Chapter 4
"So, what do we do now?" I asked Craig, still a little shaken by what he had told me. How could something this odd happen?
"We have to correct my mistake. There are only two ways to do that: One is to destroy Gotsumon, and I," I could tell by the look on Ken's face that the thought had crossed his mind. Davis looked a little inspired, too. "The other is to destroy Bountymon."
"How will destroying Bountymon solve the problem?" I asked. There didn't seem to be any logic in it, how was he responsible.
"Because, Bountymon only forms when there is a paradox created in time itself. I know because I've dealt with him before. You see, Azulongmon gave us both our power, and each of us has the power to altar destiny. However, Bountymon can be reborn if he's destroyed, I can't. When he's destroyed, all of his power will transfer to me, allowing me to altar the mistake easily. If Bountymon destroyed me, he would get to keep that power."
"So, why hasn't he succeeded yet?" Davis asked.
"Because there's a rule: We aren't supposed to interact with each other at all. He's supposed to destroy powerful digimon that can't be dealt with otherwise, and I'm supposed to try changing the past for the better. Unfortunately, paradoxes allow him to sidestep this rule in the chaos."
"So, he can seek to claim your power?" I asked, twirling my hair absent- mindedly.
"Yeah, until I fix the mistake. Normally, I can just go back to change it, but Ripples are too complicated to pinpoint, you have to be in two places at once, two different Dimensions."
"Let's do it then, let's get Bountymon, and let's get my life back!" Ken cheered.
