Summary: Although social technology advocates have been calling for the death of email for several years, it's still the dominant digital channel by which people in organizations communicate and collaborate. The role of email in our work lives should be reduced, however, both because of its own inefficiencies and the increased availability of better tools. Effective leadership is the key to…Continue

As far as I'm concerned, every professional can benefit from having a Twitter account. That doesn't mean we all have to care what people are having for lunch, what hashtags are trending, or what celebrities are doing, thinking, or selling. It also doesn't mean that we have to share (or overshare) the banalities of our own lives, amass hundreds or thousands of followers, or strive for a high…Continue

Summary: Many people are critical of the notion of social media experts, falsely claiming they don't exist – and by extension implying they aren't necessary. These criticisms, combined with the pervasiveness, low cost, and relative ease of use of social technologies, lead many people to assume (also falsely) that DIY and "give it to the intern" approaches are effective strategies for…Continue

OK, this isn't exactly cute, but… well, see for yourselves.
And here I was, thinking it was CATS you had to watch out for.
This video's all over YouTube, FileCabinet, LiveJournal blogs, etc. I got the link from Mon Schmoop Cherie, though. (Um, for clarity, this is Theo, filling in on a Friday morning. Heh.) So if somebody can point me to the original source, I'll happily credit 'em. Happy Friday!
OK, #1, WHO names their bun "Teaspoon" 'cause it should be OUTLAWED for being TOO PROSH.
#2, Please note the just about to close wonky eye action, and perfect paw parallellism:
And finally, #3: Will you please look at the complete lack of eyes (Where are they!) and schnozzle protrusion + buck teef combo on this newspaper-snuggling bun.
Bonk-shu…. Bonk-shu (B for when a bun is doing a honk-shu) Nice job, Ibis!

Watch out, People. It could happen to you.
Tiny bunnies may attempt to snorgle your face clean off—you've got to be ready.
Barbara B. says Rabbit.org has even more evidence of reverse-snorgling. Beware.
Heck, it's about time we made this an official Rule of Cuteness. What took so long? I mean, this one is so obvy. This one is also known as "Princess Di" eyes, since she was so good at it. Of course this rule should also be known as "puppy-dog eyes"—same deal.
Accordin' to sender-inner Sydney G., "John Bailey" the bun is "ready to go public" with this photo. LOL!

I honestly don't know what I think of this product just yet I havent gotten out of the tub but lushs description said "lay back into a cozy white blanket of creamy, buttery froth" which is not at all what I'm seeing my bath is completely clear like I never used a bath bomb in it. The only reminisce it leaves is a slight sparkly film which is not noticeable unless you look very closely. I am getting out of the tub right now and I will let you my thoughts of if it helped my skin or not I was just reviewing the overall presentation first! I just got out of the tub and although the smell is delightful it left an oily feeling residue on my skin which is not pleasant I will wait 15 minutes to see if it absorbs into my skin at all and I will be back ( so far I will not be repurchasing this product sadly this is a product I am not at all pleased with and upset and wasted my money) I DO NOT LIKE THIS PRODUCT WHATSOEVER!! The only reasons gave if a 1 point as an overall rating it had a delightful smell but a scent that is gone in 20 minutes is not worth is especially if I have sit in an oily tub and to get out and feel like you have a greasy oily sticky film on your skin. I would not recommend u purchase this product but I do recommend avobath, star girl, fizz banger, and sex bomb (don't be hesitated by the name). Don't get me wrong I am an absolute lushaholic there products are amazing and the only skincare products I usd but they unfortunately are a tad pricey so when I waste my money on a un-useful product it's upsetting. Thank you for those who read my review.

My first bathbomb from LUSH. Compared to the other bathballs I saw, butterball is the most boring looking of them all, but my goal wasnt to bathe in rainbows, I want a nice and simple moisturizing bath. Yes, Im boring, I know. I bought this, dropped it into my bath water, oh my it fizzes! That was fun to see. And very soon, too soon, the fizzing stopped.....I find the size a bit small(or maybe I have a big tub?). Does not have a special color that effects the water. It does smells like soft powder, I love the smell of powder! Leaves my skin lightly moisturized. I find this bathbomb decent and would maybe buy this again, next time I will use two!

This one's vanilla, which I love. It's smaller and less exciting than some other ones but the scent is so relaxing. Sometimes I feel like the huge ones are a waste.

My favourite bathbomb ever!!!! Even though it isn't the biggest or most attractive from the bunch it leaves your skin so smooth and moisturised and it smells incredible!! It is a definite must have!

This is, in my opinion, the BEST bath bomb Lush has to offer. Sure, it's small, and basically colorless and about the cheapest bomb they make but don't let that fool you. For dry winter skin it doesn't get any better than the Butterball! While Butterball fizzes in the tub you'll see actual chunks of cocoa butter that slowly melt into your bath water and provide amazing moisture to the skin. The scent of this bomb is nice and soft, it isn't overpowering like some Lush scents are. Even though Butterball doesn't put on a great show with lots of color like some of their bombs, it is by far my favorite. My skin always feels amazing after use and I don't even buy any of the other bombs anymore. I can't recommend Butterball enough!

But Don't be fooled by this plain and tiny ball because it packed full of cocoa butter! That's right, this bath bomb has tiny chunks of Cocoa butter that melt in your bath water, leaving the water soft and your skin even softer. It doesn't leave any colour to your water so it's great if you want to mix it in with a bright bubble bar.
I tend to break my bath bomb into 1/2 or 1/4 depending on, if I'm going to make a bath cocktail.
I tend to use, 1/2 or 1/4 of a bubble bar, 1/2 or 1/4 of a bath melt and 1/2 or 1/4 of a bath bomb ... And Ta-Da!!! I have a lush bath cocktail!! I don't use whole bars or bombs because the combination of all the scents gets too overwhelming.
Ps: I store my bath bubble bars, bath bombs and bath melts inside ziplock backs (I re-use the bags) and then place all my lush goodies in large plastic storage containers.

Fantastic bath bomb that smells like sugar cookies! Doesn't do much for color obviously but smells amazing and is super moisturizing and gentle. Great base bath bomb to make a Lush cocktail out of! Definitely repurchasing!

This is a good product to use in a cocktail with a bubble bar, as it adds moisture and scent without overwhelming things. I don't think I would use it alone - I like a bit more colour and show in my bath bombs and this one doesn't quite get there. But it pairs well with a bubble bar so I'll probably continue to buy it.

stiction(n.) Short for static friction, a condition in which a hard disk drive's read/write heads become stuck to the disk��s platters with enough strength to keep the platters from spinning, resulting in hard drive failure. When a computer is turned off, its hard drive's read/write heads park on the platter's landing zones. Under normal circumstances, the heads will lift off the platter when the computer's hard drive is activated and the platters rotate.

Monsters and Legends is part of the fabulous debut lineup of titles from Flying Eye, a kids' imprint spun out of London's NoBrow (they're the publishers of recently reviewed books like Welcome to Your Awesome Robot and Akissi). The book, written by Davide Cali and illustrated by Garbiella Giandelli, is a fascinating reference work for kids 7 and up about the curious origins of the monsters of the popular imagination. The book recounts the odd history of stories of mermaids, chupacabras, cyclopses, dragons, the Loch Ness Monster, and other cryptozoology favorites. It's a great balance between fascination with monsters and lore and a skeptical inquiry into how widespread beliefs can be overturned by evidence and rational inquiry -- a real "magic of reality" book.
The illustrations in this book represent a range of engaging styles, and they bring it to life for even younger readers. My five year old and I spent several bedtimes on this, flipping through the pages, and stopping when a picture caught her eye. I had to interpret the text for her -- the language was often over her head -- but the stories absolutely grabbed her and it's become a family favorite.
As with other Flying Eye titles, this one is out in the UK right now and coming to the US on June 11 (here's a pre-order link). As a one-time monster kid who's doing his best to raise another one, this one gets my unreserved stamp of approval.

I picked up John Kenn Mortensen's More Post-It Monsters at a comic-show in London and it's terrific. Mortensen draws beautiful and grotesque line-art monsters on yellow sticky notes, and, as with the first collection of these, Sticky Monsters, More Post-It Monsters reproduces them with a minimum of text (apart from a brief and charming intro from China Mieville) and other distractions. It's just about 80 pages' worth of Gorey-esque illustrations that'll excite and reward your brain's monster-center.
Baxter worked as a butler for an eccentric oil baron in 1898. His father was a Krampus who emigrated from Bavaria in the 1860's and married a school teacher from Piscataway, New Jersey. Baxter grew up to be erudite and purposeful. he had a fascination with the wonders of the world particularly insects. During the warmer months on his days off he would wander through the town marveling at nature.
Peter Stanford reviews Matt Kaplan's new book, an investigation into what's so intriguing about spooky, scary beasties of the night: Medusa's Gaze and Vampire's Bite: the Science of Monsters.
What he has grasped is that, however much the rational and sane majority airily dismiss tales of fire-breathing dragons, strange creatures from outer space or beasts that inhabit the depths, there is still buried in most of us that reflex that can't help, on a dark night, walking along a lonely country lane, wondering, "What if there's something out there?" And when we do, the collective cultural baggage of these tales of ghosts, ghouls and griffins is usually sufficient to make us put our hands over our eyes to block out what may just be lurking out there. But, then, we still peep.

Zack sez, "Retronaut has a collection of the gloriously gross Topps Ugly Stickers from 1965. Just in time for the holidays!"
These were my favorite thing in the world when I was a kid. Marc Lieberman and I used to go and collect empty beer-bottles left behind by teenagers under the bleachers at Vanier Collegiate, then cash them in at Brewer's Retail at the Peanut Plaza for nickels, which we'd spend on these at the Mac's Milk. My bedroom door was covered in them. When my parents bought a new house and I had to leave my bedroom, I had to leave the door behind. I never recovered.

Artist Brian Ewing has produced a limited edition colorway print of his anatomical Frankenstein's monster poster. I love this work -- I gave my wife one of his bubblegum colorways of the Bride of Frankenstein for our anniversary, and I've just put the Frankenstein on my Xmas list (don't buy 'em all, OK?).
Ewing really went to town documenting the production process, with lots of interim shots linked from the post below.
Swan Galleries is auctioning off a collection of 139 old movie posters, including a lot of wonderful, monstrous film posters from around the world, in a collection called "Monsters with Maidens." The auction runs to Dec 18, and though there's plenty of very high-priced items, there are some bargains to be had, too.
Where did the European werewolf come from and why did this particular mythology become so powerful that we're still telling stories about it today?
In a fascinating talk recorded at Skepticon 5 last month, Deborah Hyde discusses the history of lycanthropy and its various roles in European society. Lycanthropy was more than one thing, Hyde explains. It functioned as a legitimate medical diagnosis — usually denoting some kind of psychotic break. It served as a placeholder to explain anything particularly horrific — like the case of a French serial killer. And, probably most importantly, lycanthropy went hand-in-hand with witchcraft as part of the Inquisition.
Hyde is the editor of The Skeptic magazine and she blogs about the cultural history of belief in the supernatural. As part of this talk, she's tracked down cases of werewolf trials in the 16th and 17th centuries and attempted to understand why people were charged with lycanthropy, what connected those cases to one another, and the role the trials played in the history of religious liberty. Great stuff!
The fabulous Singularity & Co bookstore (where they find out-of-print sf classics, clear the rights to them, and bring them back as CC-licensed books) is finally selling its beautiful "Boom Tee" online, designed by Wesley Allsbrook. I saw this at NY Comic Con and wanted desperately to blog it then -- glad to see it online at last!
Fables creator Bill Willingham continues his impossible run of prolific, high-quality, highly varied stories based on the idea that all the fables, myths and stories of the world are secretly true, and that they all live together, hidden among the real, "mundy" world. The hardcover Werewolves tells the back-story of Bibgy Wolf -- his time as a crack Nazi-hunting guerrilla in the dark forests of Germany. This past comes back to haunt him when he discovers a midwestern town populated entirely by werewolves that have been created by a beautiful, ruthless Nazi scientist who isolated a serum from blood that Bigby left behind when he helped foil a Nazi attempt to revive Frankenstein's monster to fight on their side.
Werewolves draws on the likes of EC Comics' Two-Fisted Tales and other hyper-violent war comics, with plenty of gory decapitations, ruthless executions, suicides, immolations, and tough talk. It's just the right kind of story for Bigby, who's one of the best characters from Fables, which has lots of terrific characters to choose from. The book could conceivably stand alone -- it has its own complete storyline -- but it's much richer in the context of the wider Fables universe.
Perpetual Kid sells a $4.50 cartoon vampire ketchup-bottle lid called "Count Ketchup Spread." Affix it and squeeze the bottle, and the ketchup drips out of his fangs. There's also a mustard version: it's an alien head that oozes mustard out of its mouth. Barfstard!
Our hard plastic Count Ketchup Spread Head is a universal cap size that fits most standard upright ketchup bottles and measures 1.75 inches long x 2.5 inches wide x 1 inch deep. To keep your condiments fresh and to prevent contamination, use the original cap for storage.
COUNT KETCHUP SPREAD HEAD (Thanks, Fipi Lele!)
A fantastic vintage ad set from the ever-reliable Man Writing Slash: this one, a collection of old ads for fright masks and associated novelties.
We've covered Jason Edmiston's genius monster illos here before, but this one deserves special attention. His "Monster Mash" comes from an alternate universe where Doctor Frankenstein has gotten a little enthusiastic with the needle. It's ghoulishly delightful. Spotted today at New York Comic-Con. $60 for a giclee print.
Dr. Frankenstein has been working on a little project in his free time. Much like Voltron, the big Universal 4 come together to make the ultimate creature. Mwah-ha-ha-haa!!!
Limited edition of 100, signed and numbered 17" x 22" giclee print, with archival inks on acid-free paper.
Drew sez, "Lego has released a Haunted House set with vampire figures, zombie chef, Frankenstein butler, and glow in the dark ghosts. It's not a traditional Lego set as it's made to look in a state of disrepair with cracked windows, crumbling foundation and broken shutters. 2000 pieces make it a substantial build intended for older, more advanced builders."
Above is Jason Forthofer Brick Show review of the 2000+ piece set.

Etsy seller Tracy Widdess's "Brutal Knitting" project features a number of truly remarkable soft, knitted monster masks.

Greg sez, "Check out this collection of all-new flash fiction from some huge names -- Neil Gaiman, Lev Grossman, Scott Westerfeld, Michael Moorcock, Gene Wolfe, N.K Jemisin, IO9 contributing editor Ann VanderMeer, and tons more -- based around a fantastically monstrous illustration by Las Vegas artist Jeremy Zerfoss. It's fun, quick to browse through, combines big genre names, cool artwork, and... monsters!"
These really are great fun! Here's Lev Grossman's "The Solar Medusa":
This appears to be a happy sun, the kind that an innocent child might draw amid fluffy white clouds in a bright blue sky. Do not be fooled. This is not a happy sun, and it does not wish you well. The Solar Medusa is a floating, translucent gasbag that cleverly interposes itself between you and the real sun, lining up its outline so that when it is in position its presence is nearly undetectable to the naked eye. Once the medusa's prey—that's you—is blinded by the glare, it lowers its long, golden tentacles—what might be termed its 'rays'—and draws you up into its warm, sunny embrace. The process of digestion takes weeks. You won't enjoy it.

Giulio Camuffo has announced a new pet project he's been working on for Wayland: Termistor. The open-source Termistor is a drop-down, tabbed, terminal for Wayland.
Termistor is written in Qt5 and uses libtsm. As part of this drop-down, tabbed terminal work he also came up with a draft of a new protocol extension for handling the drop-down portion and implemented it via a new "Nuclear" Weston shell plug-in.
Those wanting to check out the new Termistor project can do so via reading the
mailing list announcement

Based on search engine reports, there is a disturbing amount of people that actually try to see if there is a Great Khali sex tape floating around somewhere on the internet. The former world heavyweight champion, who is rumored to be making a return to WWE soon, may have one in his personal life, but there are none online. Considering his popularity in India, the existence of a sex tape would become one of the bigger news stories overseas.
March 24, 2015
Great Khali school
Previously, it was reported that the Great Khali was interested in opening up a wrestling school in India. Apparently, he has already accomplished that. The former World Heavyweight Champion revealed to the media that the academy is already up and running. Khali already has some students working out at his facility. The 42 year old also mentioned that WWE wanted him to send them three performers a year for NXT tryouts.
March 10, 2015
Great Khali return
According to the Great Khali himself, a return to WWE is in the works. He told the media in India that he has been working hard on recovering from surgery to his right leg. He states that he is now healthy enough to get back in the ring. Some believe that he might just be working the public, though, as he stated that he will some day make a return at Wrestlemania and defeat the Undertaker at the pay per view, which is highly unlikely.
March 10, 2015
Great Khali to TNA
There is said to be some interest from TNA in regards to signing the Great Khali to a contract. The company recently signed a massive television deal in India that will keep them on the air until the year 2022. A lot of that had to do with the fact that they now have Mahabali Shera on the roster. Since the network wants Dixie Carter to bring even more talent from their country on board, there is a chance that Khali could be used for his name value.
February 28, 2015
Great Khali replacement
While it is not as big of a priority as regaining the fan base in Mexico, WWE is said to be looking for someone to replace the Great Khali as the draw for fans in India. No words on what the numbers over there have looked like since the former world heavyweight champion was released, but management still views that market as a lucrative one. The potential from the market is a big reason why TNA recently signed Mahabali Shera.
February 13, 2015
Great Khali wrestling school
Even before he was released by WWE, there were talks of the Great Khali opening up a wrestling school in India. Those talks are heating up again as of late. Media reports from that country are stating that the move is close to happening. The school is slated to be open in the city of Punjab. Since the region is still a valued demographic for promotions in the United States, there is a very good chance that someone will eventually be signed from there.

Looks like you have hit multiple forums with multiple requests for all kinds of free plants!
Sorry for the bad news, but it is actually against Gardenweb Terms of Service to make such a request. If you have something to trade, check out the Plant Exchange Forum. If you don't have something to trade, you can look for free offers but should not be asking for them on this website.

I have an Image being loaded dynamically and being added to my larger application.
After the image is loaded, I then want to grab a bitmap of the display for printing purposes.
The issue is that I can't find any events that are guaranteed to be triggered after the image is rendered on the screen.
FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE sounds closest on paper but doesn't appear to do the trick.
To test, I'm adding a breakpoint to the end of a handler triggered by the event, and seeing whether the image is on screen when the breakpoint is triggered.
I'm being forced to use flex 3.3.

Author's notes: Another update! Please enjoy!
HappytheExceed: I would love to answer that, but they would be spoilers. So you'll have to wait until further down the track.
darkmachines: Thanks for all your comments so far.
Blonde-Eko: Brianna and Willow will be dealt with more in coming chapters. You've intrigued regarding Amaterasu; we shall have to brainstorm together, me thinks.
Chapter 6: Genesis of Dark Evolution
"Mother! Father!" Willow called as she entered the house. "I'm home! Sorry for being late~"
A good-natured, deep laugh sounded from the kitchen. It was her father. "You're late," he teased in English, smiling at his daughter's luck. "You got your eye on that poor Kaneko boy, eh?" Sean Perry, a police officer when on duty, slyly winked at her.
Willow reddened with embarrassment and indignation. "Father! He's not poor! Sora's just... lonely," she explained, feeling pity and compassion for him.
Her father waved a hand at her explanation. "Ah, don't mind my teasing. You know I like poking fun," Sean replied, his apology sounding half-hearted.
"It's alright," Willow smiled back, accepting his request for forgiveness. She hugged her father. "Where's Mother?"
Sean reached into the back pocket of his jeans, pulled out his comb and ran it slowly through his shoulder-length red bangs. "She's at work. They called her in on overtime. Seems a few of the other nursing staff have picked up a virus." He rolled his eyes exaggeratedly. "I hope they have a couple of back-up staff working with her. I'll file a complaint if she's doing it all by herself."
Willow winced in sympathy for the other nurses and hoped they were on shift at the hospital with her mother. Exhaustion from the overly long day finally hit her, quietening her swiftly. "Willow, I would like to talk to you..." Sean glanced at his daughter through the locks of his fringe. "Is something troubling you?"
"Father," she answered, looking at him. "Something tells me the Chosen have a tough time ahead of them."
She would hate Fate when she learned she was right.
The next morning, every parent got a call from the school informing them that school was cancelled for the day, due to an unknown amount of damage from a 'black, winged dragon'. The Chosen all thought the same thing: Digimon attack. Phone calls on mobiles ensued and Shizuka and Gazimon volunteered to check the situation out.
So here they were, on the edge of the destroyed block, watching a lone child battle the dragon with a Renamon.
The large black, winged dragon had four crimson eyes, tattered wings and a tail with three separate points.
"Now, Renamon! Kick this dragon's behind!" Hiroaki commanded.
Renamon ran towards the larger opponent. "As you wish, Hiroaki," he answered.
The winged Digimon attacked as well. "Crimson Claw!"
"Power Paw!"
The dragon slashed with his red claws, while Renamon kicked and punched his foe. Both attacks broke through and each Digimon was hit by the other's move. Shizuka took the time to look up both Digimon's information on her Digivice.
"The black dragon is Devidramon. He's a Champion level, Virus-attribute, dark Digimon. His attacks are Crimson Claw, Red Eyes and Demonic Gale. The smaller kitsune is Renamon. He's a Rookie level, Data-attribute, nature Digimon. His attacks are Power Paw, Diamond Storm," Shizuka read the information on her Digivice and then put it away.
"Hiroaki, Devidramon is feral! Any ideas?" Renamon quietly questioned his partner.
"We won't give up! Keep fighting, Renamon! Don't let it win!" Hiroaki declared proudly and confidently, which motivated Renamon to continue fighting this evil black dragon.
"Crimson Claw!"
"Power Paw!"
Again, the attacks collided and Shizuka and Gazimon watched from the sidelines. Unfortunately, as the Crimson Claw cancelled out, Devidramon flew into the air and attempted to jump Hiroaki. But Renamon saw it coming and he proceeded to kick him ferociously in the head, making him crash into the building. Shizuka gasped when she saw this brave and chivalrous deed.
Renamon ran to Hiroaki. "Are you unhurt?" he asked in a worried voice.
"Yes. I'm fine. Thank you, little buddy. You're awesome! But it's not over yet!" Hiroaki told his partner. Then he saw Devidramon prying himself out of the building and preparing himself for another attack.
"Red Eyes!" He unleashed an evil power from his eerie eyes.
Renamon acted quickly and dodged to evade the technique. But Devidramon's tail whipped around and caught Hiroaki! "Hiroaki!" Renamon called.
"Oh no!" Shizuka and Gazimon exclaimed quietly.
Unfortunately, a now helpless Hiroaki was trapped in the clutches of Devidramon's strong, limber tail. Renamon ran over to him. "Let go of him!" Renamon dug his claws into Devidramon's tail and tried to pry it off of Hiroaki, but Devidramon, seeing this noble and valiant attempt, decided to turn the tables on him. He threw Hiroaki at Renamon, causing the both of them to fly into a tree. Both of them were injured.
Hiroaki got himself up first and helped Renamon get back on his feet. "Are you alright, Renamon?" The young boy asked in a kind but worried voice.
Renamon laid his brown eyes on his concerned partner. "I am fine. Thank you for worrying about me, but you don't need to anymore," Renamon explained. Unfortunately, both of them were both cornered and injured.
Devidramon stood before them and prepared to launch another attack. "Red Eyes!" The same evil power came again. Hiroaki and Renamon didn't know what was to come after this.
They weren't expecting to be helped.
"Gazimon, go now!"
"Electric Stun Blast!" Electricity arced through the air, striking Devidramon's arm, which resulted in the mighty dragon flinching and roaring in pain. Hiroaki, Renamon and Devidramon were all surprised.
Not wanting to stand by and let the worst happen to Hiroaki and Renamon anymore, Shizuka finally caved and decided to appear beside them. Hiroaki's eyes widened, his mouth fell open, and the sight before him left him flabbergasted. "Wha! Sh-Shizuka? Wha... what are you doing here?" The boy managed to croak out, sounding very confused.
Shizuka turned with her arms crossed. "I was going to ask you that!" She exclaimed.
"Shizuka, we have to defeat this thing!" Gazimon rasped.
"Let's! Gazimon! Give it your all!" Shizuka announced. Her partner stormed in on Devidramon.
"Electric Stun Blast!" Gazimon got a good hit on Devidramon, resulting in another roar of pain. This gave him enough time to let Hiroaki and Renamon regain their composure.
"Since you two are injured, I suggest you let us take care of this," Shizuka told the younger boy.
Hiroaki and Renamon glanced at each other and then back at the older teenager. "Alright, show me what you've got!" Hiroaki challenged.
Shizuka wordlessly gave Gazimon an instruction to round up Devidramon. Unfortunately, the attempt backfired.
"Crimson Claw!"
Shizuka ran from the attack, just in time. She felt bad for being cowardly, but there was no way she was going to let herself get slashed by those wickedly long claws. Gazimon attacked Devidramon again, but his attack was warded off in an instant.
"How can this be happening? It worked before!" Gazimon exclaimed.
"This thing's as tough as nails!" Hiroaki snapped back. "If you wanna beat him, then really hit hard!"
"Thanks for not telling us in time!" Shizuka countered sarcastically, not happy at the lack of notice. She didn't notice Devidramon inching his arm forward for a sneaky slash on her leg. She screamed in pain, which got Gazimon's attention.
"Shizuka!" Gazimon leaped onto Devidramon's arm and began madly clawing and biting the higher-evolved Digimon in revenge. Shizuka was behind him, injured and in pain. Nonetheless, Gazimon and Devidramon duked it out real good. Gazimon was not happy. In fact, he was positively livid and kept clawing and biting Devidramon non-stop.
"How dare you hurt my partner like that?! You'll get no mercy!" Gazimon snarled vehemently as he scratched Devidramon relentlessly. But then, he noticed Renamon walking towards Shizuka.
"You aren't too injured, are you?" The male Renamon questioned, sounding concerned.
"N-No. Thanks. Could you help me up?" Shizuka replied.
"I will do that," Renamon confirmed formally. He began to help Shizuka get back onto her feet.
Unfortunately, Devidramon saw this as a good opportunity and glided over to Shizuka. "Crimson Claw!"
Renamon and Shizuka braced themselves for an attack. But they didn't feel anything. They slowly opened their eyes after a few seconds. What Shizuka saw made her gasp in shock. Gazimon was injured, lying on the ground in front of her, unconscious. His back bled digital blood on the black bitumen. Shizuka paid no attention to that, however. "Gazimon, no!" She cried out, running to her unconscious partner in tears.
Seeing what had happened, Hiroaki and Renamon decided to act. "You're dead!" The nine-year-old shouted in an outspoken manner, driven by a fierce need to protect the older girl even though she wasn't part of his team, as he grabbed onto Devidramon's still outstretched arm, not caring about the fact he could die here and now.
"Power Paw!" Suddenly, Renamon began to rapidly punch and kick Devidramon, dealing some massive damage. His fists and feet were like a blur, making small gusts of wind around the Digimon. After one more kick, Devidramon was sent crashing back and hit the ground hard. Devidramon quickly got back up and prepared to slice into the yellow kitsune in a second attempt, but Renamon spaced out his arms and a bunch of crystals appeared around him.
This is it, Hiroaki thought excitedly. Renamon's special attack!
"Diamond Storm!" Renamon shot thousands of crystal shards at Devidramon's face. They struck home.
Gazimon finally regained consciousness and Shizuka saw this. "Gazimon! Thank God you're alive!" Shizuka embraced her injured Digimon partner.
Gazimon managed a weak, pervy laugh. "I'm so glad... I made it in time," he muttered.
"Tell me, please Gazimon. Why did you save me?" Shizuka asked. She would have a difficult time in believing what came out of the hedonistic, pervert Virus-attribute's mouth.
"I saved you... because... you're my partner. The only partner I'll ever have. It's my duty to protect you, no matter what. No one could ever take your place. I... would never ask for anyone different," Gazimon rasped out.
Shizuka closed her eyes and hugged him again. "Gazimon... I'm so happy," she murmured.
"Let me ask you... Shizuka... why didn't you challenge my attribute?" Gazimon asked.
Gazimon wasn't going to believe what came out of Shizuka's mouth. The pair stared at each other, though Hiroaki and Renamon now struggled to control the rogue Devidramon.
"Sick 'im, Renamon!" Hiroaki told him, attempting to stop the black, four-eyed dragon from breaking away.
"You will return!" Renamon commanded strongly in a mature voice, leaping onto Devidramon to subdue him. But it didn't work.
"It's because... I..." Shizuka stopped for a moment and then continued, finishing it as the both of them closed their eyes. "... Believed you were stronger than the stereotype."
Just then, Shizuka's Digivice began to glow and Devidramon finally broke away from Renamon's clutches, even though he paused at the tan light enveloping Gazimon. Shizuka had to back away, despite her leg injury, but she didn't care. She was shocked that her partner, Gazimon, was finally digivolving!
"Gazimon digivolve to..." The tan light enveloped Gazimon and he grew bigger and bigger.. until out came not Gazimon, but a very different creature! This Digimon looked like a large tortoise with a spiked rock-like back. He was tan in colour. "... Tortomon!"
The awe-inspiring, lithe tortoise appeared between a shocked Devidramon and an overjoyed Shizuka. Shizuka was so awestruck, she didn't move. Neither did Devidramon or the younger boy and his Renamon. Then, Tortomon turned to look at Shizuka. To the average human, Tortomon appeared highly unpredictable. But to Shizuka, he didn't look one bit like a loose cannon. With the way Shizuka's eyes sparkled and with the way her smile glowed just in Tortomon's presence, she felt she was the happiest person on the planet now that her partner had evolved.
"Shizuka, your dedication in me has helped me digivolve and I thank you for that," Tortomon spoke in a raspy, yet sharply rich voice. Shizuka remained silent.
But Devidramon didn't. "Demonic Gale!" He flapped his wings furiously, sending sharp bursts of gale-like wind towards them.
Tortomon didn't even face his opponent, moving forward a bit to protect Shizuka from the dark breeze. When it had passed, he mounted an attack of his own. "Strong Carapace!" He shot a barrage of rocks from his shell, each of them hitting dead on. One of the rocks hit Devidramon's head and Tortomon immediately took a step back.
Devidramon was pissed off and Tortomon knew this, so he faced the angry winged dragon. "You who has the audacity to attack my partner without mercy... If you wish to show none, then you will receive none! It's time to send you back to the Digital World! Grand Dash-Spinning Attack combo!" He lunged towards his foe, running speedily, before striking Devidramon with one front leg. Tortomon then withdrew into his shell and spun while tackling the black dragon. The Devidramon must have been a weak individual, something very odd for its species, as the combination attack from Tortomon was all it took for Devidramon to fall unconscious.
A Digital Gate opened, pulling the unconscious Champion level in, before it closed again.
Tortomon turned to face his partner. "Are you alright?" he rasped.
"I'm fine. Thanks for asking," Shizuka responded.
He stepped towards her. "I may have defeated Devidramon, but it was you who helped me digivolve. Your unrelenting dedication in me brought me to this form and I am honoured to receive it," Tortomon clarified. He then de-digivolved back into Gazimon, who was still a tad injured.
Ring ring ring ring
"I'll get it!" Saki called out to her parents as she ran for the phone. The twins had gone home for lunch after wandering around for a while and Saki was the closest to the phone. "Hello?"
"Saki! It's me, Shizuka!"
"Hi, Shizuka! What's up?"
"We're going to the Digital World, remember? We're waiting for you at the park!"
"Oh! The Digital World? I forgot, even though I organized it with Hiroshi."
"It's okay, don't worry. You've still got time to get here. Kenshin and I are the only ones here at the moment."
"Hiroshi isn't there, either?"
"Not yet. He'll probably be here soon, though."
"Thanks for the reminder. I can't believe I forgot!"
"Don't worry about it! Everyone forgets things. It happens to all of us."
"Okay, I'll be there soon! Bye!" Saki hung up the phone and called to Hisao and Candlemon, while Floramon watched her partner with some concern on her face.
Saki told her parents that she and Hisao were going to the park for a bit. They had no objection at their daughter's request and let them go. She took Hisao by the hand and led him outside. Once out of the house, the twins took off running. Floramon and Candlemon followed from behind. After a short while, they finally arrived at the park. Shizuka, Kenshin and their Digimon, Gazimon and Wizardmon, were sitting on a bench.
"Shizuka, Kenshin! Gazimon, Wizardmon!" Saki exclaimed as she approached them. Hisao nodded briefly at Shizuka. She returned it with a nod of her own.
You've arrived. Welcome, Wizardmon greeted her telepathically. Gazimon just waved a clawed hand.
"Glad you're here!" Shizuka answered, before looking sideways at her cousin. He was peeking at her through his strawberry-blonde locks, eyes flicking up and down nervously.
The older girl sighed in exasperation and gave him a firm nudge in the ribs. His violet eyes shot over to her, their wideness all but saying to her: Why did you do that? Shizuka motioned with her head in Saki's direction and he got the hint. She failed to suppress a small chuckle.
Pretty soon, Hiroshi arrived with Bearmon and the Digital Gate they were waiting for materialized. Kenshin placed an arm around Saki, Shizuka reluctantly stepped in beside Hisao and Hiroshi mentally confirmed everyone was present.
"Right," the dirty-blonde began nonchalantly. "Our Digimon seem to know we will encounter some kind of test when we arrive. I want to be sure that, despite whatever happens, we will all remain a team after this is over." He glanced at each of his team-mates and was met with a strong show of support. "Let's go then."
Kenshin and Saki stepped into the Gate first. They were followed by Shizuka and Hisao and Hiroshi entered last. The Digimon came after their humans had gone through and then the Gate closed.
Having decided the previous night that they would go to the Digital World, so the war to save Odaiba could take place in the Digimons' home world as well, the Chosen exited the Digital Gate and landed rather heavily and painfully on the ground. Hisao had just enough time to look up and see that they had fallen beside an angular, black humanoid Digimon. It had mirrors on its arms and chest. That Digimon was the last thing he saw before each of them were swallowed up by darkness, but one was immediately rejected and spat back out for reasons unknown to him.
"Time for your tests~" A batty voice piped up in his ear, before a burst of disturbed laughter was heard all around.
The blackness slowly faded from around Hisao and Candlemon and they blinked to let their eyes adjust to the light. Candlemon saw a Wizardmon in front of them and bristled at once, able to tell somehow where this one's loyalties were. But the evil mage didn't give them time to think or react. "Terror Illusion!"
They gasped and quickly took a defensive stance, looking around cautiously and waiting for the oncoming attack. But it never came. Instead, the surroundings suddenly changed. The 'room' they were held in, if you could call it a room, disappeared and they were quickly replaced by images of the day the accident happened.
"Wha...? What's going on?" Hisao demanded. The street was how he remembered it before his brother's death. There was a small cluster of native trees in their front garden, along with multiple beds of stunning, colourful flowers.
The images soon changed. It was Akira who kicked the soccer ball too far and Saki raced to retrieve it. Akira's agonized scream could be heard as Saki's small figure was run over by the out-of-control 18 wheeler... Saki being cradled gently by a sobbing Akira.
Hisao's eyes widened in terror as he slowly turned in a full circle; each way he looked, he was greeted by the deathly images of his twin's passing. "... No... No... No... No... Isn't happening..." he chanted to himself, but the cracks were already appearing.
The blood slowly stopped flowing, leaving Saki's pallid body in Akira's trembling hands, her eyes already glassy. His younger self came up beside his older brother and touched her hair one last time, as if in tribute to the life she could have had.
Hisao gasped as he backed up a bit and his mental state continued to fracture. "No!" he wailed. "It never happened like this! What are you doing?!" The visions remained, however. Each person who had died since that day, whether Hisao knew them or not, floated towards him like a haunting ghost. Saki, women, children, men... They kept on coming at every angle and Hisao tried in vain to stop them by batting them away.
Hisao had finally had enough. He sat down and curled into a ball, sobbing brokenly. It was his partner's broken state, due to the illusions, that caused the normal light of digivolution to be tainted grey.
"Candlemon dark digivolve to..." The Digimon in Candlemon's place was a large, bipedal lizard covered in dark fire. With the exception of the metal plating on his snout, he was entirely of black flames. "... DarkLizardmon!"
Hisao glanced up then, tears still running down his face. He'd realized that the energy from his partner seemed to be off.
DarkLizardmon glared around, before finding his target. "Dread Fire!" he snarled viciously, attacking the Wizardmon with a bullet of black fire. It rocketed towards the evil mage, the rage from the dark digivolution suppressing conscious thought.
A dark chuckle escaped the Wizardmon's mouth as his 'data' dissipated from the move. Hisao narrowed his eyes at this and the realization hit him. He was in an illusion. Did that mean the others were being tested as well? He hummed, but before he could do anything else, the noise caught DarkLizardmon's attention and he whirled around. Hisao didn't have time to react as DarkLizardmon was in front of him in an instant and grabbed him by the throat.
Hisao screamed in agony at the dark fire that was burning his skin, burning him alive. Long moments pass, before DarkLizardmon froze, his eyes widening in realization. He placed Hisao on the ground and yelled in despair himself, before the DarkLizardmon data blurred, apparently vanishing. A horrified Dorimon was left in his wake.
