The disclaimer goes here: I don't own digimon, part or in whole. I own nothing mentioned unless stated otherwise. All flames will be used this winter to heat my room and be sent after my teachers.
Please excuse any OOCness, and don't flame me for 'school counselor group' thingies that involve confessions of secrets.
This chapter is wicked-long, but please be patient reading it. It took a while to write.

After carrying the sleeping ladies to the adjacent bedrooms, the guys sat in the main room and came up with various plans for the nightwatchmen's shifts. Cody's suggested of two people and their digimon switching every hour, so that if one person fell asleep, there would be a backup.
The plan of attack was thought up by random suggestions by random people. First shift was Davis and TK (It isn't as bad as you think), Cody and Ken, Tai and Matt, and Izzy and Joe; then would start back at shift one. Shift one would begin at 11pm.
Davis, TK and their digimon began their shift by playing cards, a game known simply as BS.
"I lay down three fours." Davis set the three cards facedown. Angemon looked at his now-huge hand. "BS."
"You heard him, flip 'em." Veemon pointed at Davis, who sighed and flipped over a queen and two jacks. "Davis has to take the whole pile!" Groaning, Davis picked up almost a third of the deck. TK took his turn and set down a 'five'. Veemon set down three 'sixes' and Davis called it. "BS."
Veemon flipped over the top three to reveal only one six.
"What do we do once the novelty of cards fades?" Davis asked, as Angemon set down four sevens.
"There's always 'Married with Static' on TV. Want to watch that?"
"Good point." Davis stared hesitantly at Angemon before he spoke up. "I'm sorry I made fun of you. I barely even know you two."
The digimon looked over his cards at Davis. "There is such a thing as asking questions before you say anything. I want to know one thing: Why do you make fun of us? There's no one that can overhear, if that's what you're afraid of." Davis was caught off-guard by that suggestion of fear. "I'm not afraid. I'm just...It's hard to...It's just that....well, I'm.... kinda jealous of....Kari and TK...." He hung his head in shame, blushing and cussing himself for admitting his weakness. When no comment was made, he looked up cautiously.
To his suprise, no one showed evidence of wanting to tease him. "I feel jealous sometimes too; of the other digimon." The angel digimon began. "I sometimes wish I had forms like them and wasn't so different."
"Me too. I was jealous when Frank (for lack of a better name at the moment) got to be Prince Phillip in 'Sleeping Beauty' opposite Kari's character."
"Really? I had Demiveemon eat his snack for that one."
"I had Patamon ambush him from a tree." The four beings laughed as they shared different aspects of their 'comedic' lives, as their card game vanished into discussions of the past.
"I spit milk up my nose this one time when my mother showed my naked baby pictures to guests."
"Have you ever spit soda up your nose? That hurts worse."
"I once slipped on ice when I chased the other digimon on the frozen pond in the digiworld."
"A female digimon once caught me bathing once. Of course it was embarrassing, considering that I removed my clothes in order to bathe."
Over the course of chatting, the minute hand slowly crept towards the twelve. They had just realised that they were relieved from their duties, when the floor suddenly creaked and emitted sounds of the wood breaking. The horrible, beastly sounds of satanic beings accompanied the heavy smells of brimstone, ashes, and burning flesh that preceeded the arrival of the most vile fallen angel digimon.
"TK, Wake up everybody. Then send the newer digidestined first; have their digimon come at the highest level possible, in armor or otherwise. You and Kari arrive with the older digidestined at the highest levels possible. Make sure the digimon are all fed." Davis said this calmly, to avoid the ambush that may have come had he shouted.
Nodding in agreement, TK and his digimon roused everyone from sleep and encouraged the digimon to eat as fast as possible, before they arrived in the main hall. TK tossed some prepackaged snack food over to Veemon, who digivolved into Exveemon. The other digimon digivolved as well as the center floorboards began to cave.
The assembled digimon and digidestined watched in shock as the caving boards snapped like twigs and tumbled into a bubbling pit of flaming magma, and shivered despite themselves when the cyniacal laughter filled the atmosphere.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!! Foolish children!! You will regret ever standing in my way this Hallows Eve, for you see, I've taken the time to 'dress up' for Halloween this year. And it's going to be a real fire blast!!!"
Ever so slowly, the magma-covered being flew out of the pit and landed on one of the stone pillars in the sea of fire.
"Devimon?!" came the shocked reaction from the seven eldest digidestined.
"Not quite children, and digimon. I've told you I changed. I'm now MagmaDevimon, as a result of the spell I had one of my minions cast. Which means I can now summon the powers of DigiHell, and use them to do whatever I please." MagmaDevimon directed his gaze to Angemon, who tensed in preperation. "And you, Angemon, shall be the first to experience what I felt all these years in my torture. If you cooperate with me, and enter my arena, your friends shall never feel safer. Or are you going to stand by and watch them die a painful death, like a coward?"
Angemon stepped forward slowly, the sound of his steps mingling with the silence which had overcome everyone. "I'll accept your twisted game."
Cries of 'Don't!' from digimon and human alike as he flew to a pillar facing MagmaDevimon, and a transparent dome barrier slid in place.
"He'll be killed!!" MetalGarurumon shouted.
"Then we smash our way through!!" WarGreymon shouted, before he and the other digimon began pelting the barrier with attack after attack. TK pounded on the plastic barrier, also trying to break through.
"We'll get him out! Don't worry!" Davis said, before he let Flamedramon attack.
Inside, the pressure from the heat increased dramaticly, and Angemon was having great difficulty just staying conscious.
"Feeling dizzy? That's because this place is literally an oven that never stops, and it only gets hotter. But you wouldn't know that, because you're an angel!" MagmaDevimon's words sounded distorted and the angel digimon swayed a little from the dizzying heat.
'What's wrong with me? Everything's too hot!!' He thought, almost losing balance. Everything, from his helmet to his clothes felt hot and constricting, and his energy was being sapped by the heat. Horrible hallucinations began to crowd out any rational thoughts as he fell, semi-conscious, on the stone pillar.
MagmaDevimon grinned and looked up triumphantly at the future victims, who were froze in mid-attack, faces twisted in shock and sorrow. He picked up the unconscious angel digimon, and flew him over the center of the lava pit.
"See this children?!? This is what happens when you defy my command!!! Angemon was a fool, and he's paying for his insubordination with his life!!"
Davis glanced over at TK, who shook with ....anger? On closer inspection, Davis found him holding back tears behind tightly-shut eyes.
"He's my friend.....he can't die....I don't know what I'd do without him...." Davis tightly grasped TK's hand, causing the crying boy to look up.
"I am not giving up, TK. Angemon needs you to be strong, and me and Flamedramon will be right there with both of you, kicking MagmaDevimon's sorry butt back to his torture!!" TK cheered up a bit. "You're right Davis. As his friend, I need to be strong for Angemon, and I have the support of all my friends."
Davis gave a thumbs up, before his and TK's digivices began to glow, along with Flamedramon's and Angemon's bodies. Flamedramon broke through the barrier just as MagmaDevimon let go of Angemon. The room was filled with blinding light as the two bodies merged.
"Flamedramon!!" "Angemon!!" "DNA digivolve to.....FlameAngemon!!"
MagmaDevimon stood back as his shocked expression matched everyone elses'. Everyone stared in awe at the new warrier, who stood on the lava like it was solid ground. Long, yellowy-orange flames flowed down his back over flame-colored wings, which were tinged with blue around the edges. Blue boots adorned with lifelike flame patterns slid over the leg part of white pants. The upper half was identical in style to the bottom half; with blue, flame-pattern gloves and a white, tight-fitting shirt. A blue mask, similar to Myotismon's but with flames instead of batwings, revealed two deep blue eyes with flames (not literally) dancing in them.
"What's the matter, MagmaDevimon? Never see a fire angel digimon before?" The combined voice of Angemon and Flamedramon asked dangerously, hinting slightly of impending doom. "Or does your tiny brain not comprehend my might."
"Who is that?" Tai asked Izzy, who was almost as clueless.
"That's FlameAngemon, the combined form of Flamedramon and Angemon. He's so new....there's absolutely no information on him." Izzy concluded.
Davis and TK stared in amasement at their digimon, who finally flew up and began giving MagmaDevimon what he deserved.
"Our digimon.....all digivolved and kicking devil butt!!" Davis commented emotionally.
"I wasn't aware that they were even able to do that!" Yolei gasped.
"Me neither, but they're both digimon, so maybe it does work." Cody added.
"I can certainly hear Flamedramon's nature." Stingmon said.
"Lava Eruption!!" MagmaDevimon managed to fire his most lethal attack, which made a direct hit and pulled the angel under. FlameAngemon's laugh echoed from where he was pulled under the surface of the lava pool.
"That was fun, but can you handle this?" The fire angel flew out of the lava, completely unharmed and unfazed. "Dragon FireStorm Attack!!" The jaws of a giant fire dragon closed around the fire devil's body, incinerating him on contact. FireAngemon hardened the surface of the magma pool before busting his way through the barrier.
"Prodigious!!! What was that attack?" Izzy ran to the digimon, who landed between TK and Davis.
"The Dragon FireStorm Attack. It instantly incinerates a digimon's soul from existance." The new warrior said.
"You are the COOLEST digimon ever!!" The two boys shouted in unison, hugging their digimon, who responded by hugging them back.
"I think I know where Angemon's nature was." Ken said to his digimon, just as the exausted forms of Tokomon and DemiVeemon sat where FlameAngemon once stood.
"Gee Angewomon, it looks like instead of picking one over the other, you can have them both." Lilymon joked, before she de-digivolved into Palmon. Angewomon sweatdropped, returning to her Gatomon form.
Hearing a "You've got mail!" from Izzy's laptop, they all crowded around Izzy to see what the old 'fart' wanted.
"Congradulations children! You survived the night, and took out one of the most evil digimon that has ever plauged File Island. He shouldn't be back for a long time."
"Are we released from our guard duties now? I think our parents have had massive coronaries by now." Tai asked, as the two in-training digimon yawned cutely and attracted "awwws" from the girls. (for some reason)
"You may leave if you want. I'll keep in touch." Gennai severed the connection with a 'good night' and Izzy shut off his computer.
"Shall we leave?" Tai asked, impersonating a gentleman and motioning to the transport mirror. "We exit here."
"What do we tell the parents?" Kari asked, holding the sleeping Gatomon in her arms.
"....Road construction....." Gatomon mumbled.
"How about the wagon broke, or something like that." "How about both?" "Both is good." came responding comments.
Davis pulled the digivice to the mirror. "Let's blow this popstand."
"Davis, can I have a popsicle when we get home?" DemiVeemon asked. Everyone laughed as they all were transported home.
"Jaguaromon, should we get them now?"
"No, Hexmon. Our alliance with Devimon is gone. We can do as we please."
"Can we try again?"
"Yes. We can try again....someday."
There it is. The fifth chapter finally written and posted. Hope you stuck with the chapter (despite the length), and I hope you review and tell me what you think of it. (But no flames please). I have the party to write and then the fic is completed. I'll post some fluffy one-shots and the like (All fluff dealing with my two favorite angel digimon.
