PYolei Inoue's victorious mood was soon replaced with shock and confusion as the monitors began to show color instead of the green eerie glow of night vision. Displaying on the screens was the 'Night Forest', once again bathing in rays of sunlight since the activation of the Spires that afternoon. But instead of seeing the digimon celebrating their freedom by tossing their dark rings off, they continued to work as slaves for the Emperor.
P"He must have another device that controls the digimon somewhere else," she realized as her eyes glared at the monitor that showcased his current position. But adding to her surprise, he was gone.
P"Hey! What happened to the Emperor?" Yolei asked.
P"I...I don't know Miss Yolei, but I'm sure that he'll be back after nightfall," Wormmon replied trying to hide the concern in his voice as he continued to stare at the screen.
P"Please be okay Ken-chan," he silently prayed.
PCENTER****/CENTER
P"How much further?" Davis complained.
P"Stop your whining, we're getting closer."
P"Look up ahead! There it is!" exclaimed Cody, pointing towards a cliff in the distance.
PAfter freeing the digimon in the Night Forest and saying farewell to Mimi, the remaining Digi-destined decided to destroy any Control Spires they spotted as they looked for the new digi-egg. They had just knocked one down when they found a rail cart with an attached wind sail. Convinced that the track would lead them towards their goal, they continued through the late afternoon towards the signal on their digi-vices.
PSlowly they came to a stop and got off the 'sail cart'. A familiar symbol on the side of the rock was a seen as a good sign to Kari and TK as they approached the formation. Underneath the wall was a creator with the 'egg' in the middle. The Digi-egg itself was black and white with a lightning shaped nail sticking out of it while the same symbol was imprinted in blue on the top.
P"Guys, we found the Digi-egg of Friendship!" cheered TK as he and the other children began to take turns to determine the new bearer of Friendship.

PSomewhere in the Night Forest, a newly free Otamamon was separated from his Gekkomon friend during their lookout for the Digimon Emperor. Being alone brought back fears of re-enslavement as he hopped cautiously on. He felt extremely paranoid, believing that the evil child tyrant was close by; watching him and his friends with a sinister grin plastered on his face. Relief washed over the tadpole like creature when he heard his friends beckoning for him to join them so as they could find a good hiding place away from the Emperor's ruling. In his excitement to leave, he hadn't noticed a soft pile of dirt moving slightly, reveling a couple strands of blue colored hair.
PWithin a swallow grave the young Kaiser lays in a restless sleep, his body twisting in pain as the ever-occurring nightmare began to play in his mind
PCENTER****/CENTER
PIRunning, running, running. . . /I
PTo just to run away was all he desired as he tried to dodge the attacks of the man before him. Using his youthful speed and agility, the boy followed the walls of the alleyway for an opening but found that he was trapped along with a madman who wanted to beat the life out of him. Exhaustion was overwhelming him as he tried to distance himself from his attacker. For a split second he glanced at the night sky as it was cloaking them in its shadow, hiding the brutal encounter from the rest of the world and observing the scene like a spectator in a darkened bleacher, silent and cold. Its many eyes danced as each hit connected with the boy's frail body while the moon seemed to smile deviously with every sound of the child's painful cries; secretly knowing that the screams would be swept away, unheard and lost in its darkness as the man continued with his vicious crime.
PBlow after blow the child ached with pain, feeling an overwhelming want to give into the numb state of unconsciousness as he was thrown against the wall repeatedly but never giving in. As his body slammed against a garbage bin, he felt a blackness creeping beneath his eyes, threatening to take over, but he willed himself to go on. Gradually the darkness began to recede just in time to see drops of his blood and tears fall on the broken glass beneath his feet. Before he could think, the man kicked him hard on his left temple forcing him to fall face down on the ground but thankfully away from the sharp transparent pieces.
PAt last, with all his energy gone, he laid helpless on the ground, unable to defend for himself any longer. The man stepped onto his back and roughly yanked back his short indigo hair causing the boy to bend backwards. The pain was so intense that the child was oblivious to a pair of fangs, which broke into the skin on the back of his neck. He began feeling utter helplessness and weak without knowing that his attacker was draining the life out of him. As the blood flowed out of him, he began to believe that the man was death itself.
PThe idea seem to please him, knowing that rest and peace was soon to come but then it terrified him as memories of his brother's near fatal experience a few years ago flashed before him forcing him to re-live the horrible feeling of never seeing Sam again. Involuntarily, he whimpered as his body went limp and lifeless on the concrete. Notions of sleep were overcoming him but he began to hear a sound that demanded him not to give up. The child listened closely to the pounding in his ears; it was tirelessly defiant, despite what had taken place. Even when the indigo haired child was thrown onto the ground like a corpse, it continued thumping. The man stepped away while the boy lay, hypnotized with the steady, rhythmic beating of his own heart.
PHe stayed that way until something suddenly dripped into his mouth. It was warm and wet as it slipped slowly pasted his tongue and down his throat, leaving the same sensation in his mouth like a lump of wasabi; spreading to every part in his body. More and more drops seeped through his lips and the boy turned over not feeling any protest from his brutally injured body to catch more onto his tongue. A thirst grew inside him and without thinking of the origins of the mysterious and delicious liquid; he grabbed his attacker's wrist and bit down on it. The fluid rushed in like a wave of molten rock as he continued to drink, but he didn't care that it felt like swallowing thousands of red-hot needles. In fact nothing mattered except to quench his thirst, but in the back of his mind a voice screamed as if it was drowning. It was that voice that brought him back to reality and automatically he tried to back away, but the attacker grabbed him and pressed him deeper into the wound. The child tried to struggle, but inevitably gave in to the thirst once again.
PThe boy drank until the man hit him. Taking back his arm, he continued the assault as before. The cries from the young boy were still ignored as they echoed off the walls as the attacker beat and kicked him continually. Finally having enough of him, the man stood, laughing at the pathetic site that was Ken Ichijouji before leaving him for the older Ichijouji boy to find.
PCENTER****/CENTER
PIt was 12:30 am in the Real World where a girl stood watch by the window. She looked down at the darken streets, then diverted her eyes to the stars in the sky. Sighing, the auburn-haired teenager recalled her day; her date with the famous Sam Ichijouji was cancelled due to an unexpected accident involving Mr. Ichijouji and his co-worker. She had asked if there was anything she can do to help but he had said no so she stayed home all day. As the day droned on, she began to feel guilty for using the last of her little brother's hair gel for nothing. Normally, she wouldn't care; she would've just kicked back and listened to the Teenage Wolves. The only thing that could explain it was that Sam's love for his sibling was rubbing off on her.
PAs she thought of her boyfriend, she remembered the story of Ken and she began to wonder, "Could I lose you Davis like Sam lost Ken?"
PCENTER****/CENTER
P"You're back!" Wormmon cried as he scurried across the room to the fully soiled boy Emperor.
PYolei woke up from the commotion and shifted her body so she could comfortably glare at her royal kidnapper. She was a bit surprised to see him covered in dirt and therefore couldn't make an angry face but instead just sat there staring at him.
PThe young Kaiser looked at the girl shackled in his chair, wondering what he was going to do with her. He hated himself for taking her; it was out of pure impulse and having her here would only tempt him to drink her blood. Now it was a delicate decision whether or not to let her go. It didn't take long for them to realize that they were staring at each other, causing them to shift their gaze to either the ceiling or floor. He muttered his apologies and swiftly moved towards his room to change.
PCENTER****/CENTER
P"Come on Davis! We have to go home now! It's getting late! Besides, it's been hours since Mimi left after helping the Gekkomon and the Otamamon. We can't do anymore for Yolei today, even with Raidramon's help," reasoned TK.
PThe remaining four children had been trying all day to find the where about of their fallen comrade but there was no clues or any witnesses to her kidnapping. All of the slaves couldn't remember being slaves or where his base was, leaving them with nothing to go with.
P"I really hate to say this but you're right TG, we should being heading home," the holder of Courage and Friendship reluctantly agreed as they continued to walk towards the nearest TV.
PCENTER****/CENTER
P"Holy cow! Guys, it's 2:00 am!" cried TK as he got up from the floor of the school's computer room.
P"Everyone must be worried," said Kari. She thought for a moment and her eyes brighten up, "I'm going to call my brother, maybe he can cover for us."
P"That's a great idea Kari, I'll call Matt."
P"Hey! What about Yolei? Her family will be worried," said Cody.
P"Yeah, and where will I go?' Poromon piped up.
PCENTER****/CENTER
P"Yes Mrs. Inoue. She's sleeping over at our place with my sister. . . I'm sorry that she forgot to call you. . .I'll tell her that. . .Okay. . .Bye!"
PTai Kamiya sighed, thankful for a plan that required little convincing on his part, unlike Matt.
PCENTER****/CENTER
P"Calm down Jun! Yes, he's here. . .WHAT!?!?! You're going to pick him up! It's late!. . .Alright, alright, I'll tell him. . .Bye!"
PMatt Ishida hanged up the phone and pressed himself against the wall silently cursing the stupid plan that targeted him to host an all boys sleepover.
P"Why me?" he muttered as he went to find the Davis to tell him the bad news.
P
P"I can't sleep in here Wormmon! This is the Emperor's Room!" Yolei cried, looking around feeling uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed as her enemy.
P"Well we don't have any other place to put you, except the dungeons," explained the caterpillar like digimon.
PShe sighed, "Fine then, will the Emperor be sleeping in here as well?"
P"No, he'll be fixing the damage that your friends have caused today and continuing the research he was conducting this afternoon."
P"So I'm sleeping by myself?"
P"Well, with me checking up on you," the rookie digimon said as he exit the room.
PThe lavender haired girl smiled, she had taken a liking to Wormmon despite his relations to the Emperor. It was strange to imagine the Kaiser allowing a digimon to roam free in his base and what's more, seeing such a kind soul work for a ruthless tyrant like the Emperor.
P"Maybe I'll ask him about that when I get the chance," she pondered as she headed for the bathroom.
PChanging into a white blouse and matching pants, she was prepared to go to sleep when her curiosity got the better of her and she began to search the room. Minutes later she had turned up nothing interesting except a picture of two teenage boys fishing.
PWhoever they were, they were cute. In the picture, the older boy was further away and angled so you could see a glimpse of his eye and smile but the other had a perfect showing of his face, the boy's smile and his beautiful blue eyes that were full of happiness stared back at her and she couldn't help but smile back. They were wearing matching lifejackets but they didn't have the proper headgear. One was wearing a red baseball cap backwards and the other was wearing a hat similar to TK's.
PThe one with TK's hat looked about her age with amazing blue eyes, but she couldn't tell the hair color of either of the boys. Settling it down on the bed stand along with her glasses, she got herself comfortable before blowing out the candle.
P"I wonder why the Emperor has that picture," she thought as she laid her head down for the night.
PCENTER****/CENTER
P"Davis!" Jun cried as she hugged her baby brother.
P"Jun, calm down! I'm okay!" he said as he tried to pry the taller girl off of him.
P"I was so worried! Especially with all the disappearances and stuff on the news."
P"Umm. . .Jun, Davis can't breath," Matt pointed out.
P"Oh, sorry," the auburn haired girl replied as she let go and allowed the younger Motomiya some air.
PCENTER****/CENTER
PIn the home of the Kamiya's, a round ball of pink feathers asked, "Do you think that Yolei is okay Gatomon?"
P"If you ask me, you're friend is one tough girl. I'm sure she'll be fine when we find her tomorrow," the cat digimon replied.
P"I hope you're right."
PCENTER****/CENTER
P"Jun I'm okay! Seriously! You don't have to sleep in a chair by my bed!" argued Davis.
P"But something might happen to you while you sleep!"
P"Don't worry, I'll protect Davish," DemiVeemon spoke up.
PJun's jaw dropped as she stared at the blue and white creature that she had thought was just a mere stuff animal while Davis frantically explained that he inserted a device to say things like that.
PFinally she regained her wits and whispered, "You have a digimon just like Sam's brother Ken."
P"WHAT?!?!?!" Davis and DemiVeemon said in unison.
