A Hole in the Heart

[Next - rewrite!AU] One's supposed to save the world. He's destroying it. The rest are supposed to be a team. They're pretty much anything but. And if they don't fix things soon, they'll be doomed. Or maybe they're already doomed. Oh dear.

Greymon was vastly outmatched. Tsurugi had never appreciated Shou's skill as a tamer until that battle. Never thought there was such a difference between them. Is that why you won't talk to us? Or was he trying to become stronger for some other reason.

Protect shattered. Greymon shattered too. Tsurugi sent his chair spiralling away and Ami shrieked in surprise. He noticed neither of those things. 'Stop!' They keyboard seemed too far away - and there was no emergency exit anyway. Not for the digimon.

And why - why would Shou even go for the kill? And against Greymon no less?

But then Peckmon was gone, and there was a Gururumon in its place, sleek fur black and snarling, snarling as though it was in the room with them.

And then a paw came out of the computer and Ami was pulling Tsurugi away from the computer, out of the bedroom.

Padded footsteps and thudding heart beats followed them. And the hiss they could barely hear through fear and that clouted throat. Whispers of 'Illegal, illegal.'

Illegal?!
