Chapter 6: Within a Week's Time

(Jenrya: Yes, a new crest. SQUEAL! Not a new digi-destined. Who get's the new crest? I'm not telling....hehehe. Well, keep reading. . .Osamu is in this chapter, along with -*clamps hand over mouth* I'm a baka. . .well, I meant to put Tamer because - *clamps hand over mouth again* just continue reading. . .^__^ Another character is in here! Long story...at LEAST 30-40 pages when done....)



A tall, brown haired kid was on the computer, checking his mail. "What the - Gennai!" The shocked boy nearly gasped. He got an IM. "Gennai has IM? O.K......"

Gennai: You must go to the digital world!

The boy sat there, annoyed. He typed:

CrazedTamer: No.

Gennai: But you must!

CrazedTamer: No.

Gennai: You're friend is in desperate need!

CrazedTamer: Who?

Gennai: Ken Ichijouji.

The boy sat there, shocked. 'What happened to the poor kid now?' The boy thought. He typed another message:

CrazedTamer: Where, why, what, and how?

Gennai: Dark Spore.

CrazedTamer: That's all I need to know.

Gennai: Will you do it?

CrazedTamer: YES!

Gennai: Thank you, Ryo Akiyama.

CrazedTamer: Yeah, whatever. Is Ken O.K?

Gennai: Not for long.

Ryo immediately logged off, and opened a Digi-Portal. He remembered that Ken had risked his own life to save him. Ryo, from this very day, still regretted it. "I was older. I should have done something!" Ryo was about three years older then Ken, he should have protected him! "Digi-Port open!"

Davis lumped along, mad. "Something's wrong with Ichijouji!" Davis growled. "Why are you mad?" Kari asked. "He lied to me!" Davis said. "Chances are, he can't tell us what's wrong with him." Yolei said, frowning. "He's probably sick, alone, and dying! He's probably-" "Right behind you. Or at least his brother." Davis gasped and turned around. Ken wasn't behind him, but Sam. Davis put his goggles on, shocked. "Sam...Ichijouji?" Cody said, nearly fainting. Sam nodded. "I've come, again, to help my little brother." "Awwwwww! How cutttteeee!" Yolei squealed. Sam glared at her. "You know, you guys are jerks! Ken, we won't just forgive you with open arm-" Sam placed his hand over his mouth. "A Digimon said that...." Sam shrugged. "Well, anyway, the only way to save Ken is to do something within a weeks time. I can't tell you what. But start thinking." Sam said, smiling. Yolei grabbed him by the collar. "I WANNA KNOW NOW!" Sam pushed Yolei. "I can't! They told me not to!" "Well, brake the rules!" Yolei said. "I can't." Sam nearly cried. "Poor younger brother...." Sam muttered. "Hey, are you the digi-destined?!" Everyone turned around. A brown haired boy ran up to them. "Yeah, we're the digi-destined. What's it to you?" Davis said. "Ryo Akiyama." Sam nearly punched Ryo. "You!!! I HATE YOU!" Sam punched Ryo in the face. "Baka!!! It's your fault that Ken has the spore!" Sam was shaking with anger. "It wasn't my fault!" "And you took all the credit for destroying Millenniummon! They call you the Legendary Tamer! Ken should have that name as well!" Sam said, ready to throw another punch. "Wait wait wait. What do you mean 'Legendary Tamer'?" T.K asked. "A Digimon Tamer. A person who tames a Digimon. Not exactly a Digi-Destined. Ken was one. A Tamer usually stays a Tamer, but after he defeated Millenniummon he was chosen to be a Digi-Destined." Sam said. "Why didn't I become one?!" Ryo said, annoyed. "Because they knew that you weren't a good person. You abandoned an injured friend. Ken fainted on the ground, and you didn't care! You still went home!" Sam yelled. "I was scared! The spores were flying everywhere! After I saw Ken faint, I just....." Ryo bit his lip. "You ran out on him. Your best friend! He risked his life for you!" Cody said, clearly disgusted by what Ryo did. (A/N: Sorry! I'm sortof beating Ryo up...But I like Ryo! I have a habit of messing with characters I like....No offense!) "I'm here to help! O.K?!" Ryo said. "Who are you helping?" Ken said. Davis didn't want to turn around. He knew Ken would be mad. "Daisuke, what is the matter?" Ken said, his voice nearly freezing Davis's spine. "N-Nothing." Davis said, worried. 'They will not find out, Kenny.' The Emperor aid, taunting his good half. 'Shut up. They will find out. How long to they have left?' Ken asked. 'We'll start from now. Even thought it should be the fifth day...I pity you.' 'Pity yourself, jerk.' The Emperor inwardly shook his head. 'Look at your cards before you set them down.' The Emperor said. 'I don't play games.' Ken said, smirking. The Kaiser looked up. "Ryo-" Ken said, trying his hardest to get a few words out. The Emperor mentally pushed him back in his 'spiritual' part of the body. The Kaiser controlled the body, so he had complete control of the body and most of the mind under his control. Ryo looked up at Ken, who seemed to be forcing something down...like he was pushing an imaginary block down. . . Ken sat in his part of the body, mad. He hated this. The Kaiser did this before. He blocked out everything, so Ken had no clue on what was going on. That was the reason why Ken never had a clue on what he did as the Emperor. "Ken" moved his blue locks away from his face. Ryo stared at his friend. "Ken, I want to say sorry." Ryo said. the Emperor looked up at Ryo. 'Damn. I don't have that part of my memory!' Ken looked up at Ryo, not having a clue on who he was. Ryo was quickly catching on. "Ken, I'm Ryo Akiyama. I went to the Digital World...I was the first person you saw..." Ryo studied Ken's glare. "I have no clue on who you are." Ken admitted bitterly. Ryo smiled. "Of course he doesn't! He has a slight case of Amnesia!" Yolei pointed out. Ken inwardly pulled his hair. 'Yolei, shut up!!! That's the Kaiser, right in front of you! Can't you see that?' Ken frowned. 'Maybe there not such good friends after all.' Ken frowned. "You do? You have amnesia?" Ryo asked, baffled. "Of course. I can't even remember the time when we...first met." The Emperor said, smiling worriedly. Ken smiled inwardly. 'Fool. Ryo will definitely find out.' Ken said, smiling. The Kaiser growled at his other half. 'Shut up!' 'Why?' Ken said, happily. Ryo studied 'Ken.' He seemed extremely worried. "Ken, when did I die?" Sam asked, suspiciously. The Kaiser began to sweat. "You died on the...oh, I don't remember the date!" The Emperor said, relived that Sam broke his glare with him. "That's not true. You go to my tombstone every year on the day of my death." Sam said, realizing what was going on. "Well, I'm extremely sorry, but I don't recall that particular date at this moment." The Emperor said, breathing heavily. 'They'll find out.' Ken said happily. "I told you to shut up.' The Kaiser said. Ken felt a dark grip grab his shoulder. Ken screamed in pain. Ken, which was light, thought Darkness was the worst pain in the world. And vice-versa. Ken released light on the Kaiser, using his last bit of strength. "AHHHHHHH!" The Kaiser grabbed his chest, gasping. "DAMN YOU! RELEASE ME!" Everyone stared at the young Emperor. "Ken, what's wrong?" Ryo asked. "Keep away!" The Emperor got up. "You're not Ken, are you?" Yolei asked, putting her hand on the Emperor's shoulder. Ken tried his best to answer no, but he was still very weak. He put himself in a "coma" like state. Sam walked up to the Kaiser, who was standing up and shaking in pain. Sam stuck his hand out, and immediately retreated it. dark energy touched his hand. "You're the Digimon Emperor!" Sam said, slapping the Kaiser across the face. Blood flowed from his lips. He smiled wickedly. "Ken's busy now. Too bad. I guess I get to keep his body forever." Sam gasped. 'AHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! STOP THAT!' Ken said, immediately waking up. Darkness swept over him like a blanket. 'This was not part of the deal!' Ken reported coldly. 'Well, too bad.' 'If I am going down, you're going with me!' A long band of light escaped his fingertips. Ken smiled wickedly. 'Perfect.' The Kaiser said, smiling. Ken immediately gasped. Darkness was inside his heart as this point. Ken was pulled out of his body completely. He was merely a memory....unless the Kaiser was destroyed....for good.

Davis pounded his hand against the table. The Digi-Destined had left the digital world just before the Kaiser could fully take over Ken's body. Davis ran his fingers through his hair. "I can't sense him...." Davis said, slightly shaking. Ken and Davis were connected, and Davis felt a lot of pain during Ken's suffering. But just about one hundredth of what Ken went through. "His heart was destroyed....The Kaiser has no emotions at this point. We have no choice." Davis said quietly. "What do you mean by have no choice exactly?" Yolei asked. Davis bit his lip. "We have to kill him." Kari stood up in defense. "WHA-? He's a digi-destined!" Kari yelled. "I KNOW! BUT.....I can't sense him. He doesn't exist anymore....we need Gennai's help." Davis said. "I remember Ken once told me that...there were 13 talismans, and that no digi-destined can have one less or one more. It would upset the balance. He told me the five digi-gods each represented two crests." Ryo said. Davis glared at the boy. "You're still here? Didn't I tell you to get the hell out of here?" Davis said, holding his fist down. "13 talismans? What are they?" Cody asked. "They are the proper word for crests. But one is weird....it's the crest of Darkness. It's purpose is to balance out every other crest. You guys would not have given up your crests if Darkness was in place." Ryo said. "Then why didn't they just give Ken the crest?" T.K asked. "He wasn't taken over by Darkness then. Only a being powerful enough could use that crest. It belongs to Ken Ichijouji. I read a prophecy, actually." Ryo said. "Then read it." Yolei said warningly. "When Darkness and Kindness reunite, a being will be sacrificed, and the world shall finally be balanced. Or something like that." Ryo said. "A being will be sacrificed....as in Ken." Davis said. Ryo nodded. Yolei broke out crying. Kari gently patted her on the back. "He'll make it. Don't worry." Kari said reassuringly. Yolei took a tissue and blew her nose. "Ken-Chan....." "Well, we have to kill the Emperor. Ken doesn't exist anymore Yolei...I don't want to do it either. He's my DNA partner. And if I don't sense him, he's mot here anymore. You understand Yolei?" Davis said. "Don't talk to me as if I am of younger age! I am older then you!" Yolei snapped. "Wait- Ryo, right before you said no digi-destined could have one less or one more crest then the other digi-destined?" T.K asked. Ryo nodded. "How about me and Kari then?" Ryo shook his head. "You where merely backups. Ken, Yolei, Davis, and Cody. I was talking about them. Those four are the balances. I can sense Ken!" Ryo said happily. "What? You can't sense him! Only a DNA partner can- you were Ken's original DNA partner?" Davis said, shocked. Ryo nodded. "Well, how come you can sense-- oh, there he is." Davis said, smiling broadly. "Well, Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon are still roaming the digital world. (A/N: Thought I forgot about those two, eh? ^_^) But they're Matt's and Tai's. And I know why." Sam said. Everyone gave their undivided attention to Sam. "Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon equal Omegamon, or Omnimon. ImperialDramon Fighter Mode and Omnimon equal

ImperialDramon Paladin Mode. One of the legendary Digimon." Sam said. "What does Ken care about legendary Digimon?" Davis asked. "A lot. Imperialdramon Paladin Mode is one of the strongest Digimon ever. We need to get him." Yolei rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah, to kill Ken, right?" Yolei snapped. "He's already technically dead!" Sam yelled. "Look who's talking!" Yolei yelled back. Sam's face turned an odd crimson color. "I know I'm dead!" Sam said, getting up in a protest. "And we won't kill him! Just turn him back into Ken. But he might die in the process. No matter what we do, or how fast we do it, it might already be too late. We can't really save him in time." Sam said, polishing his glasses while talking. "You're a horrible brother." Yolei muttered, crying and running out of the room. Sam frowned. "He's my brother....but there's isn't much I could do, honestly. If there was something I could do, I'd do it!" Sam hung his face. "All this because he missed me...." Ken looked around. Darkness was all around him. He shivered, rubbing his arms. He silently thanked the Digi-Gods sarcastically for calling this fate to him. Ken tried to connect his minds with his other half, but was getting nothing. The Kaiser was blocking himself out. He tried his link to Davis, and yet again got nothing. 'DAVIS!!! ANSWER ME!' Ken sighed once realizing it was no hope. He was too weak. And he couldn't regenerate with all this dark energy around him. 'Dammit! Me and my rotten luck! Look at yourself now, Ichijouji. You don't even have a body anymore! You share it with you're evil half, which is nothing like you and you're still sharing a body!' Ken gasped. 'He has to have something like me!' Ken tried his light energy, which was running very low. 'Can't do it now.' 'Kenny, how you doing there? Havin' fun?' The Emperor taunted. 'I'll have fun soon.' "Oh great. We got to go home." Davis muttered. "Yep. It's late. And my mom will get mad. She doesn't like visitors past 8. It's 9." T.K said. "I don't give a-" "DAVIS! Hold your tongue!" Davis crossed his arms across his chest, trying to speak to his D.N.A partner. He held his heart, and remembered when he first Jogressed... "....and when you're really need help, you stick with you're friends, cause there you're friends no matter what!" Davis said happily to a confused Ken, who frowned. "Great! And what if you don't have any friends?" Davis felt Kens' heart cry, pain, break. 'Ken has no friends-' A green light appeared from both of there digi-vices, nearly blinding the both of them. Their hearts were beating at once. Davis noticed a surprised look on Ken's face. And only Davis knew this, but he heard Ken's thought at that moment: 'So this is what it feels like to have a friend.....it's not that bad....' Davis felt like hugging and comforting his new friend, for all the pain he went through, but saw a glow in the sky, telling them one thing, something was digi-volving....Paildramon. Ken jumped. Davis was trying to communicate with him. 'DAI!' Ken yelled, using his last bit of light energy. 'Satoru?' Davis said, using Ken's birth name. (A/N: True. Satoru Ichijouji is Ken's birth name.) 'Hai. I'm here. Now get me out.' Ken said sternly. 'I can't. I don't know how.' Davis said, as a memory hit him. 'Ken said that once....' 'DAISUKE! I hear you! And I know that I said that! Now stop wasting my energy and tell me how I will exit this dilemma.' Ken asked, sternly yet again. 'Fine. I don't know-' 'So, Sat found a way to talk to his friends. How cute. It's making my stomach turn.' The Digimon Emperor broke the connection between the two. Ken grabbed his light energy and sat down, imaging the Emperor decapitated in 80 different ways. 'This I'll take a while.....' Ken threw a long strand of light energy at the Emperor, who taught back with dark energy. 'This I'll take a while....' Ken repeated, sighing. "Mom, I'm home!" Davis said, putting his coat on the hook. "Oh, thank goodness! You're two hours late!" Davis's mom said, hugging Davis. Davis felt a surge of guilt crawl over him. 'What happened when Ken didn't come home for days on end?' "I'm calling the police, whether you like it or not!' Mrs. Ichijouji said, picking the phone up. "Honey, please-" "Ken has been gone for days! This is the third time! Someone is after him!" "Remember what his friends said? About the digital world?" "His friends are insane. He was much better off without friends." Mrs. Ichijouji said, continuing to pick the phone up. "He hasn't had friends in years. Years. Not one. His heart became cold! And so did his food most of the time.....but I don't care about that. He needed friends. No one can live alone! How did I meet you?! If he doesn't learn how to make friends, he'll never get married and make little Ken's! I want to be a grandfather......but I don't care about that now. I care about the well-being of my son, who was kidnaped, injured, and beaten by those horrible Digimon." Just then, Wormmon crawled in the room. "I miss Ken to....but I think I can find him!" Wormmon said. "I don't care!" Mrs. Ichijouji ran out of the room, crying. "Honey! He could help!" "I still don't care! He's a D-Digimon! A repulsive Digimon!" 'Now I know where Ken got that word....' Wormmon thought bitterly. Mrs. Ichijouji slammed her door. Wormmon heard her crying through the door. 'Ken....please be O.K. Please.' Wormmon begged. 'I miss him too....Mrs. Ichijouji....I miss him to....' "So, how is Ken doing?" Tai asked, fluffing his pillow. He, nor had any older digi-destined, had not heard a word about what had happened after Ken went into a coma. Actually, Tai didn't really care what happened to Ken. 'Just as long as that jerk doesn't have something that'll have to help with.' Tai thought. "We need you're help Tai." 'Dammit.' "We need Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. Which is Paildramon Fighter Mode and Omnimon fused." Kari said, hoping her brother would help. "O.K. I'll help." Tai said bitterly.
