Author's Notes:
Digimon does not belong to me
Ken- If it was, be afraid, be very afraid a lot of characters would die at the hands of Piedmon and her.
Hey! Are you dissing Piedmon-sama?!?!?!
*sweat-drop* No, I was saying how interesting the show would be if you own it heh he he...
The Digimon Emperor sat as he watched the screen with Wormmon lying on his lap.
"Sam Ichijouji has won the National Computer Programming Competition with a program that can style your hair. When asked about the victory, he simply stated that he won it for his missing brother, Ken."
"Isn't it touching, watching this amazing child excel in academics while participating in kendo and tennis, also he does everything he can to help find his brother?"
"Yes it is, although, after a year's worth of searching, no one knows where the youngest Ichijouji boy is. We were able to talk to the parents of the Child Prodigy. How does it feel raising such an extraordinary child?'
The camera zooms in on the Ichijouji family.
"It's wonderful that Sam is getting back into the swing of things but it's been hard for all of us since Ken's awful disappearence. And then Sam got sick for weeks. We..."
He paused it. The picture of his 'picture' family looked awful. The father looked as if he hadn't had a good nights sleep for weeks, the mother was on the verge of tears but was trying very hard to look happy and the son...
A gloved hand reached out to touch the screen, fingers barely touching the image of the boy genius.
The son was a deadly mixture of the two.
"I wish I could go home too," whispered Ken as tears rolled from behind his goggles.
"Aaaaagggggghhhhh!!!!" Yolei yelled in frustration.
Today the Digi-destined had traveled to the Digital World; they had found the Digi-eggs of Hope and Light and just like the other digimon Patamon and Gatomon were able to armor digivolve to Pegesusmon and Nefetimon, respectively. Then a bunch of Tyronnomon showed up, they were able to destroy their Dark Rings and that was it!!!
"If the Digimon Emperor is such a chicken, why doesn't he give up?!"
"Davis, we have no clue what he is doing right now. Maybe he's planning something big that we don't know about. We have to wait for his next move," reasoned TK, "there has to be more to what appears to be."
"TK's right. The Emperor must know about us by now so he must be planning something big if he hasn't bothered with the likes of us," agreed Kari.
"Come on guys, let's go home. Maybe tomorrow we'll be lucky to see his shadow," said Cody as he picked up Upamon.
It is morning in the Digital World but instead of waking up to the warmth and light of the Sun, a layer of clouds covered the sky casting the World below in darkness. Black towers had appeared over night, each of them secluded in overly protected areas, they have most likely been built and guarded by the slaves of the Digimon Emperor. The child tyrant reveled himself once again to tell them that the towers were Dark Spires; giving him the power to control the ringed digimon in that area and to cloud the land in darkness.
Gabumon couldn't believe that the Emperor had the power to block out the Sun. He tried to think of ways how this could be, when a Veggiemon came to collect him to bring him to the Kaiser.
He smiled to himself as he watched the Gabumon walk into his office. The indigo haired boy sat behind his desk with a laptop in front of him. His Wormmon sat beside the electronic device. He still couldn't get over the shock of finding one of the original Digi-destined Digimon among his slaves. Though, it wasn't that hard to spot him, considering he freed a couple of digimon in their attempt to break out. Only a digimon who have digi-partners are that cunning and brave.
"Sat down Gabumon. You're going to be here for quite a while," said the Emperor.
"No thank you," the yellowed bellied digimon replied.
"Maybe you can answer a few questions I have about the Digi-destined. You can tell me anything that you want."
"And what if I don't?" Gabumon questioned.
The boy smiled, "Then I'll slap a Dark Ring on you and get you to make me more Spires. If you answer my questions, maybe I'll consider freeing more slaves for you. Like I said, tell me anything you want, I don't care if you keep telling me how you and your partner are going to kick my ass a hundred times. Anything."
Gabumon didn't have to even think about his choice as he sat down and began his tale.
"Hey everyone. This is my brother Matt. He's going with us to the Digital World," TK announced.
"Great! The more the merrier. By the way, I'm Davis."
"Hello, I'm Cody"
"And I'm Yolei. Nice to meet you."
"Likewise," replied Matt.
"Is everyone ready to go?" Kari asked.
"I'm not going. Izzy still has my Digi-vice but I'll join you later," said Yolei.
"Alright. Digi-port open!"
"You're being awfully nice considering you're suppose to be an evil Emperor."
"Be quiet. I have already built Spires covering ten percent of the Digital World in three days. What's a little researching going to hurt?
"You better keep it up, young Emperor."
"Gabumon!"
"Matt!"
The new Digi-destined smiled at the happy reunion. After being transported to the Digital World, they decided to investigate the black tower in the near-by village. On their way, they had found Gabumon leading a group of digimon away from where they were headed. The positive feeling quickly faded as they looked up to the dark sky. They couldn't believe the changes the Emperor had made.
"What happened here Gabumon?" Kari asked.
The red-eyed digimon started to explain to them about the Dark Spires and the power they have over an area of the Digital World. He then told them of his breakout, re-capture and encounter with the Emperor.
"What do you think he's going to do to the Digital World?" Matt asked.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out."
The Digi-destined turned around to see the Digimon Emperor.
