Blackened Nothingness.

All that there was within this abandoned city of advanced technology was darkness with not even a singular visible sight underneath the domain's darkest sky. All that could be seen despite the infinite void was a conspicuous number of endless chains that seemed to shine with a bright and eerie yellowish-green glow with one singular multicolored eye consisting of blue, purple, yellow, pink and green, that was standing atop of a singular tower. However, this being wasn't on its own, as what appeared to be a Draconic creature's wings could be heard loudly flapping to keep its body airborne in the shadowy horizon, staying rather close to the being who was binded by the chains that were attached to his body. "A shame that the robot was unable to prove its worth. But nonetheless, we won't need to seek them out anymore. Those two Legends thought they could continue hiding from our sights within this city forever, but it's clear as day that they've underestimated us, and what we can truly do." The being attached to the chains told the dragon-like creature, who knew what the chained being's command was without as much as a single word being uttered, as it took to the muddied skies, letting loose a raining barrage of shining red arrow-like lasers, destroying and decimating every last piece and corner of this mysterious, darkened city, as well as all of the other beings who were currently in it, be they alive or not, as the chains that were constricting the body of the other being all broke off into splintered shards of metal, as a Purplish-blue vortex that appeared to somewhat be in the shape of a star faintly lit up the endless darkness around it, as the duo consisting of the once-chained creature and the draconic being went through it, and the illuminance from the starry-shaped vortex lit up the city, revealing the once-grand city to now be reduced down to nothing more than just large piles of endless rubble, as well as a multitude of bare skeletons and two cracked gems- One a Ruby, and the other a Sapphire. But amidst all the destruction, there was one thing standing out above the other bones and broken gemstones and building structures-

A skull that resembled a Triceratops', that seemed to faintly glow with both bright orange and yellow lights.

~Waking World~

"UWAAH~!" Gammamon Squeaked loudly in fear, jolting awake from his small little bed that Casey had so generously made for him the day they got back to Earth from Neowise, after defeating his father, Regulusmon, who betrayed the Nixel Armada, and had managed to not only Digivolve into his Mega-level form of Arcturusmon, but also had created copies of his human partner's Mixel partners, the Infernites, forged from nothing but his own Poison that he utilized to infect and devour The homes of his Mixel friends, the Digital World, and multiple other worlds- A type of poison known as the GRB (Short for Gulus Realm Burst)- and the copies of those fiery Mixels were known only as the Shadownites. "Ohh~? So, that strange thingy that I saw earlier was just a scary nightmare..." He told himself, beginning to calm down, as a blackened, taller version of himself with a harpoon-like tip at the end of his tail and blue cape that seemed like it had been torn along the ends walked into the room. "'Ey, lil' bro. Ya a'ight? Casey 'n the otha's heard ya screamin' fr'm downstairs, an' they told me t'come and check up on 'ya..." This was none other than Gulus Gammamon- Or as he was more commonly referred to as by his allies now, Gulus- Gammamon's older Brother. You see, in the past, Gulus had been sealed within his little brother's body as a workaround to the little Digimon being able to live a normal life, despite Gammamon being born with a fractured digicore. However, when Gammamon first let Gulus loose by Dark Digivolving, Casey and the others saw that he was nothing more than a cold-blooded killer that Gammamon had constantly referred to as his own 'inner demons'... Or at least, that's what everyone else thought Gulus was. Soon enough, Gulus had ended up becoming an invaluable ally to the team in do-or-die situations, who even helped them take down the insane Digimon that viewed himself as a god that was Arcturusmon, and also managed to leave his little brother's body for good in order to seal the Shadownites within him by using the raw power he alone had inherited from Arcturusmon as a Devourer. Nonetheless, even though he had caused a fair amount of digital murder in his past, Gulus would do anything he could for Gammamon- All if it meant keeping his little brother, the only person left alive in their bloodline, safe from any kind of harm.

"Yeppers-peppers, Big bro. I'm fine. Just had a nightmare, is all. There was a bunch of Skele'ons, and two cracked gems in it- One red, and the other blue. There was even something in pikapika chains, and what I think might've been a dragon, and they escaped through a blue and purple vortex shaped like a star... Dunno where they went after they went through it, though..." Gammamon mumbled, as Gulus just patted his little brother on the head, doing what he could to brighten his mood. "But'cha said it yer'self, Gamms; What'cha saw w's nuth'n more th'n jus' a nightmare. Now, c'mon. We gotta get goin' on our way t'Clover Park an' gettin' th' supplies we're gon' need t'help ev'ryone else in our friend group t' prep're for Spicy's Quinceañera." The dragon Digimon told his little brother with a smile, as Gammamon nodded. "Ohh~! We're all gonna work together, and ultimately give Casey the absolute bestest Kin-sen-errah ever in the history of ever!" The little white Triceratopsian Digital monster then cheered happily and excitedly, trying his best to pronounce the Spanish word correctly, as a Cheerful & lively melody started filled the Almenera household as well as the rest of Santa Monica.

[Gammamon and Gulus are walking to the front door of the Almenera household, and while Gulus is beginning to rearrange his cape into a cloak covering his body, he begins to sing.]

"Ev'ry single day, there's somethin' new f'r us t'plan f'r-"

[Gammamon flies over to one of the coatracks, and then proceeded to grab some tote bags for himself and his older brother to carry the things they'll get, since the shops they were going to were gonna give them what they needed- Just the perks of saving the whole of the known universe! As he hands 2 totes to Gulus, Gammamon then begins to sing.]

"Every single day, there's something fun-derful for folks to do!

But nothing makes me feel Kirakira, like a day where we can say~

[Gammamon then pulls out a second, brand new locket that was next to the one that held a photo of him with his mother, Rafflesimon, from underneath his bandanna that was a brilliant rose gold. Upon opening it, a photo could be seen of Gammamon and his older brother with Casey in the middle, with the left side reading, 'Our first real human Compadre'. Soon enough, both the brothers left the house, walking (And flying, in Gammamon's case,) all the way to the Shopping district at third street between Wilshire Boulevard and Broadway, Third Street Promenade, as they both began to sing together.]

Today, we're planning a party, an' it's all for you!"

_______________________________________________________________________________

[pause musical number]

Soon enough, the two siblings had reached Third street Promenade, and together, they entered a small party supply shop owned by Opossummon. "Hey, your majesties! How're you both doing?" The little beast Digimon asked the duo, as Gammamon cheerfully smiled. "Ohh~! Opossummon! We're doing awesome!" The little Digimon laughed at his small rhyme, as Gulus pat his little brother's head. "So, 'ya got any stream'rs 'r balloons in stock, Blow-pops?" The good Devourer asked Opossummon who quickly nodded. "More than enough! I heard from Those lime-green Mixels that your human partner's Quinceañera was coming up, and the day's finally here!" He smiled, as he went through his stock of party supplies, before finding what the two Royal Digimon needed. "Alright, I got some red and orange streamers, but I don't have any helium balloons, but I do have blow-up balloons. Hopefully that'll work for the two of you, despite that snag for your plans!" Tilting his head a bit as Opossummon put the items in his brother's tote bag, Gammamon looked over at the small beast Digimon. "You're really giving us this stuff for free?" The little white Digimon asked, as Opossummon nodded. "But of course! You two and the Chosen Ones saved the whole universe from the Devourer of Space, so consider this stuff on the house!" He explained, as Gulus flashed the little beast Digimon a smile. "Heh. Eith'a way, thanks a lot, Blow-Pops." The black dragon Digimon happily said, as he and his little brother went back on their way to get all things they needed.

[With both the streamers and blow-up balloons acquired, Gulus pulled out a list, and checked the items off on the list, and begins to sing as he looks at the rest of the items on the list]

"Don't have much time t'gather, all th' things we'll need,

If 'er Quinceañera will be one wh're folks'll dance 'n sway~"

[Gammamon swoops past his brother, getting some more of the stuff they'll need in his tote bags, including a blank banner, as he begins to sing as well] 

"For today's another day that all our Compadres in town will say:"

[A crowd of humans, Mixels, and Digimon watch as the siblings pass by, as they all harmoniously sing out together]

"There goes Gammamon and Gulus, Princes of Dawn and Dusk!"

[Melody and the Mixies are working together to create a new song for Casey's Quinceañera, and Melody smiles as she takes notice of Gammamon, beginning to sing as she and her partners are hard at work]

"Gamms helped me to not be afraid of letting others know of my fame,

Now everyone in my life knows both my real and Stage names!"

[Alya watches Gulus as he passes by with Gammamon, carrying some cupcakes to Clover Park with help from Ren, Kaitlyn, Kiyo, Bianca, Aleena, Abraham, Bonnie, Dracmon, Angoramon, Jellymon, and the other kids' Mixel Partners, as the young Roark sibling began to sing]

"He helped us find the courage when the 6 were on the rise,

If it weren't for Gulus being there, we wouldn't have turned the tides!

And we ended up saving the universe, with the Princes of Dusk and Dawn!"

Gammamon slowly stopped to look over at Alya, seeming more than a bit confused. "Honestly, I don't fully know whether to see that stuff you said as flattery or not, but thanks anyway, Alya!" He happily and cheerfully smiled, as he then looked over to Gulus, who just calmly nodded, understanding just what his little brother was about to say to him. "Gamms, you've b'n workin' hell'a hard, helpin' me go 'round th' city t'get everythin'. Now, ya  jus go 'long wit' Jellybaby 'n th' otha's, n' take th' Banner to th' park, a'n dec'rate it. Ah'll handle gettin' th' rest o'the dec'rations t' Clover Park. A'ight?" The jet-black dragonoid Digimon asked his little brother while taking Gammamon's tote bags and giving the little white Digimon a few assorted paint colors and markers, as he had then eagerly nodded. "Uwooh~! Yeah-yeah! I can definitely make the banner for the Kin-sen-errah! Big bro, you always know that you can just leave it all to Gamms! C'mon, guys!" Gammamon beamed happily and excitedly as he went with Alya and the others she was currently with to Clover Park, as Gulus continued on his way to get everything that he knew was more than needed for Casey's Quinceañera, but somewhere deep inside of his chest, the Prince of the Dusk just somehow couldn't shake the awful feeling that something was going to go wrong today, but he didn't even know the exact reason as to how nor why...

[Resume musical number]

[Gammamon and Alya's group begin to make their way to Clover Park, and soon enough, they reach the park, where a bunch of other Mixels and Digimon are with the rest of the Chosen Ones, and they all begin to sing while setting up for the big Bash]

"Every single day, there's something new we can plan out-

Every single day, there's something fun-derful to try!

But nothing makes us happy, like a day where we can say:

Today, there's a Quinceañera for Casey Almenera!"

________________________________________________________________________________

"Alright, everyone, just stand back and leave it to Gamms! It's time for me to creatively go kaboom on the banner!" Gammamon happily cheered, as he set the banner on the ground, and put his clawed hands in the red and orange paints, and proceeded to leave behind some prints of his claws on the banner, and with help from Flain and some of the others, the banner was complete in no time flat, including a cavalcade of multiple arrays of near-infinite beautiful and unique designs, and text that read in Spanish in the middle of it, 'Feliz Quinceañera, Casey'. Soon enough, Gulus came back with everything else needed for the party, Melody and the Mixies by his side. "A'ight, ev'ryone, lis'n up!  We've all only got 'til t'night at Eight til' th' start'o Casey's Quinceañera, so once we get finished w'th th' dec'rations, we can get some pres'nts f'r 'er, and chill f'r a few hours til' Hen-Hen, Camilla, Carlos, and Chicken and 'is siblings go t'get her and bring 'er here f'r th' party." Gulus smiled, as Flain nodded in agreement with the good Devourer's statement. "Yeah. What we're doing for her may not be a Mix festival, but Casey's done a lot for every single one of us here, so we've all gotta do everything that we can in order to make her Quinceañera the best one on the face of the earth!" The Infernite leader agreed, as Gammamon jumped up and down excitedly. "Yeah! Let's get to finishing up!" The little dino Digimon beamed, as they all quickly went to work.

However, when they all finished up, the earlier words of Gammamon's older brother sparked something in him. "GWAAAH! I-I FORGOT TO GET CASEY A PRESENT!" The little Dinosaur Digimon shrieked in a frenzied, hysterical panic, as Vulk went over to his side. "G-Gammamon, it's ok! You being there for her is the best possible gift you can give Casey for her Quinceañera..." The cat-like Infernite tried to explain, as Gammamon shook his head. "No, Vulk. I haf'ta get Casey something! Alongside the rest of you, she helped me, and my big bro see that my papa was a real dirtbag! I can leave it all to me, 'cause I'm gonna get Casey Almenera, my Human partner and my first real human compadre, the best gift ever in the history of ever for her best kin-sen-errah ever in the history of ever! Because that's what a good friend- and someone who's also really strong- would do!" Gammamon loudly shouted at almost the top of his lungs with more than just a measly hint of determination- Rather, it was purely oozing with determination- in his voice, as he flew off, the air tense from how clearly the little white dinosaur Digimon was dead set upon going the extra mile for his own Human partner who hailed from Spain. "... Does Gammamon even know what it really means to be strong?" Jellymon asked, earning confused looks from everyone present. "I mean, we all know that despite him taking down the Devourer of Space, Gamms is still just a little kid, but I can definitely agree with him on one thing- knowing everything both inside and out about someone that you've known for nearly two years now is definitely a strength in its own right when you take only just a moment to consider it, but getting someone a gift is just being considerate." Cthyllamon, a face from Jellymon's past back in the Digital World, went over to her, patting her on the head with one of his flippers. "Jells, chill! Whether it's either strong or considerate, 'lil baby bop is still hella strong! Did'ja forget that he practically punched the Devourer of Space down into nothin' but data particles with Mixia Knuckle attack of his?!" He excitedly told her, as Teslo went over to the duo. "Though, when Gammamon did that, he waz in his mega-level form. That, and everymixel there during the fight- Myzelf included- helped land that killing blow, too." The Electroid leader was quick on the draw to explain the truth to Cthyllamon. "Yeah, yeah, but don't forget who turned a majority of you into sea creatures." "Nurp was a penguin!" Nurp interrupted the Electroid leader and the Aquatic mega-level Digimon, as Cthyllamon had then promptly sighed. "... Yeah, kid, we know you were." However, as everyone else was talking about Gammamon's outburst and how he said that what he had to do was something that 'someone really strong' would do, Gulus nervously looked over in the direction that his little brother went. "Why? Why does that bad feelin' Ah've had since Ah let Gamm's go off with th' otha's here keep comin' up ...?" The good devourer almost frightenedly asked himself, a sense of genuine worry growing within his heart, as he soon went off in the same direction his little brother flew off in.

After he washed his claws in a nearby washroom, Gammamon had made his way into a desolate forest-like area of Clover Park. However, as he left the area where Casey's big Quinceañera was going to be held, the little Digimon heard every single word Jellymon had said about him. "I-I'm not a little kid! And I know what it means to be strong! It means being rough and tough enough to protect the ones you love! That's what fulfilling the prophecy way back then has taught me!" Gammamon said to himself, seeming like he was on an emotional balancing act that had himself leaning towards both self-belief and self-doubt. Sure, he was younger than the other Mixels, Humans, and Digimon that he always hung out with, but there was no doubt in Gammamon's mind that he was more than just exceedingly strong! Heck, he even defeated Arcturusmon, his own father, with nothing more than just a single punch! "Maybe Jellymon's right... I'm a little kid who doesn't even really have a clear idea of knowing what it even means to really be strong..." He mumbled to himself, teetering closer to self-doubt, before he came up with a plan. "That is, unless I can make my best kin-sen-errah present ever in the history of ever for Casey the best possible kind of proof that shows beyond the shadow of a doubt that I really do know what it means to be strong!" Gammamon cheered happily, as he began flittering around the forest, constantly chanting to himself, 'You are not just a little kid, and you DO know what it means to be strong!' while a slow but upbeat melody had begun to fill the not so quiet area he was in.

[Gammamon's walking through the forest for a few moments, before he starts to sing.]

"Sure, I've spent recent days playing around,

Head in the clouds, and my feet on the ground.

But there's more to me than just title and name

Give me a chance, and I would change the game!

And maybe one day, Jellymon could say..."

[Gammamon then stops and then proceeds to do an impression of Jellymon before continuing to sing]

'You're the strongest Digimon, You're the coolest, Gamms!'

"It's just somethin' I'm now wantin',

 I wanna be able to say, 'Gamms did it'!"

[Gammamon continues to walk through the forest, still singing]

"Let me find adventure,

Be a real leader, and more!"

[Casey's voice can be heard along the wind, singing backup vocals throughout]

('Cause you're not a Clueless child...)

[Gammamon watches as a monarch butterfly flies by and lands on the horn above his nose]

"I wish she'd see I'm not just the 'mon next door..."

(No, you're not a clueless child!)

[Gammamon watches as the butterfly that landed on the horn above his nose flies away]

"There's gotta be some kinda way-

A way to prove the real meaning of strength!

But how can I prove those facts that I know?

...Am I just a clueless child?"

(No, you're not a clueless child...)

(No, you're not a clueless child!)

[Gammamon's wings unfurl, as he flies around, still singing]

"So, what if I'm a kid? It's what I prefer to be!

There's not a 'mon who can Digivolve like me!

The Digimon known as the Cosmic Savior

And undisputed royalty as the Prince of the Dawn!

And everyone in Cali knows that they can depend,

On this expert cute-iste who's a trusted friend!

I can eat a bunch'a champions,

I can even tap-dance like-"

[Gammamon jumps down on top of a small log, and does a quick tap dance routine, as he continues to sing, flying yet again] 

"Let me find adventure,

Be a real leader, and more!

('Cause you're not a clueless child...)

Can't she see I'm not just the 'mon next door?"

(No, you're not a clueless—)

[ Gammamon's wings continue to flap as he remains mostly motionless, his eyes closing welling up with tears as he sings.]

"I wish that I could find my own way,

I never thought I'd ever be doubted

I wanna celebrate with all my compadres

But words, I've heard, are dragging me down

And now I dunno what role I can play

In my favorite town..."

(No, no, no, no)

[Gammamon's eyes open up, a determined gleam in them, as he quickly wipes his tears away, and moves along the airy breeze with the use of his wings once more]

"NO!

Just lemme find adventure,

Be a real leader, and more!

('Cause you're not a clueless child...)

I will show I'm not just the 'mon next door!"

(No, you're not a clueless child!)

[Gammamon floats over by a river to rest his wings for a moment as he continues to sing.]

"I'm gonna find a better way:

A way to prove the facts I know,

And I am gonna seek out the real meaning of—"

[Suddenly, a visage of Jellymon appears in the river, as Jellymon begins to sing]

"No!

You're just a clueless child..."

[Gammamon shakes his head, trying to deny her vocalized claims]

"You're wrong, Jellymon.

I really DO know what it means to be strong, and I'm certainly not a little kid!"

[Jellymon continues to sing, ignoring him]

"You are still a clueless child..."

[Gammamon still tries to explain it to her]

"Because I know that being strong means...

It means being rough and tough enough!"

[Jellymon shakes her head again]

"'Cause you're just a clueless child..."

[Jellymon is once again interrupted by Gammamon]

"And if not that, then being strong means protecting those you love!

If not that, then it means being brave in a do-or-die situation!

And if not that, either, then maybe, just maybe if, if possibly..."

[Jellymon begins to sing a little bit louder]

"Yes, a very clueless child~!"

[Gammamon seems a little bit nervous, before his courage quickly returns to him.]

"Well, maybe I don't entirely know, but I'm gonna find out before the kin-sen-errah!

When the going gets tough, I say, 'Go, Gamms, go!'!"

[Gammamon swipes his claw through the river, getting rid of the image of Jellymon in the water, as he flies deeper into the forest-like area, the sunlight barely making it through the treetops]

"No, I'm not a clueless child~!

(Let me find adventure,

Be a real leader, and more!)

I am not a clueless child~!

(I'll make 'em see I'm not just the 'mon next door!)

Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

[Gammamon continues to fly through the air, exploring the forest-esque area of the forest in his search for something that'd help him find the important gift he intends to give Casey at her Quinceanera.]

"Before tonight, I'll find my way-

A way to prove the facts, I know-

That I'm not!

(NOT!)

A Clueless child~!"

[END OF MUSICAL NUMBER]

As he continued to fly in the air, searching for the gift he'd give to Casey as the proof that he was a Digimon that knew what it really meant to be someone strong, Gammamon's nose seemingly twitched a little bit, picking up some kind of peculiar scent. "Ohh~? That doesn't smell like any perfume I know about, or any of the yummy treats that Bonnie makes at cafe Luxxe with help from her family..." The little Dinosaur Digimon mumbled to himself as he continued to follow the scent, and as he did, the young little white Triceratopsian Digimon had started taking quick notice of a triad of exceedingly important details regarding his current surroundings. One such important thing he took note of was the fact that there was now little to no sunlight shining through the treetops, but thanks to how he was raised during his youth and all of the adventures he had been on in the past helped him get decently better at seeing things from within complete and total darkness. The second key detail the little Digimon had noticed was that a few feet away from him, there was a set of 5 peculiar statues in an old, withered and abandoned fountain covered in vines and ivy, each statue far more peculiar and freakier than the last. 

[Cue insert theme- Digimon Ghost Game Original Soundtrack Track 06- 'Creeping Mystery', Composed by Kow Otani]

https://youtu.be/hTZjA8Gyeaw

The first statue on the left appeared to be in the shape of some kind of melted, goopy mess of a body with some sort of strange theater mask made of a strange stone that seemed to serve as its face, with what appeared to be what appeared to be droplets of ooze and slime dripping from the eyes chiseled onto the rocky likeness of this being. The second sculpture next to the seemingly slimy one appeared to look like some type of quadrupedal being bearing a large eye that was covering up the entirety of its face, with smaller eyes decorating the rest of its body, each eye looking like it had belonged to a different animal or lifeform, all of them but the one on its face, being just one large human eye. The third one, located on the right side of the fountain seemed to be the horrifying mishmashed result of what someone would get if you were to fuse a human being with a goat in a gruesome sort of manner, and in one of the goat-man's hands, a cube-shaped item preciously held close to its chest, like it was some sort of meaningful treasure to this being that it couldn't bear to part with. Above the Bovidae-humanoid hybrid statue appeared to be some rather outlandish kind of quadrupedal beast, similarly to the multi-ocular beast next to the drippy one, but unlike the statuette riddled with optics, this statue was chiseled to make it appear fuzzy and fluffy, but this being had no head for a... Well, head, but rather, its head was nothing more than a human mouth, complete with teeth and a tongue, complete with some drool chiseled between the teeth, lips, and tongue. As for the fifth and final statue, located in the dead center of the other four, this one appeared to be a humanoid cephalopod, with two of its tentacles functioning as legs, with the other six acting as a flowing cape, and there was also a small number of tentacles in place of this being's mouth. Fluttering his way on over to this forgotten fountain that had obviously been claimed by the cold and unforgiving grasp of time, Gammamon curiously eyed it in all its aged glory and ancient splendor. "Ohh~? These look familiar... But how?" The little Digimon asked himself as he landed atop the finish of the fountain, before it had all clicked in his mind. "Uwaah! Th-These are the Lords in Black!" He fearfully squeaked, flittering a fair distance as he remembered what they made him and his older brother do so that way they, along with the rest of their friends, could stop his father all those years ago, but out of the corner of his eyes, Gammamon saw the third and final key detail-

For some strange reason, there appeared to be a strange, yet frail-looking door merged to a rock. A strange door with yellowish-green chains painted onto it that, against all likely odds, seemed like it could be fully operational.

[End Insert theme]

"Why's there some kinda weird door on this rock...?" Gammamon asked himself, flying onto the top of the rock in order to further examine it and the door seemingly plastered onto it, his mind wondering whatever it could be, and what kind of reason it was here, and on a rock, of all things. However, he had then heard footsteps drawing closer to where he was, and as he nervously looked over to the entryway that he had entered this small grotto from, worried that it might be a wolf, what he saw instead was his older brother, Gulus. "Gamms! There ya are! Ah was worried sick 'bout ya! Ah thought'cha said ya were gonna head off'ta find Spicy th' best present ever f'r her Quinceañera. What're ya doin' all th' way out here?" He asked the little white Digimon, who then puffed out his chest with the same amount of Arrogance Zorch was known for showing almost every single day. "I'm out here to find Casey the kind of thing that someone strong like me can get for her as the best kin-sen-errah gift ever in the history of ever- Proof that shows I know the real meaning of strength, and that I'm not a little kid like Jellymon thinks I am!" Gammamon declared as he walked along the top of the rock, feeling high and mighty about his declaration, as Gulus sighed. "Kiddo, believe me when Ah say this t' ya, but JellyBaby really didn't mean anythin' wrong by it. Hell, she didn't ev'n say dat stuff straight t' y'r face!" The Prince of the Dusk tried to explain to his little brother, but unfortunately for the good Devourer, Gammamon wasn't having any of it for even a split second. 

"If Jellymon didn't mean anything bad by saying it, she wouldn't have EVEN SAID IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! I know I'm not as old as you or any of the others, big bro, but I'm NOT WEAK! I never have been from the start! Besides, IT'S NOT FAIR THAT SHE GETS TO SAY THAT STUFF ABOUT ME, WHEN I ALREADY KNOW WHAT PROVES THE FACTS THAT I'M STRONG...!" Gammamon angrily whimpered, tears beginning to form in his eyes, as the furious, almost childish temper of the young white triceratopsian Digimon with the title of Prince of the Dawn only grew and grew more and more with each little stomp that the Digimon had done on the rock, unknowingly ridding the door of the several glowing chains that had been 'painted' onto it.

"I WAS THE ONE WHO LANDED THE FINAL HIT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST QUEEN NIXEL!"

One chain was now gone.

"WHEN WE WENT TO NEOWISE TO STOP PAPA AND THE ARMADA ONCE AND FOR ALL, I WAS THE LAST 'MON STANDING WHEN WE TRIED TO FIGHT BLOOMLORDMON BEFORE I LET YOU TAKE CONTROL OF ME!"

And now another.

"I SAVED BELLE, GRYPHON, AND EVERYONE ELSE AFFECTED BY CALAMARAMON'S DIGITAL RINGS WHEN WE WENT DOWN TO PISMO BEACH WITH CASEY, HEN-HEN, THE FROSTICONS, MS. FROST, ESPIMON, JELLYMON, FLAIN, VULK, ZORCH FLAM'ZR, MEL'US, AND BUN'RAR!"

And finally...

"I KNOW WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO BE STRONG BECAUSE I'M ROUGH AND TOUGH ENOUGH TO PROTECT ALL OF THE HUMANS, MIXELS, AND DIGIMON THAT I CHERISH IN MY LIFE, AND I DON'T EVEN NEED TO USE ANY OF THE POWER THAT WAS HANDED DOWN TO US AS THE DESCENDANTS OF THE DEVOURER OF SPACE, UNLIKE YOU!"

With one last tiny Gammamon-sized stomp, not only did the little Digimon fall from atop the rock, but the final chain 'painted' on the door faded away, mysteriously forcing the door merged with the rock wide-open, creating an exceedingly powerful vacuum-esque breeze, able to suck anything nearby in through the door, a familiar glowing array of colors faintly gleaming through the darkness- an array of Blue, Purple, Yellow, Pink, & Green.

"FUCK!" Gulus shouted at the top of his lungs, as he swiftly flew over to all 5 statues of the Lords in Black in the fountain, as the good Devourer had managed to fly quickly enough to avoid ending up caught by the suction from what lied beyond the door. Gammamon, on the other hand, due to having smaller wings that didn't function as well as Gulus' flight capabilities, quickly grabbed onto the bottom frame of the door merged with the rock he was on top of moments ago, clutching onto it with all of the mighty strength that he could muster in his clawed hands, but as he was a rookie-level Digimon, he could feel his grip slowly but surely weakening. "B-Big bro, I-I'm slipping! PLEASE, HELP ME!!!" Gammamon shouted, his voice practically (and from several certain viewpoints, quite literally) dripping with fear and panic. "Hang on, Gamms, Ah gotcha!" Gulus called to him amidst the windy gale that seemed to swallow anything that went through the door that once had chains seemingly painted on it, trying his best to think of a plan, before coming to one singular solution that felt like his best bet to save the one he cherished so dearly in his entire life- And that meant he had to risk doing something potentially fatal, yet it was also going to be the only thing he knew he had more than enough power to pull off in order for the Prince of the Dusk to circumvent the fate that threatened to suck his little brother in through the cursed doorway. 'Please... PLEASE don't end up makin' me murd'r th' only fam'ly memb'r th't Ah have left in mah life...'

"DEAD-END SKEWER!" Gulus shouted at the top of his lungs as his tail rapidly veered its way towards Gammamon, the harpoon-like tip stopping inches in front of the white triceratopsian Digimon's face. "Gamms, hurry 'n grab ont'a mah tail! N' be careful to not touch the tip of mah tail, since Ah don't want'cha t'get cut 'r worse!" The good devourer called to his little brother, who managed to grab onto his tail, but as Gammamon began to reach onto his older brother's tail with the other claw, something managed to tickle the inside of his nose, causing a reflex known all too well by any being with a nose. Realizing what this was going to entail, a look of pure, unsurmountable fear began to grow on Gulus' face.

"Ahh..."

"Gamms, please...!"

"Ahhh..."

"GAMMAMON, AH'M FUCKIN' BEGGIN' YA SINCE AH DON'T WANNA LOSE YA HOW LIKE WE BOTH LOST 'MA, PLEASE HOLD IT-"

"AHH-CHOO!" The little Digimon sneezed loudly, as he lost the grip that he had on both his older brother's tail, and on the bottom frame of the strange door, as he began falling into the hole beyond the other side of the door. "BIG BROOOooooooo...!" Gammamon fearfully screamed at the top of his lungs, as the further he got away from the door itself and his older brother on the other side of it, the fainter his screams grew, before he was completely gone on the other side of the door, before it suddenly closed in front of Gulus' face, leaving him completely speechless due to what he had just witnessed. Swiftly careening his way over to the door, Gulus tried to open the door his brother was sent flying through, rapidly trying to open it so he could go after his little brother, However, no matter how much or how forceful he was with twisting the doorknob, the good Devourer just couldn't find the strength inside of him that he needed to successfully open it and go after his younger sibling. "Fuckin' hell, this is a r'lly fuckin' bad situation... What'm Ah ev'n gonna do...?" He sorrowfully mumbled to himself, fear practically oozing from his own vocal cords as tears began to form and drip from both of his eyes. Today was intended to be the perfect day for all of the perfect reasons- Or at least, it was SUPPOSED to be the type of day whereas nothing could possibly go wrong. But even against all of the possible odds, even with him trying to stick close to his little brother in order to make sure that no harm or danger befell him, he ended up failing, and now, because of his inability to save his only family member that he had left in his entire life, Gammamon was now tumbling through a blackened void, headed to god-knows-where...
