The Generosity of Darkness
Chapter: 5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the Digidestined came through they all landed in a heap, with Tai as the unlucky one on the bottom. "Hey! Get your foot out of my back!" He cried and kicked at whoever was at his feet. "OW!" Someone- Miyako- shouted. "That was my face!" What ensued next was a complete chaos of entangled legs, arms, and other limbs all trying to get lose.
About half an hour later, many- MANY- bruises, and a few black eyes later, the Digidestined stood looking a little ruffled. "Remind me," Tai said, "To apologize to Izzy for all those times I've landed on him." One or to people agreed with him. After a moment someone looked around to get their bearings. "Where are we?" Cody asked drawing the other's attention. "...I don't think... we've ever... been here before..." Sora said a little nervously.
The children discovered they were in a strange forest. The trees were dense causing shadows to be many. Little natural light shown through; most of the light came from little flying creatures you only seem to see at night, and they only seemed to add to the eerieness of the place. For instead of the normal yellow light, they glowed a deep red. They could barely see the trees around them, let alone a digimon lurking around... Maybe that's why they never saw it coming.
Kari had moved a little away from the others, and was barely visible. She looked back, missed the glowing blue eyes staring at her. "Hey guys. Why don't we use a stick or something and use it as a torch?" She heard Miyako ask. She couldn't help but smile at how she tried to sound annoyed even though she was really nervous as anything, and she heard the familiar cry of 'Pepper breath!' As she looked back to the bushes, she saw the clearing light up... As well as a huge digimon directly in front of Kari, who screamed in pure surprise. TK and Tai were immediately by her, pushing her behind them, their digimon standing in front of them. "What IS that?" Matt asked, taking a position beside Tai, the other's where right behind them.
The digimon before them looked like an elephant in origin. It had blue armor on it's head with two turbine-like fan things over, if not *for*, its ears, and armor on the bottom of it's trunk, its back and feet were also covered. Its white skin stretched over powerful muscles, and in a moment everyone knew it meant business.
*****
*The digimon's voice*
I am Elephamon. (To see a picture of this digimon go to: http://www.megchan.com/digimon/encyclopedia/cards/bo376.jpg) I can crush your little digimon merely by stooping on you and I can send the earth shattering attack Nitro Turbine Wave.
*****
Elephamon gave a howl to the sky, before charging into the field. "RUN!!" Matt screamed as all the children scattered. "Miyako?" Hawkmon asked. The purple haired girl had been thrown violently to the ground. She rubbed her back where she had landed, but she seemed to have only bruised her back.
Tai however was not so lucky. Elephamon picked him as its first target and charged at him. "Agumon!"
"Agumon digivolve to... Greymon!"
Matt grabbed his digivice, and looked to Gabumon, who nodded.
"Gabumon digivolve to... Garurumon!"
Greymon moved in front of the elephant just as it was about to step on Tai; Garurumon also joined the fight. "Go Tai, get to the others. Well take care of this guy." The Child of Courage nodded his thanks and joined the others. "Do you thing we should evolve the others?" Kari asked. Tai shook his head as he watched his partner throw a Nova Blast at the digimon, who took it like it was nothing. "Not yet. Let's wait; we might have to do some more fighting. We'll need the digimon to full strength if we do." Kari nodded.
"Howling blaster!" Garurumon shouted, sending the ice attack at Elephamon. The elephant digimon grinned and shouted, "Nitro Turbine Wave!" An almost invisible wave tore through the air, smashing into the wolf digimon's attack and going through it till it hit Garurumon. "Garurumon!" Matt shouted as his digimon went crashing into a tree and fell to the ground. The digimon glowed blue, then de-evolved back to Gabumon.
Matt scooped up Gabumon as he heard Greymon suffer a similar fate. "Hey you alright?" Matt asked. Gabumon looked up tiredly. "Ya, I'm fine." The digimon's eyes closed as he passed out to rejuvenate
.
"Agumon, are you ok?" Tai asked his digimon. "I'm fine Tai, but I don't think I ate enough. I'm sorry I let you down." "Hey, you did your best. It's not your fault that digimon stronger than you. We'll just try harder next time." "If there's a next time..." A sickenly familiar voice whispered. Tai's head shot up. "What?!" "Tusk Missile!" He heard Elephamon shout. Tai turned, in slow motion it seemed, to see two red missiles coming at him... And Tai did the only thing he could think to do: scream.
"Hawkmon digivolve to... Aquilamon!"
"Gatomon DNA digivolve to..."
"Aquilamon DNA digivolve to..."
"Silphymon!"
Tai cringed ready for the missiles to hit him, but blinked when the blow never came. Instead, the brown-haired Digidestined found himself in the arms of the DNA digivolved form of his sister's digimon and Miyako's digimon. Silphymon deposited Tai on the ground back with the others. Then turned back on Elephamon. "It's time we end this." Silphymon said in its joint voice.
The Elephamon stood before them. "Tusk Missile!" It cried. "Static Force!" The bird-like digimon sent a pinkish attack at the Elephamon, destroying the two missiles and hitting the digimon, who screamed out in pain, before falling over to its side and bursting into bits data and floating off. Silphymon glowed, before de-evolving back to Hawkmon and Gatomon.
"You did it!" Miyako cried scooping up Hawkmon in bear hug. Kari thanked her digimon to. Suddenly a laughed resounded through the clearing. Tai looked to where the voice had come from and said, "I knew it was you!" The other children looked to where Tai was looking and became unsure whether to gasp or groan. "Empress..."
"You, tell us where our friends are?!" Tai shouted. "Ya, and what did you do to them?!" Miyako also demanded. She was worried sick, even for Davis. Empress smirked. "And if refuse...?" She taunted, making everyone's blood boil. "Just tell us where they are, you little witch." Matt growled. "My, my, how the mighty have fallen, reduced to name calling... I suppose that was supposed to hurt me where my heart would be..."
Matt and Tai both looked ready to say something, when TK said, "Answer the question!" "So you want to know where your friends are, huh? Well the little computer geek is safe and unharmed at my base." She said with a wave of her hand dismissively. "And Davis and Ken?" Cody asked. Empress smirked, but instead of answering his question she asked one of her own, to Kari. "Tell me Child of Light, do you remember felling the darkness here in the Digital World yesterday?"
Kari was about to affirm she had and was about to ask what this had to do with Davis and Ken, when it clicked. "There in the Dark World?!" She gasped, suddenly feeling horror and pity for her two friends. "Correctamondo, little girl. I see there *is* a mind in you." Empress sneered. Tai, Gatomon and TK looked ready to take her head off. The other kid's eyes widened, as they realized the meaning of what Kari had said.
TK seemed to feel Kari's sudden discomfort, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Why did you take them there?" The young blond asked.
Empress 'hmm'ed. "They're both very interesting. My master finds them sooo very fascinating." "What are you talking about??" Kari demanded, continuously growing more and more uneasy.
Her smirk grew when she saw their anger. "Just so you know your little goggle-wearing friend is one of the keys to an ancient prophesy. As for what we did to him..." She paused as if searching for words. "Lets just say 'Dreamland' has a new permanent resident." She couldn't resist laughing at the children's torn looks between anger and confusion. These humans where so easy to manipulate... If only they knew what was truly in store for them...
As the children puzzled over the last thing she had said, Joe said, "And Ken? Is he involved in this 'prophesy' to?" Empress' grin became like the baring of fangs. "Oh yes, the Child of Kindness is involved in this prophesy. But I wouldn't bother hoping to rescue him, for Kindness is beyond your help. And while he's gone you'll have to worry about what's left over." To emphasis her point, she pointed off to her left. Everyone warily looked to where she pointed... Then gasped. Miyako let out a cry of dismay. "No. It can't be..."
But it could be, and it was.
Right there with one hand on the trunk of the tree and feet planted on a branch like Empress, was the one and only Digimon Emperor, and standing on either side of him with glowing red eyes were Wormmon and Veemon.
*~*~*
//A laugh sounded, cruel and cold.//
~I know that laugh from somewhere, but where?~
//The sound of a whip striking flesh and a whimper of pain.//
~What's going on? Why are these playing in my head? Who's doing these... things?~
//Everything starts to swirl together, becoming black. A voice starts to speak--//
~NO!~
Ken eyes shot open as he sat straight up in bed, his whole body covered in a cold sweat, his hand went to his head, and he gave a slight moan as it throbbed. Threw the pain, a part of him was aware that his movements had knocked a sleeping form from where s/he had been resting at the foot of the bed off onto the floor.
Slowly the throbbing started to subside, and Ken looked up... and into a pair of half worried, half absolutely joyed deep blue eyes. He blinked, then nearly jumped out of his yelped as the next moment he found himself in a *tight* hug. "Oh my God! Ken your awake! I don't believe it!!" came the voice of the person- a male- hugging him. Just as he was about to complain about his air supply, or lack of, the person released him and Ken found himself starring at those familiar blue eyes...
"Your Sam..." Ken mummered distantly. The boy- Sam- frowned at him slightly, sensing something was wrong. "You don't recognize me?" He inquired. Ken's expression became thoughtful as he thought that he didn't *recognize*, for he could recognize Sam anywhere, it was just that this just didn't *feel* right. Like this wasn't supposed to be happening. But as much as he tried to figure out *why* it didn't feel right, the answer alluded him
.
To Sam he said; "No, it's not that..." Ken eyed his older brother, who was just blinked as the he leaned forward to get a better look at him. "Hmm... you look different then what I remember..." The younger Ichijouji trailed off confused. Indeed the older boy looked different. Instead of the green hooded shirt over a dark blue shirt and jeans; he wore a dark blue sweater that complimented the blue of his eyes, and khakish colored pants. As he took this in, he wondered why there was a rather large gape in his memory.
Sam sweatdroped as Ken looked him over, and replied with, "What do expect? For me to stay the same after all this time?" Ken blinked coming out of his thoughts. "What?" Sam's brows shoot up. "You don't remember?" His response was another blink. "Ken, you were hit by a car, and you've been in a coma for three years."
*~*~*
Izzy looked away from the mixed-colored egg almost dizziedly. The thing was hard to look at for a long period of time without one getting dizzy to the point the person would be sick, and it wasn't pretty either. Of course Izzy just had to learn this the hard way, as he was once again about to be rather sick.
Once he got his stomach under control again, he started to look back at the egg, but for some reason he couldn't bear to look at that thing. He just didn't care if Empress had been telling the truth or not. But, it would seem fate had other plans, for as he turning to go towards the bed, he heard a telltale cracking noise. Izzy, eyes wide, turned back to the egg. His eyes widened to saucer size as he watched in horror as the shell began to hatch.
Then the shell broke away to reveal... "A Botamon and a Punimon(1)??" Izzy asked, jaw slack and expression disbelieving. "Does that mean that these two can digivolve into Chimeramon?" Izzy said curiously. He cautiously began to reach for one of the babies when a shout of "Petit Fire!" and a blast of ice nearly froze his hand.
"YAH!!" Izzy cried. He fell backwards to see the Gabumon standing before him. "You are not to touch the digimon. Empress commands for them not to be touched." It said in a deep monotone, before returning to standing in front of the curiously watching baby, leaving the red head to recover from his shock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: 1: I'm going by what the cards in the Digimon card game. In the game, Greymon and Garurumon can DNA digivole into Chimeramon. Just so ya know. ^-^
Sera guilty look: I actually was going to write more, but then I thought I might as well just post it and leave it where it is.
Ken crossing his arms: And she's lazy.
Sera glares: I am not I'm just... I'm just...
Ken raises brow: Waiting...
Sera flustered: ...Well, I... Well, I'm just not lazy!
Ken snorts.
Sera huffed: Sorry for taking so long, minna. Standard Disclaimers apply. Bai bai!
