Bad Boyfriend: Garbage/ Bleed Like Me
I've got a fever come check it and see
There's something burning and rolling in me
We may not last but we'll have fun till it ends
C'mon baby be my bad boyfriend
 
So ripe so sweet come suck it and see
But watch out daddy I sting like a bee
I know some tricks I swear will give you the bends
C'mon baby be my bad boyfriend
 
It's wild the way you tease me
It's wild the way you free me
It's wild the way you reach me
Wrapped me up in you wire from the start

Chapter 3
 
Wormmon made his way cautiously into the Kaiser's bedroom. He approached the occupied bed before announcing his presence and reason for the disturbance. “Masters” he answered the questioning and annoyed looks he was getting from the three now awake children, “the nine remaining digidestined have been spotted trying to skirt around one of your occupied areas. They are two hours from reaching the nearest digiportal. What are your wishes Ken-chan?”
 
Ken exchanged glances with his counterparts and received identical affirmative nods. “It is time to bring this drama to a close and throw the chosen children out of the digital world forever. Then we can finish claiming this world as our own and begin building a new order.” The three of them climbed out of bed and made their way over to a closet that contained numerous changes of clothing and a terminal that could design and create any outfit that was not currently available. Takeru and Daisuke donned new clothing more befitting their Imperial status. Ken decided that since he was no longer merely the Kaiser he really needed a new look too, though he keep his glasses and his spiky hair, some things are to personal to change on a whim.
 
After getting dressed and reattaching their personal arsenals they headed down to where the Airdramons were corralled. They all three mounted one and with a tap of Ken's foot they took off after their enemy.
 
~ Chosen's POV ~
 
Taichi was leading his fellow Digidestined back towards the terminal they would use to return to the real world. The meeting with Gennai had not been that helpful but hopefully by this time tomorrow they would have more information about Takeru's and Daisuke's whereabouts.
 
The group was being extra careful not to gain the attention of the Digimon Kaiser or any of his servants so they were surprised to hear that sarcastic yet sexy voice address them. They were even more surprised when it was answered by another one that though belligerent was very familiar.
 
“My, my, out on a hiking trip are we. Are we out on a lovely little stroll this evening or do you have some other reason to be trespassing in our territory?” Ken announced from atop a small cliff.
 
“So love what weeds have you discovered in our garden today?” Takeru asked coming to stand beside his koi.
 
Yamato heard his little brother's voice and before he even stopped to think he called out “TK we're here to rescue you and Daisuke now come down here and join us, we can beat him, right now there are several of us and only one of…” Yamato trailed off getting a good look at his brother standing comfortably beside the Kaiser. He also noticed the new clothing that the two were sporting. Takeru was wearing a pair of black pants that were tucked inside a pair of knee high combat boots. On his chest he was wearing a billowing black silk long sleeved shirt, a black choker around his neck, and on his head he had on a black version of his original bucket hat. Strangest of all were the black wings on his back and the spear he held that was twice as tall as he was.
 
Turning his attention to Ken, Yamato noticed that the Kaiser was also not in his usual attire. Ken had kept his cape, glasses and hair the same but was now dressed in a much more comfortable looking skin tight purple tee shirt and black pants which like Takeru's had been tuck into a pair of black leather boots though these were only calf high and looked to be slip-ons. Around his waist he had on a black belt onto which his whip was attached and on his back was what looked like a large, round, purple shield like they used in old movies.
 
Ken turned his amused gaze down on Yamato and with a self-righteous smirk said. “How nostalgic, the long lost brothers meet again.”
 
“What? Miss your younger brother? Looking for someone to hold your hand?” Takeru asked the confused, concerned and rapidly angering Yamato.
 
The entire Digidestined group was in a state of near panic and confusion. Was that really their sweet innocent Takeru standing up there beside the Digimon Kaiser looking like sex personified and Ken too looking the same way? And where was Daisuke during all this? What changes could the Kaiser have wrought in the red head, if it was indeed the Kaiser who was responsible for Takeru's apparent betrayal? Their questions were answered when that shockingly familiar voice called out from behind them. The group turned to see Daisuke drop from his previously concealed perch high up in a tall tree. He too was decked out in a new outfit. He had on a pair of black, white, and gray camo pants tucked into black leather boots that were criss-crossed all over with straps and had strange symbols decorating them. He was also wearing a tight red tee shirt and a huge sword was slung across his back. It reached up over his right shoulder and stretched down almost to the ground. The sword itself looked like is should have weighed enough to have Daisuke flat on his back. He also had on an arm guard attached to his left forearm extending from the back of his hand all the way up to his elbow.
 
Daisuke glared right at the older blonde “this, Yamato, is why you are no good. You have attempted to keep Takeru attached firmly to your hip and constantly in your shadow. You never have allowed him the opportunity to grow into his own person. But now with Ken's help we are able to stretch our wings and attempt the skies on our own. He no longer needs you to baby-sit him through life. He no longer feels the need to become a simple carbon copy of you. Indeed I should say that he no longer has the need, the longing to follow in your foot steps. You who abandoned your friends in their time of need have no right to tell anyone how they should live their lives.” After putting his blonde lover's brother in his place for his attempt to again direct Takeru's actions Daisuke crossed his arms and awaited a reply.
 
Miyako waved an angry fist at Daisuke “Daisuke how can you be so cruel. Has the Kaiser placed a spiral on you and Takeru? Snap out of it and help us!”
 
Her only answer was laughter from all three dark clad boys.
 
Hikari hesitantly asked “What wrong TK? What has Ken done to you?”
 
Takeru angrily answered “don't call me that. TK was the childhood nickname for a weak little crybaby who was constantly trailing along behind everyone else. Now thanks to Ken-chan I no longer fear the dark, the loneliness, the anguish of a broken home. We, Dai-koi and I, have learned to harness the darkness inherent in all of us and used it to become strong, and through that strength we have gained a connection that has given us a different kind of strength, the strength of numbers. We, the three of us will never again be alone, for we have become bound together with one mind and one purpose, conquest!”
 
Ken finally addressed them again “you the children of Love should already know what we speak of and you Knowledges also should have gained an inkling of understanding as to what we have become. But as pleasant as this conversation is, it is not the reason we found you today. The Digital World is ours and you are no longer welcome here; therefore you will give us your Digivices, and your D-3s, and return to the real world. This is not a request this is an ultimatum.”
 
“Are you insane, we cannot leave the Digital World unprotected against the likes of you Ken, and as for you two, Daisuke and Takeru, I don't know what's gotten in to you but wake the fuck up and listen to yourselves. You sound like tyrants, dictators, and villains. You sound like the type of people we fight against. This isn't you and you know it somewhere deep inside. So fight back against this brainwashing or whatever it is that has happened to you and help us stop that idiot once and for all” Taichi begged his two younger friends.
 
Daisuke calmly pulled his sword from its scabbard and pointed it at Taichi. “You will not call Ken by anything other than the titles of honor which he deserves. You have no idea what he has been through in his life. Heck none of you can even comprehend the pain he has suffered. But me and Take-chan now help him to carry that burden, just as me and Ken-koi do the same for Takeru and they for me. As was stated earlier you cannot even begin to understand what is truly going on here. Now you were given a choice you can leave now peacefully and never come back or…”
 
“…or we can forcefully eject you from our world and make it a very painful experience” Takeru smoothly picked up Daisuke's thoughts and finished communicating it for him.
 
“Little brother I don't know what that creep has done to you and Dai-kun but I swear I will take it out of his hide.” Yamato said as he began to charge his way up the hillside only to be brought up short by Takeru's spear point appearing in his face.
 
“We gave you a chance but you have chosen the way of pain.” Daisuke said as he brought his sword up to an engarde position. Then sudden to the Digidestined amazement he was no longer there. Instead Jyou heard Daisuke speak from beside him and he turned his head just fast enough to catch a glimpse of a sword coming at his head.
 
“Good night Jyou” Daisuke said as he brought the flat part of his blade up hard against the older boy's head rendering him immediately unconscious. Takeru meanwhile had squared off against his older brother and was in the process of bringing the older blonde's ego down low. “So you think you can beat you little brother?” Takeru said as he danced around and dodged his brothers increasingly enraged attacks. “You must be joking; I have gone up against the denizens of a world far more brutal than you could ever comprehend and won every time while you were piddling away your time searching for me in the real world.” Takeru finally became bored of his little game and brought the handle end of his spear up against the back of Yamato's knees causing them to collapse. Takeru then swung that same end up and around hard, connecting to the side of Yamato's head knocking him unconscious.
 
Ken had meanwhile gone up against Nefertimon and Halsemon and in short order forced them to dedigivolve back to Nyaromon and Poromon. He then sprang into the air and landing just behind the two females and with twin chops to their neck sent both of them plummeting into unconsciousness. Iori had also Digiarmor Digivolved Armadillomon to Digmon, and was trying to sneak him around behind Daisuke. The red-head received a telepathic warning from Ken and before the Digimon could get off his Gold Rush attack the dark warrior spun around and yelled Wailing Souls Slash which shot a burst of charged energy at the unsuspecting Digimon. Upon impact Digmon dedigivolved all the way back to Tsubumon and further began to vanish into deletion. The burst of light that was released by this converged onto a single spot and reformed into a new Digiegg.
 
Sora faced off with Takeru “TK why are you acting like this, I have known you for a long time and this is not you. Please snap out of it.” She said before she was doubled over by Takeru's fist in her gut. He said quietly to her bowed over form “I told you not to call me that didn't I” before bringing his other fist down on the back of her neck sending her to join the rest of her teammates in oblivion.
 
Daisuke faced off against the combined forces of Courage and Knowledge, Taichi and Koushiro. “You cannot win Taichi; I have become more powerful than you can possibly imagine” Daisuke said to the two of them as they circled each other. “You really have no idea of what you're facing and that my dear Izzy will be the key to your downfall.” They saw him take one step forward and then he did his little disappearing act again. They felt a gust between them and suddenly Daisuke was standing behind them facing away from them watching his blonde lover face off against Iori. Taichi and Koushiro barely began to turn before they collapsed into a heap, unconscious from the blows they had not even felt or noticed.
 
Ken had easily dispatched Mimi and like Daisuke he was watching Takeru and Iori. Takeru stood watching the youngest member of the team cry over the deletion of his partner as he mentally conversed with his two soulmates; they reached a consensus and Takeru spoke to offer Iori an opportunity they would not offer anyone else. “Iori-chan why don't you join us here as a ruler of the Digital World? We all agree that with your brains and reliability you would make a valuable team member. We do not offer this chance lightly nor do we think that we will ever find anyone else worthy of it.”
 
“You expect me to give into whatever it is that has turned you and Dai-kun to the darkness. I don't think I can do that, I have responsibilities not only here but at home as well.”
 
“Yes, your mother and your grandfather. They try so hard to make you fill your dead father's shoes, yet you don't really want that do you? You suffer from the same feelings of loneliness that we three suffered from before our joining. We can help you Iori, the darkness is not all bad. If you search your own heart you will discover the bits of darkness that are already there.”
 
“Are you saying that all darkness is not evil?” Iori asked in a confused tone of voice.
 
“I used to believe that it was but over the past few days I have learned differently. You see Light and Darkness are as fire and wind. Fire brings warmth and comfort, yet it burns and withers that which it touches. The wind blows cold, lifting the soil into the air, yet it also bears the seeds of life. Each then, brings both life and death. Do you understand what I'm trying to say Iori-chan, Light and Darkness are like anything else, they simply are. What matters is how they are used and abused. A bright cloth left in the sunlight will fade away to nothing, while a plant left in the dark grows stunted and weak. The principles of ying and yang apply here. There is Evil in the Light, and Goodness in the Dark, what matters is how you balance the two.”
 
“I… have to think about what you have spoken of. I cannot make a decision like this lightly” Iori finally answered using his sleeve to wipe away some of his tears.
 
“Of course Iori-chan, take your time. If you ever decide you wish to join us, contact us at this web address. It will be forwarded to us here and we will take care of the rest, until then, sorry about this.” Iori was confused by the sympathetic look on Takeru's face until he felt the chop to his neck and then he felt nothing as he sank into darkness. Ken pulled out his D-3 and contacted Wormmon telling him to send guards for the captured digimon and their human counterparts.
 
Once done Ken faced his soulmates and said telepathically \if young Iori does decide to join us then the bonding ceremony will be much simpler this time around and not so dangerous now that we have the essential connection created.\
 
{If he does join us he will make a valuable asset to our team, though we may have to get a bigger bed!} Daisuke snickered.
 
[I think it matters little, Iori most likely will not willingly join us unless we take him to the Dark Realm as you did me and Dai-koi. Unless something goes awry, the others will keep him grounded in the Light; though hopefully he will remember our conversation and ponder the true meaning of Light and Dark, Good and Evil.]
 
{Take-chan, I'm… sorry about deleting Armadillomon in front of you. That was hard for you to witness wasn't it?}
 
[Yeah it brought back some bad memories but it had to be done, he would have hurt you and you're more important to me that a little bit of heart ache. Besides Patamon and Veemon are waiting for us back at the base. We have to go and have a talk with them about our new arrangements sometime soon.]
 
“Well in any case let's get our new possessions back to the fortress and spiral them before they wake up. Ah here come the guards now.” Ken said as he wrapped his arm around Takeru's waist and hugged him lightly. “What do you say about us going and giving the bed a try this time koi.” To which Daisuke gave a very enthusiastic “Hell yeah!”
