I don't Own Digimon
Darkness Falls
888
Jun sat huddled in the shelter, next to Davis's wife. Jun's hair was cut short and now was a dark shade of blue. She had become a cosmetologist after the strange events that included the monsters. She looked at Davis's wife. She was a young woman, twenty seven or twenty eight, Jun really couldn't remember. She had pretty strawberry blonde hair and soft brown eyes. The young woman was tugging softly at a pair of long black pants.
"So…" Jun said suddenly. She looked around quietly and then turned her attention back the young woman, "Has Davis…"
"Yes he sent me an email on my PDA," replied the woman quietly. "My son is in the Digital World…"
"Oh," Jun said quietly. She felt uncomfortable around the womanto start withand, now,Davis's wife had really sounded depressed. Jun had to change the subject. She looked down and sighed. She looked over and noticed the woman's plain fingernails. "You know my shop does wonderful little manicures and we have some new colors from America…"
"Jun…please," said the woman quietly. "My husband is out gallivanting around with his old school friends risking his life and my son is off in some world filled with monsters. I really don't care about my fingernails."
"I'm sorry Izumi…" whispered Jun. She sighed. "You do know that my brother and his friends will fix things right…?"
"How? So far it's only gotten worse," replied Izumi without looking at Jun.
"I don't know…" said Jun. She caught Izumi's look, "I mean, no one knows, when the monsters attacked twenty years ago, none of us knew what was going on. Davis and the others were fighting for us and it just kept looking bleaker and bleaker and then…I don't know what happened but this beautiful golden light filled the skies and then the darkness faded. All I can say is that things may only seem to be getting worse…but trust me when I say that my bro' and his friends will win in the end."
There were murmurs amongst the others in the shelter. The sound of rumbles seemed to filter through the material of the large cement walls of the school they were in. The fold out tables that everyone was sitting at shuddered a little. The banners on the walls that depicted large eagles, the school's mascot, wafted as a large thump shook the wall.
Suddenly a large purple dinosaur crashed through the left wall. People screamed in terror as the swarmed to the far wall from the beast. It had a square purple head. Its two arms flailed; it was then Jun saw them. First a metallic serpent head, then a fossilized skull of some predatory dinosaur. The hands were implanted on the arms of the purple digimon.
"Fire Rocket!" three large balls of fire shot into the dinosaur's chest as a large humanoid digimon leapt down and stood up right in the hole in the wall. He had blue skin and red flame painted armor that covered his arms, legs and head. A large up-curved bladed horn shot up from his forehead.
"Davis!" shouted Jun, but she got a terrible shock as a short little boy ran up behind the dragon.
"Flamedramon, get Deltamon out of here, I'll help direct the people out of the school," said the boy. He had short brown hair that laid straight in a tight bowl around his head. He had a blue jacket on and was wearing khakis.
"Ok, Kazu, but I'll definitely need help dragging this fat butt's body out of here," growled the dragon as he tugged at the dinosaur's tail testing the weight. "Yashamon! Help me lift him!" The next thing Jun knew a thin but very muscular digimon was at Flamedramon's side. He had two long wooden swords had two wooden arm guards attached his arm. He wore tan, thick khakis of some sort, probably cargo pants or military issue pants and he had a green set of chains that criss-crossed his chest in an X He too was a blue skinned dragon like digimon but he had a head a bit like a furless llama.
"You know," rasped the new digimon. "Raidramon is stronger than I am…"
"But Raidramon doesn't have any arms or hands and he's busy fighting the Bakemon hordes!" growled Flamedramon. The fire digimon leapt over the fallen dinosaur and pushed. "Now pull, Yashamon."
The thin digimon curled his arms back sliding the wooden blades into sheathes on the sides of his hips and then he took a hold of the dinosaur's tail and tugged. The giant purple digimon slid back through the hole in the wall as chunks of brick and mortar crumpled off the damaged wall. The boy Flamedramon called Kazu came up to Jun.
"Come on ma'am…" The boy looked up at her and Jun, failing to resist the anger that bubbled up, slapped him.
"I am not a ma'am…" retorted Jun. She shot her nose up in the air, "For future reference you may call me, Jun or Miss Motomiya."
"Umm, ok…Jun…" said the boy as he rubbed his cheek. "Let's go out the back, there are Bakemon and Vilemon out in the front of the school…just go up the steps to that door with the others." He pointed up to a large metal door with the red kanji that said 'An Emergency Exit Only' He looked up at Izumi. "Miss, if you'd please follow Miss Motomiya." Izumi only nodded as she dumbfoundedly watched Flamedramon and Yashamon drag the large dinosaur out of the school cafeteria. Jun grasped the woman and drew her towards the door. Kazu quickly went around to the others trying to keep people calm and directing traffic.
Jun and Izumi stepped out into the fresh air. A young girl with a long plaid skirt was standing there waving people into groups. The tall lank digimon with the wooden swords, from before, dropped down next to the girl.
"Kiyoko, I think we're good to ship out, with Deltamon out of the way the Bakemon and Vilemon are starting to retreat," said the digimon. He looked out over the people. "Should I have Kazu and Akiyama draw back here and get ready to go?"
"Umm, I guess, but make sure that they're ready to go, I don't want to be caught up in a tidal wave of Bakemon or something," called the girl as Yashamon leapt up to the roof of the school and disappeared. The girl sighed, "He's so impetuous." She turned to the others, "Ok, seeing as we seemed to have cleared out the attackers…we're going to in front of the school, there is a shelter about ten blocks from here; we're going to take you there ok?"
Everyone nodded and Kiyoko turned and walked leading the group slowly. There were about one hundred people split up in groups of about thirty three people a piece. They came out onto the street. The prone form of Deltamon was laid out in front of the school. Two humanoid digimon; one the flame painted Flamedramon the other the swordsman Yashamon, and one beast like digimon, covered in black armor that jutted out in black lightning designs on its shoulder; the armor even covered its head and ended with a lightning shaped horn that jutted out of the creature's snout. Its blue tail was visible and; its legs were not completely armored allowing for brief glimpses of the blue flesh of the digimon.
"Right now what?" the black and blue dragon growled as he walked over to a boy about thirteen. He was tall and had blonde hair. He wore glasses.
He turned and looked at the group. "Let's lead these guys to the next shelter, then we can deal with the digimon…"
"I would like a bit of meal too," said Yashamon quietly. "We can't keep this up forever; it's been nearly six hours straight…"
"I have some crackers in my pocket…" said a little girl in the crowd. The girl walked forward. She walked up to Yashamon slowly and held out her hand. Six crackers were in her palm. The swordsman looked at the girl and smiled. He slowly reached out and took the crackers. Yashamon bowed and then turned and gave two of the crackers to Flamedramon and two to Raidramon and then ate the two remaining.
"Thank you," said Flamedramon and he walked up to the girl and bowed. Raidramon walked up to the girl and licked her cheek; causing the girl to giggle.
The blonde walked forward. "Right everyone we're going north, down this street, stay in your group…Raidramon…" The black digimon leapt back and lifted the boy up on his back and then hopped in front of the group. He was soon followed by Flamedramon and Yashamon who leapt forward with their partners. "Please try and stay in three groups, if we have to split up because of any reason it would be best that we not have to try and keep bad digimon from forcing us to fight through a mob…" the boy then pointed forward, "Forward ho'!" with that the three groups slowly started their trek towards the next safe house.
They continued forward for three blocks rather peacefully, but the peace wouldn't last. A gang of Bakemon reared up moaning and snarling.
"We've come to take the humans!" growled the largest Bakemon. "We will grind their bones to make our bread." Their eyes glowed bright red, "Lord Lucemon has forsaken your puny race, and has given us free reign to eat you."
"Lucemon may have forsaken the humans, but we haven't," growled Raidramon. The black armored dragon stepped forward. "Now stand aside!"
"No…" growled the Bakemon.
"Fine…" Raidramon growled. "Thunder Blast!" a ball of lightning shot from the beast's horn and exploded into the ghosts. The ghost retreated back into the shadows. "Right let's go before they get brave again." Raidramon growled and continued forward.
They continued forward at a slightly accelerated rate. Raidramon stopped again. He sniffed the air and growled.
"What's wrong?" asked Akiyama. He rubbed Raidramon's side gently.
"Akiyama, take your sister and brother and continue to lead the shelter people to the next safe house," Raidramon lifted his head and looked around. "Flamedramon, Yashamon…do you smell that?"
The other two Champions nodded and stood on guard as the humans walked past; first calmly, but that would soon change as a large ball and chain ripped through a nearby building. A large grey and cream teddy bear stomped out of the alley and chuckled. It had a red cape.
"WaruMonzaemon!" growled Flamedramon. He took a hesitant step back to allow the large puppet digimon room. The bear slicked his wrist and retrieved the ball end of his chain and glared down at the three Champions. His eyes glowed deep crimson.
"Lord Lucemon would not like your interference!" growled the teddy bear. He twirled the ball in chain in one hand.
"We have to get him back away from the others!" growled Raidramon.
"Right…" Yashamon leapt forward. "Gordian Knot!" he slashed forward with his wooden swords. The wooden blades glowed gold and cut forward slicing through the bear's skin. WaruMonzaemon growled angrily and whipped his chained ball upwards cracking the metal into the offending attacker.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon leapt up and punched forward releasing blasts of flame at the teddy bear. WaruMonzaemon staggered backward retreating from the flames.
"Thunder Blast!" Raidramon charged forward and fired a blast of lightening into WaruMonzaemon's gut and the digimon fell on its back side.
"Heart Break Attack!" the bear slashed a paw forward unleashing hundreds of crimson hearts the exploded angrily into the champions. Yashamon and Flamedramon both were sent flying landing inevitably on Raidramon. Yashamon crawled free and growled.
He lifted his blades and launched forward. "Gordian KNOT!"
"Bear Claw!" metal ran up against enchanted wood. The next second Yashamon crashed down on the street and skidded into a light pole adding darkness to an already dark pre-dawn morning.
"Yashamon!" the fire dragon leapt to his friend. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine…" growled Yashamon as he stood using his wooden swords as props. "He's got a mean little bit of an attack…"
"He's an Ultimate digimon, but usually puppet type digimon are pretty weak for their level…especially Monzaemon relatives…" growled Raidramon. He looked warily at WaruMonzaemon.
The bear lurched forward its long metal claws were drawn out and aimed at Raidramon. The black armored dragon leapt to the side as the bear's claws slammed into the street. Raidramon swerved around and bit the bear releasing bursts of lightning into the large stuffed animal's body. The bear shook its arm trying to free itself from the dragon and flung Raidramon down the street. The bear then swung its chain out and caught Flamedramon and Yashamon in the chest with the chain links and drove them into the wall of a building on the opposite side of the street.
"Fire Rocket!" A fiery torpedo shot out of the building slamming right into the gut of the bear driving it to the ground. As the fire washed forward from Flamedramon's body the dragon kicked off of its victim propelling himself away from the bear.
"Gordian Knot!" Yashamon ran up the side the walls of the buildings flanking the street they were fighting in and then pushed off and slashed his swords in an X shape across WaruMonzaemon's chest. The bear shouted in pain and then swatted the swordsman away sending him reeling backward but unhurt.
"Thunder Blast!" Raidramon shot forward releasing a blast of lightning. The bear growled and his fist flew forward smashing the lightning blast.
The three digimon gasped as WaruMonzaemon walked forward and swinging his ball and chain. "Bear…ARgh…" A blast of lightning shot down from the sky; followed by balls of fire.
A large orange, phoenix flew over followed by a large blue beetle. There was a red haired man riding behind the beetle a tan haired woman was on the bird.
"Finally, the cavalry comes," growled Raidramon.
"Late as usual," replied Flamedramon as he lifted his claws preparing another offensive against the Ultimate teddy bear.

Kari blinked a couple of times. Where ever she was it smelled like rotten eggs and plugged bathrooms. She coughed to try and expel the stench from her lungs but to no avail. The air was infused with the stench; like every molecule of oxygen was being escorted by the vile smell.
"She's awake," hissed the voice of a Bakemon. She shuddered remembering what had happened.
"Oh good," said a haunting voice, a voice that seemed vaguely familiar. The dim lit area she was in didn't really give her much to look at. There was a metallic glint in the darkness. "Miss Kamaiya, it is nice to see you awake. It has been so long, so very long." A pair of blue eyes gleamed in the dark. "Yes, nearly twenty four years."
"What do you want?" Kari growled. She tried to reach forward to snatch at who ever was taunting her but found her hands tightly chained to the cement walls.
"Well, first you will pay for destroying lord Myotismon," said the voice quietly. Its eyes blazed quietly, "Then you will just die…"
"You won't get away with it, the others will come!" shouted Kari as she railed against the chains.
"Let them, I would wish to see their faces when the find your cold, lifeless eyes looking at them in terror," the eyes slid upwards like their owner's cheeks pinched upwards in a smile. "Even if they destroy me, just getting to see their shocked and horrified looks when they find you would fulfill me."
"They'll find me before you can do anything; they'll just…"
"Oh yes, your D-3 or whatever you're calling them now," the figure's eyes twinkled. "I took the liberty of confiscating it from you and having the Bakemon throw it into the sewer system on the far side of the city, even if they find it…they'd have to search out the entire city's sewer system; they'd never get to you in time…"
"They'll never let you get away with this," growled Kari quietly.
"Silence human, I grow weary of your repetitive cackling," growled the voice. Its owner shifted and there was another metallic glint over the owner's head. "Bakemon…bring the red vial…"
One of the ghostly minions floated in front of Kari with a vial with a red liquid in it. The sheet sneered as it looked in Kari's eyes.
"I won't drink anything you give me!" shouted Kari. The girl clamped her mouth shut and looked defiantly at the two blue eyes in the shadows.
"Do not fret; this one isn't to drink…" chuckled the voice. "Drip it on her wrists and then massage it up and down her arm…"
Kari tried to resist but her arms were bound and thusly her resistance against the surprisingly strong sheet was useless. The ghost dripped the liquid on her arm. At first nothing happened; in fact she was about to make a comment when the ghost slowly started to rub the liquid into her skin with a gloved hand. It burned; but not in the conventional sense; it burned all the way through. Her bones felt like there were kindling in a fire. It only grew hotter and hotter the pain seared up and down her arms and then the ghost did something it wasn't commanded to do and stuck its finger; which it had used to massage the crimson oil into her skin, into her right eye. The woman screamed in agony as her right optical orb felt like it was ball of fire.
"Do not worry, the pain is excruciating but the damage is minimal," chuckled the hidden figure. "The oil only causes a very strong histamine response…in fact…you should be feeling faint pretty soon, from the blood rushing to your arms, but you won't have nice dreams; if you would Bakemon…"
The ghost lifted its hand to her ear. Kari was screaming and writhing, in pain and resistance to being touched by the ghost, the sheet grabbed her head and pulled her closer and hissed something in her ear.
"Sweet nightmares, Miss Kamaiya," chuckled the voice.

AN:Double Chapter posting, why? Because last chapter wasn't all that cliffhangery and because you guys are like five chapters behind me! It's only fair I try to bump up the speed, some cool stuff starts happening soon…well I think it's cool but I wrote it. Oh and the vile thing, not exactly my idea, some one wrote an Inuyasha fan-fic where Naraku tortures someone with potions, these aren't entirely based on that but the idea…yeah, I apologize for not remembering who it was, but if you ever find the fic, or if it's yours send me a line and I'll give you the author, the appropriate credit, that and I hope I don't get in a wee bit of trouble…It was just something that seemed right for the position. OH THIS IS NOT A CROSS OVER I AM NOT IMPLYING ANY CROSS SEASON RELATIONSHIPS, these just happened to be the first names I came across....
The fun bucket starts to churn up in…Twilight of Power!
