Roja- Hi, everybody. I'm Roja. If you had read some of Rose's other fics, you'll know that I'm the co-author for most of her fanfics. Now, Rose and Akane have gone off to, er, do something that'll 'get the world ready for the future scenes of this fanfic.' I don't what that is, though.

A map of the Digi-world (the ones with the squares that show you which ones have control spires and which don't) was behind her. Roja doesn't notice as all the little squares turn black.

Roja- Well, I'm just here to tell you guys to go ahead and read and if you have any suggestions, send them in to watrisia@yahoo.com.

Imperial Princess Chapter 7





Ten more minutes . . . Yolei kept on glancing down at her watch, nervously. Only ten more minutes and they'll have to face Satan. 'Oh, God,' Yolei thought, 'if Satan's your enemy as much as he is ours, you'll help us in this fight.'

Nine more minutes . . . Ken watched Akane. 'Only nine more minutes and I'll have to risk everything o save her,' he thought, 'well, maybe we'll win . . . with a miracle that is. Look on the bright side, even if we lose this whole thing will be over. But, what's the point of that if we're dead? No, we have to win. We just have to.'

Eight more minutes . . . Davis was starting to fidget. 'This should be a piece of cake,' he thought to himself, 'it's another enemy, but we've been successful so far, right?' He glanced over at T.K. and Kari. 'And why did they seem so . . . so,' Davis thought, 'TK seemed angry and Kari seemed so frightened when they heard Satan's name. I wonder what's up with them. Satan's just another bad guy. No way can he be very powerful. Who is that guy anyway? Geez . . . '

Seven more minutes . . . 'So the count down is on,' Cody thought to himself, 'in less than ten minutes, Satan'll appear and- Hey, what am I thinking?! Those three women are nuttos. They can't possibly mean Satan. Like, THE Satan! The ruler of the underworld Satan. No, the ruler of the underworld is Hades. There is no such man as Satan.' He stopped and stared at the ground. 'Nice try, Cody,' he told himself, 'Hades most likely isn't real. Satan probably is.'

Six more minutes . . . Kari threw a glance at her boyfriend. 'He still looks so angry,' she thought as she watched him kick the dirt, 'the last time I've seen him this upset was when Piedmon had turned Tai, Matt, Mimi and the others all into key chains.' She sighed and stared the ground. 'When, Gatomon first digi-volved into Angewomon she was so beautiful,' she thought, 'I was so happy to have an angel Digimon. It was like there was no evil in the world at all. Well, angels and devils have been battling for years. Angemon and Angewomon defeated Myotismon and he was sort of a devil. Maybe they can defeat Satan as well? I sure hope so. A girl's life is on the line . . . '

Five more minutes . . . TK glared at the ground as if it's all the ground' fault. 'No way, no how, there is NO WAY it's Satan,' he thought, 'it just can't be. It just can't.' He glanced at the three women. Fima was glancing at her watch every five seconds. Catrina was fixing her make-up and Eugene was just standing still, swaying a bit on the spot. TK looked over at Kari. She was looking worried and scared. He sighed. 'It most likely is,' he admitted to himself, 'and we have to win this. If we don't . . . I don't want to think about it.'

A small breeze blew Akane's hair lightly. She had her eyes closed for the last ten minutes. 'Four minutes,' she thought as she opend her eyes. Glancing up at her father she thought, 'this is the end. I know it. I just know it. I don't know or remember who Satan is, but he sounds too strong.'

Ken looked down and caught her eye. "Hey, kiddo," he said. Akane tried to give him her usual glare, but she failed big time. A half sad, half scared expression came across her face. "Are you scared?" Ken asked with a smirk, "are you gonna chicken out?" "No," Akane snapped. She looked away. "Mommy said that facinf your fears even if you're scared is one of the greatest strengths in the world," she said, starring up at the sky.

Ken didn't know how to reply to that, so he didn't say anything. "That's good advice," Wormmon told her. "Thanks," Akane mumbled. 'Three minutes to go,' Akane thought to herself, 'okay, here's what I've found out so far in the past. My mother is Yolei. Well, that just about wraps it up.' She sighed.

One minute and fifty seconds passed. "Ten seconds!" Fima announced.

Ten . . . nine . . . eight . . . seven . . . six . . .

"Five!" Fima informed everyone.

Five . . . four . . . three . . . two . . . one . . .

Zero.

Everybody waited, holding their breaths in. Suddenly, there was an explosion.

The End of Chapter 7

Roja- Wow! Now, that was a short chapter. But, it didn't beat chapter 3 of the Empress. That one was really short! Now, Rose isn't back yet. So, I'm here to tell you to review with honesty. Bye!
