Erio did his best to force a rather defeated look on his face as he was suddenly dragged into the barracks by a Dark Area Tamer. Note, this was being dragged by his HAIR.

But LOOKING defeated wasn't necessarily the easiest thing for him, after everything he'd learned during his time at Section Six. However, defiance was often swiftly expected to be punished... so he did his best to play along for the moment. Elecmon, on the other hand, was being held up by the scruff of his neck by the same Tamer.

The young man gave a shout as he was unceremoniously dumped at Caro's feet. Elecmon soon followed, landing on Erio's back.

"You're lucky none of the higher ups caught you sneaking around after curfew!" the Tamer barked. "For what it's worth, I should have your head for that!"

A kick was thrown into Erio's gut, the force of which sent Elecmon flying off him, for good measure.

"You're just lucky I'm lenient!"

Erio gave a somewhat violent cough. That much, at least, wasn't acting... but again, he put up with it. He had to play along...

As Caro clung to Erio, guards surrounded them, and a demonic-looking fairy descended from above them in the air.

"Well well well," said Lien-da, the overseer of the camp and the commander of the Dark Army. "What do we have here. A couple of Tamers who decided to forsake our hospitality... How did you get this far, I wonder?"

She grinned darkly. "Oh yes. I know... there's a TRAITOR among us."

She lashed out with her whip, wrapping it around the neck of a prisoner amongst the guards and yanked him to the ground. This was the Tamer that had helped Erio and Caro with their devices.

"Just for that?" said Lien-da. "You get to watch him die."

[strada_knight]

Erio's eyes narrowed, and he pushed Caro lightly away from him.

"No."

{Sonic Move.} a monotone, robotic voice suddenly echoed from Strada, and Erio...

Vanished.

In the next few seconds that followed, if someone had especially good perception and eyesight, they might be able to pick up a yellow blur bouncing between guards before there was a sudden - rather rough - tug on Lien-Da's whip.

And her prisoner was gone.

While Erio was back beside Caro, a cloud of dust rising up where he had skid to a halt, and small trench in the ground leading up to where he'd done so. He was holding the man that Lien-Da had just snared, and released him.

"No one's dying here."

Lien-da's eyes widened... and then narrowed when she saw what Erio had done.

"That's where you're wrong," she said. "Everyone... attack!"

On her command, her troops' partners let their attacks, sending a barrage of fireballs and various other offenses straight at them.

Caro's eyes widened. Not at the onslaught that was being fired against them, but... at the fact that Fried had moved to intercept them.

Time seemed to freeze for the girl. Fried was her companion... her trusted friend. And he had been bound in this form... a form he could not escape from, because she had been brought into this world. And her magic was useless to help him.

And then... it all seemed to accelerate, as she shrieked her partner's name.

"FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIED!"

Just before it seemed her dragon was doomed, though... his body radiated with light. Light so strong that it forced Caro to close her eyes.

When it dimmed... Fried was still there, stumbling back from the multiple attacks.

But he wasn't particularly harmed... and he wasn't as he had been a moment ago.

He was now the size of a very large, blue winged dragon.

[strada_knight]

Erio's eyes widened, taking a step back. He raised his wrist, preparing to activate his Barrier Jacket - all while trying to figure out how he could possibly protect everyone ELSE in addition to himself...

When Elecmon jumped before him, electricity sparking along his tail, growling. He had failed once, already. He had allowed his Tamer to be captured, be forced where he was for days, weeks.

He had failed to be strong enough before... but he wouldn't just stand by and let it happen again.

"I will not... absolutely will not allow this to happen ever again!" he exclaimed.

Erio's determination hadn't been an issue up until this point. Elecmon, on the other hand, had been another matter entirely. But as the Digimon made his proclamation, Erio found his OTHER device - his D-Comm - shining along with his partner.

"Elecmon, evolve!"

The glow faded, and ...

In his place, was now a tall, very angry looking RED dragon. Spikes on his arms snapped out like blades, electricity surging from them, which he used to swat away several incoming

[dragnsoulsummon]

Caro stared... and gaped at what Elecmon and Fried had both become. With a familiar roar, Fried spread his wings and launched himself into the mass of guards, raining down blue fire upon their foes.

She... she could still help her dragon...

Narrowing her eyes, the device on her wrist glistened, as she cried out...

"Kerykeion! SET UP!"

"STAND BY.

One quick transformation later, Caro had assumed her barrier jacket, with a cape, a different outfit, a hat, and her device installed as two bejeweled gloves worn upon each of her hands.

"FRIED!" she called out, as her D-Comm flashed the dragon's statistics. "BLUE FLARE BREATH!"

Fried roared, and let loose a massive burst of blue fire, causing a number of guards and their partners to scatter.

[strada_knight]

"STRADA!" Erio shouted, following her lead and thrusting out the arm on which the watch-like Device was strapped. "SET UP!"

{Stand By}

Power surged around him, as his own Barrier Jacket was created. A long jacket, metal boots, gloves, shorts, and shirt formed around him, while Strada became a large, blue and white spear.

He spun the weapon around, electricity surging around its tip.

"We're not simply a couple of children that can be pushed around," Erio growled to Lien-Da. "If we let you do that... we'd be betraying everything Fate-san and Nanoha-san taught us!"

Growmon, meanwhile, reared back his head. Flames gathered in his mouth before being launched from it with a great level of force. "EXHAUST FLAME!" he screamed, his attack joining in with Fried's.

[legionary_pride]

As her soldiers ran from the newly evolved Adults' attacks, Lien-da just sneered.

"You people call yourselves the elite tamers of the Dark Area forces?!" she growled. "I'll show you what a real soldier is capable of!"

With a faint glow emanating from her back, Lien-da lashed forward with her whip. It swung forward, nearly lashing Caro across the face.

Meanwhile, a black aura surrounded Drudemon... and she cackled madly, surging forward and striking Fried across the snout with Dark Kick, before flying on and attempting to strike Growmon with the same attack.

[strada_knight]

"CARO!" Erio shouted, leaping across the distance between himself and Lien-Da, raising Strada above his head.

{Explosion!}

The Device cocked its cartridge chamber, ejecting used shells as power surged to the blade, glowing brightly with electrical power before he swung down.

Growmon, meanwhile, threw his arms up to defend himself... but still found himself being flung back by Drudemon's attack, though he managed to stay on his feet.

[legionary_pride]

Lien-da narrowed her eyes, and in a flash of light, she realized a Taki-no-jin from her D-Reader, using it to block Strada... but given the magical enhancement, it was hard for her to hold him back...

Drudemon cackled more insanely, and manifested her demonic familiar, which she sent flying after Growmon...
