There are people that own Digimon. Iam not one of them.

This is the true first chapter of Takato's Pride.

Unleashed

Rained poured heavily as two figures stood opposite of each other. Lightning continued to strike in the background. Thunder shook the ground beneath them as if the world would soon explode. The night was so dark that it looked as though the darkness would consume everything. Lightning only lit the area for mere seconds, but these two figures were fully aware of each others presence.

"Friends, heh, who needs them? Without me, they wouldn't even be alive. For everytime I've done for these people, they've taken it for granted. I'll take it all back. I'll being them a terror like they've never seen. The D-Reaper, ha, that was a video game compared to what me. I don't care about ruling this world or the next. I just want the world to respect me. And fear me." Said the first figure.

"Ruki come with me." Ruki could only stare at this once happy person she had grew up with in the past few years. 'How could he do this to me? Why would he want me to come with him?' Ruki thought.

"Why me?" asked Ruki.

"Because I want to be with you. In my heart, I know a part of me wants to be with you. And I also know that you oppose what I'm going to do. I want you to think about this." Said the first figure. Ruki felt a unknown radiating from Takato.

"I can't. Think of what you're saying. You're going to release Diablo. Don't you know how much damage he would cause? I can't allow you to do this. Takato, as much as I don't want to do this, I'll kill you if I have to." Said Ruki with sorrow in her heart.

"Ruki, the Lord of Terror will rise, with you or without you by my side. I don't really want to harm you, I really want you to be there when I show everyone my pain. Everyone will know my pain. I'll go down as the greatest being ever to have existed." Said Takato.

Slowly a dark creature stalked behind Takato. The creature liked what Takato had become. He is terror and Takato is going to spread terror throughout this world. Ruki was unaware of his presence.

"What is your purpose in doing this?" asked Ruki.

"Purpose? Have you not been listening this whole time? For as long as I can remember, I've been taken for granted. After the D-Reaper, what happened!?! Huh!?! They expected us to do everything for them in return for nothing. We have lives ahead of us. I don't know about you, but I have the rest of my life to look forward to. I'm not going to spend my life being some servant to these people." Explained Takato.

"So how do you plan on releasing Diablo?" asked Ruki. "The soul stones were destroyed a very long time ago."

"True, they were destroyed, but not completely. How do you kill something that can not be killed? You can't. Diablo will live forever. The soul stones were supposedly destroyed a very long time ago by a hero, but fragments of the stones remained. I collected these stones. Now all that needed is time. Diablo walks this world, his powers growing." Said Takato.

'It can't be!' was the first thought to come to Ruki's head as she saw Diablo stalk out from the shadows. 'I thought Diablo was the color of blood, why is he the color of night?' Fear crept into her very soul as she stared at the Lord of Terror.

"Wait, there's one thing I don't understand. I thought Diablo needed a body. Where did he find body?" asked Ruki.

"Didn't you notice? How couldn't you have noticed that Guilmon was not with me." Stated Takato. Darkness started to consume Ruki.

"What are we going to do with her?" echoed Diablo's voice. Noticing that Diablo was close to her, she frantically tried to claw her way out of the darkness.

Diablo's voice and Takato's words were the only thing Ruki could remember as she was completely consumed by darkness.
