Here's Part 7 in the D-Slayer Chronicles...and isn't it an emotional part.

Part 7: When Angel Falls

Our Story continues yet again at the 'World Three' hideout, we see General L sitting in a recliner chair in deep thought, "How...How are they capable of Digivolving? The Light must be close but where is it? I think it's time I set my tactics up one level." he get up from the recliner and walks over to a small wooden jewel box, he opens it and starts searching through it...finally he says, "Just what I was looking for...now who will I give it to?"

Later on Rika is just finishing another day of school when Mike appears out of nowhere again, she backs up a bit out of shock of Mike's appearing act...but then regains her poise, Mike looks at her then says, "Oh yeah the appearing thing...sorry I forgot that you're not used to it, you want to know something...I was walking through the market area and passed by a jewelry store, then I saw this in the window on the shop and thought about you...here you go." Mike hands her a small maroon box, Rika opens it to find a pendant made of black stone with a orange symbol on it. She slips it on and suddenly feels a cold rush come over her, Mike just stares on...obviously waiting for a response. "It's thoughtful Mike, thanks." she replies.

"I'm glad you like it...well, see you tomorrow I suppose." Mike says. Just as Rika leaves the school who should be gazing upon her but the General L, a Bio-Emerge cloud appears behind him. Without looking back he says, "I did my part...so now it's your turn. Remember the rendezvous, I'll be waiting there."

Meanwhile the D-Slayer is resting up in a tree, just looking at the shades of green dancing above his head. "What an easy task this has been so far...but why do I get the feeling that my luck is about to run out?" Suddenly he sees Rika passing under the tree, he suddenly comes out from his hiding spot and says, "Well...didn't expect you to be walking around these parts...what's wrong, you look as if you've seen a ghost?" Rika looks at him then says, "Well, I feel as if something is following me, there you satisfied now!"

The D-Slayer backs off and says; "Okay...don't become so temperamental...I just asked because you may need my help?" Rika gives him a sharp look and walks off, The D-Slayer then thinks to himself, "Geez...what crawled up her bum and died?"

Later on Angel is walking back home, he seems rather peeved about something...but what? It's right when he reaches a crosswalk that he feels a chill of some sort...immediately some grabs him and pulls him into a world of darkness.

Angel looks around, he can't see anything but it's like he's inside a freezer...just then he hears the sound of laughter coming from behind him, he turns around and sees who else...none other than General L, Angel back flips into a fighter stance. General L looks at him and says, "Oh come now Angel Brickowski...or should I say D-Slayer?" Angel looked in pure shock and asked, "How do you know my secret?" General L smirks and says, "The limp in your leg...Dokukumon I'll suppose, it was a dead give away. So now here's my deal with you...you leave this place never to return, and I'll let the Tamers live." Angel scowled and said, "I don't make deals with terrorists!"

General L sighed and said, "I knew you were going to say that...so here's my bargaining chip, Icedevimon...bring her forward." Angel watched as Icedevimon held within his grasp a rather sullen looking Rika, Angel looked up at General L and said, "So this is how you play your game...when you can't win you resort to taking hostages, let her go she doesn't have to become a part of this? You know that it's me you want...well here I am, you may not look any farther."

General L just laughed and said, "You think this is just about you...Icedevimon was looking for a good Tamer to which he could learn from...I told him of Rika and he was delighted to know of this, and once I get rid of you the prophecy shall fail!" Angel looked absolutely furious, but then smirked and said, "I think you forgot one important detail, Rika already has a partner, Renamon...and as you know a Tamer can only possess one partner." General L replied, "She will not race to her rescue, for Rika have told her partner off...with a little help from me. Look at what lays around her neck if you don't believe me."

Angel looked at Rika then say the black pendant, in an angry tone of voice he mumbled, "The Pendant of Nalador...but I thought that they were all destroyed?" General L laughed at Angel's disbelief and said, "Not all of them met a bad end...I managed to save one, and speaking of fables...get a load of this!" Just then General L pulled out a sword from his trench coat, Angel stared at it as if all the fairytales he had ever heard of were coming to life, he mumbled to himself: "The Black Destiny!"

Just then Takato and Henry appeared (with partners at side of course). Angel saw them and said, "GUYS, GET OUT OF HERE!" General L saw them to and immediately called Ravenmon to his side, Angel decided he couldn't take it anymore...it was time to let the cat out of the bag. He pulled out his blue and gray D-Power and in a tremendous shout of voice said, "D-POWER: SLAYER FORM!!!" and in that instant Angel became that which General L had been waiting for, Angel to become the D-Slayer. Angel ran to Takato and Henry's side.

"Angel...you're the D-Slayer?" Takato asked, Angel nodded and said, "Okay guys, here's the plan...you two take on Icedevimon. General L is mine!" Takato and Henry nodded and immediately began their attack; Angel walked towards General L and bowed to him before drawing his weapon. General L gave Angel a puzzled look and said, "Now what is that for?"

"A Digital Slayer is much like a Samurai, he's shows respect to his opponent before doing battle." Angel explained. General L looked at Ravenmon and said, "Sit this one out pal...I'll battle him myself." General L came charging at Angel with his blade in hand...Angel countered, and to make this story seem shorter both General L and Angel kept countering each others blows (as well as some aerial acrobatics) when suddenly Angel fell to one knee, he was exhausted...suddenly time seemed to freeze around him and General L.

General L looked at Angel and said, "You know Angel...I'm glad I finally got to face you. But now I'm afraid I have to finish this." General L ran his palm across the edge of the blade; it instantly lit up with a purple flame. The General continued, "Don't worry Angel I'm pretty sure the Tamers will do fine without you...yet again it could turn into a massacre without you...but before you go, remember my face!" General L then removed his sunglasses; Angel stared in horror at General L. Then he shouted out "FINAL CONQUEST!" that released the purple flame from General L's sword. It struck Angel head on, and with that time started up again. Guilmon had just defeated Icedevimon when the Tamers heard Angel scream.

Rika ran over to Angels' side, she looked upon him with all sadness and kindness in her heart. Angel said to her, "Rika...do not cry for me, I am dying...but not yet through here...I shall return, I have to leave to recuperate from the damage the Black Destiny has done to me. I will return...but only if you want me to?" Just then there came from Angel a great flash of light, and in his place laid a small circular device that seemed to beep every ten seconds or so.

Rika picked up the device and well...you should have good idea on how this part ends guessing what episode it's based on.
