"Well in my rookie form I am called Crystal Agumon," Koromon said, "My kind, well Crystal Agumons can live in any kind of environment in the digital world but we tend to like to live in areas near volcano's, while most Crystal Agumons are of average intelligence I am a genius."
"When you say genius do you mean compared to other Crystal Agumon," Matt asked.
"When I say I am a genius that is what I mean," Koromon said, "I am the one who created most of the stuff that Lord Holy Angemon is using, I did not want to create that stuff but I had no choice in the matter."
"Everyone has a choice," Matt said, "So you didn't have to create that stuff for him if you didn't want to."
"That is where you are wrong," Koromon said, "If I were to refuse he would have killed all of my friends from my village, what is even worse is that even though I did cooperate with him Holy Angemon threw all of them in a work camp anyways where they are treated like slaves and barely get anything to eat when it comes to meals."
"Why didn't you leave then," Matt asked.
"Originally Holy Angemon said he would let me and my friends go once I finished with what he wanted me to create for him," Koromon said as he could feel his blood starting to boil, "But after I finished with the last thing he wanted he had one of his other digimon use an attack that knocked me unconscious and when I woke up I found myselftied to one of the things I created as he used it to force me to digivolve."
"Why did he force you to digivolve," Matt asked, "And what did he force you to digivolve into?"
"Holy Angemon said right before he turned on the machine that he could not afford to let go of my knowledge," Koromon said shuddering as he remembers what happened, "So he programmed it to where I would be a prisoner in my own body and mind once he turned it on to force me to digivolve into Shardmon."
"You can't mean the same Shardmon that Gabumon and I saw on our way to the rental shop today," Matt said, "You're talking about a different one right?"
"No that is the same Shardmon I am talking about," Koromon said and shudders again.
"But if that is so then how are you here," Gabumon asked.
"When Shardmon grabbed Matt the other day I used that opportunity to transfer my mind into my toy," Koromon said, "The combination of this data spring and my toy actually helped recreate my body so I don't have to be stuck in my toy anymore."
"And that is how you ended up linked to my digivice like Gabumon is," Matt said.
"So he's your partner too," Gabumon said.
"What can you tell us about the host?" Matt asked.
"Little," Koromon said, "I know for him to change humans he made the rules. He can only change you humans during or after the fight."
"That's why he set up these games," Matt said.
"Right," Koromon said. His eyes widen, "Partner!"
"This is going to take some getting used to," Gabumon said.
"Why do you say that Gabumon," Matt asked.
"Because I've been your only partner for so long," Gabumon said.
"Hey don't worry about it Gabumon," Matt said, "Our friendship won't change, well not for the worse anyways."
"No hard feelings about causing you to digivolve and de-digivolve right Gabumon," Koromon asked, "I just could not help playing with it."
"Yeah I guess," Gabumon said slightly annoyed, "How would you like it if I used Matt's digivice to cause you to change from one form to another almost constantly?"
"We might as well try to relax now," Matt said, "We're going to be here for a little while longer."
"I'm not in any hurry to go back to the main islands," Gabumon said, "Especially with us being framed for pranks we didn't do."
"Maybe I can help you find out who actually did the pranks," Koromon said, "I probably can get into Holy Angemon's computer systems if he hasn't changed any of the passwords and stuff, even if he did I can still get in but it will take me some time to do so."
"That will be helpful," Matt said, "And I don't mean just for finding out who set Gabumon and I up, we can also learn what Holy Angemon is truly up to."
"I forgot something," Koromon said.
"What?" Gabumon asked.
"That also goes for the partners as well," Koromon said, "And since I am your partner then he can not take me back."
"That's good," Gabumon said.
"So when can I get my legs back?" Koromon asked.
"You're going to have to stay as a Koromon for now because there isn't much room on the jetski," Matt said, "I'll digivolve you back to Crystal Agumon when we get back to the main island."
"I guess that will do I suppose," Koromon said, "Or you can de-digivolve Gabumon to Tsunomon and digivolve me to Crystal Agumon?"
"That isn't too good of an idea," Gabumon said, "All you are is a head with long ears when I'm a head with a really sharp horn as Tsunomon, if we get caught in bad conditions you won't end up hurting Matt to bad, while I could end up seriously hurting Matt if not worse by accident."
"Gabumon does have a point Koromon," Matt said, "For now you'll have to stay in your in-training form."
"Oh well I can deal with out having legs for now," Koromon said, "At least I'm not a prisoner in my own body any more."
"Yeah that's a good thing," Gabumon said, "I just hope I never have to experience something like that."
"What I don't get is how Shardmon is still alive if you're here with us," Matt said.
"It is simple really," Koromon said, "When Holy Angemon forced me to digivolve he used one of the computers to create another mind in my body with the help of one of his Datamon workers."
"He could do that to other digimon," Matt said.
Gabumon then asked, "If the humans all lose but one then could he make partner digimons digivolve like that?"
"Maybe," Koromon said, "let's get something to eat."
"We're still trapped in the spring," Matt said.
"Oh yeah," Koromon said, "I can not think to well with how hungry I am."
"What do you mean," Gabumon asked, "It doesn't seem like that to me."
"Is there any other way to get out of here besides the way we came in," Matt asked.
"Yes there is another way," Koromon said, "Only problem is that it is an water filled tunnel and will take ten minutes and thirty-nine seconds to get through it, which you can not breathe under water so we have to wait."
"Then we do have to wait," Gabumon said, "If we tried that then we would end up drowning."
"That is just stupid," Matt said, "My only question is how were you able to stay underwater so long in your rookie form of Crystal Agumon?"
"As I said before Crystal Agumons can survive in any environment in the digital world," Koromon said, "Including underwater."
"I have heard that there are some kinds of digimon that can live anywhere in the digital world," Gabumon said, "But I never heard of Crystal Agumons till you showed up."
"I never heard of agumons or gatomons until I worked for Holy Angemon," Koromon said, "There are still many digimons that are unknown."
Meanwhile Knightmon laughs as The host walks into the thrown room with Yolei following them. "Why are you laughing?" Holy Angemon asked.
"I thought that gatomon 182 would miss the other gatomons." Knightmon said, "So I ordered them into Tie's and Car's apartment. They think it's for a health test. Can you imagine all those gatomons in a small space?"
The host grins, "I can imagine that," he said, "But I really don't care about that too much, maybe one of them can find some clues as to what Tai and Kari are up to with their friends."
"Is work all you can ever think of," Knightmon asked, "Now I know why some of the others working directly under our master say your dull."
Meanwhile in Tai's and Kari's rooms, "What is going on in here," Tai yelled trying to be heard over the talking of all the Gatomon's, "Why are they here?"
"How should I know Tai," Kari yelled, "It's getting to the point I can barely move."
"I'll ask one of them," Tai yelled and squats down, "What are all of you doing in here?"
"What did you say," the Gatomon Tai asked the question asked, "I can't hear you over all of the noise."
"I said what are all of you doing here," Tai said raising his voice so the gatomon can hear him.
"Oh Knightmon told us that the host wanted us to report here for a health test," the gatomon said.
"How are you going to get a health check here?" Tai asked picking up Mary.
"We can't leave until we are ordered to," a gatomon said, "Beside it's nice to have some time off."
With Koromon in his arms, Matt walks out of the spring. "Back to my place," he told Gabumon as he climbs out.
"So many new friends," Mary said.
"Are you alright Ice?" Kari asked the hurt digimon in her arms.
"I'm fine," Ice said, "Look there's Marbole. And there is Cat Afraid of Hats."
"Hi Ice Cream," all the gatomons said.
"Why is she called that," Kari asked, "Is she afraid of hats or something?"
"I don't know," Ice said shrugging her shoulders, "I just know that's what everyone calls her."
"Now I can see why they use names like Tai and Kari," Gatomon mumbled as she looks around at all of the other Gatomons in the room, "its getting way too crowded in here."
Tai turns to the door as he sees it opening from the corner of his eye only to see five more Gatomon walking in, "How many more can there be," Tai asked no one in particular, "This is getting ridiculous."
"There shouldn't be any more," a gatomon said that's standing on the shelf next to Tai.
"That's a relief," Tai said.
"Hey there's Smiley," Ice said pointing at a gatomon that looks really depressed, "And there's Riley right next to her."
"Uh Ice why is she called Smiley if she looks so depressed," Kari asked.
"When I first met her she used to smile all the time," Ice said, "She didn't stop smiling till about three months ago when the host deleted her mate."
"That is just horrible," Kari said.
"How often do you get time off," Tai asked.
"We don't usually," a gatomon said, "The host usually work us Gatomon and the Agumons till we pass out from exhaustion and when we finally wake up again we have to go straight back to work."
Meanwhile with Sora and the others, "I'm getting bored waiting here," Sora said, "How about we go see what Tai and Kari are doing, Izzy's cameras will record everything that happens to Matt and Gabumon."
"Sounds good to me," Ken said as the others nodded their heads, "Kari was supposed to meet us here but never showed up."
"You know why that is Ken," Izzy said, "Sora told us that Kari had some things she had to take care of right away."
"Let's just go talk to Tai and Kari," Mimi said, "For all we know Matt might not come back till tomorrow."
The others then start leaving the room, "Hey what about me," TK yelled from her room as she struggles to get her arms free while pacing back and forth, "Are you going to untie my arms or are you going to leave me like this, uh hello are you listening to me?" TK growls in frustration, "Great they left with out me and left me tied up too, how am I going to get out of here?"
Knightmon laughs as Tai and Kari try to understand what is going on with the gatomons stopping them from moving around.
"If you like messing with them so much have as much fun as you want," The Host said, "Those Gatomons are worthless to me. They and those also worthless Agumons make up most of the spies I found."
Sora opens the door to Tai's apartment. She just stares at all of the gatomons looking at her. "I knew Tai has many digi-points," Guilmon said, "but I didn't know he had enough for that many partners."
"Guilmon I doubt all of these digimon are Tai's partners," Takato said, "Hey Tai, Kari what's going on in here!"
"All of these Gatomons just showed up here with out any warning," Tai yelled, "They're saying that the host told them to come here for a health test!"
"You can't be serious," Sora said, "How are they going to get a health test here?"
"We were told to come here so we did," one of the Gatomon said, "And can't leave till we are told to do so."
"Oh hey Guilmon it's been awhile," one of the Gatomon said waving at Guilmon.
"Hey Kara what are you doing here," Guilmon asked.
"You know her boy," Takato asked.
"Yeah we met Kara before Takato," Renamon said, "Though it could have been in better circumstances though."
"Jeez Renamon why are you always doing that," Takato said as startles him by appearing right in front of him out of seemingly nowhere.
"If it weren't for you and Guilmon I would have been killed," Kara said.
"We were just doing what we usually do," Renamon said, "But we are glad that we did save you because you became a good friend, so why are you working for the host of this place."
"At the time I didn't know what I was getting myself into," Kara said, "I was told the job that the digimon who hired me was something different, he asked me to step into another room and as I stepped into there something hit me over the head and when I woke up I found myself being forced to work here."
"Yeah that's how I ended up here too," about a quarter to half of the Gatomon in the room yelled.
"I would welcome you here but as you can see it's a bit crowed in here," Tai said.
"We're back," Davis said.
"Look at all the gatomons," Veemon yelled, "Ladies, shall we talk?" He pulls out a little black book and a pen. "I need names and numbers or someone may be deleted." One of the working gatomons grabs the book and pen and start to write in it.
"Do any of you have any extra book cases we can borrow?" Tai asked, "As you can see we're out of living space."
"Hey Ice Cream, why are you here?" a gatomon asked.
"I hurt my leg," Ice said, "So I'm being cared for by them."
All the gatomons blink then grab their legs and yelled, "My leg."
Sweat drops forms besides every ones heads, "You have got to be kidding," Sora mumbles.
"Alright listen up all of you," Tai said, "We don't have the room or time to take care of all of you and so you can stop faking being hurt now."
Most of the Gatomon start grumbling under their breaths as they stand up while one of the Gatomon next to Tai is still grabbing her leg, "You can stop faking," Agumon said.
"I'm not faking," the Gatomon hissed, "The last few weeks about two to four times a day my leg cramps up really bad and it started to cramp before Ice even said that about her leg."
"Oh sorry I didn't know," Agumon said, "Are you going to be ok?"
"Yeah I will be fine," the Gatomon said, "It only lasts about five to ten minutes most of the time and sorry about coming off so mean."
"It's ok," Agumon said, "I was just thinking that you were faking it because all of the other Gatomon in here were faking it a moment ago."
"Hey where is TK at the moment," Kari asked noticing that she isn't standing outside of the room with the others, "I thought she was with the rest of you?"
"TK's fine," Patamon said, "Although she's a little tied up with some things at the moment."
"You let TK go off by herself," Kari asked.
"No TK wanted to wait for Matt to get back and also set up her own prank for him," Ken said lying through his teeth, "She said it would be awhile before she joined us."
"Oh ok," Kari said, "Maybe when I get out of here I can go give TK a hand."
"Actually TK wants to do it herself," Mimi said, "As she asked us to leave she said something about locking everyone else out except Matt and Gabumon."
"If she wants that," Kari said, "I don't think I can get through this many gatomons anyways."
"What are you going to do?" Takato asked.
"I don't know," Tai said, "If you do not want to be here then please leave."
"We can't," the gatomons said.
Tai looks at the others. "Could you help us to find a way to get all these gatomons and still have the room to move?"
"We'll see what we can do," Sora said.
"Just please hurry though," Kari said, "This gatomon in my arms is supposed to be lying down so her leg can heal."
Davis pulls Veemon away from the door and to the side where they can talk with out being heard by any of the gatomons, "What's up with that black book and telling all those gatomons that they will be deleted unless they write there names and numbers in it?"
"It won't hurt if I got to know some of them better later on," Veemon said.
"I thought you liked Kari's partner Gatomon though," Davis said, "So why do you want to know them?"
"Of course I like her," Veemon said, "But what if she doesn't share the same feelings for me that I have for her, then maybe one of them will like me and I'm going to ask her on a date today."
"Well you might want to hurry then Veemon," Davis said, "I think I over heard Patamon mumbling about asking her out also a few minutes ago."
"Why didn't you tell me before then," Veemon yelled.
"I was trying to but you weren't paying any attention to me," Davis said, "That's part of the reason I pulled you over here."
"Sorry for yelling at you Davis," Veemon said, "I'll talk to you when you're able to get into the room."
"How are you going to get in there if I can't," Davis asked.
"Just watch and you'll see," Veemon said going back towards the door.
Davis watches as Veemon waits in front of the door as if nothing matters, "Why is he just standing there," Davis mumbled to himself and watches as Patamon starts to fly into the room and Veemon jumps up and grabs Patamon's back legs, "That's one way to get in there."
"Let go of me," Patamon yelled as he looks down to see Veemon holding onto his back legs.
Davis watches as both digimon drops into the crowd of gatomons. Davis just rubs his head as the two roll over the gatomons while fighting. "I'm glad TK's a female at the moment," Davis said.
"Sora," Mimi cheered as she ran up, "Look at this hat I got."
A scream came from inside the room. "She is afraid of hats," Ice said.
"Hello Joe," Maria said walking up, "Thanks for teaching us more about how to care for humans."
"Your welcome," Joe said, "Are you hear for the health check-ups?"
"Check-ups?" Maria asked, "I just got off duty and came to see how Ice is doing."
All the Gatomons look at her and yelled, "My leg."
Agumon looks at the gatomon next to him. She is still rubbing her leg. She looks up at Agumon once more. "It's nothing to worry about," she said, "I'm Clawz, the strongest gatomon. A pain in the leg won't stop me."
"Please, tell me you're here to do the check-ups on the gatomons," Tai said to Maria.
"Sorry but I just got off duty for the night," Maria said, "As far as I know the only Gatomon I need to check up on is Ice since her leg got broken earlier."
"Great, then why were all of these Gatomons told to come here," Kari asked.
"I don't know," Maria said, "All I know is that about a week from now there is supposed to be a health test for most of the worker digimon, but nothing scheduled for today except our usual work to help anyone who gets hurt."
"Then why did Knightmon tell us that the host wanted us to report here for a health test," one of the Gatomon asked.
"You might want to ask Knightmon that yourself next time you talk to him," Maria said, "Well I guess you all can go back to what you were doing before you came here."
"Knightmon told us we had to stay here," Clawz said, "Until him or the host say we can leave."
"Dinner," an Agumon said as he walks up pushing a dinning cart, "Steak and mash potato for the humans. Steak for the Tyrannomon, and the Agumon, and grilled fish for the partner gatomons and the hurt gatomon." He passes the plates over to some the gatomons. They carry the food to the rightful owner drooling as they did. "The rest on the cart is for the other gatomons."
A gatomon slowly walks from Tai's and Kari's room. She stops to look to the side before she pulls back the cover sheet to see it filled with grilled fish. With a cheer they started to pass out the food.
"Since they are in one place, I guess I could look at them and see which ones I should put on the hurt list," Maria said.
"I doubt that even half of them will be put on the hurt list," Joe said.
"I can't be so sure about that," Maria said, "With some of them I'm surprised they are still alive and didn't get deleted from what happened to them."
"What do you mean," Sora asked, "I doubt it could be that bad for you to say something like that."
"A week ago one of them was forced to fix the roller coaster in the amusement park and passed out from lack of sleep," Maria said, "I'm surprised that Gatomon didn't get deleted when she hit the ground after falling off it, if you're wondering why I say this it's because the part of the roller coaster she fell off of is about seventy-five feet in the air."
"Ouch that had to hurt," Jeri said, "How do you know she survived the fall?"
Agumon looks at Clawz still rubbing her sore leg, "That was you wasn't it," Agumon asked.
"No I'm not the one who fell off that thing," Clawz said, "She's somewhere over on the other side of this room I think."
"Because she told me herself a few hours later that day when I got off my shift as I was walking back to my room," Maria said, "I would have taken a look at her then but a Devimon was yelling at her to do all kinds of things, isn't that right Alexandria?"
"Yes that did happen," a Gatomon near Kari said as she walks towards the door, "I guess I am one of the luckiest digimon alive with all the things I have managed to live through besides that."
"How do you know that she fell from that high up," Sora asked.
"I wasn't sure where she meant she fell off the roller coaster from until I watched the video from the security camera that day," Maria said, "And I know for a fact that the roller coaster in the park is almost seventy-five feet high at the highest points."
"That is a nasty fall from that high," Sora said.
"Well you're going to be the first one I look at because what happened to you," Maria said, "And then after I finish looking you over Alexandria, Clawz will be next."
"Don't worry about me I'm fine," Clawz said as she stands up, "The others can go before me."
"I said you're second Clawz so you are going to be second, understand," Maria said, "And save the protests because I'm not going to take no for an answer."
"Fine whatever you say," Clawz huffed.
"That's one quality I don't like about Gatomons," Maria said, "They are all so stubborn."
"Hey that's not true," Ice said.
"At times even you can be really stubborn," the nurse said, "But you aren't as bad as the others can be, especially certain ones," she said as she's looking right at Clawz and glances at a few others for a moment before going back to looking over Alexandria.
After looking at Alexandria she tied a black ribbon around her neck. She looks at Clawz and frowns. She tied a black ribbon around her neck as well.
Meanwhile Matt finally steps onto the dock of the main island. "Why didn't you tell me about the button sooner?" Matt asked as Koromon became Crystal Agumon.
"I forgot," Crystal Agumon said.
"Well," Matt said, "First place we go is to my apartment."
"Sounds good to me," Gabumon said, "I'm looking forward to lying down on the bed for a little while."
"I thought we were going to get some food," Crystal Agumon said holding his stomach as it growls, "I am hungry."
"Don't worry we'll get something to eat soon," Matt said, "But chasing after you for about an hour made us tired."
"It won't hurt to get something to eat first," Gabumon said, "After all that happened I'm somewhat hungry myself."
"We'll get something to eat in a little bit, right now let's just go back to the room and rest for a little bit," Matt said only for his stomach to start growling as well, "Don't say anything Gabumon, let's just get some food."
"What I wasn't going to say anything," Gabumon said grinning.
Crystal Agumon is about to say something, "You don't say anything either Crystal Agumon," Matt said.
"I was just going to say that we would get there quicker if we cut through here," Crystal Agumon said pointing towards a walk way that goes between two of the housing buildings that the host's digimon use, "As long as we do not cause any trouble it should not be a problem to walk through there."
"I thought the digimon who work here eat some place else," Gabumon said.
"No we, I mean they eat in the same place you have to but at different times," Crystal Agumon said, "When the cafe in the castle had been destroyed by someone even they had to eat in their own rooms if they have rooms that is."
"What do you mean by if they have rooms?" Gabumon asked.
"Gatomons and Agumons have large holding areas for them," Crystal Agumon said, "If they are not working they are sleeping. In some places it is not uncommon to see a gatomon asleep in the corner."
"That's mean," Gabumon said.
"They're serving food," Matt said, "I'll get three take outs and then we can walk to the apartment."
Meanwhile Tai slowly made his way to the door. The gatomons create small areas for him to step to. "How long will this take?" Tai asked.
"Awhile," Maria said, "Right now, I'm judging the health of each gatomon then I'm going to look in more detail at the gatomons who are hurt the worse."
"Here we are," Matt said with the food containers in his arms. He pushes the door open to have eggs drop on him.
"Ugh did they have to use rotten eggs," Gabumon yelled covering his nose, "None of it got on the food did it?"
"None of it got on the food," Matt said, "But how can you think about that with this smell?"
"Actually because of that smell I have lost my appetite for the moment," Gabumon said, "But it doesn't mean we can't put it in the small fridge in the living room for later."
"Gabumon does have a good point," Crystal Agumon said, "If it were not for the fact I have not eaten anything I would not be able to hold it down from that smell."
"Alright I'll put the stuff in the mini fridge and take a shower," Matt said, "You two can do whatever you want while I'm in there."
"Whatever we want to," Gabumon said grinning.
"Except going into TK's room whether she is here or not of course," Matt said.
"Matt, Gabumon the others put all kinds of traps in your room to get you back for the pranks you did to them," TK yelled only to get no response.
TK is about to yell again when the speaker by the door comes alive with Izzy's voice, "Just to let you know TK that if you are in here that any sound you make won't be heard by anyone outside this room for the next hour or so, while you were busy complaining about all the stuff we decided to do to Matt and Gabumon to get them back Ken and I set up your room to lock you in it the moment you walked in and that the moment Matt and Gabumon get back to make it so no sound can escape, oh no point in saying anything because this is a recording that I made while doing what I did."
"Great this just sucks," TK said, "I can hear them but they can't hear me at all."
"Ok the foods in the fridge if either of you get hungry," Matt said, "Now I'm going to take a shower to get rid of this smell."
A little bit later, Matt walks from the shower removing paint from his face. "They rigged the shower," he said.
"We should look at the rest of the place for traps," Crystal Agumon said. He opens the door to TK's room only to have flower drop on him. He turns to Matt and growls, "I hate being made a fool."
"Prove I didn't do it," Matt said, "Then they will be the fools."
"Matt," TK yelled through the door.
Matt runs into the room and found his younger sibling tied up. "What happen?" Matt asked as he starts to free TK's arms.
"They came and started to set up pranks," TK said, "I told them to stop but they wouldn't listen."
"How many traps," Gabumon asked.
"I can't say," TK said.
"We should find a safe place where I can work," Crystal Agumon said.
"Who is that," TK asked looking at Crystal Agumon, "You didn't buy him because you don't have any digi-chips."
"Actually from what Crystal Agumon tells me he hitched a ride in my digivice," Matt said, "When Gabumon and I went to a hot spring we heard about it actually turned out to be a data spring which he used to rebuild his body with the help of my digivice."
"That's interesting," TK said, "But how did he get into your digivice?"
"Let's just say the true mind of Shardmon isn't there any more," Crystal Agumon said.
"That's one way to put it," Gabumon said.
"What does Crystal Agumon mean by that," TK asked, "Shardmon is a complete moron from what I know about him, so what does the true mind of Shardmon isn't there any more supposed to mean?"
"At one point Shardmon was Crystal Agumon," Matt said, "Crystal Agumon said that last time when Shardmon grabbed me that he used that moment to upload his mind into my digivice."
TK is about to ask why Matt keeps emphasizing my digivice when Crystal Agumon said, "Do you not mean my toy, as the saying goes finder keepers and all that other bull."
"I'm going to go take a quick look in my room," Matt said.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," TK said stretching her arms and rubbing them because the soreness the rope caused, "Unless you want to walk around looking like a chicken for the rest of the day at least."
"Let me guess," Gabumon said, "They put tar and feathers above the door and the moment it opens the tar will be dumped and the feathers with follow a moment or two later?"
"Yeah that's about it for that trap," TK said.
"Wait where are Ken, Patamon and Wormmon," Matt asked, "I figured they would be in here also when I heard you."
"That's the thing," TK said, "It was Ken's idea to tie my arms up and Patamon agreed with everything that the others were doing and went with them when they left leaving me in here by myself."
"Patamon seems a little upset about this," Matt said, "Why didn't you agree with what they were doing anyways?"
"One you're my brother," TK said, "And two I found Davis' goggles under my bed while I was picking some things up in here that Patamon had knocked over while scratching himself from the itching powder."
Meanwhile in front of Tai's and Kari's room, "What do the different color ribbons they are wearing mean," Joe asked.
"The ones with the green ribbons have little to no injuries," Maria said, "The red ribbons mean they have moderate to bad injuries while the black ribbons mean they need to be thoroughly checked out after I finish judging how all of the Gatomons are doing."
"Looks like you are going to have your work cut out for you," Sora said looking in the room with most of the Gatomons that have been checked having red and black ribbons around there necks while very few have green ribbons around there necks, "All of them will recover completely from their injuries right?"
"I'm not sure," Maria said, "I have to do complete thorough checks on them and that means they have to come with me back to the nurses office because that's where all of the equipment is." She then sighs, "With how stubborn Clawz is and how bad her leg looks I'm surprised she can even walk let alone stand on it," Maria whispers to Sora, "When I was checking her leg if what I felt happens to turn out to be true then her leg has two fractures, stubbornness isn't always a good thing."
"I guess not," Sora said.
"Even if I find it's true," Maria said with a frown, "I'm afraid I won't find someone to care for her so she'll be forced to work anyways."
"We'll see if Kari and Tai agree to watch her if not then I can," Sora said.
"Thank you," Maria said.
"I'm glad that they didn't trap the TV," Crystal Agumon said, "I should be able to get in the system."
"That's the only thing that they didn't set up a trap on it seems," Gabumon said as he rubs his completely numb arm, "I'm just glad they only used enough electricity to where it made my arm go numb only."
"Hey Maria," Another nurse digimon said, "Hi Joe." She stops pushing the chart. "I brought the cart."
"Start with the ones with black ribbons," Maria said, "Especially with Alexandria and then Clawz."
"Alright got it," the nurse said, "Alexandria you heard Maria so come over here now, Clawz your next as Maria said so you come here too."
"I'm fine," Clawz said, "I don't need to be looked at any further."
"If Maria says you need to be looked at further then you're getting looked at further," the nurse said, "Now come over here or do I have to walk in there and grab you."
"Fine I'm coming," Clawz said as she walks to the nurse slightly limping.
"You know Clawz there is nothing wrong about admitting you're hurt," Maria said as she's looking over another Gatomon as Clawz walks by her, "Some times when you admit you're hurt it shows that you are strong also."
"I just hope we can find someone to care for all of the hurt gatomons here," the other nurse said, "Even if we do treat all of their injuries it won't do them good if they have to keep working."
"Yes I know," Maria said, "But there is nothing we can do about it if no one is willing to take care of them." Maria then looks around the room and sighs, "At this rate the majority of them will have red and black ribbons around there necks," she said, "Alright Kara come here I'm going to look at you next."
The other nurse picks up Clawz and starts examining her leg with the equipment she brought, "Hmm for some reason I can't get a proper reading on Clawz leg," she said to Maria and sees a slight reflection of light coming off Clawz leg out of the corner of her eye, "I think I see the problem." She then starts parting the fur on Clawz leg and finds two pieces of metal tied to her leg with string, "That explains why you can walk if Maria is right about your leg being broken."
"I already know it's broken," Clawz said as the nurse starts removing the makeshift splint, "I didn't say anything because there really isn't any point usually."
Kara starts walking to Maria when one of the other Gatomons in the room accidentally hits her in the chest with her tail ring, "Hey watch what the hell you are doing," Kara hissed.
"It was an accident," the other Gatomon said, "I barely touched you anyways so no need to have an attitude Kara."
As soon as Kara gets to Maria, Maria starts checking her out and the instant she put a little pressure on Kara's chest to check it Kara cries out in pain, "This isn't good," Maria said, "It seems like you have at least three broken ribs, what happened to you to cause this?"
"I don't know how it happened," Kara cried from the pain, "All I know is a few days ago I feel asleep in one of the hallways and when I woke up I was in extreme pain."
"Kara you have to tell me what actually happened to you," Maria said, "Otherwise I can't be completely sure how you should be treated for your wounds."
"I said I don't know what happened," Kara said.
"Uh Maria I know what happened to Kara," a gatomon named Rose said, "About a week ago I was carrying some stuff to another part of the castle when I heard some sort of commotion down the corridor I was walking by at the time and turned to see an Icemeramon kick a sleeping Kara in the chest and sending her flying into the wall on the other side of that corridor."
"That's another thing I hate," Maria said, "The host allows the other digimon to do whatever they want to the Gatomons and Agumons that work for him as long as they don't delete them and Kara turn your head from one side to the other."
"Do I have to do that," Kara asked nervously.
"Just to turn your head as far as you can," Maria said. Kara turns her head a little before tears starts flowing down her cheeks from the pain she feels from moving her head.
"You poor gatomons I'll help all I can," Kari said as she picks up Clawz forcing her to join Ice and Alexandria in her arms.
"There are too many," Tai said.
"We have friends," Kari said.
"I found something," Crystal Agumon said, "The problem is the file was edited."
"Damn it even one of the host's digimon or Holy Angemon himself is trying to make us look like we did it," Matt said in an annoyed tone, "How do you know that it was edited?"
"One the shadows do not match yours and Gabumon's bodies where there is enough light for shadows that is," Crystal Agumon said, "Also I am not sure whose voices these are but I can say for sure they are not either of yours."
"Well then turn up the volume so we can hear who it is," Gabumon said, "We'll probably recognize them when we hear them."
Crystal Agumon turns up the volume on the TV and plays the part of the recording with the voices, "Well that conversation is the only part of the video I found with voices so far," Crystal Agumon said, "So do you know who it is or do I have to play it again?"
