I don't own Digimon this is only fan fiction so I beg of you if you do own Digimon don't sue me, I'm only an eighteen year old student you won't get much.

Now that the first part of the world tour is over I'm going to introduce the actual plot of this part of the story it's not a very long plot not half as long as the previous three, but I didn't want the world tour to be plotless like the one on the series so I had a few extra chapters to add some spice to it. Travis and Roy are featured a bit in this one, and will be featured a bit more in the next one.

Chapter 47: Second Chance Blown

Emily

I sighed as I sat back against a log, looking up towards the darkening sky. I was really starting to get annoyed, where were Kris and Jenn? It was almost eight o clock, they should have been here hours ago! So now I was here stuck with these laughing idiots, actually Rob wasn't so bad, he was only slightly less annoying than the others, and least he tolerated me.

They were all gathered around a fire that they'd started. Rob, Gotsumon, Sean, Tapirmon, Travis, Roy, and their two Lopmon. Those two Digimon looked almost exactly alike the only difference way you could tell them apart was by their horns, Travis's Lopmon had three horns, while Roy's Lopmon had one.

Didn't this group ever stop laughing, that's all I seemed to hear while I looked in the opposite direction of the happy group, while Blackgatomon slept in my arms. I didn't belong there, I wasn't one of them, I hadn't been given my crest and Digimon by the powers of light like they had, Andrew hadn't either, but he had received a crest from them, thus making him a member of their team. I was different, my D3 was black, and my crest hadn't changed when I'd given up being the Digimon Empress, I wasn't one of them and I never would be. Not that I cared! I didn't want to be one of them anyway. They were all a bunch of idiots, laughing and playing like children, why would I want to be like that?

My life had taken an interesting turn the past month, it had actually gotten better, my mother had come back into my life and my father was getting better. It was weird, a week ago I had gone to visit my father, and he was a completely different person, he was nice, he didn't seem like my father anymore, but at least it was a change for the better. It was still hard for me to spend time with my mother, I wasn't used to all this lovey dovey crap, the change was so overwhelming, but despite that I liked the way my life had changed.

All my life I had hoped for a family setting like this, and now I finally had it, but for some reason despite all that I had I still felt that same empty feeling I had before, when my family life was in tatters, there was only that brief period in my life while I was the Digimon Empress that the emptiness seemed filled. Could it be being the Digimon Empress that made me feel whole? I shuddered as that thought entered my head, no it couldn't be – or at least I hoped it wasn't. When I looked back on what I had done, I was horrified.

Yeah that right, despite the fact I was still bitter, and mean I had still changed, and I shuddered whenever I thought of the days I was the Digimon Empress. I really hoped that being the Digimon Empress was that one thing missing from my life that made me feel so empty.

"You hungry?" I heard Rob say.

I only slightly turned my head, he'd left the group and stood over me holding a fruit I couldn't identify in front of me, without a word I took it and started eating.

"Are you okay?" he asked. "You seem really distant."

"You know perfectly well I'm always like this," I said. "What do you want?"

He sat down next to me, and looked me in the eyes. "I just want to make sure you're okay, you don't exactly look happy."

"I'm fine," I snorted. "Just leave me alone."

He shook his head. "No, you're not fine. Something's bothering you and I want you to tell me what it is. I'm worried about you."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?"

"Being so nice to me? You're always checking to see if I'm okay, you talk to me without having a cold unforgiving stare on your face like the other's have, and you actually volunteered to take me with you. Have you forgotten what I've done? I'm not a nice person! You shouldn't be so nice to me."

"You've changed," he said. "I can see that, and I'm willing to forgive what you've done just like we all did with Andrew just give the others some time."

"Kris has accepted that I've changed, and has allowed me to enter the group, but just because he's done that doesn't mean he acts all weird and nice to me like you do."

He was hesitant to answer this time. "Um I -" he stuttered. "I just care about you okay, I want to make sure you're okay."

Great, I've seen this before, it wasn't the first time a guy had said that to me, though I had to admit this one was a good actor he really seemed like he meant it. I'd seen it a million times; prey on the abused girl just because she's vulnerable. I would never actually say this out loud, but he was cute, he was the first one that I even considered giving him what he wanted.

I sighed I might as well just set him straight. I turned my head and looked him straight in the eye giving him a stone cold look.

He swallowed "I'm dead now aren't I?"

I quickly grabbed a hold of his collar of his shirt and pulled his face towards mine bringing our lips together. The kiss wasn't too passionate but it lasted much longer than a simple peck. He began to slowly melt into it, which is when I abruptly broke it releasing the tight grip I had on his shirt collar.

I continued to look into his eyes and said. "There, are you happy you got what you wanted, but I wouldn't get your hopes up because you're not getting anything else."

"W-what?"

I rolled my eyes. "Don't act innocent, I've seen it all before. Guys think just because I have an alcoholic father I'm vulnerable and easy to take advantage of."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about! Use that dirty guy mind of yours."

"Look, I'm not trying to seduce you," he said. "Look – I admit – I – I do like you, I like you a lot, but I wasn't trying to get you into bed, I just care about you and want to make sure your okay."

He really was a good actor; he really did seem sincere, much more than all the other guys who had tried. Maybe he actually was being serious.

I shook my head shaking myself out of my dazed state. What just happened to me? I couldn't let my guard down like that; no guy had ever allowed me to let my guard down before. What was with this guy? I soon felt myself growing frustrated with him.

"Just leave me alone!" I yelled sitting up from my seat leaning against the log waking Blackgatomon as I did.

"What? Are we home yet?" she said stirring in my arms.

"No, but we're not staying here," I said beginning to trudge off into away from the campsite.

"Emily where are you going?" Rob asked.

"Anywhere but here," I said.

"You could get lost!"

"I've got my D3, if I need to I'll find you."

"But what if Kris shows up?"

"A giant half lion half jet liner isn't very hard to miss." I yelled.

"Wait Emily I can-"

"I said leave me alone!" I yelled.

He finally listened to me and only stood in his place as I wandered away from the campsite.

I sighed. Who was I kidding? He was being sincere, I could tell when someone was lying and he wasn't. He wasn't that bad a guy, he was cute, and kind of sweet, I guess I could have given him a chance. I couldn't do that though, I had a reputation, I couldn't just go gaw-gaw over some guy just because I found out he liked me, maybe eventually if I happened to end up like Andrew, and be slightly more friendly, but now I couldn't.

"Emily," Blackgatomon said. "Where are we going?"

"I don't know," I said. "I just want to get away from them."

"Feeling lost little one?" a voice boomed from out of nowhere.

Blackgatomon almost jumped from my arms as she heard the voice; meanwhile I froze in place and said the first thing that popped in my mind.

"Evamon?"

No! It wasn't Evamon, I knew Evamon's voice, it was imprinted into my mind, I only thought it was him at first because he had a tendency to appear out of nowhere with a booming voice. This voice was completely different from Evamon's.

"No I'm not Evamon," the voice said. "But I do owe him my life. If it weren't for him I wouldn't exist."

As those words appeared out of nowhere a giant fanged mouth also appeared out of nowhere hovering in front of us. He could only be one Digimon, I never met him myself but I knew who he was, Evamon had told me about his rebellious creation before – Myotismon.

Blackgatomon jumped from my arms and onto my shoulders, then pointed a claw at the fanged mouth.

"You can't be here!" she yelled. "You're dead, the Digidestined in Japan destroyed you."

"Don't you know you pathetic cat?" Myotismon said. "Digimon never die, they just get reconfigured."

"Normal Digimon yes," Blackgatomon said. "Digimon hatched from Digieggs and born naturally do, but you were one of Evamon's creations and Digimon created by Evamon do die."

"I am different," he said. "I was Evamon's first attempt to create an Ultimate Digimon, which is why I was able to rebel against him. He calls me his greatest mistake, I call myself his greatest achievement."

"I didn't ask for you stupid life story," I snapped. "What do you want?"

"You see I have been rendered without a body, thus I need someone to take care of something for me while my body is in the process of being created."

"What makes you think I'm just going to comply and do your work for you," I said walking past the floating fanged mouth but it only appeared in front of me.

"Because you want to," he said. "I've studied you Darkness. You may seem to be on the side of good but I know you, you yearned to allied with me, you yearn to join the side of Darkness."

"Stop it!" I yelled. "Don't call me Darkness! I'm not like that anymore I've changed."

"You'd like to believe that wouldn't you? You want to believe that you are good, but you must face up to the facts Darkness, you aren't good, you're just as evil as I or Evamon."

"No! I'm not," I yelled. "I'm nothing like that anymore, look for yourself my crest! It's I've got nothing but a blank crest now, it proves I am no longer like you."

Myotismon laughed. "That's the evidence you're going on. Your crest is gone because it was created and given to you by Evamon; with Evamon dead your crest dies too. The Digidestined got their crest from the forces of Digital light if they were to be destroyed their crests would be too. I too have the power to give you a crest, if I were to give you that power your crest would return."

"Y-you have the power to give me my crest back?" I said. "Blackgatomon would be able to Digivolve again?"

"See, you're intrigued, you like the idea of becoming dark again."

"No! Never!" I yelled, however with every word he spoke I found myself believing my own words less and less. He might be right. "I-I just like the idea of Blackgatomon being able to Digivolve that's all."

"That's not all your interested in," he said. "You want your power back, all the time you were the Digimon all you thought you wanted was a family, like your enemies had, that time when you were the Digimon Empress was the only time your life felt whole because you thought that would finally satisfy yourself and get at least some form of what you wanted, and now that you finally have what you wanted and you've given up your title as the Digimon Empress you feel that emptiness again, the only time you felt whole was when you were the Digimon Empress, face it you want Darkness again, it is the only way you can feel whole again."

"I-I-don't know what I want," I stuttered.

"Emily!" Blackgatomon yelled. "You can't possibly be considering listening to him are you."

"He's right," I said. "The only time I've ever felt whole was when I was the Digimon Empress, the only time, even now when my life is supposedly perfect I still feel empty!"

"That's right," he said. "And you can have it all back, I only ask you two things."

"What?"

"Emily you can't," Blackgatomon said.

I ignored her and listened to what Myotismon had to say.

"First for the time being you swear allegiance to me. Second you destroy the Digidestined of Canada, once that task is done you can do what you wish with your new power."

"D-destroy them," I said. "Why do I need to destroy them? You're an all powerful Digimon you can do that without my help."

"Don't tell me the once ruthless Digimon Empress is getting soft, not willing to destroy them?"

"I am! – I – I just don't see the point."

"The Digidestined are strong, stronger than I once thought. They were able to defeat Evamon, and even in when my plans in Japan are complete and my body is completed I will not be able to defeat them if they are together, if the Canadian group is exterminated I will have no problem with the Japanese group, all I ask of you is their termination, then you are free to do what you want."

I shook my head. "I – don't know."

"Emily think about this," Blackgatomon said. "You're my partner, and I'll stick by you no matter what you decide, but -"

"But nothing!" Myotismon boomed. "Darkness, thing about it. You still aren't happy even though you've gained a family the only time you were ever happy was when you were the Digimon Empress. Do you really want to go back to that life, and be one of them, you said it yourself their all pathetic."

I clutched my fists, he was right, even my brother had turned, they were all nothing but commoners, and what was worse is that they were willing to accept life a life like that.

"Do you really want to go back?" Myotismon continued. "Go back to being one of them? You have the potential to be so much more than that, they have enormous power but they don't use it to their advantage, they waste it. You don't have to be like that Emily, join the side of Darkness again and you can have unlimited power instead of being like those weaklings. You would have your crest back, your power would return to you. Do you really want to be like this for the rest of your life? A weakling, if you continue like this you will only end up a Digidestined of Light like them, even worse, you'd be a dime a dozen Digidestined whose Digimon's strongest level was at the Champion level. Do you really want to be that weak"

My mind was racing at the moment; he was right with every new word he said he made more and more sense. I didn't want to be like them, they were all weaklings, they could use their powers for so much more, and instead they chose to waste them. I couldn't end up like that; I wasn't like them at all! I was better. I was only weaker now because I had chosen to fight on their side, on the side of Darkness I was stronger, Blackgatomon would be able to Digivolve, but still did I really want to destroy them?

"I – just don't know."

"Darkness, even if you did want to be one of them, what makes you think you could? What makes you think they'd accept you? You saw the way they treated you, they would never let you become one of them. Sure they let you come on this little mission, but they will only tolerate you for so long. You can never be one of them even if you wanted to.'

Once again he was right, and making more sense with every word. I couldn't be one of them, they would never accept me, not that I cared, I didn't want to be one of those weaklings anyway I wanted power, the truth was I hated being in this state, with Blackgatomon being unable to Digivolve, I felt so weak. I also didn't want to be like those pathetic Digidestined, I was meant for so much more than simple life like they wanted, I was destined for so much more, destined for ultimate greatness there was no way I was going to end up like them, I would become powerful like I was before and I was willing to do anything to get it.

Anything!

"Okay," I said. "I'll do it, I'm tired of being like those weaklings. I will from this day on pledge my faith to Darkness, but you have to keep you part of the bargain! I get my crest back!"

"Very well s you wish."

There was an immediate response as the blank tag I held in my hand began to glow a black light, at the same time I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck, angrily I reached for the back of my neck, but found nothing not even a wound. I couldn't have just imagined it, you didn't mistake pain like that.

"What did you do to me!" I yelled.

"Nothing, just an insurance policy, but don't be concerned with that, look at your crest."

The black light had finally cleared so I was able to look at my crest again. I was pleased to see the crest of Darkness had returned to where it had once been on my tag.

I laughed and grinned evilly, it was back! I hadn't felt this way in a long time, the absolute power, the incredible evil feeling. I loved it; I really did miss feeling this way.

What had those fools done to me to turn me into such a goody-goody? I couldn't believe I wasted the entire day trying to save the world from innocent Digimon just because I was bored. If I was bored I should have attacked myself, what was wrong with me.

"Emily?" Blackgatomon said. "Are you okay?"

With one quick hit with the back of my hand I hit the pest on my shoulder back onto the ground.

"How dare you address me that way," I yelled. "You are to call me Empress or Master."

"Y-yes Empress," she said.

"It's working already," Myotismon sneered. "Now, get to your task! I can take away your power as easily as I gave it to you, I want the Digidestined dead, and I don't want you to spare Sacrifice just because he's your brother."

My evil grin grew even wider. "Don't worry, my brother is a traitor and has become as pathetic as the rest of them."

"Good, I'm sure you'll notice that your crest is now twice as powerful as the one that Evamon gave you, put it to good use."

"Oh and before you go, I command one more thing of you."

"You command? You better not think you can talk to me like that on a regular basis, anyway what do you want?"

"I want my Digimon Empress clothes back."

"An easy task," he said. "They're yours."

In an instant my Digimon Empress clothing replaced the clothes I wore. The goggles, the cape, much better than the rags I was wearing before. What was I thinking when I put those on, those pathetic Digidestined had really managed to change me for the worse, all the more reason for me to exterminate them. My last request granted the giant fanged mouth of Myotismon disappeared.

"Blackgatomon come," I instructed my Digimon as I began to walk back towards the campsite. "Darkness is back! And it's time it claimed its first victims."

-----------------

And thus starts the plot for world tour. Sorry it was so short couldn't think of a way to make it any longer Interesting twist? Or totally predictable? Yeah I know the sudden personality change might seem weird but there's a reason for it, an obvious one too, if you've figured it out don't spoil it in a review for those that haven't. The countdown continues only three more chapters (and an epilogue) until the end…wow not very long is it?

Stay tuned for Chapter 48: The Black Mega
