Gatomon, Evil Gatomon, had returned to Lord Beta's castle after leaving the sewers. She was immediately ordered to attend the Council of Five meeting room. Gatomon didn't like this. She had never been in the Council of Five meeting room, no one but Council members are allowed in. But she followed orders just like a good soldier. She entered the room with a bit of anticipation.

"Come in Gatomon." Myotismon was sitting down in a solid oak chair. He sat at a solid black ebony table, embroidered in a gold pentagram. Two of the other chairs were occupied, one by Epsilon, the plant humanoid digimon named Lillymon, and the other by Gamma, the blond haired human child called Matt.

"As you wish Lord Beta." Gatomon came in, shutting the door behind her. The room was pitch black except for a spotlight over the table. She didn't like this, had she been found guilty for leaving her place as a spy? She had no choice, they must know that.

"Have a seat." Lillymon pointed to one of the chairs, with the Greek letter Alpha engraved into it.

"I shouldn't, that's Lord Alpha's." Alpha was the last one she wanted to cross, he was the most powerful out of all of them, and the only Mega digimon left, as far as she knew.

"Oh, I don't think he'll mind." Matt smiled as if in on some private joke.

Gatomon didn't press the point further. She sat in the chair, feeling out of place. The three council members were staring at her. Gatomon didn't know what to do or say, until Ladydevimon's holographic form popped out of the table. "Hello Gatomon."

Gatomon was now very nervous. Few had ever had the privilege of speaking to Ladydevimon, and many who did never spoke again. Gatomon got on her knee still on the chair, hoping to please her. "Yes Empress?"

"I've had my eye on you for some time." Ladydevimon smiled. "I know all about you. I probably know you better than you know yourself."

(Oh no), Gatomon thought, (I'm dead.) Gatomon thought about running, but with two ultimate digimon in the room, plus with who knows how many outside, she'd be cut to ribbons. Gatomon opted for complete and utter compliance. Maybe she would be spared deletion. "Have I displeased you Ladydevimon?"

"Far from it." Ladydevimon bent down and ran a holographic finger over Gatomon's chin. "I actually owe you an apology. I believe that my perceptions of you were clouded from the Gatomon from the original time line. I believed that you would one day betray me because of that."

"I am nothing like that weakling!" Gatomon snapped, then covered her mouth, expecting to be punished for speaking out of turn.

"I know that now. You sneaking into the digidestined had a second purpose. To test your loyalties. I needed to make sure that your allegiance would not shift." Ladydevimon stood up on the table, her form flickering briefly.

"I have always been loyal." Gatomon stood up in the chair. "I thought I proved that years ago to Myotismon."

"And now I am sure of it. You passed the test with flying colors. And with good timing to. It seems Alpha has truly been deleted." Ladydevimon snickered.

"You mean Alpha has actually been killed? I assumed it was a ploy of some sort on your part." Gatomon was surprised. Alpha was a Mega digimon; he should be in no danger from the digidestined.

"The details are a bit sketchy. Delta is still posing as their Cody, so he has not filled us in on what happened. But it does not matter. The end result is the same. The fool was following his own agenda. He deserved to be deleted." Ladydevimon shook her head. "But that's good news for you. It leaves an opening in the Council of Five. For someone powerful, intelligent and loyal to me. And you fit all three requirements. Congratulations Gatomon, or should I say Alpha?"

Gatomon was speechless for a bit. "I'm the new Alpha?"

"Welcome aboard." Lillymon smiled at Gatomon. "We need some more female blood in this little group."

"And that's not all, not only to you get full control over Alpha's forces, but I have something special for you." A hatch popped open in the desk, and a small device with a screen and two buttons appeared in front of Gatomon. Ladydevimon motioned to the device. "Take it."

Gatomon complied, pawing the strange apparatus in her palm. "What is this?" she said, as it began to glow brightly. Gatomon's first instinct was to throw it away. Then she felt a power, some that charged ever fiber of her being with energy. Her body began to twist and morph. Golden hair flowed from her head, wings sprouted from her back. When the transformation was almost completed, she opened her eyes. A helmet was over them, but she could see through it as if she was looking through glass. Words involuntarily formed don her lips, "Gatomon digivolve to.ANGEWOMON!" Angewomon looked down at her new form. "What happened?" Angewomon was staring intently at her new form

"Angewomon. That digivice there had been fused with a crest tuned to your specific code, allowing your ultimate transformation." Ladydevimon described.

"It's such a rush the first time you do it." Lillymon smiled, holding her own digivice in her hand.

Angewomon smiled, letting out a little chuckle. The power she had as Gatomon was nothing compared to what she felt now. She believed could take on both Lillymon and Myotismon right if she wanted to, her power trip was so great.

Myotismon nodded slightly. "You have been a good servant. It is a shame to lose you, but you have proved yourself worthy in Ladydevimon's eyes to serve with me, not for me. But on to other matters. Ladydevimon has alerted the digidestined to our planned executions. They should be attacking her main base in Mount Fuji shortly."

"Exactly. I want you all to be at my base in two hours. Based on the flying speed of their digimon, they should not be there before then. I'll see you all there." Ladydevimon looked at Angewomon. "It'll be a great honor for you Angewomon. You will get to see the leader of the Council of Five with your own eyes. Only Epsilon, Beta, and Gamma here have had the privilege of doing so. You should be proud."

"I am." Angewomon ran her hands over her hips. "And I can't wait to try out this new form." Ladydevimon chuckled as the screen clicked off.

"I have preparations to make back at my lair." Myotismon got up to leave.

"Same here." Lillymon left after Myotismon. "See you at Ladydevimon's. Sure to be a blast."

"I imagine." Matt got up off his chair as the two ultimate digimon left. He held out his hand to Angewomon. "Congratulations. I never like the old Alpha anyway."

"Thank you Lord Gamma." Angewomon shook his hand.

"You're Alpha now. You don't need to call us Lord or master anymore." Matt reminded as he brought his hand back.

"Oh, of course. Old habits die hard. Sorry." Angewomon apologized.

"And you don't need to apologize either. We're in charge, and we do what we want." Matt smiled as he offered his arm to Angewomon. "Shall we?"

Angewomon took his arm. "I think I will enjoy my new position."

Matt and Angewomon walked out of the Council of Five's meeting room. "I'm sure you will. We have the whole world to ourselves, after we stop the digidestined."
