Chapter 3
I had to get Veemon to the Digital world. Whatever Ken was up to, I couldn't face him without my partner's help. This was an emergency.

When I got home, I grabbed Veemon and ran for my computer. "Daisuke, what are you doing?" he asked as I raised my D-3.

"We've got to save Miyako," I said as we entered the Digital World.

All of the spiraling colors surrounded me when I traveled there, and it always made me feel a little sick, though I've always hid it well. But, I was distracted this time, because I had more to lose than ever before.

When I landed, I was in a large castle, surrounded by solid rock ten feet in the air.

"Well, Daisuke, I hope you're ready," Ken said, Standing over me. Next to him, Miyako was chained to a throne in a dress that looked like it was made for a queen.

"I don't want to fight you if I don't have to, Ken," I said, "But I will."

"Pretty simple: If you win, you get the girl. If I win, she becomes my queen and you die."

"And what if I don't want to be your queen?" Miyako asked.

"Then you'll fall victim to the new Dark Ring," he said, "It can control people and Digimon." I saw Miyako cringe. "Wurmmon, Dark Digivolve!"

"Wurmmon, Dark Digivolve to: Dark Paildramon!"
Boy, was I in trouble.
