DIGITAL LOVE OPEN | 893 | BIG BAD BAALMON Dani found herself a little surprised that Melina was sharing all this with her. Sol himself knew that it was probably to fill in her Digimon, though while he and Dani were around was a mystery to him. The Guilmon decided to simply scout ahead with Tsubaru, unsure if Dracomon had friends that had followed him into the Digital World. He still didn't trust the dragon Digimon, even though he was a Bebydomon currently and couldn't do too much damage. Melina continued her explanation of their family, Dani listening quietly as Sol kept pace with Tsubaru. Dani really wasn't sure how she would've reacted if she was put in Melina's position. Her parents were gone a lot, sure, but if anything had happened to them she wasn't sure what she would be able to do. She quietly put her hands behind her back as Melina continued, a frown forming on her face in thought. Sol hadn't been expecting the pat from Tsubaru, the Digimon looking at the boy wide-eyed for a moment. Once his nerves calmed, the Digimon lowered his fin ears to enjoy the petting a bit more. He gave a soft smile towards the young boy, before focusing back on where they were walking even though he wasn't sure where Tsubaru and Melina's home was. The truth about the sibling's father hurt Dani. How could any father do such a thing to their children?! It didn't make any sense to her. Possibly because her own family had never acted like that, despite it's own problems. She couldn't really relate to their sad history, but she did feel for them. She found herself at a loss for words. Of course their father still cared about them, but that home life wasn't ideal. Maybe if Dracomon was there it'd be easier on them. The little Digimon could protect them, but it was probably better they lived with their aunt. Dani lived by herself with Sol in Japan, but at least Sol was only unpleasant sometimes. She'd grown used to the red Dragon Digimon's company that thoughts without him definitely weren't in her head. The thought of simply leaving everything made her heart hurt. Melina and Tsubaru certainly were to be admired... She nodded to herself, ready to say some words of encouragement before someone else spoke. It wasn't anyone in the group... so who was it? The girl looked around for the source of the nasty voice, already spewing harsh words at the sibling's mercy. "Hey, that's not nice!" Dani called out to the creature, before it finally revealed itself. Sol immediately got on guard once the creature showed itself, curling his lips back to show his rows of sharp canines. The creature definitely didn't look friendly, especially with that sneering smile. The red Dragon was already preparing a Pyro Sphere, though Dani was quick to shut his mouth this time. "Hey! I thought we talked about this!" Dani hissed to the Digimon, who growled in the back of his throat. He didn't have time for this! It was a hostile Digimon! Of course with the mention of making them suffer only agitated the Guilmon further. Dani bit her lip as she held onto her Dragon Digimon, unsure of what to do really. Would this Digimon comply to her words? She was almost starting to wonder if any Digimon did listen to her. Before she could even move the group was easily levitated into the air with a wave of the Digimon's hand. She found herself rendered immobile, no matter how hard she struggled. She was already holding onto Sol's mouth, so the two were even further rendered useless for now. The Digimon pick pocketed each person before finally letting them free, Dani and Sol crashing into the concrete with a loud thud. Dani finally sat up after the Digimon mentioned stealing from Auntie too. Dani couldn't let that happen, not to her new friends! But what could she do? "Um, excuse me, mister Digimon, could you please give us our stuff back? We don't want to cause trouble, besides what did we ever do to you?" The girl pleaded with the other Digimon, though Sol rolled his eyes. There was no way that Digimon was going to let them have their things back. Sol was still injured from his fight with Dracomon, but the Digimon could still fight if he needed too. "Dani, thou has to fight." Her digimon glanced at her, though she shook her head. "No we don't! We can resolve this peacefully." She frowned back at her Digimon, who gave a sigh. There was a chance they could beat him, but it wasn't very likely. This Digimon was powerful, and only Bebydomon and himself were the Digimon around. Before he could send out a surprise attack, another voice called from the entrance of the alleyway. A boy and his Digimon, another Dragon type that Sol recognized as Monodramon. The boy had called out to the Digimon, so he must've been on their side. Before Dani could say a word, Sol took the opportunity to fire at Pyro Sphere while the Digimon's attention was diverted from the other boy's yelling. "Pyro Sphere!" It wasn't a spot on hit, but hopefully the Digimon had been distracted enough to get hit.

Suddenly, there was a voice. Before they could respond, they were levitating in the air, frozen, as the strange Digimon picked their pockets. "I'm only fourteen," she told him coolly when he put them down. She noticed that her Digivice was in the hidden pocket on her belt still, but said nothing. "If I had any money, I wouldn't be carrying it around on my way home from school. And you expect a little kid like my brother to have any more money?"

Then he threatened her auntie. Her eyes narrowed. "Don't you DARE touch her!" she snarled. The Digivice began to glow, as did Bebydomon.

"Bebydomon digivolve to...!" he called out. The light faded. "Dracomon!" The blue-green dragon stood on his own legs again, fangs barred and growling softly at the Baalmon. Then another Tamer appeared with a purple dragon Digimon.

"Tsubaru, get down," Melina muttered. The boy nodded and snuck into the shadows, hiding in a doorway where he wouldn't be seen. Dracomon found himself wishing that he had a better distance attack than he did, but he knew he had to fight. "Dani, we have no choice! You may not like it, but the only one who's going to be able to help your partner is you! Without you, he's pretty much powerless! Whether you like it or not, you don't have a choice!" She glared at the higher-leveled Digimon. Definitely not a Rookie level. She pulled out her Digivice and tried to examine this new Digimon, but she wasn't even sure if her digivice even had that ability.

"Baby breath!" he shouted, as a bubble of hot air emerged from his maw, aimed at Baalmon. Oh, this was not going to be an easy fight... He was still tired from the battle earlier, but he had to fight to protect both his partner and the little one. He wasn't about to give up!

As the two digi-destined began to battle Baalmon, Monodramon decides that he should fight as well. Besides, he liked a good challenge. Wherever it presented itself, the digimon was ready. No matter how big or small, he was ready. The purple creature turned his attention to his partner, Malik to get his consent on fight the evil digimon. The boy nodded with a serious expression spread across his face. The young digimon turned his gaze back to Baalmon and rushed towards him, ready to land an attack.

"Be careful Monodramon, this guy is no rookie digimon." Malik said, warning his friend that the opponent they were facing was powerful. He quickly reached into his right pocket with his right hand and immediately pulled out his cyan blue digivice. He held on tight to it, making sure it doesn't fall out of his hand. He hopes that Monodramon will be okay. His worries weren't that great, since there are others fighting beside him along with other digimon assisting his friend. His partner proceeded with an attack of his own, like his allies. The digimon jumped into the air and cocked by his right arm.

"Beat Knuckle!" Monodramon said as he unleashed a barraged of thrusts with his claws.

Baalmon! Level: Unknown Attribute: Unknown Health: High

At Dani's accusation of him not being very nice, of all things, Baalmon couldn't help but break into a fit of laughter, "Oh my dear child, you'd do well to let go of your little pet's mouth. There are not many Digimon that take kindly to humans. You sick, feeble, weak creatures. It doesn't matter if you've done nothing to me. You egotistical little shits ought to have learned your place many years ago, thinking you could control us!" A new voice brought his attention to Malik and Monodramon, "It seems as though I've started a party. All as well. You'll suffer the same fate as them." he murmured. With another wave of his hand, he stole what little yen he could find in Malik's pockets as well. His cause was so much more noble than what these humans could use their damn wealth for anyway. He didn't need to explain himself to these stupid, filthy creatures.

Mel's sudden rage was greeted with a nonchalant shrug of Baalmon's shoulders, "And what will you do if I do steal from your aunt? What if I killed her? You're too weak to stop me. You all are. Your best effort would leave little more than a scratch on me!" And he was not bluffing: all three combined attacks seemed to effect him minutely, if at all. A maniacal cackle worked it's way up from Baalmon's chest, his voice bellowing about, "That' tickled. You'd do best to run, before I show you what a real Digimon is capable of! I'll send you all straight down to hell!"

Drawing the sword beneath his cloak, Dǎshénbiān, Baalmon charged for a highly destructive attack, "Kamiuchi!" And with a swipe of his weapon, he sent a wave of dark energy at his three opponents, enough to knock them clean out should they stand still. "I said run."

DIGITAL LOVE OPEN | 377 | There was a flash of light as Bebydomon evolved back into Dracomon, though Dani could tell that made Sol a bit nervous. Hopefully the Digimon's berserk attitude wouldn't show up during the fight against this Digimon, at least the Dragon Digimon wouldn't turn against them. Still, the Guilmon shifted into a defense position. Dani frowned, unsure of what to do. Melina had called to her to tell her she had to fight, but did she really? This Digimon had laughed at her for making such claims, so she guessed he wouldn't comply with her words. With Dracomon and the Monodramon's combined attacks with Sol's Pyro Sphere, the attacks did seem to land a hit on the Digimon. However, the Digimon seemed unaffected by the attack. Sol cursed under his breath, staring back at the Digimon. That guy definitely wasn't going down without some stronger attacks. As far as he could tell, Melina was a rookie Tamer at best and this new guy didn't look too powerful either. Dani and Sol hadn't even reached the Champion level of Digivolution yet, so unless they worked together they probably wouldn't escape without some sort of luck on their side. Dani covered her mouth at the sound of Baalmon's laughter when he said their attacks tickled him. How could they defeat a powerful Digimon when all three Rookie Digimon's attacks did nothing on him? Baalmon began drawing his sword, which made Sol instinctively react by lowering himself to the ground. While Baalmon was charging, he quickly grabbed Dani to try and move the girl out of the way. His efforts were rewarded in the sense that he managed to push Dani out of harm's way, though the energy wave hit the base of his tail pretty hard. He was stunned momentarily, overwhelmed with some pain. The Digimon definitely wasn't kidding, that attack was pretty strong. Dani had been shoved a little ways away, but she wasn't injured really. "Sol!" Once she had regained herself to a sitting up position she shuffled over towards the Digimon, patting his snout lightly. "I am fine, but thou need to come up with a strategy." The Guilmon snorted, glancing back at the other two tamers.

No... Their combined attacks did nothing? Mel found herself stunned, unsure of what to do. She figured the other two couldn't Digivolve to a higher level, at least not yet. If they could, they would've already. Dracomon saw the attack coming, which Melina didn't see, and ran at her, knocking her down. The damage wasn't as bad as it could've been, but they both got hit. Melina cried out wordlessly when the attack hit, crashing into her ribcage. She felt at least one of them snap, she'd need to get to the hospital after this... Dracomon got almost the full blast of it, causing him to be unable to stand. Mel slowly sat up, holding Dracomon in her arms.

There was a lot of other noise now. People must've seen the last attacks and called the authorities. Police officers couldn't do much against Digimon though. She saw what looked like a few news cars pull up nearby, not too close but close enough to see what was going on. And the last ones to arrive were fire trucks and ambulances. The paramedics tried to get near her.

"No, stay back," she told them, coughing harshly afterwards. She winced and put one hand over the right side of her ribcage. She looked up at Baalmon. "He's too strong... We need to find Tamers who can Digivolve!" She didn't even try to stand yet. She wasn't sure if she could.

News broadcast

"There appears to be a rogue Digimon battling multiple Tamers not far from the site of the last Digimon attack!" the anchorwoman says into the microphone. "The last Digimon disappeared too quickly to identify, though sources say that it was calmed by a young girl of about fourteen or fifteen. This time, three Tamers and their Rookie-level digimon have been unsuccessful at taking this rogue Digimon down. One Tamer already appears to be incapacitated." The video feed switches to a slow-motion clip of the blue-green dragon Digimon knocking the girl down, but both of them got hit with the attack anyway. "When paramedics tried to assist, the girl told them this."

"He's too strong... We need to find Tamers who can Digivolve!"

"I believe this to mean that this is a Champion level, or even Ultimate level Digimon, which would be completely unaffected by attacks from a Rookie level. Tamers of Tokyo, these three need your help!"

Malik wore a serious expression on his face, indicating that the combined attacks of Monodramon, the Guilmon named Sol, and Dracomon had no effect on the evil digimon. He even said that they tickled. The boy was a bit surprised that Baalmon could brush off three attacks so easily. He knew that even the three of them combine didn't have near enough power to stop him. If only Monodramon could digivolve to champion level then, they would at least have a chance at victory. Malik noticed something within the hand that Baalmon just waved. It was money, but not just any money. He quickly took out his wallet and looked through it to find all his money was gone. That evil digimon just stole his cash. Great, they were losing and broke.

Malik quickly put back his wallet and looked up to Baalmon again. To his shock, an attack was heading right for him. Malik was fast, but not at a level to dodge an attack launched by a digimon. Monodramon saw the attack heading for his friend and hurriedly ran to him. With a great jump, he was able to push Malik out of the attacks way. They both landed with a thump to the ground. The boy stood on his knee caps while his partner stood back up on his feet, quickly recovering from the recent attack.

"Thank you Monodramon, that was a close one." Malik said, grateful to his friend for saving him from a possibly broken limb. The digimon nodded with a smirk to him.

"No problem pal, it's the least I can do." After a quick exchange of gratitude and acceptance, Malik fully stood on his feet. He turned his gaze to the other digi-destined who were fighting with him. While he was lucky, Sol and Melina weren't. They were hit by Baalmon's attack. While Sol didn't take as much damage, Melina had a broke ribcage and Dracomon was also injured, though Malik can hardly notice the girl's broken bone from the distance his was standing at.

While Dani was tending to Sol, Malik quickly rushed over to Melina. He knelt down to her and her digimon, a look of clear worry and concern. He ignored the news reporters, who were thankfully a safe distance. The boy expected to be toughs battle ahead when meeting his partner, but not this soon. Seeing someone in pain, especially a friend practically landed a jab to his heart. Melina's pain was no different. She was clearly in agony.

"Melina, are you okay, do you need medical attention?" Malik said in a worried tone. Even though he hardly knows her, Malik was willing to risk his life for a strangers. Besides, they were both digi-destined and they protected one another.

Baalmon! Level: Unknown Attribute: Unknown Health: High

Pointing his sword at each Tamer in turn, Baalmon laughed. This was all too simple. He could easily end their pitiful lives right this second - and yet....

Sirens outside divided his attention. A scowl worked its way onto the Digimon's face, "What a load of righteous crap. You filthy creatures gravitate towards chaos because it makes good reality television. Calling the Tamers of Tokyo would do absolutely nothing to help your pathetic hides. I'm more powerful than all of you. I am Baalmon. And who are you? Three kids and their enslaved pets. Disgusting. You three Digimon ought to be ashamed of yourselves. These beloved 'partners' of yours are only going to betray you."

The bustle outside only grew louder as more and more people showed up, and Baalmon grew ever more impatient. He should just kill them and get it over with. But perhaps he should let them live another day, suffer the pain of defeat, and meet him a second time, if only so he could pound them into place once more, "I don't have time for games. Time is of the essence."

And with that, Baalmon disappeared into the shadows once more, nothing but the destruction around them to prove he'd even been there at all.
