Sukamon the Simp

Tentomon, Patamon, and the others behind them chimed in. It seemed they had all suffered the same fate.

After all, for a Perfect-level Monzaemon, beating up this bunch of weaklings was like beating up little kids, especially with a powerful disabling move like Love Serenade...

"Taking away the children's emotions and turning them into toys for toys?" Hearing their companions' account sent an inexplicable chill through Mimi.

"Yeah, that's exactly what Monzaemon said." Agumon's face was full of anger.

Remembering how Tai and the others had acted outside, Mimi finally realized what had been wrong.

"Monzaemon is letting the toys play with Tai and the others!"

"What happened to Monzaemon?" Palmon asked, holding the box.

As a fellow resident of File Island, Palmon knew a little about Monzaemon.

"We don't know..."

If Palmon didn't understand, Agumon and the others inside the box clearly didn't know the reason either.

"Can you get out of this box?" Looking at the completely ordinary box before her, Mimi couldn't understand how something like this could hold Digimon like Agumon, who could use moves like Pepper Breath.

"No, we already tried..."

At Mimi's question, Agumon helplessly told her the results of their earlier attempts.

"Don't worry about us. Go save Matt and the others first."

Even though Gabumon was trapped himself, Matt was still his greatest concern.

"How?" Palmon looked troubled by Gabumon's suggestion.

Their opponent was a Perfect-level Monzaemon, while Palmon was just a weak little Rookie. You want me to rescue someone from a Perfect-level Digimon???

"By beating Monzaemon, of course!"

Despite Palmon's hesitation, Biyomon spoke as though it were obvious...

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Palmon and Mimi both looked utterly awkward...

Biyomon... do you even hear what you're saying?

"By beating Monzaemon, of course!" You make it sound so easy, but that suggestion is a little detached from reality...

"That's too hard..."

"It's completely impossible..."

Mimi and Palmon timidly declared that there was no way they could carry out that plan.

"Palmon, Mimi, you're the only ones who can save everyone now."

Agumon's voice came from inside the box, sounding a little more spirited as he tried to encourage the dejected pair.

"Ah..." ×2

"What do we do?" Palmon was at a complete loss...

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" I'm just a kid too! Why do I have to shoulder all this?

As distressed as she was, it seemed Tai could only count on her and Palmon now.

Faced with Agumon's plea, Mimi stopped agonizing over it. Since they couldn't open the box, she would go with Palmon to save Tai and the others first.

As for how... they would take it one step at a time. Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Zhou Zhu at all. If only he were there to help...

Leaving the room where Agumon and the others were imprisoned, Mimi and Palmon wandered through the streets of Toy Town, looking rather lost.

"Monzaemon's Love Serenade is supposed to make people feel happy..." Even now, Palmon was still puzzling over Monzaemon's change.

After all, Monzaemon's Love Serenade could take out almost any weaker Digimon in a single hit...

"Haha! Hooray! Hooray!"

While the two were fretting, T.K. ran past them with a Toy Helicopter, shouting hooray like a complete idiot.

"What's there to be so happy about?"

Mimi watched the idiot recede into the distance, utterly speechless.

Clang, clang, clang! Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Just then, the sound of a gong came from near their feet.

A little figure holding a Gong had appeared at Mimi's feet and was frantically banging it, making a terrible racket.

"You're so noisy!" Already in a foul mood, Mimi snapped at the noisy interruption and stomped straight down on the Toy Figure.

Bang! Bang!

As the Toy Figure fell, Monzaemon seemed to sense Mimi's presence from behind a nearby house.

"Welcome to Toy Town!"

Holding two bunches of Balloons, Monzaemon slowly appeared before Mimi and Palmon.

"It's Monzaemon!"

Palmon's feelings at that moment were truly hard to describe...

"Miss, sorry for the wait!"

Monzaemon's tone was as polite as ever, though this time the greeting wasn't accompanied by a beam attack.

"What is this? I don't know what happened, but you took away my friends' emotions, didn't you? Give them back right now!" Already upset, Mimi flew into a rage at Monzaemon's sudden appearance, completely disregarding the gap in their strength.

Rumble!

Monzaemon's only answer was Lovely Attack!

"Ah! You've got to be kidding! Why do I have to keep running from a teddy bear?" Faced with such a ferocious attack, Mimi kept talking tough, but her body very honestly chose to flee.

"I don't know!"

Even as Palmon ran, she found time to answer Mimi's bewildered complaint...

"Have fun!"

Rumble!

It was the same routine as before: polite words, utterly ruthless attacks!

"Aaah! Miss, we're here to save you!"

At the critical moment, a whole crowd of Sukamon suddenly rushed out. As they spoke, they swarmed Monzaemon and attacked.

But their poop-throwing attacks did no damage to Monzaemon at all. Instead, they only enraged Monzaemon completely.

"Sukamon?"

Mimi was surprised by the Sukamon who had suddenly come to their rescue. After all, these guys had been throwing poop at her earlier.

"Why are the Sukamon doing this?" Palmon was equally baffled. Was Mimi really that charming? That was a Perfect-level Monzaemon! Did these Sukamon have a death wish?

"The Sukamon are fighting Monzaemon to save us."

Watching the Sukamon struggle desperately beneath Monzaemon, Mimi felt strangely moved. All they could do was throw Dookie, after all...

"Get lost!" With one furious slap, Monzaemon sent a great many Sukamon flying.

"Let me!"

Seeing the Sukamon's miserable plight, Palmon knew this was their only chance. If she didn't use the opening the Sukamon had created to attack Monzaemon right away, things would become even more dangerous once Monzaemon finished them off.

"Palmon, watch out!"

Watching Palmon charge forward, Mimi cried out anxiously.
