A/N: here's another chapter. Please read and review. And I hope the reviews contain constructive criticism.

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, or any of it's characters.

Charge! Horn of Miracles, Rhinomon!

"AHH! Run! It's the evil Digimon Emperor!"

Up on the rocky cliff, flanked by the tall, black obelisk, the scream brought a smile to his lips. Clad in yellow sunglasses with purple lenses, a blue, gray and white jumpsuit, cuffs on his wrists and also a blue cape with a yellow lining that looks very much like insect wings, the Digimon Emperor triumphantly stared down at the darkened forest through his dark-purple sunglasses. He paused for a moment to let the wind ruffle his spiky, midnight blue hair. Today was a perfect day… for him to conquer.

He yanked out his long, leather whip and cracked it on the stone, the snap echoing through the tense air. Instantly a barrage of small, black rings rose up behind him and shot into the forest like hunting the people of the forest like wild animals.

The forest's population descended into chaos, every being fleeing this way and that, hoping against hope that those rings would miss them… but the Emperor had made sure there were enough rings for every one. The first ring caught its victim: a creature with a pumpkin for it's head. The next one latched onto a fleeing rock creature. A third wrapped itself around the neck of a helmeted, flying unicorn, forcing it to the ground. The barrage of those black rings mercilessly rained down upon the forest, each one efficiently finding someone to grab on to.

The worst was yet to come, however; as a mysterious language appeared in blood red on each ring, their victims rose, their eyes glowing with light of the same color. Though they still breathed and moved, the lives they had essentially ended; they were now only the servants of the Emperor.

Though most of the forest's inhabitants were now the Emperor's servants, one creature still fled: a small, guinea with bat wings on his head. He managed to avoid the Emperor, but how long could he go on for?

As he flew around a tree a ring shot down from above. As he yelped and veered away, he managed to dodge the ring. He sighed with extreme weariness. He wished he was able to digivolved but with more than half of the world at his feet, he wasn't sure he alone would be enough.

He looked up at the dark gray sky, he had eyes filled with longing for a older time. She knew who had the power they needed to stop the fiend… but they had long since left this worldI. If he knew how to call them, he would ask them for help.

A nearby crash snapped him from those thoughts, and he turned in terror to see the unicorn scramble to its hooves, its visor glowing evilly. He frantical looked around for a means of escape, but saw only thick trees; he was essentially cornered.

The unicorn gave a cruel, gurgling chortle as it advanced on him,opening its mouth to reveal a growing sphere of energy. His wings stood on end; a devastating Horn Buster attack was coming.

Left without any options, the guinea pig ran, managing to avoid the blast of the beast, while running the direction of the trees he destroyed. He yelled a name to the darkness hoping he would come:

"T.K!"

… … …

"TK!" came a sharp call from outside of the small room. "Hurry up! You don't want to be late your first day!"

TK groaned as he jammed his new schoolbooks into his backpack and threw it on. He agreed with his mother: it wouldn't do to start off at a new school tardy. Especially after he just moved back to the country. As quickly as he had tried to eat breakfast, he had been thwarted; his mother's infamous oatmeal was so thick that it could choke a horse.

"New apartment, new school yet same old lumpy oatmeal," he laughed to himself, turning and grabbing a bucket hat and then putting it on.(A/N: I am going to keep the hat of course. That hat is life. And if you don't agree, fight me.)
"OK, I'm going now, Mom," he announced as he stepped out of his room and put on his shoes in the doorway.

"All right, dear," his mom replied from the den, where she furiously typed away at a computer. "I'd see you off, but I've got a tight deadline on this article about the significance of toilet paper in the world."

His mom's old company managed to rebuild itself and rehired all of their old employees.

"No problem Mom." he said as he opened the door. "See you later!"

He shut the door and started towards the stairs. Being on the twelfth floor of an apartment gave a nice view, but it took a lot of time to get out of the building. He could have taken one of the elevators, but with time against him he felt it was faster to zip down the stairs.

Bounding down the steps, two at a time in some places, he reached the ground floor in record time. Glancing at his watch, he grinned; he had been so quick, he could afford to walk instead of run. As he walked out of the stairwell, he knew everything would turn out just fine.

… … …

"Hello, my name is Takeru Takaishi, but call me T.K. I'm transferring in from a school in France. Nice to meet you." T.K said with a smile on his face.

The other students couldn't have helped not smiling. That smile of his was contagious.

"He's cute don't you think?"

"So totally. We got to get his email address later."

But among the class there was someone who wasn't smiling. A boy with Raven black hair. A boy named Ken Ichijouji. As for why he wasn't even trying to pretend smiling it was because of the boy in front of him,he was sure he knew him, but he just couldn't remember where or why. But he felt that the boy in front of him could be a threat to him.

"So T.K, take a seat next to Ken. The boy with black hair."

T.K then proceeded to take his seat next to Ken.

"Alright, can anyone read the following text in English? T.K, mind showing us what you learned over in France?"

T.K was surprised that he would be going first, but he nodded in agreement. He then stood up to read the text.

"There exists no human, who didn't once have light in them. The fact that they drowned in darkness, itself is proof of their once be light."

The class looked at him in amazement. The only other person capable of reading it that perfectly in the class was Ken.

"Excellent job T.K ." the teacher said jovially.

The rest of the day went well for T.K, with him excelling in most of his classes.

He then got a bad feeling. He then began to hurry back home. When he did, he noticed that his mom was gone. There was a note that said she went out and will be back in a couple of hours. But a gate to the digital world was opened on his mom's computer. T.K grabbed his digivice and crests in order to be able to digivolve Patamon easier.

"Digiport open!"

…. …..

Patamon somehow felt him enter the Digital World.

"He's here!" He said worriedly. He then proceeded to fly but he was grabbed by Kari, before he could get there.

"Whoa. Calm down Patamon. Who's here?" She asked even though she had an idea of who it was.

"T.K!" Patamon said trying to get free.

This astonished Kari and Tai. Especially Kari.

"You sure he's here? Isn't he supposed to be in France? " Tai asked in caution. Worried that if he was here, then he might be in danger.

"I'm 100% positive it's him. Now let me go. Come on!" He said, trying to escape Kari's grasp.

"But Patamon, if you go out there you'll be in danger!" Gatomon said in worry.

"But T.K is in more danger than I am!" Patamon said. But something weird happened. His body began to glow and disappear in light.

"Don't worry Kari. Me and Agumon are going to go look for him." But as Tai and Agumon started heading out of the exit until Monochromon passed by.

Tai muttered

"I forgot that Monochromon was still out there."

Davis and Veemon were confused about what's going on.

"So Kari, who were you guys talking about?" Davis asked as an excuse to talk to her.

"Patamon's partner. A boy named T.K." She had a look that was a mixture of nostalgia, happiness, and a bit of sadness on her face, and from it, he felt danger from it. As if this boy he never met could take Kari away from him. And he wasn't going to let that happen!

….. …

"Patamon!"

"T.K!" they cried as they saw each other.

"Patamon where exactly are we?" T.K asked as he looked around their surroundings.

"I don't know T.K. I just got here the same time you did." They were in a cave with a spring in to. There were crystals that illuminated the cave. And in the pond there was a path made of rock leading to a gold digiegg on a pedestal. They could see it from here. The DigiEgg had the crest of miracles on it. They both felt drawn to it.

"What do you think we should do Patamon?" he asked his partner, with a tone of wonder.

"Maybe we should check it out. Maybe it's meant for us since we're both here." But they were already nearing it instinctively. Then TK's digivice began to glow a light that bordered between yellow and gold. When the glow stopped T.K took the digivice out. His digivice had a entirely different shape, and was a mixture of yellow and gold Was this mysterious DigiEgg the cause?

"Alright. Here I go." T.K then picked up the DigiEgg. It weigh almost nothing in his hand. But then something happened to Patamon.

"Patamon armor digivolve to…... Rhinomon! Horn of Miracles!" Patamon became a different Digimon from his other evolutions. Instead of resembling an angel, this evolution resembled a rhino completely clad in armor that resembled gold.

"I am Rhinomon! I am the armored digivolved of Patamon with the DigiEgg of Miracles. With my special attack Atomic Burst I charge through enemy Digimon cloaked in light and digimon on the receiving end are turned into 1's and 0's."

"Cool!" T.K said with a excited voice.

"Yeah. With this, I can fight back against the Digimon Emperor." This confused T.K.

"Digimon Emperor?"

"Yeah. I forgot to mention him. He is a human who came to the Digital World and began trying to take it over."

"What?" T.K was utterly blindsided. If he was human then that means he is a Digidestined. But why would a Digidestined try to take over the Digital World.

"He uses some kind of Dark Ring to take control of Digimon, and managed to do something to prevent Digimon from Digivolving." When he heard what this Digimon Emperor was doing he couldn't help but feel angry. How could he do this to the Digimon? But that brought another question to his mind.

"How are you able to digivolve now then Rhinomon?"

"That is an interesting question." A voice came out of nowhere. A boy with spiky hair entered T.K's field of vision. He wore yellow sunglasses with purple lenses, a blue, gray and white jumpsuit, cuffs on his wrists and also a blue cape with a yellow lining that looks very much like insect wings.

T.K felt that he was familiar, but he didn't know why. But he knew one thing. This guy must be the Digimon Emperor.

"You're the Digimon Emperor right?"

"You're right. You look smarter than the other trespassers at least."

"Trespassers? So you mean that the Digital World is yours?" T.K was wondering what he thought the digital world was.

But the Digimon Emperor smirked.

"Yes it is. And you didn't bother to ask who the other trespassers we're."

"Why should I ask when I have a good enough idea of who they are?" T.K already figured out who the other 'trespassers' are. The other Digidestined. He knew that they wouldn't just sit around and not do anything to help.

"Master, Monochromon was defeated." T.K heard another familiar voice. But he figured out who this one came from. He went cold with dread. And he was unfortunately right. The Digimon beside the Emperor was Wormmon.

T.K then figured it all out.

"Ken? Is that you?" The Emperor was shocked at how he was able to figure out his identity.

He then grinded his teeth.

"Who are you!?" He yelled. "Just how do you know me!?"

His outburst itself astonished T.K. Did Ken really not remember him?

"You know who I am. I'm your classmate." That statement made Ken even angrier.

"T.K, is that really Ken?" Rhinomon asked. He was as surprised as T.K . Surprised that the once kind boy could end up as cruel as the Digimon Emperor. If he was told in the past that this would happen, he would have called whoever told him that a liar.

"That's it! I don't need this! Go Blue Meramon!" A Blue Meramon appeared after jumping from behind him. There was a black ring around his neck.

"Ice Phantom!". He lunged at T.K but Rhinomon blocked the attack with his body. But he wasn't even hurt.

"Got to do better than that, Fire Boy." He then knocked him into the air with his horn. Rhinomon himself was surprised at his new strength.

But when he was in the air Blue Meramon still had a clear enough mind to battle.

"Vision Blinder!" He created bright blue flame that blinded both T.K and Rhinomon. And BlueMeramon took this as an opportunity to attack.

"Frost Knuckle!" But Rhinomon had a different idea.

"Split Blade!" He attacked with his horn with was slightly glowing gold. And he attacked forcing him back, and cutting through the blinding blue flame.

"That's it! Ice Bomb!" He then created a ball of ice which he threw at Rhinomon. The ice was growing until it became way to big. It took up way to much space in the cavern.

"No! BlueMeramon you fool!" Ken shouted. But he didn't have to worry about that for long.

"Atomic Burst!" Rhinomon then cloaked its entire body in light and charged. And Rhinomon's speed took BlueMeramon by surprised. He broke through the ice and continued his charge into BlueMeramon, but instead of using all of his strength, he used a third of it.

Charging into BlueMeramon, the Dark Ring on BlueMeramon was destroyed. And BlueMeramon was forced into his rookie form, Candlemon.

"Great job Rhinomon! You were awesome!" T.K said.

"Tch! This won't be the last time we meet." He said before disappearing with Wormmon.

"Of course we will. We're in the same class."

Rhinomon then reverted all the way to Tokomon.

"Whew. That took a lot out of me." T.K then picked Tokomon up.

"You did a good job. I don't want to leave you in the digital world without being able to defend yourself. So come on. We're heading home."

Tokomon listened and fell asleep. Even T.K was feeling exhausted for a reason. But he left out looking for the nearest TV.

A/N: Whew. How was the second chapter. I intended for their to be more scenes for other characters at first but I got writer's block during the reunion with T.K and Patamon. Resulting in the chapter before you.
