DAY 3 PART 1

"Aerial Attack!"

"Ultimate Twin Sickles!"

Daemon sighed as he pathetically dodged the two attacks. He jumped into the air and launched Evil Inferno. The Unimon and Snimon he was fighting were engulfed in flames and began to cry out in agony. By the time Daemon landed, they were already erased.

He sighed and flew around the city looking for more players to erase but really, he was looking for Agumon and Biyomon. With them erased by his hand, his revenge against the Digidestined would be complete.

Revenge...That's what's driven him this whole time, revenge against those children and their Digimon, revenge for sealing him away in that wretched Dark Ocean until he was rescued by their master.

It all started during the first week. When Billy told him that the last two Digimon he killed were that of the Digidestined, he remembered the trouble they gave him and was filled with thoughts of revenge. His next move was then to tell Lily to rig the contest for the backstage passes to her concert so she can send their Digimon again into the games.

And now, his revenge was almost complete; he just needs to find two Digimon somewhere in the city and erase them. He set off to do just that.


Biyomon woke up first that morning and was quite surprised to find herself in a bed before remembering that she was taking refuge here with other players. She looked over to where Agumon was sleeping soundly and peacefully. Then she noticed the ticking timer on his hand; she looked at her own timer and thought one thing.

"Five more days..."

She remembered what had happened yesterday more specifically, Terriermon and Lopmon's death. They had died because of these very games she and Agumon were working so hard to end once and for all. These games were dangerous; they almost died again several time now.

Then she realized that if she was erased, she'd be taking Agumon with her and vice versa. This meant that she was as much burden to him as he was too her. Not that she thought of him as a burden; Biyomon was only worried about if he thought of her as one.

Just on cue, he woke up and stretched his arms. "M-morning Biyomon." he said to her.

"Hey Agumon." she said gloomily.

Agumon noticed this and sat down on his bed. "Something wrong?"

"It's nothing really..."

"C'mon, you can tell me." He smiled at her. "We're partners in this thing after all."

She tried smiling back at him. "But that's just it. Listen," She started nervously twiddling the tips of her wings. "I've been thing about what happened to Terriermon and Lopmon lately.

Agumon frowned remembering that sorry incident and Biyomon continued. "It's really scary knowing that if your partner gets erased, you'll get erased too. So that got me thinking...Agumon...Am I just being a burden to you in these games by being your partner?"

Agumon just stared at her completely surprised by her question. He then got up and went over to her.

"Biyomon Biyomon Biyomon." he said shaking his head. "Why the heck would I think that?"

"But if I get erased, I'll be pulling you with me."

"So? Yeah that rule sucks but I don't really mind it much. And to answer your question Biyomon: no, you were never a burden to me. Heck, you saved me back on the first day remember. I haven't thank you yet so...thanks."

Biyomon felt so relieved when she heard this. Before she could say anything however, there was a knock on the door. "Wakey wakey you two, we're having a meeting downstairs." Flamemon's voice said. After Agumon gave Biyomon a friendly pat on her shoulder before they left their room.

The mood downstairs wasn't pleasant; everyone was now slightly tense. With no leads, they still didn't know Goro's hiding place.

"Have you guys searched the whole city yet?" Agumon asked.

"No, not really." Mothmon answered. "Guess we'll have to sweep the entire city then."

Pteramon looked at his timer. "We've only five more days; let's make them count."

They all nodded and left the building. Commandramon hopped onto his partner and flew off saying that they should meet back there at sunset and if they do see Goro, they don't fight immediately. They all agreed on this and went their separate ways.

"Maybe Goro's inside a building or something." Biyomon suggested as they searched.

"But we can't just search every building in the city; that'll take too long." Agumon replied. "We need a good lead to where he is."

"Until then," Biyomon continued. "We'll just have to keep searching."

Then a pair of Wall of Grizzlies showed up. "And taking out Noise while doing it." Agumon added.

The Grizzlies howled menacingly before charging at them. Agumon and Biyomon jumped aside to dodge and then fired their attacks. They were really tough; they took a direct hit from Terra Force and Wing Blade without getting destroyed. They recovered from their hits and lunged at one target each.

The first one slashed at Agumon who ducked and rammed the Noise with his shoulder. It stumbled back a little leaving ample time for him to fire another Terra Force at it.

Biyomon on the other hand took to the air circling around the Grizzly which was growling at her as if it were yelling at her to get down. She launched another Wing Blade at it but it slashed it apart with its claws. It jumped for her but she flew out of the way just in time.

The Noise seemed to be learning from the fight and decided to adapt to their situation. The one attacking Biyomon switched targets and lunged at Agumon. He was too busy fighting the other Noise to notice and ended up getting slashed in the chest.

"Agumon!" Biyomon cried out.

Gritting his teeth, Agumon looked down and examined his chest; it wasn't bleeding but that attack really hurt. The two Grizzlies lunged at him again but were then hit in the back by Biyomon's Wing Blade.

"Hey, you leave him alone!" she shouted this time firing Meteor Wing at them. The attack pushed them away from Agumon.

"You alright." she asked hurriedly running to him.

"I'm fine." he replied recovering from his hit. He then saw the two Grizzlies recover. "They're pretty weak now; we can take them."

"hang on Agumon, there's something I wanna try." Biyomon said before he could attack.

Agumon looked at her confused as she gazed at the Noise and took a few steps closer to them.

"I've been experimenting a bit when I was Garudamon and there's something I wanna check out." Biyomon took out her Garudamon pin and focused.

"Wing Blade!"

She shot out a phoenix shaped bust of flames at the two Grizzlies and it went right through them without them being destroyed. But Biyomon concentrated and, with much effort, she made the phoenix of flames turn around and strike the Noise again. Agumon watched in amazement as she repeated the process over and over until the Wall of Grizzlies finally gave one last howl and vanished.

"B-Biyomon...That was awesome!" Agumon happily exclaimed. She smiled at him but then suddenly fell down and sat on the ground panting heavily. Agumon went in and checked on her.

"It's alright; I'm fine. i just need a little rest first." she said panting some more.

Agumon patted her shoulder. "You did good Biyomon now get some rest and then we can continue loo-"

But suddenly, ten Grunge Wolves appeared and quickly surrounded them. "Crap! Biyomon's still tired!" Agumon thought.

He got up and stood defensively in front of Biyomon. "Hey you mutts!" he shouted. "If you wanna get to her, you'll have to kill me first!"

They continued to circle him like a pack of wolves surveying their prey. Biyomon wanted to get up to fight too but she still needed more rest; Agumon was standing there in front of all those wolves willing to die rather than let them get her. The wolves lunged with claws drawn and fangs barred.

There was a flutter of wings and a flash of steel. In one quick motion, someone flew in at the last second and, wielding twin swords, began doing graceful slashes and stabs. When she was done, she paused for a split second and the Noise vanished one by one.

Her back was turned on them but they could see four wings on her back like an angel. Before they could say anything else, three Death Metal Minks materialized and lunged at her.

"H-Hey, look out!" Agumon shouted but she didn't need to. She dodged the Noise's attacks with ease and delivered three powerful slashes, one to each Mink and destroyed them.

She turned around and Agumon and Biyomon got a good look at her. She had a golden mask that covered the upper half of her face, blond shoulder length hair covered by a red hat which seemed to be connected to a scarf, a gold breastplate, toga and two sword sheaths on her back. Overall, this girl gave an aura of toughness.

"Who are you?" Biyomon asked.

Before replying, the girl sheathed her swords and presented her arm which had a player's device on it. She opened her palm revealing a small gray computer mouse with red eyes and a device around it's body.

"I am Darcmon." she said. "And this is my partner MetalKoromon."
