ELP: Okay, here's the low-down: The Digidestined are fighting the Digimon Kaiser when something completely strange happens, forcing the Digidestined to rethink who the person really is inside. Please continue to read, for the notes at the beginning of each chapter are crucial to the story. Thank you.

It was a typical day for the Digidestined: Go to school, then to the Digiworld, and then fight the Kaiser. At the moment, they were already in the computer lab. Kari sighed, feeling sick for some reason. She had been feeling sick for a full week know, and was quite sure that it was just a common cold combined with stress. She had told Miyako about it, but not her parents. Miyako was her most trusted best friend, who would probably be there for the rest of her life. Miyako had gone completely pale, and immediately started research on it, but mostly just listened and offered advice. She was standing beside Kari now, looking worriedly at her best friend.
" Are you feeling okay?" Miyako whispered, making sure no one else heard them. Kari nodded.
" Yes, just a little dizzy. Nothing serious. Just, try and keep Davis away...... He's really been getting on my nerves." She whispered back, smirking a bit. Miyako grinned, cracking her knuckles loudly.
" No sweat." She stated, stretching a bit. Davis was about to walk over to her, when Miyako distracted him.
" Hey, clog head!" She laughed, teasing Davis. He chased her a bit, before she stopped dead in her tracks, making him run straight into her back, falling flat onto the floor. Miyako walked back over to Kari, readying the port.
" Digi-port, OPEN!" She exclaimed, the port opening. They were all sucked in, Davis being last.
They were transported to a large, flatly green field. The Digimon Kaiser was standing there, Wormmon by his side.
" Well, finally, someone shows up. I was beginning to think that some teacher caught you." Davis snarled at the Kaiser's snide remark.
" We've got better things to do, Ken!" Kaiser snarled.
" Don't call me that................" He growled, fist clenching. Miyako noticed something: Ken seemed...... Sick. Sort of the same way like Kari..... They both had a grayish complexion at the time, along with the fact that their eyes had dark circles underneath them. Miyako blinked.
" Dude, you look like you came up from the dead and you still want to pick a fight?" She guessed, trying to figure it all out. Kaiser's right arm was shaking.
" Oh shut up. Do you not think I realize how sick I am? I have my own ways to deal with it. And I'm sure you all have your way, as well." Kari's left arm was shaking, and she wasn't even angry. Kaiser's eye was twitching, sort of like he was in some sort of pain.
" Now, you could just....... Surrender, or we could........Fight." Kaiser stated, taking pauses of pain. Kari was feeling the same, though she was able to conceal it better, since she was not talking. Miyako was noticing both of the humans twitching and feeling pain.
" What the hell is going on here?!" She shouted, looking at both of them, " Are you guys alright?"
" Miyako.......... It's hurting............" Kari moaned, outstretching her vibrating arm. Kaiser did the same, only opposite arm. Suddenly, from the tips of their fingers, streaks of metal flew from their fingers, making them both cry out in pain from skin tearing, flesh bleeding. The metal from both people collided, everything dropping onto the ground. Kari held her arm close to her stomach, dropping into Miyako's arms. Kaiser wasn't as lucky. All he could do was hunch his back, holding his arm to his solid stomach. His glasses slide off, revealing crystal like violet/blue eyes, along with a painful stare at the ground. Kari seemed in a lot of pain, as well. Miyako was dead worried, trying to help her friend.
" Wormmon, what's going on!?!?!?" Kaiser asked, pain thundering through his voice. Wormmon was near tears.
" I don't know!" Kaiser fell to his knees, staring at his finger tips. The holes sealed up, nothing but blood left. Kari's hands did the same, and suddenly, the pain was gone for the two people. Kaiser's forehead was glistened with sweat. Kari passed out, really taking it hard. Kaiser slipped his glassed back on, trying desperately to stand and defend himself against the Digidestined. He managed to get to his feet, but just barely. He was favoring his arm, trying to act evil and mean in the presence of pure pain. Miyako stared.
" Okay, I suggest a truce. Please, you and Kari have the same problem, why can't we all work together to fix it?" Kaiser shook his head.
" Because we're enemies! We can't mingle and be merciful towards each other. You shouldn't care about anyone but yourself, otherwise you become weak to attack..........." Ken stated, still favoring his arm. Miyako frowned.
" Hawkmon, Digi-armor energize!" Miyako shouted, making Hawkmon energize to Halsemon.
" Capture the Kaiser! Let's take shelter in that cave, It's going to rain soon!" Miyako shouted, carrying Kari into the cave. The others followed, Halsemon grabbing Kaiser and throwing him into the cave, Wormmon following faithfully. Halsemon stood at the entrance like a guard, DeDigivolving into Hawkmon. Kaiser got onto his knees, his arm still throbbing in pain. Kari was already laid down, being watched over by Gatomon and Cody. Miyako grabbed Kaiser by the throat, lifted him onto his feet and pinning him against the wall.
" You're right. We shouldn't be merciful. You are going to lead us to your base, without attacking us, and we are going to lock ourselves in with you, and none of your servants. Then, we're going to find out what's going on with Kari and you, and if it turns out that you try and trick us........." Miyako scanned Kaiser quickly.
" You'll what?" Kaiser asked, being tough. Miyako growled.
" I'll rip em' off." Kaiser's eyes went wide, his legs crossing. Miyako smirked.
" That's the spirit. Don't try anything." She stated, releasing his neck and checking outside. It was pouring rain.
" We'll rest until the storm lets up." Miyako stated, sitting down beside Kari's unconscious form. Kaiser's arm was still shaking, and with no chance of getting to the base and getting it treated, Kaiser was stuck to glare at his arm and ponder a way to get back at Miyako. His arm looked weird: Instead of a normal pale flesh color that used to belong to him, his arm was pale silver, and his veins had gone a weird grey color. Cody was examining the blades that had flown from Kari and Kaiser's finger tips. He suddenly cried out.
" Hey, I figured it out!" Miyako smiled.
" So, what is is?" Cody smiled.
" Well, since the blades only came from the 4 fingers, not the thumb, I figured out a pattern. Kari's blades were pure Silver, while Ken's were pure Iron. If I'm correct, then they both have a certain metal. But, to prove it, I'd need another sample." Kaiser smirked, pointing his hand at the ground.
" I guess you'll be proving your theory soon......." With a cry of pain, his fingers split, throwing more blades into the solid stone ground. He pulled his hand back near his stomach, trying to suppress the pain. Miyako grabbed his hand, examining it. The holes healed faster this time, and a little less painfully. Kaiser stared at Miyako's concerned face.
" Hmmmmmmmm........ They seem to heal about 5 seconds later, but I may be off. Here, Cody, these are more of those blades. Can you tell anything from them?" Cody took the blades, letting Davis and Takeru peer over his shoulder.
" There are weird markings, like a code. Probably in an old language. My grandfather might know." Ken laughed to himself.
" This is going to be a long day........"
