The Light Shinning Through
In The Dimmed Future


I don't own Digimon or anything in common with it.


Chapter 1:
It Seemed Like A Ordinary Day


The city of Odihba was a calm and peaceful town every since the DigiDestined
saved the world from MaloMyotismon. All the DigiDestined were now living average
lives and not having a care in the world. Unfortunately, one of them has not been able to a normal day in a while.

In her families' apartment Kari Kamiya was tussling and turning in her bed and
having some kind of dream.

Kari's dream...

"Where am I?" asked Kari as she was in what looked like a destroyed and deserted
city. "Is anyone out there?" Instead of getting a call back she heard something coming
towards her. After a free seconds she could see it was a group of digimon. But for some reason they were different. Their colors were different and they had red eyes.

Realizing that these digimon Kari saw that something was wrong with these
digimon and noticing that see didn't have Gatomon with here she decided that she should better get away. Even though she was running as she could the digimon kept gaining on her. Finally she happen to trip and fall to the ground. The digimon were quickly on top of her. Just when they were about to step on her when someone grabbed her and got her out of harms way.

After the mystery man moved Kari to a save place he quickly went back to the
digimon. The man drew out a sword and quickly went through the digimon. Only after
mere minutes only the mystery man was standing while the digmon were now on the
ground and bursting into data.

Kari just looked on in wonder as how a how was able to take down so many
digimon with just a sword. She still couldn't figure out who the man was since he was
covered up by a cape and his face was completely covered up except for his eyes. Finally the mystery man walked slowly back to Kari while checking side to side to seemingly to make sure their wasn't anymore digimon. When he finally when he was only a few steps in front of her he looked at Kari. Apparently after seeing her the man stepped back in shock.

"No it can't be. There is no way." said the man to himself. "Uh, excuse me but
what is going on?" The man looked back at Kari, "Kari? Is that really you Kari?" Even
though Kari was getting a little frighten by the man's actions she looked into the man eyes and for some strange reason she felt like she seen them before and felt that she could trust the man. "Yes, I am Kari. Who are you and how do you know who I am?" Instead of answering Kari, the man took a step back and reached for his hood and appeared he was going to remove it but suddenly everything was covered in white.

End of Kari's dream. Back to real life...

"Kari. Kari. Come on wake up." Kari finally opened her eyes and saw that it was
her friend and digimon partner Gatomon waking her up. "Alright, alright. I am awake
Gatomon." "It is about time. I have been trying to wake you up for the past five minutes. Your mom told me to wake you up so you won't be late for school. So hurry up."

Immediately after hearing that Kari quickly went to her closet and her school
uniform. (You know, the same one that Sora wore in season 2). She then quickly went
into the bathroom to brush her teeth and comb her hair. Then after saying goodbye to her parents she grabbed her school bag and headed for school.

As Kari was walking to school she looked around and saw that many things have
changed since both the real and the digital world was saved from MaloMyotismon.
Everyone knew about the digital world and everyone had his or her own digimon to call
their own. Also life has changed for the DigiDestined as well.

Tai and the older DigiDestined with their digimon have left and were now in
college while her and the younger DigiDestined were now in high school. Yolei was now
a senior and has been dating Ken for a while. Also after the final battle Ken started to act like a normal person and even stopped playing soccer saying that his heart wasn't into it anymore. Even though Ken still went to a different school then the others they always kept in contact with him. Cody was now a freshmen. through the years he was able to loosen up and not be so serious. He has also won numerous competitions in kendo. While her, T.K. and Davis were now juniors. Davis continues to play soccer and has been declared one of the best in the entire school league since Ken quite. Same can be said for T.K. as he lead the school's basketball teams to numerous championships. While Kari is still into taking pictures. She even had some of her pictures published in local newspapers and magazines.

Before she knew it she reached the school with time to spare. As she came to the
entrance to the school she saw that the others were waiting for her. "Hey Kari. What
took you so long? I thought that you were going to be late." "Don't worry you guys I
just slept in late. That is all." She decided that she shouldn't tell them about her dream
right then. After talking with them for a few seconds Kari realized that someone was
missing. "Hey guys. Aren't we missing someone?" "Oh you mean Davis. He is at the
soccer field playing a quick game before school starts." answered Yolei. "Hey, why don't we go see him play." "That is a good idea Cody. Lets see how good Davis really is." replied Yolei even though all of them knew that Davis had improved so much that he could probably beat them by myself, even with Ken on their side.

While they were walking to the field Kari kept thinking about the dream she had
earlier. For some reason she couldn't get rid of the look of the man's eyes. She felt like she those eyes before. "Kari? Are you okay?" questioned T.K.. "Huh? Yeah, I am
alright T.K.. I am just still a bit out of it." "Alright. I am just worried about you." Kari
grabbed his hand with her own and slightly lend on him. "I know you are T.K.. Thank
you."

When they finally arrived at the soccer field they saw that many other kids there as
well. Kari looked at the field and saw Davis with the ball. She noticed that Davis no
longer wore the goggles Tai gave him. He told them that he didn't fell right wearing them
since they were no longer defending the digital world anymore but still had the same
spikey hairdo he always had. Kari could see that he was playing a one on one game with someone that she didn't know. The kid apparently was bigger and stronger than Davis but Davis seemingly didn't mind this. In fact by the look on his face he was actual enjoyed this challenge.

They founded out the score was tied four to four and they were about to set up for
the last point on the match. As soon as the signal to go went off Davis immediately got
control of the ball and was on the other side of the field before the kid had time to react.
Davis quickly went through the field as he does when he is leading the school soccer team. As quickly as it started it ended as Davis kicked the ball hard into the net giving him the goal and the win.

Everyone cheered for Davis recent win. Especially from the girls of the school.
Ever since the final battle with MaloMyotismon and life went back to normal. Except now Davis had become the man that all the girls at school wanted. After waving to all the people who watched Davis walked over to the kid he was playing against and stuck out his hand out to him which the kid returned as he shook hands with him. When he was leaving the field he was flocked over by many of the girls who were telling him how good he was. Looking for a way to escape he saw Kari and the others waving at him. He quickly apologized to the girls and said that he had something he needed to ask his friends.

"Great game Davis. You really proved how good you are." "Thanks Cody. But I
wouldn't say that it was easy. That kid was really tough. I am just glad that I was able to get away from those girls. It seems that their everytime I win a game their are more and more girls flocking around me. Not that is a bad things and all." he replied as he scratched the back of his head and giving one of his happy go lucky girns.

Even though through out the years that Davis had become more less hot headed
and stubborn he still had the same amount of energy and silliness that he had back then. "I know what you mean Davis. Girls acted the same way towards me ever since I became the star of the basketball team." replied T.K.. "Your right about that T.K.. But you are more used to it more than I am. Besides, from what I can see right now their is only one girl you are interested in." mentioned Davis as he motioned to T.K. and Kari holding hands. After figuring out what he was talking about both T.K. and Kari let go of each others hands and immediately blushed a deep red.

Despite the fact that everyone knew that T.K. and Kari were official a couple both
of them always blushed when someone mentioned something involving their relationship. They hope to keep it from Yolei, Cody and especially Davis. They were worried about the reaction they would get from Davis after hearing it. But to their amazement when they finally decided to tell them about their relationship it was Davis who was the first to congratulate them. He took them that they had nothing to worry about since he been over his silly crush over Kari for a while and hoped that they remained a happy couple for a long time. But then he leaned closer to T.K. and whispered in his ear, "But if you ever hurt her, you will have more to worry about than what Tai or Gatomon would do to you. Understand?" T.K. just nodded slowly. He was a little worried about what Davis had said. Kari couldn't help but laugh when he told her what Davis whispered to him. She told him that he wanted her to be save and he had nothing to worry about.

"So are you guys ready for another fun filled day of school." joked Yolei. "Yeah
right. Me, T.K. and Davis have a math test today." "What? You mean that test is today? I am so going to failed that test." "Don't worry Davis. You'll pass that test. Hopefully." "Oh thanks for the encouragement Kari. I think I will pass that test. Just barely." Everyone couldn't help but laugh at how Davis was able to change his attitude a whole 180 degrees so quickly. The bell quickly rang signal the beginning of school. They all separated since they all had different classes first period.

End of school...

Kari and the rest of the group meet up at the entrance to the school. The day went
rather smoothly. All except when she and T.K. were shocked when they got back their
scores on their math test. Both of them did fairly well on the test but were in total
shocked when Davis showed them his score. He had out scored both of them. Davis was in complete shock. Not only did he actually passed the test, but he actually did better than both Kari and T.K..

She waited patiently for them. Yolei and Cody shortly arrived but she started to
get a little upset that Davis and T.K. were taking so long. "What is taking them so long? It shouldn't have them this long to get ready for home." "I don't know. I remember the last time I saw them is when they were headed to the locker room." As they waited they heard a familiar sound. They looked towards the school and saw Davis and T.K. running towards them. No of them understood until they saw that they were being chased some of their loyal female fans.

No really stopping both Davis and T.K. ran past them and continue run. The girls
quickly got to the entrance. Not wanting to see either Davis and T.K. suffer anymore Kari pointed to the opposite direction that her two friends left. When they were sure that the boy crazed girls were gone they went off to find their friends, knowing exactly where they would be.

****

As they figured Davis and T.K. were at the park. The same place that they always
go when they tried to hide from the crazed female fans.

"Oh man, I glad that all that soccer I do helps me run away from those girls." "I
know what you mean. But you have to admit that they are getting catching up to us."
Yeah, I think their is only two things we can do. We can either find a better way to get
away." "What is the other thing?" "The other we can stop running and give them what
they want." "No thank you. You knew that me and Kari are together." "I knew. But
wouldn't you like to see her reaction if she saw you enjoying that all your females fans
were all over you?" "It would be interesting, but I rather not face the wrath of her, Tai,
Gatomon or you if she got really upset with me." "I am glad you know what to be afraid
of T.K.." replied a voice. Both of them turned around and saw it was Kari and the others
right behind her.

"Your right Kari. However, I pretty sure that those girls know me and you are a
couple but they continue to chase me." "Maybe it is because they think they deserve you more than Kari." said Davis. "That kinds of reminds me of how you once acted when T.K. and Kari were always hanged around." said Yolei with a smirk on her face. "That is all in the past. I gotten over that silly crush on Kari a long time ago. Besides, I think I am too busy running from those boy crazed girls to get involve with some girl now."

The DigiDestined gang remained at the park for a while just talking about regular
stuff, like school, clothes and sports. As they continue to talk they noticed that it was
getting late so they said their good-byes and went home. While T.K., Yolei and Cody
went one way, Kari and Davis went the other. Despite the fact that Davis no longer had a crush on Kari he sometimes didn't know how to act around her. He felt like if he did
something other people might think they were a couple and Davis didn't want that to
happen because he didn't want to cause any trouble for either Kari or T.K..

Even though Kari didn't want anyone to notice that she was down Davis could tell
their was something wrong by the look in her eyes. "Kari what is wrong?" "Nothing is
wrong Davis. I am just a bit tried from school." "Come on Kari, I knew you better than
that. I can tell when something is bothering you. Please tell me so I can help in anyway I possibly can."

Kari couldn't help but a little bit touch about how Davis was worried about her.
She had to admit that it was kind of flattering how Davis would go out of his way to help
her. But for now she had to figure out what that dream was about on her own before she
would tell the others. "I appreciate how worried you are about me Davis but I am telling I
am fine." Davis could tell that their was indeed something bothering Kari but decided not to pressure her into telling him about it. "Okay Kari. Whatever you say. I just want you to remember if you need anyone to talk to I will be their for you, no matter what it is." "Thank you Davis. You are a good friend."

They shortly arrived at Kari's family apartment building. "Thanks for walking me
home Davis." "Its no problem Kari. After all I am your friend, and friends are suppose to
help friends, right?" "Right." "Well I will see you tomorrow at school." Kari was
entering the building when Davis called her. "Hey Kari. Remember what I said about if
you needed someone to talk to." "I will Davis. But you should be headed home now, its
getting late." Both of them said their good-byes and Davis ran home. Kari watched as he left. *Sorry Davis. But until I figure this thing out I will have to do this on my own.*

****

Kari slowly walked up the stairs to her apartment floor. When she got there she
found out that the door was lock. Her parents must have gotten out. Kari softly knocked on the door. "Gatomon open the door. Its me, Kari." She only had to wait a few seconds when the door was unlocked and opened.

"Kari. What took you so long. I thought something bad happen to you." "Sorry
Gatomon. I lost track of time when I was talking with the T.K. and the others. Were did
my partners go." "Your parents left. Saying that they had to run some arraigns. They
told me to tell you that they would be back in a hour or two." "Alright. What do you say
we go watch some TV until they comeback?" "All I got to say is that hurry up and turn
on the TV." replied her feline digimon as she walked into the living room and jump on the
couch.

After changing out of her school uniform and into some regular clothes she joined
Gatomon on the counch and turned on the TV. They only watch for about a few minutes
when they heard some kind of beeping. "What is that beeping coming from Kari?" "I not
really sure." Kari got up from the couch and looked around and followed the sound of the beeping. She followed all the way to her room. It was coming her D-terminal. She
quickly opened it up and saw that she had a email. After opening it up she saw that it was from Davis. It said:

Kari

We have found some kind of disturbance in the digital world. Hurry there as soon
as possible. We will be there as soon as we can. Please be careful until we arrive there.

Davis

No wasting anytime she grabbed both her D-terminal and her D3 and went to her
computer. "What's that matter Kari?" asked Gatomon when she entered her room. "I got a email from Davis. He said their is trouble in the digital world. We have go there now. The others will join us shortly. So are you with me partner." "You don't even have to ask me that. I am ready when you are." "Alright then. Lets go. digi-port open." The
familar white light came from the computer and surrounded both of them as they were
pulled into the computer.
