Byako and his forces in the west may have been beaten, but this attack is far from over. Seyu is in the east and was on his way to the academy. However; Charlotte, Cecilia, and Serene stood in the way and was getting ready for a fight.

"There sure are a lot of them." Charlotte said as she was a little nervous. They were intimidated by the size of the force, but they tried their best to remain brave.

"We can't back down. Our comrades are counting on us. We have to try and cut this army down to size as much as we can." Cecilia said.

"Cecilia is right. It's up to the three of us, but we do have the advantage." Serene said. "Each of us are skilled snipers. We can attack from a distance and deal some damage. What's most important is that we try to take on the leading general and bring him down."

"That's right." Cecilia said. The three of them stood and ready to fire at the enemy all at once. Seyu could see them holding their ground, but he didn't seem the least bit intimidated by them. He thought they could just walk right over them like it was nothing.

"Keep advancing." Seyu ordered his soldiers. "Be ready to open fire, but do not stop moving. They won't be able to put a stop to all of us." Seyu thought this was going to be easy. As his forces advanced a little further, the girls were ready to take the first shoot and let all hell break loose.

"Rosetta Stone!"

"Blast Rings!" Out of nowhere, strange attacks came between them. A series of stone tablets got in the way, smashing into the ground between both forces. At the same time, a blast of energy rings shot out of the sky and formed a trench in front of Seyu's forces to try and stop them from going much further.

"What was that?!" Charlotte said.

"I... I don't know. Where did all that come from?" Cecilia questioned.

"Hello! Up here!" They all looked up and saw two creatures they weren't familiar with landing down near them with Yolei and Kari hopping off of them. "Hey! Your reinforcements is here to help us!" Yolei said.

"Wait! I remember the two of you! You're both friends with Davis!" Serene said as she recognized both of them. "To be more precise, one of you is more than just friends with Davis." She said as she glared right at Kari and made Kari feel a little uneasy.

"What are you two doing here?" Charlotte questioned.

"Your teacher, Miss Orimura, called us in and asked us for some help." Kari claimed. "She said you guys were facing with a powerful enemy and that you needed our help to fight them."

"Although, she didn't exactly say anything about fighting an army like that." Yolei said.

"Well, we do greatly appreciate you coming here to help us." Charlotte said as she was grateful for the help. "What exactly did you do?"

"We formed a small trench in hopes of slowing those guys down, thanks to Aquilamon, as well as forming a barricade using those tablets that Nefertimon made." Yolei said.

"At the same time, we saw that you three were ready to start shooting. We figured by forming a barricade like this, you could be shielded while also shooting away." Kari said. "I'm not sure how much more we can do, but we'll do anything we can to help out."

"That actually might be beneficial. They'll find some way to get around that barrier and we need to be ready." Cecilia said. "It's important that we hold this army back, at least until we can bring down the one that is leading them."

"And that's the only reason you are here?" Serene said as she glared right at Kari, being a little suspicious of her motives.

"Excuse me?" Kari questioned.

"I'm just saying that this might provide a great opportunity for you and Davis." Serene said with Kari starting to blush. "You had your chance missy and you didn't want him anymore!" She claimed as she wasn't going to let Kari take Davis back so easily.

"Serene, down girl! Now is not the time for something like that!" Charlotte said as she held Serene back and tried to keep her from doing something stupid. She did managed to get Kari to feel a little bad about how things are between her and Davis. Meanwhile, Seyu took a pair of binoculars and was getting a look at what is ahead of them.

"Interesting..." Seyu said. "It looks like they have some help from some strange creatures. No matter... If they think that will stop me, they have another thing coming." He reached for the brace on his wrist and unleashed his own Shadow Unit. As the girls were discussing their own little matters, they had to stop when they heard a strange noise and an explosion.

"What just happened?!" Charlotte said. They all had a look and saw the barricade that Kari and Yolei just formed was destroyed. "How did they do that?!"

"It's because of him, I just know it." Cecilia said as she knew Seyu had to be the one behind this. After blowing up their barricade, Seyu sent his Shadow Unit back into it's lock mode.

"Sir, why retract your Shadow Unit now? Wouldn't it make more sense for you to keep it out and eliminate the enemy?" A soldier asked.

"I am a gentleman. I shouldn't raise my hand against a woman. While at the same time I am loyal to Lord Qilin and his cause, I do have standards and morals." Seyu said. "A complicated situation for me, but I am loyal, nevertheless. Open fire!" He ordered. His soldiers followed his orders and unleashed a barrage of attacks as they all fired away at the girls. They all took cover behind the barricade with Aquilamon and Nefertimon ducking down.

"Aquilamon, you're too big of a target! Go back to Hawkmon and get ready to armor digivolved!" Yolei told him.

"Got it!" Aquilamon said as he went back to Hawkmon.

"Now, Digi-Armor Energize!" Yolei called as she held out her D3.

"Hawkmon armor digivolved to...Halsemon, the Wings of Love!"

"Okay! Let's go get them!" Yolei said as she was ready to jump into action and take it to the enemy.

"Yolei, wait! You can't just charge straight in!" Kari said.

"Kari is right, it's simply too dangerous." Serene said.

"We still have to take on the leader of this army." Cecilia said as she was willing to be the brave one. "Cover me! I'm going in!" Cecilia said as she charged in. The Charlotte and Serene did what Cecilia said as they kept firing away at the enemy. It allowed Cecilia to move in as she tried her best to avoid the shots and flew right over the army. She used her drones to fire at the army as they tried to stop her.

"Wow! She has some fancy moves!" Yolei said as she and Kari were impressed with what Cecilia can do.

"Of course. Cecilia was the best representative of everyone in Britain. Don't just stand there gawking. Do something to help us out." Serene said. Nefertimon and Halsemon did just that as they tried blasting the enemy with them. Cecila made it over the army and soon spotted the ride Seyu was on.

"I found you, Seyu Ryudoragon!" Cecilia called as she flew straight down and landed behind Seyu. A couple soldiers tried to shoot her, but she was faster. She shot them with her lasers and knocked them down. That just left her with him.

"You certainly have some skill. I've never seen someone with sniping skills like yours before." Seyu said.

"That's because I never got the chance to show you." Cecilia said. She had her drones move into positioned and aimed them all around him.

'She's quick on the draw.' Seyu thought as he could see this enemy was not to be underestimated.

"I found it to be quite the mockery that you used my I.S. when you fought Davis at your little test." Cecilia said. "It seems like you are out of options. The only thing you can do is surrender."

"I beg your pardon?" Seyu said.

"You claim you never raise your hand against a lady, such as myself." Cecilia said. "I also owe you a little payback for how you tore open my top in, a rather strange, attempt to torture Davis and Ichika."

"That's right! I remember you now!" Seyu said. "You were that girl from before."

"And now you have the nerve to forget me." Cecilia said as she was really not liking this guy.

"It would seem you have both beauty and skill. I'm rather impressed." Seyu said. "However, do not be fooled by my choices. I was raised to be a gentleman, but my loyalty is to Lord Qilin and his plans. I much rather not do this, but it seems you are not leaving me much choice. Besides, you're little toys are nothing compared to my Shadow Unit."

"Your Shadow Unit?" Cecilia said.

"Watch and see." Seyu said as he unleashed his Shadow Unit once again. Cecilia was a little surprised by Seyu's new Shadow Unit. It was black and blue with broad armor around his body. It had some wing extensions, but those extensions had about gun heads connected to them, three on each wing. He also had a rifle in his hands with him wearing a visor over his eyes with targeting system built in. As soon as he unleashed it, he fired a few shots from his wings at Cecilia. She blocked his attacks, but he took the opportunity to fly up into the air.

"What is that?" Cecilia questioned.

"This is my new Shadow Unit. It's called Osprey because of the sharp targeting system it gave me, perfect for a fellow sniper." Seyu claimed. "I really wish I didn't have to use this against such a lady, but it would seem that I am left with no choice." He opened fire at her with his wings, but Cecilia moved fast. She shot up in the air and flew around to try and avoid being shot at. "You can run all you like, but you can't hide from me!" Seyu took aim with the rifle.

"That rifle of his... It has a fifty caliber strike to it. If that thing hits me, I could be in real trouble." Cecilia said as she saw she was in real trouble. She moved around as best as she could, trying to keep Seyu guessing on where she was going while he took aim at her with his rifle.

"You can run, but you can't escape." Seyu said. He took a shot and fired a blast right at Cecilia. Cecilia tried moving and just narrowly escaped the shot. However, it did hit a tree and knocked the whole thing down in just one shot.

"Okay... Maybe that thing has more power to it than I thought." Cecilia said. "Luckily, I have a few tricks myself." Cecilia was able to get a couple drones behind him and tried to shoot him down, but it didn't go the way she expected. Seyu's unit warned him of an attack from behind and he used his wings to block the attack. "No way! That didn't work either!"

"My wings are strongly plated for defense. They're great for sniping and defending." Seyu said. "I'm terribly sorry about this, but I need to get you and your friends out of my way." He unleashed a series of laser barrages at Cecilia, but Cecilia ducked and covered. However, those lasers were piercing through just about anything. "The best part of this is that my Shadow Unit won't overheat like before. I'm afraid this is checkmate, my dear." Cecilia seems to be pinned down by a fellow sniper, and she's the best sniper of the group. Seyu keeps firing away and seems to have the bigger gun and longer range. How can Cecilia win when it seems like Seyu has her beat at her own game.

...

Davis: Cecilia seems to have met her match against Seyu. They're both skilled snipers, but she has to win. That Seyu is one complicated cookie, but Cecilia has seen what he can do. He's got some weaknesses and she knows how to exploit in them.

Next Time: The Ungentlemanly Gentleman.

Cecilia really knows how to play with her men.
