Time to end the cliffhanger to see what happens. I changed this Chapter
from its original version in my head, but I can't think of much to say
right now. So I'll just let you read it.
I don't own Digimon its just fan fiction please don't sue.
-------------------
Chapter 48: The Black Mega
I slowly approached camp parting the bushes slightly so I could see. They were all pathetic, wasting their potential like this, they could do so much more with the powers they had been given, but instead they chose to act like fools, they played like children around the fire. I smiled it would only make destroying them now only more entertaining.
"Emil – Empress." Blackgatomon said. "You don't have to do this! They will accept you, you just need to give them some time, they didn't accept Andrew at first but -"
"Do you think that's why I'm doing this?" I said. "Hardly! I don't care if I'm one of them; they're all worthless fools! Do you think I want to be a worthless fool like them! I'm doing this because I don't want to become one of them. I won't settle for the simple life like those fools will, I refuse to! I want nothing but supreme power, and this is the way to get it."
"Myotismon will never let you have that power!" Blackgatomon said. "Trust me I know him, he wants supreme power himself, he's not going to just let you go once you do this. That's what Myotismon does he manipulates."
I only grinned and laughed. "I'm not an idiot, I know that. You don't spend all that time with an evil Digimon like Evamon without knowing what they're like. I know he's going to destroy me as soon as he no longer needs me, of course that won't happen because we're going to destroy him first."
"How can you be so sure that we can? You don't know how powerful he is."
"Power isn't the most important thing to rely on, there's more than one way to fight, but first we have to concentrate on the Digidestined."
"Please just listen to me," she pleaded. "All you wanted your life was a family, now you have one if you do this you're just going to lose them again."
"I told you I don't care about that anymore!" I yelled. "Do you think that after fourteen years of them not being there, that instantly I'm going to forgive them and everything's going to be fine? If you're born without a family that changes you! They were never here for me now why should I care that they are now! Now stop trying to convince me to follow the side of good, I've tried that, and all it got me was boredom and pain."
"Yes Empress," she said. "What do you want me to do?"
I grinned as I looked over the group surrounding the campfire.
"Pick one or two of those rookie Digimon and attack, I don't care which ones just pick some and attack."
Blackgatomon nodded as she immediately followed my instructions.
"Lightning Paw!" she yelled springing out of the bushes. Her paws were engulfed in electricity as she landed between the two Lopmon's using each paw to hit one of the Lopmon, being only rookies the two Lopmon were both easily hit away.
"Hey what's the big deal?" Travis's Lopmon yelled. "The friendly fight is over! Isn't pounding us once enough."
"Cat's eye hypnosis!" Blackgatomon yelled firing energy beams from her eyes hitting Lopmon in the chest sending the small rabbit like Digimon careening into a nearby tree. Travis ran to his partner's side.
"This fight is far from friendly!" Blackgatomon yelled. "This fight will end in your destruction."
"What?" Travis said. "What are you talking about?"
"I would think it would be obvious," I said emerging from the tropical bushes. "Even to pathetic idiots like you."
"What's with the new clothes?" Roy asked.
"Emily," Rob said. "What are you doing?"
"I'll tell you what she's doing!" Sean yelled. "She's doing exactly what I thought she would, betraying us!"
"Well at least one of you isn't a total moron," I said. "Blackgatomon let's finish this quick destroy them now."
"Why are you doing this?" Rob yelled. "I thought you'd given all that up."
"Why? So I could settle down and live a life like the rest of you? Sorry that's just not the way I am. I couldn't just set back and be a civilian my destiny is much greater than that."
"Emily your not like that anymore!" Rob said. "I can feel it, I don't know what's happened to you to make you think that you are, but I know deep in my heart that you have changed."
""Rob she just attacked us!" Sean yelled. "She hasn't changed a bit! What more evidence do you need? She's just as evil as she was before."
"Listen to your friend Perception," I said. "I was wrong, you were being sincere about what you said before, if you weren't you would have seen this coming, funny how love can black even the most perceptive of us."
"No, I didn't miss anything, you -"
"Give it up already!" Sean yelled. "I don't know why you have feelings for her, but they're not letting you see the real person, only the person you want to see, either way we're not making the same mistake twice – Tapirmon Digivolve."
"Happy to!" Tapirmon said as Sean's Digivice activated.
"Tapirmon Digivolved to…………………Apemon!"
"Mind telling us what's going on?" Roy asked. "I thought she was on our side."
"We'll explain later," Sean, said. "Just help us."
"Alright," Roy said. "Lopmon follow his lead and Digivolve."
"You too Lopmon," Travis said.
"Lopmon Digivolved to……………….Turueimon!"
"Lopmon Digivolved to……………….Blackgargomon!"
I couldn't help but laugh. The idiots, they had no idea what they were getting into.
"My turn," Gotsumon yelled beginning to run towards the other Digimon, only to be stopped as Rob grabbed a hold of his arm.
"No, Gotsumon I don't want you to fight."
"Rob they need my help, Blackgatomon's stronger than she looks."
"No, fighting will just make this work, I know it sounds weird but I know there's still a good person inside her."
"It doesn't matter," Sean said. "We don't need Monochromon. Three Champions are more than enough to handle her."
"You'd think so wouldn't you," I said. "Blackgatomon attack."
Blackgatomon gave a quick nod as her tail ring began to glow increasing her power five times. At an amazing speed she shot forward engulfing her paw in electricity.
"Lightning paw!" she yelled hitting Apemon in the chest knocking him over using her momentum to jump right above Blackgargomon's head.
"Gargo laser!" Blackgargomon yelled firing lasers from the mini-guns mounted on his arms, but Blackgargomon used her tail ring to enhance her speed and dodged each of the lasers that came at her and then delivering a powerful uppercut with her lightning paw dropping the rabbit Digimon.
"Power blade!" Turueimon yelled as his blade shot out at my Digimon.
However she still maintained her speed and easily jumped into the air out of the way and Turueimon's wrist stuck in the ground giving Blackgatomon ample opportunity to attack, which she took kicking Turueimon in the head sending his face crashing into the dirt.
"Now Blackgatomon take out the source!"
Blackgatomon jumped into the air and jumped towards Travis and Roy they both froze, but Blackgatomon didn't attack them, she only landed on Roy's head using it to help her jump father and landed between Sean and Rob.
"Now!" I commanded.
Blackgatomon obeyed my command and swiped her claw at both of the Canadian Digidestined, but both were able to take a step back and the claws only slightly ripped their shirts.
"Rock fist!" Gotsumon yelled finally responding to Blackgatomon's attack and fired a rock from his head, which Blackgatomon easily dodged. She really didn't need to dodge, a rookie attack like that was easy for her to handle, especially with her tail ring glowing. Apemon and Gotsumon had become extremely angered by the last attack and now both jumped between my partner and their own.
"That's it you're going down kitty!" Apemon yelled. "No one attacks my partner."
"I'm with you Apemon, and I'm just as mad, it's time to Digi-" he froze in mid sentence as he reached for his crest, it was no longer around his neck. "Hey! Where'd my crest go?"
"You mean this," Blackgatomon said as he held out her claw. Both Sean and Rob's crests hung on her claw. She quickly tossed the crests into my hands.
"You must think I'm pretty stupid," I said. "I know that Blackgatomon couldn't beat your Digimon if he Warp Digivolved, then is Monochromon Digivolved, then there's the Champions to add to the deal. I'm not Evamon, I don't rely on power alone, you have to use your head."
"That doesn't matter!" Roy yelled. "There's still three Champions and they can always beat one. You just got lucky last time."
I smirked. "You're right, the only reason I managed to beat all of you is because you fought Blackgatomon separately, if you fight together Blackgatomon doesn't stand a chance against all your Digimon."
"Then why are you so confident?" Travis asked.
"Can't get anything past you can I? I guess you have to find out eventually, this is why I'm so confident." I said holding up my crest of Darkness.
"Oh no," Sean said. "Not this again. I really hated this part, struggling as Champions to defeat an Ultimate."
My grin only grew wider. "Oh I'm afraid it's much worse than that. Blackgatomon show them."
I held my crest up and it began to glow engulfing Blackgatomon in the black light.
"Blackgatomon Warp Digivolved to……………….Blackmagnadramon!"
I reveled at the site of their looks of horror as Blackmagnadramon emerged from the night, a massive feline like Digimon, and what made it so much better was that she was at the Mega level.
"It – it's a Mega Digimon." Roy stuttered.
"I don't care if it is a Mega," Blackgargomon said reloading his guns. "We can take her right?"
"You bet!" Turueimon said.
"We'll give it a shot," Apemon said slightly less optimistic than the others.
"Great attitude guys!" Sean said. "We fight until we drop."
"Metallic Fur!"
"Power Blade!"
"Gargo laser!"
Blackmagnadramon didn't even try to move as the attack rained onto her face, they were nothing but a splash of water to her as they hit her face and simply disappeared.
"Is that all you've got? Let me show you a real attack!" my Digimon said. "Black tornado!"
Blackmagnadramon didn't move from he position on the ground as she fired a tornado composed entirely of flames from her mouth, which caught her three opponents within it before they had even the slightest time to react. All three Champion Digimon were flung into the air by the incredible attack and crashed down onto the ground in their rookie forms when it finally cleared, their partners quickly running to their sides and cradling them in their arms.
Both Blackmagnadramon and I both grinned evilly as our eyes met with Gotsumon and Rob, the only ones still capable of fighting. Blackmagnadramon took a step towards them.
"So Gotsumon are you going to Digivolve so I can kick your butt or are would you like to get beat up this way." She said.
"We're not going to fight you!" Rob yelled.
""Fine," I said. "If you really want you can just stand there while we destroy you. Blackmagnadramon attack."
With one quick movement Blackmagnadramon's massive tail slammed into the rock like Digimon he flew several feet before crashing hard into a tree. Blackmagnadramon didn't waste anytime continuing to the attack and pounced, her paw was about to crash down onto Gotsumon until-
"Gotsumon!" Rob yelled pushing his Digimon out of the way and Blackmagnadramon's paw came crashing down on him pinning him to the ground.
"No!" I yelled my voice full of concern.
I shook my head, what did I just do? Why would I care what happens to him.
"Aaaaah!" he screamed as Blackmagnadramon applied pressure to his chest.
This was it any moment now he'd be destroyed and I'd be down one Digidestined, and with one of them down the rest would topple. Then why didn't I feel great? Part of me was happy to see one of them about to die, and then there was this other feeling that begged me to tell Blackmagnadramon to stop. This voice in the back of my head that told me I actually cared for him, and was begging me to stop Blackmagnadramon from hurting him. It was really starting to annoy me, I didn't care for that idiot in the least I wanted him dead like all the other Digidestined, but this voice in the back of my head begging me to stop kept getting louder and more annoying.
"Blackmagnadramon stop!" I yelled.
She immediately obeyed and removed her paw from Rob's chest. I didn't care for him, that's one thing I knew for sure, I just wanted that stupid voice to stop pestering me.
I climbed up Blackmagnadramon's tail and onto her back.
"Let's go Blackmagnadramon," I said. "We'll leave these weaklings for now. We've got bigger fish to fry, I say before we deal with the other Digidestined we collect the seed to my heir."
"To Italy then?" my Digimon asked.
I nodded. "Yes, we'll come back and destroy these fools when we've got what we need there."
Without looking back Blackmagnadramon took off into the air traveling at amazing speeds that only Armyleomon's commercial mode could top. Maybe the Digidestined below had tried to stop us from taking off; if they did I didn't see it and it didn't work.
Things had changed since my defeat months ago, the Digidestined could Digivolve further than Champion level, and my Digimon was at the Mega level, but one thing hadn't changed. My goal was still to conquer the Digital world, and another thing that hadn't changed was that I still need an heir to succeed me, and I still had my eyes set on Kris to provide me with that heir. His crest was the most powerful of the group, no others would do, and he would provide me with an heir whether he liked it or not.

Jenn
My eyes slowly opened, expecting to fell Kris's arms wrapped tightly around me, but to my disappointment I found no one lying next to me. I sat up immediately searching the room for Kris, and spotted him outside on the balcony. I stretched quickly threw on my discarded clothes and stepped onto the balcony with Kris leaning on the railing along with him. Without hesitation he threw one arm around me and kissed me on the cheek.
"Morning," he said drawing me closer.
"Doesn't look like its morning to me," I said pointing out the pitch-black sky.
He laughed. "Well it's only about four in the morning now, we slept for about an hour."
"Don't you think we should pick up the others and head home soon?"
"Yeah you're right," he said. "That's why I was up, I was just waiting for you to wake up we should probably get going soon, they're going to be mad enough that it took us this long."
"You're right, do you think you can find the room that Elecmon and Penguinmon are in."
"According to my D3 their right below us, or at least a few floors below us, tell you what, if you go brag four sodas from the vending machine."
"Sounds good," I said. "Good luck finding them."
He released his hold on me and jumped onto the fire escape attached to the balcony. Meanwhile I went through the room and into the hallway, and made my way through the winding hallway to the vending machine. I reached into my pocket, and find the right amount of coins, I stopped, as I was about to put the coins in the slot. There was one small detail I forgot.
"Yeah nice one Jenn," I said to myself. "Canadian coins aren't going to work here. Maybe Kris has some Lira."
I put the coins back in my pocket, but before I could even turn around and head back to the room a loud crash froze me in my tracks.
"What the -" I started then cut off as a nearby wall crumbled as two small Digimon crashed through it.
Penguinmon and Elecmon!
I quickly ran to the weakened Digimon's side, and cradled Penguinmon in my arms.
"Oh my god! What happened you guys?" I asked.
Elecmon was already up, and glaring evilly into the hole in the wall that he and Penguinmon had created. There was a ton of dust covering the wall so we couldn't he a thing beyond it, the wall might as well still be there.
"I can't believe I let her drop my guard," Elecmon said. "I'm sorry Kris, but don't worry I'm coming."
The small rabbit Digimon then took off into the hole in the wall disappearing into the dust.
"Penguinmon what happened?"
Penguinmon groaned and sat up in my arms. "Big Digimon! Very big Digimon!"
"That's impossible!" I yelled. "I thought we got them all."
"We did," my Digimon said. "This one's different, it's a giant black cat Digimon, Blackgatomon's Mega form, Blackmagnadramon."
"Blackgatomon's Mega?" I said. "That means -"
"Yeah," Penguinmon said nodding. "Emily! It happened so fast; Kris came down to the empty room Angela brought us to and told us we were leaving. Then out of nowhere Blackmagnadramon crashed into the room, Elecmon and I were knocked away with one swift flick of her tail."
"Kris!" I yelled. "What happened to Kris?"
"I don't know," she answered. "It happened way too fast."
"Let's go now!" I said jumping to my feet and following Elecmon into the dusty pile of ruble.
I knew this would happen, I knew she couldn't be trusted! All this time she must have been biding her time waiting for us to drop our guard so she could attack. Her crest probably never even disappeared; she probably did something to make it become dormant so we would think she had changed. Now she was trying to take Kris, I would not let that happen. She tried to take him away from me once I was not going to let it happen again.
"Aaaaah!" I heard Kris scream.
"Let him go!" Elecmon yelled.
Hearing that only made me increase my speed, and finally emerged from the dust.
"I said let him go!" Elecmon yelled beginning to charge and aim his sparkling thunder.
A wall along with a huge chunk of the floor was now missing, and Elecmon was standing at the edge, preparing to fire at Emily and a giant feline Digimon, which I could only assume, was Blackmagnadramon.
I cringed as I saw Emily riding atop of her Mega Digimon holding Kris in a tight grip her whip wrapped around his neck. She wasn't putting any pressure on his neck but it was obvious that any second now she could.
"Or you'll do what?" Emily said laughing that horrible evil grin on her face. "Attack me? I doubt it, there's too much of a chance you'll hurt your partner."
"I knew we couldn't trust you!" I yelled.
She only laughed at seeing me. "Now this is going to be interesting."
"I knew you couldn't change, you couldn't be that ruthless then suddenly change! I'm warning you for the first and last time let him go! If you touch him you'll wish you stayed dead!"
"Don't worry about that," she said. "I don't plan on hurting him, I've got other things in mind. You however I can't say the same thing about."
"I know what you plan on doing with him, and there is no way I'm going to let you carry it out!"
"Oh I'm scared," she said with a sarcastic tone. "You can't save him, he's mine now, but don't worry I don't want him for the same reason you do, and I'm sure he'll be thinking of you the whole time."
I clenched my fist growing angrier with every word she spoke. I couldn't believe I'd let my guard down and let her attack this way, I knew that she couldn't be trusted and she would probably turn on us, but still I hadn't let myself be aware that she would attack. She was halfway across the world I didn't think it was possible for her to get here; Blackmagnadramon could probably fly as fast as Armyleomon's commercial mode.
"Listen to her!" Elecmon yelled. "I feel the same way, you touch my partner and you're going to regret it."
"Don't make me laugh. They're just empty threats, besides you won't have to worry about losing him to me because by the time I carry out my plans you'll both be dead."
"I've had enough of this!" I yelled reaching for my Digivice and crest. "Penguinmon let's take her out now!"
Penguinmon didn't waist time for my items to activate she simply jumped from my arms diving at Emily and Blackmagnadramon. I immediately used my Digivice and crest.
"Penguinmon warp Digivolved to……………….Eaglemon!"
Digivolving hadn't stopped Eaglemon from continuing her dive that she had started as Penguinmon. Now much bigger she plowed right into Blackmagnadramon's chest. It was a very hard hit and Blackmagnadramon was sent flying, at the same time sending Kris and Emily flying off of her back. Eaglemon quickly caught Kris in her hands, while Blackmagnadramon recovered from the hit and flew under her catching Emily on her back.
"Blackmagnadramon you idiot!" Emily yelled. "How could you have let her do that?!"
"Eaglemon is a Mega," Blackmagnadramon said. "She had enough power to do it."
"I'm aware she's a Mega you idiot!" Emily yelled. "You should have realized she was going to Digivolve and gotten out of the way! We are not going to make the same mistake as Evamon and rely on power alone! Use your head, that's why Evamon is dead! He didn't!"
"Yes Empress."
"Let's move from this dangerous location," Eaglemon said.
In one swift movement of her golden wing she swept Elecmon and I onto her back and descended onto the ground, then yet again quickly swept off safely off her back and onto the ground placing Kris next to us. I immediately wrapped my arms around him; I did not want to let him go.
"Kris, are you alright? Did she hurt you?"
"I'm fine," he said. "She only hurt my pride, I can't believe I let her grab me like that."
"Don't feel bad about it Penguinmon told me about it, she surprised you."
"Pathetic," Emily said as Blackmagnadramon landed on the ground, and she climbed off her Digimon's back. "Are you quite done?"
"Why are you doing this?" Kris asked. "Evamon is dead! You don't need to follow him anymore."
Emily laughed. "Please I you make it seem like I was forced to follow this path! I chose it; I didn't need Evamon to tell me to be evil! I'm not going to be like you and waste the gift that has been giving to me, I'm going to use it to achieve the greatness that I am meant to achieve."
"But you don't have to do this!" Kris yelled. "Evamon is gone, all you have to do now is live in peace, you can be happy."
"It's the reason that Evamon is gone that gives me even more reason for doing this, my main competition is gone, and as for being happy…living in peace is not my idea of being happy. The only way I'm going to be happy is if I follow this path."
"Kris, give it up!" I said. "She's not going to change her ways, if she was she never would have betrayed us like this, I'm sorry but she's nothing like Andrew."
Kris dropped his head. I could tell he didn't want to accept that she couldn't be turned around, sometimes he was a little too Compassionate.
"You're right," Kris said. "She's not, we've tried time and time again to turn her over and she's failed to convince even me that she's got some good in her. We only have one choice now, to fight."
"Finally," I said. "This should be easy enough two Megas can easily take one."
"Um – there's kind of a problem with that." Kris said.
"Problem?" I said. "What problem?"
"I would believe that would be this," Emily said as she held Kris's crest in her hand, along with two others. Rob and Sean's.
I swallowed hard, our odds had just been cut in half, without Kris's crest Elecmon was unable to become Saberleomon leaving us with only one Mega.
"Kris, I have an idea." I said. "You've got to go and pick up the others to help us."
"Jenn, I'm not leaving you!" Kris yelled. "Elecmon can still Digivolve into Leomon."
"Kris you know just as well I do that a Champion and a Mega isn't much of a fight, he'll just get in our way. But Emily only had three of our crests. That still leaves five of us that are able to fight, with Scorpiomon, Superstarmon, Gigadramon, and Ookuwamon we'll have more than enough to defeat her. I know you don't want to leave me, but you have to think the way you always do. Think of the fight, I'll hold her off here while you get the others, please like you always do think of the fight."
Kris had a hesitant look on his face, but still he knew I was right.
"Okay – I know – you're right. I don't want to go, but you know that, good luck. Elecmon let's go. Digi-armor energize!"
"Elecmon armor Digivolved to…………..Armyleomon!"
"Armyleomon mode changed to…………Commercial mode!"
Armyleomon's giant dome opened and he immediately extended his ramp.
"Jenn-"
"I know," I said brushing my hand against his cheek. "I love you too."
We drew each other into a light kiss, reluctantly we had to break it and he ran up Armyleomon's ramp.
"Good luck!" he yelled. "I know you won't let me down."
He jumped into the dome and in a second the ramp retracted and the dome shut. Once that was done Armyleomon got on his way and quickly took off into the air breaking into his maximum speed, it looked like he had simply disappeared. Of course he hadn't, he was just moving at an incredible speed.
I stopped looking into the air, and met the evil grin on Emily's face with a cold glare.
"You're not going to try and stop them?" I asked.
"I don't need to," she said. "Once I'm done with you Blackmagnadramon I will find him easier, besides he's going to bring the rest right to me. By letting him go he's sparing me a lot of work."
"So I guess it's you and me," I said. "A battle to the death."
She laughed. "I guess, I'm actually glad I wasn't able to grab your crest, at least I'll get one decent fight in before I destroy all of you."
"I don't know about you destroying us," I said. "But I can guarantee you a good fight."
"Good, I must say this is going to be one interesting fight. Blackmagnadramon attack."
Blackmagnadramon took a step forward, so did Eaglemon and the two Mega Digimon squared off, and thus the battle of Darkness Vs. Assistance began.
---------------
And thus ends Chapter 48, can you believe it only two more Chapters to go! This fic is continuing to draw to a close I can hardly believe it. Now that that's up I have to mention that I probably won't get the next Chapter up for a couple of weeks. First of all it's a really big Chapter, and a lot of important stuff happens in it so it's going to take a while to write. Second I won't have a lot of time to write, I have to work a lot this week so I won't have much time to write, aside from work I've also got to prepare for a trip to Edmonton I'm taking in a week, which brings me to another reason. I'll be in Edmonton next week and thus away from my computer so I won't be able to write at all that week. So I'd expect it up in about two and a half to three weeks. Still watch for it.
Stay tuned for Chapter 49: The Regrouping
I don't own Digimon its just fan fiction please don't sue.

Chapter 48: The Black Mega
I slowly approached camp parting the bushes slightly so I could see. They were all pathetic, wasting their potential like this, they could do so much more with the powers they had been given, but instead they chose to act like fools, they played like children around the fire. I smiled it would only make destroying them now only more entertaining.
"Emil – Empress." Blackgatomon said. "You don't have to do this! They will accept you, you just need to give them some time, they didn't accept Andrew at first but -"
"Do you think that's why I'm doing this?" I said. "Hardly! I don't care if I'm one of them; they're all worthless fools! Do you think I want to be a worthless fool like them! I'm doing this because I don't want to become one of them. I won't settle for the simple life like those fools will, I refuse to! I want nothing but supreme power, and this is the way to get it."
"Myotismon will never let you have that power!" Blackgatomon said. "Trust me I know him, he wants supreme power himself, he's not going to just let you go once you do this. That's what Myotismon does he manipulates."
I only grinned and laughed. "I'm not an idiot, I know that. You don't spend all that time with an evil Digimon like Evamon without knowing what they're like. I know he's going to destroy me as soon as he no longer needs me, of course that won't happen because we're going to destroy him first."
"How can you be so sure that we can? You don't know how powerful he is."
"Power isn't the most important thing to rely on, there's more than one way to fight, but first we have to concentrate on the Digidestined."
"Please just listen to me," she pleaded. "All you wanted your life was a family, now you have one if you do this you're just going to lose them again."
"I told you I don't care about that anymore!" I yelled. "Do you think that after fourteen years of them not being there, that instantly I'm going to forgive them and everything's going to be fine? If you're born without a family that changes you! They were never here for me now why should I care that they are now! Now stop trying to convince me to follow the side of good, I've tried that, and all it got me was boredom and pain."
"Yes Empress," she said. "What do you want me to do?"
I grinned as I looked over the group surrounding the campfire.
"Pick one or two of those rookie Digimon and attack, I don't care which ones just pick some and attack."
Blackgatomon nodded as she immediately followed my instructions.
"Lightning Paw!" she yelled springing out of the bushes. Her paws were engulfed in electricity as she landed between the two Lopmon's using each paw to hit one of the Lopmon, being only rookies the two Lopmon were both easily hit away.
"Hey what's the big deal?" Travis's Lopmon yelled. "The friendly fight is over! Isn't pounding us once enough."
"Cat's eye hypnosis!" Blackgatomon yelled firing energy beams from her eyes hitting Lopmon in the chest sending the small rabbit like Digimon careening into a nearby tree. Travis ran to his partner's side.
"This fight is far from friendly!" Blackgatomon yelled. "This fight will end in your destruction."
"What?" Travis said. "What are you talking about?"
"I would think it would be obvious," I said emerging from the tropical bushes. "Even to pathetic idiots like you."
"What's with the new clothes?" Roy asked.
"Emily," Rob said. "What are you doing?"
"I'll tell you what she's doing!" Sean yelled. "She's doing exactly what I thought she would, betraying us!"
"Well at least one of you isn't a total moron," I said. "Blackgatomon let's finish this quick destroy them now."
"Why are you doing this?" Rob yelled. "I thought you'd given all that up."
"Why? So I could settle down and live a life like the rest of you? Sorry that's just not the way I am. I couldn't just set back and be a civilian my destiny is much greater than that."
"Emily your not like that anymore!" Rob said. "I can feel it, I don't know what's happened to you to make you think that you are, but I know deep in my heart that you have changed."
""Rob she just attacked us!" Sean yelled. "She hasn't changed a bit! What more evidence do you need? She's just as evil as she was before."
"Listen to your friend Perception," I said. "I was wrong, you were being sincere about what you said before, if you weren't you would have seen this coming, funny how love can black even the most perceptive of us."
"No, I didn't miss anything, you -"
"Give it up already!" Sean yelled. "I don't know why you have feelings for her, but they're not letting you see the real person, only the person you want to see, either way we're not making the same mistake twice – Tapirmon Digivolve."
"Happy to!" Tapirmon said as Sean's Digivice activated.
"Tapirmon Digivolved to…………………Apemon!"
"Mind telling us what's going on?" Roy asked. "I thought she was on our side."
"We'll explain later," Sean, said. "Just help us."
"Alright," Roy said. "Lopmon follow his lead and Digivolve."
"You too Lopmon," Travis said.
"Lopmon Digivolved to……………….Turueimon!"
"Lopmon Digivolved to……………….Blackgargomon!"
I couldn't help but laugh. The idiots, they had no idea what they were getting into.
"My turn," Gotsumon yelled beginning to run towards the other Digimon, only to be stopped as Rob grabbed a hold of his arm.
"No, Gotsumon I don't want you to fight."
"Rob they need my help, Blackgatomon's stronger than she looks."
"No, fighting will just make this work, I know it sounds weird but I know there's still a good person inside her."
"It doesn't matter," Sean said. "We don't need Monochromon. Three Champions are more than enough to handle her."
"You'd think so wouldn't you," I said. "Blackgatomon attack."
Blackgatomon gave a quick nod as her tail ring began to glow increasing her power five times. At an amazing speed she shot forward engulfing her paw in electricity.
"Lightning paw!" she yelled hitting Apemon in the chest knocking him over using her momentum to jump right above Blackgargomon's head.
"Gargo laser!" Blackgargomon yelled firing lasers from the mini-guns mounted on his arms, but Blackgargomon used her tail ring to enhance her speed and dodged each of the lasers that came at her and then delivering a powerful uppercut with her lightning paw dropping the rabbit Digimon.
"Power blade!" Turueimon yelled as his blade shot out at my Digimon.
However she still maintained her speed and easily jumped into the air out of the way and Turueimon's wrist stuck in the ground giving Blackgatomon ample opportunity to attack, which she took kicking Turueimon in the head sending his face crashing into the dirt.
"Now Blackgatomon take out the source!"
Blackgatomon jumped into the air and jumped towards Travis and Roy they both froze, but Blackgatomon didn't attack them, she only landed on Roy's head using it to help her jump father and landed between Sean and Rob.
"Now!" I commanded.
Blackgatomon obeyed my command and swiped her claw at both of the Canadian Digidestined, but both were able to take a step back and the claws only slightly ripped their shirts.
"Rock fist!" Gotsumon yelled finally responding to Blackgatomon's attack and fired a rock from his head, which Blackgatomon easily dodged. She really didn't need to dodge, a rookie attack like that was easy for her to handle, especially with her tail ring glowing. Apemon and Gotsumon had become extremely angered by the last attack and now both jumped between my partner and their own.
"That's it you're going down kitty!" Apemon yelled. "No one attacks my partner."
"I'm with you Apemon, and I'm just as mad, it's time to Digi-" he froze in mid sentence as he reached for his crest, it was no longer around his neck. "Hey! Where'd my crest go?"
"You mean this," Blackgatomon said as he held out her claw. Both Sean and Rob's crests hung on her claw. She quickly tossed the crests into my hands.
"You must think I'm pretty stupid," I said. "I know that Blackgatomon couldn't beat your Digimon if he Warp Digivolved, then is Monochromon Digivolved, then there's the Champions to add to the deal. I'm not Evamon, I don't rely on power alone, you have to use your head."
"That doesn't matter!" Roy yelled. "There's still three Champions and they can always beat one. You just got lucky last time."
I smirked. "You're right, the only reason I managed to beat all of you is because you fought Blackgatomon separately, if you fight together Blackgatomon doesn't stand a chance against all your Digimon."
"Then why are you so confident?" Travis asked.
"Can't get anything past you can I? I guess you have to find out eventually, this is why I'm so confident." I said holding up my crest of Darkness.
"Oh no," Sean said. "Not this again. I really hated this part, struggling as Champions to defeat an Ultimate."
My grin only grew wider. "Oh I'm afraid it's much worse than that. Blackgatomon show them."
I held my crest up and it began to glow engulfing Blackgatomon in the black light.
"Blackgatomon Warp Digivolved to……………….Blackmagnadramon!"
I reveled at the site of their looks of horror as Blackmagnadramon emerged from the night, a massive feline like Digimon, and what made it so much better was that she was at the Mega level.
"It – it's a Mega Digimon." Roy stuttered.
"I don't care if it is a Mega," Blackgargomon said reloading his guns. "We can take her right?"
"You bet!" Turueimon said.
"We'll give it a shot," Apemon said slightly less optimistic than the others.
"Great attitude guys!" Sean said. "We fight until we drop."
"Metallic Fur!"
"Power Blade!"
"Gargo laser!"
Blackmagnadramon didn't even try to move as the attack rained onto her face, they were nothing but a splash of water to her as they hit her face and simply disappeared.
"Is that all you've got? Let me show you a real attack!" my Digimon said. "Black tornado!"
Blackmagnadramon didn't move from he position on the ground as she fired a tornado composed entirely of flames from her mouth, which caught her three opponents within it before they had even the slightest time to react. All three Champion Digimon were flung into the air by the incredible attack and crashed down onto the ground in their rookie forms when it finally cleared, their partners quickly running to their sides and cradling them in their arms.
Both Blackmagnadramon and I both grinned evilly as our eyes met with Gotsumon and Rob, the only ones still capable of fighting. Blackmagnadramon took a step towards them.
"So Gotsumon are you going to Digivolve so I can kick your butt or are would you like to get beat up this way." She said.
"We're not going to fight you!" Rob yelled.
""Fine," I said. "If you really want you can just stand there while we destroy you. Blackmagnadramon attack."
With one quick movement Blackmagnadramon's massive tail slammed into the rock like Digimon he flew several feet before crashing hard into a tree. Blackmagnadramon didn't waste anytime continuing to the attack and pounced, her paw was about to crash down onto Gotsumon until-
"Gotsumon!" Rob yelled pushing his Digimon out of the way and Blackmagnadramon's paw came crashing down on him pinning him to the ground.
"No!" I yelled my voice full of concern.
I shook my head, what did I just do? Why would I care what happens to him.
"Aaaaah!" he screamed as Blackmagnadramon applied pressure to his chest.
This was it any moment now he'd be destroyed and I'd be down one Digidestined, and with one of them down the rest would topple. Then why didn't I feel great? Part of me was happy to see one of them about to die, and then there was this other feeling that begged me to tell Blackmagnadramon to stop. This voice in the back of my head that told me I actually cared for him, and was begging me to stop Blackmagnadramon from hurting him. It was really starting to annoy me, I didn't care for that idiot in the least I wanted him dead like all the other Digidestined, but this voice in the back of my head begging me to stop kept getting louder and more annoying.
"Blackmagnadramon stop!" I yelled.
She immediately obeyed and removed her paw from Rob's chest. I didn't care for him, that's one thing I knew for sure, I just wanted that stupid voice to stop pestering me.
I climbed up Blackmagnadramon's tail and onto her back.
"Let's go Blackmagnadramon," I said. "We'll leave these weaklings for now. We've got bigger fish to fry, I say before we deal with the other Digidestined we collect the seed to my heir."
"To Italy then?" my Digimon asked.
I nodded. "Yes, we'll come back and destroy these fools when we've got what we need there."
Without looking back Blackmagnadramon took off into the air traveling at amazing speeds that only Armyleomon's commercial mode could top. Maybe the Digidestined below had tried to stop us from taking off; if they did I didn't see it and it didn't work.
Things had changed since my defeat months ago, the Digidestined could Digivolve further than Champion level, and my Digimon was at the Mega level, but one thing hadn't changed. My goal was still to conquer the Digital world, and another thing that hadn't changed was that I still need an heir to succeed me, and I still had my eyes set on Kris to provide me with that heir. His crest was the most powerful of the group, no others would do, and he would provide me with an heir whether he liked it or not.

Jenn
My eyes slowly opened, expecting to fell Kris's arms wrapped tightly around me, but to my disappointment I found no one lying next to me. I sat up immediately searching the room for Kris, and spotted him outside on the balcony. I stretched quickly threw on my discarded clothes and stepped onto the balcony with Kris leaning on the railing along with him. Without hesitation he threw one arm around me and kissed me on the cheek.
"Morning," he said drawing me closer.
"Doesn't look like its morning to me," I said pointing out the pitch-black sky.
He laughed. "Well it's only about four in the morning now, we slept for about an hour."
"Don't you think we should pick up the others and head home soon?"
"Yeah you're right," he said. "That's why I was up, I was just waiting for you to wake up we should probably get going soon, they're going to be mad enough that it took us this long."
"You're right, do you think you can find the room that Elecmon and Penguinmon are in."
"According to my D3 their right below us, or at least a few floors below us, tell you what, if you go brag four sodas from the vending machine."
"Sounds good," I said. "Good luck finding them."
He released his hold on me and jumped onto the fire escape attached to the balcony. Meanwhile I went through the room and into the hallway, and made my way through the winding hallway to the vending machine. I reached into my pocket, and find the right amount of coins, I stopped, as I was about to put the coins in the slot. There was one small detail I forgot.
"Yeah nice one Jenn," I said to myself. "Canadian coins aren't going to work here. Maybe Kris has some Lira."
I put the coins back in my pocket, but before I could even turn around and head back to the room a loud crash froze me in my tracks.
"What the -" I started then cut off as a nearby wall crumbled as two small Digimon crashed through it.
Penguinmon and Elecmon!
I quickly ran to the weakened Digimon's side, and cradled Penguinmon in my arms.
"Oh my god! What happened you guys?" I asked.
Elecmon was already up, and glaring evilly into the hole in the wall that he and Penguinmon had created. There was a ton of dust covering the wall so we couldn't he a thing beyond it, the wall might as well still be there.
"I can't believe I let her drop my guard," Elecmon said. "I'm sorry Kris, but don't worry I'm coming."
The small rabbit Digimon then took off into the hole in the wall disappearing into the dust.
"Penguinmon what happened?"
Penguinmon groaned and sat up in my arms. "Big Digimon! Very big Digimon!"
"That's impossible!" I yelled. "I thought we got them all."
"We did," my Digimon said. "This one's different, it's a giant black cat Digimon, Blackgatomon's Mega form, Blackmagnadramon."
"Blackgatomon's Mega?" I said. "That means -"
"Yeah," Penguinmon said nodding. "Emily! It happened so fast; Kris came down to the empty room Angela brought us to and told us we were leaving. Then out of nowhere Blackmagnadramon crashed into the room, Elecmon and I were knocked away with one swift flick of her tail."
"Kris!" I yelled. "What happened to Kris?"
"I don't know," she answered. "It happened way too fast."
"Let's go now!" I said jumping to my feet and following Elecmon into the dusty pile of ruble.
I knew this would happen, I knew she couldn't be trusted! All this time she must have been biding her time waiting for us to drop our guard so she could attack. Her crest probably never even disappeared; she probably did something to make it become dormant so we would think she had changed. Now she was trying to take Kris, I would not let that happen. She tried to take him away from me once I was not going to let it happen again.
"Aaaaah!" I heard Kris scream.
"Let him go!" Elecmon yelled.
Hearing that only made me increase my speed, and finally emerged from the dust.
"I said let him go!" Elecmon yelled beginning to charge and aim his sparkling thunder.
A wall along with a huge chunk of the floor was now missing, and Elecmon was standing at the edge, preparing to fire at Emily and a giant feline Digimon, which I could only assume, was Blackmagnadramon.
I cringed as I saw Emily riding atop of her Mega Digimon holding Kris in a tight grip her whip wrapped around his neck. She wasn't putting any pressure on his neck but it was obvious that any second now she could.
"Or you'll do what?" Emily said laughing that horrible evil grin on her face. "Attack me? I doubt it, there's too much of a chance you'll hurt your partner."
"I knew we couldn't trust you!" I yelled.
She only laughed at seeing me. "Now this is going to be interesting."
"I knew you couldn't change, you couldn't be that ruthless then suddenly change! I'm warning you for the first and last time let him go! If you touch him you'll wish you stayed dead!"
"Don't worry about that," she said. "I don't plan on hurting him, I've got other things in mind. You however I can't say the same thing about."
"I know what you plan on doing with him, and there is no way I'm going to let you carry it out!"
"Oh I'm scared," she said with a sarcastic tone. "You can't save him, he's mine now, but don't worry I don't want him for the same reason you do, and I'm sure he'll be thinking of you the whole time."
I clenched my fist growing angrier with every word she spoke. I couldn't believe I'd let my guard down and let her attack this way, I knew that she couldn't be trusted and she would probably turn on us, but still I hadn't let myself be aware that she would attack. She was halfway across the world I didn't think it was possible for her to get here; Blackmagnadramon could probably fly as fast as Armyleomon's commercial mode.
"Listen to her!" Elecmon yelled. "I feel the same way, you touch my partner and you're going to regret it."
"Don't make me laugh. They're just empty threats, besides you won't have to worry about losing him to me because by the time I carry out my plans you'll both be dead."
"I've had enough of this!" I yelled reaching for my Digivice and crest. "Penguinmon let's take her out now!"
Penguinmon didn't waist time for my items to activate she simply jumped from my arms diving at Emily and Blackmagnadramon. I immediately used my Digivice and crest.
"Penguinmon warp Digivolved to……………….Eaglemon!"
Digivolving hadn't stopped Eaglemon from continuing her dive that she had started as Penguinmon. Now much bigger she plowed right into Blackmagnadramon's chest. It was a very hard hit and Blackmagnadramon was sent flying, at the same time sending Kris and Emily flying off of her back. Eaglemon quickly caught Kris in her hands, while Blackmagnadramon recovered from the hit and flew under her catching Emily on her back.
"Blackmagnadramon you idiot!" Emily yelled. "How could you have let her do that?!"
"Eaglemon is a Mega," Blackmagnadramon said. "She had enough power to do it."
"I'm aware she's a Mega you idiot!" Emily yelled. "You should have realized she was going to Digivolve and gotten out of the way! We are not going to make the same mistake as Evamon and rely on power alone! Use your head, that's why Evamon is dead! He didn't!"
"Yes Empress."
"Let's move from this dangerous location," Eaglemon said.
In one swift movement of her golden wing she swept Elecmon and I onto her back and descended onto the ground, then yet again quickly swept off safely off her back and onto the ground placing Kris next to us. I immediately wrapped my arms around him; I did not want to let him go.
"Kris, are you alright? Did she hurt you?"
"I'm fine," he said. "She only hurt my pride, I can't believe I let her grab me like that."
"Don't feel bad about it Penguinmon told me about it, she surprised you."
"Pathetic," Emily said as Blackmagnadramon landed on the ground, and she climbed off her Digimon's back. "Are you quite done?"
"Why are you doing this?" Kris asked. "Evamon is dead! You don't need to follow him anymore."
Emily laughed. "Please I you make it seem like I was forced to follow this path! I chose it; I didn't need Evamon to tell me to be evil! I'm not going to be like you and waste the gift that has been giving to me, I'm going to use it to achieve the greatness that I am meant to achieve."
"But you don't have to do this!" Kris yelled. "Evamon is gone, all you have to do now is live in peace, you can be happy."
"It's the reason that Evamon is gone that gives me even more reason for doing this, my main competition is gone, and as for being happy…living in peace is not my idea of being happy. The only way I'm going to be happy is if I follow this path."
"Kris, give it up!" I said. "She's not going to change her ways, if she was she never would have betrayed us like this, I'm sorry but she's nothing like Andrew."
Kris dropped his head. I could tell he didn't want to accept that she couldn't be turned around, sometimes he was a little too Compassionate.
"You're right," Kris said. "She's not, we've tried time and time again to turn her over and she's failed to convince even me that she's got some good in her. We only have one choice now, to fight."
"Finally," I said. "This should be easy enough two Megas can easily take one."
"Um – there's kind of a problem with that." Kris said.
"Problem?" I said. "What problem?"
"I would believe that would be this," Emily said as she held Kris's crest in her hand, along with two others. Rob and Sean's.
I swallowed hard, our odds had just been cut in half, without Kris's crest Elecmon was unable to become Saberleomon leaving us with only one Mega.
"Kris, I have an idea." I said. "You've got to go and pick up the others to help us."
"Jenn, I'm not leaving you!" Kris yelled. "Elecmon can still Digivolve into Leomon."
"Kris you know just as well I do that a Champion and a Mega isn't much of a fight, he'll just get in our way. But Emily only had three of our crests. That still leaves five of us that are able to fight, with Scorpiomon, Superstarmon, Gigadramon, and Ookuwamon we'll have more than enough to defeat her. I know you don't want to leave me, but you have to think the way you always do. Think of the fight, I'll hold her off here while you get the others, please like you always do think of the fight."
Kris had a hesitant look on his face, but still he knew I was right.
"Okay – I know – you're right. I don't want to go, but you know that, good luck. Elecmon let's go. Digi-armor energize!"
"Elecmon armor Digivolved to…………..Armyleomon!"
"Armyleomon mode changed to…………Commercial mode!"
Armyleomon's giant dome opened and he immediately extended his ramp.
"Jenn-"
"I know," I said brushing my hand against his cheek. "I love you too."
We drew each other into a light kiss, reluctantly we had to break it and he ran up Armyleomon's ramp.
"Good luck!" he yelled. "I know you won't let me down."
He jumped into the dome and in a second the ramp retracted and the dome shut. Once that was done Armyleomon got on his way and quickly took off into the air breaking into his maximum speed, it looked like he had simply disappeared. Of course he hadn't, he was just moving at an incredible speed.
I stopped looking into the air, and met the evil grin on Emily's face with a cold glare.
"You're not going to try and stop them?" I asked.
"I don't need to," she said. "Once I'm done with you Blackmagnadramon I will find him easier, besides he's going to bring the rest right to me. By letting him go he's sparing me a lot of work."
"So I guess it's you and me," I said. "A battle to the death."
She laughed. "I guess, I'm actually glad I wasn't able to grab your crest, at least I'll get one decent fight in before I destroy all of you."
"I don't know about you destroying us," I said. "But I can guarantee you a good fight."
"Good, I must say this is going to be one interesting fight. Blackmagnadramon attack."
Blackmagnadramon took a step forward, so did Eaglemon and the two Mega Digimon squared off, and thus the battle of Darkness Vs. Assistance began.
---------------
And thus ends Chapter 48, can you believe it only two more Chapters to go! This fic is continuing to draw to a close I can hardly believe it. Now that that's up I have to mention that I probably won't get the next Chapter up for a couple of weeks. First of all it's a really big Chapter, and a lot of important stuff happens in it so it's going to take a while to write. Second I won't have a lot of time to write, I have to work a lot this week so I won't have much time to write, aside from work I've also got to prepare for a trip to Edmonton I'm taking in a week, which brings me to another reason. I'll be in Edmonton next week and thus away from my computer so I won't be able to write at all that week. So I'd expect it up in about two and a half to three weeks. Still watch for it.
Stay tuned for Chapter 49: The Regrouping
