"Ooooohhhh, my head." Kari sat up on the bunk.
"Kari, don't move suddenly." Tai was there with her, and Biyomon flew just over his shoulder. Tai continued speaking. "You where attacked by Vademon. You've been asleep for hours."
"I'm fine Tai." Kari smiled at Biyomon. "I'm glad to see you're back."
"Thank you, Kari, for restoring me." Biyomon smiled. "Who knew deletion wasn't permanent?"
"Did Gatomon come back?" Kari whispered.
"Sorry Kari." Tai bowed his head. "The computer said the file didn't exist."
Kari started to cry again. "That means she really gone."
"No it doesn't." All eyes turned to Biyomon as she spoke. "If the file doesn't exist in deletion, it means she wasn't deleted." Biyomon cocked her head and smiled. "I guess I've been listening to Izzy too much. Gatomon must be alive, then."
"I am." Now all three turned to the door, with the newly arrived Gatomon standing there.
Biyomon flew up. "Spiral Twist..."
"No, Biyomon! Stop!" Kari ran in front of Gatomon. "Look at her eyes!"
Tai realized Gatomon's eyes where not the blood shot red he saw them last, but her classic sky blue. "Gatomon?" He asked.
There were tears in Gatomon's eyes, "I am so sorry." She ran up to Biyomon and held her wings. "I am so sorry, my master had control of me. I... I... can't believe I would hurt you. My master made me do these things, I can't... couldn't..."
Tai put a sympathetic hand on Gatomon's shoulder. "It's ok, we know Myotismon's behind this."
Gatomon smiled briefly, but it faded quickly. "You know about Myotismon?"
"We do." Biyomon replied as Gatomon held on to her wings. "At least I far as I remember. Being deleted takes a lot out of you."
"That's good, so you'll forgive me for this." Gatomon dug into Biyomon's wings deeply with her claws. Biyomon screamed, shortly before she was hurled against the wall.
"Gatomon?" Kari took a step back. "But, your eyes?"
Gatomon slapped the back of her head and caught two pieces of plastic as they fell from her eyes. When she looked up again, her eyes where deep red. "I can't believe it, the prophesied digidestined, fooled by cheap plastic and some acting." She took a menacing step forward. "I have good news for you, Kari. It seems we need you after all. Now, your brother, on the other hand, we don't need." Gatomon's claws extended on her metal paw.
"Spiral Twister!" Green energy nailed Gatomon in the back. Gatomon executed a perfect flip off the wall and landed on her feet, hurt but not out.
Gatomon sneered. Biyomon's attack had her slightly disoriented. "You're not necessary either, in case you've forgotten. We can't have you telling everyone that Myotismon's back now can we?" Gatomon chuckled, shortly before Kari jumped on her, covering with a thick blanket.
"Run you two, she won't hurt me!" Kari screamed.
Biyomon realized that discretion was the better part of valor. Also the fact that Gatomon would shred them the minute she worked her way out of the thick quilt. Biyomon gripped Tai painfully by the shoulders and pulled back hard, nearly lifting Tai up. Tai reluctantly followed, and they disappeared down the hall a split second before Gatomon freed herself. Gatomon screamed in rage. She sliced Kari across her leg. Kari instantly felt nausea fill her, then blacked out as Gatomon's sedatives took affect.
Gatomon ran down the hall, but Tai and Biyomon were already hiding. She cursed out loud. "Blasted Biyomon!" She cracked her neck and looked back at Kari. "At least I got what I came for."
"Welcome to my lab, Kari!" Gatomon smiled and waved her metallic paw around the room.
Kari shook her head to regain focus. A voice shouted to her right. "Kari, are you all right?'
Kari looked and saw Gabumon was in a clear plastic cell next to her. "Gabumon, you're ok!" Kari exclaimed. That's when she noticed a fourth figure in the laboratory.
Gabumon snarled, especially at the indecencies had been forced upon on him. He had been prodded and examined and his fur removed for hours at a time. "I see you've noticed out captor there." Gabumon snorted.
"We've met." Kari growled. "I though you where deleted."
"Not quite yet." Gatomon's master pressed a few keys. Metal tentacles appeared out of holes in the wall of Kari's cell.
"What are you doing?!" Kari screamed as her arms and legs where suddenly pulled in several directions by the tentacles.
"Just a few tests, be patient." Gatomon smiled
A Tankmon rolled in. It took no notice of anyone else but went straight to Gatomon's master. It mentioned something but was to far away to hear. It seemed to make the master very happy. "Run the tests, my slave. I will return shortly. It seems we have a new prisoner. I will fetch him personally." Gatomon bowed as her master left in a flurry of bats. Gatomon turned and pressed a few keys. Kari glowed bright white. She screamed in pain as she felt electric current shoot through her.
Suddenly an alarm went off. The screen flashed a picture of Biyomon and Tai sneaking down the hall in the direction of the lab. "Looks like company's coming. I guess I'd better get ready."
Tai and Biyomon stealthily made their way into the lab. Tai hoped Kari would have been brought here, and they were right. Kari and Gabumon where both asleep in separate clear plastic cells. Tai was so happy to see Kari safe, he failed to notice the small figure jump down from the ceiling. Gatomon twisted and landed on her feet.
"Did you bring me anything?" Gatomon's claws extended. She rushed forward, Tai jumped out of the way as Gatomon tackled Biyomon. He slid under the desk, and something caught his attention.
Gatomon had Biyomon by the throat with her real paw and held her metal paw inches away from her face to deliver the deathblow. "You think one deletion would be enough for anybody." A sudden blast of energy hit Gatomon square in the back. Gatomon crumbled into a ball as Biyomon threw the cat of her body.
"Nice toy." Tai smiled, brandishing Vademon's ray gun in his grip. Vademon must have left it there when Datamon drugged him.
Biyomon smiled, but the smiled ended quickly when a score of bats flew out from a darkened corner, knocking Biyomon out.
Tai turned around and leveled his newly acquired weapon at the dark corner where the attack originated. He saw a figure in the dim light. "Don't move, or I'll atomize you!"
"Destroy me? The master of all digimon?" The figure chuckled. "You aren't smart enough to work that weapon, let alone defeat me."
"We know who you are Myotismon, come on out!" Tai yelled.
"Myotismon?" The figure laughed. "Why however did you figure it out?"
"It was pretty obvious." Tai leveled his ray gun at the figure. "Biyomon told us how she was attacked with bats, how Gatomon pretended to kill you and make friends with us. How stupid do you think we are?"
"Do you want an honest answer to that question?" The figure stepped into the light. Black leather instead of Myotismon's traditional blue and red garb adorned the figure. A shapely female body came into focus as Tai looked up into red eyes.
"Would you like a second guess to my identity?" Ladydevimon smiled.
"Kari, don't move suddenly." Tai was there with her, and Biyomon flew just over his shoulder. Tai continued speaking. "You where attacked by Vademon. You've been asleep for hours."
"I'm fine Tai." Kari smiled at Biyomon. "I'm glad to see you're back."
