Ken and Kari were getting disappointed in not finding anything, however, they were enjoying seeing the digital world again.

It was about time that they were to meet up with Tai and Matt when they noticed something in the sky.

"Oh no," Ken whispered.

"That can't be what I think it is," Stingmon replied.

"Is that your base?" Kari asked.

"You guys destroyed it though," Nefertimon answered.

They got closer in silence. When they arrived, Ken said, "It is my base. It shouldn't be here. Whether or not this has anything to do with Kiara, I have to check it out."

Kari nodded.

Ken yelled, "Open!" but nothing happened.

"Whoever it is must have changed the voice recognition. Stingmon, land over there," he pointed to a tree. After landing, Ken touched the tree, and a computer appeared.

"Good to know that works still," Ken mentioned. After working for a few minutes, Ken said, "it should work now."

"I have a bad feeling about this," Kari replied.

"Open!" Ken yelled, and the stairs came down.

Ken and Kari, along with their digimon, entered the floating base. It was quiet, except for the quiet hum of computers running. Kari followed Ken, who clearly remembered the base's layout. They arrived to the computer room and they could tell someone was in the chair, but they couldn't tell who.

"Kiara?" Kari asked.

A voice, deeper than Kiara's came out of the darkness, "I am not Kiara. She is my vessel, and you have come too early in the plan."

"Who are you?" Ken asked, "Why are you here?"

"Still possessive of your base, are you, Digimon Kaiser? I was so disappointed when I saw you had turned to the good side. Not that I had anything to do with you, but I did enjoy it when you brought so much evil to my realm."

"Realm? Who are you?" Kari repeated Ken's question, wishing to see her daughter come out of the darkness.

"Ah, child of light. You should know me, you have been to my realm before, many times. You were supposed to be my queen. With your light, you would have been a powerful queen. But now, I've found someone just as powerful to be my queen."

"Dragomon, from the dark ocean?"

"You are correct. Your daughter possesses strong powers of darkness and I plan for her to be my queen. If you do anything to take her away from me, I will harm your brother and friend."

"Dark powers? Is she evil?" Gatomon asked.

"You have Tai and Matt? Let us see them." Kari interupted.

Until then, Dragomon had been hidden in the darkness, where they could not see him. He then stepped into the light, revealing Kiara.

"Oh my," Wormmon commented, noticing Kiaras outfit. The colors were different, and it was a dress, but it was clearly the Digimon Kaisers design.

The color that had been left in Ken's face now drained.

"You had some great designs Kaiser, I'm just improving them. Great outfit for a digital queen, no? And yes, she has powers of darkness, just as you have powers of light and kindness; that does not make her evil. However, I'm sure there are ways to influence evil once we are separate, am I right Kaiser?" Dragomon said. However, Ken was unsure if he had been referring to the spores, or dark rings.

Kiara saw everything around her, wondering who the digimon Kaiser was and why this power was referring to her dad as him. She at least now knew who was controlling her and the place she had been. But why did he want her to be his queen? Why had he wanted her mom as his queen?

She hated seeing her parents upset, and her uncles in pain, locked in a cell, but she didn't know how to help them. She couldn't control her body, she didn't know what would happen if she tried. She didn't even know what powers she really had.

Kari had been silent since Kiara stepped into the light.

"Kari?" Gatomon whispered.

Kari finally spoke up, "If you want energy to survive in the digital world, fine. If you want a queen, fine. Take me instead, just let everyone else go."

"Kari, don't," Ken begged.

"Why should I take you over her?" Dragomon asked.

"She's only been in the digital world a few days. She doesn't know her power. She doesn't even have a digimon partner yet. I have experience and can bring enough power to give you your own body again."

After a moment thinking Dragomon finally answered, "You've made a good case, child of light. I accept."

Kari stepped forward, putting her hands out to hold Kiara's. A pink light flowed out from Kari. Kiara remembered a warm light reaching out to her before passing out. Next thing she remembered was her dad kneeling next to her asking if she was ok.

"What's going on?" She asked, remembering, "Where's mom?"

"It'll be ok, Kiara. Let's get going. We need to get your uncles, alright?" Ken said, trying to reassure his daughter.

Kiara heard a sniffle, and she sat up, and looked at who she guessed was Gatomon. Gatomon gave a small smile and said, "We'll get her back."
Kiara just nodded in response.

After standing back up, she looked down and noticed her clothes had changed back to normal.

"Let's get Tai and Matt, and then we'll make a plan," Wormmon said leading the way out of the computer room.

The group was silent, as Wormmon led the way to the cells.

"Hello?" they heard Matt cough.

The room was dark, so Ken went and found the light switch. The room lit up, and it took a second for everyones eyes to adjust.

"Where's Kari?" Tai asked, noticing his sister was gone. He tried to move but he had a few broken bones and winced in pain.

"You know her as well as I do," Ken responded.

"She gave herself up to some bad guy to get Kiara free, right?" Tai answered.

"Of course she did. Now hold on while we get you guys out," Gatomon said.

Wormmon opened the cell door, while Gatomon whispered something to Kiara. Kiara nodded, and let Gatomon lead her into the cell. Gatomon helped Kiara hold her hands up as if to guide her, and a black light appeared from her hands, surrounding Tai and Matt. After a minute, Kiara stumbled as the light went away, but Gatomon caught her.

"Talk about healing powers. Must have got that from your mom," Matt joked.

"Thanks Kiara," Tai said, as he stood up and hugged his niece.

The group then left the base to go form a plan.
