Those digimon need something.... and that is FREEEEEDOM!
Which Sparks can supply. I wanna get the hell out of here before that Fugamon shows up, especially if he brings backup with him. Which means defeating Kokabuterimon as fast as possible.

Fair enough though I'm still not changing... I can't exactly explain why but somethings rubbing my the wrong way with regards to joining up against Kokabuterimon and I know both SV and SB have habits of overlooking things in this situations.
Naturally I'll be happy if I loose and am wrong but I've just got these sense of unease hanging over me.
Woot! Page 149! Only one away from 150. I never thought things would get so far in just the first part!
Anyway time for a votecount!
Edit: Looks like helping Beat out against KoKabuterimon is winning.

Ardat's right there, they can last long enough for us to get to the cage.
Honestly, from what we've seen so far, besides the KoKabuterimon these guys are kinda shit. I expected this to all be a bit worse.

You know it could just be our guys are pretty BOSS too. Since Pidmon seems to be rather strong and Starch is no slouch either, so just because our guys are knocking them down doesn't mean the mon we are shit. Just means they are weaker then us.

Ardat already has one in the form of her broom and Sparks doesn't know any spells. If it really would be any use to them I'm sure they will think to do it on their own.

Pretty much my feelings on the matter, or heck even after the battle.
Right now we should be helping our friends win the actual fight than trying to toss em a wand that probably isn't all that useful for either of at the moment.
Perhaps the most obscure and rare evolution however is the "Equipment" evolution, where a digimon is able to bond with the equipment left behind by another deceased digimon of a higher level. Though this only works if the data of the mon in question is compatible with that of the preserved equipment.
...And as post it, I realize it says the previous user of the equipment is supposed to be dead first. Thus making my point moot unless Wizardmon gets executed.
Why would he ever think about taking Wizardmon's staff and giving it to Sparks in this situation?
Just reminding everyone that this is a thing:
...And as post it, I realize it says the previous user of the equipment is supposed to be dead first. Thus making my point moot unless Wizardmon gets executed.
...really. You think that currently, during a deadly fight, Verge would think "you know what, I should tell Sparks to carry this Wizardmon's staff for the rest of the fight, on the off chance that it causes him to spontaneously evolve into a Wizardmon." Even though Sparks only has one arm, and needs that arm free to use one of his moves, and is busy fighting in deadly combat?

The wand doesn't boost any of the elements that Spark uses so I don't think it is worth giving to him. Besides that I'm 90% sure that he is becoming a Wizardmon anyway so there is no need to try and find extra ways to push him towards that path.
As a note, if the the four enemy champions Scratch's squad is currently fighting had come across a group of Pidmon, they'd have actually done rather well. In a series of 1v1's they actually win more times then they'd lose.
Though in 4V4 they'd lose. AOE heals from each member is pretty OP in drawn out fights.

Would rather not waste time getting the staff.

And also, ya know, he doesn't know any spells, and it's a staff made for a mon much bigger than him, and he has one arm, and so on.
Verge doesn't have any position of authority, you guys. He can't actually control the other characters' actions in any significant capacity. And frankly I don't want him to. Quests where you vote on the actions of every character involved in a thing at the same time are tedious.
As a note. The Beta'd version of the last update is up. I'll post it here too:
[] Tell Sparks that you'll be supporting him every step of the way, but he's the only one that can answer the question. He has to… find the flames of heroism burning deep inside, and use them to grow ever stronger. Well, you think that's what Flamemon would tell him at least.
[] Strength Focus: 3 Strength, 1 Fortitude, 1 Endurance
[] Fortitude Focus: 3 Fortitude, 1 Endurance 1 Strength
[] Spirit
===
The next two days that pass are painful, exhausting, and put an utter strain on your body even greater than the previous two. Sprinting most of the day, often while carrying Sparks, and even using your summoned *bones* as weights take their toll. You get stronger still, and faster besides, but it's a painful process. What keeps you going (aside from healing magic) is the thought of saving that village from those who would destroy it. In those two days of moving west your paws carry you across more distance than ever before, all for the purpose of doing what Flamemon would have wanted.
You arrive late in the evening of the second day: exhausted, anxious and on the verge of throwing up but nonetheless ready to fight.
What greets you is a broken, entirely empty husk, lacking of even one rookie. You can't help it, your stomach lets loose.
MudFrigimon's village, or rather what used to be his village, has been destroyed. Massive holes line the circular wall, clearly the mark of champions having broken through. The *buildings* which had stood tall now lay smashed to splinters, intentionally broken to the point where there'd be no hope of rebuilding.
From what you can tell, the only thing left standing is the tree of rebirth in the center, but even it has been stripped of all of its eggs.
Sparks screams, latches onto you and tries very hard not to cry. The burning sensation running down your arm shows how well his attempts go. You ignore him and struggle just to stop your mind from breaking down. What happens next is a blur, as memories come to the surface, pain and sadness laced together with a rampant rage.
"Will you lay there defeated, and let them get away with what they've done? Or will you get up, and Tear Them Apart?"
Something hard smacks into the back of your skull, knocking you free from the trance and back into the realm of consciousness. A cold, hard hand yanks you back by the scruff and Sergeant Scratch gives you a chilling glare of disapproval. You shiver, looking away from the smaller champion, then wince as the shredded remnants of a still standing portion of the wall come into sight. The hand releases its grip, letting you drop back to the dirt, and a moment later your fiery friend shouts your name. Sparks hops forward, eyes wide in concern, and reaches down in an attempt to help you up.
The sergeant ignores all of this, seemingly content that you're lucid and paying attention, and turns away.
"The trail is fresh." He states matter-of-factly. "Some were captured. Rest now. We move in the morning."
A clawed hand lands on your shoulder, causing you to flinch. Whirling about with a closed paw, you make ready to punch whatever is behind you, only to stop as Ardat's sharp grinning teeth come into view. The Witchmon flashes you another thumbs up, then begins speaking in what she assuredly means to be a reassuring manner. After the thirty second mark passes, you begin to regret having stopped the attack.
The rest of the day is very tense, and there's not much talking. Pidmon hands out supper that evening, but every loaf is noticeably squished from his grip.
That night you dream of a red claw sliding down your face, and a haunting laugh.
===
Next morning, Scratch leads a brutal place through the forest even faster than before, going so far as to cut down any foliage in his way to clear the path for the rest of you. Fortunately, the digimon whom had assaulted the village aren't camped much more than a few hours of sprinting away.
Unfortunately, his rushed pace also means that your party just kind of stumbles directly into the enemy camp with no reconnaissance or preparation.
One moment you're sprinting behind Pidmon, Sparks desperately hanging on to your back. Then in the next you slam face first into the angel's muscular back. Your nose glances off his hard flesh, and you stumble past him-
-straight into a clearing packed to the brim with leering faces. Thirty-eight Goblimon and a half-score of Shamanmon turn towards the party with surprised, angry and in some cases, scared looks. You feel a brief flash of fear upon seeing so many hostile rookies, but a flash of anger brutally shatters that feeling into oblivion.
Instead of freezing, you rear up and give the area a glance. From what your single eye is able to perceive, the clearing is large and artificial, clearly only made recently and stretching perhaps fifty feet in a rough circle.
A large metal cage lays in the center, holding eight small mon that look like rookies. Some you recognize, but others like the pink bird digimon aren't something you ever remember seeing before.
There's no sign of anything that fits or resembles your mental notion of what a *Mud-Frigimon* should look like though...
However, there are a number of other digimon guarding the cage that certainly look like champions. In fact, it looks like a lot of champions.
Tuskmon
Minotauromon (Adult/Champion)
SaberDramon
Wizardmon
Spirits above! I-we....
They bolt up to their feet, (or in the bird's case into the air) clearly readying themselves for battle, but none attack yet. Instead silence falls as the clearing of digimon collectively stare down Scratch's squad, almost like they don't want to be the ones to make the first move. Not that it stops them from glaring across towards the intruders, i.e. you. There's no backing down for either group now; to run would mean being struck from behind.
Seeing the big green dinosaur and terrifying bird glare specifically at you out of the entire party is particularly horrifying. You have no idea why they would single you out, but you can practically feel the savage power radiating off of them, and it requires a tangible effort not to start digging at the ground so you can run away. Anger strikes like lightning, washing away the fear in a boiling wave of wrath. There are three champions with you; you can do this. The whirring sound of your drills cut through the air, and you step forward ready to kill.
You're so occupied with that feeling that you almost miss a fifth digimon lazily sauntering out from behind the cages.
KoKabuterimon
You don't think he's big enough to be a champion, standing perhaps only five feet tall horn included. Nonetheless, by the standards of anyone but yourself, he's a big rookie. However, something about the stubby mass of spiked chitin screams danger, nearly to the degree of the much larger digimon in front of the metal construct.
"You!" The last mon you expected to blindly charge forth, practically explodes from his spot behind you, and plows through the larger Goblimon, easily tossing them aside.
"Me!" The much larger rookie(?) replies, his(?) deceptively high voice leaking a sort of pleased amusement. This proves to be the fight's catalyst, provoking aggression as both sides open up with the first volley of attacks.
"Thunder Cloud!" The wizardmon attacks first, throwing a ball of lightning towards you-
"Baluluna Gale!"
-Only for a sudden gust of wind from Ardat to fly into the ball of energy, sending it crashing into the green dinosaur's skull. It recoils in sudden pain, and with red berserk eyes charges towards your much, much smaller ally, clearly ready to spear her on its tusks.
"Fire Feather!" Pidmon shouts, his wings unleashing a hail of fiery projectiles towards... the mass of Goblimon? The small green rookies don't stand a chance against the dozens of flaming feathers, and in the next moment find themselves shredded en masse, as each individual projectile rips through the front ranks, then continues on without slowing down. Nausea wells up in your gut as the smell of burnt flesh carries through the air, and those few that only received glancing hits let out horrible wails of pain. It annihilates most of the horde with a single move, and breaks the rest, sending them fleeing into the nearby woods.
"Mach Shadow!"
Your newly made friend doesn't get to follow up on the attack, as a black blur crashes into his body and tackles him into the woods behind you.
The bovine champion lifts his metal gun-arm to fire, but in a flash of steel, Scratch is there, his dual sabers already moving down to sever the taller digimon's dark, muscled arm at the bicep. It falls free of the body a second later and is accompanied by a deep bellow of pain.
Of the enemy rookies left, only the Shamanmon remain; and sadly, their morale doesn't look even close to breaking. They charge towards the two of you with aggressive *whooping* sounds, gathering up energy on their clubs.
Sparks doesn't freeze.
"Bonfire!" Your friend screams, unleashing a ball of fire that soars through the air and takes off the head of the leftmost rookie. The other four freeze in sudden surprise and then resort to wildly dodging as your friend unleashes another strike.
You make to charge forward, aiming to defeat the four remaining rookies quickly so you can help Beat, but are forced to divert your attention as the wizardmon charges towards you.
"I knew it!" The surprisingly high pitched figure roars. "You survived!" He tosses his staff aside mid-charge, and raises his fists up into the air.
Do I like… know this Wizardmon?
You nervously swallow, remembering the last time you'd come to grips to with a champion in melee, but rear up anyways. The small champion skids to a stop just out of the striking range, as if something had given him pause, and looks you up and down a few times. His eyes widen in disbelief.
"...You're bigger than you were before!" he angrily accuses, leveling one finger at you chest. "That's cheating!"
...He sounds familiar. But...from where?
You shrug the question off for another time, step forward, pull back an arm-and are nearly caught flat footed as the Wizardmon blurs as he steps forward and tries to slam a fist through your guard. It's only the small twist of your hips that leads to his punch bouncing off your arm instead of slamming home straight into your face. The impact sends tremors of force down your thick, furred arm, and forces your bone let out a strained creak, but it's not completely debilitating like you'd have expected from a larger champion.
His other fist follows up, lashing out towards your weakened defenses. However this time you're ready, and as his fist knocks aside your left arm you lean to the side, letting it only ruffle the fur on the blind side of your face.
"Mach Jab!"
Meanwhile, your counter-punch hits him dead on. The Wizardmon falls backwards and down as your awkwardly clenched fist buries itself into his blue face, and with a cry of surprised pain he rolls back across the ground. He comes to a stop several several seconds later, laying on his back unmoving. Victory surges through you at the sight, and for a moment you think that the fight is won.
Then the champion lets out a discontented ground and leaps back to his feet. He stares at you hate-filled, narrowed eyes and huffs in frustration.
"He's just a rookie, beating him will be easy! You won't even have to use sorcery!" The derision, annoyance, and spite in his voice make you think he may be quoting someone. "Blegh." You frown at the Wizardmon. He doesn't look all that hurt; in fact, if you had to describe it, he's more annoyed than anything else. You take a deep breath and set your stance once again, waiting for him to come at you once more.
Your opponent is far more cautious this time, using his far greater speed to dart behind you for a free strike. Before you can fully manage to pivot, his fist painfully digs into your side. He steps back to avoid your retaliatory swipe, then steps back in and launches a haymaker towards your face. You try to duck the punch, but It still manages to clip the top of your head. More pain erupts as you fall backwards, but it's hardly overwhelming. You twist, using what you'd learned in the wrestling class to the turn the fall into a roll and gain a few feet of distance from the angry champion.
"Friggin slippery little mole!" Wizardmon grumbles, taking a lazy step forward. "Don't think you'll get a time out from me!"
O-okay?
With another breath, you retreat backwards, trying to put your back to the trees. He follows with a flurry of light punches, forcing your guard to stay in place lest one hit slip through. The fight reminds you of the tussle you'd had against the Monodramon back in the village.
Wizardmon's faster than me, tougher, too. Probably stronger as well. But…
Your back finally slams home against the bark of thick tree, and the attacks stop. You begin to chant the healing spell under your breath.
I can win this. He can't heal himself.
"Hehe, the next few minutes are going to be fun. I just wish the boss was here to see this." Wizardmon loudly cracks his knuckles, sends another glare your way then steps forward, clearly getting ready for another assault. So he's completely unprepared as a fireball crashes into his head.
Sparks hops into view as the champion rocks back, and points a finger at the older digimon.
"You won't-won't fight Verge alone!" He exclaims, hurrying over to stand by your side.
"Spirits below, two of you now..." Wizardmon grumbles, glaring at the newcomer. "Alright then, hehe, I'll just have to pummel you both then! You're just rookies after al-" That's all he manages to get out before a green blur beans him in the head with an almost comical *Thwack*.
"Heh. Yeah! Well done Prick!" Sparks chuckles as the Wizardmon is knocked over. "Wait… Beat!" You look over towards the Wormmon, and wince upon noticing the mass of cracks and bruises covering his body. Your ally weakly stirs from where he's fallen after bouncing off the humanoid champion's skull, and turns back to glare towards the direction from which he was thrown.
"Kokokoko. Sorry about that, friend" KoKabuterimon laughs, sauntering into sight, "Thaaaat was entirely an accident. Why, I'd swear it on Beat's digicore!"
Beat? He knows Wormmon's name?! How?!
The insect digimon in question struggles to his feet, his furious glare landing on the Kokabuterimon.
"I'll. Delete. You" he snarls, before breaking off into a series of pained coughs. You can spot bytes of pulverized data erupting free from his mouth.
"Aaaah, and why is that? I thought we were friends?" The much larger insect digimon replies, as if trying to sound sad.
"Shut! Up!" Beat screams, leaping towards what you guess to be KoKabuterimon. This doesn't do him much good, as he rebounds off of his foe with a loud, dull *clack* and falls back down onto his side.
"Kokokoko!" He laughs mockingly, casually moving to stand beside his ally.
Wizardmon struggles back to his feet again, wobbling slightly from the repeated head trauma. He raises an index finger into the air as if to say something-
-But is interrupted as a familiar broom hits him squarely on the back of his head. Your opponent limply collapses to the ground face first and lays there unmoving.
"Ho there fellow sorcerer! I, Ardat, Master Of Wind challenge you to..." Ardat trails off from her speech as she notices that her fellow spellcaster has fallen. She raises her *weapon* in one claw and lightly pokes the downed champion a few times. When there's no response she gives a sigh of disappointment. "Umm..."she looks towards beat. "You guys need any...help?"
"No!" the badly beaten Wormmon screeches, forcing himself back up. "He's mine!"
Sparks back off from the fight and looks towards the cage in the camps center. The cage holding what rookies remain from MudFrigimon's village.
You:

You know, I'm thinking: since Endurance's soft cap is 180, at least when the Endurance Talent is E, that tells me that the other E-ranked talent stats are probably around the same as well, possibly higher for Fortitude. Agility's is probably like 160 since its talent is lower. Strength probably has the highest soft cap at like 200 for E-ranked Talent.
What I'm trying to say is, stat gain is going to start slowing down more and more soon.
