Please... No more...

I...

don't want to...

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM

What's wrong?

Is he okay?

Talk about suspicious.

E-Excuse me?

If his stomach can rumble,
he's not dead.

I guess so.

Stew?

I guess I'm on my way to meet my maker

because three heartless people
wouldn't feed me some stew.

That was delicious! Thanks a bunch!

You're kidding!

We bought that food to feed Kyo
when he returns from Nirinso exhausted!

I wanted some, too, ya know!

Hey! You're supposed to stay hidden!

No need to fool me.
That's a Digimon, right?

Huh?

I'm an Owner, too.

Huh?

Say hello, Commandramon.

A Digimon?

A Commandramon. A Rookie Digimon.

By displaying the surrounding environment
on its body, it can camouflage itself.

Wow, ya know!

So anyhow, if you'll excuse us.

We're not just letting you leave!

Are you wanted?

No. No bounty poster at Maki's.

Then, you're a Cleaner?

That's personal info. I'd rather not say.

The stew was great. Thanks.

Gekkomon.

What are you...

We don't have the money for more food.
You get it, right?

Pull your weight if you want food.

A bet of hospitality, ya know.

Debt. You mean a debt.

We never did things like this.

Yeah.

What do we do...

from here?

Commandramon, do it!

Right.

I got this!

Listen...

at the very least, you should...

What are you talking about!
We're in this together!

What's that, ya know?

Haruomi! Never say that again!

Sorry.

What's up?

Are you fighting, ya know?

It's nothing.

Tell me.

How come you're so poor
if you're Cleaners?

We don't turn over captured In-Training
Digimon to the Ministry.

So we don't get paid in full.

Huh? Why?

We don't delete Digimon.

That's our rule.

Ya know!

Commandramon, stay here with these guys.

Huh?!

Crystal Cannon!

What the...?!

They found me.

Haruomi Sone. There you are.

Tactics?!

You. Tomoro Tenma, was it?

Have you learned to control your emotions?

And are you still Naito's lapdog?!

What's going on?!

What a shabby home.

Sorry if it doesn't suit you.

Hotaruko...

Makoto.

Hand those two over.

We won't say it again! Hand them over!

-No way.
-Ya know!

I never did return the favor
for what you did to Rhamphomon!

Evade!

-Commandramon!
-Right!

Tylomon!

Okay!

Commandramon!

Let go of me!

-Tactical retreat!
-Hey!

Why'd you abandon Commandramon?!

Answer me, Haruomi!

We're on a first-name basis?

They won't risk deleting Commandramon.

Their orders are to bring us both back.

What?

Then you two are...

Yeah. We're former Tactics.

So why are you fugitives?

We wanted to be free.

We got tired of doing
all those shady jobs.

Shady jobs?

our hands got dirty.

Can't you wash them?

You're hilarious!

So, I wanna ask a favor.

Could you help us get our freedom?

First we get Commandramon back.

Wait, what?

I'm not saying to do it for free.

You have money?

I said I've been doing shady jobs.
It pays a lot.

Didn't we find you starving?

My money's hidden.

When this is done, I'll show you where.

I see. We could buy more food
for another stew.

I'm begging you, Tomoro.

Okay. Let's talk strategy.

So you two will do diversion and delay.

-Got it.
-I understand.

I'm counting on you.

You really want to be free
with Commandramon?

Of course I do, Tomoro.

I'm gonna get some air.

What's with him?

You two.

Listen to me...

Tomoro!

S-Stop it! What are you doing?!

Are you worried about Haruomi?

Do you think we can really trust him?

Something doesn't feel right.

But he saved you, ya know?

Huh?

If you'd gone out there...

In here.

What's this about making a deal?

He wants to be free with Commandramon.
Will you let him?

You want freedom?

Why do you do stupid things
by acting emotionally?

We should just follow our orders.

Right?

Just follow orders?
Don't you have feelings of your own?!

Are you stupid?

What?

Of course everybody has feelings.

You just control them.

Letting your emotions control you
isn't cool.

It's what stupid people do.

Tomoro Tenma, I mean people like you.

Stop calling people stupid.

After him!

Gekkomon!

Here goes!

Pound the beat!

Gekkomon Evolution!

Armalizamon!

You won't escape.

Nice, Wolvermon!

It's not over yet!

Oh no you don't!

Whoops! Oh no!

Neutron Laser!

Dummy!

They're gone, ya know!

Behind us!

Armalizamon!

What?

That wasn't Sone?

Rhamphomon! Don't let them escape!

Crystal Rain!

It was just a warning shot.

I know it was!

Haruomi...

You...!

You used Commandramon as a shield?!

And now I'm alone.

What?

With Commandramon gone,
I'm no longer an Owner.

I don't have to do any more shady jobs!

I'm free! I've gained my freedom!

You...

What are you thinking?!

Stop it! What are you doing?!
Raito! Let go of me!

What are you doing?!

Our orders are to retrieve him.

Commandramon's gone!

There's no point
in taking just me, is there?!

The job's done, Rhamphomon.

-Roger.
-Are you listening?!

I've had it with you!

Neutron Blade!

I already know that attack!
I'm a genius, you know!

Tomoro, I got this!

Death Roll Press!

That was close.

I didn't need your help!

We're leaving.

Honestly...

That was a vintage shirt.

You can come out now.

Commandramon?!

Ya know!

What's going on?!

Back there...

Listen to me...

I'll use Commandramon's
camo ability to trick them.

That's not the plan...

...we discussed, ya know!

You two can't act to save your lives.

Tricking an enemy
starts with tricking an ally.

Huh?

But the plan was to have Tactics give up
and for them both to be free.

Why did they...?

No.

This is what Haruomi intended
from the start.

It was all... so I could...

be free.

Haruomi?

Commandramon.

Use your camo ability to escape.

Leave it to me.

No matter what happens,
don't lift your camo.

Got it?

So he put on that cheesy show

to make you angry.

It was to convince them...

that I'd really been deleted.

He knows what'll happen
if he's taken back to the Tactics.

He knows, and yet he still...

Haruomi?!

That's not fair, Haruomi!

We'll see each other again, right?

Their e-Pulse is...

All we can do now...

is respect Haruomi's wishes.

Haruomi...

Sir Klay wanted
to put them up for the auction.

Losing Commandramon was a massive failure.

This is your last chance.

Yes, sir!

Where am I going?

Do you believe in hell?

Like there's a worse hell than here?
