I don't own digimon.

Previously...

Basically, a bunch of people placed their trust in other people, resulting in a whole bunch of death and/or actions leading to their eventual demise.

All you really need to know at the moment is of a blackgatomon-human-slime hybrid named Victoria, her partner LadyDevimon. That's all.

If you want a better understanding, go read the improved DA03 followed by Project Digital, finishing with DAO.

Chapter 1

Family

"Ready to go?"

Victoria smiled. Things were finally getting back to normal, if one could call it that. More of, it had returned to the point of "weird, yet sensible". She turned to face her partner, LadyDevimon. While not the first one she had, but it was a fact the hybrid could live with.

"Yep." She answered, heading out the door of her home. Outside, a lush forest of trees and plants greeted them, ready to be hindrances to the the hybrid and her demonic angel thing. Not that the plants ever could be, judging from Victoria's butterfly swords and LadyDevimon's Evil Wing attack.

"Just another day in paradise." Victoria remarked and slammed her blades into the trees a few times, knocking the pants up into the air. Strangely, the trees exploded into firewood on the way down.

"Good job, mistress." A voice responded and Victoria turned around. Standing before her, was a teenage girl about her age. Unlike her, she was dressed in a dark blue dress with a red flame pattern embroidered on. The dress barely went down to her knees, revealing a pair of matching high heel boots that went up to the bottom of her dress. Her long nails were painted dark blue, slightly contrasting with her long burgundy hair and chocolate brown eyes. For some reason, she had decided to carve the symbol of courage into her right hand and the symbol for friendship on the left. A set of katanas hung to her back, clashing with the black collar around her neck. On said collar, was a silver tag with a black cat face printed on it. Beside her, was a midget girl. Unlike her master, she was dressed in a white bra and gym shorts along with a pair of black high heel boots that went past her knees. Strangely, there appeared to be some sort of toe bones attached to the front of each boot. The top half of a guilmon's skull hung onto her head, complimenting her tiny metal gauntlet and shrunken down broadsword zanpakuto.

"Thank you, Deanna." Victoria answered as Deanna walked up to them. The foursome then headed forth through the jungle, cutting down any obstacles that blocked them. "How have things been?"

"Pretty good now that you're back." Deanna answered, pulling a spyglass out and stared through it. In the distance, a town of mostly stone and wood buildings stood, surrounded by a massive stone brick wall with savers-sized super ultimate level digimon guarding it. The digidestined then cracked a smile and ran through the forest, her partner following right behind.

"Just like old times." Victoria thought, immediately giving chase.

She was "two" now. In truth it was more of an approximation, mostly due to slimes not aging or growing at all. At the moment, our current protagonist was standing on the edge of a cliff. Below her, stood a group of at least twelve to thirteen figures surrounding a young girl. The hybrid slowly made her way down the cliff, making sure not to tip anyone off. The people were an odd bunch, dressed in black hoods and cloaks for some reason. Even weirder, was the fact that they were just beating the kid up for no apparent reason to her.

"What is the meaning of this?" She announced, getting the attention of the group. "We already have one group of assholes beating people up. Two is just too much."

"How dare you!" A figure announced, pulling a scythe out. Victoria only smiled, pulling both of her butterfly swords out. Unlike now, she took an unsteady offensive stance and waited for her opponent to move. The opponent did just that, only to get their weapon of choice knocked out of their hands.

Dark Fryer!

A purple fireball shot out her left butterfly sword, slamming into the figure. The figure groaned, slamming his scythe towards her. Victoria responded with a few quick stabs and moved onto the other members. Like the first, they fell as quickly as the first.

"Thank you." The girl whispered and Victoria picked her up, slinging her over the hybrid's back. "Where are you taking me?" The girl remarked, her gaze attempting to look at her hands.

"You'll find out soon enough." Victoria answered, giving her a slight conk to the head. Everything went straight to black for her.

When she opened her eyes back up again, she was sitting in a chair stationed around a table. In front of her, was her rescuer.

"Who are you and what am I doing here?" She accused and Victoria laughed.

"I am Victoria Arcana." Victoria answered, only for her nun doll thing to serve the two of them tea. "You're currently in my villa. Now, what is your name?"

"Oh. I'm Deanna Motomiya." Deanna whispered, picking up the teacup and took a drink from it. The tea was alright, even for being her least favorite beverage to drink. But, it was better than nothing. "Thank you for rescuing me."

"No problem."

Deanna looked down at herself, only for a look of terror to form on her face.

"Why is there a collar around my neck?!" She accused and her rescuer giggled.

"To remind you, of course." Victoria answered, cracking a smile. "Safety is rare here. In a way, that collar is both a blessing and a curse."

Deanna snarled, heading right towards Victoria. Victoria immediately went for her butterfly swords, placing both of them against her guest's left arm.

"There could be a chain attached to it. Would you approve of that?"

"No!"

"Just as I thought."

Deanna stopped and took a deep breath. This wasn't a battle she was going to win. Yet, she had won at the same time.

"Now what?" The chosen thought, taking a deep breath. "Train me."

"I like the sound of that." Victoria whispered, leading her guest out of the room they were currently in…

"Has it really been that long?" Deanna mumbled and Victoria nodded. The forest was long gone, with a cluster of stone buildings surrounded by a matching wall taking it's place. All around said wall, stood various super ultimate level digimon. "I guess it's time for the fun."

"Yep." Victoria answered, turning to face LadyDevimon.

BlackGatomon overdrive digivolve too… Selenemon!

LadyDevimon infusion digivolve too… LadySucimon!

Waranamon overdrive digivolve too… Mervamon!

After the evolution sequence, Deanna pulled both of her katanas out. They were your typical affair, a dark blue handle with a silver blade.

"Hey, what about Jestery and Cora?"

The duo turned around, finding the third-person speaking jester standing on the wall. She was dressed in an orange t-shirt splattered with blue dots and a pair of jeans covered in orange dots. A blue and orange court jester hat partially obscured her mess of pink and purple hair, majorly contrasting Beside her, was some girl dressed in a french maid outfit. Strangely, all parts of her visible body minus her long brown hair and red nails was covered in the same white body paint as Jestery. The only other interesting thing about the maid was her reddish orange eyes, which weren't really that interesting at all.

"How dare the author call one of many mastemon that way!" Jestery announced, only for Victoria to laugh.

Scanning...

Mastemon

Super Ultimate, Despair

Special Moves: Chrono Kick, Time Freeze, Chaos Degrade, Knife of Prosperity

.

Victoria: Mastemon don't look like that.

Jestery: I could say the same about LadyDevimon, Mom.

Deanna: What did you do, Victoria?

"Yes, mom, please tell your esteemed guest what you did." Jestery taunted and the black cat sighed.

.

Digital World, Cycle 1

LadyDevimon only stood there. In front of her, sat a large white egg covered in a rainbow of colored dots. As much as she and Piedmon wanted to keep the child, they wouldn't let them keep her. Even then, this wasn't how things were supposed to go. But they had forgotten to factor in one thing. She took a deep breath, reverting back to her blackgatomon form. After doing that, a teenage girl walked in. She was pretty, judging from her violet Lolita dress with multiple black and purple petticoats that somehow barely went past her knees. Black fishnet stockings covered her arms and legs, complimenting her violet high heels. Long black hair flowed down to her waist, finish off with her dark blue eyes.

"I'm sorry, but orders are orders." The girl announced, pulling out a set of butterfly swords. They were interesting set of blades, consisting of blue felt handle with an iron blade. "Even if one doesn't like them, you sometimes have to just give a nod and continue on."

Dark Lightning Kick!

The black cat soared through the air, slamming her left foot into the opponent's head.

"When big sis Valerie find out about this, she's going to kill you." Her opponent announced and slammed both of her blades into the digimon, only for both blades to bounce off.

Frost Fryer!

A ball of ice shot out of the left butterfly sword, only to slam into Victoria. A block of ice quickly engulfed her, leaving the hybrid immobilized and defenseless. The girl then walked over to the egg, only to do something interesting. She pulled a purple digivice out and tapped it against the egg. The egg shook for a few seconds, only for it to fade out of existence.

"See, that wasn't too hard." The ice shattered, only for the black cat to walk over to her.

"How dare you take what isn't yours." The blackgatomon announced, grabbing hold of the opponent's left butterfly sword and slammed it into her heart. The girl only fell over, leaving her as the only one in the room. She stood over the corpse and placed her left paw on it, absorbing it. After, she walked out of the room and headed off...

.

"Truly pathetic a mother Victoria is." Jestery announced, only for Victoria to walk over to her. During the flashback, Jestery had decided to get down from the wall and just stand on the ground for the moment. Cora was standing beside her, ready to destroy anyone who dare touch her master. Victoria only sheathed her butterfly swords, reverting back to her human form. "Hey, let go of Jestery!"

"What, you're not in the mood for a hug?" Victoria inquired, squeezing her daughter even tighter. "You called me pathethic, you've killed god knows how many people along with many unmentionable things. And yet, you're still my daughter."
Jestery only smiled as Deanna, Cora and their digimon took on VictoryGreymon. Strangely, this was actually an even fight for the foursome.

"Take this." Victoria whispered, handing Jestery her butterfly swords. "They're yours."

"Don't you need them?" Jestery answered, only to notice a new set of butterfly swords hanging on the hybrid's dress. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"Possibly."

The two then smiled pulling their respective blades out.

"Little challenge before we head our separate ways?" Jestery suggested and Victoria pulled her new butterfly swords out. Unlike her previous set, the weapons had a purple handle with a much longer black blade.

"Sounds wonderful." Victoria answered and took a deep breath.

Butterfly Rain!

Little purple butterflies fluttered down around Jestery, only to turn into a rain of knives.

Jestery Trick: Corpse Slap!

Jestery then took her hat off, dumping out the body of a very much alive Mokoto Noegi.

"Hey!" The luckster announced, only to get stabbed in the head with Jestery's switchblade.

"That's a reference, viewer!" Jestery announced for Victoria to roll her eyes.

"You're not supposed to tell them that's a reference." Victoria explained, dodging the swinging corpse.

"These are the most oblivious people in existence." Victoria groaned and sliced the corpse apart. While she did feel slightly sorry for the person, there was nothing she could do about it at the moment. She made quick work of the corpse, only to find her opponent getting bored. "One more attack?"

Victoria nodded, her butterfly swords getting engulfed in violet colored energy. As that happened, Jestery equipped her butterfly swords, which now had an ebony handle with a silver-iron blade.

Black Cat End!

Jester's Embrace!

The two swung their respective weapons towards each other, only to get knocked back by the shockwave created by their attacks.

"It's a draw!" Deanna announced, only for Cora to roll her eyes.

"Thank you, captain obvious." Cora remarked, only for an idea to come to her.

Time Freeze-Chrono Kick combo!

A few seconds later, time froze and Cora kicked Deanna. After, time returned to normal and the maid walked over to the jester.

"Well, it's time for us to go." Jestery explained, placing something in Victoria's now free left hand. "Until we meet again, mom."

"You too, Jestery." Victoria answered, only for Jestery and Cora to teleport away…

.

"There they are." A voice remarked, staring through a telescope. He was dressed simply, just a black coat with a brown t-shirt underneath and a pair of jeans to boot. His light brown hair was cut extremely short, going well with his auburn eyes. A kendo stick hung to his back, ready to be used. "Time to finish what we started."

Notes:

This chapter took far too long to write. But, it was worth it.

Originally, the previous blurb was actually a lot longer and summarized the plot of DA03. But, it didn't seem to work and just dragged on.

Finally, this was all planned since the beginning of Advent of Chaos. There were even a few hints thrown in, not that anyone noticed it.

Next Time: A little "rune" and board, that should be good for the night...
