DISCLAIMER: I will never, in the history of my entire lifetime, own Digimon

DISCLAIMER: I will never, in the history of my entire lifetime, own Digimon. It would be awesome if I did. 

Author's Note: Well it only took me an entire year. I wanted to start this story about six months ago, but my parents wanted me to make sure that I was paying more attention to my school work that my Fanfiction writing. Luckily I passed all of my classes and won't be taking as many in the Fall. So that means more time spent on crappy ways to make myself feel better about the way season two of Digimon ended. This story hopefully promises to be good. This time I'm taking a different couples path because of the fact that Taiora prevailed in my last fanfic. This one takes place about four months after the last one.

Well I won't rable on and on so…

… Okay then, enjoy.

Hope in All That is Darkness

Chapter One- Return of the Darkness

"It's spreading!" yelled a running Gostumon. "The darkness is speading!" Several thousand digimon run, trying to out-run a wave of black mist.

A lone teen, stands in the middle of all of the chaos, with a wizard digimon standing besides him. "This doesn't look good," the teen says. "I thought we could handle this on our own but it seems like I was wrong."

"What do you suggest we do?" the wizard digimon asks.

"We find someone who can." The teen runs off with the wizard digimon close behind him. "Will have to hurry. Once that black mist consumes the area we won't be able to leave." The teen then stops running when he finds a small television. He then pulls out a digivice. "You ready partner?"

"Always."

"Then here we go!" The teen points the digivice at the television. A bright light engulfs the teen and the wizard digimon. Black mist then consumes the remaining part of the area.

"Tai!" yelled by the voice of a teenage girl. "Where's my backpack!"

"How should I know?!" Tai yelled back. "I not your backpack's keeper, Kari."

Kari opened the door to her room and exited, a huge mess seen behind her. "Well it isn't in my room."

"Why do you even need it? School's been out for two weeks."

"I left my digivice in it. I'll need it if I plan on going to the Digital World tomorrow with the others."

"Well maybe it's in my room, by the computer."

"Let's see." Kari walks into Tai's room. She looks at his desk. "There it is!"

"Told ya!" Tai yells from the living room.

Kari walks over to the computer and picks up the digivice. Suddenly, Tai's computer lights up and starts flashing. Kari turns her head towards the computer. Two shadowed figures fly out of the computer screen. Kari quickly jumps to her right to avoid them. The two crash to the floor, one piled on top of the other. One of them, a teenager, rises, rubbing the top of his head in pain.

"Owww," the teen says. "You would think that someone who does this often would put down something soft to land on." The teen looks around and notices Kari staring at him. "Oh. Hi Kari…"

"Taaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!" Kari screams at the top of her lungs. "Get in here. I need your help." Kari turns and picks up a soccer ball that was lying on the floor of Tai's room and chucks it blindly at the teenager.

Tai rushes into his room just in time to get hit in the face with a soccer ball. "Ow!" Kari what was that for!"

"Look!" Kari yells. "He's back!"

Tai looks to see the teenager ducked on the ground. "Michael!" Tai exclaims. "What are you doing here?"

"He's here to finish us off!" Kari yells picking up a large wooden object. "Get Agumon and Gatomon! Let's finish him before he can start anything!" She goes to swing the wooden object at Michael.

"Kari, Michael is a friend."

"No he's not. Friends don't try to kill you."

"I told you already, Michael is not our enemy. He did what he did to save the world. Now put down that broken table leg." Kari drops the table leg. Tai turns to Michael. "So, what's the special occasion?"

"Well…" Michael began. "…take me to Izzy. There's a problem in the Digital World."
