"Rah everything that you come up with those rangers fine a way to beat them." Zakkomon said.
"Master I'll come up with something else." Endromon said.
"Let me go after them I can take them." Spikomon said.
"No let me I have a score to settle with the red ranger." Sabromon said.
"No allow me." They turned to see a mysterious person.
"Who are you, how did you get in here?" Zakkomon said.
"I am from a world of darkness. I'll gladly take care of those rangers for you and I can achieve a little something of myself." The person said.
…
The Park
Ken was doing some laps down at the park.
"Best time yet Ken." Wormmon said. "How is it you're getting faster?"
"Just goes to show you what a little hard work can do." Ken said.
"I'm impressed you can do that without the use of the Dark Spore." That voice gave Ken shivers as he turned around and saw himself as the digimon emperor.
"You! That's impossible that can't be right." Ken said.
"Oh it is now." The digimon emperor said.
"But how?" Ken said.
"Well when you were through being me the dark spore lost its power so it had to go somewhere and by somewhere I mean the Dark Ocean." The digimon emperor said.
"You were formed from the Dark Ocean." Ken said.
"Yes and I came to destroy the rangers, but first to destroy you. There's not enough room in this world for two of us." The digimon emperor said. He used a whip and wrapped it around Ken's leg and tossed him.
"Ken!" Wormmon said.
"You're the side of me I never wanted to see again. I can take care of you." Ken said as he ran in. He tried to pound and kick him, but the digimon emperor kicked him down and tossed him.
"I am much stronger I don't even need digimon slaves." The digimon emperor said.
"Sticky Net." Wormmon wrapped his web around him, but he broke through and kicked him.
"Still as useless as always." The digimon emperor said.
"Wormmon are you okay?" Ken said.
"Now to take care of you." The digimon emperor said as he was about to finish him, but Davis and T.K. as rangers jumped in and kicked him.
"Ken are you alright?" Yolei said as the others showed up.
"Yeah I'll be fine." Ken said.
"Whoa I'm seeing double." Davis said.
"How can there be two Kens?" T.K. said.
"That's my old self apparently he was formed from the Dark Ocean." Ken said.
"I'm glad to see you rangers Zakkomon says hello." The digimon emperor said.
"You joined forces with Zakkomon?" Cody said.
"Yes I can destroy Ken and you rangers." The digimon emperor said.
"Careful he's even stronger than before." Ken said.
"Well so are we." T.K. said.
"I always wanted to do this when Ken was bad." Davis said as he went in to attack. He tried kicking and pounding, but the digimon emperor pushed him back. T.K. went in to help, but was pushed back as well.
"I'll deal with you rangers later. It's a shame Ken your brother couldn't be here." The digimon emperor said and disappeared.
…..
Gennai's Lair
"How can the digimon emperor be around?" Kari said.
"Did Zakkomon clone Ken or something?" Yolei said.
"I ran a scan and he's not a clone. The only thing I'm picking up from him is energy." Izzy said.
"How can he be just energy?" T.K. said.
"He said he was form from the Dark Ocean. It wouldn't really surprise me since that world is made of negative energy." Ken said. "I need to be alone." He just walked out.
"What's going on with him?" Veemon said.
"He's my best friend so I know. Seeing the digimon emperor it must haunt him of his past." Davis said. "Maybe we should just give him his space."
…
Zakkomon's Ship
"The rangers were right there why didn't you attack?" Zakkomon said.
"I'll deal with the rangers later." The digimon emperor said.
"Why should we even trust you? You're a human." Sabromon said.
"My dear lad whoever said I was human." The digimon emperor said and had dark energy emitting from his hands. "I have my priorities first and my first priority is to take care of that Ken Ichijouji."
…..
Ken
Ken was walking around the city thinking after the encounter with the digimon emperor.
"It's a shame Ken your brother couldn't be here." The emperor's voice echoed through his head.
"What did he mean my brother?" Ken said.
"Ken please talk to me. Want to get some ice cream?" Wormmon said.
"I'm not in the mood for ice cream." Ken said. Then a whip wrapped around him and Ken was pulled to the top of a building with Wormmon grabbing his leg. When he was pulled to the top he was faced with the digimon emperor.
"You again." Ken said and he smirked.
…..
Gennai's Lair
"Guys I'm worried about Ken, maybe we should check on him." Yolei said.
"Yolei I know Ken he probably wants to be left alone." Davis said.
"I don't think you should." Gennai said. "Ken is going through a tough time and may need the support of his friends."
"That'll have to wait. The digimon emperor is back." Izzy said.
"Chances are he's after Ken." Cody said.
"Come on we better go help him." Kari said as they ran out the door.
…..
Ken
"What do you want from me?" Ken said.
"What I want is your destruction because only one of us can exist." The digimon emperor said. "You had it all Ken. The brain, the power."
"I never wanted that if I knew what it would do to me." Ken said.
"Are you so sure?" The digimon emperor said. "Remember your brother Sam. He got all the fame, all the attention. When you were little you wished he would disappear and you got your wish. Then the Dark Spore came and you had it all. The academics, the athletics. Then you just threw it all away. Well now you have nothing, your brother is gone and he's never coming back. Hahahahahah." Ken held his head low and shed a tear.
"Ken." Wormmon said concerned for his friend.
"Don't you ever say anything about my brother." Ken said with tears in his eyes. "I will destroy you if it's the last thing I do." Ken ran into attack, but the digimon emperor fought back. Ken tried kicking him, but the digimon emperor got a hold of him and tossed him.
"Ken are you alright." Wormmon said.
"You have nothing and now you get to see my new form." The digimon emperor said. Dark energy flowed through him as his skin turned purple, his muscles grew, his hands turned to claws, his hair became spikier, and grew horns and fangs. "How do you like my new look?"
"Y-You're a monster." Ken said.
"Well now I hold more power than you ever will." The digimon emperor said.
"I swear if it's the last thing I do I will destroy you." Ken said as he ran in again.
"Ken no!" Wormmon said. Ken tried to pound him, but the digimon emperor blocked it and tossed him near the edge. "Ken!" Wormmon jumped on to help.
"Get off me." The digimon emperor said as he tossed him.
"Wormmon!" Ken said as he caught him. The digimon emperor launched an energy blast that made it look like it destroyed him.
"Too bad Sam couldn't see that. Now for the rangers." The digimon emperor said, but Ken was actually holding onto dear life with one arm and holding Wormmon with the other.
…
The Rangers
"His signal is just up ahead." T.K. said.
"Wait what's that?" Kari said as the digimon emperor jumped down.
"Hello rangers." The digimon emperor said.
"No way it's him." Cody said.
"What happened to him?" Yolei said.
"I am even more powerful. You're friend Ken found that out." The digimon emperor said.
"What did you do to Ken?" Davis said.
"You're about to receive the same thing." The digimon emperor said as he ran at them and slashed them with his claws.
"You're not the only one who has become stronger." Davis said as he jumped at him with his Veemon sword.
"Fool." The digimon emperor said as he blasted him with his eyes.
"Digi-Blasters guys." T.K. said as they blasted him, but he withstood it.
"Darkness Whip." He created a dark energy whip and whipped them all with one strike.
….
Ken
"Come on Ken pull us up." Wormmon said.
"I can't hold on." Ken said as his hand was slipping. 'At least this way I will be with Sam.' He thought. His hand slipped and he began to fall until he just stopped in midair. A transparent version of Sam was holding his arm.
"Hello Ken." Sam said.
"Sam!?" Ken said.
"I've been watching. The other rangers need you." Sam said as he placed him back on the roof. "If you need me I'll always be with you." He entered in his D3 and it attached itself to Ken's wrist.
…..
The Rangers
The rangers were all knocked down by the digimon emperor.
"I've always wanted to see you at my mercy." The digimon emperor said. He was about to finish them, but Ken jumped in and kicked him away. "You!"
"Ken!" Davis said.
"You were right. There isn't enough room in this world for both of us." Ken said with his D3 ready. "Go, Go Digital." He went through the same morphing sequence. He flipped back in a purple tunnel and had purple data cover his body that formed his outfit which was the same as the digimon emperor's, but without the cape. Then his helmet formed that was in the design of Wormmon.
"Emperor Ranger!"
"No way." T.K. said.
"Ken's a ranger." Davis said.
"It doesn't matter I'll still destroy you." The digimon emperor said.
"Alright Sam if you're with me let's take him together." Ken said. The digimon emperor went in, but this time it was Ken to counter. He blocked the emperor from hitting him and kicked him in the side. Ken got behind him and kicked him again and tossed him to the side.
"Is that all you got?" The digimon emperor said.
"I don't know let's find out." Ken said.
"Darkness Whip." Ken jumped over the attack and kicked him in the chest.
"Now it's my turn." Ken said as he brought out a whip.
"Emperor Whip. Energize!" His whip began to glow and he whipped at the emperor with power that destroyed him.
"Ken that was amazing." Yolei said.
"Good job." Cody said.
"Ken's past is still going to haunt him. By my power make my minion grow!" Zakkomon said and the digimon emperor rose again.
"I'm better than ever now." The digimon emperor said.
"Allow me to handle this." Ken said. "Ready Wormmon."
"I'm ready for this." Wormmon said.
"Wormmon-Zord online." Ken said. Wormmon glowed and grew into a zord that Ken jumped in with basic controls inside. "Now advance." Wormmon moved in.
"That'll do nothing." The digimon emperor said as he fired blast, but it didn't stop him.
"I'm not so useless now." Wormmon said.
"Launch the web." Ken said and Wormmon launched a web the emperor got tangled in. "Now watch this rise Stingmon Megazord." Wormmon opened up and out came a Stingmon-zord.
"I'm guessing you forgot I could digivolve." Stingmon said. He flew in and used speed to kick him down.
"Wow look at him go." Davis said.
"Now to finish this." Ken said. Stingmon brought out two stingers and flew in.
"Twin Sting Strike." He struck threw him and destroyed him.
"This is impossible I'm invincible." The digimon emperor said and was destroyed. After that Ken went to the ground.
"Alright Ken you're a ranger now." Davis said.
"How did you access your powers?" T.K. said.
"I had a little help." Ken said. 'Thanks Sam with you by my side that old me is gone forever and with my friends we can stop Zakkomon.' He thought.
