People say evil never sleeps. And it sure doesn't. Alara had found out that since she was inside Rouge's body and the Crimson Jewel he had stolen from Nina gave a reaction to Alara through Rouge's body and had found an ability that would probably change everything...

The next morning, Rouge remained missing. Kimber started to act as if she was in a trance and barely talked to anyone let alone show any expressions ever since she saw what Rouge had done the night before and was still thinking of where Rico had gone and what's happening to him.

"Come ON, Kimber! You've gotta eat at least a bite! If your brother sees you like that, either one of us are gonna get it." Ronfar said, sitting next to Kimber. She wasn't listening though.

'...How could Rouge ever do that...?' she thought. She hadn't eaten a bite since the night before.

Nina was trying to say something to all three of them mentally when a different voice answered her.

'Well, well, well... what do we have here? The digidestined who holds the Crimson Items.'

'Wha!? Who're you!?" Nina shot back. But then, how come the voice was so familiar...? The feminine voice laughed in an evil manner.

'We have met before. But, I couldn't speak to your minds back then.' Nina suddenly remembered.

'Alara! What the hell are you doing in my mind!?' a giggle answered her.

'I need what you have.' She said simply.

'Oh no you don't! I'm not giving you the Crimson Items!'

'Oh, yes you are. Perhaps you need persuasion?' A gunshot was heard and when Bee turned to see where it had come from, it had hit him square in the chest and forced him to stumble into Black. Nina was shocked. She looked up and saw someone familiar.

'What are you doing!? Or... you learned mind control!?' Nina screamed.

'Yes. I have gained the ability to control minds. And Rouge has been so co-operative with me. Give me the Crimson Items. I do not wish to hurt your digimon further but, if you give me those Items, I would leave them be.'

'No way! Bee, Black and Impy can take dare of Rouge!'

'Tsk, tsk, tsk. I wouldn't be too sure of that.' Then, something happened. Nina looked at herself. She was fine but, where was she? Alara was standing in front of her, not too far away and she looked pretty much solid.

'Where am I...?'

'Welcome to your own mind. I hope you have heard of 'brain- dead' before.' She said, almost sweetly.

'Wha!? You've gotta be kidding me!'

'Too bad, I'm not. Tri-thunder!!' she grabbed her guns at the sides of her belt and shot three thunder bullets, all aiming for Nina. Nina couldn't react but, three rays of light came down from nowhere and protects Nina, blocking Alara's attack at the same time. Nina cleared her vision and saw three blurry, yet familiar figures.

'Bee! Black! Impy! How'd you three get here!?' Nina cried, looking at the three, who were giving her their backs.

'Somehow, I guess.' Bee said, truthfully.

'Female or no female, you're still a villain.' Black said, cracking his knuckles. Alara smoothened her hair.

'Hmph. You can barely manage your spirit forms here. Let's see how you hold without concentration. Rouge! Get rid of them!' Alara yelled.

Meanwhile, Rouge was facing Bee, Black and Impy. He was in his dark mode still and a mocking smirk was on his face. Pointing his guns at both of them, he yelled,

"DIABOLICAL SOUL!!!" He shot, letting loose ghost-like figures and attacking all three. They tried to defend as best as they could but ended up nearly knocked out.

"Rouge, STOP THIS!! Don't you know us!? Don't you know ME!?" Impy said, pointing to himself.

"...I don't need to know you. Only YOU need to know me." Rouge said, shooting at Impy, letting him stumble into Bee. His tone was somewhat different from the Rouge they know.

"Rouge or no Rouge, let's get 'em!!" Guilmon yelled, charging at Rouge. The Mega turned around and kicked Guilmon skywards, hard. The dino landed with a sickening crunch where he had landed on some rocks and gets knocked out.

Back in Nina's mind, Nina was trapped in a ball filled with a strange liquid but didn't drown. She tried hacking at it with her sword but, it just bounced off.

'AAARRGGGHHH!!!! You bitch!!! How dare you do anything you please in MY mind!!!' Nina shrieked.

'I will do whatever I want.' Came the simple reply.

'Damn you...!!' Suddenly, her sword emitted a strange glow, so did the other jewel she had with her and another ominous glow came from Rouge.

As if she knows what to do, she hacks at the trap once more, this time actually breaking it.

'What!?' Alara cried, turning around and saw that her trap had backfired.

"Bee! Black! Impy!! The darned ghost is using the Crimson Jewel to control Rouge!!" Nina screamed through the mental link, finally the three get the message.

"Kimber! Alara's controlling Rouge!! Don't worry about a thing!" Bee said, before resuming to dodge Rouge's spontaneous attacks.

'What? Not Rouge's fault? ...' Kimber's mind went blank. Then, a small smile formed on her face and she thanked God that it wasn't Rouge who have done this. Alara had made him do it.

But, her joy didn't last long.

"DEVIL'S TRILL!!!!!" A burst of energy was released from Rouge, paralyzing them when Rouge's claws grew longer and sharper and since Bee and Black were the ones he was targeting, he charged at them and drove the cold steel of his claws in and through the two Megas.

'BEE! BLACK!!!!!' Nina shrieked in horror, seeing their bodies go limp and finally touch the ground, in front of Rouge.

'Finally. Two have gone, now more to come...' Nina had lost it. Without thinking further, she summoned power from the two jewels she has with her as two lights shot out and entered both Bee and Black's bodies. Soon enough, she saw two figures standing in front of her, and they were smiling at her.

'Beelzemon and BlackWarGreymon, spirit digivolve to, CHAOS LORD!!!!!' A dark figure appears, wearing a cape similar to that of Myotismon's , a mask which shows two brilliant green eyes and a black armor covering its body. A sword was sheathed at its side, a black, round shield that resembled that of Gallantmon's was at its arm.

'What... How...' Alara blurted out.

'No need to fool us. You are not Alara. Just her Dark Mode. Am I correct?' Chaos Lord said, cocking his head to one side.

'...Whoever you are, I shall get rid of you!!! DEMON'S TRILL!!!!!' An attack similar to that of Devil's Trill was released as a form, in the shape that resembled Daemon shot out, attacking Chaos Lord. He wasn't moved. He just grabbed his sword and swung it mightily at the dark figure, canceling the attack.

'That attack shall not harm me!! INFERNAL SWORD!!!!' With a wave of his sword, flames shot out, attacking and burning Alara's Dark Mode at once. She blocked the attack, though injured pretty badly and cursed under her breath.

'I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY THE LIKES OF YOU!!! DARK STAR!!!!' A black object shot out from her fingers, aiming at Chaos Lord. He simply used his shield and without difficulty, counter-attacked.

About 20 minutes later, Alara's Dark Mode was defeated. Chaos Lord had changed back into Beelzemon and BlackWarGreymon.

While Rouge, upon the defeat of Alara's Dark Mode, screamed in agony as pain shot through his body, especially his head. His sheer scream stopped as he fell onto the ground, fainted. Two rays of light came out of Nina's body and into Bee and Black's bodies as they stirred, staggering to stand up as if they had gone on a roller coaster 50 times.

"Oww... what a headache..." Bee muttered, leaning on a tree for support. Nina finally woke up and bolted upright. She threw her arms around the two revived digimon and when she was done congratulating them for being back to life, she turned to the unconscious Rouge and searched his pockets, finally finding the Crimson Jewel and putting it in HER pocket.

"I hope you feel better, Kimber." Nina said, turning around. The redhead had indeed gone back to normal. She smiled happily, tears of joy running down her cheeks as she went over to the fallen Beelzemon and laid him on her lap, running a hand through his hair when she noticed his scarf around her wrist.

"I'm so glad you're back to normal Rouge..." she whispered as she embraced the Mega lovingly.
