"Urgh... what the ****, I feel like ****..." I muttered as I tried to move my body, but froze when I felt my wrists tied together by some sort of gooey material. I wiggled a bit and found my wrists were also pinned to my back. My chest was tight, as if something was squeezing air out of me. My feet were stuck too.
Had I been kidnapped? I remembered waiting for Uju at Kitamachi, then something covered my mouth and black.
"Boko, Pump, Baku?" I called out while struggling to get up, only for something to pin me down as a familiar voice sang, "You've got guts, I'll tell you that!"
"Sistermon Ciel!" My eyes widened, but then I flinched as a searing pain cut through my forehead. "Ugh... What the..."
She giggled. "Coming along was very reckless, which honestly makes you a perfect fit for the group! Kidnapping you was a bit over the top, though! Uju, I know you're whipped for Akashiro but couldn't you have chosen a person who DIDN'T murder Digimon and humans?"
"Stop playing around, Ciel. Pull him to his feet already," Akira called out.
"Okay~" she lugged me to my feet, and now I could see. The four remaining members of Perfectio. Amato was watching me with a frown as he leaned on the wall with Hagurumon X glaring at me. Pandora looked out of the window with a dazed look on her face as she patted Ghostmon on the head. RobinHoodmon still had a hateful scowl aimed my way. Akira was smirking, and Uju?
I had just seen them yesterday... how did they look so sick...? Bated breathing, red eyes filled with rage. Something about their gaze scared me. It had been less than a day and already the mark was glowing so brightly... Had Uju exerted all of their self-restraint against the Code yesterday, to save all those people, to... have a talk with me? Like how Shiramon had exerted all her willpower to save the other Sin Code Digimon before she tried to kill herself and Aliana to hold Malicemon back?
How far were they willing to go for this? Just what did Perfectio truly want?
"I'm half expecting your friends to come busting in here," Hagurumon X spoke.
"I told them I wanted to go at this alone. I didn't expect you all to be here, but it's perfect for what I wanted to do in this fight."
"You act as if we were planning on having a fight in the first place." Sistermon Ciel giggled.
"What do you me- guys!" My eyes widened when I saw my partners in a cage, hanging over a pool of purple mist. "Wait, that's!!"
"We found it thanks to your friends and the Dark Mist issue," Akira laughed. "Somehow we opened a gateway to the Dark Ocean. It seems to enhance the effects of the Codes so we took what we could get."
"What?! You don't know what you're doing!!" I struggled. "There are things you shouldn't touch, Akira!"
"If it's to change the world, if it's to make them acknowledge me, I'll gladly destroy my body over and over."
"You don't have to work for their ****ing approval! They don't deserve it! Not after what they put us through!"
"Us?! You got lucky! You were chosen to be the Sacrifice, and I wasn't! They cast me aside because of my schizophrenia! You didn't have any mental illnesses whatso-****ing-ever, so stop acting as if you get it!"
I had to hold myself back from spouting it out. Right now, I was severely close to losing, but if I played my cards right...
I inhaled. "You have hostages, but from Ciel's words... You want to recruit me into Perfectio, don't you? With five members down, you're getting desperate. Why else would you lure me to Kitamachi then have me brought here?"
