shadking, umbrascarred vs. mummymon

The repeated blasts to his face were certainly annoying the mummymon, but the effect was relatively minimal - simply attacking him would hardly be enough. The hand continued to squeeze, even as the keramon poured out the thick, inky smog, obscuring the mummymon's vision. The ghosts were starting to dissipate, the last few still scratching at the keramon as it was slowly crushed.

The leormon's tackle was effective - the mummymon wobbling precariously, dangerously close to the edge as it tried to stabilize himself. "Stop that!" He snapped, squeezing even harder on the keramon.

One more good push and the Mummymon might have been off the edge for good. But could Umbra risk that? Keramon was still in his grip. If the enemy fell, Umbra's own Digimon would go with it. Did he get a participation prize if his Digimon died in the process of winning? Maybe ShadKing would feel guilty and hand over his prize to Umbra for his sacrifice? It was a tempting offer. If Umbra could find a way out of this without having to lose in the process, he'd go down that path. But he didn't see any way to make Mummymon let go. The attacks were doing nothing to him except knocking him back- not making him let go.

Maybe, if Keramon was lucky enough, the Mummymon would drop the Digimon in hopes of grabbing the ledge and stopping himself from falling. But, knowing Keramon's luck, he'd get dropped off that edge to his death anyways. Thumbs were pressed to the human's temples, massaging gently as he tried to think this over before they lost their chance. It was all or nothing.

"Do it, once more. He's almost off the edge. The hits are bothering him and pushing him back. Do it now while you can" Umbra commanded, his lips pursed into a tight and thin line and his knuckles turning white as his nails dug into his palms. Umbra had made his decision. It wouldn't effect him in any way, would it? But Keramon would have to die. Just this once. For the sake of saying they won.

Keramon seemed to grow limp in the Mummymon's hand, his head lowering to rest on his bandaged wrist and eyes closing slowly. Any real attempts at attacking and struggling had stopped. No hit he made was having affect, whether he clawed at his back, shot at his face or bit his hands. In this position, was there anything he could do? Leormon was making progress.

Weakly, with what strength he could muster to at least lift his arms, Keramon tried to reach out toward Mummymon's face, having realized bandages hung from there. He wished he could just unravel the beast and find nothing under his bandages. Instead, Kera just needed to distract him from Leormon's advances. So the many legged virus reached for the binding and trying his best to pull and yank in any direction he could. Whether it was to cover Mummymon's eyes with it or peel it from his skin. He just wanted to help with the last breaths he had. "Peek... a-boo..."

Mummymon wobbled at the edge of the hole just one more good push and he was gone and they would win or would they? Umbra’s Keramon was still being crushed by the mummy if he fell so would Keramon could Shadking play the rest of the game knowing this victory came from the death of another friend and digimon.

“I…I… I can’t do, I can’t load the gun and pull the trigger”, Shad thought as he dropped to his knees tear welling up in eyes, “On the plus side I’m still feel human in this game”.

Then Shad heard Umbra tell, no commanded him to end Mummymon, “but what about Keramon”, Shad said looking back at him and seeing that choice was hurting him just as much if not worse. Seeing his fellow tamer in pain Shad stood up and looked at Mummymon, he was going to end this.

“Fine then you load the gun and pull trigger”, Shad said smiling wildly, “We will be your bullet, Leonis end that bandaged brute, now!”

Leonis without a word changed Mummymon running as fast as he could and slammed himself into the mummy, “Let go of Keramon, now!”

shadking, umbrascarred vs. mummymon

The keramon's smog was enough to stop the mummymon from seeing it's own impending doom. The tackle knocked him right backwards, and the scratching at his face only made things worse as he plummeted off the edge, the keramon still in his grasp. With a burst of light, the perfect dissolved into data, taking the keramon with him.

(( Congratulations! Have another round to say your goodbyes. In 30 seconds, umbrascarred will be returned to town. Results will be out when the other groups are finished. ))

That was it. Umbra didn't even look away as the monster- as well as his own Digimon- fell to their defeat. It was a sacrifice he needed to make for someone to win this. Keramon was just a ball of data that would be brought back to life shortly in the city. Keramon was something that would always be reborn, no matter how many times he died. So why did it matter if Umbra felt the need to sacrifice him a few times? If real life worked this way, Umbra would probably sacrifice his family a thousand times if that's what it took to get what he needed. It was a good thing they only had one life each and he wasn't willing sacrifice those lives just once.

Umbra rolled his shoulders back and stretched out his arm, head lolling to the side to stare at Umbra with a wide, almost bright smile. "We did it! Well, you did it. You're welcome. I don't know what the prize will be, but I really hope you enjoy it," Umbra chirped, sounding almost cheerful. If he could get on this boy's good side and become a friend, maybe he will become a useful ally in the future? With a little wave, he stepped back. He knew he didn't have a lot of time. His Digimon had died and, with it, he'd be returned to the beginning of the game.

"I hope we can meet again later! I'll be in Asuka City, if you're interested. I'd love to know how this all turns out for you. Again... you're welcome, ShadKing. And good luck," the tamer wished the other, his index and middle finger touching to his forehead before flicking them forward in a small salute. And, with that, Umbra felt his thirty seconds was up and allowed the teleportation to commence. He had someone else he needed to meet with- his Keramon. He had a few apologies to get done as well as congratulate the little virus on the good work he'd done. As well as lecture him about the countless mistakes he'd made.

“Well it’s over sorry about your digimon”, Shad said as he turn towards Umbra, “and thank for all of the assist back there I sooo own you one”.

As Umbra congratulate him, Shad could that he was faking it, all those long years of being lied to made aware when others where lying to him but he let it go after all it was Umbra’s plan to knock the Mummymon into the hole. So Shadking just smiled his usual wild smile and returned the salute, Shad like this guy he was smart, cunning, and quick on his foot wondering if he would be as good if in a real human fight.

As Umbra teleported back to Asuka City Shad said, “thanks again for the help and hope we meet again some day, Good Luck out there and fight the good fight”, Shad turned to his partner with a huge smile.

Leonis walked up behind him as the two human had made their good byes and finally said, “That was fun boss that Keramon was creepy but I like him so what now?”.
