Davis was walking up a distance, and TK was behind him, both boys staying a
respectable distance from each other. Veemon and Patamon were in-between
the two, talking softly.
"Is it me, or do those two seem even more hostile then usual?" Veemon asked Patamon, flying next to him.
"A girl. Only a girl can make a pair of boys this angry." Patamon answered.
"Kari?" Veemon asked.
"Kari." Patamon answered.
"Hey Veemon, over here!" Davis called out, poimtimg to a particularily unusual building. The Council of Five's symbol, a gold pentagram, was on the doors. The building was solid black, and twice as tall as many of the other structures. "This looks promising."
TK followed. "I think you're right."
"I wasn't asking you, TKO." Davis snorted and turned back to Veemon. "Here's an air vent. See if you can find a way to open the doors."
"Patamon would be better for that." TK growled. "He can fly."
"You aren't in charge!" Davis turned to face TK.
"And you think you should be?" TK retorted. Both boys began to grow angry. The spires had almost taken over the two when their digimon intervened.
"Simmer down you two!" Veemon and Patamon got between the two.
"We'll both go." Patamon solved the problem. "Veemon can break the vents, and I can fly us to where we need to go."
"Vee punch!" Veemon broke the iron grating. "We'll be back in a few minutes. Try to play nice." Veemon entered the vent, Patamon flying after him.
Veemon began walking through the vents, which became darker as they moved inside. Veemon took to feeling the walls. "I hope those two don't kill each other."
"I think they're good friends." Patamon walked behind Veemon, it was too tight to fly. "They're just afraid to admit it. Tai and Matt fought worse than they do, and look at them now. Once this Kari thing is resolved, it will be the end of it."
"Vee Punch!" Veemon punched down another gate, revealing more air duct. "You're right. A girl always does that to a pair of guys. I'm just glad that'll never happen to a couple of best buds like us."
"You're right." Patamon followed Veemon deeper into the maze, following Veemon's footsteps. "I mean, when Gatomon kissed me, I was afraid to tell anybody becuase of the way TK and Davis have been acting. Keep this just between you and me. I think Agumon also has a crush on her, and I don't want him to know just yet." The footsteps stopped. "Find something Veemon?" Patamon was a mammal digmon, and had terrible night vision. He did however catch a glimpse of Veemon's fist before it collided with his snout.
"Gatomon is MINE!" Veemon shouted. The spires had turned him angry in the span of a heartbeat. "SHE LOVES ME!" Veemon growled.
Patamon rubbed his nose as he began to grow angry. He fought his anger down. (Should have kept my mouth shut. I would have thought Veemon would have told me if he had a crush on Gatomon. I am, or was, one of his best friends.) Patamon thought to himself as he stood up. (I am reaaalllllyyy getting sick of being beaten up by my friends. First Joe, then Gomamon, an evil version of Gatomon, Lillymon, and now Veemon. I wonder who's going to be next?) "Veemon, now you're acting like Davis. Calm down and we can worry about this later."
"Vee headbutt!" Patamon threw himself into a side air vent as Veemon sailed past him. Veemon collided with the side of the vent, and continued right through with a screeching sound of twisted metal.
"So much for stealth." Patamon flew out of the hole after Veemon.
Veemon was on the floor of some sort of hallway, picking himself up. "Come down and fight you coward!" Veemon jumped and took a swing, but fell short. He rebounded off the wall, and sailed at Veemon again. Patamon just managed to dodge the second blow, as Veemon left a fist size imprint in the wall.
Patamon hovered near the ceiling out of reach. He needed to get Veemon out of here before they were discovered. "Veemon, forget about Gatomon for a minute!" Patamon was still trying to get through to Veemon when something landed heavily on his back.
"Forget about little old me?" Alpha-Gatomon landed on Patamon as they both fell to the ground. "But I'm soooo unforgettable." Alpha-Gatomon purred.
"You!" Patamon squeaked under Alpha-Gatomon's grip. He began to grow angry for what this creature did to their Gatomon.
"I just hate to see such good friends fight." Patamon squirmed as Alpha- Gatomon continued speaking. "So what's her name? Obviously a cute girl. It's not my weak counterpart is it? Don't you think you should go after someone strong like me?"
Patamon growled, but held his emotions in check. Patamon caught Alpha- Gatomon off guard as he lifted his ear wings up, and slapped her in the side of the face and he threw her off with a burst of adrenaline. Alpha- Gatomon did a little mid air flip, landing in front of the two. "I'll delete you! Boom Bubble!"
Alpha-Gatomon easily dodged the attack, landing behind Veemon, grabbing the blue dinosaur arms and twisting them behind him. "Now why do you want to do that? There are two of you who want Gatomon, and there are two Gatomon. Some would say that is the perfect solution." Alpha-Gatomon smirked as she sweapt Veemon's legs out from under him, Veemon landing heavily on his stomach. "Though I like my boyfrined to not be a wimp."
Veemon shivered as the rough tongue ran up his blue skin. Patamon flew up higher, and his body expanded. "Boom Bubble!"
"HA!" Patamon did a dive bomb, putting his entire weight in his shoulder.
"GRrrrr!" Alpha-Gatomon dug her feet into the ground as she was pushed back five feet. "Spunky one aren't you?" Alpha-Gatomon wrapped her arms around Patamon's body and squeezed.
"Uhhh!" Patamon felt the air leave him.
"Let's be friends, so how about a nice hug?' Alpha-Gatomon joked as she squeezed even harder.
Patamon opened his mouth, and inhaled. His body suddenly shot to three times its size, Alpha-Gatomon no longer able to hold on, and bounced back. "Boom Bubble!" Patamon released his air, directly in Gatomon's chest.
"MERAW!" Alpha-Gatomon was knocked back hard, plaster falling from the wall as she hit. "UHhhh..." Alpha-Gatomon stumbled as she landed.
Patamon was pleased with himself. Taking Alpha-Gatomon one on one was impressive, since she, or rather the real Gatomon, could take on several champions at a time with that gold ring. Patamon didn't think long, knowing a boom bubble would only stun her for a split second. "Boom!" Patamon didn't finish his atttack, as a strong hand latched on to his left ear. "Uh!" Patamon was pulled to Veemon's eye level. "Veemon?!"
KE-RACK! Patamon fell to the ground, knocked cold. Veemon stood over Patamon, cracking his knuckles. "Hitting on my girl." Veemon kicked Patamon in the stomach, sending the already wounded digimon down the hall. "Bad idea."
Alpha-Gatomon smiled to herself as she walked forward. The spires were truly a remarkable invention. Veemon was so angry at Patamon, that he didn't even notice her. In fact, he would most likely kill Patamon now. (But... Ladydevimon did say she wanted them all alive.) Gatomon walked up to Veemon, who was approaching Patamon. "Veemon..." Gatomon called out.
Veemon's hand snapped around. "Listen witch, you want a piece of me?!" Veemon's normally happy face was scowled.
Alpha-Gatomon's eyes flashed. "Do you not know how to speak to a lady? You speak politely."
Veemon tried to turn his head. He may have been able to break the attack, but hte spires had already warped his mind, making him easy to manipulate. "Politely..." Veemon repeated.
"Very good." Alpha-Gatomon walked forward. "Now then, we are going to play a game. You pick up Patamon, and we go chain you two to the wall as a gift to Ladydevimon for promoting me to Alpha."
"Yes... Alpha." Veemon nodded, still lost in the glowing eyes. He picked up Patamon and slung him over his shoulder.
"Good boy." Alpha-Gatomon gestured to Veemon as they walked to the cell. "Now come on now. I still have to find your human friends."
"Is it me, or do those two seem even more hostile then usual?" Veemon asked Patamon, flying next to him.
"A girl. Only a girl can make a pair of boys this angry." Patamon answered.
"Kari?" Veemon asked.
