003 - [Video]
[The feed clicks on, but at first there's nothing but blackness. The terminal is jostled slightly by someone on the other side, lifting off of a bed it looks like. The sound is slightly muffled by the sheets, but voices can be heard regardless.]
I don't know what your problem is!
Ohooo, MY problem? I'm not the one with the problem here pal! You kid are the one who wants to just- just rush out an' get your stupid, prehistoric butt handed to ya over some- some guy ya don't even KNOW!
[There's a loud rustle over the microphone as the terminal is jostled again before finally a video of some sort can be seen, but for now it's just the floor. Hiccup has it in his fist, but hasn't even had the chance to turn it on himself yet.]
Why wouldn't I want to help, Gomamon? Weren't you the one who tried to tear Monodramon apart for no good reason? What's so different about this, except that you're actually- I don't know- HELPING someone?!
[More movement. Hiccup stumbles back slightly, and there's a loud whine as he suddenly runs into the desk and knocks it back a few inches.]
He- ...That WAS for a good freakin' reason ya- ...ya know what, forget it. FORGET. IT. If you wanna go get yourself AND ME killed by bein' some big hero, go right on ahead! See if I care!
Care? Since when have you cared about anything but yourself in the first place!?
[There's a loud door slam, then silence, save for the sound of Hiccup breathing heavily over the feed. He...somehow ended up in the hallway. He doesn't care much about that right now though, he just wanted out of there. The video is still nothing but the floor as he slides to sit on the floor with his back to the wall. Then, finally, he turns the video on himself for just a split second to realize he was still....recording.
The feed cuts abruptly.]

But I can tell ya this.
You're in this together. You ain't got a choice. And forcin' your will over your partner's... that's never the right way to go about things. I ain't faultin' you for bein' brave, or wanting to help people, but you got to know one thing. It's you and the digimon together, and you're both each other's power.
And power isn't something that's borrowed or given. Power is combined.
If the two of you are gonna make it in this world, you both gotta remember that.

Even when Masaru finishes speaking, Hiccup doesn't say anything.
Because he's right. He's absolutely right, and it hits him like a ton of bricks. The pressure he's suddenly feeling on his chest nearly takes his breath away.
In his anger and frustration towards Gomamon, he hadn't even considered that perhaps he was doing exactly what Gomamon probably felt like he was doing to him. Forcing something on him that he didn't want, or that he didn't feel comfortable with. Hiccup knew he'd be feeling the same way, if they ended up getting stuck in the apartment.
It's an...awful feeling, but it was something he needed to hear. He glances back at the door to the apartment before finally reaching down to pick the Terminal back up. He has to clear his throat a few times, because at first he can't speak.]
.....Thank you.
[That....admittedly makes no sense and is a rather silly thing to say, but the gratitude is genuine even in that one word. He's not sure what else to say, but it's made him realize that if he keeps going against the grain with Gomamon, they'll both go down.
Power is combined. ...If he forgets that, neither of them will make it.]
[voice]
You don't need to thank me for nothing.
Now go talk to your partner, alright?
[voice]
....tell me though what....what's your name?
Who are you?
[voice]
Japan's number one banchou.
[voice]
[Might as well leave his full name out for the time being.]
Nice to.....to meet you, Daimon. And...thanks again. Really.

And it's no trouble at all.
