Questions regarding TDO: Kalypso, Pre-Chapter Ten

From Oapekay: Izzy seems to have created a gateway to the Digital World much more easily than Kairo (I mean, he used only a digivice, a laptop, and a motorcycle engine, whereas the latter had a large room… thingy which had an overheating problem).
Hathis' Answer: Kairo's machine to get to the digital world is a permanant gateway, while Izzy's is a portal that quickly depletes the power source.

From Oapekay: I’m not sure about a brick’s potential to take out armour-level digimon [Joe threw a brick, it hit Halsemon].
Hathis' Answer: The brick just incapacitated his wing by hitting the joint, allowing Growlmon the ability to knock him out.

From Oapekay One quibble would be that there are large sections of speech where it is not entirely clear who’s speaking (such as right at the start of the Digital World bit) though it would interrupt the flow of the text.
Hathis' Answer: I intentionally made the conversation at the beginning of the chapter difficult to tell who is talking so as to (try to) create a surreal image.

From Oapekay: Wait, what happened to Sepikmon?
Hathis' Answer: He was blown up dude.

From Oapekay: When did Tai get his digivice back? He was certainly using it in chapter one. Unless I’m forgetting, the last we saw of it was Rosemon giving it to Devimon (in Absolution).
Hathis' Answer: In chapter 66 of Piedmon's Absolution, I forgot to write the part where he gets it back [It's there now].

From Oapekay Then JP appears, presmably with the intention to back up his generals, and mentions something about doing something earlier. What something?
Hathis' Answer: Essentially J.P. was just saying that if they had defeated Shurimon a few minutes earlier they would have been able to stop Gaomon from destroying the transmitter.

From Oapekay The "massive shadow" spreads only after the Spire lands; does that mean that they only work when touching the ground?
Hathis' Answer: The massive shadow was Brimpmon blocking the moonlight as it dropped altitude. On a side note, the Dark Spires only broadcast the Dark Beacon, so as soon as it detects the beacon it would be active.

From Oapekay Who was he (Henry) referring to when he said “it came to the others”?
Hathis' Answer: It came to Craniamon just before Henry decapitated him, and don't forget about the Digidestined's numerous allies throughout the digital world (Babamon, MetalTyrannomon, Tekkamon, etc...). Where are they?

From Oapekay: That Devimon left just one Gear behind seem a bit unlikely, so I assume that there is a better reason than ‘he forgot about it’. Also, surely taking slithers of a large gear is a lengthy and tiresome way to create enough Black Gears for every soldier of the glorious revolution.
Hathis' Answer: There are a lot of things going on with this paragraph so I'm just going to say wait and see.

From Oapekay: When are we going to hear more about Myotismon’s powers? Clearly Henry knows about them.
Hathis' Answer: Myotismon's powers were described in chapter fifty five of TDOPA, and the evil digidestined did know of some of his powers while they were working with him on File Island.

From Oapekay: How did Henry know about Piedmon? He was in a mountain for the duration of Piedmon’s return.
Hathis' Answer: Once again: wait and see.

From Oapekay: Is Kairo the same cousin of Takato that appears in Battle of Adventures?
Hathis' Answer: Kairo is my OC for Kalypso: for good reason too. Not only is his personality completely different from Kai's, but he has a very complicated story going on in later books that wouldn't fit with the character's personality from the movie.
