Of all the ways Raven could have tried to avoid the Lightning Spear, Maildramon certainly wasn’t expecting him to try and save himself by jumping from the roof. For a second he simply stared at the edge of the building in curiosity as he wondered if one of the Digidestined had just decided to make his life easier by ending things himself, only to realise Raven’s intentions when Peckmon carried his partner back onto the roof.

[color=aba000]“Yes, bravo. Let’s see how long you can hold on to that confidence shall we?”[/color]

The ostrich-like Digimon dashed across towards him, leaving behind multiple false images in an attempt to confuse his armoured opponent. Maildramon kept his calm and used his elevated position to keep an eye on as many of the Peckmon as he could, waiting until he saw one of them begin to leap up at him before he pushed forward and jumped down towards the other Digimon with an attack of his own. “Iron Press!”

Flaming talons met glowing claws as Maildramon caught Peckmon’s attack with the claws on one foreleg. The two Digimon were suspended in mid-air as the two attacks clashed, each Digimon attempting to overpower the other. At the same time, a couple of weak blasts caught the Champion in the side, harmlessly bursting on his armoured flank to no effect; presumably the spirited little rookie who had exhausted himself earlier was still trying to lend a hand.

[color=aba000]“Is this all you are capable of? Feebly struggling against someone like myself? I thought the Digidestined were supposed to be legendary heroes? Yes, pathetic. Has peace made you all weak?”[/color]

Suddenly, a barrage of attacks slammed into Maildramon from the side, throwing him away from Peckmon and sending him crashing to the rooftop. For a moment the Champion still before stirring, rising with a pained grunt as he lifted his head and turned towards his attacker.

Standing at the other end of the rooftop Leomon was waiting for him with his sword drawn. With a chuckled the Maildramon rose back his feet, digging his claws into the concrete as he glared from within his helmet at the new arrival. [color=aba000]“I see the Lion still has some claws at least. Yes, come, I will take you all on! Lightning Spear!”[/color]

With another nod of his head the armoured Champion sent forth another bolt of lightning, this time aimed at Leomon.
