The Struggle: Chapter 3
A/N: This might drag for a little while, but it'll get better, trust me. Also, as I said from the last chapter I changed the title, I thought that this was more appropriate.

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Emperor: (still strangling heath 999) You got that right!
Ken: You know, she's going to have you torture a lot in the next chapters, but she might not do it if you keep on strangling her.
Emperor: You're right! *Lets go*
heath 999: *wheeze* Oxygen! *Wheezes again* More oxygen!
Wormmon: The Digimon Emperor's scary!
Ken: He sure is.
Emperor: I should be! *Starts cracking whip at random places in the room*
heath 999: Watch where you aim that thing! Do you want to be in the basement again?
Emperor: *stops immediately*
heath 999: Thought so, please read and review.

Digimon Emperor's base: That night
~Meghan's POV~
How long has it been since I woke up in this prison?
That doesn't worry me, the fact that my shoulders still bleeding from the whipping that the Emperor did does.
"Are you okay?" I hear a voice ask me from the hallway.
"Do you really want an answer to that?" I reply looking to see Wormmon in front of me, holding a tray of food and what looked like a first aid kit.
My mouth waters at the sight of the food, I haven't eaten ever since I was at my summer camp.
"Not really, I'm sorry, I don't know why my master is doing this." He says, tears filling his blue eyes.
"It's not your fault, come here," I say gently, gesturing with my good arm for him to come into my cell.
He hesitates, and then slowly crawls into the cell. "I just want to inform you, your friends seem to have found a way to digivolve with the control spires, and there's another team member."
Hope surged through me; at least they're able to fight back now. "What about Tigermon?" I ask hopefully, praying that he was free from that monster who considers himself the Digimon Emperor.
"I'm sorry, he's still a prisoner," he says, antennae drooping.
I look to see that the tray has only a sandwich on it, 'Probably the only thing that he could sneak in,' I think.
I hungrily pick up the sandwich, only to notice the two digimon in the cell across from me staring at my food.
I break the sandwich into thirds, handing two pieces to Wormmon. "Can you please give this to the other digimon across the hallway?" I ask, seeing the look of confusion on his face.
"Master never feeds them, he says that slaves don't deserve food." he says.
I wince, 'that's nice of him' I think.
Aloud, I say, "Well I'm not like him, they're more hungrier than I am probably."
When he returns from giving the food to the digimon, I already finished my third of the sandwich and am using the first aid kits bandages to wrap up my shoulder. "Do you think that you can come back every night? It would be good to change these bandages every night." I say.
"I'll try, it's going to be hard, if master catches me." he says, and then cringes.
"I don't even want to know, does he stay here all night too?" I ask, dreading the thought.
"No, he goes home." he says sadly.
"Who is he in real life anyway?" I ask while checking to make sure that the bandages are securely wrapped in place. Satisfied, I turn to Wormmon, looking for an answer.
He looks back at me with sadness on his face: "Ken Ichijouji."

Real World: Playground: Same time
~Tai's POV~
I look sadly at the group of gathered digidestined around me, excluding Davis and Mimi. Davis because he wasn't invited, and Mimi because she lives in America now. I told them about the changes in the digital world, and that the digimon seem to be in no real danger, and now I have to tell the part that I've been dreading ever since I heard about it.
That Meghan is captured by that tyrant, and Panthermon is the tyrant's slave.
I look at the others "One more thing, that e-mail we received from Meghan yesterday about her being under attack is apparently true, Agumon and the other digimon haven't seen her ever since yesterday."
Cries of "What?!" and "where is she?" and "where did they say that they saw her last?" filled the air, only T.K. and Kari remained quiet, already knowing the dreadful story.
"She was kidnapped by the Digimon Emperor, and Panthermon was the one who carried her away."
There is stunned silence now, as the others absorb this information.
I wait a moment before continuing, "there's one more thing that needs to be done."

In front of Meghan's family apartment: An hour later
~T.K.'s POV~
I can't believe that I have to do this.
I would rather face the dark masters, Apocalymon, and even Devimon instead of doing this.
I was the one, who got the short straw when we drew straws to decide who told Meghan's parents, and now I have to do the hardest thing in my life.
I reach for the doorbell, and ring it.
I hear sobs from the other side of the door, and I pale 'oh man, I can't do this' I think as the door flings open to reveal Meghan's red-eyed mother on the other side.
"T.K., please come in," she says, gesturing for me to come in.
I sit down, watching as Meghan's parents sit down on the couch across from me. "Here," I say, handing Meghan's backpack to them.
Now the sobs fill the room, as both the parents break down, "what happened?" the dad asks.
"Me and the other digidestined received an e-mail from her yesterday, it was extremely short, rushed, and said that she was under attack. Tai somehow got to the digital world today, and found her camp in shambles, Agumon told him that she was attacked and captured by the new threat, the Digimon Emperor, and Tigermon is his new slave. I'm sorry, if there's anything that I can do."
"You can do one thing for us, find out who this Digimon Emperor is and get our daughter back." the mom says angrily.
"I will, don't worry, I have to go home now, my mom's probably worried about me."
I leave, hearing the sobs all the way down the hallway.
'Man, first her being kidnapped and brainwashed by Myotismon, and now this, how much more can this family take?' I think, listening to the sobs.
In all honesty, I don't know.
TBC.

A/N: *Sniff* that last scene was sad, but at least the parents know now. The next chapter I'm going to skip ahead (again), but I need to, to get to the important parts. Until next chapter, please read and review.
