Please note; I have never watched Digimon and thus have only the slightest idea at all about any of the characters or their settings. Thus. Expect stupidity.
First off;
"This gets Davis' rival of another noodle-co sneaky ideas of how to sieze control."
...The fuck is a noodle-co? I honestly have zero idea what that is or what it's supposed to be or anything. It it like some sort of pool noodle teammate? Is it made of impact foam? Does it float? How does a rival fit into it?
I may find out soon. God help me.

It opens with a wedding between Kari and TK. Okay. Is "TK" some name for Davis or something?
Nope. Turns out Davis never made it. Did he get stuck in the Digital World? Obviously the answer is easy to see with a bit of extrapolation - it's said right in the opener, Davis is dead. Only he's not. Because we can rebuild him. We have the technology.
But we don't have the money, so we won't yet. Instead, thinly veiled foreshadowing!
A bit of filler, nothing really remarkable, still no outward signs he's dead, so Schroedinger's Davis is in full effect.
So there's this other couple named Yolei and Ken who are also married. I'mma guess they also be main characters, but how're they gonna factor in? One of them his rival?
Okay. So Davis isn't actually dead, it just turns out that he's like the King of Burgers right now. Well, king of noodle-carts, but apparently it's gone worldwide and now sells things in stores, so I guess good on him maybe.
"she secretly had a feeling Yolei and Ken were hiding something"
In the words of the wise Torgue Flexington, "IS IT JUST ME OR DOES IT SEEM LIKE HE'S GONNA BETRAY THE F*CK OUTTA YOU?" Not sure if it'll be Yolei or Ken but I am calling this.
MEANWHILE, IN THE LEGION OF DOOM...
So yeah Davis is alive it turns out. He's still a dead man walking, because the Tarot cards said so. Anyways, he's got nothing to do, and no reason to be at the wedding. And he's in a bar. Drinking. GEE I WONDER WHY HE'S THERE OR HOW HE'S GOING TO DIE.
He's also got a buddy called Veemon, guessing that's probably his Digimon. Because "mon".
So Davis is still in love with Kari. Even though Kari and TK are married. Okay I can at least get that, but considering this is a punishment fic (as ascribed on the cover) welcome to Red Flag.
And who the hell knows it turns out Yolei and Ken know about him. Whodathunk. But hey, it's yet to be seen whether or not they're gonna "BETRAY THE F*CK OUTTA YOU" so we'll need to keep watch. Leaning towards a "yes", though.
Davis stays in the bar all night and gets so shitfaced he starts to hallucinate. Dude, if you're so drunk that Ellie looks like she's got Moxxi's curves, you need to go to the hospital, because alcohol poisoning is a serious deal.
Aaaaaaand here comes our little Test of Faith and her name is unknown. She's pretty, and sober. Davis is drunk. This can only end well. She introduces herself and Davis acts like your typical rough-and-tough no-nonsense hero with a DRAK AND TARUBLED PASHT.
She openly asks for sex and Davis responds with screaming. Which gets the attention of everyone in the bar. Apparently Veemon knows that feel bro because for some reason he liked Gatomon, who is with Patamon. Probably gonna go ahead and guess that Gatomon is Kari's and Patamon is TK's. Because really.
It's only now that I look up and see the chapter name is 'Drunken Depressed Davis'. One point for alliteration and that's all you get.
Upon smacking Davis with a big, fat dose of reality, Davis parries the hit with his gut and promptly vomits. The bartender, because bartenders always draw the line at vomit, kicks Davis out of the bar. He's dead in a minute, I can tell.
It takes Davis two minutes to get to the door. He is that drunk. How is he not dead yet?
He promptly falls to his knees and starts puking all over the road, like that one scene from Team America where the protag vomits more puke than I'm fairly sure he has blood in his body. Veemon stays back because Davis is obviously a crock'a'shit he isn't touching with a ten foot pole, and then there's a sudden rumbling sound.
It's a car. It's headed for Davis.
The driver, obviously, slams on the brakes, but there isn't much room, so Davis is going to get a face full of bumper. That doesn't particularly seem lethal, but he's also likely gonna get ran over, so-
...
...WHAT?
WHAT?
WHAT IN the...
...alright. So. Davis got hit by the car, so fucking hard, that the engine decided now was a good time to fufill its dream of becoming a Paveway smart bomb. Its imitation was evidently spot-on.
And by that I mean "the engine exploded". Davis and the driver are unconscious, having somehow survived... nope, not breathing. Dammit Veemon, haven't you heard of cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
CPR?
----
Taking a dip into the author's note, he apologizes for the GRIMDARK but says he warned us. He did. He promptly expresses disbelief that he has to pair one character up with another, ending with, quote unquote, "I really hate that dude".
...Is this what it's like to be looking at one side of a ship war? Because if it is, I'm scared.
Okay. The only damage I've suffered is damage to the mind, and my mind got blown.
So. Combustion engines spontaneously detonated, two characters got married, and some dude died. Thus the prologue for Cyborg Davis ends.
Dear lord, this thing is how many chapters?
