Ever seen a dog misbehave? Snarl at you for just trying to be friendly? Having been through so many hardships that they only will ever growl and bare teeth at you. zAre they truly bad or misunderstood? Digimon Ghost Game! Bad Dog!

Mummymon returned from the basement with ingredent he held in his hands. On his way back, he got a few buttered scones for Aliana. Her personal favorite sncks whenever she patrols the hospital. He smiled to himself. He was truly thankful for having her not only as his assistant but his adopted daughter too.

The moment the two met each other was when she was still reborn as a Wulfmon with Shiramon. He did not know that she was formally the one that nearly world. All he cared about at the time was trying the young baby digimon that was in front of him. He took both of them in the hospital and cared for them, the best to his abilities. Aliana was even given her new name the day that he found her. At first, she did not trust him. She often growl as if he were putting her in danger or mistreating her. HE had made her so untrusting. Even being reborn could not heal the damage that he placed on her right away.

Mummymon instead gave her time and made her see that she was in no harm. Letting her know that she was safe and cared for. Something she needed. The feeling of having someone care for you. A place to belong. A new life with new purpose. That's all she ever wanted. It was clear in her eyes that all she truly desired. A life that was not about being the Sin Code Digimon of Wrath or the one half of Malicemon. All the poor girl ever wanted was to have a life.

Mummymon provided that by taking her in. Taight her the ways of healing and medicine so she had more than her killing skills. He taught her things that she did not know such as holidays and his knowledge about digimon. Things that HE thought were a waste of time for her to ever know.

It made Mummymon despise the creator of the Sin Code Digimon even more. How that so called man took innocent digimon from their home. Altered their code and forced them to become digimon that beared a fate that they did not ask for. Forcing them to obey with tests and punishments. Simply changing their personalities whenever the digimon did things that he did not like. Aliana told him all of what she could remember of those days. How Shiramon and her were forcefully merged. How the two of them would be rewritten over and over till HE got the results he wanted. Not caring about the mental and emotional damage that he was causing to them.

As a doctor, Mummymon was utterly sick. It made him want to vomit from hearing how medical sciene was used for such purposes. It made him want to protect Aliana even more. That way she never had to even think of those days ever again.

She was his precious bint now. Nothing would hurt her. Not as long as he still walked this earth.

He had returned to the room that he had been working in but halted by the doorway. He could hear that Betsumon was talking to someone. He took a glance inside to see that he was chatting with Jokermon. The clown like digimon who was known for backstabbing those thst he worked with.

Why was he here? Could Betsumon had invited him over? It was not making any sense on why the two should know one another. Unless Jokermon came for treatment then there should be no reason to why he be here right now. From the looks of it, Jokermon looked to be in perfect health. That only made his appearance at the hospital even more confusing.

"I see you kept your word" Jokermon voice startled him.

"Of course! I been meaning to get rid of her anyways. She is so annoying! You all actually did me a favor taking her" Betsumon got out of his Mummymon disguise with a grin which could only be seen as disgusted.

Her? Did Betsumon give them someone? If so then who was it? A paitent? One of the nurses? The cafeteria lady? A female doctor?

"I must say that was quite a performance that you put on. I could almost feel my heart breaking alongside her as you stabbed her heart with such vemonous words"Jokermon playfully pretended to cry before busting out in laughter.

"I knew what would hurt her. She often has nights were she needs to talk to him. My ears have overheard her inner demons, constant struggles, her fears. You could say that I know how to break her. It did feel good. Knocking her down a peg. Remind her that she is nothing but a manufacture digiomon that has no right to happiness." Betsumon laughed. Though the boy beside Jokermon did not find it the slightest bit amusing.

"Hey Joker. Give him his freedom" The boy said it in a tone that Jokermon knew all too well.

"Yes Bruno!" Then without warning. Jokermon used his "Lunatic Slash" to cut Betsumon in half.

"B-but why? I did as you asked" Betsumon slowly became data as his body was fading away.

"We are too" The boy smiled in a form that could only be seen as malice. "We freed you from this prison of life that you hated. Now you can start anew as a digi egg"

Betsumon betrayed face was the last thing that the two saw before a digimon egg took his place. Good riddance.

Mummymon eye widen at this. The boy gave Jokermon the rights to kill a digimon. He could not believe his eyes.

"Think I was a bit harsh there?" Jokermon turned to Bruno. "He did give us the digimon we requested after all"

"No. He had the nerve to break her by using her own insecurities. That makes be utter hate scum such as him. He could have simply have knocked her out and handed her over to. us. Though he took pleasure in making her suffer. He is no better than the scientists that caused us suffering. The people who torment and abuse animals! He deserves death. Bet there are others who feel the same" Bruno did not hold a single shred of remorse for what the two did.

"Okay!" Jokermon gladly accept that answer. He knew how Bruno felt about animals. "We should go. I can't wait to see what your powers do to this one!"

Mummymon peeked into the room to see what digimon that the two were given. All color was drained from his face.

In the boy's arm was his precious bint, Aliana. She had been knocked out by one of the two apply a soft force to her pressure points. She looked distressed too.

WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE THESE TWO DOING WITH HIS DAUGHTER?!! WHICH ONE OF THEM MADE HER CRY?!

His anger only grew but just as he was ready to confront them. Demanding that they hand over Aliana to him, the two disappeared in a strange mist.

He paled.  They had just taken his sweet daughter to who knows where. He immediately rushed to the phone and called Clockmon to get the heroes. Tearing up a bit as he did so.

At Mei house, the group of friends were having a small get together. At first they were trying to locate the remain five "Dark Mist" children location. However Kiyo had brought over his Nintendo Switch along with his copy of Super Smash Bros. From thete it became a competitive game night. At the moment, Hiro had challenge Mei to what was their twenty second battle. He was determined to beat her this round. Mei was fighting as Zero Suit Samus while he fought as Mario. Within the course of ten minutes, he lost to her once again.

"AUGHHHHH!! DARN IT! HOW?! TELL ME HOW YOU KEEP BEATING ME?!" Hiro turned to Mei with Oni like fury.

Ruli and Kiyo were a bit annoyed on how Hiro was acting. They had lost against Mei too but they weren't crying about it. Seriously Hiro it was just a game.

"Hiro, I stopped playing after round ten. I gave my controller to the babies" Mei revealed that she no longer possessed her controller.

The baby digimon were on the bed. They were just button smashing and getting combos right. Hiro was losing to babies. BABIES! There goes his honor.

Then there was a knock on Mei window. It was Clockmon. Shiramon went over and let the Time patrolling digimon in.

Clockmon noticed that the babies were beating Hiro and chuckled. "Are you getting beat by infants? Man, here I thought you were tough"

"Why are you here, Clockmon?" Hiro asked bitterly. He was not in the mood for teasing at the moment.

"Mummymon asked me to get you all" Hetook a deep sigh before looking away. "Aliana was kidnapped by one of those "Dark Mist" kids

The group's eyes widen as they made a rush to the hospital despite the late hour. Shiramon leading the group there. It was if she had been granted lightning speed then and there. Aliana was her sister after all, the minute she hear the word "Kidnapped" is when she wasted no time to go and save her. First they had the nerves to cause Blues heartbreak by having him lose Alicia all over again. Now they go after her sister? On these kids may have a story to share and been mistreated, but no one is to EVER HURT ANYONE THAT SHIRAMON CARES ABOUT. Those kids better be ready for a serious beatdown.

Mummymon explained what he witnessed as Hiro checked the security cameras. Blues had installed a special program that allows digimon to appear on the screen. All a few people have tge code to acces the program. Hiro being one of them.

There they saw Betsumon and Jokermon talking, then how Betsumon tricked Aliana before a boy took her away. It must have been one of the "Dark Mist" children.

Mummymon growled at what Betsumon said to Aliana. He had wished he stayed in the room now.That or how he should have deleted Betsumon himself.

"What would they want with Aliana?" Mummymon asked. He knew a bit about them from Clockmon but he only had few details.

"You said he mentioned to change her, right? I have a hunch that this boy is Subject 9" Mei reviewed what she remembered from the file and what they saw on the security tape.

Kiyo face went a ghastly pale color. What if Subject 9 turns her into a monster. Justlike she was as Malicemon. He grew paler and paler at the thought.

Meanwhile, Aliana had awoken to the sound of a soft humming sound. She could feel someone stroking her fur gently. Careful not to pat her too touch It. She looked up to see who it was.

The  boy who held her had olive skin with freckles on his cheeks. He had thick black wavy short hair that was barely above his neck. He had a gentle gaze in his hazel eyes. They were the most gentle that Aliana ever seen in her whole life. Around the boy's neck was a strang Keychan like device. Must be pretry important to him since it appeared very old. He wore a standard button up white long shelved shirt. With brown long pants. He wore black sneakers with white laces. Aliana couldn't help but noticed that the boys hands were covered in deep scars. As if someone was torturing him.

Aliana decided to act a regular cat so that the boy would not learn that she was a digimon. She had tried to pass as a hologram ghost once but it felt uneasy to her. Since becoming Carbunmon at times, the cat disguise became much more easier for her. It also helped her listen in for intels without being suspected.

"Oh you're awake. Good. We were worried about you" He looked relieved to see her awake.

She mewed at him as a sign to let him know that she was okay.

"My name is Bruno Colombo" He smiled at her. "Poor thing, that jerk should not have made you that upset! You must be pretty hurt emotionally huh? I know that digimon emotions can be greatly influenced by words or actions" He seem to know that she was acting. He was telling her that he knew what she truly is and that it was okay to trust him.

"Ali-Carbunmon...." Right, she didn't deserve to use that name anymore.

"Pretty name. Well how about I help you out" Bruno began to put the plan in action.

"Help me with what?" Carbunmon asked

"That mean digimon really did hurt you. What if I told you that I can help you get revenge?" He didn't clearly on which digimon, best to make her believe they were talking about the same one.

"......No...Even if he never wants to see me again, I still love Da- Mummymon as my father. Thank you for helping me but I should go" She looked ready to jump out of his arms.

Though Bruno stopped her from doing so. He did not seem to like her answer. His gaze went from gentle giant to intense in two seconds. A type of mist costed around his hand till it primarily forced on two of his fingers. He then used those figures to force the mist into Carbunmon body like an injection needle.

Carbunmon screamed in pain. The pain was like nothing that she ever felt before. Even the pain she felted from Malicemon puppeting her as a power source was not nearly as painful as what she was feeling in that moment. After what felt like hours of non stop screaming,she stopped. The pain was replaced by a sense of calmness.

"Jokermon, she is ready" Bruno signalled his partner to come out of hiding.

"I see. Not to be a party pooper Bruno, but she is still the same. Maybe you are losting your touch" Jokermon had seen Bruno powers before. He had never seen any animal based digimon remsin in their original form before.

Had she truly been changed?

"Oh she has" Bruno insisted as he scooped Carbunmon back into his arms. Petting her head softly which caused her to purr. "I been working on a transformation that only activates with my permission. It's why she is still small and fluffy"

"Oh what a surprise!" Jokermon chuckled. "It's the main reason I love that you're my partner! You are the only human to ever surprise me!" He chuckles before laughing.

"Thanks! I love that we are friends too. We both will do our best to protect every animal in our care. Any abusers will pay!"  Unlike his power, Bruno deeply cared for the well being of all animals.

N.E.S.T would force him to turn animal based digimon into monstrous versions of themselves. To study and see how deadly they could be to their fellow digimon in battle. Bruno refused to use the power at first. He claimed that he rather die than make these creatures ruthless killing machines. The scars along his arms were proof that he was punished for each refusal. Since Bruno was the only one to possess this unique and rare ability, the scientists of N.E.S. T tried a different approach. The moments that Jokermon were involved, Bruno never resisted the scientists.

Though now there was no one here to stop him.He could chose if he should ever turn a digimon into a monster version of themselves. He only ever did it twice.

The first was a Snow Agumon that he had accidently used his power on. Jokermon handled him swiftly before any true harm came to Bruno. The young boy still had nightmares that tormented him to this day.

The second would be the Carbunmon inhis arms right now.

All they had to do was wait till the little heroes that Koi told them about would arrive. Koi told him that one of their digimon had an excellent sense of smell. It wouldn't be long till they followed their scent here.

As Bruno had predicted, the heroes were indeed using Gammamon keen sense of smell to find Aliana.

Mummymon had come with them. He insisted on being there to help rescue Aliana. That if she had been turned into a monster, thst he would be able to get through to her. Thst meant that the boy and Jokermon would be theirs. Hopefully he had more light to share on the "Dark Mist" than the "Witches of the Mist" did.

Gammamon had led them to an abandoned zoo.

Kiyo gulped as his legs were shaling like crazy. WHY ARE THE "DARK MIST" KIDS ONLY PICKONG CREEPY ABANDONED PLACES?!

Jellymon had to drag him in before he tried to run away. It was miracle that  he did not Integer Overflow right now. It show his slow snail like progress on building up more courage.

The zoo that must of had been the home to plenty of lively animals were nothing more then bare rusted cages. Old pails of hay were scattered about on the cage floors. Food that looked like hot garbage mush was filling the entire zoo with a smell that would make a person puke or faint.

According to Angoramon, not even Garbagemon would be  able to take such a foul odor.

"This is obviously a trap"Mei warned. "Everyone be on your guard" She then turned to Hiro. "Especially you Trouble Magnet" She was serious

"I know, I know" He began to really hate that title. Mei had given it to him when they met her before the whole Sin Code arcs. No matter how accurate it may seem. He did not attract too much trouble to himself.

There was one building that Gammamon found a strong source of Aliana scent.

A large faded green build that had the had the torned letters that once said reptilian house and also a homing resort for small animals that needed around the clock care. A perfect place where a monster creator like Subject 9.

Hiro opened the door as they all entered the building. Cackling could be heard echoing throughout the whole building. A spine chilling cackle that seem to originate from the room where the small animals were once housing in.

The room that should have been filled with cages was now well furished red room. There were was Aliana on what appeared to be a comfortable bed where she was sleeping. A warm blanket covered Aliana body. She appeared unharmed.

"Aliana!" Mummymon rushed to her side. Carefully taking the small digimon in his arms. "My dear bint...I am so sorry" He examined her carefully to make sure she was alright.

Aliana stayed asleep in his arms, much to his relief.

"I see you actually came for her" Bruno and Joker stepped out of the shadows. "Though it surprises me how you just left her alone in the first place"  Bruno looked disappointed in Mummymon

"Of course I came back for her! Betsumon did to her! I WOULD NEVER HURT HER! I REFUSE TO LET HER SUFFER ANY MORE THAN WHAT "HE" MADE HER GO THROUGH!! I SHALL NEVER ABANDON MY BINT!!" Mummy grip on Aliana tightened. He held his weapon in his other hand.

"How can she ever be sure of those words? Takashi gave us the same old speech but he lied. The scientists said that my power would be used for humanity great or good, they just wanted me to make them their own digimon monster army. All others do is lie when it comes to well being of an innocent animal. I was once a part of a circus. A caretaker of the animals that would perform for the hundreds of kids. Then fifty years ago, while I was tending to the new tiger cubs that our tiger Tala birth. That day was the day that lady drugged me. The day N.E.S.T  burned down the only home I ever known. Killing the only family I ever known" Bruno eyes were so intensely cold that winter had come. "Making me into their "Chosen". By hurting me to get the soldier that they needed to fabricating their own digi destinies"

"They did all that all to you....just to make their own "chosen"? " Kiyo repeated in disbelief.

"Yeah....I was forced to become the very thing I hated! I turn innocent animal digimon into monstrous beasts. Watching them roar in constant pain.....I BECOME AN ANIMAL ABUSER!!" Jokermon looked at Bruno with sad eyes as the boy teared up.

The others froze. It must be hard to have become the opposite of everything you love.. To have that all changed by people using a child as their own personal tool.

"My cursed power comes from something that should exist anymore in the digital world. Yet those scientists managed to find the fragments of those "things". A thing made of pure evil. It's why I have to be freed from this curse! Even if I have to made you all fight me" Jokermon got ready as Bruno motion for him to get ready for battle.

They all got ready. Each of their digimon went to their ultimate level forms.

"Good thing I prepared some back up" With a snap of his fingers, Bruno woke Aliana up.

Worse was that she started to change. Change into something monstrous.  She grew triple her size as Carbunmon. Her black fur grew red spikes. Her fangs grew to the size of a sabertooth cats. Her gems became cracked and a black color. Her tail became snake like with two poisonous bee stingers. Her eyes were just black iris with violet numeral digits in them.

Mummymon and the others could only watch in horror.

"Sis...." Bayolamon teared up before she felt anger. She could feel the Wrath Sin Code on her right bicep glow madly. She snarled at Jokermon who just laughed.

The others shared their friend's rage as they engage into battle against the joker like digimon.

That left Aliana to Mummymon. Just ad the group planned beforehand. Though they did not prepare for that monsterly image of their friend. Mummymon was the least prepared. He lokked so horrified of what was before him. Bruno had transformed his daughter into this thing.

Though he would stop at nothing to get his precious bint back. He meant what he said! He would allow no more suffer or pain befall his child!
"Snake Bandage!" He refused to fight her so instead he trapped her in his most strongest wrapping that he had on him.

Aliana struggled to break free, though the wrapping felt as if they were made of chrome digizoid. A little modification from Blues.

"Aliana...." Mummymon stepped close. He began to talk to her. "I know you are upsrt at me. Betsumon may have spoken those hurtful words but I was not there to protect you from the you must have been feeling. To comfort you in the time that you most needed me to. Aliana, it matters not to me what you were in the past. You are nothing like the monster who puppeted you. Nor are you "HIS" weapon. You have started a new life and I could not be prouder. I am so grsteful that you and Shiramon have come into my life and called me you dad. Please forgive me. Let's go home together, Aliana" He pleaded as he soothe her the best he could.

That scene made Bruno freeze in surprise. Could he truly love Aliana thst much that he come back to rescue her?

"Meteor Lux!" Canoweissmon managed to land a final blow to their tied match with Jokermon. Hurting Bruno too.

He had no words as he started to disappear. Only relief. Finally the two could rest after the hell they been through.

After Bruno and Jokermon were dealt with, Aliana changed back to normal. It seems that dark mist expelled from her body.Her body overed in several wounds from the forced transformation.

She had somehow managed to look up with teary eyes. "Im....sorry" Was all she said

Mummymon teared up as he took her into his arms. "No....it was not your fault....never your fault" His voice shook has he hugged her. "You're back....that's all that matters.."

The two were finally together again. Once again the "Dark Mist" kids took things too far. This needed to stop.

Only four of them were left now. Koi being one of them. He had better ask to them after all is done.

How far will N.E.S.T go to make their soldiers? Who shall the team face next?  Will Hiro ever beat Mei in Super Smash Bros? Find out soon!
