needle, cuu☸luu, maverick vs. pumpkinmon

It's not cotton that fills this digimon but sand and stone. Within the Noise Desert, Pumpkinmon lives. He's mastered the sandstorms. But the clouds have come and sands have grown cold. A flame is in his hand, "trick or treeeeeat!" His laughter fills the air as the flames are shoot towards the trio.

'Time to get out of my comfort zone' Skyla couldn't really think straight, she was too busy preparing herself for the task which she was about to perform. Halloween event, she would normally be too shy to be around in crowds but she missed all the other features, doing nothing begun to eat at her bit by bit till she ended up joining one thing. The troublesome part about it was that it was a boss battle in a team. Skyla was never the team person and the fact that she wasn't experienced at battles in this game made it all worse. But she had to go, not because she wanted to but since it was a team challenge, not going there would be troublesome for the other members of the team, and her guilt might just bother her for a long time, even if her being there might of just made a mess of things.

The event for her party was situated in Noise Desert, which of course she's never been to before. The heat was one thing that annoyed Skyla, it was way too hot and the fact that this place was a desert only made things worst. Prism however, felt right a home whistling a tune to himself as they made their way to the designated location. As they walked, they noticed that the area became much more cooler due to the clouds and Prism seemed pretty much disappointed due to this fact. Even the sand that was baking like a oven seemed as cool as a cucumber. "Way better." Skyla slowly muttered under her breath, if it was hot it'd be quite hard to move around, though that might be a advantage if the boss was quite slow.

That is when she saw it, a creature that was around the average size of a person. The thing that made it look rather moree interesting was the fact that it's head resembled a pumpkin, a thing that Skyla tends to carve a lot during this holiday. It was the boss, no doubt about it, however Skyla did expect it to seem. . . more horror-like and perhaps bigger. Maybe this was just a lucky break, or so she thought. Without a tactic in mind, she ordered Prism, "Ram into it." Prism questioned Skyla's judgement, wondering why she's attacking so soon. After all it'd be easier if thy waited for the other teammates. But he nodded, as she begun to dash right towards the creature. His movement was slowed by the surface of the sand, swallowing each step.

"TRICK OR TREAT!" The words were screeched out loud by Pumpkinmon as a smile appeared on it's face. Right when Prism was about to deliver his attack, the Pumpkinmon threw a jolt of fire. Prism didn't have any time to dodge the sudden attack, being impacted directly on the face and thrown a few meters away. "Prism!" Skyla shouted, as she ran right to her injured digimon. The attack dealt a number on him, it was obvious that this boss was strong. Perhaps too strong. "Sorry. . ." She said, helping Prism pick himself up. "My My, this is going to be quite the battle lassie." Prism said while closely observing his foe. It looked like they would need to think of a tactic before rushing into things again.

Coming to the Noise Desert for the second or third time was fun, this place always had such nice weather. They weren't here to enjoy the scenery though, as the events were coming to a big end now. The finale was here with the big boss battles, and Maverick was sent to the Noise Desert to deal with his opponent.

This was apparently to be a team battle as well, so it wasn't as bad as say, someone going one on one with a boss. That would be a bit extreme for anyone really, so this gave them a better chance. Arriving at the location, it seemed that the desert was a little cooler than normal, not a bad thing. It meant they wouldn't tire themselves out as quickly.

The trick or treat had been thrown, both Maverick and Pyre moving out of its path. The Magnamon moving a lot easier around than he could as the Agumon, which would help here. There weren't a whole lot of options from what he could see though, so he resorted to moving in towards the perfect and throwing out a punch at its head.

Maverick moved around towards the other human and their digimon, "Are you two alright?" He figure it was better to keep everyone in the fight, and if need be, he had a little surprise for the pumpkinmon. Though, that would be more for a last resort than anything else, they just needed to come up with a plan right now. Did it have a weakness? If it did, just what was it?

It was, after all, only an AI, and the game AI she'd encountered so far had been rather disappointing. Learn their stances for attacks and react accordingly. It was why she fought humans, they were so much more variable. Her temporary team certainly had variety. The initial attack was narrowly avoided, Gizamon's body was more agile in water than land and she had tossed herself to the side. She frowned as she considered this, checking both of her teammates' health as she rose from the sand. "Damn, maybe I should've bought Water Cure instead of Spiral Edge." Oh well, she could put that on her to-buy list.. She whistled to Gizamon and pointed towards Pumpkinmon and then slowly lowered her hand. The frog looked at her with a puzzled look, confused by her action. Needle had thought about counter attacking, but the Boss didn't seem like he had to recover after that attack. It'd be best to wait and learn his attack pattern first, she thought. She could always use the other two as bait. "I hope you both brought health discs." The pvper yelled and moved farther away from the group, jogging with Gizamon to circle to the to her side. If they weren't grouped up it'd be harder for the boss to hit 'em all at once, not that she thought to mention this outloud. Harder too for aid to come from another player.

The pumpkinmon let out a high pitched giggle as his flames hit the clearagumon, sending it flying. "Can't get me, can't get me!" He teased. The Magnamon's attack actually managed to hit, but the pumpkin was stuck firmly onto the body, and while it hurt, it did little else. "Treat!" It yelled, flinging more flames at the armor digimon.

". . ." With this silence, Skyla quickly escaped the area from where the man approached while clutching . It wasn't nothing special, she just couldn't stand men at all and to top it off she was a shy person. Prism didn't count though, he was a computer monster, completely different. Prism seemed to get in tune with her timid nature anyway, so he didn't really care about her fears and whatnot. "So what is the plan now, sweetie tamer." As much as she could think, she couldn't really think of anything to solve this. The duo didn't have any sort of special skills nor a digivolved form. The only thing that she could do was to support the others in their assault, as fortunately they did have a member who had a quite strong looking digimon.

She bit at her lip, feeling a little bit of pain but it was for the sake of getting her to think properly. First thing was first, she needed to take care of Prism, make sure that he doesn't die on her. He was the only thing that she could trust round here. Getting out an HP DISK from her storage, and using it on prism. A spiral of orange cubes danced around the area as his health went up a bit, at least to the point where he had barely any damage. "Okay?" she asked with a frown, staring at her building block-like digimon and he responded with a nod, though the pain still lingered a bit. Now with her partner healed, she observed what was going on currently to see if there was anyway that she could help.

It seemed that the boss, which she was able to detemine was called Pumpkinmon with her info screen, was in a brawl with that man's digimon and another person, probably the last teammate. She took this time that they were fighting to analyse how the boss fought and to see if she could com up with a plan. '. . . Hold. . . On.' those were the words she thought, hoping it would at least help them a little bit despite being a thought.

[maverick]

Before he could do anything the girl had grabbed her digimon and taken off running away. Had it been something he said? He was only trying to help, so he couldn't quite get why she took off. A slight sigh at that, well he had other things to worry about as Pyre was fighting up close with the perfect level digimon. He needed to try to find a weak spot to exploit. What could it be though?

Pyre would need to hold out a bit longer for him to try coming up with a battle strategy. He trusted in his Digimon's ability, so he was going to do his best to not let him down. The Magnamon on the other hand, was on the receiving end of a powerful flame. Sliding back and dropping to a knee, he rubbed at the burn mark on his armor, looking around him to try and find something to use. He'd hate to try it, but maybe it would offer them some kind of reprieve from the monster as well.

Grasping a handful of sand as he stood up, he rushed once more, and feinting a punch. His real plan to throw sand into the eyes of their perfect level opponent, and maybe try to blind it. There was no guarantee it would work, but it was worth a shot at least. They needed to find out his weakness and fast, before they were all taken down.

That was fine with her though. She cast a quick glance towards cuu☸luu, a slight frown appearing as she thought. Three on one meant odds were in their favor, but she'd seen boss raids were a single person had screwed it up for everyone before. While the male tamer and his champion Digimon seemed to be holding their own it didn't seem like this 'cuu☸luu' person had much experience. In any case, the Magnamon had started its counter attack, it was time to go. "Gizamon! Aim for the seams, SPIRAL EDGE." The frog crouched low and then flung himself through the air at the seam along Pumpkinmon's side. Gizamon tucked his legs in closes as he tumbled, impossibly picking up speed and as he rotated faster and faster as the spikes on his back tried to tear into the Ultimate. All he could do at this moment was trust that his tamer knew what she was up to, and that the distraction of the Champion would prove to be enough. Needle turned her attention to the other female again, sending a quick whisper her way. The sight of groups disrupted, sometimes purposely, flashed through her mind and she decided to move to stop that from happening. 'Ey, you can't just stand there and look pretty. Attack as a group, and keep passin' the boss's attention around.

The pumpkinmon let out another cackle as it's flames scorched the armor digimon, doing a little jig of it's own. "There's the trick, now where's the treat?" It called. The rapidly approaching Magnamon didn't phase it at all - he was ready for another punch.

It wasn't a punch he got, however, but a bunch of sand in his eyes. He let out a splutter, trying to rub it away, only to find himself suddenly cut - a slash on the seams of his side from the Gazimon. "No no! You can't do that, it's not fair!" The digimon howled, grabbing at the cut seam to stop sand from leaking out any more as he lobbed a bunch of fireballs at the Magnamon and Gazimon.

[mai]

"Got it." Pretty much ignoring the whisper that was sent to her, she obviously knew what she was doing and she wasn't in the mood to deal with criticism. She also pretty much figured out the weakness of the digimon. It seemed that the seams that held it together was the weak spot, shown earlier from Gizamon's attack. And to make it all better, it seemed that the Pumpkinmon seemed to forget all about prism. Counting the fact that his health is almost full now due to the HP DISK usage, it would be the perfect time for him to sneak into the fight and deliver a nasty blow without the digimon noticing.

She stared at prism, whispering to him with a bit of a worried stare. "Hit it in the seams. . . can you do it?" If prism couldn't be able to perform the attack, she couldn't force him to. Since they didn't have and skills, they would have to settle for a basic attack, it would just have to do. The problem would be Prism's frame. He didn't have claws like the Gizamon so trying to rip an object would rather hard. Still the plan would have to go on even if it was slightly impossible. "Yeah, i'll manage. Blunt claws like might might be bad of the job, but it could work." With those words, Skyla nodded, whispering something, "Don't. . . Die."

Prism, took the offensive, running around till he was directly behind the Pumpkin. As the boss seemed busy chucking fireballs at the other, paying little attention to him, he took this chance to quickly yet stealthy approach the digimon. The cool soft sand didn't help much with the grains making noises, making a bit harder to be unnoticed. Wielding his un-sharpened claws in a aggressive manner, once close enough, he took a swing while attempting to grab on of the threads and pull it out. Since he couldn't rip stuff he still could grip on to things better than a Gizamon could.

The Pumpkinmon seemed to really not like that his seems were cut up by the Gizamon. Well, things were going to get a lot more unpleasant for the little thing. Maverick and Pyre both understood their role for this little battle, as they exchange glances and nodded. The Magnamon pushing through the fire aimed at him, in an attempt to keep his role fulfilled. He attempted to grab at the axe on top of the perfect level digimon's head, and yank it out.

Hopefully, it would cause some surge of pain to cause the thing to focus its attacks more on him. Maverick was bringing up his menu, holding it over the items, in case there was a need for him to use any. Pyre looked at the Pumpkinmon, "What's the matter, not having as much fun? I wonder what would happen if I pulled on a lose thread." He taunted the thing, if the focus could be solely on him, he could last long enough to let the others take him apart.

Granted, that was if things worked out the right way, he would have to adjust his strategy as the flow of battle went on.

Her guess had paid off, and it seemed the others were naturally falling into their roles. A patchwork boss, it was almost too cliche. Especially since needles were used to pull stitches as well as make them. Gizamon was too close to dodge the Ultimate's counter attack, but this wasn't a cause for alarm to Needle earlier. She'd seen the girl's plastic pet take the hit and rise again, so she was ready to drop an HP Disk on her partner. With a flick of her fingers the item was called into service, and the collapsed Gizamon was surrounded by orange cubes that deconstructed to form streams of data that surged into the amphibian. Soon he was getting to his feet and shaking off the sand that was everywhere. The overwhelming pain had weakened to a dull, all consuming ache but he could go on. There was a fight to be had and the Rookie found himself looking forwards to tearing into his opponent. It was, like Needle said, what he was made for. "Y'know the drill! Spiral Edge!" The orange and yellow monster answered the intensity in his Tamer's voice with a wordless cry of his own. His body crouched low to the sand and then lunged upwards with explosive movement, all four legs pushing off against the ground. His body started tumbling and once more he was flung towards the Pumpkinmon at high speeds like a blurred saw-blade.

The pumpkinmon's flames found their targets - with the gizamon rapidly being healed by the item, the Magnamon was left as is - being burned badly by the flames. When the Magnamon latched onto the ax, it did next to nothing - the ax was wedged in quite firmly, and the Pumpkinmon raised his arms. "Trick or treat!" With a pop, a massive pumpkin appeared overhead - being brought rapidly down towards the Magnamon as the Gizamon and Clearagumon cut at the Pumpkinmon's stitching, causing even more sand to pour out.

Mental fistpump occurred in Prism's mind, as the sneak assault was a success. It also seemed that the Gizamon managed to do the same as well. "We continue this and it should be over quicker than a horse race." with those words shouted out to the others, he begun to back away from the boss, attempting to get enough distance to be safe. The reason for this was shown clearly in the sky, it was a massive pumpkin, heading down as if it were a meteor. Fortunately for Prism, it wasn't aimed at him, boy if it was he'd need to have another crack at a HP DISK. But he couldn't help but feel in awe of how strong the Magnamon was, being able to stand against a digimon of that caliber with those wounds. 'Sigh, I wish I could digivolve bout now.'

The stitches being a weak point of a boss, it seemed rather too easy for a digimon at ultimate form. So what is the trick. Skyla thought carefully, attempting to try and grasp if there would be anything else after beat this thing with their current tactic. Perhaps there was something inside the boss controlling it? But there only seems to be sand pouring out of the digimon. Maybe she was thinking too much about this. It was just common that games would have more than one trick, for all we know this could be a trap waiting to be sprung. But all that they could do was to wait and see what would happen, hesitating would only prolong the battle.

What she was more focused on was waiting to see when she could support Prism. Not being able to fight herself, she could only wait on the sidelines till something could be done. Obvious she wasn't fond of doing this. 'Should we continue the attack, the boss still seems to be occupied with the strong digimon. But what if Prism gets hurt again. I don't have a unlimited supply of HP DISKS.' Gnawing at her finger, she was quite irritated at the numbers of risks in this battle. Perhaps it would of been better to wait before joining an event. . . but Halloween is once a year. Sending a whisper to Prism, she said "Are you able to try it again, it seems he still is busy with the others." She didn't need a answer though, of course he was ready, he was a program that took orders from her, it'd be very unlikely he'd refuse.

Still ready for another assault, he rushed in this time instead of sneaking to launch an attack towards the side, hoping to cause a few more holes. The reasoning for not sneaking is that the attack wouldn't be a surprise anymore, there is simply no more point. Moving in with his claws ready, he attempted to launch out a attack after shouting out the words. "Turkey, prepare to lose yer' stuffing."

[maverick]

The massive pumpkin hit him square on with no time to dodge thanks to him having tried to pull the axe out. The attacks were starting to have an effect on him, but he couldn't let up now. The best one here suited for taking those attacks was Pyre, and it was not gonna be something he gave up on.

Maverick was by his side as well, the man already drawing into his items for the next trick of the day. The item was an hp disk for his partner, as it digitized in his hand and he activated it, throwing it at the Magnamon. The little item, dissipating and transferring the restorative data to the digimon itself. Pyre flexed his muscles feeling back to full power, as he smirked at the opponent.

Cracking his knuckles, he decided that if the axe wouldn't come out, maybe it could go further in. Clasping his together, he slammed them down in a powerful, hammering blow onto the axe. Hoping to push it further into the skull of the Pumpkinmon, and split its head apart. It was a bit of a brutal tactic, but they needed to take this thing down now.
