in the background. Though, you can't see 'cause this is text. =P]

TM: LAST TIME! On GINGA GIRI GIRI!

Amiko: Storm on the high seas! We land on a random island!

Cindy: We sorta not fight Ice Devimon (thanks to SSJ), and Davis realizes we are at File
Island.

Davis: And then, by random coincidence, a radio washes ashore, so we go to a random radio
tower for power.

(Silence...)

TM: Hey! Where's SSJ?!

Amiko: Oh yeah, we never did retrieve him from when that robot landed on him...

Cindy: Anyway! On with the show!

---- Chapter 28: The Emperor's Game ----

It was a quiet day at sea, to say the least. The wind blew across the deck of the S.S.
Belkin, and the fresh air passed by with a high-pitched screech. The waves split at the
mercy of the ship, sailing as quickly as it could East to File Island. And on this very
ship, with a rather large black cloak thrown over his shoulder, staring from his porthole,
was a teen of nineteen.

He wore baggy, tattered black pants along with leather hiking boots. The steady clink of
chains sung from under his red shirt as he paced about the room. He had light blonde
strands of hair; the back was tied in a short ponytail, and the bangs brushed away from the
front. He muttered to himself as the island came ever closer, and mainland ever distant,
"Damn it all! I can't be stranded like this! Why are we helping a bunch of worthless kids?!"

He continued to pace, the singing of chains ever present. More hours passed. Still pacing.
It has been like this the past six days. Pacing. Waiting. Never wanting to leave the room.
Finally, he took one vengeful glare out the porthole, then threw himself onto the bed.
"Damn it! Why'd it have to take this long?"

And still, the boat continued on its rescue mission. It sped onward, throwing smoke behind
in its wake.

***

The hoots and hollers of the various birds helped well. Yes, the soft pitter patter of
footsteps in the grass were unheard, as all other winged beasts were calling out in loud
screeches. And this helped Amiko very much, as she sneaked about with the silence, balance,
and most of all, speed of an elf.

She came close to her target: the water buffalo sipping carefully from the stream. She
pulled out her arsenal: the bow and arrow set she used way back during a time when she was
kidnapped by her fiancée. She silently muttered, "Do sit there, it'll make it much easier
for me."

She then pulled an arrow from her quiver, and then pulled it back along the string. A tense
second. Careful aim!

And then a small explosion was heard a distance behind her, and the buffalo slumped down
dead, with a bullet hole in its skull. Amiko accidentally let go of the arrow, sending it
straight into the tree behind where the beast's head was. She turned back and glared at TM,
who had a hunting rifle in hand. He sheepishly grinned as she stormed towards him. She
yelled angrily, "WHAT was THAT for?!"

"Well, you were taking too long, so I did it for you," he replied without making eye
contact.

WHACK! Amiko knocked TM over the head with her bow. "THAT'S NOT THE POINT! I almost had it!"

With that, she then stormed off towards camp, leaving TM sighing. He yelled after her,
"Hey, the easy way is the best!"

Amiko didn't turn around, but simply yelled over her shoulder, "Easy! Fine! Carry it back
yourself!"

Then, he sighed again, looking at the beast before him, "Damn it! I need some help here!"
She didn't reply as she disappeared in the maze of trees. And then, it finally occurred to
TM. "Hey, wait a second! Why the Hell is water buffalo on this island?!"

***

At the current moment, neither SSJ, Cindy, or Davis were having the best of luck. Oh no,
they sat in their still boat in the middle of a lake, fishing rods in hand. And sat. And
sat.

And they sat some more afterwards. They waited and waited and waited for their still, still
lines to even shake. Even just a tiny bit. Or maybe even less.

But the point was, that it was pointless of them to sit in their boat all day, doing
nothing but sitting around and fish. SSJ yelled into the sky, breaking the silence, "And I
don't even LIKE fish! Why the Hell are we fishing?!"

Davis replied without looking up from the water, "Do you really want to rely only on the
food that they bring?"

"Who cares!" Cindy yelled at the two. "Let's just eat a dog for all I care!"

SSJ finally let out all his frustration on the fishing rod, giving it a good shake. No fish
came. Finally, he screamed, "Gah! I give up!"

SSJ immediately threw down his rod into the water, making it splash and hit him directly in
the face. Not much longer, he was gone, and replaced by the small, furry
almost-but-not-quite Cerberus. Again, he bursted in anger, "ARGH! I HATE THIS!"

He then flapped the wings on his back and fluttered away, leaving Cindy and Davis alone in
the boat. They were silent for a bit before Davis muttered, "Well, crap."

Cindy then looked down into the waters. She sadly said, "He scared away any chance of the
fish coming..."

At that point, a gigantic fish emerged from the depths and threw itself into their bucket.
Cindy nearly fell out of the boat in shock. Davis added, "Yeah, when he was around..."

***

Their camp wasn't far away. After their miraculous bout of fish leaping straight into their
bucket, Cindy and Davis both were hauling back the heavy load, cursing at SSJ, who was
nowhere in sight. So, they trudged along their path, muttering obscenities at wherever SSJ
was.

They hauled it through the forests, through the falling leaves and between the many trunks.
Soon, they emerged at a clearing where their camp was made. Several crudely made tents
(thanks to SSJ), a crudely fashioned hammock (thanks to TM), a crudely made fireplace
(thanks to Davis), crudely skinned buffalo (thanks to Amiko), and a crudely fashioned
clothesline with clothes crudely hung on it (thanks to Cindy).

Amiko was busy preparing everything to cook the buffalo as TM was off elsewhere, gathering
firewood. Amiko looked up from her task and saw the two approaching. Her eyes narrowed,
knowing exactly what to expect. She said with no hint of surprise in her voice, "SSJ
ditched?"

"Yeah," replied Davis as he dragged along the bucket of fish.

Amiko sighed, "As he would..."

Cindy then added excitedly, "Well, him leaving allowed us to catch all this fish!"

Amiko glanced down at their bucket of catch. Her mouth dropped open. She exclaimed, "Sweet
Jesus! All of these?!"

Cindy nodded vigorously. There was then the sound of people moving through the leaves. She
turned her head to see various other teens emerging from the forest. She waved and yelled,
"Hey, everyone!"

Amiko and Davis turned to see the arrivals of Taichi Yagami, Takeru Takaishi, Sora
Takenouchi, and Hikari Yagami. Amiko, too, waved. "Oh! Hey!"

"Nice to see you all again," greeted Davis.

The others greeted them as well. Taichi had a look at the buckets and coolers of fish, as
well as the giant skinned buffalo. "We have a lot of food today!" he said with excitement.

"Yup!" Amiko replied with a smile.

Sora was leaning over the bucket of fish and turned to Cindy, "Oro? How'd you get all that
fish?"

Cindy sheepishly grinned. She answered, "SSJ stopped scaring the fish away when he ditched
us..."

***

SSJ hovered down and landed in front of the hot springs in the middle of the island. He
peered across the steaming waters, and saw Daisuke Motomiya and Koushirou Izumi inside
differing hot springs across from him. He touched the water with his furry yellow hand, and
then reverted to his human self, cape and all. He then raised a hand to greet them. "Yo,"
said he.

Koushirou and Daisuke then looked up at him. "Oh, hey, SSJ!" yelled Koushirou from the
comfort of the hot springs.

Daisuke pulled up to SSJ and asked, "How's Amiko, eh?!"

"I expect that she's fine," replied SSJ without a thought. He wiped his wet hands on his
cloak.

Daisuke continued pressing SSJ, "That's it, then? You have nothing better to say about
Amiko-chan than just fine?"

"Aren't you supposed to be into Hikari?"

"Well, I might need someone I can actually get."

SSJ was silent. He contemplated, and settled on saying, "...You know she's engaged, right?"

Daisuke then fell silent, and thus sank deeper into the hot springs. He said no more, but
now Koushirou said, "Curse brought you here again?"

"Yeah," SSJ said as he got to his feet.

"Ever thought of a way to get rid of it?"

SSJ scratched his head. He explained, "Well, the only way I thought of is always being in
hot water."

"That explains you constantly being in danger?"

"Not that kind of hot water."

And then, they heard a sort of feminine sound of someone clearing her throat. SSJ turned
his head to see Mimi Tachikawa, complete with pink hair from the second season, dressed in
nothing but a towel for the hot springs.

Mimi muttered, "Even if you are a fan of mine, I would appreciate it if you GOT OUT OF THE
WOMEN'S BATH!"

The three guys then diverted their attention to a knocked over sign that read "Women". SSJ
muttered, "Well, shit."

"Oro," said the other two. An awkward silence followed.

SSJ then dashed from the bath, followed by Daisuke and Koushirou, who were both dashing out
dressed in swim trunks.

***

Ken Ichijouji wasn't in the best of moods. Well, he was in one of the best moods he's ever
been. But he was definitely not in one of his sanest. He sat in his large chair in his
large hideout somewhere on File Island, checking himself in a mirror. He said to himself,
"These goggles are really tight, y'know."

Meanwhile, his digimon, Wormmon, was quite busy with other things. The digimon warned,
"Rantmon is going to be pissed, Ken, if we don't get rid of those Five soon."

Ken just continued muttering, "Damn, why am I even wearing goggles indoors?"

Wormmon sweatdropped as he looked at Ken. He tried to get Ken's attention, "Uh, master?!
A spire is collapsing..."

"And I don't even LIKE wearing goggles! I'm not Naruto!"

"Master! What are we going to do about Rantmon?"

As Ken was too busy talking to himself to listen to Wormmon, insert Kuroneko here, prancing
behind the two's back. Wormmon yelled louder than ever, "Master! Maybe we should do
something!"

Ken, oblivious to everything, put his hands to the sides of his goggles, looking at the
mirror, trying to adjust them. Ken muttered, "But then again, I do look pretty cool with
these... Ow, they are really tight..."

Wormmon could only sigh at that point. Suddenly, Ken yelled upon remembering, "Oh! Yeah!
We've got to dispose of those kids now!"

"But they're older than you," Wormmon replied.

"Silence!" yelled Ken as he held his palm at Wormmon. "Don't contradict the Digimon
Kaiser™!"

"Is the trademark necessary, Master?"

"Of course! Now! Let's get these guys!"

Ken then rose from his chair fast enough to have it spinning around, knocking Kuroneko, who
was beside it, into the air, through a skylight, and disappearing into the sky with a bling.

***

At the current moment, SSJ, Mimi, Koushirou, and Daisuke were walking along the forest path
towards their camp. It was an overall peaceful day. As peaceful as it could be. They
stepped out of the shadowy forest and into the clearing where they made camp, chattering
about what to do. They stepped a bit further into the camp as the others came into view.
They were all gathered around a campfire in the clearing, eating their meal. SSJ began,
"Hey-"

SMACK. SSJ took a giant buffalo leg to the face. Mimi, Koushirou, and Daisuke saw SSJ fall
to the ground with the giant buffalo leg on his face and then turned to Cindy, who was red
with anger. She yelled at him, "Ditch us, huh?! Well, thanks for the help of dragging the
fish in!"

SSJ pulled the leg off of his face, and then sat up, glaring at Cindy. "I don't think Kero
would have helped much anyway," he returned.

"Oh," Cindy uttered as she thought of a reply. She gave up and muttered, "Good point..."
SSJ walked past and turned to Amiko, sitting down by the fire.

He began to speak, but he soon realized she wasn't where she sat earlier. He quickly turned
his head to Koushirou and Daisuke, whom Amiko were flirting with. SSJ said nothing and just
took a seat next to TM. "She's getting fast," said he.

TM replied, "Yeah. It sucks she doesn't use that speed to much else."

SSJ then looked into the fire, clasping his hands together and pulling off a Gendou-esque
pose. "Soon, we'll be off of here," he thought aloud.

"We've been delayed long enough," Davis commented. "We'll have to hurry if we plan to get
to Hayden's place."

Everyone (well, except Amiko) then turned to Davis. They wondered who he was talking about.
TM just asked, "Hayden...?"

"Oh, I never said my friend's name, haven't I?"

Moments passed, as they all engaged in deep conversation. Amiko at the moment didn't seem
to have a care in the world, as she was surrounded by Taichi, Daisuke, Koushirou, and
Takeru. Amiko uttered, "Eh? Serious?"

Takeru nodded as he told her of a rumor, "Yes. Serious. A few people's dreams have come
true after they returned from the lake."

"So, uhm, why is there no one here trying that, then, if it's true?" asked Amiko as she
thought about it. Certainly, such a thing would be amazing, and many people would be
rushing to the lake.

Takeru answered, "Not sure. One of the few visitors them went by the name of Seymour Guado,
who wanted beautiful hair."

TM then jumped into the conversation, "Well, can't say anyone would take him seriously."

"And another one was Albert Wesker," continued Takeru. "I do remember him asking for a
Mustang. He found it in the brushes a few minutes later."

Cindy interrupted, "He was a loner. Amiko was able to punch him out."

"Pathetic, if you ask me," said Davis. "No one would take him seriously, either." Amiko
glared at her friends for interrupting.

"Oh!" Takeru suddenly bursted out. "Someone else wished something, too... Hmm..." He was
silent, thinking of the name.

Everyone looked at Takeru, waiting. SSJ slumped in his seat next to Mimi. He muttered, "So,
the lake we were fishing at just earlier today answers wishes?"

"Yes, that's right!" Mimi answered.

SSJ then rubbed his chin and stared into the fire. He had a thought. He uttered as he
rubbed his chin, "Hmm..."

"Oh yeah!" Takeru exclaimed. "His name was... Kino Tsumuji."

SSJ was then pulled out of his thoughts. He turned to Takeru and said with surprise, "He
was here?"

"Yep. Wished for someone named Yuki to return."

SSJ then remembered Kino's words. After all, one doesn't tend to forget someone who points
brings a knife to your neck. He then muttered to himself, "He claims we killed Yuki.
Must've failed..."

And then, their moment was utterly ruined when a booming voice called over their campfire.
They knew not what it was, but none the less were disturbed. They all jumped to their feet,
searching the dark sky and forest for where it came from. Finally, it came again, "HOW ARE
YOU, EVERYONE?!"

Insert camera zooming up to Davis' face as he yelled into the night, "DEAR GOD, NO!" He
tugged at his hair and his face twisted in fear. The rest of the Crew could not help but be
a little scared.

"That's RIGHT, Dark Digimon Tamer!" yelled the voice. "I have returned!"

Davis stepped back from where the voice called. He said with his knees buckling, "It's...
Him..."

TM looked into the sky, and he muttered, "That voice sounds familiar..."

SSJ added, "It actually sounded like... A couple of voices."

"Six voices, to be exact," Davis corrected.

All of their eyes widened in horror. Six voices... Oh dear... They remembered something he
said a long time ago. They all yelled, "CARSENSYNC?!"

"Pre-CISELY!" the voice, CarseNSync's voice, boomed. Out from the darkness and into the dim
light of the campfire leapt the horribly grotesque creation of Satan. Well, plenty of girls
would have found him good looking, as he was a complete fusion of N*Sync and Carson Daly.
Still, the sickening smile he wore revolted everyone there, and he took a step forward.
"HELLO! How are you EVERYONE!" his voice boomed.

The mere echo of his voice split trees in two, and threw the Five off of their feet. They
flew back through the air, back into their camp with the Digimon characters dashing away in
fear. Davis was the first to get to his feet and yell, "I thought you died back there!"

CarseNSync laughed. "Oh, me? I'm sorry, but I won't DIE ANYTIME SOON!" And as he spoke the
last three words, the ground under Davis broke asunder, making him lose his balance.
CarseNSync yelled again, "Rantmon will be PLEASED!"

This time a tree just behind TM split, and it came crashing down on where he stood. "Damn
it!" TM swore as he dodged. He did so just in time for the tree to fall onto the ground,
as opposed to falling on him, and then he got into his Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu stance. "Okay
guys! Fight time!" screamed TM.

SSJ yelled, "Yes!" He leapt up from the camp and landed beside TM.

"Right behind you!" yelled Amiko as she stood in the back ranks.

"I agree!" Cindy added as she stood beside Amiko.

Davis then got to his feet. "Okay!" he yelled.

The Five then leapt forward and dashed at the being of pure evil. CarseNSync just stated,
"Oh, you all are FUCKING STUPID!"

The profanity leapt out as a long, demonic arm, stretching out towards the five. SSJ, with
his Hellfire sword ready, leapt forward and slashed at the arm. He held his blade steady as
he dashed forward, cutting the long elastic arm in two. The beast commented, "Oh, aren't
you a FAST LITTLE BOY."

This time, a spike launched itself at SSJ, who held the sword straight up and blocked the
attack. It was then that the being realized that he was surrounded. He merely laughed as TM
readied his sword, Amiko her bow, Cindy her guns, and Davis his magic. "You all think
you're so CLEVER, DON'T YOU?!" he yelled

A shockwave emerged from him, which knocked them all into the air. "CURSES!" TM screamed.

Amiko twisted around in mid-air, aiming one shot at him. She took an arrow and let it fly.
Cindy did the same, letting a few bullets speed toward the monstrosity. The thing merely
yelled in reply, "You ALL should GIVE IT UP!"

A sonic boom launched towards the airborne arrow and bullets, stopping them in their
tracks. He began again, "You all will never beat-"

CRASH! A slab of burning stone hit the thing directly to the back of the head. What
surprised Davis right after was that the thing turned to him and glared as if it was a
minor inconvenience. The thing started, "Trying to get me from BE- GACK!"

A muffled explosion came from the yelling demon as Davis saw what happened. He saw SSJ and
TM restraining the thing, and Amiko, missing a shoe and sock, stuffing something down its
throat. "YES!" Davis proclaimed.

Within a few minutes, the demon was tied up, and several rolls of duct tape covered his
mouth and prevented his jaw from moving. SSJ sighed, "Well, that was fun."

Amiko complained, "Ugh... Its saliva is on my sock..."

SSJ then turned to Amiko, who was just barely holding the wet sock. He muttered, "I don't
think it's ever going to be clean again."

TM then looked down at the handsome devil, giving a sadistic grin. He suggested, "Guys, we
should do put him somewhere where he won't bother us."

Cindy then followed TM's lead. She rubbed her chin, thinking of a good place. A light bulb
clicked in her head. She asked, "How about on the satellite tower?"

TM nodded. "Yeah! We can hang him!"

Amiko added while throwing the sock away, "Upside-down!"

They all then laughed together, with a sinister light gleaming in their eyes. CarseNSync
didn't feel well at that time. An hour later, everyone was back to their conversation, and
the singer, covered with rolls of duct tape, was hung with thick rope upside-down from the
grating of the tower.

"That was a close call," said Mimi to SSJ.

SSJ nodded. "Yeah..." SSJ then looked at his sword, embedded in the ground ahead of him.
"This thing is pretty strong..."

"Of course," Davis cut in. "Dullahan isn't going to use a piece of crap."

TM, at this point, was hitting on Sora, while Hikari was chatting with Takeru, with a
jealous Amiko some distance away. Davis turned to Cindy, who was sitting away from all the
conversation. "Whose turn is it to check for the boat?" he asked.

Cindy answered, "Well, it's Amiko's but I don't think we should bother her." Davis and
Cindy looked at Amiko, seeing her bright red with anger, glaring at Hikari. Davis nodded.

Cindy then rose up and carefully stepped out of the clearing. The night seemed more
peaceful then ever, after facing pure evil. Cindy sighed from fatigue as she stepped deeper
into the forest.

***

Meanwhile, everyone chilled in front of the fire, ironically enough. They all waited for
Cindy to return, hoping to be back with a rescue party. They waited. She didn't come back.

Their conversation died, and SSJ noticed Cindy still hadn't returned. "Where's Cindy?!" he
asked Davis. Davis shrugged. Cindy couldn't have taken that long.

Amiko stopped her jealous glares at Hikari as she looked around. She muttered, "I hope
nothing happened to her..."

TM then sighed, "Damn it..."

And then, another villainous voice emerged from the trees, "Welcome, everyone!" Two
spotlights immediately shot on, shining onto the Digimon Kaiser, standing on a pedestal.
Everyone was taken aback to see him, only to sweatdrop when The Kaiser immediately covered
his eyes in pain. He screamed, "Gah! Not so bright, damn it!"

Amiko stared up at him, immediately recognizing him, of course. "Ken?!" she yelled.

Daisuke then stood up from the crowd. He yelled at the Kaiser, "Ken! What's this all
about?!"

When Ken's eyes finally adjusted to the light, he glared down at the group. He announced,
"Well! I have a proposition for you all!"

"Say it!" Takeru screamed at him.

"Well..." He then muttered silently to himself, "Ow, these goggles really hurt." He then
returned his focus to the people before him and yelled, "Your friend! She's just at the top
of the mountain. Maybe you all can get to her in about... Oh, two hours. If not... She
pays."

"What's this about, anyway?!" Hikari called after him as he turned around.

Ken paused and turned to her. "Oh, you'll all see..." And he disappeared from the
spotlights.

The spotlights shut off then. SSJ then turned to where he thought the spotlights came from,
and saw who else but the one of the Maze brothers. His eyes narrowed as he called, "Oh
geez, Ze! I know you're there!"

The Maze brother facefaulted, and leapt out of the trees. Ma followed Ze, jumping from the
opposite side. "Defeat we shall not acknowledge!" began Ma as he landed before them.

Ze rhymed as he stood beside Ma, "My ass hurts, so I am on edge!"

Everyone sweatdropped. "We propose another game," challenged Ma with a big grin.

"But this will not be quite the same," Ze added, smiling from ear to ear.

"A game that will challenge your mind, no less..."

"An amazing game... OF CHESS."

***

Five minutes later, Ma and Ze were tied together again, with each of their games lost. Ron
Weasley sighed as he stood before the two, "You know, you two really bloody stink at
Chess." Indeed, Amiko had summoned him to take care of them, but she never expected him to
finish so quickly!

And nor did the Maze brothers, for Ma complained, "Two on one was surely unbeatable!"

Ze yelled at his brother, "QUIT GIVING ME WORDS THAT ARE UNRHYME-ABLE!"

Everyone sweatdropped. Amiko turned to Ron and commanded, "Come on, Ron. Let's go!"

"Okay!" Ron replied as he disappeared in a flash.

***

The four dashed up to the mountain, with the Digimon gang chasing them from behind. They
dashed past the branches and leaves that darted into their path. It was dark and quiet as
they dashed through in hopes of reaching Cindy.

Sora spoke up from behind, asking Amiko, "You knew them?" They dashed over rocks and dirt.

Amiko turned and yelled back, "Yeah! SSJ and I beat them last time!"

They all dashed ahead, and then came to the foot of the mountain. Amiko then glanced at the
moon. "Damn it, that took too long," she swore, estimating that an hour and a half had
passed in order to get there. "We can't get up there fast enough!"

SSJ took her words into consideration. Then, he summoned, "Yuna!"

Yuna appeared in a flash of red light, yawning from being awoken. She dreamily spoke to
SSJ, "Yes, SSJ?"

"Get Bahamut!" he commanded. Yuna did as told.

A moment later, Bahamut soared into the air with everyone standing atop its ring. Bahamut
soared up past the mountain and landed onto a large space on the path of the mountain.
Everyone leapt off and SSJ wished Yuna off. Not long after, she was gone, and so was
Bahamut.

"Ah! Just in time!" they heard Ken's voice again.

Spotlights once again came on at the Kaiser's face. This time, he didn't flinch. And this
time, he was lacking his goggles. "Well then! Let us begin our game!" he announced.

And just then, a familiar dark voice cut in, "We won't be able to begin that, I'm afraid."

Ken sighed, and everyone saw the two controlling the spotlights: Peter Pettigrew and
Voldemort. They sighed. Voldemort coldly said, "If it isn't the boy who used the cheap
summoning trick."

SSJ grinned. "Heh. That was ingenious, huh?"

Voldemort didn't smile back. "Ingenious? Perhaps. Sickeningly stupid? I'd say so."

Peter added, "Because nothing is stupider than angering Lord Voldemort!" He shook a fist at
him.

Amiko then cut in, noticing something about Wormtail, "Hey! You got yourself another hand!"

Peter sighed and then hid his new right hand. He said nothing more, wanting to keep it
hidden. Voldemort leapt off the platform where the spotlights resided and onto their level.
Voldemort challenged, "Now. Show the Dark Lord what you pathetic Muggles have!"

TM sighed and stepped up ahead of the rest. He said to the rest, "Don't worry guys, I've
got this one."

TM then got into the Battoujutsu stance, ready to leap at Voldemort. His knee was bent, and
he prepared to launch himself at the warlock. Voldemort just muttered, "A samurai.
Pathetic."

TM returned, "Maybe you should call your wand that couldn't kill a fourteen-year-old boy
pathetic."

Voldemort then snapped, drawing his wand and beginning to chant the killing spell. But
then, Just as he finished "Keda-", TM had already dashed forward and snatched the wand out
of his hands.

Voldemort snapped his head back to TM, who was tossing the wand up and down in his hand.
"Well, that was easy enough," TM mocked. And with that, TM threw the wand off the mountain
and into the forest below.

"NO!" screamed Voldemort.

"Master's wand!" Peter yelled with surprise.

Davis sighed from the center of the group, "Morons."

Davis then flicked a finger at the two, sending an explosion racing towards Voldemort. With
a tremendous boom, Voldemort and Peter were in the air, flying away from the island. They
yelled in unison, "Team Voldemort is blasting off agaiiiiinnnn..."

With a bling, they were gone again, and Ken was sitting on top of his pedestal. He began
again, "Okay... Where was I... Oh yes! Our game!" SSJ, Amiko, and Davis got into their
battle poses, ready to attack whatever he sent at them. Ken just looked at them with
surprise. "Oro? You surely didn't think I meant that?"

Everyone paused. They all then exclaimed, "Huh?"

***

Ken lead them all into the very top of the mountain and into a cave there. Inside sat
Cindy, watching gobs of anime. Everyone facefaulted and went to inquire. SSJ demanded,
"What is this about?!"

"Oh nothing, really," replied Ken. "Rantmon won't be able to find you all in here." He then
checked his watch. "Gah! A second under two hours. You're lucky, Cindy."

Cindy grinned, then returned to watching her anime. Everyone was pretty much confused at
that point. Everyone just looked at the scene in disbelief. "Huh?" they repeated.

Ken sighed. He then explained, "Rantmon's been really angry as of late, since none of his
council was able to defeat you. If he were to have found out you all were here, oh man..."

"So you're not on his side and wanted no trouble, so, you wanted to hide us all," TM
thought aloud. Ken nodded.

"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?" Amiko yelled at Ken.

Ken replied, "Well, Voldemort kept delaying me, always wanting to do things AT THE VERY
END."

Everyone was silent. They just stared at Ken as SSJ spoke up, "So you delayed getting us
here because you needed him to AIM THE SPOTLIGHT?!"

"Of course! What kind of person would I be without the spotlight?!"

Everyone was silent again at that point. Davis then asked, "Okay, so what about Cindy?"

Cindy then called from the couch, not even looking back at them, "Oh, he said I'd have to
pay for the pizza I ordered if you didn't come in time."

"Pizza?" repeated the Four. They all stuck their heads out of the mountain and noticed the
Pizza Hut building just at the foot of the mountain. They facefaulted and stepped back into
the hole in the mountain.

Ken turned to step out of the opening in the mountain. He stopped just before he stepped
out, remembering something. He turned back and said, "Oh! I'd like to propose another
game..."

***

"OH YEAH! WHO'S THE MAN?!" SSJ yelled as he thrusted his fists into the air. He stood among
a ring of computers, standing tall and proud. Indeed, he was the victor in the game!

TM, Davis, Ken, Takeru, Taichi, Daisuke, and Koushirou were all gathered in a ring of
computers with SSJ, sighing over their loss. Ken muttered, "He certainly is skilled at
Warcraft II..."

"Damn it, he's been playing that since forever!" complained TM. It certainly was unfair.

"His dragons wiped us all out," Koushirou said, staring at his computer screen. He saw the
map covered in red dots. SSJ's units.

"CURSE YOU, SSJ!" Daisuke screamed at him. SSJ acted like he didn't hear.

Meanwhile, the girls were sighing over in the circle of couches about the TV, "Those
boys..."

***

The day passed, and a new morning dawned upon File Island. The waiting was soon to be over.
Everyone was anxious to see the ship out of there, and indeed, such a ship was barely in
sight from atop the mountain. SSJ sighed, "We'll finally be leaving."

As he got to his feet, Mimi put a hand of his shoulder and said, "I'll come along, of
course!"

SSJ nodded. "Hah, okay then."

TM turned to Sora. He slyly put his hand around her shoulder and offered, "So! How about
going with me!"

Sora nodded and smiled. "Okay then!"

Amiko turned to her crew, who agreed to join. She happily said, "Okay, Taichi, Daisuke,
Takeru, Koushirou! We'll go together!"

They all then stepped out of the mountain and headed down the path. And off at the
television, Davis was having trouble pulling Cindy away from the chair. Davis just told
her, "Come on! The boat is almost here!"

Cindy yelled back, keeping firm grip on the leg of the couch, "NO! I'M GONNA STAY AND WATCH
FUSHIGI YUUGI! AND TRIGUN! AND RAYEARTH! AND ANYTHING ELSE I WANT!"

Davis then dragged Cindy away, who was in turn dragging the couch along. Davis then caught
sight of Hikari, staring down towards the group. No one had offered to take her along. He
just sighed and said to her, "Come on, you'll come, too."

Hikari looked up at him. "Oh! Okay!"

Davis then dragged Cindy to the opening in the mountain, where she finally gave up and let
go of the couch. He turned to Ken, who was waiting outside. Ken warned, "Be careful out
there."

Davis nodded. "We shall."

"Hope you don't get sidetracked like Ken always does," Wormmon said from Ken's shoulder.

Ken yelled at his digimon, "I do not get side tracked!"

Davis smiled and left with Cindy and Hikari following him.

***

The Five boarded the small wooden boats that came to the beach for them, and then the boats
rowed off towards the main ship. Davis read the name, "S.S. Belkin, huh?"

One of the rowers turned to Davis and said with amazement, "It's amazing how you kids
survived out there! For a week, too!"

"Eh, it's no big deal," Davis replied.

The boat then reached the ship, and a rope ladder was thrown down to them. As they one by
one climbed aboard, they were met with cheering from all sides. The ocean breeze lifted
their spirits, and they were full of glee as they all finally were leaving. Finally. They
would continue on their journey! Finally! They were going to go without being impeded by
detours! Finally! They were off that God-forsaken island! They were free and safe!

But then a voice cut through the cheering. It was the all-too-familiar voice of the beast,
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY THAT EASILY!"

Waves shot up as the sonic blast raced past the ship. Everyone braced themselves as the
ship rocked in the sea, thrown by the waves. SSJ swore as he looked towards the island,
"DAMN IT!"

"NOT AGAIN!" yelled TM.

Amiko screamed, "I THOUGHT WE GOT RID OF THAT!"

"I'm taking it out now!" announced Cindy as she raised her revolver. Off in the distance,
the singer stood atop the satellite tower, launching wave after sonic wave at them. With
one carefully placed shot, Cindy hit it from afar, right in the lung. It fell from the
tower and into the forest. "That better be it!" yelled Cindy.

But oh no, it just wouldn't give up. "GRAH! GET BACK HERE!" They stared back in horror into
the forest, as they saw the faint figure of the singer demon gain wings of some kind. They
watched in horror as he flew quickly into the sky, and drop himself moments later on the
deck of the ship.

They saw how grotesque he really was, as the skin was melting and the skin seemed to barely
hang onto the bones. His graying eyes were barely in their sockets, and the rancid stench
emanated from it certainly wasn't helping. He slowly pronounced, "Don't run away just yet,
you all..."

It quickly was surrounded by the crew of the ship, all armed with various pistols. Davis
then spoke to it directly, "You're... A monster..."

The thing's arm just melted off then. He just muttered, "Monster... That's what I am,
huh...?"

Davis thought he could reason with it. The thing looked up at Davis as he requested, "Quit
bothering us. We'd prefer it if you stopped trying to kill us."

The thing was silent, but then began to laugh. More of its skin fell to the ground in a
puddle. "Haha... Is it really that easy... Is it really... THA-"

Before the sonic boom could form, a blade came straight down the middle of the beast,
catching the Five off guard. Water and clear liquid squirted from the corpse as it melted
into a simple clear fluid. And in the middle of the mess was a teen, wearing black pants
and a red shirt. His black ponytail clashed with his lighter bangs. In his hand was a sword
with a rather long handle. He muttered to himself, "Feh... Why did I do that?"

He then stood up and sheathed his blade, then was about to go back into the rooms, if not
for one of the crewmembers calling his name, "Hold it, Kensou Mishima!"

The teen froze, and then turned to the crewmember who spoke. Everyone was frozen then. SSJ
muttered to himself, "Kensou... Mishima...?"

TM glanced at SSJ. "Who?" he asked.

SSJ thought to himself, 'Kensou Mishima...' He then remembered where he heard the name. He
turned to Amiko, "Wasn't the old president also named Mishima?"

Amiko nodded. "Yeah."

The crewmember said to the teen, "You are wanted, Mishima. And there's quite a hefty bounty
on your head."

The five stood, frozen with surprise. The ship moved forward in the sea, back towards the
mainland. And still, the boat continued from its rescue mission. It sped onward, throwing
smoke behind in its wake.
