BlackTailmon quickly recovered, putting on a calm face. She had to admit she was a bit shaken, though; this was unexpected.
ôHmàperhaps youÆre right. It looks like you wonÆt go down easily.ö She said with a fake sad sigh.
Her face quickly shifted into a smirk, however.
ôBut youÆll still go down.ö
Two swords impaled the spot sheÆd been standing on, but she was already in the air. The third sword was already sailing at her, trying to take advantage of her inability to dodge.
Just as sheÆd expected.
Her tail lashed out, grabbing the railing of the above level. It twisted around it like a snake, pulling her towards it. Her feet made contact with it just in time for her to immediately leap into a dodge, this time jumping down to the lower level.
The two swords that had first attacked her were already withdrawing from the floor; she quickly had to get past them. She jumped, landing on the hilt of one and bounding to the hilt of the second a moment later. She landed on the ground past them in a run.
Her first target was the head of Knightmon. Even if his suit was apparently empty, he was still a Digimon. Logic dictated that if he wasnÆt an Undead type, he would have a Digital Core. All Digimon have two weaknesses; that is, there are two ways to kill them. Cause them enormous physical damage or destroy that Core. The second, as itÆs usually held within a DigimonÆs body, is generally only possible by accomplishing the first.
Butà
If KnightmonÆs split his body into all these pieces and these pieces are acting independently, logically, his Digital Core must be controlling them. In addition, it is almost certainly held within his body or at least a part of it, as only a few Digimon have external Cores.
The head wasnÆt necessarily the correct spot; theoretically, it could be anywhere. However, there are generally two locations that the Core is held; the chest cavity and the head. The Chest is more likely, but itÆs also more heavily armored, which only supports that itÆs a safer place to hold the Core. The head is less likelyà
But it was as good a place as any to start with. Perhaps sheÆd luck out and it was in the easier place; then she could destroy it without having to rag on that chest plate.
ôNeko Punch!ö
The fist connected hard enough to dent the armor of his forehead, as well as smashing it away from her. However, a second later, she had to back flip over two incoming arms, which put her in a position where she had to dodge to the side in order to avoid the boot that came down like a hammer from above.
She stayed focused on her target through it all.
She ran for the head again, jumping to land on the back of one of KnightmonÆs hands, using it as a spring board to flip over an incoming boot, and turning that flip into a kick, smashing it directly into KnightmonÆs head again.
ôUgh.ö The disembodied head grunted.
BlackTailmon ignored it in favor of following up with a Neko Punch-Cat Tail combo. But through it all, she wondered about something she thought was strange.
Punches and kicks are nice and good, but arenÆt swords preferable if you have them? Then where are KnightmonÆs?
She didnÆt even have a chance to look around before Knightmon began his attack.
ôElectric Slash!ö He said.
BlackTailmonÆs body was in motion by the time he finished the word æElectric.Æ
Her tail lashed out, grabbing KnightmonÆs head. She pulled it into her former position as she leapt away. She quickly bounded from the back of KnightmonÆs hand, flipped over his chest armor, and land by his shield which she quickly pulled over herself. She had to resist it as it tried to crush her the moment it realized what she was doing, but it was still a safer place then being out in the open.
From under the safety of the Shield, she saw as KnightmonÆs own head was destroyed even is the lightning blinded her.
For a moment, everything was dark, but her ears twitched as they heard something.
She rolled out from under the shield as it fell with a thunderous crash, something, or several somethingÆs, impacting it was great force.
The other pieces of KnightmonÆs armor.
Damn. It wasnÆt in his head, after all.
She blinked quickly as her sight began to return to her.
As it did, she almost wished it hadnÆt.
The data from KnightmonÆs head quickly began to swirl in the air, taking shape in seconds. A moment later, it was as good as new and her enemy was staring down at her with the calm blue eyes of a judge.
ôA valiant effort.ö Knightmon granted. ôBut no less futile. Electric Slash!ö
