Sakura headed back to the digital world after her nap and smiled as Wormmon digivolved into his champion form.
Wormmon digivolve to …………… Stingmon.
Sakura hugged Stingmon for a moment and giggled as he picked her up. She closed her eyes and smiled as Stingmon carried her off to destroy control spires. She sat on a rock as he took out a spire and smiled as he sat down next to her.
"I hope the Japanese digidestined can stop the Kaiser. Even if I haven't meet them, I still feel as if I am part of them," Sakura said to Stingmon as she stood up and looked at the remains of the spire.
The Digimon Kaiser smiled from atop his ride, an Airdramon and prepared himself to take out the lone digidestined.
"Wormmon, have the Mammathmon deal with her digimon, I will deal with her myself," The Kaiser hissed as he pulled out his whip.
Stingmon went on full attack once the Mammathmon attacked and Sakura was left to fight the Kaiser himself. It was the first time she had seen him up close and wondered why she all of a sudden felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her stomach. The Kaiser took advantage of her distracted state and wrapped his whip around her ankles with a flick of his wrist. He pulls at the end of the whip and grinned as the girl fell to the ground.
"Pity you are too weak to stop me from killing you and being rid of one annoying digidestined," The Kaiser hissed as he sat on the girl's hips and held down her arms with his legs.
Sakura almost cried as the Kaiser pulled out a knife and put it to her throat. He grinned at her and she could almost swear that in his eyes was a glimmer of sadness. Stingmon finished off the Mammathmon and charged at the Kaiser as he raised the knife to slit Sakura's throat.
"Spiking strike," Stingmon called as a purple blade appeared from his wrist and lunged at the Kaiser.
The Kaiser moves out of the way in time and Stingmon stopped his attack mere inches from Sakura's stomach. Stingmon looked at the Kaiser as Sakura stood up and hissed as the Kaiser ran away to escape on his Airdramon. Sakura sat down on the ground and began to cry as she thought how close to death she had almost come to. She began to sod as Stingmon knelt down and hugged her close, trying to comfort her.
"It is okay, you are safe now and he is gone," Stingmon cooed as he lifted Sakura into his arms.
"One flick of his wrist and that knife would have cut my throat. I could have died by the Kaiser's own hands," Sakura croaked as she closed her eyes and let the tears fall.
Stingmon carried Sakura back to the digiport and dedigivolved to Wormmon as Sakura got out her D-3. She picked him up and closed her eyes as she was sucked into the real world again. Once she got home, Sakura lay on her bed and cried herself to sleep as Wormmon snuggled up against her.
Ken sat on his throne as he watched the scene with the girl replay on the view screens. He had held the very threads of her life in his hand and was ready to cut them while her digimon was distracted. She was totally unable to fight back against him to save her very life from the brink of death. It was a rush of power and darkness he felt as he watched the tape and remembered the way she acted. She acted as if her life was going to end and he was the one killing her. Not some digimon he controlled or a virus digimon working on it's own means, but his very glove covered hands.
"What power I weald over that girl. I held her life in my royal hands. She was prepared to die at the moment, struck down by the Kaiser himself. I must control that girl, she will feed the darkness in me with her weakness and allow me to destroy the other digidestined," Ken mused as he turned off the screens.
Ken headed back to the real world and search the Internet for the identity of the girl. He smiled as he found the information in her American school records.
"Sakura Starfire, age, 11, current schooling, Tamachi Elementary. How lovely, she goes to my school. Be ready Cherry blossom, the Kaiser comes for your soul," Ken mused as he shut down his computer for the night.
Ken slipped into bed after washing up and smiled evilly as he fell to sleep, dreaming of controlling sweet Sakura Starfire.
