Darkness. That's all I saw. Just an empty blackness that went on for miles. I could move, couldn't think. It was as if my feet were glued to the floor. I tried to scream, to call for help but no sound left my lips. I began to shudder in fear. How did I get here? Where is here? Was I trapped? I wanted to run but my legs still wouldn't budge. I repeatedly mouthed ‘Help’ in hopes that I'd get some sort of response. And I did.

“DO NOT WORRY YOUNG ONE….” Said a deep guttural voice.

My eyes went wide when I heard that voice. It sounded so dark and cold not to mention really close, as if it were right behind me which, considering how I still couldn't move, was not reassuring at all. I could almost feel it's cold breath brushing against my legs...wait, my legs?!

I looked down and screamed in terror when I saw my legs being swallowed up by some strange purple smog. The cold it produced was enough to numb any part of me it crawled up. My eyes started to tear up in fear when the smog reached my chest. It was at this moment that the voice thought it would be a good time to speak.

“SOON YOU WILL EMBRACE ETERNITY!!”

(Line separation)

“AHHH!!!”

He immediately shot up straight, practically obliterating every trace of sleep left in his body. He placed his hand on his chest in attempt to calm his erratic heartbeat. Once his heart calmed down and his breathing no longer came out in short, shallow huffs, he threw himself on his back and sighed in relief.

‘Just a nightmare.’ He thought as he stared up at the cloudless blue sky.

“It sure is nice day.” He thought out loud as a lazy smile stretched across his face. He closed his eyes, relishing in the warmth of the sun, and continued talking to himself.

“Sure am glad I took a nap under this tre-WAIT A MINUTE!!” He yelled as he jumped to his feet and checked his surroundings. Nothing but trees obstructed his view.

“A-A forest? How the heck did I get here?!”

The events of the day before (or at least he thought it was the day before, he had no idea how long he was out) came back to him. He remembered the strange email, the odd sit and that bright light but that was it. Everything after that was a blur.

“Th-This has to be a bad dream. Hehe. Yeah, j-just a bad dream. I'm sure if I just pinch myself I'll-OW!” Unfortunately the sharp pain that went up his arm confirmed that it definitely was not a dream. Rubbing his now sore arm, he another look at his surroundings.

“This can't be happening. This can't be happening. Oh please for the love all humanity don't let this be happening.” He chanted to himself. Leaning against the tree he woke up under as support, he ran a gloved hand through his hair.

‘Wait a second….GLOVED?!’ He thought as he looked at his hands. Sure enough, they were hidden beneath a pair of white gloves. That wasn't the only article of clothing that was changed. His school pants was replaced with a pair of black jeans with red stripes running up the sides. His school shirt was replaced a red short sleeved T-shirt that was hidden beneath a black jacket that also had stripes running up the sides and the sleeves. He also wore a pair of red and black sneakers.

“H-Huh? How did I….? Where's my School uniform?!” He asked himself. He paused for a second before looking at his clothing again. A smile spread across his face.

“Actually, I kinda make look work.” He said before looking around. “Well, I suppose standing here and panicking isn't going to get me anywhere. Now what was it my teacher said to do when you're lost in a forest? I think it was to look into the sun to know the direction to-AHH!! MY EYES!!! AH MAN, WHY DID I THINK THAT WAS GOOD IDEA?!!”

After rubbing his eyes until he could see again, he decided to wander around in hopes of finding a town or something. “Maybe there's a sign around here or something.” He muttered.

Meanwhile

“Stop right there!”

“The hell I will!” I yelled back as I flapped like I never flapped before (aren't you glad I didn't say “Fapped”). I had to if I wanted to get this chick off my back. Honestly, you'd think being able to fly would make losing the Five-O easier and it usually does. But this chick is persistent.

“You'll never take me alive!”

“We'll see about that! Candlemon, get him!”

“Right! Melted Wax!”

Next thing I knew there was a ball of hot wax heading my way. I screamed “Yikes!” as I ducked under it. It land on the floor in front of me and hardened almost instantly.

“You'll have to do better than that Waxy!” I yelled.

‘Damn, how do get rid of these two?’ I thought as I dodged of wax. My wings are starting to get tired and I'm running out funny one-liners. At least she's not calling for backup. That's a plus right?

That's when I got a lucky break. Just ahead of me, I could see Program Forest. ‘Maybe I can loose her there.’ I thought.

Determined to goody-two-shoes and Candle-boy, I flew in the direction of the forest. I guess she figured out what I was doing because I heard her panicking.

“Crap! Don't let him get into the forest Candlemon!”

“Bonfire!”

“Whoa!” I yelled as I just barely dodged a small fireball. That scared me just enough to get me to start putting the pedal to metal.

It took me a few minutes and I also got burned with each one but I made into the forest (barely) unscathed. I started to weave through the trees in an attempt to lose em. When I could no longer hear them yelling and no fireballs were thrown at me, I decided to perch myself on a branch and take a breather. I needed to think of a way to get those coppers off my back.

‘Running’s no good. It's like those two have nothing better to do. Fighting? Uh no thank you. Hiding? Nah, that won't work. They'll keep looking until it's dark if they have to. Unless…..’

That's when I had an idea. If I could somehow convince them that I'm still on the run, I might be able to hide while they run right past me. Unfortunately there's only one problem with that plan. How the Dark Area am I gonna convince super cop that I'm long gone.

And that, folks, is when I got another lucky break.

“Didn't I just pass this tree…?”

‘Huh?’

I looking around to find whoever just spoke, only actually finding who it was when I looked down. There was some kid staring at the trunk of the tree I was in. Judging by the way he was scratching his head, he was confused as hell.

‘Huh, weirdo.’I thought. I was about to fly off when I heard footsteps heading my way.

“I think he went this way. Come on.”

I panicked. She was right on my tail. I needed to think of something fast. I looked down at the kid below me. I had an idea but it was long shot. Like, five miles away long. But I guess it's worth a shot.

‘Well, here goes nothing.’

“Psst. Pssssst. Hey kid.”

(Line separation)

“Didn't I just pass this tree…?” He asked himself, scratching his head in confusion. He honestly had no idea. All the tree in this forest looked the same to him.

‘Great. Just freaking great’ He thought as he tried to get his bearings. He wasn't sure how long he was walking through the forest but he was pretty sure he had just walked in a circle.

“Psst. Pssssst. Hey kid.”

‘Huh?’

He looked left and right in an attempt to find the source of the voice but only saw trees, trees and a moose. No wait, that just another tree. He blinked three before letting out an over dramatized sigh.

‘Great. I’ve lost my mind too. I thought I'd last at least another two years before that happened. Oh well, guess I better choosing an asylum.’ He thought. That's when he heard it again.

“Psssssst! Up here.”

He blinked in confusion before looking up and jumping away from the tree in fright. Now he knew he'd gone crazy.

‘What the heck is that?!’

Perched on one of the branches of the tree he was under, was what one could only describe as a round bat-like creature. It had two big wings with two smaller ones underneath them, wore what looked like a blue mask of some sort and had two wisp-like attachments on the top of its head. Its eyes were a bright shade of yellow and its head seemed to take up its entire body. It also had a red band around its right leg.

It stared at him with a large smile on its face before speaking again. “Sup kid.”

Liam blinked twice, his mind still trying to process one simple fact.

It spoke.

It freaking spoke! With actual words!

He rubbed his eyes and blinked. When he still saw the bat-thing there he slapped himself twice before looking at it again. He sighed in relief when he didn't see it there anymore.

“You done yet?”

“Nhyaaa!!!” He yelled, jumping away from the bat-thing that was now behind him. It blinked before speaking again.

“What was that? Some kind of weird human greeting or something?”

“W-Wha-”

“Hey!”

His sentence was cut off but the sounds of footsteps and yelling. He turned and someone coming his way. The bat-creature panicked and said “uh-oh.” before flying back into the tree.

As the person got closer, Liam was able to get a better look at her. She had long light-brown hair that went a little past her shoulders and fair skin. She wore a pair of black skinny jeans and white long sleeved shirt with a tight as well as a light pink zip-up hoodie and brown boots. However, it was what was hopping along side her that really got his attention.

‘Sweet mother of glob does that candle have a face?!!’

Not really knowing what else to do, he waited for her to reach him, hoping that she might be able to help him out of this forest. Once they were in front of him, he was able to notice the colour of her eyes. It couldn't tell what colour it was, sort of a blue-grey.

She was hunched over and gasping for breath. When she spoke, her voice was raspy. “Excuse me...have you seen….a demi...you know what? Candlemon, you take this. I need a breather. She said between gasps.

Her partner, Candlemon as it's apparently named, nodded before turning its attention to Liam. “Good day sir. My name is Candlemon and this is Mikaela Presley. We are officers from the digital T.P.U.”

Mikaela, who finally managed to get her breath back, flashed a batched as proof of their occupation. It was silver with the letters ‘T.P.U’ in the middle.

‘Digital T.P.U? What does that stand for?’ He thought. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed that mikaela was still talking.

“We were wondering if you've seen this individual.” Asked Mikaela as she pulled a small circular device. She pressed a big blue button in the center, causing it to display a holographic projection. What really shocked him however, was the fact that it was a projection of the bat-creature that was hiding in the tree right behind her.

“Uuuum….”

He was in a bit of a dilemma now. On one hand, he could easily point toward the bat-creature and watch as it get capture and maybe even ask for direction. On the other hand, he had no idea who this chick was or what she wanted with the bat-creature. He looked towards where the bat was hiding. It stuck its head out and moved one of its talons to its mouth and mouthed “Shhh” before giving him the puppy dog eyes. Liam sighed, already making his decision.

‘I'm going to regret this.’ He thought before turning his attention back to mikaela and candlemon who were still looking at him expectantly.

“Uhh...Yes I did officers. He went that way.” He said, pointing in some random direction. Mikaela looked in the direction he was pointing before nodding to him.

“Alright, thank you for your cooperation sir. Come on Candlemon.”

“Right!”

And with that, they were off. Sent on some half assed wild goose chase. He wanted until they were no longer in site before turning his attention to the bat-creature.”Alright, they're gone. You can come out now.”

He didn't have to wait very long before the it flew out of the tree and It hovered in in front of his face.

“Phew, finally lost em. Thanks kid, you saved my bacon.”

“Um...you're welcome I guess.” That's when he remembered something: he still needed directions out of this damn forest. “Oh wait, can you help me out? I'm kinda lost you see and I have no idea what I'm doing. You think you could show me the way outta here?”

The bat-creature seemed to think about it for a second before replying. “Well, I don't usually help civilians but since you helped me out of jam I guess I could return the favour.”

“Really?! Oh thank you so much.”

“Don't mention it kid.” He said as he perched himself on Liam’s head. He point one of his talons east before saying “Just head that way.”

“Thanks.” And with that, he went east. The walk was silent until he noticed that the bat-thing was still perched on his head.

“Uhh, thanks. You can go now.” He deadpanned.

The bat-creature just smiled before replying. “Nah. I'll think with you for a while.”

“Wait, what?! Don't I get a say in this?!”

“Nope. So what's your name kid?”

Liam let out a defeated sigh before responding. “Liam. You?”

The bat flew off his shoulder and hovered in front of his face again. “The name's Demidevimon. Nice to meet ya pal.” He declared before reaching forward with one of his talons. Liam stared at it for a moment shrugging and shaking it. With that done, Demidevimon re-perched himself on Liam’s head.

“So where are you from kid? Never seen you around here before.”

“New York and I don't even know where ‘here’ is.”

“New york? Never heard of it. As for your lack of knowledge, I'm not surprised. You humans get lost so easily.”

“Oh yeah? Well where are you from?”

“The same place all dark digimon are from; the dark area.”

Liam nodded and kept walking. He didn't bother asking what a digimon was or where the dark area is. It would probably just give him a headache anywhere. For now he was cool with just finding his out of this forest with his new traveling buddy.

(Line separation)

Meanwhile, Mikaela and Candlemon had their own problem to deal with. They had gone the direct Liam pointed them to but didn't find any clues as to where Demidevimon had gone off to. Needless to say, neither of them were in the best of moods.

“I can't believe we lost him.” Whined Candlemon.

“I just don't get it. We went in the direction that guy pointed us. How could we have lost him?” Said Mikaela. It just didn't make sense to her. There was no way Demidevimon could gotten away so easily.

‘Then again he is a pretty sly digimon. Wouldn't put it past him to trick us into losing his trail.’

“So what do we do now?” Asked Candlemon. She took a moment to think about their next course of action before responding.

“Well, it's no use looking for him. He's probably long gone by now. Our only option now is to head back to Digi-City E. sigh There goes my perfect record.”


“But what are we gonna tell the chief?”

Mikaela froze. She did not think of that. A shudder run up her spine at the thought of what the chief would do when she found out they didn't catch Demidevimon. She might give them ‘The look’.


“Crap! Okay we have like, an hours trip back to Digi-city E. So that gives us more than enough time to think of something right? Right?”

When she got no response, she turned to her partner and so that he was behind a bush. He was staring intensely at something, what it was she didn't know.

“Candlemon, what are you-”

“SSSHHH!!

He motioned her to come closer which only confused her more. Nevertheless, she complied. When she was crouched next to him, he pointed at some in the treeline. She didn't see anything at first but after squinting her eyes a litter she saw a silhouette of someone moving deeper into the forest.

“Who is that?” She asked her partner.

“Beats me.” He replied before turning to face her. “You think that might be our guy?”

“No, whoever that is is way too big to be Demidevimon. Hmmm….Still I suppose it's worth looking into. Come on Candlemon. “

And with that, they followed the mystery person into the forest. They couldn't see the person's front but from what they could tell from the person's back, it was definitely a male. He spike blue hair, wore a black hoodie, though the hoodie was down at the moment, and a pair of worn out blue jeans. They followed him to clearing where he. He stood completely still as if waiting for something.

“Why is he just standing there?” She whisper to her partner. He simply shrugged in response. They sat in hiding until they suddenly heard a loud buzzing sound. They looked up and stared in awe as a giant red beetle descended from the sky and landed in front of the mystery person.

“That is a big Kuwagamon.” Stated Candlemon before getting shushed by his partner. That was when the male finally spoke.

“You got the stuff?”

“Boy do I ever.” Replied Kuwagamon as he pulled out a small red device. “This should be enough to take out a whole digi-Area.”

“Say what?!” Whispered Mikaela.

“Perfect.” Said the male as he pulled a small bag from his back pocket. “I believe this should be enough to cover the pay.” He said as he tossed the bag to the giant insect digimon who caught it without any problem.

“Excellent. Pleasure doing business with you.”

“Mikaela, we have to do something!”

“I know I know. Just let me think alright.”

She tried to think of a way to stop this without it getting messy. Calling for backup was pointless, they'd be gone before the backup arrived, and trying to steal the device would not only be useless but also idiotic on so many levels. There was only one thing they could do.

“We have no choice. We're going to have to fight. Come on.”

“Yes ma’am.”

The Kuwagamon was about to give the device to the boy when a voice stopped him.

“Stop right there!”

“What the?” said the male as he turned his attention to her. Now that she could see his face she notice he had bright green eyes a scar on his forehead shaped like an ‘X’.

“You two are under arrest for the possession of illegal property!”

Kuwagamon, who looked downright furious, snatched the device away from the male. “You little brat! You tricked me!”

“What?! I didn't have anything to do with this!” The male responded.

“Liar! You'll pay for this!”

Kuwagamon tried to grab the boy but he jumped out of the way. This only made the insect digimon angrier as he continued to try and get his claws on him. Eventually the boy slipped and fell on his rear. Kuwagamon lifted his foot, about to step on the boy, but was interrupted by a fireball hitting him in the face. He then turned his attention to Mikaela and Candlemon.

“You dare get in my way?! I'll erase your data!” He yelled before charging straight at them. Mikaela and Candlemon jump out of the way just in time. As she landed, Mikaela pulled out her pink digivice.

“Digivice activate!”

The words “Digivolve: champion” were displayed on the screen. Suddenly, a bright light enveloped Candlemon until only his silhouette could be seen. His body began to grow and morph until it was almost unrecognisable.

“Candlemon Digivolve to…….Sorcerymon!”

When the light faded, a different digimon stood where Candlemon once did. He looked like your stereotypical wizard. In his left hand was a staff that had a large snowflake at the top. Kuwagamon did not look impressed.

“You think that'll be enough to stop me?! I'll crush you!”

Sorcerymon didn't even flinch at Kuwagamon’s booming voice. He kept a facial expression of indifference and spoke in a calm and collected tone. “Bring it on.”

(Line separation)

Liam and Demidevimon (mostly Liam) had been walking for a good half an hour before they decided to take a breather. Liam was sitting against a tree with his hands behind his back while Demidevimon was trying to take a nap on his lap. It was at that moment that Liam decided ask about something that was bugging him since he met the little bat.

“By the way, I've been meaning to ask; why was that girl and her candle chasing you?”

The little bat didn't even bother to open his eyes as he responded. “Meh, I pulled some pranks and they thought I was being a bit too mischievous. Damn T.P.U have no sense of humour.” He muttered.

“That's another thing; what the hell is a Digital T.P.U anyway?”

“Digital Tamer Peace Union. They're in charge of, and I quote, “Keeping the peace in the digital world” though they kinda suck at it.”

‘Digital world? Is that where I am?’

“Soo...they're like, super cops?”

“Basically. Now I have a question for you.” He said as he stood on Liam’s lap. “What the Dark Area is that thing?” He asked, motioning to Liam’s belt.

“That my little bat, is a belt. It's used to keep my pants up and-”

“Not that! I'm talking about the thing sticking out of your pocket.”

“The what now?”

He stuck his hand in his pocket and sure enough, there was something in there. He pulled it out and saw it was some sort of small, black, phone shaped device. It had a small button on its side and a small screen the front.

“I...have no idea.”

He stared at it for a moment before he decided to push the button. He knew it was probably a bad idea but his curious got the better of him. As soon as he pressed the button, a red light shot out from the device. The light over Liam’s body. When it was done, the light turned green and retreated back to the device.

“TAMER RECOGNISED. SCANNING DIGIMON PARTNER.”

The red light shot out of the device again except this time it scanned over Demidevimon. When it was done it turned green and went back into the device.

“DIGIMON RECOGNISED: DEMIDEVIMON”

Liam and Demidevimon blinked in confusion as they stared at the strange device. They waited for something to occur but nothing happened.

“What the Dark Area just happened?”

“Beats me. Just what the heck is this thing?”

“That, young one, is a digivice.”

They both jumped fright at the sound of a new voice. They turned around and saw a figure wearing a black cloak standing behind them. The cloak hid all the person’s features but they could tell that the person a female due to the sound of her voice.

“W-Who the heck are you?” Liam asked.

“There is no time for that. You're friend is in danger.”

“My what now?”

Now he was just confused. He didn't come to this forest with a friend. He didn't even have any to begin with. The only people he knew were Demidevimon and….

“Wait, you mean the chick with the walking candle? Sorry lady but they aren't my friends. In fact I don't even know them. So if you'll excuse u- WOAH!!!”

He cut himself off when he noticed a big purple hole forming underneath them. He tried to run but it already began pulling him and Demidevimon in. As he fell through the portal, he only had enough time to say one thing.

“This is incredibly fucked uuuuuup!!!!!”

(Line separation)

“Scissor Claw!”

“Sorcerymon look out!”

Sorcerymon jumped to the side to avoid slashed by Kuwagamon’s giant claws. Once he landed, he pointed his staff at Kuwagamon.

“Crystal Barrage!”

Various ice crystals were launched at the insect digimon. A few hit their mark but most of them but most of them missed due to Kuwagamon flying to avoid the attack. Once the attack was out of the way, he stopped in midair and dive bombed towards Sorcerymon.

“Trap Scissors!”

Once he got close enough, Kuwagamon spread his pincers, hoping to crush Sorcerymon. But the ice wizard was one step ahead. When Kuwagamon snapped his pincers shut, Sorcerymon jammed them open by turning his staff sideways and shoving it between his pincers. Kuwagamon roared in anger and started shaking his head wildly, talking Sorcerymon and his staff with him. He shook his head until Sorcerymon was sent flying into a tree.

“Sorcerymon!!” Yelled Mikaela as she ran to her partner only for Kuwagamon to jump in front of her.

“And just where do you think you're going?” He asked as he stalked towards her. He lifted his claw, about to slash her into oblivion, but stopped when he heard a scream.

“This is incredibly fucked uuuuuup!!!!!”

That when something landed on his head causing him to panic and shake his head wildly. Mikaela’s eyes widened when she saw that her saviours were Demidevimon and the stranger she met earlier.

Meanwhile, Liam and Demidevimon were having their own problem. They held on for dear life as Kuwagamon threw them back and forth in an attempt to get them off.

“Woah!! Woah!! Woah!! Wee!! Woah!! Woah!! Woah!! Wee!!”

Eventually their grip started to slip (hey that rhymes) and they were thrown off. Demidevimon simply stopped himself in midair. Liam however, was not so lucky. He was thrown into a tree. You could hear him grunt in pain as he fell out of the foliage and land on his ass.

“I really hate this forest.” He groaned. Demidevimon landed next to him.

“You okay?”

“I'm not dead. I suppose that's a good sign.” He mutter. When he got up, he saw what was problem big he'd ever seen.

“What the heck is that?!”

“You!”

They turned their attention to Mikaela. She did not look happy. “So that's where he was! You were hiding him!” She yelled, pointing at Demidevimon.

“Uh...sup officer”

“Enough talk!” Roared Kuwagamon who was getting tired of all this. “I'll destroy you all right now! Scissor Claw!”

“Yikes!”

Liam jumped to his left to avoid the attack while Demidevimon jumped to the right. When he got up, he noticed that Kuwagamon had Demidevimon in a corner and was about to bring his claw down.

“Demidevimon!!”

Demidevimon shivered in fear. There was no way for him to escape. When Kuwagamon lifted his claw, he saw his life flash before his eyes.

‘My only regret is this part.’

Kuwagamon was about to bring bis claw down when he suddenly started yelling. He reached something on his back. When he turned around, Demidevimon saw Liam on his back, roughly pulling on his wings.

“Demidevimon, get out of here.! I'll distract him!”

Demidevimon couldn't believe it. This kid who he had only met a little while ago was risking his life to save him. No one had ever done anything like that for him before.

“Go now!” He yelled. Demidevimon stood there for a second before nodding and flying off. Liam sighed in relief when he saw Demidevimon leave. But now he had a new problem. What was he going to do now?

‘Yeah I didn't exactly think this plan through did I?’ He thought.

Eventually, Kuwagamon managed to get a good grip on him and throw him off. His back hit the trunk of a tree, causing him to cried out in pain. He tried to get up but was stop by large red foot pressing down on him.

“You're gonna pay for that kid!!”

“Why does everyone keep calling me that? I'm fucking eighteen!” He groaned. He couldn't believe he was going to die like this. He always thought he'd die in a mental hospital or in prison after being arrested for peeing in public. Not being stepped on by a bug.

“Well, at least it's an ironic death…” He muttered, bracing himself for a trip to the other side. Just when thought his organs were going to shoot out of his head due to the pressure, he heard a very unexpected voice.

“Demidevi Claw!!”

Kuwagamon yelled out in pain as felt Demidevimon’s talons slash his face, causing him to stumble backwards. Demidevimon landed next to Liam as he got up from the ground. We he got himself up straight again, he turned his attention to the digimon who saved him.

“You came back…?”

Demidevimon smiled at him before perching himself on his shoulder. “I told ya kid; you helped me out of a jam so I'm returned the favor.”

“RAAAGH!!!”

The smiles on their faces vanished when they remembered that they still had to deal big-red-and-ugly. They backed up against the tree as he got closer.

“That's it! I've had enough of this! I'm gonna rip you-”

“Crystal Barrage!!”

Suddenly, Kuwagamon was hit with an onslaught of ice crystals, each exploding on contact. He roared in pain and stumbled backwards. Liam and Demidevimon turned their attention to the direction the blast came from and saw Mikaela with her hands on her hips and a proud smile on her face. Her partner stood in front of her, his staff still pointed at Kuwagamon.

Demidevimon was about to thank her (or insult her. Whichever works really) when he noticed something in the corner of his eye. He looked down and saw purple light coming from Liam’s pocket.

“Kid, there's something purple coming from your pants.”

“What?! Again?!” Liam yelled, panic written all over his face. He calmed down when he saw the glow coming from his pocket. He reached in his pocket and pulled out his digivice. The screen was flashing with purple light.

“What the heck?”

“Say ‘Digivice activate’!”

Liam turned his attention to mikaela who was looking at him with a serious expression on ber face.

“What? Why?”

“Just do it!”

“Alright alright. Geez bossy much?” He muttered before looking down at his digivice. “Uhh...Digivice activate?”

The screen suddenly shined brighter, almost blinding him. When he heard Demidevimon yell out in surprised, he turned his head and show that he was engulfed in a purple light.

“What the…?”

“Demidevimon digivolve to……...Devimon!!”

When the light faded, a different creature stood where Demidevimon once did. This being looked like evil incarnate. Its body was completely black and it had long arms, legs and claws. Its eyes were as red as blood and it had a bat-like simple on its chest. This was Devimon.

“Woah! Now this is what I'm talking about.” Said Devimon as he looked in awe at himself.

“I've never felt this powerful before! This is awesome! Right kid?” When he got no response he looked around in concern. “Uh...Kid?”

“Down...here…”

Devimon looking down and noticed that his foot was on top of Liam. He was so distracted by his digivolution that had forgotten that he was perched on Liam’s shoulder when it happened.

“Whoops! Sorry pal.”

He lifted his foot off of him, allowing him to get up off the floor. As he stood up, he looked up at Devimon and smiled.

“Looking good buddy.”

“And feelin’ good.” Replied Devimon before he turned his attention to Kuwagamon who was preoccupied with Sorcerymon. Liam followed his a gaze before a smirk formed on his face.

“What do you say that overgrown dung beetle a lesson?”

“Kid, you just read my mind.”

Meanwhile, Kuwagamon was furiously trying to get rid of Sorcerymon but it was proving to be easy said than done. He was getting very annoyed with all this fighting.

“Hey, pub!”

Kuwagamon turned around only to receive a hard kick to the face. The kick was strong enough to send him flying through a tree. When he got up he saw a newly digivolved Devimon giving him the bird. He was so mad that a tick mark appeared on his head.

“You won't get away with that; I'll kill you slowly!!”

Devimon simply ignored him and turned his attention to Sorcerymon. “So, I noticed you could use some help. Wanna tag team this asshole?”

“Hmph, Why not. Let's make it quick. My programmes gonna be on in an hour.”

“You mean ‘The young and the digital’? I love that show! Did you see the one when-”

“Scissor Claw!!”

They both jumped to the side to avoid the attack.

“Do you mind pub? We were having a conversation.” Said Devimon as he got in fight stance.

“It was a little rude of you to interrupt.” Commented Sorcerymon.

“I'll kill you al-”

“Deadly Nail!!”

Kuwagamon scream out in pain as he felt Devimon’s claws slash his face. It only caught worse from there.

“My turn! Crystal Barrage!!”

The impact of the various ice crystal was energy to bring Kuwagamon to his knees. He tried to regain his balance but he wasn't given the chance.

“And now for the finishing touch; Laser Wing!!”

Devimon flapped his wings, sending twin beams of wing shaped energy at Kuwagamon. They exploded on contact. When the smoke cleared, they saw Kuwagamon lying on the ground unconscious.

“Mikaela, now!” Said Sorcerymon.

Mikaela pulled out her digivice and pointed it at Kuwagamon. “Digivice: Capture!”

A beam of light shot out of the device and landed on Kuwagamon. His body glowed as it was converted into data and sucked into the Digivice. When it was over, Kuwagamon was gone.

“Alright, We did it!” Exclaimed Liam as he ran towards Devimon, who had digi-converted back into Demidevimon. When he reach him, he pulled him into a hug. “You were awesome buddy!”

“Damn right I was! And the best part is that we managed to tie up the loose ends”

“Not quite.” Said Mikaela as she made her way over to them. They immediately stopped their celebration as she stood in front of them, an innocent smile was on her face.

“You two are under arrest.”
