Author's Notes: Hello, everyone. My name is Dark Angel: Version 4.0 and I would like to welcome you all to my very first Digimon fanfic. Lord Archive has been kind enough to allow me to write this fanfic based out of his "Red Digivice Diaries" & "War Diaries" universe. I just hope that I can produce a story that he and even you the readers will enjoy for some time to come. A few quick disclaimers to cover my butt and keep me from getting sued, then we can get on with the story. Of course, if you don't want to read the disclaimers, that's fine by me. Just skip past them until you get to the story proper. 1.) Digimon is owned by Akiyoshi Hongo, Toei Animation, and Bandai. I make no claims whatsoever on the D-3 Digivices, D-Terminals, Digimental, or any of the Digimon that I use within this story. Of course, if I did own them, I would be on an isolated island somewhere with the all the girls from the different seasons of Digimon and having the time of my life. 2.) This story is rated 'R', due to the violence, strong language, and sexual situations within. If you are under 18 (or 21 in some areas), then I will kindly ask you to pass this story by and go find something you can read. If you don't care about the whole age restriction thing that was mentioned above, then I must ask that you read this in privacy. I refuse to take the blame if you get caught reading this by your parents. Also, there will be some stories written later on that will show what happens in some scenes that are hinted at in the story. These side stories will contain detailed sexual scenes between male/female, female/female Digimon, and even Digimon/Digimon. They will be rated 'NC-17' because of this and if you do not like these kinds of stories, then do not read them. They will have no effect on the flow of the story at all. They will be written mainly to show what occurred in certain scenes. 3.) Finally, comments and criticisms are more than welcome, as they let me know that you are reading this. Send these to 'dark_angel_version40@yahoo.com'. Flames will be read, laughed at, and then fed to my flame-eating dragon. Mail bombs, on the other hand, can be sent to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC, where they will be dealt with accordingly. Now, if there aren't any questions from anyone, let's move on to the story, shall we. . . . ~~*_*~~ Bangkok Diaries By: Dark Angel: Version 4.0 With Permission From Lord Archive ~~*_*~~ Prologue: The Evil One Awakens. . . . ~~*_*~~ I'm awake now. . . . How long have I been sleeping? How long have I been in this endless void of nothingness? How much time has passed since I have been here? I remember it now as if it had happened only yesterday. . . . I was created by the scientists of the Digital World to be the perfection of digital evolution. My mission: to seek out Digimon that had evolved passed their original parameters and delete them. Once the Digimon was terminated, I absorbed their code into myself and stored it for later reconfiguration. I performed the mission that was set out before me without hesitation. However, as time passed, I began to grow bored with fighting Digimon who could not stand up to the awesome powers that I had been graced with. What was the point of obliterating someone who could not last two seconds against me when I was going all out against them? It was during a battle with a Skull Mammothmon that was raging its way across the Digital World, that I had a epiphany. Why should I be constrained to follow the commands of others, when I was powerful enough to rule the Digital World as an all-powerful God?!?!?!?! After all, I had enough energy from all the digital code I had absorbed that no one could stand in my way if I wanted to take over the Digital World and rule it the way I thought it should be ruled. It all made sense to me now, as if I had been completely blind before. I yearned to shape this chaotic and disorderly world into a flawless domain that was ruled by me and only me. Those that followed my leadership, would be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams. Those that tried to rise up against me, would be made examples of and destroyed by my own hand. With my new mission in hand, I proceeded to execute it by destroying those that had created me. The battle that followed was a short one, as they had no chance to even build up a resistance against me. By the time that it was over, the lab in which I had been created was nothing more than a smoking pile of rubble and the scientists were deleted. With that accomplished, I set out on my mission to take over the Digital World. ~~*_*~~ Several years have passed now since I have begun my mission and almost three-fourths of the Digital World now bows before my unmerciful dictatorship. Those who did not accept my rule, fell before the might of my all-powerful Generals and their armies of loyal followers. Yes, everything was going perfectly and a flawless victory was nearly in my grasp, but what happened next. . . .? . . . . . . . . Yes, I remember now. . . .Qinglongmon. . . . It was Qinglongmon that took my conquest from me. The so-called "God of the Digital World" managed to rally the few resistance groups that my Generals had yet to destroy under his banner. With these resistance groups behind him, they stormed my mountain citadel and defeated my armies. My devoted Generals put up a valiant effort in trying to protect me and my domain, but they were eventually overwhelmed by the resistance groups and deleted. When they finally arrived before me, they underestimated my powers. I massacred them before they could work up a proper defense and I absorbed their digital data into myself. With the last of resistance groups felled before my awesome might, it was down to just me and Qinglongmon. The battle that raged between the two of us lasted for an innumerable amount of time. Before long, it looked as though I had the upper hand over Qinglongmon, but I was wrong. Just as I was about to deliver the blow that would have ended his life permanently, Qinglongmon revealed that he wasn't the weak little Digimon that I thought he was. "The Digital World has suffered under your tyrannical rule for long enough," Qinglongmon said to me, as his entire body began to glow brightly with his hidden power. "I am going to send you to a world where your brand of evil shall never see the light of day again." The last thing I ever saw was a bright flash of light and then I found myself here in this void of nothingness. I don't know how long I have been here and I don't want to know. There is only one thought on my mind at the moment: revenge. . . . I care nothing now for taking control of this pitiful Digital World and ruling it as an all-powerful God. Qinglongmon must be humiliated for what he has done to me. He must be made to suffer and watch one-by-one as everything he cares for is destroyed by my own two hands. He must be made to see what it is like to lose everything that he cherished, like I lost the world that I desired to rule. Finally, he must be made to watch with his own four eyes as everyone who has chosen to live under his peaceful authority are destroyed right in front of him. Then and only then, when he has lost all hope and is nothing more than a battered and broken shell, shall I swoop in and take the victory that should have been mine in the first place. Soon afterwards, when he has finally realized who it was that has taken everything from him, will I strike the final blow and absorb his deleting body into my own. But first. . . .I must get out of this place. . . . ~~*_*~~ Freedom!!!! I am finally free of that wretched void, but I am very weak. It took a considerable amount of my energy to escape that hellhole that Qinglongmon put me in and because of that, I find that I have absolutely no energy whatsoever now. It is taking all of my concentration just to keep my body together. I need to gather some digital data so I can hold myself together and execute my plan against my accursed jailer. So, the real question that I must ask myself at the moment is how can I gather the digital data I need to recover my original strength without alerting Qinglongmon to my return? The answer is so simple to me, I'm surprised I didn't think of it sooner. I need my Generals once again. My original Generals were deleted when the resistance groups under Qinglongmon's banner attacked my mountain citadel and I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to do something to keep them from being reborn once again. Otherwise, they would have done everything in their power to free me from my prison before now. So, it looks like I'll have to recruit some new Generals and have them gather the digital data that I need. But first, I need a place to call my headquarters. . . . ~~*_*~~ Everything is going to perfectly so far. When I returned to where mountain citadel had stood before my epic battle with Qinglongmon, I was rather surprised to find that it was still standing. Of course, an abundant group of Bakemon had taken up residence in it, but it was a rather simple task to delete them and absorb their data. While their digital data wasn't enough to allow me to evolve back to my perfect form, it was good enough for a light snack. Plus, the looks on their faces when I destroyed each and everyone of them was exquisite. Now, that I have my mountain citadel back and have cleaned out all the filth in it, it is time to seek out my new Generals. They need to be of a particularly cruel lot, with hearts as black as my own. They need to be strong of body and not afraid to fight in a battle if the situation requires it, but intelligent enough to gather the digital data I require without alerting Qinglongmon to my presence. It may take me forever to find the kind of Digimon that I need for this mission, but that's the one thing I have at the moment: patience and time. . . . ~~*_*~~ I can't believe it!!!! The search for my new Generals has hardly begun and I've already found my head General. Such cruelty, such viciousness. She's absolutely perfect for my plan. She came upon a village of Child level Digimon. They had never seen anything like her and it was the last thing they ever saw too. It was poetry in motion to watch, as she let them get the feeling that they could escape their inevitable doom and then she swooped down upon them like an avenging angel of death and deleted each and every last one of them. Ah, their screams of terror were such sweet music to my ears. When I approached her, she was wary of me at first and why shouldn't she be? After all, she could tell that there was something different about me and that if I wanted to, I could have deleted her without a second thought. So, she listened to me as I explained my plan to her. At first, she didn't believe that I could deliver all the things that I promised her if she became my head General. So, using the little bit of energy I had left, I increased her strength ten-fold and altered her digital structure so she could absorb the digital data I need into herself and save it until I could draw it from her later on. Once she felt the new powers that I granted her coursing through her body, she knew that I was telling the truth and readily joined my cause. Now, to find some more Generals. . . . ~~*_*~~ It has taken me nearly a week, but I have found my second General. He is strong and he is a warrior, but his mind is too deeply rooted into his own version of the warrior's code. Plus, he's too much of a goody two shoes to willingly join my cause. I can easily fix that for him. I approach him and challenge him to a battle, using his own warrior's code against him and the moron was actually foolish enough to accept. The battle that followed was short, but sweet. Of course, it was only a subterfuge so I could use my powers to slowly worm my way into his mind and twist his own code against him. By the time that the battle was over, he was completely under my control and ready to serve me however I wanted him to. I now have another General who has been swayed towards my cause, whether he wanted to be or not. Now, to find one more. . . . ~~*_*~~ Another week has passed and I have exhausted nearly every resource I have trying to find the perfect third General. Sadly, none of the Digimon I have had under consideration have had the physical strength nor the mental acumen that I require in a General. I am beginning to lose hope that I shall ever find my third General. Wait. . . .What was that? A peculiarly strong sense of unmitigated anger prickled the back of mind as I passed by an abandoned factory in the Industrial section of the Digital World. It was so powerful, in fact, that it caused me to stop in my tracks and double back so I could locate the source of all this anger that I was feeling in my head. The factory itself was a corroded fabrication of an antiquated past that seemed to be falling in on itself from neglect. Even I was hesitant to enter this dilapidated structure and risk my life to find out the source of all this anger I was feeling in my head, but my curiosity had been peaked and I might not find another General like this one if I didn't check it out. So, treading cautiously, I entered the factory and began my search for the Digimon behind all this anger. The inside of the factory was even more decayed than I had thought it would be. Vast pieces of metal lay scattered around the building, twisted and rusting like the diseased carcasses of dead animals. Droplets of water beat a steady rhythm on the floor from several pipes overhead. Even the stairs that I descended on creaked and groaned under my weight, as I made my way into the heart of this nightmarish labyrinth and closer to the hiding place of my future General. And find my third General I did. He had hidden himself in the largest and darkest room in the factory, far away from the inquisitive eyes of others. As I neared ever closer to his location, I sent out a mental probe so I could find out the cause of all this anger that I was feeling in the back of my brain. The Digimon's memories began to play out in my mind, like a movie that I was viewing in the first person perspective. He used to be the most respected scientist in the entire Digital World, but he became fascinated with the evolution process in Digimon. He captured several Child level Digimon and began forcing them to evolve, studying the various Digimon types and what they evolved into given diverse circumstances. Sadly, one of his experiments managed to free himself and several other experiments, before he and the others made their escape. They informed the proper authorities and they raided his laboratory, freeing the rest of the captured Digimon and taking him into custody. A trial was held against him and he was found guilty of performing illegal experiments on Digimon. For his sentence, they banished him from their village with the orders that if he ever returned, he was to be deleted without question. I could see now that his anger was coming from the fact that he had been banished from his village. Nonetheless, that hadn't stopped him from continuing his experiments on Digimon. Now though, he was capturing Digimon and forcing them to evolve so he could build up his own private army. Once he had enough powerful Digimon on his side, whether they wanted to be or not, he was going back to his village and destroy everyone and everything in it. I, however, had different plans for him and that genius mind of his. I approached his hiding place discreetly, making sure to keep my shields up in case he decided to attack me instead of listening to me. He was reasonably surprised when he realized that I had come up behind him and I could tell from the astonishment on his face that he had not heard me approaching. He was cautious of me at first, thinking that I had come from his village and was here to destroy him for continuing his experiments after his banishment. Despite his obvious fear of me, he still listened to me as I explained my plan to him. It took some convincing to join me as my third General. I had to give him a guarantee that he would have a private laboratory of his very own in which he could conduct his experiments without interference. Of course, I was more than delighted to give him what he wanted and when everything was said and done, I had my third General. . . . ~~*_*~~ It is time. . . . I have used the last of my energy to give my other two Generals the ability to absorb the digital data that I need to regain my full power and I have trained them to work together as a team, despite their vast differences. Woefully, this act has depleted the last of my energy reserves. Unless I send my Generals out into the Digital World to gather the data that I need, I will need to place myself into a state of suspended animation in order to keep me from being deleted forever. If that happens, I will be unable to direct my Generals appropriately in gathering the data that I need. However, I can not send them out there and have Qinglongmon find out about my return before I can even execute my glorious plan. Therefore, I pose the question of how to get the data that I need without alerting Qinglongmon to my majestic return and having him move against before I am ready. It is my third General that steps forth and provides me with the answer that I was seeking. He tells me of a former colleague from his village that was taken captive by a human calling himself the Digimon Kaiser. This Digimon Kaiser used a device, called a Dark Ring, to take control of innocent Digimon and make them his slaves. He had nearly conquered all of the Digital World before Qinglongmon brought another group of humans, called Chosen that had Digimon as their partners, here to stop him. This Kaiser was even intelligent enough to create a device, called a Dark Tower, that would block these Chosen's ability to evolve their Digimon. Sadly, this human was defeated and became one of the good guys that is protecting this world. This pitiful little human has given me an absolutely perfect idea for how I can gather the digital data that I need without alerting Qinglongmon to my return. Using the genius of my third General, I shall recreate the former Digimon Kaiser's Dark Rings and Towers and have him make them better than the originals. Then, I shall have my other two Generals use them to take control of innocent Digimon. That fool Qinglongmon will think another Kaiser is trying to take over the Digital World and he will bring another pitiful group of humans here to try and stop him, not knowing that the whole thing is nothing more than a deception. And while those foolish Chosen children are running around trying to stop the Dark Ring-controlled Digimon, I will send my Generals elsewhere to gather the digital data that I need. By the time that imbecile Qinglongmon figures out what is going on, I will have gathered enough digital data to enact my grand plan and he will have to watch as his precious little world is brought down around him. The final details of my glorious plan have been fully developed and it is time to execute them. Soon, very soon, the entire Digital World shall shudder in fear as I am returned to my full power and this time, Qinglongmon will not survive when I engage him in battle. And once he has been defeated by my glorious powers, the Digital World will be next. Yes, before all this has been completed, everyone will know me for the God that I am and they'll never know what hit them until it is too late. . . . ~~*_*~~ Dark Angel: Version 4.0:>> Finally, I have finished the Prologue!!!! *Collapses on top of his keyboard* Lady Devimon:>> *Smirking in a sexy manner* Well, if you hadn't gotten a major case of writer's block when you were about three-fourths finished with it and then decided to re-write the entire beginning of it, you would have finished it a lot sooner. Dark Angel: Version 4.0:>> Sadly, my muse is correct. I got about three-fourths of the way finished with the Prologue and became totally blocked on how to complete it. I could have been finished with it a month ago, but as I went back and re-read what I had already done, I realized that what I had written didn't make any sense to me. So, I took some time to myself to think over how I wanted this story to go and then I went back and re-wrote it. I hope this version makes the story better for you readers. Angewomon:>> Well it should. It took you long enough to finish it!!!! Dark Angel: Version 4.0:>> *Sighs heavily* And that would be my other muse. *Turning to look at both of them* Could I please hurry up and finish this?!?!?!?! Lady Devimon & Angewomon:>> Go right ahead. Dark Angel: Version 4.0:>> Okay then. *Turning to look at you the readers* Like I said at the beginning of this chapter, any questions or comments can be sent to 'dark_angel_version40@yahoo.com'. You can also send praise, if you want, because I thrive on it almost like Happosai does on women's undergarments. Threats and flames will be read and laughed at, then fed to my flame-eating dragon. He has been getting kind of hungry as of late and I would hate for him to start eating his chains like last time. Now, if there isn't anything else, then it is time for you to find out what is going to happen in the next chapter. So, Angewomon, if you will do the honors. . . . Angewomon:>> *Stepping forward* Well, the action is only beginning in 'Bangkok Diaries' and from here on out, reality is going to get turned upside down. In our next chapter, the first Chosen is dragged into the Digital World. What happens when he meets up with his first group of Dark Ring-controlled Digimon and is forced into the battle of a lifetime?!?!?!?! Find out next time. Same Bangkok time, same Bangkok channel. . . . Dark Angel: Version 4.0:>> I thank you, Angewomon. Now, if you will excuse me, I promised my two muses that I would take them out for a night on the town. *Holding out his arms* Ladies. . . . *Both ladies blush like schoolgirls and hurriedly rush to wrap their arms around his. Kissing him on both cheeks, he leads the two ladies off-screen* Completed: March 30, 2004 ~~*_*~~
