United, We Flourish [Closed/Bone]

Gizumon let out a slight whine as Maia asked what had happened to the Porcupamon that previously infested these halls. It shook its tiny body, the holographic Citramon shaking all the while as it did so, clearly unwilling to show the footage at a first glance. However, it didn't want its new friends to already be upset with it. Sighing in resignation, it scuttled over to Maia and Kuu and began projecting new footage through its eye. camera

Unlike its previous display, which was mostly cobbled together from hastily made improvisation and a literal orange, this was more like found footage from someone's camera. It was from a rather unorthodox angle, viewed from Gizumon's perch on the topmost corner of the ceiling. For a while it showed only an empty room, the cold storage area before it had completely frozen over. This was all the way back from the aftermath of Maia, Elliot, and Kuu's first run-in with the Porcupamon, where quick thinking on their parts lead to it being trapped behind a locked door.

With a few heavy bashes, that had changed. The metal door Porcupamon had been trapped within was smashed right off of its hinges, the legless Digimon crawling out and panting heavily. Its legs seemed to be fused to its hips by red thread, which slowly pulled the legs closer to its body. As one end of its hips reattached to the legs it started to pry itself off of the floor and limp. As the other reattached itself, it started to walk anew. Porcupamon may had been defeated earlier, but clearly it was merely down instead of out.

After walking around the room to test its new legs, it made its way to the elevator platform. A heavy clawed paw smashed into the button, and soon Porcupamon was descending.

The next footage, rather than single extended glimpses like this, were instead a series of shaky jump-cuts. They were all glimpses of Porcupamon stalking down the hallway, menacing whatever Digimon it encountered. Some seemed to be explorers, a Gekkomon with a torch being snatched away by a paw that shot from around the corner. Some seemed to be other experiments like the Citramon, a Suaksimon waving towards Porcupamon and happily whirling towards it. There were even a few Dark Area natives, a DemiDevimon and an Impmon excitedly talking among themselves and not even noticing the Porcupamon looming behind it. There were at least nine or ten of these shots, the camera scrambling away from the Porcupamon after each encounter as if terrified it'd be next.

In each shot, the Porcupamon was just a bit bigger than the last.

Finally, the last bit of footage was another long shot. It showed Porcupamon, now so tall that its ears brushed against the hallway, as it walked down one of the mazelike halls of the facility. Then, in the midst of walking, it seemed to stop in its tracks. Something bulged within it, as if part of Porcupamon was stopped and another part was continuing to march steadily onwards. Each time it bulged out it pounded forward a little bit more harshly than the last time, until soon Porcupamon's felt body ripped cleanly in half.

Striding out from the ruins of its previous form was none other than SkullMammothmon X. It strode confidently through the halls as its previous body fell to tatters behind it.

Gizumon slumped over sadly as the footage came to an end, letting out a few mournful beeps.
