Third Scar [Video]

[thescaronhisface]

[The screen flips on not to Kovu, but to Lopmon and Strabimon, who both seem to be fighting over the D-terminal.]

It's on already you idiot now let me hold it!

[Lopmon suddenly lets go and Strabimon yanks it toward himself. He growls, then points the camera at Lopmon.]

Kovu's being a wuss again, but he wants to say thanks to all the guys who fought with him when Titamon showed up.

[Lopmon ducks to dodge a pillow tossed at him from one side of the room, while Strabimon's snickering is easy to hear since he's holding the D-terminal.]

He got the Crest of Hope, and I even got to digivolve to Ultimate! I turn into a super cool werewolf!

[Strabimon turns the camera toward himself now.]

Enough about the rabbit. I'm Strabimon, the partner Kovu was supposed to have when he got here. Dunno why, but Kovu said I should tell everyone who I am.

[He shrugs, and there's a bit of fumbling for the camera and a shout from Lopmon before the feed turns off.]

Comments

[changelingdude]

It's nice to meet you Strabimon. I've worked with Lopmon a couple times now and I think if you'll give them a chance you'll see what a powerful team you can be!

[thescaronhisface]

[Strabimon's brow creases as he thinks of what to say. Then he just kind of tilts his head and looks down at the camera with a half-frown, and an arched eyebrow. The expression is eerily reminiscent of his Chosen partner, even with just the brief time they've spent together.]

I was just saying he was talking about himself too much. From the sounds of it a lot of Digimon reached Ultimate when they fought Titamon, so what's the big deal that one more did?

Maybe the fact that I saved your sorry Rookie butt when I did it.

[Lopmon grins, before Strabimon shoves him over. That just gets the rabbit Digimon to start giggling, and from somewhere off-screen there's a deeper voice chuckling a little too.]

[changelingdude]

[Even Rita can't help but chuckle]

I just worry that not all the partners are taking this as well as some of the others.

We've been lucky so few partners have fought over all this.

[thescaronhisface]

[Lopmon gets back up, and his giggling goes quiet as he hangs his head.]

Kovu said something about me being able to understand how he feels now.

Quit moping, you brat. It doesn't get anything done.

[A moment later there's much flailing and shouting, as Strabimon has grabbed Lopmon into a headlock for a noogie. From the looks of it, he doesn't have any plans on letting Lopmon care about being a fake partner.]

[changelingdude]

[Rita just laughs and smiles, happy to see Kovu's got partners that look ready to keep him on his toes.]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh, Kovu got a crest too? Neat!

[thescaronhisface]

[Lopmon finally manages to get away, and Kovu's still off screen trying not to laugh his head off. Strabimon's still grinning, but Lopmon's pouting kind of playfully.]

See? That's what moping gets you.

Next time I digivolve I'm gonna set your tail on fire.

[thescaronhisface]

Yeah! I and digivolved right after. It was really cool!

[strengthinkindness]

Awesome! I digivolved after Fluttershy got her crest too!

...Although I was a Moonmon before that, so when she got her crest I just digivolved back to a Lopmon...

[thescaronhisface]

That sounds kinda funny. Why?

[strengthinkindness]

Well...back when the city was all dark, I got hurt and turned back into an egg. Then I had to digivolve from a Snowbotamon and Moonmon before I could get back to being a Lopmon.

[thescaronhisface]

You should be more careful.

[strengthinkindness]

Well it wasn't like I asked to die. Besides, I had Dark Digivolved too, so I wasn't really able to control myself.

[thescaronhisface]

Then Fluttershy should be more careful.

[Though now Lopmon's surprised that he hasn't Dark Digivolved, thinking about all of Kouv's problems and how often the guy nearly has a breakdown.]

[strengthinkindness]

Hey, she was scared. Besides, we were attacked. It wasn't like we were asking for trouble.

[thescaronhisface]

...OH. Sorry. You guys okay now?

[Oops. Isn't it supposed to be Kouv's job to slip up and say stupid insensitive things like that?]

[strengthinkindness]

[Choco still looks a little on edge, but with a sigh he manages to calm down a little.]

Yeah, for the most part...Fluttershy's other wing got broken, back when people were still acting weird because of that virus, but other than that everything's okay...

[thescaronhisface]

Uh...sorry about her wing, too. Kovu spent that whole time here in the apartment. He barely left at all. I think he was worried the virus was gonna mess with him, too.

[strengthinkindness]

[Choco nods.] That's understandable. That virus really messed people up...

[thescaronhisface]

It was really scary seeing all those Mega level Digimon going crazy, and all the Chosen getting so nasty over the network. I hope it doesn't come back.

[strengthinkindness]

Yeah...it really was one of the worst things that's happened in the city so far. Even worse than Titamon attacking, I think...

[thescaronhisface]

We coulda handled him better if everybody wasn't so messed up before.

[strengthinkindness]

Well, yeah probably. But I mean...attacking Digimon happens a lot. It's not really anything new. But the virus really changed people...made them really different from how they normally are. And now that they're all back to normal, they all feel really bad and guilty about what they did when the virus was around.

A lot of them are really upset and down on themselves about it...and that makes it a lot worse than just Titamon attacking the city.

[thescaronhisface]

We should do something to make them all feel better!

[strengthinkindness]

Yeah, definitely!

...But what?
