I don't own Digimon
Things that Shouldn't be Done

"There he goes!" shouted Gatomon. Wizardmon dove in low under the tree line. He looked back. Mud Frigimon was still a good deal behind them.
They shot out of the forest onto the barren path that led to the palace on top of Infinity Mountain. Wizardmon touched down, put Gatomon down and ran. Gatomon dropped down and ran next to him.
"He's up ahead..." Wizardmon stopped. Gatomon looked up and saw them. Tree stumps blocked their way. The stumps turned. They had large glowing eyes.
"Woodmon..." whispered Gatomon.
"Stop, no one will enter the palace of Boogeymon," growled the largest of the stumps.
"Not even his loyal servant, Gatomon?" asked the cat. The stumps looked at the cat. "I have brought a prisoner..."
"Boogeymon wants no one to interfere," growled the stump.
"Gatomon," whispered Wizardmon. "Close your eyes and tell know one that I did this..."
"Did what?" returned Gatomon in a hushed voice.
"Just close your eyes..." repeated Wizardmon. The cat consented and its eyes closed. Wizardmon lifted his hand, "Visions of Terror!" a black fog flooded over the Woodmon. The stumps screamed in terror and as the fog lifted they stood there petrified. Wizardmon touched Gatomon's shoulder, "It is safe to open your eyes now..." The cat opened them to see the Woodmon frozen in a black shadow.
"What...did you do?" asked Gatomon shocked.
"Something very...unpleasant," replied Wizardmon and he drew his cloak together and walked between the Woodmon statues.

"Lord Boogeymon," whispered the voice of Nohemon. "I bring a gift to you..."
Boogeymon turned slowly. A black bird was standing upon a statue. The statue had large ruffled ears.
"I bring you the Statue of Calumon," hissed the bird. "It has with in its capabilities to unleash the power of digivolution upon anyone that can summon the power..."
"How do we activate it?" asked Boogeymon. He looked hungrily at the statue.
The crow lifted up and the statue glowed. A swirl of neon swept underneath the bird and the scarecrow was replaced. The human body turned and lifted the statue up and presented it to Boogeymon, "You only need to claim its power as your own." Nohemon whispered.
Boogeymon reached out and grasped the statue. The stone pulsed. "I claim this statue and the power with in it!" called Boogeymon. The statue pulsed. The shock ran up the devil's arm. A cold smile ran across Boogeymon's face.
"Stop!" Boogeymon's face turned to a snarl. His head whipped around. A Wizardmon and a Gatomon were standing upon the threshold of his throne room.
"Guards..." roared Boogeymon.
"I wouldn't waste your breath..." said Wizardmon his eyes flashed a deep emerald. "They have been persuaded to take a nap..."
"Nohemon..." growled the devil loudly. The scarecrow drew up his bow and arrow.
"William's..." started the scarecrow.
"Thunder Ball!" an orange orb shot forward sending the bow clattering off into the shadows. Wizardmon lifted his staff. "Magical Games!" the strip of blue lashed forward reaching for the crow. The bird lifted off of the scarecrow leaving the body limp.
Boogeymon held up the statue. "This is over now!" growled the devil. The statue turned dark and pulsed. Boogeymon's slouching form straightened, his pot belly tensed and flattened. His height grew and his arms and legs strengthened. His purple wings elongated and blackened. His horns slid forward and upwards and his face became more Romanesque with a strong jaw.
"No..." growled Wizardmon. He leapt at Boogeymon.
"Fool!" the devil cracked his trident against the wizard. "Phelesmon will not be stopped..., not even those brats can stop me....!"
"Wizardmon!" Gatomon ran up to Phelesmon. "Lightning Claw!"
Phelesmon caught Gatomon in mid jump. He snickered and tossed the cat away. "Black Statue!" Phelesmon opened his claws and whips of black lightning wrapped around Gatomon. They lifted leaving an onyx statue of Gatomon.
"Gatomon..." Wizardmon stood up and looked at the devil. "You will pay..."
"You have strong words, but I doubt you have the power to back them up," chuckled Phelesmon.
"Magical Games!" Wizardmon flashed his staff forward. Lightning ripped forward in waves lashing the devil, Phelesmon.
"It would be amusing if it wasn't so pathetic..." chuckled Phelesmon. He stepped forward and opened his mouth, "Demon Shout!" a stream of black energy washed forward slamming Wizardmon to a wall. The devil lifted his trident. Black tendrils slashed at Wizardmon. "Black Statue!" The tendrils receded. A smooth black statue of Wizardmon was imbedded in the wall. Phelesmon turned. He pressed a button on his thrown. "Impmon, Demi Devimon, come here immediately! I have an important job for you!"

The children looked up at the large mountain. The Gotsumon had nearly died of shock when eight humans landed in their humble little village. Michelle had never been so closely attended to in her life. They refused to allow the children to split up again and told them to all rest. The Gotsumon hid from Jason when he dropped down, and started to rant about the evils of orange clothes. Brendan and Kevin were with the elder Gotsumon.
"So..." Brendan looked at the old rock digimon. "You saw them?"
"Yes, Wizardmon flew over not very long ago," said the Elder. He looked out the window, "I worry though, because the darkness has increased around the peak since then. These old bones feel a nasty power building."
"Boogeymon has the Statue of Calumon," whispered Kevin. Suddenly the boy's fist struck the table knocking the pitcher that was resting on the table top over. "We should've been able to stop this from even happening! We need to go now!"
"Child, it is not..." started the Elder.
"Look, we screwed up big time!" shouted Kevin angrily. "He has that statue and now he's going to have the 'power' what ever it is!"
"Is there anyway up that mountain?" asked Brendan. He turned his attention to the old digimon.
"There is a trail but it is only accessible near the palace...you'd have to climb up to it..." replied the Gotsumon.
"Then we have no choice but to fly," said Kevin. His eyes narrowed. "It is time we met Boogeymon on our terms!"
"Wait..." The Gotsumon whispered.
"No, no more waiting," shouted Kevin. He looked at the Elder. "We waited and it nearly got Jason killed, we searched out the others before getting to the temple and the statue got stolen! I fear what would happen if we waited again!" with that Kevin marched out of the hut.
Brendan looked at the Gotsumon. "I apologize...for his..."
"Do not, he is correct," said the Gotsumon. "An old digimon like me has left the realm of active participation, and have forgotten what it was like to actually be in the fight...You should go..."
Brendan nodded slowly and left the old digimon alone in the hut.

Kevin came upon the others. They were in the middle of the village lounging at the tables around the square.
"We need to go now!" called Kevin. The others looked up. He looked at them all, "It's time we took the offensive."
"Now?" asked Amy she looked at Penguinmon and then at Kevin, "We just..."
"I know, but we have been just waiting for him to come to us or things to happen, it's time we decide what happens!" said Kevin. He looked at all the children one at a time, "Together we can beat him!"
The children nodded. Amy looked at Penguinmon. "Are you ready?"
"I'm ready when you're ready!" chirped Penguinmon.
"Otamamon?" Jason looked down at his partner.
"I am always ready when you need me," said Otamamon quietly.
"You are leaving then," the Elder's voice came from behind the children. "Boogeymon will be your most dangerous challenge."
"Boogeymon can not stand against us," said Renamon quietly.
"Yeah, we nearly had him, if it hadn't been for his pet..." Janet growled softly.
"He will not be destroyed so easily," said the Elder. "His power will only increase...I warn you not to take him lightly."
"Ok..." replied the children half heartedly.
The Gotsumon sighed. He watched as the Penguinmon and Otamamon digivolved to their champion forms and the children and the rest of the rookies climbed on. The bird gave a flap and lifted off. The dragon circled above the square and twisted up into the sky.

It was relaxing being in the sky. Jason looked down. The trees started to thin out. The trees that were left were spindly and leafless. The air was cold. Jason gave a little shiver.
Stephen and Mark were behind him, with Lucemon and Ryuudamon. Janet was also back there cuddled close to Renamon. Jason looked up ahead. Swirling black clouds confronted him.
"It looks like it's getting darker," called Jason to Seadramon.
"Something big is up there," returned Seadramon. He growled softly, "something big and bad..."
"The trail!" called Saberdramon. The children looked down. A trail curled up the mountain side.
"Bring us down Seadramon," called Stephen, "We can walk the rest of the way."
The large sea serpent descended down and the children leapt from its back and onto the path. Saberdramon glided down and dropped her cargo off as well.
"Children?" Mud Frigimon was running up to them from down the trail.
"Mud Frigimon!" Mark ran up and hugged the large chocolate giant. He looked around, "Where's Wizardmon and Gatomon?"
"Those two must've gone on ahead," said Mud Frigimon. He narrowed his eyes. "I don't like it..." He looked up at the clouds, "Those there clouds have just been getting' darker and more nasty lookin'."
"Then let's get up there and see what's going on!" Kevin turned and with Snow Agumon he ran up the trail.

"This is stupid," growled Impmon. He looked up at the pedestal Phelesmon had put the statue on. "Sitting here to watch a stupid Statue...it's not like it is going anywhere."
"The lord and master must not be questioned," retorted Demi Devimon. "Especially now that he is Phelesmon."
"Don't get your wings in a bunch," returned Impmon. He looked up at the statue. "The master digivolved...maybe..." Impmon reached up.
"What are you doing!" Demi Devimon dropped down and tackled Impmon, "that's master's!"
"Your point?" growled Impmon.
"His point is that," growled a voice "it is mine and if you touch it without my permission, you'll make a nice onyx paper weight, Impmon."
Impmon turned and looked up. Phelesmon was staring directly at the purple digimon. Nohemon was behind him.
"Phelesmon, master!" Demi Devimon hopped forward, "No one has tried to touch the statue...well except for Impmon but he was thwarted..."
"You idiot, there's no one here to take it!" Impmon growled.
"Soon, the humans will be here," growled Phelesmon. He looked back at Nohemon. "Nohemon spotted them on patrol."
"So when do we strike!?" asked Demi Devimon with glee.
"We...don't" replied Phelesmon. He turned. "We'll let them think they have finally come to destroy me...and then we'll turn them all to statues..."
"So when they kick our butts in our own house we won't have any self respect left," grumbled Impmon. He folded his arms over his chest.
"Oh...Impmon if you truly wish to stay out of this fight, it can be arranged," said Phelesmon. "You would make a fine addition to my little collection of modern art..."

They had walked the path and now the sun was setting and darkness truly claimed the trail. The lack luster resistance they were meeting really worried Lucemon that is until they had met the petrified Woodmon. Something made Lucemon shudder upon seeing them. Some one or something had cut a path for them. It really didn't matter because soon they were at the front gates. They were deliberating on how to open the door when Mud Frigimon rushed forward.
"Heavy Punch!" Mud Frigimon slammed his fist against the large gates. The metal and wood hinges snapped and twisted as the doors wrenched open.
"Snow Agumon Digivolve to Shima Unimon!" The zebra digimon leapt over Mud Frigimon and into the courtyard of the castle.
"Ryuudamon Digivolve to Ginryuumon!" The long necked dragon pushed past the chocolate giant.
"Tapirmon digivolve to Dobermon!" the large black, spiked pinscher's claws clicked on the brick work as he charged past the plump mud digimon.
"Renamon digivolve to Youkomon!" The large purple fox glided over the battlements and landed in the courtyard.
"Labramon digivolve to D'Archmon!" the angel glided upwards and hovered over the courtyard.
The kids rushed into the large courtyard. It was built with large bricks. Leafless plants and vines were shriveled up around the walls. An empty pond sat under a dilapidated fountain. The midsection of the courtyard sported a pedestal.
"The Statue of Calumon!" gasped Mark. The statue was different now. It was black and the jewel was no long ruby but a poison purple color. Three sentries stood in front of the statue Nohemon, Demi Devimon and Impmon.
"Hand over the statue," shouted Kevin. He clenched his fist, "or else!"
The bat smirked. Impmon gave a gruff sound of disinterest and Nohemon only drew his bow and arrow.
"I take it that you aren't going to give it up," said Stephen. He looked up at his partner. "Well so be it...Ginryuumon!"
"Armor Piercing Blade!" roared the dragon and unleashed a slice of energy from his helmet.
"William's Arrow!" hissed Nohemon as he let the projectile loose. The two struck each other and exploded.
"Wild Thunder!" growled Shima Unimon.
"Schwarz Strahl!" howled Dobermon.
"Jaenryuu!" roared Youkomon.
"La Pucelle!" called D'Archmon.
"Mach Shadow!" large shadow meteors rained down on the trio.
"Ice Blast!" a wave of frost swept towards the three digimon sentinels.
The crow on the scarecrow's shoulder leapt from its perch and glided free. Lucemon looked up and gritted his teeth, "No you don't, Divine Feat!" a beam of light struck the bird and sent it spiraling into the castle.
Impmon and Demi Devimon fell backwards and looked up at the champions standing in front of them.
"Give it up," shouted Janet.
"You can't win," added Amy. "You're outnumbered and out powered!"
"Heh...you obviously haven't seen Master Phelesmon..." chuckled Demi Devimon.
"Phelesmon?" the kids looked at each other. "I thought you followed Boogeymon."
"Phelesmon is Boogeymon's Ultimate form..." said Impmon. He looked at the kids. "You're no match."
"We still have you outnumbered!" returned Kevin.
"In the end it won't matter," said a deep smooth voice. A large figure stepped from the shadows.
"Woah..." Jason looked at the newcomer. "Boogeymon's been on some steroids..."
"I am Phelesmon," announced the being. He had a strong jaw and a very tough looking face. His body was hard and toned and his arms were larger and stronger looking. His clawed hand gripped his trident which looked much more impressive than before. "And you are finished..."
"Oh yeah that's original!" replied Kevin.
"Let's get him guys!" called Shima Unimon. The zebra launched forward with its horn lowered, "Wild Thunder!"
"Armor Piercing Blade!" roared Ginryuumon.
Seadramon dove down; he opened his mouth, "Ice Blast!"
"Black Saber!" Saberdramon released a black blade as she rose up into the sky.
"Jaenryuu!" Youkomon dove in close as her twin dragons drilled Phelesmon.
"Battlement D'Amor!" The angel slammed her staff down releasing a strike of holy lightning.
"Schwarz Strahl!" a beam of black energy shot forward as the large dog galloped forward.
The dust cleared. Phelesmon chuckled darkly as he snatched Youkomon by her tails and flung her at Dobermon and Shima Unimon. He whipped open his wings and shot into the sky and grabbed Seadramon and swung him around ramming the sea serpent's head into Saberdramon and then dropping the large snake on Ginryuumon. D'Archmon dove down on him; her swords drawn. Phelesmon swung around with his trident catching the two blades with the handle of the trident.
He drew in close and smiled evilly, "When a demon shouts an angel loses her wings..."
"What are you babbling about?" growled D'Archmon.
"Demon Shout!" Phelesmon opened his mouth unleashing a tidal wave of dark energy.
D'Archmon was sent flying backwards and she dropped in a sharp arc crashing into the ground. The kids looked in shock as their digimon struggled to get up.
"Pathetic..." chuckled the demon. He turned and looked at them.
"He's so strong..." whispered Mark.
"We're strong too..." replied Lucemon. The angel's head turned, "We need that statue, and if we could get it we might be able to turn the tables on him..."
Mark nodded and grabbed Lucemon's arm. "Then let's get it!"
"But..." Lucemon looked shocked but before he could say anything Mark was dragging him across the courtyard to the statue.
"Demi Dart!" shouted the bat.
"Divine Feat!" returned Lucemon releasing a blaze of light at the bat.
"Bada..." Impmon caught the look in Lucemon's eyes. "Ah...never mind..." Impmon backed off and ran for it. Demi Devimon was sent spiraling into a wall. Mark made a grab at the statue when a large red muscular wall dropped down in front of him. Mark fell back sprawled in front of the devil.
"Brat, I grow weary of you," Phelesmon spun his trident in his hand so the tines pointed down at the boy. "You, die now!"
"Mark!" Lucemon leapt as he saw the blades drop down. "It's happening...it's for real...Lucemon....Digivolve to...Pidmon!"
Suddenly a golden staff was jabbed into Phelesmon's stomach. The devil dropped back the tines slammed down into the ground inches from Mark's body. Mark looked up. An adult angel glided in front of the boy. Two large silky white wings were unfurled. A white body suit covered the angel's figure. A large metallic helmet was on his head and his hair was a rich golden color, like butterscotch. A red ribbon wrapped itself around him.
"Fool, one more pathetic creature will not save you!" growled Phelesmon. He opened his hand and his trident flew to him. The devil stood and laughed and lifted the trident up. The swirling masses of clouds rumbled loudly.
"Mark, get outta there!" shouted Mud Frigimon. He ran forward and ran at Phelesmon. "Heavy Punch!" The chocolate giant swung but the demon was faster and caught the punch in the palm of his hand.
"I have also grown weary of your intrusion..." growled Phelesmon. He drew his trident down. "Black Statue!" Mud Frigimon was covered in black energy. It swept from him leaving only a large smooth black statue of the digimon in the place of the real one.
"Mud Frigimon!" Mark jumped up.
"Foolish creature..." growled Phelesmon.
Pidmon dropped down. He looked back at the other champions. He looked up at Phelesmon. He growled softly and dove at the demon. "Fire Feather!" the feathers, like missiles, shot forward. Every one of them blazed like a small sun. They exploded into Phelesmon. The digimon roared savagely as the attack slammed into him.
Phelesmon stood angrily. Fire flashed in his eyes and a sneer covered his face. He lifted his trident to the sky eliciting another roar from the clouds. "Now you shall see my true power! Hell Storm!"
The sky erupted. A river of red lightning slammed into the ground from the clouds. The lightning cut into the brick work like a laser and ran towards the kids. Youkomon dove in and snatched up Janet. Shima Unimon and Ginryuumon snatched their children. D'Archmon glided in just in time to catch Michelle as the beam of lightning sliced past. Seadramon and Saberdramon struggled to stay in the air and catch their children.
Suddenly a second bolt slammed into the ground. It sliced right in front of Mark. The boy screamed loudly and Pidmon turned. The angel went to catch the child but Phelesmon grabbed him from behind.
"No, angel, your human shall fall now," growled the demon. Pidmon struggled against the demon and slammed his elbow in Phelesmon's solar plexus affording him a chance to escape. Pidmon shot forward and pushed Mark out of the way as the strike of lightning crashed down on him.
"Pidmon!" Mark turned. There was nothing there. Only smoke and crimson sparks of lightning. "No...it should've been me! You've protected me...I should've protected you!" Mark ran up to the crater, with in it laid the crumpled form of Pidmon. Mark jumped down to the side of the angel. "Please Pidmon.... Please...don't die...please...Lucemon...please...you don't deserve to die!"
"I disagree human!" growled Phelesmon. The devil was standing at the edge of the crater his trident poised to give the killing blow.
"Mark!" shouted Stephen. Suddenly Mark's vision was obscured by the figure of Ginryuumon as he tackled the demon.
"Demon Shout!" roared the devil sending Ginryuumon head over heels.
"Jaenryuu!" a pair of blazing dragons twisted past. A strike of black lightning was sent back.
"La Pucelle!" Pink strikes of energy shot from several vectors but the sounds of Phelesmon's counterstrike didn't bode well.
"Grau Realm!" roared Dobermon but the dog was sent hurtling over the crater.
"Wild Thunder!" called Shima Unimon
"Ice Blast!" added Seadramon
"Mach Shadow!" shadowy strikes flew over head.
"Demon Shout!" retorted Phelesmon's voice. The digi-destined Digimon yelped in pain as the dark wind washed passed. Again Phelesmon was at the edge of the crater. His trident was poised. "No, more games, this ends now! Pidmon, you were a pathetic adversary, so now you die!"
"No!" Mark leapt on top of the angel as the tines dove down. Mark could only focus the sharp points of each of the tines.

AN: Two chapters for the price of one, and well three since chapter 20 was posted the same day. I'm sorry for the Chapter Fudging around, Fanfic and my possible internet connection are mussing my chapter loading up! But anyways. As you can see, no Angemon dues ex mechina...well yet...hopefully we'll get the next one done soon enough. I hope the next chapter doesn't chuff anyone too badly. Really I did plan for this to be two chapters but the second half was a far too short for my taste.
See you till next time....
