Disclaimer: I still don't own digimon... yet. But I have plans... *cackles evilly* Did I just say that? *ahem* er... I don't own digimon and there's no way I'm planning domination over the Japanese anime world and taking over digimon. *smiles meekly* ^_^' N-e ways, onto the fic. Oh ya, don't sue me.
The Power of Three
Part 10: Impmon's story
Everything in the minds of the tamers and their digimon froze. As if time had stopped, they were helpless as the blue grid appeared in the torn at the sky. Images that appeared like it was from a bad reception began to fade into real figures. Many different ones. All dropping from the gate.
"NO!" Rika shouted. "The digimon are getting through the barrier! Renamon, do something!" But Renamon just shook her head.
"It is too late." She said sadly. "There's no way we can get them all of them back. The gate has reopened itself."
"What!? We can't just give up!" Takato said, still staring at the gate. The image of the blue grid was shifting. This digital-like screen faded and a new one appeared. The new area was gray, dull and eerie. Takato squinted further into the sky.
"That image... it's ... the dark ocean." He muttered.
"It's real." Rika mumbled, mystified.
"It's home."
Takato and the others turned to see Impmon staring up at the sky as well.
"Home...?" Renamon repeated.
Impmon nodded, but not taking his eyes off the image.
(AN: This is made up by me. I have no clue what the real story behind Impmon and his tamers is.)
*flashback*
"I said I wanted RESULTS, Impmon, and you can't give them to me." Daemon shouted at the little digimon that huddled on the ground
"Please, sir, give me another try..." Squeaked the tiny virus, Impmon.
"I have given you many tries! I won't allow a digimon that can not follow orders!"
"B-b-but I've been trying..."
"I don't want just tries! I want things done! Did I not send you to find me a source of power to regenerate my loyal companion?"
"Yes, sir..."
"And yet, you've given me NOTHING!!! One LAST try. I don't want you back here until you find me something sufficient."
"Thank you, your evilness... you are merciful..."
"GO!"
The little digimon disappeared out the door. Wandering through the thick jungles of the digital world, it began to rain. Impmon kept on looking, not caring for the heavy waters that dripped down and cascaded down his face. Soon, out of exhaustion, he collapsed, sinking slightly in the moist dirt that soiled his face.
He wasn't sure how long he laid there, but the rain did finally stop. The clouds haven't gone away and the sky was still dim.
"Hey, sis, come over here!" Impmon heard a voice cry out. He felt hands pick him up and lift him off the dirt.
"Oh, you poor little thing! How did you ever get here?" A young girl said. Another boy, obviously her brother, brushed off the slightly dry dirt off his face.
These two are humans! Impmon thought. From the real world!
"Who are you two?" He muttered.
"My name is Crystal." The young girl said, smiling. "And this is my brother, Oliver. Who are you?"
"Impmon."
"Impmon? You look terrible." Said Oliver.
"Oliver!" Crystal shouted.
"No, I mean he looks ill." The boy said, smirking. "It was raining here not long ago. You shouldn't be caught out in the rain like this."
"It doesn't matter. I don't have anywhere else to go." Said Impmon.
Crystal pulled out a handkerchief and dried him with it.
"Our mom use to talk about rain." She said gently. "She says when people are experiencing tough times, rain falls down. It's nature's tears."
"Then," Oliver continued. "Mom would tell us that whenever it stops raining, it means something's going to happen to help those people feel better."
Impmon looked at the two. When the rain stopped, these two came along. Maybe... just maybe...
"Please take me away from here." He sobbed. "I don't wanna stay here. Please, I beg you... take me to the real world."
Crystal and Oliver looked at each other. "We're not even so sure how we got here." Oliver asked. "We each got this thing---(he pulls out a powder blue d-power)--- and then we ended up here just yesterday."
"Use the d-power! Give it another try!" Impmon cried, desperate to leave the grip of his master.
"Is this what this is called?" Crystal asked, shaking her light violet colored d-power. "We didn't know what to do with it when we..."
Crystal was suddenly cut off when both their d-powers burst with light that shot into the sky. A stream of colors lifted the two siblings off the ground.
"Wait! Take me with you!" Impmon cried, holding out his hands.
"We wouldn't forget you!" Oliver said, smiling.
"Now come on, before we drift any further!" Crystal said. The each extended a hand and grasped Impmon's hands. The three flew into the air and out of the digital world.
Impmon was thrilled by the new experiences on earth. No more slaving around for Daemon. No more tiring trips in the digital world. He had something to be glad about.
*end flashback*
"So what eventually happened to your tamers...?" Takato asked.
"They drifted apart." Impmon said, now looking at the ground. "Every single day. They weren't the same anymore... and eventually, they fought over who was going to be the only tamer for me. The two were drowning in their own misery and pulling me down with it... so I left."
Guilmon growled loudly, his pupils shrinking down to slits.
"Hey... Guilmon!" Terriermon said to the dinosaur digimon. "What's wrong?"
"He's coming." He scowled. "No... THEY'RE coming. Two of them."
Searching the skies, they saw two figures heading down from the gate. Rika pulled out her d-power and pointed in their direction. An image popped up.
"Daemon, Mega level. No other data available!?" Rika shook the device violently. "Stupid piece of junk! There's nothing on the other one either!"
"No doubt who that would have to be." Terriermon said.
"It's Venomhydramon." Renamon said.
"Then... it has to be..." Rika muttered.
"Henry." Takato finished.
The two cloaked figures landed not 10 feet away of them. Daemon scanned the group, then smirked when his eyes laid on Impmon. "Well hello, Impmon. Old servant, and new enemy." Said Daemon. "How has your life been as a traitor to digimon?"
"Better a traitor than a slave to you, Daemon." Impmon mumbled.
"Ah, very bold words for such a foul insect." Daemon said. "But no matter. We have found sufficient energy and a host. I do believe you know each other quite well..."
Venomhydramon pulled off his hood. Just as the tamers and the digimon had feared, it was Henry.
And yet... he looked very different than Henry.
There was a scar from earlier, when Venomon had grabbed Henry out of the real world. He no longer wore a caring face, but a cruel smile, and the gray eyes that normally showed his level-headedness, now remained like stone, cold and blank. The Mega digimon spoke. "Well hello. Do I look familiar?"
"Let Henry go." Terriermon scowled. The digimon just shook his head.
"I can't do that. Now that he has accepted my offer, he and I are one... and will continue to be until the very end of our lives." Venomhydramon's lips curled to an even crueler smile. "Let's waste no more time talking... I do believe we have a world to fight for. Who would like to be my first victims?"
"I, too, will battle." Daemon said. "Let's see what the real world's defenses are compared to us."
"Much better than you'd expect." Renamon said calmly, preparing for battle.
"If it's for the sake of Takato," Guilmon said, growling. "And all my friends, I'll fight you until the very end!"
"So be it." Daemon said icily. "Let the battle begin."
