Digital Mayhem

"Don't take this the wrong way, but I know he can hold his own. Now strike!"

BlackGabumon:<I can't! >

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

*Aurumon fires a laser point blank at Patamon. Ignoring Quetzalmon, they chase after Aquilamon & AeroVeedramon.*

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

*As the television would show, nothing's happening. The sounds of doors opening and closing get closer.*

"You've got one more chance to beat me like a Southern Baptist before I turn this into a sparring session."

*She holds her arms up, curling her fists.*
========================================
*Quetzalmon snipes one of them with ice spikes.*

*Aquilamon speeds up towards the manor, AeroVeedramon flying in front of the Aurumon and spraying them with blue flames.*

=====

Allina: <(Dammit, only he can control them.)>

*She puts it back and peeks outside.*

*BlackGabumon takes a few steps back.*

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

*Another Aururmon drops and dissolves. Outside a window, Aquilamon and her passengers see nothing but empty hallway.*

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

*She sees Floramon & Mushroomon standing outside a room that Puppetmon is yelling from.*

Puppetmon:<Where is she?!>

Floramon:<We don't know. She went in a different direction than us.>

Puppetmon:<Liar!>

Mushroomon:<We're not lying, we promise.>

*Quetzalmon makes a break for the window.*
======================================
"This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you, if all goes according to plan."

*Euryale takes a step forward & kicks at his side.*

[Uh oh... I need to do something...]

*She grabs the dolls and goes back to hiding behind the door, thinking of what to do.*

=====

Tae: <Cover your head!>

*Aquilamon rams through the window.*

*BlackGabumon stumbles and falls backwards.*

BlackGabumon:<Cut it out!>

*He back away leaving trail of ice behind him.*

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

*Aquilamon breaks the window, frame and all. It's a painful experience, but they're inside.*

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

*She hears a gun cocking then fire followed by another shot. Everything goes quiet except for discharged shells clattering on the floor.*

"Come on, stand your ground!"

*Being taller & with a longer stride, she just fucking jumps over him & his ice trail, turning around to sweep his legs.*

*AeroVeedramon slide digivolves to Magnamon midair and grabs Razz before heading through the window as well. Tae gets off of Aquilamon and looks around while holding his hand out to help Hitomi.*

=====

*Allina widens her eyes and lets out a shriek before dropping half of the dolls to cover her mouth. She slowly peeks outside.*

BlackGabumon:<I said stop!>

*He exhales a stream of blue fire at her.*

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

*Picking up Salamon, Hitomi takes his hand and gets off. The Aurumon outside continue firing at them.*

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

*Footsteps rapidly approach the room. The television flickers to show Puppetmon is right outside the room.*

*She rolls to the side.*

"Don't rely on your breath attacks, you'll want something that can restrain without causing permanent damage."

*With that, she tackles him.*
=======================================
*Flying through the hallway, Quetzalmon generally gives no fuck, & probably pees on the carpet. Tsune checks for Allina's signal.*

*Allina starts shaking and clenches her curls her fingers in fists, dropping most other dolls except for two random ones she manages to stick in her pockets, Hitomi's and Razz's.*

=====

*Magnamon flies back outside and starts punching and kicking the life out of the Aurumon. Tae raises a thumb to Quetzalmon.*

Tae: <Let's find Allina, guys.>

BlackGabumon:<I'm not trying to hurt you or anything!>

*He continues backing the hell away, leaving a trail of ice.*

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

*The signal shows she's on the other side of the bottom floor, opposite side of them. The Aurumon continue their attack, not being very successful.*

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

*Puppetmon kicks open the door, hitting her.*

Ogremon:<Overlord Fist!>

*She hears the gun go off and then what sounds like something hard and metal hitting the floor.*

*Being on all fours, she crab walks over the ice, without touching it.*

"I don't want to hurt you either, but you have to fight back! What are you going to do if I end up possessed?"
=========================================
<FUCK THIS FASCIST FLOOR!>

*Tsune hurriedly jumps off before some asshole digivolves to Mega & rams the floor with his head, also firing off a Lightning Javelin.*

*She raises her arms in front of her head as the door's slammed into her. Then peeks through the gap between the door and wall.*

=====

*Tae stumbles back, pulling Hitomi and Hawkmon, since Betamon's apparently trying to hurt them all.*

Tae: <Do you at least see Allina down there?>

BlackGabumon::<I'll fight then!>

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

*He sees a box. Also his head is stuck.*

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

*She sees a vaguely familiar humanoid lion swinging a sword at Puppetmon with an unfamiliar Ogre-looking Digimon waving bone club around, but is overall not as involved in the fight as Panjyamon. Zarek comes running in looks around, then behind the door.*

Zarek:<Fancy meeting you hear. What's that you got there?>

*She shrieks and slaps him, then widens her eyes, smiles, and hugs him.*

Allina: <'Tardman! I've never been so happy to see you!>

*She takes a step back and takes out the Hitomi and Razz dolls.*

Allina: <Puppetmon's been using these to control the others.>

*MegaSeadramon uses Icy Coils, pushint further into the floor.*
=========================================
*Having gotten right up to Black Gabumon, she grabs him by the shoulders.*

"Then do it!"

*BlackGabumon wiggles away, growling at her.*

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

*All the noise he's been making attracts the attention of an ExTyrannomon that marches out of a nearby room. For whatever reason, Razz raises his right arm above his head.*

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

*Zarek squirms free and takes the Razz doll from her.*

Zarek:<They mentioned something about him controlling them.>

*He raises one of the dolls arms.*

Allina: <Did not think of trying that. I hope I didn't kill them all when I dropped them.>

*She picks up the Tsune doll and wraps the Hitomi doll's arms around her.*

Allina: <Look, look, they're so cute! ... Goddamnit, you're making me play with dolls while your friends are dying against Puppetmon out there.>

=====

*Tae looks at Razz and frowns slightly.*

Tae: <Yes?>

Razz: <It's not me.>

Tae: <What.>

Razz: <Someone made me raise my arm.>

Tae: <Does that mean Puppetmon knows we're here?>

"Please let go of me."

*MegaSeadramon continues trying to break through the floor.*
===========================================
*Euryale keeps a firm grip.*

"Good, good, now go for the kill! ...Metaphorically, I mean. Also, I'm sorry about this."

*She head-butts him in the stomach.*

*BlackGabumon slumps over clutching his stomach.*

BlackGabumon:<Please...stop.>

*Taiyo begins to stir.*

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

"I'd like to, but that's not possible at the moment."

*ExTyrannomon fires a black orb from its mouth at MegaSeadramon. Hitomi lets go of Tsune and backs away. Razz's arm is still above his head.*

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

*Zarek takes the Hitomi doll.*

Zarek:<Don't do that. It's bad enough something unfortunate already happened because of these.>

*Euryale lets go & stands up, looking mighty mad.*

"What if I was really under control that whole time, & only pretending to be trying to help you? I could have snapped your neck, & then who would be there to protect Taiyo from me & Agu? Did you ever even once think about that?"

*Turning from him, she heads over to Taiyo, rubbing her stomach.*

"Are you okay, my little Kitty Cat?"

*Razz frowns and squints while making a huge effort to articulate a word.*

Tae: <... Are you okay? Are you about to fart?>

Razz: <...Little help... please?>

Tae: <...S-Sure.>

*Tae tries to pull Razz's arm down. Hawkmon pokes him.*

Tae: <What?>

Hawkmon: <Hitomi just hugged Tsune and you missed it.>

Tae: <Go help MegaSeadramon!> [...Dammit.]

=====

Allina: <Don't be mean.>

*She picks up Tae's doll and takes Razz's from Zarek, starting to look from one to the other and grinning.*

Allina: <Oh please. You have got to let me play one last prank.>
