"So who's your Momma little guy?" Good Cop asked the bouncey little Darkgramon Bad Cop having switched back to have a rest.
"My Momma's the biiiiiggest Digimon around sides that mean old snake on the mountain's." Darkgramon giggled "He's a big old grump who says everyone gotta feed him cos he's big. Momma used to feed him like everyone else but when I came along she said there wasn't nough hunting to feed me, her and the snake so she told him so and they gots in a biiiig fight." Good Cop frowned.
"What happened the Garurumon mentioned she won?" Darkgramon nodded.
"Uhuh she gave him a big scar cos he didn't like she wouldn't feed him anymore and he bit her. Then she got really sleepy and told me I gotta be a big boy now and take care of my self while she slept." Cop frowned a little having a bad feeling as they came up to a cave Darkgramon running in "Come on!"
I have a bad feeling I know what's going to be in there, do you want me to take over for you? Good shook his head.
"No I can handle it, and if the little guy really hasn't realized well….Your not the best at dealing with kids, let alone emotional kids once he does realize…" Bad sighed knowing he was right.
Let's just hope he's right and she is just asleep. Good nodded stepping into the cave, and gagging.
The air was thick with the smell of blood and decay making him wonder how Darkgramon's scales didn't stink of it or how scavengers hadn't found the cave.
"Down here!" Darkgramon called from the back of the cave a turn in it hiding what must have been causing the smell.
"Maybe she's just bad at cleaning up…." Good muttered feebly more to try and reassure his self then explain it to his other half, reluctantly following and freezing in shock.
Darkgramon wasn't kidding when he said she was big, the massive dragon in front of him was the size of a building. A single clawed paw could have swept aside an elephant without the creature noticing, It was almost a miracle the beast could have gotten into the cave in the first place. And as if her own bulk wasn't intimating the creature was covered in thick spiked armour.
Not that the armour or size seemed to have done her much good in the end. One of her huge wings was mangled the white of bone visible threw her scales and the armour buckled in places if not completely seared off. Fang marks riddled the metal and the heavy smell of blood was explained by the dried staining on her scales and armour, along with the gaping wound in the beasts side.
The mortal injury tore open the dragon's side leaving her ribs exposed to the air, with a sickening gag Good realized he could see between them and into the creatures innerds. The wound he was quickly realizing was a single bite should have killed the creature the moment the huge fangs that ripped threw metal, scale and flesh had sunken in. but if Darkgramon and the Garurumon where to be believed, she had survived.
Mothers will do anything for their child, she challenged the thing that did that to her so that she could try and ensure she could get enough food for her son without giving it up.
"Momma! Momma! We got guests!" Darkgramon chirped into the dragon's ear resting his paws on her cold cheek pouting "Come on Momma you can't sleep while Cop's here!" Good winced a little as Darkgramon kept trying to wake her up.
"We can't leave him here…God knows when he finally figures it out the little guy's going to be traumatized."
We're in a strange place we know nothing about and you want to adopt a baby dragon who belongs here.
"He's a baby, their's no way he's going to survive, look at him!" He could feel Bad wince in the back of his mind seeing the tiny skin and bones baby easily.
But…He's a wild animal.
"Who can think and reason like a human."
We know nothing about child or animal care.
"We can get Ma and Pa to help out when we get home." Bad Cop struggled to find another reason to say no.
But he-!
"Knows this place well and can probably help us find the others."
….There are times I hate you, you know that?

"Weeeeeell Betamon! We're waiting!" Betamon groaned trying to keep his head above the quickly turning red water. He really couldn't keep this up much longer, he was losing blood too quickly and his back leg wasn't responding anymore. Weakly admitting defeat he swam to shore dragging his self out of the water grunting as the Blossomon snapped it's thorny vines around him and lifted him into the air.
"So much for your bravado eh? Orochimon's sick of your shit with refusing to pay tribute to him. So now we're gonna feed you to him!" Betamon gulped weakly struggling.
"N-no don't!" Volcamon scoffed.
"Quit your squrming, save your strength for Orochimon, he likes his food having a kick as he swallows it whole." He chuckled darkly walking off towards the mountain the great serpent made it's home. Only to freeze when Blossomon screamed seeming to drop Betamon, the small amphibian realizing something had sliced through the vines holding him the thorny bindings still holding onto him but much looser the finned Digimon wiggling free limping with his none responsive leg.
"W-what the-EH!" He gasped out as Volcamon kicked him close to the tree line the little digimon whimpering in pain. "O-oh ya, k-kicking a guy while he's d-down, real big of you…" Betamon muttered struggling to get up.
"I don't know what you did but you're going to pay for that!" Blossomon hissed his vines leaking a greenish blood.
"You know what, I don't think the boss'll mind us bringing you back dead and broken. Easier for him to swallow." Volcomon growled holding his microphone Betamon tensing fin weakly sparking.
"MAGMA-" The larger Digimon yelped as something hit his hand and dropped his mike the small device shattering an odd black bat shaped boomerang landing in the sand the sun reflecting off it's metallic surface.
"What the…" Betamon muttered confused sight starting to swim the blood loss taking it's toll. He was just vaguely aware of a gloved hand grabbing his fin in the confusion pulling him away from the two larger Digimon before he passed out half dead from blood loss, his last thought was a vague hope that he'd wake up again.

"I. Hate. JUNGLES!" Business growled smacking a vine away growling when it just rebounded and hit him in the head "This is why I lived in the nice clean structured city and not Mata Nui or-Or Jurassic island!"
"Ehy! Why don't you whine a little louder bud?! I don't think the old Jijimon on the other side of the island heard ya!" A pair of yellow eyes glared out the creak of a tree. Business froze and turned.
"….Is that a Brooklyn accent?" He threw his hands up. "How the hell did a guy from Brooklyn get stuck in a tree?!"
"Ehy! I anint' stuck numb nuts!" The voice snapped the creature it belonged to fluttering out. At first glance it looked like a bat but it had no head it's body seeming to be it's head with over large feet tipped in red claws and the bat looking like it was wearing patch work leather.
"…..What…..The….Actual….Fuck?" Business's eye twitched. "What the hell are you?!" The bat glared.
"I'm DemiDevimon, Now SHUT UP! SOME OF US ARE TRIN' TA SLEEP HERE!" Business stumbled a little startled, weather by the bat creature flying up to yell in his face or just that someone WOULD yell in his face he wasn't sure.
"You are very rude!"
"Ya an I'm tryin to enjoy my last nap before Orochimon's goons come for me for not paying tribute to that fat ass!" He blinked as the bat-DemiDevimon looked away grumbling to his self.
"….Wait what?" DemiDevimon groaned growling.
"I couldn't get nough food together to pay tribute to Orochimon, so now 'is thugs are gonna come and get me and feed me to the big scally lump!"
"…..Then why stay? The Master Builders where smart enough to know when I came after them to keep moving and find a safe place I didn't know about when I sent the Super Secret Police after them." He pointed out, DemiDevimon scoffed.
"This is HIS Island, there ain't no place he and his thugs don't know."
"Then get off the Island." He shook his head.
"No go, he has Flyin Digimon patrolin the only Digimon who get off are the ones who migrate." Business blinked before realizing that the little bat was resigned to his fate. He sighed mulling it over before grumbling grabbing the small bat "Ehy-EHY What you doing?!" DemiDevimon yelped as Business started carrying him off.
"Saving your life…I think…..Ok I hope." He sighed "Emmet's better at the hero stuff then I am."

Lucy sighed as the small group walked along the beach.
"We've been going for hours with no sign of them, maybe we should go to that village ToyAgumon mentioned." The digimon froze and turned.
"No no no fuck NO!" The multi-coloured dino yelped.
"Where else do you suggest we find a Pirate Mech, a vigilante in a bat costume, a duel minded cop and a former villain business man?" Kybimon asked innocently.
"….When you say it like that I'd say a bar." He snarked sighing
"Please ToyAgumon, maybe someone there was one of the other chosen Digimon and one of them is waiting for us." Emmet tried ToyAgumon twitched and groaned and reluctantly nodded.
"Fine, but keep my name out of it….And I want a Jacuzzi!"
"Noted." Unikitty blinked and pointed up.
"Is that a red penguin?" The group looked up at the large out crop of rocks seeing a ruby red and yellow penguin at the top.
"Oh that's just Muchomon, she's harmless. Bit of a loon but harmless." Emmet blinked seeing the rather large penguin spread her flippers.
"Uhr ToyAgumon?"
"She's just pretending to fly." He waved it off Emmet shaking his head seeing her preparing to jump.
"She's not pretending!" He yelped as she leapt off the bird plummeting to the surf flapping her flippers.
"K-Kybi! Do something!" UniKitty yelped covering her eyes the small Digimon zooming up and catching the penguin Muchomon struggling in her grip.
"N-nooooo! No I can fly! Really really I can!" She was lowered to the ground sniffling.
"You ok?" Lucy asked kneeling by her, she sobbed covering her eyes.
"No….The Biyomon attacked me when I wanted to migrate with them…..I just want to fly." She whined Lucy patting her head feeling bad for her. She blinked her hoodie pocket vibrating pulling out the Device she'd gotten before the color changing to red and yellow to match Muchomon.
"Uhrm, congrats?" Emmet tried kneeling with her feeling bad for the distraught Digimon. Kybimon smiled patting her head.
"Don't worry, you'll fly soon, very soon."
