Chapter 11: The Festival
A few weeks had passed since the fight with Hippogriffomon and more Digimon were invading the human world. The news were also covering it in more detail. TK had met with the other Digidestined, except Tai and told them about the new threat, but he left out the part about him and Kari being part of the new team. They all agreed to intervene if it comes to a difficult battle, but otherwise they would stay out of it. Meanwhile Claire had found the Human Spirit of Ability and Grant the Human Spirit of Strength. They were stronger now and with each attack their teamwork was improving. The only spirit missing was that of Kari. Meanwhile at school Kari was becoming more popular and losing her status as a loser. With a little help from Claire she had become the prettiest girl in the whole school, much to Holly's annoyance.
Claire: Kari! Grant! Let's go! Benny is waiting for us! He said he thinks he has an idea about these spirits!
Kari: Coming!
Grant: Do you know what he has to say?
Claire: Something about how we could find the Digi Spirits easier.
Computer room:
Benny: There you are. Listen, I think we can establish that finding the Digi Spirits will not be easy, but we do know what each spirit means. And I think if we prove the same skills in the Digital World then we can get them easily. Only thing is we don't know what Kari's spirit is. Kari do you have an idea?
Kari: No…I don't…I mean, I think I know, but I'm not sure.
Grant: We'll find out soon enough I guess. Everything is becoming more and more difficult. We really need Kari's Spirit.
Claire: I agree. But guys…one more thing…what happened to the Golden Warrior. I mean he was usually there to help us. And didn't you say Benny that he is like us? That means he is a Digidestined. But who is he and why did he disappear?
Benny (looking towards Kari): I haven't seen him around anymore and I don't know who he is. I guess none of us knows?
Grant: Well I don't…
Kari: No one does ok! Let's just get past this subject. I'll do my best to find my Spirit as well. I gotta go. I have to help out in organizing tonight's festival here at the school.
Claire (after she left): Is it just me or is she really sensitive to the subject of the Golden Warrior?
Grant: I guess…
Benny: He must have really left…I don't think she saw him either…
Claire: Whatever! I'm going home to change for the festival tonight.
A few hours later:
Nancy (TK's mom): TK! Wow they really worked a lot for this festival…what is it even for?
TK: No one knows. They just had a lot of money and decided to invite parents, students and whoever else wants to come here.
Matt: So I am whoever else?
TK: That's not what I meant!
Matt: Don't worry little bro. So I'll just get to the stand with the food. I'm so hungry!
Nancy: Oh I see the principal over there! TK I'll go talk to some of the other parents and teachers. Go to your friends.
Holly: OH! TAKERU! Ms. Takishi! How are you?
Nancy: I am quite well Holly! It's good to see you.
Holly: Takeru let's go! They have some great food here! Hey isn't that?! OH MY GOD IT'S MATT! Your brother is here?!
TK: Yeah…hehe…
Holly: MATT! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!
Matt: I'm sure you are…and who are you?
Holly: Well I'm just the coolest girl in this school and your brother's girlfriend!
TK: I wouldn't quite say girl…
Holly: So Matt, can you give me an autograph? And by the way…
Matt: Well I'll be damned!
Holly: Huh?!
Matt: Mr. Kamiya! Mr. Kamyia!
Sasumu: Matt?! I can't believe it! It's so good to see you son!
Matt: Same here! What are you doing here?
Sasumu: Kari goes here!
Matt: What?! My brother didn't tell me anything like that!
Sasumu: Well…
Camille: Wait a minute! You're Matt! The singer!
Matt: The one and only!
George: And you have a brother?!
Matt: Yupp…Takeru!
George: What?! You are like a super family! He is great at sports and you are a superstar! BENNY DID YOU HEAR IT?!
Benny: Huh…Matt…the star! Kari, Claire it's him! It's MATT!
Claire: WHAT?! MATT OH GOD! You're even hotter in real life than on TV! Kari come!
Matt: Kari! It's been a while…you're prettier than ever!
Kari: Sure has Matt…Thanks! How've you been doing?
Matt: I can't complain…How are you? TK didn't tell me you were going to the same school again…
Kari (trying to avoid the subject): Well you know him haha…you should enjoy yourself!
Claire (looking from one to the other): Wait a minute! DO YOU TWO KNOW EACH OTHER?! And who's this TK?!
Matt: Well yeah…she is…
Kari (hitting him in the gut with her elbow): TK! A he's no one…a friend of ours! And I know Matt from my brother! They used to babysit me together. Well I was kinda babysitting them…(whispering towards Matt) I'll tell you later!
Matt (not knowing what was happening): Yeah…haha (whispering towards Kari) You better explain!
Sasumu: Yeah…good times!
Matt: So Tai is still in England?
Kari: Yeah…
Holly: MAATT! There you are! What are you doing talking to these losers?!
Matt: You again…let me tell you one thing…you are not even a fraction of Kari! So shut it and get gone.
Holly: But…
Benny: Is it too difficult to understand?
Camille: That's enough everyone. Please keep it civil.
Holly: Wait till I tell your mom and brother!
Matt: Just disappear! Huh! What's that?! Oh no! It can't be!
Kari: SkullSatamon!
Matt: Crap! Of all moments!
Quickly Skullsatamon started destroying everything at the festival.
Benny: We have to stop it!
Camille: Not this again! How can you do anything? And what is that?!
Claire: We're doomed!
Grant (coming towards them): No we're not! Spirit Activate!
Together with Coronamon Grant transformed into a human torch. He was humanoid looking, but his hair and arms were burning brightly.
Holly: Did I just see what I think I saw?
Matt: Incredible…this must be what he was talking about…
Sasumu: Incredible!
Camille: How is that possible?! Is he the Golden Warrior?
Claire: No…that's not him!
Grant: Hey Skullsatamon! What do you say we fight this out somewhere else?
Skullsatamon: You wish! I have clear orders to kill the girl! MarineDevimon! Help me!
All of a sudden MarineDevimon appeared in the vicinity of the festival!
Claire: Come on Benny! We have to help him out! Grant can't do much without us!
At that Claire and Benny transformed as well. Benny suddenly looked like an animal. Claire on the other hand developed feathers around her arms, with a helmet like head cover.
Camille: Am I dreaming? My son just transformed.
Matt: This is really amazing. Humans and Digimon transforming together!
Skullsatamon: Three against two…hmm…Vilemon! Come out!
Around twenty Vilemon appeared out of the ground.
Holly: AAH! This is awful!
Skullsatamon: The girl and we won't hurt anyone!
Matt: And who might that be Skullsatamon?
Skullsatamon: You know who, Matt…
Matt: Huh? You must be the same one from all those years ago. I understand. Can any of you open a gate to the Digital World? I can bring my Digimon here and we can fight. We'll see if you stand a chance!
Skullsatamon: HAHA! We closed the gate! You won't be able to bring anyone here! Nail Bone!
A bright flash of light went straight towards Matt, but at the last second it was stopped.
Camille: It's the Golden Warrior! But that means he's the same as the rest of the kids.
Matt: So you are the Golden Warrior…Interesting. I didn't see it before. Now I recognize you…
GW: I hope you can keep it to yourself?
Skullsatamon: Hey who are you?!
Matt: I will…and this here is your doom!
Skullsatamon: Well I better call the boss then!
Voice singing: No need! It's the King of all Digimon. Lalalala
Matt: OH NO! MetalEtemon!
MetalEtemon: Well hello Digidestined! We're here to conquer your world and the Digital World but I guess you already knew that!
Matt: Damn! We need MetalGarurumon!
Camille: What are they talking about?
Nancy (running towards them): Hello! Have you seen my son?!
Camille: Ms. Takaishi? No we haven't!
Nancy: I hope nothing happened to him!
The fight started. The Golden Warrior took on MetalEtemon, while Benny was finished easily with the MarineDevimon. Claire had destroyed the Vilemon quickly and transformed back. Grant and Skullsatamon were battling fiercely, but Skullsatamon was no match for Grant, who was stronger than all the others. He and Benny transformed back as well as their energy depleted quickly.
MetalEtemon (After throwing a few punches at GW): You're tough kid. But I'm much stronger!
GW: I will fight till the end for her!
They were battling even more fiercely, but MetalEtemon was getting the upper hand.
Matt: Some things never change. He still cares about you…
Kari: I…
Benny: How do you know about their relationship?
Claire: WHAT?! Kari and the Golden Warrior are together?! That explains her reaction earlier!
Sasumu: You're dating that?
Kari: Not really…
Matt: So you've gone out with him again? I thought you were so mad at him you would never talk to him again…
Kari: Well…I didn't know who he was…when I found out…
Matt: Ah…I get it…you still have feelings for him too. But you want to repress them. You fell in love with the Golden Warrior only to find out it's the same guy…
Kari: How did you?
Matt: I'm not stupid Kari…we need your help as well. The others are too exhausted. You can't do anything about it?
Kari: Well…
Gatomon (jumping from behind the trees): It's time Kari! I have to Digivolve to the next level!
Claire: But you're already on the Champion level!
Matt: You didn't even tell them of our stories?! What's up with you and TK?!
Claire: WHO IS TK!?
Kari: Let's try it!
Gatomon: Gatomon digivolve to…Angewomon!
A beautiful angel Digimon was flying above them and they were all staring in awe.
Claire: What the hell is going on?!
Matt: Hehe…our Digimon can digivolve to the Ultimate and Mega Levels…we're the original Digidestined!
Holly: What are you people?!
Claire: I can't believe it…so you actually already know which Spirit you'll receive?
Kari: Yes…the Spirit of Light. And the Golden Warrior…he has the Spirit of Hope.
Matt: I knew it…that boy keeps surprising me. But that means that you are part of the new Digidestined as well?
Kari: Yes. Angewomon! Help him!
MetalEtemon: Well this is not fair! Dark Spirits Deluxe! HAHA!
The dark lightning hit the Golden Warrior directly. His strength slowly fading and throwing him back by a few meters, very close to Kari, Matt and the others.
Matt: NO!
He slowly began to glow and in a second he was back to his normal self.
Kari (running towards him): TK! NO! Are you ok?!
Claire: TK?! That's Takeru! OH GOD! I can't believe it! They knew each other! That explains so much!
Benny: No way…it was him all along…
Kari: Come on TK! Don't leave me like this. Don't you die on me!
Matt and Nancy ran towards the two of them as well.
TK: Guys…I'm sorry…I couldn't protect you…
Kari: Don't you dare say anything! Listen to me! You told me once you won't let me go without a fight! I'll tell you the same right now! When the dark is the strongest so is light! I need you!
Everyone was looking towards them when Kari began to shine and next to her the Spirit of Light appeared. When Kari touched it, TK's and Patamon's wounds were instantly healed.
TK: Huh…Kari! You did it!
Kari: I guess I just needed a little push…
TK: What do you say we finish this off together?
Kari: I'd love to!
Patamon: Patamon Digivolve to…Angemon!
Benny: Another angel…how is this possible?
Matt: With those two everything is possible. They're the strongest of us all…why do you think they've been part of three generations of Digidestined?!
Benny: Three generations?!
Matt: Yupp!
Nancy: I was so scared! Thank you Kari!
Kari: Human Spirit of Light activate!
TK: Human Spirit of Hope activate!
Both transformed immediately. Kari transformed into a beautiful woman with long golden hair and armor. She was the female version of TK, who already took his fighting stance.
