DAY 2
"So you got all that?" Lily Deus asked. She was on the roof on some building in the city.
"Yup, I got everything you said." replied a smiling Levi replied. He was accompanied by Manfred.
"Good, I need you two add some...drama to a particular pair." Lily said with a smile. "Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go get some answers." he said before vanishing int thin air.
"Yapping old hag." Levi said dropping his smile.
"What a repulsive woman. I cannot believe that she was chosen to be this week's Game Master." Manfred said angrily.
"Yeah, I'm just as pissed as you are of not getting chosen but don't worry." Levi smiled again. "The show later'll make us both forget."
Manfred smiled and the two of them vanished. When they reappeared, they were in the middle of a street. Looking around they saw what they were looking for: Veemon and Gatomon still unconscious.
"Alright, it won't be long until they're up so we gotta hurry." Levi said before walking towards Veemon. He picked him up by his shoulders and proceeded t drag his body across the street. Manfred did the same thing to Gatomon but in the opposite direction. They stopped when they were quite far from each other and released the Digimon.
"Good, this should be far enough." Levi said walking towards Manfred. He looked at Gatomon. "Have fun while you can." he muttered.
Then, he and Manfred gave an evil laugh before vanishing into thin air.
"Nghh..." Veemon said as he slowly regained consciousness. He checked his surrounding. "Huh? What happened? I thought I was in front of the school. Wait, where's Gatomon?"
He stood up and looked around again. She was nowhere to be found so he started calling her name. He heard her reply and ran towards the direction of her voice.
"There you are. where were you?" Veemon asked when they met.
"I dunno. i just woke up and saw that you weren't nearby." Gatomon answered. "I woke up over there.' She pointed at a spot not too far away from them.
"Anyway, what's going on now? I thought we were in front of the school." Gatomon said.
"I don't know either." Veemon replied.
"Beep! Beep!"
"It's this thing again." Veemon said holding up the device on his hand. Gatomon did the same and read the message on it.
Defeat the noise at the base of the replica of the Statue of Liberty. You have 30 minutes. Succeed of suffer erasure.
-the DL's
"Ow!" they yelled as the timer was burned onto their palms.
"I guess a day has passed." Gatomon told Veemon. "We've got a new mission and since its one mission a day, it must mean that this is the start of a new day."
"You're really smart y'know." Veemon commented.
"Thanks." Gatomon said with a smile." C'mon let's go." And they were off.
"So. Do you remember me now Veemon?" Gatomon asked as they walked.
He conked his head a few times before answering. "Sorry, you're still a stranger to me. I still don't remember you."
"Darn it. Oh well." Gatomon sighed. "I hope you will soon."
"Why d'you want to me to remember you so much?" Veemon asked curiously.
"What do you mean? I'm your friend Veemon." she answered. "How could you forget me after all we've been through? All those battles we fought together, those night we spent together. How could you forget when we first met? How you and the others tried to rescue me and Kari when we were stuck in Fullmetal City? The time when Ken-"
She suddenly stopped in mid sentence with a small blush on her face.
"When Ken what?" Veemon asked.
"Wh...When Ken teases you because he saw you and me under a mistletoe one Christmas." she finished.
"Ken teased me because I was alone under that mistletoe." Veemon mentioned. "Sorry but I still don't know you."
Gatomon sighed dejectedly and they continued on towards their destination. They arrived at the statue with plenty of time left.
"Alright, those Noise should show up anytime now." Veemon said getting ready. Then, they saw a Noise symbol floating in mid air before it flashed and several Jungle Boomers, Mosh Grizzlies, Thrash Minks and Carcinosamps appeared.
"Whoa, there are a lot of them." Gatomon said. "This should more difficult than yesterday."
Just then, two small spheres of light appeared near Gatomon's paw while three appeared near Veemon's hand. Wondering what they were, they took the spheres and they took a new form. They now looked like pins with a picture of a Digimon on each. Gatomon got Amgewomon and Nefertimon while Veemon got ExVeemon, Flamedramon and Raidramon.
"What do these things do?" Veemon asked while examining them. Gatomon shook her head. He took the Raidramon pin and squeezed it. He felt a powerful rush of energy and pointed it at a Carcinosamp.
"Thunder Blast!"
His hand was engulfed in blue energy and a bolt of lightning shot out and reduced a Carcinosamp to nothingness.
"Cool." he said with a smile.
"Let me try one." Gatomon said taking the Angewomon pin.
"Celestial Arrow!"
Just like her Ultimate Form, a pair of wings grew out of her wrists and formed a thread of light. She pulled back the thread and released it, sending an arrow of light at a Mosh Grizzlie and taking it out.
The Carcinosamps threw their claws boomerang style but Veemon destroyed them before they could hit her. The Several Thrash Minks coiled around Veemon but he used Fire Rocket to escape and ram Jungle Boomer.
Meanwhile, another Jungle Boomer jumped into the air just as a Mosh Grizzlie lunged at Gatomon. She dodged the slash and jumped onto he bear's back. She saw the shadow of the Jungle Boomer right above her and jumped off just as it came down and hit the Grizzlie instead causing its instant defeat.
Now with the pins, the battle was much easier. After several tense minutes, it was finally over and Veemon and Gatomon were able to relax. Then, they saw their timers vanish.
"Looks like were in the clear." Gatomon said when she saw this.
"Yeah but not for long." a voice said. They turned around and saw two people, a teenager and an old man, with black tattoo wings.
"How can you two see us?" Veemon asked.
"It's 'cuz we're DL's! I'm Levi and this's Manfred."
"So you two work for Lily?" Gatomon asked immediately disliking them.
"Uh...yeah we do." Levi answered. "But you'd already know that from your orientation."
"What orientation?" Gatomon asked.
"Y'know, the one you had with us before you came here."
"What's going on here?" Veemon asked.
"Oh ho, you have not told him." Manfred said stroking his beard. "Oh what a shame. Levi, it seems like her cover has been blown."
"What cover? What are you two talking about?" Gatomon asked again.
"D'you two know her?" Veemon asked.
"Know her? Of course we do." Manfred and Levi were smiling at this point. "Levi, please inform this pitiful Digimon of the truth."
"Gladly. Hey blue boy, y'know her?" Levi jerked his thumb in Gatomon's direction. "Yeah, she's with us. She's a Digimon working for us DL's."
"What do you mean; I've never met you in my whole life!" Gatomon said angrily.
Veemon looked at her stunned. "Is...Is this true?"
But before she could open her mouth, Levi spoke. "You be it is. In fact, she's been spying on you and your friends for a while and giving us al the info we need. Why do you think she knows about your friends so much?"
"Because I'm his friend!" Gatomon shouted angrily.
"But do you remember her?" Manfred asked Veemon. "I am sure you would know your own life more than anyone else."
"Veemon, don't believe what they're saying." Gatomon said as she glared angrily at the two DL's.
"Now that I think about it, I have been wondering why you know so much about me and my friends." Veemon said seriously to her. "I've also been wondering what happens whenever you're out of my sight like yesterday and a while ago."
"Oh, you really do black out after each day." Levi explained. "But you blacked out before she did and she was able to give us more info. She was gone missing a while ago because she was talking to us."
"I've just had enough of you two!" Gatomon said pointer her paw threateningly.
"You would dare raise your paw against you superiors?" Manfred asked. "Were you also like this with your previous master?"
"What previous master?" Veemon asked wanting more details to this Digimon who knew so much about him.
"Well before she served us, she used to work for some other guy." Levi said slyly. "Ever heard of someone named Myotismon?
"How could I forget him?" Veemon answered remembering that epic battle.
"Yeah well, she used to work for him before she worked for us."
Veemon quickly faced her. "Is this true?"
Gatomon hesitated at first. "Well, yes I did work for Myotismon but I changed my ways and became Kari's partner."
"Tell me, does this Kari have a partner?" Manfred asked Veemon.
"No she doesn't." he answered shaking his head. "So what did she do as Myotismon's servant?"
"Perhaps a visual answer would suffice." Manfred said sticking his hand out. A large white circle appeared and all of them watched what was projected in it.
In the vision, they saw Tai and the others back when they were still young. They were in Myotismon's castle and were chasing him when who else but Gatomon shows up and jumped on the heads of the Champion Level Digimon, knocking them down.
"Hang on, here's my favorite part." Levi said happily as the vision showed Gatomon animating several Devidramon statues. The vision ended with a failed attempt to defeat the Devidramon.
Manfred lowered his hand and the circle vanished. "When Myotismon vanished, she was left masterless and so she decided to join us. She has spied on you and your friends and now, she will infiltrate you perfectly as your partner in the games. How else did we know where to send Lily Deus to kill you?"
"Veemon, don't trust them. You have to trust me." Gatomon said.
"Yeah trust her and give us more of your secrets." Levi said with a laugh.
"And yes I will admit that you cannot trust us however," Manfred began. "Can you really and truly trust her?"
With that, the two of them vanished leaving a them shocked and angry.
"Look Veemon," Gatomon said extending her paw towards him. "You need to-"
SLAP!
The next moment, Veemon violently swatted her paw away. Gatomon saw his face and it was full of fury.
"How could you...I thought I could trust you!" he yelled.
"Veemon you can trust me." she countered. "They're just probably manipulating us-"
"This whole time, I thought I could call you my friend!" he continued as if she didn't speak. "Now...just...just get away from me!" He began to storm off.
"Veemon wait!" Gatomon said going after him but then, they both blacked out and hit the ground.
Nearby, they teenage boy was watched the whole thing happen hidden from them.
"Oh dear, this isn't good." he said shaking his head.
