...There's something that's still bothering me about all of this. [The exhausted British-accented teenager sat at a small desk in his room, drinking a cup of tea as Palmon and Biyomon seemed to be doing the same behind him.]

Why? I don't understand what all this was supposed to accomplish on their part. If we were given 'false' partners- [with a heavy emphasis on 'false' suggesting he thought that was a load of nonsense] -what was the reasoning for it? It can't be just to try to spread that virus among all of us...the planning and effort seem too elaborate for just that outcome.

More than that, if they're replicas, so to speak, why do they have free will? [He waved a hand behind him, and Palmon shrugged at the camera as though to say 'hell if I know'.] If I didn't already know which of these two I'd met first, it'd be bloody hard to tell. I would assume most of you can say the same.

[Waver shook his head with a short but heavy sigh, setting aside his cup of tea and fiddling with the Crest of Tenacity around his neck.]

On top of all that, I realized I...m-maybe I should learn how to fight. I don't think I'll be any good at it and I'm definitely sure I'd rather not have to, but if anyone can help me I'd be grateful. If we get stuck in some kind of mess like that again, I don't want to slow anyone down.

Beyond that, there's a lot of other questions too. For starters, Lotusmon is serving some kind of Queen, so she's also against Titamon who is another side, and that side's the one that made the clones, and then there's Sakuyamon who seems to have goals that align with us... but we don't know exactly what they are other than 'protecting the digital world.'

Really, I'm wondering what the Queen and Titamon are after...

O-Oh, back to your question, though... maybe they have free will because of us? I mean, our digivices are linked to them, and they seem to have a lot of weird powers that transcend the basic rules of this world--it could be related.

[What? Her clothes were trashed, so of course she's going with audio only. She can't say much on the partners fiasco, but training someone how to fight on the other hand-]

There's a reason Masters will usually stay out of the fight. Mostly due the high risk that is entailed. The war here is different, yet that principle remains. Perhaps even at greater effect, without the Master's access to spells. [This boy is a surprising one, there's no doubt about that. She's just testing him a little.]

[Yu has a good feeling about what set this off, and looks apologetic]

I hope you know: I wasn't trying to insult you, during the fight...

I don't think...it matters where they came from. They are our friends. Of course they can decide for themselves.

...I can't figure out why...

Rather than learning to fight, work on your brain. Digimon have power enough, you'll be more useful as a commander to tell them how to use it properly.

As for the 'false partner' part, you're accepting as fact words we got from an enemy who was then trying to kill everyone, and confirmed by the fox-hooker. It was probably an attempt to make us stop working with our partners so it would have an easier time wrecking the place.

What kind of fighting would you want to learn?

[Call him curious.]

You actually want to learn how to fight?

[ Don't mind her breaking off into manic laughter. ] Ahahaha, oh Waver-kun, you need to warn a girl when you're going to say something so funny!!

[ ... Isn't it great to have things back to normal! ]

Maybe it wasn't a totally logical plan to begin with?

Or maybe they thought that without your true partners you'd be weaker.

HA! Jokes on them then!

I think false partners was perhaps Titamon's way of trying to question our bonds and make us unable to evolve. They certainly have not been false in the sense that they've been with us and fought beside us from the beginning.
However, the long run plan I can't even try to predict. It may come to light as we learn more about the nature of the virus and our reason for being here.

[He smirks slightly at the sight of the familiar crest.]

I can help you with that if no one else has offered. Although, fighting Digimon is more difficult than other opponents I have faced.
