Greymon Raids Again!

- - - Thursday
Nova Blast!
I let the shot shriek across the desert! It cuts a hole in the dune I was aiming for. I frown. I'm a little off on my aim.
We're back home, at what's left of our nest. I haven't even started cleaning up. There's no time. I have to fight a duel tonight. Biyomon is worried. She hates duels. Duels are one on one. No interference. No partners. Just me and Peckmon going all out until one of us submits. Or is deleted.
Nova Blast!
I fire again. This time, the mountain I was aiming for crumbles under fire and smoke. I'm getting better.
Talking to Gennai didn't help us much. The phone lines were charging him twenty-five cents per minute again, and so he doesn't keep in touch that often. All he really told us over the phone was that he would 'look into it'. The old man sounded rather busy.
"Agumon, you don't have to do this," Biyomon says to me.
"Of course not!" I say. "I want to!"
Nov…. epper Breath!
The huge ball of flame teeters out into a small puff. I look down. The ground is a whole lot closer. I'm an Agumon again.
This isn't good.
"What happened?"
"I don't know… I…"
I feel like I'm going to barf. Biyomon screams. And then I grow big again.
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes me a few moments to calm Biyomon down. That was a scare. Alright. If there's anything that this tells us, it's that I'm not a natural. I'm disappointed, but I have bigger things on my mind right now than what my status is under the sovereigns.
I'm wondering if this is going to happen in my duel.
We finally get a call from Gennai. He explains what's happening as best he can. I'm hiccupping. I'm bouncing back and forth between forms. Accept its worse than before. My Digicore is overloading. If I don't find a way to unload it, one of three things will happen.
I could unload all of that energy, but there is no telling what kind of awesome destruction I would bring. I could do nothing, and then I explode, and my data will spread across server before reverting back to primary village. Or I digivolve. Only it won't be Metal Greymon. It'll be something never seen before.
By Baihumon I hope it's the latter.
Biyomon looks worriedly at me. She's scared for my life. She doesn't want me to fight. But at this point it isn't about me. It's about pride. Comitment. A lot of it is about me breaking bird-boy's beak in half. But most of it is for Biyomon. I'm going to prove that I'm not usless. I can keep it together. I'm going to that duel. And I'm going to win it.
"Gennai said all I had to do was unload right?"
Biyomon nods, a little unsure.
I grin. "Then I have an idea…"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"You came."
I growl. Tell me this idiot isn't surprised.
"You think I'm a coward?"
It's nearly midnight. The dark wind howls around us. Peckmon is waiting for me. He's chosen a mound just under Tengumon's stables for our battleground. That suits me fine. Biyomon stands a few feet away from us. She's worried I'll explode.
"Greymon…"
Peckmon frowns. "You would side with this one over someone who truly cares?"
Biyomon glares at him and takes another step back. "You would side with the Royal Knights over everything else?"
Peckmon sighes. "Touché mademoiselle. Freshie?"
"Twerp!"
"I will enjoy slicing you to pieces."
He leaps towards me. Biyomon screams. A stand my ground…
Kunai Feathers!
I open my mouth. And let loose the flames within me.
Mega Burst!
--------------------------------------------------------
Authors Note: The Duel has started. Will Greymon win? Will Peckmon? Where's Tengumon? Confused? Don't worry. Friday will be a little tricky…
Peace!
