to throw at him.

Pegassusmon neighed flinging it’s golden plated hooves into the air. It’s wings fluttered, blowing loose hay from the ground. He had seen something that no other tamer had the courage to do. A tall Gallantamon was leaning against the wall, hidden to overhear Gage’s pledge. His eyes closed as he snickered. The knight appeared beside the pegasusmon calming it with his presence. “A tough one he will be.” The knight spoke softly at the golden armored mythical creature. Pegassusmon looked back at the trail that couple left, as if they had marked their name within their territory yet the battle hasn’t begun. The knight patted the hearses head as he settled onto the hoarse.
“Let us go my friend.” The Gallantamon steered the muted pegasusmon towards the gates where a large crowd awaited their final dual and one tamer who never hesitated to take a risk. The peggasusmons blue eyes stared at the two pair, why was it so fascinating to see the two?
“Uh, Miss Sheriti?” A small Tentomon approached the judge. She wore a somewhat large hat in celebration of the festival, she was well known as the calm butterfly, for being the judge. “Yes? What is it?”
The red ladybug nervously looked down, “Uh, um, was it alright to let him do that? I mean a dog facing against a hoarse?”
The brunet tamer smiled giggling, “Really? I say it’s fine. I mean a dog facing a hoarse? You can’t really judge that now can you?” Sheriti giggled thinking back to the animals in the real world. “Rules never said you had to use a Unimon.”
“Hey!” The past contenders shouted below the stand. The girl tamer shrugged. “Well it’s not like you guys gave any effort to even tame the Unimon!”
The gallantamon was in the heat of the moment, charging his lance as the other charged his sword. The Pegassusmons eyes were shrap and it gave one last thrust before the last second. The crowd remained still, quiet, emotionless. A small cit was made by the Gallantamons armor by his waist. He had lost!
The peggasusmon though had followed Gage once everything passed. It stood hidden near a shed waiting for him.
