"Dark Trine"

Disclaimer: No, I do not own Digimon... do I have to live through that sort of humiliation EVERY SINGLE DAY?
~*~
Authors Note: One more thing before I go on with the post apocalyptic, dystopian world of the Dark Trine. I forgot to add this teensy little detail for "Superhyperglobalmegalomaniacs". It's about the origin of the angelic trio which brought forth upon the earth pillars of deadly flame (I sort of got excited with the explosions et al that I completely forgot about explaining where they came from! Well, that's the downside of spontaeneous strorytelling).
Anyway, my heartful thanks also to Ralph Wiggum, being the first person gracious enough to read my tale. Let there be more like you! ^_^;
And to Adam who had given me a reason to make this NC17. This might be the last of the PG13 Chapters. The Nightmare of the Trine World Will begin soon.

Chapter Four: Angeli Ex Machina
~*~
"The entire Digimon World has been reprogrammed according to plan."
"Excellent. And all the Digimon?"
"Totally under our control."
"Good. Now, we proceed with our Invasion."
Jyou held a digivice in his hand. Tightly. Very tightly.
Twirling... twirling... twirling in his fingers.
"Not yet, Ken."
"Huh?"
"Theres a little something I wan't to try before we trash this defenseless little planet."
"What is it?"
"A little surprise I've been planning to show you..."
Jyou held up the gleaming gizmo in his hand.
"Digiport... Trine Gateway!"
Suddenly, Ken's PC and Koushiro's Laptop began to emmit a loud buzzing noise... both monitors gleaming like daylight.
In an instant, an explosion drowned the room in a swirling pulse of data.
And all three of them were gone.
"Why'd you do that for?" Koushiro muttered, blinded slightly by the light.
Both Ken and Jyou were strangely unaffected.
"What... what is this place?" Ken asked, bewildered by what looked like the interior of a cathedral, each gothic column was ladden with crest inscriptions and heiroglyphs.
On the altar were three gleaming eggs, each with a different color. Behind them were three serpentine stone dragons, intercoiled and winged, guarding the altar.
"This... is the Sepulchre of the Absolute Eggs."
"That what of the what what?"
"The Sepulchre of the Absolute Eggs."
Izzy walked down the aisle and examined the altar.
"Omegadramon... Celestiadraimon... Armageddramon... Hey, who are these?"
[Omegadramon - A Rare Dragon Type Digimon. It was born out of the energy released in destroying evil digimon. It's attack- the Last Judgement.]
[Armageddramon- Another Rare Dragon Type Digimon. It was born out of the energy released by Digimon acting out in a pure and noble cause. It's attack- the Universal Crusade.]
[Celestiadramon- Yet Another Rare Dragon Type Digimon. It was born out of the agony and pain of Digimon who have died defending the Digital World from Evil. It's attack- the Act of Absolution.]
"That sure answered my question. Anyway, what the heck are we doing here for? These are digi-eggs and I don't suppose we could use them. We've already got digimon, and since these aren't digi-mentals, I don't think these would be much use for Ken."
"Patience, Shiro-san. All will be revealed in due time."
"Jyou..." Ken muttered. "This couldn't be..."
"The greatest digimon yet to be born?"
"Yes."
"Yes they are."
"How'd you get us here? In my entire reign in the Digital World, I had searched for this legendary sepulchre, although even Gennai dismissed it as a myth when I asked him."
"He couldn't have known."
"Huh?"
"The fact is, we aren't even in the Digital World."
"What do you mean we're not in the Digital World?" Koushiro interceded.
"We are in a world beyond. The world were all data, after deleted, find it's way."
"The Recycle Bin Microcosm?"
"In a word... Bingo."
"Wait a minute. Wasn't this the place where Apocalymon sent us? How could something... anything... exsist here?"
"Where we were back then was just an illusion. Jumbled up data bits do not perpetually float around as clouds, you know."
"A Nebulaic Effect! Of course! It happens in the physical world when sub molecular dust particles in zero grav join to form matter. Here, data clouds cluster to create..."
"Digi-eggs such as these."
"Wait, wait. I still don't get how you know all this."
"Do you still belittle your upperclassman, Koushiro?"
"In a word, Yes."
Jyou only gave a look of dissapointment.
"Again, how did you know about the Sepulchre?"
"It's funny you should ask. It was quite funny how nobody- not even you- knew."
"Knew WHAT?"
"How I told everybody I went out to find myself the same way Yamato did."
"We know what happened. You found Yamato and helped him pull Sora out of her black hole-thing-a-majig."
"True. But did you actually think I would leave Mimi with a bunch of frantic Digimon simply to find Yamato?"
"I suppose..."
"Well, It's not exactly how the story went. At least, not the entirety of it."
"Do tell" Ken indulged, taking a seat near the altar.
"I don't have to tell you! This isn't Earth, y'know. I can just go into a flashback and show you!"
---Flashback---
Jyou had left Mimi with Ogremon and Frigimon and Meramon somewhere and had set out into the forests to find his true self, trying to find it within himself if he truly deserved the crest of Reliability yada-yada-yada.
Lacking much self esteem himself, he had given up believing in his self worth and came to the conclusion that fate had already designated him as the weakest of the Digidestined.
It wasn't long until he too fell into a dark hole-thingy himself. Gomamon couldn't do anything since it was Jyou's own self hatred which powered the void, making it virtually sound proof.
For several hours, Jyou had become hopeless trapped into the void, much longer than anybody else.
Too long, in fact, that Jyou actually got to the bottom of the void.
The bottom of which being the Sepulchre of the Absolute Eggs.
"Wait a second here. You mean to say you've been here before and you never even told us?"
"Oh, can't you let me finish?"
Okay, back to the friggin flashback.
"What the heck is this place?" young Jyou asked.
He walked down the aisle, lit by the candlelight of a thousand candelabras, and looked around him. He was alone, unprotected.
What if some evil Digimon attacked him?
He did not want to know.
All he wanted is to leave... yet something bright caught his eye.
"Digi-eggs... but Primary Village has been poisoned. How could these be here?"
"They are here... awaiting the day of their reckoning" A thin voice echoed through the halls.
"Who are you?"
"I am Enigmon, guardian of the Absolute Eggs and keeper of this Sepulchre."
"Hello, I am Jyou Kido, lisensced coward and getting out of here..."
"And how do you suppose to do that?"
"I... I... I'll make something up when I get to it."
"Please... don't go. I have not come to hurt you..."
A tiny winged digimon, not unlike Pixiemon with black fur and scaly wings, approached Jyou. It wasn't long though until the Digimon changed form, this time into a beautiful woman with fiery red hair and black feathered wings- a good cross between Angewomon and Lady Devimon.
"I... I... I... I'm not going anywhere soon, am I."
"You may leave whenever you please. The gate behind you shall lead you back to the Digital World. Yet if you stay... I have something to give you..."
"Give... me? Why?"
"The void in which you had come here from came to you for a reason."
"And I thought it just wanted to burry me alive!"
"No... it's not like that at all. The void... it seeks people who have lost their will to fight. It sends them to me."
"So I lost my will to fight. Isn't that bad enough? Oh I get it... you're trying to help us alright... by decimating our ranks by plucking out the weak! Well that's just dandy. Well, let's get this over with. If I have to be deleted, I hope it's quick."
"No... it's not at all like that."
"You'd prefer me to die slow and painfully, do you?"
"No! You are not going to die. You have simply been chosen."
"Yeah... as the weakest digidestined. Please don't push it further."
"Chosen... to be granted this..."
Something shimmered in Enigmon's palm.
"It's called a Dark Seed."
"Let me get this straight..." Koushiro interrupted once more. "You had a dark seed with you the whole time we battled Apocalymon and the whole time we battled Archnemon and the whole time, you were still you! I'm not getting too much from this."
"Let me finish, dammit!"
Okay, continuing Jyou's Flashback.
Jyou pinched the seed from Enigmon's palm.
"What did you say this thing was again?"
"A Dark Seed, Jyou."
"It doesn't look like a pill, a tablet, or a medicinal herb so I don't really understant what's it got to do with me."
"Take it. It's yours."
"Oh, I'm suppose to plant trees in the Digi-world now. A Cherrymon, perhaps?"
Enigmon was beginning to get really pissed off. She grabbed the seed and pushed it deep down Jyou's skull.
"Owww... that really hurts dammit!"
"Sorry, kid, but I really had to do that."
"What for."
"I had to plant it in ya, kid."
"I don't want trees to grow in my head. I'm already a hideous four-eyes as I am!"
"You mean to say... you don't feel different? At all?"
"Of course I feel different. I have a splitting headache where I didn't have one several seconds ago!"
Enigmon sweatdropped.
Jyou was now very scared. As if by impulse, he raced out the gate and headed straight for the Digital World, where in afew minutes, he found Yamato's harmonica.
"You will come back, Jyou. You will fulfill your destiny..."
---End Flashback---
"I only felt the effects of the Dark Seed a few years ago, when my Hair strangely started to grow longer. I had never felt better in my life when I first felt the twinge of the power offer by the Dark Seed."
"You didn't let Yamato or Sora fall into the pit of darkness because you feared they'd have to face Enigmon too, right?"
"Uh-huh."
"One question remains, though. Why did you come back here?"
"To fulfill my destiny. There was a reason why I was taken by the void, but it was not how Enigmon explained it to me. She has now been deleted, but the details of that will have to wait. I am a digidestined... but of a different sort."
Both Ken and Koushiro was baffled by Jyou's words.
"Enigmon might have thought that she had warded me away from the Absolute Eggs. But she was wrong. How wrong she was."
Jyou drew his glasses from his face with one hand and reached out into the altar with the other, plucking out the middle egg. The one with the inscription "Celestiadramon".
Strangely enough, it plucked right out.
He then used the frame of his glasses to tap the shell on the pointy side, making a large crack.
Something neither Ken or Koushiro had expected.
Holding the egg like a chalice, he raised it up to the altar then drank the gooey fluid within.
"Eeeew! Jyou... what are you doing..."
As if drawn by a strange force, Ken followed, tapping an egg at it's pointy side and drank from it.
"Peer pressure." said Koushiro who followed. "Hey... this ain't so bad... if I had some mustard and jellybeans to go with this..."
Suddenly.
"I'm starting to feel... a little..."
Jyou fell into the floor.
"Jyou... Jyou...? What's gotten into you?"
It was a good question. What HAS gotten into Jyou... or rather... inside him. He was intoxicated by the digital egg which now mixes with his biomaterial body.
Then, something amazing happened.
Jyou's back muscles began to contract, slicing open his skin from the inside. Out came a three pairs of bloody wings, each greater than the other. His skin gleamed a silky white while his clothes were replaced by white linen.
"It's Celestiadramon... I can feel his strenght... joining... mine..."
"He doesn't look in pain. How very odd..."
It wasn't long when both Koushiro and Ken had fallen, each going into a similar transformation.
Soon, there were three of them. Three winged creatures.
"I feel sorta taller..." Koushiro remarked. He then looked at his companions who were both about a head taller than him. "Then again..."
Spreading his wings, Jyou approached the altar statue. The coiled dragons before him, he caressed the statue and from it came three blasts of energy.
The first brought forth a shimmering rune sword.
The second and third brought forth a crystal orb.
"Now, my friends, we resume with the Invasion..."

How was that?
Now I may resume with the fanfic.
Please oh please read and review. Have mercy on this struggling author.
