[color=f7941d]Ryudamon sniffed the air and turned towards Alistar. "The shard is this way. I can smell the energy coming from a nearby shrine.[/color]

[color=00aeef]Alistar smiled. "Another step towards our goal. Do you smell any guards of lifeforms that we might have to take care of?" Alistar asked.[/color]

[color=f7941d]Ryu sniffed the air again. "A few minor annoyances. Nothing I can't handle." With that they both walked a bit further and came upon a temple. It resembled a tree, afterall why wouldn't it since they were in a forest sector. The tree temple wound it's way up into a canopy of weird conglomeration of the seasons. It split into four sections each representing the four seasons found on earth.[/color]

[color=00aeef]As far as Alistar was aware though seasons didn't work the same here so this was a bit strange to him. Either way this place held a shard so he stopped admiring the magnificents of the tree temple and ducked behind the bushes when he saw digimon come around the base of the tree. "Two mushroommon and a redveggiemon."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Still nothing I can't handle. Maybe with a little upgrade though." Ryu grinned as he held up one of his katannas.[/color]

[color=00aeef]Alistar knew exactly what he was talking about to. "Alright lets see." He said as he took out his digivice and his cards. Alistar laughed under his breath as he cam across the chainsaw upgrade. "Can be applied to any sword." He said as he read off the card. "Now be ready!" Alistar said as he jumped out of the bushes startling the digimon. They quickly recovered as they readied thier attacks. "Execute! Chain saw upgrade apply!" The other digimon were confused for a second until Ryu popped out of the bushes as well.[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Katanna Slash!" He yelled as the spikes that appeared on the blade began to spin. All the other digimon saw were three flashes of light before their eyes and then nothing as they turned to data. "Well that was easy enough. Told you I could take them!"[/color]

[color=00aeef]Alistar cocked an eyebrow and hmphed at Ryu. He knew he could have taken them but he didn't want the little dragon to get to smug. "Come along now Ryu. We must collect the shard for our master." With that they both entered the tree to find the shard.[/color]
