Digimon:
Freinds Turns Foe
Sora was the first to awaken. She looked around and noticed Tai and Matt were missing. "Everyone! Wake up! Somethings wrong!"
Everyone woke up in alarm expecting another digimon attack. When they saw that nothing was wrong they were bewildered. "Sora, what's wrong?" Asked T.K.
She got up and looked around frantically. "Tai. Matt. They're not here. They're missing."
"That doesn't mean anything." Joe replied,rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Maybe they went to go look for food or wash up."
Izzy took out his laptop and began typing. "They're not anywhere within a few miles. If they're gone, it's way out." He looked up worried.
"Why would Matt leave without me?" Gabumon asked.
"Yah and Tai would've taken me with him." Agumon added.
Sora was worried too. To be separated wasn't good. Especially in the Digiworld. "I think it's in agreement that we have to find them and soon." Everyone nodded.
"I'll help." Offered T.K.
"Me, too." Kari added. "I want to find Tai."
"More walking? Great. Can't wait."
"If it's for our frinds, I'm in!" Joe said.
"Can't go without me!" Said Izzy.
"Mimi?" Sora asked looking at the girl in all her pink managerie.
Mimi looked around to find all eyes on her. "I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm stayiong her by myself. Besides," She smiled, "I owe those two a good kick in the rear for having me woken up this early."
"Alright then. Let's get started." While everyone was getting ready to move out she walked over to Izzy. "Izzy, can you widen the range on your computer to find their digivice signals?"
"Affirmative." He began typing again. " They're off in that direction. But it's a ways out."
"Allright," She nodded to Izzy and turned to the others. "Let's go!"
The digidestined set out to find their friends.
**********************************************************************************
Imaginamon looked on with amazement. How can those two small pipsqeeks contain so much power? They are a danger to me. But it seems that with the capture of their brothers I may have a way to neutrilize the problem. He allowed himself a small smile. Not only do those two have the two strongest digimon, but they are the key to taking the power from those two called T.K. and Kari. "Maybe I should check up on our guests." Imaginamon stood up and started towards the dungeon where Matt and Tai were being held captive.
**********************************************************************************
Tai slowly opened his eyes and saw the same thing he did when they were closed. Darkness. It was pitch black wherever he was. He tried to move and get his bearings but found he couldn't move at all. He was chained to a wall and had a throbbing headache.. The last thing he remembered was falling asleep at the campsite that he and the other kids had chosen. Now he found himself in somesort of dungeon. He wondered if he was alone. "Hello?" He whispered. "Is anyone there?"
Next to him he heard someone moan. "Unh, where am I?" The voice sounded familiar.
"Matt, is that you?" Tai asked.
"Tai? Where are you? I can't see a thing." Matt tried to move and found he couldn't move either. "Hey, what's going on? Why can't I move?" He was now fully awake and very alarmed.
"We seemed to be chained to a wall. I haven't heard anyone else so I think it's safe to assume that we are alone or if the others were caught too they must be held somewhere else." Tai tested the chains and found that they were pretty strong. "I can't get loose. Can you?"
Matt tried to break free as well. "No, they're too strong." Matt thought for a moment. "Who do ya think is behind this?"
Tai turned towards where Matt's voice was coming from over to his left. "I don't know. But I have a feeling that it's whoever sent Shadowmon after us and sent us through those delusions we faced.... I hope the others weren't captured." Tai added, thinking of Kari.
"Don't worry, We'll find them." Matt replied. He glanced down at his waist. "Where's mt digivice? And crest?"
Tai looked to find his missing as well. "I don't know. But.." He stopped. he thought he heard something.
Someone had entered the room they were locked in and turned on the lights. Both boys let out gasps and cringed as the light burned their eyes. All Tai could see was a figure approach on the other side of the iron bars that held them prisoner. When his eyes adjusted to the light what he saw frightened him.
"I think I saw this guy in one of my nightmares." Matt said.
"You should be more carful what you dream of Matt." Tai replied.
The digimon was at least six feet tall and spoke in a low, deep voice. "Ah, you have awakened, my servents." He opened the gate and walked closer. "I am Imaginamon. So your the digidestined Matt and Tai?" He said examining the two. "Not much to look at but that will soon change. You have powers which can be of use to me, yes."
"We'll never serve you!" Tai said in defience. "What have you done with our digivices and crests."
"Yah, now what have you done with our friends!" Matt demanded. He yanked at the chains wishing they would break so he could beat the answer out of their captor.
Imaginamon just smiled, "I have done somework on your crests and digivicesto..improve them. And concerning you frinds. I haven't done anything. Your going to do the work for me." He raised his hand towards the boys and the energy being built was visible.
"What!" Tai explaimed.
"NO!" Matt yelled.
But it was too late. The dark energy exploded out of Imaginamon hand and shot at the two boys. They were instantly filled with darkness. Matt and Tai screamed out in agony as more energy invaded their vains. All the while Imaginamon was laughing. His hand slowly fell to his side and the screaming stopped.
The two boys were limp, their heads rested on their chests and only the chains from the wall kept them from falling to the floor. Only small gasps of air could be heard from Matt and Tai.
"How do you feel now?" Imaginamon asked.
Matt's head came up. His eyes glowed red and he laughed a miniacle laugh. "I feel alive!"
His laughter was joined by Tai's who glanced up. His eyes glowed red too and he said,"I feel reborn!"
The two boys glanced at each other and evil smiles crept upon their faces. They turned towards Imaginamon,"What do you wish of us master?" They said in unison.
He walked toward them and unlocked their chains one by one. Neither boys noticed the tears in their flash from the chains being too tight. They simply smiled and awaited an answer.
"I want you to bring the rest of the digidestined to me so that they may see the light as you have and serve me." He stepped back. "I especially want your younger siblings T.K. and Kari. Their power would be of great use to us" He pulled out his hands and gave the boys back their digivices and crests, but now both were black.
Both boys took the objects and nodded, "It will be done, my lord."Matt said.
"We shall bring all the digidestined to you as an offering." Tai bowed.
"Good! Now go!"
The red glow in Matt and Tai's eye dissappeared and they regained their normal color.
Then they set out to fofill their masters wishes.
**********************************************************************************
The digidestined had been walking in the direction Izzy had indicated for half a day now. When all of a sudden Kari and T.K. stopped.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked.
"I don't have a good feeling about this." Kari said looking out into space.
Sora turned to her. "What do you mean?" Over the time she'd known Kari she'd learn to listen to what she had to say.
"I don't know. I have a feeling of coming danger. Matt and Tai..." She hesitated.
"They what." Sora insisted.
"They're not themselves." T.K. finished.
"Who are they?" Joe asked.
"They're not different people." T.K.said. "Just.."
"It's like they don't have control over themselves anymore" Kari finished.
"If you two keep on completing each others sentences I'm going to start lose track of whose who." MImi said grabbing her head in confusion.
"If they can't control themselves...Who is?" Sora asked. A little afraid of what the answer would be.
T.K. and Kari looked at each other then back at Sora. "We don't know." They said in unison.
*********************************************************************************
After walking most of the day, the six children finally came to a mountain. Sora looked at the mountain and something about it made her shudder. She was suddenly very cold and had to wrap her arms around herself. "Izzy? Is that where they went?" She asked but didn't turn to the boy. Her gaze never left the mountain.
Izzy opened his computer and checked. He was surprised by what he saw. "Everyone come take a look at this."
Everyone huddled around the computer and looked at the screen.
"What are we supposed to be seeing?" Mimi asked.
"Yah," Joe said. "I don't see anything."
"Izzy, what's going on?" Biyomon asked.
"Well, nothing. That's the problem. I'm not getting a signal anymore. I'm not getting anything," He kept typing, trying to get the signal to show itself.
"Could it be some sort of interference?" Sora asked.
Izzt thought for a moment. "Nothing has ever interferred before but it is plausible"
Kari stopped looking at the screen and looked at the mountain. She glanced at the base of the mountain and gasped.
T.K. heard her and followed her gaze. "It's them. They're coming."
The others, at hearing this, turned their gaze to the mountain.
Sora spotted them, "It is them."
"They're coming." Joe said.
Mimi was glad to see them and started running towards them. "Matt!" She yelled. "Tai!"
Sora didn't like it. "Mimi! Wait up!" She started running after her. The others ran after Sora until they were a few feet away from the two boys.
Mimi laughed in joy at seeing them. "Hey, you guys. Where'd you go?" She asked.
"We went on a mission." Tai said nonchalantly. He didn't show any joy at seeing the rest after being gone.
"A mission?" Sora asked. "By who?" Something wasn't right.
"Gennai came to us last night and told us that there was something at the top of this mountain that we should see." Matt replied.
"Gennai?!" everyone exclaimed.
"Why would Gennai come to you and not to us?" Izzy asked.
"Well, we don't know why he asked us but we went and now...." Tai said.
"We need you to go see it." Matt finished.
"What's up there?" Joe asked.
"Yah. I'm not looking forward to hiking." Mimi said.
"Don't worry. It's not that bad." Matt said.
"And you really need to see it." Tai added.
Kari didn't buy it. Something felt wrong. "What's up there that's so important." She persisted.
T.k. was with her. "What are you so insistant that we see it?"
"We want you to see the truth." Matt said with a smile. "Squirt."
"Up there is a mansion. Where we can stay and rest." Tai added.
"A mansion?' Mimi said. You could tell that she was convinced.
"Maybe we can wash up." Joe suggested.
"So let's stop talking." Matt said.
"And start walking." Tai said. He then turned around and began walking back towards the mountain.
Mimi and Joe followed right away. Izzy closed his computer and followed next. The digimon followed next. Sora bent down to Kari and T.K. "What do you think?"
Kari shook her head. "I don't buy it."
"Something's wrong." T.K. said.
"Well, we can't leave the others. But keep you eyes open and tell me if you see anything or feel anything suspicious." Both children nodded and folloewed Sora and raqn to catch up with the rest.
**********************************************************************************
Imaginamon watched all this with great amusement. Those little brats have no idea that their friends are working for me. Those two young ones might be a problem though. They know something. I must have them over to my side before they find out their true power.
*********************************************************************************
It was now dark and it was getting cold fast. Mimi made it a point to tell everyone this more than once. "I'm cold and it's dark, and I'm getting tired."
"Don't worry, there's a cave just up ahead. We can rest there tonight." Matt said.
"A cave?" Sora questioned. "How do you know it's there?"
"We saw it on our way up." Tai replied.
The children followed Tai and Matt until they came to the cave they had spoke about. The digimon had found food and the children had eaten and gone to bed. That night while everyone slept, Tai and Matt exited the cave to speak to their master. Little did they know that they were being followed by two young spie. T.K. and Kari had woken up and saw Tai and Matt leave. They now hid in the bushes as Imaginamon silently approached and began talking to the two boys.
"Tomorrow you will bring them to the mansion. It is then when I will capture them and turn them to my side. You must make sure your siblings do not interfere." Imaginamon said.
"Yes, my Lord." Tai responded.
"We will even hold them for you personally. To prove our loyalty." Matt added. Both boys bowed and when their heads came up, Kari saw the red glow in their eyes. She gasped.
"What was that?" Imaginamon asked.
Tai and Matt started to walk back to where T.K. and Kari were hiding. T.K. covered Kari's mouth with one hand and held the other to his mouth indicating her not to make a sound.
Tai reached his hand into the bushes....
"Never mind them!" Imaginamon said. "Get back to the cave before the children find out that you were missing. The boys turned on their heels and started back towards the cave.
When Imaginamon was gone T.K. reemoved hios hand from Kari's mouth. "We have to beat them there and make sure they don't know we were gone." Kari nodded in agreement and they set back towards the cave.
They beat Tai and Matt and quickly pretended to fall back asleep. When the two returned Kari opened one eye and saw their eyes were back to normal. I have to tell Sora. Kari thought
********************************************************************************
In the morning the kids ate breakfast and started up the hill. Kari had tried to pull Sora away and tell her what happened last night but Tai always managed to intervene. She now pulled Sora away in one last attempt to warn her.
"Sora, something happened last night. I saw..."
"We here!" Matt exclaimed.
The came upon the mansion and everyone stood in awe. Everyone, that is, except Tai and Matt.
"Let's go inside and have a look around." Tai suggested.
Nobody moved. "Come you guys." Tai insisted.
"What if there are evil digimon in there." Joe said.
"Yah, we could be walking into a trap." Mimi said.
Matt walked up and through one arm around Mimi and the other around Joe. "Hey don't worry!" When he said that, T.K. could see black energy transfere from his brother, over to both Joe and Mimi. Their eyes became ever-so-slightly clouded and both smiled.
"Yah!" They shouted in unison and ran towards the mansion and in through the door. Their digimon followed them.
"Wait! Stop!" Sora yelled.
"What if it's a trick! Remember Devimon's mansion!" Izzy yelled.
Tai walked up and wrapped his arms around Sora and Izzy in the same fashion as Matt had and were instantly convinced of the mansion's stability.
"Let's go." They yelled and ran into the house. Biyomon and Tentomon flew after them.
Kari gasped and bagan to back off. She clenched her crest and held it close to her heart. T.K. began to back up as well.
Tai and Matt began to laugh and turned towards the two last children. "Well, let's go" Tai said as he outstreatched his hand towards Kari.
"Yah don't want to keep them waiting." Matt said as he reached for T.K.
Patamon and Gatomon knew they had to protect the children but they couldn't attack their friends either. Before they could decide what to do. Tai and Matt pulled out their crests and a black beam hit the two digimon. They cried out and fell to the floor. All color to their skin was gone.
"Patamon!"
"Gatomon!"
"So much for them." Tai said.
"Now for you two.": Matt said.
The two boys closed in on their siblings.
Screams were then heard from the mansion and the house disappeared. It was replaced by a huge cage that trapped the digidestined. They seemed to come out of their daze and were surprised to find out where they were.
"Huh?" Sora said. She then spotted the two children about to be caught by their own brothers. "T.K.! Kari! Run!"
T.K. jumped behind Kari and pushed her towards her brother. She slipped right through his legs and landed behind him. T.K. then dove under Matt's legs and came out on the other side. He grabbed Kari by the hand and they started running towards the cage that held their friends prisoner. Before they could get there though Imaginamon appeared in front of them.
"I don't think so." He said. "Matt! Tai! Get them." He comanded.
From behind them Tai and Matt grabbed T.K. and Kari. T.K. tried to get free but his brother held him tight. Kari tried to get loose but Tai held her arms at her sides.
"Now that you are here, I will fill you with dark energy and you will join your brothers in serving me!" Said Imaginamon.
He advanced towards them and T.K. saw his chance. He glanced over at Kari and nodded. Kari got the message and nodded back. T.K. opened his mouth and bit down on Matt's arm as hard as he could. Matt yelped in pain and let go. Kari took this opportunity and stomped her foot down on Tai foot. He yelled out in pain and released Kari from his grip. She fell, but T.K. helped her up. He grabbed her hand and they started running towards the cage.
"Stop them!" Imaginamon yelled.
Matt and Tai started running after them but T.K. and Kari reached the cage before they were caught. Then with Kari's crest of light glowing she held out her hands and a light wall formed in front of her. Matt and Tai stopped and cringed at the light as if it were fire and could harm them. T.K. then took out the weapon he retrieved from his brother.
Sora was at the gate and gasped at she saw T.K. pull out a knife. "T.K. where...?" She began
"My brother always had it on him in case he got into trouble. Now stand back." T.K. said. Sora did as she was told and moved away from the gate. T.K. raised the knife over his head and his crest started to glow. Then from the power of the crest, the knife began to glow yellow. When T.K. swung the knife down and it hit the lock, the lock was split in two and the gate was open.
The the digimon began to digivolved.
BIYOMON DIGIVOLVE TO BIRDRAMON
TENTOMON DIGIVOLVE TO KABUTERIMON
PALMON DIGIVOLVE TO TOGEMON
GOMAMON DIGIVOLVE TO IKKAKUMON
"Meteor Wing"
"Electro Shocker"
"Needle Spray"
"Harpoon Torpedo"
The digimon's attacks did little against Imaginamon. He simple dodged them and unleash his own.
"Evil ray!" A ray of crimson lshed out in every direction. The digimon were thrown down as well as the digidestined. The blast cause the digimon to devolve.
"Boy, that one hurt." Sora said trying to get up.
"Yah," Joe said. "Like getting hit with a speeding train." Also unable to regain his footing.
T.K. and Kari were blown back and hit a wall of rock behind them. T.k. crawled over to Kari to see if she was all right but never made it. Imaginamon came and scooped up the two children. "This works out better then I had hoped. Matt! Tai! You two will turn these two over to our side. Just use your crests and it will magnify your dark energy and destroy your siblings goodness and turn them evil."
T.K. struggled but could barely breath let alone escape. He looked at his brother and wished there was someway to undo what had been done.
I will never give up hope though. I know my brother is in there somewhere and if I have to I will fight till the day I get to see my brother returned to normal. As T.K. thought this his crest began to glow.
Kari thought this was the end she would not die, but she may as well had. Her own brother was about to destroy her and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
No! Don't think that. She thought to her self. My brother has always been a fighter and I know he and I together will overcome this obsticle and defeat this evil. Kari'd crest also began to glow.
The crest of Hope and Light glowed brighter until it shot a ray of light at Imaginamon and he released them.
"Kari! T.K! Get out of there." Sora said. She and the others were racing over to try and protect the youngest in their group.
"No!" T.K. yelled. "Stop!" Sora and the others stopped running and looked at the two in confusion.
"Let them do it!" Kari said. Her gaze then fell to her older brother who had his crest out ready and aimed at her heart.
"So," Tai said. "You have excepted the truth."
"No." Kari replied. "But I will not fight my own brother. We've been through too much together"
"We have too, Matt" T.K. added. "When Mom and Dad broke up, you were always there to protect me and shield me." That made Matt freeze in his tracks.
"And didn't you always stick up for me when the kids at school picked on me?" Kari said to Tai. "You can't give in to this spell! You have to fight it!"
"You have to be strong." T.K. said.
Matt seemed to come out for a while. He looked at his brother with a sorry expression on his face, then it turned into a sinister smile.
"Ok. Then you leave us no choice." T.K. and Kari folded their hands as though to pray and their crest began to glow. Matt and Tai stepped back and then it happened. T.K. and Kari shot forth their hands and a ray of light shot out from their hands. The rays hit Matt and Tai straight on. They screamed in pain and doubled over. Behind them a black shadow could be seen coming out from behind them. But it only got half way out.
"We need more power." Kari said.
T.K. and Kari then raised their hands towards the sky and everyone's crest began to glow. Love, Reliability, Knowledge, and Sincerity all glowed and shot rays of light towards T.K. and Kari. They built up the energy above them like a storm and two rays of light hit Matt and Tai. That was the final hit. It was all that was needed, the shadow was fully driven out and the boys fell to their knees.
The children ran to the boys to help them up. "Are you ok? Are you back to normal?" Sora asked.
Tai looked up and seemed to wake up from a deep sleep. "Yeah, I'm ok." He replied slowly.
"I feel like I've been trapped in a small box without an exit." Matt said.
Tai looked around and found his sister. She and T.K. had collasped from being the center of the energy storm. Neither stirred. "Kari!" Tai yelled.
"T.K.!" Matt cried.
Tai fell beside his fallen sister and held her head in his lap.
She's so small and yet she saved me.
Kari stirred and her eyes fluttered opened.
"Your ok!" Tai said.
"No, I'm not. I took too much in. I won't...." She never completed her sentence. Her eyes closed and she was gone.
No! This can't be! Tai thought. No!!!! Tai then began to cry.
Matt bent down his little brother and knew it was the same for him. He felt a tear come to his eye but he didn't care. He let it fall and land on T.K.'s heart.
It should have been me! Both boys silently cried out.
Their crests began to glow and Kari and T.K. started to glow white. They lifted from the ground and began to slowly spin. Tai looked up in awe and Matt did the same. When they came down, each landed in their siblings arms. T.K. moaned and opened his eyes. "Matt? Are you back?"
Matt just cried more amd lightly laughed. "Thanks to you I am Squirt."
Tai was filled with relief as Kari just opened her eyes and smiled. "I love you, big bro." Was all she had to say.
"I love you too, Kari." Tai said. He was suddenly filled with rage. "Sora, take Kari." He handed his sister over to Sora. "Now it's my turn to save you." He said to Kari.
Matt handed T.K. over to Joe. "Don't worry. We're back." He said to T.K.
"Hey Tai!" He yelled out. "I think it's time to teach this digilooser a lesson!"
"I'm with you Matt! Nothing two mega digimon can't handle." He turned towards Agumon. "You ready, digi-bud?"
"Ready and able!" The little dinosaur replied.
AGUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO....WARGREYMON!
"You still with me, Gabumon?" Matt asked.
"Always and forever." Gabumon replied!
GABUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO...METALGARURUMON!
"Oh, I'm really touched. But you be able to defeat me." Imaginamon said. "Evil Ray!"
"Mega Claw!" WarGreymon shouted.
"Ice Wolf Claw!" MetalGarurumon shouted.
Imaginamon's attack was broken by the two Mega attacks.
"Now to finish him off! Attack!" Tai shouted.
"Now!" Mat yelled.
"Metal Wolf Claw!"
"Terra Force!"
The attacks hit Imaginamon right on. He shouted and dissolved into digi-data. After he was destroyed Gatomon and Patamon returned to normal. Tsunomon and Koromon joined Tai and Matt to help the digidestined leave the mountain and all it's experiences in the past.
**********************************************************************************
A few days after the incident Tai still felt guilty over what had happened even though Kari had repeatedly told him it wasn't his fault. That it was beyond his control. Matt was having trouble too, but now that the problem was fixed he seemed better to adjust.
Well, Tai thought, She may be small, but her courage and strength are beyond her years. I think I learned something today. My little sister is growing up, but she still needs me as much as I need her.
That night when Kari slept Tai looked up at the sky. Don't worry Mom, I'll take care of her. With that he lay next to his sister and fell asleep.
The End
Freinds Turns Foe
Sora was the first to awaken. She looked around and noticed Tai and Matt were missing. "Everyone! Wake up! Somethings wrong!"
Everyone woke up in alarm expecting another digimon attack. When they saw that nothing was wrong they were bewildered. "Sora, what's wrong?" Asked T.K.
She got up and looked around frantically. "Tai. Matt. They're not here. They're missing."
"That doesn't mean anything." Joe replied,rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Maybe they went to go look for food or wash up."
Izzy took out his laptop and began typing. "They're not anywhere within a few miles. If they're gone, it's way out." He looked up worried.
"Why would Matt leave without me?" Gabumon asked.
"Yah and Tai would've taken me with him." Agumon added.
Sora was worried too. To be separated wasn't good. Especially in the Digiworld. "I think it's in agreement that we have to find them and soon." Everyone nodded.
"I'll help." Offered T.K.
"Me, too." Kari added. "I want to find Tai."
"More walking? Great. Can't wait."
"If it's for our frinds, I'm in!" Joe said.
"Can't go without me!" Said Izzy.
"Mimi?" Sora asked looking at the girl in all her pink managerie.
Mimi looked around to find all eyes on her. "I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm stayiong her by myself. Besides," She smiled, "I owe those two a good kick in the rear for having me woken up this early."
"Alright then. Let's get started." While everyone was getting ready to move out she walked over to Izzy. "Izzy, can you widen the range on your computer to find their digivice signals?"
"Affirmative." He began typing again. " They're off in that direction. But it's a ways out."
"Allright," She nodded to Izzy and turned to the others. "Let's go!"
The digidestined set out to find their friends.
**********************************************************************************
Imaginamon looked on with amazement. How can those two small pipsqeeks contain so much power? They are a danger to me. But it seems that with the capture of their brothers I may have a way to neutrilize the problem. He allowed himself a small smile. Not only do those two have the two strongest digimon, but they are the key to taking the power from those two called T.K. and Kari. "Maybe I should check up on our guests." Imaginamon stood up and started towards the dungeon where Matt and Tai were being held captive.
**********************************************************************************
Tai slowly opened his eyes and saw the same thing he did when they were closed. Darkness. It was pitch black wherever he was. He tried to move and get his bearings but found he couldn't move at all. He was chained to a wall and had a throbbing headache.. The last thing he remembered was falling asleep at the campsite that he and the other kids had chosen. Now he found himself in somesort of dungeon. He wondered if he was alone. "Hello?" He whispered. "Is anyone there?"
Next to him he heard someone moan. "Unh, where am I?" The voice sounded familiar.
"Matt, is that you?" Tai asked.
"Tai? Where are you? I can't see a thing." Matt tried to move and found he couldn't move either. "Hey, what's going on? Why can't I move?" He was now fully awake and very alarmed.
"We seemed to be chained to a wall. I haven't heard anyone else so I think it's safe to assume that we are alone or if the others were caught too they must be held somewhere else." Tai tested the chains and found that they were pretty strong. "I can't get loose. Can you?"
Matt tried to break free as well. "No, they're too strong." Matt thought for a moment. "Who do ya think is behind this?"
Tai turned towards where Matt's voice was coming from over to his left. "I don't know. But I have a feeling that it's whoever sent Shadowmon after us and sent us through those delusions we faced.... I hope the others weren't captured." Tai added, thinking of Kari.
"Don't worry, We'll find them." Matt replied. He glanced down at his waist. "Where's mt digivice? And crest?"
Tai looked to find his missing as well. "I don't know. But.." He stopped. he thought he heard something.
Someone had entered the room they were locked in and turned on the lights. Both boys let out gasps and cringed as the light burned their eyes. All Tai could see was a figure approach on the other side of the iron bars that held them prisoner. When his eyes adjusted to the light what he saw frightened him.
"I think I saw this guy in one of my nightmares." Matt said.
"You should be more carful what you dream of Matt." Tai replied.
The digimon was at least six feet tall and spoke in a low, deep voice. "Ah, you have awakened, my servents." He opened the gate and walked closer. "I am Imaginamon. So your the digidestined Matt and Tai?" He said examining the two. "Not much to look at but that will soon change. You have powers which can be of use to me, yes."
"We'll never serve you!" Tai said in defience. "What have you done with our digivices and crests."
"Yah, now what have you done with our friends!" Matt demanded. He yanked at the chains wishing they would break so he could beat the answer out of their captor.
Imaginamon just smiled, "I have done somework on your crests and digivicesto..improve them. And concerning you frinds. I haven't done anything. Your going to do the work for me." He raised his hand towards the boys and the energy being built was visible.
"What!" Tai explaimed.
"NO!" Matt yelled.
But it was too late. The dark energy exploded out of Imaginamon hand and shot at the two boys. They were instantly filled with darkness. Matt and Tai screamed out in agony as more energy invaded their vains. All the while Imaginamon was laughing. His hand slowly fell to his side and the screaming stopped.
The two boys were limp, their heads rested on their chests and only the chains from the wall kept them from falling to the floor. Only small gasps of air could be heard from Matt and Tai.
"How do you feel now?" Imaginamon asked.
Matt's head came up. His eyes glowed red and he laughed a miniacle laugh. "I feel alive!"
His laughter was joined by Tai's who glanced up. His eyes glowed red too and he said,"I feel reborn!"
The two boys glanced at each other and evil smiles crept upon their faces. They turned towards Imaginamon,"What do you wish of us master?" They said in unison.
He walked toward them and unlocked their chains one by one. Neither boys noticed the tears in their flash from the chains being too tight. They simply smiled and awaited an answer.
"I want you to bring the rest of the digidestined to me so that they may see the light as you have and serve me." He stepped back. "I especially want your younger siblings T.K. and Kari. Their power would be of great use to us" He pulled out his hands and gave the boys back their digivices and crests, but now both were black.
Both boys took the objects and nodded, "It will be done, my lord."Matt said.
"We shall bring all the digidestined to you as an offering." Tai bowed.
"Good! Now go!"
The red glow in Matt and Tai's eye dissappeared and they regained their normal color.
Then they set out to fofill their masters wishes.
**********************************************************************************
The digidestined had been walking in the direction Izzy had indicated for half a day now. When all of a sudden Kari and T.K. stopped.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked.
"I don't have a good feeling about this." Kari said looking out into space.
Sora turned to her. "What do you mean?" Over the time she'd known Kari she'd learn to listen to what she had to say.
"I don't know. I have a feeling of coming danger. Matt and Tai..." She hesitated.
"They what." Sora insisted.
"They're not themselves." T.K. finished.
"Who are they?" Joe asked.
"They're not different people." T.K.said. "Just.."
"It's like they don't have control over themselves anymore" Kari finished.
"If you two keep on completing each others sentences I'm going to start lose track of whose who." MImi said grabbing her head in confusion.
"If they can't control themselves...Who is?" Sora asked. A little afraid of what the answer would be.
T.K. and Kari looked at each other then back at Sora. "We don't know." They said in unison.
*********************************************************************************
After walking most of the day, the six children finally came to a mountain. Sora looked at the mountain and something about it made her shudder. She was suddenly very cold and had to wrap her arms around herself. "Izzy? Is that where they went?" She asked but didn't turn to the boy. Her gaze never left the mountain.
Izzy opened his computer and checked. He was surprised by what he saw. "Everyone come take a look at this."
Everyone huddled around the computer and looked at the screen.
"What are we supposed to be seeing?" Mimi asked.
"Yah," Joe said. "I don't see anything."
"Izzy, what's going on?" Biyomon asked.
"Well, nothing. That's the problem. I'm not getting a signal anymore. I'm not getting anything," He kept typing, trying to get the signal to show itself.
"Could it be some sort of interference?" Sora asked.
Izzt thought for a moment. "Nothing has ever interferred before but it is plausible"
Kari stopped looking at the screen and looked at the mountain. She glanced at the base of the mountain and gasped.
T.K. heard her and followed her gaze. "It's them. They're coming."
The others, at hearing this, turned their gaze to the mountain.
Sora spotted them, "It is them."
"They're coming." Joe said.
Mimi was glad to see them and started running towards them. "Matt!" She yelled. "Tai!"
Sora didn't like it. "Mimi! Wait up!" She started running after her. The others ran after Sora until they were a few feet away from the two boys.
Mimi laughed in joy at seeing them. "Hey, you guys. Where'd you go?" She asked.
"We went on a mission." Tai said nonchalantly. He didn't show any joy at seeing the rest after being gone.
"A mission?" Sora asked. "By who?" Something wasn't right.
"Gennai came to us last night and told us that there was something at the top of this mountain that we should see." Matt replied.
"Gennai?!" everyone exclaimed.
"Why would Gennai come to you and not to us?" Izzy asked.
"Well, we don't know why he asked us but we went and now...." Tai said.
"We need you to go see it." Matt finished.
"What's up there?" Joe asked.
"Yah. I'm not looking forward to hiking." Mimi said.
"Don't worry. It's not that bad." Matt said.
"And you really need to see it." Tai added.
Kari didn't buy it. Something felt wrong. "What's up there that's so important." She persisted.
T.k. was with her. "What are you so insistant that we see it?"
"We want you to see the truth." Matt said with a smile. "Squirt."
"Up there is a mansion. Where we can stay and rest." Tai added.
"A mansion?' Mimi said. You could tell that she was convinced.
"Maybe we can wash up." Joe suggested.
"So let's stop talking." Matt said.
"And start walking." Tai said. He then turned around and began walking back towards the mountain.
Mimi and Joe followed right away. Izzy closed his computer and followed next. The digimon followed next. Sora bent down to Kari and T.K. "What do you think?"
Kari shook her head. "I don't buy it."
"Something's wrong." T.K. said.
"Well, we can't leave the others. But keep you eyes open and tell me if you see anything or feel anything suspicious." Both children nodded and folloewed Sora and raqn to catch up with the rest.
**********************************************************************************
Imaginamon watched all this with great amusement. Those little brats have no idea that their friends are working for me. Those two young ones might be a problem though. They know something. I must have them over to my side before they find out their true power.
*********************************************************************************
It was now dark and it was getting cold fast. Mimi made it a point to tell everyone this more than once. "I'm cold and it's dark, and I'm getting tired."
"Don't worry, there's a cave just up ahead. We can rest there tonight." Matt said.
"A cave?" Sora questioned. "How do you know it's there?"
"We saw it on our way up." Tai replied.
The children followed Tai and Matt until they came to the cave they had spoke about. The digimon had found food and the children had eaten and gone to bed. That night while everyone slept, Tai and Matt exited the cave to speak to their master. Little did they know that they were being followed by two young spie. T.K. and Kari had woken up and saw Tai and Matt leave. They now hid in the bushes as Imaginamon silently approached and began talking to the two boys.
"Tomorrow you will bring them to the mansion. It is then when I will capture them and turn them to my side. You must make sure your siblings do not interfere." Imaginamon said.
"Yes, my Lord." Tai responded.
"We will even hold them for you personally. To prove our loyalty." Matt added. Both boys bowed and when their heads came up, Kari saw the red glow in their eyes. She gasped.
"What was that?" Imaginamon asked.
Tai and Matt started to walk back to where T.K. and Kari were hiding. T.K. covered Kari's mouth with one hand and held the other to his mouth indicating her not to make a sound.
Tai reached his hand into the bushes....
"Never mind them!" Imaginamon said. "Get back to the cave before the children find out that you were missing. The boys turned on their heels and started back towards the cave.
When Imaginamon was gone T.K. reemoved hios hand from Kari's mouth. "We have to beat them there and make sure they don't know we were gone." Kari nodded in agreement and they set back towards the cave.
They beat Tai and Matt and quickly pretended to fall back asleep. When the two returned Kari opened one eye and saw their eyes were back to normal. I have to tell Sora. Kari thought
********************************************************************************
In the morning the kids ate breakfast and started up the hill. Kari had tried to pull Sora away and tell her what happened last night but Tai always managed to intervene. She now pulled Sora away in one last attempt to warn her.
"Sora, something happened last night. I saw..."
"We here!" Matt exclaimed.
The came upon the mansion and everyone stood in awe. Everyone, that is, except Tai and Matt.
"Let's go inside and have a look around." Tai suggested.
Nobody moved. "Come you guys." Tai insisted.
"What if there are evil digimon in there." Joe said.
"Yah, we could be walking into a trap." Mimi said.
Matt walked up and through one arm around Mimi and the other around Joe. "Hey don't worry!" When he said that, T.K. could see black energy transfere from his brother, over to both Joe and Mimi. Their eyes became ever-so-slightly clouded and both smiled.
"Yah!" They shouted in unison and ran towards the mansion and in through the door. Their digimon followed them.
"Wait! Stop!" Sora yelled.
"What if it's a trick! Remember Devimon's mansion!" Izzy yelled.
Tai walked up and wrapped his arms around Sora and Izzy in the same fashion as Matt had and were instantly convinced of the mansion's stability.
"Let's go." They yelled and ran into the house. Biyomon and Tentomon flew after them.
Kari gasped and bagan to back off. She clenched her crest and held it close to her heart. T.K. began to back up as well.
Tai and Matt began to laugh and turned towards the two last children. "Well, let's go" Tai said as he outstreatched his hand towards Kari.
"Yah don't want to keep them waiting." Matt said as he reached for T.K.
Patamon and Gatomon knew they had to protect the children but they couldn't attack their friends either. Before they could decide what to do. Tai and Matt pulled out their crests and a black beam hit the two digimon. They cried out and fell to the floor. All color to their skin was gone.
"Patamon!"
"Gatomon!"
"So much for them." Tai said.
"Now for you two.": Matt said.
The two boys closed in on their siblings.
Screams were then heard from the mansion and the house disappeared. It was replaced by a huge cage that trapped the digidestined. They seemed to come out of their daze and were surprised to find out where they were.
"Huh?" Sora said. She then spotted the two children about to be caught by their own brothers. "T.K.! Kari! Run!"
T.K. jumped behind Kari and pushed her towards her brother. She slipped right through his legs and landed behind him. T.K. then dove under Matt's legs and came out on the other side. He grabbed Kari by the hand and they started running towards the cage that held their friends prisoner. Before they could get there though Imaginamon appeared in front of them.
"I don't think so." He said. "Matt! Tai! Get them." He comanded.
From behind them Tai and Matt grabbed T.K. and Kari. T.K. tried to get free but his brother held him tight. Kari tried to get loose but Tai held her arms at her sides.
"Now that you are here, I will fill you with dark energy and you will join your brothers in serving me!" Said Imaginamon.
He advanced towards them and T.K. saw his chance. He glanced over at Kari and nodded. Kari got the message and nodded back. T.K. opened his mouth and bit down on Matt's arm as hard as he could. Matt yelped in pain and let go. Kari took this opportunity and stomped her foot down on Tai foot. He yelled out in pain and released Kari from his grip. She fell, but T.K. helped her up. He grabbed her hand and they started running towards the cage.
"Stop them!" Imaginamon yelled.
Matt and Tai started running after them but T.K. and Kari reached the cage before they were caught. Then with Kari's crest of light glowing she held out her hands and a light wall formed in front of her. Matt and Tai stopped and cringed at the light as if it were fire and could harm them. T.K. then took out the weapon he retrieved from his brother.
Sora was at the gate and gasped at she saw T.K. pull out a knife. "T.K. where...?" She began
"My brother always had it on him in case he got into trouble. Now stand back." T.K. said. Sora did as she was told and moved away from the gate. T.K. raised the knife over his head and his crest started to glow. Then from the power of the crest, the knife began to glow yellow. When T.K. swung the knife down and it hit the lock, the lock was split in two and the gate was open.
The the digimon began to digivolved.
BIYOMON DIGIVOLVE TO BIRDRAMON
TENTOMON DIGIVOLVE TO KABUTERIMON
PALMON DIGIVOLVE TO TOGEMON
GOMAMON DIGIVOLVE TO IKKAKUMON
"Meteor Wing"
"Electro Shocker"
"Needle Spray"
"Harpoon Torpedo"
The digimon's attacks did little against Imaginamon. He simple dodged them and unleash his own.
"Evil ray!" A ray of crimson lshed out in every direction. The digimon were thrown down as well as the digidestined. The blast cause the digimon to devolve.
"Boy, that one hurt." Sora said trying to get up.
"Yah," Joe said. "Like getting hit with a speeding train." Also unable to regain his footing.
T.K. and Kari were blown back and hit a wall of rock behind them. T.k. crawled over to Kari to see if she was all right but never made it. Imaginamon came and scooped up the two children. "This works out better then I had hoped. Matt! Tai! You two will turn these two over to our side. Just use your crests and it will magnify your dark energy and destroy your siblings goodness and turn them evil."
T.K. struggled but could barely breath let alone escape. He looked at his brother and wished there was someway to undo what had been done.
I will never give up hope though. I know my brother is in there somewhere and if I have to I will fight till the day I get to see my brother returned to normal. As T.K. thought this his crest began to glow.
Kari thought this was the end she would not die, but she may as well had. Her own brother was about to destroy her and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
No! Don't think that. She thought to her self. My brother has always been a fighter and I know he and I together will overcome this obsticle and defeat this evil. Kari'd crest also began to glow.
The crest of Hope and Light glowed brighter until it shot a ray of light at Imaginamon and he released them.
"Kari! T.K! Get out of there." Sora said. She and the others were racing over to try and protect the youngest in their group.
"No!" T.K. yelled. "Stop!" Sora and the others stopped running and looked at the two in confusion.
"Let them do it!" Kari said. Her gaze then fell to her older brother who had his crest out ready and aimed at her heart.
"So," Tai said. "You have excepted the truth."
"No." Kari replied. "But I will not fight my own brother. We've been through too much together"
"We have too, Matt" T.K. added. "When Mom and Dad broke up, you were always there to protect me and shield me." That made Matt freeze in his tracks.
"And didn't you always stick up for me when the kids at school picked on me?" Kari said to Tai. "You can't give in to this spell! You have to fight it!"
"You have to be strong." T.K. said.
Matt seemed to come out for a while. He looked at his brother with a sorry expression on his face, then it turned into a sinister smile.
"Ok. Then you leave us no choice." T.K. and Kari folded their hands as though to pray and their crest began to glow. Matt and Tai stepped back and then it happened. T.K. and Kari shot forth their hands and a ray of light shot out from their hands. The rays hit Matt and Tai straight on. They screamed in pain and doubled over. Behind them a black shadow could be seen coming out from behind them. But it only got half way out.
"We need more power." Kari said.
T.K. and Kari then raised their hands towards the sky and everyone's crest began to glow. Love, Reliability, Knowledge, and Sincerity all glowed and shot rays of light towards T.K. and Kari. They built up the energy above them like a storm and two rays of light hit Matt and Tai. That was the final hit. It was all that was needed, the shadow was fully driven out and the boys fell to their knees.
The children ran to the boys to help them up. "Are you ok? Are you back to normal?" Sora asked.
Tai looked up and seemed to wake up from a deep sleep. "Yeah, I'm ok." He replied slowly.
"I feel like I've been trapped in a small box without an exit." Matt said.
Tai looked around and found his sister. She and T.K. had collasped from being the center of the energy storm. Neither stirred. "Kari!" Tai yelled.
"T.K.!" Matt cried.
Tai fell beside his fallen sister and held her head in his lap.
She's so small and yet she saved me.
Kari stirred and her eyes fluttered opened.
"Your ok!" Tai said.
"No, I'm not. I took too much in. I won't...." She never completed her sentence. Her eyes closed and she was gone.
No! This can't be! Tai thought. No!!!! Tai then began to cry.
Matt bent down his little brother and knew it was the same for him. He felt a tear come to his eye but he didn't care. He let it fall and land on T.K.'s heart.
It should have been me! Both boys silently cried out.
Their crests began to glow and Kari and T.K. started to glow white. They lifted from the ground and began to slowly spin. Tai looked up in awe and Matt did the same. When they came down, each landed in their siblings arms. T.K. moaned and opened his eyes. "Matt? Are you back?"
Matt just cried more amd lightly laughed. "Thanks to you I am Squirt."
Tai was filled with relief as Kari just opened her eyes and smiled. "I love you, big bro." Was all she had to say.
"I love you too, Kari." Tai said. He was suddenly filled with rage. "Sora, take Kari." He handed his sister over to Sora. "Now it's my turn to save you." He said to Kari.
Matt handed T.K. over to Joe. "Don't worry. We're back." He said to T.K.
"Hey Tai!" He yelled out. "I think it's time to teach this digilooser a lesson!"
"I'm with you Matt! Nothing two mega digimon can't handle." He turned towards Agumon. "You ready, digi-bud?"
"Ready and able!" The little dinosaur replied.
AGUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO....WARGREYMON!
"You still with me, Gabumon?" Matt asked.
"Always and forever." Gabumon replied!
GABUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO...METALGARURUMON!
"Oh, I'm really touched. But you be able to defeat me." Imaginamon said. "Evil Ray!"
"Mega Claw!" WarGreymon shouted.
"Ice Wolf Claw!" MetalGarurumon shouted.
Imaginamon's attack was broken by the two Mega attacks.
"Now to finish him off! Attack!" Tai shouted.
"Now!" Mat yelled.
"Metal Wolf Claw!"
"Terra Force!"
The attacks hit Imaginamon right on. He shouted and dissolved into digi-data. After he was destroyed Gatomon and Patamon returned to normal. Tsunomon and Koromon joined Tai and Matt to help the digidestined leave the mountain and all it's experiences in the past.
**********************************************************************************
A few days after the incident Tai still felt guilty over what had happened even though Kari had repeatedly told him it wasn't his fault. That it was beyond his control. Matt was having trouble too, but now that the problem was fixed he seemed better to adjust.
Well, Tai thought, She may be small, but her courage and strength are beyond her years. I think I learned something today. My little sister is growing up, but she still needs me as much as I need her.
That night when Kari slept Tai looked up at the sky. Don't worry Mom, I'll take care of her. With that he lay next to his sister and fell asleep.
The End
