The Digimon Emperor arrived back at his lair after getting what he needed from the Tamers world. He arrived to find Ai and Mako asleep.
"I'll have to finish everything tonight. I feel Ken is about take control again. I'd better get back to his room or he might realize something is wrong. At least his parents believe he is sleepwalking. I'd better make up something to tell those two children. If they escape then my plans could be ruined." The Digimon Emperor said to himself. He walked over to Ai and Mako and woke them up.
"Did you find our friends?" Ai asked him as she started to wake up.
"I'm sorry but I haven't found them yet. I have to get back to the real world before my parents worry about me, but you and your brother should stay here. Trust me the Digimon will keep you safe here." He told her faking as much kindness as he possibly could.
"Ok then. Hopefully we can find our friends soon, but thank you for taking care of us." Ai told him smiling.
"Believe me when I say having you kids here is the best thing that could possibly happen." The Digimon Emperor said to her smiling evilly. He then left Ai, opened the Digital Portal back to his room and layed down thinking about how close his plans were to succeeding. He then went back into Ken's subconscious letting the young digidestined take control unaware of the plans the Digimon Emperor has started. Meanwhile the Digidestined were settling the Tamers into their homes. They had used the pretense of the Tamers being transfer students since school would start next week. The Tamers were settling in nicely all except for Rika who was still at odds with Yolei.
"I don't get why Kari said you had to stay with me. I already have to deal with my siblings now you." Yolei complained to Rika.
"Hey this isn't perfect for me either you know. Look I know we didn't have an ideal first impression of each other, but if our teams are working together we need to sort out our problems first." Rika told Yolei trying to make amends with her. Yolei looked at Rika and smiled a little.
"Look I'm sure we can get along and I'm sorry for what I said to you. I'm really worried about Ken, I'm sure your feeling exactly the same about your boyfriend Ryo." Yolei told Rika trying to relate to her.
"Hold on a moment. Ryo is not my boyfriend." Rika told Yolei embarrassed.
"Really because the way your friend Takato described things it seemed as though the two of you were together. I mean the only reason your in our world is because he stood you up at the movies." Yolei told Rika trying to understand her situation.
"I should've known Gogglehead would've exaggerated things. Look it's true he stood me up, but I never wanted to go to the movies I lost a bet and had to. Also I would do the same for any of my friends. Not just him." Rika said trying to clarify the situation.
"Ha Gogglehead I'm going to have to borrow that one to use on Davis someday. Honestly Rika I'm sorry for what I said to you. You were protecting a child and acted on instinct. It's just that with the Emperor returning and Ken getting weaker I'm not thinking right." Yolei said apologizing to Rika.
"Don't worry about it. Together our teams can find Ryo, save Ken, and stop this Emperor person." Rika told Yolei trying to cheer her up. Yolei smiled and hugged Rika. Meanwhile Kari was trying to cheer up Jeri.
"You seem awfully sad. Is there something that is bothering you?" Kari asked Jeri noticing she was very quiet.
"It's nothing Kari. I was just thinking about some stuff." Jeri said trying to avoid the conversation. Kari however went and sat down next to Jeri.
"Look Jeri your friend Takato told us about what happened. He said you were over it you seem so sad. Is there anything I can do to help?" Kari asked her wanting to try and cheer her up.
"Takato shouldn't have said anything. Look I was over it. I tried to live my life. Have fun and be with my friends, but then all their Digimon came back, but mine didn't. Mine would never come back. At least that's what I thought. I didn't mind it though I had fun playing with their Digimon. I decided to come to this world in hopes of finding my friend Ryo. Helping him because he would help me. What I didn't expect to find was my old parter. I wanted to be so happy that I found him, but the truth is that isn't him. I can't replace him, and now I'm doing the one thing I promised Takato and Callumon I would never do again. I'm crying." Jeri told Kari. Kari then hugged Jeri and let her cry on her shoulder.
"You've been through so much for somebody so young. If you ask me though I don't think that your replacing your old Leomon I think it's more like your forming a bond with our Leomon while still remembering your Leomon." Kari said trying to console Jeri. Jeri looked at Kari and smiled.
"You know Kari you remind me alot of my teacher. She always knew just what to say. You even sound like her. Thanks for trying to cheer me up. Next time we go to the Digital World I have to apologize to Leomon. Oh and Kari by any chance did Takato say anything else about me?" Jeri asked wondering what he has said.
"Not really why do you ask?" Kari asked her curious about why she wanted to know. Jeri got embersssed and blushed.
"No reason. No reason at all. I hope the others are getting along as well as we are." Jeri said quickly trying to change the subject. Of all the Tamers were settling in nice but none got along better than Cody and Henry.
"So Cody I was wondering if you could teach me some Kendo later." Henry said interested in learning.
"If you really want to learn I'd suggest asking my grandfather to teach you. He's much better than I am." Cody told Henry honestly.
"I want to learn from you though. My sensei taught me that students are able teach better than masters because they can relate to the other trainees better." Henry said explaining his reasoning.
"Your sensei seems like very wise man. Perhaps someday he could meet my grandfather. I'm sure they'd have plenty to discuss." Cody said. He then stood up and turned around slightly. "Henry what do you think we should do about Ken?" Cody asked him unsure about how he personally felt.
"Well I remember from the show that you were the last person to trust Ken. Honestly I'd say to keep on believing in him. I remember we had a little bit of difficulty trusting Beelzemon at first but he quickly proved to be on our side. Ever since then we've trusted him with our lives. All you need to do is trust that your friend is there and let fate take care of the rest." Henry told Cody hoping that it would help him out. Cody checked his D-Terminal and noticed he had a message from Tai.
"Tai says were all meeting up at the park. Apparently it's time to tell Ken the truth. The truth that he is the Digimon Emperor, and that if he doesn't do something about it soon he might loose control forever." Cody told Henry.
"Alright then. Let me just go and get my little sister." Henry told Cody. He then went into the guest room they were staying in where he found Suzie and Lopmon asleep. "Wake up Suzie were heading to the park for some important things." Henry told her trying to wake her up.
"Let me sleep a little longer Henry I'm tired." Suzie complained to Henry.
"Come on we agreed you could come with me to this world if you listened to me. Now we have to go." Henry told Suzie sternly.
"Ok fine but can you carry me." Suzie asked Henry as she started to get out of bed.
"Not all the way but I can carry you for a while." Henry told Suzie. He then lifted her up and set her on his shoulders.
"Hey Henry you think you could put in a good word for me with Cody? You seem to be getting along and he's really cute." Suzie told Henry as they headed out of the house. Henry blushed at this and pretended not to hear her embersssed that his little sister would ask him for that. Together they headed off to meet up with the other Tamers and Digidestined to tell Ken to cold hard truth about the identity of the Digimon Emperor.
A/N: Hey I'm back everyone. Sorry it's been a while but I have a lot of news. First of all I'm getting straight A's this quarter in college. That's amazing because I haven't done that in about 6-7 years. Also I've updated all 4 of my other stories. For some bad news my girlfriend and I broke up but it was completely mutual and were still good friends. Also huge thanks to the guest that corrected me. I've been saying the Tamers have D-Tectors but that is the digivice that the frontier team uses. No idea how I messed that up but thanks for pointing that out. One last thing I have some shameless self promotion. I recently started a YouTube channel called BallinPlays. I would appreciate it if you could check it out sometime. I'm not that good right now but I'm getting better. Don't worry YouTube won't stop me from updating. Just search BallinPlays and you should find me easily. With that shameless self promotion out of the way hope you enjoyed and see you next time.
