Part 6:

"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!"

Davis wiggled and struggled to get free, but the Emperor's grasp was tight. Davis then used his feet, and kicked the Emperor in the chin, causing him to loosen his grip. Davis jumped out and grabbed the sword that he had dropped before. He held the blade out at the Emperor,"Let's finish this once and for all!"


Elsewhere....

"Excellent work, 16," Datamon said, as the genetically created Digidestined walked into his lab,"You do earn your keep around here."

"Thank you," 16 said, bowing in front of him,"I live to serve Myotismon."

Inside, however, his mind kept thinking about what Kari said to him in the hospital room. Part of Tai's genetic structure was used in creating him, did that really mean that Tai's personality was part of him, too? Was that why he only took the codes from Tai's mind, and why he used the same helmet to wake him up? Deep inside of 16, parts of him he didn't know existed started to awaken.

"Now," Datamon said, turning to the giant computer in front of him,"I will enter the codes you have given me and I will be able to enter Izzy's computer system and steal what we need."

He started typing on a console. "And soon we will bring this world to its foundations!"

He and 16 watched the screens. Four red columns appeared on the left one, and four appeared on the right one. Words appeared at the bottom of the main one,"Running download now....."

The red on the first column began to disappear, and the first column on the right started to fill with red. If was five minutes before the first column on the right was totally filled with red. Then, suddenly, the words changed to,"Download stopped, one virus has been found. Virus destroyed, it is recommended that you do not continue.."

"Drat!" Datamon said, slamming his fist down,"At least we got one. And its the most important one of all!"



Back at Izzy's apartment, he and Sora, with their Digimon, were just running into his room. He quickly ran over to his desk and started typing. When the screen asked for codes, he typed in,"Hiora."

"Hiora?" Sora asked,"Wait, 'Hikari' and 'Sora'? Let me guess, Tai made up the password."

"How did you ever guess?" Izzy asked, as four columns appeared on the screen. One was missing its red color and the words at the bottom of the screen read,"Files downloaded, one of four."

"Uh, Izzy," Sora said, walking over to him,"What does that mean?"

"Datamon got one of the files."

"Which one?" Tentomon asked.

"Hmm," Izzy said, starting to type,"Datamon was able to steal one file, before my secondary system defensises kicked in and introduced a nasty virus onto his system."

"So we're safe?" Biyomon asked.

"I highly doubt that Datamon's computer would not be able to handle my simple virus. Anyway, which one did he get?"

He started typing again and the screen popped up with the file names. "Let's see here," Izzy said,"Files present: Digivice Schematics, Defense Files, Digidestined Directory...That means..."

"He got the Digital Gate."

"What?" Biyomon and Sora asked.

"Datamon stole the Digital Gate from my computer!" Izzy said.

"That isn't good!" a voice said.

They quickly spun around and saw a teenage girl with goggles on top of brown hair. She was wearing an orange cloak and a red jumpsuit. Behind her, a short girl with red hair walked in, typing away on her laptop. She wore a purple shirt and jeans.

"Who are you?" Izzy asked,"This is my house!"

"Easy!" the brown haired girl said, holding up her hands,"I'm a friend."

"Then who are you?" Sora asked, menacingly.

"To you," she said,"I'm more. My name is Kasumi Kamiya."

"No she's not!" the red haired girl said, her eyes opened wide as she shook her head from side to side.

"Yes, I am. I'm your daughter....mom."

"No she's not!" Kasumi's friend tried again,"We're all a little worried about her, mom's going to take her to the psychiatrists's office soon!"

Kasumi turned to her,"Shut up!" She turned back to the others,"This is Erika Izumi, your daughter, Izzy."

Erika through her arms up in the air. "Great! Just great! The time line can now be totally thrown off course."

"It all ready is!" Kasumi yelled,"Remember the Kamiya Destroyer? The one that became Digidestined 16?"

The two of them suddenly remembered the others in the room. They turned and saw their parents staring at them with wide eyes. "You...your my daughter?" Sora asked.

Kasumi nodded.

"I...you look exactly like your father!"

"She acts like him too," Gary said, stepping inside, with the rest of the Digidestined from the future.

"Gary!" Sora said,"Guess what? Your parents are together again!"

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Sora quickly retold the story of what happened earlier this evening.

"Well," Todd said,"At least you still have a future."

"What do you mean?" Sora asked.

"We've all ready gone past the time where my father was supposed to find me in Datamon's lab. If he doesn't find me, I don't turn out the way I do now. I'm probably going to be one of Datamon's evil creations," he said, crossing his arms and staring at his feet.

"Actually," Erika said,"Time has been thrown off course all ready, but you're still here. Since you are the child of T.K. and Kari, but where created in a lab, there can be only one explanation why you're still here."

"You don't mean...?" Sora asked.

Erika nodded.

"But-but age wise..."

Erika shook her head.

"Oh man," Sora said, plopping down onto Izzy's bed with her hand on her head,"I warned her! I warned her! and what do I tell her? What do I tell Tai?"

"Chances are, she all ready knows."

"What about my parents?" Sabrina asked, trying to change the subject.

"Your mother should wake up soon," Sora said,"And your father is fighting the Digimon Emperor!"

"Oh no!" Kasumi said,"That's the battle that starts Myotismon's take over!"

"We have to get to the hospital!" Sabrina said,"And quickly."

They quickly pilled out, but Erika waited until they all left, before turning to her father. He hadn't said anything, was it because he was shocked?

"Um, dad?" she asked, meekly as they started to walk out,"H-how come you haven't said anything yet?"

"I..I'm just at a loss for words," he said,"I-I mean, who is you mother? When will I meet her?"

Erika half smiled,"In an attempted to keep the risk of me disappearing at a minimum, all I'll say is, you'll meet her soon. Actually, you and Joe will meet your future brides on the same day."

"Really?" Izzy asked,"Joe and I will set into motion the chain of events that will lead to the birth of you and Blue, on the same day. Amazing."


Davis and the Emperor had fought their way onto a roof. Their swords were clashing with such might, that sparks were flying. Davis swung for the Emperor's legs, but he jumped up and kicked Davis in the face. He fell to the ground, the sword flying from his hand. The Emperor brought his blade to slice Davis's head, but Davis grabbed the hilt and stopped the sword from coming down.

They both struggled, then Davis kicked the Emperor in the stomach. He staggered back and dropped his sword. Davis stood up and breathed heavily as he watched the Emperor.

"Do you think that stopped me?" the Emperor asked.

"All I know is," Davis said, charging the Emperor,"I've learned you are too dangerous to be here! I'll stop you, even if it means killing myself!"

Davis grabbed the Emperor and charged him over to ledge of the building.

Michael, Willice, Rosa, and Sergi looked on in horror. "They're going to kill each other!" Sergi shouted.

"Seadramon!" Michael ordered.

"I got you," his Digimon said, slithering over to the side of the building. He raised his head and caught the two falling enemies on his head.

"Davis!" Willace yelled, running over to where Seadramon was dropping them,"What is the matter with you? Trying a stunt like that?!"

"Had to get rid of him," Davis said, staggering around,"Now, he's still here!"

"Not as you think," Micheal said.

"Huh?" Davis asked, turning around. The other human on the ground was standing up. He no longer had his goggles and his fancy clothes. He looked up at Davis.

"Thank you," he said,"You've helped me get rid of the darkness in my heart. All this bad stuff that I've done, I want to help."

"Really?" Davis asked.

Ken nodded. "You've got me, if you want me."

"I don't know," he said,"I'll have to talk to Tai, but...I believe you. I'll put in a good word for you."
