[ It barely gets its claws into Ace's leg this time around, scraping at him but not doing the damage it really could. A limb scratches against Garurumon's back as they continue going after the jewel. "We're... getting there!"
Vane, why are you going closer to the dragon? Your BONES. They don't even see him, but they do feel the limbs on their limbs. The dragon kicks Vane away, directly in the already broken ribs.
On the other side, Lopmon manages to dodge all the flying limbs and teeth! He even manages to stab the jewel again! It doesn't shatter, but it looks closer and closer to a full break.
Angemon is not Angemon at the moment. There's a flap of wings as Patamon makes their way back into the fray, "I'm fine!" It's still a lot of distance for a little guy to cover.
Temenos gets hit by a stray lightning blast from the dragon itself. ]
[ ace doesn't see vane until he is being kicked away Again, right after he's getting clawed in the leg. it's not deep but it's enough to kind of throw him off his next dodging probably considering i rolled a 3, but also he was heading further away at this point because he's kind of in his running out of range phase of dodging. idk. i hope mira somehow whiffs on him again just because at this point it's funny ]
Garu, fire! [ he sees the cracks in that jewel, so, priorities, but also other priorities: ] Temenos! Vane! You guys alive?!
[ vane keeps getting KICKED TO THE SUN and tem just got HIT BY LIGHTNING YOU GUYS!!!!!! STOP ROLLING WORSE THAN HE IS ]
patamon's response is relieving if tiny - temenos might respond, but he's getting hit with a lightning spell about three seconds later. lightning damage is always the worst - it rattles your entire brain, brings blood to your mouth, and, he's about spent, too. it takes a full second for him to move, properly, and you know what. alright.
alright he's had enough. i rolled a goddamn 19 its a christmas miracle
what good is temenos if he can't utilize the one skill he has left? when vane goes down, he draws on thirty years of experience under the light of the sacred flame, on the power of aelfric and all eight gods of solistia, and slams his hands, good and bad, into the circle.
at home, this spell usually drains him of every ounce of his magical energy. it is, to put it in no uncertain terms, a fantasy nuke. he knows exactly how to draw on it, could do it blindfolded. temenos closes his eyes and puts his energy into the holy magic circle.
aelfric, banish the shadows from this world. is the prayer, mouthed to the heavens above.
[ The dragon gets one final attack in, a breath of lightning, aimed wildly. It hits Ace directly in his chest, it stomps on Vane's arm, it completely misses on Temenos.
The the combined efforts of Temenos, Loppy, and Garurumon finally, finally shatter the jewel in its chest. Garurumon's fire and Loppy's knife pry an opening out of this massive dragon's defenses. Temenos's final attack is what does the very final blow.
The fireballs on its back are snuffed out, one by one. The dragon's body stalls, then falls. Despite the lack of ground, the whole place shudders as it collapses, corpse still here... and the space keeps shaking.
It's as if the very fabric of reality here is shattering, cracks beginning to form in the void itself.
You'll need to leave.
The portal is still open, but it's beginning to rattle.
Garurumon is heading Ace's way, "Let's get you out!"
Loppy is heading for Vane, who's the closest to the portal already.
Patamon is making their way over to Temenos, "Temenos, you need to go!" ]
[ Ace is admittedly on the ground when the dragon finally mcfucking dies, but he's dragging himself up with a wild laugh when it does anyway. (he did not see vane getting stomped on, because it would be rude to laugh at that.) His laugh doesn't last long before the world starts shaking. It's always one more thing, here. ]
Are you guys going to be okay? [ he pulls himself up the rest of the way when garurumon reaches him. He feels kind of like hot garbage, but he still noticed the "you need to go" portion ] Your world's breaking down!
[ I mean, he's still rushing his way to the portal, checking on Vane's boneless form and looking back to make sure Temenos can walk. he did not see him get hit any time because there was a dragon in the way, but now he can see the boys. ARE THEY GOOD. CAN THEY MAKE IT TO THE PORTAL ON THEIR OWN. no man left behind!!!! ace is fine it's just a flesh wound he will carry them if their digimon cannot!!!!
[ He’s got an extra set of ribs broken and now there’s blood gushing from his arm. Crushed underneath the impact of the dragon and definitely… broken, likely with a little bit of bone poking out. No big deal.
If he doesn’t have a concussion added to that I’d be surprised so let’s put that into the equation as Loppy is gonna need to help Daddy up.
HE’S BONELESS. RIBS HURT. ALL HE CAN DO IS RAISE A HAND FROM HIS UNBROKEN ARM AND PUT A THUMBS DOWN!!! ]
[ temenos is. also on the ground when the dragon dies. he is on the ground, because he is bleeding, electrocuted and now also completely spent magically, which is a really bad state for an incredibly squishy healer. he drags himself up at patamon's urging when the world starts to rumble because NOTHING can ever be easy, wobbly on his feet but relying on adrenaline and adrenaline alone to move.
he is not going to die from a breaking down world. like hell!!! but he hurries past the dragon's corpse the best that he can, looking at ace's eye and vane's extremely busted arm, and hissing unhappily. okay. he will. he's going to also help ace and loppy get vane up, the best that he can. no man left behind despite flesh wounds. ]
Come on - [ actually he's gonna slap this stupid bandaid on vane somewhere. it is comically dumb but take a tiny, tiny bit of healing for your fucked up arm or your fucked up ribs - the other one is getting torn open and slapped onto ace somewhere as they're moving. healer life never ends. through gritted teeth, to ace, vane, and to their companions: ]
Through the gate.
[ all of them! that includes the digimon, doesn't it? (no) ]
[ Everybody did their best here, but you all really took this fight instead of looking for a way around it.
The dragon's corpse remains. It doesn't get swept up in static the way everything else did. Whatever that means, or doesn't mean, will remain a mystery to this group.
"We can try to go through the portal." Garurumon, lowering themselves down so somebody can put Vane on their back. Loppy will assist with Vane, wherever he ends up going. The tiny slap of bandage heals some of the scratches and bruises, but it really can't do anything for the bones. Patamon will stay near Temenos, repeating with clarity, "Through the gate."
[ i don't understand this concept of "looking for a way around a fight" ]
Alright, let's go. [ he's bleeding from so many places and got electrocuted twice and his hair is plastered to his face with blood on the side he currently can't see from (PROBABLY THE EYE IS FINE, RIGHT? - denial), but he's still not even hesitating to help assist vane up to ride this big wolf through the portal. something hilarious is going to happen when we do this i assume because mira is definitely not letting us keep digimon partners ] Tem, need help?
[ he will carry the squishy mage or put him on the wolf too if need be they gotta GO but if temenos can walk by himself they can all just run like maniacs. nyoom ]
everything is awful. temenos gets to vane and half wobbles in his effort to try and get down to help - he looks like he's going to blow over in the next stiff breeze because he is extremely pale and hardly able to stand up, bad arm now hanging limply and shaking with effort. all of this to say is his stubborn ass says:]
I'm fine. [ please carry him he's not fine he's been bleeding for hours. princess temenos the healer.
he puts a hand on his tiny lil digimon as if to comfort it, and makes his way stubbornly towards the gate, with gritted teeth and stubborn determination to make it forward. ]
[ When going through the portal back to Oceanside:
Garurumon becomes a Gabumon plush.
Patamon becomes a plush.
Loppy becomes a Lopmon plush.
For the next 48 hours, they want to carry the plushies of their partner with them everywhere they go.
Additionally, the group receives:
Red Magatama: Allows the user to talk to one deceased hero for one hour. (depending on ooc availability. 30 comments total. Cannot reveal their killer if unknown.) (1 use.) Blue Magatama: Break it in front of a piece of evidence. If it's planted evidence, the magatama pieces will disappear. (1 use.) Grey Magatama: Break this to double the length or effectiveness of a team power that you use. (1 use)

It would be anticlimactic if the curtains were to fall before the main act could begin. The moon has its cycles, it waxes and wanes but never truly goes away. A clash may blanket the moon with darkness for a spell, but the light of the moon shall return brighter than ever. The show must go on, and it will be foolish of the heroes to believe otherwise.
