This was really strange. Especially for what Omen was used to, even with the fact she was a Digimon. By all means, she should have insisted they abandon Yuichi, yet...Omen herself didn't feel like she could go through with that. After all, she and Tomi got figuratively abandoned, right?
Why make someone else go through what you went through?
What good does that serve? What does that serve period?
She decided to listen to Kanae once more, and...found herself growing more and more appalled at what she heard by the second. A powerful person that does bad things? A parent that hits their own child...?
"...Not a parent at all, then..."
It was good that Kanae had gotten Omen to be a bit less...agitated, because once Yuichi began to stir, she might have just called him a clown again. Instead, the wisp-like critter turned her head towards him and spoke simply. "Far from your father, Yuichi-san. I apologize for threatening to shove your shoe up your ass." But she'd honest to Yggdrasil do it again.
"Assuming Chad Thundersaur didn't give you a concussion...You're in my home world. Which is also in a computer somewhere. That's also not the human world. I was about to drag Kanae over to the nearest settlement I know of. You're free to come or stay."
No guilt can be shoved on her if she offered the choice, right?

Kanae stepped back as Omen addressed Yuichi. Almost anything anyone said to him would make him angry, so she wanted to stay as far back as possible. And if Yu-chan tried anything, she'd step in and help if it looked like Omen was in trouble. But oddly enough, as Yuichi got a bearing of his surroundings, and looked back to Omen as he listened, he nodded for a second.
"This is so stupid..." He muttered, but he stood up, holding his head. He lost his balance for a second, but stopped himself from falling. He crossed his arms and sighed. "Whatever. Just point us to whatever way gets us home, freak."
Okay, that was getting to be enough of that. "She's not a freak!" Kanae blurted out, stepping forward. "This is Omen-san, and she's willing to help us even though we're lost in another world! So be grateful, stupid Yu-chan!"
"Don't call me Yu-ch... Don't call me stupid!" The boy growled at the girl.
"If you're being mean and stupid then you're stupid Yu-chan!" Kanae fervently responded, sticking out her tongue like a mature 10-year-old would do.
"Whatever..." The boy responded, seemingly sucking in his frustration for the moment. He looked back to Omen. "Omen, was it. I'm Maeda Yuichi. Please take good care of us for the time being. But you're wrong about something." He glanced over towards Kanae, clenching his fists until his knuckles were white. His voice was quiet and calm, but the vitriol and frustration was evident. "I don't have a choice in the matter."

If the creature had eyebrows, she certainly would be lifting them. "...Your father is far from this world. If anything? I think you have more...choice here than anywhere else. Maybe. ...I don't know if your families are Chosen or not." The final part of that sentence was muttered. She was not all knowing.
Maybe not yet.
She also conveniently neglected to say that there was no going home. And there was no way she was going to wait for another Trailmon to kick this bastard onto, either. She turned in the direction that she knew Rosewood to lay in, and began to set out from there on. Whether the twins followed her or not, she was going to put her knowledge of the Server Woods to the test.

Though many other people, like Kanae, would find Omen's statement to be rather comforting, the boy Yuichi Maeda found himself grinding his teeth. "Who told you-" No... the answer was obvious. Nosy girl, sticking her nose in things that she shouldn't be involved in. Yuichi's issues with his father were certainly a complex issue. He certainly hated the man, but he was still family, and he was teaching him stuff, in his own cruel way.
After all, Yuichi was the toughest child in primary school! He wasn't some weak crybaby like Kanae who used to run crying to him because she got a scrapped knee, or if mean-looking dog got too close to them. And he knew just the right ways to hit people where it hurt the most, because he himself had experienced the pain. And hurting others was the only way Yuichi could get people to understand him, however cruel and twisted it may be.
But of course the eleven-year-old thug of a boy couldn't possibly convey these thoughts to another person.
But it didn't mean that there wasn't a creature that couldn't understand him. Yuichi thought he heard... laughter from somewhere. He looked around for a moment, but it didn't seem like anyone else could hear it. But the laughter faded, and so the boy simply it was some freakish wind in this freakish world.
"I don't know what you think you know about me, but you're mistaken if you think that I'm just some weakling coward that's gonna run away from all his problems like that little girl over there!" Yuichi pointed towards Kanae accusingly. "A man faces his problems head-on, and if he's too weak, he just toughens up until he can take them!"
That's right... in fact... it's her fault you're in this spot in the first place... I bet she didn't even stop to think about what would happen to YOU if she were to run off and disappear...
Suddenly, Yuichi's vision went dark as a surge of black overtook him. Thousands of black cubes of data began swarming his body, sinking into his organic flesh like it was made of tissue paper. And though the boy screamed in horror and surprise... it wasn't painful. Even as he felt his body creak and groan as he suddenly grew over a foot taller. He felt a weight on his head as his hair grew out, whitening in the process. And suddenly he felt his body covered in a black, chitinous armor covered in spikes of varying sizes.
You're just little Yu-chan, always following people's orders and doing what other people tell you to do! But... in this world with my... with YOUR power, you don't have to do what anyone says anymore!
"That's right..." Yuichi muttered as if he were in a trance. Though his form looked similar to that of a human adult (albeit in cosplay that was way too edgy to be taken seriously), his voice still resembled that of his eleven-year-old self. "No one can tell me what to do anymore... So no one can stop me anymore!" He began to laugh like a madman.
"Yu-chan...!?" Kanae stepped back, grasping Omen's tail if only to have a hand to hold. Her hand was shivering, and she looked down to Omen with a pleading gaze. "Wh-what's going on? What happened to Yu-chan!?"
"I keep telling you..." Yuichi's laughter was cut short as he began to speak in an exasperating voice. "...Not to call me Yu-chan!!!" He suddenly lunged forward, lashing out towards the girl with a black, razor-sharp claw. Kanae stood there frozen in fear as her uniform's sleeve suddenly gained four tears, one of which began to dye itself red at the edge of the frays.
Kanae was too shocked to feel the pain immediately, however. Her legs gave out as she fell to her knees, and at that point she felt it. She wasn't sure what to do or say, however. All the ten-year-old child could do at that point was let out a scream, letting out all the bottled up emotions of the last few seconds.

See, it would likely have been comforting if Omen had told that to literally anyone else outside of the single most overdramatic kid the girl had ever met. No, she briefly forgot that humans were odd and different and that they could get mad at practically anything. It would also have been extremely mean if Omen had said what she was thinking while Yuichi had made that speech. Yes, he probably was a weakling.
And a weakling can't really get strong to face their problems if they get killed by them. As extreme a leap that was...
...
Omen did not notice Yuichi seeming to fall into some kind of trance. If she were anybody else, she might have been able to note that was the telltale sign of a spirit making itself known, yet...that hadn't quite hit her. That time she met those really nice girls who also happened to have spirits didn't teach her how malevolent some could be. That, and she didn't know what the hell he just turned into.
"I-I don't kn-" Omen couldn't even finish -that- as she watched Yuichi lunge at Kanae and flat out claw her. There was horror for a brief moment, and... a surge of anger. Seeing red. "Look at me, I'm Yu-chan and I'm the manliest little bitch! All I do is yell at some girl that's smaller than me!" Omen found herself barking in Yu's voice, before she swapped back to her natural one.
"You're gonna pay for that."
That was all the warning Omen gave before she lunged for Yuichi, jumping and twirling mid-air to try raking the claw on her tail against the...Whatever Digimon that was. She was trying to subdue, to note!

Kanae's vision blurred as tears formed in her eyes from the sudden pain that she felt. She clutched her arm as the monster that took the place of Yu-chan towered over her. Shockingly, the ten-year old girl was helpless in the face of a literal monster attacking her.
But Omen made her move. She spun around to strike at whatever Yu-chan had become. And thankfully for Omen and Kanae, Yuichi had been too focused on the source of his hatred to care much for the little monster. He let out a groan of pain as he took a step back and rubbed his side.
But between her mimicry and her offensive spurt, she had succeeded and drawing the ire of the fragmented spirit of Obsidimon.
She knows nothing of what you've been through...
"Shut up! You don't know a damn thing about all the shit that I've had to put up with!" He yelled back. As tall and imposing as he was, the cracking voice of the preteen child was more than a little jarring for some.
Your fate was sealed from the moment she was born...
"Everything I've had to endure just because this bitch came into the world!" He swung down at the Wispmon for a simple backhand, as if to slap the little creature aside as punishment for getting in his way.
All the while Kanae continued to watch helplessly. It's not like there was anything she could do to help... right?
Stand up... do you really want to prove him right? That you're just a coward who can only run away from her problems?
"What... who is talking to me...?" She muttered aloud in a dazed state.

What's that? Mimicking someone and calling them a bitch in their own voice would end up drawing their ire? OF COURSE IT WOULD. This was literally Omen's plan the entire time, even if it was a hastily drawn up one in anger!
"I've been told ENOUGH!" Omen yelled back, before she was smacked back by a...uh. Backhand. Okay, that hurt less than Omen thought it would, but she was sent aside with a dull thud, and a meek "Oof!"
"So your solution's to make her life hell? Do you think she wanted all that to happen to you? Are you that much of a little bitch? Some 'man' you are." Goddamn, this was actually pissing her off more than useless, mouthy Calumon could.
Omen's tail would jab itself into the ground as it tried to pull the armless critter up, and once that arduous task was over and done with, she would pull the clawed appendage out, fire of the bubblegum pink variety beginning to gather in the palm of the tail.
"Do the world a favor, and catch this." Omen would hurl a ball of the flames for Yuichi, and...curiously? The ball changed shape midflight. Into a hand. With all fingers save the middle curled up.
How very eloquent. It went without saying that she could not really...Focus on much else. Like how Kanae was having a similar experience to what just happened to Yuichi.

Your parents... your former friend... if all you do is run away, you'll never be to obtain what you truly desire!
"I don't understand... what are you trying to tell me?" Kanae asked the strange voice. "All I can do is run away! It's not like I'm able to do anything in the first place!"
Omen's flaming bird struck true, crashing into Yuichi's armor-clad torso and forcing the edgy spirit fraction to let out a yelp of pain. But to Yuichi's surprise, he was able to take the attack with relative ease. It still hurt, to be sure, but Yuichi had been burned before, and this pain felt like nothing compared to that! Just how strong had Yuichi become?
But the boy realized that this little armless freak wouldn't stop mouthing off to him if he didn't do something about it. "Why don't you shut up!?" He yelled back with a grimace. "What kind of sick, lonely little freak do you have to be to hang around with a bunch of kids that you just met, huh? I don't need to hear a lecture from you! The only reason you're even here in the first place is because that bitch is only using you to get away from me! I bet she was planning to ditch you the very first second she could! It's not like she's actually your friend!"
And with that said, he lunged towards the little Wispmon, holding out a claw and swiping down at the little creature. And all Kanae could do was watch while she waited to see how her new friend would react.
All you've done is run away and wait for someone to help you your entire life. Aren't you getting tired of always being the victim?
"But... I can't... I'm too weak... I'm just a little kid, so... Maybe if I was a little older, then..."
Today, you're just a scared child. But if just wait around and cower, tomorrow you'll still be the same scared child! How long are you going to let that go on? Stand up and face your fears!
But the little girl remained paralyzed with fear.

It was today that Omen learnt that she could actually fight fire with fire. And watching the flames crash into the digimon that used to be Yuichi came with it's own...odd measure of satisfaction. There was a downside, though.
She was a rookie. So, she didn't really have much in the way of what you could call stopping power, if at all. "Have you ever heard of the concept of the good samaritan?" What was so weird about hanging out with people basically your age, anyways? It's not like she really had other people to turn to or anything.
Or family...
That took her off guard enough to allow Obsidimon to actually get a proper hit in with that attack. And here was where Omen realized that...that was not a rookie she was fighting. That was equivalent to a champion!
How else could one explain one move hurting that much? She threw her tail forward to try rending at Obsidimon once more, try getting him away from her!

Omen was fighting to protect Kanae... and it didn't look like she was winning. Whatever monster Yuichi had become was looking like it was overpowering the adorable little gremlin. But it wasn't like there was anything she could do. She felt so bad for Omen. She shouldn't be risking her life in order to protect her! Kanae took a deep breath to shout out, to convince the Wispmon to run away. But her voice wouldn't come. If Omen escaped, that meant that she'd be alone with Yu-chan. Kanae's stomach twisted into knots as she realized how despicable she was.
"I don't know why you're willing to stand up for a horrible person like her, but you're going to die a pathetic loser who got manipulated until the end!" Yuichi mocked, stepping back from Omen's attempts to push him away. Sure, if the little Digimon wanted a bit of distance, then Yuichi would be willing to give her some. After all, he couldn't use a little ability of his in such close quarters. A black scythe made of pure darkness appeared in his hands as he chuckled with a mad grin on his face.
If you continue to do nothing, you'll only prove your former friend correct, you know...
She met a friend that was willing to fight for her. Was willing to risk her life for her despite the fact that they barely knew each other. And Kanae wasn't able to do the same. But maybe if she could stand... she could run away. And if she was able to escape from here... maybe there was a chance that Omen could also get out alive? She doubted those chances.
But it was her only hope. Kanae was just a weak little girl, after all. She began to realize that she wasn't going to be free no matter what she did. She was just too weak to be free from anyone. Her father. Yu-chan. Chad Thundersaur. It didn't matter how far she ran, she would always be under someone's thumb, wasn't she?
Kanae. Stand up. You have the power to fight back! All you need to do is listen to me!
Despite the circumstances, Kanae began to weep in frustration and despair. No matter what, there was always going to be someone to tell her what to do. Be it her abusive bodyguard, her criminal father, and now this... stupid fucking voice in her head!
"Why can't anyone just let me do what I want!?" She yelled out at the top of her lungs, so loud that her words were barely intelligible. Her throat hurt as she stood up with tears down her face, but a look that very much indicated that she was pissed off. Her shout was enough to distract Yuichi from swinging down that big scythe of darkness down on Omen.
Hmhmhm... Very well. I will influence you no further. I'll simply trust you to make the right choice, partner...
Kanae's eyes began to glow with a white light, as a light coming from inside of her body began to creep through every orifice until she exploded into light.
"No... no... no... Damn you!!!" Yuichi yelled out, in an almost alien tone. He couldn't even look directly at the light, but it began to slowly fade away and reveal a new form.
This one humanoid in appearance, with long, silver hair tied into two ponytails that fell all the way down to her ankles. Various parts of her body were adorned with silver and white armor with bright white pearls that gave off their own light, as well as a semi-transparent veil that seemed to radiate a faint light as well. Pearlamon's deep, red eyes were glaring at Yuichi's monstrous form with a seething fury.
"I... don't care if you changed, or whatever!" Yuichi yelled at Kanae's new form. "If you try something I'm gonna beat you down so hard tha-" Before Yu-chan could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt the world around him shift in perspective. In an instant, he saw a flash of light as a white knuckle collided with his cheekbones and then found himself parallel to the ground. Yuichi didn't finish his sentence.
"Yuichi," Kanae coldly stated, filling in the silence. "I'm okay with you bullying me. But you have to stop hurting my friend."

Yeah, no. She was...definitely outmatched. Whatever had overcome Yuichi Maeda had been so potent with...sheer malice that it was way beyond anything Omen could fight against. Then again, fight was a rather generous term for an armless creature who could only flail her tail uselessly and throw fire.
Yeah.
Useless.
Why was she doing this? Kanae didn't really do much of anything for her in the short time that she had known Omen. Why was she risking her life for her? Against...this thing?
I don't know why you're willing to stand up for a horrible person like her, but you're going to die a pathetic loser who got manipulated until the end!
What answer existed to that? The Wispmon stared up at the now-scythe bearing Obsidimon, even as her voice dared to waver. "B-Because she was nice to me." She spoke. That was it. She was willing to risk her life for this girl for that singular reason. Just to ensure a genuinely kind soul (to Omen) wouldn't have to lose her life.
What happened next all went kind of fast to her. She heard a scream, saw a light. Kanae was gone and a Digimon had taken her place, another one that could not be recognized by Omen. And the newly digivolved creatu-...girl. That wasn't a creature. Yuichi was. This wasn't. Regardless, Kanae sucker-punched Yuichi hard enough to knock him over. Omen continued to scurry back.
At some point, anger had actually given way to fear. "W-Who...What are you?"

Yuichi was surprised at Kanae's sudden transformation. Omen was surprised at Kanae's sudden transformation. And lastly, Kanae was surprised by her sudden transformation. Omen asked her question and Kanae blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?" She asked, but something seemed strange Omen looked to be a bit shorter. Actually, everything seemed to be just a bit smaller to her. Did... something happen to her? She looked over her body in confusion, then began to flail about in shock.
"Wait! What happened to my body!?" She gasped, patting herself up and down. "I'm... older? And this outfit is... kinda ridiculous... don't you think?" She suddenly felt exposed as she flustered about, all the while Yuichi stood up giving the transformed Kanae a glare.
Kill her... destroy her before she can destroy you... end her existence until she...
All of a sudden Yuichi started punching himself in the forehead until the voice went away. "Shut up stupid voice! You're annoying me!"
"You..." He pointed to the Pearlamon with one hand while holding his bruised cheek with the other. "You're not allowed to just punch me like that! That's not how this works!"
"Shut up, stupid Yu-chan!" Kanae answered by sticking her tongue out at the edgy motherfucker. "I'm going to punch you again if you keep being mean to me and Omen!"
"But you're just a scaredy-cat! You're not allowed to fight back!"
"Then you're not allowed to hit anyone anymore!"
"I can too!" Yuichi balled his clawed hand into a fist and punched Kanae right in the kisser. She recoiled back, then threw a punch back. But Yuichi was prepared this time, and grabbed her wrist before it connected.
"Let go of me so I can punch you, stupid!" Kanae threw a punch with her other fist, but Yuichi caught that one as well. "No fair!"
"Serves you right!" Yuichi mocked, leaning in with a smug expression that didn't fit his monstrous form. "You're still a weakling that doesn't know to fight, so don't ever think about trying to hit me a-oomph!" Kanae interrupted the transformed boy and rammed her forehead right into the dark spirit's nose. "You bitch!" He roared in anger as he held his face. But he was quick to counterattack.
"Ow! Let go of my hair, Yu-chan!" "Stop calling me Yu-chan, and I'll think about it! Or else I'll... YOWCH! Did you seriously just bite me!?" "You deserved it, meaniehead!"
...There was a possibility that this might go on for a while if no one intervened.

Surprise all around that gave way into violence was the best way to describe what was going on right now. First Yuichi turned into that and then Kanae turned into the exact opposite. "...I-It's an outfit? I think it looks okay?" Omen had legitimately seen much worse on other Digimon. Angewomon and Kazemon to name a few...
She had very briefly forgotten about the fact that despite being a pretty damn impressive sucker punch, Pearlamon had not knocked Obsidimon out cold. Nope. Yet, his words...rang oddly. Not allowed to fight back?
That was bullshit! "...Yes she can! That's exactly how it works!" And yet, it was almost like Omen helped add fuel to the fire here. Pearlamon and Obsidimon started to just...duke it out. Slapping and hitting each other.
Honestly, it was a little dumb looking. And Omen didn't know of any way to intervene outside of the one way. So...The little critter stood up, and with a cry of "STOP IT!"?
Threw herself between the two. This was going to hurt.
A lot.

The children's bickering was getting so out of hand, that Omen had to be the mature one here and stop it. But she wasn't going to dissuade Yuichi from violence, or Kanae from fighting back. But still, Kanae couldn't let Omen get beaten up just because she wanted to help! If Kanae had this kind of weird power, then shouldn't she be able to stand up for herself for once? She didn't want to hide behind anyone anymore!
"Stay out of this before I make you legless and armless!" Yuichi turned to strike down the encroaching Wispmon with his claws, Kanae rushed in to punch the darkness-powered boy right in the face. It was certainly enough to distract him, and he spared the armless critter for the time being. His focus was on Kanae once more. Yuichi didn't fall over like last time, but it was clear the punch did a bit of damage. "Stop that!" He protested in anger. He readied his stance, and swung down on the light spirit. "You're not allowed to be this strong! You're supposed to be-"
"STOP TELLING ME WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE!!!" Kanae yelled out, swinging wildly at Yuichi. Their fists connected, and caused a shockwave of light and darkness spilling out between them. Both of the kids were thrown violently backward, reverting to their human forms and tumbling through the grassy terrain, unconscious.

Omen was, for some reason, ready this time. She leapt to avoid the bite of the creature's claws, but this did not stop the fight. What ultimately decided the fight were both Kanae and Yuichi daring to strike at each other, causing enough feedback that it reverted them both to two unconscious humans.
All of that happened pretty swiftly.
Omen would quickly run up to Kanae, trying to drag her, but...She couldn't. Like it or not, the Digimon was too weak to carry two unconscious humans. But...they were heading to Rosewood just before, right?
...
"Please don't wake up..." With those final words? Omen took off for Rosewood with a frantic call for help. If it would be answered? Great. She'd quickly lead whoever would help her back.
