"You know, none of them will mind if you join them." I said.

Impmon twitched, only just managing to stop himself from reacting. "I have no idea what you're talking about." He claimed.

I turned to look at him. "We both know that isn't true."

He glared at me, before turning back to look at Kazu, Kenta, Jeri and Guilmon.

"You had quite a bit of fun with Terriermon, Calumon and Guilmon, didn't you?"

He twitched, again. "How the hell do you know that?!"

"I had been keeping an eye on them, you know?" I said, looking up. "I knew the moment that you decided to make yourself known to them."

"Doesn't mean anything." He insisted.

"Really?" I asked. "So the fact that you had fun doesn't mean anything? The fact that you enjoyed it doesn't mean anything? The fact that-"

"Shut up!" He shouted.

I looked at him. He glared back at me.

"You can hide it behind a rough exterior as much you want, Impmon." I noted. "You can lie to others, and you can lie to yourself. But lies don't change the truth."

He scowled, looking down.

"If you feel like having fun, then go out and have fun. No point in letting stupid things that happened in the past stop you."

He spun, scowling.

I gestured forwards, at Kazu, Kenta, Takato, Jeri and Guilmon.

"They'll be happy to have you, you know." I said. "And unlike a certain pair of four year olds, they are actually mature enough to hang around."

He paused. "What are you saying?"

"That's a good question." I nodded. "Can you guess what the answer is?"

"I don't want a stinkin' human partner." He stated.

"It's a good thing that I wasn't saying that one of them should become your partner, then." I looked up. "After your experiences with Ai and Mako, I sincerely doubt that you'll ever want a partner." Not without a lot of shit happening. "Which is perfectly fair, because as far as potential partners go, whoever decided that having a pair of squabbling four year olds on that list made quite possibly the worst choice ever." I shook my head.

Impmon stared at me, an odd, confused, expression on his face.

"Oh well." I straightened up. "You have a nice day, okay?"

"Hey, wait-"

I vanished.

"You guys just don't learn, do you?" I asked.

Indramon turned his head to the side, looking at me. For a certain value of 'looking', anyway, what with the fact that the bipedal horse's eyes were covered by his hair.

"First it was Mihiramon, and he got destroyed. Then it was Sandiramon, and he got destroyed. Then it was Sinduramon, and he got destroyed. Then it was Vajramon and Pajiramon, and they got destroyed. Now it's you." And Makuramon, but he was Bio-emerging in a different place entirely, so I didn't mention him. "Are you seeing the pattern here? This never ends well for you Deva."

Indramon huffed, which somehow exuded nothing but arrogance.

I dropped to the ground, falling off the light post, looking up at him. "So tell me, what is a servant of Zhuqiaomon like yourself doing here?"

That caught his attention.

"You know of our great Lord?"

"Your lord." I pointed out. "I do not serve the Sovereigns."

"Hmph. What a fool you are." Indramon stated.

"And what arrogance you have." I noted. "Coming to this world, ready to cause destruction, all in the name of a giant flaming chicken."

He arm shot forwards, colliding with my body and sweeping upwards. If I were normal, that might have hurt, but as it is...

His arm came to a stop, parallel to the ground. I straightened up, standing on top of his bracer. "Congratulations, you accomplished exactly nothing."

I clapped, just to insult him further.

He waved his arm to the side, trying, and failing, to launch me off.

He stopped, letting his arm fall back to his side.

I dropped off as he did, coming to a stop in front of him again.

"Whatever you are, creature, you will be destroyed by the might of the Sovereigns."

"The Sovereigns who can't even agree among themselves?" I asked, taking no small amount of amusement from the emotions that were blooming inside Indramon's Heart. "Four ancient and powerful Digimon, squabbling like little children."

Indramon's arm shot forwards again, this time slamming down on my head. My body collapsed into black smoke -it had been quite some time since that had happened, actually- as it did.

"The D-Reaper is coming and they can't even work together." I taunted

"The D-Reaper..." Indramon muttered. "Even that shall fall before the might of the Sovereigns." He stated, utter certainty in his voice.

You poor, deluded fool.

I reformed as he pulled his arm up, still staring at him. My eyes became visible through my cloak, and I slowly shook my head. "No. Not it won't. Not even the Sovereign's have that power." It took a truly excessive amount of effort to defeat it, and that was only by exploiting a weakness that the D-Reaper itself had created- unintentionally.

I didn't bother to turn around as Rika and Renamon came through the Digital Field, stopping just behind me.

Indramon turned his head to look at them, contempt appearing inside his Heart.

"Ah, one of the human's slaves appears." He casually stated. "Have you no pride, slave?"

Rika and Renamon twitched, both of them glaring at him.

"To serve a worthless, weak and tiny Human... how pathetic."

Slowly, I shook my head. "You... truly are a fool, aren't you? So confident in your own superiority, so utterly arrogant that you cannot even conceive that something might not be as you believe it is."

"Ha!" Indramon laughed. "When I return, I shall crush you for the insult."

His body disintegrated, the Digital Field vanishing at the same time. His Heart and Soul passed back into the network, quickly moving around.

"Calling Renamon a slave... What an asshole." Rika glared at where Indramon had been.
