Chapter 12: A Perfect Plan

"Are we all here?" Lucemon asked from the head of the table. He looked like a very strong young man with blonde hair wearing thin, tight clothes. The right half was pure white and he had five angel wings, and the left was pure black with five demon wings.

"Yeah, finally." Beelzemon said impateintly. He looked like a tough biker with a silver metal tail and spiky light blonde hair. At his side were two double-barrel handguns and a purple mask covered the top half of his face. In the middle of the mask over his forehead was a third eye. "Seriously, why are you always so late Belphemon?"

"Not my fault I over slept." Belphemon answered. He was a large monster that stood a head above Lucemon and Beelzemon. He had chains wrapped around golden gauntlets on his claws. The fur on his body was a dark brown, almost black, and his eyes were a pure glowing blood red. On his back were eight demon wings. "Why did you make this meeting room so small anyway? I hate having to shrink down."

"Because I hate having to make myself bigger and I'm the boss." Lucemon snapped. "It's not my fault you and Leviamon are super sized."

"Hey, that's size discrimination." Leviamon complained. Leviamon was a large orange crocodile with blue spines going from his nose to the tip of his tail. His eyes were deep red and normally he was the largest of the Demon Lords.

"Yeah well, maybe it is. Oh well." Lucemon said with a bored tone. "So Daemon, what did you want to tell us? Now that we are all here." He said with a glare at Belphemon.

"I have discovered where the item is." Daemon said, using the word item to keep all of you readers guessing. The room was silent for a minute while all of the other Demon Lords beside Lilithmon looked at him.

Finally Beelzemon asked. "You found it? Where? We've scoured the digital world to find it and all of our leads came up empty. Where did you find it?"

Daemon stared at all of his colleagues. Even Lucemon, their normally cool tempered leader, was staring at him in apprehension. "That, my friends, was the problem the whole time. We assumed that the item was hidden in the digital world, but in reality it was hidden in the human world."

"Recently, I have been sending a few of my subordinates to the human world. I noted that they always came out in one remote area. A park located in a city in Japan. It raised my suspicions but I decided to wait and see what happened. My suspicions were raised further when a digimon dark digivolved. In fact, two of them did." Daemon continued.

"After this, it appeared that the Royal Knights realized that there was something wrong with the area. So they sent an emissary. However, on it's way here I intercepted it my self and forced it to digivolve in that area. The result was a dark digivolution." Daemon concluded. "I would estimate an eighty percent chance of the item being there."

"I never thought of the human wolrd. I assumed he hid it with one of his subordinates." Barbamon said. Barbamon looked like an old man with a very large and long beard. He was dressed in blood red robes and a wooden staff was in his right hand. "I apologize Beelzemon, but it seems out attack on HiAndromon was for nothing."

"No problem for me. I liked fighting that loser." Beelzemon said with a smirk. "So boss man, what's our next move?"

Lucemon sat back in his chair and pondered it for a few minutes. "We need some form of verification. However, the fact the Daemon went to the human world was very irresponsible. If the Royal Knights had found out, we could have faced a few complications."

"I apologize Sir, but it was something I had to do." Daemon said.

"I have a suggestion." Barbamon said. "We have one option but it is fairly simple. The plan is to trick the humans into discovering it for us and then sending an army to steal it, and I know exactly how we can do that. I have a nice little loophole in mind."

"What loophole?" Belphemon asked.

"You see, the Royal Knights will only intervene if a strong high power Mega level like us goes through the gate. So one of us just needs to get weaker." Barbamon said. "He needs to be beaten down so much that he reverts to a weaker state so he can go there and start pulling a few strings."

"Who do you have in mind?" Belphemon asked.

Everyone turned to him and smiled.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Hi Jasper, hi Lockheed." Adam greeted when he opened the door.

"Hi Adam." Jasper greeted. "Do you want to go to the arcade that just opened up down the street?" he asked hopefully.

"I don't know." Adam said as he looked down at the egg in his arms.

"Man, it's a good thing that our school has been having electrical problems. Otherwise, you would never come until that egg hatched." Jasper joked.

"Yuppers! He's just like a mom." Lockheed agreed.

"Please come Adam? It's the opening day and I heard there are a lot of cool games there." Jasper pleaded.

"Hold on." Adam said before withdrawing back into the house. He walked upstairs to Haseo's room and knocked on the door.

"Yes?" Haseo's voice asked from behind the door.

"I need a favor." Adam said. Haseo opened the door to his room. Inside was a bookshelf in front of one of the walls with half of the rows covered in big chapter books and the other half covered in manga. Sitting on the bed were Dorumon and a worried looking Strabimon. Next to the bed was a small desk with all sorts of papers, notebooks, and drawing utensils strewn across it and a rolling chair in front of it.

"How may I be of service?" Haseo asked.

"I really want to go to a new arcade that opened up down the road, but I don't want to bring my egg with me. I don't want it getting stolen or hurt or anything bad like that. I was wondering if you guys could watch it for just a little bit. I know it might sound wrong to dump my future partner on you guys, but I haven't played with Jasper or Lockheed in quiet a while." Adam explained.

"I understand Adam. Ryu-nisan, Strabimon, and I shall watch over your egg." Haseo said as he took the egg with care. "It shall not be harmed while in our presence."

"Thanks Haseo!" Adam yelled before rushing downstairs. Adam flung the door opened and ran out to Jasper and Lockheed. "I'm ready to go guys. I got Haseo to watch the egg for me."

"Good." Jasper said with relief. "I know that you care about your egg and all but I haven't seen you in a while."

"Yuppers! You've been really wrapped up in that egg business." Lockheed agreed.

"Well I know, but I want to make sure nothing happens to it. It's my future partner after all." Adam said.

"I know but don't you think you're taking things a little to far? I mean you're with it almost twenty-four seven." Jasper said.

"So I'm protective, big deal." Adam snapped.

"Never mind Adam. Just remember that some children in nature, eat their care givers and homes. Baby wasp larvae slowly eat the insect that carries them around." Jasper warned. Adam glared at his friend and was about to say something when Jasper cut him off. "Look at that crowd!" he yelled. Adam looked over and saw that a lot of kids and teens had also decided to check out the new arcade.

"Wow." Lockheed said. "Yuppers! That sure is a lot."

"Hiya kids!" a large bear yelled as it jumped in front of them. Several parts of the costume seemed to be sown together where it had torn and a large heart picture on his stomach had a hose that lead to a gas mask on it's face. "Are you here for the big opening?" he asked.

"We sure are." Adam said excitedly.

"Well then here you go!" the bear exclaimed as he twirled around and had three balloons in his hand. He handed a purple one to Jasper, and yellow one to Adam, and a blue one to Lockheed. "Have fun in there. Don't be afraid to spend your allowance." The bear said as he moved out of the way and let them into the arcade.

The arcade was a large room filled with several games ranging from dancing, to shooting, to fighting, to classics, and to the newest titles. Adam, Jasper and Lockheed tied their balloons loosely to their wrists so they wouldn't float off and then cashed in their combined money for a lot of tokens.

The group rushed to play the games. Adam, Jasper, and Lockheed continued playing games as the hours flew by. They met a few friends from school and played all sorts of games in groups and solo.

"Hey!" Jasper yelled when Lockheed accidentally popped Jaspers balloon. Lockheed had just lost another round on the fighting game and jumped up and down in anger. One of the horns on his head hit the balloon and popped it. "Lockheed, what did you do that for?" Jasper complained.

"Sorry Jas, it was an accident." Lockheed insisted. "I just hate losing."

"Come on guys, it's getting dark. Let's cash in the tickets we won from the other games and get some prizes." Adam said.

"Alright." Jasper said. The small grouped walked up to the counter and waited for someone to come.

"Well hello there boys. What can I do for you?" a kind brown haired man asked. He was wearing the same outfit as the rest of the employees as well as a brown hat with a strange symbol on the front..

"We're looking for some prizes." Adam answered.

"Really? You're looking for prizes at the prize exchange? Imagine that." The man said in good-natured sarcasm. "You know, I think I saw something around here earlier that would be perfect for you." He said as he pointed at Jasper. He turned and looked around the wall and muttered to himself about the location of the prize.

"That!" Jasper yelled as he pointed to a small necklace hanging on a hook in the wall. The string was silver thread that looked like it would fit perfectly on Jasper. The gem was a small purple square on top of a blue diamond shape. It was a very good false necklace, because the blue plastic sparkled just like a real diamond would.

"There it is." The man said as he got it down. "500 tickets please."

"I don't know." Adam said as he eyed a pair of glow in the dark vampire teeth.

"Please Adam." Jasper begged. "Can we please get it, please? I promise you can have all the tickets next time we come here. And I'll pay you back too, but can we please get it? I don't know why, but I really need that necklace."

"Alright, just calm down. You look like you're about to wet yourself." Adam said. He turned to the man and said, "We'll take the necklace."

"I thought you would." The man said as he handed it to Jasper. Jasper looked at it, with Lockheed looking over his shoulder.

"Are you alright guys?" Adam asked.

"Huh?" Jasper asked and looked at Adam as if he had forgotten he was there. "Oh, yeah. Thanks a lot for this Adam. I owe you one." He said as he put the necklace on.

"No problem." Adam said but was cut off by a scream. The three of them looked over at the group of people still at the arcade. The balloons that everyone had were starting to increase in size. As they expanded, they sucked up the person they were attached to. Jasper looked back to Adam as his balloon enlarged and grabbed him as well.

Lockheed was also sucked up but he wouldn't stay restrained. "Baby Breath!" he cried as he shot a fireball at the prison and blew it up.

"Are you alright?" Jasper asked.

"Yuppers, but they aren't." Lockheed said frantically. He aimed for Adam's balloon and cried "Baby Breath!" as he fired another fireball. However this time, it bounced off of the balloon and went flying in the opposite direction, narrowly missing Jasper. "It's a good thing I blew up your balloon." He said worriedly.

The door to the arcade opened as the bear from earlier walked in. The doors shut behind him and were wrapped up by silver chains with a dark green energy around them. "Hiya kids! I sure hope you enjoyed your playtime! I wouldn't want your last minutes of life to be sad!"

"Who are you?" Jasper yelled. "You're no mascot, that's for sure."

"You're right, I'm not!" the bear yelled as a dark energy surrounded him. He grew taller until his head was just under the ceiling. The seams on his paws ripped as silver needles stuck out of them and two small but sharp horns stuck out between his ears. "I'm Pokyupamon!" he roared triumphantly.

"What do you want with these people! Let them go!" Lockheed yelled.

"Make me!" Pokyupamon roared.

"Baby Flame!" Lockheed yelled as he shot a fireball at Pokyupamon. It hit the bear's stomach but didn't even leave a singe mark.

"My turn!" the large bear roared. "Slap and Rip!" he roared as he swung a paw down and hit Lockhed up into the air. The silver needles extended on his other arm before he slashed it down across Lockheed, and sent him plummeting to the ground. He landed with a loud thud.

"Lockheed!" Jasper yelled in distress.

"I'm not done yet." Lockheed gasped as he rose from the ground.

"I'll change that. Madness Brooch!" Pokyupamon cried as he struck the ground where Lockheed was and trapped him in the needles he left in the ground.

"No!" Jasper yelled. "Please, stop hurting my friend!" he begged.

"Why should I?" Pokyupamon asked. "Tell me why I should spare this miserable excuse for a digimon and let your friends go."

"Because he's my friend!" Jasper yelled. His body was suddenly covered in a shining purple light. The light focused around the blue crystal on his necklace and it began shining. The transparent plastic casing burst open to reveal a pure blue diamond.

"Dracomon shinka, Coredramon Blue!" Lockheed cried. Lockheed grew much taller. His scales became tougher, his horns sharper, his claws more menacing, and his teeth extended. He spread out his wings and roared as he threw the spikes off of him. "Yuppers, I'm ready for another round!"

"I'm ready to help. Coredramon, hit the lights!" Jasper yelled. Coredramon followed the order and blasted the lights as he shot blue fire from his mouth. The room was covered in darkness.

"Where are you?" Pokyupamon asked angrily.

"Fire from 45 degrees!" Jasper commanded.

"Blue Flare Breath!" Lockheed roared as he shot a blue flame at Pokyupamon. The bear roared as he was pushed back by the fire.

"Fly!" Jasper commanded. "Now attack from a 180 degree angle!"

"Blue Flare Breath!" Lockheed roared. Pokyupamon roared as he felt fire strike his legs.

"Where are you!? Where!?" Pokyupamon roared in pain and anger. He began wildly slashing everywhere in a vain attempt to strike Coredramon. Finally he connected with something. "I've got you! Madness Brooch!" he roared as he extended his claws and struck forward. He roared in pain as the exposed electrical wiring electrocuted him.

He fell down with a thud and shrunk back down to size as the back-up generator turned on and lit up the room with the undamaged lights and games. Pokyupamon stared in shock when he saw Coredramon hadn't moved at all. "But he said you were flying."

"Exactly, but I also whispered for him to ignore that command. We never moved the whole time. Every attack was calculated right from the beginning when we hit down the lights." Jasper explained. "We tricked you into electrocuting yourself with those metal spikes of yours."

"Damn you punk." Pokyupamon grunted.

"Let our friends go or else." Coredramon threatened.

"Fine." The bear said as he shot small needles and popped all of the balloons. Jasper and Lockheed both ran over to Adam.

"Are you alright?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah. I think so." Adam said.

"Never look away from an enemy!" Pokyupamon roared as he jumped up and aimed for Lockheed's neck. He ducked away but the spike narrowly touched his neck. Lockheed's pupils dilated and his horns and claws began glowing red.

"Gekirin Shurunen 2!" he roared as he began launching lasers all over Pokyupamon. The bear roared in pain as more lasers blasted into him. Lockheed turned and roared as he shot lasers all over the room.

"Calm down Lockheed!" Jasper yelled. "Calm down." He said sternly as Lockheed stared down at him. He glowed red before turning back into Dracomon. "What happened?" he asked.

"Pokyupamon touched your gekirin." Jasper answered. "And I think he got away too."

"Great, now let's go before anyone else wakes up and sees what we just did.' Adam said hurriedly as he pulled his friends out of the now unlocked door.

"Ow." Belphemon grunted as he limped into his room. "That stupid dragon. I can't believe he managed to do this much to me! If I had been able to be in this form, they would be hanging from the main rooms mantle by now." He flopped onto his bed with a sigh. "Ahhhh, it's good to be lazy."
