Love's True Destiny

Part 9

"Ken, where are we going?" questioned Stingmon, apprehensively.

"We're going to the last place Devimon was seen. The place where I first saw him."

"How do we know he's still there? The hole closed up"

"I thought maybe we should cross that bridge when we got to it."

As Ken continued to voice his plan to Stingmon another digimon crept up quietly behind them. All of his attention absorbed by Ken's ideas, Stingmon failed to sense the creature until it was too late.

It lurked up behind the pair and cried, "Boo!"

Both, digidestined and digimon, leapt back at the sound of the voice and got ready to fight. Behind them stood a small digimon grinning mischievously, not at all concerned about the result of his actions. He was about the same height as Veemon, with blue‑black skin, white around his face and a smiley face on his stomach. He wore a red bandanna on his neck and a pair of red gloves.

"Who are you?" asked Ken abruptly.

"You mean you haven't heard of me yet? I'm going to have to have a talk with my publicists! Apparently someone has been slacking off. Well anyway, this is your lucky day! I'm Impmon. A rookie level digimon. I love to play tricks on people all the time. I may look cute but my attacks Night of Fire and Summon will leave you begging for mercy."

"Ok so what do you want with us?" questioned Stingmon.

"Well I heard you guys were trying to find ways to stop Mephistopheles and I may know something that will help."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I assume you know that you are not the first generation of Digidestined." assumed Mephistopheles.

"Of course. We‑" started Sora before she noticed Mephistopheles frowning at her. "Sorry."

"Now as I was saying, you know they defeated their opponents in the Digiworld and restored peace. You know, the usual. Well there is another story no one has heard. It is the story of my battle with them. The tale of their final battle."

"Our meeting that day was fate. I had fought a hard battle, which resulted in severe injury for me and death for my challenger. I knew I would die if I did not find a way to heal my injuries that is when I met her. She was unlike any other person I had met. Her eyes shone like a glittering amethyst and her hair was blacker than a Devimon's wings. Although she herself was lost and hurt she cared for me. She sat by my side for days until I recovered enough to care for myself. In return I led her to her friends' camp and promised her I would always be near, to repay my debt, should the opportunity ever arise."

"I never did get the chance. While she was busy helping others, along with her friends, I was abused and challenged by various digimon and grew strong. Then everything changed. I met her friends, or at least half of them. They had split into two groups and were on a search for their crests. Those that would later claim the crests called courage, friendship, hope and reliability destroyed the only one I had left. My younger sister had digivolved only weeks before she met them. She was a little misguided and I had planned to return to her immediately after I digivolved, to help my elder brother raise her. But when I returned, she was beyond my help. My brother had perished of a virus, shortly after she had digivolved, and she had let the evil in the digiworld influence her. The ones known as Courage, Friendship, Hope, and Reliability had found her hours before I arrived. They discovered her protecting two crests that our friends, the Angemon, had left in our care, until they returned from a journey to their shrine or until the digidestined came to claim them. Assuming the worst about my sister, who refused to give up the crests and had developed the dark coloring of a fallen angel because of the evil poisoning her, they attacked. Lady Devimon stood no chance. She had no experience battling in her new form and none of her brothers were there to protect her. By the time I found her all she could manage to tell me was who was responsible for the destruction. She was damaged so badly that she was not reconfigured until decades later. Then your friends destroyed her. But, I am starting to deter from the topic. When I learned who caused my sister such pain, I made a vow to her. I swore to avenge her death even if it resulted in my own. Funny to think I was watching the young girl for years, yet I never knew she was one of them. When I met the Digidestined on the battlefield for the first time I retreated before the battle even began. Not once in all those years had I thought that she would be my enemy. Nevertheless, I had made a vow to my sister and I was determined to keep it. I would avenge her death with the death of the digidestined, except for that girl. I would repay my debt to her by leaving her with her life. When we met on the field of battle the second time I did not hesitate. I attacked and battled all of them, except her and her digimon. She remembered me and refused to let her companion engage in battle with me. However, the bird was rather persistent. She cared too much for her fellow digimon and her friends to sit by and let them fight alone. I defeated the digimon easily enough but the bird unexpectedly digivolved. Apparently the girl cared for her friends too much to sit by as well. A fierce war raged between that bird and I. The rage at the Digidestined that lived within me increased with every blow and shortly after it peaked, I digivolved. I was in my mega form when I digvolved and became what I am now. I was one of the purest beings of light at the beginning, but the Digidestined poisoned my heart with hate and made me a creature of the darkness, with the name of the Devil. I knew the moment I felt the change that the battle was won if her digimon did not digivolve as well. The other digidestined did not stand the smallest chance. They were already too weak from my first attack. Then she did digivolve. That wretched digimon, Indaramon digivolved to Zhuqiaomon, who then did the impossible, she evolved to her supreme form, or Suzaku. But I knew I couldn't give her the chance to become offensive. I attacked while she was still in shock. It worked for a while before she started meeting each of my attacks with one of her own. As the battle progressed we got increasingly exhausted. That is when our attacks collided at the wrong angle and ricocheted into that lovely young girl. It would have been a miracle if she survived the force of our combined attacks. Unexpectedly Suzaku intercepted the path of the attack. It hit her with and incredible amount of force and the girl, who I promised to spare, was so grieved about Suzaku's state that she rushed forward to embrace the digimon, which resulted with her burning with the digimon. Both were gone. Even though I was full of rage toward the digidestined I discovered at that moment that as I watched that girl I fell for her. However, I did not have time for mourning at that time. Instead I fulfilled my vow to my sister and destroyed the remaining digidestined and their digimon. I later learned that one of the crests taken from our care, the crest of Love, belonged to her, that girl." Suddenly Mephistopheles looked up and said, "You should be disgusted now. If that helps you in battle, use it. You will need any help you can get while battling a digimon like me, who lost his honor before he could even acknowledge it."

"That was a‑" started Sora but she did not get to complete the opinion.

"Save it. I do not need pity. I only returned to correct my mistakes and keep both my promises. Perhaps then I will be able to reclaim my honor, love, and pure heart." interrupted Mephistopheles, moving back into the darkness.

"Well now what am I supposed to do, Bi?"

"Now we fight Sora. There isn't anything else we can do. If he takes your body everyone else is as good as dead."

"You're right. I just wish‑no wait. I lied. Last time I made a wish it came true."

"I will return shortly, Mistress of Love." came his voice in the darkness. "Now that you know the cause of the battle you will have an opportunity to determine its results."

"Tai! Wait up!" cried Matt to his friend.

"Hey Matt. Got practice?" asked Tai sullenly.

"Yea but I'm thinking about canceling, so I can spend some extra time with Sora and Joe at the hospital. Are you on your way there now or are you stopping by your house?"

"I'm on my way there now since we really don't know when Joe will get there and I don't want Sora to be alone. He may have a test or something, knowing Joe." Tai joked feebly.

"Yea. Well I guess I'll see you there then. I'm just going to tell the rest of the band I won't be able to make it for a few days." Said Matt, leaving hastily.

The two teens suspected the other cared too much and declared a silent war over Sora's heart.
