Elle and Mistymon sprinted down the road, dodging people who were running away from the duo's objective, and tried to think about what was happening, she might be entirely used to things exploding but it wasn't really normal in the real world. Terrorists? Digimon? What could it possibly be? With a glance upwards, Elle noticed the smoke and a hole in the side of the building, way up in the air, causing her to stop for a moment and catch her breath. She shared a look with Mistymon as she breathed heavily.
"Well?" She asked, causing her partner to squint as he looked up at the building.
"I have several ideas, none of them good."
"They never are. We could Biomerge and take the short route or we take the elevator." Elle suggested while Mistymon thought about each choice things were getting worse, whatever it was, it was serious. Elle now saw light from the building, not a regular light either. Finally Mistymon shook his head.
"No, we don't know what this is, I look fairly inconspicuous like this, bar the sword. I say we take the stairs, that's the safest bet." Elle nodded, it made sense, the elevator could break down or be damaged and they didn't want to jump into a warzone from an open blast point.
"Okay, lets go then, but be ready to biomerge if shit goes downhill." Elle said as she started off
"I'll have to de-digivolve for that but we'll work it out I'm sure" Mistymon replied, grinning as he ran after her.
They entered the building quickly and felt several more explosions as they sprinted up the stairs as quickly as they could. She several floors up before she was out of breath, and ten more before she had to slow down. after that she took it slower yet still at a fairly quick pace. Near the top, Elle was very weary, her legs shaking, she was unsure if she could biomerge in this state. Maybe it would have been better to fly up after all? They had almost reached the top of the stairwell just as the lights went out.
"The fuck was that?" Mistymon asked no one in particular
"Let's... Let's go find out." Elle replied, out of breath and reaching for the door that she knew was right in front of her instead of trying to climb the last couple of stairs. She pulled out her phone, noticing the message as she used the light to guide her hand to the doorknob.
"Here we go" She took few seconds to catch her breath and pushed open the door as fast as she could, to find an empty room, also dark but it was lucky it was still daytime. "Next floor then" She grumbled but leaned against the wall for a couple of moments before the pair heard someone shout from down the corridor. they didn't hear the words, only the sense of urgency. She stood up and moved along the corridor, looking around and seeing Zei and Leon, the latter looking really good in a suit. But why were they there? "Leon? Zei? What... what the fuck is.. going on here?" she asked, entirely confused and slightly out of breath, though her partner was faring much better.
