Chapter 50

Dark Plans

Aug 1st (11:30pm)

Myotismon gave a small smirk as he neared his hideout. Although his night search went shorter than he expected, the fact that he now had a human slave made it all the more while. The boy, Constantine, stirred softly in his arms, the travel seemed to have lulled him to sleep, along with the initial bite he received, the endorphins in his body really put him out even with the pain in his leg.

'For this wolf creature, he seems to be fighting every step of the way, but what exactly is he hiding? Better yet, whom is he hiding?' Myotismon pondered as the sight of his hideout got closer.

Even though with the first bite, Myotismon learned as much as he could about the teenager; his age, family and his unique side. Something else he seemed to be blocking from his powers. No matter, in time the boy will talk. He didn't care how long it took; his curiosity in the wolf formed seemed to be getting to him as well.

Upon entering the building, immediately he felt something unfamiliar. Something did not seem right, even though none of his henchmen were presumed harmed. No matter, he would get to the bottom of it later. For night now, he had to place his 'slave' in a remote location. He was in luck with the lower section of the building that would work perfectly for a cell.

It didn't take long, however, before Kudamon, Phantomon, and DemiDevimon to head down to the hall toward him. The annoying bickering from his most loyal subjects rang inside his ears.

"I don't that…creature. What in the world allowed you to even suggest that?" DemiDevimon squawked.

"Do you truly think I would have let him in? I had no control over the initial thing. I felt as if he took over my body."

"The Master is not going to be thrilled to find that this creature is in his lair," Phantomon chided.

"Think I don't realize that? Honestly, you two weren't there."

"No, we just came in to see a strange person sitting on the master's throne."

"Care to elaborate more on that?" Myotismon replied coldly once the three were close to him.

The three stopped dead in their tracks and looked up at their Master, sweat dropping as fear overwhelmed them. They thought that perhaps there would be a little more time to plan things out and figure out a bullshit lie. For now, it was do or die; there was no chance of lying to him, or backing away.

His ice blue eyes narrowed down to slits as he waited impatiently for a response from the three. He was not a patient Digimon by any means. Constantine was lying crumbled at his feet, eyes shut in perfect sleep unaware of what was going on. Neither of his main henchmen was talking, they were getting squirmy and edgy.

"Well?" Myotismon growled.

"The thing is my lord," Kudamon piped up uneasily. "There is someone who wishes to speak with you. We…we're unsure of what his objective is master."

"How was it that he found about this place?"

That was when the three really gave each other uneasy looks, their eyes spoke the loudest. The three were tying to debate who the unlucky sap was to inform the master. Kudamon shot them a glare that spoke thousands that she already spoke enough and did not need to anger him further. DemiDevimon looked at the two and blinked, he didn't even WANT to even go there. Phantomon just stared in absolute horror at them; he was not in the mood to even touch on this subject. He wasn't the one to invite the person back there.

Myotismon rapped his fingers on the side of his thigh in obvious annoyance. How hard was it to even give an answer? If this kept up, the punishments would be severe. He was already planning their punishments for stalling as it was.

"The longer you stall, the severe the punishment, do I make myself perfectly clear?"

"Yes my lord," the three replied with a bow.

Phantomon sighed and sent a deadly glare at the other two, silently warning them that they will be suffering a worse fate than death if he got yelled at or the blame be placed on him. "Apparently sir, SkullMeramon had an encounter with him earlier. By no means did he trust him my lord. Somehow or another he had done something to control him. Kudamon also had an encounter with the same problem."

"I shall deal with this personally. Phantomon!"

"Yes sir?" Phantomon visibly cringed.

"Take the child here and place him in a cell out of the way, I will be dealing with him later."

"Yes sir," Phantomon bowed before going over to the still unconscious boy and picked him up as Myotismon moved down the hall.

"Kudamon, show me to him."

With a quick bow Kudamon led the way down the hall leaving a confused and questioning DemiDevimon and Phantomon. Shrugging his wings, DemiDevimon stared at the boy.

"I am not even going to ask."

"Well, you can at least help me, the child isn't exactly light."

DemiDevimon almost turned to him to tell him to go to DigiHell and that it was his idea, but the glaring eyes of Phantomon spoke volumes as he held his scythe not two inches from the bats face.

"Helping…helping."

Kudamon reached the medium size room where the older man was sitting and waiting relatively patient for the return of Myotismon. A few Digimon were standing by the door wanting to get a look at the man that could easily waltz into the lair.

"Don't any of you have something else you all could be doing right now?" Myotismon's voice boomed as an annoyance vein popped on the side of his head glaring at his army.

Turning their heads to the sound of their master's voice, stutters and other non-audible words escaped their mouths as they scattered from the area.

Kudamon rolled her eyes at the incompetence fools before them. Surely they know better than to piss off their master. Now was not the time to stand around and gawk at the mysterious man. They needed to be out searching for their retched tenth child. Although; it did cross her mind of the boy her master brought back. Was it possible that he was the tenth child after all? But why bring him back? Torture maybe? He did say before leaving that he would kill him. Perhaps he would torture him first before killing him. An involuntary shudder escaped her making her fur stand on end.

Myotismon saw the reaction she had so desperately tried to suppress and smirked. He knew any and all his feedings and killings of prey got to her. He enjoyed watching her squirm in discomfort and got a kick from it. Only once before did he threaten to feed off of her if she misbehaved. It only took that once for her to never cross him. Wizardmon on the other hand was a different story. He indeed possessed sweet blood, especially when fear overwhelmed him.

Opening the door, Kudamon kept her head low as she let her master move past her. There was no denying it, there sitting so pristine was an older man. Vlad finally looked up from the book he currently was reading. It wasn't English or Japanese for that matter, it was an ancient language from the Digital World. The book was leather bond with gold lettering on it. It was the book Myotismon himself was reading back in the Digital World.

An annoyed look filled his features, not only was someone near his belongings, but they were in the hands of a filthy wretched human. There was definitely going to be hell to pay. With or without the full explanation. Myotismon was definitely not in the greatest of moods as of right now. Storming inside the room, Myotismon glared at the man sizing him up. The man before him had blue skin, nowhere near matching his own, black hair in horn style with a black goatee and a white suit and cape with red on the inside.

Vlad smirked at the man…no Digimon, he reminded himself, before him. He could see the scowl forming on his face. Out of all the ghosts and humans he met, Myotismon was definitely the most unique. He wore a blue outfit with a gold bat clip in the front, obviously to keep the cape together. A red bat wing like mask donned his face.

"Who do you think you are coming in here?" the vampire Digimon growled.

"Is that anyway to greet your guests? I thought you would have a little more class," the vampire ghost commented, a cold smirk on his lips.

"You have two seconds to tell me who you are or my bats will have something to feast upon."

While Myotismon stood glaring at him coldly, Vlad, for the first time realized the red eyes along the ceiling and the high pitch screeches. There must have been hundred. No matter, this didn't bother Vlad; no blood suckers could hurt him.

"Well?" Myotismon said sharply.

"My, my, where are my manners. Standing here giving you a lecture of having no class and here I am being rude. I am Vlad Plasmius," the vampire ghost said with a slight bow.

Myotismon just eyed him a moment truly trying to figure out if the person in front of him was for real or not. Did he have a death wish or was he there to kill him? What the hell was his purpose? Oh how the thoughts just circled in his mind.

"What is your purpose here?"

"To strike a deal with you."

"Excuse me? Deal? Give me one good reason why I should I have a deal with you?"

"I can make it worth your while," Vlad simply said, a grin appeared on his face as he crossed his arms.

The vampire Digimon eyed the stranger with full disdain. Even at first meeting, Myotismon wasn't overly thrilled with him. There was also something in his voice, what could it be? And what could he possibly mean; he could make it worth his while?

"Such as what?" Myotismon asked not moving from his spot as he eyed the man before him.

Vlad grinned as he raised his hand, palm facing the ceiling in a very relaxed manner. "You're looking for someone, am I correct? That's why you have all those cre…Digimon scouring the city with that little trinket around their necks."

Myotismon kept a tight lip line as he kept staring at the man. So he did have an idea, but what was he getting at? "What about it?"

"What exactly is the purpose for the search? Is it someone you want to find to use for your own personal gain or are you searching for the person for your reasons?"

"To be forever persistent on asking these questions, I suppose there is no other way around it all. Although, I do pose one question out of all this. What is your purpose in knowing the truth?"

"If you reveal your secret, I'll reveal mine," Vlad replied with a grin.

Annoyance veins appeared on Myotismon's temple at hearing Vlad's secretive tone. After what seemed like an eternity, he closed the gap between the two of them, he wanted to be up close and personal. Besides, he thought. If there is any funny business, he could easily take him out.

Vlad saw the opportunity while Myotismon remained quiet to go intangible and overshadow him, hopefully to make the Digimon before him to easily agree with him on everything and reveal his secrets. The other two were so easy to manipulate, Vlad was positive that Myotismon would be the same. Just as he went to overshadow the vampire Digimon, Myotismon seemed to sense something to wrong and narrowed his eyes. He wasn't thrilled that the man before him disappeared without a trace.

"If you think I'm that easy to take over, you are sadly mistaken. Remove yourself from my body or I will rip you apart."

Vlad complied with no hesitation knowing that the Digimon was no kidding around when it came to something like that. What got to him was how exactly he knew that he was being overshadowed? Most of his victims were clueless to that even happening.

"If it means that much to you to know the truth, fine. Just remember, backstab me or my army and you will be dead before you knew what hit you," Myotismon warned. "And try that ever again you will never see the light of day ever again." Vlad nodded in agreement taking a seat once again on the chair while Myotismon stood before.

"I already assume you know what Digimon are so I don't really have to tell you that portion. As for what is going on here is simple. I am on a mission to become the ruler of both the Digital World as well as the human world. The one thing that stands between me and my goal are the Digidestineds. They have proven time and time again to be a thorn in my side. There has been word that a tenth Digidestined is in this world and I refuse to have my goal tarnished by a mere human child."

"If I may ask, do we have a name for this tenth child?"

"It is unclear of the identity of the human. That is why I have my henchmen out there scouring every area of the city."

"What about the Digidestineds themselves?" Vlad asked getting use to the terms being used.

"This maybe the area that you might be able to help. That is IF you are apart of this city. The names I seek are Yumi, Victoria, Tora, James, Kiva, Mark, Kisho, Yukito and Robert. Don't be fooled by the mere factor of their ages. They are not to be contended with."

"Ah yes, I have heard of the names of Yumi and Victoria. Victoria has a connection to me that can be used as an advantage."

"Family ties? Hmm. That won't be the first. Now that I revealed my secret. It is time to reveal yours."

"All is fair here. I am what you would call a halfa, half ghost, have human, but with the best powers of all the ghosts," Vlad said as a black ring formed around his torso and moved over his body revealing his human side. Vlad Masters now wearing a black tux, his grey hair pulled back into a low ponytail and a grey goatee. "I have strong connections with the ghost zone. That is another dimension to the Earth. Letting you know right now, the place has already been spoken for, although there have been upraises now and again. That is besides the point.

"My goal is much like yours, but instead of the Digital World, the ghost zone is my target. Now there is another purpose to all this that will in the future. I am searching for my daughter known as Danielle. She is also a half ghost; her powers have been growing over the years making her stronger in the process. She was taken from me by my ex-wife and sent here years ago.

"I believe that by working together our goals can be met. I am sure that there will be ghosts that would be willing to help, if I have anything to say about it. Believe me; you will not have any concerns over the ghosts."

"Now remind me again, why I should trust you? Who is to say that you will not betray me?"

"You just have to wait and find out. Now, do we have a deal?" Vlad asked extending his arm out waiting for Myotismon to accept. What neither one of them knew was that the other was just as stubborn and possessed a vital threat. In each others minds a cruel, wicked plan was formulation at a last ditch effort to betray the other.

Smirking, Myotismon took Vlad's hand into his and gave it a quick, firm shake. Their eyes locked on to one another for some time. Vlad now remained in his human form not wanting to keep any secrets or hide anything else.

"Kudamon, come here!" Myotismon called turning from Vlad.

The white fox hesitantly stepped foot into the room and bowed before Myotismon. She could barely maintain eye contact with him for too long. Vlad applauded this Digimon for maintaining a strong presence over his subjects.

"Yes my lord?"

"I have a job for you. I want you to find a place for Vlad. He will be assisting us on the search."

"I…yes my lord."

"After, I expect you, DemiDevimon and Phantomon to be out on the streets searching for a new location."

"Yes my lord." Her voice held timid and a sense of giving up. She didn't seem overly thrilled to be going through with any of these requests.

A/N: So after a few weeks of getting my brain to settle down, I give you chapter 50. Merely talking, but it's a little better than two chapters ago. Yes, I've taken Myotismon out of character but that seemed to be the only way for this to go through about revealing plans. I also had to re-look at some of the chapter outlines and have to change them around. I am hoping I can at least get a few chapters up before next week when I go to Anime North. I'll be gone for four days but I promise I'll have something up. Oh and if some of you remembering me telling you that I would be going as Wizardmon? Change of plans, things didn't go right.
