DAY 6 PART 1

Lily had received a message that told her to go to the same warehouse where the DL's usually met. The sender was unknown but she went there anyway.

"Alright, where are you?" she asked out loud.

"I'm over here." From out of the shadows, Joshua emerged.

"What, are you a crazed fan or something?" Lily asked.

"No. Sorry but I'm not a fan of you Lily Deus, game master of the second week of the Odaiba Games."

That took her completely off guard. Seeing her shocked face, Joshua chuckled.

"Don't even bother; even if you try escaping into the games, I'll still be able to see you."

Lily growled; a pair of black tattoo wings shot out of her back and her nails became claws. Joshua calmly took out his cellphone.

"Who could you possibly call to help you?" Lily taunted.

Joshua smiled and hit the send button. He looked up and saw a traffic cone appear out of thin air above Lily's head. It fell and conked her in the head.

"Ow! Hey!" she said rubbing her head.

"Get me really mad and I'll make it a car." Joshua said pointing his phone at Lily. He smiled when she growled at him and then pocketed his phone.

"But I'm not here for a fight; I'm here to chat." he explained.

"What could we possibly talk about?" Lily asked.

"Let's talk about you Lily Dues." Joshua answered walking towards her.

"Seriously, that was a close one yesterday. If you hadn't shot Manfred at the last second, we wouldn't be here right now." Veemon told Gatomon when they woke up.

"It was a split second decision. I saw that he was going to block it so I just shot him without thinking." she replied. "I wasn't even sure it was going to hit him."

Beep! Beep!

"Mission's here. Let's just be glad that your such a good shot Gatomon." Veemon said before they looked at their devices.

Defeat the 4 giant Noise wandering around the city. You have 200 minutes. Succeed of suffer erasure.

-the DL's

"Ow!" The timer burned onto their hands.

"Giant Noise? How big are they talking about?" Veemon asked.

Just then, the sound of an elephant's trumpet sounded.

"Looks like we're about to find out." Gatomon said as they ran for the source of the sound.

A few minutes later...

"Wow that's a big Noise." Veemon commented as they hid behind a corner. In front of them was a large light brown elephant with two long and very pointed tusks and tattoo front legs and trunk (a Pachy R & R). It didn't notice them and it was just trumpeting around.

"Hey, there's something under its foot." Gatomon observed. Veemon looked and saw tow shapes under the Noise's front left foot. He could see what it was but he saw two arms sticking our, arms with devices on the.

"Those two are players; they'll be erased if we don't do something." Veemon said.

Gatomon was eying the Noise. "I'll distract it while you get those two out." Veemon nodded and Gatomon ram forward. The Noise saw her and trumpeted but she was already in front of it.

"Cat's Eye Hypnotism!"

Instantly, the elephant's eyes drooped and it swayed from side to side. Seeing this, Gatomon yelled: "Veemon ,now!"

"Vee-Headbutt!"

His hit the Pachy R & R in its front right leg. It lifted its leg and stumbled around for a bit. While Gatomon went after it, Veemon got a good look at the pair under the Noise foot- a Floramon and a Labramon. There was about three seconds of silence where they just looked at Veemon then very suddenly, they jumped up and hugged him screaming: "My hero!"

Veemon was totally confused as the two of them, apparently girls were hugging him and not wanting to let go. They were gently rubbing his chest and shoulders while he just stuttered nervously.

"Wow Veemon, you're so strong and brave." Floramon said. Veemon continued to stutter nervously.

"Uh Veemon, a little help please?" Veemon snapped back to reality and saw Gatomon jumping around trying to avoid being stomped on by the Pachy R & R.

Labramon faced her and said: "Try going under it! He won't be able to stomp you there!"

Gatomon agreed, dodged another stomp and ran under the Noise and fired a Celestial Arrow straight up. The Noise yelled out in pain before dropping itself onto her.

"Gatomon!" Veemon tried to go after her but the two girls held him back.

"Now that she's out of the picture, you got more time with us." Floramon said quietly.

"If she gets erased, I'll be erased too." Veemon reminded.

"...Oh yeah." Floramon realized. She and her partner turned to the Noise pins ready.

"Spiral Flower!"

"Tee Dia!"

Floramon's barrage of flower petals and Labramon's energy arrow struck the Noise in its face but it wasn't destroyed. Veemon freed himself from the girls grip and pointed a pin at the Noise when it gave out a yell of pain as an arrow of light shot out its back. It yelled more as it vanished revealing a panting Gatomon where it was.

"What took you so long?" she sounded a little mad.

"Sorry but these two held me up." he replied jerking his thumb at the two girls who giggled. Labramon blew him a kiss.

"Oh Veemon, you're just too adorable for us to let go." she said as she and her partner held Veemon's arms again.

"I especially loved your winning hit at the game yesterday." Floramon added.

"Hey if I hadn't shot that arrow, none of us would be here right now!" Gatomon said grumpily. Unfortunately, the two girls ignored her.

"Uh look. We've still got three more Noise to take out so we better go." Veemon tried moving away but they kept their hold on him.

"Oh we'll go with you. We wanna see you fight." Floramon insisted.

"Well we could use your help. What do you think Gatomon?" Veemon asked. For some reason, she gave an annoyed grunt.

"I'll take that as a yes so let's go!" Labramon said happily. Nervously, Veemon started to walk, the two girls still clinging to him and Gatomon following while sulking.

The two girls were very annoying. Every few seconds, they would start giggling unnecessarily while batting their eyes. Every time this happened, he would laugh nervously with them. Veemon looked back and saw Gatomon biting her lip apparently trying to not look ahead.

"What's her problem?" Veemon muttered to himself.

"She's probably just jealous." Labramon answered. "I mean, what girl wouldn't be jealous?"

He looked at her again; was that really jealously he was seeing?

But then he saw something else, something approaching Gatomon from behind: a large blue fin gliding on the ground towards her.

"Gatomon!" he shouted.

"What?" she almost shouted.

"Behind you!"

She turned around just to see a huge gray shark with a big blue tattoo fin on its back and two more on the sides of its face( a Fusion Shark) leap at her teeth barred. Luckily, she was able to hit it with Lightning Paw and knocked it away. It sunk into the ground and started swimming around again.

"Vee-Laser!"

The fin quickly dodged Veemon's attack.

"Lightning Strike!"

"Cate's Eye Beam!"

"Spiral Flower!"

"Tee Dia!"

But the fin continued to dodge the attacks. "We have to get it to surface to hit it." Gatomon said.

"Alright. Er, is it true that if you punch a shark in the nose, it'll go away?" Veemon asked.

"I don't know. Why?"

Veemon didn't answer and instead ran forward, the fin heading right towards him. The girls cried out for him to not to but it was too late. The shark's head surfaced teeth barred.

When it was close enough, Veemon aimed a straight jab right at its nose. The Noise flailed away in pain and dove back into the ground but wasn't destroyed. It swam around him and headed for the girls. It jumped at them and Floramon and Labramon cowered.

"Lightning Paw!"

Like Veemon, Gatomon aimed for the nose of the Fusion Shark. Once again, it flailed away and sunk into the ground.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing stealing the spotlight from Veemon?" an upset Floramon asked.

Gatomon turned away from her and went back into the battle "You welcome." she muttered grumpily.

The Fusion Shark jumped up again but before Gatomon or Veemon could hit it, Labramon and Floramon shot it with their attacks. "Did you you that Veemon? Wasn't that cool?" Labramon asked.

"Uh...yeah. I guess." he answered.

The Fusion Shark wasn't finished with them yet. It jumped at Gatomon again and she delivered another Lightning Paw to its nose.

"Good one Gatomon." Veemon said. Gatomon gave a satisfied smirk at the thought of the two girls' faces looked like now.

"All right; this means war!" Labramon shouted and the three girls got ready.

"Um...what's going-" Veemon began but at that moment, the Fusion Shark, taking advantage of his distraction, jumped at him. The girls saw their chance.

"Spiral Flower!"

"Tee Dia!"

"Celestial Arrow!"

All three attacks struck the Noise at the same time; it flashed and vanished into nothingness. The girls turned to Veemon.

"How was that Veemon? Wasn't I the greatest?" Floramon asked.

"Uh..." he said.

"That's it Veemon!" Floramon snapped. "It's time you choose, it's either us or he," She indicated herself and her partner. "Or her." She pointed at Gatomon.

"Simple, I'm with Gatomon." he answered walking over to her.

"What!" the other tow girls shouted together.

"She's my partner; I've got to stick with her and," He paused a little and patted her on the back. "We've been friends much longer than you think-"

"-but she seems to be more than that." he added with a whisper remembering that it was his memories of her that were taken from him. Though he whispered, Gatomon heard every word of it."

"Veemon..."

But Gatomon couldn't say anything after that for Floramon and Labramon tackled her to the ground.
