Evening......
A young 13-year-old girl sat on top of a cliff that rose
above Natsumi Village. The girl was quite beautiful with long flowing pink
hair. She liked coming to this ledge to watch the sunset, for it looked
magnificent from its point-of-view. Soon, another girl her age came running up
to her, calling her name.
"Biyomon! Hey, Biyomon!" the girl called out.
"Oh, hello, Palmon. What is it?"" asked
Biyomon.
"I've been looking all over for you. What're you
doing up here?" asked Palmon.
"Oh. Just watching the sunset. Isn't it
beautiful?"
"Sure is," she agreed as she gazed up at its
brilliant light.
"Hey, are the hunters back yet?" asked Biyomon
suddenly.
"They've been back. You must've been out here for a
while if you didn't know that." said Palmon.
"Really? Great, I have to see Agumon about
something." said Biyomon. Then she leaped off the cliff.
"Hey, Biyomon!" cried Palmon. Biyomon soared across the sky ever so gracefully with her hair flowing in the wind and the breeze blowing in her face. Palmon sighed.
"Show off. I've got to take the long way." She
walked into the forest to find the path that led to Natsumi. What she didn't
know was that a figure had been hiding in the trees, watching her. That figure
was Devimon. He looked upon her and smiled a cold, dark smile.
He jumped down from the tree, startling Palmon.
"What the--?" cried Palmon as she turned around
and faced the demonic man.
"Greetings, young one." he said in an evil tone.
"You're Devimon! What're you still doing here? I
thought you were banned from here."
"I may have been banned from the village, but not the
forest. And you, young lady, will be my first step to revenge." said Devimon with an evil grin. He raised his hand and shot a purple beam at
her and knocked her down. She got back up to defended herself.
"Poison Ivy!" she cried. Her fingernails
stretched out into vine-like whips, wrapping themselves around Devimon. He
instantly broke free. He laughed.
"Is that the best you can do?" he started
rapidly firing beams at her. Palmon tried blocking them, but failed.
"What do you want with me?" she asked weakly, barely able to stand up.. Devimon lifted her up and said, "That's none of your concern. But not to worry. You'll find out once we get there. Now, come with me." Devimon said, followed by demonic laughter.

"Huh?" wondered Gabumon.
"What's wrong, Gabumon?" asked Agumon.
"I sense trouble. Someone, somewhere is in trouble." he said. All of a sudden he darted off from the bench and took off into the crowd.
"Whoa! Wait up!" cried Agumon as he followed him.
"Agumon! This--oof!" Gabumon had knocked into
someone and fell back.
"Watch where you're going!" the boy shouted,
angrily, at Gabumon. Gabumon got a good look at the boy he bumped into. The boy
wore a strange mask that covered the top half of his face. It had two lace-like
ribbons sticking out on the top.
"I'm sorry, mister, but----oh, it's you Demidevimon.
If I had known it was you I wouldn't have been so sorry." said Gabumon.
Demidevimon growled at the insult. Agumon rushed over to Gabumon's aid.
"Are you okay?" he asked Gabumon. Then he turned
to Demidevimon and said, "What did you do to him?"
"Nothing! He just bumped into me, quite stupidly I
might add. Now if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to." said
Demidevimon, calmly.
"Where are you going?" asked Agumon.
"None of your business!" said Demidevimon, more
harsh than he intended. He walked away as Agumon shouted, "You're such a
jerk, DemiDevimon!" Agumon helped Gabumon up.
"I wonder why he hates me so much," wondered Agumon.
"Don't know. He's been acting different ever since
his father died. Oh well, let's just go somewhere away from him," said Gabumon.
"But what about that trouble you sensed?"
"I'll ignore it. It was probably a false alarm since my foot fell asleep…"

Gatomon had finally gotten out of the river and dried herself by wringing out her clothes. She climbed up the cliff and went back into the meadow. She followed a path different from Patamon's and Gomamon's to Natsumi.
"That brat Patamon really knows how to grind one's
nerves." she said to herself. She walked into the forest, thinking of how
she was going to steal the digiemeralds from Patamon until she heard a noise. She
peered across the bushes and saw Devimon gripping Palmon. Palmon tried to break
free from his grip while he continued to laugh at her misfortune.
"That girl looks like she's in trouble. A warrior
never ignores a helpless victim. What can I do?"
"Quit trying to escape and cooperate!" Devimon
ordered Palmon.
"Let me go!" cried Palmon.
"Lightning Claw!"
Suddenly, Devimon released Palmon and reached for his
back. Gatomon had just executed one of her special attacks behind him.
"Huh? What's going on?" Palmon cried.
"Quick! Get out of here!" Gatomon cried. Devimon
turned toward Gatomon.
"You! Who are you?" Devimon asked angrily.
"I am Gatomon. Status: Champion." Gatomon said calmly.
"Kind of young to be a Champion." Devimon
observed. Gatomon executed a swift kick to Devimon's face.. Devimon reared back
in pain.
"You shouldn't let your guard down." said
Gatomon. Devimon was enraged. He was not going to let himself get outsmarted by
this girl. Devimon and Gatomon started battling each other. Palmon just stood
there shocked at the scene.
"You! Get out of here! Now!" Gatomon shouted.
"What about you?"
"I'll be fine, now go!" Gatomon said, but then
Devimon fired a purple blast at her knocking her down. Devimon laughed.
"You fight well, young one, but you won't stop me
from my attack on Natsumi and world conquest." he said. Gatomon wouldn't
stay down. She continued fighting, but Devimon was starting to gain the upper
hand. Palmon decided this was the time to run. She quickly bolted away from the
fight to find help.
Devimon shot a big purple beam at Gatomon, which knocked her
into a boulder that was sitting there on the forest floor. Gatomon was knocked
out. Devimon walked up to her and picked her up in his arms.
"This young girl is magnificent. A real worthy
fighter indeed. She may prove useful to me." he said. He threw her over his shoulder, spread his
wings and flew away.
And that concludes
