Chapter 10: Tesability Meets Ken

"I can't believe that I left them behind like that!" Ken was in Tamachi Park, trying to figure out a way to save his friends. Wormmon was in his arms, trying to make him feel better.

"GANGWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ken & Wormmon looked up to see Tesability & her Wormmon falling through the sky. Ken & Wormmon got out of the way as Tes & her Wormmon fell on the grass. "Golly, I hope the ride isn't so bumpy on the way back." They dusted themselves off & looked toward Ken.

"Excuse me, but where did you come from?" Ken raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Tesability sighed.

"First, it's not WHERE we came from, it's WHEN we came from. Second, I'm from the future." That's when Ken saw the Emperor glasses.

"Where did you get those glasses? They look so familiar." Tesability looked at his eyes, then winced. She didn't realize that she was talking to her favorite Digidestined.

"Oh, god. I should have left this at home. Too late now. Like I told my friends, it's not my fault that I fell in love with the Digimon Emperor." Ken stared at Tesability. So did the two Wormmon. At that moment, the Shadow Empress appeared, this time coming from Tesability's shadow.

"It seems that you have a friend with you, Ken. I'll take her as well as...what kind of digivice is that?" Tesability looked down at the D-Power on her belt & took it out. She took out a Digimon card, as well.

"A D-Power. Digi-modify! Digivolution activate!" At that moment, Wormmon started to glow with a black aura.

"Wormmon digivolve to...Stingmon!" When the black aura disappeared, Wormmon was gone & Stingmon was in his place. Everyone was stunned.

"Spiking Strike!" Stingmon's violet energy blade appeared & he sped toward the Shadow Empress.

"Shadow Ring!" She made a grey ring appear & threw it at Stingmon, forcing him to de-digivolve. When it made contact with Stingmon's arm, it became invisible. Only his shadow could prove that the ring was there.

"Stingmon! Oh, no!" She couldn't believe that he was captured already. The Shadow Empress smiled.

"I believe it is time to bring you to my home." She opened a portal behind herself & pushed Ken, Tesability, & the two Wormmon into it. She jumped into the portal herself, which then closed itself. A few seconds later, everyone appeared within a prison. The Shadow Empress appeared in her throne, outside of the prison cell. Guilmon & Emperor walked into the room, toward the Shadow Empress.

"Shadow Empress, the Dark Crystal is ready." Shadow Empress smiled. She turned toward the Digidestined. Her eyes glowed, forcing the Shadow Ring around Ken's neck to show itself. Ken wasn't aware of what was happening, but when the other Digidestined saw the ring, they gasped.

"Ken, she's got a grey ring around your neck!" Ken turned toward Davis as he said that. He put his hand over the ring & winced. He knew he was in trouble.

"Ken, come to me. You have something I want." Ken, even though he resisted, got up & walked over to the Shadow Empress. He didn't know what was going on. Tesability got mad. She took out her D-Power & looked across the room, into the cell where the Digimon are. Wormmon caught her gaze & nodded. She stood up.

"Leave Ken alone, Shadow Empress." The Shadow Empress stared at Tesability.

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Tesability smirked.

"Your worst nightmare. Digi-modify! Digmon activate!" Wormmon was ready.

"Rock Cracking!" The Shadow Empress was shocked by what Wormmon was doing. So was everyone else. Wormmon used its new hand drills to dig underneath the prison bars, freeing all of the Digimon. Wormmon then went to the cell that the Digidestined were in & destroyed the lock, allowing the Digidestined to get out of there. At that moment, Tesability found the weak point in the Shadow Ring on Ken & took it off. Ken was glad that he didn't have that on, anymore.

"Oooooh! Guards! Get them! Kill the Digimon & Digidestined, but bring Ken Ichijouji to me!" The Shadow Empress was mad to no end. Digimon & human guards started to go after the Digidestined & Digimon. All of the Digidestined & Digimon were knocked out, not knowing what's going to happen.

********Author's Note********

I don't think you guys expected a ring with those qualities, did you? And, out of complete curiosity, how many people realized that Tesability is alot like Ken? If you guessed that she was a future twin of Ken's, you're right. Please, R&R.
