Xander and DemiDevimon had been traversing the plains of File Island for about an hour or so without saying anything to one another. Their escape from the snowy region via a new opening in the ground led them to a sunny, vacant savanna. Xander was starting to grow worried about the depressed look on his digital partner?s face. The floating bat kept starting vacantly ahead as his wings carried him on and one, and every few minutes, he would let out a dejected sigh. Xander had brushed it off as a negative effect of the hot weather of the open area, but now he was getting vexed about the state of his friend.
?What is the matter, DemiDevimon?? The youth asked, turning to glance at his low-lying partner but continuing forward nonetheless. Although the bat did not stop, it talked as it labouredly hovered alongside the human.
?I didn?t think I would digivolve like this, Xander. I thought I would be something similar to how I was before, but for some reason, my path is different then it should have been??
?What are you talking about?? Xander asked, genuinely concerned with what his small companion was talking about.
?I was a small ball of fire before, and now I?m a black, hateful bat. I shouldn?t have become this, but I have! I don?t want to digivolve again, Xander. I don?t want the evil to overwhelm me, because I have seen some of the minions of darkness that Digimon like me have turned into.?
?You are talking crazy,? Xander said softly. The youth plucked the weary creature from the sky and hugged him close to his heart, ?in the short time that I have known you, you have been nothing but valiant and kindhearted, so I-?
?But you haven?t seen the Digimon I have! DemiDevimon?s become the most foul, vile, and evil Digimon to exist! I don?t want to be evil!? Xander hushed his erratic friend, and then smiled at the small village he saw in the horizon.
?Listen, DemiDevimon. I have seen some real evil in my world, and trust me?you don?t fit the profile at all. We are what we allow ourselves to become. There are people in my world who have seen man at his worst, and somehow these victims have emerged benevolent, loving characters. They could have locked themselves up in their homes and let the hate consume them. No matter what happens to you, buddy, you will always be yourself. Even if you become what could be considered the pinnacle of evil, you must remember that it?s the inside that counts, not the outside. You are a good, fun loving little dude; so don?t allow your fear to change what you are. You have been bestowed a great meaning in life?you get to grow strong and beat the crap out of bad people!?
?I guess you have a point, Xander,? DemiDevimon muttered halfheartedly. The little bat finally noticed the small village they wear nearing and remarked accordingly, ?I want to hear all about your life when we get some food, because I am ridiculously hungry.?
?No problem, DemiDevimon, I will tell you all you wanna know after we get some sleep,? Both Xander and his partner were smiling now, tiny paths of saliva dripping down from the corner of their mouths? .
