Yeah, this seems fine.
 
I am going to have to veto part of the write in. Namely:
and ask them to help look out for your missing friends.
I mean... who is he asking them to help look out for? Thresh, Lunamon and Auger? They're kind of with Count, which is something Verge knows. Gnaw is a theoretical possibility I suppose, but the current wording doesn't make that clear.

I was assuming it meant to ask them to keep an eye out for Gnaw, yes.

Yeah it makes sense to tell our bois about our friends in case they meet them, so that they can tell them what we're doing. As well as the fact that they may help them out.

Thanks to the recent revelations, you have no hesitation as to what actions will be taken during the morning. And by *actions* you mean spending the early day interacting with the two newly evolved champions. For their part, both Warren and Scourge are happy to postpone their egress a few hours for the promise of further interaction.

While there is an almost physical cloud of sorrow hanging over the conversation, you do your very best to make sure that both mon know that you're not upset at their decision. After all, in the end it's their choice, both mon are champions after all. From the talk, you learn that transit to The Great Arena is thankfully a rather safe route. All it will require of them is flying over to the next town before boarding a Locomon to the combative city state, which means the personal risk to them will be minimal.

You do a bit of digging about Scourge's planned location, worried about the danger of their future profession, but Warren is able to assuage your worries. According to the information he's been able to gather from Frigimon and the town's other inhabitants, the city's sovereign leader (Malkimon) only runs lethal combat on very rare occasions. And even those are strictly voluntary unless one or more of those combatants is some sort of prisoner. Warren even has a vague idea of how to sign up, which surprisingly enough came from MasterTyrannomon whom spent some of his youth as a gladiator. Unfortunately that is the limit of their knowledge on the subject leaving a number of your other queries about the profession and city unanswered. You resist acting upon the odd sense of familiarity that comes up with city's ruler, as it shouldn't really affect either of them.

On the conversation's other front, you give the pair of newly evolved mon some advice. In no uncertain terms, you advise that if they should ever happen to come across an opponent that outmatches them, running should be their first option. You don't want either of them to throw their lives away for a sense of misplaced pride, but you also understand that there may be battles they cannot give up on. Scourge nods at this, but Warren just clenches a claw for some reason.

With the off chance of coincidental luck working in your favour, you tell the two of them to watch out for a BlackGarurumon named *Gnaw*. While you'd personally given up the idea of finding your old friend while serving as a soldier in the Host, perhaps they might stumble upon him one day.

Lastly, the subject of money comes up, and you end up being very concerned by the fact that they have almost nothing to their names. Fortunately you've managed to accrue quite the wealth from your recent missions, and with the help of Warren's smaller sets of hands manage to hand over all but one of your bit chits. Twenty thousand bits may be a lot, but if it helps them out in the days to come, then the personal expense is more than worth it.

After the long talk, you spend a couple hours helping the two insect digimon on adjusting to their new bodies. While evolution does give one a basic knowledge of how to use their new forms, actual mastery over it is a different manner. Sadly, you can't physically spar with your wards for worry of accidentally harming them, as even parries could wrench their limbs free. But as a Gryzmon you're able to discern their movements and offer suggestions well enough.

Frigimon brings a sobbing Grip along to say goodbye to his brothers, who ends up jumping into your fur and refusing to leave. Knowing the feeling of grief all too well, you let the rookie stay there.

At the end, Scourge heads off to the gate, while you escort Warren to the post. Now that he's a champion you're less worried about Ardat deleting him by accident, even if it's still technically a possibility.

This time Ardat takes longer to come out and greet you, with the unhappy Pidmon at attention actually having to go inside and get her. Instead of the usual hug/tackle, your friend blearily stumbles out Frigimon's manual still clenched in one hand.

"Haaah, hellow-servant-we're a little bit umm..." The exhausted LadyDevimon blinks twice in rapid succession, only now noticing Warren. "-and this is?"

"Greeting..." The Kuwaagamon pauses examining the former Witchmon, his body oddly tense. Finally the insect clenches his fists, takes a deep breath and kneels down. "Lady Ardat. My sincerest apologies, but I cannot serve you as I am now. To fulfill my oaths I must travel to Arena City."

That is... oddly formal. He must be getting that terminology from Frigimon's books.

You watch, tensing up as a wave of indignant anger wash over Ardat's body as if the declaration had somehow upset her. However all that vanishes behind an odd smile. The tiredness hindering your friend vanishes for a moment as she reaches out with her claws and lightly runs it down the champion's carapace, though thankfully not had enough to do actual damage.

"We lend you permission to find power servant. Feed your desires, gain strength for us and return when the time is right." something about Ardat's words and actions send alarms sprouting out from your core along with the sudden urge to stop whatever the Scion is doing. The urge runs head long into a barrier of desire, something urging you to kneel and in the end, neither wins out. Warren's body shudders and you swear the air around them both flashes a light purple before Ardat pulls away.

What just occurred?! What did she do to Warren?!

Unfortunately that last burst of effort seems to have drained the last of the mutant LadyDevimon's energy and she ends up stumbling towards you. A moment later you find the Ultimate buried in your fur as if it's some sort of bed. Grip is thankfully on your back, and thus avoids being squished by her flesh.

If the event which had just occurred bothers the largest of your wards, he doesn't show it, or indeed even reference it happened. The champion just stands up and continues on like nothing happened and he just brushes off your attempts to ask about it.

In the end you're left with a worried feeling as Ardat is carried back off into the basement by the now strangely cheery Pidmon. Something about the sight of him carrying her is oddly aggravating, but you push past it. The time has come to say your last goodbye.

The niggling feeling of sorrow in your core grown more with each and every step as you walk Warren to the gate where Scourge is waiting. Regrets flash to mind at a constant rate, guilt over not spending more time with your wards along with the pleasant memories you'd shared with them.

However, there's nothing you can do about the past beyond revising it in memory. Even if you can't spend more time with them now, after Repulsa, Count and his servants are slain you'll be able to visit them at your leisure. Yes, that would be nice.

You sweep both insectoids up into a final hug, struggling to keep the tears from your eye.

"Goodbye you two I... I know you'll do me proud."

"Yes Lor-Verge. We-we will sir." Warren responds, his voice trembling with emotion. "And Grip, I'm... sorry for not staying with you."

"Hiss!" Scourge adds in happily, wrapping his long scything talons around your body. Grip does his best to hug his brothers individually, before the four of you pull away.

Barring the deaths you'd witnessed on That Day, watching Warren and Scourge fly up over the wall and out of sight is the most painful experience of your entire life.

===Authors note: And here it is. This was... pretty sad to write. Good news is that the two of them should be relatively safe for now. Edit: Also Verge is down 20K bits, leaving him with just over 2 thousand left. Ouch.

Okay than. I'm not the only one worried about this am I?

Anyways on a more positive note.

Goodluck Bug Bois.
 
....I am sincerely worried Ardat's nature as a Lust Scion may be making her... difficult, she seems to have gained the favour of the Pidmon who hated her somehow and is doing things that make Verge jealous. Further she is playing on other digimons affections for her seemingly. If she does that too much this could lead to issues.

Personally I really don't want her to turn into a manipulative succubus. And the way she's acted here seems to hint she's starting to
 
I'm concerned about what Ardat is doing to those around here, but I doubt she's even aware of it.

At least the various influence in Verge's head seem to be negating each other, somewhat.

Although, if they ever all agree on something...
 
In discord we were discussing a few things like Arar's infulence. Also for future reference and for the sake of simplicity I'm just going to refer to Arar's more malicious side as Darkat.

Demenos: Anyways back to my point if Arar really does have a passive mind effecting ability since possibly her hatching.
If the little Sarge interlude was to go by
GwaedDraig: How many people has she influenced? or something else?
Demenos: That probably depends on a few things
Typing, Level, and personality
To name a likely few
So far my only guess as to why it worked on Sarge
is that it may have been due to possibly having a moment hesitation on deleting a friendly in-training and the fact his personality was for the most part blank
TempestK: If I recall correctly, his defenses dropped because he was reminded of a lost friend.
Demenos: Yeah that probably was the moment the influence got through
anyways I think it was mentioned that the influence has greater effects on viruses right?
GwaedDraig: I think so yeah
Drexal15: Data attribute based mon would technically be the most vulnerable
Demenos: Ouch, Welp that's another problem added to the Verge side of things
but going back to the Spidy bois
They played with Arar repeatedly which meant they were probably exposed to the influence a decent and add to the fact that they were intrainings and rookies while she was a champ
TempestK: it was sort of implied that she didn't infect them though
at least not until now
Demenos: Tis passive, Also the main thing I was trying to get at is that they're probably are more susceptible to more forceful means
GwaedDraig: a serious question would be how many of the other villagers have gotten 'influenced' by her prior, because some things could come to pass if circumstances line up
Demenos: that'd probably depends on how often she was with them and what her relations with them are
also the previously mentioned type, level, and personality
GwaedDraig: so Drex..... what're the odds Ardat has more people influenced to varying degrees?
Drexal15: That is a certainty
 
6th Of Water: Near-Violent encounter & A Voluntary Mission:
The feeling of loss that comes with the wards exit from Electown strikes deep down into the center of your core. What's more, you have the correct notion that it's going to hang around for a long while. Dealing with aches like this is difficult, but nothing you aren't used to considering what other tragedies have occurred.

After swinging by the post to pick up a load of foodstuffs, you drop Grip back off in Frigimon's care, eat lunch and then head to the gym. What's left of the day passes by in a flash of exercise as you throw yourself full bodily into intense training. The Gryzmon forms love of training is a massive boon to your mental state at the moment, soothing your battered, worried mind. More weights, more trips to the stronger auto-puncher with the occasion break to take your supplements.

By the time late evening arrives, your thoughts have taken a notable turn.

Ever since That Day at the village you'd thirsted for power. The power you needed to rescue your friend, family and get vengeance alongside Sparks. For so long you'd been a rookie, a complete weakling in the grand scheme of things.

But now as a champion you'd managed to not only reach tremendous heights, but also accrue strong allies.

It's been forty-four days since Repulsa deleted Flamemon. Since Count kidnapped your family and deleted your friends. Even Fu, while not truly gone is now a mere shadow of her former self.

All because of them.


Now the Gloaming forces here in the frontier are weaker than ever before and there's finally a chance that you could fulfill your promise and rescue them.

=

Which is why you find yourself in front of the Throne, throwing one claw up into a shaky salute as he exits Mayor MasterTyrannomon's house.

"Sir." You say, trying (and failing) not to let the words come out as a growl. "I require information."

The robed angel doesn't flinch at your rough voice, though it does clearly surprise him. Your superior leans back for a moment studying you intently from behind his helmet before finally replying.

"I will forgive your abruptness this time Bellator Gryzmon." he frowns, arm crossing. "What information do you seek solider?" You take a deep breath, ignoring the aching pain from training and train an eye on his helmet.

"I need... Count's position. There are digimon, my family are in his possession I must break them free. "

"Hmm, the location of the Lord Vamdemon's new base of operations is currently unknown. But-" In a flash of white the Ultimate has crossed the distance between you. Before you can move to counter the Ultimate is tugging your snout down to slam painfully against his helmet. "-even if I knew, that is not information you deserve to know Mutant." You growl at that, making ready to retaliate, before something sharp makes itself known at the bottom of your chin. The tip of his sword is there, ready to slip in at any moment and stab upward into your skull. "There are proper channels to get information, marching up and demanding information from your superiors is not acceptable." With that he pulls back, letting go of your head and sheathing his sword. You glare at HolyAngemon, but nod, accepting both his words and the power gap that had been clearly established.

After a second the angel sighs, then reaches up to rub his chin in though.

"Bellator, I am not heartless. You and the rest of your squad are an undeniable asset to The Blessed Host. I will seek out the information you require, but it will take time. Blindly searching would only lead to your deletion, even if you found Count, he and his servants are powerful. Even one such as you would not survive, even your fully assembled allies would not guarantee victory."

"That... it makes sense, sir." You reply, barely stopping your words from being a grumble. "I'm, sorry for my actions."

"Apology accepted soldier." He responds, not quite smiling. "I can wholly understand your emotions, but they must be controlled." The Ultimate pauses, looking back over towards the Mayor's house. "It is perhaps fortune that we had this meeting mutant. Words has come on the siege of Phelesmon's fortress. The final push will be happening shortly and my presence is required for when he personally takes the field. The members of your squad would be a useful boon in the assault; I know that Bellator's Pit and Stingmon will come, but your presence is not strictly required."

The robed angel finally smiles, and the freezing cold gesture sends chills rolling down your spine.

"If what you told SlashAngemon is true. If you wish to make yourself as a *hero* then this operation could assist that goal. A Legendary Warrior of the champion level has been reported fighting on Phelesmon's behalf, it could be the perfect match for a mon such as you."

=== Choose One:

[] Yes. You'll head out with him to Phelesmon's fortress to fight. Spreading your name like Flam-Agnimon would have is important if you wish to fulfill his dream. What's more, this Legendary Warrior could be a worthy opponent. You've yet to have a proper challenging match since you evolved to Gryzmon. This could be your chance for an honorable, fight against a peer while supporting the rest of your squad.

[] No. Grip is still grieving from the loss of his brothers and Lady Ardat No is still in a sensitive state. Leaving them to go on a mission is... not something you want. Plus, it'll allow you to keep training at the gym and keep studying slide evolution under Frigimon.

Huh, looks like she accidentally gave a compulsion to "Grow Strong" and "Come back alive"

Now is a good time to go on a mission because studying Slide Evolution will keep Ardat distracted for a while. She'll probably barely even notice that we aren't around.

Wow looking at Scourges stats it looks like he actually has pretty decent spirit, overall the two bros don't look beastly but from what I can tell they are pretty darn good for fresh evolutions of not overpowered species like of of Sarges squad are.

Now this is something I want to see just for the lulz of it :p
I'd rather git rid of the influence that's already been put on Verge in all honesty.... though given his natural parental skills it could end with him as the nanny.

As an aside it's amazing how much Verge's evolution seems to have affected his temper given how rarely red text shows up compared to how it used to do so, really goes to show how much more control it has... and probably means that if it comes back it's going to mean stuff is going down.
