Sorry it took so long for this chapter; sometimes, I've got to take breaks from writing, so I don't get too tired of doing it, because when that happens, the chapters aren't as good as they normally are.


"Thank you for letting me stay; I hope I wasn't too much of an inconvenience," IceDevimon said.

"Walk faster; my boss doesn't want you here much longer. To be honest, neither do I," Dinohyumon said.

"Well, I suppose that's only fair, seeing as how I'm a mass murderer."

"You're lucky you came to a normally neutral place; otherwise, you'd end up dead yourself."

"Yes, thank you for allowing me to continue living. There's so much more I'd like to do before I die."

"More like 'innocent Digimon I'd like to kill,' right?"

"Yes, that sounds a bit more like something I'd say. Hey, aren't those humans?"

"What if they are?"

"I'd like to meet them. It's not every day an ordinary Digimon like me gets to meet a human!" IceDevimon said excitedly. Dinohyumon snorted upon hearing the word ordinary. IceDevimon walked over to the Legendary Warriors, who were with Grizzlymon. "So, there really are humans in the Digital World. I'm honored," IceDevimon bowed. Grizzlymon eyed him suspiciously.

"IceDevimon?" Takuya asked nervously.

"Is there a problem?"

"You…don't know any of us?" Koji asked.

"Have we met before?"

"No, never mind, it must have been a different IceDevimon," Koji said.

"I apologize, but Angewomon doesn't want this Digimon in her fortress anymore, so I have to escort him out," Dinohyumon said.

"Well, that's too bad; I hope I have the honor of seeing you all again one day. By the way, were you the ones who took out the enormous Digimon I say you fighting?"

"That was René, but she not here," Takuya said.

"I'd like to…see that Digimon. Would that be a problem?"

"Angewomon is dealing with him; she's trying to drag him inside to get him out of the sun so the ice won't melt," Grizzlymon said.

"I thought IceRanamon's attack would keep him frozen forever," Takuya said.

"Well, something's wrong, because the ice is melting," Dinohyumon said.

"You mean the ice has melted," Angewomon interrupted. "He's still unconscious, but I think he might wake up at any moment."

"Would that be a problem?" IceDevimon asked.

"Of course it would! That Digimon wants the Fractal Code of every Digimon in here! Damn it, why did I let BlackWarGreymon take the little Water girl away?"

"Well, I believe I can handle this," IceDevimon said, walking outside just as Belphemon began to wake up. "βελπχεμον, δεν απαιτείστε εδώ άλλα."

"Wha…who are you?" Belphemon asked sleepily.

"uγεμονλ έχει όλα που χρειάζεται. Πρόκειται να επιστρέψετε σε τον αμέσως."

"Lucemon…? All right…I'll go…being here…takes effort…" Belphemon began to dig through the sand, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

"Was that the Ancient Language?" Angewomon asked.

"Yes; does it shock you that someone like me knows it?" IceDevimon asked.

"I knew the writing was left behind as Digicode, but I didn't know anybody could still speak it."

"What did you tell him?" Grizzlymon asked.

"Oh, I just told him to run away before I decided to fight him," IceDevimon said casually.

"He mentioned Lucemon, didn't he?"

"Oh, I just said I was as strong as Lucemon. Probably not true, but I just didn't want to fight him, so I scared him off."

"Well, I suppose I must thank you for defending my fortress. You may stay as long as you like," Angewomon said.

"Oh, no, I've already imposed enough," IceDevimon said modestly.

"All right, I'll cut the crap; I want to learn the Ancient Language."

"I'll be happy to help you. Why do you want to learn it?"

"As long as I'm in charge here, I want my soldiers and I to know as many useful different skills as possible, and the Ancient Language might come in handy some day."


"How long did Flamedramon say he'd be gone?" Sparrowmon asked.

"I'm not sure; I am sure he'll be back soon, though," Angemon said.

"It's been half a month and he still hasn't returned," Sparrowmon said sadly. Unknown to her and Angemon, the house was being watched by two Tyrannomon.

"Are you sure Flamedramon would be here?" one of the Tyrannomon asked.

"Not really, but we might as well check," the other Tyrannomon said.

"Why is Angewomon taking orders from that murderer?"

"I don't know, but from what I've heard, this Flamedramon is also a murderer, so I guess this is sort of a good thing."

"Remember, we're not supposed to kill him."

"Yeah, I know."

"That's a good thing to remember."

"Thank you, sir," both Tyrannomon said at once. After realizing they both said the same thing (about half a minute), they turned around to see who had said it, only to see fireballs heading straight for their faces.

"Took 'em long enough," Flamedramon muttered. "Come on, Etemon!"

"Can't we take another break?" Etemon asked wearily.

"No, we need to get out of here," Flamedramon said, opening the door of his old house.

"Flamedramon, you're back!" Sparrowmon said excitedly. "We were beginning to run out of food!"

"How did you know about this place, Flamedramon?" Angemon asked.

"This was my house before Betsumon and IceDevimon came and killed everyone I knew. We need to get out of here; we're being watched."
