Mind of an Empress

I do not own Digimon, unfortunately (although it may be seen as a blessing). I do not intend any copyright infringement with this fanfiction, and I am making no money from it. Also, this story contains YAOI. Which means male/male relationships. So if this bothers you, I'd appreciate your not reading this, and especially not flaming or anything. Although constructive criticism is appreciated. Anyway, on with the show!

"Ow!" Hikari gave a squeak as she heard Daisuke's cry of pain from outside, and hurried over to the piled snow.
"Dai-chan, what happened?" She whirled to stare at Koushiro. "What happened, Koushiro?" He quailed under her gaze before responding.
"I think she'd blocked her mansion better than I thought. Apparently, if anyone got in, it was Ken."
"IF?" Takeru was blanching noticably. "Do you mean he could-"
"Yes, but no. I've got him on the tracking devices, and he's in the fortress...uh oh. All right; we've got to go now!"
* * *
"I do appreciate you dropping by; I hold a special grudge towards you." Ken tried to scramble back, but a wave from her gun made him freeze.
"W-why?" She smiled thinly.
"Because I'm positive your betrayal destroyed her concentration, put her on edge. Otherwise, they'd all be dead by now, and you'd be a duke of Japan, or England, or New York City, for god's sake!"
"But I wouldn't have Takeru." Maria screamed angrily, tossing her gun aside, and stormed over to a bank of computers.
"Yes, that little blond boy; he *is* cute. Maybe I'll keep him around after I've destroyed the other Digidestined for a little...fun." Ken shuddered at her words, and found himself staring at the pistol. He suddenly remembered what he had thought the moment he had entered the Digiworld. If the Digiworld was only data, you could control it with minor feats of programming. He reached out his mind, trying to seek out the bits making up the room, and everything around it.
"Mom, he's trying to manipulate the data streams." Ken shot his head up, and saw a pretty, 16-year-old girl standing in the center of the command center. She looked concerned, and at her warning, Maria stormed back over to him. She snatched up the weapon, and glared at him.
"Listen, boy, I realize we have our differences, but I believe in what I'm doing. I can make the world a better place, and so I'm doing what I need to. I know you see me as a devil, and hate me because I'm limiting personal freedom, but I had no real grudge. Not until the group of you-" She broke off, and sobbed. She pointed the gun at Ken's chest, and hissed, "Before you die, I want you to tell me what you think of me. I want you to die cursing my name." Ken stared at her, and opened his mouth. But he stopped. And he realized the truth.
"I don't hate you, Maria-san." She paused, the gun wavering.
"Why?" She steadied her hand, aiming the gun at his chest. He sighed.
"Because you need help; you're troubled, and you need professional help." She grimaced.
"I'm fine. I just want to take over the world." But her voice had a slight waver, as if she was trying to convince herself of what she was saying.
"Maria, you've been confused. You-you feel the need to do things like this for attention, for power. You don't think that you can make a difference legally. You-"
"SHUT UP!" The gun was wavering, but still aimed at Ken's chest. "I don't want to hear what's wrong with me! Tell me that you hate me. Tell me now, or I promise God that I'll shoot you." Ken inhaled slowly.
"Maria, you're not evil. I can see things like this. You're just human, and if you can find someone to talk to, you can get better." Maria let her hand waver, and the gun dropped. She raised her free hand to her head, running it through her long, blond hair.
"You may be-" But an explosion rocked the building from outside, and her face contorted with rage. "A diversion! Damn you!" She stalked over to Ken, pulled him up from the floor, and pressed the gun to the bottom of his chin, aiming for his brain. "All right, let's cripple this attack plan."
* * *
"Whoo-hoo!" Daisuke laughed as the fortress wall crumbled. He was sitting next to Hikari on Angewomon, approaching the floating fortress. Suddenly, the wall healed itself, and the image of Maria appeared on the black stone. She smiled grimly at the group.
"Well, I see you've dropped by here. Lovely, sending the blue-haired kid to confuse me while you track me down. But we are now at an impasse." She gestured, and the entire image became visible. Maria was holding a gun to Ken, such that the blast would blow his brains out if she fired. "So, here's your choice: leave now, and I keep him as insurance, or come on inside, and he'll be dead before you get to the front door." A faint gasp could be heard from Takeru.
"Please, don't-" The blond laughed at his obvious distress.
"Yes, you two just found each other, didn't you? That will make this equally satisfying. In fact, I really don't care if you come in here or not. I'll just-" She broke off as the image vanished. A moment later, a gunshot echoed through the fortress. Takeru shouted an order to Angemon, and the Digimon smashed a hole in the fortress. His anger seemed to have no bounds as the angel Digimon continued to destroy the front of the fortress.
* * *
Ken was breathing hard, staring with wide eyes at the smoking gun.
"Why did you-" She cut him off with a word.
"I'm trying to keep them distracted. This building is self-renewing, so they can't break through the walls. With Takeru so upset, they won't realize that." She smiled. "So I'll be able to kill you at my leisure." She reached over, and grabbed his hand in her own. She squeezed tighter and tighter, until a loud crack resounded around the chamber. Ken screamed, and Maria only smiled. She stepped back, and pulled an item from a nearby table. "You remember this, don't you?" She raised the neuronic whip over her head, and brought it down with a loud electronic crack. Ken's screams were deafening, echoing every ounce of pain he felt. Maria threw the whip aside and drove her heel into Ken's instep. "How do you like that?" He bit his lip, trying to hold back his screams. "Now, how do you feel about me?" Ken looked sadly at her, even through the intense pain.
"I pity you; you have to do this to feel better than me. But we can still get you-" She punched him in the stomach, and slashed her nails across the face, letting them dig in deep enough to leave scars.
"Tell me you hate me! SAY IT!" Ken shook his head, looking up into her blue eyes. His own violet ones were tinged with sadness.
"I can't. I don't hate you. You need help; I want to help you." She glared at him, and screamed in rage. She leapt forward, and raked her claws over a vein in Ken's left wrist. She smiled as the blood began to well out.
"Tell me you hate me!" Ken looked up sadly as he felt unconsciousness slip into his mind.
"I don't; I forgive you." And then he fell down into blackness.
* * *
"Is he going to be all right?" Ken heard Takeru's worried voice, and wanted sorely to sit up and affirm that he would be all right; but he was so tired...
"He'll be fine; he's just lost a lot of blood. I'm getting him hydrated so he can remake the blood he lost." Jyou. Ken vaguely felt that his left wrist was bound in bandages.
"Don't bother with that." A pained voice interrupted their conversation, which could have been Maria, but- "There, he'll be fine in a moment." There was the sound of high heels clicking on the floor, and then a faint sobbing.
"Ken-chan? Ken-chan? Can you hear me?"
"Sure I can, 'm just tired..." Ken was elated he'd finally gotten some words out, but somehow his body still wasn't responding well. "What happened?" Suddenly, he felt something drag him upward and wrap around his chest.
"Oh, thank God you're all right. After we heard the gunshot, we thought-so I was trying to blast down the front door. And then, suddenly the whole front of the fortress disintegrated." Ken finally managed to open his eyes, revealing the blue-eyed blond's concerned face. He extricated his arms from the all-encompassing hug he was in, managed to get himself sitting up, and then leaned on Takeru.
"Go ahead," he murmured, his head resting on the other boy's shoulder.
"Well, we came in here, and we found you bleeding on the floor, and Maria sobbing in a corner, so Jyou wrapped you up and Sora and Mimi are trying to get something out of Maria, and the rest of us are looking for anyone who may need help in here." Takeru raised Ken's face to look into his violet eyes. "I'm so glad you're all right. I don't know what I'd do if she had-"
"Shh, it's all right, Take-chan. It's all right. I'm safe, and-" He suddenly slipped back into unconsciousness.
* * *
"Hello? Is somebody out there?" Taichi froze. He turned to Hikari, who also appeared stunned.
"Could that be Gennai?" She shrugged her shoulders, but pointed forward.
"He's that way, though. Probably imprisoned somewhere." They continued through the maze of dungeons.
* * *
"Ken! Ken! What happened to him?" Takeru was holding his love's head gingerly, and looking around frantically. Maria glanced up for a moment, but lost interest, resuming to her mourning. Jyou took Ken's pulse, and frowned.
"He's in shock, I think. He's been through quite a lot, and I wouldn't blame him. He doesn't have a concussion or anything, so he'll wake up fine in a while." Takeru carefully arranged Ken so that the boy's head was resting in his lap.
"All right, then I'll just wait here till he wakes up."
* * *
"Thank goodness you've found me; that witch locked me in here days ago." Gennai stood up, and walked over to Taichi, shaking the man's hand. "Incidentally, where's that blond boy? I'd expect you two to have gone together." Hikari took the oppurtunity to add her two cents.
"We thought they'd get nothing done if they looked together. They'd probably find Maria's bedroom and-"
"We weren't about to let you and Daisuke wander around alone!" Taichi protested. Hikari blushed, grinning.
"Wonderful, you two, but we have to make sure that things follow their proper path now. Maria doesn't belong here, and must leave."
* * *
Maria glanced up and saw that old wise man enter with the six searchers. She felt the urge to hiss at them, but restrained herself. A moment later, Izumi Koushiro entered, carrying his stupid little computer. She knew what he'd been up to, and wished she could tear his eyes out. He'd done the equivalent of raping Chelsea, searching through the code that made her *her.* She didn't have a clue what made up Chelsea, and she was the girl's *mother!* She felt her maternal instincts rising for the sake of the computer program. She glanced at the nearest computer terminal, and muttered at it,
"Chelsea, return to the real world. I've failed, but I'm going to take down at least one of them with me." The computer radiated grim satisfaction; the girl was angry about what had been done to her. Good. The awareness began to leave the computers, and Maria tensed. In a moment, she could spring on that redhead and try to kill him. Perhaps that stupid bug would stop her, but she could try...
"Maria Byles. You have lost. Why can't you understand that?" She whirled around to face the old fool, Gennai.
"It's not over until you give me one good reason why I shouldn't continue. You can make me leave the Digiworld, but only I can stop the snow."
"Your parents, your sister, her husband, your two neices, and one nephew," Ken said from the corner of the room, pushing himself up from his recumbent position. "Seven reasons to stop this; They're being punished as much as the guilty." And Maria felt all will to continue leave her.
"I have two things to do before I leave," she muttered. She walked to the window, and looked at the snow in a peculiar way. It stopped. "It will begin receding immediately, and it will be gone within the week." Then, she walked over to the wall, and depressed it with her hand. Her Digivice slid out, an item colored as the night. She looked at it, and threw it to the ground. The black shattered, and a normal Digivice remained. She picked it up, walked over to Ken, and handed it to him.
"What's this?" he asked suspiciously, looking at it.
"It is the Digivice meant for you. Gennai told me I had stolen the Digivice from one who would have received it, and that when he revealed his strength, I should give it to him." She reached into her pocket, and pulled out her crest. This she dropped, where the outer layer shattered, like the shell of an egg. "The Crest of Kindness. Only one who is truly kind can defeat a woman like me. Force would have broken me; reason and logic could not defeat my words. Only the show of kindness, the act of forgiving the me for killing you, could show me my folly. I am ready to go."
* * *
"As the snows recede from the warmer countries, and the world begins to enter its routine again, those responsible for it have been convicted in one of the quickest and most decisive trials in history. Maria Byles, acting CEO of Tetra, Inc., declared full responsibility for the weather fluctuations, which alone could not have convicted her. She had no proof that she had caused this. However, she admitted to being the second-in-command of Alexandra Bonjears, known as La Reine. She also confessed to over 75 different felonies, and hundreds of minor crimes. She was then sentenced to life without parole in the 1.5-minute deliberation period. In local news-" Taichi switched off the television, and grinned at Yamato. He snuggled up to his boyfriend, who returned the affection.
"Ai shiteru, Yama-chan." Yamato smiled, draping one arm over Taichi's shoulders.
"Ai shiteru, Tai-chan." They sat like this for another five minutes before Yamato looked down at his watch. "Weren't we suppsed to get to the restaurant half an hour ago?" Taichi started, and sat staight up.
"God, Hikari's gonna kill me!" Yamato gave a slight smile.
"Nah, she'll be too busy making out with Daisuke to notice anything. The only one I'd worry about is Sora." The two men hurried to get ready and get to the restaurant for a mundane dinner with the rest of the Digidestined. With Alexandra gone, and Maria incarcerated for her numerous crimes against humanity, the criminal organization collapsed, and Tetra, Inc. was taken over by Microsoft. And the Digidestined's lives finally returned to normal. Well...sort of.
"Yamato! Get back here with my shirt!"
* * *
Finally! The end! I had fun writing it, and I hope you liked reading it (Geuss what? That means I'd like feedback.) I've been planning a sequel, but I'd like FEEDBACK first. Thanks, and so long!
