"Kindness is released from the Golden Radiance"
I was asked to make a sequel to 'The Emperor's Queen' and here I deliver it. dedicated to Silver, I hope this was good enough. Please enjoy and review!
A few weeks had gone by since the Digidestinds had found out that Daisuke had lost her memories and was with the Emperor and they were planning on storming the Emperor's lair to save her.
What they didn't know was that during Ken and Daisuke's…loving escapades the girl's dark ring that kept her memories locked away was shattered when it hit something, giving her her memories back, but stayed with the Emperor since in time she had fallen in love with him when he showed his true self.
Ken wasn't as cruel as he used to be, he was becoming kinder as time passed on.
Veemon and Wormmon were sitting down on either side of the throne that had their partners in it, the young Queen in the Emperor's lap.
They were watching the monitors to see what was going on in their kingdom.
There was a knock at the doors, making Ken look over.
"Come in." he called.
The doors slid open to reveal a Vegiemon with no dark ring on him walking in with a tray of food.
"Lunch is served!" he said hopping over to them with the food.
"Thanks, Vegiemon." Daisuke said as she and the three other males took their lunch which consisted of chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and a mixture of vegetables.
"My pleasure, my Queen. Emperor." Vegiemon said as he bowed to them with a smile and left the room.
Veemon started eating his own food, the dark ring he wore before gone and replaced by a fake after Daisuke removed it and told both him and Wormmon about how she felt better with staying in the Digital World as Ken's lover.
The dragon accepted that and Wormmon made a plastic dark ring that had zero effect on him so that Ken still thought he was under the control, as well as one for Daisuke.
They hated keeping this from Ken, but it was needed until they felt it was time.
The monitors started beeping making them all look up to see that the Digidestinds, the entire second generation along with Tai, Matt, Izzy and Sora were there in an area close to them.
"What are those fools doing here?" Ken hissed at the sight of them.
"I don't know, but they're screwed when we're done with them." Daisuke said standing.
Ken smiled at her, admiring her black camisole, black fingerless gloves that reached her elbows, black skin tight pants that were easy to move in and leather boots.
Sadly, she also still had her goggles around her neck.
"I'm up for it." Veemon said standing up.
"We should eat first. We can't go into battle with our enemies on an empty stomach, after all." Wormmon said.
The three others nodded as they sat back down and finished up their lunch.
(With the Digidestinds…)
"I can't believe Ken really did this. How could he be so cruel?" Sora asked as she and the others walked to where they got Daisuke's signal.
"He must've figured that with Daisuke he would have an advantage against us." Matt said.
The group were nearing the faint signal they had, Kari staring desperately at the blinking blue dot that proved that Daisuke was in that vicinity.
She felt just awful after teasing the girl for her freak out and that she had forgotten about Daisuke's phobia even though the child of Light and her brother had witnessed the freak out before.
"We'll save her, don't worry." Izzy said.
"You guys should have had her back. I can't believe you guys would even let her get kidnapped so easily." Tai said feeling angered.
"It wasn't our fault. If anything, it was Daisuke's. She's the one who is always screwing up anyway." Yolei said turning up her nose.
"Oh, am I?" a female voice spoke sounding amused.
They all froze in their steps and soon enough flames rained down from the sky, making them all run to avoid getting hit.
"What was that?" Tai asked.
"Look!" TK cried pointing up to the sky.
Airdramon was there with the Digimon Emperor standing on his head with an evil grin while his arm was wrapped around his Queen's waist and she had a smug grin on her lips.
Wormmon was in her arms while Flamedramon jumped up from over Airdramon, landing on the ground in front of the Digidestinds.
"Daisuke!" Tai cried running up to the dragon looking relieved, but Flamedramon sent out a warning blast at his feet making him stumble back.
"You really need to learn to not trespass in our gardens. It's quite rude." Ken said.
"Ken, what did you do to Daisuke? She would never join the likes of you!" TK yelled as Patamon sat on his head, the two glaring up at him.
"I didn't do anything. My Dai-chan just chose to join me because she wanted to. Isn't that right?" Ken asked kissing the girl's cheek.
Yolei's eyes were wide at the sight as she felt anger at the fact that the guy she once liked was being so affectionate with another girl, one who was supposed to be her friend.
She felt burning rage fill her as Daisuke giggled and leaned her head on Ken's shoulder.
"DIGI ARMOUR ENERGIZE!" Yolei cried.
"What're you doing?" Matt asked.
"Hawkmon armour digivolve too…Shurimon: the Samurai of Sincerity!"
"Weren't expecting that, were you?" Yolei taunted with a smirk.
Daisuke kept her face blank as she pulled away from Ken and jumped off of Airdramon, surprising everyone.
Wormmon shot out a silk thread from his mouth, and it attached its self to the Airdramon, preventing the two from hurting themselves.
They swung down from the makeshift rope and landed on the ground beside the dragon who was in a glaring match with Shurimon.
"The real question here is; were you?" Daisuke asked as she pulled out her D-3.
Flamedramon glowed orange as he turned back into Veemon, then awaited his partner's orders.
"DIGI ARMOUR ENERGIZE!" Daisuke called.
"Veemon armour digivolve too…Raidramon: the Storm of Friendship!"
"Friendship?" Matt asked stunned.
"Daisuke has a second armour digi egg too?" Izzy asked.
After Ken and Daisuke had their first night of love making, they found the digi egg just sitting in a crater and the girl felt drawn to it, so she walked over and picked it up.
The black clad girl mounted her dragon, ready to start the fighting off.
She hated having to fight her friends, but after what they had done to her, they deserved to be taught a lesson.
"You should know better than to mess with us by now. We just keep getting stronger." Ken said.
Raidramon then blasted Shurimon with blue lightning, making the ninja cry out in pain and shock as Yolei looked horrified.
"Let's help out." TK said holding up his D-3, but gasped as webbing was spat at his hand and knocked the device out of his hand.
He looked over to where Wormmon was.
"I'm sorry, but I won't let you hurt the Queen. She's really nice and makes Ken act like he used to before the darkness consumed him. We need her more than you because she helps him understand love and compassion." He said.
"What does that mean?" Gatomon asked.
Patamon then used his Boom Bubble on the caterpillar, but Raidramon was at his friend's side, blocking the attack that did zero damage.
"Daisuke, wait! Don't you remember us at all?" Sora called not wanting this violence to go on.
Ken felt smug knowing that the answer was no.
His beautiful lover didn't remember a single thing about them and wouldn't be swayed to return to them after all of the negative things about the Digidestinds he had placed in her head.
To his surprise, however, Daisuke jumped off of her dragon's back and looked at the group with great sadness.
"Yeah, I do remember you. That's the problem." She said.
"What?" Ken asked eyes widening in shock.
How could she have remembered?
He made sure that the dark ring wouldn't allow it.
Oh no, he was going to lose her now.
The darkness he had felt slipping away from him was now rushing back.
"It doesn't matter if I remember you or not. I love Ken and I'm staying with him." Daisuke said turning her back on them all.
The Emperor felt relieved and also nearly passed out from it.
So she wasn't going to leave him.
Her words then registered in his mind and his cheeks burned in a pretty blush.
She had just admitted to her former friends that she was in love with him after all.
The child of Courage and Friendship had told him this many times, but this was the first time she said it in front of anyone else.
Smiling gently, he jumped down from off of Airdramon, Raidramon catching him and he slid off the dragon's back with a nod of thanks before the human male walked over to Daisuke and pulled her into his chest.
"And I love her in return." He said removing his visor, shocking everyone to see those cold blue eyes of his were now a glorious bright blue mixed with lavender.
Daisuke smiled up at him and she hugged him back, then looked over to her friends, seeing half of them were shocked and some were angry.
"WHAT?!" Tai and Yolei screamed.
"No way! You are way too young to have a boyfriend or be in love! Over my freaking dead body." The child of Courage ranted as his protective instincts kicked in.
"How dare you! You knew how I felt about him, Daisuke. You little bitch, how could you?" the lavender haired girl ranted.
Kari walked over to the girl and promptly bitch slapped her across the face, shocking just about everyone there.
Her cherry colored eyes were filled with a silent rage at Yolei for saying those things to a friend and she turned to Daisuke with a smile.
"I'm really happy for you, Daisuke. I'm sorry about what happened before. I just…can't believe I forgot all about your being claustrophobic. I should have remembered and helped you instead of laughing with the others when you were beginning to have a panic attack." Kari said with tears in her eyes.
Tai and Sora's eyes widened in shock at that since they too had witnessed the girl's panic attack from her first claustrophobic moment…the day she found out she even had a phobia.
"What happened exactly?" Izzy asked the group of younger kids who looked distressed.
"I'll tell you." Ken spoke up.
"While Dai-chan was stuck in a hole screaming in terror, these pathetic, so called friends and teammates of hers just brushed it off as her putting on an act for attention. Even I wouldn't go that far in being cruel." He said kissing the top of his lover's head as she buried her face in his chest.
The four older Digidestinds turned to the younger with accusing and disappointed looks.
Cody looked down in shame.
He was supposed to be the new child of Reliability and yet he wasn't able to be there for one of his friends to help them out during her time of need.
TK felt awful as well since he was never really that nice to Daisuke and always gave her hard time.
He really screwed things up with her and hoped that there was a chance that she would forgive him, but was starting to even doubt that it would happen.
Yolei wasn't very sure of what to feel since a part of her was still mad, but she knew that she had no right to bed since she was the real bitch in this situation.
"If you'll excuse us, we have more important matters to deal with." Ken said making everyone look at him as he, Daisuke, Raidramon and Wormmon were back up onto Airdramon's head.
"Daisuke!" Kari cried as she and Gatomon went to chase after them, but Wormmon spat his Sticky Net at them, trapping the cat.
"See ya, guys! Tell my family I'm OK…if they give a fuck." Daisuke said as she cuddled up into her lover's side.
The Digidestinds watched as they disappeared from sight and Daisuke's signal got even weaker, meaning the base must be moving away from them.
"What do we do now?" Sora asked.
"And what Wormmon mean before?" Patamon asked.
"Hey, did you guys notice that there have been less control spires around these days? It's almost like Ken's been losing interest in making them." Izzy said.
"Why is that?" Yolei asked.
"Perhaps it's because of Daisuke. She could be a positive influence on him, turning him into a kind person." Hawkmon said.
"Could that really be it?" Matt asked.
"We can only hope." Tai said as he gazed up to the sky.
Back at the base, Daisuke giggled as she was thrown onto the soft bed, Ken following after her as they both kissed.
"Did you really mean what you said? I would have thought for sure that when you got your memories back you would hate me and return to your friends." He said resting his forehead on hers.
"I would never do that. I'm not leaving you because if I did then I would just be giving up on any chance of you becoming your true self." She said kissing his chin.
"My true self?" Ken asked pulling away from her.
Daisuke frowned as she grew worried about him and sat up.
"Ken-kun?" she asked placing a hand on his chest.
Suddenly, a feeling of sickness overtook him making him jump up and run off to somewhere in the base.
Worried, Daisuke ran after him, both running past their partners who watched them in confusion.
Ken felt fear filling him as he ran to the control room of the base, feeling the sickness grow as he went.
Memories of a world filled with darkness came to him, the feelings of fear and anger and depression filling him.
He was soon in the control room, collapsing as he looked up to see the black energy source he had found was starting to glow a bit.
"Ken!" Daisuke's voice called.
He watched as the object started to peel away the black, revealing more gold as his lover's footsteps got closer to him.
By the time she got there, she dropped to her knees beside Ken and pulled him into her arms, his eyes still on the source as it was pure gold now.
"Ken, why did you run away? What happened there?" she asked.
The glowing gold lights made her look up to see the source and gasped in amazement.
The object lifted up off of the podium it was on and went into her hands and it transformed into two different pendants.
One was amethyst and the other was gold, both having different symbols on them.
"What are tehse?" Daisuke asked.
Ken reached up and took the amethyst one and placed it around him neck as he stared meaningfully down at it.
"It's my…Crest. The Crest of Kindness." He said softly.
He then groaned as his body convulsed, Daisuke wrapping her arms around him as he started screaming in pain.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
The boy didn't answer as he then vomited out this horrid black junk, that moved like it was alive.
Ken's Emperor outfit dissolved into data, turning him back to normal before they watched as the black junk transformed right before them into a creature that looked like a vampire.
"Who the hell are you?" Daisuke asked glaring up at him.
"My, aren't you a slow one. I am Myotismon, the true ruler of Darkness." He said.
"Now, Digidestinds, it's time to end both of you." He said.
The two gasped as they both got up, running for the exit as the base started giving off explosions from the inside, Myotismon chasing after them as he used a red whip made of lightning at them.
Wormmon and Veemon came running into the room, both looking horrified as they saw the vampire attacking their humans.
The base was slowly self-destructing, so the two made sure the rest of the digimon in the base had escaped before they went to find their partners.
"Daisuke!" Veemon cried.
"Ken!" Wormmon called.
They both were then covered in light as they transformed into larger versions of themselves.
"Wormmon…"
"Veemon…"
"Digivolve too…"
"STINGMON!"
"EX-VEEMON!"
The two Champions charged at Myotismon, catching him off guard as they both punched him back.
"What the-"Daisuke cut herself off as she and Ken stopped running to watch.
"He did it. He finally digivolved." Ken said in awe.
"It won't save you yet!" Myotismon laughed as he grabbed Stingmon by his ankle and threw him into Ex-Veemon, both of them getting sent back into the energy room.
"Oh no!" Daisuke cried clutching the Crest she was holding.
"How do we do beat this guy?" she asked wanting to defeat this monster for all of the terrible things he's done to Ken and the innocent digimon.
"We have to try. We need to do something." Ken said clutching at his Crest.
"You won't do it. This all ends here." Myotismon snapped looking over at him.
He then used his Crimson Lighting, but the dragon and bug got back up, picking up their partners and flying up out of the way, as well as throwing down their own attacks at him.
"How do we take him out?" Daisuke asked.
"He's not up to his full power yet. We still have a chance to destroy him." Stingmon said.
"But we need to do it now." Ex-Veemon said.
"How can we get enough power to do that?" Ken asked.
"The Crests of Kindness and Miracles. It's the only way." Stingmon said.
"The whats of what now?" the newly dubbed child of Miracles asked.
The vampire got back up and sent out a swarm of bats at them, but the two Champions used their attacks to block it.
"Believe!" Ex-Veemon yelled.
Ken and Daisuke looked at each other, sharing a deep emotion as their reached out and held hands and their Crests both glowed brightly.
"NO!" Myotismon yelled as he charged at them.
Amethyst and gold lights pushed him back and the two pillars blasted the roof off of the base.
With the Digidestinds, they all saw the lights and became intrigued by it, so they began running off towards it to see what was happening.
"Stingmon digivolve too…DINOBEEMON!"
"Ex-Veemon digivolve too…AEROVEEDRAMON!"
The two Ulimates flew up into the air, Dinobeemon having hold of Myotismon as he threw him down into the sandy area just as the Digidestinds came to see what was happening, all of them shocked to see what was going on.
"Myotismon, you were the one who captured Ken and turned him into the Digimon Emperor, guiding him to do all of these evil crimes." Dinobeemon said as his partner was on his back.
"It's time for you to pay the price for your crimes once and for all." AeroVeedramon said with his own partner on his back.
The two Ultimates combined their attacks and sent them out at Myotismon, making him cry out in pain as he was destroyed once and for all, never to return.
After a silence descended upon the group as Dinobeemon and AeroVeedramon both swooped down to the ground, Daisuke and Ken jumping off of them as the two digimon reverted far back into their Fresh levels looking worn out.
"Leafmon! Oh, are you all right?" the child of Kindness asked as he gathered up his partner in his arms.
"I'm fine, Ken. I'm just so happy you're you again." Leafmon said.
"All those things I've done…I'm so sorry I was such a monster!" Ken cried as he hugged his partner.
"Don't cry. It wasn't your fault. It was all Myotismon. He used you." Leafmon said.
"Daisuke, look. I'm Chibomon now. You should really go there and help Ken feel better. He needs you now more than ever." The blue baby digimon said.
"You're right." Daisuke smiled as she picked up her partner and walked over to her lover.
She kneeled down by him and hugged Ken, wanting to comfort him the best she could.
"Just what the fuck happened?" Tai asked.
After it was explained what had happened, Daisuke and Ken went back home to their families, who were worried to death about them.
Jun cursed out her sister for scaring her like that for an hour before she hugged her tightly.
Ken was then made a part of the Digidestind team, everyone accepting him and his relationship with Daisuke, even though Tai still had his moments where he was a bit too protective over the girl.
The Ichijoujis welcomed Daisuke when they first met her and were just happy that their son was safe with a sweet girlfriend.
At the present moment in time, Demiveemon and Minomon were in a tickle match on the couch of the Ichijouji home while Ken and Daisuke watched TV next to them, cuddled up.
It had been three months since the defeat of Myotismon and the Digital World was back to normal, Ken's redemption finally being met.
"So what are we doing tonight?" the child of Miracles asked.
"I was hoping that we could just stay in tonight. I really want to spend some time with you." Ken said giving the kicked puppy look.
"Fine." Daisuke laughed as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Let's make brownies!" Demiveemon said.
"Yeah, that sounds great. It wold be a wonderful treat to have for a movie night." Minomon said.
"We'll get fat if we eat too many sweets." Ken said.
"Then we'll just have to do…jumping jacks!" the larva said as he started jumping, Demiveemon doing the same.
"Come on, feel the burn!" Minomon giggled with his dragon.
The couple watched them, then laughed at them in amusement.
Things were better now and soon enough they got better when they grew up and had children of their own, a daughter named Mina that had her father's appearance and a Minomon as her partner and a son named Kira that had his mother's looks and was partnered to a Demiveemon.
The end.
