Let's begin the next chapter!

On the day after Yugi defeated Mariku and locked him away, night has arrived upon Shinjuku and no one knows what true horror Lucemon has them in stored. All except one...

On the top floor of a hidden building, ShadowRanamon stared through a broken window and stared at the moon with a frown. "Lord Lucemon... What are you planning...?"

"Penny for your thoughts...?" Came a voice. Sighing, ShadowRanamon turned around to see LadyDevimon hovering out of the shadows. "You are thinking very hard, water girl. What are you doing here anyway?"

Putting on a fake smile, ShadowRanamon lied. "Nothing much, sugah. Just thinking the good ol' days when me and ShadowGrumblemon were part of Lord Daemon's Shadow Warriors when we were in the Silesia World..."

Oh, how could LadyDevimon ever forget the Shadow Warriors? Long ago, Daemon was working for Valmarmon, the most powerful Demon Lord Digimon to exist. He is so strong, even Milleniummon and his higher forms will fall before him. People may figure that most of his strength must have been lost after his defeat against the Divine God, Granasmon, and was easily defeated by Susanoomon, the final evolution of the Legendary Warriors. Last time people know of Valmarmon was his spirit escaping his defeated Inferno Mode body.

Along with ShadowRanamon of Water and ShadowGrumblemon of Earth is ShadowArbormon of Wood, ShadowMercurymon of Metal and Duskmon of Darkness. And only ShadowRanamon and ShadowGrumblemon are the survivors as the other three were defeated by the Legendary Warriors during their final attack at Daemon's castle before Valmarmon was revived.

Daemon once had a massive army and now, only six remained. ShadowRanamon, ShadowGrumblemon, SkullSatamon, MarineDevimon, LadyDevimon and MechBlastoisemon. Of course, MechBlastoisemon was now a Canntoisemon for reasons in the past during his battle against the Tamers.

Although, even if the lie was enough to convince most people... LadyDevimon wasn't. Instead, she hovered next to ShadowRanamon while crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Don't lie to me, ShadowRanamon. There is something your hiding... Tell me, it's about Lord Lucemon, hmm?"

Sighing, ShadowRanamon turned away from LadyDevimon. "Of course it is, sugah... Of course it is... He is planning something and I'm desperate to find out what it is!"

Staring through the window, LadyDevimon suddenly said... "Do you remember how we first met Lucemon...? Days after we lost Daemon and Valmarmon was defeated...?"

"How could I forget...?" ShadowRanamon muttered. "We witness his rebirth from his dark data that Ophanimon's Chosen Children didn't scanned... He appeared before us in his Rookie form and offered us to work for him..."

Giving off a small grin, LadyDevimon looked at ShadowRanamon. "And I can remember how Lucemon made sure you were loyal to him... by making you and ShadowGrumblemon to destroy your own Shadow Beast Spirits of Earth and Water!"

"No more BlackCalmaramon for me... and no more BlackGigasmon for ShadowGrumblemon..." ShadowRanamon muttered. She sighed. "What is he up to...?"

Nodding, LadyDevimon stared at the moon. "Good question... Ever since you brought back Velene during our trip to Silesia, he never mentioned a word what he'll do with her..."

Remembering the other task, ShadowRanamon decided to tell the truth. "That... and something else... Lucemon made me take a data sample out of the Guilmon owned by a Tamer..."

"Really...? Why...?" LadyDevimon asked.

"I don't know... but, I have a feeling we'll find out sooner or later..." ShadowRanamon whispered. "And I know that we'll like it, it's the Legendary Warriors and their friends that will be suffering..."

Can't get to sleep and pacing inside his office in the Duelist Academy, Professor Chronos wasn't happy to have Judai Yuki to respersent this very school that he works in for Kaiba's upcoming mini-tourament.

"L'OH caro, l'OH cher! What is Kaiba thinking...? Asking that drop out to be in this mini-tourament! If he loses..." Chronos moaned with a mixture of French and Italian words together. "Ciò è terribile! C'est horrible! Oh, what am I going to do...?"

(Oh dear! Oh dear! This is terrible! This is horrible!)

Sitting down, Chonos had a bright idea. "Of course! In order for that drop-out boy not to compete is to make sure he doesn't show up! I'll lock him into a room and have someone much better to take his place! Perfetto! Merveilleux! What an excellent idea!"

Now all he has to do... is wait for the big moment to arrive.

000000000000000000

Lucemon Chaos Mode held his hand over Velene's head, reading both her mind and memories. If Lucemon wants to suceed to make Velene join his side, he must know the strength and weaknesses of Velene...

"Thank you, Angemon... For saving us... My name is Anzu... and this is my daughter, Velene... Please tell us, what just happened to us? How long have we been out...? And, where is my husband, Isono, and my other daughter, Telene...?"

"I am sorry, Anzu... You and Velene are the only survivors of that village..."

That brought a grin to Lucemon's face. "Ah, yes... LadyDevimon told me about this... Half of the Deva clan turned their backs on the Granasmon Holy Cathedral and joined Daemon's side... Intresting... Any more...?"

"Say it, mom! They know what has happened to them! So, go on! Say it!"

"Velene..."

"Oh... I'm sorry... Did I disturb you...? Never mind, go back to your praying! I don't care!"

"Velene... You should care... I know your still upset but, you still need to let it go..."

"Oh, I am, mother... I am! I just wonder why you look so pathetic doing all those prayers when they are worth nothing!"

"Get back her, right now, Telene!"

"My name is not Telene! My name is Velene! Telene is my twin sister that has died along with my father and the other villagers from a Digimon attack that happened two years ago! Don't you ever call me that name again, mother!"

Lucemon laughed again. "Wonderful! Wonderful! If I keep on looking through her memories, an idea will come to me..."

"Velene... I'm sorry... A Digimon called Yamidramon... killed your mother, Anzu..."

"Intresting turn of events..." Lucemon smirked.

"YES, ESPA! YES, I WILL MARRY YOU!"

Then, Lucemon frowned. "OK... Now, THAT will make me feel a bit sick..."

"Velene, Espa... Congradulations... It's a boy..."

"So, she has got married and have a child, hmm...?" Lucemon muttered, removing his hand off Velene's forehead. "She has so much emotion for a six-tailed brown fox..." He then, grinned. "Of course! I'm going to break her spirit down with her own family!"

Picking Velene up in his arms, Lucemon stood in the middle of the room as he started to be clouded in darkness with Velene... "The time has finally arrived to bring forth a demon priestess!"

And then, it happened...

00000000000000000

Yugi opened his eyes to see the spirit of the Millenium Puzzle, Yami, standing near the window with a fearful look on his face. "P..Pharaoh...?"

"Yugi... I can sense a great and powerful evil coming from somewhere in this city..." Yami whispered with fear in his voice. "It must be this Lucemon! He is up to something!"

"H...he is...?" Yugi gasped. "But, how...? After seeing his image, he looked like a child..."

Bowing his head, Yami remembered about the tale of Lucemon. "According to what Takuya and his friends faced against Lucemon, Lucemon can evolve to stronger forms... He might be in his Ultimate form known as Chaos Mode..."

"Ch...Chaos Mode..." Yugi whispered in horror. After seeing Lucemon as an angel-child, he began to get more worried after hearing that one of the angel-child's Digivolved form has a name that sounds deadly.

"Lucemon, whatever your up to... I do hope we will be able to stop you!" Yami hissed.

00000000000000000

Yami Yugi wasn't the only one to notice Lucemon's growing darkness powers... In HYPNOS, Kari was standing near the window in her shirt and shorts and stared through it with fear in her eyes.

"Wha...What powerful darkness... EVIL darkness... And he isn't like Lowemon who is kind and couragous... Who... What... What is going on here...?" Kari whispered, fear laced in her voice.

It was time...

00000000000000000

Somewhere within a dark pseudo-space... After having being kidnapped by the sinister Lucemon, a female Vulpix hybrid found herself trapped inside a sphere. She slowly started to come about and immediately gasped once gazing upon what looked like a pseudo-space dimension. There was not a sign of life anywhere nor would it be suitable for any form of life. The background was just it should be: complete darkness. The Vulpix hybrid, known as Velene, slams her fists against the barrier sphere that contained her.

"Where am I? Vulko? Espa? Is anyone here!" Velene cried out.

Suddenly, there was a deep chuckle coming from within the darkness of the pseudo-space. The chuckles were enough to freeze Velene in place as she felt frightening chills down her spine. Her fur straightened up while feeling a cold chill from within the air. A pair of neon eyes emerged through the darkness. Velene turned to find the eyes staring into her. She jumps back but never uttered a scream. Her mouth was as dry as cotton.

"Who... Who's there?" Velene piped.

"My, you've already forgotten about me already?" Said a cool and meanacing voice.

"Lucemon! You monster! Where have you taken me! This isn't look like anything in the Digital World!" Velene said.

The voice of Lucemon laughed. "You're right. We are in pseudo-space, created by me that is located between the Digital World and the Real World of the Digimon Tamers! I've taken you here so that no one has a chance to intervene and rudely interrupt our conversation."

Even though Lucemon was known to be dangerous and powerful, Velene stood up to be brave. "What do you want from me, Lucemon?"

"That's not important now, Velene. You are someone I can use to help crush the Tamers, the Legendary Warriors and their allies. Since Mariku has been defeated, I will need you to take his place." Said Lucemon as he appeared in his Chaos Mode form.

Velene was shocked but, she soon laughed at that. "Me? Ha! Forget it, Lucemon! You'll never force me to fight the Legendary Warriors! They have saved my home from Valmarmon, not once but twice! No way I will betray them!"

However, Lucemon just smiled. "Oh, but would it be wise to refuse accepting my offer, dear Velene? You wouldn't want to die by my hand."

"I'd rather die than be forced to destroy my friends. My son and husband will be saved when you are defeated!" Velene said, turning her back on the infamous Fallen Angel.

"That's another reason why I brought you here, Velene." Lucemon said, cooly.

Gasping, Velene whirled around. "Huh? What are you trying to get at here?"

"I don't think it would be wise to return to your sweet, darling family." Lucemon continued.

Confused, Velene stared at Lucemon. "Why not? When you're defeated, I will return back to my family."

"I see, but I doubt your family would even give you a warm welcome. As long as you remain trapped here, you will be nothing more than a distant memory to them." Lucemon explained.

"That's rubbish." Velene scoffed.

The grin on Lucemon's face grew wider. "Oh, you don't believe me? Why don't I show you a look at what your 'dear' family is up to now?"

With that said, Lucemon snapped his fingers and a visual image of Velene's home appears before him. Velene pressed herself against the barrier while scratching onto it. She felt her heart sink to realize that Lucemon is displaying an image of her home. Then, her heart stopped beating for a few seconds as she saw her son and husband outside their home smiling and laughing. She wondered what they were so happy about. Her husband was an Espeon hybrid and her son is a Vulpix hybrid child of eight years.

"Espa? Vulko? What's going on here?" Velene questioned the image. "Why are you laughing? You should be looking for me. What is going on here?"

"They have already forgotten about you, Velene. They could care less if you died the next morning." Lucemon said.

Growling, Velene whirled around and glared at Lucemon. "That's not true! I will not listen to anymore of your lies!"

"No! You're useless, Velene!" Called a pair of voices.

Velene turned around and found the image fade away. Then, out from the darkness, emerged her husband and son. Her mouth widened until a grin formed. She sits up and runs up them embrace them. "No, you wouldn't say that. Would you? I'm not useless..."

"Hmph, you were always useless. You never even had the courage to avenge your mother by getting rid of the Devas that destroyed your home village." Scoffed Espa while pushing her away. "You've had and always will be a coward who must resort to healing."

"But..." Velene started.

"Why would I want a mother who can't even let me grow up? You always hold me back!" Vulko hissed.

Velene was taken back by their venomous tones. Her eyes slowly started to swell up with tears. Espa walks up to her and pushes her down. He then took Vulko's hand and started walking back through the darkness. "No, please! Wait! Don't leave me!"

"Let's go, Vulko. We're leaving this trash heap and we'll forget we ever knew her. We'll start a new life as father and son. There's no place in this world for cowards." Espa said.

Tears started to form in Velene's eyes. "Please, don't leave me... I love you dearly! Vulko! Espa! Don't!"

Vulko spins around and ripped a necklace from his neck. He tosses it across to where Velene was kneeling. This was the same necklace she gave Vulko when he was a newly born. "You can keep this, Velene!" Vulko chuckled. "I don't need this because it will only remind me of you! I never liked it in the first place. Now go. I don't EVER want to see you again."

"Vulko..." Velene choked a tear as she picked up the necklace. "I... I'm sorry... I should have given you a little more freedom..."

"It's too late for that, Velene. You've let us down," Espa said. "Let's go, Vulko. It's just us now."

"Yay! Just you and I, father! A new happy life!" Vulko cheered.

"No! Please... I can't stand being alone again. I've lost everything and I certainly can't lose the most important souls in my life. Without you, I have no life..." Velene whispered as Espa and Vulko vanished through the darkness.

Lucemon hovered near Velene. "This is not your fault, Velene. You tried so hard to being the best mother you could ever been. You wanted to be as good as a mother as Anzu. No, I take that back. You wanted to be better than her! In truth, they never cared for you. They used you just to get where they are. Without you, they would have not survived. You give them the kind touch to comfort them. You give and they spit across your face!"

"They have...? They really don't care if I live or die?" Velene whispered in a sad voice.

Lucemon nodded. "That's right. Those heartless souls don't deserve to live. Everyone you've card for never really card for you. Yes, even your deceased family considers you weak and worthless."

Velene gasped. "No! That can't be true! I've prayed to their graves every time I visit them!"

"Yes, but they don't think they deserve your blessings. They died to get away from you. They considered you the 'black sheep' and even the 'kiss of death'." Lucemon said.

"Kiss of death?" Velene asked, shock on her face.

"Yes, they died because they considered you a cursed soul. They chose death over remaining by your side. What kind of heartless souls would ever do that to their child and sibling?" Lucemon said, laughing on the inside as he knew this is working.

Another image appeared before Velene and this time a group of figures appeared. She immediately pointed out to them and remembered their faces. The figures belonged to a Ninetails hybrid couple. They were her mother Anzu and her father Isono. Then a smaller figure emerged as another Vulpine hybrid. This was her sister Telene. Their eyes were lifeless and bore no sign of innocence. Velene gasped in horror since it has been years since she had gazed upon her beloved family. Had they returned to life and answered to her blessings?

Standing up, Velene's face showed signs of shock. "My family... How...? They're supposed to be dead."

"They have come back to see you, dear Velene. And they want to greet you after so many years. So on. See if they share the same feelings for them as you do for them." Lucemon said.

Velene ignored Lucemon's taunting words and runs up to her family. However, just as she came closer, a barrier blocked her path. She couldn't even reach out and make contact with them. It was as if a holy barrier was constructed to keep Velene at bay. "I don't understand this...? Momma? Poppa? Telene? I've missed you! You have answered my blessings!"

"Blessings? Now that's a laugh." Snickered Anzu.

Velene's eyes widen in shock. "Momma?"

Anzu's eyes showed anger and hatred. "Don't call me that! I've never had a child named Velene! Only Telene! Who are you stranger?"

"No, it's me, Velene! I'm just grown up since you died. Look, I even raised my own family. I've wanted to become a wonderful mother like you. Please, don't be like this." Velene pleased.

"You stay back, demon!" Hissed Isono. "You abandoned your mother when she was killed by Yamidramon! She was slain like a lamb and you abandoned her! You left me and Telene to die! Everywhere you go, someone close to you somehow loses their life. You always manage to escape death by a small margin. You are the incursed 'Kiss of Death.'"

"Father..." Velene gasped, stepping backwards.

"Don't you ever call him that!" Growled Telene. "A real sister would never leave their sibling to die! You just had to live in order to spread the curse and eventually mother died because of you! Everyone dies except you, Velene! What more? Espa and Vulko left you in order to spare themselves to escape death! They would rather live happily. I don't blame them."

Velene fell to her knees. "This can't be true..."

"You are the personification of death, Velene. Don't even think about spreading more death everywhere you go. Spare Silesia World and the Digital World. Spare Lord Granasmon. Spare the Three Angels and spare the Sovereigns! Spare them all by dying!" The three images spat out. "Just die already and everyone will be spared!"

Velene fell to her knees and held her head. She felt her body convulsing violently while hearing everyone she ever loved spouting out venomous words of hate towards her. She immediately sat up and screamed out in anguish. "STOP IT! JUST, STOP IT!"

The female Vulpix hybrid buried her face into her hands and let out tears of sadness. Her heart stopped once she realized that her 'family' had spoken cruelly of her.

Lucemon walked over to Velene while the images of Anzu, Isono and Telene were gone. "You see, Velene. This is not your fault. They died because of their own mistakes and are putting it out on you poor thing. So much pain and anguish in that pure heart of yours. You certainly do not deserve this life. Even your own mother, father and sister have turned away from you. They have thrown away every blessing you have given them. My dear Velene, it's time to make them understand how you feel. It's time to show them that you will not be forgotten! Your only family has turned away from you. Make them feel your pain. Show them that you will never forgive their cruelty!"

Velene looks up directly at Lucemon, who finally landed on the ground with his arms crossed. The corrupted angel steps forward and holds a helping hand to the sobbing female. "Do you wish to gain revenge and make them remember who you are?"

Slowly nodded, Velene sobbed. "Yes... But how do I do that?"

"Allow the powers of darkness to comfort you. Believe me, there's more to darkness than you believe. It's not always evil. It can guide a lost soul and comfort in times of depression. In this case, you will need it." Lucemon said, grinning.

"But I..." Velene started, staring at the ground.

"You have my blessings and my sympathy, Velene." Lucemon quickly said.

"Thank you..." Velene closed her eyes as a dark wave swirled around her body. The darkness was finally being absorbed into Velene as she lets out a gasp. She could hear Lucemon's comforting voice telepathically soothing her.

"It's all right, dear Velene. Give into the darkness. Give into the malice. They don't deserve your mercy. You are better than them."

"Yes, I am better than all of them! I am the best!"

Lucemon hovers over Velene and spreads more of his dark mystic magic over the female. She became bathed by more darkness until her entire body was enveloped by pure, black darkness. Velene started to undergo a slight transformation. Her fur started to become a darker tint and her pure innocent eyes gave way to hateful, demonic eyes. Small claws extracted from her hands. Her arms stretched out to become garbed by a dark hooded cloth.

"Yes, Holy Priestess Velene. Become one with my darkness and emerge as my Dark Priestess. You shall be reborn as my mistress and replace Mariku! The darkness will infuse with your spiritual awareness to make you stronger than you have ever been. Light is for the weak! If your one with the darkness, you will live. But if you let light win, then you will die! Emerge, my Dark Priestess! Together we shall punish everyone! Including your only family!" Lucemon called out.

As soon as Lucemon finished speaking, the dark cloud wisped away to reveal a new figure in place of the innocent Velene. She was now a dark hooded figure with a pair of neon-yellow eyes emerging under the hood. She lets out a deep giggle and became basked in a dark purple aura. Her figure was much slimmer as if built for combat. She unveils herself with her face exactly the same shape except with darker fur. Despite this, she no longer resembled the once innocent, pure Velene.

"You have finally come out of your shell, Dark Fox. Velene is no more. You are now only Dark Fox, my Dark Knight Priestess." Lucemon said, with a grin.

Dark Fox, formerly known as Velene, kneeled before her new lord. "It's an honor to serve you, my Lord Lucemon."

Lucemon laughed. "How does it feel to have true power, dear Dark Fox?"

"Perfect. This is exactly what I needed. I'm no longer the weak, helpless Velene everyone has turned their backs on. I shall make everyone pay for their crimes. Starting with the ones I once considered my family: Vulko and Espa." Dark Fox said, showing hatred in her eyes.

"Excellent! Now, we shall start off by creating a little chaos when daylight arrives..." Lucemon said. "And hopefully, we can gain attention to some of those retched Tamers, Legendary Warriors and all their allies! Shall you assist me by confronting them yourself?" Lucemon asked.

Dark Fox bowed. "Yes, my lord. I shall take care of them myself."

Lucemon smiled. "Oh, here's an even good reason to attack them first."

"Why's that, Lord Lucemon?" Dark Fox asked, lifting her head up.

"Because I have a feeling that there is a good chance that if we happen to mention your former weak name, your so-called 'son' could go with them and hurt his own mother a bit more..." Lucemon explained. "Don't you wish to inflict pain on him? He's already turned his back on the one who once called 'mother'."

Suddenly, bitter hate and darkness took a hold of Dark Fox's heart. She growled angrily at the mere mentioning of her son's namesake and slams her fists together to form an dark energy sphere.

This amused Lucemon a bit. "Ah, I see you've harnessed the ability of your new powers."

"Just call this my Shadow Ball. I shall use it to destroy those pitiful weaklings, including the brat that turned his back on me. They will pay for what they've done to me!" Dark Fox hissed with venom in her voice.

"Good. Now, when the time we create a little chaos in Shinjuku arrives, it will also be time to show your worth, Dark Fox. You will find where Vulko is and attack him and the group he is with and make them remember what fear feels like!" Lucemon said, smiling.

A cruel smile and dark look in her eyes came from the unholy priestess. "They shall fear the name... Dark Fox!"

And the pendant that the Vulko image left behind shattered...

00000000000000000000000

The eyes of Vulko flew open in terror as he sat up from his sleeping position. He took a few gasps of breath. "M.. Mother..." He slowly got up and looked about. Everyone was asleep, including the Silesia Veemon, whom was sleeping beside him.

Recollecting himself, Vulko got up and slowly made his way out of the room. "Mother... what is happening to you...?"

Only one saw Vulko leave and was awake the entire time... Yugi's Dark Magician. Ever since he sensed the enermous power from Lucemon, he could help but, be worried. He became concerned for the child's departure. "His mother and this darkness of evil... could there be a connection...?"

0000000000000000000000

Massive sweatdrop from MarineDevimon as he couldn't get one wink of sleep... due to a SkullSatamon that was cooing and stroking a cheeseburger. He slowly turned his head around. "You know... I knew it was a matter of time when you bring out that unknown amount of that cheeseburgers... Too bad it happens at night..."

"Just my mid-night snack..." SkullSatamon said.

Whirling around, MarineDevimon showed signs of being peed off. "IT'S NOT MID-NIGHT, YOU TWIT! IT'S TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING! HOW CAN THAT BE A MID-NIGHT SNACK?"

"I'll get back to you after my BBBBBIIIIIIIGGGGGGGG snack!" SkullSatamon chimed.

Before he could take a gulp, a black ball of energy came out of no where and slammed into the cheeseburger before dissolving it into nothing.

That took MarineDevimon by surprise. "What in the...?"

Tears fell from SkullSatamon's eyes. "WAH! THE POOR CHEESEBURGER! WHO DARE DO THIS TRAGIC THING TO A POOR DEFENSELESS FOOD!"

"Memo to myself... never kill burgers in front of him..." MarineDevimon muttered before he whirled around to see a figure hidden underneath the hood. "Who are you...?"

The figured walked into the room with a cruel, female chuckle. "I am your new ally..." She removed her hood to show her Vulpix face. "I am Dark Fox..."

"Original name, hmm...?" MarineDevimon mused.

Looking up, SkullSatamon blinked. "Hey... what is that priestess Velene here for...?"

Gasping, MarineDevimon stepped back in shock. "V..Velene...? The last survivor of that destroyed village in Silesia? How... can this be...?"

"I use to be that cowardly Velene... but, thanks to Lord Lucemon... I am finally free to harm those who harmed me... Like my family..." Dark Fox said, with a cruel smile.

SkullSatamon walked over to MarineDevimon. "What is she talking about...? Her family didn't harm her, it was Makuramon and the traitor Devas that caused her harm..."

"Yes... Wonder what Lucemon did..." MarineDevimon muttered.

Nearby, ShadowRanamon stood in shock when she saw and heard Dark Fox. "No way... Is that why Lucemon-sama wanted Dark Fox...?"

LadyDevimon was standing beside her. "I guess so..."

"Creepy..." ShadowRanamon muttered as she started to walk off. "I wonder what he is going to do with that data disk..."

"I dunno..." LadyDevimon sighed before she lifted her head up. "Data disk...?" She whirled around. "What data disk...?"

ShadowRanamon turned back to her companion. "Remember the day when I collected the roboticizer plans for Mariku...? Lord Lucemon had me to take data samples from the Tamer's Guilmon...?"

After hearing that, LadyDevimon blinked. "Why...?"

"No idea, sugah... but, just as I soon found out what Dark Fox is... I'm sure we'll find out what he'll do with Guilmon's data..." ShadowRanamon whispered.

0000000000000000

Next morning has come and yet, something wrong has came to HYPNOS...

"HE HAS WHAT?"

Dark Magician cringed at the Silesia Veemon's yelling. He bowed his head. "I am sorry... I thought he got up to calm himself... I would never know he would do this, young Veemon..."

"What's going on...?" Came a voice. Ash, Misty, May and the Spirit Digidestined entered the room. Apart from Takuya's group, they all came to collect their Pokemon and Digimon.

Silesia Veemon ran over to Takuya. "Big problems! Big, big problems! Vulko is missing!"

Takuya gasped. "Wha..? When...? How...?"

That was when the Dark Magician stepped up. "Last night, I sensed a dark evil energy coming from this city... And not only it disturbed me but, it seems it also disturbed young Vulko... he woke up last night, muttering out his mother's name..."

"Velene...?" Zoe whispered.

"Are you saying that Vulko's mother and this dark energy have something in common...?" Ash asked.

Sighing, Misty wacked the back of Ash's head. "Quiet..."

The Dark Magician smiled a little. "Yes, I'm afriad it might be true... In any case young Vulko got up and let the room. His face showed fear... I just thought he got up to calm himself but..."

"He is very worried about his mother, you guys... I heard that Velene's past wasn't a pretty flower... more like a thorn from a poisonous plant!" Silesia Veemon said. "We have to find him! He is so worried about his mother that he doesn't remember that he will totally stand out as a Vulpix hybrid!"

May bended down and patted the Silesia Veemon on the head. "Don't worry... We'll find him. Besides, I'll bet he is hiding in the alleyways like you two use to do before you were brought here..."

Looking around the room, Koji sighed. "Guilmon, Renamon and Terriermon aren't here... They either left or their Tamers picked them up... Either way, we better start searching for Vulko right away..."

Ash took out two Poke-Balls from his belt. "Swellow! Grovyle! Return!"

Getting the idea, Misty took out two of her Poke-Balls from her belt. "Gyarados! Politoed! You guys return as well!"

"Combusken! Beautifly! Return!" May said, holding up two of her Poke-Balls.

Once six Pokemon returned into their Poke-Balls, Pikachu hopped onto Ash's shoulder. "Pika...?"

Ash looked at his best Pokemon and frowned. "Vulko is out there... we need to find him!"

"PIKA!" Said the electric mouse, smiling.

Bending to her knees, Misty smiled at her chirping Togepi. "I'm sorry, Togepi... You can't come... I have a strangest feeling it is too dangerous for you to come... I'm sorry but, I don't want you to get hurt..."

"Toge..." Said the small egg Pokemon before he was picked up gently in the pure white tails of Brendan's Ninetales. Togepi started to chirp happily. "Toge! Toge Ppppri!"

The Ninetales smiled happily as she walked off. "Nine!"

JP sweatdropped. "Nice motherly type..." He looked down at Silesia Veemon. "Keep calm, Veemon... We'll find Vulko!"

"We'll be right back! Tell the others what has happened and also, tell them we'll be fine!" Tommy said as the Tamers and three Trainers left the room.

Nodding, Silesia Veemon waved his hand. "Good luck, you guys!"

However, the Dark Magician frowned. "This dreaded feeling won't go away... What is happening...?"

000000000000000000000

Somewhere in Shinjuku, Vulko peered around the corner of a alleyway and sighed. "What am I doing...? Why did I leave the building...? I can't find mommy like this... I'm gonna have to wait for night to arrive before I can get back to HYPNOS without anyone seeing me..."

He sighed and sat down. He took out the pendant that his mother gave him and sniffed. "Mother... where are you...?"

000000000000000000000

"Hey, isn't that Vele... Dark Fox's kid...?" SkullSatamon asked.

Lucemon lifted his head as he sat on his throne to see SkullSatamon standing in front of his viewing orb. A cruel grin came onto his face when he saw Vulko sitting all alone in the alleyway. "Perfect... Just perfect..."

Blinking, SkullSatamon turned around to Lucemon with a confused face. "Erm... sir?"

"Dark Fox, come forth!" Lucemon bellowed.

From the shadows, the menacing form of Dark Fox stepped out with her face hidden by her hood. "You called, Lord Lucemon...?"

Chuckling, Lucemon didn't looked at Dark Fox even though he was talking to her. "Your son is out there, all alone... Now is your chance to attack!"

Hissing, Dark Fox's hatred for her son rose up as she bowed. "Thank you, Lord Lucemon... I will make him pay!" And with that, she vanished...

"Having her attack her own kid... That's pretty low, Lord Lucemon... With due respect, of course!" SkullSatamon quickly said.

But, Lucemon just gave off an evil laugh.

00000000000000000000

Rika sipped her drink while showing signs of small fear on her face. She turned and looked at Henry and Takato. "So... that's all Mokuba said...?"

"That's right, Rika..." Takato said.

Henry sighed. "Of course... Mokuba did say that Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor and the Winged Dragon of Ra might have more powers unknown to either himself or Yugi..."

When the Primary Tamers collected their Digimon, Takato and Henry proceeded to tell Rika about the effects of the three Egyptian God cards that Yugi has got in his deck. After witnessing Obelisk's power against Mariku and his Exodia Necross, Rika know that these Gods are not to be taken lightly. And after hearing the effects of Slifer and Ra, she can't help but wonder if she'll survive her Duel against Yugi...

"So... the only way to prevent Yugi to summon a God is make sure he doesn't arrive a turn with three monsters on his side of the field...?" Rika asked.

Takato nodded. "That's right, Rika... Then again, Yugi WILL find someway to summon a God... And even if he doesn't, he will beat us with or without the Egyptian God cards... He is known to that... He beat Seto Kaiba in the last Battle City finals with his Dark Paladin and Diffusion Wave Motion combo!"

Henry nodded. "Yeah... and he did beat the creator of Duel Monsters, Pegasus... So, I think you two might stand a chance against him..."

Putting the empty can away, Rika smiled a little. "I'm sure your right... Best way to make sure we survive is to make the perfect Duel Monster deck!"

"Ahuh... And we face him, we'll make sure we are no push-overs to Yugi and his..." Takato started when Renamon appeared. "WHOA! Will you ever stop doing that, Renamon? Your gonna give me a heart attack one day!"

Smirking a little, Renamon turned to Rika. "I can sense it..."

Standing up, Rika looked at her Digimon with worriness and confusion. "Sense what, Renamon...?"

"...It's not a Digimon, Rika... but, I can sense evil from within her... She heading that away! Her powers rival an Ultimate!" Renamon said.

Takato gasped. "An Ultimate...? And it isn't a Digimon...? Who could this new opponent be?"

Henry got up from the bench and grabbed Terriermon, whom was hiding in a bush. "No time to figure that out! She must be after someone or something! We better have Renamon lead us to there!"

"Erm... what are you guys talking about...?" Terriermon asked.

"Guilmon! Come on!" Takato called out.

Guilmon also leapt out of the bushes. "Coming, Takatomon!"

As the Tamers followed Renamon, a drunken man was sitting on a bench a few metres away from them. He passed out and just woke up to see three kids running off with their Digimon. He blinked and looked at the bottle he held before dumping it into the bin.

"That's it! No more late-night drinks for me!"

000000000000000000

Staring into the sky while hiding in the alleyway, Vulko frowned. "It's so early... Either I have to wait until nighttime to head back to HYPNOS or wait for the others to find me... If I pick the first choice... what will I do until night arrives...?"

"How about suffer in torment and heart-breaking pain...?" Came a cruel voice with a small chuckle.

Crying out in shock, Vulko leapt up and darted his head about. "Who...? What...? Where...?"

"Over here..." Said the cold voice. Vulko whirled to the shadows of the alleyway to see Dark Fox walking out. "Hello, little Vulko... I am Dark Fox, Lord Lucemon's newest servant..."

"D...Dark Fox...?" Vulko gasped. "Your not a Digimon...?"

Dark Fox shook her head. "Nope... I am something more different... and you shall not find out..." She brought out her sharp claws. "Once your in a thousand pieces..."

Gasping in horror, Vulko started to back away. "G...Get away from me!"

That got a laugh from Dark Fox. "No chance, kiddo!" She leapt up to give the fatal blow to Vulko when...

"DIAMOND STORM!" "BUNNY BLAST!" "PYRO SPHERE!"

Recalling, Dark Fox vanished and teleports near the shadows to allow a blizzard of white diamond shards, a green blast of energy and a ball of fire energy to pass right by him. She smirked. "Looks like Vulko will not be the only one withering in pain once I'm done..."

Whirling around, Vulko smiled at the sight of Takato, Henry and Rika coming to his aid while Renamon, Terriermon and Guilmon prevent Dark Fox from doing something so low. "Thank you!"

"V..Vulko...? Why are you out here...?" Henry asked, shocked.

"Long story! All I can tell you is this woman tried to kill me! She is called Dark Fox!" Vulko said.

That got a scoff from Rika. "Dark Fox, huh...? Once we are done with her, she'll be called Mincemeat!"

Renamon, however, growled. "No, Rika... We must be careful! I can sense powerful energy from her! Remember what I told you, her power is the strength of an Ultimate Digimon!"

Nodding, Takato took out his golden D-Power. "Well then, let's even the odds!"

"OK!" Said Henry and Rika as they took out their D-Powers as well.

Dark Fox didn't looked too worried. She smirked as the Digimon Tamers slashed blue cards through the side of their D-Powers. "Do your worst, foolish humans..."

"DIGI-MODIFY! MATRIX DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!" Came the call of Takato, Rika and Henry.

(M-A-T-R-I-X D-I-G-I-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N)

"Guilmon Matrix Digivolve to... WARGROWLMON!"

"Terriermon Matrix Digivolve to... RAPIDMON!"

"Renamon Matrix Digivolve to... TAOMON!"

Cruel chuckle from Dark Fox as the towering form of WarGrowlmon and the hovering forms of Taomon and Rapidmon. "You think that can scare me, you got it all wrong..."

"That's enough from you!" WarGrowlmon said, charging up the small cannons on his metallic chest armour before firing twin beams of intense energy. "ATOMIC BLASTER!"

Rapidmon fired a couple of missles from his cannon hands. "Catch this! RAPID FIRE!"

"Hope you like art!" Taomon said as she drew a symbol in the air with her paintbrush. "TAILSMENT OF LIGHT!"

Giggling, Dark Fox simple vanished and allowed the attacked to hit each other to create an explosion. After that, she reappeared nearby on a wooden crate. "You missed..."

"She's fast..." Takato muttered. "How on earth was she able to survive that...?"

Vulko gasped. "She...She used Teleport! A Psychic Pokemon attack!"

That took Henry by surprise. "A Pokemon attack...?"

Sniggering, Dark Fox created a ball of fire in her hands. "OK, big boy... Let's see if your tough against this..." She threw it. "FIRE BLAST!"

WarGrowlmon cried out in pain as he was being pushed back by the force of a 5-star flaming attack. "WARGH! WHAT IS THIS?"

"Your turn..." Dark Fox said in a sing-song, releasing another fire attack from her hand that surrounded Rapidmon and Taomon in a pillar of flame.

"WE'RE TRAPPED!" Rapidmon gasped.

Taomon gritted her teeth. "I knew she wasn't a pushover the moment I sensed her..."

Chuckling, Dark Fox turned to the slowly recovering WarGrowlmon. "It'll be a while for those two to be free so... the moment they come out, they will see you and those four brats in pain..."

WarGrowlmon roared with rage. There was a five-stared burnt mark on his metal chest armour. "I'll not let you have the chance!"

"Please... You hardly got to see my power... And if you don't like it, then you should call for back-up then..." Dark Fox laughed.

"EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" "AGUNIMON!" "LOBOMON!" "KUMAMON!" "LOWEMON!" "BEETLEMON!" "KAZEMON!"

Gasping, Dark Fox whirled around to see the Legendary Warriors arriving with Ash, May, Misty, Pikachu, Swellow and Beautifly. She grinned. "Well, well... More targets..."

May gasped at the sight of Dark Fox. "Wha...Who is that...?"

"I dunno but, she is ugly!" Misty said.

Takato smiled. "Hey, guys! What brings you here...?"

Ash stepped up. "We came out here to find Vulko and had Swellow and Beautifly to fly over Shinjuku to find him. They led us here the moment they saw you guys..."

"HURRICANE WAVE!" Kazemon yelled, bringing out invisible wind energy from her fingertips before blowing the swirling flame pillar off of Rapidmon and Taomon. "Are you guys okay...?"

"We're fine! Now, let's take care of this freak once and for all!" Rapidmon said.

Giggling, Dark Fox created another ball of flame in her hands and threw it towards the two flying Pokemon. "Never leave weak beings unguarded!"

Gasping, Ash and May quickly brought out their Poke-Balls to bring in their Pokemon! "RETURN!"

The blast of flames wizzed away as Swellow returned to Ash's Poke-Ball and Beautifly returned to May's Poke-Ball. Misty stepped up and brought out two Poke-Balls. "Fire, huh...? Well, I'm gonna put it out! GYARADOS, POLITOED! GO!"

"GROVYLE! I CHOOSE YOU!" Ash called out before looking at Pikachu. "Go for it!"

"Pika!" Said the yellow mouse, hopping off his trainer's shoulder.

"GO, COMBUSKEN!" May yelled out, throwing her Poke-Ball. "Give up now, your out-numbered!"

The Poke-Balls opened up to reveal Misty's Gyarados, Misty's Politoed, Ash's Grovyle and May's Combusken as Pikachu joined them.

Beetlemon turned to WarGrowlmon. "Give us the heads-up about this gal..."

"Her name is Dark Fox... and she is using Pokemon attacks!" WarGrowlmon said.

"Pokemon attacks?" Kumamon gasped. "Like what...?"

"Fire Blast, Fire Spin and Teleport!" Vulko called out. "Her powers matches an Ultimate Digimon!"

Rika scoffed. "No matter... She is out-numbered, what can she do...?"

Dark Fox sniggered. Surrounded by the Legendary Warriors, the Ultimate form of the Tamer's Digimon and cornered by a Pikachu, Grovyle, Politoed, Gyarados and Combusken. The hooded villian soon laughed evilily.

"What is so funny? Your surrounded! We have the Legendary Warriors on our side!" Takato said.

"If the Legendary Warriors knew who I really am, they wouldn't touch me!" Dark Fox replied.

Lowemon raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

Sniggering, Dark Fox shook her head. "All of you are idiots..." With that, she pulled her hood down.

Horrified gasps came from Vulko and the Legendary Warriors as they saw the real face of the mysterious Dark Fox. The true idenity of Dark Fox was... Velene, the missing Vulpix hybrid from the Silesia World, as well as Vulko's mother. Takato, Rika, Henry, Ash, Misty and May looked confused. The face was shaped like a Vulpix's minus evil look in her eyes.

May was the first to ask. "Who is she...? Do you know her?"

Beetlemon nodded. "Yeah... she is Velene!"

"WHAT! She is the missing hybrid!" Ash asked out loud.

Dark Fox/Velene laughed eviliy. "I'm not missing anymore, aren't I?"

"Mama, why are you doing this?" Vulko asked, not believing that his own mother is now evil.

To Kumamon's shock, Dark Fox created a Shadow Ball in her own paws. "No way! Velene is a Vulpix! They can't learn Shadow Ball! This is impossible!"

"It's not possible for her! She is filled with pure evil!" Lobomon said.

Vulko gasped. "Mama! Stop! Why!"

"I was tired of being the little goody foxy Velene! The Velene you know is dead, you brat! Now stands before you is Dark Fox!" With that, Dark Fox threw the Shadow Ball.

"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Agunimon screamed as he and the other Digimon and Pokemon leapt out of harm's way.

Although, Taomon noticed that the Shadow Ball was still moving and was about to hit the Tamers, Trainers and Vulko. "RIKA! WATCH OUT!"

The Shadow Ball created an explosion which caught Takato, Rika, Henry, Ash, Misty, May and Vulko in it's shockwave. When the smoke was cleared, the victims minus Vulko were on the ground, out cold. Their clothes were ripped and were started to bleed. To Kazemon's shock, Vulko recived massive wounds on his body.

"VULKO!" Kazemon screamed before she whirled on Dark Fox. "HOW COULD YOU! HE IS YOUR SON! WHY DID YOU ATTACK HIM!"

Dark Fox laughed. "He is no use to me! I don't care if that brat pushes the daisies up or something!"

Roaring, WarGrowlmon stepped up. "Vulko always tell us how Velene was kind and sweet! YOUR NOT VELENE!"

"Of course, you idiots! I am Dark Fox!" Laughed the evil ninja-like creature.

The five Pokemon and Taomon were checking on their friends while the Warriors, WarGrowlmon and Rapidmon continued to confront Dark Fox. Vulko slowly lifted his head up and looked at his mother. She was laughing and enjoying seeing people hurt, even if she harmed her own flesh and blood. "No! You can't be my mother! You must be a clone!"

Smirking, Dark Fox took out a small pendant and threw it near Vulko. "Take a look, brat! I kept it as a small piece of evidence to convince your pathetic little mind!"

Slowly picking the pendant in his paws, tears dwelled into Vulko's eyes. "No... it's the pendant I brought for my mother's birthday... It's true... Dark Fox is my mother..."

"I can't believe this..." Agunimon whispered.

"Oh, better believe it, Warrior of Flame!" Dark Fox said. "It's really true!"

"No... no... no..." Vulko whispered before he fell out cold.

Dark Fox smirked and turned around. "Better get help for your pathetic friends or they might never wake up!"

Lowemon growled softly. "You better warn your master that we'll get Velene back! One way or another!"

Dark Fox gave off a forced laugh before she started to walk away. "I'll leave you alive this time, you pathetic beings. But, once I returned... you can be sure I will send you to Hades!" She laughed darkly as she disappeares into the shadows.

Agunimon roared in anger before turning to Lobomon. "Contact the others! We gotta take them back to HYPNOS for medical attention! Vulko needs it a lot!"

Nodding, Lobomon turned and ran off to find the nearest phone.

Muttering slightly, Agunimon relaised that even though Mariku was gone, Lucemon was about his forces was becoming stronger. Maybe he is the true evil after all...

0000000000000000000000

Lucemon laughed as he witnessed the results that Dark Fox did, a cruel smile on his face. "Excellent! I crippled the beliefs of Dark Fox's young child and those foolish Warriors! Of course, it won't be long until their hopes raises up again..."

He got up from his throne and walked past the viewing orb. "Time to check on my second new recruit to my forces!"

Nearby, SkullSatamon shuddered at the sight. "Whoa... That's low..."

MarineDevimon was nearby and sighed. "Baka... it's suppose to be low... he's the bad guy... WE'RE the bad guys..."

"We are...?" SkullSatamon blinked.

"Yes... we are..." MarineDevimon growled. "Don't you remember...? We are the bad guys...? We once tried to take Chatsuramon's brother, Labramon, and Mihiramon's sister, Jaguarmon, while we were still in Silesia!"

Scratching his head, SkullSatamon looked confused. "Was it before or after that Jaguarmon Digivolved and blasted us in Team Rocket-style...?"

MarineDevimon sweatdropped. "Before... We could catch them sooner if you didn't ate over 200 of your rotton cheeseburgers!"

"THEY ARE NOT ROTTON! Which reminds me... I SHALL GO ON A MISSION!" SkullSatamon said, in a dramatic and silly pose.

The sweatdrop on MarineDevimon got bigger. "What... sort of... mission...?"

Taking his staff, SkullSatamon pointed to the sky. "To avange the cheeseburger that fell in the hands of Dark Fox!"

And that got an anime-fall from MarineDevimon. "Should have seen this coming..."

"Don't worry, my cheeseburger! I SHALL AVANGE YOU!" SkullSatamon said as he dramatically walked out of the room.

Groaning, MarineDevimon rubbed his head. "Some things will never change..."

Back in HYPNOS, Takuya was busy looking at his D-Tector and was concentrating. Tommy and JP entered the room with serious looks on their faces.

"Hey, guys... How are the...?" Takuya started.

"Takato, Henry and Rika are doing fine..." JP said. "So is Ash, Misty and May..."

Takuya gulped. "And... Vulko...?"

Tommy smiled slightly. "He's gonna be fine, Takuya... The wounds weren't fatal... His body willrecover but, I dunno about his spirit..."

"He's gotta know that who attacked us wasn't her mother!" Takuya said before he sighed. "I'mcontacting Chatsuramon in the Soverign's realm... He, Mihiramon and Vajramon need to know this... Need to know about Velene..."

"I agree..." JP whispered before he blinked. "Erm... what is that...?"

Takuya and Tommy followed JP's gaze and sweatdropped to see Agumon, Gabumon and Gatomon posing as statues... painted themselves grey.

Smiling sheepishly, Agumon gave off a little wave. "Au revoir..."

Gatomon sweatdropped. "That is French for goodbye, you moron..."

"What are you guys doing...?" Takuya asked.

Gabumon grabbed Agumon's arm and Gatomon's arm before running off. "Nothing! If you see afrench chef, tell him we moved to New Zealand!"

"Bonjour!" Agumon called out as he and Gatomon were dragged away by a running Gabumon.

The three Spirit Digidestined could hear Gatomon yelling to Agumon. "THAT IS FRENCH FOR HELLO, AGUMON! LEARN THE LINGO!"

Silence came over to Takuya, JP and Tommy until... "Hello, Takuya...? Is that you...?"

Lifting his D-Tector up, Takuya sighed. "Chatsuramon...? Listen, I got some bad news for ya..."

00000000000000000

Somewhere in Shinjuku, a new arrival appeared in a bush of the park. It was a small black dinosaur and held a blue device with red markings. "I'm here... now to find my partner..."

00000000000000000

The laughter of Lucemon echoed throughout the room as the tube slowly opened up and letting it's occupant out. "AT LONG LAST! HE HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!"

Lucemon's newest addition was a Guilmon with opposite colours. Meaning his scales were black instead of red and the black markings were now red. He gave off a cruel smile and bowed in a smart-like voice. "Lord Lucemon, how nice to see you. I am your faithful servant, BlackGuilmon!"

"Welcome to the team, BlackGuilmon! I assume you know your power, hmm?" Lucemon asked.

BlackGuilmon nodded. "Correct, my lord. All knowledge of my powers are right in my brain before I came out! I would like to try it on my brother, Takato Matsuki's Guilmon..."

Lucemon held his hand up. "Later... his Tamer is recovering right now from an attack... You can do what you want for now... Tomorrow is when you show yourself and your powers!"

A grin came onto BlackGuilmon's face. "Thank you, my lord..."

Dark Fox was born and showed off her dangerous powers onto the Tamers and her own son! Lucemon brought the data samples of Guilmon to life into BlackGuilmon! Lucemon is making a comeback! What is going to happen...?
