The Return of the Digi Emperor

Chapter 1: The Dark Spore Part 1

I do not own Digimon or any of the characters.

Horror, pure absolute horror, filled the light blue eyes of Wormmon as Ken lay squirming on the floor of his bedroom. Mr. and Mrs. Ichijouji watched helplessly as their only remaining son lay whimpering in pain; neither knew what to do. Mrs. Ichijouji had called for an ambulance but feared that her son wouldn't survive.

Wormmon, who was hiding under Ken's bed covers, shook with fear; he knew what was wrong. Although Ken's parents were dense to its presence, a dark aura surrounded Ken. The dark spore in his heart has somehow resurfaced and had started to attack him from within. Wormmon knew there were only two options as an outcome from this attack and he didn't want either to happen. One, Ken would die from the attack or two; the Digi Emperor would be re-born. Terrified of the possibilities, Wormmon hid further under Ken's blankets.

The sun was bright and the air was a pleasant combination of warm and cool. It was really quite comfortable. Two brunette haired boys played soccer together. Under the shade of an old oak, a blond high schooler played guitar while talking to a smaller blond wearing a fishing hat. An older red haired boy messed with his laptop while chit-chatting with a clean cut brunette. A group of four girls sat talking while playing with a group of animal-like creatures called Digimon, short for Digital Monsters.

Off in the distance, a siren was heard, gradually growing louder as it came closer. The children started to notice it and one by one, peered around for the source. When it seemed it reached its peak, an ambulance turned a corner. Tires screeching, it zipped past the children, its sirens still blaring. By now, the previously animated group of children had all stopped playing and stared after the truck, surprised. The ringing sound of a cell phone broke the silence. Stunned, the red haired boy answered it.

"H-hello?" he stuttered. "Izzy speaking."

"Izzy! It's Joe!" the voice on the other end spoke loudly.

"I know; I have caller ID, Joe. What's wrong? You sound panicky," Izzy said, concerned. The others turned towards Izzy as the soccer players headed over.

"What's wrong, Izzy?" the older soccer player asked.

"It's Joe, he sounds upset," Izzy began, but was interrupted by Joe.

"While I was at my intern site a call came in and an ambulance was sent out—it's heading for Ken's place!"

Izzy dropped his phone; his face drained of all color. A look of realization dawned on him as he spoke. "That ambulance… is heading for Ken's place…"

Not a second after he spoke, one of the soccer players sped off towards Ken's place.

"Davis!" the smaller blond called out to him, but Davis didn't listen; he just kept running.
