The clear, fresh air of nature was impossible to deny, even in the digital world. And the view of the Exalakes were beautiful, glimmering in the sunlight as they spread far before the view of the Nanosphere Forest. From where everyone would arive, it was a breath-taking view. There were no major structures built around, untouched by modern structures.

However, as all those to answer the call of the client in this area would make their way to the lake, they would see them near the shoreline at the closest area of the lake.

In the shallows of the lake, splashing around were a group of small aquatic digimon. A series of Gomamon, Bukamon, multi-colored digifish and other small water digimon who were splashing around in the shallows. They seemed happy and peaceful. However, as one Gomamon saw the new visitors approaching the lakeside, he dove under the water and swam towards the shore. Sticking his head out, he looked to the others to join.

"Hey there! Nice to meet you! You must be the adventurers who came to help, right?" The little Gomamon said and came up to shore. "I'm Gomamon. Thanks for coming. As you I said, we got a serious problem by our new 'next door' neighbors." Gomamon said with a cute 'quotation' sign from his paws.

As they would talk and learn what was going on, a few of the others might notice a slightly out of place feature among the great lakes. Thought he weather was warm and pleasant-- in the distance, was a white bright glimmer on the water. It was reflective and annoying to look at.

Ice. Parts of the lake were iced over by something or someone, clashing with the serene scene of the lakes and Gomamon's home.

(All members begin to enter and soon will listen to Gomamon's problem and ask questions. General intro thread).

Zachary had gotten the help request via Nexus' little notice board on the small island his team had taken base on. He was more than willing to help out-- along with some friends he knew as well. They were on board Mytholomon, Panthermon's Champion form of a winged panther with blazing wings. The mythical animal flew over the trees of the forest till they arrived at the lake. With him was his friend Blake, someone he invited to the mission as well.

Finding the small little shore line with aquatic digimon, they began to descend towards the ground. As they did though, they could see the broken up shelf of ice forming further north of the lakes. It was an odd sight to behold as they drew closer. "That description was on the mark. I didn't think the lakes got frosted over this time of year." Zachary commented.

"There really aren't any seasons in the digital world. There must be something causing that ice there, otherwise there wouldn't be there." Mytholomon growled as they began to slowly descend to the ground.

Finally, the cat landed softly on the sandy beach of the lake with a flap of his wings. As he did, Zachary swung himself over and off his partner's back. As he and his friend did the same, Mytholomon glowed for a moment and shrunk in size, returning to his rookie form of Panthermon in a matter of seconds.

Approaching the Gomamon who welcomed them, Zachary smiled to the little digimon. He found him adorable and wished he could pet him but he tried to keep professional in the face of their 'client.' "Hi there. Yeah, we got the job request. So what is the problem? Are evil digimon causing you grief?" Zachary asked, leaning down to get closer to Gomamon.

Panthermon walked beside his tamer, listening quietly but attentively. He also observed as other members joined them. For now, they were all gonna meet one another and listen to what the little Gomamon had to tell them about the problems plaguing the lake.

(Active member of Nexus-using nexus benefits.)

The group had received a notification from one of the local digimon not too far from their base looking to find a little bit of help with a problem he was experiencing. Naturally being new to the area the group wanted to help the locals, and get them on their side. If they aren’t against us they were for us type of mentality.

The group mounted the back of Zachary’s digivolved Panthermon called mytholomon. The mighty wings were something of beauty as sparks of fire fell from them like fireflies in the night sky. Blake would look down at his partner, and would smile; “This is our first real mission Blue let's try to do our best.”The digimon would bark, and his tail would begin to sway from side to side. “Don’t worry Blake, I will do everything in my power to help the client out!” He would retort. Very few things had changed personality wise about his partner since his digivolution he was still as loyal as ever. This was something he was proud of; that a digimon he had envisioned when he was a child had somehow made its way to life.

After a short flight the group would land at a lake where a rambunctious Gomamon would make its way to the group immediately questioning the group about its motives. “So, you got a bad ‘neighbor’ huh?” The tamer would begin to study the surroundings with the out of ordinary ice when panthermon would speak of there not being seasons in the digital world. This was a really strange place to visit, and something that would be difficult to get used to. “Well if the seasons don’t change, and this is a tropical esque climate then that means that the digimon causing the ruckus uses ice based attacks.” He would continue to look at the terrain, and would smile “Well what exactly is the task you want us to complete?” He would question the sea otter digimon.

"Wait! Wait! One second!" A voice would call out from across the shore-line. Fast approaching the group was an individual that at first glance, looked androgynous, though closer inspection would definitely give signs that this individual was a girl.

Nikumo rushed towards where the two tamers and the group of aquatic Digimon were, stopping to catch her breath; inhaling and exhaling deeply. "... Nikumo Takara. Member of Nexus, here. Just... give me a second to cough up a lung, could you?"

Strapped to the girl's back, a tan-furred Digimon that resembled a cat popped out, snickering to themselves. "Gee, for having such long legs; you run slow Nikky." The Meicoomon would snicker slightly; amused by the girl's exhaustion as she sat all comfy in the girl's bag. Despite her small and cute looks, it was clear however that this small feline Digimon was in fact a Champion level; and certainly had the strength to back that claim up/

Edward sighed and looked at his digivice, there was a mission for him to partake in, one that could net him some bits and replenish his empty coffers, but it seemed more hassale than it was worth it to him honestly. However there was one thing that did interest him. The fact that it was calling for more than one person to help out. Other people there meant that he had a chance to learn more about what other factors were at play in the digital world. It was a hard choice, but eventually he rolled himself out of their bed and kissed Karisa's forehead. She was still sleeping and he thought that it might be nice to let her sleep in for this mission.

With his mind made up he walked into a digital gate and exited in Exalakes a few feet away from where the digimon wanted the others to meet up. He arrived a bit late, but he heard most of what the digimon had to say along with all the question the others had to ask, he had one thing on his mind though one thing that would help him understand this situation a bit better. “How long have they been here for and how fast is that ice growing?” If he knew the rate of the ice growth then he might have a better idea of what kind of digimon they were going to deal with.

The Gomamon watched as everyone arrived and spoke up. One of them, Faust asked how long the ice had appeared. Sadly the cheerful looking Gomamon frowned. "It happened about three days ago," he said, remembering the days before-- far more peaceful than they were now. "We all were just enjoying the warm weather, swimming, fishing you know... what any aqua digimon would do. But then a group of digimon soon arrived from the north end of the lake. Then one day, a huge wall of ice soon was put up by a bunch of bad digimon. They completely cut off the rest of the lake, keeping us in this smaller area. They pretty much bullied us out of the rest of the lake. "

From afar, they could see it, series of ice bridges and platforms upon the surface of the lake. While they appeared far away... what they saw was but a small section of the lake. It extended much further than they could see.

"Hold on, how could they cut you off from from the rest of the lake? It's just ice, right? Can't you just swim under it?" Zachary asked.

Gomamon frowned. "We could if we would-- but the bad digimon froze the ice wall all the way to the bottom of the lake floor. We can't swim through that or dig under it. " The gomamon said, clearly sad as they had tried it before. "We really need them to stop. I don't want anyone to be hurt but they are taking over the whole lake. Can you stop them please?"

The path was similar to a dungeon-- save for now a path of ice that ran from one end of the lake to another section, further inside the lake. The good news was that they had an area to walk across, but the problem was any hazards hidden beneath the ice and the watery areas behind it.

(OOC: Mission will be similar to a dungeon, following a path to a certain point.)

(OOC: Player Post-- also pardon commentary in GM post-- just was consistent with plot moment) 

Gomamon's request seemed sincere and it was clear the ice did not belong to this lake. Something unnatural indeed made the ice, but it was liekly something not completely forign either. 

Zachary crossed his arms as he listened to the digimon and his problem. "Don't worry, Gomamon. We can do it, no problem. " Zachary said without hesitation.

Panthermon observed the ice flow a bit of a walk away. They would travel across the edge of the lake where the ice would form then walk across the platforms. However, there was no way of telling what kind of digimon was responsible. "We should be careful. There is no way to tell who or what is responsible. But they must be strong to arrest control of such a wide area. "

ONce the two made sure the others were ready, they would proceed towards the start of the ice flow-- where the sandy beach met the solid ice covering the water. The ice was solid like rock for the time being, making it safe to walk across-- but there was no way to tell how long it would stay that way or if other patches were unsafe. Still they had to start somewhere.

Nikumo

Well, at least she wasn't the only one who was perhaps running a bit behind. Another human quickly arrived on the scene, though he didn't appear to have a partner with him... so Spirit Wielder? Pretty neat she had to admit. Spirit Wielding in general was a neat idea, but she certainly felt that she would not have lasted a minute as one. After all, you are putting YOURSELF on the line when doing it.

The mission relayed to them by Gomamon seemed simple enough at the very least, though Nikumo did sorta wish she had picked her clothing differently. "Gee, if I had known we were going to basically have Winter in July." The boyish-looking girl would sarcastically comment before looking down towards the Gomamon. "I mean, this doesn't sound too hard... Just need to go and kick these ice dudes that are freezing everything up for ya guys outta here, no?"

Nikumo's partner nodded at her tamer's personal thoughts on the matter, though seemed a bit disappointed about something. "Shame that the ice is bothering you folks. In the right hands, something lovely could be made out of it." Nyx would idly comment as she hopped out of Nikumo's bag, the small Champion level dwarfed by her tamer. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about here, for even if they suddenly were surprised by something much stronger than they originally expected; she'd have a backup plan for all this. "Heheh. Stay frosty tigger. Or don't. Get it? It's a pun. Because ice." Nyx would begin to speak towards the Panthermon, the Meicoomon snickering to herself at her own bad humor. Sometimes it was the little things in life that were the most amusing.

Either way, the pair was ready to head off.

“Three days......” It took three days to create such a thing and to block them off from the other side of the lake. He was relieved at this it meant that they were either going to be facing a champion level digimon or an ultimate at worse. Had it been a mega the rate of ice creation would have been much faster than what he was told. He had what he needed to know, the next part was to actually destroy all the digimon that were causing this and to eradicate the ice. He knew that the fastest way was just to go ulti and blast that thing from the sky drawing out all the digimon, but then he wouldn't see the full potential of all the others around him.

Silently he started towards the ice patch, a bit cautious if he should even step on it, it looked safe for now, but that could very well change given how much weight was put on it. “Until we get to the more frozen ice I suggest we go one at a time on this, I don't trust the ice.” With that said he would wait for others to get across before going himself not wanting to trust those around him to listen to his words.

[Blake Winchester]

Blake looked on as his leader Zach was promising the small rookie level digimon that they would stop the trouble. "Blue I know ice is your forte, but remember that these digimon must be strong ice users as well undoubtedly stronger than us." The small dog would bark, "I won't forget Blake we just have to go about this strategically. We don't want anyone to get hurt we just want to run them off. "

The boy would nod as he made his way to an ice path that wasn't a sturdy as the rest. "I don't guess anyone has an aquatic digimon so we need to try to make it a little closer to the ice field before crossing. Personally I don't want to be soaking wet when we enter that winter wonder land." He would turn to face the Gomamon, and would wave. "Don't worry little buddy we will take care of this. I don't think I am strong enough to be of much help, but we will help where we can right Blue?" The small blue and white dog digimon would bark in agreement. Walking along the shore of the lake he would pull out his digivice, and load up the nexus app. "Hey guys we have some thicker ice up here I think we should be able to cross it."

"Okay... Thanks so much for agreeing. Just be careful out there!" Gomamon said, happy to see the tamers and their digimon agree to help them-- including a spirit user as well. "GOOD LUCK!" Gomamon called out, waving his little paw at them as they left.


First Ice Formation

It was a single ice path before them-- and it was a solid path. Slippery, but solid as they traveled along the lake's shore and met where the ice met with the barrier of the lake that the other digimon were cut off from. They could easily walk along it and because it reached all the way to the bottom to keep things that way, there was no fear of it breaking on them-- for now anyway.

As they slowly would make their way down the pathway-- the water of the lake on either side of them, things were quiet.

However-- as they reached a wider section of the ice, movement stirred below the water. And then they emerged.

Hopping out quickly, they peeked out of the water! Mean looking digimon. Several of them! Some where yellow-furred digimon with spiny backs and another was a series of green digimon with red fins and little claws-- both of them rather toothy at the mouth.

A total of 20 of them were on the platform, ten up front and ten behind them, cutting off any escape!

You been cornered by a pack of Betamon and Gizamon. There are 10 of each. Fight and defeat them in order to advance.

The quip from the young girl's digimon named Nyx, caused Panthermon to turn his head in its direction and gave it a sarcastic, dull glare at the ice pun. "Oh, you're hilarious, lambchop," Panthermon said in a dull growl and turned to focus on the trail before them leading to the late and ice.

Zachary couldn't help but laugh at the lambchop quip and the reminder of the old sockpuppet he knew from very early childhood. Still, for now they all knew what they had to do! Ralleying up Blake and Nikumo who was there, Zachary took a deep breath and they proceeded to the ice shelf.

As they got there, Zachary cautiously stepped slowly, not wanting to slip on the ice. Needless to say, Panthermon's own paws on the ice slipped easily, him using his claws to keep in place as well. They had to be careful, especially with the open areas of water around them. If they fell in, even though it was not an artic winter area, falling into the water with this much ice would be deadly for hypothermia. "Careful not to fall in guys, " Zachary warned.

However, as they got to the middle ground of the icy path-- it was then that the other digimon suddenly began to appear. They emerged from the water and hopped onto the ice-- cutting off any means of escape from either end. Holding his digivice, Zachary checked up on them while Panthermon growled in a threatening manner to his enemies.

This time, using his new advance Digimon Analyzer-- instead of the single holographic disc screen-- multiple ones appeared to give a far more detailed readout of the digimon before him. Oh boy... Let's see... Gizamon, virus type Deep savior class digimon. Special attacks are Fin-Cutter, and Rip Tide attacks that slice with water. " he said, then scrolled to the other one. "And... Betamon. Virus type, deep saviors and nature spirit class. Special attack is Water Tower and Beta Shocker."

As he lowered the device, the multiple screens faded. "Careful. Out of them Betamon is the one to use electric attacks! " Zachary warned the others.

However, Panthermon was not one to wait! "SPIRAL FLAME!!" Panthermon roared, launching a spiraling jet of fire out at the first Gizamon in front of them.

... however a hit from a fire attack was not going to do much good. The flames of the attack only would aggitate the frog-like digimon. However, Panthermon charged forward, and his claws glowed dark with energy.

"SHADOW CLAW!!" He roared, slashing a black paw at the Gizamon. The claw strike sliced through the Gizamon, causing to let out a cry of anger as it was struck.

Needless to say, the hostile digimon were not beyond repaying an eye for an eye as they would soon learn. But these were not some stuck up digimon. They were hostile and not likely to be reasoned with.

(OOC: Revealed data for enemy digimon. Panthermon assaulted a single Gizamon with Spiral Flame and Shadow Claw. Naturally, having a fire attack was not effective so used darkness instead)

[Blake Winchester]

Blake would follow behind his brethren Zach the only member of Nexus that he had truly had a close bond built with. The thought of the lambchop comment made the tamer snicker; Panthermon certainly was an odd fellow, but his satire was genius Once they made their journey onto the ice shelf blake would note the difficulty keeping his balance as something that could hinder his performance. Looking down at his partner he could see the ease of walking across the ice it was as if he was made for this habitat. “Man Blue glad to see you are handling this okay.” The boy would stagger to comment as he attempted to keep focus to avoid falling. The dog would bark; “of course I am used to this Blake this is my home turf, well not here, but frozen terrain.”

As their walk continued Blake would hear his partner begin to growl, and would quickly turn his attention to him. “What's the matter boy?” he would mutter as his partners eyes would begin to widen. “There are digimon here; lots of them, and they have evil intent.” That was when the digimon would make themselves known to the tamers. “Well guys I guess we couldn’t really avoid a conflict, and these fish for brains don’t seem to be in the mood to listen. Tear them up Blue!” The dog type digimon would bark, and would leap in front of the group, and was shocked at the display of Panthermon. He would then lock onto the scent of one of the Betamon, and would begin to channel his energy deep within “Tempest Bark!” He would shout as he barked releasing a beam of a mini tornado at the betamon. Upon contact the Betamon would be knocked into a block of ice behind it. There were too many enemies for the group to hold back so the dog type digimon would begin to churn into the icy depths of its body “Icicle Pummel!” He would shout as he launched a barrage of icicles at the enemy he had just attacked. The icicles pierced the very digimon turning him into a pin cushion, and shortly after a dust of data.

(Battle Synopsis: Blue used Tempest Bark, and Icicle Bark which is a piercing attack on Betamon making quick work of him.)

[Faust]

He sighed as he heard the horrible pun come from the little digimon that the effeminate male carried. It was so bad that he actually brought his hand up to meet his face and did a literal face palm. “Don't tell a joke or pun again.” His tone was cold and rather harsh at the little digimon. While he wasn't one to be rude from the get go there was a limit to how much he would tolerate from someone and sadly that little digimon used up his tolerance with that one silly and stupid pun. Not that it really mattered given his goal for this was just to get payed for an easy mission and not to make friends.

As he walked on the ice path he remained silent making sure to take note of the ice before him and the stability of it all. Then it happened, almost as if it was predictable digimon rose up from the water and onto the ice from all sides they seemed to be surrounded, however Faust wasn't fazed by this in the slightest. He knew that they would face opposition in their quest to take down whatever was making this ice and if anyone else wasn't they would be fools. From the looks of it all the digimon appeared to be only rookie level. “Child's play.” He said as he pulled out his digivice and rolled it over his hand changing into angemon.

There was no need to use his real champion form for this battle, his armor champion would be strong enough to deal with these virus types. Given that he was empowered against the virus types that they were. Being the last to get on the ice he was behind the rest of the group and with a smile across his face he started to spin his staff around. A twister formed infront of him and he launched it at the group of digimon behind them. The roaring twister would pick up in size as it moved flinging the rookie level digimon left and right destroying some of them, but most importantly getting rid of them from their rear side.

(Used god's typhoon to remove all digimon from the back side of the group. )

[Nikumo Takara]

What
You Stupid Or Somethin'?

Nikumo

"Aww, where's your sense of humor twinkle toes?" The Meicoomon would laugh slightly towards the lavender-haired young man, his annoyance only just making her more willing to tease him. Either way, looked like they were about to head off... "Call me when you dorks get into trouble, kay? Don't get killed too quick." She would say to her teammates before diving back into her tamer's bag.

Nikumo squinted at the trollish cat, shaking her head slightly. "Of all the Digimon to be partnered with, I get partnered with a dick. Couldn't have been a nice, fluffy bunny. Fuckin' hell." She would idly mumble to herself as she began to follow everyone else down the icy path.

It wouldn't take long however before their group was soon ambushed... Guess no surprise there. They WERE basically walking into a beehive at this point. "Gee, almost kinda feel bad. I mean, they all are kinda cute actually." The girl would comment, sighing slightly. Oh well, they were in the way. "Take it from here I guess Nyx." She'd say idly to the feline Digimon in her backpack; they swiftly hopping out.

Their group quickly went to work, each individually launching their own attacks at the offending aquatic Digimon. Nyx on the otherhand seemed to stay a bit idle, taking notice at the Spirit Wielder's attack. Oooh... perfect. "Hey angel butt. Cool move you just did. Let me do it better." The Meicoomon would giggle to herself some, her eyes glowing softly; the Champion level creating her carbon copy of the Angemon's twister and sending it off into the group of hostile Digimon; it not any less powerful.
