Chapter Five
Ken looked down at Jake and felt very bad for what he did.
"I'm sorry.", Ken whispered.
Suddenly the Dark Ring that had been put around his neck doubled it's hold on him and he forgot that Jake was a friend.
Stingmon had a Dark Ring around his arm and it was controlling him as well.
"Get those two to the master as fast as you can! I'm going to get a promotion for this!", Arukenimon ordered.
Just then, two Digimon and they're human friends appeared.
"Thunder Blast!", Raidramon roared.
"Tempest Wing!", Halsemon added.
Both attacks blasted Ken and Stingmon away from Jake and Darkagumon.
"Ken?! What the...?!", Davis said when he saw who had attacked Jake.
"I'm no longer Ken! I'm the Digimon Emperor!"
Stingmon recovered and attacked Raidramon.
"Hey! We're friends! Remember?!", Raidramon asked as he dodged Stingmon's attacks.
Stingmon said nothing and continued his attack.
Halsemon flew down and picked up Jake and Darkagumon.
"I suggest we regroup before we do something we regret.", Halsemon said to Yoelie.
Yoelie said nothing. She couldn't believe Ken would turn on them like that.
Arukenimon transformed into her spider form and attacked.
"Spider Thread!"
Raidramon saw the attack coming and used it to his advantage.
"Fly into Arukenimon's Spider Thread, said the Raidramon to the Stingmon!"
Arukenimon's attack grabbed Stingmon and caused him to fall to the ground.
Raidramon and Davis hurried to where Halsemon was flying and they ran away.
Jake slowly awoke and realized he was no longer in the Digital World. He was laying in a strange bed and had a wet cloth on his head.
"Your awake?! Hey Davis! He's awake!", Veemon yelled.
Davis, Izzy, Willias, and Yoelie came into the room.
"You were out cold for a long time. We thought Stingmon might have done you in.", Willias explained.
"The way Veemon yells I wish had been. My head has never felt this bad, ever."
"Count yourself lucky. Stingmon's Spiking Strike is nothing to joke about.", Yoelie said with a grim face.
Jake looked around and saw Koromon laying down on a pillow, asleep.
"Koromon....?"
Hawkmon answered Jake's question.
"He'll be fine. He took a really bad hit from behind and he just needs time to heal."
Just then, Cody came rushing in.
"I came as soon as I got the E-mail! How can I help?!"
Jake held his head and winced with pain.
"Doesn't anyone whisper these days?"
Cody apologized and listened as Jake explained everything he knew.
"Arukenimon?! I thought she was gone for good?!", Cody said shocked.
"She has some sort of master that brought her back. That's about all I got before my forced nap."
Davis looked at Izzy.
"Could it be the same master as before?"
"I don't know. It doesn't sound like anything I've heard before. I guess anything is possible."
Yoelie stood up and had a very determined look on her face.
"Who cares how she came back! I say we go and save Ken!"
"What makes you think Ken wants to be saved?", Cody asked.
Yoelie couldn't believe Cody would say something like that.
"And what makes you think he doesn't want our help?!"
Jake held his head again.
"If your going to yell.....do it quietly."
Davis grabbed Yoelie and Cody and they went into the other room.
"Before you two decide to argue some more, I have something important to say."
Cody and Yoelie looked at Davis with less then pleasant looks.
"When we were battling Ken and Stingmon I saw a Dark Ring on Ken. I think Arukenimon is controlling him."
Hawkmon heard what Davis said and flew up to them.
"I saw Stingmon wearing a Dark Ring too! They must be under Arukenimon's control!"
Willias and Izzy came into the room as Hawkmon said that and they both looked at each other.
"That Control Spire! Arukenimon IS Controlling Ken!", Izzy said as he went to his computer.
Izzy brought up the map and saw something that made him gasp.
"I think we're looking at a come back tour of Mega proportions!"
Everyone looked at the map. There were several Dozen black squares that indicated Control Spires.
"And just when you thought things couldn't get any worse.", Davis moaned.
Ken looked down at Jake and felt very bad for what he did.
"I'm sorry.", Ken whispered.
Suddenly the Dark Ring that had been put around his neck doubled it's hold on him and he forgot that Jake was a friend.
Stingmon had a Dark Ring around his arm and it was controlling him as well.

"I'm no longer Ken! I'm the Digimon Emperor!"
Stingmon recovered and attacked Raidramon.

Stingmon said nothing and continued his attack.
