Ch. 1
The Despot
Underneath the dark, tumultuous sea, a sea that had once been calm and peaceful, the enormous sea serpent lay on the stone bottom.
Admiring all the sea.
Admiring all that was his.
It was all his, all of it. No one else's. He was the strongest. Stronger than any weak bottom feeder that roamed the waters.
Every corner of the sea, every grain of sand, every drop of water, belonged to him and only him.
It was only natural. Under his rule, the sea had become what it was meant to be. A force of nature. A force to be feared.
A force that was his empire.
The other residents of the sea would be allowed to live of course, if they swore absolute loyalty to him. And if they served him well. It was pointless to rule an empire without subjects. An emperor needed slaves.
He knew how to rule, unlike the others.
The others…
They were powerful, but they were fools. Pinnochimon and Piemon saw the Digital World only as a plaything, something to have fun with, not to rule. They killed their own minions at will, and then laughed, as though they were playing with toys. They laughed as they killed the Village of Beginnings, not seeming to realize that they would doom their slaves to extinction.
All they cared for was pain.
Though he never showed it (show of emotion was weak, and he was strong), it…disturbed him.
Mugendramon…he thought Mugendramon was different at first. He ruled with an iron fist, crushing all free will. That was how an emperor should rule.
MetalSeadramon admired that. He thought he had found a kindred spirit he could respect.
Until he found his "pastime."
Now…now he disturbed him far more than the other two.
He growled in anger. And yet…the growling concealed something else.
Something within him that disturbed him more than anything his "comrades" did.
Something that laughed with wicked glee when they did those ridiculous and self-destructive acts.
Because, though he could hide it with arrogance and greed---he was Chaos.
And Chaos brought pain with conquest.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter wasn't very good; MetalSeadramon is not my favorite Dark Master. Hopefully the next chapters will be better.
Read and Review please!
