"And that's how Dokugu-Man took down his evil lookalike, Black." Ross said as he finished telling a story to Marissa as the two of them were talking in the research facility.
"Wow. You get yourself into some crazy situations." Marissa said.
"Ross." They both looked to the entrance and saw Kari.
"Kari? I haven't seen you in a while. What are you doing here?" Ross asked.
"I need to talk to you about you know who." Kari said and Ross knew this might be a problem.
"Marissa, can you give us a few minutes?" Ross asked and Marissa agreed and left the two. Kari was starting to get nervous about Davis. She's been trying to get in contact with him, but he's not answering and it's been hours. She decided to pay a visit to Ross to see if he could do something.
"So what do you think?" Kari asked.
"I wouldn't worry." Ross said. "Davis is more than capable of taking care of himself. So he didn't answer your calls. I'm sure he's fine."
"I know." Kari said. "It's just it's been hours. Wouldn't he have called back by now before or after dealing with some criminal? I just want to make sure he's safe."
"You do make a good point." Ross said. "Knowing him, he would have called you in an instant, crime or no crime. I'm sure he's fine, but I could use some action. Let's go see if we can find him." Ross left the facility with Kari and went to try and find Davis, but will they find him before its too late.
…
Davis
Davis kept trying to figure out how he was going to get out of this one. He kept pulling on the chains, but they wouldn't come lose and they were too strong to break.
"Come on. There must be some way for me to get out of this." Davis said as he tried to think. "Think. I have the powers of Spider-Man. What would he do? Probably use his massive science brain. I might have done pretty well in science, but I was never as big as an egghead as he was." He heard the door open up and saw Satina came back.
"Enjoying your stay?" Satina said.
"Even less now that you're here." Davis said. "So what do you want now?"
"I just realized something." Satina said. "With you restricted like that, I can have my way with you." She placed her hands on his chest and slid them around to feel his muscles.
"I've had enough of your games." Davis said, but there wasn't really anything he could do. Satina was enjoying herself again as she slid her hands up his arm. "Satina, even you wouldn't go as far as to do this."
"Just be quiet and let this happen." Satina said. Davis was expecting the worse, but he was surprised when he felt his arm get free and oved his arm. Satina tossed something over to her other arm and Davis saw it was a key she used to free his other arm.
"Wait. You're really letting me go?" Davis said.
"You're complaining?" Satina said as he was trying to get feelings back in his wrists.
"Just confused. How did you get that key?" Davis said. Satina thought about how she did that.
"And some people will see you as a hero as some believe him to be a menace." Satina said as she walked over to him and massaged his shoulders. "It's a win-win. Dokugu-Man will be no more and your publicity as the man people believe you are rises."
What Royal wasn't aware of was that while Satina was massaging his shoulders, she was able to reach for the key and took it out of his pocket without him noticing.
"I have my ways. Now let's get out of here." Satina said as she led the way and the two of them made it out of the room. "Try and stick to the shadows. He's got cameras around."
"Got it." Davis said as the two of them were sneaking around. "So what made you decide to help me? Whose side are you really on?"
"Are you already forgetting what you told me?" Satina said, but Davis seemed a little confused. "You said that if I really feel the way I do about you, I would let you out regardless."
"Oh! I didn't think that would actually work." Davis said. "Satina, I'm flattered, but I just got back with my ex. Even if I didn't, I can't be with you because I'm not sure I can really trust you."
"I figured as much." Satina said. "Let's just get out of here. I have the evidence needed that will lock him away."
"No. I can't leave yet." Davis said. "I finally found out who Royal is. Even if we hand what information you have to the police, I'm sure he would find some way to escape them again."
"You do have a point. I'm also assuming you have your own personal grudge." Satina said.
"You got that right." Davis said and the two of them continued to move through the area. Soon they came across a doorway that had a couple guards from Royal's squadron. "What do you think is behind door number one?"
"Probably our guy. That's actually his office." Satina said.
"We just need to do something about those guards before they get the chance to warn him." Davis said.
"Leave it to me." Satina said. Both the guards were staying firm in their positions even when they saw Satina walking towards them.
"Stop. No one is allowed through here without authorization."
"Not even for me? I actually happen to be close acquaintance with Mr. Ramin." Satina said.
"We're gonna have to ask you to step back, ma'am, or we will use force." Both of them took aim with their blasters, but she didn't seem scared.
"No. I understand." Satina said as she slid her hands under their chins and tried to use her charm against them. "I'm sure you big and strong men do your jobs well."
"Well…I like to think I am pretty well."
"Back off." The other guard said and shoved him. "She was looking at me."
"You wish." He said as he shoved back and the two of them started fighting. That was until Davis webbed them both entirely and placed them both on the ceiling.
"Nice, but don't think you made me jealous." Davis said. Satina just smirked and let herself in. Royal was on his desk and finalizing some papers until he saw Satina walked in.
"Satina? Is there something wrong?" Royal asked.
"There is, but it's your problem. Not mine." Satina said and Davis jumped right in and right over her to land on Royal's desk.
"Surprised." Davis said and royal truly was.
"How did you….?" Royal looked around for the key.
"Looking for this?" Satina said as she held it out.
"You betray me?" Royal said.
"We weren't exclusive." Satina said.
"It's over Royal. People are going to know what you did and you're going to be locked away for a long time." Davis said.
"I don't think so." Royal said as he pressed a button under his desk. It caused him and his chair to be lifted up and went through a secret hatch in the ceiling.
"You're not getting away." Davis said as he jumped on and went after him.
"Wait for me." Satina said as she followed them. Both of them emerged in a room that looked like a lab.
"What is this place?" Davis said.
"I don't know. I've never been in this room before." Satina said.
"And you won't be leaving here alive." They looked to see Royal behind a glass wall and some gatling guns were aimed right at them. "I hope you like cheese. You two are about to have more holes in you than swiss." The guns gained power and were about to fire, but Davis moved faster and got Satina out of the way as they took cover behind a metal support beam.
"Is now really the time to cozy up?" Satina said.
"Is now really the time for your flirting?" Davis said. They both were pinned down and there wasn't an opening for them to slip out of. "I know those things will overheat and blow if I web them, but I need a clear shot. I can't step out and web those things without getting shot."
"Leave it to me." Satina said and stepped out.
"No!" Davis called out, but Satina was able to stay on her toes. Davis had to act now. He shot out his webs and managed to get one with it starting to overheat. Davis webbed the other one and also used his strength to pull it out of place. Davis used the momentum and the strength to toss it at the glass wall. It smashed through, but Royal caught it. He slid back and through the door in the back and into a hall. Even after getting slammed against it, Royal was able to stay on his feet.
"Is that the best you can do?" Royal said as the two of them stepped out. "I guess I'm just going to need to take matters into my own hands."
"Finally going to stop hiding behind others, are we?" Davis said. Royal reached down for the floor and was able to pull a piece out. He charged at both of them with that rock, but they both moved out of the way. "You mean that's muscles. I thought it was all fat."
"That's just plain rude." Royal said and he tossed it at him, but Davis ducked down as it smashed through a window. Royal was walking over to him, but Satina kicked Royal in the back of the head. However, Royal grabbed her by the leg and slammed her against the floor. "As for you, no one betrays me."
"Don't you know that's not how you treat a lady?" Davis said.
"You can have her." Royal said as he tossed Satina at him. She slammed against him and they both knocked down. "Now to crush the both of you."
…
Ross and Kari
"Yahoo!" Ross said as he created a slide of ice through the air as Kari was holding on for her life.
"Do you think maybe we can slow down?" Kari asked.
"Where's the fun in that?" Ross said. He seemed to have been enjoying the ride, but he heard some sort of crashing sound. Both of them looked at one of the buildings and saw windows breaking.
"That's the Ramin Industry." Kari said.
"This can't be good." Ross said.
…..
The Building
Satina and Davis were running and Royal was coming after them. He was much stronger than Davis thought and was going to need a plan.
"Who are the cowards now?" Royal taunted.
"Why are we running? We should turn and fight." Satina said.
"We need a plan. He's too strong to take head on." Davis said. He looked around to see if there was anything he could use and he spotted that something. "Got it." He jumped and turned to Royal. "Here's web in your eyes." He shot out some web and it landed right in Royal's eyes.
"You think that will save you?" Royal said as he tried to yank it off his face. When he did, they were both gone and he tried to wonder where they went. "You can't hide from me!"
"Who's hiding?" Satina said as she came down from above and used a power cord from the ceiling. She placed it against him and Royal was being electrocuted. Royal was able to pull away, but he tripped on a web Davis left for him and lost his balance and was about to smash through a window.
"Uh oh!" Davis said as both he and Satina tried to save him. Royal ended up falling through the window, but he grabbed a hold of Satina and they were both falling. "No!" Davis dived down after the both of them. Davis was falling faster and used his webs to web Royal and have him stick to the wall. Davis fell after Satina and was able to grab her and web swing before it was too late. "I wouldn't rip through that if I were you, Royal." The two of them swung off and left Royal dangling over a thousand feet from the ground and dethroned Royal. Davis and Satina swung over to another roof building and landed down.
"Does being a superhero mean you always save the girl?" Satina said.
"Pretty much." Davis said.
"Dokugu-Man!" Both of them looked and saw Kari and Ross arriving.
"Are you all right?" Kari asked as she ran to him.
"I'm fine. Royal had me captured, but Satina saved me." Davis said.
"So this is Satina. I wish I could say it's nice to meet you, but I'm not entirely sure." Ross said.
"Whatever." Satina said.
"Satina, I do thank you for helping me out, but this changes nothing." Davis said.
"I had a feeling. A girl has to try." Satina said. She reached inside her outfit and pulled out the file she stole from Royal. "Here. You might want to take this."
"What is it?" Davis asked as he took it.
"Evidence of all the illegal activities Royal has done." Satina said. "It will lock him up and if I were you, I hand all this over as your normal identity. You'll be rewarded big for that because he's got a bounty on his head from several other countries. It will be worth millions."
"Satina, I don't know what to say." Davis said. "Should I really take it? A hero should stop a criminal without a reward, right?"
"Dude, I'm not sure I would really listen to her, but I think you should take the offer." Ross said.
"Maybe he's right. You're always complaining about your apartment and everything. This could be the break you deserve." Kari said.
"Thank you, Satina." Davis said.
"No worries. Don't think this is over between us either." Satina said. "Anytime you want to start our little arrangement again, just let me know. See you around." Satina took off and left Davis to wonder if he should really hand all this in as Davis Motomiya instead of Dokugu-Man.
"Arrangement? What arrangement?" Kari questioned and Davis gave a nervous laugh.
…
Five Months Later
'After taking down Royal, I took Satina's suggestion.' Davis narrated. 'I was unsure, but I went through with it. I guess its okay to think for yourself every once in a while as long as you have friends that have your back. So I handed in the money and actually earned over a million dollars. I even was able to find Veemon and got him to come back and now we're living large.
Davis made some good investments with the reward and earned over millions of dollars. With that, he could follow his dream and open up his noodle business. What's more is that now he's moving into a penthouse that he plans on sharing with Kari.
"Oh my gosh! This place is amazing." Kari said as she, Davis, and their partners were settling in.
"You said it." Gatomon said.
"Ha! I knew we would make it to a place like this one day." Veemon said.
"You're right. We just couldn't lose our faith." Davis said and gave Kari a little peck.
'As for Satina, I haven't really seen her for a while. Probably for the best. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to have her and Kari in the same room.' Davis narrated. 'Looks like things are looking good for me now.'
"Special delivery." Someone said at the door. Davis answered the door and saw a delivery person with a gift basket. "For Davis Motomiya."
"That's me." Davis said as he took it and gave the guy a tip. Davis opened the package wrap and took out a card.
'Enjoy your new home. See you around.' There was also a kiss mark and Davis knew who it was from. Although Davis doesn't plan on getting involved with Satina again, it's nice knowing he's got another friend who supports him all the time.
