Digital Mayhem

Tae: <...I don't blame them. I'm the only guy in the group and I can't really help them because I'm apparently "a hopeless child".>

*He sighs again and glances at her.*

Tae: <(I wasn't like this in the beginning.)>

=====

*MagnaAngemon slashes it in two and bats them back towards the Hyogamon along with a light blade. AeroVeedramon creates a storm of wind blades around the other Hyogamon.*

[Is she going to do it or not?]

*Taiyo shakes her head like "Come dump that ice water on my willing and exposed head. You know you want to."*

=====================================================

"You helped me..."

=====================================================

*Hyogamon blocks with its club till' the light blade cuts it in half. Unamred it proceeds to throw more icicles at MagnaAngemon. Hyogamon swings its club around trying to dispel the storm. Its club goes flying from its hands and out of the storm it goes.*

*Tae stares at her, widening his eyes.*

Tae: <W-What...?>

=====

*MagnaAngemon defletcs the icicles with his shield before darting down and slashing at Hyogamon across the neck. AeroVeedramon shoots a blue fireball at the club before firing an enermy beam into the storm.*

*Medusa suddenly jerks her arms, but just laughs when Taiyo flinches.*

"Well, are you going to do it or not?"

=====================================================

"At... At the castle. Helping one person is a start, right?"

=====================================================

*Hyogamon shouts and punches MagnaAngemon in the face. The other Hyogamon hurls an icicle to intercept the beam, but it gets caught in the storm and flung out.*

<Why, do you want me to?>

Tae: <Hitomi...>

*He smiles, using his arms to drag himself closer to her.*

Tae: <(I'm going to hug you now. I hope that's okay.)>

*And so he stretches his arms around her torso and hugs her tightly.*

=====

*MagnaAngemon's hurled back by the blow. He stands up and spreads his wings, sending golden glowing feathers flying towards Hyogamon like sharp knives. AeroVeedramon rockets towards Hyogamon and dispels the storm just in time to ram it through with his arm blades.*

"You went and got it. If you were trying to scare me, it didn't work."

[There's no way she'll believe that.]

=====================================================

[I feel strange. I feel... warm. Please don't let go.]

*Hitomi lays her head on his shoulder smiling.*

=====================================================

*Hyogamon covers its face with its arms and shouts as the feathers rip through it. Data pouring out through various wounds on its body. The other Hyogamon shouts, an icicle forming in its hand which it uses to stab at AeroVeedramon.*

*He doesn't let go, laying his head on hers gently.*

Tae: <(T-Thank you.)>

=====

Allina: <Remember to finish them at the same time!>

*AeroVeedramon cross slices the icicle in four with its arm blades and flies backward, sending a wind flying towards Hyogamon. MagnaAngemon flies upward and sends a light blade towards the same Hyogamon AeroVeedramon is attacking.*

Medusa<I don't have to scare you. If I want, I can just order you out of the house.>

"Then why didn't you do that in the first place?"

*Without waiting for an answer, she walks out, BlackGabumon slowly following behind. Without looking at Tae and Hitomi, she sets off in the opposite direction she went the first time around.*

=====================================================

"You're wel-welcome..."

[What did I do?]

*Hitomi moves her head away from Tae's and watches as Taiyo leaves.*

=====================================================

*The Hyogamon explodes into data which begins to drift towards the other.*

*The others start to follow Taiyo.*

<Hey! Mom'll be home soon. She wants to see you.>

T"Don't worry, we'll call you if we need you."

E"Thanks."

*Tsune & Betamon leave to follow Taiyo.*

*He stares at Taiyo as well.*

Tae: <(What happened?)>

=====

MagnaAngemon: <Not so fast!>

*MagnaAngemon showers Hyogamon with golden feathers and AeroVeedramon shoots a beam at it. They absorb the drifting data.*

*Despite having gone a different route, the two end up at the same playground Taiyo went to before. Rather than sitting on a swing, the two sit under a tree.*

[Stupid Euryale, stupid Medusa, stupid London, stupid everything!]

=====================================================

*While following the two, they find Euryale's shirt that Taiyo was wearing hanging on a fence.*

=====================================================

"I don't know."

[Should we follow them? I don't want him to let go, but Taiyo...]

=====================================================

*The remaining Hyogamon shouts and explodes into data. By now they a lot of orange as the sun begins to go down.*

*He slowly stands up and holds his hand out to help her, smiling.*

Tae: <...C-Come on.>

=====

Allina: <Almost a whole day and we've made no progress whatsoever in finding the others.>

*They absorb the data.*

Razz: <Even if we find a way to get to England, Portugal, Japan or even other parts of the United States, how would we find them?>

Allina: <Right... Well, there's gotta be a way! They could be in danger, what with the evil Digimon wreaking havoc and all.>

T"Oh, great. Now she's naked."

BlackGabumon:<Please think about this...>

"I did and I'm not going back. I'm not putting up with her sister's abuse while she just stands there and lets it happen."

[Why did I come back here? It'll be the first place someone will look...]

"I always thought she took crap from no one. Instead she lets others take it."

=====================================================

*Seeing as there isn't anywhere else to go, it would probably be a good idea to go to the same place she went last time Taiyo stormed out.*

=====================================================

*She looks at him and reaches out to take his hand. She hesitates for a moment before taking it.*

"What... What are we going to do?"

Tae: <You... You want to go and find Taiyo, right?>

"Yes..."

[I'm not sure why though.]

Tae: <Okay then, let's go!>

*He gently pulls her up.*

*Following Taiyo, the adorably awkward couple (and I assume their partners) meet up with Tsune who's apparently standing around holding a shirt.*

Salamon:<How fairs the hunt?>

"I am NOT tracking her down if she's not wearing a shirt."

Tae: <I am. I mean... sh-she's obviously upset. So... let's go.>

*Tsune raises her eyebrow.*

"So eager...& here I thought you might swing the other way."

*Hitomi looks at Tae then Tsune.

Salamon:<Her lack of a shirt isn't out of the ordinary. And YOU'RE probably the only one who'd know where she went.>
