>Aim to delete Raremon. You have a partner who's stronger than it, and you know exactly how to fight it thanks to Kaus Gammamon's methods. You'll have Porcupamon grow stronger, but the sewer will become more unpredictable.

Porcupamon swipes across his enemy's face, tearing away chunks of blue sludge. Raremon groans and backs off.

"That's what you get! Not such a big tough guy now, huh?"

"Rrgh..."

It gurgles in anger and charges up another pulse of bile. Porcupamon shoulder-checks it again, pressing his own spiky body into the towering mass of slime. The move carries him underneath the mutant's mouth, causing the acid to cascade past him and splatter into the canal harmlessly.

"Marnie! Whaddya think? Should this guy see tomorrow?"

"Kill... You..."

You think about it for the brief moment where they grapple. Things will be very different once it's gone. But the more you consider it, the more reasons to finish it off you gain. It's a dying beast who's trying desperately to reach its Ultimate stage. From what Doc has told you, that's never going to happen. If anything, it'll just be terrorizing the sewers until someone grows strong enough to challenge it. In that time, plenty of Digimon will die like that Betamon did.

"Put him out of his misery."

"Just have to say the word!"

With his bladed claws, he tears through a series of wires and pipes. Raremon shudders as artifact-riddled blood spurts from the injury, in the same scintillating hues as the sewer rot itself. Porcupamon doesn't give in. He shifts the amorphous mound back into the same corner that it claimed its last prey in, and begins ripping more and more life support measures out. You turn away from the grisly scene, leaving your partner in charge of it.

With no need for restraint, he makes short work of Raremon. It gouges him a few times with those wretched claws, but none of its slime attacks make contact. Finally, he rips through the acrid meat and makes contact with the Digicore. His X-shaped stitches meet the drooping plates that house Raremon's eyes, and the creature waits for an order to yield. Just like last time.

But it never comes. He rips the Digicore out of its body, which collapses and drains helplessly into the sewer. The only things left behind are azure wisps of pure, usable data, and the glowing core. You watch the core lift itself into the air and fade away before your partner can claim it. What's left for him is the collection of data threads, and he puffs his chest out proudly.

"Done."

DELETED.
