Prologue: (Ryo's POV) We were walking through the forest to Infinity Mountain, looking for a new way home. Suddenly, Crimsonmon, a Digimon that was stronger than all of the Ultimates combines, attacked us. We tried to fight back but it was no use. My Digimon, Prairiemon, digivolved into his Champion form of Warumon. Then he became MetalAngemon and destroyed Crimsonmon. DarkAngewomon came to warn us about her dark master. But he was torturing her mind. She flew off to who knows where to calm down. I feel sorry for her. She's not evil but the force controlling her is. I just hope that we don't meet up with it anytime soon.



Chapter 1

Atop Infinity Mountain, MagnaDevimon was watching the DigiDestined as they approached his fortress. He smiled to himself.

"Yes. All is going according to plan. Soon, they shall arrive and then they shall be destroyed." He turned his attention to a huge television screen, which was glowing with energy. It was attached to several cables and consoles connected to all sides. It was a crude DigiPort. "Once the portal is fully charged, I shall go to Earth and proceed with my revenge." MagnaDevimon thought about the time when he was Devimon. He was about to finally be rid of the DigiDestined when the little Patamon, belonging to Takeru, digivolved into his polar opposite, Angemon. Angemon expended his energy to destroy him. Still, Devimon's consciousness survived somehow.

"If it were not for that insolent whelp," MagnaDevimon said to himself, "I would be fully in control. Instead, I had to construct a new form for myself from spare digital matter." He had used dark magic to rebuild his old lair and to enslave various Digimon to do his bidding. One of them was DarkAngewomon. Yet, she maintained her sense of right and wrong. She started to rebel against him and recently warned the children about him. As he thought about this, he grew angrier. "She shall pay for her insolence as well. Oh yes indeed."

Meanwhile, DarkAngewomon was also thinking about the day of her creation as she sat on a nearby hillside. She was originally born as Ringmon, a brown version of Gatomon that was a Rookie Digimon instead of a Champion. She was, like Gatomon, waiting for someone to show up. Yet, she was discovered not by the person she was meant for, but by evil. MagnaDevimon got to her first. She was forced to be his slave, to do horrible things to Digimon. The, when she matured into Cleomon, Nefertimon with brown fur, she was forced to battle different Digimon and make them MagnaDevimon's slaves. She later matured into DarkAngewomon and MagnaDevimon took a morbid interest in her. She was forced into... very unpleasant things with MagnaDevimon. If she didn't do them, or allowed him to twist her mind, she would be "punished". She removed her helmet and also one of her gloves. On her hand and face were various scars from previous "punishments" that she had. Still, for some reason, she thought about MetalAngemon. He had promised to protect her, despite the things that she had done to them and other Digimon.

"Why was he so persistent to protect me? I'm pure evil, a creature of darkness. I'm not even supposed to be involved with the children at all. Still, I had to warn them about what they were facing. I thought that it was only fair."

Meanwhile, the children had finally reached Infinity Mountain. It was a lot more dismal than when their parents were there twenty-nine years earlier. The sky was dark and etched with various nebulae in the background.

"Mia," Peter said, "is this it?"

"Yes." Mia answered while checking her laptop. "It's Infinity Mountain. The DigiPort is inside."

"Well, we should come up with a battle plan in case something goes wrong." Matthew said.

"I agree." Peter said. He then turned to everyone else. "Guys, we're going home today!" As the children cheered, suddenly the ground started to shake violently. The children held on to each other for support. An opening appeared at the top of the mountain, revealing what looked like a very complicated system of circuitry. A figure rose from the circuitry cloaked in pure darkness. His voice was ominous and dark as he spoke to the children.

"Welcome, DigiDestined. I have been waiting an eternity for this encounter. Yes."



Chapter 2

"I think that this is the enemy that DarkAngewomon warned us about." Serena said.

"Okay guys, here's the plan." Peter said. "There's a good chance that we won't be able to fight this guy alone. Ryo, I need you to find DarkAngewomon and get her here. She knows how to deal with this clown."

"I'm on it." Ryo said as Prairiemon digivolved into Warumon and then into MetalAngemon. He hopped onto his back and took off.

"Peter, how do you know that we can trust her?" Sakura said.

"It's like I said, I have a feeling. She's not evil, just confused." Peter replied to his friend.

"I'll have to agree." Mia said. "Why else would she warn us?"

"All right." Peter said as he finally turned his attention to MagnaDevimon. "Who are you and what do you want with us?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is MagnaDevimon. You can consider me an old foe of your parents."

"What are you talking about?" Matthew said.

"Twenty-nine years ago, when I was my Champion form of Devimon, I had planned to take over the Digital World with my Black Gears. Then your parents, the first DigiDestined, interfered and tried to stop me. They almost lost until a certain Patamon became my polar opposite, Angemon. He stopped me at the expense of his own energy. I was destroyed but my consciousness still survived. I managed to create a new body for myself and set upon a new plan of action. Instead of taking over the Digital World, why not the REAL world?"

"So that explains the DigiPort." Mia said. "You built it to send yourself to Earth and take over."

"Brilliant as always, yes. However, since you now know about my plans, you cannot be allowed to continue. Also, there's no way that you can thwart my goals this time."

"We'll see about that!" Serena said. Suddenly, her digivice activated.

"Nubiomon, digivolve to... Ravemon!"

Digimon Analyzer: Ravemon is a Champion Digimon that soars along the skies at Mach 3. She uses her "Beak Blaster" attacks to shoot her opponents out of the sky! (She looks like a giant raven.)

"All right, everyone." Peter said as the others lifted up their digivices. "Let's do this!"


Chapter 3

Meanwhile, Ryo and MetalAngemon were searching the skies, trying to find DarkAngewomon. Though MetalAngemon didn't show it, he was gravely worried about her. Suddenly, Ryo's digivice went off.

"I think that we found her." Ryo said.

"Good." MetalAngemon said as he set down on a nearby hill. He looked over and saw her on another hill, her free-flowing hair dancing in the winds. She was looking to the horizon, thinking again about her fate. "Ryo, I need you to stay here while I talk to her."

"Why?" Ryo asked with a confused look on his face.

"If she sees you she'll become suspicious." MetalAngemon said. Ryo looked at him and saw that he was sincere.

"All right. But hurry." Ryo said as his Digimon flew of to the mountain. He landed beside DarkAngewomon, who was a little startled by his appearance.

"What are you doing here, MetalAngemon?" DarkAngewomon said.

"I've come to talk to you." MetalAngemon replied.

"Why? I already told you that you all should stay away from me, for your own safety."

"Actually, your safety is in jeopardy. MagnaDevimon has already engaged the others. We have to go to fight him." At that, a terrified look came across DarkAngewomon's face.

"I can't." she whispered softly.

"Why not? What has he done that makes you so terrified of him?" MetalAngemon put a hand on her shoulder, which felt warm to the touch. She turned away from him with shame in her dark blue eyes. "DarkAngewomon, look at me. No one will hurt you, not as long as I'm here."

She looked at him and saw flashes of courage and love in his gentle face. He was sincere in his promise. "All right, but you won't like what I have to say." They both sit down on a nearby cliff as MetalAngemon removes his helmet, revealing his chestnut brown eyes and short brown hair. DarkAngewomon begins to tell her story: "I wasn't always a creation of evil. When I was Ringmon I started searching for someone. I can't remember whom but I knew that I was meant for someone, a DigiDestined I think. The, one day, I came across someone that wasn't the person that I was searching for. I came across MagnaDevimon. He took me to his lair and began to make me into his slave. He forced me to do cruel things to other innocent Digimon. Then, when I became Cleomon it got worse. He started brainwashing me, making me believe that I was as evil and dark as he was. I forgot that I was searching for someone. Then, when I matured into DarkAngewomon, he... took an interest in me."

"What did he do?" MetalAngemon said with rage starting to build in his voice.

"He did horrible things to me. He... violated me, (I won't say rape because it could mean several other things.) brainwashing me to make me enjoy it. Eventually, I started to rebel, trying to break away from his control. But every time that I did, he would take my mind and twist it to his own. I actually started to believe that I WAS a creature of evil. Maybe I still am."

"No." MetalAngemon said as he held her soft hands, "you aren't. If you were, why would you have tried so hard to break away from him? Why would you have taken the time to warn us about him?"

"You don't understand. I'm a danger to all of you. If you try to fight MagnaDevimon, he'll destroy you. He already destroyed others like you before. I helped him to." DarkAngewomon said, very close to tears.

With that, MetalAngemon grabbed her shoulders, startling her slightly. "Listen to me, DarkAngewomon. You are nothing, NOTHING, like he is. You are NOT an evil creation. When I look into your eyes I don't see hatred and malice. I see beauty and kindness. Deep within your heart, you are a good person. I know it. You just forgot that, that's all."

"Why do you care?" DarkAngewomon said between broken sobs.

"I care because I care about you. I know that you heart is good. Look inside yourself. Please... I'm begging you." MetalAngemon and DarkAngewomon looked into each other's eyes deeply. Somehow, she sensed that he was right and smiled. Suddenly, her body convulsed in pain. She screamed as a black shape exited her back and spun into the air. When it stopped spinning, it was obvious what it was. Ryo saw it as well.

"A black gear?" Ryo said to himself. "But... how?" Suddenly, the gear was evaporated. DarkAngewomon collapsed into MetalAngemon's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. MetalAngemon held her tightly.

"Are you all right?" MetalAngemon said. DarkAngewomon looked up at him and dried her tears.

"Yes... I am now." She said as she smiled gently at him. He caressed her cheek as they looked again into each other's eyes. Then, their faces drew closer and closer until... they quickly separated, blushing slightly.

"We'd had better get moving." MetalAngemon said as he replaced his helmet.

"All right." DarkAngewomon said as she put her own helmet back on. They flew over to the other hill, where Ryo was waiting.

"C'mon. We can't wait any longer." Ryo said as he hopped onto MetalAngemon's back. With that, the two angels and DigiDestined flew off to the battlefield.



Chapter 4

"Hell Scream!" MagnaDevimon shouted as he launched a shockwave of negative energy at the Digimon, who had digivolved to Ultimate while Ryo was away.

"Don't give up, Leeramon!" Serena shouted to her Ultimate Digimon.

Digimon Analyzer: Leeramon is an Ultimate Digimon that uses her "Wing Whip" attack to stop her opponents. (She has Ravemon's head and feathers but Garudamon's body.)

"Keep at it, MetalExomon!" Peter shouted at his Ultimate Digimon.

"You can do it, Cougarmon!" Matthew shouted to his Ultimate.

"Go for it, Salenedramon!" Sakura shouted to her Ultimate.

"Go, TechnoBeemon!" Mia shouted to her Ultimate.

All of the attacks just evaporated before they hit MagnaDevimon. He then waved his arms and forced all of the Digimon to return to their Rookie levels.

"Oh man!" Peter said. "They're Rookies!"

"He did it without another thought!" Sakura said.

"You cannot oppose me, DigiDestined. Now you will die! Devil's..."

"Heaven's Wrath!" An arrow made of dark energy hit MagnaDevimon before he could launch his final attack. He howled not in pain but in anger. The children looked to where it cam from.

"Look! It's Ryo and MetalAngemon!" Matthew said. "And DarkAngewomon is with them!"

"It's about time!" Peter said.

"Sorry we're late." Ryo said as he got off of MetalAngemon's back. DarkAngewomon faced her former master with confidence for the first time.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't destroy you. That I will truly enjoy." DarkAngewomon said with a fierce fire in her azure eyes.

MagnaDevimon looked at her and was surprised. He never expected her to finally succeed in breaking his hold on her. "So, you have finally claimed your freedom. I am surprised that someone such as you would do so. Let's see how long you last without me! Devil's Wrath!" MagnaDevimon unleashed energy bolts at DarkAngewomon. She fell to the ground. He then grabbed her by the neck. "Now I shall crush you, traitorous witch!"

"Leave her alone!" MetalAngemon shouted as he twisted MagnaDevimon's hand away from her. He faced the demon Digimon with anger in his face.

"How dare you approach me?"

"You are a creature of pure evil and contempt. Digimon such as you have no place in the Digital World."

"And you would be the one who exorcises me from here? Ha." Suddenly, several tendrils of energy coursed around the DigiPort in his lair. MagnaDevimon smiled to himself. "You're already too late, MetalAngemon. My destiny awaits." With that, he flew to the portal.

"Stop!" MetalAngemon cried as he chased after him. It was too late. MagnaDevimon laughed as he entered the portal.

"We're too late." Matthew said. "Now how do we stop him?"

"We follow him, that's how." Peter said as he adjusted his goggles. The children ran to the portal, where Mia quickly examined the equipment.

"The problem is that the coordinates are scrambled." Mia said frustrated. "There's no telling where we'll end up."

"We don't have a choice." Sakura said. "We have to stop MagnaDevimon before he gets to our homes and families."

"What are waiting for?" Ryo said. "Let's get moving." With that, all of the children except Ryo and MetalAngemon entered the portal.

"C'mon, MetalAngemon." Ryo said to his Digimon. He was talking to DarkAngewomon.

"Are you coming with us?" he asked her. She took a look at the lair one last time.

"All right. There's nothing left for me here." With that, both angels and DigiDestined entered the portal as it closed behind them.



Chapter 5

When Peter came to, he found himself near his cabin at summer camp. They had not only made it home, but ended up where they started as well. He sat up and looked around for Isomon.

"Isomon? Where are you?" Peter called out.

"I'm here, Peter." He turned around and saw his Digimon standing behind him.

"Isomon!" Peter said as he hugged his Digimon. "Where are the others?"

"Right here." Peter stood up and saw all of the other children and their Digimon.

"Great. Everyone's here." Peter said.

"Except for DarkAngewomon." Matthew said. "Where did she go?"

"We'll worry about it later. We need to find MagnaDevimon before he gets to our families. We'll have to check at each of our houses and make sure that nothing goes wrong."

"Right." With that, all of the children set off for their homes. Meanwhile, unknown to them, MagnaDevimon was watching from a secret base. He smiled to himself as he said,

"And so, it begins..."

Now that the children are home, what will MagnaDevimon do on Earth? Can both old and young DigiDestined stop him? A new adventure has begun on "Digimon: Digital Monsters"
