Chapter One

Descent into insanity, Chapter One

This is a story about a boy named Jack Harper, fifteen years old. Though you may think this boy is a digidestined since this story revolves around him, he is not but he does go into the digiworld. He has no digivice, or digimon to accompany him to what he will refer to in the future as pure hell. How is that possible you ask? He must have seen the digiworld in the sky and the battle with Apocalymon, therefore he must be a digidestined if the story revolves around him. No, he never saw that event, why? Just before that time, four years ago, he had just moved into his new home, during the five minutes before the digiworld appeared in the sky, he ran down into his new home's basement to get a few things put down there from the move-in. Just as he closed the door behind him, he locked himself in. He was unable to get out, during that whole time, even though he was yelling to his parents to let him out, they were too distracted to even notice that their eleven year old son is locked in the basement.

Jack spent most of the time going through old family albums and eating beef jerky and drinking water left there for the tornado shelter down there. He had no way to know what was going on, no radio, television or newspaper. So he could not know what was going on up in the world. Finally, when the whole scenario ended, his parents finally noticed their son was missing and rushed to the basement to let him out. While they were kissing, hugging and apologizing to their son, Jack broke free from their grasp and stormed to his new room with his belongings, angry at them for not knowing he was down there in the first place. He ignored what they tried to tell him about the Digital World and remained oblivious to what happened for the next four years. How does he get into the digiworld, you ask? Allow me to explain.

Oblivion, the place where dead angels, demons, souls, and digimon who died in the real or other worlds. here the three most evil demons in all history, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, were simply floating around as nothing more than shapeless consciousness. occasionally a door from oblivion would open to a random world allowing a few spirits to have a second chance at existence. Such an event happened when Apocalymon invaded and opened the door to the digiworld. Thinking this was the real world, the three prime evils rushed to it at full speed, their mistake caused their essences to shatter in the reconfiguration and twelve fragments rained down as digicores. Each digicore contains a small bit of their essence, memories, power, and attacks. The only way they can be fully resurrected is that if a mortal takes a digicore and places it in it's body through some means, then the demon would take possession in a few days and wander the Earth searching to complete his essence. This process would take many, many years to do, but there is a way to make the whole process go faster. There is only one way to speed up searching for the soul stone digicores, there is a mortal, most likely a human, who can sense demonic energies from great distances. A person like that would be a great asset to the prime evils should they begin to search for their long lost essences.

The first prime evil to be reborn was Diablo, the lord of terror, and the body he will possess, is the body of our beloved Veemon, digimon of Davis Motomiya. Veemon finds the first of Diablo's digicores, the last half of his memories from thousands of years ago, just before his defeat and banishment from hell. Mistaking it for a piece of fruit, he picks it up and swallows it whole, possession is due to take place soon. Days later Veemon has been having horrific dreams so terrible he blocks them out every time he wakes up, these dreams are relived memories of the demon Diablo, from his hay day in hell, along with that, the power coming from the digicore has allowed him to stay stable at rookie level, at that time, they could not find a reason why. Now, we fast forward to a small western style ghost town in the middle of the desert, a battle is taking place between a mind-controlled Starmon, and the digidestined crew, Raidramon, needing to digivolve to a better fighter, reverts back to Veemon, and armor digivolves to Flamedramon, a minute or two after this happens, Diablo begins to assert his control. Flamedramon stops and writhes in pain, providing a large amount of power from the digicore he ate, Flamedramon turns black, the flame design on his armor vanishes, and his eyes turn red, the demon is now in control. He turns to Starmon, who unleashes his attack, which shocks the digidestined by causing almost no harm to him. Diablo coldly walks over to Starmon and throws out a powered up fire rocket, equivalent to about one giga blaster missile, this destroys Starmon and about everything within a hundred foot radius, the digidestined and their digimon were miraculously unharmed. Their friend Flamedramon, was nowhere to be found.

Days later, Diablo was still searching for his lost pieces of his essence, he was constantly trying to remember his past but was unable to, this mad him extremely frustrated and angry, in his rage he nearly destroyed an entire herd of Monochromon, causing the surviving herd members to run off in fear. While he was walking along, desperately trying to figure out where the pieces of his essence is, he came across a lake, he felt an urge he never felt before, thirst. The thought of getting down to drink water like a common mortal disgusted him, but the thirst in him started to hurt and he had no choice, he looked around to see if anyone was around, when the coast was clear he bent down to drink. It was interesting to him, he now had to live like a mortal, he also had to eat, which would be something else that is new to him. When he was finished, his eye caught something in the water, a sparkle in the deep. He squinted and still couldn't figure out what it was, so he decided to go in the water and find out for himself, he jumped into the water and began to swim, he then started to suffocate which forced him back to the surface of the water, after taking huge gasps of air, he was feeling stripped of all his demonic invulnerabilties, and saddened by this, so for the first time he held his breath and went back down.

As he got closer he found that it was one of his digicores, he picked it up and just as he was about to head back up, a Megaseadramon knocked him out of the water with it's tail. When Diablo shook off this attack he found his digicore by the shore of the lake, he ran to get it but was knocked back again by Megaseadramon's lightning javelin. He fires several fire rockets at the beast but to no avail, most were dodged with ease, those that hit him were shrugged off with relative ease. He found his digicore still close to the shore, he aimed and fired at Megaseadramon's eyes, blinding it he grabbed his core and broke it into a few small pieces, making it easier to swallow, after he downed the pieces he went and dodged lightning bolts fired from the giant sea snake, and ran off into the forest. Soon after he began to get a very strange feeling, then a huge rush of power went into him. He was surrounded by an orange glow, he was digivolving.

Black Flamedramon, warp digivolve to.... His armor began to cover more of his body which doubled in size and turned into silver chrome digizoid. His armor claws turned into dramon destroyers which in turn grew sockets, along with his breastplate and helmet. the two digicores he had within him appeared on his dramon destroyers in the sockets. His helmet turned into a bone white, the metal blade dropped off and a socket grew in it's place along with horns, resembling that of a ram's on the sides of his head. On his back, a large blunt war hammer grew from the blade that fell from his head. the blue skin that was once blue turned black. Noxmon, the hammer of terror! Pleased at his transformation, Diablo decided to even the score with Megaseadramon.

He walked over to the shore of the lake with a grin on his face, and raised his hammer in the air and slammed it down on the ground, the earth shook violently, and this roused megaseadramon from the bottom of the lake. Diablo gave the angry digimon a defiant look and sheathed his hammer, he then extended the blades on his dramon destroyers and leapt up high toward the ultimate digimon and took a swipe, one devastating swipe at Megaseadramon. This felled the digimon to the opposite shore of the lake, Diablo looked at the digimon and said one thing before killing it.

Now, your lake belongs to me and soon, the entire Earth. He then pulled out his hammer and crushed Megaseadramon's head, causing him to scatter into many different bits of data. The ultimate digimon could not handle the newly digivolved armor mega.

Diablo walked on, still wondering where the rest of his essence could be found, he then remembered a conversation he had with his brother Mephisto thousands of years ago back in hell about the one who can sense demonic energies , though he could not remember the first half of the conversation, he understood the concept, and wondered if such a human existed in the world. He would have to find a means to retrieve him and force him into servitude to find his remaining essence and perhaps his brothers as well. But how would he be able to find this person? He would have to wait and see.

A week later Diablo was sitting on a hilltop with his thoughts when he witnessed the same children he saw just before he took his body, he watched as they went into a small box-like object and he was amazed, it then hit him, he possibly wasn't on Earth after all, but someplace else. He felt, fear, as he was afraid that his brothers were someplace else and he would not be able to find them, and frustration, that he might not be able to conquer the world of men. He ran up to the small box and picked it up, after observing it for a short time he pressed a few of the buttons and he saw something on the screen, though he didn't know what it was, you obviously know it's the digiport. Though closed, Diablo still didn't give up trying to figure it out. After a few hours of pressing buttons and other things of the sort, he finally opened the digiport and found the many locations on Earth that could be accessed. He then decided to look for the one, demons have some psychic ability, considering that they were ethereal beings. He probed with his mind all over the globe, searching for the one who can help him, and he found him, in the middle of Kansas, Diablo could barely sense him, but he knew he was the one.

At about this time, Jack was coming home from school, he got off the bus and went into his bedroom and hopped on the internet, it was the end of April and May was around the corner. One more month until summer vacation. At the same time, Diablo was desperately trying to figure out how to get him in here and after frantically pressing buttons, the digiport opened. Jack soon saw his computer flash with a huge brilliant light and before he knew it, he was in the same grassy plain as the demon that summoned him there. As he got up, he was overcome with fear and confusion, which escalated as he saw the silver clad digidemon standing over him.
