On the possibility of joining Terminal Tokyo.

[ba_boom]

Hey. Hey! Whaddya think you're doing?

Yes. You. You just got done with one game and now you're looking at another one? Have you lost what little mind you had to begin with?

[So you don't like the idea of seeing all your friends again?]

No, I do not! I don't need them. And they don't need my help. They probably don't even want my help.

[I'm sure Guilmon would be happy to see you. He's incapable of holding a grudge now that you're not, y'know. Evil. Anymore.]

Don't go thinking I've gone soft! I helped fight the D-Reaper out of pure self-interest. Yeah. I didn't want to die, so I helped 'em fight it. I could care less what happens to 'em.

[... Are you sure this isn't because Leomon will be there?]

... This ain't about me, anyway! You've got school to think about. And hey, I never agreed to get stuck in your head in the first place! I already got two partners, that's all I'll ever need.

[So you don't have a problem with seeing Leomon again. Duly noted.]

Wha- No! I mean. Yes. I- look, I just don't wanna go, okay? And you can't make me!

[We'll see.]

Ooh, Impmon!

[alwaysfaithful]

Sounds like your mun won't even listen to you.

You're a Digimon aren't you?

INDEED.

[ba_boom]

Yeah, that's right. What's it to you?

[Sadly, his heel-face turn didn't come with a personality transplant. Don't mind him if he's a jerk.]

[guilmon]

[Sorry, Impmon, but Guilmon's over here giggling like the doofus he is. He missed Impmon's bombastic personality.]

Aww, it won't be that bad! There's lots of bad Digimon you could fight if you wanted to show how cool you are.

[Guilmon's savvy enough to know how big Impmon's ego can get.]

[ba_boom]

Puh-leaze. I don't need to fight bad Digimon to show that, it's obvious just from lookin' at me!

[Don't you try to play him, pineapple-head! It won't work much.

Although. Bad digimon...]

Besides, I'm sure you and your lame-brain friends have the situation under control, right? No need for me to even show up!

[guilmon]

I don't know about that.

[Guilmon's ears droop, and he shakes his head.]

There was this big Digimon called Titamon, and he was so strong that Guilmon still had trouble fighting him as Dukemon! A bunch of Tamers got together to help fight him, but he got away, and Guilmon's sure he's out there waiting for another big attack.

[bigsoftie]

No. No. NO. There's ENOUGH Impmon there. I'M the alpha!

[ba_boom]

What the-

[Peeeers.]

What is this, some kinda joke? Who are you supposed to be?

[bigsoftie]

I'm the friggin' Duke!

[God, Duke do you need to embarrass Leatherhead every chance you get?]

...he is my partner.

[oneeyedterror]

Oh boy, more of you little freaks.

[Hey have a man-voices girl who is also in Terminal Tokyo and has an Impmon. A lady Impmon.]

[ba_boom]

Hey! Who are you calling a freak? Yanno, maybe you humans seem freaky to me, but do I go around calling you freaks? No! I do not!

[Except that time when he used to do stuff like that. And also swipe ice cream cones and throw fireballs at passersby and OH HEY LOOK AT THE OTHER IMPMON convenient distraction go.]

Now you, on the other hand, are the opposite of freaky. Nice to meet ya!

[oneeyedterror]

Humans are freaky, especially since I ain't normally one.

[Oh noooo, she's kinda trying to hide behind Whirl.]

Hello.

[digivolution]

Cululu -- !! It sounds like Impmon is going to have fun in a new place, right? Culumon is reaaaaally jeaaaaaalous, culu.

[ba_boom]

Is everything a game to you, creampuff?

[... And he's smiling as he says it. Not that he'd ever admit that. He'd deny it to the bitter end. But still.]

[digivolution]

Games are fun! If everything could be a game, then Culumon thinks people would be even happier, culu.

But sometimes se-ri-ous things happen, culu. Serious things aren't games, culu!

[guilmon]

Culumooon!

[Why yes, that would be one big, red goofball grinning from ear to ear.]

It's lots of fun! Guilmon thinks Impmon could use more of that. Don't you? Sometimes he can be really grumpy.

[Plus, after all the bad stuff they went through, he needs more silly.]

[digivolution]

Guilmon!

[ And guess who's expressing its excitement via impromptu piggyback rides? Culumon, of course. ]

Mmm, Culumon thinks so too. Because Impmon is always making frowning faces, culu. It would be better if everybody smiled more together, culu!

[littlest_tamer]

You helped fight the D-Reaper because you're a good guy, Impmon. Don't be silly. You can be tough and be good.

I just wish we could've done more to help out.

[ba_boom]

[Not the face he was expecting to see, not by a long shot. His over-the-top excitable loudness seems to fade a little.]

You guys did more than you think. I don't think I coulda' helped them at all without you.

[littlest_tamer]

Aww, Impmon. I missed you so much after you left. Mako-chan and I both have. But now you're here, so all we need to do now is find Mako!

[lionhearted_destiny]

Impmon...

I'd really like to see you.

[what are you going to do now impmon]

[ba_boom]

Gwah? Uh...

[Okay. Okay. Be cool, Impmon.]

I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm still not sure if I'd really fit in.

[lionhearted_destiny]

Don't be silly! There are a lot of different kinds of Digimon there, and their partners too. I think you'd fit in just fine.

[thebiggestdreamer]

Impmon!

It would be great if you showed up.

(It's the gogglehead who once spent the day having fun with Guilmon while his friends were taking on a Deva, but he's matured much since then.)

[ba_boom]

Gee, I didn't know I'd have such a warm welcome.

[He didn't deserve it. He was sure he didn't.]

It's about time you people recognized how amazing I am!

[thebiggestdreamer]

Of course! You're our friend, no matter what mistakes were made in the past.

(He laughed lightly, really missing the Rookie Digimon and most of his antics.)
