Darkwizardmon

(A/N: I don't own Digimon. However I did come up with Darkwizardmon and Vampmon. Someone else might have used the idea but I don't think I've stolen them from anyone. If I have, sorry. Angelique is mine, I do own her. Anyway, I'm through goofing around with a disclaimer.)

Myotismon surveyed his new home with a cautious eye. He was well pleased with his base. The large room had once been the operational hub for a subway station that was no longer operational. However the tunnels were still mostly open and near the subway system that was currently in use. The many tunnels would give him and his lackeys a doorway to any place in the city, while still providing him shelter from the sun.

He licked his lips in anticipation of the destruction they would bring. But before he started on the humans he would hunt down Piedmon and punish him for stealing his portal.

If not for a lucky break which had revealed a tiny crack in the wall created by Blackwargreymon's body he would not have been able to come to the real world at all. Both the location of his new base, and the discovery of the crack in the wall were thanks to his female companion, but he took credit for both, only the two of them knew the difference, and since she did not complain about it there was no need to worry about the situation changing.

However the opening in the gate was very small, and only one or two creatures could slip through it at a time. During the previous night he had only been able to get five of his soldiers through the gate. He would have to find his portal and open it if he wished to attack on a mass scale.

"Hey, Boss, someone's coming!" warned the Bakemon on sentry duty.

"It's just me," answered a voice from the shadows. Myotismon regarded Darkwizardmon as he stepped into his field of vision. "I'm not inhibited by daylight so I went ahead and came through the gate."

"What if someone had seen you?" demanded Myotismon. "Who asked you to take the initiative?"

"Actually, lots of people saw me," rejoined Darkwizardmon, his eyes glowing violet beneath his wide-brimmed hat. "The world has changed since you were last here. I just made sure to keep near a group of kids, and everybody assumed I must belong to one of them."

It was a clever ruse, but Myotismon would not admit that.

"Still, no more unauthorized gate use, understand? We don't want the digidestined to discover that the gate is not completely sealed."

"As you command. Since I am here what do you wish me to do?"

Myotismon thought for a moment and then grinned maliciously, "I want you to make our first contact with the digidestined. Frighten them a little, make them worry. Take Rockmon with you. Here's the plan.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Angelique looked in the mirror and tilted her head, examining the wide brimmed hat that now rested there. The price tag dropped down and dangled in front of her eyes.

"I don't know, I really don't do hats."

"But it looks so lovely on you," Yolie tried to convince her.

Angelique replaced the hat on the rack and turned to face the girls who were watching her.

"I'm really not into hats, sorry."

"Well, what are you into?" demanded Sora. "You don't want to shop for clothes, or jewelry, or hats."

"Yeah, what's up with that?" asked Mimi.

"I just-"

"Hey guys, it's cool," interjected Kari. "You've got to remember that Angelique is from a different country. Things are probably different over there."

"Yes," agreed Angelique, casting a grateful smile Kari's way. "Very different."

"Why don't we just show her around a bit and shop some other time?"

"Ok Kari, if you think that is what's best," Sora reluctantly agreed.

"But how can we not shop?" whined Mimi and Yolie together.

"I don't want to be a bother, perhaps." Angelique started timidly.

"Not at all," Sora interrupted with a wink. "We'll show you the ropes of this town."

"Uh, thanks, I guess."

"No problem. Come on; let's go to Stacie's. It's a great place to go look at clothes, we won't buy any, just look."

As the girls headed through the crowded mall Mimi pulled Sora back a little.

"What's going on, I came out here to shop, not window shop? What's the big deal?"

"Don't you get it? It's not that Angelique doesn't like these things. She can't afford them. She's living by herself in a strange country, and she came from a very poor country."

"Oh," Mimi's eyes opened wide with realization. "Poor kid."

"We'll just do what we can to make her feel at home."

Two hours later the girls tired of window-shopping and settled in the food court eating banana splits and waiting on the guys.

"You know, I really expected them to be here already," commented Sora.

"Knowing them, they managed to find one of those game stores that allows you to play demos of their games. They're probably having a Donkey Madness marathon."

All the girls giggled.

"Donkey Madness?" asked Angelique.

"Ask the guys, they'll show you," giggled Kari.

"Oh."

"It's a video-"

Sora's explanation was cut short by frightened shrieks from the nearby corridor of the mall. The girls all rushed out into the corridor to see what was happening.

Water was gushing wildly and pooling on the floor from the remains of a smashed fountain that had once resembled a singing mermaid. People were running wildly trying to escape. The Rockmon who had apparently just crushed the fountain was now cajoling wildly about frightening people and making the panic even worse. He smashed into a popcorn stand and began throwing popcorn at the frightened crowd.

"Angelique get out of he-" Sora turned to get Angelique out of the way but the young girl was already gone.

The girl's digimon had heard the commotion and came running to help.

"Let's try not to frighten him," warned Sora. "He's probably just confused."

She stepped towards the Rockmon.

"Hey there Rockmon," she called. "Why don't you come down from there and come have some ice cream with us. It's really yummy, I'll even pay for yours. You don't really want to scare all these nice people do you?"

"Sure I do," laughed the Rockmon. "I want to scare you too. ROCK BARAGE!"

Sora ducked as the rocks came flying her way.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

When Angelique had seen the Rockmon and the screaming crowds she acted on pure instinct and ducked into the nearest door. It had happened to be a bathroom.

What's going on, she wondered. Should I do something?

Before she had time to decide she caught a glimpse of a figure behind her in the mirror. She whirled and found herself face to face with a female digimon.

The creature was short and painfully thin, with knobby knees and arms. Her black ragged clothes waved in angry tatters about her. Her mouth hung open in a wicked leer revealing sharp fangs. Her red eyes glared hungrily at Angelique.

"Are you lost?" asked Angelique. "Where are you supposed to be?"

"Right here. He told me if I waited here I could eat all the little girls I wanted. I guess I get to start with you. Master does know best after all."

"Now wait a minute. Who are you?"

"I am Vampmon. Prepare to face my Nightwing Collision."

Angelique raised her hand to ward of the attack as the dark energy wave headed towards her.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sora was bleeding from a small cut on her forehead, but it was a small price to pay. They had finally managed to corner Rockmon and would hopefully be able to get him out of the busy mall before he did any more damage. Sora was sorry that their afternoon with Angelique had been interrupted so rudely. The poor girl was probably terrified.

"Ok, let's just come along peacefully," Sora said placatingly as she tried to subtly guide the Rockmon towards the door.

"Why should he go peacefully anywhere?" asked a mocking voice behind them.

The girls turned and saw a cloaked figure in a wide brimmed hat and carrying a long rounded staff.

"Wizardmon!" exclaimed Kari and Gatomon happily, both dashed forward, neither noticing that the Wizardmon look-alike wore clothes of black and violet.

"Kari wait, come back," called Sora.

"DARK-HYPNOTISM!"

Before either had a chance to react the black cloud enveloped them. Without a word they turned on their friends.

"Kari, what's wrong," asked Yolie, who then yelped and ducked the punch Kari threw at her.

Gatomon leapt silently at Biyomon and Hawkmon, trying to knock them out, both birds took to the air.

"They're being controlled, oh this is terrible," Mimi squealed.

"PEPPER BREATH!"

Agumon's attack stormed straight at Darkwizardmon, catching him in the face. Darkwizardmon leapt straight up and landed on a support beam high in the ceiling.

"Let go of my sister!" commanded Tai as he and the other boys arrived on the scene.

"Don't worry, this is just a calling card. Myotismon wants you to know that he's back in town."

With a laugh Darkwizardmon vanished in a puff of smoke.

Kari looked around in confusion and Gatomon shook her head to clear it.

"What happened? I thought I saw Wizardmon."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"ANGELIC BUBBLE BLAST!"

The attack seemed to appear from nowhere and caught Vampmon in the stomach, throwing her back into one of the open stalls and cracking the tiles of the wall as she crashed through them.

What's happened, wondered Angelique staring at her raised hand. Where did that come from?

Angelique's head began to swim as Vampmon pushed herself off the wall and dropped angrily to the floor. She headed towards Angelique again as Angelique dropped slowly to her knees.

"Don't expect that to save you again," she sneered, pulling Angelique up to face her. Angelique's head rolled back as she lost consciousness again.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

"I think I saw her go in there," said Yolie pointing to the door.

"Then maybe you should go get her," remarked Ken, staring at the markings on the door. "There's no way I'm going into the girls bathroom."

"Chicken," teased Davis.

"Oh, right. I'll go get her then."

Yolie opened the door to the restroom and yelled for help. Despite his inhibitions Ken rushed in to help, calling Wormon to digivolve as he burst through the door.

Vampmon dashed backwards and turned into smoke, pouring herself up an air conditioning vent to escape the champion.

Ken turned to help Yolie with Angelique.

"She's unconscious, Ken."

"Let's get her out of here, see if a little fresh air will help," said Ken, kneeling and scooping her into his arms.

A few minutes later all the digidestined met by the Kamiya's van and watched the police arrive at the scene.

Angelique was seated on the front seat of the van. Her eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Hey, Angel, are you ok?" asked Davis leaning over her.

"Do NOT call me Angel!" she warned with a hard look as she tried to push herself up.

"Ok, take it easy."

"Sorry," she muttered. "I need to get home. I need my medicine."

"Oh, don't worry, we'll get you home then."

The digidestined clambered into the van, Tai taking the driver's seat.

"Unless Tai gets us killed on the way there of course," teased Izzy.

"Back off, Izzy. I passed the test, it's legal for me to drive."

Angelique allowed herself to drift off, ignoring their incessant bickering.

When they reached Heighton View she insisted that she was fine and would not allow them to walk her to her apartment. Inside she dragged herself to her cot and collapsed, allowing the blackness to claim her.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Vampmon angrily leapt from tree branch to tree branch through Odaiba Central Park. She searched the crowds endlessly for a small girl with silver blonde hair.

She had to find that child again. Nobody escaped her. She would find that girl and tear her limb from limb.

She landed on a windowsill and peered inside, a girl with white blonde hair lay with her back to Vampmon. She hissed in triumph, but the girl turned in her sleep to the window. Her face was different.

Vampmon hissed angrily and leapt to the roof. She glared up at the silver moon hanging low in the sky. She raised her hand to it and made a fist, causing it to appear in her own vision that she had captured the moon. That great silver moon that reminded her of that silly girl's eyes.

Yes, she would make her pay.

A/N: Ok, I imagine some of you are probably a little confused now, but most of this will be made clear in the next chapter or so.

For the reviewers:

Kyer: I'd go for all black too, but I just don't really picture it. It's more his suit is a dark murky kinda purple color and his cape, hat, and boots are black. I only saw season one once anyway so I don't remember too well what Wizardmon looked like. I needed a bad guy digimon and Darkwizardmon came to mind. Just popped out of my crazy head.

Perished Hope: My cliffhangers are almost notorious. I've left a lot of questions about Angelique unanswered, mostly because I'm hoping to keep my readers in suspense. I'm working on your fic, I'll probably finish it as soon as I upload everything tonight. Or I'll download it and take it to work with me. And btw; Milky Way is spelt as such, not Milky whey ^.~ You pick on my spelling and I got to say something. It's not my strong point though.

'Til next time!
