MaloMyotismon passed back and forth, in the large thrown room. A few Bakumon entered the room quietly.

"WELL?" He asked impatiently.

"I'm afraid we've looked everywhere, there not here in the digital world…." One started.

"FOOL! I know that! Tell me, have you found away into the dark ocean?" He roared. The Bakumon hesitated.

"Well yes……we sent all your force's like you asked, but…"

"They were deleted…." MaloMyotismon said thinking. "Of course they were. They had only been here a day, they were no real arm, they weren't ready…." He thought.

"I will have to go myself…" He said sitting down.

"But majesty, we have analyzed what was in that orb, its draining you power, in a few days…"

"Don't you think I know that!" He snapped. Just a few hours ago, his power was growing like mad, and now it seemed to be disappearing twice as fast. It had been as he had feared, when he saved Dawn from Daemon before, he remembered the look Daemon had given him. Daemon knew, he knew at that moment, who he was, and he knew his weakness even before he knew it. All Daemon had to do was wait, for his most vulnerable moment. MaloMyotismon felt like a fool, he had completely forgot about Daemon, now he was paying for it. Soon he would resume his normal powers, he would be at the same strength he had when he first became MaloMyotismon, and he knew although he hated to admit it that would not be enough.

"Bring me the children…." He hissed. His servant looked a little confused, but did as he said. He knew he was going to hate this.

"YOU IDDIOT!!!!!" Ken screamed, as Mimi and Kari held Ken and Tai back "It wasn't bad enough you kidnapped her, and forced her to marry you, you had to go ahead, and let that creep take her!!!! I'LL KILL YOU DANM IT!!!! LET ME AT HIM!!!!" Ken screamed.

"Let go, Kari! Your going to get it fang face!!!" Tai yelled.

"Guy's calm down, come to your sense's you can't hurt him!"

"SILENC!!!!!" MaloMyotismon boomed. The group shut up, and stared at the evil digimon. "Do you think I wanted this? I care for Dawn too…" He said frustrated.

"Ya well you have a funny way of showing it…." Tai glared.

"Never mind I shouldn't have called you, send them back I'll deal with this myself…" MaloMyotismon said turning his head.

"Wait!" Kari said. "I believe you…." She shouted. Everyone in the room gave her a look of shook. "I believe you care for Dawn, so do we, and if you want our help you have it." She said boldly. MaloMyoitsmon just stared.

"What makes you think I wanted your help…." He said dryly.

"Then why did you call us…." Kari said calling his bluff.

"Fine…….we must leave right away then, I will have you partners freed, but if you try anything….well lets just say I've located the rest of your group, all I have to do it say the word…." He said reaching out his claw and grabbing a Bakumon, in less then a second its data exploded, as disintegrated.

"Great…" Kari thought. But she knew although she really didn't believe MaloMyotismon was capable of feelings, they had to play his way to get Dawn back, and then they would deal with him once and for all.

Dawn opened her eyes, slowly. Still half asleep she called for the first person that came to her mind.

"Myotismon……" She called out.

"I'm afraid your husband, the soft pathetic fool, is not here." Dawn looked up, in front of her sat a figure that sent a chill down her back.

"Ah so you do remember me…." Daemon was smiling under his cloche. He loved the fear in her eyes. The vampire may have been stupid to fall in love especially with a young human, however he did have taste. She was very lovely, her pale skin and curly white hair, and blood red eyes. Very lovely, but the fear….that was the best, so small and weak, so easy to use and manipulate.

"Why have you brought me here?" She tried to sound brave but it came out as more of a whisper. "Myotismon will crush you if you…."

"SILANCE!!" He yelled, shutting her up. "At this very moment, the great vampire lord is growing weaker and weaker. Soon he will be at his original strength, we would be equal in power, however, if he sees I have you….well lets just say if he ever wants to see you again, he'll surrender his kingdom and any power he has left."

"And what if he doesn't" Dawn asked

"Well that's too bad for you my dear…I must await the arrival of Myotismon, I will summon you when I need you. Send the girl to the dungeon!" He ordered, Dawn recognized the tall black witch that grabbed her earlier. She tried to get away but LadyDevimon was too quick.

"I don't know what he sees in you child….but I know what I'll see when I'm done with you. Just between you and me, don't think that after your lover boy surrenders that everything will be happily ever after, in fact, I have been given an order to help cause a little accident…" She smiled evilly as she walked down towards the dungeon. Suddenly dawn was thrown into a cell.

"Yes an accident, your dear MaloMyotismon will come here and give everything to save you, he will then give up all his power, but knowing him, he'll try to do something stupid to get his power back and save you at the same time, when he does, I will make his attack hit you….he will kill you. Just imagine, the pain it will cause him, we don't have to kill him, he will spend his eternity suffering!" She laughed as she slammed the door.

No! Dawn thought as she fell under the darkness of the cell. She sat quietly for what seemed like hours, just thinking about things. About what almost happened last night, part of her wished it had, she wanted to be in Myotismons arms more then anything. In fact it wasn't just because she wanted be saved, she really wanted to be with Myotismon. She told herself that if she ever got out of here she would never try to hide what she felt for him ever again. No matter how much he scared her, or the things he might do, she just wanted to be with him, the thought of what they were going to do to him broke her heart. They were going to kill her, and make it look like it was his fault, and then….what about here friends, what would Daemon do to them.

She had to get out of there, and save her friends, and her husband. She smiled for a moment, she called him her husband, and she liked it. She reached into her hair, and pulled out a hair clip. She moved over to the door, and looked carefully to see if she was alone. No one, she reached around the bars and began to fiddle with the lock. This was going to take a while.

"Its so cold…..its been so long since I've been here…" Kari said softly. They were in a dark jungle, everything was black. The four children shivered. MaloMyotismon just smiled.

"It so good…." He purred. The group looked a little confused. "My power, is growing again, its slow but I can feel it coming back to me. Daemon didn't take into account I feed off the darkness, and this who place is nothing but…"

Great! Tai thought, Daemon does us all a favor and makes MaloMyotismon weak; even better, he gives us a chance to get ride of both MaloMyotismon, and himself. Then he brings the creep here, a place that's nothing but a power buffet for MaloMyotismon. We've got to find Dawn fast, and get out of here, before he gets stronger then he was before.

"Tai…" Augemon whispered. "Don't worry I'll keep an eye on him…" Tai smiled.

"Just pay attention to what's going on here too. Kari, you told me stories of this place but…." Tai started.

"But the stories fail in comparison to the real thing…" Mimi said finishing his sentence. "Be careful Palmon."

"I hate it here…" Ken said softly. "The only reason I came back was for Dawn, c'mon lets start looking for her."

"This way…" MaloMyotismon ordered.

"Now wait a minute!" Gatomon yelled. "Ken and Kari are the only one's who have been here before, why do you think you know where your going?" He glared down at his former servant. How he still hated her, her betrayal, her eyes…everything.

"Because I'm as big enough to see over these trees and I can see, what should be Daemons castle…." He hissed. With that he turned and stomped towards the castle.

"And what do you think your going to do? Your right, you are so tall, that they will see you soon enough, are you just going to walk into there trap?" Mimi said running after him.

"I'm going to save Dawn….Daemon already knows were here, why hide." He said determined to find his love.

"Great so we are just barging off with no plan…" Gatomon said annoyed. Just like him to put everyone a risk for something he wanted.

Dawn ran full throttle threw the beach and into the woods. She made it, as long as she stayed hidden she'd be fine.

"Daemon the girl has escaped…" LadyDevimon said, afraid of what he would do to her.

"I know my dear I know. The plan has changed. He brought four of those brats, the one of light, whom I know you hate, the young boy, and two of the originals. That one champion, two ultimate, one has the potential to go mega, MaloMyotismon and the destroyer of many virus digimon WarGreymon. Let the girl go to them, if the digimon have more children to protect it gives us an advance." He said.

"But what if they leave when the find her?" She asked.

"If I know MaloMyotismon, and I do, he'll make sure that I suffer for taking her. He is too suborn to go back, and make himself stronger before trying to delete me. He will pay for his mistakes, and what he did to me all those years ago….I have plans for him, he will suffer! But lets let him think he's won…"

The group walked through the woods. The trees had become higher and now MaloMyotismon could not see where he was leading them, although her refused to admit it.

"That's it lets split up…" Ken said frustrated.

"We are not splitting up…" The vampire hissed, he was now more frustrated then ever. The group started to ague, it was Wormmon who noticed.

"Um…guys…."

"Hang on Wormmon.." Ken said ignoring him

"But Ken…"

"WHAT?"

"Ken…" A soft voice whispered. As he turned around he felt the warm arms of his cousin.

"Dawn! You ok, I was so worried." Ken shouted. MaloMyotismon watched the group quietly, he watched Dawn great and hug everyone of her friends. Part of him longed for her to turn to him, to look at him. The other part dreaded it, he didn't want to see the sad look on her face when she saw him, and how ugly he was. Finally their eyes met, he felt himself get hot, with the fear of what she would do, or wouldn't do.

Suddenly before anything could happen there was a great quake in the group. The group was split apart in seconds as the Dark Ocean was separated into different sections.

"What was that?" Dawn whispered, she had been knocked out for a few hours, but remembered everything.

"They separated us….." MaloMyotismon whispered. Dawn stood up and whipped the dirt off her gown. She noticed it was now very dark, and the world was in floating peaces.

"Now what…" She asked looking out at the crumbled world.

"They're playing with us. Daemon is just toying with us, it will be a while before they attack, my sweet. And when they do, I'll protect you. Dawn turned around to see the large digimon sitting under the protection of a small cave. She walked over slowly, just looking at him.

He watched her carefully, a little nerves. Was she going to run from him, or yell at him. He wanted more then anything to touch her, to be close to her. To his surprise, Dawn pulled herself up into his lap. He moved himself back a little, leaning against the rocks. He felt his breath getting a little heavy. Dawn then motioned for him to lean down closer. He felt a toothy grin on his face, as he leaned in closer, feeling himself getting hotter. She reached up and stroked his cheek softly. His smile grew as he just enjoyed her touch, as he purred with happiness. They were both silent as she did this for a while, then she spoke.

"Does it come off?"

"What?" He asked a little confuse, and sad she was no longer stroking him. Dawn ran her fingers slowly over his armored chest. He smiled again.

"The armor does it come off?" He was shocked with what he was hearing, he told himself that he was just getting exited. He wrapped his arms around her pulling her close.

"If you want it to…" He said a little hopeful. She smiled and stood up on his leg and kissed him. She pulled herself into him, and it seemed like forever, but then she pulled away. He was speechless.

"My Hero….." She whispered playfully. He could describe how those two words made him feel. "I want you to take it off…." She said a little nervous. He was speechless. "I know a lot is happening, but…I just want to be with you….before it's to late. It's late and I'm tired, and I want to be yours tonight, my powerful king." She said inflating his ego, playfully. He leaned in and kissed her, as he directed her towards the latches of his armor. He felt himself ach as his powerful armor hit the ground with a thud. It surprised her a little that he had normal arms underneath those have things he wore. He pulled her against him tighter, wrapping his tale around her back pulling them even closer. With on hand he cleared away the dirt on the ground and using his powers, he laid her down on a warm blanket. With on wave, the darkness was lit up by three candles. She felt warm and happy, as the large digimon lay down on top of her, being careful not to put too much of his weight on her. He leaned in kissing her again, then suddenly stopped.

"But…..I'm ugly…" He said. Dawn smiled wrapping her arms around him as she whispered seductively, "Your big…strong….and sooo handsome." He voice changed, showing him how afraid she really was. "You'll be careful right?" He smiled at her.

"My pet….nothing has pleased me more, then how I feel right now." He pulled in close to her, she could feel him. He sighed as she brushed her foot against it.

"All you have tell me, and I'll stop…." He whispered, Dawn jumped a little as she felt him begin. She couldn't speck, as she felt so much of him within her. He lined in and kissed her.

"Just relax…" He smiled.
