AN: An interesting story that just popped into my head one day during class.

DigiEmp's POV

_______________

The Story Thus Far:

The Digimon Emperor hasn't been defeated yet. For five long years he has held onto power. The digidestined are still not aware that Ken = DigiEmp. The old group is in college and thinks that the Digiworld was a computer RPG they played when they were younger and are no longer help. But our heroes at the ripe age of seventeen are still being sucked into computers and spat out of TVs trying to save the world they love so much….

And reading the prequel (Kari) might help!

The Digimon Empress

-Chapter 2-

~Gone too well…~

"Gatomon? Here kitty, kitty, kitty. I won't hurt you…"

I watched as Kari trailed her Digimon, just staying out of sight.

"Gatomon why are you hiding from me?"

"Cause you went with him! You left all of us!!!"

"Gatomon! I would never do something like that. Sides you should be at my side, and I just happen to be at his side"

I grinned and continued to follow my huntress. She was walking slowly careful not to make much noise and I was doing the same.

"Gatomon?! Is that you?!"

I stifled a giggle as Kari put on her sweet voice.

"K—Kari?" She sounded so sad… and scared, she wouldn't for long.

"Gatomon! Please help me! I was taken by the Digimon Emperor with Davis and he took my voice. He learned how to steal my voice! That's not me I swear! Please come get me!!!"

Kari's sweet voice made me sick but the little cat Digimon crept out from her hiding place and padded forward looking cautiously at everything.

"Please Gatomon! He put me in a cage and there are red eyes staring at me!" she shrieked slightly and I almost burst into giggles.

"I'm coming Kari!" Gatomon exclaimed searching for her lost friend. She wasn't going to find Kari in the cage, oh no! She wasn't ever going to find this Kari again. Only mine existed now!

*CLANG* A cage came down trapping a very confused Gatomon inside.

"Kari?!" she was panicking and clawing at the metal bars trying to get out.

I found Kari crouched in some bushes and knelt down beside her.

"Beautiful my dear" and I placed a small kiss on her neck.

She arched slightly and practically purred, how fitting.

"Ah, ah." She waved a finger at me "There is still work that needs to be done"

She stood up and brushed leaves from her cape and came out of the brush.

"Hello Gatomon"

"Kari! Wait what's going on?"

"Nothing, nothing. Her I made you new tail ring" she offered the ring out to Gatomon, almost identical to her original one but a dark purple.

Gatomon knew something was wrong but couldn't place it and the foolish cat took the ring and slipped it on. Her head shook and she growled as the darkness seeped inside her.

Eyes now a deep indigo color looked up at Kari.

"Kari" she purred "Why on earth am I in this filthy cage?" she stretched her back arching, glanced at her claws waved her paw over the side of the cage and the bars shattered. "Let's go". The digicat rubbed her nose and set off back to our camp. I fell in besides my Digiqueen sliding an arm around her waist.

"We're perfect together" I whispered in her ear.

"That we are" and we continued the journey back home.

~*~

"Wait what?" I turned to look at the worm known as my digimon. I was working on a new design for the dark rings when my annoying digimon squirmed into the room. And said something I was not to thrilled to hear about.

"I said Master, that Queen Kari has gone off after the digidestined."

"But we had no plans of this…!"

Fuck what was she thinking? Getting closer to them might break the power of the dark bracelet. It's not that I didn't believe in myself, just they could attack her and take it off.

I stormed out of the control room and into our bed chambers and so in fact that both Kari and Gatomon were not there.

"FUCK" I swore aloud. My voice carrying down the metal halls I went back to the control room and turned on all the cameras in the surrounding area. Scanning the screens I found the digilosers sitting around and enjoying a peaceful lunch. Wow, they forgot about her quickly. They sat around laughing and I turned on the audio to see what they were saying

"Stop, stop" laughing "No more" the purple haired girl was hunched over and happy tears ran down her face.

"Hehehe" the short one laughed.

I watched them with disgust as they laughed and kidded around. I wonder…

"So guys… what's the plan?" ah, the true leader of the group spoke up.

"What plan, TJ?" I rolled my eyes at Davis, why couldn't he get TKs name right? Like I cared, but ignorance bothers me.

TK glared at Davis for the wrong name and sighed"What's the plan to get Kari back?"

"We can't, the Digimon Emperor will hurt her if we do. I told you about that bruise! He hit her! Think about what else he will do to her if we try anything!"

"We need her back you fool! She was our light and you're just going to give up on her?!"

TK and Davis were standing now and very close to fighting.

-Clap, clap, clap- I heard the applauding and saw as my queen stepped out of the shadows.

"So boys, you do care" she smirked and cocked her head to the side with a VERY pissed off Gatomon at her side.

"Kari!" TK rushed over to her and pulled her into a hug.

"That fucker!" I yelled. Who the hell did he think he was touching someone so much better than him?

"Hello TK" she said quietly. Right there for a second I though her eyes softened as she began to melt into his hug.

The others at this point were on their feet and moving closer.

"Kari how are you?"

"Did you escape?"

"Did he let you go?"

They hammered her with questions and soon had a group hug going.

"I'm glad to have you back Kari" Davis said placing his hand on her shoulder.

Her body froze up and her eyes darkened again.

She slapped his hand off and took a few steps back.

"Kari, what's wrong?" Davis looked over at everyone who replied back with 'I don't know' looks.

"Yeah, I bet you're glad, Davis" her voice was full of malice. "You missed me so much! From what I heard, TK is the only who cares. And I'm sure the only reason he does, is Tai and Matt threatened to hurt him if he ever let harm fall upon me."

"Kari, that's not true! You know that I love you!" TK pleaded.

Her eyes narrowed.

"And what bullshit lie did you tell my parents huh? I've been gone for what, a week now and this is the first time I've seen you back in the digiworld. What were you scared of? What lies have you told?" She sneered and took another step backwards.

"You've given up hope haven't you? Now that your light is gone you have nothing left to hold on to. You all sicken me" she glared at everyone and they all fell silent. Hatred radiated off her, I could feel it through the cameras.

She sniffed and a tear possibly fell down her cheek. Then she straightened up.

"You!" she shouted pointing at each of her ex-friends "You will all feel my wrath!" with that she ran back into the forests with Gatomon hot on her heels.

I kept watching the cameras knowing Kari would be okay.

"Well, fuck" TK exclaimed and pulled his hat off. He glanced over to his digimon who nodded.

"Patamon digivolve to Pegasusmon, wings of Hope"

With that TK leapt onto the flying horse digimon and they flew off in the same direction as Kari.

The others were going to join when Davis shook his head.

"Why?"

"You weren't there. You didn't see what he did to her. I don't want to listen to him, but till we have a solid plan, I won't go after her yet.

"Then let's make one!!"

"I honestly don't know what to do. We can't ask the older guys, TK took off and till he gets back I don't want to decide anything" Davis walked a few paces then resigned to sitting down and put his head in his hands.

"Davis, what happened when you were captured?" The purple haired girl came and sat down next to him wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

He merely shook his head and said nothing.

"Okaaaay, so the babies will cry, TK will try to find Kari and I will go find her and comfort her. Good!" I clapped my hands and then rubbed me head.

"What the fuck is getting into me?" I wondered aloud.

Shaking my head I stomped off to get a flying digimon and find my queen.

---

I found her huddled in a cave quiet a distance from our base. Gatomon was curled up in a ball, but growled when she noticed me.

"Nice to see you too cat."

I walked closer to Kari and heard light sobs coming from her.

"Are you okay hun?"

"Of course I'm okay" She sat up and her eyes were dry; she didn't look like she was even crying.

"Ya sure?"

She smirked. That evil little grin of hers.

"I will be fine, don't worry about me" her eyes deepened to an even deeper purple and she began laughing.

Okaaaay…. She was scaring me just a bit. I stood up and watched as she threw her head back with a terrifying giggle escaping her lips. I stepped back and noticed the dark bracelet was glowing black. And this black light seemed to being seeping into her very being.

Oh, shit.

I kept backing up and was soon running to my control panel.

I pulled up the information of the dark bracelet and ran some quick scans based on my observations.

Oh.

That's not what I had anticipated.

Fuck.
