Episode Fourteen: Rain, After the Escape/Data Distortion

Ornismon:<I get that, but if Dagomon's not going to come out, do we blow up this whole place?>

???: "Stronger individuals have tried, but it always remains. This world exists because of the one above and the one above exists because of this world. To destroy one is to destroy both."

From one of the trees, a big yellow eye opens up followed by multiple smaller red eyes. Being the putz she is, Euryale will likely try to attack it.

E<"Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Sauron?">

A<"Who are you? Are you friendly.">

Raijimon:<...Who are you?>

If not for its perpetual indifference, Shademon would be offended that Eve forgot it. Assuming it's the same Shademon.

SlashAngemon: "Shademon."

Shademon: "The Digital World above and World of Darkness below exist because the other exists. One cannot be destroyed without the other being destroyed as well."

What it's saying is not only did it take what Cameron said literally, but that it's not possible.

Its enormous yellow eye shifts towards Rosemon, probably creeping that wimp out.

Shademon: "I am neither friend nor foe."

*Wouldn't you be? Anyway, Rosemon shivers & creeps closer to Gallantmon, putting a hand on its shoulder.*

G<"Uh-huh. And why should we trust you on any of this?">

Raijimon:<...Are you the same Shademon we encountered before?>

Shademon: "The words of your comrades regarding my brethren do not disuade your distrust while I have done nothing to make you trust or distrust me."

Should be apparent it isn't which is probably a good thing given how they appeared before. Imagine seeing it take on the form of all of them. At the same time.

G<"You live in a creepy place filled with ghosts that we reached by going down a pit in an Evil Overlord's castle, which itself is in a world where the majority of things have tried to kill us. Some skepticism should be expected.">

Ornismon:<Yeah, you look kinda...evil. No offense, you're probably a really nice guy.>

OOC: Says the big dark colored bird which had an antagonistic role in the film it appeared in.

Shademon's eyes take on a contemplative look.

Shademon: "I had not thought of the creatures here as ghosts, but it is a fitting description. A world forever plagued by ghosts and gods, away from the light."

Dianamon:<Is there anything we can do here?>

Shademon: "There is nothing that can be done. It is best to deal with the problems that can be solved."

Dianamon:<Then I suppose we better head back to the castle. Everyone ready?>

G<"...Why would we just give up because some random eyeball told us to? What does he even know about Millenniummon?">

Shademon: "There is a balance between both realms. When that balance is threatened, heroes are called from another world, to restore it. The threat to that balance also threatens your world."

G<"And it's just conveniently NOT in the place full of evil? I find that hard to believe.">

Raijimon:<As we said earlier, we have encountered Shademon before.>

Ornismon:<I'm just curious, if you don't think this guy is trustworthy, why bother asking all these questions instead of shooting him?>

The red eyes of Shademon dart towards Ornismon, not too pleased by his petulance. It'd probably be in their best interest to calm down less their wings get clipped.

Shademon: "Evil isn't as simple as you'd like to believe. The ghosts that inhabit this domain do not exist solely because they were evil in a past life. Just like the inhabitants of this world are not all "evil." Some were born and remain indifferent to the Digital World above while others do not."

G<"'Not trustworthy' doesn't mean 'kill him on sight.' Shit, calm down.">

*Rosemon peeks out from behind Gallantmon, raising her hand as if in school.*

A<"Um--Mr. Shademon--sir? Uh...I don't think that Gallantmon meant that everyone here is evil. Just that there are a lot of things like Dagomon & his servants down here, & it'd be the perfect place for an evil Digimon to hide.">

G"Right. Once again, we got here through a hole in the floor of Millenniummon's castle. It makes no sense that they would not be connected.">

*Ornismon ruffles his feathers*

<Hey now, we just want to get something done.>

Shademon: "There are many paths to this world. Some are more accessible than others."

Raijimon:<...Shademon, you haven't seen a human here recently, have you? Male, brown hair, red cape?>

Shademon: "I have not."

Raijimon:<Oh...well, thanks anyway.>
