Digimon Fan Fic: Inside the Mind of an Emperor

Chapter 4

By Ken Ichijouji

"Ken, Ken, Ken wake up! Ken wake up!"
Ken slowly comes to not realizing what exactly is going on. He looks up in Kari's concerned eyes.
"Wha...what happened?" he says still a bit out of it.
"I dunno! I came in and I found you on the ground. No one's here! We better find Davis and the others."
Kari grabs Ken by his right arm and helps him to his feet. He gets up slowly holding his head.
"Ugh, I have the biggest head ache..." he says wearily with squinting eyes.
After Ken is back to feeling more like himself, Kari walks to the hallway to see if there's any signs of life.
"Helloooooo?" she says looking down the hallways both ways. "No one's there. It's like everyone disappeared and I can't find the others with my digivice."
Ken comes up behind Kari and looks out to see where everyone is. "I don't like this...We better check to see where everyone is."
"Do you think this has something to do with digimon?" she asks.
"I don't know, Kari."
Kari and Ken leave the classroom and begin to walk down the empty hallway. The hallway is filled with papers and books scattered about.
"What happened here?!"
"I dunno Ken, but.."
Suddenly the lights go out. Total darkness engulfs the school. A complete silence covers the hallway.
"Great..." says Ken putting his hand to his forehead in the darkness.
"Well, it could get worse."
And on the command, there is a flash and Davis appears.
"Ahh!!"
"Ekkk!"
"Hey Ken, hey Kari!"
"Davis!! Don't do that!"
"Oh, heh, sorry Kari," he says with an embarrassed smile. "Have guys notice that the school is completely empty and the lights are out?"
"Naw, really?" says Ken sarcastically. "Just what is going on here? And where is Yolei, T.K., and Cody?"
"I dunno. You two are the first people I've seen since everything went black."
"This is getting weird and scary.." she says while looking around.
"Listen, Davis you stay with Kari. I'm gonna go get some flashlights from the janitor's room. I will be right back."
"No way dude!! You can't go off on your own!!" 'Actually if he goes and gets the flashlights, Kari will see him as the hero and me as the zero' "Let me do it Ken. I can handle it."
"No Davis. I want you to protect Kari. I uh, I'm too weak to protect her. I know you can do it Davis," he says knowing this will get Davis to stay with Kari.
"Really!? All right! I'll do it!" he says flaunting a big smile.
"Then it's settled. I'll go get the flash lights and you'll stay with Kari."
'What? These guys think I can't protect my self. Hmph!' Kari says to herself with a little smirk.
Ken and Davis both nod in agreement and Ken runs off into the darkness.
'I hope he'll be OK....' Kari thinks.

Ken finally finds the janitors room and starts to open the door to get the flashlights. He reaches in and pulls out two flashlights. He turns them on to see if they still have any power.
"Yes! They still work."
Suddenly he hears footsteps coming from behind him.
"Davis......I thought you were staying with Kari..Davis? Davis? What the...AHHHHHHH!!!!"

"Davis, did you hear that? Was that Ken!? We better go help him!!"
"Come on, I know where the janitor's room is. After all I did have to clean up that day after that food fight hehe," he says while dragging her arm, leading her to the janitor's room.
"Look! I can see the light!" Kari says pointing to the flashlight that is rolling on the ground. "Oh my God, Ken!"
"He's gone!!"
