Chocotrimon cursed loudly as he jumped up from his castle, the mass of chocolate now glowing green and turning grey.
"DAMN YOU! You petrified my castle!" He screeched, diving down towards Yolei and Hawkatrimon.
In his rage, he seemingly missed MagnaAngemon and TK lifting off.
"Weird... Why isn't he going for us? Didn't he absorb everyone else and read their memories?" TK said, confused, as Chocotrimon attacked Cody and Yolei.
"But the chocolate is all stone now. Maybe he's lost the link to the memories..."
"...Yikes. I hope the others don't mind us petrifying them to save them."
MagnaAngemon would have shrugged, but that would mean he would drop TK, who was not quite as small as the last time he had been carried like this.
"I expect most of them will be used to it by now..."
TK sighed.
"Whatever. I just hope Cody and Yolei stay safe down there while we save the others. If there's no chocolate for them to merge with I've no idea what'll happen."
While they flew to the roof, Yolei and Cody were fighting off Chocotrimon.
"The good news is, he's annoyed and that means he's not aiming well..." Hawkatrimon reported.
"The bad news is he keeps attacking and we can't get a shot in!" Ankylomon groaned.
Indeed, hails of chocolate blobs and purple beams were making a serious mess of everything.
"At least he hasn't tried to turn the castle back..." Yolei noted, and then Chocotrimon paused.
"Good idea! I'm not thinking right here. That castle and all my blobs have more plans in their heads and I can't get to them while they're stone! I wonder if you have other ideas..." He cackled, turning to face the castle.
"Great, you calmed him down! Nice work Yolei!" Hawkatrimon sighed, and tried to get ready to turn the castle back to stone as soon as it was chocolate... Only to get hit by purple beams first. With a crow of shock, he was chocolate, and so was the castle.
"He... he shot the beams out of his head! The back of his head!" Ankylomon protested.
"Of course, idiot, I'm made of chocolate. I can shoot through myself!" Chocotrimon squawked, and then began to expand even as the blob of what had been Hawkatrimon was flowing away.
"What the heck is he doi-" Yolei began, and was interrupted when Chocotrimon exploded in a mass of chocolate.
The spread of the blob coated everything around it- including Yolei, Cody, and Ankylomon. They were thrown to the ground, and gave muffled cries as they were swiftly absorbed. Chocotrimon reformed, with three blobs racing to the castle, had one halt. He stood in it, and growled.
"....There's another brat on my roof! Well, let's see how little TK and his..."
Chocotrimon paused.
"Oh, chocolate! Not one of THEM!" He squawked in terror.
As all this had happened below. MagnaAngemon and TK reached the roof... and a problem.
"Um... Are those... Chocolate eggs?" TK asked, in confusion as they neared the roof.
"...And they're not petrified. This might be bad... but if we land on the stone roof it won't absorb us and the eggs don't seem to be hatching." MagnaAngemon said as he set TK down.
"Good... Wait, you see that?"
"Yeah... I think that might be the best spot for me to use the Antidote..."
Carefully running past a small clump of eggs, the pair headed towards nine stone figures - Tai, Mimi, Joe, Izzy, Sora, Ken, Davis, and Kari. Each had their Digivices in their hands, also petrified.
Suddenly, the whole castle then glowed purple.
"TK! Look out!" MagnaAngemon cried, taking off and diving for the startled human as the wave of brown spread fast... too fast.
TK swore as the wave hit his feet...
...and went straight under them.
"Huh?! Why didn't I turn into... never mind, I'm not complaining." He sighed, and looked back at the distraction.
The statues of all the captured Digidestined did not look back at him.
"Wait. If they're chocolate now, then..." MangaAngemon realised.
"Oh. Uh..."
There was the sound of cracking. TK span around to see the eggs hatching, and blobs of caramel emerging.
"Crap..."
The sound of squelching from behind made him spin again. The statues were now moving.
"Double crap...."
MagnaAngemon then shouted a warning.
"TK! Your foot!"
He looked down.
He was sinking into the roof. The chocolate roof. The absorbing chocolate roof.
"Triple crap..." He groaned.
