Gatomon was running toward the restaurant hoping she'd find everyone quickly, when suddenly she felt something stab into her back. She screamed in pain and collapsed to her knees. The pain faded quickly, and she sensed no injury to her self. "What hap-" Gatomon screamed again when she felt something stab into her stomach, but again she sensed no injury. The pain quickly faded. "Those wounds were fatal." Gatomon gasped.
Gatomon started to get to her feet when suddenly a pain so intense she wasn't able to move or even scream course through her entire body. As the pain increased she thought she saw Gaomon's face but it didn't look right. He had a crooked sharp toothed smile and his eyes were two different colors; the right one was red and the left one was green. "I'm back." He said then he was gone taking the pain with him.
Gatomon collapsed gasping for air. "Gaomon." She choked. She was about to blackout when she thought she heard someone call her name.
"Gatomon are you okay?" Gatomon looked up to see Agumon rushing toward her. "What happened to you?"
"I think something's happened to Gaomon." Gatomon crocked close to tears.
"He's probably dead." Renamon said from behind Gatomon.
"How can you say that?" Patamon gasped.
"I can smell his blood from here and there's a lot of it." Renamon said evenly. "But the good thing is either his killers have turned against each other, or a third party is involved because a lot more blood is being spilled as we speak."
"How do you know their not just killing innocent digimon?" Patamon asked.
"Because the bloods tainted." Renamon sighed. "This scent is only in the blood of murderers."
"Then what do we do?" Agumon asked. "Do we let them fight each other, or do we intervene?"
"We have to go, Gaomon may still be alive!" Gatomon exclaimed jumping to her feet.
"We're leaving town, now." Renamon ordered.
"But we might still have a chance to save Gaomon." Gatomon said.
"Well I'm not willing to risk all your lives on a chance." Renamon said. "We're leaving."
"I'm not going anywhere without Gaomon!" Gatomon hissed.
"I'm your leader and you'll do as you're told." Renamon growled.
"Sorry Reny but I have to agree with the kitty." Monmon said jumping onto Renamon's back. And pressing the center of her scar making her go limp.
Agumon seemed to know what was going on because he caught her. "Sorry Renamon, but even if it's only a chance we have to save Gaomon." He said setting Renamon on the ground.
They all looked at Patamon expectantly. "What?" He asked.
"Are you going to help us, or run off and keep yourself out of harm?" Gatomon asked. "We don't care if you leave."
Patamon took a moment to think. "I don't like what you did to Renamon, or even know how you did it, but I'm supposed to help you, so I'm not leaving, besides I like Gaomon too." He finally said.
"Alright then." Agumon began seeming to take on a more authoritive tone. "Monmon you watch Renamon."
"You got it boss." Monmon said lying down leaning his head on Renamon's side.
"Gatomon you know where Gaomon is so take us to him." Agumon ordered.
Gatomon led them to where she left Gaomon and was horrified to see the area covered in brown goblin bodies. "This is worse than earlier." Gatomon gasped. "Before we were just knocking them unconscious, all these goblins are dead."
"But no Gaomon." Agumon observed. He was right Gatomon could see no sign of Gaomon anywhere.
"Wait what's that?" Patamon asked pointing to something small and red at the end of a small alley.
"Oh no." Gatomon gasped. She ran down the alley and picked up Gaomon's shredded right glove. "Gaomon."
"So he is dead." Agumon said walking up to Gatomon.
"He was a vary brave digimon." Patamon sighed.
"You liked Gaomon too?" A voice asked from behind them. Gatomon turned around to see a large purple wolf with blades and spikes growing out of both his fore and hind legs; he had a great white mane and sharp white teeth; bat-like wings grew out of the back of his neck and wrapped around it, he even had spikes growing out of his face covering his eyes; the only thing on him that could be considered clothing were two gold earrings in his left ear.
"How do you know Gaomon?" Gatomon hissed glaring at the wolf.
"I knew him quite personally." The wolf replied smiling. "His blood was delicious."
"You killed Gaomon?" Gatomon exclaimed.
"I didn't kill him." The wolf said. "I just made it so he no longer exists."
"You monster!" Agumon exclaimed.
"I'm not a monster!" The wolf growled. "I'm Sangloupmon."
"I hope you're prepared to die." Agumon growled. He shot a burst of fire out his mouth.
"I've already died once." Sangloupmon growled slicing the fire ball in two. "And I don't plan on dying again any time soon." He added smacking Agumon aside with a single paw. Agumon hit a wall and was knocked unconscious.
"Agumon!" Patamon exclaimed.
"So he still has some control." Sangloupmon mumbled examining his paw. "But not for long." He growled smacking Patamon away.
All that was left was Gatomon. "I'm going to make you pay for what you did to Gaomon!" She hissed jumping at Sangloupmon. He blocked her with a paw and slammed her on the ground.
"You're one spicy piece of meat." Sangloupmon growled holding her down. He brought his head so close to hers that she could smell his breath. "I'm already planning a lot of fun things we can do together."
"I'd rather die." Gatomon spat.
"Don't worry that's on the list." Sangloupmon growled. Suddenly Sangloupmon yelped in pain. Gatomon could sense that it was because something burned him from behind.
"Get off the cat." A male voice Gatomon didn't recognize ordered. "Before I throw you off."
"I'm not giving this up." Sangloupmon growled. "I found it first."
"I knew there was something wrong with you last night but now I see you're a total psycho." The voice said.
"You're the guy from last night?" Sangloupmon asked. "And here I was hoping the monkey killed you."
"What are you talking about, there was no monkey." The voice growled.
"Whatever just get lost before I kill you." Sangloupmon growled. "I'm busy."
"I warned you." The voice sighed. That's when Gatomon felt Sangloupmon's weight lift off her as he was flung through the air. He landed on his back a few feet away seeming too shocked to move. "Now get you idiot friends and get out of her." Said a blue dragon with a white belly and muzzle, red eyes, and a blade like horn growing out of the top of his head; He was wearing a helmet, a chest plate, and blade toed greaves all colored like flames.
"Who are you and why are you helping us." Gatomon asked suspicious.
"I'm Flamedramon we met last night, although I was Veemon then." The blue dragon said. "And I'm helping you because I feel like it."
"Veemon?" Gatomon asked. "But you should still be unconscious."
"I've never been one to sleep when I'm needed." Flamedramon said. "Now like I said, go!"
"Make him pay for what he did to Gaomon!" Gatomon hissed.
"You really are a stupid cat. "Flamedramon sighed. "He didn't kill Gaomon, he is Gaomon."
