Chapter Two of "Millenniumon's Revenge"

By Melinda Cadarette

Whew! I finally finished this! Sorry for the long delay! And thanks for the reviews! I dedicate this chapter to my patient readers.

Note: Writing about Ryo is difficult and my knowledge of the Wonderswan games is not perfect so mistakes may occur. Please kindly inform me if you notice any. I'll be very grateful.

Extra Note: Many thanks to Chris McFeely, creator of The Digimon Encyclopedia creator of To Bring Yesterday fics are required reading for any fan of Ryo and Millenniumon, and the creator of the website Ryo Akiyama (http://akiyama.ryo.nu). Without such indirect help, this story would be impossible.

Ryo was all alone in the Digital World.

He saw that he was in a barren part of the Digital World. Sand and rocks covered the landscape. He had been to many places but at least he had Cyberdramon. Now he was all alone.

"Hello? Can anyone hear me? Is anyone here? Beside me?" Ryo called out. No one replied. Not even the wind answered him.

'This is bad. I went to the Digital World to fight Millenniumon but Cyberdramon is not here. How am I suppose to fight a Digimon without a Digimon to fight for me?' Ryo thought. 'If I only could remember what happened the last time I defeated Millenniumon! But my mind is so fuzzy! Maybe Illusamon could come back and restore some of my memories!' But like Cyberdramon, Illusamon was nowhere to be found. Ryo started to walk.

It was a good thing that Ryo was in the Digital World since he had to walk for two hours straight before he saw something. He did not get hungry, thirsty, tired or sore. He did not feel any different from the first minute he went into the Digital World. He then saw a canyon. He walked down the stairlike formation at the right side. He was now on the canyon floor.

"At least I haven't seen Millenniumon! But he must be searching for me! I don't know what to do. Where is Cyberdramon when I need him?" Ryo asked himself. Just then he lifted his head up. "Digi-Gnomes! Maybe they can find Cyberdramon for me!" He then waved his arms. "Hey Digi-Gnomes! Could you find Cyberdramon for me? What are you doing?"

Ryo witnessed the four Digi-Gnomes forming a square formation in the air. They then moved clockwise until there was light forming in the middle. Then they went closer and closer to one another until they produced a small circle. The light brightened. They then pulled away from the light. It formed into a small yellow ball.

"Okay", Ryo said. "What is this suppose to do-ah!"

The ball of light then went onto his hands and then leaped into his chest. All of a sudden he felt great power in him. His eyes became glazed with yellow light. He could not move or do anything. The Digi-Gnomes then flew away. Ryo could not respond until he felt the power go down and his eyes returned to normal. He looked up.

"Hey come back! I need to ask you a few things!  It's too late! They can't hear me", Ryo said. The Digi-Gnomes were now just a speck in the sky. "What did they do to me? They gave me some sort of power but they didn't tell me how to use it. And it didn't revive any of my memories! What do I do?" He then leaned against a tall rock.

Ryo suddenly lost his balance as the earth started to rumble beneath his feet. He fell down. He got up to see a group of Jagamon charging at him. He quickly went up the rock before the Jagamon could trample him. He watched in horror as they all scrambled up the stairlike formation and saw a few fell off and got deleted as a result. They then went out of sight. The whole thing lasted only thirty seconds.

"Okay, what just happened here?" Ryo asked himself. He stared at the stairlike formation. "Why did they run so fast? What Digimon could they be running from?" It was then that he realized that he was alone again. He felt unnerved by all of this. He knew that the Digimon that caused the Jagamon to run away must be near. He proceeded to turn his head.

However, he did not completely accomplish this when a blast close to him knocked him out of the rock and onto the ground. He laid there unconscious.

The Digimon that frightened the entire Jagamon group to the point that they were willing to trample one another to escape was none other than the Millenniumon clone. The evil Digimon now looked at the boy.

"What do I have here? A human? Maybe this one is the kid that I have to destroy. It does not matter. He is in my way. He will have to be eliminated" the Millenniumon clone spoke. It was then that he noticed the boy had regained consciousness and was getting up. "So he is awake? Tell me, boy, what is your name?"

"My name is Ryo Akiyama. Who are you?" Ryo asked, wiping the dirt from his pants.

"You don't remember me? You thwarted my plans to take over the world and all the dimensions. I would return and yet you would defeat me. I even tried to infect you yet that didn't work", the Millenniumon clone then saw Ryo's puzzled face. "You don't remember any of this do you?"

"No" Ryo answered. "But I assume you're Millenniumon".

The Millenniumon clone chuckled. "Kukukuku. Poor Ryo. Poor little Ryo. Poor little amnesiac Ryo. You lost your memory.  You don't remember your powers or at least you don't know how to use them. So tell me if you know at least my name, then how do you expect to defeat me?"

'Good question. I wish I knew', Ryo thought. He knew that Millenniumon was right. He couldn't remember how he ealier defeated Millenniumon. Without such knowledge fighting Millenniumon was useless.

"Ah, so you realize that there is no way to beat me. Well I'll be easy on you. I'll completely annihilate you instead of killing you slowly. Without the bond that the former Millenniumon had with you, I have no qualms of doing so. You are alone. And there is nothing you can do to stop me!" the Millenniumon clone proclaimed.

Sweat went down Ryo's face. His mind raced with thoughts of home, his parents, his friends and his Digimon. Where was Cyberdramon? He knew that the Digital World is a vast place. Even at top speed it would take months to explore it all. He was alone with a Digimon that was about to destroy him. He saw Millenniumon preparing to attack. He was doomed. He prepared for the worst.

"Desolation Claw!"

Cyberdramon appeared, it seems out of nowhere and came to the Millenniumon clone's side. He tore at it with his claw. The great dark Digimon roared and swiped back, causing the other Digimon to go into the ground back first.

"Cyberdramon!" Ryo yelled, happy to see his Digimon but he was concerned as well.

"Make me bigger!" Cyberdramon yelled back, getting up from the ground.

"Huh? Of course!" Ryo grabbed his digivice from the ground. (He dropped it when the Millenniumon clone almost blasted him.) A wave of dizziness came over him. Still he took the digivice and searched for the card in his pockets. He knew that Millenniumon was going to kill Cyberdramon. He already heard Millenniumon laughing as Cyberdramon waited. There was no time to waste.

"I found it! Card Slash! Make Cyberdramon bigger!" Ryo yelled as he slid the card through his digivice.

"You think you can defeat me with a card? You really are pathetic. I should kill you all now and what?" the Millenniumon clone became shocked as the other Digimon grew in size. "What is happening?"

"Go get him Cyberdramon!" Ryo shouted.

"Desolation Claw!" Cyberdramon said as he started to attack the evil Digimon. However, the Millenniumon clone lunged out his own claws at the other Digimon. They locked their claws at each other as they engaged in a shoving match.

"Beat him Cyberdramon!" Ryo shouted.

"You can fight with me? I have to hand it to you- you have great power! Come join me and we can rule the Digital World together!" the Millenniumon clone said.

"I shall never join you!" Cyberdramon replied. "I will never leave Ryo!"

"What a sad waste of power! You're just like a puppy! A puppy of a little boy! My Dimension Destroyer attack is too good for you! Instead-" his claws then grabbed Cyberdramon's throat. Ryo gasped. "-I'll slowly strangle you while your master helplessly watches on".

"Cyberdramon!" Ryo yelled. "Let him go Millenniumon!"

"I shall deal with you as soon as I get rid of your Digimon", Millenniumon said to Ryo.

"Gah…" Cyberdramon managed to say. The red-eyed Digimon simply laughed. Ryo looked on with gritted teeth and clenched fists.

'This is serious! I got to find a way to free Cyberdramon before Millenniumon destroys him! I can't just watch this! What kind of Tamer would watch his Digimon die?' Ryo thought. 'Cyberdramon is going to be digital data. But what can I do when I can't even remember how I defeat Millenniumon before?'

"Kukukuku!!! I enjoy this very much! I can't believe that a little boy and a little puppy like you beat my predecessor! Now I shall turn you into data! Then I shall absorb your data and I shall become even more powerful! And no one in all the dimensions would be able to stop me!" the Millenniumon clone proclaimed.

Ryo felt like he was going to explode. Anger filled his head. He could not take it anymore. Then a glow of yellow light came over his eyes. He saw Millenniumon and Monodramon- Ryo thought it was Monodramon- in his mind. They jogressed and an egg with a purple and gold band appeared. Ryo could not understand any of it. He knew that Monodramon could evolve into Cyberdramon. Was there a connection between Cyberdramon and Millenniumon?

His head then cleared up. He saw that Millenniumon was still strangling Cyberdramon. It was the breaking point for Ryo.

"Let him go!" Ryo yelled. The Millenniumon clone did not answer but instead took a tighter hold at Cyberdramon's throat. That did it for Ryo.

"I said let him go!" Ryo shouted as yellow light came out of his hand and formed into an arrow. He then threw it at the Millenniumon clone.

The Millenniumon clone roared in pain as the arrow pierced its dark skin. "How can this be happening? I am the clone of Millenniumon, the great dark God Digimon! I cannot be killed! You cannot destroy the darkness!" He shouted. "Kukukuku!!!"

"What's so funny?" Ryo asked.

"I may have been defeated but remember that I am only a copy of the real Millenniumon. The original Millenniumon is out there in the Digital World waiting for you. I shall have the last laugh. You haven't seen the last of Millenniumon!" He ended with a great laughter as he deleted before Ryo's eyes.

"Well that is over with", Ryo said, turning away from the scene. "Now that I got that over with, I can-" It was then that Cyberdramon saw something black heading his partner's way.

"Ryo!" Cyberdramon yelled. Ryo was about to turn his head when he felt something hit him in the neck. His eyes went wide and he fell down on the ground. He saw a vision of the boy from his dream that was hit in the neck after he pushed Ryo out of the way. He knew that this was what was happening to him right now. Pain coursed through his body from his neck down. He was sure now it was the same thing. He went unconscious.

"Ryo!" Cyberdramon called out but his partner laid still on the ground. He roared in frustration.

At the same time a few Digi-Gnomes saw the action from high above. They then flew away. ShadowIllusamon also saw what happened and went off. Both the Digi-Gnomes and ShadowIllusamon had to report to a higher power.

A short time afterward, two entities (seen as two balls of light) had a conversation. It went like this:

Entity #1: It has been reported that Ryo has been defeated.

Entity #2: It has also been reported that he managed to destroy the Millenniumon clone but a part of the clone went into Ryo. I do not like the sound of that.

Entity #1: A similar thing happened to the second Chosen Child who became corrupted and tried to take over the Digital World. I do not need to remind you what happened in some of the dimensions.

Entity #2: In any case, Ryo is in no condition to face the real Millenniumon. We have to send another Chosen Child to defeat him. I suggest we choose the second Chosen Child that became corrupted but then overcame the virus. We do not know whether Ryo could be lost like the second Chosen Child in some of the dimensions. We would have no choice but to have him destroyed.

A long silence followed. Entity #1 decided to break the silence.

Entity #1: We should send a message to the second Chosen Child that overcame the virus that corrupted him. Which one of us should do it?

Entity #2: I shall do it. You should focus on the Tamers from Ryo's present dimension. Millenniumon has to be stopped.

Entity #1: You contact the second Chosen Child who met Ryo and I shall try to contact Ryo's current dimension. We should let the second Chosen Child stop Millenniumon however. Ryo is hurt. The Tamers are needed to take him back so he can get help. If he returns to the Digital World, we must monitor him.

Entity #2: Then I shall the Ken Ichijouji that met Ryo, became corrupted but overcame the virus and saved his Digital World. I shall make him come here. I shall tell him what happened and trained him so he can fight Millenniumon. In the meantime you shall try to contact Ryo's current dimension. We should bear in mind that we must prevent Millenniumon from knowing that the Tamers are in the Digital World. He'll use anything to destroy Ryo, even using the other children as a trap. Therefore we must keep Millenniumon occupied until the second Chosen Child is ready to face him.

Entity #1: Then I shall make a plan. We must do it without delay. So let us start now.

Entity #2: I agree. Let us meet again and discuss what happened after a time.

Entity #1: Acknowledged. The conversation ends now.

At that the conversation of the two entities ended.

"Millenniumon-sama!" ShadowIllusamon said as he ran to his master. "I have come to report to you about the battle between your clone and Ryo!"

"Did my clone defeat him?" Millenniumon asked.

"No-no my lord", ShadowIllusamon replied. "But Ryo was defeated as well".

"That is impossible! How could they be defeated together?" the red-eyed Digimon questioned.

"It is really Cyberdramon's fault!" ShadowIllusamon exclaimed. "He came in time to give Ryo enough time to destroy your clone but I saw a part of your clone come out and struck Ryo in the neck! He's unconscious now".

"Did you say a part of him went into Ryo?" Millenniumon questioned.

"Yes my master", ShadowIllusamon responded.

"This is interesting. I wonder what effect this might have on the boy" Millenniumon mused. He then looked down at the Dark-Digivolved Rabbit Digimon. "Go back to where Ryo is. Keep an eye on him. I want to make sure that he is not going to continue to be a threat to me at least not until it's too late". He then emitted a mechanical-sounding laugh.

"I shall do so", ShadowIllusamon nodded. He was afraid of facing Cyberdramon but realized that as long as he did not go into the canyon it was likely that Cyberdramon would notice him. He then went off back to the direction of the canyon.

"So Ryo defeated my clone but was defeated by the clone as well", Millenniumon said. "This twist of irony could be of use to me. Still I wonder how he managed to destroy my clone without any knowledge of any previous encounters. I doubt that Cyberdramon could have helped him. Is it possible that he had help from another source? I am concerned that some power from the Digital World might be meddling in my plans. However it seem to have backfired". He paused. "As I speak my army of Digimon is conquering parts of this Digital World. By the time the real world notices anything it would be too late! Then I shall use it as a starting point to conquer the real world and other dimensions!" He then noticed the presence of two Digimon behind him. "I see my two generals have arrived. I have much to discuss with them". He then turned around and went to them. The next step of his plan is going to start soon.

End of Chapter Two

I hope this is accurate and good so far. My knowledge of the Wonderswan games is good but not perfect. Those with more knowledge are welcome to contact me. I would also like to know whether my readers would want the third chapter to take place in the Tamers universe or Ken's universe. It doesn't matter which you pick- I will be doing the fourth chapter in the other dimension. Digimon was created by Toei Animation. And do not forget to review!
