Sora had waited for what she thought was forever in that cave, until she decided she had to do something herself. Izzy hadn't returned, and now it was up to her to rescue him and everybody else. A young girl versus an entire army of super powered creatures. That should instill fear in their hearts. She chuckled at that thought, despite the grim situation. She looked up at the black tower in front of her and started to look for a way in. "Now, where is that door?"
"About a hundred meters to the left. But you'll need a keycard to get in."
Sora turned around. "Agumon, you safe!" She ran up and hugged Agumon. "I don't suppose you have a keycard?"
Agumon pointed behind her. "No, but she does."
Sora turned around again, expecting Mimi, Palmon or hopefully Biyomon. Gatomon's smirking face was the last thing she wanted to see. "Agumon what's going on?"
Agumon broke her hug and walked over to Gatomon. "You're a bright girl, figure it out."
Gatomon chuckled at Sora's horrified expression. "Don't worry your pretty little head. He's just under the black gear's influence for the moment." Gatomon licked the side of Agumon's face once; a sight that disgusted Sora but delighted Agumon. "Be a good little reptile and catch her for me. I have business inside." Gatomon grabbed Agumon hand and turned it palm up. A tiny black disc fell onto his palm from her prosthetic limb. "Put this on her crest. And when you do, tell her" Gatomon whispered in his ear hole so that Sora couldn't hear. She was already slowly backing up, ready to run. Gatomon raised her voice so Sora could hear the last part. "And don't hurt her too badly." Gatomon laughed once, then turned and ran to her lair. She had to locate Kari, and find out if she resurrected Biyomon. She had some major damage control to do.
Sora looked behind her, and realized that she didn't have much of a chance of running. She bent down and picked up a stick and waved it around like a baseball bat. It was only Agumon in his rookie form. She took a stick to Phantomon before, an ultimate. "I'm not afraid of you." Gatomon said the gear would wear off, maybe she could keep him distracted until then.
Agumon smirked. "Pepper breath!" A fireball seared towards her, and struck her make shift weapon. The stick broke in two, leaving her holding a tiny charred and smoldering end in her hands. It was then she remembered that when she attacked Phantomon she didn't fare much better.
Agumon rushed forward and landed both feet on Sora's chest. Sora landed on her back, with Agumon's heavy weight on top of her. Agumon grabbed her chain and quickly adhered the crest of hate disc on to her crest of love.
"What is that thing?" Sora asked, trying to shift out from Agumon's mass.
"It's called the crest of hate, cutie." Sora scowled, which was the reaction Agumon was aiming for. "It works just like a black gear, except for humans. All it takes to activates is that you get angry."
Sora took a deep breath in and calmed down. "Then I just won't get angry."
"Well, how about if I tell you you're a little bitch." Agumon smiled.
"Doesn't bother me." Sora took another breath.
"How about if I tell you the fact that you've let your friends down? Hiding in the forest like a coward when Tai left like that." Agumon cocked his head.
"Agumon, I know this isn't you. It's the black gear talking." Sora wasn't angry, in fact she felt sorry for Agumon. He was doing things he would never do.
"Well then, how about this." Agumon paused for a minute to keep Sora guessing. "Gatomon gave me a message to give to you. About Biyomon."
Sora's lower lip quivered. "What about Biyomon?"
"Seems you little bird friend poked her beak into something she wasn't supposed to. Gatomon couldn't allow her to spread her secrets around." Agumon waited for her reply.
Sora just lay there for a second as Agumon's words sunk in. "You're lying!"
"No I am not, and you know it." Agumon replied.
Sora realized Agumon was telling the truth. Gatomon did really delete Biyomon. A wrath filled Sora, more then she had ever felt. Biyomon was dead, DEAD. Her crest turned pitch black. Her fury at Gatomon and Agumon grew, and suddenly she realized she was also enraged at Izzy. Izzy had the power to stop Gatomon! He left her alone and went of with Devimon, and because of him Biyomon was gone forever. The crest drained her positive emotions leaving her rage behind.
"Are we angry now?" Agumon asked mockingly.
Sora wound up and nailed Agumon under his jaw. Agumon rolled head over heels, ending up on his butt in a mud puddle. He grabbed his jaw and cracked it. "Nice left."
"How could you?" Sora shouted.
"How could I what? Why are you angry?" Agumon inquired.
Sora was about to answer because he didn't seem to care Biyomon was gone, but now that the crest of hate had drained her love away from her, she didn't care about Biyomon either. "I don't know."
Agumon got up and pulled Sora down quickly so she was in the mud to. The crest of Hate caused her to tackle Agumon in response. In seconds they were both covered in mud.
The two just lay in the mud puddle breathing deeply for a few seconds. Agumon got up first, covered in head to toe in mud. That's when horror over took Agumon. The black gear had worn off sometime during the mud wrestling. Horror hit him first, but he quickly shoved it down as he realized Sora's safety was his primary concern. "Come on, Sora we've got to get going!"
Sora just mumbled something about him to go screw himself. She was tired. Agumon finally got Sora to her feet. "You'll thank me when that crest finishes." He began dragging Sora away from the tower. "We got to get away from here before..."
"You run into that King of Soul, Master of Melody, Metaletemon? Un-huh." Metaletemon smiled to himself. He ran out here to get away from Izzy, and ran into two prisoners. "A little present to Gatomon."
"Pepper breath!" Fireballs rocketed forth from Agumon's mouth, but splashed harmlessly against Metaletemon's skin.
"I needed to work on my tan, thanks. Un-huh." Metaletemon moved with blinding speed, knocking Agumon out with a quick uppercut. It felt good to finally win a fight for once. He half expected Izzy to show up as he looked around. "Well what do we have here?" He walked up to the muck soaked Sora.
"Eat me, Monkey boy." Sora replied.
Metaletemon laughed. "I see someone got their anti-crest." Metaletemon blew her a kiss. "Normally I would, cutie, but let's face it, you need a good hosing before you can go with the King." Sora didn't see the blow coming as she crumpled to the ground. "But maybe later." Metaletemon laughed again.
"About a hundred meters to the left. But you'll need a keycard to get in."
Sora turned around. "Agumon, you safe!" She ran up and hugged Agumon. "I don't suppose you have a keycard?"
