Greymon: King of the Monsters.

- - - Friday

The Gazimon are trying to menace us. I'm vaguely aware that it is after midnight. Gabumon can't keep the main army distracted for long. I rise to my full height and roar. Hard. My voice echoes around the mountains and across the desert. The Gazimon take a step back.

The scarred one steps forward. "Don't be afraid! He just digivolved!"

I roar again. The Gazimon stay nervous.

"He's not even a natural!" He sounds just like Etemon. I roar again. The Gazimon hold their ground.

"He's just a freshie! Just a rookie in Champ's clothing!"

I step forward. I'm as angry as anything right now. As angry as I've ever been. There are some fifty Gazimon ready to pounce on me. Those are bad numbers however which way you look at it.

What the heck is wrong with the little one? I look back to check on her. That's when I see it happening.

"Koromon digivolve to…"

The Gazimon step back. I blink.

"Kotemon."

She's a little shorter than Cody, but she looks just like him in that getup. One of those Kendo outfits. I still see the fire in her eyes. The Gazimon come at us full force. A wooden sword is in her hands in a minute.

Thunder Kote!

Short Rumps attack isn't Pepper breath. But it does wonders. She cracks her stick against the wind and lets a stream of energy pour forth, knocking the rabbit Digimon for a loop. They advance again and she hits them harder. I'm feeling kinda' proud right about now.

"Come on! Grab Biyomon!"

The little one… Kotemon, grips my friend and carries her after me as fast as possible. Biyomons coming to, and she starts doing more of the work. We're racing around the palace, crashing into things and headed for w huge window overlooking a lake. To the side is the podium, and subsequently where the Eteapemon scarecrow is. I turn to Biyomon.

"No use playing it quiet now!"

Biyomon nods and takes to the air. A few of the Gazimon take shots at her, but she's wise to them now. All they do is hit the ceiling. We're almost there when Kotemon turns to me. "Greymon!"

"Not now Kotemon."

"I just want to say… I…"

Electric Stun Blast.

Short Rump is down. Darn it! We're right there. The machinery powering the portals is before me. All I have to do is hit it! I'm standing on a ledge. In front of…

The Gazimon race after us. Then suddenly stop. I look back. They see the body of Eteapemon.

The scarred Gazimon nervously breaks from the pack. "Nevermind that! Get them."

The Gazimon don't move.

"Etemon wanted you to rule the real world! He promised you power…"

"Why are you using past tense!"

The Gazimon begin arguing with themselves. I don't have long. Lets blow this thing so we can go home.

Nova Blast!

The machinery goes up in a cloud of smoke. The Gazimon moan in horror. Their dead king's promise remains undone. The mission is over. Time to get my overgrown tail out of here.

Carefully balancing the little one on my forehead, I dive out the window and into the lake and try to swim away from the crazy Gazimon. Biyomon's running interference for me, so I don't get hit by any stray 'Electric Stun Blasts'. I hate swimming. To much upper body exercise. Though as Greymon, I can get some good distance in the water. I just hope it's enough to make it to the Koromon village without the Gazimon circumventing us.

Biyomon's above me. "We're going to make it." She says it with a kind of happy confidence I haven't seen in her before. I look ahead. Only a mile or two more. "Yeah, I say. "We're going to make it.

---

We make it to the Koromon village with no problem. Both the girls are feeling better, and we come to a celebration back in the square.

"That's that", I say. Kotemon's old friend nods happily.

"There'll probably be some stray beams now and again, but they should stop soon."

I look to Kotemon. She holds onto her sword.

"Short Rump…"

"…"

I sigh. "Kotemon."

She cocks her head, and her eyes seem happy. "It's okay. I've gotten used to it". She leans in closer than I expect her too. "I think it's a term of endearment."

Biyomon glares at me. "What?"

I shrug. Biymon continues to glower at me. I turn to Short Rump. Kotemon replaces her sword. Slowly.

Okay. I know innuendo when I see it.

That's when the portal comes down and gets me. Thank Azulongmon for the randomness that is these portals. I don't know where it's going, but I know it's far… far away from here.

Authors Note: Sorry for the abrupt and anticlimactic ending. I was trying to stay in my limit. What did you think? Short Rump's not a Freezer anymore, but a rather mature (and apparently flirtatious) Rookie. Is this the end of her and Greymon's relation ship? Is Biyomon jealous, already? Well sadly, everything wraps up this SATURDAY, so pay attention to the final instalment.
