Sparks has already returned by the time your meeting ends, and is standing there poised to start speaking when you pre-empt him.
"You're going to try and steal Raidenmon from the Machine Precinct?" Your growl hits the Wisemon as a physical blow, the annoyance, and exasperation laced-sound physically pushing him back.
The shock on his face quickly turns to indignation.
"Oi! I'm not gonna try anythin'!" He replies, tapping a thumb against his sternum.
"I'm takin' back what's mine! You can be sure of that!"
His?
"It belonged to Mercuremon." The short statement knocks the wind out from his figurative sails, and he coughs into a fist.
"Well… yeah kinda." He admits, slumping a bit.
"But ya see, my past life was Mercuremon. So the Warmachine should be mine." You regard him for a few silent moments… then shake your head.
"Logic that is dubious. And that is mayhaps giving it too much credit."
"Gah! Well… screw you too Verge!" He shouts halfheartedly, one hand raising in an obscene gesture.
"It's friggen' mine and I'm going to take it back!"
"... zehahaha."
"Oi! Don't laugh ya prick. You're not allowed to do that to me! I'm supposed to be the one laughing at you." That only makes you chuckle all the harder.
"... so gonna get ya back for this."
Once the mirth has subsided, Sparks sighs and teleports in front of you, his
Book open and at its maximum size.
"Alright alright already, I get ya find it hilarious. Now get in, there's something' important we really need to talk about. Privately." You tilt your head at that, and look towards the nearby Bulwark meeting room.
"Hey! I said private. Leopardmon's got bugs… ergh. Recording devices in there."
Ah, that makes more sense than invisible and undetectable insect digimon.
".. very well." You frown at the
Book, knowing full well what going through it entails. That supremely odd, uncomfortable feeling of being stretched and squashed at the same time. However Sparks makes a good point, and if this is truly as important as he claims…
This is going to be... most unpleasant.
=
You drop free from the *portal* with a shudder, and quickly reorient yourself in the Wisemon's demi-plane… it still has a paper floor, fiery sky filled with lightning bolts. Although… the random clutter has been significantly cut down.
… the big, half-constructed mansion is also new.
Sparks pops in a moment later, smiling nervously for some reason.
"We're here. I would know what is so important."
"Yeah…" Your friend winces.
"So err, ya know how I've been absent the past few days?"
"Aye."
"Well, I've been doin' a lot of research for a long, long time. And the past few days I finally managed to do somethin'... let's just say special."
"Which would be?"
"Tch, take all the fun out of it why don't ya? Fine. I contacted… Anubismon." That explanation nets him nothing more than a blank stare.
"And that would be?..."
"Aaagh! He's a Mega that handles the server's reincarnation ya jackass!"
"That sounds… impossible. The number of mon that must be dying every moment would be impossible for a single entity to keep track of, much less direct to trees of rebirth."
"Well he does okay. Maybe not everything' personally but he knows about that kind of stuff Verge, trust me."
"Very well… then, why did you contact him? Because of Fu?"
"Eh…" Sparks wiggles a hand.
"That was half of it. Mainly I just wanted some information."
"And what did he demand in exchange?"
A Mega in that position… would be unlikely to provide assistance unless they also gained something from the transaction.
"Just a favour or two after I hit Mega." He replies witha dismissive wave.
"Nothin' important, and they can't be called unless I actually get what I want. Hehehe, I made a pretty good deal."
"..." You do not believe that. Not for an instant. He probably got tricked somehow.
"Anyway, seein' Fu again got me thinkin'. I wanted to try and get her memories back, but it's ain't exactly easy. We need somemon she was really, and I mean really close to in her past life."
That would be… mayhaps Gnaw? No there was another that was closer still.
"Auger?"
He should still be alive but… working under Luna after being handled by Count. I doubt he's the same mon anymore… because I failed to save him.
"Yeah, not sure we can use him anymore either." Sparks adds with a sigh.
"But that ain't the freaky thing. You're uh… gonna want to brace yourself for this one Verge."
"Then… I presume it will cause anger?"
"Eh… you could say that." He replies, wincing even more strongly this time.
Concerning… however I've long practiced my self control.
"Please, speak."
"Ah-kay Verge. So… I went and tried to see if he knew where Flamemon reincarnated, but no luck. Anubismon said he didn't come through."
"That… is impossible. I…"
"I saw Agnimon
die."
"Yeah... "
"Are… you saying that
Repulsa permanently deleted him?" Fury, unrelenting
Wrath surges through your core at the realization, though it's dampened by Sparks rapidly shaking his head in the negative.
"Just hold on a second before you get all angry. I've figured out what happened and it ain't that! Okay! It's more like she uh… absorbed his core data directly."
That… you remember that moment. The small circular object at the end of her transmuted limb. You hadn't recognized it then, but… that must have been his digicore.
"Then she must die for him to be released." You growl through gritted teeth.
"Heh, well, I've got one better." Sparks grunts, tossing his green space-time orb up into the air before swiping it again
. "Instead, we capture her at the tourney. I bet ya with a little help we can find a way to get him out of her. "
Get… Agnimon out of her? Could that really be-no.
"Our friend is dead." You reply flatly. "Bringing back a reincarnation will not return the mon we knew."
His words mean she'll be attending the tournament… given Repulsa's status as a Legendary Warrior she will likely be a contestant… can I delete her there? Malkimon has a strict no-kill policy. It would mean disqualification… spirts accursed-damnit! That… after I decided to win it for Frigimon… why? By the Great Tree WHY?!
"Yo, you uh… doin' okay there Verge?"
=== Choose One:
[] Agnimon's dead. You've made peace with that fact, bringing something back won't be him. The situation isn't like what happened with Fu. You're going to tear
Repulsa apart, not capture her.
-[] At the tournament, even if it means being disqualified
-[] When Bulwark comes into conflict with the Gloaming.
[] It won't bring Agnimon back, however his reincarnation… would be better off with you than some random tree of rebirth. When the time comes, use the space-time stone to capture her..
-[] At the tournament.
-[] Later on.
