Shakamon was silent as Tawna spoke. Her words angered the digimon in attendance however. Harsh words were spat and looks of hatred were drawn toward her. Tawna seemed to be justifying Meicoomon's actions by the fact that it was not done out of malice, but of instinct.
"That does not justify her actions" Shakamon replied. "Eggs and babies that live the Village of Beginnings are under our protection. What semblance of civilization would we have left if we presented the babies of that village as free prey for the wild predators of the digital world?"
There was more silence as Tawna shared her story. That she too was a killer. This did even less to enamor herself and Taru with those present.
"A dirty murderer defending a dirty baby-killer!" one digimon in the audience cried out. "Shakamon, execute the both of them! The world will be a better place-"
"SILENCE!" Shakamon commanded, and the angry talk faded, but the glares remained.
"NO!!!!" a new voice screamed from the digimon in the audience. The crowd parted and gave way to a tiny blue and white DemiVeemon, who made his way up to face Shakamon. "Please... I wanna say something" he said.
"Very well, you may speak" Shakamon said. DemiVeemon turned and faced those gathered, took a deep breath, and spoke.
"I... knew Nyaromon" he said. "Back in our previous lives, as a Plotmon and Veemon, we lived in a village on the Network Plains. But... war came and destroyed the village, and us. We both woke up a few months ago in the Village of Beginnings, and we were so glad to see each other again. We were going to go to Rosewood once we evolved to Rookie... I... even wanted to marry her one day. And then..." he looked straight at Taru. "You arrived".
He was shaking with rage and emotion as he spoke. Even if he was just an In-Training, the despair and anger in his voice was evident.
"I... I thought Biomon would be able to bring her back" he said. "That's what you were saying, right, doctor? If a digimon volunteers and consents to giving up their data... the operation's more successful, right?"
"That aligns with my findings, yes" Biomon replied.
"Then... if Meicoomon didn't mean to eat her... she wouldn't want to keep it would she?" he asked. "Please, this can all be put right again if you just volunteer for the procedure". It seemed logical, right?
"I will give you the opportunity to reconsider this" Shakamon said. "This is not simply something you can say 'thanks but no thanks' to. What this Meicoomon has done is an affront to every civilized digimon in the digital world. As I imagine would be the same that applies to humans in the human world, if one murdered a baby human. Biomon has offered a treatment she claims has a chance of saving both Meicoomon and Nyaromon. If this treatment did not happen, I would have no choice but to order Meicoomon's destruction so that we can then extract what is left of Nyaromon from her remains. Biomon, are you capable of that?".
"I'm afraid this method would be less successful" Biomon stated. "This method only has a 50% success rate in re-forming the egg of the prey".
"No..." DemiVeemon whimpered, then turned to the Meicoomon. "Please... I beg you, please accept the treatment! I don't want you to get destroyed, but I don't want to lose Nyaromon either... please!" he pleaded, tears resuming rolling out of his scarlet eyes.
"That does not justify her actions" Shakamon replied. "Eggs and babies that live the Village of Beginnings are under our protection. What semblance of civilization would we have left if we presented the babies of that village as free prey for the wild predators of the digital world?"

"SILENCE!" Shakamon commanded, and the angry talk faded, but the glares remained.
"A habit it may be, but it is a habit that has brought suffering and pain to others, therefore it must be accounted for" Shakamon stated. It seemed unlikely that the procedure would take place. Biomon flexed her syringe-like fingers with impatience.
Then all of a sudden, there was a new development.
"NO!!!!" a new voice screamed from the digimon in the audience. The crowd parted and gave way to a tiny blue and white DemiVeemon, who made his way up to face Shakamon. "Please... I wanna say something" he said.
