A/N: For reminiscent-afterthought. Hope you enjoy some Beelzemon!


Ai didn't think that Beelzemon was scary, even with his drastic increase in height and his big blaster. Make said he looked cool, even. It didn't bother either of them in the slightest when Impmon would decide that he'd like to work out his wings a little.

They never complained. Those wings could be rather useful at times. Because, even if Beelzemon didn't frighten them, he certainly managed to do so to everyone else.

When Ai and her brother got bullied at the park by the big kids, it didn't take long for Beelzemon to come along and send them running.

When the ice-cream man wanted to make them pay more than a sundae should be worth, Beelzemon would suddenly appear and, seconds later, the sundae was on the house.

Not only that, but Beelzemon made sure that both of them were never late for school, no matter how much they slept in. And when the weather was bad and it wasn't ideal to fly, they could take the shortcuts through the alleys without worrying about being mugged or kidnapped.

Both Ai and Mako always made it a thing to make sure that Impmon never felt under appreciated, but it didn't make a difference. Impmon knew he was needed, and he was glad to help.
