Episode 2

Flamon sat neatly on a bench outside of the train station, humming quietly. The rookie watched people walked by him and grinned. The demonic rookie was carefully –and tastefully- disguised in human clothing. A red and black beanie covered his cut-off horns and the top of his pointy ears. His messy auburn hair was combed and pulled back in a ponytail and large black hoodie covered all of his arms and up to his crotch. A large pair of black jeans covered his legs and he was wearing a pair of black and red Vans. His tail was covered by the hoodie and the white markings on his face were covered up by a thin layer of makeup. His earrings, however, were still seen, but Flamon didn’t care. Zero came out of the train station with two tickets, glaring down at Flamon.

“Okay, our train leaves a three. We have forty minutes, got it?” Zero snapped. Flamon nodded, grinning.

“Come now, Zero, why are you so angry?” the demon chuckled. “Just because my boss needs us to go to Trenton, doesn’t mean the world’s going to end. Besides, you get to meet another Chosen.”

“Yeah. A girl. Haven’t you noticed I’m a boy in the middle of puberty? How do you know I won’t do something to that girl?” Zero snapped. Flamon laughed.

“Because her partner can rip you up in a matter of seconds,” the digimon stated cheerfully and stood up. “And besides, she just became a Chosen this morning. Give the girl some slack.”

Zero huffed again and glared up at the sky. “Where are we meeting her again?”

Flamon pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. He looked at it and frowned. “The ‘Silver Robin’s Hut of Jewels’. It’s a trading tent down in Trenton. There’s something that’s been hunting along the East Coast. It looks like this thing’s made its nest down in Trenton somewhere.”

“Great…a ferocious what-cha-ma-call-it and a new Chosen. Go team,” Zero crossed his arms. “Man why does my life suck? One of my friends died, I’m forced to live with a demonic digital being, and I have no clue to why I’m even a Chosen!”

Flamon watched bemusedly as he partner continued to rant about the demonic rookie. The not-so-young digimon looked up at the sky and sighed, shaking his head. Zero was still ranting about the fire-controlling rookie, when Flamon jumped to attention. A man wearing a white jacket strode over to the two. Without an ounce of mercy, Flamon jammed his elbow into Zero’s ribcage.

“OW! DAMN IT, FLAMON!” Zero shouted angrily. Flamon clamped his hand over Zero’s mouth and glared at the man.

“What do you want, Aroh?” Flamon hissed. The man smiled pleasantly.

“Why, Flamon is that anyway to treat the person who woke you up?” Aroh asked amiably. Flamon hissed angrily. Zero clawed at the rookie’s hand, but Flamon refused to move his hand. “You know, you might suffocate your partner.”

“He’ll be fine,” Flamon growled. “Why did Skylar send you?”

“To give you this,” Aroh held out a small blue rectangular device. On the side facing up, a small screen plus two white buttons glittered in the sunlight. “It’s the oldest model of digivice, but it tracks digimon and mythological beings like a bloodhound.”

“Hounds aren’t always reliable,” Flamon muttered, releasing Zero and taking the device. He looked at the small digivice. “Of course, you meant it track our position better than the D-Zetas, right?”

Aroh just smiled and walked away. He climbed into a shiny black Rolls Royce and then the car was driving off. Flamon scowled. He shook his fist at the moving car. “YOU JUST CAN’T TRACE THE D-ZETAS AURAS THAT ALL!”

Later; After the Train Ride to Trenton

The pair made their way down the steps from the Rail. At about 200 feet off the ground, this station was the tallest in Trenton, and the main commuter’s choice 3 years running. It had an elevator, but only registered commuters with an interface card could use it. So everyone else had to hike the long flight of black steel stairs that wound in a slightly dizzying spiral from the platform.

“Ok, where do we go?” questioned Zero.

“Ummm…”

Flamon looked around and shaded his eyes against the bright sunlight. “Let’s ask someone.”

Zero nodded and went in pursuit of a clique of young girls walking past. “Excuse me, ladies…?”

Flamon sighed and shook his head.

“Umm, ok.”

“Eeew, he’s poor, Michelle.”

“Yeah, like, nasty, grubby poor.”

“Is he flirting?”

“I, um, ladies, ladies, calm down, I just wanted to ask- ow!”

“Take that, nasty, grubby, dirty boy!” One of the girls whacked him with her purse.

“Oooh, good one, Ellie!”

“Yeah!”

“Ick, he’s getting up!”

“Like, ew, his boxers are showing!!”

As Zero tried to stand up (and as someone started dialing the police and getting out their pepper spray), Flamon strode over and began to drag him away from the scene.

“Oooh, now, HE can teach that boy a lesson!”

“Darn right!”

“Ponytails are SO hot.”

Flamon blushed as the girls abandoned their cell phone-dialing and began to crowd around. Realizing that Flamon was getting more attention, Zero scowled.

“So, umm, hello, yeah…” Flamon dropped the helpless (and chick-less) Zero and basked in the unexpected limelight. “I’m… I’m, er, Joe. My name’s Joe. And what might yours be, little cutie?”

The girl nearest Flamon giggled. “Ellie.”

“You know I once saved a kitten from a very, very tall tree?”

“Awww! He’s so sensitive!”

“That’s soooo sweet!”

“Yeah, like, totally cool.”

“Ok, time to go!” Zero grabbed the collar of Flamon’s shirt roughly and tugged him back to the street.

Desperately, Flamon scribbled his cell number on a scrap of paper and handed it to one of the blushing girls. “Call me!”

When they got to the safety of the shadows, Zero rounded on his unfortunate partner. “My partner is a player. You know, I used to be the one who got all the girls,” Zero growled.

“Well sor-ry for being much smarter and better-looking than you,” muttered Flamon as he fixed his ponytail, which had come loose after all the girls tugging on it. “It’s not my fault Trenton girls are different from New Yorker girls.”

“Never mind. Let’s just find the stupid stall,” said Zero.

“Let me do the talking, ‘kay? A roving teenage male isn’t likely to get any directions.”

“Whatever.”

They came to a long, open street that curved into a large cul-de-sac. An old clock stood in the center of it all, and no cars were allowed to pass through. Stalls and tents and stores lined the cobblestones. Synthetic goats, mini-horses, ducks, pigs, and guinea hens (which were all the rage with teenage pet owners, but not their parents) tied with heavy-duty cord (which was originally used for suspension bridges and cranes) to rings in the streets made lot and lots of noise as some demonstrated just how freakishly strong they were.

“Wow,” said Zero. Never in his short life had he seen such awesome things. “How are we gonna find one little tent in this mess?”

Suddenly, Zero spotted a young blonde girl with a large backpack over one shoulder and promptly swaggered up to her. “Hello, may I ask for some direc-wah!!” The girl spun around and swung her bag right in his face, knocking Zero to the ground. The bag made a muffled “OW!” sound as it met contact.

“Whoops, sorry!” the girl shook her short hair out of her eyes. “I thought you were someone else… What did you want, again?” She leaned over Zero, who was sprawled out in the middle of the street, the crowd giving him a wide berth as they continued their shopping.

“Man!” grumbled Zero, rubbing his head. “Huh? Oh! Hi! I was just wondering if you knew-.”

“Zero! I thought I told you not to speak to anyone of the opposite gender. Then again, maybe you should give males some space, too…” Flamon trailed off as he saw the young blonde standing over Zero, smiling politely. Zero cleared his throat and sat up.

“As I was saying, I need directions to the Silver Robin’s House of Fries, right, Fla- I mean, Joe?” Zero cocked his head to the side.

Flamon sighed. “No, it’s the Silver Robin’s Hut ofJewels, Zero.” “Must be hungry.”

“Right! So we’re looking for the what-cha-ma-call it, er, what he said. Can you help us?”

The girl closed one eye halfway and ran a hand through her hair. Then she held out a hand to Zero and smiled. “Yeah, sure. By the way, I’m Alice,” she said with a laugh. “And you are about the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.”

Taking her outstretched hand, Zero pulled himself up and kicked Flamon inconspicuously. “Thanks! We’ve been looking everywhere for it, but we’re new to the city.”

Something in Alice’s bag moved. She promptly hit it many times and hissed, “I thought I told you to stop moving!”

Zero and Flamon stared at the girl, and Alice grinned sheepishly. “Um, just my… new synthetic pet rabbit, Mr. Flufflekins. Skittish, ya know?” The bag made a noise of protest. Alice whacked it in response. “See? Just needs some discipline…”

“Ok then.” Flamon tugged on Zero’s shirt. “Let’s go before she sets that thing on us!” he whispered.

“Sure, you can take on a pack of hungry girls but can’t cope with a little rabbit?” said Zero in disbelief.

“But-.”

“Hellooo?” Alice said from behind the bickering pair. “Are we going or not?” She looked at the sky. The sun was almost at it’s peak. “The lunch crowd’s gonna be moving in, and we won’t be able to move, let alone find a single tent.”

“Oh, right, sorry,” said Flamon. “C’mon, Zero. It’s just a rabbit, don’t be scared.” He smiled and fell into step with Alice.

“I thought you were- Ugh, never mind,” mumbled Zero as he trudged behind them.

“The Silver Robin’s just past the clock tower,” said Alice. “I’m headed over that way, too, so I’ll show you around so you won’t get hopelessly lost or robbed.”

A deep purple tent with a silver flag flying high on a pole came into view. A holographic person stood outside, welcoming people inside and talking about the curios.

“There it is!” said Alice.

“Wow,” said Zero.

“Yup,” said Alice with a nod. She put her hands on her hips.

“Let’s go inside,” said Flamon. “The other Ch-,” he backtracked quickly “-my cousin is probably already inside!” Zero rolled his eyes. The two walked towards the entrance, but Zero stopped and looked back to Alice.

“Wanna come?” he asked. Alice blinked before shrugging. Zero smiled at her and then walked after Flamon. The demonic rookie rolled his eyes, eyeing Alice’s book bag. It moved slightly and his eyes narrowed. The inside of the tent was actually just the beginning of a long, windowless building. Many types of occult and antiques and such lined the walls and on small round tables about every eight feet (there were three tables like this). A tall girl with long brunette hair was standing by a table looking at a green colored ring. The design was Celtic with emeralds or green cubic zirconia in every tiny diamond shaped indent. She had a bag hanging from her shoulder and a black cat sat at her feet. Tuffs of dark blue fur sprouted from the tip of its ears and its tail was very long with blue stripes ending in a blue tuff at the end. It turned its head to the new customers and nudged the girl’s leg with its head. Its golden eyes flashed back to them landing on Flamon. Flamon grinned.

“There she is…” he said and walked over to the girl. The girl turned to him and smiled. They talked quickly before she and Flamon walked over to Zero and Alice. “This is Abby Kingston.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Abby said smiling. “And you are?”

“Ah, I’m Z-.”

“Stop moving!” Alice growled at her book bag. Abby blinked while Zero, Flamon, and the cat sweat dropped. Her bag refused and continued squirming. She looked at them apologetically. “I…uh, have to go. Mr. Flufflekins needs some discipline.”

She left quickly leaving four confused beings. Zero sighed and then smiled at Abby.

“As I was saying-,” he began, but Flamon cut him off.

“It would be easier to use the D-Zeta, Zero,” he said. Zero glared at him, but obliged. He pulled out the red, silver, and black device and Abby gasped.

“You have one too?” she asked. Zero nodded. “Mine used to be my cell phone.” Abby pulled out one just like Zero’s only hers had blue where his had red, silver where his had black, and purple where his had silver. As Abby flipped it open, Zero’s went off. A circle appeared on the screen while the smaller, thinner screen read “Tracker”. A silver and neon green dot were flashing in nearly the same spot…outside of the tent.

“Flamon,” Zero said. Flamon’s eyes were narrowed.

“Alice doesn’t have a synthetic pet rabbit named Mr. Flufflekins in that bag of hers,” he said solemnly. “She has a digimon!”

Abby frowned. “You can’t just assume that…”

“The tracker function went off and if you asked your partner, she’ll tell you what she sensed,” Flamon answered. The cat flicked her tail. “Zero, use the Data function, please.”

Zero glowered at him, but obliged. The Tracker function went away and a bio of Abby appeared.

Name: Abby Kingston
Age: 16
Hair: Brunette
Eye: Blue-Green
Crest: Reliability
Partner: BlackGatomon

Zero moved the D-Zeta to the cat.

Name: BlackGatomon
Attribute: Virus
Level: Champion
Type: Demon Beast
Attacks: Cat Punch, Lightning Kick, Feline’s Eye, Cat Tail, Love of Danger
Partner: Abby Kingston

“So instead of Gatomon…we have a BlackGatomon in our group…” Zero muttered. BlackGatomon flicked her tail again.

“Shouldn’t we find out what digimon this girl has?” she asked. Her voice was mature and velvety. “Whatever digimon she had…it was viral.”

Suddenly, a loud ripping noise tore through the muted buzz and soft music of the Silver Robin. Screams from the bystanders outside noted that this occurrence wasn’t a pleasant one.

“Eep!! Impmon, I told you to stay in there! Now look what you’ve attracted… What the?!”

A giant tiger-like creature the size of an elephant was parading down the street. A man’s head was shouting and roaring profanities, showing off it’s three rows of razor-sharp teeth. The long spiky scorpion’s tail flailed around the thing. Alice stood in shock as the creature paraded right to her.

“What the hell!?” she shouted out.

“Move!” Impmon shouted. He summoned two fireballs, one red and one blue and then threw them at the creature. A large tunnel of fire sped at it as soon as the fireballs collided. “INFERNO TUNNEL!”

The flames hit the creature’s face and it roared out in pain. It leered at Impmon and the small imp muttered a few profanities. The other four rushed out of the tent and then stopped dead.

“Flamon what the hell is that?!” Zero shouted out. Flamon growled, as flames erupted around him. Alice and Abby stared at the rookie in surprise. Zero glanced at his partner and then smirked. “Ready?”

“Oh, hell yeah!”

EVOLUTION

A fog erupted from Zero’s D-Zeta and surrounded the area.

“FLAMON SHINKA--!” (1)

The flames engulfed Flamon, burning away his street clothes and then even the clothes underneath and his skin. A crimson framework was in place of the rookie until the Spirit erupted out of his Digi-Core and swallowed him. The skin, clothes, and armor took over his form and the tall, majestic form of Agunimon took over the smaller rookie.

“AGUNIMON!”

Alice, Abby, BlackGatomon, and Impmon looked at the warrior in shock. Zero just smirked as the fog cleared almost instantly. Agunimon’s long blonde hair blew in the wind briefly and as soon as the wind stopped, he rushed forward blindingly fast.

“BURNING SALAMANDER!” he shouted as flames danced around his clenched fists. He skidded to a stop and punched forward letting the flames slam into the creature. It roared again and fell onto its side. It started hissing profanities as it slowly tried to get up. “This is a manticore. They often feed on large wild creatures and are usually found in east Asia. Oh, humans seem to taste very good to him.”

“What…who in Sam’s name are you people?!” Impmon shouted out. “We don’t need a Legendary Warrior helping us!”

Zero pointed his D-Zeta at the imp. Impmon turned to glare at the boy.

Name: Impmon
Attribute: Virus
Level: Rookie
Type: Small Demon
Attacks: Badda Boom/Night of Fire, Inferno Tunnel/Summon, Night of Blizzard, Dark Song
Partner: Alice Johnson

Zero shifted the D-Zeta to Alice, but looked to Agunimon. The warrior was struggling a bit with the monster, but was holding pretty well.

Name: Alice Johnson
Age: 14
Hair: Blonde
Eye: Green
Crest: Sincerity
Partner: Impmon

Zero looked at Alice, who had slid to her knees. BlackGatomon had joined the battle and was currently using her ‘Love of Danger’ attack. Impmon was growling from Alice’s side, his fur bristling. Impmon clenched his fist. Zero looked back to the battle as Agunimon shouted out in pain. Zero took a step forward and growled. He couldn’t do anything.

“CAT PUNCH!” BlackGatomon slammed her curled paw into the manticore’s leg. It scream out and growled at her, before swiping her away. “Oof!” The black cat digimon easily jumped back onto her feet and then dashed away from the raging manticore.

Agunimon landed next to Zero after a roundhouse kick. The demonic warrior was panting, but he shook it off.

“Zero, get the girls and that imp outta of here,” he ordered.

“All right,” Zero nodded. He turned to the girls, but Impmon jumped onto Agunimon’s shoulder.

“Whatta ya mean ‘and dat imp’?!” he growled. “I can help you!”

“You can’t evolve, can you?” Agunimon asked calmly. Impmon flushed in anger.

“I don’t need to evolve!” he snapped and jumped off his shoulder. Impmon landed lightly and then ran towards the manticore.

“IMPMON!” Alice shouted. She hurried to her feet and was about to rush after the imp when Agunimon and Zero restrained her. “Let me go!”

“You can’t go out there! It’s too dangerous!” Agunimon snapped.

“I don’t care!” Alice struggled more. “IMPMON!”

“Alice, we don’t want you getting hurt!” Zero grabbed her arms and pinned them to her sides. “She better not kick me.” “Agunimon will get Impmon, but-!”

“NIGHT OF BLIZZARD!” thousands of freezing ice crystals spiraled at the manticore and froze the top half of his leg. It screamed out and swung its tail at Impmon. The small digimon jumped over it and smirked. “Is that-!?” Suddenly, the manticore’s tail hit him in the gut and sent him into the air. “ACK!”

“NO! IMPMON!” Alice screamed.

“BlackGatomon!” Abby shouted out desperately. The black cat nodded and rushed forward.

“LOVE OF DANGER!” she shouted. Blackness surrounded her and she charged into the manticore’s side and pushing it away from the falling Impmon. As the cat fought the beast, Impmon tried to push himself up, but couldn’t. Agunimon growled and let go of Alice. He ran forward and kicked the manticore’s tail away from the fallen digimon. Impmon watched Agunimon angrily.

“I…I don’t…need your damn he…help!” he growled at the warrior. Agunimon snorted, and literally snapped the scorpion tip off the tail. The manticore screamed bloody murder. “Ugh…I don’t think…he liked that.”

“Impmon!” Alice shouted out again. “LET ME GO DAMN IT!”

“Rrrr…Abby! Hold her!” Zero snapped. Abby looked confused, but took Alice and held her tightly. “I’ll be right back.” And with that, he ran into the battle field.

“ZERO!” Abby shouted. Alice’s eyes widened as the tall boy ran away from them.

“What…WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” Alice shouted after him.

Zero ignored them. He dashed over to Agunimon and Impmon. The two digimon looked surprised, before Agunimon growled angrily.

“DAMN IT BOY! GET OUTTA HERE!” he shouted at him.

“Sure! Hold on!” Zero scooped up Impmon and then dashed away from the battle. He just barely made it to Abby and Alice when both girls glomped him, making him fall.

“IDIOT!” Alice shouted at him, but she scooped up Impmon and shook the imp. “Don’t do that!”

Zero’s eye twitched. “Damn Trenton girls.”

“Zero, you shouldn’t have done that!” Abby scolded him. Zero blinked. Abby looked upset. “You could have been killed.”

“Well, I didn’t want Alice running into the battle-,” he began.

“So YOU decided to?!” Abby growled.

Impmon looked at Zero and huffed. “Leave him alone, dame. He did a brave thing.” Alice held Impmon tighter. She looked at Zero and sighed.

“T…thanks…” she mumbled. Zero stood up, helped Abby up, and then looked at the battle.

“Don’t thank me yet…”

“BURNING SALAMANDER!”

“LIGHTNING KICK!”

The attacks were hurting the beast, but it kept coming. Zero clenched his fist tightly. The buildings and tents were badly damaged and the vicinity was empty except for them. The Silver Robin’s hut was the only one which was undamaged and still playing the soft music. Impmon watched with growing irritation.

“They need help,” he muttered. Alice shook her head.

“No you can’t-!”

“LOOK OUT!”

BlackGatomon’s cry surprised the group. The manticore swooped down at them.

“OH FUCK!” Zero shouted out. Abby and Alice screamed. Impmon jumped out of Alice arms and a bright light came from her pocket and fog encircled them.

EVOLUTION

“IMPMON SHINKA--!”

Impmon was engulfed in darkness. His fur and skin ripped off revealing a shining silver framework. It remodeled itself to that of a very large dog. Skin and short fur wrapped onto it and long silver claws came from his paws. A large spiked collar wrapped around his neck and his once green eyes became blood red. Eyes appeared on his upper fore legs and thighs and long blades came from behind his paws.

“DOBERMON!”

The large Doberman digimon growled at the approaching manticore. “GRAU REALM!”

The manticore’s eyes widened and it slammed into the ground and started rolling in pain. Dobermon chuckled darkly. Zero, Alice, and Abby started at the digimon in surprise. Agunimon and BlackGatomon looked impressed.

“It hurts doesn’t it?” Dobermon asked as he slowly approached the beast. “Your strength is being compressed and the poison from your tail is now circulating through your blood. You should now be slowly dying.”

“Evil bastard, ain’t he?” Agunimon commented walking over to the teens. BlackGatomon chuckled. The kids looked somewhat traumatized.

“Don’t worry…I’ll end your pain nice and fast,” Dobermon smirked. “S-!”

“Uh, Dobermon. You can’t do that,” Agunimon said. Dobermon turned to the warrior angrily.

“And why not?” he growled.

“Well, Mythos is coming to pick up that guy,” Agunimon smiled good-naturedly. “Sorry.”

Dobermon twitched and slowly turned around fully. “So…I can’t even try to kill it for trying to kill my partner?!”

Agunimon put his hands up apologetically. “Sorry, sorry.” BlackGatomon watched in amusement. The manticore’s tail twitched and the two human girls squealed out and clutched Zero’s arms.

“It moved! It moved!” they squealed. Zero blushed brightly. Dobermon looked at the twitching manticore emotionlessly. Agunimon looked up as a loud buzzing sound filled the air. In a flash of fire, he no longer was in his digimon form, but the 7-foot-9 Akio Hono’o stood in his place. A black turtleneck and a crimson vest took the place of his breastplate and a pair of black jeans and black shoes took the place of his leg guards. His blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail and his blue eyes narrowed as the chopper hovered above the manticore. Men in black slid down ropes from the chopper. Heavy metal ropes fell down after them and as they jumped to the ground, they took them and tied them to the manticore’s legs.

“Good work!” one man said. Akio just nodded.

“Good luck bringing that back to Middlton,” Akio muttered as they men continued to tie the ropes to the legs, tail, and head. As they climbed back up the normal ropes, the manticore roared out.

“Eee!” the girls squealed out again, holding Zero’s arms tighter.

“Raaaaarrr! - To you too!” Dobermon snapped as the chopper took the large creature away. “Hey…what about all those people who saw it?”

Akio shrugged. “Oh…Mythos will send people…” As he ushered the teens and digimon away from the area, men in black suits rounded up the people who saw the battle. Suddenly a flash came from nowhere and the crowd blinked sleepily.

Later; After a Good Lunch

“So you’re a Mythos Agent?” Abby asked as Akio finished explaining what was happening to the three girls and one imp. The teens had their D-Zeta on the table at Rosa’s Restuarante and Pizzeria. Zero looked out the third story window at the forest in boredom. The D-Zetas, Zero’s silver, red, and black, Abby’s purple, blue, and silver, and Alice’s silver, white, and black glittered under the bright, faux sunlight lamps.

“Yes. It’s my job to help guide all the new Chosen,” Akio explained. “If you ever saw the Digimon anime, er, cartoon, there was always a leader and at least some digimon who knew a lot about the Digital World. You could say, I’m both.”

“Akio’s the Legendary Warrior of Fire,” Zero said, drawing the girls’ and Impmon’s to himself. “He was the leader of the Legendary Warriors and Takuya Kanbara’s partner before me.”

“Eh? You mean you had a partner before Zero?” Alice asked, turning to Akio. Akio nodded. “What about Impmon? Did he-?”

“I can’t say,” Akio cut her off. He smiled apologetically. “Digimon lose their memories of their past lives every time they’re reborn. I’m the only exception…the scientists at Mythos pretty much forced my memories to come back.”

“Oh…that was pretty mean,” Abby said. Zero sighed.

“So if you said if the digimon had a partner or not it might make them remember them?” he asked. Akio shook his head.

“No, but it might cause them to want to find out who those children were,” Akio explained. “So, Impmon, BlackGatomon, I’m sorry, but I cannot tell you if you had a partner before or not.”

Impmon shrugged. “Oh, well. I might have, but it doesn’t matter. Alice is my partner now.”

Alice smiled and hugged the imp. Abby patted BlackGatomon’s head. Zero watched them and smiled. Akio grinned.

“Well, we’re going to go back to New York soon. Everyone ready?” he asked.

Alice froze. “What?”

Zero and Akio blinked. “We’re going back to New York, Alice,” Zero answered.

Alice smiled pleasantly. “Oh.” And then she tried to run away. BlackGatomon pounced onto her back. “NOOO! You can’t take me back!”

Akio watched in amusement as BlackGatomon, Impmon, and Zero struggled to calm down the blonde. Abby chuckled lightly.

“Technically, Alice-chan, you have no choice,” Akio said, smiling.

“NOOO!”
