Bella retracts her partner the moment she flicks her tail and gives a signal. The explosions rock the room, but you’re all already safe around the corner. Gazimon scurries back the moment the smoke clears, quickly identifying the two again. They’re a bit further across the bridge now.

”Again! I’m gonna get you wasting all your bombs with just a little taunting! Is this the level you’re supposed to be at after getting promoted all the way from a puny Rookie?”

The two of them are looking awful mad now, gnashing their sharp fangs and flapping erratically.

”Or did you even get promoted? Did they just build you two like a common robot? Would make sense with how brainless you are.

Another series of missile fire fills the doorway. Just like before, Bella hides her partner in the Digivice before she can be struck. The smoke parts yet again to reveal an unharmed Gazimon.

”You talk big for a Rookie… I’ll make sure to-“

Gazimon somehow manages to yawn loud enough to drown out the Pteramon’s threat.

”To mess it all up again? I wonder how bad a job you’ve been doing, to get assigned here instead of fighting with the Commandramon. While you shoot my hologram, the rest of us are sneaking somewhere else.

”There’s no way you’re a hologram…” one mumbles.

Gazimon doesn’t reply. She just raises a claw and flips the bird the bird.

That last motion is enough to frustrate them into attacking. Both accelerate towards the doorway, while Gazimon stands proudly with her hands on her hips, ready to receive the hit. Their sharpened beaks are pointed right at her Digicore, aiming to burst through the open entrance and skewer her in one hit.

”She’s bluffing. I can scan her core!”

”That’s right. But by now, my buddies really HAVE snuck past you! Morons! That’s what you get for abandoning your posts!”

One looks back to check, while the other keeps advancing. Ultimately, they commit to attacking her first.

”BEAK PIERCE!”
