-May 15th 8:15 AM Floor 48: Lisbeth Smith Shop-
Lisbeth tiredly walked into the door of her blacksmith shop, returning from a salvage run. Her partner was sitting peacefully on the counter reading the Player's Guide paper.
"They beat the floor 65 boss." Lalamon said, not looking up. "Apparently Kirito had a big hand in it."
"Are you surprised?" Lisbeth sighed. She then turned to the seedling like creature. "Can I ask you something?"
"About what? Lalamon asked confused, looking over the paper. "It's not your hairstyle is it?"
"No, nothing like that." Lisbeth insisted. "What do you know about Digivolving?"
"What about it?" Lalamon asked, putting the paper to the side.
"How does it happen?" Lisbeth asked sitting down. Lalamon looked at her partner confused. "It's not about you, it's about Agumon." The pink haired girl insisted.
"Why Agumon?" The seedling asked, sounding interested.
"It's just he hasn't been able to Digivolve since he came to Aincrad, and I think it's getting to him." Lisbeth admitted, the girl looked down in sorrow. "I saw Agumon and Taiki training in the woods today while I was getting material."
"Really?" Lalamon asked concerned, getting up and floating over. Lisbeth nodded. The two didn't know what to think.
Just then, the door flew open, revealing several male players. "Lisbeth help us!" They all shouted ecstatically.
"Whoa, whoa calm down." Lisbeth insisted, putting up her hands. "I can only make so many weapons."
"We don't need weapons!" This got the duo's attention. "We need information!"
"Where did you get that dragon metal!" Another demanded. "We need it for her."
"Her, her who?" Lisbeth asked confused.
"Mystique." The third said in a dream like tone. "She's a gorgeous player of unrivaled beauty."
"Mystique?" Lalamon asked confused.
Lisbeth then realized something. "Andre, don't you have an in-game wife?" Andre was one of her repeat customers and would frequently come in with her.
"Who cares about Liddy." Andre said, his eyes replaced by stars. "All I need is Mystique."
"Uh I thought her avatar name was Lily?" Lisbeth asked confused and angry. She put her hands on her hips.
"Lisbeth look at their eyes." Lalamon nudged her partner, and she looked at the Digimon. Lalamon pointed her stubby little arms at the boys and then Lisbeth noticed it finally. All of the boy's had a pinkish tint to their eyes.
"Ok, maybe you should get those eyes checked." Lisbeth suggested.
"No chance." Andre said, "All I need is Mystique."
"Hey guys, Mystique's heading into town." Another player shouted from the outside. The boys rushed outside, clearly with one goal in mind.
"Want to meet her?" Lalamon asked confused. Lisbeth nodded, knowing something was up.
-Lindarth 8:31 AM-
Finding Mystique wasn't hard at all, just look for the large crowd of men. However getting through said crowd was a whole other story. After pushing her way through about 30 people, Lisbeth and Lalamon finally met the big deal, and quiet frankly weren't impressed. She had golden blonde hair with a pixie cut. Mystique was clad in a red and black leather body suit with gold and black stitching. Her weapon of choice was a staff, which was hanging off her back. However unlike the others in the crowd, Lisbeth's attention was drawn elsewhere. The cursor she had was a darker shade of green than the other players.
"Mystique, here's a pair of earring that will shine off your lustrous skin." One player said, offering her the jewelry.
"Oh, how thoughtful of you." She said with such a tone that made Lisbeth's skin crawl. Mystique quickly put her new jewelry in her inventory. "But I could use a new necklace." Several male players rushed forward with a necklace to present to her.
"Wow, I didn't think anyone could be that rude." Lisbeth thought disturbed. She was about to say something out loud, when her digivice beeped. Lisbeth looked down at it, and it looked like a page from the analyzer was trying to open up, but at the same time couldn't. "What's wrong with this thing?"
"Well, well, if it isn't one of those Digimon trainers." Mystique said snidely, appearing right in front of Lisbeth's face. "I'm surprised you even show yourself around here."
"Uh, why wouldn't I?" Lisbeth demanded, insulted. "I've had a shop on this floor for over a year."
"And yet you still have your stupid pet." The player said, rudely pointing at Lalamon. The seed then fumed a bit. "You get the special treatment, while we have to hide at night, just to make sure we don't die in our own homes." Several players, both her fans and passerby's, started to agree with her. "Face it, you're as bad as those beaters!"
"Ok, I'm really trying to be a nice person here." Lisbeth insisted.
"A nice person, you don't know the meaning." Mystique shot back. Lalamon was fuming, and about ready to charge.
However, it was here, Lisbeth raised her arm. "No, she's not worth it." She glared, and the two left, trying to ignore the jeers she had received. As Lisbeth walked away, Mystique gave a wicked looking grin.
-May 19th Floor 48 Lindarth 6:57 PM-
Lisbeth sighed, "Another day without a single customer." Ever since the incident with Mystique, all her clients dropped her. She was about to close shop for the day when the bell chimed. "Welcome to my shop, we're probably going to have a going out of business sale soon." She said to her customer, not looking up.
"Nice to see you too." Taiki said with a laugh.
Lisbeth sighed as he and Agumon walked in. "What's up?"
"We've spotted Snimon again." Taiki said, trying to sound upbeat. "He was after this." Taiki flew through his inventory and pulled out a small gem that looked like a small ember. "Apparently it's called a phoenix tear, and the others are chasing him."
"Ok, let me see." Lisbeth pulled up her analysis window and took a look at it, and gasped. "I've only heard about this." Taiki, Agumon, and Lalamon looked at her confused. "This is one of the three key materials used to make Phoenix Flare, a super rare sword they say you can use healing crystals on to improve."
"Cool." Taiki said, a small smile appeared on his face. "Do you know what the others are?"
"Let me think." Lisbeth said, and then remembered. "It's a magma core, and a talon shard that we need." She accessed her own inventory page and pulled out a small obsidian rock. "I've already got the core, and if memory serves, the shard is in a dungeon called Sky bound Flare on Floor 27."
"Ok." Taiki said. No sooner than he did, Lisbeth grabbed him by the wrist, and she pulled him out. The two were followed by their partners. Unaware, Mystique was right outside, and she gave another wicked smirk.
-Highton View Terrence 7:15 PM JST-
Izzy looked over the data over and over again. No matter how many times he looked it over, he couldn't recognize the algorithm. Just the other day, he found an encoded message in the ghost town he and the others went to in the digital world. It was just the essence of some code, but it was better than nothing. But no matter what program he ran, what way he looked at it, or how many times he smashed his head on the desk, Izzy couldn't crack it.
"Why does this look familiar?" He sighed.
"Honey." He turned to see his mom in the doorway with a tray of food. "You missed dinner again."
"Sorry, I've just been busy." He said, not looking away from his computer. "I'm not all that hungry."
Mrs. Izumi sighed. "You're worried about Tai aren't you?" Izzy's abrupt silence was answer enough. "It's none of your fault."
"I know and that's the problem." Izzy admitted reluctantly. "I just feel useless."
"A lot of people are." She admitted. "No one knows what to do about SAO, and the thought of their loved ones dying at any moment is hurting them."
"I just wish I knew what to do." Izzy admitted.
Mrs. Izumi placed her hand on her son's shoulder. In all honesty, she didn't know either.
-Floor 27: Sky Bound Flare Dungeon 7:30 PM-
"Nice place." Agumon admitted. The dungeon was situated in an extinct volcano, and appeared to be made of obsidian. The central building was a large spiral tower that stood taller than the volcano's opening. It gave off a warm feel to it, and seemed to still have a lot of players going in and out.
"I guess people really want that sword too." Taiki said with a smile.
"Not really," Lisbeth explained. "This dungeon's great for all kinds of forging materials."
"Cool, now where do we find this talon thing?" Lalamon asked, feeling the heat.
"It's not far away from a safe zone players call the Phoenix Nest." Lisbeth explained, looking over her intel. "We should be there in about an hour."
"Well, let's go." Agumon said, clearly feeling energetic about the mission.
"What's up with him?" Lalamon asked somewhat drained.
"He probably is so upbeat from the area." Taiki said with a small smile. "The heat must make him feel at home."
"Oh how sweet." Lisbeth tensed up and scowled. She turned to see none other than Mystique behind the duo. "Cute little lizard."
"Oh joy, you." Lisbeth forced herself to say.
"What's that mean?" Mystique taunted. "I'm just here for some materials."
"Like you don't have enough already?" Lisbeth shot back.
"This that girl you mentioned before?" Taiki asked confused. Mystique took one look at Taiki and faked an excited gasp.
"Well aren't you cute." Mystique walked over and got a little too close for Taiki's taste. "What's your player name handsome?"
"Uh, I'm Taiki." He said nervously.
"The name's Mystique." She said seductively.
"Uh Taiki, remember, we're going to get a phoenix shard." Lisbeth reminded.
"A phoenix shard, what a coincidence, so am I." The girl said mischievously.
"Oh, really." Taiki said, surprised.
"Why don't we all go together then?" Mystique suggested.
"Actually it's just me and Taiki going." Lisbeth tried to explain. However it was clear her words fell on deaf ears. Mystique pulled Taiki by the arm and walked off. Lisbeth sighed exasperated at the girl. "I hope Asuna and the others are doing fine." Unaware Taiki's digivice started to react to Mystique's touch.
-Forest of Wandering Floor 34 7:45 PM JST-
"Are you sure you're ok?" Silica asked Falcomon worried.
"Don't worry, Pina's healing powers eased my wing effortlessly." The owl like Digimon assured the girl.
"Oy, you two going to stop dawdling any time soon?" Agil asked rhetorically.
"Coming." Silica said, running up. After losing Snimon, the remaining Data Defenders had decided to check out a lead on a monkey like Digimon that had been attacking the area for some time now. However no one had gotten to it before as players mistook it for a Drunken Ape. But when it started to shoot energy blasts around, their attention was captured.
"Come on." Asuna said, "We've already burned enough daylight as is, let's pack it in."
"Still nothing," Klein said with a sigh. "I'd rather not have this be a repeat of Muysamon."
"You and me both." Kirito admitted with a smile. Huckmon smiled alongside his partner. However before anyone could do anything, Gaomon stopped and pointed his nose somewhere.
"What's up buddy?" Agil asked concerned.
"We got incoming!" Gaomon said. No sooner than he did, a massive white and black blur lunged out and grabbed Asuna.
"Pretty Lady, me find you!" It was a massive white and black gorilla with a single barrel cannon for his right arm. With a blur, the two were gone. Kirito looked down at his Digivice to see the stats on Asuna's kidnapper.
Gorillamon
Level: Champion
Type: Animal
Attribute: Data
Attacks: Power Lifting, Energy Cannon
"Alright, I don't care how tempting it is, no one make a King Kong joke, alright?" Klein shouted knowing right where this was going.
"No fair, I had about twenty lined up." Agil said sarcastically.
"Uh, guys, they're getting away!" Renamon shouted in anger.
"Right, time for some speed." Kirito said, turning to Huckmon and Falcomon, who nodded in agreement.
HUCKMON DIGIVOLVE TO BAOHUCKMON
FALCOMON DIGIVOLVE TO PECKMON
"Everyone partner up." BaoHuckmon ordered. Kirito, Agil, and Gaomon got on the dinosaur type Digimon. At the same time, Silica, Klein, and Pina got on Peckmon. Renamon meanwhile phased away, going faster by herself.
"Let's go, I don't want to lose to her in a race." Peckmon said, running forward. BaoHuckmon wasn't too far behind.
"Get your hands off me, you damned dirty ape." Asuna ordered. However it was clear her orders fell on deaf ears. Gorillamon had an overly enthusiastic look on his face, almost perversely. It was then a Drunk Ape appeared right in front of the two.
"Me stop for lady." Gorillamon said happily. "Energy Cannon!" A powerful blast of light effortlessly destroyed the monster.
"Ok, you're more powerful than I gave credit for." Asuna admitted disturbed and impressed in the same breath. Gorillamon then walked over and picked up the drop item, an iron wall club, with his foot.
"More goodies for pretty lady." Gorillamon then tossed it into the air and it latched onto his back.
"Ok, maybe I should let Tarzan her take me to wherever it is he wants to go." Asuna thought. She thought back to the incident with Saberdramon and Muysamon. The mystery boss had been processing various data for a project aimed at Taiki. So now it looked like it now included drop items. And from the looks of things, Gorillamon mistook Asuna for his partner, and was leading her to a massive treasure trove.
"I just hope the others get here in time." Asuna thought disturbed. "Because once monkey boy finds out I'm not interested, things are going to go bananas."
-Sky Bound Flare Dungeon 8:15 PM-
Lisbeth's eyebrow twitched tremendously, as Mystique kept trying to get Taiki interested in her. Over the course of this trek, she offered him 10 dates, three meetings, and some rare items. However what confused Lisbeth was not one of them was a player invite. By now she would have talked to Agumon or Lalamon about it, but neither was available at the time. Lalamon had passed out due to the heat and her partner was now carrying her. Agumon had the exact opposite reaction to the volcano dungeon's temperature and caused the lizard to run up ahead. Fortunately, his powers had increased and took down whatever monster that appeared in front of him.
"I so can't wait to get rid of this broad." She huffed to herself.
"You don't like her either huh?" Lalamon said weakly. Lisbeth smiled, seeing her partner somewhat better. However, she stopped for a moment, noticing a large fountain a few feet away.
"Hey Taiki, Mystique." Mystique looked annoyed while Taiki looked back in confusion. "Let's take a quick break, Lalamon could use some water."
"Good idea." Taiki said, eager to get away from the mystery girl. Lisbeth dunked the seed like Digimon in the water, who instantly looked relaxed.
"You're looking better already." Lisbeth smirked, seeing Lalamon swim around a bit.
"Hey Lis, can I ask you something?" Taiki asked, grateful that Mystique was on the other side, soaking her feet. "Why'd you drag me for this?"
"I don't know what you mean." Lisbeth said flatly. "I had no idea Mystique was coming."
"Not that, this quest for a new sword for me." Taiki said firmly. "Why?"
Lisbeth sighed, and thought it best to answer. "I saw your training the other day." Taiki tensed up at that statement. "Why are you and Agumon pushing yourselves?"
"Because, because." Taiki said, trying to find the right words. He then sighed, and came clean. "Because I feel so useless in Aincrad." Lisbeth looked at him strangely. "Everyone on the team has something I don't. Kirito and Asuna have their power, Klein has his speed and his guild, Agil's good with weapons, you're great at building stuff, and Silica's got Pina." Taiki then looked down at his reflection in the water and splashed it. "Me, all I do is wait for the others get in and save the day."
Lisbeth looked at her friend, and was in simplest terms, shocked. "I never knew."
"Yeah, I just don't want to get in the way." Taiki admitted solemnly.
"I never saw you like that." Lalamon said, floating over.
"I appreciate it, the both of you." Taiki admitted.
"Come on handsome." Mystique said, incredibly seductively. Taiki did his best to pull away, but her grip was stronger than she appeared.
It was then, Agumon rushed over like a kid with a sugar rush. "Tai, you're never going to believe who I ran into over at the Phoenix nest!"
"Who?" Taiki asked confused.
"Come on." Agumon grabbed his hand, and ran off.
"Wait up." Lisbeth ordered, running after the two. Lalamon shot out of the water, and after her partner. Mystique scowled, this was going to be harder than she thought.
-Caves near the Forest of Wandering 8:22 PM-
Gorillamon soon left Asuna at the foot of the mountain of items. To say Asuna was impressed would be an understatement. After all, the pile of drop items was bigger than Gorillamon himself.
"Me do good for lady?" Gorillamon asked with a smile.
"Uh, yeah actually." Asuna said sheepishly. "But the thing is."
"Asuna." She turned to see Kirito and the others run up.
"You guys have horrible timing." Asuna groaned.
"Wait, pretty girl not pretty lady?" Gorillamon asked confused, scratching his head with his cannon hand. Then his face twisted up in anger. "YOU LIE TO ME!"
"Uh, technically." Asuna began. Only for Gorillamon to swat her away with his organic arm. Asuna was sent flying through the night sky.
"I'll go get her, you stop the monkey." Renamon ordered, going after her partner.
"Good idea." Agil said, getting off BaoHuckmon.
"Me no like you, me smash you!" Gorillamon declared, pointing his arm cannon.
"Scatter!" Peckmon ordered, as the blast was fired off. The remaining defenders rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Alright, no more monkey business." Klein said, determined. Peckmon then glared at him. "No pun intended."
"Good idea." Peckmon said, slightly agitated. He jumped up and extended his wings. "Kunai Wing!" A barrage of daggers rained down on Gorillamon.
However, the monkey like Digimon grabbed the earth beneath him, and shouted. "Power Lifting!" A massive rock was ripped out from the ground, and tossed at the attack. The two attacks collided, and blew up.
"Alright, he's stronger than we thought." Klein said surprised.
"Then leave this to the professionals." BaoHuckmon chuckled.
"Wait, what?" Kirito asked, still on his partner's back.
"Fif Cross!" BaoHuckmon's front claws lit up with flames. The dinosaur Digimon charged forward at the ape.
"No stop." Kirito ordered. But it was too late, Gorillamon swung his arm and tossed BaoHuckmon to the side.
"Ok, that hurt." BaoHuckmon groaned.
"Not as much as it hurt me." Kirito groaned from under his partner.
"Ok, a little help somebody!" Asuna asked with a scream. She was now wedged between some branches. "Anyone out there?"
It was then a small pinkish jellyfish like Digimon with a single floated over.
"Oh hi little fellow." Asuna said cheerfully. The Digimon looked at her. "A little help please?" The Digimon shot a barrage of froth like spit from its eye. Right into Asuna's face.
"Stop, stop it!" Asuna ordered, spitting out the gunk that unfortunately went into her mouth. The Digimon then left, leaving Asuna alone. "Jerk."
"Asuna, are you ok?" Renamon asked, phasing in.
"No, some jellyfish with a contact lens just blew a ton of bubbles into my face." Asuna said, spitting some more froth out of her mouth.
"Probably an In-training Digimon." Renamon said with a shrug, getting her partner out of her trap. "They usually can't do anything besides blow bubbles."
"Joy." Asuna said, straightening her clothes. "Let's go." The fox Digimon nodded.
RENAMON DIGIVOLVE TO KYUBIMON
The fire fox allowed her partner to get on her back so the others. However Asuna was deep in thought about something. That weird jellyfish Digimon gave off a very strange feeling about it. One that made Asuna uneasy.
"About time." Kirito shouted with his sword in hand, breaking Asuna out of her thoughts.
"Oh right sorry." Asuna said, getting out of her thoughts.
Kyubimon then turned to her partner. "Up for trying that combo move?" Asuna nodded. She leapt off her partner's back and charged up a sword skill. At the same time, Kyubimon spread her tails for Fox Tail Inferno, only aimed at the sky.
"Fox Fire Meteor Shower!" The two shouted in unison. Asuna's rapier stabbed the raining fireballs, increasing their speed and power. The fireballs slammed into the ground and right into Gorillamon, deleting him.
"Ok, that worked a little better than anticipated." Asuna admitted sheepishly.
"That's was awesome!" BaoHuckmon said excitedly, reverting back into Huckmon, and then tackling the girl.
"That does open up a question though." Agil brought up. "Who's this partner he was working with?"
-Sky Bound Flare Dungeon Same Time-
Taiki and Lisbeth finally reached the Phoenix Nest, a large safe zone with several water springs around. It's where Taiki smiled at the creature next to Agumon, and Lisbeth looked shocked at the Digimon in front of them. It was a man, made entirely out of fire with stitches at his mouth.
"It's been too long Tai." The fireball man said. "I didn't expect to see anyone I know living out here." Lisbeth looked at her digivice.
Meramon
Level Champion
Attribute: Data
Type: Flame
Attacks: Fireball, Roaring Fire, Fire Fist, Magma Blast
"Likewise." Taiki greeted. He then turned to the two newcomers. "Guys, this is Meramon, a friend I made back during my first trip to the Digital World."
"A pleasure, I'm Lisbeth, and this is Lalamon." Lisbeth pointed out the still weakened seedling.
"Howdy." The flame Digimon said with a friendly smile.
"So why are you here?" Taiki asked with a smile.
"I live here in Aincrad." Meramon said with a smile. "The heat on this floor is awesome, and I meet such interesting humans." However his friendliness instantly vanished upon seeing the oncoming Mystique.
"Handsome." She whined, "Why didn't you wait for me?"
"Fireball!" A ball of flames shot out from his palm and right at Mystique. It was then the girl jumped into the air and stayed in the sky.
"What the hell?" Lisbeth asked confused.
"I'm the same level as you so your spells don't work on me, Witchmon!" Meramon spat venomously.
"Witchmon?" The two humans asked confused.
"Finally." Mystique said with a wicked smile, one that nearly split her face in two. "I can drop this accursed disguise." The girl waved her hand and was replaced with a woman in a long red and black evening/battle dress hybrid with silver stitching and a red witch's hat. She had red gloves with gold claws on the back of her hands. Her staff had become a broom. Taiki took a look at his Digivice.
Witchmon
Level: Champion
Attribute: Data
Type: Demon Man
Attacks: Baluluna Gale, Aquary Pressure
"It's been a while Meramon." Witchmon taunted. "I guess I couldn't fool you?"
"Considering the countless Digimon you've tricked to get your way, no you couldn't." Meramon shot back enraged.
"Wait, so you work for that Digimon trying to kill Taiki!" Lisbeth summarized.
"That stick in the mud, no way." Witchmon sneered. "I only used my magic to make those stupid humans fall in love with me so I could repurpose it myself." She then cackled. "I even tricked a Gorillamon into helping me."
"For what?" Taiki demanded, getting enraged.
"Because, I like jewelry and attention." Witchmon said with a wicked grin, and then turned serious to Taiki. "The only thing is, I couldn't control someone with a strong will, like yours, so." Witchmon swung her clawed gloves. "Baluluna Gale!" A powerful razor sharp wind was aimed at the five.
"Scatter!" Meramon shoved the two out of the way, as he put his arms over his chest. "MAGMA BLAST!" He opened his arms, and released a barrage of fireballs, meeting the wind gusts mid-flight.
"Let's get her." Agumon cheered. Taiki and Meramon took a fighting stance, while Lisbeth looked down at her partner.
"You take care of Lalamon." Taiki said, drawing his sword, "We got Witchmon."
Lisbeth nodded and went to get her partner into a spring.
"You got me?" Witchmon sneered. "Not even close, Aquary Pressure." A concentrated blast of water poured out from her palm. The blast nailed Meramon in the chest and sent him flying.
"Is that so?" Taiki said, getting up close to Witchmon. She swung her arm for another Baluluna Gale, destroying Taiki's sword instantly. "No!" He cried.
"Taiki!" Lisbeth said in shock.
"Try this, Pepper Breath!" Agumon shot a fireball at Witchmon who tossed Taiki at the attack. Taiki not only collided with the fireball, but also Agumon himself.
"Guys." Lisbeth said in shock.
"Now for you." Witchmon sneered. "Aquary Pressure!" Another blast of water charged at Lisbeth.
"Lisbeth!" Lalamon leapt from her spot on the ground, right into the attack as Lisbeth's Digivice lit up.
LALAMON DIGIVOLVE TO SUNFLOWMON
"What the?" Witchmon demanded as a green arm swatted away her water attack. In place of Lalamon was a large green reptilian like Digimon with a yellow flower like face and two leaves at its neck, and a few spikes on its tail.
"Perfect timing." Meramon groaned, getting up. The water attack had obviously done some damage. At this time, Taiki took a look at his digivice and looked at the intel on their new pal.
Sunflowmon
Level Champion
Attribute: Data
Type: Plant
Attacks: Sunshine Beam, Smiley Slapping, Cactus Tail
"I appreciate the drink of water, I was thirsty." Sunflowmon said with a smirk.
"Uh Oh." Witchmon said with a panic.
"Time for a little payback for Lisbeth, and all the players you've hurt!" Sunflowmon declared. "Cactus Tail!" Sunflowmon swung her tail and a barrage of spikes nailed Witchmon's broom, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Cheap shot!" Witchmon groaned, getting up. However she panicked seeing Agumon, Meramon, and Sunflowmon looking at her. "Uh oh."
"Dynamite Kick!" Agumon delivered a fire infused kick to her midsection.
"Fire Fist!" Meramon dealt a powerful uppercut, sending Witchmon back into the sky.
"Sunshine Beam!" Sunflowmon's face lit up with a yellow energy, and deleted Witchmon.
"Nice." The flower Digimon said with a smirk.
"Now that she's gone, why the visit?" Meramon asked confused.
"We're here to get me a new part for a weapon." Taiki explained.
"This thing?" Meramon asked, pulling out a phoenix shard.
"That's it!" Lisbeth said with a smirk, accepting the gem.
"Say," Meramon began. "You guys wouldn't know this rude human with a head like a mace, would you?"
"That sounds like Kibaou." Taiki admitted. "What about him?"
"I saw him hoarding a bunch of stuff the other day." Meramon said, "And get this, he had a Gazimon with him."
"Gazimon?" Lisbeth asked.
"I know them." Sunflowmon said, still in her champion form. "They aren't very pleasant."
"I speak from personal experience, they aren't." Taiki said, his hand at his chin. "But how did Kibaou get a partner?"
- May 20th Lisbeth's Smith Shop 11:30 AM-
"Kibaou has a partner?" Asuna asked confused.
"I know, but Meramon said he would keep an eye on him for us if anything happened." Taiki said. The team had decided to meet up at Lisbeth's place, as she made Taiki's new weapon, and the other players returned to normal.
"I just don't get it, first the Digi-eggs, now this?" Kirito said in confusion.
"It's almost like he was ordered too." Agil explained.
"Alright, it's finished." Lisbeth said in the other room. Everyone went off to see the finished Phoenix Flare.
"Lisbeth you rock!" Taiki said, taking the sword from her hands, and admiring it. It was a long silver broadsword with a golden hilt in the shape of an open phoenix mouth. Right above the beak was a large orange and red gem.
"That thing looks awesome." Agil said in awe.
"You outdid yourself Lis." Asuna said with a smile.
-Floor 30 Shadow Caverns-
"I can't believe I have to live out here." Kibaou said with a growl. He turned to the large grey humanoid wolf like Digimon right next to him. "And my roommate isn't very chatty."
It was then the cloaked figure teleported in. "I need a favor."
And done. I'm sorry if this seems rushed, but I'm going on Vacation and wanted to get a few stories updated before I go. So leave a review and an idea for a future chapter if you have one, and I'll see what I can do. Except with Gazimon, let's just leave it as I've got something special planed with him.
