Okay, first thing I gotta say -giggles- you two (Tamer of the Zero Unit and Jackpot 2) really act like kids. -bursts into laughter- Okay, who got the idea with competing who'll first leave a rewrite?

I really don't care about it, I'm only happy that someone did leave a rewrite. (No offence guys.)

Okay, what should I say...ah yes. School started and I have lot's to learn and do lot's of homework (and they said that the second class'll be easier -.-) so, I think I can only post one chapter per week.

C ya!

P.S. Those who read Digimon X-Battles: Sorry, I won't put in the X-Form for Impmon/Beelzemon in this fic cause first: the X-Mode is equal to the Blast Mode and I doubt I'll need it, second: the X-Form was only thought for X-Battles, and third: ya read that Impmon wasn't much happy becoming an X-Antibody Digimon.

So, enjoy the chapter.

2. Chapter

The Missing Angel, Battle between Friends

"I'll stay here possibly the whole summer. Okay, you can bring me some clothes. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Okay, okay, I can watch out for myself; and yeah, Gatomon'll be by my side." said Haruka throught the phone. On the other side was her mother, who was quite worried and a bit upset. "Greet Ry-nee-chan and Patamon. Bye!"

She then put down the phone and sighed.

"So, that's the last call?" asked Miko.
"Yupp." replied Haruka.
"Okay, since I doubt my aunt wants to pay for the phone calls." said Miko.

The Shadow Hunters were in the house owned by Miko's aunt Midorika, who was momentarly at Chicago in America, on some buissnes trip.

"Pretty cool. We have a whole house for ourselves." said Tsubasa.
"No parties." said Miko. "And don't make any mess."
"Okay, okay. Anyways, we don't know anyone here." said Sara and shrugged. "Whom should we call then?"
"Well, I met a girl when I went here for the first time." said Haruka.
"Her name was Kathrin, or so." added Gatomon. "And she ain't much a friend of the Shadow Tamers. You should've heared what she said about them."
"Since we're talking about the Shadow Tamers, they're 7 pairs, excluding Zia and Gumdramon...and Calumon." said Ryo. "But we're only six pairs."
"So you want to say that we should ask one more Tamer and Digimon to join us?" asked Ami.
"Exactly." nodded Tsubasa. "But the question is who's going to join in."

"BTW, where's that little creep Dracmon?" asked Opossumon.
"I'm not sure, I didn't saw him since yesterday." said Falcomon.
"I think he's already in the city, stalking the Shadow Tamers and Demon Lords, or so." said Dracomon.

[All about us by TATU plays]

That morning, the Shadow Tamers gathered at Chiaki's house at the battlefield. Akari and Airu did some practice with the two bamboo katana swords while the others watched them or talked loudly.

"Okay, so you've known them since before." said Seichi.
"That's right. I, Akari, Impmon and Lilith met Ami, Opposumon, Miko, Monodramon, Sara and Lunamon at the DRA Tournament." said Arisa.
"And we met Tsubasa, Falcomon, Ryo and Dracomon at the Underground Battles." said Akari as she escaped an attack from Airu.
"Lunamon is an Olympus Twelwe and Dracomon a Royal Knight." explained Impmon. "And you know already Gatomon."
"I don't get it. Calu! Gatomon was always so nice. Why is she turning against us? Calu." asked Calumon.
"Gatomon was always a little bit more fierence then Patamon or Lopmon. You saw her how she attacked me when I tried to apologize." said Lucemon. "It was sure that she would join that group."
"And I thought there would be some kind of truce between you and the Celestials." said Gumdramon.
"There is. But Gatomon's not holding on it." said Candlemon.
"I say that we teach them a little lesson." said Betamon. Everyone looked at BlackGatomon who arrived with Akari, Airu and DemiDevimon.
"What are you looking at?" asked BlackGatomon.
"We deceided we'll accept the challange the Shadow Hunters offered us." said Lucemon.
"And that would mean that you'll possibly face Gatomon." said Candlemon.
"I don't like this." said BlackGatomon and sighed.
"Guys, there's something strange about Gatomon." said Arisa.
"How do you mean it?" asked Zia.
"I think that Gatomon might be under the influence of darkness." said Arisa.
"Why do you think that?" asked Damien.
"Well, remember how she and Nanami's DemiDevimon couln't stand holding Akari's Tag and Crest? I talked with Shinzui 'bout it and she says that, since the crests only repel dark and demon type Digimon, except you guys; Gatomon might be on the way to become a fallen angel." said Arisa.
"Gatomon and fallen angel? That's impossible." said Lucemon.
"But you saw it what happened when she touched the Crest." said Impmon.
"I think Arisa's theory might be right, tought Gatomon ain't still a fallen angel Digimon." said Candlemon.
"Though she seems to be close to become one." said Gumdramon. "BTW, I never understood what's all this hopla about fallen angel Digimon."
"Well, Lilith, Lucemon and DemiDevimon are fallen angels." said Arisa.
"That's right. But to become a Fallen Angel, you gotta be influenced by something. In our case we got influenced by the Sin Crests." said Lucemon.
"Any idea what would influence Gatomon?" asked Hiroshi.
"I think it's her anger towards you. That's similar to to a Dark Digivolution. Her anger causes the darkness inside her to rise. The rest you should already know." said Seichi.
"Thanks Proffesor." said Damien with a smirk. "I gotta note that."
"Damien, this really ain't the right moment to joke around." said Akinari.
"Okay boss. Chill down." said Damien, crossing his arms behind his head.
"Calu, and what about Dracmon? Calu." asked Calumon. "He's reminding me on GranDracmon. Calu!"
"Me too." said Phascomon.
"If I wouldn't know it better, I would say he is GranDracmon." said DemiDevimon.
"But, didn't we delete him out of existance?" asked Airu.
"Airu's right, there's no way he could survive that combo of attacks." said Akari.
"You forget that GranDracmon is an Undead Digimon." said Arisa.
"He ain't a zombie." said Akari.
"Well, he looks similar to one." said Gumdramon. Everyone bursted into laughter. "No really."
"Gumdramon's right at one point. GranDracmon's an undead Digimon known as the King of Vampires. That he survived could be possible." said Arisa. "Though, in a much weaker form."
"Okay, so it's deceided. We'll accept the Shadow Hunter's challange and wait till we're sure that Dracmon is GranDracmon. When it's sure, we'll beat him again. He gotta die sometime." said Akinari.
"One thing's sure. With his last defead he definetly ain't anymore the ruler of the Dark Area." said Lucemon.

The others knew what Lucemon was refering to. After GranDracmon's defeat and the comeback of the Demon Lords, most of the Digimon of the Dark Area didn't dare to start a rebelion or something so that the Demon Lords could stay in the Real World with their Tamers leaving Duskmon to watch over the Area. And if there would be anything, the DemiDevimon Messanger would already tell them.

"Hey, Karin!"

A 15 year old girl and had short green hair and brown-orange eyes turned around. She had a red sleeveles T-shirt, white pants and red-white sneakers. A blue jacket was binded around her waist. Next to her was a Lopmon.

She saw a 15 year old boy with dark blue eyes, brown hair and freckles. He wore a blue T-shirt with yellow sleeves and dark blue pants, and dark blue sweat joins. On his head was a Patamon.

That were Karin Matsumi and Ryoma Hinaki, Haruka's younger twin brother.

"Hey, Ryoma, hi, Patamon." greeted Lopmon.
"Hi!" replied Ryoma and Patamon. Ryoma was a bit out of breath.
"What's up with you two? And where are Haruka and Gatomon?" asked Karin.
"That's the problem." said Ryoma. Patamon jumped down from his head.
"Haruka and Gatomon joined Ami's team, the Shadow Hunters. They all went to Yokohama." said Patamon.
"But why should they do that? And why did they join the Shadow Hunters?" asked Lopmon.
"I don't know, but I guess it's about the Shadow Tamers, Ari...I mean Akinari's team." said Ryoma.
"Ah, you mean something like destroy them?" said Karin. "I wouldn't be so worried about the Tamers as much as about the Hunters."
"Still, don't you think we shouldn't go there to prevent them for challening each other?" asked Patamon.
"No, I don't think that will be needed. I mean, that's similar to the Street Battles which were between the Tamers and Hackers." said Karin.
"I'm still worried about Gatomon and Haruka. You know they,...can act a little over the limit. Especially when it's about the Demon Lords." said Ryoma.
"I know, I'm worried about that too." said Karin, crossing her arms and smiled. "In that case, we could join for part time the Shadow Tamers just to make sure Haruka and Gatomon won't overdid it with their attitude."

"So, can you detect Dracmon on the D-Power?" asked Impmon throught the Digital Device.
"Nope." replied Arisa. The Shadow Tamers deceided to go on a little search for the Shadow Hunters; Arisa and Impmon mainly searching for Dracmon since the D-Power could more easily track down (mostly) Digimon then the other Digivices.

"Huh?" Arisa suddenly noticed an another dot. And it was coming towards her. She rose her head and saw Toshi walking towards her. She hid the D-Power.

Toshi Kanbara was a 16 year old guy with short brown hair and dark green eyes. He had a red T-shirt with a golden sign which was similar to Ophanimon's symbol from Digimon Frontier. He wore yellow sweatjoins and brown trousers. On his neck was a necklace with a silver quadrangle locket.

"Oh, hi Toshi." said Arisa, hoping Toshi didn't see her D-Power.
"Hi Arisa, what's up?" greeted Toshi and smiled. "I didn't expect you to see you here."
"Why?" asked Arisa.
"Ya know, your grandmother..." started Toshi.
"Don't worry, my grandmother ain't strict or something like that." said Arisa.
"You look pretty today." said Toshi.
"Really?" replied Arisa. "I'm actually only wearing my old clothes."

They keeped on talking, Toshi mostly giving sweet compliments to Arisa. Impmon, who was on a building and who could hear everything through the D-Power, made a face like he'll vomit.

He looked around, noticing Lucemon who was flying above the city. He whistled, drawing the attention of the angel Digimon.

"What is it?" asked Lucemon.
"Ari-chan met that guy Toshi and now he tries to flirt with her. Can't you somehow tell Akinari to seperate them? I mean, I'd do it with pleasure, but there's a bit too large crowd down there. Ba-Boom!" said Impmon.
"Alright. Though, it would be fun to see the crowd running away." said Lucemon. He actually hoped that he'll see Toshi's embarresed expression. Cheap fun.

Akinari noticed, even before Lucemon told him, that Arisa and Toshi were talking with each other. Though he and Arisa were ONLY friends, he couldn't stand it when Toshi was around her.

"Hey!"

Arisa and Toshi turned to Akinari, who grabed Arisa's hand and started to pull her away from Toshi.

"Akinari, what are you doing?!" yelled Arisa at him.
"Com'n, we got a task to do." replied Akinari. Toshi stepped in front of him.
"Hey, wait, if she dosen't want to go then leave her alone." said Toshi placing his hands on his hips.
"You won't tell me what I'll do, Choshi!" replied Akinari.
"It's Toshi, you moron!" replied Toshi. Both started to quarrel with each other, while Arisa only sweatdropped. She crossed her arms.

"They're acting like little kids. Really mature guys,...really." she commented and pulled out her D-Power. "Impmon,...Lucemon...was this your work?"

The two Demon Lords in the backround didn't reply. They did gulp as they saw Arisa's angry glare as they looked down.

Akari and BlackGatomon where meanwhile going through a section of the park which was covered thicker with bushes and trees.

"Lil..." started Akari.
"Hm?" BlackGatomon rose her head.
"You once told me you and Gatomon where friends. But why does she hate you so much?" asked Akari.
"I think you can't descriebe her feelings as hate." BlackGatomon looked upwards, trying to call back her memories. "Ya know, I was actually chosen for a Celestial Angel."
"Really? You never told me that." said Akari.
"Yes, I was chosen. Actually, we and Phany competed for the status. And I won." said BlackGatomon and looked down. "Though, I knew how much Phany wanted that position. She even tried to look happy as they declared me as the winner."
"What happened next?" asked Akari. BlackGatomon smiled.
"I refused, telling them that Phany was better suited for that position. That made them actually beg me to become a Celestial Angel." BlackGatomon sighed and a grin spread through her face. "Celestial Angel Lilith, so strong, so clever, so gentle, so kind...and yet, so corrupted."
"But, you did give up your position, didn't you?" asked Akari.
"I did. Though, like said, they all saw me as the leading Celestial, not Phany. She was always in my shadow." said BlackGatomon. "I wasn't aware then how much she jelaous was at me. When I became Lilithmon, sure, everyone turned against me."
"And that gave Phany the opportunity to be in the middle of attention." ended Akari.
"Sometimes I wondered if my subconssiciousnes wanted me to become a Fallen Angel just to make Phany happy." said BlackGatomon. "I told her that once, but she treated me like a traitor."

"Because you are one."

The two rose their looks and saw Haruka and Gatomon, standing in front of them.

"You've betrayed everyone when you became a Fallen Angel, Lilith." said Gatomon.
"I got corrupted by GranDracmon if you didn't know that." replied BlackGatomon.
"That dosen't count. If you were a real Celestail you wouldn't we got corrupted so easily. That shows how weak you are." replied Gatomon.
"Maybe I am weak, but I at least admit my weakness." said BlackGatomon.
"What do you want to say?" Gatomon rose her eyebrow.
"That you never admited that you were jelaous at me." said BlackGatomon.
"Why should I admit it? Why should I be jelaous at a Demon Mistress like you? I'd rather die." said Gatomon.
"You just don't get it." Akari shook her head.
"Ow, let's quit that talking. We have a job here to do." said Haruka and rose her pink D-3 Digivice which shined.

[Shinka Theme Sei Frei (EVO) by Digimon Tamers plays]

"Gatomon, Warp Digivolution to...Ophanimon!"

"You don't leave me any choice." Akari rose her X-Loader. On her and BlackGatomon's arm appeared a golden ring. On her X-Loader appeared the Crest of Lust.

"Kyuukyoku Shinka, activate!" She drew a circle. BlackGatomon got covered into that circle.

"BlackGatomon, Kyuukyoku Shinka! Lilithmon!"

"Honestly, I don't want to battle you." said Lilithmon. "I just want you to..."
"I'm not interested in what you want." replied Ophanimon. "I'm only interested in the Demon Lords destruction."
"Why do you always have to be so stubborn? Sheesh." commented Lilithmon.

"Eden's Javelin!" Ophanimon fired a beam of purifying light from her javelin. Lilithmon flied upwards, so the beam hit the trees destroying them.
"Sheesh, are you nuts?! We're in a park, and if you destroy it someone might wonder what happened. And then you're in trouble." she commented angrily. "You really couldn't choose a better battle field then this?"
"Quit babbling!" replied Ophanimon. "Sefirot Crystal!" She manifested ten crystals between her hands, in a Sefirot formation, and fired them.
"Phantom Pain!" Lilithmon rots the crystals with a sigh of darkness. She got surpriesed by the high effect her attack had.

"What?!" Ophanimon looked in surpriese at the roten, scatered crystals.
-Sheesh, did I really became that strong?- thought Lilithmon and looked over to Ophanimon. -Or did her holy powers start to get corrupted. If she really turns into a Fallen Angel, I might even become stronger then she is.-

"How could that happen?" asked Haruka with a confused expression on her face. "I thought your attack would surpass Lilith's."

"That's the same I tought." said Ophanimon.

"Lookie, lookie, seems like Ophanimon ain't so strong as she used to be." muttered Dracmon, who was sitting on a tree nearby and watching them.
"Take this! Eden's Javelin!" Ophanimon fired a beam of purifying light from her javelin. Instead escaping it, Lilithmon took the full shot of the blast.

Though, something was wierd.

As the smoke cleared, Lilithmon was clearly seen still standing and without any higher damage.

"What?! How could you stand my purifying beam?!" said Ophanimon.

"I'm not sure." said Lilithmon, equaly confused. But then she got a determining look on her face. "I guess your holy powers ain't anymore the same."
"You're lying." said Ophanimon.
"Should we put it on a test. Mine holy powers against yours." said Lilithmon.
"You don't have holy powers." said Haruka.
"And what about the Warrior Mode?" said Akari. Dracmon bowed to hear better everything. He got curious.

"Your Crest got destroyed. You can't anymore reach that level." said Haruka.
"Should we put your theory on a test?" asked Akari rising her X-Loader. On the screen appeared the Crest of Purity. The two thunders next to the screen shined as she trusted her Xros Loader.

"Crest Digivolution, activate!"

"Lilithmon, Crest Digivolution to...Lilithmon Warrior Mode!"

"This might become a problem." muttered Dracmon as he saw Lilithmon's Warrior form.

"So, ready?" asked Lilithmon. Ophanimon didn't reply. She attacked.

"Eden's Javelin!"
"Purification Wave!"

The two beams of purifying energy hit each other. However, soon Lilithmon's attack proved to be stronger, easily disolving Ophanimon's, hiting the Celestial Digimon. Ophanimon yelled in pain, and as the smoke cleared, a defeaded Gatomon was left. Lilithmon WM de-digivoluved back to BlackGatomon, equaly exhausted, tought it seemed like Gatomon was much more hurted.

"This ain't the last time you saw us." said Haruka, picking up Gatomon and running away.

Dracmon also left. He thought about the Virtue Crests and hoped that, when the Shadow Hunters once use his upgrade, that they'll defead the nasty Shadow Tamers.

"I'll get my veangance Demon Lords. Just wait. With or without the help of the Shadow Hunters." he muttered. He didn't notice as he bumped into someone.

"Huh?" He rose his look.
"Want a battle?" asked the other Digimon, a humanoid beast like Digimon, which had red skin, hair, a fluffy tail and mostly a flame designe.
"No thanks." replied Dracmon. "Who are you?"
"I'm Flamemon." said Flamemon.
"Okay, next question. Do you have a human partner?" asked Dracmon, his interest for the Rookie leveled Digimon growing.
"I do." said Flamemon.
"And I'd like to meet him." said Dracmon with a toothly grin. Instead giving him any answer, Flamemon only turned around, as like he had felt the presence of his partner.

The boy whom Dracmon saw clutched a red advanced version of the D-Tector in his hand.

"Who are you? And what do you want?" asked the teen.
"I'm Dracmon. And I'm here to offer you a deal." said Dracmon.
"What deal?" asked the boy.
"I need one more ally to defead the evil group who call themselves The 7 Great Demon Lords." said Dracmon.
"Okay, I'll help you. I'm anyways chosen to battle evil Digimon." said the boy.

"Sweet." Dracmon smirked. "And, what is your name?"

"My name's Toshi Kanbara." said the boy and smiled. "And I'm a DigiDestenied."

Hi, I'm baaaack! (In any case you wonder, it's me Arisa. And who else do you think would appear? Sheesh.) Okay, I have to admit that the sweet, shy and gentle Toshi would ever join the Shadow Hunters. But let's face the truth, I even didn't know he's a DigiDestenied.
