Split Personalities

Chapter 13: Crest of Unity

"I can't believe this! Tesability has imprisoned the Shadow Emperor, just like the White Emperor!" The Shadow Empress was furious! Emperor & Guilmon were at her sides.

"Mother, what if we put a Shadow Ring on her? Maybe we could get her to bring Ken to us..." The Shadow Empress looks toward Guilmon in surprise. Then it hits her.

"Why didn't I think of that? Let's get ready for our *guests*." The Shadow Empress smiled. They left the room & became invisible to all. They had some hunting to do.

************************************

"Tai, Matt, Izzy, Davis, Ken, we have to get out of here!" Tesability was leaving them in the dust, even Ken, although he was close behind her. Everyone had the in-training form of their Digimon in their arms. Ken had Wormmon in his hands & Tesability's Pucchiemon was at the end to be able to attack anyone without hitting any of the Digidestined. The Shadow Empress & Emperor were following them.

"Heavy Talon!" Pucchiemon was tired of those two phasing out all the time. At that moment, the Shadow Empress's eyes began to glow.

"Darkness Magnetism!" At that command, the Dark Crystal & the Dark Spore flew out of Tesability's hands.

"Aw, damn! She's got them!" She searched her cards to find a virus Digimon that could counter her, but noticed that they were gone. "Hey, where did my cards go?" The Shadow Empress laughed.

"Looking for these?" The Shadow Empress made the cards into a fan. Tesability started to lose it.

"You jerk! You don't even know what you're even doing! You plan to surround the world with darkness, but you don't even know what darkness truely is! None of you have ever seen true darkness nor true light. Not even the carriers of the Crests of Light & Darkness have seen true darkness or light. But I have. I have walked in the Land of Darkness & in the Land of Light, but yet I belong to neither. I will show you the true power of both darkness & light!" At this moment, a pendent appears around Tesability's neck. It was the tag that used to have the Crest of Kindness in it, but it now has a grey crest. The crest has a symbol that looked like the yin-yang symbol. The true Crest of Unity.

"What crest is that?" Ken was probably the only one to notice that Tesability had a new crest. It began to glow brightly as Tesability felt the powers of both light & darkness flowing through her body. If you had looked her in the eye, you would have seen not only herself, but the Shadow Empress, the White Empress, and the Digimon Empress. Tesability raised a hand toward the Shadow Empress. Part of a Dark Spiral was revealed from underneath Tesability's sleeve. "Unified Spiral!" With that said, a spiral made of both dark energy & light energy was fired. The Shadow Empress phased out, but this time, even that couldn't save her. She screamed out in pain as the energy spirals went through her. She fell back & closed her eyes for the final time. She began to convert into data & disappeared. No, she wasn't reconfigured. She was destroyed beyond repair, so to speak. In order to survive, she would have to become a person's second personality. She had chose Tesability. Her data became invisible & went behind Tesability. Her data entered Tesability's body, without her knowing, without her feeling any pain.

Shadow Empress: I may have failed in this time period, but I know that I will prevail in the future.

"Tesability, what crest is that?" That's the second time Ken has asked that question. It got everyone to notice the new crest, even Tesability. She held it in her hands, tears coming from out of her eyes in happiness.

"I can't believe it...my own crest...the Crest of Unity...I'm now the only Digimon Tamer with a real crest. She looked up to where the Shadow Empress once stood & pulled back her sleeve, revealing the Dark Spiral.

"Tesability, where did you get that? Is that what allowed you to use the Unified Spiral attack?" Ken was confused at how she was able to resist the Dark Spiral's ability to control the wearer's mind. Tesability looked up & nodded to Ken's second question.

"I found this Spiral while I was trying to find the other Digidestined. I thought that it would help me out, so I tried it on my right wrist. I had somehow did a Spiral Healing attack on Pucchiemon after he was hit by Guilmon's Pyro Blaster. But unfortunately, it won't be able to get me home. I lost the card that brought me to this time." Tesability sighed. She left the others, including Pucchiemon in the room. "Forgive me, but I need a few minutes alone." She went into the hall, thinking about what had just happened. She was going to have one hell of a fanfic to tell.

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

What the heck was I thinking? The Crest of Unity really has no part in this story, but I just thought I'd introduce it, since there's going to be a sequel to this. The Crest of Unity is going to play a big part in the sequal. So is the Shadow Empress. Please, R&R.
