Touma-san.

We need to talk.

[locked to Kouji]

...it almost happened again.

I was able to resist it - or rather, maybe it was just Hououmon's power, and... Lowemon was able to evolve normally, but...

I don't know how much longer I can hold this thing back, Kouji.

... Very well then.

...though... I understand why you did what you did, and we were able to defeat Mugendramon in part because of it...

You do remember what my situation is, don't you? In two major battles over the past several months, Taichi-san's fallen to his seal in BOTH of them. Hououmon's Holy Ring can only resist this so much...

If I hadn't been able to hold it back...

...

Don't you remember what it took for everyone to stop Duskmon BEFORE??

I do, Kouichi. I also knew the risk of what would happen if our team didn't rise to the occassion. And what's more, considering what Hououmon did, I doubted that Duskmon would have stood against Mugendramon for very long.

But at the same time... I've seen what kind of person you are. You disobeyed my orders when you you had to during Kurata's invasion. You've trained hard to fight your Seal, and to improve yourself as a warrior.

We sometimes have to take risks in the face of seemingly hopeless odds, but even then... I knew you had the potential to tap into the proper kind of power needed for evolution.

I... appreciate those thoughts, but... This seal, it's different from Taichi-san's... The way it affects BlackLeormon and me...

Before we became Duskmon that last time back in February, Duskmon's personality had... taken OVER BlackLeormon himself. There's something else in here, inside both of us, and it's trying more and more to break free...

I am resisting it, I can resist it... but I don't know for how long.

And what's worse, what you did made me so ANGRY and... I'm.. not even sure if that's ME speaking, or the Seal.

... Kouichi. You've already beaten something like this before.

Don't worry. Takuya and I are going to try and find a way to stop it, too. I mean, it has to be out there SOMEWHERE, right?

Re: [locked]

[yaminotoushi]

This... this is different. It's not as simple as... beating me and Digi-Code Scanning the Spirits of Darkness out of me.

Hououmon said there are only two ways to remove a seal... and with Daemon, one of them isn't an option.

Re: [locked]

[hikarinotoushi]

Yeah but... what if there's a way that no one knows about?

Listen, I know I'm not the type to fly off the handle like that, and get hung up on false hopes, but... I have to try and help you some way. I'm not giving up on you.

Re: [locked]

[yaminotoushi]

...thank you, Kouji. If there was some way, then...

...

I just don't know... I would think, if that were the case, an Area Leader, or someone from Witchenly would have known... and they would have TOLD us something, especially after what Duskmon did in Tetha.
