I don't own the Loud House or Digimon.
Well guys I'm back with another chapter and I gotta say that I didn't expect so many of you to want lemons in this story. So when the time comes, I will be adding them. I'll be changing the rating to M so that it fits with the new direction that we're taking. I was already planning to imply the lemons and near lemon scenarios but now I'll just add them. I already got a few ideas about who's going to get the Lincoln Log first. Feel free to guess who.
Also we're reaching the end of the Luna, Sam, Clyde, and Lynn arc. We got about 3 more chapters before we get to what happened to Leni. if all of remember, she got kidnapped at the end of her ten day trip with Lori. I've had what happened to her already written up and set aside. I just gotta type it. Once the Crests arc is over, the story will continue with the defense of File island which should last about 7 chapters. After that we're heading towards the Continent of Server. That's where we start to get into the more interesting scenes in terms of battles.
I'll be having group visit Piximon in his desert oasis and go through the trial that he had Tai go through on his adventure. I have special plans for that when the time comes. But enough about that, enjoy the chapter.
The Digi-Loud Adventure
Chapter 21: The Coela Beach Temple
Clyde was sitting down at a table while Wormmon ate some chips with salsa. He had already changed into a wetsuit and was now waiting for the girls to get ready. And since Lincoln had told him that ladies tended to take their time to get ready, Clyde decided that now was a good time to call his best friend.
"Hey Lincoln, how's it going?" Clyde asked once the male Loud answered the phone.
"Clyde! It's good to hear from you." Lincoln said. "We're making our way towards Factorial town. We should be there by tomorrow. What about you?"
"We made it to the beach already. We're about to go to an underwater temple!" Clyde said, sounding excited.
"You mean..." Lincoln could tell why his friend was excited.
"Yup! It's gonna be like when Ace Savvy and Jack went to the lost city of Atlantis to stop the Card Shark from stealing the trident of Spades from Goffish, king of Atlantis!" Clyde said, speaking rather quickly from excitement.
"Aw man! You're so lucky! I wish we could've gone together, partner." Lincoln said.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures." Clyde said. "But there is one other thing that I wanted to tell you."
"Oh? What's that?"
"Lynn has been asking me questions about...that." Clyde told him.
"..." Lincoln was quiet for several moments before he spoke. "What did you tell her?"
"Nothing. You know that I would never betray your trust." Clyde said.
"Did she try to force it out of you?" Lincoln asked, concerned about his friend's wellbeing.
"No but I could tell that she wanted to." Clyde said. "But, Lincoln, don't you think that you should talk to them about it? I mean, Lynn looks like she's really broken up about this."
"I'll think about it, Clyde. But now's not the best time." Lincoln said and Clyde could hear a bit of an edge on his tone. Whatever happened between them must've been big if Lincoln still hadn't forgiven them. But while Clyde didn't know the whole story, he knew enough to trust his best friend.
"You know that I got your back no matter what, partner." Clyde said. "And while I agree that something must be done, don't you think that maybe you're taking this a bit too far?"
"Clyde, you're the only one I can trust with this. If you think that I'm going too far then I'll think about it. But for now I'm staying on this course." Lincoln told him. "Besides, it's not like they're going to ask me about it anytime soon. They haven't noticed the whole last year that I've been keeping my distance from them. And to be honest, that just confirms what I already knew..."
"What's that?" Clyde asked.
"That they don't really care about me. After all, you'd think you'd notice when your only brother was no longer around." Lincoln said, sighing on the other end of the line. Clyde could hear the sadness in his friend's voice and his his heart ached for his best friend.
"You know that's not true, pal. Lynn was telling me about how amazing you are as a brother." Clyde quickly told him. "She was telling me how much she loves you for spending time with her."
"I'm sure she just meant that she likes to use me as her punching bag." Lincoln said, dismissing his friend's claim.
"No, pal, I'm telling you, Lynn loves you a lot." Clyde tried to argue in his new sister's defense. "I could tell that she admires you greatly from the way she spoke about you. It actually made me jealous that you and I aren't brothers because I'd love to have one as great as you."
"Awe, Clyde, I've told you before, we are brothers." Lincoln told him. "There's no one I'd rather have at my side than you, partner."
"Thanks, Lincoln, that means a lot." Clyde said as he began to tear up again. He always got so emotional when it came to stuff like that. Dr. Lopez had already tried to help overcome his issues about believing his wasn't important enough to matter. But Lincoln always knew what to say to help remind him that he did matter, that he did belong.
"No problem, Clyde. But it looks like I'm gonna have to cut this talk short. We're about to take another break and it's my turn to cook." Lincoln said.
"Alright, pal, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Clyde said.
"Laters, Jack."
"Laters, Ace."
And with that Clyde ended his call to his best friend and turned just in time to see Lynn walk out of the changing room with a strange expression on her face. She looked as though she had been crying but also looked really happy. Whatever it was, Clyde was sure that it was one of those things that he wasn't supposed to ask about.
"Hey, sis, you ready to head out?" He asked as she neared him.
"I'm more than ready, bro." Lynn said as a fire erupted in her eyes.
Clyde could tell that Lynn was ready to take on the world. "Glad to see that you're looking forward to it then. Personally, I never liked the water too much. I can't really see for one thing."
"Don't you wear goggles underwater?" Lynn asked him.
"Yea but the visibility isn't that great either way." Clyde told her. "Everything is blurry for the most part. I'm sure that I'll enjoy it once we reach the temple."
"Speak of, loves, are ya ready to head down to the pond?" Gomamon asked as he appeared behind them, causing them both to jump a bit.
"Um...yea." Lynn said as she quickly calmed herself. "We're just waiting on Luna and Sam to kiss and make up."
"Did something happen in there?" Clyde asked.
"Let's just say that Luna needs to understand that women aren't just prizes to be won." Lynn said as she chuckled over the way Luna was getting grilled in there.
"But...isn't Luna a girl?" Clyde asked her. "Why would it be a problem for her to make the comparison? It's not like Lincoln or I said it."
"You make a good point, Clyde, but unfortunately for Luna the Blonde in question doesn't seem to care who made the comparison, only that it was made." Lynn told him. "Anyways, here they come now."
And they were indeed making their way over as Luna and Sam walked over hand in hand towards them. It seemed that Sam was happy again since she was all smiles when she approached them.
"Is everything alright?" Clyde asked them.
"Couldn't be better!" Sam beamed as she ruffled Clyde's hair. She then made her way over to her partner who was eating (no surprise) with the other Digimon and patted his head.
"What did you have to do to get her to stop being mad?" Lynn asked her sister in a quiet whisper so that Clyde wouldn't hear.
"I...uh...promised her that I'd get Linc to give her a massage just like the ones he gives you." Luna whispered back. While Lincoln gave all of the Loud sisters massages from time to time, only Lynn ever received full body massages since she needed to be relaxed after some of her intense games.
"Dude...if Linc does that to her then I don't see how you're ever going to compete for her affection. His fingers are magic." Lynn told her.
"Actually, speaking of magic fingers, how does the little man react when he sees your 'O' face?" Luna whispered as she remembered that Lynn had mentioned something about that.
Lynn's face turned beet red before she bolted out of the restaurant and made her way straight towards the ocean. Luna had to admit, Lori was right. It was fun to mess with your younger siblings.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ikkakumon, the Champion form of Gomamon, stopped about two hundred yards away from the shore. They were surprised that the little white seal could Digivolve on its own and become a massive sea animal that looked like a cross between a walrus and a polar bear. Ikkakumon had shaggy white fur that made it easy to grab onto and a large horn on its forehead that looked dangerously pointy.
"Alright, loves, take a deep breath. We're gonna have to dive for this bit." Ikkakumon told them. He waited a few seconds before diving below the water and propelling himself straight towards the bottom as fast as he could.
They were going so fast that they couldn't see anything aside from rushing water and bubbles. Luckily it only lasted a couple seconds since it wasn't that far down. Ikkakumon reaches the temple and entered from a chamber near the bottom that was leveled out so that it created an air pocket and prevented the water from spilling in.
"Alright, We're here!" Ikkakumon said as he stopped by the edge of the entrance.
They all took a second to get their bearings again before looking up in wonder at the chamber they were in. The temple was made out of a light blue stone that made it look almost like they were standing in a room full of water. The floors had a slight darker shade of blue that grew lighter as it neared the walls similar to how the ocean was darkest at its depths while lighter near the surface. All throughout the walls torches lit the rooms and they could see that the chamber they were in was large enough to fit an entire football stadium.
But as they all looked around, Clyde was the first one to notice that there were watery footsteps on the floor next to them.
"Um, Ikkakumon? Is there supposed to be anyone else in here?" The young boy asked.
Ikkakumon looked down at the floor and frowned. "Mate, the only ones allowed in here are the ones I allow." Ikkakumon said slowly as he began to get out of the water. "Who ever came in here is about to learn what a bloody mistake that is, that much I assure ya."
They followed Ikkakumon through the temple as they made their way towards the center. All along the walls there were murals that were built into the very temple. Depictions of battles between monsters that they had never seen before were displayed, each telling a story that they couldn't read. But they had little time to look at these as Ikkakumon rushed on ahead in order to apprehend who ever had broken in.
And as they neared the heart of the temple, a room that had several large staircases that led to the upper and lower levels, they saw who had broken in. There were several of them, all around the same height about five feet tall. With stout bodies and lanky limbs, the blue and white Digimon didn't look very threatening. They had webbed ears on the tops of their head and a scuba tank on their backs. They each wielded a harpoon in their hand that served as their primary weapon.
"Divermon! What the bloody hell do you think you're doing here!?" Ikkakumon bellowed, startling the Divermon.
"Ikkakumon! What are you doing here?" one of the Divermon said as they all turned to face the walrus like Digimon.
It was clear that they didn't expect anyone to be there aside from themselves. They all looked nervously at the large Digimon despite having him outnumbered.
"This is my temple, I'll thank you to get your arses out before I turn you back into Digieggs!" Ikkakumon growled. "This ocean is Neptunemon's domain and your master has no claim to anything that resides here!"
"Ha! That's what you think. Lord MetalSeadramon is pushing back against Neptunemon and soon all of the Digiworld's oceans will belong to him." One of the Divermon said.
"And since Neptunemon is busy fighting against Leviamon, he's powerless to stop our Lord from taking over his territories." Another said.
"And since you're too busy guarding this dump, he's got no one powerful enough to help him." Another said, taunting him.
"Well it's a bloody good thing that today's me last day watching this temple then." Ikkakumon said, confusing them all.
"What do you mean?"
Ikkakumon nodded to the DigiDestined behind him. "They're here for the Crest that I'm sure you were attempting to steal. Once they get it, I'll go and help Neptunemon since thanks to you morons I now know that he needs help."
"They're DigiDestined?" one of the Divermon asked.
"They're finally here?"
"We have to inform Lord MetalSeadramon!"
"You'll be doing nothing of the sort, mate." Ikkakumon said. "If any of you tries to get past me, I'll gut you like the fish food that you are."
"Then it's a good thing we brought back up!" One of the Divermon said. In his hand he held a walkie talkie and he placed it next to his mouth. "MegaSeadramon, operation Flood is a go."
Just then a shudder was felt throughout the temple. Then another. And another.
"What the bloody hell are you doing?" Ikkakumon demanded. "Are you trying to bring the whole thing down on our heads?"
"No, we're just gonna poke a few holes and drown the DigiDestined before they can get to the crest."
"Bloody hell!" Ikkakumon turned to look at Lynn, Clyde, Luna, and Sam, "I hate to ask this, loves, But you're gonna hafta fight these morons while I go and fry some bigger fish."
"Don't worry about us, we got this." Lynn said as she and Guilmon stepped forward.
"You go and do what you gotta do, man. We can handle this." Luna said.
"Please just make sure that we don't all drown down here." Sam added.
"Wormmon, are you up for a fight?" Clyde asked his partner.
"I've been waiting for this since we left." Wormmon told him. He had felt bad that Guilmon had done most of the work so far. He wanted to prove to Clyde that he wa worthy of being his partner and his friend.
"Alright, loves, I'll leave you to it." Ikkakumon said before turning around and heading towards the exit.
"So are you guys gonna fight us?" One of the Divermon asked the group.
"You bet your as we are!" Lynn said but she was then bopped on the head by Luna.
"You mean that we are." Luna said as she motioned towards herself, Sam, and Clyde. "You're going to take Guilmon and go find your crest."
"Oh right. I forgot about that." Lynn chuckled as she scratched the back of her neck. "Come on, Guilmon, let's go."
"Hop on, Lynn!" Guilmon said as he lowered himself a bit. Once Lynn had jumped on, he turned towards the Divermon and grinned. "This is gonna be fun!"
"Do you honestly think a rookie can get past us?" One of the Divermon asked.
"Watch me." Guilmon said.
The red Digimon sprang forward like a rocket, closing the distance between them in a matter of seconds. The Divermon braced themselves as they expected the dumb rookie to try and power his way thru. What they did not expect was for Guilmon to slam his tail down on the ground and use it to give him an added boost to his jump to clear them in a single bound. They stared dumbfounded as Guilmon and Lynn landed ten feet away from the nearest Divermon and then proceeded to speed off up one of the stair cases.
"Well I'll be, he did get past us."
This caused Luna and Sam to burst out laughing as they stared at the dumbfounded Digimon watch as Lynn and Guilmon continue to make their way up the stairs.
"Well I guess a rookie can get us, who knew?" A Divermon said.
"Should we go after them?" Another one asked.
"Probably." One agreed.
"But what about them?" One asked, pointing towards the group that remained.
"Let's handle them first." Another said.
"Sam, can I Digivolve now? I want to show these guys how hard I can rock out!" Agumon said as he threw up the goats.
"That's fine by me, little dude." Sam said.
"Miss Luna, would you like it if I rocked out as well?" Gabumon asked.
"You know it." Luna grinned.
"Are you ready to deal out some justice, Jack?" Wormmon asked his partner.
"Of course!" Clyde said, looking please that Wormmon called him Jack. It was just like when he and Lincoln would solve crimes together.
Agumon Digivolve to...Greymon!
Gabumon Digivolve to...Garurumon!
Wormmon Digivolve to...Stingmon!
As Greymon and Garurumon stood ready to fight, they eyed the newest champion to join them. Wormmon's Champion form, Stingmon, was as tall as ExVeemon but shorter than Greymon and Growlmon. He had a humanoid shape despite appearing like an insect. He had dark green exoskeleton with dark grey armor on his forearms, shoulders, thighs, and ankles. He also had four insect like wings on his back.
"Whoa! That's so cool!" Clyde couldn't believe his eyes. His partner looked like an insect assassin. He half expected a large butterfly or something but this was way better. "Show then what you're made of, Stingmon!"
"With pleasure!" Stingmon said as he and his fellow Digimon charged in to attack.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lynn followed her Digivice's direction and had Guilmon run almost to the very top of the temple. They were going so fast that everything was a blur for her and she didn't really pay attention to her surroundings. She trusted that Guilmon would be able to avoid any obstacle.
Every few moments she could feel the temple shake from both the battle inside and the one outside. But even so, Lynn stayed focused on her mission and that was to retrieve her crest. She idly wondered what her crest would be? Luna said that hers was the crest of Honesty so that meant they were probably based off of a trait they showed in spades. Well for Lynn Loud Jr. it would have to be something awesome like determination, strength, confidence, or power. It certainly wouldn't be something mushy like kindness or love. Hahahahaha that would be lame.
As they entered the final room, Guilmon stopped by the entrance as they stared at the obelisk in the center of a circular room. The room had several portraits of a Digimon Lynn later would learn was Neptunemon but that wasn't what caught her eye. No, it was a vibrant red crystal that hovered in the middle of the room placed above the obelisk that was made entirely out of sand.
As Lynn dismounted off of Guilmon, she couldn't help but notice that the crystal began to glow as she got near it. Her Digivice felt warm in her hand and she knew at once that this was definitely her crest. The red color was also a dead giveaway since it was her favorite color. She walked towards it and didn't say a word as she reached out for it. The crystal glowed brighter with each step she took and when she was about to reach it, the light was almost blinding.
She placed her hand on the crystal and she felt it change from a prism to a tag and crest. As she opened her eyes to stare down at the crest in her hand, she somehow already knew the name of her crest. The tag that held the crest was gold in color while the crest was the same red as her favorite jersey. On the center of the crest there was a symbol of a heart engraved there.
"The Crest Of Love..." Lynn couldn't believe that she had received such a terrible crest. It had to be a mistake. It had too!
"Lynn, are you okay?" Guilmon asked her when she hadn't moved in over a minute.
"I'm fine, pal. But I think Jijimon made a mistake." Lynn told him as she turned to face her partner.
"Why's that?"
"Because he gave me the crest of love. There's no way that such a mushy and girly trait could be mine!" Lynn said, glaring at the crest in her hand.
"Well why not? Don't you love Lincoln?" Guilmon asked, placing a single claw to his chin in confusion.
"Of course I do! But that's not the point!" Lynn snapped. But she quickly apologized and took several deep breaths to calm down. "It just that I don't think I'm capable of using this crest when being all lovey isn't exactly my strong suit. I'm not one for being soft and gentle, that's more Leni's thing."
"Well I think you're soft and gentle." Guilmon said as he nuzzled her cheek with his nose. "And I'm sure that you can use this crest. After all, you're Lynn Loud."
"Heh, thanks pal." Lynn placed her hand on Guilmon's head and gave him a gentle rub. "But enough about that, let's go help the others."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Clyde watched alongside Sam and Luna as they partners took on the Divermon. There were only about five of them but according to his Digimon Analyser App, the Divermon were Ultimate level Digimon that specialized in water combat. Luckily for them, this fight wasn't in the water.
Garurumon lunged the group causing them to scatter. That was when Greymon charged at two of them and Stingmon targeted another. The Divermon attempted to stab him with his harpoon but Stingmon was able to easily dodge it. Stingmon was honestly surprised at his new found agility. As Wormmon he knew instinctively that he could Digivolve but he hadn't been sure into what. But now as Stingmon, his instincts guided him through all of his movements, allowing to sidestep with ease as two Divermon attempted to stab him.
Stingmon spun on his heel and brought his knee into the first Divermon's face. Then he brought his foot down on the head of the second one as he tried to make another stab. The two Digimon might have been ultimate level Digimon but they were clearly outmatched by Stingmon.
"Whoohoo! Way to go Stingmon!" Clyde cheered for his partner. He had been watching the entire time and he was pleased to see that his partner was able to handle himself in a fight.
"This is getting us nowhere." One of them said.
"We just need to pin him down to the floor." The other said.
"Or get him to stand still..." the first said as he looked over a Clyde.
"That could work." The second agreed.
Then as the first charged at Stingmon, the second charged at Clyde. Stingmon saw what was happening and he knew that he had to protect Clyde no matter what. Cocking his fist, he lunged toward the first Divermon and from his right forearm a glowing purple spike protrude outward and tore through the Divermon. Stingmon didn't even wait for the body to dissolve as he rushed over to the second Divermon. He flapped his wings as hard and fast as he could to shorten the distance between them.
Clyde could only see the Divermon coming closer as he stumbled backwards. As the Ultimate Digimon raised his harpoon above his head, Clyde saw its expression turn from one of anticipation to horror in split second. Then the Digimon began to dissolve into data. And right behind where the Digimon once stood was Stingmon in a lunging position with his right arm stretch out and his purple spike still in the place where he pierce the Divermon's heart through the back.
Clyde looked at what his partner had just done and suddenly turned to the side and began to empty his stomach. His partner had just committed a murder. He felt sick and he couldn't get over the fact that he had done something like that in front of him.
"Clyde, are you alright?" Stingmon asked as he knelt beside his partner. As he tried to reach for the boy, Clyde flinched and that caused Stingmon to stop. "I'm sorry you had to see that."
"You...killed him." Clyde's voice was barely above a whisper but Stingmon could hear him just fine.
"I killed them." Stingmon corrected.
Clyde then looked around and saw that the other one was missing as well.
"Clyde, I'm sure that this must come as a shock to you but in battle, we Digimon will be forced to kill one another. It's part of our way of life." Stingmon said gently. "I know that what you just saw must have been horrifying but if you are to survive in this world then you must come to accept this as part of life."
Clyde was hyperventilating as he listened to his partner. He couldn't accept it at he told him as much. "How can you ask me to be okay with murder!?"
"Clyde, we Digimon are always reborn when our bodies are destroyed. We are reborn in Primary Village and for most of us, we remember our past lives." Stingmon explained. "I'm not asking you to be okay with it. In fact, I'd rather you never have to witness me fight again. But if you want to help your friends then you have to muster up your courage and fight."
Clyde looked up at his partner's red eyes and he could see that Stingmon was being honest with him. That helped calm him somewhat. His panic attack began to subside and he was able to calm his breathing.
"Can...can you protect them?" Clyde asked his partner.
"Believe in me and I will." Stingmon said.
Clyde stared at his partner as he tried to come to grips with just happened. Stingmon stayed knelt by his partner's side and ignored all else. He wanted to convey to his partner that he would do anything for him. That no matter what they faced that they could and would do it together. Clyde saw all of that in his partner's eye and he could feel their bond strengthening.
"I believe in you." Clyde said as he slowly got up on his wobbly knees. He took two shaky steps towards his partner and stumbled into his open arms. "I believe in you." He repeated but this time the damn broke and as his emotional walls crumbled, Clyde sobbed into his partner's chest. "I-I b-believe in you!"
Clyde kept repeating those words, each time he latched onto them with everything he had. Because in this brutal world it was the only thing he could believe in. The only thing that gave him comfort where he used to get it from his dads and Dr. Lopez. His partner's words were the only thing that he could grasp to help him get through this ordeal. Because without them, Clyde was sure that he couldn't go on. And that scared him more than he could ever admit. Because he knew that he wasn't as strong as Lincoln. He could never be as strong as his best friend. Without Stingmon at his side, Clyde couldn't go on.
"Whoa, Clyde, is everything alright?" He heard Sam ask somewhere close by.
"He just witnessed me kill another Digimon." Stingmon explained.
"Dude, that's messed up." Luna said. "But he's gotta understand that if we don't defend ourselves then we're the ones who are gonna get deep six'd."
"But Luna, he's just a boy." Sam said. Sam had known Clyde for a long time and she knew all about his insecurities and sudden anxiety attacks. For someone like Clyde to be brought into this brutal world, it was like leaving a baby to fend for themselves in the wilderness. "We should have left him back at the restaurant."
"Nah, babe. He would've been exposed to this sooner or later. Sometimes it best just to rip off the bandaid." Luna said. "Besides, he's gotta understand that not everything is gonna be like in the Ace Savvy Comics. There's isn't always going to be a happy ending."
Sam was quiet because she knew that Luna was right. But she had hoped to shield the younger boy from the horrors of war. But it must've been a naive dream for her to have.
"Guys..." they heard Clyde's muffled voice. "I don't want to fight anymore." Luna and Sam shared a look, both silently agreeing that that was probably for the best. But before they could say anything Clyde spoke up again. "But I will. Not because I have to but because Lincoln is counting on me to be by his side. Just like Ace counts on One-Eyed Jack. I'm gonna fight because I want to protect my family."
Clyde then turned to face them and even though they could see how terrified he still was, Clyde still gave them a watery smile.
"Well, Jack, I'm sure that Ace would be glad that you have his back." Sam told him. "I know that I sure am."
"Me too, Bruh." Luna agreed.
"Thanks. But I gotta throw up now." Clyde then turned around and threw up on the same spot he had before.
That was the sight that Lynn was greeted by, Greymon, Garurumon, Stingmon, Sam, and Luna all standing around a vomiting Clyde.
"What the hell is going on?" Lynn asked as she dismounted Guilmon.
"We-" Luna began but stopped when they heard a loud boom followed by a steadily growing rumbling sound.
"Lynn, there's water coming right at us!" Guilmon shouted as the roar of rushing water grew louder.
The top of the temple had been pierced and now the ocean was rushing in to crush them beneath its might. And as they all ran towards the exit they could only hope that they could make it before they were trapped underwater.
End of chapter.
What did you guys think? I wanted to portray the fact that they are killing and that not everyone is okay with it. Clyde, Leni, and Lori are the ones I see as having the hardest time dealing with this fact. I've already established that Luan sees it as a calculated part of her plans. She basically detaches herself from the situation and accepts it with cold logic instead of emotions. Lincoln knows that it must be done but he only does it as a last resort when all other options are exhausted. Luna and Sam are in the mineset that if they don't fight back then they'll be the ones to die. They're not okay with it but they will do it in order to survive. Lynn is probably the one who easily accepts it. But only because they are threatening her friends and family. She's a protector and she will do anything to keep them safe. That doesn't mean that they will all just kill a Digimon without feeling sick about it. But it helps to know that the Digimon don't really stay dead. They do get reborn after all.
Clyde will struggle with this in the future but soon something will happen to help him overcome his unease. Some of you can probably already guess what I have planned but I want to try and keep it a surprise.
I'll see you guys next weekend. Till next time.
