Joe made his way into the sewers underneath his church. Ken walked beside
Joe with Wormon, while Yolei followed suit. Hawkmon flew next to her, while
an injured Patamon rested on her head. After ten minutes of traveling, they
came upon a rather large underground plant. Ken recognized as an old waste
treatment facility. Joe smiled, "We're here." Joe motioned to Yolei and the
digimon. "Stay here while I call everyone in to the main room. They don't
take kindly to new faces, but they'll be glad to see you again Ken." Joe
disappeared behind a door.
Yolei sighed to herself. (Ken, the greatest hero in this world. And I am treated like the Plague.) Her thoughts were detoured when suddenly two gigantic figures burst out of a room, scaring the remaining group. Ogremon laughed as he threw Leomon to the ground. "Am I playing too rough for you, Leomon?"
Leomon held out his fist. "It'll take more than that to stop me. Fist of the Beast King!" Energy shot out of Leomon's paw, but Ogremon dodged. Ogremon jumped up into the air, and raised his bone club to strike.
Patamon looked in horror. Ogremon was a friend they had converted, it obviously must not have happened in this world. "Yolei, help Leomon!"
"You got it, Hawkmon. Digi-armor-energize!" Yolei shouted.
In a split second, Hawkmon disappeared, and Shurimon formed in his place. "Samurai of Sincerity!" He aimed his weapons at Ogremon's extended arm. "Double Star!"
Ogremon turned his head when he heard Shurimon call the attack. Shurimon's shurkins flew with pinpoint accuracy, pinning Ogremon's weapon arm to the wall behind him. "What the?" Ogremon remarked.
Leomon jumped to his feet, regarding the new arrivals. Patamon smiled "Leomon!" He cried happily.
"Fist of the Beast King!" A ball of energy sailed from Leomon's fist. Shurimon eyes flew wide as the blast connected him in the stomach, smashing him against the wall. Patamon blinked in surprise was Leomon the evil one? He tried to fly, but didn't have the strength.
Leomon ran up to Ogremon, and ripped the stars out of the wall. "Are you all right my friend?"
"Yup, but we have to but a hold on our sparring match for a bit." Ogremon raised his club, and stood side by side with Leomon. "At least till we get rid of some of the Council's pests." Ogremon and Leomon jumped forward as one.
Yolei closed her eyes and screamed as the two enormous digimon charged. Suddenly the two stopped. Yolei opened her eyes. Ogremon and Leomon stopped, staring at Ken who was right in front of them. "Forgive my acquaintances. They aren't the sharpest tools in the shed."
A second of awkward silence followed, then Leomon cheered. "Ken, you're alive!" Leomon grabbed the young boys shoulder. Leomon let out a laugh, with sounded like a gigantic roar.
"Well, this is something you don't see everyday." Ogremon smiled a toothy grin. "I can't wait to hear how you managed this stunt."
Joe appeared out of the same door. "That'll have to wait. I've assembled everybody in the main room. Come on now." Joe looked over in Yolei's direction. "You may as well come to."
Yolei, Shurimon and Patamon walked into an enormous room behind Joe and Ken. There were several humans in the room. Everyone was brandishing some sort of weapon. There was a table in the center, with digimon around it. Patamon recognized them as Andromon, Centarumon, and Datamon. There was also a small boy with blond hair, who sat at the head. Next him to was a small greenish reptile digimon with a swatch of red hair. Yolei smiled, "Michael!"
Michael cocked an eyebrow, "Do I know you?" Betamon regarded the new arrivals quizzically as well.
Yolei reminded herself, this was another time line. "Ah, no, I heard about you."
Michael was about to question this weird response, when he recognized her associate. "Ken?"
Pandemonium broke loose. Everyone ran up to Ken, shouting, asking questions, almost smothering him to death. Ken just about let his temper and let the spires take over, when Joe pushed everyone back. Ken breathed in and regained his composure. He should take this as a compliment. In this world, people obviously recognized his genius. He put on his best face, a rather painful looking smile. "I'll explain to you what happened, but let me all say, I'm here to lead you once again!"
Applause echoed through the hall. Ken smiled. Yolei, Patamon, and Shurimon just stood silent in disbelief. "We've created a monster." Patamon shook his head weakly.
Ken was already back at the table with the digimon and Michael. Wormon sat on the table next to Betamon. "Ok, I need a general overview of our forces and information we have on the Council of Five." Ken felt someone brushing up against him, and notice Yolei moving next to him. He scowled, how dare this girl think she his equal! He felt the spires begin to take over, so he fought his anger down. This girl was a source of aggravation; he needed to get rid of her. He looked across the table to the blond hair boy. "Michael?" He repeated the name Yolei had said.
Michael looked up. "Yes Ken?"
Ken smiled and motioned to Yolei. "Please take my associate here and show her around the base. I'd like to now where we stand on defensives."
"Ah yeah, sure." Michael walked around the table to Yolei. "Come on I guess."
Yolei agreed. Michael seemed so unsure of himself. He was quite confident in the other time line. Yolei took Patamon off her head and gave him to Shurimon. She whispered to Patamon. "You two keep on eye on Ken. I don't trust him."
Patamon nodded on top of Shurimon's head. Yolei turned and followed Michael down the hall. Michael seemded rather distant, almost afraid to talk. "Michael?" Yolei finally asked.
"Yes?" Michael looked up.
"If you don't mind me asking, you seem a little, well, out of it. Is something wrong?" Yolei questioned.
Michael turned around completely. "Well, kind of." He took his digivice off his pelt and showed it to her. "This makes me something called a digidestined. After Ken died, all the good digimon looked to me to be there next leader. The device meant I was destined to help save the world apparently. Although also it was destined that there would be other digidestined as well, and I'm the only we could ever find. There where rumours of others, but if there were, the Council of Five killed them." Michael sighed. "It was an unbelievable pressure. I did the best I could, but I was no Ken. Now Ken's back and I'm instantly forgotten. Now don't get me wrong! I admired Ken as next as the next person, and he's ten times the leader I could ever be, but I liked everyone looking up to and respecting me."
Yolei smiled to Michael. "Michael, I respect you."
"But you hardly know me." Michael replied.
"Doesn't matter. Believe me, I know you tried your best under extreme conditions, and I also know you are one of the best people alive, easily equal to Ken." Yolei wanted to say he was ten times the person Ken is but everybody here stills worships Ken and she had to go along with that story.
Michael just stared at her for a second, not knowing what to do. Then all of a sudden, he bent forward, and kissed Yolei tenderly on the lips. Yolei had her eyes wide open in surprise at first, but closed them after a bit. The kiss went on for several seconds until Michael finally pulled away. Yolei brushed her lips with her fingers, "What was that for?"
"I don't really know," Michael blushed. "I just felt an overwhelming urge to kiss you. You're a remarkable person yourself, and quite beautiful."
Yolei blushed as well, turning red under her glasses. "Th... thank you." Yolie stumbled for her words.
A bit of awkard silence followed, until Michael grabbed Yolei's hand. "Come on, let's see the rest of the base."
Yolei and Michael came back into the main room, smiling at one another. Ken noticed and smiled to himself. He was a genius, now that irksome girl was the blond American kid's problem. Michael and Yolei made their way back to the table, expect this time Michael stayed close to Yolei. If Ken didn't know any better, he could swear he felt a pang of jealousy toward Micael. But relationships where for the weak. He didn't not desire them, so it passed quickly. "Yolei?"
Yolei stopped staring at Michael. "Yes Ken?"
Ken almost told her to call him the Digimon Emperor, but stopped. Old habits die hard. "Where are the rest of your friends? Our forces are a bit lacking, and we need all the strength we can muster, no matter how little."
Yolei growled at the hidden insult. "I don't know we where separated after Phantomon kidnapped Izzy. I don't where they are now."
Pathetic can't even stay together. Ken sighed. "Never mind. We'll keep on eye out for them. But one way or another I will take Ladydevimon of her throne." (Which rightfully belongs to me.)
Yolei sighed to herself. (Ken, the greatest hero in this world. And I am treated like the Plague.) Her thoughts were detoured when suddenly two gigantic figures burst out of a room, scaring the remaining group. Ogremon laughed as he threw Leomon to the ground.
