There we go.

Fixed.

Ground smoothed over, marks gone, Darkness reabsorbed.

Now, only one little blight remained, and that was Makuramon's data.

But, that wasn't particularly too hard to get rid of.

I walked over, space warping around me.

A moment later, I disappeared, taking the cloud of data with me.

I appeared back in the Matter Dimension, to be greeted by two Digimon and five kids- two of which were currently pointing their D-Powers at me.

I ignored Makuramon's data beginning to disperse behind me, choosing instead to stare at them.

They blinked as they looked at me, their eyes trailing to behind me before snapping back to me. Takato quickly stuffed his D-Power back in his pocket, while Rika gracefully clipped hers back onto her belt.

I glanced to the side, noting both Growlmon and Kyubimon standing ready.

I looked back at the kids. "You were planning on coming in again, weren't you?"

Rika nodded.

Twin flashes of light heralded Kyubimon and Growlmon degenerating, both Guilmon and Renamon promptly walking over to their partners.

"Well, no need for that." I said, gesturing at the cloud of data behind me. "I took care of him."

"So, I rushed all this way for nothing?" Rika grouched.

"Sorry." Takato winced.

"Not your fault." Rika sighed.

"Indeed." I noted. "Besides, Indramon will be back sooner or later."

Closer to sooner, actually.

A few hours away still- if he retained his canon timeline reappearance, anyway.

Hmm.

Guess we'll find out soon enough.

"Just... come grab us if he does, okay?" Rika asked.

"Sure."

He did.

I sensed his Heart beginning to cross over, went and grabbed Rika, Renamon, Takato, Guilmon, Henry and Terriermon, and promptly took all of them to where Indramon was only just beginning to bio-emerge.

"So, horsey." I greeted, walking forwards. I looked upwards- was he bigger than before?

Yes. He was definitely bigger than before.

"Ah, vile scum." Indramon greeted me. "Have you realised how weak and pathetic you are yet?"

"This coming from you, Indramon?" I asked. "Oh, wait. You would know all about how being weak and pathetic is, wouldn't you?"

He was paying attention to me- and ignoring the kids, all of whom were now swiping their cards.

And, sure enough, three flashes of light later, Gargomon, Kyubimon and Growlmon stood behind me.

"Don't stop there. Indramon, for all of his arrogance, does possess considerable power." I addressed the children, not letting Indramon hear me.

"For such a miserable being, you do have quite the sharp tongue, don't you?" He chuckled.

He was still focused on me- and still ignoring the children, paying absolutely no attention to them as they brought out their Blue Cards.

The fool.

"Coming from you, I am unsure as to whether to take that as a compliment or an insult." My head tilted to the side. "Your idiocy aside, drawing such a thing from the most arrogant and vain of all the Deva... Why, I'm simply not sure what to think."

He laughed, before straightening up, the straps that bound the horn to his back bursting into data. "Enough games. I will crush you like an insect."

Slowly, I shook my head.

"Oh, Indramon." I lamented. "You truly are a foolish being, aren't you? So easily baited, so easily distracted from more important matters."

The horn began to float around his body, slowly moving in front of him. "And what would those more 'more important matters' be, oh disgusting one?"

I didn't answer. I didn't need to.

Again, three simultaneous flashes answered his question, coupled with three simultaneous, but weak, explosions.

Taomon, Rapidmon, and WarGrowlmon slowly straightened up, each one staring at Indramon with dangerous intent.

"Is that fear I see in you, Indramon?" I taunted.

And it worked. The fear was burned away with anger, Indramon gripping the horn a little bit harder. He didn't run away or try to do the smart thing and retreat from the three ultimate level Digimon, he stayed there like a fool.

"Adhomukha!" Indramon growled, taking a deep breath and blowing on the horn.

A strange humming sound rang out, a bright light appearing in front of Indramon.

An instant later, it exploded, a shockwave rushing outwards.

As the closest, it hit me before I could react, sending my flying backwards- not really harming me, but still powerful enough that my form wavered, nearly collapsing into black smoke.

WarGrowlmon, Taomon, and Rapidmon were remarkably unimpressed, the first rushing forwards and gripping Indramon's arms, the cannons on his chest beginning to charge with energy.

The second jumped into the air, a torrent of spell tags shooting out of her arms, each one aimed at Indramon- who couldn't dodge, thanks to WarGrowlmon's grip on him.

The third appeared behind Indramon, a number of missiles immediately shooting out of the sides of the rocket launcher on his back.

Indramon roared in pain as the missiles collided with him, exploding against his back, stumbling forwards- but still unable to really move thanks to the grip that WarGrowlmon had on him.

I saw an opportunity, and teleported just in front of Indramon, landing on the horn.

A moment later, I disappeared, taking the horn with me, already feeding Darkness into it.

Just in time, too.

Because the very next second, WarGrowlmon opened fire, the air-splitting screaming sound not quite able to drown out WarGrowlmon's roar of "Atomic Blaster!"

Twin red beams lanced out, and Indramon was woefully unable to get away, only able to simply stand there and watch as the beams tore a hole straight through his body.

But, not for long.

He collapsed into data a moment later, not even getting the opportunity to spout off any last words.

WarGrowlmon straightened up, before promptly degenerating back in Guilmon, soon to be joined by Terriermon and Renamon.

"That didn't last very long." Rika noted.

"Few things do when they're caught between three Ultimate level Digimon."

"Well, at least it was easy." Henry said.
