Myotismon's heir Part 5
( Narrator's POV )
The scream Cass was letting out seemed to fade as Matt's lips caressed her neck. She'd been so sure that he was going to sink those fangs into her skin that she had panicked, but it appeared that Yamato had other plans. She was surprised when his mouth made it's way up her neck, over her cheek, and over to her lips. For just a moment, she struggled, but he was, after all, her boyfriend. His grip didn't seem so tight, or nearly as threatening to her now, even as he pulled away.
" Finally, you're awake. ", he commented, seeing her eyes open. His were now a blood red, and it sent a shiver down her spine. Tai had told her that when Myotismon had warped Matt's mind his eyes had turned red to show he was evil. It seemed the Digidestined were too late to stop the evil lord now.
He grinned down at her, and it exposed his fangs. Cass wanted now more than ever to be able to get up, but he had her pressed down firmly on the mattress. Her heart was beating loudly in her ears and she wanted to hide from the hunger in his red eyes that seemed to pierce through her. When she tried to struggle, he shook his head, his grin growing wider, and it almost seemed to mock her.
" You're staying right here, my dear. Can't have our first date end so abruptly, can we? ", Matt whispered as he leaned in to kiss her again.
The blonde girl jerked her head so she was out of his reach just in time to have him miss by centimeters. " First date? What are you talking about, Matt? Don't you recognize me? I'm your girlfriend don't you remember? "
" I'm sorry, my love, but I do not know you. I spotted you walking with those Digidestined brats after Myotismon told me I should pick a mate. I didn't want one of those chosen girls, pink is not a favorite of mine, I don't like cameras, and the red headed girl was walking arm and arm with the leader. ", the blonde vampire replied, his voice cool, and almost silky. " There was another female Digidestined, but she didn't suit me as well as you. One look at you and I had to have you. "
She was almost flattered. Out of all the girls that had come to the digital world he had had the instinct to choose her once more. But then again he was being controlled by new hormones that were in his system at the moment and making him do this stuff, right? She bit her lower lip, unable to shake the feeling of nervousness in the back of her mind, or Izzy's word of caution to everyone who hadn't been there four years ago. ~ The first time Matt was warped he couldn't distinguish which of his memories were dreams and which were realities. And he would take whatever he wanted, Myotismon made sure that he taught him that. ~
" Matt, what does Myotismon have planned for the Digidestined? ", she asked him softly, trying to get his eyes off of her and his true attention on something else. Izzy had warned the whole group that no matter what they said or did to get Matt to remember his true self once he had been warped would end in failure.
He shrugged releasing her wrists without thinking, and gave her a passive smile. " I don't know, and I don't really care. They're not my problem. "
Cass used his diverted attention and the fact he'd let her go to scramble out from under him, but then she accidentally rolled off the bed and onto her stomach. When she managed to get up into a sitting position, she saw that Matt had lain down on his stomach on the bed and was grinning at her. " That was cute, beautiful. "
" Yamato, why did you bring me in here? ", she whispered, terrified by the strange look in his eyes. It seemed to be paralyzing her, keeping her right in place as he moved towards her, his arms wrapping around her waist.
" Why do you think? ", he hissed sweetly, as he kissed her.

( Joe's POV )
" Cass? Where are you? ", Sora shouted down the tunnel. She then whirled to face Tai, our unofficial leader. " What could have happened to her, Tai? "
" Well, she wouldn't have walked off that's for sure. She was the one who seemed to want to find Matt the most, other than TK. ", Davis commented thoughtfully, still holding Yolei's hand. Their digimon stood nearby, and seemed to be watching the walls for any sort of movement at all.
" Maybe Cass didn't find Matt, but he found her, or maybe Myotismon did. How or why else would she have disappeared? ", I reasoned as we came to a stop in the long tunnel. " She wouldn't have gone off on her own, she knows better than that, so the only explanation that I can think of is that they have her. "
" Matt's so gonna kill us for losing her. ", TK muttered.
" But why would Myotismon want her anyway? She's not a Digidestined, and she doesn't have any weapons, so why would he take her? ", Yolei demanded.
" He could use her to get to Matt, or even to us. ", Veemon pointed out looking up a Davis to se if he was way off base. " She is one of our friends, and that gives her enough value to whatever Myotismon wants from any of us. "
" Exactly. ", Izzy nodded in agreement. He pulled out his labtop and began clicking away again. " Maybe I can get a signal from Matt's digivice. Cass still has it, doesn't she? If she's nearby we might be able to track her like we used to. "
I saw Cody looking over the tunnel's dirt wall with a look of curiosity I was only used to seeing on Izzy. He seemed focused on one part of our surroundings, and to be ignoring Armadillomon's questions as he moved towards it. He placed a small hand against it feeling every groove in the dirt. I walked up behind him for a moment, and then decided that I'd kept my silence long enough.
" Do you see something, Cody? ", I asked him quietly, hoping no one would hear us over Izzy and Yolei's debate about how the D-3's worked compared to the older Digivices. The younger boy turned to me as if he'd been caught doing something wrong; his green eyes wide, and almost startled.
" I just thought I saw something move on the wall. ", Cody told me, looking down at the ground as if it were fascinating. He always seemed kind of timid to give his opinion if you asked me, and I always found his point of view interesting so it never made sense to me. I put a hand on his shoulder.
" Let's have a look then. ", I remarked as I peered at the dirt wall running my hands over it. I found a strange, protruding shape on part of the wall, and did a double take on it, giving it a yank. There was a loud creak, and then the segment of wall in front of me pulled away, leaving my looking into a dark corridor leading to a staircase. " Hey, guys, over here, I think I found us a way into the castle! "
" But what about Cass? ", Mimi demanded.
" I hate to say it, but she's in the castle, Mimi. If we don't go in now there's no telling what could happen to her, or Matt. ", Izzy said from behind her, returning his labtop to his backpack moving to Tai's side. " I have a feeling that Myotismon has already gotten to Matt, and must need Cass to complete his plan. "
" Then let's get moving! ", the Guardian of Courage remarked.
Nodding in agreement, I led the way up the stairs after picking up the Gomamon at my feet. It was dark in the cramped space up the steps, and Yolei started complaining, but I was able to drown it out by concentrating on Cody. He seemed nervous, and I couldn't figure out why. He didn't know Matt very well, that I was pretty sure of, but I couldn't say so about his relationship with Cass. He could possibly have been worried about her, but maybe he was just scared of facing one of our past enemies. Anything could've been troubling him really.
As soon as we reached the top, I turned to the others. " Okay, now what? "
" Maybe we should split up. This place is pretty big. ", Patamon suggested from on top of TK's shoulder. " That way we'll find them faster. "
" Good idea. Tai, you and I will take Yolei, Mimi, and Kari with us and go up stairs, Joe, you take the rest of the group and search this floor. ", Sora implied gesturing to everyone. She then got nods of agreement and took her boyfriend's arm. " All right, then let's get moving. We'll use e-mail to keep in touch. "
" Sorry, my little Digidestined, but you're not going anywhere. ", a slick, mocking voice came from above us. We looked up to see the ultimate level sneering down upon us with his fangs gleaming a pearly white.
" Myotismon! ", Kari gasped in horror, her brown eyes wide.
" It's so good to see you alive and well, Digidestined. It means I will be the one forcing the last of your life from your bodies. ", Myotismon sneered as he floated a little closer, but was wise enough to keep plenty of space between him and the children. " By trying to keep the truth from the former Guardian of Friendship you have driven him back into my clutches. And thanks to that fool the Digimon Emperor, and your selfish actions, I will know have my heir and my empire! "
" Augumon, you and the others have to digievolve! ", Tai remarked, looking down upon his digital companion with panicked brown eyes.
" We can't, don't you remember the control sphere we saw on the way in here. ", the yellow-orange dinosaur replied sadly, avoiding his partner's gaze. The other rookie digimon were in the same state of worry, all but the five that could armor-digievolve. They stood ready by their partners. I was happy for that.
" Come on, guys! ", TK exclaimed. He and the other Digidestined with D-3s held up their devices and cried together, " Digi-armor energize! "
Veemon armor-digievolves to… Flamedramon!
Hawkmon armor-digievolves to… Halsemon!
Armadillomon armor-digievolves to… Digmon!
Patamon armor-digievolves to… Pegasusmon!
Gatomon armor-digievolves to… Nefertimon!

( Cass's POV )
He kissed me so hungrily, pulling em so close. It was like him, but at the same time, it wasn't. The thought that he wasn't human anymore creeped into my mind, and I didn't want to dwell on it, just like I didn't want him all over me. I tried to push him away, but that just made him come closer, running his hands up and down my back, through my hair, over my cheeks. I loved Matt, and any other time I would've wanted him to be so affectionate, but I knew this couldn't wasn't him. Finally, he pulled away for air, grinning at me with those fangs.
" Matt, please, this isn't you… ", I started, but he put a finger to my lips, the look on his face sweet as he shook his head. I was compelled to stop by his eyes.
" You're mine now, my love, and I don't want to talk. ", he cooed as he began to kiss my neck, letting his tongue slide along with his mouth, making me shiver. I was melting by he sweet actions, and knew I shouldn't but he seemed to know how to seduce me. I kissed him, suddenly desperate to feel his lips against mine once again. I felt him smile as he wrapped me closer in his embrace, although it wasn't probably possible. When he pulled away again, he grinned down at me, and pulled me into what was like a hug. " Now that's why I chose you, beautiful. "
Tears were stinging my eyes, and I knew that this was wrong. I should be helping him, but no matter what form he was in, I still loved him. He would do the same for me, right? " God, Yamato, this isn't right but I just want to hold you. "
" Who's to say that this is wrong? ", the blonde young man implied, looking down at me with confusion in his now red eyes. He cupped my chin with his hands and I think my heart skipped a beat in time. " If I want you, and you want me, then how could it be wrong? Does someone else claim your heart? "
" No, it's just that, you don't even remember me. You have no idea who you are because of Myotismon and I can't take advantage of that, Yamato. ", I retorted in a quiet voice. I don't think he really wanted to listen to anything else I had to say, because he pulled me into a lip lock once more. Shivers ran a marathon down my spine, and my arms snaked to around his slender waist to hold him close. " You may be charming and seductive right now, but you can't even remember my name! "
" But I know this, my love is forever yours, for when I first saw you, you took my breath away, " Yamato rasped as he pulled me towards the bed and sat me across his lap. He then stroked my cheek, his eyes never leaving mine. " But then when I was able to gaze into your eyes, you stole my heart as well. "
" You always were a romantic. ", I sighed, letting him wrap me in his arms. I then had an idea; something I knew had to help. " Matt, if I can prove Myotismon is evil, and is using you, will you believe me that you're not yourself. "
" If I'm not who I used to be, than who was I? ", he questioned a little strangely. He pulled me a little closer and I realized that I missed his blue eyes, the red ones were giving me the creeps. I had no idea how I was going to prove anything, but I had to try. I had to choose my words carefully to reply, I mean, how do you describe someone's life to someone who can't remember it at all?
" A Digidestined, Matt. You used to be the bearer of Friendship, and you had a digimon named Gabumon, and a brother named TK, and- "
He cut me off by kissing me once more. As he pulled away he grinned and let the back of his hand brush against my cheek. " If it will make you happy, my love, I promise, and have even sealed it with a kiss to prove my honesty. "
A scream suddenly came from beyond the entrance of the room, and it made me jump out of his lap. I would have hurried out the door, but he grabbed my wrist, stopping me cold with a look on his face that was begging me not to leave. It was like he thought that if I walked out that door I would never come back. " Wait, don't go. Please, I don't know why but I don't think I can watch you walk out that door. There's something inside of me that's afraid that if you go now- "
" Come with me. " I don't know where it came from, but for some reason I said it. He seemed to think about it, and the way he was acting now, I was beginning to think that maybe the real Matt was trying to crack through. " They're your friends too, Yamato. You even have a brother that's probably down there! "
" I can't promise anything. I am Myotismon's heir, my love; my loyalty is supposedly in him. ", he retorted slowly, his eyes looking away. He then stood, his red eyes meeting mine. " But my heart has fallen victim to you. "
" You won't regret this, Matt. " I whispered as we ran out the door. I could hear the battle raging downstairs, and it didn't look good. The armor digimon were trying their hardest to face Myotismon, but he seemed too much for the five of them. Tai saw us first, his eyes growing wide in surprise and happiness.
" Matt, Cass, you're okay! ", he exclaimed grinning as we made it to their side. The vampire hovering above us threw Pegasusmon to the ground and glared angrily down at Matt, his eyes like blue daggers.
" What are you doing? Has that human girl made you weak, boy? Get up here and fight by my side! ", he screamed at him, hitting Halsemon with his Crimson Lightning. When he didn't respond, or move, he shouted, " NOW! "
Yamato looked up at him, and then at me. I knew he was wracking his brains, trying to decide. I gave his hand a squeeze, trying to tell him how much I loved him without words, gazing into his eyes. He bit his lower lip, exposing his fangs, and making the others gaps. Myotismon was furious when it looked like the former bearer of Friendship had sided with us instead of him.
" Fine, if even now you defy me I'll teach you the reason I am your master, Yamato. ", Myotismon snapped narrowing his eyes. " Grisly wing! "
The spray of black bats came straight at me, and all I could do was scream.
