UltimateGreymon: Thank you ^^ No sorry there isn't going to be any new armour digivolving.
Digimon 2.5 "Adventure 03"
Episode 38: "A Vampire's Revenge"
.:Izzy's Lab, Minato, Tokyo:.
Izzy was still sat in front of his computer, keeping an eye on the children's location in File City. The signals from the X Digimon had vanished just after the others had arrived to help Jonathon, MJ and Margaret and now they had suddenly moved a few miles through the streets to the other side of the city.
The bearer of Knowledge kept watching. Their signals had stopped on Virtual Street and were now stationary.
Suddenly, Izzy sat up straight as a mass of negative energy began to form at a rapid pace. He quickly leaned closer to his keyboard and began to type quite quickly trying to identify the unknown energy.
The computer bleeped as his programme locked onto it and Izzy's eyes widened as a profile appeared on the screen.
"Oh no…"
.:File City, File Island, Digital World:.
"Myotismon…"
Dawn spun round after hearing Wizardmon, who was stood at the back of the group just behind Zudomon, mutter his name. "M-Myotismon?" she stuttered in disbelief before turning to look back up at the vampire Digimon. She had heard his name from her parents. How he had invaded Odaiba in search for the eight DigiDestined… and when he returned four years later as MaloMyotismon… and yet now, here he was again. Revived and living once more. "No way…"
Myotismon smiled and chuckled to himself as he looked down at the younger generation of DigiDestined. "Surprised? Thought you would beat me to the emerald? Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you." He spoke smugly. He raised his right hand, revealing the three Spirit Stones of Love, Reliability and Sincerity grasped between his fingers before he lifted his left hand which held the newly found Spirit Stone of Knowledge.
The children and Digimon gasped as they looked up at the four stones, which weren't shining as brightly as they should have been.
"Oh no… he must have used the powers from four of the stones to transform…" Jonathon murmured.
Tricia glanced up at the older boy. "What does that mean?" she asked quietly.
"It means the Digital World and earth will become unstable." Stacey replied from behind her.
Myotismon placed the four stones in his pockets. "Your parents thought they had seen the last of me all those years ago? Well I am here to finish what I had originally started. That fool Imperialdramon thought he had destroyed my soul but in fact he only damaged it…. I have to admit it was a powerful blow he dealt as it has taken me many years to heal, but my soul lived on and it shall remain living no matter how many times you pathetic humans try to destroy me… I am the Undead King after all."
Dawn scowled, her fists clenched as most of the other children watched on in fright. "Don't get too comfortable. You're gonna pay for what you've done! You killed Gennai!"
The vampire Digimon's expression changed to a darker one. "Gennai was poking his nose in where it did not belong. He was getting too close to revealing my identity and finding out how to defeat me. He had to be taken care of. But do not worry; you will soon be with him again."
"Oh yeah? Just you try it!" BurningGreymon leapt up into the air and threw himself at the vampire Digimon. "Pyro Barrage!" he fired his energy bullets from the two guns on his arms repeatedly.
Myotismon remained calm and simply raised his right hand. The bullets struck his palm and disintegrated, exploding into a cloud of dust upon impact and not even singeing the fabric of his glove. "If that was your best then I am not impressed…. Crimson Lightning!" he quickly formed his famous attack and swiftly swung it in the direction of the dragon Digimon.
The attack wrapped itself once around BurningGreymon's body. He tried to struggle and break free but he couldn't.
Myotismon chuckled, and still holding onto his lightning bolt he swung it around and slammed BurningGreymon into the side of a building.
"BurningGreymon!" Dawn exclaimed in disbelief as a cloud of dust blocked her partner from view.
Myotismon turned to face the DigiDestined once more, his Crimson Lightning attack still alive in his right hand. "You children have no idea who you are dealing with. You are barely amateurs compared to your parents…. and to think they've left you in charge of defending this world. It's just going to make my job a whole lot easier."
Kazemon, Cyberdramon and MetallifeKuwagamon were the next Digimon to step up. They all leapt up into the air in unison and charged preparing their attacks.
Myotismon took a defensive stance before he unleashed his Crimson Lightning attack again, striking Kazemon. "Blood Punch!" he then turned slightly to the left and punched Cyberdramon square in the face before doing the same to MetallifeKuwagamon.
James scowled, clenching his right fist as he kept his left arm stretched out protectively in front of his little sitter. "He's toying with us."
"Vulcan's Hammer!" Zudomon raised his hammer high above his head before slamming it into the ground, releasing a shockwave of energy.
"Marvel Shot!" Lilamon opened the flowers at the end of her arms and fired.
"Heat Wave!" Hippogriffomon opened his mouth and released his high temperature energy wind, which then formed into a tornado.
The attacks all struck Myotismon but they just brushed off him, barely tickling him. He chuckled as he looked down and saw the shocked looks on the children's faces. "I may be at my ultimate form after losing the ability to digivolve to VenomMyotismon and MaloMyotismon, but the power from the emeralds has given me more strength that surpasses that of any mega Digimon. It will take more than nine ultimates and one champion Digimon to defeat me."
Margaret stepped forward and gently grabbed onto her cousin's arm. "What do we do now?"
Dawn glanced at the Kimura girl before looking back up at the vampire Digimon. If she was honest with herself, she hadn't a clue what they were going to do right now. They were all together, their Digimon were all at the highest level and yet they couldn't even make more than a scratch on him….
"Now, let me show you my own powers…. Grizzly Wing!" Myotismon spread his cape wide open and manipulated a large swarm of bats. The bats filled the sky and descended down towards the Digimon.
The children could only watch as the bats surrounded their partners and drained their energy. Their Digimon cried out in pain and tried to fight against the bats but they all started to glow before they all shrunk and de-digivolve back to their in-training forms.
"What?!" James exclaimed.
"Oh no!" Fernanda gasped. "Upamon!"
Myotismon descended down in the air a little. "And now, I shall destroy each of you one by one… starting with you." he declared, slowly pointing his finger down at Stacey who was stood in the middle of the group.
Stacey gasped and took a step back, with SnowKoromon and Tsunomon behind her. Her eyes immediately locked with Myotismon's, who were narrowed as he smiled sickeningly at her. That look in his eyes was all too familiar to her.
"You were warned you would not get away with going against me child after all I did for you." Myotismon extended his arm outwards and formed a dark energy sphere in his palm before releasing it with a simple thrust from his hand.
"Stacey!" Margaret cried out as she clutched onto Nyramon.
Wizardmon appeared from the side, jumping in front of Stacey before firing a blast from the tip of his staff. His attack struck Myotismon's disabling it instantly.
"Wizardmon…" Myotismon gasped, his eyes widening a little. His expression soon changed and he snarled jumping back in mid-air. "How did you return?!" he demanded.
Wizardmon took a step back, holding his staff in both hands. "You're not the only who has returned from the dead…..Magical Game!"
The vampire Digimon glided to the right allowing the attack to fly past him. "I destroyed you all those years ago I can easily destroy you again." He stated. "Crimson Lightning!"
"Magical Game!" Wizardmon released a thunderbolt strike from the end of his staff immediately after. It struck Myotismon's Crimson Lightning and the two attacks cancelled each other out.
Myotismon growled, narrowing his eyes.
"I too have grown stronger over the years. You will not find me so easy to dispose of this time." Wizardmon warned. "Vision of Terror!" he raised his right hand and summoned a whirlwind that surrounded itself around the vampire Digimon.
Myotismon grunted as the wind blew around him like a tornado. His eyes widened a little as he was bombarded with visions of himself being attacked by the DigiDestined and Digimon eventually destroying him. The visions kept on coming, exploiting his fears. He closed his eyes and growled as his body began to shake…. "ENOUGH!" he suddenly bellowed, his temper rising. He flung his arms out either side of his body, releasing a shockwave of energy that broke through Wizardmon's whirlwind destroying it, along with the visions, instantly. "You dare to make a fool of me Wizardmon…Crimson Lightning!"
"Wizardmon!" Margaret shrieked. She tried to run forward but MJ held her back.
Wizardmon quickly raised his staff and blocked Myotismon's Crimson Lightning attack, the force of the impact causing him to skid backwards a little. "Go! Now!" he ordered the DigiDestined as he continued to hold off the attack that showed no signs of letting up. "I will hold off Myotismon. Quickly, head back to the portal!"
"We're not leaving you here!" Dawn shot back, clutching Koromon in her arms. "You can't take him on alone!"
"I'll be fine." Wizardmon protested calmly not turning to face the children. "Your Digimon are in no condition to fight. Go, you must warn your parents!"
Dawn hesitated for a moment. She glanced down at Koromon who looked completely worn out before she looked to Wizardmon, then to Myotismon then back to Wizardmon. She hated running from battles but she had to admit this was one where they couldn't win right now. She sighed, frowning. "Fine."
"What?" Margaret gasped. "B-but-"
"You heard Wizardmon." Dawn interrupted, turning around to face her cousin. "Besides, we can't beat him… at least not yet anyway. Wizardmon's right. We need to go back home and warn our parents and then we can come up with a plan."
"But Wizardmon…" MJ began.
"He'll be fine. He said so. He's had experience on fighting Myotismon before."
There was another attack from Myotismon that Wizardmon missed just in time by jumping out of the way. He glanced behind him and saw the children were still there. "Go now while you still have a chance!" Wizardmon caught a glimpse of Myotismon about to lunge towards the children so he spun round and thrust his staff in the vampire's direction. "Magical Game!" Wizardmon released a blinding light that expanding outwards beyond his staff.
"Argh!" Myotismon was forced to stop in his tracks and shield his eyes with his arm as the light drowned out Wizardmon and the children from his sight. "That light…." He grunted, squinting. The light gradually began to fade, and when it disappeared returning to Wizardmon's staff Myotismon lowered his arm and looked down.
The children had gone.
"You are fool Wizardmon." Myotismon spat. "Why do you give your life to help these pathetic humans?"
"They are my friends." Wizardmon simply replied. "They have risked so much in defending this world from all the evil Digimon that have caused pain and destruction … and I will be helping them in their battle to finally rid both worlds of you."
Myotismon chuckled. "Your alliance to the humans, like before, is going to be the death of you…..Grizzly Wing!" he summoned his bats once more who began to descend down towards the wizard Digimon.
Wizardmon remained still, watching as the bats flew closer to him, like they had done all those years ago. Just as they were about to hit him, he quickly draped his cape around his body and in a puff of smoke, he was gone.
The bats just made contact as Wizardmon disappeared and as they hit the purple smoke, they exploded into pieces of data.
"No!" Myotismon roared as Wizardmon disappeared before his eyes. He checked his surroundings before flying to the end of the deserted street and came to a stop in the middle of the intersection. He looked around for any signs of Wizardmon or the DigiDestined, but there was no one around. "I'll let them go for now." He spat angrily to himself. "They may think they have escaped but their time will come."
.:Izzy's Lab, Minato, Tokyo:.
The adult DigiDestined and their Digimon were gathered at Izzy's lab in one of the back rooms all sat around a large square table in silence. None of them had said much since being informed of Myotismon's return, partially due to them waiting on the two seats that were currently empty to be occupied.
The silence was soon broken when the door was swung open and Mimi burst inside, quickly followed by Joe, Gomamon and Palmon. Everyone looked up as Joe closed to the door behind him.
"Is it true?" Mimi asked quietly.
Izzy, who was sat in between Tai and TK, with his laptop open in front of him, nodded slowly. "Yes."
"How is that possible?" Joe questioned as he and his wife took their seats in between Davis and Matt. "We-Imperialdramon- destroyed him twenty five years ago."
"I'm still working on that." Izzy replied as he began to type a few things on his laptop. "But that's the least of our worries…. Take a look at this." He pressed a few things allowing what was on his screen to appear on the plasma screen on the wall at the front of the table. "I was drafting up as much data as I could whilst I was waiting for everyone to arrive…"
An image of Myotismon appeared, with his data profile. Izzy typed a couple more things into his laptop and an image and profile of MaloMyotismon appeared on the right side of the screen.
"What? He's stronger?" Matt gasped as he stared up at the screen.
"Yes." Izzy replied. "His power levels have skyrocketed. His strength is now triple that of what it was when he was MaloMyotismon and yet he still remains at the ultimate level…. And this is only data I could download before I lost his signal so this might not be an accurate reading. Shortly after I locked onto his profile the Digital World's data was all over the place."
"All this time the Undead King was Myotismon and you didn't know? Why didn't you identify him sooner Izzy?" Tai demanded.
"Don't you think I've been trying that Tai?" Izzy shot back. "The Undead King was virtually a mystery to us up until now. Even Gennai didn't know who he was."
"He may have been powerful but whilst he was in his spirit form there was virtually no identifiable data to go on." Tentomon added. "We all assumed he was dead after Imperialdramon's attack and thought this was just another evil Digimon stepping up attempting to take over the reign as the Undead Digimon King."
"I knew I recognised his voice." Sora spoke up, sighing. "That day in the forest when he attacked us… when he spoke his voice sounded familiar but I couldn't place it."
"So how do we defeat him if every time he just ends up coming back?" Veemon asked.
"Yeah there's got to be a way." Davis added.
"That's something we're going to have to figure out." Izzy replied. "He survived the first time by invading Yukio Okiawa's body and using him as a sort of host to regain his power. But the second time…. No one could have survived that blast from Imperialdramon. Something must have happened that day that we weren't aware of."
"We should have been." Tai muttered. "If we had realised sooner we could have taken care of Myotismon before it got too far, and Gennai would still be alive."
Yolei lowered her head a little before she glanced beside her and saw Cody was hunched over slightly, his fists clenched and his body trembling a little. "Huh? Cody, are you okay?"
"How could we let this happen…?" Cody muttered darkly. "How could we allow Myotismon to return and cause so much devastation already? Oikawa gave his life to repair the Digital World and protect it. We can't let his death be in vein!"
"Calm down Cody." Armadillomon said, placing his paw on his partner's leg. "We'll think of a plan. Like Izzy said we had no way of knowing Myotismon was back. This isn't our fault."
"Armadillomon's right." TK piped up, with Kari nodding in agreement. "He's a sneaky and powerful Digimon. He managed to stay hidden for four years after we originally defeated him…. and we must have done some damage to him if it's taken him twenty five years to return this time."
"I just hope the children are alright." Yolei sighed.
"I received a message from Jonathon shortly after calling you all. He said they're heading home as we speak and are all safe." Izzy replied.
.:Thunder Mountain, File Island, Digital World:.
The doors to the castle opened up, and the X Digimon inside all stopped what they were doing as Myotismon entered and came to a stop in the door way, and an awkward silence ascended upon the hallway.
He chuckled quietly to himself as he looked around at all the Digimon that were staring back at him. Some looked shocked, some were surprised but happy and some even had a slight hint of fear in their expressions as they gazed upon their leader who had now returned to his true form.
He casually strode forward, his cape flowing freely behind him. He smiled confidently and glanced down as he passed a Waspmon X on his right and two Hagurumon X on his left.
Three Gazimon X were stood just before the foot of the staircase, their mouths wide open as they gawped up at Myotismon who was approaching them. When he reached them, he stopped and looked down.
One of the Gazimon X snapped out of it and bowed kneeling down on one knee, and the other two followed suit. "Lord Myotismon. First of all what a pleasure it is to finally have you back. Whilst you were gone a fresh batch of X Digimon have just arrived from Fossil Canyon."
The vampire Digimon smiled. "Excellent. Make sure they get the proper training. I only want the best." He replied before he began to walk away towards the stairs.
"Yes sir!" the three Gazimon X said in unison as they stood up straight.
Myotismon paused once more, glancing over his shoulder. "For now, I ask you to make sure no one disturbs me…. I have some thinking to do." He warned before he disappeared up the staircase.
.:Odaiba, Tokyo:.
It was now early evening and the sun was setting behind the Tokyo skyline, although some dark clouds were appearing in the distance and the wind was beginning to pick up.
In Odaiba, TK, Kari their children and Digimon were walking home after leaving Izzy's lab. Margaret and MJ were walking in front, carrying Nyramon and Tokomon in their arms whilst TK and Kari walked a few steps behind, with Patamon flying alongside.
Kari stopped walking and turned to look behind her to see Gatomon was trailing behind, walking on all fours slowly with her head down and her tail drooping. "Gatomon what's wrong?" she asked, catching the attention of her fiancé and the two girls.
Gatomon sighed and lifted her head up. "It's Wizardmon." She murmured. "I can't stop worrying until I know he's alright…. I told him it wasn't safe to return to the Digital World…. I should have been there with him… he shouldn't have taken on Myotismon on his own."
"I'm sure he's fine." Patamon said.
"But he's stronger now." The feline Digimon protested.
"I know we can't forget what happened the last time those two fought." TK spoke up. "But Wizardmon must have had faith in himself if he insisted he held off Myotismon to allow the children to escape."
MJ nodded. "Wizardmon told us he would be fine… and to be honest, he wasn't doing too badly either against Myotismon. He was putting up rather a good fight."
Gatomon just looked up at the orange sky. "Please be safe Wizardmon..."
.:Thunder Mountain, File Island, Digital World:.
Myotismon took out the Spirit Stones of Love, Sincerity and Reliability and placed them back on their tripods before he took out the newly found Spirit Stone of Knowledge from his left pocket and placed it in the fourth one.
"At last…. Four of the eight emeralds are mine." He proclaimed to himself. "And now that I have the four I desired it will be easy taking the remaining four from those little brats." He stared at them for a good few minutes, smiling proudly. "The emeralds gave me the power I needed to return to my rightful form, yet there is still so much power left within them for me to use any way I wish."
He already had plans on how to use the powers from the emeralds. He knew all eight would make him invincible but there was so much power stored inside there would still be some left for him to use on other things than himself.
His army had failed in their attempts to retrieve the emeralds from the DigiDestined, with Buraimon X being the latest victim. But now he was back and even stronger, he himself would not fail in obtaining the other four.
"I would have had all eight now if Wizardmon had not interfered…" Myotismon muttered to himself.
It wasn't the first time Wizardmon had interfered with his plans, and he had a feeling it wouldn't be the last either. Wizardmon had been the one who had opened Gatomon's eyes making her realise she was the partner Digimon of the eighth child, thus losing his most loyal servant. Wizardmon had accompanied Gatomon into his lair in their attempts to steal the crest, and Wizardmon had thrown himself in front of the Grizzly Wing attack intended to kill Gatomon and Kari.
If it wasn't for Wizardmon, then perhaps he would have succeeded in his first attempt at eliminating the DigiDestined, as well as taking over both worlds.
"Argh! That meddling fool!" he spat as he slammed his fist onto the table, causing the Spirit Stones to shudder in their tripods. "He's going to wish he never returned. Next time I face him I'll make sure he is destroyed for good… after all I did for him this is how he repays me."
Flashback
"Lord Myotismon, this is Wizardmon. He is an old and very close friend of mine." Gatomon spoke, bowing politely before she stood up straight and motioned to the wizard Digimon beside her.
Myotismon stood up from his desk that was situated at the far end of the darkened room.
"He's one of the Digimon I selected to help you in your search for the eighth child. He's very skilled and very powerful despite only being a champion Digimon." Gatomon added. "He'll be a valuable asset to your army."
Myotismon walked over before he looked down at Wizardmon, studying him carefully.
Wizardmon tossed his cape back, and bowed. "I am willing to serve you lord Myotismon. Gatomon once helped me when I was in need, and she speaks very highly of you and I am willing to serve you to return my debt to her."
"Hmm... Very well." Myotismon agreed. "I assume Gatomon has informed you of what is required during our quest?" he asked, with Wizardmon replying with a nod. Myotismon then looked down to the feline Digimon. "Make sure the rest of your Digimon do not disappoint Gatomon."
"When have I ever disappointed you, Myotismon?"
End flashback
"And don't think I have forgotten about you either, Gatomon!" Myotismon hissed as he was hunched over his desk. He opened his eyes, which were narrow with anger. "My most loyal servant and you betrayed me to join those pathetic humans….I have not forgotten your disloyalty to me and I will be getting my revenge on you and your partner."
Even now, years later, the thought of Angewomon's arrow piercing his chest still haunted him. And it was her arrow, along with Angemon's, that eventually led to his demise by unlocking the power to allow Agumon and Gabumon to digivolve to their mega forms.
Ever since he could remember his main goal was to take over the Digital World and earth, consuming both worlds in darkness and becoming the strongest and most feared Digimon to ever live, with both Digimon and humans fearing him.
But now, as he stood in his castle, all of that didn't feel as important as it had been in previous years. Just when he thought he had won and was ready to take over, the DigiDestined would claim another victory… and he was getting sick of it.
All these memories from years ago was just making his taste for revenge even stronger and all he could think about was making the DigiDestined suffer in the worst way possible for the years of pain they had put him through….
"Do not lose sight of what really matters my lord."
Myotismon stood up straight and slowly turned around to look at the old open book that was on top of a small table in the opposite corner of the room.
A few of the pages began to turn on their own before a bright light began to seep through the crack in between the pages. The light began to grow, and a dark silhouette emerged from the book, growing a little in size until it was a few feet tall. Once the light faded a human looking Digimon wearing a thick purple robe with his face hidden under a yellow hood hovered above the pages, his yellow eyes looking across the room at the vampire Digimon.
Myotismon's expression remained solemn until he cracked a smile. "You have this keen sense to know exactly what I am thinking Wisemon."
Wisemon folded his arms, his hands concealed in the sleeves of his robe. "My loyalty will always be to you my lord, and I sensed your intentions were drifting. That is why I must warn you before you act too hastily."
"And what is it you must warn me about? Surely there can't be anymore surprises the DigiDestined can throw at me."
"Your desire for revenge on the DigiDestined is fully deserving, but you must act out your vengeance correctly in order to defeat them." Wisemon responded.
"I do not follow Wisemon."
Wisemon raised both of his hands, revealing two space time stones he was holding. He let go of them and allowed them to float in the air before he levitated them into the centre of the room just in front of Myotismon. Then, moving his fingers, he began to expand the stones as they began to glow and took on a more oval shape. In the centre of the two stones, a separate image of Tai and Dawn appeared in each one.
Myotismon's eyes widened a little at first before he narrowed them; more so at the young Kamiya girl as she had interfered with most of his attempts to destroy the younger generation of DigiDestined. "Why do you show me these two?" he demanded.
Wisemon folded his arms once more. "As you already know, out of the older generation he is only one of a few whose Digimon partner can reach the mega level." He began, referring to Tai. "And it is only a matter of time before the girl's Digimon reaches the same level of power as the elder."
"But I possess more power than their mega Digimon combined!" Myotismon interrupted. "I may be at my ultimate level but with the power of the emeralds I can be ten times more powerful than I was when I was MaloMyotismon! What's one more mega Digimon?" he asked, a little humorously.
"Do not get too confident my lord." Wisemon said calmly before he continued. "This is where I must warn you. There is a prophecy. A prophecy involving these two DigiDestined."
Myotismon continued to stare upwards, his eyes shifting back and forth between the images of the father and daughter.
"They may not know it. But these two are the strongest out of both generations of the DigiDestined…. If they realise their full powers and harmonise them together then the powers from the emeralds may not be enough for you to succeed."
"Are you saying… even with the powers of the emeralds… I-I could still lose?" Myotismon asked just above a whisper.
Wisemon nodded.
Myotismon fell silent. He had been through all that before. More than once. But the last time he was beaten was by far the worst. The pain of his body being ripped apart…
Flashback
MaloMyotismon struggled to fight against the pain as the children began to believe in their dreams caused his body to break away, piece by piece. "Argh!" he let out a cry as his legs and torso disappeared, only leaving his chest and head.
"I feel so much happier!" one of the children exclaimed smiling.
"NO!" he roared as the last part of his body burst into data, only leaving the dark mist of his soul. "This can't be happening! These paltry children can't make me disappear! I won't allow it!"
"Quick everybody use your digivices and we'll get rid of this pesky darkness forever." Imperialdramon ordered.
All the DigiDestined held up their digivices that were still glowing brightly, and a large gun appeared in Imperialdramon's hands…
"Giga Crusher!" Imperialdramon fired his gun and a white laser beam of energy ascended up into the sky and blasted the dark mist, obliterating it.
A blinding light filled the dark sky for a brief moment before it disappeared just as quickly as it came, and MaloMyotismon's soul was gone…..
End flashback
He was close to certain victory that day. After tricking the DigiDestined into blasting him back into the Digital World, he was at his most strongest.
But like before, the DigiDestined had fought back…. this time with children from all over the world. He hadn't anticipated such power from them and was completely taken by surprise when the light and happiness from all those children caused him great pain. Enough pain to dismember his body.
But he had survived…. Just. It had been a powerful attack by Imperialdramon, and it had almost beaten him. Even when the energy from Oikawa's own soul began to repair the Digital World, Myotismon managed to escape into the Dark Area where his soul began the slow process of healing itself.
"You do not need to worry about the children from all over the world. There are only a select few of DigiDestined left after Gennai rid most of the world of their memories shortly after your last battle with them twenty five years ago." Wisemon said. "Gennai hoped it would keep the Digital World safe if fewer humans knew about it."
Myotismon grunted and turned his back on Wisemon, leaning his hands on the desk. He closed his eyes, reliving that painful blast from Imperialdramon over and over in his head.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not recall how he managed to escape to the Dark Area; a prison graveyard of some sort full of evil energies where the most dangerous of Digimon were sent after, or even before their deaths.
He had spent many years there. Twenty four to be exact. Over that time his soul had slowly rebuilt itself and with each passing day, his strength grew just that little bit more.
Despite being full of imprisoned Digimon, the years he had spent in the Dark Area had been alone, completely shrouded in darkness. But he was used to it. He thrived on darkness, and he was always stronger with the absent of light.
When he had enough strength, he found himself back in the Digital World in the middle of the deserted wasteland that surrounded Fossil Canyon. From there, in his spirit form, he began his journey in search for somewhere to reside in.
It didn't take him long to discover the abandoned castle at the foot of Thunder Mountain. It was the perfect place for his rehabilitation. It was miles away from civilisation and no Digimon hardly ever ventured near due to the mountain that was home to a few dangerous Digimon.
It was inside the castle where he found the X Antibody, and from there he began to form his army testing it on weaker Digimon before selecting the most fierce and strongest Digimon he could fine. Some were willing to join his side whilst others needed… persuading somewhat.
"I can not lose again…" he muttered, breaking the silence. "I have come too far to fail for a third time." he looked up a little at the four Spirit Stones in front of him. "The power from all eight emeralds are said to make me invincible!" he exclaimed, his voice suddenly growing louder. "How can the DigiDestined match up to that sort of power?" he turned around to face Wisemon, only to see the Digimon moving his hands slowly as he formed a soft light that broke apart and transformed into letters of the Digi-code. "What is this?" he demanded.
"This is the prophecy I spoke of, my lord." Wisemon spoke. He rearranged the letters so they came together…
Myotismon looked up at the words floating in front of him.
The willingness to confront pain, fear, danger, uncertainty and intimidation will be rewarded.
Although apart, they will come together and on the seventh night in the mist of darkness their courage will bind.
And the ancient dragon will be unleashed.
"That is why you must act now. Before they realise the extent of their power." Wisemon retorted calmly. He gave Myotismon time to read the prophecy before he clicked his fingers and the words disappeared in a puff of smoke, only leaving the images of Tai and Dawn. "You must not rely too heavily on the emeralds. Destroying these two first will pave the way for you to easily wipe out the rest of DigiDestined. Without the powers of Courage the others won't stand a chance against you."
Myotismon grunted and spun round and stormed across the room towards the small window. He looked outside and down below to where his latest X Digimon were battling it out in the courtyard. "I was ready…" he muttered as he watched the two duelling Tuskmon X. "I was so ready to begin my plans and send out my army of X Digimon….. But now… after seeing those children… and Wizardmon… after what their parents put me through…. This isn't about ruling the Digital World… my main focus now is unleashing my full force on those DigiDestined!"
"And now you have the power and the army to achieve that." Wisemon commented.
Myotismon picked up an empty syringe that lay on the windowsill and studied it. "After being gifted the X Antibody I have managed to create a ruthless and feared army I could only dream about years before my previous demise…. My aim is still the same... to take over both the Digital World and earth…. But this time only X Digimon will serve under me. I have learned with the X Antibody that ordinary Digimon are weak." He curled his fist around the syringe and clenched hard, shattering it. "Anyone who objects will simply be destroyed." He let the shattered syringe fall to the ground before he slowly turned around and looked up at the images of Tai and Dawn.
Wisemon watched him a few moments. "You know what you need to do my lord."
Myotismon merely nodded, his eyes narrowing.
"If you want to have any chance of conquering both worlds… you must eliminate them."
