[Hmm... I wanna saaaaay roll Computers with a threshold of 17, but a -5 penalty.]

[Rolling= 6,5,4 + 9- 5 = 19]

Sweating bullets, Alemana wrangled to strike at a moving target on a program he had only now started to get the hang of. Speed kept him ahead of the dragon, the road racing around it from behind to sucker punch its armored jawline! Through the monitor, Al's digivice pulled up an image of the foe in all its fell glory.

//Lavogaritamon
++//Level: Ultimate
++//Type: Rock Dragon
++//Attribute: Virus
++//Family: Dragon's Roar
++//Attacks: Caldera Corona, Melding Blaze, Pyroclasm, Wild Blast

“Well that’s a damn mouthful!” He grumbled as he then looked at Kahunimon (“ Okay Let’s smack this thing back where it came from!”)

And she would growl with him .. her posture growing more aggressive. ”Kapua Aspect!”

She then launched forward  ”Pele Punch!”

[Rolling= 3,2,6,6,6,4,6,6,5,6,5,1,1,1,1,3,3,6,3,6 = 10 suxx]

[Dodge with -2: ...1 3 6 6 6, ...4 2 2 1 1, ...5 2 1 3 6 = 5 suxx, ...6 6 2 = 7 suxx total = Hits = [(DMG +3 +4) - (14-2)] = 12 DMG. Burn has no effect.]

As the power of her Aspect burned away the fog in her mind, Kahunimon's wrath ignited behind her fist as blue flame. She made no effort to hide her target, aiming straight for where the road had slammed into Lavagaritamon's face. The sheer strength behind her attack as it hammered into the wounded jawline - *CRACK!* went the air as a jagged fissure split open across the dragon's maw, a wailing roar bellowing forth soon after. Kahunimon felt her enemy's resistance give way to her fist; her ears rang with its deafening cry. A moment, and she felt the rush of wind as the dragon ceased flying, the fire beneath its scales dimming as both of them plummeted towards the node below.

(“Don’t destroy it, babe!”)

She would then turn, her tail flicking forward ”Sunfire Lei!” she snarled out, a stream of gold light surging towards the dragon.

[Rolling: 3,6,6,5,4,2,6,2,3,5,5,4,2,6,2,5,6,2,3,2,2= 9 suxx_]

[Lavagaritamon's fuckin' knocked out, he ain't dodging. For a point of Inspiration, describe what Kahunimon does with her tail -- bear in mind, neither she nor derg are slowing down as terminal velocity begins taking effect.]

The Kahuna dancer smiled almost demurely at the lava dragon as she spun.. spun.. and spun as she then released it, sending the Digimon rocketing into the street as she then enveloped herself into a dense sphere of water to cushion her impact as she was sent flying towards another section of the road.

[Aight, gain an Inspiration.]

The sheer size of the dragon did nothing to the momentum of Kahunimon's swing - though upon crashing into the living road, a second glance was needed. The fall of the two digimon were complete opposites. One enveloped in water that bounced on impact with the road. The other, destroying the entire section it had been slammed into. Lavogaritamon once more began to fall, only to land a short distance atop another segment of road, hanging there like a rag on a clothesline.

("They'll be fine,") thought Kahunimon, the dancer popping her bubble as she landed a second time. ("The node seems to be keeping parts of the road afloat even if they're broken.")

The dragon released a dull moan.

("Yeah, they're fine.")

Al winced as the dragon smashed through the road, and would sigh. (“Okay good.. let’s finish locking the Node down and then ask this dragon boy what the hell is going on, and who sent it.”) he said as he returned his attention to the holoscreen.

Able to concentrate without fear of bombardment, Alemana finalized the node's security measures. Heat pulsed from the teen's digivice, spreading out and over the holoscreens, which flickered with static before - One by one - they were overlaid with the sigil for Kumon's Ki'i.

"++Access node stabilized++" said a synthesized voice. "++Security level one engaged. All runtimes will be redirected to defragmentation and reassembly++"

"Wonder what form security around here will take," thought Kahunimon aloud, the dancer crouching beside Al as she read off the screen. "It's the first time we've ever taken a node pre-admin."

Al would sigh in relief, and then slump into Kahunimon’s knee before looking up at her “I dunno.. but I’m sure we’ll figure it out sooner or later. But what I wanna know right now..” his eyes glanced in the direction of the downed dragon.

“Is who Lavogaritamon is working for, if it’s working for anyone.”

The dragon continued to emit a low groan, having been lowered to the ground by the living road. Ribbons of smoke fumed from the digimon's nostrils, yet little more than an inch did its body move at any given time.

Suddenly, Al's digivice vibrated. Kelani's name was all over the screen.

"++Al?++" she said, on taking her call. "++Al, the INAS just fizzled out. You still in the node?++"

The sudden call almost made Al jump, but he would answer without delay.

“Hey, we’re okay! Yes we are.. we just locked everything down. Would you be willing to come in here? We have a… guest.”

"++Guest?++" she echoed. "++Is it another friend from Waihona?++"

"Not exactly," said Kahunimon. "We're still figuring out the details."

"++Well okay then, I'll be right over with Gammy++"

...

"Geez, look at the size of that thing." said Keilani, the astronomer staring out at the distant dragon as Gammamon frolicked through the surrounding devastation. "And you actually beat it up with an elastic road?"

Kahunimon shrugged. "More or less."
