Panic ran through Renamon's mind as the giant digimon [i]threw a tree[/i] at her and the human girl. Acting entirely on instinct, she tackled Violet once again and turned so that it was Renamon's back that slid across the ground, pulling the two at high enough speed to do damage to it through the path the tree was travelling. Her quick action was just barely enough to save them from becoming paste under the trunk as it landed. Violet's knife was knocked from her hand, and the headphones attached to her phone scraped along the ground behind her as she slid on top of the fox digimon.

[color=ed1c24]"Why... why do you keep saving me?"[/color] Renamon tried to smile but could only grimace in pain instead. [color=f7941d]"I can't just stand by and watch something die. Besides, you're the one from that day, the one who gave me my lucky fabric."[/color] Renamon let go of Violet and attempted to stand up, but couldn't. [color=f7941d]"I at least owe you that back."[/color] She said as she unwrapped the scarf and slowly placed it around Violet's neck. Violet felt tears fill her eyes. [color=ed1c24]"Wha- what?"[/color] She was going to continue but Renamon interrupted her with a coughing fit. [color=ed1c24]"You're hurt, really bad."[/color] She steeled herself as she pulled her now-returned scarf tighter. [color=ed1c24]"How can I help?"[/color] Renamon paused. There was only one thing she could do, if it were even possible. She'd heard that humans and digimon could combine their power in desperate situations, but she'd never seen it done before. [color=f7941d]"There might be something. But I don't know what will actually happen."[/color] She looked at her shoulder and winced. There didn't seem to be any other way. [color=f7941d]"If this works, I hate to rope you into this, but... We need to make a contract."[/color] She held out her right arm and focused. Will-o-wisps began forming around her in a circular pattern. Violet watched, transfixed, as they did before looking back to Renamon. Finally, she reached out and grabbed the digimon's hand with her own. [color=ed1c24]"Then let's."[/color] Renamon opened her eyes to see the human smiling at her. She smiled back. [color=f7941d]"Renamon."[/color] she said. As she saw the look of confusion on the human's face she explained. [color=f7941d]"That's my name."[/color] [color=ed1c24]"Oh! I'm Violet. Evergreen. Not the kind of name you hear around here, I know."[/color] Violet said with a slight laugh, despite the danger she had just been in. And with that, the foxfire grew and ingulfed the pair, burning bright blue in a large flame. [hr] In a flash of azure, the giant onibi burned itself away and revealed a [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/p__/images/2/24/Lillymon_2020_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20200906171434&path-prefix=protagonist]new entity[/url] kneeling in the middle. It bore Violet's red scarf around its neck. As it picked up the blue scarf that lay on the ground next to it, the human mind inside it realized that it could now understand the music that came from the headphones buried in the scarf.

Now then, are you okay with getting a spot of revenge on that giant digimon? I'm not a fan of vengeance, but it could hurt too many others if we don't stop it.[/i][/color] Renamon felt a shiver from Violet's self before getting a response, the combined digimon wrapping the blue scarf around its waist as she heard it. [color=ed1c24][i]Yeah... Yeah. Let's kick it up. Show them all the things we can do.[/i][/color] [color=f7941d][i]Wha-[/i][/color] [color=ed1c24][i]Don't worry about it. Let's go![/i][/color] The digimon went over, picked up the knife that had been knocked aside, and looked once more at the remnants of the tree that had been chucked at its component beings before turning and beginning towards the sound of violence. As it began to move, it noticed another digimon nearby and called out to it. [color=f26522]"Hey! Are you on the dragon's side or what?"[/color] [hider=♪ ♪ ♪] ♪ ♪ ♪ - the buzzing in my ears Was sucked into the sunset and vanished into the air... ♪ ♪ ♪ [/hider]
