Digimon: End Game

Gabumon did not fare well while he was escaping. He ran in a crowd of Geckomon and Otamamon. While he was more powerful than any one of them, a large group was more than he could handle. They attacked him from all angles, knocking him to the ground. Just before he succumbed to the attack, he felt the strangest sensation of being lifted up and towards the heavens.

"Gabumon…"

Gabumon opened his eyes. He saw blurred-feathered wings in front of him. "Am I deleted?" He whispered. "Are you an Angelmon?"

The figure chuckled slightly above him. "No, not even close."

His eyes focused in front of him letting the figure take shape. "Biyomon! I'm glad you all right!"

Biyomon smiled at him. "I was more worried about you. Luckily I ran into you in the fog, I managed to fly us out of there. If I was even a few seconds later…." she stopped afraid to finish the sentence. "You took quite a beating. You where wounded all over your face, stomach and back."

"But how could you see my face and back?" Gabumon reached behind him and was shocked to feel the complete absence of fur. His pelt had been removed to dress his wounds!

Biyomon continued talking, "I know, I had to take it off to see if you where all right. It was weird, you had all these strange symbols on you…" but Gabumon had grown enraged and stopped listening. Removing a Gabumon's fur without permission was the worst insult imaginable to human or digimon. He threw on the fur pelt over his back, the turned and faced Biyomon.

"HOW DARE YOU!" He took a step towards Biyomon, who had stop talking when she saw an enraged Gabumon walking towards her. "How dare I what?" she squeaked out.

"YOU KNOW WHAT!" Gabumon grabbed Biyomon by the shoulders. Biyomon pushed him off, causing him to fall over. Gabumon jumped up, "Why you pink little bitch… BLUE BLASTER!" A blue stream flew from his mouth; Biyomon barely had time to counter with her own spiral twister. A small explosion filled the air as the two blasts collided. Biyomon lost sight of Gabumon in the smoke for a brief instant, but caught sight of him when came barreling out of the fog. He tackled her and they both went rolling down a steep embankment, landing in a lake at the bottom.

They both sank into the lake, wrestling. Biyomon pushed away with her taloned feet, and let out another spiral twister. Gabumon was blown out of the water and landed on the bank.

Gabumon, wind knocked out of him, came to his senses as he gasped for breath. "I'm sorry Biyomon. I...I don't know what came over me. It's just that removing my fur, well…Biyomon? BIYOMON!" Gabumon looked around, Biyomon had not surfaced from the battle. She had not had enough air to swim after using her spiral twister and had sunk to the bottom.

With a new sense of energy, Gabumon jumped back in the water and swam down. Just as he was about to tun out of air, he saw a gleam of light. Biyomon's leg ring was reflecting the sunlight, as she lay unconscious, allowing Gabumon to find her. Gabumon swam as fast as he could, grabbing Biyomon by the neck and rocketing to the surface. Just as he felt his lungs ready to explode, he broke the water's surface, sweet air filling his lungs.

Gabumon quickly dragged Biyomon's motionless form to the beach. "Biyomon! Wake up! He shouted into her ear, but she didn't respond, in fact Gabumon realized she wasn't breathing! Gabumon panicked. "What am I going to do?!" He shouted in panic. Then he remembered when he and Matt where watching TV, they're was some show on about a boy saving a girl's life with something called CPR. Gabumon hoped he could duplicate the results.

Grasping the back of Biyomon's neck and tilting her head up, Gabumon wrapped his lips around Biyomon's beak and blew. He then placed his hands on her chest and pushed down hard three times. He repeated this for two minutes when suddenly, a stream of water came shooting out of Biyomon's mouth as she coughed violently. She weakly pushed herself up with her wings and looked at Gabumon.

A smile broke across Gabumon's face when he realized that she was alright, but it quickly passed when he remember that he was the one that almost killed her. He turned away and began to walk away in shame. Biyomon placed a wing on his shoulder as he turned around. "Gabumon are you alright?"

This made Gabumon even more ashamed. Biyomon was still worried about him even after he savagely attacked her. Biyomon continued speaking, "I am so sorry! I knew you didn't like having your fur off, but I wanted to see if you where injured."

Gabumon fell to his knees. "Biyomon stop! I nearly killed you! You where trying to help me and I paid you back by attacking you, and your still worried about me!"

"Well it was partly my fault." Biyomon put her other wing on his other shoulder. "I didn't know you've never removed your fur before."

"I am sorry." Gabumon breathed out. "About what I did."

"I am too." Biyomon chirped out. "We shouldn't talk about it anymore, we have to find our friends."

Gabumon nodded in exhausted agreement. They both got up and washed themselves off in the water in front of them. The whole time she was cleaning herself, Biyomon had a few questions about what was under Gabumon's pelt. She could have sworn that she had seen the symbols somewhere before…
