Biyomon woke up in the cell, her wing throbbing. She couldn't figure why it
hurt so much at first, until her memory flooded back to her. Her wing was
in a makeshift sling, made out of bloody old rags. Lillymon had shot her in
the wing, her friend from File Island. Horror began to fill Biyomon as she
remembered Lillymon's words. If the digidestined found out about her,
Lillymon said she'd kill Gomamon. Biyomon could hardly breath as the
thought of Gomamon's death hit her. Somebody tenderly placed a furry
appendage on her shoulder. It completely shocked her. She instinctively
tried to fly away, but her wing screamed in agony. "Awwwkk!" Biyomon
screamed as she landed on her tail feathers.
"Oh, God, sorry Biyomon!" Gomamon looked at her, his eyes not full of hate and bitterness as she expected, but concern. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you."
Biyomon jumped up, completely forgetting about her wing. "Gomamon you're alive!" Biyomon wrapped her good wing around Gomamon's head, crying. "I was so worried Lillymon deleted you."
Gabumon placed a paw on Biyomon's shoulder, Biyomon just noticing he was there. "Gabumon, you're safe to!"
"Relatively speaking." Gabumon looked around the dank cell they were in. The walls were reinforced concrete, without any windows. Gabumon figured it would take at least a champion to break free. Unfortunately, Gabumon couldn't digivolve without Matt or his digivice.It also had a small bathroom to one side, and two rooms on either side of a central room, with a bunk bed in each of the side rooms. All the rooms had doors, allowing some privacy in the cramped confines. Biyomon was on the lower bunk right now in one of the bedrooms. "How are you?" Gabumon asked Biyomon.
Biyomon didn't know what he was talking about, until a jolt of pain in her side reminded her. "I've been better. Are you two hurt? I can't believe it, Palmon is our enemy. How could she do this?"
Gomamon shifted uncomfortably at the mention of Palmon's name. "I'm glad you're all right Biyomon. You better rest." Gomamon broke the hug and sauntered off to the bunk bed in the other room. He climbed up to the top one, rather difficulty, and disappeared from site.
Biyomon was almost in tears, but she was nearly cried out from the whole day. "I deserve that, I don't deserve him." Biyomon sat back down on the bed, another stab of pain went off in her left wing.
Gabumon sat beside her. "What's wrong?"
"I betrayed the mon I love Hawkmon!" Biyomon sniffled. "I mean, I let Hawkmon kiss me...I knew it was wrong.... I'm surprised Gomamon can stand the sight of me."
"He can stand the sight of you very well. This is the first time his eyes left you since we got here." Gabumon looked to Gomamon's room. "I had to check to make sure he was breathing he was so intent on you."
"Really?" Biyomon looked up surprised.
"Really. He feels like he betrayed you." Gabumon knew that Gomamon told him in confidence, but some things were more important. "Palmon tricked him into getting angry and letting the spires take over. He was so angry at you, that he was ready to kill you. He feels so guilty that he was ready to hurt you, it is tearing him up inside."
"But it's not his fault, the spires do strange things to digimon." Biyomon answered, blushing a little when she looked at Gabumon.
"I know that, but you have to tell him that." Gabumon replied, putting a sympathetic paw on her good shoulder.
"Do you think he'll speak to me?" Biyomon whispered.
Gabumon nodded and gave Biyomon a slight smile. "Wait right here." Gabumon answered as he climbed off the bed. He went over to Gomamon's bunk and climbed to the top. Gomamon was pretending to be asleep, very badly.
Gabumon didn't pause as he tapped Gomamon on the head. "Biyomon wants to talk with you."
"I don't feel like talking." Gomamon mumbled.
"Then don't talk. Just listen." Gabumon replied.
"I'm tired Gabumon. I just want to sleep. I don't feel like listening to Biyomon." Gomamon closed his eyes and laid his head back on the pillow.
"Then listen to me!" Gabumon picked up Gomamon by his flippers and shoved him against the wall. Gomamon was speechless. "We're are mostly likely going to die in the next few hours. And I am NOT going to let you spend your last day wallowing in self pity. Now go speak to her!"
Gomamon was still too stunned to speak for a few seconds. "How did you ever get so wise?"
"Sushi, it's Brain food." Gabumon smiled as he placed Gomamon down.
"Thanks Gabumon." Gomamon climbed down from the bunk bed, shutting the door to Gabumon's room. He slowly went in Biyomon's room, hearing her sniffle slightly. Gomamon quietly got up on to the bed, and took a position next to Biyomon. Neither one talked for a while, as Gomamon listened to Biyomon's gentle sobbing. Just as the silence became deafening, Gomamon spoke. "How is the wing?"
Biyomon wiped her eyes with her good wing, the gently brushed the bullet wound. "It..its ok. It's already beginning to heal."
"That's good." Gomamon answered, feeling very awkward. Several eternal seconds of silence passed. Finally both digimon turned to one another.
"Gomamon."
"Biyomon."
"I'm sorry!" Both of them cried out as once. Both of them tried to speak, until Biyomon placed her good wing on Gomamon's mouth. "Please, let me go first." Biyomon closed her eyes as she began to speak. "I am sorry. I know it's only words, but I am sorry. I have no excuse for how I behaved. I should have told you about Hawkmon's kiss from the start." Biyomon sniffled as she relayed her story. "I don't deserve someone as trustworthy and as honest as you."
Gomamon grabbed Biyomon's wing and pulled it down so he could hold it. "I'm sorry too. I'm sorry I didn't save us from Palmon, and then allowed her to get me angry, so angry that I was ready... to.... kill..." Gomamon looked into Biyomon's face, realizing she understood. He continued, bowing his head. "Then I woke up in this cell with you bloody and bandaged. Gabumon told me how Palmon took you, and forced you to lie for her. You could have escaped, and saved yourself, but you stayed, even after all I've said and done, and you were seriously hurt because of it."
"Gomamon." Biyomon ran her wing over Gomamon's face. "I would have gotten shot again, if it meant your safety. And I know you would do the same for me."
Gomamon wrapped his flippers around Biyomon's neck. "I love you."
Biyomon ran her right wing through Gomamon's fire red mowhawk. "I love you too."
"Sniff, that's so beautiful!" Gomamon and Biyomon turned to face the voice as they still were locked in one another's embrace. "Am I intruding?" A sickeningly cheerful voice called out from the door. "Boy just can't keep you two love birds apart, can we now?" Palmon laughed. "Ok, love bird and seal."
Gomamon's face turned dark as he let go of Biyomon and charged Palmon. "Poison Ivy!" Palmon cried as her vines wrapped around Gomamon's neck. Palmon swung Gomamon into the stone wall, his body making a sickening thump.
Biyomon got up, but she couldn't fly or use her spiral twister without both wings. "Gabumon! We need you help!" Biyomon shouted at the top of her lungs.
Gabumon ran out of the next room. A quick glance of the room told him what was going on. "Blue Blaster!" Gabumon fired blue energy at Palmon.
Palmon moved quicker. She pulled Gomamon up and in front of her, using him as a shield. Gomamon's body shuddered as the dragon breath hit him in the chest. Gabumon stopped in horror, which was another mistake. Palmon threw Gomamon's body into Gabumon, sending them both to the ground. Palmon retracted her vines before placing her hands on her hips. "Boy you really don't know how to fight. Now Agumon, he digivolved to his Mega level and gave me a workout. You are just pathetic." Biyomon shot Palmon a look of pure hate. Gabumon growled as he stood up, Gomamon's limp form resting by him. "What, no let's be friends speech? No trying to convince me that I'm just mad with grief, that that's why I'm doing all these terrible things?"
"We know why your doing this." Gabumon spoke.
"And why is that?" Palmon asked.
"You're a complete bitch." Biyomon answered.
Palmon snarled at first, then broke into laughter. "You know what? I think you're right." Gabumon got ready to attack again, but Palmon snapped her fingers. An Apemon and a Gorillamon walked into the cell, their enormous frames barely fitting through the door. Gabumon stopped in his tracks. "Now Gabumon, this lovely gentlemon on my right is going to escort you to the lab."
Gabumon made a break for it, running for the door. Palmon merely extended a vine, tripping the poor digimon to the ground. Gorillamon picked Gabumon up with little effort. "I'll get you back for what you did, Palmon!" Gabumon growled.
"Unlikely." Palmon turned to Biyomon as Gabumon and Gorillamon left the room. "How's the wing?"
"Shove it." Biyomon replied as she knelt by Gomamon.
Palmon opened her palms up to Apemon, who dropped two objects into her hands. "Now that's no way to talk to your teammate." Biyomon looked in horror as Palmon walked forward, waving a black spiral back and forth in each of her hands.
"Oh, God, sorry Biyomon!" Gomamon looked at her, his eyes not full of hate and bitterness as she expected, but concern. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you."
Biyomon jumped up, completely forgetting about her wing. "Gomamon you're alive!" Biyomon wrapped her good wing around Gomamon's head, crying. "I was so worried Lillymon deleted you."
