[indent][indent]Lilac felt a slight disgust for herself as she paraded her students over the failings of Takai, in her mind. But what else was she suppose to do, despite the learning curve and difficulty they all came out on top. She would have to rectify the jealousy that now rested in her later. 

She clapped her hands the way a proud mother would. [color=violet][b]"Amazing! now if you all would just pair up. Come now, quickly. Annie with Dante, Max with Asher."[/b][/color] 

Making a very obvious point to stand within the Clocktowers boxy boundary, Lilac put on the air of someone in perfect control. [color=violet][b]"The Arena has only one rule. Any fighting underneath its stony pillars are prohibited. However, out there ..."[/b][/color] She gestured towards the green pasture laid out before them. Towards the few tall trees that watched over both the grass and the barely visible lake behind the far away slope south of the Clocktower. 

[color=violet][b]"Out there everyone and anything is fair game. Now you're all comrades, so I expect a degree of consideration when combating one another."[/b][/color]

Yaa dropped to the table before hopping even further onto the ground. [color=purple][b]"Lilac's been excited about doing this since yesterday,[/b][/color] he said, sounding more alive then his drowsy self moments before. 

[color=violet][b]"Indeed I have, today you all wil-"[/b][/color]

A terrible boom made the air tremble. A nebula of dark, earthen smoke rolled up the slope before slowing to light dust. 

Lilac, whom at first was startled, started piecing everything together. Takai's Koromon was the only other Digimon in the Arena, but an in-training Digimon didn't have the strength to create such a mess. She decided it easier to investigate. [color=violet][b]"Yaa, let's go."[/b][/color]

Yaa nodded once and begun to run the few hundred meters towards the lakeside. Lilac was soon to follow. [color=violet][b]"S-Stay here students. [i]Inside[/i] the Clocktower,"[/b][/color] she urged before sprinting down the slope, where the cloud and debris was even thicker than previous.  

Mameo burst from the cloud, rolling and skidding to a halt against the soft earth. [b]"Analogman! Damn you, let Takai go!"[/b] There was a growl in his usual tone. 

Takai walked from out the cloud, a small white dragon by his side as he stood in opposition of both Mameo and Lilac. He paused there, Digivice in hand, an ill black aura flowing from the apparatus. [color=maroon][b]"Whose the failure now, Lilac?"[/b][/color] His voice had an elderly echo behind it, an alien maniacal undertone. [color=maroon][b]"I'll show you me and Kibo's power.[/b][/color]

[color=violet][b]"So the dud finally exploded huh? Get ready, Yaa."[/b][/color]

[color=purple][b]"Already there, Lilac"[/b][/color] 

Mameo rushed over to the side of Lilac. [b]"Its not Takai,"[/b] he said. [b]"Analogman is controlling him. We have to subdue him."[/b]

[color=violet][b]"Subdue? but how without usin-"[/b][/color]

Before she could finish, Kibo the [url=https://wikimon.net/Hackmon]Hackmon[/url] soared high and crashed down between them. The three of them dodged the blow, the human's displaying jarring levels of agility. Yaa and Lilac landed far to the right, Mameo dropped down to the left. 

Takai simply held his Digivice tightly in his hand, gorging on the pain and hurt he felt, making it into energy for Kibo to consume. [color=maroon][b]"Damned idiots! Your struggle will only hasten your destruction!"[/b][/color] he cackled.[/indent][/indent]
