Third person P.O.V.
Sora shed a few tears as she stared out of her bedroom window at the stars. "Oh Tai. I didn't know." she said. Across town Matt was also looking at the stars. "I'm supposed to have the crest of friendship, but it looks like I haven't been a good friend to Tai." he sighed. He picked up his cell phone determined to fix the wrong he committed.
Time Skip- the next day.
Tai ran as fast as he could to the computer lab in Kari's school. "Tai!" someone called him from behind. He looked over his shoulder to see Sora running up to him. He stopped, so she could catch up. " I'm so sorry Tai. I didn't know. Can you ever forgive me?" she asked. "It's okay. You followed your heart, which I can't hold against you." he said. She smiled, letting a few tears fall, before kissing him right on the mouth. Tai broke the kiss as soon as he got over his shock. "What are you doing, Sora? What about Matt?" he asked. "We broke up. Please Tai, let me fix the mistakes I made." she said. "Alright, I may be losing my mind, but if you want to try a relationship, then I'm more than willing." Tai said. She said and grabbed Tai's hand.
Meanwhile
Today, the whole second generation were going to scout a forest near the village they first were attacked. "Okay everyone, now we will all split up and try to find anything that can help us find those scumbags. If we find them or anything of interest, email each other on the D-3's, okay." T.K. told all of them and there was a chorus of "Alright." Everyone split and went off in different directions, Kari and Gatomon went what would be east.
(Time Jump)
After some idle chat, navigation confusion, trying to find a way to the others and a little over an hour, they finally admitted they were lost. "Okay then, this is very bad. usually when something like this happens, everything goes from bad to worse." Gatomon said. As soon as those words were out of her mouth there was a loud screech and saw a very large Seadramon-like digimon above her. "I think you need to digivolve now, Gatomon" Kari said as she got out her Digivice. Gatomon nodded.
Gatomom digivolve to... Angewomon.
Angewomon carried Kari over the treetops and saw that the others were also up in the air to see what was going on(Cody and Armiddilomon were with Yolie). Suddenly, the forest was a blaze and the Digidestained were suddenly swarmed be several Digimon. "Davis, Kari, cover us, we need to get to the Digiport as soon as possible!" Ken yelled as he realized that there were way too many foes to even think about fighting back.
"You got it Ken. Let's go X-Veemon!" Davis shouted back, X-Veemon shooting his V Laser to help the retreat. Angewomon was shooting off a volley of arrows, keeping the digimon out but not out. "Keep moving guys, we're almost there!" Yolie yelled out as they neared the T.V. portal at the center of the forest. But, the digimon were on to them and a few DarkTyranomon raced to intercept them. "Ah nuts." was all Cody said as the were within a few dozen feet of the portal.
"Heaven's Charm!" Angewomon called, paralyzing the Dino Ultimates. "Hurry up, it won't hold for long!" Kari told them.
"Got it, Digiport open!" Yolie said as soon as most of the group was at the T.V. and were instantly transported the the Real world. As Davis, Kari, and their partners neared the portal, a couple of DarkTyranomon got free of Angewomon's Heaven's Charmand went after them. "Open it up Davis!" X-Veemon told him and he immediately complied. But as soon as the gate opened, a Destructive Impulse from a DarkTyranomon hit near Kari and Angewomon, sending Davis, a de-digivovled Veemon and Gatomon through the T.V., but Kari was thrown to the
"Aw double nuts." Kari thought as she prepared to receive the full brunt of the DarkTyranomon's attack. ...It didn't come. Instead in front of her was a human-fox digimon with golden armor and a staff stood in front of her, sukrua(?) petals blocking the insects' attack.
"Thanks." Kari whispered and Sakuyamon turned to face her, "Don't thank me yet, Sugar Queen, we still got a long way to go." the Shaman digimonsaid in a dual voice. With that, she jumped into the air and Kari saw that the Okuwamon were not alone. MegaSeadramon, Snimon, Kwuagamon, and DarkTyranomon were all around her. Kari suddenly felt very vulnrable without Gatomon and her friends.
Sakuyamon must have figured this out as she shouted, "Hey Beelzemon, can you take that Digidestained back to the house, me and GoggleHead will take care of this. Besides, you're out of ammo." she said, taking out Beelzemon's favorite agruement. As the Digidestained of Light tried to stand up, she felt exactly how hurt she was. She promptly fainted after ten seconds.
"Uh, hey Queenie, she fainted. And it wasn't my fault this time." Beelzemon said to the 'Digimon Queen'. "Fine, take and give her one of the extra beds, and get yourself some food from Ai, ok?" Sakuyamon told him. Beelzemon gave a weak smile and roared onto the scene on his motorcycle, Behemoth. He carefully
put Kari on the back of the motorcycle and raced off to their hideout.
"Gogglehead, where are you? I could use some help here." Sakuyamon said as she deleted several digimon after a Amethyst Wind but she then saw a Gigadramon right in front of her. Suddenly a lance was through his head and behind him was Gallantmon, scratches and dents in his armor. "Sorry, Piedmon and some other ambushed me on the way here." Takato apologized.
"Deal with it, we go some trouble here too. That girl, whats her name...Kari, I think is out cold and Beelzemon is taking her to the house." Rika said as she took out a few DarkTyranomon with her staff. "I'm on it. Hey, I got a new trick I want to try out, but you need to take cover first." Gallantmon said urgently as he blocked a few Snimon's attacks. Sakuyamon quickly rose her shield and watched as Gallantmon lifted his lance and pointed it to the sky.
"Lightining Charge!" the Royal Knight called his attack. A thunderbolt lunched up to the sky and less then a second later dozens of thunderbolts came down and deleting all of the enemies, while several miracusly deflected off her sheild. "Why did you decide that today was the day you try that move?" Rika asked. She and Renamon had just sperated as well as Takato and Gulimon. Takato scracths the back of his head nervously.
"Uh...well, you see, I tried to see if I could use that attack without hurting my friends and allies. But it doesn't, the bolts go anywhere there is anything sticking out, like regular lightning. So I don't use because it could hurt you and the others. Ok, you can hit me now" Takato said with his head down. Rika looked at him in cofusion.
"Why would I hit you, you haven't done anything wrong. You just decided to see if what you learned would be helpful first instead of charging straigt ahead like normal, Gogglehead. You did the right and smart thing at the same time..." Rika's eyes then widened, "Ok, who are you and what have you done with my Gogglehead."
Takato's head snapped up at the same time Rika turned around and a blush appeared on her cheeks. Luckly, Renamon decided to intervine right then. "Why don't we all head back now, I don't trust Impmon with an unconsious person at anytime." she said. "Sure." was all Rika said, and Renamon then teleported herself and Rika to their hideout. "Looks like we're walking Gulimon..." Takato started until Renamon came back and took them both.
Myotismon's old castle (Now Takato and Rika's hideout)
Kari was sleeping very well for the last couple of hours. But she was slowly coming to. After a couple of seconds, Kari opened an eye to see her surroundings. What she saw made her opened both of her eyes wide. In front of her was a large red dinosaur-like digimon. Next to him were two little siblings. These two were currently on the floor laughing seeing as the Digimon was covered in what looked like purple pastry filling. The red dino was also trying to lick it off of his face but was unsuccessful and only acheived falling to the ground. Even Kari started to giggle at this moment.
The digimon then looked up at her and smiled. "Hey there, I'm Gulimon, what's your name?" he said in a somewhat childish voice. "I'm Kari Kaymia. Who are you two?" Kari asked the two little ones. "I'm Ai and this is my brother Mako. Are you feeling better now?" the girl, Ai, replied. "Yes I am, but where am I right now?" Kari asked.
The siblings looked at each other and then at her "Well, if you can walk out, we'll show you to our friends and they said that they will explain it to you. Does that sound alright Kari?" Mako asked. Kari thought it over and decided to go so she nodded and tried to stand up. Immeditatly, she felt dizzy but after a few seconds regained her senses. As they walked down a hall way and then a flight of stairs when they entered what looked like a throne room. When she walked into the room, she had one of the biggest shocks of her life. Sitting on the throne was Rika and standing beside her was Takato A.K.A the 'Digimon Queen and Kight'.
"..."
Kari fainted again. "This has you written all over it, Gogglehead." Rika said.
Meanwhile with the Digidestined.
"DAVIS! WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY SISTER DIDN'T COME THROUGH!" Tai yelled as he lounged at said boy. It took nearly all of the DigiDestained to restrain Tai from killing the other brown headed boy that was currently hiding under a desk.
"It wasn't my fault, the t.v. blow up before she could get through, I'm sorry! Please don't kill me!" Davis begged, trying to save his life from an angry older, protective brother.
"Calm down down Tai, it really wasn't his fault. We have to worry about what is important here, your sister Kari." Sora said, trying to reason with Tai. It took several minutes but he finally settled down and sat in a chair with his head in his hands. "Is it safe to come out now?" Davis asked as he slowly came out from under the desk. Tai glared at him, making Davis squeal.
"So the questions are 'Why did the digimon attack?', 'Who they're working for?' and 'Where is Kari?'. What do we do?" Izzy voiced his thoughts. "Well, 'Who?' is the easiest. The Digimon Knight and Queen probablely had them attack them. But the 'why' I'm at a loss." T.K. reasoned. "I think the 'why they attacked' is because we were getting too close to them." Mimi said.
"And Kari knew more about the Digimon Knight then anyone. If they attacked to protect themsleves and Kari's still there then...oh God!" Sora gasped, her hand moving to her mouth. "Kari's been kiddnapped and is being held captive!" Yolie exclaimed.
"What do you think will happen to her in these two's clutches?" Matt asked. "I don't know, but's it's too late to go back and look for her. We can come tomarrow but since it's Sunday, we'll need to sneak in." Izzy stated. "Leave that to me, I'm getting good at lock-picking." Cody said. Then everyone stared at him. "What?! It's a good skill to have."
"Okay, but where will we search?" asked T.K. "How about the same forest? It seems like a logical place to start. And maybe we can ask Gennai for help too." Tai said, speaking for the first time. "Thats...thats actually a good idea. Alright then." Izzy said. "Is it decided then?" he asked. A murmmer of 'yes' and 'oks' told everyone that that was the end for tonight. Every last person was worried as they walked out of the computer lab, but none more then a older brother and a friend with purple hair, both with their own reasons.
