WHAM!
"Ow!"
BAM!
"Please, stop!"
POW!
"No, not the FACE!!"
WHACK!
"I'll be good, I promise..."
Guilmon, Kenta and Kazu watched in awe as the beautiful Nalamon gave Ogremon the beating of his life.
Takato, on the other hand, pulled out his D-Power.
"Nalamon... he said aloud. "Champion Level, Vaccine. Beast Digimon. Attacks: Fist of the Beast Queen, Royal Kick, Thousand Scratches!"
He scratched his head. "I wonder if Kai made this one up..."
Meanwhile, Nalamon made sure to make her message understood.
"Don't you... ever... pick on... little kids and Digimon... again, you hear me?" she said in-between punches and kicks. "And just so you don't forget... THOUSAND SCRATCHES!"
"YEEOOOOUUUUUCH!" Ogremon howled as her claws left an uncountable number of scratch marks. "I promise, I promise, just pull back the claws!"
Nalamon stopped for a while. "You really, really mean it?"
"Of course, of course!" Ogremon crouched down to the floor and bowed down his head again and again. "I never pick on them again, I swear!"
"Well, I hope so! Or else they'll tell me and I come back. Now, go on and apologize to them!"
Ogremon was going to get up, when Nalamon's foot pushed his face back down into the dirt. "You can do that from down here, can you?"
Ogremon winced. Takato and the others could see how embarrassing it was for him to crouch down in front of little children and In-Training Digimon.
But as long as it saved him from those sharp claws...
He lowered his head again in front of Koromon.
"Now say: I'm sorry I did that to you. I promise I won't do it again!"
Ogremon gritted his teeth. "I'm... sorry for what I did to you. I won't do it again... I promise!"
Nalamon shook her head. "You are so dumb that you can't even repeat two simple sentences. Now, get up!"
"C-can I go now?" Ogremon mumbled.
"No, you still owe those children some ice cream... and I want you to buy all of them one."
"WHAT?" Ogremon screeched. "But I only took two of them..."
Nalamon bared her fangs and growled. "NOW!"
The tall, green Champion Digimon winced in fear as he backed off and quickly ran over to the nearest ice cream vendor.
Nalamon waited until he came back, multiple ice cream cones in his hands.
He offered them to the children. "Here you are, you little brats... um, I mean, you dear little children!" he hastily corrected himself after Nalamon gave him another fierce glare.
Hesitantly, the kids took the ice cream from the big brute that had just several minutes ago bullied them. Koromon almost winced when he took his cone, but he saw how Nalamon was holding her sharp claws up to Ogremons neck, so he took the ice cream, looked up to her and said in a meek voice: "Thank you, lady!"
Then he and his friends ran off.
Nalamon nodded in satisfaction. "Good! Now I suggest you don't come here for a while, got it?" She gave Ogremon one last kick in the butt. "Now scram!"
Ogremon got up from the ground in a hurry and ran away. In the days to come, he would never be able to go near a children's playground again without being reminded of that lioness' fierce glare... and her sharp claws.
She turned back around to her friends. "Sorry, took a bit longer than I had planned. Shall we go?"
Takato shook his head in disbelief, while Kazu gave her a whistle. "Man, Jeri... I don't know if I would envy or pity the man that will be your husband one day..."
Jeri took this as a compliment. "Thank you! Now come on, children, it's time to go!"
Kenta frowned. "You are not our teacher, you know?"
"Well, I'm bigger than you, which means I'm in command, right?"
Kenta wanted to disagree, but after he saw what happened to Ogremon, he decided not to question Jeri's way of thinking.
He sighed. "Lead the way..."
----
In a dark cave, a blue-furred Gaomon with a black vest was looking at some old papers.
A tall, young man with blonde hair entered the cave. "Hey there, boss lady! What'cha looking at?"
"An old map of my grandfather's laboratory," Alice replied. "And don't call me that, Kouki!"
Kouki laughed while reaching into his bag of chips. He then stuffed some into his mouth. As it was his habit, he always let a small piece of them hang in the corner of his mouth.
"Well, you are the only living relative of your grandfather, my former boss! So doesn't that make you my boss as well?"
"We might be in the same team, but I prefer to see us as equals. All three of us have been in the same experiment, haven't we?"
"Well, yeah, but you always have been the favorite of the doctor. You even managed to get 3 Digimon forms from him... all that Ivan and I got were the lousy ones we got, only one for each of us."
"Does that mean you aren't satisfied?" Alice asked as she looked up from the map.
"Hell no! I like the power!" Kouki flexed his right arm muscles with a grin. "Every enemy I fought since that day never stood a chance against me. Although it gets kinda boring with the time. I need a strong opponent to unwind, you know?"
"Well, maybe you're in luck, when Yamacus needs someone to fight those Hybrid Tamers..."
She didn't say anything about Devimon or Riley. That was Yamacus' personal problem, not that of her group.
She put the map into her vest pocket. "Where's Ivan?"
Kouki gestured over his shoulder. "Standing outside, looking at the stars, as usual... the big buffoon..."
"Don't call him that! He may not be as smart as you, but he has other qualities."
"Yeah!" The former assistant of Professor McCoy laughed. "His brawns, for one!"
"Knock it off!" she scolded with a frown. She walked outside. Kouki shrugged and followed her.
In front of the cave, the muscular form of Ivan was sitting. The gentle giant was looking up at the stars, just as Kouki said.
"So, you're in human form for once?" Kouki mocked. "The two of you seem to prefer your Digimon forms over your human bodies..."
"Yamacus told me I would wake the others when I stomp around in my Digimon form..." Ivan said calmly. "I wished I could have punched him in the face... although I wouldn't say that out loud."
Alice sighed. "You just did, Ivan..."
He blinked. "Did what?"
The Gaomon shuddered. That guy was... strange sometimes. "Never mind. Listen up, I thought about our current situation... Yesterday, I talked to Yamacus. He said he didn't have any important missions for us at the time. So that means he wouldn't mind if we go back to the laboratory once more."
"What, again?" Kouki wondered. "We searched through that rubble for so many times now and still didn't find anything. Don't you think we should just give up?"
Alice growled. "No! I know it's there, it has to be! My grandfather never took it out of his laboratory! We just didn't search good enough."
"Well, I think we searched pretty much everywhere in there," Kouki said.
"Except for me..." Ivan said in his quiet voice. "I was busy staring up Alice's skirt... when she wasn't looking. Although I would never admit that, it would be just too embarrassing..."
Alice was happy her blue fur was hiding her massive blush. Sometimes she believed Ivan really wasn't aware that he was saying his thoughts out loud...
She took out her map. "I found that yesterday! It shows a hidden entrance to the basement of the laboratory. Grandpa told me about it once, but I've never been down there. It still must be down there, under the ruins of the lab. We just have to find the secret entrance..."
Kouki sighed. "Okay, but that will be the last time, you hear me? Yamacus has promised me I could spar with his troops, that would have really been fun yesterday... Well, gotta tell the guys we have to do it some other time..."
"Won't they all be happy?" Alice grinned smugly. She could already imagine the relief of the soldiers. Kouki had quite the reputation among the troops.
Well, maybe it was just because of his fight with BigMamemon... BigMamemon had to spend a week in sick bay after his little 'spar' with Kouki in his Digimon form...
