I Need a Villain ~Katsura, Ban/D, Dante (Fin)

And so Piedmon starts concocting more evil plans. Meanwhile what is Dante doing? Sitting on the couch, of course! Him, Judith, and Wormmon are sitting on the couch watching Women's Volleyball. "Is this all you ever watch anymore? You just like it because of their tight little shorts." "Yes, and they are amazing." "Don't you have class today, Dante?" "Uh, oh ya. I was going to go to class then run a few errands, but plans changed. I'm going on a date later today." "A date?! Since when did you get a date?"

Dante takes a bite of his toast with jam. "Mmm, why are you so surprised, sis?" "She's just jealous because she can't get a man!" "I don't know, you're not exactly good with relationships. I guess anyone can get ONE date." "So Dante, who's the lucky lady?" "Raz." "Raziya?! You're going on a date with her?" "Now you are surprised?" "I can't believe it either. Her standards must be low." "Hey!" "Can I come with you guys?" "No, it's just going to be the two of us. Yes, just me and Raziya today."

All of a sudden there's a sudden knock at the door. Dante sets down his toast and gets up to answer the door. Dante is stunned to see Misty standing outside. "There's my darling Dante!" Misty dive tackles Dante to the ground and starts hugging him. "Bah! Misty! What the hell are you doing?" Judith rolls her eyes. She gets up and tries pulling Misty off of her good for nothing slacker brother. Finally Misty lets go. "What are you doing here?" "Well, I'm still mad at you for smashing my digivice, but that's in the past. We can still be together, Dante!" "Not a chance! You're crazy, and clingy, and psycho."

Misty starts to cry. "Oooooohhhh WHAAAAAHHHH!!! Why don't you like me, Dante? You use to like me." "That was before we found out you were working for Piedmon." "Well I'm not anymore! With no D-Tector, he said I'm weak and useless! All the men in my life hate me. And now I can't spirit evolve and use my magic to steal things, so I'm going to go broke and get kicked out of my college dorm!" Dante feels bad for Misty. Sure, she's crazy, but as long as she can't digivolve to Cambramon, what harm could she do? "I'm sorry, Misty... On any other day I'd let you stay, but I've got, err, plans..."

"Dante's going on a date!" "Huh, dang it, Wormmon..." "A date! You mean you're cheating on me?! Who is the bitch? I'll break her legs!" "We never were dating. Just drop it." Misty runs her finger down the collar of his shirt. "Well... as long as you're whoring yourself out, Dante, you could give me a piece of your sweet ass pie." Misty grabs Dante by the collar and pulls him in for a kiss. At first Dante resists, but gives in and starts kissing back. Then Misty grabs his butt, and Dante struggles to get away. Judith confronts the horny girl, and tugs on one of her red pigtails. "Keep your paws off my brother, you dirty trashy whore!" Judith drags Misty outside and slams the door!

Misty sits down and leans against the door. "Hoah! No more Dante, no more Wizardmon, no more magic powers, no more Piedmon, no more money, no more stealing, no more place to live... GODDESS DAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIT! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT?!" Misty gets up and storms off down the street, looking for answers. Judith takes a napkin and wipes off Dante's face. "You've got lipstick all over you. I'm glad my boyfriends didn't screw around like you do." "You know Kano was seeing half a dozen girls any given day." "Hmph, have fun on your date. A skinny pale blue eyed blonde who's way too into leather, going out with a woman from Africa with the body of a supermodel and long dreads. You two will make a cute couple."

Piedmon sits around a table planning schemes with his most loyal soldiers of chaos. "Now then, just what exactly has been going on in the Digital World?" Revan goes over his reports. "There was an attack on the Server Woods. A SkullGreymon went on a rampage and destroyed a significant area of the forest. The last I heard yesterday, the fires were still going. There's also been riots in the desert trade city of Nubar. Rumors of a Stingmon fighting the bandits there. Dante could be there." "Hmm, so Dante and the funky bunch might be in the middle of this?"

"Lord Piedmon, should we go to Nubaaaar, and crush that fool Dante?" "Hmm, tempting. But that's not our fight. And what of this SkullGreymon?" "I heard SkullGreymon became an egg!" "Interesting. Where did this SkullGreymon come from?" "The sources couldn't say. Why is this important to you?" "You dare question the Prince of Chaos?! I'm interested, because I need recruits for my evil army! Think about it, there's got to be dozens of destructive Digimon out there, just waiting for the right motivation to unleash chaos! Whu hu ha ha ha ha!"

Suddenly, Piedmon hears intruders in his domain. "Oh? What's this? Continue coming up with evil plans. And we've got to find some lackeys for my army." Piedmon activates the Data Core around his waist, and teleports through a portal close to where the intruders are. "You wanna play some canasta, Revan?" "Shut up, Piddomon." ...Off in the distance near the Cliffs of Chaos, Piedmon sees two Elecmon bumbling around in this dangerous territory. Piedmon fires off some energy blasts in the sky to get their attention, then floats over to speak with the Digimon. "Greetings, what brings you to this dark and dreadful place today?"

Meanwhile... Dante is off to the mall to meet with Misty, I mean, Raziya. As he's walking to the doors, Raziya runs up and taps him on the shoulder. Dante turns around, and sees a different side to Raziya. Instead of wearing clothes suited for roughing it out in the Digital World, she has a sleeveless magenta shirt and white shorts. "Dante! It's good to see you." "Hey Raziya. You're looking amazing." "Yes, well, we're not exactly going to be battling each other out in the desert, or getting chased by creepy students ...yet?"

Dante and Raziya walk into the mall, with Raz holding onto Dante's hand. It made Dante feel, uncomfortable. Her hand was soft, and cold, like Shirou's hands, although not as boney. Plus, other girls would be looking at them. They order some teriyaki and sit down in the food court. "I'll admit, I was surprised when you asked me out." "I was surprised when you said yes." "Then why did you ask me?" "Well, you know. We've been friends for a while, and I didn't know how you felt about me, as more than a friend." "I didn't know if you were interested either. Not that I would have said yes. But we've gotten to know each other, and while you might be kind of a dork, you're a good person." "Ugh, thanks."

Apparently these Digimon, Red and Blue, are some kind of prophets? Piedmon is puzzled as to their intentions, but he hopes that maybe they will be sinister enough to fight for him. "So, wandering warriors. My my, I hope that you haven't come to overthrow little old me. It's not often such bold Digimon are wandering around. I wonder, would you fine Digimon be interested in working for me? Just what are your ideals? Greed, glory, harmony, love?" The Prince of Chaos was playing it casual. Had this been a different day, he might have just captured these low levels by now.

But who wants to think about evil armies forming? Terrifying Digimon rallying around a psychotic clown? Evil minions spreading to all corners of the Digital World, maybe even Japan. But Dante has more important things to do, like go on dates. While Dante and Raziya are eating in the food court, Dante's friend Kiyoko walks by. She is wearing a white and red kimono, and her dark hair is up in fancy braids. She is carrying some decorative shopping bags. "Dante?" "Kiyoko? Hey, what are you doing here?" "I just came to pick up a few things. What are you doing here?"

Raziya leans in closer to Dante. "Dante and I are on a date." "My goodness, I apologize for intruding." "So, what did you buy?" Kiyoko nervously holds the bags behind her back. "Oh, nothing. Just some clothes, some herbs for remedies." "Come on, let's see what's in the bag." "Raz, I really don't think-" Raziya reaches over and wrestles the bags away from Kiyoko. Raziya reaches into a pink bag. "Well, what do we have here?"

What does that have to do with Piedmon? I really don't know. With Wizardmon out of the picture, Piedmon needed somebody else spying on Dante, tracking his movements. Maybe these Elecmon were stealthy enough for the job. "Excuse me, gentlemen. How would you feel about being professional stalkers?" I'm not one to question Piedmon's tactics, because I'm just the narrator, but the Prince of Chaos is going to need a lot more evil and nasty Digimon to expand his army.

Will Red and Blue join Piedmon's army, and help it expand into an evil empire? But more importantly, what the hell is in that bag?!

Apparently these Digimon were not the lackeys Piedmon is looking for. This talk of... peace? No. Piedmon is more determined than ever to rule again. "Oh, how dreaful! To think that the common Digimon don't know who's ruling over this domain. Tis a shame, I thought you would be more capable." The Prince of Chaos would have to look further for willing fighters. His current regiment is, lacking. And with more powerful Digimon running around than ever before, it would be that much harder for Piedmon to stake his claim.

Double D asks who they will be stalking. And what kind of compensation for this, crime. It's only natural to want something in return. "I've somewhat grown attached to a certain young Tamer. Perhaps you've even heard of them. His name is Dante, and although he comes off as foolish and annoying, his potential is unknown. Him and his, wonderful, beautiful partner Lilithmon!" Meanwhile, back at the Palladino house... "Buhuwrugh, I just got the creeps!"

At the mall, Raziya has pulled something out of the priestess' shopping bag. Raziya reveals a black and red negligee corset. "Whoah man! Looks like underneath all your robes and manners, Kiyoko's got a wild side! And look how big this bra is." Kiyoko snatches her fancy underwear away from Raziya. "I'm sorry, I must go now!" Kiyoko quickly leaves the food court. "Now why did you go and do that?" "What's the matter? Would you rather be on a date with her?" "What, no! She's a friend. I'm here on a date with you." "Yes, well your friend has some interesting fashion sense."

Back at the Dark Fortress, Revan and Piddomon are playing Elf Monopoly. "4..5..6, ah ya the Rising Sun Tavern!" Piddomon buys the property. It's Revan's turn, and he rolls. "Chance. Pick up a card, Revan." "I know how the damn game works! Let's see... A sorcerer turns you into a rabbit. Lose one turn. Oh hell!" "Haha! Soon, all of Everwood shall belong to me! Then I will be... Lord Piddomon!" "It's just a game."

The Prince of Chaos looks down at Red, interested in what he has to say. "Dante doesn't deserve my Lilithmon. Maybe I need to find somebody else to mold into my protégé." Red mentions a Mega level who spoke of a dark trio. "Oh, does this Elecmon know about the Dark Triad?!" Piedmon was playing right in to Red's game. The Mega had no clue that Ban has in fact met Dante at least once. He was even present for Lilithmon's return, so he knows everything that happened there, first hand.

His sibling, Double D, wasn't exactly present at the time. *Leaves butt print on 4th Wall.* Double D said that they were capable, and questioned Piedmon's lack of strong allies serving under him. As well as wanting something in return. "I can assure you, gold, power, glory, fame, you will be well compensated." Red pushed his color coordinated counterpart aside. "Oh, a compromise you say?" Red requested free access to, and from the dark area, in exchange for information on Dante.

These Elecmon were proving to be quite the interesting duo. Sure, not an unstable powerhouse to let loose, but possible lackeys nonetheless. "Well, no chess game can be won without pawns. Even the greatest play ever would need small roles. Yes, these wandering warriors could be of use to me after all. And the red one seems to know something, but he's not telling me without a price. Yes, I rather like his style. Maybe with time, I can influence these two."

Red also spoke of searching for warriors. Although not quite as nasty as what the Prince has in mind. "Very well. I propose an alliance. In exchange for information on Dante, and keeping track of his whereabouts as requested, I shall grant you sanctuary here in the Dark Area. If anyone gives you any trouble, let them know that Piedmon himself has deemed you worthy. I can even give you access to teleportation if you like. Speaking of which, come with me."

Piedmon reaches down to the Data Core around his waist. It looks like a silver and gold device capable of generating an astounding amount of energy. It's wrapped around Piedmon's slender waist with a metal plated belt. "This is the Data Core. With this, I can open portals to just about anywhere I want. If it wasn't for this device, I never would have escaped my prison. Oh, Wizardmon, you were always my most loyal and amazing servant!" Piedmon turns around for a moment to wipe the tears out of his eyes with a white cloth, before turning back around. Piedmon activates the Data Core, and opens up a purple portal back to the Dark Fortress. "It's showtime..." Piedmon floats through the portal, waiting for Red and Blue to follow through.

Meanwhile, Dante's dealing with girl trouble. Yawn. I've got 99 problems and a woman ain't one, because I'm the narrator. Speaking of which, I didn't get paid last week.

"If I were a dark demonic digimon bent on destruction and manipulation where would I be?" Katsura had recently asked herself and Nyao that exact question. After promising a new friend to find Phelesmon and finding out it was a demon of sorts, the dark area seemed like the obvious place to start searching.

And thus Katsura was wandering around the dark area, at her side was Nyao the Minervamon who had refused to devole ever since landing out of worry for the imminent threat of this place.

The search has been fruitless so far, with the only information being about the species, but nearby a castle was approaching. Could this be the hideout of Phelesmon? Actually no, for you see Katsura had accidentally discovered The Dark Fortress ruled by Piedmon. Hopefully, he doesn't mind trespassers looking at his door.

"So you like this chick." Blue remarked, casually, before hearing some more details on this ladymon, as well as seeing he was right in how Piedmon was lacking in servants, as well as some choice information, "so. You wanna be with this chick, despite the fact you... Betrayed her? Sorry, pal, but that sounds like it'll be tough." he shrugged, as he noticed the girl in the room, thinking to himself, "a human..? What's she doin' here?" but he decided it wasn't important right now. Upon their names, Red spoke up, "well, your assumption IS correct, I believe. Since Lilithmon is partnered with Dante, I don't think she can access her power alone. The power must be summoned by both of them. And as for our names call us that informally all you like, but our names are actually Ban and D, formally." he corrected, calmly, gesturing to each of them, respectively. The two snapped to attention at the Piddomon tripping, before, in a flash of light, and a blur of movement,the two rookie levels dissappeared, and the papers strewn about the air seemed like they were being shoved right back into their neat little stack, before they were all organized, and a small, less than a foot tall being planted itself under Piddomon, lifting him back up, but giving him a mild static shock in the process. A Thundermon, after Piddomon stood upright, once more, made himself known, on top of the stack of papers, "watch your feet. Someone really needs to organize this place." he said, a smirk on his tiny face, as he stretched his negatively charged knuckles, "well, this is actually the most successful time we've done this, so thank you, I suppose." he remarked, towards Piddomon, flashing a charming, if miniscule smile, before Piedmon ordered him to come along to deal with more guests. He decided to stay as Thundermon, as he wanted to exist for as long as possible. He floated down, alongside Piedmon, raising his eyebrow at Piedmon's "welcome!" bomb, "a kid...? What does she think she's doing down here?" he muttered, deciding to allow Piedmon to do the talking.
