Chapter 4: Ken's Dual

The digidestine were at the Kamiya's after the dual from last night.

"Do you think what that guy said is true about the Leviathan." Agumon said.

"A Leviathan is just a myth." Izzy said.

"Well there's nothing else to explain what's going on." Tai said.

"So does this happen to you guys a lot?" Jun asked

"This whole soul stealing thing is new as well as all this dualing." Matt said.

"Their even doing this to us digimon." Palmon said.

"It doesn't matter we're still going to stop them and we have this." Davis said as he hold up Terine.

"I still don't see how any of the stuff you said is true Davis it's illogical." Izzy said.

"That has to be what you thought of us digimon." Tentomon said. Then there was an email.

"Hey guys it's from Sora's father." T.K. said "He saw what's going on and he wants to meet us in North America. He said he might have something on what's going on."

"If that's true we better get going." Patamon said.

"We want to come too. I finally get the chance to meet this Willis." Tai said.

"We should get Ken." Yolei said.

"Yeah let's go guys." Davis said and they were off.

….

Daemon's Lair

"Master as you probably already know one of us has fallen." Donatello said as Daemon's back was turned.

"It doesn't matter; his soul is just like every other human and digimon. It's all in preparations for the revival." Daemon said.

"I take it you also want the souls of the digidestine." Donatello said.

"Yes. I have already sent some on to take care of them." Daemon said

….

Out on the streets

Some girl with a bird like digimon was riding a motorcycle.

'I'm coming for you guys.' The women thought.

…..

"I see so you sent her." Donatello said.

"She wants to prove herself so be it." Daemon said. "I have also sent Kozak to take care of a certain someone since he wants payback."

…

Tamachi at the Ichijogi's

Ken was watching the news. "The spread of digimon still goes on as they wreak cities." The news reporter said.

"This is just awful." Ken said to himself.

"It will be okay Ken we handle this before." Wormmon said trying to comfort him.

"Ken honey lunch is ready." His mom said.

"I'll have some later mom. I'm going up on the roof for a little bit". Ken said.

"Okay take your time. I can understand with all those monsters around." His mom said.

"I told you before they're called digimon." Ken said before he went outside and up on the roof.

When Ken was on the roof; he looked out and started thinking about everything that was happening.

"I can't believe all this. They're all just scared like when I was…" "Like when you were the digimon emperor." A voice said that interrupted Ken. He looked behind him and saw the tall red head from last night.

"Who is that?" Wormmon said.

"I don't know." Ken said.

"Allow me to introduce myself my name is Kozak and I am here for you Ken." He said as he pointed at Ken.

"Me what for and how do you know I was the digimon emperor?" Ken asked

"I am here for payback and I'll do that by taking your soul." Kozak said.

"What do you mean by that?" Wormmon asked.

"Hold up are you one of those guys that hunt for human and digimon souls. Yolei told me what happen last night." Ken said.

"I am and once I take your soul I can get on with my life, but the only way to take your soul is to defeat you in a dual." Kozak said.

"A dual!" Ken and Wormmon said together.

"That's right so here." Kozak said as he showed the card with the Orichalcose and glowed. Then a dual disk appeared on Ken's arm with a deck. "This way we can get moving." Then Kozak got his dual disk ready.

"Ken." Wormmon said with him getting worried.

"It'll be okay. I know what to do after seeing Davis dual." Ken said. "Now Kozak let's do this."

"Game on." They said together as 4000 LP appeared next to them.

"Since this is your first dual I'll let you go first." Kozak said.

"I will." Ken said as he drew a card. 'This is my first dual and maybe my last if I'm not careful.' He thought. "I summon Mystic Knight in attack mode." A knight in white armor and a sword appeared with 1400atk points. "I will also use this for later." A face down was played.

"My move then." Kozak said. "I'll start by summoning my Fire Tank." A giant tank appeared with 2100atk points and was a level 5.

"How did you summon a level 5 monster?" Ken asked.

"You have a monster and I have none. That's Fire Tanks's ability that allows me to summon him, now destroy his Mystic Knight with Meteor Launch." The tank fired a meteor and destroyed Ken's knight bringing Ken's LP to 3300.

"I activate my Knight's special ability. Since you just destroyed him you lose 500 LP." Ken said as white aura surrounded Kozak and brought his points to 3500.

"Well I'll just let you have your turn." Kozak said

"You got this Ken." Wormmon said and Ken nodded in agreement.

"Here goes." Ken said as he drew his next card. "I'll start by using my face down Warrior Spirit. This card brings back one warrior in my grave yard and I choose my Mystic Knight." Then his knight returned. 'Of course once this card is removed so is the monster.' He thought. "Now I equip him with the spell Electric Whip." The sword turned into a whip and increase his points to 2100. "Attack now."

"Then both of them will be destroyed." Kozak said right when the knight whipped the tank with electricity and destroyed both of them.

"That maybe, but my knight still has his special ability." Then Kozak had 3000 LP. "That's it for me."

"You call yourself a genius. Please; you just left yourself wide open." Kozak said. "I activate the spell Reconstruct. This spell brings back a monster and will be treated as a machine. I bring back my Fire Tank." The tank then appeared. "Now to really have some fun. I activate The Seal Of Orichalcose." Then the green circle started descending.

…

The other digidestine were walking to Ken's apartment.

"Hey guys look." Joe said as he noticed the circle.

"That's The Seal Of Orichalcose." Davis said.

"It's coming from the top of Ken's apartment building." Veemon said.

"We got to get over there fast." Yolei said as she started running ahead of the others.

"Yolei wait up." Hawkmon said as he flew after her.

'Ken if that's you up there then hang on I'm coming.' She thought.

…

The seal was set and appeared on Kozak and his tank raising its points to 2600.

"Now that the seal is set only one of us will walk away when this is done." Kozak said.

"I see so this is The Seal Of Orichalcose." Ken said.

"Now my tank fire." Kozak said as Fire Tank fired it's meteor and Ken was actually hurt leaving him with 700 LP.

"Oh no Ken!" Wormon shouted.

"I'm okay Wormmon." Ken said struggling to get up.

"You won't be for long." Kozak said threatening him.

"Ken!" When Ken turned he saw the other digidestine and the digimon.

"Oh look your friends are here." Kozak said.

"Whoa Ken's dualing." T.K. said

"Hey that guy is from last night." Matt said referring to Kozak.

"It also looks like things aren't going well for Ken." Gabumon said.

"It's nice they are here they can see you fall." Kozak said.

"It's my turn." Ken said. "I summon Winged Snake." A snake with wings appeared with 700atk points. "I'll also use his special ability by sacrificing him I can take one monster with him." The snake flew at the tank and they both disappeared.

"But you're wide open again." Kozak said.

"That maybe, but that will change once I use the Double Summon spell card that allows me to summon another monster." Ken said. "I summon Lone Star Warrior." A gladiator with a spear and a shield with a star on it with 1600atk points came on the field. "Attack, Star Spear." The warrior threw the spear and it came down like a shooting star and left Kozak with 1400 LP. "And with his special ability I gain the points you lost." Ken LP went to 2100.

"That won't stop me. I will have revenge." Kozak said in an angry tone.

"Revenge?" Everyone except Ken said.

"Revenge for what?" Ken asked.

"If you want to know then look." Kozak said as he holds up a digivice like the original ones but static on the screen.

"A digivice." Tai said

"Then he's a digidestine" Agumon said.

"But then what's he doing with Daemon?" Jun asked.

"The answer is you Ken Ichijogi." Kozak said. "My partner is gone because of you."

"Me?" Ken said all confused.

"That's right." Kozak said. "I knew you were the digimon emperor and you created Kimeramon. My partner was destroyed because of your creation.

…

Flashback

"My partner was a Blackknightchessmon." Kozak said as he told the story. "We heard about the digimon emperor; one day we saw him on Kimeramon and try to fight, but you were too powerful for us.

"Blackknightchessmon you're going to be okay." Kozak said in the flashback as his partner was hurt.

"Ko-Kozak, I'm afraid this is good bye. I-I'll never forget you." Blackknightchessmon said before he was turned into data.

End of Flashback

…..

"I tried going to the Primary Village, but I found out he was permanently deleted." Kozak said. "It was then that I met him.

…

Flashback

Kozak was in his room and depressed

"Blackknightchessmon" he said.

"Do you want revenge?" a voice said and Kozak notice a dark cloud and Daemon appeared.

"Stay away from me." Kozak said.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I know who the digimon emperor is. Come with me and you can have revenge." Daemon said as he held out his hand.

"I'll go with you. Vengeance will be mine." Kozak said with anger.

End of Flashback

…..

"It's thanks to you I'm in this mess." Kozak said to Ken.

"But I didn't know I was hurting innocent creatures and Daemon…" "Save your excuses." Kozak said as he interrupted Ken.

"I'm going to finish this dual and be rid of you once and for all." Kozak said. "This is where you will fall."
