@Fish of Oblivion So, I don't think anyone technically knows the name "Rodendramon" yet?
EDIT: Particularly not Beelzemon.

Donezo.

Thank.

Buckle up lads, it's real Fighting Game Quote Hours:

Orci Delta vs UlforceVeedramon. Fight!

Intro: "... Do you ever shut up?"

Victory: "Traitor or loyalist, all you Knight bastards do is spout off soundbites. Here's a nice one for you: 'Kill them all, and let God sort them out'."

Defeat: "Shut up and get on with it."

AvengeKidmon vs Beelzemon. Fight!

Intro: "Well, if it ain't the old blank-firer himself! The old lady had you pegged as her next mark, but I'll oblige: I've been itchin' to pump you full of lead for years!"

Victory: "Roll back the welcome wagon and bring out the hearse, fellas, we're sending this bastard to Hell in style!"

Defeat: "YOWWWWWWWWW! MY BISCUITS ARE BURNIN'!"

Pierroumon vs Ophanimon. Fight!

Intro: "My my, still touchy about the fall? I'd have thought you'd have learned by now, if you hold a grudge for everyone who sticks some kind of knife in your back, you'll end up choking on them long before you stumble into the grave!"

Victory: "Let's turn this stumble into a forward march! Mask's Square- La Commedia é Finita!"

Defeat: "It's more of a spear through the sternum than a knife in the back, but I see your point regardless."

@Psyker Landshark To reiterate, he was operating as War Capidramon for the majority of the time that you would know a Biomerged Mega, and no one's been introduced to Rodendramon yet. Seen him, sure, but no one like, directly interacted yet. The Rookie form is Shrewmon.
Edit: Not doubting it happened, but I don't particularly remember what is being referred to by

Hell, he could remember striking him out like a baseball at one point; he’d probably not be too happy about that, if nothing else.

I'm going to level with you, my man. Canon's set a precedent for Digivices being able to identify Digimon, and there are only so many ways we can dance around calling Rodendramon by name before it gets super awkward.

We're almost done with Convergence and at this point being cagey is only really serving to drag things out. If you're going somewhere with this, cool, all power to you, but is there a more narratively efficient way to do this?

EDIT: The baseball thing is from something Parasimon did during a fight back in the original IC, thought it'd be funny to bring it back up.

Not gonna lie, I forgot Digivices did that.

Me:

Appreciated.

I'm also gonna cut right to the point and say it, I now can't unhear Rodendramon as Microsoft Sam.

Not an inaccurate assessment. He'll have a real voice later. But for now, yeah. Except he can say "soy" without having a stroke.

So. That was a hiatus and a half.

Anyone watched the first episode of Adventure 2020?

@Fish of Oblivion Indeed. I didn't know that was a thing.

I mean, they kind of sneakily announced it at the end of January and by then Kizuna's advertising was in full swing. Probably not hard to miss.

It's pretty alright though. At the very least, even if it ends up being as disappointing as Tri turned out, we still got Algomon's full line out of it.

@tobiax Alright buddy, you're up again? We're only a few posts away from everyone being back together and being able to start the final fight, so if you wanna get on that soon-ish and have Rodendramon move towards the others we can hopefully keep the momentum going?

I'll work on something, yeah.

Good man. Doesn't have to be excessively long if you don't want it to be, just something to keep the momentum going and get Rodendramon moving along?

@Fish of Oblivion Right. I was more focused on getting everyone to one rallying point, without having anyone (more) isolated (than they already are).
Edit: I may have had it done sooner, but I had some technical difficulties.

Looks fine to me, for the time it took to post it's pretty solid work.

I'm cajoling the others into posting at the moment, btw, so just a heads-up that you should be getting a response as well as hopefully a kick-start for the second phase of the fight within the week?

@Fish of Oblivion Thanks.
A'right. Looking forward to it.

And to tide us over, here's a really overdue set of fightan quotes for @Vocalia?

Parasimon vs Dorugoramon. Fight!

Intro: "So, you're not Alphamon. That much even I could figure out. But she has resolve and a purpose, while all I smell on you is impotent rage. Come, prove me wrong. Carve your soul into me, tooth and claw!"

Victory: "One shadow to another, I understand. The anger at what you can't control, the desperation to prove yourself- they can destroy you from within. But if you can't find yourself in those, then you'll live as a shadow- and die as one."

Defeat: "Hah, so there was something lurking under the surface after all. Looks like I was the one who was impotent, in the end..."
