**sees all the readers staring and sweatdrops** Eh heh heh...enjoy! Hey, wait, I just got a great idea!
I looked down at myself as the Taomon outfit replaced my normal clothes. I felt something seeming to flow through my veins as the transformation continued. Of course, increased power. I hadn't thought about that the first time.
When it was done a few seconds later, I faced Toge. She raised her boxed glove and punched me in the face.
"Stupid!" she yelled. "We are going to bring you back with us, as we were commanded to. And there is no way", she faced everyone now, "That you can possibly defeat every single one of us." I grabbed the large paintbrush hidden in my robes, and brandished it at her. "Buddist Brush Brandish!" I yelled. The mark hit her directly in the face, and she went reeling backwards. I stood for a minute completely frozen. Before I could think, I ran up to her before she could fall. She kicked me viciously. I almost fell back myself, but managed to keep my balance. Toge fired more needles at me, but I managed to dodge them just in time.
"Why are you attacking us?" I demanded, not thinking before the words came out of my mouth. Toge glared at me. "We don't have a choice. It's the only way to save our brother!" she yelled. "Brother?" I gasped. Did she mean Grey? They were doing this because it was the only way to save Grey? Of course, I remembered now.
"Then allow me to let you in on something else. What I've shot Grey here with is a sort of tranquilizer. But if you do not decide in 3 seconds, I'll activate the virus inside it to kill him."
Yes, that was right. So the virus still was inside of Grey. Devi had agreed to get the other hybrids to work for him, as he promised he would eliminate that virus. So, he must have told them to capture me.
"Toge, please reconsider!" I yelled. "Yamaki is deceiving you! He'll break his word! Listen to me, Toge!" I pleaded.
"Prickly Bang Bang!" she yelled before I realized what was going on. I was struck with needle after needle after needle. It hurt so much. I think I may have been screaming, I can't remember. There was yelling...Mom, I think. Then I blacked out.
"Kiiroishi!" gasped Reiko as she watched the events unfold. Was he dead? Would he be okay? She'd been such a jerk to him. But he was an okay guy, really. Weird and stupid sometimes, but still, they'd grown up together. Known each other since they were in diapers. He couldn't die!
To her surprise, Reiko felt tears streaming down her face. She wrenched her head up to look at what was going on. Taomon had just struck the girl down.
"Get her, Taomon!" yelled Reiko.
Yamaki scowled. Toge shouldn't have attacked him like that. Now he was going to have to clean up after her, he thought with irritation. Well, at least she had stopped him from attacking.
Yamaki sighed at his sudden thought, then shook his head as if trying to clear it from his mind.
"Of course I'm doing the right thing." he whispered.
He looked at the small device in his hand. Didn't look like much, he thought to himself. But it was supposed to be able to get rid of all data in an area. Perfect. He would be able to get the exact things he needed -- Jenrya and his pet fox.
He hurled it into the air.
Taomon suddenly felt as if she'd had bucket of ice dumped on her. She couldn't move, and it seemed so cold. Then, a sensation like she was evaporating. Disappearing.
She suddenly looked down at herself and found that indeed she was disappearing. In a few moments, she would be deleted.
"Taomon!" gasped Ruki. She was crying. Vainly, she seemed to be slashing card after card. She dropped her D-Arc as she began to sob.
Takato watched in what Taomon thought was stunned disbelief as Ruki sat crying next to him.
Reiko wore an expression of shock on her face, tears still running down it.
"Taomon!" cried out Growlmon as he ran towards his old friend, hoping he could stop whatever bad thing was making her leave.
Jenrya...he was shaking, then he turned away. He couldn't watch any longer. He didn't want to believe...couldn't...
And Kiiroishi had still not come to, and had no idea of what was happening.
