Chapter 16: More than a Machine

It had been a good while since Okamon ushered us out of the room, I was growing more and more tense as the seconds passed by, I hated leaving Jason's side when he was in such a vulnerable state, but I refused to start a fight with him in the room, one stray bullet or missed attack could have made things much worse.

CLANG! THUNG!

I jumped, something was happening in there! I knew I shouldn't have left his side! I ran back to the door, but it wouldn't open! I tried and tried but the door just wouldn't budge! No no no no! Not like this! OPEN! Even with my robotic strength I couldn't even get it to budge.

"Commandramon what's going on?" I heard Patamon ask, another loud bang answered his question instantly. Someone was fighting in there, and Jason was right in the crossfire, helpless and trapped in a healing pod! I had to get in there!

Meanwhile…

This was not going well, Datamon was too powerful, and was easily beating me. I could barely move without Datamon smacking me into a wall or slamming me into the floor. I could tell by his manic laughter that he was enjoying this, he could easily kill me with one shot, but he clearly wanted to drag this out, toy with me, and there was nothing I could do.

Datamon's laughter echoed through the infirmary, "You foolish mutt! You really thought you could fight me off? That you could walk in here with those idiot Digidestined and what? Save this foolish girl? Look at her, she's already broken, and soon, you will be too!" He said, before ensnaring me in one of his metallic arms, and throwing me through a door at the end of the room.

I crashed through the metal door and rolled helplessly across the floor before finally being able to catch myself. I was now in a large and empty room, it almost looked like a hanger of some kind, despite my knowledge of the Metal Empire I didn't know what this room was for. But I had bigger problems, Datamon wasted no time in pursuing me, coming in through the new hole he had made. "Oh come now Okamon, where is that "instinct" you boasted about so much? I thought I was inferior according to you because I relied too much on logic? It appears to me it's quite the opposite," He said, god I hated this Digimon…

I had to keep him distracted, I couldn't let him break from me to attack Bridget or Jason, I might not be able to fight him, but I can still dodge him. "Your ego will be your own downfall Datamon," I said, getting him good and riled would keep his focus on me. Datamon wasn't hard to figure out, he was egotistical, and lashed out whenever anyone said he was even slightly less than perfect.

And my plan worked, I could see the anger in his eyes, or… eye.. rather, "Worthless words from a worthless Digimon! I am perfection! And after I'm done with you and the Digidestined, I'm going to overthrow the king, and then the whole Digital World will be like the Metal Empire! Ruthless, efficient, and without weaknesses!" He boasted as he missed another swing of the arms. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised he lacked loyalty to even the king, Datamon was only out for himself.

Datamon took another swing, I wasn't able to adjust in time and took a nasty hit to the head, I was sent spiraling through the air before slamming against a catwalk before plummeting to the ground. I didn't know how much more I could take, the fact I was surviving any blows from an ultimate like Datamon was surprising by itself, but I doubted my luck would continue much longer.

I was beginning to regret not bringing at least one of the Digidestined with me, they might have the ability to Digivolve to Champion, it wasn't much, but it would certainly be better than a lone rookie getting clobbered by an ultimate. I tried to get up, but my body was beginning to give out, I could barely even move without pain shooting through my body.

Datamon moved in closer, "Aww… what's the matter Okamon? Your body giving out? Such is the weakness of flesh! You organics tire out so quickly, but I can go on forever! Face it Okamon, you lost this fight before it even began!" Datamon taunted.

This was it, I was going to die here, Datamon knew he had me, and knowing what I knew about him, he wouldn't make it quick, he'd savor it, make me suffer. My only hope now is that I bought Bridget enough time to escape, I'm sorry master… I tried…

Meanwhile…

Dammit! I couldn't get the doors open! Datamon must have locked them, Okamon couldn't take Datamon, I knew he couldn't, I hated having to rely on the Digidestined of all people, but I knew Jason had managed to Digivolve Commandramon, a champion stood a better chance against Datamon than a rookie like Okamon.

I tried to pry the doors open but they didn't even budge, all I was going to accomplish by pulling more was dislocating my shoulder, there had to be a way! I looked back at the doorway Datamon had sent Okamon through, I couldn't even bring myself to look longer than a few moments though, I knew Okamon was doomed, I didn't want to watch him get killed… it'd be too much.

I looked around for some alternate way out, the other door was locked too, because of course it was, Datamon didn't want me getting out, or anyone getting in to help me.

I then noticed a vent cover above the workstation where Datamon repaired his precious robots, I quickly rummaged through the drawers, before I managed to find a lone screwdriver, I quickly snatched it. Now, to get the vent cover off, I carefully climbed up the work bench, it wobbled slightly from my weight, making it difficult to balance myself. I managed to reach just high enough to get the top screws out, then the bottom two, the vent cover clanged loudly as it tumbled to the floor, I then heard an all too familiar sound drawing closer, oh god no…

Datamon suddenly appeared from the doorway, "Oh! Aren't you a clever little minx! But I'm not letting you go that easily little girl!" He said before he tore me from the work bench, sending me tumbling across the floor, Datamon began to approach, but stopped when he saw Jason in the healing pod, "And what do we have here? Why Bridget, where you trying to use one of my healing pods to heal a Digidestined? Well we can't have that now can we?" He said.

He was going to kill Jason! God I'm such an idiot, in my efforts to escape I managed to doom both of us! Datamon began to charge his Digital Bomb attack, no way he'd survive that! I had to think of something! I quickly took the office chair from the corner of the room and rolled it right at him, he was so busy reveling on how he was going to kill a Digidestiend he got blindsided by it, the chair scooping up his metal can of a body and sending him careening to the end of the room.

I had to get Jason out of that pod before Datamon recovered! I quickly went to work, canceling the healing protocol, he was only seventy five percent done, but I had no time to wait, the pod opened and I scooped Jason out of the bed, and ran. "GET BACK HERE YOU TRAITOR! I'LL KILL YOU!" Datamon roared from the infirmary.

I ran through the hanger, I could barely handle Jason's weight, but the adrenaline helped that be a non issue, I hid behind a pile of storage crates, I could still hear the whirs and clicks of Datamon's robotic body shuffling along, trying to find me, "You can't hide from me Bridget Shuno! When I find you, and I will find you, I'll make sure your death is slow and painful!" Datamon called out.

I was a sitting duck here! It wouldn't take Datamon long to find me, and when he did, I was dead, "I've waited so long for this moment Shuno! The day I finally got to kill you! You and your worthless pet have been a thorn in my side for far too long! And now, now you pay!" He threatened as he searched the room for me.

I felt movement in my arms, I looked to see Jason was waking up, "God… what happened?" He asked, I let him out of my arms and he picked himself up, holding his head, "Where am I?" He asked.

I took a moment to let him get his barrings before answering his question, "We're in some kind of hanger, you've been healing in a pod for over an hour but I had to get you out of there before it could finish because well, Datamon's trying to kill us," I explained.

He turned to me, "Where's Commandramon?" Jason asked.

I sighed, "He's in the cafeteria just outside the infirmary, Datamon locked him and the other prisoners out, I couldn't get the doors open," I explained. However, unfortunately, we had a new problem now.

Suddenly the boxes were ripped away from their spot, revealing Datamon's ugly mug, "THERE YOU ARE!" He yelled, me and Jason both ran as fast as we could, Jason was still clearly out of it, given how he wobbled when he ran, "You can't run forever humans!" Datamon threatened.

Jason tried to keep his pace up, "Split up! He can't come after us both!" Jason suggested, and with that, we both went in different directions, I knew Datamon would choose me first, he had a personal vendetta with me, and I was right, as Datamon went straight for me.

I rounded the next corner, trying to keep my distance, you wouldn't think Datamon would be very fast, but you'd be wrong, he was very fast, and I was beginning to lose steam. "What's wrong Bridget? Your weak flesh giving out? That's unfortunate," Datamon taunted, god why does he have to be such an asshole?

Meanwhile…

I kept running around the room, it seemed that Datamon had chosen to go after Bridget instead of me, Okamon had mentioned that Datamon and her had some sort of bad blood going on. So I decided to start looking for an exit, some means of getting to the others, I was useless without Commandramon, and even then I still had no clue how to digivolve him, but he still had a better chance than I did against Datamon.

However in my search, I found something else, over there in a bloody heap was Okamon, god he looked beaten, I wondered if he was even still alive, but as I got closer, I could see his stomach rising and falling, indicating he was at least still breathing. I rushed over to him, "Okamon! You alright?" I asked, of course it was a stupid question, does he look alright to you Jason? But I guess it was just a formality more than anything.

Okamon opened one of his eyes weakly, "J… Jason? W… where's B… Bridget?" He asked, coughing and sputtering between words, he wasn't going to last long like this, Bridget mentioned I was in a healing pod, if I could get him to one, I might be able to save him.

I scooped him up, being careful not to hurt him, "N… NO! Forget me! He'll kill her… I… I don't care what happens to me…" He protested, he tried to squirm out of my arms, but his body was far too beaten to even overpower me.

I quickly moved to the infirmary, "Dammit Jason… listen to me! Forget about me, get her out of here! PLEASE!" He pleaded with me, I know I probably should listen to him, but I couldn't leave him like that, not in good conscience.

I managed to get him into the infirmary, I guess those weird bed things were the healing pods, I gently placed the injured Digimon inside and shut the lid on him, he began to pound on the glass, "NO! Dammit! You're wasting too… too much time! Please! I'm not afraid to die… but I can't let him hurt her! Let me out!" He protested, man was he stubborn! I got him in the pod, all he was doing was wasting time crying about it.

I activated the machine, and it went to work, "Sorry, but I couldn't leave you like that, Bridget's fine if it makes you feel any better," I told him, well, she was fine for now, but I think it was better for him if he didn't know that. Now that he was dealt with, I needed to find a way out, I looked around the room until I noticed the vent shaft was open, I even saw it's cover on the floor. I guess Bridget had tried to escape through it, but Datamon caught her before she could.

I went over to it, "W… where are you going?" Asked Okamon, what must this look like to him? Poor guy probably thought I was going to cut and run.

I turned to him, "I'm getting help, you stay there and let the machine heal you, I'll be back," I said before managing to hoist myself into the vent, god I hope I could do this quickly, preferably before Datamon killed Bridget.

Man was this cramped, the vent was obviously not meant for a fully grown man to crawl through, but it was my only option, I kept going until I finally found the exit, one problem though, I couldn't get it open, the space was so cramped I couldn't even try to kick it down. I looked around in hopes that someone was there, god would it suck if I had gone in here only to get trapped… the great Digidestined of America, killed by vents and poor life choices.

I banged on the bars, "HEY! Anyone out there? I'm kinda stuck!" I called out, for a few moments, I thought no one had heard me, but soon I heard footsteps… oh god please don't let these be Datamon's robots!

Thankfully no, as I saw a pair of sneakers come into view, the figure wearing them then got on all fours, lowing their head to reveal it was Kate, "Jason? What are you doing in there?" She asked, oh thank god it was one of my fellow Digidestined.

I'd better explain, I don't know how much longer Bridget will last being chased by Datamon, "It's a long story, TL;DR, I got trapped in an infirmary, somehow got separated from Commandramon, and this vent was my only way out, you think you could get the cover off?" I asked, I doubted Kate had a screw driver handy, but it was the only hope I had here.

"Oh! I can take care of that!" Said Psychemon, Kate moved and Psychemon went to work, I couldn't tell what he was doing from where I was, but I saw a screw fall to the floor so whatever he was doing, it was working. It was only when he began to work on the bottom screws did I realize he was, somehow, unscrewing them with his horn.

I'd question it, but in my current situation, I'd rather not look a gift horse in the mouth. The vent cover then fell from it's place, allowing me to crawl out from it, "Thanks, now we've got to hurry, Bridget's not gonna last long being chased around by Datamon," I said, I had no clue where I even was now in relation to the infirmary, but I'd have to hurry.

Me, Kate, and Psychemon made our way through the halls, "Datamon's in there?" She asked as we quickened our pace.

I nodded, "Yeah, he's currently chasing Bridget through the back room hanger thing that's connected to the infirmary," I explained, in hindsight, I probably should have checked that room for an exit, but getting Okamon patched up kind of nixed that idea.

Man, this place was almost like a maze, winding hallways that sometimes lead to dead ends, it's like Datamon did this on purpose or something, considering his workforce was entirely slave driven, I guess he wanted to make escaping nearly impossible for anyone without a computer for a brain, but this didn't exactly help me any, Bridget wasn't going to last long by herself, we needed to get to her and fast.

Just hope she can last a little while longer…

Meanwhile…

I knew Datamon hated me, but I underestimated just how much he hated me. All the while I've been trying to duck him, he kept rambling on and on about how inferior I was, and that I would die here slowly and painfully. It was only a matter of time before he got to make that a reality…

I was getting worried, I was alone in here, Jason must have found an exit at some point because I hadn't seen him since we split up, I hadn't even managed to find Okamon, making me fear Datamon had indeed killed him. But I couldn't focus on that right now, I needed to focus on surviving, getting out of here alive.

Thankfully this place was full of crates I could hide behind and catch my breath, otherwise this little chase would have ended a while ago. "Why must you make things so difficult?" I heard Datamon say, "You were always so stubborn! You never knew when to just give up! Face it girl, you aren't meant to survive this encounter, I will kill you! It's inevitable!" He taunted.

My only hope was that Jason would find his Digimon in time, I wasn't going to last much longer like this, god if only I could Digivolve Okamon, but even if I could, Datamon took my Digivice along with everything else I had when he dumped me here. So either way, I was screwed here unless Jason could somehow get here in time, if he hadn't chosen to abandon me that is… I wouldn't blame him really, after all I'd done…

BOOM!

Something just exploded! I heard the loud sounds of clanging metal, it seemed someone had blown the doors in the infirmary, I could only hope it was Jason and his friends, Datamon seemed to take notice as well, "Well well, it seems someone has broken through the doors," He said, "Don't delude yourself into thinking you're saved Ms. Shuno, whoever broke those doors down will be dead soon enough!" He added before going off to do just that.

I moved in, I had to know who just broke through, but I had to be mindful not to let Datamon see me, I doubt even in this scenario he'd pass up a chance to take an open shot at me. I hid behind the wall separating this room from the infirmary, but soon I saw a Commandramon fly out from the room, hitting a stack of crates with a loud thud.

I moved to a more hidden area, I knew Datamon would be coming from that room to continue his attack on the Commandramon, "Well well, what do we have here?" Said Datamon as he closed in, "I had heard that one of the Digidestined had stolen one of my Commandramon, but not for long..." He said.

He was distracted, now was my chance! I saw a pipe on the floor, possibly knocked loose during his fight with Okamon, I grabbed it, and rushed Datamon, I knew exactly where to aim, his glass dome that protected his motherboard. I took a swing, the hardest I could muster, the glass dome shattered immediately on impact, Datamon stumbled forward, but regained his footing, "THERE YOU ARE!" He growled, "So typical of someone as simple minded as you, having to resort to dirty tactics to defeat your superior, sadly for you, my mother board is protected in a chrome Digizoid shell," He said, I wasn't trying to kill him, I knew I couldn't, I just wanted to distract him, and he was falling for it.

For all the bragging Datamon did about how "smart" he was, he was way too easy to manipulate, he was egotistical, and would never pass up a chance to brag about how great he thought he was, I needed to buy time for Jason to get back and Digivolve Commandramon, and keep Commandramon alive at the same time, both easily done by how desperate he was to prove he was better than me.

All I needed to do was keep him talking, "You know, for someone who claims he's the smartest Digimon in the Digital World, you're kind of an idiot," I said, I knew that comment would rile him up, he always lashed out when you dared question his brilliance.

And of course, he took the bait, "How dare you! I am more intelligent than anything in existence! You dare to question me?!" He snapped, this was too easy, I just had to be careful not to push him too far, or I'd risk him just killing me outright.

"Says the guy who lost one of his precious robots to a Digidestined," I snapped back.

Datamon glared at me, "First of all, he was under your watch when that happened, and second of all, he may be defiant now, but after I'm done with you and the rest of you pitiful humans, I'll have him reprogrammed," He said, I knew he'd throw that back at me, nothing was ever his fault.

"But you're the one who was supposed to program them to obey without question, so technically, it was your fault," I said, I could already see the anger building in that tin can body of his, nothing got to him more than claiming he made a mistake, Datamon never made mistakes, at least, according to him.

Datamon slammed his arms onto the floor, "NO! My programming is perfect! It was you! You screwed it up somehow! I don't make mistakes! I am PERFECT!" He screamed before letting out an electric burst that knocked me and Commandramon back.

Commandramon turned to me, "Well, he's angry now," He commented.

I nodded, "It's not hard, Datamon's a narcissist, all you have to do is question him and he'll go into a blind fury," I said, "Hopefully your tamer will get back here in time to make him pay for it though," I added.

Commandramon turned to me, "You woke him up?! He was still being healed!" He snapped, yeah I should have figured he'd be upset by that.

I rolled my eyes, "Datamon was about to kill him! I had to get him out of there, I had no choice!" I tried to explain to him, I wasn't exactly going to leave him there to get killed!

Commandramon took cover behind a crate and started taking shots at Datamon, the bullets bouncing uselessly against Datamon's Digiziod armor, "Where is he now?" He asked me.

I took cover on the opposite end, "I don't know, we split up in hopes one of us could find an exit! I haven't seen him since! And before you yell at me, it was his idea not mine!" I said, I could tell even from here Commandramon still hated me, so getting him to listen was tricky.

God, Jason where the hell are you?!

Meanwhile…

God dammit! How long have we been running? Where the hell even where we? These hallways seemed to just get us more and more lost the longer we moved through them, we eventually found another door, "Is it too much to hope this one leads to the infirmary?" Kate asked.

It probably was, but hey, no harm in trying right, the door opened to reveal an office of some sort, we all entered the room, it was covered in pictures of Datamon, god did this guy love himself, damn. "I think we just found Datamon's office," I commented.

"Hey… look at this!" Kate said, confused, I turned around and saw her holding an all too familiar robe, "He had it hanging on the wall, a trophy probably," She said, she then began to rifle through it's pockets, "Her Digivice has to be in here somewhere," She said.

Well we hadn't found Commandramon, but at least we'd found something of worth, with her Digivice Bridget could feasibly Digivolve Okamon. It was a victory, a small one, but a victory none the less. "Got it!" She said, producing Bridget's black Digivice. "Now all we have to do is get it to her," She added.

How the hell were we going to do that though? We had no clue where we were going! I noticed that Psychemon was rummaging through Datamon's desk, why he was doing this I didn't know, "Hey, Psychemon, what are you doing?" I asked.

Psychemon looked up, "Trying to see if he has a map or something," He said, it made sense, but there was a rather big problem with this line of thinking.

Datamon was a computer, he probably had the map to the place hardwired into his brain, why would he ever need a- "Hey! I found one!" Psychemon said, producing a rolled up paper, which he held triumphantly over his head.

Of course, why do I keep trying to apply logic to this world? This place was like wonderland, where everything made no sense and logic was for losers. Well, best not look a gift horse in the mouth, we all huddled around Datamon's desk and looked over the map, it seems my previous assumption of this factory's hallways being designed as a maze was actually pretty accurate, as each main room was connected by a maze like hall, with the cafeteria and infirmary being at the upper right, connected by a room simply labeled "Special Projects", well at least now I know what that room Bridget was in was for, sort of.

It seemed that we had been on the right track, the cafeteria wasn't that far off from the office we found ourselves in now, "Come on, we'd better hurry, Bridget's not going to last much longer on her own," I said, we all agreed and began to head for the Cafeteria, now that we knew where we were going, I felt more confident we'd reach them in time to stop Datamon.

We kept our pace down the halls, and soon enough we found the right door, the second we opened it, we found something we didn't expect…

The room was full of what I assumed where surviving prisoners, as they all wore the same blue uniform Bridget was wearing, but even stranger, the doors where blown open. Commandramon must have blown the doors somehow, which meant he was in the infirmary already and probably being chased around by Datamon, if not dead already.

We all rushed in, the infirmary was almost exactly how I left it, Okamon still in one piece inside the healing pod (thank god), the only thing out of place where the two mangled doors that laid upon the floor in crumpled heaps. Kate then noticed something, "Jason! Look out!" She said.

Before I could even question anything, she tackled me to the ground, some sort of electric surge came careening over out heads, we both turned to see Datamon had found us, "I was wondering where you'd disappeared to, it seems you've somehow managed to bring one of your useless friends to try to help you, well it won't do you any good, you and the queen will die here regardless!" He said, letting me know Bridget was at least still alive.

I got to my feet, "You don't scare me Datamon!" I said, that was a lie of course, I was actually pretty terrified, but I couldn't let him know that, I couldn't run from this, I had to stop him, who knows what would happen if Datamon was allowed to continue after this, what horrible fate he had in store for his remaining prisoners. "Me and Commandramon will stop you once and for all!" I added, trying to sound a lot more confident than I was.

Datamon glared at me, "So… you're the one who turned one of my creations against me…" He growled, "The Commandramon are mine boy! You had no right to take even one from me! They exist to serve me! Not some idiot human with delusions of heroism!" He snapped, should have figured he'd be a touch mad about that.

Before I could react, Datamon managed to grab me with one of his arms and tossed me into the next room, I hit the floor, tumbling across the floor and irritating several of my remaining injuries from before. "I was going to wait until after I killed Shuno to terminate you, but now that I know who you are… what you did… well, it's time for you to pay for your transgressions human," He said, oh wonderful, he's pissed at me now… great.

"NO!" I heard a voice call, I suddenly found myself tackled again, nearly getting blasted by another attack from Datamon, I managed to open my eyes to see Commandramon huddled over me, "Are you aright?" He asked me, I gave him a nod, words could not describe how glad I was to see him again, now if only I could digivolve him…

Datamon glared at us, "You little… you serve me! You will obey me! I created you! You only exist to serve me!" He screamed, but then… he grew a smirk, "And you will serve me… I have access to your programming Commandramon, I do hope you enjoyed your time with this worthless fleshbag, because it's about to end..." He said, it was only when Commandramon started clutching his head that I realized what he meant.

He was remotely hacking Commandramon, why the hell didn't I think of this before?! Of course he'd be able to do that! Dammit! And I basically just handed Commandramon to him on a silver platter! Would you like fries with your new brainwashed lackey Mr. Datamon? God I suck! All I could do was watch helplessly as Datamon reprogrammed my friend, in one small moment, hope turned to despair, my chance to fight back turned to a new weapon for Datamon to use against us.

Datamon cackled as he went to work, erasing the Digimon I had befriended with every second passed, "Don't feel so bad human, you were never meant to win, you were simply outmatched by your mental superior," He said, god I wanted to punch him, clock him right in his metal face… but I knew all that would do was break my hand, and Commandramon would be lost either way, just another mindless drone in his army…

But then, "Wait… what?! This… this can't be! He's… how is he… he can't!" Datamon said, his smug confidence had turned to fear and panic in an instant, I had no idea what was happening, I turned to my partner, he was still staining, but he had a look of determination in his face, he was fighting back… somehow he was fighting back! "You… can't stop this… you will obey! STOP FIGHTING ME!" Datamon screamed.

Commandramon stood firm, "NO!… I won't… I won't go back… To being… your slave! I am… my own Digimon! NOT A MINDLESS MACHINE!" He cried, oh my god… he's actually doing it! I think… He turned his gaze to me, "Jason… is my friend… you may… have created me Datamon… but… he… will always… be the one who taught me what I really was!" He winced before returning his glare to Datamon. "I'm not some mindless drone you can… manipulate to your… messed up whims… I am a living thing… with my own aspirations.. my own will! Jason taught me I could be so much more than just a machine! I am Commandramon! And I… will not… bow… to the likes… of YOU!" He said, before suddenly Datamon's metal, brain thing sparked and cracked.

Datamon stumbled, "Dammit! You overloaded my programming protocol! NO ONE DOES THAT TO ME!" He screamed, "You ungrateful little hunk of scrap! You betray your own creator for some… low life… worthless human?! Fine! You wish to be like the organics? Then you can die along with them!" He roared.

I got to my feet, "Looks like you're not getting him back after all Datamon, don't feel bad… you were simply outmatched by your mental superior," I said, I couldn't resist throwing his words back at him, god it felt so good to finally get a leg up on one of the King's cronies, I felt my Digivice come alive, "Digispirt… charge," I said.

Commandramon soon took the form of Sealsdramon, my courage had finally managed to make it work again, Datamon was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his smugness, "A Champion won't be enough to stop me human, I created Sealsdramon, you don't think I know how to destroy them?" He said.

Sealdramon rushed him, "DEATH BEHIND!" He cried, he got behind Datamon and tried to get him with his knife, but Datamon's armor simply deflected the blade, letting Datamon get Sealsdramon with a metallic bitch slap.

Sealsdramon skidded across the floor from the impact but managed to catch himself, Datamon turned around to face his opponent, "You really thought you could outmatch me? I'm not just any Ultimate level Digimon, I am the Ultimate Level Digimon, I can calculate your attacks before you even blink! You should have just let me reprogram you Sealsdramon, because by the end of this encounter, being a mindless drone will sound pleasant by compassion," Datamon said.

And there goes my confidence, despite me Digivolving him, Datamon was still too powerful! Datamon began to savagely beat Sealsdramon, tossing him around and slamming him into everything around them, it was as if I'd never Digivolved him at all! This was bad… really bad, out of the three tamers here, I was the only one who could Digivolve his partner, and it still wasn't enough! Dammit all! How the hell do I beat this guy?!

A/N: And another cliff hanger! Will Jason and Sealsdramon be able to overcome Datamon's power? Will Bridget and Okamon survive to redeem themselves? Stay tuned!
