Summary: The Kaiser has found out a secret of Ishida Yamato, and he's not going to rest until he's extracted everything that he can from it.


There weren't many Chosen who could stand in the center of a circle of Digimon, each and every one of them wearing either an Evil Ring or Spiral, and be as fearless as Ishida Yamato was. Some of that came from the swords he carried, each one blazingly sharp and each with the Crest of Friendship emblazoned on the hilt.

Most of the rest of it came from the fact he knew full well that neither Ring or Spiral held any power at all over him.

What did worry him was the fact he couldn't see Gabumon at all and it would hardly be the first time that the Digimon Kaiser enslaved one of their own. That had worked out well enough, but there was a large difference between him and Taichi.

Mainly that he was half Ultimate Virus Digimon and Taichi wasn't.

And from the way that the Kaiser stared at him with hungry, possessive eyes, he knew of that difference.

"So you're him. The infamous son of Piemon," the Kaiser said, not looking away for so much as a moment. "Supposedly the most powerful Digimon in all of the Digital World."

Yamato shrugged, still not releasing his grip on his swords. "That's not the reputation that I want."

"But it's the one I've heard so much of you about. They call you the Dark Prince of the Digital World." The Kaiser took a step closer and Yamato raised his blades in defense. "I'm not going to hurt you. I have an offer for you."

"Not interested." Yamato didn't care what the offer was. It made no difference at all to him. He'd chosen his side years ago and it wasn't the side that the Kaiser represented.

But the Kaiser only smiled as his slaves moved in closer. "I wasn't really asking you. Or perhaps I should say I wasn't asking you." The different inflection sent chills running all throughout Yamato.

"Where's Gabumon?" Once he had his partner safe again, then they could both get out of there. He could see the Evil Tower not that far away; if he had to destroy it himself he would, just so Gabumon could evolve.

"Unharmed. I don't care about him. I care about you." Before Yamato could react, half a dozen Digimon leaped onto him, one wrenching his swords away, the others holding him down so he couldn't get away. He snarled, trying his best to focus, only to have a Musyamon smack him over the back of the head, sending his attention scattering to the winds.

He stayed awake, but by the time he could think clearly again, chains that he couldn't break bound his arms behind his back and he was being dragged over to the Kaiser's current mount.

"I think this is best done somewhere in private," he heard the Kaiser say from behind him. "Make certain his Gabumon doesn't go anywhere until I give the word." Yamato could almost hear the smirk. "Or until he does."

Uh-oh.
