[Did anyone really expect the community to be nice to Beelzemon with all these viruses? Because ah ha ha ha, yeah, like that would ever happen.

So when the video opens, Beelzemon is doing less than great. Mostly due to the fact that he's currently getting the crap kicked out of him.

By... himself? Yeah, there's two of him now.

Because that's not gonna get confusing or anything. Although, to be fair, there are some differences here. One Beelzemon looks the same as always. The other has a slightly lighter color scheme in places, green eyes instead of red eyes, and - most strikingly - large, dark wings.

They're busy fighting it out, but the winged version is definitely winning right now.]

The hell's your problem even?! Aren't ya supposed to be me or somethin'?!

Yeah, and? Trust me, in a few weeks you're gonna be very jealous of me for gettin' to do this!

What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

You just shut your mouth already, I don't wanna hear one more word from you!

[...Well, that sure is. Uh. Something. It says a lot about a person when even their future self hates their guts, though.]

Okay, because someone--and by someone, I mean J--not only took home the saddest puppy he could find--and by that, I mean Ren--but ALSO finished off our allowance of enetron after some asshole--and that's Messiah, by the way--stole my entire supply from Hyperspace....I'm holding a bake sale to pay for more.

...Oh, and Makoto says we need meat buns. So we definitely have to pay for that too.

[The camera pans over a plate of blue-tinted blueberry muffins with sad faces made on them in a drizzle of icing.]

We have angstmuffins.

[Now a tray of donuts, with a hand-shaped cookie on top.]

D'oh!nuts, in a vanilla with different icing.

[A rather pathetic-looking apple pie, shaped like a crescent moon.]

What I'm calling the "Derple Pie."

[Some rather sloppy whoopie pies.]

Whoopsie-pies. And pot brownies.

[The camera swings over to some brownies...in pots. With a notecard reading "Note: Do not contain actual drugs--Kurorin would kill me, and I'm in enough trouble as it is."]

So, any takers?

[The feed clicks on to reveal the inside of a temple of sorts. In there stands a lone angel who looks around the room with a mixture of curiosity and worry in his expression. So far, he dosen't seem to realize the video is recording.]

Okay, something is very, very, very wrong here. How did I end up back at the temple? Shouldn't the credits be rolling now that I beat Hades?

[He begins to call out some names.]

Lady Palutena? Viridi? Pittoo?! Phosphora?! Anybody?! ...Hades?! ...wait a minute, I fried you with a giant laser. Why the heck would I wanna talk to you?

[He paces back and forth across the floor trying to think about everything that's happened until his eyes see the journal recording. Pit walks over and picks it up.]

Uh, this thing was recording everything wasn't it? Well, might as well introduce myself. My name's Pit. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

[Beelzemon is looking rather annoyed today. Which might have something to do with the small DemiDevimon and MarineAngemon floating over his shoulders. You can't say the community doesn't know how to make its viruses appropriate to the setting.]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ready to get this virus over and done with. I can barely even hear myself think! Ugh, such a freakin' pain-

[The DemiDevimon decides to interrupt before he can finish speaking, though.]

Yeah, yeah, woe is you! Now shaddup and get to doing something about those pests already! Gotta keep up our end of the deal, right?

...Shut up.

Wow, defensive, aren't we? You want to prove you're stronger than them, right? So let's do that.

...

Um... [Hesitantly, MarineAngemon flies closer.] Why don't we just forget about that and go home? We don't have to fight them-

[Annnnd that just earns him a slap in the face from DemiDevimon's wing. Ouch.]

No one cares what YOU think!

[Beelzemon facepalms and lets out a growl.]

...This better be a short virus.

We have come up with a most delightful game! It is called the Spider Game. Make note that there is only one way to win, and that is to locate us before we make our move.

This new power pleases us, and we insist on utilizing it as much as possible! The Fun will be doubled, nay, tripled with this new expansion of Equestrian shores!


[Action]

Somewhere, perhaps you're not expecting it, a invisible pony drops right atop you.

"HOW MANY POINTS DO I RECEIVE?!"

[The video opens on a desert. While at first it looks fairly normal, just your average barren wasteland with cliffs, it's quickly clear that this isn't the case. Firstly, rather than being blue, the sky looks like someone opened up a computer.

Secondly? Well, there's the strange, demonic looking biker who's shooting at a bunch of smaller monsters floating in the air. It's not a very exciting fight, though. It takes just one shot from the biker's gun to tear through about a third of the monsters. It's over in a flash and the monsters pretty much disintegrate, leaving only glowing particles... which the demon biker proceeds to absorb.]

Heh! That was barely even worth the effort! Talk about pathetic.

[Huh. Isn't that odd? This guy's voice almost sounds like a deeper, more threatening version of a certain fireball-throwing pest.

He's almost about to walk off, when he stops and turns, noticing the device that's filming everything. He casually walks over to it and picks it up, looking straight into the camera.]

Well now, would you look at that? And here I thought this thing just got sick of me and kicked me out permanently. It sure as hell wouldn't have been the first to... But I guess I can't get rid of it that easily.

S'been a while, though, so I'd better introduce myself, huh? The name's Beelzemon. Don't forget it.

[The video opens inside a very high-tech looking building. Seriously, there's complicated-looking machines everywhere, as well as many screens showing formulas or binary code.

Oh, and there's also the really annoying, high pitched sound of a fire alarm going off. Which might just be due to the smoldering remains of one of the computers. There's a group of men in black suits standing around it, looking baffled.

In the background, you might spot Impmon quickly and quietly ducking out of the room. The video ends for a moment, before beginning again in a different room of the same building. Impmon's addressing the camera this time.]

Geez, you'd think a big, important, shady place like this'd have better security, but getting in here was almost insultingly easy! Kinda pathetic, really, especially when you consider what this place even is!

See, get this, this place is all about monitoring and getting rid of Digimon like me... And they didn't even notice me walkin' right into their HQ! If it wasn't so hilarious, I'd almost feel sorry for them! [He pauses, then laughs.] Ha, who am I kidding, no I wouldn't!

Hello? Coooome on, work. You've done enough not wor...Oh. [Ellie, finally on camera, grins.] I've been tryin' to get this thing working since everything started.

So, uh, about the whole dying thing. [She laughs a bit nervously, possible with a tinge of guilt, and holds her arms out.] I didn't. It's kind of a lot to explain and I'm not really supposed to but I'm okay and I'm traveling with some people. They're cool, so...

Yeah, sorry about that, about worrying everybody but I'm glad I got to meet the people that came. It was pretty awesome, knowing there's places out there like that, where people take care of each other.

Does that happen a lot? Not the caring for people but meeting...friends, I guess? from other worlds? It'd kind of suck never really getting to see them.

[Impmon's walking along a railing. Above him, a tall, humanoid fox is walking on a billboard. After a while, Impmon stops and immediately the fox follows suit.]

Hng... [Impmon turns and glares at the fox.] Quit followin' me!

I have a question.
( cut for length )

Y'know, I'm not much of a fan of how this place just keeps dumpin' me in random places, but at least last time I got to stay in my own freakin' body! This is just weird and creepy in so many ways, I don't even know where to start!

Oh wait, yes I do - why is it so hot here?! I mean geez, I like fire and all, but even I've got my limits!

[He grumbles some more, though most of it is unintelligible.]

So damn weird not bein' digital...

[Michael looks awfully frustrated here. He's dragging a hand through his hair and ruffling it rather awfully.]

I know the community thinks this is funny, but I really don't know what I'm supposed to do here. I see all these prayers, but I'm not cut out to be a god... or an angel, or whatever I'm supposed to be. I don't know what to do with prayers. I can't possibly answer them all.

[Butterfly in Michael's body looks somewhere between sad and angry. Very upset, anyway.]

[That can't be Usagi looking vaguely bored as she does homework. On the beach. As far from the water as possible.

That has to be Miharu in Usagi's body.]

Still better than the last virus or whatever it was, at least.

[The video opens and oh look, it's Akihabara! The one in Nobuo's world, actually. Except right now it's plus one annoying pest.

Impmon's sitting on top of a street light, grinning as he looks at the people below.]

You know, peaceful sights like these are really boring! There's nothing going on! Life's all about excitement, don't you know and there's nothing really exciting about this dump. [He shrugs, snaps his fingers and summons a fireball.] So really, I'm just doing everyone a public service. Baddaboom! [And down goes the fireball. Don't worry, it's not actually going to hit anyone. Impmon doesn't seem to care though, as he's just sitting there and laughing his ass off.]

[Did anyone really expect anything else from this guy?]

[It's Ellie again, looking a little scuffed up and with her jaw slightly swollen, sitting in front of a large man in what appears to be an office. She seems nonchalant as he reads off a list of old marks against her.]

Let's see....fighting, theft, running away...fighting. [Apparently that needed to be said twice.] Disobeying orders...[Nonplussed, she scratches under her nose.] And more fighting. Do you have anything to say?

[When she apparently doesn't, he stands up and walks around his desk.] Do you know what stands between the hordes of infected and all the straggles living in the city?

A giant concrete wall?

[Since this wasn't the answer he was looking for, his mouth opens wide to yell at her when the video cuts off, only to open again a little later. She has a bucket and wash towel in her hand, standing on front of a car. This time she notices the recording.]

That guy pisses me off! He didn't do anything to the people who started the damn fight! [She kicks at the tire. Sniffing, she rubs a hand under her nose again.] Now I have to clean this fucking car.

[She dips the rag into the bucket before bringing it back up, wet and sudsy.] Is it like this everywhere?

[ooc: Italics are the principle, and normal text is Ellie.]

[The feed opens to Kirby gazing at his device. What has his attention? If you look closely, this video is playing on it.

Uh oh. See what happens when you let someone romp around on Youtube unsupervised?

Kirby finishing watching, and it looks like he is pleased!]

Fuck!

Fuck fuck fuck!

[He is already learning to speak! He's so proud of himself!]

Hooooly shit. [It's a young girl on the screen, her face very, very close for a few seconds.] This one actually comes on. [It moves back and shakes as she excitedly checks it out.] These phones store music, right? [Some beeps fill in the silence as she tries to navigate the smart phone for the first time.] Pretty easy...


...Nothing. [She sighs, dropping the hand that's holding the phone so that the viewers get a good view of her levi'd leg and what looks to be an old, crumbling building she's in.] Pft, figures.

[All the while, she has no idea she's being recorded.] What the hell can I use it for now? A flashlight?

[today's video featuring kouji is a little different. he's in the real world, that much is obvious, he's standing in the park, looking around and seeing no one else in the area. reaching into his pocket he takes something out of it, a device that he hadn't held in a long time.

a digivice, actually.... but it was strange, after coming back to the real world it had disappeared on him.]

...Did the community bring this back to me?

[for whatever reason it did, and it must have sensed how much he wanted it back. he had friends that he wanted to protect after all. and in one swift motion a light engulfed him, the digicode surrounding him and he turned into something else. the data molded to him, changing him, and when the digicode left him all that remained was a much taller figure, one that didn't look like kouji at all.

he was wolfmon again.]

[The screen shows Nobuo who is working from a computer in the hotel. And he looks... oddly solemn as he shuts down the computer screen, the image of Google clearly behind him.

Drawings his knees up to his chest, he laid back in the hotel room, staring up into the roof. And with a single breath, he uttered three words.]

Onore... Hatte Saburo...

[Someone just looked up his name on Google. Talk to him in-person or on the network maybe?]
