Here's another part in the D-Slayer Chronicles.

Part 8: World Three's Time To Rock

Our story begins with us seeing Nightengalemon and the White Rider standing on the top of a building not far from where the D-Slayer was slain...Nightengalemon looks up at the White Rider and says, "I suppose you know what weapon was powerful enough to do him in?" The White Rider nods and whispers, "The Black Destiny...a sword forged in the heart of World Three's empire, said to strike terror in the souls of all who gazed upon it! But that was back when World Three was much stronger...I do know a few members who have defected over time. Maybe it's time I contacted them in response to this event!"

Meanwhile, at the World Three hideout...General L is kicking up his feet and getting what he would consider some well needed R & R. Suddenly Lieutenant H comes rushing in carrying a poster under his shoulder screaming: "GENERAL L! GENERAL L! YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS GENERAL L!!!"

General L responds, "What is it...some stupid card tournament?" Lieutenant H shakes his head and says, "EVANESCENCE is having a concert in Tokyo tomorrow night, I suppose we should prepare a welcome wagon for them?" Lieutenant H winks on the phrase 'welcome wagon'; General L lays back in his recliner and mumbles, "Make it so."

Meanwhile, nearly half of Takato's friends and classmates have secured tickets for the EVANESCENCE concert...upon this Takato finds a letter taped to his locker, he finds it was from Angel, it read:

Dear Takato,

If you are reading this it means that I have fallen in combat...and have played my first part in the prophecy, I give these to you now seeing as I will not be able to make it there myself. Find her and keep close...she's a traitor to them.

Regards,

Angel Brickowski

Takato looks in the envelope to find two backstage passes to the EVANESCENCE concert...but the question is...whom is he going to take?

On the night of the concert we see Takato and who else but Guilmon, they use the backstage passes to get in, Takato then sees the White Rider standing back against the wall. The White Rider raises his hand and says, "No need to say anything...I know why you're here, now let's proceed shall we?" They quickly make their way down the halls to one of the dressing rooms, The White Rider knocks and says, "Amy Lee...are you in there and if so, are you decent?" The voice of the singer for EVANESCENCE replies back, "Both yes, come in...I've been expecting you."

The White Rider and Takato both enter the room, Amy seems glad to see them...The White Rider says, "You do realize that World Three may now know you're here?" Amy replies, "Yes...indeed I do, but I'm not afraid...not anymore." Takato looks at both of them and asks, "Okay...is anyone going to tell me what's going on here?" The White Rider looks at him and says, "Miss Lee here is an ex-World Three member, she has been hunted by them since the day she defected. It is my duty to see that she gets out of this concert in one piece."

Later on just as the concert is to begin, the blast of an electric guitar comes out of the darkness around the stage...everyone thinks it's part of the show, but if the band hasn't started yet, where is that music coming from? The silence is then broken once again by another guitar, bass this time. The White Rider looks on from offstage and sees the terror in Amy's eyes...World Three is here! Suddenly General L's voice appears out of nowhere, it says: "Miss Lee, we finally meet...I guess there's no point in telling you that you can't run from your past. So here comes the PAIN!" The stage suddenly becomes bathed in red light, and slowly General L appears from behind the stage, Ravenmon right behind him. General L pulls out the Black Destiny and points the tip at Amy's throat cornered and horrified. General L raised the blade and whispers to her, "Ciao Miss Lee!" But before he can send the deathblow, Guilmon sends a Pyro Sphere at General L's left shoulder.

General L looks at Takato and Guilmon and smiles saying, "Mr. Matsuki...so nice to see you, I hope you brought a First Aid kit. Because your partner is going to need it!"

Takato digivolves his partner to Growlmon, General L takes a step back...but he doesn't even flinch, he looks at Ravenmon and says, "Ready to show this amatuer what real damage we can do?" revealing his D-Power, suddenly all the lights went out...and when they came back on, they saw that Ravenmon had digivolved to Champion level:

Name: Magnaravenmon

Level: Champion

Type: Virus

Attack/s: Shadow Screech & Wing of the Black Rider

Other Info.: This bigger, scarier, and more powerful form of Ravenmon is actually quite majestic...what ever you do, don't make eye contact...or you'll be hypnotized for sure!

Takato looked at the giant bird before...he couldn't move; all he could do was stare into that bird's yellow eyes. Suddenly the White Rider came running from behind him and threw his cloak over Takato's head, breaking the stare. Magnanightengalemon flew in and tried to take on the Black Winged Menace, but found battling this version of Ravenmon was like fighting himself.

Well to make this short within ten minutes both Growlmon and Magnanightengalemon were leveled, General L looked at both Takato and a rather furious looking White Rider. Smirking he said, "is this it...may I say Mr. Matsuki that I'm not impressed with your tactics...but this was only a preview of things to come, a darkness is falling on you and your friends...and soon Rika will join our ranks, for the pendant is working the venom of darkness into her heart. A storm of evil is coming...and there's nothing you two can do to stop it! Ciao for now."

And with that General L and Magnaravenmon disappeared into the night.

After the concert the White Rider met up with Amy again and said, "I know this is going to be a stupid question but...do you have any idea who General L is?" Amy shook her head and replied, "No...he obviously joined after I defected...but I'll tell you one thing, he's a good strategist that's a massive trait he has."

Suddenly we see the White Rider take off the linen mask hiding his face and we see, whom else but that weird kid with the green streaks in his hair from part 3. He finishes with saying, "And he's right a darkness is coming, my only prayer is that I haven't acted too late." Amy then says to him, "Trust me Ryan...you were right on cue."
