Lillymon had brought Veemon back to Joe's Church. TK and Davis were still
strung up by her flowers, asleep from her pollen. She strung up Veemon
along side Davis, and took a seat in a ratty sofa. She sighed to herself,
twirling a flower boa in her hand. "Booorrrrrriiiiiinnnnngg." Lillymon
groaned after a very long two hours. She had no servants, no food, and TK,
Davis and Veemon would still be out for a few more hours. Shouldn't have
used so much sleep pollen, Lillymon thought to herself. When she was at her
bio-dome, at least she could find some way to amuse herself. But now
Ladydevimon had given her orders to wait here. If any digidestined managed
to escape Beta's army, and for some reason Ladydevimon was sure some would,
she would take them into custody. Beta was having fun tearing the
underground to shreds. If there was one thing she enjoyed, it was flaunting
her power. Then she had an idea to keep her amused. She disintegrated the
flowers she was playing with, and walked over to the padded room where she
locked Gomamon, Gabumon, Biyomon, and the girl Sora were in. She opened the
door with a flurry. The entire group looked like they've been chewed up and
spit out by a Tyrannomon. Lillymon guessed Sora attacked Gabumon from what
she told her, and it quickly turned into a free for all. She pointed down
to Gomamon. "You're coming with me."
"NO!" Biyomon ordered. She flew up into the air and started flapping her wings rapidly. "Spiral..."
"Biyomon stop." Gomamon announced. "I'll go with her."
Biyomon landed next to Gomamon, not taking her eyes of Lillymon. "But Gomamon?"
"We can't beat her. I have no choice." Gomamon began crawling out the door. "I don't want anybody to get hurt."
"Wise mon." Lillymon moved out of the door, letting Gomamon out. She turned back to the rest of the group. "Sit tight." She laughed as she shut the door behind her, sealing an angered Biyomon along with Gabumon and Sora. Lillymon then walked Gomamon back into another room. She sat down on a chair as Gomamon waited in the middle of the room, for what he didn't know. Lillymon grinned, looking down at him. "Well, what are you waiting for?"
"Huh?" Gomamon replied confused.
"Why do you think I brought you out? I'm bored." Lillymon answered.
"So read a book." Gomamon sneered.
"I was hoping for something a little more interesting." Lillymon responded. "So do something. Try to run, talk me to my senses, attack me, pick something."
"I'm not going to play your demented game anymore Lillymon." Gomamon growled. "If I run, you'll catch me. It I talk, you'll just laugh. And you're an ultimate digimon, and I'm still a rookie. I don't have a chance, so you can find some other trusting idiot."
"I thought you were braver than that Gomamon." Lillymon put on a frown. "Don't you wanted to rescue your friends?"
"If you're done with me, I'll go back to the padded cell." Gomamon turned to leave. A flash of light from behind him turned Gomamon's attention around. Lillymon was gone, and in her place her rookie form Palmon sat on the chair. Now that she was in a form Gomamon had grown up with, making this whole situation even more disheartening. At least when she was Lillymon, Gomamon could at least pretend it was someone else. But now, any illusion he had was shattered.
"If you're such a coward, maybe this will make it easier for you." Palmon laughed. "Now try something, you might get lucky. It is your only shot you realize."
Gomamon growled. But Palmon was right. This was his best chance of saving Biyomon and the others. Even though it was part of Palmon's cruel game, he had to go along with it. Gomamon looked put of the window behind him, if his position was right.He raised his right flipper. "Marching Fishies!"
The old fountain outside suddenly came to life as rainbow colored fish came soaring out of the muddy water and into the broken window. Palmon leapt out of her chair, turned and faced the onslaught of denizen of the deep. "Poison Ivy!" Her fingers extended as the fish attacked. Her vines whipped from target to target, flinging the fish outside the same window. "Now isn't this fun?" Palmon cheered as she turned around.
"Eyauugh!" Gomamon charged forward, tackling Palmon in the mid section. Palmon went down on the floor with Gomamon on top. Gomamon raised his left flipper to strike Palmon across the face.
Palmon raised her right hand. "Poison Ivy!" Vines wrapped around Gomamon's left flipper. Palmon pulled Gomamon to the side, and twisted on top. "Isn't this more fun then sitting in that stuffy cell?" Palmon laughed, and suddenly bent her head forward and kissed Palmon lightly on the lips.
Gomamon growled, but fought his anger down. "If you think that's going to get the spires to take over, you're wrong!" Gomamon spat to the side. "Besides, Joe and the others will be back any minute, you may as well give up now." Gomamon twisted his flipper free form Palmon's vines. He grabbed Palmon's shoulder and pushed up with his back flippers. He did a little somersault, ending up on top of Palmon again.
(Hmmmm I thought that would force the spires to take over Gomamon. Guess I need to try harder.) "Tough talk." Palmon joked. "And as for Joe and your underground resistance, Beta should be finishing them off right about now. Why do you think I'm here? You're little 'insubordination' is done. I'm just here to clean up the leftovers, you being one of them."
Gomamon screamed in rage as the mind warping spires filled him with wrath. He raised his flipper back and struck for Palmon's eyes. Palmon moved her head to the left as Gomamon's flipper claws embedded themselves into the floor. Palmon kicked up with her legs, throwing Gomamon off. "Now you're getting into it!"
Gomamon just screamed and charged Palmon again with a head butt. Palmon latched her vines on to the ceiling and pulled herself up with her left hand. She pointed her right hand at Gomamon as he sailed under her. "Poison Ivy!" Her fingertips shot out again, and grabbed Gomamon by the back flippers. "Einee Meenie Miney Moe. Catch a Gomamon by the toe!" Palmon laughed.
"I am sick of being taken advantage of digimon who claim to be my friends!" Gomamon furiously screamed as he thrashed against his bonds and ending up on his back. "By you! By Patamon! By Hawkmon! Even Biyomon I can't trust anymore!"
Palmon jumped down from the ceiling, landing on Gomamon's stomach. She pinned his flippers down with her hands. "A lover's quarrel I'm guessing? You're not enough mon for Biyomon?" "RRRR!" Gomamon thrashed against Palmon, completely enraged. "So I tell you what, why don't we go back to the cool down room." Palmon smiled. "And we can kill Biyomon." Gomamon stoped struggling. "What?" "Come on, you know she deserves to die." Palmon reminded Gomamon. "One Flower Cannon, that's all it will take." Gomamon thought about it for a second. "Yes... she's betrayed me twice." "And that's only two you know about. Who knows how many others there have been?" Palmon went on. She loved these little mind games. "Why in fact, she seemed to be getting a little close to Gabumon... think they may be making a little kissy face as we speak?" "Gabumon TOO?" Gomamon roared. (Boy these spires are fun.) Palmon got up, and began to glow with light. "Palmon digivolve to... TOGEMON!" Togemon's large cactus form took lace in the room, already transforming to the next state. "Togemon digivolve to... LILLYMON!" Lillymon burst out of a large flower. "So are we ready Gomamon?" Lillymon hands began to morph, forming a large cannon. "Ready." Gomamon sneered as he turned back on his stomach. "They deserve to die, after all I've done for them." "Good... remember that." Lillymon's cannon began to charge, pointed at the room down the end of the hall. "FLOWER!" Lillymon suddenly stopped. "Huh?" Gomamon looked up, as Lillymon lashed out with her foot. "Psyche!" Lillymon smirked as he hands returned to normal. Lillymon bent down, and picked up Gomamon. "Boy you are going to be ticked when you wake up. I mean, you almost let your friends be killed, just for petty vegence." Lillymon walked back to the cool-down room, where Gabumon, Biyomon, and Sora were currently locked and opened the door to the lock down room. She unceremoniously threw the unconscious form of Gomamon into the room with Gabumon, Sora, and Biyomon.
Biyomon looked at Gomamon's unmoving form, and grew angry. She looked at Lillymon as she picked up Gomamon's head, fury in her eyes. "What did you do to him?!" She screamed.
"Just a little sparring. I get all stiff sitting for hours" Lillymon bent down on one knee, and placed a single finger under Biyomon's chin. "By the way, he is really angry with you. Somethign about Patamon and Hawkmon." Biyomon blushed ashamed. Lillymon stood up, and blew a kiss with her lips to Gomamon's sleeping form, watching Biyomon grow even angrier. "You can ask him about it when he wakes up." Lillymon stood up and smiled as the spires began to work on Biyomon's mind. She closed the door, and wondered if Gabumon and that Sora girl could keep Biyomon from deleting Gomamon. She walked back to the room with TK, Davis, and Veemon, who were still strung up and sleeping. She resumed her seat in the old chesterfield, and continued her wait. "That should keep me satisfied for a bit. Maybe I'll get Gabumon for a quick battle."
"Lillymon." A voice said.
Lillymon looked around in a start, then chuckled to herself, forgetting that she had the transmitter in her ear. She pulled the receiver out of her flower, and held to her mouth. "Yes Ladydevimon?"
"Beta has finished cleaning up the last of the underground resistance." Ladydevimon spoke into her ear.
"And I missed all the fun." Lillymon pouted, then she looked at TK, Davis, and Veemon strung up. (Well, not all the fun. I haven't had such a good fight in a long time.)
"Don't you worry. The digidestined along with Joe and Mimi have escaped Beta's invasion. With all likely hood, they should be at your location shortly. Also, we allowed their Gatomon to escape and find them. Our Gatomon had to leave her position." Ladydevimon replied.
"Why would you do that? Gatomon was the perfect spy." Lillymon spoke into the transmitter.
"Don't worry about it. Delta has smuggled himself in. We have their Cody here, and he won't escape. Poor child hasn't woken up yet. It might be because Delta almost killed him. Most likely it's the drugs we're pumping into him." Ladydevimon chuckled.
Lillymon laughed. "Well, don't worry about the rest. I'll capture them."
"There's too many of them to capture all by your lonesome." Ladydevimon answered.
"Come on Ladydevimon, there's only a few of them, and not one can reach the champion form." Lillymon whined.
"Actually, the real Gatomon is back with them, along with Patamon, and they have achieved ultimate forms. They have done it even without the aid of their crests. And I still want the digidestined from the time line alive; you may only kill or delete them 'accidentally' if they try to gang up on you. So keep them busy until help arrives. It shouldn't be too long, I have a few digimon nearby."
"No problem." Lillymon acknowledged as she took the receiver away from her mouth. She got up and from her chair and walked over to TK and began unstrapping him from the ceiling. "Sorry we can't play right now, but I'm expecting company."
"NO!" Biyomon ordered. She flew up into the air and started flapping her wings rapidly. "Spiral..."
"Biyomon stop." Gomamon announced. "I'll go with her."
Biyomon landed next to Gomamon, not taking her eyes of Lillymon. "But Gomamon?"
