Stranded- Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I don't own digimon… the fifth time I've said this in this story alone… -.-;
Author's Note: Uh… basically this is the fifth part. In this part… well… just read it.
Dedication: To people who hate Sorato… I totally agree with you guys…


Mimi's POV:
Darkness… all around me… surrounding me… I can't stop it… It's getting closer… closer… I feel it now… it's taking control… I fought the battle between good and evil, and evil won. Matt… I might not be able to speak to you again, but I want you to know that I'm sorry. I don't hate you, I care for you a lot. A lot more then you'll ever know… Palmon… I'm so sorry… I never meant to yell at you… I was scared; I wasn't ready to talk. But now I'm alone… everything is blurry… I don't understand… Everything… it doesn't make sense… Something in me… or on me… It's… darkness. All I see is darkness… I don't know what to do or what to say… I took a deep breath and shook my head off all thoughts. And then suddenly, all was clear. Matt… he's the enemy. I must destroy him… I must obey the Emperor… I'm sorry Matt… sorry if I hurt you… You're unconscious now… and I'm dragging you back to the Emperor's base… I never meant to hurt you Matt… I care for you so much… but I must obey… Hey, you know what they say… all's fair in love and war.

Ken's POV:
Everything was going according to plan. The girl of sincerity was turned over to my side, and the boy of friendship will be drawn here soon as well. Right now the girl was taking the boy to the dungeon. Funny, she looked sad… and my slaves are taught not to show any emotion. Oh well, it could always be worked on… Pretty soon the whole digital world will belong to me anyway. I, Ken Ichijoji, the Digimon Emperor, will rule both the digital world and the real world, and nothing, digimon or human, will stop me.


Matt's POV:
I awoke with a start. Where was I? How did I get here? I had no idea. The last thing I remember is talking to Mimi, comforting her when she was sad. So how was it that I got here? I'm not sure exactly where I am, all I know is that I'm in some sort of room. It's dank and dark, damp even. The only opening was a small door, made entirely of bars. I was also chained by my arms to the wall. It was kind of like a prison. But why was I in some sort of a prison? If Mimi was the last person or thing I had in contact with, does that mean that she did something to me? And if so, why would she? She had some sort of weird bracelet on her wrist that I had never seen before, but what could some stupid bracelet do? And if Mimi did something to me, did this have anything to do with what *really* happened in the woods when I was looking for her? I just don't understand… I sighed and I started to daydream. Maybe I was dreaming. Maybe if I concentrated hard enough I would wake up and be back in my bed, at home with my father. Or at least wake up next to a campfire with Mimi at my side. Mimi… what happened to her? If I was here where was she? Is she ok?

"All that thinking must be giving you a headache Yama." I recognized the voice easily.

"Mimi! What's going on? Are you ok? How did we get here? Why aren't you chained up too? Did you free yourself?" I didn't notice her standing in the corner before.

"Enough questions Yamato, I'll answer them soon enough." I didn't even notice that she called me by my full name.

"Can you let me down from here Mimi?" I look her straight in the eye as I said this, and her eyes held a hint of sadness.

"I'm sorry Yama, I can't." I was confused. I mean; the locks around my arms and legs were easily opened. If I could reach I would've been able to open them myself. So why couldn't Mimi?

"Why not Mimi?"

"Because Yama, it's against the rules."

"The rules?" Mimi nodded and again my eyes were drawn to the dark bracelet around her wrist. My muscles tensed and my hair stood on end as I noticed the bracelet, as if there was danger. But what danger could Mimi possibly present, even with some stupid bracelet?

"Mimi, where'd you get that bracelet?" At the mention of the bracelet I noticed a change in Mimi. She became harsher, meaner.

"Yama, I thought you were smarter then that! Asking a stupid question as that! 'Where'd I get the bracelet?' Ha!" I could tell she was stalling.

"Answer the question Mimi. Where'd you get the bracelet?" Mimi smiled evilly and ooked at me with something I've seen way more times then I would have liked, hatred and contempt.

"From the master of course."

"The master?"

"That's right Yama, my master, and soon to be yours as well." I narrowed my eyes.

"I am not ruled by anyone. And neither are you Mimi. What happened to you?" Mimi looked sad.

"I'm sorry Matt, but my master has requested that you join us on the side of evil." My eyes widened.

"The side of evil? You're not evil Mimi! You're a sweet, sincere beautiful girl and I care about you way too much to see you talk about yourself like that!" Her eyes softened. Maybe I was getting through to her…

"Think about the others Mimi! Tai, Sora, Izzy, Joe, TK, and Kari! Think about Palmon! And think about your parents Mimi! You're not evil!" She looked at me sadly.

"But Yama, you don't understand, I am evil. My master has made me this way. And I have been ordered to make you join us. And you *will* join us Yamato…" Mimi took a bracelet out of her purse, similar to the one she was wearing.

"Now hold still Matt…" Mimi walked closer to me and I saw my whole life in an instant. Memories of my friends and family flashed before my eyes. Tai, always the courage leader. Sora, the mother of the group. Izzy, smart and kind, and Joe, always scared and cautious. Kari, wise behind her years. TK, my brother and one of my best friends. He's so sweet and hopeful. And my mother and father, I'll miss them so much. But most of all Gabumon… my loyal friend. Will I ever see him again? My thoughts were cut short as Mimi attached the bracelet to my wrist. Nothing happened at first. But then, the symbols glowed a deep red color and an incredible pain shot from my wrist and throughout my whole body. It was unbearable and I must of blacked out for a few minutes for when I woke up I was unchained from the wall and lying on the floor. When I opened my eyes everything became clear. Tai was an arrogant idiot, and Sora a bitchy tomboy. Izzy was a complete nerd, and Joe a geek. Kari… she's strange, and TK is a crybaby. My parents, who could care less about them? And Gabumon… loyal and sweet Gabumon… He was weak. I hated him. I got myself off the floor and looked at Mimi. Her eyes were glowing a deep red… mine must have been too.

"You know what I realized Mimi?"

"Yes Yamato?"

"Our friends are jerks. They left us here… didn't even wait for us when we needed help!" Mimi smiled.

"You're finally getting it Yamato…" I smirked and picked Mimi up, sweeping her up into a deep kiss. Something inside me kept telling me what I was doing, what I was thinking, was wrong. But who cares? I don't have a conscience anymore.

"Thanks for helping me see the light Meems. If I wasn't so evil right now I might even love you for it." Mimi smiled up and me and pulled me into another kiss.

"With our masters help we will finally be able to get revenge on them Yama."

"Of course Mimi. Our master has given us power and love. We will prevail and beat their goody-two-shoe asses."

"I'm glad to see you're finally seeing things my way, Friendship." A new voice had spoken. The voice of my master. The voice of Ken Ichijoji. The voice of the Digimon Emperor.

Ken's POV:
"I'm glad to see you're finally seeing things my way, Friendship." I spoke, making my presence known. I had been watching my slaves on my monitor throughout their whole conversation. I was incredibly surprised by the amount of love they showed towards each other. But even with me being a genius I have to realize that sometimes love conquers everything. Well, almost everything.

"Master!" the two slaves spoke at once, and in a second they were kneeling before me with their heads bowed. I couldn't help smiling a little.

"You may stand up." My two newest slaves, the digidestined of Sincerity and Friendship stood before me, ready to do anything I wanted. It was almost too good to be true.

"What are your commands Master?" Friendship spoke, and I knew right then that he would come out to be a loyal slave, just like Sincerity.

"We will start by taking control of File Island. From there we will move on to Server and other places. For now I want you two to make sure your little digimon friends don't cause any trouble." I tossed them each a dark ring. They looked down at the rings and appeared to be thinking. This was the test. Would they harm their digimon? Are they truly loyal? My answer came as Sincerity bowed.

"As you wish master." The two of them scurried out of the base and off towards where they last left their digimon. I couldn't help but shed an evil laugh as I turned to my monitor, where the picture showed two scared looking digimon.

Palmon's POV:
Mimi, where are you? You've been missing for days… both you and Matt. Gabumon and I are so worried. We aren't eating, aren't sleeping. We've been sitting here… waiting for your return. Agumon and the other digimon went out looking for you, but they haven't found anything. Where did you two go? Are you ok? Please come back… we need you…
