"Hello Readers, I have a few things to say about this chapter, first off Taichou's Mother's departure from this fic is purposely made to be the focal funny point of the entire chapter, while a lot of the rest of the chapter is depressing or neutral" says Salamon2
"Are you sure you're ending this soon?" says Salamon
"Yes Salamon, quite… this part will be done very soon…" says Salamon2
"PUPPY HOWLING!" cries Salamon
"Alright! I'll get typing!" says Salamon2
"And make it snappy!" says Salamon

'Where am I?' asked Touchi trying to open his eyes.
'DON'T DO ANYTHING!' shouted a voice within the darkness of the closed eye lids.
'Why?' asked Touchi
"Touchi, have you ever wanted to be great at something?' asked the voice
'What are you and who are you? How do you know my name, and why are you inside my head?' asked Touchi
'Didn't you ever want to get even with your brothers? When the beat you and you almost died because of it… didn't you feel as though they deserved a just reward, and only if you were as great as they were… so that you could give it to them… I can make you great Touchi… greater than all the Kings of the past… greater than any to come!' said the voice enticingly
'But my brother is King… and he can help me…' said Touchi
'Sure he does… but he has a new wife, and I bet they'll have a child any day now… and after that you'll just be like you have been for the past couple of weeks… alone… with no one to help you…' said the voice
'You're right… you're right' sobbed Touchi
'I'll make sure you'll never be worried about being alone or hurt ever again… Together we can create a whole being who isn't afraid to stand up for himself, or to speak out, or fight back…'
'Thank you… Thank you…' sobbed Touchi's thoughts

"Matt's gone, Tai's asked me to look for him, but I don't know if we can… I lied to T.K…. we can't find his brother… we can't even beat Piedmon… I didn't want to tell him… but it's the truth. Poor T.K.! We're never going to get home! So why should I even try?" said a girl with strawberry blonde hair, blue helmet, yellow tank top, blue jeans, black sneakers, and red gloves. Strangely enough to Kari she looked so familiar, resembling Sorea. Kari tried to interact within her dream, but like the previous two dreams no one paid her any heed.
"SORA!" screamed a bird like Digimon, unhappy with what the girl had said.
"Sora, you can't think that!" shouted a blue haired boy who looked similar to Jyoudo.
"We'll never go home!" said Sora

And there the dream ended. Kari awoke, a terrible headache upon her, and a white mist was above her, and Takevi's bed. She was petrified.
"Takevi…" it whispered, a female voice emitting from it. Takevi stirred, moaning, it repeated it's call, and his eyes opened and he sat up.
"Mom!" said Takevi, and the mist vanished, unfreezing Kari.

"What is that horrid little creature?!" cried Taichou's mother, Tacha, as Taichou sat on a chair. He looked out the window, starring at the seas that he had crossed with his mother, soon the boats would be ready for war, it wouldn't be too many weeks until the army would be organized and the troops could be sent to Takaishi to help the King of that land. In Taichou's hand, was the cause of his mother's remark, the small Botamon. It bounced from his hand to the window ledge and puffed up in anger.
"Never mind her…" said Taichou with despair, he had let his mother have her say in everything, and why would it need to change now? But the Botamon's small ego was really affected, he puffed up and released an attack bubble of enormous consequences, it was bigger than the already overweight woman, she was absorbed into the bubble, and from there it floated up and away, being carried by the wind over the waves, to the south, where no known land existed. She screamed for help but her son only watched as she left and laughed along with the Botamon, happy to see the Puppet Master gone, his throne was now his again.

"There you go… are you feeling better?" asked Sorea to the injured Biyomon. The pink bird looked battered and worn.
"I don't know how I can thank you… if you hadn't helped me-" started the Biyomon
"Shh…" said Sorea
"No… if you hadn't helped me… I would have digideleted and died…" said the Biyomon
"All that I want to do for you is to make sure of your safety…" said Sorea, kneeling on the ground, hugging the Digimon, she felt a certain connection with the Digimon, that she had never felt before with anyone, it was a weird feeling to describe.

"And how was your meeting in Kenouchita Koshi?" asked an elderly man, probably he was ninety, he wore clothes which showed his high position in the political world, with a green velveteen hat, and purple feather upon his head.
"Fine…" said Koshi
"So we are to help my nephew?" asked Koshi
"Correct Dad…" said Koshi looking out the window.
"Son… I have some very bad news…" said an elderly man
"What is it?" asked Koshi, the teen smiling stupidly.
"Since you've been away at that conference in Takenouchi some changes have been taking place here in Izumi…" said the King.
"Yes?" asked Koshi innocently.
"Well… son… your mother… well she was killed…" said the elderly man.
"killed?" asked the teen as though he were a four year old who didn't know the meaning of the word.
"Yes… Wild Digimon from Kido have recently migrated south into our nation…" said the man.
"Well if you were going to talk about us… you didn't have to insult us!" said a Digimon voice, and from the ceiling of the carriage that both humans were in the cloth roof was torn, and a Gremelmon, landed on the floor of the coach. Suddenly the carriage came to a sharp stop, tipping it. Koshi escaped from the carriage, only to find it surrounded by Trollmon, large vicious Digimon of the Mountains… they carried large clubs, one of which hit the carriage and the King within it.
"Well lookie what we've got here… a newly crowned King…" said the Gremelmon coming out from the coach remains, and smirking with glee. The entire group surrounded Koshi, he covered his head in fear to afraid of what was about to happen.
"SUPER SHOCKER!" screamed a voice, and the large Digimon were taken by surprise, being electrocuted from behind. The large Trollmon were shocked unconscious due to their weak spots being hit, and they fell to the ground. A single Tentomon stood behind the group.
"DON'T HURT ME!" cried Koshi.
"Now why would I want to do that?" asked the Digimon, who then flew over to the ruler, he looked the teen over, then smirked.
"Are you the King of this wretched Kingdom?" asked the Tentomon.
"I guess… my father was just killed…" said Koshi meekly.
"Come with me…" said the Tentomon, and he flew up into the air, heading off into a direction. Koshi had doubts as to where he was going, after he got up and headed after the Digimon, but that Digimon had saved his life, so he gave him the benefit of the doubt.

"You know… Digitopia will be put down… after what they did to your father, murdering him and then annexing your kingdom… that's got to stretch them out… so where their the weakest… attack…" said Myalki, Myaika's younger sister. She sat very close to Sotu, he was ignoring the flirtatious girl, who was making bold and obvious advances. He bit his lip, more word from his nation was sorrowful, his family, the one and only royal family of Ichijouji had been murdered by the Digitopian Occupiers.
"But in the mean time… you need a queen… someone to help you rebuild your Kingdom, to be with you every step of the way… and to never turn back from doing so! Someone who can handle the pressure… someone like-"
"MYALKI!" cried Myaika
"Myaika! You should know better than to interrupt people who are trying to have a private conversation!" said Myalki, thinking Sotu would back her up. Myaika slapped her sister.
"GET OUT! AND I DON'T MEAN JUST FROM MY SIGHT BUT FROM THE PALACE! YOU ARE NO LONGER MY SISTER!" cried Myaika. Myalki ran out crying. Sotu looked up at Myaika.
"You didn't have to do that you know…" said Sotu
"She had it coming to her anyway… are you enjoying your stay in Inoue?" asked Myaika, her timidity returning with every second.
"Not really… you still haven't given me the tour of the palace you promised…" said Sotu
"I could do it… I mean… we could start now…" said Myaika.
"Really? Now? I would like that actually…" said Sotu, and he stood, and took Myaika's arm, both felt a chill across their bodies upon their touch, and both paused before starting the tour.

Iroi Hida sat on his horse, he looked to his right and left, all of his generals had abandoned him on the bloodied field, on the other side of the field he saw his sister, sitting on top of a cart drawn by GoldUnimons.
"Give up now foolish brother of mine! You are outnumbered, and abandoned!" cried his sister from across the field.
"NEVER! YOU ARE MY SUBJECT!" cried Iroi
"Brother… I am your superior, which I am just about to prove!" said Iroka and she snapped her fingers and from her Digimon lines flew a large Rosemon, she pulled back her whip and aimed it at the young boy who tried getting his horse to move, but the horse was content to stay and eat, so it sat down. Now Iroi was strapped in and had no idea what he was doing. The whip came down upon the ruler, humbling the poor boy.

Yamaki sat alone in his chambers, he looked around at the room, it was full of gifts, and presents he had wanted to give to Memai upon their marriage day, but that would never come, and truthfully Yamaki didn't know how to handle it. She was out there planning something against them all, especially Takaishi, Kido, and him… but all he could do was wait for his army to form… and in the mean time live the memories he'd never have with his child.

"My King…" said Wizardmon hypnotically, as a Devimon landed in the courtyard of the Aishitak Palace turned Dictator's Mansion. Off of it slide the body of an eight year old, pale blonde hair, and fiery red eyes. Wizardmon, well therefore any Digimon on the mainland only saw the energy that was Kuroimon, and not the body he possessed.
"What is it Wizardmon?" snarled the boy in a cold and cruel tone, walking away from the courtyard and into the main palace. The Devimon had dedigivolved to DemiDevimon and sat on his shoulders, like a parrot.
"Queen Memai requests a consultation with you…" said the wizard Digimon
"And when will Miss I want to be evil show up?" asked the boy.
"She is already here my lord…" said the controlled Digimon, just like all of the other Digimon in the country.
"In the castle now?" asked the young child.
"Yes…" said the Wizard Digimon.
"Keep her delayed until after the sunsets… I need to regain my energy… traveling takes a lot out of you… Just tell her that I have other, more important matters to attend to first… that should put her in her place…" said the boy who hen ran ahead up the stairs towards his private chambers.
...0100101110101110...
"What are you doing? I wanted to say something and then you wouldn't let me!" said Touchi inside his mind.
"You can not, must not come out… not like SaberLeomon… you'll be locked away… able to see all but say nothing!" shouted the new voice.
"But what about our agreemen-" started Touchi who then felt his voice leave him, he now was muted.
"I do not agree… I conquer!" said the voice, now having locked Touchi's soul away.
...0100101110101110...
"OTHER MATTERS TO ATTEND TO FIRST!" screamed Memai, hormones clearly in control, she being seven months pregnant.
"If you will just wait until tonight, then he'll meet with you…" said Wizardmon
"He better… or I'll reconsider switching sides!" said Memai falsely.
...0100101110101110...
King Jyoudo stood around behind his attack plans, he thanked himself for thinking ahead and bringing part of his army with him to the meeting Kenouchita. Although he had his army it wasn't much good since he had left the majority of it at home, where they had been spread out all over the country, easy to attack and defeat. And what was worse is that reports of Digido agents in the northern Takenouchi Islands, he'd already pledged his allegiance, now it was time to help defend the Takenouchians against his problems.
...0100101110101110...
"King Kuroimon…" said Wizardmon, introducing Kuroimon.
"A child!" screamed Memai who was then pressed back, psychically, into the wall.
"I am only in procession of the body… nothing else, I am still a digimon… now what do YOU want to say?" asked Kuroimon
"Since your army is spread out over Ichijouji… leaving you defenseless at home… I was wondering if you'd let me take it… Your army then will be ready for any attack Takaishi has...." said Memai, regaining her elegance. Kuroimon thought for a moment.
"Agreed… put part of your army there… then we shall invade…" said Kuroimon, who then walked over to a large map of the eleven kingdoms.
"Which nations?" asked Memai
...0100101110101110...
"Ishida, Takenouchi, Kaymia, and the remaining islands of Takaishi are what we need to take over! Digido is already invading Izumi, and the northern half of Takenouchi. Tell Motomiya to split Inoue with Digida, and to share Ishida with you, and the Takaishi Islands with me. And you take Kaymia for yourself…" said Kuroimon pointing to the Kingdoms as he mentioned them.
"And what about Hida?" asked Memai
"Digida has almost taken that over completely…" said Kuroimon.
"Well King Kuroimon… I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful alliance" said Memai politely.
"After they are gone… You're next you wench!" thought Kuroimon as he grinned deceitfully.
...0100101110101110...
"Do you really have to go?" asked Kari
"I have to organize an army to invade the mainland… you know that… I'll be back as soon as I can…" said Takevi
"Takevi… before you go… could you tell me more about your mother?" asked Kari, remembering waking up with the white fog above her.
"She was the most kindest and gentlest of souls out there… she would never want to harm anyone… She died in childbirth as you know… and that is all I ever knew of her…" said Takevi.
"Takevi…" started Kari
"Write to me often… I know I will… Good bye for now… My love…" said Takevi, and with that he kissed her and left the room. Kari sat down on the bed, she felt there was something he wasn't telling her, something wasn't right. Kari laid down on the bed, and slipped easily out of the shoes, the warm west wind blew into the room, and Kari found the Island scent pleasing, and relaxing. All was calm where she was, she slowly closed her eyes, the setting sun in the not too far off distance. No sooner had her eyes closed had a white fog entered the room and fly over Kari and hovered there for a few seconds before it vanished into Kari.
