The Digimon Ruler watched as the Gotsumon who was too tired to mine for rocks got turned back into a DigiEgg. She smirked. "Everything is under control. Control. Yes….control. Nothing else matters except being in control. And soon…I'll be in control of all of File Island, and then…the entire Digital World!" She said before letting out a villainous laugh.
Soon, the Gotsumon had gathered seven carts full of stones. The Digimon Ruler put her hands over the stones and began chanting something in a foreign language. Before long, the stones began to glow red. Emily then went from cart to cart doing this, putting her hands on the rocks and chanting some incantation over them, soon all seven mine carts full of rocks had become red stones.
She then turned and looked over the edge of the mountain road they were standing on. One could see the entirety of File Island from where they were. She placed her hands on her hips and said. "Now let's make some deliveries." She said.
A little while later, the Gostumon had unloaded the stones in a cave-like room that looked like an underground mind. The Gostumon turned around and gazed at the blonde caped girl, their eyes red and their facial expressions blank. They were clearly exausted, but like good little drones, they were awaiting their Ruler's next order. The Digimon Ruler walked over to a wall and put her hand on it. It turned out to be a secret panel which she slid back, revealing what looked like a safe underneath. She put in a code to unlock the safe. She opened the safe and brought out a book. The book looked ancient. It had writing on it that wasn't English, Japanese, Chinese, or even DigiCode. In fact, the alphabetic letters on the book weren't like anything seen before. Yet somehow, The Digimon Ruler could read them. The blonde, sunglasses wearing, caped girl walked over to the cart of ordinary rocks and opened the book. She then began chanting something in an unknown language. In a matter of minutes, the ordinary stones began to vibrate. Then, reddish colored energy flowed from the book and surrounded The Digimon Ruler. Her body glowed brightly in a red aura as she continued to chant. Then, the red energy started to flow into the rocks. After a minute, the rocks became Red Stones! No longer resembling regular rocks, they now sparkled and were somewhat transparant like rubies.
The Digimon Ruler stopped chanting and put the book down to the ground right near her boots. She walked over to the cart of Red Stones and grabbed a handful of them. "My Red Stones….my precious Red Stones. You're so good at controlling Digimon, yet as long as those children have those pesky Digivices, then even if the Digimon I'm controlling beat them, they can still free my subjects from your control." She said. The Digimon Ruler then took out a Brown D-Power from off of the belt she wore. She gently placed the digivice on top of the cart of Red Stones. Then she picked up the book she had laid down and began flipping through it. "I need a way to circumvent the effects of my enemie's digivices." She thought aloud.
A little distance behind her was a Lopmon, the same Lopmon that had accompanied her that night to spy on Evander and his Digimon partners as they gallivanted through File City. Lopmon had a worried look on her face. "Emily. Is controlling all Digimon really this important to you? I mean, I know you want to rule and all, but, that book just exhudes an evil presence." Lopmon said. Emily quickly turned around and grabbed the whip she kept on her belt (the other side from where she kept her digivice). She looked furious. "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me by that name!?" She shouted in anger. Emily (or The Digimon Ruler) whipped the Lopmon several times, causing the little brown Digimon to cry out in pain every time she was struck. "Emily! Is! The Name! Of a weakling! A pathetic weakling everyone pushes around! I! Am! NOT! THAT! GIRL! ANYMORE!" She shouted, continuing to whip Lopmon, her voice getting louder as she ranted. Lopmon was now covered in whip marks and welts. Lopmon stood up looking a bit shaken. Tears were in her eyes. "Yes. I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry." She said before turning around and leaving the room.
The Digimon Ruler then went back to flipping through her book. She finally came to a page she was looking for. It was a special added chapter by the author. Emily read the page aloud. "The powers that be in my world have sent human children after me to destroy me. They are no ordinary human children. They have Digimon with them, and with the aid of a technical square-like device which they call 'digivices', they've been able to negate the effects of my Red Stones. Thankfully, I've come up with a spell to negate that. All one needs is a digivice of their own to place in close proximity to the Red Stones. If you haven't made Red Stones yet, chant the spell to make them first. Then, repeat this spell after me."
A couple of hours later, Emily was walking through her base. She came to a place that looked like a small apartment. There was a couch, a TV, a kitchen, and a door which lead to the bathroom. It made sense that she would have one of these in her evil lair. She did live here after all. Emily took off her sunglasses and put them down on the coffee table in front of the couch. When she did, two glowing red irises could be seen. Emily went into the bathroom to take a shower. As she suds up her hair. She had a sudden flashback of a large man slamming her to the ground and yelling "You're just a kid! You have no say! You have no voice! Just do what you're told!" Emily shuddered and grit her teeth. A bad memory. But then…a smile broke out on her face. "That was then. This is now." She said softly, looking down as water rushed over her head.
File City…Jijimon's House….Jijimon's Base….
Jijimon's underground base had many rooms. There was one large room that looked like a laboratory, where many Digimon were working hard to gather intel and strategies to combat what was threatening the Digital World, there was the library where Jijimon kept all of his books (Evander and company were sitting here conversing with Jijimon), and of course, there was the training ground where Yukio Oikawa had trained Mario and Flora with the marble race. This Oikawa was not the same one that housed MaloMyotismon in the universe of the 02 kids. This was one of his multiverse variants. Yet he still met a tragic end when trying to help the Digidestined that preceded Evander's (and even Regen's group).
Back at Jijimon's underground base, some Agumons were filing paperwork. This paperwork contained everything they knew about The Digimon Ruler so far, both what Jijimon and the council learned on their own as well as what they learned from Evander, Jessica, and Zai. Jijimon had just called one of them to the study earlier and gave him the info that Evander and Jessica conveyed. "So, got any plans tomorrow?" One of the employed Agumons asked the other. This Agumon looked down at the ground. He appeared to be worried about something. "Just….going to come in like usual." He said weakly. They were both clocking out for the day. The first Agumon looked over to the second with a concerned look on his face. "Anything wrong, buddy? You know you can talk to me about anything." He said. The second Agumon realized he must have been wearing his emotions on his sleeve, so he tried to fake a smile. "What? No. Nothing's wrong. I'm just tired after a long day of work. Double shifts are killers!" He lied.
The second Agumon then left the small office, and entered into the laboratory area. He then walked passed his fellow Digi-Employees typing away hard at their computers, writing stuff down, and other important things. Then he turned right and entered a second door; to the study where the Digidestined were conversing with Jijimon. Jijimon turned to him and said "Are you done for the day?" The little Agumon nodded. "Yeah. It's 9:00 already." Jijimon then did a little wave. "Well, I hope you have a good night. We'll see you in the morning." The little Agumon then looked at Jijimon and then towards Evander's Agumon, a look of guilt washing over his face. "Umm…yeah. See you guys tomorrow." The Agumon said. Then he ran up the stairs and left.
Outside, the little Agumon looked like he was going to burst into tears. "Jijimon…Augie. I'm so sorry." the little Agumon said softly, trying to keep from being too loud. Just then, a Lopmon emerged from the darkness. It was the Lopmon that worked for The Digimon Ruler. She was still covered in injuries from the whipping that she had gotten earlier. "So this is Jijimon's house?" Lopmon said, surveying the small cottage of a house that was before her. The employed Agumon nodded. "Yes. And as I told you before, his base of operations is underground. Don't let the size of this house fool you. The underground part of massive." The Agumon replied. "That's good. Then you and your family will be spared." Lopmon replied. The Agumon was silent for a moment, but then spoke up. "Why is your master doing this? She's human isn't she? She must have a digivice and a Digimon partner. Isn't she supposed to protect the Digital World, not enslave it?" He asked trepidly. "The two are not mutually exclusive. I suppose if all Digimon bow to her will, there won't be any fighting amongst each other anymore. She can make everyone get along." Lopmon said. Though, she didn't believe a word she was saying. "Actually, I think Emily just longs to finally have control over her life." She thought. Lopmon couldn't bring her to believe that her digidestined partner being in control would make everything better. After all, so many were suffering at her hands already. But she felt powerless. Without Emily, she couldn't even digivolve. There was no possibility of a revolt. If she tried, Emily could have her terminated. And although they formed a bond when they first met, at this stage, Lopmon wouldn't put it passed her. She figured she had no choice but to continue working for her and hope either that the Digidestined could defeat her or that somehow Emily's reign would be as benevolent as she often tried to make it out to be.
"But it's not fair! We should have a say in how we live our lives! If all our actions are determined-" The Agumon began to say before being cut off by Lopmon.
"Enough. I'm not here to argue. Just tell me if there's another way into this base. No doubt we can't storm through the front door." Lopmon said.
"There's one in Overdell, just as you're about to enter Tropical Jungle. It's disguised as an ordinary bolder. It will open if you say 'Yo, it's me. Open up.' I didn't choose the password." The Agumon said.
Lopmon then turned around and began walking away. "Thank you. You've been a great help." Lopmon said. Lopmon was wincing with every step from her injuries. Every step to Jijimon's house was agony.
The Digimon Ruler's Lair….
Lopmon made her way back to The Digimon Ruler's lair. Emily had gotten out of the shower and was wearing another of her Digimon Ruler attire. "It's a good thing I have several copies of this uniform. The one I took off before my shower was rank. Well, hiking up and down a mountain does work up a sweat." She said out loud. Lopmon walked up to The Digimon Ruler lounging on her couch. "Em-My queen! I have excellent news!" Lopmon said, addressing her partner formally. "What it is?" The Digimon Ruler asked. "An informant from within Jijimon's company has told me of a secret passageway by which you can enter into their base without being detected." Lopmon said. The Digimon Ruler sat up, leaned forward towards the little brown bunny Digimon, and lowered her sunglasses, revealing her glowing red eyes. She looked intrigued. "Really? Do tell!" She said. "It's in Overdell, where you took control over a Dobermon. The passageway looks just like an ordinary boulder, but if you say the password 'Yo, it's me! Open up!', the path will be revealed." Lopmon explained. The Digimon Ruler grit her teeth a little. "That Dobermon. He's a strong willed one. My hope was to use him to inform me of the whereabouts of Jijimon's base. But I could barely get him to perform a single action. He willfully put himself in the way of that BlackGatomon's Cat's Eye Hypnotism just so he could give away some of my secrets." The Digimon Ruler said, sounding frustrated.
But her anger turned into a devilish smile. "But now I'll make him pay for defying me. Him and that old white furball of a Digimon he loyally serves." Lopmon frowned. Emily got up and began to walk out the door.
Jijimon's House…..
"What if you're the Digimon Ruler?" Syn asked Tameron.
Tameron began laughing. First, quietly and slowly, and then louder. And evilly. He laughed and laughed. "No." said Tameron as he stopped laughing.
"I'd rather take Tameron than let an idiot trying to rule the digital world have him..." Zai muttered, as Syn snickered about it, "...I'm not serious..." Zai rolled her eyes, and shook her head.
"You're daddy and Zai would get along well! The second Zai and I left here, she tried taking apart her digivice and working on things!" Syn shouted to Tameron,
"I would have been able to fix it to how I wanted it if a certain feline digimon didn't eat my plans...." Zai sighed, "anyways, I don't have one, so I'm assuming I'm in the group of 'lacking scanners'"
Evander, Jessica and the Digimon went to sleep. "My 9th day in the Digital World is tomorrow." Evander said under his breath. Tameron walked over to Nanomon and laid down beside him. Not long after that he fell asleep as well. Jjimon is silent. "...Taking a nap as priority over what I have to say..." Jijimon sighs. "Okay, I got an idea. Everyone get some sleep. I'll finish in the morning when you all are ready to listen." Jijimon walks away, looking a bit angry.
After the kids had gone to bed, Jijimon walked down the tunnel that Dobermon had come through. The one leading from Overdell to the base in File City. Jijimon was a little perterbed at the lack of an attention span some of the kids and Digimon seemed to have. "That Evander can't sit still for more than five minutes. And Jessica just seems to follow him along like a puppy dog wherever he goes. And their Digimon are no better. Aki would have never run off and abandoned her friends. Not even once." Jijimon muttered under his breath as he walked. Then he stopped and sighed. "I need to calm down. They are just kids. And it is late. Heck, maybe I'm more tired than I realize. After all, I am a thousand years old!" Jijimon said before letting out a brief chuckle.
Suddenly, Jijimon saw a dark cloud begin to fill the tunnel. The tunnel had been lit by torches, but this myasthma was beginning to make everything dark. Jijimon began swiping at the myasthma with his large clawlike cane to wave it away. "I don't like this. This isn't smoke or a fart. It's…evil!" Jijimon said as he continued to wave his cane.
Then two figures came out of the black fog that was gradually taking over the tunnel. They were laughing evilly. The first was The Digimon Ruler herself. She had long, blonde wavy hair, a black shirt that exposed her midriff, a black cape that curled around the collar area, a black skirt, and knee high boots. The other was none other than Devimon; a large humanoid black creature that had black, tattered wings. Jijimon looked shocked. "Oh no! It can't be! Devimon! And…." He said before turning his gaze towards the ominous teenage girl. "Are you….?" The girl took her sunglasses off to reveal her red, glowing irises. "I am. The Digimon Ruler. Nice to finally meet you, Jijimon." She said in a condescending tone.
"I don't know how you found this place, but I won't let you pass." Jijimon said.
"And what's a feeble old fool like yourself going to do to stop us?" Devimon asked. Devimon had multiple red marks all over his body.
"I may be old, but I'm not feeble." Jijimon said before taking a step forward, his hand firmly gripping his clawlike cane. "Those children and their Digimon partners aren't yet strong enough to handle a threat like you. But let's see you handle a Mega level veteren." Jijimon continued. Jijimon tried to sound confident, but the truth was that he wasn't sure if he could handle Devimon on his own. If he could, he would have been on the frontlines with Regen, Brian, Kari, and their Digimon taking him on back in Toy Town when Evander, Jessica, Mario, Flora, and Zai first arrived in the Digital World. This Devimon was one that a previous Digidestined team had defeated many years ago. Somehow he was back and far surpassed the power of a Champion Digimon.
Devimon lunged at Jijimon, his claw extended. "Death Claw!" Devimon shouted as evil black, lightning-like energy surrounded his claw. He swiped at Jijimon, but Jijimon parried with his cane. Devimon smirked. "You've got good reflexes for someone as old as you." He said. The two Digimon then jumped back a few feet. Jijimon prepared his counter attack. He ran towards Devimon and swung his cane. When Jijimon swung his cane, the large cat paw at the end opened up. Sharp claws could be seen extending from the end of each toe bean. "Hang On Death!" Jijimon shouted. Before Jijimon's attack could make contact, Devimon held out his arm and opened the palm of his hand. "Death Hand!" Devimon shouted as a blast of unholy energy came out of his hand. Jijimon got hit with attack and was sent flying backwards, hollering! He hit the floor a few times as he rolled back before finally coming to a halt. Jijimon struggled to stand up. He tried to his cane as his aid. "That….was….a powerful…attack." Jijimon said through the pain. Before Jijimon could stand back up fully, Devimon was on his again! "Death Claw! Death Claw! Death Claw!" Devimon shouted as he slashed Jijimon repeatedly with his claws. Jijimon cried out in pain as he took damage from the consecutive strikes. After this, Devimon took a few steps back. "Nice work, Devimon." The Digimon Ruler said as she twirled one strand of her hair with her right index finger.
Devimon paused for a second, interested in seeing what the old mon would do. Jijimon just stood there for a few seconds completely still. Emily raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What's wrong, Jijimon? Is it nap time already?" She taunted. No answer. Devimon briefly turned around to look at Emily. Devimon said "I think that standing is all he has the strength to do right no-" but he was cut off by an attack from behind! "Hang On Death!" Jijimon took a swipe at Devimon and actually made contact! The cat claw at the end of his staff/cane gripped Devimon's head and crackled with a light gray energy. Devimon grabbed the claw and pried it free from his head. He suddenly felt a lot weaker than he did before. He turned around quickly and looked Jijimon in the face. "Never turn your back on your enemy." Jijimon said calmly.
"Why….do I…feel so much weaker…all of a sudden?" Devimon asked. "My attack, Hang On Death, rapidly ages whoever my cane strikes. It won't take too many more blows from this attack before you wither away into data particles." Jijimon replied. Devimon growled. "Trying to end this quickly, are we?" He said. "Well, there are children sleeping upstairs. If we make too much of a ruckus, we'll wake them up. Jijimon said.
Jijimon and Devimon then lunged at each other and began attacking furiously. "Death Claw!" Devimon shouted, swiping at Jijimon with his black hand which ended in red claws and which were crackling with black, evil electrictiy. Jijimon parried the attack with his staff. Devimon kept a close eye on his stafff, looking out for that deadly Hang On Death move. But then, Jijimon surprised him by using a completely different attack. "Gentle Punch!" Jijimon shouted. Jijimon had gathered energy into his fist and then launched at at full force towards Devimon's gut! Jijimon's fist made contact with Devimon's gut and destroyed one of the several Red Marks that The Digimon Ruler had put on him! Devimon felt the wind get knocked out of him! He felt like he was going to throw up! Jijimon continued the attack by throwing another "Gentle Punch!" Devimon blocked this attack with his own hand, and then retaliated with a "Death Claw!" Jijimon dodged this attack by jumping back.
Jijimon then put the tip of his stafff to the ground and made a hand sign reminiscent of a Ninja using ninjutsu. "Gaurd Stick!" Jijimon shouted, waving his staff horizontally twice. Just then, parts of the ground which made up the tunnel floor broke up from the floor and levitated in mid air around Jijimon for a second before hurdling in Devimon's and The Digimon Ruler's direction. The Digimon Ruler watched in terror as a huge piece of the floor flew toward her direction! If it hit her, it would surely kill her! "Help me!" She cried out. Devimon turned and flew over to The Digimon Ruler, shielding her with his back. "AHH!!!" Devimon shouted as he was bombarded with pieces of earth and stone. Some of the debris that hit Devimon was quite large, some of them small, and some of them medium sized. Obviously, the biggest ones hurt the most.
Devimon was facing The Digimon Ruler when he shielded her, so he turned around and looked at Devimon with an angry facial expression. Jijimon chuckled a bit. "I would never try to hurt a child. I knew that if The Digimon Ruler were in trouble, you would step in to be her shield, taking the damage in her stead." Jijimon said. The Digimon Ruler grit her teeth and growled. "Don't call me a child!" She shouted angrily. Although she was 14, she hated being called a child. To her, it was an insult. "A mere child cannot take command of a god." She said, gesturing towards Devimon. Jijimon chuckled. "I meant no offense." Jijimon said.
Devimon then flapped his wings, sending multiple laser beams out them, "Laser Wing!" Devimon shouted. Jijimon parried all of the laser beams with his staff. Jijimon then lunged at Devimon. "Gentle Punch!" Jijimon shouted, channeling a bunch of energy into his fist before striking. This time, Jijimon struck Devimon in the face. Devimon didn't dodge on purpose, specifically to draw Jijimon in close. "Death Claw!" Devimon shouted as he attacked. Jijimon bent over backwards and just narrowly avoided Devimon's swipe. Jijjimon then took advantage of his physcial position to do a couple of back flips in order to get some distance between them.
Jijimon then put the tip of his stafff to the ground and made a hand sign reminiscent of a Ninja using ninjutsu. "Gaurd Stick!" Jijimon shouted, waving his staff horizontally twice. Just then, parts of the ground which made up the tunnel floor broke up from the floor and levitated in mid air around Jijimon for a second before hurdling in Devimon's and The Digimon Ruler's direction. Just like last time, Devimon went in and shielded his master. "Ahh!" Devimon shouted. Devimon then turned around angrily and shouted "Stop playing dirty!" Jijimon shook his head. "This isn't a school yard brawl. Lives are on the line. Besides, you're not exactly known for playing fair yourself." Jijimon said.
"Laser Wing!" Devimon shouted, flapping his wings and sending multiple red lasers from his wings.
"Gaurd Stick!" Jijimon shouted, causing pieces of the floor to come up and shield him from the laser blasts. Jijimon used the remaining pieces of floor as projectives with which to attack Devimon again. These weren't very big, so Devimon deflected them all with his claws.
"Laser Wing!" Devimon shouted, flapping his wings and sending multiple red lasers from his wings.

Jijimon looked at his surroundings. The floor and walls of the tunnel had been broken up pretty severely. "I can't continue using Guard Stick. If I do, there won't be much of a tunnel floor left. Not that I wouldn't mind redecorating. I mean, I did want to replace this dirt floor with tiles. However, I worry about the strutural integrity of this tunnel. I don't want to cause a collapse." Jijimon thought to himself.
Devimon then flew into the air upwards and then came downwards in Jijimon's direction. Jijimon swung his staff in Devimon's direction. However, at the last second, Devimon managed to swerve and get behind Jijimon! Devimon tried to swipe at Jijimon with his claw, but Jijimon quickly grabbed his hand and slammed him into the wall! Devimon got up and then began a barrage of attacks. "Death Claw! Death Claw! Death Claw! Laser Wing!" He shouted as he attacked several times consecutively. Jijimon jumped back and dodged all of the death claws. However, he was unable to dodge the Laser Wing because, at that point, his back was against one of the sides of the tunnel! He got hit with the lasers at point blank range! Jijimon cried out in pain. Jijimon collapsed to one knee. Devimon grinned at him, obviously taking pleasure in the elderly Digimon's pain. Devimon walked over to Jijimon and grabbed him by the head. He picked Jijimon up and held him by the head. "It's over, Jijimon. For you…and for those pesky children." Devimon said. Jijimon chuckled a little, his chuckling quickly turning into coughing. Devimon had a quizzical expression on his face. "Just what is so funny?" Devimon asked. "You're in close." Jijimon said. Devimon's eyes widened. In the heat of battle, he had forgotten. "Hang On Death!" Jijimon shouted as he swung his staff/cane at Devimon! Devimon quickly let go of Jijimon and jumped back! He just narrowly avoided Jijimon's attack! Devimon grit his teeth. "Darn! I forgot about that blasted attack of yours!" Devimon said. "Then you obviously have a short memory." Jijimon retorted, now lying on the ground partially on his side.
Devimon then kicked Jijimon several times in the abdomin. At one point, Jijimon grabbed Devimon's leg and slung him into the wall behind them! Jijimon then got up and turned around. He swung his staff down onto Devimon's back while Devimon was down. "Hang On Death!" Jijimon shouted. Devimon shouted as the cat claw at the end of Jijimon's staff gripped him in the back, grayish electrical energy engulfing him. Devimon's flesh began to get wrinkly, like a wash cloth that had just come out out of the washing machine.
Jijimon then stopped his attack and began walking over to The Digimon Ruler. He was limping with each step. "Child, please….tell me. Why are you…doing all of this?" Jijimon asked. He was in pain with every step he took. Emily smirked and put her hands on her hips. "What? You want to know my 'villainous backstory'?" She said in a sarcastic tone, using scare quotes for "Villanous backstory." Jijimon stopped walking and propped himself up with his staff. "It's just that….you're a Digidestined. I know it." Jijimon replied before pointing at her. "I see that Digivice strapped to your belt while I was fighting." Jijimon replied. Jijimon then put his finger down and continued. "I know you must have a partner….and that you were called here to fight against a great evil." Emily scoffed, but kept her hands by her hips. "Lopmon has rambled on about that nonsense too. Destiny this, save the world that. I don't believe a word of it. But even if there is some boogyman who threatens your world, you needn't worry. I'll make him my slave along with the rest of you." Emily replied. She then took a step forward and clenched her fist. "I'm Emily Cage. And I control all things." She said. "Lopmon….is that…you partner?" Jijimon said.
Jijimon suddenly felt sharp claws dig into his back. "Touch Of Evil!" Devimon shouted as black lightning engufled Jijimon's body. Jijimon fell to the ground, completely spent. A battered Devimon was now on his feet, standing over Jijimon's body, a look of triumph beaming from his face. "Didn't you say to never turn your back on an enemy? I thought you were supposed to be a veteren." Devimon said smugly.
Devimon raised his claw, readying himself to deal the finishing blow. "It's over!" Devimon said. Emily held her hand out. "No! I told you before. The plan is not to kill him." She scolded. Emily then walked over to the two Digimon and knelt down, looking Jijimon in the eye. She reached into her satchel on her waist, on the opposite side of where her Digivice was clipped. She brought out a Red Stone. Emily took off her sunglasses and looked Jijimon in the eyes. "You're powerful. You actually gave Devimon a challenge. That's surprising. When I revived him, I used my magic to power him up." She said. She then grinned, her expression becoming like that of a sadistic psycho. "This just makes me so excited! You'll be even stronger than he is when I Red Stone you!" She said. Jijimon watched in horror. There was nothing he could do. Emily touched the Red Stone she was holding to Jijimon's forehead. When she did this, the red from the stone faded, leaving the beautiful gem looking like an ordinary rock. It was like the red had been sucked out of the gem and was transferred to Jijimon's forehead. Emily dropped the stone and stood up. She began laughing psychotically. "There isn't a single entity alive powerful enough to stand up to me!" She said.
Emily then used the power of some other Red Stones she had in her satchel to completely heal Jijimon's wounds. When Jijimon had regained his strength, he stood up and looked at Emily, appearing to be in a trance. Emily grinned. "Tomorrow morning…kill the digidestined!" She commanded. "Yes…my queen." Jijimon said monotonously.
