A/n - This is a different version of the battle that would have taken place in the movie "Revenge of Diaboromon" for clairfication. It's not like the actual battle I'm just using this time period, which I assume is right after season 2 ends, and this monster as the final battle. Enjoy :).
Chapter 1: Four Years Earlier
"DUCK!"
"Huh?" Tai turned his head just as WarGreymon soured him straight down and out of harms way. Tai could hear Sora breath a sigh of relief and scream at him far afar that he needed to watch where he was going.
"Tai will you be more careful!" Kari screamed flying up next to her older less cautious brother.
Tai just rolled his eyes. "You guys worry too much. Now I'm getting tired with these chasing games, let's go WarGreymon destroy that creep once and for all!"
"Tk! You and Kari distract Diaboromon while Tai and I go in for the attack!" Matt yelled from MetalGarurumon.
"Got it!" Tk yelled. "Kari you go from the right and I'll take the left, we'll aim for the Kuramon!"
"Alright. Joe, Izzy, can you too take care of helping us send some of the Kuramon into the gate of destiny?" Kari asked beginning to head for the right.
"We're on it!" Izzy yelled.
Kari flew up holding onto Angewoman's back to the right while Tk did the same with MagnaAngemon to the left. MagnaAngemon flew up to the sky and threw out his sword for the attack. "Gate of Destiny!"
"Angewoman now!" Kari yelled as Angemon took aim at the Kuramon planning to send them straight into the gate.
"Celestial Arrow!" She screamed with a perfect shot at the Kuramon.
Izzy and Joe took two of the other sides where the Kuramon where and aimed straight at them too.
"Horn Buster!"
"Vulcan's Hammer!"
The two digimon's attacks shot right into the minature digimon sending them stright up with the Kuramon, Angewoman had hit.
"Cable Crusher!" Diaboromon yelled using his long arms to reach right for the Kuramon heading into MagnaAngemon's Gate of Destiny.
"What's he doing?" Yolie asked landing on the ground getting off Aquilamon to see the scene.
"I think he's trying to save them." Cody responded walking up next to the girl.
"But why?" Yolie asked again but Davis interupted her question.
"It doesn't matter why we just have to stop whatever he's doing before he does it. Tai!" The boy screamed up to his older look alike.
"Right, WarGreymon! Matt!"
"MetalGarurumon now!"
"Terra Force!" WarGreymon shouted shooting a huge orb of fire straight at Diaboromon.
"Metal Wolf Claw!" MetalGarurumon yelled smashing his long claws into the back where WarGreymon's attack had just headed.
A huge light came from Diaboromon as the attacks combined causing the whole city to shake as though and earthquake was striking. The digidestined held their hands up to their faces waiting for the scene to clear out.
"Is it over?" Mimi asked squinting to see what she could make out of the monsters.
"No..." Ken said quietly with a concerned look on his face. "It just got worse."
"Huh?" Mimi said looking as the scene cleared.
"That's impossible!" Yolie shrieked seeing what had just happened.
"He...digivolved." Izzy muttered. "But how?" He looked over at where the Gate of Destiny had stood. "The Kuramon! He used their power to digivolve!"
"Well that's convenient." Joe said sarcastically.
"Izzy who is he now?" Tk said as MagnaAngemon lowered him to the ground and he jumped off as did Angewoman with Kari. The two ran over to their computer loving friend.
"Now's he's Armageddemon. His worst attack would be Destiny Destroyer. Just from the name you can tell it would hurt us more than help." Izzy exclaimed.
"Well if he's stronger we'll get stronger. Matt! Time to DNA digivolve!" Tai shouted.
Matt smiled. "Done. Davis, Ken you do the same!"
"Right!." The two best friends said in union.
"WarGreymon!"
"MetalGarurumon!"
"DNA digivolve to Omnimon."
"ExVeemon!"
"Stingmon!"
"DNA digivolve to Paildramon. Paildramon digivolve to Imperialdramon. Imperialdramon digivolve to Imperialdramon Fighter Mode."
"This dude doesn't stand a chance now." Davis said with a huge smirk on his face.
"Don't get too cocky." Angewoman said flying nearby. "Cheer once we win."
Lilymon flew up behind her. "Nah we can take him let's cheer now. Flower..."
Armageddemon turned around quicker than a champion cross country running attacking without any warning. "Black Rain!"
Lilymon flew to the left dedigivoling into Palmon landing right in Mimi's arms. Angewoman flew to the right and dedigivolved into Gatomon.
"Oh no Gatomon!" Kari screamed running away from Izzy and Tk and towards her digimon.
"Kari no!" Tk screamed seeing the large dragon-spider like digimon staring over at the girl running.
"Gatomon!" Kari screamed picking up her cat-like digimon. "Gatomon are you okay?"
"Yeah but this feels worse then flees." Gatomon replied and Kari couldn't help but smile at her digimon. She was more like a feline then she liked to admit.
"Kari! Look out!"
"Huh?" Kari turned her head still kneeling on the ground to see Tk running towards her. She hadn't really been listening to him yelling to her before because she had to get to Gatomon. He looked upset and the next thing she knew she heard something...
"Black Rain!"
It was like slow motion had taken place in Kari's mind. She could hear her brother scream in the background but all she saw was the black targests shooting at her and Tk running towards her. She was going to die. She closed her eyes and heard another scream. That's when reality hit her, it was the attack that hadn't...
Kari's eyes shot open and the world returned to 'normal' around her. She heard Matt screaming and felt her heart freeze up.
"Tk..." She whispered looking at the boy lying in front of her. "No..." She whispered quietly. He had taken the attack for her. He had saved her. "NO!" She screamed louder. "NO! TK! WAKE UP! TK!" She had gone into complete hyseterics over the blonde boy lying in front of her.
"Joe!" Matt's voice screamed and the next thing she knew the blue haired boy rushed in front of her kneeling over Tk.
She felt someone pick her up from behind and didn't need to look to know it was Tai. "Tai let go of me!"
"Kari you need to get away from here." He said as the girl struggled to get away.
"No I need to help him! Tai he needs me!"
"Kari..."
"LET GO OF ME!" Kari screamed at the top of her lungs. She hadn't had such a temper tantrum since she was little but she just felt so scared and useless.
"Kari you need to let Joe try and help him!" Tai told her. "Please."
"I can't stay here and watch this." She broke down and cried. "I can't watch this..."
Tai loosened his grip around his sister and she ran. Away from everything. Away from the people standing watching horrified, the digimon that stood there pleased with himself, and the boy...no him. Running away from him; her best friend, her hero,...the one she was in love with.
The last thing she heard from where her teammates were was the sound of Omnimon and Imperialdramon attacking Armageddenmon. She stop for a second and turned around to see the enemy digimon turn into thousands maybe millions of pieces of data. Then she turned and ran again.
She ran into the middle of the park knowing everyone would be standing around the fight scene and not here. She was right, the place was deserted... Kari fell to the ground in some of the grass and cried. It was only minutes before she heard the voice though, the words that made her make that decision, the decision that would affect her life forever.
"Do you want to save your boyfriend?"
"Do you hate me?"
"I could never hate you, you're my sister. Plus I would've done the same thing if it had been Sora and me instead..." Tai told her turning around outside of the hospital. It had been only about two hours since Kari had made a deal, a deal with a monster, all so she could save Tk's life. "What are you going to tell them?"
Kari sighed letting the wind sweep past her for a half of a second calming affect. "Well I can't tell them the truth...only you are allowed to know that. I guess I'll have to make something up. Then they can be the one's to tell Tk that I left."
"They aren't going to understand Kari..." Tai said seriously. "I'm letting you know now that whatever lie you decide to tell them...their going to be angry and hurt."
"It's worth it. Tk's worth it." Kari said sadly feeling a tear fall down her face. "I have to do this, I love him."
"That's the first time you've ever admitted that."
"I never felt like it would be the last time I'd ever want to bring him up before. Don't tell anyone though."
"There's no need they already know, which is another reason they'll be upset about this."
"What are you talking about?" Kari asked confused.
"Oh please Kari everyone knows you love Tk and he loves you. You two are just to damn stubborn half the time to admit it or take a chance and date each other." Tai said like it was obvious.
"Well now we won't have that chance..." Kari said feeling worse than ever.
"Kar..."
She pulled on a fake smile and looked at her older brother. "I guess it's time to say goodbye."
"You don't have to do this now."
"Yeah I think I do." She said looking into the hospital. She took a deep breath and opened the door heading to the waiting area where the rest of the digidestined were. She had a sick feeling inside of her as her and Tai approached them.
"Kari!" Yolie exclaimed jumping up and running to give her friend a hug. "There you are, isn't this great Tk's going to be okay!" She smiled brightly.
"Yeah it's...wonderful." Kari said sincerely but couldn't look her friend in the eyes.
"What's wrong?" Yolie's tone changed and had a curious look on her face.
"Um I have to talk to you guys..."
"Well once Tk wake's up you can, the doctor said it should be anytime now..." Matt began but Kari cut him off.
"No I have to talk to you guys, now." She said seriously and everyone was silent. Tai just leaned up against the wall waiting for the conversation to change everything. "I'm leaving."
"What?" Yolie asked confused.
"You mean the hospital?" Cody asked.
"No, well yes, but I mean I'm leaving town." Kari clarified feeling the shocked looks staring her down.
Sora turned to Tai. "Where are you guys going?"
"No you don't understand. I'm leaving, not Tai." She said wishing they'd just get the point.
"But...why?" Mimi asked confused.
"I...look these past years, they've been so hard. I love all you guys I really do and this is nothing personal but I need some time to get away, from this life, from being a digidestined." Kari began.
"What!" Davis shouted jumping up from the couch.
"Please let me finish, Davis." Kari said closing her eyes. She could feel the anger and confusion filling the room. "I want to be normal. I want to have a normal life. I want my biggest worry to be if I have a zit not if I'm putting the world in danger. And that's what I did today, I acted without thinking and because of that Tk almost...you know."
"But Tk would never blame you for that." Matt said quickly. "He choose to jump in front of you, he..."
"I know he would never blame me but he shouldn't have to have the option to. What happened today should never have happened and it's not going to again. I'm going to a private school out of town. It's pretty far away so I won't be around often except to see my family here in there."
Yolie's eyebrows scrunched together as she realized what Kari was saying. "You're leaving...and you're not coming back." She gave her a look. "You're cutting off contact from all of us."
Kari looked down. "I think it's for the best..."
"For who!" Matt's voice had become harsh and was full of anger. He had never yelled at Kari before and the girl was taken quite aback as the rest of the room. "Tk saves your life and you decide that to repay him you're just going to skip town and ditch him as a friend! Do you have ANY idea what that will do to him!"
"Matt calm down!" Tai said getting protective over his little sister.
"I'm sorry..." Kari whispered feeling the tears fall down. "I just can't live like this anymore..."
"You, you, you! The world doesn't revolve around you!"
"Matt shut up!" Tai yelled.
"Why the hell should I? I don't get how you are just putting up with her leaving the team and her friends. She's going to hurt people!"
"It's her decision." Tai said quietly.
"Yeah well have fun explaining you're decision to Tk." Matt said furious then his face turned reder when she didn't respond. "You're not going to say goodbye to him are you! That's why you didn't want him here!"
"You don't understand..." Kari said barely audible.
"No you're right I don't. I don't understand how you could do this to him." He turned and left the room leaving Kari unable to speak. Tai didn't even know what to say at this point, he couldn't defend her when they didn't know the truth.
"Guys..." Kari whispered.
"You know Kari, Tk and I don't always get along...but I really can't believe you would do this to him." Davis said which killed Kari.
She managed a nod. "I'm sorry..." And turned around leaving the room, leaving her friends, leaving Tk.
A/n - I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my new story I made a deal with the devil. I've been writing and rewriting this chapter for a while now which is why it's out so early after my other stories. Plus I'm really inspired. I obviously didn't want to reveal the whole story int he first chapter so you'll have to keep reading to find out the missing pieces. Also thanks to wiki (which i don't own) for helping me with all the digimon moves that I couldn't remember. Anywho I hope you liked it and please review, I'd love to hear what you have to say!
Thanks!
