Chapter 9 Kiari's Disappearance
The fight between KendoGarurumon and Beetlemon against BurningGreymon still forges on with BurningGreymon winning as he tried to gain control but only with little by little effect. Kiari was starting to get worried as she started walking towards the fight, ignoring the calls of Zoey and Bokomon.
'I have to do something. I can't bear to see my friends fighting against each other.' Kiari stopped walking when she remembered Shamanmon's prediction about her future. 'Shamanmon said that my end will also be the end of the Digital World. If I get myself involved in this fight then that'll increase the chances for mine and the Digital World's end. There's nothing I can do but watch my friends fight each other.'
Kiari just stood there watching the fight as KendoGarurumon and Beetlemon ran into the forest. Kiari, Zoey, Tommy, Bokomon, and Neemon started to run up a hill until BurningGreymon suddenly appeared in front of them. BurningGreymon was about to strike Kiari if Beetlemon didn't try to stop him as she ,Zoey, Bokomon, and Neemon started to run back down the hill. Tommy started to run towards BurningGreymon with Kiari running after him.
"Tommy, come back! You're going to get yourself hurt!" Kiari said as Tommy confronted BurningGreymon, and Kiari stood beside him. "I know you want to help, Tommy but it's too dangerous."
"At least I'm willing to try." Tommy looked towards BurningGreymon as he stood in front of BurningGreymon. "Takuya, please listen to me! This isn't really you! You're just only confused and afraid!"
Kiari noticed that Tommy was starting to get through to Takuya as she turned her gaze from Tommy and towards BurningGreymon.
"Takuya listen to what Tommy is saying! We both know that you're still in there. So please fight to gain control over your beast spirit!" Tommy started to walk up towards BurningGreymon who just stood there. "Don't you see, Takuya? We're your friends. We're trying to help you."
BurningGreymon suddenly ran towards Kiari and Tommy as he pushed Kiari out of the way and held Tommy up in the air. Kiari was about to run to help Tommy, but KendoGarurumon stood in her way. Tommy continued trying to get through to Takuya until Takuya managed to gain control and changed back into himself before Kiari went over to see if Tommy was okay. After making sure Tommy was okay, she walked over to Takuya and knelt down in front of him. She then wrapped her arms around him in a hug as the others walked up to them.
(A/N: I'm just going to skip the part where Takuya was able to control his beast spirit and got Tommy's spirit back from Grumblemon)
It was already dark out, and the digidestined were staring up at the three moons in the night sky. After a while, everyone except Takuya and Kiari were fast asleep. Seeing the depressed look on Takuya's face, Kiari walked over to sit next to him before putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm glad that you were able to control your beast spirit, Takuya." Kiari was trying to keep Takuya from feeling bad for not being able to get hers and Zoey's spirits back from Grumblemon. "That shows how stronger you've become."
"Thanks Kiari. But I still wasn't able to get back yours and Zoey's spirits from Grumblemon."
"I'm going to go walk around for a bit." Kiari got up and walked into the forest, making sure not to walk to far from her friends. 'Takuya's feeling bad because he wasn't able get my spirit back like he promised. I can't help but blame myself since Koji must also feel the same guilt as Takuya.' Kiari was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Koji calling her. 'He must've woke up and found out I wandered off on my own. I better let him know where I am.'
"I'm over here, Koji." Kiari leaned against a tree as a small hole in the trunk opened before she fell in. "Ah!"
"Kiari?" Koji arrived to where he heard Kiari scream but saw that she was no longer there. "She's gone. This can't be good. Kiari? Kiari where are you?"
Takuya and the others soon found out about Kiari's disappearance and started to look through the forest for her. After a few hours of searching, They decided to head to the Forest Terminal while keeping an eye out for Kiari.
