Alright, I wrote this chapter faster than I tought that I would. Though I never liked romance fics, I tought that it would be nice when I make some couples in this fic. Of course, that won't be great romances (like Romeo and Juliet), but something more like a comedy. However, in this chapter I'll describe Akaris character. And than we'll go back to the main theme of this fic. Enjoy! ^.^

[OP:THE BIGGEST DREAMER-DIGIMON TAMERS]

10. Chapter

Where the Darkness is Born

[IN:A STRAY CHILD-YUKI KAJIURA]

-Flashback-

A little girl, about 9 years old, sit on the big king-sized bed. She lived in a big villa and was rich. She had red hair, red eyes and a red-violet dress. She even had a maid who served her. But she wasn't happy. Her so called friends were just after her stuff. This made her mad. And her mother was never at home. She tought Akari would be happy with all the stuff. But she was sadly wrong. Threating Akari like this wasn't the best idea.

-End of Flashback-

Akari sighed. Her mother never understood her needs. She was very happy that Dr. Yung convinced her to come to the Hackers Organisation.

Since Ken was back, she knew that she was the next one taking the test. Or Arisa. Altough she couldn't image that. Arisa was always the last taking the test, so why should she do it now. Akari sighed again. She drew something in her notebook. She couldn't wait till school finishes. Than she would enjoy her time with Lilith. She looked at Black Gatomon who was sitting next to her. Her eyes were attached at Impmon, who was two tables further. He was talking to Arisa, who didn't seem to pay attention to class. Akari smiled slightly. Altough Lilith should be angry at Impmon because of that little 'Water Incident', she still was after him.

Akari rolled with her eyes. Impmons Hacker, Arisa could drive her crazy sometimes. She was, with one word, impossible. Altough Arisas jokes were sometimes funny in Akaris opinion, but only when she or Lilith aren't the victims. Akari actually liked her new life. She was supposed to be the leader of the group. Altough she didn't wore googles. They had anyway a Google-Boy in the group, so why should she wear googles. No thanks!

Akari tought about her group. It contained the Lone Wolf/Google-guy Akira and his Black Agumon. Akari tought that Akira was just cool. He didn't talked a lot and he always was with Black Agumon. Not the perfect boyfriend. Akari giggled. Black Gatomon asked him if he was in love with Arisa. He replied that he isn't an looked pretty insulted because of that question. Akari guessed that he did have a crush on the hyper troublemaker. Akari was at first interested in him, but than she threw that minds away. She liked to chat, and with a friend like Akira she couldn't talk a lot.

Than, there were Ken and Wormmon. Ken seemed to be the Tactist of the group. He always planed a strategy first and than he attacked. But he wasn't a nerd. Altough his glasses made his appearnce look much like one. Akari liked him more than Akira. Ken was mysterious and you never knew what he was planning on next. He was cold and had something like a dark aura floating, and Akari just liked such guys. Not those who are pretending to be cool. In her eyes, they're acting like jerks. And she could talk with Ken much better than Akira.

The last member of the group was Arisa and her partner Impmon, a thorn in Akaris eyes. She didn't liked her. In fact, she absolutely loathed her. Arisa seemed, tough she always got in a kind of trouble, get out of it, stronger and smarter than before. Worse, she was in some way better than Akari. Like the class C test. Arisa passed it without making her partner digivoluving. Akari hated this. She hated everyone who was better than her. She was the best. She was the strongest. Not only having a strong Demon Lord for a Digimon Partner but she also had due her richness the strongest and rarest cards, which could make Lilith stronger.

Akari was partly afraid. That Arisa would take her leader title. That she would take over the group. Akari would be the happiest person in the world if Arisa would just dissapeair and never come back. On the other side, Arisa didn't seem to want to become the leader and that calmed Akari down. However, she couldn't stand it when Arisa tricks her. Than she would gladly kill her.

She didn't told her team that she was rich. She couldn't make this mistake. Everyone who found it out that was her friend just because she was rich. And she just wanted to have true friends, who'll accept her no matter if she's rich or poor. Black Gatomon was of course her best friend. She could talk with Lilith about everything she wanted. About private girls stuff and so on.

After class, Ms. Megumi told her to stay a bit longer. Akari wondered why but she tought that I could be something about her test.

"So, why did I have to stay?" she asked, after everyone beside her went out.
"I just wanted to tell you to come leater to the training field outside. I wanna prepear you for your test." replied Ms. Megumi.
"Alright." Akari nodded. She walked together with Lilith out of the classroom. So she's the next one taking the test? It didn't suprise her. She turned at the next corner.

"Hi, Akari!" Arisa greeted her, jumping out of nowhere.
"Aaaa, Arisa, what the hell is going on with you!" Akari shouted at her.
"Hey, don't shout at me." replied Arisa covering her ears.
"I would likely kill you." mumbled Akari crossing her arms. "What do you want from me?"
"So, what did she said?" asked Arisa.
"Who?" asked Akari confused. Arisa rolled with her eyes.
"The President of the United States." she said sarcastically. "Ms. Megumi of course. What did she want from you?"
"Why do you want to know?" asked Akari frowning.
"I'm just curious. Is it about the test?" Arisa asked.
"Yes, er, actually no. Ms. Megumi wanted me to go to the training arena outside. She told me that I'll should train a bit before taking the test." said Akari, slightly annoyed. "Sure that that training isn't your actuall test?" asked Arisa suspiciously.
"Huh, how do you mean it?" asked Akari. Arisa glared at her a bit and than turned around.
"Ow, you soon will find it out." she said going away. Akari stared at her, totaly confused. Did Arisa already knew about her test or was she just joking around with her? Feeling like the last fool, Akari went outside the building and went to to the training yard. She and Lilith looked around but they didn't find no one.

"Where's Ms. Megumi? She told us that we'll find her here." asked Lilith.
"I'm not sure." said Akari, now more annoyed thanks to her encounter with Arisa.

"Static Force!" They heard an attack. Black Gatomon had just enough time to push Akari and herself away.
"What the..." said Akari and got cutted off as she saw a familiar Digimon that she knew from Adventure 02. A Silphymon floated above her.

~Silphymon Level: Ultimate Attribute: Data Type: Animal Digimon Attacks: Static Force and Astral Laser~

"Static Force!" Siliphymon created an energy ball and fired it at Akari and Black Gatomon. They escaped the attack, but the next made an huge explosion. The smoke cleared and Akari saw a crater in front of her. Two steps further and she would be dead.

[SH:SLASH!-DIGIMON TAMERS]

"Now you made me really angry! Take this!" she pulled out a card. "DigiModify, Sakuyamon Spirit Strike activate!"
"Spirit Strike!" Black Gatomon released four fox spirites at Silphymon.
"Static Force!" Silphymon fired his attack at one of the spirits, but the other three caught him.
"There, you see that you musn't mess around with me. Especially when I'm angry." said Akari. To her supriese, Silphymon didn't asnwered. He rosed up, as the fox spirits dissapaired.
"Astral Laser!" Silphymon created a duplicate of himself and fired it at Black Gatomon.
"DigiModify, Hyper Speed Activate!" Akari slashed her next card. Lilith escaped the attack as Akari slashed an another.
"DigiModify, Puppetmons Flying Cross Cutter activate!"

Lilith got a wooden cross and threw it at Silphymon like a boomerang. The cross hit him, but for some strange reason, Silphymon didn't showed any emotion of pain or something similar. It just stood up and fought back.

"Astral Laser!" The attack caught Lilith off guard. She stared at Silphymon who acted like a kind of marionete. A puppet. A simple pawn.
"Lilith!" shouted Akari, holding tightly her digivolution card. If this was a test, than Lilith should Digivoluve to her Ultimate. But she didn't. Why? Why didn't the Digivolution Card turned to a Blue Card, like Akiras and Kens.

The smoke cleared and Black Gatomon got out of the crater. She was hurt. For some strange reason, this Silphymon was strong. Too strong in Liliths Opinion. Akari went to her partner, trying to help Lilith.

"Something isn't right here. I can feel it." said Black Gatomon, getting back on her feet.
"I know. This Silphymon isn't a normal one. And we're stuck with it till we or he dies." said Akari frowning and staring at Silphymon. He stared back, emotionlesly. "If you just could digivoluve. Than we would show him whose the boss here."
"I'm trying my best, trust me. But this digivolution thing is a hard nut to knock." said Lilith.
"There must be a way." said Akari. It actually sounded really easy, but it was hard to do. Akari tought a bit. Why did Black Greymon and Stingmon digivoluve? Black Greymon wanted to protect Akira. Stingmon showed Ken that he is important to him and that he never'll be alone. And Black Gatomon? What did Akari felt towards her partner?

No, she wasn't just a partner. She was, is and will be her best friend forever. That's what Akari always searched. Friendship! True Friendship! And she found it. Her card started to glow. Akari looked supriesed at it. The Card turned into a Blue Card. Akari grined. Bingo!

[SH:EVO-DIGIMON TAMERS]

"DigiModify, Matrix Digivolution activate!"

MATRIX DIGIVOLUTION

"Black Gatomon, Matrix Digivolution to...Lady Devimon!"

~Lady Devimon Level: Ultimate Type: Evil Digimon Atributte: Virus Attacks: Evil Wing, Darkness Wave and Black Wing~

A femine, dark clothes wearing like Digimon appeared in Black Gatomons place. She had black wings and bats flying around her.

"Yes." whispered Akari "We finnaly figured it out."
"Com'n Lilith, lets show him what we can!" "Evil Wing!" announced Lady Devimon, sending towards Silphymon thousands of bats. Silphymon screeched in pain. Akari startled. The screech sounded like it wasn't from this world. She grabbed a card and slashed it trough her D-Power.

"DigiModify, Dorugoramon, DORU Djinn, activate! Lets delete him!" she shouted.
"DORU Djinn!" Lady Devimon released a destructive shock wave. The wave hit Silphymon and in an another unhuman screech, he dissapaired.

"What was that?" asked Akari frowning.
"I'm not sure." said Lady Devimon de-digivoluving back to Black Gatomon. "But it sure wasn't something normal. However, made it! I digivoluved!" she said proudly.
"Yes, great job. Welldone." said Akari.

Arisa and Impmon watched those two. This should be actually something what Ken and Wormmon would do, but she got also used to it.

"So Thomas was guessing right. This was a kind of test." said Arisa.
"Yes, but did you see that Silphymon? It seemed like it's, well, controled by someone. Ba-boom." said Impmon.
"But, why would someone try to control a Digimon. And who?" asked Arisa. Impmon shrugged.
"I really wonder how Thomas did it knew that Akari would be taking this test? And, more, did he knew that that Silphymon's acting strange?" said Arisa staring at Lilith and Akari. She had always a strange feel about this Organisation, since she got here. And the feel got stronger as she encountered that Keramon. What was going on here?

"Sir?" asked Thomas as he walked into Dr. Yungs office.
"I have a task for you." said Dr. Yung, grining.

Honestly, is everything crazy in this organisation or am I imagining it? What will happen next and what task will Thomas get? Stay tuned for Digimon Tamers Rise of the Hackers!

[ED:KEEP ON-DIGIMON ADVENTURE]

Thomas: Helo everyone.
Arisa: What are you doin' in the preview?
Thomas: To tell you that dark times will arrive...
Arisa: And?
Thomas: You'll see it soon.
Arisa: -startled- ?.? Ok.
Gaomon: Keep reading...
Impmon: And review, or I'll burn your butt. Ba-boom!
