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

CURSE OF THE BLACK GEAR
The sun began to set on Tokyo, and people began making their way home for dinner and rest. The park in West Shinjuku emptied slowly as children and adults alike hungrily headed for their homes and families. Peace reigned...except for a part of the park some distance away...
"Fox Leaf Arrowhead!" yelled a yellow fox-like Digimon. The ying-yang symbols on her purple arm-guards glittered in the light as her target, a tall Digimon dressed in black, sidestepped her attack before launching one of his own.
"Razor Wing!" Devimon cried, as Renamon began dodging his attacks. Ruki watched silently with the other Tamers while her Digimon partner battled the Dark Digimon.
Takato was whispering excitedly with Lee. "You really think he's the same Devimon from Digimon Adventure 01?!" the goggle-wearing boy asked his friend.
"It sounds like it..." the other boy replied thoughtfully. "None of the Wild Ones ever talked about the events in the show..." He snapped his fingers. "Remember Evilmon?"
"Yeah," Takato said, trying to figure out what Lee was getting at. Then it clicked. "You think it was one of Piemon's Evilmon?"
"Maybe," Lee told him, watching as Renamon delivered lightning fast kicks to Devimon's abdomen. "I mean, we still know next to nothing about the Digital World..."
"Nii-chan!" Shuichon squealed. "You mean we can meet V-mon and Daisuke?"
Lee groaned while Takato raised an eyebrow inquiringly. "She thinks V-mon and Daisuke are cute," Lee explained. He knelt before Shuichon. "Shuichon, I said MAYBE," he said, stressing the 'maybe'.
"Too bad," Juri sighed. "Takeru is so cute!" She smiled slightly. "But not as cute as Takato-kun!"
Takato blushed as Lee sniggered and began to say something.
"Finish him,Renamon!" Ruki ordered, interrupting Lee( much to Takato's relief). The Tamers looked back at the fight. Devimon was staggering, while Renamon leapt backwards in a fighting pose. Ruki smirked at the others. "He doesn't seem so tough now, does he?" she smirked.
Renamon attacked relentlessly, trying to avoid giving Devimon a chance to counterattack or escape. The Fallen Angel Digimon gritted his teeth as lightning fast punches and kicks battered him. Ruki called out to him. "Where are your boasts now, Devimon?" she taunted.
Devimon's grimace of pain suddenly twisted into an evil smile. "I prefer to boast when victory is assured!" he laughed. "Like NOW!" He raised his hand and caught Renamon's foot as she tried to deliver a powerful kick. With a flick of his wrist, he threw Renamon up into the air. The graceful humanoid fox spun in mid-air, crossing her arms and preparing for her Fox Leaf Arrowhead technique.
"Fox Leaf Arrowhead!" she called, launching dozens of projectiles made of light at Devimon.
Smirking, Devimon suddenly sank into the ground, Renamon's attack tearing up the ground harmlessly. "Wha?" Ruki gasped.
"That's what he did to Leomon in 01!" Takato yelled. "He'll try to attack from behind!"
"True," rasped a voice from behind. "You seem to know a lot about me, child..." The Tamers whirled around and screamed as Devimon's smiling face greeted them. "Which makes you a threat! DIE!"
"Ruki!" Renamon shouted, running towards her partner. Leomon drew his sword and blocked Devimon's attack. Smirking, Devimon leapt back and spread his wings, avoiding the Adult's counter blow and taking to the air. Takato froze when he saw something in his hand.
"Watch out!" he warned."A Black Gear!"
"A Leomon served me well once before," Devimon laughed, preparing to throw the gear. Leomon stood protectively in front of Juri and raised his sword. "But I think you'll serve me better!" Devimon hurled the Gear at Guilmon but as Takato screamed at Guilmon to dodge it, the Gear suddenly stopped in mid-air and reversed direction.
"Agh!" Renamon cried as the Gear struck her in the chest. She collapsed as it disappeared into her body.
"Renamon!" Ruki screamed, running towards her friend. The other Digimon began piling on Devimon.
"Fireball!" Devimon avoided the fireball Guilmon launched easily.
"Fist of the Beast King!"
"Blazing Fire!"
"Blazing Ice!"
Leomon, Terriermon and Lopmon launched their various attacks, but Devimon simply laughed and continued dodging them. "Is that your best?" he taunted. "Not good enough!"
"Renamon!" Ruki gasped as she arrived at her friend's side. "Are you all right?" Renamon panted for a moment before looking up at her partner. "Renamon?" Ruki said, surprised at the blank look on Renamon's face. "Agh!" The yellow humanoid fox slammed her fist into Ruki's abdomen, causing her to double up in pain. Rising to her feet, the slim female Digimon delivered a vicious backhand, knocking the girl off her feet as Juri screamed.
"Ruki!" Lee yelled, running to help. Terriermon broke off his attack to follow him.
"What did you do to her?" Takato demanded.
Devimon smirked. "You seem to know a lot about me," he mocked. "I'm sure you can guess...But for now, I must bid you farewell!" Laughing, the Dark Messenger flew off into the night.
"Not so fast!" Leomon yelled. He made as if to run after the withdrawing villian, but Juri clutched his arm.
"Leomon!" she cried. "We have to help Takato-kun and Lee-kun!" Leomon twisted around and saw Guilmon and Terriermon battling Renamon, while Lee was kneeling at Ruki's side, her head on his lap. Takato hovered nearby, alternatively cheering the Digimon and asking Lee if Ruki was alright. Shiuchon was already running towards her brother, Lopmon at her side.
"Fox Leaf Arrowhead!" Renamon shouted, her attack forcing Guilmon and Terriermon to scatter.
Guilmon and Terriermon were handicapped by the fact they couldn't go all out on their possessed friend. Renamon on the other hand, was under no such restriction as she demonstrated by hitting Guilmon with a quick combination of kicks and punches. "Guilmon!" Takato cried as the red Digimon fell to the ground. Renamon raised her hand to finish him, but before she could, Terriermon re-entered the fray.
"Petit Twister!" Renamon evaded Terriermon, but was in a perfect position for Lopmon to use...
"Petit Twister!" Lopmon yelled, using the exact same attack as his brother. He slammed into Renamon, but she somersaulted in mid-air and backflipped away.
"Renamon," Ruki moaned as she regained conciousness. "Wha?" She opened her eyes and saw Lee's worried face.
"You okay?"
"Wha-wha-" Ruki stuttered as she realised Lee was cradling her head in his lap. Sitting up quickly, she turned to face the boy. "What do you think you're doing?" she yelled. "Where's Renamon?" Lee sighed and pointed in the direction of the battle, which was now joined by Leomon. Despite their numerical advantage, the Tamers' Digimon were having a hard time dodging Renamon and going against their urge to fight back. "What's wrong with her?" Ruki demanded.
"Devimon hit her with one of his Black Gears!" Takato explained. "She's under his control now!"
"What?" Ruki cried. "How do we help her?" She turned back to the battle. "Renamon..." The possessed Digimon leapt towards Guilmon, but Leomon blocked her attack and delivered a powerful punch which sent her flying.
"Takato-kun!" Juri said, clutching the boy's arm. "Can't you do anything?" She watched as Renamon swept Leomon's feet from under him, then dodged Terriermon and Lopmon's attacks. "They might hurt each other!"
"Nii-chan!" Shuichon cried tearfully. "Renamon's going to get hurt!"
Lee, a pained look on his face, glanced at Ruki. The red-haired girl shook with emotion, though he couldn't tell whether it was rage or grief. "Takato," he said to his friend. "How did they remove a Black Gear in 01?"
Takato thought for a moment. "They...they..." he started. "I know! They hit the Digimon where the Black Gear was!"
"Huh?" Juri said, confused.
Takato explained. "When Andromon had a Black Gear inside him, Kabuterimon shot him in the leg and destroyed it!"
"So if we hit Renamon where the Black Gear entered her body, we can save her!" Lee concluded.
"Then let's do it!" Ruki said with determination. "Katou-san," Takato said. "Tell Leomon to keep Renamon busy while we get ready."
"Okay,Takato-kun!"
"Terriermon! Lopmon! Guilmon!" Lee called. "Quick, get over here!" The three Digimon looked from Renamon to Lee. "We've got a plan!"
Renamon tried to go after them, but Leomon was suddenly in her way.
"I am your opponent," he declared as he raised his sword.
"Fine by me," Renamon snarled, running towards him. "Fox Leaf Arrowhead!"
"Fist of the Beast-"
"Leomon-san!" Juri called. "Don't hurt her!" Leomon stopped his attack at the last moment, instead turning the super-charged punch into a normal one. The blow staggered Renamon, but her attack stunned Leomon, knocking him off balance.
Both fighters took a moment to catch their breath before continuing. Despite Leomon's superior strength, he had to restrain himself while Renamon hit him with everything she had. Meanwhile, Lee quickly explained his plan to the others. "...got it?" he finished. The three Digimon nodded and dashed off.
"Jen," Takato said. "Are you sure this will work?"
"It had better!" Ruki snarled at Lee. "If anything happens to Renamon..."
"Quiet!" Lee replied harshly. "Get your cards ready!" His eyes were focused on the melee, his jaw set in a grim line. "NOW!"
"Double Petit Twister!" Terriermon and Lopmon yelled together. The two floppy-eared Digimons twirled in mid-air and slammed into Renamon. The bigger Digimon fell back, then leapt high into the air.
"Fow Leaf Arrowhead!" she cried, bombarding the brothers.
"Card Slash!" Takato called, sliding his White Wings card through his D-Arc.
Guilmon dove out of the sky, wings on his back. "Fireball!" Renamon blocked the attack and landed nimbly on her feet.
"Leomon!" Lee yelled. "Now! Hit her in the chest!"
"Right!" the large Digimon acknowledged, diving down at Renamon, his sword glittering in the evening light. "Hyaaaaaah!" A gash appeared in Renamon's chest and she cried in pain as Leomon's attack connected. She collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust. The Black Gear appeared out of her body, flew up into the air and disintegrated.
"Renamon!" Ruki called, running to her partner's side. "Renamon, are you alright?"
"R-Ruki?" Renamon asked groggily. "What happened? My...head..." The female fox clutched her head in pain.
"Take it easy," Lee said kindly. "You've been through a lot!"
Leomon offered Renamon a hand up. "I'll say this," he rumbled with a grudging respect. "You're strong, for a Child level, that is." He chuckled. "I would hate to have had to fight you at Adult level!"
"Hey!" Takato yelped as he realised how dark it was. "It's getting late!"
Lee looked at his watch. "Ugh, you're right!" He cupped his chin in his hand thoughtfully. "We'll meet at the bunker tomorrow after school and try to figure out a way to deal with Devimon. That all right with everyone?"
The other Tamers nodded. "Wait, Jen," Takato said. "Hirokazu and Kenta won't be back 'till next week!"
"We could wait until they get back," Juri suggested. Lee shook his head.
"Too risky. If we wait for Hirokazu and Kenta, we might have more firepower and cards, but Devimon would too. If he uses the Black Gears, he might have an army of Digimon to use against us."
"So our best chance is to take him out now, while he's weak!" Ruki concluded, clenching her fist.
Shuichon yawned. Lee noticed and cut the conversation short. "Look, we'll discuss it tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay!"
Lee lay in his bed, racking his mind on how to beat Devimon. He hated to see Digimon fight, but understood it was sometimes necessary and part of their nature. Devimon just seemed to kill so casually... As long as Devimon was around, they were all at risk. Then an idea hit him. "That's it!" he said to himself. Getting up, he dressed and snuck out of the house.
Takato sat on his bed, checking his cards. If Devimon came after them again, he'd be ready. A tap on his window startled him. "Culumon, that had better be you!" he said nervously as he drew the curtain. Someone was standing on the balcony, motioning to Takato to open the window. "Jen?"
"Takato!" Lee whispered urgently. "Open up! It's freezing out here!"
"What are you doing here?" Takato asked as he let Lee in.
"Listen," Lee explained. "I've got an idea! I need you to lend me..." He whispered to Takato, who nodded and began digging in his closet. He found what he was looking for and handed it to Lee. "Thanks!"
"What are you going to do with it?" Takato asked curiously.
"You'll see!" Lee grinned as he left."Ja ne!" Takato stared as the boy disappeared into the night.
"And people think Katou-san's weird..."
