Sylvyr: Oh. Finally got another chapter finished. This story is a lot longer than I origianally intended and I'm nowhere near finishing it.

Kaiser: Well I think you've finally lost it. You used characters who are-mhp...(Sylvyr stuffs dinner roll in his mouth)

Sylvyr: A good authoress keeps her readers guessing.

Kaiser(spitting out roll): Or a bad one doesn't tell them what happens and they have no clue what's happening.

Sylvyr: Oh shut up.

Vegeta: Personally, I still think this story is stupid.

Sylvyr: Well who asked you anyway. Ooops. (Kaiser runs for cover as Vegeta blasts Sylvyr then stalks from room)

Kaiser(laughing insanely): I guess you shouldn't smart off to a person like that.

Sylvyr(burnt to crisp but miraculously alive): You just wait.

Kaiser: What's that supposed to mean.

Sylvyr: You'll see. Please read my story. 'til next time.

Shattered Heart...Shattered Crystal...Shattered Crest

Chapter 11

The digimon Kaiser glanced disdainfully at the children huddled on the ground beneath him.

"Come here, little boy blue," the Enchantress voice seemed to laugh cruelly as she called him to her.

He was about to comply when he heard the soft voice of Kari Kamiya.

"Enchantress, how could you do this. You ordered my brother's death! Tai never did anything to you why did you do that?"

He looked down at her, no emotions crossing through his cold frame. A single drop of crimson fell from his sword to her face, mingling with her crystal tears. He saw something in her face which he had never seen in the face of any human being before. He turned and began to climb up the tree, trying to comprehend the emotion he had seen.

"You have heartlessly hurt digimon and humans. YOU KILLED MY BROTHER! I HATE YOU!"

The Child of Light was shaking with rage; her normally soft eyes had hardened like cold marble. As if answering her desperate cry a column of darkness appeared from nowhere and engulfed her completely.

"There has to be something we can do." Tai slammed his fist into the black crystal which held him captive.

"I know how you feel Tai, but we've tried everything. Nothing's worked. We can't even chip this crystal."

"I know TK. But you've seen everything that's happened look at my little sister. The Enchantress has hurt her so much. I can't just sit here and do nothing, while that witch twists reality."

"We understand how you feel," Iori stretched his limber body and seated himself cross-legged on the floor. "However you should save your strength. An opportunity for escape will come, we should be prepared. Wasting energy trying to break this crystal when we know it can't be broken will only make things worse."

"I know! It just doesn't help."

The three of them were trapped in a dome of crystal suspended from the ceiling of the Enchantress' base. The crystal was clear and they could see into the dungeons beneath them. Gatomon and Patomon were pacing restlessly in their cells. A video monitor allowed them to see the other digidestined in their battle against the Enchantress. The crystal dome appeared to be one way because despite all their efforts none of the captive digimon seemed to be able to see them.

Kari looked hopelessly around her.

There was nothing but darkness.

She could feel her rage trying to overpower her...and she did nothing to stop it.

Something glowing approached, it was her crest, only it was almost as big as a sheet of paper and grew larger the closer it got.

I hate her. I can never forgive her for what she did to Tai. I want to hurt her as much as she hurt me, as she hurt Tai.

As soon as she thought this, her crest quit glowing and suddenly shattered into a thousand tiny shards. A wind rose from nowhere and blew them far away from Kari.

The Child of Light could have cared less.

The Kaiser climbed onto the branch next to the Enchantress, looking down at Kari, who was surrounded by darkness he turned to the Enchantress, "What do you think it means?"

"I don't know. Kari is the Child of Light. There is no reason for her to be surrounded by darkness."

At that moment the darkness surrounding her exploded outwards and upwards, barely missing the two rulers seated on the branches of the tree.

There was a simultaneous explosion from the area of the tree where the dungeon was located. The walls caved outward and something dark came out through the opening.

"Somehow, I don't think this is a good development."

"What's happening to her?" Tai stared at the image of his little sister, hidden from him by the darkness. At the same moment that the darkness exploded outwards from her, there was an explosion of darkness in the cell; the crystal wall shattered, as did all the other cell walls. Tai, TK and Iori did not have time to scream before they hit the ground.

The last thing Tai saw before he blacked out was a powerful dark digimon exiting the dungeons through the hole it had created.

"Kari, are you alright?" Sora rushed towards Kari, but stopped in her tracks when Kari looked over her shoulder at Sora. Her chocolate brown eyes were gone; in their place there was only darkness. No white, no pupil, no iris. Just darkness. "K-Kari?"

Kari turned her face upwards and started to climb the tree.

"What is that thing?" Joe asked, pointing up at the creature floating in the air outside the hole in the tree.

Izzy focused his digimon analyzer on the digimon that had escaped from the prison. She appeared to be vaguely human, but her skin was dead grey she had tiny scales. She had long straight black hair and four dark black wings; her wings and hair burned with a lightless black fire. She wore a colorless bodysuit with a black halter-top and a very revealing short skirt. Her outfit was complimented by black thigh boots and gloves. She carried a deadly bow in her right hand.

"Darkangewomon. Angewomon's dark form. Her Desolation Arrow can destroy anything in her path. Oh man. Kari has gone out of control. We have to stop her before she does something she might regret.

Darkangewomon flew down and caught up Kari; together they raced up towards the Enchantress.

Kari relished the look of terror on the Enchantress' face. It was priceless. Kari glanced over at Ken, taking into consideration the ring of dark wood circling his forehead. She knew that he was being controlled; that beneath his dark shades his deep blue eyes were ringed with red. One more thing for the Enchantress to pay for.

Darkangewomon grabbed the Enchantress by her belt and shot into the sky.

"I'm going to make you pay for what you did to my brother."

Darkangewomon dropped her, allowing her to plummet before catching her just before she was impaled on the branches of her own tree.

Kari's dark empty eyes glared down at the Enchantress, "Oh no. I won't kill you that quickly. You have committed far too many crimes for a quick death. By the time I finish with you, you will beg me to let Darkangewomon drop you."
