Ominous Flame
Chapter 33
Author Notes: Guess who's feeling under the weather? Yay me(*cue sarcasm here) but considering this chapter-there's some common ground. So to make myself feel better we are getting this one posted. I do not own Digimon.
3rd P.O.V
"Be safe all of you!" It was a risky plan they were setting up. But they had to act fast. "We'll be back soon." They were all on a time limit. Tommy along with the hamburger recipe he created was taken away like they thought.
Between that and Takuya currently knocked out due to his medication, they couldn't afford to screw this up. "Alright let's go!" Zoe and JP were in their human spirits, with Koichi and Koji in beast spirit form. All of their evolutions based on speed.
They would catch up with the Chamelemon who were escorting(kidnapping) Tommy, find out where Papaburgermon is, defeat Petaldramon and get back safe and sound. "Look I see them!" Immediately JP is shushed by Zoe, all of them slowing down their speed.
"Are we even sure it's Petaldramon? For all we know it could be another 'big, scary digimon." Koji made a good point as they whispered among one another. This was the most delicate part of the job. They needed to go at a numemon's pace.
Koichi narrowed his eyes, meeting Tommy's as he glanced back towards them. "The TorikaraBallmon heard the Chamelemon call their master that." And even if the little chick digimon didn't, all of the digidestin had seen their artwork.
The sloppy shapes and color scheme matched the beast spirit of wood to a T. "What is with all the castles in this world?" Add to the obvious wood themed architecture. "WHERE'S MY BURGERS!" And the obnoxiously loud mouth pretty much confirmed it was Cherubimon's minion...
"Boss! Boss! We brought more help to make you even more hamburgers~" Tommy was all but pushed into an open, outdoor kitchen. "Now that's more like it! Eh? Wait a sec. Haven't I seen yous before?" And that was their cue!
Together with a battle cry, all four of them rushed out, revealing themselves to attack. "What the!?" It was a mess of elements as Tommy rushed to Papaburgermon's side. "Oh? Who are you?" The digichef was only a little bit taller then Tommy, yet he was bulky and stable.
Not even flinching or stumbling as he was grabbed by the arm. "My friends and I came to rescue you! Your family has been worried sick." A small smile forms on the prisoners face, though he makes no effort to leave.
"Are they alright?" This really wasn't the time to chitchat. "Yeah! But they want you home, so we gotta go." Tommy pulls at his sleeve again, once more met with resistance. Papaburgermon looking all the more determined.
All the more motivated as he takes a glance off to the side. "Not until I finish. If I leave now without completing all these burgers, then Petaldramon will just come back, causing more damage." It was then Tommy actually took in his surroundings. "Whoa!"
Giant sized, jumbo sized burgers, bigger than his hat stood in tall towers all throughout the open kitchen. "I'm not sure how long my friends can keep him busy for..." None of them expected anything like this.
It was supposed to be a one, two, three rush in, rush out rescue mission. "I appreciate the help young man. But my pride as a chef and protecting my family from further harm prevents me from leaving." Now what do they do?
"Lupin Laser!" Outside he could hear his friends fighting for their lives. He wasn't sure how they were doing as the last time they fought, Tommy had won only because he had caught the overgrown tree beast off guard.
The rest of the time they had been on the run. For a moment the warrior of ice closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind. "Ok." His mind quickly made up as he turned to the food digimon. "I don't know how long, but we'll try to give you as much time as possible."
Without even waiting for confirmation Tommy runs out of the kitchen, his D-tector out. "Spirit Evolution!" He wasn't sure if he was making the right decision and not following the plan, but he couldn't argue with Papaburgermon's concerns. Because he was right.
It's not like Petaldramon didn't know where the family lived, there was nothing stopping him from going to more extreme measures to get Papaburgermon''s cooperation. "Korikakumon!" The moment he finished shifting he made a mad dash forward, grabbing the enemy by the tail.
"Tommy what are you doing? Where's Papaburgermon!?" Zoe was the only one able really able to fly down and ask. "Thunder Fist!" As everyone else was stuck in their currently positions. "Dark Master!" Which was trying not to get squashed. "Howling Star!"
A difficult task to do when your opponent grows three times bigger than his already huge frame because he had some trees to snack on. "Papaburgermon wants to make sure this guy won't go after his family, so he's finishing up the last set of burgers." Zoe shook her head.
She couldn't believe this. "So he's giving him what he wants?!" She was barely able to dodge vine from smacking her as she shrieked. "He's trying to protect his family! Tell the others we need to buy some time." Korokakumon grunted as he lifts Petaldramon in the air.
"Wh-whoa uh oh..." Only the slam him back down, stunning the wood warrior for a moment. "Alright..." One by one Kazemon relays the information, and though everyone was reluctant about it, agreed. They would not back down and run.
They would fight, their victory relying on an army's worth of food...

Bokomon was getting worried, pacing around on the floor. His frustration growing more and more as Neemon copied him. "Stop following me!" He couldn't believe this. "Ohhh what is taking them so long?" It's been an hour since the group left and it left the bookworm antsy.
Takuya could wake up any moment now. And if he starts asking questions, either him or Neemon will screw up, and if THAT happens, the pyromancer will automatically know there's trouble and get out of bed. Resulting in injuring himself further!
The images were replaying on repeat in Bokomon's mind, making him dread looking at the clock. Hearing it continue on without his consent. "I hope they're alright." Despite the obvious stress growing in the pit of the white furred book keepers gut, Neemon was as relaxed as ever.
Still following his digicompanion. "Oh stop that already!" Absolutely fed up, Bokomon yanks on Neemon's pants, tugging them harder than usual. "Owie!" A huff is released from both of them as the injured digimon collapses on the floor.
"So mean..." And all while this little show is happening, Takuya is still out like a light. His breathing a little faster than usual, but still steady. His body still, and unmoving. "This is bad for my coded heart! What is taking them!?" Suddenly there's a knock on the door.
Making both digimon protectors shriek in fright. "Hello! I've come to change Mr. Takuya's bandages~" It was only EbiBurgamon again. Ready to do her usual rounds. "Oh...alright, thank you EbiBurgamon. Let's go Neemon."
The little food digimon giggles, waving as Bokomon drags out his friend(quite literally by the pants) out the door. But is overly relieved when she was alone. No disrespect to them or their human friends, but it was a lot easier and safer for the patient if she works without distraction or worry.
Though she's normally just selling snacks on the trailmon, there have been times fights have broken out, leaving her to be a medical expert. "Oh dear, another fever!" Time and time again she's patched up various digimon, meeting all sorts of personalities.
It was much easier without an audience. "Stay strong Mr.! Your friends will be back soon~" Immediately on her little toes she rushes to the open bathroom, pulling out a clean, empty bowl from the cabinet. Filling it with water she puts two pieces of cloth in.
One to clean the injuries, and one for his fever. "Let's get you fixed up!" Most would look at her strangely for talking out loud as she works. But there were times where her patients could hear her even through the midst of dreams.
She hoped he could hear her, if only to keep him going. He seemed the type to overwork himself too much. Like a candle constantly lit until it dies out. "Your friend with his long hair down said he would make cookies later. When you wake up you can have some!"
There wasn't much she could do other then keep his injuries clean and his spirits up at this point. And soon they would have to leave and go their separate ways, but until then she would do all she could.
It was only fair as since arriving, they had been helping out all of EbiBurgamon's family. Whether it was doing chores, coming up with plans to rescue Papaburgermon or even playing with her little siblings. What is given should be received in return.
At least that was what she believed. "I don't know what happened to you but I know you'll pull through." And from what little she's seen of him awake, she knew Takuya cared deeply about his friends. It wouldn't have surprised her if the injuries were the results of him in a battle.
Not with wounds these intense. "Ok. All clean!" Her expression falters as she checks his forehead again. "Oh no." His temperature was rising even hotter than before. The cloth on his head already close to being dried.
Quickly she goes about rewrapping his wounds before placing another damp cloth of clean, cool water on his head. "Stay strong Mr...please." Her voice but a whisper now. It was never fun when she lost a patient. And though she had faith he would pull through. It never made moments like these any easier.
