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

DEVIMON'S RAMPAGE! RUN, TAMERS, RUN!

The next day, Takato and Juri went looking for Lee during break. They found him in his classroom, trying to keep his eyes open. "Jen!" Takato greeted. "You okay?"

"I'm okay, Takato," Lee replied, yawning. "I'm just tired, that's all..."

"What happened?" Juri asked.

"I was up all night working on a plan against Devimon," Lee told her. "Guess...I'm still out of it..."

"So what did you come up with?" Takato asked the blue-haired boy.

"I'll tell you later. Just let me...know...when school's...out..." Lee's head landed on his table with a thump and he began snoring softly. Takato and Juri sweatdropped.


Devimon was confused, as much as he hated to admit it. He was hunting for more Digimon to absorb since he still felt too weak to make more Black Gears. The one he'd used on Renamon already taxed his strength. But now...he looked down at the strange creature he'd found. The small Digimon stared back at him. "Culu?"

"What...are you?" Devimon asked.

"Culumon!" Culumon replied, his ears opening. He looked up at the taller Digimon. "Who're you?"

"D-Devimon." Devimon was not sure what this creature was. No one, not even the Dark Masters, had ever spoken to him without any fear or respect before. Also, there was something about this Digimon which demanded respect...a power he hadn't felt since he stood before the Four Holy Beasts.

"Are you a friend of Takato and the others?" Culumon asked, flying up to look into Devimon's eyes.

"A friend?" Devimon repeated. "Hardly."

"Oh, too bad!" Culumon said, landing again. "I've got to go now, Devimon! Bye!" The little Digimon hopped off, going "Culu!Culu!" all the while. Devimon sweatdropped, watching the white-coloured Digimon disappear into the shadows.

"Strange creature," he muttered under his breath. "No matter. There will be time to study it once I've dealt with the Chosen." He noticed a playground, and a large number of children. "Well, well, well..."


"Where is he?" Takato and Juri waited outside the school gate for Lee, but he hadn't appeared yet.

"Maybe he got held up?" Juri suggested.

"Jen? Held up?"

"Oi!" someone called out. A boy Takato recognised as one of Lee's classmates ran up to them. "Are you Takato?" Takato nodded. "Lee-kun said to go on without him," the boy told them. "He said he was going to be a bit late."

"Did he say why?" Juri asked.



Ruki stalked in front of Guilmon's bunker, looking annoyed. "Where is that goggle-head?" Renamon stood hidden in the trees, while Leomon watched Ruki walk around in circles. Guilmon was blissfully playing with Culumon. "Ghh..." Ruki growled. "They tell me to get here as soon as possible, then they take their own sweet time getting here!"

Leomon chuckled. "One would think you were eager to see them...or is it him?"

Ruki turned to glare at him. "What?!"

Still chuckling, Leomon met her gaze. "Nothing," the battle-scarred Adult rumbled. "I just thought it seemed as though you were eager to see Takato-san."

Up in the trees, Renamon shook with supressed laughter.

"Me?" Ruki said, aghast. "Eager to see him?"

"Perhaps it is Jenrya you are eager to see," Renamon called down.

"Renamon!" Ruki cried, shocked that her own Digimon partner would even suggest such a thing.

"I'm just joking, Ruki," Renamon assured her. The sound of laughter interrupted them. Everyone looked to see Takato and Juri appear in the clearing and make their way towards the group.

"It's about time!" Ruki said angrily. "What took so long?"

"Sorry," Takato apologised. "We were waiting for Jen, but he didn't show."

Juri continued. "Then one of Lee-kun's classmates came up and told us he had detention for sleeping in class!"

"Jen?" Ruki repeated in disbelief. "Detention?"



"Onii-chan's in trouble! Onii-chan's in trouble!" Shuichon said in a sing-song voice. Lee walked behind her, holding Terriermon like a huge stuffed toy. He grumbled under his breath.

"Shuichon..." he growled. "I've had a rough enough day without you making it worse..."

Shuichon quieted down, clutching Lopmon tighter. "Onii-chan's in trouble, Onii-chan's in trouble..." she chanted to herself.

Sighing, Lee began making his way to Guilmon's bunker, Shuichon following. "Take it easy, Jen," Terriermon suggested. "You're too uptight today."

Lee smiled at his friend. "I'm just grumpy, I guess..." As soon as he entered the clearing, he realised the day wasn't going to get better anytime soon. Ruki was smiling for one thing.

"Jen...why is Ruki smiling?"

"I wish I knew..."

"I'm scared."

"Me too, Terriermon."

"Moumantai!"


"So," Ruki greeted, grinning. "How was detention?"

Lee growled. "I'd rather not talk about it." He took another look at her smiling face and added, "One more word and I'll sic Galgomon at you with both barrels blazing." Ruki smirked and raised her hands in a gesture of peace.

"So, Jen," Takato said, trying to defuse a potentially explosive situation. "What's this plan of yours?"

"Well," Lee said. "It's like this. We're dealing with the Devimon from Digimon 01, right?"

"Right," Takato agreed.

"So my plan is..." The sound of screaming cut through the air, interrupting them. The Tamers and their Digimon were suddenly at full alert, looking around for the source of the scream.

"Where'd that come from?"

"The children's playground!" Ruki cried. "This way!" She charged away, leading the other Tamers straight to the playground. They could see kids running and screaming, and they quickly identified the cause of the panic as a now-familiar dark figure standing tall in the midst of the panic.

"Devimon..." Renamon hissed. The Fallen Angel Digimon was holding some cards in his leather-wrapped hands, which he quickly disarded to face the Tamers.

"Ah, the Chosen!" He cocked his head and smirked. "And Renamon! I must admit, I'm surprised to see you!"

"I owe you, Devimon..." the yellow fox growled.

Devimon chuckled. "I'm afraid you'll have to take a number." He looked surprised for a moment. "Weren't there five of you?"

Surprised, the Tamers looked around. "Where'd Jen go?" Ruki said.

"Onii-chan?"

Devimon laughed. "My,my,my...Did one of your friends loose his nerve?"

Ruki glared. "What right do you have to talk about him like that? He's worth a dozen of you!"

"Hmph." Devimon folded his arms in a gesture of annoyance. "How so very touching."

"Enough talk!" Leomon roared. "You will not escape this time, Devimon!"

"Is that right?" Devimon smirked. "I'm at full strength now, Leomon. It will be you who will not escape me!"

"Is that supposed to frighten us?" Renamon snarled.

"Ah, well," Devimon shrugged. "Actions speak louder than words..." He leapt into the air, spreading his ragged wings wide. "Razor Wing!"


The Tamers scattered as their Digimon attacked, dodging the energy projectiles Devimon launched as the blasts ripped up the gorund around them. "Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon roared as he launched a flaming lion's head made of energy.

"Blazing Ice!" Lopmon yelled.

Guilmon leapt forwards, crying out "Fireball!" and launching a ball of flame at the Fallen Angel Digimon.

Renamon leapt up to meet Devimon in mid-air, crossing her arms before her. "Fox Leaf Arrowhead!"

As Takato, Juri, Shuichon and Ruki watched, the attacks hit Devimon head on. A massive explosion resulted, and when the smoke cleared, Devimon was still floating in the air, his wings wrapped protectively around him. As his wings unfolded, he looked up at them, a cruel smile on his face. "Was that it?"

Takato and Ruki reached for their cards. Devimon noticed and reached towards them, the black gem in his forehead glittering meancingly. Out of his abnormally long arms came a stream of purple energy which streaked towards the Tamers, causing a massive explosion that knocked them back. The Digimon took advantage of Devimon's distraction to launch another attack, but as they drew near Devimon whirled in mid-air and reached towards them. A wave of evil energy hit the Tamers and the Digimon, hurling them to the ground and pinning them down. "I warned you I was full power this time." The Dark Digimon landed, and slowly walked towards the now helpless Tamers.

Leomon roared with rage as he tried to stand. Renamon snarled in anger as she began struggling to her feet. Guilmon and Lopmon were unable to do no more than struggle vainly.

Chuckling evilly, Devimon walked up to Takato. The boy could do little more than glared defiantly into the Digimon's red eyes. "You gave me quite a bit of trouble, boy," Devimon said, casually looking at his claws. "I should dispose of you first..." He knelt by the boy, tracing his claws along Takato's jaw. His eyes hardened as he suddenly slashed at the brown-haired boy.

"TAKATO!" Juri screamed.

Takato slowly opened his eyes. Devimon's claws were imbedded in the ground, inches away from his head. His magenta eyes widened as Devimon pulled his hand back. "Did you think I would kill you right away?" the Dark Messenger asked. "No, Child, not yet. However..." He looked over his shoulder to look at Shuichon. "The smaller ones are often more dangerous." He turned and made his way to where his dark power pinned the young girl to the ground. Seeing this, Lopmon struggled harder, but to no avail. Devimon stood over the terrified girl, his hand raised as it began glowing.

"Devimon, you coward!" Ruki screamed.

"If it's any consolation," Devimon said to Shuichon, ignoring Ruki. "I'll make your end swift. Death-" Suddenly, out of the forest came a voice which made Devimon pause in mid-blow.

"Patamon! Shinkaaaa!"

"What?!" Devimon roared, twirling round to face the direction of the voice. "That's...!"

"Angemon!" called out the voice, now that of a young man. Devimon snarled as he recognised the voice. "Heaven Knuckle!" A blast of energy tore out of the trees, slamming into Devimon and sending him crashing into a slide. His spell broken, the Tamers and the Digimon quickly got to their feet.

Juri looked at Takato with wide eyes. "Takato-kun...was that...?"
Takato glanced at the forest, then looked to the twisted pile of metal that was once a slide. "I don't think we should hang around here...everyone! To the forest!"

"No!" Ruki snarled at him. "I'm not running away!"

"Our Digimon can't beat him right now!" Takato said, trying to sway her. "We need to find Jen and think up a plan!"

"You will not escape me, Chosen!" assured Devimon as he began tearing his way out of the tangled remains of the slide.

"Ruki, Jenrya is missing," Renamon reasoned with her partner. "He might be in some sort of danger."

Ruki frowned as she considered the suggestion. "Fine," she said grudgingly. "Let's go."

"Quickly!" Leomon said as he picked Juri and Ruki up and ran for the forest, the others right behind them.

As they ran, Takato saw someone standing by a tree. "Takato! Over here!"

"Jen!"

The Tamers reached their friend as Leomon put Ruki and Juri down. "Jenrya!" Ruki said angrily. "Where were you?"

Lee took a step back from the venom in the redhead's voice. "Uh...I was...I...er...that is..."

"Was that Angemon?" Takato interrupted.

Lee gestured them to be silent. "I'll explain later! Come on!"


"Wretched Chosen brats..." Devimon hissed as he tore himself free of the metal. "I'll have their heads for this!"

"Halt!" a voice commanded. Turning, Devimon found himself facing a number of uniformed humans. They were aiming at him with what he recognised as small firearms. "Police!" one of them yelled. "Hands up!"

Devimon snorted. "Worthless vermin..." He raised his arms and cut loose with a blast of dark energy. The police were thrown into the air and hit the ground hard. "Fortunately for you," Devimon called over his shoulder as he started for the forest," I have bigger fish to fry." In seconds, he had entered the foliage.
