In a burst of speed, Devimon rushed at the young Hybrid. Dachsmon gasped in surprise. She just barely managed to evade him when he shouted: "Death Claw!"
She rolled backwards, a little clumsy, and raised her crossbow-like weapon. "Air Cutter!"
Devimon smirked, making no attempt to dodge the incoming, twirling projectile.
'Now I got him!' Harmony thought, already hoping for a quick victory.
But Devimon simply snatched the projectile out of the air... and snapped it on two.
Dachsmon gasped.
The evil Digimon shook his head. "Such a shame... young Digimon really don't try hard enough when they fight. Are you even trying? You have to do better than that!"
All those insults made Harmony angry. But she knew, if she would just charge at him, he would just expect it and counterattack.
So she gritted her teeth and waited.
Devimon smirked. "You're not attacking? Fine, then allow me... HELL'S CONTRACT!"
The dark burst flew out of his right palm. Dachsmon dove to the floor and let the evil energy fly over her head. She then slid further, pushed herself off the ground and jumped at Devimon with a powerful "Rush Tackle!"
Devimon took the hit, even wincing a bit as Harmony's whole body impacted within his stomach. But at the same time, he took the chance to wrap his long arms all around her body.
"Ah!" Harmony shouted and struggled to get free. "Let go of me!"
Devimon just laughed and increased the pressure on his 'embrace'. Harmony winced in pain as Devimon seemingly tried crushing her bones.
Bones! That was it!
Just like a regular dog would do with a big, juicy bone, she opened her muzzle widely and bit forcefully into Devimon's arm.
"AAAAAARRGGH!" he screamed and let go of her. He clutched his arm where Dachsmon bit him. "You... little bitch!"
Harmony smirked as she jumped back from him. "You said it!"
Devimon then snorted. "I wouldn't be too cocky, you know? As you might know, we still have your friend. And I would hate to see him hurt."
"What did you to to him?" Harmony shouted. "Where is he? Where's Kazu?"
Devimon grinned. "How about I tell you... if you surrender now! I'll even bring you to him, how does that sound?"
"You gotta be kidding," Dachsmon shot back.
Devimon shrugged. "Have it your way, then... Perhaps I should just leave you alone."
Harmony blinked. Was he giving up already?
"But of course, your friend Kazu would be the one to suffer from the consequences. Who knows whatever we would do to him..."
That remark made Harmony worry. What if Kazu was only used as a decoy to lure her and the others here? After all, Kazu was not a real Hybrid. He was expendable for them.
Devimon grinned as he saw the young canine hesitate. He took advantage of that opportunity and stretched out his arms.
"DEATH CLAW!"
Unprepared for that attack, Harmony could only gasp as Devimon's claws closed around her slender neck, just below her canine jaws.
"Looks like you can't bite me like that, right?" her opponent gloated. "And now I suggest you surrender peacefully... we wouldn't want to hurt your precious Hybrid body now, would we?"
"L-let go..." Dachsmon chocked.
Devimon just sneered. "And I will capture every single one of your friends like this. And now that we may also have found a way of turning human Tamers into Hybrids, we will soon have an entire army of Hybrid soldiers... we simply have to brainwash you. Why, we might just capture that sweet little sister of yours as well..."
Upon hearing that, a powerful feeling of rage awoke deep within Harmony's body.
"NO!" she shouted. "YOU'LL NEVER GET SUZIE!"
Far away from this place, her D-Power started to glow.
Devimon got thrown backwards by the sudden outburst of power around Harmony's body.
"What?" he snapped. "What's happening?"
Harmony felt her body expanding and stretching at various points, and felt how new clothes wrapped themselves around her limbs.
"DACHSMON DIGIVOLVE TO... CANISMON!"
On the floor of the room, the broken remains of Dachsmon's boomerang-like projectile merged and turned into one, big boomerang that looked like it was made of bone.
On padded feet, Harmony walked over to her weapon and picked it up.
She now stood almost as tall as her mother, looking like a grown-up version of her Dachsmon form. Clothes made of sturdy cloth were being fastened into place with numerous leather straps and belts, while her claws were jutting out of finger-less gloves.
She looked down at her unfamiliar cleavage and winced when she felt the weight of her medium-sized breasts. She definitely would have to get used to that...
"So... you digivolved," Devimon snarled. "An interesting development. So a Hybrid is able to digivolve as well. My master will be pleased to hear about this."
"Perhaps you won't even get the chance to tell him," Canismon proclaimed and drew back her weapon. "BONE BOOMERANG!"
She let the boomerang fly, and Devimon once again tried catching it.
Big mistake!
The devil Digimon cried out in pain as the sharp edges of the weapon cut into his hands and the force of Canismon's attack threw him to the ground.
"Dammit..." he cursed. "Can't I ever defeat one of you brats?"
"What's the matter?" Harmony smirked. "You digivolved, I digivolved, now we're even! Now, if you would excuse me? I can't play with you all day!"
"You're not escaping!" Devimon shouted. "HELL'S CONTRACT!"
Canismon grabbed into her belt pouch and pulled something out.
"SMOKE BOMB!"
And with a loud 'bang', the whole room suddenly was filled with vaporous gas that shielded her from Devimon's gaze.
"Where are you, you coward?" Devimon shouted as he tried to see anything. He flapped his wings a few times, and the smoke drifted apart.
But Canismon was already gone.
"Just great..." he muttered. "Hopefully the other Hybrids don't digivolve as well... after they step into my other traps." He chuckled. "Oh well... still have some chances of bringing my lord a born Hybrid."
And he vanished back into the shadows.

Kai shook his head. "Takato, this is old... any good 'Final Fantasy' player knows about Limit Breaks!"
"Well, do you have a better idea?" the goggle-wearing boy shrugged. "It works, doesn't it? The more the heros are hit by attacks, the more likely they will digivolve. That way, they might be able to defend themselves against stronger opponents... even if they are by themselves."
"We just have to make sure that there won't be any situations in which they get separated from each other."
"Ah, quit your nagging already!"
