*Whoosh*
"Ya ready to hunt yet?!"
Sparks teleports into the gym during your morning exercises, making *Boy* yelp in surprise and flinch out of his kata. You calmly finish the last muscle-rending set of squats, then nod to the Wisemon.
"Aye, but I didn't expect your presence this early."
"Heh well, I've been waitin' a while for this." He replies, the usual grin plastered across his face. "Finally get to use the little pest I've got stored away."
Pest?...
"You're referring to that Gigadramon as a pest?" You inquire baffedly. "A mon you claim was of similar power to DinoBeemon?"
"Yep, hehe, oh... wow." His mirror-like eyes widen in sudden comprehension. "We've gotten a lot stronger, haven't we?"
"Aye."
"Uh, sorry for interrupting, but…" Your student chimes in tentatively. "But are we going right now?"
"No/Yes." Sparks blinks at you, a gesture which is swiftly returned.
"For a hunt we need to pick up the supplies I've requested and rendezvous with the assembled team."
"Tch spoilsport." Your friend scoffs. "Or we can head to the trainin' room and fight it out there. No need for borin' treks and sufferin' through the cold."
"That… would not be a hunt."
"Eh. Same difference."
What?
"I do not understand what that's supposed to mean."
"W-wait! Master Sparks!" The heavily muscled Aegiomon pipes up nervously. "You're not going to make me fight it by myself?... right?"
"Pfft, don't be ridiculous." Sparks snorts dismissively, making your student slump in relief.
"Thanks the spirits-"
"Xia's gonna be helpin' you!"
"... I like sensei's idea better."
"H-hey! Friggen' traitor!"
"A proper team would be wise." You agree, turning away from the Wisemon. "Student, do you have any other suggestions?"
"Hrm, maybe ExVeemon? We've gotten to know each other better recently..." He trails off into a wince. "And Xia."
"Hah!" The sorcerer cackles, pointing a mechanical finger at your face. "In your face Verge!" You ignore his gloating, and focus on the potential battle ahead.
I'm not sure she's well equipped to battle a more powerful monstrous digimon… however mayhaps the training from Groundramon will-
"Hold on a minute! Am I doing the hunting or uh… just fighting it with the others helping?" *Boy* interrupts. "I-uh. I'm fine with either one but… sorry, just curious."
Hrm, a good question.
