CHILD OF SHADOWS MINI SERIES PART 1

Chapter 51

Acts of Vengeance


4 years ago…

A child sat by himself in a cabin. He was always a loner, preferring computers to people. His parents had sent him to this camp in hopes of him becoming more social. Of course, they weren't really his parents. He pretended he didn't hear that conversation, pretended he heard wrong, but deep down he knew that the people he called Mom and Dad were mom and dad in name only. Sometimes late at night he wondered who his real parents were, who he really was.
Izzy dismissed the thought and began typing on his computer. He had to smuggle his laptop along with him. He couldn't bare to be without it. He heard sounds of excitement. Izzy packed up his laptop and placed it behind him. He quickly placed his gloves back on. He didn't like anybody seeing that orange bat shape tattoo on his left palm, that's why he always wore gloves, unless he was alone. While Izzy was not one to socialize, he was naturally curious. He went outside and discovered it was snowing. There were six other children like him around. Izzy had only needed to hear their names once, and he committed them to memory. Tai, Matt, Sora, Mimi, Joe, and TK. They were all looking around, commenting on the weather patterns when all of a sudden, beams of light skyrocketed towards the ground. They all shielded themselves then saw these strange devices float out of the ground.
In another world, another time, Izzy walked forward and grabbed what would become his digivice. He was transported to another world, the digital world. He became friends with a creature who called himself Motimon who would become Tentomon. He would make friends with all of the children who came from camp with him. He battled powerful creatures with his digimon and human friends, and eventually ended up saving the world.
But that was another world, another time. In this time when Izzy went forward to grab this digivice, something startled him. A thousands bats appeared out of nowhere, causing him and the other children around him to jump back in surprise. A lady clad in black leather landed in front of them. With graceful finesse, she plucked each of the digivices from where they floated off the ground. Izzy just stood back, not knowing what to do.
Finally, the woman turned around. "How rude of me." She landed gently on the ground in front of the seven children. "I forgot that we've never, met digidestined. Time travel is so confusing. My name is Ladydevimon, pleased to meet you."
"What...what are you?" Tai asked, petrified.
Ladydevimon held out her hand, and it began twisting and morphing into a pointed lance. "Your death."
Tai screamed and turned to run. Izzy was right behind him as Tai smacked him down. Izzy went down, his head hitting a large protruding rock. All the other children ran past Izzy as well with only one goal in mind, escape. Izzy groaned in pain, and weakly tried to get up. A leather boot slammed down on to his chest, knocking the wind out of him. Ladydevimon was standing on his chest, the lance pointing between his eyes. "Funny how you cowards defeated me before. No matter. Good bye Izzy, my son."
Izzy screamed as Ladydevimon pulled back her weapon to strike. Suddenly, a warp hole appeared behind Ladydevimon. Although Izzy was ignorant of the fact, the digivices Ladydevimon had on her were designed to pull who ever held them into the digital world. Ladydevimon was yanked suddenly off her feet, the sudden loss of weight on his chest surprising Izzy. Izzy looked up, just in time to see Ladydevimon pulled into the warp hole and pulled into the digital world. She was flung to the furthest most corner of the digital world; it would be several digital years before she even saw another digimon again.
Back in the real world. Izzy sat petrified on the ground, breathing in deep breaths of air. The six children who had ran away before slowly came back, now that the danger was gone. "Are you ok?" Tai offered Izzy a hand.
Izzy was about to say something when it felt like something exploded in his brain. A new world had opened up inside his mind, the original time line. Izzy remembered the digital world, Tentomon, the other digidestined and digimon, Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon. Izzy lived hundreds of days in a the span of a few seconds. Izzy began shuddering as his brain tried to make sense of all this new information. He looked up at Tai who was still holding a hand out to him. "I said are you all right?" Izzy stared long and hard at Tai, the boy who pushed him down to save his own skin. Overwhelming hatred filled Izzy as he swatted away the hand. "What the?" Tai cried out in pain.
"HOW COULD YOU?!" Izzy screamed at Tai. "ALL OFF YOU?!" Izzy looked around at the six children around him. "YOU LEFT ME TO DIE!!"
TK was crying, his head buried in Matt's shirt. "Izzy, calm down, you're scaring TK!"
"I'm scaring TK?" Izzy growled. "I'M SCARING TK?! IS THAT ALL YOU CARE ABOUT?!" TK just cried harder.
"Izzy calm down!" Tai clamped a hand down on Izzy's shoulder.
Izzy turned his head and saw Tai. Izzy's got even angrier if that was possible. Tai didn't even see the punch coming. "AND YOU! YOU KNOCKED ME DOWN TO SAVE YOUR OWN HIDE!" Izzy stood over Tai, who was rubbing his bruised jaw on the ground. "YOU ALL JUST RAN BY ME! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS! AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH!"
"What are you talking about?!" Sora grabbed one of Izzy's arms.
"We hardly know you!" Joe had the other arm.
Izzy screamed as two time lines jumbled in his brain. With surprising strength, he threw Joe and Sora to the ground. Izzy turned away from these people, who were supposed to be his friends. All he knew is that he needed to get away, far away from these people.


Some how Izzy made it back to his home city days later. He didn't even know how. Did he walk? Take a train? Hitchhike? It didn't matter. Izzy just walked aimlessly down city streets. Every passing second he grew more and more angry with his previous friends. He was still living two time lines at once. Right now in first time line, Myotismon was in the digital world, searching for the eighth child. Izzy had just found out Kari, Tai's sister, was the one who Myotismon was searching for. This made Izzy even angrier. He wanted nothing more than to get back at the digidestined, but especially Tai. Tai had become the one who he hated the most. Tai had pushed him down and left him to die, after all he had done for him.
Izzy looked across the road at a park. That was the park Myotismon was hiding under, in the first time line. Izzy's mind began to hatch a plan. At first he couldn't believe he was thinking of such a horrible thing, but then he remember his wrath against Tai, and his conscience instantly disintegrated. Izzy walked into the middle of the park, which was completely empty, which was odd for even this late at night.
A Bakemon popped out of the bushes. The Bakemon had been given orders to keep the park clear of humans. He pared his sharp teeth and let out his most ghostly howl. "You will dieeeeeee…...whoooooooo!"
This human didn't even flinch. Far from it, he seemed to be expecting it. "Please dispense with the theatrics. Tell Myotismon I wish to speak with him."
The Bakemon blinked twice. "Ah, yeah sure. Wait right here." The Bakemon didn't know how this was possible, but something this weird had to be reported to Myotismon.
Izzy waited up on the surface until Gatomon reappeared from the trap door. This caught Izzy off guard. In the first time line, Gatomon had just turned out to be on the digidestined side according to the first time line running in his head, but it obviously hadn't happened here. "Follow me human."
"Certainly Gatomon." Izzy smiled.
"How did you know my name?" Gatomon glared at Izzy.
"I know more than you could ever fathom. And refer to me as Izzy, not human." Izzy looked down at Gatomon.
Gatomon sneered. "Whatever you say Izzy. I just hope you're not this polite around Myotismon. I'd hate to see you become his next victim."
Izzy followed Gatomon into Myotismon's lair. The viral digimon all looked upon him with speculation. The general whispering consensus was that he was a prisoner, or maybe even that child Myotismon was looking for. Izzy paid them no attention as he was led to a large central room. Gatomon smirked as she let Izzy enter, then shutting the door with her on the other side.
A coffin was in the middle of the room, with a red bat on the lid. The lid flew off with a flurry of bats, revealing Myotismon's tall form. Myotismon walked out of the coffin lording over Izzy. "You always liked to make an entrance Myotismon." Izzy said.
"You have two seconds to tell me why I should not drain you dry of your life blood." Myotismon bared his fangs in order to frighten this young child.
Myotismon was surprised when Izzy actually smirked at him. "Any luck with that search for the eighth child?" Izzy simply asked.
Myotismon was speechless for a second. Then he smiled. "All right, you have my undivided attention. I don't even know what happened to the first seven children. They where prophesied to show but never did. But how does a simple child like you know about that?"
"That does not matter now. But I have a deal for you." Izzy answered.
"What could you possibly have to offer me?" Myotismon asked, treating this like a joke.
"The eighth child and the eighth digimon. The ones prophesized to destroy you." Izzy smiled at Myotismon's dumbfounded expression.
"You can bring me these two?" Myotismon was no longer treating this as a joke.
"You already have one of them." Izzy enjoyed Myotismon's dumbfounded expression. "That feline Gatomon of yours is the eighth chosen digimon."
Myotismon face turned dark with rage. "I knew it. Those eyes of hers told me that one day she'd betray me. I'll delete her immediately!"
"There is no need for such drastic actions. I have my own revenge plan, and we can both be satisfied together." Izzy replied.



Tai had been home for a few days now, camp being cancelled by snow. The bruise on his face got a few questions, which Tai simply wrote off as a misunderstanding between another camper. Tai didn't think they'd believe him about the glowing device and that weird Ladydevimon. His parents weren't home right now, but Kari was here, still a bit under the weather. Tai was in his room reading a magazine. "Kari, could you get me a soda please?" No answer. "Kari? You there?"
Tai put down the magazine and walked into the main room. The door was still locked to go outside, so Kari couldn't have left. "Kari this isn't funny!" Tai began looking around, feeling a draft. Someone had left the balcony door open. Tai walked on to the balcony, a shiny object catching his notice on the ground. He picked it up; discovering it was Kari's whistle. Now Tai was really worried. Kari almost never took this whistle off. A frantic knocking on the door snapped Tai out of his trance. Tai ran to the door, flinging it open expecting to find Kari out there. "Izzy, is that you?"
"There's no time! Something has captured Kari!" Izzy yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Tai asked, still clutching the whistle.
"You know that Ladydevimon we saw? Something like that, only much worse." Izzy answered. "He's called Myotismon, and he's at the TV station."
Tai face froze in horror. He immediately took off, the TV station being a popular landmark in the city, so he knew where it was. Izzy didn't even bother trying to catch up, as he walked at a leisurely pace.



Myotismon had the child called Kari gagged and chained up. Gatomon, was there of course, she had a special part in young Izzy's plan. Myotismon had grown to respect this human's cunning and hatred. He would make a valuable servant, probably Gatomon's replacement if she failed her task. Wizardmon and Phantomon were there as well. Myotismon peered down the side of the building, a young child with goggles ran into the building, just like Izzy had predicted. Myotismon turned and face the group of select digimon. "Gatomon, you have served me well, but I need proof of your loyalty."
"I have always been loyal, Lord Myotismon." Gatomon humbly replied.
"And now you shall prove it." Myotismon pointed to the young terrified girl. It has been a simple matter of snatching her from her homestead. He would have killed her on the spot, but Izzy's plan was so sinister and revenge filled, Myotismon was happy to oblige it. "Kill this girl."
"NO!" Tai screamed as he ran up the stairs. Phantomon quickly wrapped his ball and chain around Tai's body hauling him off the ground. "LEAVE HER ALONE YOU BASTARDS!!" Tai screamed frantically struggling in Phantomon's grip. Phantomon was actually struggling to hold onto Tai.
Gatomon walked over to this young child, and looked up at her. "How can this pathetic creature be a threat to you? Is she honestly worth killing? We shouldn't have to do this."
Myotismon growled. "I see I heard right about you. I will kill her myself, and then you shall share the same fate."
Tai let out a primal scream, and head butted Phantomon with the back of his head, stunning the ghost digimon. Phantomon dropped Tai. "I WON'T LET YOU HURT HER!"
Tai leapt at Myotismon. Myotismon merely backhanded Tai, who fell limp against the corner after he stopped rolling. Myotismon turned back to Kari, who was now guarded by Wizardmon. "Gatomon is right! This is wrong!" Wizardmon held out his magical staff. "And we would rather die than harm this girl!"
"Well, now I know where you stand Wizardmon." Myotismon looked down at Gatomon. "And what about you? Are you truly willing to die in vain?"
Gatomon looked up at Myotismon, and then at Wizardmon. Gatomon walked over to Wizardmon. Wizardmon smiled, shortly before he doubled over, unconscious as Gatomon punched him in the stomach. Gatomon kicked Wizardmon over into the wall, then walked up to Kari. She jumped up and her paw moved like lightening. Kari's eyes grew wide in pain and fear as she felt something tear at her neck, shortly before the life drained from her pupils. Her pink shirt was now red as she hung motionless. Gatomon turned and bowed to Myotismon, "Is there anything else master?"
Myotismon looked at those blues eyes. Try as he might, he could see no spark of defiance, only obedience. "Nothing. You have done well Gatomon." Myotismon gestured to Wizardmon. "Lock him in my darkest dungeon. He does not deserve a quick death. Come now, we have a world to conquer." Myotismon picked up Gatomon and flew into the sky. Phantomon flew behind him, Wizardmon being hauled behind by his chain. They heard a scream penetrate the night from the TV station they just left. Myotismon chuckled to himself as the scream echoed and died in the night sky.
Tai was at his dead sisters feet, crying hysterically. He had woken up to find his beloved sister, tied to the post like a slab of meat. He would not move from this spot for nearly a day.
Izzy looked from behind the door at Tai's grieving form. There was no remorse, only a strange sort of satisfaction. "Shouldn't have left me to die." Izzy mumbled before he walked back down the stairs, back to Myotismon's lair.


Sounds of battle erupted from the city. Myotismon had ordered this city to be taken and prepared as the base to take over this world. Izzy's adoptive parents had been allowed to leave. Izzy didn't really feel anything towards them anymore. After all, they weren't his real parents; they just lied about it all these years. But he still felt enough towards them to allow them to escape the war torn city. Although Izzy didn't know it, it would be his last humanitarian act.
"I am pleased with you Izzy." Myotismon sat at a long oak table, drinking what might seem to some as red wine, but Izzy knew better. Myotismon had prepared him a feast in his honor, and they dined beneath the earth's surface in the park, the sounds of battle could still be heard. "Gatomon is now nothing more than a loyal soldier, and the eight child is no longer a threat. You have served me well. You will make an excellent servant, and I will make sure the Dark Masters hear about you."
"The who?" Izzy asked, eating a tender piece of steak. He was still living two time lines at once. In the other time line, him and his former friends had finished defeating Venomyotismon, and had just rescued a plane from crashing.
"I must admit, I am surprised you don't know. You seem to be aware of everything else that goes on." Myotismon took another sip of his red drink.
Izzy was about to answer, when another wave of memories hit him. Izzy screamed as he fell from his chair. Although he didn't know it, since the digital world ran at a much faster speed than the real world, Izzy would relive all those experience in real world time. Hence, he experience the entire time he was in the digital world a second time in the span of a heartbeat. Another flood of recollections filled Izzy's head, the Dark Masters, Apocalymon, and Ladydevimon. Ladydevimon…the creature that almost killed him was his mother. His father was Devimon and his mother was Ladydevimon. He was the child of digimon and he had power. So much power. Izzy removed his gloves, admiring the tattoo of Devimon on his hand. A chuckle escaped Izzy's lips.
"Are you damaged?" Myotismon asked, not concerned about his welfare, but more of losing such a valuable source of information.
Izzy began laughing hysterically. He got up off the ground. "I would make a dutiful servant? To the Dark Masters, Metalseadramon, Puppetmon, Machinedramon, and Piedmon?" Izzy laughed harder.
"You do know them?" Myotismon replied surprised. "How do you know all this?"
"It does not matter, but from now on you serve me." Izzy looked at Myotismon.
Myotismon placed his glass back on the table and looked at the contents as he swirled the glass around. "Are you insane child? While I am grateful for your help, explain to me why I should listen to a word you say."
"Simplistic." Izzy answered. Myotismon looked back up, and his jaw dropped. Izzy's eyes had gone blood red, and his clothes whipped around as if he was in the middle of a hurricane. A crackling black energy enveloped his body. Izzy screamed as black energy lashed out from his body, destroying every object in the room and throwing Myotismon against the wall. Myotismon sat on the floor as Izzy floated towards him. Myotismon felt a new feeling, something he never felt before, fear. Izzy picked him up by his collar, as if he was a rag doll. "Because I said so."
