Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. I do not own the characters of this fanfic, save the five that I created. I will get no money from this...

Author's Notes: Time for the sequel to One Last Chance.... Here, the last of the foes should be cleaned up (not completely, though; I have to leave something for a sequel..) I'm thinking of another tale set in Tamers...when it gets here.

I'm still working out that humour fic, in case anybody cares...please review?

(Update May 29 01) Okay, time to retool the plot. I decided to rework it a bit (and lengthen it), partly because brother-induced fury caused me to upload this before it was ready.....Sorry. I hope that this is better...

Part I: Darkness' Cruelty

MaloMyotismon was in pain. First, those Digidestined had blasted him with every attack they had. Then, the hope of the world nearly destroyed him, and the Giga Death...he considered himself lucky to have survived, thanking whatever had given him the foresight to absorb Arukenimon and Mummymon instead of simply destroying him.

Those two had saved him; by blocking the attack, they had given him a chance to escape. But Owikawa's light hounded him, chasing him until he found a way into the Dark Ocean.

The Dark Ocean...

He had been wrong earlier; this was where he could be the strongest. He wandered the realm for a time, meeting various dark spirits and Digimon. He had some trouble; Dragomon, for instance, had sparred with him for a time, then parted paths.

Come to think of it, Dragomon had been more powerful than he had anticipated, for an Ultimate. Perhaps the Dark Ocean could strengthen evil? He had naught to do but wait; the portal had closed, and only a tremendous amount of dark power would open it again. Time passed, and eventually, MaloMyotismon spotted a creature he had met before.

Hello again, Daemon.

MaloMyotismon. All along, you were the power behind the throne.

Yes, that fool was a useful tool. Honestly, he wanted to go there?

I should have known that Owikawa could never have come up with that sort of plan on his own. You, you were the one who used the Dark Spores for yourself.

So? What can you do? Thanks to the Dark Flowers, I have recovered my full strength. You cannot do anything to harm me.

On the contrary; my power, through the Spores, giveth, my power taketh away. To back up his statement, Daemon lifted his arms, causing a dark energy to leak away from the vile vampire.

What?! You can't do this to me! I'll destroy you before you take this power away! Crimson Mist! MaloMyotismon stood up to his full height, and unleashed the deadly blood-coloured gas.

Daemon laughed as MaloMyotismon's greatest attack dispersed harmlessly against his robes. As if to add insult to injury, he began to grow to a tremendous height.

How...how can this be? I was the master of darkness...I was the most powerful foe those kids faced!

If you had paid attention to my battle with the Digidestined, you would have realized that I am the master of darkness. So long, my rival. Evil...Inferno! The blast of fire engulfed MaloMyotismon.

No...not again!

It will be different. In the Real World, you can gain power after death'. In the Digital World, you can be reborn. Here, and Daemon increased the power of his flames, you simply die.

With one last scream of pain, the evil that was Myotismon was ended at last. The wave of darkness unleashed by his final death tore a hole in the realm, lasting long enough for a single creature to enter the Digital World.

Daemon knew that he would soon have revenge.
———————————————————————————————————————
Azulongmon was patrolling his sector of the Digital World when he sensed a disturbance. He decided to investigate, and found that a portal had opened to the Dark Ocean.

Daemon, you've returned!

The master of darkness laughed. The power that MaloMyotismon stole from me was all I needed. Now, I can wreak my fury upon the Digidestined.

Not while we four live!

Those children aren't being too helpful; you are the only one who is truly free. And as for the while you live' part...that won't be too long. Evil Inferno!

The flames of chaos flooded over the serpent of light, bringing him to the ground.

We...can still win...

Oh, those two heroes? I'll admit that they are powerful, but if turned to evil...you would have quite a mess on your hands, wouldn't you?

You wouldn't...you can't!

I can and I will. No time for further pleasantries; I have things to do, people to see, vendettas to avenge. So long! With that, Daemon opened a gate to the real world, setting off to confront the Digidestined.
