Takai's cackle came to lull. He stared at Aero and its partner.
Another human besides Mameo and the proctors. Besides the tormenting, Lilac? and surely she had already poisoned her mind with his failures. Just the visage of this faceless girl stirred him further,
"More moths for the fire," For some reason he struggled to continue, catching the shivers with his taunt muscles. But soon his face contorted to a furious smile.
Kibo spewed out a line of fire to meet, Aero's green bolt. The two attacks melded before blasting them away.
"Good! I'll need a blazing fire to burn all this down," he shouted, even as he clung to Kibo's armored neck in mid-air.
The two touched down on the ground softly.
"I'll give you more, Kibo. All of my energy," he muttered, clutching the Digivice between his hands, trying to crush it with this new power.
Lilac and Yaa stood their ground against the shockwave. Her first instinct was to tear them all a new one. She had explicitly told them to stay within the Clocktower but now that the odds were visible, she was rather proud. The team had never been the image for her, each student had, until now. Watching them all stand together, ready to meet, Takai and Kibo in combat was invigorating.
To Annie, Lilac clenched her fist at her sides.
"He's just throwing a tantrum right now. Putting him in time-out is our only option.""We should go to champion, Lilac." "Not happening, Yaa. We don't need champion to handle a rookie." The dark aura around the device sputtered before raging into massive blaze. That aura seared away the incoming attacks of the others, waning and bolstering upon contact of their attacks. From the howl to the stream of golden lightning. In the end it only made the dark aura surge which in turn agonized Takai's body.
Lilac regretted her earlier words, maybe Yaa did need to digivolve again. She never seen a phenomenon like that before.
Mameo smoothened out his frown just for a moment.
"Disqualifying you? yea right. I'd say this over-qualifies you, Dante. Your class is exactly what Project F. is all about. Fighting, regardless of your obstacles." Then a powerful shockwave sped from, Takai. Mameo noticed the rising dark aura and ran to group-up with Lilac and Yaa.
"That isn't good, we need to put a stop to it."Still, he dealt with the pain and willed the aura into his Digivice, forcing it deeper and deeper into the apparatus' circuits. Until finally the white sheen on it had begun to darken aswell.
"What a host! What a perfect host!"A fleeting glint sparkled in the distance, an egg of orange and blue hitting the sun at the most perfect of angles. As if sentient it flew around the raging aura bellowing in the air, only to interrupt and quell it with a miracle of its own. As it floated in front of Chaska, a light began to emanate from it, nearly suffocating the dark aura of it massive power. It took half-a-minute for the aura to sizzle out, for the egg to drop infront of the new arrival. Its destiny now rested in
@Tsukoreyu's hands.
Kibo had consumed enough of the energy to feel several times stronger than before. He smashed his claw against the ground before rushing headlong to meet the other Digimon. A leap into the air sent his cape whipping about as he spewed his petite flame in a long wave towards the group, including the new arrival. This wildfire was strong, strong enough to singe the earth and create a physical disparity in the air.
Takai was taken back for a moment. He had held so much energy before that luminous light, now he simply felt drained, if not tremendously ashamed for some reason.
"W-What ... What am I doing?" he asked himself. Then as if thrown backwards a year, he felt all the hurt, disappointment, and betrayal anew. His neck and head tensed, convulsed even.
"Right," uttered the mad echo.
"I'm killing everyone!" Takai grabbed his head, there was an itch and horrible pain there.
"Ah! Ahhhhh! Arghhhhhhhh!" he screamed, dropping to a knee. Kibo guarded him, growls falling from his serrated maw, even as tears welled in its eyes.
Mameo and Lilac and Yaa rushed to the forefront, braving the powerful attack somehow, the flames rushing along some invisible wall that spanned the students and their partners. As Mameo strained with effort, sweat beginning to bead, he looked over to his students and smiled.
"Go get him while he's blinded, I'm sure he's losing this battle. Fighters! go help him out!" he demanded.
