I don't own digimon.

AN:Warning, some situations in this chapter will have more adult themes. Again, if you're little and need to talk to your parents about the author's naughtiness, do so…the rest, have fun!

"Master Flame!" white flames washed through the death fog. Master Tyranomon raged forward. "Are you ok, CannonBeemon?"
"Hell's Masquerade!" crimson ribbons flew up at Mephismon. DinoBeemon wasn't far behind. The demon ducked and weaved through the ribbons.
"Black Sabbath!" The winged goat man fired black lightning at DinoBeemon. A black streak snapped against one of the draconic insect's wings sending the beast tumbling into the billowing miasma.
"No!" shouted Kougi and Kiyoshi. They started forward. Hiroshi was running after them.
"Wait!" shouted Isamu. "If that cloud is hurting our digimon, think of what it would do to you!"
"It doesn't matter, I have to get CannonBeemon out of there!" shouted Hiroshi loudly.
"It will kill you!" returned Isamu.
"We're just supposed to let our friends die?" shouted Kougi loudly.
"That's cruel, Isamu!" growled Kiyoshi.
"DON'T GO!" shouted Isamu and he grabbed Kiyoshi and Hiroshi and threw them to the ground. He then snagged Kougi by the arm. "If you go, you'll die; if you die then they'll have put themselves at risk for nothing!"
"Master Flame!" Master Tyranomon roared as he fired another volley at Mephismon.
Mephismon growled and took the blast to the chest. He narrowed his eyes and opened his palms. "Death Cloud!"
"NO!" shouted Master Tyranomon. He rushed forward. "Master Tyranomon Mega Digivolve to Goddramon! SUMMON!" A blue dragon and a red dragon rushed forward and spiraled in the sky drawing the black miasma into a thick whirlwind that spewed the cloud into the sky, and dispersed it. The golden dragon looked down at the limp forms of FanBeemon, Veemon, and Wormmon. His eyes flashed up to Mephismon. "You did this!"
"That I did," replied Mephismon coolly. He flicked his palms up, "and I'll do it again!"
"No, YOU WON'T!" growled Goddramon. "GOD FLAME!" A swarming blast of golden flames ensnared Mephismon. The goat man howled loudly. There was nothing left but fizzle of steam.

"Thank you, Phoenixmon," The robed figure bowed slightly. "You do not know the ramifications that this egg will have in the near future…" The large, four winged raptor nodded
"Lord Omega," the bird growled softly.
Omega turned. "Yes?"
"Do you think we can really defeat Lucemon?" asked the bird.
"We can only do what is in our power," said Omega quietly. He looked up to the broken sky. "Lucemon is powerful, but I still believe that the combined strength of the dreams and wishes of Humans and Digimon can defeat him," He looked down at the last egg, the white one with the purple streaks. "I must be going." The man disappeared into a rainbow ray.
Phoenixmon looked down at the egg. It had sweeping flames around it. "We will be victorious!" The large bird glowed and drained his energy into the egg. The glow faded to reveal a small pink bird. "I hope that is enough…"
The egg started to crack.

Sumi looked down at Otamamon. The purple tadpole was waddling happily next to the girl.
"Do you think Hiroshi is ok?" asked Sumi quietly. The tadpole looked up and smirked.
"Why?" asked the little amphibian.
"Nothing, it just seemed like he was acting oddly before he left for home," replied Sumi quietly. She furrowed her brow, "Dang it, where did Reese and Carlyle go?"
"They said something about getting some grubs…" replied Otamamon.
"I think you mean grub," Sumi corrected quietly, "but they should've been back by now…"
"Maybe they met some resistance…" chirped Otamamon.
Sumi narrowed her eyes, "Yeah and Reese is such a hard headed idiot he'd fight with Lucemon himself…"
The tadpole shook its head slightly and continued on. Sumi took a step and then her D-Terminal went off. The young woman rolled her eyes and flicked the device from her pocket.
She sighed as she read it, "It figures…they are fighting…and they need our help…"

"Striking Fist!" the blue dragon slammed the glowing fist into the hard white surface.
"MmmhhmmmMmm," chuckled the maniacal, irritating little voice inside the white oval object. "Nothing can break my shell!"
"I told you this was a bad idea," growled Carlyle as he looked to Reese, "but no you said, 'why not have some one else make our food, then that way we don't have to waste time finding any berries'…"
"How was I supposed to know he was possessed by Lucemon's control?" shouted the boy in the grey body suit and light leather arm guards.
"THE RED EYES COULD'VE BEEN YOUR FIRST CLUE!" shouted Carlyle.
"Strike Dramon move; I'll get him out of there!" shouted the purple flying cat. It opened its wings and growled, "TOBU TOBU PHOENIX!" A large red flaming bird flew forward and pecked at the white object.
"Fools!" snarled the voice as the object rolled away and then two, stout, green legs popped out the bottom. The front part of it opened to reveal two red eyes. "You can not harm me!"
"Just go away Digitamamon!" shouted Reese.
"You must pay me!" yelled the egg loudly.
"You didn't give us any food!" shouted Carlyle in return.
"That's because your clutzy friend knocked the tray over!" growled the egg. He narrowed his eyes. "I demand payment! In FLESH AND BLOOD! Nightmare Syndrome!" A black ghoul shot out of the shell and roared towards Reese and Carlyle.
Strike Dramon and TobuCatmon rushed in front of the ghoul. The nightmare beast grabbed the two digimon and rolled them up in a black ball and then tossed them to the ground.
"Ugh…that was…" whimpered TobuCatmon.
"Unpleasant…" grumbled Strike Dramon.
"How about another?" laughed the egg as he hopped forward, "Nightmare Syndrome!" the ghoul snatched up the two digimon and tossed them into a tree, "and another! Nightmare Syndrome!"
Strike Dramon and TobuCatmon collapsed on the ground. Their muscles were throbbing and their heads were spinning.
"No….more…" whimpered TobuCatmon.
"What was that? Another?" laughed Digitamamon. "Ok, NIGHTMARE SYND…"
"Ice Blast!" a white frost covered the egg. Seadramon rushed over the tree line and curled down.
"Well that puts him in the cooler for a bit," said Sumi. She turned to the two boys. "ARE YOU COMPLETE IMBECILES?" The two boys leapt back in fear. Sumi walked up to them. "Digitamamon is an Ultimate digimon! He has a bad temper even when he isn't possessed and you thought it was a good idea to piss him off!"
"It wasn't my fault!" retorted Reese. "Stupid Digitamamon dropped the plate…"
"I DON'T DROP PLATES!" a black blast exploded through the ice.
"Ice Blast!" roared Seadramon.
"Feh!" growled the egg. "Nightmare Syndrome!"
Seadramon was swallowed by the ghoul and dropped on the ground.
"Seadramon, let's show this egg, who's going to be scrambled!" shouted Sumi. She held up her D-3.
"Seadramon digivolve to…Black Rapidmon!" The black android flashed forward.
"Nightmare Syndrome!" the black ghoul rocketed forward.
"Golden Triangle!" a golden triangular beam shot forward sliced through the ghoul and crashed into the egg's forehead. Black Rapidmon punched forward. "Miracle Missile!" the projectile flew cleanly through the opening in the egg and exploded.
Cracks ran up and down the egg and the stocky legs leaned back and fell. Black Rapidmon dropped to the ground on his curled feet. His black armor glistened in the streaks of unnatural light that flashed in the sky.
"Did you get him?" asked Sumi as she crept forward.
"If he was finished he would have deleted…" replied Black Rapidmon. His ear/wing projects lifted and he grumbled, "My radar is picking up something…."
A crimson streak rushed past them and shot into the port of the egg. Black Rapidmon pointed his cannons forward and growled.
"What?" whispered Sumi.
"Get back," growled Black Rapidmon. The android took a step in front of Sumi.
"What's going on?" shouted Sumi.
"He's digivolving!" roared Black Rapidmon in aggravation. Sumi dropped back in surprise. Otamamon, heck, Motimon never yelled. "Please, Sumi, get back."
A huge German chocolate head rammed through the shell as the blackened egg grew. Black Wings exploded through the calcium barrier. The legs became more bird like and blacked. Arms ruptured forward with long black claws.
"Devitamamon…" hissed Strike Dramon. He cracked his claws. "A Mega digimon, you thought Digitamamon was a rotten egg, this guy is worse! His Black Death Cloud with leave you gagging and his Dazzling Eyes will leave you well, dazed."
"Rapid Fire!" hundreds of missiles exploded into the German Chocolate colored head. The beast growled and slammed his fist down, knocking Black Rapidmon backward.
"Black Death Cloud!" roared the beast and released a large inky black gas.
"Strike Dramon, get the humans out of here!" shouted Black Rapidmon as he was overtaken by the cloud.
"BLACK RAPIDMON!" Sumi reached out as Strike Dramon grabbed her around the mid-rift. "Let me go!"
"I can't!" Strike Dramon snatched up Reese and Carlyle.
"Miracle Missile!" explosions rippled through the cloud.
"Dazzling Eye!" red flashes flickered in the murkiness.
"Black Rapidmon!" shouted TobuCatmon.
"GO!" shouted Black Rapidmon.
"Rapid…ARGH!" shouted the android as the voice of the egg roared.
888
"LET ME GO!" shouted Sumi. She punched and kicked and screamed at Strike Dramon. "LET ME GO BACK TO HIM!"
"I can't do that," said Strike Dramon quietly.
"Out of my way!" shouted Sumi as she pulled free of the dragon.
"Don't do it, Sumi!" called Carlyle. He went after her. "Think this through!"
"There is nothing to think about!" shouted Sumi loudly.
"Please!" returned Carlyle. "Think about it, what will you do when you get there? Devitamamon is a Mega digimon! We don't know what that Black Death Cloud does!"
"It's pretty obvious!" shouted Sumi.
"Think about it, Black Rapidmon is a robot," said Carlyle. He looked sternly at the girl.
She blinked. Her eyes narrowed, "He can't face a Mega digimon alone!"
"That's not the point!" shouted Carlyle. The boy grasped Sumi by the shoulders. "Black Rapidmon, does he breathe?"
"Breathe, of course!" shouted Sumi. Her eyes narrowed, "I think he does, I mean he's a digimon…"
"But he's a robotic digimon, or at least a cyborg…" whispered Carlyle. He looked directly in Sumi's eyes. "I bet he has some sort of air purifier in his chest or something…and remember back when Digitamamon first digivolved…he detected the energy before we could even see it…frankly the two advantages that Devitamamon has, the murkiness of the cloud and the toxin of his Black Death Cloud, have been made quite mute by Black Rapidmon's abilities…"
"Even so…" Sumi looked up with worry.
"Carlyle! I think we have a problem!" shouted the voice of TobuCatmon. "Black Rapidmon has gone quiet!"
"BLACK RAPIDMON!" shouted Sumi but Carlyle grabbed her arm before she could run.
"Please, wait…if we're going in, we're going in together," Sumi nodded quietly.
"Ok…" Carlyle turned and shouted for Strike Dramon and Reese.
"Please be ok, Black Rapidmon," whispered Sumi quietly.

It wasn't that Devitamamon was a hard target to hit, since he was much larger than a house. The evil egg was thrashing about and his skin was much harder than expected. Black Rapidmon's attacks just weren't having any effect, that and Black Rapidmon was exhausted.
"Dazzling Eyes!" red lights shot forward as Black Rapidmon swept through the dark cloud. More organic digimon would have choked to death by now but the scrubbers in Black Rapidmon's chest cleared the air. Black Rapidmon just hoped he didn't de-digivolve to Seadramon or Otamamon.
"BLACK RAPIDMON!" shouted Sumi's voice.
"Dang it!" growled Black Rapidmon.
"Found you…" chuckled Devitamamon as the huge maw rushed forward catching Black Rapidmon around the stomach.
He felt his body lift as he broke the cloud bank. Devitamamon was flying. Sumi and the others were hanging around the edge of the death cloud.
"Black Rapidmon…" Sumi's eyes were watery. "No…"
"I'm fine…Sumi…you have to leave, I can handle this…" wheezed Black Rapidmon.
"You can't do this alone!" shouted Sumi.
"He was doing fine, until you made him speak," chuckled Devitamamon dropping the cyborg.
"That's why he didn't want us around…" gasped Sumi quietly. Her eyes looked down, "He knew he could out maneuver the egg, and he knew that he had an advantage…and I came and ruined it…"
"You came because you cared…" whispered Carlyle quietly.
"My caring got him hurt!" shouted Sumi.
"Sometimes, that happens," replied Carlyle. He looked at her. "But wisdom comes from learning what you did wrong…"
"I should have trusted Black Rapidmon," whispered Sumi quietly. Her D-3 pulsed loudly. She lifted it up. "I should have really trusted him instead of questioning him…" A burst of light flashed forward cutting the cloud.
"Black Rapidmon Mega Digivolve to Black MegaGargomon!" A canine faced machine lifted up. He had thin limbs accentuated by large cylinder like forearms and two large missiles for shoulders. He had cylindrical legs with huge feet. All the metal was covered in black metal. The cylinders around his forearms were like large machine guns. "I am Black MegaGargomon, with the power of Wisdom I digivolved! I'll use my Mega Barrage and my Gargo Missile to put you down, egg head!"
"Dazzling Eyes!" the six red eyes on Devitamamon's head glowed and fired lasers at Black MegaGargomon. The large, dog-like robot shielded himself.
"Mega Barrage!" bullets exploded through the barrels that ran around Black MegaGargomon's wrist. Devitamamon's wings were thrashed and the egg crashed down. The crimson missiles on Black MegaGargomon's shoulders rushed forward. "Gargo Missile!" the missiles smiled and exploded into the egg, shattering the shell. The large android rushed forward. "Power Pummel!" A fist swept up catching Devitamamon's head and then the cannons exploded into action. Devitamamon roared as he deleted into dust.
Black MegaGargomon turned and knelt down. "Do not worry Sumi, nothing was badly damaged, as long as you learned, that is all that matters…"
"Now what?" whispered Reese.
"I don't know…" whispered Carlyle.

"DinoTigemon, be gentle…" chastised Omega as he lowered the egg in front of the large saber-toothed beast.
"Yes, lord Omega," growled the tiger loudly.
Omega looked up. "The last one has digivolved…I must go…It is time they know what is going on at home."
"Are they ready to fight Lucemon?" asked the tiger quietly.
"They have to be…" whispered Omega quietly as he pulled out a D-terminal He typed out loudly as was his manner in such situations. "It is time for the meeting, my friends, meet me at these coordinates." He pressed a button and was covered in a rainbow and disappeared.
DinoTigemon looked down. "It is time for your return…" DinoTigemon glowed brightly and the energy filtered into the egg. A black, armored Ryuudamon was all that was left. The white egg started to crack and a light filtered from the innards.
"Soon, my disciple," whispered a deep voice from in the egg.

Lucemon cursed himself. He should never have let that dang human of darkness get him. He should have killed him right away. He smirked loudly. It didn't matter he had dealt with that Mega even if he had gotten some scratches. He pushed from the building he was leaning on.
Vilemon were running down a street snickering and having fun. Lucemon smiled softly. His minions were so blissfully ignorant of their futures.
"Data to data, from which you came you shall return," whispered the angel as he turned onto the street. He had to rest, but sometimes having fun could be as relaxing as sleeping.
A human was coming he could feel it, a small human that was without his digimon partner. He would have fun. Yes he would have much fun.

"Have to find Bastemon…" whispered Kin under his breath, "can't let her get away."
"Silly human, that wench would want nothing more from you than your soul," whispered a voice quietly. Kin turned and looked angrily at the owner. The owner had golden hair and fair skin. Sky blue eyes glowed softly from their settings. A grey jacket with red and gold trim covered his muscular form. He lifted a white paw. "I on the other hand want your flesh…"
The human gasped softly and staggered back. Twelve large wings unfurled from the creature's back. Kin screamed but the demon's paw was at his throat before any sound could escape.
"I have you, my boy," whispered the demon as he pulled the boy in closer. "And I plan to do much with you…" His claws sunk into the child's flesh. The boy yelped loudly. "Yes, make those frightened sounds!"
"Put him down!" shouted the voices of two women.
"Pathetic…" whispered the demon as he turned. "Do not test me…" He smirked, "Ah, the Chosen Ones…."
"You, ruffian, leave that human boy alone!" shouted the red hawk with the humans.
"Or what?" whispered the demon.
"Or this!" Hawkmon withdrew the feather from his headband. "Beak Buzz Saw!"
A spinning blade flashed up at the demon. The demon flicked his eyebrow up in curiosity and drew the child in front of him as a shield. The boy yelped as the blade sliced his flesh and flew back to Hawkmon.
"Kin!" shouted the woman with tan hair.
"Ah so the boy has a name," the demon smirked softly, "How cute that you name even the weakest of you…" He dropped the human.
"This guy…" Yolei hissed through her lips, "is starting to piss me off!"
Seconds slowed to a halt as Yolei was lifted forcibly off of her feet. The demon had her by the throat. "I can see it in your eyes; you're scared beyond belief…never been this scared before?"
"Yolei!" shouted Kari as she started forward but Gatomon held her back.
Yolei's eyes widened in surprised as the pawed hand tightened around her neck. Her vocal cords felt scrunched but she managed a minute growl, "Let…me…go!"
"But my dear your fear is just delicious…" whispered the demon as he pulled her close. His lips were right against her ear. "Yes it's just wafting off of you, that insurmountable terror."
"I said, 'Let me GO!'" wheezed Yolei.
"Girl, you are in no place to demand things of me…" whispered the demon as he pressed fingers around the side of her neck. "Do you know how easy it would be for me to crush your throat…?"
"Lightning…" there was a flash of movement and the demon had Gatomon by the throat and smiled as the feline tried to bat his hand from her.
"Now, who to destroy first?" whispered the demon as he looked Yolei in the eye. "You?" his eyes turned to Gatomon, "or you?"
"Let the human go!" the feline struggled as it nipped and scratched uselessly at the demon's paws. Gatomon hissed loudly. "Lucemon, let her GO!"
"Nuh, uh, uh…bad kitty!" He threw Gatomon against a building with such force that it left a neat, cat-shaped dent in the brick work. Lucemon took his free hand and lifted his claws up to Yolei's face. "Now, let's see, how loud can I make you scream…"
Yolei did the first thing that came to her mind. She spat in Lucemon's face. The demon smirked softly and drew a single finger up and slid the saliva from his face. Yolei managed a hoarse growl. "You don't scare me!"
"You say that, but you don't mean it," replied the angel as he placed a single claw on the human's cheek.
"Beak Buzz Saw!" The blade bounced off of Lucemon's back. Hawkmon snatched the feather and tried again with no affect.
Yolei bit her lip as the claw slid down her cheek, not yet cutting the surface. Her body was tense and she was too paralyzed to struggle. Lucemon smirked softly returned the claw to the top of her cheek.
"Humanity is such a frail beast," said Lucemon smoothly. He pressed slightly down on her cheek.
"Don't do it, Lucemon!" shouted Kari and she started to run forward but the angel looked at her and some sort of shield leveled in front of her knocking her back.
"As I was saying, before I was interrupted, humanity is such a frail beast, but it is also an annoying one, and one I plan to…" he smirked softly, "do away with."
He increased the pressure that his claw had against Yolei's flesh. The woman gulped hard and closed her eyes trying to brace herself for something excruciating.

Alforce: I don't know, well, this is the last power up chapter. I'm sorry that you won't get to see Vikemon and well…you really got to see Valkyrimon…so really you're only missing out on Shakkoumon's digivolution, and I think I know this chapter isn't as…spectacular as the others, but to tell you the truth, Reliability, Knowledge and Sincerity have always been hard crests to show in the heat of battle…and this fight is extremely fast, but trust me next chapter, we get into the real fights, and well let's just say, coming up the three newest Megas get a chapter and a half of fighting in a battle with…someone… Yes Bastemon is a bit of temptress, I fashioned her character a little more on the clichéd Cleopatra stereotype being man hungry and then using them to get what she wants…
Qiviut: Is this cliffhanger evil? Hehe…and I think now you understand the ADD comment earlier…
The story is starting to role to an end…I think I'm going to be a little strategic about the next posting, because I want to outpost Zero 2…because It's really been a difficult competition for readers, there are three big epics, and a lot of amazing smaller stories, The bigger epics are Alforce's two stories Legends of the Digi-Destined and Vengeance, and Zero 2: The Revision by Sonikuu and then there is the superb, spectacular, Ketsuki No Kisu, by Higuchimon, and people can only put so much effort into reading, so I'm hoping to out post Zero 2 and hopefully snag a couple of his readers once they are done drooling…basically there is approximately, between four and eight chapters left, depending on how far I want to lead into In the Shadow of Chaos…
