Author's notes: After my account was deleted accidentally, I rewrote some parts of Dark Wing. There is another version, Dark Wing Type 2, that I'm writing that follows the anime more accurately. But for now, I'll focus on finishing the original Dark Wing since I want to wait and see what happens in the Japanese Tamer series. I'll upload the other chapters once I've finished double-checking them. Thanks for your patience.

Author's notes: After some consideration, I've decided to use the Japanese levels, since I'm already using the Japanese names, cards and attacks anyway. Therefore:

Digimon Levels:

Child : Rookie
Adult : Champion
Perfect : Ultimate
Ultimate: Mega

Author's 'the Devil made me do it' notes: I'm aware that some people who reviewed the original Dark Wing feel there wouldn't be any point in re-reviewing old chapters. So, I've come up with an idea so devilish, Devimon would be proud. Some chapters will have major differences. Which ones? You'll have to read them all to find out! *cue evil laughter*


Digimon Tamers: Dark Wing

Our enemy are the Chosen Children?!

"You will be mine! Makino Ruki!" Ice Devimon swore as he charged at the Tamers.

"Not while I'm here!" Renamon assured him, rushing forward to meet him. "Fox Leaf Arrowhead!" Leaping into the air, the humanoid fox crossed her arms before her, sending out slivers of light that cut through the air towards the approaching Adult.

"That didn't work before," Ice Devimon taunted as he folded his wings protectively around him. "What makes you think it'll work now?"

Ruki's eyes narrowed. "Because she's stronger now." She stepped forward, her fists clenched. "Stronger than you'll ever be!"

"I'm stronger as well," Ice Devimon told her as he shrugged off Renamon's attack, his wings unfolding as he leapt at the Child. "Watch this!" His arm became longer as he thrust at Renamon, forcing the slim female Digimon to catch and hold his outstretched hand. Ice Devimon smiled evilly. "Frost Claw!"

Renamon screamed in pain as Ice Devimon's hand suddenly became unbearably cold. She released the Adult's freezing cold hand and leapt away, wincing in pain as she looked at her hands. "What?" she whispered, seeing her arm guards all but frozen. She tried making a fist, but her face contorted in pain.

"Renamon?" Ruki gasped running to her partner. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"It...it burns?" Renamon whispered as Ruki took her hands. "Why?"

Ice Devimon laughed. "Originally, my Frost Claw was not so...potent. But now that I am reborn, stronger than before, my ice powers are so cold they burn!"

"Burn this!" Takato yelled, signalling Guilmon.

The small red dinosaur-like Digimon ran towards the taller Digimon, a red glow in his mouth. "Fireball!"

"Hmph," Ice Devimon snorted as he blocked the attack with an outstrecthed hand. "That won't work this time either."

Lee scowled. "Is that so? How about this?" He raised his D-Ark high above his head, before bringing it down and sliding a card through the slot in its side. "Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"

"Terriermon, evolve!" The small floppy-eared Digimon twirled in mid-air, streams of data encasing him in an egg-like structure. Inside, his body reformatted, growing larger and more humanoid, wearing what looked like a pair of blue jeans. Two gun-like weapons appeared and fixed themselves to the end of his arms. Reaching out with one gun-arm, he grasped a bandolier using the claw-like appendage at the end of the gun and flipped it, letting the bandolier encircle his body, the buckle snapping shut as he announced his name. "Galgomon!"



"I've located the portal the Messenger used to enter my territory," Qinglongmon informed the other Holy Beasts. "We can begin sealing it now."

Baihumon glanced at his comrade. "Are you certain you wouldn't mind trapping the Messenger in your domain?"

"The Chosen Children defeated him once before," the blue dragon replied with a hint of pride. "I believe they will be able to handle him again."

"Wait!" Xuanwumon warned. "I sense something!"

At the centre of the hall appeared a large map, displaying the Digital World. The South was coloured red, representing Zhuqiaomon. The East, Qinglongmon's territory, was coloured blue while Baihumon's Western domain was white. Xuanwumon's territory of the North was green and at the centre was the realm of the four Holy Beasts. The Digital Guardians leaned forward, peering intently at the map. "There!" Zhuqiaomon barked out. "Near Infinity Mountain!"

Qinglongmon closed his eyes. "There is a Digital Gate near there! I sense..." His eyes snapped open. "No! He has broken through again!"

"Where?!" Baihumon asked. Then on the map, in Qinglongmon's territory, appeared a blood red bat symbol emblazoned on a black disk. It quickly made its way to the centre.

"The Messenger is coming here?!" Zhuqiaomon said in disbelief. "Madness! Even with the Black Gears, he cannot hope to mount a solitary assault on Sky City!"

Qinglongmon growled. "He isn't trying to come here!" there was a brief flash of light, and the black disk was gone. "He simply opened a gate to my realm then opened another back to yours!"

"What?!" raged the firey Digital God. "How dare he traverse the realms in so callous a manner!"

Xuanwumon spoke up. "Qinglongmon. I sensed other presences with the Messenger. Who were they?"

"Allies of the Dark Messenger?" Baihumon suggested.

Zhuqiaomon shook his head. "Allies? In the Real World? It cannot be. The Dark Messenger has never traversed beyond the borders of the Digital World before."

Qinglongmon looked worried. "Then who were they?"



Ice Devimon fell back into a defensive stance. "Evolution will not save you!"

"We'll see about that!" Galgomon retorted, charging foward. "Dum Dum Upper!"

"Zero Freeze!" Galgomon suddenly found himself assailed with a blast of cold air that slowly but surely began to encase him in ice. Ice Devimon laughed. "Did you think you could defeat me so easily? I will rebuild my collection...starting with you!" The white coloured Adult lunged at Galgomon, who struggled to break out of his icy prison. "Die! Frost Cl-arrgh!"

Leomon landed nimbly on the ground after delivering a powerful jump kick to Ice Devimon's face. He glared at the Adult over his shoulder, his eyes promising a painful death. "Where is Juri?" he growled ferociously.

"Juri?" Ice Devimon repeated, wiping his mouth. "Who's that?"

"Don't play dumb!" Ruki yelled. "The girl you kidnapped! Where is she!"

Ice Devimon whirled to face the redhead. "Don't insult me!" he spat. "Why would I kidnap this Juri girl? The only human I'm interested in is you!"

"Then where is she?" Takato demanded. "Where's Katou-san?"

"I told you!" Ice Devimon yelled. "I don't know who you mean!"

"Leave him alone," called out another voice. "He didn't kidnap your precious Juri." The Tamers stepped back in surprise as Devimon walked out of the shadows. "I did."

"Devimon?!" Takato gasped.

Lee stared at the demonic Adult. "That's impossible! We destroyed you!"

Devimon simply smiled. "I can't die so easily! I have much left to do!"

"Devimon!" Leomon snarled, interrupting the black-clad Adult. "Where is she?"

Devimon smiled. "Why, she's up those stairs," he said, pointing at the staircase. "You're welcome to rescue her. I have no further need of her. She's already done what I needed her to do."

"Leomon! Wait!" The sword-wielding Adult ignored Lee's call and dashed up the stairs.

"Of course," Devimon continued. "I didn't say anything about...them."

Takato looked up and saw something drop down from the ceiling. "Leomon!" he cried. "Watch out! Above you!"

"Ghh!" Snorting, Leomon rolled out of the way as his attacker landed feet-first in the spot he had been standing in. "Who are you?"

The new Digimon was a small, yellow hunchbacked figure that only reached up to Leomon's thigh with drills for hands and another for a nose. The drills began whirring as it turned to face the larger Digimon. "..." It charged forward, stabbing at Leomon with its deadly drill hands.

Leomon dodged left and right, then counter-attacked. "Fist of the Beast King!" The lion's head blast knocked the yellow Digimon through a badly damaged wall. Suddenly, Leomon sensed another presence behind him. Whirling, he drew his sword, but it was too late...

As Takato and the others watched, Leomon was hit by a ball of fire and was hurled down the stairs, landing in a crumpled heap on the floor. "Leomon!" yelled the goggle-wearing boy.

"Who?!" Ruki demanded. Slowly, three figures showed themselves. One was humanoid and dressed in bright-red armour decorated with flame insignia. On its arms were spiked gauntlets and its head was covered with a spiked helmet with a prominent horn. On his right was a winged, four-legged Digimon wearing a helmet that gave it the impression of wearing a battle-axe.

"Habataku aijou, Holsmon!" (Flapping wings of love, Holsmon!) declared the winged Digimon.

Bursting out of the wall, the small yellow Digimon landed beside the other two arrivals, its drills spinning. "Hagane no eichi, Digmon!" (The wisdom of steel, Digmon!)

"Moeagaru yuuki, Fladramon!" (Burning with courage, Fladramon!) roared the red-armoured Digimon.

"No way..." Takato whispered in disbelief as Fladramon, Holsmon and Digmon attacked.


Meanwhile, Juri watched fearfully as Ice Devimon, Fladramon, Holsmon and Digmon began attacking her friends. "Takato-kun...Leomon...Ruki..." The petite girl began searching through her pockets and bag, hoping to find something that could help. Something fell from her hair, glittering as it struck the floor. "What's this?" Juri asked no one in particular as she picked it up. "This is..."

*Flashback*

Takato threw a ball at a group of bottles, trying to knock them down. Unfortunately, he missed. "Awww..." he said dejectedly. He had decided to try on of the game booths that had been set up nearby the Digimon Convention in Odaiba, but wasn't having much luck.

"Two more tries," the stall owner told him. Takato threw again, and missed again. "One more try."

Juri whispered into Takato's ear. "Don't worry, Takato-kun...You can do it!"

Nodding, the light-brown haired boy pulled himself to his full height. Pulling back his arm, he threw the ball with all his might. The bottles collapsed as the ball struck them squarely in the middle. "Yes!" he cheered. "I did it!"

"Congratulations!" the stall owner said. "Now, pick a prize."

"Okay..." Takato looked at the available prizes. "What would you like, Katou-san?"

Juri smiled. She looked around and saw a little pink hairpin with a bright red heart at the centre. "Uh...that hairpin is cute."

Takato smiled back at her. "Okay," he said to the stall owner. "Can I have that hairpin please?" The stall owner smiled and nodded, handing him the hairpin. "Here, Katou-san," Takato said, handing her the hairpin.

Juri smiled as she put it into her hair. "Thank you, Takato-kun!"

Takato gave a goofy grin, rubbing the back of his head. "No...no problem."

*back to the present*

Juri picked up the hairpin. "...It always works on TV..." She opened it and began picking at the lock.



"Fire Knuckle!" "Gattling Arm!" "Fireball!" "Gold Rush!"

Takato ducked and kept his head down as he crawled to where Lee was. "Tempest Wing!" Renamon crashed into the door. Shaking her head, she leapt at Holsmon.

"Wisteria Punch!" Takato yelped as Holsmon fell in front of him. He quickly scrambled around the armoured Digimon and reached Lee.

"Jen!" he gasped. "We can't fight Fladramon and the others! What if they're the ones from 02?"

"What are the chances of that?" Ruki said from behind him, making him jump.

"It's possible I guess," Lee replied seriously. "For all we know, they might be the same ones. I mean, we've already fought the Devimon from 01..."

"Jen," Takato said, clutching at the other boy's arm. "Look! Around Fladramon's neck!"

Lee glanced in the fire Digimon's direction. "What's that?" Around Fladramon's neck was what looked like a black band.

"Those are Evil Rings!" Takato told him. "The Kaizer used them to control Digimon!"

"The Kaizer?!" Ruki said in disbelief. "You mean the Digimon Kaizer?!"

"Don't tell me we have to fight him too..." Lee moaned worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about that," Devimon interrupted, hovering above them. "I gave the Kaizer his chance to play with my Evil Rings, and he failed miserably." He waved his hand in the direction of the three armoured Digimon. "See how even Chosen Digimon, protected by the power of the Crests, fall to the combined evil might of the Black Gears and Evil Rings!"

"Both Black Gears AND Evil Rings?!" Takato gasped. "Then...those really are..."

"Yes," Devimon nodded. "The Chosen Children's Digimon. They are mine now!"

Renamon appeared behind him. "Then we'll just have to defeat you to set them free!" She lunged at him, forcing him to fall back, away from the Tamers.


"Fist of the Beast King!" Ice Devimon reeled back from Leomon's attack. "This isn't getting us anywhere!" The Beast Man Digimon growled. "We need to find Juri!"

Ruki nodded. "Okay, Jen, Galgomon, Renamon and I will stay here and hold them off. Takato, you go with Leomon and Guilmon and try to find Juri."

The others nodded. "Guilmon!" Takato yelled. "Follow us!" The small dragon Digimon twisted his head around as Takato ran for the stairs, Leomon behind him.

"Coming, Takato!" Guilmon said, turning to run after them.

"Fladramon! Stop them!" ordered Devimon, dodging Renamon as she dived at him. The vixen kicked out at the Dark Digimon, but suddenly Holsmon tackled her, knocking her to the ground.

"Right." The red-armoured Digimon took to the air, his claws blazing as he yelled "Fire Knuckle!" A bolt of fire flew towards Takato, aimed at his fleeing figure.

"Card Slash!" Lee yelled. "Brave Shield! Galgomon!"

"Okay, Jen!" As the shield bearing the symbol of the Crest of Courage materialised, Galgomon grabbed it and leapt in the way, allowing the firebolt to explode harmlessly against it. "My turn!" Galgomon said, leaping out from behind the Brave Shield. "Gattling Arm!"

As Fladramon began dodging the gun-toting Digimon, Leomon, Takato and Guilmon began running up the stairs. Devimon turned to Ice Devimon. "Ice Devimon. Why don't you give them a demonstration of the new powers I gave you."

Ice Devimon smiled as he sank into the ground, reappearing at the top of the stairs. "You aren't going anywhere!" he laughed. "Ice Devimon...Fatal Technique! Zero Freeze...OMEGA!" Suddenly, Takato was blinded by a bright light, and then...

...nothing.
