Biyomon flew faster and faster, the faster she went the more breath she needed to catch. Below her, Gabumon and Agumon were running. They were investigating another scene from an incident a few days ago; yet again a large creature gobbled up an infant Digimon and killed the parents. When they were investigating, they heard a voice and next thing they knew they were attacked but it happened too quickly.
"You guys can never go any faster than I can!" Said the voice again, and next thing the three Digimon knew they had to come to a halt. Right in front of them, in the air, was a strange bird like Digimon. He looked similar to Biyomon, but his feathers were a crimson red, he had two pairs of wings, dark pink-red eyes, a belt going across his chest that held a kunai, shuriken, and exploding tags within it, and the worst of all he had a grin on his face that you would loath the most.
"My name is Hayaimon, or in other words a very swift Digimon. My comrades call me the ninja bird while my enemies call me a bird from hell." There was that grin again. Biyomon landed and stood in between Agumon and Gabumon, the three of them looked up at him angrily.
"What do you want!? Why are you doing this?" Gabumon asked. Biyomon and Agumon nodded, agreeing.
Hayaimon chuckled evilly, "Why am I doing this? Well because I want to and I volunteered to help a good friend of mine. His name is VenomHebimon. Remember that name, because you'll fear it forever! Hahaha! Now why I'm here and what I want, I want to know how your friend is doing."
The three Digimon before him looked at each other in a questioning way.
"Oh forgive me; I guess I didn't explain it very well. VenomHebimon loves babies; just one can keep his belly full. The parents can just be a treat for him sometimes. Now this should have given you a clue, so let me ask again…how is your friend doing?"
This time it hit Biyomon, her eyes widened. I think he's talking about Gatomon!
"Is he talking about Gatomon?" Agumon asked in Gabumon's direction. Gabumon shrugged.
"Yes! You idiot!" Hayaimon answered, rather annoyed, "It is her I want to know about!"
"Why should we tell YOU!?" Biyomon blurted out.
"Why? I'm just curious. My boss can't wait till she brings her child into the world. He loves kittens the most. Mostly he wants their child's power."
"Power?" Agumon asked.
"Yes, it's pretty obvious. All mix breed Digimon have a special power. And every time my boss eats a mix breed Digimon, he gains his or her power."
"So!" Biyomon said with even more anger in her voice, "We will NOT tell you anything about Gatomon. She's my friend and I won't let the enemy know anything."
Hayaimon sighed, "Very well. I guess I'll have to be patient. Ta ta for now." And with that, Hayaimon flew off and disappeared out of sight in one second.
"Wow he's a fast flier," Agumon said.
Gabumon sighed and shook his head as Biyomon's anger build.
"Don't you get it Agumon!? That Digimon is going to attack Gatomon and Wizardmon and eat their child! We have to stop them!" Biyomon said, smacking Agumon on the snout.
"Ow," Agumon moaned and rubbed his nose, "I know…but how? We don't even know where their hideout is."
Biyomon thought for a minute, "We'll have to tell the others and get some help. But make sure you don't tell Gatomon or Wizardmon, we don't want either of them getting worried. We'll just keep them safe for the time being."
Agumon and Gabumon nodded in agreement.
"Ah, today is October 25th. The time is coming closer and closer," Gatomon said marking off the calendar.
Wizardmon nodded, "You excited?"
"Of course, other than the fact this'll cause a lot of pain. Mrs. Kamiya told me so."
"Yeah it seems pretty obvious that it will."
Gatomon sighed and sat next to her lover, on the couch, "Isn't everything so great. Sora pregnant and engaged with Tai, me pregnant, everyone just happy?"
Wizardmon smiled and nodded in response.
"And there's nothing to worry about," Gatomon said with a happy sigh and leaned back to get comfortable.
Gatomon closed her eyes for a second, till Kari's voice woke her up.
"Gatomon? Hey you asleep?" Kari asked, shaking her somewhat.
"No," Gatomon said, slightly yawning, "I think Wizardmon is. Although we just woke up about three hours ago. Anyway what is it that you want?"
"Oh, uh the girls and I are planning a baby shower for Sora and we thought we should do it for the both of you if it's ok with you?"
"Sure, I don't mind. Just…don't buy loads of baby things," Gatomon said with a giggle, "I don't think baby Digimon need much of that."
Kari smiled, "Of course, I'll tell the others that too."
"When is this?"
"On the 30th."
"Ok."
"Well I'm off to the store with Yolei," she said and walked out the door. Gatomon had her eyes closed and only responded with a "mhm".
Joe worked busily in his office, as usual, and once again, as usual again, the phone rang. Joe moaned and slowly picked it up, "Doctor Kido speaking."
"Oh, doctor, there are some Digimon here that want to talk to you, a Biyomon, Agumon, and Gabumon," said the woman at the desk on the other end of the phone.
Joe blinked…what are those three doing here? "Alright, send them over."
"Joe!!!" Agumon yelled running down the hall to him, "We have terrible news!!"
"Don't tell me he dropped a piece of candy into the gutter again, why does he always come to me about it," Joe said sighing, with his hand to his forehead and keeping his eyes on his work.
The three Digimon made it to his room; he noticed and asked what they wanted.
"It's terrible! We know the Digimon that are killing those baby Digimon and couples!" Biyomon said.
Joe went wide eyed and immediately stood up, knocking over his chair, "What!? Who are they! WHERE are they!?"
"The only problem is we met one of them, and he told us his name and the name of his boss," Gabumon said.
Joe sighed, "Well what are their names?"
"Hayaimon, he's a ninja-like bird Digimon and he said his boss is VenomHebimon but he wouldn't explain to us what he looked like," Biyomon said.
Agumon nodded along with her, "And this bird Digimon is a very fast flier! Almost faster than Triomon can run!"
Joe sighed, turning around toward his back was to them and looking out a window, "This is a problem. I hope for the best you guys keep looking for them."
"Yes, we must…because there is another problem and it involves Gatomon," Biyomon said.
Joe turned to her quickly, "You don't mean?"
"Yes, he knows about her. I think that he's got Digimon spying on her."
"This isn't good, we must have Digimon keeping an eye on her constantly."
"They said they won't attack until the child is born."
"Well, it is best that we have someone watch over her every now and then so that we can see who the spies are."
The three Digimon nodded.
"And I know the perfect mon too," Agumon said.
"Me?!" Patamon asked aloud.
"Shhhh!!" Agumon said, looking around, "We don't want many to know. You must promise not to tell Gatomon about the Digimon. OR Wizardmon, we don't want either of them worrying. Matter a fact, only us Digimon and Joe will know about it. Now, all you have to do is stay near Gatomon, just not toward she sees you and make sure you look out for suspicious people or Digimon."
Patamon nodded, stood up with his chest puffed up and put his paw to his forehead as if he were saluting someone important, "I will my best at watching over her and her child you can count on me!"
Agumon nodded, "Good, now I've got to head back to the digital world, if I were you I'd get started."
Patamon nodded and flew off and Agumon walked away to meet up with Gabumon and Biyomon.
"Oh! Look at that! It's so cute!!" Yolei squealed.
She and Kari were in the baby section of a store, looking for things for Sora.
"Hey! I have an idea," Kari said, "Let's get Gatomon's baby a little collar."
"Why?"
"Wouldn't it just look cute though? We could get a pink one!"
"Yeah!!"
The two of them went over to the pet section.
Hawkmon was hanging around somewhere else, bored and annoyed that he had to go with. Then suddenly Biyomon came into the store.
"Biyomon?" he asked, saying it more to himself and walked over to her.
"Come on, I'll tell
you on the way," Biyomon said, grabbing his wing and attempting to
pull him.
"But, shouldn't I tell Yolei first?"
"Don't worry, we'll send her an email about it…just let's go!"
"O-okay…" Hawkmon said, letting Biyomon just drag him.
"Hey…where'd Hawkmon go?" Yolei asked, looking around.
"Who knows, maybe he left…don't worry," Kari said.
Yolei nodded and soon the two were squealing over little baby socks.
Mimi looked down at the list of foods she needed to get. It wasn't much, but she sure got worked up over it and couldn't wait to bake up a bunch of sweets. Palmon was in the shopping cart, enjoying the ride till she saw Gabumon over by the window. It seemed he was trying to get her attention and wanted her to come to him.
"Hey Mimi, stop the cart…I need to do something really quick," Palmon said.
Mimi stopped and let Palmon out, "Hurry back so we can bake the cookies together!"
Palmon nodded and ran outside to where Gabumon was waiting for her.
"You must come with us," Gabumon said.
"Why?" Palmon asked.
"It's very important, we need all of the Digimon's help …for Gatomon's sake."
"Gatomon!? Did something happen to her?"
"No, but I'll explain it to you later you must come with me!"
"But, can't we go later? I have to help Mimi cook the treats for the baby shower."
"No, we don't have much time you must come with me at once."
"Alright," Palmon said and followed.
Later that day, Ken was out having a walk and soon came across Davis.
"Oh, hey," he said, "You look kind of worried."
"I am, I can't find Veemon anywhere," Davis said.
"Yeah, Wormmon is gone too but I was sent an email from Joe that he was gone with the rest of the Digimon at the digital world. I don't know what's going on but I'm rather curious."
"Oh…really. I never got one," Davis said, talking about the emails.
"I guess they must've
forgotten," Ken said nodding.
"Whaaaaat!!!" Davis shouted,
grabbing others' attention.
"Shh, quit drawing attention," Ken said, "Don't worry they'll be back soon."
"I know that, but why do they always forget me!?" Davis said, still being a bit loud.
"Why're you asking me?" Ken said, raising an eyebrow.
Davis shook his head, "Forget it, I'm heading home…it's getting cold out here."
"Winter his pretty much here soon," Ken answered. Soon flakes of snow began to fall.
"Wow you're good," Davis said, blinking at the sudden change of weather and looked up at the sky, "I swear the forecast said it was sunny all day long today."
"Well they're not always right, anyway I'm going to head home. Bye."
"Bye," Davis said and the two walked their separate ways.
Gatomon stared out the window, the whole area got white quickly, "It's so beautiful."
Wizardmon sat down next to her, with two mugs of hot chocolate in his hands, "Yes it is."
"Oh…thank you," Gatomon said taking the mug that he offered her.
Soon it got dark, and up on their roof was a shivering Patamon.
"I...must…n-not ke-keep my eye o-off of h-her," he said to himself, trying to keep himself warm as more snow flakes fell. He looked around, it was so dark he knew he couldn't find anyone. Suddenly their was a sneeze from somewhere and another voice saying "shhhh you idiot." Patamon stood up a bit, having his ears perked up, "Who's there?!
Two figures stiffened up against the wall near the window that was below the roof. Patamon flew down and saw them, he gasped, "So! You're the spies huh!"
Goblimon and Gazimon exchanged scared looks a few times then started to run off.
"Oh no you don't!! Boom Bubble!!"
Gatomon paused took her eyes off the TV and looked outside, "Was it me or did I hear Patamon's attack?"
Wizardmon looked out the window too, "Well whatever it was it's gone now."
The two shrugged and turned their attention back to the TV.
Patamon held onto Gazimon's tail and Goblimon's shirt tight, "Tell me who you are and why are you spying on Gatomon!"
The two refused to talk.
Patamon opened his mouth, ready to attack.
"OK! We'll tell you!" Gazimon said.
Patamon let go and the two turned around to him, "We are Gazimon and Goblimon, henchmen and spies of VenomHebimon."
"VenomHebimon!" Patamon said, recognizing the name because Agumon had told him about him.
"We were spying on Gatomon so we can know when she's ready for birth so we can take here away and take her to our boss," Gazimon said with a big grin.
Goblimon shook his head like an idiot, "Yeah! And…and remember the boss said he likes fresh babies!"
Gazimon rolled his eyes, "Yes, that's the point I just made. Anyways if you excuse us, we have to return home."
"Oh no you don't!" Patamon said and was ready to attack again.
"That's it, I'm fighting back," Gazimon said, and looked at Goblimon with a nod and the two got ready to attack. As soon as Patamon launched his attack, the two dodged it and attacked him back, knocking him unconscious. The two snickered and ran off.
Gatomon's ears perked up, "Ok this time I know I heard Patamon!" She then went out onto the balcony and looked around, then she saw Patamon outside on the sidewalk, "Patamon!"
Wizardmon got up to look, he flew down and picked Patamon up then took him back to the house. He laid him onto the couch while Gatomon got a cool rag to place on his forehead.
"He seems to have got beaten pretty badly, he's got a few scratches too," Wizardmon said.
"I'll get some bandages too," Gatomon said.
Soon Patamon began to stir awake, first it was blurry and all he could see was the colors blue, orange, and green before him till his vision fixed and he could see Wizardmon looking down at him.
"Are you alright? What happened?" Wizardmon asked.
Patamon sat up, yelling, "Gatomon!"
"Yeah?" Gatomon asked, poking her head out from the bathroom.
Patamon sighed, "Never mind."
"Well, what happened?"
"Huh? Oh…nothing," Patamon lied, remembering that he couldn't tell them about the Digimon spying on him and who Hayaimon and VenomHebimon. He tried his best not to think about them so Wizardmon couldn't read his mind either.
"Well then, why do you have scratches?"
"Oh…I tripped."
Wizardmon blinked, he had scratches on lots of places that wouldn't come from the result of tripping.
"Alright, I think you've hit your head rather hard there Patamon."
Patamon noticed a slightly bruised bump on his forehead, he rubbed it somewhat.
-Later that night-
"Are you sure you don't want to stay, it would be best so that you won't get hurt again," Gatomon said with slight concern in her voice.
Patamon shook her head, "It's alright, I'll be fine no need to worry."
"Alright, bye," Gatomon said and got a nod from Patamon as he flew off.
"I've got to tell Gabumon and the others right away!" Patamon said as he picked up his speed.
"I'm back!" Kari said some time later.
"Welcome back," Gatomon said with a smile, still cuddling with her lover on the couch and hot chocolate in her paws.
Kari smiled, grabbed her camera and took a picture, "Heh, you look rather comfortable."
The two Digimon before her nodded, "Very."
Kari laughed, "Well anyway sorry that I'm late. I ran into TK and he took me out to dinner, and my cell phone isn't working anymore."
Gatomon laughed, remembering the incident that happened in Paris.
Kari sighed and looked outside, "Wow it's beautiful, and it's only around the later October. We sure are going to have an early winter."
Gatomon and Wizardmon only nodded.
"Well all we know is you're going to have a winter baby, huh?"
Gatomon grinned, "Yep."
Kari smiled again and went into the kitchen, "That hot chocolate looks good…I'm going to make me some too."
