Digital Mayhem

"BlackGabumon did all of that."

*Because magic bunnying dolls, it works, but it's incredibly awkward. Zarek takes the dolls and counts them over.*

Zarek:<One's missing.>

*Euryale goes with it anyway, & after the imprompteu make-out session, asks why Black Gabumon looks so mad.*

"I don't know."

*She lets go of Euryale and goes over to BlackGabumon, hugging him.*

"BlackGabumon? Are you okay?"

BlackGabumon:<Yes...I'm fine.>

Zarek:<Tsune, I'm going to need your doll. Unless you want to take it with you, but I can't say that's a good idea.>

*Euryale gives him an awkward thumbs-up.*

T"...I'm not completely sure I trust you with it, either."

*Valkyrimon degenerates. Hawkmon sits down, sighing, while Tae goes over to Hitomi and asks if she's all right, smiling.*

Hitomi:<Yes.>

*BlackGabumon doesn't even look at her.*

Zarek:<You could always give it to one of my companions here. They're all going to the same place, but someone else will be carrying it there. And I've no reason to use it or any of these to harm any of you. It's bad enough we've already lost four of you to my knowledge we can't really afford to lose any more of you.>

*Tsune reluctantly hands the doll over to Zarek.*

T"I swear to God, if you do anything perverted with it...."

Zarek:<Won't be a problem. And I won't bore you with the details why. Well, when you're ready the path to a new adventure awaits. We'll try to join you once these are stashed somewhere safe.>

*With that Zarek, Ogremon, and Panjyamon walk past them. A slight breeze picks up blowing the remains of a green hat passed them. There's a multitude of tears and holes in it as well as the edges being burnt.*

E"Hey, wait. How many Dark Masters are there?"

*Zarek yells back what might be the number four and the three continue on their way. Euryale finds herself waving frantically as they disappear over the horizon.*

"That means we've beat half of them and then after..."

*Taiyo suddenly looks very sad.*

E"I knew we couldn't trust him with those! Next time I see him, I'll kill him, I will! ...After what?"

*Taiyo shakes her head.*

"No, it's nothing. So, should we go down the creepy path?"

Razz: <Is anyone else positive he's going to lose them?>

Hawkmon: <What, you think they'll end up in some evil perverted Digimon's hands that'll undoubtedly use them to murder us gruesomely?>

Tae: <...You guys are great at raising the morale, no doubt about it.>

Hawkmon: <I'm just being realistic. The guy's a douche.>

Tae: <...Can't argue against that.>

Allina: <And so the group of brave-->

Hawkmon: <Pitiful.>

Allina: <--DigiDestined ventured down the scary pa-->

Hawkmon: <Path into certain death.>

Allina: <You're a sad bird and I hope Taiyo eats you.>

Patamon: <Don't give her any ideas.>

T"I much prefer that path to the continuation of the present conversation."

Salamon:<Then lets go.>

*As they embark down the path the lot of them can't help but be reminded of London and its fog. But unlike London their trip down the is quite chilly. As in cold enough to make their breath visible. Taiyo clings to Euryale's arm, but because armor is cold it is not a good idea.*

"Why is it everywhere we go seems to get colder?"

*Technically, the armor is only cold to Taiyo, it keeps Euryale toasty warm.*

E"Because the Digital World hates us."

Razz: <Tae.>

Tae: <Yeah?>

Razz: <I know you don't like me, but I just... wanted to... erm...>

*Razz keeps wincing and frowning as he speaks.*

Tae: <Why do you look like you're being tortured?>

Razz: <...I'm sorry. For punching you.>

*Tae widens his eyes and feels his cheek hurt for the first time in that whole time, having been too worried about other things. He rubs it and smiles.*

Tae: <That's it? Don't worry about it, it was my fault.>

*Tae smiles to Hitomi and then turns to Taiyo.*

Tae: <I'm really sorry for nearly killing you...>

Allina: <What the hell are you guys talking about?>

Veemon: <Puppetmon had quite some fun with those dolls. It was funny, sad and enfuriating all at the same time.>

Hawkmon: <...Those dolls. We're all going to die, I swear.>

"Hm? Oh, right. It's fine..."

*Overhead BlackWarGreymon flies by before the fog covers everything except for anything right in front of them. Eventually the path comes to an actual paved road with the Arc de Triomphe acting as some kind of entrance into a city with various buildings from their world.*

E"What...why...HOW...?"

T"I think it broke her."

Allina: <I saw you! I'll get you one day, and make you love us!>

Tae: <O Arco do Triunfo?>

Allina: <What?>

Tae: <I don't know how you'd call it. The Arch of Triumph?>

Hawkmon: <I'd call it super suspicious.>

Veemon: <What isn't these days?>

Hawkmon: <Point.>

Tae: <(Hitomi, do you think we can talk in private later?)>

Hitomi:<Okay...>

"It might be nice. It's better than the forest."

*A bell rings four times from somewhere else in the city. It may or may not be Big Ben.*

*Tae smiles and takes her hand.*

Hawkmon: <Anyone else think that sounds familiar?>

Allina: <If we find the Statue of Liberty, I wanna wreck it.>

Razz: <That'd feel nice.>

Tae: <Aren't you American?>

Razz: <Our recent stay in New York wasn't exactly pleasing.>

Tae: <...Right.>

E"That was definitely Big Ben. There can be no mistaking it. What is going on here?"

Salamon:<We're in the third Dark Master's domain. And it likes Material World landmarks.>

*The ground begins to rumble as from within the city comes a large array of Tankmon, kicking up a clud of dust in their wake.*

Patamon: <What?! I'm starving!>

*Hawkmon, Veemon and Patamon all digivolve(try to?) to Ultimate and showers the Tankmon with lasers, razor feathers, beams, blasts, and what have you.*
