Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. I do not own the characters of this story, save the fourteen that I created. Any similarities between the characters that I created and future ones in the show are purely coincidence. This is a fanfic.

Author's Note: Now, the real story starts. The plot line should be straightening itself out now....I hope. (It helps if you read New Allies... first; two of these characters won't be getting my Digidex treatment.)

Part I: An Approaching Darkness...

It was a peaceful day in the Digiworld. Peaceful, that is, until a blazing dark portal opened out of nowhere. Through the portal came a dark creature, wrapped in a black cloak. All life near him fled, but he ignored them.

At last, freedom!

Digidex Entry

Know me as Ragnoramon. I am the merged form of Diaboromon and Apocalymon, the two most powerful villains in the digital realm. I kept my old attacks, and gained a few new tricks, too.

(Ragnoramon, as mentioned earlier, looks like Diaboromon, but has some black polygonal armor reminiscent of Apocalymon. The front of that armor is pitch black, and seems like a void.)

End Digidex Entry

Minions: come. With these words came three cloaked figures from nowhere, simply coming into being near Ragnoramon. He gestured to two of them, and they leapt to the skies, seemingly to intercept any worthwhile foes...

Meanwhile, in the real world, Davis was sleeping in after the battle with Arukenimon and Mummymon. DemiVeemon was awake, pacing as he pondered ways to stop his counterpart's snoring.

Phew, Davish's socks are stinky! Ech! Hey, what about his cell phone? It's not like it's doing anything important...Wha? He stopped talking as the phone began to ring. How does this work again? Um... He pushed a button on the device, and the ringing ceased.

Yeah? Oh, hi! What? I'll tell him right now. Bye!. DemiVeemon turned off the cell phone, then turned to Davis. Davish? Hello? Why won't you wake up? Oh well, I guess I can't tell you that Kari called about...

What? Kari called? What is it? Speak up you crazy blue Digimon! At the sound of the word Kari', Davis was up and shaking DemiVeemon.

Umm...something about e-mail from Gennai, we're supposed to meet the rest at Izzy's house...Hey, come back! Do you want them to see your pajamas?
———————————————————————————————————————
Despite insanity on Davis' part, the group was soon assembled, and clamoring for Izzy to play the message.

All right, already! Just a moment, it needs to load up...Hey! Davis, I tell Tai all the time, hitting the computer does not make it faster...Here we go!

Good morning! Sorry to bother you so early, but this is urgent! A new, evil Digimon has appeared, and is getting stronger by the minute. We don't know who it is, but the portal it came through reminded me of a prophecy I found:

When darkness the skies does fill;
A great monster's time has come.
There is no victory until
The power of unity triumphs.'

I personally don't get it, but you might. Good luck!

All right! Let's go stop that thing. Izzy, get the digi-port ready, and let's roll! Yolei pointed her D-3 at the computer, and a familiar light filled the room.

As the humans entered the digital world, two figures were watching the dark foe.

Hey, do you think we should help the digidestined in this battle? After all, all those writings...

...say that we shall not be the ones to gain victory here. As his companion pouted, the metallic figure continued. However, we can take out the beast's generals, or attack him ourselves. We just won't deal the final blow.

Sounds fair to me! Let's head off those two generals, and blow them away! With that, the intrepid duo of Robomon and Reptomon started moving to cross the path of the digidestined.
