Chapter Eight

Descent into Insanity, Chapter Eight

Jack watched the numerous computer programs Izzy had on everything about Digimon and the Digital World. He learned about his adventures four years ago with Tai, Sora, Matt, TK, Mimi, Kari, and Joe. He was also told of the current digidestined's exploits, defeating the Digimon Kaiser, who was Ken, and the demolition of Arukenimon's control spires, which she used to make fake digimon, and BlackWarGreymon. When shown a picture of him, Jack's eyes widened, he then said that Diablo fought this shady character and won. Izzy was surprised that BlackWarGreymon could be beaten, and asked Jack if he could summarize the battle. Izzy concluded that Diablo warped Veemon into dark digivolving into a mega digimon that he is now.

Mega digimon? Jack asked.

Oh, we haven't gotten to that program yet, I'll load it now. This one's on how digimon digivolve, the levels of digimon power, and the types of digivolving. Izzy explained.

Jack listened to Izzy explain normal digivolving,which allows a digimon to go from level to level, one by one, warp digivolving, which skips levels, armor digivolving, which requires ancient digimon and digieggs, and DNA digivolving, where two digimon fuse together. He then told him of the stages of digimon power, fresh,where a digimon has just hatched from a digiegg, in-training, like the normal stage where the digidestined digimon are now, rookie, the normal level where the digimon are in the Digiworld, champion, which requires just a digivice, ultimate, which requires a crest, except for DNA digivolving, and mega, which requires a boost in power before it could be achieved. Jack finally got the information he needed on where he was, and returned to the Inoue residence to retire for the day, to collect and organize his thoughts.

The next morning, he got up and went to the restroom to wash up. He went back to the guest room and just when he sat back down on the bed, Yolei burst through and tells Jack that he should get dressed and come with her to Izzy's. Confused on what was happening, Jack get dressed and follows Yolei to Izzy's and asks what is going on.

The digiports are opening all over the world! Izzy says.

If you have seen the first episode of the digimon world tour, you'll know exactly what's happening, digiports have opened all over the planet allowing digimon to enter the real world. A few minutes later, Gennai, who is now young, pops in through Izzy's computer. Because of his appearance, Jack makes this comment,

Oh my gosh, it's Obi-Wan Kenobi back for revenge!

After having a good laugh, Gennai regains himself and says, No, I'm not Obi-wan, I'm Gennai, have you heard of me?

I can't say that I have. Izzy? Jack said looking in Izzy's direction.

Oh, that's Gennai, he's a friend of ours. I forgot to tell him about you, he e-mailed me last night telling me that he would be coming. Izzy said. Gennai, this is Jack, he's not a digidestined, but he somehow was dragged into the Digital world by a demon possessing Veemon, his name is...

Diablo, yes Azulongmon told me, and i know about Jack here. No doubt you've seen that the digiports have opened all over the globe, control spires have also appeared here and in various spots on Earth. Gennai explained.

If you've seen the first part of the world tour, you'll know that Gennai will explain that several spots have been set up in Europe, Asia, Austrailia, and North America, more specifically, these six spots would be Paris, Mexico City, New York, Hong Kong, a city in Russia (I can't remember the name, either Moscow or St. Petersburg), and Sydney. First off they'll have to deal with the control spires in Japan, considering that they're active, only armor digimon can be used, they'll also have to deal with the Triceramon that warped in and Arukenimon and Mummymon. Now, since Veemon is still possessed by Diablo, there can be no Paildramon and thus, no Imperialdramon, they're screwed then aren't they? Not exactly, in my rendition of this tale, the armor digimon manage to destroy the control spires in all the places around Japan except Tamachi, how did they get there, well, because of Azulongmon's digicore, the original digidestined digimon can go back to ultimate and they were simply ferried by the flyers, then the armor digmon would move in and crush the spires. But when they got to Tamachi, the three digimon already mentioned above provide considerable resistance for just armor digimon, the ultimates can't get any closer without de-digivolving so they were stuck. An idea hits one of the digidestined, I would guess T.K, he tells the others to lure Triceramon into charging into the control spire, causing it to topple. The ultimates then move in, causing Arukenimon and Mummymon to retreat. Now, we are in the scene where the digidestined leave to save the planet. Since the D-3's are needed to open digital gates, Davis goes along on this journey.

How are we going to get all around the world? Davis asks.

We can use the digiports, but that's going to take a very long time. Kari mentions, But there seems to be no other way.

You're right Kari, too bad we can't take Jack home. Tai says Sorry, but there just doesn't seem to be enough time.

I guess, its okay, after all, its not every day that you get to stay in another country. Jack says, shrugging his shoulders.

The kids went back to Izzy's house, where his mother bid him farewell, the kids went through the digiport on a two day trip to save the planet, obviously. Jack returns to the Inoue residence to inform Yolei's family that she won't be back for a while. She had failed to give him a good excuse so he said that she never said where she was going, that she would be gone for a few days at the most. Of course her parents were a bit frightened considering they had no clue where their daughter was, but he calmed them down by telling them she was with friends. He returned to the guest room and laid down to reflect the days events.

Back in the Digiworld, while the digidestined were filing through digiports to various parts of the real world, Diablo was looking for a way to get to the world of men. After days of strolling through the barren wasteland, which had just now gotten most of it's oxygen back, he pops out from the abrupt border between ashes, and life. He was slightly disappointed that the fire didn't go further, but he knew that all good things must come to an end eventually. As he was wandering, he noticed something out on the horizon, his curiosity pushed him to investigate. After an hour of walking cautiously to avoid possible attack, he finds a medieval style castle. Intrigued by this, he walks up to one of the walls and jumps up and latches on with his dramon destroyers. As he climbs up, he begins to overhear a conversation taking place within the walls. He nears a rather large window, he barely peeks his head over the edge and sees a huge, open throne and two digimon, one is dressed in a red cloak and has large purple wings, you know him as Demon, he is speaking to a smaller digimon, he carries two orbs with him, and seems imp like and slightly demented, you know him as Impmon.

Impmon, before the four of us travel to Japan in an effort to retrieve the dark seed, I require you to go to the real world and seek out a young lad, he's not a digidestined, but I believe he has information that is quite useful to me. I have seen him with a silver clad digimon, I know that he is no longer with him, because he resides with one of the digidestined. I once you find him, I want you to keep tabs on him until I find you, then you're dismissed from this mission. I will open the digital gate now. Demon explains and raises his hands upward, the space above him seems to rip as a portal to the real world is opened

Diablo is astonished as to how Demon is able to do this, he knew he might be able to do this, but the only prime evil to have the correct knowledge on how to do that is Mephisto. Being the oldest prime evil at nine thousand years, Mephisto has gained almost unimaginable amounts of knowledge over the millennia, his resurrection is absolutely vital if Diablo wishes to complete his centuries old dream of opening the gates of hell on earth and bringing Armageddon to mankind. The portal reveals a a park like setting, early in the morning, Impmon jumps through and soon the gate closes. Demon turns to a nearby pedestal which has Baal's digicore, he looks at it, then picks it up and says to himself,

If only there was some way to unlock this digicore's power, I wouldn't even need the dark seed. But how, I'm obsessed with it now. Where did it come from? Who owned it? And again, how do I unlock it's power?!

Diablo realizes what the yellow orb is and jumps through the window to hopefully obtain the digicore. Demon sees the familiar digimon and greets him,

Well, I never thought I'd see you, your name is...Diablo I take it?

Yes, and I believe you have something of my brother's, if you would be so kind as to give it to me now? Diablo calmly demands the digicore. Demon's calm demeanor turns to an insulted look.

You dare to demand from Demon? Hah! Why should I give this to you?

Because if you don't I'll assure your eternal damnation in hell. Now give me the stone! I am losing my patience, and you do not want to anger the Lord of Terror. Diablo says angrily, his eyes glow brightly as he builds his power, the room heats up as this is happening.

Hell? You're digimon, you come from the digital world, how can you assure damnation in hell when you've probably never been there. You were born from a digiegg, centuries ago it seems considering you're a mega. How can make such promises? Demon says, thinking that this digimon is delusional. He only noticed Diablo when Jack came into the digital world, he never saw Veemon ingest the digicore nor evolve to Noxmon, his current digimon form.

Ah, you take me for being much younger than I actually am, I was born in Hell six thousand years ago. I am the living embodiment of Terror itself. I was banished into oblivion fifteen hundred years ago, then ventured here from an opening in that cursed place, I was split into pieces, and then took possession of a creature by the name of Veemon, my power grew when I took more pieces of my essence back, they are represented by these orbs on myself. My brother's essence resides in that orb you hold, he only has two of them on his being, he only has a portion of his memories and cannot remember me, his younger brother, his own flesh and blood! I need that to end this pain his amnesia caused me, now no more hesitation, give me the orb now! Diablo says impatiently.

Ho ho, I like to see suffering, especially in these kinds of situations, I'll just keep the orb, and venture to the real world, to complete a mission i have set for myself. Then, maybe I'll deal with you. Goodbye Diablo, I pray your journey is unsuccessful so that I might see a mighty demon weep. Demon says in a cocky fashion while opening a digital gate behind him, he floats backwards into it. Before it closes, Diablo loses it and quickly jumps through and ends up in the water near Tokyo, apparently the gate put him in a random area of Japan. The heat generated from his rage caused the water to boil upon his landing, red electricity streaked across the surface before he came up.

Interesting, it has been thousands of years since i have been in the world of men. Hard to imagine how much man has advanced over the centuries. Diablo said to himself as he entered a sewage pipe. I shall wait here, when that infidel appears I shall have my vengeance.

Now at this time the world tour is half over, Diablo will wait patiently for Demon to show his face so that he may get what is rightfully Baal's. Impmon searches for Jack and starts from a list of digidestined and their addresses, he also has a picture of Jack so that he may identify him on sight. The night before he went on this mission he watched three horror movies and got some ideas for messing with people's minds from those. This of course, as described by my last wrap up is the little pest that will drive him almost over the brink. Sorry, I couldn't bring this to you last chapter, but I felt this was necessary.
