Partyin', Partyin' YEAH

[guilmon]

Who: Everyone and anyone who wants to attend.
What: Training Party!
When: December 13th
Where: Public Training area... or what's left of it post-repairs. Characters do not have to know Takato and Guilmon to attend; they will have placed posters throughout the city over the past few weeks.

[It'd been several weeks in the making. Several weeks spent baking oodles of bread, getting in touch with other Chosen and Digimon, and of course helping with the repair efforts throughout this week. With dangers such as Titamon on the horizon, it seemed only right to set up a gathering for Chosen new and old to band together and practice their fighting skills.

In addition to the network announcements, Takato and Guilmon made sure to spread posters informing the populace of the event. Those who arrive on-site will find a table decked out with a wide variety of breads, with room for other snacks for those who wish to pitch in.

Arrivals will of course be greeted by an enthusiastic Guilmon and his Tamer, and while the primary focus is training, there's plenty of time to mingle, ask questions, and chow down!]

Optional Sub-Threads:

Questions and Planning | Vs. Growlmon | Vs. WarGrowlmon

[ooc: This is an open log. Characters do not have to train with Guilmon and Takato-- they're welcome to face each other as well as mingle, eat food, share stories, and party hard. I have a few optional sub-threads linked, but these are not a requirement by any means.]

After Juri's training match with Growlmon

[lovespinkbirdies]

Juri-chan! That match with you and Leomon was pretty awesome!

[ Congrats Juri, you have Chika running right over to you with an excited look on her face. Though her focus on the match doesn't really last that much longer as she gives a giggle and then moves in for a hug. ]

So how've you been? It's been a while since we had time to talk.

[lionhearted_destiny]

[The training's perked Juri up, especially with Leomon finally being back to his normal form.]

Thank you!

[She hugs the other girl back, Leomon looking over. She pulls back.] I'm...alright, Chika-chan. Well, I'm better! [She giggles a little.] And how about you?

[lovespinkbirdies]

Well... umm... now that the SCOPE virus thing is done with, I'm feeling a lot better too.

[ She pauses, then blushes a bit. ]

Umm... I'm sorry for how I acted during that whole thing. And that I worried you.

[lionhearted_destiny]

[Oh... Juri keeps her smile on and shakes her head.]

It's okay. I'm just glad you're feeling better. I'm glad everyone's feeling better.

[lovespinkbirdies]

Yeah! Me too! Everything being better now is great!

[ But everything was better, right? There wasn't anything bad that was happening or going to happen? ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

[That's not tempting fate at all nope.]

Chika-chan, let's train.

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Clearly not! ]

Okay! I'm sure it's going to be fun for both of our partners, right?

[ And honestly, Biyomon could probably use more experience as Aquilamon. The were usually forced to bring him to Garudamon way too quickly all the time. ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

Of course! [Juri turns to Leomon to confirm. He nods.]

I've still got plenty of energy left for another sparring match.

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Chika giggles again, and Biyomon notices what's happening and quickly moves to join both of them. ]

Well, I'm ready with the rest of you are!

[ Chika smiles, grabbing her digivice and concentrating, her digisoul flaring to life around her hand. And just her hand. No reason to go to Ultimate again Leomon. Not right now.

Her small hand is slamming down on the device without much hesitation at all.]

Digisoul Charge!

[ And then it goes, with Biyomon quickly evolving into Aquilamon, staring down at Leomon and Juri as he waited for the match to start. ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

[Before the battle starts, Juri smiles, confident.] Do you want me to use cards, or not? It's only fair if I don't.

[lovespinkbirdies]

Why don't we not use the cards for now? I mean, that can make Leomon a lot stronger than normal, can't it?

[ Which means that she might've actually been fine with having Biyomon become Garudamon. ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

[Juri looks to Leomon and he nods, so she nods back at him, and then at Chika.]

Got it.

Are you ready, Aquilamon?

[lovespinkbirdies]

Of course I am!

[ Aquilamon's pretty confident that he'll be able to hold his own against Leomon without too much difficulty.

Speaking of, he's going to start charging at Leomon now, but not taking off into the air. After all, it would be hard for Leomon to train if he flew out of his reach and blasted from above... though he wouldn't be completely helpless, so that was something to think of for later. ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

[Leomon readies his stance, standing steady and choosing to try and take the bull - or rather, bird - by the horns and push back on the charging Digimon.]

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Well, that was a bit unexpected. But at the same time, it was the perfect chance to try to actually test his strength up against someone.

Aquilamon pushes back against Leomon, twisting his head to try to get more leverage to knock the other champion down into the ground. ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

[Leomon grapples, digging in with his claws. The twist starts to tangle up his arms, but he is persistent.

He jerks his head forward, a headbutt.]

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Aquilamon lets out a gasp of shock as Leomon's head slams into his skull like that. Of course, he couldn't really do all that much to break free from Leomon's grip as he was.

Well, except for the part where he opened his mouth anyway. ]

Blast Rings!

[ Hope you're quick to jump out of the way, Leomon. ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

[The attack pushes Leomon back, back, back, and he struggles to stay on his feet, in the end, he has to drop to all fours, to dig in his front claws and keep himself from completely losing composure.

He fights back similarly, holding up one hand.]

Shockwave!

[A blast of energy rips from his hand toward Aquilamon.

[lovespinkbirdies]

Gah!

[ Aquilamon staggers back when that force of energy hits him, not dropping back or anything like that, but it wasn't like he had a chance at all at escaping the blast either.

He does manage to stabilize himself without too much trouble, and he lets out a bit of a chuckle before leaping into the sky, intending on landing behind Leomon so that he can spin around and attack from behind. ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

[He's in the sky. Perfect.]

Fist of the Beast King!

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ If he had been Garudamon instead of Aquilamon right now, that attack wouldn't have been anything to worry about. Even discounting his greater strength, he would've been able to land without being hit by it.

But as he was Aquilamon right now, well... the attack hit him, and he found himself dropping to the ground instead of landing on his feet, struggling to get up from the force of the attack. ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

[Not waiting another moment, Leomon advances, with his sword drawn, and stands at the ready...to attack, or to stand down, if Aquilamon is done.

This is not a battle to the death, after all. It's a spar, between equals.]

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Aquilamon wasn't done yet, turning around quickly and opening up his mouth again, a huge gust of wind blasting out from it as he looked over at Leomon.

But even then, Aquilamon didn't waste that much time, charging forward towards the other digimon again while he was hopefully knocked off guard by the force of the wind from his mouth.

Chika watched all of this with a frown on her face, noticing that Aquilamon wasn't doing so well. Sure, Garudamon was a lot stronger, but Leomon was at the same level that he was. It didn't make sense for him to be having this much trouble... ]

[lionhearted_destiny]

[As the wind erupts, Leomon slices his sword down, trying not to cut through it, but to lessen the blow. It means he can stay righted, and that's all he needs. He drops his sword, and as Aquilamon charges, he draws back his fist.]

Fist of the Beast King!

[lovespinkbirdies]

[ Aquilamon didn't have much of a chance to dodge that attack, not with it coming at him while he was charging towards Leomon. His eyes narrow, and his mouth opens. ]

Blast Laser!

[ Rings shoot out of his mouth towards the attack, intending to hit it head on and make it easier for him to actually get to Leomon. ]
