You'll always be mine, human…don't forget it.
Huh? What was this voice in my head? Beelzemon was walking ahead of me as we were searching around the last known appearance of the dragon. Everything was gone, like the whole forest never existed. A few trees remained standing, but it wasn't much to look at.
Don't deny my power...
"Who are you?" I demanded. The voice was really starting to get to me.
Beelzemon turned around to look at me. "What's the matter with you?"
"You didn't hear that?" I asked.
"I didn't hear anything… You know we've been looking around for a while now, maybe you need a break princess."
I hesitated at first but finally agreed. "Yeah, maybe you're right." I sat down under one of the remaining trees and sighed. It was too quiet around here; it's no wonder why I'd be hearing things. My new companion was standing against another tree seemingly anxious and alert.
"Shouldn't you relax for a bit, too?"
He looked at me and gave me a wry grin. "I'm alright. Just worry about yourself, o.k?"
"Fine, whatever… I'm gonna go find some water." I stood back up and brushed myself off. As I started to look for a source of water, my head started to hurt. I figured it hurt because of the fact that I haven't eaten much lately.
"There's gotta be something left around here… I find it hard to believe that this dragon devoured the entire forest, there's still a few trees standing. So, there probably is something to eat if I just keep…looking…"
My head was hurting more. So weak and pathetic you turned out to be. Such a shame, really…
"Whoever you are, just shut the hell up and leave me alone! Got it?" I was beginning to get frantic; someone was messing with my head. But I saw no one around. What's going on?
I'll tell you what's going on! You've grown weak, human. You're lost without me, let me help you, I can show you the way.
"What?! That voice…its familiar…" I searched the area with my eyes, still I saw nothing. "So why don't you show yourself, only cowards hide! It seems to me you're more bark than bite!"
How can I show myself when I am a part of you now?
By then my head felt like it was about to explode. I fell to my knees and fought hard to get rid of the tormenting voice.
"What's happening to me?"
My body felt like it was on fire, yet here I was trying my damnest to stop this.
Meanwhile, Beelzemon was starting to have problems of his own.
He continued to lean against the tree, finally closing his eyes to rest.
"You like her..." a voice came from overhead.
"What-!?" Beelzemon snapped awake at the voice and wildly looking around for the source. Finally his eyes found the white body of the horrible wolf that gave him too much trouble before. He was up in the very same tree that Midnyte was recently sitting under. How could Beelzemon miss him?? The wolf made no effort what so ever to attack.
"I said, you like her..." Iko repeated with a slight grin.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Beelzemon growled slightly lowering his head.
"Your not fooling anyone, so who is she? Your girlfriend?"
"Shut up!!" Beelzemon snapped, already Iko was getting on his last nerve.
"Touchy..."
"As for your information, that is Princess Midnyte, she helped destroyed a great evil once and she's going to help us again. If you're behind all this then..."
"Behind all this?! You've got to be kidding!! That monster you've seen not long ago, his name is Bau, and he is the legendary earth dragon of our world." Iko said getting serious.
"Your world? What the hell are you talking about??" Beelzemon said getting greatly annoyed.
"Three years ago, myself and a girl were sent here to be protected by this bastard named Auron, he was my former master, and I don't remember anything before I met him." Iko said angry to bring up such hated past.
"This guy named Lua Lua, he's got ancient magic in him, the crazy fool, he's like a genie, he grants the deepest desire in some people's hearts, but always with a twist, not only did he send us half way across the universe, he sent us to the digital version of this planet!! And we've been stuck here ever since, for 3 whole years."
"I'm surprised you didn't didn't leave the place in ruins like that monster did." Beelzemon sneered.
"I have reasons, I try to follow my friend's examples, but it's hard you know!!" Iko said finally bristling.
"So why is the dragon here??" Beelzemon asked.
"How the hell should I know?? He probably wants me just like Auron did, I don't know why they all want me, and he's probably searching for me as we speak."
"That thing is like a bazillion miles long, how come we can't see him?" Beelzemon yelled out.
"Haven't you been listening?? Bau is an earth dragon, we have many dragon lords on our planet, water, thunder, winter, but I don't know the specific reason why Bau is here, he probably just wants me, he must've made a deal with Lua Lua to send him here, he is one of the most powerful of the lords."
"Yeah right, so why are you hiding?" Beelzemon asked.
"My companion told me to stay out of the way of Bau; he's too strong for me to overtake..."
"Do you do everything that girl tells you?" Beelzemon asked mockingly.
"Shut up or I'll tear your throat out."
"Bring it on wolf." Iko had finally gotten up from his laying spot and lunged at Beelzemon fangs bared.
As he lunged at him, Beelzemon leaped over him, using his feet to slam Iko to the ground. Iko growled and stood back up quickly, lunging back for him. This time Beelzemon didn't see him. Suddenly he felt Iko's claws dig into his back.
"Unghhh…" he fell on his face, Iko was sitting on top of him.
"I can go on all day, you know…wanna continue?"
Beelzemon rolled over throwing Iko off of him. "Let's rock!" He stood back up, his own claws lunged for Iko. "Darkness Claw!" He bellowed, his attack threw Iko into a tree. Then he drew out both guns, and took aim at the wolf's head, but then Midnyte stepped in and interrupted the scene.
"And just what is going on here?"
By now, Iko was barely standing, feeling extreme pain. "Oh, I see…this is gonna be a two on one attack? So be it."
He bared his fangs once again, and leapt onto the princess.
"Get off of her!"
Iko sneered as he glared down onto the princess…she was using her arms to protect herself from him biting into her.
"I said, get the hell off of her NOW! Double Impact!" Both of his guns fired at the wolf, missing as Iko rolled off of her.
The princess got to her knees and hissed. "I can fight my own battles!" With that, she grabbed her dagger and stood back to her feet.
That's it…let the darkness help you. You fools have no idea what fate is about to bring you!
"Crimson Lightening!" A dark red energy bolt emerged from the dagger, striking Iko, knocking him unconscious.
"No! Please stop this! Iko isn't the one at fault! We're trying to help." A voice sounded from the distance.
Both Beelzemon and the princess turned to see where the voice came from. A younger girl emerged from the shadows and kneeled next to Iko, softly stroking the fur on his back.
"Oh, you again, huh? You really need to keep dog breath here on a leash or something."
The girl looked up and started to speak. "My name is Shaoii and I am really sorry for this. Iko doesn't trust anyone, he's just protective. Please, it's obvious that we are all on the same side. We need to stop Bau before it's too late. Can't you and Iko let your differences go for now and work together to stop him?"
"Hmph… he'd just better stay outta my way, or next time…well there will be no next time."
Midnyte's eyes started to glow red, and pure evil energy started to surround her. "All of you are so pathetic, it should be a crime!" She glared at Beelzemon. "Look at the likes of you, you think your so bad, so damn tough…and yet," She pointed to Iko. "This puppy seems to be kicking your ass all too easily."
Beelzemon gasped. "Princess? Wha…What's gotten into you? Snap out of it!"
She still had the dagger in her hand, walking towards him and taunting him. "Oh, Beelzemon, you should be ashamed of yourself…a bad digimon turned good? What has this world come to? Oh well…looks like I'll have to be the bad guy here and do what should've been done a long time ago…thanks to the dear princess Midnyte, I can finally accomplish my goal…and that is take what is rightfully mine!" She grabbed Beelzemon by the throat and lifted him off the ground. He started to choke and gasp for air as her fingers squeezed tightly. "And you do know what that is, hmm?"
He tried to reply, but could only do so in gasps. "You're…not…the princess!"
She laughed. "My, how very observant of you, biker boy…allow me to introduce myself. Lord Myotismon, creature of the night, and lord of darkness. This is my world and you are trespassing!" She tossed him aside like a ragdoll and went after Shaoii. "And humans…ESPECIALLY humans are not allowed her!" She grabbed Shaoii by the hair and thrust her head back, she took her dagger and placed it to Shaoii's throat. "And I am very hungry, how about a taste of your sweet blood?"
Iko had awakend and growled. "Noooo!" He jumped on the possessed princess so hard it knocked her out cold. Her dagger went flying into the air, but Beelzemon grabbed it. "Are you alright, Shaoii?"
"Y-Yes, I think so."
"How could this happen?" asked Beelzemon.
Iko mocked. "And you thought that I had a bad temper? Who is Myotismon?"
He went over to the unconscious princess and knelt down. "Another roach that needs to be squashed…that's all you need to know." He took the princess' bracelet off of her wrist.
"So now not only do we have Bau to contend with, we have this 'Myotismon' playing the part of the princess. There's got to be something we can do for her?" Shaoii asked.
"We? Shaoii, they can do whatever they want, they don't concern me…I just want a way out of here. Who cares what ol' fancy pants does?"
"Because, Iko…they want to destroy Bau as much as you do…together we can make it happen."
"Are you blind? Or perhaps you suffer from a short term memory? That girl just tried to kill you!"
"It wasn't her fault, she's being taken by an evil spirit. You cannot be mad at her…please Iko, just listen to me for once."
Iko glared at the fallen princess, Beelzemon was still at her side, listening to their conversation. Iko looked back to Shaoii. "Fine, just keep fancy pants outta my way."
"You know, you both are SO much alike."
"Don't go there." Iko remarked.
Now what do I do? The princess isn't even herself now. The left over data in her head was supposed to remain dormant according to Yamaki. But now look at this damn mess. He thought for a moment as he still held the bracelet. Suddenly Bau's huge form emerged from the ground. Tons of dirt folded everywhere around them all. Bau's roar deafend their ears as he floated there before them.
"Bau!" Iko yelled.
"Hello old friend."
"I'm not your friend!" Iko bellowed. He was actually feeling a bit intimidated as he was looking at the size of this big dragon. It was apparent he has grown since the last time they saw each other.
"We don't have time for this!" Beelzemon stood up, carrying Midnyte in his arms. He opend a portal using the bracelet and called to Iko and Shaoii. "Get in, NOW!"
"What? Where does it go?"
Beelzemon moved behind Iko and gave him a shove with his foot, causing Iko to fall into the portal. "Just trust me on this, wolf."
"You don't have to tell me twice!" Shaoii said and walked through.
Beelzemon started to walk through and Bau just laughed again. "You all are a piece of work…you can't stop me! If you try to come back, you'll be sorry!"
"Oh no, dragon…it's you who'll be sorry…we'll be back, alright…count on that!"
The portal closed behind Beelzemon. This could prove interesting, thought Bau
