DESTINY'S END

Chapter 60

Lies of The Chosen Ones



Now in the present.

"Prodigious, isn't it?" Izzy walked into the room. His cape flew behind him as he walked between the chained up members of the group. He just let the notion of him being this world's Digimon Emperor sink in. He turned off his power, appearing as a normal boy, but he was anything but. Izzy walked up to Ken first. "Like the outfit?" Izzy gestured to himself, the long cape with blood red trim and spikes on the shoulders. Black and red jagged gloves adorned his hands. "I admit I was inspired by your own fashion endeavors, but I added some of my own touches. I am more of a Digimon Emperor than you ever could dream to be. My uniform should reflect that as well."

Yolei spoke first. "That's why Ladydevimon always seemed to know what we're thinking!"

"That's how you knew we were at the school!" Yolei shouted angrily.

"And why you let yourself be captured by Phantomon!" Hawkmon shot Izzy an angry glare.

"And how Ladydevimon knew all about our digimon!" Davis yelled, struggling against his bounds.

"You lied to us since the school!" Patamon yelled, his metal gag muffling his voice. "That's why Myotismon was alive when you said he wasn't!"

"And this world's Gatomon as well!" Veemon agreed with Patamon. He was still angry at being fooled by Alpha-Gatomon.

"Along with my brother!" TK screamed at what his brother Matt had become.

"Ya used Cody's own grandfather against him!" Armadillomon thrashed at his bounds again. He looked over to Cody's motionless form, chained up against the wall, and scowled again. The spires mind warping effects would have hit him ten times over had this particular room made the black spires effects useless.

"That's how I found you!" Kari gasped. "You wanted me to find you in that cell!"

"And why Tentomon showed up here!" Gatomon scowled. "You turned Tentomon into that.that.creature Cyberkabuterimon!"

"Yes, yes that was proficient wasn't it?" Izzy dismissed the questions with a wave of his hand. "This was too elementary. I mean, could you possibly be any more predictable?" Izzy laughed. "I am amazed how any of you managed to survive in the first time line, you're so easily fooled."

"You didn't fool me." Ken coldy replied.

Izzy turned and faced Ken. "Yes, I made the mistake of assuming you were as gullible as the rest of these imbeciles. When I first heard you came to this world, I though you would make an excellent servant to me. You were cold, manipulative, and ruthless in you applications. You reminded me of me." Izzy stared into Ken's eyes, his own eyes turning red. "But you are far too clever for your own good."

"I'm glad I saw you face to face." Ken didn't flinch as he looked at Izzy. "Only now I can see what a monster I truly was."

Izzy scowled slightly, but it was quickly gone as his eyes turned back to normal. "I'm gratified you feel this way. Then you won't mind if I released this world of a monster." Izzy gave an Ken a dark smile.

"Izzy you can't!" Kari screamed.

"I've done worse." Izzy turned away from Ken and to Kari. "He and his digimon are too dangerous to be allowed to live. Had you informed him of my Devimon/Ladydevimon lineage, he would have made sure to kill me with the first blow. They will be publicly executed in order to make an example to anybody who would dare defy me." Izzy turned back to Ken. "This world's Ken robbed me of an execution. You'll more than make up for that."

"So what do you have planned for us?" Davis growled.

"Well, to be perfectly honest I haven't decided yet for you digidestined. Executions?" Izzy looked at the scared faces. "It would be wise, but I hardly see any need, you mean nothing to me. Maybe slaves, but I doubt you'd be smart enough to even accomplish that. Or maybe I'll simply let you go. Run through the streets, crying Izzy is the Digimon Emperor!" Izzy chuckled. "I doubt you'd last a month without your digimon protectors. Your predecessors from this world didn't endure, with the exception of TK, who I spared, and Cody. The lad truly is a survivor. I chose well adding him to my Council of Five." Izzy walked over to Cody's chained up from, motionless and bandaged. "He's even a superior sword master than your Cody."

Izzy walked over to Kari chained form. He stared intently on her for a few seconds, then placed a hand on her cheek, tenderly, like a mother touching a sick child. "And then there is you my dear Kari." Kari was to surprised to do anything, but Davis and TK both screamed at him. Izzy took no notice of the boys' anger as he brushed Kari's hair back. "But I have special plans for you, Kari. You should consider yourself lucky. If it wasn't for you, I merely would have killed you all on sight." Izzy grabbed the chains as his black aura wrapped around his body.

"How could you be our Izzy?" Kari asked, trying to wipe her lips.

"I'm not. You should have realized that." Izzy answered as he snapped the metal rings. The chains suddenly came off Kari and she fell forward, surprised by the lack of weight. She tried to run, but Izzy simply grabbed her.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" TK and Davis shouted together.

"Actually, no." Izzy dragged Kari out of the room, leaving the Council of Five with the chained up digidestined.



Kari was struggling, but in vain as Izzy threw her onto the laboratory floor. She looked up, Palmon, Angewomon, Myotismon, Matt and Cody all stood in front of her.

"I must thank my Council for a fine job." Izzy motioned to the five members in front of him, turning off his powers. "The rebellion is crushed , all my enemies captured or dead. This is truly a day for celebration."

"Izzy is the true leader of the Council of Five?" Cody looked at Izzy in amazement.

"Told you you'd be surprised." Palmon smirked.

"It's true." Ladydevimon flashed on a screen behind Izzy. "I am merely the face the populace fears. Izzy is the true power."

"So everyone has been discovering." Izzy smiled. "Lock her in the chamber immediately."

"Cody?" Kari looked at Cody, standing with the other council members. His appearance shocked her as much as Izzy's did.

"Delta, Kari." Cody went up to Kari. "You were so easy to fool, I don't know why Izzy even bothered with the effort." Cody suddenly smack Kari on her butt hard. Kari instinctively slapped Cody across the face with her free arm. Cody smiled as he rubbed his cheek. "She's got some spirit, maybe that's why he decided to spare you."

Izzy ripped off Kari's back pack. "No, that's just one of the side benefits." Izzy grabbed Kari and shoved her into Myotismon. Izzy waved Kari's backpack at the girl. "You won't be needing this."

Kari was about to shout at Izzy, when Myotismon clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her to another room. Myotismon walked over to a small plastic dome, and placed Kari inside. Kari slammed her fist into the side of the plastic walls, but no one could hear her through the sound-proof room.

"So how did you know my name Delta?" Izzy asked Cody. "We've never had the pleasure of meeting, and I don't think any of the Council of Five members who knew about me would have revealed my secret."

"It wasn't too hard. The other digidestined were talking about this child Izzy with powers and who remembered the first time line. I saw you come in here with red eyes and a black energy around you. I just put two and two together." Cody smiled.

"You are a clever child. So why did you kill Alpha and take their Cody's place? Neither I nor Ladydevimon ordered that." Izzy looked over Cody threateningly.

"Alpha was going to kill their Cody, against your orders. I had no choice. I don't think he would have stopped had I asked politely." Cody shrugged. "I had to take their Cody's place so they wouldn't get suspicious, and I figured it would put me in a good position to help your forces."

Izzy laughed. "I knew I made a wise choice making you the new Delta."

Cody smirked. "Thank you."

"Now as for the rest of our guests," Izzy went on. "The humans are mine, I haven't quite decided their fate." Izzy looked at Matt. He could tell Matt wanted to say something, but was trying to find the words. "Don't worry Gamma, I'll spare this TK's life as well. He's of no threat. As for the digimon, we have five digimon, and five council members. Feel free to take a new slave home."

The other four council members thanked Izzy before returning back to the digidestined, except for Angewomon, who turned her head as she left. "So, you were in charge all along, not Ladydevimon?"

"Precisely." Izzy nodded.

"That same child Izzy I saw being dragged through our lair by chains, that I had given up for dead." Angewomon shook her head.

"That was the plan." Izzy affirmed.

"So that's why you promoted that Demidevimon creature above me." Angewomon placed a hand on Izzy's shoulder. "Had I known you were so powerful I never would have been so rude."

"There were other reasons as well." Izzy smiled. "But I saw I was mistaken."

"If I may be so bold, what where the other reasons?" Angewomon asked. "I was loyal to Myotismon, and hence I was loyal to you. So why did you not trust me?"

"If you wish to know, you were a chosen digimon. Partnered to a digidestined." Izzy replied to his new Alpha.

"Just like this other Gatomon, right?" Angewomon snickered a little. "No wonder. And let me guess my partner was?"

"That girl you killed five years ago." Izzy answered, remembering the scence all those years ago.

Angewomon stood silent for a second. "So that is why I had to kill her. To make sure that I would never fulfill my destiny." Angewomon began to advance on Izzy. "I would have been some noble hero, laying down my life like that other Gatomon." Angewomon looked down at Izzy. "You made sure none of that never happened." Angewomon suddenly broke into an evil smile, which seemed wrong on her angelic face. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Izzy smiled back. He knew Angewomon wasn't going to be angry for that. She was nothing like the good Gatomon. Besides, he could take her easily. "You better hurry up and join the other Council of Five members, before one decides to help him or herself to your slave. I have other projects to attend."

Angewomon smiled at Izzy and traced a finger up his chin. "Thank you." Angewomon began to walk out. "Oh and if you need me to prove my loyalties again, I'll be happy to kill this new Kari." Angewomon began to walk down the hall.

"Noted." Emperor Izzy laughed as he went to his own work.



Angewomon walked into the room after the chained down digidestined and digimon. The other Council of Five members where already there, picking out their new digimon slaves.

Myotismon was over at Gatomon. "It was a shame losing my Gatomon, but now I have another."

"I will never serve you!" Gatomon determinedly replied.

"I almost forgot those eyes, I look forward to ridding them of disobedience." Myotismon said, grabbing a tuff of fur as he pulled her cheek. "I did it once, and I will do it again."

"Dibs on Veemon!" Palmon ran up to Veemon, and wrapped her arms around Veemon in a hug.

"Get off me!" Veemon replied, trying to shrug off her touch.

"Veemon, Exveemon, Flamedramon, Raidramon." Palmon moved her mouth close to Veemon's ear. "It's like getting four slaves for the price of one." Veemon just growled.

Cody smiled as he rested his sword on his shoulder as he looked over Armadillomon. "Well, my choice is obvious." Cody bent down. "I'm looking forward to trying out your Submerimon form in the ocean again."

Armadillomon looked over at the injured Cody chained up next to Yolei, then back at the Cody staring over him. "I just want you to know the Cody from my time line is ten times the Cody from this time line is."

"You're entitled to your opinion." Cody answered. "I can't wait to see you digi-armor energize."

"You were a good protector of my brother." Matt went over to Patamon. "You should have no problem serving me."

"I protect TK, not you!" Patamon squeaked.

"Izzy said he'd spare TK's life for me, and as long as I'm alive, he'll be safe. You have no choice but to protect me." Matt coldly replied.

"Looks like your all that's left." Angewomon bent down over Hawkmon, and flicked the feather in his band. "Not that I'm complaining. Cats just love birds."

"Be gone shrew!" Hawkmon moved his head away.

"Now don't be mean. It's a good thing I love that accent." Angewomon replied. "Besides, a bird should know not to tick off a cat."

"Ooohhhh." Yolei looked next to her. Cody was finally started to stir.

"Cody, be still, you're hurt." Yolei looked over to Cody.

"Well looks who's awake?" Myotismon turned to face Cody.

"Who gets to tell him Izzy's in charge?" Palmon coyly asked.

The chained Cody blinked his eyes, focusing on Yolei beside him. "Cody, you were hurt, and we've been captured. How are.."

Cody's face suddenly filled with anger and he turned to face the Council. "What the hell are you IDIOTS doing?!" He shouted.

"Boy. This child has some teeth." Angewomon replied. "You should show some respect."

"You morons! Unchain me!" Cody shrugged against his chains. "NOW!"

"What on earth for?" Matt replied. He seemed unusually angry, especially considering their Cody was supposed to be a pacifist.

Cody looked across the room, and he got even angrier as he focused on the other Cody. "That's not Delta! I am!"

The room was silent for a moment, then Myotismon broke into laughter. "That is a good one! It was a nice try, I'll admit." Myotismon gestured to Cody beside him. "Our Cody is right here." Myotismon laughed harder, until he suddenly stopped. He looked to his side, and found his entire torso gashed, Cody holding his bloody sword back for another attack. Now the pain registered as Myotismon crumbled to his knees, clutching his deep wound. Cody executed another slashing attack to Myotismon's neck. Myotismon had just enough strength to partly deflect the blade, but still felt the Digizoidium sword go halfway through his neck. Myotismon crumbled to the ground mortally wounded, crimson blood spilling on to the floor.

All eyes where on Cody, holding his sword in a defensive stance. "Just one little problem. He was telling the truth."
