Digimon: Death of Akume

Chapter 2: Rage

"You, what?" Izzy asked Sokkia.

"I, I love you, Izzy." She replied to the boy

"W, When," Izzy stuttered, "How, how did you know?"

"How did I know what?" Sokkia asked the boy, she honestly had no idea what he was talking about.

"How did you know I've had a crush on you?" He asked her

"You what?" Sokkia asked in surprise, 'This makes matters even easier.' She thought to herself as she slightly redefined the plan. "You like me?"

"No, that was last year. This year I love you." Izzy said, emphasizing the word love. "Sokkia, will you go out with me?" Izzy asked her in a very kind voice.

"Yes, yes I will, Izzy." She replied. 'Poor boy, he's so sweet. It'll be hard to break his heart. Oh, well. Revenge usually costs a couple of friends.' She thought as her plan began to take action. She and Izzy embraced in a hug. She felt something in that hug. She didn't know what it was, but she knew she liked it. Right then, that was all that mattered. She allowed a tear to fall from her eye as a tribute to her dead friend. It would be the last tear she allowed to fall for a few weeks.

"Izzy, sweetheart, do we have to go with them again?" Sokkia asked him. "I wanted to be alone for a little while." Sokkia added in a seductive voice. It had been two months since Akume had died, and the Emperor was still at large.

"I wish we could, but the Digiworld is a dangerous place and there is safety in numbers." Izzy replied.

"Let me guess, Tai said it." Sokkia said with an exasperated sigh.

"Actually, no. Gatomon did." He replied patiently. Izzy knew Sokkia didn't like Tai, and that right after Akume died, she blamed Tai for the death. Little did he know she still did.

Sokkia had accidentally stumbled upon Izzy's secret of being a Digidestined, even though she had already known. She had accidentally been transported with them to the secret world. Then the questions came and the hate was exposed.

~Flashback~
"Sokkia! How did you get here?" Izzy had asked immediately.

"I don't know how I got here. All I know is I went through that computer monitor and ended up here." She had replied.

"How could she have gotten here without a Digivice?" Tai had asked.

"I don't suppose you'd remember Myotismon, now would you?" Sokkia had asked him

"What? Myotismon? What does he have to do with this?" Tai asked her.

"Well, maybe, just maybe, I was one of the girls he bit, and maybe, just maybe, that's what transported me here. My link with the Digiworld." Sokkia replied with heavy sarcasm and angry eyes.

"What's the matter, Sokkia?" Izzy asked her softly.

"It was his fault. He dumped her earlier that day." She said with a deep hatred in her voice.

"He couldn't have known it would have had that effect." Izzy said as calmly as he could under the circumstances. Tai was oblivious that Sokkia was talking about Akume's death. Sokkia was about ready to throw her plan out the window and just rip his throat out. Right there, right then. Sokkia began to try and charge him, but his friend Matt had tackled her before she could reach him. Matt held her down until she had regained control of herself. She whipped out a false apology and left with Izzy to talk about what had happened.
~Flashback~

They had talked a long time that day and Izzy thought that Sokkia had genuinely apologized for the incident and forgiven Tai, and that now she was just annoyed by him. He didn't know how wrong he was.

"Alright, I guess I could go along with you. Again." Sokkia said, tired of arguing. She was saving that for the Digimon Emperor. He had remade her plan to a much simpler form. Now all she needed was for him to capture her.

They went to the computer room at the school and met the others. Then they went to the Digiworld for a picnic. Everyone had come, Davis, Yolei, Cody, T.K., Kari, Matt, Sora, Joe, Izzy, Sokkia, Tai, and even Mimi who was visiting from America.

They had just gotten the food out on the blanket when the Digimon Emperor attacked. The Digidestined scattered and Gatomon, Patamon, Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon Armor Digivolved. Now my chance would come. None of the other Digimon had arrived yet. The Emperor sent Leomon, Ogremon, Meramon, Centarumon, Unimon, and Phantomon. Most of which were normally peaceful Digimon.

Within a matter of minuets, the battle had turned for the worse. Neferitymon and Pegasusmon had been cornered at a cliff just outside of the forest they had been picnicking in. Flamedramon was being straddled by Leomon, Digmon had been forced back to Armadillomon, and Halsamon had also been forced back to rookie level. Now was her time to work. She found a big stone and ran from the shrubs. Sokkia ran to where Meramon, Centarumon, and Ogremon had cornered Neferitymon and Pegasusmon. She heaved the stone and hit her mark, she had landed the stone right inside Centarumon's helmet. He backed away, startled. The other two Digimon turned and went after her. Ogremon caught up to her first and scooped her up. She pretended to fight him, but really it was all show. Seeing this, and the fact that the two Digimon that had been cornered were now turning the fight around, the Digimon Emperor decided to retreat while he still had a slightly upper hand. The Ogremon carried Sokkia from the battlefield.

When they had gotten out of hearing range of the Digidestined, the Ogremon spoke to the Emperor.

"Emperor, what shall I do with this girl?" Ogremon asked the ruler.

"Take her to the prison." He replied coldly. Sokkia looked up at him.

"Emperor, may I speak?" She asked the younger boy. He looked at her, curious.

"I suppose so, if you stop when I say." He told her

"Thank you, Emperor." Sokkia said to him, "I believe we both have a similar goal." The Emperor looked at her with interest. "You wish to conquer the Digiworld. I wish to have revenge against a Digidestined."

"How does that qualify as a common goal?" The Emperor asked the captive girl.

"The Digidestined I wish to have revenge on stands up against you. The younger girl, Kari, her big brother, Tai Kamiya is the one I wish to see suffer. The leader of the younger group, Davis, looks up to Tai. Those two people won't accept the fact that Tai is a murderer, and I was a witness to his crime." Sokkia told the Emperor, the fire of hate enveloping her heart till she had almost no kindness left. "Now I wish to make Tai pay." Sokkia bowed her head to the Emperor.

"Interesting, but how do I know this is not a bluff or an escape attempt?" The other boy asked her.

"Put Tai in front of me. I'll tear him apart with my bare hands, or I'll at least try my best to." Sokkia looked up at the Emperor, studying his features. "Wait a minuet, Ken? Is that you?" She asked him.

"So they didn't tell you who I am." Ken replied.

"I am honored even further to be in the presence of someone so great, brother." Sokkia said. Ken looked at her curiously.
