Sora was checking on all the patients. Biyomon was by her side, handing her
bandages and blankets. In the short time she knew this pink-feathered
digimon, she had become a close friend. Sora had told Biyomon feelings she
kept from Gabumon, and Biyomon had confided in her all that has happened to
her over her life, especially the last few rocky days. Sora didn't
understand what a digidestined was, or how she was supposed to me one, but
she believed this bird digimon.
Gabumon tried to help Sora, but the humans recoiled in horror. The other patients barely tolerated Biyomon and Gomamon; they would not stand for a new digimon face. Sora felt so sorry for Gabumon, who tried not to take it personally. She didn't know of a gentler, kinder creature. Gabumon just took to the corner with Gomamon, trying not scare anybody else.
Gabumon's attention turned to the door when they came flying open. "Lillymon, welcome." The greeting died in his throat when he saw she was holding the slumped forms of Davis and TK.
"What happened?" Biyomon cried. "Who attacked you?"
Lillymon smiled as she dropped the two forms to the ground. Her flower cannon formed in her hands as she pointed it straight up. She fired a blast straight up into the ceiling. Rubble came down as a hole opened up. "Everybody out!"
"Lillymon what's going on?" Gomamon's eyes were wide in surprise.
"Clearing out the riff raft." Lillymon moved her cannon down pointing to the sick patients. "Now everybody leave!"
"But most of these people can't walk! They're sick and injured!" Sora was almost in tears.
"And anyone who's left in two minutes won't be able to breathe, let alone walk." Lillymon answered coldly. She stared down at her three former friends from File Island looked up at her in horror. Sick and injured people ran and hobbled out in terror, supporting the ones whom could not move on their own; running was second nature to all of them by now. Lillymon grabbed Sora's by the shoulder as she began to leave, and threw her to the ground. "Not you. You stay."
Biyomon finally regained her senses. "Lillymon, why are you doing this?"
"She's not your friend anymore." TK slowly got up, fighting off the effects of Lillymon's sleep pollen.
"Far from it as a matter a fact." Davis got up unsteadily with TK.
"Quite right." Lillymon bowed. "You can call me Epsilon now."
Horror filled Sora, Gabumon, Gomamon, and Biyomon as they realized she was a Council of Five member. "But you are our friend!" Biyomon choked out.
Lillymon shook her finger left and right. "Uh-uh. Former friend. I hang out with much more influential digimon now." She pointed to the lock down room, used for people when the spires take over. "Everyone in except TK and Davis."
Gomamon bit his lip and walked in front of Lillymon. "You won't hurt us."
Lillymon bent down. "And how do you know that?"
"Lillymon listen to me!" Gomamon begged, holding her hand with his flippers. "You were are friend on File Island. I know our pal Palmon is still in there, and we're still here for you no matter what you have done. We all love you Lillymon."
Lillymon stood up slowly. She seemed speechless. "Oh my.What have I done?" Everybody looked at Lillymon. Gomamon let a smile cross his face. Lillymon looked down at him. Then she laughed. "Was that the reaction you were hoping for?" She kicked out with her foot, catching Gomamon under the jaw. He flew into the room, the padded wall saving him from more serious injury. "Anybody else want to try?"
"Blue Blaster!" Blue fire shot from Gabumon's mouth.
"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon flapped her wings, and a tornado of green energy sailed forth.
Lillymon moved gracefully out of the way, almost if she was dancing. "Oh come on now. I thought you'd try harder to talk to me before attacking." Lillymon grabbed Biyomon's leg, and threw her into Gabumon. The two sailed into the room, landing on Gomamon who was just starting to get up.
Sora turned to run, but Lillymon grabbed her by her hair. Lillymon held her mouth close to Sora's ear. She whispered quietly so no one could hear but Sora, "I think you need a better class of a friend. Because of him, you are most likely going to die soon."
Lillymon chuckled as she saw Sora face grimace with anger. The spires quickly took over, just before she shoved Sora into the sound proof room. Lillymon shut it and smiled to herself. "Just to keep it interesting in there." Lillymon placed her finger on her chin. "But I just can't help feel like I'm forgetting something." Her wings flapped suddenly, and she shot straight up into the air. TK and Davis sailed under her when they tried to group tackle her from behind. Both boys flew into the door roughly. Lillymon smiled evilly. "Now I remember!" She grabbed TK and Davis by the throat. "Now maybe I can have a little fun while I'm waiting."
Veemon woke up on the roof. He tried to move, but couldn't. He opened his eyes, his vision partly obscured by flowers. He was completely shrouded in Lillymon's flowers, which tied him to the roof. (How many times am I going to fall for the same trick?) Veemon thought to himself. (You'd think after Lillymon shot you the first time you'd realize she was one of the bad guys. How could I forget that?) Veemon sighed. At least things can't get any worse. A blast of energy sailed from the floor underneath him just a little to the right. A little closer it would have surely deleted him. As it was it was enough to toss him like a limp rag. The first thing Veemon thought when he regained his senses was NEVER EVER SAY THINGS CAN'T GET WORSE! Veemon continued lecturing himself as he weakly stood up. He realized he was free, the blast disintegrated his bonds. He looked down the hole several stories down, and could just see Lillymon's form. She currently held TK by the neck, and seemed to be stringing him up by flowers. Veemon breathed in and out. (You're badly hurt. She's an ultimate digimon. You can only digivolve to armored champions, and that was if Davis was here. A smart and sensible digimon would run and get help.) Veemon jumped down the hole to the next floor. (Too bad I'm not a smart or sensible digimon.) Veemon continued jumping from floor to floor as quietly as possible.
Lillymon had Davis and TK strung up by flower boas. Their hands were attached to the ceiling and their feet to the floor. "Bring back memories of when I had you captured in my biodome Davis?" Davis tried to answer, but Lillymon slapped him across the face.
"Why don't you go kiss a Sukamon!" TK answered for him.
Lillymon floated over to TK. "Come on, I mearly a misunderstood lady."
"Don't you mean villian?" Davis retaliated.
"Po-ta-to, Po-tah-to." Lillymon smiled at TK on the lips. TK just growled. "What's the matter? The whole tricking you thing still ticking you off?"
"TP!" Davis screamed. "How could you fall for that!"
"Calm down Davis. I didn't know she turned into this." TK growled.
Lillymon flew back over to Davis. "He's right. He thought I was just like that goody two shoes Lillymon from your world. You should be careful who you trust." Lillymon was right under the hole in the roof she made, right under Veemon.
"BANAZI!!" Veemon yelled as he jumped down from the hole, aiming his feet at Lillymon's head. Lillymon's hand shot out, nailing Veemon right between the legs with a palm strike. Veemon's eyes doubled in size. TK and Davis looked away as Veemon fell of the ground and clutched between his legs, both boys just hurting from seeing that display. Lillymon bent over Veemon's jackknifed form. "Not too swift. Shouldn't have called out like that." Veemon tried to say something, but was in too much pain. "OOhhhh that's got to hurt."
"Veemon, get up!" Davis shouted.
"Come on Veemon, get up." Lillymon stood up and winked at Davis. "I could use a bit of exercise."
"Sorry Davis." Veemon got to his feet, fighting the pain in between his legs. "But she won't get me again. Now that you're here Davis, I have a fighting chance."
"Get him Veemon. Digi-armor energize!" Davis shouted.
"Veemon armor digivolve to. RAIDRAMON!" Veemon shouted. "Huh?" He looked down at himself, still in his rookie form. "All right then lets try Veemon armor digivolve to. FLAMEDRAMON!" Veemon opened his eyes and looked up at Lillymon, who stood a good three feet taller than him. "What's going on? Why can't I armor digivolve?"
Lillymon slowly waved a device back and forth in her hand, showing it to Veemon. It was Davis' organizer with his digi eggs in it. "Did you think I'd let Davis keep this with you tied on the roof?" Lillymon kick Veemon under the jaw, just enough to send him stumbling back. "I wasn't made a Council of Five member just because I'm unbelievably beautiful."
"Vee Headbutt!" Veemon charged forward. Lillymon moved swiftly to the right, forming a flower rope with her hand. She caught Veemon around the feet as he continued his trajectory. Veemon snapped back, and Lillymon threw him into a wall. Veemon grunted in pain as Lillymon quickly tied him to the roof so he was hanging upside down up his feet.
"Now then." Lillymon tied Veemon hands together. "I was about to start the interogation, and I am so glad you decide to join us Veemon."
"Leave him alone!" Davis shouted, growing angry. The spires took over him as he thrashed at his bonds. "I'LL KILL YOU!" "My my, such harsh words." Lillymon hovered back to Davis and clamped a hand over his mouth. "Maybe I should kill you in front of Veemon, just for spite.." Lillymon grabbed Davis by the chin. "Ladydevimon wouldn't care that much."
"NO!" Veemon screamed. His body turned white with light as he felt his body changing like his armor transformations, but it was different now. "Veemon digivolve to.EXVEEMON!" The flowers that held him down burst apart as a tall muscular blue dragon with an X on his chest landed on the floor. He stood over three feet taller then Lillymon, but Lillymon didn't appear the least bit concern. Far from it, in fact.
"Oh la la. How many forms do you have?" Lillymon smiled as she placed her hand on her heart. "And are they all cute?"
"It's Veemon's champion form! Way to go!" TK cheered.
"KILL HER!" Davis shouted, filled with rage.
"Oh do be quiet." Lillymon picked two large handful of pollen from her flower on her head, and threw them in Davis and TK's face. Both boys quickly fell asleep. "Take five. I have a new sparring partner."
"Surrender Lillymon." Exveemon struck a fighting pose. "Or fall before me."
"Does anybody ever say yes to that?" Lillymon gestured to Exveemon with a finger as she floated out the window. "Let's get a little space. I don't want your friends to get hurt. Ladydevimon has that pleasure reserved for herself."
Exveemon growled as he raced out after her on to the street. Lillymon hovered on the median, just a few inches off the ground. "Xvee punch!" Exveemon began throwing punches at rapid speed.
Lillymon dodged left and right, smiling as she did so. "You can do better than that."
Trying to cross her up, Exveemon shouted "Xvee kick!" And came at her with a roundhouse kick. Lillymon pulled up her legs and did a backwards somersault over the attack, catching Exveemon under the jaw with her boots. Exveemon went flying into an old move theater. An ancient popcorn maker burst apart as he collided with it.
Lillymon flew in after him. "Oh come on now. Why don't you just forgot about what happened, and we can be friends again?"
Exveemon got up out of the smashed concession stand. "I won't fall for that a third time. How could I forget what a heartless creature you've become?"
"All muscles, no brain." Lillymon shook her head. "Isn't it obvious by now? Who were you going to tell about me?"
"Kari and Gatomon, why?" Exveemon growled. He was going to tell Gatomon, and her eyes flashed.and he forgot. "Gatomon, she used Cat's Eye hypnotism on me. That's why I forgot." Exveemon choked out. "But why?"
"Think hard blue boy." Lillymon hovered in the theater's entrance.
Exveemon couldn't believe that Gatomon would betray them. She'd defend Kari with her life, even after she lost her gold ring and most of her power, she fought for Kari. The gold ring. Gatomon had a gold ring on her, although Gatomon told him she had lost it. But how could she get it back? Unless. "She's not Gatomon."
Lillymon clapped her hands. "I knew you'd get it. But to be more specific, she'd not your Gatomon, she's ours. Beta's loyal servant."
Xveemon growled and advanced. "What did you do to Gatomon?!"
"I did nothing." Lillymon walked forward. "Our Gatomon though beat her halfway to deletion. And all this time, you treated her like she was your best friend. Funny isn't it? I wonder if your Gatomon's still alive?"
Exveemon growled with rage. The dark spires hit him full force as the X charged with energy. "X beam!" And a blast of energy soared from his chest.
"Flower Cannon!" Lillymon fired a blast from her cannon, and it connected with Exveemon's attack. Her attacked cancelled out Exveemon's, and continued forth. It struck Xveemon in the chest, sending him flying back into the theater as Lillymon cried, "X marks the spot!" Xveemon lay weakly in smashed aisle seats as Lillymon walked down the aisle. "Lost out temper now, did we?" Xveemon began to get up, but Lillymon quickly jumped on his chest, pinning him down and knocking the wind out of him. "You knew you didn't really have a chance. I mean seriously; a novice champion versus an experience ultimate?" Exveemon began to say something, but four punches, thrown in rapid sucession, shut the world out around him. Lillymon then grabbed his tail and began dragging him out of the theater. "Come on you, I have to get back to Joe's Church. I have to get ready for the rest of your friends when they get back from the underground. They'll be so happy to see me!" Lillymon laughed as she head back to Joe's Church, Xveemon in tow.
Gabumon tried to help Sora, but the humans recoiled in horror. The other patients barely tolerated Biyomon and Gomamon; they would not stand for a new digimon face. Sora felt so sorry for Gabumon, who tried not to take it personally. She didn't know of a gentler, kinder creature. Gabumon just took to the corner with Gomamon, trying not scare anybody else.
