DAEMON'S REIGN OF VENGENCE

BY HOWLING WOLF

The digital world…

Daemon laughed wickedly as he loaded Zhuqiaomon's data. Already the demon lord could feel his strength increasing. Grinning behind his cloak Daemon knew that the time to extract his revenge had come at last.

"Come MarineDevimon, I think it's time to pay our respects to the digidestined." Said Daemon.

The two viruses left unaware of the small pink blob that was behind them. Sensing that a possible meal had escaped the small blob slowly began to eat away at the surroundings. Growing as it did so.

The real world, Southern Quadrant…

The monster makers had spent all of their time trying to find out why both Yamaki and Suzie had vanished. The closest theory they had was Shibumi's suggestion that they had gotten caught in some sort of bridge between the two worlds. However the attempts to get any information from the digital world had been unsuccessful.

"I just don't understand it. We should be able to get at least a small idea of what's going on." Janyu muttered as he typed furiously at his computer.

Elsewhere…

"Tai I think we might have a problem." Said Izzy.

Tai frowned. "What is it Izzy?"

"I just got an e-mail from Yolei. Vikaralamon managed to get away from them. She wants to know if we've taken care of Chatsuramon yet." Said Izzy.

Letting out a sigh Tai ran his fingers through his hair. The older digidestined had had no luck in finding Chatsuramon.

"Hey Izzy tell Yolei and the others that I'll be joining them as soon as I can." Replied Tai.

"Uh Tai is that a good idea?" asked Joe.

"I'm the best one to go. If we all go Chatsuramon might show up some where else." Said Tai.

Izzy wanted to argue but he knew that Tai had a point. All of them going to fight Vikaralamon could be exactly what chatsuramon was waiting for.

"Just be careful Tai. These devas don't seem to care if they anybody." Said Izzy.

Grinning Tai nodded as he and Agumon ran off.

Vikaralamon continued to march through the city. Those annoying digidestined of Azulongmon's had merely slowed him down slightly. However the pig deva wondered where his remaining fellow devas were.

"Hey pig breath!"

Stopping, Vikaralamon stared in surprise at the human that was standing in front of him. An Agumon standing near the human made Vikaralamon snort. Another digidestined interfering with Lord Zhuqiaomon's plans.

"Step aside digidestined. I must fulfill the commands of my sovereign." Said Vikaralamon.

Tai shook his head. "No way. If you keep going than innocent people could hurt."

Enough was enough, as far as Vikaralamon was concerned. He could waste no more time. The human and his pet digimon were an obstacle that could no longer be tolerated.

"Fusion Ball!"

Barely dodging the attack Tai gripped his digivice. 'Guess talking is out then.' He thought. Nodding to Agumon Tai held his digivice high.

Augmon warp digivolve to...

Quickly Agumon morphed through his different stages until he reached his mega level.

...Wargreymon.

"All right piggy, the pork stops here." said Wargreymon.

Tai shook his head. There were times when he wished Agumon didn't hang around Veemon and Davis so much.

"Boar Bog!"

Unlike the previous encounter with the younger digidestined, Vikaralamon's attack did not even slow Wargreymon down. Using his Great Tornado attack Wargreymon spun around at incredible speed and cut through the thick bog and straight towards Vikaralamon.

"N...No you can't!" Vikaralamon screamed as Wargreymon ripped right through him.

Wargreymon shook his head in regret as behind him Vikaralamon exploded into data.

"Good job buddy. And it looks like Davis and the others are about to arrive." said Tai.

In the distance Wargreymon could see the younger digdestined running towards them. Above them unnoticed, Daemon and MarineDevimon appeared from the digital world.

'Oh yes the perfect digidestined to begin my revenge with.' Daemon thought evilly. 'And with the new digidestined as witnesses as well.'

"I shall take care of these pest. MarineDevimon I shall leave the tamer Jeri to you. With her captured the other tamers will be too busy to aid the digidestined." said Daemon.

Davis couldn't help but grin as he and the others ran towards Tai and Wargreymon. It looked like Vikaralamon hadn't expected to run into a mega.

"Looks like Izzy got my e-mail huh, Cody?" said Yolie.

"Yeah. But I wonder if he and the others have found Chatsuramon yet." said Cody.

"Don't worry about it Cody. They probably already dealt with him." commented Davis.

Above them on their own digimon, TK and Kari smiled as they listened to their friends argue. However none of them were prepared for what happened next.

"Evil Inferno!" the attack headed straight for Wargryemon and Tai.

Acting quickly Wargreymon pushed Tai out of the way just as the attack hit him. Struggling to get up Tai's eyes widened with fear as he saw Daemon holding an unconscious Agumon by the neck.

"Agumon!" cried Tai as he tried to stand.

"Ah, digidestined of courage. Did you lose something? Perhaps this pathetic digimon that you call a partner." sneered Daemon.

"Let him go!" shouted Tai.

Daemon gave Agumon's neck a slight squeeze. he demon lord was enjoying the rage that was playing across Tai's face.

Giving in to his anger Tai leapt at Daemon only to get Agumon tossed back into him.

"Tai!" cried Kari.

The other digidestined had been shocked by daemon's sudden appearance as well. Hey were racing to their friend's aid when Daemon turned to face them.

"Ah the digidestined. How delightful, now I won't have to look for you. Especially you Ken."

Ken shuddered. It had been his effort that had allowed the digidestined to trap Daemon in the first place. A fact it seemed that Daemon hadn't forgotten.

"Don't even think about it! Fire Rocket!"

Daemon stepped to the side just as Flamedramon's fist hit the ground. Flamedramon quickly recovered and went into a spin kick. Only to have his leg caught by Daemon.

"Hey leggo!" growled Flamedramon.

"Certainly. Evil Inferno!"

Flamedramon crashed into the ground and reverted back to Veemon. Daemon hovered over the knocked out rookie.

Henry had kept back from the others. He was uncertain how wise it was to attack daemon without a plan. It was obvious to him that none of their digimon could handle Daemon on their own.

Terriermon hopped off Henry's head. He was rearing to get into the fight but for some reason Henry was keeping them out of the way. A fact that was beginning to annoy Terriermon somewhat.

"Come on Henry let's get in there." said Terriermon.

"None of your forms will stand up to Daemon, Terriermon." Henry tried to explain.

Terriermon looked at his tamer.

"Momentai Henry. He might still beat us. But if we don't try then Daemon will definitely win."

Henry sighed. 'Terriermon's right. Even if we don't stop Daemon. We still need to make a stand. The digidestined haven't given up yet so neither should I. But more than that we need to get involved in this fight, by bringing something that only we can!'

As he finished that thought Henry caught sight of his d-arc glowing. Reading what was on the d-arc's screen Henry nodded to Terriermon.

"Bio-merge activate!" cried Henry.

Bio-merge Activation...

Terriermon bio-merge to...

Henry's d-arc exploded with a green light as Henry felt himself merge with Terriermon. A huge form soon began to take shape. It resembled Gargomon but it obvious that this digimon carried much more firepower.

...Mega Gargomon.

Yolie stare at the giant dgimon that now stood where Henry and Terriermon had once been. What she had just seen should have been impossible. A human and a digimon actually becoming one. And a giant one at that. She had seen digimon become larger after digivolving but Yolie had never seen a digimon this tall before.

"Oh wow." whispered Cody.

"Dude that guy is huge." Davis commented.

Even Daemon found himself slightly taken back by this new opponent. This lasted only for a moment though.

"Play with this. Power Pummel!" shouted Mega Gargomon throwing his fist into Daemon's face.

Overhead a news helicopter was capturing the most action that the city had seen for a while.

Elsewhere...

At the Kamiya apartment Jeri was going over her newly constructed deck when Guardromon called out to her.

"Oh dear. Jeri I think that you should come and see this."

"What is it Guardromon?" asked Jeri.

Guardromon pointed to the TV that he and Marineangemon had been watching. A video of the digidestined battling a frightening looking digimon could been seen. A newscaster was narrating off camera.

"As you can see several teenagers and their digimon are in the middle of a battle with a digimon that was spotted a couple of years ago."

Watching the video Jeri frowned. She could see Cody, Ken, and the other digidestined. But she could not see Henry.

"Where is Henry? I thought he was with them. And who is that big digimon?" she asked.

Leomon shook his head. "I do not know Jeri. However I know the other digimon. It is Daemon. Jeri quickly checked her cards. It was obvious that the digidestined were going to need help. What worried her more was that neither Henry nor Rika were with the digidestined.

"Let's go Leomon, they're going to need our help." Said Jeri.

"Jeri are you sure?" asked Leomon.

"I came to help my friends not to just watch them Leomon." Jeri said with a nod of her head.

However before they walked out of the apartment the door blew apart. The exploding wood caught Jeri and the others off guard. Maniacally laughing, a large figure entered the apartment.

To Be Continued…

Howling Wolf: I know it's been a while now but I finally got this new chapter done. Can I get off now? (reveals him being slowly being turned over an open fire)

Rika: Not yet. Impmon do you have the spices?

Impmon: Right here.

Howling Wolf: Oh come on this isn't funny. (keeps being turned) Guys… Guys!
