LOVE'S TRUE STRENGTH
Chapter Seven: A Change of Heart
The Digimon Emperor stood on the back of a Cyclonemon and stared down at the digidestined with a smirk. The regular Davis, TK, Yolei and Cody were accompanied by Tai and Matt.
"It does seem like one of you is missing, doesn't it?" The Digimon Emperor laughed.
"Where's Kari, you low life!" Davis demanded.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about," The Digimon Emperor said coyly, folding his arms.
"Give my sister back!" Tai ordered.
"Yeah, give Kari back!" Gatomon shouted. "Or I'll have to go up there and shred your sorry hide!"
"Do you really think your threats would phase me in the least?" The Digimon Emperor laughed. "You can't even digivolve."
"We can!" Hawkmon, Veemon, Armadillomon and Patamon said at once.
The Cyclonemon used his hyper heat to knock all the digidestined and their digimon off their feet.
"I can't help you, digidorks," The Digimon Emperor began, "maybe you should try to find Kari somewhere else."
The Cyclonemon started off back toward the base.
"We know you have her, Ken!" Davis shouted. "And we're going to do everything in our power to get her baaaaaaack!"
"You don't have it in your power to get her back," The Digimon Emperor laughed to himself.
He and the Cyclonemon were back at the base in no time. The Digimon Emperor was exhausted as he walked through the many hallway to his viewing room. He pulled off his gloves as he fell into his chair and took in a deep breath, trying to relax. Suddenly, his door opened.
"I don't want to be disturbed so leave!" The Digimon Emperor shouted.
"Sorry."
That was not the voice of Wormon or any of his minions. That was Kari's voice. The Digimon Emperor looked around the back of his chair. It was Kari all right, now fully dressed. She was smiling and holding a plate. The Digimon Emperor was confused.
"I made you a sandwich," Kari said, raising the plate lightly.
The Digimon Emperor stared at her in shock. Sick of not being invited in, Kari decided to enter. She walked up to the Emperor's throne and held the sandwich out to him. He reluctantly took it from her.
"Is it poisoned?" The Digimon Emperor asked, eyeing the sandwich suspiciously.
"No, silly," Kari giggled. "Where would I get poison?"
The Emperor set the sandwich on his console, saying, "Why're you being nice to me all of a sudden?"
"Well," Kari began shyly as she twisted the necklace he gave her around her finger. "I guess I just figured that I might be here for a while and I should try to make the best of it."
"Awfully chipper attitude for a captive," The Digimon Emperor commented as he turned to his computer and began tapping away at the keys.
"Creating a control spire?" Kari asked, glancing at his screen.
"Uh-huh," he grunted as he typed. "I have to replace the one you and your friends knocked down the other day."
Kari leaned against the console right next to where the Digimon Emperor was typing. "You know what we should do?"
The Digimon Emperor stopped typing and glanced over at Kari. She leaned a little bit closer to him, her large umber eyes smiling with excitement.
"Go swimming," she said.
The Digimon Emperor raised an eyebrow, then went back to typing.
"Well?" she asked.
"I don't swim," the Emperor muttered.
"You mean you can't swim," Kari assumed.
"No," he turned toward her, "I mean I DON'T swim."
"Come on," she urged. "It'll be fun to get out of the base."
"Is that why you came in here?" The Digimon Emperor accused hardly. "First you get my guard down with your nicey routine, get me to take you out into the digital world, then you run away the first chance you get."
"What? No!" Kari said affronted.
"I'm very busy," the Emperor grumbled, going back to typing. "Could you just leave?"
Kari straightened up, indignantly.
"Fine!" she shot at him as she stomped out of the room.
The Digimon Emperor winced.
"Master," Wormon began, "I don't believe that was the best way to handle that?"
"Who asked you?" The Digimon Emperor yelled.
"Ken, you're not going to win her by being cruel," Wormon said. "Maybe you should try being nice, how you use to be."
"Why should I listen to you?" The Digimon Emperor muttered angerly.
"Isn't it worth a try?" Wormon asked.
The Digimon Emperor let out a defeated sigh.
