Chapter 1

In a forest far away from everything a lonely run down shack could be found. Disconnected to where he couldn't leave but at the same time connected so that the being could view all worlds and dimensions around them the dark king sets across the pale knight in another game of chess.

The dark king a Digimon of untold power curses under his breath at yet another lose but in the pale knight's eyes there is no triumph. There is nothing but the sense of duty no more or less in each game the two beings play against one another. The game that must always be played no matter how many time the pale knight won against the fallen Digimon.

The dark king must always lose in the end and the cycle must repeat itself for the rest of eternity with only small bits of time when the jailer must leave in-between matches to answer a call from his lord. There is nothing that could make the pale knight abandon his endless vigil over the imprisoned dark king. Nothing...nothing except for the most dire of catastrophes that would end worlds if he didn't intervene where his lord's chosen soldiers could not would make him leave the dark king alone. He refused to leave him again after the events that happened the last time he failed.

"His chosen children are always so full of heart." The king finally spoke his figure shrouded by the darkness of the chains binding him to the forest. "It always amazes me every time they win in the end no matter what challenges are placed in front of them." His hand was colder than ice when it took the knight's pawn placing it in the other Digimon's outstretched hand.

"And what of you dark king?" The knight countered taking his opponent's bishop. "I remember you always had a soft spot for troubled youths no matter how cruel or traitorous your methods were in the past to bring them to our world before they stopped you." The Mega level Digimon looked away from the king's gaze refusing to meet his eyes after reminding him of the children he once came to care for.

Being cut off from his territory was one thing but because of the fractured code his lord burdened him with the Mega setting across from him could never have another human champion. 'Yet because of his connection to the darker parts of humans he can still see the few that truly need his help.'

Even though the dark king still cherished each and every child that came to reside in any of the Digital Worlds in the past he no longer had the power to bring a child through the Dark Ocean anymore. With the code robbing the dark king of his power he couldn't afford to bring them to any version of the Digital World or the cost would probably end up killing him in the end.

'But isn't that a good thing.' They were few and far from perfect but each one that answered the dark king's call saw the imprisoned Digimon as perfection in their eyes and came to this forest trying to free the bound Mega sooner or later. Each child and their Digimon partners came to challenge him for the dark king's freedom since the time of the Mega's imprisonment only to die at the end of his blade. Their blood and data coated his once noble blade with each failure and it killed the pale knight a little each time even if he was only following orders.

"So tell me who out there in the multiverse managed to catch the dark king's interest." It was said as a joke even though they both knew by now it wasn't anything close. Any human child or teen that drew the Dark Ocean's currents needed to be watched and possibly dealt with should certain conditions escalate in any of the connecting Digital Worlds.

Seeing the anger that flashed across his face the pale knight knew the dark king hated him for even bringing the fallen champion's of the Dark Ocean up but still sighed before being forced to speak. "The first is a poor boy who had his very dream handed to him by your lord's interference in that world only for it to be ripped away." The chains binding him forced the Mega to tell the truth so through grit teeth he showed his warden each human whose soul called out to the Dark Ocean.

With a wave of his hand the world around them pulled itself apart letting the pale knight see one of the children who managed to catch the dark king's eye. Even if the humans couldn't see them he still enjoyed watching them from time to time like all of his lord's knights sometimes do but today the Mega hated that perk. "Takato Matsuki had his dream come true. The Digimon he drew and thought up came to life and they were happy for a few short days until the girl calling herself the Digimon Queen showed up forcing their Digimon to fight. In a one sided battle she easily overwhelmed the rookie Tamer killing Guilmon before he could stop Renamon or help his partner get away."

The pale knight watched on with his eyes glaring at the girl who mocked the crying teen on the ground begging for his partner to come back. That he had to beg while watching the Rookie's data getting absorbed into the nearby Renamon only added to the pale knight's hatred for one of his lord's chosen children.

He couldn't help but hate her as the red-head mocked the boy who held the broken Digivice close to his heart trying to keep it from falling apart even now while it turned back into fragments of data. "Takato called upon the Dark Ocean through his desperation to save the Digimon known as Guilmon and it's waters brought him to my attention even if I can no longer reach out into any of the Human Worlds."

As the fog of his pocket dimension slowly consumed the area around them the image changed to an even younger child scared out of his mind while wondering a forest lost and alone. "Guys! Please come back!" The young boy yelled tears building up in his eyes when nobody answered him during his frantic search for the others. "Please don't leave me here!" He pleaded to no one before suddenly tripping over a root and slamming into the dirt skinning his knee.

"Tommy Himi was left behind by the older chosen children who thought of the child as nothing more than a burden they'd have to constantly protect and watch over." Even as the dark king spoke the fog once again appeared slowly consuming the area around them leaving the child truly alone even if Tommy couldn't see them.

"Don't leave me alone." Tommy begged curled up near the tree crying at the thought of being unwanted by the others. "I don't want to be alone."

"He was brought to my attention like all the others before him when whispers of the solitude forced upon young Tommy reached my ears." After explaining about the young Digidestined who the pale knight couldn't help but feel a small amount of pity the scene changed once more into one of the worlds he never watched over or looked in on because of their lack in technology.

Only this time it was a young girl around the age of the first boy the imprisoned Mega showed him minutes ago. "Hinata Hyuga." The dark king paused his hand reaching out to touch the girl who never knew a parent's love or care only for when the chains pinning his body to the cursed forest to glow. They barely kept him from breaching the barrier between worlds unless he overloaded them for a few brief seconds and held him back from comforting Hinata while the pale knight was present. "A young girl of noble birth. She is the ideal heir to her families clan; kind, loyal and willing to help any who would need it. She cares about everyone within her family and even those outside of it. Such a girl would make a perfect leader one day if only they'd give her a chance."

Watching the young girl with sad almost dead eyes the pale knight couldn't help but agree as they watched an older human possibly her father berating every little thing she did earlier. "But beneath all those good qualities there is simply a lonely girl. Her father and the elders of the Hyuga clan are more concerned about status and image for the man to care about Hinata as a parent should so they bully her into a more suitable role."

The knight watched on as the girl's mask crumbled. He refused to look away when she fell to her knees in the clan's training ground after the man walked off and griped his blade tighter listening to her crying. "She only wants her father's love and pushes herself further than any child should at the villages academy hoping to gain it one day. The young Hyuga has resigned herself to a life of no free will just for the smallest chance he might one day be proud of her."

'Sacrifice.' The pale knight thought already knowing which aspect of her soul drew the Dark Ocean's waters with just a gaze. 'Desperation, solitude and sacrifice. Three of the darker aspects of a human's soul but not the seven I was told to keep an eye open for.' And at that moment, the pale knight heard thunder off in the distance. Thunder and the voice of his lord calling him that causes him to worry over such an order to leave.

"My lord calls for me." Standing up the chess set vanished as the Mega made to leave. "Till next time dark king."

"Till next time Craniamon." The now named Mega paused mid-step looking back into the darkness of the shack into the piercing eyes of the dark king. A few tense seconds passed between them before Craniamon muttered something under his breath before leaving to report in.

"Ha." It started off small but soon the Digimon's chuckles turned into crazed laughter after he was sure his warden left for the moment. "If only you had waited a few more seconds before leaving pale knight then I would have been forced by these cursed chains to reveal the others to you." The imprisoned Mega said through his crazed laughter while small ripples appeared in the air around him draining what little power he had left.

With a wince of pain he ripped a handful of pitch black feathers from his back before whispering to them. "Bring my children to their new home." With each word spoken the feathers glowed an ominous dark purple accepting the growing madness from their owner.

"Spread out across the multiverse and find those that will answer the call of the Dark Ocean." Tossing them into the ripples before they closed a tired almost resigned smile spread across the Mega's face before he collapsed from exhaustion. It might actually kill him after using the little power he had saved up for this finally plan but the thought still had him smiling knowing it all happened while under his warden's watchful gaze. "Bring me my champions to fight for the darkness."

'You made one fatal mistake in binding me to this forest Sovereigns. You stole what was mine and your kingdoms will burn for it.' With that single thought he succumbed to the darkness of sleep while all across the multiverse the dark king's cursed feathers spread out finding the Mega's newest children.

Takato Matsuki looked up trying to wipe the tears from his eyes while all around him a strange fog appeared out of nowhere. "W-what now!? I don't even have Guilmon anymore so leave me alone!" His shout went unanswered as a black feather fell from the sky landing a few feet in front of him.

'Do you want your partner back?' A strange calming voice asked while Takato slowly got more nauseous with each passing second trapped within the strange fog.

"Yes." He answered through the tears willing to give up anything to have Guilmon back by his side. Within seconds the nausea got worse, his head began swimming and his vision blurred before Takato collapsed. Falling to his side the broken fragments of Guilmon's Digivice clutched close to his heart the teen vanished in a swirling black ripple that appeared from where the feather rested in the dirt.

It was only a minute at most before the strange fog vanished but the teenager was gone from his dimension just as quickly as the fog broke apart into nothing. 'Welcome home my newest Greed. I'll never let you fall into such desperation again.'

42-42-564

'Do you want to be with those who will never leave you behind child?' A strange calming voice asked causing Tommy Himi to snap his head up to find a fog suddenly appeared without him realizing it.

"Y-yes." Tommy stuttered out trying to look through the fog to find the person or maybe Digimon speaking to him. "Please, I don't care who you are or what you want but don't leave me all alone like they did!" With his desperate plea for friends the young boy's head began swimming and Tommy's vision blurred before he fell unconscious vanishing into a swirling black ripple that appeared underneath him.

'I'll never leave you alone my newest Sloth. You'll never have to face such solitude among my other children.' The black feather on the ground where the young boy once stood broke apart into data after using up what little power it had left.

42-42-564

'Do you want the freedom to make your own choices child?' Hinata looked up spotting a black feather falling from the sky that landed a few feet in front of her.

"I-I've a-always wanted t-that." The shinobi in training answered quickly putting up her guard as soon as the strange fog built up surrounding the clan's private training grounds. "B-but my f-father wouldn't allow it because I'd bring s-shame to his clan."

'But I can take you away from all of that.' Even as the voice spoke tempting her with every word Hinata's vision was slowly blurring. 'I can give you friends and family that would love to have a daughter like you.'

With each word spoken Hinata's eyes lost more and more focus while she reached out trying to grab the black feather. She never heard her father shouting for the guards while running into the fog. "Take me somewhere I can be happy. Take me to where I'm needed."

'Gladly my Lust. You'll never have to sacrifice so much for those who will never love you again.' With the dark king's whispered promise she fell unconscious falling forward into a swirling black ripple that appeared where the feather once was.

In a private room in one of Shibuya's largest Hospitals the only sound that could be heard is that of a heart monitor's steady beat. It along with a dozen different devices hooked up to the patient let the nurses down the hall know the teenager known as Koichi Kimura still lived after his lengthy surgery only hours ago.

'Poor child almost swallowed by a puppets schemes.' A voice whispered in the comatose teen's ear as a black feather fluttered in through the open window. 'I'll watch over you though my Envy even if none of my children can see me.'

Vanishing in a swirling black ripple the nurses rushed in seconds later after his machines flat lined to find an empty room.

42-42-564

"I won't die like this." The dying form of Naruto Uzumaki swore while clawing himself out of the lake the last loyal Uchiha left him to drown in after running away. "I don't care if the world hates me I won't die in some gutter like a damn dog."

Every labored breath he took almost drove him to tears which stopped falling years ago. Every movement his muscles made had his body feeling like someone set him on fire. His clothes were falling apart and he wanted nothing more than to scream out curses at the Kamis above but Naruto wouldn't to determined on living past the day to focus on anything else besides staying conscious.

"Those damn eyes." The injured teen muttered under his breath when he finally pulled himself out of the water. "They've always been like that and its only gotten worse than before with jiji not around to stop them anymore." Falling onto his back Naruto looked up at the moon trying his hardest to stay awake even though he already lost a lot of blood fighting Sasuke. "No matter what I do or how hard I try they've all got that same look of hatred in their eyes. It's like those idiots think they can actually break me." He laughed a broken hollow laugh that sent the nearby animals running away in fear.

"Everybody in that hell hole of a village thinks they're so much better than me! I can't stand it anymore!" Reaching a hand forward Naruto tried grasping the moon only to catch a black feather that landed in between his fingers. "Civilian, shinobi, man, woman, child or elder, they all look at me like I'm lower than the trash on the street and I hate all of them for it." Feeling his rage reaching a boiling point Naruto never noticed the Kyuubi's desperate plea to calm down or the feather clutched between his bloody fingers glowing a dark ominous purple. "Do you hear me Kamis, my name is Naruto Uzumaki and one day I will be a Kage stronger than everyone else! I don't care how I have to do it or who gets in my way anymore but I'll rip the world apart if I have to. I'll get their respect even if it's through nothing but fear!"

'Such willpower for a child so young. You truly do your ancestors proud thinking of such a fitting destruction they all deserve for leaving you to die all alone like this.' The voice speaking to him wasn't the Kyuubi but Naruto didn't care enough to block it out even as his vision started to fade. Listening to the man's words the teen's eyes turned crimson before glazing over from blood loss or something else the teen didn't know.

"That's right, they left me to die. They left me to die and I'll kill them all for betraying me like this. I'll wipe that village off the face of the planet for crossing an Uzumaki!" Naruto growled under his breath trying to ignore his splitting headache while the black feather started to pulse from the reddish chakra it continued to absorb from him.

Blocking out the Bijuu screaming at him to run away and the nauseous feeling in the pit of his stomach the teenager focused on the feeling of the voice whispering promises to him. Hopefully it was his father's voice or if not a complete stranger would do since he was dying but as a strange fog slowly appeared around them Naruto kept his eyes focused on the feeling of acceptance. 'Come home to my kingdom child. By my champion and gain the respect you deserve. Will you become my Demon Lord for me my Wrath?'

"Yes." Even with the fog clouding his vision and thoughts Naruto reached out his hand capturing the moon seconds before a swirling black ripple swallowed him whole. 'I'll be more than your champion though.'

'Though I'll have to make sure none of you betray me like the others did in the past but it should be fun having you around.'

42-42-564 {Hours Later}

"-y." "-ey." "Hey are you okay." Slowly opening his eyes only to wince at the strange headache killing him Naruto stared up into the red eyes of the teen who was pressing an ice pack to his own forehead. He looked around fourteen with light slightly tanned skin, light brown hair and red eyes that reminded him of a setting sun. The teen also had on a plain white shirt and dark grey shorts that had the pants legs rolled up along with a pair of cracked goggles over his forehead.

'Where the hell am I?' Naruto thought while looking around. They were inside a run down looking building that's seen better days and it was raining outside judging by the thunder but the teen couldn't remember how he ended up here. He couldn't remember anything besides his name and that scared him more than anything else.

"Do you remember anything because nobody else has a clue about where we are or how we got here?" The brown-haired teen ask while handing him a second ice pack for the pounding feeling going on inside his skull.

"I-." Naruto paused trying to think of something, anything at all but nothing came to mind. "-I remember my name is Naruto Uzumaki but everything else is just gone." He admitted trying not to freak out over the fact his memories weren't there anymore.

"Takato Matsuki and the same thing happened to the rest of the group that already woke up before us." Takato informed him with a slight grin trying to reassure the newest member of their group everything would be okay while his eyes glowed crimson when a bolt of lightning illuminated the room. "Though most of us were kind of hoping you knew something Naruto." Rolling his shoulder his gaze travelled up the other teen's shirtless frame when he yawned enjoying the view despite the situation they were in. "You know since that strange-looking device over there was in your pocket when Koichi found you."

Pointing to the small table nearby Naruto saw a dark orange rectangular device that had a black circle in the center and a screen above it while the top part looked like a microphone. "I don't have a clue what that is." 'But if Takato is telling the truth and nobody can remember anything then it might be mine.'

"I figured as much." Another voice spoke up as the door to the building opened and another teen around their ages walked in soaking wet from the heavy rain coming down outside. With pale skin that looked oddly fitting on him, short black hair parted to the sides of his face, and dark blue eyes the teen trying to dry himself off looked almost as good as Takato did to Naruto.

"None of the others remember anything other than their names but all of us woke up in the same general area with nothing other than an empty feeling to work with and the clothes on are backs that look more like rags than anything else" The black haired teen told them before walking over towards the fire-place to warm up.

"My names Koichi Kimura by the way and I'm the one who found yo-." A loud terror filled scream cut him off coming from somewhere outside.

"That sounds like Hinata!" As soon as he finished saying that the three of them were out the door running towards what looked like the ruins of a castle.

"Hinata! Tommy! Where are you guys!?" Koichi and Takato yelled as they ran further into the ruins following where the scream came from. Naruto felt a screaming pain in the back of his head at the first name but it quickly faded as he ran trying to keep the other two in sight.

"O-over here." The scared voice of a girl stuttered out when they neared a large set of double doors that led into what looked like a meeting room. Rushing inside the three teens were greeted to the sight of Hinata placing herself between a strange hooded figure and the youngest of their group Tommy.

Draped in dark red robes that covered his face the thing didn't look like much. It was the two orbs orbiting around him and the large book he stood on that set off alarm bells in all of their heads.

"Ah, so this is the other three Demon Lords chosen by the former dark king." The figure spoke turning his head slightly to face the whole group. 'Though Gluttony and Pride are still missing judging by the Crest each of them carry.' With that though running through his head he looked the five of them over feeling the Crest of Greed on Takato's right shoulder, the Crest of Sloth on the back of Tommy's neck, and the Crest of Lust on Hinata's palm. While the smartest out of the group Koichi had the Crest of Envy over his heart and Naruto who had the strongest will to live out of the five scared children had the Crest of Wrath burnt into his right eye. The five young human's had dull almost soulless eyes from having everything taken from them and it only made it that much easier to mold them into the next set of Demon Lords for the coming battles they were needed to fight. 'Well they will be once the other two are found.'

"What are you, where the hell are we and why can't any of us remember anything!? Naruto asked even though the being in front of them scared him before an idea hits him since the other two hiding behind them seemed to have found someone. "Also what's this thing?" Pulling the item out of his pocket he showed the being the strange device Takato said they found on him.

"My name is Wisemon children, keeper of this Zone and the watcher over all the remaining young Digimon that still live in the village." The now named Wisemon informed them while all around the group they could see dozens of small Digimon coming out of hiding when they saw the device in Naruto's hand.

"Humans?" "Are you sure they're really humans?"

"Maybe they can save us from Bagra's thugs?"

"But didn't Wisemon call them the newest Demon Lords?"

"Yea there hasn't been anyone powerful enough to take one of the thrones in years." Whisper after whisper could be heard from the small Fresh and In-Training Digimon watching them from the shadows of the room. Hearing them whispering none of the five humans knew what was going on but the three oldest teens were trying to keep up a brave front never turning away from Wisemon who towered over everyone in the room.

"You can't remember anything because any human children pulled to the Village That Never Was located at the heart of the Dusk Zone come from situations where they make a deal with our lord in exchange for a new life. All of the children before you came from troubled homes or were near death and the dark king found wiping their memories would be safer in the long run instead of letting them live with the knowledge of whatever drove them here." Wisemon was laying it on thick but none of the Fresh and In-Training Digimon were around before the war started so they couldn't prove him wrong or call him out on some of the lies he told the humans.

"As for the item in your hands it is called Fusion Loader and it signifies you as a General able to oppose the ever expanding Bagra Army." With a small bow Wisemon spread his arm out wide causing the whole room to light up revealing a large table with seven thrones. "Welcome to your new home children." And while the younger Digimon cheered all around them at the prospect of having a leader to guide them Wisemon smirked already picturing the new Demon Lord's flag flying against a blood red sky.

'The dark king's army will return to wage war across the multiverse once again.'

Author's Notes -

And done. Hope everyone reading this likes the story so far.

Like I said in the beginning this idea is a challenge from Naruto namikaze uchiha who wanted to see a Naruto x Takato pairing. I had some trouble writing another Tamer story since I already had one going in that verse so I changed it to where they get pulled into the Digimon Fusion world.

They'll be fallen Digidestined pulled from the different worlds to take the place of the Seven Demon Lords. The last two are a secret but even if they carry that specific title it doesn't make Hinata into a slut or mean Tommy will be sleeping constantly when they need him. There's different ways each title could be applied but either way it goes they're going to be a different kind of evil. Kind of like Doom and Latveria. The guy is an evil dictator bit his nation prosperous under his rule.

The seven I picked are from the what ifs of FanFiction. What if Guilmon lost to Renamon. What if Hinata locked away everything that made her happy in order to please the Hyuga clan. What if Tommy was left behind because the older kids didn't want to babysit him thinking the younger kid nothing but a liability. And the two I'm keeping secret fall under that same what if scenario like the others though you'll probably already figured it out by the time they show up.

I'm not going to put the list like I did for the other two stories since it's basically building up an army to fight off the other factions and all the fusions used but I'll still show you their Rookie forms. All of which will be explained.

Naruto - Impmon

Takato - Guilmon

Koichi - BlackGabumon

Hinata - Tsukaimon

Tommy - Bearmon

? - Keramon

? - Falcomon

Even if they're going to be fallen heroes I hope you like the idea and leave me a review. Please leave a review if you liked the story because I don't really give it my all when I think nobody likes what we're doing. So like it, hate it, if the idea doesn't work then it'll join my failed pile.

Response - (Thanks for your reviews.)
