We need to research what we're up against here as well." Beck responded.</div></blockquote><br/>Vagile groaned aloud realizing that Beck couldn't or wouldn't be convinced that they had to act now and not wait to gather forces. Vagile could see the importance of repairing Motherboard and launching a counter-attack with a full force, but at the same time he believed a skirmish would be suited well too. It would be very demoralizing if they finished repairs and then Lilithmon comes back for another round, thus re-destroying what was just repaired. Of course he was assuming a little, but there was no reason why Lilithmon wouldn't be gathering forces right now as well. Feeling frustrated with himself and the current situation, Vagile left the Black Sword headquarters and wandered around, observing the restoration of Motherboard taking place.<br/>"You mustn't blame yourself for what happened to Suki and the others, or even Beck for acting upon what he believes would benefit Motherboard the most." Funbeemon said as he flew beside Vagile.<br/>"If we were stronger none of this would be an issue! The strong flourish while the weak perish!" Vagile kicked some rubble in his path angrily, knocking it a few yards away. "Look around you. Nothing but weakness. We've been on the defensive from the start and it has only earned us more destruction and deaths. I'm tired of being on the losing end! I'm tired of having those with more power order me around and look down on me! I'm sick of it! .......From now on the only side I am on is mine."<br/>"So...what are you going to do?" Funbeemon asked sounding worried. There was a long silence between the two. Though it was only a few minutes, Funbeemon felt like it had been hours as he awaited an answer that he was afraid to know.<br/>"I'm going to join Lilithmon. You saw how powerful she is. Even Jay's digimon became stronger." Vagile said as he headed towards the forest.<br/>"What!? No! You can't do that! You've even said it yourself that Lilithmon has no interest in Jay. She's just using him as a pawn for her own selfish goals. She'll just do the same to you and then dispose of you once the time is right. She cannot be trusted!" Funbeemon wailed.<br/>"I know that. But all power comes at a cost. I know what I'm doing." Vagile turned to Funbeemon for the first time since there conversation. "Come. I need you on my side...Funbeemon."<br/>Funbeemon stared at Vagile for a moment. He hesitated to do as his master commanded, but there was something in the way he spoke those words, and the look in his eyes. This was different. It seemed more like a request than a command. He expected to see a burning desire for power or revenge, but instead Vagile's eyes seemed sorrowful and full of grief.<br/>Funbeemon's wings droned softly as he followed Vagile into the forest towards Lilithmon's mansion.
