Just wanted to clarify what the Sovereigns tried to say about staying out of it, I was tired when I wrote that post and didn't do very well explaining that part. 

The Sovereigns are neither good nor evil, but they are far from neutral. They don't choose one side or the other to aid, and instead let the Digital World follow it's own whim. Sadly that has led to many dark times and just as many good. It is a constant shifting balance that will never settle, as you can try all you want to rid the whole world of evil, but where there is good there will always be evil. There will always be conflict.

But the Sovereigns are powerless against this because of their own purpose, they cannot interfere on one side without disrupting the balance entirely. However, they can bring about things such as the Digidestined, as each are of free will and can choose their own sides and destinies.
