"You know, you were pretty hard on him,"Venomon said, as he and Jareth made their way through the forest. I mean, MetalGarurumon IS a Mega. I think he handled himself pretty well."
There was a pause.
"Maybe you're right." Jareth ducked under a low branch.
"Why WERE you so hard on him? You were much nicer to Ann."
"Yeah, well, Ann's cute."
"Pardon?"
"You heard me."
"Are you telling me you were nicer to Ann just because she's a girl?"
"An exceptionally cute girl in gothic clothing."
Venomon blinked.
"The truth is, I'm not really happy with either of them. Why did Piedmon have to recruit more? I mean, aren't the two of us enough?"
"Well, the Digidestined--"
"Outnumber us, I know. But you're stronger than any of them. When you were all at the Champion level, you were the strongest one."
Venomon nodded. "Piedmon knew we'd be outnumbered, so he made me stronger than the average Digimon. But I guess we weren't strong enough." Venomon considered. "I suppose Aeromon and Enzoromon are just about as strong as I am."
Jareth sighed. "I never did play well with others. But I guess we're stuck with them, aren't we?"
"Yup."
The two walked in silence for a time.

"They call themselves the Dark Digidestined," Genni said. Tai, Kari, Izzy, Sora, and T.K. were all gathered in a circle around him as he explained the situation.
"Piedmon created them. He never took you seriously before, but now that he is the only Dark Master left, he has begun to fear for his life."
"Well, he'd better," Tai said.
"The Dark Digidestined are stronger than yours, with the possible exception of Angemon."
Patamon frowned. "No. DarkAngemon was too much for me."
"What about WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon?" Sora asked.
Genni turned to answer her. "Should the Dark Digidestined ever reach the Mega stage, I fear they will be able to defeat even yours. Fortunately, very few Digimon ever make it that far. In the last century, there could not have been more than twelve."
**********************************
Jareth grinned, ducking back behind his tree. He had heard everything. "You hear that, pal?" Jareth bent down on his knee so that he could look Venomon in the eye.
Venomon grinned back. "Sure did. So how can I go Mega?"
"Well, how did the Digidestined do it?"
"Piedmon said something about...a prophecy?"
"A prophecy? What prophecy?"
Venomon related the prophecy that had empowered the Digidestined, haltingly at first, then faster as the memory became clearer.
"And that's how they beat VenoMyotismon."
"I see." Jareth contemplated for a moment. "Venomon? I think I have a plan."
There was a pause.
"Maybe you're right." Jareth ducked under a low branch.
