Author's notes: After my account 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. 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
Author's notes: ********* means a scene change.
Digimon Tamers: Dark Wing
Vamdemon's desperation! Belial Vamdemon awakes!

"Black Tornado!" Whirling in the air, BlackWarGreymon piledrived his way through Vamdemon's forces, mercilessly ripping through the enemy on his way to Vamdemon. "Your head is mine, Vamdemon!"
"Not in this lifetime!" Vamdemon retorted, leaping away. "Cloud Minion!" Swinging his arm, he launched what looked like glowing clouds at the Ultimate.
"Grrraaaaahhhh!" With a ferocious war-cry, the Dark Ultimate charged forward, ignoring the the clouds as they struck, exploding and burning him.
As the black-armoured Digimon raged and cut his way to Vamdemon, Takato and his friends watched, their mouths agape. Takato whispered in shock. "Black...BlackWarGreymon..."
Lee nodded. "I don't believe it..."
"Believe it, brats." The Tamers looked up and saw something walking down the wall. Even for a Digimon, it was a strange, almost surreal creature. It's upper body was humanoid, but it had a round spider-like body and legs underneath. Shaggy white hair, horns and a frightening, demonic face glared down at them as the Digimon leapt off the wall at them. "Spider Thread!"
Strings of silvery white thread shot out of her hands aimed at the Tamers. "Aaah!" Juri screamed as one of them wrapped around her waist. The other Tamers also found themselves tangled up in the new-arrival's web.
"What are you doing?" Leomon demanded, bringing his sword up.
"Saving your lives!" the Digimon retorted, snapping her hands and pulling the Tamers to her. "Follow me, unless you're eager to die!" Leomon and the other Digimon aimed at her in response. Arukenimon sighed in frustration. "Look behind you, idiots." Whirling around, they saw a horde of Digimon charging at them. "BlackWarGreymon is powerful," Arukenimon called down to them, "but he can't be everywhere. Now," she added as she continued scrambling up the wall. "Are you coming?"
**************
"Urgh!" Vamdemon fell back, his sleeve torn. "Stop him, you fools!" he screamed at his troops as he clutched his wounded arm.
"It doesn't matter how many Digimon you send against me, Vamdemon," BlackWarGreymon told him. "The result will still be the same." He raised one of his Dramon Killers, pointing at the Perfect. "I am the strongest. I am unbeatable. As long as I have an enemy to fight, I cannot lose." His eyes narrowed. "Never."
Vamdemon stepped back. "I had hoped to save this surprise for Devimon," he said, reaching behind him. "But you leave me no choice!" He pulled out a card and threw it into the air. "VenomVamdemon!"
The card burst into flame, burning with a dark fire as it floated upwards. The flames began whirling, causing what looked like a black whirlwind which whipped the air around it. Part of the darkness Vamdemon had summoned through the Nightmare Soldiers card became drawn to it, forming a shapeless mass around the card.
"What?" BlackWarGreymon watched as the blob began shaping itself, solidifying into a huge Digimon. Its head resembled Vamdemon's, save for the twin horns that now adorned it. The upper half of its body was red and winged ,with long arms ending in huge leather-wrapped hands tipped with claws. The lower half was black with red markings, and there were massive claws on its feet. It gave a huge roar as it took a step forward, making the ground shake.
**************
"What is that?!" Juri said, staring fearfully at VenomVamdemon. Arukenimon stood some distance away, while Megalo Growmon, Rapidmon, Guardromon and Leomon kept a wary eye on her. Marine Angemon hovered beside Kenta, while Antiramon kept his eyes open for Vamdemon's card Digimon. The Tamers stood behind their Digimon, watching as BlackWarGreymon began attacking.
"VenomVamdemon. Virus. Demon Beast Digimon. Ultimate. Ultimate techniques: Venom Infuse, Tyrant Savage." Takato looked up from his D-Ark. "An Ultimate..."
"Can BlackWarGreymon handle it?" Lee asked aloud.
"We'll have to trust him." The Tamers turned to see Oikawa standing nearby. "I assume you have a base or something where you can plan a counter-attack?"
"Uh, yes," Lee answered. "We do."
"Then take us there. We have to plan if we're going to stop Devimon."
"Devimon?" Hirokazu repeated. "Vamdemon's the problem here!"
Guardromon shook his head. "Maybe," he told his partner. "But Devimon started this."
Oikawa nodded in agreement. "Despite how it seems, Devimon is the real threat, not Vamdemon."
"Boss!" Oikawa looked over the edge of the building. Mummymon stood below, beside a blue van. "I've got transport! We can go anytime you want!"
"Good." The sunken-eyed man turned to the Tamers. "We'll have to leave things to BlackWarGreymon for now. Let's go."
When the Tamers were hesitant, Arukenimon sighed. "Do we really have to help, Boss?" The spider-woman shook her head. "This isn't even our fight!" Oikawa fixed her with a calm, emotionless gaze. "...I'll wait with Mummymon." She leapt over the building's edge and climbed down the wall effortlessly.
Oikawa spoke to the Tamers. "I can understand if you don't trust me," he said. "But at this point, do you have a choice?"
"Takato." Lee waved his fellow Tamer over and huddled with the others. "I think we should be careful. Remember, Oikawa was possessed by Vamdemon. This might be some kind of trick."
"Yeah, but then why would he help us?" the goggle-wearing boy asked.
Lee shrugged. "Maybe he's trying to gain our trust?"
"But, Lee-kun, Vamdemon acted like he really tried to kill Oikawa-san," Juri pointed out.
"Gaia Force!" There was huge flash of light, followed by a massive explosion that knocked the Tamers off their feet.
"Whoa!" Hirokazu looked in the direction of BlackWarGreymon. "He's really going at it over there!"
"We don't have time to waste," Oikawa said, raising his voice slightly to try to regain their attention. "If you need proof I'm on your side," He raised his hand, "here." A blue glow surrounded him, and slowly a shining orb giving off a brilliant blue light appeared out of his chest.
Takato's eyes widened. "Th-that's..."
"One of Qinglongmon's Digicores." Oikawa lowered his hand, and the orb disappeared back into his body. "That is what is sustaining Mummymon, Arukenimon, BlackWarGreymon and myself, even though we are no longer of this world." His lips split into a slight smile. "Is that proof enough?"
Lee sighed. "Okay, I believe you."
"Then let's go," Oikawa smiled.
**************
"Black Tornado!" Spinning with his claws extended, BlackWarGreymon struck, tearing a gash in VenomVamdemon's arm and causing the Ultimate to roar in pain. "Dramon Killer!" Lashing out with his clawed gauntlets, the black-hued Dragon Man Digimon delivered fierce blows that staggered the Demon Beast. Taking advantage of his opponent's disorientation, BlackWarGreymon flew up to deliver a killing blow to VenomVamdemon's face. "Die!"
"Bloody Stream!" Crimson energy bolts tore through the air, forcing him to cancel his attack to dodge them. "Did you forget about me, BlackWarGreymon?" Vamdemon asked, his hands outstretched.
"What?" BlackWarGreymon hovered in the air, his eyes moving from VenomVamdemon to Vamdemon. "How?"
"Simple. I realised after my first transformation into VenomVamdemon that I was a mindless beast in the form. Like this," he waved in VenomVamdemon's direction. "I still have my intelligence, but also the brute force of my Ultimate form. And the best part is it won't betray me because despite being of two bodies we are still of one mind."
BlackWarGreymon considered the information. "Then if I kill you, it will die as well!" He dove down, pulling back his fist.
"You won't find it quite so simple!" Vamdemon flew upwards, dodging BlackWarGreymon's diving attack. "Tyrant Savage!"
VenomVamdemon's claws began glowing at Vamdemon's words. "What?!" BlackWarGreymon blurted out as the Demon Beast Digimon swung its arm with surprising speed. "Urgh!"
"As you can see," Vamdemon gloated. "I am the one in control!"
BlackWarGreymon growled as he righted himself in mid-air. "Grrrhhhh..." His eyes glinted dangerously. "GAIA FORCE!" A huge ball of energy formed in the Dragon Man's hands as he flew upwards.
"Venom Infuse," commanded Vamdemon. The red markings on VenomVamdemon's lower body began glowing. A stream of multi-coloured energy blasted out of the markings, lighting the dark sky.
"...!" BlackWarGreymon kept coming, diving under the energy stream at the last second. The Venom Infuse struck a building, causing a huge explosion that caused it to collapse. "Kurae!" With a quick burst of speed, the Black Ultimate flew upwards, smashing the fireball in his hands into VenomVamdemon's face before kicking away and flying away to a safe distance.
**************
Juri shrieked and clutched Takato's arm as the shockwave from BlackWarGreymon and VenomVamdemon's battle hit the van they were travelling in. "What was that?" she gasped.
Leomon looked out of the rear window. "It looks like BlackWarGreymon's winning."
"It wouldn't be so sure of that." Oikawa leaned in his seat, his eyes closed and his arms folded in front of him. "Vamdemon is more resourceful than you think."
"Boss," Mummymon called from the driver seat. "Which way?"
Lee leaned over the shotgun seat, pointing the way. "There."
Guardromon, flying alongside the van using his jets, called out to Hirokazu. "I'll go on ahead and tell them we're coming!"
"Okay!" Hirokazu called back.
As the brown robotic Digimon flew ahead, Takato spoke to Oikawa. "Oikawa-san..."
"Hmmm?"
"Why do you say Devimon's the bigger threat?"
Oikawa shut his eyes thoughtfully. "Quite frankly, I'm not entirely sure myself."
Kenta raised his voice. "So why...?"
"The Holy Beasts warned us that the...'Dark Messenger' is a far more dangerous threat than Vamdemon is."
"Any ideas why?" Lee asked.
Arukenimon, in her human form, answered from the shotgun seat. "Considering he's the one behind the Black Gears, I suspect he might be the one who first came up with the Evil Rings and Dark Towers as well. That alone makes him responsible for all the suffering those things caused."
"I've just thought of something," Terriermon said.
"What is it, Terriermon?" Lee asked.
The cream-coloured, floppy-eared Digimon cocked his head. "Vamdemon's running around here, right?"
"Yes...so?"
"So where's Devimon?"
***************
At that moment, Devimon was flying back to Shinjuku. His eyes glowed as he sped up, flying faster. In his hands, he held a huge ball that looked like it was made of pure Darkness. And behind him flew a number of cards, all glowing with a purple, demonic light.
***************
VenomVamdemon fell to the ground, its face singed and burned by the point-blank Gaia Force. Vamdemon seethed. "Do you think it will end so easily?"
"Do you never shut up?" BlackWarGreymon retorted, diving down and digging his claws into VenomVamdemon's chest, making it roar in pain. "Yeeeeeeearrrrrggh!" He dived towards the ground, ripping the Demon Beast's flesh using the Dramon Killer.
VenomVamdemon screamed as it was sliced open, data spilling from its wound. Vamdemon sighed. "It seems without some semblance of sentience, VenomVamdemon is not as strong as I hoped..."
BlackWarGreymon kicked the other Ultimate, sending it crashing to the ground. "And now, the final blow!" He flew up, another ball of energy forming in his hands. "Gaia Force!" He cut loose, hurling the energy ball with all the fury he could muster. There was a huge explosion, and Vamdemon raised his arms to protect his face. VenomVamdemon gave a final roar and fell, its body disolving into data.
"Ghhh...what a waste," Vamdemon cursed, lowering his cape. "No matter, I can always summon more..."
"No, you won't!" BlackWarGreymon roared, bursting out of the smoke and debris caused by the impact of his Gaia Force. "Dramon Killer Rocket!" He thrust at Vamdemon with his right arm, his Dramon Killer launching and tearing through the air.
"Urrrrk!" Vamdemon gasped as the Dramon Killer impaled him, the claws sticking out of his back. "...I...how...this can't be...not again!" A shudder ran through his body, and the Perfect went limp, falling from the sky.
"Rrraaaaaaagggghhhh!" BlackWarGreymon roared, victorious. He looked down at his hand as a new Dramon Killer formed. "Now," he said, looking around. "To find Oikawa and decide who I must fight next." With a final glance to make sure his enemies were dead, the Dark Ultimate flew in the direction of the Hypnos building, his senses telling him where to go.
**************
"Curse you, BlackWarGreymon..." Vamdemon wheezed as he rose to his feet, the Dramon Killer still imbedded in his chest. "I won't...die...again!" He clutched the clawed gauntlet, gritting his teeth, and pulled. Slowly, painfully, the Dramon Killer was pulled out, and with a final tearing sound Vamdemon pulled it out and threw it away. He collapsed to his knees, wheezing and panting. "No...it can't end like this..." The vampiric Perfect looked up into the sky, seeing the data that was once VenomVamdemon floating in the air. His face twisted into a sinister smile. "Perhaps..." he panted. "It won't after all..."
He struggled to his feet and clutched his hands into fists. As his body began breaking up, he raised his hands towards the sky, as if in prayer. Then, suddenly, he exploded in a shower of black-coloured data.
**************
"Vamdemon's signal has stopped." Megumi looked up from her post at Yamaki. "I think it's over."
Yamaki nodded. "Keep your eyes open, just in case." He turned to Reika. "I'm going to check on the Tamers. Keep me informed."
"Right," Reika replied, glancing at her superior and significant other.
Acknowledging her with a brief nod, Yamaki left the room.
**************
As he walked into the large room that had been set aside for the Tamers' families, Yamaki was besieged with the sounds of healthy family life as parents checked their respective children for injuries and scolded them for making them worry. A pale-looking man flanked by a white-haired woman dressed in red and a blue-clad man with a face wrapped in bandages walked up to him. "Are you in charge here?"
Yamaki nodded. "I am."
"Oikawa Yukio," the man said, introducing himself.
Yamaki sized the pale man up through his dark glasses. "Yamaki."
"Yamaki-san," Takato called, running up to him with Guilmon and the others close behind. "Any news?"
"It looks like the threat is over. The Digimon at the center of the disturbance has been deleted."
"So why hasn't the cloud disappeared?" Lee wondered, glancing out a window at the city still shrouded in shadow.
"Simple," Oikawa told him. "It isn't over yet."
**************
"...!" BlackWarGreymon suddenly pulled himself to a halt as he sensed something. "What?" He whirled in mid-air and looked behind him. A black cloud was swirling in the air, malice and hate enemating from it. "Is that..."
"Pandemonium Flare!" A bolt of pure energy shot out of the cloud, lancing through the air and slicing through BlackWarGreymon's side.
"Aaargh!" The Dragon Man Digimon clutched at his wound as he looked up, anger and hate in his eyes. "I should've made sure you were dead..."
"A mistake you will not live to regret," rumbled a loud, powerful voice. The cloud began disappearing, revealing a new threat. A gigantic Digimon stood in the center of the devastated section of the city, surveying it with a smug satisfaction. It was demonic, clad in white armour with long, insectoid arms that ended in cruel-looking claws. Its shoulders had the appearance of shark heads lined with razor sharp teeth, and a long, powerful-looking tail that whipped the ground. A blood-red bat symbol decorated its white-and-blue armoured chest and evil eyes glared through a red mask. A shock of shaggy blonde hair decorated its head and there was a collar-like armour around the creature's neck. A huge blue pair of wings were on its back, positioned like a hang glider. "Against me, any mistake will be your last!" The mouths of the Digimon's shoulder 'heads' opened as it yelled. "Die, BlackWarGreymon! Melting Blood!"
"Aaarghh!" BlackWarGreymon was suddenly struck by drops of rain, spewed forth by the mouths into the air. He grit his teeth as he felt them melting his armour and burning his flesh. "Black Tornado!" he roared, ignoring the pain as he made tried to counter-attack.
"Pandemonium Flare!" The Digimon fired a gigantic blast, which engulfed BlackWarGreymon before exploding. As the sky cleared, the Digimon began laughing. "Let this be the fate of all who challenge me! No one, NO ONE will escape the wrath of Belial Vamdemon!"

Takato: Belial Vamdemon...the Chosen Children were barely able to beat him...
Hirokazu: Is it going to end like this?
Lee: No, never! It's not over! We're not beaten yet!
Ruki: Renamon...I'm coming for you! We won't let Devimon win!
Digimon Tamers: Dark Wing! The Holy Beasts' gamble!

Author's notes: "Kurae!" can be translated as meaning "Eat This!" but somehow it doesn't have as much force. "Kurae!" on the other hand is a fairly common thing to say when a character launches an attack.

Guardromon shook his head. "Maybe," he told his partner. "But Devimon started this."
Oikawa nodded in agreement. "Despite how it seems, Devimon is the real threat, not Vamdemon."

"Good." The sunken-eyed man turned to the Tamers. "We'll have to leave things to BlackWarGreymon for now. Let's go."
When the Tamers were hesitant, Arukenimon sighed. "Do we really have to help, Boss?" The spider-woman shook her head. "This isn't even our fight!" Oikawa fixed her with a calm, emotionless gaze. "...I'll wait with Mummymon." She leapt over the building's edge and climbed down the wall effortlessly.
Oikawa spoke to the Tamers. "I can understand if you don't trust me," he said. "But at this point, do you have a choice?"
"Takato." Lee waved his fellow Tamer over and huddled with the others. "I think we should be careful. Remember, Oikawa was possessed by Vamdemon. This might be some kind of trick."
"Yeah, but then why would he help us?" the goggle-wearing boy asked.
Lee shrugged. "Maybe he's trying to gain our trust?"
"But, Lee-kun, Vamdemon acted like he really tried to kill Oikawa-san," Juri pointed out.
"Gaia Force!" There was huge flash of light, followed by a massive explosion that knocked the Tamers off their feet.
"Whoa!" Hirokazu looked in the direction of BlackWarGreymon. "He's really going at it over there!"
"We don't have time to waste," Oikawa said, raising his voice slightly to try to regain their attention. "If you need proof I'm on your side," He raised his hand, "here." A blue glow surrounded him, and slowly a shining orb giving off a brilliant blue light appeared out of his chest.

With a final glance to make sure his enemies were dead, the Dark Ultimate flew in the direction of the Hypnos building, his senses telling him where to go.

"Curse you, BlackWarGreymon..." Vamdemon wheezed as he rose to his feet, the Dramon Killer still imbedded in his chest. "I won't...die...again!" He clutched the clawed gauntlet, gritting his teeth, and pulled. Slowly, painfully, the Dramon Killer was pulled out, and with a final tearing sound Vamdemon pulled it out and threw it away. He collapsed to his knees, wheezing and panting. "No...it can't end like this..." The vampiric Perfect looked up into the sky, seeing the data that was once VenomVamdemon floating in the air. His face twisted into a sinister smile. "Perhaps..." he panted. "It won't after all..."
He struggled to his feet and clutched his hands into fists. As his body began breaking up, he raised his hands towards the sky, as if in prayer. Then, suddenly, he exploded in a shower of black-coloured data.

"Vamdemon's signal has stopped." Megumi looked up from her post at Yamaki. "I think it's over."
Yamaki nodded. "Keep your eyes open, just in case." He turned to Reika. "I'm going to check on the Tamers. Keep me informed."
"Right," Reika replied, glancing at her superior and significant other.
Acknowledging her with a brief nod, Yamaki left the room.
**************
As he walked into the large room that had been set aside for the Tamers' families, Yamaki was besieged with the sounds of healthy family life as parents checked their respective children for injuries and scolded them for making them worry. A pale-looking man flanked by a white-haired woman dressed in red and a blue-clad man with a face wrapped in bandages walked up to him. "Are you in charge here?"
Yamaki nodded. "I am."
"Oikawa Yukio," the man said, introducing himself.
Yamaki sized the pale man up through his dark glasses. "Yamaki."
"Yamaki-san," Takato called, running up to him with Guilmon and the others close behind. "Any news?"
"It looks like the threat is over. The Digimon at the center of the disturbance has been deleted."
"So why hasn't the cloud disappeared?" Lee wondered, glancing out a window at the city still shrouded in shadow.
"Simple," Oikawa told him. "It isn't over yet."

"...!" BlackWarGreymon suddenly pulled himself to a halt as he sensed something. "What?" He whirled in mid-air and looked behind him. A black cloud was swirling in the air, malice and hate enemating from it. "Is that..."
"Pandemonium Flare!" A bolt of pure energy shot out of the cloud, lancing through the air and slicing through BlackWarGreymon's side.
"Aaargh!" The Dragon Man Digimon clutched at his wound as he looked up, anger and hate in his eyes. "I should've made sure you were dead..."
"A mistake you will not live to regret," rumbled a loud, powerful voice. The cloud began disappearing, revealing a new threat. A gigantic Digimon stood in the center of the devastated section of the city, surveying it with a smug satisfaction. It was demonic, clad in white armour with long, insectoid arms that ended in cruel-looking claws. Its shoulders had the appearance of shark heads lined with razor sharp teeth, and a long, powerful-looking tail that whipped the ground. A blood-red bat symbol decorated its white-and-blue armoured chest and evil eyes glared through a red mask. A shock of shaggy blonde hair decorated its head and there was a collar-like armour around the creature's neck. A huge blue pair of wings were on its back, positioned like a hang glider. "Against me, any mistake will be your last!" The mouths of the Digimon's shoulder 'heads' opened as it yelled. "Die, BlackWarGreymon! Melting Blood!"
"Aaarghh!" BlackWarGreymon was suddenly struck by drops of rain, spewed forth by the mouths into the air. He grit his teeth as he felt them melting his armour and burning his flesh. "Black Tornado!" he roared, ignoring the pain as he made tried to counter-attack.
"Pandemonium Flare!" The Digimon fired a gigantic blast, which engulfed BlackWarGreymon before exploding. As the sky cleared, the Digimon began laughing. "Let this be the fate of all who challenge me! No one, NO ONE will escape the wrath of Belial Vamdemon!"

Author's notes: "Kurae!" can be translated as meaning "Eat This!" but somehow it doesn't have as much force. "Kurae!" on the other hand is a fairly common thing to say when a character launches an attack.
