Old Ones Return (V)

Cameron:<Oh, then she could be anywhere.>

Taiyo too gets dressed.

===================================

Azuma: "Why are you even here?"

D<Don't blame me, you gave me the idea. Now I just have to find the other one to bite him. I'm thinking of sticking this into him.>

*She holds out her claw, which has a bendy straw in it.*
=========================================
*Thiera checks her D-Power, hopefully not seeing Azuma in a state of undress.*
=========================================
*So they exit.*

E"Alright...where do we go now?"

Azuma: "Will you get the hell out of here?"

===================================

Taiyo: "I could go for another dip in the bath."

Cameron:<What do ya see?>

D<But I was thinking of hypnotizing you to do the chicken dance!>
===============================
T"She's with Azuma. In some place dark, probably one of those changing rooms at the bath house."
================================
E"We just got dressed. Plus, we said we needed to find the others, & I think Tsune's probably using it right now."

*Cameron looks confused*

<W-why?>

Azuma: "Get the hell out of here!"

Azuma waves his arms to shoo away the bat.

===================================

Taiyo: "I asked earlier if we could go back to the bath later. I guess you forgot."

"I don't know...."

*Thiera squints & leans in.*

"...But it looks like she's carrying a bendy straw...hey, don't swat at my partner, you jerk!"
==================================
*She flies back & her eyes begin to swirl.*

<Dance, chicken, dance!>
==================================
E"I didn't forget, exactly. You didn't say when. And we'd already decided to get up & find the others."

Hitomi uses her D-Power to deploy its lasso and lashes at DemiDevimon.

===================================

Taiyo: "Just later. When it can be the two of us."

Cameron:<Is she trying to be a...vampire bat?>

E"Alright. If at all possible."

*After a bit of aimless wandering, they see a Sunflowmon standing outside of one of the pillars, occasionally knocking.*

E"What the Hell?"
========================
T"The important thing is, they're attacking my partner!"

Datamon<I should hope not. You know that violence is strictly prohibited.>

T"Then we'll just have to go there & put a stop to this. I don't think that there's any need to get Venusmon involved. Please."
================================
*She strafes away from it, then glares back.*

D<Hey, don't attack me, jerks!>

*Cameron puts his hand on her shoulder*

<Thiera, I'm sure everything's fine. You know DemiDevimon, they're probably annoying each other.>

Azuma: "You started it. Why don't you go bug the Sunflowmon that's skulking around outside?"

===================================

Taiyo: "Isn't that where Azuma & Hitomi are staying?"

D<I didn't even bite you hard, ya baby. And by the way, the Sunflowmon obviously only knows a few words. That's why it doesn't leave when you tell it to, idiot. You're welcooooome!>

*Her last few words trail off as she flies away.*
==============================
T"It is still rude!"

D<Well, lead the way.>

*So Thiera stalks off towards the bath house.*
==============================
E"Maybe? I don't know, that's oddly specific information."

Azuma flops down on the bed.

Azuma: "Bastard."

*Cameron follows*

*They meet Euryale & Taiyo, witnessing the bizarre spectacle of someone being stalked by a Sunflowmon. Thiera keeps glancing at the Sunflowmon while she talks.*

T"Good evening. Have you seen--I'm sorry, can you please explain to me what's going on here?"

*She finally gives up & just stares at the giant plant.*
================================
*Meanwhile, DemiDevimon has picked up Hideki's scent & is tracking him down.*

Taiyo: "We don't know either."

===================================

Hideki is sitting by the river.

Cameron:<Um, have you seen DemiDevimon?>

E"I'm afraid I haven't. Why, what do you need?"

T"I'm trying to reach Mr. Yamaki, but I can only send him things that a Digimon sees, using the appropriate D-Power."

E"That's probably a good idea. You could use mine. Agu should be around here somewhere."

T"Thank you, but we might actually have to break up an incident between--"

*Thiera looks at her D-Power.*

T"...DemiDevimon just jabbed Hideki in the neck with a bendy straw."
=====================================
*So DemiDevimon sneaks into the trees &, dropping silently onto Hideki, does just that.*
=====================================
Reg<Rrrgh, what're we doing just sitting around here?!>

*MadLeomon doesn't get up from where he's curled up. He might be purring.*

ML<Everyone needs to recuperate after all of those battles. Relax, IceLeomon will start rounding everyone up soon.>

Cameron:<Yeah, that's probably not ok.>

Taiyo: "That's...."

===================================

Hideki yelps at swats at DemiDevimon.

===================================

Monodramon: "Hideki's in trouble."

Monodramon steps up to the river and takes a deep breath saying Hideki's name before stepping on to the river.

*She falls to the ground, rolling slightly.*

D<Ow! Jerk!>

*She jumps back up, jabbing him again with the straw & sucking on it. Meanwhile, Monodramon rides in on a red anemone.*
======================================
E"Does she make a habit of doing that?"

T"Not that I know of. Should we break them up?"

E"I don't know. Shouldn't we deal with whatever this is?"

*She points to Sunflowmon, who is now climbing the pillar.*

Cameron:<It isn't doing anything wrong.>
