A strange figure left primary village armed only with a DigiVice??ths later??lt;br> *seeks out the Digimon Emperor. Finds him on a hill commanding a bunch of geckomon* "Hey Ken??p;quot; "What the??ho are you?" "Does it really matter?" "Wait a second??know you??u're Myotismon, that old dark master who was bea??p;quot;*smack!* "Listen, I ruled this world once, and I'm gonna rule it again. And YOU'RE not going to stop me, Mr.Perfect-Genius-Soccer-Man." "Whatever. Just let me throw this dark ring around you and the spire should be able to control yo??! What the? Why isn't it working?" "Stupid. Don't you know a snake is immune to it's own venom? Did you REALLY think that a dark object would work against a dark master?" "It doesn't matter. I can beat you other ways. All of you! Get this??hack* *Ken Ichijouji lies on the ground in pain * " As for the rest of you, I ruled you 4 years ago and can do it again, so don't get any ideas!" *kicks Ken and laughs* "I've got even bigger plans for you. Crimson lightening!" *there is a large flash. It hits Ken and he goes unconscious. Myotismon starts tying him up with some chain he brought * "Well, no need to let free labor go to waste. Start rebuilding my castle!" I'm posting more anyway, but your comments would still be appreciated. Myoty sighed as he settled down into his chair. It was good to be back in charge. At least of a small part of the DigiWorld. He was also glad to be back in his castle, drafty though it was, and, most importantly, back where he belonged. He did regret one thing. He had to free Ken, at least for a bit. After all, the show must go on??uckily, he memory wiped him. Ken was none the wiser and neither were those stupid DigiDestined kids. But it bothered him too that Ken had control of Greymon. That could mean bad things for him. There had to be a stop this kid SOON! That, plus the fact that Veemon gained a new DigiVolve, was also bothering him. He was just guessing, but probably ALL of those stupid Digimon had two eggs, out there, somewhere. No, he wasn't going to steal them. He tried theft and that didn't work very well??t;br> There was really only one thing left to do. He himself had to get a higher DigiVolve, maybe even with the new armor upgrade. But he couldn't, not anymore??omMyotismon was definitely destroyed for good in that last battle. Anything else would be totally new. But how to do it? The DigiDestined had their DigiVices, but his didn't seem to work in the same way. No matter how many time he tried, it just would produce any changes. He doubted he had a DigiEgg, but it might not hurt to look. He thought he'd send out a scout party of veggiemon to look, just in case??t;br> Then he remembered. The original kids had crests the first time. These crest stood for positive values which each one possessed. Hope, love, courage, light, etc. But what positive values could HE have? A virus type? Not likely. But then how could Ken's Digimon DigiVolve? Well, he couldn't, not yet any way. Pathetic little Wormon. Still, the problem had to have a solution. There MUST be some good in him??bad as that thought was. But what could it be? What on earth! He had to think of it if he was going to become stronger and show ken up, maybe even get back ALL of his land. So??d traits??ood traits??my. This would be hard?? Meanwhile back on earth??t;br> "Hey Izzy, Look at your map of the DigiWorld!" "Yeah Tai?" "I know we freed the white squares and Ken controls that black ones, but what that dark blue square up in to corner doing there?" "I don't know??mmm?? of a mystery. We'd better check it out." ! ------------------------------------------------------------ Myoty paced. And did that some more. He was worried about his lost power and the fact that he had no idea how to regain it. Plus, there was the fact that his territory was being ever more closed in on by the Emperor. Something had to be done, quickly. Yet, as he'd expected, there didn't seem to be a DigiEgg for him. None of his HenchMons had even found a crest. Yet, maybe they didn't have the right tools. After all, only he held his true DigiVice. Hating to leave his castle, Myotismon was forced to go. Not that he wanted to leave that incompetent DemiDevimon in charge....(who by the way forgot all about that little snack incident) but the alternative was worse. he needed power, and he needed to succeed. Coming to the conclusion (totally unfounded of course) that the crest, if there was one, was within his own realm, he set off. He began exploring the darker regions of the DigiForest where none but the Ultimate dared to go.... --------------- Meanwhile, the DigiDestined were fast making their way towards his castle, unbeknownst to him of course. --------------- Myotismon had traveled, both in the air and on the ground, for what felt like days. Day and night were no longer distinguishable and he had no watch to go on. He couldn't fly so much now, and he was SERIOUSLY thinking about heading back to his fortress. Just then, his DigiVice flashes a bright, green light.... ---------------- Tai led the others nearer and nearer to where the computer had shown. They were all curious, but that didn't stop them from getting a bad feeling about this. Especially Gatomon, since everything along the way seemed to remind he of a past she wanted to forget... ---------------- Myotismon followed the light until at last he seemed to find its source. According to his device, the crest was buried right in front of this tree. He saw it...a charm on a cord...it was almost within his grasp.....YES! ----------------- "Ahhhhh!" "Gatomon, what's wrong?" said Kari, panic in her voice. "Nothing...I just felt....presence...someone....nothing." ----------------- He held it high above his head. Success was his at last. He flew swiftly homeward, still unaware that the kids were making their way there. He entered his abode, still as he left it, and wondered. he had the crest, but what was if FOR? What was his ability? He studied it carefully, but the only hint was a curvy line. That was all. Was it a wave? Wind? What? That symbol meant everything, for without that ability the crest might as well not have been found. ----------------- The kids turned a corner and came to the foot of a mountain yet unknown to them. It went straight up and there, on the top, was... "Myotismon's castle." said Tai, in a whisper. "That can't be!" said Izzy. "We destroyed him, we all saw it!" "Do you want to fill US in here?" said Davis. "Here goes." said Kari, as she told the tale of four years ago. ------------------ Myotismon wondered. And wondered. And then he understood. it was all clear.... But, then, the crest began to glow as he realized its power. He felt his own power leaving him and becoming part of the crest. For it to work, he'd have to give up something and do what he hadn't done in over a decade.... Become an in-training Digimon. MYOTISMON DEDIGIVOLVE TOOOO.......AKRAMON! ------------------- Her story finished, Kari stood. "Now, you see why we must go inside!" They quickly ascended and went to open the door....left unlocked.... --------------------- From he study where he still sat, Akramon heard them trying to enter. He know that the beings at his door could only be one thing. he had to leave and fast, for they'd surely kill him, easily too, in this weakened state. But where or how to hide.....the door opened....panic began to cloud his mind.... ---------------------------------------------------------- Akramon (lower form of Myoty) was seriously panicking. He had to get out of here FAST! But there was no way...no hope...not without revealing himself. He could run, but like this, he'd only get so far... Footsteps. They were still getting closer! At least he could get into the next room. It would be close, but maybe he could make it. Swiftly he left his chair and was at the door. It slammed and locked behind him just as the DigiDestined came in. What he saw behind the door was even more unbelievable... ---------------------------------------------------------- "Strange" said Tai, his brow furrowed. "What's wrong?" Kari asked, looked at her brother inquisitively. "Nothing...I just thought there was someone in here." "Well its abandoned now." 'Hey!" said Davis. "We didn't come all this way for nothing. Lets explore at least a bit! Besides, I'm tired after that climb. I need to rest!" ---------------------------------------------------------- Akramon knew they would be coming in soon. They'd push open the door and it would be all over for him. They'd question him and he couldn't hide the truth forever. But right in front of him was a way out. There, in the floor, was an exiting terminal. It's screen was lit and it was functional. All he had to do was lift up his DigiVice... ---------------------------------------------------------- "Well, there nothing neat about this room," said Yolie. "Let's move on" But Gatomon just sat there for a moment, looking at Myoty's throne, thinking of a time when she'd reported to the Digimon that sat there... "Is something wrong?" said Yolie. "No," said Gatomon, breaking out of her reverie. "I agree. Let's go." -------------------------------------------------------- Akramon disappeared in a whirl of light, feeling the portal close behind him. He tumbled out of Izzy's computer and onto the cold floor. However, it was only moments before he felt that something wasn't quite right... -------------------------------------------------------- "Hey! Did you guys see a flash?" said Patamon. "Nope, sorry." said T.K. with a friendly smile. "But we'd better hurry up and finish here before Ken starts wrecking havoc again...." -------------------------------------------------------- Akramon/Myoty knew something was wrong even before he stood up. It was then that he notice he had legs. LEGS? In fact, a whole body! Akramon didn't look like that! Was he Myotismon again? But, something still felt different. He needed to see himself...fast. Quickly, he rushed off to a dark terminal and looked at the slightly reflective screen. Then he knew what was wrong. He was human. -------------------------------------------------------- "Well, we've been almost everywhere else. We should probably explore the dungeons before leaving." said Matt. "Well, alright," said Gabumon. "But that WON'T be my favorite part of the tour. ---------------------------------------------------------- Human! He couldn't believe it! HOW could this have happened to him? I just didn't make sense! Yet there he was, living. He could tell...the computer no longer identified him as being digital. Besides, he didn't feel that way. Now, he felt so much more alive, so much more....real. Stunned as he was, Myoty still managed to get a good look at himself. He was average for a human, male, blond, and looked to be about twelve. He wasn't positive though. Strangest of all, was the fact that if one looked closely, his teeth were still pointed, almost like a vampires, like they had been in the DigiWorld. Still, as a human in this world, there were changes that had to be made. He needed a plan for what to do with this new ability... ---------------------------------------------------------- The dungeon was dark and smelled pretty terrible, which wasn't altogether surprising for a dungeon. The kids could barely see through the blackness. "Doesn't look like anyone's here," said T.K., glancing around. "We'd better leave." Suddenly...a voice came from the dungeons. "T.K! Is it REALLY you?!! You came! You didn't forget us! ---------------------------------------------------------- Myotismon was really at a loss for words. He was a totally new person now, in so many ways. But there were consequences now that he was a human, and details that needed to be dealt with. He looked at himself again. He was clothed with, not the cape and suit he normally wore, but with plain khaki pants and a white dress shirt, unbuttoned at the top. Just that would never do. He needed more than THAT in his wardrobe. And he needed food. And a place to live. Stupid human needs. What it all seemed to come down to was money. He had none. Most kids got cash from their parents, but he didn't have any so what was he supposed to do? After all, stealing could only get him so far. Of course, he could always spend his nights in the castle in the DigiWorld, in fact he'd prefer that. But he also wanted to spend his days here, attacking Ken from a different angle. How could he still live here and LIVE here? Then a smile lit his sharp-incisored face... ---------------------------------------------------------- T.K. was totally taken aback at the sound of his name. "Who's there?" he yelled, darting forward into the darkness. "It's us!" said the voices yet again. And as Yolie advanced with a small flashlight, T.K. saw the smiling face of Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon staring out of the darkness. ---------------------------------------------------------- He was human. So why shouldn't he just act like one? No one knew about his past...it wouldn't take that much to fool people. Human by day, Digi by night...an old concept, twin identities, but a good one. The only trick was how to keep up both appearances. He needed a family, but one who wouldn't notice he was gone by night. One here, in the city, where he could stay near Ken...and the DigiDestined. Great. Easy task. He had no idea where to even begin looking... ---------------------------------------------------------- "You guys! How did you get here? How did this whole place get here?" "We reappeared when the castle was reassembled. Of course, when it was previously destroyed, we were still in the dungeons, thanks to Myotismon. But, we always knew you'd come and free us!" dictated Pumpkinmon, with a smile on his orange face. "But how did the palace get rebuilt?" said the dumbfounded T.K. "Myotismon did that when he came back" "MYOTISMON??!!!!" shouted all the kids in unison. ----------------------------------------------------------- Myoty decided that he had first best leave the room, since those kids might reappear at any time. However, just as he was walking out of the door, in deep thought about his predicament, his foot hit a small bag on the floor. "That's odd." he said aloud to no one but himself. "I didn't see it there before." Thinking it couldn't hurt to have a look, he began searching the pockets. And what he found was the biggest surprise yet.... --------------------------------------------------------- "Myotismon...I knew he was back. I felt him return." said Gatomon. "This is terrible! As if we didn't have enough to worry about!" yelped Sora. "By the way," said T.K., as a thought stuck him, "Are any more of Myotismon's prisoners down here?" "None but that chained up DigiEgg over there," said Gotsumon, pointing as Gatomon freed him with one swift swipe of her claws. ---------------------------------------------------------- Inside the book bag there was a small wallet, with an identification card on it. It was his. He fit the description perfectly. Blond, blue eyes, 5'4, male, born Dec. 5, 1988.........This was him. And that wasn't all. This mysterious card went far beyond just a physical description of him. For, on it, was the name of the person it belonged to and his home address... ---------------------------------------------------------- "Look! It's a DigiEgg!" said Cody. "I wonder what's inside it!" "Only one way to find out." said Joe. "We need to make it hatch." "Here, I'll get it, we can take it home with us." said Kari, reaching down to pick up the egg. But, just as she did, it began to glow... --------------------------------------------------------- Myotismon could have screamed for joy. The perfect, plausible solution was right in front of him. Apparently, when he'd become human, his life was built in to the history of the world's. So now, he was as normal as any of the others could be, with the exception that, underneath his exterior was a Dark Master. But he would play that part later, when he was back in the Digital World. However, for now, he knew who he was and what part he'd have to play in the daylight. He was Henrik Mortien, and German exchange student living at T.K.'s house for the school year. --------------------------------------------------------- "Wow Kari! Now you have a Perimon too!" said Yolie, looking at the cute little Digimon. "Yeah, but I wish I knew what it was going to be. By the way Yolei, finding your 2nd DigiEgg was awesome too." "I know. I can't wait until tomorrow!" "We all better be getting home now. said T.K. "My mom hates it when I'm late." The others nodded in agreement and headed off for each of their separate domiciles. --------------------------------------------------------- Myoty/Henrik took a deep breath and rang the doorbell to the apartment. "You're finally here! said a smiling woman at the door. "your bags all arrived from Germany and are in the guest bedroom. Feel free to make yourself at home there." ---------------------------------------------------------- T.K. and Kari stopped before the door of the apartment build. "T.K., about what you said after we went to the DigiWorld alone..." "I really meant it." Kari smiled. "Alright then, you'd better get back home." And the two parted ways, Kari taking Gatomon and Perimon with her. ---------------------------------------------------------- Neat and meticulous, Myoty set up his bedroom and looked around at all his possessions. He allowed himself a faint smile, thinking that he was going to like this human stuff. Just then, T.K.'s mother called to him. "Could you come here for a minute? I want you to meet my son!" Ah, but I already have, in so many ways.... He thought to himself. ---------------------------------------------------------- "T.K., I have a surprise for you." "Yeah, Mom?" "We've taken on an exchange student from Germany named Henrik!" "What..?!!" "I want you to meet him. Here he comes now." And T.K. saw facing him the one sight he thought he'd never see again.. ---------------------------------------------------------- Myotismon smiled at T.K. He had to. He couldn't suspect or that would ruin a lot of plans... T.K., meanwhile, was reeling. This kid looked like Myotismon. Everything. From the stray strands of hair in his face to his teeth. But how? "Hi, it's nice to meet you, T.K." said Henrik, breaking the silence. T.K.'s mom smiled. "I know you two will be great friends. Remember T.K., you have to take him to the school tomorrow to get him registered in his classes. He's in your grade, so you can introduce him to everyone. Meanwhile, I need to get dinner started." "May I help you?" said Henrik. ----------------------------------------------------------- T.K. dialed the Kamiya house as fast as he could and got Tai and his sister on the extension. he poured out the whole tale to them very quickly. "And so he's like really helpful and neat and stuff! But he keeps reminding me of evil! What's going on here?" "I don't know," said Tai, "But you, Kari, and Davis had better keep an eye on him since he's in your grade." T.K. hung up and just sat for awhile, puzzled about what all this meant. Was it just coincidence that this kid showed up just when Gotsumon said that Myotismon had returned?----------------------------------------------------------- Myoty went up to his room after dinner was finished. It wasn't blood, but t had been good...the thought suddenly jolted him. What if he was still vampiric enough that he needed to hunt? Only time would tell, and it was getting dark fast... In the meantime, he decided to look at his possessions and see what kind of person he supposedly was. He's only opened up the first case when he found an intriguing object. A violin case, with the instrument and music inside. Could he play? Only one way to know for sure. He lifted it, poised it below his chin... ----------------------------------------------------------- T.K. was still sitting, dumbfounded, when he heard the music of 'Peer Gynt' coming out of the room next door. "He must have a CD player" said T.K. and went over to Henrik's room. What he saw, however, was his mother standing at the doorway too, applauding as Henrik finished the piece 'Morning Sweet.' "You play so wonderfully!" she exclaimed, a bright smile on her face. "I hope you can play your other instruments as well! Wasn't that just beautiful, T.K.?" "Yeah, just great."----------------------------------------------------------- Myotismon was quite amazed. He was discovering talents right and left, and he was sure that more would appear on the morrow. He's already found out that he could play seven instruments, speak twelve languages with fluency, and was a chess master, swiftly working his way up to grand master. Why he was so good, he didn't know. What he did realize was that it was getting dark. For now, he'd go to bed. But then night would come and bring out the monster in him.......----------------------------------------------------------- "That Henrik is just wonderful. He helped me with everything tonight, keeps his room neat as a pin, and did you hear him play!" "Yeah, he's good alright." said T.K. But to himself, he thought, maybe too good to be true. ----------------------------------------------------------- Henrik stated preparing for the night. However, as he got ready, he noticed yet another something that he'd overlooked. His crest was hanging around his neck and his DigiVice was in his pocket. How strange. Fortunately, they were there, for he would need them in only a few short hours. ---------------------------------------------------------- Myotismon waited until the hour was late. T.K. and his mom were asleep. In fact, the whole complex was silent. It was time. He silently got out of bed and left his room. he made his way out into the hall. Under his arm was yet another stroke of good luck; it seemed that in the real world, he owned a laptop and didn't need Izzy's. he climbed up to the roof with his possessions and looked up into the sky. The night was beautiful from up here; the stars had never shone so brightly. But, below, in the streets, fog, thick and black, was rolling in. He booted up. The gateway screen appeared, and, without hesitation, he lifted his DigiVice up to it.---------------------------------------------------------- Gatomon slept restlessly that night. She knew that she was safe here, near Kari. However, she just couldn't shake the nightmare...always those 'eyes' and her punishment of crimson lightening. She woke up in a cold sweat, hands burning from pain that wasn't there. ----------------------------------------------------------- Myoty was in the DigiWorld again. However, to his surprise, he was still human! How could this be? Was he totally human now? Could he never become a Digimon again?Then he saw his DigiVice blinking and felt his crest burn... ----------------------------------------------------------- DemiDevimon felt slightly relieved that his master hadn't returned for over a day now. he knew what punishment he'd get once Myotismon found out that the DigiDestined had been in the castle and that he'd let three prisoners escape. ----------------------------------------------------------- Henrik held up the Device. And he began to change...but it wasn't a DigiVolve... ----------------------------------------------------------- Gatomon paced for a bit. As she did, she saw that Perimon, too, was stirring in his sleep...----------------------------------------------------------- Henrik....DigiShift TOOOOOOO..... Akramon! So. He was back. Now it was time to regain the power and abilities that he had lost. Time to gain even more with the power of the crest. However, just as he left the trees around him rustled... ----------------------------------------------------------- Gatomon crept over to Perimon. Then, for the first time, she noticed that, near where he slept, a light was glowing and in that light was a new DigiVice...Could it be that he was another DigiDestinedMon?... -----------------------------------------------------------
