"The X-program can't reach here, if you wanna stay here until I stop it, or I can put you back somewhere the program's already passed through?"

"I'd rather stay out of reach, if I can."

"Then you can stay here until I fix it. There's the dream bubbles, though there aren't any near here, and you shouldn't try to interact with those, because if you mess with dreams the Sandman comes after you. He's really big and scary."

"And if you see a super huge woman with glowy stuff around her you should avoid her because it's really dangerous to approach her - she's the First Mage, but I don't think she's anywhere near here right now."

"Thank you," he says, and moseys off.

That leaves Nausicaa, Boogey, Leomon, and Falldown Angewomon.

To Falldown Angewomon: "Do you wanna go back on your own? I could also use help figuring out how to approach the King."

"I've already Fallen for you. I'm going all the way.

"As to the King, personally I doubt he'll see reason. I think you'll have to confront him and all his Knights eventually and delete whoever you can't turn, so the priority would be to pick them off one by one before they know what's happening. For the first few, you could even let them come to you.

"Safety from attacks could let us wear down even a much stronger foe over time - the big challenge would be to stop them from reporting back about your capabilities, giving the Knights time to hit you in force or develop a counter."

"But Nausicaa can create extra space. Could she not expand the world for King Drasil and make the X-Program unnecessary?"

"Oh, I have no doubt that she could. But do you believe that King Drasil made the X-Program only in dire necessity, that he cries over every death and longs for any chance to stop it? Or is he eager to see us all wiped out for the flourishing of his chosen few?"

"I think I can talk to him. I talked to the Primal Fear, and I talked to Sue's wendigo, and I talked to the angel and the Songsmith and lots of other mean scary things. If he's like the Great Wendigo and only takes and takes and takes and makes things bad, then I'll fight him, but even the scariest stuff can be good."

"Far be it from me to stop you. Just please don't bet your life on it; we're counting on you to save the world, not the king."

"I won't risk my life. I promise."

"Thank you," she nods. "As to King Drasil, if you're confident in your protections and your persuasion, you could skip the dance and go confront him directly in his tree? You'd have to be prepared to face his guards as well as him personally."

"How strong are his guards?"

"The Royal Knights are the twelve strongest Digimon known to still live. The king will be guarded by whichever are between missions."

"Boogey once beat a Dread and a whole bunch of Nightmares and the Primal Fear and then helped fight a Great Wendigo which could eat everything it saw, but I dunno what the twelve strongest digimon are like in terms of power?"

"Some are combatants unparalleled here in skill and equipment, though I know no combat comparison between Digimon and Wendigos. Others are masters of special techniques, like Gankumon's spirit projection or Magnamon's power to bend light. Rhodomon can command an army with a thought."

She glances at Boogey.

"Let me gather strength, first. There is much fear here."
