Author's Note: I've decided to go third person and maybe have a little Tk here and there so you get to know what is going on with him. Hopefully everyone likes this, cause I looked at what was good for this fanfic and decided that this will hopefully be the best way of doing things. And I know I left the last chapter at such a cliffhanger, but your not going to get a continuation on that for awhile, I might add a little more to that this chapter (I'm writing this beforehand) I might not. We'll have to see :S

Oh and srry if this suck a bit, I haven't done third person in awhile that I might be a little rusty DX. AND fyi this is thought of the person in question. Mainly the main characters in this chapter

Hold on or Let Go?

The group stood in front of the tall dark entrance that remained of Devimon's castle. The sun had set and the gang was tired from walking all day to get here. Well that and the almost impossible battle against Devimon.

The only other reason for staying there would be waiting. Waiting on someone they hoped would return, and soon. But as the Digital sun started to fall they knew no such luck would happen, or at least for that night.

"Maybe we should go find a good place to sleep." Sora suggested. "Me and Biyomon can go look around."

Biyomon nodded, even if she didn't look ready, she sure was quick to agree.

Tai shook his head. "Here should be fine. We need to be here in the morning in case Tk comes back." This was true in a sense, but wasn't the only thought running through the courageous leader's head.

Most people believed that Tai didn't have much of a brain, his best friend included. However science couldn't prove this with a lot of success, an opinion of everyone. Here I will prove to you that Tai does have a brain, no matter how small it is, and that he does use it- to the best to his ability.

I don't understand why he ran off like that. What could spook him that much? I've never seen him so shaken up before. No matter, we need to wait for him to cool off and come back. I just wish that Angemon was here so we would know that Tk will come right back when he was ready. Not that he should be out there alone, no its better that Angemon went to him... Wait, 'Make angels fly out to the coast, Where devils plan a devish roast.' Did Tk go out to find the new evil by himself? Angemon went to find him too, oh god! Another piece has been done. Tai kept thinking about, how it was relevant to the Digidestined as a group. The legend does have all of our crests, including Ken's, but then shouldn't Ken be here with us? Why were only the original eight allowed back in the Digital World while the others are stuck at home worrying?

"I think we should kill the time somehow." Mimi spoke, she was always the one to break the awkward silences when the group drifted away to their own heads. It always worked that way, even when it was a group outing in their world.

Tai nodded. "I think we should think about the legend Jak gave us."

Joe looked at him weirdly. "Why? I'm sure Izzy is on it, right Izzy?"

Izzy nodded. "But it is really weird, compared to the other ones. This one talks about each crest separately, it bothers me. It's like they are associated us by our crests because they didn't know our names, like its guiding us to the peace of the Digital world."

"So it's not about something random?" Matt chimed in. How is that possible? Me and Tai might fight, but I wouldn't leave his side because of it. Would I? No, I wouldn't.

"No, each part links to another so they will happen one after another. Remember what Jak said about how we defeated Devimon? Well it's in here, 'Holy Light takes Heaven's Hope, To bind around Devil's rope.' Angemon and Angewomon wrapped around Devimon like a bright light rope. Remember what they are? The angels of Hope and Light."

Tai nodded. "And Tk seems pretty scared about what was gonna happen."

"The Darkness." Matt whispered. Everyone barely heard him-

But everyone understood what he said, even when Kari questioned him. "The Darkness?"

"You weren't here for it, but when Patamon first turned into Angemon he sacrificed his life to protect Tk, all of us actually. Devimon was strong then too, I guess it was because you weren't here that you and Angewomon couldn't help at the time. Devimon would always mutter that the smallest would destroy him, and it did."

"But us too." Tai added.

Matt nodded. "Yes, and right afterwards we thought he was gone for good, we didn't know that Digimon didn't die only reconfigured. But all of a sudden white feathers piled on top of each other and created a Digiegg. Tk took care of Patamon until he was just that, Patamon."

"Then how does that explain now?" Izzy questioned.

"It didn't start at first. Tk was fine until after it was all over, when he still lived in Japan. Well me and Teeks would hang out a lot when my band wasn't practicing and when we talked about it, he seemed off. The hatred in his eyes just burned. I didn't understand it until Cody told me about punching Ken's face, well what happened before that." Matt took a deep breathe, he didn't want to cut into his brother's business, but he didn't have much choice now. "Ken had opened up a whirlpool filled with negative energy, when Tk and Cody went to free the Digimon in Ken's hideout, Cody said whatever was on the screen pissed Tk off because he threw his hat on the ground and marched off. He described it different, but I imagined that hateful disgusted look I saw when talking about it."

"Do you think he went to face the Darkness alone?" Joe vocalized.

"I think so. I hope he wouldn't, but knowing him and what's going on, its a good possibility."

Izzy turned to look at Tai. "Do you think this means something Tai?"

Tai nodded. "If Tk thought that the Darkness would be on the coast somewhere, that's where he'll go, and since Angemon went after him-"

"Another part of the legend came true." Kari interrupted.

"But what about the next part. If what Izzy says is true we need to find out what will happen next." Sora stated.

Mimi's hand touched her cheek. "'Make angels fly out to the coast, As devils plan a devish roast, For all must fall before it can rise, As we can not see the deadly guise.' I think that was the next part."

"It is. So, 'For all must fall before it can rise.' What do you think it means?" Izzy questioned the group.

Everyone fell silent trying to figure out what or who it meant. It was too general to find out. The wording didn't apply to one person, so were everyone in the group going to fall? Did it mean that the Darkness was going to rule? Then there was the problem of 'As we can not see the deadly guise.'

"A guise is like a costume, right?" Kari asked her elder counterparts.

"I guess, that's its literal meaning anyway." Sora answered, confused where this was going.

"Well I think it means that someone is going to fall away from us and not show it."

The group fell into an eerie silence at the weight of he words. The way she said made it feel right, even if it wasn't. It felt right. They looked at one other slowly thinking who could fall within the group that would divide them. All of them were capable of such thing, they were linked at the hip in a certain way. Their crests blazed stronger with everyone here, with all a purpose. However when everyone looked forward they knew who the legend spoke of.

"We need to go find Tk." Matt demanded. "He doesn't know of this, and we need to stick together as a group."

Tai shook his head. "He can take care of himself until the morning at least. You can baby him all the time Matt."

"I'm not babying him Tai! I'm worried that whatever this legend is talking about already got him!"

"Well then we should find out what it's talking about before jumping to conclusions. Matt calm down, I was only poking fun."

"Poking fun? We might be in the danger and your 'poking fun'? What's wrong with you?" Matt got up and pushed his best friend to the ground.

"Guys do you think this is a good time to fight." Sora and Mimi pleaded.

Tai's punch to Matt's stomach served as an answer. Matt keeled over and hit the floor but swept Tai off his feet as well by kicking his feet down. They tumble around in wrestling positions waiting for the other to make a move. Tai attempted to tackle Matt, but he ducked at the last second and jumped Tai. They started rolling around on the ground trying to remain in power on the top. No one tried to stop them, not even their Digimon.

Agumon and Gabumon stood away from the others, waiting patiently for them to stop, hoping that they wouldn't have to fight each other to prove which one was right. The argument went by so fast that they didn't know what it was, let alone who was right.

Soon both of their partner's were on their feet staring at each other, now they decided to act.

"Come on Matt, don't do this. Let's go find someplace to cool off. Then in the morning we'll go find Tk. Sound good?"

Matt nodded in response and walked away, even though his gut told him to stay. He was too mad at Tai to care about some stupid Legend that could break him and his best friend apart. He felt guilty for leaving them, but he didn't care. He was worried about Tk more than the Digital World at this point.

Agumon looked at Tai. "Tai, calm down. He's only worried about Tk, you would be the same if it was Kari."

Tai shook his head in anger. "I know that! Do you think that I would be fighting with him if I didn't! He's my best friend, always has been." He looked the other way that Matt went and walked off. Agumon ran after him, worried about his two legged partner. They ran off with a presence on their backs, however it left as soon as it came and never came back.

The rest of the group stood there dumbfounded. No one knew what just happened, nothing went by the act or logic or reason. It was like two strings were pulling them apart. Izzy was the only one looking around for something to end it. When they both walked off he looked at Matt weirdly, and then Tai. Who should I go and talk back? Matt is more likely not to return. He quickly looked around to the others to see if they were going to do anything. Sora and Kari looked too stunned to move and Mimi and Joe were with each other. I prick of jealousy ran through Izzy's body before running after the older Ishida.

TPOV (Tk's POV)

I looked around the woods. Nothing looked alive, or completely alive. It was as if it was apart of one of the two entities of life. Light and Dark, White and Black, or in this case Yellow and Grey. Nothing went in this World without it. But it looked so close to the Digital that I thought it was.

It should have been obvious when I woke up. This place seemed cut in two. A light side that engulfed in yellow and darkness that shined dark grey. But it looked exactly the same to where I fell asleep, so I assumed that this was the Digital World. But now walking through here I knew I wasn't here and that I was alone. No one was going to try to help me.

I was being swallowed whole.

I felt like my surrounding area, being eaten alive by my opposite. From the first time I looked up I saw it half yellow and half grey, the yellow had been in the left, but now as the darkness seem to have engulfed it reappeared on the opposite side. I remember when I saw it happen, it was different, and I felt odd watching it happen. It shouldn't be possible, but then again the sky shouldn't be yellow and grey halves to begin with.

Maybe I need some counseling.

No one would believe me in the real world, that I teleported to a different and then teleported against my wishes again to a different world. Totally would get put in a mental institute for that statement. But this shouldn't be about my mental health, no Patamon needed something. If I could find the others with a medical doctor, even if in training, then I'm going to need to find answers myself. First thing, find out the problem.

I looked at him. He looked terrible, pale in spaces he wasn't even suppose to be white. He looked worse than Davis when I played him in basketball and 'accidentally' gave him a bloody nose. The injury was on purpose, it was the blood that was the accident. I nudged Patamon lightly.

"Tk..." Patamon moaned, he sounded seriously hurt.

"I'm here buddy, what's wrong?"

"Don't do it Tk." Patamon's words croaked out again. What did he not want me to do?

"I'm not doing anything Patamon. You okay buddy?"

Patamon started to wiggle away from me, like he was repulsed by my touch. "Go away!" He screamed in his sleep.

I shook my head, he couldn't see it but it felt better to show him that he was wrong. "Your my friend Patamon, I'm not going to leave you like this! Com'n and wake up, I need you buddy. If you wake up you can tell me what's wrong and I can fix it." I reached toward him.

Patamon flinched at my touch. "Don't touch me. I don't know who you are!"

I looked at my friend. Please tell me he's been sleep talking this whole time. I don't want to believe that he doesn't remember me. "It's me Patamon, Tk. You know, your partner and best friend that you waited for."

"Your not Tk! Your a monster!" He lashed out at me. Was he having a ridiculously long nightmare?

I picked him up and started walking again. There was nothing I could against a nightmare, no matter what say he would only think of the evil running through his head.

Evil.

Oh great, now my head hurts.

I looked forward deeper in the woods. The darkness kept creepy and engulfing its surroundings. It panged at me with every step I took. After so often I needed to stop and look at the sky and notice how much grey filled it. I felt empty, black and dark.

I felt dizzy.

Thrid Person

Tai walked through the forest without anyone but Agumon. He couldn't look anyone in the eye anymore. He was the leader, but he was always the one that broke them apart, never together.

Sure they wouldn't agree with him, telling him about the time they lost their way without him and drifted apart. It was him that brought all seven of them together in one spot to finally defeat Myotismon, or a least attempted to. They would also bring up how he believed in everyone as he fought Piedmon alone. His courage blazed as an orange beacon of light, never ending. But he was always courageous, and he will always will be. No legend was going to tell him otherwise.

He kept telling himself that as they walked farther from the group. He didn't notice at first, until it hit, one of Devimon's minions that didn't know Devimon was gone. Orgemon stood in front of Tai ready to pounce. Now this Orgemon was a different then the one that fought with them. No this one was one of the fiercest Orgemon on File Island, which in my book isn't hard.

Tai was too shocked to move, Agumon had to tackle him to the floor to dodge the attack. "Tai, wake up!" His partner called. "You need get ready so I can Digivolve!"

Only Tai wasn't paying any attention to Agumon, only the how close he came to death. The firewall stood in front of him again haunting him. One foul movement and he would be dead. No rebirth or reconfiguration for them, or at least as they knew it, no one died in here to know for sure. No one was going to find out anytime soon.

Agumon couldn't believe Tai's state as Orgemon kept attacking them. He eventually just grabbed Tai and ran away. He couldn't digivolve without Tai's courage, and Tai wasn't being his usual courageous self. He needed to find a place to hide and snap Tai out. They ran into the woods again as Agumon searched for the one safe spot in these parts, the hiding tree. When he was a Koromon he would hide here all the time. Now he needed that spot more than ever.

They were running for about five minutes when they found, or more like Agumon did it, Tai just let himself being pulled away in a random direction. Agumon didn't even know if it Tai knew that he was pulling him along. Anyway, they were safe and sound for the time being, so Agumon started to pull Tai together.

"Tai, listen to me! You got to snap out of it, your acting like your going to die if you take one wrong turn. This isn't a firewall, you don't need to worry about that."

"This isn't a firewall?" Tai's voice croaked out. He was still distant.

"Yes, your in a hiding tree trying to find your courage, I can't ride my bike if you don't give me the power to work the pedals. Com'n Tai, I believe in you."

"You believe in me? Like Matt? And everyone else?"

"Yes, they are all waiting for you to come back."

Tai shook his head. "Your right, let's go buddy."

Author's Note: hehehehe... hopefully that didn't suck *^^ Anyways... I'm pretty sure Tai wouldn't lose his courage this way, nor would Matt and Tai get THAT pissed at each other due to something THAT small. Hope you like this chapter and review your feedback. I know I'm rusty at Third Person it's not funny, but here you can give me your tips and ask questions about what is going to happen next :D

BTW… I will not be continuing Tai's fight against Orgemon, I suck at battles and I'm worse in third person. I'm saving myself the humiliation…. :D Tai wins, as usual :)
