Finally it was time, the day she had waited for had arrived at long last. Ever since the announcement of the upcoming tournament hosted by the Seven, and the promised reward that accompanied being victorious in the arena the young lady had been devoting every single day into the preparations for the upcoming tournament. Of course she was excited, in the end this was her chance to get closer to the Seven and obtain a means to find the answers she so longed for. Who cared about something trivial like wealth or fame? To her the possibility of meeting one of the Seven was much more precious. Fortunately for her the locker room that had been granted to her provided enough privacy for her to make her preparations properly. Her attire had been prepared, a simple but sturdy cloak that covered most of her body, and with a cursory look over Kuro's body she was confident the little raptor was as healthy as could be. "So Aneki, what's going to be our strategy?" The girl crouched down before her partner, her lips briefly curling up into a smile. She didn't knew her opponent that well, aside from the fact that, as far as she heard the opponent she was fighting was the partner of Claire Lyon, the leader of Ringbound, one of the factions she had looked into, but had not a proper opportunity to have an extended meeting with her. Of course such an opponent would allow little to no mistakes, right? Raising a hand to her cheek she tapped it slightly for a moment while whispering under her breath. "That's pretty clever Aneki! And it worst comes to worst we'll use 'that'!" Reikiko's eyes twinkled with a hint of excitement as she nodded her head firmly, rising back onto her feet while the two of them left the locker room and headed toward their designated arena. Curiously enough it appeared that there was some type of simulation to the battlefield, for instead of the expected coliseum-styled arena there had been a beautiful forest-like environment, the sun slowly settling in the distance, a sight that made her blink in bewilderment as she stepped into the arena. Judging from all the excited voices in the distance it seemed there was quite a crowd watching the tournament battles, so in the end it was quite understandable that even she was starting to feel excited at the upcoming brawl. Nevertheless, as the duo advanced into the forest they finally came to a halt near a small clearing, arms folded beneath her chest under the cloak while a hand lowered to a small holster on her hip. Good, all her supplies were ready for the brawl. It was only upon the arrival of her opponent that Reikiko looked down at the little Lopmon and spoke in a cheerful tone. "You must be Walter. A pleasure to meet you, my name is Reikiko, and this is my partner Kuro. I'll look forward to a exciting battle~" The Blackagumon took a few steps forwards, his gaze locked firmly onto the little Lopmon while he raised a claw in a waving motion. "Yo, you're pretty brave for attending this tournament without your partner. I like that bravery, shows me you have guts!" The little raptor laughed heartily before he shifted his footing slightly, steadying himself for any possible attacks that might be thrown his way already. "How about we talk a bit while fighting? Men talk the best when they are using their fists! In honor of your courage and determination I'll allow you the opening move." I seemed Kuro was quite confident, but his attitude felt a bit off, he was much more friendly than she was used to seeing from his interactions with enemies, might had been that the Lopmon's decision to take the tournament on by himself was actually inspiring Kuro, and earning the respect of the Blackagumon!

Reikiko Tsukino Claire was not by his side. The Lopmon came alone to the battle, just his little self- standing at about two feet tall in his rookie form, the rabbit wasn't exactly an imposing figure. This tournament sounded... horrible. But he was doing it for Claire. Participating in this awful, excessively violent spectacle because of her. She was in the audience somewhere- he hoped, watching him. Even now, those words she'd said on the Glacier, and everything she'd nearly spat at him for the whole month stung, badly. Every harsh word made his core ache with loneliness and desire to please her- the excuse that he was doing everything he did to keep her safe did not pacify the searing pain he felt when she glared at him, or ignored him. This was it- if he could somehow win this tournament, or even just a few rounds, she would be sure to forget her anger with him. Walter tried not to think about the rules. Being destroyed and possibly assimilated sounded terrifying, and the thought shook him. He could only hope that he wouldn't face too many honorable foes- destroying the data of good Digimon sounded just as bad to him. With a swallow, he stepped into the arena, bracing himself. The evening air was setting in, and the gorgeous sunset was a pleasant surprise. He was expecting something more... unforgiving, even after hearing the environment they would be dueling with. Stepping carefully, the rabbit entered the clearing where his opponent and the tamer were- a Blackagumon and a young girl, who promptly began formal introductions. "Indeed, I am Walter... a pleasure, the both of you." His words were curt, but not cold- he was caught slightly off guard by the respect the two showed ( and by a Virus Digimon, no less! ) and wanted to show much of the same. Alas, the moment of truth- since his opponent hadn't Digivolved yet, Walter held his own power back, staying in Rookie form as he replied to Kuro, "I quite prefer silence, actually, but I thank you for the courtesy." Sometimes taking the opening move could be a mistake, but he was a gentleman- if that was how Kuro wanted to begin the battle, then so be it. Feet digging back where he stood, Walter swung his ears back once, winding up- then came the launch into the air, spinning toward the dinosaur. "Tiny Twister!" A safe move perhaps, but generally an effective one- if struck, the Agumon would take a good number of punches to the face with his ears, in rapid succession as the twister spun him around. "Claire speech." "Walter speech." ○ TINY TWISTER - Using his ears, Walter spins to create a whirlwind that physically strikes the foe.

It seemed their opponent was the more silent and humble type, a curious participant for the tournament all things considered, but for some reason it seemed Kuro did take him seriously when the little bunny started to spin around, the rapid acceleration of the bunny making the little raptor raise his claws with an excited grin while seemingly dropping into a defensive stance. It was clear that attacking right now would be futile, and just lead to him getting his face slapped repeatedly, a thing he preferred to avoid. Instead the little raptor braced himself for the initial assault, the ear slaps of the spinning Lopmon hitting cleanly into his guard, and although he felt the sheer determination of the Lopmon through the attack, Kuro did endure long enough for his strategy to proceed. You see, as the Lopmon was spinning around Kuro was confident that if he remained guarding long enough, that the Lopmon's acceleration and momentum would start to slow down, and it was at that point he would have reacted by trying to force the Lopmon off-balance with a violent shove. "Now it's my turn!" If he succeeded in his attempt the Lopmon would likely soon have spotted that Kuro moved in for the attack, a swift series of clawed slashes being made toward him, a powerful flurry of blows commonly known as 'Mach Jab Combo'. Still, despite his confident and excited demeanor Kuro did feel that his arms had been slightly bruised, perhaps a result of the Lopmon's attack just now. Whether his attack had landed cleanly or not, Kuro could feel that as they clashed that their attacks silently conveyed something. Just like Walter was fighting for someone's sake, so was Kuro fighting for someone. That's right! his Aneki was watching, so there was no way he could allow himself to become bested in battle, not even by a fellow warrior! "You're pretty tough despite your small shape, It shows you have a reason to fight, cause men only become truly powerful when they have a reason to battle!" The raptor grinned when finally his expression became more serious and he added a bit curtly. "Unfortunately for both of us, losing won't be an option for me either. For Aneki's sake I will triumph even over a fellow warrior like yourself!" It likely wouldn't be long until his partner would give the order, in the end he knew she was buying time to analyze her opponent and think of a strategy, but even then it was a matter of time before the excitement of the battlefield would reach her and the order would have been given. How he was looking forward to that moment, the moment he and Walter would evolve and fight at their full power! In the end he was a warrior! Someone who lived for the rush of excitement one only found in this type of place, and to him there was no greater honor or delight than to fight a worthy opponent in a good old-fashioned duel. That was what he loved the most! --- Attack used: ○ Mach Jab Combo - A flurry of claw slashes and kicks, hits surprisingly fast!

Reikiko Tsukino As expected, the BlackAgumon's initial reaction to his spin was a defense. It was obvious that at this point wasting too much of his energy on the spin would be a futile endeavor- though this did not stop him from being pushed away. The Lopmon stumbled backward, raising his ears in defense as the dinosaur's swipes and kicks came. Though Kuro gave the impression of not at all being streamlined for speed- no offense, most Agumon and saurians in general didn't- though at first he tried to stagger backward, dodging, one of the first kicks from those clawed feet struck Walter in the face. "Gh!" Clearly, basic defenses and dodging would not suffice for this particular move, but Walter was no stranger to allowing his foes to get close to him- his instinct to counter was already at work. As he swung his head back to its original position- narrowly missing a nasty scratch in the process- muscular ears swung with the momentum, aiming to strike whatever limb came close to him. But regardless if it did, he unleashed an attack of his own, at close range and aiming for BlackAgumon's face. "Blazing Ice!" The two shots released as he spoke, and the rabbit backed away quickly as he did so in an attempt to gain some distance. Kuro's brave words spoke to Walter's heart- both Digimon were empowered by fighting for their tamer, not for themselves. Despite currently being enemies, they were empowering. They reminded Walter of his own passion, steeling his reasons for entering the tournament in the first place. "Kuro, our reasons for fighting are one. I too, have someone to fight for, and I will not fail- but it truly is an honor to fight you today. Now then." With that, the Lopmon was engulfed in white light- when it faded, the Digimon that stood there was Lekismon. Black gloves raised, exactly like a boxer. The remaining sunlight dyed the light rabbit's fur a brilliant number of warm colours, dancing with the shadows of the forest. Faintly, the symbols on his gloves could be seen glowing. "Shall we start the real battle?" Kuro was a warrior- therefore, surely, he had another form. Walter would wait for him to take it. Some form Greymon, perhaps? A common Agumon evolution, but common did not mean easy- in Walter's experience, dinosaurs tended to be dangerous powerhouses. But it that was true, it was nothing he hadn't faced before. "Claire speech." "Walter speech." ○ BLAZING ICE - Conjures two bullets made from ice in his mouth to shoot at the foe. Can only be used every other post. ○ MOON NIGHT ADVANCE - Walter's Moon Gloves glow, simulating the effects of the Moon and activating Walter's Moonlight Dancer ability without the need of the Moon's presence. Comes into full effect over three posts, the first adding a 10% boost to his speed, the next post 20%, and finally 30% at the third post at full Moonlight Dancer capacity. If the Moon is already out, Walter gains a flat speed bonus of 10% ( capping at 40% total ) instead of the gradual increase. Currently 10%.

To say that this battle was exhilarating for Kuro was almost an understatement. The clash as he found his Mach Jab Combo attempt to tear through Walter's defense invigorated the raptor, and yet neither seemed willing to give up. In fact, Walter had even decided to launch a counter-attack once the last sweep followed. It was at that moment, when Walter unleashed a Blazing Ice attack, the projectile heading straight for Kuro's head, that the Blackagumon smirked and inhaled sharply. "Pepper Breath!" Kuro's response to the attack seemingly was a collection of fiery projectiles, the first melting down the first ice bullet that was launched his way, the second partly dissolving the ice bullet, the remnants digging against his cheek for some minor damage, while a final fireball was launched straight toward the Lopmon as he tried to retreat. The raptor grinned as he felt the feint hints of a scar on the side of his cheek, and while to some it might had been a sign of weakness, to him it would become a badge of honor! However, it seemed the time for games had ended, for Walter declared his desire to go all out, making the raptor nod his head with a smirk. "Truer words have never been spoken! Fine, Aneki!" The raptor looked hopefully at his tamer who nodded her head lightly in response. It was to be expected that this Lopmon would require more than Kuro's basic form to be able to defeat. Perhaps it was time for her to use 'that'? The raptor's eyes shone with liveliness, a excitement that was contagious to her, so after a moment she sighed in amusement. "Fine Kuro, let's use the Digimental then-" However, before she could finish speaking the raptor shook his head firmly in defiance, declaring proudly. "Not that one Aneki, Walter deserves my respect, so we shall go all out!" To use her true power so early in this tournament? A playful sigh escaped the girl's lips as she gave in to her partner's demands, her right arm seemingly drawing out from under the cloak that was covering her body, a faint red glint seemingly looking at Walter from the parting where her arm had come out from. "I wanted to keep this till later, but fine~ You'll have your wish." It was at that moment, a moment she whispered something under her breath that the mark on the back of her hand started to glow with a dark purple glow, a feint aura that erupted from the mark to engulf both tamer and Digimon. "Kuro... ANKOKU SHINKA!" The raptor's body started to become surrounded in a cocoon of darkness that rapidly expanded, his body enlarging into the form of the large Black Greymon, a specimen that seemed even larger and more ferocious than the usual subspecies. With a thundering roar the dinosaur revealed his true form, the cocoon shattering into tiny fragments while his body burned brightly with the dark aura. "You should feel honored Walter, it's not often you get to experience a true Ankoku Warrior! Let's go Aneki!" It seemed Kuro had been waiting for something, a thing Reikiko intended to provide him when her arm retreated into her cloak and a moment later data seemed to gather around Kuro's arms. It appeared that Reikiko had activated a Digimon card, the one known as: 100. Omnimon's Grey Sword and Garuru Cannon for the familiar weaponry seemed to manifest on Kuro's arms, making the Raptor let out a bellowing war-cry while dashing forwards, seemingly attempting to impale the transformed Walter on the large black horn on his head, an attack that no matter the end result, would soon be accompanied by a raising of the right arm of the dinosaur, the Garuru cannon opening its head and unleashing a single vicious shot at his foe! ----- Kuro's actions: Used Pepper Breath to counter Blazing Ice (second bullet did some minor damage) ○ Pepper Breath - A fiery volley of burning projectiles, this attack is split into 3 smaller fireballs, that for each one that lands inflicts the enemy with burns for 3 rounds, making them take minor damage and an increased vulnerability to fire techniques as long as they are burning (can be removed by water-based attacks), doesn't stack on itself. has a two-post cooldown. Kuro dark digivolved into Black Greymon Card: 100. Omnimon's Grey Sword and Garuru Cannon has been used Kuro attempted to impale Walter with Great Dark Horn ○ Dark Great Horn - A simple forwards charge with an attempt to impale the enemy upon his horns, has a darkness property, no cooldown And finished this post round by unleashing a none-technique/regular blast from Garuru Cannon

Therefore, if it's Despair you consider your enemy, then your enemy is the entire world!

Reikiko Tsukino Countering his counter- impressive, Walter thought. He wouldn't be able to dodge out of the way in time, but did have something else up his proverbial sleeve- ears shot up in front of his face to tank the hit with Lop Shield. Burn as it did, his Lopmon ears weren't sensitive appendages, and were his primary weapons and shield in battle in this form. As if shaking human hands, he shrugged off the blow, flexing his 'fingers' as he did so. Dark Digivolution. Walter swallowed, bracing himself. As expected, the form was BlackGreymon, but it was clearly not your everyday version. Its roar shook Walter's core, though his expression remained impassive, legs bent and ready to carry him away at an instant. Only the twitching of his ears and nose were hints to the personal unnerve he felt against Virus types- dark foes in particular, sent shivers up his spine. He tried not to remind himself that he had such grotesque power within himself as well- something he had obtained, but never yet used. Was it that he lacked courage? Walter liked not to think so. In his eyes, the presence of fear did not mean the absence of courage. But unless there was a reason to, he would prefer not to dabble in dark energy, and dreaded the loss of control it brought. But this battle might just give him that reason- he could not lose so early. "Ankoku Warrior or not, it certainly is an honor- may the best man win." And then came the charge. The Greymon was modified for the offensive, meaning he would have to watch for the extra abilities the cards gifted. Time to move. On muscular legs, Walter bounded into the forest away from the threat of impalement, ducking under the cover of the trees. He did not expect the forest's pines to take the full force of the Dark Champion's power, but it would serve its purpose temporarily- as he weaved between the trees, he heard one splinter behind him, creaking and crashing to the ground messily. Revealing himself from behind another tree, Walter launched his own assault, at a short but significant distance away from his foe- every step counted, in reaction time. It was then that the Greymon would find an arrow of ice being launched at him- Tear Arrow, aimed for the chest. Regardless of where exactly it embedded itself, if they struck the ice would pierce the Dinosaur's skin, causing weakness and cold to spread throughout his body. It wouldn't be enough though, and Walter knew he had to move again. Dashing under the cover of the trees again, the rabbit conjured a ball of ice in his gloves- harmless looking enough, like a large snowball. As he ran, the Lekismon circled around, launched it at the space between Kuro and Rei, skidding to a halt as he did so. He did not intend to hurt the girl, and it was most likely that unless Rei threw herself into it, the shards it exploded into would land nowhere near her. However, the mist would, and on impact it would start to creep out, silently. They wouldn't know what it was at first, of course, but would soon find out when the drowsiness began to seep into their bodies. With any luck, the tamer would be put to sleep- she was only a human, after all, but those cards would give him a lot of grief if he had to deal with them on top of Dark Digivolution. "Claire speech." "Walter speech." ○ LOP SHIELD - A defensive move. Walter shields himself from incoming attacks with his ears. Works well when used against Rookies, but no higher. Can be used three times per thread. ○ MOON NIGHT ADVANCE - Walter's Moon Gloves glow, simulating the effects of the Moon and activating Walter's Moonlight Dancer ability without the need of the Moon's presence. Comes into full effect over three posts, the first adding a 10% boost to his speed, the next post 20%, and finally 30% at the third post at full Moonlight Dancer capacity. If the Moon is already out, Walter gains a flat speed bonus of 10% ( capping at 40% total ) instead of the gradual increase. Currently 20%. ○ TEAR ARROW - Summons an arrow of ice and fires it at the foe. Causes freezing cold upon impact, causing shivering and weakness for one post. One post cooldown. 0/1 ○ GOODNIGHT BOMB - Summons a perfect sphere of ice in his hands that is then thrown at the foe. Explodes on contact and releases a mist that causes foes to experience major drowsiness for 2 posts, slowing them down. Has a 50% chance of putting lower leveled Digimon to sleep entirely. Has a 3 post cooldown. 0/3

If there was one thing he had to admit, then it was the fact that Walter was a speedy little fella! Although hor horned charge tore through the tree, his attempt to deflect the arrow seemed to had only succeeded partly. Yes, it was unfortunate but the greysword that swept through the air nimble cleaved the arrow in half, one fragment landing into the nearby tree, while the remaining fragment pierced his skin. Although the attack had been partly weakened, Kuro could feel the chill run across his body as the arrow's lingering effect was still felt to a certain degree. The dinosaur roared once more, his muscles tensing as he pulled out the arrow with a little grunt, but it was at that time he noticed the movement in the corner of his eye: Walter was up to something, and judging from the fact the attack wasn't aimed at him, it seemingly missed its trajectory, causing Kuro to grin for a moment, a grin that faded away when the Rei's voice resounded through the air "Kuro, get away from there!" Rei's warning seemed to had come too late as the projectile exploded, a mist had started to spread near the point of impact, and while it didn't reach Kuro, the mist did seem to be heading into the direction of his tamer, soon engulfing her as drowsiness settled in. "Kuro..." The girl wobbled lightly for a moment, seemingly disorientated by the mist when finally her body ceased to move and her calm breathing suggested she had fallen asleep. It appeared this strategy had hit a nerve with Kuro, who made a loud bellowing roar that would most likely fill anyone who heard it with a sense of despair. In the end the Despair Roar he unleashed was infused with the very essence of his darker existence. And to make matters worse the dinosaur wasn't done yet! Hoping his stun had disabled Walter he turned toward him, inhaling sharply... "DARK MEGAFLAME!" A large obsidian colored fireball was launched toward Walter, and whether it hit the target or not, the detonation that would follow would surely reveal his plan, for the flames started to scorch the trees, burning violently as their surroundings became a sea of flames! How would Walter deal with the heat of the forest fire, and the fact that his entire cover was now set ablaze! The Black Greymon seemed quite excited to discover the answer, however he was more worried about what would surely have happened to his tamer. "That was an unwise move my friend... Putting Aneki to sleep just stirred something worse." And curiously enough it seemed that the girl had emerged out of the mist, her eyes still closed, what might had suggested she was still asleep. Was she sleep-walking? Or was it something else... For a moment the cloak covering the girl's body seemed to stir, and Walter could have likely been able to see that, if his eyes were focused on Reikiko that several red lights were coming from beneath the parting of her cloak... eyes perhaps? "... Full offensive." The black dinosaur nodded his head as Reikiko's lips moved, and soon Kuro rushed through the burning forest, greysword raised as he attempted to slice at Walter. ----- Kuro's actions: Tried to cleave the arrow with Greysword, part of it still hit him, making him feel slightly weakened for a moment ○ Despair Roar - By unleashing a feral roar the Black Greymon is able to try to intimidate an enemy for a round (counts as a stun/fear effect), and make them have a reduced offensive power for their next attack due to hesitation. Has a 2 posts cooldown Used Dark Megaflame to set the forest on fire, and hopefully hit Walter ○ Dark Megaflame - A twisted version of the fiery attack used by Greymon, this attack makes Black Greymon unleash a large fiery projectile at its enemy. Upon impact the attack detonates in a torrent of black flames, inflicting both fire and darkness element damage upon the foe. Aside from leaving the enemy burning for three rounds, increasing damage of both fire and darkness attacks, this attack also has a dreadful effect in the form of dealing a large area of effect damage around the target, leaving the surrounding area to burn lightly with the black flames! (can count as an AoE) Has a 3 rounds cooldown upon use Tried to do a none-tech slice of Greysword at Walter On terms of why Reikiko is moving, I'll message you in private, albeit a subtle hint has been given already~

Therefore, if it's Despair you consider your enemy, then your enemy is the entire world!

Reikiko Tsukino The mist, at first, seemed to have the desired effect. He felt truly sorry for the young miss- but alas, he couldn't have her getting involved too heavily, if she had more tricks like that cannon lined up. Without hesitation, Walter began to chill the air, his Lunar Rink move slowly becoming active and apparent on the field, frosting the trees and creating a layer of slippery ice on the ground. But of course, few Digimon would take attempts on their tamer- even harmless ones- lying down. As one of those Digimon himself, and Kuro being a Digimon of similar values, it seemed, he knew that for a fact. He returned his attention quickly to the dinosaur, who let out a terrible roar. If possible, this one was worse than the one before it, and terrified Walter momentarily. His vision blurred and shook, freezing him in his place- whether that was from the tremors caused in the air or his own shaking, Walter couldn't tell. But the next thing he knew, a gigantic sphere of dark energy and fire was headed straight for him. Eyes widened, and it was all he could do to force himself to move, clumsily diving to the side but not in time to avoid the hit entirely- his back and legs were burned with both dark and flaming energy, and stung beyond belief. He laid there for just a couple of seconds, stunned as temperatures increased around him. The entire forest was set ablaze, the flames dancing across the trees. The ice from his Lunar Rink move remained, as it wasn't created by natural means- however, this meant that the field now was decorated in both fire and ice. Both Digimon would have their movements restricted, though the advantage of ice was very temporary for Walter. Both Kuro and Rei- somehow- said something in the background, but Walter's own thoughts drowned them out. He heard them, but couldn't listen right now. That sphere by far surpassed what a normal Greymon flame felt like, and a regular Nova Blast was already excruciatingly painful. But it was clear that Kuro's abilities far surpassed his own in his current state, and if he wanted to win, he would have to face what he feared. Walter's pretty pink fur began to turn black. It happened quickly, and less painful than he expected. Wendigomon began to arise from the fallen Lekismon's form, far bigger than he was before. He felt- The sight of Kuro's sword coming at him disappeared as he entered his first rift- out of sight of both Digimon and Tamer. Walter could sense where he was, and felt he just needed to move to where he desired to gain that position. It would be so easy: just walk to the tamer and brea- Break..? His legs and back still burned, but he found himself overcharged with energy, raring to go. He no longer felt afraid- not of Kuro, not of the flames in the forest, not even of losing. It was odd, but Wendigomon felt familiar, natural- as if this were what he was intended to be instead of Lekismon. He smashed downward. The Wendigomon would appear just above Kuro's head, and aimed to grab onto one of his horns with newfound gorilla-like arms for stability- but whether that was a success or not, he would try to go to town on the BlackGreymon's skull with his enlarged fist like a crazed ape, snarling. Break! Break! It's all for you, Claire-- "Claire speech." "Walter speech." ○ MOON NIGHT ADVANCE - Walter's Moon Gloves glow, simulating the effects of the Moon and activating Walter's Moonlight Dancer ability without the need of the Moon's presence. Comes into full effect over three posts, the first adding a 10% boost to his speed, the next post 20%, and finally 30% at the third post at full Moonlight Dancer capacity. If the Moon is already out, Walter gains a flat speed bonus of 10% ( capping at 40% total ) instead of the gradual increase. Currently 30%, ended upon Digivolving to Wendigomon. ○ DARK DIGIVOLUTION - Mechanically, this gives your digimon about 1.5x the abilities of a normal digimon that stage, however, it also starts to lose control as it continues. It will quickly enter a berserker like state where it wont listen to any commands. 1/8, extended by Negative Crest and Red Ring ○ NEODEVIMON'S BLESSING - The same way Neodevimon's Mask assists in restraining its power, Dark Digivolved Digimon in the Ringbound group are able to maintain full control over themselves for longer than they normally would be able to, plus has the additional effect of helping calm and control the Digimon's overloaded mind, removing a single post from the Dark Digivolution cooldown. ○ THE MARK - This Mark gives one a 50% power bonus when using Dark Digivolution. ○ WENDIGO PSYCHOSIS - Wendigomon is naturally violent, and always hungry. His hunger is never satiated however, and with each turn in battle his Wendigo Psychosis drives him to destroy further, increasing offensive and defensive powers by 15%. Will reset upon de-digivolving. 15% more offense and defense, currently. ○ RIFT RIPPER - As a Wendigomon, Walter has the ability to open rifts in space, allowing him to walk a short distance of space between dimensions. To others, this give the appearance of him simply walking forward and disappearing into thin air, and is used to warp short distances. If followed into the rift somehow, the Digimon will be unable to escape it by themselves, unless they have their own dimensional abilities. They will not be stuck there however, and after the rift closes after either one post or Walter exiting, they will be violently expelled from limbo close to where they were before entering. Has a two post cooldown after entering the opening rift, but may exit without using the move again. 0/2 posts cooldown remaining ○ BASIC ATTACK - Attempting to smash down Kuro's head while hanging onto one of his horns, multiple times if possible.

It seemed that Kuro's attempts to assault Walter had been a partial success. Although the fireball had only partly hit his opponent, he was certain the flames that were now burning onto Walter's body would be more than plenty to help him gain an edge in this battle. However, it was a bit unfortunate the beautiful spectacle of the Lunar Rink would soon be vanquished as the black flames burnt onto the battlefield, melting it away while Walter seemed to unleash his own inner-darkness and transformed into a Wendigomon. It was a peculiar gift of the Wendigomon, to disappear into the rifts between the data that made up the Digital World, and with his sword slicing thin air Kuro started to look around for his opponent, a search that was swiftly ended when the Wendigomon appeared right above him, a hand grasping a hold of one of his horns and the other arm balding up into a fist that crashed onto his skull. A vicious attack, and one that made the Black Greymon grunt in pain, his entire body feeling the weight of the crushing blow of the Wendigomon, but in the end he couldn't give up... not yet! This was a fight with more at stake than just his pride! With the Wendigomon being so occupied at slamming his head repeatedly, the bruises on his armored skull appearing little by little Kuro attempted a rather bold move, a single arm raised itself upwards, the one containing the Garuru cannon and started to unleash several shots from it at point-blank. Whatever had happened to each shot remained yet to be seen, but Kuro refused to surrender, and one could argue it was about to become a battle of endurance, the Wendigomon's fist against the skull of the Black Greymon. And then there was obviously the lingering flames he planned to abuse, inhaling sharply as he expelled another stream of fire at the ground, trying to surround the two of them in a maelstrom of flames, the black flames burning without any remorse. "Children of the land do you hear" A soft sound lingered through the air, a melodious voice that seemed to chant, a song that seemed both ominous yet rather familiar in its own way. "Echoes of truths that once rang clear Seven souls intertwined One true destiny they did find Bringing land and heavens near" The voice seemed to be coming from a nearby direction, and a cursory look around the battlefield would have likely hinted at the whereabouts of it: the sleeping tamer was in fact singing a song, the dark aura around her body growing brighter by the moment. "But flames that burn full bright, soon fell dark Memories dimmed by shadowed hearts In the waxing gloom did wane the Seven's moon Watching as their worlds drift apart" Would Walter have known? The song that seemed to represent the past of a certain group, of certain events within the Digital World the girl, who had only arrived a bit more than a month ago, shouldn't have known about? "One soul's cry A passion dwelling within Salvation, a final plea to her kin Yet this bond of hope, by ignorance was broke Scattering her words to the wind" The chant continued, causing Kuro to feel the energy within his body, the dark energy from the mark was steadily rising within his body, growing stronger and more vicious by the moment. "Swelling over long, seas of blood, are a song And death an afterthought To those who fight for naught" Although the sheer strength of the Garuru-cannon had caused the two of them to become coated in a cloud of smoke, the dinosaur couldn't help but wonder how this battle would end, and yet his tamer's song seemed to invigorate him further, making him decide it was time to make Walter learn that not even a dark evolution would be able to stop him from accomplishing his ambitions! "A throne, lying empty A reign, incomplete Alone, for eternity A pain, without cease" And then the final part of the melody came, a sorrowful sound that made Kuro's eyes glow a feint red color. "Children of the land, answer this Why must you turn to empty bliss Tell me why break trust, why turn the past to dust Seeking solace in the abyss Tell me why create, a circle none can break Why must you let go, the peace you were bestowed This I fear I'll never know Never know" The Black greymon was planning something, his body muscles tensing while he prepared for something that would truly be considered devastating... However, upon having taken such a beating the dinosaur did feel the pain of his injuries, his head ringing with a painful sound from all the bashes it had endured, and he was sure that if the two of them were going to be brawling much longer, that he was going to be in a world of troubles! ----- Kuro's actions: Kuro's tainted flames melted the Lunar Rink's ice ○ Tainted Flames - Thanks to the dark energy of his evolution Kuro's fire attacks are known to have obtained an unnatural affinity to burn even those who normally show a certain immunity toward it. Aside from granting him a passive piercing effect to enemies (ignoring damage resistances to his attacks) he also is able to still cause burns to enemies that are normally immune to fire or darkness-based attacks. However, in return Kuro's vulnerability toward light-based enemies is tripled. Got grabbed by Wendigomon as a result of the Rift Ripper's ambush, and got skull bashed repeatedly till he tried to grab Walter's arm and fire several cannon blasts into Walter from point-blank, albeit due to the odd angle they use might be limited Bitfire was used with the aim being the ground to surround both in fire ○ Bitfire - A series of fireballs are launched at the enemy with the intention of burning them to cinders! has a fire property no cooldown Kuro is showing signs of exhaustion and some serious damage from that beating.

Therefore, if it's Despair you consider your enemy, then your enemy is the entire world!

► oh it eats us alive Yes there's a scream inside That we all try to hide We hold on so tight But I don't wanna die

Reikiko Tsukino With each smash of Kuro's head, Walter became more aggressive. Even as Lekismon- a Digimon obviously built for punching and speed- he'd never felt this sort of strength within him before. It was energizing, and though in the back of his mind, somewhere, he was sickened with himself, the Wendigomon found himself enjoying it. Boom! Boom! As his attack continued, multiple shots from the fearsome Garuru Cannon shot off into the air- the angle was awkward, but still very close range. Upon haphazardly raising his fist on one of his many strikes, Walter took one directly in the hand- he roared in agony as it burned, dissolving the hair and flesh on his fist with vehemence. But that wasn't the only heat he felt- flames and smoke burned all around. It was in his eyes, in his fur and very skin, and the damage and pain was taking its toll on the monstrous Digimon. He could feel his energy being drained though it, causing him to grip the saurian's horn tighter, as pain flooded through him. The battle had to end soon, and the Wendigomon was determined to be the one that ended it. But time was ticking, and the flames were doing their job, eating away at his body. Claire. Fight through it for her. With the hand still clutching onto the horn, Walter yanked the branch- hard, hard enough to be an attempt to break it off with his muscle, or if not, possibly strain or injure the Greymon's neck with the force of his pull. Whether or not he was successful in that endeavor, he had to keep moving, and at least try to get out of the heat before he turned to ash. The song was paid no mind, as he had his own song to sing. A roar- Destroyed Voice- was unleashed as Walter kicked off of the Greymon's head, launching himself into the sky. The sound was a massive shock wave, and one that would crack rocks and bark. If successful- it would be difficult to avoid- both tamer and Digimon would be temporarily deafened on top of dealing major damage. Unfortunately, that would mean that Rei would also likely be caught in the area of effect. It was not his intention, but perhaps he would have paid more attention to it, were he in his right mind. But the Wendigomon was consumed with desire and desperation for victory- he wasn't thinking about it. Of course, what goes up must come down. And down he came, heavily plummeting toward the BlackGreymon, dropping through the vision-obscuring, choking smoke. Surely, the audience was thrilled. "Claire speech." "Walter speech." Offense Boost: 85% Defense Boost: 30% Speed Boost: 0% SPOILER: Click to show ○ INJURED - One of Walter's hands is useless for the rest of the battle, due to taking a direct hit from Garuru Cannon. He is also suffering from serious flame damage. ○ DARK DIGIVOLUTION - Mechanically, this gives your digimon about 1.5x the abilities of a normal digimon that stage, however, it also starts to lose control as it continues. It will quickly enter a berserker like state where it wont listen to any commands. 2/8, extended by Negative Crest and Red Ring ○ NEODEVIMON'S BLESSING - The same way Neodevimon's Mask assists in restraining its power, Dark Digivolved Digimon in the Ringbound group are able to maintain full control over themselves for longer than they normally would be able to, plus has the additional effect of helping calm and control the Digimon's overloaded mind, removing a single post from the Dark Digivolution cooldown. ○ THE MARK - This Mark gives one a 50% power bonus when using Dark Digivolution. ○ WENDIGO PSYCHOSIS - Wendigomon is naturally violent, and always hungry. His hunger is never satiated however, and with each turn in battle his Wendigo Psychosis drives him to destroy further, increasing offensive and defensive powers by 15%. Will reset upon de-digivolving. 30% more offense and defense, currently. ○ RIFT RIPPER - As a Wendigomon, Walter has the ability to open rifts in space, allowing him to walk a short distance of space between dimensions. To others, this give the appearance of him simply walking forward and disappearing into thin air, and is used to warp short distances. If followed into the rift somehow, the Digimon will be unable to escape it by themselves, unless they have their own dimensional abilities. They will not be stuck there however, and after the rift closes after either one post or Walter exiting, they will be violently expelled from limbo close to where they were before entering. Has a two post cooldown after entering the opening rift, but may exit without using the move again. 1/2 posts cooldown remaining ○ BASIC ATTACK - Walter attempted to break off one of Kuro's horns, possibly gaining himself a weapon if successful. ○ DESTROYED VOICE - Roars a destructive shockwave powerful enough to break rocks and cause cracks in armor, damaging foes and deafening them for three turns. Has a three post cooldown. 0/3 posts cooldown remaining.

To say that the struggle was real would likely had been an understatement, and while his Garuru cannon was doing a good job at torching the head-borne Walter, the vicious pull on his horn seemed to make Kuro let out a deafening roar, one that as Walter unleashed a thundering roar caused both Tamer and Kuro alike to find themselves deafened, and to make matters worse Reikiko's eyes finally opened, to a sight she didn't want to see. Kuro collapsed onto a knee, one of his horns seemingly torn off as bits of data streamed off the injury, and slowly the dinosaur collapsed onto his front. Was this the end? Kuro could sense his tamer's presence, but he was too weakened to say anything properly, he even was forced to use all his strength to keep his evolution going. However, for Reikiko the sight of her severely injured partner induced only one emotion: despair. Staggering slightly backwards the girl tried to grasp for her head, tears running down her cheeks while a black shadowy substance seemed to creep out from beneath the cloak, gently wrapping around her throat like a scarf and moving sideways around her head till it gently covered a part of her cheek. He is dying... He is dying... He is dying... Although she knew that Digimon could reincarnate as an egg, the sensations of the battlefield had robbed her of that sense of reasoning, and instead that same voice kept repeating itself into her head He is dying Your despair tastes so sweet He is dying Grant me but a taste of it He is dying And I shall grant you power... It was like the temptation of the devil himself, but at this point she couldn't care. If it could save Kuro, then perhaps she had no choice but to give in to that offer. Her eyes suddenly sharpened as her lips curved up into a smile, and beneath the cloak her hands moved. Kuro could feel it, the soundless call of Reikiko's feelings, the tainted energy coursing through his body, and seemingly renewing him with vigor just as the Wendigomon descended Reikiko's scheme revealed itself, for when Walter started his descend the sound of a loud bell started ringing through the air. "Time's up..." Under her cloak Reikiko had secretly activated her first card, 5.Ginkakumon's For Whom The Bell Tolls (Instantaneous), a powerful elusive card that would mark Walter and increase his damage taken, but that was not the end of it. With the Wendigomon descending toward the surface Kuro, who was still struggling to get up suddenly had a collection of large black tendrils spawn from his back! The card with the number 98. Arkadimon's Dystopia Lances. This special card, of the ultra rare variant didn't just send a torrent of black tentacles at a blinding speed toward the descending Walter, but they also attempted to coil around his limps, some even trying to impale parts of his body, hoping to render the Wendigomon trapped in mid-air as Kuro finally rose onto his feet. "GO!" The final command, the final order was given as Kuro's greysword shone violently and the Black Greymon hoped that if Walter was caught in the tendrils, that he would forcefully pull him down as the sword tried to impale his head. However, if his attempt failed and Walter somehow got freed to continue the assault, Kuro would find himself collapsing back onto his knees. His energy was gone, at best he could see whether his final effort paid off, or... if he would have lost the battle. No matter the end result, it would have been a glorious battle. ----- Actions: Rei activated 2 cards as Walter descended (pretty much at the same time): Dystopia lances: The huge number of tentacles growing as its limbs all charge to pierce its target. with the attempt to forcefully bind Walter during his descend (and impale him in several limbs) Ginkakumon's For Whom The Bell Tolls (Instantaneous) +50% Damage taken for one full round Tried to deliver a final attack with Omnimon's greysword

► oh it eats us alive Yes there's a scream inside That we all try to hide We hold on so tight But I don't wanna die

Reikiko Tsukino Horn successfully obtained, Walter gripped the item in his good hand as he fell, aiming to come down with the dinosaur's own natural weapon on his head. This was it, this was definitely it- both he and his foe were exhausted, both driven on sheer devotion. For those few seemingly slow seconds, he could see the pair beneath him, and had a sudden desire to destroy them both where they stood. The urge was unnatural, and he nearly shocked himself with the thought. That... that wasn't him. The Wendigomon did not hear the bell, or if he did, the Wendigomon again paid the sound no mind, filled with the adrenaline of Dark Digivolution and the natural psychosis of his own form. The tendrils that rose up to meet him couldn't be avoided, not in midair. There was nothing he could do- there were too many of them, and with his momentum from the skies, Walter fell right into them. With a scream of agony, he was impaled in multiple places on his limbs and torso, one narrowly missing his head but instead coming back down to curl around his neck instead. His arms and legs restrained, Walter thrashed like an animal- but energy draining, the fire still affecting him, he was unable to free himself. And there they held him up, a sitting duck, a fly caught in a web. 'No! NO NO NO NO NO!' He was out of luck, and out of moves. The Destroyed Voice would not come, Rift Ripper refused to take him, and arms were held by Cable Crusher. With his final thoughts, he felt the mortality of the situation sink in- even Predator's Cannon would be useless against this fire-aligned enemy. Surely though, it would kill his tamer. The cannon on his chest opened as Kuro stood. They were right beneath him- he could easily shoot now, and not miss his mark. While BlackGreymon possibly had resistance, she did not, and killing her would break his foe... even if he were to die himself shortly after. He could still win, with the remainder of his energy. 'Kill her.' By now Kuro stood, and the final command was given. His own flames shone in his chest in that split second, preparing to fire deadly incendiary bullets. He stopped himself. Walter was not going to be a murderer. Not to a young girl, just to win a tournament. How could he? How could he even think to do such a thing? That girl- Rei, he vaguely remembered, in his haze- he couldn't end her. It went against everything he tried to be- a good Digimon, at his very core. His body and very core wanted him to destroy, but that wasn't him. Disgust and self-loathing boiled angrily in his stomach, entirely directed at himself. Just because he had failed- something entirely his own fault- he considered doing something despicable. But for Claire... He didn't have a chance to change his mind. The last thing Walter heard was the bloodthirsty screaming of the crowd as the sword ran through his head. The Digimon's body stiffened- a strangled noise escaped his mouth- then burst into data that streamed out through the air. "Claire speech." "Walter speech." Offense Boost: 85% Defense Boost: -5% Speed Boost: 0% SPOILER: Click to show ○ FATALLY INJURED, DESTROYED - One of Walter's hands is useless for the rest of the battle, due to taking a direct hit from Garuru Cannon. He is also suffering from serious flame damage. Pierced by Dystopia Lance and impaled with Omnimon's Greysword. Defeated. ○ GINKAKUMON'S FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS - +50% Damage taken for one full round. ○ DARK DIGIVOLUTION - Mechanically, this gives your digimon about 1.5x the abilities of a normal digimon that stage, however, it also starts to lose control as it continues. It will quickly enter a berserker like state where it wont listen to any commands. 3/8, extended by Negative Crest and Red Ring ○ NEODEVIMON'S BLESSING - The same way Neodevimon's Mask assists in restraining its power, Dark Digivolved Digimon in the Ringbound group are able to maintain full control over themselves for longer than they normally would be able to, plus has the additional effect of helping calm and control the Digimon's overloaded mind, removing a single post from the Dark Digivolution cooldown. ○ THE MARK - This Mark gives one a 50% power bonus when using Dark Digivolution. ○ WENDIGO PSYCHOSIS - Wendigomon is naturally violent, and always hungry.

It seemed the decisive moment had arrived, although Walter had granted him the most exciting fight of his life, it was time to end it, and with the Black Greymon pulling the Wendigomon out of the air, there was no hope left. The large greysword swept through the air, a clean penetrating blow to the head of Walter, and as the smoke settled the crowd could see that the end had drawn near on their entertainment for that round. The poor Wendigomon had been impaled upon the sword, and as the body started to dissolve into data, Reikiko stepped slowly forwards as her partner started to shrink back into the small form of a black raptor. "Ane---ki" Kuro's coughed painfully as he was trying to get onto his feet, but with the adrenaline rush from his Dark Evolution gone it was simply too difficult for him to stand properly, all he could do was watch the fate of the Lopmon. The data was right there, fresh for the picking and sure to grant Kuro a boon of power. Even if she heard the temptation to surrender to this lust for power, the moment her hand raised itself toward the data, she remembered Kuro's words. Walter had been fighting for such a sweet goal, could she truly condemn him for such an action? A playful sigh escaped her parted lips as Reikiko whispered something under her breath, opening her cloak just enough that a small black stream of energy flown out of it, wrapping around the data, but instead of consuming it, she seemed to be melding it back together into a form of a Digiegg. "I tasted it just now little Walter. Your despair for failing your tamer." A surprising comment was made by Reikiko as she gently rested a hand upon the shell of the digitama, allowing her cloak to slowly close once more while she hummed softly. "In exchange for giving me such a delicious meal, and for giving Kuro such a wonderful battle I shall spare you. Consider it a reward for a glorious battle..." And with those words she turned toward the seats of the Seven, her eyes briefly locking with the man called Crow as she smiled, an elegant bow being made as the dark shadowy fur on the side of her cheek faded away, and finally upon leaving the arena Reikiko ensured that when Walter's tamer came to pick up Walter, that a note accompanied him. Looking forward to a rematch, may your fist never cease fighting for the reason both of us shared, is what my Digimon wanted to tell Walter. I do hope that we'll get to talk in person someday Lady Claire. Best wishes, Reikiko & Kuro and... REDACTED ---- Walter got spared/converted to a Digitama! Lovely fight~

Therefore, if it's Despair you consider your enemy, then your enemy is the entire world!
