Author's Note: If your'e wondering, this chapter is based on that one episode with Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon (Night on Town...or something like that). I'm sorry, but I don't remember the exact title of that episode. Well...read and review...and ENJOY!
Chapter Four:
A Flower for the Pretty Lady
It was late evening in the bustling Odaiba city, where Kyle and Eddie have wondered around for hours trying to figure out what to do, or try to find out where the digidestined might be. The children also had to move cautiously, because Myotismon could be anywhere, watching them; not to mention Myotismon's henchmen that might be roaming around the city and other places. At the moment, Kyle and Eddie are walking on a sidewalk, trying not to run into the people that were quickly walking by. Kyle wondered why everyone was in such a hurry this late at night, but then again, no one really wants to be in the city when it's dark out. The two stopped at a street light and waited for the cars to pass by them so they could cross to the other side. The air in the night sky was pretty cool, so she was glad she still had her jacket on. As Kyle looked around, she could see some stores starting to close, and casinos opening up, with their neon lights blaring in peoples eyes. When she looked straight ahead, it seemed that the cars didn't want to pass by, and that the crosswalk light would never turn green for her.
Eddie tugged on Kyle's sleeve. Kyle looked down at her young brother and said, "What is it?" Eddie pointed up and she titled her head to see what her brother wanted. Kyle gasped. She saw one lonely rain cloud in the sky, with no other clouds even remotely by it. She knew that it must be Myotismon, for he sometimes travels the city by storm clouds. Kyle quickly grabbed Eddie's arm and they both went up against the walls of a store; hiding under a canopy.
"What gonna happen if he finds us?" Eddie wondered, his voice trembling slightly.
Kyle sighed softly, "He wants me, not you, Ed..." After a few minutes, the storm cloud eventually passed. Kyle and Eddie gave a sigh of relief and gazed towards the crosswalk light to see if it turned green yet. It did, so the two quickly made their way to the edge of the crosswalk and crossed the street with the other rushing and passing people. As Kyle and Eddie made it close to the center of the street, the girl caught sight of two strange looking creatures walking by her. She just had to get a better look at them for they appeared tobe very familiar. What she happened to see was a creature to be made of rock and the other a pumpkin; the odd beings happened to be skipping across the street to the other side. Kyle's mouth was left agape in shock, for she knew who they were. "Oh my God, it's Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon!" She said almost nonchantly, as if she's seen them before. When watching the first season of digimon, Kyle had always liked the two strange and funny digimon creatures: Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon, because she thought they were very cute looking.
Kyle was so stunned by the two digimons appearance, that she didn't hear the distant voice of her brother screaming, "Kyle! Get off the street!" Eddie was already on the other side when he called out to his sister. Kyle's head suddenly snapped back to reality and now started to panic when she saw the rushing traffic coming at her; the crosswalk light had now turned red, and the traffic light green! She panicked badly, but was paralyzed with fear to move, and the cars didn't seem to care if they ran over the girl or not. Just then, Kyle was swiftly dragged off the road and onto the crosswalk, but at a different end.
Kyle frantically looked around for her savior, but gazed down and saw that her hero was none other than the digimon Pumpkinmon. "What were you thinking teenager?" Asked the sarcastic Pumpkinmon, "Do you wanna get squashed by those cars or something?" Kyle was too stunned to say anything, or even thank the pumpkin digimon for rescueing her.
Gotsumon, who was right next to Pumpkinmon, said, "Good thing Pumpkinmon here tripped, or he wouldn't have turned around and saw you!" Suddenly, Gotsumon's eyes widened as he got a better look at Kyle. "Wait a minute -- a teenager! Quick! Let's hide or run somewhere while we still got the chance!" He then prepared himself to take off somewhere.
Pumpkinmon quickly grabbed Gotsumon's arm and stopped him. "This teenager is different from that other one with the 'thing' in her nose -- hey, wait a minute..."
Kyle blinked as Pumpkin eyed her oddly. "What?" she said, who was also looking at the digimon suspiciously. Pumpkinmon went into a pocket (which Kyle would of liked to know where the heck a pocket could be on him) and took out a small picture of a girl. "Hey! That's me!" She sounded startled by this, and wondered just how many pictures Myotismon had of her.
"I thought you looked very familiar," Pumpkinmon said seriously, putting the picture back in his pocket, "You're the girl that Myotismon wants to marry!" Just then, Eddie had already crossed the street and stood next to Kyle; too shocked to say anything to Pumpkinmon, Gotsumon, and even his sister!
"You're gonna take me to Myotismon now, aren't you?" Kyle asked depressingly. She knew she couldn't struggle much against the powers of the digimon.
Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon shook their heads and grinned happily. "Guess again!" They sang in unison.
Kyle and Eddie just looked down on the two digimon with confused, but odd expressions on their faces. "Huh?"
Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon posed happily together. "We don't wanna bring you to Myotismon," Pumpkinmon stated, still in that happy pose of his, "I've heard you're not like other teenagers. I think you wouldn't have fun anymore if he married you."
"Yeah, so we're gonna take you out on this town instead!" Gotsumon added happily.
Kyle and Eddie turned to look at each other. "So..." Kyle began, looking back at the two digimon, "You're saying that you just want to have fun instead of turning us in?"
"Sure!" Gotsumon squealed, "Me and Pumpkinmon just love to have fun! That's the whole reason why we signed up to be in Myotismon's army!"
Pumpkinmon then grabbed Kyle's hand, while Gotsumon took a hole of Eddie's. "Come on! Lets skip down this stone crosswalk!" Said Pumpkinmon excitedly.
"Uh...skip?" Kyle questioned Pumpkinmon, not sounding happy about what she and the others were about to do. After all, she hadn't skipped in years.
"Yeah -- come on! It'll be fun!" Gotsumon reassured her, and with that, they all started to skip straight down the crosswalk. Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon were smiling happily, along with Eddie who was just so excited to be with cool digimon. Kyle still thought it was weird for herself, being eightteen and all, to be skipping down a crosswalk with a kid, and two digimon that were about the size of a young child. Down the crosswalk, the four skipped by people who stopped and took glances over their shoulders just to see who would do something so bizarre this late at night. Kyle knew the people thought she and the others looked very strange.
At the end of the crosswalk and up to the traffic lights and rushing traffic, everyone stopped to catch their breath. As Kyle seemed to be getting back her share of oxygen, an older man coughed, trying to gargle his voice, "Stupid, Halloween costumed kids." Kyle watched the older man pass by and thought just how rude he was for saying that. She had to admit: she actually liked skipping with the two digimon and her brother. Kyle had a wry little smile on her face thinking about it.
"Hmm...what should we do next?"Pumpkinmon asked, thinking out loud. He turned to Gotsumon for suggestions.
"Hey, look at those lighted boxes!" Cried Gotsumon excitedly, pointing to the traffic lights. The traffic lights in front of them had just turned red, meaning they could cross the street if they wanted to. "Lets play on those!"
Right before Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon could do anything, Kyle snatched Pumpkinmon's arm and said, "You shouldn't do that, you might get hurt; and besides that, the people here are going to get mad at you for playing on those."
Pumpkinmon gazed up at Kyle and smiled innocently, "Don't worry, we won't hurt anyone or cause trouble," he patted Kyle's hand gently for reassurance and went off with Gotsumon to play on the traffic lights. Kyle was stunned at what Pumpkinmon just did. She never had anyone pat her hands or looked at her like that.
"Kyle, they shouldn't be doing that," Eddie stated worriedly, pointing up at the traffic lights and to the two digimon who were jumping on them. The two humans watched the light constantly go from green to red, and red to green. Kyle gasped. She and her brother saw the cars stopping abrubtly on the road because of the traffic light incident. The people in the vehicles got out and searched around to see who's causing the chaos.
"We've got to do something," Eddie mumbled in a panicked tone. Kyle sighed, and she and her brother slowly made their way to the street so they could try to be close to the traffic lights. The two couldn't reach the lights, for they were high off the ground, and they wondered just how the two small digimon could get that high up. Then again, they were digimon, and with them, anything is possible.
"You guys get down from there!" Kyle called up sternly to the two digimon. She felt very embarrassed by this, because she really didn't want people to know that she and Eddie knew the two digimon.
Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon stopped jumping and peered down, grinning happily at the two humans. "Why? We're just having fun. We're not hurting anyone or anything," said Gotsumon disappointingly.
Kyle gestured to the crowd of angry people and shouted back, "But these people don't like it. You two should come down before they get more mad at you."
The two digimon looked passed Kyle and Eddie, and at the angry mob of people now glaring up at them, as if they wanted to kill Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon. "Fine, we'll come down now," by Pumpkinmon's tone, he sounded slightly disappointed. As he was starting to climb down, he slipped and was now falling at a great speed. Kyle gasped, and so did a few other people. Without hesitating, the girl quickly got in the spot which Pumpkinmon was about to crash onto, and she caught him. In the process, they both fell to the ground pretty hard. Pumpkinmon was still in her arms as he gazed up at her with wide eyes. "You...you saved me..." he said softly. He still couldn't believe that Kyle rescued him.
Kyle roughly got up off the ground and put Pumpkinmon down, "Well, I like you and Gotsumon a lot. I don't want anything to happen to you two." Pumpkinmon's cheeks turned pink after hearing that.
Gotsumon ran up to the two and panted, "We gotta go! These humans are coming after us!" The angry mob of people were now walking quickly towards the four. Kyle knew that they were after the two digimon. Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon grabbed Kyle and Eddie's hands and they all ran off in a different direction and away from the angry mob; across some streets (j-walking, as some put it) and far away from the traffic light incident. After running for a long time, the two digimon spotted a park where they all walked over to, and rested their tired legs and such. The park had a very clean, and beautiful landscape; Kyle didn't see any sign of litter anywhere. They all sat on a bench to catch their breath.
"Wow, that was fun!" Said Gotsumon happily, and still panting heavily.
Kyle began to examine the surroundings of the park. This particular park didn't have a playground or anything fun of the sort; just narrow sidewalks that would twist and turn in weird ways to other ends of the place, and there were lots of trees here that basically obscured the sky if one was to try and look up. Across from the bench the four were sitting on, there are small stores that seemed to be open this late at night. Pumpkinmon also saw these small shops and began to think. "Hey Gotsumon, come here..." The two digimon hopped off the bench, and Pumpkinmon whispered something to Gotsummon. Kyle and Eddie looked at each other and wondered what the two were up to this time.
Kyle looked down on the two digimon with a curious look and wondered, "Uh-oh... What are you two planning now?"
The two digimon turned around and gave Kyle innocent looks. "We're up to nothing bad, teenager," said Gotsumon, grinning at Pumpkinmon now.
Kyle rolled her eyes. "My name is Kyle. Kyle, so quit calling me 'teenager'."
"And my name's Eddie!" Eddie piped up.
Pumpkinmon chuckled, "Well...Kyle. Eddie.We'll be right back..." Then the two digimon dashed off to the small stores across the street from the park.
Kyle and Eddie immediately got off the bench and called after them. "You two, get back here!" Kyle hollered out, but it was no use, the digimon were too far away to hear her. Even if they did, they would just pretend or ignore it. Kyle sighed and plopped herself back down on the bench. Eddie did the same, for there was no point in standing. After a little bit of time went by though, the two trouble-making digimon came out of a floral shop and continued to run across the street to the human kids, who wondered what they were doing within the short time.
"We gotta go!" Pumpkinmon declared somewhat to the kids, and he grabbed Kyle's hand, while Gotsumon grabbed Eddie's hand and took off through the park.
"Oh no...what did you guys do now?" Kyle asked irritably. "And why in the heck did you go into a flower shop anyways -- and can we stop running now?" All four were running past the park and into the busy city once more, but this time they actually stayed running on the crosswalk and not going across the streets for even more trouble. After a while, Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon let go of their hands as soon as they hit a narrow and dim lighted alley. While the two digimon panted, Kyle gazed down on them and crossed her arms. "How many times are you two going to cause trouble?"
Pumpkinmon began to speak defensively, "But we didn't cause trouble -- well...at least not big trouble like before..."
"All Pumpkinmon wanted was to get you flowers," Gotsumon added, looking back at Pumpkinmon.
"Flowers?..." Kyle searched around the two digimon. "I don't see any flowers."
"Well...I did have some," said Pumpkinmon shyly, "But a human in that place grabbed most of them from me. This is the only one I could save..." and out from his pocket, he gave Kyle a beautifully bloomed daffodil. "A flower for the pretty lady."
Kyle was stunned by this, but still accepted the flower from Pumpkinmon. Eddie grunted in disgust. "Why...why would you go through all that to get me a flower?" Kyle asked quietly, turning the flower slowly in her hand.
"Because I like you, and I think you're one of the prettiest and nicest human girls I've ever met." Said Pumpkinmon, his cheeks turning red this time.
Kyle looked back at Pumpkinmon, "You...you think I'm pretty?"
"Well sure, you're not ugly, and Gotsumon doesn't think that either." Pumpkinmon replied. Gotsumon nodded in agreement. Kyle almost blushed red at that; no one has ever called her pretty before, and even though it seemed silly, she actually felt special at the moment. Suddenly, all four of them heard the roaring of thunder above. They all looked up and gasped at what they saw. The storm cloud that Kyle and Eddie had try to avoid before, was now above them. She wanted to run, but she knew it seemed futile to escape Myotismon. A huge lightning bolt had shot to the ground, a couple feet from where they all stood. Everyone squinted their eyes at the blinding light the bolt made -- and, when that light fadded, Myotismon appeared in its place.
"Mah...Myotismon..." Said Gotsumon and Pumpkinmon slowly in unison, their voices quivering with fear. Eddie just whimpered and hid partially behind Kyle, while the girl herself was too frightened to do anything. Myotismon's pale blue skin seemed to glow in the moonlight, and the long black cape flooding behind him... Those eyes...those cruel blue eyes that seemed like they could peer right into someone's soul.
Myotismon slowly shifted his eyes from the two human children to his goofy henchmen, who were dumb-struck by his sudden appearance. "What are you doing here?" Myotismon snarled to Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon. The two digimon still just stood there; too shocked to say anything. "Instead of terrorizing this world, I find you here having fun with these humans..." Then his eyes caught sight of the daffodil that Kyle was holding. "...and giving flowers to my bride..." Kyle shuddered slightly when Myotismon called her 'my bride'.
"Bu-but boss!" Gotsumon almost pleaded.
Myotismon now glared back at his two henchmen. "If you two wish to continue to serve me and not to be punished for your inappropriate behavior, then you better bring me that girl and the boy..." He briefly gestured his hand to Kyle and Eddie.
Pumpkinmon and Gotusmon stood up straight and replied in unison once more, "No problem, boss, that's just what we were about to do." Now the two digimon turned around and grinned evilly at the human kids. Kyle and Eddie looked at them even more frightened, especially the girl who couldn't believe Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon would do this to them.
"Please don't..." Kyle begged frighteningly to the two digimon. Myotismon's mouth slowly curled into a menacing smile; enjoying the fear that had risen int he children. Kyle hesitated as what to do, but she then took Eddie's hand tightly and ran off in the opposite direction from the three evil digimon. Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon began to chase after them. The children were running across streets and partly on the crosswalks; most of the cars had to jerk to a stop, for they didn't want to hit the kids. Kyle and Eddie could hear the citizens cursing and screaming, but the kids were too frightened of Myotismon and his henchmen at the moment to care what other people were saying.
"Why are they chasing us?" Eddie cried to Kyle, and his legs were starting to tire from the running.
"They're too scared of Myotismon to try to go against him..." Kyle panted back to her brother. As they were still running down a crosswalk, passing the rushing and shocked people, Kyle noticed a long, narrow T-shaped alley to the side of them. She quickly took a sharp turn into the alley and stopped. "I...think we lost them..." said she, putting her hands on her knees to try and catch her breath.
"Think again," said Gotsumon boldly, who appeared on the other end of the alley. Eddie whimpered in fright.
"Hey! Where the heck did you come from?" Kyle wondered out loud.
"Aren't I amazing?" Said Gotsumon somewhat sarcastically, "And now you guys are coming with me!"
"We're not coming with you!" Kyle retorted, trying to sound brave. "Come on, Ed, let's turn around and try to lose him..." But as the kids turned around, Pumpkinmon suddenly appeared there and blocked the children's way out! Now they had no escape out of the alley.
"We're sorry you guys..." said Pumpkinmon, not sounding as if he was really sorry. The two kids slowly backed up into the center of the T-shaped alley, with the digimon following slowly after them. "But orders are orders...you understand?" All of them kept on backing up into the center, but eventually stopped since there was no point in continuing to do so. Kyle and Eddie just looked at Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon with frightened expressions, while the digimon kept their menacing looks. Pumpkinmon sighed and let go of that evil expression. "I give up... I can't go on with this..."
"Yeah...me too," said Gotsumon, agreeing with his friend.
"Huh?" Both Kyle and Eddie were confused by this.
Pumpkinmon approached Kyle and Eddie, "Myotismon is scary and very strong but...you guys are our friends -- and pretty cool ones! We don't really want to give you to him; you guys would be miserable!"
"But...how can we trust you?..." Kyle asked the digimon a bit nervously.
"'Cause we're going to protect you two from him!" Pumpkinmon puffed out his chest to make himself more -- uh, 'mon' like, "And we're serious about that. We will not hand over our friends that easily." Kyle smiled weakly at Pumpkinmon, and the little digimon did the same. Unfortunatley, the moment was ruined when the four heard thundering nearby. They all looked up and saw that one lone storm cloud hovering over once more. "Uh oh, Myotismon's coming!" Cried Pumpkinmon, looking around the corner from the center of the T-shaped alley.
"You two should stay here," replied Gotsumon.
Kyle quickly grabbed Pumpkinmon's arm to stop him. "No, you can't! Myotismon will kill you and Gotsumon!" She sounded awfully worried.
Pumpkinmon turned around and held Kyle's hand. "Everything will be okay, you'll see..."
"Bu-but, how do you know that?..."
"If anything happens to us, we won't forget you. We never forget who our friends are... If anything happens...we won't forget...our friends," Pumpkinmon managed to form a small smile on his face. Kyle's lip quivered a little, and she didn't want Pumpkinmon to let go of her. She wanted him to stay so she knew he would be safe...but the digimon did let go unfortunately...
Kyle and Eddie stayed put, while the two digimon went around the corner and waited for Myotismon to show up. Moments later, from a lightning bolt striking to the ground, Myotismon appeared. He looked around the two digimon and down the T-shaped alley. "Where are the children?" He asked Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon impatiently.
"They're...um...we lost them," Pumpkinmon mumbled, shifting his eyes to the ground.
"Yeah, but we almost had them boss!" Piped up Gotsumon, trying to sound hopeful.
Myotismon frowned down at them and scoffed, "Hmph...'almost' is not going to cut it for you two. You had your chance to redeem yourselves, and now you'll face the consequences for your failure..."
Kyle clutched the flower that was still in her hand. "No..." she almost wanted to cry.
While holding his cape out, Myotismon cried out his attack, "GRISLY WING!" Out from it, Myotismon's bats began to flutter and glide over to the two poor digimon, who were suddenly overwhelmed from the population of the bats.
"PUMPKIN SQUASH!" Cried Pumpkinmon.
Suddenly, a giant pumpkin appeared over Myotismon's head. The evil vampire just grinned, and then some of the bats that surrounded Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon were now flying to the giant pumpkin. Myotismon's bats had eaten the pumpkin in a matter of seconds.
While Myotismon snickered at the digimons failed attempt to stop him, Gotsumon growled and cried out his attack, "ROCK FIST!" Myotismon actually gasped as he saw a bunch of small, but good sized rocks flying right towards his face. Luckily for him, his bats blocked the attack, and now, the little creatures were overwhelming the two digimon once more.
Kyle peeked around the corner slightly to see what was happening to them. She wanted to breakdown and cry, for she saw the two digimon screaming and crying in pain by Myotismon's bats. The bats were bitting and knawing at them viciously. Eventually, all that was left of Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon, was an axe and a good sized rock. Myotismon chuckled nastilly, "Well, that wasn't very difficult. How foolish of them to try and protect you!" Myotismon saw Kyle looking at him. He smiled evilly and slowly started to head her way. Kyle gasped quietly and slowly started to back up.
"What happened? Where are Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon?" Eddie asked, starting to panic as he followed his sister.
Kyle tried so hard to hold back her tears as she said, "They're...they're dead..."
Eddie backed all the way to the end of the T-shaped alley. Kyle turned around and looked at Eddie. She really didn't know what to do, for there was nowhere to run to.
Suddenly, from behind her, Myotismon snatched her arm and spun her around so that she was facing the evil vampire. Kyle whimpered and gasped frightened, struggling a little against him, but she knew it was pointless since he was much stronger than her. "I've finally found you once more..." Myotismon said in triumph, and with his other hand he slowly brushed it against Kyle's cheek. The young girl shuddered and jerked her head so she wouldn't have to look at him. The vampire smiled and brought his lips to her ear and purred, "You will marry me, and I will make you mine, my dear...along with those powers that are somewhere inside you..." Kyle groaned slightly and looked at her brother, and saw the most horrified expression on his face. Myotismon chuckled in his throat, for he knew he had got what he really wanted...at least, for that moment...
"Gabumon...digivolve to... GARURURMON!"
Myotismon spun around, "WHAT?" All of a sudden, Garurumon pounced on the digimon vampire, throwing him to a wall; Myotismon released the girl before the impact, and Kyle was glad for that. Eddie screamed and quickly ran up to his sister; in shock just like she was.
"Kyle!" Kyle turned to her left and saw Matt and T.K. running towards them. "Are you all right?." Matt asked with great concern.
"I'm...I'm fine..." said Kyle quietly, and then she saw Myotismon punching Garurumon away from him.
Myotismon floated towards the top of the alley and called out his other attack, "CRIMON LIGHTNING!" And with that, a long, red glowing whip came in his hand. He thrust the weapon forward and it wraped around Garurumon's limbs. Kyle, Eddie, Matt and T.K. quickly went out of the alley to get a better view of the fight. Unfortunately for the four humans, Garurumon was starting to lose the fight, for Myotismon kept bashing the poor beast against buildings.
Kyle looked at Matt's Crest of Friendship, that hung around his neck. "Come on Matt, make that crest glow so your digimon dude can digivolve higher!"
Matt's eyes widened at Kyle, wondering how she knew that. "I can't just make this crest glow! It only glows for true friendship!"
Kyle looked at Matt angrily and with some tears in her eyes, "Myotismon killed our friends; digimon friends that tried to protect me and my brother from Myotismon getting to us! If what they did isn't enough friendship for you -- and look at Garurumon fighting! He's battling for you, Matt! To protect you and everyone else around!" Matt's mouth was left agape, but then his crest started to glowed brightly.
"Garurumon...digivolve to... WEREGARURUMON!"
Weregarurumon pounced off a wall and headed straight for Myotismon, who was still floating high in midair. Myotismon's eyes widened as he was thrown into the wall of a building behind himself; Weregarurumon stayed by the vampire to try and pin him there. Myotismon grunted as he put his boot up to the beast's chest and pushed him away. The people who were in the streets and on the crosswalks stopped to observe the fight between the two digimon. Their screams and frantic cries could be heard from afar.. if other people were listening.
"CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" Bellowed Myotismon, and yet again, he wrapped his whip around Weregarurumon and brought the beast to the roof of the building where the vampire was just pinned too.
"Oh no!" Matt cried.
Myotismon grinned evilly when he brought out another whip in his hand. Weregarurumon growled loudly in pain as he was being whiped continuously by Myotismon.
"This is all my fault..." T.K. sobbed. Kyle and Eddie turned to look at T.K. "If I wasn't mad at Patamon awhile ago, he wouldn't have runaway from me, and he would be here right now to help Weregarurumon..." Then, T.K.'s eyes widened and took his digivice out of his pockets. The digivice shook in his hands. "P-Patamon?" T.K. and the others searched frantically around themselves to try to find Patamon; when a digivice goes off, that means that the digimon are about to digivolve (but you already knew that, right?)
"Patamon...digivolve to... ANGEMON!"
Matt and T.K. started to smile as they gazed upwards to see Angemon flying over them; staff in hand, and heading towards the evil vampire, who was still whiping Weregarurumon. Myotismon was so caught up with the torture, that he didn't notice Angemon coming for him. When Myotismon heard Angemon cry out angrily, the evil digimon quickly turned around and dodged the angel's attack; in the process, Myotismon had to let go of Weregarurumon. Angemon made sure that Weregarurumon was alright, and then, they turned their attention to Myotismon, who was looking at the two good digimon angrily.
"Yeah! It's Angemon!" T.K. squealed happily.
Matt smiled as well. "At least we don't have to search the city for Patamon anymore..."
Angemon and Weregarurumon nodded at each other, and then they went after Myotismon. Myotismon was starting to tire from this battle, and he knew he was going to lose, since Angemon came to aid now.The vampire grunted and tried to block all the attacks that Angemon and Weregarurumon were throwing at him. "Agh...I am going to take my leave from here!" Growled Myotismon, "But this isn't the end, you digidestined! I will find the eighth digidestined child, and I will marry that girl! Once I become even stronger, this world will be mine in a matter of days..." Myotismon laughed evilly and flew off into the night sky. Angemon and Weregarurumon started to float slowly down to the ground, un-digivolving back to their rookie selves. When they landed just a few feet away from the T-shaped alley, Matt and T.K. rushed to their digimons sides, while Kyle and Eddie just slowly followed.
"Gabumon...are you okay?" Matt asked softly, helping Gabumon to his feet.
"I'm fine, Matt; just a little tired...and sore," Gabumon replied exhaustedly.
"I'm sorry I made you mad, Patamon," T.K. said apologetically, taking up Patamon in his arms, "I don't want to fight anymore, 'cause I don't want you to runaway. You're like a best friend to me, Patamon."
"T.K. ...," said Patamon quietly, his eyes starting to close slowly, "It's alright... I forgive you..." T.K. hugged Patamon close to him, and while he was doing that, Kyle turned around and slowly walked back to the T-shaped alley. Matt glanced over his shoulder to see what she was doing. As the girl approached the edge of the alley, one of the petals from the daffodil Kyle was still holding broke off and flew away slowly into the night air.
"You...you saved me..."
"I like you and Gotsumon a lot. I don't want anything to happen to you two."
Kyle stopped walking when she stood around the area that she believed Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon were killed. She placed the flower to the ground and clutched her hands together tightly. A few tears came forth and rolled down her cheekcs.
"Flowers? I don't see any flowers."
"Well...I did have some, but a human in that place grabbed most of them from me. This is the only one I could save... A flower for the pretty lady."
"They must of been really good friends," Matt said softly, who walked over to Kyle. "I wish I could of met them and see just how nice they really were..." He slowly placed a hand on Kyle's shoulder for comfort.
Kyle wiped the tears from her eyes and headed back to where T.K. and Eddie are. Without looking at him, Kyle questioned quietly, "What do we do from here?"
"Well...I think you and your brother should come hide out in my dad's appartment for awhile, at least until Myotismon's destroyed or something. Other then that, we have to get on the subway train and take T.K. back to mom..." Matt replied, scratching his head. Kyle sighed, but then everyone started to walk slowly down the crosswalk. As they passed by some people, they kept grumbling about kids in stupid costumes, which they were refering to Gabumon and Patamon.
"Gabumon..." Kyle looked down at the digimon, "Will -- I mean, when digimon die...do the ever come back...and, do their memories get erased?"
Gabumon looked up at Kyle with a quizical expression. "They come back as digi-eggs, and hatch as babies, but they will never forget the lives and the memories they once had -- so no, digimon will never forget who you are..."
"Everything will be okay, you'll see..."
"Bu-but, how do you know that?..."
"If anything happens to us, we won't forget you. We never forget who our friends are... If anything happens...we won't forget...our friends."
Kyle sighed depressingly once more and gazed up at the stary night sky, and as she did, she saw two shooting stars go across. She will never forget those brave and fun digimon that tried to protect her and her brother.
