Kindness and Cruelty
Chapter 4: Surprise
"Where are they?" A creature that looked like the black version of the Digimon Emperor with blue, phoenix-like wings was flying through the sky in search of the Digidestined or any sign of where they could be. That's when he saw Davis and Veemon walking through the streets of Odiba. The creature winced at the sight of Veemon, sighed, and landed in front of Davis.
"Hey, Davis." Davis jumped back as Veemon put on an evil smirk.
"What are your wishes, master?" The humanoid creature sighed as Davis stared at Veemon.
"Veemon, are you all right?" Veemon glared at Davis.
"You are not my master, so leave!!! Vee Headbutt!!!" Veemon flung himself at Davis, when the strange creature knocked Veemon down.
"I will not allow you to attack your partner!" Veemon growled at the creature.
"He is not my..." At that moment, the creature flung the Dark Ring that he had on his right wrist at Veemon, allowing him to return to normal again. "Oh, wow. What happened?" He looked up toward the shadowy creature and jumped back. "PsyEmperomon! I thought you were dead!" That's when Veemon saw the Dark Ring on his wrist. "And why is this Dark Ring on me?" Veemon was about ready to take off the ring, when PsyEmperomon stopped him.
"Veemon, don't take off the ring! If you do, you're going to black out again!" Veemon looked up toward PsyEmperomon in surprise.
"Is that why I don't remember anything, PsyEmperomon?" PsyEmperomon sighed.
"Let's get something straight." He lets go of Veemon and looked into Veemon's eyes. "I'm really Ken." Veemon gasped.
"Ken? That...can't be!" Davis nodded in agreement.
"No kidding! How can you prove that you're Ken?" PsyEmperomon sighed.
"Ask me a question only Ken would know then." That was proof enough for Davis.
"You convinced me. If you were somebody else, I don't think you would have asked that question." PsyEmperomon smiled. A thought flashed through Veemon's head.
"What's going to happen when the other Digimon see you? Davis, we promised the others that when we found Ken, we would come back with him." Davis yelped.
"Oh, geez! I completely forgot!" PsyEmperomon sighed.
"Do you have your D-Terminal with you?" Davis nodded. He immediately knew what PsyEmperomon was going to do and agreed with his unspoken thoughts. He handed the D-terminal to PsyEmperomon, who started typing away an e-mail to send to the others. A minute later, he sent the e- mail to the other Digidestined children, closed the D-Terminal and handed it back to Davis.
"What was the e-mail about, Ken?" PsyEmperomon thought about how to summarize the e-mail for a moment, then sighed.
"Let's not waste time. Let's go." At that moment, Veemon digivolved into Exveemon. Davis got on Exveemon's shoulder as PsyEmperomon stretched out his blue, regal wings. They took off toward where Yolei and the others were.

BEEP, BEEP!!! BEEP, BEEP!!! Cody's D-Terminal was beeping. (He was the only one who thought to bring his at the time...)
"Excuse me, my D-Terminal's beeping." Cody pulled his D-Terminal out of his back pocket and flipped it open. Cody gasped.
"This is from Ken!" That got EVERYONE'S attention.
"What does it say?"
"I'm reading, I'm reading..." What the e-mail said was this.
"Cody, You will not believe what happened. The story is too long for me to type, so I'll tell you when we get to where you guys are. And I suggest you blindfold the Digimon, since I can't be seen by a Digimon without them either turning evil or going on a rampage. See you soon. Ken"
Cody gasped at the e-mail. Armadillomon was reading over Cody's shoulder, when he groaned.
"I wonder what happened to Ken." Wormmon nodded in agreement.
"No kidding. If someone placed a curse on him, I'm going to..." Gatomon placed a paw on Wormmon's...er...shoulder.
"Don't worry, Wormmon. If something really wrong did happen, we'll find a way to reverse it." Wormmon smiled at Gatomon.
"Thanks."
"Welcome." T.K. nodded in agreement.
"Gatomon's right. If a spell was cast upon him, or something like that, then we'll find a way to return him to normal. I hate to see the looks on his parents' faces if we had to bring him home while not looking like he normally does." Everyone cheered in agreement, when a knock on the door was heard. They opened the door to find....
