=================================================================================================
Matt lay doubled over on the cold floor of the skyscraper. He hadn't moved for about five minutes. Loyal Gabumon stood next to him, his great paw resting on Matt's back. For that matter no one else had moved, everything had a dreamlike quality to it - like they would wake up any moment and forget all about what just happened.
" If you knew then why didn't you tell me?," whispered Matt to Izzy.
" I-I didn't want to tell anyone because... because" started Izzy. Matt suddenly leapt up and faster than anyone else could react grabbed Izzy by the front of his shirt and dragged him to eye level!
" Spit it out!" snarled Matt as he glared into Izzy's face! Tai and Joe dashed forward and tried to pull Matt off of Izzy.
"I-I-I wasn't sure!" stuttered Izzy as he struggled for air. Matt shook Izzy violently as Tai grabbed Matt in a full nelson and tried to pull him back while Joe disengaged Matt's hands from Izzy's shirt. Finally Matt let go of Izzy sending both Izzy and Joe to the ground. Tai still had his hands locked together behind Matt's head.
" Matt settle down! This is not how to solve this!" said Tai with a grunt as Matt tried to shake him off. Finally Matt broke away from Tai and spun back to face him.
" Oh and your one to talk, when's the last time you ever thought about something before acting huh?" yelled Matt. "We have to go help him!" cried Matt. "One way or another I'm-!" A bright flash of light interrupted Matt as he held up his tag and crest. The cool blue light glowed brightly in the dark office. " My crest...It-Its...me." whispered Matt, his face bathed in the blue light.
"I'm the one, not T.k." Matt clenched his fist around his crest, blocking out the pale light.
" Matt I'm sorry! This is all my fault!" cried Izzy. As he hung his head. A slight sniffle interrupted Izzy as he tried to continue. " If I had only fully understood the legend none of this would have happened and T.k would still be here..." a sob cut him off.
" Izzy." called Matt quietly. Izzy look up a little and saw Matt's shoes in front of him. As he looked up further, he saw Matt's hand extended towards him. " If I'm going to save T.k I need your help." Izzy reached up and took Matt's hand, and he was pulled up to his feet.
"Matt I just want to..."
"Whatever now's not the time." With that Matt turned towards the elevator shaft. It was already at the top. Matt hammered at the buttons to recall the lift, and finally it began its slow descent.
" Gabumon, can you still fight?" asked Matt as he turned to his partner.
" Matt you know that I'll always be ready by your side!" Gabumon said, but his eyes still showed signs of pain. His leg was still wounded from the fight with Devimon.
" Matt we can't just..." started Tai.
" What you don't want to go help T.k? Fine!" snapped Matt as he turned away. " I'll go alone, you all can all stay behind if you want, but he's my brother and I'm going with him!" A tear dripped down Matt's face.
" That's not what I was going to say! I was saying that he'll need all the help he can get, and we're coming too!" said Tai. Matt wasn't the only one on the verge of tears, everyone else was upset. "But if we want to help T.k, we can't just rush in there and start fighting, in case you haven't noticed our Digimon aren't exactly ready for combat!" Tai gestured to the tired, limping and beaten group of Digimon. "We have to think of a plan!" before anyone else could answer, a low rumble shook the building.
" T.k!" cried Matt as he turned back to elevator. Suddenly the loud clatter of metal echoed down the elevator shaft. Matt stood frozen at the opening; a moment later Tai dived forward and pushed Matt out of the way just as the elevator tumbled past their floor, bits of metal and cable fell with it.
"No!" cried Matt as he shoved Tai off of him and crawled over to the now empty shaft. The elevator had fallen from the top floor and smashed into the basement far below. " T.k!" called Matt down the elevator shaft.
" Come on Matt, I'm sure he wasn't on there, I mean he had enough time to get off at the top right?" Tai said to Matt. " We have to have..." the words caught in his throat. "...Hope."
Matt looked up. "Your right, but he's not going to be safe for long!" Matt hopped back up.
"But then how do we get to the top?" asked Tai.
"There has to be another way!" cried Matt as his mind raced to think of a solution.
The elevator was dark and cold, but T.k and Patamon stood silently. Both of the tiny heroes were bathed in the light from T.k's crest. T.k held it out in front of him as the warm yellow glow created a dim circle around Patamon and him.
" So I guess this is It." said Patamon, breaking the silence of the elevator. "Its all up to us."
" Yeah I guess..." T.k trailed off.
" Are you sure you want to go through with this?" asked Patamon, his little blue eyes already misty. T.k looked down at his tiny friend and nodded.
" I have to, this is something very important and we have to be heroes and save everyone!" T.k tried to smile as best he could.
"But you know what this means... I mean what has to..." started Patamon.
" I know!" sobbed T.k as he plopped down next to his companion. " Patamon, I'm gonna miss you!" wailed T.k as he squeezed Patamon close. The two heroes we're both no more than kids, but still what was about to happen took more courage than anything.
" T.k I want to tell you that your the best friend that anyone could ever have!" sobbed Patamon as he tried to wrap his stubby arms around T.k. The elevator stopped with a bump. T.k and Patamon looked out onto the half finished floor of the Sky Scraper. A cold wind blew through the girders with a hollow whistle.
" Do you think Devimon's here?" whispered Patamon. An evil chuckle echoed from above.
" Well so this is the last line of defense? A little twerp and his scrawny digimon?" mocked Devimon from the shadows. T.k and Patamon stepped off the elevator. T.k huffed out his chest.
" That's right! And your going to lose again!" cried T.k as he scanned the girders for any signs of Devimon.
"Oh big words indeed!" smirked Devimon as he watched from the darkness. T.k turned to Patamon.
" Are you ready Patamon, this is it!"
" Right!" growled Patamon as he gritted his teeth and began to glow.
********************************
Authors note:
Now remember people, this is an older fic so Angemon is not that common!
********************************
Patamon Digi-volved into the mighty Angemon! Devimon flinched when he saw this, the memory of the last time he fought Angemon still burned within his dark mind.
" So Angemon, we meet again...for the last time!" snarled Devimon, still hidden within the shadows.
" Show your self Devimon, or must you remain hidden in the shadows?" said Angemon, his deep voice resonating. Angemon raised his staff as he peered through the darkness for any sign of movement. " T.k, stand back, this could get ugly." Angemon stepped in front of T.k to shield him from any harm. Devimon knew that Angemon wasn't a pushover, and even with Devimon's new powers Angemon still posed a great threat to him. But if he played his cards right, the battle could be won. Devimon cupped his hands in front of him and began to gather energy for an attack. He aimed his hands, not at Angemon but T.k!
" Darkness cannon!" cried Devimon as he launched a black ball of electricity at T.k!"
"Look out!" cried Angemon as he scooped T.k up in his arms and dove off to one side managing an awkward shoulder roll! The Ball smashed into the elevator, snapping the cables and sending it falling back down the shaft! " Are you all right?" asked Angemon. T.k nodded. Angemon had no time to reply, he was forced to leap away again to dodge another attack from Devimon!
" Keep still vermin!" snarled Devimon as he blasted a pile of crates to splinters!
" T.k, run now!" whispered Angemon as he set T.k down. Angemon stood back up and flew forward at Devimon swinging his staff like a mace! Devimon was forced to grab onto the end to try to wrestle it away from Angemon. The two Angels, one of Darkness, the other of light grappled like a pair of bears knocking boxes and tools aside like mere toys. T.k backed away from the battle, right now wasn't a good time to get between the two Digimon!
" It's hopeless!" sighed Joe as he slumped against a wall. " That was the only way up to the top of the building, I don't see any other way short of flying. And I don't think that anyone is capable of that right now." Joe surveyed the Digimon; anyone that could fly was far too tired to fly.
"There has to be away!" cried Matt as he slammed his fist into the wall. " I'm not giving up!" Matt walked aimlessly around the small office space, aside from having a few desks here and there, and some building supplies stacked against the wall, not much else was to be found in the dark and quiet floor.
" I'm sorry Matt. I don't know what to do right now.," said Tai as he quietly gazed out the long side window. Tai did a double take, " Hey wait, maybe we don't have to get to the top of this building!"
" What are you saying?" demanded Matt.
" Look!" said Tai as he pointed to a skywalk between the building they were in and one across the street. It was a few floors beneath them but they could make there way back down and get to the neighboring building.
" Lets go!" cried Matt as he sped back towards the stairwell.
Meanwhile, the battle on top of the building continued. Angemon landed on top of a stack of crates with a crash.
" Angemon! I am now more powerful than before, you won't be able to defeat me that easily!" mocked Devimon. Angemon staggered back up.
" Evil is never stronger, Light shall always chase away the shadows." stated Angemon as he raised his staff and lunged at Devimon striking him across the chest and sending him stumbling backward. Devimon lashed back with his clawed hands, raking across Angemon's chest leaving thin trails of scarlet in their wake! Moments later they we're once again locked in combat! Devimon spun Angemon sideways into stack of metal shelves sending them toppling over! Angemon shoved back, smacking Devimon into a support girder, the impact sounded like a bell being rung as it echoed through out the frame. T.k watched the battle from the relative safety behind a stack of metal girders; he flinched when Angemon knocked Devimon into the support beam. The fight was going well so far. Perhaps the legend was wrong?
Matt pounded up the stairwell of the neighboring building with the rest of the gang close behind. Sidestepping cleaning carts, the digi-destined made their way towards a service elevator that would lead to the roof. The only available access to the roof was yet another elevator. Matt hammered the call button and prayed that the power was on. With a cheerful ding, the button lit up as the elevator ascended to their floor. " Hold on T.k, we're coming." whispered Matt. Finally, the elevator doors slid open to reveal four more faces! Both sides leapt back in surprise before realizing just who was who.
" Ash!" sighed Tai, " Man am I glad to see you and- Hey who the heck are you?" said Tai as he pointed to Gary.
" Oh, he's-" started Ash in a not to pleasant voice.
" Gary, Gary Oak, at your service." interrupted Gary, sporting his usual smug expression. "I happened to overhear of your problem from Ashy-boy here. An thought you could use some real help." Gary emphasized on the 'real' part.
" Yeah whatever," snapped Misty as she shoved Gary aside so she could step out of the elevator.
" What's going on?" demanded Ash.
" Where's T.k?" added Misty.
" He went off on his own to try to fight Devimon! and if we don't do anything soon..." Tai didn't need to finish. A low rumble shook them from their trance, as the lights flickered and browned out.
" Well isn't this just great?" grumbled Gary in the darkness. " Anyone have a lighter?"
" I think I have one in my pack." said Brock as he rummaged through his backpack. There was a few sparks of light as Brock flicked the lighter. Finally it caught and managed to provide a small area of light. With a great deal of stumbling and cursing, our heroes managed to find a flight of stairs leading up to the rooftop.
Angemon staggered back to his feet, leaning on his golden staff for support. Red blood dribbled out from under his helmet and along his firm chin. His chest was a macabre pattern of red streaks from where Devimon's claws had struck.
" Still wanting more?" mocked Devimon as he hovered a few feet away. " By now you should have realized that you can not defeat me, Give up already! Accept your defeat!" Angemon's breath came in short rasps, but he still stood firm.
"Never!" spat Angemon as he raised his staff in his trembling hands.
"Angemon!" cried T.k when he saw his battered companion. "Angemon get out of there, your no match for him!"
Devimon dashed forward with a snarl as his clawed hands swiped out in an arc, digging into Angemon's shoulders, drawing more blood! With a cry of hatred Devimon flung Angemon backward into some scaffolding! With a crash the scaffolding tilted to one side and collapsed, pinning Angemon to the ground! Angemon struggled to free himself, but with his dwindling strength, could not! A dark shadow fell across Angemon's prone form as Devimon walked calmly over to his opponent.
" And so at long last it ends." sighed Devimon. " I must admit that you and your wretched band of humans have caused me a great deal of trouble, but it all ends now!" Devimon backhanded Angemon viciously across the side of his head, sending Angemon's helmet clattering off to one side." Heh, so this is the face of my enemy." smirked Devimon as he looked down at Angemon's unmasked face; his bruised, handsome features gazed back firmly at Devimon with deep blue eyes the same as his partners.
"Angemon no!" wailed T.k as he started to run over to Angemon's side. Devimon spun around at the sign of movement. With a swipe of his bony hand he struck T.k across the face knocking him to the ground. T.k ran his hand across his face and was shocked to find blood dripping from his nose. Fighting back stinging tears he rose again to his feet.
" Foolish whelp! now you will watch as your once mighty hero dies at my hand!"
Angemon strained to reach his staff, which had fallen a few feet away from his grasp.
"T.k no! stay back!" grunted Angemon as he tried to reach his staff.
"Your pitiful stick will not save you this time!" hissed Devimon as he kicked it away from Angemon's reach. "I have wasted enough time with you, time to die!" snarled Devimon as he drew back his clawed hand to finish off his rival once and for all! The staff slid to a rest near T.k, so without hesitation he grabbed Angemon's staff from where it had fallen and mindlessly charged at Devimon! Catching him off guard, T.k awkwardly swung the heavy staff and struck Devimon across his left thigh! The mere touch of Angemon's staff could cause an intense shock to any evil that came into contact with it, and once it hit Devimon the force was enough to stun him!
" Get away from him!" cried T.k as he pointed the staff like a spear at Devimon. " Leave him alone!" Devimon limped backward clutching his leg.
" So the little whelp shows courage? You would be better to drop that stick and run away!" sneered Devimon as he circled around T.k like a tiger and it's prey. T.k stepped boldly in front of Angemon while still keeping his eye on Devimon.
" Stay back, I-I Mean it!" T.k thrust the staff at Devimon.
" I can sense your fear.," growled Devimon with a grin. " Drop the stick and run while you still can."
" T.k," groaned Angemon, " T.k just get out now!" Angemon tried to pull himself out of the wreckage. T.k shot a look at the wounded Angemon and then back to Devimon. T.k stepped back to Angemon without taking his eyes off of Devimon, and knelt to try to help free him.
"Give it up!" sneered Devimon. Silently, Devimon reached backward and grabbed a length of chain. " Well, you had your chance!" snapped Devimon as he suddenly whipped the chain forward and wrapped it around the staff! With a tug he yanked the staff from T.k's hand and flung it off into the darkness. T.k grabbed at the bars pinning Angemon to the ground and frantically tried to free him!
" Well you managed to drag this on a little longer, but now it really ends!" hissed Devimon as he grabbed T.k around the middle, his big hand en-circling his entire body in a crushing grip! While carrying the trashing T.k Devimon calmly walked over to the edge of the building and held T.k out over the criss-crossing frame of the building, from this vantage point he had a clear path to the street far below!
" T.k!" cried Angemon as he strained at his bonds.
"Angemon help!" wailed poor T.k, as he looked down between the wire frame girders the street far below, cars seemed like ants at this height.
" Yes Angemon, take a good look at your friend, for it will be the last you will ever see of this wretched human!" The fire escape door on the adjoining rooftop flew open as Matt led the charge out into the night air. Matt instantly caught sight of Devimon on the other side- holding T.k over the edge!
"Takeru!" screamed Matt, his voice swallowed up in the wind. A moment later, Devimon looked into T.k's tear filled eyes and flashed him a fang filled grin.
"Farewell digi-destined!" with that Devimon slowly opened his hand, dropping T.k from sight!
With a short cry, T.k slipped out of Devimon's hand and dropped like a rock down through the girders, the winds whistling an insane tune in his ears as he plummeted past the steel bars! Suddenly the ground stopped rushing closer as T.k landed roughly in a carefully placed net! Takeru nearly fainted at his good luck; the net had stretched across the bottom of the girders effectively preventing the long drop.
"Hmm what was that?" asked one voice.
"Someone just landed in our net!" added another,
"Already?, that was fast!" squawked a third.
"You!" cried T.k in shock as he struggled to sit up in the shifting net.
Matt slumped back to the ground, it was over, he had lost. Tears ran down his face as Matt stared at the ground, mentally shattered.
"Takeru!" cried a voice from across the building, " Takeru!" Angemon roared with an anger fueled by anguish! With superhuman strength he heaved against the metal that pinned him to the ground, and slowly raised himself off the ground. "Devimon!" roared Angemon as a burst of energy knocked the remaining bars of metal aside! As Angemon rose to his feet, he began to glow, not the usual bright white, but a midnight blue!
" It's Angemon...the prophecy's come true!" whispered Izzy as Angemon rose into the air. Matt looked up from the ground to see Angemon digivolve! Angemon's white skin darkened into a deep gray ash color, his gloves grew into black metal gauntlets as his once snow-white wings darkened into wings blacker than coal! his bare chest was now covered by black mail, His staff rose back to his hands, the bright gold darkening into a staff made out of Black onyx,
************************
Authors note: Onyx is a black type of crystal, in case you didn't know.
************************
The top of the staff glowed as a curved sapphire blade grew out of it, turning the mighty staff into a scythe! The final touch to the new Angemon was a dark hood that covered his head completely, the end trailing down his back. The whole gang took a few cautious steps backward.
" Just what the hell is that?" demanded Gary as he backed away from the floating Angel. Izzy turned to his laptop, and a few seconds later brought up and image of the new Angemon.
" That's Fallen Angemon, He classifies as a 'Dark' type Digimon..." Izzy typed a bit more, trying to bring up more information. "...But there's not much known about him."
" Well he doesn't look to friendly!" said Ash with a gulp. The question was, would this Angel be the savior, or the destroyer?
=================================================================================================
Just what will happen in the next part? Who saved T.k, and what are their motives? Will Fallen Angemon be enough to defeat Devimon and end this nightmare? What will Matt do? When will I finish?!?!?!?! Find out on the next Digimon, Digital monst- err I mean in the next part.
To be continued in Digipoke~Chapter 17: Part 2- the duel of the Angels!!!

" Oh and your one to talk, when's the last time you ever thought about something before acting huh?" yelled Matt. "We have to go help him!" cried Matt. "One way or another I'm-!" A bright flash of light interrupted Matt as he held up his tag and crest. The cool blue light glowed brightly in the dark office. " My crest...It-Its...me." whispered Matt, his face bathed in the blue light.

"Whatever now's not the time." With that Matt turned towards the elevator shaft. It was already at the top. Matt hammered at the buttons to recall the lift, and finally it began its slow descent.
" Gabumon, can you still fight?" asked Matt as he turned to his partner.
" Matt you know that I'll always be ready by your side!" Gabumon said, but his eyes still showed signs of pain. His leg was still wounded from the fight with Devimon.
" Matt we can't just..." started Tai.
" What you don't want to go help T.k? Fine!" snapped Matt as he turned away. " I'll go alone, you all can all stay behind if you want, but he's my brother and I'm going with him!" A tear dripped down Matt's face.

" Right!" growled Patamon as he gritted his teeth and began to glow.

Devimon was forced to grab onto the end to try to wrestle it away from Angemon. The two Angels, one of Darkness, the other of light grappled like a pair of bears knocking boxes and tools aside like mere toys. T.k backed away from the battle, right now wasn't a good time to get between the two Digimon!
" It's hopeless!" sighed Joe as he slumped against a wall. " That was the only way up to the top of the building, I don't see any other way short of flying. And I don't think that anyone is capable of that right now." Joe surveyed the Digimon; anyone that could fly was far too tired to fly.
"There has to be away!" cried Matt as he slammed his fist into the wall. " I'm not giving up!" Matt walked aimlessly around the small office space, aside from having a few desks here and there, and some building supplies stacked against the wall, not much else was to be found in the dark and quiet floor.
" I'm sorry Matt. I don't know what to do right now.," said Tai as he quietly gazed out the long side window. Tai did a double take, " Hey wait, maybe we don't have to get to the top of this building!"
" What are you saying?" demanded Matt.
" Look!" said Tai as he pointed to a skywalk between the building they were in and one across the street. It was a few floors beneath them but they could make there way back down and get to the neighboring building.
" Lets go!" cried Matt as he sped back towards the stairwell.
Meanwhile, the battle on top of the building continued. Angemon landed on top of a stack of crates with a crash.
" Angemon! I am now more powerful than before, you won't be able to defeat me that easily!" mocked Devimon. Angemon staggered back up.
" Evil is never stronger, Light shall always chase away the shadows." stated Angemon as he raised his staff and lunged at Devimon striking him across the chest and sending him stumbling backward. Devimon lashed back with his clawed hands, raking across Angemon's chest leaving thin trails of scarlet in their wake! Moments later they we're once again locked in combat! Devimon spun Angemon sideways into stack of metal shelves sending them toppling over! Angemon shoved back, smacking Devimon into a support girder, the impact sounded like a bell being rung as it echoed through out the frame. T.k watched the battle from the relative safety behind a stack of metal girders; he flinched when Angemon knocked Devimon into the support beam. The fight was going well so far. Perhaps the legend was wrong?
Matt pounded up the stairwell of the neighboring building with the rest of the gang close behind. Sidestepping cleaning carts, the digi-destined made their way towards a service elevator that would lead to the roof. The only available access to the roof was yet another elevator. Matt hammered the call button and prayed that the power was on. With a cheerful ding, the button lit up as the elevator ascended to their floor. " Hold on T.k, we're coming." whispered Matt. Finally, the elevator doors slid open to reveal four more faces! Both sides leapt back in surprise before realizing just who was who.
" Ash!" sighed Tai, " Man am I glad to see you and- Hey who the heck are you?" said Tai as he pointed to Gary.
" Oh, he's-" started Ash in a not to pleasant voice.
" Gary, Gary Oak, at your service." interrupted Gary, sporting his usual smug expression. "I happened to overhear of your problem from Ashy-boy here. An thought you could use some real help." Gary emphasized on the 'real' part.
" Yeah whatever," snapped Misty as she shoved Gary aside so she could step out of the elevator.
" What's going on?" demanded Ash.
" Where's T.k?" added Misty.
" He went off on his own to try to fight Devimon! and if we don't do anything soon..." Tai didn't need to finish. A low rumble shook them from their trance, as the lights flickered and browned out.
" Well isn't this just great?" grumbled Gary in the darkness. " Anyone have a lighter?"
" I think I have one in my pack." said Brock as he rummaged through his backpack. There was a few sparks of light as Brock flicked the lighter. Finally it caught and managed to provide a small area of light. With a great deal of stumbling and cursing, our heroes managed to find a flight of stairs leading up to the rooftop.
Angemon staggered back to his feet, leaning on his golden staff for support. Red blood dribbled out from under his helmet and along his firm chin. His chest was a macabre pattern of red streaks from where Devimon's claws had struck.
" Still wanting more?" mocked Devimon as he hovered a few feet away. " By now you should have realized that you can not defeat me, Give up already! Accept your defeat!" Angemon's breath came in short rasps, but he still stood firm.
"Never!" spat Angemon as he raised his staff in his trembling hands.
"Angemon!" cried T.k when he saw his battered companion. "Angemon get out of there, your no match for him!"
Devimon dashed forward with a snarl as his clawed hands swiped out in an arc, digging into Angemon's shoulders, drawing more blood! With a cry of hatred Devimon flung Angemon backward into some scaffolding! With a crash the scaffolding tilted to one side and collapsed, pinning Angemon to the ground! Angemon struggled to free himself, but with his dwindling strength, could not! A dark shadow fell across Angemon's prone form as Devimon walked calmly over to his opponent.
" And so at long last it ends." sighed Devimon. " I must admit that you and your wretched band of humans have caused me a great deal of trouble, but it all ends now!" Devimon backhanded Angemon viciously across the side of his head, sending Angemon's helmet clattering off to one side." Heh, so this is the face of my enemy." smirked Devimon as he looked down at Angemon's unmasked face; his bruised, handsome features gazed back firmly at Devimon with deep blue eyes the same as his partners.
"Angemon no!" wailed T.k as he started to run over to Angemon's side. Devimon spun around at the sign of movement. With a swipe of his bony hand he struck T.k across the face knocking him to the ground. T.k ran his hand across his face and was shocked to find blood dripping from his nose. Fighting back stinging tears he rose again to his feet.
" Foolish whelp! now you will watch as your once mighty hero dies at my hand!"
Angemon strained to reach his staff, which had fallen a few feet away from his grasp.
"T.k no! stay back!" grunted Angemon as he tried to reach his staff.
"Your pitiful stick will not save you this time!" hissed Devimon as he kicked it away from Angemon's reach. "I have wasted enough time with you, time to die!" snarled Devimon as he drew back his clawed hand to finish off his rival once and for all! The staff slid to a rest near T.k, so without hesitation he grabbed Angemon's staff from where it had fallen and mindlessly charged at Devimon! Catching him off guard, T.k awkwardly swung the heavy staff and struck Devimon across his left thigh! The mere touch of Angemon's staff could cause an intense shock to any evil that came into contact with it, and once it hit Devimon the force was enough to stun him!
" Get away from him!" cried T.k as he pointed the staff like a spear at Devimon. " Leave him alone!" Devimon limped backward clutching his leg.
" So the little whelp shows courage? You would be better to drop that stick and run away!" sneered Devimon as he circled around T.k like a tiger and it's prey. T.k stepped boldly in front of Angemon while still keeping his eye on Devimon.
" Stay back, I-I Mean it!" T.k thrust the staff at Devimon.
" I can sense your fear.," growled Devimon with a grin. " Drop the stick and run while you still can."
" T.k," groaned Angemon, " T.k just get out now!" Angemon tried to pull himself out of the wreckage. T.k shot a look at the wounded Angemon and then back to Devimon. T.k stepped back to Angemon without taking his eyes off of Devimon, and knelt to try to help free him.
"Give it up!" sneered Devimon. Silently, Devimon reached backward and grabbed a length of chain. " Well, you had your chance!" snapped Devimon as he suddenly whipped the chain forward and wrapped it around the staff! With a tug he yanked the staff from T.k's hand and flung it off into the darkness. T.k grabbed at the bars pinning Angemon to the ground and frantically tried to free him!
" Well you managed to drag this on a little longer, but now it really ends!" hissed Devimon as he grabbed T.k around the middle, his big hand en-circling his entire body in a crushing grip! While carrying the trashing T.k Devimon calmly walked over to the edge of the building and held T.k out over the criss-crossing frame of the building, from this vantage point he had a clear path to the street far below!
" T.k!" cried Angemon as he strained at his bonds.
"Angemon help!" wailed poor T.k, as he looked down between the wire frame girders the street far below, cars seemed like ants at this height.
" Yes Angemon, take a good look at your friend, for it will be the last you will ever see of this wretched human!" The fire escape door on the adjoining rooftop flew open as Matt led the charge out into the night air. Matt instantly caught sight of Devimon on the other side- holding T.k over the edge!
"Takeru!" screamed Matt, his voice swallowed up in the wind. A moment later, Devimon looked into T.k's tear filled eyes and flashed him a fang filled grin.
"Farewell digi-destined!" with that Devimon slowly opened his hand, dropping T.k from sight!
With a short cry, T.k slipped out of Devimon's hand and dropped like a rock down through the girders, the winds whistling an insane tune in his ears as he plummeted past the steel bars! Suddenly the ground stopped rushing closer as T.k landed roughly in a carefully placed net! Takeru nearly fainted at his good luck; the net had stretched across the bottom of the girders effectively preventing the long drop.
"Hmm what was that?" asked one voice.
"Someone just landed in our net!" added another,
"Already?, that was fast!" squawked a third.
"You!" cried T.k in shock as he struggled to sit up in the shifting net.
Matt slumped back to the ground, it was over, he had lost. Tears ran down his face as Matt stared at the ground, mentally shattered.
"Takeru!" cried a voice from across the building, " Takeru!" Angemon roared with an anger fueled by anguish! With superhuman strength he heaved against the metal that pinned him to the ground, and slowly raised himself off the ground. "Devimon!" roared Angemon as a burst of energy knocked the remaining bars of metal aside! As Angemon rose to his feet, he began to glow, not the usual bright white, but a midnight blue!
" It's Angemon...the prophecy's come true!" whispered Izzy as Angemon rose into the air. Matt looked up from the ground to see Angemon digivolve! Angemon's white skin darkened into a deep gray ash color, his gloves grew into black metal gauntlets as his once snow-white wings darkened into wings blacker than coal! his bare chest was now covered by black mail, His staff rose back to his hands, the bright gold darkening into a staff made out of Black onyx,
************************
Authors note: Onyx is a black type of crystal, in case you didn't know.
************************
The top of the staff glowed as a curved sapphire blade grew out of it, turning the mighty staff into a scythe! The final touch to the new Angemon was a dark hood that covered his head completely, the end trailing down his back. The whole gang took a few cautious steps backward.
" Just what the hell is that?" demanded Gary as he backed away from the floating Angel. Izzy turned to his laptop, and a few seconds later brought up and image of the new Angemon.
" That's Fallen Angemon, He classifies as a 'Dark' type Digimon..." Izzy typed a bit more, trying to bring up more information. "...But there's not much known about him."
" Well he doesn't look to friendly!" said Ash with a gulp. The question was, would this Angel be the savior, or the destroyer?
=================================================================================================
