Some Things Are Best Kept A Secret…

Chapter Six

Synthetic

The young ruler of the Digital World looked to the young lady beside him, trailing the back of his index finger gently across her cheek as she slept soundly. He then took the same hand and held his forehead in the center of it before sighing and removing the blanket from his person and gathering the pile of clothes next to him and putting them on slowly. His head pounded and his cheek was sore from the dream he had just had.

"It was merely a dream…"He assured himself. He picked up his heavy cape and placed it on his shoulders, drawing the cloth around him for a moment before he snapped the collar shut. He looked down at Miyako for a moment and then walked out of the room, leaving her to sleep.

Ken sighed gently to himself, walking to his control room in relative silence, thinking about everything, the limited access to his past, his present, his form, and most important of these, his future. What was to become of the feared Digimon Kaiser? Would he die like any other human? Or maybe, perhaps he was more than human.

"That's it." He said as he entered the dark room. "I'm more than human; I'm immortal, invincible. I cannot die." His fingers hit a small switch on the wall, which turned several monitors in the front of the room on, revealing different parts of the Digital World that he had conquered, including the one he had stolen Miyako from.

The same vicinity still had the other chosen within it, calling for Miyako. The smallest of them, the child of Faithful Knowledge sat on a rock, his back to the camera, and appeared to be crying. This sight brought the Kaiser much joy.

"Miyako!! Miyako! Answer me!!" Daisuke called into the forest from between his hands. The brunette sighed and looked back at Takeru and Iori. "I really don't think she's going to answer, you guys."

Takeru, Child of Hope looked to Daisuke and balled his hands into weak fists. "We have to keep trying! She has to be around here somewhere!"

Daisuke took a step toward him. "Look! If we can't find her on the D-3, then she sure as hell can't hear our voices! Besides, we have to get V-mon back home before he bleeds to death!"

Takeru took a threatening step to Daisuke, his fists now raised. "Then YOU take him home! If you're not going to contribute to the search then we don't need you around to slow us down!"

A large white winged cat with an Egyptian-type headdress quickly approached the small cluster of children, Hikari riding on her back. Hikari gasped loudly at the scene between Daisuke and Takeru as Nefertimon landed on the ground.

"Stop it! Stop arguing!" she slipped off her Digimon's back and ran to the pair, standing between them. "I can't leave you two alone for a minute before you start ripping each other's throats out!" The two boys looked at the ground shamefully. "Now look, I know you're both tired and frustrated, but there's no need to take it out on each other. We're each doing what we can and that's all there is to it, now cool it!"

Both Daisuke and Takeru swallowed hard, not being used to seeing Hikari in this type of mood. Hikari looked to Iori with a saddened look on her face. "Now look at him. He's all sad, and your fighting isn't helping him one bit, you know!"

The young boy turned his head around after wiping a tear from his eye. "I'm not sad… I'm concerned is all."

Hikari walked over to him and gave him a small hug, looking at the D- Terminal in his hands. "What are you doing, Iori?"

His large green eyes looked at her and then back at the D-Terminal again. "I'm writing Miyako an e-mail. I know she's still alive, so I know she'll get this."

"How can you be so sure?" Daisuke asked, looking over curiously.

"I just know it. You'll have to trust me on this one." Iori said with a soft sigh, trying to keep back the tears that threatened to fall.

Soon becoming bored with the silent children on his screen, the Kaiser changed the monitors to his holding cells, checking up on any Digimon that had died or were trying to escape. He leaned back in his chair, smiling as everything was in order.

A small beeping sound came from one of the monitors, and then proceeded to show a pale green-blue light. The Kaiser's eyes shifted to the monitor and his smile turned into a wicked grin.

"He's finished…" he said to himself.

"Who's finished, master?" a voice came from behind him. Shocked, Ken turned around sharply to see that Wormmon had found his way inside the room.

Seeing this as being the perfect opportunity to show off his genius, Ken stood up and led Wormmon out of the room. "Follow me, and you shall see."

Ken walked down the hall from his control room, Wormmon following close behind. He soon came to a room with a keypad next to the door. His fingers touched the pad delicately, typing in a password with speed and ease. The door slid open quieter than any of the other doors were able. He looked to Wormmon and indicated that he follow him.

The Kaiser's face was illuminated with a pale green-blue light as he and Wormmon entered the massive room with a casual smirk on his face. His violet eyes darted to the dozens of glass tubes, which lined the walls. Within each tube was a selected part of random Digimon. Arms, legs, eyes, armor, heads, and even nearly complete Digimon. The Kaiser continued into the room, his cape fluttering behind him, just as Wormmon was.

The tiny green Digimon looked at the parts in terror, never even wishing to see a fellow Digimon dead, let alone in pieces. He then looked up to Ken, curiosity marking his face. "Kaiser-sama…I-I never really learned just what this room was for…"

The boy looked down at the Digimon, stopping his walking. He grinned. "This room is where I have been planning a positively invincible plan against the Chosen." He looked ahead and pointed to a tube at the back of the passageway with a small black cat-like Digimon within it, like a dark version of the Chosen Child of Light's partner Tailmon.

"That," he said softly. "Is merely the beginning of what will surely become the destruction of all those who oppose me…"

Wormmon swallowed hard, scooting closer to his partner. "Wh-what is it?"

"The ultimate fighting machine," he replied, "That is the Digimon Black Tailmon."

Wormmon looked at the tube with the sleeping Digimon. "Black…Tailmon?"

"Yes, Black Tailmon. I took the data of another Black Tailmon and inserted it into these incubation tubes you see here. The data formed in different parts, giving me odd solutions like an ear and part of the head, or half of an eye. I was originally going to take the useful parts that formed and create a synthetic monster of unbelievable strength. But I soon decided against it, now deciding to create the Black Tailmon again, but born with my blood coursing through its veins, along with its own."

"Like… the dark rings?" Wormmon inquired.

Ken nodded and continued toward the Digimon identified as "Black Tailmon". "Exactly. This Digimon will not need to be under the influence of the Dark Ring, as it will be completely and totally under my command. There will not be a being alive that will be able to destroy this Digimon."

"But what if he decides to rebel, Master?" Wormmon asked quietly. "Wouldn't that put you in danger?"

Ken smirked. "Yes, that would be a problem, if I had not thought of that first. "Installed within the Black Tailmon's body is a remote bomb, a fail- safe, if you will. If I sense any sort of rebellion from him, I will simply activate the bomb and poof! No more threat."

"Brilliant, master!" Wormmon highly praised with a smile.

Ken also smiled and nodded. "I know. The Black Tailmon is the first of my synthetic soldiers. I may even have to reconfigure his data to include upgrades every so often." His hand touched the tube where the small black cat lay asleep. "Your time will come soon, little one. You are my creation, reconfigured to utter perfection. You are the perfect Digimon."

Miyako's eyes opened to a blurry version of the room she had been sleeping in. She sat up and yawned and stretched, yelping as the cold air hit her chest, then drawing the blanket closely around her. She pulled her legs close to her and groaned at the sore feeling between them.

She whined softly, looking up at the ceiling. "No one ever mentions the aftereffects…" she sighed and rested her forehead on her knees, thinking quietly.

Had she really just made love to her enemy, the Digimon Kaiser? The same boy who swore her destruction? Did he really mean it? His voice did sound authentic. He felt strange to her. His final scream felt as though he had never had an ounce of pleasure in his life, and almost as though that much had hurt him.

She looked up to the ceiling. "I'm so confused… why is this stuff never easy!?" a faint beeping from Miyako's pile of clothing caught her attention. She blinked and scooted to the pile, putting on her glasses and rummaging through her clothes, trying to figure out what was making the noise. She found the source was the pocket of her pants. She reached her hand into the pocket and pulled out her D-Terminal, flipping up the screen cover to see what it wanted.

Inside was an e-mail from Iori.

"Dear Miyako, I know that you are receiving this, so please respond as soon as you can.

-Hida Iori."

She giggled at the sight of the e-mail and smiled, kissing the screen happily. "This is great! They're all okay!" She hit the reply button cheerfully, looking through the proper characters to write her reply. "What will I say, though? 'I'm okay, but I just got screwed by the Kaiser'? Nah, too blunt. How about, 'I'm fine, but the Kaiser isn't as angry with me as I thought'? That'll make them think, all right."

She giggled and quickly looked through the proper characters, placing them in order, then hit the "send" button. She lay on her back, looking up at the little device. "Who knew such a little thing could bring so much joy?" she said to herself. She giggled softly. "This is great! I can let them all know super-secret stuff about the base while I'm here!"

She sighed a happy sigh and ran her fingers across the scroll buttons, smiling. "At least this whole ordeal isn't as bad as it could be."



A/N: Whoopee! Another chapter Completed! =^-^=V Yatta! Thanks for the reviews, guys, I really appreciate it. *points to the top* lookie! 40 reviews! I feel special! …maybe it's "SpEd"cial, but I'm not too sure. I really appreciate the compliments and errors that you guys fix for me. Oh! That reminds me.

Mika, the reason I changed the spelling of "Kaizer" is because I'm going for Western spellings (See V-Mon from pronunciation "Buimon"). Why? Because, 1) they're easier to spell (can you imagine the whole Leomon/ Lighdramon scene as "Reomon/ Raidoramon"?) Just wanted to clear that up for ya.

Snake Lord of Chaos, Thank you for saying that I'm one of your favorite authors =^-^= When I read your review, that really made my day, I really appreciate stuff like that.

As for longer chapters… I don't know if I will. Of course I will if I really need to (like next chapter), but if it's not necessary, then I'll just wrap it up where I figure is a nice place to stop, or when I get writer's block. Bleh… Hate that stupid cube (Anyone remember Joshbabes?)…

Ooh! Shameless plug time! You see my name up at the top of the page? Y'know, the one in Blue writing? That's a link to my profile! Please go there, write me an e-mail, read my profile, and read my stories, especially "Zento, The Journey Ahead" if you're a Tamers junkie. If not, then well… I guess some of my other crap would be good for ya. If you liked the series "Neon Genesis Evangelion" then please read "Digi Genesis Evangelion", a niftywell little Digimon interpretation to one of the best animes I have ever seen.

As always, review, review, review! I need an Ego!!!!

Chapter Preview

Miyako took a deep breath and looked at the keypad in front of her. She sighed softly, knowing now that there was a code on the door. Not having the hacking skills that Koushiro, Child of Knowledge had, there was no possible way that she could open the door.

"There's got to be something good behind this door, or Ken wouldn't have locked it!" She sighed again and brought up the D-Terminal in her hands, slouching slightly and writing another E-mail addressed to Iori.

The sound of a sliding door startled her. She yelped loudly and dropped the D-Terminal on the ground. She looked up at the door to see a smug looking Ken standing at the door. He took one look at the violet-haired girl and his face became annoyed.

"What are you doing here, girl?" He asked sharply.

Flustered, Miyako knelt down to pick up her D-Terminal as the Kaiser watched her actions. "W-well, y'see… I w-was just walking around… got lost… and…" Her hand reached for the gray device.

Watching this, Ken brought out his foot and placed it on Miyako's hand as it touched the terminal. Miyako's heart seemed to have stopped and her blood ran to hoarfrost.

Ken leaned down, lifting his foot from her hand and brushed it aside, picking up the D-Terminal, and flipping up the screen. "And what is this little-" His eyes widened at what was on the screen, then narrowed in a glare. "What the hell is this!?" he spat to the girl

Miyako winced. Without Hawkmon, there was little she could do against the Kaiser, and she knew it, but she had no idea how much trouble she had just gotten herself into…
