Izzy was working on the computer in Piedmon's lair. He had been doing this for several digital months, although only a few minutes had gone by in the real world. The first time line in his head was barely moving at all, like a picture permanently stuck in his mind.
Palmon came in, smiling as she did so. Even Izzy was impressed how quickly she latched to her role as despot. She placed her hands up on Izzy's shoulders. "Izzy, you've been working hard. Isn't time you take a break?"
Izzy smiled back. "I'm busy right now Palmon, but maybe later. I have a world to conquer."
"Oh come on, I have the prefect distraction for you. Our forces have caught someone you wanted." Palmon reached over to the computer and tapped a button with her vine.
Izzy smiled as a familiar face filled the screen. "Oh, I will relish this." Izzy laughed.
Izzy walked into the room, which had been completely cleared except for Myotismon and Palmon, the only two who knew that Izzy was now in charge. Ladydevimon was chained to the wall, having been captured by Myotismon a little while ago. Izzy walked up Ladydevimon. "You have been difficult to capture. Now, why don't you hand over those digivices you stole."
"Listen child." Ladydevimon scowled. "I have never met you before, and I don't know what your insane babbling is about."
Izzy thought for a minute. This was probably this timeline's Ladydevimon, not the one that came from the first timeline's, which was still currently running in his head. But there was a simple way to make sure. Izzy smiled. "My apologies, I thought you were someone else. I guess I don't need you after all." Izzy pointed his palm at Ladydevimon.
"No, STOP!" Ladydevimon shouted, afraid.
"Why are you frightened? I'm a mere human, I shouldn't have any powers." Izzy chuckled. "Unless you know better, mother."
Ladydevimon smiled as she realized this was all Izzy's plan. "You always were a smart one, Izzy. I guess you do take after your mother."
"More than you realize. I know all about you, mother dearest. Thanks to my unique brain, I remember both time lines. I know all about you, and how you escaped to this time line. I guess things didn't work out exactly how you planned."
"As a matter of fact, no, they didn't." Ladydevimon scowled. "I was preparing to take power, but then a new force, one unfamiliar to me, destroyed the Dark Masters. I would have never guessed it was you."
"You should have. You knew my power, that's why you tried to kill me." Izzy smiled. "But I got over it, and it helped me find my true destiny. So what did you do with this timeline's Ladydevimon? I don't think you would have been careless enough to delete yourself. I admit I don't understand all the intricacies of temporal mechanics, but I am willing to wager that the deletion of this timeline's Ladydevimon would mean your deletion as well."
"I merged with her, with the aid of the digivices. I've had some time to examine them, and interestingly enough, four of them seem to have the ability to merge the code of two digimon. It was buried quite deep." Ladydevimon smiled. "I would be more than happy to tell you all my secrets, if you let me go, son."
"An interesting, but useless ability. What need would I have for a DNA merge of digimon? Turning two fighters into one is not a wise use of resources." Izzy shook his head. "There is something more important I want. The digivices and the tags. I imagine that you also have the tags. I went back to that underwater cave, and imagine my surprise that the tags were gone. I went to confront my dear father Devimon about my problem, when I discovered he was deleted. A tiff between my parents, I wager, in which you walked away." Izzy grabbed Ladydevimon's chin. "Although I see you didn't walk away unscathed. There's a faint scar on your cheek. It must have been a nasty cut, if it's still there after all this time."
Ladydevimon looked over at Palmon. She had got the scar from Biyomon, after she had deleted Patamon. But she wasn't about to mention that now. Obviously Palmon and Izzy were allies now, and Palmon would be furious if she found that fact out. "What guarantee do I have you won't delete me the nano-second I give them to you?"
"Ladydevimon, I said I've forgiven you for trying to assassinate me. If I wanted you deleted, I would have had you eradicated on sight, not brought to me." Izzy held outs his hand. "Now, the digivices and tags."
Ladydevimon scowled as a strip of leather opened up on her outfit. Seven digivices strung out in front of her. "This want you want?"
Palmon walked forward and picked the digivices and tags with her vines. "Thank you." Then Palmon struck Ladydevimon across the face with one of her vines. "And THAT'S for taking them in the first place."
"Why you weed!" Ladydevimon yelled, her cheek stinging.
"Now Palmon, calm down, that's no way to treat our leader." Izzy shook a finger mockingly at Palmon.
"What are you talking about?" Ladydevimon asked. She didn't like Izzy's tone .
"Myotismon, if you would." Myotismon nodded and left the room. Izzy turned back to face Ladydevimon. "I have come with the perfect plan. Except for Palmon and Myotismon here, everyone is going to think you're in charge."
"You're giving me all your power? How generous." Ladydevimon sarcastically replied.
Myotismon had returned with a machine, which looked like a futuristic leaf blower. Izzy had designed it with some of the technology he found in Myotismon's castle, from Gennai's old allies. "But first, you're going to have a little change of disposition." Myotismon aimed the machine at Ladydevimon.
"Izzy wait!" Izzy gestured Myotismon to stop. "You wouldn't do this to your own mother, would you?" Ladydevimon asked.
"You planned to kill your own son. We are more alike than you realize. You should be proud. I've turned into the son you have always wanted." Izzy turned back to Myotismon. "Proceed."
Myotismon smiled evilly. "Certainly." Myotismon fired the device. Ladydevimon tried to scream, but didn't have time as it looked like her body was sucked into the strange machine.
"An interesting device." Myotismon commented. "Would it work on other digimon?"
"Sadly no." Izzy replied. "It would only work with Ladydevimon, since it was attuned to her specific code. I simply used part of my own code to make the machine work, since she was my mother. Now, come on."
Myotismon and Palmon walked behind Izzy to another room, and plugged the machine into a computer. Izzy tapped a few buttons and sat back and waited. The screen turned white, and began to fill up with black atoms. Izzy watched as Ladydevimon's form built in the monitor. "What, I'm not deleted?" Ladydevimon choked out. "What did you do to me?"
"There are the beings in the digiworld Ladydevimon, who don't have any form." Izzy explained. "They were the ones who helped form the digidestined. You are now more or less one of those creatures, intelligence, personality but no physical structure."
Ladydevimon's face turned angry as it filled the screen. "You disobedient child! Change me back! I order you to." Her voice stopped when Izzy clicked the monitor off.
"She'll get over it." Izzy said to Myotismon. "She'll enjoy the illusion of being in charge. Eventually." Izzy then looked at Palmon, who was still holding the digivices and tags. Palmon had picked hers out, and placed the others on a table. "Me and Palmon have something else to take care off."
Palmon was on a cold metal table, a bit discomforted as she had been scanned, prodded, poked and god knows what else. "Are we done yet?" Palmon whined.
Izzy was going over the last bit of results. Most of the equipment had been pirated from Datamon's lab. "Almost."
A hatch popped open and out popped Palmon's digivice. Izzy picked up the device, which he had fused with the Crest of Sincerity. Finding the crests was easy, he just remembered where on Server they where hid in the first time line. Izzy handed the digivice to Palmon. Palmon sat up. "What do I do now?"
"Digivolve." Izzy smiled. "Simply digivolve."
Palmon held the device tightly, and a strange feeling came over her. Light filled the air as Palmon called out. "Palmon digivolve to.TOGEMON!" An enormous cactus filled the room, crushing the table. "Ooh yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Palmon punched the wall beside her, forming several cracks.
"You're not finished yet Togemon. You have one more phase." Izzy reminded her.
Togemon nodded, and concentrated harder. Her eyes and mouth shot out beams of light as a flower opened on her head. The flower opened up, and out came a flower pixie, crying, "Togemon digivolve to .LILLYMON!" Lillymon landed lightly on the ground.
"Prodigious." Izzy smiled at the results.
Lillymon looked over herself. "Now that was a trip." Lillymon aimed at the wall, her flower cannon forming from her hands. "Flower CANNON!" A burst of energy seared from her hands, destroying the wall and three walls after that. Lillymon ran her hands over her body as the flower cannon disappeared. "Beauty and power."
"A deadly combination." Izzy walked forward. Now while Palmon may have been a bit on the homely side, Lillymon was a goddess. Izzy stood next to Lillymon, his head coming just short of Lillymon's shoulder.
"Only for my enemies." Lillymon twirlled in a circle and flew up in the air, enjoying the rush. "And you're not one of my enemies, are you?"
Izzy grabbed Lillymon's hand, and brought it to his face. He placed a kiss on Lillymon's hand. "I am anything but."
Lillymon blushed slightly as Izzy released her hand. "So, what do we now Izzy?"
"Quite simple." Izzy replied as they walked out of the lab. "Anything we want. Anything we want."
