"What the hell are you?" Ken walked back, in horror.

Izzy walked forward. His black aura was wrapped around him as he advanced on Ken. "Curious now? As you may have guessed, I am not completely human. Ladydevimon is my mother, and another viral digimon, Devimon, was my father. I was born on Earth, so I'm part human, but I have the powers of a digimon. Since I'm part human and part digimon, I remember both time lines, due to my unique brain.."

"Why didn't they tell me this?" Ken's voice quivered.

Izzy's red eyes looked over Ken. "Perhaps because you would try to kill me since I am more powerful than you?" Izzy picked up the metal pipe Ken had attacked him with, bending it in half. "Now that I know where you stand, I have a little bit of a problem. I was hoping that you'd come to our side, but it seems you're true colors have come through." Izzy dropped the twisted pipe as he reached for Ken.

"Leave him alone!" Wormon jumped on Izzy's head.

"Wormon, don't make me hurt you. It's not like you have a chance." Izzy took Wormon off his head without the slightest effort. "But I have to stop Ken."

"No!" Wormon announced as he squirmed in Izzy's grip. His body began to turn white. Izzy dropped Wormon in surprise as Wormon's form began to grow. "Wormon digivolve to.STINGMON!" Stingmon landed on the ground, his tall massive form looming over Izzy.

Izzy looked at the new tall insect humanoid digimon. "An impressive champion form, but I can't let you go free. Someone important to me might get hurt. Now just come with me."

"I won't let you take Ken!" A blade of energy formed on Stingmon's right hand. "Spiking STRIKE!" Stingmon struck at Izzy's chest.

The blade stopped an inch from Izzy's chest. Stingmon's compound eyes were wide open as Izzy's hands where clamped on his arm, holding him back. Stingmon couldn't believe how strong Izzy was. He was straining to push his blade forward, but Izzy didn't even look like he was trying. "Perhaps I should be more precise. When I said I had the powers of a digimon, I meant a mega digimon." Izzy squeezed Stingmon's arm tightly, causing Stingmon to grimace in pain. "And you're no mega digimon."

Stingmon realized this as he was forced to his knees. He tried to pull his arm away, but it was as if it was in an immovable vice. "Leave him alone!" Ken shouted.

Izzy turned his gaze to Ken. Ken smashed his palm into Izzy's face. Izzy didn't flinch, knowing Ken couldn't possibly hurt him with his protective aura on. Ken figured this fact on his own, which is why he had a pair of the same exploding flash balls he used on Myotismon. When he smashed the balls in Izzy's face, they detonated in a brilliant flash of light. Ken grunted in pain as he burnt his hand, but Izzy screamed louder as it looked like a supernova exploded in front if his eyes. He let go of Stingmon, screaming as he placed his hands over his eyes, stumbling backwards.

Stingmon was now free. Without hesitating for a moment, he flew off, picking up Ken. Stingmon flew down the halls, and started flying down the stairs, heading to the basement. "Are you okay Ken?" Stingmon asked as he flew out of the stairwell and down another hall.

"I've been better." Ken grimaced, his palm was red and he could feel the blisters starting to take place. "But we can worry about that later. We have to find the other digidestined before Izzy can. I am not going to lose!"

A flower rope wrapped around Stingmon's back leg. "Bets?" Lillymon pulled hard. Stingmon went back, but momentum carried Ken forward and into the wall. Ken slumped to the ground, knocked out. Stingmon stopped himself shortly before he hit the wall. Lillymon waved at him. "Hey there tall, dark, and insectoid. Where are you off too in such a hurry?"

"Back off if you know what's good for you!" Stingmon shouted at Lillymon, ripping the flower rope off his leg.

"Cute." Lillymon chuckled. "You must be Wormon's champion form. I love the shoulder spikes. You do know how to accesorize."

"Spiking Strike!" Stingmon's blade expanded on his arm, and he dove at Lillymon.

Lillymon did the splits as she flew up, Stingmon sailied under her, as Lillymon brought her legs down, her ankles smashing on either side of Stingmon's stomach.. Stingmon landed on the ground, clutching his sides. "Why do you keep thinking you can take me? I mean come on now!" Lillymon got down on one knee. "Does ultimate status mean nothing to you?"

Stingmon's quickly lunged forward again, hoping to catch Lillymon off guard. "Spiking STRIKE!"

Lillymon moved quickly, surprising Stingmon. "Not quick enough, although few are." Lillymon grabbed Stingmon by the wrist. She lifted Stingmon off the ground, slamming him into the cement wall. The stone cracked under the force of the blow. Stingmon grunted in pain as Lillymon then threw him over her shoulder, and into a door. The door broke under Stingmon's weight as he went flying into the room.

"Ooohhh." Stingmon groaned as he got to his hands and knees. Before he knew it, he was lifted off his feet.

"Pathetic." Lillymon sighed. "Is that the best you can do?" Stingmon groaned, when all off a sudden his head shot up, headbutting Lillymon. "UH!" Lillymon stumbled back letting go of Stingmon. "That better?!" Stongmon brought his massive hand on the side of Lillymon's neck, sending her to the ground. Lillymon coughed. "Why you BUG!" Lillymon sweapt out with her foot, taking Stongmon off balance. Lillymon leapt on top of Stingmon, grappling with the massive instectiod. "Give it UP!" Lillymon growled as the two tumbled, each trying to get the advantage. "Never!" Stingmon replied back as he held on to Lillymon's wrists. Suddenly a blast of Dark energy smashed into the floor under him. "GAH!" Stingmon and Lillymon went flying apart. Izzy stood at the doorway, his red eyes burning, Lillymon and Stingmon faced him. "Stingmon and Lillymon. Problem?" "Just having a little fight. Care to join?" Lillymon smirked at the new arrival. Izzy looked from Stingmon to Lillymon, then back to Stingmon. "Not really, I am not in the mood for fighting." Izzy held out his hands pulsing with energy. "So your absolute surrender is appreciated."





Kari had walked into the room with where the rest of her friends were tied down in. Everyone called to her, but she simply walked to the wall, and promptly chained herself up.

"Kari, snap out of it!" TK shouted for the umpteenth time.

Kari blinked her eyes twice as she shook her eyes. "Wha.what happened?" She tried to clear her head, but it was like she was waking up from a deep sleep.

"You just chained yourself up!" Yolei replied in disbelief. Myotismon had chained her, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon up just recently. "What were you doing?"

"Oh don't blame her." Davis shook his head. "I did the same thing. It was that other Gatomon wasn't it?"

"What a clever boy? You figure that out all by yourself?" Alpha-Gatomon walked into the room, dragging an unconscious Gatomon behind her by the tail. "Just a little trick I do so well."

"Why you." Veemon shouted, but Alpha-Gatomon slapped him across the face with her tail as she walked by.

"Did I say you could talk?" Alpha-Gatomon chuckled as she chained up the just stirring Gatomon to the wall, even going so far to chain her tail up. Gatomon shook herself awake, the spires effects just leaving. "You do like being captured by me?" Alpha-Gatomon joked.

"Eyaugh!" Gatomon thrashed at her bounds, but they held fast.

"We always were the feisty one." Alpha-Gatomon walked into the next room, and placed Kari's D3 device with Yolei's, TK's and Davis'. She came out of the room. "Now, I have to go meet our true leader in the main lab. I just want to thank you all for making this possible." Alpha-Gatomon turned white with light, and her body began morphing. "Gatomon digivolve to.ANGEWOMON!" Angewomon smiled as she took form. "Be seeing you." She blew them a kiss as she left out the door.

Kari scowled, then she noticed Cody. The boy was chained up as well, but he had a bandaged head and was unconscious. "My god, what happened to Cody?"

Hawkmon shook his head. "This world's Cody is Delta. He attacked our Cody and won, and took his place back in Piedmon's funhouse. They brought the poor lad in moments ago. Delta-Cody nearly killed him."

Kari eyes flew wide with surprise. (That wasn't the real Cody I saw walking with Myotismon. No wonder Cody had his sword.) "I can't believe it." Kari gasped.

"That's how we were captured. He tricked us and got us all caught. Sorry." Yolei apologized.

"When I get my claws on that snake in the grass." Armadillomon looked over at Cody's slumped form. (How could I possibly mistake their Cody for mine?) Armadillomon thought. (He acted, talked, and behaved just like mine! But I should have known! I should have protected him!)

"Don't worry." Kari tried to sound hopeful looked around at all her friends chained up. "Ken and Izzy are still out there. We can count on both of them."

"At least one of them." Everyone turned and faced the door. Izzy was there, his eyes red and his black aura wrapped around him. Izzy walked in, carrying Ken and Wormon in each of his arms. Ken was unconscious, and Wormon looked like he took a bit of a beating as well.

Yolei still couldn't get used to this new side of Izzy. "What happened Izzy?"

"Ken tried to kill me." Izzy walked over to another set of chains. "He almost had me. It's a good thing you never told him I was Ladydevimon and Devimon's son. If he knew I had super powers he would have made sure to finish me with the first blow. Then I ran into Lillymon... I had to delete her."

"Sorry Izzy..." Kari looked away. Izzy revered life, digimon and human. Killing Lillymon, even after all she's did, would be hard on him. But izzy seemed to be handling it well. Not like he had much choice.

"I'm all right." Izzy replied as he grabbed Ken's hands. "I had no choice. I've had to change in this world. It... wasn't my first time killing."

"What are you doing?" Hawkmon inquired.

"I can't leave them untied. They might try something again." Izzy replied as he chained Ken up first and then Wormon. He attached a metal gag over Wormon's mouth, rendering his attacks useless. Izzy stood up after making sure Ken was securely tied. Every space was taken now, the digidestined chained to one wall, and their digimon to another. Izzy walked over to the chains holding Yolei and pulled. After a minute, he stopped. "I don't have the strength to break these manacles. I don't have the power I once did."

Yolei pointed to a door. "That must be a control room or something there. That's where they took our digivices."

Izzy nodded as he ran to the door. "I'll see if I can release you all. Be patient."

"Hurry, we don't know when the Council of Five will be back." TK shouted as Izzy disappeared behind the door.

Gatomon turned her head and started yelling at Wormon. "How could you?! You said we could trust you!"

"We were only trying to help." Wormon quietly replied, muffled by the steel gag over his mouth. Ken's digivice was taken from him by Izzy, to prevent his digi-evolution.

"How were you trying to help?!" Patamon squeaked. He had a metal gag on as well, rendering his boom bubble useless. "By secretly trying to kill Izzy?!"

"Ken didn't want you to know. Ken wanted to spare you." Wormon defended.

"Spare us? From what?" Veemon asked.

"You wouldn't have believed me." Ken rubbed his head as his world began to take shape around him. He stood up and tried to take a step, but found his leg chained to the ground, along with his arms. "But it doesn't matter now. We've lost."

"Our real friend Izzy still here, and trying to rescue us!" Kari replied. "And to think I trusted and believed you changed!"

"I did change. I truly wanted to spare you more grief than what was necessary." Ken sighed. "But I'm not the only one who has changed."

"What are you babbling about?" Armadillomon shouted, still furiously angry about Cody.

"I had a hunch Ladydevimon wasn't in charge. There where things that didn't make sense, such as the fact no one saw Ladydevimon in public. I believed someone else was running the show." Ken answered as he sat back on the ground.

"He's right." Everyone looked at TK. "Ladydevimon's merely a sophisticated program with no real form. But how did you know that? I only just found out."

"Deductive reasoning." Ken replied as he sat on the floor. "You told me Ladydevimon traveled back in time after you defeated her years ago."

"So?" Hawkmon asked.

"Think about it!" Ken slammed his fists on his ground. "The Council of Five had information about all of us, including me, Cody, Yolei, and Davis, as well as all of our digimon. Yet Ladydevimon never met us. And we never existed in this world."

There was stunned silence from the group as realization set in. "You.you're right." Davis stuttered. "How would Ladydevimon know to use Jun against me?"

"And Cody's grandfather against him?" Yolei looked down at the injured child, chained up as well.

"They knew about our D3 devices." TK choked.

"And how to block our organizers' signals so we couldn't talk to one another." Kari finished TK's thought.

"And why else would Ladydevimon put the digidestined on her Council of Five after we defeated her in the first time line?" Patamon shivered as he to realized.

"Me, Lillymon, Matt, Cody." Gatomon started to hyperventilated as she to realized she was fooled.

"And the Council of Five knew all about my spires and black spirals." Ken continued. "A computer genius who knew enough about my programming to duplicate them, even improve upon them. Someone who took over this worlds computers from the digital world so the humans would not be able to put up a fight, a genius equal to my own."

"But there is only one person who knows about us from the original time line." Kari started to shake.

"And there was one thing that convinced me completely." Ken continued speaking. "Shortly before my double died, he told Joe he couldn't kill the leader of the Council of Five. His last words were 'soulless red eyes'. I originally thought he was talking about Ladydevimon."

"But he wasn't." Everyone turned to the door of the control room. At first they thought Ken was standing there. The black outfit with the long cape had them confused for a second, as it was similar to the one Ken used to wear. However the trim was blood red, with spikes jetting from the shoulders. The gloves where red and black as well, jagged at the ends. A belt with a skull symbol rested on the waist. The outfit was scary enough, then they looked at the face. There were no glasses on this boy's face. Instead, red eyes stared at the group. Izzy slowly walked out of the control room, his footsteps echoing as a deafening silence filled the room. "He was talking about me." Izzy gestured to himself. "The true Digimon Emperor."

AUTHOR'S NOTE- Ta dah. I had this planned since chapter 1. I also have a pic of Evil Izzy, if you want it email at mrredrover@hotmail.com.

And there where lots of clues that Izzy had turned-

Izzy lied at the start, saying he killed Myotismon, and that Myotismon had killed Kari.

The fact the Bakemon who 'captured' Izzy where being careful.

Ladydevimon knew everything about Ken, Davis, Cody and Yolei, as well as the dark spirals thought she shoudln't have. The only person who did know both world like that was Izzy.

Why ths world's Ken couldn't kill the leader of the Council of Five, beacuse it was a human.

The statuea Ken and Kari found of the digidestined, the Izzy statue looked out of place.

Lillymon called Wargreymon one of the three most powerful people in the world. She was talking about Wargreymon, Cyberkabuterimon, and Izzy.



The next few chapters will be a mini series, explaining how Izzy became the new digimon Emperor, called Child of Shadows.
