Izzy had been staring at his hands for nearly three hours. Sora had gotten up and dressed herself. She wanted to comfort Izzy, but what do you say to someone who had just discovered they have super powers? She just sat there, watching Izzy as he sat motionless. Finally he looked up at Sora, "What am I?"

Sora was glad Izzy was finally speaking, although he couldn't have asked her a more difficult question. But she knew the answer. "You're a kind, sweet, loving boy Izzy, you and I both know that."

"No I'm not." Izzy replied quietly. "Boys don't fly. Boys don't shoot energy bolts. Boys don't defeat super-powered beings."

"You're still kind, sweet, and loving. We know that for a fact. You saved me from Metaletemon. You've been in danger yourself numerous times, but when I was in danger you found the power within you to save me."

A smile crept across Izzy's face. "You know what, you're right. When you where in peril, I realized I had to do something, anything. That's when that feeling came over me. I surmise that, I love you Sora. That's what activated my powers."

Sora got up and smiled at Izzy. She walked over and hugged Izzy. "I love you too, Izzy."

Izzy and Sora had cleaned up and now sat together on the hillside, watching the sunset. Izzy was happy in a way he's never felt before. Even with all the insanity going about in the digital world, he was happy. He never fit in, never had any real close friends, but now he felt like he belonged somewhere. He turned and smiled at Sora, who returned the gesture. It seemed no matter what happened, nothing could go wrong.

Suddenly, a dark voice suddenly came from the skies above them "Ah I've been looking for you, my friends."

Their gaze went upwards, and Devimon flew down and landed between them. Izzy put himself in front on Sora, hoping his power would kick in again. He summoned up his courage and spoke to Devimon. "Listen you, just go back from where you came from. Don't get me acrimonious! I can delete you all over again." Izzy hoped that Devimon didn't here the quivering in his voice.

"I believe that." Devimon nodded. "I saw what you did to Metaletemon. He may be an idiot, but he is more powerful than I am." Devimon held up his hands in a mocking gesture. "Anyway I do not wish to battle you, I merely wish to talk.

Sora spoke up from behind Izzy. "Well we don't!"

Devimon cast an evil glare to the young girl. "I did not ask you. My business is with the one called Izzy."

"Well I wish to converse either. Our last conversation mainly consisted of you telling us how you want us destroyed." Izzy angrily replied.

A smile flashed on Devimon's face. "If I had known who you where truly where, I would not have attempted to harm you. Far from it, I would have had you join me."

Izzy actually laughed at this. "And why do I elicit special attention?"

"Simple," Devimon paused a moment for the drama, "Izzy, I am your father."

Izzy and Sora where both left speechless for almost a minute. Sora spoke first. "You've seen The Empire Strikes Back one too many times."

"I know not what your insane babbling is about," Devimon stared at Sora again. "But I do know I speak the truth."

Izzy stuttered out, "Your more insane than I originally hypothesized!"

"Really?" Devimon turned back to Izzy. "Let me explain your history. You where adopted when you where a young child. Your original parents died in a car crash and you where raised by their cousins. You never fit in as a child, feeling you where different. You are exceptionally talented with computers, and can instantly read huge lines of codes and understand them."

Izzy's mouth was wide open in speechless wonder. Devimon continued, "You see, several years ago you mother and I where sent as scouts by Piedmon to your world. We took the forms of humans in order to mask our appearance and avoid attention. During our stay, you mother and I copulated. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that on your world, the young our carried inside of the female, instead of being hatched from eggs. You where born, but there where complications. Since we where not in the digiworld when you where born, you had a human appearance. We tried to send you back, but we could not since your program was incompatible. I can only guess your digivice made it possible for you to return to your true home. Because we could not bring you back, we found suitable parents. Using my hypnotism, I convinced you adoptive parents that we where their cousins. We staged the phony accident shortly after. In fact, the portal we left in allowed that Koromon and Parrotmon to escape into your world. That was when Gennai and his friends scanned you and the other digidestined. And the rest is as we say, is history." Another laugh sparked form Devimon. "How ironic that my own son turns out to be one of the digidestined! How truly ironic!"

The rational part of Izzy's brain found that the story made sense, but is emotions prevailed. "You're lying, you bastard!"

A slight scowl appeared on Devimon's. "I assure you I am not. How else would I know your history in such detail? How else would you have powers far beyond that of mortal men? And we left a reminder just in case we found some way to bring our son back to the digital world. Remove your gloves and hold out you hands."

Izzy, still not sure why he was listening to Devimon, removed his gloves and held his hand out. He almost never removed his gloves for anyone, because of that birthmark. The birthmark He held his palm towards Devimon, looking at the orange bat-shaped mark on the back of his hand. His gaze then turned towards Devimon's chest. The shape of the insignia on Devimon, was EXACTLY the same! A thousand emotions, questions and feelings hit Izzy at once, but he just looked at Devimon, a stunned expression on his face. He realized that Devimon was not lying, that everything he said was the truth.

Devimon smiled once again. "You see my child? We tattooed you with the mark of Devimon, so that if we ever met again we would be able to prove who we are." Izzy still stood silent, digesting all the information that has happened. "I know you have many questions that you want answered. Come with me Izzy, I shall tell you all you need to know. Your mother, your past, and your future."

Sora, who was standing next to Izzy the whole time, grabbed Izzy's arm. "I don't care how you think you know Izzy, but he would never leave with the likes of you!"

"Yes, I will"

"Izzy, are you nuts! That Devimon! He tried to kill us all on File Island!" Sora was next to hysterics.

Izzy looked at Sora and held her hands. "I know that it sounds illogical. But I need to know. I'm sorry." Izzy turned back towards Devimon. "I am ready to go."

Devimon wrapped his arm around Izzy and with a great flap of his wings, flew into the skies towards Gatomon's palace. Sora was still screaming, "IZZY! You don't know what you're doing!" But her voice was carried away by the wind as father and son flew off.
