Disclaimer- I don't own Digimon and it's characters. The production company does. This is just a loyal fan's work. However, I own my original characters that take place in this fic series and they may only be used in other fics if the author has written permission from me.
Author's Notes- Third chapter, as you all know, is VERY late being written. Why does my College insist on drowning me in work? They still expect me to finish reading, 'Wuthering Heights' by Tuesday! I spent my holiday reading that book! Ah well, only 2 more chapters to go of that! Hopefully not too many of this left to go either! Enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE- This takes place just after Devimon has been defeated. I've also included some Digimon mythology created by myself too.

Chapter 3-

"Can't we rest just a little bit longer, Joe?" Mimi complained. She, Joe and their Digimon companions had been searching high and low for Izzy for hours with zero luck in finding him. Joe looked around. The four of them had left the forest and came to the edge of a cliff. Joe wasn't at all keen on the prospect of finding and battling the creature that had taken Izzy but, he knew that if they did not fight it, they would never get Izzy back.
'But where IS Izzy and that creature?' Joe asked himself.
"JOE! Are you ignoring me?" Mimi whined at him. "I asked if it was okay to rest longer?"
"But, Mimi." Palmon began. "No-one said that you couldn't rest longer."
"Even though it has been over an hour." Gomamon pointed out.
"Then, why is Joe standing up ready to go, Palmon?" Mimi asked her plant-like Digimon.
"Well... I don't know." Palmon replied. "Gomamon, why is Joe standing up and looking around?"
"I guess he's... I'm not sure either." Gomamon told them, making his way over to Joe, who was staring up at the night sky.
"Joe? Why are you looking up there?" Gomamon queried his friend.
"You don't see anything up there, do you Gomamon?"
Gomamon looked up. The sky was totally dark now except for the moon which shined with a peculiar shadow cast over it.
"That's weird. I never noticed the moon having something in front of it." Gomamon told him. "Take a look down and see if there's a reflection on the water, Joe."
Joe did so and saw the moon's reflection all right but, there was no shadow of anything else! Joe looked back up to check. The moon was still partially clouded by something which wasn't showing up in the water over the edge of the cliff.
"Maybe that thing, whatever it is, up there is just a cloud." Joe offered as an explanation.
"Or an illusion of some kind." Gomamon suggested.
"What do you think, Mimi?" Joe asked. He turned around and observed that Mimi and Palmon had both fallen asleep. Joe and Gomamon both agreed that maybe they were so weary of travelling around the Digital World that they had started to see things. The two of them nested on the ground and fell asleep.

Sora slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She was stuck in a cell, almost like a prison. Dark and gloomy, with a cold floor made up of hard bricks as were the walls. There were no windows or any kind of furniture of decoration. Through strong iron bars which prevented any idea of escaping, she could see a row of tall statues. She recognized Devimon and Nosferatmon but, the other were unrecognisable. One seemed to resemble a monkey with sunglasses and another looked like a vampire with a cape and fangs (You can all guess who these are, I hope! - Jay). Suddenly a voice was heard booming throughout the Lair.
"All of them... Evil Digimon. Masters of darkness like myself."
Nosferatmon appeared out of thin air before Sora. He had managed to alter his size to just above Sora's height yet she was still very intimidated by the monstrous being.
"And like myself... All of them imprisoned by the forces of light many years ago." Nosferatmon told Sora.
"The forces of light?" Sora did not understand what Nosferatmon meant but, he continued to explain.
"The Great Digimon Civil War. Angemon, with his power and that of the crests, could not defeat us. He merely depleted our powers and left us to wander the Digital World like mere commoners when she should have been ruling it with an iron fist! But now, we are strong again. Now, we take what is rightfully ours! We can conquer the Digital World by destroying you children and getting rid of the crests! Devimon may have failed but, myself and my brothers and sisters of the night will go on and succeed!"
Sora couldn't believe it! She had seen what Devimon and Nosferatmon were capable of! What chance did she and the others have against the evil Digimon?
'No...' Sora told herself. 'We can't give up. We took out Devimon so, we can take out this creep!' It was then that Sora remembered another detail. The one that got her here in the first place.
"Where's Izzy?" She demanded to know. Nosferatmon pointed to the Cell next to hers. The wall dissolved, allowing Sora to observe Izzy who simply sat on the floor, staring back at her. But, it was a cold, lifeless stare. It was almost as if he was dead. Sora ran over to him. She could also see Motimon behind him, unconscious. She looked at Izzy. He was motionless.
"Izzy? Izzy, can you hear me?" Sora asked. She got no response. She turned to Nosferatmon. "Why isn't he talking?"
"Put simply my dear, he doesn't know how to. I have taken away all that he knew. He cannot talk. He cannot move. He is simply a newborn embryo. An empty shell, if you will, without a mind or a soul as you will soon be."
Sora looked up at Nosferatmon, terrified. He raised an arm and placed it on Sora's head.
Sora could feel the Lair begin to spin around her. Her vision became so distorted that she soon passed out. Her final thought was of:
'Biyomon...'

There was no realistic way to reach the Island in the sky that Tai and Agumon could see. As he sat on a fallen branch poking a stick at a fire, Tai had a hunch that Nosferatmon had taken Sora, Izzy and Tentomon up there.
"But, what about Biyomon, Tai? Nosferatmon's somehow got her onto his side." Agumon reminded Tai. Not that he needed reminding. Nosferatmon had managed to transform Biyomon into an evil Digimon and increase her power too. The last thing that he needed was Biyomon attacking them again.
"If Biyomon does assault us again Agumon then, we can't hurt her too much or else when she returns to our side, she'll be too weak to battle Nosferatmon."
"You mean IF Biyomon returns to our side, Tai."
Tai was about to respond when some people were heard screaming loudly. He and Agumon jumped up as Mimi, Joe, Palmon and Gomamon ran from a psychotic Biyomon, attacking in all directions! Palmon screeched to a halt and attempted to slow down Biyomon.
"POISON IVY!"
The vines wrapped around Biyomon as Palmon tried to suspend her in the air.
"Good job, Palmon!" Mimi supported her.
"Tai, now that we've got Biyomon all tied up, how are we going to bring her back on our team?" Joe asked the group's leader.
"Well, I guess Palmon'll have to try and squeeze the evil out of Biyomon."
Joe glared at Tai, shocked.
"YOU EXPECT BIYOMON TO REGURGITATE HER EVIL?" Joe shouted at him.
"Have you got any better ideas?" Tai asked him.
***
Nosferatmon watched the struggle unfold. At this rate, Biyomon won't be worth having as an ally. Nosferatmon knew what to do in this situation. He concentrated all his energy that he had stolen from Sora and transferred it to Biyomon. Nosferatmon stumbled backwards, weak from the power transfer but, he knew that whatever he lost, he gained from as well.
***
A flash of white light shot down from the island above the Digidestined's and their Digimon's heads. It surrounded Biyomon and blasted Palmon away into Mimi's arms.
"Palmon!" She cried, before screaming as she noticed what exactly was happening.
"DARK BIYOMON... DIGIVOLVE TO... DARK BIRDRAMON!"
The gang watched as Dark Birdramon appeared, complete with black and red feathers and eyes as white as a sheet.
***
As he watched the Digivolution, Nosferatmon let out a laugh, so loud and so evil, it was heard all across the Digital World.
To Be Continued...
