[ temenos looks back at where fake temenos was like he's deeply considering throwing him into the maw of this dragon as bait. he can go back and argue with fake him and not fight this dragon? what if he did that. he wants to win.
alas. temenos then looks back at the dragon, and in the next moment, sees behind it - ]
The only way out is through, or so it seems.
[ but he will take sort of a ready stance, once again clearly missing his magic, and nods to patamon. ]
[ Is fake Temenos still hanging out? Are the fakes even still there? You lost sight of them a while ago. Maybe they just returned back into the black and red void now that you've spoken to them.
Gabumon to Garurumon! As big as this wolf is, it's not nearly as large as that dragon. "Looks too big to just be called a servant... We can distract it and you can go through?"
Loppy jumps off of Vane's shoulders and becomes a bunny with brass knuckles/knives. Ready for battle! "We can take a few hits from something like that."
Patamon to Angemon, "Ready when you are." They grip their staff ready to hit anything that might come their way.
The dragon does not move from its spot. For now, its are content to force everybody to come to them. ]
I'm not just going to leave you behind to deal with this thing!
[ gestures at dragon. is that foolish. maybe, but also. this little (big) guy helped him it would be incredibly fucked up to run away to oceanside and abandon him to massive dragon!!!! ]
We'll fight together.
[ is this foolish. yeah he's a shonen pirate. but vane looks like he also wants to fight things so surely this is a sane idea (where) ]
[ hey, hey, fake temenos, look at me. (whispers) bitch
anyway. temenos is the one looking for the escape route, but when the others state their shonen ready to fight, they're gonna be shonen ready to fight. he sighs. and... he's got his angel, at least? does digimon magic work like this we're going to find out. he holds out his music stand makeshift staff to angemon. ]
Can you imbue this as a conjurer might? To share your magic with me.
[ can i get some holy magic in my beating stick???
but otherwise. ]
If we'll fight it together, then it would be poor of me to stand idly by. To work, then.
[ does the dragon appear to have any spots that are unarmored? since it's just hanging out waiting for them ]
[ The tomato can goes wildly over the dragon's head. The soup is going to get to the city way before any of you.
Garurumon and Loppy are ready for battle, accepting that their partners are ready to fight with them. Even if it's not the best idea in the world.
Angemon does not have the ability to make a music stand holy, but they can give Temenos their staff to hold. "How's this instead?" Most of what they do in this form is holy punch. Since it's made of the same thing as what these critters are made of, Temenos can do some damage.
The center glowing part of the dragon's chest looks unarmored. ]
[ watches the soup fly off into the distance. alright then. ]
Tem, try not to lose your arm for real. [ temenos is armed now though so he feels a little reassured about it. at garurumon: ] That glowing part on his chest looks less armored, let's keep it distracted so it doesn't protect it while the other two attack it!
[ anyway ace has no weapons or sense but he'll go over and play dodgeball with the dragon. is it sane to be in the vicinity of attacks. no. is he doing it anyway. yea ]
I HOPE IT COMES OUT THE OTHER END AND SMACKS SOMEONE IN THE HEAD, KILLING THEM INSTANTLY. ]
Alright, Loppy and I will try gettin' the hind legs down! [ He gestures to Lopmon to follow, pointing to the right hind leg to start off. Vane's just got his hands so... it's fine, he'll again grab the leg like he did the tail from the last digimon. No moving. ]
oh my god this is so much better than the stand thank you. he looks immediately thankful as he takes it. ]
Let's purify this cretin, shall we? While Ace is attacking, aim your light true for the center.
[ he ignores the comment about his arm because rude? and like, yeah, he's still pretty hurt so he's not going to tackle anything, but he does swing down hard with the staff with his good hand on whatever its closest body part is, also on the team of distraction while angemon lines up a nuke. ill take the 2 make my life bad ]
[ Ace and Garurumon do an incredible job of distracting the dragon. Everybody else is free of giant claws and a giant mouth trying to crunch them in two!
Loppy is slightly more successful than Vane in keeping the leg from moving, but it's also huge. Neither of them can really get their arms fully around it. The tail is still free to lash out, snapping into Vane's face.
The staff hits an armored part of the dragon and Temenos will have to deal with the reverb of pain from hitting metal against tough armor. At least he didn't get any limbs taken.
Angemon manages to get a great shot at the center of the dragon's chest with a holy punch, full of warm and radiant light.
The dragon does not seem particularly phased by the hit, attention still on the assigned decoys. ]
[ ace says to the rest of the gang, running distraction by putting himself in range of giant claws and mouths. he says it because vane got hit in the face, mostly. he does not notice temenos nearly crit failing doing a singular bonk ]
Garurumon, you've still got fire, right? Aim for its eyes, maybe we can blind it!
[ ace will continue to distract!! come and get him, claws! (sane plan) ]
[ ow. ow he is rattling, like. a lot. temenos is missing judgement at the moment, because he can't just get at this thing's weak point the way he can't just attack it normally, but that's okay. the reverb rattles painfully, but in a way, it has its effect, because angemon lands a hit. ]
Well done, Angemon. Again!
[ as he will try and take his stupid staff and aim it for a part of this dragon that's less armored. a tiny crevice because he is so small in comparison to giant creature. anything. can he jam it underneath one of its claws because that hurts real bad.
i rolled an 8 so the answer is no probably but thats okay ]
[ Come and get claws is not actually a sane plan? This dragon is huge and it's maw opens wide, blasting Ace with a line of electricity. Garurumon fairs better, able to get one of the eyes, but it does have six of them to disable.
Vane manages to hold onto the tail! It's still trashing, so he'll have to keep his hold unless he wants to end up thrown back into the void.
Loppy does their best, but misses. They seem to be undetected by the dragon though, so there's something!
Temenos attempts to put the staff under the claw, but with a low chance of success comes a danger. Namely that he's scraped his own hand against the claw, drawing some blood.
Angemon attempts to hit it again, and is foiled by a giant claw swiping at their wings. ]
[ absolutely embarrassing to get blasted with electricity and burnt as a fire elemental. too bad for ace he has no fire!!! anyway, I'm going to go with ow. he is also going to go with ow. he's thrown back and smoking and I'm making food so the decision of where exactly the burn is can wait. The important thing is ace yet continues to snarl at the giant dragon ]
Fuck-- keep going for its eyes! [ for garurumon as he is standing back upright and: ] That all you got, you overgrown lizard?
[ The reason why Loppy is missing is because he’s so small and his hands aren’t big enough to reach the dragon’s belly. That’s what he’s gonna tell his friends.
But as he digs his heels into the ground, attempting to hold the tail so it won’t slash at everyone else, he speaks out: ] Damn — Loppy, try cutting through the base of the tail!
alright well that hurt. his arm's already fucked up from earlier, and the claw swiping across his hand doesn't help, but despite a hiss of pain, he doesn't let go. instead, he calls out - ]
What Ace said - eyes, if not the center!
[ he's going to wrench his staff free of its claws and drop back on his ass to try and avoid getting gored. is there anything here to utilize in this fight or is it really just Void ]
[ ace does not know that there's stuff in/on the ground, that is a temenos thing, so instead he can focus on-- ]
Vane! [ THE BONE? loppy runs after him so at least he's somewhat covered, but still!!! bone noises!!! ] Garu, move to the tail, try to pin it down for now!
[ so someone else can hold it still so it doesn't hit anyone else for a hot second/try to hold the dragon back, but that does leave ig ace alone in front of claws and teeth still being a distaction. is this smarter. no. he is playing whack a mole and he is the mole. ]
C'mon! You can't even get me with all your claws? [ he whistles for the dragon's attention. he dodged last time surely he can dodge again!!! he is so good at acrobatics!
[ wow vane would likely be twirling his hair and kicking his feet hearing the concern in ace’s voice if it wasn’t for the fact that hIS BONES ARE BROKEN.
Specifically, Vane feels a burning and near unbearable pain at his side; attempting to get up after being thrown aside proves near impossible. He can hardly get to his knees by the time Loppy arrives to aid him.
But there’s no denying he’s in pain — a great deal of it. His ribs ache and he finally registers after taking a deep breath that few are definitely broken.
Well that blows. ]
Loppy — [ He’s trying to stand without the aide of his digimon, taking in uneven breaths. ] You still got… that ice on you? You gotta help ‘em with the eyes real quick — I’ll jump back in in no time.
[ that six is NOT helping vane get back up and that one is nOT DOING ANYTHING SORRY ]
[ there's an equally concerned shout from temenos, immediately - there is something awful and familiar about seeing vane slumped into a corner like that, and temenos's stomach churns at the sight of it.
it's enough of a distraction that it catches him when he's trying to hurry for one of those colorful spots, and he nearly whirls around to try and stop it before he remembers that he's lacking his abilities. his light magic, his healing. and there's a certain sense of helplessness, and that voice from before nearly taunts, somewhere in the back of temenos's mind. (too little, too late.) no healing. nothing to be done.
which means that he's more or less unguarded and i rolled a four.
my sweet angemon can continue trying to attack that glowing center and/or the eyes but. it was a six. not great. ]
[ Ace does get got by the dragon's claws, actually. One solid swipe across his face as Garurumon just barely manages to bite onto the tail.
Loppy looks so incredibly reluctant to leave Vane alone... but if it's an order, it's an order. "You promise, right?" As they start heading back to the fight.
Between the four and the six, they're both having a terrible time Angemon gets their arm bitten, and Temenos is getting hit by Garurumon as the dragon keeps attempting to get people off it's tail (literally).
Still, he's knocked into one of those different colored spots (blue). The dragon gets pelted by ice. ]
[ so ace has like, really stupid high pain tolerance. i mean "cleansed in a pot of boiling water and doesn't scream" pain tolerance. i love one piece it's not stupid at all.
anyway, that means it's still not a scream as he gets his face mauled, just a very loud pained grunt as he holds his face. he has no idea the state of it right now but there's blood all over and his vision is obscured, and he's trying not to think about it. there is more important things to think about while he stands there and bleeds: ]
Fuck-- you guys okay? [ all he saw was his friend the wolf hitting temenos in the face. sorry about that. loppy went back to battle so probably vane is fine (he's not) probably vane is fine, so-- ] Just aim for the center! The face isn't doing much!
[ getting hit with a (redacted digimon number) pounds of wolf is a lot for a tiny twink. temenos grunts at the impact, hitting the ground in a pile with garurumon - it agitates his arm injury enough that it's rattling, and he wheezes with the wind knocked out of him, seeing stars. his-semi better arm (yikes) comes up and he pats at garurumon the best he can. trying to help him up and also bleeding, ribs aching, body aching, head hurting from where it connects with the ground. he is just a twink and that is a lot of digimon.
but when the spot lights up, its familiar. scholar class; blizzard.
unfortunately that hit knocked it out of him, and temenos is dizzy and breathing hard, unable to quite grasp all the correct words to activate it in a way that aims but he'll send out a sheet of ice in the general direction of the dragon as he struggles to his feet again.
thats about all hes got atm. what are the other colored spots within eyesight? ]
