Me: hello and welcome to chapter 5 everyone!

Rika: oh great.

Me: Yes I know, you hate me blah blah blah. However before I begin I'd like to thank the people who read my past chapter and left some nice comments.

Rika; and the people who flamed us?

Me: they can bite me :D

Rika: damn straight

Me: just a little warning before you all go ahead and read this, there is some lime going on in this chapter. Nothing really graphic, but enough I think I should just warn you about.

Terriermon: bow chicka wow wow

Rika: dear god he's here now

Me: what do you expect, it's a tamers fan fic, and he always pops up in the intros. It's like a law or something.

Rika...

Chapter 5 Name of Darkness

-Unknown location-

"Yes master, Omnimon is heading towards the bakery..., yes I will begin the preparations at once."

-Matsuki Bakery-

Rika groaned as Takato kissed around her neck and silently cursed herself for letting Takato get to her. Before she had finally gotten Takato to talk with her about his nightmares, and his fear that he may be losing his sanity. Rika had held him for a while when he had been close to breaking down in front of her, hoping to calm him down, and reassure him she was here for him. A tight embrace had soon led to small kisses, which turned into deeper ones. And when Takato had noticed she wasn't wearing her bra, something she had just honestly forgotten in her hurry to change and see what was wrong with him this morning when she heard him going downstairs, the flood gates had opened and she made no attempt to stop him from slowly peeling her shirt up, kissing the whole way up.

"You are so bad, you know that goggle-head?"

Takato looked up after finishing a ring of kisses along the base of Rika's neck, "Says the girl without a shirt on." Takato went back to kissing her moving ever so slowly downward.

"Takato you know we are going to, oh lower please,..we are going to have to talk, oh god, about..about …." Rika trailed off when Takato's hands found the button to her jeans.

"Hmm hmm" was the only thing Takato said since his lips were currently busy kissing down the valley of Rika's breasts and right now, Rika was more than willing to accept that as an answer. However as fate, which goes hand in hand with horrible timing, would have it the Rika's cell phone not some three feet away decided to ring.

Takato looked up, startled from the ringing, "just ignore it Takato," and with some gentle pushing from Rika's hands, lowering his head back down, did so. After a bit her phone stopped ringing, however Takato's home phone started up.

"Maybe I should answer it."

"No please," Rika pleaded, "that's what your answering machine is for."

Takato looked at the phone, "it could be my parents...maybe the triplets are coming?" Takato got up and Rika sunk deeper into the couch, "you get me all worked up, with my shirt gone and my pants half way off...and then you go answer the phone. Your priorities are screwed beyond all reason."

Takato looked back guiltily as he picked up the phone, "hel- Mr. Yamaki? Do I know what? Do I know where Rika is ...uh," Takato looked over at Rika who did not look very happy at the moment, "yeah she's here with me...um right now isn't a very good time sir …. a what? A wild one?" Takato looked back at Rika who was still mad, "Can't you get maybe some one else to handle it?" Rika nodded in agreement. "Wait it's a mega? You're sure?" Takato looked back at Rika clearly conflicted. Rika arched an eye brow and mouthed back at him 'I'm half naked, and horny as hell.' Takato practically cried.

Both Rika and Takato both jumped when they heard a loud crash outside the house. Takato with phone in hand ran to the nearest window, while Rika quickly re-buttoned her pants and looked for her shirt that Takato had thrown somewhere. Takato looked out his window and gulped, "sir you were right about it being a mega." Rika turned to look at him, "How do I know sir? Well an Omnimon is standing right outside my house....I don't know what he wants sir...but I'll go out and see. Don't worry he's a royal knight and I can always fight him off." Takato tossed Rika the phone just as she found her shirt, "you might want to apologize to him. He was the one calling you."

Rika frowned as she caught the phone, "Where do you think your going?"

"Out side, to see what he wants...you might want to put some cloths on before you come out side too."

"Screw off."

"How about after this, and on my bed, that couch couldn't have been too comfy for you."

Rika blinked as Takato turned a corner calling for Guilmon who, to Rika's concern, seemed to come after him right away from just around the corner. 'Where had he been a few seconds ago?'

A few seconds later she felt the appearance of Renamon behind her, "tell me he doesn't watch us or anything...right?"

Turning to look at her partner she could swear she saw a smirk appear on the fox's mouth, "of course not...at least not after I explained to him that this yours two private time."

"AT-LEAST-NOT-AFTER!?"

"Shouldn't you get dressed," Renamon said suddenly more serious, "I don't know why Omnimon is here, but there may be trouble."

Rika nodded and began to look for her shirt and D-ark.

-Outside-

Opening his door Takato and Guilmon walked outside where Omnimon stood arms crossed staring right at Takato as he walked towards him. For some reason he suddenly felt a small uneasiness in the pit of his stomach, but he couldn't figure out why.

"Hi there Mr. Omnimon," Guilmon said looking up at the mega. Omnimon tilted his head but never took his eyes off of Takato.

"Hello Omnimon. Um what's going on?"

Omnimon looked back at Takato and slowly uncrossed his arms, "Tamer Takato I must ask you, are there and of the other tamers near by?"

Takato blinked, once then again, now he definitely knew something was up. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Rika and Renamon looking out a crack opened window and slowly motioned with his hand for her to say inside.

Rika frowned but move further away to make sure Omnimon couldn't see her. She still held the phone with.

"Yeah Mr. Yamaki can you hear them?" "Just barley. What do you think this Omnimon wants with Takato?" Rika looked out the window at Omnimon, "whatever it is...I have a feeling it won't be good. Have the others hang back so we can find out what's going on." "...Alright but at the first sign of trouble..." "Yeah..."

Takato, as he watched Omnimon move forward and continued to look down at him he felt the feeling in his stomach get worse. Even Guilmon noticed something was up.

"Tamer Takato, it gives me no pleaser to have to do this,"

Rika narrowed her eyes, her hand moving towards her D-ark. Renamon's fur began to stand on end.

"But by order of Fanglongmon, leader of the great four sovereign,"

Everyone in the Hypnos control room listened as the conversion was feed to them over large speakers, and Mitsuo Yamaki held his breath, praying as each second ticked by.

"And for the well being of both the digital world and the human world,"

Takato swore he was caged in. His back was against his house...this was not a good place to be, and Guilmon was about four or five paces to the right of Omnimon...not good.

"You are to be executed."

With one simple toss of a dice many events are set in motion, as is the same with the words of Omnimon. Rika screamed is horror and rage, hand dropping the phone, while her other, gripping her D-ark, screaming for Renamon to biomerge. On the other end of the phone line Mitsuo yelled, above the gasps of shock and horror, ordering to have the tamers converge at the Matsuki bakery at once. Takato however was to scared to move. He was too scared to even think. Even as Guilmon rushed to his tamers side, even as Omnimon drew his grey sword to carry out the order Takato couldn't move. 'The sovereign? But we saved them. We save the whole digital world. Why would they do this?'

Takato suddenly felt the air behind him explode in debris as Sakuyamon charged at Omnimon and bringing her staff down upon him hard. Omnimon while clearly surprised by the sudden appearance of Sakuyamon acted with years of battle experience and quickly raised his sword to parry her attack.

"You are not hurting Takato!!" Rika screamed from inside Sakuyamon. Hearing Rika's voice snapped Takato out of his funk. Takato looked up realizing he had been thrown to the ground by Guilmon.

"Takato are you ok?"

"Yeah buddy." looking past Guilmon, Takato was shocked to see Sakuyamon getting pushed back by Omnimon. "Ready pal!"

Takato pulled out his D-ark and even as he called for Guilmon to biomerge with him, in the back of his mind he couldn't help but fear that like last nights nightmare, it wouldn't work. However he could already feel the power of Gallantmon surrounding him. With a final push Omnimon powered through Sakuyamon but came face to face with Gallantmon. He took one step forward but Gallantmon was already moving and with a mighty swing of his lance sent Omnimon flying into the sky, with Gallantmon hot on his trail.

Omnimon quickly recovered from the assault, and armed his Garuru Cannon, and taking aim fired, "supreme cannon!"

Gallantmon raised his shield to block the attack, however the force sent Gallantmon tumbling across the sky and finally landing in the middle of a huge park. Well away from his home, and it's surrounding buildings.

"Takato are you ok," asked Guilmon.

Takato coughed, "yeah I think so...can't remember the last time we got hit that hard though."

"I don't we ever have."

Takato looked up and saw Omnimon flying at them already aiming his Garuru Cannon for another blast.

"Yeah...he might just be the strongest digimon we've ever fought."

"What do we do Takato? He wants to kill you."

Takato found himself grinning, "what we always do when facing an enemy buddy. We win."

Omnimon had just fired his supreme cannon as Gallantmon raised his lance yelling "lighting joust!"

The large blast of the cannon met the bolt of lighting from Gallantmon creating a huge explosion of fire and smoke. Gallantmon had hoped the explosion would at least slow Omnimon down, however his hopes were crushed when Omnimon flew past the smoke, his sword drawn and ready to cleave him in two.

"Transcendent Sword"

Gallantmon brought his shield up to block Omnimon's attack, but had not expected the force of the swing to be so great. Gallantmon's knees buckled under the force, and Takato swore under his breath. There was no way they could take another hit like that.

"Why are you doing this!?"

"The darkness," Omnimon brought his sword up to deliver another blow, "must be STOPED!"

Gallantmon jumped left narrowly avoiding the blade. Keeping his shield arm up and between Omnimon and himself the whole time, "what do you mean darkness? What are you taking about?"

Omnimon swung after Gallantmon making contact with his shield, but luckily leaving only a glancing blow. Omnimon raised his cannon but Gallantmon seeing an opening ducked and thrust his lance out, but his attack was quickly parried away, but he had the holy knight off balance and pressed his attack, using his shield to make sure Omnimon couldn't point his cannon at him.

'That's it, keep him off balance. Don't give him a chance to attack.'

However Omnimon suddenly jumped back out of Gallantmon's lances reach with his cannon leveled, "supreme cannon!"

Takato just brought his shield up but it did little to deflect the massive burst. A massive mushroom cloud rose above the park, and Gallantmon was thrown back and tumbled far back into the ground. His lance was lost in the explosion, and his shield lay in pieces around him. He watched with blurry vision as Omnimon advanced towards the broken knight and felt great pity for him.

"*cough* Why...are you doing this?"

Omnimon winced when he heard the tamers voice come from Gallantmon.

"I'm sorry tamer, but this must be done."

"What are you talking about!?"

Omnimon raised his cannon, "I am so sorry."

"WEL'LL I'M NOT! MEGA BARRAGE!!"

Omnimon looked up startled as hundreds of missiles came roaring at him. He glanced down only to see Gallantmon was gone. That moment of hesitation however was enough for the missiles to hit him, creating plums of fire and smoke.

Gallantmon looked around confused about what was going on till he noticed that he was being carried on a motorcycle. Tuning a bit more he saw Beelzemon smirking down at him, "I got to say pineapple head, you sure got the crap beat out of yeah."

Neither Takato nor Guilmon felt like arguing in their defense. When Beelzemon finally stopped he finally noticed MegaGargomon floating above them, smoke still coming out of all the missile ports that lined his massive body. Justimon was soon by Gallantmon's side helping him to his feet with Sakuyamon running up to meet them.

"Takato, Guilmon! Are you two...?"

Sakuyamon's voice trailed off when she finally got a good look at the condition Gallantmon was in. His armor was cracked and she blood coming through some of them.

"Oh my God."

Inside Sakuyamon, Rika felt her heart break. She had never seen him like this. In all their battles, never had he ever gotten so seriously hurt.

As the smoke was clearing, and Gallantmon's vision came back, he saw that everyone was here. Kenta, Kazu and Jeri floated down to them inside of one of MarineAngemon's bubbles. Antylamon came bounding behind them carrying Suzie, Ai, and Mako with Guardromon bringing up the rear.

"You all came?"

MegaGargomon looked down at Gallantmon, and Henry's voice came out of the giant, "Of course we came Takato, we're your friend's right?"

Terriermon made the giant give the peace sign, "what did you expect?"

Takato was about to answer with his gratitude, however, "You tamers should leave this place."

Everyone looked back into the smoke that had finally cleared enough that they could see that Omnimon was still standing and, hardly had any scratches on him, even after the massive attack from MegaGargomon.

"Oh come on! You don't take a bunch of missiles to the face and not have any damage! That's cheating!" Screamed Kazu.

"I will not repeat myself. Leave this place. This does not concern you."

"Screw you ass hole! You've been trying to kill our friend and you think we're just going to walk away?!" Screamed MegaGargomon, which was followed by yells of agreement from every tamer and digimon.

Omnimon felt sick. This was not what he had wanted. He had hoped to handle this before any of the other tamers could get a chance to intervene. It had been why he had destroyed those Hypnos towers, so they would not be able to track him, so he could do this mission quickly, but now he knew that that those hopes were now impossible. He remembered back to when Fanglongmon had given him these orders.

"If the other tamers and their digimon try to stop you, do what must be done to complete your mission."

Omnimon looked around at all the tamers and digimon and began to plan. He had four mega level digimon more than ready to fight him. The MarineAngemon was a mega as well but was clearly a defensive one. Gallantmon was now far to hurt to put up much of a fight but, he had yet to return to his rookie state and that was worth noting. Antylamon was an ultimate as well as a former deva, so she was not to be overlooked. There was a champion with them as well, but he doubted he could do much. Overall...the situation was a mess.

"If you do not leave, I will be forced to deal with all of you, harshly."

Gallantmon looked around at everyone, "Guys...if it's just me he wants..."

Sakuyamon leaned down towards Gallantmon, "finish that sentence and I'll," Sakuyamon's voice dipped too low for anyone else to hear except Gallantmon, "then I'll break it off. Got me?"

Gallantmon nodded then gasped as he found himself in one of MarineAngemon's bubbles that began to slowly heal him as it lifted him away from the battle and towards Jeri and the others.

Beelzemon turned to Sakuyamon, "and he stays with you why?"

Inside Rika smirked, not going into details about the things Takato loves about her, and the things Takato loves that she does to him.

Ryo frowned as he moved up, "So how are we going to do this exactly?"

Beelzemon grinned, "That's simple we just hit him with everything till he goes down!" With that he revved Behemoth's engine and roared towards Omnimon.

Justimon held back a groan, "well that works, I guess," then sprinted after Beelzemon.

Sakuyamon turned back at the others even as Antylamon and Guardromon leapt forward, charging along with the others, "You guys look after those two ok?"

Jeri, who had laid her hands on the bubble holding Gallantmon looking at him, turned to Sakuyamon, "well take care of them just go get that guy."

"I will Jeri," turning to follow after everyone else, Rika who while inside the bright blue sphere that had formed from her biomerge, could only see red. She had only one thought running through her mind; killing Omnimon.

Beelzemon leapt off Behemoth both gun drawn and firing. Omnimon moved right, avoiding the runaway motorcycle and quickly raised his arms to deflect the bullets being fired at him. However when he saw Beelzemon had gotten close enough he swung his arm out and connected with his side and knocked him aside, hard. However while one mega had been moved aside, an ultimate and another mega took his place. Justimon had armed his voltage blade and Antylamon her bunny blades.

Reacting quickly, Omnimon blocked Justimon with his grey sword, and fired a quick blast from his cannon to throw off Antylamon's frontal attack. It wasn't a strong blast, but enough to make her move away. His attention was immediately brought back to Ryo and Justimon who using their momentum, and keeping their blade locked with Omnimon's, began making him back pedal so he didn't losing his footing. However while Justimon could keep Omnimon from using his grey sword, he was not able to stop his Garuru Cannon, which Justimon suddenly found pointed right at his head. Justimon quickly jumped back as Omnimon fired a blast that would have easily taken his head with it.

Omnimon looked up just in time to see MegaGargomon lining him in his sights, "Gargo Missile!"

The large twin missiles fired from MegaGargomon's shoulders however, Omnimon was ready, "Transcendent Sword!" A wave of energy sliced through the air and through the missiles, causing them to explode with Omnimon far out of range. The smoke caused by the explosion however, fell around him, hiding him from the tamers view.

"Oh boy, anyone see him?" MegaGargomon yelled as he looked around. It was Sakuyamon who finally spotted him much to, soon MegaGargomon's horror.

"HE'S BEHIND YOU!"

Henry's Eyes went wide and he quickly tried to turn, however Omnimon had taken advantage of MegaGargomon's greatest weakness. While his large size gave him great power and strength, it made him incredibly slow and unable to defend against a sudden attack from behind.

"Supreme cannon."

The blast hit MegaGargomon square in the back and sent him right into the ground with an earth shaking thud. Sakuyamon kicked off the ground after Omnimon with her staff raised, "Amethyst Wind!" Winds roared past her, in it were hundreds of purple crystal shards, and each one was headed right to the Holy Knight. The attack missed as he dove back into the smoke.

"Damn it!"

"I'll clear it out!"

Antylamon rushed past into the smoke "Asipatravana," the vortex created from the attack soon had the smoke completely cleared, but not before Omnimon appeared in front of her and fired his cannon on her. Her body hit the ground once before she de-digivolved back into Lopmon.

"LOPMON," cried out Suzie as she ran to her fallen friend. Mako reached out to stop her, but could not as she was already out of reach. Omnimon however made no to move to either Suzie or Lopmon. She was out of the fight, and that was enough for him. That and he had no intention of attacking children. Guardromon who up till now had done little in the fight fell back to cover Suzie as she tended to her friends wounds. That left only the four megas. MegaGargomon had gotten up, his thick armor helping to protect him from most the blast. The four were slowly moving around to surround him. Now they were planning, now this battle would become dangerous. Before it had only been frontal attacks, something he could easily defend against. Now however, Omnimon found himself making sure no one was attacking him from behind.

Takato and Gallantmon both felt utterly useless as they watch their friends fight Omnimon, "damn it I should be helping them."

"No way man, have you looked at yourself. I've seen bulldozed buildings that have looked better than you." stated Kazu

"He's right Takato," agreed Jeri, "you need to get better first or you'll only make it harder for them."

Gallantmon looked over where Kenta and MarineAngemon were attending to Lopmon. This could not be happening. This was a nightmare.

"Of course it's a nightmare Takato. That's the whole point."

Takato, and not Gallantmon anymore, turned around horrified at the sound of that voice, "YOU!?"

Dorthy smiled. She was no longer wearing that club dress from before but a pair of loose fitting jean and simple blouse, but he knew who it was.

"You seemed surprised? Are you not happy to see me?"

"Takato?"

Gallantmon turned to look at Jeri, who looked up at him confused, "Takato are you ok?"

Gallantmon looked back around but Dorthy was no longer there.

Beelzemon once again made the first move, but this time Justimon attacked too, both at different angles. Justimon brought his voltage blade swinging while Beelzemon came in with his claws. Sakuyamon jumped up and came at him from behind. The three megas clashed against Omnimon who was just able to block, parry, or dodge the three's attacks. When the three suddenly broke off, and Omnimon found himself in a huge shadow, he looked up just in time to see MegaGargomon's foot coming down on him. Omnimon raised his hands and surprising everyone, including himself some what, caught MegaGargomon's foot as he had tried to step on him.

"Terriermon, I think we are in trouble." stated Henry, as he felt MegaGargomon's foot being lifted up. MegaGargomon agreed, "Yeah maybe this wasn't such a good idea."

"They're going to die Takato."

Takato curled up inside the orange light that surrounded him.

"Go away."

He could hear Dorthy laugh, "Oh please. This is a great show. Getting to watch as your friends and girlfriend get beaten to death by a holy knight is great."

Omnimon threw MegaGargomon off him, which surprised everyone, MegaGargomon more than anyone. Omnimon took advantage of this and when on the offensive against the closest digimon to him, Sakuyamon. Grey sword drawn he charged. Sakuyamon raised her staff to block the slice but, the sword cut through it.

And from what Takato saw, Sakuyamon too. Then everything around Takato went black.

"Let the fun begin."

The voice hadn't been Dorthy's that time.

In reality Sakuyamon was able to move far enough to not get cut in half. She still got hit, but not in any life endangering way. She fell clutching her stomach and Justimon moved to pull her away so they could regroup for another try at Omnimon, till a screamed filled the air that stopped everyone in their tracks. The bubble that had been holding Gallantmon exploded in a column of red light, with Gallantmon in the middle; the digital hazard on his chest glowing bright red.

Jeri and Kazu were thrown back by the force but luckily they were caught by Guardromon.

Henry looked at Gallantmon shocked. He began to hope that this was just Gallantmon mode changing into Gallantmon Crimson Mode, but as his eyes fell onto the hazard marking, he began to doubt this. It didn't help his confidence when the column of light began to turn from red, to a dark blue and black.

As the light faded and the dust settled what stood where Gallantmon once had, was clearly no longer Gallantmon, nor as Henry saw relived, was it Megidramon, as he first feared. However what stood there didn't exactly fill him with much hope either. It looked like Gallantmon, but it was no longer wearing red and silver armor, but blue and gray.

It also didn't help when Kazu took out his D-ark and pulled up the data on this new digimon, "ChaosGallantmon, a Mega Level, Virus type Dark Knight Digimon. A creature born of a holy knight who has given into the darkness, a being that brings everything he touches into an ever lasting abyss of darkness. His Judecca Prison and Demon's Disaster attacks leave nothing but destruction in their wake" Kazu stopped reading and looked up at ChaosGallantmon, "um...I think we might be screwed here."

"..."

ChaosGallantmon slowly turned to face Omnimon. Omnimon stared back, "what are you abomination?"

The response he got however; was a scream of pure blood lust as ChaosGallantmon charged him with the clear intention of tearing him limb from limb. Omnimon used his grey sword to block ChaosGallantmon's lance but was quickly overpowered and driven back and the lance landed a sickening blow into his shoulder taking a chunk off.

Beelzemon watched as Omnimon took to the air to put some space between him and ChaosGallantmon, however ChaosGallantmon would not allow this and soon took off after him, his lance pointed right at Omnimon's head.

"Guys...what the hell just happened here?"

Justimon looked up along with Beelzemon, "I have no idea. I'm just glade he's on our side."

Beelzemon watched as ChaosGallantmon tried to impale Omnimon on its lance and screaming as he missed, "does he look like he's on anyone's team right now?"

Justimon said nothing.

Rika watch the battle, horrified at what she was seeing. This wasn't Takato or Guilmon fighting. This was something different, something wrong, and deep down she was terrified that Takato and Guilmon might not be inside that thing anymore.

------

Takato looked around desperately trying to find a way of the pitch blackness that surrounded him. The darkness made him feel like he was suffocating. He had to get out. He had to find his friends. He had to find Rika.

"She's dead goggle brain. You saw Omnimon cut her up."

The darkness changed to images of Omnimon slicing through Sakuyamon, her body falling into two pieces. Then the images faded back into the blackness.

"NO I WON'T BELIVE THAT!"

He heard her laughter, and watched as slowly out of the darkness Dorthy walked into his view. Her black clothing and hair seemed to fade into the darkness. Only what skin was not covered by cloth could be seen clearly.

"Do you even hear yourself? You like a child after his step-father just told him Santa isn't real."

Takato lunged at her but she swatted him away. "Now, now lets not over react. We don't want you hurting yourself...oh wait," she pulled out a small pistol, like the one from before, "yes we do."

The shot seemed to echo forever

Everyone winced as Omnimon fell to the ground, his left arm just barley hanging on after ChaosGallantmon had unleashed his Demon's Disaster. ChaosGallantmon now seemed to be in no hurry as it lowered itself down to the earth. Its prey wasn't going anywhere. What confused everyone though is that as it moved closer to the fallen Omnimon, it dropped both its lance and shield. However this confusion soon turned to a sickening revelation when they saw ChaosGallantmon crouch over Omnimon with its fists raised.

He was going to beat Omnimon to death. The first blow that connected with Omnimon's head seemed to echo forever.

Takato bit back a scream. The bullet has just grazed his arm. Dorthy laughed, "You make the cutest faces when you get shot. You know that?"

Takato glared at her through hate filled eyes, "who are you."

Dorthy just smiled, "I'm...complicated."

Takato acted as fast as he could and reached for Dorthy's gun, however she simply moved out of the way and as Takato fell back down, another shot from into his other arm kept him down.

Dorthy twirled the gun as she walked around Takato, "you know what Takato I'm going to let you in on a little secret. And I'm sure you're going to find this hilarious. Right now, I'm side your head. It's this cool little thing I can do. So when ever I feel like it, I can just go into your head and either talk to you like this, or like last night. Or," she paused to kneel down right in front of Takato, "I can really really screw with you dreams, and your sanity."

Takato's eyes widened, "you're the one who's been?"

Dorthy cut him of with a swift kick to his jaw as she stood up, "yup all those little nightmares where all me. I have to say it's always fun when I'm inside your mind Takato."

Takato lay there trying to blink the tears away. But as he lay there he began to think, think back to his last memory before the darkness swallowed him. His mind hadn't been alone. Where was Guilmon? The two of them had been biomegered when all this had happened. Takato felt out with his mind, praying that he could feel Guilmon's mind here in the darkness.

'Takato?'

Dorthy laughed, "Aw did my little kick hurt too much?"

'She doesn't know...maybe she can only enter one mind at a time, so when Guilmon and my minds were joined she could only enter mine, but if Guilmon and I are still biomerged that means he might still be connected with me..., GUILMON HELP!'

Dorthy frowned, "it's a shame pretty soon we won't be able to do this anymore."

'Takato? Where are you?'

'Guilmon please help! I'm in trouble!"

'Takato!'

He could feel him, and he was getting closer. He just needed to stall her.

"You know you're a real bitch, you know that."

Dorthy would had been in mid sentence, talking about something, Takato hadn't really been paying attention to, looked over at Takato, who was now slowly getting back up, "what did you say?"

"Sorry let me repeat myself, and explain it in detail so you understand me. I said you, that's a noun by the way, so you know who I'm talking about, which is you. Look I'll even point see,' Takato pointed at her, "you. Next I said, are. It means I'm probably going to tell you what you are. Then I said a real bitch, which means...that you're a total bitch. See?"

Dorthy looked pissed, and once again had the pointed at him, "how dare you!"

Takato smirked, "just one more thing."

"WHAT!?"

"I'm going to enjoy this."

Dorthy blinked just in time for Guilmon to bite off her hand that had been at one point holding the gun.

"AHHH!!"

Takato rushed forward grabbing the gun and then grabbing her. That's when the great darkness suddenly cracked.

Omnimon's armor around his head was cracked and dented horribly as ChaosGallantmon continued his assault.

Jeri was in tears as she watched this. They had come to defend Takato and beat Omnimon, but this...was just wrong, "please, please just someone stop him."

Justimon looked back at Jeri and then around at the others, all who were terrified at the scene. Justimon moved quickly and caught ChaosGallantmon's arm before he could deliver another blow.

"Listen to me, you've won. Omnimon can't even defend himself anymore. Stop this now. This isn't you. I can understand wanting to hurt him Takato but if you do this, you'll turn yourself into something you'll never come back from. It's over."

ChaosGallantmon pulled against Justimon's grip, "Listen to me! You have to stop th-!"

To everyone's horror ChaosGallantmon did stop but now had his hands wrapped around Justimon's neck.

"Oh crap!"

"Takato no!"

Sakuyamon moved quickly to aid Justimon, but inside Rika felt like her world was gone. 'This can't be real.'

But just when she and Beelzemon were only a few feet from the two, something happened. ChaosGallantmon suddenly threw Justimon away and fell to his knee, holding his head in as if he was in pain.

"ARRRRHHHH!!!!"

Everyone covered their ears at the scream. However the scream was swallowed up by the blinding light that enveloped ChaosGallantmon. Soon the light formed an orb and after a few seconds Guilmon fell from it.

"Pineapple head!"

However just as Guilmon fell the light warped and changed color. Its blinding brilliance faded reviling Takato, bloodied but whole, however he was not the only thing that came out of the light. There was a woman, in black jeans and black blouse, with black hair darker than any ravens feathers, and she was clutching her right arm, where a bloody stump was all that was left of her hand.

Takato looked around eye's adjusting for the darkness from before. He stopped when he saw that everyone was looking in his direction. He looked back at Dorthy who seemed confused and, to his surprise, nervous. That's when Takato realized it, "they can see you." Dorthy had come to the same conclusion at the same time as Takato and acted as quickly as she could. Slamming herself into Takato and knocking him off balance, Dorthy run. Takato fell and that seemed to snap everyone out of their trances. Sakuyamon de-digivolved and, Renamon went to check on Guilmon who hadn't moved much since falling from the light. Rika fell to Takato's side, and seeing the large black bruise covering most of his lower jaw and the gashes on Takato's arms acted quickly, ripping her shirt to try and make some bandages to stop the bleeding. The fall seemed to remind Takato he was in a lot of pain but as Rika yelled to the other for help, Takato spoke through her screams, "Rika...Dorthy."

Rika blinked, and looked up at the running girl, "don't worry we'll get her to a hospital too, she most have been caught in our fight or"

"No Rika, she's the one, the one who's behind all this. She isn't human, she's something else. She's the one giving me the nightmare, I think she's the reason Omnimon came after me."

Rika looked back as the other tamers came running, most had de-digivolved except Beelzemon, "Beelzemon stop her! She's behind all this!"

Beelzemon looked over at Rika, then at the girl who had obviously heard Rika's shout, since she was now double timing it away from everyone else. However Beelzemon was on her quickly and carrying her back, kicking and screaming.

"LET ME GO!"

Henry frowned, "guys, what are you all doing?"

Takato looked over at Henry and the other, who were all clearly confused at what was going on.

"She's the reason everything here has happened."

Kenta and Kazu both looked at the woman, who would have been cute, if not beautiful, was it not she was covered in blood, and her right hand was missing.

"How is she behind all this?" Jeri asked looking at Takato, who she saw wasn't taking his eyes off this Dorthy woman.

"Please let me go. Oh god somebody help me!"

Henry's frown deepened, this girl was panicked and bleeding.

"Guys we need to get this girl to a hospital now, Beelzemon get her-"

"She is not dying. Data does not die from blood loss."

Everyone turned surprised at the voice. Omnimon had raised his head some to look at the woman, "She is not human, but corrupted data given the shape of a human woman." He looked at her longer before continuing, "She also bears the mark of the darkness."

Now everyone looked back at the woman, who had stopped screaming and pleading. She sighed, "Trust a damn holy knight to be able to see who I was ack!" Beelzemon tightened his grip on Dorthy, "Easy there big boy, kill me now and you might not get any answers. But just one thing first," Dorthy raised her stump of a hand up slightly and slowly a new hand began to appear one pixel at a time. At the same time all the blood that had been covering her began to simply disappear till at last she was whole again.

"So what do you all want?"

Rika stood up slowly and walked over to Dorthy and with a sudden display of violence broke Dorthy's nose.

"You are going to explain everything you've been doing to my Takato right now!"

Dorthy eyed the red head, then at every tamer and digimon, then finally back down at Takato, who had stood up after Rika had bandaged his arms, "Put it simply, I've been having fun with him."

The next punch Rika threw snapped Dorthy's head back, and busted her lip in open.

"You bitch."

Jeri moved up to pull Rika back, "Rika we need answers, and you need to calm down."

Rika looked back at Jeri, and Jeri flinched under the hate filled glare, "You haven't seen it Jeri. You haven't been there when Takato's woken up, screaming and terrified. You haven't seen what she's been doing to him."

Ryo placed a hand on Rika's shoulder, "no we haven't Rika, but if we're to even begin to understand what's happening here, we need this...thing to talk."

Guilmon frowned, as his attention had been brought away from Dorthy after Omnimon had spoken, "Guys who did that to Omnimon?"

Terriermon looked at Guilmon like he had two heads, "dude, your the one that beat him up. You don't remember?"

Guilmon looked back at Takato, ears down, "we did that?"

Takato looked at Omnimon then turned to Kenta and MarineAngemon, "could you guys help him out?"

Kazu's jaw dropped, "are you nuts!? This is the guy who was trying to kill you man, and you want to help him? Is there something wrong with you?"

Dorthy smirked, "oh yeah, he's big time screwed in the head. You can thank yours truly for that."

Rika was about to punch her again but was held back by Ryo and Jeri.

Takato looked down at Omnimon, who was clearly having trouble staying conscious. "Please just help him."

Kenta sighed and walked over to him with MarineAngemon. Both clearly not trilled at helping the injured digimon.

Henry walked up to Dorthy, deciding that until Rika had calmed down, he had better ask the questions.

"Who are you?"

Dorthy, who had until then had been watching Takato, turned her attention to Henry, "Dorthy."

"And why are you here?"

Dorthy inclined her head towards Takato, "I'm here to drive that goggle head bat shit crazy."

Another hard squeeze from Beelzemon caused her to gasp out, but Henry stayed calm. He wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of seeing him mad. She had played Rika. Making her loose her temper right off the bat, but if they were going to get anything, he had to keep his cool. No matter how much she provoked him.

"Why are you doing it? What could you possibly get from hurting Takato?"

Dorthy frowned; clearly unhappy she hadn't gotten a reaction out of Henry, "besides having a great time? OW OW OW!"

Beelzemon twisted the arm he held, "you better start telling us something useful, or you're going to lose this arm, got it."

Jeri who had up to this point had stayed back with Rika and Ryo looked at Dorthy pleadingly, "please just tell us why you're hurting Takato."

Dorthy said nothing at first, then her smirk that had never left her face once since the interrogation, got wider as she spoke, "I have my reasons. But my reasons deal with the same thing as to why big boy over there wants to kill little goggle head."

The tamers turned back to Omnimon, who had now sat up. There were still many cracks in his helm, and his arm was still severely injured, but no longer in danger of falling off.

"I was ordered to carry out Takato's execution because of the darkness that now lies inside of him."

Rika was about to make a sharp retort, but Takato placed a hand on her shoulder as he moved past her, closer to Omnimon, "you said that before, but I…we don't understand what you mean."

Omnimon nodded, "back when the sovereign came to control the digital world, a force of great power stood and apposed them. The being was not a digimon nor was it simple raw data, but something else. It called itself the true god of the digital world. This force waged a war against the sovereign for many years, till its army was defeated. However, the sovereign could not kill the great force. It was not a being bound by the laws of mortality, so they sealed it away, deep under the earth, and sealed under the nine seals, The seals of courage, friendship, love, knowledge, sincerity, reliability, hope, light, and kindness. However it appears that some time during the D-Reaper assault, that somehow the nine seals were broken and the being escaped."

Henry frowned, "but what does this have to do with Takato?"

Omnimon continued, "We don't know exactly when or why it has happened, but the entity, the force that the sovereigns fought so hard to seal away, now resides within Takato."

Silence followed this revelation. No one could say anything. The all just looked at Omnimon, then to Takato. Takato felt his world swirl around him, and he fell to the earth. Rika and Henry acted quickly to catch him so he didn't injure himself further. When the silence was finally broken it was Dorthy who finished the story, "They want to kill you, before my master's plan can be fulfilled. Since he now resides within you, he has become mortal. They can not let you live Takato. They have to kill my master with you along with him, and it doesn't matter who they have to kill to do it."

Jeri held back a sob, Ai and Mako held on to each other. Suzie hugged Lopmon, Kazu shook his head. Kenta had sat down, hand over his mouth in shock. Henry looked down at Takato and Rika held Takato tight against her. Finally Takato spoke, "this thing…who or what is it?"

Omnimon answered, "I do not know fully what it is, but it is a force of great power. But before the seals were closed the entity named itself. He called himself, Hazard."
