NEW CHAPTER!!! It's been extremely long since I wrote a chp to this. It should either be one more chp and the epilogue or possibly just the epilogue. Depends on how much i fit. Neway, let me bring you up to speed. Salina, you can do it.

Salina: You just said, "Let me bring you up to speed" which means you, stupid."

Angel13: Dont get all mouthy here. Don't be lazy, just read the darn thing!

Salina: No, you do it!

Angel13: *gives look as if it could crush and kill*

Salina: On second thought...

Angel13: Oh no! I'll do it now myself.

Davis: I'll do it.

Angel13: Well, why didn't you say so?

Davis: Angel13 owns nada of digimon. She does own the following: A CD Player, Salina (not much) etc.

Salina: Hey!

Angel13: You deserved it.

Davis: Ah-hem. Last time, I kinda blew up at Kora and now we are rounding up allies who will help fight the darkness. Hope light beats all.

Salina: So you mean Kari and TK will beat all?

Angel13: *sigh* You two....never mind. Anyway, back to the chapter.

The Time for Darkness Begins, the Time for Peace has Ended

Kora stood in the middle of her sister, Kara's, room. "What happened here?" Kora asked, gesturing to the mess. "Well, I've been busy." "Are you still coming to camp?" "Uh, no. I'm still working on contacting our digi-destined friends. They are tons who have already volunteered themselves, their digimon, and their other friends. But, there's still more to be done. You still going?" "Yes, by the way, I'm washing a load of clothes. Got anything?" "Yeah. Hold on." Kara began throwing things and at first, Kora caught everything easily. After five minutes, Kora was buried in a pile of socks, pants, shirts, and some papers, and a pair of sneakers. "That might be more like four or five loads of laundry and lots of trips to the dumpster..." Kora's voice came from the mountain of clothes.

Davis was standing outside of the Kamiya's apartment. He reached for the doorbell and suddenly, the door opened. "Hi, Davis!" Kari said cheerfully. She looked around. "Davis?" "Down here." Davis said. Kari looked down. "What are you doing on the floor?" "Never mind. Mind lending me a hand?" Kari pulled Davis to his feet and Kari pulled him inside. "You all packed?" Davis asked, seating himself on the sofa. "Yes, almost done." Kari pointed to the suitcase on the ground. "I'll pack my duffel and we can spend the rest of the day together until we leave for camp. Want anything?" "Lemonade?" "'K I'll get some." Kari went to the kitchen and got two glasses of lemonade and handed a glass to Davis. "The bus leaves at 3. We've got plenty of time." Davis and Kari left the apartment after they had finished their drinks and Kari had finished packing. Kari and Davis held hands as they left the apartment.

"C'mon, Tai, are you gonna smell the flowers all day or are you gonna actually help?" "Hold on, Sor. C'mere," Tai exclaimed from the other side of the shop. Sora finished arranging the flowers and stood reluctantly. "What?" "Which do you like?" "The red roses." "I didn't even show you those. Well, never mind. I'll buy you a few." "Are you ready for camp? We're gonna be counselors this year." "I'd rather be a camper." Tai groaned, "Looking after kids won't be my favorite activity." "Don't worry. Kora is going too and she plans to help the kids learn to play soccer. And, Ken, Yolei, Joe, Izzy, and Kara are staying home. They're still working on the gathering point. But pretty soon, they'll have all the help we need." "Yup," Tai said, "Three roses please." Sora handed them to Tai and he paid. "Still need me around? I still need to finish packing." "No, Kora will be switching shifts soon." "Oh, well, here's the three roses I promised. And I'll take one purple orchid, please." Sora retrieved one and Tai paid and left. Sora smiled at the three roses and placed them in a vase. "Kora, it's your turn!" Kora came down the stairs which led to the apartment. "Are you ready to go? we'll be leaving after my shift ending at 2:30 and Kara will take over. We'll be at camp for a week and we'll come home for the weekend, right?" "Yup." "Who're the flowers from?" "Tai. Well, gotta go finish packing." Sora took the vase upstairs and Kora began planting the new seeds she had bought the day before. Tai appeared at the counter and Kora heard the faint tinkling of the bell at the door. She dusted the dirt off her hands and went to wait on the customer. "Hi, Tai. Weren't you here a few minutes ago? You had to go pack is what Sora said." "Well, I'm done packing. So what's up?" "Not too much. Anyway..." Tai leaped over the counter. "C'mon, let's go sit somewhere else." Kora and Tai sat in the middle of the immense shop. Tai sat quietly and Kora sat in silence. "I brought you something." Tai handed her the lilac he had bought earlier. Kora looked at it for a minute and thanked Tai.

"Yo, Matt, how long is this summer camp thing?" "Not too long. Only a week. Sorry I'm gonna be missing band practice but some friends made an arrangement with me a few weeks ago. Think you can handle everything without me, guys?" "'Course, just get back soon. We'll have to deal with the screaming fans without you." "Fine, you can deal without me. I'll be back in a week, okay?" "Sure, see you then."

TK and Salina were at the basketball courts at the park and were playing a harsh game of one on one. The score was tied, 14-14, there was 10 seconds left, and Salina had possession of the ball. TK blocked her and finally, Salina made a wild attempt to shoot from half court. TK didn't get to block the shot and it soared for the hoop. It circled the hoop twice and TK made a desperate attempt to knock the ball off its course but it went in with a SWISH. "I won!" Salina whooped. TK moaned, "No fair. The wind blew the ball." Salina began to giggle. "It's 2:30. Let's grab our gear. We're supposed to be at the bus at 3."

The digi-destined that were going to camp were boarding the bus while Izzy, Joe, Mimi, and Kara waved from the curb. "Call!" Mimi shouted. "We'll email if anything happens." Izzy called and Kara nodded in agreement. All of the campers waved through the windows and shouted to their parents even though they couldn't be heard. Kora grinned and waved. She took out Kara's laptop. She was checking her email when a email icon appeared. Kora accepted it. "Kara: Horrible news. I found another inscription and it reads, 'When the world is plunged into darkness, the demon will inflict pain and suffering. If the Shadow King has his way, the world will remain in eternal darkness. A death will bring the destined closer and a new bond will be formed. If the destined fail, our worlds will return to the Time of Darkness.' This isn't making much sense to me. So, do your best. Tell me if you can make better sense of it." Kora sighed, "I sure don't..."

"Didja hear about the eclipse thingie?" "Yeah, it's supposed to last 40 minutes, longer than usual." "So, what, we get to watch it happen at camp!" Kora's ears perked up, Gennai had mentioned something about an eclipse. "Excuse me, when is this eclipse taking place?" Kora asked the two young boys behind her. "Tonight." "Thanks." Kora broke into a cold sweat. She quickly wrote an email to Kara.

Kara: Read the attachment. Gennai said DarkChaosmon will emerge in our world. Tonight.

She looked over at Tai who was sleeping. She glanced out the window and saw they were nearing camp. "Tai, we're almost there." "5 more minutes." Tai murmured. Kora giggled. A mail icon appeared on the screen. Kora clicked on it and the e-mail read:

Kora: Thanks for letting Izzy and I know . We'll work on something and we'll send you another e-mail. Tell all the others and make sure they have their digi-vices in case of emergency. Love-Kara

Kora put away her sister's laptop and the bus pulled into the camp's parking lot. The kids came off the bus and went towards the luggage compartments. All of the luggage was piling up and the camp director said over a megaphone, "After you find your luggage, please, report to the Mess Hall. There you will find your cabin assignments." Kora grabbed her suitcase and backpack before they could be buried under more packs. She headed to the Mess Hall and signed in. Someone gave her a clipboard containing the girls in her cabin, 7.

A red curly haired girl bounced over with a pack and a duffel. "Hi, what's your name?" "My name's Gretchen. Are you my counselor?" "Yes, I'm Kora. I can't wait to get to know you." "Where should I go till everyone comes?" "Over there." Kora pointed to an empty spot in the quickly filling hall. A shy looking girl with shoulder length blonde hair walked over hesitantly. "Are you..." "Yes, I'm your counselor, Kora. What's your name?" "Lindsey." "Lindsey, please, go and stand by the red head. Her name's Gretchen." Lindsey nodded and disappeared over by Gretchen. A girl with pale blonde hair came over with 2 huge suitcases. "Hello, you must be my counselor. Pleasure to meet you." She stuck out her hand. "You must be Vicki. I'm Kora." "What Cabin number are we? My chaffeur needs to drop off the rest of my luggage." "We are number 7. Leave enough room for two other girls." An athletic looking girl with a ponytail full of long straight black hair walked over. "Hey, I'm Katie. You must be Kora, the soccer player from Odaiba right?" "I'm from Odaiba. What have you heard about me?" "My cousin goes to your school. I think you're awesome. You're co-captain of the soccer team and captain of the cheerleading squad. When I get older, I wanna be like you. I'm gonna be on the basketball team." "Can't wait to hear about you." "Kora, guess what?" "We're in your cabin!" "Kari? Salina?" "Yup! We're gonna be the in-training counselors so we asked if we could be with you." "Hi, I'm Wanda. Is this Cabin 7?" Kora smiled, "Yes, this is..." Kora stared at the girl in front of her. She had dirty blonde hair and had a pair of ripped jeans and a t-shirt with a 'Bug Off!' symbol.

"Well, we're all here. Let's go." The girls gathered up their bags and marched off towards Cabin 7. Kari saw Tai waving at them. "Kora? Salina and I will get the girls settled in. Go and say hi to Tai!" Kari said, pushing Kora in that direction. "Is that Kora's boyfriend?" Gretchen asked. "He's kinda cute." Wanda said. Kora went over near Tai. "Hey, Kora. I'm in charge of this bunch." He gestured to a group of 5 boys and Davis and TK were among them. "Hey, Davis and TK. Hi, you guys." "This a friend of mine, Kora." A chorus of 'hey's' and 'hi's' echoed through out the group. "Well, I'll see ya." Kora waved and disappeared into the flow of incoming campers.

After settling in, eating dinner, and preparing for bed, Kora was so happy. She loved being a counselor and keeping an eye on the kids. The kids were sleeping already and Kora was about to drift off. She fell asleep and began to dream immediately. In her dream, she was floating in the middle of a huge empty black void. "Hello?" Kora asked. No answer. Then she saw a light in the distance. "Kora..." The voice whispered. A beam of light shot towards her and solidified in front of her so she was able to walk on it as if it were a road. She ran towards the voice. A figure flickered in front of her. "Cabumon?" The shadow nodded. "Cabumon, why can't I see you?" "Darkness...blocking. Must...hurry... Return to DigiWorld...before...too late. DarkChaosmon will kill...bloodshed...loved one...must go...am in danger..." Cabumon's shadow began to melt into the void. "No, Cabumon, come back! I do not understand..." "Soon...hurry...strike before...it's...too late." Cabumon disappeared as if she'd been a ghost and Kora began to sob.

Kora shot out of bed, her covers tossed aside. She got out of bed and went to the window. She stared upward and gasped fearfully. Oh no... Now, I know what Cabumon meant. The full moon was beginning to be covered. "This can't be." "What?" Kari asked sleepily. Kari climbed down from her bunk, careful to not wake Salina. "What's wrong, Kora? It looks as if you've seen a ghost." Kari yawned. "Something's wrong. Eclipses don't happen at night. What could Gennai have meant?" Kora wondered aloud when it dawned on her. DarkChaosmon can control night and day. That means, he's gonna plunge us into darkness. Now. Kora moved to her bunk frantically and pulled out Kara's laptop. "Hey, what happening?" Kari asked, rubbing at her eyes. Kora typed a quick instant message: He's arrived. The eclipse...the inscription...we need to get a move on... Kora sent it and a reply came back instantly. The moon's covered? Kora typed, Yes. Kari looked out the window, "Kora, I'm not sure what you're so worried about but the moon is gone." Kora gasped, "No, not now." She typed: Moon's gone. Need to get everyone moving now before he emerges here. We might be able to stop him before he appears. Kara's reply flashed across: Get everyone moving. Kora shut off the computer after sending an e-mail for everyone to meet in Digiworld. She woke Salina and they moved from the cabin. As the trio opened the door, the other girls woke. "Kora, Kari, Salina, where are you going?" "We've got to go somewhere. We'll be back in a few hours." Kora replied smoothly. If we can stop DarkChaosmon from emerging here. The girls nodded and went back to sleep. Kai, Salina, and Kora split up to warn the boys. Kora clutched her sister's laptop to her chest as she ran for Tai's cabin. She snuck in and woke the three boys. They followed without question and they met with the others outside. "Let's go. Digi-port open!" Kari commanded and they were sucked into Digiworld.

"Hey, what else does the inscription say?" Tai asked Izzy. Everyone had met in Digiworld. "Something about pain and suffering and a death." "Will one of us die?" Mimi asked. "No, I hope not anyway." Izzy replied. "Found him!" Kara exclaimed, "About 10 miles north of here. He's gonna open a gate into our world in 10 minutes. We have to stop him!" "Hi, guys!" "Is it our digimon?" Kara asked, shocked. "Here we come." Their digimon arrived, ready to travel. "Let's go!" Greymon said gruffly. "Got it. Let's go, team!" They disappeared quickly aboard their digimon. They galloped at top speed. "There he is!" Tai shouted. They laid eyes on DarkChaosmon for the first time. He was hidden by a huge black cloak, being held closed by white bony hands, glittering maliciously with sharp talons. They saw a pair of glittering red eyes. "Ah, the Digi-Destined. Ready to fail, my little friends?" "You'll be the one to fail! Greymon, warp-digivolve!" "You got it! Agumon warp-digivolve to...WarGreymon!" "Go get'em, WarGreymon!" "Terra Force!" DarkChaosmon blew the attack away easily and it smashed into MetalCarurumon. "Oh no! Cabumon!" The mighty mega de-digivolved all the way to rookie. "Now, who is so powerful?" DarkChaosmon asked menacingly. "How bout I show you my true force? Terra Force!" "Hey, that's WarGreymon's attack!" Tai shouted. "Cabumon!" Kora screamed. Everything was moving so fast. The attack went straight for Cabumon's seemingly lifeless body in the blink of an eye. Kora sprinted and threw her last burst of strength towards her digimon. The attack smashed into Cabumon and Cabumon immediately began to dissolve into data. "Cabumon!" Kora sobbed. "Be brave. Fight, my dear partner. I will be with you forever in your heart..." Cabumon trailed before she disappeared completely.

"Cabumon! NO!" Kora sobbed as her tears fell relentlessly. "How-how could you?!" Kora sputtered with anger. Then, DarkChaosmon continued what he was doing. "You're not even sorry for what you did!" DarkChaosmon glowed as he took the bits from Cabumon and added it to the rapidly filling bottle he had in his hand. "Now, you will never see your friend. She cannot be re-born. Mwahahaha!" DarkChaosmon cackled. "No! I won't let you get away with this!" Kora glowed with a white light, tears pouring down her cheeks even though she was seething with anger. "You will pay!" Kora's voice boomed.

Well, more action-packed. Tell me what you think. Signing off-Angel13
