Well, I did it! Of course my week didn't exactly turn out as I expected, but that's not the point. Chapter 19 is up and running! Though…goes back and rereads chapter…this has got to be one of the cheesiest things I've written. Well, it has its good points.
Notes about chapter: Like I said above: cheesy. So I'm warning you now. There's two parts, in the beginning with Mummymon's first line (though I think Arukenimon had a nice comeback) and near the end with Davis. More about that at the end. The only thing I feel I should really comment on is MaloMyotismon's 'story' from what I vaguely remember in the season, Owikawa willingly allowed MaloMyotismon into his conscious. That's basically all I can recall so the 'story' might be a little off.
Also, it has come to my attention that a question mark next to an exclamation point no longer works. So whenever you come across a question that has an exclamation point at the end, it's because the question mark was deleted. Not because of an editing problem.
Reviews:
GemmaniGirl: Looks like you didn't have to wait long. As for the Shining Evolution thing, all you really have to know is that their digivices are somehow connected to Calumon, who is basically the Shining Evolution. Did that help? Hope so. Wouldn't want one of my favorite reviewers confused!
DragonKitsune: Glad you thought so! Enjoy!
foxbane: Well, you didn't have to sit back for long! I'm delighted that you thought last chapter was funny! And if you thought last chapter had a big cliffhanger, wait until you finish this one! Hope it isn't too big. Enjoy your reading!
Final Genesis: Heh, trust your urges because you're currently on the right path. winks Hope this chapter meets your expectations!
Shadypenpen: Wow…I'm honored you think so highly of this story. I'm thrilled you enjoyed reading about my vague idea of the alternate realities and digital planes. I originally had a more in-depth explanation, however it sort of got out of hand so I simplified it. Maybe I'll be able to place more in this story, but I'm not entirely sure. Also, how you contributed to this chapter might not be so apparent yet, but it should be by the end. I'll take your advice into consideration, as well. You have a very interesting quote and I hope your own fanfic goes exceedingly well. You've even caught my attention with your OC's title. Good luck and I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the others!
kaze karter: blushes Your faith in my writing is very flattering. I'm no longer succeeding in my mental battle of pride now, lol. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
between-the-stars: sweatdrops If you thought last chapter's cliffhanger was bad…I don't think you're going to like this one. laughs nervously Glad you liked the cream puffs! One of my favorites of that chapter as well! Everyone commented on Mimi's gun-slinging action…and to think I actually missed that part, lol! I really need to see the first season! As for positive reviews? Nope! I think I'm so critical on myself when it comes to my stories that I make up for your lack-of. Enjoy this chapter when you have time! It's alright if it takes you a week or two like last time. No rushes. winks cheerily
warriorseadra: The digidestined join the dark side…gets an image of the DD's wielding lightsabers and everyone forced to wear pink as Susie rules…sweatdrops Thanks for the idea but I think I'll pass for the moment. It's just a little on the creepy/weird side if you get what I mean. Thanks for the review either way! tosses pitchfork into pile of hay lol, couldn't resist. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 19
Revenge is Sweet
"Ah ha! I know where we are!" Davis exclaimed shortly after Kenta had woken up.
"Finally," Mimi grumbled irritably.
Davis ignored her and strode forward, no longer needing to use the light from his digivice to see in the semi-darkness. "Just a turn of a corner and we're th –!"
"Spider Thread!" Davis yelped as the attack wrapped around his torso, pinning his arms to his sides.
"Davis!" Veemon cried out as the spidery form of Arukenimon stepped around the corner, the burnt and spidery form.
Mimi scrunched her nose, "Someone is in desperate need of a makeover."
"Mimi, now's not the time. Poison Ivy!" Palmon shouted, her tendrils curling around Davis' legs.
Mummymon loomed into view behind Arukenimon. "Pull, my love! Pull! Show those brats whose boss!" (1)
"If I weren't preoccupied at the moment you'd be a sizzling heap of centuries old fertilizer!" Arukenimon growled, and then closed her eyes momentarily, asking no one in particular, "Why do I put up with you?"
Palmon yanked Davis in her direction. "Because he's the only being in both worlds that actually likes you!"
"That's not true! Owikawa created us! We are the only ones that understand him!" Arukenimon snarled, yanking Davis back in her direction.
"You actually believe Owikawa cares about you?" Ken laughed bitterly. "Owikawa cares about no one but himself." The boy's eyes darkened briefly. "Take it from someone who knows."
Davis winced as he was pulled in two opposite directions. "I never did like tug-of-war," he grumbled to himself.
"You don't know anything!" Arukenimon shrieked.
"Then why is he always pushing you around? Why does he treat you no better than slaves?" Mimi snapped, strands of pink hair falling in her face as she glared at the digimon.
Mummymon bristled, "He just doesn't know how to show his –"
Ken interrupted him, "His what? His affection? Did you ever stop to think that he doesn't know how to show his affection because he has none? I was evil once, evil cares nothing for affection!"
Davis gritted his teeth against the pain of being stretched in two. "A little help…needed badly…right about now would be good!" he gasped out. Beelzemon glanced over at him.
"When Owikawa's done with you, he's just going to throw you away," Kenta added.
"So what's it going to be? Are you going to stay blind to the end or come out on top?" Mimi challenged, flipping her hair out of her eyes, one hand positioned firmly on her hip.
Davis was turning from deep red to an interesting purple tinge. Beelzemon rolled his eyes and pulled out his guns. "Double Impact!" Arukenimon and Mummymon catapulted into the wall behind them leaving a deep imprint in the stone. The two ultimates fell to the floor motionless.
Mimi spun around and began the tedious task of killing Beelzemon with just the power of her eyes. "What did you do that for!" she hissed venomously.
The mega cocked a gun wordlessly in Davis' direction. The boy in question was sitting on the cold, stone floor rubbing his chest with a pained expression upon his strangely colored facial features. "Davis!" Veemon squeaked guiltily. He and the others had completely forgotten his partner in favor of watching the verbal battle. The blue dinosaur hurried over to the brunette. "Are you okay?"
Davis grimaced, "Peachy." He squinted over at Beelzemon. "Thanks." The mega nodded.
Ken helped his friend stand. Davis waved him off as his face turned back to its normal color. "I'm fine, I'm fine! Maybe a few inches taller, but that's cool!" the boy said grinning his regular cheeky grin. "Let's get going! The others are probably worried by now!"
Mimi smirked coyly, "Especially a certain blonde."
Davis flushed brick red again, but this time it was not from lack of oxygen.
Davis stared into the dark interior of the cathedral-like room. It was dead silent.
"Davis, something is seriously wrong here," Mimi whispered from behind the younger boy.
Beelzemon stiffened, an animalistic rage emanating from his three eyes. "He's here."
Kenta gulped, clenching MarineAngemon to his chest nervously, "Who's here?"
A snake-like hiss passed the mega's lips, "Lucemon."
A high, lilting voice chuckled, "Close, but not quite correct."
The groups' eyes were drawn to a tall figure in the shadows. A vibrant light suddenly lit up the darkened area, though traces of the black fog still lingered.
What looked like a cross between a teenage version of Lucemon, an angel, and a demon stood before them. However, it was the gigantic form next to the fallen-angel digimon which caused Mimi to grow pale and gasp.
"Myotismon," she murmured even as Palmon stepped defensively in front of her partner.
"Allow me to introduce myself," the fallen-angel smiled with chilly amusement, "I am Lucemon Chaos Mode. My colleague over here is MaloMyotismon."
Davis stared in disbelief at the newly dubbed MaloMyotismon, "Just how many of you guys are trying to wring our necks!"
Ken grabbed the brunette's shoulder, "Davis…"
The boy in question glanced at Ken in surprise before following the other's gaze, and gasped. Strewn across the floor behind the two digimon were the Digidestined, the Tamers, the Chosen, and their digimon in a variety of levels, though rookie was the most prominent.
"Wha-What did you…do to them!" Mimi cried, horrified.
Lucemon smirked delightedly, "Do? Why my dear girl, we simply retaliated! Your idiotic friends were foolish enough to actually think they were a match for us!"
Mimi face was overcome with righteous anger as she spun around to venomously confront MaloMyotismon. "You! We defeated you! How did you survive!"
MaloMyotismon leered unpleasantly, "When you defeated me four years ago, my essence, or my soul, housed itself inside the bitter consciousness of the human you know as Owikawa." The kids and digimon stared in shock at the prone form of their former foe which lay a few feet off to the side. "Through his desire to enter the Digital World, I controlled him. His thoughts, his emotions, all were manipulated by me. In time, he began to notice my presence and fought, but by then I was far too strong and took complete control over his body. However," MaloMyotismon turned an amused glance towards the collapsed children and digimon behind him, "when your friends graciously sent their most powerful attacks at us, we absorb the data and evolved. I was even granted a new, and more powerful, body."
Davis glared at the two, "We won't let you get away with this!"(2)
Lucemon giggled and gazed at Davis with twinkling eyes filled with mirth, "But we already did."
Davis growled and held up his digivice, "Veemon! You – huh?" The boy broke off in surprise as Beelzemon stepped forward.
"My fight is with Lucemon. I'll ask you once not to interfere," Beelzemon said not looking from Lucemon to address the boy.
Davis started, "But –"
"No Davis," Ken interrupted shaking his head at his companion, "He can handle himself. We've got other foes to fight."
After a moment of indecision Davis nodded in agreement. Mimi tossed her head imperiously, "Let's teach this guy what a bad idea it is to mess with the Digidestineds! Palmon go!"
"Palmon digivolve to…Togemon! Togemon digivolve to…Lillymon!"
Davis grinned, "We're not about to let you have all the fun. Ready Veemon?"
Veemon gave an affirmative as the Shining Digivolution burst from Davis' D-3, "Veemon digivolve to…ExVeemon!"
Davis' and Ken's eyes locked and a silent agreement passed through them.
"Wormmon digivolve to…Stingmon!"
"ExVeemon! Stingmon! DNA digivolve to…Paildramon! Paildramon digivolve to…Imperialdramon! Imperialdramon mode change to…Imperialdramon Fighter Mode!"
Kenta gawked at the new digimon, pressing his slipping glasses back up his nose in utter shock. Even MarineAngemon was ogling at Imperialdramon. "He just…you and…and they did…with a…how…?" tumbled the bewildered words from the teen's mouth.
Mimi smiled amused and patted him patronizingly on the back. Ken smirked one of his old smirks, the ones he used back when he was the Digimon Emperor. He stared mockingly at a silent MaloMyotismon. "Ready when you are." MaloMyotismon snarled.
Off to the side, Lucemon studied the digimon in front of him. "The dark spore has been removed," he stated. "Where is it now, I wonder?"
Beelzemon sneered as pulled his guns from their sheaths. "Back in the Dark Ocean where it belongs. You're going to pay for everything you've put me through. So let's get started."
(1): I wasn't feeling my best at the time I wrote that. However, when I reread that section I couldn't take out the cheesy part due to the fact it would've messed up the rest of the scene. glares at Mummymon's line I swear he had a Pokemon James moment there…is my memory kaput or do Mummymon and James actually sound alike…grows disturbed
(2): utterly mortified I can't believe I wrote that. I can't believe I just wrote the one most used line ever vocalized. I think I'm coming down with something. grabs thermometer…
So…I think that's one of the worst cliffhangers I've ever written. Either way chapter 19 is done. I have no idea when chapter 20 will be up. I haven't even written a page on it yet. So I'm warning you now. I have absolutely no confidence in my punctuality.
Review please! They're the only reason I'm writing this!
