Disclaimer: None of the Digimon or digidestined kids belong to me. Wahhhhh! I want my own Ken! *KAWAIIIII* Only Juubei and Natsukimon, who I thought up belong to me. Unless there's a Juubei and Natsukimon somewhere in the show, in which case I don't own them either.
Ch. 3 "Darkness Before the Dawn"
Ken ran towards Juubei. "Juubei, don't go!" he yelled. "Don't leave me!" Juubei was crying while she disappeared. Then darkness seemed to fill his vision and a voice spoke in his mind. *She's not really your friend or she wouldn't leave. Look...* As Ken watched Juubei disappear she seemed to be laughing at him. *She really wanted to leave you anyway.* He could still hear her laughing.
"uh..." Ken woke up in bed, covered in sweat and breathing hard. That dream again. Why did he always see that girl laughing at him, when he had that dream. Who was she? He could almost think of her name, but it slipped away each time he tried to concentrate on her and all he could hear was her laughter. He glanced at his clock and got up. School would start soon and he had a math test. He'd get top scores again he knew. #Idiots. They're all worthless.# He'd crush them all one day. After he'd crushed the Digital World beneath his boot, he wouldn't have to deal with such rubbish. He'd be a king, a god even, in his own private world. If it weren't for those damned digidestined brats.
He heard his mom call that breakfast was ready. #I guess I'll have to endure another meal with those brainless people. I've got more intelligence in my butt than those people have in their entire heads.# Ken's eyes widened, as he had a thought. #Why must I, the most powerful person in the digital world have to endure anything. I'll just leave right now for my empire. Forever.# With that he scribbled a note saying farewell, placed it by his laptop and ported into the Digital World.
"Star blast!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The dark monster shrieked in agony as he was deleted. *You may have defeated me here, but there are other parts of me in this world. Too bad you won't live to destroy them!* The monster shot a blast of energy at Juubei which caught her off guard, as he disappeared.
Everything was dark. "Natsukimon?" she called. Her voice echoing strangely. "Anyone?" 'Was I deleted?, she thought. 'Or am I dead?' 'Ken...' Suddenly there was a rushing feeling like a cold wind going by and she hit something hard. She opened her eyes and sat up. Natsukimon was sitting next to her on a hill.
"Where are we?" she asked.
"I don't know," answered Natsukimon, "we defeated the darkness, and then we seem to have appeared somewhere else. But I don't like the look of that thing." Juubei looked toward down the hill toward the west and saw a fortress floating above the ground. "I don't like it either." There were explosions and some large digimon fighting down below. "Looks like some digidestined could use our help."
Some rockmon came running up the hill. "Juubei, we thought we saw you."
"Rockmon, what is that thing?" she asked.
"It's the Digimon Emperor's floating fortress. Take our advice. Keep running the other way. He enslaves digimon and tortures them." The Rockmon ran off into some woods.
"Natsukimon, I think we've found our new mission. We have to get rid of this Digimon Emperor. Let's try a sneak attack from inside while the Emperor is busy with the battle."
"I agree", Natsukimon replied. Juubei ran down the hill towards the fortress. 'How on earth do we get into that thing?' she wondered. Natsukimon flew up for a closer look. She came back quickly. "I think I found a door," she said.
"Great, think you could fly me up there?"
"I think so, it's not too far."
Juubei grabbed onto Natsukimon's claws and held on as her digimon strained to get her to the opening in the wall of the fortress. Juubei managed to grab the edge if it with one hand and pull herself in with Natsukimon's help. "You'd better wait here and rest Natsukimon. I'll contact you via D3 if I need you." Juubei ran off into the maze of passageways, leaving Natsukimon exhausted by the door.
"Please Ken, is all this fighting really necessary?" Wormmon tried poking Ken's leg to get his attention. He hated all this destruction. "Get away from me, you're getting slime on my pants!" Ken kicked Wormmon across the room. "And don't call me KEN!", he screamed, "Only MASTER!" Ken turned back to the screens displaying the raging battle between Kimeramon and the Digidestined. "Burn, Die all of you!" Ken laughed maniacally while Wormmon crawled out of the room. "There once was a time when you said I was cool..." Wormmon mumbled sorrowfully as he wandered aimlessly down the corridors. He passed a door in one of the walls, and was about to go by when he noticed a small gray lump huddled in the corner. He crawled over to investigate.
"Natsukimon!!! Is it you! Wake up!"
Natsukimon opened one green eye then jumped fully awake.
"Wormmon! What are you doing here?! Did the Digimon Emperor capture you ?! Where's Ken?"
Wormmon just stared at the other Digimon. "But Natsukimon, Ken IS the Digimon Emperor!"
"No! We have to warn Juubei, she's gone to defeat him!"
"Quickly follow me!" Wormmon sped off down the passages with Natsukimon close behind.
'That must be him' Juubei thought as she peeked around the corner of the door. The Digimon Emperor was too engrossed in watching the carnage on the screens to notice Juubei until he heard a yell. He turned in surprise in time to see a white boot connect with his jaw. He grabbed onto a terminal for support and rubbed his face. He stared at the figure before him. A girl about his age with funny blue hair in a ponytail with silver moons stuck in it, and dressed in some wierd white mini skirt and top with silver and blue ribbons running through it was cracking her knuckles at him.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!", he demanded.
"I should be asking that of you, your highness.", she said mockingly.
#How dare this impudent girl infiltrate his fortress and strike him. Did she think she would actually leave alive? Where the hell was Wormmon? Worthless bug...# He was about to say something dramatic about her death being at hand when something about her hair made him pause. #That hair...she..she's the one who keeps laughing at me!#
He lunged at the girl, but she quickly sidestepped, ripping off his goggles in the process. "Face me like the man you pretend to be!" she yelled. He grabbed the wall for balance and looked up at her, his face twisted with hate. Juubei gasped. It was Ken. 'Noooooooo!' her mind screamed. All she could gasp was "You!" before Ken shoved her against the wall, his hands closing over her throat. Her shock at realizing his identity had cost her dearly. Ken squeezed hard.
"Let's see if that pretty white neck of your's can go 'snap'."
'God, he's so strong!' she thought. She vainly tried to push his hands away but he just squeezed harder. She opened one eye a slit. 'What...Who did this to him?!' She thought as she saw his empty face filled with anger and hatred. She tried to reach one arm out and just managed to brush a fingertip down his cheek. "Ken...." she gasped and fainted. Ken let go and grabbed his head. It felt like it was splitting. He sank to the floor as the girl fell also.
"Ken, what have you done!" Wormmon yelled, rushing into the room. Ken looked up at Wormmon and the gray digimon beside him. "You and your little digimon friend! Take her out of here and to the dungeons. I'll deal with her later. Get out of my sight. NOW!"
Wormmon and Natsukimon dragged Juubei off down the passage, leaving Ken huddled on the floor holding his head. Finally, he looked up and noticed the monitors were empty. "Damn! Where'd they go!" He scanned the area, but didn't find anything except the smoking remains of Kimeramon. #Shit! They must already be inside. I'll send digimon to deal with them, and take care of that girl myself.# His head still aching, he quickly ran down the passages, grabbing a mini dark tyrranomon on his way.
He reached the cell where Wormmon and the little gray digimon sat near the girl. She was just regaining consciousness. He grabbed a handful of blue hair and jerked her head up. He put his lips near her ear. "I thought you were going to destroy me. Now I will destroy you before your little digidestined friends can help you." He let her head drop back to the floor and walked to the other side of the room. Wormmon followed dragging on his pant's leg.
"Ken!, Ken! Don't do this! It's Juubei! Juubei!"
Ken turned. "I know no Juubei. Dark Tyrranomon Fire Ball"
The digimon spat a fire ball that singed Juubei's clothes and knocked her against the back wall, unconscious again. Ken's head was starting to pound again. #Juubei. I've never heard that name. Or have I?#
"Dark Tyrranomon Tail Whip" The Tyrranomon smashed his tail against Juubei. Lights were starting to flash before Ken's eyes and he dropped to the floor. Images of a little girl with funny blue hair were flashing in those lights. She was laughing. *Laughing at you, at your loneliness.* "Tail Whip Again!" yelled a voice he couldn't be sure was his own. The Tyrranomon's tail caught Juubei against the wall and held her there. He was barely away of yelling and fighting by digimon and the other digidestined as they broke into the room and started helping Natsukimon attack the tyrranomon. Ken held his head as the pictures came faster, always the girl laughing until he saw another, a boy, himself. He was laughing with her. #She's not laughing at me! I'm laughing with her! She's with me!# Ken screamed in pain and ran across the room as the Tyrranomon was deleted. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! JUUUUUBEIIIII!!" He caught Juubei before she could hit the ground again, His clothes changing into his gray uniform. "I remember! I remember... Wormmon I remember. Oh Wormmon..", Ken was sobbing hysterically. "Juubei! Juubei! Wake up! Juubei!" Wormmon what have I done?! Juubei! I'm so sorry." He held her close and cried.
"Oh Ken I'm so glad you've come back", said Wormmon crying, "I forgive you for all the mean things you ever said to me."
The other digidestined stared at the scene in front of them. "WHAT the hell just happened!", yelled Davis. The other digidestined were spurred into action. TK and Cody held Davis back from beating Ken to a pulp in his vulnerable state, while Kari and Yolei tried to attend to Juubei and Ken. Ken couldn't stop the tears from coming. He saw Yolei and Kari coming towards him.
"Ken, Juubei needs medical attention, we have to get her to a hospital!" said Kari. Yolei held out her arms to help carry Juubei, but Ken jerked away. "NO! I won't let you take her, again!", he yelled. "Again?", said Yolei. "Apparently, he's not himself right now." whispered Kari.
Chaos then ensued as TK, Cody, and Davis were yelling at each other, Kari, and Yolei tried to pry Juubei out of Ken's iron grip, and the digimon ran around distressed at their partners' emotions.
"SILENCE!" a voice boomed. A little old man appeared in the middle of the room.
"Gennai!", yelled TK.
"All of you calm down, and come with me. Juubei will recieve her medical treatment and you others can have a rest. I have some news to tell you anyway. And stop looking like you're going to tear me apart, Ken, You can keep holding Juubei until we reach a bed for her. Now come!"
With that command a light flashed and the room was empty.
End Ch.3
