Guilmon's Totally Prodigious Digistuff 008 [Video]

[fuhrinkaed]

[As the camera cuts on it's in the middle of a rocky, mountainous region. There is a Kyubimon, as opposed to the usual red of Guilmon, but the green scarf is a dead giveaway.]

Good day to you, contract holders, contracted, and dark partners alike. I, Kyubimon, wielder of the Dark Flame have returned once more to speak to you all.

We have sensed a disturbance in the ether, and as a result have decided to travel beyond the horizon in order to find the ethereal palace. This journey is perilous, filled with dark forces and mystical powers unlike any mortal minds can comprehend.

But fear not, for I shall protect you, even if I must unleash the cursed power contained beneath my scarf. I swore long ago...

K-Kyubimon... [Ed pats the digimon on the head, giving her A Look.] Really now, do you have to make everything so... dramatic?

Things are more interesting this way. Has Ryudamon returned as well?

Nah, she's still foraging. [Ed turns to look at the camera.]

A-anyways, whatever weird thing Kyubimon was saying it's probably not accurate. Me and Rin just decided to have a look around the island, and we'll probably be back before too incredibly long. I have a lot of experience with this stuff so you don't need to worry about coming with.

...And even if you were going to, I kind of already left because I don't think I could lead an expedition and you guys are kind of so friendly that I know you'd try and make an expedition out of it. [He bows.]

S-sorry for not really giving any advanced notice. Stay safe you guys! I'll let you know if I find anything interesting!

[With that, the feed cuts out.]

...I wouldn't if I had any other choice, y'know.

It's either her, or everything that exists.

[codes]

Any other choice? I suppose if it is what needs to be done, then you have no choice.

--But I like to make choices for myself, not because there's no other alternative. You should do the same.

[fuhrinkaed]

I don't like it either...

Killing someone is the opposite of who I am. I want everyone to be happy, no matter what.

...If there was another way, I'd take it in a second. But there's not... because she won't let there be one. So. Y-yeah. It's fine. [No it's not, but he can't let that on.]

[codes]

Could just put her in a comatose state for the rest of her life.

[ Rin is full of Great Ideas. ] That way you're not killing her and there's no problem of trouble being caused.

Well, there's likely more trouble to be formed as a result now that I'm thinking about it.

[fuhrinkaed]

Well... It's more that if I do that, it won't solve the real problem.

And I can't solve that problem without her dying.

[codes]

Heh, good thing you're away from that situation for now.

Gives you the chance to open your eyes to alternatives you can't necessarily see when you're dealing with it upfront.

[fuhrinkaed]

...Um...

Maybe it'd make more sense if I explained.

So, like. Does your world have Seals?

[codes]

Seals is a pretty broad term. [ Making sure that the D-Terminal isn't recording whatsoever now. ] You'll have to explain what it means to you first.

[fuhrinkaed]

[...Oh yeah guess mine should be off too.]

[And in lieu of a direct response, he actually lifts his left sleeve up over his shoulder. There's a freckle on it--well, it looks like a freckle, if you don't look too close and notice it's actually a really weird dark green color.]

My world has seven different Seals that rule over different elements. I'm kind of supposed to have one of them, but this is all that's left of it.

[codes]

That's because this world represses power for whatever reason. It removes it and people are left being transformed into strange mutant humanoids. You know, like Fluttershy.

[ The girl is sweet, but it's weird seeing her the way she is. ]

So each of these seals rule over different elements--[ Leaning in. ]--and green stands for earth? That's my cliche guess.

[fuhrinkaed]

Nnnot exactly. First off, the Seal I'm supposed to be carrying is the Seal of Magic--basically the seventh one, and the one that stands for balance and regulation of the cosmos or something like that. [I got to 'balance' and then couldn't quite figure out the rest.]

It's really zen.

Anyways... the second thing is that my Seal's been like this since I was a baby. It got stolen.

[codes]

Who steals seals from a baby? It's like taking cand---oh, I suppose that explains why.

So who took yours?

[fuhrinkaed]

...Sis did. Not just that, but she did it wrong.

And that's why I have to fight her.

[codes]

It really sounds complicated, but how about this? If your sis shows up here, I'll be on your side.

Promise. At least that's one person who won't backstab you, yeah?

[fuhrinkaed]

[Well, you're clearly tsundere... but I see no reason not to trust you!]

Sounds good. Um... her name's Lila. And she's actually shorter than me, with really red hair. Be careful if you ever meet her--she's... she's really sneaky, and really strong. In a place like this...

[She's the techie geek equivalent of me and magic. Scary, man.]

[codes]

In a place like this, I doubt she'll stand a chance against me.

[ She's been here for months and already manipulated a number of things. Just allow her to be arrogant just this once. ]

I'll know the moment she uses her D-Terminal to contact anyone, understood?

[fuhrinkaed]

[Ed isn't really one to pick fights anyways, be as arrogant as you like.]

I-If you say so. [A small nod.]

I'd really appreciate that, thanks. I mean... you are really smart at this stuff too, and you have a head start.

[codes]

It's only because there's nothing else to do here. Look at us--there's a ton of us that are more eager to fight and step inside weird fields that a number of us can sit back doing nothing at all. That's where I specialize in.

[fuhrinkaed]

Well, nobody's better at doing nothing than you!

[He meant it as a compliment.]

[Really.]

[codes]

[ ... ]

Really?

[ There's no way to take that nicely. ] I'm starting to see why you have so much trouble with your love life.

[fuhrinkaed]

Weeh? [Wow you really are smart! Leaning forward in surprise and curiosity.]

Wh-why's that?!

[codes]

You just praised my laziness without batting an eyelash. No one likes to hear their negative traits in a positive light, but you did it without care.

[fuhrinkaed]

W-w-wait, you mean it's bad to praise people for stuff they do that sounds bad? But you just said you were great at doing nothing..!

[codes]

Yes, and you were supposed to say something like "But that just means you're saving up your energy for something you really believe in" or something to make me look less like a deadbeat!

[fuhrinkaed]

O-oh!

Well, I thought that was obvious. Clearly striking with precision and exact force is what you're best at.
