Yet again another part of the D-Slayer Chronicles...
Part 9: Rise of the Angel
Our story continues at Hypnos...Agent Raleigh is doing a scheduled systems check when she's receives an E-Mail that has no return URL, it reads:
Raleigh...meet me at this location at noon, if you're looking for an distinct marks so you can spot me...I'll be eating a box of chocolate covered cherries.
Raleigh reads the E-Mail carefully and follows its instructions...she winds up in front of a cyber cafe, she looks around inside and sees but who else, General L popping a chocolate covered cherry in his mouth. She walks over to him and asks, "Are you the one who sent me the E-Mail?" General L looks at his watch and says, "Twenty seconds late...but no excuse is necessary, sit down...I wish to talk with you about the group you work for." Raleigh gives him a look of 'I don't know what you're talking about?' General L continues, "Don't play dumb with me Raleigh...I know about Hypnos, we've been watching and countering your every move when you're at work. And I have an offer you might find interesting."
Raleigh sits down and listens to General L's rambling on about the war going on between The Gatekeepers and World Three, eventually he gets to the point of this meeting...having to do with some program her boss is setting up that could end the war prematurely. "And I want you to help us stop that from happening." He hands her a maroon colored A-Drive disc and says, "That disc has a program on it that will make your boss' program not act as an eraser, but as a portal...a doorway." General L stands up and as he's about to leave he looks back at her and says, "Oh, and Raleigh...don't backstab us, we have hackers all over the globe that could really find some dirt on you. So think twice before deciding to give us the cold shoulder."
Later that day, The White Rider is looking out at his surroundings...he sees the sunset and says to himself, "And so the prophecy begins...with Angel gone a cloud of darkness shall emerge with the malice of World Three...shutting out all light, but all shall not be lost for at the peak of darkness a light shall appear...and the D-Slayer shall return...that is, 'if' he returns?"
At that same time General L is watching that same sunset...he smiles and says, "Tonight we prove the prophecy false...and then a new order will rise upon the ashes of the Tamers defeat."
Well to speed things along Kyubimon defeats Harpymon (yes, it's that episode) and afterwards both her and Rika hear a clapping noise and who should be behind them but General L and his companions, General L smirks and says, "Rika...Kyubimon...finally back together as a team, and I know that somewhere back there are your friends Takato and Henry, as well as their partners too. But I am not here just to gloat but to destroy the Tamers once and for all." Suddenly Magnaravenmon appears out of nowhere and flies right over them, but soon he's joined by another bird as big as he is:
Name: Magnamagpiemon
Type: Virus
Level: Champion
Attack/s: Plume of Pain
Other Info.: Magpiemon's Champion form, his Plume of Pain releases a bunch of feathers that burn to the touch.
Growlmon and Gargomon race in to help Kyubimon and fend off the attackers, but soon another Champion form joins in:
Name: Shadowgreymon
Type: Virus
Level: Champion
Attack/s: Black Nova Flame
Well it's not easy to say but even with all the power modifications the Tamers try, World Three ends up kicking their butts, General L looks at the Tamers and says, "Don't you get it...don't you see, you can't beat us with skill alone...it takes something a lot deeper than that to defeat World Three, too bad you won't have the time to find out what that something is." A dark cloud forms over the battlefield, a cloud so immense in size and so thick it looked as if it could block out the light of the sun. General L pulled out The Black Destiny and walked over to Takato saying, "You'll be the first to go."
Just then Takato saw a white blur tackle General L, it was the White Rider. "To get to them...you'll have to go through me first." The White Rider snaps, General L looks at him and says: "That should be no challenge?" To say the least the fight lasted about ten minutes and ended with The White Rider breaking his leg. General L laughed with delight and said, "Did you honestly think you could beat me in this darkness? Nothing can pierce this cloud cover, not even the sun! And within this darkness I shall soon have a new recruit." He took one good look at Rika and saw that she was STILL wearing the pendant. Suddenly a there came a great blast of fog, another Bio-Emerge...and this one contained a human, well at least it looked human. Takato looked at the mysterious form and thought it looked somewhat familiar.
The form said, "From the grave I have risen again to smite down evil at its moment of triumph, I am the messenger of both worlds and have come to right what you General L have so wronged." General L looked at the cloud covered mystery and then at his troops, he shouted, "Well don't just stand there, take care of him...no one interrupts me during my moment of evil gloating!" At that all of them attacked the stranger, the stranger removed his trench coat to reveal to shining silver wings, the shine was so bright it nearly blinded General L. The General could only watch as his forces were so to say 'smacked down'. General L then came charging at the stranger with The Black Destiny in hand, the stranger dodged the main force of the attack, grabbed General L by the collar of his trench coat, and threw him against a tree. Clutching his chest, General L looked at his men and said, "Fall back, Fall back...we've lost this battle!"
After that the fog and the dark clouds cleared to reveal a star lit night, the stranger walked over to his trench coat and slipped it back on. Takato ran over and said, "Thanks for your help...Um...UM...who are you?" The stranger paused and replied, "You already know who I am Takato, or do you need a reminder?" The stranger turned around.
Takato stared in shock, rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming...which he wasn't for standing right in front of him was Angel. Angel walked over to Rika and said, "Rika I'm back...just as I promised, can I see that pendant for a moment?" Angel removed the pendant from Rika's neck, she said: "Wait, I couldn't get that thing off, how did you?" Angel smiled and replied, "The Pendant of Nalador has a special lock that only a Dark General or a D-Slayer can undo...a few more hours and you would've joined World Three under its power." Angel looked up at the sky and said, "Now if you excuse me...It's getting late and I have an uncle to get home to, Ciao for now."
Now isn't that just lovely, Angel returns...World Three's plan is ruined, but don't think this is the end...World Three still has some tricks up their sleeve.
