Suddenly Renamon felt someone touching her shoulder making the fox falling on her knees slowly getting sleepy "I.. the.." barely said as she fell asleep and her fur turned to yellow again.

(Mornin', folks. Here's your grub for today. Enjoy. Also, a question thread in OOC board that I would like you guys to answer.)
Kawaguchi District, Tokyo, Japan
Time: 4:25 PM

"Well, there he goes..." Yuuka muttered as the ice block flew off to the street, carrying the average-looking man with it. "I wonder what was up with that."
"Take it easy? Everything's fine now..." The blue-haired girl that was fighting the average-looking man was crouching next to Renamon, who was clearly suffering. But was it Renamon? Her skin color looked different...
"Everything alright?" Yuuka asked as Renamon turned back to her yellow vixen self and fell asleep. Yuuka needed a moment to grasp the situation.

Mima and John is at the shop, discussing about the magic-imbued items.
The average-looking man is sliding down the street.
Renamon is asleep, possibly unconscious.
The blue-haired girl must be the one who caused Renamon to grow weak and fall asleep.

"Phantastic Spring Flower" Yuuka uttered, and a spell card lit up from her hand. Good, at least the spell cards work fine. Sprouts of flower danmakus flew towards the blue-haired girl, poised to strike.

There were visions of peacefulness, the many creatures were on their normal days, some building houses, others hunting for food, it was like going back to a better place.

Then she was again in the battle against the Devas, the monstrous beings she and both her human and digital allies had to fight to save the Digital World, but this time it was only her evading the mass of attacks, fighting the hordes, fighting to survive.

Again the scenery changed and she was in the final battle against the D-reaper, his energy was terrifying the vixen who was now in her final form too shielding herself from the dark being. The bloodshed she had to endure was among some of the most horrible things the fox has ever faced.

Finally she was in the same village, it was on fire again and the many humans were assaulting everywhere, Renamon didn´t hesitate and used all her might to stop it, knowing she would lose. At the end, the vixen´s fur was stained in red and it was getting darker, the humans this time were massacred by the demon.

She stood there, the fire was almost covering the whole village. the fox was ready to leave it when a hand grasped her shoulder, she looked down and saw the wisemon elder, he had slashes around his coat. Renamon then realized she was the one who caused thos injuries. the elder said calming her ("This isn´t who you are, you are better than that thing that wants to get out. you control your own life"). With those words, the wisemon then changed the scenery.

Both of them were now on top of a really tall building ("This new world has both good and bad things, you my young apprentice have experienced it vividly, you just got to let go of the past"). Renamon listened but then argued ("I can´t just leave like that, the village was destroyed with everyone in it!"). The wisemon stood there without changing his mood. ("Young fox, time heals everything, we may have disappeared in the real world but we are here in your dreams, you just have to let go and let that guilt fall from your shoulders, it was never your fault"). Renamon was about to ask something, when suddenly the building shook. ("Guess that you are needed over there, good luck my apprentice, I shall wait for our next meeting")

Renamon shifted from her dreams into reality when she felt the earth shake unnaturally, she opened her eyes and saw the blue-haired girl checking on the vixen and also behind her was the florist sending sprouts of what looked poisonous flowers. The fox pushed the blue-haired girl and tried to stop the flowers with a diamond storm.

After finally collecting his thoughts, He asked Mima about the enchanting process.

"So, do I need to remove my armor for the enchanting, or am I able to keep it on."

"No, you can keep it on." Mima simply replied.

[NeoFox]

As X sees a fox looking thing, and a blue haired girl in the distance his eyes widened. "What is that?" Asked X as he keeps running. X stops a few yards away from the others as he sees a what appears to be some sort of energy flowers or something heading towards the fox, and the blue haired girl. X holds his right arm and transforms it into the X-Buster in case of the worst. "There is no reason to keep fighting so stop it right now!" Yelled X as he takes a few steps closer to the group. He sees the fox attack with what looked like a flurry of diamond shards. "Whoa..." He says as he takes one step back. Not anyone or anything to fight in public where other humans can get hurt, but he is afraid to intervene.

"No, you can keep it on." Mima simply replied.

John lowered his shields and awaited for Mima to bombard him with various enchantments.

"Okay. Ready."

"I.. the..". As the spell put the vixen asleep Aqua put her in a lying position on the ground.
("I hope it's nothing to serious "). She was still tiered but not as tiered as she was a moment ago.
She sat down beside the vixen and continued eating. She could see the Vixen moving as she slept.

After some time the Vixen woke up again. "Feeling better?"
The Vixen didn't answer but just pushed her away just in time to save her from an attack she hadn't noticed.
"Thanks"

Mima took the many crystals and charms, absorbing their energies into her crescent staff. "This may tingle a bit." Mima then shot a beam at the armor, it starting to almost glow with power.

"This may tingle a bit."

A beam of light cascaded across the armor. John's on board HUD started to buzz and flicker as it was being tampered with. Then, as soon as Mima finished the enchanting process, the armor shut off.
John could now feel all 1,000 pounds of the metal armor on his shoulders.

"Umm..it shut off.."

All of a sudden, both John and Mima heard the suit hum and reactivate all of it's systems.

"Well, never mind."

The HUD reactivated,running diagnostics of all of the suit's systems.
His shield gauge charged up and formed a second gauge. The extra magic left over overcharged them.

[Remilia Scarlet]

Melun Centre - France

A grimace slowly appeared on Remilia's face as she heard a loud, steady swooshing sound approach from behind her. quickly looking up, she noticed a hovering metal cage that was chasing after her. This thing had to be a helicopter. Though Remilia hadn't seen one up until now, she had gathered enough information in her journey north to learn of the major contraptions that the humans used. At least, she hoped it was a human using the flying cage. However, her hopes didn't last long as she saw danmaku of energy start coming out of the nose of the cage. The energy pellets were not unlike the large energy bomb she had taken earlier before falling into the Seine river. She knew that this helicopter had something to do with another Character.

As the hail of danmaku closed distance on her, Remilia kicked her feet down onto the ground, breaking the road but causing her to brake abruptly. The hail of bullets continued firing, but past her and she watched the helicopter fly past her as well. Remilia knew that she was much too weak at this point to face the threat with a head-on attack. She had to get creative.

Knowing her location and the amount of humans that were there, Remilia wondered if she could perhaps fuse some of her magic with one of the humans' danmaku shooters to her advantage. She didn't have much time, though. The helicopter had already turned around and was closing in fast for another strafing run. Throwing up a quick shield of red mist in front of her, Remilia kicked down on the ground to break a hole through the road. As soon as she kicked the floor, she looked up to see another hail of danmaku rain from the helicopter, but hit her shield instead. Knowing it wouldn't last much longer, Remilia hopped down into the hole she had created, back into the sewers.

Remilia knew that from being outside and using her hypersensitive ears, there was a lot of human activity somewhere northwest of her. She hoped that a command outpost or something similar was in the area. Quickly navigating the maze of sewerage systems, Remilia came across another set of iron ladders. She quickly climbed up them to find that the top was sealed off with some iron circle. Remilia punched it off, sending the circle hundreds of feet into the air.


*** "The hell are the humans thinking, putting that there..." Remilia grumbled.


Climbing out of the hole, she saw that she was now in a residential area of sorts. There were mutliple single-story houses to either side of her. They were mostly covered pastel creme or some other light color with red shingles for rooves. Ignoring the scenery, Remilia rushed towards the greatest sound activity of humans. Whatever had been chasing after her probably wasn't stupid and held some sort of magic or technology that would doubtlessly find her soon. Remilia had to act fast. As she closed in on a clearing with fields, some sort of park, Remilia saw a cluster of the humans in strange brown and dark green clothing. Pulling up a long horizontal line of small danmaku bullets, Remilia fired it off towards the unsuspecting humans as she ran into the park. What had essentially just been a barrage from a large firing squad instantly took down a majority of the humans. Those that had survived either turned and bolted or tried to resist her with what weapons were within reach. Not wanting to waste much time, she quickly finished off those who tried resisting and let those that fled off. Looking around at the area, there were multiple tents of dark green set up and crates were strewn around. There were tables that held several of those metallic danmaku shooters that the humans had. However, off to one of the corners of the park, Remilia noticed something peculiar. It resembled a danmaku shooter in that it had the signature long rod that the danmakus would fly out of, but it was much longer than the ones the humans carried. It was also large enough that Remilia couldn't imagine one of the humans carrying it. That's when she noticed a set of wheels on either side of the device. Though she had never tried it before, she had gotten the general gist of how these danmaku shooters had worked by watching the humans try time and time again while failing to try and shoot her down. This new contraption couldn't be much different, right?

Remilia knew that in order to fire these thigns, inefficient as it was, they had to be supplied with danmakus in physical form called bullets. noticing two boxes hang off the sides of the metal shooter, Remilia opened and checked them. Beautiful. It seemed that the thing was already supplied with the bullets.

Lost in thought, Remilia had not noticed something, however. The low, regular, droning swooshing sound that had been its identifying feature. The helicopter was back on Remilia's position.


*** "Fuck." Remilia muttered as she got to work quickly.


Though she had not much energy left to fire large amounts of danmaku herself, she figured that if she could combine the powers of the humans' weapon and her magic, she would stand a chance at dealing with the helicopter that was now close enough to see over the top of homes. Remilia touched the two cases that contained the ammunition and focused. She focused to instill her magic and energy into the bullets themselves. To behave like her danmaku. To fire like her danmaku. After instilling what energy they could contain before they would get overloaded, Remilia nodded to herself in satisfaction. These bullets ought to fire, explode, and pierce at much better energies than before. After all, what wouldn't improve after having Remilia's charisma instilled into them.

Looking over at the helcopter that was now close enough to start strafing, Remilia quickly brought up another shield as the helicopter strafed her position. The shield once again lasted, though it was getting dangerously weak now. Remilia quickly dispelled it and hopped into the seat that was behind the rod. Placing her foot down, she noticed that she could rotate the device by simplying pushing off. It seemed teh gun was mounted on a swivling device. Putting her hands down on the two handles that were in front of her, she noticed that there were buttons on them. Remilia grinned.

As the helicopter turned for another run, Remilia took quick action. Swivling the device so that the point of the weapon faced the helicopter, she gleefully pressed down on the buttons of the 20mm Tarasque AA gun, sending a hail of her own danmaku racing towards the helicopter.

Seeing Renamon recover by the blue-haired girl's magic, Yuuka aborted the spell card. The flower danmaku bullets that were poised to strike fell to the ground and turned into ashes. Well, at least she is with us, not against us.

"I saw you freeze that man in an ice cube." Yuuka approached the blue-haired girl. "But you are too pale to be Yukion'na. How do you have the power to manipulate ice?"

X's X-Buster transforms back into it's normal hand mode. X takes a few steps toward the group "I guess things settled on there own here..." Said X as he slowly walks towards the group. He looks at Renamon and walks towards her "Is it going to be okay?" Asked X as he looked at Aqua. Obviously worried a bit about the fox creature. He then looks at Yuuka as she walks forward. X takes a few steps back as Yuuka draws closer to them.

John could feel the difference in the armor. For instance, he could no longer feel even a fraction of it's weight,so the strength enchantment was working.
As for the shields, they were better than new. He grabbed the 3 transmutation crystals, the book, and the healing crescent, and put them in the storage compartment on his thigh.

"Thank you Mima. I hope to see you again in the future.", John said in a polite tone.

He then started walking out the door.

After both attacks stopped eachother, renamon sat on the floor exhausted from the sudden movements. Good to see that no one got injured.. she said to herself. As Yuuka and the blue armored guy were getting closer, the fox heard him asking about her.

"Yes, that thing is ok, and im a she" the vixen said not wanting to argue.

And to answer the green-haired girls´question "she is a blademaster with magical abilities coming from both herself and her key-looking weapon"
