The Phantom of the Digiworld

Chapter one: Introduction

Dedication: This fanfiction is dedicated to Gaston Leroux, Susan Kay, Andrew Lloyd Webber (for their fantastic work), Alexander Goebel (as the best original German Phantom ever), Steve Barton (as a nice original English Raoul but a much better vampire), Gerard Butler (as a wonderful Phantom), it is also dedicated to BANDAI (for their wonderful work), to Richard Epcar (as a wonderful English VA), Bernd Schramm (as a wonderful German VA), it is also dedicated to all the nice people I've missed beside of the guys in the next paragraph and of course a big dedication to Erik and Myotismon (for the chaps that they are).

This fanfiction however is in no way dedicated to: Uwe Kröger (You're a terrible Phantom and a terrible VA for the film, too! And in my eyes you'll never be such a good actor like Steve or Alex!) And it is especially not dedicated to -----F-----F----- (For I'm sorry Sir if this is too rude, but your version was a rape (hint to the meant person) of my aesthetical sensitivity… So with all the annoyed fans around, you probably should keep your hands at the level of your eyes and away from your typewriter in this topic!)

Explanation:

I started this fanfiction after watching the Myotismon episodes because at that time I was on a really bad PotO-trip and I just thought Myo to be damn cool for this, actually I liked all things with a mask and Myo even got style! I finished it in a rare form and saved it on a diskette and my hard disc… The diskette went astray somewhere in my room and as I hadn't known the story remained on my hard disc… Until that disastrous night when I switched off my pc like normally and the next day I wanted to switch it on, the monitor stayed black. And the nice guy at the repair service asked me, gasping with widened eyes, how I managed to delete even the last bit of my hard disc… So what never should have been forgotten went lost…

Now, some month ago, I was rummaging through for Myo stories to read in my holidays and there I found one, by a really nice person--AthEnA1999 . Her particular fanfiction is a Digimon/ The Nightmare Before Christmas crossover called "The Digi-Nightmare Before Christmas"… And I really love it! Now you may ask… Why is this the reason for bringing up this story here? Well that's a long story, too… Ok… In AthEnA1999's fanfic, Myotismon is Jack Skellington… In the German version Jack's Voice Actor is Alexander Goebel, this guy was the original Phantom in the German premiere 1988 in Vienna and the guy on the German Phantom of the Opera CDs… So in my mind was a Myotismon with Alex's voice now… If you add to this that TNBC is a musical… well that rang a bell in the back of my head! And then at that time I went to the Phantom of the Opera movie that was in cinema just at this time and so I thought… "Mhm…" Hadn't you something like this, too? So after five days of desperately rummaging through my room and closets… I finally found the lost diskette! But as I had slightly improved my English and was highly inspired by the film, I decided to work over the fic again and have it beta read…

You could call this fanfiction a Digimon/Phantom of the Opera-crossover-songfic-thingy… As I've decided to use almost every song from the musical and change it in parts to fit to digimon.

Not all in this story is in rhymes; please don't be scared away by the beginning!

The attacks used in this story are either from the Digimon television series or from Digimon World 01 for PSone.

Yes it is gentlemon instead of gentleman and in the songs it is always partner (as digi destined) instead of father and some things are changed, too.

I hope I did a good job and so please R and R! Thanks!

Initiation and Disclaimer:

It is a large cinema, with a stage in front of the screen. It is the premier of "The Phantom of the Digiworld" And the auditorium is filled with, readers, digimon and actors.

Semiramis walks onto the stage in a long black frock, like an image of death itself. She bows in front of the audience (that means you, dear readers.)

"What you now will read is a narration like a day without light. It is about love, darkness and might. I need you all to understand how it could come to such a dramatic end. How was it possible, this struggling of three lives about, what fate divides? Day became night and night became day... but let us begin now, our little play..."

She throws the frock away and reveals a blood red velvet dress.

"Let me now draw the background for you. I do not own Digimon or Phantom of the Opera, it's sad but it's true! I hope all actors got their fees because we'll lead you now into a world of peace. The Digiworld after all struggle and fight was now gleaming in all its pride. Those who brought peace were the vaccines, the holy family and their son, the handsome, young, and strong Angemon. The digimon were happy and glad that there was nothing to fear of evil and bad. Every day was a party, celebrating the freedom from strife; everyone was satisfied with his or her life. The Digiworld now was ruled by two of reliability, Gomamon and Agumon honored and known for bravery. From one place they'd decided to lead, the Digiworld's most shining bead. The theatre, the place of every day's feast, with battles, comedy, music, karaoke and plays. All digimon came there from north, south, west and the east. It's female star was Arukenimon a classic example of a primadonn' her love, and as well a star was Mummymon behaving like a male primadonna. The theatre was famous for its choir and ballet, Pixi-and Floramons nice and coquet. Their teacher was a former dancer, LadyDevimon; she was demanding but still quite handsome. Her ballet-dancing daughter was Lillymon. The stage, sets, curtain and all constructional stuff was Wizardmon's job, he was good at it, no clumsy muff. There was a new member in the troupe, with fighting skills and the voice of an angel. She had lost someone she had never known; Angewomon was the name of her own.

The digimon liked this place to go there, it was like a never-ending, happy funfair. But since a few years strange things occurred, small accidents, some digimon had even been severely hurt. A shadow was seen scurrying along the panes, digimon were found half dead, no drop of blood remained in their veins. To make Gomamon and Agumon get the lead, the former director would have taken an oath that there were no rumors of… a ghost. The choirgirls shivered in their desire to make Wizardmon tell his stories of a vampire. This, of course, was not good for the business, so Gomamon and Agumon were demanded for a patron; the one who answered was Angemon.

Everyone knew what no one dared to say, as they feared they would have to pay. The dread which had unfurled, confirmed the reign of… The Phantom of the Digiworld!" Semiramis makes a curtsy and withdraws while the stage begins to change until the audience stands in the Digiworld.

A/N: I'd like to thank AthEnA1999 for doing the Beta for me... and believe me... correcting my grammar is a very! hard job:P
