Rebirth Of Darkness
[A/N: Let me see…a rewrite
of my Digi-destined-digimon thing. I
know I never finished it, but I gave up on it because it sucked. That's what I do; I abandon fics if I think
they suck until I get a better idea.
Yippee for me. Japanese terms,
but with American names most of the time.
Generally, we come in when the Digi-destined, all of them, are fighting
Ladydevimon. And here we go with the
darkness… By the way, the word 'rime'
is pronounced 'rim' and is another word for frost or ice…you'll see when you
read the fic.]
[Disclaimer: You know,
legally I don't need this anymore.]
A
cold wind blew across the black dirt canyons as the Digi-destined glared up
towards Ladydevimon. She had fallen
silent, seemingly waiting for something.
"Oi,
devil woman, what're you floating around for?" Shinji called up, "Waiting for
backup?" Ladydevimon smirked and
laughed through her nose, looking towards the Ninth Child.
"How
very funny that you of all people should ask that." the digimon snickered, "I've
been waiting a very long time for this!"
She cast her sights towards the skies again.
Piedmon
stared through his telescope, wondering what his Nightmare Soldier was doing.
All
was silent on the black canyons. Then,
quite suddenly, a bolt of lightning thundered down, very close to where the
Digi-destined were standing.
"Finally!"
Ladydevimon cried happily, "It has been years, but now…Welcome the return of
your doom, Children!" Lightning crashed
down again, and then, the bolts of raw electricity wouldn't stop. The combined charge of energy would run
through the humans and digimon alike, causing them all to look about.
"What's
going on?" TK tugged on Matt's shirt and whispered, "Matt, what does she mean?"
Piedmon
stared at Ladydevimon, still wondering what was happening. Suddenly, he too felt a strange force, but
it felt…it felt as if it were within the walls of the citadel. He looked away from the telescope and turned
slightly in his throne. Crackling bolts
of electricity wound their ways up through a hallway, winding up from the
direction of…
"Ladydevimon's
chambers?" the Dark Master murmured.
The electricity paused at the entrance to the room, and then shot into
the room.
Off
in the darkened distance, the final stronghold of the Dark Masters exploded
without warning. The Digi-destined
turned towards the red and orange inferno that used to be the headquarters of
the Dark Masters in shock and horror.
The
source of the power that destroyed the citadel survived the explosion, and flew
at Ladydevimon with inconceivable speed.
It instantly stopped in between the demon's hands, and floated
there. It looked like a completely
black orb of some type.
The
lightning continued to crash down without pause. The already dark gray sky overhead began to become as dark as the
orb and the thunder seemed to become even louder than before.
"What's
going on?" Tai looked about, "What's with all the black?" Ladydevimon let out a loud and long laugh,
staring intently down towards the Digi-destined. The orb in her hands began to pulse with an aura of darkness and
the ground began to rumble.
The
digimon shifted so they stood closer to their respective partners, looking
about to see their unseen enemy. The
rumbling grew stronger and the children struggled to keep their footing. Then, the ground literally bulged beneath
Shinji, and Myotismon was thrown a few yards away. The dry and sandy dirt cracked beneath the Ninth Child, and she vanished
into the ground.
"Shinji!"
Myotismon shouted, struggling to regain his footing. He finally stood, but then, just as suddenly as before, the
ground sealed up and returned to normal.
Ladydevimon laughed again, and the Digi-destined glared.
Shinji
opened her eyes slowly and looked about.
She hadn't fallen unconscious, but the…
She shook her head and tried to remember what exactly happened.
The
ground opened up…and then…falling into darkness and being blinded by the
darkness…
"I'm
still in the darkness!" the Ninth Child sighed, looking around, "What in the
world happened?"
"Ah,
so you've finally come back to the darkness…" a chillingly cold voice
hissed. "Hey, who's out there?" Shinji
called, "Let me see you!" A clawed hand
clapped down on her shoulder and squeezed tight. "Haven't the others told you?" the voice, a deep, dark voice
asked, "Haven't they told you about me?"
"I
wouldn't know." Shinji half-smirked, "I can't see your face." "I am Devimon." the voice said. "Devimon?" Shinji blinked, still unable to
move, "I thought that TK and Patamon deleted you a long while ago." "Indeed, but digimon can be reborn with
time." Devimon replied, tapping his fingers across Shinji's shoulder.
"So,
what's the point of taking me into this weird place?" Shinji continued,
seemingly unafraid, "Is this about Myotismon betraying the darkness?" "Oh, not at all." Devimon replied, "This has
nothing to do with him." "OK." Shinji
tried again, "Why'd you take me? I know
that Myotismon can go Mega, but Tai and Matt's digimon have much more
experience than he does."
Devimon
chuckled lightly. "Oh, this is entirely
about you." the demon replied, "I had no intention of bringing any of the
others into this." "All right." Shinji
sighed, nearly angrily, "So, for the last time, why on earth did you bring me
here?"
"Why
shouldn't have I?" the devil creature asked, "My dear, dear daughter." "Your WHAT?!" Shinji wrenched her shoulder
free of Devimon's grasp and turned to face him, "I'm not of any relation to
you!"
"But
you are." Devimon gently took Shinji's chin in his hand, "You are my and Ladydevimon's
daughter." Shinji slapped away his hand
and snapped, "Is this some twisted illusion Piedmon created? I'm not of any relation to you!" Devimon stared Shinji straight in the eye,
and then grinned.
"Piedmon
is dead." the devil creature smirked coldly, "He deserved it for trying to bed
you." "But you're a Champion!" Shinji
was stunned, "Even you and Ladydevimon combined wouldn't have enough power to
defeat a Mega!"
"Ah,
the beauty of the entire plan." Devimon continued to grin, "Still, we are your
parents, and you should obey your parents.
With a shout, Shinji kicked towards Devimon's head. The devil creature grabbed her ankle and
threw the Ninth Child on her back.
"You
aren't my father!" Shinji insisted again, "My father was Shazaki Kagato, a dojo
master! And my mother was Shazaki Rei,
a government official, not Ladydevimon!"
She flipped to her feet and threw a punch. Devimon grabbed her fist and snickered. "I can feel the power that you have, even when you haven't
trained." the demon digimon smiled. "I
trained under my father!" Shinji slammed her foot into Devimon's stomach.
"You
haven't trained under me yet, but Kagato was a wonderful substitute." Devimon
grinned after stepping back from the kick, "No wonder you don't want to agree
with your real bloodline. Rei and
Kagato were absolutely wonderful parents to you. I'm sorry they had to die."
Suddenly,
his hand shot out from his side and clamped over Shinji's head. The heel of his hand covered her eyes and
the Ninth Child struggled to move the demon's hand.
"But
if you cannot remember, I will show you my memories of when you were just a
small child." Devimon hissed, "When your mother and I took care of you."
And
then, quite suddenly, Shinji saw the strangest thing.
Herself
as a child, sleeping in Ladydevimon's arms.
Shinji
stared on in shock and slight amazement.
Her younger self stirred and looked up at Ladydevimon with eyes that did
not reflect the light. "Okaasan?" the
young child murmured. Ladydevimon just
smiled—a strange expression for the demon—and shifted the child in her
arms. The young Shinji closed her eyes
and drifted back into sleep.
Then,
just as suddenly as before, she was back in the world of darkness with
Devimon. He was holding her as if she
had fallen, kneeling down on the ground with her in his arms.
"Otousan…"
Shinji said slowly, unable to deny the truth.
"Yes?" Devimon smirked. Shinji
just sighed slightly and said, "So, are we to fight the other Digi-destined?" Devimon smirked again, and then said, "Look
at your hand." Shinji moved her hand in
front of her face and stared; she had black claws.
"You
have begun to abandon your humanity." Devimon explained, "But you can't truly
become yourself until all of your human tendencies are gone. And that means you must delete your human
memories." Shinji continued to stare at
her hand, thinking over what her father had said. Memories of Myotismon ran through her mind, but then, she nodded
resolvedly.
"Good."
Devimon smiled, "When you wake up, I will teach you and train you. Welcome back to the darkness." He put his hand on her forehead, and
everything went black.
Ladydevimon
gasped in pain as Angemon's Hand of Fate slammed into her. It had been only five minutes since the
strange disappearance of the Ninth Child, and everyone's rage had been forced
out against Ladydevimon, and the Ultimate level demon was beginning to lose.
"This
is it, demon witch!" Angewomon cried, "Celestial Arrow!" Ladydevimon's eyes widened; this was the
kill-blow—
"HAND
OF RIME!"
The
arrow of light was abruptly counteracted by a storm of ice, just as the voice
had shouted. The shaft of ice that used
to be the Celestial Arrow crashed down to the ground and everyone looked up
towards Ladydevimon.
"No…"
Myotismon whispered, "It can't be…"
What appeared to be a teenager of nineteen was literally hovering before
Ladydevimon. They were dressed in a
loose black t-shirt with a gray vest and black pants. They also wore what looked like normal graying sneakers and
gloves with the fingers cut off and long wrists.
"What
can't be?" Tai turned to face the vampire digimon. Myotismon seemed to be shaking with fear, a cold sweat on his
brow. "No…" the Ultimate level digimon
murmured again, "How could she be a Protector?"
"Who?"
Matt looked at the digimon as well, "Who is that?" "Look!" Kari insisted, "Look at her eyes!"
It
was…Shinji?
But
it was; even without the light, her eyes were still that strange midnight blue.
Shinji
laughed in a very psychotic tone and said, "So, you're my new enemies?" She looked directly at TK and Kari and
laughed again. "Yes!" she cackled, "The
Children of the Light! You are my
enemies!" Immediately, Angemon and
Angewomon flew in front of the two Children of Light.
"BLOODY
CLAW!" Shinji shouted. In a flash of
red energy, she had struck both of the digimon across the face. The angels let out twin cries of pain as
they fell to the blackened dirt.
Before
TK or Kari could move, Shinji had grabbed them by the shoulder and
grinned. "You two will die by my hands."
she chuckled, "Bolt of Darkness!" Dark
electricity gathered around her gloved hands, and then it vanished. TK and Kari let out horrible screams of pain
as the dark electricity coursed through their veins.
The
last thing the children heard and saw was Shinji, and she said, "This is the
rebirth of darkness, and the light must die."
