Author's notes: After my acocunt was deleted accidentally, I rewrote some parts of Dark Wing. There is another version, Dark Wing Type 2, that I'm writing that follows the anime more accurately. But for now, I'll focus on finishing the original Dark Wing since I want to wait and see what happens in the Japanese Tamer series. I'll upload the other chapters once I've finished double-checking them. The last few chapters should be up in a week or so, if I can find my back-up files. Thanks for your patience.

Author's notes: After some consideration, I've decided to use the Japanese levels, since I'm already using the Japanese names, cards and attacks anyway. Therefore:

Digimon Levels:

Child : Rookie
Adult : Champion
Perfect : Ultimate
Ultimate: Mega



Digimon Tamers: Dark Wing

AN INTERESTING DISCOVERY...


"Devimon?! You fought Devimon and let him get away?!" raged a red-haired girl wearing a t-shirt with a broken heart symbol on it. Makino Ruki stalked up and down the clearing outside Guilmon's hideout, scolding her Tamer comrades. "How could you let him get away?! And why didn't you get me and Renamon?"

Lee Jenrya scowled at her. "He was much stronger than anyone we've fought before, Ruki." He gestured to Leomon and Guilmon. "Leomon and Guilmon had trouble with him, and from the way he was talking, he wasn't even at full strength yet!"

"And you believed him?" Ruki scoffed. "I thought you had more brains than that!"

"What is that supposed to mean?" Lee demanded.

"Exactly what it sounds like!" she retorted. Takato sat beside Lee's younger sister Lee Shiuchon. The girl cuddled her partner Lopmon in her arms while Terriermon was perched on Lee's head. Guilmon and Leomon stood nearby while Renamon kept watch from one of the trees. The Tamers were waiting for Juri to arrive, when Ruki found out what the meeting was about.

"They act like they're married..." Takato sighed. Shiuchon giggled, imagining Ruki as her sister-in-law. Life at home would be more interesting for one thing...


Meanwhile, in another part of the park...


"Okay, I evolve Tsukaimon to Darkrizamon!" said a young boy to his friend. He took out a Darkrizamon card and placed it on top of his Tsukaimon card. "And I use Protect!" His friend frantically searched through his cards.

"Aha! I'll use a HP up disk!" He placed the card under his Digimon card, a Goblimon. Before the game could go any farther, something leapt out of the shadows. A tall humanoid figure dressed in black landed before them and lashed out with razor-sharp claws which cut into the metal of the slide they were playing under. Screaming, the two kids ran away, leaving behind all their things.

Devimon intended follow them and use them as bait to lure out the Chosen Children, but something caught his eye. "Hmmm?" He picked up one of the cards the kids left behind. He raised an eyebrow in surprise when he realised what the picture on the card was . "Devimon..." he read. "Fallen Angel Digimon. An acceptable likeness..." He noticed another card. "This is..." he said, recognising it. "White Wings?" Devimon recalled seeing a similar card in the small brown-haired human's hand before he slid it through his Digivice and made wings appear on the dinosaur Digimon's back. "So...that's it!" He stared at the card. "That is no Digivice! No..." he muttered thoughtfully, turning the card over in his hand. "it is something potentially more powerful..." The dark Digimon scooped up the remaining cards. "This warrants further investigation!"


"Takato-kun!" called out Juri as she appeared at the clearing. "I'm sorry I'm late," she apologised. "My parents wanted me to help with something!"

"That's okay, Katou-san," Takato said kindly. "We haven't done anything yet!"

"Leomon, are you okay?" Juri asked her Digimon partner. She was still worried about him, remembering how stiffly the tall muscular Digimon moved following the fight against Devimon.

Leomon nodded, looking down at the auburn-haired girl. "I'm fully healed, Juri."

Lee coughed to get everyone's attention. "Okay, now that were all here, I'll start the meeting."

"What about Hirokazu and Kenta?" Ruki asked, Renamon jumping down to land at her side.

"They're out of town, remember?" Takato told her.

"Alright then," Lee said. "Let's just check eveything." He turned to Guilmon and Leomon. "Both of you were surprised by Devimon last night, right?"

Guilmon's head bobbed up and down while Leomon answered. "Yes, that's right. He was chasing Impmon."

Culumon hopped up and down. "Uh-huh," he said. "I saw it! They were fighting and everything, Culu!" Juri knelt and scooped up the small white Digimon, making him giggle.

Lee nodded. "Shiuchon and I were fighting a Goblimon when Devimon appeared and deleted it."

"Do you think it was the same Devimon?" Juri asked.

"Probably," Lee replied. "It can't be a coincidence..."

"But I thought the Wild Ones couldn't travel here anymore!" Terriermon commented.

Renamon nodded. "That's right. Now that evolution has been restored, there is no reason for them to come here seeking Tamers or ways to evolve."

"So what do we do now?" Takato asked.

"Easy!" Ruki declared. "We go out there, find him, and send him back to wherever he came from!"

"But first we need to find him!" Terriermon quipped. Lopmon nodded as well, agreeing with his brother Digimon.

"That won't be easy," Renamon said quietly, more to Ruki then anyone else. "If Devimon is anywhere near as strong as Ice Devimon was, he will not fall without a fight."

Leomon spoke up. "On the other hand, Devimon mentioned not having enough power. He must be in a weakened state at this point."

"An injured animal is more dangerous," Lee said quietly. "I agree with Ruki. We have to find Devimon and deal with him quickly."

"So where should we look?" Juri asked, hugging Culumon.

Lee looked thoughtful. "Good question. If we split up, we could cover more ground." He looked up at the others. "But I'd prefer we stay together, since we don't know how strong Devimon is."

"He can't be much stronger than the Devas were," Ruki pointed out. "I think we can handle him."

"Don't get me wrong," Lee said. "I know you and Renamon are good, but I just don't want anyone to take chances, that's all."

"Lopmon?" Shuichon said suddenly. "What's wrong?" The Tamers looked to see the brown tri-horned Child shivering.

"Something's happening..." he said. "It feels like..."

"Jen!" Terriermon yelled. "A Digital Field!" The Tamers looked around.

"Where?" Lee asked. His partner pointed away from the city.

"That way!"

"Renamon?" Ruki asked, glancing at her Digimon for confirmation. The fox Digimon nodded. "Then let's go!" The Tamers dashed off into the forest.


"I can see it!" Takato said, pulling his goggles over his eyes. "Guilmon, ready?"

"Ready, Takato!" The other Tamers prepared for battle as they made out a shape in the Field. The group ran through it and stopped short. The Digimon who had appeared was a humanoid Digimon with boots and a metallic arm which resembled Terriermon's evolved form Galgomon's machinegun arms. It had a bull's head and a ring through its nose.

"Let's see..." Lee said, aiming his D-Ark at the Digimon. "Minotarumon. Adult. Virus. Beast Man Digimon. Ultimate Technique: Darkside Quake."

Ruki smirked at the Adult Digimon as it turned to face them. "Renamon." Renamon leapt into the attack, kicking Minotarumon before he could strike.

"Fox Leaf Arrowhead!" she cried, her attack knocking her opponent down.

Punching the ground, Minotarumon used its Darkside Quake technique, sending a shockwave towards the slim female Digimon, but she easily evaded it by leaping into the air. Landing, she kicked it in the head, then followed up with a rapid flurry of punches ending with a sweep. Meanwhile, Guardromon stood in the way of the wayward attack Minotarumon had launched and braced himself as he allowed it to hit. Though he was pushed back, he absorbed the shockwave with no ill-effects. Renamon stood over Minotarumon as he tried to rise, but before she could finish him, another voice cut through the air.

"Razor Wing!" Renamon leapt nimbly aside as energy bolts exploded around the two battling Digimon. Minotarumon was not so lucky as it was hit again and again. Devimon swooped down and landed before the group. "We meet again, Chosen."

"So,you're Devimon, huh?" Ruki said seeing him for the first time. "You're not much different from Ice Devimon!"

"And who might you be, little girl?" Devimon asked in a mocking tone.

"Little girl?" the redhead hissed. "We'll show you 'little girl'! Renamon!"

The Dark Digimon laughed. "I wonder, any relation to the Digimon Kaizer?"

"Digimon Kaizer?!" Takato burst out. "Then...you're..."

"THE Devimon?!" Lee added in disbelief. "The one Angemon killed?!"

"It seems my reputation preceeds me," Devimon said casually. "Though, I am curious...where is Angemon? I would've expected he and his comrades to arrive by now."

"Sorry, Devimon," Ruki said ,a determined look on her face. "You'll have to settle for us!"

"I'm not picky," Devimon replied. "But first..." He turned and impaled the Minotarumon with his claws, deleting it. Spreading his wings, he called out "Hell Contract!" and began absorbing its data. Smiling cruelly, he faced the shocked Tamers and their Digimon again. "Shall we begin?" he said, spreading his ragged wings wider.

Ruki glared at the mocking Digimon. "Renamon," she said quietly. "Walk all over him."
