That night, everyone was asleep. Everyone, except for Beelzemon. He sat up straight from his hunched position on his bike and stood up. It was really dark and he could barely make anything out. He can't turn back into Impmon because if he does, his body would be ripped apart by Alara. He opened a side bag on his bike and pulled out something that looked like a laptop. He set it on the bike seat and tapped a few buttons. The monitor showed their current area and Beelzemon carefully counted how many steps it takes to dodge Nina's digimon and get to her without getting caught.

After he was done, he switched it off and put it back where it had come from. He took three steps forward and stopped. He looked at Kimber, sleeping peacefully with Sorcerimon by her side. He smiled at the sight and kneeled down next to the redhead. It wasn't quite a happy smile, more like a sad one. He untied the bandanna around his arm and tied it softly around Kimber's wrist.

'Sorry I can't do anything to help you get Rico back. Thanks, for everything.' Kimber made a whimper-like sound and turned around, facing him, still asleep. Stroking her hair gently, he stood up, turned around and stopped.

Renamon was lying there. He walked past Renamon and stopped suddenly when Guilmon's tail swished REALLY close to his foot. After getting past Guilmon, he jerked to a stop again as Kotemon was sleep-walking and probably dreaming about kendo practice. Kotemon did a heavy stroke and Beelzemon had to back-flip to avoid it.

Somehow, he managed to get through Kotemon. The last obstacles. Black, Bee and Impy. Impy was curled up into a ball near Black's feet, Black was leaning against a tree and Bee was putting his wings around Nina for security. Luckily all of them are fast asleep.

'Here goes nothing...' He slid his hand under Bee's wing and since Nina was lying sideways, facing Bee, it made it tougher for him to get her necklace. With a clawed finger, he cut the thread holding the necklace without touching either Nina or Bee and when it came off, he slowly pulled his hand out. In his hand was a blood red jewel. He didn't look too happy taking it and sighed inwardly.

'...One down, two to go...' he said, eyeing Nina's sword. He reached for it when he accidentally touched Bee's wing. Being a very light sleeper, Bee woke up instantly, standing up and as if reflex,(it was reflex...) he punched Beelzemon right in the gut, forcing him 3 steps back. Beelzemon swallowed a cry of pain as Bee kicked him in the side, letting him crash into a tree when Black woke up.

"What are you doing this late at night? Bakemon gave you a nightmare?" Bee said mockingly. He saw something inside Rouge's bomber jacket and pulled his gun out.

"Give it." He said, putting a hand out in a demanding gesture.

"Give what?" Beelzemon said, standing straight, though leaning against the tree.

"Play a bloody fool and I'll give you a bloody death for sure. I know you have something that belongs to Nina." Bee said, glaring daggers.

"...What would you do if..." Rouge trailed off.

"If what?"

"I do this?" Rouge took a quick step forward and kicked Bee's gun out of his hand. Bee tried to punch him but ended up getting his arm twisted behind him. Black kicked Rouge off of Bee with accuracy that made the demon land on the ground, hard. Bee and Black had exchanged a few mental statements when Rouge stood up and turned around. Black's head snapped up when he saw the changes in Rouge.

Blood red eyes, as red blood can get, a very powerful dark aura surrounding him and something in his bomber jacket was glowing.

By now, Impy had woken up too and his eyes went wider than a plate can (if that's possible) when he saw Rouge.

"This is bad..." Impy said as Rouge started advancing onto them.

"Very, very bad..." he added quietly as Rouge yelled,

"BLOODFEST!!" Dark, shadow-like creatures protruded from Rouge's hands and grabbed Black, Bee and Impy. His yell had woken everyone up and the sight before them was shocking.

"BEE!!! BLACK!! IMPY!!!" Nina screamed, seeing her digimon drained of their powers and were held about 4 feet above the ground.

"ROUGE!!!!" Kimber screamed when she saw where the creatures had come from. Her scream seemed to snap him back to reality where his eyes had turned back to green and the creatures had vanished. He looked at everyone with a startled expression and looked down at his hands. Horrified, he turned on his heel, wings spread and took off into the dark night sky. Upon his departure, Kimber covered her mouth with her hands, falling to her knees crying. Tosh went over to comfort her while Nina was helping all three of her digimon.

"Okay, which one of you is Bee?" Er... her BlackWarGreymon turns into BlackAgumon and Beelzemon turns into Impmon. Now, she has TWO Impmons! One of them raised a weak, gloved hand.

"Can you guys stand up?" All three shook their heads.

"Can you guys talk?" groans from three of them.(think Lurch from the Addam's family.) A mental statement from Bee gave her a slight shock as she felt for something around her neck.

"My necklace... It's gone!"

Meanwhile, at a high, steep area, Beelzemon landed. He sat down, exhausted and put his head in his hands. He couldn't believe what had happened. If Kimber hadn't stopped him, he would've ended up killing those three!

'Why didn't you take the other two jewels?' said a voice.

'I couldn't! Just having one of the three Crimson Items with me is enough to drive me insane! I don't know what will happen if I have all three. If I can't control myself with just one, how do you expect me to handle three!?' he snapped. She fell silent listening to him.

'Alara, if this happens to me, I don't want it to happen to you. Do you know what I mean?' he said, softening.

'...I do know what you mean. If Datamon is here right now, you could at least leave it with him. Do you think you can keep it with you long enough until you get Datamon out of Machinedramon's palace?' It was Beelzemon's turn to keep quiet.

'...Once we reach Machinedramon's palace, there's no turning back. We're running out of time ourselves. If I can't get the Crimson Items to Datamon in two weeks...' he trailed off.

'I know. You don't have to say it, Rouge. Because if you don't...' she railed off, leaving her sentence hanging.

'What is it?'

'If you don't...' this time, she couldn't finish her sentence when an ice lance buried itself in Beelzemon's arm. He cried out in pain and turned around. What he saw surprised him. An IceDevimon stood at the ledge across where he was standing.

"Did you really think I would let you go that easy after what had happened back in Suzaku City?" said an icy voice, arrogance present in its tone. Rouge winced in pain, trying to pull the cold lance that went through his arm but still couldn't. His arm felt numb and for some reason, he couldn't move it.

"IceDevimon...!! Thought you were blind!" Rouge said through gritted teeth. Having kicked on the elbow joint hurts bad enough, having an ice lance sticking out of the same arm just makes it worse. IceDevimon flew around Rouge before replying.

"I was blind and still am. Datamon wouldn't heal them. So, I decided to use bats as an advantage." Rouge was busy pulling the ice lance and only paid attention to half of what the devil had said.

"Ultrasound, huh...?" IceDevimon smirked, nodding.

"That's right. And I'm still on an assignment that I left hanging. That is; eliminating you once and for all! ICE WALL!!" IceDevimon held his hand in front of him when icy wind came out of him, whirling around Rouge and putting him in an ice cast. IceDevimon laughed coldly and landed in front of the frozen gunslinger.

"I never thought being blind would come to be my advantage." IceDevimon said, extending his long nails, ready to drive it into Rouge's chest when something glowed crimson and the ice cast shattered to a million pieces, the wave of energy bursting from Rouge forcing IceDevimon back.

A/N: Have you ever heard about someone blind being able to see clearly using his or her mind? I've seen that happen in a movie! This applies to IceDevimon! ^_^

The ice devil looked up, where the full moon was glowing and a dark silhouette with dark energy surrounding it spread it's black, angelic wings. Menacing, blood red eyes glared sharply at IceDevimon as it produced it's huge gun, created a star in front of it, facing IceDevimon and screamed,

"DARKSIDE ATTACK!!!!" He shot a ball of pure energy through the star, where the star amplified the energy, making it 3 times stronger, faster and a sickening scream filled the silent dark sky as the multiple shots hit IceDevimon all at once. Bits of data surrounded IceDevimon's assailant, as he absorbed it all, laughing in an evil manner.

Have the Crimson jewel taken over innocent Rouge or has it not? Let's see in chapter 18!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Rouge: Darkside Attack!? That's Megadramon's skill!

Well, that skill has a connection with your past, buddy.

Rouge: yeah... right...

Anywayz, I wanna upload this after Iniora finishes her part of 15 and 16! ^_^
