Chapter 30: Darkness's Return
Andrew
Demidevimon and I stepped back into my room for the first time in about a week. Not like that was a bad thing or anything, I'd actually enjoyed staying in Japan at Ken's place. Living with an actual caring family one that actually cared what happened to each other, Ken's parents were actually worried about him when they found out he was leaving for a while. Here was completely different, my father didn't care what happened to me, he hadn't even realized that I had left, I'm not sure he even realized that Emily was dead yet, I wouldn't be surprised if he never did.
I plopped down on my bed as my six houseguests walked into my room.
"Matt Tai," I said to Matt and Tai two of the people staying with me. "You guys can stay in my sister's room, Ken you can lay down your sleeping bag on the floor you're with me."
"Okay," Tai said. "Thanks, you're sure your Dad doesn't mind if we stay here."
"So long as you don't touch his alcohol supply he doesn't care."
"Great," Matt said examining the dilapidated surroundings. "A couple days of living here, I'm so excited."
"Matt it's not that bad," Gabumon said. "It doesn't look any messier than your apartment."
"Yeah…" Matt said laughing. "But they didn't have to know that."
They continued to just stand there, things were getting awkward fast.
"If you're waiting for someone to carry your suitcases to your room you're going to be waiting a long time, this isn't a hotel. I don't look like a bellhop do I?"
Both Matt and Tai picked up their suitcases and began walking towards Emily's – or what used to be my s Emily's room, I guess with her gone, it wasn't anybody's anymore.
"Wow Mr. Personality," Agumon said quietly as he followed the other three. I noticed as both Ken and Wormmon, began to look at me with concerned eyes, great here it comes another pity speech.
"Andrew I've been meaning to talk to you about something," Ken said.
"Yeah, yeah." I said bitterly. "Just what almost everybody has told me, I understand what you're going through blah blah blah. How could a person who came from such a perfect and caring family possibly understand what I'm going through?"
"Perfect caring family yeah that's funny."
"What are you talking about? I saw the way you and your parents got along looks like the perfect family life for me."
"It wasn't always like that you know," Wormmon said.
"And yeah," Ken said. "I was going to say I understand what you're going through, but that's only because I can."
"Look just because you were once the Digimon Emperor too doesn't mean you know what I've going through. Sure we both feel guilty about the bad things we've done you still don't understand."
"What you mean losing your sister?"
"Yeah…"
"I understand that too, a while back my brother died and-"
"Sorry, but that doesn't mean you know what I've been through, you have no idea what my life's been like."
"Try me."
"Better sit down," Demidevimon said. "It's a long story."
I smiled briefly at my Digimon, but withdrew it immediately when I noticed that Ken and Wormmon had seen me smile.
"I'll try and give you the condensed version." I said. "See when I was about two my mother disappeared, that sent my father into a downward spiral of drinking, drinking and more drinking. He neglected my infant sister, and I was forced to take care of her, I tried my best to raise her as best I could but she still ended up, well unlike your normal kid, she ended up…. well – evil, then when Kris and the others defeated us Evamon tried to dispose of us, he couldn't hurt me because my crest had been modified, but Emily wasn't so lucky. Do you see what I mean, I've had a rough life even before I lost Emily, you have no idea what that's like."
"You'd be surprised," Wormmon said.
"Actually I do, I know exactly how you feel, I didn't exactly have a easy life growing up either. See my older brother was kind of a genius, and my parents gave him all the attention, I didn't get any. I was totally ignored they were less than what you would call caring. Then Sam died and things only got worse, I was pushed into studying as they tried to make me more like my brother. For a while I struggled then I became infected with the Dark Spore, that helped, but it didn't bring us closer together, it turned me into the Digimon Emperor and tore us apart. It wasn't until recently when I stopped being the Digimon Emperor that we actually began to act like a normal family."
As he fell silent I looked at him, he wasn't lying, I could always tell when someone was lying and he was actually telling the truth. Maybe he did actually understand me, I knew no one else did with the exception of Demidevimon. After all like me he had been a Digimon Emperor, and tortured innocent Digimon, he wouldn't care about the things I did in the past. I should have said something like 'Thanks' but I didn't that just wouldn't be like me. Instead I just looked away and grunted.
"You should really try to be friendlier," Ken said. "I was like that once, I found out you could make friends easier if you just be nicer. You're one of us now, you're not fighting for Evamon anymore, there's no reason to be so bitter." "Okay, let's get one thing straight! I am not one of you!" I held out my crest. "See this! My crest, it's black! Black! It's a dark crest! It was given to me by the powers of Darkness, unlike the rest of you who got yours from the powers of Light, even you the once Digimon Emperor got your crest from the powers of Light. You're an official Digidestined, I'm just a minion of Evamon that's been modified so I can fight beside you."
"But it was modified by the powers of Light, which means your powers may have originated from Darkness, but they're not like that anymore. You're Dark powers were taken away the second you renounced your old ways. You're Dark powers disappeared replaced by those of Light; your powers are those of Light now, not Darkness. You are one of us. The fact that your crest is black is irrelevant it's just a colour, it's not important."
"Maybe, but none the less unlike all of you I was never intended to be Digidestined. The forces of Light just saw a chance to give you a little extra help and took it that's all."
"You have to stop saying that, you're just as much a member of the team as any of us, the forces of Light allowed you to become one of us for a reason, you're not just some convenience."
"Fine," I said. "Believe what you want to believe, it doesn't change the fact that I'm not a true Digidestined."
"I don't even know why I'm bothering," Ken sighed. "I could talk to you forever and have faith that you're one of us but it won't make much of a difference unless you believe it yourself. Come on Wormmon, let's see what Tai and Matt are up to."
Ken scooped his Digimon into his arms; they both gave me one last look before they left the room.
"They were right you know," Demidevimon said fluttering down from my bedpost onto my stomach.
"About what? Ken said a lot of things."
"About being nicer, you don't have to be so bitter all the time."
I laughed. "And you're one to talk, your not exactly social yourself." Demidevimon laughed back. "Yeah but I'm expected to be like that, I'm Demidevimon the rat. I've got a reputation to protect you know."
We both laughed again as I sat back on my bed, there wasn't much else to do around here.
* * *
Two days past since we got home with barely after any response from Evamon or any of his minions, there was a slight incident at the Supermarket with one of the Dark Masters, but he Kris was able to take care of that, and now one of the Dark Masters was out of our hair, leaving only three left, and Evamon himself. Tai was always dreading their appearance claiming that they were one of the most powerful Digimon they'd ever fought, but I didn't see why he was so scared, so far we hadn't had any trouble with them whatsoever, Metalseadramon had been beaten easily, and Puppetmon had not only been beaten he'd been destroyed, both easily. The Dark Masters aren't what I was really fearing, it was Evamon himself that I was worried about, I'd seen what he could do, I'd actually met him, and I'd suffered loss at his hands. These Dark Masters didn't seem that tough at all; compared to Evamon they were nothing.
Now I was at the refrigerator, trying to assemble a makeshift meal from what little food that we had, all we had was the basics, bread Milk, and some fruit. I ate fruit a lot, it was easier to steal, and what little fruit we did have had all gone bad.
"Sorry guys," I said to the five watching my black and white TV. "Nothing, I'll have to go out and grab something later."
"Don't worry about that," Matt said. "I've got cash, I'll order a pizza." I could feel my mouth water at just the mention of pizza; it's been years since I've had some.
"Great!" I said enthusiastically. "Order one now."
Both Matt and Tai looked at me strange but nodded. They were lucky they probably had pizza all the time. They probably had no idea what a treat it was to just eat something that wasn't expired. I reached for the phone, but before I even touched it four beeping sounds filled the room, it sounded like the distress signal beep from the Digivices. I took my D3 out of my pocket only to have my suspicion confirmed. Tai Matt and Ken did the same.
"What is it?" Demidevimon asked fluttering across the room and landing on my shoulder.
I stared blankly at the screen, this couldn't be!
"Ken did you accidently hit the distress signal button on your D3?"
Ken shook his head. "No, I thought you did, the signal I'm getting is-"
"I know! Black!" I yelled. "Let's go we've got to check this out!"
I didn't waste a second, I tore out of the house and began running in the direction where the distress signal was coming from, Tai, Agumon, Matt, Gabumon, Wormmon were close behind, and Demidevimon was desperately trying not to fall off of my shoulder.
I was more concerned of that distress signal than anything else. The signal was black, the colour of the signal varied depending on the colour of the Digivice from where it was sent, Ken and I both had black Digivices, but neither of us had sent the signal and there was only one other with a black Digivice – no! It couldn't be her, though I would love it if it were.
I continued to eye the screen noticing as aside from the four of us and our Digimon sixteen other Digidestined and Digimon were moving in on the location of the distress signal, maybe they'd come to the same conclusion. Well the Canadian ones anyway, with the exception of Will. Soon we came upon an intersection, where we met up with Kris, Jenn, Elecmon and Penguinmon also running in the same direction we were.
"Andrew!" Kris yelled at me. "The distress signal you didn't send it?"
"No," I answered.
"So that means."
I nodded as a smile crossed my face. "Yeah I know."
Both he and Jenn and their Digimon had less excited looks on their face, but I couldn't blame. As we ran we soon ran into the rest of the team, soon all twenty Digidestined and Digimon were reunited.
It was fifteen minutes later that we finally reached the spot from where the distress signal had been sent. It was the town bridge, a really big one at that, four lanes wide, overlapping river rapids, not the kind in the wild the polluted kind,. But still just as dangerous. People were running screaming from the bridge from both sides, running from their cars abandoning them, and for good reason. In the center of the bridge, were three Digimon, one giant metallic dinosaur, another I recognized as Metalseadramon, and a third clown like Digimon.
"Great, just great." Tai moaned. "They're all together, this is going to be one tough fight."
We made our way to the center of the bridge all standing a few feet in front of the remaining Dark Masters. But the Dark Masters weren't what I was concentrating on; it has the person standing in front of them, along with the Digimon hanging off her shoulder.
"E-Emily!" I yelled happily upon seeing my sister.
Without I ran up to her, giving her the biggest hug I'd ever giving.
"Thank god!" I yelled. "I thought you were dead! I thought I'd never see you again."
"Get off of me traitor!" Emily yelled bitterly as she pushed me away I fell to the ground.
As I looked up at her I realized that she was wearing her Digimon Empress outfit.
"Emily what are you doing? With them – wearing that - I thought-"
"What?" she snapped. "That just because I'd been defeated once, that I'd just give up. Like you, that I'd end up like you and jump to join this group of idiots like you jumped into doing. Traitor!"
"Why does this not surprise me," Dan said. "Not even death can get this bitch out of our hair."
"Emily why are you doing this?" I asked. "You must have realized by now this is no game, we were actually causing pain."
"Of course I did, and you know that I knew. I'm not an idiot like you. You knew very well that I knew."
"But why are you doing this!"
"Because I want power! Isn't it obvious? And I finally have it, I've been promoted, I'm Evamon's second in command, these Dark Master's are now mine to command, and soon both the Digital World and the real world will be under my total control."
"You know Evamon will never let you have total control, you'll be his slave!" Kris said.
"A small price to pay, I'd rather have to answer to one person, that answer to millions like all of you will soon have to."
"Emily please don't do this!" I begged. "I know you, you're not like this!" "You obviously don't know me! I need power! I won't go back to that pathetic life again. I refuse to! Sure Evamon treats me horribly! But so does our father, and at least under Evamon I'm an the Digimon Empress, under our father I'm just the reason our mother left."
I opened my mouth to speak but was interrupted as the clown like Digimon stepped forward and spoke.
"I'm getting tired of all this stupid talking, I came here to get revenge on those who have caused me to sit in limbo for three years."
"Yes," the giant metal dinosaur Digimon said. "I too am growing tired of this."
"Machinedramon, Piedmon. Shut up! We'll fight when I decide it's time."
"Why should any of us listen to you!" the clown like Digimon, or Piedmon said. "You're just a pathetic human. And you're Digimon can only Digivolve into the Ultimate level we're all at the Mega level."
"Piedmon, what did Evamon tell you to do," my sister said smugly.
"To listen to you, no matter what you said." Piedmon said angrily.
"And do you want to have to answer to him if he hears you weren't doing what he said."
"No," Piedmon said angrily and looking away.
"But you're right, this is boring, I think we should do what we came to do, but it's only fair if we divide the fight up evenly. Piedmon, you take first choice."
Piedmon grinned. "I think I'll take, the two Japanese Megas, along with the one you destroyed me, and maybe the leader of the Canadians as well."
"Alright, Tai, Matt, T.K and Kris." Emily said grinning. "That's fine with me, just make sure that you keep the leader of the Canadian Digidestined alive, I need him for something."
Both Jenn and Kris cringed as she said that. Emily had mentioned she had plans for Kris before, but I never really did find out what they were.
"I'll do my best," Piedmon said laughing. "But I can't make any promises."
"You better!" Emily yelled. "I don't care if you hurt him, but make sure he's alive, and the area below his waist better stay in tact."
Piedmon ignored her, and only looked away for a second.
"Blackgatomon and I will take the two traitors," Emily said. By that I assumed she meant Ken and I. "Machinedramon, Metalseadramon, you can have the rest, I think six each will be enough."
"Sounds fine to me," Metalseadramon bragged. "But doesn't that leave two extra?" Emily grinned evilly. "You're right it does, we can't have that can we? Piedmon, do me a favor and get rid of two of these Digidestined for me."
"It would be my pleasure," Piedmon said. "Clown Trick!"
Piedmon formed a ring of fire in his hand sand threw it at the crowd. I didn't see what happened right away, but I couldn't help but look when I heard Janine scream. The ring of fire had landed just around Janine and Dan, with them in the center. The ring took a huge chunk out of the bridge, the very chunk that Dan and Janine were standing on.
"Dan!"
"Janine!" Gizamon and Otamamon both yelled.
We could only watch in horror as a large chunk of the bridge along with Janine and Dan fell into the raging and unforgiving river, they both disappeared below the water.
"NO!" Otamamon and Gizamon both yelled.
Gizamon did it first, jumping off of the bridge into the water, Otamamon followed quickly. Kris and Elecmon tried to stop them but there was no way they ever could have, it all happened way to fast.
"You!" Kris yelled angrily. "Don't you have any respect for life! How dare you! You'll pay for this!"
"Oh that's original," Emily said laughing. "Good choice Piedmon, the guy called me a bitch, and that girl just plain annoyed me."
I could only stare in horror and look blankly at my sister. Dan and Janine – gone. In less than a second, four members of our team had just been lost so quickly. Despite how bitterly I acted towards both of them, I still felt this emptiness inside me. They were still my friends, and what was worse was that Emily had caused it. My little sister! The sweet innocent little girl that I had raised, or tried to raise myself, except she wasn't sweet and innocent anymore, she hadn't been for a long time, but somehow I just couldn't see anyone else but my little sister in her, unlike everyone else who saw a dangerous evil and insane megalomaniac.
Piedmon began to hover into the air. "Let's go, we're all going to be fighting in different places, follow me to the spot where we'll fight."
Patamon flew from his perch on T.K's head and into the air. "Come on. I'll be your ride."
"Patamon Digivolved to………………Angemon!"
"Angemon Digivolved to……………..Magnaangemon!"
"We better get going," Tai said as he and Agumon climbed onto Magnaangemon's back along with T.K, Matt and Gabumon.
"Good luck," Jenn said to Kris as they kissed. Did they have to do that in public?
"You too," he said to her, as he and Elecmon climbed onto the giant angel's back, who took to the air following Piedmon.
The same thing happened with Machinedramon and Metalseadramon, who flew/walked away, with the rest of our team riding on top of Parrotmon following to the spot where they would fight. Leaving only Ken and I along with our Digimon here, to face my sister and Blackgatomon.
"So what happens now?" Demidevimon asked glaring at Blackgatomon. "Do you start fighting?"
"I'm giving you both one last chance, you both once fought on the side of evil, and you can still rejoin it. Of course you won't have as much power as me, but it's better than being worthless slaves."
"I don't think so," Ken said immediately.
"I knew you'd say that," Emily said continuing to grin. "You're corrupted with that crest of Kindness aren't you? But Andrew you're different, you've got a Dark crest, you're not one of them like Ken is. You're like me, one of the evil Digidestined. You've got great potential for evil."
"Don't listen to her Andrew!" Ken yelled. "That's not true anymore your crest has changed."
"Yes it has, but it still has its origin in Darkness, join me Andrew, and you're crest will become the crest of evil again, and we can be partners again. Rule the Digital world and the real world side by side as siblings. We'd be a family again, just like you always wanted."
I stared blankly at her, she was right we would, and she was the only family I had left. That was it just her, and it didn't look she was going to fight on the side of good, the only way for me to get my family back would be to fight alongside her with the crest of evil, even though I knew deep down I knew it was wrong.
I took a step towards her.
"Andrew no! Think back to when you did fight alongside her? How good was that?" I froze, now very very hesitant, Ken was right; during the time when we were fighting Kris and the other Digidestined she treated me like crap. What made me think that this would be any different? And I'd be doing horrible things again, my mind was already wracked with guilt from what I had done, and I was about to add to that guilt!
"No," I said. "I'm nothing like you! Not anymore! Ken is right! My crest may have originated in Darkness but it's not like that anymore, and I refuse to become like you."
"I was afraid of this," Emily said sighing. "You've been corrupted by the forces of Light. Too bad, you'll have to meet the meet the same fate as the rest of the Digidestined. You need to be exterminated, and you had so much potential – oh well, Blackgatomon take care of them."
Emily held up her crest and it began to glow that creepy dark light that my crest had once given off.
"Blackgatomon Digivolved to…………………Ladydevimon!"
"Ken?" Wormmon said.
Ken grabbed a hold of his Digivice and crest. "Yeah do it!"
"Wormmon Digivolved to………………………Stingmon!"
"Stingmon Digivolved to………………………..Dinobeemon!"
Ladydevimon and Dinobeemon both took to the air their elbows collided as the tried to attack each other, but Ladydevimon quickly took the advantage, as she delivered a kick to Dinobeemon's head sending the insect Digimon flying toward the bridge. Dinobeemon's wings quickly kicked in and allowed him to recover before he crashed into the bridge.
"Irritant Buzz!" Dinobeemon yelled firing bolt electricity from his wings at Ladydevimon.
"Darkness wave!" Ladydevimon yelled firing her own attack.
It easily engulfed Dinobeemon's attack, and Dinobeemon as attacked by dozens upon dozens of bats, as they cleared away, Dinobeemon had been weakened and fell, crashing onto the bridge.
"Dinobeemon are you okay?" Ken asked.
"Fine," Dinobeemon said.
He got up taking off into the air once again, taking a few swings at Ladydevimon with his dinosaur claws. However Ladydevimon has too fast, dodging each one with minimal effort then kicked Dinobeemon a second time and once again he crashed into the bridge, making another huge dent in the bridge.
"I could use a little help here Demidevimon!" Dinobeemon said.
"He's right Andrew," Demidevimon said. "Let me Digivolve."
I hesitantly held my Digivice. "I – uh."
"What's wrong?" Demidevimon said. "You've never been hesitant about letting me fight before. I thought you'd accepted that you were actually one of them."
"I have," I said. "But – she's my sister – I – can't attack her, despite what she's done."
"I know it's hard!" Ken yelled. "But you have to, Dinobeemon can't do it alone."
"Andrew?" Demidevimon said.
"I – I can't – I know what she's like and she's killed murdered and tortured, but she's still my sister."
"Darkness Explosion!" Ladydevimon yelled firing her most powerful attack. Dinobeemon didn't even have to think about countering the attack as it hit him full force. As it cleared Dinobeemon was now Minomon and crashed onto the bridge beside Ken Demidevimon and I.
Emily laughed. "So Demidevimon are you next?"
Demidevimon glanced over at me, looking for the okay.
"Alright," I said very hesitantly. "But just Ladydevimon, don't hurt Emily."
"Okay, whatever you say," Demidevimon said flying into the air towards Ladydevimon as I readied my Digivice and my crest.
"Demidevimon Digivolved to…………….Airdramon!"
"Airdramon Digivolved to………………..Gigadramon!"
Gigadramon continued to fly towards Ladydevimon opening his missile launcher. He shot his arm forward and clamped it shut attempting to trap Ladydevimon within it, but Ladydevimon was an agile flyer and easily dodged Gigadramon taking off into the air above him.
"Darkness Wave!"
Bats exploded from Ladydevimon's hands, which soon covered Gigadramon's entire body, but Gigadramon was able to get rid of all of them.
"Giga missile!" Gigadramon yelled launching a missile from his hand mounted missile launcher.
Despite the missile's large size compared to Ladydevimon, Ladydevimon was able to easily catch the missile and toss it harmlessly aside.
"Impressive," Ladydevimon said. "You're stronger than that insect at least. However you were definitely stronger as Phantomon. Too bad your partner's become corrupt."
"He's not corrupt," Gigadramon said angrily.
"Ladydevimon I've got more important things to do than deal with my traitor brother, I need to supervise Piedmon's battle to make sure that Compassion is not damaged. Finish this fight now."
Ladydevimon sneered. "If you say so?"
"This battle isn't over yet!" Gigadramon yelled.
He brought out his wings and flew at Ladydevimon wrapping his tail around the Emily's Digimon, and started crushing her.
"I won't let you hurt Andrew! Even if it means killing you!"
"Ladydevimon stop toying with him and finish him." Emily said, as a grin grew wider on her face. "Drain him."
"Yes Emi – Empress." Ladydevimon said.
The fallen angel Digimon easily freed her hands then dug her claws into Gigadramon's tail. It started to glow as the colour started to disappear from his tail beginning to move up his body.
"What is she doing to him?" I yelled at Emily.
"Draining his energy first," Emily said laughing. "Then his data, you heard the only way to kill a Digimon is to kill their Digidestined partner. Not completely true, this is the second way. Too bad for him, he could have made a powerful minion, too bad he had to side with you."
"Y-you're bluffing!" I yelled.
"Wait five minutes and find out."
I stared at Gigadramon as the colour slowly began to drain from his body. His energy was disappearing, my best friend – was dying. It was happening again, first my mother, then my father, now I was losing him too! Emily was all I would have left. Or would I? Emily had changed, a lot more than I thought she had, during the fight with the Canadian Digidestined she did horrible things, but I thought she was just playing her part in the game like I had been, and that she could be reformed like me, but now she was gone, she wasn't the sweet innocent girl that I grew up with she'd changed, in a way I'd lost her too, and Gigadramon was really all I had left, and I wasn't going to lose him! I wasn't going to sit back and lose Gigadramon like I had lost my parents and my sister! Even if it meant attacking the one family member I had left.
"Stop it now!" I yelled charging at Emily.
She didn't see it coming; she was too busy concentrating on what was happening to Gigadramon. I jumped on her and tackled her to the ground.
"Andrew what are you doing!" she yelled.
"I'm saving my best friend." I said. "And even if it means killing you." Emily laughed. "You? You're too weak to ever kill, let alone kill your own sister."
"Watch me!"
I began to push her closer to the end of the bridge; I could feel tears running down my face, I can't believe I was going this! But I had too; my sister had dyed a long time ago. She was someone different now; if I didn't do this I'd lose Gigadramon too.
"Okay Andrew, this isn't funny anymore!" Emily yelled as her face changed to a worried one. "Stop it."
"I'm sorry Emily, you're my sister and I care about you, but I have to do this."
"I said stop it!" she yelled!
Her feet landed on my stomach. Not exactly something I had been expecting. I fell to the ground holding my stomach.
"How dare you!" she yelled as she pulled a whip from her waist. "How dare you attack the Digimon Empress, to think the two of us once were partners. The thought is so disgusting."
She pulled back the whip and snapped it forward, and a stinging sensation shocked my cheek as the whip hit it. But the stinging pain soon faded as I noticed something, odd.
"Emily the whip."
"What about it?" she asked.
"You're holding it with your left hand."
"Yeah so!"
"Before when we were partners you always used your right hand."
"Huh, yeah so I switched big deal."
"That's not all," I said getting up approaching her. "That scar on your cheek, when Dad hit you for coming home late, it was on your left cheek, now it's on your right."
"So!" she yelled angrily.
"You're not my sister are you," I said.
"What? Of course I am. What makes you say that?"
"Everything's falling into place now. You're just another one of Evamon's stupid human copies."
"Shut up!" she yelled angrily. "I'm not a copy! Those copies are idiots! They're mindless! Do I look mindless to you?"
I shook my head. "No you don't, but Evamon's never ceased to amaze me before, if he can revive evil Digimon, then why shouldn't he be able make an intelligent human copy."
I moved closer and grabbed Emily's wrists pushing her up against a steel beam. "And I've learned enough about human copies to know that they have a self destruct button, in case they ever turn against their masters. I reached my hand behind Emily's ear, finding the button immediately.
"NO!" she yelled trying to resist, but I was ready this time and stronger than her so she couldn't break free.
I quickly pushed the button, which immediately triggered her body to shatter, as the copies data floated into the air soon accompanied by the Ladydevimon copy. Gigadramon collapsed from exhaustion changing back into Demidevimon as I caught him.
"Did we beat'em?" he asked weakly.
"Yeah," I answered as I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder, it was Ken's.
"Andrew I'm sorry," he said. "I know that must have been hard for you to do, but you did do the right thing, even if it doesn't feel like it is."
"Don't be ridiculous," I said bitterly. "Of course it was, and it wasn't that hard. It's not like she's really my sister or something she was just a copy. Emily she's – she's gone."
I desperately tried to hold back the oncoming tears, I had a reputation of being the bitter mean one of the group, and I had to protect that. I could tell Ken was about to say something, but he was interrupting as the sky began to rip apart.
"Oh no," I said. "I've seen this before."
"Yeah," Demidevimon said. "Evamon."

That's the end of Chapter 30 (35). Before I begin the next chapter I would like to warn you, it's going to be a lemon! That's rigt, once the next chapter is up this fic will be NC-17. I don't plan on changing it unless I get an overwhelming amount of reviews telling me not to, like ten or over and even if I do it'll still contain a lime, but if you do want me to...let me know, and I will anyway. Who will it be...you'll have to read it
You know! I don't own Digimon I won't even bother complaining about disclaimers anymore.

Chapter 30: Darkness's Return
Andrew
Demidevimon and I stepped back into my room for the first time in about a week. Not like that was a bad thing or anything, I'd actually enjoyed staying in Japan at Ken's place. Living with an actual caring family one that actually cared what happened to each other, Ken's parents were actually worried about him when they found out he was leaving for a while. Here was completely different, my father didn't care what happened to me, he hadn't even realized that I had left, I'm not sure he even realized that Emily was dead yet, I wouldn't be surprised if he never did.
I plopped down on my bed as my six houseguests walked into my room.
"Matt Tai," I said to Matt and Tai two of the people staying with me. "You guys can stay in my sister's room, Ken you can lay down your sleeping bag on the floor you're with me."
"Okay," Tai said. "Thanks, you're sure your Dad doesn't mind if we stay here."
"So long as you don't touch his alcohol supply he doesn't care."
"Great," Matt said examining the dilapidated surroundings. "A couple days of living here, I'm so excited."
"Matt it's not that bad," Gabumon said. "It doesn't look any messier than your apartment."
"Yeah…" Matt said laughing. "But they didn't have to know that."
They continued to just stand there, things were getting awkward fast.
"If you're waiting for someone to carry your suitcases to your room you're going to be waiting a long time, this isn't a hotel. I don't look like a bellhop do I?"
Both Matt and Tai picked up their suitcases and began walking towards Emily's – or what used to be my s Emily's room, I guess with her gone, it wasn't anybody's anymore.
"Wow Mr. Personality," Agumon said quietly as he followed the other three. I noticed as both Ken and Wormmon, began to look at me with concerned eyes, great here it comes another pity speech.
"Andrew I've been meaning to talk to you about something," Ken said.
"Yeah, yeah." I said bitterly. "Just what almost everybody has told me, I understand what you're going through blah blah blah. How could a person who came from such a perfect and caring family possibly understand what I'm going through?"
"Perfect caring family yeah that's funny."
"What are you talking about? I saw the way you and your parents got along looks like the perfect family life for me."
"It wasn't always like that you know," Wormmon said.
"And yeah," Ken said. "I was going to say I understand what you're going through, but that's only because I can."
"Look just because you were once the Digimon Emperor too doesn't mean you know what I've going through. Sure we both feel guilty about the bad things we've done you still don't understand."
"What you mean losing your sister?"
"Yeah…"
"I understand that too, a while back my brother died and-"
"Sorry, but that doesn't mean you know what I've been through, you have no idea what my life's been like."
"Try me."
"Better sit down," Demidevimon said. "It's a long story."
I smiled briefly at my Digimon, but withdrew it immediately when I noticed that Ken and Wormmon had seen me smile.
"I'll try and give you the condensed version." I said. "See when I was about two my mother disappeared, that sent my father into a downward spiral of drinking, drinking and more drinking. He neglected my infant sister, and I was forced to take care of her, I tried my best to raise her as best I could but she still ended up, well unlike your normal kid, she ended up…. well – evil, then when Kris and the others defeated us Evamon tried to dispose of us, he couldn't hurt me because my crest had been modified, but Emily wasn't so lucky. Do you see what I mean, I've had a rough life even before I lost Emily, you have no idea what that's like."
"You'd be surprised," Wormmon said.
"Actually I do, I know exactly how you feel, I didn't exactly have a easy life growing up either. See my older brother was kind of a genius, and my parents gave him all the attention, I didn't get any. I was totally ignored they were less than what you would call caring. Then Sam died and things only got worse, I was pushed into studying as they tried to make me more like my brother. For a while I struggled then I became infected with the Dark Spore, that helped, but it didn't bring us closer together, it turned me into the Digimon Emperor and tore us apart. It wasn't until recently when I stopped being the Digimon Emperor that we actually began to act like a normal family."
As he fell silent I looked at him, he wasn't lying, I could always tell when someone was lying and he was actually telling the truth. Maybe he did actually understand me, I knew no one else did with the exception of Demidevimon. After all like me he had been a Digimon Emperor, and tortured innocent Digimon, he wouldn't care about the things I did in the past. I should have said something like 'Thanks' but I didn't that just wouldn't be like me. Instead I just looked away and grunted.
"You should really try to be friendlier," Ken said. "I was like that once, I found out you could make friends easier if you just be nicer. You're one of us now, you're not fighting for Evamon anymore, there's no reason to be so bitter." "Okay, let's get one thing straight! I am not one of you!" I held out my crest. "See this! My crest, it's black! Black! It's a dark crest! It was given to me by the powers of Darkness, unlike the rest of you who got yours from the powers of Light, even you the once Digimon Emperor got your crest from the powers of Light. You're an official Digidestined, I'm just a minion of Evamon that's been modified so I can fight beside you."
"But it was modified by the powers of Light, which means your powers may have originated from Darkness, but they're not like that anymore. You're Dark powers were taken away the second you renounced your old ways. You're Dark powers disappeared replaced by those of Light; your powers are those of Light now, not Darkness. You are one of us. The fact that your crest is black is irrelevant it's just a colour, it's not important."
"Maybe, but none the less unlike all of you I was never intended to be Digidestined. The forces of Light just saw a chance to give you a little extra help and took it that's all."
"You have to stop saying that, you're just as much a member of the team as any of us, the forces of Light allowed you to become one of us for a reason, you're not just some convenience."
"Fine," I said. "Believe what you want to believe, it doesn't change the fact that I'm not a true Digidestined."
"I don't even know why I'm bothering," Ken sighed. "I could talk to you forever and have faith that you're one of us but it won't make much of a difference unless you believe it yourself. Come on Wormmon, let's see what Tai and Matt are up to."
Ken scooped his Digimon into his arms; they both gave me one last look before they left the room.
"They were right you know," Demidevimon said fluttering down from my bedpost onto my stomach.
"About what? Ken said a lot of things."
"About being nicer, you don't have to be so bitter all the time."
I laughed. "And you're one to talk, your not exactly social yourself." Demidevimon laughed back. "Yeah but I'm expected to be like that, I'm Demidevimon the rat. I've got a reputation to protect you know."
We both laughed again as I sat back on my bed, there wasn't much else to do around here.
* * *
Two days past since we got home with barely after any response from Evamon or any of his minions, there was a slight incident at the Supermarket with one of the Dark Masters, but he Kris was able to take care of that, and now one of the Dark Masters was out of our hair, leaving only three left, and Evamon himself. Tai was always dreading their appearance claiming that they were one of the most powerful Digimon they'd ever fought, but I didn't see why he was so scared, so far we hadn't had any trouble with them whatsoever, Metalseadramon had been beaten easily, and Puppetmon had not only been beaten he'd been destroyed, both easily. The Dark Masters aren't what I was really fearing, it was Evamon himself that I was worried about, I'd seen what he could do, I'd actually met him, and I'd suffered loss at his hands. These Dark Masters didn't seem that tough at all; compared to Evamon they were nothing.
Now I was at the refrigerator, trying to assemble a makeshift meal from what little food that we had, all we had was the basics, bread Milk, and some fruit. I ate fruit a lot, it was easier to steal, and what little fruit we did have had all gone bad.
"Sorry guys," I said to the five watching my black and white TV. "Nothing, I'll have to go out and grab something later."
"Don't worry about that," Matt said. "I've got cash, I'll order a pizza." I could feel my mouth water at just the mention of pizza; it's been years since I've had some.
"Great!" I said enthusiastically. "Order one now."
Both Matt and Tai looked at me strange but nodded. They were lucky they probably had pizza all the time. They probably had no idea what a treat it was to just eat something that wasn't expired. I reached for the phone, but before I even touched it four beeping sounds filled the room, it sounded like the distress signal beep from the Digivices. I took my D3 out of my pocket only to have my suspicion confirmed. Tai Matt and Ken did the same.
"What is it?" Demidevimon asked fluttering across the room and landing on my shoulder.
I stared blankly at the screen, this couldn't be!
"Ken did you accidently hit the distress signal button on your D3?"
Ken shook his head. "No, I thought you did, the signal I'm getting is-"
"I know! Black!" I yelled. "Let's go we've got to check this out!"
I didn't waste a second, I tore out of the house and began running in the direction where the distress signal was coming from, Tai, Agumon, Matt, Gabumon, Wormmon were close behind, and Demidevimon was desperately trying not to fall off of my shoulder.
I was more concerned of that distress signal than anything else. The signal was black, the colour of the signal varied depending on the colour of the Digivice from where it was sent, Ken and I both had black Digivices, but neither of us had sent the signal and there was only one other with a black Digivice – no! It couldn't be her, though I would love it if it were.
I continued to eye the screen noticing as aside from the four of us and our Digimon sixteen other Digidestined and Digimon were moving in on the location of the distress signal, maybe they'd come to the same conclusion. Well the Canadian ones anyway, with the exception of Will. Soon we came upon an intersection, where we met up with Kris, Jenn, Elecmon and Penguinmon also running in the same direction we were.
"Andrew!" Kris yelled at me. "The distress signal you didn't send it?"
"No," I answered.
"So that means."
I nodded as a smile crossed my face. "Yeah I know."
Both he and Jenn and their Digimon had less excited looks on their face, but I couldn't blame. As we ran we soon ran into the rest of the team, soon all twenty Digidestined and Digimon were reunited.
It was fifteen minutes later that we finally reached the spot from where the distress signal had been sent. It was the town bridge, a really big one at that, four lanes wide, overlapping river rapids, not the kind in the wild the polluted kind,. But still just as dangerous. People were running screaming from the bridge from both sides, running from their cars abandoning them, and for good reason. In the center of the bridge, were three Digimon, one giant metallic dinosaur, another I recognized as Metalseadramon, and a third clown like Digimon.
"Great, just great." Tai moaned. "They're all together, this is going to be one tough fight."
We made our way to the center of the bridge all standing a few feet in front of the remaining Dark Masters. But the Dark Masters weren't what I was concentrating on; it has the person standing in front of them, along with the Digimon hanging off her shoulder.
"E-Emily!" I yelled happily upon seeing my sister.
Without I ran up to her, giving her the biggest hug I'd ever giving.
"Thank god!" I yelled. "I thought you were dead! I thought I'd never see you again."
"Get off of me traitor!" Emily yelled bitterly as she pushed me away I fell to the ground.
As I looked up at her I realized that she was wearing her Digimon Empress outfit.
"Emily what are you doing? With them – wearing that - I thought-"
"What?" she snapped. "That just because I'd been defeated once, that I'd just give up. Like you, that I'd end up like you and jump to join this group of idiots like you jumped into doing. Traitor!"
"Why does this not surprise me," Dan said. "Not even death can get this bitch out of our hair."
"Emily why are you doing this?" I asked. "You must have realized by now this is no game, we were actually causing pain."
"Of course I did, and you know that I knew. I'm not an idiot like you. You knew very well that I knew."
"But why are you doing this!"
"Because I want power! Isn't it obvious? And I finally have it, I've been promoted, I'm Evamon's second in command, these Dark Master's are now mine to command, and soon both the Digital World and the real world will be under my total control."
"You know Evamon will never let you have total control, you'll be his slave!" Kris said.
"A small price to pay, I'd rather have to answer to one person, that answer to millions like all of you will soon have to."
"Emily please don't do this!" I begged. "I know you, you're not like this!" "You obviously don't know me! I need power! I won't go back to that pathetic life again. I refuse to! Sure Evamon treats me horribly! But so does our father, and at least under Evamon I'm an the Digimon Empress, under our father I'm just the reason our mother left."
I opened my mouth to speak but was interrupted as the clown like Digimon stepped forward and spoke.
"I'm getting tired of all this stupid talking, I came here to get revenge on those who have caused me to sit in limbo for three years."
"Yes," the giant metal dinosaur Digimon said. "I too am growing tired of this."
"Machinedramon, Piedmon. Shut up! We'll fight when I decide it's time."
"Why should any of us listen to you!" the clown like Digimon, or Piedmon said. "You're just a pathetic human. And you're Digimon can only Digivolve into the Ultimate level we're all at the Mega level."
"Piedmon, what did Evamon tell you to do," my sister said smugly.
"To listen to you, no matter what you said." Piedmon said angrily.
"And do you want to have to answer to him if he hears you weren't doing what he said."
"No," Piedmon said angrily and looking away.
"But you're right, this is boring, I think we should do what we came to do, but it's only fair if we divide the fight up evenly. Piedmon, you take first choice."
Piedmon grinned. "I think I'll take, the two Japanese Megas, along with the one you destroyed me, and maybe the leader of the Canadians as well."
"Alright, Tai, Matt, T.K and Kris." Emily said grinning. "That's fine with me, just make sure that you keep the leader of the Canadian Digidestined alive, I need him for something."
Both Jenn and Kris cringed as she said that. Emily had mentioned she had plans for Kris before, but I never really did find out what they were.
"I'll do my best," Piedmon said laughing. "But I can't make any promises."
"You better!" Emily yelled. "I don't care if you hurt him, but make sure he's alive, and the area below his waist better stay in tact."
Piedmon ignored her, and only looked away for a second.
"Blackgatomon and I will take the two traitors," Emily said. By that I assumed she meant Ken and I. "Machinedramon, Metalseadramon, you can have the rest, I think six each will be enough."
"Sounds fine to me," Metalseadramon bragged. "But doesn't that leave two extra?" Emily grinned evilly. "You're right it does, we can't have that can we? Piedmon, do me a favor and get rid of two of these Digidestined for me."
"It would be my pleasure," Piedmon said. "Clown Trick!"
Piedmon formed a ring of fire in his hand sand threw it at the crowd. I didn't see what happened right away, but I couldn't help but look when I heard Janine scream. The ring of fire had landed just around Janine and Dan, with them in the center. The ring took a huge chunk out of the bridge, the very chunk that Dan and Janine were standing on.
"Dan!"
"Janine!" Gizamon and Otamamon both yelled.
We could only watch in horror as a large chunk of the bridge along with Janine and Dan fell into the raging and unforgiving river, they both disappeared below the water.
"NO!" Otamamon and Gizamon both yelled.
Gizamon did it first, jumping off of the bridge into the water, Otamamon followed quickly. Kris and Elecmon tried to stop them but there was no way they ever could have, it all happened way to fast.
"You!" Kris yelled angrily. "Don't you have any respect for life! How dare you! You'll pay for this!"
"Oh that's original," Emily said laughing. "Good choice Piedmon, the guy called me a bitch, and that girl just plain annoyed me."
I could only stare in horror and look blankly at my sister. Dan and Janine – gone. In less than a second, four members of our team had just been lost so quickly. Despite how bitterly I acted towards both of them, I still felt this emptiness inside me. They were still my friends, and what was worse was that Emily had caused it. My little sister! The sweet innocent little girl that I had raised, or tried to raise myself, except she wasn't sweet and innocent anymore, she hadn't been for a long time, but somehow I just couldn't see anyone else but my little sister in her, unlike everyone else who saw a dangerous evil and insane megalomaniac.
Piedmon began to hover into the air. "Let's go, we're all going to be fighting in different places, follow me to the spot where we'll fight."
Patamon flew from his perch on T.K's head and into the air. "Come on. I'll be your ride."
"Patamon Digivolved to………………Angemon!"
"Angemon Digivolved to……………..Magnaangemon!"
"We better get going," Tai said as he and Agumon climbed onto Magnaangemon's back along with T.K, Matt and Gabumon.
"Good luck," Jenn said to Kris as they kissed. Did they have to do that in public?
"You too," he said to her, as he and Elecmon climbed onto the giant angel's back, who took to the air following Piedmon.
The same thing happened with Machinedramon and Metalseadramon, who flew/walked away, with the rest of our team riding on top of Parrotmon following to the spot where they would fight. Leaving only Ken and I along with our Digimon here, to face my sister and Blackgatomon.
"So what happens now?" Demidevimon asked glaring at Blackgatomon. "Do you start fighting?"
"I'm giving you both one last chance, you both once fought on the side of evil, and you can still rejoin it. Of course you won't have as much power as me, but it's better than being worthless slaves."
"I don't think so," Ken said immediately.
"I knew you'd say that," Emily said continuing to grin. "You're corrupted with that crest of Kindness aren't you? But Andrew you're different, you've got a Dark crest, you're not one of them like Ken is. You're like me, one of the evil Digidestined. You've got great potential for evil."
"Don't listen to her Andrew!" Ken yelled. "That's not true anymore your crest has changed."
"Yes it has, but it still has its origin in Darkness, join me Andrew, and you're crest will become the crest of evil again, and we can be partners again. Rule the Digital world and the real world side by side as siblings. We'd be a family again, just like you always wanted."
I stared blankly at her, she was right we would, and she was the only family I had left. That was it just her, and it didn't look she was going to fight on the side of good, the only way for me to get my family back would be to fight alongside her with the crest of evil, even though I knew deep down I knew it was wrong.
I took a step towards her.
"Andrew no! Think back to when you did fight alongside her? How good was that?" I froze, now very very hesitant, Ken was right; during the time when we were fighting Kris and the other Digidestined she treated me like crap. What made me think that this would be any different? And I'd be doing horrible things again, my mind was already wracked with guilt from what I had done, and I was about to add to that guilt!
"No," I said. "I'm nothing like you! Not anymore! Ken is right! My crest may have originated in Darkness but it's not like that anymore, and I refuse to become like you."
"I was afraid of this," Emily said sighing. "You've been corrupted by the forces of Light. Too bad, you'll have to meet the meet the same fate as the rest of the Digidestined. You need to be exterminated, and you had so much potential – oh well, Blackgatomon take care of them."
Emily held up her crest and it began to glow that creepy dark light that my crest had once given off.
"Blackgatomon Digivolved to…………………Ladydevimon!"
"Ken?" Wormmon said.
Ken grabbed a hold of his Digivice and crest. "Yeah do it!"
"Wormmon Digivolved to………………………Stingmon!"
"Stingmon Digivolved to………………………..Dinobeemon!"
Ladydevimon and Dinobeemon both took to the air their elbows collided as the tried to attack each other, but Ladydevimon quickly took the advantage, as she delivered a kick to Dinobeemon's head sending the insect Digimon flying toward the bridge. Dinobeemon's wings quickly kicked in and allowed him to recover before he crashed into the bridge.
"Irritant Buzz!" Dinobeemon yelled firing bolt electricity from his wings at Ladydevimon.
"Darkness wave!" Ladydevimon yelled firing her own attack.
It easily engulfed Dinobeemon's attack, and Dinobeemon as attacked by dozens upon dozens of bats, as they cleared away, Dinobeemon had been weakened and fell, crashing onto the bridge.
"Dinobeemon are you okay?" Ken asked.
"Fine," Dinobeemon said.
He got up taking off into the air once again, taking a few swings at Ladydevimon with his dinosaur claws. However Ladydevimon has too fast, dodging each one with minimal effort then kicked Dinobeemon a second time and once again he crashed into the bridge, making another huge dent in the bridge.
"I could use a little help here Demidevimon!" Dinobeemon said.
"He's right Andrew," Demidevimon said. "Let me Digivolve."
I hesitantly held my Digivice. "I – uh."
"What's wrong?" Demidevimon said. "You've never been hesitant about letting me fight before. I thought you'd accepted that you were actually one of them."
"I have," I said. "But – she's my sister – I – can't attack her, despite what she's done."
"I know it's hard!" Ken yelled. "But you have to, Dinobeemon can't do it alone."
"Andrew?" Demidevimon said.
"I – I can't – I know what she's like and she's killed murdered and tortured, but she's still my sister."
"Darkness Explosion!" Ladydevimon yelled firing her most powerful attack. Dinobeemon didn't even have to think about countering the attack as it hit him full force. As it cleared Dinobeemon was now Minomon and crashed onto the bridge beside Ken Demidevimon and I.
Emily laughed. "So Demidevimon are you next?"
Demidevimon glanced over at me, looking for the okay.
"Alright," I said very hesitantly. "But just Ladydevimon, don't hurt Emily."
"Okay, whatever you say," Demidevimon said flying into the air towards Ladydevimon as I readied my Digivice and my crest.
"Demidevimon Digivolved to…………….Airdramon!"
"Airdramon Digivolved to………………..Gigadramon!"
Gigadramon continued to fly towards Ladydevimon opening his missile launcher. He shot his arm forward and clamped it shut attempting to trap Ladydevimon within it, but Ladydevimon was an agile flyer and easily dodged Gigadramon taking off into the air above him.
"Darkness Wave!"
Bats exploded from Ladydevimon's hands, which soon covered Gigadramon's entire body, but Gigadramon was able to get rid of all of them.
"Giga missile!" Gigadramon yelled launching a missile from his hand mounted missile launcher.
Despite the missile's large size compared to Ladydevimon, Ladydevimon was able to easily catch the missile and toss it harmlessly aside.
"Impressive," Ladydevimon said. "You're stronger than that insect at least. However you were definitely stronger as Phantomon. Too bad your partner's become corrupt."
"He's not corrupt," Gigadramon said angrily.
"Ladydevimon I've got more important things to do than deal with my traitor brother, I need to supervise Piedmon's battle to make sure that Compassion is not damaged. Finish this fight now."
Ladydevimon sneered. "If you say so?"
"This battle isn't over yet!" Gigadramon yelled.
He brought out his wings and flew at Ladydevimon wrapping his tail around the Emily's Digimon, and started crushing her.
"I won't let you hurt Andrew! Even if it means killing you!"
"Ladydevimon stop toying with him and finish him." Emily said, as a grin grew wider on her face. "Drain him."
"Yes Emi – Empress." Ladydevimon said.
The fallen angel Digimon easily freed her hands then dug her claws into Gigadramon's tail. It started to glow as the colour started to disappear from his tail beginning to move up his body.
"What is she doing to him?" I yelled at Emily.
"Draining his energy first," Emily said laughing. "Then his data, you heard the only way to kill a Digimon is to kill their Digidestined partner. Not completely true, this is the second way. Too bad for him, he could have made a powerful minion, too bad he had to side with you."
"Y-you're bluffing!" I yelled.
"Wait five minutes and find out."
I stared at Gigadramon as the colour slowly began to drain from his body. His energy was disappearing, my best friend – was dying. It was happening again, first my mother, then my father, now I was losing him too! Emily was all I would have left. Or would I? Emily had changed, a lot more than I thought she had, during the fight with the Canadian Digidestined she did horrible things, but I thought she was just playing her part in the game like I had been, and that she could be reformed like me, but now she was gone, she wasn't the sweet innocent girl that I grew up with she'd changed, in a way I'd lost her too, and Gigadramon was really all I had left, and I wasn't going to lose him! I wasn't going to sit back and lose Gigadramon like I had lost my parents and my sister! Even if it meant attacking the one family member I had left.
"Stop it now!" I yelled charging at Emily.
She didn't see it coming; she was too busy concentrating on what was happening to Gigadramon. I jumped on her and tackled her to the ground.
"Andrew what are you doing!" she yelled.
"I'm saving my best friend." I said. "And even if it means killing you." Emily laughed. "You? You're too weak to ever kill, let alone kill your own sister."
"Watch me!"
I began to push her closer to the end of the bridge; I could feel tears running down my face, I can't believe I was going this! But I had too; my sister had dyed a long time ago. She was someone different now; if I didn't do this I'd lose Gigadramon too.
"Okay Andrew, this isn't funny anymore!" Emily yelled as her face changed to a worried one. "Stop it."
"I'm sorry Emily, you're my sister and I care about you, but I have to do this."
"I said stop it!" she yelled!
Her feet landed on my stomach. Not exactly something I had been expecting. I fell to the ground holding my stomach.
"How dare you!" she yelled as she pulled a whip from her waist. "How dare you attack the Digimon Empress, to think the two of us once were partners. The thought is so disgusting."
She pulled back the whip and snapped it forward, and a stinging sensation shocked my cheek as the whip hit it. But the stinging pain soon faded as I noticed something, odd.
"Emily the whip."
"What about it?" she asked.
"You're holding it with your left hand."
"Yeah so!"
"Before when we were partners you always used your right hand."
"Huh, yeah so I switched big deal."
"That's not all," I said getting up approaching her. "That scar on your cheek, when Dad hit you for coming home late, it was on your left cheek, now it's on your right."
"So!" she yelled angrily.
"You're not my sister are you," I said.
"What? Of course I am. What makes you say that?"
"Everything's falling into place now. You're just another one of Evamon's stupid human copies."
"Shut up!" she yelled angrily. "I'm not a copy! Those copies are idiots! They're mindless! Do I look mindless to you?"
I shook my head. "No you don't, but Evamon's never ceased to amaze me before, if he can revive evil Digimon, then why shouldn't he be able make an intelligent human copy."
I moved closer and grabbed Emily's wrists pushing her up against a steel beam. "And I've learned enough about human copies to know that they have a self destruct button, in case they ever turn against their masters. I reached my hand behind Emily's ear, finding the button immediately.
"NO!" she yelled trying to resist, but I was ready this time and stronger than her so she couldn't break free.
I quickly pushed the button, which immediately triggered her body to shatter, as the copies data floated into the air soon accompanied by the Ladydevimon copy. Gigadramon collapsed from exhaustion changing back into Demidevimon as I caught him.
"Did we beat'em?" he asked weakly.
"Yeah," I answered as I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder, it was Ken's.
"Andrew I'm sorry," he said. "I know that must have been hard for you to do, but you did do the right thing, even if it doesn't feel like it is."
"Don't be ridiculous," I said bitterly. "Of course it was, and it wasn't that hard. It's not like she's really my sister or something she was just a copy. Emily she's – she's gone."
I desperately tried to hold back the oncoming tears, I had a reputation of being the bitter mean one of the group, and I had to protect that. I could tell Ken was about to say something, but he was interrupting as the sky began to rip apart.
"Oh no," I said. "I've seen this before."
"Yeah," Demidevimon said. "Evamon."
------------------
That's the end of Chapter 30 (35). Before I begin the next chapter I would like to warn you, it's going to be a lemon! That's rigt, once the next chapter is up this fic will be NC-17. I don't plan on changing it unless I get an overwhelming amount of reviews telling me not to, like ten or over and even if I do it'll still contain a lime, but if you do want me to...let me know, and I will anyway. Who will it be...you'll have to read it
