"Embracing the Darkness"
Please enjoy and review! By the way, 'buio' means dark in Italian.
Inside of her bedroom was Daisuke Motomiya and she was crying her eyes out from the pain she had endured, emotional pain that is.
Back at school she had been late to another meeting because the guidance counselor needed to talk to her about working on her grades or at least getting a tutor to help her out.
By the time Daisuke had gotten to the computer lab, she was five minutes late and was about to enter it when a voice stopped her.
"Arg! Where is she already?!" Yolei yelled.
"Calm down." Poromon said.
Curious as to what was going on, Daisuke leaned closer to the door to listen in on what was going on.
"I mean, this is so typical of her. She's always late and has these stupid excuses for being late. 'I got detentions'. 'The teacher needed to see me'. Oh please! She's so pathetic!" Yolei ragged.
Daisuke was shaking in anger at this because those 'excuses' of hers were real things that she didn't make up and besides, Yolei was late a lot too.
"I wonder what could be keeping her this time." Kari said.
"Maybe she tripped over her own shoe laces." TK suggested in a joking tone.
This made the mahogany haired girl grind her teeth at this.
That no good jerk!
Chibimon was also listening in on what they were saying from her partner's shoulder and she wasn't too happy about this.
"Well, at least we get to eat before Chibimon gets here. You know she'll eat everything in sight." Patamon said while the other digimon giggled.
The blue dragon felt tears prick at her pink eyes from what had been said.
How could they make fun of her?
"They're both screw ups. Daisuke and Chibimon. What's the point in even having them around?" Yolei asked.
"They're strong. We need them with us to defeat the Digimon Emperor." Poromon said.
"But they're so dumb!" Yolei shrieked.
"Well, it is true that they aren't very bright." Cody said.
"At least it's never a dull moment with them around and we can always get a good laugh out of it." Kari said.
The entire group of digimon and humans laughed at the expanse of their leaders, not even knowing the great grief they had bestowed upon the girl and her dragon.
Backing away from the door, Daisuke tore off out of the school, clutching a sobbing Chibimon to her breasts to try and comfort her until they were safe in her room.
As she ran, she ran right passed Matt and Tai who were a bit confused when they saw the sobbing dragon and the girl with tears beginning to fall down her face.
And so this is what brought to the duo of Courage and Friendship of being locked up inside of their room, both hugging each other as they cried out their sorrow of being bashed by their friends.
"Da-Daisuke…why would they s-say that stuff?" Chibimon cried as she tried to dry her tears.
"I don't know. I-I thought…they were our friends. Maybe we were wrong." Daisuke sniffled as she covered her face with her hands.
They couldn't return to the Digidestinds now, couldn't just fake a smile for them all and pretend nothing had ever happened.
"What do we do now?" Chibimon asked.
"I don't know. I just don't know." Daisuke said as she shook her head.
Her friends didn't care for her and the same could be said for Chibimon's friends.
What did the older generation and their partners think of them?
Did any of them even care about them or did they just put up with them because they were the most powerful out of the group.
She had even almost given herself to the Digimon Emperor to be his Queen to free them from being Deltamon's dinner, even if they weren't really in danger and it was the Bakemon masquerading as them, she still thought it was her friends and nearly gave herself up to be the Emperor's Queen just to see them get away safely.
Just then, Daisuke's D-3 beeped and she checked it to see what was going on.
"Daisuke, what is it?" Chibimon asked.
"I don't know." Daisuke said.
Her D-3 gave off a bright light as they seemed to be fading away from their world and appeared in another one that they didn't even recognize.
The duo looked around in shock at the sight of the world that looked to be night with the stars and moon up in the sky while the trees looked like those from a horror movie and there was a chilled wind blowing around them.
"Where are we?" Chibimon asked.
"I don't know." Daisuke said.
Her D-3 was beeping and she looked at it to find a signal on it, so she frowned and started to follow it.
"Come on, let's go find out." She said.
The two walked on down the path of the forest, the world looking more and more like that of a horror movie as they went on.
Finally, they came to a cave where there was moss glowing on the inside of the walls, the duo venturing in to see wait awaited them.
"What's that?" Chibimon asked.
At the end of the cave was a bronze podium that had an object on it that looked like a woman with her knees drawn up to her chest as her head was bent over her knees and her skin was blue with black wings folded over her body while on her back was a mark they didn't know.
It looked to be a star that was upside down and had a small circle inside of it.
"It looks like a digi egg." Daisuke said.
"But who does it belong to and why would it be in this creepy place?" she asked.
"Maybe it belongs to you. After all, you were brought here." Chibimon said.
"Yeah, but…" Daisuke trailed off as she looked at the egg.
Just what she needed; to become even more powerful to make the others want to keep her at their sides while everyone insulted her from behind her back and hurt Chibimon too.
She then looked at the digi egg with a determined look as she walked over to it.
"If this is my digi egg, then I swear I won't let those jerks use us. We don't need anyone who only keeps us around for our power, who don't really care for us." She swore.
"Right. We deserve more than them." Chibimon agreed with her tiny fists clenched.
With that vow done, Daisuke placed her hands on the cold digi egg that warmed from her touch, as if to welcome her and she then pulled it off of the podium.
When the egg was removed, dark blue light covered them both and they soon found themselves in the Digital World, V-Mon now in her Rookie form and Daisuke in her Digi-Outfit.
"Now what do we do?" V-Mon asked.
Before Daisuke could answer, the sound of fighting made them look off to where it was coming from and they rushed over to find that the Digidestinds were fighting against Ken who had sent a group of DarkTyrannomon after them and they were starting to lose.
Sighing, the duo ran over to help them out.
"Hey, guys!" Daisuke called.
"We made it!" V-Mon said.
The group all looked over at them, even Ken and Worrmon from their safety place on top of Airdramon.
"What took you so long?" Kari asked.
"We were getting creamed out here!" Yolei yelled.
Matt and Tai ran over as well, the blonde spotting the new object.
"Daisuke, what is that thing?" he asked.
"This is a new digi egg." Daisuke said as she held it up to show it off.
"Where did you find it?" Tai asked.
"In a cave." Daisuke said.
"Are we done with pleasantries?" Ken asked making everyone look up to him.
It was odd how attractive he looked even when he was in his Emperor garb ready to make their lives miserable and hurt them all.
"Because I have a Digital World to take over." Ken said.
"Now would be a good time as any to use that egg, Daisuke." TK said.
She gave him a cold look which made him back off.
"You really need my help? I thought I was dumb and pathetic." She said.
Yolei, Cody, Kari and TK all froze at this while the digimon looked at V-Mon who was glaring at them harshly.
"What is going on?" Tai asked since he was unaware of what had transpired between them all.
"Why don't you ask them or how about you explain to me why you made me leader because they and I don't understand why." Daisuke said as she rounded on the former leader.
"What? Daisuke, I chose you because you have the digi egg of Courage." Tai said.
"…That's it?" she asked.
Everyone stared at Tai, Agumon especially.
"Well…yeah." Tai said weakly as Daisuke and V-Mon both gave him a look of disbelief.
Ken winced as he knew the wild haired male had said the wrong thing.
The reason why Ken wanted her as his Queen was because of her beauty, courage, determination and he was very sure she would be a wonderful girlfriend.
"Just as I thought. They don't understand how important you truly are." The Emperor said.
Kari looked up at him in worry while Yolei glared at Daisuke as she seemed to be thinking things over.
"No, they do and that's the problem." Daisuke said sadly as everyone stared at her.
"What are you talking about?" Matt asked.
"I heard them say that the only reason they kept me around was because of our power." She said.
"We heard them all insulting us. Don't try to deny it." V-Mon said.
Tai looked around the group as he saw that they all were trying to avoid his eyes while Matt was trying to meet TK's eyes, but he was looking away from his brother.
Turning away from her so called friends, Daisuke held up her new digi egg.
"You want to see my power so bad, then fine. Here it is." She said.
The digi egg then gave off a sapphire blue light that shone brightly around them, making those who hurt her back off as if the light were alive and was pushing them away.
"DIGI ARMOUR ENERGIZE!"
"V-Mon armour digivolve to…"
Flames and sparks came around her as the images of Fladramon and Raidramon passed over her as her body grew into that of a woman with long black hair, blue skin, three horns on the sides of her head, pink eyes that had yellow V markings under them, talons where nails should be, she had dragon legs while she wore leather bike shorts and a leather top that exposed her stomach that had the star mark on that looked like a tattoo and finally she had a long dragon tail and large black angel wings.
"Buiomon: the Angel of Darkness!"
The new digimon took to the skies as the others stared in awe and horror as Buiomon dived down and attacked the DarkTyrannomon and then pulled out an arrow made of black jewels, the bow being made of the same material, only it had sapphire gemstones in it.
"Dark Arrow!" she called as she released her arrow.
It shot off in a streak of black and hit the dark rings, shattering them all and freed the dinosaurs who all shook their heads and took off.
"Wow." Wormmon gushed with hearts in his eyes from the sight of the digital beauty.
All of her forms were absolutely beautiful to him.
"We'll be back as you know. Daisuke, I'll see you again." Ken said as he blew a kiss to her which made the girl blush.
Airdramon then flew off while Buiomon turned around and flew down to the ground where her partner was while TK and Kari gave them wary looks while Pegasusmon and Nefertimon stood ready to attack if they had to.
"Just what did Ken mean by that?" Yolei ragged on the girl.
The female leader didn't answer as she simply pulled off her goggles and threw them down onto the ground, everyone watching in shock as she stomped her foot down on them, shattering them.
Everyone gasped at this as they couldn't believe she would ever do that.
"None of you trust me just because I have the digi egg of Darkness now. So Friendship and Courage really means nothing to you? I mean nothing to you?! Fine! Then I'll leave you all and never come back." Daisuke said.
Looking up at them, her chocolate eyes were filled with pain as Buiomon scooped her up in her arms and then flew off away from their former team they had left after they had been verbally abused by them.
(A few days later…)
Daisuke and V-Mon had avoided the Digidestinds like they were the plague and would go to the Digital World alone to just enjoy themselves.
One day while they were by a river bank relaxing, Ken walked out of the greenery with Wormmon.
"Hello, Daisuke." The Emperor greeted.
"What do you want?" Daisuke asked.
There was no hostility in her tone, but she did sound curious which made him give a true smile as he walked over to her and sat down next to her.
"I just wanted to speak with the most beautiful human who has ever come to the Digital World." He said honestly which made her blush darkly.
Wormmon scuttled over to V-Mon with a blush of his own as the dragon look at him and gave a smile.
"Hey there Wormmon." She said.
"Oh, um, hello." He stuttered.
Chocolate eyes met bright blue as the two humans stared each other down trying to figure some things out.
"Ken, why did you choose me as your Queen and not Sora, Mimi, Yolei or Kari? I mean, especially Kari. She is the precious Princess of Light." Daisuke said with a small gag.
Laughing softly at this, Ken cupped her chin and pulled his visor off to show that his eyes weren't cold like they usually were and filled with an emotion that made her knees weak and a blush burn her face.
"Because of your beautiful hair, your dark and expressive eyes, the way how you aren't afraid to show how you feel no matter who you could offend. You're also so courageous and determined in whatever you do. You also have flaws, but it makes you seem real instead of fake. Why wouldn't I fall in love with you?" he asked.
The word 'love' made Daisuke gasp as he then leaned down, captured her lips with his own and pulled her body closer to his as she then fell into the spell and enjoyed the kiss.
V-Mon and Wormmon both leaned into each other as they watched their partners kissing then blushed as the two digimon looked at each other and then just held hands as they cuddled.
Pulling away from the lips that tasted of strawberries, Ken looked down at the shorter girl who had a bright red face and just had to smile at her for how adorable she was.
"So what do you think about being my Queen now?" he asked as he played with her hair.
Smiling at him, Daisuke leaned her head on his shoulder as she looked up at him with a wymsical look as her eyelashes gave a small flutter.
"Sounds like fun." She said.
The digimon giggled at that as V-Mon pulled Wormmon along with her and Daisuke smiled at both of them as she held out her arms to the caterpillar to welcome him.
He looked a bit nervous at the sudden offer, but crawled into her arms and she stood up holding him in a gentle embrace.
"Let's show you two to your new home." Ken said as he wrapped his arm around his new Queen.
Giggling, V-Mon jumped up onto his shoulders which surprised him, but he allowed it since Daisuke kissed his cheek.
They then all walked off towards the base and be shown their new home.
(A few weeks later…)
The control spires had been getting knocked down faster than ever which made the Digidestinds curious, so they all ran off to the Digital World to see what was going on.
"What is going on here?" TK asked.
They had arrived in a village where there were many digimon rebuilding their homes.
"The Digimon Emperor is still here, so how can they think of construction work?" Kari asked.
A group of Gazimon were talking and laughing as they by them, each holding a can of paint.
"Do you think the Queen will come to visit us again soon?" Gazimon1 asked.
"I hope so. She always plays with us and brings treats." Gazimon2 said.
"A Queen? There's a Queen in the Digital World now?" Hawkmon asked.
"I wonder who she is." Izzy said.
The group which consisted of Izzy, TK, Kari, Yolei, Cody, Tai, Matt, Sora and their digimons all started walking further down the path until they found a large digimon chasing some baby digimon around.
"Oh no, it's Cyberdramon! He's a vicious Ultimate level digimon and his Desolation Claw is very unpleasant." Tentomon said.
"We gotta help them!" Cody said.
"DIGI ARMOUR ENERGIZE!" TK cried.
"Patamon armour digivolve to…Pegasusmon: Flying Hope!"
The armour digimon then attacked Cyberdramon down, shocking the Poyomons as they looked over at the Digidestinds that ran over to them.
"Don't worry, we're here to help." Kari said as she reached out to them, but they jumped away.
"Why would you hurt him?" Poyomon2 asked.
"What do you mean?" Biyomon asked.
Just then, Buiomon swooped in and tackled Pegasusmon down to the ground while Daisuke ran out of the trees dressed in a black tank top that cut off at her stomach and showed it off while she wore black spandex pants and black leather boots.
"What happened?" she asked.
She ran over to Cyberdramon and helped the large dragon up and then pet his head as he growled softly as he rubbed his head into her chest while the digimon around her all ran over.
"Daisuke, what is going on?" Matt asked.
Buiomon flew down to her human just as a large green insect digimon with Ken on his shoulder flew down.
Ken was dressed in black boots, black leather pants, black button down shirt and his hair was normal as well as his eyes as he hopped off of his digimon's shoulder and ran off to Daisuke.
"What happened here?" he asked.
"That's what I'd like to know. Oh, poor baby Cybie. Did those mean Digidestinds hurt you?" Daisuke cooed to the dragon.
"What's going on here?" Izzy asked.
"I'm not sure. Usually Cyberdramon is a wild beast. He's acting more like a puppy now." Gabumon said.
"You're Highness!" the Poyomons cried.
"Your Magesty!" the Gazimons called.
"Those mean kids attacked Cybderdramon when we were playing tag." Poyomon2 said.
Ken bent down and patted his head, smiling kindly which made everyone stare at him in shock since they weren't expecting that or what else was going on.
Buiomon flew over to Stingmon and kissed his cheek which made him blush while she giggled.
"It's not enough that you guys go off and hurt me, but now you attack innocent digimon?" Daisuke raged as she pulled away from Cyberdramon when she was sure he was fine.
"We didn't know he was innocent." Kari said.
"Because you always judge others! If they don't fit your precious circle of light, you attack them, insult them and kicked them to the curb or just use them to amuse yourselves." Daisuke said.
Ken walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist, making her calm down before she lashed out physically at them.
"I'll ask you kindly to leave now. You're disturbing our home." He said.
"Why should we leave? You're the Digimon Emperor and now you tricked Daisuke to become your Queen!" TK yelled.
"He didn't have to trick her since they both love each other." Buiomon said.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked.
"Daisuke helped Ken unlock the kindness inside of him and they started destroying the control spires and the four of us helped fix the lands that suffered." Stingmon said.
The Digidestinds all stared at the girl who had once been their leader that was taken for granted and rose to become the Queen of the Digital World and turned the Emperor away from darkness, maybe because she herself understands the darkness better than anyone else since she has the digi egg of Darkness.
All of the digimon had run off over to Daisuke and Ken, hiding behind them as they stared at the Digidestinds with looks of distrust and fear while Ken was holding Daisuke to keep her from killing them.
"You really did a lot to help." Izzy said.
"Leave now. We don't need you in these lands." Buiomon stated.
"But we can still help." Sora said.
"No, you can't. You have no right to help me ever since you all bad mouthed me behind my back. Those words hurt you know." Daisuke said.
One by one, the digimon all scattered away from the Digidestinds while Stingmon picked up Ken and Buiomon gathered up Daisuke, the two flying digimon taking off to the sky while the child of Courage, Friendship and Darkness' former friends watched her sadly knowing she would be gone forever.
Just then, they were all propelled out of the Digital World and were in the computer room, Cody rushing over to try and open the gate up, but it wouldn't work.
"We've been kicked out." He said.
"But why?" Kari asked.
"Because you all failed your mission." A voice said.
Turning to the computer, they all saw a young man on the screen frowning at them.
"Gennai?" Izzy asked.
"What do you mean we failed?" Yolei asked.
"Daisuke has the power of Darkness, but she isn't tainted. She purified it, but you all became tainted when you turned your back on her and caused her great pain. Because of this, you are all no longer Chosen Children." Gennai said.
"What? That can't be!" Sora gasped.
"I'm afraid it is. Any evil that appears, Ken and Daisuke will be the ones to fight it off. You all have no right to be in the Digital World." Gennai said.
"Figures Daisuke would just keep ruining our lives." Yolei hissed.
"Yolei, that was his point. What did she ever do that was bad? Sure she made mistakes, but so did I. I made so many that I can't keep track." Tai said sadly.
Gennai sighed as his image then faded away.
Over the years, the former Chosen Children watched as Ken and Daisuke found two other boys to join their team, a boy named Willis who was partnered to a Terriermon and Lopmon, then Ken's old friend named Ryo Akiyama who was partnered to a Cyberdramon.
They defeated MaloMyotismon and Diaboramon, creating a world where humans and digimon could live together peacefully without worrying over an dangers.
Ken and Daisuke had two children, a daughter who looked like her mother but had her father's hair color named Rei and then there was their youngest child, a boy named Kai that looked like his father but had his mother's hair color.
Willis had a daughter that had his hair and eyes named Jayden and Ryo had a son who looked exactly like him named Riku, all of the children being partnered to a digimon.
Rei was partnered to a Renamon, Kai had a Wizardmon, Jayden had a Lunamon and Riku had a Guilmon.
At this moment in time, the four children and their digimon were playing in the flower fields while Ryo was barbequing some burgers with Cyberdramon while Willis was grading some term papers as Terriermon and Lopmon took to the skies to watch over the kids, Ken and Daisuke sitting on a blanket watching their kids as they played.
Ken kissed Daisuke's temple which made her blush still even though she was now 27 years old, V-Mon and Wormmon resting together beside them.
"Do you have any regrets in your life?" Ken asked.
"Just that I didn't become your Queen sooner." Daisuke said.
Chuckling at that, Ken rested his head on her shoulder while Willis rolled his eyes.
"Some of us are trying to work here. This mush is getting too sweet, I'll get cavities." He said.
"Shut up, Willis." Daisuke said.
"Hey, foods ready! Get it while it's hot!" Ryo called.
Giggling, the children and digimon all ran over to the picnic blanket as Ryo and Cyberdramon served everyone their food.
It was a great life for them all and they enjoyed it the best they could until their children grew up, Rei and Riku getting married while Jayden and Kai got married and they all had children of their own.
The former Chosen Children were never heard from or seen again which helped them all relax as they enjoyed their lives and didn't worry about evil ever hurting them.
The end.
