Digital Mayhem

"It's okay?"

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

*It looks like shadows are circling above him till' one dives down at the two.*

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

*BlackWarGreymon barrels through AeroVeedramon's sphere with a Black Tornado and grabs AeroVeedramon by the throat and stares at him. It gets the same surprised look in its eyes that it had at the mall and lets go.*

BlackWarGreymon:<You're still alive? But that's not Dominic.>

*With the last sentence, BlackWarGreymon looks at Razz and takes off.*

Hawkmon: <Tae!>

*Hawkmon digivolves in a flash of light and grabs Tae by the collar, flying him a few meters forward before turning back to whatever is approaching.*

=====

*AeroVeedramon starts coughing and lands back down in the mall.*

Razz: <Who's Dominic?>

AeroVeedramon: <I... I don't know...?>

Razz: <...He isn't evil...>

AeroVeedramon: <I know.>

Allina: <Why did he just leave?>

Pegasusmon: <He apparently knows Veemon, and asked about some Dominic.>

Allina: <...I'm tired of fighting... I miss the others... and my parents.>

*Pegasusmon lays his head on her shoulder and she wraps her arms around his neck, sighing with her eyes closed. Razz and AeroVeedramon stare at them for a few seconds.*

Razz: <The police and the reporters will be here soon. We need to go.>

*Allina nods and they take off on their Digimon.*

E"So, what's going on?"

"Nothing."

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

*The Saberdramon that dived at them rights itself and squawks while the other dives with its claws out looking to claw either Aquilamon or Tae.*

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

*Exposition!*

E"...Oh."

T"Listen, I refuse to believe a couple rogue Digimon showed up, but now everything's fine & dandy. Something's going on here."

Salamon:<That's because something is going on.>

BlackGarurumon:<BlackAgumon did mention Digimon attacking in New York.>

Tae: <Dammit!>

*Aquilamon blasts at the one diving towards them and flies over the way, arching above it and clawing at its head before darting into the other one glowing red.*

=====

*Allina is singing a very weird country song on a small wooden stage in a karaoke bar, Razz and the Digimon are sitting around a small table drinking coke with money from a wallet some rich lady dropped when fleeing from the Meramon brothers. When she finishes, she goes to sit with them.*

Patamon: <I wanted to sing too...>

Allina: <Not gonna happen, we can't risk scaring people.>

Veemon: <It doesn't really matter though, it's a matter of seconds until another evil Digimon comes breaking in at this point.>

Allina: <Dude, you look worried. What's up?>

Razz: <...That BlackWarGreymon recognized AeroVeedramon.>

Allina: <Yeah, but we can't find him without a single clue. For as much as we know, he could have hopped his way back to his snow cottage in the digital world. He is probably knitting pink mittens by the fireplace while eating Agumon-shaped cookies and drinking hot chocolate.>

Patamon: <What?>

Allina: <It's a cute picture.>

Razz: <...We need a plan.>

Allina: <...I feel kind bad we stole the rich lady.>

Razz: <I'm sure we need the money more than she does right now.>

Patamon: <Yeah, and you can always pay her back.>

*Allina glances at Patamon and takes out the wallet, staring at it like "Implying I will ever have this much money again."*

Allina: <...Right.>

*Razz and gets up and takes the wallet, taking a couple bills before giving it back to Allina and heading to the counter.*

Allina: <Err--weird guy?>

*He looks at her over his shoulder.*

Razz: <What?>

Allina: <Me and Patamon used I think your dad's money to buy some lunch. Sorry we didn't give you guys any.>

*He just resumes walking towards the counter, smiling.*

Razz: <...Hot dog, please.>

E"Then why didn't you tell me this when I asked if something was going on in the first place?"

A<Well...I think getting to New York is out of the question. But we need some way to be able to tell whether or not the situation is all clear in & around London.>

Salamon:<"What's going on?" could apply to a number of things.>

[Of course no one would expect you to think of others.]

BlackGarurumon:<Three Tsukaimon appeared outside Euryale's house...>

Salamon:<Two Raremon further down the street and further away from there were two Tuskmon. And who knows what happened to Tae.>

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

*Saberdramon sqawks in anger and pain before firing a green arrow from its chest at Aquilamon. The other Saberdramon flies above and begins beating its wings.*

E"That's kind of my point. Also, I'm pretty sure my sister enslaved one of the Tsukaimon."

*Aquilamon lands to the right to dodge and runs towards the Saberdramon, ramming it.*

Tae: <What now!?>

Aquilamon: <I think we need help.>

Tae: <Great. Okay, we won't be finding the others any time soon, so just--you know--keep hitting them. They can't be that strong!>

Salamon:<That's lovely.>

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

*The first Saberdramon backs off while the airborne one beats its wings harder.*

Saberdramon:<Black Saber!>

*Flapping its wings it sends black flames down towards Aquilamon.*

A<...Has anyone ever thought of eating Salamon?>

T"I tried to get Betamon to bite her & she wouldn't let it go."

Tae: <Come on Aquilamon, attack!>

*He bites his lip as Aquilamon takes flight around the flames, ramming its horns into the enemy.*

[I shouldn't have left. Nor should I have lost hope, or consequently tried to forcefully show off a hopeful self just to try and activate the crest... I wasn't always this obnoxious... I don't think I was. And now we need help and we're alone.]

*Hitomi glares at both BlackAgumon and Tsune. Taiyo jumps off BlackGarurumon and crouches in front of Hitomi staring at Salamon and sniffing her.*

Salamon:<You smell.>

Taiyo:<You smell.>

*Hitomi stares at the two in confusion while they growl at each other. Taiyo stops and licks Salamon's nose, stumbling back with a "Bleh!" Salamon wipes her nose off on her paws.*

Taiyo:<You taste funny, Sallymon!>

Salamon:<Stupid, don't lick my nose.>

*From some bushes and trees behind the bench Hitomi is sitting on, rustling can be heard.*

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

*Saberdramon squawks and hits Aquilamon with its wings. The other Saberdramon fires another green arrow from its chest at Aquilamon.*

*Aquilamon's thrown back by the wings and flies upward just in time to dodge the arrow, clawing down upon the shooter.*

Tae: <Aquilamon!>

Aquilamon: <Tae?>

Tae: <I'm sorry for being... stupid?>

Aquilamon: <But you-->

Tae: <This time for real, if we don't kick their behinds I'm banning us out of every pizzeria in the world, especially because I know we can do it.>

Aquilamon: <This will be quick. And afterwards we can meet back with the others and go for-->

Tae: <Focus!>

*Black Agumon glares back at Hitomi.*

A<What? Don't look at me! Euryale's sister likes her, that's something, isn't it?>

T"I just said, 'bite.' He's the one who upped the ante."

*She points at Black Agumon, who points a claw back at her.*

A<Traitor!>

T"We were never allies. Well...I mean, we ARE allies, but against Millenniummon, not...in the sense that we always have to...you know what? It's just easier to call you stupid."

*The rustling stops and a cloud of pollen is shot out, putting everyone into a sneezing fit. Two flower monsters slither out of the trees.*

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

*Saberdramon squawks as the arrow hits it and falls to the streets. The other one dodges by taking flight while the grounded one struggles to get up.*

*Aquilamon takes the chance to charge down into the struggling Saberdramon and fire a stream of laser rings at its head.*

Tae: <They don't even look that tough. Though their faces do creep the hell out of me.>

*Betamon blasts one with a water stream, Black Agumon the other with a Pepper Breath.*

*The Blossomon don't even acknowledge the attacks. One swings its vines, and the petals from a flower fly off towards BlackAgumon like shuriken, new petals taking their place. Hitomi and Salamon jump off the bench as the other Blossomon barrels through it, throwing petal shuriken at Betamon. BlackGarurumon tackles the Blossomon that barreled through the bench blasting it with Fox Fire, but it soon tangled in its vines.*

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

*Saberdramon rears up, its shadow racing towards Aquilamon as it explodes into data.*

Saberdramon:<Black Saber!>

*The remaining Saberdramon rains black fire down on Aquilamon.*

*The 2 Digimon digivolve to Ultimate level & renew their attacks with ice spikes & missiles.*

*Aquilamon darts upwards around the attack and rams the enemy.*

*The shockwave from the missiles explosion blows everyone away while the initial explosion reduces a large portion of the area they're in to a crater where the two now dazed Blossomon and a barely moving BlackGabumon reside. Why no one's dead or suffering from several internal injuries is a mystery only I can solve. Taiyo staggers and runs off sliding down the side of the crater.*

Salamon:<Argh... Stupid!>

*Salamon digivolves to ultimate and flies down the crater firing an arrow at one of the Blossomon.*

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

*Tae hears an explosion and can see smoke rising from somewhere in the southwest. Saberdramon squawks and claws at Aquilamon.*

*Aquilamon absorbs the data and counter claws at the enemy.*

Tae: <Ya know what they say, where there's smoke...>

Aquilamon: <...There's Euryale.>
