Once dinner was mostly over, Matsuki Takato claimed everybody’s attention before they could even think of leaving the table.

 

 

“Alright, everyone, listen up.”

 

 

When Matsuki Takato speaks, people and Digimon alike listen as one.

 

 

“You know I’m an honest, humble person.”

 

 

“Next to your sister anybody’s a saint, Takato.” Taichi voiced between mouthfuls of rice. To his right, Shinobi happily watched her beloved stuff himself silly, as usual.

 

 

“So it’s not very often that I enforce my authority as absolute ruler of everything that is.”

 

 

“Except when you took away my Administrator privileges to overwrite the very structure of Reality as you saw fit,” Arisu mumbled.

 

 

“And that time I was about to get killed and you rewrote reality so that light could not travel in a straight line anymore,” Rika added.

 

 

“Those were perfectly justified!”

 

 

“And what about that time you got angry at those environmentalists and made it so that they would breathe CO₂ and expel oxygen?” Henry added his two cents.

 

 

“And there’s also that time you said walking to Necropolis was too much of a hassle so you summoned Necropolis halfway across the Digital World,” Jeri commented. “Those poor Digimon are still getting used to their new location, you know.”

 

 

“Oh, be quiet already!” Takato huffed. “Really, I can’t say anything in this house without you people ganging up against me.”

 

 

“I can punish them for you if you want me to, onii-chan.”

 

 

“Maybe later, sweetheart.”

 

 

“Haaaaai.” Takako went back to her strawberry yoghurt.

 

 

“Anyway, what I’m saying is: you guys are gonna stay here for a while like good little children of God. Think of leaving and I’ll smite you…or Takako will. She’s better at that smiting stuff.”

 

 

“I still have the Sadism Agenda,” the Empress of Darkness idly commented. Takato nodded.

 

 

“There you go. Arisu, come here.”

 

 

When Arisu walked over to her father’s side, she was suddenly pulled. Her small body froze when she found herself well nestled on Takato’s lap.

 

 

“Ah! Aaa…”

 

 

“We’re gonna help Arisu-chan here with her questions, right now! We have a new set we can deal with in a few minutes!”

 

 

Why didn't Alice become pregnant? I'm sure the things Takato did to her would be hard pressed to be allowed into a porn movie. Yet she never became pregnant. Was it Fate? Coincidence? Maybe because Alice isn't an Aeternal? Or perhaps a conflict with reality, not being able to have a child until the Holy War was over?

 

 

Takato: …

 

 

Everyone: …

 

 

Takato: …Oh, don’t give me that look, Rika.

 

 

Rika: What look? I don’t have any look.

 

 

Takato: Yeah, keep telling yourself that. *looks away and mumbles* Besides, most of the time it was Alice doing “things” to me…

 

 

Rika: Really? How interesting. Tell me more.

 

 

Alice: *sips tea* Well, you see, I have this interest in-

 

 

Takato: DON’T ANSWER THAT!

 

 

Alice: *puts tea on the table* But that’s a funny question. Why do they assume there’s some deep, supernatural meaning to everything?

 

 

Henry: So there isn’t a deep, supernatural meaning?

 

 

Alice: *shrugs* I didn’t want children; I was on the pill.

 

 

Takato: And I wore protection most of the time.

 

 

Rika: …Huh. Lame.

 

 

Takato: You be quiet.

 

 

Kari's Sephiroth card is said to be the ultimate attack of angelic proportions. Does this mean that the amount of output she could put into that attack would surpass that of Taichi? Moloch? (Takato and Takako are excluded because I'm pretty sure they break the scale)´

 

 

Takako: Heheheh…we break the scale, onii-chan.

 

 

Takato: That we do.

 

 

Takako: But, this question…he doesn’t know what Hikari’s Sephiroth Card did, does he?

 

 

Takato: I guess not. If he knew he wouldn’t ask. Still, he made a decent estimate. “Gates of Eufrates” definitely surpasses Metatron’s strongest offensive technique. I think only Shekinah, you and I can put out more power than that. Sophia, maybe, if she used that kind of techniques.”

 

 

Does DC return to his own quadrant? Do Digimon ever invade there?

 

 

Jeri: Umm…DC-san is at his home world right now, right?

 

 

Takato: Yup, and whatever he’s up to, I wish him the best.

 

 

Shinobu: U-Umm…DC-sama has Aisa-chan with him, so…umm…she will take care of him.

 

 

Taichi: Right. But maybe the question is asking something else, don’t you think?

 

 

Takato: I see your point. DC returned to his home world after the Day of the Beast; then came back for his final epic battle with my sister-

 

 

Takako: Which was AWESOME…except for Shekinah getting in the way and the ‘me losing’ part, but beggars can’t be choosers…

 

 

Takato: …Right. So he came back for that, then he left again and showed up every once in a while. Am I wrong?

 

 

Suzie: Nope. He didn’t come that often in those years, but he did show up a few times. And it was good that he was in the Digital World when Samael showed up.

 

 

Arisu: Ah, right. DC-san was a great help.

 

 

Takato: Mmm. I believe wild Digimon do pop up in his world every once in a while. Nothing he and Aisa can’t deal with.

 

 

In true stories when Shinobu was featured she was more elegant than usual (still having a bit of clumsiness of course) but it was implied that something about her had changed.

 

 

Shinobu: Ah…umm…auuu…I-I’m no longer…sowwy…

 

 

Taichi: Oh, don’t get like that. You’re my Shinobu and you’re damn fine just the way you are.

 

 

Shinobu: Ahh…tha-thank you…

 

 

Takako: Allow me to explain. Shinobu did not ‘change’, she ‘awakened’. Like Ruki, Astaroth and Aisa, Shinobu was an Incarnated Supernal. When she had her ‘Epiphany’, she became that…weird…

 

 

Shinobu: Auu…

 

 

Takako: …regal…

 

 

Shinobu: Auuuu…

 

 

Takako: …onee-san-type character.

 

 

Shinobu: Shinobu’s not great anymore… *sobs*

 

 

Taichi: Aw, sheesh…

 

 

Takako: That freaky Shinobu was boring, so I fixed her!

 

 

Taichi: Don’t pretend you did that on purpose! You killed her!

 

 

Takako: And she got better.

 

 

Taichi: I HAD TO BRING HER BACK TO LIFE! BACK! TO LIFE!

 

 

Takako: Yeah, yeah, good job. Be proud of yourself.

 

 

Taichi: I’ll punch you. Takato, let me punch her.

 

 

Takato: I couldn’t care less; I just don’t think you can actually pull it off.

 

 

Rika: Just another day at home…

 

 

Alice: *sips tea*

 

 

Who won the second holy war? I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Michael won the original war and defeated Moloch who is like 40 levels above him!

 

 

Takako: The second one, huh…I wasn’t around for that one. I heard you three had a blast in that one.

 

 

Ruki: Don’t act like it doesn’t concern you! You spawned all those demons!

 

 

Takako: Yeah, yeah, sorry ‘bout that.

 

 

Ruki: ...not apologetic at all…

 

 

Takato: To answer that question, the Second Holy War was awfully short; it was the last War before the creation of the Absolute Treaty. Sophia, Shekinah and I dealt with the Horde of Hell by ourselves. It was disgusting.

 

 

Ruki: I don’t have many memories of that, being Incarnated and all, but I remember being pretty fucking pissed off.

 

 

Takako: No big surprise there.

 

 

Ruki: You. Me. Out. Now.

 

 

Takako: Ho? *chuckles* Didn’t know you were into masochism, Shekinah. Very well… *stands up* I’ll be happy to satiate your wicked, perverted desires.

 

 

Ruki: I’ll be sated if I get to break your nose.

 

 

Rika: Break ANYTHING and I’ll use your guts to make a chandelier!

 

 

Takato: Sheesh…let me set up some wards, then…

 

 

Besides the 'title' is there any significance that Takato is also Metatron? It seems only Adam is the important identity that he is. While Metatron just allows him to fight in this war.

 

 

Takato: Well, that’s about right. Metatron came along for the big Matsuki ride because it was convenient for him. He knew I would be right on the front line of this Holy War.; what better place for the Lord of Archangels to be? That’s not to say I don’t appreciate his presence. Some of his Dictums are wicked awesome.

 

 

Arisu: Papa, sometimes you’re kinda shameless…

 

 

Takato: Dangerous words for a wife to say.

 

 

Arisu: Eh? What does that… *blushes* PAPA!

 

 

Rika: Please stop flirting with our daughter, Takato.

 

 

Terriermon: Oh God! *ROTFLHAO* The wrongness…it hurts!

 

 

Henry: *facepalms*

 

 

If everything was because of Adam, was Metatron aware of his plans? I ask because they incarnated together. Did Adam manipulate Metatron or was Metatron asked to incarnate with him as part of Adam's plan?

 

 

Takato: Just like me, and by ‘me’ I mean the Aeternal, Matsuki Takato, Metatron figured out Adam’s big plan only when we merged through Incarnation. But I only got the full grasp of the plan during the forty days I spent by myself…well, with Suzie.

 

 

Suzie: Even I could tell you had a lot in your mind that month.

 

 

Takato: Ahaha, you had no idea. I didn’t fully understand who…what I was, yet there was this big chain of memories in my mind. It was confusing, really. It only got clearer after several visits to the Akashic Records.
