In a dark and cold place, the sound of tapping in the keyboard echoed through the place as our view focuses in a certain boy on a throne. "Ken… don't you think you should get some rest? You've been up for almost 3 days now!" Wormmon concerned.
"I told you not to call that!" Ken yelled as Wormmon jumped. "I'm sorry, Master! Please get some rest…" "No… I am not!" Ken snapped. "Please, Master… you're going to get sick!" Wormmon insisted. "Silence!!!" his master yelled. "I don't take orders from you OR anyone! Do you understand?!"
"Temper, temper!" a far away voice echoed.
"Who's that?"
"You shouldn't have done that to your partner… or else you'll lose him one day!" the voice continued. "Who are you? Show yourself!" Ken demanded. "Do I have to?" the voice toyed. "You're starting to irritate me!" Ken cursed.
"Fine, fine!" the voice sighed and finally emerged from the shadows. He had green skin, huge muscles and a very small head with a red orb on his forehead. "I'm Kururomon!"
"What do you want?" Ken demanded. "I just heard recently that someone was taking over the Digital World smoothly and I wanted to see this for myself!" he roamed around. "You must be the Digimon Emperor, Ken Ichijouji!"
"Don't call me that!" Ken yelled. "Well, I'm here to take over… time's up, kid! You had your fun… game's over!" Kururomon suddenly roared. "Catastrophe!" he yelled. Green fog came out from his red orb and circled around Ken. But this was no ordinary fog, as the gas caressed Ken, it started ripping his skin like a thousand knifes slashing through his body. Ken screamed as Wormmon closed his eyes. It lasted for the next 3 minutes when Wormmon finally cried out loud. "STOP IT!!!"
Ken fell on his knees and hugged himself. Wormmon stood in front of Ken and defended for his master. Blood started to stain Ken's suit and the floor was dyed by Ken's blood. "He had enough!" Wormmon said bravely, although he was trembling. "No, he hasn't!" Kururomon snorted. "Get out of there you filthy worm!" Kururomon raised his hands and a black beam shot out from it and hit Wormmon straight in the heart.
"No…" Ken blurted. "WORMMON!" Wormmon fell back and landed on Ken's arms. "Wormmon… speak to me!" Ken shook his friend. "I… I can't die… just yet! I… still… need to… protect you…" Wormmon struggled. "Wormmon, no!" Ken cried as his tears dropped on Wormmon's cheek. "Please… don't cry… Ken!" Wormmon whispered. "Wormmon…" Kururomon's laugh can be heard in the background as Ken hugged his best friend. Wormmon smiled at Ken when he let go. "Why are you smiling?" Ken asked.
"You didn't… get mad! You didn't get… mad when… I called you… 'Ken'!" "Why would I? That's who I am, right?" Ken gave out a smile as well. "Good-bye… Ken…"
"Wormmon! Wormmon, please don't leave me!" No use. Wormmon dissolved into data as Ken screamed at the top of his lungs. He heard Kururomon applaud and Ken looked up to his enemy, gritting his teeth.
"That was an Oscar-winning show, if I do say myself!" he laughed. "You'll pay for this!" Ken struggled to stand up. "Right…" Kururomon faked a yawn and shot the same black beam again to Ken. But this time, it hit his right shoulder and he fell back. "If you don't mind…" Kururomon approached Ken's computers. "No…" Ken struggled as he held his bleeding shoulder.
He felt his vision turning down on him as he exerted to stand back. But then, his body was weak from the wounds and because the lack of rest. Thus, he fainted.

He woke up a few moments later, only to find him tied up in a chair. At least, he was sitting. "So I see you're awake!" He looked up to see Kururomon grinning at him. "You idiot!" he cursed. "Look at my new creation!" he said as he stepped aside. ¾ of the Digital World were filled with Control Spires! "H- how…"
"How did I do it? Simple! You're not the only genius around here!" Kururomon lifted Ken's chin. "How can you be a genius when your brain is so small?" Ken mocked, referring to Kururomon's small head.
Kururomon took out a small scalpel out of nowhere and slowly caressed it on Ken's cheek and neck. "Stop it..." Ken ordered irritably. "Now… I'm getting closer to world domination… all I need now is one single thing…" He then, grabbed Ken's neck and raised it to face his. "What's the password to your main drive?" he inquired.
"Why… should I… tell you?" Ken choked. "Let your… puny little brain… do the work!"
Without hesitation, Kururomon dug the scalpel on Ken's right leg, which made Ken cry out in pain. Blood started staining Ken's pants. "Either you tell me… or suffer more!" Kururomon twisted the scalpel and Ken winced again. He felt his tears fall down his cheek as he closed his eyes.
"Are you going to tell me… or not?" Kururomon whispered by Ken's ear. "You… have… bad breath!" Ken cursed. "Oh… don't tell me that's the password!" Kururomon mocked as he dug the scalpel deeper and squeezed Ken's neck closer. Ken winced and finally gave up. "The… Rocket!" Ken muffled.
"What? Say that again?" Kururomon toyed. "The Rocket! That's the password!" Ken struggled. "Hn! Perfect!" Kururomon let go of Ken's neck and pulled out the scalpel with great force, which made Ken scream again. "Thanks absolutely… for NOTHING!" And with that, he kicked Ken right in the torso sending Ken flying to a nearby wall (still sitting on the chair). Kururomon head back to the main computers and continued fidgeting with his plan as Ken drifted to unconsciousness again.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~
Ken woke up again only to find himself in a moving thing. Thankfully, he wasn't tied up! But then, he was still weak from his wounds. He focused his eyes on something green. Kururomon! He cursed. He struggled to sit upright, but then, found himself facing in sharp spears held by some Vegitamamons.
"Ah! I see you're awake!" Kururomon chuckled as he maneuvered something. Ken's eyes widened when he found himself riding an Airdramon. "Where are we going?" Ken asked. "For a little errand…" Kururomon answered.
"An errand?" Ken repeated. "I can't have World Domination when there are tiny insects pestering around me, can I?" he smirked. "What do you mean?" Ken glared. Kururomon's grin widen into an evil smile. "The Digidestines, of course…"
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~
Kururomon grabbed the Digimon Emperor by the hair and dragged him by the "Digital Gate" (the TV thing) and held out the Digimon Emperor's face by the screen. He pressed some buttons and started a little Video Message for the DDs. "Digidestines… if you ever want your Digimon Emperor alive… come to the Digital World!" he said. "You know where to find him!" he sneered. "They'd never come for me, you fool!" Ken managed to blurt out. "Oh… I know they'll come!" Kururomon smirked.
"Yeah, right! Your brain is as small as your head!" Ken mocked. "Shut up!" Kururomon hit Ken right in the gut as Ken winced in pain and passed out.
He threw Ken aside and continued his message. "This is Kururomon and I'm here to be the next ruler of the Digital World!" he chuckled. "And like what your Digimon Emperor said, if you don't come for him… well, I'm not going to do anything to you! After all, you deal with garbage by just throwing them out, right?" he laughed.
"I could just throw him out to sea and leave him there for the sharks to eat him!" he laughed out loud. "Well, what do I care anyway!" he paused. "Interfere with me… and the same thing," he pointed to Ken. "…Will happen to you!" And the Video ended.
He walked back to Ken and grabbed him by the hair. "I have no use for you anymore!" He said, although he knew he wouldn't get an answer from the unconscious Kaiser. "But… someday… hmm…" He thought for a while for some evil schemes. "Maybe you will come in handy!" he said. He threw Ken back to the ground again and faced his Vegitamomons. "When we get back to the base, lock him up in a cell where no one can get him out!" he ordered and the Vegitamomons followed. They threw Ken to the back of the Airdramon and flew back to the base.
