So anything people are looking forward too? I am somewhat looking forward to our duel with Fonte and hopefully meeting some other old faces with our new form.

[] Use this time to check in with some of Bulwark's more veteran trainers, mayhaps there's some technique you could learn before the expedition.
===
That night you spend an hour searching out Bulwark's veteran trainers for new techniques. Initially these attempts prove unsuccessful due to your already extensive repertoire and the fact that learning techniques involving weapons would ultimately be pointless. Fortunately at the tail end of your investigation, a CyberDramon brings up something that is very interesting after you mention Void-Step.
"Void… step?"
"Aye, that is my preferred name for the *air-walking* technique."
"Interesting nickname, do you have anything similar for Sky-Current?" All that name garners from you is a confused blink. Prompting the dramon to flap his wings for emphasis. "You know, flight."
"I do not… as I cannot fly." You state gesturing towards your very wingless back.
"That's not what I meant Chevalier. Sky-Current is a spirit based type of flight. It's a propulsion based off advanced energy manipulation." He explains before rising up into the air for emphasis, wings staying perfectly still.
Energy based flight? Most interesting… Yes, I can feel his spirit surging outwards…
"It's surprising that you don't know this already, a mon of your strength surely must have already seen it in use?"
"Mayhaps…"
It would explain how GrandLocomon was able to fly.
"Can you teach me how?"
Improving my ability to maneuver even further would be most useful. If I can combine it with Void-Step then...
"Yes but I warn you that this is an advanced skill. It will take a while to learn."
"I would expect nothing less, but I enjoy challenges. Practicing for weeks is an acceptable cost."

Come morning you wake up even earlier than the norm in order to say a proper goodbye to Grip. After a quick hug, the champion presents you with three very useful gifts: a new eyepatch plus new straps for Sorcerymon's wand and Gramps' bag. Your offer of payment is quickly refused, your ward is simply glad to be helpful.
Once the goodbye has finished, you stride on over to Bulwark's central courtyard to wait for daybreak, but find a number of mon waiting there already. The other expedition members Leopardmon assigned aren't the *normal* Bulwark species you've seen running around the place, but rather a BlueMeramon, Pandamon and a Panjyamon. Given the zone's renowned weather, you'd be hard pressed to think of better choices for this. Though It also helps that they all feel pretty strong, not as strong as you of course, but working together… you think they might be able to give you a decent spar.
Indeed, you're about to go and find out if that notion is true when-
*Pop*
-two presences appear above the courtyard. The first you know nigh-instantly, a powerful Ultimate smelling of fire, static, metal and mischief. However it takes you a full three seconds to recognize the latter's signature.
Sweat, Water and... Strength.
Fonte falls onto the stones in front of you, one armored hand clutched around the hilt of her berserk blade. Pleasant surprise rises in your core upon seeing the pink Knightmon, though it's quickly tainted by worry upon realizing what her presence means.
If Fonte has arrived, then… Drop will not be far behind.
A shiver rolls down the length of your spine, causing the sudden urge to find Leopardmon and tell him you've changed your mind about the mission. However that in turn is met by a swell of tightly controlled anger.
No Verge. You will not back down. I refuse to let my path be altered, even in the face of… that. Peace Verge, peace. Remember, Fonte promised to spar with you. Let that take precedence here.
…
When did I start dislike Dro-Beat's friend this much? I do not remember thinking of her so… poorly. There must be a reason for this… Mayha-
"Hail GrappLeomon." Fonte's voice cuts through your thoughts like a blade. "I am in the midst of a search for Shay….Vay-lay… shay-vay…. leer... Verge?" The womon trails rubbing the back of her head. "Yonder Wisemon told me you knew where he was." Behind her Sparks flashes you a wink, his lips spread tightly into a very punchable grin. Regretfully you hold back the urge to unleash justice upon him and focus on the armored Ultimate.
"Aye, I am standing here."
"I see that you are ser warrior." Fonte replies patiently. "But I wish to speak the words of warriors with Verge." Naturally your first impulse is to shout that yes you are standing right in front of her, but that would only play into Sparks' shenanigans. Instead you take a deep breath, center yourself, then make the matter clear.
"I am Verge."
"No, you are not." Fonte insists adamantly, eyes narrowing into an annoyed glare. "The Wisemon said you'd say that and that I shouldn't be fooled when you said… that."
… spirits below. First Thresh, now this.
"Hehehehehe." Sparks meets your glare with a low, gut-busting laugh.
Peace Verge. Peace. Peace. Peace.
"Fonte, please consider this. I bear the same fur." You state, waving towards your mane.
Albeit regretfully less of it now.
"Furthermore consider my unique stature and immense power. The odds of another such mutant not only existing but attempting to utilizing my name after I was recruited by Bulwark are… astronomical."
A second passes, then two, then ten. Finally your ally's head bobs down in understanding.
"You are Verge, you even sound him like. But…" The Ultimate turns, throwing a confused look towards Sparks. "Why would the Wisemon lie? Is he an enemy?"
"No…" You sigh in exasperation as Sparks' breaks out into a full blown cackle. "My friend just believes this to be… humorous."
"Ah c'mon Verge! Ya should've seen yer face! That was hilarious!" The Wisemon exclaims popping back onto your pauldron.
Do not give him attention, Verge.
"Oh yeah, how's the big idiot we rescued doin'?"
"Thresh had been doing fine." You snap, growling exactly as much as you mean to "Sparks, he said math was… dumb."
"Oh…" All traces of mirth drain from his voice. "That ain't good."
"A true travesty." You agree with a sharp nod.
"I don't understand, math? What-" Fonte murmurs confusedly.
"Yeah, maybe it's better that ya don't pinky."
"Call me that once more and I'll wring your neck sorcerer."
"Oi! Ya gonna let her threaten me like that Verge?" The Wisemon yelps, leaning away from her glare.
"This is not my place to interfere." You counter, careful not to let any enjoyment show. "But your presence here is curious Dame Fonte. Should you not be protecting your… " It takes a moment to prevent the annoyance from leaking into your voice. "-charge?"
"Normally yes chayvayleer, but the Great Leopardmon invited me to a training expedition into the Flux Mountains and even offered to send a replacement in my stead." She explains happily. "I couldn't pass up such an opportunity to cultivate strength. Alas, my squires could not join me, this journey would have tempered them greatly"
"Ah… why not?"
"They are still charged with protecting the Holy Goddess Drop, I could not deprive them of that honor… and Leopardmon said only I could come, and he'd take away my training equipment if I tried." Fonte admits before straightening up suddenly. "-but that's not what kept me from bringing them." She adds hastily.
"I see, that makes sen-training equipment?" Your head tilts quizzically to the side. "How is it that he can take it from you?"
"The Great Leopardmon has been responsible for supplying me and my squires with all our training needs. And food too. And supplements… and trainers… and-"
"That is enough, I understand." You half-growl. "Why?"
"I'm not sure." Fonte admits, tapping one finger against her faceguard. "He showed up after I evolved and offered me a place here as another chayvayleer, but I couldn't go, so instead he offered all that."
… Bulwark only gave me meals. But that was after I hunted feral Ultimates down.
An odd feeling rises from your core, something dark and clingy. You don't like it.
Mayhaps I could just... fight her now?
===AN: Verge has reuinted with Fonte!... and it wasn't as fun as he though it'd be. Sparks is... kind of a jerk huh?

Did you mean "arm" or was there meant to be another word after this?
Knightmon
Presumably because you being a member of the Host at the time means that its hard for him to offer more without making it clear that something fishy is going on.

How cute, you think Magnamon doesn't have some sorta mental disorder
Getting some serious Bleach vibes with these air techniques, rather then just straight up flying like say in dbz he's creating energy platforms to stay in air and using energy to fire himself around the place.
I mean all mon are strange, he's probably just not showing it off or has lived a long time an grow out of his behaviour somewhat.

Huh... I guess the Air-walking is bleach-like isn't it? Kek, not intentional. The flight though is meant to be DBZ'esque.

So tired.....
I am amused at how Grizzlymon had most of his shit together but Grappleomon's intense emotional drives wreck Verge's previous calm and makes him aware of more negative emotions than just wrath
Its like a reverse growth
"On the good side they are too stupid to ever go evil!"
"How is that a good side Leopardmon?"
"I don't fucking know but the damned tree is happy so I did something right. I just don't know what I did."

And also Yiggy isn't exactly getting perfect candidates, it might have gone with Verge for Craniumon but seems to have been more of a desperation thing.
Outside of Hackmon I don't think a single royal knight is really the perfect candidate right out the gate. Also Yeah Verg isn't the only desperation move he's made as Thresh has clearly shown.
Naturally but from what I can Yiggy would not have gone with Verge if it had any alternatives that could reach those levels of power, its first reaction to us was disgust after all.

Let me put it this way.
Verge is what your average Yggy would send his Royal Knights after to exterminate before it can grow into an actual threat.
As I'm sure people have figured out, he was allowed to have Avalon because there was literally no other choice.
Last edited:
I figure Thresh would be somewhere on that list to if he also wasn't picked up by yiggy, unless access to his hazard and it's powers form his previous life was the gift yiggy gave him. Also here's hoping we find out in the future why he was so desperate and why Verg was the only choice he had with Avalon.
Eeeeeh welll the thing is all Guilimon with Gallentmon potential are dangerous as dealing with the hazard is kind the entire point of that Megas arc.
It's kind of the sort of thing this Yiggy would have to do at one point or another.
Wow... than again he does have Sovergin potential and while not Superheavyweight they are still the strongest of normal heavyweights. I don't want to know what Verge's worst possible Mega form could be given the species he shared a lab with.
I'm not sure if Verge would have gone the path towards a Sovereign without Avalon as a stabilizing influence either personally.
Kind of curious how this changes the growth and personality of Yggdrasil.
Honestly we have no idea what would have happened.... though in the worst case I'd immagine we find out what the 'something unpleasent' Frigimon was talking about waaay back when was.
I am still hung up on Verg being yiggy's only choice for Avalon, like what is the criteria here cause there has to be a non abomination that could easily fit the role of Craniumon normally . What is it about Verg that yiggy can't get in normal mon.
Normally yes but Thresh is the more violent of variant of the species, most likely was a Megidramon in his past life and if turns out that he doesn't need yiggy to uses his power is already on his way to becoming a threat due to him being able to uses the hazard at champion level. What I am saying is both Verg and Thresh would be on the list even tho they haven't really done anything causes they are both threats just by their existence under normal circumstances.
I won't assume much, Yggdrasil really isn't an emotional being and I kind of doubt Verg will change his mind over the course of being a royal knight from just doing his duties alone. You usually need to do something like sucker punch them so hard the digital world feels it for yiggy to change it's mind.

Remember thier are only 10-20 known megas period a mon with mega potental let alone heavy hitter potental is going to exceedingly difficult even for Yiggy to come by, especially in a young digital world/
Possibly, but that's thing problem with Gallentmon/Megidramon is that any mon with the potental to become one has the potental to become the other, they are two sides of the same coin.

There's several reasons for that fact. But the very biggest one? Potential. This server is still very young and in order to get a RK Yggy needs a mon that already possess Mega potential and isn't feral. Just those three criteria themselves narrow things down by a ludicrous amount. Combine those three factors with the notion that searching for candidates isn't an easy task to begin with...
There's data and personality-related factors as well, though I don't intend to spell those exactly.
Aside from obvious stuff, like finding a non-feral bug with mega potential not really helping, because it doesn't really have a route to any RK species.
The very fact that Yggdrasil is promoting a normally purge target as a Knight out of desperation is I think, pretty much demonstrating Yggdrasil changing its mind because theres literally no choice,
Yeah and how does that detract form anything I said? Thresh is/was very clearly predisposed to the Megidramon and if Yiggy wasn't desperate would be up on the list with Verg. I know Thresh has the data potential to become a Gallantmon but if he had a choices he'd pick anything but Thresh and leave Thresh under potential enemy to get rid off.
I could understand the potential argument for say Alphamon but your telling me no other mon on this whole sever has the potential to Craniummon, I don't belive you at all and your the qm of the quest for pete sake. Also at this point I figure data should be the last thing used as an excuse considering how Verg needed to be stabilised twice (and we aren't even sure who did it the first time) and yet he still got it when there are plenty of mon with more stable and solid data then Verg.
drexal15
Proud GM
That hurts a bit. And it's not that no other mon has potential for it, but that the potential candidate pool is incredibly minuscule, and finding said candidates is incredibly difficult. As for data restrictions? Think about it, mon have to be able to go down the right line to hit that royal knight, if a candidate for Craniumon evolved into something that cuts off that path? Well they're not a candidate anymore. Yes Verge's data is incredibly messed up, but that's a large part of what made him viable as a candidate in the first place. His abominable makeup is what gave him Mega potential in the first place.
Yggy could have either A waited around and continued searching for a candidate whom may never have came in contact with it, or B, grant Avalon to the horrible mutant abomination that drilled into its root. Would it have preffered waiting? Of course! Can it afford to keep waiting?
No. Not given what's coming.
Edit: As a note, finding Candidates isn't easy. Yggy isn't anything even close to Omniscient. Think about it, the Tree has Bulwark and Leopardmon actively searching for a very good reason.
