Jungle Madness [private/mod]

[persiamon]

Persiamon as was typical, was not too happy when one of her servants had come to her, with the alert that there was a digimon reaping havoc in her precious jungle home. Like... Really? What was even the point? All it did was cause her adoring subjects misery and they were going to get their tails handed to them anyways. If they wanted the fight, could they not just make their way to her coliseum like a good little digimon?

Unfortunately it seemed the digital world was full of stupid digimon, and it was up to her to keep her jungle all nice and digimon friendly. The job was an unfortunate side effect of being the Jungle Maze's Area Lord, but what you do? Persiamon jumped nimbly through the trees. She was approaching the spot her servant had alerted her too. She only had to eliminate the digimon, and she could get back to the coliseum.

Yes, yes, a random brute burning and pillaging through a Lord's domain... How so very convenient. Little did Persiamon know that all this rampage and destruction was made for a particular reason - and that reason was ... luring her here, actually. And what can irritate a good Lord who cares about her subjects than a wanton slaughter of said subjects?

And, of course, there was more to reason as to why would anyone want to fight an area Lord, than sheer blood-lust. That was good enough of a reason on it's own, but that was not the only one. The main purpose of the following confrontation would decide who will take over this domain, or if will the Lord be able to keep it. And Arukenimon doubted the latter, otherwise she would have never came around in the first place, never entangling herself in a fight she can't win.

Finally, the Persiamon arrived at the place Arukenimon prepared for her arrival. It took her long enough. From the outside the clearing, which had fewer trees on it than the rest of the jungle, looked like a nice place, nothing special. Once inside however, it was completely different. Web upon web of razor-sharp threads surrounded the place which would become the battlefield, and ominous clouds blocked the sunlight, as if they were foreshadowing the sinister events that were about to happen here.

- There you are, my pretty... Welcome to my little residence, so to speak... - a laughing, mocking voice was heard from ... somewhere. It was hard enough to figure where from exactly. The creature showed itself soon enough however, stepping out from the shadow. It was a giant woman-spider, the kind one shouldn't trust under any circumstance, in fact, the one anyone should run away from. She moved on her 8 legs gracefully, but there was a certain pinch of ... deadliness to her every movement.

- I am sorry I had to ... say, catch a few of your subjects in my webs, so to speak, but that was only to attract your attention, deary. It is impossible to get an appointment these days... - she said an apology, but, due to incredible amount of mockery in her voice, it was so obvious of a lie even mentally ill won't believe it. Still, the spider-lady waited for an answer...

[persiamon]

Persiamon soon discovered a giant spider nest. Webs everywhere, draping over the trees and in general making a mess of the place. She slashed through the webs blocking her way, her claws ripping the thread like scissors slicing through paper. A simple flick sent what webs that clung to her claws flying away from her as she continued on her way. She paused as she heard a voice calling out to her. Ears pricked to the source of the sound, and soon enough, an Arukenimon appeared.

Persiamon stood crouched on her branch, watching with what could only be interpreted as a bored look in her eyes. She gave a quick snort of laughter at the Arukenimon. "So that's your excuse for being unable to get through the maze?" She purred, her tone quite condescending. "Not a very original, but I guess I should give you a break. You obviously aren't too big on brains." The area lord let out a giggle, looking down at the Arukenimon with a look a child might give to an amusing toy. That was all this digimon was to her. A play thing to bat around senselessly until she got bored and squashed it.

The Area lord stood on her perch a moment longer, tails swing back and forth lazily, as if hesitating. For a moment it looked like she wasn't about to do anything. Then she suddenly leaped forward, and began moving around the Arukenimon, with an odd marquee effect following her as she danced around the spider. The movement was intoxicating, and more importantly, confusing. It was her hetler skelter attack. Didn't do any damage, but it would likely confuse her enough to prevent her from attacking and making striking her first actual attack considerably easier. Plus there was the off chance of dedigivolving her right down to rookie level, but that effect was so rare it was a surprise whenever it happened.

Arukenimon smiled upon hearing Persiamon's petty insults. Why, calling one of the most cunning digimon stupid, this was so blunt of an attempt to make her furious even mentally ill would have figured that out. The area Lord, obviously, wasn't too keen with making elaborate insults. Oh well, not that the spider lady cared anyway.

- And I guess manners are among many virtues you don't seem to possess. Well, we can't all be above level of a slime, unfortunately. - she sighed out as the cat descended to the ground, making weird movements. At first the spider lady didn't really understand what she was doing, dancing? But then, when the image of the Lord became shifting left and right a little, she figured it out. Some sort of a confusion move, surely. Ought to work on weak-willed or dumb. Arukenimon was neither, and shook off confusion quickly enough.

- Sorry honey, I'm not quite into dancing, but I do like knitting. Wanna see? - she sounded annoyed, before suddenly launching a barrage of steel spider thread attacks at her, and above and below, at all directions, so that the cat would have trouble escaping it. The spider expected she'd survive the attack, but this was made to test her a little first.

[persiamon]

Unfortunately, her attack had failed. Nuts. But Persiamon cared little for the Arukenimon's remarks, only stifling a short laugh at being called scum. Really? She, the graceful feline queen of the jungle, scum to this psycho circus clown reject? Oh the fools sure knew how to talk big, but the area lord could only wonder when she'd find one who'd say something that they could actually back up. She however, decided to just get into the battle. If she rolled her eyes anymore from this bug's mindless prattle, they might just get stuck like that.

Then came the spider webs. Such an obvious attack from a spider. Of couse, she fired them all above down, and around her, but the attack wasn't inescapable. Persiamon took her only opening, leaping backward into a backflip, landing on her paws and pushing herself out of the range of the attack. Sure, such a widely aimed attack did have it's advantages, giving a target little in ways of moving, but such a wide attack also had limited range. Those aimed below her hit the ground, while the rest flew further around her and landed on the surrounding trees.

Persiamon then jumped back further, into the bushes, moving around the Arukenimon and out of her sight. She then moved just behind them, circling the area quietly until she was in a new position. She then burst through the bushes, claws raised as she leaped towards the Arukenimon and aimed her persian claw attack on the arachnid.

The Persiamon escaped the area attack Arukenimon threw at her. This was expected, as one would not become an area lord by chance or luck. So she was incredibly agile, the spider gave her that. All felines possessed that virtue to some degree, though persiamon was an adept, making it through a tiniest gap in her net. Oh well, it was not like she couldn't do more.

Before she could go for another attack, however, the cat disappeared in the bushes. How predictable - using sneaky tactics to attack from behind. Standard one, for sure. - Playing hide and seek, are we? Alright, I'll be "it". - the arukenimon said, acting as if she doesn't expect an attack from behind. But there was one more thing...

The entire area was covered with her steel threads, which would make sound even if bothered by the slightest wind. And Persiamon's moves, though graceful and quiet, were not completely soundless... The clanking of the web made Arukenimon aware of the incoming attack. - Yeah, like I wouldn't be expecting that... Say hello to my little friends! - she hissed, suddenly turning around and launching a miriad of carnivorous dokugumon hidden in her abdomen, at the incoming digimon...

[persiamon]

The Arukenimon was no pushover that was sure, but it still didn't keep up with the area lord. She may look like she was in it all for fun and games, but that didn't stop her from being a formidable opponent. As the spiders came at Persiamon, she batted most of them away, a few of them got through and managed to bite down on her, but they didn't last too long. "Are those all the toys you got?" She purred.

Once again, Persiamon began dancing, swaying back and forth using her helter skelter attack. She may have messed up the first time, but that wouldn't be happening a second time. She'd get that arachnid confused and strike a critical blow when she couldn't defend herself.

- How dare you harm my pretties? How dare you! - the arukenimon exclaimed in anger as the persiamon swatted her babies away. This was enraging, the damn feline actually fought back. The Arukenimon hated when people resisted her, and this area lord was just being annoying. The spider would so very much like to catch her in her webs, and devour her data, slowly. But she'd come up to that.

- Ah, you and your dancing again! I told you, NOT INTERESTED. - the spider kinda figured the dancing was hypnotizing and all, but perhaps chose not a most effective way of defending against it. She turned away not to see it, thus effectively losing sight of the feline, and swatted with her giant claws at the persiamon, aiming to hit her to make her stop dancing. But, since she was technically attacking blind, she couldn't have been too accurate...
