A/N: This is really short, but I figured it made more sense for it to be its own chapter than to possibly combine it with another completely different scene.
Not much later, Impmon wandered around the city from the rooftops, trying to sense the Infermon being used as surveillance.
After a couple of hours, he finally sensed its presence, and jumped down in front of it.
"Hey, you," he said, "Well, the person who talks through you. Can I ask you something?"
The Infermon's eyes glowed, and the child-like voice came through it, "Are you affiliated with those humans?"
Impmon shook his head, "No. I don't have a human partner, and I hate humans."
"Hmm."
"I end up seeing those humans a lot because they always show up whenever digimon appear, if that's what you're wondering," Impmon said.
"Hmm. I suppose you seem trustworthy enough. What do you want to ask?"
"What are you gathering digimon for? Like, when you find the one you're looking for, what are you going to do?"
"The set of digimon we're gathering is a specific set of seven, known as the Demon Lords. I'm Lucemon, the Demon Lord of Pride, and I'm the one who is mainly in charge of gathering the other six. Once we've gathered all seven, our combined powers should be enough to take over the digital world."
"Oh," Impmon said. He wasn't entirely sure what to think about taking over the digital world, but it didn't really sound too bad. Assuming he was the one they were looking for, of course.
"Well," Impmon said after some hesitation, "I heard the humans saying that my mega form is Beelzemon. That's the one you're looking for, right?"
The Infermon- well, Lucemon- was silent for a moment.
"That's why that human cut off the rookie part of the evolution chart she showed me," Lucemon said, "And that's why there was no trace of Beelzemon anywhere. It all makes sense now!"
Impmon shrugged, "I don't really know how it all works, though; just because I can become Beelzemon in theory doesn't mean I'm the one, right?"
"No," Lucemon said, "I think it does. We never came across another Impmon, either, so that points to it being you."
"Well, what now?"
"The next step is for you to go to the digital world, but I'm not entirely sure how that can be done."
"How did you get here?"
"There are some locations in the digital world that are like 'cracks' in the separation between the two worlds, and it's possible to slip through them. I haven't seen any equivalent here, though."
"Oh," Impmon said, "So I guess we need to figure out how to get to the digital world?"
"Yes. But I'm confident that either some kind of 'crack' will eventually appear in this world, or that myself and the other Demon Lords can figure something out."
The Infermon's eyes stopped glowing, and Impmon hesitated for a second, before walking away.
