Demons and Wizards – Chapter 4
Death. The black-haired boy could smell it, its stench was putrid beyond all thought, and it emanated from the other side of the portal, this was from a demon who was after him, not the two agents who were on their way to close it. He knew where they were, they were about 200 yards from there, and they would be there within a minute. The breach would happen in five, he guessed, as this demon would take some time breaching if he needed his own portal.
He stopped hovering, and set down on the ground right as the two boys dressed in the battle garb of a DW agent came into view. He held up a gun, and they stopped, "Identify yourselves, or be destroyed," he said sternly.
"Agents Angemon and Agent Flamedramon, we were sent by Director Stingmon," the blonde, Angemon, replied.
"Good, the portal is to be closed in this manner," Seraphimon said as he began to describe the complicated ritual of portal closure, which ended with a golden bullet to disperse the residue of the portal's magic, "Begin now, there's a breach in progress," he said, and jumped into a tree, and waited for a demon to come out as the Agents started laying out the patterns in the dirt that had been shown to them.
--------
"Computer, shoe me video feeds from Digivices zero one, one five, and two nine," Stingmon was still in GENNAI's first floor briefing room, and three walls displayed different views of the same thing, and Ken picked up a headset on the table, "Angemon, Flamedramon, Seraphimon, you have about thirty seconds before breach," he said, looking at a small screen on the table.
"Affirmative Director," Angemon replied.
-------
Then, a demon Seraphimon recognized came through. This was Mûrdock's personal body guard. So, he thought, this was an assassination, Seraphimon instantly though, as he shined blue before extending eight magnificent white feather wings, like an angel. Seraphimon flew to get a better shot, hovering over the Agents drawing an assault rifle and taking aim, then open firing.
-------
"Careful Taicihi," Yamato said, as both boys were inside the ventilation shafts in the building which was allegedly Corporate Headquarters for the DW Corporation, the current source of revenue of the GENNAI project, which Agents called DW anyway because it was shorter, "You don't want the wrong one of your guns to go off in my ass."
Taichi blushed furiously at this, "You're a pervert, Yama, did you know that?" the brown-haired boy responded, "And if you think any guns are going off up there anytime soon, you just wrecked your chance of that."
Yamato chuckled slightly as they reached the vent opening they wanted: 5th Floor, Office 5: The CEO of DW. Both boys dropped down, guns out, when they saw the building had never been completed this far up, except for ventilation systems and a floor, "This is a weird situation," Yamato said, grabbing his digivice to report to Koushirou, "Director, we've got a situation," was all Yamato said.
"Tell me about it," a voice responded in both of the Agents in the field's ears, "Stingmon as sealed himself in GENNAI's room and has had GENNAI in passive mode for the past hour. So, I'm cut off form viewing cartography of your digivices, although the last time Stingmon did this it was for something important which ended up benefiting us greatly, but usually he tells me before doing this." Miyako was not far behind Koushirou, as they went downstairs to a briefing room which had been equipped with cartography equipment after Ken's first escapade, Miyako typed the digivices they needed cartography from and the projectors went on and lights dimmed in the room.
"Well, we have infiltrated a dummy building, meaning DW is a dummy corporation," Taichi said, "Can you activate the transporter, or is that something you need GENNAI to do?"
"Greymon, I suggest against it, but GENNAI is unrequired to activate the transport device," the purple haired girls responded, checking over the transporter checking its range.
"Halsemon, this is the first time I've actually talked to you," Yamato responded, "And yes, activate the transporter. Mission Failure, CEO has been failed to be captured, new objective recommendation: locate the true DW offices," Yamato said, before disappearing in a flash of light and reappearing in the briefing room Miyako and Kosihrou were in.

Seraphimon lunged with the butt of his rifle right into the demon's chest, while the two agents continued the ritual. Seraphimon fired a round into the large demon's foot, but the demon's aura chose that moment to form, causing the bullet to dissipate in the field. The boy with the wings quickly pulled out a handgun with silver bullets and fired blindly into the aura, hoping to hit the demon.
The agents neared completion of their task, and the demon still had not noticed their task. Seraphimon was not only distracting him sufficiently but he managed to dissipate the aura enough to see his target, so he began firing at the demon, despite its ability to dodge. Then, the demon realized what the two agents were doing as they finished. Daisuke managed to pull his weapon out first, and got hit by a spike from the demon, but Takeru drew and fired his weapon in to the portal, through the aura which dissipated it, giving Seraphimon the chance to shoot the demon's head off with his rifle. Seraphimon didn't stop when the demon began sublimating: he hurled a bolt of white lightening at the corpse, preventing it form continuing and pulling it back into his world.
Angemon was at Flamedramon's side, Angemon had propped Flamedramon's head up, he was beginning to doubt that Seraphimon could defeat it; he was beginning to doubt that Flamedramon would survive, and looked at the leg where Flamedramon was struck.
"Don't give up hope, Angemon," Flamedramon whispered as if sensing Angemon's peril. Seraphimon was blasted against a tree, and his wings faded, causing an audible curse to be heard from him, "Kiss me, Angemon," Flamedramon said, Angemon leaned down, and kisses Flamedramon on his soft lips. Suddenly, he wasn't in the real world, he was surpassing it. He began glowing with a golden aura, and Seraphimon smiled, as the aura healed Flamedramon. Takeru could feel it: he was the Angemon who his codenamed had been derived from, and he did the one thing he could think of: pointed his fist at the demon ho was getting up, and concentrated the hope Daisuke had transferred to him, and let loose. A golden beam flew out of Angemon's hand, through the demon, and Angemon took his chance to charge, grabbing his sword, and throwing energy from its blade into the demon as it began spurting a fluid which he assumed was its blood on the ground, as he began hovering and six angel wings extended from his back.
BAMB!
A single golden bullet flew from the end of a one shot pistol Seraphimon had drawn while Angemon was unleashing his Devine furry, and unleashed the shot right into the demon's head, as its eyes rolled to the back of its head, "Mission completed successfully, portal is closed and high-ranking demon has been vanquished. Mûrdock si now left with three body guards, and Angemon's powers have been unleashed," Seraphimon echoed over the headset, as Takeru's aura and wings faded, and he ran into Daisuke's arms.
----------
"Mycroft, would you please follow us into the HQ?" Takeru asked, as he swore a green light emanated off of the doorway and the other boy's neck.
"I would be delighted to Takeru," he said then followed him inside, as they reported to GENNAI's briefing room, where each one was debriefed separately. The only consultation for Takeru, after being heavily quizzed on his powers, was getting to go back to Daisuke after this was over.
The black haired boy entered the briefing room as Takeru left to go to his chambers, "So Ken, it appears it's worked so far," the boy said, sitting down. Ken had no noticed, but the boy wore a chain mail sash similar to his own around his neck.
"So, you never parted with the symbol, just disguised it. Clever Michæl, very clever idea. So, you've found your heir and I take it you want to be there in his next mind sync with GENNAI?" Ken asked, as the black haired boy turned into the silver haired one, Hikari and Takeru had seen in their visions of present and past.
"Yes, I would, but I would not like him to know I am here, I want him to think I am merely a specter who was placed there to aide my heir in their training," the silver haired boy replied, he grabbed his digivice, emitting a red light, "I need to get into my lab though, so Koushirou must be distracted while I unseal that for Takeru and transfer door control to GENNAI. GENNAI must not tell Kousihrou about this, or we could be in trouble as he never saw anything beyond a gateway that creates a 2-way portal," the boy smiled, "And alert the sponsors that Luciemon is back," he said, typing a few commands into the terminal on the table, specifying what quarters he would be assigned to and other things, like his new database entry for his new identity until he disclosed himself to Koushirou.
----------
A/n: a little shorter than usual, but id lose some dramatic drama if I added more after or before that, because it starts to bring things full circle with the visions. I'm trying to speed this along so I can get to the end, but I may or may not make a sequel, or I may postpone a sequel for another fic idea I had.
