Chapter 5: A Fight....Lost
(A/N: Long aye? Well, it's good, right? Right? Whatever. Well, anyway, it's the best I could do! This chapter is WONDERFUL, in my opinion. Really touching. Shortest chapter probably. If someone has ideas, put them in the review. VERY CONFUSING CHAPTER!!! And a little corny.....but good story, overall. I AM SUFFERING FROM WRITERS BLOCK!!! )
Ken pulled his grey sleeves up. An icy glare engulfed his face. Ken closed his eyes. He concentrated. Suddenly, a sharp pain inflected through his heart. Ken opened his eyes. The pain was getting worst. Thoughts ran through his mind. 'It hurts....my heart....where is Davis? And Yolei? And Wormmon?....' Ken's knees gave way. He fell to the ground. Ken looked up and saw the Digimon Emperor in front of him. The Kaiser had a huge smile. The Digimon Emperor lifted his long whip. Ken felt it hit his cheek. Ken felt blood trickle down his cheek. Ken felt his energy leave him. Ken saw the Kaiser smile broadly before Ken fainted.
Ken wearily looked around the room he was in. It was the Emperors person chamber. In others words, his room. Ken was laid down on the bed, which was hard. Ken saw the Emperor at the corner of the room, smiling at him. Ken gasped. He immediately thought his arms would be tied up. But, surprisingly, his arms and legs where free. "What is the matter with you? I wouldn't hurt you too much." The Emperor said cruelly. "You would do anything for your own cruel pleasure!" Ken screamed. His comment echoed through the base. "No. I wouldn't." The Emperor walked toward Ken. The Kaiser stopped an inch away from his face. The Kaiser removed the hair that covered his cheek. A bruise laid there. Ken gasped. It was on the same place where Ken was whipped earlier. "How long was I out?" Ken asked his other self. "About an hour. The whipping didn't knock you out. No no. It was the pain in your heart Kenny-Boy." The Emperor's smile sent chills up Ken's spine. "How did you know?" Ken asked, suspiciously. 'He seems to be nicer then before...' Ken closed his eyes for a minute. 'Maybe I should join him.' Ken's eyes snapped open. 'What the hell are you thinking? Join him! Ken, you're losing it!' Ken looked up at the Kaiser. "Maybe you should join me." The Kaiser smiled. "Huh? But how-" "I am connected to you. Any thing you feel, I feel. Well, maybe it's vice-versa, since we are both an equal half of Ken Ichijouji." The Emperor put a gloved hand to his lips. He was thinking. Ken sat on the hard bed, moving from spot to spot every few seconds. Ken finally stood up. The Emperor removed his finger from his lip. "What's wrong?" The Emperor asked. "Nothing. The bed is too hard. Why do you care, any who?" Ken said coldly. "Because, Kenny-Boy. If you could put two and two together, you'd be able to get four." It finally hit him. Ken looked at the Emperor. The Emperor stood up. "We would make an excellent team. Really. I'm giving you an opportunity Ken. Don't turn it down. Please. What did good bring you?" Ken looked at the Emperor. "Friends." Ken said simply. "And?" "A-A.....A....um....." Ken stood there, thinking. He wanted to lie to the Kaiser. But he would be lying to himself. "What did the dark spore give you?" The Emperor asked. "Excellent grades....a reputation....respect....the digital world...." Ken frowned. "STOP! JUST STOP!" Ken glared at the Emperor. "Being the Emperor made my heart cold!" Ken said. "So? Your heart is cold now. It isn't going to warm up. It's been nearly a year. So what you have friends? Friends aren't permanent. Digimon, on the other hand, are." The Emperor said. "Please, be quite!" Ken said. "I'm only saying the truth. You would have the Digital World in the palm of your hand." The Emperor smiled wickedly. "I'll think about it." Ken said folding his arms across his chest. "O.K. You can sleep here, if you want." The Emperor walked up to Ken. "Why are you being so nice?" Ken asked, worriedly. "Never mind. But it would be immensely wonderful if we where partners. The digital world in our palms." The Digimon Emperor smiled his crooked smile. "I said I will think about it." Ken walked over to his bedroom. The Digimon Emperor ran up to Ken. He placed his hand on Ken's cheek. The Kaiser was trying to bond again...Ken felt darkness sweep over him. Ken felt himself being drawn by darkness. Tears swelled in Ken's eyes as he felt his heart grow icy cold. 'Please stop...' Tears continued to fill Ken's eyes. 'Stop....' But Ken could not fight back. The Emperor took over. The Kaiser took out his crest. '3/4 darkness. Ken, you should have fought harder. Tsk tsk. Losing you touch over evil.' The Emperor taunted to his other half. But Ken did not answer. Ken, as far as now, was hardly alive. Ken was covered in darkness, which did not want to let go. 'You are an insane freak. Let me go....I do not like darkness....' Ken said weakly, looking inside his soul for the kindness that would surely help. But the Kindness was a small light...just a faint glow. Ken felt himself letting go. And the Kaiser finally took over. 'Ken, how are you back there?' The Emperor said, buttoning the cuffs of his grey shirt. The Kaiser frowned. 'He would remember anything. Like last time. Too bad. He won't see me rule the digital world....again....now, where was Metalgarurumon and Wargreymon?' Ken said, who is officially taken over by evil at this point. Meanwhile, the good half of Ken was in a coma-like state, trying his hardest to take in all the good thoughts he could. But his heart hurt. He didn't want to fight or run away anymore....maybe he should give up.......

Davis tapped his foot on the warm sand, clearly mad. It was 8:30A.M now, and Davis had his D-Terminal opened. "Where in the world is he? His signal is lost! We where right above him somehow! Darn! No fair!" Davis mumbled. Wormmon wearily stood next to Davis. "Darkness took over again....he's lost....the Digi-Destined within died." Wormmon started crying. "He never gets a brake! First his brother dies...then he gets the dark spore...becomes the Emperor....falls into a coma.... has amnesia....starts failing school....He sacrificed to much for the Digital world!" Wormmon looked sadly at the ground. "And the Digi-Gods aren't helping. When we talked to Azulongmon, Ken was ignored. 'Kindness is like a spare tire or something. I'm just a backup digi-destined.' Ken said that the second he was lying on his bed. He silently cried that day. In the morning he denied everything, of course." Wormmon looked up at Davis. "And I can't feel his presence!" Wormmon said, worriedly, biting his huge nail. "Calm down! We will help him! But where's Kari and the others?" Veemon asked, looking around. The other 10 digi-destined hadn't arrived. Just then, they say Ken running up to them. "Guys! The Emperor is defeated!" The kaiser lied. "How?" Wormmon asked. "I....can't really explain it....but it happened!" Ken said, smiling broadly. 'What do you think you are doing? They shall find out. Like it or not.' Ken said inside the Kaisers head. 'Foolish. But, I'll make a deal. If all 5 figure out I am not really you, then I shall give you your precious body back. No exceptions.' Ken thought for a second, then agreed with the Emperor. "KEN!" Davis said, shaking Ken furiously. The Kaiser looked up. "You spaced out! Weird!" The Kaiser glared at Davis. "Do not shake me ever again." He said cruelly. Davis looked hurt, so the Kaiser added "Please." The Kaiser turned around. Davis stared at the Kaisers back for a few seconds. 'There's something wrong with him.' Davis thought worriedly. 'Kais-y. Oh Kais-y. Emperor boy!' Ken taunted. "Do you know how to shut up!" The Emperor said outloud. Davis glared at 'Ken.' "I didn't do anything!" Davis said, offended. The Emperor turned around. (A/N: The Kaiser/Emperor looks and sounds like Ken.) "I wasn't talking to you!" The Kaiser said, moving his hair out of his face. 'Last time I checked, you were the smarter one.' Ken said. Well, I still am, if I was able to get you to actually agree.' 'You where acting . . . fruity. I got scared for a minute that half of me was fruity.' Ken said, gulping worriedly. The Kaiser laughed inwardly. 'Me? No way. Well, if they figure out within a week, I shall give you your body back.' The Kaiser agreed. Ken was ever so thankful. He hated feeling.....like....nothing.... 'No, that's not true. I can feel. But I can't feel my body.' Ken thought to himself. 'Should I try to talk through him? Naw, my energy isn't high enough.' Ken thought. Davis looked at Ken. 'Something is wrong....his eyes are cruel-looking. And his breath sends shills down my spine.' Davis thought. 'DAVIS!!! Help me!!! You're not talking to me....' Ken's voice rang through Davis's head. "Well, let's go home!" Veemon said. Wormmon sadly nodded. "Wormmy....why so sad?" The Kaiser said, nearly biting his tongue for talking to Wormmon. Davis quickly e-mailed the Digi-Destined.
Dear Yolei, Kari, T.P, Cody, Tai, and the rest,
Come to the digi-world NOW!!!!!!!! Hurry it up! Get your sorry little behinds over here!
Davis was about to press enter, but the Digi-Destined already arrived. "Ken"smiled. 'Why don't
I finish them now? No, it would be foolish. Why don't I play with the pathetic creatures first.'
He thought to himself. The Kaiser stared at Wormmon. "I should really be heading back." Ken
said, smiling. "Heading back where?"

"So . . . what do you think you are going to do?"A shadowed figure told another shadowed figure. "I'm not sure. This never happened before. Dark Spores aren't supposed to do this." "Then why is this happening to Ken?! He does not deserve this!" The first shadowed figure said. "I know. But there is nothing we can do. Nothing at all." the second shadowed figure said. "I- Will-Do-Something-Now." The first figure said. Light reflected off the first figures' glasses. "Osamu-" "Only a day. That's all I need." "Fine. Go. But be careful."
(Jenrya: OHHHH! What will happen? Who is this mysterious person? 'It's Osamu!' Yeah...I forgot. O.K, I won't be working on this a lot, since I gotta work on my Yu-Gi-Oh story. It has to do with Seto! But maybe I won't post it....but I know everything about the Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh. REVIEW!!!!!!!!!! AT LEAST ONCE, PLEASE!!!! Try not to flame this story, please. I worked really hard on this.)
