Well, they wanted to get Maildramon's attention so... mission accomplished. Now he was actually focusing on them, which probably meant that the misdirection tactics from earlier wouldn't be as effective. This was not exactly what Raven had in mind. Straight forward fights were dangerous and sometimes suicidal for whoever ended up losing. That wasn't something he felt like dealing with today. But what choice did he have? He may not seen completely eye to eye with them, but these were still his friends and surrogate family at the end of the day. And he'd be damned before he let some bastard bring harm to them.

And then the attack came. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Maildramon was not aiming at Peckmon. At this, Raven had only one thought enter his mind. [i]Bastard stole my tactic. Nobody steals around here except for [b]me[/b]![/i] The Lightning was far too fast to avoid by side stepping or even diving to the side as Raven would still get caught in the blast. No, there instead was only [i]one[/i] way to get out of this and it required that the Human put his upmost faith and trust in Peckmon. Luckily, Raven had no problem doing just that. With a sly look on his face, Raven did what had to have looked utterly unthinkable to everyone else. He stepped [i]forward[/i] and let his body drop over the edge of the roof. The gravity from the fall would take him far enough way in a short enough amount of time to avoid the lightning blast. The only real problem now was that he would turn into smear on the pavement.

Or at least he [i]would[/i] it he had been partnered with any other Digimon besides Peckmon. With the same blistering speed as a moment ago, Peckmon made his move. No words needed to be exchanged. The two had fought together so many times and for so long that entire battle strategies could be passed around between them with only looks and glances. Peckmon was quick to use to his amazing speed to swoop down and catch his partner with his talons before the latter could splatter onto the pavement. Then with a quick and strong flap of his wings, he brought his partner back up to the safety of the roof, "Nice try." said Raven, offering a taunting bow, "Now it's our turn. Peckmon!"

No more words were needed as Peckmon went back onto the offensive. He moved as if to attack with Thousand Beaks again. But the pecks never came. Instead he was simply staying on the move and leaving behind countless afterimages of himself. This hopefully would make much harder to see the actual attack coming. From one of the many angles Peckmon was moving about in, he came in with what looked like another Spiral Claw. But this time his body spun, and spun fast enough that the friction practically ignited his talons and the attack was no longer the Spiral Claw, but the more powerful Burning Spiral.
