The tough battle happening in that instant had been causing so much pain and headaches to the leader. Ken was trying to find out a solution, while Daisuke felt it was useless however he refused to give up. Takeru and Hikari were asking him questions, coordinates and commands, Miyako and Iori using their best ideas to prevent the enemy to beat their digi-partners.
For a minute, Daisuke was able to feel like they were about to die. Maybe call Taichi and Yamato for some extra hand?? Could Omegamon and Imperialdramon together face the imminent enemy trying to destroy the six?!
That digimon, a strange one. But very familiar to Daisuke and V-mon. Also to the other eight but Ken & Wormmon. He knew, that laser the opponent had can lead anyone to another world… Perhaps… They had to avoid it. Except he couldn’t.
The jogress got broken, all the digimon returned to lesser forms, Tailmon being the only adult level and the holy ring coming back to her tail. He felt the digimon was ready to shoot the laser and capture the group all again, he wouldn’t let them get hurt…!!
“NO! LEAVE THEM ALONE!!”
He shouted, V-mon evolved again to XV-mon and then… He and the blue phantom dragon got caught. He looked back seeing his comrades and friends yelling their names… Their voices fading and him given then a broken smile.
Then… emptiness.
And next… He woke up with a child staring at him. XV-mon had devolved to V-mon and was sitting next Daisuke, still unconscious.
“G-gah! Wh-where am I!?” the boy panicked “E-everyone!?” and looked around, searching for the 02 team. He glanced back to the child and asked “W-who are you!? Did you see a group of children and their digimon around…?? Like, a Wormmon, a Hawkmon, an Armadimon, a Patamon and a Tailmon with those kids!?”
Fingers lingered over letters, over text, over sentences that had yet to be approached delicately. They buzzed. Demanded attention. His body wasn’t built to scream, an attention he was apt to avoid despite it all. Aki was pressing fingers into a keyboard out of frustration, and it wasn’t because of the obvious for a change.
【 Fennel>> 】 you’re probably asking the wrong person. keep a “stiff spine and think happy thoug- hts” right? of course, you’re still worthless at follow- ing your own advice. =)
【 Coriander>> 】 damn it ?? that’s not what i was talking about here;; you literal piece of trash just use your eyes and read for once??? i haven’t heard from rue in a week -- and you’re literally not thinking that’s a problem you need to worry about??
【 Fennel>> 】 so she died i guess. just wnat she’s always wanted. a really long nap. * what it’s not like you care about anyone else.
【 Coriander>> 】 isn’t that what we’re supposed to do though? that “lo ve and frie ndship” shit? cuz i sure love when your stupid mouth talks like you know everything
【 Fennel>> 】 noted.
He was somewhat aware that the kids still in the facility were a bit more understanding of what was going to happen to them. But, to be fair, that’s what happens when you let enough of them talk.
This chat group? Was an absolute miserable mess.
He felt tired fielding responses by this point, and planted the phone screen down onto the ground beside him. It was one of those situations where his freedom still kept him tethered to people he didn’t want to be attached to; even through another world’s haze, it still seeped in.
His eyes glanced downwards; there was one extra problem he didn’t immediately expect. The unconscious body laying near at his feet, and his equally as situated (partner?) -- Honestly, he should have just abandoned them already.
A hesitation, his leg held over his side as if tempted to kick him in the ribs to wake him up was ruined by a near instantaneous jump to alertness. (“NO! LEAVE THEM ALONE!!”) Aki adjusts his posture, prepositions his legs under him in seiza, and places his hands and phone neatly in his lap.
“You’ve been out for at least a half hour already. Your partner isn’t awake yet. Take a few minutes for yourself first, before worrying about your friends.”
...
“My partner is on his way back with water. If you can wait just a bit, I’ll see if we can help you find them. By the way, who ... are you?”
