She was knocked down from the slashed, groaning, "Ow... Okay, sheesh, I don't think I can beat that..."


She chuckled, "Oh, dear."[rand=215195547090843322164351791143417440958440629765397910787088330835]

[kelik]

Nope! Just a few errands.

"Ok got it!" He punched out some more, trying to get some more spirit into it.

@valhawkmon@ "Oh?" He turned to her. "What'cha got?"[rand=2397817177867603848287697819559566395132013187084916036319163297347]

"Come on, Kaz, you're made of stronger stuff than that! Realize that power! Make it yours! COME ON!"
That's when SHE fired back.
(Power)
[dice=17][dice=17][dice=17]
You are now cleared to gain digisoul level 1

Brick stopped and helped up Kaida.

"Don't worry, Kaida, you're new at this," he said with a smile, "Take a break, then, we don't need anyone getting hurt."

Lex again got a chip off his disk.

Thad tried AGAIN, another full cylinder.

(Disk2: Defense)
[dice=40][dice=40]
(HP= 93-13-16=64!)

Thad got TWO shots that chipped his disk.


"Excellent!"


"Nice shooting, kid!"

---


"Indeed...Watch this."
She snapped her fingers and two dummies appeared, shaped like the Kuwagamon they had faced.
"Here, take one of my blades."
She handed it to Brett, and lined up on it.

(Dummy)
HP=30
Defense= 15.
All other stats 0.


"Now. Watch carefully."
She lowered the blade almost perpendicular to the ground and sighed a bit, exhaling-
Then she swept up and to the left side, flipped her blade in her hand, cut right, across the body parellel to the ground, and, flipping her blade again, cut down and through the left.
"The Plateau. Crosswinds," she said crisply.

(Attack: The Plateau: Crosswinds. One of Mulan's secret techniques, it requires her to be wielding only one sword. In this instance, it uses three extremely fast chained strikes in that pattern. The effect of this attack is that if the first attack hits, the consecutive two are calculated against defense rather than speed, and if the first is blocked or dodged, the following attacks are not calculated at all.)

(HP= GONE)


"WOAH! COOL!"[rand=436706121545285870327194221317864785253256559372790903423447162]

[Candescence]

She nodded, sitting down, "Whew... I'm new to fighting, I mean, I've only been a Digimon for just a day..."

[kelik]

"!?" He looked surprised when she fired. "WHOA!" Suddenly, an aura flared up around him...

HP: 35
Power: 12
Speed: 15
Defense: 12
Mental: 5

[dice=15] [dice=15] [dice=15]

[dice=12]

35 - 1 = 34

He just barely dodged the attack, taking a small cut on the cheek. "....huh?" He looked surprised.

-------------------

"Nice, Thad." He looked over. Sadly, his mental boost wore off, but he's not down yet...

[dice=16][dice=16][dice=16][dice=16][dice=16]

-------------------

@valhawkmon@ "Holy cow, that was COOL!" He jumped too.[rand=568914956003882343278179505016884784094092614041439364032746632543]

[BlueLoneWolf]

"Hey, now, there you go!" said Andorra, smiling, "Nice work! Finally got you to get something going!"


"Well, it's got to be better than being shut up inside Kaz's head. Now you can actually feel and eat and see things for yourself. And you've got free will instead of being a figment of his subconscious."

---


"Thanks, Lex."

(Disc2: Speed)
[dice=40][dice=40][dice=40][dice=40][dice=40]
Sorry, Lex, no good, you miss all those shots.

Thad fired again, just three shots this time. His boost was also gone, but he got some digisoul power back.
(Mental)
[dice=20][dice=20][dice=20]

(Disc1: Speed)
[dice=40][dice=40][dice=40]
His next three shots went wild, too.


"Damn! If only we could speed up our fire! Or slow them down!"


"'Ere you go. Was wondering when someone would ask that question."

---


"Your compliments are appreciated," said Mulan with a laugh, "I don't demonstrate many of my moves, but I thought it best if you could learn some new attacks of your own."


"Do I even get to learn attacks? I'm a human."


"Battle techniques such as that, you should grasp fine," giggled Mulan, "Attacks that involve mental prowess or special weapons, no."[rand=4842628277838235085128992795944161094810115173464760921460110694]

[Candescence]

"I guess that's true," Keida chuckled. "It's a nice feeling, being alive... And in love."

[kelik]

He looked at his palm, and smiled. "Wow, this...I feel amazing!"

@piccolo@ "YES YES YES YES! YOU CAN WIN, YOU FEEL GREAT! YOU CAN DO THI...*shot*"

"Thanks, Andorra."

---------------

He looked over. "Oh? You got some advice?"

---------------

@valhawkmon@ "Well, if nothing else, you can do some super special fancy flips and shout out attack names, Brett. Like Spiral Cut!" He laughed.

[BlueLoneWolf]

"...You're seriously in love with Kaz, still?" asked Brick.


"No problem, Kaz. Looks like you've finally got some ability to fight..."
She looked at Xbalamon. "You have anything in particular to teach us?"

---


"Yep...just watch...this is going to be tricky for you to learn, but this is a skill, not an attack, so you humans can probably figure it out.

Olette drew three arrows from his quiver.
"Let me show you...THIS!"

(Technique- Self-Bracketing Fire!: Three shots are fired simulatneously or in rapid succession. If the first two miss due to speed, the last is calculated using only defense.

Olettemon: Stats
HP: 125
Power: 20
Speed: 40
Mental: 50
Defense: 10

(Disc2: Speed)
[dice=40][dice=40][dice=40]

(Defense- Forced)
[dice=40]
(HP=64-3=61)


"Damn, I had to re-roll that fifty billion times in order to get the effect right because Olette kept acing his rolls..."

The first two arrows missed, but the third smacked into the disk because it was forced in the direction of the third.


"...Hrm, like anti-aircraft fire..."

---


"Pretty sure I can do without the yelling out attack names," said Brett with a chuckle.


"Never announce your attacks to an enemy that might know how you fight. Always maintain the edge of deception and surprise."[rand=514957549748942339863997185602784097037156578153376641117956023663]

[Candescence]

Keida looked at Kaz longingly. You could practically see the hearts floating up.


"Techniques, huh?" Xbalamon smirked. "Oooh, I know one!"

She then walked up to a dummy, and made three strikes - all three aimed at the neck and spine, channeling her ki into both strikes, "The 'Nerve Paralyzing Strike'. Works especially well to help shut down an enemy's balance and coordination."

(Nerve Paralysing Strike: 2-3 strikes. If the defender takes damage, their Mental and Power is reduced for three turns. 1 successful hit limits Mental or Power by 1/4, 2 hits limits the stat by 1/2, and 3 hits limits it by 2/3. Cannot be used for three turns.)

[kelik]

"Wow, very impressive..." He looked in awe.

------------

@valhawkmon@ "I'll keep that in mind, Mulan." He nodded. "Guess that explains why Kaz always beats me in video games."

------------

"Whoa, so it stuns em on the spot?"

[BlueLoneWolf]

"Bah, no big thing. It's a nice way to at least try and get one hit on something if you're struggling."


"Huh."

That's when a portal formed again, opening up and revealing Thoth.


"Ah, good to see you, Lex. Hope your train ride was not...so rough," said the great bird digimon, frowning.


"Cousin Thoth, what're you doing back here?"


"I heard that Kaz and Brett were here, and I need to deliver the safeguard programs to them. Lex, I might be able to simply implant you and Andorra with it due to your internal devices."
Thoth then thought. "Say, Lex, could I inspect your weapon?"

---


"Sheesh...you realize he's a human and probably won't ever love you back, right?" asked Brick, scratching the back of his head.


"That's sweet!" said Andorra, "Could we do that using digisoul instead of ki or what?"

---


"Yeah, Bit, gotta learn to be more subtle," chuckled Brett, "A bit more deceptive."


"Two quotes I will tell you from your human author Sun Tzu: 'Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness', and 'All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.' Do this and you will be successful."


Brett stretched his hand, feeling something funny. "Huh."


"Hrm?"


"Err, nothing, I guess. Just...something feels weird."

[Candescence]

"Hey, I can dream, can't I?"


"Hehe, sure! Most types of energy will do the job."

[kelik]

"Hm? Oh, hey, Thoth. And sure..." He held out his pistols.

--------------

@valhawkmon@ "You ok, Brett? You need a break?"

--------------

"Huh, that right?" He looked at Xbala. "That's good to know."

[BlueLoneWolf]

"...No, I'm not like tired or hurt or anything. Let's get back at it, then."


"I suggest you not try that technique on each other. Return to regular sparring."
...I think the boy is about to gain the next level of his talents...

(Health reset)

Brett nodded to Bit.

"You go first."

---


"Thank you," said Thoth, looking over the code for the weapons and their corresponding links to Lex, "Hrm. I have an option for for you, Lex. I think I can convert one of these weapons over to a new one for you, but you will end up losing said weapon. I would not be arming you because you already had it...merely...changing the shape of it."


"You're seriously going to try and rules lawyer Unc?"


"Maybe a tad."

---


"Sweet. I won't try that on Kaz, though, that'd hurt..."


"I guess," said Brick, "But I think I'm too young to understand all this 'love' stuff...Andorra and Brett have their thing going on..."
