Part 5:

Davis's forces stared down the Digimon Emperor himself. "So," Davis said,"You've come yourself, huh? But how did you get here?"

He smiled,"Digidestined 16 teleported me here."

Williace then asked the obivious,"But, you're alone."

"I know that you fool!" the Emperor yelled,"He brought me here, then went after our target."

"Tai!" Michael yelled, turning around to run back into the hospital, but a Devidramon dropped down in front of him, blocking the way. He ran to get around him, but another one dropped down. Soon, the entire hospital was quarantine by a group of large dragons.

"You can not escape me," the Emperor said,"The only way to get inside the hospital, is by defeating me!"

The five Digidestineds stood grimly. "Davis," Sergi said,"You're the senior officer here, what do we do?"

Davis thought for a moment. He and Veemon were the only ones that fought the Emperor out of the five of them, plus, they needed to help Kari and T.K. protect Tai, Digidestined 16 was extremely powerful, Angemon and Angewomon couldn't do it alone.

"Guys," Davis said, reaching for the D-terminal,"Focus on getting through the Devidramon."

"What about the Emperor?" Willace asked.

"I'll handle him. Go."

"Good luck," Willace said, moving towards the soldiers blocking the hospital.

"So?" the Emperor sneered,"Let's do it!" He raised his whip, about to call a Digimon, when Davis told him to wait.

"Let's forget Digimon," he said, placing the D-terminal back in his pocket,"No Digimon. This isn't about the Digimon Emperor or The Holder of Courage and Friendship, this is about Ken Ichijoji and Davis Motomiya, you and me!"

"Very well," the Emperor said, throwing off his cape,"Let's go!"


"Mimi", he said, walking towards her, Garurumon at his feet. His face was emotionless, but Mimi knew how he must be tearing up inside. This was hurting him to do this to her. "Give up now, please, I can promise that the police will be easy on you."

"But Matt," she said,"I didn't do it!" She could feel Palmon crouching defensively, ready to strike if necessary.

Matt shook his head. He looked at Mimi, scaring her with his cold eyes. "Mimi, I gave you your last chance. Garurumon go!"

Palmon shot her Poison Ivy, attaching it to a telephone pole. She quickly pulled Mimi with her, out of Garurumon's way.

"Matt!" Mimi said, standing up,"I..I wanted this to be a surprise, but....I'm pregnant."

"Garurumon, stop!" he yelled, staring at her,"You're what?"

"Pregnant," she said,"You and me, we're going to have a child. A little baby like Tai and Sora."

"M-me?" Matt asked, studdering,"I-I'm the father?"

She nodded.

"You're lying!" Matt yelled, straightening up,"You have to be! Yeah, that's it!"

"I have the Crest of Sincerity," she said,"I can't lie."

Matt slid to the ground, his back against the wall. "Matt?" Mimi asked, running up to him.

"You're right," he said,"You can't lie, that means you were telling the truth about Tai."

She nodded, happy that she finally convinced him. She reached over and started hugging him.

"Great job Matt! You got her!"

The two lovers looked up and saw the rest of the Digidestined approaching them.

"Now we can take her in," Izzy said.

"No, listen to me," Matt said,"Mimi is innocent. She told us she didn't shoot Tai, and because she has the Crest of Sincerity, she can't lie! She didn't do it!"

"You can't base your rational on that!" Joe said,"When she shot Tai, her crest became corrupted!"

"She's innocent!"

They looked up and saw Sora ridding Birdramon down towards them. She quickly told them what happened with Digidestined 13 and how Myotismon is going to steal certain computer files.

"What computer files?" Matt asked, turning to Izzy.

"A while ago, Tai wanted me to start keeping certain files on certain things. He wanted me to keep them a secret so that you wouldn't be tempted to look at them."

"What do you mean?" Cody asked, feeling betrayed that their leader wouldn't tell them everything that was happening.

"Let's just say this," Izzy said,"There are certain files about you. More specifically, how you can be defeated if you turn rouge."

"Wait," Matt said,"Digidestined 16 is a combination of Tai, T.K., Kari, and myself, along with Piedmon, Lady Devimon, Machinedramon, and Metalseadramon, right?"

The others nodded, worried. How could Matt forget about that?

"Then we can use this...Rouge Files, to defeat him."

"That's a great idea!" Izzy said,"But, I've got to get back to my house and move those files, quickly, before Datamon steals them."

"I'll go with you," Sora said.

"The rest of us will go back to the hospital and help Davis and the others," Matt said.


Kari stood right at his side, ready to protect her unconscious brother, no matter what. T.K. stood in front of both of them, staring down the human that just walked into the room, the one with the large black wings, the swords crossed on his back, the metal skin, and the long tail.

"Digidestined 16," T.K. said,"You're not coming into this room."

The created human smiled,"Watch me!" With simple ease he walk in, grabbed T.K. and through him out of the way.

"T.K.!" Kari yelled. T.K. slowly got up from where he slammed into the wall. Kari turned back towards 16.

"Lady's choice," he said,"You know you can't beat me, why even try?"

He was right. What use could she be to Tai dead? She slowly got up and stepped out of the way. 16 smiled and walked over, placing a helmet device on Tai's head.

"What are you doing to him?" Kari yelled.

"This device will....basicly drain his brain."

"What?" Kari yelled, moving towards them. Dead or not, she had to stop this.

16 grabbed one of his swords and pointed it at Kari's neck,"Come any closer, and I'll kill you too!"

Kari backed up and 16 started to push buttons into the helmet.

"Don't do this," she pleaded,"You're part of us, correct?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Then you won't leave my brother catatonic. You can't. Find the part of you that is Tai, find his good spirit. Find it, and you know you can't do this! Please."

16 stopped for a moment, as if he was contemplating something. He then reached over and pushed as large green button on the helmet. A second later the light turned red.

"Goodbye to you all," 16 said, lifting the helmet off, then he teleported out.

Kari fell to the ground, crying her eyes out. Her brother's mind was gone, he was brain dead.

"Kari," a weak voice said,"why are you crying?"

She quickly stood up and stared in the direction of the voice. "Tai!" she yelled.

Her older brother smiled back at her.

"Oh Tai!" she cried, hugging her brother. She started sobbing,"Tai, you're okay. You're okay!"


Outside the Emperor reached inside the cape he through to the ground and pulled out two swords. He through one to Davis and said,"I, Ken Ichijoji, the Digimon Emperor, do hereby issue a duel!"

"I, Davis Motomiya, Holder of Courage and Friendship, do accept!"

He lunged forward and struck, but the Emperor blocked. He struck again, but the Emperor blocked it again. It all happened so fast that the other Digidestined stop their battle with the Devidramon and watched, amazed at the speed these two enemies were attack each other. It seamed that with every blast of lighting, the two swords hit each other.

It was hard to tell who was the better swordsman, because they were so evenly matched! But, eventually, Davis's luck ran out, because, the Emperor caught him in one bad strike, and backhanded him, sending him crashing into a nearby building. The Emperor was on him in seconds and had his hands around Davis's neck as he held him up to the wall.

"Now you die!"
