[OP: The Biggest Dreamer-Digimon Tamers]

12. Chapter

Return of a Demon Lord

Digiworld, Forest

"So, ready for your last test?" asked Ms. Megumi. Akari, Akira and Ken nodded. There was no retreat. If they would retreat, they would never feel the power they'll get soon. Megumi grined. Yes, that's how future elite Hackers look like. Not like that pathetic fool Arisa. Megumi sighed, looking at the sky in the Digiworld and thought about her last conversation with Yung.

-Flashback-

"So, will be our little Hacker soon ready for her mission? You know how important it is. I wanna her in top condition till the Tournament starts." said Yung, staring trough his black sunglasses.
"Sir, I'm not sure if it is such a good idea to let Arisa do that mission. She's quite rebelious and she seems to be everything else than a loyal Hacker." protested Megumi.
"That's even better than I expected." said Yung, grining as he saw Megumis confused look. He leaned back at his seat. "Even if Arisa gets captured, she'll be blamed, and even if she tells everything the Rangers, they won't capture us. Our new base is ready to move in."

Megumi just glanced at him and than she walked out.

-End of Flashback-

Real World, Digi-City, Hackers HQ

"So, ready for action? Ba-boom!" asked Impmon as he and Arisa walked down to the room for the DigiPortals.
"No, I'm still sleeping." Arisa gave a yawn. "I didn't sleep well last night."
"Because of that Piximon? Ba-boom!" asked Impmon worried.
"Partly. But I was also curious about this type of 'test' Thomas would give us." she replied.
"Me too." Impmon grined "Whatever he'll give us, it won't be worse than Megumis freaky tests. Ba-boom!"

Arisa grined. She didn't fully trusted Thomas, but her instincts told her that he's on her side. Well, and on which side was she? She didn't knew exactly, but she would tell it that it was her own side. The one who didn't make experiments with Digimon and which wasn't creepy like this Organisation.

"...and than I was just about to crush him, when he dissapeard and... Arisa are you listening to me? Ba-boom!" asked Impmon, noticing that Arisa was again lost in her minds. Arisa snapped out of it and smiled.
"Sorry, I just had to think about something." she replied.
"If ya want to tell me my prescious stories are borin' than I'll stop tellin' 'hem." said Impmon crossing his arms. Since he told Arisa a bit about his Demon Lord life, he deceided that he should hear it in all details. And Arisa was really interesting in it.
"No, please countine. I'll listen." she said.
"Alright. As I said, I was just about to crush Gallantmon as he dissapeared." countined Impmon his story about his battle with Gallantmon. "And in the next sec, he knocked me off. Honestly, it wasn't the easiest battle in my life, but it isn't the last. And than he released one of his Lightning 'I'll kill you and send you to the DigiHell' Joust attack, I could escape it and get back on Behetmoth."

As much as Arisa noticed, Impmon had splitted personalitys. One of his personality was the imp like mischevous personality that Impmon usually had, and Arisa could always recoginze it because of the 'Ba-boom!' ending. But the second...It was far more dark and cold. And somehow,...bloodthirsty. Arisa twitched. No, powerthirst was the key word. Of course, she already knew that it was, that it should be Beelzemons personality, which he once had as the Demon Lord of Gluttony. And it sparked out off Impmon sometimes, like the first the he had told her about his past.

"I think we're here right." said Arisa and stopped by the door. On the door was a sing which read 'DigiPortals'.
"Ow, alright. Ba-boom!" said Impmon, frowing that he was interuppted in the best part. The one where he wanted to kill that Royal Knight Gallantmon.
"You can tell it me leater." said Arisa, cheering him up. They entered the room. Thomas and Gaomon were already waiting for them. Thomas grined.
"So, ready for whatever waits for you out there." He pointed at the DigiPortal.
"Of coruse." replied Arisa and she, Impmon and Thomas stepped on the platform. Gaomon activated the portal and jumped to the platform. They got transported to the Digiworld.

Digiworld, With Akira

[IN: Ashitawa Atashino Kazega Fuku-Digimon Adventure 02]

"Really, is this everything you got?" asked Puppetmon staring coldly at Akira and Black MetalGreymon.
"You fool really should learn to not mess up with a Hacker." replied Akira. A kind of black energy floated around him. To Puppetmons supriese, Black MetalGreymon de-digivoluved to Black Agumon.
"Fear the power." whispered Akira. His blue card turned into a black card with a yellow dinosaur.

"DigiModify, Warp Digivolution activate!"

WARP DIGIVOLUTION!

"BlackAgumon, warp digivolution to..."

Digiworld, By Arisa

Arisa looked at the glowing sphere, where they did came from. Everything was normal in the Digiworld today. Or at least, it seemed to be. Next to her, Thomas, Impmon and Gaomon land.

"So, what are we supposed to do?" she asked.
"Be patient. I didn't planned much what you should do in the Digiworld. But at least, we're out of the reach of the Organisation." said Thomas and walked away. Gaomon simply followed him. Arisa confused, glanced at Impmon, who shrugged and than they followed Thomas and Gaomon.

"Thomas, I really need to ask you about something." said Arisa.
"I know, but be patient. Soon, I'll give you the answers you search." replied Thomas. Arisa blinked in confusion and remained silent. A few minutes passed as they walked trough the Digital wood. For some reason, the whole wood was quiet and it made Arisa a bit nervous.

"Where are we going?" she asked.
"I'm not the one who's supposed to know it." replied Thomas. Arisa rolled with her eyes.
-Alright, creepy.- she though. Than she took a deep breath and asked "And why are we anyways here? To battle a Digimon?"
"This was actually a part of the plan." said Thomas. Arisa sighed.
-At least, one question is answered. The other ninety-nine wait of the former hundred.- she grined. Digiworld, Back to Akira

Akira watched Puppetmons data absorbed by his partner. He than stared at his new card and grined.

"This is a great felling, isn't it?" he asked.
"Yes it is." his partner answered coldly.

Digiworld, Back to Arisa

"Arisa, what does to you mean partnership?" asked Thomas. Arisa looked at him supriesly. "Well..." she started, looking at Impmon, her lips forming a small 'Help' call. Impmon starled for a bit, not knowing how he should help her.
"This isn't a part of the actuall test, so be free to say anything what's in your mind." said Thomas.
"I was never thought about that." said Arisa "But it's a kind of nice feeling. I mean, it gives me a warm feel that is a bit hard to descriebe." she glanced at Impmon who catched her look.
"Well, just say it then." said Thomas. Arisa gave him a look which meant 'And what the heck is the point of this question?' and sighed.
"Partnership means to me that I can trust my partner, even in the most dangerous moments." she gave a quick glance towards Impmon, who for some unknown reason, turned pale red, and countined "It means that I will always know that he is there for me, in good and in bad times."
"Good." said Thomas "And what about you?" He asked Impmon.
"Me?" The imp Digimon gave him a supriese look. "Well, I first wasn't not a bit fond of this strange bond. But I soon go the habit to live with it." He just than glanced at Arisa, and gave a small smirk. "And I know that Arisa will never betray me or leave me behind, despite of how much I'm a lost cause. Or the mistakes I once did."

"You mean your past?" asked Gaomon.

Digiworld, By Ken

Wormmon was facing an Okuwamon. It was an Ulitmate, yes, but Ken knew how he could get the full power out of his partner, even by facing a Ulitmate. He felt the energy flowing trough him.
"Now!" he hissed. His Blue Card turned into a green card with a blue dino shape. Ken smirked. How perfect!

"DigiModify, Warp Digivolution activate!"

WARP DIGIVOLUTION!

"Wormmon, Warp Digivolution to..."

Digiworld, Back to Arisa

"How do ya know?" asked Impmon, supriesed by the fact that Thomas and Gaomon were already informed about his past. Arisa steped in front of Impmon, like she was about to protect him from whatever will happen next.
"I have my own sources of information. And, yes I knew also everything about Black Gatomons past." said Thomas.
"No one should know about this." said Impmon coldly. Thomas grined.
"Honestly, it suprieses how much your past hunts you." he said. "Well, don't judge a book by its bindings, I always say." He looked at them. "It will remain as a secret, I promise."
"Good." Arisa gave a sigh of relief. "You know how much Impmon is important to me. And I to him."
"I do." Thomas gave her a nod and they walked off, getting deeper and deeper into the forest.

"And, why did you asked me about this? What partnership means to me?" asked Arisa again, after the situation chilled down.
"You sure ask youself why it is for your partner so hard to digivoluve. The answer lies on that word." said Thomas.
"Maybe this thing seems to be easy, but it's honestly harder to understood than to crack the hardest DigiZoid." said Impmon. "Honestly, it is, but you know. Together we are stronger." said Arisa. Thomas smiled.
-Soon, you'll prove your strenght.- he thought.

Digiworld, Back to Ken

Ken stared at the remains of his foe, which were abosrbed by the Mega Level of his partner. He gave a grin.

"Just as I said. He was nothing more than a pathetic fool."

Digiworld, Back to Arisa

"Thomas, what do you know about those creepy labs?" asked Arisa. Thomas twitched.
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. However, I'm sure you'll soon find it out." Thomas said it in a cold tone. Arisa shuddered and gulped.
"Well I don't care about your 'you'll soon find it out' crap." said Impmon, much to their supriese. "Something's creepy happening in this Organisation and you don't give a damn care about it. Although you know more than we think you do."

To Arisas and Impmons supriese, Thomas smiled.

"You're pretty clever. But sorrowly, I can't tell you what is going on there. I have a clear task and I will fullify it." said Thomas.
"And who is your taskgaver? Yung? Or someone else?" asked Impmon. Thomas frowned and sighed.
"I already said to much. Stay here." he ordered and walked away, Gaomon following him. Arisa and Impmon just stared at him as he dissapeard.

Digiworld, With Akari

Black Tyranomon roared. Akari smirked. The black dino Digimon was just a perfect victim for her little experiment. Yes, she could feel the new power running trough herself and trough Lilith. The time has come.

"Say goodbye!" she said as her Blue card turned into a light purple card with a black dinosaur shape.

"DigiModify, Warp Digivolution activate!"

WARP DIGIVOLUTION

"Black Gatomon, warp digivolution to..."

Digiworld, Back to Arisa

"This is going to be wierder and wierder." said Arisa.
"And more than that." said Impmon looking around. "Don't you have the strange feelin' that someone has followed us? Ba-boom!"
"I have to admitt that I do." replied Arisa shrugging. They looked around trying to find out if someone's watching them. Impmons ears twitched.

"Arisa, watch out!" he shouted and knocked Arisa off. Just than, a blast came out of nowhere and missed them.
"What the heck was that?" asked Arisa horrified.
"A Digimon." Impmon simply replied. They heard a mad laughter and a tall, skeleton like creature stepped out of the bushes.

"Lets see." Arisa checked his data.

"SkullSatamon Level: Ultimate Attribute: Virus Type: Ghost Digimon Attacks: Bone Blaster and Skull Hammer"

"Heh, you escaped my blast, but the next one you won't. Bone Blaster!" he fired a powerful light from the jewel at the end of its staff. Arisa and Impmon had just enough time to jump in the opposite side to avoid it.
"You have some nerves to attack us. Take this! Bada-Boom!" Impmon threw one of his flames at SkullSatanmon. The flame bearly tickeled him. SkullSatanmon laughed.
"And this was your attempt to stop me? How pathetic! I saw a Pagumon hiting harder than this, and he still got loaded." A devoius smile formed on his mouth. "Of course, you won't have a better end. Skull Hammer!"

He swinged with his staff at Impmon. The impact made him flying and hitting a tree.
"Impmon, no!" cried Arisa out, horrified.
"I-I thought you could it do better." Impmon whispered as he tried to get up. "Master shouldn't we help them?" asked Gaomon. After he and Thomas left Arisa and Impmon alone, they hid nearby to watch them. Thomas already knew that a Digimon followed them and he was curious how will Arisa and Impmon handle the skeleton Ulitmate.
"No. If Impmon wants to digivoluve, he must learn about true partnership. And only bringing Arisa in a dangerous, life threating situation can help him." replied Thomas. Gaomon frowned and watched the battle.

"DigiModify, Power Up activate!" Arisa slashed her card.
"Infernal Funnel!" Impmon summoned a flame and threw it at SkullSatanmon, who didn't even move to avoid it. He just lazily smashed the flame with his staff, much to Impmons supriese. Impmon clenched his fist.
"Bone Blaster!" SkullSatanmon fired an another blast, which hit Impmon hard. The little imp could just hear Arisas fearfull scream before he hit again at the ground, to weak to stand up.

"Impmon!" cried Arisa out, with tears filling her eyes "Impmon!"

SkullSatanmon smiled as he walked over to the imp creature. Impmon could only rise his head.

"It-it isn't over." he whispered. SkullSatanmon frowned.
"Ow, it will be." He prepeared his staff to crush Impmons skull. But before he could do it so he felt a stone hiting him.
"Leave him alone!" shouted Arisa, throwing an another stone. SkullSatanmon grined, and picked Impmon up.
"Hey, you know what? I will first kill your Tamer and than I kill you." he said, dropping Impmon so he hit the ground hardly. SkullSatanmon than walked to Arisa, and before she could do anything, he grabed her at her neck, choking her.

Digiworld, Back to Akari

"This was a nice battle." said the femine, woman like appearence of Black Gatomons Mega Lv.
"Indeed it was." smiled Akari.

Digiworld, Back to Arisa

SkullSatanmon hold Arisa in his grip, choking her to death. Impmon was behind him, beaten up. Thomas and Gaomon watched everything coldly.

"Y-you bastard! Let her go! Ba-boom!" shouted Impmon, trying to stand up. SkullSatanmon decreased his grip, but he didn't let Arisa go.

"Who do you call 'bastard' you pathetic Digimon? I can and I'll delete you in a second, weakling!" said SkullSatanmon. Impmons eyes sparkeled.

"I'm not weak. I'll show you. I'll protect Arisa no matter what! Ba-boom!" he started to glow.

[SH:One Vision-Digimon Tamers]

WARP DIGIVOLUTION

"Impmon, warp digivolution to... Beelzemon!"

~Beelzemon Lv: Mega Atributte: Virus Type: Demon Lord Digimon Atacks: Double Impact and Darkness Claw~

Now, a demon biker stod in front of the startled SkullSatanmon. His red eyes glared at the skeleton Digimon. He tackled SkullSatanmon who let Arisa go and Beelzemon catched her. Arisa opened her eyes, realising that she's in Beelzemons arms. She smiled tiredly.

"You finnaly digivoluve."
"Indeed, I have." Beelzemon nodded and placed her at a saver place. Than he turned to the skeleton Digimon.

"What the heck...How did you...I thought..." SkullSatanmon gulped. He knew that he had no chance against the demon Mega.
"If you mess up with my Tamer, than you mess up with me." replied Beelzemon coldly. He was happy that he got back to his old form. He felt again the power flowing trough every part of his body, and he was ready to chase the skeleton Digimon to the DigiHell. SkullSatanmon prepeared his staff to blast Beelzemon away.

"Bone Blaster!" He fired the blast at the Demon Digimon. The blast seemed to have hit Beelzemon and a huge smoke formed. After the smoke dissapeared, Beelzemon was nowhere in sight. SkullSatanmon grined, but than he felt Beelzemons presence. Beelzemon was right behind him. SkullSatanmon froze.

"Say goodbye. Darkness Claw!" Beelzemons claw went right trough SkullSatanmons chest. The viral skeleton couldn't even let go a yell, before Beelzemon kicked him with his spiked boot. Than SkullSatanmon fell apart into digital pieces, before Beelzemon absorbed them.

He than walked over to Arisa, who could walk now, but still tumbling, after what SkullSatanmon did to her. Beelzemon took a closer investigate and frowend as he saw Arisas neck still red from SkullSatanmons grip.

"I should've first let this jerk SkullSatanmon suffer painfully and than delete him." he said angrily, but than his voice went softer. "Are you alright?"
"I'm right." replied Arisa, smiling. "And I'm happy that you managed to digivoluve." "Well, it seems like I learned what true partnership means." said Beelzemon grining. Just than, Thomas and Gaomon walked out of their hidedout.

"Congratulations, you two." said Thomas smiling. Arisa blinked in supriese.
"Thanks." she said confused.
"Wait a sec... You two were all teh time hidin' in the bushes and watchin' this, while Arisa or I could've get killed by that psycho skeleton?" asked Beelzemon angrily. He had the feel that he could rip them apart and he would do it, but he didn't because of Arisa. She wouldn't be happy about it.
"Yes, but I sure would've infiltrate before you could've get killed." replied Thomas.
"Ok, so we have passed this class test?" asked Arisa.
"I'm not sure, but I know that you have passed the test I've prepeared." said Thomas. Arisa sweatdropp. Thomas mysteriousnes drived her sometimes crazy.

"Take this." Thomas gave them a white card. The card had black dots on its corners. On the back was an another dot, right in the middle. Arisa was confused. It didn't looked like a normal card, or any card she saw.
"Errr, what is this card good for?" she asked. "It's a special card for your mission. When you see that chaos spreads, than use it on the origin of the chaos." said Thomas. "It'll revert it back to normal. I wish you luck."

He than walked away, leaving Arisa and Beelzemon confused. He looked at the Real World above him.

His task was finished.

Yay, Impmon finnaly digivoluved! Beelzemon is soooo cool! ^.^ But what the heck is the White Reverting Card good for? You see it next time! Stay tuned for Digimon Tamers Rise of the Hackers!
