Pyle: This story is really taking quite a dismal turn. I had no idea it would become this dark.
Tiumi: Yeah, I know.
Me: Takato is going way overboard, and its all thanks to YOU!
Pyle: For once, that idiot is right. I am the author.
Tiumi: What goes around, comes around.
Pyle: I can't think of anything else to type, so we'll just start the dismal fic.

D-reaper. He hated the sound, he hated the name, he hated everything about it. All of this hate built up inside Takato, until it was suddenly surged in an uncontrollable outburst. Takato held his hands to his head and gave a horrible scream. "ERRAGGHHH!!!!"
It was strange, as though a mystical red fireball had flashed through him. His eyes were a deep red, fire burning within them. Guilmon rushed to the safety of his master. "Takatomon, what's wrong?" he cried.
Kazu, Kenta, and Rika backed away from him, afraid. Afraid. Takato turned towards them. His own friends were afraid of him. Behind him, Wargrowlmon gave a thunderous roar, smashing his claws down onto the cement.
Craters rocked the area around them. Rika turned to run but was knocked to the ground as a tremor smashed through. Kazu and Kenta were screaming and running in circles. "Chumly, what are you doing!!!" shouted Kazu. "We're your stupid friends!"
"I don't care!!" Takato shouted, giving another cry. The rocks around him suddenly disappeared in a sphere shape, as though a perfect circle had been carved in it. Takato rose up through the air, a black energy rising from inside of him. "JERI!" was his final scream. A moment later, Guilmon flew straight up into the air and clashed into Takato. They dimly heard the words 'Biomerge..." come from inside the sphere.
They both massed together like osmosis, turning into a single sphere. One long black wing shot out, curling around the sphere. Dark feathers flapped off of it, floating softly to the ground. A second wing sprouted. It was made of black feathers also, but what it was connected to was what shocked them. Curled inside the black wings was what one might call a black night.
It's helm was a single visor that wrapped all the way around its head. Black cords seemed to trail out of it, leaving a set of tubes curling down its back. The shoulders were huge, with sharp plates coming off of them like broken glass. The end of the arm was a long blade, not an arm of any kind but a single sword that was much sharper then it looked.
The second arm ended in a trail of long tubes and fingers. It dragged across the floor like nails on concrete, and one could dimly make out missiles on its arm. The legs were simply a shapeless mass with no description. It slouched across the concrete like a puppet without strings that had been in an attic to long. "Bileomon!" it shouted, bringing it's hands up as though held by thread.
The black wings flapped, and it went soaring forward, holding out a claw to grab Rika. Renamon leaped upwards and a mass of white light surrounded her. Kyubimon leaped to the ground and grabbed Rika just as the claw slammed to the ground where she had once been. "Is that...Takato?" Rika asked, looking at the beastly form. "No, it can't be" said Renamon, standing her ground and looking at the hideous creature.
"Guardian Barrage!" shouted Gardromon. His attack proved quite useless against the creature, as it simply leaped out of the way. Bileomon held his left arm up and a missile slid into it's hand. "Seeker Missile!"
Bileomon held his arm back as though he was to throw a stone, then hurled it to the digimon. Dodging was out of the question. It slammed right into Gardromon, sending him flying into a wall that collapsed on top of him. Kazu and Kenta were blown backwards by the shockwave, while Marineagemon simply hid in Kenta's pocket.

Kyubimon raised her tails, and blue fire began to glow on them. "Foxtail Inferno!" she shouted, throwing the flames forward. They slammed against Bileomon with furious strength, blasting him backwards until he fell to one knee. Bileomon actually looked weakened for a moment, but then he stepped back up and raised his right arm. "Arch Saber!" shouted Bileomon.
His arm began to waver and slow movement. Dark energy swirled around it for a moment, then it shot outwards at a speed so fast it was a blur. With a sickening thud, the blade pierced through Kyubimon's upper shoulders, instantly turning her to Renamon. She gave a loud cry, then collapsed. Rika looked up at Bileomon in fear.
Bilemon stumbled forward as though his puppet master had tangled the strings. The blade and tubes near him dragged across the ground with a horrible scratching sound. He stopped when he was about five feet from Rika, staring down at her with his huge visor.
Rika looked frighteningly up into the mask. There was nothing inside, just an empty black feeling. A black feeling of nothingness. Bileomon stepped towards her in that horrible slouching way, as though his joints were cracking. The left arm, full of cords and wicked spikes, lunged outwards at Rika.
Rika dived out of the way, but one of the tubes stretched out. She was certain it would not reach her, but it seemed to grow before her very eyes, stretching outwards until it struck her a glancing blow to the side. Blood flushed out of her back staining the white of her shirt and hurling her to the ground. Rika simply looked up at the black form that bent over here.
The visor seemed to be glancing at her with a peculiar expression. Everyone waited to see what would happen, even Rika who was anticipating her death. Her purple eyes simply looked up into the black visor with curiosity. She could see eyes in the helmet. Takato's eyes.
Rika's hair fell over her eyes, covering her face from Bileomon's view. She would feel death very soon.
Bileomon leaned down with his tubes, wrapping them around her limp form. She was lifted up very slowly, like a force was holding back Bileomon. The visor still peered at her...with Takato's eyes inside.
The blade rose from Bileomon's side, and he leaned up to press it against her neck. Rika gave a choked gasp, waiting for the pain. But there was none. In fact, she was even on the ground, and Bileomon was facing away.
Takato's voice came from inside. A scream. "AAUUGGHHH!" A horrible scream of pain.
Bileomon rushed forward and slammed his great sword onto a large chunk of rock, slicing it in two. He continued beating the rock, smashing it over and over again until it had been shredded apart into pebbles. Bileomon gave another cry, then a white glow encased him, shrinking him down. The glow disappeared, and a familiar figure appeared.
Takato was on his hands and knees, sobbing. Tears dripped off of his chin, staining the dust and pebbles below. His eyes were clenched tightly closed. Slowly his eyes opened, tears still coming from them. Wiping a cold arm across his face to dry his tears, Takato rose up. "I'm sorry...Rika...I'm so sorry!" said Takato, breaking into another fit of tears.
"I need Jeri here! I have to have her!" Takato shouted, not noticing the sad looking Guilmon come to his side. "Please you guys, help me get Jeri back!"! said Takato, ending his plea in a whisper.
Kazu shoved a plate of concrete off of his digimon, then gestured to Kenta. "Chumly, we want Jeri back just as much as you. Get a hold of yourself!" said Kazu.
"What he's trying to say is that...we want to help you Takato. You have to learn to control your anger and help us to!" said Kenta.
Rika, holding her side with obvious pain, walked over to Renamon. "You'll have to wait Takato. After what's happened, none of us are in any shape to go rescue Jeri"
Takato was silent. Tears still streamed down his cheeks, leaving lines of salty water. He wiped his face again with his arm, then began sprinting forward. "I can't wait any more! I have to save Jeri!" cried Takato
"Wait a minute Tah-kato!" shouted Kazu, tackling him to the ground. "After what you've done, we can't go rescue her! Look at the shape we're in!"
Guilmon trotted up, very confused. "Mmmmm...." Guilmon whined. The red dinosaur bent his head down and blinked at Takato's face. "Please...don't be sad" murmured Guilmon, pawing at Takato's hair. Takato looked up into Guilmon's huge eyes. Then he leaned up and hugged him.
"What am I gonna do Guilmon?" he sobbed, his tears dripping onto Guilmon. "It's all my fault that everyone is like this! Why is it that everything I do for Jeri always goes so wrong?" he sobbed, hugging Guilmon close. "I can't do anything right! I always mess up everything I try to do for the team! Why does life have to be like this? Jeri is in the D-reaper suffering to death right now, and I can't do a thing about it!"
Right next to his shin, a small red trickle began to appear at a crack in the cement.

Tiumi: Are you looking for a smack to?
