Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Summery: AU, very AU and dark, with mentioning of torture, violence and blood drinking.
Taichi's been disowned by the master and barely escaped both his execution and the destruction of his castle as Jun and the Digimon Emperor battled for supremacy of that area. In the battle, the Emperor revealed his new great weapon, Kimeramon. And in the real world, Oikawa Ukyou approached the master with an offer of alliance or destruction.

Dark Alliance: Part 1
------------------------------------
Izzy Izumi, holder of the crest of Knowledge, stared around at the group of kids. "Okay, as you all know, Ken has been defeated, and Tai is no longer a threat." As he spoke, he avoids staring at Kari who frowned at the way he spoke of her brother. "We now have a new enemy, Jun, and action will be needed to stop her before she cause to much destruction."
"So why are we sitting here, let's get going and stop her." Davis cried out as he jumped out of the chair, his digivice ready to open the gate to the digital world.
Simply smiling a bit, Izzy leaned on the desk in his room, crossing his arms across his chest. "That's simple Davis, because we need to clean up the digital world as well."
Looking a bit confused and unsure, Davis shrugged a bit as he looked at Izzy. "Come on, isn't it better to defeat her before we start cleaning up."
"No." Came the simple response from Izzy as his eyes narrowed a bit.
Lightly coughing, TK stepped forward a bit, Patamon resting on top of his hat. "I agree with Davis Izzy, while the digital world could use a hand in the clean up after Ken, it is more important to stop Jun." Looking a bit pleased at what he had said, he looked back at the group that nodded in agreement.
Coughing as well to get their attention, Yolie crossed her own arms across her chest. "Besides, I was hoping we could get some time off, I'm starting to fall behind on some of my homework."
Looking like their comments hadn't affected him, Izzy sighed and pushed himself off the desk. "Time off, stop Jun." Looking at each of the new digi destined, he smiled a bit strained. "You know, the need for a clean up, is basically your own fault! You tore the digital World apart fighting Ken!!" Huffing as he stopped yelling, he noted they had all backed up. "And we don't know where Jun is, and until we find her, we can't stop her."
Holding up a hand to stop their protests, Izzy looked at the computer screen behind him. "Now, I'm looking for her right this moment, but until I do get a lead on her, you can clean up the mess you made." Eyes glinting darkly as he turned back to face them, he smiled evilly as he stepped away from the computer. "Now, get going."
Nodding dumbly, the digi destined lifted up their digi vices, ready to yell out the phrase that would send them right into the digital world. "Kari, hold on a minute."
Stepping back from the group, Kari looked over at Izzy with a confused expression on her face. "Yeah?"
Grapping his laptop, Izzy slipped it over his shoulders as he faced her. "Is your brother home, I need to discuss something with him."
Looking a bit unsure, Kari looked form the older boy to the computer. "He should be, but I don't know if it a good idea, he still torn up over what he did." Not to mention the crummy reception he got from mom and dad when he showed up. Shaking away the thoughts, she noted Izzy had an urgent look on his face. "Well, he should be there, just don't make him upset, got it?"
Nodding with a smile on his face, Izzy walked over to the door. "I got it, and try to keep Davis and TK from fighting, the digital world needs to be repaired, not destroyed some more."
--------------------For the digimon residing in Santa Cera, life hadn't been easy lately. Their village had been overrun by the digimon Emperor twice, the whole town enslaved and force to become part of his slave labor and army the first time, the second time it had been destroyed by Kimeramon's march. And now, only about one day after their freedom had been returned to them, they were once again in need of help, but this time, it was for survival, not liberation.
"Dark Side Attack!"
A massive explosion tore up parts of the town as a wave after wave of missiles impacted several buildings and streets. The digimons able to survive staring up in terror as a evil dragon type digimon flew overhead, a lone human standing on its back as a cold, inhuman laughter filled the air.
Stumbling down onto his knees, the leader of the village, Gabumon, partner of Yamato Ishida, known as Matt to his close friends, cried out in anger at the seemingly useless act of destruction wrought by this young girl.
As the screams rose in terror, Gabumon rose to his feet and stare dup at the approaching dragon digimon. "Why are you doing this?" His voice barely heard by anyone, but still, the dragon digimon halted its advance, as the human girl on its back stepped out for him to see her clearly.
Cracking a whip slightly in the air, a cold smile formed as she looked down at the digimon before her. "To send a message, tell your partner that unless these so called new digi destined brats shows up at this location before the end of this day." At that statement, a folded up map was thrown down at him. "I will continued my quest of destruction across the digital world."
Gabumon stumbled back as her statement was followed by another wave of destruction from Megadramon's cannon arms, several building crumbling down in a fiery blaze. "Not again." The words leaving his mouth as another good friend from the village was deleted right before him. "Why must we always face such evil?"
The sudden crackling feel of a whip hitting him brought him back around to look up at Jun, her face showing just how much she enjoyed the destruction and carnage around her. "Remember, tell them I want them to show up, or another village will be destroyed." Jun's laughter filled the air as the dark dragon digimon flew further down to spread more destruction and chaos.
Struggling up form where he lay on the ground, Gabumon faced the direction of the only TV set in the whole sector. Even if it hurt to move as much as a claw, he would have to get to Matt, make him bring help here, or the whole town would be destroyed, again.
--------------------Sitting silently in the living room, Tai stared out the window and into the early autumn day. Wondering how he could get the day to pass faster. As it was, it didn't even seem like five hours had passed, but more like five days. The only company he'd had all day was a stuffed toy, and a cat that kept on giving him a curious glance every second or so. "What?"
Stumbling back at the question, the cat bolted from the room with its tail hanging close to the ground. Leaving Tai with a smirk on his face. "Still got it." He grinned as he leaned back some more, and nearly screamed as he came face to face with a familiar set of soft brown eyes framed by a curtain of pink hair.
Getting himself back under control, Tai sat up and smiled at Mimi as she moved around the couch to sit in one of the chairs in the room. "Don't do that again."
Moving her hair back from her eyes as she spoke, Mimi smirked a bit herself as she grinned. "So, now that you've joined us, you settle for scaring the daylights out of a poor defenseless cat instead of plotting world domination?" Her voice sarcastic and full of laughter as she spoke at him, but frowning as she saw the look he sent her in return. "Sorry"
Shrugging a bit, Tai leaned back in the chair again, closing his eyes as he listened to the silently apartment, and the sound of his and Mimi's breaths. "Nothing else to do, mom left about an hour ago, and Kari's at school and I haven't seen dad since last night." Leaning his head to the side, he smiled at her. "So what's with the pink hair color, I thought you got rid of that back in the digital world?"
Smiling back at him, Mimi lifted up one of the pinks looks of hair and let it run through her fingers slowly. "I did, but only because you didn't have any pink hair dye in your castle."
"Oh." Came the simple reply from Tai as he shook his head. He never had asked about her hair color doing all the time he had claimed her as his dark queen. Had he even bothered to try and find out anything about her doing that time. "So, what brings you over, I thought you were going home today?"
Seeing the slightly uncomfortable look on his face, Mimi settled for looking out the window for a bit. "Yes, but, I didn't feel like spending the whole day sitting around waiting." Taking a slightly deep breath as she finished talking, her eyes drifted back to look at the messy haired boy. "So, how do you feel?"
Smiling a bit depressed at her question, Tai turned his attention to the cloud filled sky outside. "Not sure, I'm glad to be back, but I don't really feel at home here." Standing up, the messy haired boy walked over to lean on the window still as he sighed. "Everything's changed, mom and dad were happy, but, they also seemed confused, and scared over my return."
Staring at the messy haired boy, Mimi felt a bit of sadness move through her as well. Well, there was only one thing to do in a case like this. "Come on." Grabbing his arm, Mimi smiled as she pulled him over towards the main door. "You need to come out of this gloomy apartment."
Looking a bit confused at what she was saying. Tai stared as he saw her pull on a light summer jacket, one hand reaching down to pull out a D-terminal from her pocket. "What are you doing?"
"Taking you out." Mimi replied as she punched in a quick message on the D-terminal, hitting the send button after a few seconds. Closing it back up, she turned around and smirked at him. "Well, are you going to get ready, or don't you want to go out with me?"
Grinning a bit, Tai took a hold of the door handle, lifting up his keys as he smirked back at her. "Well, I'm not one to refuse an invitation from my queen." Opening the door, he swept his hand wide at it. "Ladies first."
Holding back a giggle as she stepped out through the door, Mimi looked back at Tai. "You know, you're a lot nicer now then you were back in the digital world, not to mention funnier." The sound of the door getting locked, made her sigh a bit as she cast a quick look out over the city. "I really want to get to know you a bit more, but I have to go back home tonight, and, my parents might prevent me from entering the digital world again."
Getting a slightly depressed look at what she was said, Tai stuffed his hands into his pants pockets and began to walk slowly forward with her next to him. "Don't know why you want to have anything to do with me, I hurt you, your digimon and your friend as well."
Mimi didn't respond as she continue to walk next to him, her eyes half closed as she thought about it as well, finally smiling a bit as she looked over at him. "You couldn't help it, Gennai told me you were infected by a virus, that corrupted you until you became that monster."
"Still." Tai started, only to stop as he felt Mimi grab his arm. "Hey?"
Not facing him as she pulled him along, Mimi eyes narrowed in a slightly annoyed frown. "I didn't come here to see you wallop in despair." Pushing the button for the elevator, she grinned a bit. "Now, we're going out for a small walk, and you're going to enjoy it, no more feeling bad until you get back home."
Blinking his eyes as he heard the command, Tai shrugged as the doors to the elevator opened, letting him get dragged in by Mimi as she stepped forward. Only as the doors closed and the trip down to the ground floor started, did he think of something to say. "Where are we going anyway?"
--------------------At the same time in Tomadachi, a young boy was sitting in a small chair, his eyes staring almost lifelessly at the computer screen before him. "Wormmon." Muttering the name of his digimon partner, he gasped in pain as he felt a wave of regret and despair rush through him.
Outside the room, his parents were standing with a slightly worried expression on their faces. Ever since their son had returned in the middle of the night, he had been acting strange, shutting himself up in shell. Not really telling them anything of where he had been, or what he had done while he had been gone. All he had been doing was staring at the computer screen before him.
Inside the room, Ken Ichijoji, formerly the digimon emperor clenched a hand tightly around a black colored digivice, cursing the day he ever got it. The day he went to that blasted Dark Ocean. "Why did I go there, why can't I remember it?" Sitting up, he frowned and gave another deep sigh.
He was getting nowhere, and he had a high lack of sleep, since spending the night suffering from nightmares of all he had done in the last year, had left him with too little sleep. "Wormmon, I need to find Wormmon." Pushing himself away form the bed, the dark blue haired boy face the computer screen with a confident expression, masking the deep fear and doubt in his heart.
Maybe, he could find the answers he was looking for, in the digital world.
--------------------Matt kept to the shadows as he looked at the two people walking up ahead of him. The other may be willing to give him some trust, since they had Gennai's word, that he hadn't been himself. But who was to say he wouldn't get a relapse. And after seeing Michael, he was not going to let him run around unsupervised, he would watch him like a hawk, stalk him like a wolf. And at the first sign of trouble, he would beat him into the ground.
Further down the street, hiding behind a newspaper, Sora stared at Matt, a frown on her face as she followed after her boyfriend, watching him stalk Tai and Mimi.
And un-a-where of it all, Tai and Mimi still walked down the street, talking about the places they could remember. And what they had meant to one another in the past. But slowly, Tai was starting to become a where of one thing, they were slowly heading towards a large building, a building with big windows on the ground and second floor, a building with a lot of people coming and going from it with lots of bags in their hands.
This could only mean one thing, he was going to put through what Jun had called a girly afternoon trip, what he had heard someone refer to as a guy's nightmare when he had still been attending school. "We're not going to the mall are we?" A hint of panic entering his voice as he questioned her about it.
Lifting her head with a startled expression, Mimi focused on the building in the distance, a smile growing on her face as she slowly lowered the potted plant she had been looking at. "Mall?" Then her mouth opened in a wide grin as he fingers began to itch after a trip to the mall, it had been five months since she had last been in one, and she was just dying to see what the current fashion was in Tokyo. "Let's go!"
Cursing his mouth, Tai wondered if he had remembered to do his daily workout lately, he would need it, he could feel it, judging by her smile, he would be flat broke, not that he wasn't to begin with, it would be more like indebted for life to the different stores, but also suffering from a broken back from dragging home her shopping bags.
Seeing the scared look in her companions face, Mimi nearly broke down laughing. It was that funny to see such a look on someone who had wanted to take over an entire world. "Don't worry, I won't pay that much." Smiling as she spoke, she began to pull him towards the stores. "But you're still carrying your part of the stuff, got it."
Looking a bit relieved at what she had said, Tai still couldn't shake the feeling that he was being dragged towards something similar to a firing squad.
Further back, Matt dashed across the street, keeping a good distance to them as they vanished into the mass of people going in and out of the shopping mall. Looking up at the sign above the doorway, Matt gulped, he had never really been to the mall before, only when he needed something and this was the only place to get it. But to ensure that Mimi was safe, and Yagami wouldn't go off on another senseless quest of violence, he would enter this place.
And even longer behind him, Sora tossed away her newspaper as she saw her boyfriend enter the mall, a place she had been visiting a bit lately, but had been unable to drag him into too. And now it seem, all it took was Mimi dragging her boyfriend into one to make him enter it as well. "Matt, you better have a damn good explanation for this."
Inside the mall, Tai had relaxed a bit, as it seemed things were not as bad as he had heard. Mimi wasn't dragging him through every shop in sight or forcing him to hold everything. In fact, it was rather pleasant just walking like this, checking out the various things on display.
Holding up a pink sweater with a gold star on it, Mimi smiled as she posed a bit with it held out before her, the reflection of her in the glass window was rather poor, but still good enough to give her a hint of what she would look like with it on.
Putting it back down, she turned and grabbed Tai's hand for a second, showing that she wanted them to move on. "Let's check out that place over there." Even as she spoke, she stopped as she spotted a very familiar looking person reflected in the shop window.
Turning around to check it, she faced Matt standing over by the other shop, his eyes locked on Tai as the messy haired boy stared down at the floor with a tired expression. Frowing a bit, she turned back around and grabbed Tai's arm in a slightly less gentle hold. "Come on, let's go look at some of the other places."
Getting a confused expression at her sudden tense behavior, Tai stared as she started to drag him towards another store nearby, looking back over her shoulder from time to time. "Is something wrong?"
Staring at him with a startled look, she quickly smiled and shook her head. "No, it was nothing, just thought I saw someone I know." Shooting a look over her shoulder as she spoke, she glared at Matt as he continued to follow after them in a safe distance, feeling a bit of anger as she thought of going back to tell him to stop stalking them.
"Matt Ishida, what are you doing here?" Sora's voice cut through the air as Matt had moved out to follow after the other two again, his eyes growing big as he turned to face his girlfriend standing right behind him with an angry expression on her face. "Well?"
Opening his mouth to reply, matt froze as he felt someone else looking at him. "I would like to know that too." The words making him gulp as he found Mimi and Tai staring at him with various expressions.
Quickly taking a chance not to be thought of as a stalker, Matt grabbed Sora's shoulders in a gentle grasp. "Would you look at that Sora, there's the shop we were looking for." Tilting his head to face Tai and Mimi, he began to push the orange haired girl into the store he had spoken off. "Well, we'll be seeing you two later, okay."
Opening her mouth a bit, Mimi shook her head as she felt like rubbing it in completely puzzlement. "They shop for lingerie together?" Mimi questioned as she watched Matt and Sora walk down towards the more, risky part of the story. "Gee, who would had thought?" Her voice thick with sarcasm and doubt in the blond haired boy's explanation.
Staring up at the sign, Tai blinked as he saw Matt wave friendly at them while pushing Sora down an aisle. "I didn't know they were that close together." Getting a more depressed look, he sighed as he turned to face Mimi again; the slightly less puzzled look on her face. "I can't believe I missed out on something like that."
"Nor can I." Mimi replied as she started to walk off along with Tai. A small voice telling her that that it wouldn't be the last time something like that would happen.
Inside the store, Sora slapped Matt's hand of her shoulders as she rounded on him with raw fury in her eyes. "Explain Matt, why are you following her?"
Puzzled at her accusation for a second, Matt narrowed his eyes back at her as he crossed his arms defiantly. "I'm not following her, I'm keeping an eye on him." Looking out the store, Matt focused on Tai and Mimi as they walked off. "I don't trust him, not after what he did."
Sighing loudly, Sora stepped back and turned halfway around to face something else but him. "Can't you at least give him a chance, he's barely gotten back and you're already spying on him." Her voice slightly edged as she crossed her own arms in a defiant way. "He's my friend."
Not moving his eyes away from his target, Matt grumbled a bit. "Was your friend you mean, he's not the same anymore." As soon as he spoke those words, he cast a look over at Sora. "Look, I'm not going to let my guard down, not until I know that I can trust him 100 per cent."
Spinning back around at that comment, Sora eyes flashed with anger again. "So, you're saying you can't trust me, your own girlfriend, 100 per cent?" Seeing Matt's startled expression, she continued. "Don't deny it, if you can't even trust my judgment of him, then you don't trust me at all."
"But?" Matt started to say, but stopped as Sora had already stormed off with a dark look on her face. Sighing a bit as he lowered his head, the blond haired boy turned to look back out the window. "What was that about?"
--------------------The master grinned to himself as he moved back from the computer, a map of the digital world visible on the screen as he yawned loudly. Then he returned to studying it. "I finally found them, the remaining temples." Still grinning, he leaned his head back and stared up at the ceiling. "After so long a time I will finally get my revenge, and what should have been mine from the start."
A cold, biting snow filled wind wrapped around him as he stood on the top of the mountain, A small, Roman/Greek styled temple barely visible through the heavy snow storm. "You still seek to escape the human world." Snapping his head around at the sudden voice, he blinked as the wind continued to batter him. "I can help you with that, if you will do something for me in return."
Pushing the memory away, the master pushed back his chair and stood up, a dark look in his eyes as he walked over to the nearby window. "I never wanted to return to this ludicrous world." Clenching his hand around a small flower in the window, his eyes narrowed in pure anger. "This hopeless world with its mindless creatures!"
Out in the hallway, Oikawa smirked as he listened in on the master. "It would seem my houseguest, is suffering from an anger attack." Pushing away form the door, he quietly began moving towards the front door of the house. "It is something to be remembered, if it becomes necessary to ensure he sticks to the plan."
Stepping out into the bright sun filled summer day, Okinawa stuck both hands into his pockets. "But for now, I must see to some other interests." Laughing to himself, he walked off slowly, his eyes keeping a look out on the rest of the world, ready to judge it, and find a way to use any weakness he found, to his own personal gain.
--------------------Smoke rose up from the ground as Mummymon watched a team of enslaved digimon struggling to pull open the doors of the so called digital barrier temples the master had located. It had only been by sheer luck he had been passing by this place, as his quest for the destiny stones had brought him to this point.
And thanks to the Imitamon's posing as the champion level virus digimons Vilemon, he had been able to force the village into submitting to his will. And truth be told, he enjoyed the power they gave him, the feeling of superiority. "She will be so happy to know that I've done something right, just wait Arukenimon, I'll show you that I'm worthy enough for you."
Laughing as he lifted up his gun, he pointed a hand towards the terrified village digimons forced into helping them dig up the buried temple. "Work faster, or do you want to join the guardian of this place untimely deletion?" Laughing a bit, his eyes flicked to the side where he spotted a pink bird like digimon sneaking around. "You there, who told you could take a break? Get back to work!"
Turning around in a startled expression, Biyomon gasped as she saw Mummymon's dark glare aimed right at her, several lesser evil digimons flaking him as they also glared at her. "I must warn Sora, get her to help stop this." Flapping her wings, she took off from the ground, giving up on trying to escape from the place unseen now that she had been spotted.
Lone eye blazing with anger at the rookie digimon's refusal to answer, and her attempt at escape, the evil digimon lifted up his shotgun and pointed it at her. "Necrophobia!"
Screaming in surprise, Biyomon found herself forced to duck several blue and red colored streams of powers shooting close by her, several of the moiré jagged parts of it leaving her slightly hurt by how close they got to her. Tugging her wings in, she dived down to escape the energy beams and smirked as she heard the digimon curse lightly.
Turning back to the group of digimons, Mummymon pointed as the nearest Imitamon's. "You two, get back to work, and get those slaves working again" Obeying him, the rest of the group returned to getting the enslaved digimons to work even harder on clearing away the earth hiding the temple.
--------------------Back in the real world, Izzy sat in front of his computer, hands moving over the keys as he stared a at the map of the digital world closely. It was starting to look cleaner then before as several black colored squares had already turned back to white, signaling that the control towers in that place had been destroyed.
Moving over to his lab top, he frowned as he punched in some new numbers on it. Even at the rate they were going, it would take almost a year to clean up all the control towers and repair the digital world form the war against Ken. And who knew how much more damage would be done in the war with their new enemy.
Closing the lab top, Izzy frowned as he looked back at the computer screen. "I need more information to be able to come up with a good approach on this matter." And there was only one place to find this information, the former member of the evil group trying to take over the digital world.
Placing his lab top in a comfortable position on his back, he reached out to turn off his computer when two small windows popped up on it. "Gabumon, Biyomon?"
The digimons in question looked rather hurt as they both stared at the boy with a look of urgency in their eyes. "Trouble in my sector." Gabumon added as he looked over his shoulder. "Two humans are tearing up the place, told me to get the digi destined or they would completely destroy Santa Cera"
Biyomon coughed a bit as she looked around nervously as well. "I barely escaped a group of Vilemons coming here." Looking more serious then before, Biyomon shook the TV as she yelled out her warning. "A powerful digimon called Mummymon has attacked Iron City! He's forcing the digimons there to dig up an old temple for him."
Looking even more alarmed, Izzy grabbed his D-terminal and turned it on. "Stay where you are, I'll call the other digi destined and have them show up to help you ASAP."
--------------------Less then half an hour later, Izzy turned around to face the large group of digi destined after having finished explaining things to them.
"You're kidding me?"
Izzy shook his head at Matt's outburst; he had expected something like that, but never really prepared for it. But even he was concerned at what he had learned in the last 30 minutes. "Both Gabumon and Biyomon confirmed it, our enemy have several powerful digimons working for them."
Punching the wall, Davis snarled as he looked at the computer screen showing Gabumon and Biyomon recovering. "Jun, she's making her move." Watching the rest of the large group, his eyes narrowed even more. "I don't care what happens, I'm going in to face her, right now."
"Davis!" TK warned in a slightly harsher voice then normal, his own eyes narrowed in anger as well. "We're all going, but we have to take precautions, we can't storm in."
Pulling his anger back under control, Davis nodded as he continued to finger his digivice, a desire to just go in fighting growing with each passing second. "Fine, but what about that other place, this Mummymon character? He's clearly looting one of the temples Taichi talked about."
Izzy nodded as he watched the map he had brought up on hid lab top. "That concerns me too, but there are some good things about that, the area he's in has never been subjected to a control tower."
Looking rather put off by that comment; Matt watched his partner smile back at him on the computer screen. "A good thing Izzy, those damn things are never good news, no matter where they are."
Coughing lightly as he ignoring the insulting tone, the computer wiz faced his lab top again. "What I meant Matt, is that Jun knows about the control towers, and might reactivate them." Watching the group as he talked, he pointed at the sector that Gabumon was in. "Santa Cere suffered heavily from Ken's path of destruction, and still has several control towers erected nearby."
Kari looked up as she listen at what he said, an understanding lighting in her head. "So if they turn them on, the digimons can't use their normal digivolution."
Izzy nodded as he stood up. "There fore I suggest that the digi destined whose digimons can armor digivovle go there, along with Matt. At the same time, me, Sora and Joe will tackle this Mummymon, he seems to have the least forces with him."
"And Mimi?" Joe asked as he looked around the room, with a light puzzled frown on his face. "She's still here in Tokyo, and one of our teammates, plus from what you told me, Palmon cam reach her ultimate level again.
Izzy nodded again as he sat down in the chair. "Yes well, I sent her mail, but she hasn't answered it yet."
Matt growled a bit as e stood up. "Must still be hanging out with Taichi." Turning to face the group, he narrowed his eyes a bit. "Still, we have to go and help the digimons, so Izzy, send her another message, and we'll see if she can spare us a few minutes to help out."
Looking slightly ticked off, Sora punched Matt on the arm as she held up her digivice. "Can it Matt, I'm sure Taichi won't hurt her, right?"
Noting that Sora and the rest of the group was facing her; Kari nodded fiercely as she stepped forward. "Right, you've seen how he is, he won't betray us. I know it."
Not feeling rather convinced, Matt turned to face the computer. "Whatever, Let's just do this, are you all ready?" Getting a sharp, confirming reply from them, Matt stared at the computer screen. "Then let's do it."
--------------------Looking at a small screen, Jun smirked as she grinned to herself. Her brother and his friends had finally entered the digital world. Time to show them all just how much power she had finally gotten. "Arukenimon, they're here."
Moving away form the control spire she had been examining, Arukenimon smirked to herself, it was going to be so much fun to finally do what she had been prevented form doing. "Very well, leave the newest generation of brats to me, and you can handle the reruns." Running a hand through her hair as she spoke, the white haired woman pulled out three strands and grinned while lifting them up into the air. "Spirit Needle!"
At her attack yell, the three strands of hair stood up, and moved like it was in a breeze, before shooting forward to hit a control tower each. A deep, purple glow filling the air as they shattered and were drawn together, forming a much small shape. "That was one."
Jun smirked at her ally's words. "Nice, but check this out." At her words, she turned and picked up a small canister brought along just for this moment. "Okay, do your stuff little one." At her command, a transparent liquid seeped out and formed into a much larger version of the standard Imitamon. Turning to face her, it blinked its larges eyes as her digivice gave off bright glow, data streaming from its screen and into the Imitamon's body.
Growing in size, the digimon shifted around until it took on a more solid, and towering shape, the sight of the digimon making even Arukenimon raise an eyebrow. "Fine, you want to play, that's okay with me." Running her hands through her hair again, she pulled out a larger amount of hair strands. "Spirit Needle!"
Once again, a set of control spies tore themselves lose form the ground, breaking up and reforming into a digimons, this one hunched over with a dark look in its eyes.
Smirking, Jun lifted up her arm to summon another Imitamon, when her eyes spotted something at the corner of her field of vision. "Who's there!?" Yelling out the command, she turned around to see a shadow rapidly moving away from them. Darting into the broken up streets of the village. "Arukenimon, someone else is here."
Turning to face her partner in destruction, Arukenimon crackled with laughter. "Relax, most likely a digimon running for its life, nothing to worry about." Standing up in her full height, she smirked as she pushed her white hair out of her face with a small move of her hand. "Now, everything is set. Let us hope the digi destined scream extra loud as they are crushed into digi dust."
Laughing as well, Jun settled down into a cross-legged position, her whip resting against her cheek. "And after them, we'll destroy the rest of the worlds digi destined, no one will remain to challenge the master's rule of this world."
Arukenimon nodded absently in response as she looked up at the sky. "I wonder how dear little Ken is doing, now that he is no longer the digimon emperor, he is such a confused brat." Laughing, she walked over to look at a small TV set on the ground. "We have the place secured, and the trap is completely set now."
--------------------Back on earth, Tai and Mimi dropped back down onto a park bench, a tired expression on their faces as they leaned back to stare up at the early evening air. "So, how do you feel?"
Turning his head to face her, Tai gave a smile as he relaxed for the first time in one hour. "It wasn't so bad, but don't count on me doing it again anytime soon." Frowning a bit as he said the last, Tai moved his head back to stare at a small group of kids nearby. "But really, I liked spending time with you."
Nodding in reply, Mimi looked over at the kiss as well, shrugging her shoulders as she sat up. "The same here, I just wish I had gotten a chance to meet you, before you became, well."
"A bad guy?" Tai added in as he sighed a bit, sinking down a bit. "I wouldn't have minded that either, I've missed so much because of what happened four years ago."
Giving him a sympathetic smile, Mimi leaned back again. "Cheer up, you have a chance to put that behind you, I'd say your doing your best at that."
Grinning a bit at the strange statement. Tai finally looked down at the ground as his mind went back over the last few days' events. "Thanks, but nothing will ever be the same, not without Blackgatomon."
Looking at the depressed boy from the corners of her eyes, Mimi took a slightly deep breath. Wondering if it was a good idea to ask him, but also feeling that it had to be done. "Tai, where is Blackgatomon, did she?"
Tai simply lifted his head up to face her, the look in his eyes telling her everything she needed to know about. "I'm sorry."
Smiling a bit at her sincere words, Tai smiled a bit again. "She was always there, protecting me, making me feel complete when I needed it, and now, she's gone, forever."
The words hit her hard, as she could feel the emotion behind them clearly. The small black feline digimon had tried to become her friend, and gone out of her way to make sure she would help her save this boy from the evil controlling him, and, now she was. "Digimons can't die, they return to primary village, to be reborn."
Pulling his arms in close around him, Tai shoo a bit as the first tears and bitter memories of that day came back to haunt him again. "She gone, she wasn't a real digimon, just one of the master's experiments, but she felt real to me, she had feelings, and now, it's not fair!!"
Shrinking back a bit at the outburst, Mimi stared at the strong willed boy as he curled up into a ball before her. She had never expected to face something like this. "But, how could she, she." Reaching out, she pulled him into a hug, ignoring the looks she got from the other people. "Let it out Tai, let it out."
--------------------Mummymon turned away from his inspection of the central room of the temple ruins with a frown on his face. Secured in a small box before him was the core of this place, a simple task to secure it, it had still left him confused as he could almost imagine the power of the digimon it was made to look like.
But what really had him confused was the massive statue that had held it. Even with his back turned, he feel the stone eyes glaring at him. Shooting a look over his shoulder, he watched the bird like digimon statue for a few seconds, finally deciding to leave as the room in general had unnerved him greatly.
Watching the Imitamon's posing still posing as Vilemon, he grinned and walked off, taking the direct route to the entrance of the ruin. Not really caring about the writings on the wall, or the scenes they showed. "Arukenimon, be careful." Mumbling the small wish, he jumped out of the temple in a single move, landing gracefully on the ground.
Behind him, the fake Vilemons did the same, the box with the core held in their center as they landed and began to wait for further orders.
Turning around to face them, Mummymon eyes narrowed as he spotted six figures standing on the rocky hills surrounding the destroyed village. "The Digi Destined."
Sora smirked as she heard the words from the digimon, clearly he had not expected for them to show up so soon. "That's right, and whatever you're doing, you will stop it now." Shooting a look to her side, she saw that Izzy and Joe shared her same determined expression.
Smirking right back at her, Mummymon soon broke into a laugh as he watched the figures as they became easier to see from his position. "Nice try kid, but you outdated losers might have stood a chance, if your digimons could digivolve higher then Champion level."
Getting a slightly unsure expression at what he had just said, Sora quickly banished it as she focused on the digimon again, a look of anger flashing through her eyes. "We face down more powerful looking digimons then you, and we won over them all."
Lifting his shotgun, Mummymon grinned as the blue white beam shot out and blasted the rock apart below the human children, a scream of surprise reaching him as the kids tumbled down to land on the ground roughly. "Don't they teach you kids that looks aren't everything?"
Moving his attention to the fake Vilemons, he laughed as he pointed his free hand at the digimons and digi destined struggling to get up. "Get them, let none of them survive this."
Standing back up with a look of pain, Joe and Ikkakumon stared right at the advancing group of digimons with a trouble expression. "Can't we just for once have a nice easy battle?" The blue haired boy mumbled out as he backed off a bit. "Ikkakumon, stop them!"
--------------------Standing around in a small circle, the new digi destined, Davis, Yolie, Cody, TK and Kari stared at the remains of what used to be Santa Cera. All around them, buildings lay broken as a few digimons wandered around in a daze. "How could they do this?"
The question from Yolie had the whole group glare as they thought the same thing. TK, turning his head, stared up at the mountains around them. "More importantly, when and where will they pull the same trick?" His voice strained with the anger he felt at the level of destruction. "Come on, we have to find them."
"What?" Davis asked in a surprised manner as he looked over at the blond haired boy. "Shouldn't we help these digimons first?" His voice a bit confused as he saw TK start to walk away. "Hey, where you going?"
Looking back over his shoulder, TK stood completely still, his hands clenched up at his sides. "To find who did this, and stop them from doing it again."
Stepping forward and planting a hand on his shoulder, Kari could feel just how tense TK was as he moved to continue walking up the side of the mountain. "TK, I agree that we should stop them, but right now, these digimons need help." Moving her hand to point out the many digimons who looked hurt, or was just in shock.
"My, My. Looks like they made it here."
Turning around at the arrogant tone of voice, the new Digi Destined glared up at the Megadramon hovering in the air, and at the person standing on its back. Dressed in a wine red digimon emperor like suit with a full cape, Jun laughed darkly as she looked at each of the younger kids before her. "Now, why don't you all bow down before me, The Digimon Queen."
Eyes narrowing in anger, TK snapped out a finger to point up at the elder girl on the dragon like digimon. "How could you do something like this, how can you destroy and slaughter innocent digimons like this?"
Giving the blond haired boy a bored look as he spoke, Jun breathed on the back of her fingers and rubbed her nails on her sleeve a bit while overlooking the area around her. "Are you done now?" Her bored expression turned vicious as she stood up in her full height while cracking her whip in the air. "I would have loved to kill you right now, but my ally would like to have a crack at you fools first."
Lifting up a finger, she pointed into the distance with a grin. "And she brought her own friends along, and they been dying to fight you losers."
Turning their heads to the side, the digi destined gasped as they spotted three digimons standing on the top of a burning ruin, all of them laughing as they began to move forward.
Crackling evilly as she noted the looks of surprise on the digi destined face, Jun swept a hand out to point at each digimon in turn. "Let me introduce them to you, first we have Hyougamon, his Ice Cudgel and Snow barrier will leave you longing for a hot summer day."
At her words, a blue colored Orgemon like digimon grinned as he stepped forward, a small cross like club of ice slug over his shoulder.
Moving her finger to the next one, Jun's eyes narrowed in glee as she recognized the digimon she had crafted from the Imitamon, and random data she had picked up. "Here the fiery star of eh show in my opinion, Darklizardmon, his Dark flare and Sniper fang will burn your digimons to digital ash." Her finger pointing at a lizard like digimon standing on its hind legs, its body looking it was made up of black colored fire with a small metallic mask on top of its head.
Her finger moving on to point at the last digimon, her eyes gleamed darkly as she grinned at the sight. "Completing this tag team of evil digimons, we have Thundermon, he may be small, but he packs more then a million volt in his body."
Smirking darkly as she lowered her arm, Jun stared at the digi destined with half closed eyes. "Three evil digimons, one for each of you newbie brats."
"Three?" TK asked puzzled as he looked at the group, then back at Jun as he reached down a hand for his digivice. "I think you counted us wrong, there's five of us." Grinning a bit, he lifted up his digivice and D-terminal. "Now, step down and surrender, or I'll force you too."
Nearly laughing at the tone of voice she was presented with from the young boy, Jun simply cracked her whip in the air, a dark shadow passing over her. "No, I counted you right Blondie, three for the newbie losers, and Saberdramon against you and the little girl."
Shooting out of the sky after passing overhead of his partner, Saberdramon shot down through the air and grabbed Kari in his claws, taking advantage of their too shocked to move state, to carry her away from the other digi destined. "TK Help me!!" But not fast enough to prevent her from calling for help.
Turning around as soon as he saw the bird/reptile like digimon fly off with Kari, TK clenched up hid hands, his head snapping around to look at Jun. "Let her go! Fight fair dammit!"
Looking un impressed, Jun simply motioned for Megadramon to fly off. "But I will, all I want, is for you tol follow him."
Still looking mor ethen angry at her casual and mocking tone, TK rushed off after Kari, her safety the first thing on his mind. "Davis, handle those digimons, I'll save Kari and come back to help you."
Looking a bit offended at TK's order Davis moved to follow after the blond haired boy. Only to draw back on shock as the three other digimons jumped down in front of them. "Dammit." Forcing a word of annoyance form him as he jumped back out of their reach.
Grabbing his digivice as soon as he landed, Davis held it out along with his D-terminal. "Everyone, Armor digivolve." At his command, his flipped open the D-terminal, smiling as the digiegg of friendship popped up on the small screen.
The same action repeated by the other digi destined as they also pulled out their own digivices and D-terminals. Four other digi metals showing up on each of the screen.
"Digi Armor Energize!"
Glowing brightly as the digiegg of friendship merged with him, Veemon grinned as he jumped up into the air. "Veemon, armor digivolve too, Raidramon, Friendships Storm!" The four legged, metal-covered reptile digimon landed on the ground.
Hawkmon, lifted up from the ground as the digiegg of sincerity merged with him, a bright light covering his body as it began to twist and turn. "Hawkmon armor digivolve too, Shurimon, Samurai of Sincerity!" The larger digimon form landing on the ground with his double stars held ready.
Glowing with white light as well, Armadillomon spun around as the digiegg of Knowledge filled him with it powers, causing him to double in size easily. "Armadillomon digivolve too, Digmon, the drill of Knowledge!" the light fading to reveal Digmon standing in the place of Armadillomon, his drill hands held up in attack position.
Smirking Arukenimon yelped and jumped back as a blue white beam lashed out at the place she had been standing at a split second before. "Who did that?"
Stepping out from behind a ruined building, Matt glared at the witch like human from his place on Garurumon's back. "We did, hope you don't mind us crashing your party?"
Smirking, Arukenimon grinned as her body twisted and slowly turned into a giant, six legged spider like body with a humanoid upper body. "No, it just means I get to hurt someone as well." Slapping out her arms, she grinned darkly as Garurumon jumped forward to attack her with another beam of bluish white energy beam. "Spider Tread!"
Looking down at the scene from a burnt, halfway ruined tower, a human boy frowned as he looked after the bird/reptile like digimon with its captive, and then at the three digimons facing off against the fake digimons. "This is worse then I had imagined. How could they have so much dark power as to do something like this."
On his shoulder, a small digimon looked down at the scene with a similar concerned look on its face. "You are going to help them right?"
Smiling a bit with as he petted the digimon, the boy nodded as he lifted up his digivice. "Of course, I owe it too them after all."
