AlterCrest: The Crest of Hope
Chapter II: "A Dark Mind"
Jolly Trolly, 4/11/01
Inside the Trapped Mind of Patamon:
"Dev-Devimon? Huh? No, NO! TK! Help me! TK!" Patamon continued to float through the endless, black void inside of him through the black spiral's dark powers. The black, bat-like figure of Devimon stood before him, laughing to himself as he stared at his biggest foe.
"Ah, my dear little Patamon. What a long time it's been!" Devimon said, chuckling to himself. "Heh heh, well, it seems that you and I haven't been as distant as you may have cared for." He smiled a mysterious grin.
"What are you talking about, Devimon?!" Patamon demanded, with anger and hatred in his voice.
Devimon continued to grin, "Oh, you mean you never felt it? The dark energy flowing through yourself?"
"No..."
"Ah, so it seems that the good inside you is stronger than I thought. But let me back up a bit. Do you remember that very first time that you digivolved? Into that cursed angel? Do you?"
"Yes..."
"Of course you do. Do you remember what you did the first time you digivolved?"
"I-I destroyed YOU! And I'd do it again! And I WILL do it again! Now tell me what's going on!" Patamon made a quick attempt to struggle his way into an attack position in the vacuum that was his mind. He had no success.
Devimon ignored Patamon's useless attempt, and continued with his story. "Well, what happened after you destroyed me?"
Patamon slumped down, resting his head onto his front paws. "I-I dedigivolved back to a digiegg."
"Do you remember what happened inside the digiegg?" Devimon smiled.
"No, I don't. I was too small to remember." Patamon was starting to get frightened.
"I'll tell you. You and I were apparently both destroyed in the first battle. All of your digidestined friends believed that I was gone, while you - the hero - had sadly been reverted down to digiegg size. But actually, it wasn't just you dedigivolving, but instead it was a technique I took a gamble on creating called DNA DeDigivolving, in that, both you and I fused what little efforts we had left into one digiegg. It was the only way for either of us to survive. Inside that digiegg, our battle continued as a fight between my darkness and your light. That time, the good in you defeated my pure darkness, and when we were born, we became a Poyomon instead of a Botamon, which would be my baby form. I attempted to control you, but with no luck thanks to the rotten kids. My best shot was to kill you, which would release me from the vaccine body I was in. I tried to make you jump off of that rotten raft, but the damn TK saved us. After that, I decided a new strategy would be to slowly steal your energy, building up my own strength until I could finally overtake you're mind. Since then, I sat in a dark corner, unnoticed in your mind, building up my energy, and observing everything through your eyes. I saw you fight Myotismon, VenomMyotismon, even Piedmon and Apocalymon. I saw you armor digivolve to Pegasusmon, and fight against the Digimon Emperor's forces. Now, my time has come to overtake you and make my glorious return. I'm stronger than ever, you shall soon see."
Patamon winced, "It can't be true! No! This is just a bad dream! That's all!"
"Wakey-wakey hamster-boy, it's time to face the truth," Devimon snickered.
Patamon stared right back at Devimon, thinking for a minute or two, "Oh yeah! Well your plan failed Devimon! My body is under the control of the Digimon Emperor, not you! Neither of us is in control!"
"I've thought this through more than you may have thought. I'm not going to attempt to fight the Digimon Emperor. He has powers backing him up that even I refuse to meddle with. Instead, I'll wait for your fool DigiDestined to free you from the Dark Spiral. Then, I'll be in control, and you will be nothing! Hahaha!" Devimon laughed his same, old, evil laugh.
Patamon said nothing, but instead just laid his head back into his paws and let tears drip from his eyes. He comforted himself, "TK can save me, TK can make this all better, TK can - no hope. TK said no hope. What's comes after no hope?"
