As a note, this story takes after "Sora???"

"Ken!" yelled Sora, "I should have known."

When Sora was waiting for the others to come back to the cave, she had been knocked unconscious and had awakened here in one of Ken's prison cells. Ken stood outside of the cell, proudly staring at his helpless captive. Sora leapt to her feet and gripped the cell bars.

"Let me out of here, you psycho!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.

"My my," said Ken, "Such language."

"You want language?! I'll show you language, you condescending, wig wearing, cheap piece of..," yelled Sora.

Ken reached through the bars, grabbed her around her neck, and pulled her into a kiss. He released her gently. Sora was speechless. She may have hated his guts, but she still thought he was cute. Ken smirked at her.

"W...What was that for?" she asked.

"I wanted to shut you up," said Ken.

"Hey!" she yelled, "You're not THAT great of a kisser."

"No," replied Ken, "But the knock-out drug I wear as Chap Stick will."

"You wear knock ouowownlfjsjfsnsf..." she said, falling to the floor.

Within the next ten seconds, she was unconscious again. Ken began laughing out loud, enjoying himself. A dark ring Gotsumon walked passed him.

"YOU!" he yelled at the slave, "Open this cage and take our guest to my chambers."

The Gotsumon wordlessly opened up the cell. He moved in and slung Sora over his shoulder. Ken walked towards his room with the Gotsumon in tow.

Inside were a comfy bed, a big screen television, a long desk, and a powerful computer.

"Throw her on the bed," ordered Ken.

The Gotsumon did so.

"Very good," said Ken, "Now LEAVE."

The Gotsumon bowed and walked out of the door. Ken turned to Sora. He picked up some rope and tied her hands and legs to the bedposts.

"Much better," said Ken, "Now I can keep an eye on her while I work."

Sora began coming to.

"Uh... W..Where am I?" she asked groggily.

She stared around her and saw that she was in a fancy bedroom. She looked at the TV, the desk, and then saw Ken sitting at the computer.

"He's got his back turned," she thought, "Maybe I can take him out!"

She was about to make her move when she realized that she was tied down. Not wanting to lose the element of surprise, she didn't make any struggling sounds. Ken was busy at work on something. She looked at the screen. On it were pictures of her and the other four digidestined kids. Below each of those pictures was what appeared to be a duplicate. These duplicates of the pictures didn't seem to be complete.

"Cloning process on the subjects," said Ken, "90% complete."

"CLONING??" thought Sora, "Is he trying to make duplicates of us? Hmm... I've got to find out."

"Huh??" she said, as though just waking up, "Where am I?"

"Oh," he said, "I see you're awake."

He turned off the monitor of his PC and walked over to the bed.

"Sleep well?" he asked, feigning kindness.

"What do you think?!" yelled Sora, "What are you doing wearing sleeping drugs on your lips anyway?"

"I make sure that I am COMPLETELY ready for any sort of attack I might encounter."

"What, like some tyranomon is going to attack you with its deadly 'kiss attack?' " said Sora, sarcastically, " 'Uh oh! It's a good thing I'm wearing my deadly lipstick!' "

"Shut up!" he yelled, smacking her face.

"Don't you dare hit me!" yelled Sora.

"What are you going to do?" said Ken, smugly.

"I'll eat through these ropes with my bare teeth, jump off of this bed, and mangle you," said Sora.

"....Hmph. You're spunky. I like that," said Ken, "You're 2 shall definitely have that aspect of your personality."

"What do you mean my 2?" asked Sora.

"Nothing you need to know about," said Ken.

Sora was about to protest again.

"Don't make me kiss you again," said Ken, laughing, as he exited the room.

"Jerk," thought Sora, struggling with the ropes.

He may have been a judo master, but it was pretty clear that Ken didn't know anything about tying knots. Her left hand slipped out of the loop of its rope. She untied her other hand and repeated the procedure with the ropes on her ankles. She looked around the room until her eyes came on an object.

"Perfect," she said smiling.

A few minutes later, Ken came back into the room. He noticed that his glass trophy for brilliance was missing. Before he could even move his eyes to look at the bed, the trophy came down on his head, shattering into a million pieces. Ken's eyes rolled back in their sockets as he fell down to the ground.

"Prepare yourself for THAT," said Sora, triumphantly holding the base of the broken trophy.

Within a few minutes, Sora had tied KEN down on the bed. Instead of using the ropes that he had used to hold her down, she tied him down with extra shackles that would have been used in the cells. She pulled off his wig, sunglasses, armor, whip, digivice, and just about everything she thought could be dangerous. She even wiped off his lips. He was left only wearing his jumpsuit. While he remained tied down and out cold, Sora turned the monitor of his computer back on. The status said 100%.

"100%?" said Sora, "Does that mean our clones are complete?"

"What do you think?" asked Ken, squinting in pain, "You hackers are done for now!"

"Hackers?! We're the digidestined you mental midget!" yelled Sora.

"Yeah, right!" said Ken, "Only a perfect person such as myself could be digidestined. You six are just a bunch of hackers, breaking into MY world."

"Oh, get over yourself!" said Sora, "I can't believe that a genius like you doesn't get anything about this world. Now then, tell me everything about these clones."

"Oh, you figured it out," said Ken, "I'm not surprised that you did. That was the main reason I captured you in the first place. You were the only one who suspected that I was behind the oddities you may have noticed."

"Why did that happen anyway?" asked Sora.

"Like I'm really going to tell you," said Ken, sarcastically.

"Oh, so you're going to play it tough, huh?" asked Sora, completely calmly, "Please take notice of the C-clamp in between your legs."

Ken's eyes widened as he saw that she had a big metal clamp right over his privates.

"Now then," said Sora, "For every misbehavior, I'll tighten that clamp just a little bit more."

"You wouldn't!" shouted Ken.

"Oh, you bet I would," said Sora, smirking.

Ken gulped.

"Would you like to reconsider your last answer?" she asked, sweetly, "Or do I get to have some FUN?" she finished with a sneer.

"......The clones are called 2s. They are programmed to behave just like the six of you, but with an evil twist. They are highly intelligent and will do whatever it takes to kill their targets. The best part is that they obey only ME, so I suggest that you let me go before I order them to come in here and destroy you."

"Nice try," said Sora, "But you're not dealing with an amateur. I saw the stats, they haven't been activated yet."

"Well, you've got me there," said Ken.

The truth was that Ken had set a hidden activation mechanism that would go off in about an hour if he were unable to do it manually for some reason.

"All I have to do is keep her here for about an hour," thought Ken, "Then my 2s can destroy her."

"Now then," said Sora, "What was up with our sounding like each other?"

"Well," said Ken, "in order to gather the data needed for each duplicate, your minds had to be scanned in simultaneously in order to save time. Sometimes some of that data gathering temporarily switched your mental states."

"Alright, then," said Sora, "How about you tell me what the deal is with us being hackers... hmm?"

"Because that's what you are, stupid," said Ken.

Sora climbed on top of him, straddling his waist. She grabbed him by his jumpsuits collar and stuck her face right in his.

"You care to repeat that?!" she yelled.

Ken wasn't really scared, he was just REALLY ticked off. The fact that such a simpleton was making him feel like a helpless weakling was just too much for him.

"Well??!!!" she yelled.

"This digital world is a fantastic virtual reality that I and I alone have been blessed with. You all somehow broke into MY computer and are trying to take over! These digital creatures were put here with the sole purpose of being my servants. It's just like in Pokémon. My goal here is to capture all of them and make them do what I tell them to. Yet you hackers insist that they all have feelings and think I'm cruel. None of this really exists!! This is just some game. A brilliant game of strategy."

Sora stared at him in complete shock and disbelief.

"You've got to be kidding me!" said Sora, "This isn't some little make believe world, you moron!! These 'creatures,' as you put it, ARE real. They've even come to the real world with us before. How could computer images be brought into the real world in three dimensions and given physical form if they didn't really exist?!"

Ken thought about this for a second.

"You're lying," he proclaimed.

"For Pete's sake!" yelled Sora, "Remember when your soccer team played against Tais? We had our digimon with us in the stands."

"Don't try to trick me," said Ken, "those were just stuffed toys."

"They were our digimon in their in-training forms!" said Sora, "They're like that when they enter the real world. You might have known about that if you had just taken Wormmon into the human world once or twice."

Ken was speechless. He wasn't too sure if she was telling him the truth. He enjoyed playing the role of evil emperor. It was an emotional outlet that wasn't available to him in the real world.

"You're lying!" he shouted.

Sora leaned in and kissed him on the lips. She slid her arms around his neck as she kissed him tenderly. She moved her head away.

"Did you feel that?" she asked softly.

".....Yes," said Ken, surprised.

"If this world weren't real you couldn't feel anything," said Sora.

It was such a simple concept, yet it made perfect sense. Ken couldn't believe that he had overlooked something so obvious. This really WAS a real world.

Sora looked into Ken's eyes. They were filled with sorrow.

"This IS a real place," he said, realizing his mistake, "And I've hurt many innocent digimon, haven't I?"

"I'm afraid so," said Sora.

"I'm sorry.....," said Ken, a teardrop falling out of his eyes, spilling onto the bed.

Sora knocked the clamp onto the floor. She could tell that he was really sorry. She pulled out the key to the chains and undid them. Ken got up and sat on the side of the bed, head in his hands. Sora put her arm around his shoulder.

"What can I do to make up for what I've done?" asked Ken.

"You could start with an apology," said Sora.

"I'm sorry," said Ken, "I'm sorry for everything I've done and I'm sorry that I hurt so many people. I let my power consume me. It's my fault."

"That's a good start," said Sora.

"I'm also very sorry to you too, Sora," said Ken, "It's my fault that you and your friends had to go through so much trouble."

"That's okay, Ken," said Sora, forgiving him.

".........Why did you use a kiss to show me the truth?" he asked, just curious.

"Huh?? Oh! Uh... Well..," said Sora blushing.

"What, do you like me or something?" he asked.

"Well, you ARE pretty cute," said Sora.

"Oh," said Ken, depressed.

"What's wrong?" asked Sora.

"Lots of girls like me for what I look like," he said.

"That's probably because you never let anyone get close enough to you to find out what you're really like," said Sora.

Ken looked away. Sora moved closer to him.

"Will you let ME?" she asked.

Ken looked back at her. Ken and Soras faces moved closer together. They embraced, locked in a kiss. She ran her hands through his hair as she planted gentle kisses on his mouth. Ken wrapped his arms around her body, holding her close as he kissed back. They both fell down back onto the bed. . . . .

He laid beneath her in nothing but his Digimon Emepror outfit. His hands touching her waste. . Sora allowed Ken to pull her shirt down over her shoulder.

He kissed Sora on the lips as hard as he could.

Ken and Sora continued to grip each other, finally falling down onto the floor.

"How do you feel now?" asked Sora.

"Better," replied Ken, kissing her again.

He suddenly stopped and frantically looked at the clock. A little over an hour had passed.

"Uh oh," said Ken, nervously.

"What?" asked Sora.

"The 2s are loose!" he cried
