Disclaimer- I can keep wishing but I'll never own Digimon! Life's not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ********************************************* Author's Note: I was about to make a list of reasons why the former DE and our Computer Mistress would make a good couple. But then, I decided to call her the Computer Empress. My sister, Primrose, said, "now we have a Digimon Empress, too? Man, the Digi-World's in trouble!" I told her that there was no such enemy, but then I got the idea fooooooor . . . The Empress. (you stare) What? I'm not the only person who decided to write my own version of the story of the Kaiserin. Lots of people did it already so why shouldn't I? Hm? You don't think I can take the challenge? Oh, I'll show you! Sincerely Rose ********************************************* The Empress "Can we stop now?" Yolei asked. "Yolei, you asked the very same question one minute ago," Cody said. "Why don't you stop complaining?!" Davis grumbled, "it's all you ever do. Try something new with your mouth like shutting it." Yolei grumbled. After a few minutes, they stopped near a forest. "Finally!" Yolei exclaimed. Davis took charge. "Okay, people listen up!" he ordered, "TK, Kari, Cody, look around the area and see if there are any control spires near by. Yolei, look for some firewood. Yolei groaned as she got up. "Hawkmon, you stay," she told it, "I'll go alone." She walked off into the woods. "You know, Yolei can be a real pain sometimes," Davis said. "I don't like to agree with you on that one, but I have to," TK agreed. "Yeah, she can be annoying at times," Kari shrugged. "She's a good friend," Cody paused, "but, annoying and hurtful sometimes." "I know what you guys mean," Hawkmon said, "but-" He was interrupted by the sound of wood hitting the floor. They turned around to see Yolei. "Uh oh," Patamon whispered. Yolei was fighting to hold back tears. Her hands were rolled into fists. "It's nice to know how you guys feel," Yolei stammered. With that, she turned around and ran off full speed into the forest. "Yolei, WAIT!" Hawkmon shouted after her. The rest of them starts to run after her. "I think we really hurt her feelings," TK said as he ran. "We shouldn't have said all those things," Cody added. "Who cares?" Davis asked, "it was all true." TK growled. He punshed Davis as he kept running. "Hey, what was that for?!" Davis demanded. "You know that we hurt her feelings, Davis!" Kari shouted. The brunette paused before adding, "and I care about her feelings!" "YOLEI, WHERE ARE YOU??!?!?" Hawkmon shouted. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Yolei kept on running. She didn't even stop when she heard her friends shouts. She didn't care when a branch hit her face, sending her glasses flying. She didn't know where she was heading, but she had to get away. She had to get away from from Cody, from Hawkmon, from everybody. Especially Davis. Without knowing it, she ran so far that she left the area where the other Chosen Children were. She ran into another area which had a control spire controlling lots of Digimon. An area where the Digimon Emperor was. An area where the Emperor's base was. An area where she's going to get into lots of trouble. Yolei had her eyes closed. Tears were already making their way down her cheeks. She wasn't watching where she was going sooo . . . SMACK!!!!! She ran right into the Emperor and was thrown back. "Watch where you're-" Ken started. He stopped after he relised who is was. He smirked after he saw her tears. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" he smiled. "Go away, Ken," Yolei sobbed without getting up, "I don't have time for this." She didn't care that she was surrounded by Digimon with dark spirels and that she didn't have her Digimon here to protect her. Ken signaled for the other Digimon to leave. Even Wormmon left, hoping that his partner wasn't going to do anything to the young girl. Ken knelt down infront of her. "So, where are your friends?" he asked. "What friends?" Yolei asked not looking up. The Emperor relised that she must've broken up with her friends. "You know that I could destroy you right now," he told her. "I don't give a fuck if I die," Yolei snapped. Ken was taken back. He didn't expect her to swear. Don't five a fuck if you die, eh? Well, we'll just see about that. I'll get this one to join me. the Emperor thought. He got up. "Alright," the boy genius said to the still sobbing girl, "I'll give you a choice." "Yepee, aren't I lucky?" Yolei growled. "Oh, you're lucky alright," Ken snapped, "I don't make this offer to many people." "What is it?" Yolei asked. "Number 1: I tell the Digimon to detroy you and you die right here," Ken said, "or number 2: You join me." Yolei slowly looked up at him. He smirked at her. "What'll it be? Die or join the winning side?" he asked. Yolei bit her lip. "If only all decisions are so hard," Ken continued. Yolei didn't know what to do or say. It wasn't like her friends were really her friends in the first place, so why should she even stay on the "good guys" side? But, then taking her anger out of the digi-world . . . Yolei knew that she shouldn't turn evil, but who even cared? "Alright," she said after a minute of thinking it over, "I'll join you." Ken smiled at her. "Good choise," he said to her, "I knew not all of you had to be dimwits." He reached out his hand. She took it. End of Chapter 1 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Well, what did ya think? I know it was like so short, but hey, this is just the beginning! Kinda like the prolouge. I'm sure I spelled that wrong. Anyway, I thought hard about how to get her onto his side. It wasn't easy. Put a dark ring around her? No, already done. Seduce her into joining him? How many times have that idea been used? Talk her into it? Hell, Ken's supposed to be an evil genius! Evil geniuss don't do anything that simple! So, this idea about her running away just popped into my head when I was ready to give up. Whattcha think? - Rose Silverstein
