Welcome to Gaia! ::

Temp's face grew a little solemn at his predicament. It appeared that by running he may have just gotten into the situation he was trying to avoid. Temp didn't know if he could fight these things, but he had to thi-

A blue blur flashed past Temp bringing him out of his trance. "Tail SMASH!" The sudden exclamation was soon followed by a momentous slap from Ashu's tail over the head of the Shamanmon bearing the hammer. The Dracomon hopped back then inhaled a big gulp of air.

"Baby Breath!" the little dragon announced with his next attack. A hot ball of smoke and small embers shout from his mouth and collided with the other Shamanmon. Ashu turned and jumped up on top of Temp's head.

"Told you it would have been better to run. All they understand is fighting," Ashu told his friend
"Hmmm...how unfortunate," Temp muttered. "I don't remember how to fight... Sure wish I could talk with them."

Ashu smiled to himself as the two ran off. He was worried about having to fight the Fugamon, but apparently he was off the hook this time. But he was still worried about the SHADOW WereGarurumon (xD) that they had left behind.

"I say we keep moving! We don't know whether or not we're being tailed," Temp proposed. "On top of that, if those thugs really are involved with the beast, it's a guarantee who they'll be running for...eh?" He looked down at his pocket, which was vibrating and beeping like some child's toy. But it was the "digivice", as Dracomon had called it, flashing and making noise. Temp looked at its screen, and then it gave off a projection.

It featured a ring and arrow that whizzed around in different direction. The background was grid-like, and different colored dots were moving in every which way.

"What is it Temp?" Ashu asked as he hopped back on his Tamer's head.

"Ahck! You know, you're small and cute, but still a little heavy ya'know..." Temp mentioned. "I think it's...a compass...no" Temp tried to remember the correct word for the device. "Radar! It's a radar. See, look. These two unmoving dots right next to each other are us I think." Temp poked at the radar where the red and blue dots were. "These three moving in the other direction must be the digimon were fought earlier. And then this black one here that's moving towards us is...uh-oh." The black dot speedily moved across the grid towards Ashu and Temp's dots.

"We have to run!"Ashu yelled. "Where's the exit for this place, huh!?" As if the digivice understood the dragon, the projection enlarged for the whole town and directed an arrow towards a destination. "Right then," Temp muttered as he looked up in the arrows direction. "Let's get going!" The boy ran through the alleys frantically, and fortunately didn't run into anymore digimon. He eventually came out onto the street again, and the digivice pointed violently towards the town gate. "Almost there!" Temp said slightly breathless as he started off towards the gate.

((Redundant redundancy is awesome and redundant. That redundant 'nough for ya? X3))

Ashu turned around to see the gleaming orbs of the wolf in the dimming night. Like two round yellow moons that were hunting him down. The littler Ashu was terrified.

"Damnit! Hurry up, Temp run faster! Run faster!" he yelled a little too frantically while shaking Temp's head back and forth.

"Easy, easy! I'm running as fast as my legs we'll carry us!" Temp took a chance to look behind, and he got a glimpse of the wolf's eyes as well. Utterly frightening.

"Running slightly faster now!"

((To be honest I have expected you to pursue me further XD Scary wolf!))

ShadowWeregarurumon appeared atop of pile of rubble with golden eyes peering down on the group. As the moon came out he could not help but to howl at it, giving a rather eerie feeling to the already creepy domain.

"That is good to hear. Follow me." Luka turned from Sho and Terriermon. She began to walk through the darkness, towards the building that was now lit with lanterns. Her partner appeared at her side in a near instance, back in the form of a blkgabumon.

Reiji groaned at the idea, but followed after the two with Tsukaimon now resting on his shoulder. "Well... I guess one more grunt would be nice." he said to himself in a low whisper to his partner.

Stepping into the building, one would see a circle of lanterns attached to tall pillars of black ebony. The pillars surrounded the circular room and provided some light to the abandoned abode. While it was vast and virtually empty, the it was apparent that someone was taking care of it as there was little to no rubble like outside. Along the walls were a serious of paintings of men and women that were dressed in similar clothing. In the center of the building was a small circle of seats and a well-like structure that emitted light that much brighter than all the lanterns. There were also two more men in the building, each doing something completely different.

Luka led Sho to the center of the room, acquiring the attention of both of the other boys. "Boys? We have one that wishes to join our cause for domination and power." She stopped and pulled Sho in front of her, putting him on display.

The boy with short purple hair smirked walked up towards Sho. He was a little taller than him and bent down with his hands on his hips. "Well he certainly has potential, dear sister." He chuckled with his soprano sounding voice. "Guess we have to start somewhere, right?"

There was one boy with glasses and a blackguilmon. He was reading a book when Luka entered with Sho and Reiji. He closed his book and adjusted his glasses. His long black hair flowed behind him as he rose to his feet.

Luka smirked at the boys and their responses. She then looked back. "Reiji, be a dear and contact Marcus. Something tells me that it will benefit him greatly to be here."

Reiji groaned and pulled his digivice from his cloak pocket and typed up a quick message to send to Marcus.

[Marcus and team enter from Raggedy Inn]

A massive dust cloud was steadily approaching the city. On closer inspection one would notice that the cloud was being produced by a rather fast moving digimon. A samurai-like digimon known as Zanbamon was moving quickly towards the city with what seemed to be a human riding with it. It would only be a matter of seconds before the digimon had reached the city gates and then dove in with a certain building in mind to visit.

"Ya know... you are quite the impatient boy. How do we even know that you qualify?" A smog grin appeared on the purple-hair boy's face. "Surely you don't think that saying you want something makes you qualify to join elite tamers like our self." The boy shrugged and pulled out his digivice and pressed a button. "Dokunemon... realize!" In a spiral of green data, a green worm-like digimon appeared in front of the boy. It yawned and licked it's black beak-like mouth. "How a bout a little sparring match? Rookie to rookie."

Luka stepped back from Sho, not showing any sign of wanting to intervene. "Dear brother, you sound just like Reiji does."

"HEY!!" Reiji responded in protest.

"Maybe, but hell... I'm bored of all this waiting for Marcus to arrive." He looked at Luka with a sigh of annoyance and then turned back to Sho. "So what do ya say? Up to the test?"
