Chapter 10: Rescue Mission II
How could he have been so stupid? Of course
they would hide there. It was the last place they would of
looked.
Myotismon had lived in that
castle for a while before his defeat. Bad
memories surrounded that castle for many digimon and humans alike.
Myotismon had used this
castle to torture many of his servants and had
used the portal in this castle to travel to the Human World. After
Myotismon's defeat in the Human World many of his servants and
followers stayed in the castle and continue his legacy. When
Myotismon resurrected and was defeated for a second time his
servants and followers abandon the castle altogether.
The European castle looked worn and broken from
lack of use and climate change. Many parts of the castle walls were
gone or crumbed to the ground below. It looked like no one was
using the abandon castle. But that was probably what the enemy
wanted them to think. Yamato remembered the first time they entered
this castle. The castle look normal on
the outside but was like crazy
maze on the inside that defied the laws of physics. He remembered when at one
point they were able to walk on the walls and ceilings of the ridicules
place.
Yamato stared at the castle as
Garurumon jumped
over the rubbles of stone and wall. Yamato knew what he was doing
was impulsive and very Taichi like. He knew Taichi would hit him
over the head and then argue with him for being an idiot. He
doesn't understand. When Ken was kidnapped he felt so helpless and
then seeing him on the video made those feelings come back. In a
way it reminded him of the time when Takeru got hurt in the Digital
World. He was helpless back then and almost lost his brother. He
wasn't going to let his pride get in the way again. Not when
someone he loves is in danger.
Taichi can yell at him all he wants later.
Right now he has a boyfriend to save and a human to
kill.

Ken groans as he was forced to walk the long
hall. His body ached all over and it hurt when he moved. The
beatings were awful but the rape was damaging. Every time he walked
pain shot through his spine. He knew that walking was not helping
the lacerations that were within his body.
All Ken wanted to do was sleep and escape all
this pain. He wasn't sure how much more abuse he could take. But
today was different somehow. The Goddess of Darkness had ordered
her henchmen to bring both him and Wormmon to the torture room. He
felt sick to his stomach. What torture would he have to go through?
Would he be beaten? Would he be forced to have unwanted sex? Would
he be forced to watch his digimon get hurt?
No! He would rather die before anything bad
happens to his friend. Friend? There were others, right? A boy with
goggles and tan skin, another in a green jacket and wonderful
smile, and a blond with the bluest eyes that made him want to stare
into those blue orbs forever.
Dread filled Ken when he realized that's all he
remembered of them. He knew that with every session he has with his
father, the Goddess
used her darkness to remove pieces of his
memory. He had pretty much forgotten everything. The only thing he
remembers is his digimon and the three boys. He couldn't remember
what their names are and how they are important to him. But he knew
that deep down he loved them and that they are searching for him
and Wormmon.
This prison was a huge maze that could take
weeks, maybe months, to travel. He just hopes that someone out
there would find him. He had to believe in that. He would not
surrender to the darkness that he was certainly certain
of.
***
Yamato glanced at a message he had just
received from his extremely, unhappy best friend. Taichi had
written a lengthy paragraph on what an idiot he was, and on how on
earth he thought it was a good idea to rush to the castle knowing
that it could be a trap and blah, blah, blah. Grumbling to himself,
Yamato read another message from Taichi, that was just as long
saying - no demand him to stay put and wait for him, Daisuke.
Hikari, and Takeru. Yamato wasn't sure what was worse: Taichi and
his anger or Taichi and his damn leadership and stubbornness.
Either way Taichi was annoying both ways.
Ignoring Taichi and his messages, Yamato walked
down the hallway until he came upon a door that was different from
the others. Garurumon
blasted the door before reverting back to
Gabumon. The hall behind the door was a long flight of stairs that
led down. They never went through this part of the castle before
and he had a feeling it led to some kind of dungeon or
something.
He looked at his partner for a moment before
they started to walk down the stairs, stairs most likely leading to
his boyfriend at long last.

Ken gasps and cries as his father pounded into
his body. It hurt. It felt good. Yet, it hurt.
Ken hated this. His digimon was locked up in a
cage and forced to watch his torture session. He could hear his
digimon yelling his name and begging for his father to stop. His
father ignores his pleas and slams harder and faster into his
already weaken body. How much more was he to endure? How long was
he to wait until his heroes arrive? Would they ever come for him?
Did they even care?
Darkness surrounded him as his doubts grew. It
was searching for more memories, more precious memories to take
away from him and leave him with none. Ken fought back the Darkness
when it tried to take way his memories of his digimon. Those were
his memories they cannot have it! It tried to take the one of the
three nameless boys that he held but Ken fought it as well. The
Darkness cannot have that either! It was his! Angry with his weak
resistance and stubbornness it left.
Ken mentally sighed in relief that he had
managed to fight Darkness but that was before the pain. Ken cried
out as his father began to pump his length. He was close. He knew
he was. He felt the pain and then he saw stars. Ken collapsed in
exhaustion as his father's soften manhood left his body, allowing
his milky white seed and blood to pool under him. Ken looked at his
father through blurry eyes to take in his features.
His father was different then he was before.
His skin was the same but he had blond hair on half of his head,
while the other half was his normal brown hair. His eyes were still
black, but they were more calculating and cruel. His father had
fangs and demon wings on his back and he was wearing a black
leather suit, which was open in certain places, with a red cape
attached to it.
Ken watched as his father gave him a scowl. He
was not pleased with his resistance to Darkness. Ken barely noticed
the whip until he felt the whip come in contact with his skin,
along with his digimon's screams. A cry was wrenched from his
throat as his father continued to whip him angrily.
“You insolent little
brat!”
Crack!
“How dare you-”
Crack!
“-continue to resist
me?”
Crack!
“Surrender! There is no hope for
you!”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
“Leave my Ken-chan alone! Sticky net!
Sticky thread!”
Ken heard the man that was his father gasp in
surprise as he tried to avoid Wormmon's attacks. He wasn't sure how
Wormmon managed to get out of the cage but he was glad he did. His
vision began to blur as Ken continued to lie on the cold ground. He
felt tired as his blood left his weak, broken body and pooled
around him. That didn't really matter though; all he wanted to do
was sleep and escape. Darkness started to appear in the corners of
his vision and started to travel as he felt himself slipping from
his body.
Ken barely registered the man trying to hit his
digimon with his blood soaked whip. Nor did he register the big
metal door being blasted open by blue fire or the huge blue fox and
blond boy jumping through the hole and entering the torture room.
Before darkness completely engulfed him Ken heard a familiar voice
yelling his name in shock, anger, happiness, and fear.
“KEN!”
***
Darkness. He was surrounded in it, but it was a
different darkness. It was comforting and safe. It wanted to shield
him from the pain and yet wanted him to understand and live. He
wasn't sure why but he liked this darkness. It wasn't like the one
that was trying to hurt him and steal his memories. No, this one
wanted to embrace him and return what was lost.
Ken looked around and noticed that the darkness
was moving like a gentle breeze. It swirled around him; beckoning
him to go forward. Ken looked at the direction it wanted him to go
and saw a small hill, surround by grass and flowers. On the small
hill he saw a familiar teenager siting on a bench, looking at the
horizon. Ken walked towards the boy, feeling a sense of
familiarity.
The familiar boy had navy color hair; much like
his own, only it was somewhat spiky. The boy had glasses over his
dark purple eyes. He wore a dark green shirt, blue jeans, and black
sneakers. In his hands the boy was holding a bottle of bubble
mixture. He was holding a bubble wand near his lips as he tried to
blow a bubble. However, the bubble popped before it fully formed
and left the wand.
Ken looked curiously at the boy as he took a
seat next to him. The boy turned in his seat and met his eyes,
smiling warmly at him. The boy dipped the wand back into the bubble
mixture and then gave the wand to him. Ken took the wand and stared
at it for a second before blowing a bubble. Ken watched as a
perfect bubble formed and floated into the air. Ken smiled as the
bubble floated away followed by other bubbles that he blew
afterwards.
“Still as gentle as I remember,
Kenny.” Ken's eyes widen at the name. Only one person ever
called him that and that person was the one who had died a long
time ago. Warm tears began to falls down his face as memories
rushed back to him.
“Niisan?” Osamu Ichijouji smiles at him, his own
tears falling down his face, as he puts down the bottle of bubbles
and pulls Ken into a hug. Ken returned the embrace as he sobs into
his brother's shoulder. “I missed you so much,
Niisan.”
“I missed you too, Otouto. I missed you
too.” After several minutes of crying to two pull apart to
wipe away their tears. “I had a feeling you would remember
when you saw me.” Osamu said softly.
“How could I have forgotten about
you?” Ken asked, looking down at his hands in shame. Osamu
placed his hands on his.
“It's not your fault. You've been through
a lot. A lot that I wish I was there to help you with, especially
with mom and dad. I'm sorry I never noticed until it was to
late.”
Ken looked up at him in confusion. “What
you mean, Niisan?”
“Ken, they ignored you when you were
younger. I knew it was unfair but maybe you were better off that
way.” Osamu frowned sadly. “Mom and dad treated you
badly after I died and wanted you to become like me. What they did
was unforgivable! I felt so helpless when the Darkness took
advantage of you and made you cold. I'm not saying that becoming
the Digimon Kaiser was your fault. It wasn't and don't even go
there!” Osamu said sternly before he could protest.
“You were hurt and alone. I wasn't there when you needed
someone to talk to or when you needed help. And I'm sorry for that,
but I'm glad there were other people to help you after
all.”
Ken felt memories returning to him as his
brother spoke. He remembered the things his parents did to him. He
remembered his digimon and the horrible things he did as the
Digimon Kaiser. He remembered his brother and friends. He even
remembers his wonderful grandmother, best friend, and boyfriend.
Ken eyes widen when the image of the three boys came to his
mind.
The first boy had goggles on his head, he had
tan skin, brown eyes, and maroon color hair. He was wearing a flame
jacket, yellow t-shirt, and brown shorts. The boy had a familiar
goofy smile on this face that said he wanted everyone to laugh and
have fun. Ken's eyes stun with tears as he remembers the name of
his best friend. “Dai-Daisuke…” The second boy
was older then his best friend. This boy had brown, wild hair,
brown eyes, and slightly tan skin. He was wearing a green, open
jacket that was over a white shirt; grey slacks, and blue and white
shoes. Tears fell down Ken's face as he remembers the name of
Daisuke's boyfriend. “…Taichi…” The last
boy was around the same age as Taichi. He had blond hair and
familiar blue eyes. He was wearing a black button shirt, jeans, and
black shoes. Ken smiles watery as the name of his soul mate came to
him. “Yamato…”
Osamu smiles as he watches his brother regain
his memories. He was happy that his little brother had three very
good people looking after him, loving him even. He was envious at
first when Yamato captured his little brother's heart, but the guy
was patient and never pressured his little brother into anything.
In fact everything he did was to help his brother heal. Osamu
wasn't sure if he approved of three guys in love with his otouto,
but if it kept him safe and loved, it really didn't matter. As long
as Ken was happy, he was happy.
“Niisan! I remember! I remember!”
Ken squealed happily. Osamu could see the clarity in Ken's eyes. He
no longer had the fearful look in his eyes before he was kidnapped.
Nor did he have that empty and dead look that was present due to
his treatment at the hand of his father. No, ex-father. He was
glad. His baby brother would be okay.
Osamu placed his hand on his brother's cheek.
He didn't want to let him go but it was time. “Ken.”
Ken looked at him, wondering what was wrong. His brother looked so
sad now. “It's time to wake now. It's time to return
home.”
Ken shook his head furiously. “No,
Niisan! I just found you! I don't want to lose you again!”
Osamu placed a finger on his lips, silencing him.
“Ken, I will always be with you
here,” placing his hand over Ken's heart. “And
here,” tapping Ken's temple lightly. “I will always
watch after you, Otouto. But, if you ever need to talk to me or see
me, call me in your dream and I will come.” Ken smiled, happy
with the answer. “Now it's time to wake up, Ken. I'm
sure Ishida-san and Wormmon is very worried about you.” Ken
hugged his brother one last time before getting up.
“Thank you, Osamu.”
Osamu nodded and stood up, placing a hand on
Ken's shoulder. “Follow the Darkness. It will show you the
way home.” Seeing the uncertainty on Ken's face he continued.
“Ken, not all Darkness is bad or evil. Darkness is neutral
and is needed to keep the balance of good and evil. Be weary of the
corrupted darkness, it will try to leave you astray. Follow the
neutral Darkness. It will protect you and show you the
way.”
Ken processed what his brother said and nodded.
The neutral Darkness caressed Ken's cheek as it moved around like a
gentle breeze. Feeling safe with this darkness Ken moved in the
direction that it beckoned him to go. Moving farther and farther
away from his brother and into the light.
